Bridging The Gap; The Final Records In Unova: An Autobiography

Closing Statements: The Autobiography Part 1 Of 2

"My name is June. I'm the Gym Leader of Gringey City," June introduced herself. "It's a pleasure to meet you." She smiled brightly and brushed her red hair out of her face. "It looks like Squirtle and that Trainer over there with the Charmeleon have a closer bond than the Squirtle has with her owner." June walked up to us and smiled a dazzling and warm smile, looking directly at me. "You and this Squirtle have history, don't you?" She explained to Robin, "that Squirtle is a she. I can tell plain as day."

"Yes, Gary?" June asked me tearfully. She sniffled. "What is it?"

"I've been a Gym Leader for one year and have never won a battle." June grabbed my hand and pulled me to where the water was. "Look at the sunset! I come here every day, all alone, to watch this. It's nice to have company this time." She smiled at me. "I want to know all about you! You interest me so much!"

"I really only came here for a Pokemon battle," I explained.

She frowned, all the warmth and love from her face now cold as ice. "Fine!" she said angrily. She turned and stormed away.

"We battled about four years ago, June," I said with a smile. "You were only twelve, and I was just ten. Now, you're sixteen and I'm fourteen. We've been through a whole lot. So much has changed."

I knocked on the door to the Gringey City Gym. One tap.

ZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTT!!!

I was on the floor before I knew what hit me.

June glared down at me. "I guess my trap door worked," she spoke. "Welcome to Gringey City Gym."

"We're the same people we always were, and yet, so much more than that," I told her.

"I choose you! Ampharos!" June tossed her Poke Ball with grace and out came Ampharos.

"Go Beedrill!" I yelled out, tossing the Poke Ball. "Beedrill, use Twinneedle, now!"

Beedrill flew forward and Ampharos began skillfully dodging the Poison Bee's constant jabs at her face and body.

"Cotton Guard!" June called.

Ampharos' body became covered in a white fluff. The fluff continued to grow and Ampharos was no longer visible behind it.

Beedrill was jabbing, but the damage was now cushioned.

"Beedrill, Toxic Spikes!"

Beedrill put his two stingers in front of him and a deep purple orb appeared between them. The orb was tossed into the air and it exploded into multiple spikes that hit the ground before disappearing.

"Use Rage attack!" I yelled.

Beedrill was hit with Thunderbolt and in the next instant, Beedrill flew forward and slammed into Ampharos with all his might.

The collision caused a bright flash of light and a loud explosion occurred.

I returned Beedrill to his Poke Ball and smiled at June.

June returned Ampharos to her Poke Ball and then glared at me. "Next up. Go, Manectric!" She threw her Poke Ball.

Suddenly, Manectric howled in pain as her body began to shiver and become covered in a purple shade.

"Manectric??" June cried out in horror.

"The effects of Toxic Spikes," I smiled confidently. "Primeape, go! Seismic Toss!"
