Love Like Electricity (Pokemon SwSh Raihan) Book 1✔️

Chapter 10

Uila pops her neck as she prepares herself to enter the Challenge zone. Raboot's pokeball Jiggles excitedly, and Lucario's wriggles impatiently. "I know Lucario, but you can't be out until after the gym challenge, it's stupid but it is the rules." She goes over her plan once more. She would lead out with Raboot, who would use Flamethrower followed by Double Kick. "Number 06, you may proceed."

"Hello number 6, I am the one who will tell you the Challenge and then report my findings to HQ. You can call me Dan." She nods. "Your goal is to round up these Wooloo and get them to the marked area. Try to avoid Yampers, as they will cause the Wooloo to roll away from them. You may have to battle our Gym Trainers. I wish you luck. Begin whenever you are ready." Uila cracks her knuckles and begins to run towards the group of Wooloo, who begin to roll away. She gets them into the first area easily, and watches as they knock over the Hay-Bale wall easily. She walks over to the Trainer waiting to ambush her. "Hey! My job is to stop you from facing Milo, and I am going to Fulfil that role!" He shouts out, sending out a Budew. "Raboot, let's show them our fiery spirit!" Raboot narrow his eyes as Budew. "Use Flamethrower!" The move one hit KO'd the Budew, who was much weaker than Raboot. The trainer slumped over defeated. "I guess I failed, again." he hands over a wad of cash. "Good battle." He perks up as she runs off, herding the Wooloo in the opposite direction of the Yamper, who chases her, accidentally helping her.

Uia runs into another trainer, who looks at her up and down. "You are nothing special, which is why I am going to stop you here and now!" She sends out a bounsweet. "Show her the strength of a burning fire Raboot!" Raboot quickly defeats her Bounsweet. Uila pressed onward, defeating the last and final trainer and getting the Wooloo into the marked areas. "Number 06 Uila has made it past the first challenge with ease! She is on her way to the pitch to face Milo!"

Raihan watches the TV with interest, watching her battle the trainers with ease. He smiles as she makes it to the pitch, standing confidently across from Milo. Raihan looks at his phone as a text from Leon pops up. 'Uila sure kicked ass huh?' Raihan shakes his head wondering if his rival had some sort of Telepathic ability. 'No I cannot read minds.' Raihan almost dropped his phone.

"Since I am the first gym leader, I try to make that challenge as difficult as possible, but it was no problem for you huh?" Uila smiles. "I grew up near farmland." His eyes widened slightly. "This battle is going to be a doozy, I know I am going to have to Dynamax to even have a shot at winning. Good luck." "You too." Uila takes a deep breath to help her block out the roaring crowd, before straightening herself and staring determinedly and confidently across the field. "Battle start!" The Referee calls. "Let's go Glossifleur." "Show everyone the strength of a raging fire Raboot!" The two pokemon stand across from each other, staring each other down. "Raboot use flamethrower!" The attack strikes Glossifleur, weakening it almost to the point of Fainting it. "Follow up with Double-Kick Raboot!" "Use Leaf Cutter!" Raboot takes little damage, while the Kicks knock out the pokemon.

"I guess you are more powerful than they say. Come on Eldegoss! It's time to Dynamax!" The pokeball in his hand grows large as he tosses it behind him. A giant Eldegoss appears, and Uila was happy that she gave the Firium Z to Raboot temporarily. "You may think that you have an advantage since I can't Dynamax, but that is where you are wrong." She moves through the moves needed for the move, and Raboot is surrounded in energy. "Eldegross use Max Overgrowth!" "Raboot! Inferno Overdrive!" The move hits Eldegross, hitting it strong enough to prevent the move it was preparing. "Finish this off with a flamethrower!" The attack hits dead on, causing the giant pokemon to shrink as it faints. "Eldegross has fainted, leaving the Victor as Uila and her Raboot!"

She walks to the middle with Raboot by her side. "Congratulations, you have officially obtained the Grass Badge. Your next gym will be in Hulberry with Nessa, I wish you luck." She shakes his hand. "Thank you, great battle Milo." He nods and fiddles with his bandanna. Uila makes her way out of the pitch and changes out of her uniform, letting out Lucario. The trio exit the gym. "Wait!" Uila turns to see a gym trainer rushing after her. "Yes?" "Here is a set of the Grass-Type Uniform, as well as the TM Magical Leaf. Congratulations on your win." Uila blinks surprised, looking at the stuff that had been shoved into her arms. She puts the items into her bag before looking at the two pokemon that were beside her. "Let's go back to the hotel and get some food." The two cheer and begin running off toward the hotel.

"Slow down you two!"
