" Go Hitmonchan"

" Go Pidgey"

Hitmonchan is a tan, humanoid Pokémon that is exclusively male. There are five blunt protrusions on top of its head, and it has extensions resembling pads over its shoulders. It appears to be wearing a light purple tunic and kilt, as well as red boxing gloves and light purple boxing shoes. As this appearance suggests, Hitmonchan specializes in punching.

" Pidgey whirlwind"

Hitmonchan dogdes by jumping in the air. Then suddenly Pidgey attacked it with high speed quick attack and peck combo. But Hitmonchan raised his hands to block yet it was still blown away. And once again it was a stare out. " Hitmonchan agility then hard impact"

" Pidgey featherdance"

As soon as it use it Hitmonchan attack it with thunderpunch. then suddenly Alex said," Wing attack and gust "

Now both Pokemon are breathing heavily. Pidgey only survived because feather dance weakened the attack or it will be knocked out.

while Marcus was anticipating this battle. Although not going all out it was quiet sometime since he let a bit loose. While his trainees looked shocked at the level of battle in front of them.

Finally both said," Mach punch"

" great impact" ( Using tailwind to speed up+ and tackle while spinning)

On impact a great wind blew and when dust cleared Pidgey was fainted and Hitmonchan in the last leg.

"Pidgey lost , Challenger release your next Pokemon"

Bringing back Pidgey while encouraged it and then ," Go Charmander"

After release it roared.

" Hitmonchan use return"

" Charmander flamethrower"

After the attack it fell.

" Go Mankey "

Mankey is a primate Pokémon, similar to a New World monkey. It is a bipedal Pokémon with a round body covered in whitish, shaggy fur. Its nose is similar to a pig's snout, and it has red eyes and triangular ears with brown insides. Mankey's hands, two-toed feet, and the tip of its curved, prehensile tail are brown.

" Mankey bulk up"

" Dragon dance"

Both up their stat then attacked

Mankey dashed towards Charmander and started scratching him. But Charmander dogded. They both started Slash at each other . In between once in a while it used fire claw and metal claw too. This damaged Mankey greatly. Then he started getting more and more rilled up and started with more ferocity. At this time they started hurting each other.

This time both are getting tired. It became a slugfest as Charmander wasn't given time to use flamethrower. And due to this Alex too got agitated then suddenly said ," Charmander slam your tail on the ground. and then release it"

Following the command. he did and dust flew and then a raging flame cut threw it at the Mankey. And submerged it in flame after that fainted. And this slugfest took a lot out of Charmander as it was not so defense in it and it was still young. So it was also breathing heavily.

This time although Charmander was standing he still withdrew it. And this time.

" Go Machoke "

"Go Haunter"

" Ah a Haunter . it will make the battle worthwhile. Are are ready Machoke."

"Mach..oke"

"Let's end this match with victory , Haunter".

" Hauunnteeer"

"Let the battle begin"

" Haunter use curse"

After this Machoke grimaced. then" Machoke knock off"

this sent Haunter back though before that he launched a poison bomb and toxic too. This is poisoned it.

" You are damn sinister kid"

" Hey I stayed in the forest for half a month. Of course it was it's instinct. I don't combat their instinct but let them go with the flow"

Then Machoke slammed towards Haunter with fire punch which Haunter countered with shadow punch. They clashed with their punches but during this time shadow ball will be released too. this hurt Machoke badly. But balanced by timely used of revenge. Then after another round of slugfest they had a stare down.

" Dual chop"

" Poison jab"

They both hit each other square. They both few back Haunter more so than Machoke. And then both fainted.

All were shocked by this result.

" Both the Pokemon are not able to continue. Since Challenger has a Pokemon left. So the winner is Alex of Floral town."

After pulled back Haunter, and hearing the result Alex jumped in the air in joy.

Seeing this Marcus thought,' Even though he was so calm during battle but it seems he still is a ten year old kid.'

" Congratulations kid. You really hammered down Machoke. Hahahahahaha"

Alex humbly said," It lost mainly as he was both cursed and poisoned otherwise Haunter won't stand a chance. "

" Don't be so modest. You won fair and square kid. Here is your gym badge. "

the gym badge was in the shape of a fist ✊ and with two stars in it. After seeing and taking the badge he thanked and headed out.

Marcus then said," So how do you feel compared to him. He almost let me about 50% out. If you want to be my successor you should stop thinking about Trainer in the town as your opponent look at the far bigger field. Or else you will only be crushed "

"I understand sir and I will work harder."

And Marcus too headed deeper in the gym. ' Well kid I really look forward to what you become in the future kid'

Alex headed to the Pokemon center then deposited the Pokemon for full recovery. Then Nurse joy said, " It will take 100 pokecoins each for Pokemon please."

Alex gave her his card then ' thank you for your time. " after depositing the Pokemon. He head for making calls to his family.

As he dialed the number in the phone, then on the screen appeared his siblings Ben who picked the phone" Hello Bart residence " in his child voice.

" Hey Ben how are you . not causing trouble."

" Alex??? Alex . Mom dad Clara look Alex called. Didn't I say he would call today. Now Clara say I am awesome."

" What Alex"

" Alex"

" Big brother"

Suddenly his whole family came and all were happy. Seeing him safe his mother cried then suddenly turned angry , " Well young man what do you think you were up to? Not even calling once . do you have any idea how afraid I was . I wasn't even able to do anything. heck your father wasn't able to work so he took holiday . and even your brother and sister were sad."

" I am sorry.sorry. I was at the forest and I only reached a town yesterday after resting I called. We'll look here what I got"

" What is it bug brother show me, show me" Clara asked excitedly.

He showed his gym badge. After seeing its dull texture both younglings lost their interest.

" Is it really what I think it is" his father asked surprised.

" Yeah I just won the badge as well my Pokemon are now healing. So sorry I can't show them to you."

" It's fine tell me what Pokemon do you have" Ben asked .

"Well I have a Haunter, Charmander, Butterfree and Pidgey."

" So your Ghastly evolved, caught Caterpie and Pidgey and that egg was probably a Charmander" His father said.

"As smart as ever dad well I gotta go they released my Pokemon."

" Well take care and do call every once in a while" His mother said softly.

" Bye big brother" *2

" Take care" His father said.

"Bye and you all take care too"

This is my family and I will always protect them. If anyone dare to do anything to them he will pay. this is what he thought coldly.

After taking his Pokemon as he was heading back he thought of the stranger and the number he gave

After some thought he once again went to the phone booth and then dialed his number.
