8 Chapter 8 norm and 1st gym battle pt1

Norm P.O.V

The last I expected to greet in door in the morning was Kash when I woke up to max and may jumping on us for breakfest. As we headed to the kitchen and started cooking, max started running around the house not wanting to wash his hands before eating causing me to chase after him when I heard the doorbell ring making me wonder who it was this early in the morning as I pick Max up and open the door I surprised to see Kash with a puzzled expression on his face. when I hear

Kash" Hey Norm how's Maxie as he scowls at that name, and I'm here for that gym battle you promised and what's that nice smell"as I beckon him to follow me to the kitchen

Norm" I was expecting you at least a year ago, what was the hold. Where were you Birch didn't say anything about last time he came by"

Kash " was in sinnoh and caught up in some matters that got my attention, that delayed my league challenge by over a year" as I see his partner houndoom looking strong as always causing me to be eager to his challenge as its been a little bit since I had tough trainer making me think if I should put some requirements to challenge me.

Norm "lets eat and talk then we can battle in the afternoon at my gym. Honey we have a guest for breakfast, and may come here say hi to kash"as my wife and daughter say hello with may hiding behind her a little as she nervous as she can remember who Kash is, as he notices

Kash " It's okay she was still young when I left, and hello Caroline pleasure to see you again and as beautiful as ever"

As we sit down Kash goes over some of his adventures and I notice he left a few things out as I can see the deep scar just coming out from under his shirt making me curious on what he's been though and little worried as I remember when I first met him with birch and his companion always by his side.

Kash P.O.V

As we are eating and talking about somethings the other has missed has gotten me thinking about the battle that is approaching, making me glad that I told him to keep his pokemon he is using as a secret to make it more fun.As I think of the order of my pokemon for the battle as it is 3 vs 3 get me excited and want to be ready for a challange.

2 hours later at Normans gym

As we are set to battle norms lets his family watch, as he usually doesn't allow make me take out deino to spectate as he still to young to battle causing the who norman family to be surpised as they have never seen that pokemon before ask about it.

Kash " this pokemon is deino I got when I was in sinnoh but comes from region called Unova and its just a baby making me want to watch for the future and has potential for greatness."as I see and unasked question in norms face making me believe he can guess how I got knowing about my ideals and a little of my past. As Norms new assisstent kenny act as the ref for the challange walks to his podium to start the match

Kenny " The gym challenge with Kash the challenger and Norman the gym leader may begin it is a 3 vs 3 and only the challanger may substitute."as he waves his arm down I throw out my pokeball holding Creek

Kash " Come on out Creek start of with Iron defense"

Norman " come on out Slakoth start with fury swipes"

As I had called out iron defense greatly boosting his defense fury swipes does barely any damage, as I tell him to use chip away forcing Slakoth back and showing it caused great damage as it is breathing hard

Kash" use bite while he still recovering and don't let him go while smacking into the ground"as he jumps at Slakoth trying keep the distance close

Norm " Slakoth try to keep the distance and use hidden power"

As his pokemon tries to dodge but as he his hurt is slow enough to be caught by Creek and is being man handled and smacked around uses hidden power hitting Creek as smoke forms blocking us from see our pokemon, as the smoke slowly clears I seen creek standing and Slakoth fainted on the ground.

Kenny " Slakoth is unable to continue, call out your next pokemon"

Norm" thank you slakoth, come on out Vigoroth" as takes back his pokemon and lets out his next one.

kash" can you keep going Creek" as he looks at me and nods.
