13 Chapter 13 2nd gym battle and reunion

Kash P.O.V

As I walk towards the gym I promised that I would use Cinder I will use him first today, he was a little upset when I didn't use him up against norm.As I look up I notice a plane in the distance, thinking today is going to be a good day as I spot the gym and head inside I see an old guy instructing young kids to battle. As he notices me

????" Hello young man, are you here for a gym battle"He asks me as the kids look up excited to watch

Kash " Yup, I am here for my 2nd gym badge as I beat norman for his badge first, and who are these kids, your grandsons perhaps?"as he looks surprise as I beat Norm knowing his strength and lack of holding back he gets a glint in his eye as he laughs

????" I am the gym leader Shade and I am also the principal of the local trainer school around here waiting for a student to come and able to take my place and speak of that, heres my top prospect Roxanne running here now" as I hear a girl calling out to him to wait for her with a Nosepass trying to keep up with her

Roxanne" hey gramps whos that handsome man with Houndoom and you promised to help teach my nosepass that move" as she smiles at me

Shade " I know I know, I will after my battle with this young challenger here" as he realise I haven't gave my name yet as I tell him it's kash as we head to the battlefield Roxanne wants to ref as I am okay with that as we head to prospective sides

Roxanne " The battle between rustboro gym leader Shade and challenger Kash is ready to start it will be a 2vs2 battle and only the challenger may switch during battle"

as we release our Pokémon , as call Cinder to the battlefield and see him release a Ninjask causing me to be a little surprised as I have to end this fast as it will continue to get faster the longer we battle as I call out cinder to start with useing flamethrower as he orders his Pokemon to use double team then try x-scissor as I order flame wheel as he gets closer and to contiue to gain speed as they impact causeing smoke to form as I can sense Cinders okay while they are covers I get him to use bite on ninjask and not let him go as the smoke clears as we see him with nijask struggiling and I notice his bite has become fire fang dealing more damage as I see my opponent faint. As shade calls him back

Roxanne " Ninjask is unable to battle the winner of first battle is houndoom call out your next Pokemon"

As I leave Cinder in as he took little to no damage as Shade calls out Shedninga as I smile seeing why this is a tough gym if you don't know that annoying abilty as I see Shade look at and sees I know his strategy.As start with fainst attack trying to draw him knowking that this will only take a hit or 2 to end it as I hear him use shadow sneak causing me to try and find him and I get Cinder to use sunny day increaseing his moves getting rid of some shadows causeing Shedninja to appear and as I tell him to use fire fang on him before can move phantom force and hits before it can get attacked as I see Cinder lightly shaken as I tell him to use flamethrower before Shedninja cand hide again and it hits.

Roxanne " Shedninja is unable to continue Houndoom wins and the victor goes to Kash."

Kash "I really enjoyed the battle as it was very intetesting as your first Pokemon uses speed to not get hit and to head in with strong attacks at full speed increasing their strength further and your Shedninja to hide and keep throwing your opponent off pace while gradually lower there strangth, thank you"as I walk to him and as he hands me my badge

Shade" you have a very strong Pokemon there and great knowledge as you seen through my strategy, here is my badge the evasion badge" as I see roxanne walk to me and gives me congrats as she starts to tell me her Pokemon and she can meet me again ever as I say we can see in the future as I head out of the building seeing to figures in front of me one a young lady around my age and the other quite younger

????" We knew you were going to be here as we saw you in the contest with that woman, right ane"

Anebel " Right you are lucy, from big brother who hasn't seen us in a year he found another girl to travel with, where is she by the way. You haven't called us in over a month too might I add" as I smile and despite thier attitude I can feel the warmth coming from them

Kash " Hi Annabel and Lucy, it's nice to see you again and thier is a reason as didn't have comms for over a month while I was stuck in the mountains chasing J as you know, also that was grace at the contest a trainer that I had to fix her attitude" as I explain

Lucy" Yeah but when you headed back to Hoenn you had access again am I right" as I realise I couldn't get out of this without an apology

Kash " Okay Im sorry I know I should have called you guys when I got back, also I have a gift for you 2 that I got from sinnoh that I left with oak that I want to give to you" as I smile and then I get hugged from the 2 as we walk to the Pokemon center I tell them what they missed as well show them my 2 new Pokemon I got while I was in sinnoh relaseing dieno and spiritomb.As I see ane talking to cinder and lucy smiling at deino as I see me and spiritomb left ignored and say to him

Kash "Don't worry buddy Im hear for you" as he jumps at me wanting to ride on my shoulder.
