You wake up being agitated, today’s nightmare felt more vivid, even though you can’t recall it. Also, it seems like you missed your alarm and overslept a little.
Your team is still asleep, yesterday was pretty tiring considering all that sparring.

It’s currently 9:20 am

They gym opens at 10:00 am, it’s located near the industrial park of North pass city. It should take you around 20 minutes to get there on bike (normally). You and Eli bet on who would get the gym-badge first, winner can request anything from the loser.

Anons want to freshen, but don't know it'll go down the drain after we bike doing physical labor and sweating. That's some autism right there

But only a little - it's more for comfort than hygiene if we're taking the bike. Going for a bike ride while you're already covered in shit feels terrible, but you're going on a bike ride; you're not going to be fresh as a daisy at the end of it anyway.

You wake up your team for a quick breakfast and hop on the shower and get yourself clean as fast as possible. You also decline Mimikyu's offer to "Wash master's back"

Clothes on your body, Pokéballs in your belt, traveling backpack in your back, mons by your side. Some lunch your mom made currently in your mouth.
You are ready for this.

Before getting on your foldable bike you take a quick look to a list you made shortly before starting your journey. It’s a list of your future objectives, every time you see it, it makes you feel determined.

All those years of running around the city and playing with your Pokémon pals have given you some considerable stamina. You are not ripped by any measure, you are a scrawny 15-year-old boy, but your legs don’t give up easily.

You ride like the wind, and luckily there’s not much traffic today. You get to the industrial park in no time! Before anyone really, the only one here is Eli who seems to have arrived way too early. She’s sitting by the doors of the building, asleep.

The place is considerably big, the building is twelve stories tall, but only the 3 last floors are dedicated to the gym. Oh, seems like the doors are opening soon!

>>2907683

>Look for any alternate means to get inside the gym.


Looking through, the glass door you can see the lobby, there are various elevators labeled “employees only”, and a single door labeled “For challengers” that seems to lead to some stairs.

A stern looking office-lady is sitting on a desk, behind it there’s another elevator that simply reads “Invitation only.”

You have some time to spare to check out if there’s any other ways to get inside the gym. To the side of the building there’s an employee’s only entrance guarded by some uniformed men.
At the back, there’s an old metal ladder that leads to one of the upper floors. It seems to be unguarded.

You go to Eli to wake her up, you feel that otherwise the competition wouldn’t be fair. You try calling her attention to no avail. You consider nudging her, but you kind of still feel awkward from last night, besides she seems really tired
So, you have Whismur wake her.

The Pink Pokémon let’s out a screech just loud enough to erase any trace of sleepiness from the punkish girl.

Eli: Dude! Why didn’t you wake me up yourself? My head’s ringing. Agh

Percy: Sorry, you seemed to be sleeping pretty heavily. You ok?

Eli: Yeah, just some dumb stuff happened last night. Anyways, Aren’t you a gentleman?

Percy: I Just wanted to make it fair, victory is more satisfying that way

Eli: (Snickers) Getting cocky weirdo?

Seems like the doors finally opened to the public. They probably just don’t want you two loitering around anymore. As soon as the glass doors open Eli hurries to the stairs.

Eli: I’ll make you regret waking me up! You’ve wasted your chance Percy!

You are a Pokémon trainer, just like everybody else challenging this Gym. You'll take it on as it was intended!

You make your way to flight of stairs.
It's pretty long,pretty damn long.

You finally arrive to the upper floors, you are behind Eli by a couple of meters.

The stairs end in a hallway that lead to two doors.

You can hear voices and murmurs from one, while on the other there's machinery and mechanic sounds. You aren't sure which one Eli choose.

Which one will you enter?

All those voices are probably trainers, chances are that if you take that route you’ll be subjected to a bunch of Pokémon battles.

So, you opt for the other option.

You open the door to the sight of tons of conveyor belts running around, escalators and moving platforms. At some of the platforms, as well as the ends of some escalators there’s workers holding Pokéballs. There’s locked metal door with no current ways of getting in.
Also, at the ends of the conveyor belts as well as at the moving platforms there’s red, blue and green colored interrupters, they seem to be labeled with numbers valued from 0 to 9.

It’s a puzzle.

The moment you enter an Office lady asks for your Trainer License, she’s scans it to confirm its authenticity and to inform the workers that you currently have no badges, so they’ll adjust the difficulty of their challenges.

It's either a "make them all one color" puzzle or a "0 to 9 in order" puzzle.

>>2907948
>Try to figure it out! Stay still and think this through before going in.
If it would help the roll any, can you tell us more about the pokeballs? What types are there?

>>2907975
>there’s workers holding Pokéballs

The kind with trainers attached.

>>2907963
It's a color puzzle. We take the wrong route we have to fight a worker. I'm guessing we have to hit the 3 colors in a correct order to light up the 0-9

I'm thinking shortest wavelength to longest. Or vice versa so 50/50 shot.
Red, green, blue for long to short
Blue, green, red ror short to long.

Or it's a color mixing puzzle. Where we have to get 9 colors by mixing them. But I'm more confident in my former guess.

You decide to take your time to tackle this problem in the most effective manner. Trying to see if there's any way to tell if the interrupters are linked to something in particular.

It could be easier to concentrate on the matter if there wasn't that music playing.

I gave mine.

Could also be that we could just pull the interrupter by number order going up.
Red 0 then green 0 then blue 0
Red 1 then green 1...etc.
If that doesn't work then we could vice versa it.

>>2908017

Let's see, three colors, numbers from 0-9...
Maybe it could be something like turning all of them to the same color, what would be the optimal way of doing that? Or maybe the colors are just a distraction and I need to turn them in numerical order. Do the colors matter? some of them skip numbers without rhyme or reason, is there a pattern I'm not seeing?

And that damn music from Pokémon battling simulator 98 isn't helping!

At least Whismur seems to like it, humming alongside the tune. I wonder why did the gym leader wanted to use the old version instead of a more recent one. I mean it's nostalgic and all but...

Battling simulator 98, red, green and blue buttons.

Oh, I get it

You look at the buttons, the only button with a 9 is a red one, while the only one with an 8 is a blue one. It’s just a matter of pressing both buttons, and if you are right it shouldn’t take more than two battles!

Wait, are we talking international release or the original release in the Kanto region? Oh, a green button is the only one with a six on it. That's still only 2 battles. The worker closer to you and the one in a platform that's constantly moving.

You go to the one guarding the red interruptor with a 9 on it. Seems like he has only 1 Pokéball.

The gym worker sends out a small rodent-like Pokémon. It doesn't seem particularly tough. The little Steel-type one only wants to get this over so he can go get lunch. But work is work.

This shouldn't be too hard. Even if the conveyor belt isn't too big you should have enough space to maneuver.

Did the conveyor belt start moving randomly back and forth?

Togedemaru accelerates jumping whenever the conveyor belt starts moving on the opposite direction to not lose any speed.

Houndour lets out the merciless flames from his snout, engulfing the Steel-Type just as he jumps in the the air trying to hit Houndour right on his head.

The electric type mon also connects, passing through Houndour´s flames and hitting him in the head.

>Togedemaru used Rollout!
>It's super effective!
>Togedemaru "Iron Barbs" increased the damage slightly

It's a relief that Togedemaru wasn't particularly strong, Houndour has been hurt but he is still in a stable condition.

Togedemaru on the other hand succumbed to your mon's flames.

The worker takes the mouse to the cafeteria so they can get some lunch.

[Houndour]: Little bastard gave me a headache

>Quick Victory!
>Houndour gained some experience

You press the button and the machinery on the room starts moving and changing directions, the Iron door, leading to different paths you could take. But you already know which one is the correct one.

The next worker seems has two Pokéballs ready, he is waiting for you on the moving Platform.

>Heal Houndour first?

I'm thinking if Houndour can't take both Pokémon, we switch him out before he passes out. Since it's easier on the mon to heal it up rather than wake it up from its passed out state and give him heals.

So yeah, heals after this one

The Klefki tires to cover Houndour with the sludge, but as a Dark type, he naturally felt it coming evading the poisonous attack with no problem.

The worker who overlooked such crucial aspect of his Pokémon' ability is deeply embarrassed and apologizes for being a fuck-up

Your partner starts attacking Klefki with a barrage of flames, making the Steel type screech in pain.

The steel types backs to the edge of the arena, trying to avoid the intense heath. If it weren't floating it would have not enough ground to stand.

No, we didn't. You could try and fashion a shitty collar with some rope and the charcoal after the battle though

You can hear a voice speaking loudly through an intercom nearby.

This makes the worker visibly nervous.

He instructs Klefki to use Flash cannon and keep his distance from Houndour.

Houndour keeps blasting Klefki with his flamethrower, but the steel type does his best to avoid as much damage as possible, moving out of the attack's reach.

>Houndour used Flamethrower!
>It's super effective!

Still, he manages to get enough damage in Klefki to send him to critical condition, he's almost done for.

The moment Houndour's let's his flamethrower down just a bit Klefki manages to retaliate with a Flash cannon!

Klefki starts gathering wind around himself. he's trying to use "Fairy wind" To throw Houndour off balance and make him fall.

Houndour tries to no avail to burn Klefki, but the Steel type manages to avoid the calmer flames. Even while being in critical state it's start teasing Houndour, drawing him closer and closer before releasing her attack!

>Houndour has been damaged further! He is still slightly above half of his health

The wind makes Houndour finally fall, you take out his Pokéball and call him back, still, the Pokémon doesn't waste this opportunity, he trust you to call him back in time.

Instead of bracing himself for the fall he manages to get an "Ember" in!

You send your little pink ball of ridiculous strength forward. She's been waiting for a battle.

The worker releases his final Pokémon from his ball. Still in his sheath, the Ghost/ Steel type examines your teammate. It's a Honedge!

The attack itself isn't particularly powerful, but Whismur has quite the strength on those stubby little arms of hers.

Whismur get in Honedge way as he tries to dance gracefully to raise his attack stat. Just to be taken by surprise while Whismur delivers a blow to his body while screeching in a really unsettling maner.

>Honedge has received damage! But he's still good to go.

Seems like Honedge is preparing to retaliate and go into the offensive

>>2908473

I'm assuming that supersonic doesn't follow the whole 'normal type doesn't affect ghost type' thing, seeing as confuse ray can hit normal types.

>>2908473
Given Whismur's moveset, we're presently limited to Screech, Supersonic, and Astonish.

I say we Supersonic to buy ourselves some time, Screech, and then hammer home.

You command Whismur to use Supersonic! Her naturally loud voice should help her execute the move.

Honedge is trying to use "Automotize" to get rid of his sheath and get an speed advantage.

You cover your ears instinctively before Whismur let's out a strange and pretty damn loud sound. It messes with Honedge senses, who was trying to get rid of his sheath trying to draw itself from it, but instead he continuously bashes himself with the ground trying to get it out.

Even the trainer of Honedge seems kind of affected, struggling to keep standing still.

>Honedge hurts himself! The damage in the steel type starts to be visible.
>Honedge is confused, he has 1/3 of chance to hurt himself during battle. He is also easier to hit and evade while he is confused.

This could be your chance to finish this battle as quickly as possible.

Honedge trainer is still confused, not being able to issue commands to Honedge, the mon it's on his own, and his state of mind isn't the best either. He is trying snap out of it as soon as possible.

1: Hurts himself

3: Keeps being confused

>>2908547
>>2908548
>Highest roll 8: Honedge flinched
>Successful pass!

Whismur keeps attacking Honedge with "Astonish", the blade Pokémon tries to move away from your mon barrage of attack, just to be stopped by his assailant who is now grabbing tightly from Honedge handle.


Honedge moves wildly trying to make Whismur let go, but your mon doesn't falter. He starts dragging Honedge closer to the edge of the platform.

>What do?

>>2908567

>>2908567

>>2908567
Throw him off the ledge if we are close enough, otherwise just go with Astonish and drag him some more.

>>2908567
the image in my head of this is just amazing

Also, I think I thought of a funny name for Whismur Whisper would be a funny nickname

>>2908567

>>2908803

Whismur is almost at the edge of the platform, draggin Honedge along, if she keeps it up you could end this in a ring out.

The steel/ghost type, still confused, keeps trying to get himself out of Whismur's grasp by flailing its body wildly.

Just in case, you command Whismur to keep using Astonish in case the Honedge tries anything with the cloth he uses as a limb.

>Successful pass!
While Whismur keeps moving to the edge of the platform, the steel type tries to "Slash" at Whismur, putting all of it's weight into it, but ends up bashing itself into the ground with way too much force

>Honedge hurt itself in its confusion.

Even though he missed Whismur he managed to burrow a part of his body onto the platform, and it's trying to remain unmovable by Whismur.

When your Pokémon tries to apply more force so she can keep dragging the Honedge the steel type tries to get her with it's cloth, in an attempt to wrap itself on Whismur and weaken her with it's life draining properties. But his movements are sloppy.
>Whismur used astonish!
>It's super effective
>Highest roll: 10
>Honedge flinched.

Whismur smacks it away without a problem and retrieves Honedge from the ground.

You should try and get more damage in while you have an advantage, and if you manage to make him flinch throwing him wouldn't be a problem!

Even in it's confused state Honedge realizes what Whismur is trying to do.
Once again he tries to get a hold of her with it's cloth, this time to avoid being thrown and to secure that his next hits lands.

Honedge tries to wrap around Whsimur right arm, your mon lets her left arm free to fend off Honedge attempts using Astonish. The steel type tries to move as fast as possible to not let Whismur any breathing space, but because of his confused state he sometimes misses your mon, giving Whismur an opportunity to deliver a particularly strong Astonish to Honedge body.

Honedge flinches! For a moment he's unresponsive, his condition looks pretty bad too. Compared to Whismur who has not been hurt throughout this bout.

In the second Honedge flinches, Whismur lifts him over her head and with a battle scream hurls him to the ground with all the strength of her little arms. The steel type doesn't even get a chance to react.

He flies across the room, barely avoiding the conveyor belts, and finds himself embedded deeply into the floor below all the mechanisms. He tries to get out with no avail

>Honedge loses by ringout!
>Whismur wins this bout!
>It's Percy's win!

>The worker is really worried about his job!

The platform and mechanisms move around the room, clearing the path to the metal doors where the gym leader is behind.
There’re still 4 workers left un-battled, you could easily go and fight them without pressing any more of the interrupters.
The music that filled the gym also stopped, being replaced by a completely different tune.

>Heal Houndour?

>Make Houndour a makeshift collar so he can hold the “Charcoal”

>Go straight to the gym leader

>>2909489

>>2909489

We weren't going to use Vulpix for the leader, right? We can use this opportunity to let her catch up to the rest.

>>2909504
It's now or never. You can't challenge a gym after getting the badge. You can ask the Gym-Leader or the workers for a battle on their free hours though.

They probably won't use the same Pokémon, going for their actual team instead of using the Pokémon supplied by the gym

>>2909489
This Whismur is just ridiculous. It's beyond me why our arguably weakest Pokémon is the one that rolls consistently better in battle.
>Heal Houndour?
Yes
>Make Houndour a makeshift collar so he can hold the “Charcoal”
Yes, but also
>Equip Mimikyu the Macho Brace
Since I'm he's lagging a bit the Bronzor should be a good challenge.

>>2909489

>Heal Houndour
>Battle Gym leader

>>2909489
>>Heal Houndour?
>>Go straight to the gym leader

>>2909527
Eh. Whismur lacks Mimikyu and Houndour's experience, but she's been doing really well in her training, so I doubt she loses out in stats. She was apparently some sort of escaped lab Pokemon as well, so she was probably pretty high spec in that area to start with.

You spray Houndour with a POTION to heal his injuries, the Pokémon rubs the medicine onto his head his paw, where the Togedemaru hit him earlier. He is almost at his optimal state.

It would be good to try and make that makeshift collar before facing the gym leader. Using only some rope and trying to not waste too much time you struggle but finally make something at least “wearable”.

[Vulpix]: That looks awful trainer, I wouldn’t wear that even if you begged

[Mimikyu]: Don’t insult Master’s craftmanship! Still, you certainly could improve it with some more time.

[Houndour]: Who cares about that? As long as it works it’s good enough for me

[Vulpix]: You should care more about your appearance Houndour, a female takes pride on a good looking mate

[Houndour]: Shut it “Ice-cream”.

>You equipped Houndur with the Charcoal!

Also, there’s still four workers who you didn’t even challenged. They aren’t obligatory battles, but you can’t pass on some battle experience.

Percy: Hey Vulpix, you up for some battles?

Vulpix; Pfft, obviously trainer. Just get me to them and I’ll freeze their asses!
>Quick battles!
>All of the workers have 1 Pokémon each. They are all steel type so Vulpix will probably find herself at a disadvantage.
>She trained to fight against steel type yesterday and did a pretty good job, so it shouldn’t be impossible for her!

>45: At least she beat the first one
>60: Vulpix handled two of the worker’s mon on her own. She did pretty good and deserves some rest
>75: Vulpix managed to beat three of the four worker’s mons. She’s pretty tired after all these battles.

Vulpix faces off against a Ferroseed and a Shieldon!

The battle against Ferroseed it’s a long winded one, with it’s tough defenses the Ferroseed tanks Vulpix attacks. But your Pokémon doesn’t relent and keeps wearing him down! The Ferroseed tries to take advantage of his typing and keeps attacking Vulpix with “Iron Claws” but your mon’s speed is superior and manages to win the battle without much damage. Just a little tired!

The problem was with the Shieldon, who even after being confused and his strength was lowered thanks to “Baby-Doll eyes”, endured Vulpix’s barrage of attack thanks to his defenses and typing. Taking advantage of the now tired Vulpix the Shieldon lowered its defenses with “Metal sound” and in his next chance rammed Vulpix using Iron head! Vulpix was almost down for the count. She managed to provoke him and made the Rock/steel type fall from the moving platform where they battled.

>Vulpix gained a considerable amount of Experience!
>Vulpix is too tired to keep battling

Maybe you should heal Vulpix in case you use her in the next battle:
>Use a potion to heal her?
>Let her rest, take her to a Pokémon center afterwards

Honestly the only ideas for what we'd want was for her to do a contest with us. She probably has a more interesting pick.

>>2909731
>Let her rest, take her to a Pokémon center afterwards
The whole point of doing this was because she was skipping the gym leader fight, so eh.

>>2909731

We'll only be able to use one potion in the gym battle, and we've got plenty, so we may as well heal her up, just in case.

>>2909731
>Let her rest, take her to a Pokémon center afterwards
Eli's using three mons too, right?

>>2909738
It's not a sure thing yet, anon. This was just the roll to see who challenged the leader first. I think Medi will make her roll again. Personally though, I wouldn't mind her winning the bet to see what she actually wants out of us.

You decide to let Vulpix get some well deserved rest, she handled her own pretty decently. There's still some way to go but she's decided to catch up as soon as possible.

You go through the iron doors. There’s a little hallway that leads to a single door with a metal plaque that reads “Gym leader M.Horikoshi”. You can hear the sounds of battling before the door. Seems like he is busy.

After a minute or so the sounds of battle die out. The door opens, a punkish girl with Pink hair stands before you, grinning confidently. In her left arm an unconscious Trubbish rests. She extends her right arm to you in a quick manner, she’s holding a small badge in her fingers.

Eli: Suck it weirdo!

Percy: …Is that your request?

Eli:No!

Percy: Hehe, just messing with you.. (you weren’t)

Eli:The guy definitely has a stick up his ass, but we showed him who’s boss, right team?

[Tremor]: Right on! He’s just a pushover. (The croc confirms in a smug manner)

[Jaws]: I CAN’T FEEL MY FUCKING LEGS

Avenger the Trubbish is knocked out,

Eli:Welp, gotta make a quick stop to a Pokémon center. See you later Slowpoke, don’t make me wait too much!

The girl exits to another door. She seemed pretty happy.
……………………….
You enter the room, is an ample office like space with a huge window that lets you view North-pass city. At the end of the room there’s a serious looking man sitting on his desk, typing furiously on a computer while reading and signing different papers. He has an unchanging facial expression.

Between you and him there’s a standard battling arena.

The man starts to talk without diverting his eyes from his work.

[Gym-Leader Michael]: Percival Williams

[Gym-Leader Michael]: 15 years of age, first Gym-challenge, winner of the Rookie trainer. Nicknamed “Arsonist”

[Gym-Leader Michael]: You have 5 minutes to defeat me in battle. You are allowed to use any number of Pokémon you see fit. I'll battle using three.

He finally stops his work, getting up from his desk and looking directly at you

[Gym-Leader Michael]: Time is vital for productivity, don’t let mine go to waste.
