75 Gym battle - I
After emerging from the Team Rocket hideout, Xavier pondered his next steps. The hideout had yielded a significant haul, including an Escape Rope, a Nugget, TM 07 - Horn Drill, a Moon Stone, Super Potion, Hyper Potion, TM 10 - Double Edge, a Rare Candy, TM 02 - Razor Wind, HP Up, Iron, and PP Up. Additionally, he had acquired a Silph Scope from Giovanni.
His plan was clear: first, he would heal his Annihilape and Nidoking at the Pokémon Center. Then, he would head directly to the gym and challenge the junior trainers within.
Following his Pokémon's recovery, Xavier proceeded to the gym. After a short walk, he stood at the entrance and entered. Inside, he observed several junior trainers awaiting their challenges. Xavier employed his Inspect ability on one of them, revealing that she possessed a level 29 Weepinbell and a level 29 Ivysaur.
The battle commenced with Xavier's Alakazam facing off against a Junior Trainer's Weepinbell.
Weepinbell launched the first move, using Vine Whip to strike at Alakazam. But Alakazam's speed and agility allowed it to swiftly teleport away from the attack, reappearing a short distance away. As Weepinbell recovered from its strike, Alakazam's horn glowed with psychic energy, and it unleashed a precise Psycho Cut that sliced through the air. The attack hit Weepinbell with super-effective force, causing it to stagger back.
Weepinbell attempted to retaliate by releasing a cloud of Sleep Powder, but Alakazam's got away from that area. Seizing the advantage, Alakazam closed the distance with a sudden Teleport, appearing right next to Weepinbell. Before Weepinbell could react, Alakazam's Thunder Punch crackled with electric energy, striking the Grass-type Pokémon directly.
Weepinbell's health dwindled significantly after the Thunder Punch, and it knew it had to make a move. It launched a Knock Off attack .However, Alakazam was well-prepared, and its focus remained unshaken. It nimbly sidestepped the attack, avoiding the impact.
Alakazam saw the opportunity to finish the battle decisively. Its eyes locked onto Weepinbell, and its horn glowed once again with psychic energy. With a final burst of power, Alakazam executed another Psycho Cut that struck Weepinbell directly. Weepinbell's strength finally gave out, and it fell defeated to the ground.
Jr. Trainer brought out her Ivysaur, and Xavier opted to continue the battle with Alakazam.As the battle began, Xavier's Alakazam faced off against the Junior Trainer's Ivysaur. With an air of focus, Alakazam prepared for the encounter. Ivysaur wasted no time, launching a barrage of Razor Leaf projectiles. Alakazam swiftly moved to evade most of them, but a few managed to find their mark, causing small cuts on its body.
Not to be deterred, Alakazam retaliated with a quick Thunder Punch, sending an electric surge toward Ivysaur. The strike landed solidly, causing the Grass-Poison type to stagger backward. Yet, Ivysaur wasn't finished. It quickly recovered and responded with a Take Down, charging forward with determination. The impact struck Alakazam, leaving it visibly affected.
Seizing the moment, Alakazam gathered its psychic energy and unleashed a powerful Psycho Cut. The psychic blade sliced through the air, striking Ivysaur with precision. Ivysaur let out a pained cry as it was hit, showing signs of fatigue. In response, it launched a Seed Bomb, a cluster of explosive seeds aimed at Alakazam. Despite the explosion, Alakazam stood its ground, showing its resilience.
As the battle progressed, Ivysaur attempted to gain the upper hand by using Poison Powder to poison Alakazam. Alakazam, however, managed to use its agility to avoid it.
Ivysaur gathered energy for a powerful Seed Bomb, but Alakazam was quicker. It channeled its psychic energy into a Teleport maneuver, vanishing from Ivysaur's sight just as the Seed Bomb was launched.
Reappearing behind Ivysaur, Alakazam delivered a precise Thunder Punch directly to Ivysaur's back. The Electric type energy coursed through Ivysaur's body, causing it to falter and slump to the ground.
The battle was won, and Alakazam emerged victorious.Afterward, Xavier collected his well-earned reward of 1800 pokecoins and continued his journey by engaging in battles with various trainers.
As time passed, he emerged victorious against all the trainers he encountered, leaving only one remaining challenge: the battle with Gym Leader Erika.
