Chapter 5: The First Badge
"This is your house?!" Bobby asked in amazement. The group stood in front of a large mansion with a size of at least a thousand square feet.
"My family is very rich." Spencer explained. "My brother works in the next town, and brings home a lot of money."
"Wow..." Dan said, still taking in the massive size of the house. The group walked into the foyer, and saw that they were standing on a floor of marble. Crystal chandeliers lined the ceiling, and a golden banaster lined the staircase.
"Follow me, and I will escort you to your rooms." Said a woman in a maid's uniform. The maid led each of them them to their own magnificent guest bedroom on the second floor.
"It's beautiful." Tatianna said.
"Thank you." Spencer said politely. "Now then. When you wake up in the morning, I suggest that you try the Pokemon Gym nextdoor. I work there, and I'm sure at least one of you is taking the league challenge."
"Alright!" Matt responded. "We'll be there." Each of the trainers walked to their own rooms, and Spencer walked down the long carpeted hallway to his.
"Oh, before I forget, Spencer," Bobby began, "What do you do, working at the Pokemon Gym?"
"You'll find out tomorrow." Spencer answered with a smile on his face.
"Welcome to the Treemor Town Gym!" Said the greeter as the group walked in. Though the Gym looked normal on the outside, on the inside the Gym walls looked like the inside of a giant termite nest, and Woodmites scurried around the building, going to and from various holes in the walls.
"Woah!" Matt exclaimed, looking around. "This place is crazy!"
"Which of you will be challenging our leader today?" The greeter asked.
"Hmm...this looks like a Bug type Gym, so that will be me." Bobby volunteered. "May I ask who your leader is?"
"Why, the esteemed Spencer, of course!" The greeter replied. "He was able to master Bug Pokemon at such a young age..."
"Wait, Spencer?!" Bobby asked in disbelief.
"Hi guys!" Spencer yelled from across the room, waving his hand at the group. "I guess I forgot to mention that I'm the Gym Leader here...well, in any case, good luck, Bobby!"
"You may proceed to the first Gym Trainer." The greeter said, allowing Bobby to pass by. "The rest of you must stay here and watch." He added, stopping the other five trainers from following Bobby.
"Good luck!" Tatianna said, waving as Bobby turned away and walked toward the first trainer.
"I'll cream you! You won't even make it to Spencer!" The trainer, a young bugcatcher boy, said confidently. "Go, Woodmite!"
"We'll see about that." Bobby responded, equally confident. "Go, Cubburn!" The two Pokemon stared eachother down for a while, Woodmite's teeth clicking together.
"If you won't make a move, I will!" Bobby shouted. "Cubburn, Ember!" The young lion Pokemon leaped forward, spewing a blast of fire from its mouth. The fire hit the Woodmite dead on, leaving rather severe burn marks.
"Woodmite, Mud Slap!" The Bugcatcher ordered. The ground type Pokemon kicked the ground fiercely with its short legs, causing an oddly large amount of Mud to come up and hit Cubburn, covering its face and reducing its accuracy.
"Don't worry, Cubburn!" Bobby encouraged. "You can win this! Ember!" Once again the fire Pokemon leaped out at the bug, barraging it with another Ember attack, knocking it out.
"No! My Woodmite!" The trainer exclaimed, returning the bug Pokemon to its Pokeball. "Well, you beat me, fair and square." He told Bobby as he handed him a washcloth. "Use this to wipe you Cubburn's eyes off, and go on to the second gym trainer."
"Thank you." Bobby said, wiping off his Pokemon's face.
"That last trainer was a pushover!" The second trainer, also a bugcatcher, exclaimed. "You won't beat me! I have the same Pokemon team as Spencer!"
"Yes, but are they trained as well?" Bobby asked somewhat sarcastically.
"Just you watch!" The trainer replied. "Go, Skeetle!"
"I think I'll use my own Skeetle here." Bobby said, sending out his second Pokemon. The two scarabs eyed eachother, ready to fight. "Skeetle, Ember!" Bobby ordered.
"Skeetle, use an Ember of your own!" The bugcatcher commanded. The two Skeetles both launched their ember attacks, hitting eachother. By the intensity of the burn marks left on each Pokemon, it was obvious that Bobby's was stronger. The two Pokemon continued to use Ember, weakening eachother further and further, until eventually the Gym Trainer's Skeetle had been defeated.
"No! Skeetle, return!" The young trainer shouted. "Go, Woodmite!"
"Another one?" Bobby questioned rhetorically. "Fine...let's use Ember!" The Skeetle used another Ember attack, hitting the Woodmite and weakening it noticeably.
"I won't use cheap tricks to win like that other trainer." The bugcatcher informed. "Woodmite, Cut!" The termite Pokemon ran up, slicing the beetle with its large, pincer-like teeth. Already weakened from the previous Pokemon, this left Bobby's Pokemon very close to being knocked out.
"Alright! Let's get one more Ember in before you're knocked out!" Bobby ordered. The Skeetle used one final Ember attack, and was then defeated by the opposing Woodmite's cut.
"Skeetle, return!" Bobby exclaimed. "Go, Cubburn!" As soon as Cubburn emerged from its Pokeball, it knew all it needed to do to finish the Woodmite off was to use another Ember. With Bobby's word it did so, knocking out the bug Pokemon.
"No! You beat me!" The bugcatcher exclaimed in dismay. "Very well, you can fight Spencer now."
"I'm impressed that you made it this far." Spencer said. "Good job. Now, before we fight, I insist that you heal your Pokemon." He extended his arm, pointing to a machine in the corner of the room that resembled those found at the Pokemon Center.
"Thank you." Bobby said, walking over to the machine and placing his Pokeballs on it. The machine made a few noises and blinked, showing it was finished healing his Pokemon. Bobby took the Pokeballs from the machine, reattaching them to his staff, and walked over to where Spencer stood.
"Alright. Shall we begin?" Spencer asked, throwing his first Pokeball into the air and releasing a Skeetle.
"Go, Skeetle!" Bobby shouted, releasing his own Skeetle.
"Skeetle, Cut!" Spencer commanded.
"Skeetle, Ember!" Bobby responded almost immediately. Spencer's Skeetle lunged forward, its horn positioned to slam down on Bobby's. Bobby's Skeetle looked up and used Ember attack, knocking the oncoming Skeetle back and interrupting its attack.
"Clever move." Spencer said. "But I won't fall for it twice! Let's go, Skeetle!" Spencer's Skeetle ran forward once again, but this time did not jump. Bobby's Skeetle tried to hit it with another Ember, but it went around the blast and hit Bobby's Skeetle with a Cut attack from the side, sending it flying backwards.
"Skeetle, retaliate with tackle!" Bobby shouted. His Skeetle got back on its feet and ran at Spencer's, ramming into its side.
"Come on, Skeetle, let's try an Ember!" Spencer exclaimed. Spencer's Skeetle regained its posture and blew a blast of fire at Bobby's.
"Counter with your own Ember!" Bobby commanded. Bobby's Skeetle jumped above the Ember attack from Spencer's and launched an Ember of its own which hit the other Skeetle.
"Skeetle, I know you're hurt, but you can finish him off now!" Spencer shouted. "Cut attack!" His Skeetle lunged forward, slicing Bobby's with its horn. Bobby's Skeetle, already quite wounded, could not take another attack and was knocked out.
"Skeetle, return!" Bobby exclaimed. "I choose you, Cubburn!" The lion cub emerged from its Pokeball, staring the enemy Skeetle down. "Cubburn, we can finish it off now! Ember!" Hearing the command, Cubburn spewed another Ember attack, hitting the enemy Skeetle and knocking it out as well.
"Good job." Spencer said, returning the defeated Skeetle to its Pokeball. "Let's avenge him, Woodmite!" Spencer threw his second Pokeball into the air, revealing yet another Woodmite.
"Cubburn, Ember!" Bobby commanded. Cubburn leaped into the air, bombarding the Woodmite with fire, just as it had done to the Skeetle.
"Woodmite, Cut!" Spencer exclaimed. The Woodmite ran out of the area where it had been hit, slashing at the Cubbun as it returned to the ground.
"Shake it off, Cubburn!" Bobby shouted. "Use another Ember attack!" The Cubburn turned to face Woodmite, launching an Ember at close range.
"We've gotta be more careful!" Spencer informed his Pokemon. "Let's use Mud Slap!" Just as the first trainer's Woodmite had, Spencer's Woodmite kicked the ground, spraying Cubburn's face with mud.
"Give it another Ember!" Bobby ordered. The fire Pokemon aimed at where it thought Woodmite was, spraying a blast of fire, but missed, as its vision had been blurred by the mud.
"It's working, Woodmite!" Spencer exclaimed. "Mud Slap again!" The Woodmite once again kicked the ground, covering Cubburn's face in even more mud.
"Don't worry, Cubburn!" Bobby encouraged. "You can still win this! Ember!" Once again the fire Pokemon leaped out at the bug, barraging it with another Ember attack, which, much to Spencer's dismay, hit, wounding the Woodmite again.
"One more of those could finish you off, so we just won't let him use another one! Mud Slap again!" Spencer commanded. The Woodmite once again sent mud flying towards Cubburn's face, blinding it even further.
"Let's end this!" Bobby shouted. "Ember!" Cubburn, now almost completely blinded, opened its mouth and let out an Ember attack, which went flying in completely the opposite direction.
"Good job, Woodmite!" Spencer exclaimed. "Now that he can't see you, let's start using Cut!" The Woodmite ran up to the blinded Cubburn, slashing at it again with its large pincer teeth.
"Come on, you can do it, Cubburn! Just concentrate!" Bobby yelled. "Be like Hittao and listen for him!" He paused for a few moments and continued, "Ember!" The lion Pokemon concentrated, listening for the sound of the Woodmite's feet on the Gym floor, and let loose another firey assault upon the bug Pokemon. The fire attack struck the Woodmite once again, knocking it out.
"Woodmite!" Spencer exclaimed in concern, returning the Pokemon to its Pokeball. "Very well. You have defeated me." He walked over to where Bobby stood, handing him a small peice of metal in the shape of a Woodmite's head. "Take this. It's the Termite Badge."
"Thank you." Bobby said, accepting the gift.
"I'd also like you to have these." Spencer added, reaching into his pocket and pulling out two disc-shaped objects. "This is the Hidden Machine Cut. It can be used to teach your Pokemon the Cut move, which can be used to Cut down trees or as a powerful move in battle." He handed the first disc over to Bobby. "And this is the Technical Machine, Fury Cutter. It is a powerful bug type move, but unlike the Cut Hidden Machine, this Technical Machine can only be used once."
"Thank you." Bobby said, accepting both discs from Spencer.
"Good luck on your journey." Spencer said as Bobby turned to join his group on the other side of the gym. "You will find your next badge in Hanaero Town, north of here, past Iwyark Cave."
"Thanks again!" Bobby shouted, waving as he exited the gym with the rest of the group.
"Alright!" Bobby exclaimed as the group walked toward the edge of town. "Let's go to Hanaero Town!"
