Pidgeotto looked around as the sand filled the area. The Pokemon
then used a gust blowing the sand away, but Cyndaquil was nowhere
to be seen. "Where did he go!" Falkner said in shock Pidgeotto
looked confused as he tried to find the Pokemon. Tiger then
laughed.
"Cyndaquil aerial ace" Tiger ordered. The Pokemon had managed to
climb onto a pillar behind Pidgeotto and was still hiding in the
darkness. He then jumped down and used an aerial ace.
"Watch out!" Falkner said in shock, but Pidgeotto was hit. The
Pokemon then fainted from the force of the move.
Flare turned to Mel, his eyes glowing red. "Dare to try." He
growled menacingly.
Victor glanced at Flare, and then went ahead of the others with a
very slight smile on his face. Volt followed, preferring to keep
away from his Charmeleon friend.
"Mel, could you take out a kazoo just before I Battle Falkner? I'd
like Flare to get a power boost during battle. The power of anger
would pretty much kill any opponents. Thanks." Victor said to Mel
when Flare was at a safe enough distance, with an evil smile of his
own.
"Yeah, I guess." Mel said, reaching into her backpack. "If this
kill me I'm suing you." She shouted. "TAKE IT." She yelled, playing
a few sounds before flinging it at Flare.
Flare looked at the Kazoo and stomped in anger. His Blaze ability
activated, and the size of his tail flame increased drastically,
and the colour of the flame changed from red to white.
"Flare, save this for the gym battle!" Victor shouted, and recalled
Flare to his Pokeball to conserve the holy power of Kazoo.
"Woah... I think Flare's ability is 'Holy Power Of Kazoo' instead
of Blaze. I'll have to check that with Oak." He giggled nervously.
He felt sorry for Falkner since it was the gym leader who had to
face Flare in all his anger.
Victor now entered the gym, and looked at Tiger's gym battle.
Shine and Star returned in their Pokeballs since they weren’t
feeling like watching. Houndour and Blaze were trying to socialise,
but not with much success, since Houndour's personality resembled
that of some maniac retired from the military.
Cyndaquil ran back to Tiger, and Falkner returned his final
Pokemon. He then went over to the boy "congrats on winning the
battle. Here's your badge" he said kindly. Tiger nodded and
accepted the badge.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Roy shouted, standing in the doorway of the
Gym. "Y-you know what?! Fine. I'm going to Goldenrod after this.
I'll stay for the battle, then I'll leave. Good luck, Victor," he
said, twirling an important looking kazoo around.
