Lee was dashing toward the gym, Vincent hanging onto his shoulders for dear life. The bug pokemon just couldn't keep up with him when his trainer was running, but hanging onto him almost seemed like a worse idea. If this continued, maybe staying in his pokeball wasn't such a bad idea. "Venonat!" he cried as he was desperately trying to cling to his fast paced trainer's shoulders. He was pleading with his trainer to slow down.
Well, Lee finally did slow down. He only slowed down because now he found himself at the open field used for a gym. Lee noted the cottage at the end of the field. Perhaps the gym leader resided there? If not, maybe a groundskeeper or someone who would know where the gym leader was? Whoever lived there, Lee would go and find out. He approached the cottage, stopping infront of the door. He knocked as he called out to whoever may live there. "Hello? Is anyone home? Is this the gym leader's residence?" he kept asking as he knocked.

Hiroaki ran as fast as he could to keep up with the over-excited Lee while Brianna was holding on tightly to him. ~Maybe I could have called out Yori and ride his back, if he would let me, so I could keep up with Lee~ he thought to himself as he caught up to Lee and listen to him ask if this was the gym residence. Hiroaki hoped that Akira was able to keep up with them.

The door opened and a very sleepy Wendy came trudging out to meet her challenger. With a smile, she gestured towards the field.
"Comin in for a battle eh? Alright then, let's get started." She said, whistling to get the attention of her pokemon who fluttered in the trees, awaiting to be called.

Lee had just enough time to register that Hiroaki had made it over to him before the door to the cottage started to open. Lee jumped back with a start, his attention having been diverted elsewhere. He didn’t even have time to wonder if Akira was around as well. He turned his attention back to the sleepy woman that came through the door. She practically confirmed who she was. She was Wendy, the gym leader of Gustella Town.
She got right down to business pretty quick, but that was alright. Lee doubted he had the patience to wait any longer. He was excited to get his first gym battle started. He knew very little of this gym, or any others really. He felt like he lived under a rock until now. He did know, however, she used flying type and that he had two pokemon that’d be especially effective against them. Now he just had to think of a good strategy. He turned around and started to head back to the field, wondering if Akira had joined them yet. He didn’t see her, but maybe she was where he couldn’t see her or she just hadn’t made it yet.
He took his place on the field, glancing back to catch Hiroaki and his pokemon, Brianna, taking their places on the sidelines. He couldn’t hear much of what Hiroaki was saying, but Brianna seemed to be watching the field intently. Lee turned back around, waiting for Wendy to get settled. As he did so, he figured now would be the best time to call forth his first pokemon. He grabbed Maverick’s pokeball, remembering what his father said about how useful he’d be. Well, there was certainly type advantage. “Maverick, I choose you!” he shouted out as the Pikachu emerged on the field ready for battle.

With an approving gaze, Wendy stood back as a citizen of Gustella approached the field, bearing a flag in each hand.
"The battle between Gym Leader Wendy and Challenger Lee is about to begin. Both trainers may use three pokemon, but only the challenger is allowed to make substitutions. Begin the match." The judge said while Wendy winked at Lee.
"Farfetch'd, doll, please help me get things started." She asked as the pokemon in question flew over her, landing on the field in front.
"Farfetch'd!" It cried, tossing it's leek from side to side.
Farfetch'd: 23/23

Lee watched as Wendy called out her first pokemon. He reached for his pokedex. "A Farfetch'd, huh?" Lee turned his attention to Pikachu and gave a quick nod. Looked like he had the first turn. "Maverick, use Thundershock on that Farfetch'd!" The Pikachu charged forward at the Farfetch'd, gathering electricity as it did so. When he felt he was close enough, Maverick unleashed Thundershock on Farfetch'd.
[RESULT: 1] +1
Maverick: 28/28
Farfetch'd: 0/23

Wendy blinked as her Farfetch'd warbled in it's daze. With a sigh, Wendy recalled it into a pokeball on her belt and gave the trainer a small smile.
"Not bad. Tranquill, yer up with Aerial Ace!" She called. The grayish pigeon pokemon rushed forward from the trees and charged at the Pikachu with fire in its eyes.
[RESULT: 1] -0
Maverick: 28/28
Tranquill: 26/26

Lee was amazed that the attack took the Farfetch'd down so quickly. Even the gym leader seemed surprised by it. But that surprise didn't last long. Lee could see the distinction between a veteren like her, and a fresh trainer like himself. He was still trying to wrap his head around how fast the first round went and yet she had already called forth her second pokemon.
Thankfully Maverick was more ready than his trainer and reacted quickly, managing to toughen out the Aerial Ace with no damage. Lee quickly snapped back to reality. Duh. Gym battle going on. I need to get my head back in the game. Where did Dad find this Pikachu anyway? He gave his head a quick shake and shouted another command at Maverick. "Maverick, Thundershock again!"
Well it worked once, why not again? Pikachu was ready, unleashing yet another Thunderhsock, this time on the Tranquill.
[RESULT: 5]+1
The Thundershock hit it's mark yet again and Maverick was looking unstoppable. Lee had to wonder if they could keep this up.
Maverick: 28/28
Tranquil: 0/26

Recalling her second pokemon into another pokeball, Wendy looked somewhat intrigued by the newcomer and his pikachu, smirking at the two.
"Hope you enjoyed your little warm up. Time to meet my last, and best, pokemon. Come to me, Cici! Show them what the Gustella Gym is all about with Dark Pulse!" She commanded. From the trees behind her, a large black pokemon rushed towards the field, stopping just after it got in front of it's trainer.
"Honchkrow!" She cried, a dark purple wraith forming in her beak. Throwing her head back, she thrusted her face forward, unleashing a beam of spiraling black and purple energy at the pikachu.
[RESULT: 8]
Maverick: 20/28
Cici: 30/30

Dark Pulse hit it's mark and Maverick was caught completely offguard. "Pika!" he screamed out as he was hit. He quickly darted around the field to face his foe. This Honchkrow wasn't like the others. Boy could he put up a fight. Lee's eyes grew wide when he saw how hard his Pikachu was hit with just one attack.
"Alright Maverick. Hit back with Thundershock!"
[RESULT: 3]+1
Maverick mustered as much as he could for the attack and hit Honchkrow, but it wasn't as devastating as his last two times.
Maverick: 20/28
Honchkrow: 26/30

Cici shook off the attack with a sharp flap of her wings, staring down the pikachu with a cocky glare.
"Honchkrow!" That the best you got hon? She teased while her trainer raised a hand.
"Dark pulse again!" She commanded. Cici prepped another dark pulse and blasted the purple and black beam down at her opponent.
[RESULT: 7]
Maverick: 13/28
Honchkrow: 26/30

Maverick practically growled at the Honchkrow for taunting it. Was that all he had? He had much more than that! But Maverick was hit dead on by another Dark Pulse, which only set more frustration in. Maverick needed a big hit on that HonchKrow. "Come on, Thundershock again!" Lee called out. Maverick complied.
[RESULT: 6]+1
"Pika!" Maverick exclaimed as the attack hit dead on, practically saying Take that!
Maverick: 13/28
Honchkrow: 19/30

Though she faltered in the air, Cici kept beating her wings, awaiting a command.
"Dark Pulse once more!" Wendy commanded. The honchkrow smirked, her trainer's style was dead on, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And so she prepared another dark pulse, firing the blast at Pikachu.
[RESULT: 6]
Maverick: 7/28
Honchkrow: 19/30

Maverick flinched as he took yet another Dark Pulse. Both humans seemed to have similiar styles. Lee knew Thundershock was the most effective and was going to continue using it against the flying type. Likewise, Dark Pulse was doing it's number on Maverick. This battle was back and forth, but unfortunantly Maverick was more worse for ware than his opponent. Still, Maverick was content enough knowing how well he had been doing so far.
He was still in this fight and he wasn't going to count himself out yet. "Thundershock again!" Lee shouted out and Maverick nodded his head and went for the attack yet again.
[RESULT: 9]+1
Determined, Maverick unleashed his most powerful Thundershock yet. The Honchkrow had to feel that one!
Maverick: 7/28
Honchkrow: 9/30

The attack forced Cici to be grounded, but the Honchkrow was not going to give up so easily.
"Dark Pulse one more time!" Wendy called. Tilting her head back, Cici whipped her head ofrward to let loose a massive attack.
[RESULT: 0]
Maverick: 7/28
Honchkrow: 9/30
