Episode 16: Winning Takes Determination!
--Zack and Lauren had checked into the Pokemon Centre that night. Now it was morning, and Zack was excited as ever about his battle at the Dewford Gym.--
"Thank you for staying with us at Pokemon Centre! We hope to see you again," said the girl at the check in counter. Lauren and I had just checked out. Now we were on our way to the Dewford Gym to battle the gym leader, whom I did not know the name of. "What Pokemon do you think I should use, Lauren?" "I'd say Makuhita because you'll have to strengthen it up so it'll be as strong as your other Pokemon," said a tired Lauren. She yawned.
"Right," I agreed, "Makuhita it is."
______________________________________________
It took us a while, but we got to the gym. As soon as we walked inside, Lauren and I immediately saw it. There was a rocky maze lengthening our walk to the gym leader. Lauren gaped at it as did I. We were bother tired, and now our walk was just made longer. "Better get started!" I grinned.
The maze turned out to be pretty easy and short. The gym leader spotted us. "I am Brawly, gym leader of Dewford Gym! I take it your here for a battle?" Brawly asked Lauren curiously and excitedly. "No, but he is." Lauren pointed over at me. "Okay," he nodded his head disappointedly. "And your name is?" Brawly toughly asked, trying to make up for his unmissable mistake. "Its Zack," I said making him look even more idiotic. Its too bad no one was there to laugh or record at his mistake. It was just me, Lauren, and him.
Brawly and I walked onto our own side of the battlefield. "Is a 1-on-1 battle okay with you Zack?" "Yep," I replied impatiently. There was no judge. And Brawly looked clueless about how to judge a Pokemon Battle. Even I knew the basics! "Begin!" cried Brawly. "I choose you, Makuhita!" I called out. "That's quite a coincidence," announced Brawly, "because that's the Pokemon I'm using too!" "Oh, snap," Lauren muttered and slapped her forehead. Out popped another Makuhita, and the battle began.
"Focus punch!" We called together.
Our Pokemon immediately started throwing fists at each other. It was non-stop. "Makuhita?" I called out to Makuhita, hoping he would get out Brawly's Makuhita's punching. And it worked!
"Karate chop that other thing down to size!" I told my Makuhita.
"Get out of the way and and slam it!" Brawly ordered.
Brawly's Pokemon took down mine. Get up, get up!- I thought. My Makuhita managed to survive. Instantly it got up and threw a super-fast punch at the foe Makuhita, knocking it out. It was down for the proper amount of time until it lost.
"YES!! I won!" Brawly walked up and handed me the badge. "Congrats," he sulked. Brawly then escorted Lauren, Makuhita and I out of the gym.
______________________________________________
"You know," Brawly said, "that Makuhita was really something out there." "Yeah?" I replied, trying to figure out what he was getting at. "Makuhita would really level up and get a good work out at this gym. I'd like to take Makuhita off your hands. "Umm, okay. But let's see what Makuhita thinks. Makuhita?" I asked. "Makuhita!! Makuhita!!" the Pokemon agreed.

Lauren and I said our good-byes to Makuhita, and Makuhita waved back as we headed our separate ways.
♪In the morning when you wake up
Open your eyes to a new day
Look around at the gifts you've got
You've been so lucky along the way!
Time to finish what you've begun
Have the faith, you're the one
Throw your hat high, up to the sun!
Now you face the greatest test
Use the lessons that you've learned
Your goal is to be the best
And claim the prize that you've earned!♪
"I think Makuhita will do well with its new owner," Lauren cheered me up. "Me too," I sniffled.
♪It's your destiny
To spread your wings and fly
You can do it if you really try!
You can do it if you really try!
Spread your wings and learn to fly
You can do it if you really, really try!♪
--Zack and Lauren continued off into Dewford Town toward the beach, while they knew Makuhita would have a good life. As did Makuhita knew Zack would have a good journey in Hoenn.--
