Y/N stood in front of the door of Pewter City's gym. Y/N took a deep breath as he prepared for the first step to his destiny.

Pikachu: "Pika!" Pikachu tapped Y/N's head to snapped him out though.

Y/N: "I'm going! Are here goes nothing!" Y/N enter the Pokémon Gym and as he walked inside he realized it didn't look like a gym at all. It looks like an entire world, someone's else idea world. The area was surrounded by boulders the area looked like a cave. "What in the
world."

????: "Hiya! I can tell you have what it takes to become a Pokémon champ! I'm no trainer, but I can tell you how to win! Let me take you to the top!" Y/N look back at Pikachu then back at him.

Y/N: "Sure," Y/N nodded his head as he shook his hand. As the man was about to reach his hand Y/N quickly back his hand away. "You seem like you work here how can I trust you!"

????: "Well you're right about that this its work, but helping you is the job you see. I'm a gym guide but you can call me Jim Gai!"

Y/N: "Oh! Sorry about that I'm really a caring person." Y/N shook Jim Gai's hand. "Well let's make it happen."

Jim Gai: "All right! Let's get happening!" Jim guy notices Y/N's Pikachu on his shoulder and shook his head left in right frantically. "It will be tough for your Pikachu at this Gym! Electric attacks are harmless to Brock's ground type Pokémon.

Y/N: "So you're telling me I can't use Pikachu for the moment it matters the most!"

Pikachu: "Pika?!"

Jim Gai: "I didn't stay you couldn't battle with Pikachu it's just you won't be able to use Pikachu's electric attacks. If it's hard to understand the situation your in why don't you face off against that trainer over there." Jim Gai pointed to a trainer inside the gym.

Y/N: "That's the Gym leader?"

Jim Gai: "Hmm yeah I think he is, he looks easy huh!" Jim Gai said sarcastically joking. "Nah, Nope That Guy is just a Gym trainer."

Y/N: "A Gym trainer?"

Jim Gai: "Yeah they might not be official class trainers, but they are trainers that are devotee or apprentice to the gym leader. They followed the same type of theme as the leader does. Well, you don't have to face the gym trainer..."

Y/N: "Meaning I can probably get a field of what I'm working against before the big fight. Now you earned my trust sir!"

Jim Gai: "Hmm,..., What can I say I love to witness the rise of the future champ."

Y/N walked up to the center and proceeded to the gym trainer.

The gym trainer locked eyes on Y/N as if he captured him.

Gym Trainer: "Stop right there, kid!"

Y/N: "Why are you flipping out as if I was tryna to avoid you! Just pulled out your balls already!"

Gym trainer: "Uhh, What!"

Jim Gai: "Hmm, It seems he's the real deal just like those boys Red and Blue. Most trainers would just walk around the gym trainer even after I told them to battle the kid. But not these boy's no they face the gym trainers to get something out of it. The cocky one did it to show off and polish his skills, the silent boy literally did it for the wild experience. But this one doing it to experiment on an outcome of events he's the one who actually took my advice literally and learned the true meaning behind it without me official telling him. Hmm, this generation it's gonna be really interesting this year let's see if his name will be on here too. Jim Gai took a look at the statue that had Red and Blue's name below it printing their victory.

Gym Trainer: "That's some confidence you got them but you're still light years from facing Brock! Go Diglett!" The gym boy threw his Pokèball into the air and the white light that summons The Pokémon went directly into a hole in the ground.

Y/N: "Huh?"

Then a head rose up of beady black eyes and a large, round, pink nose tiny brown Pokémon leaving its head visible only. Y/N check his Pokédex scanned the incomplete info of Diglett.

Y/N: "Too bad I have to catch a Pokémon to get its info. I guess that would be cheating and too easy for anyone to just simply do it that way. Alright, Pikachu! Go at it but be careful its body it's underground!"

Pikachu: "Pikachu!"

Y/N was really worried what kind of Pokémon strategy with its body under the ground like that. The only way he can find out it's if he just battled.

Y/N: "Okay let's see how bad this is. Pikachu use Thundershock!"

Pikachu: "Pika?" Pikachu looks back at Y/N after what they heard should they really be doing its thundershock.

Y/N: "Trust me Pikachu."

Pikachu: "Pika!" Pikachu nods at Y/N putting its faith in him. Pikachu charged up a little spark and lashed out its electric attack at Diglett.

Gym trainer: "wow seriously what a noob! Don't even bother to dodge it Diglett. Diglett stood still as the electric flow through its body which didn't harm Diglett at all.

Y/N: "So that's what it looked like when electric attacks it's struck to ground types. Hmph, what a shame."

Pikachu: "Pika! Pika!" Pikachu got mad taunting Y/N.

Y/N: "Clam down I'll be fine just focus!" Pikachu sigh and look back saw Diglett nowhere nearby. Then suddenly Diglett rose its head up from the ground using dig. It was super effective making Pikachu fly back. "Pikachu!" Y/N realized this is what it felt for a type disadvantage and he didn't like these odds at all. He can't see how Blue was okay with fighting Pikachu with his Squirtle.

But what bothers him the most was how Diglett fights there was just so much mysteries behind it. It was just it's freaking head rising up and down doing arsenal types of attacks. Y/N stay quiet thinking of a plan while Pikachu dodge mud shot, and dig. Then brain blasted Y/N had an idea but he had to test it out first.

Y/N: "Pikachu! just wait." Pikachu looks back aggravated. "I promise this isn't a test." Pikachu, nod and stood still as command.

Gym trainer: "Giving up a Diglett dig." Diglett head went down as it prepared to strike Pikachu from below. As the ground began to crack below to smash Pikachu for a K.O. Y/N eyes widen.

Y/N: "Now Pikachu runs up that bolder with quick attack." Pikachu response with action lunching towards the boulder. Pikachu bounced off the boulder using it as leverage into the air Diglett rosed from the ground.

Diglett: "DIGLETT!!"

Gym trainer: "Diglett Noooo!"

Diglett: "Dig?"

Pikachu: "Pika!" Pikachu lunch down towards Diglett's head with full force causing a critical hit. Diglett.

Diglett: "Lett!" Diglett cried out squinting its eyes over the pain.

"Pik, Pika, Pika..." Pikachu cried out holding its head and feeling a little dizzy after their heads collide.

Diglett: "Diglett!" Quickly snapped out of it smacking Pikachu back.

Gym trainer: "Nice hanging in there alright Diglett lets do this! Diglett use mud shot!" Diglett lunch mud balls at fast speed. Pikachu took cover behind the boulders. "Now dig!" Diglett went under to surprise Pikachu but when it went behind the boulder Pikachu wasn't "This trick isn't working again prepared for Pikachu to come above. there it looked above to see if Pikachu was in the air and it quickly went back down. Diglett didn't see anything and as it rosed it's head Pikachu struck em by the side with quick attack causing it to faint.

Y/N: "Nice work Pikachu."

Gym trainer wrapped Diglett back into its Pokèball.

Gym trainer: "It's okay Diglett I won't let it go in vain. Go Sandshrew!" The gym trainer sent out his final Pokémon that had a tough, dry brick-patterned yellow hide with almond-shaped blue eyes, a pointed snout with triangular ears.

Sandshrew: "Sandshrew!"

Y/N: "Pikachu stand back!" Pikachu ran towards Y/N and got next to him as he summoned Pidgey. The battle went on as Pidgey was defeated then was Mankey with Pikachu jumping back in to finish the job.

Gym trainer: "Darn! Light years isn't time it measures distance!" Gym trainer sent back Sandshrew. You're pretty hot, but not as hot as Brock!" Y/N clenched his fist at his victory this he finally seen the balance and the problem. His Pokémon had raw strength and spirit but no efficiency advantages to win.

Y/N: "Nah not like this..."

Jim Gai: "Not bad kid! not bad!" Jim Gai walked up to Y/N placing his arm around his shoulder where Pikachu usually lays on. Are you ready to face the man himself? From above he stood in a complete statute pose. He had brown hair, closed black eyes and was shirtless. His didn't move one bit, he was the definition of a rock. But his presence gave Y/N chills down his spine.

????: "Nice battle you had there but are you ready for the real deal!

Y/N: "So you're the leader!"

????: "Indeed I am the names Brock, I'm Brock! I'm Pewter's Gym Leader! I believe in hard defense and determination! That's why my Pokémon are all the rock-type! Do you still want to challenge me?

Y/N: "I see, I'm sorry to say this but I'm not ready just wait for a sec it won't take long but I wanna do a little training then I'll be."

Brock: "I see well I'll be waiting."

Y/N walked out of the gym and healed his Pokémon at The Pokémon Center once again.

Nurse Joy: "Thank you! Your Pokémon is fighting fit! We hope to see you again!"

Y/N: "........thanks."

Nurse Joy: "what's wrong."

Y/N: "I'm stuck in a gap of a disadvantage and I'm haven't come up with a clue. I can't just go through this situation with just Pikachu." Pikachu burst out its Pokèball after being healed and back onto Y/N's shoulder.

Nurse Joy: "Well figuring out challenges with your Pokémon is the true essences of being trainer.

Y/N: "True essence wow that's an interesting analogy Nurse Joy. Wow just like Viridian's Nurse Joy you know a great bit of knowledge.

Nurse Joy: "Oh not me, I just heard that from someone else.

Y/N: "Someone else?"

Nurse Joy: "Yes I've heard it from Pewter gym leader Brock."

Y/N: "Oh I see Brock is a very amazing guy."

Nurse Joy: "Yeah I guess for a gym leader he seems kinda weird he's facing is always red and laughing when he approached me.

Y/N: "Hmph that's weird."

The Guy who also was waiting to get his Pokémon heal but in the conversation.

Guy: "Brock isn't weird! There aren't many serious Pokémon trainers here! They're all like bug catcher's but Pewter gym's Brock is totally into it!"

Nurse Joy: "But anyway the idea isn't just implied to Pikachu.

Y/N: "Not that I didn't notice it already no one on my team has a type advantage on rock types and especially ground types..."

Y/N look closely at the other five Pokèballs and his eyes widened as he looks closer to Mankey and Caterpie.

Nurse Joy: "Well..."

Y/N: "Thanks Nurses Joy I have a plan."

Y/N had no patience to put the plan to action and headed straight for training.

Brock POV
_____________________________

Brock and others that work in the gym were refreshing up.

Gym trainer: "Hmph, I'm glad that dumb oh kid came to his senses. No one can beat Brock."

Gym Gai: "I don't know about that kid he did beat you with a Pikachu."

Gym trainer: "Hmm he got lucky I almost had him! Here you go, Brock, you're Geodude and Sandshrew." Gym trainer handed two Pokèballs containing Brock's Pokémon. Brock handed his Sandshrew back.

Brock: "Get me Onix."

Gym trainer: "....I'm sorry I didn't hear you correctly..."

Brock: "Bring me Onix."

Gym trainer: "...O.., Oni...ONIX!? But sir Brock I don't think is necessary to use such a powerful Pokémon on a trainer who doesn't even have a gym badge.

Jim Gai: "Well, well, well, I think you have seen it too."

Brock: "Indeed I have, that's no ordinary boy and that's certainly no ordinary Pikachu. Those two their...."

Gym trainer: "What! What!"

Brock's face turned red as he began to scratch the back of its head

Brock: "Hmm if you look at that I think I have forgotten something at The Pokémon Center I guess I should just take a little break...."

Gym trainer: "Really that's funny you say that giving you haven't visited The Pokémon Center today!"

Brock: "Oh right! Then my head hurts I think I should go get nurse back to health by Nurse Joy."

Jim Gai: "That's funny you say that because Pokémon Center's are for Pokémon. Jim Gai said sarcastically."

Brock: "Sigh....well I tried." Brock started thinking to himself "Y/N for the first time ever I'm actually feeling pretty impatient about starting our battle and that gives me goosebumps." Brock looked back at the others. "Do you guys want a break we should all take a break."

Gym trainer: "Nice try Brock but we already had a lunch after that boy left."

Brock: "Well it was worth a shot..."
