Raticate became a blur and slammed into the Poliwhirl faster than she could see, slamming the Tadpole into the wall where she fell over, unconscious.

"The winner is Ash from Pallet Town." Misty said giving a nod. "That's enough to where you can challenge me."

Austin gave a nod as Raticate used Quick Attack to jump from one pad to another before making it to him where he rubbed the top of her head. "You did amazing Raticate." He said earning a soft growl in response from her.

In the stands Brock looked relieved. "Well at least Raticate isn't giving him any trouble."

"Why would she?" Yellow asked with a smile. "Ash is a cool trainer."

Brock raised a brow at how Yellow said that before seeing Misty at the end of the field while Austin returned Raticate.

"You did well so far." Misty said as she had a Pokeball in her hand. "But your luck is about to run out."

"Bring it." Austin said pulling out another Pokeball.

"Misty calls Staryu!" Misty called out as she sent a brown starfish Pokemon with a red jewel out.

"Hiyah!" Staryu called out as it landed on one of the mats.

"In that case Pidgeotto take the field!" Austin said sending the bird out as Pidgeotto gave a cry before flying through the air.

"Do you think Misty can win?" Lily asked curiously.

Violet chuckled. "Like in her dreams maybe."

"Start things up with Twister!" Austin called out as Pidgeotto gave a cry of confirmation and began to flap her wings causing the strong wind as the water began to shake.

"Rapid Spin." Misty countered as Staryu jumped and spun right through the Twister much to Austin's surprise.

"Quick Attack to dodge." Austin said but Staryu smacked into Pidgeotto before she could dodge as Misty called out a Water Gun.

To counter that, Austin had Pidgeotto block with Steel Wing as the water was easily countered due to the glowing wings.

When Staryu stopped, Austin called out another Quick Attack allowing Pidgeotto to take off in a blur and slam into the Staryu. multiple times.

Misty had enough. "Water Pulse!"

"Fly up." Austin said in worry as he didn't want Pidgeotto to get confused, or injured.

But Pidgeotto was limited due to the battle being indoors as she was dodging Water Pulse after Water Pulse.

That was when Misty changed things up with a Swift as the barrage of stars shot out of Staryu's jewel and slammed into Pidgeotto, causing her to slam into one of the mats.

"Pidgeotto are you alright?!" Austin called out as Pidgeotto pushed herself up, not wanting to be defeated in another Gym Battle.

"Misty's not doing so bad." Violet commented from the sideline. "Nice job."

Lily gave a nod as she saw a white seal Pokemon clapping. "Like who are you cheering for."

"This is bad, Pidgeotto is limited in this fight and if he sends out Pikachu he'll be too tired for the next battle." Brock commented as he had a frown. "But Misty is also showing that she has what it takes to be a good Gym Leader when she can."

"Come on Ash!" Yellow called out. "You can win this."

Austin gained a determined look as Pidgeotto looked ready to continue as Staryu disappeared into the water. 'What to do-?'

Immediately Austin snapped out of his thoughts as he remembered.

 "Pidgeotto use Twister on the water!"

Pidgeotto gave a cry as she shot to the air and began to unleash her attack.

Misty looked confused by his tactics before she saw a whirlpool beginning to form from the attack. "Staryu get out of the water!"

But it was too late as the water began to swirl causing Staryu to be stuck right in the middle before he managed to shoot out of the water, allowing Pidgeotto to slam into him with a Quick Attack.

Staryu slammed into the wall and fell over, his jewel glowing red in defeat.

"Alright Pidgeotto!" Austin called out as the bird landed on his outstretched arm.

Pidgeotto looked exhausted but had her chest puffed proudly from winning a Gym Battle, showing how far she came from the Pewter Gym.

"You may have beaten Staryu but try for my next Pokemon." Misty said as she called out her second Pokemon. "Misty chooses Starmie."

It was just like Staryu, only a bit bigger, purple and had more arms/legs.

On seeing that, Austin returned Pidgeotto. "Nice job Pidgeotto." He said before looking at Pikachu. "You ready?"

"Chu!" Pikachu ran out on the field as his cheeks began to spark.

"Don't expect to win just because you have the advantage!" Misty called out before getting ready. "Psyshock!"

That caught Austin off guard but he reacted. "Counter-Shield."

Pikachu began using the Counter-Shield as Starmie's psychic attack slammed into it, barely stopping it before he tried to get the Starmie with some of the electricity.

"I've been waiting for that one." Misty said remembering the strategy. "Power Gem!"

Sparks shot out of the gem on Starmie as Pikachu dodged using Quick Attack before one slammed him into the air.

"Ion Tail!" Austin said as Pikachu's tail began to glow before the Electro-Ball formed the steel typing in the tail made the electricity more powerful before it slammed into Starmie, causing her to stagger.

"Starmie." Misty called out in worry.

"Now Thundershock!"

"Counter with Thunderbolt!" Misty ordered surprising everyone as Starmie began to use a stronger electric attack obliterating the Thundershock and slamming into Pikachu who cried out as his body began to absorb it.

"Pikachu!" Austin called out before Pikachu's eyes opened and he cried out as he returned the attack… With a Thunderbolt of his own.

' Starmie's Thunderbolt must've been enough to charge Pikachu up to where he could learn it. ' Austin thought remembering how Flint helped Pikachu learned Thunderbolt in the anime's timeline.

Giving a grin at that as Starmie looked ready to collapse, Austin gave the final order. "Electric Impact, but with Thunderbolt!"

"Chu!" Pikachu became a blur as the stronger electric attack covered him before slamming into Starmie as it fired a Power Gem causing an explosion that caused dust to fly everywhere.

As the dust settled both Pikachu and Starmie were out of it.

"It's a Double Knock-Out!" Daisy called. "And since the Challenger still has Pidgeotto the victory goes to him."

"Alright." Austin cheered as he ran out on the mats to pick up Pikachu while Misty returned Starmie. "Great job Pikachu."

"Chu." Pikachu had a smile as they got off the field for Yellow and Brock to run up.

"That was amazing, I didn't know Pikachu was that strong." Yellow said in awe as Pikachu hasn't really been tested that much before.

"And nice job on using Twister and the Counter-Shield." Brock complimented.

"Haha thanks." Austin said .

"You deserve this." Misty said giving Austin the Cascade Badge. "Hard to believe you're that kid I had to save from the Spearow flock."

"Thanks for that by the way." Austin said as Misty gave a nod. "So what do you plan on doing now?"

"Well I still have to wait until I can officially take over the Cerulean Gym, until then I plan on training and getting more Water Pokemon." Misty said as she looked at her sisters. "As long as some people keep on battling until then."

"You can relax Misty, we'll keep the Gym running for you." Daisy promised her.

Violet winked. "Yeah, you have to do something since we got the beauty."

"Hey!" Misty glared at them as Daisly gave an apologetic smile. "You keep that up and you'll be seeing stars."

"Misty be careful, you know that we care for you."

"Yeah." Misty said.

Austin gave a grin. "If you want you can travel with us."

Brock and Yellow gave Austin a look of surprise but they smiled at the idea.

"Wait, really?" Misty looked surprised at that.

"Yeah the more the merrier right?" Austin said with a smile. "What do you guys say?"

"I'm cool with it." Brock said with a nod.

"It'll be fun." Yellow added.

"Well, how can I say no." Misty said accepting the idea
