"Sounds good to me. Now how about we start our battle?" Brock said.

"Sounds good to me. You've got the first move." the Pallet native replied.

"Ok then, Rhyperior use Thunderbolt!" Brock called out to his pokemon.

"Rhy rhyperior!" he bellowed out as yellow electricity crackled over his body gathering at his horn then launching it at Feraligator.

"Quick Feraligator use Ancient Power to block then hit him with Aqua Jet!" Ash called out. The stones from the attack collided with the electricity causing a small explosion and smoke to fill the air. Feraligator burst through the smoke covered in water slamming hard into the drill pokemon's chest making him roar in pain.

"Rhyperior no!" Brock called out. "Are you ok bud?" Rhyperior nodded in response and fired off a Focus Blast catching Feraligator off guard and hitting the side of his head knocking him off balance. "Now quick Rhyperior get in close and use "Thunder Fang." The rock and ground type took off and latched onto the big jaw pokemon's arm causing significant damage.

"No Feraligator!" Ash called out with worry in his voice. "Use Counter Shield then multiple Ice Punches." The blue scaled pokemon roared as water erupted around him as he began to spin on his back throwing Rhyperior onto his back. When the rock type landed, Feraligator launched himself into the air using Aqua Tail and as he fell towards the downed pokemon his fist took on an icy color. His fist struck down again and again, after landing multiple hits he jumped back revealing Rhyperior with swirls in his eyes.

"Rhyperior is unable to battle. Gym Leader please send out your next pokemon." Forest called form the referee box.

"Thank you bud you did very well get some rest." Brock said returning his pokemon. "Now Golem its your turn." The megaton pokemon landed causing the ground to shake slightly.

Ash could see Feraligator had taken a fair amount of damage from the battle called out, "Are you ok to go on?" Feraligator gave a small nod and launched a Water Guntowards the round pokemon. He knew that he was tired but refused to give in.

"Golem use Steamroller to deflect the water then hit him with Hyper Beam." Ash waited until the right moment and called his counter attack

"Feraligator use Hydro Pump." The big jaw pokemon roared and released a large column of water that collided with Hyper Beam. the two attacks were at a stall for a moment until Hyper Beam cut through the water striking Feraligator hard knocking him out in the process.

"Feraligator is unable to battle. Challenger please choose your next pokemon."

"I'm so proud of you buddy, thank you for all your hard work now take a good rest." Ash smiled at his friend impressed at how strong he'd gotten. "Now Kingler I choose you." The pincer pokemon materialized from the light clicking its claws ready for battle. "Ok Kingler lets end this one quick use Surf and ride it then us Crabhammer!" Ash called out as a wave of water appeared picking up Kingler carrying him towards Golem, the wave crashed in to the megaton pokemon Kingler's glowing claw slam into Golem knocking him out of the arena and the battle at the same time. Brock looked at his knocked out pokemon with shock, he knew Kingler was strong but he didn't expect that much power.

"Wow Ash that was awesome, there was so much power in those attacks." Brock praised his friend.

"Thank you Brock that means a lot." Ash smiled and rubbed the back of his head at the praise.

"Ok then lets keep this going, Blissey you're up next." Brock called out as the happiness pokemon to the field. "I know this a rock type gym but sometimes you've gotta keep trainers on their toes."
