Ash Ketchumfrom Pallet TownBGM: Pokémon GYM Theme [Orchestra/Remix]
It felt like he was stuck in that well for years, and he forgot what the sun felt like. Ash's eyes wasn't used to the sunlight for a short while. Also, his clothes were dirty from being down there, so he had to change at the Pokemon Center. Well, his Pokemon are all healed up, he switched up his roster, and now he's arriving at the Azelea Town Gym...which looks like a greenhouse. Ash learned that the gym leader uses bug types, and boy he wished he trained his other Pokemon more. There just had to be a way to train his other Pokemon while he's doing the same with the ones he has on him.
Maybe that battle against Team Rocket made him doubting his Pokemon a bit. He'll train them when he gets the chance. But right now, he's been in this town for too long, so it's time to get the badge. "Man, it's about time we arrived here, Pikachu."
"Piii..." No kidding. He too felt like they been in that well for so long. But it was worth freeing those Slowpoke, and he's sure Ash is pleased to have captured a Totodile.
Entering the gym, Ash found himself in...well, what he thought was an indoor forest. It reminds him of that garden place in Pallet Town where his mother goes to. Only this one had a Poke-Battle field in the middle of the forest. "Heeeey! Anyone here? I'm here to challenge the gym leader!" Ash called.

The inside of the large dome-like structure housed several types of trees that were known to be beneficial to a host of bug type Pokemon. Large cocoons decorated the trees and webs were strung from the branches of the mighty oaks and impressive pines. Some of the inhabitants buzzed up in the air above, hovering about until they noticed the black-haired young lad enter the GYM and call out from the front door. The secretary stood near the entrance off to the side with two large weeping willowing draped over his desk. He wanted to shout at the new trainer who seemed to introduce himself ignorantly as he stepped inside of the GYM, but kept his cool. I’ll just file another complaint with Bugsy about why it would be beneficial if he didn’t let these large trees drape over my workstation... The secretary hummed and supposed quietly in his head as he pushed himself up and walked over to Ash Ketchum. “Hello, young man...I know you couldn’t tell is what with the forest in here and all but you need to officially register over here...” He would escort Ash over to his desk to take his license and enter it into the database, “And, of course, register the Pokemon you’ll be facing Bugsy with...” The secretary continued and helped him register his team. Then he would pick up an older-styled cellphone and page Bugsy at once, giving him the details about his new contender. After a several minutes, the purple haired lad would walk out of the forested region over to Ash Ketchum. He wore short green shorts with a matching green shirt and a bright yellow tie wrapped around his neck. Bugsy held a large bug catching net in one hand and extended his free hand out towards Ash in a greeting as he offered to shake his hand. “Hiya there, how’ya doin’? Name’s Bugsy and I’m a Bug Type GYM Leader. You’re here for a GYM battle, is that right?” Bugsy asked the black-haired trainer accompanied by his electric rodent and waited patiently to give him enough time to agree. Then Bugsy would continue and escort Ash over to the battlefield as he spoke. “Perfect. My bug Pokemon love a good battler. My secretary informed me that you already beat Falkner’s birds, huh? The rules are simple this will be a one-on-one match. The trainer may switch out his Pokemon among the registered Pokemon whenever they like during the battle, but I’ll be facing you with three of my trusty bug Pokemon. The match won’t end until all the Pokemon of either the trainer or the GYM Leader are completely unable to battle. Are you ready Ash?” He asked and walked over to his side of the arena as he pulled out a Pokeball and tossed it up into the air as a small, green bug Pokemon appeared in front of the battlefield. “I’ll start off with my Metapod. She may be a cocoon but don’t let Metapod fool you. She’s a pretty tough Pokemon.” He smirked. Bugsy accepts Ash's Challenge and send out Metapod [Level 18]! Who will Ash choose to battle with first?

Ash Ketchumfrom Pallet TownBGM: Battle! Johto Gym Leader : Remastered ► Pokémon Heart Gold & Soul Silver
"Uhhh..." Some guy just came out of nowhere and took his Pokedex without asking to register it. He wanted to bark at him, but it looks he works here, so all he can do is grumble, "...thanks." And he took back his Pokedex. Soon, he was led into the field in the middle of the greenhouse forest, where he found some...boy or girl...? Well, the voice sounds like a boy. Anyways, he was greeted by the bug catcher boy. "Yup! I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, and I challenge you to a gym battle!"
Hopping over to his side of the field, Ash then noticed Bugsy using a Metapod...a rather...strange choice. Huh. He remembered having that Pokemon before it ev---no wait, he caught a Butterfree. He didn't evolve it. Frankly, he rather he did, for it's more...rewarding by raising a little Caterpie. Catching it as a Butterfree already didn't feel right, but hey, it's still a great Pokemon. Anyways, normally he tries not to use super-effective Pokemon, but...well, he doesn't have much Pokemon that would give a descent amount of damage, but hey, this little guy needs the training.
"Alright, you're on! Cyndaquil, I choose you!!" And he tossed the Pokeball onto the field...
BON!!
And out came the little fire shrew moving his joints around to get ready for the battle. It has been a short while since he was used for battle, so he's not going to take this opportunity for granted. "Quil!!"
"Alright, now. Use Ember!!"

The purple-haired lad thought he caught a certain look in Ash’s eyes and raised an eyebrow. Though, Bugsy couldn’t be so sure but he had known a lot of trainers who didn’t quite understand the power that his Pokemon could punch. Even with his warning, sometimes you had to demonstrate the power that your Pokemon packed behind their seemingly disarming appearance. “A fire type Pokemon, huh? Not a bad choice.” Bugsy added with a smile and leaned carefully against his own bug-catching net as he propped it up on the ground. “At the pre-evolved stage of Metapod, we used to believe that they could only harden. It’s true that Metapod normally lay motionless in their shells as they wait for their final evolution, but they can be surprisingly agile when they need to move.” Bugsy smiled. He was a walking encyclopedia on bug Pokemon and loved learning as much as he possibly could about them. He also found his own research to be invaluable to truly understanding his own Pokemon better and helping them battle more strategically against his opponents. “And their shells are so tough that they can withstand a Pikipek attack without cracking! Metapod, use Electroweb.” The nearly perfectly motionless green cocoon rolled its eyes backwards to observe its trainer and wiggled in place as it cooed, “Pooodd!” with a determined look. Cyndaquil moved fast, racing into the perfect spot on the battlefield up unleash a powerful blast of fire that singed a good portion of the Metapod’s shell. The green cocoon shook itself and narrowed its eyes determinedly on its opponent as it created an electrified web in thin air and shot it at the Cyndaquil and causing the blue echidna to become a bit more sluggish in its movements. “Though if you know the right moves, you don’t need to move too much to use them!” Bugsy’s face beamed as he added the last bit of info about the move.

Ash Ketchumfrom Pallet Town
Once again, Ash wished he caught Butterfree while it was a Caterpie. To actually see it evolve before his eyes probably would be amazing to watch, especially since you're the one who raised it to evolve it like that. This guy is so lucky to be able to witness that once his Metapod evolves, and...oh wait, he's still in battle as he noticed his Cyndaquil taking a hit under an electric net. "Cyndaquil, are you okay?"
"Quil!!" the little shrew chirped, trying to shake off the stinging sensation on his body. It hurts but he can totally fight through the pain. This is nothing compared to the anger and humiliation he felt from those cheating monks in the Bellsprout Tower. Aren't they suppose to be all zen from cheating and stuff? Well, that's in the past, and he's going to be stronger than they ever hope to be.
"Alright!" Smirking at his opponent, "Man, I would love to see a Metapod evolve into a Butterfree! That's probably gonna be so awesome for you once it evolves." But enough admiring his opponent's Pokemon, which not doing so is going to be hard to do. He has a gym badge to win. "Alright, Cyndaquil! One more Ember for the win!!"

The shaggy haired bug catcher couldn't stand still hearing the challenger's interest in watching a bug evolve. "It's amazing!" he burst forth, hands flying into the air and spreading above his head. "Wings fold out of the cocoon in a dazzling light, flopping open once the newly formed butterfree breaks free of the shell." He let the imagery hold a moment before turning his excitement back onto Ash from the ceiling of the thinly forested gymnasium. "If you really want to see, spring around the National Park in Goldenrod tends to have quite a lot of wonderful bug activity. The most likely time, other than autumn, to see a transformation. As well as hatchings!" he added the last bit in a gleeful shout. It may have looked like Bugsy was neglecting his prized metapod, but the cocoon pokémon knew what she needed to do already. With that last ember's blister roughly imprinted upon her otherwise shiny green shell it was obvious she wouldn't be able to handle another one. But that didn't discourage her from attempting to gain a bit of ground. A sticky string slipped out from the tip of the immobile being and launched Metapod a suddenly a few feet to the side. She attempted to make use of this new angle before Cyndaquil could react fully, sending forth another spitting of electrified webbing over top the fiery mouse. It wasn't as successful as she'd hoped. The plume of fire billowing from the backside of her opponent was a tough defensive barrier to get through. His flames licking away any prime sticky positions the web could fall upon, Cyndaquil managed to pull through the stinging string with nothing much more than further impacted maneuverability. With a simple puff, he sent a second array of encircling flames toward Metapod and rendered the gym pokémon unconscious. "Well done Metapod," Bugsy chirped, swiftly recalling his fainted combatant. "Would have been quite a feat to get through all that fire. But it looks like you did quite well to wear 'em out."The young gym leader compressed the device and slipped it onto his belt, lifting another of the three balls in his possession in its place. "Now it's time to meet another amazing bug." The gym leader grinned ear to ear before extending his arm and releasing the contents of the pokéball. What emerged was as green as the bug before, but much larger and sharper. "SCYY" she called out whilst stretching her bladed arms to scrape against one another. GYM Battle: Bugsy Weather: Clear [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Metapod ♀ LV 18 HP 0% [0/51]
[attr="class","qkt-wild-imgbox"] [attr="class","qkt-pkmn-img"] [attr="class","qkt-trainer-pkmn"] Cyndaquil ♂ LV 13 HP 49% [18/37]

KO! Cyndaquil grew to LV 16 and gained +1 Happiness! (+2) WHAT'S THIS!?! Cyndaquil is trying to evolve; allow it? Bugsy is sending out Scyther (Lv 21)! Will Ash change pokémon?

But of course Ash Ketchumfrom Pallet Town
Ash beamed at Bugsy's explanation of a cocoon Pokemon's evolution. Truly something he had to behold before his eyes. He had to get to Goldenrod to try it himself, but...wasn't he there before? He couldn't remember, for it felt like a forever ago since he caught Butterfree. Yeah, maybe he'll-
And that was when his Cyndaquil roared with a squeak, its body beaming bright. Its body bulked a little, growing in size.
"Wah! You're evolving?!" Ash gasped, watching the sight of evolution take fold before his eyes. After the Cyndaquil finished its growth and growled in a rougher tone, Ash checked it with his Pokedex. QuilavaSpecies: Volcano Pokémon Type: Fire Stage: 1 Abilities: Blaze Quilava, the Volcano Pokémon, and the evolved form of Cyndaquil. Its body is covered with fire-proof fur and can withstand any Fire-type attack. Quilava intimidates foes with its flame's heat, and when ready to battle, the fire burns with more strength. "Haha ha! Way to go, Quilava! You did it!"
"Pika!" His rodent partner chirped in encouragement. "Chu?" But celebrations, they had little time for, as the opponent brought out a rather deadly foe...a Scyther.
Yeah, they'll have to congratulate Quilava later. "You did great, Quilava! Return!" Recalling his evolved Pokemon, Ash took out another Pokeball, moving the battle along, quickly. "Go Pidgeotto! Use Gust attack!"
BOM!!
"GEOOO!!" His mighty bird jetted out of the Pokeball, circling around the bladed mantis to trap the bug in a windy twister. Ash brought out Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto uses Gust.

Bugsy smiled wide as his Scyther eyed up their opponent. The bug type buzzed furiously as its wings beat, keeping it aloft. It clashed its sharp scythes together, menacingly. It was certainly good at putting on a terrifying act. She loved to intimidate her foes and make them fear the true power of bug types. "Did you know, it's said that Scyther's blades are so sharp it can cut through entire trees! I haven't had my Scyther test it out though, not yet anyway! I don't want her to cut down any of the trees in here, but I bet I can find one to try it out on in Ilex Forest some time."Bugsy whistled as Ash sent out his avian Pokemon, the Pidgeotto's cry ringing out across the battlefield. "Another type advantage huh! Well don't get too confident, bug types are not to be underestimated! Quick Scyther, before it can attack, Dual Wingbeat!""Scyyy!" The bug Pokemon let out another cry of its own, the buzzing of its wings growing as it rushes to intercept the Pidgeotto in its attempt to trap it in a gust of wind. She slams into the Pidgeotto for her first hit, knocking it off balance and sending the Pidgeotto stumbling. As she tried to right herself in the air, the Scyther didn't give her time to recover, slamming into her one more and sending her crashing into the floor of the gym with a resounding smash that echoed. When the dust finally settled, the poor Pidgeotto lay in a heap of feathers, spirals in her eyes as she we knocked out from the attack. The Scyther flying to settle near her trainer. Bugsy congratulated his Pokemon on her win with a pat on the back. "See! You're gonna need a lot more than just a type advantage if you want to beat me and my girl here." GYM Battle: Bugsy Weather: Clear [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Scyther ♀ LV 21 HP 100% [66/66]
[attr="class","qkt-wild-imgbox"] [attr="class","qkt-pkmn-img"] [attr="class","qkt-trainer-pkmn"] Pidgeotto ♀ LV 20 HP 0% [0/61]
[attr="class","qkt-trainer-imgbox"] [attr="class","qkt-pkmn-img"] Bugsy's Scyther [Technician]: Normal Ash's Pidgeotto [Keen Eye]: Fainted SP55 Scyther used Dual Wingbeat! The first strike hit! The second strike was a critical hit! SP39 Pidgeotto Fainted!
Note: Quilava is at 25/49 HP. Pidgeotto lost -1 Happiness from Fainting.

Ash Ketchumfrom Pallet Town
"WAH?!" The moment his Pidgeotto unleashed winds at the bug, the deadly Pokemon just...passed right through them before they could even reach it, and struck down Pidgeotto...in just one shot! Just one! Is that attack powerful enough to one-shot all his Pokemon? No...there's no way it's unstoppable! "Pidgeotto, return!" he cried, shooting a beam from his Pokeball to catch the falling bird and reel her back into her Pokeball.
Alright now...that Scyther is REALLY speedy. The only way to cut off its speed is to paralyze it, and only one Pokemon he has on him can hopefully do that. "Pikachu, you ready?"
The rodent on his shoulder gave a determined nod. "Pika!" Yeah, Scythers are no joke, but we'll see just how much of a challenge this one is. "CHU!!" And Pikachu leaped off Ash, landing onto the battlefield. "Chuu..." Hissing, sparks surged from his cheeks as he stood ready on his fours. He has to be really fast before that thing can use that move again.
Ash's hands rolled into fists, pumped with excitement. "You're not gonna try that again! Pikachu, use Thunder Wave!!"
Reeling back, "PIKA!!" Pikachu launched like lightning, charging hard for the bug. "CHUUU!!" Leaping high, he unleashed an electric shockwave from his cheeks.

Bugsy and his bugs were not done with their surprises and while Ash had sent in a pokemon which could match scyther's speed, battles was so much more than just lashing out attacks. A thing, which Ash hadn't already understood that, he'd learn very, very soon. Bugsy chuckled, "your pikachu is the next one, do you think he got what it takes?"Pikachu leaped into the air and released his electricity and Scyther did some frantic dodging and crashed through a treetop to avoid the paralyzing electric waves. "Oi! That's a speedy little one!" Bugsy exclaimed and grinned, "it's not often we meet something which can keep up with Scyther, isn't that right girl?"His green bug called out her name as answer and bend a branch to the side so that she could look at Pikachu, she smirked. "Are you sure you are fit for this place?" Scyther asked Pikachu with a smile and gestured to the arena with her other scythe, "I mean, you are clearly strong and fast, and have the type advantage over me, and still, your trainer asks you to use the weakest move, I assume? I get that your friends and that you want to help out, I just think its a shame if you handle it all and he and the rest of your team members doesn't learn anything. I know you could pull them through but isn't it better to let them fight and come out stronger on the other side? Watch them celebrate for their own victory instead of yours?"Scyther calmly flew down from her perch to the ground and watched him calmly, "it's up to you of course, but you are clearly too good for this battle," she said with a laugh. When Pikachu had made his decision (and fallen asleep), Scyther would make her move. "I'm sorry, but this is still a battle, and you're still here,", she apologized as she readiet her scythes and raced over the ground to slashed the electric mouse before she spun around and disappeared in a red flash. Bugsy grinned, "Scyther is great at psychological battles too!" He flung a pokeball into the air and a yellow cocoon materialized and dumped down on the ground. "Ready? Your test is not over and I want to see what you'll do!" Bugsy called encouragingly, he also wanted to show how awesome bug pokemon could be, although Ash seemed to be pretty easy to convince about that.
