After defeating the Ponyta with minimal effort Oracle was just about ready for the upcoming gym battle and to finish the last bit of training she needed Kevin had just the right item on hand as he gave her a Rare Candy that he had been saving for this very moment." Great work Oracle, use this Rare Candy and you will be ready for the next gym battle. As a matter of fact once I make one change to our team I do believe we will be ready to try our luck now." After Oracle finished eating her treat Kevin and his Pokemon made their way to the Pokemon Center to make a small change to the team lineup before heading to the gym.
" Corporal Crusty, I think you can sit this gym out as neither of your types will be super effective and we have plenty of defensive coverage. Something tells me bringing along an extra steel type will be helpful so I will bring Clamps along just in case in your place. I am sure you will get a chance to fight in a gym at some point but you have certainly earned a rest for now." After making the swap Kevin made his way towards the entrance of the nearby gym which seemed to be all but deserted as outside of a single young girl standing at the entrance no one else seemed to be around.
As Kevin hoped his trip was not in vein he approached the young girl and asked her if she knew where the gym leader was at. " Excuse me, are you the gym leader here? I was hoping to try and earn my next badge but this gym sure seems quiet about now and I would hate to find out that my trip has been futile." As he waited for a response Samantha popped out of her Pokeball and yawned before laying eyes on the young girl. Children were not something Samantha was a huge fan of as they always liked to get sticky things caught in Pokemon fur and she wanted to keep the young creatin as far away as possible.
" Please tell me she isn't the gym leader, the last thing I need is to get sticky fur from a brat like this." Samantha said under her breath before turning towards Kevin hoping someone of a more mature age was in charge of the gym.
OOC: Kevin will use a Rare Candy from March's inventory on Oracle to raise her to level 32 and then swap out Corporal Crusty for Clamps the shiny Scizor and then he will be taking on the gym battle now. Turning Bike Mode off until further notice. I will take option 2 for Whitney but as Lass Carrie has to be fought first either way I am awaiting her spawn before selecting Kevin's first Pokemon. Updating Oracle and Kevin's team myself.

Kevin would in fact be greeted by a young girl, a school-aged one at that judging from her short height and uniform-like clothing. It wouldn't be out of the question for someone so young to be made a Gym Leader, though one would not blame him or his Pokemon for hoping to find someone a bit more mature. Alas, they would not fare much better when it came time to meet the actual Gym Leader. The girl squeaked with excitement at the sight of a new challenger, barely able to contain her joy at the sight of the door opening. "Ohemgee, a challenger! Welcome to the Goldenrod Gym! I'm not the Gym Leader, I just help her run things around here. If you want a chance at Whitney, you're gonna have to make it through me first! I may be cute, but you better not go easy on me!" the girl declared, retrieving a Poke Ball from the small bag on her back. She lead Kevin into the Gym proper, to a pink and pastel-colored battle arena set in the middle of a series of sprawling walls and platforms. The Gym's design was abstract, to put it nicely, with no clear sense of design or purpose behind any of it other than "pink". The girl released a Poke Ball into the air, summoning out a pink puffball that floated down slowly. The bright-eyed puffball landed on the Gym floor, bowing as if it had just put on some special show with its slow descent from the air. The girl giggled at her Pokemon's small antics, opting to finally introduce herself. "Alright Mr. Challenger! My name is Carrie, and this is my friend Lulu. Now, give us your best shot Mr. Challenger!"Lass Carrie stands in your way! She sends out Lulu the Jigglypuff (Level 18)! Mod notes: Option 2 has been selected for the Gym.

It had been a while since Kevin had seen a gym with an assistant who would not allow a challenger to face a gym leader without beating them first but he was not about to pass up a chance to test his skills against another trainer before the gym battle officially started. The young lass might not look like she would be tough but Kevin had more than his fair share of encounters to know not to judge a book by it's cover. He also did not want to show off his trump card too early in case the actual gym leader was watching.
" Hello there, my name is Kevin, though I was hoping to get straight to the gym battle I am not above proving myself worthy and I shall not hold back either. I am looking forward to a good battle." He then grabbed Clamps Pokeball and held it in his hands for a few seconds before tossing the ball in front of him. As Jigglypuff was part fairy type he was quite glad he had brought a steel type about now and he still had Oracle as well if things got bad and he had to reveal his trump card early.
" Clamps you will be up first, bug types like yourself are usually underestimated but as you are also part steel type you will be a big help in this battle." Seconds later the shiny Scizor stretched out his arms and snapped his claws right in front of the Jigglypuff tryibg to intimidate his foe before making a move. Looks were not the only thing a Scizor like himself could use to his advantage as his ability would make any of his weaker moves move powerful. With that in mind Kevin had the perfect plan to counter Jigglypuff.
" Clamps start things out with your Bullet Punch, your ability should come in handy in this case and the boost in speed certainly won't hurt either." As soon as Clamps heard his orders he rushed forward with his claws pointed straight out before preparing to deliver a series of super fast punches. Both his arms started to glow in a bright light as his ability activated increasing the power of the incoming move. Kevin knew Bugsy loved similar combos and hoped a young lass would not be ready to handle such a strong combo as few trainers would be prepared for such a strike.
OOC: Clamps uses Bullet Punch. Technician activates boosting it's power.

Carrie made a disgusted face upon seeing the Scizor appeared. "Eeww.. Bugs! Whitney wouldn't like that! It looks like puke too! Gross! Lulu, put it to sleep with Sing!" The Jigglypuff inhaled air as it wanted to begin singing a lullaby to put Scizor to sleep. However, the shiny steel type was faster on his feet or wings. With a gallant buzz forward, with his hand-claws closed like a fist, the duo type jabbed the pink balloon out of its air. The fairy type groaned in pain and exhaled the air it was saving for an acoustic concert. Carrie grumbled as her Pokemon didn't even get a move in before being knocked out. "Ugh! Why is this nasty Scizor so fast? Come on out, Lemon! It's time to squash this bug!" She swapped her Pokemon and sent out a Meowth. The normal type stared at the Scizor and purred softly.
Clamps +900 exp, now 1900/1951! +1 happiness, now +3! Carrie sent out her (Level 18) Lemon!

As soon as Kevin heard Carrie's reaction to Clamps appearance he knew the young Scizor would not take the insult very well at all. Bug types usually got disrespected left and right for various reasons and Clamps was no exception. Given how easily he was able to defeat her Jigglypuff however Kevin saw this a great way to teach the young lass a nice lesson. " It is true some bug types can be less than pleasant in either appearance or nature but that does not necessarily mean they are gross, they might be different but there is nothing wrong with that. Shiny Scizor might not be cute like your Pokemon but looks are not everything either and I do hope by the end of this battle you will see that no Pokemon should be judged solely based off of that."
Though he had seemed to already prove that point he felt like keeping Clamps out for now would be a great way to hammer the point home. Maybe the young lass would tell him other things Whitney did not like so he could take advantage of it once he was able to prove himself worthy of facing her. Knowing she did not like bugs certainly helped as he would be sure to at least start with Clamps to unnerve her right off of the bat and go from there. " Oh my dear, some bug types might be easy to squash but Scizor thanks to their steel hard armor are not very easy to squash at all. Unlike Pokemon with flesh and bone Scizor are very well protected on the outside but good luck in trying to squish it as doing so is quite a feat if you manage it."
He then smiled as Clamps started to warm up getting ready to deliver another punch. The young bug felt quite insulted by this young lass and he wanted to teach her a lesson she would not forget. Kevin thought Bullet Punch would be a great way to keep the pressure on without even needing to try a bug type attack. " Clamps does know a bug type move but I think another display of Bullet Punch is a great way to show how versatile his species can be. Usually it is a weak move but thanks to his ability it packs far more of a punch than usual no pun intended. Clamps go ahead and strike and prepare a second Bullet Punch just in case."
Seconds later Clamps rushed forward ready to deliver a series of punches, he was not going to hold back against such a rude trainer or her Pokemon no matter how much of an advantage he already had.
OOC: Clamps uses Bullet Punch x2. If he knocks out Lemon he will use the second Bullet Punch on Carrie's final Pokemon. Running Shoes are now exhausted for this battle.

Lass Carrie had to disagree with Kevin. Bugs were one of the creepiest things on this planet! They were nothing like her adorable collection of pink babies who looked absolutely cute in everything, like ever. And they often bothered you in the weirdest ways, like crawling out of cracks in the wall and spinning webs you wouldn’t see directly in your path until you walked face first into them. “Your uhh…Clamps…sure is strong. But sooooo grooooosssss!” She squeaked in a high pitched squeal. “Please, Lemon, hurry and squash it with your Scratch!”Lemon meowed and stretched out on the battlefield, working her muscles as she prepared for the battle. She raced across the ground, though Clamps was just blindingly faster and easily knocked the furry feline out. “Oh no…Lemon! I’m so sorry! I…don’t mean to be so squeamish…but they just CREEP me out! With a capital C!” Lass Carrie explained, having a hard time even just looking at Clamps as it sped through the air and punched each Pokemon, one after the other. “Ok, Sugerplum, you’re next! Bite through that tough shell with your Fire Fang!” Carrie screamed. Though the wild pup growled and barked loudly, it was all bark and no bite. Clamps sped across the battlefield with ease, quickly making laps around the spunky pup as he punched her in several places and knocked the pink pooch out with one swift strike. Sugarplum yipped and yelped as she raced to duck behind Carries, cowering in fear. “Oh dear…you’re so strong…Ok. I’m sorry. I really just cannot STAND that thing…but I owe you an apology for sure! Here…for winning. Give me a second, I’ll fetch Whitney.” Carrie promised, passing over Kevin’s winnings before racing off to find the Gym Leader. Clamps gained 900 EXP. Clamps increased to 2800/1951 EXP!Clamps gained 1 level. Clamps increased to Level 26!Clamps grew closer to Kevin. +1 Clamps increased to +4 Happiness!Clamps gained 1000 EXP. Clamps increased to 1849/2107 EXP!Clamps grew closer to Kevin. +1 Clamps increased to +5 Happiness! Kevin defeated Lass Carrie! She gives him £896 for winning. Kevin has a short window to use any items before Whitney appears.

As Clamps made quick work of both of Lass Carrie's Pokemon Kevin was quite proud of the young Scizor who by now easily proved his point. Clamps did not even have a scratch on him and though Kevin knew he would have a few moments to use an item while Lass Carrie ran off to fetch Whitney there was no need for him to do so. While he waited he did take note of the Pokemon the young lass had used against him and figured this gym must use a lot of fairy and normal type Pokemon. Fairy types would be easy for Clamps to deal with but some normal types might still pose a challenge for him.
" Given the cute Pokemon we have seen so far I think it is safe to assume the gym leader will use them as well. To be fair some cute Pokemon can be dangerous though they might also pull a fast one and use a Tauros or Slaking instead so we need to be ready for anything. Good thing Oracle still has that Black Belt ad we might just need it by the end of this battle." He muttered to himself as he waited for the gym leader to appear.
Given the show he had put on with the young lasd he had little doubt the gym leader would be intrested in meeting him and he was looking forward to trying to earn another badge. After a few moments of waiting he could hear something approaching off in the distance and he got ready in case the gym leader was finally here. As much as he wanted to use Oracle in the upcoming battle he wanted to take full advantage of Whitney's dislike of bug types so he kept Clamps out just in case the Scizor could save Oracle some energy for later in the battle.
As a few more moment's passed he saw a youbg looking girl walking towards him with pink hair that reminded him of Nurse Joy. Unlike the famous family of nurses however there was no signs of a Chansey or Blissey anywhere on her. Whatever Pokemon she was going to use he doubted she would be a pushover. " You must be Mrs. Whitney, I am here to challenge you to a gym battle. My name is Kevin and the quiet Braixen over here is Samantha, the Scizor Scizor in front of me is Clamps, and the eager looking Lucario here is Oracle. We are all looking forward to a good battle. He said before waiting for a response.
OOC: Waiting for Whitney to spawn, as mentioned earlier I am selecting option 2 for the high money prize.

Whitney knew she had a challenger, but she was in the back, prettying herself up when Lass Carie hurried into her changing room and told her that she was needed. The pink-haired young lady glanced back at her trainer and blinked, "Already? But he just got here and I'm not done with my make up?! Urg. Rude. Boys are always in such a hurry." "And they have such rough, creepy pokemon too," Carie complained. "Oh no, what did he bring?" "He took down all of my cuties with this ugly, green bug." "A scyther?" "No, the evolution." She shuddered. "It's a weird, sickly color." A shiny then. Perhaps a lucky catch at the National Park during the Bug Catching Contest. Whitney pouted and hurriedly finished touching up her makeup and fluffed her hair. She spun for Carie and the lass helped make sure she was super cute before she left the room. Looking good was part of her job! That, and a little makeup helped her look older. Being so young often meant that people under estimated her. And well, that was always a mistake! She had ended many a haughty trainer's journey here in Goldenrod with a smile. Upon entering the gym floor, she waved to the referee and crossed towards her challenger. Hng. Oh. The bug. Her smile twitched. He was introducing her to the bug. Whitney mentally shook herself and flashed a confident smile, "I am indeed! And I will show you the power of cute pokemon! So don't you dare under estimate me or my team!" Whitney flounced to her spot on the opposite side of the gym where a podium awaited. She flipped open the guard and plucked a ball from the stand. "Clefairy, let's do this!" She threw the ball and from it burst an adorably pink pokemon. Gym Leader Whitney accepts your challenge! She sends out her [LV 25] Clefairy.
HARD MODE

As Whitney tossed out her first Pokemon Kevin smiled as it seemed his hunch that she would use cute Pokemon was spot on. Clefairy was not the first Pokemon that had come to his mind when it came to battling a gym leader but as he knew their Metronome could be quite dangerous he did not dare to underestimate it. On the other hand he knew it was not as dangerous as it could have been so he was more than happy to keep Clamps out for now as he felt the young Scizor deserved a chance to show off and the longer he could avoid using Oracle for this battle the better.
" It is nice to meet you and Clefairy, I must say it fits quite well with the other Pokemon Lass Carrie used against me in the previous battle. I was not sure which of my Pokemon I would use first but since I am curious to see if Clamps is strong enough to handle a gym leader's Pokemon I think he will be up first. I am sure Lass Carrie already told you about her experience so I do not think he will be much of a surprise for you."
With both Pokemon on the field Kevin knew the true test of his strength was about to begin. He had little doubt Whitney was hiding a more powerful Pokemon in the wings but for now he was focused on dealing with the Clefairy across from him first. If he could bring it down without much trouble it would make dealing with whatever else Whitney might have just a bit easier to deal with. As Clamps was not super fast and Clefairy were weak to it's steel type moves Kevin decided trying for a super effective hit to start things off would be the best course of action.
" Fate might just be unkind to us if we let that CLefairy hang around for too long, if it calls the right move it could quickly gain the upper hand, Clamps use Bullet Punch before it can get an attack off and try to give us an early advantage." Seconds later the young Scizor rushed forward holding it's pincers out ready to deliver a lightning fast punch as soon as he was in range of the target. His pincers glowed bright yellow as his ability kicked in boosting the strength of the incoming attack.
OOC: Clamps uses Bullet Punch. Technician boosts the power of his attack.

Whitney blushed, causing her cheeks to turn a rich rosy color that matched her pink hair and pink eyes. Although Kevin's bug weirded her out, causing the GYM Leader to leave some extra distance between herself and Kevin, his words were sweet. "Thank you for the compliments but don't think it will mean that I will go easy on you." She puffed out her cheeks playfully and held one finger up in the air that she wagged jokingly in Kevin's direction. Men sometimes underestimated her thanks to her adorable charm after she finished making sure her look was just right. Kevin didn't quite give the same vibes, to which Whitney actually appreciated more. "Clefairy, come on out! Use your Metronome!" Whitney twirled a lock of her pink hair around one of her fingers as she instructed her Pokémon on its first move. Metronome was a basket case of a move. Though sometimes, it proved to be no different than playing Poker or any other casino-based game for money, Whitney was confident that her pink puff ball somehow had a knack for calling just the right move with it at the right time. Clefairy giggled and bounced over towards Clamps while holding her tiny paws up in the air. She began to chant softly underneath her voice while focusing all her attention on her attack, preparing to launch the mystical energy from her palms. "I was warned about your...Scizor, yes. It's a shiny variation of our normal Scizors, isn't it? How did you meet Clamps?" Whitney asked with a sweet smile. Unfortunately, Clamps was just too fast for Clefairy. He sped through the air and slammed his thick, metallic claw into Clefairy's chest, knocking the Pokemon up high into the air. There they spiraled as though they were dancers in the sky, before spinning back down where Clamps slammed Clefairy into the harsh GYM floor with a triumphant look on his face. "Faaaiirrryy~" It struggled for a moment, then collapsed in pure exhaustion from the effort. "Oh no, Clefairy!" Whitney cried, recalling her Pokémon with the click of a button before pulling out another ball and unleashing her bright pink cow. "It's all up to you now, Miltank! Kevin's assured me in Clefairy's fight against Clamps not to underestimate their team, so be careful and pay close attention!" She warned Miltank.
Clamps gained 1250 EXP. Clamps increased to 3099/2107 EXP!Clamps gained 1 level. Clamps increased to Level 27!Clamps grew closer to Kevin. +1 Clamps increased to +6 Happiness! Whitney isn't done yet! She sends out her Level 28 Miltank! Will Kevin switch Pokemon?

As Whitney's Clefairy fell after a single attack Kevin was quite relieved that he did not have to worry about Metronome causing any havoc to his team. As he paused for a moment he pondered Whitney's question for a moment as he was not Clamps owner but rather was raising the young Scizor for Marchbaby. " I actually got Clamps from a friend to train since he has such a large collection to train. I believe he got him from a festival a while back and he asked me to raise him. Clamps is indeed a shiny Scizor who I evolved from a shiny Scyther."
As he finished answering Whitney's question he was rather surprised by her next Pokemon as few trainers would bother to raise a Miltank in such a large city but he knew enough of the species not to underestimate it and he quickly recalled Clamps knowing the Scizor had little hope of defeating the bovine Pokemon at his current level. " Clamps you have earned a rest, you did great but a Miltank will be much too hard for you. Oracle will have her chance to show her strength now." Seconds later the Lucario stepped forward Blackbelt in hand ready to face the mighty cow Pokemon without hesitation.
Though he had previously revealed his trump card he had not revealed his exact plans up until now in case Whitney tried anything out of desperation but it was now time to set his plan into motion. Usually even a mighty Lucario would either need a critical hit to knock out such a strong Miltank in a single hit but he hoped that the Blackbelt Oracle was holding but he was hoping the boost in power would be enough to remove the need for luck to bring this battle to a close. He took a deep breath and looked Oracle in the eyes before giving his orders.
" Oracle it is time, you have trained hard for this moment and this will be a true test of your skills. Miltank are no pushover and unlike CLefairy they are fast as well. I do believe thanks to your additional training that you should be able to outspeed it but do not let your guard down. Use Aura Sphere and she Miltank and Whitney just how powerful you have become." He then watched as Oracle started to make her move praying that a single hit would end this battle and earn him the Plain Badge after working so hard towards it.
OOC: Using the free swap in to replace Clamps with Oracle. Oracle uses Aura Sphere. She is holding a Blackbelt to increase her power.

Whitney tilted her head and tapped the bottom of her chin with a single finger. Kevin was simply helping someone else out with their Pokemon, instead? That sounded like a kind friend. While she had a few that would sometimes visit the farm and lend a helping hand if she asked them too, she’d never found a need to ask someone to help her train her own Pokemon as a Gym Leader and one of the strongest trainers in her city. “That’s very sweet of you. You’re quite a friend if he can rely on your help.” She smiled warmly, applauding him for being a pretty decent guy. “Miltank is one of my closest friends. I practically raised her since she was a calf. Will you show me one of your Pokemon personally, at least before our match is over?” Whitney asked Kevin hopefully both to get the bug replaced but more so to see what types of Pokemon Kevin owned personally. It was one thing to see what his training was capable of on someone else’s Pokemon, but it was another thing entirely to see what kind of Pokemon he trained for himself. When Oracle appeared, Whitney’s jaw nearly dropped off. “Oh. My! I have seen so few Lucario come through my doors before. You have to tell me your history!” She insisted with a wide grin. “Miltank use your Zen Headbutt!” Whitney commanded. Miltank bellowed, lowering her head and kicking at the tiled floor with one of her hooves in preparation. Oracle was just too fast, though, and immediately knocked the bovine out with a singular shot. Whitney huffed with a glum look. “Well…man! I really didn’t expect to go down so quickly. I guess I have to train to prepare for more trainers as capable as yourself.” She commented, finding her smile once more. She recalled her Miltank and walked over to Kevin, pulling out a small badge, some funds, and a TM. “This badge is proof of your victory in this match. The TM is called Attract and can really stall your opponent if they’re the opposite gender. And lastly, the funds I owe you for besting me.” She explained, before bidding Kevin a fond farewell. Hopefully wherever Kevin’s path would take him next, he would continue working hard on his training with his partners as it was paying off well for them from where Whitney stood.
