???: Virgoroth, Fury Swipes!

Roxanne: . . .

The trainer's Virgoroth would rush towards Roxanne's Nosepass, furiously slashing at the stone hard Pokemon, but Nosepass didn't seem to be affected by this at all, it just stood there. Roxanne sighed, crossing her arms as she slammed her foot on the ground

Roxanne: You just don't get it, do you? Your Pokemon just aren't strong enough to handle my Pokemon. You will lose, this will mark the 40th time.

???: Pfft, you shut your mouth! Me and Virgoroth WILL Beat your Pokemon, this will be the day we d-

Roxanne: Nosepass, Rock Tomb.

As Virgoroth continued to keep slashing at Nosepass, Nosepass would cause rocks to fall from the sky -- as the rocks would slam on Virgoroth, first one rock, then a horde of other rocks. The trainer's Nosepass was trapped underneath these rocks, Nosepass stood over the helpless Virgoroth, Roxanne would shake her head, the trainer on the other side began to shake a bit -- this had been a scene far too familiar to him.

Roxanne: Rock Slide.

A large number of rocks would come sliding onto Virgoroth, crushing it under its might -- Virgoroth fainted. The rocks would crumble away, revealing the fainted Pokemon. The trainer on the other side held his head down, he walked towards his Pokemon, sending it back to its Pokeball with no words said at all. He would look back towards Roxanne, he looked as if he was on the verge of tears, but he still had a grin on his face.

Roxanne: Zenku. . .

Zenku: SOON ROXANNE, SOON. ME AND VIRGOROTH WILL DEFEAT YOU.

Roxanne: You lose every time...Zenku, if you want any shot at beating me, I suggest you catch some Pokemon.

Zenku: I'm heading to the Pokemon Center, then me and Vigoroth will be back!

And with that, Zenku was off. He didn't go to the Pokemon Center as he said he would, but rather he went straight towards Petalburg woods -- then he bumped shoulders with someone, he turned to see who he made contact with -- and it was Ricky! The same Team Aqua Grunt from in the forest.

Zenku: Hm?

Ricky: Sorry, my bad!

Ricky would continue walking, as a girl would follow behind Ricky, giving Zenku the mad eye.

???: Watch it, Punk!

Zenku: I didn't-

She would quickly go running away, soon her and Ricky would be out of sight. Zenku would just shrug it off, as he continued walking and would end up in Petalburg woods -- as he walked, with the only thing in mind is taking down Roxanne, he tripped and stumbled over a Pokeball. He fell right of his face, as he sat up, he would look at what he tripped over -- an Opened Pokeball, he would grab the pokeball, and close it. Once he looked towards his left, he saw a little Gecko, standing right next to him, as the the creature hopped away, Zenku quickly realized this was his chance to catch a Pokemon, as he tossed the Pokeball at the creature, and enclosing it inside of the Pokeball without the Pokeball shaking once. Zenku jumped up, he yelled out, and he would then take the Pokeball and run out the woods

Zenku: Awesome, I caught it!

Zenku would then run right back into the Gym, as Roxanne sighed upon gazing her eyes on Zenku's presence.

Roxanne: So. . .you've returned, have you?

Zenku: Yeah, with a new Pokemon. NOW, GO -- WHATEVER YOU ARE!

Roxanne raised an eyebrow at Zenku's statement, she was apprehensive. She was excited to see he caught something new, but she was nervous to see what exactly was this Pokemon, she also had a strong doubt that it was anything new. But to her surprise, it was! A small green Gecko like Pokemon. . .but the Pokemon. . .didn't look to happy to be here. The Gecko scratched its head, looking around the room to see two beings way taller than it standing over it. Roxanne had a smile on her face, as she laughed, sending her Nosepass.

Roxanne: That's the spirit! Now that Pokemon, is a Treecko. Treecko is a grass type, and that's super effective against my rock Pokemon. Who knows, maybe you might when this time.

Zenku: AWESOME. Alright, Treecko -- use. . .Um? What. . .do you know?

Roxanne(Mumbling): Of course. . .

Roxanne: Nosepass, Rock Tomb!

Nosepass would nod, as a horde of rocks appeared in the sky from thin air, slamming onto Treecko, however Treecko avoided the attack by hoping to the right side of the arena. Treecko clinched its teeth, as it rushed towards Nosepass, and a snap -- Treecko smacked Nosepass with its tail, however Nosepass didn't even budge.

Roxanne: Now, Rock Slide!

Zenku: . . .

The Nosepass would expand its arms, as a horde of rocks came sliding down on Treecko, Treecko would then take the hits, but it grinned -- as Treecko would cause a light green and faint light to appear in front of Nosepass, Nosepass would soon collapse, as light green orbs would then transfer from Nosepass to Treecko, as Treecko seemed to regain its strength!

Roxanne: Absorb. . .?

Zenku: Alright, good work -- Treecko!

Treecko would turn towards Zenku with its arms crossed, as it grinned -- Nosepass would then hop into the air, as rocks would begin sliding down from the ceiling, stacking in a circle around Treecko, Nosepass would then come crashing down on Treecko, Treecko would jump up to avoid being crushed, but right when Treecko jumped up Nosepass was just a little bit above it

Roxanne: Now, Explosion!

A massive explosion would pop off, as smoke cleared the air you could see a red beam being absorbed into Roxanne's Pokeball, Treecko would fall to the ground -- bruised, however he wasn't out of the fight. Roxanne's eyes widened, as she laughed, jumping up and running towards Zenku, placing her fist on her hips as she looked into his eyes

Roxanne: Well, return your Pokemon.

Zenku: Right. . .good job, Treecko! Return.

Treecko would look towards Zenku, as it was turned into a red beam of energy and transferred into the Pokeball, Roxanne would inhale, and exhale

Roxanne: YOU DID IT. YOU BEAT ME AT LAST! I AM IMPRESSED, YOUR POKEMON IS AMAZI- Ahem. . .Zenku. . .

'

Zenku: Um. . .Yeah?

Roxanne: You have finally won. You have earned it, the Stone Badge.

Roxanne would hand Zenku a small symbol. Two arrowheads pointing adjacent ways with a small slanted slab in the center linking them together. Zenku grabbed the badge would a smile on his face, placing it in his gym case as he nodded.

Zeku: Thanks, Roxanne!

Zenku would then head towards the Pokemon center, as he healed his two Pokemon and then headed out of the Pokemon Center, completely energized.

Zenku: AWESOME. NOW, ONTO THE NEXT GYM!
