After painting Nurse Joy's face and uniform with so much white she had to go change, you shook yourself out of your little horny daze and grabbed your pokemon. It was time for you to hit up the gym.

Thankfully, even with your dick leading you along for while, it only managed to take an hour and a half out of your life.

It wasn't very hard to find the Pewter City gym either, it stood out quite a bad. But then honestly, how hard could it have been to find a building carved entirely out of a massive gargantuan boulder, a leftover of the mountain that was once Pewter City, in the middle of an industrialized city?

It was honestly quite amazing as far as buildings went. One of the few last remainders of a battle site that housed the war between the three legendary birds and their godlike power?

The giant, majestic arch at the front of the building, and the small boulders making a pathway into its interior garden was quite the sight too.

You walked up the path and pushed your way inside the large oak doors, whistling as you took in the interior.

Smooth tile flooring was what you found yourself standing on, though there wasn't much of it. There was a competitor box painted right in front of you, connected to a massive stone battlefield littered with rocks and boulders of all sizes. And at the very far end of the room, a set of stars leading up to a small stage like area.

And sitting cross legged on that stage, a shadow cast over his face was an older dark skinned teenager, a frown on his face and arms crossed, looking right at you.

"Hello." a light clicked on, shining down on the older teen.

Weird flex, but okay. "Hey, I'm here for a gym battle." you said, getting right down to buisness.

The dark skinned teen stood up, dusting off his green blazer, "You look young," he noted, "Is this your first gym battle?"

"It is." you nodded back.

"Then I have to tell you, a gym battle is different from normal battles-"

He went on to explain, but you cut him off, "I know all that, what idiot would challenge you to a gym battle without knowing what a gym battle is?" you asked, shaking your head, "What's your rules?"

He sighed, "..There are no special rules. I favour a two on two match, where only you the challenger can substitute pokemon," he explained. the teens narrow eyes locked onto the six pokeballs on your belt, "How long have you been a trainer?"

You had no idea what bearing that had on your battle, but you answered nonetheless, "Three days." you answered.

The gym leader shook his head, a small scoff leaving his lips, "Three days and you want to challenge a gym leader?" he shook his head in derision, "At least the other one used a pokemon he'd been training in secret for two months before starting his journey."

How rude. And that would be Gary of course. So that's how long he'd been training his starter. Not beyond what you expected, but still to here he had spent that much time beyond starting his journey was kind of gratingly annoying.

"You can't win." the dark skinned gym leader told you.

"A lot of tough talk coming from you, but you should remember my name, Cobalt," you shot back, "Cuz trust me, you won't last long against me."

The older teen sighed, "Very well, let;s battle then," he replied, pulling out a pokeball of his own and jumping down from the ledge, "And for politeness sake, my own name is Brock."

You sent him a nod, and took your position on the opposite side of him.

"Go, Geodude!" Brock called out a moment later, releasing his pokemon.

"Dude!" the floating rock type grunted, curling its arms up and staring at you, hard.

It was big for a Geodude you noted. But still, a Geodude? You'd heard Brock was new to being a gym leader, but you kind of expected more from one than Geodude.

Still, you wouldn't underestimate him.

"Go, Ivysaur!" you replied in kind, releasing your starter pokemon who landed atop one of the larger rocky outcroppings of the battlefield.

"Let the battle begin!" Brock declared, swiping his hand through the air. "Let's see if you aren't all talk yourself! Geodude, Flamethrower!"

Well now, wasn't that interesting?

Geodude released a large torrent of red hot flames from its mouth that shot towards Ivysaur. Your starter grunted, lashing out with a few of his vines and launching himself into the air and safely over the flames.

"Good speed for an Ivysaur." Brock noted with a nod, "Geodude, Mega Punch!"

"Dude!" Geodude shouted, shooting through the air towards Ivysaur, both rocky fists held outstretched in front of it, twin corona's of blazing orange energy wrapping around them.

"Razor Leaf!" you countered.

"Saur!" Ivysaur obeyed, and while high in the air, unleashed dozens upon dozens of bladed leaves towards Geodude.

"Push through!" Brock ordered.

The rock and ground type sped up, fists spearing a pathway through the barrage of attacks. Some nicked it, but the general aura its fists released protected it.

Ivysaur lashed out with his six vines this time, shooting down to wrap around a larger boulder and pull himself out of harms way just as Geodude's fists tore through his previous position.

"Well alright then." you whispered to yourself. Message received, even a basic bottom pokemon like Geodude was a monster in the hands of a gym leader, even a newbie one.

"Rollout!" Brock followed up sharply, earning a grunt and nod from his pokemon. It turned mid-air, pulling the momentum behind its charge to roll into a sphere and shoot down towards Ivysaur rolling at a rapid pace.

"Vine Whip, pull it down!" you countered.

Ivysaur unleashed all six vines from his bulb up through the air. Geodude changed course a bit, but had nothing to push off in the air for a more speedy turn. All six vines slapped into the rolling pokemon and wrapped around it, each one hitting with enough force to crush stone.

Geodude only picked up speed.

"SAUR!" Ivysaur roared, as he heaved with all his strength. He pushed his legs down so hard the rock he was standing on buckled and broke beneath him, and it was just enough to pull Geodude off course, slamming the spinning pokemon hard into the battlefield.

The ground shook beneath you. But still Geodude didn't stop. It continued rolling, and Ivysaur grunted, slowly being pulled along inch by slow inch, his vines beginning to loosen.

"Leech Seed!" you shouted, taking the chance with Geodude leaving itself open while it tried to pull out of Ivysaur's hold.

Ivysaur grunted, nearly losing his footing but he managed to sprout the seed at the tip of his pink bulb and shoot it through the air towards the rolling Geodude.

"Stop Geodude, Flamethrower!" Brock countered.

Geodude instantly transitioned out of its roll, but because of the way it was going, its back was facing Ivysaur as it came out of it, and had no time to turn and fire its fire attack before the seed smacked into its back and released dozens of vines that wrapped around its body, lighting it up in a red bio field that rapidly began to drain its energy.

Geodude groaned, failing to keep levitating and falling to the ground. You smirked, punching a fist forward at the rock and ground type, "Double up with Mega Drain!" you followed up with.

With its body trapped both by the Leech Seed, and wrapped up by all of Ivysaur's six thick vines, Geodude had no chance to escape as Ivysaur unleashed a pair of large, twin red beams of energy from his crimson eyes and struck the immoblized pokemon with both of them, draining its energy into Ivysaur.

...

"Geodude, return!" Brock lifted his pokemon's pokeball and recalled his trapped pokemon. You sent him a look but he shook his head, "Geodude had no chance of escaping, so there was no point keeping him out just to suffer needlessly, you win this round."

"Way to go Ivysaur!" you cheered.

Ivysaur, panting a bit turned and offered you a lazy salute with one of his vines, before turning back around to face Brock, ready for his next choice.

"That was very well done, I didn't expect a trainer of only three days to be so composed and skilled when it came to battling," Brock praised you, switching out Geodude's pokeball with another, "But don't think for a second you've won, because now I'm bringing out my strongest pokemon, go Onix!"

A massive roar split the air, and the ground shook so hard you almost thought there was an earthquake. But it wasn't any mere earthquake. It was just the very earth itself shaking to herald the arrival of the titanic rock snake pokemon.

Holy shit that thing was big. Pieces of the battlefield splintered and shot into the air just from it appearing. It was that big and heavy. You stared wide-eyed.

You whistled, "All right, credit where credit is due," you admitted, "That's one badass pokemon."

Brock smirked, "Thanks for the compliment," he replied, "But don't think that'll make Onix go easy on your pokemon."

"Heh." you chuckled, "Like we need it. Hope you don't mind if we start things off though."

"In fact, I do," Brock replied, he pointed his hand forward, "Skull Bash!"

Onix roared, white light exploded from around its head and the massive rock snake pokemon lunged towards Ivysaur with more speed than it had any right too.

"Sleep Vine!" you countered.

Ivysaur met the giant charging pokemon head on. His six vines shot up through the cloud of sleep powder he released above him and whipped into Onix sides at the same time Onix crashed into your starter pokemon.

Ivysaur roared in pain as he was sent flying back, smashing into the wall behind you with enough force to crater at, at the same time Onix fell limp to the ground, massive body shaking the entire building and tearing a massive trench in the battlefield, napping away.

Ivysaur hit the ground hard after bouncing off the wall, and began shakily pulling himself up. He made to take a step forward, but swayed dangerously to the side and almost fell over.

"What insane power." you muttered under your breath. Just one hit and Ivysaur could barely stand!

"Ivysaur, leech seed then you can rest!" you told your pokemon.

Ivysaur groaned, but nodded. He released the seed from his bulb, having an easy time of hitting Onix's massive form, the large vines spreading out over its body and coating it, like Geodude, in the red bio field of draining energy.

"Good job buddy, return!" you said, lifting his pokeball and pulling him back from the fight, quickly exchanging his pokeball for another and releasing your next pokemon, "Kingler go!"

"Kookee!" Kingler boomed as he appeared, pincers snapping menacingly at your opponents.

"Onix, no! Wake up!" Brock shouted.

But Onix didn't even stir.

You weren't about to let the opportunity pass you by. "Water Gun, Agility, Crabhammer!" you rapidly relayed to your water type.

Kingler took advantage of the giant rock types state, firing a massive jet of water from his mouth and slamming right into the napping pokemon's face. It groaned in pain even in its sleep, which it hadn't done even with the leech seed draining it.

Then Kingler exploded forward in a blur of speed, massive claw glowing blue and slammed it into the giant rock snake's face. Onix screamed and the pure fore behind Kingler actually lifted the gargantuan pokemon up into the air, sending it flying to the other end of the battlefield where it like Ivysaur crashed into the wall hard, and fell to the ground.

Unlike Ivysaur though, Onix had swirls in its eyes.

Brock gaped in shock, "What power!" he gasped!

It took him a few moments to regain his composure enough to return his pokemon. He shook his head, walking over to you, a smile replacing the frown he'd worn ostly since you met.

"You did prove me wrong Cobalt, you're quite the talented trainer." Brock praised you. He held out his hand, showing a TM disc, and a small grey object. "It's my pleasure to award you the Boulder Badge, I look forward to seeing you compete in the league this year."

After receiving your first badge from Brock, you made your way back to the Pokemon Centre. It was still only about five in the afternoon, you had plenty of daylight to burn, and since Nurse Joy wouldn't be putting out tonight, there was no point sticking around.

Especially when you know where a Rhyhorn herd is going to be. You don't want to possibly miss them by waiting around.

Still, you took the time to duck into the alleyway beside the Pokemon Mart and holler out a cheer or two when you saw just how much money you got from defeating Brock. Nearly 32,000 big ones. Easily enough to buy a small house with!

After getting over your near panic attack at all that money, you decided to stop in at the Pokemart while you were there. You grabbed a pair of TM's for Water Gun and ten pokeballs. You know Nidoran can learn it when she evolves into Nidorina, and a lot of other non water types like Rhydon can learn it too.

Once you stowed them away beside the Rock Slide TM you got from Brock, you continued on to the pokemon Centre. You weren't there for long, maybe half an hour at most since Ivysaur was the only pokemon you had that was hurt in anyway, and not that much, and you didn't even get to see Nurse Joy she was that busy, instead getting stuck with a Chansey, that while pleasant and lovely pokemon as it was, you preferred Nurse Joy's curvaceous figure.

And come Six pm, you left the Pokemon Centre behind, and Pewter City not long later.

"Get back!" you shouted.

Just in time, Nidoran kicked off the ground with her Double Kick, and launched herself carthweeling backwards, just in time for a large Golem to smash into where she was standing previously with a roar.

A second Golem, rolled in a moment later, jumping out of its roll and keening in worry, fretting over the pair of Graveler that picked a fight with you a few minutes ago, and were quickly defeated by Nidoran.

"Well, this is a bad start to the morning." you growled.

And to think things were going so well too. You'd camped at the bottom of the Diglett Cave last night, done some light training with your pokemon, and in the morning began your hike up over the mountain.

There'd been a Fearow you'd been tempted to catch, it had been a bit small, so probably a Spearow that evolved young, but it went down so easily to Nidoran, that you didn't find the desire in you to capture it.

Another two hours into your hike over the mountain top, and you were waylaid by a pair of Graveler trying to pick a fight, and were quite honestly, beaten really easily by Nidoran just like the Fearow before them, obviously another pair that evolved really early, they couldn't hope to compare to the strength of Brock's Geodude.

Your hand went to your belt, grabbing another pokeball. Two Golem, probably the parents of the two Graveler. The smaller one, fretting over the two probably the mother, and the large one with livid red eyes glaring at you and Nidoran, the father.

Just your luck. Regardless, you felt a smile tug at your lips.

The smaller of the two Golem swung its head towards Nidoran, unleashing a howl of rage. It opened its mouth, white light forming into a sphere.

"Go, Sandshrew!" you released your pokemon, the ground type in front of Nidoran in the blink of an eye.

Just in time. From the white sphere in its mouth, Golem fired dozens of large, jagged rocks towards your pokemon.

"Sand!" Sandshrew threw up his arms, guarding as the attacks slammed into him and began pushing him back, but protecting Nidoran all the same.

You were about to call for Nidoran to help him out, when Sandshrew snarled, twisting his little clawed arms out and slashed his arms wide. And then exploded into white light. He grew, and changed. Sharp quills growing along his back as he expanded in size, and large bladed claws growing out of his hands, the light dying down a moment later to reveal your newly evolved pokemon, large claws still glowing though with shimmering silver energy.

"Slash!" Sandslash snarled, jumping forward into a ball and rapidly spinning towards the smaller of the two Golem. Before it could react, Sandslash came out of his spin, using the momentum behind him to slash at the Golem with a pair of Metal Claw attacks.

You recognized the steel type energy, you'd seen a few pokemon use it before.

The Golem shouted in pain, and was sent rolling back, legs and arms going limp as it crashed into a large rock face, unable to continue.

The other Golem, upon seeing its apparent mate go down, roared like a beast. Jumping into the air and retracting its limbs into its shell and rapidly shooting towards Sandslash while spinning.

"Double Kick!" you ordered quickly.

Nidoran kicked off the ground with her Double Kick, accelerating into a rapid cartwheel and picking up even more speed as she came out and delivered a two footed glowing white drop kick to Golem's rapidly rotating shell.

And to your utter astonishment, the white glow travelled up her entire body as she grunted and pushed even harder into her kick against the Golem. Like Sandslash before her, Nidoran's body expanded in size, so much so she was nearly four or five times her previous body size.

With her new increase in size, Golem was sent veering widely off course, slamming into a boulder and shattering it to pieces.

Nidoran, now Nidorina landed nimbly on the ground as the white glow receded to show off her new body to the world.

"Nida!" she smiled, flashing you a thumbs up.

You grinned, flashing her one back. You saw Golem pulling itself out of its shell, shaking its head and standing up with a growl. It wasn't over yet. Your hand slipped into the side part of your bag and pulled out a blue disc. "Catch!" you shouted, throwing it like a frizbee towards Nidorina.

She jumped and caught it i her mouth with a flourished spin, and you saw the TM glow with blue light that was suffused into Nidorina's body, and the disc turned grew.

"Water Gun!" you followed up and ordered, as she landed, spitting the disc out.

She growled, whirling around to face the Golem, and spat out a large, compressed stream of water from her mouth. Not as big as Kingler's was, but it got the job done, the high power stream smashing into Golem and ploughing it through another boulder, where it fell limp, just like the other three rock type's that faced your pokemon.

"Woo!" you cheered, "Way to go guys!" you knew they were both incredibly close to evolving, should have already considering their size and strength, you weren't expecting them to evolve at nearly the exact same time though!

It was so very tempting to capture the largest of the Golem. For all that it went down quickly, it did get blindsided, once by an attack that dealt double the damage normally to it, and the other it had a quad weakness to.

A little training in spacial awareness, and it would be a fine pokemon. And would be a massive help against Surge. From what little you'd managed to find out about the man, he didn't stick to general outlines of rules, he battled how he liked. One time you could lose to him in a one on one, and in the rematch, he'd steamroll you in a six on six.

So a Golem, plus Sandslash, and a possible Nidoqueen if you could get your hands on a moon stone, plus maybe that Rhydon would be a massive help just in case.

But in the end, you couldn't tear the family apart. It was tempting to catch them all, just to keep them altogether and get the strongest to help you out. But, you figured it would be incredibly hard to secure the help of a parent raging over their kids getting the crap kicked out of them.

Because that's what Nidorina, as a Nidoran did. She kicked the ever loving shit out of them with Supersonic and Double Kick. Poor things didn't stand a chance.

So you continued on your way. Well, after celebrating with your two newly evolved pokemon. Sandslash was definitely warming up to you now that he'd shown such an obvious increase in strength. He might even like you a decent bit now.

Still, it wasn't long before you were on your way, switching the both of them out for Charmander to let them get a rest. Plus, the little guy liked it when you put responsibility on him alone, made him feel strong you think.

You didn't manage to run into any other pokemon for the next two hours of your hike again. Though, the reason why soon became apparent.

With a boom of thunder, a thick bolt of electricity tore through the air, piercing up into the clouds.

"Brriii!" a garbed roar filled the air.

Charmander immediately jumped into action, taking up a defensive position in front of you. And together, you both cautiously made your way over to peak up at the rocky ledge where the bolt was fired from.

Atop it, winging its arms around rapidly, body crackling with a powerful coat of lightning, was an Electabuzz!

"Elect!" it roared, thrusting out its chest and expanding its aura of electricity outwards, and firing it up as another massive bolt of electricity, right into the cloud it had aimed at before. And just like the time before, the thick yellow bolt of power tore a hole right through it, drawing a shout of frustration from the electric type pokemon.

"An Electabuzz!" you exclaimed.

The electric type must have heard you, how it did over the din of booming thunder was beyond you, but it did. The yellow and black humanoid pokemon dropped its cloak of electricity, and looked at at you curiously, "Buzz?"

Its eyes lit up when it noticed you, and you saw its eyes trail from Charmander, to the pokeballs on your belt. It let out an excited holler, and bounded off of the ledge before you could blink, swinging down towards you excitedly like a Mankey. "Elect!" it cheered, eye smiling.

Charmander snarled at the electric type as it landed before you both nimbly, powerful padded feet slapping into the rocky mountain top with ease. It ignored Charmander for a second and pointed at you, then itself and began hopping up and down, throwing shadow punches through the air.

You understood.

"You wanna battle?" you asked.

"Brii!" Electabuzz nodded, head shooting back and forth like a bobble head.

You smirked, "Well, I'm fine with that, but if you lose, I'm gonna capture you." you replied.

If anything, that just made Electabuzz even more excited.

"You good for this?" you asked the fire type beside you.

"Mander!" Charmander raised a clenched fist and nodded. Good, good. You honestly didn't see what Cross's problem was. did he just load it up with Tm's and expect it to be instantly strong or something?

The stupid prick. You'd make sure to rub his face in how strong Charmander got later.

"Alright, bring it on Electabuzz!" you challenged the electric type.

"Brii!" Electabuzz barely gave any warning before it exploded forward in a quick attack, one large fist crackling with electricity slamming into Charmander's stomach before the little lizard could react.

Hmm, odd. You're sure you could have reacted to that.

Charmander cried out as he was punched into the air. But showing that grit he had shown since you got him, the little fire type righted himself in mid-air, flames pooling in his mouth.

"Yeah, Flamethrower!" you shouted.

Charmander struck back, blasting a massive torrent of flame that struck Electabuzz in the chest before it could dodge itself, blasting it back a good dozen or so feet.

It hit the ground hard, just as Charmander cut off his attack and landed. But in moments, the large electric type jumped to its feet and began pounding its chest with both of its large fists

Suddenly, Electabuzz stopped, thrusting both arms out and conjuring a shower of energy stars that shot from around its arms towards Charmander.

"Ember!" you ordered swiftly.

Charmander met the energy stars head on, firing dozens of small flame pellets from his mouth. What it lacked in size and power compared to Flamethrower, it made up for in sheer number and speed.

The stars were shot down before they reached Charmander, and the little fire type kept up the attack, even as Electabuzz speared forward in another Quick Attack, running right into the flame pellets.

It grunted, but didn't try to dodge at all, instead it shot right through, taking the damage, to unleash another Thunderpunch into Charmander's stomach that lifted him off the ground again, and then used its other hand to deal another.

One, two, three, six and more electrified punches Electabuzz began laying into Charmander's stomach, keeping the fire type aloft with each punch.

"Flamethrower, cut it off!" you shouted to your pokemon, gripping his pokeball hesitatingly. Obviously Ember wouldn't be enough to shake it off. Though, you didn't want to just let him take a beating like that.

Charmander's mouth pooled with flames, but before he could unleash them, Electabuzz delivered another blow into his stomach that cut his breath off, choking the fire type.

"Damn it, Charmander ret-" you were about to call him back, when the fire type's eyes snapped to yours despite the electric assault he was under. Then he roared, voice deeper than it ever was before.

He exploded into bright light and Elecabuzz was stunned, trying to shield its eyes from the sudden blinding light that hit them. Stunned as it was, it couldn't react to the torrent of compressed flame your glowing pokemon unleashed and was carried dozens of feet back, roaring in pain from the sudden burning that hit its chest.

Charmander, blindingly white fell to the ground and you watched as his form grew much larger, easily doubling in size, and a thick horn like shape grow from the back of his head.

And when the light died away, in Charmander's place, was now a tall powerfully built Charmeleon!

"Meleon!" he roared, spitting a gout of flame into the air, and you noted his flames were much darker orange now.

He pointed a clawed finger at the downed Electabuzz struggling to its feet, and then to your utter surprise, exploded forward with a very familiar white energy coating his legs.

Charmeleon returned the favour, electricity sparking around one of his own fists and driving an impressive uppercut into Electabuzz's chin just as the electric type forced its way to its feet.

Electabuzz groaned in pain and the force of the blow lifted it into the air. But Charmeleon wasn't done. Quick Attack still enhancing his legs, the fire type jettisoned into the air and grabbed Electabuzz by the tail with both arms and began to rapidly rotate in the air, building up a lot of speed, before throwing Electabuzz down into the ground with all his might.

Quick Attack, into Thunderpunch, into Siesmic Toss. You whistled as Electabuzz hit the ground hard, cratering the rocky area with ease and falling limp in the hole it made.

Charmeleon landed and shaped two clawed fingers into a V-shape and held them over his eye, "Char!" he posed to celebrate his victory.

"Way to go buddy!" you praised him, clapping your hands.

Charmeleon beamed and bounded towards you, you noted he ran like on the parts of his feet just before his toes, legs inclined up a bit and making him seem a little taller, and it really amped up his speed.

"Meleon!" with a happy cry, he launched himself through the air towards you.

You caught him in your arms, hugging him tightly and spinning around to bleed off his momentum a bit. You noted how much heavier he was now as he hugged you back.

You celebrated with him happily for a good few minutes before you actually remembered Electabuzz and captured it, its pokeball blipping away to the Oak Ranch moments later.

Cobalt's Pokemon

Ivysaur - Level 29

Kingler - Level 27

Nidorina - Level 28

Sandslash - Level 29

Charmeleon - Level 27

Scyther - Level 27

Eevee - Level 14

Electabuzz - Level 28

Some asked for me to give a list of Cobalt's pokemon so they weren't so easily forgotten. There you go. And just to confirm. This is played as a quest. Kind of like a fusion between a story and a game. Therefor to map progress I initially used levels. And there is no level cap in this. So Lance and shit would have pokemon nearly in the level 300 range and so on.
