"Ok, now houndour, use a fire spin on that pigeoto!" flames circled the pigeoto. "pigio!!!" the pidgeoto yelled. "hurry pidgeoto, use gust before it hits you!" the pidgioto bursts its wings out, and the flames subsided. "now, use drill peck!" the pidgeoto began twisting itself, and launched at houndour! "hurry houndour! use flame thrower!" houndour opened its mout wide, and let out a burst of flames. the flames struck pidgeoto and knocked it off balance! it was also burned, and marthy had her chance. "ok, now use night shade!" hounder let out dark power over the pidgeoto, greatly injured. "ha, your not going to stop us that easy! use a brave bird!!" the pidgeoto tucked in its wings, and charged at houndour!"houndour! dodge!" but it was too late, the pidgeoto struck full force, and both of them flew back. it was obvious that both were greatly hurt, but who was hurt more? "houndour, dont give up! use a metal claw and try to slash it!" houndour began to run, and was only able to make one slash on pidgeoto untill houndour fell. "houndour! No!" the pidgeoto, still at greatly low HP, still stood. "allright, sneasle get in there and use ice beam!" sneasle jumped on the field and used a ice beam, but pidgeoto still flew away! "allright pidgeoto, use a whirlwind!" the pidgeoto waved its wings and sneasle fell over, but took little damage. "hurry, use the wind to power a shadow claw!" sneasle swiftly charged power and launched at pidgeoto, who was hit! Pidgeoto fell to the ground, unable to continue. "and the winner of the battle goes to marthy and her sneasle! "sneasle we did it, with houndour!" Falkner walked up to marthy. "that was excellent! your truely worthy of being a trainer. Here, take this and a TM of my favorite move, Gust!" he handed her a badge and a little TM. "thank you! now lets go sneasle and houndour, lets get healed at the pokemon center!" before she left, she noticed someone sitting on a bench. "hey, who are you? are you a Gym helper or something?"
