Sorry for the delay. I forgot updating bonus chapter.
*******************
"Fuyuki, my name is Fuyuki."
"Looking at you, you don't seem like a Trainer challenging a Gym for the first time. If that's the case, I won't go over the specific rules."
Brock leaped down from the rock chair and came to the front of the battle arena.
"This is the Pewter Gym. The rule is that each person is limited to two Pokémon. Let the match begin!"
Brock was the first to take out a Poké Ball.
Following a flash of white light, a massive Pokémon, composed entirely of giant rocks, appeared on the battle arena.
Onix!
Onix landed with a crash. Its gigantic body kicked up dust on the Pewter Gym's rock field, creating an imposing presence.
Entei was ready.
But Fuyuki stopped it.
"Dad, let Squirtle handle this battle!"
Entei nodded and retreated to Fuyuki's side.
Fuyuki took out Squirtle's Poké Ball. A white flash later, Squirtle's tiny body appeared before Onix.
Staring at the massive creature before it, Squirtle was startled. Its eyes were filled with fear, and it instinctively wanted to retreat and run back to its Trainer.
But... the moment Squirtle turned around, it suddenly thought: if it did that, Fuyuki would surely be very disappointed in it, right?
It might even be abandoned, just like how some Trainers discard weak Pokémon.
It didn't want that.
Squirtle tried hard to muster its courage.
"Squirtle, believe in yourself, and please believe in me!" Fuyuki's voice rang out from behind it.
"Squirtle!" Squirtle shouted back, emboldening itself.
Seeing this, Brock was slightly surprised.
But the battle had already begun, and now was not the time for conversation.
"Onix, use Tackle Attack!" Brock's voice boomed like a bell.
Onix's massive body charged toward Squirtle. For a moment, even the ground seemed to tremble.
Squirtle panicked momentarily, but fortunately, Fuyuki gave timely instructions the moment Onix charged.
"Water Gun!"
Squirtle suddenly opened its mouth into an O shape, its cheeks puffed out, and a jet of water shot out, heading straight for Onix.
Under the quadruple type advantage, Onix's charge halted as it cried out in pain.
"Onix, Bind!" Brock remained unfazed, issuing the command decisively.
Onix endured the pain, suddenly arched its body, and whipped its long tail toward Squirtle. Its massive rock body tightly coiled around Squirtle, continuously tightening its grip.
The immense force caused a look of pain to appear on Squirtle's face.
Facing this unavoidable attack, Fuyuki chose to meet it head-on.
"Water Gun!"
The trapped Squirtle gritted its teeth, its cheeks flushed red, and the Water-type energy within its body began to stir strangely.
Fuyuki keenly noticed this.
Torrent!
Squirtle's Ability, Torrent, had activated!
But Brock was not one to sit idly by. He immediately said in a deep voice, "Onix, continue increasing the pressure! Don't give it a chance to use Water Gun!"
"It's too late!" Fuyuki: "Give it your full-power shot!"
Squirtle's body was squeezed to its limit. Under the enhancement of Torrent and within Onix's crushing grip, an incredibly thick jet of water burst from its mouth, striking Onix's body at close range.
"Boom!"
A loud noise sounded, and Onix let out a painful wail. Its binding grip gradually loosened, and its massive body slumped powerlessly to the ground.
Onix, defeated!
Squirtle was panting heavily.
"Your Squirtle is very well-trained!" Seeing this, Brock took out a Poké Ball: "However, it's not over yet. Return, Onix! I'm counting on you, Geodude!"
"Squirtle, can you still battle?" Fuyuki asked.
"Squirtle!" Squirtle panted heavily. With its Torrent Ability activated, its Water-type moves were now greatly enhanced.
"Very good, then, let's go! Bubble Beam!"
"Geodude, your turn! Rock Throw!"
Both of them issued commands simultaneously.
Squirtle spewed countless bubbles from its mouth, while Geodude used rock power to condense chunks of falling rocks, which it hurled toward Squirtle.
Bubble Beam and Rock Throw collided mid-air. The bubbles condensed by water power were pierced by the sharp fragments of rock, turning into scattered water vapor that drifted down.
"Now, Rollout Attack!" Brock seized the moment of the collision. Geodude turned into a grey blur, rushing toward Squirtle with a sound of rushing wind.
"Water Gun!"
Squirtle might not have noticed, but Fuyuki, as its Trainer, constantly monitored the situation across the field, issuing the command the moment Geodude moved.
The timing of the command was perfect. Squirtle reacted sharply, aiming a high-pressure water jet at the ground and sliding backward several meters using the recoil force.
Geodude's Rollout missed, leaving a deep scratch mark on the ground. Due to inertia, it couldn't steady itself immediately.
"Water Gun!" Fuyuki pressed his advantage. Squirtle spewed a fierce Torrent of water from its mouth, blasting Geodude's body away.
Under the effect of Sacred Ash, the boost from Torrent, and the quadruple type advantage, the power of this move was terrifying. Geodude lost its ability to battle almost instantly.
"Return, Geodude!" Brock was not disheartened by the loss: "You truly are an excellent Trainer. In that case, this Stone Badge belongs to you!"
He took out a gray, rock-shaped Badge and handed it to Fuyuki.
The second Badge was acquired!
Fuyuki reached out and took it, grinning: "Thank you!"
"There are simply too few Trainers like you who understand type matchups." Brock shook his head. Many of the Trainers he had met before were rash youths who came to challenge him with Electric-type and Flying-type Pokémon.
Fuyuki couldn't help but want to laugh. Was Brock talking about Ash?
No, they must have arrived in Pewter City one step ahead of Ash. Otherwise, Brock would probably already be traveling with Ash and Misty.
"But is this Entei also your Pokémon?" Looking at the Legendary Pokémon, Brock felt a little curious.
"Pokémon?" Fuyuki shook his head: "No, he is the father who raised me."
"Father?" Brock froze instantly.
He hadn't misheard, had he? A Pokémon... is a human's father?
[Brock is unprecedentedly shocked that Entei is your father. shock points from Brock +200!]
Fuyuki ignored the deposit message on the panel and continued to explain: "When I first met him, I wasn't even one year old. Back then, Dad picked me up. If it weren't for Dad, I would probably be dead by now."
"So that's how it is..." Brock couldn't help but murmur.
He looked at Entei. As someone who dreamed of becoming a Breeder, he could see the love Entei had for Fuyuki in its eyes.
This truly was incredible!
This made Brock think of some irresponsible human fathers.
Truly... they couldn't even compare to a Pokémon.
Brock sighed internally, then escorted Fuyuki out of the Gym.
Brock wanted to say something more, but just then, a figure accompanied by thunder crashed down in front of them.
The moment he saw that Pokémon, Brock's eyes instantly widened.
Is that... Raikou?
What is going on?! Is today 'Legendary Pokémon Bulk Discount Day'? Why is he seeing another Legendary Pokémon?!
Raikou was glaring, looking extremely furious at Entei and Fuyuki.
"Entei, you've gone too far! Why have you deliberately taken a detour to avoid me?!"
Raikou roared, its voice containing thunderous fury.
"Little One is not just your child! You can't keep monopolizing him!"
