Fourteenth Launch
[[Video (Action for those in Azalea Town)]]
[So after talking to a couple of people, Athrun steeled his nerves and set foot in the Azalea Town Gym, where he made his formal challenge to Bugsy, the gym leader.
What followed was not...the most exciting of matches. Athrun's Pidgeot made quick work of Bugsy's Pinsir and even quicker work of his Heracross. Scizor, however?]
Don't think it'll take just a couple of attacks to stop Scizor! Iron Defense!
It doesn't matter how strong your defenses get, we'll just keep chipping away! Pidgeot, switch to Gust!
[Pidgeot's attack blew Scizor back into a wall. It climbed back up, ready to continue the fight, but it wasn't looking in the best of shape.]
Come on, Scizor, we can still win if we don't let him land a hit! Use Agility!
You're not the only one who can get his Pokémon to move faster! Pidgeot, use Agility yourself!
[The two Pokémon both sped up.]
Now, one more time! GUST!
[And Pidgeot blasted the Scizor into the wall again. This time, it failed to get up.
Then the feed cut out, to be reestablished a few minutes later, displaying Athrun holding a badge:]
Two down, six to go!
