Happy be-lated Easter everyone! I'm holding true to my word about trying to update this story
more often! Enjoy!

Ash-"I came here to earn a Tree Badge and I'm not leaving without it!"

Maria-"You'll be leaving alright but not with a badge. You're gonna get creamed when you see
what I have in store."

Ash-"I'm not scared!"

Brock-"I would be. With the Pokemn she's got I would be."

Ash-"What are they?"

Brock-"Can't tell you. I was a Ggym Leader to you know."

Ash-"Oh yea. I forgot."

Maria-"Enough horseplay. Llet's get started."

Official-"Each person is allowed 3 Pokemon. If Ash wins, he will be presented a Tree Badge.
There is no time limit. Let the battle begin!"

Ash-"For my first Pokemon, I pick Bulbasaur!"

***He came out and stood there, ready to fight***

Maria-"Your Bulbasaur doesn't stand a chance! Go Beedirll!"

***Author Note***

I'm going to be calling Bulbasaur Bulb from now on okay?

Ash-"Your Beedrill is no match for my Bulb!"

Maria-"That's what you think. Beedril! Special Dance!"

Ash-"What is that?"

Maria-"No one has ever heard of this move but I asked Gym Officials if it was alright to use and
they said yes. What it does is lowers your Pokemon's HitPoints by 10 each time!"

Ash-"Impossible!"

Maria-"No. It's true. Now Beedrill, use your Spin Needle!"

Ash-"Bulb! Look out!"

***Bulb dodged the attack but the shockwaves hit him full force***

Ash-"Bulb! Can you still battle?"

***Bulb fell and fainted***

Official-"Bulb is unable to battle. The victory goes to Beedril!"

Maria-"So Ash. What Pokemon do you have for me next?"

Ash-"You'll see and it won't be pretty. I choose you! Charizard!"

Maria-"Oh a Charizard. I'm shaking in my bones now. NOT!"

Ash-"You will be."

Misty-"Careful how cocky you get Ash!"

Brock-"Yea! Maria's tough! You better watch out!"

Ash-"I know what I'm doing."

Maria-"Beedrill! Use Special Ddance again!"

Ash-"Okay Charizard! Burn that Beedrill's hind end to a crisp!"

***Gigantic flams shot out and hit Beedril***

Ash-"HA HA! YOU'RE BEEDRIL IS DOWN!"

Maria-"Don't be too sure. Beedrill just can't use Special Dance because of the burn but it is still
perfectly fine."

Ash-"WHA-? HOW?"

Maria-"My Beedril is at such a high level that it can withstand many fire attacks before it faints."

Ash-"Oh great."

Maria-"Beedrill! Use Horn Attack!"

Ash-"Charizard! Blow a continueous flame into it's face!"

***Ash's strategy worked. Beedrill couldn't move quick enough and

Beedrill fell to the ground, fainted***

Official-"Beedrill is unable to battle! Charizard wins!"

To be continued...

BWAHAHAHA! More suspense. Please review!
