I trained with Zag in the forest after finding nothing in the area I thought someone screamed from... and also got lost, so I continued training Zag by knocking down some pokemon. I mostly challenged Mankey's so Zag could build an immunity to its one weakness, which was a fighting type. And Zag didn't disappoint either. Zag gained a lot of eperiance points and learned a few new moves aside from the ones he was already taught.
"Maybe we should go back to the city now Zag," I told my zigzagoon.
Then we heard a growl and a female Shinx came out from behind forest trees, wanting a battle. I had never seen a Shinx before and they looked pretty cool to me, so maybe... I'll catch this one.
Shinx apparently had the ability intimidate because it was trying to scare Zag, but to no avail because Zag was clearly at the higher level. "Zag, use Headbutt!"
Zag zigzagged right at Shinx and Shinx countered by tackling right into the headbutt, but only hurt itself. Shinx fell and landed on its side and attempted to get up but collapsed. "All right, you're mine Shinx!" then I threw a pokeball at the pokemon, which rumbled and shook a few times until it stopped and I picked it up.
I smiled, "Sweet, now we can go back to the city."
Both Zag and I left to the nearest city and came into the pokemon center to heal my new Shinx that I named Zari because of her fiesty adittude she gave me in the forest. "Hey, did you hear about the battle tent challenge?" someone mentioned.
I blinked and took up both my pokemon. "Yeah, I heard the gym leader was participating and battling against some weak chumps to train her pokemon," the other trainer replied.
"Excuse me," I came up to them with Zag in my hands, "What are you talking about?"
"Heh, not like you'd be strong enough to enter from the looks of your pokemon, but we're talking about the battle tent that just came up," the trainer told me.
"Oh really?" I asked in an unimpressed manner, "So where is the battle tent?"
"Close to the pokemon center, you better hurry if you want to enter, they're going to stop taking in people in a few minutes."
I nodded and walked out with my pokemon. "All right, thanks."
I went over to the tent and made it in the nick of time. "What pokemon would you like to enter?"
"My Zigzagoon," I replied, smiling.
"Are you sure?" she asked doubtfully, "Rarely many people enter a normal type pokemon."
"I'm positive," I said and she sighed.
"All right... Go on in."
I walked into the battle room and it seemed to be pretty big. There were a few other trainers in the room along with me. "What pokemon type would you like to go up against?" I was asked.
"Fighting type," I said straight out.
After I said that, a girl walked into the room and was smiling confidently. "Easy win," she said and threw out a machop.
"You'd be surprised," I replied and sat Zag on the ground.
"Begin!"
"Machop, use Seismic Toss!" she commanded.
"Dig!" I told Zag.
Machop tried to grab Zag, but Zag slipped through his grip by digging underground. "Keep your guard up Machop!" she told her pokemon.
If I knew anything from when we trained with the mankeys though, they were a lot quicker and stronger than a machop due to their rage. Zag didn't dig far though because Machop stayed near the hole, hoping that if it did that, it couldn't get hit. Zag came up from behind Machop though. "Headbutt!"
Zag slammed his head against Machop's back and shoved the pokemon into the hole my Zag had dug previously. And Machop was down for the count. "First round's mine."
