The New Normal - 9-6 - INTERLUDE - Whitney
🕑 Added 2024-04-08 06:00:08 +0000 UTCThe New Normal – 9-6 – INTERLUDE – Whitney
They had been throwing their all into their training, but while they pushed their Pokémon hard, they were always careful never to overly exhaust and tire out their Pokémon. It wasn’t healthy to do so.
But now, after having spent whatever time they had left training up their Pokémon to be as powerful as they could be with all their training and sparring, the three of them knew they couldn’t put it off any longer.
If they were going to be in time to participate in this year’s Indigo Conference, then they were going to have to make a formal challenge and defeat Giovanni.
Were they fully prepared for the fight? It was difficult to judge. As the final Gym Leader of Kanto, Giovanni was a major roadblock that Whtiney knew many trainers failed to overcome. Some would never be able to conquer Giovanni, no matter how many times they tried. Many others gave up before then.
He was the final wall that served as the gatekeeper for the Indigo Conference.
So they knew they were rushing things when they decided to challenge him during their first year of their circuit. She knew that her brother had successfully done so, but she didn’t find such comparisons helpful.
And even then, her brother was still much older than her during his attempt, and he had been training with his Pokémon for far longer than her. He had told her that his Slaking was pretty much fully grown and trained by the time he even fought against Giovanni. In contrast, her Miltank still had some ways to go.
But that was part of the challenge and the appeal. They all recognized that if they wanted to get decently far into the Indigo Conference, then they would have to push themselves like this. Barring herself, Sabrina and Janine were both going to be Gym Leaders in the future, and they would have to live up to the expectations and demands of said role. Getting used to the pressures of a difficult fight was par for the course.
That was why, after a short rest day of little training to allow their Pokémon to fully relax and reinvigorate themselves for the upcoming fight, they finally walked into the Viridian Gym, this time as official challengers.
As they headed inside, Sabrina nudged her with her shoulder and gestured with her head to the seating area, where a happy Silver was waving excitedly at them. She did her best to put a smile on her face and wave back, trying not to let her nerves get to her.
Technically, even if she or her friends lost against Giovanni this time, they still had one or two more tries against him before the open qualifiers for the Indigo Conference began. So while she didn’t necessarily have to win on her first try, she was still determined to. She and her friends had successfully defeated all of the Gym Leaders on their first attempt, and it would be quite disappointing to fail on the final hurdle.
As agreed, she would be the first to fight against Giovanni. And while she was friendly with Giovanni and even had a meal with him at her house, she knew that he was not going to go easy on her because of their connection.
He would hold to his duty as a Gym Leader.
They didn’t have to wait long before she was called to the front. Both her friends gave her encouraging pats on the back before she walked forward to meet Giovanni, who was already standing there with his arms crossed. As she walked to take her place, a sullen trainer walked past her with a drooping head. He had just been crushed by Giovanni, and for a moment the fear grew in her mind as she imagined herself in the same position.
It didn’t help that the battlefield in front of her had yet to be fully repaired. The ground was still scarred and shattered from their earlier battle, a great demonstration of the overwhelming power that she knew Giovanni possessed.
But she quickly shook that off. John wouldn’t be scared here. And she had her friends watching behind her. She wouldn’t lose in front of them.
They would ALL succeed. Together.
As she took her spot opposite Giovanni, the referee moved to speak up, but he was quickly silenced as Giovanni raised a lone arm.
“Whitney, it’s very good to see you. I always knew that you had the potential to face me ever since I first met you.” Giovanni told her with a friendly smile, catching her by surprise as he completely shattered his image of being a stoic and stern Gym Leader. That got the crowd whispering, and she could just barely make out that they were wondering how they knew each other.
“Oh! Um…Thank you, Giovanni, but I’m just trying to my parents and John proud.” She mumbled out, a little less confidently than she would have liked. The arena was being repaired as they talked.
He just chuckled, “I’m sure they would be plenty proud already. You’ve even got a fan in my son. Isn’t that right, Silver?”
“YEAH! GO WHITNEY!!!!!” Silver cheered shamelessly, ignoring the stares from the other audience members that turned his way. But she saw that a few of the more opportunistic audience members immediately started shifting their way towards Silver, obviously wanting to befriend the son of a famous Gym Leader.
But her friends were already on it. Sabrina simply sat next to Silver and stared at them deeply with her bright blue eyes, as if daring them to approach. They didn’t.
All the while Silver remained completely unaware and innocent of the Ekans that surrounded him. But that was for the better.
She turned back to Giovanni with a slight smile, “Your son is nice – he’s kinda like the younger brother I never had.”
“Your parents aren’t that old, maybe that—” Giovanni let out a cough as he quickly cut himself off from whatever he was going to say, “Never mind that, ignore what I just said. Let’s not go into that conversation.”
Whitney tilted her head confusedly, but didn’t question him further. Then, Giovanni’s mood dropped, and his face turned serious once again. “I think that’s enough talk. Are you ready, challenger Whitney?”
She nodded, and she forcefully shoved aside all other thoughts as she stared down Giovanni, a Pokéball already clutched in her hand.
This was it. This was going to the hardest Pokémon battle of her life so far. But it was also her greatest opportunity to show her family just how much she had grown. If she was going to stay at the same level of her friends, who would both turn out to become Gym Leaders when they grew up, then she could not fail here.
“THIS IS GOING TO BE A 8-BADGE 3V3 MATCH BETWEEN CHALLENGER WHITNEY AND GYM LEADER GIOVANNI! TRAINERS, ARE YOU READY!?”
She would defeat Giovanni, here and now.
“BEGIN!”
“Go! Wigglytuff!”
“Test your mettle, Sandslash.”
A Sandstorm immediately set in on the battlefield as Sandslash entered the battlefield. But even as visibility began to go down from all of the sandy winds, the polished sheen of Sandslash’s razor sharp claws remained visible. They gleamed threateningly, underlining the threat that Giovanni’s Sandslash radiated despite its small stature.
Whitney knew from her studies that her Wigglytuff would not be able to take more than a few hits from those claws before going down. So she was going to have to play to her strengths.
“Start off with a Reflect, Wigglytuff!”
“Swords Dance now, Sandslash.”
“Interrupt with a Taunt!”
Before Sandslash could even start setting up, Whitney replicated Karen’s favourite trick and shut down that attempt before it could get going. Sandslash’s eyes rapidly grew enraged, and it couldn’t help itself but rush towards her Wigglytuff.
“Metal Claw, Sandslash!”
Understanding that there was no dissuading his Pokémon, Giovanni instead opted to hit as hard as possible, taking advantage of Steel’s supereffectiveness against Wigglytuff’s newly revealed Fairy type. And in the Sandstorm, Sandslash was moving even faster than usual thanks to its Sand Rush ability.
Not for long though.
“Skill Swap, Wigglytuff!”
This time taking a page from Sabrina’s methods, her Wigglytuff’s eyes flashed blue for a moment before a Psychic link shot out from Wigglytuff, latching onto the charging Sandslash. Within an instant, Sandslash’s tripped over itself as it suddenly lost its ability and boosted speed, while her Wigglytuff sped up considerably under the Sandstorm.
And she took full advantage of this brief moment of confusion, “ICE PUNCH!”
“Rollout backwards!” Giovanni tried.
She had to fight back a smirk. Trying to use Rollout against her? Bad idea. Her Pokémon probably had more practice with the move than most other trainers.
They knew how to hit a target in Rollout.
And so, with her now boosted speed, Wigglytuff charged forwards and caught up to Sandslash in an instant. Sandslash immediately curled into a ball and attempted to roll away from the Incoming Ice Punch, but Wigglytuff easily predicted its movements and smashed her fist straight into the retreating Sandslash.
The fist caught Sandslash at an awkward angle, and it tumbled out of its Rollout with a pained groan, disoriented slightly by the supereffective punch. Continuing to use her superior speed with Sand Rush, her Wigglytuff followed up with a barrage of Ice Punches as she took full advantage of Sandslash’s disorientation.
But in her eagerness to deliver a pummelling, she had overextended. Suddenly, Wigglytuff’s next Ice punch was parried by claws plated with Steel, knocking her arm wide and leaving her completely exposed. Before Wigglytuff could recover, Sandslash stepped forwards and raked a powerful Metal Claw across Wigglytuff’s body, slashing through her supereffectively.
If only her Wigglytuff could hit harder, then Sandslash wouldn’t have been able to fight back like that. But there was no time for those kinds of thoughts now. She had to extract Wigglytuff from this situation.
“ROLLOUT BACKWARDS!”
“Punish it with an Earthquake, Sandslash!”
Despite the pain, her Wigglytuff threw herself backwards and transformed into a rolling ball, making full use of all that Rollout training that she did with Miltank and quickly making her escape as she rolled away from the Sandslash. Sandslash countered by lifting its claws into the air as the ground began to shake violently, but Wigglytuff once again demonstrated her mastery of Rollout by simply hopping into the air before she could be caught by the tremors from the Earthquake.
“Reflect, Wigglytuff!” She ordered, trying to set up the Reflect again after it had been previously interrupted by her need to Taunt the Sandslash. It was essential that this be set up.
“Enough is enough. Overwhelm it with Stone Edge, Sandslash.”
But Giovanni moved swiftly to punish her attempts to set up. The incoming storm of rocks was devastatingly overwhelming. Even with the defence and shielding from the Reflect, Wigglytuff let out a cry of pain as she was constantly battered by the barrage of sharp rocks that endlessly slammed into her.
To make matters worse, in the corner of her eye she could tell that a few rocks were lingering ominously around the battlefield, just waiting to strike at her next Pokémon. Giovanni had managed to sneak in a Stealth Rock in his Stone Edge.
But that was a problem for later, “PSYCHIC!”
With ease that came with repeated practice, Wigglytuff immediately fired off a Psychic that shattered the incoming rocks, buying her some much needed breathing room. But in that brief moment where she was focused on the rapid volley of rocks and the ever-present Sandstorm, she had lost track of Sandslash.
Her eyes widened with alarm as she predicted what would happen next, “PROTECT NOW!”
But her Wigglytuff couldn’t react in time as Sandslash came erupting out from the ground with a Dig, slamming into Wigglytuff from below. Then it immediately followed up with a dual slash from its Metal Claws that, despite the Reflect shield, still shredded Wigglytuff’s health. Just as they trained, Wigglytuff instinctively unleashed a point blank Hyper Voice that slammed into Sandslash, and the Sand Rush gave her the speed to smash another Ice Punch to Sandslash’s face.
Yet Wigglytuff’s lack of power showed itself once again, as her Ice Punch didn’t hit hard enough to cause Sandslash to flinch – allowing it to counter with a Poison Jab that smashed into her mouth, silencing her Wigglytuff.
Unfortunately, her Wigglytuff was never the tankiest of Pokémon, and she came crashing into the ground after taking that deadly combo of attacks.
“Earthquake and finish it off, Sandslash.”
“THERE’S NO NEED!” She interrupted, “I’m retiring my Wigglytuff.”
Giovanni immediately raised an arm, and Sandslash quickly cancelled its Earthquake as Whitney withdrew her near-fainted Wigglytuff back into her ball. Though it looked like she was on the backfoot, she had always recognized that besides her recently evolved Exploud and Miltank, none of her remaining Pokémon were really able to match Giovanni’s Pokémon one-on-one like this.
So the priority was to do as much damage as possible and, more importantly, set up some key moves that would help her real powerhouses to win the fight.
That was why establishing that Reflect was so crucial for her next Pokémon.
“Come, Exploud!”
Her Exploud stomped onto the field to signal her arrival, but that was rudely interrupted as the Stealth Rocks that had been set up earlier suddenly jabbed into her sides. Using this brief moment of distraction, Sandslash immediately rushed to face down the new threat, incorrectly assuming that it could face Exploud the same way that it took down Wigglytuff.
It was wrong.
“Boomburst!”
“Dig to dodge, Sandslash!”
Sandslash immediately burrowed in the ground, intending to use the ground as a cover to dodge out of the way of Exploud’s attack. But the Boomburst was not a regular attack that could be so easily dodged, as the pure physical force of the sonic waves literally ripped the ground out in front of it.
The Boomburst tore out a huge trench in the ground as it blasted Sandslash out of its Dig, sending it flying from the sheer power of the attack alone.
“Protect, Sandslash!”
“Hit it again, Exploud!”
As Sandslash flew through the air, it tried to set up a Protect shield in hopes of buying enough time for it to reorient itself. But that was a fool’s dream, as Exploud had more than enough stamina to simply unleash another deafening boom of sonic power. The first was partially blocked by the Protect shield, but Exploud simply set out another booming wave of ear-shattering energies that crashed painfully against the defenseless Sandslash.
Sandslash even tried lifting its claws up in a desperate attempt to block out the tidal wave of aural energy, but it was a futile attempt. Sandslash’s mediocre Special Defenses were nowhere near sufficient to allow it to withstand the power of tanking through repeated Boombursts, and it soon fell to Exploud’s unrelenting onslaught of attacks. It was doomed the moment it had gotten caught in one of her Boombursts.
Withdrawing his Sandslash, Giovanni wasted no time in sending out his next Pokémon.
“Rhydon, it’s your turn.”
Whitney blinked; not having expected to see Rhydon this early. She would have thought that Giovanni would have saved this for his last Pokémon. Why was he sending it out now?
“Dig, Rhydon!”
“Punish it with an Earthquake, Exploud!”
To Whitney’s complete confusion, just like its teammate before it, Rhydon immediately began burrowing into the ground. But all that did was to give her an easy opportunity to do heavy damage to it with an Earthquake.
The ground shook and ripped apart at the seams as Exploud’s Earthquake resonated explosively through it. But despite the damage, Giovanni made no effort to change course, instead just continuing to stare at Whitney with an implacable look on his face. But, upon closer inspection, it looked like he was giving her a really subtle look of warning.
The realization of what Giovanni’s plan was hit her a second too late, and Rhydon came ripping out of the ground as it bodied Exploud with its Dig.
To Exploud’s credit, it was ready for the surprise attack and narrowly dodged out of the way of the incoming Hammer Arm. Exploud immediately tried to counterattack with an Ice Fang, but Rhydon moved quicker, slamming a harsh Brick Break to the face and sending Exploud reeling backwards.
A frown fell on her face as she realised that that she had underestimated Giovanni’s willingness to sacrifice his Rhydon’s health just to sneak an attack in. No, it wasn’t that much of a sacrifice anyways thanks to Rhydon’s impressive defense.
And now Rhydon had gotten in close, denying Exploud the ability to make use of her powerful Special Attacks.
“Close the distance, Rhydon! Don’t let up!” Rhydon roared and rushed forwards, rapidly closing the distance.
“Ice Beam, Exploud! Hit it hard and make some distance!” She knew she had to deter Rhydon’s approach. Her Exploud was still too frail to take hits like that.
A beam of Ice was instantly unleashed from Exploud’s gaping mouth, but Rhydon did its best to ignore it as it raised an arm in a partial attempt to block the attack. It wasn’t very successful, and Rhydon let out a painful grunt as the Ice Beam began to freeze over one of its arms.
But it bought Rhydon enough time to smash a Hammer Arm straight down onto Exploud’s head, forcing Exploud’s to eat dirt as her head was pummelled unceremoniously into the ground.
But Exploud wasn’t completely helpless, and it spun around to deliver a quick Low Kick that knocked Rhydon’s legs out from under it. As Rhydon stumbled, Exploud pulled her head off the ground and fired an Ice Beam that blasted Rhydon straight in the face.
Rhydon growled in pain as its vision was blinded by the frost crystals that spread rapidly across its face, and it flailed its head wildly to try to shake off the crystals of ice. But another Ice Beam caught it in the chest, forcing Rhydon onto its knees from the pain of taking two back-to-back supereffective moves.
Her Ice Beams were devastatingly effective.
Another Ice Beam came charging up in Exploud’s mouth, looking to finish off the vulnerable Rhydon. But that was when the ground shook violently and an eruption of rocks suddenly shot out from the ground and ripped through Exploud, causing her to scream painfully as the rocks ripped through her; delivering a critical hit that left its Ice Beam forgotten.
Following up from that expertly delivered Stone Edge, Rhydon groaned as it tried to force itself to its feet to finish off the wounded Exploud – yet it remained trap within the cage of ice that kept it pinned to the ground, forcing Rhydon to carefully burn away the ice with a Fire Punch. At the same time, Exploud struggled but forced herself off the ground as she took laboured and pained breaths.
It had been a quick and brutal battle that left both Pokémon seeing better days.
The tubes scattered across Exploud’s face were hanging limply, and the hits that she took to the jaw left her mouth bruised and unable to fully open. On the other hand, Rhydon was hardly doing better, with many patches of frost still scattered across its frame as an arm hung limply to its side. Even after having freed itself, its movements were still slow and stiff from the lingering vestiges from all of the Ice that it was struck by.
In moments like these, it was commonplace for the trainers to stare each other down, allowing their Pokémon to take a breath while trying to predict whatever move the other was going to use and making a perfect counter to finish off the other Pokémon.
But Whitney wasn’t going to do that, and she didn’t give Giovanni even a single moment to think.
“BOOMBURST, EXPLOUD!”
She saw the slight alarm in Giovanni’s eyes as Exploud opened her mouth as wide as she could and unleashed a roaring explosion of noise, sending a tidal wave of aural energy towards the unprepared Rhydon.
While Ice Beam would have done more damage, Exploud was more familiar with Boomburst and could fire it off far quicker and with less preparation.
She was following an adage that she had learnt from Janine; it was better to hit fast and for less damage than to not hit at all. And in a situation where both Pokémon were basically on the verge of defeat, whoever struck first had every advantage.
And Janine’s words proved true. Caught unprepared like this, the slowed Rhydon had to cancel whatever it was planning as it shifted to pure defense, digging its heels into the ground to try to resist against the incoming tide of powerful sonic energy.
However, despite normally resisting the Normal type attack with its Rock type, Rhydon was already so wounded that it could no longer hold its ground as Exploud’s last burst of concentrated sonic energy overwhelmed its defenses and launched it backwards, helplessly flying through the air until it crashed unconscious near the edge of the arena.
Exploud collapsed onto her knees, gasping and wheezing as she expended the last of her energies. Yet she had done all that she needed to, and Whitney sent a relieved and thankful nod towards her Pokémon before also retiring her from the fight.
Exploud’s endurance may still need more work, but her offense was unquestionably solid.
“You’ve done quite well for yourself, Whitney.” Giovanni smiled kindly at her as he withdrew his fallen Rhydon, “It’s been a long time since someone so young has managed to push me to my final Pokémon.”
“Thank you, but I know the fight isn’t over yet.” She replied.
“True enough, and I know you’re just itching to make use of your Miltank, so I won’t disturb your concentration any longer. Let’s see how you deal with this.” And with that, they both threw out their final Pokémon.
“Miltank! Time to shine!”
“Swampert.”
Whitney’s eyes widened – she was NOT expecting this. Since when did Giovanni manage to get his hands on a Swampert? She didn’t know Giovanni even had a Swampert. Was he training this up to be on his main team?
She stared questioningly at Giovanni, but all he did was give her a knowing grin. Could he have been reading her thoughts?
But a reassuring Moo came out from her partner, and she forced herself to focus on the fight. She gave a nod back to Miltank, telling her that she had her head back in the fight.
Surprise or not, she trusted that her Miltank would handle it. After all, Swampert was not Tyrant.
“Go for it, Miltank!”
“Muddy Water, Swampert!”
Shrugging off the annoyance of the Stealth Rocks, Miltank immediately broke out into her now signature Rollout as she started rolling across the battlefield, rapidly picking up speed as she charged towards the Swampert. In response, a huge tidal wave of brown and blue was unleashed, threatening to swallow Miltank in an endless wave of water.
But Miltank simply bounced off the ground and into the air, easily avoiding the tidal wave before she was caught up in it.
“Hydro Pump, Swampert! Shoot it out of the air!”
A blue, swirling vortex of concentrated water started gathering in Swampert’s mouth before a sweeping torrent of water blasted across the battlefield. But without even needing her to give any instructions, Miltank suddenly stopped herself in mid-air and slammed into the ground, continuing her rollout as she tunnelled into the ground before she could get hit by the Hydro Pump.
“EARTHQUAKE, NOW!”
Caught off-guard by Miltank’s ridiculous mobility, Swampert tried to fire off an Earthquake, but it was too late.
Miltank had reached her target.
Swampert was sent reeling as Miltank smashed into it with the momentum of her fully charged Rollout, before transitioning into a Hammer Arm that interrupted sent Swampert’s head crashing to the ground while Miltank brutally dragged its head across the coarse and rocky surface.
Swampert immediately tried retaliating by snaking out with its fists, aiming straight for Miltank’s soft belly, but Miltank caught its arm with one of her own before lifting Swampert entirely with her arms and suplexing it over her shoulder and slamming it painfully into the ground.
And just like she had watched John’s Slaking do countless of times in all of his battles, Miltank was trained to give Swampert no quarter. No chance to breathe. No opportunity to counterattack.
All it could do was to suffer through Miltank’s endless pummelling.
Whitney knew that Swampert was probably the more powerful of the two Pokémon on paper. Miltank still had a long way to go before she could match the power or raw battlelust of John’s Slaking. But what she lacked in power, she could make up for in pure, violent brutality.
A Hammer Arm came crashing down once again straight into Swampert’s face, cutting off the Ice Beam that it had been charging up in its mouth. But she didn’t hit hard enough to stagger Swamper through its massive defenses, and Swampert lashed out with a Low Kick, trying to trip up Miltank and buy it time to recover.
But despite tripping over, Miltank managed to hang on by grabbing onto Swampert’s shoulders and smashing a savage Zen Headbutt into its face, keeping up the momentum of her attacks and never allowing Swampert an opportunity to reorient itself. Another Hammer Arm met Swampert face-first as she bashed the Water type into the ground.
Yet Swampert proved incredibly resilient as it tanked through another Hammer Arm to the face from Miltank and counterattacked with its own surprise Brick Break that struck painfully into Miltank’s stomach.
The Normal type let out a pained groan, and Swampert forced itself up as it delivered a powerful uppercut to the chin that had Miltank’s head snapping back.
Yet both trainer and Pokémon knew that to give up the momentum right now to Swampert was to lose the battle. Swampert was the better Pokémon.
The momentum HAD to be regained. They could not afford to fall onto the backfoot, and both trainer and Pokémon knew it.
“GIGA IMPACT! FINISH IT!” Whitney shouted, knowing that this would be the moment that she could finally take the first step into achieving her dream.
And despite not being able to read minds, in that one moment, Whitney could FEEL the connection that she had to Miltank suddenly glowing with intensity. As if her hopes and dreams were suddenly transferred over into Miltank.
And even though Miltank wasn’t even looking her way, she knew that – in this single moment – the two were in perfect sync with each other.
Both Pokémon and trainer had the same dream. Had the same goal. They were raised together, they had grown up together, and they spent almost every waking moment with each other. The bond between trainer and Pokémon had long surpassed the traditional bonds of a trainer. They were family. They were partners. They were one in the same.
And they WOULD NOT LOSE!
Even though she was being knocked backwards, Miltank forced herself to regain her stance as her eyes suddenly grew alight with raw energy, with raw determination, before she exploded into an aura of orange and white. She left a huge gouge in the ground as she shot forwards, the pain from the Brick Break long forgotten, ripping through everything in her wake as she collided straight into the wounded and surprised Swampert, carrying it alongside her as she continued her charge.
If Swampert was the final barrier from her achieving her dreams, then Miltank would SMASH past it.
Swampert let out a painful wail as the two of them slammed into the Psychic barrier, causing a spiderweb of cracks to spread out from the point of impact while the barriers flickered uncertainly.
But it didn’t end there. Ignoring all of its built up exhaustion and injuries, Miltank was roaring with energy as she remained empowered by the hopes and dreams of her trainer.
Suddenly, a white light filled the room once again. But it was not the familiar white light of an evolution. It was the threatening white and orange light of Miltank charging up yet another Giga Impact.
Having seen Tyrant do so effortlessly over and over again, Miltank was now following in his steps.
And with a deafening explosion and the sound of the psychic barriers shattering before her, Miltank charged forwards once again, blasting forwards like a rocket to the stars themselves as she crashed into the Swampert for the final time with another Giga Impact.
The psychic barriers surrounding the arena were shattered. And with it, so was Swampert. She had broken through the final barrier on her path.
She had won.
A.N. Whitney has done it! Acquiring her 8th and final Gym Badge. Throughout all of Whitney’s Gym Battles that I’ve shown, I’ve tried my best to portray Whitney’s strength in a different way.
With Flint and the Waterflower sisters, I showed off just how much stronger she was than a regular trainer. Then with Koga, I showed off her mastery of Rollout and what that allows her Miltank to do. With Blaine, I showed off her ability to work as a team to take down a much stronger opponent.
And finally, with Giovanni, I tried to show that she is able to pick up everything that she had learnt thus far, from all of her friends and family, to overcome the last Gym Leader. And of course, I wanted to show off the bond that she had with Miltank, allowing the latter to surpass her usual limits and to take the first step into becoming the most ridiculous Miltank that’s ever been seen.
I really hoped you enjoyed it.

I've always thought that Miltank, Tauros and Boufallant should have a baby form like how the Hitmons have Tyrouge. They've always seemed like second stage pokemon who are loosely connected to me lol
The Tallest Tree
Good stuff! Go Whitney! Go Miltank!
