"Okay, everyone inside your pokeball," said Truf. "Pika pi," said Pikachu shaking his head. "Do you want an apple, Pikachu?" Pikachu shook his and head and pointed to Truf's candy bar. "Okay, Pikachu you can have this candy bar." Pikachu nodded and went into the pokeball. "Charmander, what about you?" Charmander nodded and went into the pokeball.

"Nurse Joy, will you heal my Pokemon?" "No problem, I see you got your Pokemon Trainer's License," said Nurse Joy. The machine healed Pikachu and Charmander and Truf picked them up. Truf called them out and gave Pikachu the candy bar. Charmander started eating an apple. After they were done Truf, Charmander, and Pikachu left the Pokemon Center. "Okay, let's go to Brock's Gym.

They headed over to the Pokemon Gym. Truf looked around. "Is anyone here?" asked Truf. "Where's Brock? Hey, maybe he's home." Truf got on his bike and picked up Charmander. Then he reached over and picked up Pikachu. They rode to Brock's house. Truf rang the doorbell. "Whaaaaaaa! I want my breakfast," cried a girl. Ther door opened and a man stepped out. "Hello there, who are you?" he asked. "I'm Truf. I'm looking for Brock," replied Truf. "Brock went off with Ash and Misty," the man said. "Huh? Ash and Brock went off together? Oh no! I didn't know Ash knew Brock. Oh well. I guess I can't win a Boulder badge," said Truf. "Quite on the contrary. You will have to challenge me," replied the man. "I'm Brock's father."

They walked over to the gym. "Okay, this is a two on two match," said Brock's dad. "Okay, I chose you Pikachu," said Truf. "Go Geodude!" said Brock's dad. "Geo dude," said Geodude. "Pikachu, Thundershock!" Pikachu hits Geodude. "Geodude, tackle." Geodude hits Pikachu. "Pikachu, use Quick Attack." Pikachu hits Geodude. Geodude tries to tackle Pikachu but Pikachu evades. "Pikachu, Agility now!" Pikachu uses agility and gains speed. "Geodude use Harden." Geodude hardens itself while Pikachu uses Thundershock. Geodude is very hurt. "Geodude return." Geodude returns to his pokeball. Someone spies on them through the window. Brock's dad thinks it over. "Okay go Pikachu!" says Brock's dad. "Huh?!" exclaims Truf. "My pokemon don't have to be all rock pokemon. Unlike my son I collect other kinds often." "Wow!," says a voice. "Another Pikachu. I can't believe I'm the only one who doesn't have one!" It was the girl who Truf met in Viridian Forest. "I followed you here. Why didn't you look for me at the Pokemon Center?" "Oh no, I forgot. I'm sorry. I got to caught up with fighting Brock. Why didn't you call to me instead of following me?" said Truf. "I wanted to find out what you were doing. I see Pikachu is doing great."

"Pikachu use Quick Attack," says Truf. Pikachu rams into the other Pikachu. "Pikachu, Thunder now!" says Brock's dad. The Pikachu starts loafing around. "Pikachu use Swift," says Truf. Pikachu hits the other Pikachu. "Use Thunderbolt. The Pikachu starts sleeping. "Huh, why is your Pikachu sleeping? Pikachu use Swift," says Truf. Truf's Pikachu uses Swift. The Pikachu continues sleeping. "What's going on?" asks Truf. "Pikachu, return," says Brock's dad. "I need more experience before I can control my Pikachu. I got my Pikachu from a trade. Its level is very high and it won't obey me. Besides I'm not the real Pokemon Gym leader here. You can have the Boulder badge." "Thank you," says Truf. "You earned it," replies Brock's dad. "I could stand to gain some more experience," says Brock's dad. Truf reaches over to take the badge. Cerrie snatches it.

"Okay, I want to challenge you!" says the girl who followed Truf. "I'm Cerrie and I want to challenge you Brock." "I'm not Brock," replied Brock's dad. Cerrie fell down. "But I am in charge of this gym. I would fight you but my pokemon are not in fighting condition. You can fight my son Ardus if you want but I must warn you his pokemon are pretty strong," says Brock's dad. Ardus comes out. Hi, I'm Ardus and I will fight you. Two pokemon on two," said a boy who looked just about Truf's age.

Smoke filled the room. "Prepare for trouble and make it double. To protect the world from devastation. To unite all peoples within our nation. To denounce the evils of truth and love. To extend our reach to the stars above. Circie. Adon. Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light, surrender now or prepare to fight," say two older teenagers in uniform. They were both good looking, the girl with dark hair with reddish overtones and the boy with dark blue hair. "Who the heck are you?" asked Truf.
