Darkaan Vs. Glen

[Darkaan]

Darkaan stepped into the Gym and was overcome by the smells of pollens and nectars from Route 5.
"Oh the though of going on that route again!" He thought with a shudder. The prickling sensation of airborne seeds stirred him so he called out to into the cosy well shrubbed gym: "I choose to battle with you Glen! Three on three! Show yourself!"

Darkaan had these six pokemon with him:
Fearow, Scyther, Schwabz (swablu), Tyranitar (larvitar), Marco (magmar), Stigmata (growlithe)

This time Tyranitar new he wasn't going to battle.
"I'll reward you all with pokeblocks if you win!" He whispered as Darkaan walked on looking behind the indoor trees, grasses and shrubs.

[Professor Gravon]

"Hey! Nice to meet you!"
Glen jumped down from a pinetree and approached Darkaan and his team.

Behind him, three of his pokemon jumped down from the tree: Arpe the gloom; Anaban the breloom and Goman the tropius.

"Lets get started! On the count of 3 we both release our first pokemon."
1...
2...
3!

[Professor Gravon]

Glen released Arpe, his gloom.

[Darkaan]

Darkaan released his scyther.
"Use wing attack!" Yelled Darkaan.

[Professor Gravon]

"Jump to the canopy! Use sleep powder after the attack!" Glen yelled.
The gloom jumped and clung to the canopy but was thrown a bit by the wing attack's gusts. It hurt allot but determined, it released the powder-like spores towards Scyther.

"Go Arpe!"

[Darkaan]

"Wow!" Darkaan gasped in dismay as his scyther was put straight to sleep. He returned his pokemon to his ball. I choose you Fearow! Drillpeck Arpe!" Fearow aimed and speared it's long fine beack at the gloom.

[Professor Gravon]

"Gloom save yourself! Sleep powder Fearow!" Glen flinched as he saw Arpe release the spores into fearow's face as he came into contact with fearow's drill-like beak. Arpe fainted!

He returned Arpe. "You did your job well Arpe! Go Anaban!"

[Darkaan]

Fearow was put to sleep by the spores too!
"AARGGH!!" Darkaan yelled frustrated pulling at his hair. "That move should be illegal!" He left Fearow oout in the field as Anaban approached his sleeping Fearow. "Wake UP!"

And then it dawned on him! He ran to his fearow and fed him a chesto berry from his bag. Fearow woke up with a start! But not in time for Anaban to strike first...

[Professor Gravon]

"Leech seed Fearow, Anaban! Then headbutt!" Glen said with a grin on his face. The leech seed attack buried seeds underneath Fearow's feathers. Anaban followed through with a headbutt.

[Darkaan]

"Use fly!" Darkaan screamed as he saw in horror the seeds fall on Fearow and Anaban about to follow through with a headbutt. Fearow tried to use drill peck but Anabana struck first and made Fearow flinch. This was not Fearow's battle, Darkaan could see.

[Professor Gravon]

Anaban followed with a another headbutt but did not make Fearow flinch. He tried to follow through quickly before Fearow took to the sky with a mach punch but missed.

[Darkaan]

Fearow dove from the sky and swooped down to take out Anaban with it's fly attack.

[Professor Gravon]

The attack absolutely shook Anaban from head to foot.
He revovered a bit from leech seed's attack.

He jumped and tried to headbutt Fearow...

[Darkaan]

"FLY!" Cried Darkaan as Fearow had his back to Anaban. Jumping to Darkaan's words he bolted for the roof again getting ready to fly attack at Anaban.

[Professor Gravon]

Anaban's headbutt attack missed! It just recovered more health though from stealing HP from Fearow!

[Darkaan]

What happened next made Darkaan gasp. As Fearow attacked Anaban with fly, Fearow fainted! His health was completely drained.

So Darkaan decided to let out his sleeping scyther.
"I'll give him a pomeg berry too! That'll wake him up!"

[Professor Gravon]

"And I'll heal my pokemon too, since your using items!" Glen teased playfully. He gave Anaban a berry that restored two thirds it's HP!

"Anaban, headbutt that puny insect!"

[Darkaan]

"Wing attack that breloom!" Darkaan squeaked in horror as the breloom launched itself at scyther with tremendous speed. Scyther was hit! ... And flinched!

[Professor Gravon]

"Anaban headbutt again!" Glen said again. A flame of victory sparkled in his eyes.

[Darkaan]

"Try and dodge and wing attack!" Darkaan begged. Without realising it, he was pulling at his hair. "I can't lose this battle!" He said to himself as he watched. Glen was smart and strong and his pokemon reflected this.

[Professor Gravon]

The wing attack hit Anaban hard, but it still followed through with it's headbutt. Anaban was surprisingly weak.

Behind Glen's bluff, his heart was troubled. He didn't know scyther learns wing attack. That's four time damage to Anaban! One more hit and he knew that Anaban was out.

Glen withdrew Anaban and bought out Goman. "Head for the canopy Goman!"

Glen yelled to Darkaan. "Now I've levelled the playing field a bit!"

[Darkaan]

"An aerial battle in a grass gym!" Darkaan thought. It amused him even though he was really concerned about winning this battle.

"Scyther, use agility to wing attack tropius more!" Darkaan said without thinking. Darkaan likes pure assault battles, but agility was a good speed booster move in any batle, he knew.

[Professor Gravon]

As the same time Darkaan was yelling, Glen was yelling at Goman.
"Use sweet scent so that scyther's evasiveness falls! Then stomp it!"

It launched itself at Scyther to stomp atack the bug pokemon...

[Darkaan]

"Scyther use Focus Energy and slash!"

It did! And before he could connect, Goman stomped and caused scyther to flinch!

[Professor Gravon]

Goman tried to use stomp again and did effectively. But it exposed it's underbelly! Both Scyther and Goman fainted from exhaustion and lack of HP!

Glen once again withdrew Anaban.
"Leechseed whatever pokemon he releases!" Glen whispered to Anaban has he healed half of Anaban's HP.
