Pokemon: Legends of Kanto

Fuchsia City!

Journey Through the Cycling Road

With the Rainbow Badge in hand, Alex and Daniel left Celadon City, their sights set on Fuchsia City, home of Koga, the Poison-type Gym Leader. However, the fastest route required them to take Cycling Road, a long downhill path filled with bikers, rough terrain, and unpredictable weather.

"This is gonna be fun," Daniel smirked, hopping onto his bike.

Alex grinned. "You sure you can keep up?"

"Just try me."

The two raced down the slope, but before long, trouble found them.

A group of Biker Gang members blocked their path.

The leader, a burly man with a leather jacket, sneered. "You two trainers from Pallet Town? We don't take kindly to outsiders riding through our turf without a toll."

Daniel scoffed. "Let me guess—our Pokémon against yours?"

The biker smirked. "You got that right. Beat us, and you can pass."

Alex cracked his knuckles. "Fine. Let's do this."

Biker Gang Battle

Biker Leader sent out: Muk

Alex sent out: Lucario

Muk oozed onto the battlefield, its toxic form shifting menacingly.

The biker leader grinned. "Muk, Sludge Wave!"

A wave of toxic sludge surged toward Lucario.

Alex countered immediately. "Lucario, Extreme Speed!"

Lucario vanished in a blur, dodging the attack before reappearing behind Muk.

"Now, Bone Rush!"

Lucario summoned a glowing bone staff, striking Muk repeatedly until the Poison-type collapsed.

The biker leader's jaw dropped. "No way…"

Daniel's Battle

Biker Grunt sent out: Weezing

Daniel sent out: Hisuian Arcanine

The air filled with toxic mist as Weezing floated menacingly.

Daniel smirked. "Arcanine, let's melt it. Raging Fire Fang!"

Hisuian Arcanine's fangs burned with blue flames as it bit down on Weezing, causing an explosive reaction.

Weezing fainted instantly.

The bikers all stepped back in shock.

"Damn… these guys aren't normal trainers."

The leader growled. "Fine. Get outta here."

Alex and Daniel smirked before continuing their journey.

Reaching Fuchsia City

After a long ride, they arrived in Fuchsia City, a town famous for its Ninja traditions and Safari Zone.

As they entered the Gym, they saw Koga, the Gym Leader, meditating in the center of the battlefield.

"You have entered the domain of the Ninja Master," Koga said without opening his eyes. "Only those swift, strong, and cunning may earn the Soul Badge."

Alex stepped forward. "I'm ready."

Koga smirked. "Very well. Let the battle begin."

Fuchsia City Gym Battle: Alex vs. Koga

Battle Format: 3-on-3

Koga's First Pokémon: Crobat

Alex's Pokémon: Garchomp

Koga smirked. "Crobat, Toxic!"

Crobat fired a poisonous glob, heading straight for Garchomp.

Alex countered. "Dodge and use Stone Edge!"

Garchomp leaped into the air, dodging the poison before summoning sharp rock pillars to hit Crobat.

Crobat crashed to the ground, unable to battle.

Koga's Second Pokémon: Toxicroak

Alex's Pokémon: Lucario

Koga's eyes gleamed. "Toxicroak, Cross Chop!"

Toxicroak dashed forward, arms glowing.

Alex countered. "Lucario, Aura Sphere!"

Lucario fired a glowing blue sphere, colliding with Toxicroak mid-air and sending it crashing into the wall.

The referee raised his hand. "Toxicroak is unable to battle."

Koga smirked. "You are skilled… but can you handle my strongest Pokémon?"

Final Battle: Koga's Greninja vs. Alex's Charizard

Koga sent out Greninja, the Water-Dark ninja Pokémon.

Alex smirked. "Charizard, let's go!"

Koga's eyes glinted. "Greninja, Water Shuriken!"

Greninja spun rapidly, throwing sharp water projectiles at Charizard.

"Dodge and use Dragon Claw!"

Charizard weaved through the shurikens before slashing Greninja with glowing claws.

Koga smirked. "Good. But can you handle Battle Bond?!"

Greninja glowed intensely, transforming into Ash-Greninja!

Alex's eyes widened. "That's new."

Koga smirked. "Greninja, Night Slash!"

Greninja moved blindingly fast, striking Charizard across the chest.

Alex narrowed his eyes. "Alright. Time to take it up a notch. Mega Evolve!"

Charizard roared as its Mega Stone reacted, transforming into Mega Charizard X!

Koga's eyes widened. "Interesting… but it won't be enough!"

Alex smirked. "We'll see about that. Flare Blitz!"

Charizard charged forward, engulfed in blue flames, and collided with Greninja, causing an explosion of heat.

When the dust settled…

Greninja had fainted.

The referee raised his hand. "Greninja is unable to battle! Alex is the winner!"

Koga nodded. "You have earned the Soul Badge."

Alex grinned, taking the badge. "Six down. Two more to go."
