Pokemon: This Gary is Very Different

---

"Finally, we can challenge Rustboro Gym!"

On this morning, after breakfast, Gary and Rosa arrived at Rustboro Gym, which is located opposite the Pokémon School in Rustboro City, according to the time agreed with the Gym Leader, Roxanne.

"But why is the exterior of this gym built like a stone?"

Rosa looked at the Rustboro Gym, which looked like a huge stone, and couldn't help but complain.

Because such architectural design is completely not to her taste.

"After all, Rustboro Gym is a gym specializing in rock-type Pokémon, so the architecture of the gym is mostly related to the attributes of the specialization."

Gary, who was standing next to her, remembered that the Pewter Gym in Brock's home was also in a similar style, so he explained.

"Although I can understand it, I still don't like this style."

For most girls, this style is really not to be liked, and Rosa is no exception.

"Actually, I don't appreciate it either."

Well, to be honest, Gary doesn't like this style either.

"Right, I prefer this style..."

After seeing that Gary's opinion was consistent with hers, Rosa instantly became interested, so she started discussing with Gary, happily discussing the style she liked.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Gary and Ms. Rosa mentioned by Miss Roxanne?"

Just when Gary and Rosa were discussing what style of architecture they liked, and were in high spirits, suddenly a strange greeting interrupted their discussion.

After hearing this greeting, Gary and Rosa stopped immediately, and then looked in the direction of the sound together, and soon saw a man wearing the work clothes of the Rustboro Gym, looking at the two of them with a strange expression.

Needless to say, Gary and Rosa also knew that this person should be a staff member of the Rustboro Gym.

Gary and Rosa also noticed his strange look, and after thinking for a while, Gary and Rosa soon understood.

It must be that they were overheard when they were discussing the architectural style of the Rustboro Gym.

Thinking of this, Gary and Rosa looked at each other, and immediately showed an embarrassed look on their faces.

However, Gary was still a little thick-skinned, so under the strange gaze of others, he nodded and admitted: "We are."

"Yes, we are."

Rosa also echoed on the side.

"That's right."

After seeing that he did not recognize the wrong person, the staff member immediately explained his purpose to Gary and Rosa.

"Mr. Gary and Miss Rosa, Miss Roxanne has been waiting in the gym for a long time, please follow me."

"Okay, then trouble you."

After Gary and Rosa looked at each other, they followed the staff member and walked into the Rustboro Gym.

When they followed the others to the battlefield in the gym, they happened to see the Gym Leader Roxanne, who was directing a group of people to debug a bunch of camera equipment.

"Miss Roxanne, I've brought the people here."

The staff member who led Gary and Rosa came to Roxanne and whispered.

"Okay, I know."

After hearing the staff's words, Roxanne nodded.

Then the staff member who led Gary and Rosa left the battlefield at Roxanne's signal, presumably to go and do their own things.

"Gary and Rosa, welcome to our Rustboro Gym."

After seeing Gary and Rosa's arrival, Roxanne immediately smiled and welcomed them.

"Thank you."

Faced with the welcome, Gary also smiled softly.

"By the way, Miss Roxanne, what are you busy with?"

Rosa, who was beside Gary, noticed a group of people who were adjusting the camera on the side, and was very curious, so she asked.

"Well, I'm going to record our gym battle and use it as learning material for the Pokémon School Battle Department."

Faced with Rosa's question, Roxanne immediately stated her main purpose.

"I wonder if Gary and Rosa, do you mind?"

After explaining the purpose of debugging the camera, Roxanne looked at Gary and Rosa, asking their opinions.

"I have no objection."

Gary certainly didn't care about this little thing.

"Me too."

After seeing that Gary had no objection, Rosa followed suit and agreed.

"Thank you very much."

After seeing that Gary and Rosa agreed decisively, Roxanne also smiled.

"The camera has been debugged, let's start our gym challenge!"

After debugging the camera, Roxanne looked at Gary and Rosa.

"Gary and Rosa, who will go first?"

After Roxanne came to one side of the battlefield, she asked Gary and Rosa who were standing at the edge of the field.

"I'll go first."

After hearing Roxanne's question, Gary stood up first and came to the other side of the gym field.

"Okay."

After Roxanne agreed, the referee in the Rustboro Gym also came out and began to announce the rules of the Rustboro Gym.

"What will be going on now is the gym challenge between Gary from Pallet Town and Roxanne, the Gym Leader of Rustboro Gym. Both sides can use two Pokémon. When both Pokémon of one side lose their combat ability, the battle ends."

After a pause, the referee continued: "In addition, gym trainers cannot change Pokémon during the battle."

"Now, please send out your Pokémon."

So under the attention of the referee, Roxanne, as a gym trainer, was the first to send out her Pokémon.

"Come out, Geodude!"

Roxanne threw out the Poké Ball immediately, and then in a flash of white light, a Geodude appeared on the field.

Pokémon: Geodude

Attributes: Rock, Ground

Ability: Sturdy

Gender: Male

Level: 23

Moves: Tackle, Defense Curl, Rollout, Rock Throw, Rock Tomb, Smack Down, Bulldoze...

"It's Geodude!"

Gary checked the data panel of Geodude through the system function, and he also had some understanding of Roxanne's Geodude.

"Since it's Geodude, then your opponent is it!"

After saying that, Gary also threw out a Poké Ball, and then a figure appeared in the white light.
