Single post in The Qualifications of A champion(Short Story)

I was greatly disappointed by Victory road... Due to a landslide, it was REPLACED BY A BYPASS... which was itself Replaced less than a year later, after several cave-ins, So now... It's a series of cablecars. upon arriving, The former and current champions, Alder and Iris, Were waiting for me. They told me I had to pass a test. Some Guy named Charles arrived a bit later, Clad in a sleeveless Denim jacket, open front, with no shirt... he looked like he was having a midlife crisis. this was my opponent. he grinned at me, then said "sorry if I break your heart." I laughed. hard. then he sent out his pokemon. first was a Krookodile, Which my Venusaur made short work of. All three were surprised by my use of a kantonian pokemon, but by this point, my Clan had been Around the world, and our Specialists had sent back many different pokemon... much of them poison type. so Charles Threw in A Scolipede, And I countered him easily With a pokemon from a Small series of islands to the Southeast, Salazzle. she made the fight easy. Charles had started to sweat... and impulsively shouted "lets finish this my way! triple battle! then sent out three pokemon, Simisage, Simipour, abd Simisear... I Obliged him, With two pokemon from different regions, and my gengar. From The Galar Region came my Slowbro, a poison type variant. and from the Sinnoh region came my Toxicroak... My pokemon easily dispatched his monkeys... he ran off, crying. alder and iris approached... "Congratulations. you won. You are now, officially, Unovas newest gym leader." that was six months ago. Afterward, I took on the name Toxica, as my official Identifier. But this brings Me back to my question. What Exactly Defines a champion... I looked across the battlefield of my gyms final room, At the Young Man with The Odd Gray hair, And smiled. "Perhaps YOU can give me an answer to my question. Don't hold back, lay it all on the line, and let your soul cry out for victory! Go! Smokescreen!" I Looked at the kid, who confidently sent out his pokemon, Clad in the Uniform of the newly Created Blueberry Academy. "Well kid? Show me what you've got! prove to me you have the Skill, guts, and drive to Face the pokemon leauge! Bring it on! I hope you have some Antidotes!" THE END.
