While Daru Dayu sent out her Aerodactyl, I sent out my Mareep who immediately get hit by both the Stealth Rock and two layers of Toxic Spike when she had just entered the battle arena (the second layer of toxic spike has been scattered by the Glimmet when its Toxic Debris ability had triggered again just a moment before it was fallen down by the second surprise attack from Shion in the previous round).
"Baaaahh~ it hurts!" My Mareep Moemon grimaced as she is being hit by the stealthy rocks hidden on the ground and the toxic spike make her badly poisoned right in the beginning of the duel.
"Oooh, a Moemon? You sure are lucky to get one at the start of your journey." Daru Dayu cozily strike up a conversation instead of starting the duel immediately.
"Oh, don't you have them too, Daru Dayu-sama?" Since my opponent didn't start the battle immediately, I choose to have a little talk with her too.
I am also curious, are Moemons that rare and difficult to find?
"I have two Moemons in my main team, but they are all already too high powered to be sent out on Gym Challenge, besides they are both more geared to Double Battle rather than a single battle. Although a single one of them do have more than enough strength to wipe out an entire party of a beginner trainer alone." Daru Dayu smiled while she is patting two among six pokeballs that are clipped on the left side of her kimono sash instead of right side where the set of pokeballs she used in Gym Challenge are hanging on.
"Oh, now I am curious, what are your two Moemons look like, Daru Dayu-sama?"
"Oh, you wanna know? Then I will show you if you can win against me." Daru Dayu said while she winked her eyes seductively to me.
Hnnnghhhhh..... Daru Dayu-sama, you are so cute~! 😻
"Now, shall we begin the battle?" Daru Dayu continue on her talk.
"Okay, let's started!" I also comply with Daru Dayu to started our battle.
It's time to D-d-d-d-duel~!
Good thing for me, although we talked quite a bit, since my Mareep Moemon Reika didn't make a single move, the poison on her body also didn't spread so much although her complexion do not looks good.
Well who would look good on their face when they are getting badly poisoned, anyway?
"Reika, let's begin with Electric Terrain!" Without further ado, I immediately give out my first command.
"Ma reeeepppp~!!!!!" Reika immediately let out a blast of electrical waves that flooded on the field, completely charging the rocky terrainn on the battle arena with electricity to give her a boost in power.
"Oooh? A Terrain move right from the start? Then, I will also use my ace move too. Aerodactyl, use your Ancient Power!" Daru Dayu looked at the electrically charged terrain with interest before she commanded her Aerodactyl to make its move.
"Aero dact, Tyl!!!" The Aerodactyl charged up its power, calling forth the force from ancient era to surge from its primitive body, before the Fossil Pokémon unleashed its might to my Mareep!
"Reika, use Thunder Shock!" I immediately commaded my Mareep to shoot the one out of two damaging electric type move on her disposal.
The opponent's Aerodatctyl ferociously attacked with a primal force, hitting my Mareep heavily with its STAB move before my Moemon countered with her own STAB move.
Bzzzttttt!!!!!
And to my luck, Thunder Shock that only have 10% chance to paralyzed the opponent successfully zapped the Aerodactyl and paralyzing it aside from dealing a super effective plus STAB damage.
But my Mareep is also staggered from her badly poisoned condition, her face get paler as purplish poisonous aura surged from her body.
"Oh, you managed to inflict paralysis upon my Pokémon. Good for you." Daru Dayu looked pleased even though her Pokémon has been hit quite badly by my Moemon.
"However, your Pokémon is not the only one that can inflict bad status upon others. Aerodactyl, use Supersonic." Daru Dayu smiled in amusement as she commanded her Fossil Pokémon to make it status move.
"Reika, finished it with Wild Charge!" Not wanting to lose, I didn't wait before I commanded my Mareep to execute another damaging electric type move of hers.
The Aerodactyl screech loudly before it emits bizarre sound waves from its opened mouth.
The sound waves are visible from the naked eyes in the form of purplish pink colored circular waves that reverberating on the air towards my Moemon.
My Mareep have her body shrouded on electricity before she goes on to a Wild Charge towards the Rock/Flying type Pokémon in opposition.
Reika zigzagged her way as she charged towards the Aerodactyl, evading all the weird sound waves that can cause confusion upon hit.
She then jumped high and hit the Fossil Pokémon that are flying in a low a altitude with her electrical charge, inflicting another super effective plus STAB damage but also hit her with a heavy recoil.
The heavy impact send the Aerodactyl fallen down from the sky unconscious, while my Mareep can still stand despite taking a damage from her recoil plus another ongoing damage from her poisoned condition.
Reika kneels down at one foot on the ground as she hangs on the last straw of her consciousness.
"The Aerodactyl can't fight anymore, with this Daru Dayu-sama have lost all three of her Pokémons and the winner of the Gym Battle is Jovanna!" The Official Gym Referee announced my victory.
I immediately returned my Mareep back to her pokeball after I give her a Pecha Berry to nibble on and cure her poison.
(Author Note: Remember, guys. In this World, using item aside from the held item owned by your Pokémon in a Pokémon Battle is forbidden and will result in the Pokémon being considered as losing and forfeited the game. So, Jovanna can only use his Pecha Berry to heal Reika after the battle ends. As for Shion, well, it is cheaper to just bring her to nearby Pokémon Center for a full heal than using a Revive on her.)
"Congratulations, boy. You have won the challenge against this Gym and I hereby give you the Stone Badge." Daru Dayu tapped on something on her PokeGear before she officially give me the Stone Badge as a proof of winning the Rock Gym in Cupcake City.
A beep also sounded on my PokeGear and when I looked at it, there is an icon shaped like the Stone Badge appears on the lower part of my Virtual Trainer Card.
"Also, I will give you this as an additional reward." Daru Dayu then take out a small plastic box containing a compact disc with a brown colour inside of it.
Is that a TM?
"This is TM 101: Power Gem. This is a Rock type attack move on which the user attacks with a beautiful ray of light that sparkles as if it were made of gemstones. This is a perfect move to be used as a flashy light drop when you are doing a rock concert!" Daru Dayu said as she gives me the TM in her hand.
I give her a strange look on her last sentence.
"What? You are not interested in forming a Rock Band and traveling around the world while doing a Tour Concert? It is quite fun, you know?" Daru Dayu only make a small laugh while covering her mouth politely, her beautiful eyes looks like she is reminiscing on her past when she is still "young".
Ahem ahem, although with her cute face and petite appearance, she still looks very young now.
Even though her make up gives her a vibe of a matured, experienced lady.
I take the badge and her gift with gratitude.

[ ] Author's Note [ ]
Yup, unlike in the game version, the Gym Leaders in this Wacky Pokémon World have various Pokemons on their disposal, not a fixed set. However, almost all of their Pokémon would have one of their type to be the same as their Gym type. And when they are battling the Trainers who are challenging their Gym, the Gym Leaders are obliged to use the Pokémons in the same range of power level as their Gym sequences.
So, for example, although Daru Dayu have a team of end game level Pokémons, but when she is being challenged by the trainers in Gym Battle, she must use Rock type pokemon in the beginner's level (around level 15 to 18 in game) as her Rock type Gym is considered to be the first Gym to be challenged by newbie trainers.
The same goes for all the Gym Leaders around this World.
