| - Jon: It’s been great playing with you all. Nate: So, where are you off to next? Jon: You know I’m heading somewhere? Nate: It’s you Jon. You left soon after arriving back from Johto. Jon: True. I’m going to travel around the Alola Region this time. Nate: Alola? Interesting. Jon: How so? Nate: Because I’m going there too. Zoey: Not soon you aren’t. Jon: Why not? Michael: There are no planes to Alola from any region other than Kalos. Nate: Okay, we’ll get a connecting flight from Kalos. Zoey: That’s the other bad news. Michael: After what happened in Kalos, not many planes are leaving and none are leaving to Alola. Jon: Aw man. Nate: Steven Stone. Steven: Hi. I’m sorry if I was interrupting something. Zoey: No, not at all. Michael: What can we do for you? Steven: Actually, I’m here for Jon. Jon: Me? How can I help? Steven: I’m going to be out of Hoenn for a few months and I want you to look after Hoenn. Nate: Seems like you won’t be going to Alola any time soon. Steven: Unfortunately, no planes are destined to leave for Alola for two to three months. Jon: Okay. In that case, I accept. I will look after Hoenn for you. Steven: Thank you. Jon: So, I guess I’m now looking after the Hoenn Region for a bit. Nate: That is a big responsibility. Jon: Yep. Woman: Which one of you is Jon Spencer? Jon: I am. Woman: Right. I have this letter for you. Jon: Dear Jon. I am hoping this letter has reached you in time before your next journey to whatever region you choose. Nevertheless, I want to give you something. Something you have wanted dearly. The woman delivering this letter, Megan, will tell you everything. From Flannery. Megan: Flannery wants to give you her fire type gym. Michael: No way! Jon: Whoa! For real? Megan: Yes, for real. However, I need to test your gym battling experience. I want you to battle as a Gym Leader against this trainer here. Megan: This is Gilbert. Gilbert: Nice to meet you. Jon: Nice to meet you too Gilbert. Megan: You will be having a three against three battle against him using only fire type Pokemon. Zoey: The problem is, Jon only has two fire type Pokemon. Megan: I see. Then we’ll make this a two on two battle. As a gym leader you will have to make clear and precise decisions and also make sure to give helpful advice to your challenger. Jon: Right. Nate: This two on two battle is about to begin. Each trainer can use two Pokemon each, however, only the challenger, Gilbert, can substitute Pokemon. Battle begin! Jon: As the gym leader, I need to show you my Pokemon first. Talonflame! Gilbert: A Talonflame. Right, go! Jon: Who is that Pokemon? Jon: Another Alolan Pokemon. Sweet. Gilbert: I do come from Alola. I came here on a holiday. Jon: Nice. Now, you can go first. Gilbert: Brionne, use Water Gun! Jon: Double Team! Jon: Using a water type move is a good strategy. Gilbert: Moonblast! Jon: Powerful move. Now, Steel Wing! Gilbert: Talonflame is fast. Now, Scald! Jon: Flame Charge! Gilbert: What? Jon: Moves are just offensive or defensive. You choose what moves your Pokemon has. But you can make offensive moves turn into defensive moves. Double Team! Gilbert: So you can make defensive moves offensive! Now, Disarming Voice! Gilbert: Water Gun! Jon: So, you made Talonflame land on the ground. Interesting use of Water Gun. Gilbert: Thank you. Jon: Now, Acrobatics! Gilbert: Dodge! Gilbert: What? Jon: It’s due to Talonflame’s special ability, Gale Wings. Gilbert: What does Gale Wings do? Jon: It gives priority to flying type moves like Acrobatics and Wing Attack. Gilbert: Oh, I see. Now Scald! Jon: Thanks for that. Gilbert: Uh oh. Jon: Steel Wing! Gilbert: Moonblast! Nate: Brionne is unable to battle, Talonflame wins! Talonflame: Flame! Gilbert: You done well. Jon: Brionne did very well. But before you send out your next Pokemon, you need to think who would be best to defeat Talonflame and my next Pokemon. Jon: Another one I haven’t seen before. Gilbert: This is Lycanroc but Lycanroc has two forms. Jon: Interesting. You can go first. Gilbert: Stone Edge! Jon: Flame Charge! Gilbert: Rock Slide! Nate: Talonflame is unable to battle, Lycanroc wins. Jon: You were great Talonflame. Jon: Okay Typhlosion. Gilbert: Oh god. Now, Brick Break! Gilbert: This is so frustrating. Jon: It’s all part of a Gym Leaders job to test you. Now, Focus Blast! Jon: So, what are you going to do? Gilbert: Go for an all-out pummelling. Jon: All-out pummelling? Jon: What on earth was that? Gilbert: It was a Z-Move. We got the Z-Ring and the Fightinium Z-crystal while in the Alola Region. Jon: I see. Jon: Right. We’ll give them our full power! Gilbert: You haven’t been giving us your all? Jon: We have, but we are turning it up a notch. Gilbert: Whoa! What is that? Jon: This is Jon-Typhlosion. It’s a form that my Typhlosion gets when our bond is at its fullest. It’s due to something called Bond Phenomenon according to Professor Sycamore of the Kalos Region. Gilbert: I see. So how much power do you have? Stone Edge! Jon: That was a good move. Now, let’s show them your signature move. Shuriken Blaze! Nate: Lycanroc is unable to battle, Typhlosion wins. Therefore, the Gym Leader Jon is the winner. Gilbert: You were great thanks. Gilbert: That was amazing! Jon: Thanks for being a good challenger. Gilbert: How can I improve? Jon: Well, I can see all your Pokemon have offensive moves. Try and give them at least one defensive move like Protect or Double Team. Or try and use and offensive move as a defensive move. This will improve your battle style. Gilbert: Right, thank you! Jon: No problem. Megan: That was very good. But I wouldn’t use that form you had, Jon-Typhlosion, unless the challenger either requests it or has mega Pokemon on the field. Jon: Right. I’ll keep that in mind. Megan: So, are you ready? Jon: But, I only have two fire type Pokemon. And there’s more I need to learn. Gilbert: Alola has this school which helps trainers understand how to battle and how to look after their Pokemon. Nate: Plus Jon and I want to go to Alola. Megan: Okay then, when you get back from Alola, you will be instated as the Laveridge Town Gym Leader. Jon: Thank you! Zoey: So you are now a Gym Leader. Jon: Not yet. Nate: But pretty much. Michael: I’m proud of you Jon. Jon: Thanks. Zoey: Shall we have some lunch? Jon: Yeah. I’ll help with feeding the ranch Pokemon with Nate. Nate: Cool. Narrator: So, at the end of Jon’s journey, he has been tasked to protect Hoenn from Steven and then become a fire type Gym Leader when he returns from Alola. Now, having to wait a few months till he can get to Alola, what challenges will be arriving at his door? Find out in Battle Journey!
