BA097

==Synopsis==
Yazmyne finally has the gym battle that will determine whether or not she will be able to enter the Indigo Plateau Conference. Her match is against Leader Koji of the newly revived Fighting-Type Gym in Saffron City. The battle opens as a double battle with Yazmyne choosing Spritzee and Elekid against Koji's duo of Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee. Yazmyne's small Pokemon fare well against Koji's Pokemon but when Spritzee gets distracted by Elekid's electrical attacks, she fails to defend him from a one of Hitmonlee's kicks, which knocks him out. Spritzee then faces the two Pokemon alone and manages to defeat them both with the effects of Dazzling Gleam. Yazmyne saves Spritzee for later in the second half of the match, and she calls on Spinarak to face Koji's next choice, a Gurrdur, who knows a solid amount of Rock-Type moves that allow it to defeat the speedy Spinarak after a tough battle. Gurrdur, who had been poisoned, in he battle faces Yazmyne's Spritzee who is still winded from battling Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan. Still Spritzee manages to win Yazmyne the round, but is quickly knocked out by Koji's final choice a Heracross, who has a Mega Stone. Yazmyne chooses Pidgeot as her final Pokemon for the battle and she faces Koji's Heracross, who Mega Evolves. Yazmyne and Pidgeot are thoroughly excited for the challenge. By relying on the flinching effect of Twister and the doubly effective Aerial Ace, Pidgeot narrowly outlasts Heracross, and Yazmyne wins the Brace Badge, qualifying her for the Indigo League.
