BA065

==Summary==
Yazmyne continues her gym battle against Lt. Surge. Her Ivysaur has just been defeated by a Nuzzle-Electro Ball combination of Surge's Pachirisu despite the type advantage. Needing speed to face Pachirisu, Yazmyne chooses Eevee to battle. Eevee struggles keeping her distance from Pachirisu and manages to avoid Nuzzle and Super Fang and counter with Hidden Power as Electabuzz's Light Screen fades. Eevee manages to hide from Pachirisu with several Dig attacks. When Pachirisu prepares to fire a Discharge through the holes, Eevee uses Hidden Power from underground to strike Pachirisu first then knock it out with Tackle. 
Eevee then battles Surge's Magneton and Yazmyne tries to repeat her Dig strategy, but Magneton inhibits Eevee with Metal Sound, giving it the time to follow with Electric Terrain to empower all electrical moves while rending it unsafe for Eevee to use Dig. A subsequent Zap Cannon overpowers Hidden Power and knocks out Eevee immediately. Yazmyne sends in Onix to battle, which frustrated Surge as Magneton does not know any moves that will damage Onix effectively. To Yazmyne's confusion, Surge only has Magneton strike Onix with Metal Sound while Onix lands a series of Flash Cannon and Rock Tomb attacks until Magneton is defeated. 
Surge's fourth Pokemon is an Electrode who uses Sonic Boom and Gyro Ball to chip away at Onix. Yazmyne has Onix summon a Sandstorm to blind Electrode and allow Onix to bury Electrode in a Rock Tomb. Electrode escapes Rock Tomb with Gyro Ball, but buries away with Dig. Onix bursts out of the ground and slams Electrode with a super-effective blow. Onix then uses his large tail to pin Electrode and blast it point-blank with Flash Cannon. As Onix prepares the attack, Electrode unleashes a Self-Destruct. which causes a large explosion and disrupts Onix's attack. Electrode is rendered unable to battle from its own blow while the Rock-Type Onix resists Self-Destruct and is able to continue.
Surge is down to his final Pokemon and calls out his strongest, a Raichu. Raichu executes a Grass Knot, summoning powerful thick vines from the ground that bind Onix to the ground. Onix tries to free himself with Sandstorm and Raichu is damaged, but the Electric-Type counters with a powerful Thunderbolt to cancel the attack. Onix takes the brief chance to burrow into the ground, preparing a Dig attack. Raichu uses Grass Knot again to force Onix out of the ground before knocking it out with Focus Blast.
Yazmyne calls on Tauros to be her fourth Pokemon. Tauros starts by building power with Work Up, and Raichu uses the opening to land a Thunderbolt. After enduring the attack, Tauros sprints using Revenge. Raichu uses Grass Knot, causing the charging Tauros to trip and crash. Raichu then lands another Thunderbolt. Raichu attempts to end the battle with Focus Blast, but Tauros gets up and dodges before using a second Work Up. Tauros then attacks against with Revenge and lands a the doubly effective blow. Tauros turns back to charge with Take Down but suddenly cannot move, paralyzed by Raichu's Static Ability. Lr. Surge quickly calls Focus Blast, which lands and knocks out the Wild Bull Pokemon. 
Koffing is Yazmyne's last Pokemon. The battle opens with Raichu trying to catch Koffing with Grass Knot, but the Poison Gas Pokemon floats and spins around the vines, too light to be caught. Grass Knot was only a cover to restrict Koffing's movement, so Raichu could land a Thunderbolt that hits hard. Koffing recovers and fires a Sludge Bomb that poisons Raichu. When Koffing uses another Sludge Bomb, Raichu bashes Koffing with Volt Tackle. Raichu swerves and lunges for another Volt Tackle with Lt. Surge eager to end the battle quickly before poison knocks out Raichu. Koffing matches Raichu's attack with Gyro Ball for an intense collision. After bother sides repel each other, Koffing covers the field in a white mist with Clear Smog. Raichu cannot find Koffing and starts firing Thunderbolt attacks wildly while poison delivers more damage. Each attack misses, and Koffing lands multiple Sludge Bomb attacks. The white fog clears and Raichu lunges into a Volt Tackle. Koffind lunges with Gyro Ball. At Yazmyne's command, Koffing only skids along the side of Raichu, causing him to crash into the ground and then into the wall, unable to battle, which wins Yazmyne the Thunder Badge.
