Gligar's Training Day

A few days after visiting Backlot Mansion...
The gang was just about to have lunch with their Pokemon. Ash checked over all the Pokemon, before noticing his Gligar wasn't there.
"Hey Gligar, where did you go?" He called out. 
Gligar then flew over to him.
"Where did you go Gligar?" Gligar used X-Scissor on the ground.
"Oh I see." Ash said. "You were training because you want to get stronger, right?"
Gligar nodded yes.
"Alright then, after we have lunch we'll train Gligar." Gligar happily hugged Ash.
After lunch, Ash and Gligar began their training. 
"Okay Gligar, first show me your moves." Ash said.
Gligar demonstrated her Poison Sting, Sand Attack, Harden, Quick Attack, Steel Wing, Sandstorm, Cross Poison and Metal Claw attacks. She also demonstrated new moves she learned over the last few months; she now knew Screech, Slash, Aerial Ace, Sludge Bomb and Hidden Power (ground type).
"Good Gligar, now let's practice battling." 
"Can Gligar battle Eevee?" He asked Tomo.
Tomo agreed.
The two brothers got into position and Eevee and Gligar got ready to battle.
"Gligar, start off with Poison Sting." Ash said.
Gligar fired a Poison Sting attack, but Eevee dodged it.
"Eevee use Natural Gift." Tomo said.
He threw a Aspear Berry to Eevee. Eevee took a bite out of the berry and then fired a big sphere at Gligar which struck it. 
"What was that move?" Dawn asked.
"Natural Gift is a move that changes types by whatever berry a Pokemon bites into." Brock explained. "An Aspear Berry changes it to the ice type. This is why Tomo got different berries from Monica. Eevee knew Natural Gift back then."
"Oh." Dawn said.
"Gligar, Screech." Ash ordered.
Gligar's screeching threw Eevee off balance.
"Now Cross Poison." He said.
Gligar slashed Eevee with glowing claws. 
"Okay, that's enough." Ash said.
The battle then came to a end.
"Well Gligar you're doing well with battles." Ash said. "Prof. Oak did tell me you've been hanging out with the Gligar he's got at the ranch and practicing flying and battling with them which is good." 
Gligar felt happy, but she pounded the ground with Metal Claw.
"What, you want to keep getting stronger?" 
"If you ask me Ash, I don't think Gligar is satisfied with how she is now." Brock said. "I think she wants to be strong like all your other Pokemon." 
Ash thought about it a little. 
"Well I think the only way to do that is to evolve Gligar into Gliscor." Ash said.
Gligar cried out in happiness; she did want to evolve.
"Hold on a minute though." Brock said. "Gligar can only evolve at night time and with a Razor Fang."
"What's a Razor Fang?" Tomo asked.
"I can answer that." A voice said.
It was Gary. 
"Gary what a surprise to see you here." Ash said. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh I'm on my way to Lake Valor." Gary said. "Prof. Rowan told me about you seeing a mysterious spirit there Ash."
"He was right." Ash said. "I believe it was the legendary Pokemon Azelf."
"Yes, I've read that those three legendary Pokemon are supposed to be living in Lake Acuity, Lake Valor and Lake Verity. That's why I'm going to visit Lake Valor." 
"Make sure to be careful Gary, especially considering J may want to get them and sell them on the black market." Ash warned his former rival.
"Don't you worry Ash, I have some of my strongest Pokemon with me." Gary said. "So if she does go there I'll be sure to stop her."
Gary took a big cream colored fang out of his backpack.
"This is a Razor Fang." He said, giving it to Ash.
"Are you sure I can have this?" Ash asked.
"Sure I have lots of these." Gary said.
Gligar was excited and wanted the Razor Fang.
"Hold it Gligar. It's not night time yet." Ash reminded her. "This Razor Fang will only help you evolve at night. It's still afternoon."
Gligar felt very disappointed. Gary chuckled.
"You know, this reminds me of a time back when we were kids Ash." Gary said. "When we met this Pidgey that was eager to evolve."
"Oh yes, I do remember that." Ash said. "It kept exhausting itself just to evolve quickly. Then after Prof. Oak finally got it to rest, it did evolve."
"Bingo." Gary said.
Ash stared at the sulking Gligar.
"I know what we can do while we wait for night time." Ash said.
"Really? What?" Dawn asked.
Ash whispered to the others while Gligar wasn't listening.
"If we have Gligar take part in some activities, night time will come before she even knows it." He said.
"Good idea." Gary said. "What activities do you have in mind." 
"Well." Ash stated. "I'll have Gligar race with Staravia to get her into good flying shape. Then I'll have her learn Aqua Tail and Iron Tail."
"Wow, Gligar can learn Aqua Tail?" Dawn said.
"It can, and it will be very handy for Gligar to learn." Brock said.
So Ash got to work on keeping Gligar preoccupied while they waited for night time. First he had Pikachu train her to learn Iron Tail; he had her lift stones on her tail to get it into shape, like what he did when he learned Iron Tail. Then he had Staravia race around the sky with her to help her fly faster than usual. Last of all Ash had Floatzel train Gligar to learn Aqua Tail; Floatzel had Gligar keep on spinning her tail around. It took the rest of the afternoon for Gligar to learn the two moves. Eventually she managed to get her tail to glow and water to come out of her tail a bit, but she wasn't close to perfecting the move yet.
"Oh man." Dawn sighed. "Gligar is having a hard time learning Iron Tail and Aqua Tail."
"Maybe she'll have better results once she evolves." Brock said.
It was at that time it was getting dark.
"Come on guys, we should stop now and set up our tents for the night." Gary said.
The others agreed, including Ash. Brock started a fire and cooked dinner while Dawn, Gary and Ash set up the tents.
"Hey Ash." Gary said. "Any new reports on Team Galactic lately?"
He had been told about Team Galactic by Prof. Rowan. 
"Not yet. Not since we last saw them in Veilstone City." Ash said.
"Be careful Ash, there's no telling what they may do." Gary advised.
It wasn't long until everyone was eating dinner. Gligar was exhausting from training and racing, so she was happy to rest and get some food. 
"Hey Gligar, it's night time now." Ash said. "Want to evolve?"
Gligar nodded yes, excited. Ash handed the Razor Fang to her and as soon as she touched it, she glowed and evolved into Gliscor.
"Wow." Dawn said.
She took out her Pokedex.
"Gliscor, the Fang Scorpion Pokemon and the evolved form of Gligar. It observes prey while hanging inverted from branches. When the chance presents itself, it swoops!"
After evolving Gliscor had learned Thunder, Ice and Fire Fang, Poison Jab and Night Slash. And she perfected Aqua Tail and Iron Tail. 
"Well Gliscor, I take it you're happy that you've evolved." Ash said.
Gliscor was happy and hugged him.
"Some things never change." Dawn chuckled.
The next day...
The gang was getting ready to continue their journey.
"Well it was nice seeing you again Gary." Ash said.
"You too Ash." Gary said. "And good luck with the gym in Hearthome City."
Gary and the gang said their goodbyes to each other and then the gang left.
