After training in the Wild Area for hours, I felt I was ready to face Raihan. I mean, why not? My Pokemon are Level 58 at the best. I could beat him. So let’s go! Upon arriving in Hammerlocke, I met Leon, Sonia, and Hop. Leon said, “So, you’re going to be facing Raihan, right? He’s the only guy I consider a real rival.” Oh boy, if Leon considers him a real rival, he’s oughta be tough to beat, I thought. Hop had to beat Piers first, and I had to pep talk my Pokemon. “Ok, here’s the plan;” I said, flipping through my paper. “We will pass the Gym Mission. I will heal you and be ready for the battle. I will sit on the toilet and be disgusting.” I paused and looked at the rude picture on my paper. Cue my Skorupi and Chewtle laughing in the background. “NOT FUNNY!” I yelled. “RETURN.” Skorupi and Chewtle returned to thier Pokeballs. All my Pokemon were trying not to laugh, except Singe, who buried his face in his paws. I sighed. “Anyway, we’ll defeat all his Pokemon, leaving Duraludon as the last Pokemon standing. Then Tsunami will come out, and using Max Knuckle, we’ll defeat Duraludon, earning the Dragon Badge so we can face Leon, and become the Champions of Galar!” “Cinderace!” Singe agreed. Persephone agreed, along with Bonbon, Glacier, Tsunami, and Urshifu all agreed we were ready. So we stepped into the Gym.

The Gym Mission was HARD. Three trainers who love double battles + Raihan watching x dragon type + abilites that give your opponent the advantage=DISASTER. Upon reaching the field, my Pokemon were all knocked out during the battle, and Raihan was very smug. I give Hammerlocke. . . 2 stars. Even though I watched Pokemon Journeys, Raihan is smug in the game, but in the anime he’s nice. What’s up with that, huh❓❔❓❔❓? So, my first loss in the Gym Challenge. But I’m not bummed. Besides, Ash was defeated by Bea, the 4th Gym Leader you face, and I was defeated by the last Gym Leader you face. And I’ll beat Raihan sooner or later. He’ll never know what hit him. . .

That’s all, folks! Please let me know if you like my blog or not, because I need constructive criticism to have better blogs, so give me feedback! Bye!
