Description: Maylene is tired of battling and demolishing Trainers in one fell low-sweep; she wants opponents to be just as tough as her, if not tougher! What can one say, she likes to know what she’s dealing with.
Veilstone is a city that prides itself on entertainment, second only to Hearthome City, and Maylene wants to see how you perform under pressure. Go to the Battle Warehouse and battle Medicham, and put on an impressive show of strength for Maylene and the rest of Veilstone City! If she likes what she sees, she’ll battle you for sure!
Rewards: An invitation to battle Maylene, the Fighting-type Gym Leader, 5BP, and 1 win for any Pokemon. (All obtainable only once.)
Dallas had finally arrived in Veilstone City after half a day. He wiped the sweat off his brow and sat on a bench near the gate of the city next to some guy who was reading something on his phone. He patted his Swinub on the head. "See girl, we made it. Now all we gotta do is find the Gym Leader and have ourselves a battle!" Dallas leaned back in the seat to take a breather before continuing. "Oh? You want to fight Gym Leader Maylene do you? Ho ho! She's been in a bit of a slump lately. Usually around this time, she's at the casino. Be warned, you may have a trial awaiting you." The man lowered his hat and went on his way. Dallas twitched a bit. Without a word he made his way down the streets of Veilstone city, looking amazed at all the tall buildings and locations.
He stopped by a local burger joint to grab a quick bite to eat. Swinub looked like it wanted a bite. "No no no, you can't have this. This is adult food. Hang on, I'll make you a bottle soon." he said, finally arriving to the casino, but when he arrived it looked like the bouncers were kicking out some girl. "SEE IF I CARE, I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW ANYWAYS." She brushed herself off, stopping herself from bumping into Dallas who was staring at her. "Mm? What're you lookin' at? Need something??" Dallas scratched his head. "Uh... no, just lookin' for the Gym Leader." Dallas tried to push past her but she stood in his way. "Um--" As Dallas took another step to the left, so did she, blocking his path once again. "Okay do YOU need something?" Dallas snapped at her. "You said you were looking for the Gym Leader, well here I am!" Dallas looked at her up and down. "O-oh. WELL IN THAT CASE, LETS GET OUR BATTLE ON!" Whether she was lying or not, a battle was a battle. Dallas said, reaching for a ball in his pocket. Before he could, Maylene stopped him. "Not here, follow me." Dallas paused. Curiously following this stranger whom he just met, not knowing if she really was the GLer or not.
Once they arrived to their location, Maylene pushed open the warehouse doors. "Your first challenge will be here!" She nonchalantly walked over to an old sofa, plopping herself down on it, lounging comfortably as if she does this all the time. Dallas walked in feeding a bottle to Swinub, looking like a mother. "Alright sis, am I battling you while you're sitting down or- wait did you say first challe-" Dallas was interrupted when he saw something emerge from the shadows. It kinda creeped him out. He watched as this Pokemon moved as if it were charming him. "Your first challenge will be to defeat this Medicham. I'm tired of weak trainers showing up in my face thinking they can just walk off with a gym badge all willy-nilly. Its BORING! Show me what you can do in battle and I'll decide if I want to actually have a gym battle with you or not!" Before Dallas could answer, Medicham used Psychic to close the doors behind him. Dallas looked back as the doors closed, then looked in front of him, rocking Swinub as it drank. While still holding Swinub in one hand, he took out a Poke Ball from his pocket, tossing it out in front of him. The blue light from the ball emerged, revealing Drapion. "No problem, I enjoy showing off! Let's get right into it, Drapion, Pin Missile!" Drapion didn't hesitate to begin scurrying around the warehouse, circling around Medicham to look for an opening. "Oh? so eager... and a good match up too..." Medicham simply watched. Drapion shot out a spiral of arrows from its claws, sending them to Medicham. Medicham waved its arms, forming light colored orbs around it. It was using Hidden Power! Medicham launched the attack towards the Pin Missile, causing them to collide. Dallas saw an opportunity in the mini blowup to use another attack. "Knock Off!" Drapion pushed through the smoke, twisting its body as it arrived in front of Medicham with great speed. Both Medicham and Maylene were surprised. Drapion swung its arm, knocking it into Medicham, causing it to skid back a bit. Medicham kept composure, keeping the battle up by jumping into the air, its knee giving off a shine. It rammed itself into Drapion with a powerful High Jump Kick. Drapion cried out, skidding back into the wall. Dallas' eyes widened. ((Incredible...!)) Dallas had to take a quick moment to analyze how to beat Medicham quickly. He noticed how Medicham flipped back and landed on it's feet after the HJK attack. "Drapion, Sludge Bomb!" Drapion shuddered, it opened its mouth wide open, sending out purple globs towards Medicham. Medicham took a page from Drapion, rather than deflecting the attack with Psychic, it sent off Hidden Power, colliding with the Sludge Bomb and creating a wall of steam. "Drapion, get ready!" Taking advantage of the steam, Medicham jumped out, coming down with another powerful High Jump Kick. Drapion put its arms in an X-formation, attempting to block it. It still hurt, but Medicham spiraled back just like last time. Dallas' eyes widened once more, it was just as he thought. "Quickly, Toxic Spikes!!" Drapion's eyes widened as well, opening its mouth wide open right before Medicham landed. It gagged up poison barbs all over the warehouse floor. "Oh!" As Medicham landed, a few stuck in it's feet. It was completely caught off guard, and now it was poisoned! "Now, Sludge Bomb!" Dallas yelled out. With this, Drapion spun the top part of its body, making a cracking noise as it shot out multiple purple blobs at Medicham. Medicham couldn't really move from it's spot or else the poison would worsen. Medicham was hit head on with the Sludge Bomb attack, knocking it back into even more spikes. Medicham twitched as it fell on the floor, being consumed by poison. It looked like it was gonna start foaming at the mouth. Before the damage would get drastic, a red beam surrounded Medicham. Maylene called it back into it's Poke Ball. "Hmph! Not bad kid, not bad. That was pretty smart, waiting for Medicham to flip back so Drapion could use Toxic Spikes. Not a lot of people would've noticed and taken that opportunity." Maylene rolled Medicham's Poke Ball on her thigh, looking at Dallas up and down. "Alright, I'll give you a gym battle! However, you're not allowed to use that Drapion again. I already know all it's moves and how it battles. I could easily counter it by now, that'd be no fun! Hope you've got more Pokemon! I'd like to see them..." Dallas bit his lip with excitement. He walked over to Drapion, bumping his head with it's head. "You were amazing haha! Get some rest!" Drapion gurgled before being sent back into it's Poke Ball. "Alright miss Gym Leader, let's have that battle."
He stopped by a local burger joint to grab a quick bite to eat. Swinub looked like it wanted a bite. "No no no, you can't have this. This is adult food.

Whether she was lying or not, a battle was a battle. Dallas said, reaching for a ball in his pocket. Before he could, Maylene stopped him. "Not here, follow me." Dallas paused. Curiously following this stranger whom he just met, not knowing if she really was the GLer or not.
