After Shiro caught a couple Pokémon on Route 3, she and Kuro finally arrived in Nacrene City, Here they hope to battle the Nacrene city gym leader -- Lenora. They finally made it to the secret underground chamber of the room where the gym leader lies and waits. Shiro was shinning with energy, as she jumped up and down pumped up while Kuro....was nervous, and shaking. Lerona stared at them from the other side of the room, holding onto her Pokéball with a smile on her face.

Lerona: Both of you against me, correct?

Shiro: Yeah!

Kuro: Y-Yeah.

Ref: Then this will be a 2 vs 1 battle. Once all Pokémon on either side faints, the battle Is over.

Kuro(Thoughts) She's gotta be a really good trainer..... She's going to take us both on at once!?

Shiro(Thoughts) Alright. We can do this. With Kuro by my side, this fight will be easy. All I have to do is protect whoever he sends out.

Kuro pointed at Lenora, and Oshawott jumped down from his shoulder and onto the field. Shiro threw her Pokéball up, and Snivy came out from it. Then Lenora threw her Pokéball lightly in the air --- And a huge Pokémon had made its way out of it, the Pokemon Stoutland. Kuro was intimated and shaking. He wanted to say "Oshawott come back, I don't know if you could handle that Pokémon", But Shiro grabbed his hat and moved it up a little --- Making them lock eyes.

Shiro: Kuro. It's going to be okay, We're working together of course. We can beat her Pokémon!

Kuro started to blush a bit, and he nodded. Staring right into her eyes. He was still scared but he believed in Shiro, and Shiro believed in him.

Lenora: Stoutland, Thunder fang!

Stoutland opened its mouth and it showed its fangs cloaked in lighting! Scoutland charged at Oshawott. Oshawott tried to grab the Scallop from his chest and back up one step. Before Stoutland could sink its fangs into Oshawott, Snivy used her vines to open Stoutland's jaw wider, as she tried to keep in in place

Lenora: My, My. For such a small Pokémon, it's really got some power.

Stoutland bit into Snivy's Vine, and Snivy let out a cry, as Stoutland threw Snivy into a wall by her vine and once that happened Oshawott had jumped above of Stoutland and slammed down in front of Stoutland as it pierced its enemy with his Razor shell, the attack where Oshawott holds his Scallop as if it was the handle of a sword, like a light blue aura emitted from the tip of it. It was his own little sword. Stoutland took a couple of steps back and rammed its head into Oshawott, but Snivy pounded her tail onto Stoutland's head, as Stoutland's aim was disturbed, and Stoutland missed entirely. Shiro: Got em'!

Lenora: Stoutland, hyper beam on Snivy.

A huge beam of energy formed in front of Stoutland's mouth, as it blasted out towards Snivy.

Kuro: W-Water gun o-on Snivy!

Oshawott Unleashed a beam of water at Snivy, blasting it away from the beam as it blasted a hole in the wall behind Shiro and Kuro.

Shiro: Nice save, Kuro. Snivy, Vine Whip!

Stoutland couldn't attack back as if it was drained from all it's energy, as Snivy started to whip Stoutland with her vines over and over again. Oshawott ran towards Stoutland and tackled it, But it went inside Stoutland's fur and quickly ran back out. When Oshawott landed back on the ground, Stoutland Unleashed a thunder fang on Oshawott, then Snivy jumped in front of the attack and was blasted into the wall behind Shiro and Kuro, as they both turned around.

Shiro: Snivy!

Lenora: Saw that coming. You should really worry about yourself you know.

Kuro: Oshawott! Water gun o-on Stout- Lenora: Shadow Ball.

Lenora had cut Off Kuro, as Stoutland formed a ball of Dark energy in front of it, and blasted it towards Oshawott. Oshawott took the hit and was thrown in the air and hit the ground hard. As Oshawott struggled to stand up Stoutland charged towards Oshawott and jumped in the air.

Lenora: Hyper Beam!

A huge beam of energy formed in front of Stoutland's mouth, as it blasted out towards Oshawott.

Shiro: Leaf tornado.

A tornado had blown up under Stoutland, blowing it even higher in the air as it blasted the beam at the roof of the gym, creating a huge hole. But the Pokémon who attacked Stoutland was one never seen before. It was a Pokémon that is primarily green with a cream underside and narrow red eyes. It has a yellow V-shaped structure that starts at the chest and extends behind the shoulders, it seemed to be Another form of Snivy. This was Servine -- The evolved form of Snivy. Stoutland hit the ground face first, as he stood back up, and Servine slammed Stoutland back down to the ground.

Kuro: W-Whoa! W-Where's Snivy?

Shiro: She's right there. That's. Her evolved form, Servine.

Kuro: C-Cool...

Shiro: Now let's finish this.

Kuro: R-Right.

Shiro: Leaf Tornado.

Kuro: R-Razor shell!

Lenora: Hit him with all you got!

Servine jumped up, and a huge tornado spiraled up from Stoutland's feet. Blowing it in the air, and Stoutland unleashed a huge hyper beam at Servine, but Oshawott jumped all the way up to Stoutland and it's blue aura shaped as the blade of a sword extended and Oshawott slashed Stoutland down in the form of an "X". Stoutland fell to the ground hard -- It was knocked out. Oshawott landed on top of Stoutland and jumped off.

Kuro: N-No way....We...

Lenora: My, My.

Shiro: We won!!!

Shiro jumped up and down, full of excitement, as she placed Kuro's hat back on his head. Kuro smiled a bit and covered his eyes and face with his hat. He was blushing again. He liked seeing Shiro happy, he just didn't want her to see. Oshawott ran back to Kuro, and jumped towards him, as Kuro held him in his arms. Servine walked next to Shiro, moving her hands around signaling "Calm down!". Shiro stopped jumping and hugged Servine.

Kuro: Good work out there, Oshawott.

Shiro: You were amazing out there Sniv- Servine. Hehe...

Servine smiled, and Oshawott laughed. Everyone was happy. Lenora walked towards them and threw two objects in the air.

Lenora: Catch.

Oshawott caught one, and Shiro caught the other, as Oshawott handed it to Kuro.

Kuro: Badge number two...

Shiro: Thanks for the fight, Lenora!

Kuro nodded. Oshawott sat on top of Kuro's head, and Shiro grabbed Kuro's hand and rushed out, full of happiness and joy. Lenora laughed a little bit.

Lenora: That match was quite entertaining, but their teamwork is lacking. If Kuro could depend on himself more and Shiro wouldn't have to defend him as much, then they would be a good match.
