Story[]
Peter and the gang we're walking through Azalea Town in search of the gym.
Hobie: It was nice of Kurt to let us stay over at his house yesterday.
Totodile: Totodile
Lyra: Yeah, he even told us where the gym is. What does it look like again?
Marill: Marill?
Peter: I think he said the gym is a building with a large glass dome as the roof.
Spinarak: Spinarak
Harry looks at the right.
Harry: I think I see it
The four trainers stop as they see the building with the dome shaped roof
Peter: Good eye, Harry. Let's go
Harry: Yeah, second badge here we come!
The trainers walk inside the building. When they got in, the inside of the gym looked like a big forest. It even has some Bug Pokémon playing around. The four trainers were in awe at the interior of the gym.
Lyra: Whoa!
Peter: Yeah, this place is beautiful
Spinarak: Spinarak
Spinarak was admiring the trees and the plants in the gym
Hobie: It's like a big greenhouse.
Harry notices some Caterpies and Weedles on some of the trees or hanging from String Shots.
Harry: And there are even some Bug Pokémon here
Voice: Welcome!
Peter and his friends were surprised when they heard that voice. They looked around to see where the voice is coming from.
Peter: Who said that?
Voice: Up here
The trainers look up and sees a young boy standing on a branch of a tree. The boy is wearing a hiking vest and shorts. He has purple hair and blue eyes. He was even carrying a butterfly net.
Harry: Hello. Are you the gym leader?
Bugsy: Yep. That's me. I'm Bugsy, Azalea Town Gym leader and Bug Pokémon trainer extraordinaire. (he jumps off the branch and lands in front of the trainers) So, have you four come to challenge me?
Hobie: Actually, Peter and Harry are challenging. Me and Lyra are just watching.
Bugsy: I see
Lyra: You must really like Bug Pokémon do you?
Bugsy: Uh huh. I love Bug Pokémon so much that I made my gym as a haven for them. I make sure they are treated well
Peter: That's nice to hear
Bugsy: Thanks. (looks at Peter's Spinarak) And judging by that Spinarak on your shoulder, I guess you also like Bug Pokémon too.
Peter: Well, I do have some Bug Pokémon in my team. So you could say that I guess.
Bugsy: That's cool. What's your name again?
Peter: Peter Parker
Bugsy: Well, Peter. I'll be happy to take your challenge.
Peter: You're on
Spinarak: Spin
End Scene
Peter and Bugsy are standing on opposite sides of a battlefield. Spinarak was by Peter's side. Harry, Hobie, Lyra, and their Pokémon are sitting on a bench on the sidelines watching the battle.
Referee: The gym battle between Bugsy the Azalea Town Gym leader and Peter, the challenger is about to begin. Each trainers will use three Pokémon and the battle will be over when either sides' Pokémon is down. Also, only the challenger can make substitutions.
Bugsy: You ready, Peter?
Peter: We sure are Bugsy. We're gonna show how strong our bond is. Right, buddy?
Spinarak: Spin!
Bugsy: Let's do it then. Spinarak, I choose you!
Bugsy throws out a Poké Ball and his Spinarak comes out
Bugsy's Spinarak: Spinarak!
Peter and Spinarak were surprised that the gym leader has a Spinarak too. Even Harry, Hobie, and Lyra were surprised.
Peter: (thinking) Whoa! Bugsy has a Spinarak too. Who knew. (Spinarak was glaring at Bugsy's Spinarak who then looks at Peter with a determined look. Peter smiles) You want to battle first huh? Okay, Spinarak, go get it.
Spinarak: Spin!
Spinarak crawls onto the field and faces Bugsy's Spinarak.
Lyra: Hmm. Spinarak vs Spinarak . Which one would win?
Marill: Marill?
Harry: I'll bet it's Peter's
Hobie: I guess we'll see
Totodile: Toto!
Referee: Battle begin!
Bugsy: Spinarak, start this off with Poison Sting
Bugsy's Spinarak shoots Poison Sting at Peter's Spinarak.
Peter: Dodge and use Poison Sting
Peter's Spinarak dodges and shoots Poison Sting at Bugsy's Spinarak. It deals little damage.
Bugsy: Spinarak, now use String Shoot
Peter: Use String Shot too Spinarak
Both Spinarak shoots String Shot which connects to each other. Peter then get's an idea
Peter: Now, spin it around
Bugsy: What?
Peter's Spinarak spins Bugsy's Spinarak around with the string of web. It then lets go causing Bugsy's Spinarak to crash into a nearby tree. This injures it
Bugsy: Spinarak, are you okay? (Bugsy's Spinarak crawls back onto the field and nods it's head though it winces in pain) How did you that?
Peter: Let's just say that, me and Spinarak found a creative way to use String Shot.
Spinarak: Spinarak!
Bugsy: I see. Spinarak, use Poison Sting
Bugsy's Spinarak shoots Poison Sting
Peter: Spinarak, jump over and use Absorb
Peter's Spinarak flips over Bugsy's Spinarak and is about to use Absorb, but Bugsy sees it
Bugsy: Gotcha! Spinarak use String Shot
Peter: Huh?
Bugsy's Spinarak shoots String Shot from it's rear which ties Peter's Spinarak up
Hobie: Whoa. I did not see that coming
Totodile: Toto
Bugsy: Now attack Peter's Spinarak with another Poison Sting!
Bugsy's Spinarak shoots another Poison Sting at Peter's Spinarak
Peter: Spinarak, this may sound silly, but roll to dodge. And then use Absorb.
Peter's Spinarak rolls away from the Poison Sting and then rolls itself at Bugsy's Spinarak's side. It then use Absorb on Bugsy's Spinarak which drain some of it's energy.
Peter: Good job, Spinarak
Spinarak then begins to use a different move which covers Bugsy's Spinarak in black bugs which also deals damage to it as well.
Bugsy: Oh no!
Lyra: What is that?
Hobie: I think that's Infestation. A Bug Type move
Peter: Cool, you learned a new move Spinarak. Okay, now use Poison Sting full power.
Peter's Spinarak uses Poison Sting which deals damage.
Peter: Now one more Absorb!
Spinarak breaks free of the web and then scurries over to Bugsy's Spinarak and uses Absorb. Bugsy's Spinarak then faints.
Referee: The gym leader's Spinarak is unable to battle, the challenger's Spinarak wins. Choose your next Pokémon.
Peter: Yes!
Spinarak: Spin!
Harry: Yep, I was right. Peter's Spinarak was able to win
Cyndaquil: Cynda!
Bugsy: Return Spinarak. (returns his Spinarak to it's Poké Ball) I have to say, Peter. Your Spinarak sure has skills. Okay then, my next Pokémon is Metapod.
He throws another Poké Ball and summons Metapod.
Metapod: Metapod
Peter: Metapod, huh? Spinarak return for now. I might need you later. (Spinarak nods it's head and scurries back to Peter's side. Peter takes out Metapod's Poké Ball) All right, your turn Metapod.
He sends out his Metapod which faces against Bugsy's Metapod.
Hobie: Now it's Metapod vs. Metapod? I sure hope Peter knows what he's doing.
Totodile: Dile
Just then one of Harry's Poké Ball opens and Weedle appears
Weedle: Weedle
Harry: Oh Weedle. You want to watch? (Weedle nods it's head) Okay.
Referee: Battle begin!
Peter: Metapod, start this off with Tackle!
Peter's Metapod jumps over to Bugsy's Metapod for a Tackle
Bugsy: Metapod, Harden!
Bugsy's Metapod uses Harden which makes Peter's Metapod deal little damage.
Peter: Then try this. Metapod use String Shot and pull in for a Tackle.
Peter's Metapod shoots String Shot at Bugsy's Metapod and pulls itself to it which causes some damage.
Bugsy: Oh yeah? Metapod use your Tackle
Bugsy's Metapod jumps towards Peter's Metapod

Bugsy: Metapod!
Peter: Now use Tackle again

Bugsy: I don't believe it
Lyra: Is that what I think it is?
Harry: Yeah, Metapod's evolving
Cyndaquil: Cynda!
Weedle: (in awe) Weedle!

Peter: Wow (takes out his Pokédex and scans Butterfree)
Peter's Pokédex: Butterfree, the Butterfly Pokémon and the evolved form of Metapod. It flits from flower to flower, collecting honey. It can even identify distant flowers in bloom.
Lyra: It's beautiful!
Marill: Marill
Even Weedle was admiring it's friends new form
Peter: Congratulations Butterfree! You evolved!
Butterfree nods happily at his trainer
Bugsy: Just because it evolved, doesn't mean we can't continue. Metapod use String Shot.
Metapod shot String Shot but Butterfree flutters to the right to avoid the attack.

He throws his last Poké Ball and Scyther comes out.
Scyther: Scyther!
Peter and Spinarak were surprised as they remembered facing off against a Team Rocket grunt's Scyther when they first became a crime fighting team. But they quickly shook it off as they focus on the gym battle.
Peter: Want to go on, Butterfree? (Butterfree nods his head in determination) Okay.
Referee: Battle begin!
Peter: Butterfree, let's start this off with Gust!
Butterfree uses Gust making a strong wind against Scyther

Bugsy: Scyther, dodge it and use Fury Cutter

Spinarak let's go of the web and shoots a barrage of Poison Sting at Scyther. They both land on the ground. Both Pokémon are starting to get tired.
Peter: Spinarak, restrain Scyther with Infestation!
