I flew back to Olivine City and went straight for the Lighthouse and up the elevator. I reached the top and gave Jasmine the Secret Potion, and she told me that Amphy wouldn't take anything from anyone but her. She used the Secret Potion on Amphy, and it quickly perked up and felt better. It starting to shimmer, then it glowed bright and lit up the chamber. Jasmine was happy to see Amphy healthy and happy again, and she thanked me before returning to the Olivine Gym.
After I left the Lighthouse, my Pokegear rang. It was Baoba, who told me that the Safari Zone was finally opened. He told me I could find it through the gate inside the cavern in Cianwood City, which I had passed by when I saw Suicune. He asked me to come visit, and I planned on doing so after I got my next Badge.
I decided before fighting Jasmine that I should train my team and make them stronger before we went for the next Badge. I knew that whatever her focus, my team would have a hard time against her Pokemon.With a lot of training on Route 40 and Route 41, my team all grew to Level 30, Blake evolved into Feraligator and learned Crunch in place of Bite, and Edward evolved into Electabuzz. I knew my team was ready for the challenge ahead!
My team consisted of:
Samuel (Monferno, Fire/Fighting, Lv. 30)
Blake (Feraligatr, Water, Lv. 30)
Lucas (Pidgeotto, Normal/Flying, Lv. 30)
Seth (Weepinbell, Grass/Poison, Lv. 30)
Edward (Electabuzz, Electric, Lv. 30)
Claire (Haunter, Ghost/Poison, Lv. 30)
I went inside and found a relatively simple design, a straight path to the Gym Leader with side paths for Trainers to stand ready for challengers. I was told by the man inside that Jasmine's focus was on Steel-Type Pokemon, and I knew Samuel would be the one to get through this.
I went ahead, and was stopped by an old man near the entrance. He thanked me for helping the Gym Leader, and told me that a Battle was a separate matter. He told me to go for it, and I continued toward Jasmine. I was stopped by another girl, who told me she knew how capable I was from the Lighthouse. She told me to show Jasmine that side of myself, and wished me luck.
I felt pretty good about myself and my team as I talked to Jasmine. She thanked me for my help at the Lighthouse, then she introduced herself properly. She told me that she used the Steel type, and asked if I knew about it. She described their strength and defense against attacks, then the battle started.
Jasmine sent out Magnemite, and I sent out Samuel against it. Samuel used Flame Wheel for massive damage, but Magnemite clung on to counter with Thunder Wave to paralyze Samuel. Jasmine used a Hyper Potion to heal Magnemite, then Samuel used Mach Punch for massive damage. Samuel hit it with Mach Punch again, and it was knocked out, and another Magnemite was sent out.
I kept Samuel in the fight, and Magnemite used Supersonic to confuse Samuel on top of his paralysis, and then he hurt himself in his confusion. Magnemite then struck with Thunderbolt for massive damage, and Samuel hurt himself in his confusion. I gave Samuel a Hyper Potion to heal him fully, then he got hit by Thunderbolt, and it was a critical hit that knocked him out anyway. I sent Claire out against Magnemite, and she used Shadow Ball for great damage, then it countered with Thunderbolt for massive damage. Claire used Destiny Bond to link Magnemite, then it used Thunderbolt to knock her out and was dragged with her.
Finally I sent out Blake, and she sent out Steelix. Blake used Surf for massive damage, but it clung on and used a Sitrus Berry to heal itself a bit, before it countered with Iron Tail for great damage. Blake used Surf again for massive damage, and knocked Steelix out easily.
With Steelix defeated, the battle was over! Jasmine accepted her defeat, knowing that I was a better Trainer than she was. I received the Mineral Badge from Jasmine, which means all Pokemon to Level 70 would obey me, and she also handed over TM23 (Iron Tail) which is a powerful Steel-Type attack which occasionally lowers the target's defense too.
Jasmine wished me luck, and I left proud of my team. I was glad my training had done so well, even if two of them had been knocked out by the Gym Leader. I left the building and received a call from Lyra, who informed me of a Bug-Catching Contest in the National Park. I considered going back and trying my hand at catching a Scyther...
