Gyms
What's happened to the old
gym leaders since the TV series? What new gyms are there? These
questions are about to be answered.
Pewter City
Run by Petra, Brock's daughter.
See her profile
for more stuff about her.
Cerulean City
Run by Misty's sisters,
who are now a lot older and considerably smarter, too. They're all
married as well, and their husbands live with them in houses near the gym.
When Aoife gets there, she fights Daisy's daughter, Rose. The Pokemon
she has are Staryu, Seaking, Gyarados, and Horsea.
Azure City
This is a new city, and
you know the path you take in the game to get to the Rock Tunnel?
It's around that area. The gym leaders are twin sisters, Sora and
Raven Starling. Sora's profile is up and you can see it here.
They train flying Pokemon, and they have the Stratos Badge, which is shaped
like those wings you get on the airlines.
Vermillion City
Lt. Surge got drafted again
and went back to the army, so his gym is being run by a woman named Rei
who is a total bitch, which is not good news for Aoife and co. She
has Raichu and Electabuzz.
Lavender Town
Yes, this place gets a gym.
It's run by three brothers: Aidan, Kieran, and
Ewan Specter. They train ghost Pokemon, of course. Their father
is a channeler, and their mother is (surprise!) Duplica. They own
the Phantom Badge, which is shaped like a silver crescent moon with a purple
pearly thing peeking out from behind it sorta (see
image).
Saffron City
Sabrina, it turns out, married
that Russian guy that was in Abra and the Psychic Showdown (whom I gave
the name of Vlad). She had a daughter named Sonya, who Aoife fights.
Sonya has Kadabra, Snorlax, Butterfree, and Hypno.
And you know in the game,
how there's the Fighting Dojo? It's in this fanfic, and it has an
actual badge (the Meteor Badge, which is shaped like a shooting star) even
though it's not an official league gym. The leader is Ferio Crawford,
and you can see her profile here.
Celadon City
Erika's still there, but
she's like 40 now (and still looks about 26 thanks to her Vileplume wrinkle
cream ^^). Gloom evolved, and she still has Weepinbell, and she has
an Iveon.
Fuschia City
Koga's still there, although
he's not doing much in the way of Pokemon training, so Aya took over and
you can get the badge if you beat her. She has Sneezing (see the
new Pokemon page), Ekans, and Nidoqueen.
Chartreuse City
This is a new city!
It's on Seafoam Islands. The leaders are Danae Dragyn and Ruari Dragyn,
who train dragon Pokemon. Aoife fights Ruari,
who has Dragonair, Gyarados, Denryuu (a new one from Pokemon Gold and Silver),
and Lapras. Their badge is the Tempest Badge, which looks remotely
like this.
Cinnabar Island
Blaine isn't there anymore,
he's been hospitalized for some reason, so he's replaced by Cloud.
Cloud is the name I came up with for the guy in Wake Up Snorlax with the
Pokeflute, that hippie guy. He has his Snorlax, and Blaine's old
Magmar and Arcanine.
Viridian City
Giovanni left Team Rocket,
so the new boss is Cassidy (Butch is her second-in-command, and yes, Jessie
and James are still there too but they are now actually competent). She
and Butch use Raticate, Drowzee, and a new Onix, and J&J have Ekans,
Koffing, Likitung, and Victreebel as usual. The problem is, Aoife
has to fight three Team Rockets at once: the Bosses Butch and Cassidy,
J and J, and the other B and C, Bonnie and Clyde. |
