Sam walked through the grass when he suddenly found a Fletchling. Froakie came out of his pokeball and used his bubble on the pokemon. The Fletchling responded with a tackle. Sam used a pokeball on it, and after it shook three times, it shut. He got back to the gym, seeing his new friends already left. He challenged the gymleader, and after the rules were explained and surskit was sent out, Sam sent out his Froakie once more. 

Surskit opened with quick attack, and Froakie did the same. They clashed and both got send airborn, but Froakie was the first to regain his balance. "Again, quick attack!" Sam said, and Froakie followed his order. Surskit used bubble but Froakie evaded the attack and hit Surskit again. This time, Surskit couldn't endure the attack and fainted. The next pokemon send out was Vivillon, and Sam kept Froakie in battle.

Froakie used his bubble on Vivillon, but it was too fast and evaded the attack, then countered with tackle. Froakie responded with a quick attack, trying to keep up with Vivillon's speed, but Vivillon used tackle again and used Froakie's speed against him. Froakie fainted, and Sam now used his new pokemon Fletchling.

Fletchling used quick attack to come closer to Vivillon, but when Vivillon tried tackling the bird pokemon, it instead used his speed to avoid the Vivillon and get behind it. "Now, use peck!" As the Vivillon turned around, Fletchling charged into the bug type and used its peck to pin it to the ground. "Finish it with another peck!" Sam said, and with a final peck, the bug typ was defeated.

Sam got awarded the Bug Gym Badge, thanked the gym leader for the battle and headed for the pokemon center. Once there, he saw his friends again. "There you guys are. I thought you might already have left town. So where are we going next?"
