Sam and shade walked out of the gym after a long battle with Brock. It had started with his geodude. They had used iron tail to start off but it did little to geodude after it used defense curl. After several failed attempts to his geodude with an assurance attack they used dual chop and were hit by a rock throw. They finished the geodude off with another dual chop. Up next came his onix. They started with dual chop this time. The first move that onix used was sand tomb. It slowed shade down a bit but they tried to use iron tail and did minimal damage to onix. The next few turns of moves missed and they tried one more dual chop and finished onix off. Sam smiled and walked with shade to the pokemon center to heal up.
