erin marched into the gym, machop was stronger than ever after taking on what he did, he explained what he was doing before running to brocks territory and demanding a battle and being supplied by a geodude using rock throw machop quickly dodged and hit his with a karate chop he was barely dodging the rocked before one smashed him in the mouth though machop quickly recovered he was displayed a wave of more and more rocks, He wouldn't have been able to dodge them if he didn't have rattata to cheer him on, they had ditched the pokeballs, once they were friends he didn't need them anyway he was sure they wouldn't run away and they deserved the right to if they did. again machop used karate chop but continued with break break, knocking geodude cold.Next was onix, he wasn't sure if size made a difference but his plan to use seismic toss all of a sudden was knocked out instantly, quickly he began wailing on the big boulder serpent but was taken out barely keeping onix up he had been beaten bad, but now machop could not battle, it was up to Rattata and being a normal type he was at a disadvantage. Still he went for double team, working as usual and giving a large fury of quick attacks followed by a tackle before he realized he had managed to beat the onix, to his surprise he had won
