>Which way is the in-arena wind blowing?
> The arena wind is a spiraling vortext, but Pidgeotto is creating a whirlwind to accelerate, so the wind is kind of blowing towards Pidgeotto from where Lighter stands.
>If it is blowing towards the Pidgeotto, then in theory the wind should boost our fire attack. Unless an ignore order is given against, Light that [censored] on FIRE.
Agreed
> Lighter does what it does best; lights that [censored] on fire. This leads to a spinning flaming vortex of doom that hits your Charmander and the ground head on. Fortunately, Lighter manages to get up out of the burning crater Pidgeotto just now made, whereas the bird only twitches twitching. The gym leader is having trouble speaking.
> "Yo, uh, well," Falkner begins. After a minute of this, he calls his Pidgeotto back.
"Yo, trainer. Ain't gonna lie, you beat me. Here's yo Zephyr badge and yo prize money!"
> You receive 5000 P! You now have 22,600 P. "Also, have this, on me. It's TM 51, roost. It lets yo flying types take a break to heal themselves, fo-sho. Last thing yo, yo ain't half bad. If you ever want me to teach those flying types how to make whirlwinds, drop 'em off here. I'll teach them for just 5000 P, k?"
> You thank the boy for the badge, but you don't stick around very long. You need to rush to the pokemon center; Flint was pretty badly injured in the battle. You meet the nurse in the reception area and hand her your pokemon.
> "The leader is polite?" you ask the nurse, reflecting on your previous conversation.
> "Well, he can be when he tries. He tried to go all gansta on yo ass, didn't he?" The nurse sighs. "He tends to fall back on that bad boy attitude when riled. He can be more polite, when he bothers trying..."
> "...And my pokemon?"
> "Spearow will have to stay overnight, but your Charmander is good to go. Considering they aren't both down, I take it you won?" The nurse asks. You nod. "Then congradulations!" The nurse says, handing back Charmander. You walk away from the reception desk, and notice that Patchouli has awoken from her nap.
> The librarian yawns. "Looks like you had some fun during. Hope it went well.
As for me, I'm going ghost hunting." She dons her bag and is about to leave the center. "Are you coming?"
