Clair- Evolving Thoughts

You and your Pokémon beat Clair in a Gym battle, but she doesn't want to give you her badge, until she finds out that you have a certain Pokémon. This is Gym Leader Clair, part of the Pokésex- Johto Version Series that includes encounters with other Gym Leaders like Lyra, Whitney, Karen, Jasmine, and Misty.

Your Current Team: TYPHLOSION Lv40, AMPHAROS Lv38, HERACROSS Lv38, ESPEON Lv37, SEADRA Lv39, MAMOSWINE Lv38 Your Current Badges: ZEPHYR BADGE, HIVE BADGE, PLAIN BADGE, FOG BADGE, STORM BADGE, MINERAL BADGE, GLACIER BADGE

After you got your Mineral Badge from Jasmine, there was no reason stopping you from heading straight to Mahogany Town. Heracross and Ampharos took care of the Ice type Gym Leader Pryce's Dewgong and Seel, while your newly evolved Seadra defeated his Piloswine. With the Glacier Badge secured, you helped Johto Champion Lance take care of Team Rocket again. Defeating the Team Rocket Grunts was more of a chore after Goldenrod City, but you pulled through and stopped Team Rocket for good this time.

You then headed for Blackthorn City, catching a Swinub in Ice Path that quickly evolved into a Piloswine. When you reached Blackthorn City, you found a move relearner who helped your Piloswine learn Ancient Power, which caused it to evolve into Mamoswine while navigating the Blackthorn City Gym, searching for its Dragon-type specialist Gym Leader.

The only Pokémon on your team that hadn't reached its final evolution was Seadra, which becomes a Water and Dragon type when it evolves into Kingdra. You didn't know how you would evolve it without someone to trade with, never mind someone who had a Dragon Scale.

When it came to the battle, all of your Pokémon played a part against hers. The most surprising was your Seadra winning against her superior Kingdra with Toxic, Double Team to boost evasion, and multiple super effective Twisters to secure victory. You won the battle, but something unexpected happened next.

"I might have lost the battle, but you still haven't proven you're ready for the Pokémon League yet," Clair says, crossing her arms. You feel disappointed but try not to show it.

She reconsiders, tapping her chin. "Although... your Seadra wasn't fully evolved, yet it beat my Kingdra. If it were to evolve, it could be formidable." Her eyes light up with an idea.

"I think I know how you can prove yourself worthy. You want to evolve your Seadra, don't you?" You're immediately surprised and nod affirmatively.

Clair smiles, producing a Dragon Scale before tucking it away. "You could get both the Rising Badge and an evolved Kingdra," she says, stepping closer. She reaches out and gently touches you. "But I want you to do something in return." Her grin widens. "Are you confident you can breed the feisty Dragon Tamer?"

You start blushing, fully understanding what she's suggesting.
