Previously in Pokemon Chaos and Order...

Ash, Serena and Nate arrive at Pinwheel Forest, their last stop before reaching Virbank City. Ash and Serena go out to try and catch new Pokemon. Serena settles for an Audino but quickly finds a Fennekin instead.

Ash heads back to their Campsite and is ambushed by Team Rocket in their giant mech-suit. After fighting it with his Frogadier, Ash is surprised by Serena's return and together with her new Fennekin, they lay waist on Team Rocket.

The three arrive right on time to the boat that'll take them to Virbank City.

.......................................................................

Ash, Serena and Nate arrive at Virbank City and immediately start to look for the Gym, asking people if they know where it is.

Serena however, seems to be a little uncomfortable and uneasy. Ash quickly takes notice of Serena's tense look and behavior. "Are you okay Serena?" He asks in a worried tone. "Huh? Oh it's nothing... " she reassures him. "It's just... this town is full of Roughnecks..." she says one of these 'Roughnecks' passed by.

"YO!" He said, approaching them. "I heard you folks're looking for the Virbank Gym!" Ash gulped but tried to look brave and confident. "Y... yes sir... we are..." he stutters.

The Roughneck's facial expression changed from whatever emotion he's conveying in the photograph to goofy joy. "Well in that case I'd be happy to take you there! Follow me!" He nudges the group to follow him.

They were all staring at him in disbelief. "Well..." Ash spoke. "Might as well go..." he nudges his group to move forward. Nate followed shortly after. Serena was a bit hesitant but she eventually followed Ash, since she trusts him.

The four (and Ash's Pikachu) arrive at a sketchy door, leading into a sketchy building.

Ash then asked the obvious question. "Eh... are you sure this is it?" The roughneck then showed them a map of the city, and showed them that this is, indeed, the Virbank Gym.

The four go down some stairs before they stand before two doors with yellow and purple light flashing from the crack and really loud music coming from the other side.

'Alright... here goes nothing...' Ash thought to himself before opening the door like he's the town's Sheriff entering a bar in some Clint Eastwood movie. Suddenly the music goes silent and before him stands the Battlefield.

In the other side of the Battlefield was a group of other Roughnecks with instruments like a strap-on keyboard and a drum system. In the center of the group, with the electric guitar, stands a young woman with white hair and blue eyes.

She is wearing a blue and purple, striped, long-sleeved shirt and a blue skirt. She also had big black boots, and her hair was made to look like spikes.

"HELLO THERE!" She spoke in a loud tone, almost yelling. "I'M ROXIE, THE VIRBANK CITY GYM LEADER! ARE YOU HERE TO HAVE A SONG REQUEST?" Serena and Nate went to look at the Battle from the audience stand (which in this case actually had an audience)

Ash steps forward to his spot in the battlefield. "Nope!" He exclaims. "I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and I'm here to win a Gym Badge!" Roxie looked puzzled. "Pallet Town?" She asked him. "Isn't that in Kanto?"

Ash simply nods. "Well, since you came all the way from Kanto to have a battle with me... LET'S BEGIN!" Roxie then looks over to the Roughneck who escorted the group here. "Hey Nicki! Act as referee will ya?"

Nicki nods and moves to the referee stand. "Ok here's the deal! The Gym Battle between the Gym Leader Roxie, and the challenger Ash from Pallet Town is about to get underway! Both the Gym Leader and the challenger will have the use of two Pokemon, only the challenger is allowed to substitute. Please bring out your first Pokemon..."

Ash takes out one of his Pokeballs. "FROGADIER, I CHOOSE YOU!" He proclaims as he hurls the Pokeball forward, releasing his Frogadier. "Froga!" It croaked. 'So, he's using a Frogadier eh...' Roxie thinks to herself. "Well in that case... KOFFING ROCK ON!" She said while hurling her Pokeball forward and releasing her Pokemon.

Her Pokemon is a spherical Pokemon. It has vacant eyes and a wide mouth that usually has two pointed teeth in the upper jaw. Below its face is a cream-colored skull-and-crossbones marking. Several geyser-like protrusions, which usually release a mustard-colored gas, cover this Pokémon's body.

"Koffiiiiiiiing..." it cried out. "Hey Pikachu! It's a Koffing!" Ash says. "Pi Pikachu!" "Finally, a Pokemon I'm familiar with!" Serena however, wasn't familiar with Koffing, so she whipped out her Pokedex.

.......................................................................

Koffing, the Poison Gas Pokemon.

Koffing hovers in the air, thanks to the poisonous gases it contains, which have a foul odor and can explode.

.......................................................................

Nicki smirked. "ALRIGHT! BATTLE BEGIN!" Ash began the battle. "I know Koffing's really fast so let's deal with speed first. USE LICK!" Frogadier the jumped over towards Koffing and let out its long tongue. Frogadier then licks Koffing and wraps its tongue around it.

"Trying to paralyze Koffing to get the speed advantage..." Roxie smirked as she realized what Ash was planning. "Well it ain't gonna work for you! USE THUNDERBOLT!" "WAIT WHAT?!" Ash cried out in confusion and surprise.

Koffing's body then began to glow yellow and sparks began to flow out of it. Koffing then shot a blast of electricity at Frogadier scoring a direct hit.

Frogadier then let Koffing go of its bonds. As soon as it does yellow and blue electrical sparks start to flow around Frogadier and Koffing. Roxie gasps. Serena meanwhile is confused to what just happened. "What's going on?" She asked. "Some moves have additional effects other then just causing damage..." Nate responded.

"Lick and Thunderbolt's additional effect is to cause paralysis..." Serena looked at the battlefield. 'Come on Ash and Frogadier...' she thought. 'I know you two can do it!'

"If Lick didn't work then try this! USE POUND!" Frogadier then shook the paralysis off and began to charge at Koffing while its hands and feet glow white. "NOT SO FAST! KOFFING! USE GYRO BALL!" Roxie commands while playing some tunes on her guitar.

Koffing then spins at a fast speed causing a purple ring to surround its body vertically. Koffing then charges forward at Frogadier, intercepting with Frogadier's Pound and overpowering it, causing Frogadier to be flung backwards.

"FROGADIER!" Ash calls out to Frogadier. "Fro... GADIER!" It croacks with confidence as it jumps back to the battlefield. "GOOD JOB FROGADIER! NOW USE BUBBLE!" Ash commanded.

Frogadier was about to fire up its Bubble attack but the effects of paralysis kick in and Frogadier is rendered unable to move. "NOW'S OUR CHANCE KOFFING! USE SLUDGE BOMB!" Roxie commands.

A big wave of dark purple sludge forms around Koffing's mouth. The sludge is then hurled at Frogadier, exploding. "NO!" Ash cried out. When the dust settled, Frogadier was lying on the ground. Ash's eyes began to fill with worry.

"Frogadier is unable to battle! Koffing win..." the referee was about to say but Frogadier clutched the ground with its fist. "Fro... GAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" It cracked extremely loud, not willing to give up.

Everyone on the Gym was shocked. Roxie then showed that she was impressed. "Well I never thought a Pokemon could stand Koffing's Gyro Ball from up close like that..." she said, still messing with her guitar. "Because you impressed me, I'm gonna bend the rules a bit. Here!" She threw what looks to be a cherry at Ash.

"A Cheri Berry?!" Ash asks in disbelief. "Hey thanks a lot! Here Frogadier!" He threw the berry at Frogadier's mouth. "What's a Cheri Berry?" Serena asks. Nate looked at her with a puzzled expresion, until he remembered that she didn't attend the Pokemon Academy.

"A Cheri Berry is a type of berry that can cure a paralyzed Pokemon!" Nate explained. Frogadier ended chewing on the berry before swallowing it and feeling re-energized. "Froga!" It croaked.

"Thanks Roxie!" Ash yelled across the battlefield. Roxie smirked. "Well it's not every day I get a challenger all the way from Kanto. But curing your Paralysis is only part of my plan. KOFFING! USE POISON GAS!"

Koffing then opened its mouth and closed its eyes, releasing dark green gas from the protrusions it has, and covering the battlefield with it. Nate's eyes widened. "So Roxie wasn't just curing Frogadier's paralysis because she was impressed..." he said.

Serena turned over to him. "What do you mean?" She asked. "Poison Gas is a move that badly poisons the target. A poisoned Pokemon will keep taking damage until it faints..." Nate explained. Serena held her hands together. 'Come on Ash... you can do it! I know you can!'

The battlefield was covered in a fog of dark-green gas. Roxie was still playing tunes on her guitar while smirking. But when the dust settled we see that Ash has a smirk just as big as Roxie's. This confuses Roxie because in her mind, Frogadier is poisoned.

However, when the smoke clears, Frogadier is revealed to have used its frubbles as a gas mask to prevent itself from getting poisoned.

Roxie and everybody else except for Ash and Pikachu looked completely shocked. "It's not my first time fighting a Koffing!" Ash exclaims. "YOUR MISTAKE WAS TO COUNT EVERYTHING ON THIS ONE MOVE! USE YOUR FRUBBLES TO TRAP KOFFING!" He commanded.

Frogadier jumped high in the air and threw some of its frubbles at Koffing. "DODGE IT!" Roxie commanded. Koffing was about to dodge, but the paralysis inflicted by Frogadier's Lick kicked in and Koffing became trapped by the frubbles.

"KOFFING!" Roxie called out. Ash just smirked. "LET'S FINISH THIS FROGADIER! USE WATER PULSE!" He commanded. Frogadier then jumped high in the air one more time before releasing its Water Pulse attack, all the while croaking. "Fro... Ga... DIER!"

The Water Pulse hit Koffing directly, causing a huge explosion of steam. When the steam dissipated, Koffing was unable to continue. "KOFFING CAN NO LONGER BATTLE!" Nicki exclaimed. "FROGADIER IS THE WINNER!"

Ash and his Pokemon celebrated. "ALL RIGHT!" Ash called out. "ONE DOWN, ONE TO GO!" "PI PIKACHU!" "FROGA FROGADIER!" Roxie returned her Koffing to its Pokeball. "You rocked hard Koffing, now take a long rest..." she said to the Pokeball.

"Don't be so cocky Ash!" Roxie exclaimed. "'CAUSE NOW IT'S TIME FOR US TO TURN OUR ENERGY LEVEL UP TO ELEVEN! NOW GARBODOR ROCK ON!" She yelled while hurling her Pokeball forward, releasing her second and last Pokemon.

It has the appearance of a pile of trash spilling out of a large, torn garbage bag. It has a round, lumpy body that is mostly tan with blue and pink lumps. Its head has the appearance of the tied end of a garbage bag that has been ripped open and trails down like a cape. It has two appendages that look like clumps of garbage coming from its head. Its large, round eyes have small pupils, and when it opens its mouth, its large, triangular teeth can be seen. It has two long arms made of garbage that are held together with piping, and fingers also made up of piping material. It has one finger on its left hand and three on the other. It also has flat, dumpy feet.

"GAR BAUDER!" It cried out. Ash then pulled out his Pokedex while murmuring. "So Garbodor's her next Pokemon..."

.......................................................................

Garbodor, the Trash Heap Pokemon.

When Garbodor inhales garbage, it becomes part of its body. The fingertips on Garbodor's right hand spray a powerful liquid poison.

.......................................................................

"'K Frogadier we're gonna have to watch out for its Poison type attacks!" Ash warns Frogadier. Frogadier turned over to Ash. "Ga..." it croaked. Ash smirked. "ALRIGHT LET'S FINISH THIS BEFORE IT CAN BEGIN! USE BUBBLE!"

Frogadier immediately shot out a bubbly foam from its mouth at Garbodor. "Not gonna help you!" Roxie said while playing tunes on her guitar. "Garbodor use Hyper Beam!"

Garbodor opened its mouth, creating a small orange, yellow and purple orb near it. Garbodor then fired the orb at Frogadier, transforming it into a powerful blast. Garbodor's Hyper Beam not only intercepted and overpowered Frogadier's Bubbles, it kept going, hitting Frogadier straight on, creating a huge explosion.

"FROGADIER NO!" Ash cried out. When the dust settled, Frogadier collapsed almost immediately down to the ground. "FROGADIER CAN NO LONGER BATTLE! THE WINNER IS GARBODOR!" Nicki exclaimed, while the crowd went wild.

Ash returned Frogadier to its Pokeball and congratulated it on a job well done. "See! You're no match for me when I'm in super serious mode!" Roxie called out. "Poison type moves aren't the only tunes I rock! And at this rate I won't need to use any if them!"

"DON'T YOU DARE GO EASY ON US!" Ash yelled at her. "I SKIPPED ON BATTLING LENORA BECAUSE I ALWAYS HEARD ABOUT HOW STRONG YOU WERE! IF I CAN DEFEAT ROXIE THEN I BELIEVE ME AND MY POKEMON CAN DO ANYTHING!" The crowd then went silent, waiting for Ash's next Pokemon.

Ash looked at Pikachu. "Care to join use buddy?" He asked. "Pikachu!" It squeaked before jumping towards the Battlefield. "Alright then! Pikachu's my second Pokemon!" Ash exclaimed before the crowd resumed its roar.

"LET'S GO GARBODOR! USE BELCH!" Roxie commanded while playing tunes on her guitar. Garbodor then opened its mouth and released a big purple sonic shockwave at Pikachu (the sound it made is a burping sound)

Pikachu was hit by Garbodor's supersonic belch but it stood its ground. "DON'T GIVE UP BUDDY! USE QUICK ATTACK!" Ash commanded. "PIKAPIKAPIKAPIKAPIKAPIKAPIKAPIKA!" Pikachu squeaked as it became surrounded by a blue aura and charging at Garbodor with incredible speed.

Roxie difn't give any orders to Garbodor, she just played something on her guitar. Without being given an order, Garbodor stepped out of the Quick Attack's way, moving with the same rhythm as the song Roxie is playing.

Ash gritted his teeth. "NOW USE THUNDERBOLT!" He commanded. "Piii... Kaaaa... CHUUUUU!" Pikachu squeaked before releasing a powerful yellow and blue electric blast at Garbodor, who just dodged again, with no orders.

"IRON TAIL NOW!" Pikachu's tail then flashed white for a split second, transforming it into a shiny-silver metal. Pikachu charged forward with its metallic tail, ready to hit Garbodor.

Instead of dodging though, Garbodor just clamped its hands on Pikachu's tail, trapping it. Ash tried to tell Pikachu to get out of there but Roxie spoke faster. "NOW USE BELCH AGAIN!"

Garbodor created the purple shockwave again, hitting Pikachu at point-blank range. Pikachu was sent flying backwards before hitting the battlefield. Ash just ran over to his injured partner. Pikachu was still able to battle but Ash could tell that one more hit from Garbodor would mean it's over.

'How come Garbodor always gets the upper hand?' Ash thought to himself, trying to think of a strategy that would win him the battle. Ash then looked over to Roxie, and just NOW took notice that she was playing on her guitar.

Ash then thinks about the way that Garbodor dodged Pikachu's attacks, and made the mental connection to the rhythm of the song. 'THAT'S IT! Garbodor moves by the tune of the song Roxie's playing!' He then stood up and gave Pikachu a confident look.

"I have a plan buddy! You willing to try?" Ash asked. "Pika Pi!" Pikachu squeaked before jumping back to the battle. Roxie then switched herself to attack mode. "LET'S WRAP THIS UP GARBODOR! HYPER BEAM!" She commanded, still playing.

Garbodor then shot the same blast from before at Pikachu. 'Here goes nothing...' Ash thought before opening his mouth. "Here comes trouble..." he said. As soon as Pikachu heard Ash say this, it got out of the way of Garbodor's Hyper Beam, to the astonishment of everybody there.

'Yes! Garbodor needs to recharge! Now's my chance to strike!' Ash thought before opening his mouth again. "No mistaking..." he said. Pikachu turned around, gave Ash a look of understanding before turning over to Garbodor and shooting out a Thunderbolt attack at it, hitting it straight on.

"I'd know you anywhere..." Ash said again, causing Pikachu to land perfectly. Nate and Serena stood there in the audience stand, completely baffled by what Ash is doing. Serena however, gets a sensation of Deja Vu. 'I know I heard this song before...' she thought. 'But WHERE?!'

Roxie then decided to hide the fact that she's intimidated by smirking and giving Garbodor another command. "USE GUNK SHOT NOW!" Garbodor then put its hands together, causing a silver light to sparke between them. The light then turns into a black bag of garbage outlined in purple, which Garbodor hurls at Pikachu.

"I could sail till the ends of the ocean and..." Ash said, causing Pikachu to use Iron Tail and destroy the pile of garbage. "...Find you waiting there..." he kept going.

Ash then looked straight at Pikachu. "Alright buddy time to wrap this up!" He said, causing Pikachu to give an arm pump in return. Roxie kept playing. "You're right!" She said. "It IS time to wrap this up! WITH ONE MORE GUNK SHOT!"

Garbodor then hurled another pile of trash at Pikachu. Ash however knew what to do. "DODGE IT AND USE ELECTRIC TERRAIN!" He commanded. Pikachu swiftly jumped over the trash bag that was hurled at it, doing a flip in the process.

Pikachu then stood up on its rear legs, before slamming its hind legs to the ground, creating an expulsion of electric energy all around the Gym, engulfing it in a bubble of electricity.

"NOW LET'S FINISH THIS UP PIKACHU!" Ash exclaimed excitingly. "USE THUNDERBOLT!" Pikachu then shot out a bigger electric blast at Garbodor. "Piii... Kaaa... CHUUUUUU!!!!!!!" Pikachu's Thunderbolt was so powerful it cracked the ground by just being near it.

"QUICK! FOCUS BLAST!" Roxie commanded. Garbodor who started to create said Focus Blast, just as it was hit by the full force of Pikachu's Electric Terrain charged Thunderbolt, creating a huge explosion that sent out dust and smoke all the way around the room.

Pikachu then turned the Electric Terrain off, a little before the dust cleared. When the dust finally cleared, Garbodor was lying on the ground, unable to get up. "UNBELIEVABLE!" Nicki exclaimed. "GARBODOR IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! PIKACHU'S THE WINNER! MEANING THAT THE VICTORY GOES TO ASH!"

Pikachu then jumped towards Ash and gave him a big hug. "WE DID IT PIKACHU!" He said with the same cheerful tone he always has. "You rocked hard Garbodor. Have a good long rest..." Roxie said as she returned Garbodor to its Pokeball.

After clearing the audience from the Gym (except for Serena, Nate and Nicki), Roxie stepped towards Ash. "I gotta admit, when I first looked at you, I thought you were no match to my rock n' roll battle style..." Roxie admitted. "But not only did you take notice to what I did but you also used it against me! Now that means you're strong!"

"Thanks Roxie..." Ash thanked her. "Now, as proof that you beat me, take this!" She pulled out something from her sleeve. "It's the Toxic Badge!" It was shaped like a smoke signal with four small purple circles lining up to a poison mark.

Ash takes a moment to admire his new achievement before thanking Roxie and putting it in his Badge case, next to the Trio Badge.

"OH YEAH! ONE MORE THING BEFORE I GO!" Ash suddenly remembered something as they were about to leave. He pulls out what looks to be a track record of Roxie's band 'Koffing and the Toxics'

"My friend is a huge fan of yours and he asked me to get him your autograph..." Roxie just smiled and autographed Ash's record.

Ash, Serena and Nate walk out of the Gym and start to thibk about where to go next. Suddenly Serena walks up to Ash. "Ash..." she says. "What is it Serena?" Ash turns his head to look at her. "That song you sang... what was it?" She asked in a stuttering tone.

Ash sighed before putting his palms behind his head (Anime style)

"Well it was supposed to be a surprise but my big head forgot about it..." he scolded himself. "It was a song I wrote for your birthday back at summer camp! Here are the lyrics!" Ash gave Serena a piece of paper. Serena just stood there in shock.
