Sammie looked at the sign out in front of the large building, nodding her head at it. She didn't want to seem cocky, but she was fairly certain in herself at this point; she had the type advantage going into this thing with Squirt at her side. Now if she could just work over these pre-first-gym-battle-ever-butterflies, she'd be good to go. Sadly, this was easier said than done. "Are you ready to do this thing, Squirt?" Samantha would say, looking down at her little blue pal. The reassuring call back up at the trainer was all the pep talk she needed, opening the huge gray door and stepping into the gym for the first time.
She looked around at everything inside: the big rocky battlefield, the dim lighting, and the kids who were always sitting inside of the gym, hoping to learn a thing or two from watching it's leader. They smirked at her, thinking this would be fun to watch; she didn't notice though, because she was already busy trying to concoct ways to use the boulders and stones of the battlefield to her own advantage, after assuming that the gym leader had a strategy that had led him to many victories already.
"If it's a challenge you've come looking for, step forth now, lil lady," Sammie heard a tan boy from across the gym call for her. She saw the spot he was talking about - a white outline of a Pokeball on the ground. She stepped in the center of it. "I'm Brock! I'm Pewter's Gym Leader! I believe in rock hard defense and determination! That's why my Pokémon are all the Rock-type! Do you still want to challenge me?"
Sammie took a gulp before blurting out, "I am Samantha of Pallet Town, and yes I still want to challenge you!"
"Fine then! Show me your best!" Brock wound back and tossed out his first Pokeball, "Go, Geodude!" As the rock head Pokemon appeared on the battlefield, Sammie thought it smart to read up on him.
"This is going to be harder than I thought," Sammie whispered to herself, knowing she couldn't let Brock know just how unsure she was feelings. Squirt began to run out onto the field, but Sammie stopped her. "No ma'am. I want you well rested for whatever else he has up his sleeves. Rattata, let's do this!" She would throw out her purple mouse Pokemon, and the battle was officially underway.

Geodude, the Rock Pokémon. Geodude has incredibly high defensive power, making it virtually resistant to any physical attacks.
