BF006

Enter Cheren: The Genius Gym Leader! is the 6th chapter of the Pokemon: Battle Fury series.

Plot
After returning to Aspertia City to challenge the Gym Leader, Nate and his friends stay at the Pokemon Center. Just as Nate was about to complete his Pokemon's health, he runs into a trainer named Cheren who was tending to his Herdier.

Rosa recognizes him as the Aspertia Gym Leader, which surprises Nate. Benga also claims that meeting Gym Leaders is a special occasion. Nate then rushes up to Cheren and asks for a Gym challenge, but the trainer tells him maybe later because he needs to finish grooming his Herdier before then.

He then happily invites them to his Gym.

They head toward the school which confuses the group. Nate asks where the Gym is and Cheren unlocks the door, opening to an outside clearing. There, Cheren shows them the battlefield, which makes Benga realize that the school is the Gym.

Nate asks why they are here, and Cheren explains that he knew his friend Hugh because he was defeated by him and recieved the Basic Badge.

Suddenly in a flashback, Hugh was revealed to have caught a Tranquill and uses it to weaken his Herdier as a Lillipup, and then sends out Oshawott to defeat Lillipup with Razor Shell, earning the Basic Badge. Nate nods as he understands the meaning of what to do.

He then smiles happily as he faces Cheren, for his first Gym battle...
