Before going to the gym the citizens of Appleloosa gave Querxov a bunch of rewards! he was given a Wonder Launcher! Then a man gave him a villa. Now he can move out of his parents' house! Then a farmer gave him some flat lands so he could make his own berries!
finally, he was given a Vs. recorder. So after the rewards, him and his 3 friends entered the Gym and the other 7 Gym leaders were there on the peanut gallery to watch the battle and Pinkie made snacks for everyone.

"Well howdy hero! Ready to do this?"

"You bet your Stetson I am! This is where I'll get my 8th badge, also what are you girls doing here?"

"Oh, we're here to watch! look, we also brought your girlfriend to watch you battle!" Then Pinkie pulled Querxov's girlfriend out of nowhere.

"Enough talking, let's get this show on the road!"

*You are challenged by Gym Leader Applejack! Applejack sent out Krookodile!*

"Go Jenny the Serperior! Use Leaf Blade!'

*The foe's Krookodile used Attract! Jenny became infatuated with love!*

"Jenny return! Your on Ace the Floatzel! use Aqua Jet!"

*It's super effective!*

"Now do it again!"

"We're not going down that easily! krookodile, use Grass Knot!"

*It's super effective!*

"We wont let that stop, us we can also attack from a distance, now Ace, use Blizzard!'

*It's super effective! The foe's Krookodile fainted! Applejack sent out Gliscor!*

"Ace, return! Go Blastoise!"

*Blastoise's Blastoisinite is reacting to the Mega Bracelet! Blastoise mega evolved into Mega Blastoise! The foe's Gliscor use Guillotine! it missed!*

"Gliscor is right next to you, use Hydro Pump!"

*It's super effective! The foe's Gliscor fainted!*

Then the whole room went dark & when the lights came back on, Applejack was wearing a ridiculously large hat!

"Bwahahahaha, what is that ridiculous thing, ahahahahah!"

Blastoise joined in on the laughter as well.

"*sigh!*"

*Applejack sent out Hippowdon!*

"Blastoise return, go Jenny, you're up again!"

"You can do it! Applejack!" Said the Gym leaders and Querxov's girlfriend!

"What? Why aren't you rooting for me babe?"

"Sorry, Applejack is my favorite Gym leader."

"Don't worry Querxov, we'll root for yah, you're best friends will always side with you!"

"Aw, thanks guys, you're the best!"

"You can do it Querxov!"

"Alright, Jenny! Go for it, let's bag our final win with one final Leaf Blade!"

Like that, jenny slithered as fast as a bowling ball rolling down a lane!

"Hippowdon, Hyper Beam!"

"Avoid it!"

Jenny dodged the devastating attack, then slashed!

"It's super effective! A critical hit! Oh yeah and Hippowdon is down!"

*Hey, that's my line!*

"Hey little bro, have you seen my Hockey stick?"

"Damn it Thunderlane, I told you never come in here when I'm working!"

"Alright, geez!"

"Great, now everyone now knows that it was me Rumble who has been narrating this whole time!"

"Wait, Rumble? You're the narrator?" Said Scootaloo in surprise.

"Hey honey! I gotta get back to work now bye!"

"See yah at home!"

Then they blew a kiss to each other Goodbye!

*You defeated Gym Leader Applejack!*

"Well all be, you won! Well come-on over so you can get you're rewards!"

He got the badge, bits and TM! then his friends and girlfriend all ran to him, to pick him up and throw him into the air!

"Hooray for Querxov!"

"Hmph, now I have all 8 badges to go to the Pokemon League at Canterlot Castle!"

"Congratulations kid!" Said Pinkie Pie.

"Now Pinkie, this boy, has really grown up during his journey, we should be addressing him as an adult, as a man, now how does that sound to you? Man?"

"It's perfect, now the Gym Leaders acknowledge me as a grown-up!"

"Querxov, shouldn't you be catching the train by now?" Asked Fluttershy.

He looked down to his Poketch!

"Oh my goodness, you're right, see you everybody, I gotta run!" Then he dashed off.

Everyone waved goodbye as the hero runs to the train heading for Canterlot!

"(Buddy, once you get there, you better have you're best team ready for my best team!)" Kragakai said in his head.
