Hmmm..... It seems that Smeargle have only known Giga Impact and Hyper Beam.
Guess it only have learned Sketch twice, and used that to learn those two pinnacle moves of the Normal Type.
My Pidgey have evaded all of its powerful attacks and win the battle with perfect HP.
Lorman returned his fainted Smeargle back to the pokeball and congratulated me for winning.
"Ha ha ha ha ha that is a pretty good battle! Congratulations for your winning! I have learned some flaw for my own team now. Hm hm hm, maybe the next time my Smeargle learned Sketch I will ask him to sketch Swift so he can have a never miss move on his disposal." Said Lorman while he is patting my back.
I want to advised him to let that Smeargle sketch some other Never Missing Move like the Flying type Aerial Ace or Fairy type Disarming Voice, the latter one has even already been learned by his Audino.
My reason is that since if your Pokémon only know Normal type moves, then it is as good as dead when it faced Ghost type that have learned other type moves.
But then I decided to keep my mouth shut.
Who am I to meddle on his Pokémon's moveset?
Who knows maybe he already set his mind to let his Smeargle learn ALL STAB moves while his other Pokémons already learned other type moves in their moveset?
Even I back then when playing Pokémon let my Smeargle learn Hyper Beam and Metronome (yeah, you can sketch Metronome now if you can make the opposing pokémon which used it failed to execute that move), while its two other Sketch are kept for when I found another interesting move(s).
I forgot what the Smeargle sketched as the third move, I think it is Aerial Ace to gives super effective damage against Fighting type and also to deal with Ghosts.
But I still remember that the Smeargle still keep its last Sketch until the very end.
I just used that Smeargle of mine for fun anyway, letting it spew random moves using Metronome and see what happens before its PP is up and then I switched to Hyper Beam.
Okay, let's get back to the story.
After I win against Lorman, he just laughed it off and give me a Muscle Band in place of a Gym Badge and a TM Disc for Metronome.
...
And here I am just remembering about using Metronome for fun earlier.
I thanked Lorman for his "Gifts" and then make my way out from the cave under the stare of everyone there.
But before that, of course we make a promise for a rematch should we met again in the future like what any other proper shounen characters would do.
Looking at the hour, it is only half an hour left before our Tag Team Tournament in the Duel Dome.
Running quickly to the Pokémon Center, I get all of my Pokémon getting their second check up and healing for the day.
I also take my time to switch Phinia's Quick Claw with the Muscle Band, the Pidgey worn it on her head with pride.
As for the Quick Claw, of course I gifted it to Kasumi to get her even more prepared for our upcoming Tag Duels.
...
We arrived at Duel Dome just around 10 minutes before the Tournament will be held.
Showing our Trainer Cards to the receptionist to confirm our participation in the Tag Team Tournament, both me and Kotonoha is escorted to the Battle Venue.
Looking at the Tournament Bracket that is shown on a Big Screen on the spectator area, I see that we will need to win 5 times in a row to become a winner of this Tournament.
I held my hand with Kotonoha to calm down her nervousness.
Oh, I am actually nervous too as this is the first time we are participating in a tournament together, but as a man, isn't it our duty to secure and comfort our girls?
I may be a cool beauty trap on the outside, but I am still a gentleman in the inside, okay? 😉
Kotonoha is surprised at first when I intimately held her tender hand.
And she blushed even more when I squirmed my fingers that is entangled with hers and playfully give her some massage here and there.
Kotonoha's nervousness immediately blown out of the window, her mind is now occupied with how good Jovanna played with her fingers is.
After three rounds of double battle, my name and Kotonoha's is finally called upon by the loudspeaker to announce our round of double battle.
We both go together to the Battle Platform with at least double the size of a soccer field.
My right hand never let go of Kotonoha's left hand along the way, while the audience who sees our intimate contacts with each other let out various reaction.
Some are cheering, some are jeering from jealousy, and I can hear some who are swooning over us.
"Next we have a literal couple of Trainers Jovanna and Kotonoha against the sister duo Karen and Karin!" The announcer speaks with high spirit to ignite the passion among both the participants and the spectators.

[ ] Author's Note [ ]
You know what? At first my plan for the Unofficial Normal Type Gym is to make the self proclaimed Gym Leader to have a Slakoth, Vigoroth and Slaking as his Normal type Pokémon when I first make the draft one month ago.
But then when I write the story about it I get a sudden inspiration when a friend of mine asked me to write a drama genre story.
Then I thought, why don't I make this self proclaimed Gym Leader become a drama queen...., ahem ahem, I mean, a drama king type of a person?
And to make it even more complete, I then reworked the draft and gives him three pure Normal type Pokémons with "Artists" Theme.
😅😆🤣
