"Say, Robert, while >we're waiting for Rilli to finish whatever she's doing, how about a >Pokémon battle? We'll see if you're good enough to become a Pokémon gym >Leader!" "Uhh, sure, I accept!" Robert says dubiously, since he isn't even sure which Pokemon reside inside the Pokeballs on his belt. The only one of the six Pokeballs that is different is the yellow one that houses Raichu, but Robert's not sure that Raichu will want to obey him after all the time that he's neglected her. He's sure that he hasn't switched his Pokemon since Gengar and Haunter's wedding, but he doesn't recall which Pokemon were in which Pokeballs for the Wedding since they were all let out, "Let's make this a three on three match. As for a time limit... well, let's keep battling until Rilli answers the door!" "No time limit, gotcha." John replies, throwing the Pokeball he had pulled out. A Hitmonlee appears, throwing phantom kicks. Robert snaps his fingers, "Hey, my Hitmonchan would be great for this battle! She throws kicks just like those... no wait, her kicks are better! No offense, you weird headless creature that has eyes for pectorals." With Jackie the Hitmonlee already fuming, wanting to kick Robert instead of the Hitmonchan that the teen is talking about, Robert reaches for the sixth Pokeball on his belt and throws it on the floor. A beam of red light shoots out and settles on the form of a voluptuous female Golduck! The shapely blue duck rubs her red eyes with her webbed hands, then waves a friendly greeting at Jackie. John chuckles at Robert's poor selection, "That's the weirdest looking Hitmonchan I've ever seen. Jackie, Double Kick!" Jackie hops up into the air and swings one of his long legs at the clueless Golduck who doesn't know that she's participating in a Pokemon battle. When Jackie's foot lands on Golduck's gray beak, it knocks her onto the floor! Since she's below Jackie's kicking level and because Jackie wants revenge on the person who insulted his kicks, the second kick in Jackie's Double Kick sequence hits Robert on his oversized chin, sending him crashing onto the ground. Robert lands next to his Water Pokemon. Robert's Gengar and Rilli's Haunter both laugh at Robert's misfortune! Jackie bows to the two opponents he floored. Robert sits up, rubbing his head, "Ouch. I currently forget if the Pokemon League Rule Book has any rules against Pokemon attacking the opponent's trainer. Maybe I'll remember after the severe migraine Jackie's kick caused goes away." He stands up, grabs Golduck under her arms, careful not to touch any human-like bulges on the Golduck's anatomy, and lifts her off the ground. Golduck dizzily stumbles around until she plants her two webbed feet on the ground, "Golduck... duck..." Robert points at Jackie, remembering that Fighting Pokemon are weak against Psychic attacks, "Golduck, Confusion!" Golduck can't hear Robert over the ringing in her head that was caused by Jackie's Double Kick. She places her webbed hands on the sides of her head and rubs her temples, in an attempt to alleviate her headache. When that doesn't help, she becomes increasingly frustrated, until all the building tension and anger is released in a furious psychic rage! The Confusion waves that shoot out of the ruby on her forehead are so intense that they knock John's Hitmonlee off his feet! Residue from the intense blast of Psychic energy affects John. He grabs his own ears, which feel like they are about to burst, and calls out to his fallen Hitmonlee, "Get up, Jackie!" The Hitmonlee struggles while he tries to get up, but due to the Confused state that he's in, he just ends up kicking himself. John sighs, "If you can't get up, just perform a Rolling Kick on the ground!" Jackie hears this over the Confusion and manages to snap out of his trance. He grabs his legs with his hands and rolls towards where Golduck is standing. He picks up momentum as he rolls, and when he reaches the Golduck's feet, both of his legs shoot up at the same time! The Rolling Kick lands on the blue duck's belly, causing her to fall down and roll. Golduck's rolling is much clumsier than Jackie's since hers is not intentional, and when she finally comes to a stop, she has fainted. Jackie kicks off the ground and lands on his feet. The Hitmonlee brushes dirt off his arms, then poses in a victorious stance. Robert mutters under his breath as he recalls Golduck into her Pokeball, "You're just lucky that that wasn't Hitmonchan... she would've kicked the living..." He puts on a happy face when John notices the murmuring, "Okay! Let me select my next Pokemon!" He glances over at Gengar and snaps his fingers, "Hey, Gengar would surely win..." Gengar shakes his head and points at the baby Gastly floating next to Haunter, "Gengar, gen gengar, Gengar!" Robert rubs his chin, "Hmm, yes, he has a point. It would be too embarrassing for Gastly to see his dad get beat up. Though I doubt he would lose, I'm not taking any chances. I'll call my only Psychic Pokemon out! Go, Slowbro!" Robert points at Jackie so Slowbro knows who to attack. John glances over to the side, where Robert's Slowbro is still lamenting the pain on his foot, even though the prankster Cubone hit him there quite a while ago. Robert keeps pointing at Jackie and John keeps staring at Slowbro, who doesn't respond. After about a minute, Slowbro stands up and starts his sluggish journey towards Jackie the Hitmonlee, his Shellder dragging behind. Robert figures that it would be a good idea to tell Slowbro to attack now even though Slowbro hasn't reached Jackie yet. That way Slowbro will attack Jackie sometime in the near future, hopefully before getting kicked repeatedly, "Slowbro, Confusion!" -Robert ((NS: Robert can choose Golem or Vileplume as his third Pokemon.
