Subject: [PW!] It's My Battle And I'll Cry If I Want To... Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2002 04:57:12 GMT From: "Pipian" <pipian@pipian.com> Organization: Prodigy Internet http://www.prodigy.com Newsgroups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon Yuki glared at the young girl named Whitney. "Fine. You wanna battle for a Plain Badge? Let's see how well you DO then." "If your 'inferior pokémon' defeat my 'superior' normal-types, I'll buy you the most expensive chocolate shake in Goldenrod. Fat chance that'll happen!" "Feh. As if you'll win. Let's battle." "Don't mind if I do!" "GO CLEFAIRY!" "C'mon Luna. Let's go." In short order, a Clefairy and Umbreon appeared in the middle of the arena... Yolei, on the side, tried to recall what had started this battle of the wills in the first place... *** Yuki walked into the gym first followed by Yolei and Lynkeru. "Sorry, kid. I didn't mean to trip like that. I'm looking for the gym leader." "I'm the gym leader." "You look a bit young to me." "*I* am the gym leader." Yuki studied the girl and then called out, "IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO CAN TELL ME WHERE THE GYM LEADER IS?" The girl glared at Yuki. "I am WHITNEY. I am the GYM Leader. If you don't believe me, watch me beat your pathetic pokémon with my normal-types." "You call my pokémon PATHETIC?" "Sure I do. If ya didn't believe I was gym leader, ya don't have to believe that I just called them pathetic. It's not like you'll find anyone with one o' these here anyway." Whitney pulled out a Plain Badge from her pocket. Yuki grabbed at it and Whitney quickly put it back in her pocket. "Tsk. Tsk. I don't know if I should battle you... You look pretty weak to me..." Whitney poked Yuki's stomach for emphasis. Yuki growled... "NOONE CALLS ME WEAK!" *** Luna tackled the Clefairy and held it down as it struggled and finally fainted. "Chalk one up for me. Haha!" "You think that you have it made don't you? Go Miltank!" As the Clefairy was pulled back, the large cow pokémon appeared on the field. *** "I bet you don't have a fighting type. Do you? I thought not. No chance of beating me then..." "Who says that a fighting type is the only way? It's not just type advantages that make the battle. My strategy could whip you any day of the week." "What use is strategy when your psychic is being obliterated by a dark type?" Yuki chuckled, "I don't have any psychics. No reason." *** The Miltank ruthlessly bowled down the Umbreon, knocking her out of the arena. "Now who's laughing?" "It's not over until the Jynx does a Lovely Kiss! Go Mallow! Get ready to Thunder Wave!" *** "You seriously expect me to believe that normal-type pokémon can defeat all comers? HAH!" "I doubt you can do better. Besides, I don't see YOU handing out Gym badges..." Yolei walked into the battle area from the bleachers. "Girls, you aren't gonna get anywhere if you keep bickering like this! Just get on with the battle already. Jeez Yuki, you're just as immature as her!" "Immature!" the two shouted. "Just... Start the battle already..." The two pushed Yolei aside. "We are NOT immature!" "Yes, you are..." The girls glared at Yolei. "Whatever..." the latter said as she walked back to the bleachers to rest a while longer before they finally got around to battling. *** The Wigglytuff rammed the Miltank, and the Miltank rolled back... Over and over... When it finally stopped, it fainted... "Hah! See? I told you I could beat you! Now fork over my Plain Badge!" Whitney sniffed. "Oh, what now?" "WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" "What a sore loser..." TBC? -- Pipian - That's ONE way to avoid writing a battle, ne?
