I read the PW! FAQ again, and there wasn't a rule against it...] [More OOC: Also, I realize that this kinda conflicts with my first few stories, at least slightly. Um, just ignore that. It's not too big a deal...not like I totally rewrote history. O.o] The group left the gym and quickly healed their Pokémon. Natasha took out her Pokédex. "Okay, you...where's the next gym?" "The next gym is in Celadon City." "NO! Er, no. After that..." "I highly recommend that you complete all previous gyms before proceeding." Natasha sighed. [long, boring walk to Celadon removed] Natasha's house was on the way to the gym. Her mother jumped up as she entered. "I was so worried! You were gone for weeks, and--" "Mom, MOM! I'm fine, really! I got three more Pokémon, and four badges..." She displayed her badges to prove the point. Her mother paused. "You're missing one, aren't you? You should go over to your s--" "MOM! Okay, I'm going..." Natasha sighed a breath of relief as she got outside. Why did her home suddenly seem so...stuffy? Celadon gym was only a few blocks up. The rest of the party entered quickly, but Natasha held back for a moment. Erika just happened to be at the front when they entered. She looked strangely surprised, and somewhat...amused. "Well, Natasha...I didn't think you'd come. Nice seeing you again." "Okay, Erika...I'm here for a Rainbow badge." Erika laughed. "Sure, little--" "NO! Look, I just want to battle..." "What's the matter? What's wrong with admitting you're the gym leader's sister--" Natasha cringed. That was clear enough for anyone. "Erika, that was a long time ago. I only spent five years with your family, and you've never let me forget it..." "And those were an interesting five years, weren't they? Too bad you didn't wind up with a great Pokémon, like Gloom...in fact, you didn't get one, did you?" "WHATEVER. My real mother came back..." Something snapped inside Erika when she noticed Tenchi. "Looks like you picked up a boyfriend along the way. Really, Natasha, I thought you could do better than that..." "Shut UP, Erika! He's not my boyfriend! We're just traveling together..." Erika grinned rather strangely. "I bet he is your boyfriend..." "No, he's not. For Goddish's sake, let's just battle..." "If you're going to be weird about it, I'm just going to ask you to leave." "WHAT?! But..." "If you want to battle, prove to me that he's not your boyfriend..." Natasha's jaw dropped. --Natasha V. Aw, CRUD!!! Got to go, be back later! Continue if you want...
