Minutes later, Kyle had left the gym and was heading with Torrasque, Cathode, and Thanatos all the way back to the Pokécenter, in the rain that was still pouring down. "I can't believe you sacrificed half your wallet to that green-haired freak just to save my pet," said a pained Torrasque, holding the reclaimed Cathode close to his body with the dull ends of his scythes so as not to let the Pikachu escape again. Torrasque smiled. "I think I'm beginning to see why Jessica likes you." "Don't think too highly of me," Kyle laughed. "What Shard didn't know is that I always keep the bulk of my cash in my jacket pocket, not my wallet." Kyle reached into the pocket of his denim jacket, and pulled out a plethora of twenties. "I didn't sacrifice much. I'm still in the black." There was a slight pause. "And I still think David is more skilled as a trainer. He only has three Pokémon, but I'm willing to bet that his three could outlast Shard's six." "Yeah," Torrasque snickered. "Shard's little Jigglypuffs had courage, I'll give them that. But they had more courage than sense." "Well, Shard deserves a little credit," remarked Kyle. "That Hitmonlee of his was a real piece of work, wouldn't you say?" Thanatos spat contemptuously upon hearing Kyle say that. Thanatos knew that no Hitmonlee could ever defeat him. "His kung fu was good, but he lacked discipline," Torrasque chuckled, in a voice like a stereotypical Sensei. "Jessica's Magmar is still the only Pokémon I'd consider fearing. He came a lot closer to killing me." There was a long silence before Kyle piped up, "I'm just curious about one thing, Torrasque. Where did you get that translator that's hanging around your neck, and why do you even need it?" "Eh, I just took it after Leviathan got knocked down to keep it safe," Torrasque answered. "It's an expensive bit of machinery, this translator." "I'm sure when Levi lapses back into consciousness, he'll thank you for taking care of it," Kyle said, rather sarcastically. Leviathan had not been terribly affable of late. "In any case, we lost the battle, but our losses were pretty minimal in the grand scheme of things," Torrasque asserted. He then looked down at Cathode with a bright smile on his saurian face. "Isn't that right, you little runaway you?" Torrasque gently scratched Cathode's chin, and the tiny Pikachu purred like a kitten. Kyle merely stared off into space and sighed, "Still, it was a crappy experience overall. I want the rest of this day to be perfect. No more fighting. No more lost pets. And more time for me to get to know Jessica. I mean, this is the first time I've ever had a girl like me." There was a brief pause. "The fact she's incredibly hot in addition to being kind and intelligent is a nice plus." "Just out of curiosity, would you still be attracted to her even if... oh, let's say...you found out that she transforms into a Pokémon every once in a while?" Torrasque asked. "That's pretty abstract, but yes, if it was only once in a while, I guess I'd still be attracted to her," Kyle replied, raising one eyebrow and wondering why Torrasque had brought up such an odd inquiry. Torrasque grinned slightly. "Maybe the two of you will hit it off nicely after all..." The End... We gotta have a rematch some day, Goola. Torrasque shall be victorious!!! --K * A * R * N * I * V * A * X-- "Awesome! I'm poisonous! Those idiots who work at McDonald's won't forget to give me napkins and fancy ketchup ever again..." --Torrasque Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.
