" It's been about four days since I had any descent food." So she went to the local restaurant and fed herself and her Pokemon some pizza. Then she went to the Pokemon Center. When she got there she was shocked. The same nurse from viridian was here. "How.. What, Who?!" Mary said confused. The nurse knew exactly what she was trying to say "I know I look like my cousin in viridian." said the kind nurse. "Oh. Well can I ask what your name is?" asked the confused girl. "Sure. It's Joy, Nurse Joy." said Joy. "Can you heal these Pokemon?" asked Mary. "Sure said Nurse joy." She gave Mary a beeper that told her when her Pokemon where ready. So she went to check out the gym. She got there and Brock was in a battle with another trainer. The trainer sent out a Pikachu and Brock sent out a geodude. The Pikachu used thundershock but the geodude wasn't phased. Then the geodude used tackle (A fairly weak move) and made the Pikachu faint." NOOO." shouted the trainer. After the match her beeper went off and she went to get her Pokemon. She went to the gym and flung both of the doors open. "BROCK... IT'S MY TURN NOW!" said Mary.
