This man does. Known to most as Gibraltar, he works behind the scenes of the Pokémon League operation, carrying out missions and making sure everything goes as planned. He may be recognized by regular trainers as just a face in the crowd, but nonetheless he will be there. -- The sun shone over the clear blue sky of Indigo Plateau. Near the center was the world renowned Pokémon League Stadium, holding thousands of cheering fans watching a current battle. "Damn I need shades." Gibraltar had his black coat on, and stood in the entryway of the stadium, hands in pockets. His eyes were half-closed due to the rays of sun pouring down upon him. Around him were various fans and trainers, carrying mundane signs depicting such slogans like "JIGGLyPuFF4LiFe!!!!". He sighed. -- "What a great match, folks!" the announcer blared over the loudspeakers. "The green trainer has been slaughtered out here on the Ice Field!" The crowd went wild, cheering and screaming their hearts out. However, the green trainer was looking more than pissed off. His eyes were blazing in anger, and he pulled out a Pokéball wildly intothe air. "Grrr... he cheated!!! I DEMAND A REMATCH!!!" he yelled. The announcer had played Bawitdaba just minutes before for the victor (^_-) over the loudspeakers. "CHARIZARD, GOOOOO!" -- "Crap." Gibraltar set off on a run, pushing through the crowd in the entryway, keeping his eye on the green trainer and his Charizard. He made his way onto the Ice Field (sliding most of the way), and stood below the trainer box. Out he pulled a silver Pokéball with the gold "PL" symbols embossed on it. "There's one in every tournament," he muttered. -- "...Err.. folks, nothing to see here! Battle's over! Time to go! Kehehe.." the announcer nervously said over the loudspeakers, PL agents in the booth. The flagman got the hell out of the arena. -- In a flash of light, the Charizard was released. "C'MON CHARIZARD, BURN THAT KID TO A CRISP!!!" the green trainer yelled with a wild look in his eyes. The red behemoth flew right towards the young red trainer, who was stuck in place; staring right ahead, mouth gaping open. "GO, RAMPAGE!" The green trainer looked down, and saw Gibraltar's Pokéball fly right out in front of the red trainer. Out emerged an angry Tauros, much larger than most. Larger than the size of a present-day bull. His nostrils snorted, heating up the ice before him. "Bawitdaba" played on as he leaped, hooves springing off the Ice Field towards the belly of the Charizard. Gibraltar breathed onto his palms, freezing. -- The crowd stared in awe, not sure what the hell was going on. "Rampage? Wha...?" "Is this part of the match?" "Who the hell uses a Tauros!?" -- Tauros flew into the air head first, right into the Charizard's belly with a Body Slam attack. Charizard got knocked back, back first and wings extended, right into the green trainer booth supports. Rampage landed, cracking the ice beneath him. "CHARIZARD!!! GIVE HIM A FLAMETHROWER ATTACKKK!" "GRRROARR!!" Gibraltar grinned. Rampage looked back at his trainer, and did the same. Rampage ran right toward the downed Charizard, hooves cracking the ice whenever they struck it. Charizard smugly looked at the Tauros, and then fire erupted from his mouth in a blast. -- "Show him how it's done," Gibraltar said to himself. As if the Tauros could hear him, he snorted hot air, and released a devastating Hyper Beam from its mouth right at the dragon-like beast. The Hyper Beam, a yellow-white attack, was immense. The beam hit straight-on with the Flamethrower, not hesitating to vaporize it, then moving on to the Charizard, knocking it straight through one of the support beams. The flame on its tail was like a candle in the wind, struggling to stay alive. -- The crowd applauded, slowly at first, then gave a standing ovation. Gibraltar had Rampage keep an eye on the Charizard, while he himself 'cuffed the green trainer and escorted him to other league officials. And just as soon was gone, while the crowd looked everywhere for the mysterious trainer. -- LATER... Gibraltar walks briskly through the halls of the Elite Four. He walked down a dimly lit hallway, the same place where trainers travel through to meet Lance for their final challenge. Surprisingly, Gibralatar took a turn to the left, and opened an oak door. He thinks to himself. "I _better_ get a raise for this." -===---===--===---===--===---===- TBC?
