Gym Leader 5.

It was a cold northern day where the air was cold and the sun was warm. There were a few white fluffy clouds in the sky staring down at Lauren, Ellen, Lindsay, Courtney, and Sean as they were walking down a path through the woods heading for Pallet Town.

"Hey Lauren, Ready to become a gym leader?" Said Courtney.

"Yea, I'm going to be just like Misty! Yoi," Replied Lauren. This group of 5 was heading toward Pallet because of a special occasion. For today only the Elite 4 will be selecting people to head the new gym in a small city known as Runo, which was named after Bruno of the Elite 4. As they arrived in Pallet they saw hundreds upon thousands of people all swarming a tent. They guessed that is where they were supposed to sign up. As they started walking Ellen almost stepped on Froinlaven the snail, as an apology she gave it a moist towelette, then they continued on their way. Arriving at the swarm of people they noticed Ash's house and Ash staring out the window thinking he would never want to become a gym leader, for he wants to win in the Pokemon league. (Ash, Misty and Tracy have 3 badges and can't seem to find the 4th gym of the orange league. They decided to come to ash's house and stay there for a bit to rest, then go out and search.) Sean, Courtney, Lauren, Lindsay and Ellen all waved and instantly ash moved away from the window and out of sight.

2 hours later they got up to the table of registration to see the Elite four. "Hi, what is your name?" Said Lance

"What do you mean MY name," said Lindsay we are all together.

"Ha, you can't all be together it is against the rules!" Said Lorelli

"Believe me, once you see what we can do, you will quickly change the rules!" Said Sean angrily.

"Okay, fine, what are your names?" Said Agatha.

"I'm Courtney, There's Ellen, Lindsay, Lauren and Sean." Said Courtney Pointing to everyone.

"5 of you? Well you have a perfect number, because with that we are filled to capacity with 8,000 People trying out." Said Bruno. Lindsay, Sean, Ellen, Courtney, and Lauren went and found 5 seats on the grandstands with the other 7,995 people. The Elite four came onto the stage and as they entered there were confetti, fireworks, and balloons flying everywhere. Everyone cheered happily and then quieted down quickly as Lorelli started to speak.

"Hello, and welcome to the first annual gym leader tryouts." (Applause) "You will be put through a series of tests, which as you see on the agenda are; a trivia test, Pokemon show points, a battle, and quick draw attack. We start out with 8000 people; we then get rid of 4000 in the first round leaving us with 4000. Then in the show points we eliminate 3000 leaving us with 1000. Then in the battle round we eliminate another 500 leaving us with 500, then in the quick draw attacks we eliminate 250 leaving us with 250 people. The overall points will then be tallied and the person… oh yea, the PEOPLE with the most shall be our new gym leader." (Applause) "The people that are eliminated are the people that have the lowest score in that round, the rest move on. Lets begin the Test." There were 500 questions all about Pokemon, hard ones such as what is Digletts height, and how many rocks make up Onix's body. At the end, tired and exhausted from spilling their brains Agatha started to speak.

"The way this works is if your computer screen displays Sorry, your score of ____ didn't make eligible for the next round. You must pick up your things and quietly leave the stadium. However if your screen says your score of ____ has let you become eligible for the next round. You will be going on to the next round!" (Applause) Everyone's stomach had knots in it as the computer screen went black, and then slowly had a picture focusing on the screen. Finally it was focused and there was a mixture of hooray's and aw's. People started standing up and walking away. But we don't need to talk about those people because Courtney, Sean, Lindsay, Lauren, and Ellen made it to the next round! Once everyone left that was supposed to Lance Stared Speaking.

"If you will all follow me we can get on to the next round." So everyone stood up and followed the Elite four to a grassy area.

"This round is the Pokemon show round." Said Bruno, "Take out all your Pokemon. For every Pokemon you have you automatically get 2 points. Depending on the quality and level of the Pokemon you will get more points. So take out your Pokemon." As he said this everyone took out there Pokemon. The Elite four slowly made way across the field checking the Pokemon.

They finally arrived at Ellen, Lauren, Lindsay, Sean, and Courtney. "So where's your Pokemon" asked Lorelli She then started staring and the tattoos all five were wearing. "151 Pokemon tattoos don't count." She said in an angry voice. Courtney Smiled and then started hovering above the ground as her Clefairy tattoo started glowing just like her eyes. Then she transformed into a Clefairy. After about 5 seconds she changed back and the Elite 4 stood stunned. Then Lindsay Started hovering and her Jigglypuff tattoo started to glow. Her eyes started turning bright pink and quickly she transformed into a Jigglypuff. She grabbed a microphone from Ellen and started singing, in a matter of seconds everyone was asleep and Lindsay changed into her normal self.

"That'll teach 'em." Said Lauren. (Jigglypuff's singing doesn't harm Lauren, Courtney, Sean, Lindsay, and Ellen)

Everyone awoke in about 1 hour. Remembering what Courtney, and Lindsay had done. Since they could change into 151 Pokemon they gave each a perfect score of 1000 points! Once everyone was done the ground started to shake and Bruno said, "Here are your scores." T.V. monitors came up from the ground and displayed a black image. Then just like before an image telling you if you made it to the next round or not came on. With over 7000 eliminated Lindsay, Lauren, Sean, Ellen, and Courtney were moving on even farther with only 995 people.

"All right, the rest of you please follow me." Said Lorelli. She eventually led them to a battle arena. "If you loose in a battle, you're gone. Depending on how well you do you get a different amount of points. You will use 6 Pokemon each." 1 by 1 people dropped out until it came to Courtney, Sean, Lindsay, Lauren, and Ellen.

"Lauren, you do the honor's!" Said Ellen. Lauren Hovered and her eyes turned an Icy blue, air around her turned cold and she transformed into a Lapras. 1 bye one she knocked down the opponent's Pokemon by using an ice beam attack. After she knocked down the sixth Pokemon it was official, they won. 500 were left now and only 1 event to go, quick draw. Lance led them to a spot with a thin powdery box and a circle in the middle.

"This is like a show down." Said Lance "You will each have a Pokeball in your hand, and you will stand back to back with your opponent in the circle. Unlike, however, a showdown when I blow the whistle you will run to the small box at the end, once both of your feet are in, turn and throw out your Pokemon and have it get back to center circle first. The looser is out of the competition. Depending on the time you get the points you receive will be different. Trainers went to the circle, and one bye one they got eliminated, and one bye one they got more points. It was Ellen, Lauren, Lindsay, Sean, and Courtney's turn. Ellen stepped into the circle and instantly her eyes started to glow fiery red, she hovered above the ground and as soon as the whistle blew she flew over to the box in the far corner. She instantly transformed into a Rapidash and galloped back to the center circle. When she was fully in the circle she transformed herself back to "Ellen". They had won

Everyone was finished the test and the 250 remaining trainers were brought the stands in which they were in the first competition. They sat down in the same seats they started out on. There were no computers this time, but there were lights attached to the chair behind them, there was a green light and a red light. In front of them there was a green button. Confused Ellen, Lauren, Lindsay, Sean, and Courtney looked up to see the elite four enter the stage like they did at the beginning of the day. Bruno then started to speak. "As you can see behind you are two lights, one green and one red. The green will light up for only one person, and that is the winner. The red will light up for most of you, which means you lost and good riddance. When you want to see if you won, hit the green button… remember, this is the moment of truth, so hit it only when you are ready."
At first the people were silent and then one by one people hit the button and the red light lit up. Gaining the courage Lindsay reached across Sean and hit the button and sadly it lit red. Then suddenly changed to green and started laughing and said you are the new gym leader. Happily they jumped up and down on the bleachers, which they were on. They ran down and then were directed by the Elite four to the helicopter that was waiting for them. "We have never seen people like you before," said Agatha Once everyone was in the helicopter and they took off. "You have got a special power, and we want you to use it to your full potential"

"Actually I bet you just didn't want us to beat you in the Pokemon league!" said Courtney smiling

"Well, no, actual… SHUT UP!" shouted Lance interrupting himself. The helicopter landed and everyone got out.

"This is your new gym," said Lorelli. "You are the fourth gym of the Orange league, and since trainers need four badges to make it into this Pokemon league, don't make it impossible on them please."

"We won't." Said Ellen. They walked inside to explore as the Elite four flew away in their helicopter. It was a nice sized gym with a balcony on the far side for them to sit. There was a small trainers box on their opposite side. To the right and left as soon as you entered the gym were stairs that lead to the stands for spectators. However the spectator spot and the balcony for them were not joined. There were no stairs leading to the balcony that they could see. Under the balcony there was a door, they entered to see a large room with 5 large KING sized beds, it had a nice kitchen coming off of it with all the cupboards full of food. There was another door that lead to the bathroom it had a toilet with auto flush, it had a hot tub, a bath, a large shower, a sink, a mirror, and powdered soap.

"You get that stuff up my nose again I will hurt you badly Courtney!" Said Sean jokingly. Another door led to a large backyard (really inside though, but sunny with all the windows) It had a pool, a basked ball court, a Nintendo system with a big screen T.V, a Gameboy. It had a V.C.R. and a D.V.D player. It had a couple of couches for lounging and a large C.D. player boom box. It had a desk with a Gateway computer and a Pentium 3 processor. It also had weird Al and his band. For 8 hours weird Al was requested to play Albuquerque. In the far corner they noticed a staircase. Ellen, Lauren, Lindsay, Sean, and Courtney walked up the staircase to see what was there, because they were getting sick of Albuquerque after the 26th time. At the top of the stairs there was a balcony looking over the yard, and a door, they opened the door to see it lead to the balcony overlooking the gym. There were 5 chairs for each of them. They went back through the door and Lauren noticed something on the wall, she looked at it and it was a green light, it had a piece of paper that said when there is a trainer here this will light up and ring to let you know to get to the balcony. As soon as Lauren red this it rang. Little did they know, while they were listening to Albuquerque Ash, Misty, and Tracy were on their way over for a battle. The five trainers went through the doors to the balcony to see Ash and his 2 friends.

"Go up to the spectator balcony, Tracy and Misty… Ash you go on that trainer platform." Said Courtney intensely.

"But how did you know our names?" Said Ash shocked

"We know a lot that you don't ASH." Said Ellen Smiling

"Like who Froinlaven is." Chuckled Lauren

"Oh Tom the toad oh tom the toad, why did you jump into the." Sean started singing his favorite song that he learned from Sarah.

"SHUT UP!" shouted Lindsay

"Are you actually gym leaders because you kind of remind me of something… let me think? PSYCHO'S!" Shouted Tracy from the balcony beside Misty.

"Shut your fat ugly mouth boy." Said Lauren

"Let's just battle," Said Ash

"Pika Pi" Said his Pikachu with his ears twitching.

"The Rules are," Said Ellen "5 Pokemon each"

"5? Why not six?" Said misty from beside Tracy

"Because we said so!" Said Ellen, Lauren, Lindsay, Sean, and Courtney together.

"And as I was saying" Continued Ellen "If you draw you Pokemon back that Pokemon will be counted as unable to battle. Choose your Pokemon.

"Before I start," Said Ash "How do I win the badge… I want to get in the Pokemon league!"

"There are 5 of us. That is all" Said Courtney

"But… uh… Never mind. Bulbasaur I choose you!" Shouted Ash he pulled a Pokeball off his belt and threw it into the air. A red light came out and Bulbasaur formed on the ground where the red light was shining. A small green Bulbasaur, in slightly good shape, was standing proud staring at the balcony. The Pokeball clasped together and returned to Ash's hand. He pushed the button on the front to shrink it. He then placed it on his belt. "So where is your Pokemon?" Asked Ash waiting for the battle

"Oh, almost forgot" Said Sean as a Machamp Tattoo on his right foot started to glow and he raised 4 feet off the balcony. His eyes started glowing a Pitch Blue. He moved himself to the gym floor and changed into a Machamp. The Machamp's muscles resembled those of Sean's (J/K) He knocked down Bulbasaur in one hit, with his mega punch. He did the same to Pikachu, Pidgeott, and squirtle.

"Go Grimer." Said Ash. Sean Tried to do a mega punch but Unfortunately he bounced off him and flew backward into the wall. Fainted Sean changed back into his original form still lying there unconscious though. Courtney Rushed down to pick Sean up and put him in his bead.

"Feel the wrath of the diva!" Shouted Lindsay as she transformed into Jigglypuff and plunked down on the gym floor. Her cheeks puffed up big and she started beating the snot out of Grimer. Grimer fainted and Lindsay changed back into herself and said, "Don't mess with the Diva!" Lifting her hand Lauren used her powers and psychically threw Ash out of the gym. Misty and Tracy ran to see if he was all right, and that was that.

While everyone was asleep in the bedroom the trainer light rang and all 5 of them woke up. They ran to the backyard, up the stairs, and into the gym. It was Ash.

Misty came up behind him with Tracy and said, "You told us there were five of you. We thought you were talking about gyms, but you were actually talking about yourselves I know that because you were pointing to yourselves which I didn't see 'till later. There are only 4 gyms and you're the fourth one! Give us a rematch 'cause we need that badge!"

"Congratulations you won the badge" Said Courtney.

"Huh?" said Tracy

"You battled and impossible battle, and you figured our riddle. That is what you need to have done to get the badge. You wanted to win so bad you came back again. Good job." Said Ellen. A badge fluttered down from the sky, it was in the shape of the number 5 and at the bottom it said Jigglypuff Rocks.

As Ash was leaving the gym he said, "I hate Jigglypuff!" under his breath

Hearing this Lindsay shouted, "What did you say?" She jumped down from the balcony and landing with a thud. She ran toward Ash and punched him right in the nose and broke it.

Ash went to another Orange Island for a picnic celebration and waited for his nose to heal, while Sean, Lindsay, Ellen, Courtney, and Lauren Listened to Albuquerque for the 27th time.
