Ah... Ah... ACHOO!

This is absolutely infuriating. Why the heck do I have to suffer from these crummy allergies every time this season comes along? I happen to get this job in Nimbasa City as one of the Ferris wheel employees and of course, it's right as Spring begins. I hate this particular season because it's the time when my allergies would go crazy. As for this job, I just supervise and battle anybody who approaches me. It's a simple job for someone as vicious as myself. Honestly, this job is so boring but I needed the money. My dad at home was going through some troubles with money at home.

Right now, I'm standing by the Ferris Wheel, supervising who's going in and out and then...

Ah... Ah... ACHOO!

Crud! At this rate, I'm going to return home with a cold! I looked down as I took out some tissues I carried along with me and blew all my snot in them. Gross? Deal with it, wimp. When I looked up, I made eye-contact with someone. It was a boy. He appeared to be looking at me with a curious look. One of my pet peeves is being stared at, especially when you look at me like some curious Lillipup. So, I called out to him.

"You there! You were just looking at me, right?!" I yelled out and pointed with my right index finger at him as I sniffed up my nose whatever snot that was dripping out.

He tilted his head to one side slightly like an idiot, as if I didn't know what I was talking about. "I beg your pardon? I didn't mean to disturb you."

Of course, I had no idea what he was talking about. All I know was that since this is my job and I loved to battle anyone who looks at me, I figured battling him and beating his Pokémon to a pulp would be a good distraction from these allergies for now.

"When eyes meet, it's a fight! You should know that since you're a Trainer, right?!" Strangely, I found myself hoping to be right.

What's even stranger was that this boy chuckled at me. What's so funny!?

"If it's a battle you'd like, I'd be happy to oblige. I'm actually planning to challenge to the Gym soon and I was looking for a practise partner. I was hoping you wouldn't mind being my opponent to help me measure my Pokémon's capabilities."

He was starting to sound like one of those stuck up rich people. Let me tell you, I hate rich people. They think they can just flaunt their money around in your faces whenever they please! As you can guess, his talk only fueled my drive to battle more.

"I hope you realised what you've just done."

"Pardon?" He asked me as if he didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't, considering this is my first time seeing him. Who knows? Maybe he was here before and this is our first time seeing each other.

I flashed a grin as I took out my Poké Ball. "You just picked a fight with me, Nimbasa's Feral Liepard!"

The boy looked left and right before shaking his head at me, putting his hands up in dumbfounded manner. "Uh, sorry. Never heard of you."

I gritted my teeth, very annoyed at him. Soon, just looking at him was annoying me more. Who does he think he is?! How dare he talks to me like that?!

"I hope you got some insurance! Are you ready?!" I shouted at him.

He only grinned at me. I assume that means he is ready. "Let us both do our best! I promise I'll not disappoint you!"

His reaction was rather different. He wasn't scared of me like most people who challenged me were. I had people who accepted but with rather scared look on their faces, which I like to see. I also had people who didn't even bother and silently bolt away from me like pathetic excuses for Trainers. But what's different about him was that he seemed eager to take the beating that I was about to inflict on him. Oh well. His loss.

"You've got guts, I'll give you that. You're gonna regret this as you go limping back to the Pokémon Centre!"

I then saw the boy frown at me like an idiot. "Please, let's try not to have unnecessary roughness with each other. I'd like to think of this as practise before the Gym."

He's really making me sick! He's really only taking a battle with me as practise!? ARGH! I'M GONNA BEAT HIM SO HARD, IT'LL MAKE HIS ANCESTORS WEEP!
