Authors always thank reviewers for reviews but this is the first time I've written something and I got a review already and I feel so fuzzy aaah


11. disarray: confusion, disorder

Lorelei had always seemed the uptight, neat kind of woman. So when Green went to clean up the gym the morning after the induction ceremony, he was mortified by the state of disarray she had left her papers in. She definitely hated him. The worst thing was, he couldn't even toss them all in the incinerator because here or there he'd find important documents. She had not been exceptionally friendly with the locals either, as they all seemed to look at him warily when he announced his position as Viridian's new leader.

12. plethora: an abundance or excess of something

When Green deemed the office reasonably clean, he sidled out of his office to open the gym to challengers. He was stared down by a plethora of trainers waiting to battle.

13. exacerbate: to make more violent, bitter, or severe

Green had crushed the challengers in no more than two minutes each, just using Eevee. They presented so little challenge that he was split between feeling frustrated and sorry for the kids. His bad mood was only exacerbated by the fact that his trainers that were supposed to battle the challengers (and stop the freaking horde of them from reaching him) were nowhere in sight. He'd make sure to train them so hard they'd regret ever being absent. And so that he'd never have to battle those kids that cried when their pokemon got hit.

14. ephemeral: lasting for a short time; fleeting

After beating the last challenger, Green retreated to his office to sulk over his boredom. He looked through the papers he sorted, and found a log listing the dates Lorelei had actually been around the gym. He slammed his forehead on the table (a little too hard since it started to sting) when he realized that Lorelei had only stayed around to battle challengers four times in the past five years, and her presence had been so ephemeral that trainers looking to collect badges had given up on Viridian's badge. Which explained the horde of impatient kids who were looking for him after realizing that the new gym leader was actually there to do his job.

15. disposed: having a preference or tendency

Green was disposed to push annoying tasks onto others. So he dug out the phone numbers of the trainers that were supposed to be working under him, called them all and threatened to fire all of them if they didn't show up the next day. They all apologized profusely, saying they had all gotten new jobs nearby since Lorelei was never at the gym (so they never got paid).

16. beacon: a signaling light; a source of guidance or inspiration

After a long day of battling crappy trainers, Green was tired. Trying to battle kids without crushing their ego was mentally exhausting. He had yet to find an apartment in Viridian, so he called out Pidgeot to fly him back to Pallet. The sun was beginning to set, and Green would have admired the beauty of nature if he didn't have to worry about going blind from the rushing wind. Long shadows began to darken the countryside, and he would have flown straight past Pallet if he didn't see the little houses' lights twinkling like tiny beacons.

17. definitive: complete

Green got up at five the next morning, and asked his half-asleep Pidgeot to give him a ride back to Viridian. Judging by the bird's deadpan stare, it'd be unwilling to make this commute on a daily basis. After landing outside the gym, he made sure to give Pidgeot an extra nice pat on the back before returning it to its pokeball. The sun was just beginning to poke out from the distant mountains, and it was probably too early for trainers to be coming in to challenge him. Good, because Green was planning to booby trap the whole dang thing so he'd never had to feel guilty about battling again. He booted up the computer in his office and began to research. That would be the best and most definitive solution to this whole beating up kids problem.

18. incessant: never pausing; continuous; without a stop

By eight o' clock Green's stomach was beginning to wail incessantly. He'd just finished blueprinting a near impossible maze and had contacted Sinnoh's renowned engineer, Volkner for the supplies. As he locked the gym on his way out to the restaurant down the street, he passed a couple trainers that seemed to be heading towards the gym. Green sighed.

19. conceit: a fanciful idea or image, especially an exaggerated poetic comparison; an extravagant construction

As he stepped in the restaurant, he was greeted by a hyper young lady behind the counter. She took his order a little too excitedly, and he grimaced a little when her voice reached an unnaturally high pitch. He stoically took his bagel and coffee, sat at one of the tables by the windows, and leaned back in the colorful chair. There was nobody in the restaurant except for two girls seated at the other end of the dining area, but they were talking loud enough for him to hear.

"Oh my god is that the Green Oak he's so hot!"

"I remember him from the Kanto championships, like, five years ago! But he was a total conceited asshole back then, I mean did you see him when he lost?"

"Whatever~, he's totally grown up now, like girl, look at those sexy eyes! I heard he's the new gym leader too! Hey, I might ask for a trainer's license just so I can go check him out at the gym!"

Green choked on his coffee. He slammed the foam cup down and stormed out.

20. largess: generosity in giving gifts

Green was not famous for his largess. But he was growing desperate for a way to stop kids from challenging him again and again; yesterday, this one kid came by four times to challenge him (Green wiped the floor with him each time). He debated handing out badges to the persistent ones. He'd heard stories of the leaders in Hoenn dishing bashes out like candy, so he probably wouldn't get in too much trouble. As he reentered the gym, he became suspicious as he noticed the door was unlocked. He put a hand on Eevee's pokeball and walked in cautiously.
