N1 Grand Prix, part 1
Will
Two more weeks until the Grand Prix; how cool is that?
I was rolling around the city without really doing anything, and certainly not watching TV. Then I saw people acting like animals everywhere! In fact, the only people who weren't hypnotized…
Were Lan and Maylu!
I went with Lan and jacked Avatar in to follow MegaMan. Then I had to help Lan fight off a pack of wolf-people.
Dex and Yai came and helped us out…though they still thought that they were animals. Maylu led us to the TV building.

I couldn't stand how much MagicMan was throwing out rhymes and viruses. Lan and Will finally got here and gave us some battle chips. But even that wasn't enough to beat him…
Until ProtoMan showed up and got MagicMan's attack to go right back at him!
Yes, I knew who ProtoMan was. Thanks to Will, I'd kept up that much with the news. She forgets things quicker than I do.

Chaud always impressed me with his two-toned hair and stunning blue eyes. Yeah, he was too young for me, but I can be infatuated, right?
His reply to Lan's "I saw your NetBattle; you're really good. What's your name?" was pretty funny, too, since he answered Lan's comment in order: "Gee, thanks. I'm Chaud."
Was it just me, though, or was he being just a little sarcastic?
He told Lan not to blow MegaMan's rep before the Grand Prix and started walking away. Then he stopped just after he passed us. "Oh, and Zebra-Hair?"
That got my attention. Well, my hair really was purple-and-yellow zebra-striped today. "It's Will."
"Will. Watch out for your NetNavi; she's getting a pretty decent reputation herself. Later."
That was weird.
The weeks passed quickly. Then we had to catch NumberMan, who'd gone nuts. Avatar and the other Navis went whipping, but he was kicking them!

It took IceMan and another Navi showing up in succession of each other to defeat NumberMan. Then that Navi just left.
"Who are you?" Megaman yelled after him.
"I…believe his name's SkullMan. He's a NetSaver's NetNavi."

The coolest thing was how we all got to the N1 Grand Prix in time: Yai had her own private jet! I may come close to hating Yai, but she does come in handy.
…It'd have been more dramatic for Dex if he hadn't fallen off his rope. Still, he did win his match.
On the screen, Chaud and Protoman won their match in just twelve seconds!
Lan was fired up to battle and win. I looked at my PET. "Hey, Avatar, am I the only one worried about what's coming?"
"That depends on what you think is coming. Still…you do have a pretty decent sixth sense."
"I was afraid you'd remember that."
The next match was between Tory and IceMan, versus RocketMan and whoever his Navi was. It was over in less than a minute, with IceMan winning!
Later, we hung out with Lan, Miss Mari, and Maysa. Maysa had us choke down sardines.
Well…Lan will eat anything.
And after that, it started to storm.
Lan's match started against Miyu and her mysterious NetNavi. Lan won. It took about five minutes, but he won with some Mini Boomers.
Did I mention I was bored?
The storm cleared after that Net Battle.
My NetBattle was a success; with Avatar's battling skill and my flirtation skill, my male opponent didn't stand a chance, and I bested him in ten seconds.
I waved off the frog-hat reporter. "My secret is, I programmed almost all my battle chips myself, and so I'm the only one who knows how to use them properly."
I wonder how the others will do?
A/N: Episodes...well, definitely ten and eleven take credit, plus one more before that.
