Bobby: Hello everyone. I'm back again, giving more chapters of my favorite (and only) Pokemon story.

Winter: Yay!

Bobby: If you think I own anything more than Bobby and the plot (somewhat), you are sorely mistaken. Winter belongs to Winter T. Hedgehog 01.

(Chapter 8)

(Bobby's pov)

The three of us headed off of the ferry, and saw it leave. We waved goodbye, as it was simply what you do when a boat takes off.

We decided to walk to the gym, where Leaf and I would be recieving our third gym badge.

I decided to start up a conversation, seeing as we had to go all the way across town.

"So... girls, uh, what's up?" I said. I mentally face palmed at how stupid I sounded.

"Well, I have been training with Glaceon, and she knows some good moves." Winter said, smiling.

"Vaporeon is pretty much the same." Leaf said. "Hey Bobby, can we see what is in the Premier Ball?"

I pulled the ball off my belt, and grinned. "Sure. Then come on out!"

In a flash of red light, a small quadrapedal animal, mostly brown, with white shaggy fur around the neck and at the fox's tail. It was an Eevee.

"Aw, you get to pick your evolution." Winter said.

"Jealous?" I asked.

"Yes." Winter pouted.

"At least you got an ice type." I said.

"Enough talk! I wanna get the next badge!" Leaf said, surprising both of us.

"Alright. Let's go!"

(At the gym)

"What the hell is this?" I said, looking over the two room gym.

There were at least 15 small trash cans, all evenly spaced out.

"Yo! Champs in the making! Over here!" A middle aged man said, who was standing just next to a statue.

"What?" Leaf asked.

"Lt. Surge has traps set up to keep out all of those that are not clever enough. You gotta check the cans, and find switches, or you'll stay locked out!" The man said.

"Alright. Thanks." Winter said.

"Now go solve the puzzle."

I stepped over to the first can, and checked it. "Hey! There's a switch here!" I pushed it, and the giant door unlocked.

Leaf came up beside me, and checked the can to my right. "Got the other one!" The massive steel door shot up.

The three of us walked into the room that used to be locked. Lt. Surge was a tall man, blonde hair, and mostly wore camouflage.

"Ah, some challengers! My Raichu was getting antsy." Lt. Surge said, grinning madly. He then took a better look at one specific challenger. "Ah, is that you Bobby? I haven't seen you since your father came here on vacation, some 10 years ago?"

"You'd be right, Surge. But we're not here for chit-chat. Leaf and I challenge you to a battle for the Thunder Badge!" I said, holding a Pokeball before me. Leaf quickly did the same.

"Alright. So a double battle huh? Get ready to be paralized into submission! Go Voltorb, Pikachu!"

"Pikachu, go!" Leaf and I both said.

"Electric types aren't very effective against electric types!" Winter yelled. But I had a plan.

"Pikachu, Double Team!" I said, and my Pikachu made many copies of itself.

"Pikachu, use Tail Whip on Surge's Pikachu." Leaf said, and her Pikachu smacked Surge's Pikachu right in the face.

"I hope you two have a strategy. It stopped getting easy back in Cerulean City. Pikachu, Voltorb, use Shock Wave." Surge's pokemon sent powerful electric shocks towards our Pikachu.

"Dodge it! Leaf said, and her Pikachu ran to the side.

"Ready up your defences!" I said, and my Pikachu crossed her arms in front of her.

Both were struck by the attack, but only Leaf's Pikachu tripped.

"Damn it. Pikachu, use quick attack on Surge's Pikachu!" Leaf said, and her Pikachu charged, hitting Surge's right in the face, knocking it out cold.

"Yeah! Kick his butt!" Winter said, cheering us on.

Surge laughed. "What a powerful Pikachu. Voltorb, Selfdestruct!" He said, and the small ball rolled to the center of the field, before exploding.

Our Pikachu were sent flying back, right into us, and we fell back. "Return." The three of us said, returning our pokemon.

Surge sent out his pokemon first, "Raichu, Electebuzz, let's finish this!"

"I couldn't agree more." I said, and sent out Charmeleon.

"Let's go!" Leaf said, and sent out her Bulbasaur.

"Use Thunderpunch!" Surge said, swinging his fist in a punching motion, and the two electric pokemon rushed forward, with glowing fists.

I started to panic a little bit. "Charmeleon, use Ember!" Charmeleon sent out a large amount of fire, hitting both of the pokemon, but doing little to stop them.

"Sleep powder!" Leaf said, and the two pokemon ran towards the mist of sleep inducing seeds, and the two slumped just before our pokemon's feet.

"What? No!" Surge said, losing his momentum, and falling flat on his face.

"Alright! Charmeleon, use Ember!" I called, and the deep red lizard released a flurry of flames, hitting both pokemon.

They cried out in pain in their sleep, but the electric types only rolled over, not awakened by their injuries.

I smirked, and called out for another Ember. Leaf called out for a Bullet Seed. The attacks collided with the electric types, and the two jolted up, before falling back with swirls in their eyes.

"Alright! We won!" I walked over to Leaf, and kissed her. Winter had run over, and jumped on my back.

Surge walked over to us, chuckling. "Quite the ladies man, just like your father. But not quite as dense."

I smirked, and walked towards him, still carrying Winter. He held out two badges, and Leaf and I both took one.

"Alright! We got the Thunder Badge!" We said, doing a victory pose.

Soon after, the three of us left, and headed to the Pokemon Center. We handed our pokemon to the Chansey, I got the keys, and the Nurse started up her usual family pastime.

"So, how are things between you and the ladies?" She asked, with a grin.

"Pretty good." I replied dryly.

"Anything happen in that luxury cruise liner suite?" She asked, with an even bigger grin.

I turned red. "That's none of your concern, Nurse."

She just put on an even bigger grin. "What would your parents think? You being with two girls, and doing 'that' with them?" She held out the keys to our room.

"Shut up Nurse. I know what I'm doing!" I said, and took the keys. "Thank you, and goodnight."

The three of us went upstairs, leaving a pouting Nurse Joy, and a very confused Chansey.

Bobby: Wow, it's been forever since I updated this.

Winter: Yeah, I know.

Cheezel and Demon: *burst in* Why were we locked out?

Bobby: Because I was writing, and didn't need any more distractions.

Winter: Don't forget to review.

Bobby: And make sure you find the reference, and who it's to in your review. This is Bobby the Ghosthog, phasing out.
