Team Elemental STILL Aren't Scary

Or

Sky Is Mean

I woke up in a bad mood. I had eaten too much and then ridden the Ferris wheel one too many times causing myself to throw up and I didn't manage to get any Pokémon plushies in the claw machine. As far as I was concerned, going to the festival had been a waste of time. Rina was nervous because today was the day she was going to battle her chubby rival Nicholas. Rina hadn't really trained and was quite tired so she shouted at me when Andy and I were arguing, saying that we were getting in her way. I didn't hold a grudge because I knew she was just scared of losing to that meanie Nicholas. When Nicholas finally arrived he led the way to a big field near the Pokémon Centre and my Andy volunteered to be the referee. He was so brave! Rikki told me to stand with her and Andy so that I wouldn't get in the way of the battle. As if I would! Rina started stressing over which one of Rikki's Pokémon she should borrow. Didn't she ever relax?

"Pick one at random," I suggested. It was the obvious thing to do. Tubby congratulated me for having such a great brainwave with a generous lick on my cheek which almost knocked me over. Andy started explaining the rules and it was boring, but I liked to hear the sound of his voice. Nicholas released an Espeon – a Pokémon that I thought was cute in a mysterious kind of way – and Rina decided to put her Staravia against it. Staravia wasn't cute, but it was funny because it looked like a little man in a business suit and an oddly shaped hat when I squinted. They started fighting and pretty soon, the mysteriously cute Espeon won the battle.

From then on it was all downhill and Rina lost. She was really upset about it and Tubby gave her a hug to cheer her up, even though it didn't work. At the Pokémon Centre she looked so depressed, like a Gloom with less dribble, so I suggested that we go to this amazingly cute cake shop I had seen yesterday. Everyone was okay with this idea so we went there. Unfortunately, Tubby couldn't fit inside the stupidly small front door, no matter how hard I tried to push him in. In the end we had to eat outside but that didn't stop the cakes from tasting wonderful! I loved them so much I bought loads – and some to take with me. When we finally staggered back to the Pokémon Centre, Rina was told that her Pokémon were in really bad shape and needed a lot of rest. Rikki and Andy got all excited about a play area in the centre for Pokémon and the left their Pokémon there. I wanted Tubby to have some fun too but he was too big for the play area. Nurse Joy suggested that I leave him in the garden so I did and Tubby promptly fell asleep under the shade of a large tree.

With our Pokémon happily doing what they wanted to for once, we decided to look in the gym. When we were about halfway there we were stopped by a man and woman in Team Elemental uniforms.

"Well, I haven't seen you in a while," the woman smirked. I knew I'd seen her somewhere before! The man too! They were friends of Selene and Saul. Excited by this news, I gladly offered the man a cookie from the packet I had been saving for myself. The woman slapped his head just as he was about to take it from me.

"Karumo! We are the bad guys; we don't accept cookies from little girls with odd hair!" she yelled. I shrugged and skipped back to my friends. More for me! Rikki tried to barge past Karumo but he pushed her with such strength that she fell on her butt. It was actually quite funny to watch.

"You're gonna pay for that!" Rikki got ready to smash Karumo's face in (I assume) but Rina held her back. She was such a kill-joy. Karumo and his girlfriend released their Pokémon: a Blastoise and a Flygon. Well, six can play at that game. I reached in my bag and grabbed Tubby's Pokéball. I couldn't hold both my bag and the ball so I had to let go of Andy's rope.

"Go Tubby! Let's kick some butt!" I said, and threw his ball. It hit Karumo in his stomach but that was all that happened. I realized that it was a red apple, not Tubby's ball. Oh crap! Andy must think I'm an idiot! I giggled and ran to collect my precious apple, hoping that Andy hadn't noticed. When I stood up, I was face-to-face with Karumo's Blastoise. I was mesmerized. I hadn't realized before just how much it looked like a Snorlax. The Blastoise smiled at me.

"Pretty turtle..." Karumo came up to me and shoved me so hard that I fell on the floor, just like Rikki had. It wasn't funny this time though. It actually hurt quite a lot and I wanted to cry. Andy helped me to my feet, which made me forget all about crying. He was such a great boyfriend. Rikki yelled at Karumo for pushing me and I swelled with pride. She was being nice! Maybe she didn't want to steal Andy from me..? Ha! Who wouldn't want to steal Andy from me! He was a stud.

"I'm getting bored and it's a bit cold so let's just proceed with our mission given to us by Terry. We have lost track of Sky and we have no clue to her whereabouts so we basically have to capture Rina and get information out of her," Karumo said proudly. His girlfriend's eyes became wide and her face went slightly red with anger.

"You moron! You just told them our whole plan!" she hollered. I think she wanted to hit him again, although she managed to hold back.

"I did?" Karumo asked dumbly. He was so sweet when he wasn't pushing innocent little girls on the floor and hurting their butts. Karumo's wife ordered her Flygon to use Hyper Beam and I was reminded of Tubby. I wondered if the Flygon's Hyper Beam was as strong as Tubby's was. Karumo told his very nice Blastoise to use Earthquake and the ground started to shake a lot, which made everyone that wasn't on Team Elemental's side fall over. My butt hurt even more! The Hyper Beam shot nowhere near us and Karumo said it was just a warning. Yeah right! The Flygon was blind.

Sky came out from an alleyway with a Ninetales (that bore a remarkable resemblance to Rikki, I might add) and a posh-looking girl who had with her a Piplup and a Beffa...or Meffa...or something. Sky and Rina started arguing about kissing someone and it got me thinking: me and Andy had never kissed before. I mean we had on the cheek, but anyone could kiss on the cheek. Grandma Lola did that to me whenever she saw me! I wanted to know when we were going to do it on the lips. Thinking of the (handsome) devil, Andy intervened to try to get Rina and Sky to stop arguing.

"We are still here you know!!" Karumo's very angry wife screamed. Everyone stared at her. It was funny, I had almost forgotten she was there. "You can all go as soon as Sky agrees to come with us. So Sky; what do you say?" Wow. Karumo's mistress almost sounded sweet.

"Yeah, right. I wouldn't come with you losers in a million years! I know what you want from me: Mew. I don't know if you already know this but I captured Mew," Sky announced proudly. She was so lucky: Mew was adorable! Sky released Mew and Kaurmo's mistress ordered Blastoise and Flygon to grab her. Sky told Mew to teleport them all to Snowpoint City and in a flash Team Elemental were gone. Rina and Rikki came over to where I was standing with Andy and Rikki said that we could go now. Finally! I was beginning to get bored.

"Not so fast! Do you honestly think I'm going to let you go after what you said?" Sky sounded like one of those evil villains on TV who won't let the good guy escape the evil liar. I didn't like it.

"Look, we have places to be and things to do. Rina and you obviously aren't friends anymore so just drop it and get on with your life," Rikki told Sky. Sky raised her eyebrow and asked Rikki who she was. When Rikki told Sky her name, Sky asked who Andy was.

"Oh come on! His name is Andy. Does any of this matter?!" I noticed that Rikki forgot to mention that Andy was my boyfriend. Was she trying to hint to Sky's friend that he was up for grabs? Sky started to eye up Andy and I was shocked – surely she was too young for him?? I knew I had to distract her so...

"Hiya Sky! I have missed you! Do you want a cookie?" I made a step forward so Sky could reach the cookie but Rina held me back.

"I haven't missed you." Sky was so rude now!! I'll bet it was the influence of that snobby-looking new friend of hers. Her friend introduced herself as Alice-a-warden or something equally boring and then Sky started to say all this stuff to her about what she and Rina had been through, making it sound like something from a TV soap. They all started arguing while Andy and I just watched them. I'm not sure about Andy but I felt left out. We sat a few feet away from them and when they started to fight I pulled out my copy of Sinnoh Weekly and started to read the embarrassing moments section of the magazine. I loved that part. Some people were so unlucky.

"Oh my gosh!!" I squealed and jumped up after just reading the funniest story I had ever read in the magazine. It was about this girl who found out her crush liked blondes so tried to dye her own her blonde – except it came out bright orange! Her crush didn't like it and called her a carrot head. It was hilarious. I dropped to the floor and rolled around laughing. When I got over it, I came across something that I found very interesting. It said in the magazine that I as supposed to get a free lollipop with that issue. Where was my free lollipop?!?! I urged Andy to do something but he ignored me and continued to watch the fight. I rolled my eyes. Boys!

Finally the fight was over and Sky and Alice-a-warden stalked off. We all gathered around Rikki who I guess had been doing the fighting. We noticed several other kids who had been watching the fight. Morons. Sinnoh Weekly was way more interesting. That reminded me: the lollipop. When we started heading back towards the Pokémon Centre, I got Andy's attention.

"Andy?" I said, putting on my best serious face. Andy also made a serious face. We matched!

"Yes, Tizzy?" he asked.

"Tomorrow we shall sue that shop man for stealing my lollipop that I paid for!" Andy sighed.

Note: Sorry for the previous mix-up. I've calmed down now XD I just freaked out when I realized I hadn't uploaded it...Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
