131. insuperable: impossible to overcome
Venusaur was able to take care of Misty's Golduck and Quagsire, but Lapras and Starmie were a different matter. Green crossed his fingers and switched Venusaur out after it'd used a sludge bomb and a giga drain, but took a severe ice beam. He then switched out to Espeon, had him make a substitute and use calm mind until Lapras fainted from poisoning. Espeon's substitute broke when Starmie shot a particularly strong water pulse, but by then Espeon was ready, and launched a powerful shadow ball.
Misty refused to admit that Green was insuperable, but accepted her loss grudgingly. She glared at Green as she struggled to contain her anger; she found that it helped if she channeled it into the pen she signed Green's petition with. When Green left the gym with daggers glaring into his back, he tilted the petition and found that if he looked carefully he could see indentations where Misty had all but scratched out her name. Violent woman.
132. forage: to search for food or provisions
Green went to the Pokecenter to check out the local food, and was dismayed to find that the food was still porridge, but this time, bean porridge. He scowled and walked through Cerulean's quiet streets, looking for some restaurant. Eevee seemed equally eager to eat and joined him in foraging for food by sniffing the air and prancing off.
133. hirsute: having excessive body hair
Eevee led him to an underground, shady looking bar, both highly unexpected and completely expected for such a quiet, "orderly" city; the local party freaks probably had congregated to form the club in some back alleyway that Misty'd probably never think to check. Eevee was nearly drooling as she skipped inside, and Green had to agree that the smell of stir-fry and roasting meat was heavenly. He sat down at the farthest seat closest to the wall, shading his eyes and avoiding the curious gaze of the party-goers. He really did not need to be recognized here of all places.
The bartender, a cheery but somewhat hirsute man in his thirties, saw his discomfort and led him to the much more friendly ground floor restaurant setting. Green again settled for a corner seat and skimmed the menu. He ordered one of the various stir-fried noodles and dug in heartily, until he saw an innocent looking hair lying on top of a noodle. He choked.
134. rancorous: bitter and resentful
After Green finished his wholesome meal (making sure to double check for hairs before eating), he relaxed into his chair and flipped through one of the numerous gossip magazines lining the shelves that ran along the walls of the restaurant. All the news seemed distant to him, and stories of cheating husbands and rancorous wives did not interest him.
135. gruesome: causing horror; frightful and shocking
Bored out of his mind with the magazines, Green looked at his bill and pondered a reasonable tip. The food had certainly been delicious, and the hairy man was certainly a nice guy, but the fact that he might have eaten a thirty year old's arm hair was rather gruesome. He settled with a ten percent tip and wiped his mouth with a napkin, now prepared to leave.
136. strut: to walk with a proud, arrogant bearing
Three girls, almost identical in facial structure and height, strutted in that moment. Green found that he could only tell them apart by their bright orange, pink, and blue hair color. Their faces were familiar, but he'd never seen any of them before...
He keyed in on the gasps and murmurs around him. "It's the water flowers of Cerulean!" "The former gym leaders! They're so pretty, it makes you wonder what happened to Misty." Green raised an eyebrow at this - Misty was related to them? He stared at the blue-haired one and began noticing the similarities in facial structures.
137. eulogy: a speech or written tribute in praise of someone who has died
The blue-haired girl apparently caught his stare, and smirked back. Green turned to grimace into his napkin in distaste. The trio settled in the table next to his.
"Misty was a great gym leader, wasn't she Violet?" The orange haired girl spoke too loudly.
"It's such a shame her record was so bad though, I guess it's time for us to take authority, isn't that right Lily?"
"Come on, Daisy, you know I hate working in the gym, battles suck!" Green frowned - he hated people that had the same name as his close friends and family; it was so confusing and frustrating, especially since his Daisy was definitely not a orange haired slut. These girls were assholes too; they formulated a sarcastic eulogy for Misty (had they seen her defeat or something?), and suddenly Green was able to sympathize with and understand Misty's... volatile nature.
138. leery: suspicious, distrustful
Green abruptly stood and walked out of the restaurant, and one of the sisters glanced at him and winked. He bolted out the building and sucked in the fresh, non-stir-fry smell and slowed his pace down to a walk, keeping an eye out for the hotel name Leaf had listed. When he reached the humble building, he was surprised to see Misty checking in as well. He had half a heart to say hi, and was about to do so when she turned around and glared at him. He pursed his lips and walked up to the counter.
"Your sisters are assholes."
Misty's dark, leery face immediately brightened a little. "Yup."
139. laden: loaded; burdened; afflicted
"...Why are you checking into a hotel in your own city?"
"Trying to escape said assholes. Every time I lose a battle, they go to the bar to party and celebrate and pick up guys and then come home drunk an-" Green coughed.
"Sorry that was getting personal fast. Um...are you ok?"
Misty snorted. "Yeah, I'm just laden with some serious family problems and I'm being consoled by the person that's causing today's problems."
140. inalienable: not able to be taken away or transferred to others
"...Uh sorry? Well... oh, I heard one of your sisters talking about taking your place at the gym. Isn't that illegal? Gym ownership is inalienable unless the challenger can beat the leader in under five minutes, and even my battle took at least six minutes."
"Once upon a time, they used to be the beautiful, and really crappy, gym leaders of Cerulean; then Lily got bored, and they let me challenge them and I wiped the floor with them but they wouldn't admit it and just said they let me win... they think I'll let them take the leadership whenever they feel into it. They'll tell my dad or booby trap the house or something so I can't challenge them." Misty growled.
Green accepted his key from the lady behind the counter. "Uh, well, if they do take the leadership than I'll have to thrash them too right? How about this, I'm pissed since one of them is called Daisy and you're pissed because I beat you and caused the whole shebang, so what if tomorrow, I just beat them in under five minutes and then hand you back your title and we call it even?"
"...Fair enough. No mercy on them, ok."
