I had to walk into the worst setup I've seen thus far in a Gym. Here it is. I asked the Gym guide about it and he explained away.

"Your goal is getting to the top of the Gym for a battle with Burgh. You'll notice walls of honey that look like they're preventing you from moving on, but run into them with high momentum to push through effortlessly. And don't forget to admire the art and avoid the other booby trap: hidden harlequins that jump out and force you to battle them! Good luck, you'll need it."

First thing wrong with that: his description of the clowns makes it sound like this is something with a TV-MA rating. It's not. Secondly, I'm mentally, not physically disabled, but what about those who are? How the heck would they advance? Or a better question is, "Could they?" Or would they just give up on the badge and be forever mistaken for a stupid Genwunner? I pondered the question as I advanced, while I got covered in gooey honey, and ended up soiling my underwear thanks to the creepy clowns, and admired some of the art. Some of the art was abstract, and some of it wasn't. The one that spread the question around my mind like jelly was a piece called I Need a Z-Axis. It shows one of Kalos's legendary Pokémon, Zygarde, deep in thought trying to find out how to deal with the constant arguments of the other 2 of what's becoming known as the "DNA Trio," whom are denying that they fight. I found the piece thought-provoking. I've added this to my list of things that I wish could make me cry man tears (even if it's like Superman's pulling my heartstrings) along the music playing in the part of the Gym I was in (Wake Me Up). I had finally reached the path to Burgh at that time, and walked down it.

Upon meeting Burgh, he greeted me. "Hello, Matthew! Getting to battle you at last is such a pleasure, and my Bug Pokémon agree! So let's cut to the chase!"

Best idea to send Steve out. Burgh chose to use a Whirlipede, so I commanded to Steve, "Give the customer a Rock Blast! By which I mean your enemy." The super-effectiveness left Whirlipede almost down, but it got a chance for something of a good hit. A repeated Rock Blast then finished that part. "And that's to go!" I commented. "Mmm... I'll have to give you a tip under 20%!" Burgh said in response. "Check out my Leavanny!" I chose to send in Sakurai for some karaoke! Singing put Leavanny to sleep, but then he showed off a new move: Rollout! It makes the user go until it misses, and when it doesn't, strength goes up until it skyrockets! If you use Defense Curl before you use Roll Out, its power gets doubled. Despite Grass resistances, it did in Leavanny quick. "Darn it!" Burgh shouted, though not upset. "Just one ace up my sleeve left! Don't fail me now, Dwebble!"

That Rock resistance didn't look good, so I commanded Sakurai to sing. It worked, and Rollout worked... Until Dwebble got up and broke the combo, then the next Sing didn't work. Dwebble didn't listen to Sakurai's lullaby. Sturdy is an annoying ability when in the opponents hand. Would the next Pound attack win? It might, if it hit.

…

Yes! I lucked out big with that. I managed to win the battle!

"Well," Burgh said, "that really rustled my jimmies. Your team was valiant, and such a valiant effort should be rewarded. Here you go! The Insect Badge!"

Note from my new co-author wolfboydude52 (You don't have to read this if you don't want to, if you are reading what I type now, what is in these parentheses, why? It isn't important, I am just rambling on about nothing.): Enjoy the updated fiction, added a few jokes and fixed a few typos. Just to let people know, I have ausbergs, (However you spell it...) so I am in the autism spectrum. I know a lot of things about autism, and have personally one of the three kinds of autism. The rude, anti-social people and I am the loud but kind person of autism. I also have ADHD, so mix it all together and you got INSANITY mixed with a hint of genius.
