Team Angeles: FrancisTheUnconsciousSnivy10 1 does not own anything!
There will be no kissing scene with Francis X Luna today.
(Last lines before the bell)
(Possession- Cheh)
Cheh uses Leaf Blade
Cheh ends the match with leaf blade
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Squirtle is unconscious, and is unable to battle. The play is fair, and the winner of this match is Los Angeles native, Francis the trainer" The referee said
The crowd was giving both competitors a standing ovation. Francis just won team Angeles's first badge. Alex and Francis meet at the center, as well as Luna, and the rest of the team.
"You and I had a great battle. Cheh the Snivy is great and you showed me why you are a great competitor. The crowd is just waiting for me to give you one thing, and it is the badge of the Waterfront Gym, and here it is, presented to you by Adam, who will take over my job when I go with you guys" Alex said as the crowd went on a cheering rampage.
"Thank you Mr. Alex. As you all can see, Francis showed us a great battle with Mr. Alex, and he did not back down. He also did say that he was going to travel with Francis and the team, which I do not mind. Team Angeles, come on over" Mr. Adam said as Luna, Opal, and the team came down from the podium stand.
"As you can see, team Angeles is not just any old team from Los Angeles. They are made of people who have courage, heart, kindness, and all things good. Francis showed us all that he has the heart, and courage to save Luna from a attack that put him in a coma. To Francis, it might have felt like that he just missed out on a medal opportunity. Francis, today, on behalf of Alex, the now former Waterfront Gym Leader, myself, Mr. Adam, the new leader of the Waterfront Gym, and the rest of the Waterfront gym family, we present you the Waterfront Gym badge" Mr. Adam said as he handed a badge with a waterfall, and a gym on it.
"Thank you very much" Francis said
"It was our pleasure, but your team gets something too" Mr. Adam said as he got the storage room to grab medals.
"Team Angeles, you have saved a friend from harm. You also saved the area from a pokemon known to cause hardship in the community. Francis even saved Luna from a potential coma, and that takes a lot of courage to do. He saved someone by taking the attack. You all deserve these courage medals for all your bravery, especially for what Francis did to save Luna, and saving Francis" Mr. Adams said as he handed the team the medals.
Each member of team Angeles bows their heads as they received their medals. They also shake Mr. Adams hand as a sign of congratulations.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for team Angeles" The announcer said as the crowd gives another standing ovation.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please direct your attention to now the former gym Leader, Mr. Alex" The announcer said as Mr. Alex spoke his words. Several audience members stood up, as Mr. Alex spoke. These were the members of the audience that challenged the gym, but lost. They always liked Mr. Alex, even though they lost.
"For the past 12 years, I have been honored to be a part of the Waterfront gym family. Whenever a challenger wanted to challenge me, I would always accept their challenge. Every time that a challenger lost, I would always give them advice on how to get better. They happen to be here tonight. I want to allow them to join me on stage" Mr. Alex said as the former challengers came on stage congratulating Francis.
"These former challengers always loved my advice on how to get better and stronger, and the tradition lives on with Mr. Adams. You see, my record on gym battles before Francis defeated me was 49 to 0. Today was my only loss, but this loss, is turned into a win, because I learned about how Francis saved Luna, and how team Angeles saved Francis. Francis had the courage to save Luna, and team Angeles had the courage to save Francis. That is what true love, and friendship is all about. Team Angeles never gave up on saving Francis, and I never gave up on helping these former challengers who are standing with me here. While I might not be a gym leader, I will travel with the one who proved to me that he had the courage to save someone" Mr. Alex said as the crowd gave another ovation.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I want to thank all of you for your support for all these years. I will still be around, but I will be traveling with team Angeles on their journey to 8 badges. Thank you, all of you. I will never forget the battles that I had, especially with Francis, and these challengers with me" Mr. Alex concluded as he hugged the former challengers, and Francis.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, one more time for Mr. Alex, the former challengers, team Angeles, and the winner of the battle, Francis the trainer" the announcer said as the crowd gave all a standing ovation.
(Kissing scene and cliffhanger with Luna X Francis is ahead!)
Team Angeles hugged each other, and the former challengers congratulated Francis for getting the badge. As everyone was hugging each other, Luna and Francis talk to each other.
"Luna" Francis called
"Yes?" Luna asked
"It's been a while since I have been unconscious, and the fact that I saved you. I think you might change your feelings about me" Francis said
"You're correct. It has been a while since you were unconscious, and yes, I have changed my feelings about you. In fact, I love you Francis" Luna said
"Luna, I love you too. From the bottom of my heart" Francis said
"Leo saved you, you saved me, and the team saved you. I think it's the time to do it" Luna said in a romantic way
"Yes Luna, it is time" Francis said
The audience saw that Luna and Francis are about to kiss each other for the first time since Francis was unconscious for a long time.
"Luna?" Francis asked
"Francis?" Luna asked
"Let's do it" Both of them said
As Luna and Francis were about to kiss each other, a rope from behind grabs Francis, and constricts his breath. Luna tries to save Francis, but the rope grabs Francis's left leg, and his throat, and constricts more air. Luna tries to untie Francis. The crowd tries to help Luna, but the rope has constricted enough of Francis's airflow to knock Francis unconscious. The crowd then sees who the attacker is, the attacker is a green snake (Serperior).
"FRANCIS NOOO!..." Luna yelled
(Current situation and Location- Waterfront Gym in Long Beach, CA, and 12.89 seconds after Francis fainted)
Luna has just witnessed an attack on her love, Francis the trainer. Luna knows that this pokemon is going to cause harm to the team. She sees the pokemon dragging Francis outside using the rope. Luna sees Alex carrying a pair of scissors. Luna asks Alex if she can use the scissors.
"May I use those to cut the rope?" Luna asks Alex
"Yes, but the rope from I what I see, is too strong for these" Alex said
"I see" Luna said
"The only way to help Francis out is to untie that rope" Alex said
"Let's do this thing" Luna said
Luna and the team heads outside to find a house that had a Serperior picture on it.
"This could be Serperior's hideout. I wonder what is going on in there." Luna asked as she sees Serperior dragging Francis inside.
"I just saw Serperior dragging Francis inside that house" Luna said
"We must see what is going on" Leo said as the team headed to the house
As they were heading toward the house, they saw a television set outside. They also saw a campsite area with a fire burning. The team approaches the campsite, but the campsite disappears. Luna can sense that the campsite is a illusion of what Serperior is capable of. She happens to be correct as she turns on the television screen. What Luna sees on the television, makes her want to save Francis again.
"Welcome to an introduction of the "Kindness VS Evil" movement. I am the leader of this movement. I am a Serperior. You see, for those of you who do not know, we are doing a "Kindness VS Evil" movement. The goal is to tell you all that evil rules for us pokemon in this scene. Here is an example of what this movement does" The Serperior says as a different scene appears on the screen. Luna is beginning to get scared of what could happen to Francis.
"In this scene, a young human girl is trying to tell her human friends that they all need to spread kindness to the world of pokemon. The girl has just won a gym badge at the Waterfront Gym, and almost kissed a human boy, when I grabbed a rope and took the boy away( If you are paying attention, this is exactly what happened to Francis, except that Francis did not tell about spreading kindness at that time). Once we take the boy away, we trap the boy in our Kindness VS Evil house, which is located to the right of your viewing area. Once in there, we make sure the boy is knocked unconscious before we start our plan" The Serperior said as Luna gets scared again
"Our plan is simple, and that is to eliminate kindness, and to maintain evil. Maintaining evil is on the minds of the following members; Gengar, myself, Zubat, Ninetales, and Gastly. From what I know, Gengar has been eliminated by a team known as team Angeles" the Serperior said as Luna now knows that the pokemon mentioned are following the team
"How do we eliminate kindness you ask? Simple, for those who interferes with our plans, there is a thing called the trap for you. If you ever attempt to save the one inside the house, you will not see your friend again. How you will not see your friend you ask? Well the answer is to trap the ones who try to save the person, and for me to get rid of the person and their traces. All we do to get rid of the person is to burn their traces in our campsite and to eat the person" The Serperior said as Luna got furious.
"We can also erase the memories of those who try to save the person" The Serperior on the television said
Luna gets angry. She wants to save Francis as soon as possible. Luna does not wants Francis to be eaten by Serperior..

Maplestory Review: If you are looking for a game to play on the computer, Maplestory is the game to download. This game can be downloaded for free. This game is an RP type game where the players fight monsters, level up, find items, help people, and so many more. The game has a class system with skill sets .You could be a Warrior, Mage, Thief, Wizard, Magician, Dawn Warrior, and so many more. This game is best played with friends, so that you get party quests, and special events for parties (parties are teams of friends of 2 or more). The game also has more character types coming in (if a character type is added, then you must apply the patch before continuing your adventure). If you want to help your self with the controller, you may select the keys you want to use for items, weapons, skills, items, and everything else. There are also mini games within the game. For those of you who like dungeons, this game has dungeons for you to explore, and level up in. As of today, there are more than 10 million players playing Maplestory (I am a player as well) The only downside to the game is if you have a bad internet connection. If you have a bad connection, then your game will slow down but, if you want to find a game that is worth your free downloads, this is it. Maplestory gets a 9.59 out of 10.
That's all for this chapter. Tomorrow, it is time to save Francis!
