*It's the annoying Author once more! If you've been keeping up...I bet you didn't expect
that to happen to our poor dear, Christine! I don't mean it in an evil sinister way, but I
REALLY do have a plot going on here! This is just Christine talking about her past right
now! Soon she'll be back into the present, but you gotta understand her past! I can't wait
to get to the love interest...I haven't said a thing! I don't own anyone...yada yada
yada...except purdy Christine and her semi messed up life...she'll be ok...promise! Or do
I...? *babbles endlessly* Bye-bye!
I was in and out of foster homes until I was ten. Ahhhh, yes, freedom was nice. I
got my Pokemon license and Pokedex and began training. By the end of the week I
had the following Pokemon: Magikarp, two Ninetales, Oddish, Cubone, Pidgey, and I
traded my great Beedrill for an Eevee at a Trading Festival just outside of Pallet Town. I
meet Ash Ketchum when I was hanging out in Viridian Forest. I had a battle with him,
where my wonderful Magikarp evolved into a Gyarados and his Caterpie got its butt
kicked. From then on, Gyarados was named Mercury. I was ready...so ready.
Adrenaline pumped through my veins as I marched to the Pokemon HQ. Ok...well I
marched to Professor Oak's lab where I found people from the Pokemon HQ on the line.
The old man with hair long turned gray studied my Pokemon while I spoke.
"My name is Christine Tarrant and I am heir to the Pallet Town Gym. I want to
run it and restore it's good name. I understand I must go through a tough challenge, but
I am certainly ready." I said hiding the eagerness in my voice. After chatting with the
young man with dark brown hair and blue eyes, I found out I was to battle Lance, from
the Elite Four. I kept a straight face and kept my cool. Inside, I was freaked, but I was
sure my Pokemon were up for the challenge. Fortunately for me, Professor Oak had
previously straightened everything out.
Now, two days later I was standing in the gym. It was a plain and standard
battlefield, but it suited out needs quite nicely. Lance was wise...he wasn't just a hot
shot all talk trainer. He had dark hair--black. He had a crew cut, but he had deep brown
eyes. I was able to use three Pokemon (one at a time) to defeat his one Dragonite. I
thought hard, about which Pokemon to use as he stared me down. I swear (not in a bad
way) that he was trying to steal away my confidence. My Pokemon flashed in my
mind...it was certain I would use one of my Ninetales and Mercury. Who else?
Eevee...no way...I suppose Oddish was my best shot. I would start out with
Oddish...yeah, that's it! Stall until I get it asleep and give it all I've got! I gripped the
Pokeball tightly as I saw his Dragonite emerge from an Ultraball...He smirked
confidently...so sure that he was going to win.
"I choose you, Oddish!" I spin once and released the Pokeball in my own classic
way of throwing Pokeballs. The small blue bulb with no arms popped out of the ball
ready to fight! I smiled softly at Oddish even though her back was to me. Lance through
his cape fully behind his back and his smirked turned into a grin.
"Is this the you could offer me? Dragonite should have no problem with a
powerless Pokemon such as this, Oddish," he put an accent into powerless and I
frowned.
"Oddish, try your stun spore!" I commanded going in for the stealthy way to win a
battle. Lance just laughed, not even bothering to tell Dragonite what to do. The spore
floated quickly towards Dragonite, but it just flapped its wings and sent the spore flying
at Oddish. I was about to tell Oddish to get out of the way, but I was too late...Oddish
had already leaped! Lance looked taken aback. by Oddish's reaction time.
"Dragonite, use mega punch now!" He called out to his Pokemon. Dragonite
nodded and prepared for the attack. I knew all of the signs and motions of when I
Pokemon was about to attack...my mom taught me well. Dragonite's fist began glow or
something...
"Oddish, quickly, use endure!" I hollered out to my plant Pokemon! Oddish had a
serious look in her eyes when she began to glow with power that would hold her
through this attack. Dragonite's attack soared at her, hitting her extremely hard.
Thankfully, endure worked and Oddish could give it one more shot!
"Oddish, solar beam!" With my words Oddish jumped up taking in light from the
open skylights on the gym roof. The sun blinded Dragonite, so it couldn't follow her in
air. I squinted up and saw she was ready to release it...I think she was waiting for my
word.
"Go Oddish! Solar Beam, now!" I called just incase. Go figure, I was right and
she let it fly! Dragonite wasn't ready, and was knocked to the ground. It appeared to be
a victory! Oddish was so happy, she was dancing as I praised he her job well done!
With that note, she evolved into Gloom...just to receive a sneak attack from Dragonite
sending Gloom into the gym wall! She was out cold. I had no choice but to return and
hurry this battle up so I could get her medical help.
"Ha, ha, you really thought you could beat my Dragonite with that Pokemon?" He
laughed at me. Again, I frowned and called out Mercury. When he saw my giant
Dragon poised and ready to attack...he wasn't as cocky as before.
"How long have you been training...a week, two maybe? You must be pretty
good to already have a Gyarados!" He meant it to be like, you're pretty good for a
rookie, but there's not way in heck you'll beat me. I simply smiled this time. Mercury
could do it, and if not...I KNEW my Ninetales could.
"Blizzard, now!" I quickly said. Mercury, in less than two seconds had already
launched the attack! It was amazing...the Dragonite was frozen solid!
"Uh...Dragonite?! Dragonite, bud, are you with me?" Lance called to his frozen
friend.
"I wouldn't dare use hyper beam...that would shatter you Dragonite into MANY
pieces and that's wrong. Admit your defeat to me, Lance!" I shouted defiantly to Lance.
He gulped and returned his Dragon to its ball.
"Alright. You defeated me fair and square. You have shown a lot of talent and I
grant you permission to run this gym and restore it's perfect reputation. Don't let too
many of these get out, you hear?" He smiled warmly as he tossed me a bag of badges.
Element badges...for the Element gym. For once, since my mom died, I was extremely
happy.
