Chapter 14: Bug Versus Bug
"I'm so glad we don't need to go to Nurse Joy now, since we broke all of the bikes that they had at the Pokemon Center. I am just not in the mood to be scolded at." Kyle said as we saw the gym only a few yards away. Yes, now I am going to get my second badge on my journey. Man, this was much longer than I thought it would be. In the Gameboy Version is only takes about two hours to get there! In actual life on the journey, it takes like seven weeks!
"Well, Miss Alison here broke my bike! I am going to follow you, and only you until I get it!" Stacey shouted, mainly to Alison who just rolled her eyes in response.
"I heard you, you said it for hours last night. I know!"
"And because of you Alison we have to go to Nurse Joy and do whatever she needs us to do so she would let us off the hook for breaking all the bikes at the pokemon center! This is your entire fault. I need to help you guys pay her too, because I broke some of them, which came from you and stealing my bike! Give me my money for my bike!"
"With all the money we have, we cannot even afford a cup of starbucks coffee, so the money is not coming to you anytime to you Stacey. Time will go much faster if you stop complaining." Kyle announced to Stacey, yes her complaining annoyed us all, but what she is saying is true about Alison. But she pushed my tolerance of her annoying over the borderline, and that is basically nothing. She can be more annoying than I, which I find just amazing.
"Why don't you show us your pokemon, that will be nice if you actually do." I said to her, I was actually interested of what kind of pokemon she had. Just to see what other trainers had.
"Fine, Mike, I will show you my pokemon. I still want my bike though, just being nice to my pokemon and complimenting me all the time won't make me forget about my bike! I will get the money for my bike, you hear me?" Stacey announced to me. Okay, why did she keep having to mention her bike in every sentence that she says, it is kind of annoying, no duh, "Just to tell you I only collect Electric and Psychic pokemon, they are my favorite types and I keep telling everyone that I am part psychic and I can predict things, but no one believes me! I can control my psychic pokemon though, doesn't that say enough? Well, I got four pokemon so- "
"If you can predict things then why couldn't you predict me breaking your bike, Ms.Psychic one. If you were actually psychic, you would of pushed me off your bike and just let me break my arm as you knew it was going to happen." Alison interrupted in the middle of her sentence, ouch! She was right she should of known. She cornered her, just not literally.
"Miss.Destruction, I cannot use my psychic powers just when I want too. Now can you just be quiet for a second as I release my four pokemon from their pokeballs - "
"If you find yourself such a good trainer then battle me! A four on four battle and I will win!" Alison interrupted her again. Oh god, when can tis stop and I can go to my gym leader battle? I want another badge! Not a battle between two pissed off ladies! I want a badge, is that so much to ask for? 'Yes' Oh shut up the back of my conscience!
"Not now! I want to get myself a new badge!" I had to stop those two at their arguing, well right now I had too. I wanted a battle and I wanted to have it right now! When I am in the mood to battle and I can actually remember all the moves for my pokemon. Also my Pokedex was being mute right now so I do not need to be disturbed by the bloody thing. 'I never knew it was bloody.' Not literally. Why am myself annoying me now? Am I going insane or something? I am just annoyed at the two, that's it!
The two girls just looked at me for a second in disgust, like I said something wrong! What did I do? Is a cat fight not suppose to be broken up by the person that is suppose to be 'neutral' or something… I want to be the peace-maker!
"Before we go to the gym, just let me show you my pokemon!" Stacey said being annoyed by keep being distracted by everyone. Not Kyle, he just did not bother to enter these kind of things, he just wanted to like remain, like mute. Only if my Pokedex could be mute like that then my journey would be better than it is right now, it is good now, but I have two rivals right now and three companions, one following the other for her dumb bike to be paid that was not even that cool looking anyway and the other one barely even speaking. One of my rival abandoning me twice already as he does not want to be my friend for some reason, why would he not want to be a friend with me? Isn't that just impossible to imagine. -
"So how do you like my pokemon!"
"He gets like that sometimes, just stand there living, but have no responses, he just goes into his little world. He will get a reality check in a few seconds, don't worry. This is just familiar activity." Kyle announced to Stacey.
"What? - " I said blinking a few times.
She just looked at me as she rolled her eyes. I looked to see her having a yellow pokemon that was just asleep this was her Abra. She had another psychic pokemon that was just flying around, its green-ish- wings flapping around, this being her Natu. She had a sort of a baby like pokemont hat was the devoled form of Electrabuzz, Elekid. And at last she had a little sheep like pokemon, which was her Mareep. Two electric and two psychic total.
I widened my eyes for a second looking at all of them, "Um, like cool!" They were pokemon, yes-normal pokemon. I would battle her sometime! I battled Alison I won! I battled Kyle I won again! Lets make it tic-tac-toe three in a row!
So, any way after a few more minutes of walking we were in front of the gym! Finally, I get to battle for my second badge! I need to have a serious battle! I opened the door, oh wait it was electric! Never mind about that!
"Did we just get lost into a forest again?" I commented as we entered the gym, seeing many Metapods hanging down from the trees. There were many bugs, like many! It was a bug infested forest, I think I should have brought some bug spray. Stupid me, it is a bug gym, I forgot. More like survival of the fittest against poisonous bug gym, "You know this should be the survival-of-the-fittest-against-poisonous-bugs-gym." I said as I began to laugh at loud. They just looked at me in a weird sort of way.
"I don't get it." Alison announced as she just ignored the fact of what I said.
"I don't either, lets just ignore his comment." Stacey said once after Alison ignored me.
"Kyle you get it right?"
"Not at all."
"Never mind, tell me that I should never become a comedian."
"We don't need to remind you of that, you will be rejected by everyone else."
"That's just mean! You mean pokemon trainer person!" I just felt like saying that.
"Ah!" I heard a boy shout, we all turned over to see someone fell out of a tree. Oops… I did it again! "Don't be so loud, you startled me!" The trainer announced.
"You're the gym leader, Buggy?"
"I'm the gym leader and my name is Bugsy! If you want me challenge me then we will have a three on three on three pokemon battle."
"Fine with me!"
"Let's make that a two on two pokemon battle! I forgot my Metapods pokeball up in that tree!" Bugsy said uh what an embarrassing moment.
"Alright! A lost Pokemon up in that tree…?"
"No…I just forgot a pokeball up there."
"Let's just start! Sneasel, I need you!" I shouted as I unclipped the pokeball from my belt and hoisted it into the battlefield for the gym match.
"Two on two, no time-limit." The referee tried to confirm before we started the battle, oh well too late.
The little brown cat-like pokemon appeared. I actually have no idea of what kind of pokemon it is. It just looked cool, that is all that I know!
"Spinerak! Come out!" My opponent, the gym leader shouted, okay the little green spider was released. Now the pokemon battle begins, just concentrate.
"Sneasel! Use a slash attack now!" The pokemon did not do it, it just stood there in the ground as its calw was raised high, just a few inches under its head. As it began to glow a black, a little black orb began to form. Blue spraks surrounding it as it crackled with energy. Wow, that's a cool looking attack, I wonder what its called.
"Shadow Ball, I know you were going to ask." The Pokedex said as it said that in a yawning tone.
"Dodge it!" The little spider shot out a string of web I know string shot! As it began to swing tree to tree, to bring up its speed so my pokemon cannot it it with the Shadow ball.
Sneasel held its arm back with the Shadow Ball as it shot it out towards the Spinerak! Lucky me! The attack smashed into the Spinerak forcing it to smash into a tree from the impact. It gave out a little cry as it already seemed beaten up.
"Now slash it!" The Sneasel jumped up as its claws glowed a white as they shined for a second as they just seemed to get sharper.
"Make a poison sting now!" Spinerak pointed its small teeth at the Sneasel as it opened it, little poison needles being released towards my pokemon. It made a quick swipe with it claws, the needles being shot down making the attack not hurting my pokemon! Yay, it looked like that I was going to win this round, then I will have the lead.
"Do a body slam poison sting!" Same attack? The pokemon jumped towards my pokemon its stingers glowing as they were releasing little needles towards my pokemon, it was distracted as it was slashing them down, which made my pokemon vulnerable. The spider smashed into Sneasel's side, Uh oh! The pokemon fell towards the ground.
Still, being the cat-like-ish- pokemon it is, it landed on its two hind legs.
"Give it another shadow ball!"
"Use a string shot - tackle in counter!"
The spider shot string onto trees as it began to go tree-to-tree making it hard to make it target for such a attack that required a good aim to hit. The pokemon began charging up the shadow ball again, it looking like that same jet-black sphere with the blue sparks around it, making it seem more powerful. Okay, I got myself a plan of how to knock it out. "Wait for it to do the tackle!" I shouted towards my pokemon.
The Spinerak though let go of its last string shot as it came from behind towards my pokemon. Sneasel turned around towards it and threw the Shadow Ball at it. Strike! It hit, the pokemon fell onto the ground squirming to get it self to get back on the ground.
"Very strong Sneasel you got there. Many trainers could not even get past my Spinerak!" Bugsy congratulated me as we both returned our pokemon, now I was going to use my strongest pokemon against these bugs, Charmeleon!
"Even though you seem like a good trainer, I got my strongest pokemon for last, and it is going to take more than just strength to beat it! So Scyther, go, show this trainer what we're made of!" Bugsy said after hesitating with his first comment. The green mantis emerged from it's pokeball. Wow, it seemed pretty strong actually. Its scythes shined an silver as he moved them the sunbeams reflecting off of them.
"You may have a strong looking pokemon, but Charmeleon show them what you'r----" I shouted as another of my pokeballs opened, my Metapod coming out, it must of evolved in its pokeball, "No! No! I did not mean to release that from my pokeball, it still needs time to ev---" I was cut off again, can this pokemon just stop doing that? It glowed as the pokemon began to evolve. The cocoon of it opened as a butterfly came out of it, Butterfree!
"Butterfree, lets show how a bug type fights! Start off with a string shot attack, get it stuck in its own tracks!" Butterfree opened its mouth as strings of the white goo were released towards the flyimg mantis, with a few slashes of its claws, the string were off of him completely and now on the ground, okay that did not really work that well!
"Scyther give it a slash! One hit should knock it out! It is newly evolved!" The Scyther flew towards my pokemon at a immense speed, okay what to do?
My newly evolved pokemon was slashed as it hit another tree from the impact of the attack, its wings did not really seem to help it over there.
"Now confuse it with double team!" The Scyther glowed as duplicates were made, okay they were not new at this. This was harder than fighting Falkner, now which one is the real one?
"Slash it!" All of the Scythers went towards the Butterfree, but which one was the real one? I could not tell; they were clones, "Okay Butterfree confuse it, Supersonic!" I remember Zubats doing this, I think some bug types can. Butterfree was part psychic, which means it can do it. Uh, I don't know what type Supersonic is under actually.
Butterfree gave out a cry as it began to release blue rings at the Scyther, it still being in its double-team but confused, "Now Butterfree psybeam now!" I shouted as the double-team was fading off from the confusion of how to keep it in effect, it was now one Scyther again. Butterfree flapped its little wings rapidly as it opened its mouth, yellow rings being shot towards Scyther.
"Scy!" It cried out as it was flown back a little from the psybeam attack, it seemed hurt, yes I have a feeling that I will win this!
"Scyther, slash it still!" The Scyther flew, but not towards Butterfree, it hit a tree, head first making the pokemon faint from the impact of it and the strength he hit his head. I think it was rendered unconscious! Well, I won! Yes, I won my second badge.
I jumped in happiness as my pokemon won. He returned his Scyther as he gave a sigh, "Good Job! Here is the Hive Badge!" He said as he gave me the Hive Badge, I just smiled in response, "Once my Metapod evolve and we see each other again, we will have another battle." He said as determination was basically writeen on his face. I will still beat him then.
We began to walk out of the gym as I returned Butterfree, "He may have beaten a gym leader now you have to see what Nurse Joy is going to do to us." Kyle announced.
"I'm so glad we don't need to go to Nurse Joy now, since we broke all of the bikes that they had at the Pokemon Center. I am just not in the mood to be scolded at." Kyle said as we saw the gym only a few yards away. Yes, now I am going to get my second badge on my journey. Man, this was much longer than I thought it would be. In the Gameboy Version is only takes about two hours to get there! In actual life on the journey, it takes like seven weeks!

"Scy!" It cried out as it was flown back a little from the psybeam attack, it seemed hurt, yes I have a feeling that I will win this!
