We reached the large city less than ten minutes later, and landed outside
the pokémon centre. We both had all our pokémon healed, and then we walked
back toward the gym. On the way we saw the game corner. Cael said he wanted
to see if there were any good pokémon there as prizes - I wondered why he
would want to spend half of his life sitting in front of a slot machine to
win the grand prize. Still, he went into the prize room, and found out that
there was a pokémon called Porygon2 - and it was 'only' a million coins. I
wondered how long it would take to get that many - probably a year or two.
We went into the game room, and Cael walked up to the coin-purchasing
place. He put a HUGE wad of notes on the counter and asked for 1 million
coins. The wad of notes was put in a safe-type thing, and a giant box of
counters was given to Cael. I thought they'd crush him. We walked back into
the prize department, and gave the coins to one of the ladies. She handed
him a red-and-white pokéball. He took it, without the look of disgust I
thought he would have, given a 'cheap' pokéball like that. He simply
released the pokémon - I looked on in awe, it was all shiny, and looked
more than worth what Cael payed for it, and returned it into one of his
gold-and-silver balls.
"I'll call you Ocra," He said to the new pokéball, dropping the original one into a rubbish bin - I assumed someone would probably see it and take it for themselves.
We entered the gym again, and Erika released her Gloom without any formalities. Cael released Haaj.
"Flamethrower!" He said, confidently, and, before Gloom could counter attack, the small pokémon was toasted. He grinned. Come to think of it, I was grinning too. We slapped each other high fives, and left the gym. Cael was all smiles
"Did you see how I beat her? Haaj and I are unstoppable!"
I rolled my eyes, "Cael, you realise that you didn't train it?"
"Well, I will be training it from now on, won't I?" "True," I mumbled, tired from the long day of travelling. We reached the pokémon centre, and he shouted me to dinner - sushi, my favourite food, of course. Then it was bedtime. We were in the same room again, but I didn't mind, we were friends, now. There were two bunk beds in this room - it was fairly big. That meant we each got a top bunk! Cael didn't come in till after I was asleep, though. How he could get up so early and go to sleep so late was beyond me.
