"Rematch In Cerulean"

William and I continued on in silence in the direction of the gym.

"Hey Will, why didn't you come into the gym with me during my last battle?" I asked.

"Well, number one, I thought you should win the battle on your own. And number two, I dated Lily for three months and then we broke up on unfriendly terms." He stated.

"Oh." Was all I cold say.

Now we were in front of the gym again and I turned toward him, "Will you come in with me this time, I sure could use the support." I said trying to give my best sad puppy dog face.

"Fine, if it means that much to you." He said with a chuckle.

We walked into the gym side by side and were met by Lily.

"You again, didn't you learn your lesson during our last batt-." She stopped mid sentence when she noticed William by my side boasting a very smug look. "Oh, I see, you couldn't get a girl your age so now you're dating toddlers." She said arrogantly.

"Excuse You! Were do you get off calling me a toddler, and he's NOT my BOYFRIEND!" I said slowly enunciating the last three words. "For your information I came back to win a badge, so stop with the chatting and lets this show on the rode!" 'You stuck up brat.' I added silently.

"Fine then, we'll have a two on two battle with no time limit. Go Squirtle!" She said tossing the Pokeball into the air, out of which the small, blue, turtle Pokemon came out of.

"In that case I'll use my Bulbasa-.." "Wait Megan stop!" William ordered before I could throw Squirtle's Pokeball.

"What's wrong Will?" I asked.

"Nothing, but use this." He said tossing me a pokeball.

"Hey, that's not fair! She can't use your Pokemon in a gym battle!" Lily complained.

"Actually she can, the Pokemon League has no rule that says you can't use another Pokemon trainer's Pokemon in a gym battle." William stated bluntly.

"Thanks, I choose you, who ever you are!" I said tossing the ball into the air.

Out came his Gloom in a flash of red color.

"Okay Gloom use your sleep powder attack!" Before Gloom used the attack he looked back at William quizzically, William only nodded. Just then gloom relaxed its petals and began to shake a little while it released a sparkly blue powder. Lily's Squirtle fell asleep on the spot and was just as quickly returned to its Pokeball.

"Go Starmie!" She yelled, throwing the Pokeball into the air. "Okay Starmie, knock Gloom into the water with your spinning tackle attack." Lily's idea worked and Gloom was treading water, but was getting tired.

"Hurry Gloom, use your sludge to stop Starmie!" I yelled. My plan worked and Lily's Starmie couldn't move.

"Starmie Return! I really don't think you deserve this badge, but you did win." She said handing me the badge.

"Yes, I got another badge! Thanks again for letting me use your Gloom!" I said gratefully, while handing him the Pokeball.

"You did really great." He said as we left the gym along with a mad gym leader.
