Chapter Four: Pasch's Defeat! Journey to Narrul!

(A/N: Sorry it's been such a long time since the last chapter! School and junk has been invading my life. Meh.)

'My life was so great,' Pasch commented to himself. 'Where did I go wrong?'

Pasch, half-conscious, being dragged to Narrul...

As Pasch looked at the sunset, he thought about the day he, Charmander, and Slugma all went to Noics Spring to watch the marvelous sunset...

"Slugma... Charmander... look at the sunset... it's beautiful..."

Pasch looked back at his friends. They were fighting over who would get to learn Flamethrower first. "Slugma's learn it first!" Slugma cried. "No, Charmanders do!" came Charmander's reply.

Pash sighed. 'That's Charmander and Slugma for ya. Always fighting over the craziest things.'

Repeating himself, Pash cried out, "Slugma! Charmander! The sunset! Take a look!"

The two looked at the sunset.

"Pfft, it aint that great," commented Charmander.

"But it is!" Pasch tried to reason with Charmander. "It is..."

Slugma was silent. He opened his mouth for a split second, but Charmander glared at him and he didn't say a thing.

"You two are fricken ridiculous," commented Pasch. "Look at the sunset! It represents so many wonderful things! Symbolism! The rise and fall! The great light! Don't you see?"

"You're a load of crap," commented Charmander and ran off, muttering, "What a girl..."

Pasch lay down and began to cry. "I'm not a girl... I wish Charmander would shut up..."

Slugma came over to Pasch to comfort him. "Aw, don't worry about it Pasch. Charmander doesn't mean anything he says. He's just a bit slow. You... you're smart! I mean, the way you describe the sunset... all that symbolism... Pasch, don't worry about Charmander."

Pasch glared at Slugma. "Why would I worry, or even PITY, someone like Charmander?!"

"Pasch..."

"NO, Slugma. I'm mad at Charmander. I don't care if I see him again."

"Pasch, you know that's not true..."

"It is! I can't even count the number of lies he's told me!"

"Pasch, Charmander's just a bit mad because his father died recently..."

"WHAT?!" Pasch looked at Slugma, wide-eyed.

Pasch looked at the Treecko dragging him. He looked back at Charmander, unconscious. 'Why did I ever forgive you?' he thought.
