The kids once again came in and this time found Chi sitting on the beach with Gyarados relaxing in the water behind him. "Today, I'm going to teach you guys how trust of and care for your Pokemon can cause them to surpass their original strengths." This was replied with various groans. "...Or I could tell you the next part of the story..."
Cerulean City was built as a big park, with a mall reaching to the entrance of the gym. I walked easily to the gym, until a kiosk distracted me. There, was a man claiming to have one of the strongest Pokemon in existence. Obviously, I'm not one to ignore an advantage. "So, what's this Pokemon?" I poked.
"It is the king of carp, Magikarp! It's the strongest Pokemon! Only 500 P!"
"Hmmm..." I thought, then placed 500 P on the table, "Something sounds wrong, but I'll take my chances."
After that purchase, I went in hunt for a restaurant. Over a nice lunch, Thor and Odin took turns beating the spit out of me. Apparently, Magikarp was not as powerful as I took it for. 'Great,' I thought, 'Now I need medical supplies...' After yet ANOTHER stop, we finally made our way to the gym. There was a constant flow of Chansey running in and out. Now this wasn't an unusual sight for me, Surge was a hard opponent. What shocked me was that it was the gym's Pokemon. The next thing was a girl about eighteen wearing a kimono walking out. She turned back. "I'll be nice and let you choose the caterer this time." This girl was Erika, the gym leader directly above Lt. Surge. She sauntered past me as another girl with blond hair and a Pikachu print kimono. She said...
"Hey! You're Chi Taki, aren't you?" A girl with blond hair and a green dress inquired. "It's been a long time since I've seen you."
"That girl was Iris Blitz. She was an electric trainer with an unhealthy attraction to Pikachu."
"Now," She stood huffed up at Taki, "You're not one to say a facination with Pikachu is unhealthy." She smiled at this.
"Well, this girl saw Thor and ignored me in favor of my pet..."
"Aww... Aren't you a cute little Pikachu? Yes you are!" She glomped, and then started petting Thor.
"His name is Thor, and you should know better than to huggle strange Pokemon, Iris..." She looked up and we smiled at eachother. "It's nice to see you again, Iris."
"It's great seeing you, Chi. I'm sorry, but I need to leave. Maybe we'll cross paths again..."
I walked into the gym to find leaves and grass everywhere. The sensational sisters were just staring at the destruction. "Excuse me," I requested, "I wish to have a gym battle. Are you open?"
The eldest one (but don't tell her I referred as such) apologized, "I'm sorry, but we're out for a while. We've been having some troubles lately. All we have is Seel." The Pokemon 'oared' "If you want you can just have the cascade badge." This seemed like an off deal to me.
"I'd prefer that I would do something for you instead."
"Actually, you can start..." She smiled, "...With cleaning up the gym if you insist..." Here I am, protagonist, warrior, and doormat. So I jumped into the job and started ripping the weeds from the walls. I was almost done when a pair of trainers with white uniforms with red 'R's on them. They stood in a dramatic pose as weird music blared.
"Prepare for trouble!" The girl announced.
"And make it double!" The guy called.
"To save the world from devastation!"
"To unite all people within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jesse!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
A feline dropped down, "Meowth! That's right!"
Thor and Odin appeared and started to actively threaten the Meowth. "You broke the masquerade! Where have you been talking?!" Thor yelled in a very militaristic voice.
"...Everywhere?" He could just reply.
"Everywhere..." Odin said gruffly. "The plan was to make them think we're just cute little creatures that aren't smart enough to actually articulate our thoughts. We have them train us, until part two."
"World domination." Thor finished. Every human in the gym had their jaws drop to the floor.
After that time, my Magikarp spoke up. "Umm, guys... I'd hate to tell you... but I'm feeling a bit weird." He said in a off-kilter voice. He started glowing as he spoke.
"Crap..." Thor and Odin jumped out of the way as Magikarp grew twenty-two feet to Gyarados.
"Now... I trust you'll leave before I have to defeat you." His voice now was a mix of harsh and evil-incarnate. "So, you aren't willing to comply? Then I have no choice." Gyarados whipped the cleaned water from the pool and flushed the pair out of the gym. Odin and Thor both grabbed and bum rushed the Meowth.
"Now, we have one last thing to do." Thor pulled a black pen. "Chi, could you use this?" I looked about it, not too difficult. Just like something out of MIB... Point, click, and done.
"..." The gym leaders blinked for a while. "Thanks for your work, here, you deserve it." They handed me the Cascade badge and I went on my merry way.
As night fell, we were past the Cerulean limits and neared Saffron. We set up for the night and I received a stern talking to.
"Now," Thor paced, "we understand that there's no way that we can force you into erasing your own memory, so we'll just have to threaten you to keep from talking."
"So, you can't tell anyone." Odin commanded.
"Well, I guess you can tell Alice..."
"And that Petra Stone girl seems safe..." Odin met a pair of inquisitive looks. "Oh, I met her on Mt. Moon."
"And Iris is fine..."
"Children are safe too, I guess..." Thor stood as impressively as possible for a Pikachu. "But you need to make them promise not to tell."
Oh, that's right... Don't tell anybody about Pokemon talking. Well, long story short, we skirted around Saffron and made our way to Celadon.
"And tomorrow, I'll tell you about that." Taki smiled, "If I'm here then."
"If you're not Kentucky Fried by then," Iris smirked as the kids left. "First a gym and caterer, now a daycare? You're just dying for attention, aren't you?"
"You didn't have to come back. I'm sure Erika would let you kick around." Taki laughed.
Iris gave a light sigh. "Let's just make sure that we can juggle all this, 'kay?"
