Silawen I don't get it, what the hell? Why the fuck do you think this is a troll?

Rainydaydragonair Just tell me it sucks. Beating around the bush is EVIL!

God… no one likes my stories. (Hangs herself as Laurel and Lance watch)

Violet City was… awesome. I saw Falkner, though he didn't know I was going to challenge him, though. He's a flirt, honestly. His whole mystery thing didn't get to me though. Honestly, I don't like guys…

I was slurping a milkshake when I bumped into a girl about my age. She had cotton candy pink hair pulled into an elegant twist, a maroon pleated skirt, a dark blue dress shirt, though it was buttoned, and a maroon tie, which hung loosely from her neck. She looked up shyly with her huge doe eyes, defined by well-placed eyeliner and mascara.

"Excuse me, miss, but do you know how to get to the gym?" I nodded.

"Just come with me, I'm going there right now."

"Thank you," she said gratefully. "My name's Cass by the way." We shook hands. I smiled at her.

"I'm Laurel. So, are your there to challenge Falkner?" I asked. She shook her head energetically, all meekness forgotten. She raised her fist in the air and her eyes shone with determination.

"Nope, I'm- GONNA GET FALKNER'S SECRET TO RAISING BIRD POKEMON!" She yelled eagerly, and then blushed. "I'm a pokemon breeder, at least, I want to be."

"That's awesome." I said warmly, even if I was a little creeped out. She looked me up and down, making goose bumps ride down my arms.

"Trainer." She said simply. "Your whole look gives me that vibe." I stared at her, and she started to blush. "Sorry. I get like that sometimes." Okay… she's kind of weird, but who isn't? I thought, sweat dropping. I smiled at her, took her arm, and started running toward the gym.

"Come on! I'll race you to the gym!"

Falkner looked up when the gym doors swung open. Two gorgeous women stood in the doorway, laughing. One with long dark blue hair began jumping up screaming; "I WON!"

"You wouldn't have won if I hadn't cramped up halfway." The girl with pink hair complained. The first won scoffed at her.

"Bah! You lie!" She said, laughing.

"May I help you ladies?" Falkner offered, feeling kind of left out. The pink-haired woman looked up with stars in her eyes, while the blue-haired woman's eyes grew cool.

"There isn't a man alive that can help me." She said, smiling cynically. So… she's a lesbian? That's a loss for me, but maybe the pink-haired- His thoughts were interrupted when the pink-haired chick grabbed him by the collar violently and began screaming while shaking him.

"WHAT IS YOUR SECRET!"

I sweat-dropped as Cass began to shake the gym leader, who was slipping out of consciousness.

"Cass, he's now qualified to sue you for assault and battery." I informed her. She jumped backwards.

"Oops." She said sadly. I sighed, catching one of my pokeballs between two of my fingers.

"Tanoshii, help us out." I said idly.

"WORTORTLE!" He shouted manically. WHERE'S THE FIGHT? He started to yell, flames in his eyes.

"WATERGUN the unconscious dude!" I shouted, just to go along with him. Falkner spluttered as the strong blast of water made him skid six feet away. He looked up groggily.

"What was that all about?" He asked vaguely. He winced. "My head hurts, and I'm wet." He whined.

"I dunno, I was kind of expecting someone more… dignified." Cass offered helpfully. I shrugged.

"Let's get this over you Goth-wannabe pretty boy." I said calmly. I have to admit right now that my eyes glazed over during the battle. I remember three pokemon. Hoothoot, (The shame, a gym leader with an unevolved pokemon,) A pidgeot, which Tori beat senseless, and something else. I wasn't really paying attention. Loser. He sucked. Damn it, I thought this would be hard.

The battle had gone by so quickly and so easily, I was surprised to find Tori was tired, but I got it. She fought all three of those wimpy birdies. I took her to the pokemon center to get some rest after watching Cass interrogate Falkner for every detail of his training and his daily life with his pokemon.

"That guy was such a pussy." Cass said wistfully as we walked to the Pokemon center. "I mean, compared to you. You didn't even switch pokemon, at your Pidgeot dodged almost every attack." She hung her head as I grimaced.

"Please don't use that word. It's incredibly crude." I said. She laughed.

"A chaste girl traveling unescorted? Weird." She said. I stuck my tongue out.

"A chaste girl is completely pure and innocent, which I am SO not. Besides, chaste is such a complex word sometimes. I mean, I learned it in second grade, which means most girls learn it in eighth and most guys learn it in college." I said innocently as she laughed at me.

"Burn for both us and then men." She replied, mock hurt while I laughed at her. She grinned and bounced up and down. "So, where are you off to next?" She asked happily. I shrugged.

"Probably Azalea. Bugs, right?" Cass nodded. I grinned.

"I'll use my Wartortle, Tanoshii, just because he needs the exercise and if I have to, my Growlithe, Torch. " Cass made puppy dog eyes at me.

"Can I come with? Even if your not, I'm pure, innocent, chaste, whatever word you want to use. I need an escort." She whimpered, then grinned. "Besides, traveling alone is SO boring!" I laughed and nodded.

"Why not?" I said happily. BIG MISTAKE. Cass is a great person, except that she is evil in one way. She made me go shopping. I mean, seriously? She walked out of the stall proudly in a pink sundress, twirling to let the skirt fan out around her elegantly.

"What do you think?" She asked. I slammed my head repeatedly into the wall, while she changed into a dark blue kimono. I squeaked in alarm as I was shoved in a leaf green kimono with darker green leaves stitched onto it.

"Yes. You should get this." She said before putting it into the yes pile.

"What the hell are you doing?" I roared as I was shoved into uber dark black cargo pants and a black silk tang top with a red dragon imprinted on it. I sweat dropped.

"Cass, there are little chains attached to my pants." I commented carefully. She glared at me.

"I know. It works for you." She said after shoving short red pleated skirt into my arms. "Try this on." She said in a clipped manner. I walked out miserably in the skirt that could barely cover my butt.

"I feel like a skank." I said mournfully. She clapped her hands in delight.

"This skirt works." I tuned out everything she said, trying on boots and stilettos and glittery pumps and platforms. Which means I spent almost all my money on clothes, and my backpack was heavier then before. There was a major upside to all of this, though. She had a Rapidash, which we rode to Azalea, making it there at only eleven thirty at night.

"You've got a big battle tomorrow morning, right?" Cass said. I nodded groggily as I fell off Rapidash.

"Oomph, that's going to hurt in the morning." I commented to myself in a sing-song voice as I just walked into the pokemon center and opened doors till I found an empty room. Cass followed me, amused. She's a night person, I can tell, but I can't seem to find any signs of insomnia. She started singing horribly off key as she settled into bed, causing me to throw a pillow at her.

"Ow! That hurt Laurel!" She pouted. I grunted.

"SHUT UP DAMN IT!" I said fiercely a floated off to a land where someone kept poking my side and giggled about how I was such a heavy sleeper.

A/N: Did this suck? If it did, I am SO sorry. Writer's block, IT BURNS! AH! I got grounded for two weeks, what the hell? I've yet to figure out why, so sorry. I know, it's short, but aren't all second chapters? Right? RIGHT?

Laurel: (Sweat-drops) Shit, the creator's insane.

Cass: LAUREL! THERE YOU ARE! PUT ON THIS KIMONO DAMN IT!
