"Well, we're back at the forest, again." Josiah sighed, "Do we REALLY have to go through this again? With the whole, Vanessa's afraid of bugs thing?" ,Josiah then got a knuckle sandwich in his mouth.
"Actually, we don't," Kris replied.
"Kris, do you need to go back to the Wacky Shack?" Brooke asked.
"No! Okay, maybe, but that's not the point, we can just fast forward with this magic remote thingy that I... just randomly found on the ground." Kris replied.
"Boy, I bet the readers wished they had one of those in that three month no-update period!" Josiah answered (sorry about that everyone)
"Okay Kris, let it rip!" Vanessa encouraged
Squeaky fast forward noises
Switches to a slow-motion shot of Vanessa hitting Kris in the back of the head with a frying pan for making a badly timed blonde joke.
Fast Forwarding again
Stops again to show Josiah losing to his Totodile, Flood, at a game of Tic-Tac-Toe, and being a sore loser.
Fast Forwarding again
Stops at the Pewter City Pokemon Center.
"Whatcha suppose this place is?" Kris asked
"Might as well check it out," Vanessa replied
"Hello, how may I help you?"
A woman who was sitting at a receptionist desk explained explained everything about the Pokemon gym battle challenge.
"Sounds cool, okay, let's do it." Josiah said, "Sign us up."
"Alright then, we have an opening for four single battles in two days, or two double battles at 3 o' clock today."
"I guess the Double battles sound good." Brooke answered the receptionist
The four left the gym, and went out to explore the humble, Pewter City. Eventually they came upon the Pewter Museum of Science, a large stone building with marble pillars.
"Might as well check out this place," Brooke said.
"Why? It's a museum?" Vanessa and Kris answered, "It's like what a library wants to be when it grows up!"
"Well, if we're traveling, we might as well see the sights and stuff." Brooke replied
"Good point, I'm in" Josiah agreed
"Forget that, I wanna go explore the town, maybe find a cute boy or six," Vanessa answered.
"Same with me... except for that cute boys part," Kris followed.
"Whatever, just don't be late for our gym battles, okay?" Brooke answered.
"Get off my back woman!" Kris muddered under his breath as the two of them departed.
"So, whada wanna do now?" Kris asked Vanessa
"I donno, I was just got caught up in the moment."
"Yah, me too."
About 2 and a half hours later, and 15 shopping bags full of makeup, purses, clothes, and a full set of Porcelain Poke dolls, along with other things. Vanessa and Kris were on their way back to the gym.
"Vanessa, did you at least get anything for me?
"Of course Kris! I got you these ultra cute shoes!" Vanessa said while searching through the shopping bags.
"Umm Vanessa, these are pink high-heels."
"Yah huh!" Vanessa said smiling and nodding.
"As in, from the woman's shoe store."
"I don't see the problem"
"As in, these are for a girl... In fact, A girl with your exact shoe size."
"Oops, and I already shredded the receipts."
"Well, let's just get back to the gym already."
"Fine."
"Hey baby, you wana have a little fun?"
Two people on motorcycles rode up to Vanessa and started hitting on her.
"Back off you 'tard, she's with me... sorta," Kris said.
"Oh really, well then we'll have to fix that," The thugs said, "You two and us, double battle, winner gets the fine lady."
"Deal," Kris said.
"Is anyone even going to ask me about this?" Vanessa said defensively
"Oh yeah, you in?" Kris asked
"Definately, I'm not letting these clowns walk over us!" Vanessa yelled, "Come on out Brownie!"
"Let's go Webster!" Kris yelled
The bikers each threw a Pokeball, and out came a small monkey Pokemon and a purple dinosaur with a giant horn on his head (Woah, I never realized that Nidoran is discribed just like Barney)
Nidoran- The Poison Point Pokemon- It's large ears are always kept upright. If it senses danger, it will attack with a poisonous sting
Mankey- The Pig Monkey Pokemon- An agile Pokemon that lives in trees. It angers easily and will not hesitate to attack anything.
"Mankey! Use Low kick on that Sentret!" Thug number one said
"Brownie! Jump and use bite!"
The rabid squirrel jumped and sunk its teeth into the monkey, and it went into a frenzy of rage, thrashing around with anger.
"Nidoran! Use double kick on Spinarak!"
"Webster! Use a string shot attack at the Nidoran!"
Spinarak turned around and blasted Nidoran with a blast of webbing, covering Nidoran's eyes from being able to see its target. Nidoran, not being able to see, started to run around in circles panicking. Eventually, the panicking Nidoran ran collided into the thrashing Mankey, knocking them both unconcious.
"Ummmmm, I think we just won..." Vanessa said
"Wow, I think you're right... For once," Kris replied
"Watch it."
"Great, now we're late for the gym battle, way to go."
"Shut it Kris. If we run full speed, we can make it in time."
Back at the Museum, Josiah was causing more than the usual limit of mayhem in the low gravity moon exhibit.
"That's one small step for Josiah..."
"And one giant line for admission, can you hurry up please?" An angry tourist yelled.
"Come on Spaceman Spiff, it's time to go," Brooke said as she draged Josiah out of the museum by his ear."
Spaceman Spiff is a joke From the Calvin and Hobbes series, I didn't make it up
