Chapter 3: He's Stronger!

"G-Gary?!" Sabrina yelled in shock as she looked at who had stepped in front of her. Gary smirked and only remained calmed and cool as he spoke,

"Who were you expecting, my gramps?!" he told her looking at her from the corner of his eyes. She growled and spat out,

"I don't need you to protect me! Your grandfather would actually do a whole lot better than YOU ever could if I had to be honest!" Gary growled. He was already annoyed with her. He looked around at the surroundings: Charizard and Magmar were still fighting, each sending out powerful fire attacks that could burn down boulders, and Jason was standing across from Gary trying not to explode from all the interruptions that kept occurring. There were no other Pokemon in sight and the nearest ones were watching from some feet away.

"Listen here you little squirt," Jason began to say as Gary's eyes moved back to look at Jason then he continued, "I don't know why you're here but if you don't want to get hurt, then I strongly suggest you leave now." Gary scoffed.

"Yeah! I'm gonna leave a mysterious stranger with a young girl and two Pokemon in danger of killing each other! That sounds like the path I should take." He said sarcastically, making Sabrina blink and Jason snarling angrily.

"Very well then, if you won't leave…then we'll settle this on a Pokemon battle!!" Jason said pulling out a Darkball. Gary smirked and pulled out a Pokeball.

"If you insist, but I must warn you I'm an expert Pokemon Trainer, especially on the Water type." Gary said bragging. Sabrina sighed and sweat dropped.

I'm domed if all he does is brag during the battle… she thought. Then she quickly blinked and yelled at Gary, "Hey wait a second!! I can handle this on my own!! I don't need you and your bragging nature! Just go away and leave me alone!" Gary sighed and rolled his eyes and ignored her and threw his Pokeball, releasing a dancing and happy Exeggutor. Sabrina blinked. An Exeggutor? She thought surprised. Jason busted out laughing which made Gary even more annoyed and angry.

"An Exeggutor?! You've got to be kidding me! Machamp, get out here and cut that thing in half!!" he yelled throwing the Darkball and releasing a very well trained Machamp. It was about twice the size of Gary's Exeggutor!! Sabrina's eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hands as she gasped out,

"H-His Machamp is huge!!" Gary groaned.

"Thank you for telling me that misses obvious." He said thinking out the situation. Sabrina growled and tried everything in her power not to strangle him.

Ooooh he drives me crazy!! She thought crossing her arms. Jason smirked.

"Let's get this started already! I want to leave quickly with my girl." He said looking at Sabrina. Both hers and Gary's eyes widened as they heard the last part of what Jason said. Gary looked back at Sabrina with a disgusted look. She returned the look and stuck her tongue out.

"Ew!! That is soooooo gross!! I am SO not your girl!! I'm NOBODY'S girl!!" she yelled.

"Aw, that hurts me, but don't worry. As soon as I defeat this gay boy, you and I can romance together." He said seductively but giving her a wink. She turned to the side, holding her stomach while gagging and Gary faced Jason again and his eyebrow quirked.

"'Gay' you say? Well let me show you what this 'gay boy' can do!" Gary said pointing to Machamp. "Go Exeggutor, use Hypnosis!!" Exeggutor stopped dancing and released Hypnosis. Jason smirked.

"Ok boy you want to play? Fine, learn the hard way! Machamp Karate Chop!!" he said as Machamp ran straight forward, putting one arm in front of another, having two pairs of crossed arms making a double attack! Gary gasped as Machamp hit Exeggutor dead on and was sent flying back.

"Exeggutor!!" Gary yelled as Exeggutor slowly stumbled back up panting already. Gary clenched his fists and growled. How the hell?! He thought. Sabrina was thinking the exact same thing as she stared in disbelief.

Machamp ran straight through the Hypnosis attack with his eyes on Exeggutor the whole time!! His Pokemon must be trained well if he was able to get through Gary's Hypnosis… Sabrina thought. Jason laughed.

"You see?! I am the ultimate trainer!! I get whatever I want when I want it and nobody can stop me! Quit protecting the girl and just hand her over. Either way I'm going to get her and she'll become mine." He said with a smile. Sabrina looked at Gary who had a smile on his face.

"You think I'm protecting her? Pfft. No way! I'm only showing her the true power of a great Pokemon Trainer!" he said giving Sabrina a smug look. She blushed and growled as her eye twitched.

"Why you little…" she muttered out through gritted teeth.

"Ok now, I've had enough of your stupid comments! I'm ending this now!! Machamp Submission!!" Jason yelled.

"Dodge it!!" Gary yelled but Machamp had already got a firm hold of Exeggutor and was now rolling on the ground with Exeggutor. Then Machamp, still spinning, threw Exeggutor and he hit a tree hard and fell to the ground dizzy eyed. Gary and Sabrina gasped as Jason simply smirked and returned Machamp.

"I believe that I have won the bet. Now my dear Sabrina, come to me and we'll be together at last!!" he said walking towards her. She screamed and hid behind Gary who jumped and froze and stared at her with wide eyes and a slight blush. Jason stopped and blinked.

"No!! I don't want to!!" she said. Gary growled and walked away from her and to his hurt Exeggutor. Sabrina blinked as she was left alone. Jason smiled and quickly walked to Sabrina and pulled at her arm,

"Come now my dear, we must go!" he said pulling her but he was quickly stopped as she pulled back. Despite him being about twice her size, she was quite strong.

"No no!! I don't wanna!!" she yelled. Jason growled.

"You're coming with me!!" he yelled back. She shook her head and pulled back again. He growled and they began a tugging war. Gary was ignoring them and was looking at his Exeggutor. Gary sighed.

"Nurse Joy will have to heal you…don't worry…just hang in there." He said returning Exeggutor. He then turned to Sabrina and Jason and sweat dropped. This guy is an idiot…all he had to do was simply grab her and run. He's twice her size…how pathetic. And what's with him saying that she's HIS? It's pitiful…love is pointless. He thought bitterly. Sabrina continued to pull with all her strength.

"No!! Stop it!! Charizard help!!" she yelled. Charizard was being pinned to the ground by Magmar but his eyes quickly shot open as he heard Sabrina's pleas; he had enough! The flame on his tail burst into an even bigger flame and started to glow a bluish whitish color. He easily pushed Magmar off him and swung his tail so Magmar went flying at Jason who let go of Sabrina and was also sent flying to a tree. Charizard roared angrily and flew in front of Sabrina protectively. Sabrina's eyes shimmered as she hugged Charizard. Gary blinked.

He reacted so quickly…why did he just now attack with that much ferocity? Gary thought a bit shocked. Jason growled and coughed as he pushed the fainted Magmar off him. He returned him but pulled out another Pokeball,

"Heed my warning! You haven't heard the last of me!! That girl will be mine!!" Jason spat out as he released his Noctowl who immediately picked him up and carried him off. Charizard, Sabrina, and Gary all watched him leave and Gary scoffed.

"What an idiot!" he said sticking his hands in his pockets and closing his eyes. Charizard calmed down and his flame returned to normal and he looked at Sabrina who was clinging to him.

"Oh Charizard…thank you so much. I don't know what I'd do without you!" she said almost crying. Charizard growled soothingly. Gary opened an eye and looked at them.

How pathetic… he simply thought but on the inside, he felt somewhat hurt; he instead wished that he had been the one who sent Jason packing. He shook away the feeling and walked off. Sabrina looked at him.

"Wh-Where are you going?" she asked.

"I'm going back home…" he paused then said before walking out, "And for your safety, you should too." Sabrina blinked but Charizard lifted her onto his back and flew off gently with a nod. Sabrina wrapped her arms around his neck and sighed softly with her eyelids shut halfway.

I wonder why this happened…. Why was it me? She started to think but shook it off as drowsiness began to take over. The sun was starting to set; the incident had taken longer than anyone would have liked. Charizard flew home safely and smoothly noticing Gary was flying, not too far from them, on his Pidgeot as well. When they reached Pallet Town, Charizard gently took Sabrina into his arms and walked into her house and into her room where he laid her down gently on the bed; she was already asleep. Charizard couldn't help but smile as he lied down in his comfy bed next to hers. He breathed out deeply before shutting his eyes and falling asleep. He now needed to be more cautious of where Sabrina went. Gary walked upstairs to his room and kicked off his boots before plopping onto his soft bed. He put his arms behind his head and stared up at the ceiling. He thought for awhile before shaking his head softly and rolling over onto his side. His eyes widened a bit as he looked at the green and yellow pendant that had fallen from inside his shirt and onto the bed. He picked it up gently in his hands and rubbed his thumbs over it. He sighed and put it back under his shirt where it stayed hidden. A small smile spread across his face as he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
