Year of the Ships- Part 4
A/N- Yeah, I'm a bit late. Rant coming on- My internet has been spotty at best, due to some work they're doing outside my house. Darn you, BHN! WHY U MAKE MY INTERNET SPOTTY? Heh, yeah, rant over. Anyway, this is a pretty short one, but I think it's sweet.
Enjoy!

"Alright, Venusaur, let's do this!"
"Blastoise, let's go!"
The two opponents faced off from opposite sides of the dirt battle field, their Pokemon mimicking their faces.
The Blastoise's trainer, a young man named Gary, smirked through his brown spiky hair. He brushed off his purple shirt absentmindedly, regarding the battle as one of no interest to him. "OK, Blastoise, let's finish this early. Hydro Pump!" He yelled to his starter.
Blastoise growled, and unleashed a watery gale out of his back cannons. Leaf smirked, pushing some auburn hair out of her face.
"Alright, Venusaur, dodge and use Solar Beam!" She yelled. Gary straight out laughed this time, an arrogant, annoying laugh.
"Hmph. You do know how long Solar Beam takes to-" He was cut off by the blast of solar energy hitting Blastoise dead on, knocking the Pokemon over. He stood up, though shakily, and glared at the Venusaur. Gary picked his jaw up from the floor. "-Load." He finished, awestruck.
It was Leaf's turn to smirk now. "Alright, Venusaur, now use Leaf Tornado!" She yelled. Gary's eyes widened; this battle had his full attention now.
"Use Hydro Pump!" He yelled in a last ditch attempt to win. The two attacks collided in the middle, sparking a huge explosion of leaves and water, and bounced harmlessly off the two Pokemon and their trainers. The girl across from him just smirked.
"Use Razor Leaf empowered by Vine Whip!" She yelled. Venusaur jumped away from Blastoise, who was now charging at her, and shot out a flurry of sharp leaves. A quick Vine Whip sent them spinning, and they hit before Gary could even look shocked.
Blastoise gave a groan, and fell onto the ground, sending a bunch of dirt flying. Gary returned him, a look of complete and utter shock plastered on his face.
Leaf smirked, and returned Venusaur. "'A little girl can't beat me'? Seems like that one was a lie. See ya." Leaf said, walking out of the battlefield with a new spring in her step.
Gary just stood there, dumbfounded. He snapped out of his stupor, and ran after the brunette's retreating figure. "Leaf! Wait up!" He yelled.
Leaf stopped, and whirled around. "Yes, Gary?" She asked, annoyed. Gary pulled a bunch of yellow bills out of his pocket, and began counting out a portion of them.
"When a trainer wins a battle, the other trainer owes them money." Gary said. "Simple rules, really, if you paid attention in trainer's school." He said arrogantly, handing over a couple hundred bills.
Now it was Leaf's turn to look shocked. "You paid attention to the trainer's courtesy course?" She asked, incredulous. Gary looked affronted.
"Is it that hard to believe that I'm a nice guy underneath all this awesome exterior?" He asked. Leaf shrugged.
"Now that I look at you, you aren't too bad. Heck, you're actually pretty good looking." She said. Gary smirked.
"Is it that obvious?"
"Hmm... How about I bring you to that new cafe down the street? Then maybe I could actually teach you some modesty?" She asked jokingly. Gary, for once, looked serious.
"I'd love that, Leaf." He said. When he noticed Leaf's stare, he put back on his arrogant mask. "But I doubt you could make me modest." He said arrogantly. Leaf sighed.
"I doubt it too." She said, and she led him out of the forest.
And thus began the first date of Leaf and Gary, future boyfriend and girlfriend.

A/N- Yeah, it was shorter than the last few. I was pressed for time, so I opted for the battle-and-give-money-and-then-go-to-lunch-with-each-other plot line. It was actually pretty fun to write. I just love writing arrogant people(Drew, Gary, and so on...), and then making other characters react to them.
Also, does anyone know the ship name for Jessie and Butch, or James and Cassidy. I want to do those soon. I think that they're something like NeoRocketShipping. Anyway, thanks for reading! Remember to read and review!
