"Not so fast!" Misty said. " A true friend wouldn't walk away from someone who needs their help! You may look beautiful, but you remind me of an old saying about how beauty is only skin deep."
Giselle sighed and smiled, not bothering to turn around to face Misty.
"Heh. Jealousy's not pretty either, is it?"
Ash was not sure what to do.
"I better do something?" He asked Brock.
"Wise Pokemon trainers never get involved in catfight" Brock whispered into Ash's ear.
"Huh?'" Ash was shocked.
Giselle decided to prove her point and challenge Misty to a Pokemon battle.
"Against your Water Pokemon, I'll choose Graveler!" Giselle felt confident in her skills. She was taking a risk, sure - after all, Misty WAS supposed to be a GYM leader but Giselle was already caught up in the heat of the moment. Besides, backing out right now would probably ruin her reputation in front of the schoolboys. That was probably something she was the most afraid of.
"Graveler, Go!" Giselle summoned a Graveler against Misty who chose Starmie.
This was just the beginning of a fierce match.
