"who are you?" Giselle asked.

"I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and I've already got 2 badges!"

Giselle closed her eyes and rubbed her hands. Them she opened her eyes and said with the most condescending smile that she could muster,

"Heh. In other words, you're just a beginner. And how long have you been trying to become a Pokemon trainer?"

Ash was caught off guard by this sudden question.

"hmmm...lemme think...Uh, About 2 months, I guess (?)"

Giselle gasped in fake surprise. "2 whole months and you let your Pikachu walk free? You haven't even been able to tame it yet?"

"Pika" Pikachu chirped.

Giselle slyly grinned. "Maybe your Pokemon are training you."

Ash definitely had what to reply to that, "I don't wanna train Pikachu! Pikachu is my friend and so are Butterfree and Pidgeotto!"

"Is that all you have?" Giselle asked.

"Huh?"

"That's funny, because even new Pokemon trainers usually have 6 Pokemon, and you got 2 badges with only 3. You sure were lucky, weren't you?"

Of course, she wasn't going to explain this to "Ash", right now she just wanted to show off her skills.

Ash shouted. "Every one of mine has the power of two!"

"I wonder, with two months of Pokemon experience, your Pikachi should be at level 25, but it's probably not there yet..."

Brock mumbled to himself "Actually, as a GYM leader, I want to say, that the whole Level System is completely arbitrary and approximate. A Pokemon's power can't be adequately measured in levels, - it's an outdated concept. I wonder why they still teach old anti-scientific stuff like that at this school..."

Giselle went on. "I suppose you didn't know much about Pokemon if you picked Pikachu as your first one. Pikachu tend to be hard to handle. It says so in any beginning Pokemon manual." Giselle winked in self-adorement.

Ash felt really irritated right now. He really didn't appreciate people talking down to him like that even if it was a beautiful girl.

"OH? You really didn't know? And you still got 2 badges? How funny! A Pikachu evolves into an electric Pokemon called Raichu. It gets to be pretty large. Pikachu can shock you, but otherwise it's pretty cute, don't you think? So if you don't let them evolve, they make great pets - especially for little girls, but I'm sure you knew that, didn't you? Really? You didn't? And you have 2 badges? Hahahahaha!" Giselle was taking it too far. She was just outright rude.

"Knock it off, let's battle!" Ash said with determination.

Pikachu took a defensive stance.

"For your Pikachu, this should be more than a match. Cubone, GO!" Giselle elegantly projected the Pokeball onto the battlefield(?) near the pool.

Ok guys I just wanna say I made some changes here and there in the text becuase my vision of the story has slightly shifted. I'm still planning on finishing this story though.
