Episode 47: Rematch at the Striaton Gym.
Time for a pin battle, this time we will have it with the normal rules.
Disclaimer: the only thing that belongs to me in this story is the character Madeline, but other than that the pokemon series and the cover don't belong to me.
"Wow this place hasn't changed much," Ash complimented while looking around the building to see the people getting served by the Pin Master's brothers, the atmosphere was the same when he first entered the gym and the décor, the people sitting in the room while eating but the feel was still a little moody from the war that was raging on in another town, "this is messed up, I am battling one of my friends for a pin when I should be defending them," Ash told himself while clenching his fists in anger, he looked away in shame knowing that it wouldn't be too long before the city was to become a battlefield, 'and not only that Salvia's birthday will be soon,' Ash thought while looking back to see the bluenette squealing in joy at the impressive restaurant set up while she was looking around at the amazing food service.
"Wow Cilan, I can't believe you and your brothers run such a fine establishment," Salvia complimented her friend while Ash looked towards the fireplace where the gym was behind that wall, "Ash we will need to come back here on another date," Salvia told the trainer with a smile but he looked away not responding to her demand, 'he is still not taking this very well,' Salvia thought while looking at the legendary pokemon's pokeball.
'You're right princess, he isn't focused entirely on this adventure, in fact I don't think he has the will to continue with this,' Reshiram's voice echoed in the royal's mind.
Salvia closed her eyes for a moment and looked up to see the vast white pokemon looking down at her, 'what am I supposed to do?' Salvia asked the legendary pokemon while looking at the silhouette of the trainer in her mind.
'Nothing at the moment, you need to keep an eye on him,' Reshiram told the princess before leaving the royal's mind, 'he needs to use his abilities of aura to keep everyone he holds dear safe,' Reshiram's voice echoed in the bluenette's mind.
Salvia opened her eyes to see Ash and Madeline walking into the battle area, "you need to open up," Salvia whispered to herself while following Ash to the battlefield and taking the seat next to the field, she stared at Ash with concern, "that's right but how do I make Ash use those abilities without putting myself in danger needlessly?" Salvia asked herself as she looked at her husband's pokeball.
"Salvia, are you alright?" Madeline asked her friend while looking at the pokeball in the royal's grasp, 'Mister Ash isn't using his legendary pokemon,' Madeline thought as she turned her gaze to the trainer who as preparing to battle against the Pin Master, "will he win this battle?" Madeline asked the princess with a frown.
Salvia looked up to see Ash picking up his pokeball, she knew that the trainer was still struggling to come to terms with the current war that was happening, 'this is the first time I am not certain,' Salvia thought with uncertainty , she watched as the two trainers called out their respective first pokemon, "Simisage," Salvia looked over to the green pokemon as it stared at the pokemon at the side of the trainer, 'I haven't seen this pokemon,' Salvia thought while looking at the blue and black pokemon standing on its hind legs.
Ash turned his gaze to Salvia, "if I am going to protect the people important to me, I need to utilize my abilities to control aura," Ash reminded himself before returning his focus back to the battle against his friend. "Lucario, start this battle with Aura Sphere," Ash instructed the aura pokemon quickly, the fox like pokemon nodded and charged up a ball of blue energy in its palms.
Cilan surprisingly at the opposing pokemon as it charged up the attacks, "Ash has a Lucario?" Cilan questioned himself as the ball of aura moved closer to his pokemon, "defend with Bullet Seed," Cilan instructed his pokemon while maintaining his cool. The monkey like pokemon fired a burst of seed at the incoming attack pushing it back a little but it was soon overpowered by the sphere, "move out of the way now," Cilan insturced his pokemon with panic, Simisage moved out of the way as the attack landed where he was standing causing the a large explosion in the area, "amazing his fighting type is extremely powerful," Cilan complimented with a frown while keeping a focused eye on the battle, "attack with Solar Beam."
Ash waited for the chance to defend his pokemon, he watched as the grass type pokemon charged up his attack, the grass type unleashed his attacks while the aura pokemon waited for the command of its trainer, "now use Bone Rush to defend," Ash instructed his pokemon with great vigor. The aura pokemon formed a long green bone and spun it around in its hands deflecting the Solar Beam through the roof of the building leaving everyone in awe, "from now on I will not be holding anything back!" Ash declared with a confident grin.
Salvia watched as the aura pokemon charged towards the green monkey, 'what does he mean he won't be holding anything back?' Salvia wondered as a chill ran down her spine while witnessing a powerful sphere forming in the palms of the steel type pokemon before pushing it into the opposing grass type, "Ash that was reckless!" Salvia yelled at the trainer as the aura pokemon leapt back towards its trainer, the princess looked at the fighting type pokemon as it was panting.
"He knocked out my pokemon, but Lucario took a powerful hit with its own attack," Cilan said while recalling his pokemon with a frown while looking up to see Ash determined to continue the battle with his pokemon, "well aren't you going to switch out?" Cilan asked his friend with concern while pulling out his next pokeball to get back to the battle, "Ferrothorn, time to battle," Cilan called out his grass and steel type pokemon.
Salvia pulled out her pokadex to scan the steel type pokemon with green appendages extending from the top of its body, Salvia then turned her focus to the fighting type pokemon with great concern, "why isn't Ash giving his pokemon a rest?" Salvia whispered as she began to question the trainer's tactics.
Madeline was watching wondering what her friend was going to do next, 'why is Salvia so concerned?' Madeline wondered as she scanned the battlefield, "come on Mister Ash, win this battle!" Madeline Cheered while watching Ash command his pokemon to attack again, 'oh wow Lucario is amazing,' Madeline thought while Aura Sphere as fired towards the grass type pokemon take the hit from a distance.
"Wow, his pokemon is powerful, didn't expect him to have such pokemon," Cilan said with shock as his pokemon held its ground after the powerful hit, "Ferrothorn attack with Power Whip," Cilan told his pokemon to counter his friends pokemon, the grass type spun around flaying its appendages around as the fighting type stood at the ready.
"Lucario, stop it with Bone Rush," Ash instructed his pokemon quickly. The aura pokemon formed another bone in its hands and tried to repel the attack but as too exhausted and took the full brunt of the grass type's attack and knocking it out leaving Salvia and Madeline in shock while Ash remained calm after the powerful attack. Ash recalled his pokemon and pulled out another pokeball ready to face off against the steel type pokemon, "Staraptor, I choose you," Ash called out his next pokemon to face off against the grass type pokemon.
"A flying type, too bad I cannot switch out, I have just the pokemon to deal with this pokemon," Cilan reminded himself while nodding at his grass type pokemon happily, "let's start this round with Iron Head," Cilan commanded with great confidence. The grass type pokemon pushed itself with the three vines causing the pokemon to fly towards the flying type pokemon.
Ash smirked knowing that his friend's pokemon was about ready to fall, "not so fast Cilan, Staraptor attack with Aerial Ace," Ash ordered his flying type with conviction. The two pokemon charged at one another not willing to back down, the predator pokemon started to glow red before increasing the speed of its attack, the two pokemon collided into one another pushed each other back from the direction they had come from.
"Yes that's it Ash," Madeline cheered the trainer with increasing confidence but Salvia remained quiet knowing that this wasn't her prince's normal battling style, "show him your power," Madeline instructed the trainer.
Salvia looked over to Cilan who was equally concerned about the trainer reckless style of battle, 'even Cilan is concerned about this, it does seem like Ash is trying to end this battle quickly,' Salvia acknowledged while the flying type pokemon got back up from the ferocious attacks, "come on Ash use your brains in this battle!" Salvia told the trainer while punching the air in front of her, Ash glared at her in reply leaving Salvia feeling angry at his response, 'I know he is feeling the pressure but why is he in such a bad mood, I thought we had already talked about it,' Salvia wondered as the trainer commanded for Brave Bird to end this round.
"Show them what power really is," Ash told his pokemon with a smirk.
"Use Power Whip now," Cilan instructed his pokemon while the flying type charged towards the steel type pokemon with it apendages glowing purple before flaying them at the flying type pokemon, Cilan watched in shock as his pokemon took a powerful hit from the challengers pokemon, 'amazing, but Ash is being reckless in this battle, his Staraptor took a lot of damage in that exchange,' Cilan reminded himself before recalling his second pokemon, "Tangrowth, time to battle," Cilan called out his next pokemon with a confident smile, "start this battle with Ancient Power," Cilan instructed his pokemon.
The large pokemon with green vines all over its body and two long arms which smashed the ground raising boulders into the air sending it flying towards the tired flying type pokemon, "Staraptor dodge the attack then use, Brave Bird again," Ash instructed his pokemon.
"Ash you idiot, Staraptor cannot take another Brave Bird!" Madeline yelled angrily at the trainer as Salvia looked at the little girl in amazement, "call off the attack now," Madeline instructed the trainer as the pokemon started to gain a bright blue aura while increasing the speed of its flight.
"Ash, Madeline is right," Salvia agreed with the little girl.
"This is my battle!" Ash replied as the girls stared in disbelief in Ash's reply, Ash turned his focus back to the battle to see his Staraptor dodged the rocks before slamming into the grass type pokemon, the grass type stood its ground as the predator pokemon crashed to the ground from the severity of the attack, 'what have I done?' Ash questioned himself while looking at his fallen pokemon, he recalled his pokemon now starting to feel guilty at himself, "Samurott, I choose you," Ash called out a mostly blue pokemon with two large shells on his hind legs and a beige shell helmet with a spear like point and a white whiskers from his face.
Everyone looked on in shock knowing that Ash had called out a pokemon with a severe disadvantage in this round, "Ash, you fool Samurott is a water type!" Salvia yelled out while Cilan shrugged his shoulders in disbelief, 'Ash, isn't focusing he has called out a pokemon that has a type disadvantage,' Salvia thought as she clenched her fists in anger.
"Ash, this isn't like our first battle three years ago, my grass type pokemon are much stronger," Cilan pointed out with a confident smirk and shaking his head, "start this round with Giga Drain," Cilan ordered his pokemon calmly. his pokemon started to glow a bright green while the opposing pokemon started to glow as well, the energy started to drain from the water type pokemon and sending it back to the now replenishing grass type pokemon
Ash smirked knowing that everyone was right about the type disadvantage, "you're right grass types have a distinct advantage against water types, so Samurott use Ice Beam," Ash replied to his doubters with one command. The formidable pokemon threw his head back and sent out a frigid beam towards the grass type.
"Tangrowth dodge the attack and then use Power Whip," Cilan called out for the counter attack. The vine pokemon pushed its body from the ground with the help of its powerful arms causing the powerful ice type attack to hit the ground it was standing on, while in mid-air the grass type's arms started to glow purple before whipping the water type with the mighty attack.
"Samurott dodge the attack now," Ash instructed the water type but it was too late Tangrowth's arms slammed into the water type dealing significant damage and knocking it out, Ash looked at his pokemon knowing that the tide of the battle had just shifted into his friend's favor, the raven haired trainer recalled his water type from the battle and got ready to recommence the battle, "I will not give up," Ash declared before being interrupted by the gym leader who just recalled his pokemon from the battle, "what the hell Cilan?" Ash asked in shock as his friend walked away from the battle.
"This isn't the way you normally battle, you are going at it recklessly, I refuse to battle you until you battle the way you normally do," Cilan replied before walking towards the exit of the battlefield, leaving the trainer in shock at what had just happened.
Salvia walked up to Ash while Madeline sat next to Raichu waiting for what was about to happen, "I thought Ash was battling well," Madeline whispered while the electric mouse sat in waiting knowing that, they watched as the royal raised her hand into the air.
Salvia quickly moved her hand and slapped the trainer across the face, "what's wrong with you Ash? You are never that reckless in battle!" Salvia yelled at the trainer who looked away with Salvia's hand still planted on his face, "tell me now Ash, there is something the matter, I already told you to tell me what's on your mind," Salvia dictated as the trainer started to cry leaving the princess in shock.
"I no longer know what to do," Ash said solemnly before grasping the bluenette's hand and moving it away from his face, he let go and walked away from the battlefield leaving the royal in shock, "this pressure of protecting people I cannot take it anymore!" Ash yelled out before running away from the princess who was staring at the back of the trainer.
Salvia stood on the spot unable to say a word, she tried to call out for Ash but nothing would come from her lips, she tried to reach out but Ash would simply get further away, she closed her eyes to see Reshiram standing in front of her, 'it seems like Ash has finally cracked under the pressure,' Reshiram said with sadness as the bottom half started to fade away, 'if Ash doesn't do something I will be reverting back to my stone form,' Reshiram told the royal as she listened with shock.
'Reshiram, do you know what's going on?' Salvia asked the legendary dragon quietly.
'Yes, the friends and family are the people closest to him yet when he put it all on the line to save the people on that plane he couldn't save Madeline's family,' Reshiram replied with certainty while Salvia listened with the intent to figure out what was going on, 'Ash is starting to question even his own ability to save and protect the people he holds precious to him,' Reshiram stated leaving Salvia to think about something.
'Ash needs to know that his friends can look after themselves right?' Salvia asked the dragon type pokemon.
'Correct, but there is the problem with his mother, remember your uncle has Delia under his control, this is hurting him,' Reshiram told the royal as she looked to the ground with guilt.
'Alright, I will try to talk to him,' Salvia replied with a faint smile. Salvia started running towards the trainer needing to catch up to him, Madeline watched this feeling saddened by the recent events, Salvia looked back to see her sitting on the chair, "come on Madeline, we need to see Ash," Salvia told the little girl quietly, she quickly turned around and recommenced her search for Ash.
"Right," Madeline replied as she got to her feet and ran towards the princess to help find Ash.
Meanwhile outside Ash was sitting at the front of the gym looking up to the sky, the clouds started to float across the blue sky with his thoughts on the potential that the city was going to be invaded by Chris's army. Ash turned around and grabbed Reshiram's pokeball which was thrown at him by the royal, "next time do a better job of sneaking up on me," Ash commented coldly while the bluenette walked up to him to grab her Ninetails. The princess raised her hand and slapped the trainer again, "will you stop that?" Ash asked the princess angered by her actions.
"No, I will not stop it, you said yourself that you will tell me what's on your mind," Salvia retorted while keeping her hand on the spot she hit Ash, "you want to know something?" Salvia asked the trainer while glaring in his auburn eyes determined to snap out of his problem, "Reshiram is about to return to stone form if you don't get your normal self back," Salvia pointed out leaving the trainer in shock.
Salvia continued to berate the trainer while Madeline walked up to Ash, she looked at the ground thinking of the words she needed to say to Ash, "Mister Ash, I just want to tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you saved my life," Madeline said before walking away from the duo. Salvia looked over to the girl with a proud smile while Ash tried looking away and trying to catch his breath.
"Ash, I know you want to do everything to save the innocent people, but you cannot do it if you keep this personality up," Salvia told Ash while removing her hand and turning away from the trainer, "why are you running away Ash?" Salvia asked her husband with a solemn tone, "you always seemed positive even in the face of great danger," Salvia commented sadly as she started to leave the trainer before being approached by the gym leader, the princess ignored the gym leader and walked back into the gym, she took the chance to look back and started to shed a tear shocking Ash greatly.
Ash stood on the spot with the picture of Salvia starting to cry, the trainer collapsed to the ground and started to punch it with anger, "just what am I to do, my friends are fighting, my mom is under that bastards control, I just feel like I can't do anything right anymore," Ash stated while Cilan watched him beating himself up, "even the plane heading to Unova I did everything to save everyone on that plane," Ash stated while hitting the ground in anger.
"Ash, being reckless in battle, what does it prove? Where does it lead you?" Cilan asked the trainer cautiously while taking a few steps in front of the trainer, "I stopped the battle because I knew the real you would never battle that recklessly," Cilan pointed out while Ash looked up to his friend. Cilan looked back at his friend with a smile, "we gym leaders know what's going on, we know there is a war that needs to be fought," Cilan explained while Ash looked up with an uncertain expression.
"You mean to fight in the upcoming battles?" Ash asked the pin master, Cilan nodded in reply while Ash got up, "another of my friends putting themselves in danger while I am simply not allowed to fight," Ash commented while turning away from his friend, he looked up to see Salvia standing in front of him, "what if they need me to fight the enemy?" Ash asked the princess and his friend while clenching both his fists.
"Ash, we can take care of ourselves, you need to complete the task that is put before you," Cilan replied while he started to walk back to the gym, "my brothers in fact prepared a letter in case you needed it," Cilan decreed with a smile, "how about we finish that battle of ours?" Cilan asked his friend as he entered the gym leaving Ash to stand in front of his young wife.
Ash looked into the princess's bright blue eyes, he tried to smile but there was nothing to smile about, "before we leave this city, we must battle," Salvia told the trainer while taking the trainer's right hand. Salvia let out a deep breath and raised her hand towards the trainer's face, she cupped it and smiled at the trainer, "Ash, I know you were affected by what happened to your mother, but that was beyond our control, things do go wrong but it's up to us to fix it," Salvia said with a smile and made eye contact with him as he listened with great focus, "you helped me so much, I gained new experiences, saw danger in every corner, but that doesn't mean that I will give up!" Salvia yelled at her love with determination. Ash stood silently as his memories started to race through his mind, the times he had saved the princess and failed to save people from the forces of Team Rocket, "Ash even I failed to save a few people, but do I beat myself up because of it?" Salvia asked the trainer while trying to comfort him.
Ash looked into the royal eyes with guilt written all over his face, he sighed knowing that his young wife was right about her words, "thanks for telling me this Salvia, before I do something I would regret," Ash said quietly while taking the royal's hand.
'You need to use me in the next part of your battle,' Reshiram telepathically told its trainer quietly.
'But Cilan is my friend I cannot bring myself to use you in battle against my friend,' Ash replied with a frown.
'Listen Ash, I want to know if you can use me in battle, regardless of who you are facing even a friend,' Reshiram stated while leaving Ash to look at the ground, before taking the dragon type's pokeball, 'Ash you need to think about what you will do when you need to fight and defend the ones you care about,' Reshiram stated in the trainer's mind.
"Come on Salvia, I have a battle to finish," Ash declared as he let go of the royal's hand and made his way back into the gym.
'I wonder what will happen in this round,' Salvia thought as she followed the trainer slowly back into the gym, she looked over to Madeline who watched what had unfolded, "you have nothing to worry about Madeline, it seems like Ash will finish his battle," Salvia explained causing the little girl to breathe a sigh of relief.
Madeline turned her gaze to Raichu as the princess finally re-entered the gym, 'good, but will he battle recklessly?' Madeline wondered. Madeline walked into the gym and to the battlefield to see Ash holding one of his pokeballs out and staring at the previous pokemon that he had battled with.
"Cilan, you should have healed your pokemon when you had the chance," Ash told the gym leader while shaking his head in shock.
"We will be battling where we left off," Cilan replied with a confident smirk.
"Alright but don't say I didn't warn you, Reshiram I choose you," Ash called out a large white pokemon leaving Cilan in shock at the sight of the mighty legendary pokemon, "Reshiram asked me to involve it in the battle," Ash said quietly while the vast white pokemon's blue eyes stared down at the tired grass type pokemon, "Reshiram attack with Dragon Pulse," Ash instructed his legendary pokemon with great confidence.
The powerful dragon type opened its mouth and prepared a powerful blast of energy, "Tangrowth attack with Power Whip," Cilan instructed but his tired pokemon was too slow to react and took a powerful blast from the legendary pokemon, 'wow Ash has control over the legendary pokemon,' Cilan thought while recalling his pokemon from the battle, "Crustle, it's time to battle," Cilan called out his fourth pokemon much to the surprise of the trainer and the people watching.
"What I thought he would use only grass type pokemon," Salvia commented while looking at the mostly orange pokemon with a large shell on its back.
"That's right, but this pokemon has been a part of my team for a few years now," Cilan replied before refocusing on the battle, "start this round with Rock Wrecker," Cilan instructed his pokemon.
Ash watched as his opponents pokemon built up a large boulder, he gritted his teeth and looked up to see the much larger pokemon standing there ready for the trainer's command to come, 'Reshiram is much too large for me to say dodged, but maybe a powerful attack will do' Ash thought as Crustle unleashd the mighty attack, "Reshiram, send it back with Psychic," Ash instructed his pokemon while maintaining his cool. The large white pokemon started to glow a bright blue as it surrounded the large rock with a blue aura, the Dragon pokemon roared and sent the boulder back towards the stone home pokemon.
The boulder flew towards the rock type pokemon much to the horror of the gym leader, "if that hit's Crustle will take a lot of damage," Cilan stated with his mouth agape, the rock slammed into the bug type pokemon dealing immense damage. Crustle got back up and stared at the pokemon but was panting from the force of the attack, "alright use Rock Slide," Cilan instructed his pokemon to attack yet again.
"oh no you don't Reshiram attack with Fusion Flare a large ball of flames appeared over the mouth of the dragon type pokemon with two yellow rings surrounding it, the vast white pokemon unleashed the powerful attack knocking the boulders back at the opposing pokemon, the attack landed dealing significant damage to the rock type and knocking it out.
Salvia and Madeline watched in amazement, seeing the large dragon type pokemon easily defeating the powerful pokemon that Cilan was battling with, "amazing, it seems as if Ash has gotten over the problem," Salvia praised her prince with a proud smile, 'but I am still uncertain if he has gotten over the problem,' Salvia wondered while watching the pokemon connoisseur calling out a brown pokemon with yellow fins, 'another pokemon that isn't a grass type?' Salvia wondered while looking at the strange pokemon her friend had on his side of the battlefield.
"It seems like I am in for quite the battle," Cilan admitted with a confident smirk, "show me what Reshiram is capable of," Cilan told the trainer confidently while his pokemon smiled at the dragon type pokemon, "start this off with Thunderbolt," Cilan instructed his pokemon, the ground type unleashed a mighty blast of electricity hitting the dragon type pokemon, the vast white pokemon stood there as if nothing happened, "amazing," Cilan remarked while looking at the powerful legendary pokemon.
"Attack with Shadow Ball," Ash issued his commanded with certainty. The mighty dragon powered up a purple sphere before unleashing it at the electric type, the attack smashed into the thunder type knocking it out in a single hit.
Ash looked to the ground with guilt written over his face, Cilan noticed this and smiled at him, "Ash there is no need to be feeling guilty, you have shown that you have almost gotten over the lack of confidence," Cilan stated proudly as he recalled his pokemon. Cilan started walking over to Ash happy to see that Ash was ready to continue his journey, "here take the Vine Pin and this letter," Cilan told the trainer before taking a camera, "you two please come here," Cilan called over to the two girls sitting on the bench.
Salvia and Madeline got up and walked over to Ash, "what is it Cilan?" Salvia questioned the gym leader.
"It would be faster if I send a picture to the guards, they will only let approved people pass through the gates," Cilan replied while taking the picture of the three people, he looked at the picture on his camera and started to laugh at it for a second, he looked up and nodded at the trio.
While CIlan continued to laugh Ash clenched his fists in anger, "Cilan why the heck are you laughing?" Ash asked in irritation as he recalled his large dragon type pokemon
"Nothing Ash, just thinking of something," Cilan replied happily, "the guards will get this tonight, so you might as well rest up," Cilan told the trainer and the princess, 'personally I knew I didn't stand a chance and plus this pokemon was only recently caught,' Cilan commented while looking at the pokeball in his hands. The connoisseur watched his friends leaving the gym with pride, "brothers we have some work e need to do," Cilan told his brothers sternly as they watched the trio leave. Cilan looked at the photo again and started to snicker at it again, 'I wonder what role Madeline will play in the future,' Cilan wonder before walking away from the battle area.
Ash walked out of the building and looked back to see Salvia talking to Madeline, 'am I really ready to save the people I care about?' Ash wondered while looking away from the girls, he opened his pocket and looked at the ring he was allowed to use when he married Salvia, 'she is only just sixteen, but acts more of an adult than me,' Ash thought while zipping up the pocket, "I wonder how far the enemy is?" Ash asked quietly while looking at the forest edge heading towards the previous Town.
"You know Madeline, Ash didn't know a thing about reading books until I showed up," Salvia declared while showing the little girl one of the books Ash was reading at the start, the little girl burst out in laughter struggling for words while pointing at the book, "yeah a children's book," Salvia remarked while laughing before she started to cough heavily.
Ash quickly ran up to the royal and helped her up, "hey are you alright?" Ash asked the princess with a concerned look in his eyes.
"Yeah I am fine, just a cough that's all," Salvia replied with a smile before walking ahead of the trainer as he looked in concern feeling like something was about to go wrong, "come on Ash even Madeline is faster than you," Salvia called over to her husband with a bright smile.
'Like hell you're fine that cough wasn't a good sign,' Ash thought while looking at the bluenette, 'maybe she was hiding something as well,' Ash wondered as he started to catch up to the royal and the little girl with his Raichu.
The Pin battle ends with Ash's victory, but it seems like Salvia is hiding something as well.
What is the princess hiding? Will it affect their journey? And what was Cilan laughing at?
The answers will be revealed in due time. Please review and tell me what you think of this edgier story, within the next few chapters I will be upping the ante.
