Hey everyone! This is the second chapter in the "How we Win" story. I know these chapters are kind of short, but again: I am building up to some really long chapters shortly. Kind of trying to make some cute little, fun chapters right now. Excuses Excuses. I know. Let's just get into the story. Please enjoy.
It was a new day and the trio of friends were, as usual, doing their own thing. Joey and Lee were having a heated discussion about future Pokemon when they heard a loud and overbearing voice calling them.
"Hey guys, check out some of the pictures I took!" Joey ran towards his friends with a handful of photos and a slightly tired Ralts chasing after him.
"So that's where he went for the last few hours." Ryo said under his breath. Lee just sighed.
Joey made it to his friends. He immediately shoved a portion of his photos in each of their hands. "Check these out, guys!" Joey exclaimed. "The ones you have, Ryo, are of my Ralts using her Magical Leaf in a flower field nearby. And you, Lee, have the pictures of some hot trainers I saw battling up the road. Pretty sexy, if I do say so myself."
Lee nearly choked as he stared at a picture of a female trainer's picture taken from beneath her skirt. How Joey got this angle was beyond him. Ryo just stared in amazement at the pictures in his hands.
"Wow Joey, these are amazing!" Ryo exclaimed.
"I know, right? It took me like a million shots, but I finally got the right ones!" Joey gushed.
"It looks like that was time well spent, my friend!" Ryo smiled as he looked through his pictures. "I love how the leaves look so green and sharp when Ralts manipulated them. She makes them look like they are being reinforced with something… magical."
"That's the same thing I was thinking!" Joey smiled even wider.
"Good job, Ralts!" Ryo said down to the Pokemon, who blushed. "You really are a great model." At this, Ralts blushed even harder.
"Am I traveling with women, or men?" Lee thought as he stared at his friends. He then shrugged and gave Joey back him pictures. "They are pretty good man."
"Thanks. I was thinking about heading to Floaroma Town to take some more pictures of flowers and stuff with Ralts. What do you guys think about heading over there first?"
"What's there for us, exactly?" Lee asked.
"Well, they have a lot of beautiful women who are as gorgeous as roses and as sharp as their thorns." Joey began. "They also have a Contest Hall where we can compete and earn ribbons for our Pokemon."
"Sounds girly." Lee stated.
"Sounds fun!" Ryo smiled. "Count me in!"
"Well you can definitely count me out!" Lee said. "I don't participate in girl events."
"Fine then. You can just watch Ryo and I enter and win, right Ryo?" Joey smirked.
"Right!"
"You guys do know that only one person can win a Contest, right?"
There was an awkward silence. "I don't want to play anymore." Ryo whispered.
"Don't be a baby, Ryo!" Joey shouted. "You are going to enter that Contest to win. No matter who or what, nothing will stop you from coming out on top!"
"Well what about you? What are you going to do?" Ryo asked.
"I, my good friend, am going to be sitting on the sidelines with the beautiful announcer, taking pictures." Joey said.
"You have got to be kidding me." Lee sighed.
"And you, Lee!" Joey turned on Lee, making him slightly jump back in shock. "Are going to join him!"
"Why me?!"
"Because I need as many good snapshots as I can get of good Pokemon and their dazzling beauty!" Joey shot back.
"Count. Me. Out." Lee said as he turned his back to Joey and Ryo. Joey mimicked his actions and turned away as well.
"Aw come on, Lee. It will be fun." Ryo said, trying to mend his friends and their argument.
"I don't do girly." Lee said. If there was one thing Lee knew was that he was WAY too manly for certain activities. His pride would not allow him to lower himself and do certain things.
Joey sighed. "Well don't worry about him, Ryo. Let's just head to Floaroma Town and enter the Contest. I will just shoot pictures of you and your Pokemon."
"And I will be training Growlithe outside of town." Lee said.
"Fine." Joey said.
"Fine." Lee said.
"Fine." Ryo said.
