141. cleave: to split with a sharp instrument; to cling

Unlike the hotel in Pewter, the one in Cerulean had a very cozy and familiar feel to it. It was already fairly late, so Green decided it'd be ok to change into his pajamas and throw his clothes into the laundry machine (hey, he was traveling light so he only had two changes of clothes besides his pjs). The laundry room was empty, so he took the liberty of taking a nap by the gently humming drying machine.

Of course, just when he just got to the part of the dream where he'd eat Red's cake, Leaf called him to cleave his happy dream in half. He picked up his phone sleepily.

"How was Mewtwo? I haven't seen him in ages!"

"Mmm."

"Green?"

"Mmhm?"

"...I'll call you back later."

"Mmhm." He hung up and tried to doze off, but he noted only 2 minutes left on the laundry machine and decided against it. He dully stared at the blinking countdown, and winced when the machine beeped at some ungodly high pitch. He scooped out his clothes, savoring the warmth, and then trudged back to his room.

142. annul: to make void or invalid

Upon reaching his hotel room, Green showered and was all for turning in early. However, as usual, Leaf annulled his desire to sleep. He resisted the slightly violent desire to crush his phone as he swiped the screen to pick up her call.

"You awake now?"

"Mhm."

"Guess not. You know, I went to check out your gym, and your trainers are nice."

"Mhm."

"Arabella's gay."

"Mhm."

143. gregarious: seeking and enjoying the company of others; tending to move in a group

"You won't get mad at me right?"

"..."

"Ok, I went in and beat all your trainers and became substitute leader but then I got beat by this redhead kid so I offered him a badge but he didn't take it."

"..."

"You can't blame me for being a little gregarious right? I've been stuck watching cartoon dragonairs make out on TV, I needed to do something!"

"..." Green moved his finger over the end call button.

"The kid's pretty strong, but he'd said he'd wait to challenge you and not me. Hey have fun relax and let me take care of things, gnight, you slaking!"

144. entourage: a group of attendants or followers

Green promptly passed out dead to the world, and woke up the next morning feeling very refreshed. He changed into normal clothes and carefully folded his pjs while thinking of what to do that day. Honestly, if it was up to him, he'd be alright and happy to just sleep in the whole day, maybe challenge the annoying sisters, probably eat, and then sleep some more. Of course, Leaf had something planned - a bike trip up north to say hi to Bill, who was apparently just back from Goldenrod in Johto.

But first things first - he set his clothes neatly on the nightstand so that the room cleaners wouldn't move his stuff everywhere when cleaning. He went downstairs to eat the breakfast offered in the lobby, and rejoiced in his new found energy. His day was looking pretty bright, when outside, the Cerulean sisters paraded by with their entourage of fans asking for signatures and whatnot. They had fans. Which meant that if he challenged the sisters earlier, their creepers would be on his tail for the rest of the day. Ok, well that was going at the end of his schedule.

145. pungent: sharp to the smell or taste

After waiting for several minutes, Green thought it safe to leave the building unnoticed, and headed to the bike shop. The old man was still there, working in the pungent smell of motor oil and machinery. The old man seriously must have had something with the smell, because Green honestly saw no reason to use motor oil to make bike gears run smoother, but to each his preferences. The shop owner greeted him cheerfully.

"Hey, if it isn't... oh yes, Green! A very long time, uh time, since we last met...et! Plant-girl, um, um, Leaf! She wants you to borrow bike, choooooose!"

The old man was probably at least eighty something, and Green was pleasantly surprised that the store owner actually remembered him (and didn't call him Blue!).

146. decor: a decorative style or scheme, as of a room

Green hadn't biked in ages, but was able to ride his rented bike smoothly enough; Eevee refused to sit in the basket at the front of the bike after crossing the bridge north of the city, and instead chose to ride on his head, whooping and making all sorts of weird noises at wild pokemon. Green arrived at Bill's house in a laughing mess, and struggled to compose himself before entering.

The decor of his messy house had hardly changed, though Bill himself appeared far more sophisticated than his previous, geeky self. Bill was happy to show Green how Rhydon, Alakazam, and Heracross were all doing in the PC. Bill's private PC was far more advanced than the ones in the pokecenters, and even allowed for communication between the trainer and his pokemon stored in Professor Oak's enormous ranch. The whole system seemed a little unnecessary though, since Green could just hop on south down Route 1 anytime to check on his pokemon.

147. benediction: blessing

Bill offered lunch, and the two chatted over rice and beans about the news of obsessive pokemon liberators in Unova hacking PC's and releasing thousands. When the two ran out of scientific news and research to catch up on, Green mentioned his challenge with the Cerulean sisters. Bill's attitude soured.

"Those arrogant missies insulted kimono girls, saying that water ballet is the new thing and kimono dance is outdated. I'm giving you my benediction so make sure to crush them! And remind them that kimono girls are better!"

"Uh, ok. It actually is a little late so I guess I'll go?" Green really did not need to hear Bill's secret kinkiness so...

148. fervent: passionate; eager; earnest

Upon returning to Cerulean, he found Misty pacing in front of the bike rental. When she heard his bike wheels humming, she faced him and shouted fervently.

"Where were you all morning? I need my position back, can you just beat my sisters up already?"

Green slowed his bike to a halt and dismounted. "Sure? If you'll fight off the fanboys?"

149. jeopardy: risk of loss or injury; peril

Misty face palmed. "Is that all you worry about? My name, my job is at jeopardy here? And Brock said he come over tomorrow..."

"Wait, you and Brock are together? Since when?"

Misty flushed. "That's none of your business, just hurry up and beat them already!"

"Ok ok, I'm on it... If I wake up to fanboys with axes then you better send Brock on them, he's tough as rock, eh?"

150. unassuming: modest; not pretentious

Green walked to the gym, hoping that the girls would wear something a little more unassuming than the dresses they wore that literally hid none of their legs and were dangerously short. The girls seemed excited to see him, so Green covered his eyes and whispered for Venusaur to make quick work out of the weak Goldeen and Seakings and Shellders. Venusaur looked disapprovingly at the girls' immodesty and took down all the fish with a couple razor leaves each.

"Uh yeah, you all lost in... 1 minute, so I have authority? And I'm returning leadership to Misty?" Green tried to ignore the weird stares from the fanboys standing around the edges of the gym, apparently there to cheer. Ugh, Green didn't even swing for these kind of girls. Nice, quiet people were more his type...
