holy crap i just realized i forgot about janine lolwhoops well well well um lets see if i can fix that plothole
i adjusted 301-310 hehe sorry but pretty much all i wrote was that Janine never is in the gym (cause we all know that she's buddy buddy with falkner way over in johto hoho) so Green was planning to go to see Koga instead
321. flaunt: to display ostentatiously; to show off; to boast
Green did not mean to his flaunt his power, but the annoying small-fry trainers didn't really believe his as gym-leader material when he shouldered his way in the fighting dojo to meet with Blaine. Blaine got along with kids splendidly when he wasn't busy conjuring up Arceus knows what in his lab, and the whole dojo was flooded with young trainers. Green eventually got around to releasing Blastoise to show off some authority - that silenced the kids quick, and he quickly made his way to Blaine, who was still animatedly discussing exactly how Rapidash grazed without lighting whole prairies on fire.
322. exploit: a bold or daring act
Only when Blaine found the young trainer he was lecturing lose interest all of a sudden did he look up to see Green.
"Ho ho! If it isn't Green on his exploit to conquer the gyms of Kanto!" Blaine conjured up a mild applause. Some of the older teens stared at him in recognition - the champion of thirty minutes. "Are you here to ask for my approval?"
Green nodded.
"Ho-ohkay! I had planned to support your rebellion peacefully, but with all these young trainers, my fiery spirit burns! Let's have a rematch!"
323. impervious: completely resistant to penetration; unaffected
Green tried to remain impervious to the stares he was getting from Blaine's theatrical performance.
"It's a 3 on 3, no switching unless a pokemon faints!" Green pulled out Aerodactyl and after a second's deliberation, Umbreon.
324. plaintive: expressing sorrow
Blaine's magcargo fainted within twenty seconds of the battle with a well aimed water gun. Green winced at the fiery snail toppled over with a plaintive cry as Blaine recalled it. Green then crossed his fingers and hoped that Blaine's admirers wouldn't kill him for a one-sided thrashing.
The battle quickly became more interesting as Blaine pulled out his special Magmar. The crazy thing knew some weird moves; it dodged a hydrocannon and surprised Blastoise with a thunderpunch. Blastoise was then paralyzed, and unable to dodge a disorienting confuse ray. Green swore as he recalled Blaine's no switching rule. Another thunderpunch and Blastoise went down. Green swallowed in... excitement. This was the real deal.
325. culpable: deserving blame or punishment
Green sent out Aerodactyl next, who went with a good old earthquake to knock out Magmar in one solid hit. Blaine gave him a thumbs up, and then sent out his Rapidash. The fiery horse nearly hit Aerodactyl out of the sky as the fossil pokemon prepared to dive onto the ground to incite another earthquake. Green fist pumped when Aerodactyl dodged the attack; Green'd never seen a horse been able to attack a flying pokemon with a bounce and a jump. The Rapidash was unable to stop its momentum fast enough to jump airborne to avoid the next earthquake.
Although the arena, like in most official battling buildings, was set off from the rest of the building so that the spectators wouldn't be harmed by large scale attacks like earthquake or surf (psychic pokemon created a soundproof barrier to prevent anything besides maybe air pass to and from the arena), Green felt that he was just a little culpable for tearing up the arena floor pretty badly. He grinned a little sheepishly, and as the barrier went down, he was surprised to hear cheers. He had half expected some dirty stares or looks for beating such a well respected idol, but the audience seemed to consist of mostly young trainers who still held up to good sportsmanship.
326. pontificate: to speak pompously and at length
Blaine also cheerily and heartily squeezed his hand and pumped it rigorously. Green massaged his hand as Blaine let go to sign the petition. Sensing Blaine was about to pontificate a speech of congratulation, Green bowed his head quickly before hopping out of the building, and ran.
327. sentiment: a feeling or opinion, especially based on emotion instead of reason
Though friendly enough, the young trainers sprinting after him simply did not seem to understand his sentiment of freaking leave me alone and continued to pursue him through the crowded streets of Saffron. As he ran, Green fiddled with his pokeballs, trying to find Pidgeotto's, all the while freaking out as the sprinters got way too close for comfort.
At last, he released the pokemon that he'd thought to be Pidgeotto. It was a flying type - but more of the aggressive fire breathing dragon type. Charizard quickly assessed the situation, slapped Green on the stomach with his tail so hard that Green was winded and airborne, and then let Green fall on his back before flapping his mighty wings and taking off.
328. interloper: one who interferes with the affairs of others; a meddler
Charizard rapidly outpaced the interlopers and Green groaned on his back; his ribs hurt something fierce, and he might as well have broken a couple with that whack. But he was on Charizard's back. Which means for some reason or the other, Charizard had decided to be cheery today and not hang him by the arms.
Green stopped just south, at Vermilion, and as he landed, he thanked Charizard and inhaled the quite familiar smell of ocean and... drugs. He brought his team to the nurse, who happily took Blastoise and Umbreon and Aerodactyl. The other four remained in Green's pocket as he walked about and waited for their treatment.
329. delectable: very pleasing; delightful, especially to the taste
Green went shopping for supposedly delectable poketreats, and dished them out to everybody when he retrieved Blastoise and Umbreon and Aerodactyl from the pokecenter. Green was essentially done with his journey; Janine might or might not be in Fuchsia, as she frequently spirited off to travel and train (or maybe see Falkner, ooh). It'd be easier to find Koga; harder to battle yes, but definitely easier to find. Also, since Koga was at Indigo Plateau, he'd be able to deliver the papers to Lance as well, killing two birds with one stone.
330. blemish: a flaw that harms the appearance of something
After a devouring a couple energy bars, Green mounted Pidgeotto and prepared for the long flight to Pallet. He rubbed some of Pidgeotto's singed feathers, blemishes on his otherwise evenly colored plumage. The bird would soon be free to go home.
