So, I continued my small journey across the psychic-type gym. I have fixed Lei Sheng`s new Leer move in replacement for old and quite useless Splash – too bad we didn`t succeed in learning my awesome Flying fish maneuver. But I can think of more cool maneuvers later.
I traveled from one teleport to another, trying to find my way to Sabrina and leaving the chocolate wraps behind me. That`s how I mark my way.
Some of the rooms were already cleared by Douchebag, and that made my way much easier. I still had to battle another psychic with a bunch of Kadabra and Slowpoke families, but I have defeated him easily with Reaper and Loser.
Jumping from one room to another, I suddenly began to realize that I have been there. But used teleports were already marked with trash left behind, so I easily found new teleports.
Until one of them suddenly returned me back to the beginning…
How could this be possible? I have marked each teleport I`ve already stepped into! I ate so much chocolate today that my ass is gonna stick together for the rest of my life!
Douchebag…
He uncovered my plan. It`s not that hard, actually, and he is trying to spoil my plan to challenge Sabrina first. And he can use my trick in his favor! That bastard…
Well, at least, I have observed most of rooms, so I had some memory remained, and used it to course through the rooms. It was pretty hard, but to navigate better I stomped old wraps into the ground. It`s good that no one was around, otherwise I would be ashamed of staining their floor even more…
In the end, I have found the room with all three of four portals marked. The only portal that doesn`t have a chocolate wrap near it is the right one. Too bad one of the other portals was right now occupied by some douchebag, kicking out my wrap mark away.
"Got you!" I shouted to him, interrupting this small act of hooliganism.
Douchebag immediately turned to me and understood that I caught him on the crime scene. But he didn`t answer anything – just looked at the last untouched teleport. The one that HAS to lead to Sabrina.
"Oh, no, you don`t!" I threateningly shook my head to him, causing an evil smile.
Douchebag immediately rushed from the place, running towards the teleport and continuing to look at me. I made a serious face and chased him until he disappeared in the flash of teleportation pad. Only after that I let myself smile a bit and lower my speed.
"What an idiot…"
I imposingly walked to the device and moved to the next room. A large room with battlefield layout, high ceiling and columns holding it in the corners of the field part… and, of course, a tall grim person standing on the other side. I finally got there.
But one specific douchebag was standing on my way to victory and shouting at the woman before us.
"What do you mean – doesn`t accept challenges?" He was really surprised and angered.
"Ven, is this your friend?" Sabrina switched her attention to me right when I appeared. Douchebag became even more angry being ignored.
"This one? No, just a random douchebag, you may throw him out." I said and looked at my enraged companion, smiling.
"What?!" He stomped his leg and grinned. "You…"
"Okay, okay, I`ll let you watch me earning my sixth gym badge…" I approached the position of challenger and gently pushed him away.
"You… this is unfair!" He shouted, addressing more Sabrina than me now.
"I don`t remember you fighting on our side against Team Rocket…" Sabrina strictly shushed Douchebag. "So you may get lost with your claims!"
Wow, she`s harsh. But that`s correct. Douchebag needs someone to put him on his place.
"Yeah, I won`t remind you where YOU have been during the Saffron assault…" I hinted a little for him to shut up. "If you behave well, I`ll ask Sabrina to take you too today." This had the effect, and he retreated to the viewer bench near the wall.
At last, just for some minutes I will have more badges than Douchebag. Such small victory for me… and so big loss for him at the same time.
"Ah… Now, as no one is going to disturb us, shall we begin?" I smiled and addressed Sabrina. "You know what I`m here for."
"Yes, I know. But don`t think I will go easy on you. Show me everything you`ve got!"
The lights surrounded our room, the large screen appeared on the ceiling and students began to surround us. Everyone wishes for a show.
"The battle between the challenger Vengeance and gym leader Sabrina is about to begin!" The familiar voice of Cameron reached us. "The battle is going to be one-on-one, with four pokemon on each side. Only the challenger is allowed to make substitutions, and… begin!"
The woman smiled and grabbed her first pokeball, staring at me.
"Let`s go. Kadabra, I choose you!" Leader Sabrina began the battle, sending out her psi pokemon on the field. The low creepy yellow thing with a spoon… I never liked this pokemon.
"Okay, the battle of smart asses begins! Dumpling, head on!"
I sent my ace pokemon first to open this ceremony. He greeted me spreading his wings wide and throwing the flame high up.
"Pffft, poser…" Douchebag commented us from behind.
But I ignored him and focused on battling.
"Dumpling, begin with Wing Attack!" I gave the first command.
"Kadabra, use Future Sight!" Sabrina ordered calmly.
Wow… That thing managed to surprise me. I don`t remember her having that move earlier. And I don`t know what this move does! Judging by her cunning smile, she expected that.
But, anyway, the battle has begun. My pokemon ran towards the enemy, while Kadabra performs her cursed spell. The eyes and hands of this pokemon glowed in mystic light, and suddenly a rift appeared in the air above. After that a large energy pulse headed up too, being sucked into that thing like into a small Black hole that looked cool, but… it did nothing. Looks like his thing missed. It would be really powerful to get a blast THAT big in the face.
Meanwhile, Kadabra finished casting right before Dumpling managed to hit her badly with his right wing.
"Let`s do this again, boy. Wing attack!"
"Okay, now proceed with Reflect!" Sabrina chose as her second move.
Damn it! Reflect is a very bad thing for us, as most of my pokemon specialize on physical attacks. She knows it. And she uses it. Well, next round I will have no choice.
And in this move Dumpling repeated the attack with his mighty wings, but Kadabra managed to create an energy shield that weakened the power of strike. Charizard jumped back and growled at his cunning opponent. But his opponent was already weak, getting two pretty good hits. Another one will be enough.
"Well, now we switch to Flamethrower, Dumpling!" I gave the command. "Finish her!"
"Use Psybeam, Kadabra!"
Now it`s a battle of range attacks. And we`re losing it, because as I noticed, Kadabra has slightly faster reaction than we do. So, two projectiles – a psychic ray and a fire stream headed towards the pokemon, hitting each other hard and throwing back. Maybe those two were critical hits.
Dumpling roared displeased, getting up after this, and his opponent… remained to lie down.
"Kadabra is unable to battle, and Charizard is the winner!"
Really? No, this doesn`t feel right… Sabrina`s pokemon just couldn`t give up that easily. Kadabra managed to create a barrier that continues to protect her next pokemon, but still… This woman has a real plan, a trick, just like Erika did. I need to figure it out!
"Fine, Kadabra, return…" She said while switching the active pokemon. "Mr. Mime, you`re next!"
So, it`s that creepy bastard again. I continue to add new pokemon to my black list.
"Be careful with this one, Dumpling." I warned my Charizard. "Don`t believe your eyes. And start with Flamethrower."
"It`s no use…" Sabrina evilly whispered. "Psybeam, !"
And so it goes again… Just like the last time, the battle of range attacks, with one exception – our was faster this time. The powerful stream of fire hit the barrier pokemon and burned for good, meanwhile the psychic ray struck Charizard too. My pokemon shook his head and roared at the opponent.
But then suddenly the crack in air appeared again, the one from earlier. This time the blast of energy appeared from it and headed towards my shocked Dumpling. He was so confused that couldn`t even move, and this menace exploded him with huge power, throwing back into the wall and finishing for good.
"Charizard is unable to battle, and Mr. Mime is the winner!" Cameron announced the result.
How can this be? The blast disappeared in the past… and appeared to land a hit in the future. It this how Future Sight works? Sends attacks through time itself? How cool is that to have a pokemon that can send crap through time? Damn, what else are these crazy creatures capable of?
But this is a thing to think about later. Right now I`m losing a battle!
"Go back, Dumpling. You did well…" I returned my pokemon and looked at the remained capsules.
I didn`t expect it to be that quick, and just two pokemon that are not weak to psychics are Dumpling and Lei Sheng. All the rest are half-poison, as Leaf noticed someday, and this is actual problem. And I wouldn`t like to send my trump card right now – so I have not much of a choice.
"Okay, Reaper, now it`s your turn!" I decided the next battler and sent him to the field. Let him be weak to psychic types, his bug-type moves will counter that. "Let`s Twineedle him!"
"Fine, then… Mr. Mime, begin with Barrier!" Sabrina reacted.
Oh, I remember that move. Bad, bad move – with this all my physical attacks against this pokemon will weaken. Damn it… I hope the power will be enough.
The barrier pokemon raised his hands up and began to move in the air, forming a blue barely visible wall. When my Reaper reached him and struck with his stings, Mr. Mime barely felt it.
"Focus on your goal… Use Calm Mind!" Sabrina ordered her pokemon.
"Reaper, repeat the Twineedle!"
This time opposing pokemon just closed his eyes, making some sort of meditation. The bright red aura glowed around him once, empowering him. But that didn`t stop my Beedrill from landing another super effective, but a bit weakened hit.
For some reason, Sabrina decided to repeat this again. It seems like she`s going to gain as much strength as she can before we finish her Mr. Mime. That means we need to hurry and finish him even faster. So we continued our assault, using our Twineedle and Pin missile moves. One turn… And another… and another, until…
Mr. Mime was glowing brightly, all the energy he has collected was bursting outside. But he was weak by body, suffering a lot of hits from us and barely standing. Just another attack – and that`s all. But Sabrina had an opinion of her own.
"And now, Mr. Mime, use Baton Pass!"
What the hell is Baton Pass? Doesn`t sound too dangerous, but…
The clown-like pokemon raised his right hand squeezed his finger. The white glow enveloped him and turned into an beam… returning back to his originated pokeball and leaving a cloud of red energy. Smiling Sabrina had another one prepared, and she used it immediately to send the next monster.
A Butterfree-like pokemon, but looking much more dangerous. He took the place of Mr. Mime and absorbed the energy remained from previous battler, also getting a hit from Reaper that didn`t care about who to punch. Too bad the bug-type attack went too weak on this new menace.
"Wait a second, aren`t gym leaders forbidden to substitute their pokemon?" I reminded her the rule.
"Not only if it is a move itself!" Sabrina gladly explained.
So, there are exceptions, great! I`m frigging love when the rules change in the process. Well, let`s try to do something about it…
"Venomoth, use Psybeam!" The gym leader addressed her partner.
"Reaper, hold on for a bit…" I wanted to switch to another pokemon for now, but the intuition told me that I should wait. And I did. "Switch to Matrix Mode!"
The colorful ray shot from the eyes of the enemy and, being crazy empowered by the red aura, struck my pokemon like a lightning and finished him right at the place. I still haven`t seen a move such powerful, and neither did Reaper. He lost.
"Beedrill is unable to battle, and Venomoth is the winner!"
Is this pokemon alone so powerful or is this the effect of Calm Mind that somehow passed to him from Mr. Mime? Could this be the work of Baton Pass? And what`s the most important – what the heck do I have to do with Venomoth that one-shots my pokemon?
I silently returned poor Reaper back and thought deeply.
Dumpling would be perfect match against Venomoth, but he is already out of the game. And I know that even more powerful pokemon is waiting for me in the end, and I want to save Lei Sheng at any cost. Harry and Loser have nothing against this foe… So Moment and his speed is my only hope.
"Fly the sky, Moment!" I have sent the third pokemon out. The battle becomes hotter with each second…
One powerful hit could be enough to finish my Moment, I understand that. So we need to be fast, agile and dodge EVERY Psybeam Sabrina throws at us.
"Okay, Moment, activate Matrix Mode and start with Confuse Ray!" I proceeded to the next round.
"All we need is one good shot… Psybeam!" The command from gym leader followed.
Now we have the advantage – the extreme speed of my Golbat should be enough to attack first and dodge attacks that come from the opponent. Of course, Moment will need to focus on the enemy attacks, and that will affect his own power, but we have to take the chance.
So, Golbat shot a ray of his own first, striking the enemy with confusion. Then Venomoth quickly tried to recover after that and shot another psychic ray, but my Moment flew back, barely dodging it. Yeah, he`s gonna live another round!
"You can`t run for eternity!" The woman threatened me. "We will get you. Psybeam one more time!"
"Keep dodging, Moment, this is the most important thing now! And use Wing Attack again!"
The heat is rising… The end is near.
Golbat rushed to his opponent, carefully moving with his spiral style, ready to dodge the counterattack from the enemy. The hit from us was quick and powerful – Venomoth was thrown back, and hit the wall. But that was still not enough to finish him – on the opposite, he threw a determinate look on Moment and launched a focused energy blast at him. This struck my pokemon extremely hard, throwing him back at the ceiling, crushing on contact once and then – on falling again.
"Moment… can you… continue?" I asked my partner quietly and carefully.
The large wing rose high up and struck the floor. This helped Golbat to jump back into the air and get flying again. He is extremely beaten, but with his last breath the battle continues.
"Ugh, what stubborn pokemon…" Sabrina shook her head in disapproval. "Give it one last Psybeam, Venomoth!"
"Corkscrew maneuver!"
Yeah, the moment of glory for my Moment. I wished to use this thing someday in such fashion. My Golbat flew high and spread his wings over the foe, and then rushed down, pushing limbs to his body and spinning like crazy, until the collision struck Venomoth and pressed into the floor. After this the poison moth pokemon just couldn`t continue fighting, and Moment flew away victorious.
"Venomoth is unable to battle, Golbat wins the round!" The announcement sounded.
"Well, that was impressive." The gym leader smiled, returning her fallen pokemon. "Among all your tricks I know this one is really interesting."
"I like to impress people" I gladly nodded and crossed my hands. "A battle isn`t interesting if it is boring!"
"…can`t argue with that." A bit confused, Sabrina replied. "Nevermind. The battle is going on."
And then she released her previous battler – Mr. Mime, the clown-like pokemon.
"Let`s make this quick, Moment." I threw my right hand forward, giving an order. "Bite!"
"Psybeam!"
One hit is enough to take out each of them. And that`s exactly what happened.
The barrier pokemon launched a psychic beam into my Golbat, hitting him badly right between the eyes, but the bat pokemon continued to fly forward by inertia and fell down on Mr. Mime, stinging with his fangs. Both pokemon fell at the same time.
"Both Mr. Mime and Golbat are unable to battle!" Cameron announced with a bit of confusion in his voice. He didn`t expect a draw, but he knows this is not the end. Yet.
The silence fell upon the battlefield for some time. Even Douchebag was quietly watching over us, waiting for the conclusion. I don`t know who was he voting for – possibly, not me.
"So, it`s just one pokemon from each side now…" Sabrina said, seriously looking at me.
"Yes, it is…" I replied and grabbed the greatball from my shoulder belt. "I know what`s yours gonna be."
"And I know about yours…" Gym leader answered and carefully took her ultraball.
"Then let`s do this!" I shouted and threw the capsule on the field. Sabrina did the same, and two new monsters appeared between us.
From Sabrina`s side – the humanoid-like yellow pokemon with long pointy face, moustache and spoons in his hands. The psi pokemon – Alakazam. Actually considered one of the strongest pokemon in Kanto.
From my side – the huge long monstrosity that – according to PokeDex – is capable of erasing the cities in his rage. The atrocious pokemon – Gyarados, named Lei Sheng.
"I heard that your Magikarp evolved." Sabrina said while observing my pokemon. "And really wished to test it in battle."
"Your wish is my command, milady!" I bowed playfully. "The battle it is. Lei Sheng, start with Bite!"
"Alakazam, Psychic!" The answer from Sabrina was immediate and merciless.
As my Gyarados rushed to his opponent with his fangs ready to pierce the enemy, our opponent wasn`t waiting. Alakazam threw his right spoon in the air, leaving it to hover with some psychic power, and then focused his eyesight at approaching six-meter-long Lei Sheng. The purple aura surrounded both pokemon, but only mine was lifted in the air an blasted by the powerful explosion that threw him back.
Wow… He had lifted a couple-hundredweight monster and threw him like nothing! That is definitely a pokemon we should not mess with.
"Lei Sheng, get up! Try Bite again!" I gave the command to my partner while he was recovering from a hit like this.
"Don`t let it close, Alakazam. Psychic again!"
The result was almost the same – we didn`t even got close to the psi pokemon as he just pushed Lei Sheng away from him, hitting even stronger than before. My Gyarados is quite hard pokemon, but if this continues - everything eventually comes to an end.
Damn, and that`s her strategy? Throwing my pokemon away until he`s finished? The worst thing is that this strategy actually works! The best thing… I predicted it to happen. But I can`t use my counterstrategy yet, it will not be enough.
"Hide behind that column!" I told my Lei Sheng. I expected that this thing is big enough to give cover even for my huge Gyarados.
"Ha! No hiding from us!" The gym leader shouted with determination. "Blast the column with Psychic!"
She doesn`t bother much about her own gym. I like it, because it`s in my favor.
This time Alakazam focused his power on the structure before my Lei Sheng. Just a single motion of hand – and it was blasted into pieces, small and big.
"Great! Now Tackle the rubble into him!" I gladly commanded to my pokemon.
That worked extremely good – the physical strength of Gyarados exceeds all limits, and the pieces of column, broken by Alakazam and thrown by Lei Sheng, went straight at our foe, hitting him multiple times and even drop to the ground.
Sabrina was caught by surprise with this maneuver, and grinned angrily. She definitely doesn`t want to lose.
But suddenly instead of cheering her pokemon somehow, she stared at him and… her eyes began to glow. She didn`t say a thing, and her Alakazam quickly got back to feet and took a battle stance.
The brutal look on Sabrina`s face reminded me of something… Yeah, the same brutal look her Alakazam has right now! This could be the psychic link I heard about. Oh, I`m in trouble now…
Then her pokemon began to glow green, slowly healing his wounds from our previous rubble attack. He began to execute the order without the order itself! Or did he?
"Stop him, Lei Sheng! Bite him!"
We used this moment to attack again, and this time we succeeded. Alakazam healed almost all of his wounds, but Gyarados crunched his shoulder, causing the extreme pain to that pokemon. For some reason, Sabrina`s shoulder twitched a bit too. Looks like this psychic link has its side effects.
Still, I suspect she is giving him new orders telepathically, so I can`t hear them at all. But I can predict her! I`m pretty sure she is going to use Psychic next turn, so we could turn it in our favor again…
I looked at other columns. Yes, they are perfect.
"Lei Sheng…" I called out to my pokemon and pointed at the nearest pillar. "Position yourself!"
He understood me and quickly headed to the point I need, until I said "Position!" again. So, now Gyarados stands on a line between Alakazam and the column. When the opponent throws Lei Sheng back, we can just ricochet from the column and attack in return. Great plan!
I looked at Sabrina and caught her cunning look on me. She has some plan of her own.
"Fine, Alakazam… Throw Gyarados with Psychic… to the left!"
What?! She has spoiled my whole plan! It`s like… she knew it. She read it.
Suddenly her old words appeared in my mind. "You do not resist when you`re focused on something…" I remember them!
Damn, Sabrina, you`re still here? How dare you read my mind while the battle is going on, damn it!
She didn`t reply me immediately, but I felt a bit of… freedom from intruders in my mind. The gym leader left me for some time, and I have to plan something against her. Now it`s not only pokemon battling on a field… Their trainers battle in their minds too.
But during our mind battle the real one didn`t stop. Alakazam fiercely moved my Gyarados aside the way and pressed into the wall, crushing it. Without my direct command, Lei Sheng just tried to survive this assault.
"Okay, listen here, big boy…" I began to instruct my pokemon. "Bite this thing. Bite him with all you might! Give him everything you have! Unleash your rage!"
Then I switched to Sabrina – she looked a bit worried. She used a lot of Psychic attacks in this battle, and her pokemon may not succeed in performing another one. She has to go defensive!
Again, she said nothing aloud – but telepathically her Alakazam did get the command and took the stance, ready to dodge our attack.
So, as my Lei Sheng gathered up and then jumped on the opponent, I made my own move. The feeling of slight press on my mind exists – that means, Sabrina is reading me right now. She sees everything I see, she hears everything I think… So, I thought about… her naked. Me naked. Having some fun together. Adult fun…
"Ah!" Woman squeaked from surprise and shock, and so did her Alakazam, still linked to her.
Losing the focus, our opponent remained defenseless for our attack, and Lei Sheng successfully bit the Alakazam, critically hitting him.
Sabrina shook her head, recovering from all this, and then angrily shouted aloud, not caring anymore about secrecy:
"Throw him away with Psychic, and then – Recover!"
I couldn`t suppress my smile, looking at the position of pokemon. The time has come.
"Lei Sheng… Spinning Tooth maneuver!"
Finally, the fact that opponent`s reaction is faster, worked in my favor. The explosion from Alakazam`s Psychic threw my Gyarados right at the column, just like I wanted. But Lei Sheng flew a bit right and grabbed it, flying forward by inertia, and then… swung around the pillar and flew back. Alakazam began to glow green, trying to restore his powers, and right at this moment my Lei Sheng grabbed his head, made a perfect front flip and crushed the psychic monster into the ground.
The dust went really high, and when it dissolved… Alakazam was lying there, unconscious.
"Alakazam is unable to continue! Gyarados wins the battle and challenger Vengeance wins the whole match!"
A huge wave of applauds almost knocked me down. I didn't even notice how many people gathered here to watch me battling – not only Sabrina`s students – there were regular citizens, some people I trained during the preparations, even a couple of trainers from other gyms. Mikey from Brock`s gym was there, clapping for my victory with all the might.
All of them congratulate me with my new badge… I even felt uncomfortable with that.
I noticed even Douchebag clapping together with others, but he stopped as soon as he caught my eyesight on him. Little bastard… I know the true you, no more hiding.
"So, this is really over." The gym leader walked forward, spreading her hands. "You see, Vengeance, how much you affect people? You see, how glad they are for your victory over me? You… really can infiltrate others minds, even better than me."
I made a silly smile and scratched my back of head.
"Maybe, I am just one charismatic bastard?"
"No, it`s because you possess psychic powers!" She explained. "I always wanted to prove people one simple thought – everyone has them. But not all can actually control them to be called psychics."
That`s new for me. I have psychic powers, awesome! Maybe, someday I will be able to throw things with my eyes. Ow, should I ask Sabrina about this?
"Will I be able to throw things with my eyes someday?"
"I don` think so. These strong powers appear in childhood and accompany you across the whole life. Not many people have such. But psychic abilities can be different… And you`re the proof! For saving the city, for clearing my gym challenge, for helping me to understand humanity… I present you with this Marsh badge!"
She handed me over the same gold coin-like badge again. And this time I felt myself like I`m worthy of it.
"Thank you, kind woman. I understood nothing of your lecture, but I appreciate it." I gratefully nodded and grabbed the shiny badge and quickly hid it in my pocket. I`ll place it into the case later.
"And also, I want to give you this TM. Make your mind calm when you need it."
Great, a Calm Mind technique… Well, I`m not sure if any of my pokemon can learn this, but still may be useful someday.
"Thanks…" I smiled to her, nodded and turned back to face Douchebag. He noticed me and frowned, waiting for my turn.
I slowly approached him and clapped my hands.
"Clap with me one more time, and I`ll ask Sabrina to accept you today."
He frowned even more, becoming one big angry piece of douchebag. Damn, how I like it! And what`s even better – he quietly clapped one more time. Then I nodded and turned back to the gym leader:
"Give him hell, miss Sabrina." I said and winked her. She didn`t object against taking another challenger now, and neither did he. "Great, see you this evening."
I waved at her and headed to the door, but stopped for some time. Some strange feeling said me that I shouldn`t hurry… Because watching Douchebag`s battle against Sabrina can provide me with a bunch of experience.
So I took place on a bench and prepared myself to see something awesome.
And something awesome it was… After a quick heal, Sabrina took her second challenger. The battle began with her Kadabra versus Douchebag`s Arcanine. The mighty legendary pokemon easily defeated his first opponent, and proceeded to the next. This time Sabrina realized that her trick with Future Sight won`t work – Douchebag saw it during my battle. So she went a full assault.
Her next pokemon entered the field and tried to protect himself from Muhtar`s attacks, succeeding in it and then launching a series of powerful attacks in return, knocking out the fire pokemon.
Douchebag replaced his fallen partner with my old friend Caesar. Looks like he tied up the nasty Gengar… Someday I`ll see him in battle against me… again. But right now he is battling Mr. Mime, and battling really great! He learned some cool move named Shadow Ball that helped him defeat the opponent and remain almost untouched!
But the appeared Venomoth changed the way of battle, quickly confusing Caesar and finishing him off. Then a new pokemon from Douchebag`s side appeared – the evolved Eggman the Exeggcute – Exeggutor. A crazy alive palm tree… But Douchebag didn`t took in count that Venomoth`s half-bug type nature is extremely dangerous for grass/psychic pokemon. During my battle Sabrina didn`t use the simple move Leech Life, but now it became very handy, biting Exeggutor and healing Venomoth. This round of battle went longer than expected, and resulted in a draw, just like I had.
Finally, it is Sabrina`s Alakazam versus Douchebag`s Quartz – who else could be in the finals? That was some tough battle, with both pokemon giving their best. And right at this point… I decided to leave.
With an evil smile on my face, I exited the gym and headed back to Pokemon Center. I already know the result, and I also need to get prepared for my date with Sabrina. Douchebag is going to be my next target after her, as he still owns me… And I know precisely where to look for him when needed…
