11. MoM part 2, Goldenrod Gym Take 3

-chapter 11 The mystery of Myrenthall part 2-

It wasn't long before that annoying wizard approached the car, Donovan was still inside and out of sight and I was too weak to fight. He muttered some nonsensical words and I quickly fell asleep, not that it really mattered, I was finding it hard to stay awake as is.

I awoke in a dark room strapped to a chair.

Still injured, I was never taking potions for granted again. I felt just a little better though, like my wounds had a bit of time to heal. The first question on my mind was how long had I been out?"

Then I began to wonder where I was.

Then I realized that Myrenthal had kidnapped me.

I saw him at the far side of the room.

Me:"Really?"

-confused- Me:"Look buddy I don't know what your game is but I don't swing that way."

Myrenthal:"What?"

Myrenthal :"Quiet you."

-somewhat angry- Myrenthal:"Where isssss my helllmet?"

-unsure- Me:"I don't know...it wasn't in the car you took me out of?"

Me: "I blacked out before we left the building, I don't know what happened to it."

Me: "And you're not getting it back, you might as well forget about that, there's no way we're letting you have that much power."

Me: "Especially if you're just going to use it to watch porn in a movie theatre, I mean seriously what a waste. You don't even need powers for that... "

He punched me, though he wasn't too strong so it didn't hurt too much.

-defensively- Myrenthall:"I've other plansss..."

-mockingly- Me :"Ahh...isn't that cute, you're trying to interrogate me..."

Me: "-sighs-, you don't realize how screwed you are."

Me:"I wouldn't be surprised if they sent the entire division after you."

Myrenthal: "They don't know where I am."

Me: "They'll find out...they've done it before."

Myrenthal:"It's been three moonssss now boy, and they still haven't found ya yet, they may never find ya, maybe they've quit looking."

Me: "I know my wife, it doesn't matter if I'm alive or not, she'll hunt you down to the ends of the...planet? Until she either finds me or kills you."

Me:"May I ask why the hell am I still alive?"

Me:"You could have killed me by now couldn't you?"

Me:"So you must be trying to use me to get your helmet back."

Me :"I told you already, you ain't getting it back, you aren't getting my wife, you aren't going to win, so why don't you just go back to your world? You can go back to your castle, back to your minions, you can do whatever kind of evil crap you were doing before you even knew this world existed, and we won't bother you again."

Me: "Or you could keep this crap up and we'll kick your ass and toss you back in anyway."

Myrenthall: "Fooooool!"

He slapped me and yelled in my ear.

Myrenthall: "That world hassss nothing elsssse to offer me."

Myrenthall: "But theesss...theessss world.."

Myrenthall: "So many possibilitys..."

Myrenthall: "I can see all kinds of naked women ...on the magic screen..."

Me: "Really... that's it?"

Myrenthall: "There are horseless carriages, and miniature handheld cannons!"

Myrenthall: "There are giant metal birds that people travel on..!"

Myrenthall: "There are creatures with amazing powers..."

Myrenthall: "And one day they will all belong to me.."

Me: "Well then I hope you like waiting in line."

Myrenthall: "What?"

Me: "You really think you're the only one with ambitions like that?"

Somebody kicked the door in with a loud bang.

-in disbelief- Myrenthall: "Impossible..."

Phoebe threw him against the wall so hard I heard his bones break...as expected...she was pissed.

Phoebe: "CJ!"

She ran up to me and hugged me

-lovingly- Phoebe: "arceus, I thought you were gone forever."

Me: "Baby girl?"

She continued to hold me.

Me:"Myrenthall is getting away."

Myrenthall managed to stand, and was preparing to teleport.

Phoebe:"We'll get him some other time, I missed you."

Me: "I've only been gone for ..."

-interupting- Phoebe: "It's been three days."

Another agent came into the room, spotted Myrenthall and tried to arrest him.

Unknown Agent: "Freeze!"

Of course it was too late and Myrenthall teleported away before he could do anything.

Me:"Crap, he wasn't kidding."

Phoebe:"I got you some potions."

She untied me.

Phoebe:"Can you stand?"

-unsure- Me: "Three days?"

I try to stand, my back felt like it was going to snap.

Me:"My legs are all numb."

-strained- Me:"My back... is really stiff."

Phoebe:"Hey come here! He needs help."

She helped me stand and along with the other agent they were able to help me out of the room. My entire body was stiff and sore, both from my injuries and from being knocked out for so long. Myrenthall was gone...to who knows where.

-relieved- Phoebe:"The children missed you so much."

Phoebe:"Charley keeps saying he wants to see you and Nina keeps asking where you are and when you're going to come home, and I just don't know how to answer them."

Me :"Well atleast I'm back now...I guess."

Me: "I could say I missed you but to me I just saw you a few minutes ago when we dropped you off at the warehouse.. or was that a dream?."

Phoebe: "Oooohhhh Cj.."

Phoebe:"That was real."

She led me to her camaro which was parked outside.

Me: "Did you get the car back?"

Phoebe: "Not yet"

Phoebe: "They got the door repaired but they're painting it now."

Me: "Oh...ok."

Phoebe: "Now wait here I'll get you some potion."

She got a bottle of super potion out of the trunk, and then she helped me out of my shirt.

-shocked- Phoebe: "Oh arceus..."

Me: "What?"

-sick- Phoebe: "-gags-..."

Me: "is it really that bad?"

Phoebe: "-sighs-, I hope this works."

Phoebe: "It looks like it got infected."

Me: "Greaaaaaat."

-disgusted- Phoebe: "Really it looks so gross..."

-disgusted- Phoebe:"ugh...It smells terrible."

-disgusted- Phoebe: "You look like a zombie.."

Me: "Sorry."

Phoebe: "Ohhh, it's not your fault, hold still."

I felt the cold potion on my back as she sprayed it on.

I felt a weird bubbling sensation as it began to take effect.

Phoebe: "Ok some of them are healing."

Phoebe: "Eww... all the infected stuff is falling off."

Me: "Sorry."

Phoebe: "It's allright as long as it makes you better."

Phoebe: "Ok it's starting to clear up."

About a minute later.

Phoebe: " Finally, now all your cuts are gone."

Phoebe: "Does your back still hurt? Do you need more?"

Me:"Yeah just a bit."

Phoebe:"Ok."

Phoebe: "I brought you some fresh clothes too..."

Me: "Awe baby girl.."

Before long I was feeling good as new, and we were on our way home.

Me:"So where's the skyline?"

Phoebe:"I sold it."

Me:"You what?"

Phoebe:"-giggles-."

Me:"That's not funny."

Phoebe:"Oh honey relax it's nice and safe in the garage."

Phoebe:"Corina helped me bring it home."

Me:"Ok."

Me:"Wait..."

-concerned- Me:"You drove it?"

Phoebe:"Mhm."

Phoebe:"One of us had too."

Phoebe:"I promise I didn't scratch it."

Me:"Ehh...its allright, I trust you babe."

-cheerfully- Phoebe:"The kids are going to be so happy to see you."

Me:"I'm eager to see them as well."

Me:"If I've really been gone for three days."

Me:"Pheebles, I'm so sorry."

Phoebe:"It's not your fault. And you're back now, and I love you, and I'm never letting you out of my sight again, and Myrenthall is going to pay."

Me:"Got that right, it look like you hurt him pretty good that time, I don't think he knows how to use potions so he's going to be pretty sore for awhile."

Phoebe:"Hehe, that's nothing compared to what I will do if he messes with our family again."

-playfully- Me: "And what are you going to do?"

Phoebe: "...I don't know."

Me: "Hehe.."

Me:"Are my pokemon ok?"

Me:"Oh wait they're still in my pocket."

Phoebe:"-giggles.-"

Me: "All this time he never checked my pockets."

Phoebe: "He was probably afraid he'd let them out."

Me:"Yeah probably."

Me:"Or he's just a moron."

Phoebe:"Maybe."

-realizing- Me: "Um...can we stop somewhere to eat, I am really hungry."

Phoebe: "Well you haven't eaten in three days so that's not surprising."

Phoebe: "I'll get you something once we get home..ok?"

Me :"Ok."

We finally arrived home a half hour later.

Nina hugged me as soon as I walked through the door.

Nina: "Dad?!"

Me: "Oh hey Nina."

Nina: "Dad where were you?"

Me: "I don't really know..."

Nina: "I missed you."

Me: "I missed you too."

Nina: "Mom said you were at the hospital."

Me: "Um...your mother says alot of things."

-somewhat irritated- Nina: "I knew she was lying..."

Nina:"Did they hurt you?"

Me:"Sweety I was asleep most of the time, I barely felt anything."

Me: "And don't be mad at your mother for lying, sometimes its for your own good you don't know the truth."

-concerned- Nina: "What is the truth?"

Me :"Truth is I'm back now, crap happens sometimes...and that's all you need to know about what happened."

-from the kitchen- Phoebe: "Nina...just let it go, your father and I will take care of things."

-from the kitchen- Phoebe:"Now stop bothering him with your questions dear...he's a bit confused and disoriented, he needs time to think about things."

I saw Charley over by the tv, so I picked him up and then took a seat on the couch.

-surprised- Charley :"Dawhy..!"

Me: "Hey little guy."

Charley: "Weh you go?"

Charley: "Cawey dunno..."

Me: "I don't really know either."

-cheerfully- Me :"But I'm back now ok?"

-cutely- Charley:"Kayyyy."

Me:"Hehehe."

Nina sat down beside me.

Me:"Hey sweetheart."

-solemnly- Nina:"Are you really my father?"

Me:"Not biologically...you know that."

Nina:"No...are you "really" him?"

Me:"What makes you think I'm not?"

Nina:"How do I know he didn't die and you're just a clone?"

Me:"How do I know you, your mother, and Charley didn't die while I was gone and you're all just clones...?"

Me:"What makes you think I died...?"

Me: "I think you've been watching too much tv."

She quieted down.

Phoebe came into the livingroom.

Phoebe:"Here Cj, I made you a sandwhich so you can get something in you."

-lovingly- Phoebe: "I know it's not much, but I have more food on the way, and this will help you hold out until it's ready."

She set the plate on the stand next to me.

Phoebe:"I'll have dinner ready for all of you in a little bit as well."

Nina:"Ok."

Me:"Thanks babe."

Phoebe:"Mhm."

She headed back into the kitchen.

It didn't take me long to finish that sandwhich, afterwards it made me feel alot better, even though I still felt hungry..

I spent the afternoon on the couch, watching tv with my kids, too weak to really do anything else.

It was a slow, somewhat painful afternoon, but eventually the day came to an end and Phoebe and I went up to bed, a bit earlier than usual.

-in bed-

Phoebe:"Are you starting to feel better?"

Me:"I think I'll be back to normal by tomorrow."

Phoebe:"Good."

Phoebe:"Because we all need you."

Phoebe:"We're taking the day off tomorrow."

Me:"Ok."

Phoebe:"They told me you would need time to recooperate, and I agreed."

Me:"Anything happen while I was gone?"

Phoebe:"Not much..."

Phoebe:"They repaired the door on the car.

Me:"Ok."

Phoebe:"I took care of the kids, which wasn't very easy without you."

Phoebe:"I was so worried about you."

Phoebe:"I haven't been so scared since that time I thought you were dead."

-unsure- Me:"Huh?"

Phoebe:"You don't remember that?"

-realizing- Me:"Oh...yeah...that was a long time ago."

Phoebe:"About a year after we first met?"

Me:"Mhm."

Phoebe:"I've been having problems sleeping.."

Phoebe:"I've been lying on the couch alot, because I've been so tired."

-stressed-Phoebe: "And of course, without you Charley needs my constant attention."

Me: "Well... now you can finally get some rest."

I wrapped my arms around her and gave her a kiss goodnight.

Phoebe: "-sighs-, I hope so."

Me :"Goodnight baby girl."

Phoebe: "Goodnight."

We both fell asleep sometime later...

I woke up, really early, after all I had just slept for three days straight, sleep was the last thing I needed at this point.

After trying to figure out what I was going to do with all this extra time, I decided to make breakfast in bed for Phoebe, because I still felt guilty for just not being there. The sun wasn't up yet, everyone else was fast asleep, and I was fully dressed and in the kitchen making razz berry pancakes and toast. For some odd reason we had more berries than fruit. The pokemon world didn't have any fruit really, most things that would be called fruits or veggies were universally called berries instead. Even though some berries were technically fruit, it was just one of the strange differences between the two worlds.

Once I had everything I was planning to make completed, the sun was just starting to come out. So I waited for a little bit before taking everything upstairs.

-softly- Me:" Pheebles...baby you awake?"

-half asleep- Phoebe:"Awa...slee mo..."

Me:"Huh?"

-half asleep- Phoebe:"Whas goee ah?"

Phoebe:"Cj where'd you go...why aren't you here?"

She noticed I wasn't lying next to her.

-worried- Phoebe:"If you got kidnapped again.."

She finally opened her eyes...

-calmly relieved- Phoebe:"Oh...there you are..."

-confused- Phoebe:"Why aren't you in bed? You had me worried for a second!"

Me:"Sorry baby I just couldn't sleep, I've been asleep for three days straight..I just don't need anymore sleep right now.."

Phoebe:"You could have said something."

Me:"But I didn't want you to know."

-unsure- Phoebe:"Know what?"

Me:"That... I made you breakfast.."

-unsure- Phoebe:"What?"

I set the tray on her lap.

Me:"Because I love you baby."

Phoebe:"Awww Cj, you didn't need to..."

Me:"I needed to make it up to you."

Phoebe:"No you didn't, it wasn't your fault."

Phoebe:"But, if it was,... this would make up for it."

-lovingly- Phoebe:"So... thankyou."

Me:"No problem."

Me:"You're welcome."

Phoebe:"Can you get back in bed now?"

-playfully-"Phoebe:"I'm cold..snuggle with me."

Me:"Allright."

I stripped down and got back in bed with her as she began to eat.

Me:"It's kinda hard to snuggle when you're siting up."

Phoebe:"Yeah..that's ok, I just want you beside me for now."

Me:"Ok."

Phoebe:"Ok so...why are these pancakes pink?"

Me:"Try it and find out."

She took a bite.

-while eating- Phoebe:"Oh...I see..."

Phoebe: "You put razz berries in them."

Me:"Yeah, I thought oran berries would be a little strange."

Oran berries had a similiar flavor to oranges, and to me, orange-flavored pancakes just didn't sound like something that should exist. Razz beries, which were a strange combination of a normal raspberry with just the slightest hint of pepper, seemed like a more suitable choice.

Me:"I put them in the blender with the batter."

Phoebe: "It's not bad."

Me: "I was hoping you'd like them."

Phoebe: "This is way too much syrup though."

Me: "Sorry..."

Phoebe: "It's ok."

Phoebe:"So, since you were able to do this, you're feeling better then ?"

Me:"Mhm."

Phoebe:"Good."

-a few minutes later.-

Me:"You almost done baby girl?"

Phoebe:"Almost."

Me:"Ok."

- about a minute later-

Phoebe: "Ok done."

Me: "Allright."

Me: "I'll take the tray back down then."

Phoebe: "Ok, but then you better get your butt back up here."

Me:"hehe."

-seductively- Phoebe:"I want desert."

-lovingly- Me:"-sighs-, you crazy girl."

I set the tray back in the kitchen then headed upstairs where she was waiting for me.

-concerned- Phoebe: "Um Cj, before we start anything..."

Phoebe: "We don't have to if your not feeling up to it."

I got in bed and pulled her close.

Me :"I'll be allright baby."

-lovingly- Phoebe: "-giggles- if you say so."

We started to make out, which eventually led to sex, in about an hour we were laying in bed naked, snuggling, quietly dreading Charley's inevitable awakening which would put an immediate end to our little morning romance.

Phoebe: "...I needed that..."

-lovingly- Phoebe: "I missed you soooooo much."

Me :"Yeahhh..it felt like we hadn't done it for a while..."

Me: "I guess I really have been gone for three days.."

Phoebe: "-giggles-."

Phoebe: "...Charley should wake up within the next 30 minutes or so."

Phoebe: "Maybe a little later because he hasn't been sleeping well either."

Me: "Really?"

Phoebe: "On the second day you were gone he began to cry around midnight, and when I went to check on him, he calmed down and kept asking me where you were."

Phoebe: "I was worried too, but I forced myself to get some sleep for Charley's sake."

Me:"I wish I could make it up to you."

Me:"I didn't want to put you through that."

Phoebe:"You already made it up to me you goofball."

Phoebe:"And I know its not your fault."

Phoebe:"So Just let it go Cj, there's no reason to be sorry."

Me:"But I was weak."

Phoebe:"You were injured, we ran out of potions, same thing could have happened to me."

Phoebe:"Now let it go."

-playfuly- Phoebe:"you can pway with my boobs if you want."

Me:"Hehe... ok..."

Phoebe:"Just don't start anything because Charley can wake up any minute."

About twenty minutes later we heard Charley crying through the wall.

-softly- Phoebe:"Why don't you go get him?"

-lovingly- Phoebe:"He missed you, it would please him to see you first today."

Me:"Allright."

Phoebe:"I'm going to go take a shower."

Me:"Ok."

We both got up, I got dressed, she just grabbed some clothes from the dresser and headed to the shower completely naked, not that it really mattered, it was just down the hall.

I watched her walk away for a moment, knowing very well she was aware of it. The way she was moving her hips made it quite obvious she wanted me to pay attention.

Anyway, after she headed into the bathroom taking a brief moment to smile at me before she left my sight, confirming my suspicions, I headed to Charley's room.

He was wide awake.

-excitedly- Charley :"Cawey see dahwhy cawey see dahwhy!"

Me: "I see you too little guy."

-cutely- Charley :"Gomawey dahwhy."

-playfully- Me: "Goodmorning."

After I got him changed and dressed I brought him downstairs, all while Phoebe was in the shower.

I made him one razzberry pancake using batter left over from earlier, and one normal pancake, in an attempt to see which one he would like more. I also made a few more pancakes for Nina whenever she woke up, at this point I ran out of razzberry batter. A few normal ones, and one last razzberry one, using up the last of the batter. And of course a sippy cup of room-temperature milk.

Me: "Ok Charley, here's your breakfast."

I set the plate of chopped up pancakes before him.

Charley: "Ancays!"

Me: "Mhm."

Nina walked in.

Nina: "Goodmorning."

Me: "Goodmorning sweetheart, how are you?"

Charley: "Newa!"

-cutely- Charley: "Howu...howayu?"

Nina: "I'm ok."

Me: "If you could watch Charley for a bit while he eats, I'll get you some pancakes."

Nina: "Ok."

Nina: "Hi Charley..."

Nina: "What kind of pancake is that?"

Me: "Razzberry."

-excitedly- Charley: "Es ancay..Newa...Cawey luh ancays.."

Nina: "I know, you say that every morning."

Me :"Hehe.."

He really did say it almost every morning.

Charley shoved a piece into his mouth and seconds later decided he didn't like it.

-upset- Charley: "es uhwy..."

-surprised- Me: "It's ugly?"

He spat it out.

Nina:"Ew.."

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey no wa..."

- a bit dissapointed- Me: "-sighs-, Charley."

Me: "Well then you can just have the normal ones."

-cutely- Charley: "Cawey no wa..."

He refused to touch his plate...despite the fact that pieces of normal pancake were on it too.

Nina: "I guess he doesn't like it..."

Me: "Hehe, I guess not, do you want one?"

Nina :"Sure..."

Me: "Allright then."

I grabbed Charley's plate and headed back into the kitchen, took all the pieces of razzberry pancake off of it, and made another plate of pancakes for Nina, before returning to the table with both plates and a glass of oran berry juice for Nina.

Me:"Ok Charley, I got you some good pancakes."

Me:"And I got your pancakes too Nina."

Nina:"Thanks."

Me:"Mhm."

Nina:"These don't taste too bad."

Nina:"I don't know why Charley doesn't like them."

Me:"Probably because he isn't used to them."

Me:"But that's just a guess."

Phoebe walked in, hair still wet from the shower.

Nina:"Hi mom."

Phoebe:"Goodmorning sweety."

She sat across from her at the table.

Me"Babygirl."

Me:"You want anything?"

Phoebe:"No, it's ok."

Me:"Ok."

Nina:"Why not mom?"

Phoebe:"Your father already made breakfast for me earlier."

Phoebe:"I don't need anything more."

-unsure- Nina:"Why did he do that?"

Phoebe:"Because he felt sorry for not being here."

Me:"Something like that."

Me:"I guess I'll just get some for myself then."

I went to get some pancakes for myself, when I came back I took a seat next to Phoebe at the table.

Nina:"How long have you been up?"

Phoebe:"Not very long maybe a couple hours or so."

Phoebe:"Sometimes we lay in bed together for awhile."

Phoebe:"Like you sometimes watch your tv for awhile before you even come out of your room."

Nina:"That reminds me, I need more tapes...I've watched all the ones I have."

Me:"Well then you'll just have to rewatch them, I don't even know where you can find those things anymore."

Nina:"Really?"

Me: "They stopped making those several years before the disaster, they were hard to find back then, I'm sure many are still around, but with the way things are now, people tend to hold on to those things until they wear out."

Nina: "They wear out?"

Me: "Yeah, the film inside them degrades over time."

Me: "But it's no big deal, we can just find some dvds."

Nina: "Ok."

Me :"So what are we going to do today?"

Phoebe :"We have the day off remember?"

Me: "Oh..."

-teasingly- Phoebe: "You sure you didn't get up too early?"

Me: "I'm sure baby girl."

Nina: "..."

Charley accidently knocked his drink off the high-chair, Phoebe caught it with her powers before it made a mess on the floor.

Phoebe: "Charley, you have to be more careful."

Me: "Nice catch."

Phoebe: "Thanks."

Nina: "I heard at school it was supposed to get really cold today."

Me: "In this world or the other?"

Nina: "The other world."

Me:"Ok, so no whirlyworld then."

Phoebe: "I think it's closed anyway, they're decorating for the league festival again."

Me: "Oh...ok."

Nina:"What about the gym...I've been training."

Me: "Is it open yet? "

Phoebe: "I don't know, last I heard it was still being repaired."

Nina: "It's been a long time."

Me: "That doesn't mean they're finished

Phoebe: "And Myrenthall is still out there."

Phoebe: "He could be looking for us."

Me: "He knows where we live, if we were his main priority he would come here."

Me :Pheebles, I don't know how, but I think he's over you."

-jokingly- Phoebe: "Because we kicked his butt, that's how."

Me: "Hehehe.."

We kissed.

-cutely- Charley:" Cawy see Mawa kees dahwhy."

Phoebe:"Mhm."

-cutely- Charley:"Cawey wa mawa kees."

Nina:"Oh brother."

-lovingly- Phoebe:"Finish your pancake sweety, then I'll kiss you."

After breakfast we decided to put on some coats and head to GoldenRod, just to find something to do. We swung by the gym just to see if it was open. There were a few men and machops on the roof, painting over the area that had recently been patched up. The gym wasn't very busy, but it did appear to be open. Because it was cold outside the machops were wearing little yellow jackets. The jackets made them look like children from a distance.

At that point we had no choice but to go in, or face a constant barrage of questions from Nina, who had brought her pokemon with her, and was ready to challenge the gym once again.

So we headed inside, Olivia was at work, battling somebody in the arena. There weren't a lot of people here, just 5 trainers were waiting in line, at this point in the year, most trainers who were planning to take part in the league had already passed through Goldenrod's gym, or had found an alternative, this year's league tournament was getting very close to starting, and most of the participants already had 8 or more badges. It was strange seeing it so empty, the last two times we were here it was completely packed.

-from the stands-

Me :"Do you think she'll actually be able to win this time without any interuptions?"

Phoebe: "I don't know."

Phoebe :"I made sure she didn't "borrow" any of our pokemon, I doubt Myrenthall will attack this place again."

Phoebe:" Unless Christine busts in here for some reason I don't see what could go wrong."

Me: "Well, don't jinx it."

Phoebe: "Hmmm..?'

Phoebe: "What's jynx have to do with this?"

Me: "Huh?"

-confused- Phoebe: "Don't jynx it?"

Me: "You don't understand the concept of jinxing?"

Phoebe: "No..."

Me: "It has nothing to do with the pokemon."

Me: "It means you say something bad that may happen."

Me: "And then it actually happens."

Phoebe: "Like predicting the future?"

Phoebe: "I can't do that."

Me: "No...welll...kind of..."

Me:"Except you don't know that your doing it."

Me:"It would be like me saying that lightbulb up there could burn out."

Me:"And then it happens shortly afterward for no apparent reason other than I said it could."

-unsure- Phoebe:"But don't all lightbulbs burn out eventually?"

Me:"Yes but I mean..."

Me:"-sighs-...nevermind."

Me:"It's like me saying a pink and green ice cream truck could crash through the wall."

Me:"And then, coincidently a few moments later a pink and green ice cream truck comes crashing through the wall."

Me:"It's just kind of a joke I guess, I don't know."

Phoebe:"Ok...I guess."

Me:"A jinx is basically a curse, ok?"

-unsure- Phoebe:"That's not how curses work but ok."

After I gave up trying to explain the concept of a jinx to Phoebe, we watched Olivia battle against all 6 of the other trainers before it was finally Nina's to say, we were very familiar with her team by now. Her Dunsparce seemed to be quicker than usual, and her other Pokémon were as strong as ever.

-kindly- Olivia: "Hehe…..Welcome back Nina."

Olivia: "I hope we'll be able to finish our battle this time without any interruptions."

Nina: "Me too."

Olivia: "Allright then, how does 3 on 3 sound?"

Nina: "It sounds good..."

Olivia: "Ok then."

Ref:"Ready for the coin flip?"

Nina:"Mhm."

Nina:"Tails."

The ref flipped a coin.

Ref:"It's tails."

Nina:"Yes!"

There were so few people in the stands the announcer was given the day off.

Ref:"Allright the terms of the battle have been agreed upon."

Ref:"Each trainer will be limited to using only three pokemon, leader will send out first.."

Ref:"Challenger are you ready?"

Nina:"Mhm."

Ref:"Leader are you ready?"

Olivia:"Mhm."

Ref:"Allright."

Ref:"3...2...1...GO!"

Olivia sent out a teddiursa, a pokemon we didn't know she had. It promptly sat down, and began to lick its paw while giving Nina a cute, unassuming look.

Olivia: " I just caught this little guy while the gym was being repaired, so he hasn't had much training yet."

Nina: "Ok."

Nina sent out her gulpin.

Nina:"Ok gulpin, this is a gym battle, get ready!"

-worried- Gulpin:"gulllllpin..."

The teddiursa cocked it's head to the side, appearing somewhat confused by it's opponent. Gulpin was kind of a strange looking creature, to be honest.

Nina: "Oh don't get worried, it's just a little teddybear."

Olivia: "I'm afraid it's a bit more than that..."

Teddiursa were a lot stronger than their small size and cute appearence would suggest, though not as strong as a fighting type, their lethal combination of cuteness and strength made them a force to be reckoned with.

Olivia:"Go on Theo use fury swipes."

Theo:"Urrrrrrr."

It stood up, and charged towars gulpin at a surprising speed.

Gulpin tried to defend itself by spitting sludge at Theo, scoring a few hits, but the bear just kept comming.

Theo eventually closed the distance and scratched him up pretty bad.

Gulpin was hurt pretty bad, but he was hanging on.

-in pain- Gulpin:"Gulllllll!"

Nina:"Hang in there."

-urgently- Olivia: "Theo stop licking your paws you'll get ..."

The bear hunched over clutching its stomach.

-in pain- Theo: "Urrrr..."

Olivia: "-sighs- poisoned..."

Theo was begining to succumb to poison, apparently from accidently consuming the sludge.

Olivia:"Return."

Nina:"Gulpin you return too, I think you need a break."

-greatfully- Gulpin:"Gull!"

Olivia: "Allright, let's go Tauros!"

-realizing- Nina:"-gasps-"

Olivia:"Last time we battled you said you wanted to fight it, so here it is."

Nina:" Go! Cobalt!"

Cobalt: "Beldum!"

It looked like Nina was at an immediate disadvantage, a tauros of the battling variety is about the size of a large dog when fully grown, weighing between 100-300 lbs, they have one of the strongest takedown attacks of all pokemon, thanks to an extremely hard skull. They're very dependable battlers that are both fast and bulky. A very dependable pokemon, and a very tough pokemon for Nina to beat.

Olivia: "This one is just a few years old, My other tauros is his father."

Nina: "Where's his mother?"

Olivia: "She belongs to my friend, she lives outside the city, they have a ranch there."

Nina: "Ok."

Contrary to popular belief, there are female tauros, it's just the males are more preffered for battling as the females lack horns and aren't nearly as strong.

Nina: "Does he know his mother?"

Olivia: "Of course, we visit her all the time."

Nina: "Ok."

Nina:"Ok Cobalt use takedown"

Olivia:"OK Ramby let's try wild charge! Go.."

-loudly- Ramby: "MOOOOOAH!"

He took off and headed straight for Cobalt. He was shaking his head in a violent manner, and I could swear I saw electricity arcing off it's horns.

The two pokemon inevitably collided, I could sware I saw and electrical flash when they did.

Cobalt was thrown back atleast ten feet, and obviously took the brunt of the damage.

-watching from the stands-

Phoebe: "-sighs-, she's never going to win that way."

Me: "Yeah, that probably wasn't the best move."

-back down in the arena-

Nina: "Cobalt? You ok?"

Thanks to it's steel body, cobalt was still conscious, but it was hurt pretty bad.

-weakly- Cobalt: "Belllll...dum..."

Ramby came to a stop, and stood dazed for about 2 seconds before regaining its composure and returning to its side of the arena.

Olivia: "Allright that was a good hit."

Nina: "What move what that?"

Olivia: "It's a new one they came out with a while ago."

Olivia: "It only works through tm."

Nina: "What about the electricity?"

Olivia:"He has a little battery pack strapped to his neck, It's voice activated when I say the name of the move and he can charge it up just by shaking his head around, it comes with the tm, though not all pokemon need it. The electricity doesn't hurt him when it flows through his horns either, although the impact hurts him a little bit."

Nina: "Ok..."

Olivia: "Your beldum doesn't look too good, maybe you should switch pokemon again."

Nina: "I was thinking the same."

Nina: "Cobalt, return."

-watching from the stands-

Phoebe: "-sighs-, she's already down to her last pokemon."

Me: "No, she's not, cobalt still has enough strength to continue."

Phoebe: "Not enough to matter."

Phoebe: "Come on Nina, think sweety..."

Me: "Hehe...it's allright Pheebles."

-back to the arena-

Nina: "Ok...come on Spike...I need your help."

She sent out her ferroseed.

Olivia: "I've never seen one of those before."

Olivia: "It's not from here is it?"

Nina: "Mhm."

Nina: "I haven't used him much yet though."

Olivia: "Ok..."

-mischeivously- Nina: "Bet you can't guess what type it is..."

Olivia: "Um...steel...? "
Olivia: "It's spikes are green...so it looks like it might be part grass type too..."

- a bit frustrated- Nina: "Darn it."

Olivia: "Your lucky I lost my flamethrower tm."

Olivia: "Lets try another wild Charge attack tauros!"

Ramby: "-grunts-"

Nina: "Ok Spike, wait for it."

-unsure- Spike: "Ferro?"

She waited for Ramby to get close.

Nina: "Gyroball! Now!"

Spike began to spin around at incredible speed, a strange sight considering he usually rolled around quite slowly.

Ramby collided with him moments later. Spike was violently flung into the wall, while Ramby was knocked to the side, barely managing to stay upright.

Spike rolled back towards Nina, surprisingly unfazed, despite colliding with the wall at high speed.

-in pain- Ramby: "MOAH!..."

The tauros shook it's head in pain.

Olivia: "It looks like you hit him pretty hard."

Olivia: "But he's not finished yet."

Ramby: "-grunts-."

Olivia: "Hit it with a tackle...take it easy for now."

Ramby once again charged towards Spike.

Nina: "Gyro ball, pin missile go!"

-from the stands- Phoebe: "No Nina!"

-unsure- Nina:"Huh? Mom!?"

Spike began to shoot spikes all over the place, somehow both Nina and Olivia were able to avoid them, Ramby was hit 4 times, the rest missed, and Ramby immediately pulled two of the spikes out and was still standing, although he was fairly injured by now.

Olivia: "Be careful!"

-nervously- Nina:"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Olivia: "Don't tell it to use combos like that if it can't aim.."

Olivia: "It could've hit you..or me, or anyone watching."

-nervously- Nina:"Please don't disqualify me again..."

Olivia:"Don't worry, we can still play this out, just don't do that again."

Olivia:"It's too dangerous."

Spike:"Ferro."

He turned and looked up at Nina.

-in the stands-

Phoebe:"-sighs-, she's allright."

Me:"It seems that way."

Phoebe:"This isn't going well."

Phoebe: "She's worked so hard."

Phoebe: "She's going to be so dissapointed if she loses."

Me: "It's all up to her Pheebles, there's nothing we can do, this is her battle."

She put her arms around me, so I just pulled her close into a hug.

-worried- Phoebe: "mmmm...poor baby..."

Me: "It's allright, she hasn't lost yet."

Phoebe: "She can't win though, that tauros is tough."

Me: "Baby girl..."

-worried- Phoebe: "We have to prepare for the worst."

Me: "True..."

Me: "But.."

Me: "She can still win."

-cutely- Charley: "Doh wowy mawa..."

-adoringly- Phoebe: "Awee Charley.."

All this time Charley had been absorbed in the action going on below, he had been completely quiet until now.

Charley:"Newa es puh tow tway."

-unsure- Me:"She's the puppet town trainer?"

-lovingly- Phoebe:"I don't think he understands what he's saying."

Me:"Me neither."

-back to the arena-

Nina:"Ok Spike, try another pin missile while he's trying to pull them out of himself."

Olivia:"Dodge it! Fight the pain!"

Ramby managed to dodge a few of the projectiles, but two more managed to hit.

Nina: "Good job Spike."

Ramby was still concious, but was having difficulty moving.

Olivia :"-sighs-, looks like you got him good."

Olivia:"Come on Ramby, one more wild charge."

-in pain- Ramby: "Moooooooah..."

He started to flail around.

Olivia: "Oh no..."

-angrilly- Ramby: "MOOOAH!"

Olivia: "You made him mad."

He charged towards Spike. Hitting him hard, but still not hurting him that much, Spike's thorns actually did more damage to Ramby on impact than Ramby did to him. Ramby was hurt pretty bad now, and even more angry.

-urgently- Olivia: "Stop attacking him like that, you're hurting yourself."

-angrilly- Ramby: "MOAH!"

-in pain- Ramby: "Mo...ah..."

He succumbed to his pain, tripped and fell down with a loud thud, barely concious.

-solemnly- Ramby:"Moooooooooooooah."

He tried to get back up, but couldn't quite get the strength.

Ref:"It's your call, He's still concious, but it doesn't look like he can do much at this point."

Olivia: "-sighs-, ok, I think that's all he can take, you win that one."

She returned him.

Olivia: "One more pokemon, you're so close to winning."

Olivia: "Unfortunately I don't think you can get passed my next one."

Nina: "We'll just have to see."

Olivia: "Indeed..."

Olivia: "Dunsparce go..."

-worried- Nina: "Ohhh..not that thing again..."

-lazily- Dunsparce: "duuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhn"

Olivia:"What did you expect?"

Olivia:"Ok dig, flamethrower, lets go."

Nina:"No not flamethrower!"

Nina:"Spike defend yourself with gyroball."

Spike began to spin around again, while dunsparce promptly burrowed underground.

Dunsparce soon came back up, popping Spike into the air, Spike hit the ground hard, and kicked up alot of dirt by continuing to spin around, so much dirt in fact that it helped to block Dunsparce's flamethrower.

-tired- Spike: "Ferro..."

He finally stop spinning, tired and somewhat dizzy.

Nina: "Pin missile, now before it goes back underground."

Spike: "Ferroseed!"

He began to fire thorns again, this time only one managed to hit dunsparce before it retreated back underground, popping up once again behing Spike, who narrowly avoided yet another flamethrower by rolling out of the way, just fast enough to avoid the flames.

Spike: "Rorororo..."

-in the stands-

Charley:"duhsar es po-e-ma."

Me:"Mhm."

-cutely- Charley: "duhsar es bur."

Me:"Yeah he can burn things with flamethrower can't he?"

Charley:"Flay-fro?"

And then Charley got an idea.

Charley:"Cawey es po-e-mah?"

Me:"Kind of."

Charley:"Cawey telpo?"

Me:"Yeah, you can teleport."

-cutely,excitedly- Charley:" Cawey flay-fro!?"

His eyes lit up, he got it in his head that he wanted to learn flamethrower, but not only was this impossible, it was also a terribly idea.

Me:"No..."

Charley: "Cawey wa bur..."

-jokingly- Me: "Great... now he's a pyromaniac..."

Phoebe:"-giggles-..Charley you goofball."

Phoebe :"You can't learn flamethrower, silly."

Phoebe: "Besides, that would be really dangerous."

-insistently- Charley: " Cawey wa bur..."

Me: "What are you going to burn anyway?"

-unsure- Charley: "Cawey dunno."

Me: "Mhm...exactly."

-unsure- Charley: "Cawey...bur...Newa po-e-ma?"

-lightheartedly- Phoebe :"Absolutely not..."

Phoebe:"-sighs-, don't worry Charley, you'll be able to do lots of cool things when you grow up, though flamethrower isn't one of them, I think you'll be happy with what you have."

Charley: "Cawey dunno."

Phoebe:"Oh...you'll see."

Phoebe:"All though I would hope by that point you don't use them to hurt people."

Phoebe:"Just go back to watching the battle sweety."

-unsure- Charley: "Hur peepo?"

Phoebe: "No...Mama doesn't want Charley to hurt people."

Charley: "Mawa no wa cawey hur peepo?"

Phoebe: "There you go."

Phoebe: "Now just go back to watching the battle sweety."

- back in the arena-

Spike was starting to slow down after avoiding multiple flamthrowers from dunsparce, he was hit with a few dig attacks, but was still going. Dunsparce was hit with several thorns, plus several more wounds caused simply by using dig on Spike, however, despite its injuries it was still going strong. As the battle progressed Dunsparce began to gain the upperhand, eventually Spike was just a bit too slow to avoid yet another flamethrower, the flames quickly enveloped him and then the ref forced Nina to return him so he wouldn't feel excrutiating pain.

-urgently- Ref:"He's on fire! Return him now before he burns to death."

-worried- Nina:"Oh no...Spike..."

She reluctantly returned him, which effectively put out the fire. Fire type moves were never very pleasant when they hit grass types, which got set on fire relatively easilly. In ferroseed's case, even though it is surrounded in a metallic shell, the shell does not protect it from fire very well and infact acts like an oven that can and will burn them from the inside out. This, oddly enough, makes it even weaker to fire than standard grass pokemon, and is also partly why steel types in general are weak to fire

Olivia:"For a pokemon you haven't used much yet, I have to admit it did surprisingly well."

Olivia:"But I'm afraid this battle is almost over, for you only have your beldum left."

Nina:"We'll just have to see about that."

She sent out Cobalt, who was already injured from earlier. This seemed like a one-sided match, with dunsparce going on the offensive and Cobalt doing all it could to simply avoid it's attacks.

Nina was holding off on comanding it to attack, knowing that if Cobalt were to attack it could put itself in a compromising position. She was tense, one wrong move at this point, and it was over.

Cobalt was beggining to panic as well as dunsparce's flamethrowers became closer to hitting him.

Nina:"Ok I have an idea."

Nina: "We don't have much to lose at this point."

Nina: "Cobalt listen carefully."

Nina:"You need to hit him the moment he opens his mouth."

Nina:"Wait until I say go and then try to hit him in his mouth."

Cobalt :"Bel...dum-dum. -that sounds crazy-"

Nina: "I know it's crazy but it's the only chance we have."

Nina:" It's the only way we can win at this point."

Cobalt: "Beldum..."

Nina: "So just keep an eye on him."

Nina started watching dunsparce's movements, trying to figure out where he was going to pop up. There was tunnel network under the arena now due to all his digging. All the while Dunsparce was getting closer and closer to landing a flamethrower on Cobalt.

Another minute passed before Nina became confident enough to attack.

Nina: "Ok he's gonna come up behind you, attack as soon as you see him."

Cobalt: "Bellll."

Dunsparce poke its head up, opened it's mouth, and before another though crossed it's mind Cobalt charged into it's mouth.

The flamethrower back fired, and because dunsparce isn't actually a fire type, he was critically wounded.

-badly wounded- Dunsparce: "Du-ughguhguh-"

He fell back into his hole, cobalt still in his mouth.

Nina: "Cobalt?"

-confused- Olivia:"What just happened?"

-weakly- Cobalt: "Bel...bellll dum...dum. -critical damage, can't take anymore-"

He slowly levitated out of the hole and immediately collapsed right beside it.

Olivia: "Dunsparce?"

Ref: "He fell back into the hole mam, I can't tell if he's ok or not without interupting the battle."

Ref:"If he doesn't respond in ten seconds I'll have to assume he's out."

Ref: "Same goes for the beldum."

Nina: "Cobalt come on, all you have to do is get up and we win."

-weakly- Cobalt: "Belllll. -I'll try-"

-in pain- Cobalt: "Belllllllllll...- systems critical- "

He was shaking, trying his best to get up.

-loudly- Cobalt: "BELLLLLLLLLLLLL! -trying anyway- "

-worried- Nina:"Cobalt?"

A bright white light surrounded him.

-from the stands-

Me: "No way..."

Phoebe: "It looks like it's time..."

-in the arena-

-worried- Nina: "Cobalt...are you ok?"

-worried- Nina:"Cobalt?"

-worried- Nina: "Cobalt...say something...please."

Olivia:"Calm down, he's fine."

Olivia: "You've never seen a pokemon evolve before have you?"

-realizing- Nina: "He's evolving?"

The light finally began to fade.

Nina: "So you're a metang now?"

-affirmatively- Cobalt: "Metannnng..."

Nina:"Hmmm."

Ref: "Dunsparce is unable to continue!"

Nina: "I won?"

Oliva: "I could send out teddiursa again, but at this point I think the winner is clear."

Olivia Go ahead and call it."

Ref: "Nina is the winner!"

Nina: "I won...we won!"

She ran out and gave Cobalt a hug, while Olivia went to retrieve dunsparce from the hole.

Olivia: "Dunsparce are you ok?"

-in pain- Dunsparce: "Duughk.."

Olivia: "Don't worry, I'll get you healed up."

She retuned him, and then turned to face Nina.

Olivia: "That was an interesting battle, it seems you have pokemon from all over the world."

Nina: "Mhm."

Olivia:"Well, there's nothing left to do now but to present you with the official badge of the Goldenrod Central Gym."

Olivia:"Congratulations."

-exstatic- Nina:"Thankyou!"

Olivia: "Mhm."

Olivia: "Come back again, anytime."

Nina: "Ok, thankyou."

Nina:"Come on Cobalt, let's go."

Cobalt:"Tannnng."

Olivia: "Good luck!'

-happily- Nina: "Thanks again."

She left the arena, and then Phoebe and I left the stands to go see her.

Phoebe: "Congratulations!"

She gave her a hug.

Me:"She didn't think you were going to win."

-surprised- Nina: "Wha?"

Phoebe: "Well I was wrong.."

Phoebe: "You did good, I'm so proud of you."

-unsure- Cobalt: "Tannnng?"

Phoebe: "You too Cobalt."

Phoebe: "What you did took alot of strength and trust, but you managed to pull it off."

Phoebe: "And now you evolved..."

Phoebe: "Isn't that great?"

Phoebe: "You should be able to do more than just takedown now."

-affirmatively- Cobalt: "Meh tang..!"

Me:"Hehe..."

Me:"Come on sweety lets get your pokemon healed."

Nina: "Ok."

Nina: "Thankyou Cobalt...I was starting to get scaired we would lose that one.."

Cobalt: "Tang..."

Nina: "Yeah maybe I was a little more than scaired..."

Nina: "So what? We won, we have two badges now!"

Nina: "Now I'm sorry but I have to return you, I don't think you can fit in the car.."

Cobalt: "Metang...tannnnnnggggg."

Nina: "No I don't think you can fly home, it's dangerous."

Nina: "Don't worry, I'll let you out again soon I promise."

She gave him another hug before returning him.

Then we all headed out into the parking, just as another challenger was entering.

We made a stop at the nearest pokemon center to heal Nina's pokemon, and then at a fast food place to get some lunch before heading home.

Once we made it home, Nina immediately headed outside to play with Cobalt, while Phoebe and I stayed inside with Charley. It was just too cold for him to be outside very long. So we tried to get him to walk again, with the usual amount of success. He could stand, but at most he could only take a few steps before falling over. And he was only willing to fall over just a few times before he would decide he didn't want to try anymore. So we had to let him go back to playing or risk him throwing a fit. Anyway, well into the afternoon Phoebe got a text from Melissa.

Phoebe:"I wonder what she wants?"

Phoebe:"Hmmm."

She sent her a text back.

Me:"What is it?"

Phoebe:"Nothing, she just wants to talk."

Me: "Pheebles if they need us we need to go.."

Phoebe: "She said we need to hurry up and get Myrenthal so the portal research can continue."

Phoebe: "It's been on hold ever since he escaped."

Me: "I thought Melissa wasn't working on that anymore?"

Phoebe: "She's still in charge of it, but she doesn't come to the lab anymore."

Me: "Oh...ok."

Nothing else really happened over the rest of the weekend. On sunday we headed over to a library in Goldenrod to help Nina with her history report for school, and that was about it.
