Pink, Day 9: The Grass Gym Leader.

I had a bloody Dratini and I LOVED IT.  It was a beautiful girl Dratini and knew four powerful moves!  Flamethrower, Thunder, Ice Beam and Tackle.  For some reason, when I tried to teach her a fifth move, my PDA (I have one) told me I had to make her forget a move.  What the bloody heck?  Why the bloody hell can she only learn four moves?  Not three, not five, four.  Bloody four.  What in Lugia's bloody name was going on about that?  Probably something to do with the Nurse Joys I bet.  Its always them.

Well today, I finally got some more information about the Nurse Joys.  It was a letter talking about some sort of Nurse Joy festival, a celebration of their long service to the world of Pokémon.  It was scheduled for Sunday at Fuchsia City Pokémon Center, which meant I had to be there.  I needed to find out their secret but I wasn't going to find it if they knew I was there.  But what could I do to shroud my appearance?  Food for thought.  Today however, I was going to fight Erika, the Fourth Gym Leader.  I probably should have been more careful when getting there to avoid attention from the police, and I really shouldn't have given my real name when I got to the Gym.  Why did I do that?

I was granted access no problem.  Guys would have a lot more trouble but us girls were allowed to walk straight in.  They greeted me with drinks and perfumes but I wanted to get right on with the battle.  I wasn't allowed to face Erika right away.  Instead, I had to prove myself by beating her friends first.  It kinda went like this:

Gym Trainer sends out a grass Pokémon.
I send out Growlithe.
Murder, death, burn.

Gym Trainer sends out a grass Pokémon.
I keep out Growlithe.
Murder, death, burn.

Gym Trainer sends out a grass Pokémon.
I keep out Growlithe.
Murder, death, burn.

And so on.

By the end of it, my Growlithe was very tired but he had done more than I could have ever hoped for.  At last, I could fight Erika.  She proved to be a tough trainer.  Her Pokémon made my Pokémon fall asleep, be paralysed, spin around in circles hitting themselves on their heads and suffer poison. My Gastly lasted a short time before fainting, if Ghosts can do that.  I don't get the laws of Pokémon sometimes.  Ghosts should be invincible yet they seem to fall to many attacks easily.  Bloody Ghosts!

Her Victreebel was defeated by a combination of my Abra and Machamp. Abra kinda just stood there and recieved hits and fainted, while Machamp came out and punched Victreebel so hard it crashed into the ceiling and got stuck in the process.  Erika's Tangela did well to trip Machamp up and attack him a lot, since the vine ball was so small and fast to grab.  In the end, Machamp managed to hit the little bloody bastard and knock it out but when Erika pulled out her Vileplume, Machamp was defeated quickly. I still had my bulbasaur but a grass against grass Pokémon seemed silly, so I brought out my Dratini. MY BLOODY DRATINI.  MINE.  WOOT! My Dratini burned that grass thing to blood and bloody ashes, setting fire to plants around the Gym and causing the sprinkler system to turn on. The Gym Trainers ran out to avoid the water and Erika stood and glared at me, getting drenched while she did.  My bloody Dratini rocked!

I earned my first badge and left with a smile on my face... and was greeted by an Officer Jenny. She asked me if I had seen a young woman who went by the name Pink McQueen. I told the freak that Pink McQueen was still inside the Gym and that I was going to get help to put the water out. The Jenny nodded and let me go.  I ran.  BLOODY RAN!  I didn't want to end up in prison again.  This time I might not get out.

I ran for a while and ended up in some alleyway.  While resting on a wall and catching my breath, I realised I wasn't alone.  Surveying the distant beast, I picked up a stone and threw it at the monster.

Suddenly, it got really bright.  I thought somebody had found me so I ran some more, tripping over something a few strides in.  I tried to get up but I was quickly pinned down by the thing I had thrown the rock at.  It peered down at me and licked my face.  Then licked again.  Bloody thing!  With all the strength I could muster (humans don't need the HM for that), I threw the bloody whatever it was off of me then took to running again.  As I went, I heard the creature chase after me, so I turned and threw out my Growlithe.  The creature used a water attack on Growlithe and my Pokémon fell to the floor, panting (I forgot it was tired from the Gym battles... so what?).  Desperate, I looked around to find another rock but couldn't find anything, so instead I did the only thing I could do, I threw a Pokéball at it.  The Pokéball fell to the ground and the creature went inside. Wiggle, wiggle... "Vaporeon was caught!" Said my Pokédex.  "Want to give a nickname to Vaporeon?"

Bloody thing!  I didn't bloody care.

"You selected Bloody.  Your Bloody was sent to Someone's PC."

I put my Growlithe away then went back to running.  I wasn't going to stop until I thought it was safe.  Bloody Officer Jennys!

Keep on watching for the monsters.  They're bloody everywhere.
