Hello, and welcome to the Pokémon Center
Today, I had the strangest visit at the Pokémon Center
Why was I being nice? This was wrong.
As I went to the Pokémon Gym, Chansey got out of her ball and accompanied me. Grrrrr niceness equals baaaddddd. Perhaps battling could help my mood.

ZZZZZZZZZzzzzaaapppppppppp.
Lots of zapping happened.
At the Pokémon Gym, there were Pokémon trainers who had electric Pokémon. Did I say Pokémon enough times? Why is everything soooooo Pokémon? Barggahahaahaaahaha.
On the outside, I'm smiling and being nice. On the inside, my mind was a mess of emotions and confusion. What... the... blooo----sure is nice weather today.
I fought many trainers and did well against them. Machamp was really good at punching them and breaking their Pokémons' bones. I was proud. Of course, upon injuring their Pokémon, I had Chansey tend to them. How could I let such great Pokémon stay wounded like that? Battling was vile and full of violence. Why would I ever partake in such things?
I carried on and----something weird. Yep, sooooo weird. I like to see the rain and the snow and the oh my, look at the time. Its almost the end of the day. And----that's when I found both switches for the electric gates and was able to get to the Gym Leader, Lt. Surge.
Lt. Surge said I had pretty hair and was sorry that he had to destroy my Pokémon. What a nice guy.
We went up on an elevator and got to the roof where a giant dome surrounded us. The trainers of the Gym surrounded the outside and were cheering and chanting. "Two men enter, one man leaves!"
This was a little gender-specific. I questioned Surge about the idea and he said his trainers didn't know what women were, and if they found out, they would do things he wasn't allowed to say due to censorship from the Pokémon League.
Interesting.
I was unsure of which Pokémon to start with but Chansey soon made my choice for me. She stepped out onto the battlefield and smiled at Surge. That was really nice of her.
I asked the Gym Leader what would happen at the end of the battle as the chant seemed fairly dismal. Lt. Surge sent out a Raichu and grimaced. "No. No more questions. No more worship. Time to run. Time to scream. Time... to cry."
The chanting was drowned out by cheers and taunts from the onlookers and the battle commenced. I've never seen Pokémon move so quickly. Raichu moved like a streak of lightning and Chansey jumped about like a... jumping thing. I could barely keep track of their movements as they danced across the dome interior, blasting electric and fire at each other. Twice I found myself crouching or dashing out of the way of incoming attacks. Lt. Surge just seemed to stand there, ignoring the fact his hair was both singed and standing up like a broken fence.
Eventually, Raichu was defeated but so was Chansey. Both Pokémon were returned to their respective balls, and new Pokémon now stood out on the ground (roof of the Gym). Surge had brought out an Electrode and I had thrown out Articuno. If anything, the legendary could take a few hits to tire the Electrode out, even if the ice Pokémon ignored my orders.
However, Articuno didn't get a chance to show any disrespect towards me as Electrode used Self-Destruct. The explosion was enough that the whole building and dome shook and fire littered the dome's frame, causing people to step back and send out water Pokémon to put out the growing blaze.
Both Pokémon were out again. I was sure Electrode was now dead. Articuno on the other hand was just in need of a rest at the Pokémon Center
"You have done well little lady, but now you must face my thunder cat!" Shouted Surge, releasing an Electabuzz. The onlookers who had now put out the fire from the explosion began chanting, "Thunder, thunder, thunder cats... HOOOOOOO!"
I guess they really liked Electabuzzes.
Well the battle went savagely. Electabuzz was a nightmare on legs. It demolished my Growlithe, electrocuted (why are ghost Pokémon so broken?) my Haunter, beat up my Dratini and well, and maybe this was my fault, but Vaporeon nearly died. Water Pokémon aren't very good against electric Pokémon. Sorry Bloody, I still love you. You love me right? Phew, Vaporeon just nodded (or was this him just shaking about due to the shock of the battle?).
Last it was Machamp. He was pretty tired from fighting all those trainers from the Gym but Electabuzz was tired too due to the battles with my other Pokémon. It would prove to be a fairly even match.
What had started as a fast-paced battle now turned into the slowest contest in the history of Pokémon battles. I had underestimated just how tired both Pokémon were. Electabuzz could hardly walk and Machamp's double-kick attack was as weak as one of my kicks.
In the end, from its exhaustion, Electabuzz fell over onto its face with a crunch. When Surge returned it to its ball, there was a puddle of blood left where it had been. I offered my services to help but Surge just asked me to leave. The onlookers were now silent as I stepped out of the dome. Surge gave me a badge for my victory then closed the dome after me.
It was a sad time for them all it seemed. Perhaps I should have forfeited. Never mind.
We hope to see you again soon!
