The boy smiled cockily. "Use hypnosis!" he called. "Arcanine, quick, use Extreme Speed!" Arcanine ran away from the attack and ran at Gengar from behind. "Now use fire blast!" I new normal attacks didn't effect ghost types. The fire attack hit gengar full on, making it faint. "Alright!" I said, and Arcanine howled in triumph. The boy gritted his teeth. "I'm not thru yet!" he yelled, "go, Golem!" The rock pokemon appeared, ready to fight. "Arcanine, return!" I said, "go, Rapidash!" my fire stallion erupted from his pokeball, rearing up to his full height. "Golem, earthquake!" the boy called. "Rapidash, use agility, run away from the attack!" I used the same technique as before, and I knew rapidash would never be caught by the earthquake; he was too fast. "Use stomp, then fire spin!" the horse jumped on the pokemon, slaming its feet on it. Then he shot out a spinning fire tornado, and golem was defeated. "NO!" the boy cried, "golem!" I smiled. "awesome job, boy!" I said, and rapidash whinnied. I returned my pokemon, and the boy did the same. "good battle," I said, feeling sorry for him. "Yeah, yeah, I'll be back," he said, "leaving my gym. I sighed. "oh, well," I said, "I tried to be noce. Thats all for today, niney, I think we practiced enough." I returned my pokemon and Pikachu jumped on my shoulder. "What happened to the good days of being leader?" I asked, "when everything was so much fun?" Pikachu shrugged. I looked outside my gym, wondering what went wrong since then.
