Christopher's battle with Whitney
In this fanfic, I'm Chris-
Today, I was going to battle the Goldenrod Gym for a Plain Badge. I headed down the street to find a large brick building with a humped roof, then approached it. The sign marked it as ?Goldenrod Pok?mon Gym? ?Leader: Whitney ? The Incredibly Pretty Girl? Just seeing the ?Incredibly Pretty Girl? made me blush.
When I stepped into the gym, it didn?t look quite like I thought. The hallway walls had old darkened wood paneling, and the ceiling tiles were faded yellow and in need of replacement. The blueish carpet lining the halls was fading where people were walking and also needed to be replaced. When I approached the reception window to my left, a girl stopped me.
?Yo, are you a trainer here to challenge Whitney?? she asked.
I handed my Trainer card to the receptionist. The receptionist mumbled to herself reading ?Christopher Johnson, League 15, ID 00035195.?
The receptionist surprised me by hopping out of the office, and took me outside to a grassy field. ?We are required to have a practice battle first before you can do the actual gym leader. By the way, I?m Bridget.?
________________________________
After I defeated Bridget, she then escorted me to the arena and pointed me to the challenger?s box.
Bridget then ran to the gym leader?s office to get Whitney.
I blushed like a flame as soon as I saw a tall, beautiful girl with pink hair tied in pigtails, wearing a white button-up shirt with pink on the edges, and incredibly short white shorts. I seemed to remember her from years ago.
?Hiya hun,?
?Christopher Johnson here?
?Chris?! I remember you from I don?t know when!? she shouted in excitement, then hugged me.
Whitney moved into the challenger box at the other end.
The referee cued the announcer as she spoke ?Gym Leader Whitney is being challenged for the Plain Badge by Christopher Johnson from (anyplace). Two on Two.?
?START? the ref hollered as a bell rang (, and door locks engaged).
?Clefairy, you?re up? Whitney began the battle.
I called out Quilava.
?Clefairy, Metronome?
?Quilava, ember?
Clefairy was unable to get the Metronome going before she was hit by ember. As soon as Clefairy pulled back up, the Metronome executed a Thunderbolt.
I continued ?Tackle?
By just that, Clefairy fainted. ?Return? Whitney called out. ?Here?s where the fun begins!? she said. ?Miltank, I choose You.?
I gasped knowing how powerful it would be as I heard many people unable to get past it.
Whitney continued asking for a rollout
I tried to get Quilava to get out of the way, but it was struck and out of the battle. It hit the wall behind me, literally leaving a mark and cracking the plaster.
For my next and last Pok?mon, I sent out Golem. I immediately commandeered it to do a rock slide. Miltank?s rollout gave Golem a good nudge. Golem then commenced, slowing Miltank quite a bit, but it was still not enough to fully stop it.
?Golem, Dig? I shouted.
Golem drilled a hole in the ground, then Miltank rolled into it. Golem got out of the hole by knocking Miltank upwards.
?Get up Miltank, you can do it!? Whitney shouted. Miltank then began a new rollout.
?Golem use strength? I ordered.
Golem rammed itself right into the direction of Miltank, then pounded it upwards as it did during Dig.
Miltank fell to the ground, tried to get up, but couldn?t.
The announcer proclaimed over the speakers ?Battle goes to challenger?
Whitney began to cry. ?Waaaaaaaaaah! You?re mean! You shouldn?t be so serious, you..you!? Whitney fell on her knees and continued to bawl.
?Waaaaaaah. Waaaaaah. You meanie!? she shouted.
I approached Whitney to try and calm her down. ?It?ll be okay sweetheart. I?m sorry I had to do this.?
?Get out! Get out of this gym!? Whitney wailed. She then stood up and pushed me out the arena doors heading up to the front lobby.
As I approached the front door, Bridget, who was looking through the reception windows shouted for me to stop, and ran out the office.
?Oh no! You made Whitney cry? It?s okay, she?ll stop soon. She always cries when she loses.?
I went back into the arena, with Bridge following me.
Whitney was still sniffling when I was right in front of her again, with Bridget not far behind me.
?Wha-what do you want, a badge?? she sniffled. ?I forgot, here?s the Plain Badge?
After I put the badge in the badgebook, I hugged Whitney.
?You?re so sweet? she cried.
?I didn?t mean to make you cry, sweetheart? I told Whitney.
?I know hun.? Whitney responded with a slight smile.
?I?.. I?.. I ?.. I???. I love you!? I stammered.
With only a gasp, she held me tighter than before, and gave me a small kiss on my cheek.
