Gym Battle!
Anthony vs. Cress
Cress: "Go, Lillipup!"
"Go... Lillipup."
Cress: "Well, this is awkward."
My Lillipup began sniffing at Cress's Lillipup and barking cheerfully.
Cress: "Not as awkward as it is now. Lillipup, use Tackle!
Lillipup is infatuated and can't move!
Cress: ...
"Uh... Lillipup, use Tackle!"
Lillipup is infatuated and can't move!
Cilan: "Cress, do something, it's boring like this."
After a complicated procedure involving a waiter tray, some Oran Berries, and the ledge-jumping boy from Route 2, the Lillipups were ready to battle.
Cress's Lillipup used Work Up to buff itself up into a muscular doggy, before biting mine a lot. I was forced to recall the fainted pooch and send out Tepig the porkchop. Tepig burned Lillipup and fainted it.
Cress: "Well, since I only have two Pokemon, I guess it's time for my trump card!"
I switched out to the broccoli monkey in preparation.
"Ooh, boss subtitles."
Cilan: "Like them? I was up all night designing these!"
Chili: "I BURNED mine! >:D"
The blue monkey looked cheerfully at the green monkey before buffing itself up just like Lillipup before it. A Vine Whip punished its steroid abuse, but it reacted by spewing water at broccoli head.
Cress: "No fair that you brought in a Grass type..."
Cilan: "Problem, Cress?"
Cress: "Whose side are you on?"
"MY side because broccoli is an awesome vegetable!"
Cilan: "NO WAY! You love broccoli too?! It's so delicious! Raw, steamed, made into pasta sauce, dipped in white glop, with garlic-"
Cress: "Trying to battle here!"
Chili: "Trying to light a FIRE here!"
My Pansage had whipped the Panpour down until it could hardly stand, but a quick potion from Cress spruced it back up.
Cilan: "Speaking of spruces, I wanted to get a tree in here, but Cress wanted a pool."
"What did Chili want?"
Cress: "Not answering that. Panpour, Water Gun!"
Pansage endured it and finished off Panpour with one last whip strike.
Cress: "...I don't believe this."
"Well, sorry, but I did win..."
Cress: "But you're not done yet!"
Cilan: "I had said you would fight water, and I wasn't lying!"
A curtain opened to show a large, undulating floating blob of water.
Cress: "That is your opponent!"
The glob floated toward me.
"Clyde, stop."
Clyde: "Aww..."
He pulled the glob back into himself, gaining a slight aura of H2O.
Cress: "Anyway, quite remarkable. Accept this badge, on behalf of all three of us!"
-Anthony recieved the Trio Badge from Cress!-
Cress: "Also, accept this TM. It contains Work Up, the-"
"Steroid move, got it."
Cress: "Accept it, and move on in your quest to-"
Cilan: "Cress! Chili set fire to the curtains again!"
Cress: "Crap. Clyde, get over here!"
Chili: "AHAHAHAHAHA! BURNING!"
I left the Gym insane asylum.
