Misty

When everyone arrived and chose a seat that they liked, for some reason, Lukas and Rey ended up sitting right next to Red.

"..."

"Oh! We're sitting next to Red!"

"Randomly chose a spot and ended up next to this guy, how strange."

Pikachu glared at the two players, but they weren't very scared.

After all, if she shocked them, it would affect everyone else too.

Meanwhile, Blue, Leaf, and Brock sat next to each other.

Blue was not pleased and even glared at Red, who was sitting in front of him.

"What's wrong? Are you upset about something?" Leaf turned her head to ask Blue.

"Very upset. Why didn't he sit with us but instead chose to sit with them?"

"... I'm wondering if you're in love with Red or something?"

"In love? Do you think I have time to care about that?"

'...You're not denying it?' Leaf thought, feeling that Blue would certainly become a new rival in a different sense... and of a different gender.

"It's starting," Brock said to everyone, pointing to the stage.

Suddenly, all the lights went out, plunging everything into darkness.

Then, many lights shone onto one spot, where three girls appeared.

"HELLO, EVERYONE! Welcome to our performance!"

The girl in the middle spoke up; she was so beautiful that Bob nearly dropped his pants if the other players hadn't stopped him in time.

But players will always be players; even if they are rational in real life, in the game, they will reveal all their emotions.

"UOGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"WIFE, WIFE!!!"

"JXKWICMWLCUMECOROC!!"

A few male players were screaming like monkeys, while the female players looked at them as if they were animals in mating season.

"If you are new here, let us introduce ourselves!"

"I'm Daisy♡!" The blonde-haired girl pointed her two hands at her cheeks.

"I'm Violet, teehee!" The blue-haired girl tilted her head and stuck out her tongue.

"I'm Lily☆☆☆!!" The pink-haired girl struck a pose.

"UWOHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone shouted like simps.

"...Isn't this a bit too cringe?" Lukas grimaced at Rey, who was also grimacing just the same.

"I thought you'd like it?" Rey looked at Lukas, surprised. Even though Lukas was young, the pressures of work and having seen enough of everything made him quite mature, so things like this didn't interest him much.

"Nah, I don't feel anything."

The reason Lukas didn't feel anything because he is so dumb that his brain couldn't comprehend beauty.

Anyway, the reason Lukas came here was simply because he saw everyone else going, so he decided to join in too.

"..." Red silently watched the three sisters; he found them quite familiar...

Oh! Misty might have mentioned something about her sisters, right? No wonder they look so familiar.

"Disgusting," Blue muttered, covering his eyes, not wanting to dirty them.

"Come on! All three of them are beautiful!" Leaf said enthusiastically.

Blue frowned at Leaf, then realized.

"Oh, right, you're a woman."

"What do you mean by that?"

"!!" Oh shit! I let it slip!

Leaf looked very intimidating, and Blue genuinely regretted saying what he was thinking.

After that, the three of them began their performance in a grand manner... for about an hour.

"When is this going to end?" Lukas yawned and asked Rey and Red.

"..."

"How should I know, man? I thought she had big thighs, but they're not as big as I imagined," Rey sighed.

Even so, a few players still cheered like monkeys—true simps!

"That dance move is quite good, right?" Lily pondered while Yuna seemed quite impressed by the three sisters.

After all, the three of them were beautiful, and their performance was very professional. Who wouldn't like them?

"This will be the final dance; please watch closely!" Daisy called out to the audience, causing them to cheer wildly.

Three minutes later...

"Oh! What an amazing performance!"

"I'd love to get her autograph!"

When the performance ended, the audience left happily, leaving behind the players and the Trainers.

Seeing those who remained, Daisy understood their intentions. She sighed and spoke to her two sisters.

"Lily, Violet, it looks like we'll have to battle Pokémon again."

"Huhhh, I'm tired, I don't want to..."

"Our Pokémon are still at the Pokémon Center. If we lost so easily in the previous battle, there's probably no chance of winning now."

The three sisters sighed and walked toward the Trainers.

The players were chatting excitedly, partly because they were satisfied with the performance, but mainly because of the upcoming Pokémon battle.

New players, who didn't have Pokémon, could only look on enviously as the older players smiled.

"This is a Water-type Gym, right? So Flying types will win easily!" Birdup said knowledgeably.

"Huh? Why?"

"Because fish are Water-type, and birds are Flying-type. Get it now?"

"Not ordinary birds eating fish."

"What? Are you arguing with me?"

"So what?"

"Come on, don't argue," Rey intervened to calm the two players, then noticed the three sisters approaching.

"Are you Trainers?" Daisy asked, looking at the young man in front of her.

But of all people, she chose Red...

"..."

"Um...? Are you a Trainer?"

"..."

"Hey Lily, why isn't this boy saying anything?"

"Maybe he's too shy to speak because we're so charming? How cute~"

"...?"

What? Do I look like I love you or something?

"Yes, we're Trainers, and we're here to challenge the Gym Leader. Are you the Gym Leader?" Blue came over and asked directly.

"A bit rude, but handsome," Violet whispered to Lily.

"Yeah, really handsome, with a bright future," Lily whispered back.

No matter how quietly they whispered, Blue heard everything. He was used to being praised for his looks, so he felt normal.

"No, we're just temporarily filling in because the Gym Leader hasn't returned," Daisy responded calmly.

"Is that so? Then let's battle right now; I don't have time."

"Not patient at all, seems like the arrogant type," Violet whispered to Lily again.

"But very cool!" Lily happily whispered back.

'Alright, this is getting a bit annoying' Blue's eyebrows twitched.

"I'm sorry to announce that... our Pokémon hasn't finished healing yet," Daisy said, scratching her head, which made everyone a bit disappointed.

"When will it be done?" Leaf came over and asked.

"I'm afraid... tomorrow."

"What?! I can't wait until then!" Blue said, annoyed.

"...How about this! You can get a badge for free!"

...What? You can get a badge that easily?

"What do you mean?" This time, Brock stepped forward with a very serious expression.

It's the responsibility of a Gym Leader to challenge Trainers to see if they're worthy of receiving a badge.

So Daisy's words were like a slap in the face to all Gym Leaders. If badges were handed out so easily, wouldn't the Indigo League become a joke?

Blue, Red, and Leaf were also upset. They fought for fair and passionate battles, not for such irresponsible words.

Of course, the players didn't feel the same; they were happy to get something for free.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to accept it," a boy stepped forward to Daisy, startling her.

Yes, that was Bob.

Bob now had a very romantic look (rizz face), his eyes constantly staring at the thighs of the three girls, with a rose in his mouth.

His gaze gave all three of them goosebumps.

"O-Okay! Please take it!" Daisy quickly took out a badge, intending to give it to Bob.

She felt that if she didn't chase him away right away, her sisters would definitely be in danger!

But before the badge could reach Bob's hand, a voice called out.

"STOP! WITHOUT THE GYM LEADER'S PERMISSION, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!"

Yes, the voice was very familiar, especially to Red's group (except for Blue).

They all turned to look and saw an orange-haired girl wearing a white jacket staring at everyone.

It was Misty!

"Who is that?" Blue turned to ask Red, looking very confused.

"…"

Are you kidding me? Didn't I tell you about her this morning?

*****

LONG TIME NO SEE!

You miss me? Bet you do, come and let this mother kiss on your hot mouth♡

Things have stabilized a bit for me, although other areas are not so lucky.

My parents are still safe and they continue to post pictures on Facebook as usual even though Typhoon Yagi has brought extremely heavy rain, knocked down trees, and damaged concrete posts.

The images captured during Typhoon Yagi are also quite terrifying, looking like something from found footage or analog horror!

Luckily, my mother often calls me, which makes me very happy to know they are still safe.

My father even joked, 'Even a troublemaker like you is scared of the storm?' XD

And yes, if you're curious, Typhoon Yagi is currently in Asia (Southeast Asia).

So yeah, I'm still safe♡♡
