Meeting

"Nidorino! Using double kick!"

Nidorino leaped up, delivering a double kick to the gigantic Onix.

Onix couldn't withstand the attack and collapsed onto the ground, shattering the battlefield.

"Onix is faint! Trainer Blue has won!"

Blue exhaled in relief, recalled his Nidorino, and then looked at the gym leader.

This Rock-type gym leader had tanned skin, brown hair, wore green pants, and a jacket—it was Brock (Brock from the game, not the anime).

"Well done, you've really trained your Nidorino and Squirtle well."

"No need for compliments, just give me your gym badge."

Seeing Blue's straightforwardness, Brock took out the badge and handed it to Blue.

After receiving it, Blue immediately left without saying a word.

"Big brother, that guy is extremely arrogant," said Brock's younger brother, who had been serving as the referee.

"It doesn't matter whether he's arrogant or not. The fact that he easily handled my two Pokémon is more than enough."

"Big brother, it's because you held back your true strength."

"Don't say that. A gym challenge is meant to test a trainer, not to crush them."

Brock then headed out to go to the Pokémon Center. His younger brother sighed.

"I wish the Pewter Gym's type was Ground, then he could've used his Steelix."

But a wish is just a wish, and the boy resigned himself as he returned to his room.

Meanwhile...

"Your Pokémon are fully healed! We hope you have a pleasant journey!"

Blue took back his two Poké Balls and walked out of the Pokémon Center.

Taking out his map, he looked at the next city. But a voice interrupted him.

"Blue!"

"Huh?"

Blue began to sweat, this voice was extremely familiar—no, it had been familiar since childhood.

He turned fearfully in the direction of the voice.

"Yaho! Long time no see~"

It was a girl the same age as him. She wore a white hat, had long grayish-brown hair, wore a blue shirt and a red skirt, and her backpack was yellow, just like Red's.

'It's Leaf!!!' Blue thought to himself.

Leaf was a close friend of both Red and Blue, and needless to say, she was like the leader of the two.

She was a bit tomboyish and quite headstrong, but the scary thing about her was that she was pure evil!! A devil in the literal sense!!

"You're thinking something, aren't you?"

"No, you've got it wrong."

"You're definitely thinking something bad about me. We've played together for so long, do you think I wouldn't know?"

"..."

"Now you try to cosplay Red huh? Lucky to you that I'm in good mood~"

"Good mood? What's up?"

"Because if you're here, it means Red is here too, right~"

"…"

"Right?"

"…"

"I'm not in a good mood anymore. Hanging out with you is boring, and bullying you isn't fun."

'Damn it…' Blue gritted his teeth, enduring it.

Why out of everyone he knew did it have to be Leaf?! If only he hadn't befriended her back then!

"I was planning to wait here for Red to arrive."

"Oh really? Then I'll wait with you~"

"I don't need you to."

"Did I say I was going to wait with you?"

"You just said it!"

Suddenly, he felt like he had lost something. Panicking, he pulled out his wallet, and it was empty.

"Damn it, when did you take it??"

Then he realized he had lost something else. It seemed like it was his Potion.

"You—"

He continued losing his things.

"…"

"See, isn't it better when you're quiet? That's why I like Red more than you."

'What an evil woman!'

Leaf handed back his items and money.

"If you keep being arrogant like that, I'll keep stealing from you~"

So unfair…

Red, hurry up and get here, keep her in check!!!!

Blue had never begged anyone before, but when it came to matters involving Leaf, he would definitely throw away his pride and beg someone to save him from this devil disguised as a young girl!

***

Red put on his trainer outfit again and checked each of his belongings to see if he had lost anything.

Then he turned to look at Pikachu, who was sleeping. He gently picked up Pikachu and placed her inside his red jacket.

Pikachu woke up, feeling warm, and turned her head to look at Red.

"Pika!"

She was very happy! Seeing this, Red smiled and then left the Pokémon Center.

He saw Misty waving at him and walked over to her.

"Where are you planning to go now?" she asked while petting his Pikachu.

"…"

"Pewter City? Are you planning to challenge the gym leader there?"

Red nodded.

"Is that so? As for me, I'm heading back to Cerulean City. My three useless sisters are probably up to something!" Misty clenched her fists angrily.

Red was initially surprised to learn that Misty was a gym leader, especially since she was the same age as him.

But if she was a gym leader, why would she travel all the way to the forest near his town just to fish? It was hard to understand.

As the two were about to leave, Red suddenly heard panting.

"Sugar daddy!!"

"Daddy!!"

That voice was quite familiar. After all, he was the one who had summoned them.

He turned to see five players, and oh dear, they were sweaty, and their clothes were pretty dirty. What had they been up to?

"Who are they?" Misty asked Red in confusion, but Red didn't respond.

"Oh my, my daddy is out of the hospital, and he's still handsome, but not as handsome as me!" Cuckmaster said to the others.

"Stop calling him daddy! Who gave you the right to call Red by that nickname, and how could you even compare your face to his, you jerk!"

"You get to call him that, but I can't? You're a bully!"

Still as chaotic as ever.

The five of them approached, the smell of sweat and dust on their bodies was so strong that even Misty had to back away.

"I really want to take a bath now..." Farmqueen sighed.

"…"

"Huh, what's Red saying?"

"…"

"Oh, forget it, I give up. I have no idea what he's saying!" Bob said tiredly.

"I think he means, why are we here?" Fairygoth replied.

"Actually, I don't know either. I just followed NTRslayer," Cuckmaster answered Red.

Red and the others turned to look at NTRslayer.

"Well... following the guide is always safe, right?" NTRslayer said, scratching his head.

"…"

"…"

Then the four of them turned to kick NTRslayer.

"You cunt! You made us leave early just to follow an NPC, are you that desperate to leech off him?!"

"We went through all that trouble just for such a lousy reason!"

"We ran our pants off just to follow your stupid plan, you stupid fuck!!"

Misty became more and more confused, while Red sighed, not knowing what to say.

Wait, he didn't speak anyway.

Whatever.
