"He is! And one of my best!" She said proudly, "he's pretty right?" Not that Bugsy sounded excited at all, he almost sounded like he wanted this to be over with and he thought all her pokemon were unimpressive. She should probably have brought some hard hitters instead to impress him, but it was his loss that he hadn't seen the cleverness of what she did here.
It was over all too soon, Scyther was over Lapis before he could open his mouth and ask any questions, not that they would have been anything but philosophical, and he was sent spiraling backwards, crashlanding hard. Lei even had to dodge to make sure she didn't get hit by him, she watched him worried for a moment, she had just said he was one of her best, please don't be knocked out already!
She exhaled relieved when he flipped around and slowly beat his wings to get airborne again.
"See?! What did I say? You need to come up with something better than that!" She bragged as he lowered the temperature in the gym and sent out cold winds which howled through the canopy and around treetrunks. It turned out to bee too much for Scyther, who finally collapsed on the ground.
Lei stared openmouthed, over already?
"Aw man, and just now when it began to be fun!" Lei complained, "I should have brought Lapis out sooner so they could have a better match off each other."
"Isn't a win much sweeter when its a team effort?" Lapis asked quietly, "who would think I would be able to last another round of this?" he added with a wince of pain.
Lei straightened and pushed down her disappointment that she wasn't going to get a longer battle against this scyther, now her pokemon had a chance to face it longer, and she put up a confident smile as she met the gym leader in the middle of the gym. She accepted the handshake and the praise, even if it felt fake.
"Thank you, you gave me a run for the money!" She said keeping up the tirade and accepting the gifts. "I'm sure it would!" she added politely and gave her farewell and best wishes to him before she left.
As she exited the gym, she had to resign that she wasn't going to be best pals with Bugsy for some reason. She had thought that he usually was crazy about bug types and easy to excite but he had shown her none of that, so he would probably never be more than an acquainted to her. She could hope she one day would be such big shot that he would crawl to her feet to be seen in her shadow.
She looked at the badge, and wrinkled her nose when she didn't felt as proud about her hard fight to earn it. Not when she had failed so hard in getting a good contact with the man who handed them out.

Pixel , I assume this was done after you got promoted and you handled the money right then and there? ^^ It's too long so I have no clue what my amount was back then, and I think your post was right around when you got the ability, right?
Tarlar You are correct! I think yours was the very first money update I did as this post was on the 5th and I was promoted the 4th. Sorry for forgetting to mention updating the monies.
Thread finished!
