This girl was a real roundabout of charades. On one front she seemed to have a mysterious depth to her but the next thing Joey knew was that she was ticking all the boxes of being a stereotypical ditz. Surely there was some more to her than just wanting to partake in battling because it's
in. "
Yeah! Super. Sounds you and your gang of friends must've been pretty damn tough to be able to pitch in at such a big a place as Goldenrod." And yet, there it was again. Having seemingly began to pigeon-hole here into the brainless ditz he was categorising her as, the question did start to become apparent. She must have some qualities as a trainer to afford being gym leader in a city this big. Competition must've been something fierce. Lost in his thoughts of trying to work her out, Joey was taken aback visibly as she mentioned about Hoodlum hanging out with her clique. "
Haha, you'd think it'd be something but trust me on this, it ain't. He'd probably start ogling at all your female friends and dropping more F-Bombs than a B52." That was only a half truth. The other was that Hoodlum was unlikely to go with her after that Clefairy had so doggedly slapped the ghetto thug in the face.
Whitney on the other hand seemed to have different thoughts. Unaware to Joey how torn up she was over how brutally the Clefairy had been hit, he cocked an eyebrow as she ordered an unexpected yet obvious attack at his Scraggy. "
ATTRACT?!" His face in a vague sporting of horror, Joe looked over to the Miltank as he realised she was gearing up to bowl the gangsta over. "Oh boy... I cannot look." Palmed Joey as he slapped his face in. "
Ohohohoho, now that is a sight for sore eyes... PHHWWWOOOAAARRR! You put the LIFE in MY afterLIFE!" Finishing off with a hearty wolf whistle and a heavy pant of his tongue draping out, Dante's eyes sprung out with heart shaped eyes. Looking back up, Joey could feel he was sweating bullets. "
Is this kinda thing even allowed?!" Grimaced Joey as the Miltank waved her udders about temptingly. Turning to look at Dante and how lovesick he looked, the concern soon spread to how Hoodlum was reacting. "
Hood? HOOD?! HOOOOOD!!" Exclaimed Joey loudly as he noticed how stupified his Scraggy was looking. "
Awwwwwwwwwww daaaaaayyuuuummm soooon... Dat is one hot bangin' BOOTAY! Fiendin' for sum, mhhmm-MMMHHMM. HOOOOLLAAAAA BACK GUUUURL! Love dat fly girl." Swaying side to side unevenly, Hoodlum was infatuated hook, line and sinker.
As despair kicked in, Joey's eyes met with Whitney who seemed like she had been waiting to bag on the fact Joey was a stereotypical guy who only used male Pokemon. "
Huh. Cute trap. I bet you bring all the boys to the yard, huh?" Cursing himself mentally for not bringing one of his own female Pokemon such as Narcissa or Hades, Joey realised he was now at a terribly disadvantage. However, the incredibly pretty girl wasn't over just yet. Oh no. Plan B of her operation was primed for use. Now came the inevitable onslaught. "
Grargh, now she's got Hood wrapped around her bloody fingers this means she can pummel on him like some wifebeater. 'Cept the roles are reversed. DAMMIT HOOD! SNAP OUTTA IT!" Despite his yells, the cow was too fast. Bounding over and buttering him up, the stomp to the gut was completely unexpected. For anyone that wasn't Hoodlum. "
OOOOOF! Dayum gurl, what'chu got beef for, YO?!" Spluttering as the lizard tried to regain some breath, Joey curled his nose a little at how much Whitney was enjoying this. "
I sure hope you don't treat yer boyfriends like this." Thankfully, Hoodlum wasn't just any old boy the female opponents could just boss around. As he stood back up and began skipping over, Joe had no idea what was going to come next.
Raking his face with the possibility Hoodlum was gonna convey his undying love for her, the biker's eyes widened as the hood rat began mouthing off in his charming way of speaking. "
Yoooo gurl... Na mean when I said I love yo' flava? DAT BOOTILICIOUS BOOTAY?" Diverting his eyes off to the side, a small grin spread over the lizard's face, expressing his sparkling gold tooth. "
Psch, I lied." Leering his eyes a little, the Scraggy continued. "
B$@#£!" Moving his body to relay the impressive attack, he suddenly let rip a huge explosion of words. "
YOU HUMMININ' HO! NOW I'MMAH ALL UP IN YOU GRILL, GURL! WHAT'CHU GONNA DO WHEN THE SCRAGG-DADDY COME FOR YO CRAB ASS?! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLA!" Connecting the knee right into her gut, the cow Pokemon went flying backwards with the full brunt of the kick, departing far away as Hoodlum tried grabbing out to unleash another pimp kick for good measure. As she went off, Hoodlum landed back to the ground and kissed his teeth ruefully. "
B%$@# ASS HOOD RAT! Play yo'self! I ain't da one. Da Hood ain't gonna be whipped by no manky ass HO!" Smashing into the gym wall and falling down for the count, Joey was almost jubilant enough to burst out in some ebonics of his own following what Hoodlum had said. Instead, he laughed to himself and grinned raucously.
One minute Whitney had been laughing her guts out and now it looked like she was going to be crying her eyes out. Savouring the look, Joey had a sly look on his face as he shrugged nonchalantly. "
Y'know how it goes. One minute you're on top of it all, the world's ya Cloyster and the WHAM... Takes one fall and you are done." Her visage becoming more and more frayed, Joey dropped his smugness and started to feel a little bad. Perhaps deep down through all of her clashing personalities was just that of a poor, young girl. Getting herself off the floor, Joey remained seemingly rooted to the spot, unsure on how to approach her. Her very state was one of absolute chaos. Returning her Pokemon and taking a step away, Joey took a step forward only to be reprimanded with a flurry of names. "
Wha-wha-whaaaa?! Woah! Hold up-" Storming out of sight, Joey's face was one of a slapped bottom as he tried to work out what would happen now. "
The hell?! I went through all that, proved myself and now i'm... Ah crap. If I can't sweeten her up then i'm outta a badge." Scratching the back of his neck with a raised arm, he was about to make amends when the girl he had fought earlier had confronted him.
"
Carrie? I thought you... Huh?" Listening to what she had to say, Joey found it somewhat unbelievable that a girl in such a position would fall into a temper tantrum but here his reward was staring him in the face. "
You'd think she'd detach herself a little and take a loss as a loss but... Ehh. Who am I to say. Girl's probably still got some growing up to do I guess?" Shrugging, he stepped forward and accepted all the much appreciated rewards. "
Looks like i'm due a shopping spree on Goldenrod with all this, wow!" Pocketing it away, he laughed. "
You were pretty tough too... Sorry about 'Buzz goin' all crazy on you. I'll reign him in one day." Feeling kinda bad, Joey nervously laughed and scratched his neck again. He'd hate to be painted the bad guy here so he decided to take a shot. "
Hey, do me a favour? When Whitney calms down... Tell her I hope she doesn't think badly of me. She was damn tough. And considering how old she is... Well. Give her another year or two and she'll be places." Smiling, he watched as Carrie went off to console Whitney and with his message.
Leaving him alone in the gym with just Hoodlum and Dante, Joey let out an exasperated blast of air. "
Looks like the drinks are on me tonight guys. You all did a bang up job. Gotta admit, I wasn't exactly prepared stumbling in here not thinking it was a gym... Oh shit." Stopping dead sentence, Joey realised why he had come into this building in the first place. "
Err... Guys? I think we need to move. Like, bloody lively quick." Returning his Pokemon to their Pokeballs, he sped off to the exit with his mind racing with the possible outcome of if he lingered. "
All its gonna take is one crying, hurt girl to drop me in the soup with the police... Who are currently headhunting me all over the city. G'dammit. 'HEY POLICE! THIS BIG MEANIE ATTACKED US EARLIER!'" Pushing out of the doors after having ensured there were no cops nearby, Joey sped onwards out of the city. "
Let's hope she does calm down like Carrie said!"
