Private/Closed Be The Best... Nothing Less Is Acceptable

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

"Ok, Ralts, dodge and use confusion!" Gabriel instructed, to which the tiny feeling pokemon immediately obeyed. Ralts managed to easily sway out of the way of the thin line of ice, immediately countering with a soft pink telekinetic wave.

Gabriel's chest was starting to hurt, and to tighten even more... He used his inhaler again, finding that it did little to lessen the effects of what he feared was coming on.

 

[The Snom Prince]

"Brick break," Cress said as simipour easily dodged from years of practice from Munna's. "So how is Artemis?" Cilan asked as they watched the battle "as good as someone who trains Eevee's can be" Luna answered as Shaz watched the battle with Chili and Cilan's Pokemon intently.

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

"Sit, Ralts," Gabriel ordered. Being a psychic type, a simple brick break wouldn't do very much to the little feeling pokemon...

Ralts was unsure what to make of the strategy, but obeyed the order anyway, waiting until Simipour was just close enough to land the blow... And then...

"Use disarming voice!"

Ralts screeched the house down, as white, pulsing rings erupted from his mouth...

 

[The Snom Prince]

Cress didn't have much of a reaction there gym was supposed to be the easiest anyway so he wasn't trying hard Cress simply sprayed a potion and said "Blizzard". "is he your friend?" Cilan asked gesturing to Gabriel "I'm helping him not be an idiot" Luna replied Chili laughed "That's our luna" Chilli smiled

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

An icy gust whipped around the gym, thoroughly chilling Ralts as it searched for a way out of the gust...

The blizzard, meanwhile, exacerbated Gabriel's symptons. The ice in the air left him gasping for breath, even with the use of his inhaler. He had to finish this, and fast...

Litwick lit her flame as she came over to her master, hoping that warming him up would help...

"R-Ralts, use..." Gabriel wheezed, "Use... C-confusion!"

 

[The Snom Prince]

Cress narrowed his eyes for a second realising this kid had asthma Simipour had the same realisation and both nodded no more ice "Shadow claw" Cress said worry evident in his voice. Cilan and Chili looked at each other having the same realisation as their brother "should we stop it?" Cilan asked "No let's wait" Luna said Litwick wasn't letting him be hurt so he'd be fine as long as she was awake.

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

The confusion dissipated on contact with the shadow claw, as Ralts waited for his next order. In spite of having just been caught, he'd noticed that something was up with his new trainer, too...

"U-use..." The boy spluttered, "U-use magical leaf..."

Ralts nodded, firing colourful leaves at his opponent. If he were a blissey, perhaps heal pulse would've been a good idea...

Litwick comtinued to stand by Gabriel, unsure of what to do... His inhaler didn't seem to be helping at all...

 

[The Snom Prince]

"Gabriel please be careful" Luna said having worry in her voice as Cilan and Chilli looked at Cress who looked very ready to quit just to make sure he was okay Simipour let the leaves hit him he didn't mind losing it was better than putting someone in the hospital.

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

Gabriel fell to his knees, hyperventilating, too unwell even to celebrate his first victory. Litwick began to panic, unsure of what it was that he needed...

The boy kept on with his inhaler, ignoring everything around him. All he could think about was trying not to pass out in the gym...

 

[The Snom Prince]

Luna ran to Gabriel's side and hugged him. Cress picked up Simipour and smiled at Gabriel "Just keep doing that kid" he said his brothers kneeling down by him to make sure he was okay "maybe we should call an ambulance" suggested Cilan

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

The boy flinched at the sudden touch, spasming as Ralts came to investigate the commotion, unsure of what the best course of action was. He'd never seen a human in such a state before...

The boy took a last breath on his inhaler, before going limp in Luna's arms.

 

[The Snom Prince]

"YES CALL AN AMBULANCE NOW" screamed Cress. Cilan started calling for one. Luna hugged Gabriel close "You stupid fucking idiot" She said she should have known this would happen as Chilli ushered his, his brothers , Luna's and Gabriels Pokemon away saying "He'll be fine dont worry"

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

"Lit..." Litwick cried warily. She's seen humans collapse like that several times, but usually only when they'd had their souls drained by others of her kind.

She stashed the inhaler in her unconscious trainer's pocket, just in case he needed it later.... When he awoke..l

 

[The Snom Prince]

Cress sat in the hospital at Gabriel's bed waiting for him to wake up Luna was also by his bed in a chair also waiting as the Simipour, Shaz and Gabriel's Pokemon sat by their trainers a guilty look on Simipour's face

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

Litwick jumped up onto the bedside table and flared her flame, crying out softly to see if that would help wake the boy. Did that sort of thing happen often with him? She wasn't sure, but if it did, then she would have to learn how to handle him when he got like this, if they were going to be partners...

Gabriel stirred in his bed, fingers brushing the edges of a thin hospital gown, and an ID tag... So, he'd managed to end up in the hospital...

His eyes fluttered open, vision obscured by a thick oxygen mask that had been put over his mouth and nose. He noticed the gym leaders, Luna, and Ralts sat by his side, as he tried to push himself upright.

 

[The Snom Prince]

Luna pushed Gabriel back down "No rest first, walk later" Luna said Cress looked at Gabriel "Why didn't you tell us you had asthma I could have killed you" Cress said

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

"I didn't think it mattered," Gabriel rasped, "I mean, it's not like you were gonna be using smokescreen, or haze in there. You're a water type specialist!"

 

[The Snom Prince]

"Just because I'm a water specialist doesn't mean I will always use water moves or types!" Cress said while massaging his head. Luna just looked at Gabriel an unreadable expression on her face.

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

"Look, I'm new at this, alright?" Gabriel wheezed, "I know I'm way too old to just be starting out, but I only got my starter today. I don't know anything about gyms, besides the types..."

He attempted to remove his mask so that he could speak easier, but Litwick held it on, just in case his bronchial tubes began to tighten again.

"I just had a bad day with my asthma... That's all."

 

[The Snom Prince]

Chilli sighed and walked over to him presenting the Trio badge "just be careful" said Gabriel after giving him the badge him and his brothers left leaving only Gabriel, his Pokemon, Shaz and Luna

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

"Ok," the boy answered curtly, placing it carefully in his bag, since he had yet to find a case for his badges.

"I'm sorry," Gabriel said to Luna, unsure of what else to say. He had subjected her to watching him fall unconscious after an asthma attack...

 

[The Snom Prince]

"your an idiot why didn't you stop its a badge" said Luna looking at him with an assertive glare she just couldnt see whats so important about a badge

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

"Because if I don't become the best, I don't get to go home when my journey is over," Gabriel spat, "I couldn't let something like asthma stop me from getting the badge. I had to win!"

Gabriel looked over at his pokemon. Litwick still seemed worried about him, while Ralts was eyeing him with some curiosity... He had to admire this kid's persistence, that was for sure. There was a thin line between bravery and stupidity, though, and he seemed to have crossed it...

"When pokemon masters are confronted by challenges, they power through them, and they win," Gabriel insisted, "And that's just what I plan to do!"

 

[The Snom Prince]

"Arceus what are you me?!" Luna spat back her anger coming back to her mind. Ralts started pulling on his trainer's trousers to no succession "Please stop Luna" He thought

 

[Ry_Burst]

Terry walked into the resturant gym and looked around. His Oshawott, whom he had named Otto, had been training to wipe out the gym leader. Otto looked around anxiously. He was ready to battle. Terry watched as the people sat around dining, eating their food. He had read that the Striaton gym was also a resturant. "Hello! My name is Terry Brooks, and I'm here to win a gym badge." Terry yelled in search of a gym leader.

 

[The Snom Prince]

"Yooo man" said Petunia the only way to describe her was long brunette hair and sounding extremely high "we had an accident your gonna have to wait until they come back" Petunia added

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

Gabriel stilled at the girl's reply. Was she, perhaps, on a similar situation to him? But if that were the case... Why had she been given a rare pokemon like a ralts, to start her off? A shiny one at that, which was even rarer...

Propping himself up on the pillow, Gabriel enquired, "What do you mean?"

 

[The Snom Prince]

Luna froze "it... it's nothing people of your crowd need to concern yourself with" Luna said her anger gone and replaced by silence as she sat down Shaz hugged her leg knowing what she was thinking about

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

"Ok then," Gabriel answered, lying back down again as he felt the heat from Litwick's flame. He jumped, ready to command Ralts to take her out with a confusion... But he never felt his soul draining from his body. Just the soft warmth of Litwick's flame.

"Litwick," she reassured.

Gabriel relaxed, upon realising that she wasn't going to kill him, but instead, was only trying to calm him, and to warm him up.

 

[The Snom Prince]

Shaz looked at Luna before sighing he had to learn to help her if he didn't... what would Master Thunder think if she went to jail or worst. Luna never liked her old self even back then "Your not her anymore Luna no one can hurt you anymore" Luna thought

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

Gabriel, meanwhile, was worn out after the day's events, and so that he could recover some of his strength, he thought that it would probably be best if he got some sleep.

Litwick pulled the covers up over him, before settling on the bedside table, keeping her flame on to keep him warm. He probably needed the heat, after exposure to that blizzard...

Within minutes, the boy was fast asleep, deaf to all that was going on around him.

 

[The Snom Prince]

Luna left the hospital leaving a note to meet her at the gym to Gabriel and made her way towards the gym with the leaders who had been waiting for her Cress looked at his brothers they didn't tell her they heard her

 

[Ry_Burst]

"God damn it," Terry muttered under his breath. He sat down at the nearest table. He waited a second before saying, "Whe will the Gym leaders get back!" He was throughly pissed, having no patience for waiting.

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

Ralts came and sat by Gabriel, watching the sleeping boy warily. He was half tempted to wake him up and pass him the note right now, but Litwick stopped him. He needed his rest...

 

[The Snom Prince]

The gym leaders said goodbye to Luna she opened her pokedex deciding to waste her time on that until Gabriel came.

"Well looks like their back now" Petunia said as she walked over to them and pointed to Terry. Cilan approached Terry "I will battle you" bringing out a Leafeon.

 

[Ry_Burst]

"A grass type, how predictable," Terry said giving a cruel laugh. He sent out Ottto, who took the field.
"I learned how you use types to turn the table on your opponents, so I taught Otto this little number. Go Aerial Ace!" Terry said snickering. Otto jumped into the air and charged the Leafeon, while draped in white energy.

 

[The Snom Prince]

Leafeon did a backflip barely avoiding it and used razor leaf while nodding to her trainer's brothers knowing they needed him especially Cress "What a dick" Petunia said to the brothers/her uncles knowing she already didn't like this trainer

 

[Ry_Burst]

"Block with Razor Shell," Terry comanded. Otto swung his shell in a wide arc, to block the leaves.
"Now use Water Gun!" Terry said. Otto ducked low and fired pressurized water at the Leafeon.

 

[Shiny Blue Gardevoir]

After he'd woken, Gabriel was given a thorough check up by the hospital's asthma care specialist. He was given a new inhaler, and told to be careful when he was fighting gym leaders, especially ones who used poison type pokemon.

After changing back into his usual attire, consisting of a tight shirt and jacket, smart black trousers, and a fedora, Gabriel walked back to the gym, as per the note's instruction. He let Ralts and Litwick stay out of their balls, deciding that he wasn't quite afraid of them anymore.

 

[The Snom Prince]

The water barely did anything to Leafeon as she used leaf blade. the patrons didn't pay attention to the battle already knowing what had happened earlier today the brothers got sympathetic looks.
