♪ ♫ ♪ [/color][/center] The young boy began to cry as a Rollout attack knocked out his beloved Hoothoot. He couldn't have been more than 12 but his pink-haired opponent gave him no mercy. Like countless other trainers before him, he had been defeated by the Goldenrod Gym Leader. Whitney began to gloat, taking delight in making the kid cry. Her Miltank, Milly, returned to her side and Whitney gave her an approving pat upon her head. The battle had been little more than a warm-up and the black and pink cow hadn't even broken a sweat.
"Aw, c'mon, are you sure you were even trying?!"[/color] Her voice rang out loudly enough that her understudies began to giggle and cackle from behind the flowerbeds that dotted her gym. She stood with her hand of her hip and a superior smirk on her perfectly glossed lips. It had taken the boy hours of battling and running to the Pokemon Center to finally reach his final opponent and mere minutes to be left with a fainted party and cheeks flushed with shame. He ran out of the building as quickly as he could, trying to avoid running into the flowers. Soon the laughter that filled the gym began to die down and everyone tended to their Pokemon, making sure they were all ready for the next challenger. It had been an averagely busy day but so far every hopeful Trainer left empty-handed. Whitney's mood was bright and a beaming smile refused to leave her face. Even Milly bellowed and pranced around, enjoying the mid-afternoon sun that poured in through the windows. The Gym was where she loved to be. Meanwhile, a small pink sprite wandered amongst the flowers. Fairy the Clefairy dipped a pudgy finger into each bed to check the dampness of the soil before picking up a Clefairy-sized watering can and sprinkling water over the leaves and petals. He was pouting a bit, upset that he hadn't won the battle single-handed. But his Metronome attack went wrong and he had ended up Resting himself out of the fight. Next time, though, he would show who was the man.[/size]

Current Pokemon: Quilava, Aipom, Poliwhirl, Scyther, Pichu, Gligar
-----
Goldenrod City definitely lived up to its name for the young Gold. He had been in Goldenrod for about two weeks now, just taking in the sights and sounds of the metropolis. From the Game Corner to the Radio Tower to the National Park, Goldenrod City was the place to be in Johto right now. It was hard to imagine Johto without Goldenrod!
At this moment, Gold was in the Pokemon Center lounge, waiting on his team to be completed healed for his battle with the Goldenrod City Gym Leader, Whitney. He did not know much about Whitney, except that she was young (his age) and mastered in the Normal type. She had to be pretty good to be a Gym Leader if she was already one at the age of sixteen. Nonetheless, Gold was confident in the ability of his Pokemon team and he had raised a well-balanced team up to this point: Jack the Quilava, Abe the Aipom, Queen the Poliwhirl, X the Scyther, Spike the Pichu, and Batt the Gligar. Gold's ears twitched once he heard a ding and immediately turned his attention to the front counter. Nurse Joy appeared out of the door with a smile on her face and a platter of six Pokeballs in her hands.
Gold's Pokemon were fully restored and prepared to face Whitney. "Thank you," Gold nodded his head at Joy before heading out the door and back into the city. It was noon now and Gold was widely awake. He began to think of which Pokemon he would use against Whitney. Spike was definitely too young and small to do any damage against Whitney, but who knows. Approaching the double doors of the Goldenrod City Gym, they automatically slid open as a pleasant fragrance entered Gold's nose. The gym was decorated with colorful flowers every where. "Yeah, the Gym Leader is definitely a girly-girl." Gold snorted as he walked around before approaching one of the underlings, "I'm here to challenge Whitney."
Little did Gold know how tough Whitney was. This was a crucial point in every Johto Trainer's journey through the region.

♪ ♫ ♪ [/color][/center] There was this absolutely amazing new cafe that opened in downtown Goldenrod and as it was now lunch time, Whitney and her posse were ready to close and go eat. There was a lot of fuss as everyone gathered their purses and precious adorable Pokemon. Being part of Whitney's group meant they had standards to live up to and being pretty and showing off their team were expected. As Whitney was just about to turn off the lights and put an 'out to lunch' sign on the door, another trainer arrived. He was her age with a cap over his scruffy hair and sharp golden eyes.
"I'm here to challenge Whitney."
Some of the girls began to groan and complain about how long the waiting line would be. The older underlings were about to tell him to come back in an hour or so when Whitney and Milly stepped through the crowd. Whitney regarded the newcomer suspiciously, her pink eyes shimmering with a nearly chocolate tint. The way he stood there inside her Gym, looking so cocky and proud made her frown.
"You girls go on ahead and save me a spot. It shouldn't take me long to win this one."[/color] She winked, hoping her confidence would make Gold second-guess himself. How she loved poking fun at Trainers who thought about nothing but battling all day. The Gym was soon empty except for Whitney and Gold. Wordlessly, she led him to the biggest area in the Gym before turning to him. Bugsy, who was like a little brother to her, had mentioned a trainer who pummeled his team, including his prized Scyther. He had said the trainer's name was Silver or Copper or something. Was this the same guy? If so, she would show him no mercy. Whitney pointed at Gold and Milly let out a challenging moo. Fairy appeared from behind a few flowers and matched his trainer's point. Not exactly the most intimidating-looking team ever, but Whitney knew how to use that to her advantage. Nearly everyone decided to take it easy against her and before they knew it, they had their butts kicked to the curb. "I'm Whitney, the Gym Leader of Goldenrod City. I'm warning you, kid, I'm pretty good."[/color] She paused for a moment. "I am in a bit of a hurry, though. A two-on-two battle should be enough to see if you're worthy of the Plain Badge."[/color] Which, of course, would never happen in a million years.[/size]

Gold snickered to himself as he watched the other girls waltz out of the Gym while listening to Whitney banter on about how good she was. She was obviously a Gym Leader, likewise she was tough. But Gold was just as tough, already having a well-balanced team up to this point. A two on two battle definitely favored Whitney as she had the opportunity to use her strongest Pokemon immediately, but Gold pretty much knew who he was going to use. Looking at the bulky Miltank and masculine Clefairy, Gold nodded in agreement at the 2 vs. 2 battle and took out two Pokeballs, lobbing them forward. The balls bounced and bounced before stopping and bursting open.
"Let's go, Jack! Queen!" Gold decided to use his two strongest Pokemon in his Quilava and Poliwhirl. His two main Pokemon stood ready for battle as Gold nodded at Whitney and said, "Hello Whitney. I'm Gold of New Bark Town. Let me just warn you that I'm as equally as good as you are and I'm nothing to be dealt with! Seeing as how you are in a bit of a hurry, I'll make this battle quick and painless, okay babe?" Gold raised his eyebrows seductively, flirting with the obviously attractive Gym Leader.
"I'll go first... Jack, Flame Wheel on Miltank! Queen, Doubleslap Clefairy!" Jack curled into a ball and began spinning in place like Sonic the Hedgehog. Flames engulfed the Quilava's body as he then burst forward in the shape of a flaming wheel, nearing Miltank. Meanwhile, Queen waddled over to Clefairy, sending a fury of slaps in its vicinity.

♪ ♫ ♪ [/color][/center] Whitney assessed Gold's chosen Pokemon, noting how balanced they were. Perhaps his pride was well-deserved and he would be the challenge Whitney had been waiting for. A small blush appeared on her cheeks as he flirted with her, but she didn't respond to it. She knew she was incredibly pretty, after all, and he obviously knew a cute girl when he saw it. After she defeated him, maybe she'd invite him to lunch with her. She hadn't been on a date in a while.
Gold's team went on the offensive immediately, each choosing an opponent to focus on. Milly stood her ground, eying the charging Quilava. She began to bat her eyelashes and winked coyly at Jack. She called to him in a sweet and gentle way, hoping to stop his attack.
"Great Attract, Milly! Fairy, use Doubleslap, too!"[/color] The tubby Clefairy also began to waddle over to his equally round opponent. A slapping war soon began but little damage seemed to be done to either of them. Both Pokemon were so round and...fat that the slaps seemed to just bounce off. Would this into a battle of endurance to see who could slap the longest?[/size]

Attract? Gold was unsure what was about to happen as Miltank winked at the flaming Quilava. Jack stopped in his tracks as his eyes were filled with hot pink hearts. The Quilava stood lovestruck as he gazed at the now attractive Miltank. Gold had a disgruntled expression on his face as he said, "Jack, what the heck are you doing!? Get in there and attack Miltank!" But the Quilava could not. He was blinded by love. "Great." Gold groaned, only hoping that Queen could manhandle Clefairy. The Poliwhirl and her opponent were currently evened up at a Doubleslapping matching and it did no seem like either said would gain the upper hand anytime soon. Gold quickly retaliated for the moment and said, "Body Slam!"
Queen took advantage of how close she was to Clefairy and slammed her body forward at the male Clefairy. Jack, meanwhile, still was in a woozy daze, leaving himself open for a brutal attack from Miltank. "What exactly did your Miltank do to Jack?" Gold questioned. Gold had extensive knowledge of Pokemon, but this attack definitely was new to him. Never before have his Pokemon been unable to battle because of being in love with the opposition. Not so quickly anyway, because Jack had all intents and purposes of defeating Miltank. Now it wanted to make love to the darn thing!

♪ ♫ ♪ [/color][/center] Whitney giggled to herself, enjoying Gold's frustration. Funny how he had tried to put the moves on her and now Milly had turned the tables in the same way. "Don't like getting a taste of your own medicine, huh? She made him fall in love with her using her adorable charms."[/color] Now that Jack's attention was solely on Milly, it was time to attack, but Whitney didn't want to immediately jump in. She was going to play this battle more cautiously than she had the others this morning. "Stomp, Milly! Fairy, use Pound!"[/color] Her orders were short and sweet and both Pokemon obeyed. Milly's sweet demeanor changed to one of an overly-competitive bovine and Milly closed the distance between her and Jack before attempting to trample him with her hooves. Fairy, who had been sent flying by Queen's Body Slam, landed roughly. A scrape appeared on his belly and he became upset. How dare that overgrown tadpole hurt his tummy?! He charged with all his Clefairy might and threw his weight into the attack. Whitney felt that both her and Gold were nearly evenly matched and considered going all-out. Uncertainty held her back, however, as she wondered what tricks he might have up his sleeve. Milly's Rollout and Fairy's Metronome were not flawless, after all. She needed to see more of Gold's strategy before deciding how to end this.[/size]

Gold hmm-ed to himself as he watched Miltank go right and stomp her hooves right on Jack's back. The Quilava ricocheted off the ground and bounced up into the air before landing a few feet away from the Normal-type Pokemon. Gold took it in as he also watched Queen be pounded by the incoming Clefairy. It was obvious to see that Whitney's Pokemon looked cute, but they were just as strong as they were cute. Gold simply smiled. He would enjoy this battle. He looked over at Whitney, "A taste of my own medicine eh? So that means you're falling in love with me then right?" Gold cooed at her before heading back into attack mode. Jack shook off the effects of Attract and now had a fiery gaze at Miltank. How dare she pull such trickery on him and then attack him in the process?
"I'll show you how I'll be the best. Starting now! Your Pokemon are definitely strong, but with the right moves, I can weaken them. Jack, Mud Slap!" Utilizing the move he learned from Falkner's Pidgeotto, Jack turn around and kicked up a pack of dirt directly at Miltank. "Queen, Ice Punch!" Queen had stumbled back from the Pound attack by Clefairy. She gathered herself as her fist began to ice up. Just as he approached again, the Poliwhirl slammed her fist into the Normal-type Pokemon's general direction.

♪ ♫ ♪ [/color][/center] After Milly's attack, Jack's infatuation with her was broken. Unlike lesser-willed Pokemon, he had snapped out of her spell quickly and was keen to take revenge. His Mud-Slap hit its mark and Milly was blinded by the dirt. She tried in vain to remove it. Decreased accuracy would make Rollout more difficult and Whitney grimaced. Clefairy was also having a bit more difficulty as the Ice Punch flew his way. He attempted to dodge but he couldn't move fast enough. He was left shivering and with icicles hanging from his tiny wings. Thankfully, he hadn't been fully frozen this time. Perhaps Whitney shouldn't have let Gold show off his moves. She refused to act worried, though, not wanting to let him gloat.
"Ha! Me like you? You're just a puny little brat with ugly pants! Milly, Body Slam it! And Fairy, let's see you use Metronome!"[/color] Despite the risk, Whitney was counting on the Metronome to at least startle and distract Gold. Then she could try to think of a way to knock them out quickly. But her wish wasn't granted when Fairy's tail began to glow. Metronome had chosen Iron Tail, which would do little damage if it hit the Poliwhirl.[/size]

Feeling confident about the what the Metronome had put out, Gold allowed the Iron Tail to hit Queen, however due to the dampness and wetness of the Poliwhirl's skin as well as her resistance to Steel-type moves, Queen was not that effected by the attack. She only faltered her footing a bit before going right back at the Clefairy with another Ice Punch immediately after Gold commanded it. Chuckling at Whitney's backtalk, Gold merely smiled, trying his best to distract the pretty girl from the battle, "For the record... I'm not wearing pants. They're called shorts, ever heard of 'em?" Gold nodded at her attire, "What do you call THAT?"
Jack sensed that Miltank was incoming, feeling a rush of physical energy being thrown at him. He was definitely struggling with Miltank, but that Mudslap was definitely helpful right now, because he easily dodged the Body Slam, landing behind Miltank and repositioning himself in a position to attack once more. "Mud Slap again, Jack!" Gold liked this new tactic and quietly thanked Falkner for teaching Jack Mud Slap when he was just a Cyndaquil. Jack whipped more dirt towards Miltank again in an attempt to lower her accuracy even more.
