Episode 26: Fire Mouse & Leaf

Quil, Izo, and Gol meet back up with the rest of the group.

Bay: Who is she?

Quil: The newest member of our team. Everyone, meet-

Eli: Izo? Is that you?

Izo: Eli? I knew it was you!

She punches him.

Izo: You're still as solid as ever. Glad to see you haven't gone soft on me after all this time.

Eli: And you're still as touchy as ever. Still have that punch-anything-that-gets-in-your-way mindset?

Izo: Of course. That will never change.

Quil: You guys know each other?

Eli: Yeah, Izo's the Scyther girl I was talking about after the Azalea Gym.

Izo: You better have been saying good things about me.

Eli: Well, I didn't say bad things about you. We can just leave it at that.

Quil: Anyways, let's get back to the topic at hand. Want to go see if the gym is open now?

Gol: I already checked it out, it is. Even took a few notes for you guys.

She hands a few cards to Quil.

Gol: The gym leader specializes in normal type Pokémon. She has three Pokémon, a Teddiursa, a Clefairy, and a Miltank.

Quil: So three of us are competing. Eli definitely, her Pokémon won't be able to do much against him.

Roco: Me too! I just learned a fighting type move, I can take on the gym by myself!

Quil: Izo, you know a fighting type move, right? You want to take on this gym?

Izo: I'll pass. Normal types are weak, and I won't waste my time against weak Pokémon.

Quil: Then it looks like it'll be Roco, Eli, and me.

Bay: Wait, why you going?

Quil: I learned a fighting type move too.

Bay: You fought against both of the other gyms though. You're not the only one who wants to compete the gym challenge.

Quil: Yeah, but that's because you weren't really the best choice for either of those gyms. As a grass type, you were weak to both Falkner's and Bugsy's Pokémon. With this next gym that's not the case but Roco, Eli, and I are all more suited for this. Sorry Bay.

Quil, Roco, and Eli walk towards the gym.

Gol: I still don't get why these gyms are so important to you guys.

Bay: I'm not even mad about the gym at this point. Even after all this time, Quil and Roco still think I'm weak. I've been getting stronger for nothing.

Episode End.
