Chapter 5 They got off the boat and were in Dewford Town. Amy didn't look so good. She looked green, in fact. She and May rushed to the nearest bathroom where Amy proceeded to vomit in the toilet. "Well someone definitely got a little seasick." May said to no one in particular. Meanwhile, Wally and Brendan were at a café, the one that just happened to have a vomiting Amy in its woman's bathroom. "Do you think that the girls are ok in there?" Wally asked Brendan. "I better hope so." Brendan asked as he asked the waitress for a root beer with two straws, saying that his girlfriend was in the bathroom (obviously making sure the waitress didn't think they were gay) and Wally ordered two sprites and a large order of cheese fries for him. "You like cheese fries?" Wally asked Brendan. "They're ok, I guess." Brendan replied. Finally, Amy had thrown up enough and was neither dizzy nor nauseous anymore. She wiped her mouth and tongue with a paper towel. It was a bit gross, but May didn't care. When they came back, they had some comments from the peanut gallery. "Where were you two, snogging other guys?" Brendan asked. "Or were you reapplying your makeup to do the same with us?'' Wally said. "Please! Amy got a bit seasick, that's all." May said calmly. "I was just joking, May." Brendan laughed, a natural boyish laugh that made May's heart go pitter-patter. "You better have been." May said. The waitress came back with their orders. They all sipped on their sodas. "Cheese fries anyone?'' Wally asked. "I'm trying to lose weight. No thanks." May said. "Brendan is this diet root beer, by the way." May added. "Yeah, I made sure. No stupid calories!" Brendan said. "And about the cheese fries, I'll pass." He added. "I need to keep my cholesterol down. No thanks." Amy said. "Oh goodie! All the more for me!!" Wally said excitedly. "Piggy." May snorted. "I thought you didn't want them, Miss-I-need-to-lose-all-the-fat-in-my- entire-body Levitt." Wally said, mocking May. "I don't want them. You shouldn't totally pig out though, Wally. All the fat in those fries will go to your thighs. Oh yeah, I forgot. You have no thighs." May joked. "I wouldn't be talking, Thunder Thighs." Wally added. May's mouth dropped. "Excuse me, Wallace.'' May said sternly. "Please, I was just joking. You don't have Thunder Thighs. I shouldn't have even gotten a LARGE thing of cheese fries. I'll get a doggie bag then." Wally said as they finished their drinks. May rolled her eyes. "Nerd." She snorted. "Good one, May.'' Brendan said, high-fiving her. Wally had the waitress get a doggie bag for his cheese fries as Brendan paid the bill. "My treat." He said as he handed her 35*. They headed towards the gym, which was dank and dark. It smelled of old, sweaty socks. They all held their noses as they reached the gym leader. 'Hello, Amy Lovestruck, nice to see you! Birch, not surprised to see you! And who is this fine young lass?" The gym leader said. He had light blonde hair that was mostly covered by a black backwards baseball cap, a baggy MADE shirt (good charlotte's brand, if you know nothing about good charlotte, ask me!! AKA send me a review!!!), and very baggy khaki shorts. He had cold gray eyes, and a pierced ear and lip. "Will Baker, meet May Levitt. May Levitt, meet Will Baker." Brendan said as Will kissed her hand. For such a bad-to-the-bone sort of guy, he had charm. Will began the battle with his Nosechop, a spirit fusion of Nosepass and Machop. May used Combuslow, a combination of her Lv20 Flame and Lv20 Mighty Wing (now a Swellow). Since then, May had gotten better. May told Combuslow to use Blaze Wing, a ZM (a type of TM used for spirit fusion battles) that did a good amount of damage to Nosechop. Nosechop retaliated with a sharp low kick. Nosechop: 18 out of 67. Combuslow: 45 out of 78. Combuslow finished it off with another Blaze Wing. May beat Will!!! It was now Brendan's turn. He used Marshonne, the spirit fusion of Loone and Marshtomp. He also had taught it a ZM, this one called snorkeling. Will put out Geonix, the spirit fusion of Geodude and Onix. Marshonne used snorkeling, and Geonix did rock throw. Snorkeling did a huge amount of damage, while rock throw did decent damage. Geonix: 3 out of 90. Marshonne: 67 out of 89. Marshonne finished it off with another snorkeling. Brendan won!!! "Dangit! You guys are better than I thought. Two straight loses for me. That is not common." Will said as he went to heal his Pokemon before needing to face Wally He also gave Brendan and May the Stone Badge, which improves strength, and TM21, Lock n' Key (an attack like protect, except that is defensive but has the attack retaliated back at their opponent.), and 683*. Wally had improved a lot. He also had a Roseila by now, May had given it to him for his birthday, and he had trained up really well. Wally sent out Raltsila, which is, ok you guessed it, the spirit fusion form of Ralts and Roseila. After a blast of Psychic Petals (Raltsila's ZM), Nosechop had been 1 hit KOed. Wally suspected that it was still a bit worn out by the last battle. It needed to rest. Wally won (tongue-twister!!)!!! Amy didn't like spirit fusion battles, so they went 1-on-1. Amy let out Sever and used Super Slash. It missed. Onix used rock throw, which did direct damage. Onix: 100 out of 100. Sever: 4 out of 89. Amy bit her lip. She had to think of something quick. Then it came to her. She told Sever to use Firewall, an attack that resembled Lock n' Key. It went back at Onix, stunning the large rock-like Pokemon. While Sever had Onix distracted, he attacked with a strong Super Slash. Amy won!! She got her first badge (she can get into the Pokemon league without the cute badge, as she was a gym leader who gave it out). They headed down to a vintage shop where May and Amy went gag-gag. They shopped 'till they dropped while Brendan and Wally hung out. They talked as Wally nibbled on his leftover cheese fries. "So, Brendan, how easy was Will, in your opinion?'' Wally asked his new best friend. "He has lost his touch. He was really strong once, but then he had his Pokemon taken away when he was arrested for 'lifting gold nuggets to sell for money. He lost everything and had to start over. He has learned his lesson and has pretended that that life was over, and that he has been reincarnated into a better person." Brendan said. Wally nodded. Meanwhile, May and Amy were "window-shopping". Amy had three pairs of socks, two pairs of sneakers, a skort, a pair of shorts, three shirts, a jacket, and two pairs of pants, while the more of a tightwad, May, had merely a great pair of ripped-knee jeans, a cute shirt that had been deconstructed with safety pins, and a new pair of sneakers that made you run really fast, all on the super-sale rack. Amy went white when she saw her total: 424*. May smiled when she got hers: 56*. Amy would have been nearly broke if she hadn't beaten Will or never been gym leader. May was a smarter shopper; Amy just goes a bit gag-gag with her money. They went to the bathroom outside the place, making sure Wally and Brendan didn't see them. They changed into an outfit that they bought. Amy picked an aqua halter that said 'Spoiled Brat' on it, a pair of khaki shorts, tans socks, and a pair of white sneakers, while May wore everything she bought (as you know, May bought 3 things, pants, shirt, sneaks. 'Nuff said). When they came out, Brendan asked, "Where did these beautiful girls come from? What did they do with May and Amy?" Brendan said dramatically. "Cut the drama." May said as she rolled her eyes. "Well, all I can say is that you two are beautiful. And Amy, why do you have two bags worth of stuff?" Brendan joked. "I bought a lot." Amy stated. "How much was it?" Wally asked. "I'm not telling." Amy said. "It was 424*." May said. "Ick. That is a lot of money, half of what Will gave us." Wally said. "I only spent 56*." May said, holding up a small bag that had the clothes that she changed out of. "Yeah, that is true. I did buy a lot, and May didn't. May stayed around the super-sale rack. She was able to buy things that were the fourth of the price of mine, and I had much more stuff." Amy admitted. "Anyway, I think Amy and I have had enough shopping, for one day. Dada daaaaaaaa (evil music stuff)." May cackled as she high-fived Amy. The boy exchanged pained looks. "Please no more shopping, please no more shopping, please no more shopping," the boys shuttered out. "Please…we were kidding. We won't go stopping until we get to the next big shopping city." Amy said as they headed towards Mr. Briney's boat. "You mean Slateport? That is the next place you will go. Very good shopping I've heard." Mr. Briney said evilly. May and Amy nodded. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Brendan and Wally cried as they boarded Mr. Briney's ship.
