I smile at her. "Yes'm!"

I ruffle Period's hair. "Shall we go on, then?"

Period faces up, squishing her nose into Beatrice's hand.

Period: Of course!  You're the one who took longer~

She then skips out of the store.

Laughing, I run after her. Until just now, I had still been rattled by my experience in the haunted house. But, now, I feel like the experience is behind me.

"Let's go!"

The running leads you to the path northward, which is, awkwardly, westward.  From the west side of town you can see the entire city. 

It's... breathtaking.  To the small girl who had never been out of the ruins to the young woman who had never dreamed of escaping on an adventure.  You've made it this far, an impressive feat, and your pokemon have grown close to you.  The moment is so lovely and peaceful...

"YOU AGAIN?!"  A young male voice interrupts the brief second of looking back, and you hear someone moving through the underbrush from the old cave.  Turning around, you see A young boy wearing shorts that he is adjusting, as if they are profoundly uncomfortable and troublesome to wear.  "How did you get here?!"  he demands.  "There's no WAY you made it through the cave, it's been blocked this whole time!  I had to hike through the woods to even get here!  I challenge you to a pokemon battle!  Your friend too!  I'll cream both of you!"

My normally easy--if slightly confused--smile hardens to a frown. "You!"

I reach down to my belt, grabbing a Pokéball. After a moment's thought, I turn to Period and inform her: "He's a mean guy who's mean to Pokémon!"

The blue haired kid sneers "Say goodbye to your pokemon's hitpoints!"

"Venomstrike!, open this battle up!  And don't mess up!"

He sends out a pokemon that you both recognize as a venipede.  It seems a bit worse for wear than the Venipede that you two encountered in the woods, but it puts on a determined look to battle.

do you smell...  shrimp?

Oh no, it's just that sick burn you layed down on that poor venipede.  It's eyes open as it coughs out a puff of smoke, then faints.

I glare at this stupid boy. "You shouldn't treat your friends like that! Pokémon are valuable companions, and you just treat them like dirt!"

Pouting, I continue: "Even if you just care about winning, you need to treat them better! They won't do their best for you if you don't do your best for them!"

"Bah!  A pokemon is only as good as their power level, I have no need for useless pokemon that can't even win a simple battle!"

"Skull Crusher!  Go!  Show them whose boss, or I'll show you!!!"

He lets out a pokemon that beatrice recognizes from their first battle.  it appears a little more settled as it gets ready for the fight, but it seems like it would rather be eating udon than continuing this fight.

Samson literally kicks the sewaddle into the fray.  With his boot.  And says "Win one for the team!"  The sewaddle looks a bit shaken, but recomposes itself quickly, rearranging the leaf on its head.  It looks slightly more determined to ward off an attack.

Period: You know, even if you only care about strength, I can't help but think your pokemon would fight better if you didn't kick them like that.
Period: But it doesn't sound like I'll get through to a dunce like you, so I'll just prove my words with my pokemon's power!
