Chapter 43 - Katrina Punches A Bitch

Red sent out a Jolteon, that instantly reminded me of my Jolt. This Jolteon was very similar to mine, with the exception that it didn't look as hyper. "Joltee!" It cried as sparks of electricity danced around its body.

Out of Lance's Pokeball came a Garchomp. I instantly fell in love... I loved Garchomp's! Garchomp was actually one of my favorite Pokemon. I always wanted one but I could never find a Gible... They were difficult to find, especially in Johto because they were native to Sinnoh region, where they were still rare to find in the wild. His Garchomp roared, scaring but amazing me at the same time.

"That little Jolteon? I've battled tons of those," Rick (the trainer that was rude to Lance) chuckled. Red just smirked & shook his head. "But you've never battled one like mine, right Jolteon? Use Thunder." The attack had Blaziken on the floor when it was done. Just one attack, & it was already in the verge of fainting? Wow. Talk about powerful.

"Blaziken! Use Overheat!" The attack hit Jolteon straight on. I gulped, worried for the poor Pokemon.

"Metagross use Flash Cannon on Garchomp!" I didn't have time worry about Jolteon because I was now worried for Garchomp, who was also hit. When the attacks finished, I thought Red & Lance's Pokemon would be really hurt. I mean, their opponents were strong! & they got hit head on.

But Jolteon just shook it's singed fur, annoyed & growled. The move barely did anything to Jolteon! Garchomp too. He just shook his head & waited for a command from his trainer. Wow. I had never seen two Pokemon take such powerful moves & be completely fine.

Our jaws, as well as Rick & the other kid's, dropped when we saw how strong Jolteon & Garchomp were. My Jolt was really strong, but I know that even he would have been significantly hurt by that Overheat.

"Garchomp, use Fire Fang," Lance said calmly. With blinding fast speed, Garchomp flew over to Metagross & used Fire Fang, knocking it out in just one hit.

"Jolteon use Shadow Ball!" Red commanded. Blaziken was out now, too. & Jolteon & Garchomp looked completely fine. Next the two boys released a Torterra & Infernape, but they were quickly taken out. Infernape was hit with a Dragon Claw, & Torterra was hit with two Shadow Balls. I was amazed at the power. They were the most powerful Pokemon I'd ever seen. I understood why Lance was the Champion now. He was just... Incredible. & Red was too. Maybe he was even as good as Lance was!

The next two Pokemon brought into the field were a Luxray & Staraptor. Jolteon's Dig attack nearly knocked out Luxray when it hit. Jolteon was hit with a Crunch by Luxray, but it didn't do much. With a simple Quick Attack it finished off Luxray.

Garchomp used Crunch on Staraptor, but it missed because the bird Pokemon was flying around. It used Brave Bird on Garchomp but it seemed to have hurt itself more than it hurt Garchomp... Anyway, Garchomp used Dragon Pulse, & Staraptor didn't stand a chance...

"Lance is amazing..." the girl beside me said, admiring him. I was even more annoyed by her now. "I know he is," I scoffed. "He's so perfect..." she mumbled, her eyes sparkling with adoration as she stared at him lovingly. She's lucky I didn't guage her eyes out.

Lance & Red beat their opponents fairly easy. The following Pokemon were an Ambipom & Empoleon. Garchomp took out Empoloen with a Dragon Rush, which was amazingly powerful, & Ambipom managed to hit Jolt with a few Seed Bombs before being knocked out by a Thunderbolt.

The fith set of Pokemon were a Houndoom & a Kingdra. Jolteon was hit with a Dark Pulse, & after that he looked like he was getting tired. He was much slower. Garchomp took out Kingdra by using Giga Impact. Garchomp had to catch it's breathe after using that move, & Houndoom took this opportunity to attack it. Sludge Bomb merely bounced off Garchomp though, & Garchomp looked pretty much unphased by the move.

Another Sludge Bomb hit Jolteon, who was then poisoned. Jolteon took out Houndoom with Thunder Fang, before being retreated by Red because he was tired now. Red released his Gengar for the final pair of Pokemon from his opponents.

The final two Pokemon were a Magmortar, & a Weavile. Weavile quickly used an Ice Beam on Garchomp.

Garchomp sure as hell felt that one.

It cringed & kneeled down as it was hit, noticably taking damage, but Garchomp stood right back up strongly. Magmortar shot a Fire Blast at Gengar, which hit. Gengar flew back at the impact, but then quickly got up & sent a Shadow Ball flying right back. Magmortar fell down & struggled to get up. "Finish it, with Dark Pulse!" & just like that, Rick's last Pokemon was out.

Seconds after that, I heard Lance whisper. "Outrage." His Garchomp used this move with such power Weavile flew all the way back & hit a tree. There was no way it would be able to battle.

The two boys looked disappointed, sad, angry, upset, suprised, amazed, & shocked at the same time. They were at loss for words. "Excellent Garchomp," Lance gently stroked his Garchomp's head & it closed it eyes, enjoying it. "You & Jolteon were great, Gengar," Red smiled & hugged his Gengar.

"You guys... That was, that was..." I trailed off, not knowing what word I could use to describe it. Amazing? Incredible? No, it was much more than that...

"So cool!" The annoying girl came up behind me & cut me off, standing in front of Lance. "Oh my gosh Lance! You are amazing!" She continued. He took a step back, & his Garchomp made a disgusted face at the girl.

"You're strong!" She yelled. "& handsome! We should hang out sometime!" She rambled on, making me mad.

Really mad.

"Can I hang out with you right now? I know the perfect place where we can-" "I really would rather not," he said as he turned to glance at me.

"Well I can make you change your mind," she winked. "Fuck off!" I spat, suprising myself & everyone around me. All eyes were on me now.

The girl stopped talking & turned to face me. "I was talking to Lance, not you," she rolled her eyes. "He doesn't like you! Go away!" I threw my hands up in the air angrily. "& who are you? His mother? I sure as hell know you aren't his girlfriend," she crossed her arms & looked at me. I wanted to punch her in the face.

"I swear, bitch. You have three seconds to fuck off & leave him alone or I will punch you so hard you'll shit your pants," I threatened in a much lower voice. I didn't wanna raise my voice. I needed to save my energy, because I really was gonna punch her. I swore on my brother's grave if she didn't leave my my crush alone, I would. If any of you have ever had a really big crush, you'd understand.

She looked at me & smirked. "Three..." I counted down, waiting for her to move.

"Two..." She gave me a fake yawn. "Katrina," Lance called my name. I didn't look up at him. I was busy focusing on the whore in front of me.

"One..." I gritted my teeth.

"I thought so," she rolled her eyes & reached for Lance's arm.

"Zero," I whispered before I threw my fist straight at her face, hitting her nose. What? You thought I wouldn't do it? I swore on my brother's grave, didn't I?

I drew my other hand back & punched her jaw. We fell to the ground, I was on top of her. I punched her again, in the mouth, before I was pulled off. "Katrina! Relax!" It was Lance's soothing voice. Breathing hard, I allowed myself to cool down a bit. His touch made my skin sizzle.

The girl was bleeding now, & I had her blood, or as I would prefer to call it, 'victory juice', on my knuckles.

Red was just watching wide eyed, not knowing what to do. "Erm..." he trailed off, looking at the girl on the ground & back at us. "Let's go, before Katrina tries to hit her again," Lance told him. Red nodded & retreat him Gengar before walking after us.

Lance let me go & after a few minutes, when we were a few minutes away from the mansion, he & Red looked at each other, then at me, & burst out laughing. I had never heard Lance actually laugh before. Red either.

I didn't even get to ask what was so funny because they laughed the entire walk home. When we got back, Lance opened the door & fell onto the floor, causing everyone to look at him. Red was laughing hard too, he made his way to the couch & sat there, laughing. "Oh shit, it hurts! My stomach hurts!" Lance cried out as he tried to stop himself from laughing, but he couldn't. "Shit, mine too," Red managed to say as he continued to laugh.

"What the hell? Lance is... laughing?" Bruno asked in disbelief. I was thinking the same exact thing. Everyone was in the living room. Bruno, Will, Karen, Lorelei, Gary, Adriana, Richie, Brandon, & Amy.

They all looked confused & shocked as to what was happening. I sat on the only couch with empty space, next to Red.

He stopped laughing before Lance did. "Oh, man," Red wiped his eyes, he had been crying of how hard he had been laughing. Moments later, Lance's hysterical laughter turned into a small chuckles as he walked over & plopped down beside me.

"Damn, that was funny," Lance sighed, clutching his stomach. "What the hell happened to you guys?" Gary questioned. "Lance... I've never heard you laugh like that, what's up?" Lorelei questioned. Everyone was eyeing us strangely, as if we were aliens.

"Katrina-" Lance & Red both yelled at the same time, but stopped when they realized they both started talking at the same time. They chuckled. "You explain it," Red urged Lance, peering over me to toss him an urgent look. Lance smiled & nodded.

He actually smiled.

"Katrina what? What did she do?" Adriana questioned. The sudden silence was filled by a loud moaning sound. I looked towards the tv & saw that they had all been watching... Porn? "Guys! What the hell are you watching?!" I questioned. "Richie put in on!" Karen cried.

"& you were all watching it?" I raised an eyebrow. "Only Richie, Brandon, Gary, & Bruno. They wouldn't change the channel," Adriana explained. "Now, tell us what happened." They all leaned foward, waiting for an explanation.

Lance started talking immediatley. He began first with the battle they had. Everyone seemed really insterested to hear about it. "& right after the battle, this girl went up to me, & started being all desperate & annoying," as Lance said this, I smirked with satisfaction. He thought she was annoying, & not hot. Yes! "Desperate & annoying? You love desperate & annoying girls?!" Bruno shouted, confused. "I told you guys, not anymore, okay? Anyway, Katrina told her to fuck off," Lance pointed at me. Everyone nodded & leaned in closer, getting more interested with every word he said.

"& the girl was all like,'Who are you? His mother? Cos I sure as hell know you ain't his girlfriend'." He snapped his fingers in a z formation & moved his head from side to side. I laughed hard at his immitation of the girl & so did everyone else.

"& then Katrina told her she had three seconds to fuck off or she would punch the girl in the face. She counted down from three, & the girl thought she was playing, so she tried to grab my arm & Katrina punched her in the face!" Lance said, full of enthusiasm. Everyone gasped, even Amy, who showed as much emotions as a robot.

"You punched her in the face?" Adriana asked, her mouth wide open. "Alright Katrina!" Gary got up & ran all the way over to me just to give me a high five.

"Then what?!" Bruno shouted loudly. Everyone was hooked onto Lance's story.

"& then she started punching the girl & beating the shit outta her! I wanted to watch, but what would people say if they heard the Champion was watching a girl get beat up?" He frowned. Everyone else frowned also. "So I pulled Katrina off the girl & told Red we should go before Katrina punched her again," Lance finished excitedly. He was actually smiling. I had never seen him smile like that, or heard him laugh like that either. He leaned back as he finished explaining the incident.

"Damn Katrina's a thug!" Gary cried. "That's my best friend!" Adriana announced proudly. Everyone cheered me on. I didn't think it was that big a deal, honestly. "So, basically, you punched a girl because she was hitting on Lance?" Richie spoke up, raising an eyebrow & smirking. I didn't realize how obsessive & creepy it sounded until Richie said it.

I suddenly felt very emberrassed. "I-I-" I began to flush a deep red. What could I say? I wasn't even his girlfriend, nor did he like me back, so why was I acting all defensive over him? I felt stupid immediatley.

"I just-" "I'm glad she did it, it was funny as hell & that girl was annoying. If I wasn't a guy, I woulda punched the bitch myself," Lance backed me up & put his arm around me as he slouched back. I blushed a deep red. He had his arm... Around me. My heart literally stopped & I forgot to breathe.

"Yeah, you guys should have seen that girl. She's was annoying! Katrina is the real mvp for doing that," Red added, winking at me. He was backing me up, too. The emberrassment I felt lifted off my shoulders. "Thanks, Katrina," Lance smiled at me. I realized I forgot to breathe, so I slowly breathed out, feeling relieved.

"What time is it?" I asked. "9," Will answered, glancing at the clock. "We'd better get to bed, babe. You got a big day tomorrow," Gary got up & pulled Adriana up with him.

"Oh, yeah, we need another room. The one we have is... Um... Slightly dirty..." Gary bit his lip. "Meaning?" Karen raised a brow. "It's just really dirty, so no one will be able to use that room okay? Okay, we'll take another guest bedroom," Gary raced off before Karen could ask anymore.

"We're gonna need more guest bedrooms..." Karen bit her lip. "There were twelve of us in total, & only ten bedrooms..." "I thought there were twelve bedrooms?" I questioned. "I don't want to know how but Gary ruined one, & the other is under construction, because it's also ruined. It's a long story, but someone is gonna have to share a room," Lorelei said.

"I'll share with Amy," Richie held his hand up & walked away with Amy, who was going to be staying with us. No one protested. Within just a few minutes, everyone was getting ready to leave to their bedrooms.

"Or I can have another sleepover with Katrina," Lance spoke up. Everyone in the room looked at us questioningly. "You sure?" I asked Lance. He nodded. "Yeah," he replied. Everyone in the room began to wink & exchanged 'ahhhhs' & 'oooohs'.

"You guys have sick minds. We're not gonna have sex," Lance shook his head. "Lance. It's fine, I can sleep in my own room," I said. "You're sleeping in my room," he demanded. "Nope," I said, popping the 'P' & giggling playfully. "Katrina, you punched a girl because she was flirting with me, don't act like you don't wanna sleep in my room," he scoffed, making me blush & causing everyone to tease me. Wanting the teasing to stop, I spoke up. "Okay then Lancey. We'll have a sleepover, just because you desperately want me too," I winked, causing the teasing to be directed back at him.

Lance & I showed Red to his room for the night. "Thanks for backing me up back there guys," I said gratefully. "It's no problem," they both replied. "Night Katrina, night Lance," Red gave Lance a fist bump & Red hugged me. "See you guys tomorrow," he said, & closed the door behind him.

"Now to our room, ma'lady," Lance said. "I have to get my stuff from my room," I giggled. "Okay, let's go." He walked with me to my room while he laughed about random stuff. He was actually laughing. It was wierd but relieving at the same time.

We went into the room & I began to get my stuff. I grabbed my bag, & then walked back to the Champion's room. I liked this side of him. I never knew that under that seriousness & emotionlessness, he actually laughed & smiled like a normal person.

We got to his room & he shut his door. "I need to change," I said. "Go ahead," he sat on the bed & fixed his eyes on me. "Can I use your bathroom to change into my pajamas?" I asked. "Aww, you're gonna change in the bathroom? Why not here?" Lance frowned.

"Shut up," I rolled my eyes. "I need to change too," he said. "You can change after I do," I said, as I ran to the bathroom & locked the door.

"Are you done yet? I need to change!" Lance growled at me through the bathroom door after I had been in there for like two minutes, talk about impatient. "I'm gonna shower!" I shouted at him. I heard him groan, causing me to smile.

My shower was warm & pretty long. Since Lance only had guy shampoos, I had to use that. When I get out of the shower, I quickly dried myself off & first put on lotion so I wouldn't smell like too much of a boy. I then sprayed myself (mostly my hair) with body mist. Then I put on my clothes, sprayed body mist on myself again, & walked out of the bathroom.
