    They entered the Celadon City Gym. A girl at the counter greeted them.
"Welcome to the Celadon City Pokémon Gym! Are you here to challenge our gym
leader, Erika?"
    "Yes, we are," Icy answered. The girl was startled. She looked down at
the talking Pikachu.
    "Did that thing just talk?"
    "Of course I just talked. You talk. Well, so do I. My name is Icy. Now,
where's Erika?" Icy was very anxious to earn another badge.
    "Now I've seen everything. The main gym is just down the hall to your
left. Good luck!" She returned to the desk. Some other young trainers came
in. Clan Caterpie headed for the main gym.
    "Erika uses grass type pokémon, right?" Icy asked. He didn't want to get
caught using the wrong pokémon in a gym match.
    "Yeah. Fire and ice pokémon will have a real advantage over her grass
types," Insane replied.
    "Hmmm... I don't have any fire or ice pokémon. What am I going to use?"
Icy didn't have too many options.
    "How about Abra? Abra can nail them will its psychic attacks. Or maybe
Porygon," Random said.
    "Hey. That might work! I'll have that Rainbow Badge in no time!"
    They entered the main gym. There were trees and plants all over the
place. "Hello. I am Erika, the gym leader. Are you here to earn a Rainbow
Badge?"
    "Yes! I'm ready!" Icy stepped up to the challenger's box. Erika watched
in disbelief as the small Pikachu approached.
    "Ahehehe... That's very cute. So who's my challenger?"
    "I AM!!!" Icy yelled.
    "What. You can talk? Pokémon don't compete for badges, humans do."
    "Errr. Not this again. Insane, would you kindly do the honors?"
    "Why not..." Insanellama spent the next few minutes explaining to Erika
about the experiment mishap that transformed Icy into a Pikachu. She was
still confused, but agreed to battle Icy.
    "It will be a three on three battle. GO, Tangela!" She threw her
pokéball into the field. A small vine-like pokémon popped out.
    "I choose, Abra! GO, Abra!" Icy swung Abra's pokéball from his tail into
the field. Abra came out, ready for battle. "Abra, use psybeam!" Abra
prepared to attack.
    "Tangela, try to distract it with vine whip!" Tangela shot its vines at
Abra, but Icy was ready for it.
    "Abra, use Psychic to repel the vines!" Abra reacted quickly and the
vines missed their target. "Now, switch attack to Confusion!" Before Tangela
could bring its vines back in, Abra fired its confusion attack. Before long,
Tangela was tangled in its own vines. "Hehehe. That was easy." Icy laughed.
    "The joke's on you! Tangela, use constrict to put yourself back
together, then hit Abra with stun spore!" Icy gasped. Tangela fired spores
directly at Abra.
    "Abra, teleport!" Abra teleported just before the spores could hit him.
"Now, psybeam!" Tangela was knocked out in one hit from Abra's psybeam. Abra
was started to learn how to channel more energy into its attacks. But
without evolving, it would never reach its potential.
    "Tangela return! Very impressive, but you'll have to do better to beat,
Victreebel! GO, Victreebel!" A large bell shaped pokémon came out. "Razor
leaf now!" Sharp leaves emerged from inside its bell. They quickly converged
on Abra.
    "Teleport Abra!" It was too late. Abra was hit by each of the razor
sharp leaves. "No, Abra! Return!" Icy thought to himself what to use next.
He remembered Random suggesting Porygon. "Go, Porygon!" The polygonal
pokémon came out. Icy quickly looked up Porygon's attacks on his pokédex.
    "Victreebel, use vine whip to restrain that Porygon!" Icy was worried.
He couldn't lose another round.
    "Porygon, tri attack!" Porygon immediately split into three identical
Porygons. Victreebel was confused. It couldn't figure out which was the real
Porygon. All the Porygons struck at it at once. Victreebel was too beat up
to continue battling and fainted. Erika recalled it.
    "You're pretty good. But you'll never beat, Vileplume!" A large plant
emerged from the pokéball. It had very large pedals on its top. "Vileplume,
stun spore!" Two of the Porygons got hit by the spores and disappeared. The
real Porygon charged again for Vileplume.
    "Porygon, sharpen, then tackle!" Porygon became razor sharp and as it
hit Vileplume, Porygon cut its side. Vileplume was hurt badly and began
crying. Icy was very sad that Porygon's attack was so strong. "Oh my. Erika,
I'm sorry." Icy ran over to Insane's backpack and found a potion spray. He
then gave it to Erika. "I'm sorry. I didn't know Porygon would be that
sharp. I hope this heals your Vileplume." She applied the potion to
Vileplume. It recovered quickly.
    "Thanks, Icy. Well, I guess you win. I'd be a little more careful with
that Porygon of yours. Here's your Rainbow Badge!" Icy took the badge from
Erika and ran back to the group. "OK, who wants to go next?" The other
members of Clan Caterpie tried to decide who would battle Erika next.

Insanellama decided he would go next. "It'll be a two on two," said
Erika. "That's right up my alley mam," said Insanellama.
"GO TANGELA"
"GO PONYTA!"
"TANGELA CONSTRICT NOW!"
"PONYTA FIRESPIN NOW!"
Ponyta's firespin connected, but tangela managed to reach through the
fire and choke ponyta. When the smoke cleared, both pokemon were down.

"VICTREEBEL GO!"
"Now you'll face the other half of my firey duo, RAPIDASH GO!"
"RAPIDASH STOMP NOW!"
"VICTREEBEL VINE WHIP!"
Ponyta was faster, and took a running leap over the vines, and came
crashing down on Victreebel.
"VICTREEBEL STUN SPORE NOW!"
Without warning Rapidash reared up on its front legs and mule kicked
Victreebel. The spores connected, but victreebel was out cold. "What
tha? I didn't give that command." said Insanellama. Erika tossed him a
Rainbow badge. Insanellama went over to his two firey horses, and
healed and hugged them. The next matches were one on one. X's abra
defeated Erika's Weepinbel. Firestorm's charmander beat Erika's
Tangela. Toocold's eevee beat Erika's oddish. Lonewolf's vulpix
defeated Erika's Weepinbel.

"Hey." Random smiled cooly at Erika.
"What?" Erika snorted.
Random looked around, "Sup?"
"You want a match too?" Erika grabbed her balls. (ew.)
"Sure."

Everyone looked at Random. He was acting pretty weird.

Random tossed Growlithe onto the floor.
Erika tossed Weepinbell out.

"Growlithe, do something."
"Weepinbell, use Razor Leaf!"

The leaves singed as Growlithe launched flames across the plant PokeMon.
Random smiled cheerfully, yet a bit dazed.

"w00t." Random sighed. "Go, Jigglypuff."
Growlithe returned to his PokeBall as Jigglypuff was released. Erika responded
by firing out Victreebell.

"Jigglypuff, sing."
"Petal Dance now!"

Jigglypuff got the first shot in somehow, rendering Victreebell asleep.

"Pound 'em!" Random spoke with little passion.

Jigglypuff began hopping high into the air and body slamming her foe with
vigor. The enemy PokeMon was soon fainted. Jigglypuff hopped behind Random and
wiped her sweat from her brow.

"Yeah... that was nice." Random breated deep.

Erika looked at Random curiously. "Here is your badge." She cheerfully handed
the Rainbow emblem over.

"Yeah... thanks a lot." Random gingerly gripped the badge.

Random sat down and passed out. Ivan grabbed Random with his vine and dragged
him outside.

Dev looked at X, "must be the perfume."
X responed, "must be."

Jigglypuff remained where Random sat down. She began glowing....

"WIGGLY!!!" The great voice bellowed.

"WIGGLY..... tuff?" The freakish balloon bounced around the building, taking
bites out of Erika's plants and harassing Icy.

"WIGGLYWIGGLYWIGGLYWIGGLYWIGGLY!!!" She hopped outside to greet her master.
Ivan scampered off back into the Gym.

Wigglytuff sat atop her master and fell asleep with him.

Last time,
Clan Caterpie decides to get some Rainbow Badges. Everyone is doing real
decent. Random gets high on perfume and passes out outside the gym. His
Jigglypuff evolves into a Wigglytuff when no one is looking. He ('Tuff)
sleeps atop Random's chest.

"ACK!" Random squirmed to a safe distance.
"WIGGLY - -TUFF!!!" The homely PokeMon roared.
The Twisted PokeDex announced, *Wigglytuff - an EVIL type PokeMon. Easily the
most hated of all PokeMon: Run.*
"Yeah." Random grabbed a Pokeball and brought the wicked balloon inside. He
pulled a small lock and chain from his bottomless pack and fastened it around
the ball.
Random inspected the ball, "Good enough."
He stood up and rejoined the clan.
