Fourth Round Rumble

Fourth Round Rumble

The gang were watching Gary's match in the Rock Field with his opponent Melissa

"Gary & Melissa are both down to one Pokémon, whoever wins this battle wins the match." The announcer said

"Do you think Gary is gonna win?" Misty asked

"I don't know, Melissa is pretty tough." Brock said

"Nidoking, Horn Attack." Gary said. Nidoking charged at Golem with his horn glowing white

"Golem, Seismic Toss." Melissa said. Golem grabbed Nidoking's horn, jumped into the air & slammed him on the ground causing him to faint

"NO!" Gary shouted

"Nidoking is unable to battle, Golem wins." The referee declared "So the match goes to Melissa."

"It can't be, how could I lose?" Gary said shockingly

After the match, the gang were outside

"I can't believe it." Misty said

"The competition here sure is tough, Ash." Brock said

"How could you lose?" A voice said

The gang peeked from the corner & saw Gary with his cheerleader

"This is the second time you lost a match!" Cheerleader 1 scolded

"Yeah, we thought you were unbeatable." Cheerleader 2 said in outrage

"Ladies relax, I'll get them next time, I promise." Gary said nervously

"Oh please, next thing we know, you'll be losing against Ash." Cheerleader 3 said

"You know what, Gary, we're done with you." Cheerleader 1 said

"Yeah, this has been a complete waste of our time." Cheerleader 4 said

"Girls, are you seriously gonna ditch me like this, I thought we were friends." Gary said

"Friends? Will you wake up & smell the coffee, we were only your friends because you're Professor Oak's grandson." Cheerleader 2 said

"That's right, & we only became your cheerleaders & traveled with you because the mayor of Pallet Town paid us to." Cheerleader 5 said

"W-what?" Gary said shockingly with wide eyes

"Come on, girls, let's go home." Cheerleader 3 said

"& I thought Ash was a loser." Cheerleader 4 said

Gary was silent as he fell to his knees in shock while the gang were surprised, well, except for Ash.

"Wow, that was pretty brutal." Misty said

"Why would the mayor of Pallet Town hire those girls to be his cheerleaders?" Brock said confusingly

"That's because the mayor is Gary's granduncle." Ash said

"Really?" Brock said surprisingly

"Yeah, & I'm not surprised that Gary's cheerleaders would abandon him like that after he lost the league." Ash said

"What do you mean, Ash?" Misty asked

"You say that like you somehow knew that was gonna happen." Brock said

"Well, back in Pallet Town when I was little, Gary & I used to be childhood best friends until a lot of kids wanted to be his friends just because he's Professor Oak's grandson. Gary let his popularity go to his head & became arrogant & egocentric while I was casted aside & was considered a loser. He didn't stand up for me, as a matter of fact, he acknowledged it & agreed with them." Ash explained
