Yahoo! Part 4 already! It seemed only yeasterday that I made Part 1.
Alrighty then! Let's get this thing started!


   "Whew! We finaly got out of that creepy forest." Misty said and sighed.

   "You can say that again." May replied.

   Mark and Ash were the only ones who didn't cry. Ash was just relaxed.
But Mark was blushing (Ooooo! You have to hear this one). Mark was stiff
with embarresment. All the way, through Route 32, May held his hand
because she was scared of the Bug pokemon. The good thing was, he caught
a new pokemon!

   "Well lets see how Abra is doing." Mark said after he left his trance.

   Mark let Abra out of his Poke Ball. Abra was pretty beat up by Cubone's
bone club. Luckily, there was a Poke Center was near, also the next gym.
Mark thought the gym leader, Bugsy of the Azalea Town Gym, was sorta
cute, but not as cute as May. Ash thought the same thing about Misty.

   "Hey, look over there. There's a Poke Center." Ash said.

   Mark ran over to the center and told Ash to come with him.

   "Why not us?!" Misty and May asked angerly with anime veins above their
heads.

   "Because we need to talk." Mark replied.

   Ash just shrugged.
   
   @In the Pokemon Center@

   Mark gave Abra to the nurse and told Ash what happen in Route 32. Mark
was practicaly blushing through the whole story. Every detail was said
and not one detail was left out.

   "You thought that was bad, Misty was leaning on me, at least I think she
was." Ash explained.

   "Well, I think that she thinks I'm crazy about how I act." Mark said
with a sigh.

   Mark suddenly spotted a familiar face. He had long, red hair and wore a
black coat and black pants. On the front of his coat, were two Johto
League badges. Mark knew him.

   "JAMIE!!" Mark yelled

   "Oh, I thought I would never see the day. When Mark, the loser from New
Bark would get a pokemon after I got what he wanted before he did." Jamie
said with a smile.

   Jamie looked at Mark and vice versa. Then Jamie looked at Mark's Cubone.

   "You creep! Your the one who got my Cyndaquil that one day, you jeark!"
Mark yelled in rage. "And I challenge you to a pokemon battle!"

   Both of them agreed to fight with only four pokemon. Mark chose to use
Pichu first. Jamie used his Zubat. Pichu was comanded to use Thundershock
attack. Zubat dodged the attack. Zubat then used a powerful Absorb
attack. Pichu was out of the fight.

   "PICHU!!" Mark yelled.

   "You were always a weakling, in pokemon battles and school games." Jamie
snickered.

   "I choose you, Abra!" Mark comanded, not minding the statement.

   Abra was pretty strong for his size. The unormal thing about Abra was
that he had a scar that was on his right eye. Abra leered at the Zubat.
Suddenly, Abra created a psychic tornado to try to beat Zubat. But, took
Mark off his feet. Mark was going to forfit the match, or risk the Poke
Center to be destroyed.

   "I forfit!" Mark yelled while returning Abra.

   Ash was surprized. Mark never forfited before.

   "See ya later loser rival! Ha Ha Ha!" Jamie snickered.

   Mark cursed under his breath. Jamie wants a rival huh? Well he'll get
one alright. Ash told Mark that it was time to go to the next gym. Mark
cooled down. They both met Misty and May outside the Azalea Town gym.

   "I'm ready guys, wish me luck!" Mark said as he entered the gym.

   *I can't belive that I love him.* May thought as she looked loveingly at
the thirteen year old boy.

   Little did Mark know, that Bugsy was having a celebration on her 100th
win in two months. Mark just made a big mistake!

   "Bugsy! I challenge you to a pokemon battle!" Mark yelled.

   "How dare you mess up my 100th win celebration!" Bugsy yelled back
"Prepare to lose, I choose you, Metapod!"

   Chear leaders chanted,"Bugsy, Bugsy she's our girl. If she can't win, no
one will!"

   Mark had a anime sweat drop above his head. Mark then chose Houndor to
fight. Mark thought this match was in the bag. Mark comaded Houndor to
use Flamethrower attack, but did not uise it. He ran and tackled Metapod.
It was a one hit KO. But somehow Bugsy did not care and smiled.

   "I'll wipe that smile off your face,  Cubone, go for it!" Mark yelled.

   "CUBONE!" Cubone said, ready for a fight.

   Cubone did not go in a Poke Ball, so saw Bugsy's stratigy. Cubone stared
down new chosen pokemon, Scyther. Amasingly, Cubone used his Bonemerang
and Scyther just deflected the attack. The bone club came back and hit
Cubone's helmet and did a one hit KO. Mark then used Abra. Now, Abra was
more mad than ever.

   "Hey, thats the Abra I encountered on my outside walk. Scyther used Fury
Cutter on it and made a scar." Bugsy explained.

   "And I think he wants to get even and... WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!" Mark
yelled.

   Little did any one know, Abra was getting ready to use a Hyper Beam
attack, one of the deadly attack in the Pokemon League.
