The Fourth Gym

     Finding the fourth gym wasn't very hard. I found an old man outside the gym and was wondering what he was doing. "I'm looking at the ladies here, because there isn't anything else to do around here." "Uh-huh."

I just met you and this is crazy, I have Pokémon so let's battle, maybe?

     Walking into the gym I see that it really is all females. I battle each one and each has a various grass type and they all use the grass type. Just as promised. I see the leader and ask for a battle. " Before we battle you have to escape when I beat you. There is something going on whenever I defeat a gym leader they die and now you have to go before it's too late."

Always works.

In the weeks I have been here I have learned that Flying>Grass

Still true.

I bet you do!

Woo!

     The dust had settled on another battle and I see that there is nothing happening. I look around and everyone has since left the area. Erika is not tied to the gym in anyway and we make a break for the door.

     We are near the last tree to cut and something catches her foot. It's a long vine. Dragging her back into the gym and into a pit. Pokémon Erika has been lost. Was it a Pokémon that dragged her down?

     With Picard lost, I had to take him to the Pokémon tower and break my own personal promise that I wouldn't have to come back here. I am starting to sense that I will see this place more and more as my journey gets longer and harder. I walk upstairs to where my friends are and I see a familiar face that I just didn't want to see.

What is he doing here?

...

You..

     "Shut up! He died because of this stupid game I am in and can't seem to get out of. Four people have died because of me and I have had enough. I quit."

     "If you quit you die as well."
