Misty: Hello! I'm Misty, Cerulean City Gym Leader!

Javi: Misty! I challenge you to a battle! If I win, you'll give me your Gym. And if you win... I'll buy you a new bike!

Misty: Of course! I have nothing to lose... Except the gym, of course XD

Javi: Also, if you win, I'll give you the bike. These things cost a fortune

Misty: Javi! I beat you!
Your Pokemon is fainted! What do you want me to do?

Javi turns and sees his Charmeleon passed out

Javi: Misty! What's wrong with you!? I wasn't even going to use my Charmeleon!

Misty: I'm sorry, Javi, but in a battle you can do whatever you want... Even cheating.

Javi: W-what!? Oh really!? And yet you call yourself a Gym leader?

Javi helps his Charmeleon to its feet, and brings it back to his side.

Misty: Of course! I am a fair Leader, but I must also be cruel so that my opponents learn
And it's not cheating... It's not my fault... that your Pokemon isn't strong enough

Javi: What... WHAT DID YOU SAY!?

Javi and Charmeleon look at each other, both offended by Misty's comment.

Well you asked for it! I will use Charmeleon!

Misty: Javi, don't do it! If you fight my Gyarados, the Charmeleon won't last even 30 seconds!
Please, Javi, I'm so sorry.

Javi: STOP BELITTLING MY CHARMELEON ALREADY!
Charmeleon, use Attraction... on Misty!

Charmeleon begins to dance suggestively

Misty: Hey! Charmeleon, what are you doing? I can't... stop... looking at him...

Javi: Misty! Command your Gyarados to attack itself!
Do it... do it for Charmeleon...

Charmeleon looks at Misty with a smile, and blows out smoke in the shape of a heart.

Misty: I can't anymore... I can't... Control myself...!
Gyarados! Attack yourself...

He hits his head and passes out.
Misty starts looking at Charmeleon with intensity.

Javi: Ehm... Charmeleon! I think it's better that you come back... and just in case, get behind me...
Mawile! I choose you!

Mawile goes out to the battlefield

Misty: Hey, hey, you can't put a Pokemon as horrible as Mawile in front of me.

That Pokemon is horrible, horrible! It is... The ugliest Pokemon in the world
I... I hate it...
Ps... Ps... Psyduck! Use the water with your tail! Ps-ps-ps!

Javi: Did you just CALL MY MAWILE UGLY!?
STOP BELITTLING MY POKEMON!

Cries out of frustration

Mawile!... Hit Psyduck... WITH IRON HEAD!

Misty: Ooh! Psyduck is so scared by Mawile, that he actually activated his psychic powers!
Psyduck... Use Confusion!

The Psyduck shakes its head vigorously, dealing damage to Mawile in the process, causing it to hit the ground... It can't do anything!

Javi: Oh no...

Mawile faints, and Charmeleon is horrified to see Psyduck in his Avatar state, who seems unstoppable.
Javi looks at Charmeleon

Eh... Charmeleon... I-I choose you?

Misty: Javi... you've beaten me again!
I will leave these medals for you!

She gives Javi a badge she calls the friendship badge.

Goodbye Javi!

She walks away, but looks back
On the badge, on the back, is a note that reads: "No matter what, Misty loves you."

Javi: Oh how cute... Misty loves m-
Wait... "No matter what"?
Misty... W-W-WHY ARE YOU RUNNING OUT OF THE GYM!?

Misty picks up her pace, as Psyduck begins to rise up, scream louder, and psychic waves are seen coming out of his body.

Misty: N-nooo!
That Psyduck is out of control! I want to go!

She escapes from the gym, and runs away

Javi: Misty! Are you seriously going to leave us alone against Psyduck!?
Are you going to leave Charmeleon alone...?

Charmeleon looks at her with tender, big, teary eyes.

Misty: N-no... It's just... Oh...
Charmeleon! You look cute and precious!

Hugs Charmeleon

I don't want you to be left alone, Charmeleon! We can both go!

She picks up Charmeleon in her arms, so she can get out of the Gym faster before Psyduck attacks them.
At that moment, Psyduck remains floating and releases an explosion that begins to devastate the entire gym.

Javi: Well... at least Misty will also fall with us, haha...

Misty: Ouch! You got me right

Misty realizes what is happening.

Oh no and now I'm stuck here!

Closes her eyes, expecting the worst
The Gym is collapsing

Javi: Mawile... use Protection on all of us, and then use Sing!

Mawile protects them and begins to sing. Everyone, including Psyduck, begins to feel very sleepy.
Misty starts to feel very sleepy, and snuggles up with Charmeleon.

Misty: Good... night, Javi...
Oh, I'm so sleepy... Do you mind if I fall asleep here? Bye, Javi...

She falls asleep in Charmeleon's arms
After a while, Misty starts to wake up, and sees Psyduck looking at her curiously.

(Mood change music)

Misty: Hmm, what's going on...?

Rubs her eyes

... Oh God! Am I in a Gym? And there's Psyduck!

Misty jumps up, and then realizes that she is in Charmeleon's arms.
Speaks in the poshest voice possible

Ow ow! Charmeleon, you saved my life!
This is the most romantic thing anyone has ever done to me!

Psyduck and Javi try to hold back their laughter when they see that Charmeleon tries to escape and Misty doesn't want to let go.

No... Let me hold Charmeleon, Javi! I need to meet this Pokemon...
You saved my life, Charmeleon!

She grabs him tightly by his shoulders.

Daddy, I want to be your friend, Charmeleon. Can you give me your Pokemon number?

They all feel a disturbance in the force and turn to face the opposite direction. It is Mawile, who is filled with jealousy watching the scene. Mawile makes a face of uncontrollable anger.

Misty: H-H-Hi Mawile! Oh, you are... D-D-D-Divine!

She compliments Mawile

Y-y-y-you have a face like a porcelain doll, and the voice of a princess!

She tries to make Mawile smile

Y-Y-Y-You look like... like... the... The Queen of England herself!

Mawile calms down and looks away, making a typical Tsundere gesture.

Javi: Misty... Are you saying that you don't think Mawile is "horrible and ugly" anymore?

Misty: Of course I'm saying it! Mawile is...is...is...is...beautiful!

Mawile is beautiful and precious! What I said before was out of envy. Sorry Mawile.

She cuddles and then bows her head

I beg your pardon, Mawile. Will you forgive me?

Mawile smiles at Misty and hugs her.

Javi: Aww... Well, now that we are all friends...
I think in the middle of the battle, someone said that I won, right?

Misty: Oh, right, how could I forget!
You win, Javi. Congratulations!
Now it's your turn to use the gym! You deserve it!

Javi: Thanks Misty! I promise to take care of this great gym!

At that moment, the last piece of the gym ends up falling, which was completely destroyed by Psyduck.

Oh...

Misty freaks out when she sees the Gym fall to the ground.

Misty: Oh no! He totally wrecked it!

She stares at the ruins of the Gym

Oh no. The only home I had was the gym. How am I supposed to live now...?

She starts having an anxiety attack

Javi: Misty, let's make a deal... If you help me rebuild the Gym... it can also be your home again!
And in exchange, I will only take the title deeds of the place...
You know, all that bureaucratic and evil stuff, in exchange for receiving a percentage of the Gym's profits.

Misty: Of course, Javi! I'd love to help you rebuild, and I can be your business partner too!
I have a better offer... How about we also give it a sense of local community?
For example, we can use the Gym for swimming classes, and for children to use it as a place of entertainment!
I'm telling you... They're going to want to come back again and again! That sounds good?

Javi: That would be an even cooler idea!
Misty, you are a visionary! How about I go pick up the deeds that are over there in the ruins of your office, while you and your Pokemon bring over the cleanup tools so we can start rebuilding?

Misty: What a great idea, Javi!
I'm going to bring my best Pokemon to help us clean up! We are going to get to work!

Misty pats Javi on the back, and runs off to get her Pokemon.

I'll be back in no time, Javi!

After several minutes, Misty returns happy with her Pokemon and cleaning tools, and sees Javi, Mawile, and Charmeleon, in the distance, running away with the title deeds to the Gym.

Javi: Misty! Ehm... We forgot some things with my Pokemon!
You guys start rebuilding and we'll be back soon!

They keep running without looking back
Misty nods and starts getting the shovels, sticks, and brooms out of the back room. She gives them to the Pokemon
Then, she gives each one a shovel, and tells them how to use it.

Misty: Okay, we'll be ready when Javi gets back!

Javi, Charmeleon and Mawile continue to run without stopping, while the scene darkens and the credits begin to appear...
Misty looks at things in the dark, and grabs an ax to chop down the weed. She does not see where she is going, and crashes into some branches

Ouch! Ow... Ouch! What... what is happening?
I see the credits! W-W-Why... Why is this happening?!

Post Credits Scene:
Misty finishes rebuilding the Gym after several months, still wondering what time Javi and his Pokemon will return.
Having completely fixed up the Gym, and having changed the name to "Misty and Javi's Gym" (without Javi's consent)

Misty: Everything is already fixed!
Now all that remains is for Javi to come back, and for us to go live here...
Why is he taking so long? D:
