Chapter 7: Clash on the Nugget Bridge
We finally arrived to Cerulean and the first thing we did was heading to the PokéCenter to heal my party and check on the new... errr... "recruits"

"Nice nature for a Zubat"
"One pokémon on Glenn's party... ha, ha, ha... Two pokémon on Glenn's party...ha,ha,ha..."
"Err...Whatever...^^U"

"Yet another nice nature..."
"Of coursssssse it isssss mere human! Who do you think you are for judging my greatnesssssss?"
"Okay...I think I'll keep you boxed for the next three or four millennia..."
"No...wait... I jusssst feel ssssssssso lonely..."
And after checking my new catches it was time to check the new gym on sight

"Mermaid huh? It must be a water type specialist"
"Go Glenn! Love must prevail! Waff must prevail!"
"Wha..."
"It's time to get you a waifu?"
"Whatever...^^U Juan Pablo, it's time to shine for you"
"¡Al fin! Podreis contemplar mi maravillosa grande..." )("Finally! All of you will be able to see my marvelous greatne...")
"After a hellish and spartan training season that is..."
FACEPALM
"Problem?"
"No... Voy a electrocutarte mientras duermes, lo juro por todos los Pichus de Johto" ("No... I'm gonna shock you while you're sleeping, I swear it for all and every Pichu in Johto")
After such charming speech coming from my international rat, we saw an interesting place for warming up a bit.... However, there was a catch... There's always a friggin' catch...

"Oy... If it's my good friend Gaylo"
"It's Gary "Motherfucking" Oak, you Sinnoh chump!"
"Friendly as always, huh?"
"I've just caught quite the bunch of smart and strong pokémon"
"And...?"
"How about I kick your ass?"
"I needed a warm up after all..."
"Warmed? You're gonna end up burnt Glenn!"
Ready to rumble? Round 3 Fight!

"Pidgeotto go"
"Juan Pablo, be a bro"
"Pollo Frito estilo Kanto, ME GUSTA" ("Kanto Fried Chicken, I LIKE IT")

"FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
"Problem, Gary?"
"Just wait and see! Rattata, kick his ass!"
"Knux... You know the drill"
"Y...yes..."

"I...I can't believe this..."
"Who's daddy little powerhouse?"
"I am"
"Yes you are"
"Shut up, you Sinnoh chump! Abra!"
"Maddie, don't let him attack at all"
"Yes I'll totally corner that thing"
![Image](http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/3444/garyabradown.png)
"Wha...wh...why...how..."
"Only one hit? Like that sucks..."
"Stop laughing you two... Squirtle, time to win this battle"
"Wait... Squirtle. You haven't evolved your starter yet?"
"Wh...Did you"
"The lovely Ignis salutes you"
"...I hate you so much Glenn..."

"I lost...?"
"Haven't I lucked out this time, Gary?"
![Image](http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/3568/garyloss2.png)
"Whatever..."
"I'll get you someday, I swear to Arceus that I will"
"Gee... Stop it drama queen..."
"I...I feel like funny..."
"Maddie are you okay?

"I feel like I can gnaw my way through everything"
"Congrats for your rodent's evolution Glenn"
"Thanks..."
"And by the way, you should try to go and see Bill. He has quite the collection of rare Pokémon, maybe you'll learn something..."
"That was surprisingly useful..."
"Well then, smell ya later..."
And there he went... way to the gym, but this time he actually ended up being useful... Maybe I should follow his advice for once.
"What are we gonna do now?"
"First of all healing you guys and then heading to Cerulean Cape, it seems to be patches of grass there"
"Sounds sensible"
"But before all that... Knuuuux"
"Don't hurt me...."
"Wanna be awesome...? <3"
"Awa,awa,awa... I'm not sure..."
"Sorry you don't have a choice...<3"
"I feel weird... Something's not normal..."

->
"Yes, yes, yes... All of my yes..."
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFF
"Suck my long and hard Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaff!"
"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea..."
"Nonsese Icarus!"
*The lovely Ignis bends over
"Not now Ignis!"
"Aaaaaw!"
After getting such a powerhouse on my team it was time to give him a good use.

"So...?"
"If you beat all trainers in this bridge you'll get an amazing prize as a reward" The young bug catcher told me
"Fine, bring it"
"I'll be your first opponent"
Clash on the Nugget Bridge
![Image](http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/3386/firstdown.png)
"Four more to go!"
"We're on a roll!"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFF!"
"I still think that evolving him so soon was a bad idea..."
"Hpmh! Amateurs!"
Flawless victory
"We made it!"
However after making it to the other side of the bridge and trying to claim the reward...
![Image](http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/5199/nuggetchallengereward.png)
"For such an amazing display of skill, accept this humble gift"
"A nugget?"
"Well duh... What did you expect from a place called NUGGET bridge?"
"LOVE...AND FUZZY FEELINGS"
A offer unable to be refused
"By the way young one, your skills should be polished in the most efficent ways..."
"What do you mean?"
"It would be such a waste just using those skills for gym battling... How about you join Team Rocket instead?"
"Not interested"
"My... so hasty... Reconsider the offer. You would be an executive in no time"
"Still not interested..."
"Ha,ha,ha... Do you think you have a choice in the matter? Let me show you how wrong you are!"
Rocket whooping
![Image](http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2642/rocketscouting.png)
"I'll show you the true power of Team Rocket, kid."
![Image](http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/7310/rocketscoutdown1.png)
"My... such a flashy battle style... But you won't be so lucky with my next Pokémon"
![Image](http://img547.imageshack.us/img547/5753/rocketscoutdown2.png)
"Okay... I give up this time... But remember, our paths will cross again..."
I just left him behind as I went to capture my next catch before heading to Cerulean Cape.
![Image](http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/4089/route24catch.png)
"O_o"
![Image](http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/6734/abracaught.png)
"Yes! Lucky!"
![Image](http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/7325/route25catch.png)
"I can work with that I guess"
"Ahora lo debilito, jefe..." ("I'll weaken it right now, boss...")
"Antidoto... ¡YA!" ("Antidote...NOW!")
After several trainers and wild battles I finally made my way to Bill's house just to find...
![Image](http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/7098/billfairy.png)
"A...Cleffairy? Does it belong to Bill by any chance?"
"Ahem... I'm Bill!"
"O_o"
"Okay... Allow me to explain you what happened...^^U"
...Several minutes of pointless explanation later...
"So...You created a Pokémon transporter..."
"Right"
"...And you fused your DNA with a Cleffairy by accident..."
"Uhmm... Yeah... "Accident"..."
"I don't know if..."
"Just help dammit!"
"Okay, what do I have to...?"
"Just push the enter button on that computer over there, the machine will do all the work"
![Image](http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/3295/justbill.png)
"Whew... I thought that I would spend the rest of my days doing Metronomes over and over. Thanks kid"
"You're welcome I guess"
"Allow me to introduce myself again. I'm Bill and I'm the one who developed the PC storage system"
"Nice to meet you. My name is Glenn"
"Take this ticket S.S. Anne ticket as a token of my thanks, Glenn"
"It's not..."
"It's not a bother... I've never liked that kind of parties and I'm sure that there will be plenty of trainers there. You'll be putting it to better use than me."
"Thank you then, it's been nice to meet you"
"Same here, if you ever need help with the storage sytem just let me know."
"I will"
"And good luck on your travel"
After knowing the first sane person since I left Pallet Town I found myself ready to challenge and beat Cerulean Gym's.
"Juan Pablo, you're gonna wreck that gym ^^"
"Lo sé" ("I know")
Meanwhile on Nugget Bridge...
Plot thickens
"It's me, James"
"I wasn't expecting any reports from you yet, anything interesting?"
"I just met an interesting one, the description matched with the young trainer that foiled our plans on Mt.Moon: young boy not older than 12 years old, short, spiky green hair and red eyes"
"Listen really carefully, James. I want you to become his shadow, monitor every moment he makes and report them to me inmediately"
"Roger that, sir"
"Good, I'll look forward to your reports"
"This is James signing out"
*James hanged up his cellphone and lit a cigarette
"My, my... It looks that my premonition will become a reality sooner than I anticipated..."
And meanwhile in Celadon City...
"Ha,ha,ha... Finally I've been able to find someone able to match our previous founder's battling skills. With him under my command I'll be able to rule Kanto with an iron fist. You can run, hide or struggle all what you want... But your destiny is joining us Glenn Lightblade... Mwahahahah!"
...Little I knew about what fate had in store for me....
