Smiling inwardly after her first successful magic show, Kalina headed into the gym, looking around at the layout. "Umm, I'm here to battle for my gym badge" she called, idly making realistic looking Pokemon appear from her wand, such as Giratina, Regigigas and Shaymin before making them disappear.

"Aha, perfect," Mark gazed lovingly at his reflection in the mirror, affectionately combing through his silky brown hair. It had taken exactly 100 strokes to make it so perfect, and there was no way in hell he was messing it up today.
His ears pricked up. A challenger! Victory and a flawless hair day, what could possibly go wrong? Strolling out into the gym, Mark flashed his typical macho smile. "So, you're here for a ba...oh crap..." Stopping dead in his tracks, his grin faded as he caught sight of his challenger. Quick, act casual he thought to himself. Maybe she won't recognize you. "A badge. Yes, you're here for a badge... Choose your pokemon." He gulped. Dark eyes were locked on the floor, refusing to meet her gaze.

Kalina just stared at him with an odd expression, thinking about what he meant by the swearing just now. Taking out her badge case, she examined her badges to discover that she already had this badge. She quickly remembered how she got this badge and shuddered slightly, taking it into her hand. But as soon as it crumbled apart, she suddenly stared at him in fury. He had given her a fake badge the first time! "HOW COULD YOU!?" she yelled, rushing up to him and pinning him against the wall. "Give me the real badge right now!!" Her wand began to spark intensely as her anger rose, knowing all too well she had earned it for that...service...that she had performed for him.

Mark gulped. "I...can't. The league doesn't permit me to give real badges in exchange for... services... other than pokemon battling. I didn't think you'd come back here..." He squirmed in her grasp, the wand now dangerously close to his head. "If you want a real badge, you'll have to battle me. Although..."
He paused, grin returning as he uttered possibly his last words: "Wasn't that night worth a fake badge? I mean c'mon... I'm fantastic in bed."

"And yet you made me go through that, knowing that you weren't allowed!?" Kalina yelled, creating an Arceus from her wand. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't just tear your body to pieces right now!!" To demonstrate, the Arceus she created use Judgement and easily tore a massive hole through the ceiling.

Mark shrugged. "Eh, I've done it to tons of girls. Nobody's ever come back though..." He scratched his head, accidentally messing up his hair. With the threat of Arceus tearing him limb from limb, he decided it didn't matter. What was one out of place hair when you no longer have a head?
"Besides...If you kill me, you'll never get your badge, and you'll never get to the pokemon league. So there's a good reason," Mark's grin was back, this time for good.

Growling even louder, Kalina threw him all the way into the other wall before lifting him into the air with her wand. "Fine, we'll battle" she said. "But we're going to follow my rules. One on one, no substitutions. Any rule breaking, and that person loses. And it has to be a real badge this time" she told him, flinging him back into his corner. "Any attempt at trying to flirt with me, and the penalty will be most severe!"

Staggering to his feet, Mark dusted himself off. "I forgot how feisty you are. You were a firecracker in the bedroom..." Threat of death or not, he wasn't going to repress his natural pervertedness.
Digging through his pocket, he pulled out a pokeball. "No rule breaking. That means you have to use an actual pokemon, princess," He gazed at Arceus disdainfully. "You use any magical pokemon, and I'll report you to the pokemon league." Pokeball was tossed. A confused Shriftry gazed from Mark to Kalina and back again.
<First? Why am I out first? I'm never first...> It muttered to itself, assuming a fighting stance.

Giving a nod, Kalina released Solaris from his Pokeball. While the Solrock got ready, Kalina ordered the Arceus to use Judgement again. The magically created Pokemon gave a nod and fired the powerful attack straight at Mark, waiting until it was dangerously close to him. At the very last second, it went all around him, blasting a hole through the wall and through his office. "Next one won't miss" she threatened.

Mark smiled. Offices could be easily repaired. "Ooooh, you really know how to start things off with a bang, honey. Isn't that how you got the first copy of that badge? You know... I have a whole other stack in what used to be my office... And beating a pathetic Solrock always makes me kind of horny..."
Shiftry rolled his eyes. Lord, his trainer was an idiot.
Mark's grin never faded as he delivered the next line. "Besides darling, killing a gym leader is a federal offense. Even a scumbag like me. Kill me, and the elite 5 will hunt you down and make sure you never train pokemon again. I've seen the things they do..." He shuddered for effect, locking eyes with Kalina. "Your move, sweetheart."

However, Kalina didn't seem afraid in the least. Instead, she just laughed as he mentioned the Elite 5. "You really think I'm scared of them?" she asked, ordering Solaris to start with a Fire Spin attack. As the flames rushed towards Shiftry, she said "Then I'm afraid you're sadly mistaken." Kalina ordered another blast of Judgement, only this time it actually hit. However, she deliberately cut down the power, saying "The next one won't be held back." Of course, it was still very painful.

The slightest spark of anger flashed briefly from under Mark's calm exterior. "Try that again, baby. I'll have my Shiftry use razor leaf on your pretty face. I wouldn't want to mess up something so lovely, so perfect. And you should be afraid of the Elite 5, if you know what's good for you. They're the strongest trainers in the entire region. But I'm sure you knew that my dear."
Brown eyes shifted to his Shiftry, who was encased in a wall of flames. He could hear it's screams of agony as the fire scorched it's body. "Whirlwind," Mark commanded. "Blow those flames away!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Shiftry complied. It flapped it's leafy fan appendages violently, successfully freeing itself from fire-spin's bond. It jumped backwards a few paces, and continued to stare down it's foe.
There was that grin again...

"Oh, I know all too well how strong they are" Kalina laughed, his threat not phasing her in the slightest. "After all, one of them is my husband. Solaris, Fire Spin again!" As the flames rushed past, another Judgement blasted at Mark. This time, it hit with full power, blasting Mark off his feet. "Well, you did tell me to try it again" she laughed, clearly enjoying the punishment she was dishing out.

Expecting the second fire-spin, Shiftry dodged, just narrowly missing the flames. Mark wasn't so lucky. He pulled himself up, wiping a tiny trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth. He had bitten his lip in the fall.
"Husband? Which one? Can't be Blaze, he's gay. Shane's in love with someone else, Zintos is gone, so it must be..." A strange smile crept across his face. "I see. You think you're the only one, princess? Syl's had so many women...even more than me. Ask him about that time he got drunk and raped a woman in my car. And then refused to return her phone calls after she found out she was pregnant. Did he ever tell you that story?" Mark's smile turned venomous, dark eyes narrowed and gleaming. "It's a real good one. I think you'll enjoy it a lot."
Since he didn't have an order, and it's trainer's stories from the past bored him, Shiftry idly used razor leaf. It's heart just wasn't in this battle for some reason.

"Yeah, he already told me about that" Kalina laughed, not really phased in the slightest. "Not that I care. We're in love, and there's nothing you can say about it. And as for you constant 'princess' remark, you're actually right on the money with that one." Watching Solaris use Confusion to stop the half hearted Razor Leaf, he sent it right back at Shiftry with a proper attempt. "Looks like this battle isn't even a worthwhile challenge" she told him, sighing. "I might as well take my badge right now, seeing as none of you can be bothered."

Shiftry took the razor leaf like a champ. Several of them cut into his skin, but did little actual damage. It shrugged, folding it's fan-arms across it's chest and staring at Solaris. <Please just get it over with... I'm sick of Mark being a tool...>
"You say that now... But someday he's going to leave you just like he left the others. Did he tell you he was married once before...?" Mark dismissed her retorts with a wave of his hand.

<If that's what you want> Solaris said, using Fire Spin. <I have no choice but to listen to it.>
"Heh, I know my husband well. Probably better than he even knows himself. He won't leave me for anyone." Looking at the battle again, she remarked "Seems your Shiftry doesn't want to fight anymore. Guess that makes me the winner." One final blast from the Arceus, and then it disappeared. "Now, do you want to wait for your Shiftry to faint, or can I just collect the badge now?"

Mark shrugged. He didn't like to give up, but he also didn't like it that his Pokémon had lost faith in him so easily. "Fine, whatever. You win. Take your badge, but I guarantee you he will get bored and leave. Despite the fact that you're such a good lay."
He recalled Shiftry with a twisted grin, and held out a badge. "I think you should kiss me first."

"After everything you've done!?" she growled with anger, slapping him hard across the face as she took her badge. "Personally, I hope you die someday soon." And with that, she recalled Solaris and walked out the gym. But deep down, his words stung her heart, causing her to doubt again.
(Board ended)
