At the core of Eterna City's surroundings, lied a Gym Leader like no other. Gardenia was known for her grass type specialty and carefree spirit. Being one of the earliest Gym Leaders, you might expect her to be one of the weakest - yet, you'd be wrong. Her Pokemon are no pushovers, and neither are her tactics; her Turtwig has unnatural speed and can just as easily avoid any attacks if they're not quick enough. Her Cherrim may seem harmless, but the field is its advantage due to the sun benefiting its ability, Flower Gift. However, the utmost dangerous threat is her ace, Roserade, who is a balance between both Cherrim and Turtwig. Its attacks are incredibly deadly and can pack quite a punch if one is not ready. Gardenia is very smart and will use every weakness to her advantage. A formidable opponent, but you knew just how to defeat her. Without further ado, you headed to her gym.
"You've kept me waiting, challenger," Gardenia greeted as you entered her nature-based dome. There she was, clad in her black long sleeveless crop-top and green cloak, brown cargo pants as well as her green boots and belt - looking as beautiful as a blossoming daisy with her half-black half-brown hair and chocolate-kissed eyes. Oh, she was quite the charmer, but you maintained control of your explicit yearnings and focused on the battlefield. "I'm Eterna's Gym Leader, Gardenia, the Grass-type master! It'll be my pleasure to see what kind of Pokemon you've raised so far!"
You ushered a lightweight chuckle as you reached for one of your Pokeballs. "It will certainly be a pleasure battling you, my dearest grass princess, but not because of the reasons you might think." You recalled the woman being tickled before infiltrating this world and you could only imagine the fantasies you were about to realize after the match. "Oh, this will be fun indeed. Send out your first Pokemon!"
Gardenia, perplexed by your odd words, shook her head and seized one of her own Pokeballs. "You've asked for it. Turtwig, show him what you're made of!" With that, she sent out her now-identified lead into battle. A small grass turtle emerged and gave a confident cry, signifying the start of the battle. You felt very bad for the Pokemon, since it did not know what it was up against.
"Hm, that's pretty cute," you commented absentmindedly, prompting the opposite Trainer and her Pokemon to frown slightly. Having studied all about the Pokemon world, you knew firsthand that grass type Pokemon were sorely weak to fire and flying types. Keeping this at the back of your mind, there was absolutely no way you could lose with this Pokemon. Especially considering that you had to raise it from scratch, its stats were off the charts. A Pokemon destined to crush all grass types. "Go, Talonflame!"
A majestic phoenix-like bird came out of your Pokeball and flew in up to the ceiling in a 90 degrees turn. Spreading its wings apart, the creature emitted a distinctive cry that made both Gardenia and Turtwig gape like fishes. Gardenia was severely doubting her own chances of winning. 'Wh-what is that Pokemon? I've never seen anything like it before. Its wings created fire out of thin air...which could only mean it's a fire type. But, that could only mean that this is...oh no.' It then dawned on her what possible typing the Pokemon had. If it truly was what she thought it was, then it could prove to be a big issue with the rest of her team.
Sensing the Gym Leader's distress, you smirked evilly. "It seems like you've figured it out. My Talonflame has a very special typing which makes it very difficult for any grass type Pokemon. It is a fire and flying type; your Pokemon is rendered useless against it!"
Before Gardenia could utter a response, you turned to your Talonflame with eagerness. "Use Brave Bird!" you compelled, pointing at the Turtwig. The bird nodded at your command and descended from the sky, its body being veiled in a blue aura. The poor turtle didn't have time to react and never stood a chance. Your Talonflame dove straight into the foe's Turtwig and made a collision. An echoed yelp resonated from the impact and dust shielded both Trainers from view. Once the dust died down, a fainted Turtwig was left, obviously overwhelmed by the preceding attack.
"Turtwig!" Gardenia called out to her heavily injured Pokemon. The latter did not as much budge. She grunted and returned it to its Pokeball. "Your Talonflame is really something. It even outsped my fastest Pokemon. To top it all off, that strength is remarkable. I don't think my other Pokemon stand a chance against yours. You've raised it really well," she stated in awe. "I believe this match goes to you, here's the badg--" You cut her off with a single hand motion.
"Thank you, but I do not want your gym badge as a reward. In fact, I have no use for it," you explained. Gardenia's confused gaze conveyed her thoughts. That's right, you wanted something completely different and more valuable than a gym badge. "The reward I want is not an item, but a person. You see, by losing this match, you are indebted to me. So as compensation, I want...you. From now on, you are my tickle slave - my personal toy." Gardenia's eyes widened in shock, but you weren't finished. "You will listen to me, as I am your new master. Every order is absolute and you must obey. Don't even think about running away; my Talonflame will easily find and bring you back. Follow these instructions and we will have no problem."
"What? You must be out of your mind!" Gardenia sputtered, taking a few steps back. Little did she know, you had secretly sent out a Gengar behind her back and she was caught in your trap with no escape.
"Gengar, hypnosis."
