Pokemon Quartz

Part 46

I guess I'll check out the S.S. Foxy

It's uh... sort of small isn't it? Unless it's just really low on the water or something, it's kind of hard to tell at this level.

Pretty cool though

Lady, don't you know who I am!?

I'm the one this boat is named after

It's more then I should need, really.

Let's see, I can go to SeaBlue, or I can go to... uh... wait, what? An Oil Platform? Why does S.S. Foxy sail to an Oil Platform?

I must investigate this Oil Platform... maybe it has a helicopter or something

Weee

Well... this is an Oil Platform alright

I see no Helicopters sadly

V That's the breaks, guys.

I'm sort of wondering that myself...

I've been to alot of pointless places, to be honest. This isn't all that more pointless then the others when you get down to it

I mean, at least I'm not running through the dark blindly to deliver glue or anything

A gym?

... ohhhh.

I guess this is the mysterious 9th Gym they spoke of. Well, it's worth a shot. Team Foxy will go for their final win

I thought most Pokemon Gyms were located in important towns. Not you know... shut-down Oil Rigs.

Aaaand inside the building is a Bar.

...

I'm a girrrrrllll not a guy

why did you notice my age before my gender

_{CORNA IS NOT GOOD FOR MY SELF IMAGE}

Are you kidding? Have you met other Pokemon Trainers before? They're icky

Ehhh, I've probabally been training freaks of nature longer then he has been a gym leader so I probabally have an advantage here, I guess.

So when you get down to it, it's sort of like that one movie, Free Willy. But instead of a kid helping a whale escape so it can have a life, it's a full grown man helping a gym start so an oil rig can keep getting used... or something? Why are you so attached to this oil rig anyway?

... wait, wait, I get it. It makes sense now. We're wayyyy offshore from Corna's mainland, in international waters.

I don't even want to know what you guys are doing out here.

We'll see about that

I've been on quite the winning streak for awhile now.

Thanks for saying that, uh, random elevator lady

Yes?

You know, I always assumed that oil rigs were mainly above the water, only have certain pump/ oil storage areas under the water line. Boy is my face red!

TO THE GYM!

You know, I'd make a U2 joke but... I really don't like U2 very much

One double kick.

The pressure of Fuegomelet's foot on your face!?

Okay, anddd now for the next trainer:

... oh, we're already at the gym leader. Well... um... okay.

: "Maybe... sometime anyway."

: " ... "

: "Look, I have the contract mailed in and everything! With all the stamps and and

Under the sea, under the seaaaa
Darling it's better down where it's wetter
Take it from meeee
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we're devoting full time to floating
Under the seaaaaa

Claude always loved that song

I miss Roxy and gang
