Cerulean City Gym

... WTF? ... Seriously, WTF?

It's been a long time since I was here, but this is just... WTF?

I got something in the mail today and... It's a wedding invitation.

To Jessie and James's wedding...

With Meowth as Best Man...

And Ash of all people as Maid of Honour...

I just... WTF?

Well, anyway... I guess I should go, even if it's just to see how ridiculous Ash looks as Maid of Honour...

Who knows, maybe while I'm there I could even tell Ash something I've been meaning to for a long time... Although, maybe it'd be better if I didn't... At least, not yet.

Nothing's going to stop his quest to become a Pokémon Master, and I can't just start travelling with him like the old days again either... I'm a Gym Leader now, I have too many responsibilities. Although, I will have to tell him one day once his journey finally ends, even if I don't yet know when that will be.

Well, things have gone from busy... To more busy... And of course, my sisters are completely useless. >_>;;

So, I'll be leaving the Network for a while. ^^;; Maybe once things cool down a bit I'll be able to come back, not making any guarrantees though.

A whole month? Wow, time goes fast when handling a gym...

Although since this lockdown, it's been quite a bit less work... Although my sisters are more restless, to it balances out. ^^;;

Ack! I've forgotten to update this thing!

I've been so busy working on the Gym that I totally forgot. (And my sisters aren't exactly helping in that department...)

Well things are relatively fine, if not busy that is. I see that Brock is back now too. Brock, how was it that you managed to take care of a gym AND NINE little brothers and sisters? (Although, I'm guessing that your nine little brothers and sisters were easier than my three older sisters... -_-;;)

Well, things are running somewhat normally... I guess at least Cerulean is lucky enough to have a somewhat benevolent Rocket in charge unlike some nutcase like others I've seen before. Cerulean's "Prince" has allowed the gym a budget to put on mini tournaments and water ballet, so things aren't all THAT bad. Although it would be nice if things returned to normal.

I feel so useless... Team Rocket has full control of Cerulean... I should have stopped them, but I didn't. I just gave up... I... I just didn't want to put the citizens at risk in a fight... What can I do? They've got me working with them... At least the guy in charge is somewhat reasonable, but still... I guess there's nothing I can do at this point but make sure things run smoothly...

... Ash Ketchum, where is that blockhead when you need him? He was always able to luck his way out of these situations... Team Rocket have invaded the city and many of the locals have turned to the local Gym Leader for help. That of course being myself. I don't remember anything signing me up for this kind of situation. How am I supposed to get myself out of this?

Why can't the people turn to someone else? I'd be a lot happier if I just had to deal with those idiots after Pikachu again... Ash'd be able to deal with this... He's even defeated the Iron Masked Marauder before. Of course, he's most likely still lost in a forest, completely oblivious sending those fools blasting off again while rambling about getting his next badge... Or rather... Frontier Symbol now, isn't it?

Well, my swimming lessons with Erika have finally started! It was nice to have her over and teach her how to swim without too much trouble... (Seriously... I've been trying to teach Psyduck how to swim for years now... And he's still afraid to even get near the water... -_-;;)

Well, I haven't had many challengers lately, so my sisters have been using the gym for their water ballet. Anyway, now I'll be giving private swimming lessons to Erika! That should be fun. Although... There is the fact that Rory Warfield kind of just invited himself... He kind of reminds me of Ash, particularly the idiotic bike destroying Ash I met five years ago on Route 1.

(OOC: Locked from Rory. XD)

Ok... What's going on here? I woke up this morning to find this really weird creepy bug looking at me! It was totally gross. It seems that my sisters are the ones who brought it in... Apparently it's a water bug named "Surskit". Even if it is a water type, it's still REALLY gross. Why did they bring it in here?

Well, here I am. I'm back on the Network!

I sort of just disappeared a little while ago, didn't I? ^^;;
Sorry about that.

But hopefully, this time I'll be back to stay! I can't wait to talk to you all again. ^_^
