The Olive city Steel Gym: Earn the Mineral badge!

April stood in shock for a moment. Her eye twitched. She then slowly patted mr. moo's head then Thwack! "Very impolite."

Sami could tolerate the harm of a person who had been rude to him but NOT his new friend, he looked like he was going to cry "h-he doesn't mean anything by it April-san a-and I'll train him not t do that but I... I really don't want you to hurt him though because he's my friend and all he wants to do is love..." Gene thought he was talking about him "Oh Sami-chan! our love will-" "she wasn't talking about you!" Said Mariah menacing to knock him down again

April softened up at the site of sami's almost tearfilled eyes. She gave him an apologetic hug. "I'm sorry. It's my fault; I overreacted."

Mr. Moo licked her again "no baaad Mr. Moo!" he said Sami only a little less frantic as Mr. Moo licked him again leaving slobber all over his face

April's eye twitched, then she took a deep breath to calm down.

Despite the licking the little pink thing WAS very cute, just a bit dim. It wobbled around after Sami as he tried to teach it to stop doing what it had been doing since birth

April sighed as she looked at sami cutely chasing mr moo. She looked to see a smitten gene. April smacked the back of his head. "Staring is very impolite."

Gene sighed "Im wairing an eyepatch so as much as I would like to star at her I cant from this angle, and Mariah is a very jelious woman" Mariah was indignent "jellious? I feel sorry for the poor gil, unlike me she cant fend off your moronic advaances"

April looked to gene. "Honestly, you need to get your head into reality."

Gene had nothing to say but he was NOT by any means defeated

Mariah had taken a liking to these people and since it was a slow day she decided to close the gym for the time being

Sami finally caught Mr. Moo and now made his way to April "April-san.... how do I tell a pokemon to be good?"

April thought about it. "I think it's a trust thing. You trust them to be good, they'll trust you to be nice." Then a small flicker of evil came to her eyes. "Then again, you need to enforce rules."

Mariah spun a mineral badge on her finger "hay Sami, these things are special, they can make poekom listen to you if you ware them" he looked at it with an odd mix of honest amazement and subtle skepticism "but I cant give it to anyone unless they fight me with pokemon and win" she went on to explain gyms to them

April grew a little mad, yet a little worried. Sami can't go down that path. April hugged sami close. "Don't listen. Just stay with your pokemon and they'll listen. Trust me."

Sami fit in to her arms peirfectly, as he would with anyone. He looked up "okay April-san, I wasnt going to fight anyway... fighting is scary remember?"the voices didnt much like that but Sami could stand that, he loved to be huged

April smiled a bit and let go after a few more seconds. "That's a good boy..." Oops. She Shouldn'ta said that.

((oops?))

((now you react to the "Good Boy"))

((edited.))

Gene was in disbelif anyway, if the all migty himself desneded from heven and told him Sami was a guy he still would not be convinced, Sami, actualy being a boy was not use to the whole girl routene and therefore expecbeted to called a boy he paused for a moment but decided beter of reacting since it had gone unoticed

April may not have a watch, but it seemed time to depart. "Sami, let's get going. We can come back tomorrow."

Sami took her hand, holding mr bun in his arms, Skitty kitty on his head and mr moo folowing "okay then goodbuy Mariah-san"

April waved with her other arm. "We'll see you again tomorrow."

Sami felt relived, he never lied to people so that whole girl rutine had been ver hard on him, he did not honetly even want to do it, Mr moo wadled while mooing queitly

April led sami through town as a mother would her child. She was wondering how a lickitung mooed, but maybe she could ask later. The two reached the hotel and entered the lobby, then to the elevator.

((you didnt give me much to work with...))

Sami sighed a little, he was never at ease with himself after doing what the voices told him
