"So you were going to tell us about Lt. PB and Karen, Quickie?" Sakura asked.
"Haha ahhh yes. The Dazzle Master and the Dark Mistress. Boy those two are a pair." Quickie laughed. "It all started about three years after PB and I met. We were in the Johto region around the Indigo Plateau. PB was practicing posing with his newly caught Magnemite, his Jolteon and his now evolved Electabuzz while I was drawing their silliness."
"THAT'S IT. STYLE! GRACE! THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE!! HAHAHAHA!!!!" Young PB yelled while dramatically posing. "COME ON, SOUL SHOCKER. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ARMS, LEGS, OR MUCH OF A BODY IS NO REASON NOT TO POSE. NOW DAZZLE ME!!!"
Magnemite then spun around and used a combination of electricity and the light on the sun off his steel to shine.
"Ohhhh that's adorable, Souly!" Young Quickie said while working on drawing Magnemite's pose!
"THAT'S THE STUFF!! I TRUST YOU'RE GETTING THIS, TALENTED ARTIST GIRL?!?!" Young PB yelled over to Young Quickie.
"You know it, PB!" Young Quickie smiled while drawing.
"GETTING WHAT, EXACTLY?!" a voice behind Quickie yelled out.
"EEEEEP!" Young Quickie yelped out as her sketch pad flew out of her hand and was caught by a silver haired girl. "You think after travelling with PB these past years would get me use to be startled by someone yelli." she thought to herself before being startled again.
"WHO DARES INTERRUPT MY LIGHT SHOW OF AWESOMICITY?" Young PB yelled out while running up behind Quickie.
"A LIGHT SHOW? HA! Foolish trainer. The light cannot compare to the darkness! PERHAPS YOU NEED TO BE TAUGHT THIS LESSON BY THE TWILIGHT GRIP OF THE DARK MISTRESS, KAREN!" she yelled out in response.
"Um, can I have my art book back plea..." Young Quickie muttered out before being interrupted again.
"YOU DARE CHALLENGE THE LIEUTENANT OF THUNDEROUS LIGHT? THE MASTER OF ELECTRICITY HIMSELF? YOU'RE ON, LADY!!!" Young PB boisterously replied to Karen. "ONE ON ONE BATTLE. TALENTED ARTIST GIRL WILL BE OUR JUDGE!"
"AGREED! LET'S SEE WHO SHALL REIGN SUPREME!" Karen arrogantly yells back while handing Young Quickie back her artbook!
"Sheeeesh. Another one." Quickie rolled her eyes while putting away her sketch pad. "Okay, lets get this show on the road. BEGIN!"
"TIME TO SHOW THIS WITCH OUR SPARK, PIZAZZLE BOLT!! GO!!" Young PB dramatically pointed as he sent out his Jolteon.
"GAZE INTO THE DARKNESS AND DESPAIR, MORTAL! GO OBSIDIA!!!" Karen dramatically pointed as an Umbreon appeared from out of her Pokeball.
"And it was one of the most incredible, and egotistical, Pokemon battles I had ever seen. Both Karen and PB would not let up. Jolteon & Umbreon battled for what seemed like days, even though it was just a couple hours."
"HOURS? Their one battle took HOURS?" Sakura shockingly asked.
"Yeah. They just would not quit. Both of them used their entire supply of Full Heals and Full Restores during the battle. In the end, it would wind up being a draw. Both Pokemon had exhausted all of their moves and they finally just collapsed. The two of them were both breathing heavily from the fight. And it was that day that I saw a look from PB that I had never seen before. I saw the same look in Karen's eyes as well. The two of them had fallen in love. Or lust. It was bizarre to say the least. I mean, we're talking about two extremely arrogant people here. Even I cannot explain it, but the passion that they felt in defeating one another morphed into passion for each other in general." Quickie smiled while reminiscing.
"Oh my god, it was love at first fight! That sounds like Lt. PB alright!" Sakura laughed.
"Indeed it was." Quickie responded. "They both share the same values, just in different ways. Both of them believe in winning with the Pokemon you love rather than just the best. While PB expresses it with his love of Electric Pokemon, Karen expresses it with her Dark Pokemon. Haha, and again, the arrogance."
"So what happened after the battle?" Sakura pondered.
Quickie just winked at Sakura as she remembered what happened next.
"So you want to be a member of the Elite Four, huh?" Young Quickie said while she saw Young PB's arms wrapped around Karen.
"Yes. Trainers today seem to go for power over love, and I want to show the best of the best that love will triumph over power in any battle!" Karen responded. "I have been disgusted by what I see from Pokemon trainers these days. At least, until I met you two. You two are the epitome of love & Pokemon training. Quickie, your art is inspiring. I understand now why this chump hangs out with you all the time. You capture Pokemon in a way I never even dreamed possible. I will treasure these drawings of my dear, dark Pokemon forever."
"It was my pleasure, Karen!" Young Quickie blushed while responding.
"And I shall treasure the Pokebeating this chump gave you this day!!" Young PB egotistically said while kissing Karen's cheek before she shoved him away!
"HA! THAT WAS LUCK. YOU'RE PATHETIC COMPARED TO ME!!!" Karen got up and yelled.
"THEN PROVE IT, DARK MISTRESS!!" Young PB yelled back.
"...here we go!" Young Quickie sighed and smiled.
"So why didn't they stay together if they loved one another?" Sakura asked Quickie.
"Because they both had dreams they wanted to fulfill. Sometimes your dreams and what you want out of life can get in the way. Karen wanted to be an Elite 4 member. PB wanted to be an Electric Pokemon master and eventually open up that gym. They loved each other not to get in the way of their dreams, as they knew they would if they remained together. Once they've done what they've wanted to do, perhaps they'll be together. Maybe not. Who knows what could happen." Quickie said while looking at Mewtwo and smiling.
"Well now I understand why Lt. PB rushed out of the restaurant." Sakura stated.
"Of course. PB never misses a chance to have a Pokemon battle with Karen. Hahaha" Quickie laughed.
"Wait, they're battling right now?" Sakura said puzzled.
"Oh yeah. That's always the pattern with those two. First comes the Pokemon battle, then the mushy stuff!" Quickie said while pointing out her window. "They're probably on the hotel roof right now duking it out!"
