Andy turned the corner and ran into the entrance to the underground. Four sets of feet pounded on the ground after him. Andy slid down the stair railing and charged down the alley.  

"Stop right now you surprisingly fit kid!" One of the men demanded.

"How about no! And I have practice from running away from trainers!" Andy jumped onto the wall and continued running on it just to show off. No, he actually just kept running until he reached the other side and flew up the stairs. He flung the door open and rounded the corner. Two of the men stood in his path, smirking.

Each man was dressed differently. The first one he had seen was wearing all black and had a giant red R in the center of his shirt. The second one seemed to have a new pirate look going on, with a P on their shirt.

"Oh, fudge!" Andy was going to turn around but the other two men were on his other side. He was surrounded. The third guy was wearing all red and some strange hood with a black M on their shirt. The final man looked like a classic pirate, with a blue theme. There was an A on his bandana.

"Alright so I know I said some stuff but I totally didn't mean it," Andy said, trying to keep a confident demeanor and he was totally succeeding.

"Too late bud. Now we're going to teach you what happens when you mess with the Gramps."

Andy said nothing for a second. "Wait wait wait. Are you people, like, angry old men or something? Man, you're out really late. Normally you old people are in bed at six. AM."

"What are you talking about kid? We're not old!"

"Then why are you guys called 'Gramps?'"

"He's never heard of us?" Another one spoke up.

"Uncultured swine!" A third shouted.

"M! P! Quiet!" The first one ordered.

"M? P? Oh, I get it!" Andy was flipping through the book. "You guys are made up of... oh hey here's the exposition. You're the members of all the failed evil teams together, minus Team Flare, and together you spell Gramps! Your rank on the team is dependent on which team you come from and its placement in the word Gramps. Galactic being the highest and Skull being the lowest."

"How did he figure out our secrets!" The fourth one cried.

"I used the book. Oh hey, it's being erased now. Guess I ruined the entire point of that chapter!" Andy laughed. Showing off his amazing skills he flew to the moon. And obliterated them with moon lazers! I think we all know what I have to say about this.

"This man is a witch! Burn him!" P screamed.

"P you are so dramatic." R sighed.

"But really it's concerning that he knows all our secrets," M said.

"Yes! We must destroy him and this book of his!" A concluded.

"David let's do this!" Andy sent out David. "Alright, David bring the power, use hyper beam!"

"What!?"

"Repent! Repent! Arceus forgive thee!"

"No way!"

"That's not happening!"

"And Author, relax. I got the TM from my pops." I knew that! David charged a yellow beam in his mouth and blasted it at R and P, knocking them into a wall.

"R!" M and A cried, dashing past Andy to help R.

"Great job David. Knew you could pull that one off." Andy pat David on the head and returned him. Then Andy ran off.

Alex found Lynn sitting against a wall, her face buried in her hands.

"Lilly?" Alex asked, walking up to her.

"I told you, it's Lynn." Lynn sniffed, glancing up at him. Her eyes were red from crying.

"No, it's not. Your name is Lilly, silly." Alex sat down next to her.

"Not anymore Alex. I'm Lynn now."

"Well, I'm still gonna call you Lilly," Alex said.

"Whatever." Lynn sighed.

"Lilly, why did you hit Andy?"

"He was making me angry and so I hit him. The way he was treating us. He deserved it." Lynn clenched her fists.

"So can I hit him now?"

Lynn shook her head. "No. You shouldn't hit people. Not unless they really deserve it. So not if they cut the line or step on your foot. You have to judge the situation. Ya know?"

Alex stared at her blankly. "No."

Lynn chuckled. "Just don't hit anyone. You'll figure it out when you're older and can better understand things. Alright?"

"Ok, Lilly! But..." Alex hesitated. "Are we never gonna see Andy again?"

"We might see him again, but I'm not letting him push me around anymore. We're fine without him." Lynn smiled faintly.

"Yeah! Now can we go to sleep? I'm really tired." Alex yawned.

Lynn stood up and helped Alex up. "Sure little buddy. I just wish we could afford an actual room. Let's go." They walked towards the outskirts of the city and Lynn took out their sleeping bags, she kissed Alex's forehead said goodnight, and then went to bed herself.

Andy stopped in the middle of the street. "Hold on. I have absolutely no idea where Lynn and Alex are. Well, they probably don't want to see me after the whole ordeal with Lynn punching me. Just in case you people decided to not read the last chapter. Because I swear these chapter reads are so confusing. One chapter had 2 reads and the next has 7. No comments either. Do you people skip chapters?"

Andy tapped his chin. "So where do I sleep? I can't stay outside or else those old people will get me. Guess I'm sleeping in the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy always says she hopes to see me soon." Andy walked into the Pokémon Center.

"Hello. Welcome to the Pokémon Center. How may I help you?" Nurse Joy asked.

"Uhh, can you heal David?" Andy asked, putting David's Pokeball on the counter.

"Sure." She nodded, taking David's Pokeball and putting it on a machine, the machine glowed for a second and then made a ding noise. Nurse Joy removed the Pokeball and handed it back to Andy. "Thank you. Have a nice day."

Andy walked over to a couch, laid down on the couch, and fell asleep.

Andy was awoken by Nurse Joy snapping her fingers in front of his face. As far as he could tell it was still nighttime.

"Whaaaat?" Andy groaned, eyes still shut.

"Sir you're not allowed to sleep in the Pokémon Center. If you would like to sleep then go to a hotel."

"Oh come on! That guy over there has probably been in here his whole life! Did Game Freak even program in a walking pattern for him? No!" Andy pointed at a Hiker standing in the corner of the room, staring at a wall.

Nurse Joy scowled. "I'll have you know that he is a very welcomed employee at this establishment!"

"English please?" Andy requested, still not even bothering to open his eyes.

"He works here."

"What the heck does he do?!" Andy demanded.

"He inspects the wall and makes sure there are no problems."

"Twenty-four seven?" Andy raised an eyebrow.

"Yes! He's a wall inspector!"

"That's seriously a job in this world?"

"Yes! It requires a master's degree!"

"Ok, are you just Touros crapping me because I'm tired and you think you can fool me?" Andy yawned.

"Fine yes but you have to leave now." Nurse Joy pointed to the door.

"Fine whatever. But I'm probably going to get jumped by that gang again. If I die I'm totally haunting this place! Then who you gonna call?!" Andy stormed out the door.

"But he does prove a good point. How long have you been in here?" Nurse Joy asked the man.

"It's been 5,000 years." The man replied. With that Nurse Joy just went back to the counter and fell asleep.

As Andy walked through the empty city his stomach growled and he fished an apple from his pocket, taking a bite out of it. +1 sin. Of course, he has to eat an apple, it's the only way to show how much of a ***hole he is. Wait why did I call myself that! DANGIT!

"Ugh. The more I walk around the more exhausted I get! What is this, logic? People never get tired or hungry in this world!" Andy complained. Suddenly Andy wasn't tired or hungry and perfectly fine! No, he wasn't. Yes, he was! No, he wasn't! I can literally do this forever! Fine, he wasn't hungry. Alright whatever, I'm tired of this anyways.

Andy sighed and slumped against the wall of the Department Store. "Man I should probably make up with Lynn. Sure none of this is real but that doesn't mean I like feeling tired and hungry. Plus I'm literally talking to myself." Andy yawned and closed his eyes, falling asleep.

The next morning when Andy finally woke up the sun was already high in the sky. "Man, what time is it?" Andy had a watch suddenly. "Eleven! Sick I totally beat my record! Oh, right I gotta talk to Lynn and..." Andy gagged. "Apologize." Andy stood up and stretched.

Lynn and Alex walked out of the Department Store carrying a few bags of food. "Alright, this should be enough for until we get to Ecruteak City."

They turned the corner and saw Andy standing against the wall of the building, stretching. He glanced at them and stopped. "Yo."

"What are you doing here?" Lynn asked.

"Well seeing as though I didn't have a sleeping bag I slept against the wall. Surprised I wasn't mugged by those guys. Now that I think about it where did they go? Dang did David kill them!? Awesome!"

"Explain," Lynn ordered.

"So what happened was after you guys left some big dude came up to me. Then he got really mad for no reason and he and his friends chased me around the city. Then they said they were an evil team called Gramps made up of every old evil team except for Team Flare.

"Then David blasted them away with hyper beam! It was so cool! We totally hero'd our way out of it! Which means we're officially protected by plot armor! I'm invincible!"

"You fought Gramps?! THE Gramps!"

"Yes, that's what I said? Do you have hearing problems?"

"Gramps? He beat up an old guy?" Alex tilted his head.

"No, it's a group of bad people. Well, good job Andy. But now they'll probably hunt you down."

"Eh, I'm not worried. I am the main character after all. Oh right! Hey Lynn, sorry about you know, blackmailing you. Look I'll fight battles and make money myself. Just don't ditch me. Because I took 5000 Pokedollars from your wallet when you weren't looking and if I don't pay you back soon the author will enact his wrath upon me."

"You did what! Alright you know what, this is the first time I've ever heard you even try to apologize so, it's a start. Now let's go. We're off to Ecruteak! There I can hopefully find a good job." Lynn said.

"Yay Ecruteeth!" Alex cheered as they walked out of the city.

"It's Ecruteak." Andy corrected.

"Oh ok."

"I'm having the last word!" No I am.
