The group wandered through Blackthorn City. The city was small and was surrounded by mountains, the only entrance other than the way they came was the Ice Path. To the north of the city were a lake, the gym, and a cave on the other side of the lake.

"Alright team. We're finally here. Next stop, Claire's gym!" Andy said, turning towards the gym.

"Hold it! Why are you going there?" Lynn asked.

"Why not?" Andy responded.

"Because just a few minutes ago you were complaining about how hungry you were."

"Well, I'm not anymore!"

"Whatever. Come on Alex, let's get something to eat."

"Alright! If I eat vegetables can I have dessert?"

"We'll see."

"That means no doesn't it?" Alex sighed as they walked off.

"Sucks to be him. I get dessert whenever I want." Andy grinned smugly. He ate a cookie that he totally had with him. Subtly is not your forte. Bringing out the big words, are we? Well, I blast you with lazers! It's spelled with an S!

Andy walked into the gym only to regret it because of the extreme heat. The battlefield was filled with spikes, pits, and random pools of lava. Surrounding the gym was more molten hot lava. Andy had no idea how people didn't die from the heat.

In the center of the battlefield, a Kingdra and a Slaking were battling it out. Kingdra was a seahorse-like Pokémon that stood up on its tail. The Pokémon's body was blue but its chest was yellow. Slaking was a giant ape-like Pokémon who towered over the Kingdra. Its fur was brown while its chest was a shade of tan.

"It's over Claire! Just give up!" A male voice told the gym leader. The boy was about six foot four and was blonde with sparkling blue eyes. He had a perfect smile and a perfect face. All of his features were chiseled to perfection. OK, we get it he's perfect! Wait don't tell me this is him!

"Never!" Claire shouted back. Claire had long flowing blue hair, blue eyes, and a confident grin. She wore blue gloves and boots with black rings around them, a cape that was black on the outside and red on the inside, and some strange one-piece that looked like a dragon's body. What's with this girl and blue? Well not that there's anything wrong with that!

"Fine then! Slaking use giga impact!" The boy snapped his fingers and his Pokémon charged forward, barreling into Kingdra and knocking it out. Claire sighed and returned it.

"Darn it! Stupid Lance making me give the badge to trainers!" Claire sighed and fished a badge from her pocket, she tossed it at the boy and stormed off.

"Great job Slaking. Let's go tell Mary the good news." He returned his Pokémon and turned to leave.

"Who the heck are you?" Andy asked.

"I'm Gary. Gary Stu."

"Oh God no! The entire chapter is going to be based on one unfunny joke? What is this, an episode of Teen Titans Go!" Andy groaned.

Gary tilted his head. "Ooookay then. I'm just going to go." Gary walked out of the gym.

"Dangit! Now Claire isn't here! That Gary jerk will pay for being a half decent trainer!" Andy charged after Gary.

Gary was standing outside the gym talking to a girl. She looked similar to him, she was about five foot six. She had the same blonde hair, blue eyes, perfect everything yadda yadda yadda!

"She was super easy to defeat thanks to Slaking's help." Gary bragged.

"I beat her way before you with nothing but my Magikarp with bounce," Mary responded.

"Whatever! I beat 100 trainers with just a Pichu!"

"Ugh! I hate Gary Stus and Mary Sues!" Andy complained.

The twins turned to him. "How does he know my middle name?" Mary asked.

"Why are you listening to our conversation?" Gary inquired.

"In the games, you never get flack for it," Andy muttered. "And I was just gauging how much Author is going to milk this joke. Seems like the whole chapter at least."

"There he goes again with that strange talking," Gary stated.

"I think he's a nut job," Mary concluded.

Lynn and Alex walked over to join the group. "Hey, Andy who are you talking t-" Lynn gasped. "Oh my Arceus! It's Gary and Mary Stu!"

"You know these dweebs?" Andy asked.

Lynn glared at him. "These dweebs are the greatest trainers ever! Plus they're perfect at everything, they've never lost a battle, EVER!"

"What if they battled each other?"

"Everyone's saying it'll happen when they take on the Pokémon League."

"Why are they talking about us like we're not here?" Gary asked Mary.

"Don't worry about it. They normally forget people are there when they argue." Alex piped up, the twins jumped.

"Where did you come from?"

"The stork."

"That's not what I meant."

"Come on! They're so bland I doubt the readers can even tell which one said those two lines! They're just one big joke that's running way too long!" Andy argued.

"You are completely nuts! Stop talking bad about Gary! Oh and Mary too."

"Fine let's settle this. One of you two morons fight me." Andy pointed at the Stus.

"I could use some warming up for the Pokémon league," Mary said, stepping forward. She took a Lure Ball from her belt and tossed it into the air. In a flash of light, a Magikarp appeared. The fish Pokémon had red scales and two yellow whiskers. It flopped on the ground helplessly.

"Really? You didn't evolve it? Magikarp's Revenge isn't a legal move!" Andy told her as he sent out David. "Activating 90s music video animation!" Andy snapped his fingers and everything looked like a David Hasselhoff music video.

Random voices from nowhere began shouting. "Ooga Chaka hooga hooga ooga chacka hooga hooga!"

"I can't stop this feeling, deep inside of me. Girl, you just don't realize, whatcha do to me!

When I hear your name, it just doesn't feel right! You're so bland, I mean come on. Never lost a fight?

And IIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm hooked on a feeling! (hooked on a feeling!) I'm high on pure hatred! (High on pure hatred!)Man, I really hate youuuuuu!" Why did I agree to this? I'm asking the same thing.

A static image of David flew into the air, spun around, and hit a static image of Magikarp. The Magikarp image flew off the screen with a punching sound effect. The Magikarp began spinning rapidly and flew into David, causing him to fly away with another sound effect.

"Smile as bright as the sun! It burns my eyes! Girl, you're wearing a wig, I mean clearly, that's no surprise!

Got an ulcer just from seeing you! And your eye's the devil for sure! Someone call an exorcist! Actually, don't, those movies suck!

For the love of Arceus! Who wrote her? It's no fun to read! Seriously!

IIIIIIIIIIIIII'm hooked on a feeling (Hooked on a feeling!) And I'm high on pure hatred! (High on pure hatred!) Man, I really hate youuuuuu! And I'm hooked on a feeling! (Hooked on a feeling!) And I'm high on pure hatred! (High on pure hatred!) Man, I really hate youuuuuuu!" Are we really doing the whole song? Half of these don't even rhyme! Well, we're entering the part where he just says the same stuff over and over again. Fine!

Suddenly a rock flew down and crush Magikarp along with an explosion. Magikarp threw the rock off of it and its image rammed into David who then spun which sent Magikarp away. The two continually rammed each other, then Magikarp shot a random la(z)er from its mouth and David did the same thing. The effect looked really bad and clearly fake. The la(z)ers collided and just stayed there for a while.

"Ooga chacka hooga hooga ooga chacka hooga hooga!"

"I can't stop this feeling, deep inside of me! Girl you just don't realize. Watcha do to me!

For the love of Arceus! Who wrote her? It's no fun to read! Seriously!

IIIIIIIIIIIII'm hooked on a feeling! (Hooked on a feeling!) And I'm high on pure hatred! (High on pure hatred!) Man, I really hate youuuuuuuuu! I'm hooked on a feeling! (Hooked on a feeling!) And I'm high on pure hatred! (High on pure hatred!) Man, I really youuuuuu!" Ok, I'm done! Stop making me do these musical numbers just for comedic purposes! Eh, no promises. I hate you Author.

The la(z)ers exploded and the battle ended, everything returned to normal and Magikarp had fainted while David was still standing! "Yes! You stood no chance in effects so bad that even perfect characters couldn't win because there was no budget for Magikarp's bounce!"

"I lost? And not only that but I think I hallucinated! I must be going crazy! " Mary cried.

"I saw it too! We need to get away from them! It's making us crazy!" The twins then ran off screaming.

Andy grinned. "Yeah! Take that! Andy always wins!"

Lynn sighed. "I hate people."

"That was fun," Alex concluded.

-------------------

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed that chapter! It took FOREVER to write that parody so I really hope it was good. Sorry, it takes forever for me to update. Hopefully, I'll be able to change that soon enough. In other news, Splatoon 2 came out which is why I've barely been around recently. It's super addictive. Alright well, that's all for now, BYE!

(If you're interested in the song Andy was parodying here it is)
