“Welcome to the Pokémon League! I am Lorelei of the Elite Four!”
Lorelei adjusted her glasses and stared her challenger down. He looked to be about 17 years old, wearing a red cap and a smirk on his face. Another hotshot in deep over his head; he would probably never return after his defeat today. She continued her introduction, which she had perfectly scripted after three and a half years as the opener of the Elite Four.
“No one can best me when it comes to icy pokémon! Freezing moves are powerful! Your pokémon will be at my mercy when they are frozen solid!”
“Hey, I'm Red!” His cheerful tone took her aback. Most of the trainers got nervous after she finished introducing herself. “It's nothing personal, Lorelei, but getting through this match is my destiny. I've fought long and hard to make it to the Pokémon League, and I'll be taking away my title today.”
What a confident guy, Lorelei thought. She hated it when trainers acted as if they could walk all over her like a doormat. “I'm glad you're eager, kid, but don't take me lightly just because I'm first.” She grabbed her first pokéball and held it at the ready.
“Kid?” He seemed to resent it. Lorelei hadn't meant anything by it—after all, the current champion happened to be Red's age too. Blue possessed a rare talent, though; their match had been very close. “Well, this kid is ready to take you down!”
Red took a good look at his opponent, sizing her up. She wore a purple skirt with long slits on the sides that showed off some of her hips. This theme continued with her dark blouse, which showed a fair bit of cleavage considering the winter theme of the room. Lorelei did not seem cold, and looked quite stern behind her fashionable glasses. Judging by her demeanor, Red knew he faced a rough match against the woman. He did not have much experience battling Ice type pokémon either.
Lorelei waited for the kid to stop eying her chest, then cleared her throat loudly. “Enough staring.” His cheeks flushed a little. “Begin the match!” She summoned her first pokémon. “Dewgong, go!”
Red sent out his first pokémon, Golduck. They had met shortly after he learned the Surfing technique from his sixth gym match, and grown as a team since. Unfortunately, Red had not expected Lorelei to lead with a Water type.
The two monsters dove in to the cold water surrounding the arena, prepared to battle. “Golduck, use Psychic techniques!” Red commanded. Lorelei smirked, knowing that the odds of Red's monsters proving strong enough to easily defeat her at this stage were quite low. She didn't even need to command Dewgong; it began drumming its belly and reached a state of fury as the Golduck's Psychic attack just scratched it a bit.
“You've already lost, kid,” she taunted. “Dewgong, use Rest!” The pokémon fell asleep and recovered from Golduck's attack.
“Shoot!” Red considered his options. After the Belly Drum, he'd have no choice but to beat the Dewgong as quickly as possible. He recalled Golduck and sent out his next monster. “Magneton! You can do this!” Red figured that Magneton's steel body would protect it from a hit, and commanded it to use Thunder.
“You're not paying enough attention, boy,” Lorelei said. Before Red could react, he noticed his miscalculation. Dewgong had woken up immediately; it smacked its lips, the taste of a Chesto Berry still lingering. “Dewgong, use Aqua Jet!” Faster than a bullet, the aquatic pokémon slammed in to Magneton, instantly knocking it out.
“Magneton!” Red cried. Now his options looked dim. Dewgong's Aqua Jet was such a quick move that he had very few options to counter with, and he had lost his only Electric type pokémon. Cringing, he summoned his only real option. “Kangaskhan, it's up to you!”
Kangaskhan, proud to have joined the fray, stared down the tough Dewgong. Lorelei could see what Red had planned, but knew right away that it wouldn't be enough. “Continue, Dewgong,” she commanded.
Before Dewgoing could rush to attack, Red interjected. “Kangaskhan, use Sucker Punch!” Dewgong flew straight toward the kangaroo and got slammed with a punch to the face. It hit pretty hard too, causing Lorelei to grip her thumb in anticipation. A strong enough hit might KO Dewgong. Unfortunately for Red, though, Dewgong survived and knocked its opponent out with an Aqua Jet immediately.
“No...” Red dropped to his knees, slamming his fist on the ground. “I can't lose here. Not to...” Lorelei eyed him furiously, waiting for him to finish his sentence. “... the first one.”
That did it. “Stand up, boy!” she barked at him. “I may be the first of the Elite Four, but that doesn't mean I'm the weakest. You need to grow up and learn from your mistakes!”
He flashed an angry scowl at Lorelei. “You stuck-up bitch!”
“What did you say to me?” She couldn't believe this kid's nerve. Red withdrew his pokémon and turned to walk away. “Come back and finish this match!” she yelled. Lorelei wouldn't have it. She could take losing. She could take the humiliation of defeat, but not this disrespect from a trainer ten years younger than her.
Red stopped and turned to face Lorelei. “I'm going to train, and when I come back, you'll just be a step on my path to the champion's seat.” She glared at the trainer emptily, and then he departed.
As the door sealed her alone in the room with Dewgong, who looked at her with a concerned expression, Lorelei sank to the floor. She buried her face between her arms and felt a hot tear fall from her face.
