B. Step up and use Trainer!

This looks like a tough obstacle, and what better to challenge the most dangerous pokemon that you've ever seen inside a high pressure environment in front of a hostile crowd than a highly emotional teenage girl?

You roll forward onto the arena at the same time the teen challenger slinks off in tears. Then you throw your pokeball, making Trainer appear in front of you.

Blaine: "Wait is that a Bucket?... Is that a Magikarp?....Is someone challenging the Great Gym Leader Blaine with a damn Magikarp? IS THAT A GIRL!? DID SHE JUST COME OUT OF A POKEBALL!? What is this? Ugh I should have taken my medication this morning."

Trainer: "Bwyaaah... Where am I now? What's happening!? Why was I drowning!? Who are all you people? Where are my family!?"

Officer Jenny: "Ohhhh ! You must be that Magikarp's trainer! How did you manage to get stuck inside its ball? Wait... I did the same thing at the Pokecenter, the balls must be defective. That explains everything. No wonder the poor tiny thing seemed so hopeless, lost and useless."

You: "Magikarp Magikarp Magikarp!"(Whose side are you on anyway?)

Blaine: *sigh* "Let's get this over with little lady, step out of the arena and I'll happily turn that ugly Magikarp of yours into bad sushi."

Trainer: "The Magikarp!?... Oh THAT Magikarp. Oh I am going to make him p-....P-p-p-pony!"

Trainer's eyes seem to turn into love hearts as she notices the Ponyta for the first time and leers at it.

Trainer: "Oh it's adorable! It's perfect! I want one!"

Blaine: "But what about your Magikarp?"

Tentacool: "Tentacool Tentacool!" (Yeah kick its butt!)

Trainer : "Hey if I wanna ride the pony, I am going to ride the pony! Where in the rules does it say a human can't compete in a pokemon battle anyway!?"

Officer Jenny: "Rule #1 I believe."

Trainer: "Whose side are you on anyway!?"

Before anyone could react, Trainer leaps onto Ponyta's back, spontaneously expertly avoiding the flames as if she's been doing this for years. The crowd is stunned, they're not sure if this is real or a show.

Trainer: "Giddyup! Wheeee! I'm a princesses! Wheeeeeee! You're my noble steed! WHEEEEE!"

Ponyta is distraught and confused. He doesn't know what what do, he runs in circles, jumps, rears, neighs, spreads fire in all directions and tries to aggressively shake Trainer off but the more he exerts himself the more fun Trainer seem to have as she cheers louder and louder.

Eventually Ponyta tumbles under his own hooves and falls over, hurting himself in his confusion. Trainer lands on her feet like a cat and starts stroking his back.

Trainer "I'm gonna hug him and pet him and kiss him and feed him and groom him and ride him all day and call him Cupcakes and he'll be my bestest friend forever and ever and ever and ever. From this moment on we're going to be totally inseparable!"

Ponyta's expression sours, you see a look of fear and terror on his face that you've not seen since that time you walked in on your brother with a Dhelmise.

Without hesitation the Ponyta screeches in horror and jumps out of the arena before galloping through the crowd , away from Trainer and out of the gym faster than you ever thought could be possible. Not even looking back once. You've seen Abras teleport more slowly than that .

Ponyta has fled.

The crowd doesn't know how to react.

Blaine: "Daaoh! what have you done!? You scared him off! It's going to take forever before I get him back now!"

Trainer "Hey! It's your fault you grumpy old geezer! You clearly spooked him. Obviously Cupcakes loves me."

Officer Jenny: "You know, I think if Blaine doesn't produce another pokemon then that's a forfeit."

Blaine: "Whose side are you on anyway!?"

Trainer: "Well I'm sure anyone with a pokemon as cute and lovable as Cupcakes must really value beauty and elegance in all of their pokemon."

Blaine throws a pokeball and a fat Magmar emerges in a flash with a glazed expression on its face and its tongue lulling out.

Trainer "KILL IT WITH FIRE!"
Officer Jenny: "I don't think you can."

Blaine: "Magmar! Teach this bothersome brat a lesson!"

Jets of fire burst out of Magmar with a vicious tenacity. Trainer barely crouches beneath the flames at the last moment. It singes the top of her head and burns her hair. Trainer squeaks in irritation, marches up to the Magmar and starts poking it in the chest as her eyes twitch in anger.

Trainer : "Listen you Mighty Ducks reject! Do you have any idea how long it takes to get-"

Magmar lurches forward and pecks Trainer directly across the face with its beak while she was talking. Making Trainer grab her face and squeal

Trainer: "Owwww! You big stupid je-"

Magmar just pecks her again even harder, in the eye this time, making her flinch.

Trainer: "YEEEOWWWW!"

Blaine: "Now Magmar! Finish her off!"

The puzzled crowd is starting to pick up again and cheer for Blaine.
