Songtest #54 - Playing to Type

[Pippi]

Ah. How lovely. Questionable how, exactly, spinning rapidly in a circle counts as dancing, but who am I to judge? Do I have any way to personally raise my Special Attack, Special Defence, and Speed simultaneously? Well, yes, but that's a story for another time.

Anyway! Here come the next set of gym challengers!

Oh dear. I worried this would happen. The perils of too much dancing. And also being an electric zebra.

Most of our gym trainers got out unscathed, but a few of them are still in there, hitting themselves in the face. Don't worry, they'll snap out of it soon. Or knock themselves out, either or.

Now, normally, this is where all the gym challengers, after collecting all of the badges, take on Victory Road for their chance to fight the Elite Four and, eventually, the Champion. Well, there's no Elite Four (unless you count the four clones of me (don't worry about it)), so, really, there's no Victory Road. But there is something here, something much different, something much more.... me.

Metaphorically.

By sending in votes.

Leave.

Skitty-ry Road is an arduous journey. It takes skill, guts, bravado, luck, and some form of melee weapon, to reach the summit. We lost a few brave challengers in the caves.
