Chase Petey.

That bastard. You can’t let him get away with this. You throw away the scraps of paper that Petey had paid you with. You run down the alley chasing after the man who cheated you. You reach the street in front of the shop. Taking a quick glance to the left, you don’t see the old drunk. You turn on your heels to run down the street. *BAM* You run head first into someone falling backwards onto your butt. You look up from the ground at the man standing over you. 3 others step up to surround you.

“See Arthur, I told you they were talking about piercings,” the man to your left says.

The man you ran into crosses his arms looking at his friend, “Suppose you were right.” He turns his gaze down towards you. You pull yourself to your feet, standing between the 4 guys. “Me and the boys couldn’t help but notice you at the game tonight talking to the Oak boy. We thought that a trainer like yourself would appreciate some training.”

“Um, I’m actually trying to chase a man who cheated me. Maybe you saw him? An old dirty drunk?” you adamantly say taking a step away from Arthur. You bump into the chubby guy behind you, who places his hands on your shoulders stopping you.

“Nonsense. I’m sure this drunk is long gone by now. So let’s focus on the present opportunity,” he smiles taking a step towards you. He presses you between himself and his chubby friend. “Now that we’ve decided that it’s time to battle. Would you prefer to practice your single or double battling skills?”

You gulp looking up at Arthur. You can still feel the belly pressed into your back and the hands on your shoulder. Double battles would save you time, only having to do 2 battles rather than 4. But you do have more experience with single battles. A moment of fear strikes you, can you really beat 4 trainers in a row?
