Really!?

I mean, how long can it take for that Trainer to fudging get past those last two Gyms and Victory Road!?

I'm waiting for Black (again) on my golden throne. Ho hum. If this goes on any longer...

Okay, I'm sending the Shadow Triad to Icirrus City. All fudging three of them.

~5 minutes later...~

WHAT IS TAKING THEM SO LONG!?

Oops. I startled Zoroark.

"I know I can't say this in front of anyone else... but TAKE A CHILL PILL, OKAY!?" Wow, that was the first time I've ever heard Alicia yell.

"Sorry, Ali. I just get kinda stressed out when the whole future of Unova lies in my hands," I say sarcastically. "Try being a king sometime."

She looks at the ground sheepishly, like I did in Chargestone. I say, "All right, that was a bit much. I just got angry."

"All right. Something tells me you might have inherited those outbursts from your father, my lord... Anyway, Black should be here shortly. In the meantime, I can clean your room for you if you want." Wow.

I have to say something, but I just totally lose my cool around her. I wonder if she feels the same way? "First of all, just call me N. Second of all, Black probably won't be here for hours, so we might as well work on my room together. It'll be nice to spend time with you."

I swear, she blushed so bad you could easily mistake her head for a tomato and make it into ketchup. "OK... N. Let's go."

This better get done before Black arrives.
