It’s never an easy transition when the Elite Four shifts, especially when a new member is added.
Lance’s
eyes raked over Sapphire’s form coldly as he nodded curtly to her. She had come
in as a replacement for Bruno, who had unfortunately gotten caught in an
avalanche while training in
Finally, the Champion spoke. “So, Sapphire, what is your designated pokemon type?”
“Er…” Sapphire said, “I’m not quite sure I have one.”
There was dead silence.
“I mean; I have a Raichu and a Machamp and a Ninetales and a Poliwrath!” She said defensively. “And Pidgeot and Girafarig!”
“…” Red glanced at the Dragon Master, who simply raised an eyebrow.
“All right then.” The Champion said. “Let’s settle this.”
“Huh?”
“We will settle the argument with a battle. If you win, you become Champion; I’ll pick a type and become the new Elite Four member. It’s quite simple. If you lose, then we’ll reject your application.”
Stars flared in Sapphire’s eyes at the curt dismissal. “You’re on!”
She would show that kid that she was boss!
They started at opposite sides of the field, six on six, but as she watched her Machamp faint after a Psychic attack from Espeon and Red’s Charizard destroy her Girafarig and Pidgeot, she started feeling leery. When she sent out Raichu, he swapped for an amazingly speedy Blastoise, and finally, her Poliwrath collapsed before the might of his Snorlax.
Red half-smiled, and then escorted her out, ignoring her screams and cries as she realized that her dream had just shattered.
She was no one to concern himself with.
“So we are left with a triad?” Will asked.
Lance shrugged. “I never cared for Bruno.”
“Of course, Leader,” Karen laughed. “We know.”
The rest of the words went unspoken.
“I didn’t like her.”
Lance turned to Red. “I did not expect you to.”
“She isn’t a Master… and she’s not a Guardian. There is nothing for me to like. She wasn’t even innocent or pure.”
“Pity.”
“No, I don’t think so.” Red said. “I might have liked her and left you, and that would have been bad, ne?”
The Dragon Master chuckled as Red hugged him, before rising on his tiptoes for a kiss. “Red, we broke her dream. And yes, it would have been bad.”
“Dreams like hers aren’t dangerous. Ours are.” Red mused. “So we lost nothing.”
And that was that.

Original Characters can be used to further a story, true, but often they mutate into Mary-Sues. Grr.
I have no idea why I keep writing these things; only maybe it’s to parody the extreme amount of fics that start with an OMG NEW CHAMPION beating Lance… I swear, there are billions of those things that pop up every time you Google for Lance…
