#dudebirb

Greetings everyone... it's Vida again today with the journal... the beautiful... Beautifly... heehee.... Today Maqubi is going to challenge the Dewford Town Gym, how exciting isn't it? The gym was very dark, but I could see perfectly. How strange, a beautiful Beautifly like me shouldn't be able to see in the dark, unlike those ugly Dustox. Perhaps I'm just a SPECIAL type of Beautifly. Don't you think everyone? Aha... ahahaha.... 

All of the trainers here using fighting-type Pokemon, so I would be resistant to them. It's because I'm a bug-type and not a disgusting poison-type, because I'm beautiful! My dear Dudebirb was the perfect choice against all those barbarians,  just a flick of his wings, and they collapse. Every trainer that Maqubi defeats, the room gets brighter. Oh dear, my eyes are having a hard time adjusting to this light... if must be because we were in Granite Cave for so long, that must be it.... 

All these trainers have gotten very irritating with their barbaric Pokemon. Why fight with fists when you can be beautiful like me? True beauties use their minds... but I only know Confusion because i'm a SPECIAL type of Beautifly... ahahaha.... Still... the gym leader if very good at hiding himself. Where is he? I want him here right now! Where is this Brawly!? WEN BRAWLY!? Ahem Oh dear pardon me, a Pokemon as beautiful as myself should not get this excited over some barbarian chief. 

We finally found this Brawly person, he speaks like an excited teenager who spends all his day out in the sea. The salty water must have shriveled up his brain, and now all this barbarian can think about is fighting. Dudebirb please put this fool down. Yes you easily defeated his Machop and Meditite. Oh what's this? A Makuhita? This chubby fellow is no match for... Dudebirb? Dudebirb my dear if this is a joke, I don't find this amusing.... Dudebirb honestly wake up you're starting to scare me! Dudebirb? Dudebirb!? DUDEBIRB!!! No... this can't be... Dudebirb cannot be dead! After all he has done to help me evolve... into a... a.... 

Maqubi... please send me out.... Makuhita... I must thank you... for opening up my eyes.... I am not a Beautifly... I AM A DUSTOX THAT EVOLVED DUE TO DUDEBIRB! With my psychic powers, I will avenge my friend! ..... Dudebirb... thank you for helping me become who I am. I may not have liked it at first... but who cares if I'm beautiful? You still thought of me as your friend... goodbye... my dear.... 

Brawly said nothing as he stared at Dudebirb's body. He simply handed Maqubi the Knuckle Badge and TM08 Bulk Up. He and Maqubi exchanged numbers without a word exchanged between them. We all left the gym with heavy hearts. Skidds looked like he was about to break down into tears. I was very surprised, i though Skidds hated Dudebirb. When I questioned him he responded, "Well... he was a showoff... but that's what made me think of him as my rival. He was strong too, so I couldn't just fall behind. No I may not have called that guy my friend... but he was a good Pokemon.". Perhaps Skidds isn't the Pokemon I though he was. 

Maqubi placed Dudebirbs body into the ocean, but before that, she plucked a feather from him to put in her hat as a memorial. Gurds decided to come along with us. She didn't know Dudebirb at all, but she could tell we all felt sad. She insisted we call her DudeGurds for now, to temporarily replace Dudebirb. It's insensitive, but I know she means well. Afterwards, Maqubi met up with Mr. Briney. He could tell something was wrong and didn't inquire, instead we all made our way to Slateport City. Maqubi decided to get everyone's mind off of Dudebirb by having us battle against the trainers on the beach. It didn't really work, so Maqubi decided to get us all some Soda Pop instead. It didn't help either because Dudebirb could've been here to share it with us.
