"So what are the terms of your match?" Ash sat back, hungry, but Akane had wanted training anyway. Kasumi took pity on her Master and handed him a riceball.
"Terms?" Shampoo snarled. "Terms is first one who can't move loses! Is good?"
Nabiki grinned like, well- like a Cheshire, and held up a hand. "Wait a minute, Akane's time is valuable now. And as a bonded PokeWoman, the terms of the match should be set before my client undergoes battle..."
Ash sat back and had three more riceballs, a cup of tea, and a peanut butter and honey sandwich while Nabiki negotiated.
"...waitaminute, Shampoo confused. What is 'capitulatory rights inherent to PokeTrainer Statute 42e'? And what is 'arbitration veto withheld' got to do with PokeBattle with Akane?"
"Well," said Nabiki thoughtfully. "If you don't really want to fight Akane, Nabiki... I... am sure that nobody will think any of less of you for acknowledging Akane as the better fighter."
Shampoo growled, literally. "That's it. Shampoo agree to silly terms. Then, after Shampoo flatten Akane, Shampoo make stupid Nabiki eat hot sand!"
Ash looked over the bottle of multivitamins Kasumi was handing him and wondered what all she had in that purse anyway? "What did Akane do to get you that riled up, anyway?"
"Shampoo not involved in half-sister's fight! But Akane kick over awning and trap Shampoo with stupid Tamer named Mousse for fifteen minutes. RRrrrrrrrrrr."
"Okay, you two. Begin!" Nabiki signalled the grudge match to commence.
