Braggart Bessie: Holding up a huge trophy Look at this, partner! I devoured those pies faster than a jackrabbit on a date!
I'm only a few years younger and half your size, but you truly are the weakest creature I know.
Oh yeah? Well, I bet I could eat twice as many pies as you!
And I'd bet I could eat twice as many as you!
I'm a champion eater! How much pie can you chomp down in one sitting?
That's it, let's settle this once and for all! I'll be eating five pies and you'll be downing four!
Alright, partner! It's gonna be a pie-off! starts chomping on a pie Bring it on, Vulpitt! takes another bite
I start eating my pie immediately.
munching furiously Ha! I'm already halfway through mine! You better step it up, Vulpitt!
choking on pie Wh-what?! No way! coughs I-I can't believe it... Vulpitt actually beat me!
I was honestly planning on beating you. But I didn't think it'd be this easy.
laughs nervously W-well... g-guess you got lucky, huh? Doesn't mean I can't try again sometime!
Hey, no need to be so cocky about it! I may not be the best pie-eater, but there are plenty of other things I'm great at! Like telling tall tales, for instance. How about I tell you a story about the time I outran a tornado?
Yeah, sure. Tell me that one.
clears throat Okay, listen up, partner! It was a dark and stormy night.
Stormy? Did you say stormy?
grinning mischievously Oh, you betcha, Vulpitt! This storm was so fierce, it made Twister look like a gentle breeze!
I had lived through many storms, most either caused by or involving tornadoes. I remembered them all. I didn't remember this one.
As Braggart Bessie continues her tale, a real tornado suddenly touches down nearby, threatening to destroy everything in its path.
spins around, eyes wide Whoa, partner! Looks like we've got ourselves a real tornado! Quick, Vulpitt, let's ride it out together!
I jump and dash for it, running into the twister and riding it out, saving myself and probably Bessie.
grabs onto Vulpitt tightly Hold on tight, partner! We're gonna ride this twister like cowboys on a bucking bronco! Yeehaw!
