( What follows here is the soon-to-be-famous OSCARPOST, that me and Kid worked on together for a couple of days. It's their entire battle in one, MASSIVE post, and you should only read this if you're either me, Kid, or Megaman, or if you're really interested in reading a wall of text XD If not, apologies for spamming! )

Daniel chuckled a little at Mark's half-joke, smiling cheerfully as he shrugged his shoulders. "Well, from seeing your Pokémon in action, I don't think there's much doubt about who would win. You're a pretty awesome trainer, you know!" he said, just before hearing someone call out behind them. He turned and saw Oscar running towards them.

"Oh, hey Oscar! Don't worry, I only just got here as well. I'm ready when you are."
As Oscar went towards his side of the field, Alexis let out a faint giggle at Len's compliment, her cheeks emitting a faint spark of electricity as she smiled back to him, ears giving a little twitch. "Awh, thank you Len. You look pretty good yourself!" She paused to lift a paw and wave at Flora, opening her mouth to continue talking to Len, until she realized that Oscar and Flora was heading for one side of the field and Daniel was about ready to head to another. She turned to Len and smiled apologeticly. "Sorry, I've gotta go, Daniel needs me. Cheer for me!"

Daniel gave Mark's shoulder a pat, smiling somewhat nervously, yet still in a rather excited manner. "Wish me luck! And remember to keep a close eye, I've got a trick or two up my sleeve." He added with a wry little smile before turning, half-running towards his end of the field, Alexis giving a quick wave to the others before scurrying along on all four, until they both reached their destination and turned to face Oscar in the other end of the field.

He smiled widely with excitement, adrenaline starting to pump as he stood across the battlefield from Oscar. The field wasn't all that big, but it was enough to invoke some kind of sense of greatness. He looked down to Alexis and gave her a firm nod. "Alright Alex', let's do this!"
"Chu!" Alexis responded, nodding back up at him before moving into the battlefield itself, readying herself on all four while staring over at Flora, smiling challengingly. She had always been a very soft-hearted Pokémon... but as soon as the heat of battle took over, her friendships became adversaries more than anything, and she wouldn't let anyone win, other than if they were simply better than her.

"Alex', let's start this off with a bang! Thunderbolt!" Daniel exclaimed.
"Rai!" Alexis' cheeks lit up with electricity, her tail shivering in the air behind her, arcs of electricity moving between the tip of it and her body before she suddenly let out a massive bolt of lightning, it coming crashing towards Flora with neck-breaking speed, Alexis' entire body enveloped in electricity, her fur on end.

Oscar gave off a big smile to his opponent as a friendly gesture. In reality, he was quite nervous as Daniel after all was a Suicune student, as evident by the blue dorm jacket. He would surely have some tricks up his sleeve. But Oscar would still give it his best shot, even if it sounded a bit cheesy. He looked down at his Pokéballs, trying to decide which Pokémon to use, before his gaze went over to Flora. ''Flora, you're up. Let's show them what we've got!''

The Oddish made a surprised face and glanced up at her trainer before walking out on the battlefield, a bit hesitantly. No denying it, she was scared. But if Oscar was confident in her, then she would do her best. She went over and took her place on the battlefield, a somewhat confident smile on her face. Both Oscar and Flora carefully observed their opponents as they waited for the first move.

And suddenly the match had started, with Alexis firing off a powerful Thunderbolt. The attack flew forward with great speed, giving the Oddish almost no time to react. She took the attack and the electricity cracked around her for a few moments before wearing off. Flora shook herself a few times to focus on the battle again and looked up at the Raichu before starting to run towards her.
''Alright Flora, Sweet Scent!'' Flora continued to close the distance between her and Alexis and when she got close enough, she spun around in circles, sending out waves of pink powder around her at a decent speed. Oscar watched as the powder made its way towards Alexis, hoping for a hit.

Sweet Scent? Daniel wasn't sure what that did, but he would soon find out, he supposed. Alexis kept her distance as Flora neared, her eyes narrowed somewhat, expecting the worst. A moment later, a pink dust was washing over her, the calming scent of flowery goodness entering her nostrils. She shivered for a moment before letting out an involountary sigh, seemingly relaxing a little more.

"Alexis, don't drop your guard! Get on in an get her with a Tail Whip!" Flora had moved closer to Alexis, just as Daniel had hoped she would. Alexis shook her head a little to clear it and moved in closer with a quick leap forward, the sharp lightning bolt at the end of her tail swiping down towards Flora, deliberately not hitting her, but only swiping near her, trying to taunt her to attack and drop her guard. "Come on, Flora, you aren't scared of attacking, are you~?" she commented smugly, though there was a playful tone to her voice, ensuring Flora would know this was not meant as an insult of any kind.

Oscar made a small smile as the Sweet Scent apparently did its job. But the smile quickly disappeared as Daniel used the opportunity of close combat to get off a Tail Whip. But at the same time, he was a bit confused by this course of action, as a Defence drop didn't help electric attacks. But none the less, he kept his attention on Alexis as she moved forward.

Flora took a few steps forward when Alexis suddenly ran towards her. She closed her eyes when said Raichu jumped up in the air, preparing for an attack, but opened her eyes after a few moments when nothing stuck her. But as soon as she looked up, Alexis's tail was inches from hitting her, causing the grass Pokémon to stagger back a bit, looking very surprised. She blinked a few moments before taking a stance and giving Alexis a small smirk. She was beginning to feel more confident. ''Well, if it's an attack you want...''

''Flora, time for some damage! Razor Leaf!'' ''...then ready yourself!'' Flora finished before shaking her leaves around, releasing a wave of small, razor-sharp leaves flying towards Alexis. At this close range it was bound to dish out some good damage.
Daniel smiled at the somewhat confused look on Oscar's face at his choice of move. It was always nice doing something unexpected, but having a plan all the while. It was great feeling the rush of battle again after so long without it. He was starting to get really excited, even as Flora was about to attack Alexis.

Alexis, still feeling rather woozey from the Sweet Scent, didn't manage to get out of the way of the leaves in time, wincing as they sliced past her, giving her a few nasty cuts, though nothing to speak of. She shook it off and let out a huff, smirking challenging. Looked like Flora was getting into the mood of it too, now.

"Alright Alex', let's try our luck with a... Double Team!" grinning widely, Daniel saw his plan slowly coming around, dearly hoping that Oscar didn't have any kind of move up his sleeve that would mess it up.
Alexis rose up on her hind legs, pushing her arms out to the sides to take on a fighting stance, tensing her body for a moment before seemingly splitting up into ten different Alexis... ees at once, sorrounding Flora in a half-circle, towering over the much smaller Pokémon, though without saying anything this time.

Oscar watched as the Razor Leaf dealt out some damage. He looked up at Daniel with a smile but that changed into a confused expression once again when he saw that Daniel also was smiling. That could not be good...he was planning something...but what? His thoughts were answered when Flora suddenly was surrounded by multiple copies of Alexis, all of them looking exactly the same. Oscar eyes shot open in realisation. Double Team...not good, not good at all.

Flora looked equally confused, if not more, and turned in every direction possible when the copies surrounded her. She quickly gathered her composure and turned around in a half-circle slowly so she could keep an eye on every one of the copies. One could clearly see that she was quickly becoming nervous.
''...Flora, try using Sleep Powder!'' Flora gained a small, confident smile at this, and made a small dance where she stood. While she was doing this, a light blue powder was realised from the leaves on her head, and the powder slowly flew towards all the electic Pokémon. Flora and Oscar both watched and hoped the powder would hit, or at least take out some of the copies.

Daniel clenched his fists in frustration. He had feared that Flora had had an attack like this stored up and raring to go. Now there was nothing left but to hope that it wouldn't hit Alexis before she could pull off the final stage in their plan.
Alexis stood completely still, with her look-alikes on either side of her, unflinching with the wry smirk on her lips, even as the blue powder was strown across a couple of the copies, but thankfully not Alexis, the powder going right through them and onto the ground.

Daniel couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh of relief, a wide grin on his face. Now was the last stage in his plan! At least, for now. "Alright, let's do this Alexis! Hit her with a Brick Break!"
"Chhhu!" "Alright! Look out Flora, here I come!" Alexis exclaimed as she suddenly lept out of the row of 'clones', lifting her right arm behind her, dashing in from the side before bringing the paw straight down towards the side of Flora's face in a devastating punch.

Oscar put on a disappointed face when the Sleep Powder simply missed the true Alexis and instead, went though some of the copies. This battle was quickly going downhill for him. The situation got worse when Daniel made his move; a devastating Brick Break attack. There was no chance that Flora would be able to dodge in time.

Flora frowned when her attack missed its target. Well, so much for that plan. She carefully observed the remaining Pokémon around her when suddenly Alexis called out. Flora only had a moment to blink before she was hit by the punch, making her go airborne for a few moments. After a slow flip in the air, she hit the ground hard.
''Nice one, Alexis.'' Flora commented while slowly standing up. The attacks were starting to wear her down and she was rather tired at this point. But she wasn't gonna go down just yet. ''Flora, respond with Acid!''

''But now it's my turn!'' She took a stance and stood still for a moment or two before firing a bunch of small, violet, nasty-looking balls of acid at the spot where Alexis and the 'clones' were standing, from her mouth. She didn't like to use the move too much but it still was a good move, and hopefully, this one wouldn't miss.
"Oh crap." Daniel mouthed at hearing the next command of Oscar's, the smugness of his, actually rather successful, plan succeeding, quickly fading again. "Alexis, try to dodge it! Jump back!"

"Let's see what you can do, then!" Alexis called out with a smile. She was greatly enjoying fighting one of her friends. It had always been alot of fun measuring up against people, but even more so against her friends, and Flora was no exception. It was a challenging battle, and Flora was rather tough, for an Oddish.
As the bubbles of purple flew towards her, Alexis tried to move backwards and away from them, but the effects of the Sweet Scent had her moving more sluggishly than before, and she wasn't able to get away in time. She winced in pain as they collided with her, popping and sending painful shivers up her spine. "Nngh...!"

Daniel looked at the battle with his heart in his throat. He might actually be winning, despite not having a type advantage. He went over the scene in front of him for a moment, determining that Flora couldn't stay standing for much longer. One powerful attack and it should be good. "Good job Alex', now let's see if she can handle your specialty! Thunderbolt!"
Alexis staggered for a moment, but shook her head, taking a deep breath, her fur slightly scruffy by now from the fighting, dodging and attacking. She hunched her back somewhat, the tail whipping up into the air above her as electric arcs began running up and down her body once again, eventually sending off a massive bolt of lightning towards the poor Oddish standing a few feet away. "Rrrraaaaaai!!"

As the Acid attack was succesful, Oscar's frown slowly turned into an excited smile. A small plan was starting to form in his mind. It was time for their comeback. But they would have to do it fast, as he noticed how Flora wasn't looking too great at the moment. But his hopes were shattered when he heard Daniel's next command. ''Flora, look out!''
Flora gained a confident smile when her attack proved to be successful. She was enjoying the battle quite a lot, even though she was normally frightened of battling. But still, this was really exciting! And Alexis was putting on a very good fight. But her thoughts were interrupted when she noticed Alexis beginning to charge up for another attack and the warning to look out from her trainer.

But Oscar's warning was to no avail. The massive bolt of lightning was heading with incredible speed towards the grass Pokémon and when it connected, she was enveloped by the powerful electricity with a painful cry. Even though she was resistant to electric attacks, this one packed quite a punch. When it wore off, she staggered around for a few moments before staring down at the ground, painting heavily. Oscar knew that she would go down any second now.

''Flora, quickly! Use Synthesis!'' Flora slowly raised her head and locked eye contact with Alexis, a small smirk starting to form on her face. The battle was not over quite yet. Closing her eyes, the leaves on her head started to glow white while her body glowed a bright yellow. But the glowing wore off almost instantly, and was replaced with small lightning bolts cracking around her, rendering her unable to move.

"Nicely done, Alex'! Be careful, she's not down just yet!" Daniel called out, smiling to himself, looking rather impressed. Flora was just an Oddish, but she was taking a beating from a fully evolved Pokémon! Oscar must be a really amazing trainer. Alex' was starting to breathe a little heavily, but it wasn't hard to see where the battle was tipping to.
Daniel widened his eyes a little as he heard Oscar's command, clenching his jaw. This could very well lengthen the fight for a lot longer, if- … if not for the fact that Flora was paralyzed. Daniel smiled a victorious smile, letting out a breath of relief. Flora was actually a rather dangerous opponent, now that he thought about it.

Alexis breathed heavily in an out after having shot the bolt of electricity at Flora, smirking in return. This was an amazing fight, and it was long since she had enjoyed herself so much. Flora was a great fighter, but Alex' wasn't ready to just lie down and let her win. She was going to show Flora, Oscar and even Daniel, exactly how strong she was.
"Alex', let's end this with a Brick Break while she's still paralyzed!"
"Rai!" she called out as a response, taking a moment to look at Flora slightly apologeticly, even if it only lasted for a second, before she got onto all four and dashed forwards, finally leaping up, pulling her right arm far back, and finally hammering her paw straight down towards the poor little Oddish.

''…'' Oscar had just started to get his hopes up when Synthesis was starting to take effect. But when he saw the electricity around Flora and that she stopped moving, his eyes went wide open with a blank look. It took a few moments for his brain to process what had just happened. Paralyzed...he couldn't believe it. Slowly blinking, Oscar realized that Flora would go down with the Brick Break Alexis was about to deal out.

The Oddish herself was still paralyzed and so, she had absolutely no chance of avoiding the attack at all. She could only watch as the Raichu closed the distance between the two Pokémon, before getting hit by the Brick Break, sending her crashing down to the ground. She laid down at the ground for a few seconds before getting picked up by her trainer carefully, who held her in his arms.

''You put up a great fight. I'm proud of you.'' Oscar said, smiling softly. Flora managed to respond with a weak smile before seemingly fainting. He promptly took out a regular Pokéball and returned the Oddish. Still holding the Pokéball in his hand, he looked down at Alexis and gave the Raichu a bright smile before looking up at Daniel. Even though he had lost, he couldn't do anything else but admit that it had been an awesome battle. Sure, he had lost, but he wasn't a sore loser.
''Hey Daniel, great battle! You and Alexis really are an amazing team.'' He complimented while jogging over to Daniel with an excited smile. ''Hopefully, it was good training for Flora. She seemed to enjoy it too. But I'll have to go heal her up at the Pokémon Center.'' He continued, glancing down at the Pokéball. ''Are you gonna heal up Alexis too?''

Daniel, having been temporarily lost in a rush of victory, his arms pumped up into the sky as he let out a relieved "Whoo!". A moment later, he realized that this might've been just a tad respectless and quickly lowered his arms, coughing, his cheeks darkening. He was afraid Oscar would be pissed at him for being such a bad winner.
Thankfully, as the boy came over to him, closely followed by Alexis, who was panting somewhat, a few cuts here and there due to the razor leaf attack earlier, Oscar was smiling. Daniel smiled in return and nodded eagerly. "Thanks! So are you and Flora... she really is an amazing Oddish. It was a tough battle, that's for sure!"

He nodded quickly as he looked down to Alexis, having suspected she would get at least a little beat up by her fight. "Yeah, it's probably best, since Mark and I are heading up in the mountains." He glanced towards Mark with a smile, waving him over. "Hey, Mark! I'm gonna go to the center and have Alex' healed up! Wanna come with? Otherwise, I'll be back in five minutes!"
Daniel turned back to Oscar, smiling brightly as he offered a hand to him. He might've come off as a bad winner, but he might as well give him the respect he deserved. "Great fight. Hope we can do it again sometime!"

Lincoln West

Lincoln stood stock still for a moment, staring at the battlefield as the sandstorm finally died down. He pulled his goggles down from his face to hand around his neck and blinked. Shadow had gone down from the sandstorm? He'd never really expected the sandstorm to finish Shadow off, using Protect had just been to buy some time but...

We won.

Breaking into laughter Linc jumped into the air, pumping his fist above his head. "Woohooo, Jackson, you NAILED it bro!"
"Shi...shi... shi...eldon..." Jackson wheezed, exhausted but incredibly proud of himself.
"You were, like, totally awesome dude! And so were you Sha-..."

Lincoln stopped mid-sentance, watching as Shadow began to glow and evolve. He'd never seen a pokemon evolution in person before, and neither had Jackson for that matter. The Shieldon was watching the process with wide-eyed fascination.​

Amanda smiled as the glow faded and a Mr. Mime stood where the Mime Jr. had just been. She smiled more going over to her Pokemon and giving him a high five with a giggle. "Great job Shadow" she said happily before going over to Lincoln followed by Shadow and stuck out her hand "Great Battle Linc" she said not even upset at the fact she lost. Just because she was in the Suicune dorm didn't mean she would win every battle, she knew that.

"What now?" Shadow asked as both Trainer and Pokemon's stomach growled.

"Lets go to the cafeteria, I can get food and feed you and the others" she sent back before smiling at Linc "so wanna head to the cafeteria?"

Lincoln West

Lincoln shook Manda's hand when offered. It had certainly been interesting watching a pokemon evolution happen right there in front of him - now he had some idea of what to expect when his own pokemon evolved. The size difference between Mime Jr. and Mr. Mime was incredible, previously Shadow had been a similair size to Jackson and now he towered over him.

"Yeah, totally great battle Manda." He said, not wanting to make a big deal of his victory. It was his first ever win, but he was going to handle it more graciously than he had with his loss earlier that day.
"Shieldon..."

Jackson trotted over to Lincoln's side, rubbing his metal-plated head against Linc's leg.

"Oh, sorry buddy." Lincoln said, pulling Jackson's pokeball from his belt. "C'mon and get some rest." Linc recalled Jackson and returned the pokeball to his belt before nodding to Manda. "Totally. Some grub sounds good right now."​

Oscar smiled and scratched the back of his head at the compliment Daniel had responded with. He wasn't one to brag about his Pokémon but that didn't mean that a compliment was unappreciated. As Daniel waved at Mark, Oscar did the same, but looked back at Daniel when he offered a hand to him. He glanced up at Daniel, then back at the hand before blinking a few times, realizing what he was supposed to do.

''Yeah, it was a great battle. Looking forward to our next one!'' He grinned widely and gave Daniel a somewhat firm handshake. That was a first for him. He wasn't used to shaking hands with his opponent after a battle, but he gladly did so. Turning to Mark, he kept his grin and spoke up.

''So Mark, what did you think of the battle?'' While waiting for a response, Oscar took a few steps towards the Pokémon Center before glancing back at the two. If they followed him, he would continue forward but if they for some reason didn't, he would turn to the two and wait for them.

Suddenly, one of Oscar's Pokéballs released a bright light in front of the other Pokémon, reviling Meden the Meditite. Oscar looked at him with an odd look before shrugging it off. Meden had heard the battle while being in the Pokéball. He looked at all the Pokémon with a mildly confused expression. ''What did I miss?''

Brian

The moment Bean opened her mouth, Bri turned a deep red color and froze, blinking slowly. Had his ears decieved him? Was Bea lying? Was... Was it true? Dster showed remarkable initiative and grabbed Bea by the shoulders and pulled her away from the group.

"We'll be right back! Girl talk and all!" she said, practically dragging the buneary away by her ear. Sprinkles smiled at Ellie and flicked his tail in annoyance.

"Yeah, shut up Rama! No one cares about you being a brat! So pipe down!" he said quickly, his fur tinting red a bit. He sat down with remarkable poise and growled half heartedly at the Zorua, before being pounced on by the hyper little igglybuff.

"Play!" she said happily, and as she bounced away, he growled and leapt at her, missing by a mile. But she squeeled happily and kept rolling on her way.

"U-um... Ok Skye... Shall we?" Bri said, recovering his composure.

Thyme (OOC: I can't remember if Thyme and Snype were left behind, and am lagging too much to check.))

Thyme huffed boredly as she followed Mark and Snype. She didn't really have anything better to do, and she didn't want to go wondering looking for Brian. She remembered the last time she had wondered off with no trainer that she had ended up in the pokemon center for a week. She absently rubbed the scar on her arm and looked at Snype and Mark.

"What are we doing up here?" she asked after a moment.

Drizzle

The buisel yawned and leaned against the door of Entei Dorm. He was clearly waiting for someone. He crossed his arms behind his head and began to think deeply. This was Oak Academy, his home. But, when he had left it and gone back to Hoenn, he had enjoyed it a lot. He had wanted to see more.

"nyeh... What is here that I can't have elsehwere? I know Brian's not the only really nice trainer out there..." he said slowly, crossing his arms across his chest and shaking his head. How could he even think like this? Brian was his friend, as were the rest of Bri's pokemon.

Quin

Quin smiled a bit and kept walking. Mai's ears perked up and he leapt to the ground. Clearly he heard something Quin didn't.

"Mai mai?" he said cocking his head before walking to a wall.

"What is it boy?" Quin said curiously. He smiled and set Ezar down on the ground and walked over to Mai, who was sniffing at the wall and picked him up.

"Mai? What's the matter?" he said slowly. When he got no answer from Mai, he sighed and kept exploring, noting the things in the common room he was in and where the were. Maybe this was important somehow.

Drake (I can't remember if Drake introduced himself or not. If he did, then ignore that part.)

Drake smiled and chuckled to himself slightly.

"Never been pounced by an exuberant flygon? You handled her well kid. I'm Draco, of Blackthorn City. It's nice to meet you Valorie Ryder." he said, extending his hand, a smug smile on his face. Smug because he realized that this was the girl Lance had told him about. This was good. Her Dragonite knew it's business... And wait. Wait. That was one of Lance's dragons! When and how had she gotten a hold of... No., No, it wasn't. It more closely resembled Rena his own dragonair than any of Lance's current Dragonite. That meant merely that it came from Blackthorn City, which is where most of the dratini in the world are from. Sure, it was related to Lanc'es Dragonite, but that meant nothing unless you were the breeder that Drake was.

"Powerful Dragonite you have there? You must be quite the trainer to handle one. Only a few trainers in the world are cabale of training such a creature. Lance, myself, Clair, and you, obviously. There may be others, but I don't know of any. But you can return your pokemon. Killita will behave, and it's a bit cramped in here for your pokemon." he said goodnaturedly, wondering how exactly Killita had known she was the one he had been looking for. Upon closer inspection the girl seemed flustered, and it had nothing to do with being pounced on by thee rambunctious dragon. He vaguely wondered what was wrong, but wasn't going to ask until enough time had passed for her to have recovered from said pounce.

Snype looked over to Thyme as he took a seat to watch the upcoming battle between Daniel and Oscar. "Just watching a few friends battling. Guess Mark figured we'd go off and observe the battle before heading on up to the mountains." Snype said as he sat down next to Thyme.

Len kept a close eye on the battle, mostly on Alexis of course, watching her style of battling. In the end though, Alexis ended up victorious, and Len was extremely happy for her. He got up and ran over to Alexis picking her up in a hug.

"Alexis! You did great out there! Really Impressive!" Len said, quickly pausing when he realized he just picked up Alexis into a hug. "Um... sorry... just a bit excited..." he said as he put Alexis down onto the ground. "So... Pokemon Center?"

Mark enjoyed watching the battle. Seemed that they both knew their stuff pretty well. It inspired him a bit... he hadn't battled in a long time. He wasn't very confident in battling since his last one...

"Good job both of you. It was a really good battle to watch... Yeah we should head up to the Pokemon Center before we go treking up to the mountains. We gotta get you a couple of spare Pokeballs anyways." Mark said.

Snype noticed that Meden popped out of his pokeball. "What'd ya miss? Just a trek through the swamp and a damned good battle." Snype said.

As Alexis and Daniel returned from the battlefield, Alexis looked a little bit tired, but mostly alright, her fur at least –somewhat- decent, still. As Len picked her up in a hug, she let out a surprised squeak, but laughed afterwards, returning the hug, smiling brightly as she was put down again. "Hee, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I sure did. Flora's really tough!" She then nodded her head at his suggestion of going to the center. "Mmh, Daniel wanted to go there before we headed into the mountains."

Daniel smiled sheepishly as he followed along Mark and Oscar as they walked towards the Pokémon Center, lifting a hand to rub the back of his neck. He'd never been that good at battling, and he'd never really been as confident as he had a couple of minutes ago. He wasn't sure what had changed that, but it felt good, that's for sure. Perhaps he was simply expecting to lose, which is why he felt so uplifted. He shrugged his shoulders and simply let out a little sigh, pocketing his hands.
"Thanks Mark. It was actually pretty hard, even with Alexis being evolved. Either type matchups just matter a whole lot, or Oscar is a really great trainer. I'm ready to believe either!" he snickered a little, lifting a hand to give Oscar's shoulder a pat, stuffing his hand into his pocket again afterwards, turning to Mark.

"I'm not really planning on catching anything up there… though I do always carry a Pokéball or two, just in case, you know? I guess we'll see what happens. Do you have an idea of which one you want to catch?" Daniel was starting to run the various ground and rock types he actually knew, but didn't exactly come up with one that fit Mark. Maybe a Rhyhorn for its raw power and defensive capabilities.

Amanda Smith

Amanda smiled at him. "it was a really fun battle, I've never battled against a Shieldon before, next time I talk to my dad I'll have to tell him about it, he's always had a fascination with rock types" she said as she returned Shadow to his Pokeball. She was thrilled that Shadow had evolved, ever since she had caught him Shadow had been dreaming to evolve into a Mr. Mime. Not that dream had come true. "lead the way then" she said to Linc with a smile.

Sapphire Dillon and Bea

Sapphire went over so she was next to Bri noticing he was blushing hard. "Are you okay Bri?" she asked looking at him. She was curious as to why he was blushing but she still had a smile on her face. Her eyes sparkled with happiness as she huffed in annoyance brushing a strand of her brunette hair out of her face.

Bea shook herself out of Dusters grip. "not the ears" she said crossing her arms "and what did you mean by girl talk?" she asked seeing Sakutaro go to stand by Sapphire's feet.

Lincoln nodded and began walking towards the caferia with Manda. They were close enough to smell the food from it already, so it shouldn't take them long to get there.

"Heh, yeah, Shieldon are tough little pokemon. Their strength is, like, in their strength to take a hit, y'know? Once you learn to battle defensively and not worry about attacking directly all of the time, you really get in sync with 'em. Why's your pops like rock types so much? I thought he'd have liked psychic types like you."​

Skye

Skye smiled at Bri and Sapphire. It was almost cute. He felt bad for Bri though. He must have heard the Pokemon. He wondered when that conversation topic would come up, if at all. Deciding to spare what was left of Bri's dignity, he smiled brighter. "Wheh-henever you're reh-ready." He placed his hands behind his head, humming soothingly.

Rama raised an eyebrow at Sprinkles before looking at Ellie. He smirked a little before padding over to Ellie. She rolled her eyes at him. "Rama you aren't helping."

"Oh but the boy's sweet on you," Rama cooed playfully. "I bet it's your charming personality."

"And it's more likely I'm not as nice as an old sock," Ellie told him coolly, placing her tail back on his head. "It's going to be a shame when you evolve," she told her friend, causing Rama to scoff.

"Like I'm going to. I like being a wild animal just fine thank you." He glanced at Sprinkles and shook his head. "Kid I'm warning you. Keep away from girls. They're all bipolar just like this-mmph!" Ellie casually placed her tail over his mouth.

"Bite or drool and I'll make an Iron Tail," she told him in amusement. "At least he's calmed down from the first time we met. I hopefully won't have to hold him in the air anymore." Rama snorted but said nothing.

Ash

Sparx lost her patience and growled at Ash. "Behave yourself," she murmured. "Your mistress be awaiting yes." Ash firmly kept her hand on the lioness' head, ignoring the growling. "Hush up now. I can hear her here. She's waiting at the end of the line. So hush up you silly creature." Sparx complied, glowering at her with irritation. This human was purposely trying to annoy her. She always did this.

Jimmy Vincent

In spite of the fact that Kaida was fully healed by Nurse Joy and had a lot of energy, Jimmy Vincent was exhausted. His clothes were still torn, his hairdo was still messed up and he felt the need to rest up. Kaida was waking next to him, and was poking at the Pokéballs on Jimmy's belt. Suddenly Smokey came out of one of them, startling the baby Druddigon.

"Hey, Kaida, easy there." Jimmy said.

Why was he this way? Why was he so calm? Normally he would walk around with a frown on his face, especially in occasions like this. But there was something that soothed his soul.

He had learnt important things at the academy. Or at least things he considered important. Legendary Pokémon...a Pokéball that would capture any Pokémon without fail... He was putting the pieces together, and another evil smile formed on his face. Kaida kept poking at the Pokéballs around Jimmy's belt, and once again a Pokémon came out, this time it was the maroon Houndour that Jimmy had caught at the volcano.

"Oh, howdy." Jimmy said, "Imma call ya Biff, 'cause it sounds tough."

The Houndour nodded, seeming to agree with Jimmy's idea that Biff sounded tough. As Jimmy kept moving, Biff walked alongside him so as not to be left behind.

Alice Crenshaw


Alice reached her dorm room and went inside. She let go of Jello, took off her boots and turned to face her two Pokémon.

"Okay, um, I'm gonna go take a bath, so," she said, "Don't do anything wicked!"

Both Chuck and Jello nodded and the girl grabbed a some clothes and went inisde her bathroom. After a little while both Pokémon could hear water running, which meant that their trainer was bathing. Chuck grabbed Alice's boots and started licking off the filth off them. Jello couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"Ew, Chuck!" he said, "What are you doing?"

"I'm eating this filth! It's delicious!" Chuck said, looking delighted.

Jello turned away from him, he didn't want to spectate this disgusting show. "Well, then, let me know when you're done." he added. Chuck nodded and continued to lick the mud and filth from Alice's boots. It was indeed disgusting, but Grimers found it delicious.

As they were on their way to the Pokémon Center, Oscar overheard an Entei student talking with another student about something called a TM shop in Oak Town. He made a mental note to look up that later...his Pokémon could use some new moves. Pushing that aside, he turned to the others.

Oscar gave a bright smile to Mark and Daniel. To be honest, he liked battling quite a lot, even if he wasn't too good at it, but he liked Pokémon Contests slightly more. Maybe it was something that ran in the family, he didn't know so he just shrugged lightly. ''Thanks guys and yeah, it was a tough battle. Though it was really exciting!''

Suddenly a thought popped up in his mind and he reched down into his pocket. Taking his hand up again, he had a Pokémon Navigator, or PokéNav for short, in his hand. ''Guys do you have one of these?'' He showed his to Mark and Daniel. ''Maybe we could...trade numbers?'' He asked, a bit quietly, afraid that they would say no.

''Really?'' Meden responded, but didn't push the subject more as the group was approaching the Pokémon Center.

Academy Grounds


Jack sat there in astonishment the battle looked like a stalemate, like it would last for days(weeks actually). Jack decided to take off, once again the urge to battle was running through his blood and he had to find an opponent now. Find one where was a bigger question though, yes there were trainers walking around everywhere but it was more about quality of trainer that he was searching for.

Jack attention turned to the pokemon center, there was probably no better place to find a trainer but there. As Jack reached closer to the center he spotted a boy surrounded by three pokemon including a Koffing(Jimmy Vincent). Jack looked on Blade as if asking his approval in which the scizor responded with a nod. "Hey Kid 3 on 3 battle lets go" some would consider Jack's method of requesting a battle rude but Jack had a theory that any skilled trainer would respond to a request like that positively. Jack tapped Blade "He's in Raikou dorm, you sure? And just look at his clothes" Jack whispered. He wasn't the sort of person who judges people but he wanted a good battle and didn't want to waste his time. "You'll have to battle and find out" Blade jokingly responded.

Jack stood there waiting on the trainers response.

Takumi Ryuuhiko

The pokemon is where it came from huh? That makes sense actually. Anything magical in this world seems to be derived from Pokemon. Takumi was still curious though how exactly humans back then had been able to harness the magical energies of pokemon in such a manner that they could make devices such as the ancient pokeballs rely on that magic.

"I thought you were. I don't believe you were around when I was originally here three years ago," Takumi had replied to her. Apparently now Elizabeth knows Takumi has been around here before her. That may or may not bring up the question of what his words ment by "was originally here". Anyone used to the present day language and a high enough awareness would wonder exactly what he had meant by his choice of words.

"That's usually the responsibility all teachers have," he replied when she mentioned protecting the students. Still, why bring that up? Takumi thought it was fairly obvious. Then again, this girl is a lot different compared to most people. . . almost like. . . as if she was a. . .

"Older?" Takumi asked, a bit bewildered at first. ". . . Exactly. . . how old did you have to be to learn this magic?"

He wasn't going to ask her age yet. Asking a woman's age is rude after all, and he didn't feel that such a question would be proper of him to ask yet. Still though, this girl was just becoming stranger and stranger with each passing second. Something was off, and Takumi felt like he may be getting closer to discovering the answer to all of this than he would've expected.

Kenshin Ren

"Well. . . you're. . . welcome to come and. . . see it if you. . . want," he added. ". . . It's where I. . . usually like to go when. . . class isn't happening."

Something told him he could trust Olivia. Maybe it's because she was becoming one of the first few friends he made at the academy and that he was welcoming it.

Jimmy Vincent

Jimmy was walking to his dorm room, minding his own business, with three of his Pokémon following him, when someone with a Scizor approached him. "Hey Kid 3 on 3 battle, let's go" that person said. Jimmy turned to face him, the evil smile disappearing. Not only he didn't like being talked to like that, but he also didn't like being interrupted when making a plan. Nobody does that to Jimmy Vincent. He glared at the boy, while Biff heard him whisper something.

"He's in Raikou dorm, you sure? And just look at his clothes" the boy whispered to his Scizor.

Biff barked, and asked Smokey what that was about. Smokey, having more knowledge about the matter, immediately got furious that someone was saying stuff like that about Jimmy, and started blowing a sense-looking smog.

"Oh...Then it's on!" Biff barked, and he, Kaida and Smokey joined Jimmy in glaring at the boy.

"Humph. Let's go." Jimmy barked. "Biff, come on!"

Biff immediately jumped forward and growled at the other kid defiantly. "Bring it on, tough guy!" he barked. His aggresiveness matched his trainer's

The trainer responded in the manner he was looking for no hesitation just ready for the battle "Looks like they're trying to intimidate us" Jack smirked as he watched Blade ready himself for battle confident that he would beat the Houndour the boy sent out. "I'll silence the pup" Blade said calmly and confidently. Jack raised his hand blocking his scizors path to their battlefield, in which Jack received a confused look from his pokemon "I think I have someone else in mind for this one" Jack reassured him.

He reached for his belt and grabbed a pokeball throwing it into the air releasing Rocky his Onix to the field. Rocky released a loud intimidating roar as he stared down at the trainer and his fire type. "Get it over with quick" Blade approved of the choice of pokemon and let his friend Rocky know it.

"Alright, kid I think its only fair you go first so go ahead" Jack isn't a hype sort of person but he released confidence as he battled and was looking to make it 2 out of 2 on his return to the island.

Kat sighed. She really didn't want to lie to these people, but she had to protect Kiyoko. She pulled away from the boy as she walked to her bed. Because she still hasn't unpacked, her suitcase was still full and wide open. Kat pulled out a few things, and finally grabbed a piece of paper. She presented it to Kilik.

Dear Katherine,
Your dear cousin will visit you on your first day! Won't that be fun!! Don't tell him you knew though. He wanted it to be a surprise after all of these years. Remember to buy his favorite berry ice-cream. Mago-Oran swirl. I can't wait for you to visit us here in your hometown!
<3 Aunt Stardust

What Kat didn't show them was the second letter sent the day after. The one where her Aunt Dust said Indigo came down with the Flu and couldn't come. Kat put all of her stuff back and looked to Ruby. "I kind of wanted to visit the Power Plant. I really want an Electric Type." Kat imagined having the static filled animal on her shoulder or at her side, calmly walking next to her.

Kilik Chambers


Ruby had asked what they were gonna do? Well since the boy is here, there was no need to look for N, so the training would go as planned. Kat went to her suitcase & got out a letter & showed it to Kilik. Here's what it said:

Dear Katherine,
Your dear cousin will visit you on your first day! Won't that be fun!! Don't tell him you knew though. He wanted it to be a surprise after all of these years. Remember to buy his favorite berry ice-cream. Mago-Oran swirl. I can't wait for you to visit us here in your hometown!
<3 Aunt Stardust

Hmm... This is probably a coincidence. There was a story behind the mysterious boy, & Kilik won't rest until he finds out. "This still doesn't convince me, but I'll let you off for now." He handed the note back to Kat & looked at the boy sucking his thumb. He'll have to know his name sooner or later. He could see Mistress trying to get his attention.

"I kind of wanted to visit the Power Plant. I really want an Electric Type." Kat answered to Ruby. Kilik was thinking the samething. It would be nice to have an electric-type Pokemon accompany him. They're pretty strong too. He nodded to the suggestion of course.

Mistress felt ignored by the boy. She just huffed & turned her head away. "Fine. Don't answer my question about Zoroark." She just walked away behind the bed. More fun~ She thought mischievously. She morphed into a Buneary & hopped to the suitcase. What was in here? The first thing she found, a piece of paper. Something about Indigo sick. Wait, so if Kat's cousin wasn't here, then this boy wasn't Kat's cousin. Even she was listening to the trainers' conversation. She had the paper, & hopped around the room. She's so gonna expose Kat's lie!~

"Mistress! What are you doing?" Kilik complained as he watched her hop around the room. What's her deal, & is that a piece of paper in her hands?

"I kind of wanted to visit the Power Plant. I really want an Electric Type." Kat answered her question, she had showed Kilik a piece of paper in meanwhile, he was still not confinced and his Zorua came up with another piece of paper. 'actually i feel like having a electric pokemon too...' Ruby said to Kat.

"what do you have there mistress?' Yuki asked her curious.
