The Pokémon Trainer Academy (T) [Best Veteran 4Q '11]

[Kezius]

C.J. Styles
Dead Forest

As Dardenette took hold of C.J.'s hand a strange feeling fell over him. He couldn't quite decipher what the feeling was but he didn't like it. Then she pulled him in close to her, introducing herself at last.

"I'm… Dardanette~”

Dardanette? Odd name for an odd girl. She leaned in close to C.J. Had this been any other female he’d be enjoying himself right now. Her eyes locked onto him, his emotions were a strange mix of fear, nervousness, and somehow a relaxing feeling. What was it? He didn’t know what to think of it.

“That was a brave choice~ I desire your soul… Most act as if that were the end of the world~”

C.J.’s eyes widened.

“My soul?!? What is this girl…” He tried to pull away from Dardanette’s grip but was not able to. How can such a small person have such strength? Things were getting stranger every second. Well, he discovered what she wanted. It was now time to get out of here. If only it was that easy though. C.J. glanced around quickly, looking over her Pokemon and the forest, trying to figure out how to get away.

“Okay, guys, it’s now or never. Ax, get her off of me, the rest of you go after her Pokemon, focus on the Gengar.”

With that his Pokemon took action.

Chomp started things of with a Sandstorm. She waves one arm to kick up sand, then waves the other to create the sandstorm. As soon as the Sandstorm begins Custos and Ace make their move. Custos takes in a deep breath and releases a powerful five-pointed blast of orange fire from its mouth at the group of Pokemon opposing their party, at the same time a cyclone of pale purple wind appears around Ace's body and he releases a stream of pale purple fire from his mouth at the Gengar.

Fire Blast + DragonBreathe, should at least cause a distraction for what’s coming next.

While all the commotion was going on Ax circled around to the right of C.J. The little Axew's body becomes surrounded in an invisible energy. A bright flash of yellow light appears in front of her face and she faces towards Dardanette. She then shoots herself at the girl and an orb of light purple energy with spiraling light yellow streaks around it appear around Ax's body as she attempts to slam into Dardanette.

Giga Impact, a bit much to use against a human. But was this girl even truly a human? Time to find out.

[Megaman765]

Lucia and Nika had eventually finished their tests. All that was left was Danielle. When Lucia finished, she approached Mark about Able's buzzing. Mark wasn't too sure about it either. Sure it was a lot quieter but it was still fairly annoying... that's certainly something to ask the teacher.

"I'm not sure... I figured it was just a natural thing that Ninjask's do when they fly around though I guess I could be wrong... sorry about all the noise Lucia. Able is a real piece of work sometimes. She's at the point where she can tolerate me but other then that, I'm not sure." Mark said

Seth Argoz

It was early morning when Seth arrived, his bags in hand. The first thing that he noticed was that this organized set of buildings was bustling with activity, the second thing was that he felt them... Ghost Pokemon, somwhere in the middle of the academy, and lots of them.
Do you feel them too? he asked Shadow, who was in a ball on his belt.
yesss, many spirits are nearby... the Shuppet answered in his cold voice of his. They seem to be concentrated in one building...
Yes, I noticed that too... Let's go.
Agreed...
With that, Seth started walking up the beach to the academy.
****************************************************************
Seth had to ask around a bit, but eventually he stood in front of the Entei dorm. He felt like this was home. As he entered, he felt the temperature rise a few degrees to a comforting warmth. He found "his" room, set his stuff down, and sat on "his" bed. He knew that this was going to be a good place. It would take a while to get used to the multitude of ghostly voices in his mind, but that was simply the same as ignoring a murmuring crowd. He decided he would go explore the campus, maybe watching some battles or talk to a few people from the other dorms... It was all up to him.

By the Sea--Wyatt Wyvern v. Wyatt Donaghue

(OOC; I have dcjboi's permission to write as follows, don't worry ;D )

X-Ray was struck by the Shadow Ball, and sand sprayed in every direction. "X-Ray, you okay, buddy?!" Wyatt W. called out. The Mantyke responded with a tired groan. Wyatt grimaced and recalled his Pokemon.

"Great job, Boo!" Wyatt D. cheered. The Gastly chuckled happily.

Wyatt W. grinned. "Neptune, you're up!" The Totodile leapt into position, and glared at Boo. "Let's see how he likes this! Neptune, use Double Team!" Neptune jumped up and down with excitement, and split into three separate images.

"Clever stuff!" Wyatt D. yelled. "Boo, use Psychic on the one on the right!" An expression of shock fell upon Neptune's face as he was lifted into the air, whirled around, and tossed back onto the beach. The other Totodiles disappeared. Wyatt D. cheered for his Pokemon, and so did his Shellos.

Neptune jumped up, with a growl. "Hit him with an Aqua Jet!" The Totodile surrounded itself with a veil of water, and leapt towards Boo.

SLAM! The Gastly was struck hard, dead on. It floated low to the ground, very near fainting. "Hang in there, Boo! Use Shadow Ball!!" Boo gritted his teeth, rose into the air, and hurled a ball of energy down at the Totodile.

BOOM! The Shadow Ball exploded, and sand rained everywhere once again. Neptune was just barely on his feet. "Come on, Neptune, he's almost toast! Thrash him!" After taking a two second breather, the Totodile leapt at Boo, swinging and clawing and biting wildly--and passed right through the Ghost Pokemon's body, landing on the beach below. Wyatt W. stomped his foot angrily. "DANG it. Forgot that Thrash is a Normal type move!"

"Boo...Use LICK!" The Gastly, wobbling as it descended, extended its large tongue, and ran it upside Neptune's face. Neptune shook from the damage, and fell. Wyatt W. recalled his Totodile.

"Will we allow for substitutions? Old Boo has had just about as much as he can take!" Wyatt D. asked. The Gastly was panting, and wobbling as it hovered above the beach. "It's up to you!" Wyatt W. replied as he held his last pokeball. Wyatt D. looked up at Boo. "What do you say, Boo? Want a rest?" The Gastly looked down at his owner, and shook his head. "Gaaa-GAAAASTLY!" Wyatt D. shrugged. "Guess not!"

Wyatt Wyvern threw his last pokeball, and Draco emerged from within. The Bagon laughed at the weak, wobbling Gastly. "Draco, use Double Team! That Gastly's tougher than he looks!" The Bagon split into three images, and glared down its nose at Boo.

"Have to admit, this is a bit of a desperation move..." Wyatt Donaghue sighed. "Boo, use Hypnosis! Aim for the one on the left!" The Gastly swayed back and forth, and shot out a gust of energy at the Bagon on the left.

Draco fell flat on her face, asleep. The illusions vanished. "What?! Yes!" Wyatt D. called out. "Draco, wake up and use Dragon Rush!" Wyatt W. ordered. The Bagon still slept. "You know what to do, Boo!" The Gastly descended to the slumbering Bagon, and sapped its energy. Boo returned to his position, only moderately refreshed. "Draco, wake up! You have to wake up!" Draco snored loudly, though a cold sweat had broken out on its forehead from the Dream Eater attack.

"Boo, use Lick!" The Gastly descended to the still sleeping Draco and licked her face. The Bagon woke up, but gritted its teeth from the Lick, paralyzed. "Draco, use Dragon Rush!" Draco took a step to move, but fell on its knees, still paralyzed. "Boo! Finish it off with a Shadow Ball!" The Gastly rose high into the sky, and summoned a large ball of dark energy. "GaaaaaaaaaaaaastLYYYYY!" it cried as he hurled the Shadow Ball down at Draco.

BOOM! Sand sprayed everywhere as the Shadow Ball impacted Draco. "You okay, Draco?!" The Bagon closed its eyes and growled. It nodded, took a step forward, then fell, defeated. Wyatt W. recalled his fainted Pokemon.

"WOOOOO!" Wyatt D. cried out triumphantly, before regaining his composure, and walking over to Wyatt W. "That was a great match." "Agreed!" The two shook hands, and Wyatt D. walked over to his Pokemon. "You did a fantastic job, Boo! I'm *so* proud of you!"

Evolution Time!

Boo suddenly emitted large, bright flashes of light and colour. "Oh, MAN! Boo is evolving!" Wyatt D. said excitedly. The Gastly stretched, grew...

"Haaauuuuuunter!" Boo exclaimed. He now possessed a larger, spiky body, and two hands.

Boo gritted his jagged teeth, and floated lower and lower to the ground, still worn out from the fight. "Boo, we should get you healed up. Thank you for the awesome fight, Wyatt! I'll see you around some time!" Wyatt D. shook hands with Wyatt W. one more time, before recalling his Shellos, and putting an arm around his Haunter, supporting him as they made their way back to the school to get healed up. Wyatt W. would do the same shortly.

Chloe Evergreen
-Suicune Dorms-

“ Those should be the last ones Nova.” Chloe said as Nova came back into her room with the last of her luggage. It was really handy having a Psychic type pokemon around. As Nova place two bags on the bed Rose and Jet came in both holding a box in their hands. More of Chloe’s stuff. Chloe arrived at the academy earlier that morning with a ferry and after being welcomed by a member of the staff was escorted to the Suicune dorms where she would stay from now on. Her room was really nice and comfy, and from what she heard the Suicune dorms are the top notch among the three dorms. Good thing she studied so hard for the entrance exams.

“ Ok guess we should unpack. Jet you take that box and put the stuff in the drawers over there. Rose you help me put my clothes in the closet and you Nova put the books on the top shelves over that desk and the rest of the stuff on the desk.” Chloe assigned everything and with that all of them started doing their stuff….well something like that. Nova quickly put the stuff in the right place and since he got quickly bored decided to see what the others were doing. However the rest were still at the beginning of their unpacking, guess not everyone can put thing away just by a flick of their thought. So while Rose and Chloe were carefully placing Chloe’s other clothes in the closet, Nova would simply use Confusion and put the piece of clothing back in the luggage. This went on for a couple of minutes until Chloe and Rose finally noticed that the closet was getting emptier and emptier with every look away from it. Chloe turned around only to see a giggling Elgyem .

“ What did I tell you about playing pranks when we’re busy?!” Chloe told the space pokemon, then turned her head towards Rose and with a big smirk on her face it let Rose understand what she was intending. “ Come here you little rascal!!! Roselia!!!” both Chloe and Rose jumped on Nova and started tickling him until tears came out of his eyes. Nova was surprisingly ticklish for an UFO pokemon.

“Elgyem!!!” the pokemon cried demanding truce.

“ OK but next time remember that these..” lifting her hands….” …and these… “ as Roselia lifted her hands as well “….will be your doom!” she teased Nova and then turn back to putting the clothing, once again, into the closet.

“Elgyem…Elgyem!!!” the pokemon lifted itself up in the air again and after tacking a deep breath to recover from the tickling torture of doom it put on its usual smile once again and floated to its next target. This time it head over to the only living thing in the room beside Chloe and Rose. Jet was just finishing putting the last of Chloe’s things in some drawers. Nova lifted a white sheet from Chloe’s bed and put it on then it lit its colored signals from his hand and sneaked behind Jet and taped him on the tail.

“Rilllll!!!!” Jet shouted as it turned around and got scared. Rose and Chloe immediately lifted their eyes from the closet and over to Jet. But as soon as they saw the scene, out of reflex, Jet launched a Water Gun attack straight at the *ghost*, sending Nova out the window. Chloe and Rose burst out in laughter the instant Nova flew out the window, however Jet realized that Nova was under the sheets and ran out to the window to see if he’s ok. Which of course he was as he stopped his landing using a Confusion attack.

“Are you ok nova? “ Chloe yelled.

“Elgyem!!!” he shouted back saying he was fine.

“Now my bed sheets are all soaked!!!" She said turning to Rose, but as soon as she ended her sentace Nova sent the sheets flying with a Confusion attack and placed them on the frame of the window to let them dry in the sun.

“Thanks! Wait there, we’re coming too!” Chloe shouted once again, oblivious that there may be someone in the dorm or that classes are being held at this hour. Today Chloe was off the hook as she arrived in the middle of the study period so she was excused from it to pack and get to know the place. And that’s what she was planning to do. She went outside and called Jet and Nova back to their pokeballs, letting only Rose out. The others didn’t mind that much being in a pokeball as they knew that as soon as Chloe find something interesting they would be called out again. So with that being done Chloe and Rose started walking away from the dorms, to a destination unknown to them for now.

Orion Riecher, Beach to Suicune dorm.

"and cease. Good work both of you, but Jakio you need to use hone claws faster if you want to land a hit too. Turbine keep that shock wave strong even if it hits everything. Now we can head back. I forgot my empty pokeballs anyway so there isn't much point." Orion said hvaing the training fight finished.

It was his pride and joy to see is pokemon training. both were at the same level of skill, and were perfect sparing partners. Shame it'd become a bit unfair if Jakio evolved before he learned earthquake. either way things were pretty good today. Orion begna to head back his dorm both of his pokemon in tow. On the way he spotted a girl he hadn't yet met.

"Forgot we were getting another suicune student." Orion said pulling up his black jacket, which he wore since he too agreed the hierchy of dorms was rather pathetic even though he was on top.

"Hello there you're the new girl I'm guessing." He asked, "I atleast haven't seen you around.

[Meganium90]

Danielle Accola & Megan Sandoval
Classroom

Struggling a bit to get through the test, Danielle was starting to lose a bit of hope…especially to the last question. It looked tricky, tricky enough to mess up her head. It dawned on her that most of the students, including Mark and Lucia, had finished the test quicker than her. She scratched her head using her pencil, and gave the last question a guess.

Three students remain in the classroom, including herself. As she gave the quiz a final revision, she got up with her belongings and placed the quiz on top of the desk. Megan spotted her as she did it, and smiled.

“How was the quiz?” she asked her.

“Well…it was alright,” Danielle whispered her reply, not intending to smile. “I think I did pretty well.”

“Alright then. I’ll see you up on the roof.” Megan grinned as she grabbed her clipboard that had the pairs. She studied them a little longer as two of the students, an Enteier and a Suicuner continued their quizzes.

Danielle quickly left the classroom and found both Mark and Lucia waiting for her. She felt a bit embarrassed that she took too long in taking the quiz, it seemed so easy for her, except for the last question. It was grateful to see that her friends were able to complete it so quickly.

“That quiz, oh my goodness.” Danielle started to speak as she approached to the two Suicuners. “I think I did pretty well, how about you guys?”

As she asked, she started to walk towards the elevator that lead to the rooftop battlefield. This was her chance to take out Sector the Yanma. She wanted to be prepared to battle as she faces one of the students at the rooftop. In this instance, she took out a Pokeball, and released the Yanma out of the ball.

“Yaaaaaaaanma!” Sector cheered as he came out of the ball.

((OOC: be sure you meet at the battlefield by my next post. :D))

Drew Stone - Battlefield #6

It was generous of Drew to let Tristan go first. It was his code to let a girl or a woman go first in terms of battles. He learned that the hard way with his best friend Leena. Drew managed to remember what Leena had told him before. Focus on the moves, and the speed.

As the Skarmory threw a cloud of sand at Embee and Syd, the Croagunk sprinted quickly to hit the little Petilil. The sand made both Pokemon hard to see, and Syd had no idea where the Skarmory and the Croagunk went. Drew covered his mouth as the sand got to him, making it hard to see his two Pokemon.

Croagunk successfully hit Syd, sending him off to Drew.

“Embee, use Retaliate on Skarmory!” Drew shouted as he opened his eyes. Honestly, he wasn’t thinking straight. Skarmory’s sand attack made the battlefield a bit too hard to see.

He couldn’t find Syd anywhere. As the cloud faded a bit, Syd didn’t resist the pursuit. She was laying there, fainted, unable to battle. Was Tristan’s Pokemon stronger? Drew sighed, but still remained in shock. Well, I’m appalled. He returned Syd inside his Pokeball, and focused on Embee’s retaliate.

[romdinner]

Chloe Evergreen
-Suicune Dorms-

As Chloe was about to leave another student came out from the Suicune dorm with a black jacket in his hand. He wasn’t wearing the official dorm uniform, but Chloe wasn’t either, she preferred her normal clothes as they were pretty nice and didn’t have a an imaginary tag name that would say *I’m Suicune I’m better than you* like the uniform has. However, if he came out of the Suicune dorm he must be in the same dorm as she is. He approached her and greeted her.

“Well I haven’t seen you either, that’s for sure. And yes I’m the new girl, Chloe Evergreen.” She said and lifted her hand to greet him back. “ Oh and this here is Rose, my pokemon."

She didn’t even leave the dorm and she had already met someone. The boy seemed nice at first glance but Chloe had enough time to find out. Meanwhile Rose was standing next to Chloe curious of the so called boy. The pokemon was staring at his black jacket and found it familiar to one that a biker Chloe fought, had.

[jasonwolf]

"Orion, Jakio, and Turbine. would be us three." Orion sad pointing to each as he siad the name, "does my jacket fascinate you or something?"

Jakio meanwhile has a slight smirk on his face as he saw the grass type. Oh if a fight started it'd be a cake walk. Turbine also sized up the pokemon, but wasn't really caring either way. Orion meanwhile sized up the trainer. She obviously made it to suicune so she couldn't be too bad, but thena gain Isaac was a mad genious and was only in Entei so.

"So what region you hail from? I'm a Hoenn native myself. Then again though never really called it home." Orion said.

(he's wearing the jacket. pulling up means like pulling it up around his shoulders.)

[romdinner]

Chloe Evergreen
-Suicune Dorms-

Chloe looked at each one as Orion stated their names, and so did Rose until Orion turned to her and asked a question. “ Roselia!” the pokemon replied shaking her head as a No.

“ So these are yours!” looking at the pokemon.

"So what region you hail from? I'm a Hoenn native myself. Then again though never really called it home." Orion said.

“ I’m native from the Unova region. It’s very nice there but it’s got to have a change of scenery from time to time.” Chloe replied not knowing what to understand from his later remark, but then again it was a minor matter. “ Do you have anything to do at the moment?” She asked as she was new to the place and needed a guide on her first day. ‘ If not could you show me around a bit?”

[Lincoln West]

Nika Valentine

Despite finishing before some other students Nika had taken close to the full time for the quiz, double checking her answers studiously. Eventually she placed her quiz sheet on Megan's desk, gathered her satchel and left the classroom. As she made her way to the rooftop battlefield she tried to decide which pokemon she should use in the upcoming battle. It seemed highly likely that the majority of students who owned a bug or grass type pokemon would try and use them, meaning her Larvesta Eve would have a considerable advantage. But this was class after all, and should primarily be about learning, not winning.

There was her new Pineco... she was very curious to see how the newly hatched pokemon fared in battle, but she'd had no time whatsoever with him this morning before she'd had to rush to class. Throwing him straight into a battle without a chance to train him a little would be foolhardy.

That left her Joltik, Spider. Her Shelmet, Sage. And of course there was Parasect and her new Yanma. By the time she reached the battlefield she was still mulling it over. Inspiration would probably strike when she learned who her opponent was to be.

[Baloth]

After healing his Pokémon, Wyatt retreated to the Suicune Dorm to catch up on some sleep. He thought he heard some activity in the adjoining rooms, but didn't much care. Boo floated behind him, yawning and stretching. He was examining and playing with his newly formed hands. Wyatt released Gaia and Sheldon, and all four clambered onto the bed, and eventually found decent sleeping positions (which was difficult, because of the Grotle's mass), and soon drifted off to sleep. The sight would be rather awkward, as Gaia was in the middle, taking up the most space, Wyatt was curled around her, against the wall, Sheldon slept at Wyatt's feet, and Boo slept in between Gaia's bushes.

[jasonwolf]

'Well I was going to head back to the dorm to grab my stuff...'

"Sure I ain't got anything going on. Though to be honest I haven't been everywhere in this school myself." Orion admitted.

Orion returned both of his pokemon as to clear up some space. But as he did so his mind was at work. Unova... hmm she does look like someone from there... oh well guess it doesn't matter much.

"Well firstly I guess we have the dorms here. named for the three Johto beasts. Personally I prefer Raikau, but aparently they put the one weak to him at the top."

[Ocelli]

Tristen S, Raikou Dorm
[Battlefield #6]

Drew’s Umbreon came at Tristen’s Skarmory and landed a solid retaliate on its breastplate, knocking the steel bird back with unexpected force. Tristen frowned. Because Petilil had fainted from Gabriel’s attack, Umbreon’s counter move came with extra power. If Skarmory didn’t have its armor, he might’ve been in serious trouble... The red-eyed girl bit her lip.

Poor thing, Tristen thought as she turned to the fainted grass-type pokemon through the cloud of dust. I didn’t think it’d faint that quickly... She felt a little bit sorry for the small green bulb as she was returned to her pokeball.

Meanwhile, Skarmory tried to shake his head to recover from the stunning blow, and Gabriel turned to await his next order. “Gabriel, taunt, but keep your distance from Skarmory!” Promptly, the small purple frog began bothering Embee in an attempt to direct his attention elsewhere. I need to give Skarmory time to recover--We really need to work on his agility.

Immediately after commanding Gabriel, Tristen shouted at the steel bird. “Skarmory. Skarmory! Snap out of it, and use air cutter!”

[romdinner]

Chloe Evergreen
-Suicune Dorms-

“ Well I just need the basic things to know like, where the classes are held and where to hang out in my free time.” Chloe said starting to walk alongside Orion as he explained about the dorms. However Chloe already knew all that but it was fun seeing him try to act like a guide.

“Hmmm in my case I don’t have a favorite as all three of them seem spectacular, but if I’d have to choose one it would be Suicune.” She said. “ Is the rivalry so wretched between the dorms or am I sensing it wrong? “ she asked, as from what she was hearing from the teenager it seems that the three dorms didn’t get along that well, or at least the students weren’t happy about it.

[jasonwolf]

"some people take it a bit far. I personally just wan them all gone. One dorm equal for everyone. its pathetic really. Well anyway the main classrooms are all in that building, but classes are going on and well I'd prefer not to get called out for making too much noise in those halls. I can show you around the town though. Thats bit out of the way fo course." Orion explained.

Of course this had to be his day off. showing a new girl around. To other people it mightbe great, but he'd come here to meet up with an old friend who seemed to not exist here. Maybe she'd turn up eventually.

[Bassiroth]

Kenshin Ren

Kenshin was surprised at Killik waving to him. He was even more surprised that the teacher had came to him and introduced himself to him. He usually doesn't expect this kind of personal greeting from a teacher.

"Um...K-Kenshin...sir..."

He at least answered the man's question. That's a good enough start, he thought to himself.

Pikachu's ears twitched as he looked down from Kenshin's shoulder and saw Yaiba.

Uh...Not much.

Pikachu was kinda surprised himself that his opponent from that battle came over to speak to him. But he didn't mind it.

(OOC: They did. Yaiba had also fought against Kenshin's Torchic-now-Combusken in that battle)

[Jbsundown]

"Ah, Kenshin! Wonderful! Please take a seat as the lesson will start shortly."

Ryan turned to his desk and picked up a small stack of papers that had several questions. He placed the sheets face down on each of the desks then he sat down on his chair and waited for others to arrive.

[IceFyr1928]

Seth Argoz

Seth realized as he got closer that thy were apparently ignoring him. Smart snobs... Think they know everything... Seth then decided to keep walking aimless ly, the voices had swelled to an alarming magnitude, and he was getting a headache. He eventually came to a stadium. This looks promising... Shadow nodded his head in agreement. Seth walked in to find a stadium covered with ice. Battlefield 9 was written on a large banner accross the back wall.

[ShinyDiamond]

(Ooc: Thanks Bassiroth! Let's see... We're just missing Ruby & Drake for the class. I don't know who RPs as Drake, but PinkSapphire, I believe she'll post tomorrow.)

Kilik Chambers - Mr. Ryan's Classroom

I could see Kenshin was surprised to see me. Guess I must be famous. I hope the other students get here soon. I wanna see how smart I am on this little quiz. I bet I know my legends.

I was tapping my right index finger on my desk with my left elbow on the desk & my head resting on my left hand, looking bored as my eyes wander around the class. Boredom can be so cruel. I could see Yaiba was talking with Kenshin's Pikachu. Even Pokemon can get bored it seems.

Uh...Not much. Pikachu replied. Yaiba took out one of his shells & began examining it.

I gotta say, he began, still examining his shell, you were pretty good on our first battle. How's your training? Yaiba put his shell back & waited for Pikachu to reply. I almost fell asleep just now! Good thing Pokemon interest me.

[TheAmazingTaco]

(OOC: First RP post @_@ Sorry if I mess up or something. :< )

It was time! Time for RJ to go out and meet fellow students of the academy. No time to be shy! Definitely! RJ took a deep breath as he reached for the door handle. He was going to try and walk out. His hand gripped the cold handle of the door, but then he stalled. --Come on. Open the door.-- He thought to himself. He just had to. Unfortunately, he just stood there. Thinking about how to open this contraption. "What if I screw up and have to go back home? Grandma would be upset with me and my cousin. . . will probably shank me." The bitter thought of his rough-tough younger cousin pulverizing him because he chickened out.

His Scyther was standing behind him, patiently waiting to walk outside. Nope. His trainer wasn't going to budge. So finally, after a good few minutes of waiting, Slasher finally nudged RJ to the door. If he had fingers he would have opened it for RJ. But sadly, he did not. Although the idea of slicing the door open did appeal to him.

"Okay! Okay Slasher. I-I'll go!" And with that nudge of encouragement, he finally opened the door and stepped outside. And even so, he eventually made it out where a lot of other students are.

"Err-" RJ said. This was interesting for him. How would he be able to talk to other people so suddenly? Despite his excitable nature, he comes off shy at first then that's when his friendly and talkative side takes over. "Slasher, where should we go, huh?" He looked over to him curiously.

Slasher looked around for a moment. His attention was redirected to RJ. Now he was getting annoyed with his friend. It's odd seeing RJ being all shy and awkward about conversing with people he didn't know. "Scyther!" He then headbutted RJ lightly, just to keep him going.

RJ stumbled forward a bit and decided to speak up in a quiet tone. Maybe someone will say hello back? "Er-H-Hello?" Then Slasher poked him in the side with his scythe. "Hello everyone!!!!!" He yipped. No he has no idea where he's going either.

[IceFyr1928]

Seth Argoz

Seth didn't know how to explain it, but something was pulling him back to the dorms. There was a small internal sense that it was urgent. Knowing about such things from his time enrolled in the gym, he was obliged to listen to it, and let his subconscious mind guide him. Where he ended up suprised him. He was back in front of the Suicune dorm. He walked inside, and was suprised at what he saw. Floating in front of one of the doors was a Haunter. He now realized why the voices had become louder. He extended his mind towards the Haunter and touched a surprisingly warm concience for a ghost type Pokemon.
Do you belong to the trainer in that room? A nod from the Haunter.
What do you want?

[Baloth]

Wyatt sat up in bed. "Boo?" The Haunter was elsewhere. He fell out of bed, and shuffled across the room. Wyatt opened the door, and there was Boo, along with some other trainer. "THERE you are. What's going on? Who's this?" The Haunter threw its hands into the air--its best effort at a shrug, lacking elbows--and returned to his owner's side. "Who are you?" Wyatt asked Seth. His Shellos and Grotle had since entered the doorframe, peeking out to see what was going on. Wyatt looked Seth up and down, trying to determine his intentions and motives. Boo lay a comforting hand on Wyatt's shoulder, but he still held some anxiety about what was going on. His Shellos slithered up his leg, and perched atop Wyatt's head.

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

Valorie Ryder - Academy Hallways

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Valorie placed her hands on her hips all like 'I am so disappointed!'. ... She just sort of blinked when Kiyoko started to speak again however. So he... he did speak. He spoke well, but... who was R men? What was that all about? In all frankness, Valorie came from Unova. Team Plasma was sort of their resident terrorists, not Team Rocket. Valorie just sort of bent over the table some, slowly, bringing her face closer to Kiyoko's level. Someone page Gold for 'dat rear'. ...No seriously someone get Gold. ;o

"...My name's Valorie. I'm a student here at this school." Valorie said in a rather serious tone. "You've..--I'm not an R man, or an R girl." She took a deep breath and let it out. This seemed to help her chill out a bit. "...I don't even know what that means... Listen, you're kind of... /mine/ now. Do you think we could talk about this?" she continued, in a more casually but still somewhat frustrated tone.

Valorie seemed oddly okay with talking to a Pokemon. She... kind of had experience. Kiyoko might sense her yamask's presence hiding in her shadows currently, passively listening to the conversation. After a moment, Valorie pulled out a pokemon treat. It wasn't exactly generic stuff. This was, as the name implied, a treat. Something rather yummy, though it was little more than a snack or perhaps a very light meal given Kiyoko's size. "...Still feeling out of it?" She held the treat out to Kiyoko, offering it to him. This time, her tone was more friendly. She was puttin aside her frustrations for the moment being.

Olivia Wolf - N's Classroom

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Olivia totally just tilted her head and then proceeded to giggle at N's response, before growing wide eyed. What? Whaaaat..? His Zoroark tasted him?! ...Hah. Naaah. He was obviously joking!~ Of course! She was a genius. To be fair, Olivia wasn't all that concerned with looking smart to others. Or... or was she? Wait a second! Boys /liked/ intelligent girls! Suddenly Olivia appeared more focused. She was determined to answer this question.

...Cue the grinding of her brain's gears to a halt.

"...Um... The uncalculatable stuff?"

...Veeery specific, Olivia.

Elizabeth - Elizabeth's Classroom

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elizabeth watched Takumi with interest. Aww... look at that! Takumi was the teacher's pet! Er... prodigy! Something. In hindsight, absolutely every standard teacher joke sounded awkward when you considered that Takumi was both taller than she was and looked older. FIST OF THE BIG. DIPPER. She seemed to be watching Takumi with interest. After a moment she looked up and observed the rest of the class before moving her way out from behind her desk to get a better view of what some of the students were doing. It might seem that she didn't have much intention of handing out any of her other pokeballs--At least, not without being asked anyway. After a few moments she spoke up.

"Does...--Does anyone need any... assistance?" she offered, not quite able to visibly see how everyone was doing from her rather small vantage point. You'd think she would use a pokemon to boost herself up or something!

Dardanette Korie - Dead Forest

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dardanette's Gengar abruptly hunched over in anticipation, it's eyes flashing before speedily leaping out of the way of the oncoming attacks. It had used detect in order to predict and dodge. It had made most of C.J.'s attack innefective. The... remaining part of the attack however... was super effective.

C.J.'s gible summoned a sandstorm, immediately reducing Dardanette's ability to breath by 50-75%. She began to choke, seeming confused and disorientated by the attack. She needed to filter her breathing through her sleeve, or she'd literally /inhale/ sand repeatedly! Which is... totally hilariously fatal. Dardanette let go of C.J. and shielded her mouth with her sleeve, the cloth letting air through but not sand. Regardless, she was still quite disorientated as the attack pelted her body. And ... and then Gible came at her and slammed into her gut with a giga impact attack. The results were immediate. The attack caused Dardanette's knees to buckle, and she hunched over as the small pokemon plowed into her with all the force of an actual jet plane. Her feet slid across the ground before she lost her balance, falling down in a bodily manner and continuing to skid backwards before stopping in a rather uncomfortable looking position half a dozen meters away. Her fedora lay nearby.

...The best way one could describe what they'd just seen was that it looked quite like a car crash at very much fatal speeds. The strange girl did not get back up.

All of a sudden the ghostly aura glowing around Dardanette's pokemon faded, and with it they seemed to grow weaker. He had discovered a weakspot, and all it had required him to do was brutally beat up a girl. Dardanette's pokemon seemed disorientated and looked around, their eyes slowly settling on C.J. and his own pokemon.

C.J. Styles
Dead Forest

Well, his attacks on the Gengar didn’t go as planned. But his attack on the girl went a little to well. Seems Giga Impact might have been a bit to much after all. Should have went with tackle. It’s not exactly like C.J. took pleasure in nearly killing this girl, but he felt relieved for the first time since she showed up.

As soon as Dardanette had let go of his hand C.J. jumped back behind his Pokemon covering his mouth as he did. The Sandstorm did as intended but it also effected himself as well as his own Pokemon. He has to figure away out of this soon or he might end up like she just did.

That ghostly aura also dissipated, so the girl was connected to it after all. The Pokemon Dardanette had with her seemed to lose their power and concentration. Perhaps they weren’t use to being without their trainer? Best take advantage of this.

C.J.: “Good job guys, but we’re not done yet. Custos, Ax, use Aerial Ace! Chomp Sand Tomb! Ace use Dragon Breathe on Gengar again!” Ack, ghost types. Limit his move set put hopefully the disorientation will be just what he needs.

They were outnumbered still but he had to make the most of it. Custos and Ax jumped into the air as white streaks of light surrounded them. They criss-crossed in the air before turning and heading back towards the ground. Ax aiming at the Golurk while Custos focused on the Elecktross. Meanwhile Chomp waves her arms to one side, kicking up sand. Then, she waves her arms to the other side and a cyclone of sand is fired at the Swalot and Hydreigon opposing her.. If the sand reaches the Swalot or Hydreigon, it will spin around it like a tornado.

Once again a cyclone of pale purple wind appears around Ace's body and he releases a stream of pale purple fire from his mouth at the Gengar. Hopefully this time it makes contact.

After he had given his Pokemon their orders C.J. began looking for an escape route. If the time comes that Mean Look is no longer in effect he will be running, he just needs to find out where to run to.
