Bus driver - lol

"Come on now, you don't want to be late for the festival. keep this between you and me, but everyone on this bus is aware of the league. Hop on quickly."
the bus driver showed a quick and sly smile before heading onto the bus, and awaiting skylar to follow him on and take her seat.

DayMair June 28th, 2013 12:42 PM

Skylar's grin grew wider. "Wow! Really? Thanks!" She had to restrain jumping up and down like a little girl. She followed the driver up and onto the bus, surveying the people on board. It seemed that the bus driver was right; these people were just trainers, not rich folks like she'd thought. She spotted a seat in the back next to a boy with an Absol. He looked friendly enough, so she headed back and plopped down in the seat next to him.
"Hi! I'm Skylar," she smiled and stuck out her hand. Espeon jumped down onto her lap and looked around curiously.

Bus Ride - Part 1

Absol growled at the window. "It's ok boy, I don't think they know we're here." Justin whispered to Absol. He heard someone land in the seat next to him, then some talk and turned around to see a girl talking to him. He reached out and shook her hand "I'm Justin." He looked away for a second to watch the guards then turned back to the girl. "So uh, you know where this bus is headed?"

Tabris-A Bus Full of Trainers Part 1?

Tabris watched the girl he noted before boarding pass by, heading to the back of the bus to sit next to the shade wearing boy. He also smiled, though it was invisable behind his over-sized scarf, when his sister pointed with excitement to the Espeon that crawled onto the girl's lap, she enjoyed all the Eeveelutions. "Patience Tsuya, I'm sure we'll be introduced once we reach the lake." Tabris told his sister who began shaking with anticipation.

Snease however glared at the psychic Pokemon from her seat, she definately wasn't fond of any psychic type. Maybe she was even a little jealous as she pulled the back of her violet scarf, which was large enough to fit over her head like a hood. "Snea-sel." She pouted to herself, crossing her arms. Tabris turned back to look out the window at the Proven members that seemed to have lost track of the boy with the Absol. It wasn't hard to realize that it was he they were searching for. With the bus driver on board as well Tabris figured they'd be on the move soon enough.

DayMair June 28th, 2013 7:17 PM

"Nice to meet you Justin," Skylar glanced down at his Absol, who was growling at something. Her gaze shifted out the window to see what they were looking at. Just a couple guards, she thought, they aren't a rare sight..who cares?
Her attention returned to Justin as he spoke, inquiring about where they were going. "The bus driver said something about a festival," she said, then giggled with embarrassment. "I'm not exactly sure honestly. The driver must've thought I belonged on this bus... I don't even have a bus ticket!" Skylar shrugged sheepishly.
Espeon looked up at Tsuya as she pointed at her. The purple Pokemon jumped out of Skylar's lap and ran over to the girl. "Espi! Espi!" she mewed with a smile.

Tabris-A Bus Full of Trainers Part 2 (Tsuya and Espeon)

Tsuya giggled happily and egerly reached to scratch the stranger's Pokemon behind both of it's long ears, careful to avoid touching the shining red gem on it's forehead. "Eon!" Tsuya barked back, she wasn't too familiar with many Pokemon, but knew her stuff about Eevee. Tabris watched his sister and the Pokemon which seemed friendly enough not to pose a threat, while petting Snease through it's scarf who growled disapprovingly at the newcommer's Pokemon.

ElBurrito June 28th, 2013 7:59 PM

Bus Ride - Part 2

Justin laughed abit, "I don't have a ticket either, I just walked on while the driver was distracted." He turned and looked out the window again and watched the Proven Guards turn around and walk the opposite direction. He sighed in relief and layed his head back. So, a festival eh?, Justin thought to himself, I'm guessing there's going to be trainers there. He rubbed Absol's head for a few seconds. And I can finally battle someone....

DayMair June 28th, 2013 8:04 PM

Skylar's gaze followed Espeon, but, seeing as the girl wasnt harming her Pokemon, she turned her attention back to Justin. "Yeah.. I wonder what kind of suff's gonna be there." Her gaze grew dreamy. "I've never been to a festival before. I've always wanted to though. They seem so exciting!"
Espeon grinned up at Tsuya in pleasure, and jumped up onto her lap. "Peon! Espi!"
The purple Pokemon heard a growl of displeasure from another certain Pokemon behind her, and turned her attention to Sneasle. Sensing Snease's dislike, Espeon stuck out her tounge and turned back to Tsuya.

Sheraku June 28th, 2013 8:17 PM

Tabris-A Bus Full of Trainers Part 3 (Battle Quickly Adverted-Tsuya Speaks Pokemon?)

Snease's red eyes narrowed as the Espeon presented it's tongue, turning carelessly back to Tsuya who began gently playing with the tufts of fur just below it's ears. "Sneh!" Snease replied extending her two razor like claws from her left hand in a battle ready position. Tabris sternly locked eyes with his Pokemon shaking his head. "Not on the bus, remember we snuck on" He whispered. Immediately retracting her claws Snease crossed her arms again, and turned to face out the window.

"Eeeon...eeeon...Espeon." Tsuya sang, admiring the purple cat-like Pokemon's split tail. Which she knew well not to mess with. Instead she just continued to stroke the Pokemon from ear to shoulder.

DayMair June 28th, 2013 8:27 PM

Espeon purred. She really was enjoying this; irritating the Sneasle and being petted by Tsuya. Her ears flicked up as the girl began singing, and she swayed her tail to the rhythm. Sneasle seemed to be getting more irritated, as Espeon noticed it's now battle-ready claws, but she wasn't the least bit frightened. The weasel-like Pokemon wouldn't dare attack her now, while she was on it's trainer's sister's lap.

IceFyr1928 June 28th, 2013 10:09 PM

Derek Stonemason - Goldenrod City




Derek finally fell onto his couch with a woosh, shopping with Tetra was pleasant, but hard on the legs. She had acted as a teenage girl would, lookin at clothing, talking about guys... Though she didn't say anything past their appearances, and she was moderate about that. She had ended up convincing Derek to buy her a pair of specially made black fingerless gloves, along with a short brimmed black fedora festooned with a red ribbon around its base. She looked quite cute in the outfit, however she insisted that they stop at the local coffee shop for a drink before heading home.

Derek contemplated heading to the Ruins to train, but there wasn't many places he could go where he already wasn't too powerful to train much. He had to rely on trainr battles, and many of the usual trainers had learned to avoid his deadly trio of large Pokemon. As such, Derek was stuck sitting on the couch, waiting for the day to wind down and his mother to get back.

His daydreams were interrupted by the sound of his vibrating PokeGear, which he picked u. He saw that an unknown number was calling, so he picked up, answering, "Hey, this is Derek."

"We know who you are, Derek Stonemason," the man on the other end of the line said. It was a deep, ominous voice, and Derek could just imagine a scar-faced large man that wrestled Ursarang in his free time being the owner of it.

"Go outside and get onto the bus that will arrive momentarily. Be sure to bring your token," the voice continued. Derek was about to ask who he was talking to, which he expected at least a dodgy answer to, but only got the dial tone in his ear, marking that the other line had hung up.

Derek stood, many questions buzzing through his mind. How did they know his number? How did they know about him? Who in the hell were they?!? Whoever they were, they had been keeping close tabs on Derek. The embelem that had been given to him all those months ago weighed heavily from the pocket he had seen onto the inside of his shirt, and it felt deathly cold.

However, Derek's thoughts were intererrupted by Tetra walking down the stairs, her attire that had been recently acquired being donned. Derek forgot everything he had been thinking about, and she smiled at him. He looked her up and down appraisingly- wait, was that eyeshadow? It turned out that yes, Tetra now wore a small bit of black eye shadow, framing her beautiful blue eyes. Tetra then broke the silence by saying, What? Is there something wrong?

Derek began stammering, his brain locked in place, and Tetra chuckled. She looked over to the front door, behind quick the hissing sound of a parking brake could be heard. Looking back inquisitively to Derek, Tetra asked, Who do you think would be here?

Derek's brain finally kick started again, and he replied, "Don't you remember that festival we were invited to? Apparently, they sent a bus to pick everyone up!" He grinned, and opened the door, walking out into the midday sun. Tetra was not far behind, and the both of them boarded the bus that awaited them.

The bus was moderately full, and thankfully Derek was able to find a pair of seats that were unoccupied. He and Tetra sat, and the bus once again began moving. They were off to the Johto League's Trainer Festival!

Nate June 29th, 2013 1:23 AM

Yuki - Finnally

Yuki sat on the bus which was now in full motion with dim eyes half asleep. There were many people on this bus, on average about 30-40 and most came in pairs, some came alone. Yuki was too tired to notice this at first, but as he looked closely at the bus driver he noticed that the bus driver was not at the wheel... No-one was.

Yuki stood up, wanting badly to say something, but was made to sit down by his mother, which was quite an embarrassing sight. The bus driver then walked through the isles. Yuki was unsure whether anyone else had noticed the missing driver, he wished they did.

"Welcome all," the bus driver began, "to the league festival." A slight gasp came out of Yuki's mouth, shocked that everyone on this bus was part of it.

"Indeed, I understand what you are thinking, how is it that we all ended up here? Well I planned it all!" And with that, the male fat bus driver pressed a button on the wheel, and the windows were suddenly turned dark, then he clenched the bottom of is face to start peeling it off...

The person underneath the mask was... Alder, champion of Unova...

"Yes yes, I understand, cheesy right? Well this was then only way to get you all here, if I hadn't done so, you would all have headed to the lake of rage on your own accord. You all got here in different ways, correct?" No sound could be heard from anyones mouth, only silence.

"Hmph, usually that's when the chattering happens, nether the less, we will be stopping soon in Mahogony town, as we will actually be holding the festival in the old team rocket base!"

Yuki couldn't believe what he was hearing, but him being Alder, he trusted the mans word and settled back into his chair, his mouth shut.

(-Sorry was planning on making longer but I'm off for the weekend. See you sunday!-)

DayMair June 29th, 2013 4:21 AM

Skylar's mouth hung open. Alder?! Champion of Unova?!
She'd heard of him before, and could only dream of someday actually meeting him. Her gaze wandered around the bus. So these were her...opponents? Friends? Only time would tell. Her eyes fell on the couple that had just entered the bus: a boy and his Gardevoir that looked more human than Pokemon. She was decked out in stylish clothes, and was even wearing makeup! Skylar frowned slightly, feeling a twinge of jealousy. Even this Pokemon had it better than her!
She shook her head and concentrated on the festival again. Flygon was stuck in her mind. Hopefully she'd finally be able to reveal him...let him walk around with her..
Her hand touched his pokeball, which was deep within her bag. "Don't worry," she murmured, "Soon.."

ElBurrito June 29th, 2013 6:37 AM

Bus Ride - Part 3

Justin opened his eyes to see the bus driver close the windows. The driver said something about being Alder and mentioned the league. So these are all trainers, he thought to himself, well this should be interesting. He looked around at the trainers and their pokemon, Gardevoir and Espeon should be no match for Absol and Haunter, his gaze switched to sneasel, although that'll be a problem for my whole team.... He pulled the battle coin out of his pocket and flipped it around in his hand to get a good look at it. He picked up his backpack, checked his pokeballs, then put his cap and shades in it. Let the battles begin...

Sheraku June 29th, 2013 7:28 AM

Tabris- A Bus Full of Trainers Part 4 (Heading off)

Soon after the bus started moving, it again stopped at the driveway of a random house. From the front door exited another boy, follwed by a attire sporting Gardevoir. Snease slapped her head at the sight of yet another psychic Pokemon. Tabris watched the boy and his Female companion find their empty seats, but didn't say anything. As he soon heared a voice comming from the aisles. Witnessing the absance of the bus driver behind the wheel he watched the "fat man" peel off his own face, which endded up being a desguise to hide his true identity, Alder the Unova Champion.

The spikey orange haired man welcomed all the trainers on the bus, and announced that they'd be heading to an abandoned Team Rocket hideout in Mahogany. Tsuya was still preoccupied with the purple Pokemon on her lap and laughed as Espeon's tail followed the rhythm of her song, not much said involved her attention anyway. Tabris, however not knowing Alder still listened to the rather towering man intently. 'Mahogany,' He repeated in his mind. A wave of saddness flowed past him, but it was sub-contious, as he suddenly felt a rush of excitement hearing that the Festival involved the League. His chance to win a new life for his sister as well as himself was underway.

IceFyr1928 June 29th, 2013 11:36 AM

Derek Stonemason - Goldenrod City > Mahogany town




Derek looked up as the portly bus driver announced that the trainers currently on the bus were all a part of the Jhoto league. He looked around a bit before being drawn back to the bus driver, who turned out to be none other than the legendary Alder, Unova region's champion. People began muttering, mainly excitedly. Derek, however, chuckled as he recognized the deep voice from his PokeGear not ten minutes earlier. This warranted a questioning look from Tetra, but Derek was too caught up in what the Champion was saying. They would be traveling to Mahogany town, as the invitation stated, but they would actually be having the festival inside of the remaining Team Rocket base there. Derek was ecstatic, and he couldn't wait to get going. They were going to meet so many trainers...and crush them all. He patted where his three gargantuan Pokemon lay in their Pokeballs around his waist, and beamed with excitement.

DayMair June 29th, 2013 1:02 PM

Espeon curled up on Tsuya's lap with a yawn and closer her eyes. Her tail still flicked to the same beat. She'd noticed the physic-type Gardevoir come onto the bus, but didnt think much of it.
Skylar sighed and leaned back against her seat. "I've never been to Mahogany Town," she said, looking at Justin. "Have you?"

Sheraku June 29th, 2013 1:29 PM

Tabris- A Bus Full of League Trainers Part 1

Sneasel removed her gaze from out the window toward Alder for a moment and snorted, then turned her focus to the boy and his Gardivoir. Seeing that the Espeon had moved from her spot and was comforatbly hogging her companion's attention. While knowing that the bus was truly safe for Pokemon she lept down from her seat and progressed over to the two. She didn't like psychic type Pokemon, but staired at the Gardevoir's gloves, hat, and especially the black eye liner, to Snease this made her look more dark, and she rather enjoyed it. Snease then motioned to her scarf, which was still up like a hood. "Sehs. Sneasel." She complimented the Gardevoir on her human outfit. Snease could also sense that this Pokemon's trainer in particular was of a seemingly different level from the rest, and glared at him suspiciously.

Tabris thought a moment on scoulding his Pokemon, but as long as she wasn't causing trouble she seemed to be fine. Closing his eyes listening to his sister press on, singing softly as an Espeon would, he figured a nap would pass a majority of the time it would take to get to Mahogany Town.

ElBurrito June 29th, 2013 1:49 PM

Bus Ride - Part 4

"Nope, I've never made it this far into Johto" Justin said closing his pack and looking up at Skylar, "Honestly, Goldenrod is the farthest I've ever been from Cherrygrove".

Absol finally woke up and looked around. "Sol?" Absol said as it tilted its head when it saw the human-like Gardevoir. The bus hit a bump causing Absol to lose it's balance and stumble. Growling, Absol sat back down and stared at the window.

Justin looked down at Absol then back to Skylar, "Although Mahogany has interested me, seeing as how it has an old criminal base and it's near the Lake of Rage".

DayMair June 29th, 2013 2:43 PM

Espeon jolted at the bump, almost flying out of Tsuya's lap. Her ear twitched in annoyance; she'd been sleeping peacefully until then. But soon she was over it, and began resting once more.

Skylar bit back a smile as Absol stumbled at the bump. She looked back up at Justin. "I've been in Goldenrod..." she paused and coughed, "...as long as I can remember. I pretty much grew up on my own, so I didn't travel much." She shrugged and looked out the window. "I've heard many legends about the Lake of Rage though. Hopefully we'll still be able to see it."
She didn't know why she was talking so much to this boy. Heck, she barely even knew him. But it felt...nice. Nice to finally be able to talk to someone. She had lived alone for a long time, and before then, her protective grandparents hardly ever let her see the light of day. She never really had any friends. But now that she was around people just like her, she finally felt accepted.

IceFyr1928 June 30th, 2013 8:02 AM

Derek Stonemason - Goldenrod City > Mahogany Town




Tetra glanced down as she noticed the Sneasel at her feet, and grinned at the compliment. She knew from experience that the species had an uneven disposition towards psychic Pokemon, which made this act slightly surprising. Still smiling, Tetra replied, Why thank you, little one. You too look quite nice. The green really compliments your eyes. She ruffled the small weasel Pokemon's head, and sat back up.

Derek was slightly sidetracked as he realized that he had forgotten to tell his mom that he was going to be gone for what might be an entire day. He quickly flipped open his PokeGear, not even noticing the glare he warranted from the small Sneasel on the far side of Tetra. Opening the first quick dial on his list of contacts, Derek held the phone up to his ear, waiting for it to connect him. After a few rings, an annoying computerized voice told him that the number was unavailable. He tried a few more times, with similar results.

"Don't worry, we've contacted your family. They know where you are, and that you will be perfectly safe." said Alder, who had noticed Derek's distress. The champion clapped a heavy hand on Derek's shoulder and added, "Now smile and be happy! You're off to the Johto League!"

Nate June 30th, 2013 8:22 AM

Yuki - The base

The bus swerved onto the street just next to the daycare, and Alder then opened a hole in the bottom of the bus. He then instructed everyone to go down the hole one by one to avoid anyone getting suspicious. As everyone entered the base the view was amazing.

The place looked more like a party room than anything, and was about 20 metres below the earth, therefore moderately loud sounds couldn't be heard from above. It was large and slightly domed, and decorated with banners of pink and green from all around. In the centre was a large rounded table with plenty of food and refreshments on offer, and to the right was a large double door.

"Right guys, the rules! No battling in this room, pokémon taller than the average male hight plus 50cm please contain in pokéballs in this room, however I doubt any of you will have pokémon that tall... Unless you have a wailord." He laughed but no-one laughed with him.

"Ah right. the room to the right is the battle room but we'll save that untill later. Also through there are your bunks, as you'll stay here for the night. Any of you who were not aware of this, like I said earlier to one young man, your families have been told and are happy for this. Along side these rules, please do not make too much noise, wouldn't want the pokémon in the daycare being disturbed now would we." With that he dismissed everyone to go and do there own thing whilst he catted to several people who had entered the room, one of them being the previous gym leader of this city whitney, who was apparently one of the combatants in this league.

Yuki and his mother both went to view the bunks. Every room had 4 bunks, and there were 48 bunks in total making 12 rooms altogether. i guess they thought more people were coming with family. Yuki and is mother nabbed the room closest to the battle room meaning less walking to the main room, and Yuki secretly hoped no-one else would join them. The rooms were quite luxurious, and spacious, and weren't actually bunks. In each room there were four, white sheeted memory foam beds with two beds at one end and two at the other. Both pairs of beds that were on opposite sides from each other were both equidistant from each other, and all the wardrobes and storage units were all symmetrically placed. It was perfect.

Yuki lay on the comfortable bed with his bag on the bed next to him ready for tonight's show.

Sheraku June 30th, 2013 8:23 AM

Tabris- The Base of the Festival

With a confused expression that lasted only a moment, Snease tilted her head to the Gardevoir. The Pokemon had replied kindly, but had even more of a human's way of doing so. Pulling back her hood, to fully reveil her complimented green feather Snease blushed a little as Gardevoir ruffled her head. She was caught off guard by the psychic Pokemon's human like actions, so she was making more than just a fashion statement with her outfit. She then had to question the stranger Gardevoir. "Why do you act like a human?" Of course the question was in Poketalk, and she asked while heading off the bus, and down the hole looking back to be sure that her Trainer was close behind.

The bump awhile back had snapped Tabris from his sleep so he was fully prepared to head down to where the festival would be held. "Tsuya, c'mon it's time to get off the bus. Give the girl her Espeon back." He told his sister who promptly did so waving her temporary good bye to the purple Pokemon and it's trainer as she closely followed her brother into the large open room of the Festival. Alder had explained the lay out of the base, and advised against immediate battles.

ElBurrito June 30th, 2013 11:03 AM

The Base - Part 1

"Alright, looks like we're here." Justin stood up, threw his bag over his shoulder and motioned for Absol to get up and follow him. The two walked down the aisle and went down the hole. Absol wandered off to look around as Justin leaned up against a wall, looking at all the trainers and their pokemon.

He stood there listening to Alder talk about the rules then pushed off the wall and began walking. He snapped his fingers and Absol came running out of the crowd and looked up at him. "Comon, let's go find a room." The two walked around for a few minutes when Justin stopped and motioned to a room far from the battle room. "This should be good, it's further away from the battlefield so less likely that people will pick it."

As they walked into the room, Justin slid his backpack off his shoulder and tossed it onto a bed. "Pretty nice place, you think the others will like this?" He turned to Absol who nodded in agreement. "I thought so too. Come on out guys!" Justin released his 3 other pokemon, who were happy to finally get some fresh air. Haunter found a dark corner and flew to it, spoink decided to start bouncing on the bed, and marowak leaned up against a wall and fell asleep. "Looks like you were right Absol", Justin said laying down on the bed, "Let me know when things start getting interesting" He put his cap on and slid it down over his eyes.

DayMair June 30th, 2013 12:43 PM

Skylar waved to the little girl that had finally released her Espeon as she got off the bus. With the purple Pokemon in her arms, Skylar herself got off the bus and looked around the huge area that she would be staying in. "Well, I guess we should find a room," she said, looking down at Espeon. Her Pokemon nodded in agreement, and they looked around curiously. Skylar noticed a room about 4 places away from the battle area that hadn't been claimed yet, and briskly walked over. Her mouth dropped in awe at the sheer elegance of the room. It was luxury to her.
She set down her bag on one of the beds, and pulled out her pokeballs. "C'mon out guys!" she tossed the balls into the air, and one by one Squirtle, Riolu, and Flygon all appeared. "Take a look around, but don't go outside of the room. Okay?"
Her four Pokemon yelped in agreement and went about exploring. Skylar sat on the bed, and wondered if anyone would room with her. I wouldn't mind, really, she thought as she watched her Pokemon play. Flygon looked happiest of all.
