It appeared that Whitney, thanks to her gadgets, realised Alice's "strategy" to try to hold on longer. Alice bit her lip, seeing as Pidge used its wings to make a gust of wind that Jello was unable to dodge. The purple ball-like Pokémon looked like he could endure a couple more attacks, but that would be it. Alice had to make a move, an offensive one. And fast, to see if she was lucky enough to take her opponent down with her. She thought of what move to use, and remembered something that Jello had learned during that brief training session with Roxas; and gave Jello the command in order to stop herself from thinking about the boy.

"Hidden Power, now!"

Jello was beginning to get used to not being able to see a little bit. Not that it actually mattered, as he glew with an orange aura and then released some energy from deep inside of him. The energy was seen as a whole bunch of orange balls flying everywhere, so despite the fact that the oddly colored Solosis was blinded, there was a good chance that his foe would be hit by the attack.

Lucas McGuire - Forest Exit

Lucas laughs as the floating ball begins to nudge him in a playful manner. Lucas smiles at Holly, "Well, I'm typically the same as Kayla then. I'll go wherever the crowd goes" Lucas says with a grin. "And a parade would be pretty fun! We could probably use those Pineco as fireworks" Lucas joked. Heracross flutters beside Holly and begins to make a clicking noise, with it makes a cheesy grin towards Holly. "Aww looks like Heracross, is taking a liking to you also" Lucas added.

Aipom still running by the Tepig's side begins to laugh more. Deciding to pull more pranks on Jasmine, Aipom burrows underground. The monkeys digging kept up to speed with the pigs running, and Aipom began to makes potholes just as Jasmine's feet were about to touch the ground. Eventually Aipom does hear a tripping sound, and falls to the ground and begins to shriek. Suddenly a sleepy, yet disturbed Pokemon begins to walk through Aipom's tunnel. The loud metal footsteps creep closer, as the monkey's laughter got louder and louder.

Lucia Francisco Bernavard - Academy Hallway (Outside Cafeteria)​

Lucia walked along the hallway with Roberto and Samuel, more along talking to herself. "Okay, just need to find the perfect place... somewhere great. Somewhere that screams romance! Oh! I can't wait to see Mark's face!" She giggled to herself. "This will be great!"

Tyro just glanced at Able. "Really? IthoughtyouwouldhavealltheguysoveryoubecauseyouaresoawesomeandIknowthathappenedtoAdrianbecausehewaslikeabadboyorsomethingandgotallthegirlsattheestate."

Diana giggled and did her best to hug back. "Yeah... something amazing. But I'm content with this here." She said happily.

It felt like time had frozen around Mark. A straight blow to the heart. His heart was pounding extremely quickly... Mark was a tad slow at asking her out an all but Selene?! That was the last thing Mark expected... he honestly didn't know how to respond. Mark didn't want to start an ourburst. He cared about Valorie so he would respect her decisions but he still felt broken on the inside. If only he had asked her earlier... but perhaps it wouldn't have mattered...

"..." Mark looked down at his plate frowning, trying to come up with something to say. It hurt to say the least. The girl he had a crush on for the longest time... dating another girl? He honestly couldn't believe it came to that... but he promised himself that he wouldn't make a scene out of it.

"...I...I see...." Mark said simply. He suddenly wasn't hungry anymore. He got up from his chair and gave Valorie an apologetic look. "...s-sorry I... need a bit of time to myself... no hard feelings or anything..." Mark said. He didn't hate Valorie or anything for this. It was her choice. But being the boy that he was, this was probably the usual reaction someone would give after being completely rejected. He called back his Pokemon, keeping Snype out of course and headed outside, sighing.

Able blushed at his comment. "I'm flattered Tyro but I don't think I'd bind myself like that. Still... Adrian does have class... hm..." Able thought about it for a moment... thinking more on mating season. She shook her head though, snapping out of her thoughts. "I mean... hrm. What's this estate like anyways?" Able asked.

Len nodded and cuddled with Diana. "Me too... hehe. I remember when I first met you. Boy you were feisty! You asked me to battle immediately when we first met. Sorry again about hospitalizing you." Len said.

Kayla and Holly

Holly smiled and looked at Heracross. "Hi there! I like you too!" She giggled and looked up at Lucas. "I don't think you'd want to go to one of Kayla's parades, though... She's kind of crazy." Holly glanced towards her cousin and smiled. Molly nudged Lucas and smiled. She floated down to Daisy. "He won't hurt you, Daisy," Molly whispered. Daisy nodded and sighed.

Kayla looked down at Jasmine and giggled. "Aren't you clumsy today?" she sang. Jasmine snorted and frowned when Kayla picked her up. Kayla sighed and reached up to pet Rosemary, who had dozed off on her head. Jasmine looked down at the ground angrily. "I'll find that stupid monkey! If you hear me, be extra careful!" she yelled. Yuri sighed.

Shawn turned to his friends, seeing that they were no worse for the wear. He shook his head, embarrassed that they would want to stay with him, even after what just happened. "If you two still want to come..." he said before turning around to the stairs. Maybe they'll help him find that pokemon after all.

"The pokemon I'm looking for is called Litwick," he explained. "I've seen one or two back home. They look like a floating candle." He was at the base of the staircase when he turned again to the others. "If anything happens up here, I want you two to run. Run as fast as you can and don't look back." With those words, Shawn started up the stairs after that eerie glow he saw earlier.

Daniel watched his Pokémon fooling around the room. "You look like you want to play around. This isn't big enough. What do you say we go explore around the academy?", asked Daniel. Draca jumped up and down, Fira the same. "Let's go then", said Daniel. His Pokémon climbed to his shoulders. Daniel picked up his key and left his room, locking it. They walked down the hallways and down the stairs, arriving at the hall. There was a counter with a lady behind, that was in charge of guarding the keys. Daniel gave his keys to the lady."Room-", said Daniel, but the lady interrupted him."I know the room by its occupier's name", said the lady."Oh. Daniel Drace", said Daniel. The lady nodded and saved the key. Daniel thanked the lady and left the dorm. A lot of Pokémon were playing around the hallways. Fira's eyes glittered. Draca was very scared. Fira noticed her friend was uneasy, and put a paw around her, and patted her head. Draca smiled to Fira. Argo ignored all the Pokémon. Daniel walked along the hallways. There was a commotion outside the cafeteria. Argo saw some Pokémon blowing him a razzberry, and commenting how he looked stupid. Argo glared at them, and snatched Daniel's cap."What the? Argo!", said Daniel, trying to get his cap back. Argo tossed the cap to Draca, that tossed to Fira, that tossed to Argo again. Daniel's pokémon began playing a volleyball game, with his cap, on his head and shoulders! Daniel began searching madly for their pokéballs, trying to discover a way to get his precious cap back.

Lucia Francisco Bernavard - Academy Hallway​

Lucia walked forward a bit more, doing a bit of simple scouting. She really wasn't that familiar with the campus and the doors were no doubt already being locked. Oh well! Mark would have a great idea of where to do it anyways! Lucia turned about and headed back to the cafeteria, but she saw Mark was already coming out. She walked right up to him, "Okay. What date and time? I can do a bit more of scouting in the morning, though it may be close if it's early in the morning."

Tyro smiled. "It'sbigreallyreallybig! It'sthreestoriesandwehaveaswimmingpoolandthetrainingcoursesandthekitchenthatishugeandthetenniscourtsandtheyardsandthetheaterandthebreedingroomandthesaunawhichisalwaysniceand...." The Combusken was just going on and on.

Diana smirked, "Yeah, but I still don't want to lose. I'll win against you one day and I won't go easy on you."

Mark noticed Lucia approach him. She had expected Mark to have been successful in asking her out. Mark gave off an awkward silence and frowned. "...Forget the plans...call them off... s...she said she promised her heart to someone else..." Mark said, clearly upset. Selene wasn't even in the academy anymore as far as he knew... it just left Mark heartbroken. He hung his head down. "...All this time and I didn't even know..." Mark added. The guy really needed a hug.

Able listened to how Tyro explained the estate. Talk about royalty! But one thing caught her ear... "Wait, Breeding room? The heck do you do in a breeding room? Don't tell me its what I think it is..." Able said.

Len chuckled and was about to pull her toward him for another kiss... though he finally heard Tyro's rambling.

"Hey who's watching us over there?" Len called out.

Sammy sat down with a thump on her bed, looking around her new dorm room. It had taken a few hours, but she finally had the place looking the way she wanted it. The memento's from her travels were on the shelves, her Roxie posters were on the walls, her clothes stowed away and... well, that was it really. She travelled light... how had all of this taken her hours?

"It was because you kept distracting me," she muttered wryly as she flopped backwards, lying down with her legs hanging off the end of the bed and her feet still planted on the floor.
"Rrrrr." Growled her Corphish.
"Yeah, rrrrr. You little goober."
"Phi..."

She could hear him scuttling around - the taptaptap of his legs - nudging things with his claws and getting a feel for the place. He had kept giving her thumps when he didn't like how she had placed something. He was more particular than she was, that was for sure, but she couldn't blame him too much. This was the first place they were going to settle in for any real length of time. But as much as she wanted the room to feel like a home she knew she would be spending far more time outside of it than in.

"You still there Cubone?"

She waited for a minute for an answer before swinging herself back up into a seated position, looking around the room. There he was, in the corner behind the door, looking around silently.

"Hey, Cubone. You alright buddy?"
The Lonely Pokemon looked to her slowly. "...Cu."
"...Are you okay? I know this is... weird for you. But I want you to be cool with it."
"Cu..." He held his bone to his chest defensively.
"Look," she started with a smile, "I want you to be cool with it. But you don't have to be. Feel however you feel, but we gotta be honest with each other, okay? If you have a problem I can help you out but only if you let me know first. I'm not a psychic."

There was a moment of silence, uncomfortable for her if not the pokemon. Corphish watched the pair of them openly. Finally Cubone lowered his bone and quickly trotted over to Sammy, wrapping his arms around her calf and hugging it tightly. She laughed and reached down, prying him loose and lifting him up before flopping back down again, holding him in a hug. This little guy deserved every ounce of affection she could give him, and it was nice to see him return it. He'd been through so much she was suprised with how quickly he was bonding with her.

"You're a little cutie when you decide to be."
"Phish!"
"Not you, knucklehead! I'm the good looking one between us."
"Phiiish!"
"You're too cool to be cute Corphish. You know that."
"Cor, corphish."

She laughed again, cuddling Cubone. It felt good to have the same banter with Corphish as always - no matter what changed in their lives or where they went the relationship with her pokemon could be counted on as a constant. And now there was Cubone as well, she just hoped that didn't come back to bite her in the ass. Best not to think about that now.

"Yeah, I thought you'd like that," she said more nonchalantly than she felt inside.

Lucia Francisco Bernavard - Academy Hallway​

Ouch! Just... ouch. Lucia frowned. Well, she had spent all night trying to get him feeling better and here it was ruined. Well, that Valorie girl would have to pay now. You didn't come and f**k with Lucia Francisco Bernavard's friends and expect to get off squeaky clean now! She just looked at him, not really sure if he would be comfortable with a hug. Most guys didn't enjoy being held by a girl especially when vulnerable like this. So instead she put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, let's get out of here okay? How about we go back to my room? I have some stuff that can cheer you up there!" She said with a small smile.

Tyro nodded his head happily. "YeahtheRedLegiongoesthereandbreedsandthere'sanurseryandevolutionstonesand-" He glanced over at Diana and Len and happily jumped up, waving at them. "[COLOR="DarkOrange)"]It'suswe'rejustalkingbehindyourback![/COLOR]" He said innocently.

Diana looked at Len, "I think you should teach those two a lesson!"

Mark smiled and quickly hugged Lucia for a moment. "Sure... I'd like that." Mark said with a depressed tone. He wondered what she meant. She had tried all day to keep Mark happy. What else was there to do? Mark remembered something though.

"We should probobly get our other Pokemon first. I think Len and Diana wandered off... along with Tyro and Able." Mark said. They weren't too far away. He could hear them from a distance.

Able jumped in shock. "W-Wha?! No way! It was Tyro's idea! Yeah! Shame on you Tyro for bringing me along on this!" She said, joking of course.

Len simply sighed. "Alright you two! Comere!" Len said as he used Bubble Beam on both of them. Able was hit by a flurry of bubbles and sent flying out of the bush she was hiding in. Mark of course heard it and walked over to them.

Of course Kilik wouldn't have known. He was somewhere else at that point. In any case, Mana proceeded to answer Kilik's question with more than one answer. One was a Zorua. Mistress would've fit the bill, though she's a Zoroark now. Still... Then again, she would totally ruin everyone's fun with her pranks, & the blame would fall upon Kilik. The life of a trainer.

The Glaceon, Fox, was circling around Kilik's leg, whichever. Seems he was craving attention from him. How odd for someone's Pokemon wanting to be noticed by someone else. It did make Kilik smile, he bent down & petted Fox's fur on his back, stroking slowly. His fur is cold to the touch. While he was petting Fox, Kilik looked up at Mana. She had asked him what he asked her.

Funny. Which Pokemon did Kilik like the most? The only Pokemon that come to mind are those that roam Jhoto & Unova. Of course, he has heard of one Pokemon. Lucario, but that's another story. Perhaps... "One Pokemon that comes to mind," Kilik spoke, looking up at the ceiling, his eyes gleaming with passion, "is Entei."

"I used to live in Olivine City in Jhoto during my early childhood, until I later moved to Castelia City in Unova. It took a while for me to adapt to my new surroundings. My parents got me Oshawott, now a Dewott, who I nicknamed Yaiba. A few years later I got a Zorua, now a Zoroark, who I nicknamed Mistress. She can be a pain in the-" Kilik coughed & cleared his throat. "Anyway, when I was still in Olivine City, I used to read some book about Pokemon, most notably legendaries. I spent my free time with Jasmine. I still remember how much fun I had with her. Um, getting off topic again. During my reading time, I read about Entei. He's powerful, just being in a dorm with the name gives me strength. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but it's enough for me." Kilik didn't know why he was telling this to Mana. Perhaps he wanted to speak to someone he could trust. Maybe...

"Oh, & since you fancy those kinds of Pokemon," Kilik proceeded to summon Tentou. Tentou sniffed the air & realized where he was. Kilik handed him some meat to eat, Tentou starts chewing joyishly with his teeth & paws. The life of a trainer. So many wonders.
