A Yanma... that was a bug and flying type as well, which meaned this was bound to be a pretty evened out match. Not only that, Yanma was almost as fast as Able. Able wasn't aware that her Yanma could possibly keep up with her though after a little while. Able had Speed Boost handy as well. This was going to be an interesting battle for sure.

"Alright then. Let's start of simple then. Able, use Slash!" Mark said. Able flew straight toward Yanma at her usual blinding speed and attempted to slice Yanma with her claws. For once Able was listening to Mark... usually she would go off and do her own thing whenever Mark told her to do something she didn't like. Maybe he was just lucky and it turned out that Slash was the move that Able was going to use anyways. If that was the case, Mark had best brace himself, because when Able didn't like something, she'd outright scream it out into his face.

Holly looked up at Haru and opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Kayla. "I'm sure that there are much more romantic things to do than eat!" Holly looked down at the ground again and started blushing. Molly looked at Kayla and laughed a little. "Molly agrees with me!" Kayla looked at Holly, and then at Haru. I think I have an idea... She walked away from the two of them, giggling. "I'm leaving the two of you lovebirds alone! Don't do anything while I'm gone~" Holly started blushing again. She watched as Primrose ran off with Kayla and looked at the ground. "Um..."

George Edmunds

George peered at the tentatively offered Pokegear.
".....Looks to me as if we're meeting the teacher in a classroom...." George swung around and pointed at one of the many wings of the school, "...Over there! Lets go! We're already late!" He started to walk off keeping an eye on the other student he had left standing there. He slowed his pace as he realised the other was not following.

Andrew Thomas

The boy left and the class seemed to give a sigh of relief in unison. Andrew knew he should probably question the boy but decided that he really would rather not. Now he had a class of students that at least showed a little respect and some even seemed keen to learn.
"Honestly, 'I dont need to learn! I have a Pokedex,' What a terrible attitude....Its like saying, 'I dont need to learn! I have the internet," Andrew realised he was staring at the door as he thought and quickly snapped out of it. He slid off the edge of his desk and gestured for everyone to stand.
"Bring your stuff we'll move outside and continue the lesson there. I'll be taking you through the theory of evolution. Before anyone says anything No this isnt JUST what your pokemon do when they become more experienced. There's a slower version as well that tells us how all these different types got here! Oh and if you spot some interesting pokemon then tell me and I'll explain some of their unique physiology!" He lead the rabble from the class and sat them all down at the tree line before continuing with his lesson.

Tristen S, Raikou Dorm
[Battlefield #6]

The flurry of stars thrown by Skarmory's Swift had subsided and Drew's Embee lay fainted on the battlefield. Tristen let out the breath she had been unconsciously holding with a barely audible sigh. She had to admit that the Umbreon had been very persistent and had managed to make her tense up several times during the battle--but it was over now.

Her red eyes now directed themselves to look at Drew; he returned his last pokemon to its pokeball, muttered something, and looked up to give her a weak smile. For a moment, they simply looked at each other across the field--Tristen's expression was unreadable and almost cold. Her pokemon had relaxed their positions and were now approaching her. Without saying a word, the white-haired girl walked right past her pokemon (who looked at her with confused expressions and began following her a few moments later) and headed directly towards Drew.

She stopped in front of the brown-haired boy, standing a few inches shorter than him. For a few seconds she didn't say anything. Finally, Tristen brought up her left hand, and in it was a small contorted brown root--before she had left Hoenn to come to the PTA, Tristen had been traveling in the mountains and found it while she was looking for berries.

She grabbed Drew's hand and placed it in his palm. "It's an Energy Root; it's smaller than normal, so it won't be as potent." Tristen spoke with a calm expression and didn't show any particular emotion on her face. She held up her other hand to offer a handshake. "It was a good match; I hope to battle you again sometime."

Detect... First time Mark has his own tactic used against him. Snype usually opened up with Detect but it looked like this Yanma had the same idea. Able wasn't too happy about it either, especially since Yanma was taunting it. Able let off a loud buzz toward Yanma angrily She wasn't going to let this thing do her in. Both of their speed began to increase as the battle continued. At this rate, Mark would have assumed they were both invisible.

"Able! Use Double Team!" Mark said. Able obeyed again. Maybe she had grown more fond of Mark. It brought Mark's own morale up at least. Able stated to fly circles around Yanma, giving off a loud buzz every so often to taunt it. It moved so fast that several illusions of herself were surrounding it.

Lucia Francisco Bernavard​

Lucia nodded and got to her side of the field and Roberto walked up and planted himself on the ground. He kept calm even though he knew that his opponent could very well beat him quickly. He was not going down easily and he would make sure to at least damage Leah as much as possible. He was Red Legion! He would not whimper or beg for mercy. He would go down doing his all! Still, Lucia had Samuel so that when he did fall at least the Absol would be enough to protect her.

As Ms. Sandoval allowed her to attack first Lucia paused and thought carefully of what attack Roberto could use. The Scizor remained silent as his trainer thought over her options. Lucia smirked. "Alright! Roberto! Go in with attack mechanic two and followup with defense mechanic two!" She shouted out.

The Scizor didn't miss a bit as he suddenly flew forward and his wings glowed a bright white and were spread out wide for his Steel Wing attack. Once he would hit he would use Protect directly after and could even push his advantage with another attack! Lucia knew it would only be a matter of time before Ms. Sandoval caught on as to what attacks were affiliated with which code names but she would press her advantage early on and get in some quick hits.

Jimmy Vincent & Alice Crenshaw
Adademy Hallways​

Jimmy was making his way to the cafeteria, obviously not in a good mood, followed by Alice, who looked happy. And seeing her rebellious-looking classmate looking so ticked off made her want to share some of that happiness. After all, she seemed to have enough joy to spare.

"Hey, cheer up alright?" she said, "I know you're upset, and that probably this class didn't help, but I feel today's gonna be a way better da-"

She was suddenly cut off when someone accidentally bumped into Jimmy, and told him to watch where he was going. This did not help the boy's temper at all, and he was about to get aggressive when he felt Kaida's arms wrap around his body and immobilizing him. Alice opened her eyes wide, having recognised the person as Jimmy's friend.

"Hey! You watch where you're-"

"Shh! Jimmy!" Alice interrupted him, "Calm down, please, it's that friend of yours...Rosalyn!"

"...Whatever." he muttered.

Kaida really wanted Jimmy to calm down. She immediately recognised the blonde girl who she considered her mother...sort of. And she didn't want her and Jimmy to get into a huge fight, because, well, she loved them both a whole lot.

Kim and Kira
"You say the beach?" Kira thought for a moment, "I bet if we go deep into the ocean we will find a Chinchou! I've always wanted one ya know, they are so cute and shiny, some even can absorb electric attacks!" She was jumping with excitement, "How many pokemon have you caught? Are those your only two?" She pointed to Lulu and pikachu, "I'm not sure if that pikachu can actually swim can he," She paused an thought for a moment "wait can you swim at all? Like have you ever gone diving?"

Teal Wright
When they woke up while eating breakfast Teal was ready to catch his second pokemon, he figured a fire type would be a great addition to his team and he remember seeing a Ponyta earlier

Okay so all I have that fire types are weak to is dig, I doubt I can just use that alone. "Hey Seth, I'd like to go for a Ponyta, I'll need to use your shuppet's confuse ray or hypnosis. Vel doesn't have much on the offensive side, but if you can confuse it or put it to sleep so I can use one direct, successful dig I should be able to catch it."

He nodded, "So you want me to just keep it in one spot? Then sleep would be better." He looked at Shadow and seemed to be in agreement with it on something, "We can do that easily." They both stood up and stepped out of the tent, Shadow flew up, looked around, after a few moments Seth motioned for Teal to follow "Shadow found one nearby."

As they got closer to where the ponyta Seth dived down and pulled Teal with him, "Get down, you don't want to scare it off do you?"

"Hm, I didn't think about that, so are you going to start off putting it to sleep?" He shook his head.

"Just putting it to sleep wouldn't do enough damage even if you got a direct hit with dig." He thought for a moment, "If you use headbutt on it, then use Double Team, and finally have the real Vel run into the forest and use dig, you should be able to confuse it enough to get a hit with one dig. Then Shadow will use hypnosis and you can get a second hit." Teal nodded, catching pokemon was still fairly new to him, his first pokemon was already pretty tame.

"Cool, lets get started then." Teal looked at Vel, "Charge at full speed and use headbutt!" Vel went right into action, running full speed at the ponyta. She got a direct hit, but it wasn't even enough to knock the ponyta off its feet. The ponyta reared up to slam its hooves onto Vel "Vel, quick use double team!" Vel did exactly that. The ponyta hit a copy, "Vel into the forest and use dig!"

Seth watched patiently, he seemed to be enjoying the fight and nodded when things were done right. The ponyta spent a lot of time slamming its hooves against clones and right before it hit the last one Vel came from underground. The attack was a direct hit, this time knocking the ponyta onto its side. It quickly stood back up, though it was tired and injured. Seth looked at Shadow and nodded, Shadow used hypnosis on the ponyta.

Teal was glad that this time the fight was going the way they planned, he also felt proud that Vel did exactly as he instructed. The ponyta fought to stay awake but eventually succumbed to sleep, "Okay Vel use dig one last time."

Seth held his hand out, "Wait a moment Teal, the ponyta wasn't as strong as I anticipated, that dig did enough damage. You should be able to catch it while it is sleeping." Teal nodded and pulled out a pokeball, "Is that all you have? A regular pokeball?"

"I never got to go to a mart anywhere nearby, this was found by Vel earlier, I think it should work though." Teal prepped the ball and tossed it, he waited for a few seconds "Come on, catch the pokemon!" His heart began to race and suddenly... a click, he had caught the ponyta. "Did you see that! I finally got a pokemon!" He cheered a bit then let Vel run up his arm. "What should I name it?" He thought for a moment, "Lets see if it is a boy or girl first actually. He let it out of its pokeball and pulled out his pokedex.
he looked at some of the basic stuff and skipped to moves.
Ponyta (Female)
Type: Fire
Flame Wheel, Flame Charge, Stomp, Tackle
"It says here that it can learn solarbeam from a TM, do you know if they sell that?"

Seth thought for a moment, "I don't think so, but lets get back to campus, both our pokemon need to get to a pokecenter."

Teal smiled widely, "There's no need for that, I have plenty of first aid, potions, and such for them. They'll be right as rain." He pulled out his backpack and rummaged through his belongings, he pulled out 2 potions and some water bottles. "I also have some chesto berries, they should wake up both of our pokemon." He pulled out the chesto berries and some oran berries for Vel. Sure enough both Seth and Teal's pokemon were perfectly fine.

"You see I always volunteered at the city hospital, and since they didn't have a pokecenter pokemon and humans were treated at the exact same building. I learned a lot about healing and mending, though not much fighting." Seth nodded, "So can you read minds or something?"

"Well, I can communicate with ghost Pokemon for the most part, but I can read the general feelings of people. I figure out what they might be thinking from there." He pointed at Shadow, "I met him on Mt. Pyre, after a pretty tragic death of my friend."

Teal laughed heartily, "My past is a bit tragic but I doubt I have any predictable abilities, or any abilities at all for that matter." He looked up at the sky, "I think we should head back to campus, my white clothes are all dirty again." He checked out his clothes which were indeed filthy, "Vel's fur hasn't been cleaned for weeks huh." He stroked Vel's head and put ponyta back in her ball."

They both walked back to campus, each telling each others history.

"Wow, thanks." Seth said as Teal healed his Pokemon. "Well, let's get going then." Seth said once he had collapsed the tent.

They went back down the mountain and soon found themselves overlooking the academy grounds. "Aight, be seein you around!" Seth said to the trainer/medic.

Cool guy...

Yeh, he's not so helpful in the face of danger though... Hehehehehe...

Be nice! He healed you for me!

Yippee, nothing I couldn't have survived...

It's the thought that counts!

So, why'd you ruin our secret?

What, the mental connection? Not much of a secret...

I don't trust him. Or his Pokemon.

You don't really trust anyone but me... Been like that since day one.

Exactly...

Well, I'm gonna look around. Maybe find that tm shop that I've been hearing about.

Whatever...

With the conversation over, Seth asked a random student where he could find the tm shop, and she have him the directions to Oak Town. Seth soon came to the bustling metropolis.

Larger than I thought...

Yep...

Seth soon located the TM shop by its flashy sign. Entering, he saw a short old man sitting on a stool.

"Hello! Looking for a TM?"

Yeah, why else would I walk into a TM store?!? "Yeah, you got Fire Blast?"

"Sorry son, I've only got every TM in existence! What do you mean do I have it?!?"

This man was starting to get on his nerves. "How much?"

"1,500 my friend!"

Im no friend of your's... "Here."

"Thanks for your time! See you again!"

Old man, if I see you again, I will teach you to respect those that can break you in two... With the help of Shadow, of course...

And I suddenly am not connected to your mind? I heard everything you said in there about that guy...

Duh, you're kinda not goin anywhere.

That's right my friend! A perfect imitation of the shopkeeper.

Don't ever think about doing that again...

Hehehehehehehe...

Seth walked back to the field, he and his Pokemon had some training to do.

Able was just getting more and more irritated, especially now that one of her own moves were being used against her. There were several illusions of each of the Pokemon flying around the battlefield. It even confused Mark to the point where he couldn't even find Able. Well, Able at least had a move to deal with evasive Pokemon like Yanma... the only thing is that it'd take an extra turn to pull off and he wasn't sure if that would even be worth the time it would take to prepare.

"Able! Use..." Before Mark could give out the command, Able began to give off a loud cry continuously. Not again... she was angry, and not just a Yanma. If things didn't go her way, Able would begin to get independent and start doing her own thing.

"Able! Comon stop it! Use..." Able glared at Mark and flew over to his face using screech. The loud noise would effect the other Pokemon sure but Mark's ears would be ringing for quite some time. Mark covered hiis ears as Able was supposedly "yelling" at him.

"Don't tell me what to do! Whatever plan you have it isn't working! You sit back right there and I'll do all of the hard thinking here you amateur!" Able said, roughly translated.

Rosalyn looked up when she heard the person she had bumped into snap out of her. Looking up she saw Jimmy with Kaida keeping him from moving, and Alice next to him and her eyes went wide. She was surprised it was Jimmy she had run into, and as a blush covered her face her anger faded away.

"J-Jimmy...I-I'm sorry" she stuttered looking down again as her blush deepened. "I w-was just so mad and wasn't watching where I was going, I...I don't get angry to often" she said before hugging her best friend Crush for a minute before letting go and saying hello to Alice before sighing.

"I just..." she sighed more. "ran into someone earlier...who I don't want to be here" she said softly looking back at Jimmy as Belle let herself out of her Pokeball and flew in a circle happily around the three teens.

"N-no we can't swim" I said with a small frown on my face. Lulu chuckled slightly when she heard I couldn't swim and Pikachu slightly shocked her. I looked at my feet and sighed before I heard her ask me if Lulu and Pikachu were the only pokemon I have.

"Yes Lulu and Pikachu are the only two Pokemon I have and I was probably going to catch one at the beach today. By the way are Amy and Canta the only Pokemon you have and which dorm are you in?" I said starting to gain a little bit of confidence in myself the more I talked to her. My green eyes were fixed on her face and a slight gust of wind blew my hair slightly to the left and I smiled. My green and black vest was covering part of my white undershirt. I looked at the ground and saw my green and black pants then looked at Kira with a sweet smile on my face.

Mark couldn't even hear whatever Nika told Yanma to do. Able was screeching right into his ears. Whatever Yanma was doing, it was making an extremely loud sound as well! Mark swore he was going to go deaf after this! Though Super Sonic didn't work on Able. The sound couldn't be heard to well over her own screeching and it wasn't too accurate to begin with what with Double Team. but still, able took it as a challange.

"You think your louder then me?! Comon! THIS is how you screech!" Able said as she used screech again, this time toward Yanma. This was not going to end well...
