I guess premade characters? I mean, I'm getting the gist of it but there may still be some that makes me scratch my head and go Psyduck-like.

Confuzzled. Maybe premade character might give an idea how it works? Better concept than circling around. I don't like making lots of mistakes or Sniper will have my head. jk. haha.

Skype? It depends, really, whether I am available. My time is different as in you're more online when it's morning here. As in, 1am-5am? Here in my place. ;_; If you need to know time here, it's GMT+8.

Writing for Week of September 20th


They had lost.
And the fighting had begun.

Langley was angry at Muay for getting thrown in jail and missing training. Muay blamed Langley for their loss because she insisted on leading. Langley redirected that blame to Eira for letting her lead. Eira was trying her hardest not to let her emotions show, but she had failed. Failed her friends, failed herself. Why did she think she wanted to be back in this world? She didn't know what she was doing; she'd never coached, never had to think strategically on her feet. Leaving her team members screaming at each other in front of the gym, she walked without thinking, without any aim. Just walked.

"Hey."

She was so useless, just like he had told her she was. Just like she'd always be.

"Yo, coach girl."

Always thinking of herself. Always trying to do things her way. Just hindering the team...

She ran headfirst into a solid body mass.

"Hey. Been try'na talk to ya." A Krokorok wearing some sharp shades grinned down at her as she apologized profusely. "'ey, none of that. Ya got a lot on ya mind, it's all good. Saw that match; y'all fought like hell. Pretty cool moves ya had, too."

"Oh... I didn't think they let people watch gym matches...?"

He waved a hand. "Well, ya know."

She didn't.

"Anyway, I never seen that kinda thing in battle before. I'm intrigued. Count me in for ya team."

"Uh?" Just like that?

"Some advice, though- I been watchin' that gym for a while. Only seen one team win against the ones you battled. Guess what? It ain't worth it. The only prize is a tough match and a braggin' point. And you got enough of a gimmick to recruit more people with that dancing- you don't need anything else."

He grinned toothily. He couldn't do so any other way, really. "This day next week. Try again. I'll see ya then."

He walked off into the night, leaving Eira a bit shellshocked.

Actions for Week of September 27


+ Trained Baryon; +5 lvs (Sandile, lv 10)

Coach Event: Novice Recruitment Fair

Advertisements for a fair of modest size have begun popping up around Valoran City, the definitive center of activity in the coaching world. The premise is quite simple - it was to be a little recruitment fair to help novice coaches find new team members. Coaches would battle each other in an attempt to impress people looking to join a team. A few arenas had already been reserved for the day of the event - there even promised to be snack booths of moderately reasonable pricing!

Fairs like this popped up every now and again for coaches of varying levels of experience and it was a neat little opportunity for those just starting out.

The mechanics of this event are simple. Everyone will battle each other round robin, best two out of three, and PM or Skype the results to me. The Set Level is 20 and matches will be 3v3. Pokemon below level twenty will be raised to level twenty and unlock their level twenty movesets/evolutions for this event only. All items except Mega Stones, no duplicates. Any IVs and EVs. You receive a point for each person you defeat. Points will be redeemable towards a free Recruit action. If you get many points, you'll be able to earn better recruits! Actual reward values will be posted when the number of participants has been determined.

Confirmed Participants

Capoeirah (Anna), Ezreal (Grimm), Mewana (Bacteriophage), Mock (Foxrally), Morgana (Hopeless Masquerade), Quinn (ForeverBurning), Reginald (「sarcasm), Sub_023.r2, (Mimi) ??? (Sopheria),

Name: Mock
Species: Muk
Role: Coach/Missionary

A result of BadrTech's early unsolicited experiments on Pokémon. Mock is one of the most 'intelligent' Pokémon on Badr to date, having the ability to (relatively) comprehend written language, and write - though his mental capacities stop there. With the spelling of a dyslexic five-year-old, and the attitude of one, Mock is pompous, arrogant, obnoxious and awfully degrading to any Pokémon who doesn't share the same 'abilities' as him. Being a lover of the arts and an amateur author, Mock prides himself in the intellect he has gained through turning the pages of books. He is honest and speaks his mind - and his mind a very filthy place.

He has been sent to Ceriah by the Badr authorities as a social experiment to see how formerly wild Pokémon can interact and adapt to the culture of a more modern society. His current method of transport is a large hamster-ball-like plastic sphere, filled with water, which he manually controls to roll around. A built-in keyboard and speaker allow him to release his harmonious 'words of wisdom' onto unfortunate listeners. The sphere also contains two retractable metal arms, as well as a computer chip near the speaker which acts as an antenna and a storage device for his allocated Porygon, which he has not named yet.

The Valoran arena complex was swarming as always with coaches from various reaches of Ceriah, a precious small few of them here for something so trivial as a recruitment fair for beginners. A decent little crowd, mostly first forms considering joining a team, was gathered to watch the event in the stands behind the safety of reinforced Cerian plexiglass. Little chrome video recorders were quietly watching the contestants, but currently the screens only displayed commercials for various Cerian products.

As the matches began and the screens switched their focus to the contestants, the audience locked their eyes on the arena and chewed their snacks.

The Recruitment Fair has begun!

First Gym


It had been a task in itself to get Muay and Langley to swallow their pride and battle the standard tier team, but Baryon had been right. There was really no point in battling the higher tier team; the gym leader had confirmed it for them. Baryon watched the two run through Kriketune and Swoobat without too much trouble, though Muay did go down. Such was the relief after their first win that it was done that Muay and Langley even admitted Capoeirah's choice was the correct one. Baryon sent them off to his apartment ahead of him, telling them to rest up and eat whatever he had.

Eira was reading the news when the door slammed open and Baryon waltzed in. “Was partyin’ with the family,” he explained, despite nobody asking. “Got some hot info, coach girl. Gonna be a tourney soon. Low-level stuff, you know. Y’all are in the right range for that. Good exposure for you, too. Might get another member out of it.”

Baryon slapped a flyer down in front of her and watched as Eira blinked at it. “That… sounds interesting. It says teams of three- would you be with us for it?”

He laughed. “Nah, nah, I’m a little overpowered for that stuff. Got someone that’ll run with ya though. He’s-- ah, there he is.”

The door Baryon hadn’t bothered to close filled with the bulk of a Vigoroth. “BARYON!” he roared, “You gave me the wrong unit number. Again.”

Baryon lifted his arms, clearly expressing the sentiment of ‘what you gonna do about it?’ “You could actually bother to learn where I live someday, ya know.”

The Vigoroth dismissed that idea with an offhand wave. “So where’s this coach?”

“Right here.”

“What, the Buneary?”

“Excuse me; my name is Capoeirah,” she responded coldly.

“Ah- sorry, sorry. My bad. I’m Visi. Uh. I didn’t expect such a… small… coach.”

“My size is irrelevant.”

Visi put up his hands in surrender. “Yeah, yeah, that’s fair. Sorry. Anyway. I haven’t found a team to run with for this tourney yet, and Baryon told me you were lookin’ for a third. I’ve been in a bunch of tourneys, just haven’t found the right team to stay with yet. Think of it as a trial run for me, with you. All right?”

As brash as the man was, he looked like a brawler. Eira knew her team was shaping up to be fairly physically focused, but recruiting was not easy and she’d take what she could get.

“I’ll have you for the tourney, Visi. We’ll see how you fit with us after that.”

Scenes from the Tourney


“You know, Beedrill are much less terrifying than I have been lead to believe.”
“You ain’t met many of them yet, coach girl.”

--- vs Sub_023.r2 (Mimi)

“We have got to set up a better counter to Fletchinders. That guy nearly melted my claws off.”
“Wouldn’tve happened if you were faster, steel girl.”
“Baryon, I am made of steel. I am not ever going to be as fast as a bird!”

--- vs Reginald (sarcasm)

“Think I might’ve messed up my hands punching that Chansey for twenty minutes.”
“You better not have. We need those.”
“Chill, coach, it was a joke.”

--- vs Mewana (Bac)

“Damn- Muay- no-”
“He’s right. There. Langley, I could get him from here, I swear, stop holding onto me-”
“You’re going to get us disqualified, you ass!”
“The hell you two doin’?”
“I fought with that guy over there a few weeks ago.”
“He kicked ya ass, didn’t he?”
“He totally did.”
“Langley!”
“Hah. Chin up, monkey boy, we’re fighting them next. You can get your revenge then.”

--- vs Ezrael (Grimm)

“That Braixen nearly got me. You two were useless against them, too.”
“I can’t change my type! ...Stop laughing at me!”

--- vs Morgana (Lost)

“We were done before we started against that Hitmontop.”
“Y’all gave the rest of the team a hard time, though. It’s all good.”
“I can’t feel my face.”

--- vs Mock (Foxrally)

“I think I’m starting to hate fighting types.”
“Muay, you are a fighting type.”
“I give up. I don’t want to fight a Hitmonlee.”
“Stop laying on the ground, Muay.”
“But Eiiiiiraaaaaaa…”
“Stop it.”

--- vs Quinn (ForeverBurning)

“I’m so happy that Fletchinder wasn’t using any fire moves. We would’ve been done.”
“Can any of us learn a Rock move? That might be helpful down the line...”
“Hey, it’s partyin’ time! Leave the strategizing for later.”

--- vs Natsuko (Cathy)

After the Tourney


They danced throughout. Ever-moving, always graceful. Even the heavy one; even the coach. Light on their toes- bouncing, ducking, dodging, sweeping... dancing to a rhythm no-one else could hear. The Banette danced in time with them as she watched. Playful, energetic, dangerous. Beautiful. Over too quickly.

The Buneary halted as she stepped from the shadows. "Hello- do you need something?"

She pulled a chalk from the pouch around her waist. Dance, she wrote on the concrete beneath them.

"Oh! You liked our style? Thank you. I was raised to battle that way."

Join.

"Really? Well- yes, of course! We're always looking for new team members. What's your name?"

Saque.
