Name: Elijah Colton.
Age: Almost 15.
Apprentice: Pryce.
Starter: Shellder.
Appearance: Elijah has a thin figure, and stands around five foot and six inches with a light tan. He has a set of two dark brown eyes that usually end up covered by dark brown hair that reaches down to his eyelashes and the bottom of his neck. His ensemble is made up of a light blue tee, with grey and black plaid capris that reach between his knee and ankle, and suspenders hanging down, only worn as an accessory. His shoes are hi-top tennis that are a pale blue and black, to match his outfit. Underneath his shirt, he always wears a silver chain his father had given him while he was still young.
Personality: Elijah is not one for meeting new people. He gets shy easily, never really making eye contact. But, once he warms up to a person (which would take some time), he becomes a giant ball of sunshine with a goofy smile.
On the contrary, its hard for Elijah to keep up a conversation. Knowing this, he would much rather be alone so that way he wont make a fool of himself.
In awkward situations, he has a tendency to get angry with whoever is around. He is also quick to assume people don't like him.
History: Born and raised in the tiny Mahogany Town, Elijah is well known, seeing how the town has a very small population.
It was easy for team rocket to take over Mahogany Town. Nobody thought that the secret base was being occupied again, until it was too late. With his father out at sea most of the time, Elijah had no male role model in his life.
One day, while secretly taking a stroll to the towns neighboring lake, he saw an elderly man just sitting down, enjoying the calm breeze, and inhaling the soft scent the dewdrops cast in the morning. Once Elijah realized it was Pryce, he built up all the courage he had, and began talking to him.
Beginning to train regularly at the gym Pryce worked at, his mind and body became more stable. After showing much determination and strength, Pryce began letting Elijah train with his ice typed pokemon. While most of his pokemon were taken by team rocket, two of his Cloysters had had an egg. There was no doubt in Pryces mind when he let Elijah keep the egg.
Reason you were chosen: Pryce had taken an extra liking to Elijah. He sort of took him under his wing, if you must. Training him in the art of pokemon battling and learning how to keep a calm mind, there was no doubt in Pryces mind when he chose Elijah to become an assistant of his.
While some of Pryces training may slip from Elijahs mind from time to time, Pryce has always thought of Elijah as a star pupil.

Quicksand:Alright, Accepted
Luigi-a: Accepted of course, that is ALOT of information :D (oh and I am going to have to post late for your rp since I still don't have internet, and can't keep going to an Internet Cafe.)
Charzeon: Alright then, Accepted
Now that everybody is ready: (excuse me for not making it very actractive, but i just don't have the time for that now, I will fix all of that once I get my internet)
Part 1: (One or Two posts, if you need more than one to do this, be my guest)
You start off at 11:00 meeting your respective gym leaders, and if you need to, discuss something with them. (Battling, any tips, or what you are supposed to do if your character doesn't know yet –briefly tough-.)
By any type of transportation, you and your gymleader, (or other apprentices if you wish to co-post)go to the main safe house near the coast.
At the safe house you meet the leaders of the resistance, Professor Elm, Lance, and Mr.Pokemon
Main Conversations:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You enter a bunker hidden in the sand, which you would normally not have spotted, as you enter you see rooms full with technical equipment and gadgets. Your gymleader takes you into a room where you see other gymleaders and apprentices. You notice three people in the middle of the room, sitting at a desk. From the news, you know them as professor Elm, Lance, and Mr. Pokemon.
Prof. Elm is the first one to stand up. He looks around the room, and speaks loudly.
"You have all come here for a reason," the man let the words sink in. "You have been chosen to represent your very own gym, in a mission to stop the tyranny of team rocket." The professor continues.
"You may already be a top class trainer, or maybe your gym leader has seen potentional in you, it doesn't matter. What matters is that this mission is one that might change history, and I need to know if you are ready. If you decide you can't handle it and need to leave, please do so."
The professor waits, and everybody anxiously looks around.
"Alright then," He continues. "There are nine trainers here in total, eight from Johto, and the last one from a supporting region. It would be for the best if you all worked together, but don't arouse any suspicion. The person you will meet is a team rocket representative called: . He will probably give you your pokeballs like anybody who starts their adventure." The professor steps away, and Lance begins to talk.
"We have an operative working undercover, because of him we have been able to obtain this," Lance takes out a box filled with big R's and badges. "These R's are to adjust your clothing to make it into a uniform, you can ask the people in the next room to stitch them on. There is a chip included which you will have to insert in the pokedex team rocket gives you, for tracking reasons. Finally these badges and ID cards are also for verification. All the information you need, together with some money to get you going is in there. Now your boat leaves in exactly twenty minutes, help yourself." He and the other members leave the room to discuss something, and you are left alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Task:
-You meet your gymleader
-Go to the safe house
-Adjust your clothing with a team rocket sign. (They are in multiple sizes)
-Get the badges, boat tickets, money, and the computer chip.
-Wait at the dock outside the safe house.

Anna stood at the very edge of the beach, her arms crossed as she stared off into the blue water and crashing waves. Above the girl, Zodiac, her Skarmory, flew around in lazy circles. He scanned the coast line with both eyes, looking for prey and any one who might be a threat to both him and his trainer. He then noticed a figure walking towards Anna and quickly lowered himself so that he could get a better look. He recgonized the person and let out a loud, but not all that loud considering how loud he could go, screech.
Anna turned around, not at all wondering at what Zodiac was screeching at. She and the Skarmory had developed a system of sounds so that she knew if she should be worried or not of something coming up behind her. She was briefly surprise to see Jasmine, the ex-gym leader of Olivine, walking towards her. But that quickly went away. She knew that the woman would be coming, she just hadn't expected her to come so soon.
"Hello Jasmine," Anna greeted, whistling for Zodiac to fly down to join them. Once he did, both of them bowed slightly to the steel type gym leader. Jasmine smiled slightly.
"You don't have to do that, you know," Jasmine said. "Actually, you shouldn't. Not in public at least."
"Sorry," Anna said as both she and Zodiac stood up. "So, is it time?"
"Yes, it is," Jasmine said with a sigh. "I'd wish you luck, but then I don't know excatly how much luck you'll need with the mission. I won't lie, I wish we could get people at least a little bit older..."
"You can trust us," Anna said. "Or me, at the very least."
"You confidence is reasuring," Jasmine said, then took out a blind fold. "I hate to do this but...well, you know, Boss' orders. You'll also have to put Zodiac into his pokeball."
Zodiac hissed lowly. He hated the pokeball and alway made sure that he was outside of it. But at the look he got from his trainer, he made no more complaint as she returned him to his pokeball. Anna then turned and let Jasmine tie the blindfold around her eyes. The next thing the trainer knew was that she went into a car and they drove for a while. She then felt hands giding her down into a building. Then her blindfold was taken off and she saw Prof. Elm, Mr. Pokemon and Lance. She stood still as Prof. Elm explained things, then Lance took the equipment out and explained about them. After everyone had left, Anna looked around at the other people gathered.
"Um...hey there," she said. "The name's Anna Silverman."

"Um...hey there," she said. "The name's Anna Silverman."
The wind whistled serenely through the trees as Silvia Crowley stood, staring up at the shrine. Ancient markings showed that of an ancient Pokemon said to protect the forest. Silvia continued to analyze it. Just below his hip level, another set of eyes, or thousands rather, also stared up at the Shrine.
"Don't you just wish they could help us?" Silvia said, sadness in his voice.
The Venonat turned to her trainer, and nodded slightly, her antennae swinging as she did.
"They are only Pokemon, Silvia, they don't always necessarily understand or feel comfortable in our affairs if they are wild. But at this point, we might just need all the help we can get..."
Another two figures emerged from the shaded, mist laden forest. Bugsy and his Scyther came forward smiling.
"Are you ready, Silvia?" inquired Bugsy.
Silvia paused for a few moments, then replied,"Will there be others?"
"At least eight than I can guarantee, plus a few." Bugsy winked. "Anyways, I have a friend coming to get us there. It was the only way I could think to travel so fast, and this way, I don't have to worry about hiding the location of the base."
"Huh?" Silvia turned to face Bugsy again, but saw yet another Trainer and Pokemon combo. A thin, dangerous looking girl with long sleek gray/blue hair stood beside Bugsy, a massive Pokemon beside her, a wild mustache complimenting the two spoons in its hands.
"Hey, how many people are in on this, anyways?" Silvia looked up, a curious look on his calm face.
"Some answers come with time, child." The woman took a step forward. "I'm Sabrina. Please return your pokemon." Silvia looked aprehensively at Sabrina, and then to Bugsy, but decided to follow along.
Then it all went black. Silvia, Scyther, Bugsy, Sabrina and the mysterious, spoon wielding Pokemon fell through an abyss, gaining speed.
That must be an Alakazam. Silvia came to this conclusion as he looked up at the psychic Pokemon and its trainer, floating as the others fell. But then suddenly, Silvia, Bugsy and Scyther weren't falling, they were standing in the center of a fairly large room, with 19 others looking in at them. They turned around to see three men sitting at a desk. Silvia knew immediately that these men were important. One man in a lab coat was easily recognized: Professor Elm!
"Professor." Bugsy nodded to Elm, and then took Silvia to stand amongst the other trainers. They are were silent, each of them guided by another, older trainer.
Upon seeing the confused look on Silvia's face, Bugsy turned and whispered into his ear "the eight Gym Leaders of Johto."
Silvia turned his attention back to the desk. Two other men were talking as Elm wrote frivolously on a pad of paper. One of the talking men was fairly normal, quite old, wearing a tan suit and a matching hat. He rolled a cigar back and forth in his fingers. The man he was speaking to was eccentric, fascinating. He had sleek, dark red hair that stood on end. He wore a cape, and a flashy, matching uniform. The two men continued to talk.
"You probably know who Elm is," continued Bugsy, "But let me fill you in other the others. The older man is Mr. Pokemon. He is an Pokemon Fanatic, aiming to learn whatever he feels about Pokemon. He used to be exitable and jittery, but he's taken a much calmer tone due to recent events. The other man is Lance, the League Champion. He uses Dragon Pokemon. If there was a God among Trainers, it would be him."
Silvia immediately got the idea that Lance was one to be revered, not crossed. At this moment, Elm stood up.
"You have all come here for a reason," the man let the words sink in. "You have been chosen to represent your very own gym, in a mission to stop the tyranny of team rocket." Elm cleared his throat, intent on continuing. The room continued to be silent. "You may already be a top class trainer, or maybe your gym leader has seen potential in you, it doesn't matter. What matters is that this mission is one that might change history, and I need to know if you are ready. If you decide you can't handle it and need to leave, please do so."
No one dared to say a word.
"Alright then," He continued. "There are nine trainers here in total, eight from Johto, and the last one from a supporting region. It would be for the best if you all worked together, but don't arouse any suspicion. The person you will meet is a team rocket representative called: . He will probably give you your pokeballs like anybody who starts their adventure."
The professor fell back to the desk, sinking into his chair and resuming his rapid fire writing. At this, Lance stood up. He took center stage and began to speak.
"We have an operative working undercover, because of him we have been able to obtain this," Lance took out a box filled with big R's and badges. "These R's are to adjust your clothing to make it into a uniform, you can ask the people in the next room to stitch them on. There is a chip included which you will have to insert in the pokedex team rocket gives you, for tracking reasons. Finally these badges and ID cards are also for verification. All the information you need, together with some money to get you going is in there. Now your boat leaves in exactly twenty minutes, help yourself."
Silvia was shocked at how brief this all was. He was expecting a much more lengthy briefing, but tried to keep his cool. The Leaders of the Resistance left the room, the trainers being left alone. No one really moved, so Silvia took the moment to take a leap. He stepped toward the box, taking an R, Microchip, Badge, his ticket, a portion of cash and an ID Card with his picture on it. The others began to follow his example. He turned to a new doorway, the bulkhead now open. A Chansey motioned Silvia forward, sewing needle and thread in hand. In no time, Silvia had the red R sewn to the chest of his Black shirt. The Chansey offered Silvia a cap, but he refused politely, heading as directed out to the docks to await the boat.
"Don't you just wish they could help us?" Silvia said, sadness in his voice.
The Venonat turned to her trainer, and nodded slightly, her antennae swinging as she did.
"They are only Pokemon, Silvia, they don't always necessarily understand or feel comfortable in our affairs if they are wild. But at this point, we might just need all the help we can get..."

Helena was already at the Lavaridge gym training with her new fire-monkey Voldemort. They weren't really doing anything, just hanging around, waiting for the sign that they should move into the Johto region. Voldemort was busy climbing all sorts of equipment used for the training, while Helena was sitting on a balance beam, one of the rarely used pieces of equipment, yet one that Helena excelled in. It figures that the one thing that was seen as useless to everyone was the one thing Helena was exceptional in.
The leader of this gym, Flannery, had insisted that there would be more than the normal punching bag and target-hit equipment to train her Pokémon. The balance beam was perfect for Pokémon such as Chimchar, who are known to love climbing and their balance was excellent. There were monkey-bars too, which was where Voldemort had moved himself to. The work-out room was a square of warm colours, a reddish wood on the floor with laminate that had actually been painted a fiery red on the walls, and Helena loved it.
Footsteps from behind her announced the presence of two people who had just entered the room. Helena span herself gracefully from sitting on the beam facing the far wall, to facing the opposite sight. She was greeted by the smile of her twin brother, Paris, and the worries face of Flannery herself. Paris clapped gingerly, trying to keep it light, but Flannery didn't smile or cheer up.
"It's time, Helena, time to go." So she really wasn't delaying anything, Helena had been waiting for this. Voldemort swung over from the monkey bars and landed on the balance beam without a problem. His big monkey-eyes settled on the leader that he knew so well, and the stranger by his side, and he jumped over his trainer's shoulder to settle himself between her legs, where he felt safe.
"Do you remember what I told you?" Flannery asked Helena, who nodded vigorously.
"I am to pretend to be a wannabe grunt, along with the others from the Johto gyms and whoever else is there, and then I am to challenge their gym-based recruitment-thinger and to help take them out from the inside?" She posed it as a question, and Flannery passed her a smile to show her she was absolutely right.
"Don't take any unnecessary risks, and don't tell anyone about the operation, no matter if they seem trustable. Remember, Helena, they have to believe you."
"I know you can do this, sis, keep in contact." Paris threw her a lilac PokéNav with phone function. It was a bit risky, since few people had these in Johto, and Flannery shot him a doubting look.
"I'll keep it hidden!" Helena said quickly, and Flannery nodded in final approvement. "I can also use to contact you and Paris. And it's useful to keep track of things and also poses as a map." She went on, happy that the Gym Leader would let her keep the gadget. "I'll keep you informed!"
One look at Flannery confirmed that the time really was running out. Helena hugged her brother tight with a promise that she would indeed be careful before returning Voldemort into the special white ball. She then followed Flannery to the roof of the one-story building. Up there was a Charizard, a Pokémon Flannery rarely used because it wasn't entirely tamed yet. But now it seemed to understand the situation was a desperate one, and Helena mounted it. Flannery seated herself behind Helena and whispered a command at the Charizard who flew up immediately toward who knew where.
The ride was long and, most of all, cold. They flew far above the clouds, almost as far as a human could go without fainting of lock of oxygen. The reason for this was to avoid detection, but Helena was convinced she would find frost in her hair afterward. She did check, after they had landed on the coast of some distant island, was it an island? Anyway, she didn't find any frost, but it had probably melted or something. She was convinced of this.
Helena simply followed Flannery over the strand, but she didn't really see the point in it, there wasn't anything there. She was about to ask Flannery if she had been sure about the location, when she noticed the bit of sand that was higher than the rest. A door opened. It was a bunker.
"Nifty…" Helena muttered as she entered a room full of technology. Flannery led her through this room and into another one, which was a good thing because with Helena's clumsiness, the place could have completely exploded if she wasn't careful. Helena was not good with electronics. The new room they entered had more people in it, people that Helena didn't recognize. Except for four people. One was a woman with long dark brown hair she knew to be the ex-Gym Leader Jasmine. She had seen Jasmine on TV sometimes. The others were Professor Elm, Mr. Pokemon and Lance. All three were also from TV, though they had featured more often than Jasmine had.
The older man in the labcoat, Elm, stood up to address them all. "you have all come here for a reason." Pause. Well duuuuh, Helena thought, of course we're here for a reason. She waited for him to start talking again, he did. "You have been chosen to represent your very own gym, in a mission to stop the tyranny of team rocket. You may already be a top class trainer, or maybe your gym leader has seen positional in you, it doesn't matter. What matters is that this mission is one that might change history, and I need to know if you are ready. If you decide you can't handle it and need to leave, please do so."
Helena felt tang of shame at the mention of top class trainers, she definitely wasn't one. Potential? Probably not either, she had no talent for battling. Actually… Why had Flannery chosen her?
"Alright then," He continued. "There are nine trainers here in total, eight from Johto, and the last one from a supporting region. It would be for the best if you all worked together, but don't arouse any suspicion. The person you will meet is a team rocket representative. He will probably give you your pokeballs like anybody who starts their adventure."
The professor now made room for Lance to jump in. "We have an operative working undercover, because of him we have been able to obtain this," Lance took out a box filled with big R's and badges. "These R's are to adjust your clothing to make it into a uniform, you can ask the people in the next room to stitch them on. There is a chip included which you will have to insert in the pokedex team rocket gives you, for tracking reasons. Finally these badges and ID cards are also for verification. All the information you need, together with some money to get you going is in there. Now your boat leaves in exactly twenty minutes, help yourself." That's when the apprentices were left while the rest of them went to discuss matters in another room.
Helena took out a bright red R from the box and wondered what she was going to do with it. After a bit of puzzling she took it to someone who was ready with thread and needle to sow it onto the right side of her blouse, right over the chest, so anyone could see. She also took a spare one just in case she would want to switch clothing or anything. She was a good seamstress, she would do just fine.
Everything else Helena had received got stuffed in the multicoloured bag, all in multiple of the sown-on pockets. Badges in the green one, chip was temporarily discarded in the tiny turquoise one made for carrying small stuff. The ticket and the money both went in the easily accessible zipper-pocket that was made of a red and white plaid pattern that she could easily reach and zip open. Yes, Helena's OCD made her have everything organized and perfect so she could access it immediately.
So, with everything done, and being all ready and informed, she exited the room, being careful not to bump any electronics, and made her way to the docks for the boat. See? Piece of cake, I can do this. They won't see me coming until I'm right in their faces! She thought happily, while whistling the Kill Bill tune, which was bright and cheerful.
The leader of this gym, Flannery, had insisted that there would be more than the normal punching bag and target-hit equipment to train her Pokémon. The balance beam was perfect for Pokémon such as Chimchar, who are known to love climbing and their balance was excellent. There were monkey-bars too, which was where Voldemort had moved himself to. The work-out room was a square of warm colours, a reddish wood on the floor with laminate that had actually been painted a fiery red on the walls, and Helena loved it.
Footsteps from behind her announced the presence of two people who had just entered the room. Helena span herself gracefully from sitting on the beam facing the far wall, to facing the opposite sight. She was greeted by the smile of her twin brother, Paris, and the worries face of Flannery herself. Paris clapped gingerly, trying to keep it light, but Flannery didn't smile or cheer up.
"It's time, Helena, time to go." So she really wasn't delaying anything, Helena had been waiting for this. Voldemort swung over from the monkey bars and landed on the balance beam without a problem. His big monkey-eyes settled on the leader that he knew so well, and the stranger by his side, and he jumped over his trainer's shoulder to settle himself between her legs, where he felt safe.
"Do you remember what I told you?" Flannery asked Helena, who nodded vigorously.
"I am to pretend to be a wannabe grunt, along with the others from the Johto gyms and whoever else is there, and then I am to challenge their gym-based recruitment-thinger and to help take them out from the inside?" She posed it as a question, and Flannery passed her a smile to show her she was absolutely right.
"Don't take any unnecessary risks, and don't tell anyone about the operation, no matter if they seem trustable. Remember, Helena, they have to believe you."
"I know you can do this, sis, keep in contact." Paris threw her a lilac PokéNav with phone function. It was a bit risky, since few people had these in Johto, and Flannery shot him a doubting look.
"I'll keep it hidden!" Helena said quickly, and Flannery nodded in final approvement. "I can also use to contact you and Paris. And it's useful to keep track of things and also poses as a map." She went on, happy that the Gym Leader would let her keep the gadget. "I'll keep you informed!"
One look at Flannery confirmed that the time really was running out. Helena hugged her brother tight with a promise that she would indeed be careful before returning Voldemort into the special white ball. She then followed Flannery to the roof of the one-story building. Up there was a Charizard, a Pokémon Flannery rarely used because it wasn't entirely tamed yet. But now it seemed to understand the situation was a desperate one, and Helena mounted it. Flannery seated herself behind Helena and whispered a command at the Charizard who flew up immediately toward who knew where.
The ride was long and, most of all, cold. They flew far above the clouds, almost as far as a human could go without fainting of lock of oxygen. The reason for this was to avoid detection, but Helena was convinced she would find frost in her hair afterward. She did check, after they had landed on the coast of some distant island, was it an island? Anyway, she didn't find any frost, but it had probably melted or something. She was convinced of this.
Helena simply followed Flannery over the strand, but she didn't really see the point in it, there wasn't anything there. She was about to ask Flannery if she had been sure about the location, when she noticed the bit of sand that was higher than the rest. A door opened. It was a bunker.
"Nifty…" Helena muttered as she entered a room full of technology. Flannery led her through this room and into another one, which was a good thing because with Helena's clumsiness, the place could have completely exploded if she wasn't careful. Helena was not good with electronics. The new room they entered had more people in it, people that Helena didn't recognize. Except for four people.

The sun was shining in all of its glory as Ventus sat outside of Falkner's makeshift gym of sorts, which sat deep in the woods on the outskirts of Violet City. "Today is the day," Ventus thought to himself as he started becoming nervous. It wasn't that long ago since he became Falkner's apprentice, and he was now going on a mission he knew was going to be dangerous. However, he had to do this mission. He had to.
"Those who hurt Pokemon are my enemies, which makes Team Rocket my biggest enemy," he said as he clenched his right fist and punched Falkner's porch. His punch broke through a board, and it caused his Hoothoot to become worried. "Hoo Hoot," he said as he perched himself on his trainer's shoulder. "I know. I know. I have to keep a cool head," said Ventus as he breathed in some air and breathed it out. It was then that Falkner came out and greeted Ventus and Hoothoot. His trusty Pidgeot was by his side.
"Hello Ventus and Hoothoot," said Falkner as he took a Pokeball off his belt. He then threw the ball into the air, which opened and revealed a Staraptor come forth from the light. "I hate being this way," began Falkner as he took out a blindfold, "but I need you to wear this and return Hoothoot to his Pokeball." Ventus quietly returned Hoothoot and hopped on Staraptor's back. It was then he put on the blindfold. "Okay Staraptor, follow Pidgeot and me," said Falkner as Ventus felt himself become engulfed in wind. He was in the air now on a Staraptor's back.
"Wish I could be like the wind. I wish I could go wherever I wanted to and not care about anything," thought Ventus as he felt a tear come to his right eye. The wind was random and unnerving. It did not care where it went, as long as it got there. It would go through every obstacle in order to get to its destination.
Before Ventus knew it, he felt Staraptor stop and touch the ground. He then got off of Staraptor's back while Falkner took off Ventus's blindfold. Ventus quietly followed Falkner into a bunker where he realized he and Falkner were the first amoung the Gym Leaders and apprentices to arrive. Falkner quietly took a seat and looked around as his Staraptor and Pidgeot stood proudly behind him. He looked rather intimidating with his eagle Pokemon standing behind him. Ventus then let out Hoothoot from his Pokeball. Hoothoot was delighted to see Ventus, and he quickly perched himself on Ventus's right shoulder, his favorite spot.
Within several minutes, everyone else arrived. Ventus felt his nervousness go away as he saw the apprentices stand proudly by their respective Gym Leader. He then stood at attention when he heard Professor Elm begin speaking.
"You have all come here for a reason," the man let the words sink in. "You have been chosen to represent your very own gym, in a mission to stop the tyranny of Team Rocket." The professor continues.
"You may already be a top class trainer, or maybe your gym leader has seen potentional in you, it doesn't matter. What matters is that this mission is one that might change history, and I need to know if you are ready. If you decide you can't handle it and need to leave, please do so."
The professor waits, and everybody anxiously looks around. Ventus knew not to say a word. He wanted to battle Team Rocket.
"Alright then," He continues. "There are nine trainers here in total, eight from Johto, and the last one from a supporting region. It would be for the best if you all worked together, but don't arouse any suspicion. The person you will meet is a Team Rocket representative called: Apollo. He will probably give you your Pokeballs like anybody who starts their adventure." The professor steps away, and Lance begins to talk.
"We have an operative working undercover, because of him we have been able to obtain this," Lance takes out a box filled with big R's and badges. "These R's are to adjust your clothing to make it into a uniform, you can ask the people in the next room to stitch them on. There is a chip included which you will have to insert in the pokedex team rocket gives you, for tracking reasons. Finally these badges and ID cards are also for verification. All the information you need, together with some money to get you going is in there. Now your boat leaves in exactly twenty minutes, help yourself."
With that, Professor Elm, Lance, and Mr. Pokemon left the room to discuss some things. Ventus then stood around a bit before he noticed a young man get his stuff and go straight to the boat. Ventus started doing the same, before Falkner stopped him. "Hey, you are going to need this," he said as he threw Ventus a short sleeve black t-shirt and some black silk jeans. There was also a white leather coat that appeared to be very long with it. Falkner then placed some black combat boots by Ventus. "Give 'em hell, Ventus. Give 'em hell," said Falkner as he left the room. Ventus then went and got a big red R and two small R's. He also got the computer chip, some money, the badge, and his ID card and went into the other room, where he changed into the outfit and boots he received from Falkner. He then handed the Chansey the big R, who sewn it onto the black t-shirt. The Chansey then took the small R's and sewn one onto both of Ventus's shoulders on his white leather coat. He then received an over-the-shoulder black bag with a large red R on it. He put his regular clothes and shoes in it while he put the ID card, badge, and micro ship in a hidden pocket with his white leather coat, which went all the way down to his ankles. Hoothoot didn't know what to think of all this, but he knew that it was needed in order for Ventus to succeed in his mission.
Ventus, before he went outside, noticed a young girl who introduced herself as Anna Silverman. He calmly raised his hand in front of her and smiled. "My name is Ventus Olatilis. I am Falkner's apprentice. My little buddy here is Hoothoot."
"Those who hurt Pokemon are my enemies, which makes Team Rocket my biggest enemy," he said as he clenched his right fist and punched Falkner's porch. His punch broke through a board, and it caused his Hoothoot to become worried. "Hoo Hoot," he said as he perched himself on his trainer's shoulder. "I know. I know. I have to keep a cool head," said Ventus as he breathed in some air and breathed it out. It was then that Falkner came out and greeted Ventus and Hoothoot. His trusty Pidgeot was by his side.

"How much longer do we have to walk, Master?" asks Kamora, dragging his arms. "I am so tired we haven't rest since we started this journey. I know we have some special place to go, but can't we take a day off or something. Master, are you even listening to me?" Whitney turns around and kicks Kamora in the face. "I told you to stop calling me MASTER! Stop complaining about walking, it isn't taking that long. This mission is going to require you to have patience and have a calm mind. Don't be a weakling, Team Rocket won't go easy on you. So take this seriously and get your game on!" says Whitney.
Kamora falls to the ground and looks around the forest. The trees are glowing with the Metapod evolving into their Butterfree forms and flying away. The branches are covered with bug Pokemon and Hoothoots sleeping. As he lies on the ground, Kamora wonders where his Aipom has gone. "Whitney, have you seen Aipom?"
"Yeah I told her to go around the forest and find us some Doduo, that we could ride to the safehouse."
"Aipom sure has gotten attached to you. She usually doesn't bond with other girls. She has made a very good friend in you. That still doesn't give you reason to give my Pokemon orders."
Aipom drops down from the trees and snatches Kamora's hat. She places it on her head and jumps onto Whitney's shoulder. "Did you find two Doduo?" ask Kamora and Whitney, "Aipom!" says the Pokemon. "Please take us to them." orders Whitney "Aipom, can I have my hat back?" Aipom jumps on Kamora's head then jumps back into the trees. "You told Aipom to take my hat too?" says Kamora with a sour look on his face.
"If it disables those goofy shoes then yeah I told her to do it. I don't want you wearing goofy stuff while battling Team Rocket, it gives me a bad reputation." "Whitney, you know I don't battle with those shoes. I only use them when I meet new people that are taller than me. By the way, I don't use the hat anymore, I developed a new watch to activate the shoes." Kamora starts to activate his shoes. Whitney snatches his watch and walks towards Aipom's direction.
As the master and the apprentice walk together to Aipom's direction, Kamora talks to Whitney about the mission that he will be going on soon. "Whitney, I promise I will get our gym back!" Kamora kneels to Whitney, "On my word as your apprentice, I will take down team rocket and return the Goldenrod Gym back to its glory as the strongest Normal Gym in the Johto region!" Whitney looks at Kamora, "Rise from your feet we have to get the Doduo and then to the safe house."
Kamora and Whitney find the Doduo and use Aipom and Miltank to capture them. They mount the bird Pokemon and begin their journey to the coast, where the safe house would be. After a few hours of riding the bird Pokemon, the master and apprentice reach the safe house. Aipom, jumps out of her Pokeball, steals Kamora's hat and jumps onto Whitney's shoulder. Kamora goes into the safe house. When he goes through the doors he finds that the room is filled with the other gym leaders, Professor Elm, Lance, and Mr. Pokemon.
Prof. Elm is the first one to stand up. He looks around the room, and speaks loudly.
"You have all come here for a reason," the man let the words sink in. "You have been chosen to represent your very own gym, in a mission to stop the tyranny of team rocket." The professor continues.
"You may already be a top class trainer, or maybe your gym leader has seen potentional in you, it doesn't matter. What matters is that this mission is one that might change history, and I need to know if you are ready. If you decide you can't handle it and need to leave, please do so."

All the information you need, together with some money to get you going is in there. Now your boat leaves in exactly twenty minutes, help yourself." He and the other members leave the room to discuss something.
Kamora puts Aipom on his shoulder, "Partner, let's get our game on for Whitney!" "Aipom!" says the Pokemon as she stands on Kamora's shoulder.
The partners go into the next room, where Kamora changes into his rocket uniform. Aipom keeps Kamora's hat as Kamora packs his clothes into a bag. "I still want my height shoes! There is no way that I am going to let some tall punk under estimate me. Never, because it's a 1,000 years too early for them to ever think about comparing themselves to me." mumbles Kamora as he puts his height shoes on. After he has his "R" stitched into his medium shirt and his chip in his pocket, he goes out to the boat. "I wanna leave right now!"
Kamora falls to the ground and looks around the forest. The trees are glowing with the Metapod evolving into their Butterfree forms and flying away. The branches are covered with bug Pokemon and Hoothoots sleeping. As he lies on the ground, Kamora wonders where his Aipom has gone. "Whitney, have you seen Aipom?"

Alright seems fine, tough
Charzeon: seems a bit rushed at the end, but you are doing two posts I assume? If that's the case it's fine.
Luigi-a & JDJ: Cool posts, exactly what i was looking for in this chapter.
K9S8: Seems alright, tough when a different person is speaking, make a new paragraph, it gets confusing at times, and instead of saying asked kamora, say kamora asked. I was kind of confused with your tenses, you are doing a more descriptive one right? Like using jumps instead of jumped?

(So we're going to get graded with every post?)
Anna looked over to the boy who introduced himself as Ventus and gave a very small smile. "It's very nice to meet you Ventus," she said. "I myself am the appentance of Jasmine and my Pokemon is Zodiac the Skarmory." That being said, Anna reached into her pocket and took out her only pokeball. She opened it and in a flash of light, Zodiac appeared. He cried out happily and streached his wings.
She then looked to the large R's along with the badges and ID cards. Zodiac also looked at them and turned his head to face his trainer. She just shrugged at the Skarmory and walked forward to grab a R and everything else she needed. Anna and Zodiac then walked into the other room, where another person was waiting to sew with some needles and thread.
"Where would you like to have the R stiched?" The woman asked.
"Right on my shirt please," Anna said. "It usually where grunts have their R's, plus I have no where else to put it really..."
The woman just noded and sewed the R's on Anna's shirt. Once she was was done, she left the room and returned to the place she first entered in. She then picked up her money and ticket. She gave a quick wave of good-bye before leaving the building with Zodiac. Once she was outside, she looked around and back at the building. Anna took a deep breath before turning around and heading towards the dock. She then got on the boat, with Zodiac flying above her. He let out a happy cry, which made the girl happy too. Anna knew that she could do this, that should would help bring down Team Rocket and their evil deeds.

Dodging rocket grunts as they patrolled the city was almost becoming second nature to Elijah. Being a town with such a small population, there really wasn't much for him to worry about. He was just taking extra precaution, seeing how today was that day. While always looking around to make sure nobody spotted him, he kept his left hand in his pocket, keeping a constant hold on his pokeball.
Once he reached Mahogany towns gym, Elijah let his Shellder out to say his goodbyes to all of Pryces pokemon.
While Shellder was occupied with the other pokemon, Pryce approached Elijah, a smile on his face, but a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Don't worry. I wont let you down." Elijah said to the man. He then nodded his head in Shellders direction, indicating it was time to go.
Outside the gym was a black car with its windows tinted to the point that nobody could see in or out of the back seat. With silence flooding the car, Elijah couldn't trust his voice, as it might crack, showing his true emotions about all that was happening. All he could do was just stare at the pokeball on his lap.
After what seemed to be the longest drive ever, the black car came to a halt at the edge of Johto, with nothing but sand and ocean in Elijahs view. With his head tilted on his right shoulder, he turned around to face Pryce. "What am I suppose to be looking for?" he asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Its in the sand." Answered Pryce, leading Elijah to the underground safe house.
Upon entering the secret base, Elijahs muscles tighten, aware that there are to be at least ten others in the room. But all he found was a room overflowing with electronic equipment. About to let out a sigh, Pryce led his apprentice into another room.
This room had at least fifteen other people in the room, not to mention a few pokemon. Immediately shifting his view to his feet, he forced himself to look up and listen to Professor Elm give his speech about the reason why everyone had to meet up here.
After Professor Elm was done talking, he let Lance step in and finish up.
Elijah had known Lance from watching the news from time to time. And plus, who doesn't know about Lance?
After listening to Lance speak, he walked over to the boxes location, and grabbed a smaller sized R that would fit on the left side of his chest. He then picked up the computer chip for his pokedex, the boat ticket, and the badge and id, which he placed in his right pocket. Lastly, he grabbed the allotted amount of money and neatly folded it in half to fit in his left back pocket.
Walking into the next room, he saw a woman standing, needle in hand, ready to stitch the R onto an article of clothing.
"Right there." Elijah said, and pointed to the left side of his chest.
Within a few minutes, she was done, ready for the next person to enter the room.
Without making too much of a ruckus, Elijah tried his best to avoid making contact with any of the others who he would have to eventually get to know sooner or later. He quickly walked over to where Pryce was standing.
"Im nervous." Elijah confessed to him. The heel of his foot was tapping the ground.
"I know. Don't worry, though. Im sure you will do just fine." A sincere smile made its way on Pryces face after he finished talking.
Elijah stood there, smiling back, and with a handshake, he left the room and stepped outside where the dock was located, and sat down on an unoccupied space of grass, watching a few of the trainers interact with each other.

OOC: The part in italics at the beginning of this post might look familiar to Game Over and maybe K9S8, but confusing to everyone else. Just bear with me here...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One evening, just before sunset, an eleven-year-old girl walked through the monthly marketplace in the heart of Lilycove City, Hoenn. Her platinum blond hair took on a bright pink tint in the fading sunlight, and her face took on happy eyes and a confident smile. Dressed all in white, she noted all those equally happy individuals who were wandering about and shopping all around her. However, on occasion her hand strayed into someone's shopping bag, purse, or any other place where people typically kept things of value. Any item she obtained this way ended up in a shoulder bag hidden beneath the shawl she was wearing, though she was careful to prevent that bag from becoming too full. Whenever she did so her smile broadened a bit, though it faded slightly as soon as it came. No one around her would know the true reason behind her happiness nor how she got there, and that's exactly what she wanted.
The girl eventually made her way into the woods on the outskirts of the city. There, an old but still cheery-looking house sat right nearby where the river used to run ages ago. As she got closer, a Custap tree came into view, and some other indistinguishable tree, and the house came into view as well...
Yet after a while these images began to fade, out of the trivial realm of the subconscious to make way for a more conscious state. More images and sensations came, way different from what preceded. This time the perspective was that of a young man lying on a futon in a dimly lit room. The light from the single small lamp in the opposite corner cast shadows around him, and his face absorbed no happiness from them. Dressed all in black, he was devoid of any happy individuals around him. Even if they were there, no one around him would know the true reason behind his loneliness nor how he got there, and that's exactly what he wanted.
Once he saw that the clock showed a time of 10:48, Lupin knew that it was time to come to terms with reality, for an important trip with Morty was soon to come. As he stood up and straightened out his hair a bit, he heard muffled voices coming from the other side of the wall, one familiar yet new, one very familiar. Grabbing his glasses and coat, he headed for the doorway out of the room, shielding his eyes from the sudden burst of sunlight issuing from it. In the next room, a larger one similar to a living room, the people to whom the voices from before belonged sat on a sofa. One was Morty, and the other was a short young man with black ponytailed hair, green eyeshadow, and an elegant purple coat. The latter was the first to speak to him.
"And so the night encompasses the day, initiating its plan to seek purity in itself."
"And so..." Lupin replied, trying to imitate his mystical-sounding voice, "the night begins, and the full moon begins to rise..."
"Now now Merlin," Morty lectured, patting his friend on the back, "let's not speak in riddles to our guest."
Then he spoke to Lupin. "Hello Lupin. Did you have a nice nap?"
"I suppose," Lupin answered, gazing casually at the door. "I don't like to stay up late like this, but in these circumstances I'll have to make do."
Despite the nap he had just taken, Lupin still felt a little tired, simply because that's how he normally felt that time of day. In fact, this time was often his bedtime. He sincerely hoped that this would be the only daytime meeting he had to attend, and after that he could travel around Johto (and sneak into Team Rocket bases) at night. But for now he would have to live with it. So a few minutes later, the three men were in the car, driving out to the place Morty specified. Merlin was driving, since the car was his, and Morty sat in the passenger seat so that he could better dictate the directions.
"Oh, you have no worries about keeping this location secret," Merlin kept saying to Morty during the drive. "Knowledge of this location shall not stray from the minds of the gym leaders, their apprentices, and the Black Cat Bandits. Secrecy is our motto--right, Lupin?"
"Sometimes it's best to not say those things," Lupin commented with slight exasperation.
After a bit of driving, the car came to a stop at the edge of a winding road skimming the coastline. It was here that Merlin dropped the other two off, at the top of a relatively level slope which led down to the beach. To Lupin's dismay, the sky was still clear.
"Farewell, my two best friends," Merlin announced just after the passengers exited the car. "Remember to contact me if anything seems suspicious, so that Halberd and Warren and I could better figure things out. And Yamiko too, of course."
Lupin cracked a brief smile at the mention of Yamiko, but it wasn't long before he and Morty turned around and started down the rocky slope. During this climb, Lupin withdrew a black umbrella from his pocket--this he used as a shield against the bright sunlight. Yet even with one free hand, he was able to manage the downhill climb without much help. However, in some places, the two had to send out a Pokemon to help. Morty sent out his Gengar, and Lupin sent out Maleficent, his new Misdreavus. However, Maleficent spent most of her time hiding under Lupin's umbrella, because she too disliked sunlight.
At the bottom of the slope, the two ghost trainers made a sharp left, and eventually made their way to a bunker that had been hidden in the sand. The secret location and the various gadgets and electronic parts reminded Lupin of a "secret garage" belonging to Halberd, a fellow Black Cat Bandit who was also a mechanic. As this room began to fill up (Morty returned his Gengar to its Pokeball so it would not give anyone chills), Lupin noticed that each of the other gym leaders also brought an apprentice, as expected. What he didn't expect, though, was the arrival of a gym leader from Hoenn--Flannery to be exact. Morty had told him that all the Johto gym leaders would be there, but he didn't mention anything about other regions being involved.
Fortunately, though, that was all explained in due time. For just then, Lupin noticed three other people in the room: Professor Elm, Lance, and who must have been Mr. Pokemon. Lupin had never seen Mr. Pokemon before (not even a picture), due to not living in Johto, but Morty had told him about his work. But Lupin paid special attention to Lance, for he recognised him as a partner of sorts. Both of them sought to bring an end to evil organisations like Team Rocket, and both thought the best approach to be pretending to belong to such teams so as to spy on them. Lupin had considered this clever plan ever since he escaped from Team Rocket's special prison, but never imagined he'd get this much help with it. In a way, such help was convenient, but Lupin was still a bit skeptical of it.
How do I know that the apprentices, especially, won't mess things up? Lupin thought. I would have been content to embark on this mission alone, but now I have to hope that nobody will set me back. Surely I'd have to keep an eye on some of these people, but I'll need my escape plan in case they fail.
Fortunately, the room was not much more brightly lit than the room he had woken up in, so he was able to put away his umbrella, and Maleficent was able to come out of hiding. The Misdreavus did not wander off--she hovered right next to Lupin's head, gazing intently at Lance, who was getting something out of a storage cabinet. But this moment didn't last for long, because just then Professor Elm stood up and spoke to the group.
"You have all come here for a reason."
The group quieted, and both Maleficent and Lupin listened even more intently.
"You have been chosen to represent your very own gym, in a mission to stop the tyranny of Team Rocket."
Lupin nodded. I don't know about representing a gym, but I'd be too glad to participate in this mission.
"Alright then," Elm continued. "There are nine trainers here in total, eight from Johto, and the last one from a supporting region. It would be for the best if you all worked together, but don't arouse any suspicion. The person you will meet is a Team Rocket representative. He will probably give you Pokeballs like anybody who starts their adventure."
"We have an operative working undercover--because of him we have been able to obtain this," Lance picked up, taking out a box of stuff and showing some of it to the group. "These R's are to adjust your clothing to make it into a uniform--you can ask the people in the next room to stitch them on. There is a chip included which you will have to insert in the Pokedex Team Rocket gives you, for tracking reasons. Finally, these badges and ID cards are also for verification. All the information you need, together with some money to get you going, is in there. Now your boat leaves in twenty minutes, so help yourself."
At that point, Morty turned to Lupin.
"I have to discuss something with the other gym leaders," he explained. "But remember why I picked you for this mission. Your experience and capabilities give you a rather unique role, but make sure you know what you're doing at all times, and don't hesitate to contact Merlin or myself if anything goes amiss."
When Morty left, Lupin had time to contemplate what Elm and Lance said as he walked up to obtain his materials, so to speak. Of course, he had already brought some items with him that seemed necessary for this mission. One of these was his cell phone, which he took everywhere anyway, but he always made sure that it was set to vibrate a barely noticeable amount whenever it "rang". Speaking of which, at that moment Lupin felt such a vibration in one of the pockets on his chest... Taking out the phone--which had a tiny antenna sticking up out the top and a dim screen--he saw there was a text message from Merlin:
"I'm headed to Violet City now. I advise you not to meet up with me just yet. Halberd and Warren are already carrying out their part of the plan, even for this message."
Lupin nodded as he put the phone away, proceeding to pick up the materials. Since there was still a tiny part of him that still didn't trust Halberd and Warren that much, he was relieved to know for sure that they were contributing as they said they would. Originally he thought that the other Black Cat Bandits' help with this mission was unnecessary and unadvisable, but knowing how persistent they were about teamwork, and knowing that they wouldn't be physically with him, eased his worries.
Lupin thought the money they gave him was quite unnecessary--he had brought quite a bit with him, the result of all his pickpocketing activity within the last three days. However, he figured that he couldn't refuse free money--it was an opportunity just like anything else. As for the ID, he put it in the same pocket that his money went into: a hidden pocket on the inside of his coat. Before he did so, he stopped to examine it, pleased that his name was not on it. After all, his real name was what was in the prison records, thus the one Team Rocket would recognise. Fortunately, nothing Lupin owned showed his real name, which he disowned for the most part. He didn't even have a Pokedex yet.
As for the R, Lupin picked the smallest size possible, one just a bit bigger than his palm. However, by no means would he let any stranger sew anything onto his coat. Instead he took a few little safety pins and used them to fasten the R to the pocket on the right side of his chest. In order to conceal the pins, he fastened them so that they showed on the inside of the pocket. The other advantage of this was that if his phone vibrated, the pins would make the vibrations more noticeable to him while still remaining barely audible. His other reason for pinning rather than sewing the R was because there might be some times when he would want to conceal his identity as a Rocket, for things like ventures into bases. Speaking of those, the tracking chip would be a complication... but Lupin was already coming up with a plan to get around that. On the way out he picked up a little cloth bag that had been dropped near one of the sewing stations. Beckoning Maleficent to follow him, he exited into the outside world...
To his surprise, the sky was cloudy by that time. Looking up to the sky, Lupin saw that a blanket of clouds had just covered the sun, and it would probably remain that way for the rest of the day. He was pleased with this, for that meant he didn't have to carry his umbrella around anymore. Looking around him, he saw that the other trainers, all wearing red R's like he was, were heading to the docks as well, where the boat would lead them to where the real mission began.

Originally he thought that the other Black Cat Bandits' help with this mission was unnecessary and unadvisable, but knowing how persistent they were about teamwork, and knowing that they wouldn't be physically with him, eased his worries.
Lupin thought the money they gave him was quite unnecessary--he had brought quite a bit with him, the result of all his pickpocketing activity within the last three days. However, he figured that he couldn't refuse free money--it was an opportunity just like anything else. As for the ID, he put it in the same pocket that his money went into: a hidden pocket on the inside of his coat. Before he did so, he stopped to examine it, pleased that his name was not on it. After all, his real name was what was in the prison records, thus the one Team Rocket would recognise. Fortunately, nothing Lupin owned showed his real name, which he disowned for the most part. He didn't even have a Pokedex yet.
As for the R, Lupin picked the smallest size possible, one just a bit bigger than his palm. However, by no means would he let any stranger sew anything onto his coat. Instead he took a few little safety pins and used them to fasten the R to the pocket on the right side of his chest. In order to conceal the pins, he fastened them so that they showed on the inside of the pocket. The other advantage of this was that if his phone vibrated, the pins would make the vibrations more noticeable to him while still remaining barely audible. His other reason for pinning rather than sewing the R was because there might be some times when he would want to conceal his identity as a Rocket, for things like ventures into bases. Speaking of those, the tracking chip would be a complication... but Lupin was already coming up with a plan to get around that. On the way out he picked up a little cloth bag that had been dropped near one of the sewing stations. Beckoning Maleficent to follow him, he exited into the outside world...
To his surprise, the sky was cloudy by that time. Looking up to the sky, Lupin saw that a blanket of clouds had just covered the sun, and it would probably remain that way for the rest of the day. He was pleased with this, for that meant he didn't have to carry his umbrella around anymore. Looking around him, he saw that the other trainers, all wearing red R's like he was, were heading to the docks as well, where the boat would lead them to where the real mission began.

After Anna Silverman walked away, Ventus went to the docks, where he saw some other apprentices.
"Falkner really trusts me. I still can't believe he has chosen me to do this. I mean, I haven't been a trainer that long..." thought Ventus as Hoothoot started to worry. "Hoo hoo hoot?" he asked as he flew in front of his trainer's face. This brought Ventus to attention.
"I'm sorry buddy. I'm just concerned," said Ventus as he looked at his multi-colored thread bracelet. He decided to continue wearing these bracelets. He was going to represent his hometown and Gym with pride against Team Rocket.
"Hoothoot, we shall destroy Team Rocket. Once we get more partners, Team Rocket won't stand a chance against us," said Ventus as a smile came across his face. He was truly ready now. He just had to remember his mission and why he was chosen.
"Hoothoot!" shouted Hoothoot with pride as he flew around his trainer. He was beginning to build confidence as well. Wherever his trainer went, he would follow, no matter where it is.
"We shall reclaim Violet City, I swear upon it."
OOC: I am sorry this is short, but I can't think of anything else to put here.

Since i finally got my internet! Hooray!
Oh Quicksand. I made a mistake with your sign up, Snorunt is not available in Johto or Kanto, please PM and change it to another pokemon.
Remember, the OOC thread is now open, I am looking for trainercards or anything similar, what JDJ has in his sig will also work.
JDJ: Nice sig :D
GameOver: Yea... that was really short, try not to do that in the future XD If you can't think of anything to post, wait a couple of hours you might think of something. :D
But since this is an introductionary post, it can be short.
Oh and ignore what I said about your tenses, it was just present XD
Ninetales: I enjoyed reading your post, exceeded what I had in mind for this chapter, hooray for you. I can't believe lupin takes advantage of something as petty as a pin
Proddit: Good post, nothing more to say really XD
Charzeon: Same, it was short but since you posted two parts that was expected :D
Quicksand.: Again the same, good post, what I was looking for in this chapter.
Now since I finally have the time to do this... this next part is mainly for me to see how your characters battle, and how you guys post in battles.
Your character starts off arriving -unless the character already went there- at the dock. The ticket states 13:00, you may wait, or the boat may already be there. You say your goodbyes to your respective gym leaders, and enter the boat. The ferry is one of the newer ones, a huge boat, with a lot of floors. You realize that Mr. Pokemon must have put in a huge amount of money for this trip. On the intercom, the captain tells you that the trip will take seven hours, instead of six, because of some extra weight. (Six hours because the safe house is in a very remote nameless region, and the ferries don't travel fast) You get shown a room, where unpack your stuff, and may decide to take a quick nap. Upstairs lunch is being served, and after lunch you can go to the main deck. Since you don't have any pokeballs yet, you can't catch a pokemon. Tough you can easily fight exotic wild pokemon, or fight some sailors.
Rules:
You can view your pokemon's moves in the OOC thread
Don't use your egg move yet, you can try but you will fail
No godmodding and bunnying etc,
Only one pokemon in a fight (wild or trainer)

((And was a bit rushed, forgive me,))
"You know, whistling that tune is highly inappropriate" Helena stopped whistling the tune of Kill Bill, and spun around to see Flannery's amused smile. Helena quickly checked her watch, 12:45. The ticket said the ferry would arrive at 13:00, so whatever the Gym Leader was up to, she had to say it within 15 minutes.
"Why? I like the tune, doesn't mean I'm going to kill anyone anytime soon! Or take their eye out, I always liked that part." Helena completed the sentence with a grin and Flannery met it with a look of mock-shock.
"You're sure you want to do this?" The leader had suddenly grown serious again, taking Helena aback a bit, but she knew the answer.
"Yeah, I'm certain. Don't worry about me Flannery, I'll be fine."
"Fine, but I'm still not happy about this. Want me to tell Paris goodbye again?" Flannery asked. Helena nodded to this and with that, Flannery departed, though not without a hug. It was Helena for herself now, and she wasn't going to let anybody down. She was still full of fantasies about her great victory when the boat arrived in the port and they were all herded in like a bunch of cattle.
The boat was huge, Helena had to give it that. Multiple floors, huge crew. That Mr. Pokémon must have a hole in his very fat pocket. A man's static voice explained that the journey would take 7 hours, instead of 6, but that didn't bother Helena, she loved the sea air. The saltiness that she missed so much in Lavaridge.
"Here's your room miss," a crewmember held the door open for Helena, but she barely paid attention. It was number 9 on the second floor, that was all the info she really needed. "But…" The sailor said to Helena's back as she eagerly ran away from the room and towards wherever. She found a door that led to an open deck and eagerly took it.
"Come on out Voldy!" She released the Pokémon, who ran toward the railing, caught one sight of the water churning below, and ran back to hide behind his trainer's legs. "Don't like water, hm?" Helena asked. "Makes sense, you're a Fire type. But you have to admit the air is lovely!" Voldemort shook his head rapidly, making Helena smile. "Well, then, we'll just find somewhere else to go."
Somewhere else to go ended up being the kitchens where Helena received a sandwhich and some Pokéfood (For Voldemort of course). The food was of mediocre quality, no matter the grandeur of the ship, but it went down, and stayed down, so it was good enough for her. That was excitement, then came boredom.
The rest of the day was pretty much spent by twiddling her thumbs around the ship, trying to explore every area possible. She had run into quite some Zubat lurking into darker areas, and had run away promptly. Helena was no fan of Zubat.
Meanwhile Voldemort jumped every time the ship as much as rocked up and down. And it was a ship. It rocks quite often. More than once Helena considered just calling Paris to talk, but she didn't want to worry him or anything. She got a piece of what Paris must have felt like when he left her for his journey, it was quite lonely to stray away from that one person you've done everything with, experienced most everything with. Seriously though, they were born together, how much closer could you get?
This was when the real boredom hadn't even started yet. At first she could amuse herself with trying to find the way back to her room, which was more tricky than she had expected. Different stairs came up to different areas and whatnot. But then it was quite disappointing when she had actually found it. She settled herself on her bed, with Voldemort cowering underneath it with the first best wave. There were some books on a shelf, but they were all geographic books or history books or just plain boredom in a paper cover.
This is when Helena remember the books she packed in her bag. There was a special multicoloured pocket on the inside of her bag, made of many patches of bright fabric, that held a few of her books. Of course nothing as heavy as Harry Potter, but she had a Percy Jackson, a Darkest Powers and a Memoirs, all paperback, stuffed in there. Her room back home was almost one giant library and it had been hard to pick which book to take with her, but now she was glad to have packed them.
She started with Memoirs of a Geisha, going through the worn paperback novel with all the folds and creases in the paper, and the old coffee stain where she had first tried coffee, and then spitted it out. Memories lay within the pages of that book. "Well, it is called a Memoir," Helena giggled at her own pun, before drifting in the all too familiar story of a young Japanese girl on the long journey to become a Geisha. She didn't even notice when she drifted asleep.
She dreamt she was a Geisha, and Jasper was the very young Chairman, except without a Nobu. Jasper was this boy back home she had this major crush on. She was a teenager after all. Her hormones were allowed to act up every now and then. And Jasper was really hot. And 3 years older, but she preferred not to think about that one. That wasn't enarly as bad as 16 year old Chiyo completely in love with this 40-something dude. Not nearly.
The reason she awoke from that glorious dream? Something very, and I mean very, warm had just climbed into the bed with her, shaking while doing so. Helena awoke slowly to find Voldemort curled against her, trembling when the ship went through a little bit of rough weather.
"Honestly, Voldy, you aren't acting like the Dark Lord should. You're supposed to be fearless, loveless, and killing people as a sport. Not shaking in fear over a bit of water!" Voldemort did not like this statement. He jumped off the bed to act very offended, but another sudden lurch of the floor beneath him got him jumping right on the bed again. "Maybe I should've called you Quinn instead," Helena mumbled in reference to another of her favourite books, Gone.
It didn't take long for the waves to settle themselves again, and Helena looked at her Nav for the time. 6:54, enough time for another quick stroll before, hopefully, they would arrive un Olivine. Hopefully, because you never knew what could happen between here on the middle of the sea, and Olivine City.
By this time Helena was desperate enough to go back to the Zubat. Instead she decided to go toward the deck again, and found a Sailor lounging on his break. He noticed her, and waved her over. Naturally, she complied, Voldemort trailing behind her, looking nervously at the monster that was the sea.
"Eh, lassy, wha've ya got 'ere?" the Sailor had a tough accent to decipher, but after a few seconds Helena figured out he actually said 'Hey, girl, what have you got there.' She refrained from pointing out the obvious grammar issues and stereotype sailor accusations, instead she replied in a nice and, she hoped, educated manor.
"Just a wimp of a Chimchar and a heck of a lot of boredom."
"Well, eh, if ya fancy I coul' challenge ye to a battle. Woul' take some o' the boredom away, won' it? If ya little kit is up to it, tha' is." Another few seconds to translate Sailor-speech into human-speech later.
"Sure, why not. Prepare to beaten, tough little sailor-guy, we're not as weak as we look." She made a point of puffing her chest out to seem tougher, but it just made the Sailor laugh.
"Name's Samuel, lassy, I like yer spirit! Chopper, go at it!" He sent out a terribly tiny Machop. Helena had seen Machop before, but none were as small as this one. It seemed to try and cover it up with muscles, but that jut made him look even more disproportionate. Helena couldn't help but snort. "Ya laugh now, lass, but he can kick that tiny m'nkey's ass any day!"
"Suuuuuuuure. Voldemort, go in with scratch!" No patience, it was something Flannery had chided her for, but Helena just wanted to get in there and pawn this guys' butt so hard that he would wake up the next day without one.
Voldemort hesitantly jumped in and scratched the Machop, who let him, while focusing his energy as his trainer had just instructed him to do. It did some damage, sure, but Machop didn't really flinch.
"Chopper, go get 'em with a low kick!" with the momentum of focused energy the little Machop leaped up with incredible speed and kicked the feet right from under Voldemort, resulting in said's bum landing hard on the flooring.
"Voldy! Scratch again!" Voldemort jumped up again, but Samuel ordered another focus energy. Voldemort landed his hit, which hurt a bit more than the last time, but Chopper just retaliated with the same low kick again. Voldemort ended up being the one who drew the smaller straw, again. But a low kick was a low kick. Not a high kick, or a jump kick. A low kick. One could almost see Helena's brains at work.
"Voldemort, get to higher ground, from there on, jump down and tackle Machop's head!"
"Chopp'r, use leer and stare him d'wn like ya can!" Voldemort jumped up onto a crate, where a low kick wouldn't be able to get him, and he turned to jump on top of Chopper. Chopper thought none of that, and his eyes glowed in a creepy start that caught Voldemort off guard. He stumbled, lost his footing, and fell on his bum again, bless that monkey,
"Voldemort! Come on, we must win this! How many times have we trained balance in the gym? Right, many, many times. Try again!" Voldemort jumped back on the crate, discretely avoided Chopper's eyes, and jumped on the Machop with some nasty scratching moves. Machop cringed in pain as he was hit by the almost aerial attack that he couldn't block. But as if on cue, just as Voldemort was about to jump back out of its range again, Chopper used a low kick to this time kick the Chimchar in the gut. Voldemort was propelled backwards and landed in a crate.
"Told ya size ain't matters. Chopper's got this one all right. Finish it off with a leer as soon as he looks up, and then kick 'im."
'Ehm. Eeehm. Eeeeeehm. Eeeeeeeeeeeeehm,' Helena was going down the list of what moves Voldemort knew. Right! He knew leer too! "Voldemort, prove your true Dark Lordism, and use leer back! Lord Voldemort should know how to stare a tiny Machop down!" Voldemort immediately jumped up, a glimmer in his eyes as he stared menacingly at the Machop. A stare-battle of a few seconds ensued, won by Voldemort.
"Finish it with a killed Ava- eegm, scratch!" Voldemort leaped up at the flinched Machop and scratched it with all he was worth, resulting in a KO. At the same moment Oliving city came in view behind Samuel.
"Look!" She exclaimed, pointing at the steadily growing view of the port. "We're here!"
"Got that right, lassy. Guess yer not as bad as I thought ye were. I'm needed below deck now, have a great voyage!"
"You know, whistling that tune is highly inappropriate" Helena stopped whistling the tune of Kill Bill, and spun around to see Flannery's amused smile. Helena quickly checked her watch, 12:45. The ticket said the ferry would arrive at 13:00, so whatever the Gym Leader was up to, she had to say it within 15 minutes.
"Why? I like the tune, doesn't mean I'm going to kill anyone anytime soon! Or take their eye out, I always liked that part." Helena completed the sentence with a grin and Flannery met it with a look of mock-shock.
"You're sure you want to do this?" The leader had suddenly grown serious again, taking Helena aback a bit, but she knew the answer.
"Yeah, I'm certain. Don't worry about me Flannery, I'll be fine."
"Fine, but I'm still not happy about this. Want me to tell Paris goodbye again?" Flannery asked. Helena nodded to this and with that, Flannery departed, though not without a hug. It was Helena for herself now, and she wasn't going to let anybody down. She was still full of fantasies about her great victory when the boat arrived in the port and they were all herded in like a bunch of cattle.
The boat was huge, Helena had to give it that. Multiple floors, huge crew. That Mr. Pokémon must have a hole in his very fat pocket. A man's static voice explained that the journey would take 7 hours, instead of 6, but that didn't bother Helena, she loved the sea air. The saltiness that she missed so much in Lavaridge.
"Here's your room miss," a crewmember held the door open for Helena, but she barely paid attention. It was number 9 on the second floor, that was all the info she really needed. "But…" The sailor said to Helena's back as she eagerly ran away from the room and towards wherever. She found a door that led to an open deck and eagerly took it.
"Come on out Voldy!" She released the Pokémon, who ran toward the railing, caught one sight of the water churning below, and ran back to hide behind his trainer's legs. "Don't like water, hm?" Helena asked. "Makes sense, you're a Fire type. But you have to admit the air is lovely!" Voldemort shook his head rapidly, making Helena smile. "Well, then, we'll just find somewhere else to go."
Somewhere else to go ended up being the kitchens where Helena received a sandwhich and some Pokéfood (For Voldemort of course). The food was of mediocre quality, no matter the grandeur of the ship, but it went down, and stayed down, so it was good enough for her. That was excitement, then came boredom.
The rest of the day was pretty much spent by twiddling her thumbs around the ship, trying to explore every area possible. She had run into quite some Zubat lurking into darker areas, and had run away promptly. Helena was no fan of Zubat.
Meanwhile Voldemort jumped every time the ship as much as rocked up and down. And it was a ship. It rocks quite often. More than once Helena considered just calling Paris to talk, but she didn't want to worry him or anything. She got a piece of what Paris must have felt like when he left her for his journey, it was quite lonely to stray away from that one person you've done everything with, experienced most everything with. Seriously though, they were born together, how much closer could you get?
This was when the real boredom hadn't even started yet. At first she could amuse herself with trying to find the way back to her room, which was more tricky than she had expected. Different stairs came up to different areas and whatnot. But then it was quite disappointing when she had actually found it. She settled herself on her bed, with Voldemort cowering underneath it with the first best wave. There were some books on a shelf, but they were all geographic books or history books or just plain boredom in a paper cover.
This is when Helena remember the books she packed in her bag. There was a special multicoloured pocket on the inside of her bag, made of many patches of bright fabric, that held a few of her books. Of course nothing as heavy as Harry Potter, but she had a Percy Jackson, a Darkest Powers and a Memoirs, all paperback, stuffed in there. Her room back home was almost one giant library and it had been hard to pick which book to take with her, but now she was glad to have packed them.
She started with Memoirs of a Geisha, going through the worn paperback novel with all the folds and creases in the paper, and the old coffee stain where she had first tried coffee, and then spitted it out. Memories lay within the pages of that book. "Well, it is called a Memoir," Helena giggled at her own pun, before drifting in the all too familiar story of a young Japanese girl on the long journey to become a Geisha. She didn't even notice when she drifted asleep.
She dreamt she was a Geisha, and Jasper was the very young Chairman, except without a Nobu. Jasper was this boy back home she had this major crush on. She was a teenager after all. Her hormones were allowed to act up every now and then. And Jasper was really hot. And 3 years older, but she preferred not to think about that one. That wasn't enarly as bad as 16 year old Chiyo completely in love with this 40-something dude. Not nearly.
The reason she awoke from that glorious dream? Something very, and I mean very, warm had just climbed into the bed with her, shaking while doing so. Helena awoke slowly to find Voldemort curled against her, trembling when the ship went through a little bit of rough weather.
"Honestly, Voldy, you aren't acting like the Dark Lord should. You're supposed to be fearless, loveless, and killing people as a sport. Not shaking in fear over a bit of water!" Voldemort did not like this statement. He jumped off the bed to act very offended, but another sudden lurch of the floor beneath him got him jumping right on the bed again. "Maybe I should've called you Quinn instead," Helena mumbled in reference to another of her favourite books, Gone.
It didn't take long for the waves to settle themselves again, and Helena looked at her Nav for the time. 6:54, enough time for another quick stroll before, hopefully, they would arrive un Olivine. Hopefully, because you never knew what could happen between here on the middle of the sea, and Olivine City.
By this time Helena was desperate enough to go back to the Zubat. Instead she decided to go toward the deck again, and found a Sailor lounging on his break. He noticed her, and waved her over. Naturally, she complied, Voldemort trailing behind her, looking nervously at the monster that was the sea.
"Eh, lassy, wha've ya got 'ere?" the Sailor had a tough accent to decipher, but after a few seconds Helena figured out he actually said 'Hey, girl, what have you got there.' She refrained from pointing out the obvious grammar issues and stereotype sailor accusations, instead she replied in a nice and, she hoped, educated manor.
"Just a wimp of a Chimchar and a heck of a lot of boredom."
"Well, eh, if ya fancy I coul' challenge ye to a battle. Woul' take some o' the boredom away, won' it? If ya little kit is up to it, tha' is." Another few seconds to translate Sailor-speech into human-speech later.
"Sure, why not. Prepare to beaten, tough little sailor-guy, we're not as weak as we look." She made a point of puffing her chest out to seem tougher, but it just made the Sailor laugh.
"Name's Samuel, lassy, I like yer spirit! Chopper, go at it!" He sent out a terribly tiny Machop. Helena had seen Machop before, but none were as small as this one. It seemed to try and cover it up with muscles, but that jut made him look even more disproportionate. Helena couldn't help but snort. "Ya laugh now, lass, but he can kick that tiny m'nkey's ass any day!"
"Suuuuuuuure. Voldemort, go in with scratch!" No patience, it was something Flannery had chided her for, but Helena just wanted to get in there and pawn this guys' butt so hard that he would wake up the next day without one.
Voldemort hesitantly jumped in and scratched the Machop, who let him, while focusing his energy as his trainer had just instructed him to do. It did some damage, sure, but Machop didn't really flinch.
"Chopper, go get 'em with a low kick!" with the momentum of focused energy the little Machop leaped up with incredible speed and kicked the feet right from under Voldemort, resulting in said's bum landing hard on the flooring.
"Voldy! Scratch again!" Voldemort jumped up again, but Samuel ordered another focus energy. Voldemort landed his hit, which hurt a bit more than the last time, but Chopper just retaliated with the same low kick again. Voldemort ended up being the one who drew the smaller straw, again. But a low kick was a low kick. Not a high kick, or a jump kick. A low kick. One could almost see Helena's brains at work.
"Voldemort, get to higher ground, from there on, jump down and tackle Machop's head!"
"Chopp'r, use leer and stare him d'wn like ya can!" Voldemort jumped up onto a crate, where a low kick wouldn't be able to get him, and he turned to jump on top of Chopper. Chopper thought none of that, and his eyes glowed in a creepy start that caught Voldemort off guard. He stumbled, lost his footing, and fell on his bum again, bless that monkey,
"Voldemort! Come on, we must win this! How many times have we trained balance in the gym? Right, many, many times. Try again!" Voldemort jumped back on the crate, discretely avoided Chopper's eyes, and jumped on the Machop with some nasty scratching moves. Machop cringed in pain as he was hit by the almost aerial attack that he couldn't block. But as if on cue, just as Voldemort was about to jump back out of its range again, Chopper used a low kick to this time kick the Chimchar in the gut. Voldemort was propelled backwards and landed in a crate.

Having already said goodbye to Pryce inside the well-hidden base, Elijah really had nothing left to do. Luckily for him, the boat that would transport him to Olivine City was already pulling up. Dusting himself off, he stood up and walked over to the dock.
Being on of the last few to board, he looked ahead and noticed some of the trainers had their pokemon out and with them. Reaching for Shellders pokeball, he quickly decided against it, seeing how it would be hard for her to walk due to being a shell.
When the time is right.
While boarding the boat, one of the first things Elijah noticed was how large the ferry was. He couldn't help but smile, hoping the inside was at least half as luxurious as the outside was. His thoughts of happiness were suddenly interrupted by a booming voice announcing the trip would take an extra hour due to carrying extra weight.
Extra weight? Do nine teenagers really weigh that much? He question himself, but thought nothing else of it.
Walking up the stairs to his room, a man in a suit escorted Elijah to his room. As he walked into the room, he told the man "thanks" and closed the door behind him.
Walking to the bed, he belly flopped onto the mattress, reached for a pillow, and fell asleep.
Waking up to an abrupt rock of the boat, he stretched and yawned, wondering if this was how his father felt when he was out on the ocean. He must get lonely sometimes? I wonder if he ever thinks about life back in Mahogany Town? A thoughtful "hmmmm" escaped his mouth.
Getting bored with exploring only the inside of the boat, he gathered all the courage he could, and decided to head toward the deck.
Walking past the dining area, Elijahs mind quickly changed about heading outside.
"A quick bite to eat wouldn't hurt much." He spoke to the pokeball that was now in his hand. He let out his pokemon, which announced an elongated "sheelllderr" while releasing its tongue to meet the unfamiliar scent of the sea.
Elijah walked over to a secluded table with his partner not to far behind, and ordered a simple sandwich and some food for his pokemon.
After eating, Elijah carried his Shellder to the main deck, but became distracted by one of the few pools the boat had to offer. He looked down at her. She hasn't been in any water lately. Must be agonizing being teased by the ocean, knowing she cant go in.
"Alright, wanna take a dip in the pool?" He asked her. She moved her body in a nodding motion, indicating a yes.
Shooing away a few Wingulls, he took of his shoes, and stuck part of his legs into the water. Shellder had already been let into the shallow pool. She was now floating atop the small waves created by the rocking of the boat, relaxation spread across her face.

...I thought I was going to be the first to post in this chapter, but I guess two posts came in just as I was typing this one up, hence why this post doesn't exactly go with the other two. Oh well...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Lupin approached the dock, he got a good look at each of the other apprentices here. Falkner's apprentice seemed very determined to stop Team Rocket, though a little bit on the aggressive side. Bugsy's apprentice had a similar determination, though he seemed more on the quiet side. In fact, he almost seemed trustworthy to Lupin, though that could not be certain. Whitney's apprentice looked rather goofy, with a magician's hat and abnormally long legs. As Lupin got a closer look, he saw that this apprentice was actually wearing extremely tall shoes.
Pathetic, Lupin thought. He's not even that short to begin with. I think if he takes those shoes off he'd still be a bit taller than Merlin.
Chuck's apprentice was easy to identify--he was the macho guy who looked like he enjoyed spending time at the gym. In fact, he reminded Lupin of an ex-boyfriend Yamiko had... Jasmine's apprentice was a girl about his height, another quiet-type so it seemed. Pryce's apprentice was a young teenage boy wearing baggy clothes. Lupin walked rather closely behind him at first, keeping an eye on his left back pocket... but then he figured that it was unwise to steal from an ally. Clair's apprentice was another young teenage boy, though he looked to be more amiable and confident than the other, just like a rightful Dragon-type trainer. And finally there was Flannery's apprentice. At first glance, this girl seemed to have Yamiko's figure and Lupin's hair, but when she turned around she looked very obviously doll-like. She looked to be energetic in nature, and Lupin began to worry about her membership in Team Rocket.
Walking past and ignoring Helena for the moment, Lupin made it to the dock. There, a man stood next to a small tent, underneath which was a pile of luggage. As Lupin approached, this man fumbled through this pile of bags and suitcases, handing one suitcase to Lupin as he boarded.
"As requested, here is your baggage," he said as he did so.
The suitcase was a small one, much like a large briefcase, but Lupin still made it a priority to take it into his room. Looking around, he noted the elegance of the ferry--in fact, instead of calling it a ferry, he could very well have called it a cruise ship. Although he was instructed to go to the third floor so that the usher could show him to his room, as he boarded this ferry he noticed that there were several floors in the main cabin, and there was lots of space on the main deck. Through the windows of other floors, Lupin could see some sailors talking and having a good time. Most of the people on board already were the working crew of this ship, or the various hosts attending to the apprentices' needs.
This ferry seems rather upscale, doesn't it? Lupin thought as he proceeded on board. The people behind this sure make strange offers. An absurd amount of money, for one thing; a trip on a ferry like this, for another... Surely this can't be all it seems to be. Why would Elm, Lance, or this Mr. Pokemon trust us easily enough so as to treat us like this? Of course, it could be a bribe, it could be motivation--which makes sense, since many of these other apprentices realise the danger of this mission. Perhaps it's just suspicious to me because I'm used to such dangers. I don't even regard this mission as being particularly "dangerous"--the only "danger" I see is in being caught, an action that results from an error in secrecy. But if these other apprentices can't be convincing Rockets, that's their problem. No matter--if in the end I must take on this mission by myself, so it shall be.
As soon as Lupin got upstairs, a group of people came out to greet the apprentices and show them to their rooms. Before too long, a lady in a blue suit came up to Lupin, hand extended.
"Good afternoon Mr. Tasselbury," she greeted as they shook hands. "Please allow me to show you to your room."
The room was nothing particularly special--just a small room with a bed, a nightstand, and a ceiling fan. Immediately Lupin propped his suitase against the wall, and started to unbutton his coat...
"By the way," the attendant mentioned, "lunch will be served in half an hour."
At that point, there came an announement over the intercom...
"Good afternoon, passengers. Due to the weight capacity being a bit larger than we expected, this trip will be delayed one hour, resulting in a duration of seven hours total. We are due at our destination at approximately eight o'clock tonight. Within the next few minutes, our beverage service will begin in the dining hall in the main cabin, and lunch will be served at two o'clock. Our crew, your captain, and Mr. Pokemon, who has offered this gracious service to you, wish you ease on your journey."
A seven hour trip... perfect. This meant that Lupin would have enough time to get a decent day's sleep. Once the attendant left the room, he turned off the lights and closed the drapes on the little window, leaving the room in a darkness similar to nighttime. Pleased with this, Lupin took off his coat, revealing a black shirt whose sleeves bunched up a short way past his elbows. He also took off his gloves, and opened his suitcase. After taking out such things as an alarm clock, a charger for his phone, some batteries, and a pill container, he took out what he was looking for: pajama bottoms and a soft red robe. He was just about to change into these when there was a knock on the door, followed by the door opening. The attendant entered and turned the lights back on. As soon as Lupin spotted her, he hid his hands behind his back.
"Lunch will be starting shortly," the attendant announced. "It is requested that you come upstairs."
"What if I prefer to take a little nap instead?" Lupin replied, sounding a tiny bit annoyed.
"It is requested that you come upstairs," the attendant repeated. "By the way, what happened to your neck?"
She was referring to a modestly noticeable scar on Lupin's neck, like that of some sort of recent wound.
"Oh, a Zubat bit me the other day," Lupin answered. This was a lie, but he didn't feel comfortable telling her the truth about it. "Well anyway, I shall be up shortly."
After he was fully dressed again, Lupin entered the dining hall upstairs. Sure enough, the other apprentices were in there, as well as a few random sailors and crew members. Lupin sat at a table by himself right near where many of the other apprentices were sitting. At that time, a waiter approached, carrying a tray of a wide variety of beverages. After serving a banana milkshake to a nearby sailor, he approached one of the apprentice tables, handing out other various beverages and taking orders. He came to Lupin last, placing in front of him a glass of red wine. Lupin gave him a puzzled look.
"...How did you know my order?"
"Oh, just a little gift I have," the waiter replied. "When I look at someone I can tell what kind of beverage they want, or crave in that sailor's case. Or if you want, just a lucky guess. But I'm not so good with guessing food. Now what would you like to eat?"
"Actually, I'm not that hungry," Lupin replied, while taking a brief glance at a menu sitting on the table. "This will do for now."
"The waiter raised an eyebrow. "...Very well then." And then he moved on to the next table.
Minutes later, the waiter arrived again, placing a small pizza in front of Lupin. Again he was puzzled.
"...I didn't order this."
The waiter paused to think a moment. "Oh, forgive me, I have this awful habit of mixing up orders. But don't worry, I'll have them make another one, so you can have this one."
Lupin rolled his eyes after the waiter left. He turned away from the pizza, despising its greasy surface, and started to head out of the hall and back to his room. But before he could leave the hall, the sailor who had the banana milkshake stood up and shouted at him.
"HEY! Whad you dake my vood away vor?" The sailor was shaking his fist at Lupin, and sounded more crabby than anything else.
"You can still have it," Lupin replied, walking away from him. "I didn't touch it."
Then there were thumping noises... the sailor was following him. "Lizen you! I dun lige your addidude. I jallenge you do a Bogeymon baddle!"
"And I don't like the way you talk," Lupin remarked. "Very well, if you insist, I will accept such a challenge."
"Ohohohoho!" the sailor exclaimed. "I az a trong Bogeymon. Ee will grutch you!"
Lupin and the sailor held their battle in a remote corner of the dining hall--the sailor insisted on this so that the crowd could watch his "yumiliading devead". At one end of the makeshift battlefield, the sailor straightened up his sailor's hat, stood up proudly, and took out a Pokeball.
"Go Binzer!"
A Pinsir came out of the Pokeball, clanking his horns together in preparation for battle. Upon seeing this, Lupin smirked and also took out a Pokeball.
"Come on out, Maleficent."
"Hah!" the sailor blurted. "Use Focuz Eneji!"
The Pinsir continued clanking his horns together, leaning forward and staring at his Misdreavus opponent. But this didn't intimidate Maleficent--in fact, she snickered while he did this.
"Why don't you float closer to Pinsir?" Lupin suggested. Maleficent shrugged and inched closer to the oversized beetle.
<"Yeah, you big bully, why don't you attack me?"> she said in Misdreavus language. <"I'm not afraid to die a second time.">
The sailor burst into laughter, pointing at his opponent. "Yeah zats ride, zurrender do my Binzer bower! Binzer, use Vizegrib!"
Pinsir spread his horns wide, gazing at Maleficent and wishing for her demise. But then something clicked in the giant bug's mind... he turned around to face the sailor, an uncertain expression on his face.
"Pinza pinza pinza?" Maleficent knew this meant, "But if I attack a ghost, wouldn't it not be effective?" She nodded in agreement--here was a case where the Pokemon was smarter than the trainer.
"Let's give him a Psywave," Lupin commented, finding this scene rather amusing. (Of course, he couldn't tell what Pinsir was saying.)
Maleficent knew Pinsir was smart for not attacking her, but he still tried to intimidate her, and that was a good enough excuse for her to attack the pest. With a smile on her face and a soft jingle of her necklace, she momentarily closed her eyes, enveloping herself in an aura that slowly became visible. When she opened her eyes again, this aura turned into a pulsing wave of psychic energy, flowing slowly up and down like a mesmerising ribbon. This was as much a spectacle as it was an attack, but it still scored a direct hit to the surprised Pinsir. Knowing that he had no way of doing damage to a Misdreavus, Pinsir ran away, Maleficent chasing after him with more Psywaves.
Eventually Pinsir fainted, and the sailor bowed his head as he returned him to his Pokeball. He rolled up his sleeves, heaved a sigh... and straightened up again all of a sudden, aiming a punch at Lupin's face. But Lupin was able to dodge this punch, after which he started backing away.
"Hey, zad wazzend a vair baddle!" the sailor called after him. After a quick backwards glance from Lupin, the sailor ran after him. Upon reaching him, he grabbed him by the waist with one arm, and went to choke him with the other. Fortuntely, though, Lupin had a little time to react while being choked. His left had reached for something in his pocket, some little gadget or other. Whatever it was, Lupin concealed it in his fist. When his fist lightly touched the sailor's belly, there was a soft crack, and the sailor let go of him, letting out a cry and stumbling backwards. At the same time, Lupin's right hand wandered into the sailor's pocket and managed to transfer a modest amount of money into his sleeve. It was then that Lupin left the hall without saying a word, Maleficent following behind him--though she paused to stick her tongue out at the sailor on the way.
After that rough hour, Lupin finally got into his sleeping clothes, slipping under the blankets on the bed and placing his glasses on the nightstand. Despite what had just happened, he found it easy to fall asleep in that room. And there he would be until the captain made the announcement for the docking in the ferry's destination.

Why would Elm, Lance, or this Mr. Pokemon trust us easily enough so as to treat us like this? Of course, it could be a bribe, it could be motivation--which makes sense, since many of these other apprentices realise the danger of this mission. Perhaps it's just suspicious to me because I'm used to such dangers. I don't even regard this mission as being particularly "dangerous"--the only "danger" I see is in being caught, an action that results from an error in secrecy. But if these other apprentices can't be convincing Rockets, that's their problem. No matter--if in the end I must take on this mission by myself, so it shall be.
As soon as Lupin got upstairs, a group of people came out to greet the apprentices and show them to their rooms. Before too long, a lady in a blue suit came up to Lupin, hand extended.
"Good afternoon Mr. Tasselbury," she greeted as they shook hands. "Please allow me to show you to your room."
The room was nothing particularly special--just a small room with a bed, a nightstand, and a ceiling fan. Immediately Lupin propped his suitase against the wall, and started to unbutton his coat...
"By the way," the attendant mentioned, "lunch will be served in half an hour."
At that point, there came an announement over the intercom...
"Good afternoon, passengers. Due to the weight capacity being a bit larger than we expected, this trip will be delayed one hour, resulting in a duration of seven hours total. We are due at our destination at approximately eight o'clock tonight. Within the next few minutes, our beverage service will begin in the dining hall in the main cabin, and lunch will be served at two o'clock. Our crew, your captain, and Mr. Pokemon, who has offered this gracious service to you, wish you ease on your journey."
A seven hour trip... perfect. This meant that Lupin would have enough time to get a decent day's sleep. Once the attendant left the room, he turned off the lights and closed the drapes on the little window, leaving the room in a darkness similar to nighttime. Pleased with this, Lupin took off his coat, revealing a black shirt whose sleeves bunched up a short way past his elbows. He also took off his gloves, and opened his suitcase. After taking out such things as an alarm clock, a charger for his phone, some batteries, and a pill container, he took out what he was looking for: pajama bottoms and a soft red robe. He was just about to change into these when there was a knock on the door, followed by the door opening. The attendant entered and turned the lights back on. As soon as Lupin spotted her, he hid his hands behind his back.
"Lunch will be starting shortly," the attendant announced. "It is requested that you come upstairs."
"What if I prefer to take a little nap instead?" Lupin replied, sounding a tiny bit annoyed.
"It is requested that you come upstairs," the attendant repeated. "By the way, what happened to your neck?"
She was referring to a modestly noticeable scar on Lupin's neck, like that of some sort of recent wound.
"Oh, a Zubat bit me the other day," Lupin answered. This was a lie, but he didn't feel comfortable telling her the truth about it. "Well anyway, I shall be up shortly."
After he was fully dressed again, Lupin entered the dining hall upstairs. Sure enough, the other apprentices were in there, as well as a few random sailors and crew members. Lupin sat at a table by himself right near where many of the other apprentices were sitting. At that time, a waiter approached, carrying a tray of a wide variety of beverages. After serving a banana milkshake to a nearby sailor, he approached one of the apprentice tables, handing out other various beverages and taking orders. He came to Lupin last, placing in front of him a glass of red wine. Lupin gave him a puzzled look.
"...How did you know my order?"
"Oh, just a little gift I have," the waiter replied. "When I look at someone I can tell what kind of beverage they want, or crave in that sailor's case. Or if you want, just a lucky guess. But I'm not so good with guessing food. Now what would you like to eat?"
"Actually, I'm not that hungry," Lupin replied, while taking a brief glance at a menu sitting on the table. "This will do for now."
"The waiter raised an eyebrow. "...Very well then." And then he moved on to the next table.
Minutes later, the waiter arrived again, placing a small pizza in front of Lupin. Again he was puzzled.
"...I didn't order this."
The waiter paused to think a moment. "Oh, forgive me, I have this awful habit of mixing up orders. But don't worry, I'll have them make another one, so you can have this one."
Lupin rolled his eyes after the waiter left. He turned away from the pizza, despising its greasy surface, and started to head out of the hall and back to his room. But before he could leave the hall, the sailor who had the banana milkshake stood up and shouted at him.
"HEY! Whad you dake my vood away vor?" The sailor was shaking his fist at Lupin, and sounded more crabby than anything else.
"You can still have it," Lupin replied, walking away from him. "I didn't touch it."
Then there were thumping noises... the sailor was following him. "Lizen you! I dun lige your addidude. I jallenge you do a Bogeymon baddle!"
"And I don't like the way you talk," Lupin remarked. "Very well, if you insist, I will accept such a challenge."
"Ohohohoho!" the sailor exclaimed. "I az a trong Bogeymon. Ee will grutch you!"
Lupin and the sailor held their battle in a remote corner of the dining hall--the sailor insisted on this so that the crowd could watch his "yumiliading devead". At one end of the makeshift battlefield, the sailor straightened up his sailor's hat, stood up proudly, and took out a Pokeball.
"Go Binzer!"
A Pinsir came out of the Pokeball, clanking his horns together in preparation for battle. Upon seeing this, Lupin smirked and also took out a Pokeball.
"Come on out, Maleficent."
"Hah!" the sailor blurted. "Use Focuz Eneji!"
The Pinsir continued clanking his horns together, leaning forward and staring at his Misdreavus opponent. But this didn't intimidate Maleficent--in fact, she snickered while he did this.
"Why don't you float closer to Pinsir?" Lupin suggested. Maleficent shrugged and inched closer to the oversized beetle.
<"Yeah, you big bully, why don't you attack me?"> she said in Misdreavus language. <"I'm not afraid to die a second time.">
The sailor burst into laughter, pointing at his opponent. "Yeah zats ride, zurrender do my Binzer bower! Binzer, use Vizegrib!"
Pinsir spread his horns wide, gazing at Maleficent and wishing for her demise. But then something clicked in the giant bug's mind... he turned around to face the sailor, an uncertain expression on his face.
"Pinza pinza pinza?" Maleficent knew this meant, "But if I attack a ghost, wouldn't it not be effective?" She nodded in agreement--here was a case where the Pokemon was smarter than the trainer.
"Let's give him a Psywave," Lupin commented, finding this scene rather amusing. (Of course, he couldn't tell what Pinsir was saying.)
Maleficent knew Pinsir was smart for not attacking her, but he still tried to intimidate her, and that was a good enough excuse for her to attack the pest. With a smile on her face and a soft jingle of her necklace, she momentarily closed her eyes, enveloping herself in an aura that slowly became visible. When she opened her eyes again, this aura turned into a pulsing wave of psychic energy, flowing slowly up and down like a mesmerising ribbon. This was as much a spectacle as it was an attack, but it still scored a direct hit to the surprised Pinsir. Knowing that he had no way of doing damage to a Misdreavus, Pinsir ran away, Maleficent chasing after him with more Psywaves.
Eventually Pinsir fainted, and the sailor bowed his head as he returned him to his Pokeball. He rolled up his sleeves, heaved a sigh... and straightened up again all of a sudden, aiming a punch at Lupin's face. But Lupin was able to dodge this punch, after which he started backing away.
"Hey, zad wazzend a vair baddle!" the sailor called after him. After a quick backwards glance from Lupin, the sailor ran after him. Upon reaching him, he grabbed him by the waist with one arm, and went to choke him with the other. Fortuntely, though, Lupin had a little time to react while being choked. His left had reached for something in his pocket, some little gadget or other. Whatever it was, Lupin concealed it in his fist. When his fist lightly touched the sailor's belly, there was a soft crack, and the sailor let go of him, letting out a cry and stumbling backwards. At the same time, Lupin's right hand wandered into the sailor's pocket and managed to transfer a modest amount of money into his sleeve. It was then that Lupin left the hall without saying a word, Maleficent following behind him--though she paused to stick her tongue out at the sailor on the way.
After that rough hour, Lupin finally got into his sleeping clothes, slipping under the blankets on the bed and placing his glasses on the nightstand. Despite what had just happened, he found it easy to fall asleep in that room. And there he would be until the captain made the announcement for the docking in the ferry's destination.

The time had finally come for Kamora and Aipom to board the boat and go away to their mission. As Kamora and Aipom began to go out the door and on to the boat, Whitney stopped them. "I guess this is it my apprentice, I leave everything else up to you. Stay strong, stay focused, and never give up." Whitney said giving her apprentice a hug. Kamora started to lose consciousness as the gym leader's hug continued. Whitney let go before he fainted from happiness and looked him in the eyes. "Is there anything you wanna say before you go, Kamora?" Kamora looked at Whitney's face and saw she was starting to turn red. At first he thought it was a cold from all the traveling, but then he decided to mock his gym leader one last time.
"Whitney, your face is getting red, does that mean you want a goodbye kiss!" Kamora said with a mocking smile. Whitney looked up "Aipom would you do the honors." Aipom saluted the gym leader and hit Kamora with a furious scratch attack. "It was just a joke Whitney," Kamora said as he fell to the ground. When he recovered he looked Whitney in the eyes again and took her hands in his hands.
"Baby, I promise I will come back to you and when I do I will make you my wife." as Kamora finished his sentence he kissed his gym leader on the cheek and ran. Whitney stood on the dock stunned from Kamora's surprise attack.
"Looks like I dodged a missile there, Aipom. Well let's get cracking!" Kamora looked around the boat and noticed just by being inside the boat was huge. He wondered just how much money Mr.Pokemon must have been packing in his wallet. "He probaly doesn't even know we are in a recession right now and he paying for these big boats. Selfish rich people, always got to show off their money and make us poor people look like chumps." Aipom rolled her eyes as she knew her master was about to go on a rant.
Just as Kamora was about to continue his rant on the failing economy and its troubles, a lady in blue came to him. "Mr.Kamora, your room is on the second floor and is room 5" the lady walked away. Kamora was happy that he knew where his room was and decided to go check it out. As Kamora walked up the stairs and into his room, he saw the another apprentices moving around the ship. "Too bad there are no pretty girls on this ship" he thought as he continued to climb stairs.
When he finally reached his room Kamora, saw it was full of books. He knew just how boring that was and he had to do something. So he grabbed his black bag and started to pull out the tools he needed. Aipom watched her master from the bed. While he continued to ruffle through his bag, a static voice came on the intercom. The voice told the crew and the passengers that the trip would take seven hours rather than six. Kamora smiled, because now he had even more time to decorate his room.
Kamora pulled from his bag, a big roll of posters. "It took me forever to get these and now I can finally out them on my wall." He opened his posters and revealed them to be swimsuit posters of Whitney. Aipom screeched in shock as she saw the posters. Kamora gazed at the posters and ignored the screeching. "I am so glad I made all those trades just to get these limited edition posters. I couldn't put them in my room at the gym, because Whitney would have killed me. However, now I am all alone and I can put them everywhere and anywhere I want. This is the good life." Kamora said as he felt himslef about to faint.
Aipom, consumed with rage, snatched the posters away and ran out of the room. Kamora recovered from his trance and followed his partner. "Aipom, I worked really hard for those, give them back!" Kamora was possessed as he ran down the hallway as if he had extremespeed. Aipom kept running and then jumped to a nearby crate. Aipom laughed as she saw her master unable to reach her. After all she was a monkey Pokemon, which meant she was good at jumping and climbing. Kamora looked on as his posters faded away.
As Kamora was about to give up hope he saw a Zubat go by. He grabbed the Zubat by its wings. Zubat turned around ready to attack, but stopped when it saw Kamora's face. "You are going to do me a favor and defeat my Aipom." Zubat was so scared it prepared to attack. It flew after Aipom, afraid of what Kamora might do if he caught it.
Zubat targeted Aipom and started to plead with her. "Zubat, zubat, zubat, zubat!(If I don't get those posters back, I'm a dead Pokemon!)" said the Zubat frantically. Aipom was thinking. "Aipom, aipom!(Defeat me and you can have them back!)"
The Pokemon began to battle. Zubat started off with astonish, but it proved to be ineffective against Aipom. She laughed at the Pokemon's failed attempt and delivered a scratch attack. Zubat flew away as to gain distance from another scratch attack. Zubat then delivered a supersonic, hoping to confuse Aipom, which it did. Aipom was now unable to keep her balance on the crate. As she moved back and forth, Zubat tried to use the opportunity to grab the posters. However, Aipom jumped up onto Zubat's back. Aipom was confused, and Kamora could see it. "Oh I forgot that Aipom is the worst Pokemon you want to have confused. She does the most random moves. I'm sorry Zubat."
Zubat tried to shake Aipom off, but was unable to as she wrapped her tail around his little waist. She pulled Zubat down and both Pokemon crashed down onto the floor. The crash had awoken Aipom from her confusion, but knocked Zubat out. When she realized where she was Aipom, ran further away from Kamora. This time she ran into the dining hall. She ran right into a sailor that was running from a lost battle. Kamora took this opportunity to capture his Aipom. "Give me my posters, partner!" Kamora said as he tickled her into submission. She released the posters and Kamora released her. "Glad you could see it my way. Since we are here at the dining hall let's eat." "Aipom!" said the monkey Pokemon.
Kamora and Aipom grabbed their food and began to chow down. While the food wasn't as good as Whitney's home cooking, it still satisfied their empty bellies. With their food devoured the partners returned to their room. Kamora grabbed his posters and began putting them on the walls in his room. However, as he put them up, he saw they had been damaged by the battle. Aipom started to roll on the floor laughing, as Kamora sulked in the corner. "Those were my limited edition posters of Whitney. Why is this happening to me!" Kamora rolled into his bed with tears rolling down his eyes. Aipom jumped on top of his bed and slept as well.
"Whitney, your face is getting red, does that mean you want a goodbye kiss!" Kamora said with a mocking smile. Whitney looked up "Aipom would you do the honors." Aipom saluted the gym leader and hit Kamora with a furious scratch attack. "It was just a joke Whitney," Kamora said as he fell to the ground.
