OOC: Ohh...nice picceh, Plushie! I especially love the expressions on Akeru and Makamo! Yoku and Piro are real cute with their shades and all too, and the rest of them are well done as well. ^-^ You really pwn when it comes to making expressions, Plushie! Here, have a cookie. *Gives cookie*

Anyways, I think it's about time for a premature tournament announcement. >D *Cracks fingers* Well okay, it's really just the announcement of the city clear-up for the tournament, but it should cause a little stirr. XD

IC:

"Iris!" Vincent called sharply as a foreign file began downloading itself into the database, "Interrupt that download immediately! Iris!" the securit chief slammed his fist into the table with such force that the cup of coffee on top of it leapt a bit up into the air, part of the brown liquid splattering out and staining the desk. Vincent didn't care however, scrambling for the mouse again and quickly selecting as many files as he could from the folder and punching delete, watching with some satisfication as a little taskbar appeared on the screen, tracking the process. He would rather sacrifice the reports than let them out, and besides, they would hardly be lost forever, just dismembered and marked for overwriting. He could gather them together just as soon as the situation was solved. The securit chief's expression darkened however, as the taskbar suddenly ground to a halt, another window popping up and declaring that the files couldn't be accessed anymore.

"Son of a-!" Vincet had a good mind to strangle someone just to relieve his stress, but decided against it, collecting his witts and activating the microphone on his headset instead, "Hello, announcements department?" he asked.

"Yes sir?" came a voice from the other end of the connection.

"It's time to announce the preparatory clear up for Undercity."

"What? Already?" the other person protested, "But the tournament doesn't start until-"

"Do it!" Vincent interrupted, "That's an order."

"Y-yes sir!" the other one replied hastily before a little klick became audible, signalling that the connection had been cut.

Vincent leaned back, now reduced to little more than simply waiting for how things would work out until Iris came back in contact with him. Well, the Porygon 2 had already confirmed that the offending computer was somewhere within the city limits, with a little luck, this particular rat would be running the show with a public computer to throw any surveilance equipment of his trail, and if he was...well, then the intrusion would end up being short-lived indeed.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the cybernetic void, Iris was vaguely aware of a projectile heading her way, at first at loss about what to do. The Zap Cannon was charged and ready, but Vincent had specifically told her to wait for his mark, so she held onto the energy. In the end, however, just a moment before the Tri Attack would have reached her, the virtual pok?mon's self-preservation programing kicked in however, and she did the one thing that came naturally...releasing the whole payload straight at the target she had already pin-pointed, the charge of energy firing forward to meet the combination of fire, ice, and lightning, the two projectiles meeting just a bit away from the Porygon 2...and, unlike in a conventional battle situation, passing straight through each other, each heading for their own target with unyeilding accuracy.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Attention all citizens!" the loudspeakers all throughout both Overcity and Undercity boomed, "Repeat, attention all citizens! The clear up for the tournament will now start! All private homes, as well as stores, hotels, and other bussinesses within Undercity are to be closed down and secured without delay and all citizens and visitors are kindly asked to relocate themselves to Overcity as quickly as possible. The train, and subway system will also be locked down for the duration of the tournament, and the harbor will be sealed off to protect it from collateral damage. Contest participants please wait for further instructions. Waiwai Inc. does not assume any liability for any personal or material damage caused by the tournament. Thank you."
 
OOC: Cute piccie Plushie! As said before, I love the expressions! The FBI attitude is great! Nothing like an Ursaring posing in FBI sunglasses. ^.^

Oh yeah, and I'll try and post in Showgan later... I've got to let my eyes rest. @.@


Reina
-----------

{Hm...,} mused Tabansi as he listened to the little Mawile, {Yes you had probably better point out your Papa.} His wings clicked and hummed a bit, and he peered around too, trying to look for anyone who looked distraught.

"Wait... is this a girl or boy we're looking for?" Reina asked, a bit confused.

{A boy,} Tabansi answered.

"Ah, okay, then that changes the idea of what 'Papa' looks like just a bit," Reina said, transforming the image in her head to one that was a younger boy that was 'in touch with his feminine side'. She then began to look for people that fit the new description.

Compared to her two friends, Pixie was using another way to find the trainer. She relied on not eyes to see, but her psychic sense and vibrations from the ground and objects around her. She tried her best to sense the little Mawile's trainer. It was very difficult with so many people around though, and she wasn't having much luck.

That's when the announcement was made, and Reina felt a bit of panic rise in her. She had to find this Mawile's trainer fast. After all, what if her trainer wasn't in the tournament? Then they would be separated for quite some time. Reina wasn't a master of other people's feelings, but she certainly knew what it would be like for a trainer to lose a beloved pokemon.

"Aw... man!" she grunted, feeling frustrated, "Let's go! Come on...!"

Pixie seemed to be concentrating, {I... I think he's nearby....}

Reina ignored Pixie though and rushed forward, glancing that strange fortune-teller Ostria out of the corner of her eye. As she thought about the woman's strange and mysterious prediction, and then Ninetails that had come for her, she ran into someone.

"Hey! Watch it buddy! I'm holding a lost Mawile here!" Reina snapped, feeling annoyed at both herself and the boy she had bumped into. Pixie jumped.

{That's him! That's Papa!} she trilled, pointing to the boy.

Reina recognized him as the scary boy from earlier. It took her a second to recognize him without the large gaggle of girls surrounding him.

"You...? You're Papa?!" Reina said with a tone of surprise showing through.

{Oh my... perhaps it would be best not to enrage him Reina... he looks to be almost as dangerous as that Aggron,} Tabansi warned wisely. He didn't really like the looks of this.

OOC - not much I can do in an IC post until charon or mika reply :)
dat is teh awesome'ness drawing though, sableye looks drunk! teehee.
Emerald is great! got it a couple of days ago, just got to where i battle team aqua with steven as my partner, thats a good addition to the game lol.
 
{ooc| Plush, your picture rocks! Ph33r t3h FBI 4ttitud3 xD}

Rosairie's smile stretched into a proud grin, as Jeffery commented on her pokemon. The ivysaur's own expression was exactly the same. He shook himself down, his leaves moving with a lucious motion.
{'Dis boy has good taste,} he commeted in his lazy gangster-style drawl, {He knows which pokemon kick...}
Henna pulled a face. {You're an idiot, Sinbad.} She declared. Before inbad could answer back, Rosairie jumped in. She could smell an arguement between her pokemon a mile away, and she was the sort of girl that really liked to burn the bridge before she had even crossed them.

"Well, these four do..." she told JJ, gesturing to the four beside her, "but the Minun... she belongs to me friend... I don't know where her trainer is...." Rosairie trailed off, as an announcement boomed out on loudpseaker. Silence leapt off his chair and skittered off to shiver behind Rosairie. Henna grunted, and shushed the others.
{listen!} she hissed.

The girl and her pokemon listened carefully to the announcement, occasionally exchanging smug glances. Even Silence slunk out from behind his trainer, if only for a second, and gave the others a beaming smile.
As the message drew to a close, Rosairie clapped her hands.
"C'mon, quick, finish up!" she urged, and her pokemon did their best to bolt down the rest of their pokechow. Rosairie stowed away the bowls, threw her backpack over her back, and turned to JJ. "Do you want to come with us?" she asked.
Her pokemon were already jostling with each other to stand behind their trainer. They were excited. They were proud. They were confident. In the end, Silence won; the lithe little Jolteon slipped in neatly between her heels and Henna.

{ooc| Yey, lyk, contest!!11}
 
Minun blinked, slightly annoyed at being talked to as "somebody else's pokemon" when she was trully the only pokemon that was worth looking at there... at least in her own little mind, which was the only mind that mattered anyways, and she wasn't exactly going to be outdone. Rosairie's shoulder looked quite open for the taking and she scampered up it, nuzzling her new perch's neck before curling up o so cutely.

Kyoko blinked, suddenly standing as she noticed that the yellow sack sitting next to her wasn't a Minun. She looked through the deep pockets of her jeans, (Yes she believed a minun could fit in her pocket) before hitting the ground and looking under every single table, quickly becoming a frantic fuzzball.



ooc

Charon-nee might 'plain it more but I'm sick. ??; Again. I got sick before, then my parents got it and now they've given it back. So yeah. Please dun mind the crappy posts, I feel like a snorlax that got woken up too soon. @.@
 
{ooc| Yeah, Mika is quite prone to illness, and once again she is feeling terrible and can hardly sit up. I am providing her with lovely FMA pictures, and virtual hugs, so let's hope she gets better soooon... Luff chu!}

Vampress hissed loudly as the minun scooted past her, Sinbad grunted, and Henna let out a little 'eh?' of suprise. As usual, Silence didn't make a sound, and he stepped aside to make way for the little electric type.

Rosairie glanced at Minna as she leapt onto her shoulder, and picked up the minun around her waist. "What... on earth...?" she blinked curiously, and pulled the creature closer. "Hello, sweetums, where's your trainer?" Rosairie, it turned out, was looking in completely the wrong direction.
Vampress coughed loudly. She could see Kyoko out of the corner of her eye, but watching humans worry was one of her favourite sports. How frantic they grew, how desperate! It brought a tear of glee to her eye....
 
(ooc- T~T I'm so stressed lately.... Mweh. ;; )


Kyoko was scampering under tables, chairs, behind boxes and doors until she suddenly gave up on trying and sat back down, head in her hands. "Nii-san... is going to be furious... Minna's run off, the competition starts soon, I've only eaten half my obento and I have no idea as to where the heck I am... Oiiih...." She groaned softly, rubbing her forehead with her forefinger and thumb.

Minna blinked, ducking behind Rosairie's head... She'd most certinally been a bad mousie... as Kyoko's mutterings were quickly becoming louder and audible and anybody with a brain could tell from her movements as to which direction they were coming from
 
OOC: Amen, BB, amen. Emerald is the pwnage to pwn all other pwnages! Just wait until you get to the Battle Frontier, I promise you won't be dissapointed. *Huggles Battle Frontier* ^-^ Still, wasn't it Team Magma you had to fight off with Steven's help? o.O Because I just have this very clear memory of facing two Camerupts at once. Anyways, that doesn't change the fact that Emerald pwns. A word of advice for the future, though; don't evolve Lotad straight away. Lotad learns Mist, Mega Drain and Rain Dance, during the same course of levels as Lombre gets Fake Out, Role Play, Fury Swipes, and Thief, and needless to say, the Lotad moves are far better suited for a final set. Out of curiosity, what movesets do your pok?mon have? Sorry if that seems nosy, I just have this bad habit of rating people's movesets, as Plushie would know by now. XD

Anyways,

IC:

As the announcement rang through the city, infusing the crowd with even more motion than before, Valen's agitation grew further, and this agitation was by no means lessened when another person came charging into him, this time too suddenly for him to make a dodge. And to top it all, this stranger came with an attitude as well.

Valen turned angrily towards the offender, wearing his fiercest expression and opening his mouth in preparation of releasing a sentence which was...well, to call it colorfull would have been an understatement, but he shut it just as quickly when something else came to take up his attention, something small and metallic which lunged straight at him.

{Papa!} Kachiko exclaimed, instantly leaping out of Reina's hands and straight at the boy, attempting to grab a hold of his neck but slipping, latching onto the necklace of metallic beads he wore instead.

"Kachiko!" Valen couldn't help shouting the name out loud as he grabbed a secure hold of the Mawile with both hands, lifting her up with a mixture of relief and shock on his face "Kachiko." he repeated sternly, locking eyes with the steel type, "What were you thinking, rushing headlong off into the street like that?! Don't you have any idea of how dangerous that is?!"

{I-I'm sorry, papa!} Kachiko cried out in response, tears beginning to well up in her eyes, {B-but, there was this-this person, and-and she had this pretty butterfly, and-and I just wanted to-}

"It-it's allright..." Valen said, wiping away the Mawile's tears. Despite his general disgust for 'weak' feelings of any kind, the boy somehow couldn't help treasuring the little steel type's innocent and childish behaviour, even though he spent an equal amount of time lamenting it "But don't ever do that again. Do you understand me, Kachiko?" he looked the Mawile in the eyes, his voice stern, "Not ever."

{M-hm...} the little Mawile replied, managing to surpress her sadness, {Not ever.} she repeated dutifully, {Not ever, ever!}

Valen gave the steel type a small smile, "Good girl." he replied, stroking Kachiko's head before becoming painfully aware of that the girl he had run into was still there, and that she had now seen the whole proceedings. The boy felt a rush of shame build up within him for being so carelessly open about his feelings again, quickly placing the Mawile on his shoulder before turning to respond to Reina's question;

"Yes, I'm papa." he replied in a level voice, his eyes bearing a slightly dangerous glint, Go ahead... they seemed to say, Go ahead, make fun of it. I dare you...
 "Or so my Mawile has chosen to refer to me as." he continued, his voice still carefully calm and polite, "You will have to excuse her if she has caused any trouble. She still has a child's mind and a child's sense of discipline, I'm afraid."

As he spoke, Valen made a point of carefully studying the girl in front of her. Yes, she was definitely female, but she wore an attire more masculine than some of the things he had seen 'boys' his age wear. And judging by her initial reaction and general manner, she wasn't one of those sickeningly weak, dainty, girly-girls who ran off screaming the moment they saw a little Spinarak. It was Reina's luck, perhaps, that she was so far in both appearance and manner from the people Valen despised most, not to mention that she had returned Kachiko and that the Mawile was still present, making any serious and immidiate retribution for the offence of running into him a less prefered option. And finally, there was her pok?mon...on this subject Valen was a bit indescisive; on one hand, she had one of those sickeningly girly starfish pok?mon...what were they called again? Oh yes, Staryu. And it seemed to be a particularly small and fidgety one at that. But on the other hand, the girl was also accompanied by a far more capable looking Heracross, a hardy breed and a worthy pok?mon in Valen's book. This one seemed a good bit smarter than the Staryu too, immediately whispering giving a couple of words of advice to her trainer.

Kachiko's eyes widened at Tabanasi's statement, the Mawile bursting into a fit of giggles at the end of it {P-papa dangerous?} she managed to get out between her giggles, {Now you're being silly, cool bug-like new person! Papa is the nicest, strongest, bestest papa there is! He's not dangerous!}
 
OOC - lol, yep tea magma, that was it lol.
and i don't mind ur asking, i like to talk about it actually lol, i have not evolved my lombre, although i have the stone, he knows
surf
absorb
thief
fake out

fake out has actually been a real help of a move, i was underating it greatly before using it myself. also a question, does lombre not learn razor leaf? i would have thought he did as he does on the anime, not that i assume the game and anime have to be the same (hyper beam hey titan ;)) just curious really.

also, sorry charon and mika, i've just got back from Drama, and im very tired, forgive my extremely idiotic question, but what just happened? did mika's minun just run off? and did rosaire catch it? dang i need some sleep lol.
 
{ooc| My emerald game still hasn't arrived. Our postal service is in upheaval so everything is slow right now. xP}

"Where is she, sweetie pea? Where's she gone?" Rosairie cooed, talking to the little minun like a baby - even though she probably had more brains than the girl herself. Meanwhile, Vampress's expression was growing sourer with each passing second. Eventually, all the cooing got too much.
{Hey, Rozz, is that what you're looking for?} The golduck asked, jerking her thumb over her shoulder in the direction of Kyoko.
Rosairie blinked stupidly. "So it is..." she poked Minna. "Go on, get. Go back to your trainer." she urged, and she bent down and put the little mouse on the ground.
Rosairie stood back up. "Kyoko!" she called, cupping her hands to her mouth, "C'mon! The tournament starts soon!" Rosairie didn't wait for an answer. She was too eager to start battling, as were her pokemon.

Henna, who had been scannig the crowds, tugged at Rosairie's sleeve. {Hey, Rozzie, look. It's that Mawile we met earlier.}
Rosairie only allowed her eyes to fall on Valen for a split second. "Looks like that boy's found himself a he-she to hang out with. I mean, who does she think she is, dressing like a darned man?" she commented dryly.

{Gosh, someone slap her. And BB, Rosairie and Kyoko are still right where they were when you left us. Kyoko's just realised her Minun's missing, and Rosairie had had her the whole time.}
 
OOC - Thankies :) *gives pie*

IC - Jeffery watched the small scene unfold with a smile on his face.
once minnun had been returned he turned back to the girl with the Ivysaur
''Yeah, sure, i'll come with you 2'' he beamed at her.

''So Buddy'' he adressed his grass pokemon confidently ''are you ready?''
Grovyle raised an eyebrow
{do you really need to ask that question?}
he flicked a smile before jumping ontop of his masters head again

Jeffery laughed and scratched his nose.


What sort of competition would they be coming across? jeffery was of course willing and excited to be taking on new trainers, seeing their pokemon and their battle styles, but most of all.....try his absolute hardest, and try to emerge from the ceremony victorious. He frowned slightly as he thought of his grandfather, he would have proberly called up his mum again to see how he was, but perhaps that wasn't the best idea, he had to keep his concentration on the matter at hand...besides, his phone was broken. his heart skipped painfully as this painful thought jumped back into his head. How was he going to get by without his phone?.....oh well, he'd worry about that later.

The 3 walked out of the cafe and JJ stared across the hall at that girl with the marshtomp and the pidgey, cona was her name? she seemed like an interesting girl.
he then noticed that one of his companions was discussing something with her pokemon, JJ looked at the direction they were looking and saw......that boy.

it was the same one who he'd seen earlier, with the SRbok, although this time he was.....he was with Reina!

''There she is'' he muttered to himself,

JJ was somewhat comforted by the Arbok's disapearence, not that it neccacarily scared him, but it seemed to get a lot of people depressed, and Grovyle didn't seem to be in it's fan club.
This boy, whose name Jeffery was sure was Valen, interested him a lot, although he hadn't really seen anything to be a good reason to be suspicious of him, but the boy did seem to for no apparant reason dispise him.
JJ looked away, he didn't want Valen to catch him staring at him, and give him reason to hate him more then he already obviously did, whatever that reason might be.....

he turned to the two girls with him
''so....i forgot to ask, what are your names'' he forced a smile as he tried to get thoughts of valen, back, out of his mind.
 
OOC:

ZOMG COOKIE! O.O

*bye-bye cookie*

Yes, Plushie ish glad that you all know how to ph33r t3h FBI attitude. XDDDD

Oh, and BB (Charon as well), Titan speaks the truth, Emerald is the 3rd generation game to end all 3rd generation games.. You two will not be disappointed when you beat the Elite Four in your games, just as Titan has proclaimed.

[end Emerald worship]

Bleh, it feels like I'm making such an out-of-date post in this IC.. XD

Oh, and BB, I thought Seirini wasn't out of her Pokeball at the moment..?



IC:



Avery could've sworn that a little of her died inside every time Kuner jabbed at some random stranger in the crowd with that beak of his, succeeding in clearing a path for Cona and herself to walk through, but at the same time ripping her chances of making any more aquaintances to shreds. Tiny, unnoticable shreds.

She was so busy dying inside that she barely listened to what Ostria was saying when Cona had run into her, staring straight past the fortune-teller and wondering if the situation could get any more embarassing. Some of those strangers that Kuner had poked were still glaring at them..

Suddenly Fable coughed rather loudly, forcing the girl to her senses at the same time that Cona finally let go of her arm.

She now stared at Ostria, opening her mouth to say something but was interrupted by the announcement that was ringing throughout the city, instructing citizens to clear out Undercity.

{Ooh! Why, I never! How could you leave me behind like that?} Skarka exclaimed, finally catching up to the group as the announcement came to an end. Yes, she was rather slow.. {If I hadn't caught sight of the lucky one.. Kuner, was it? Yes, if I hadn't, then I'd be hopelessly lost! The-}

At this point, the Duskull was interrupted by Ostria, much like Avery had been with the announcement.

"Well, come on, dearie, the kind announcer said that contest competitors should wait! You will allow me to give you a reading during that time, won't you, dearie?" The fortune-teller said, throwing a grin at Avery, not sparing a glance at the rather agitated Duskull in the air, nor the awkward-looking Sableye clinging to the girl's leg.

"How did you.." Avery began, but then decided it was best not to ask. "Alright, then. Sure. Why not?" She replied, tilting her head slightly, now forgetting about the now slightly more frantic crowd around the group.

Ostria nodded, her smile fading as she started moving her hands about with dramatic gestures, attempting to add to that effect by humming slightly, closing her eyes and appearing to concentrate. The fortune-teller continued to behave in this way for several more seconds or so, before finally she began to speak.

"I see.." The old woman began, continuing to make dramatic gestures in the air. "I see.. Hmm.. I see something flashing.. Like metal, or.. Or some kind of jewelry. And I see.. A small black creature. Very blurry, though, dearie.. Can't make it out." Ostria concluded, ending her hand gestures and opening her eyes.

"Sorry, dearie, I cannot directly interpret what this means at the time. Perhaps you'll find out soon enough." The old woman said, smiling nonetheless.

"Well.. Okay.. Thanks anyways. Now come on, Cona, we've gotta find Valen." Avery said, managing a small smile at Ostria before turning towards Cona.

{Well, I say.. Flashing jewelry. Does that mean lunch?} Fable said from his spot on Avery's leg, grinning hungrily.

No! Chain slammed his fist into his palm, his green eyes flashing with frustration. The tournament wasn't meant to start until later today. So, why now . . . The trainer's fist slowly relaxed as a thought crossed his mind. Waiwai Inc. wouldn't start the tournament early just so I . . . Well, I suppose it's a possiblity . . . Either way, there's not much more I can do now. Sighing slightly, Chain typed a command into the keyboard.

--------------------------------------------

After releasing its attack, Porygon began to withdraw its Protect from the area, allowing a few connections to return to the network. Then, as a fully charged Zap Cannon shot toward it, it received a single command from its trainer: Log out. The cybernetic Pokemon obeyed promptly, vanishing as blast of digital electricity grazed its disappearing form.

---------------------------

"Circuit, you were damaged?" Chain asked as his damaged Pokemon appeared at the corner of his monitor. A written explanation began to form itself on the screen, Chain cancelled the detailed account with another command.

"Upload an anti-virus to WaiWai Inc.'s systems and delete all traces of our virus."

"Action not neccessary. Download cancelled," appeared on the screen before the trainer.

"Cancelled? Hm. I suppose we'll need to be faster next time. Very well . . . Unlock the folder and return, Porygon." A ruby light flashed from the monitor, into the device connected to the computer, out the port, and into the Premier Ball that hung from Chain's necklace. Lightly tapping the white sphere, Chain halted the download of files, checked to verify that the file was unlocked, and unplugged the device from the computer. Pocketing the object, Chain strode around the corner toward the counter of the internet cafe, Sneasel following behind him.

"Here." Chain dropped several coins on the counter. "That enough?"

Counting the money, the man checked his logs of computer usage. "For your time . . . Um, yes. Your change is--"

"--Keep the change," Chain interrupted before abruptly turning and exiting the building.
 
"Best be off on your way now,dearies!Get ready for the competition!"Ostria nodded warmly as Avery smiled,gesturing to the purple-haired youth,the girl with a Herocross and blonde which had just joined the two not too far from them.

"I believe they are the ones you are looking for?"she said with a grin on her face.Cona gave the fortune teller a bow.Feebas,was this woman good or what?

"I'll meet up with the rest of you dearies sooner or later.Yes,I can sense that.Its a very strong possiblity,and aura!But now.."Ostria sweeped into an extremely low bow,it was a wonder her back didn't crack from the pressure.She then folded her shawls back to their original positions as she straightened herself.

"I must close my stall,dearie dears."she finished,giving Avery and Cona a gentle push towards the direction where Reina and the two boys were gathered.

The girl waved,delighted as the woman proceeded to gather her crystal ball,tarot cards.Well everything in that stall of hers.She then grabbed onto Avery's arm and proceeded to continue tugging her towards Valen,Reina and JJ.Was that Rosairie she had noticed staring at the dude and his Mawile?

{What's all this hullaballu about?}Kuner landed onto Krys' head,upon hearing his name being called out by Skarka.

{Lunch?But the tournaments starting already..}Krystal sighed sadly as he rubbed his stomach.The Marshtomp had completely forgotten that he had consumed a wheel of cheese not too long back.
 
Yuppers, i know plushie, thats what i said, perhaps u misread my wording from when i spoke ''There she is'' (was talking about reina, and then went aruptly into talk about serini, sorry, should have made that a little more clearer accept this doughnut as a token of my apology *gives doughnut*
 
OOC: Brilliant, just brilliant...here I am without really having anything to post. XD Oh well, I shall do some OOC stuffers instead. First off, BB, when telling about movesets it's good if you not only give the movest but also other relevant information such as the nature (Major factor), hold item, trait, and, if you know them, EVs of the pok?mon, because a good moveset relies on all these things. The standard notation is the one Plushie uses;

Species**Nickname/Level (Optional, some people get pissed off if they see levels here, though)
@ (Hold item here)
Nature: (Add what stat it strengthens and what stat it weakens if you know)
Trait:
Moves:

As an example, this is a pok?mon from my team, in quotes, because I can. XD (Moveset still under construction obviously ^^);

Example Stuffer said:
Camerupt**Baku, level 33
@ Nothing
Nature: Brave (+Attack, -Speed)
Trait: Magma Armor
Moves:
Rock Slide
Magnitude
Ember
Amnesia
Click to expand...
There, if you ever want to get your movesets rated by one of the 'official' raters around here then you more or less have to use that format.

Anyways, concerning your Lombre, I've overlined the moves I don't believe it should have, and added suggestions in bold, and comments in cursive like I always do.

Baker's Bulbasaur said:
@ Leftovers
surf
absorb Giga Drain
thief Ice Beam
fake out Rain Dance

Okays, you didn't specify the trait/nature so I feel obliged to provide two separe sets. Yeah, Fake Out is fun and all but Lombre and Ludicolo just lack the physical power to make it really worthwhile, and there are plenty of moves that could do it more good. First of all, Rain Dance is a must for all of Lotad's evolutionary forms if you really want to raise them to their potential since both possible traits only work in rain. The set above is for a Lombre/Ludicolo with the 'Swift Swim' trait; Giga Drain is there because, despite its lack of PP, it's the strongest Grass move that Lotad's evolution line can get, unless you consider Solarbeam an option which I don't since they need Rain Dance like living things need water, and Ice Beam is there to counter grass, flying, and dragon types, Salamence gaining a special mention here. Together, Surf, Ice Beam, and Giga Drain will grant you full type coverage (I.e. You can hit any pok?mon in the game with at least normal effectiveness.) although it's still vulnerable against Shedinja, I'm afraid. Other than that, Rain Dance makes this set a force to be reckoned with because it will not only grant resistance against fire types, but will also increase Surf's power by 50% and Lombre's speed by 10% (The latter because of Swift Swim). This set can work with Rain Dish too, but it won't be quite as effective due to the lack of speed. Anyways, concerning your question; Yes, Lotad/Lombre can get Razor Leaf, but only through breeding. You'd need a male from a species like Bulbasaur or possibly a Tropius, but that would also mean that you'd need not only to breed the two, assuming you have a female Lotad/Lombre, and hatch the egg, but also start training from a level 5 Lotad again. If you do choose to do so, however, I'd suggest getting Leech Seed while you're at it, because that move is pwnsome. Here's an optional set which works best with breeding and Rain Dish;

@Leftovers
Nature: Preferably Bold (+Defense, -Attack) or Modest (+Sp.Attack, -Attack)
Trait: Rain Dish
Moves:
Surf
Leech Seed/Toxic
Substitute
Rain Dance/Ice Beam

This is quite an efficient mix between a tank and a staller. Basically, you're aiming to hit your opponent with Leech Seed and then simply wear them out with Substitute. The additional HP gain from Leech Seed combined with that from the Leftovers should ensure that you always have enough HP to make a sub, especially when you get the Rain Dish boost (Assuming that you've managed to get a Rain Dance up) which will make it practically impossible for your opponent to cause any damage as long as you can keep those subs coming. Grass types are a bit of a problem because they are immune to Leech Seed and tend to be part Poison which makes them immune to the Toxic variety as well, so you could also in this case consider replacing Rain Dance with Ice Beam to take care of those. Although the damage boost to Surf from Rain Dance combined with STAB and Ludicolo's high Sp.Attack should be enough to sweep away most Grass types anyway. Regardless, this set is a guaranteed headache for human players who will probably spend half their time trying to shake the Leech Seeds of by switching. ^-^

Regardless, I'd suggest evolving your Lombre with a Water Stone at this point (Lol, I can already see Yibber cringing from the Ludi. XD) because the only moves it's going to learn by level up are Uproar and Hydro Pump, and neither of them are worth it.

Well, there ya' go. Any possibility of seeing the others too? I'm on a roll, and rating movesets always makes me feel smart. XDDD

Now whose fault would that be?! XD Erm, yeah, well, my eyes feel loads better today, so I'm sure I'll be posting lots. Yesterday I made the mistake of playing Fire Emblem for like 30 minutes, and killed my eyes (darned game!! >_<), so I didn't come back on to post.

*reads Charon's post* Dude... Reina's gonna kill Rosairie if she ever says something like that to her face. And Reina doesn't do girly-slaps and pull hair; she punches. ^-^;;

Yay, more movesets! I should bring out my Crystal game and see what I've got on it. Could be quite funny. ^^


Reina
----------------

"Oh," Reina said with even more surprise, considering the boy didn't look like someone who would ever speak so politely or behave to his pokemon so softly, "Nah, she wasn't too much trouble. It's kinda funny though, I expected a little girl or something to own such a cute pokemon, not well... you." She didn't say it with disgust or dissapointment; on the contrary, she much preferred the boy in front of her to a screaming girl with pigtails and a dress. They just weren't the kind of people she got along with.

{Hm?} Tabansi said, his wings ceasing to click as he took note of the Mawile's tone of voice, {My apologies Kachiko, this is the second time you've said that to me. I should believe you; I suppose appearances can be decieving. Very well, I shall consider Papa the nicest, strongest, bestest Papa there is.} The Heracross was actually getting used to referring to the boy as 'Papa', though he didn't quite realize it.

Pixie seemed quite shy, and didn't exactly like the vibrations she got from the boy as he had looked at her. That didn't really surprise her too much though, most boys weren't very appreciative of Staryu. He probably thought her weak and timid; and he'd be right.

"Yes, well, that's that, so now I guess--," Reina began, but was interrupted by Tabansi.

{Shouldn't we introduce ourselves Reina?} the Heracross suggested kindly.

Reina sighed a bit, "Ugh... fine. Tabansi my Heracross wants me to introduce myself. I have actually done this several times today, and I think it's really boring, so excuse me if I sound bored. I'm Reina, this is Tabansi--" she pointed to her wing-clicking Heracross, "--and this is my Staryu, Pixie. She's shy and stuff so she'll probably hide behind my legs as I introduce her." Reina bent her head to peek down and around her legs. Sure enough Pixie was hiding.

{H-Hello...,} she squeaked in her quiet, feminine Staryu voice, {P-Pleased to m-meet you.}

"Yeah, okay Tabansi I did it," Reina said to the bug-type with a slight frown. He always embarrassed her with this, now it looked like she wanted to join his fan club of girls. Where were those girls anyway? Reina didn't really want to be around when they showed up... especially that one girl... what was her name? Rosallie? Something like that; Reina was really no good with names.
 
OOC: Gee...I have no idea. XD Anyways, yeah, that's the bad side of Fire Emblem...it's so addictive...but congratulations on the bettering of the condition of your eyes! (Can't seem to fit any more 'of's in there) ^0^

And Rosairie vs Reina? XDDD Dang, that would be a sight, and a lesson in humility for Rosairie. >D

On the subject of movesets...hehee, the more the merrier. *Rubs hands together gleefully* I love movesets, only I tastefully dislike the people in the movesets section so I refuse to go anywhere near that place for anything more than a quick rating of a random team. Basically it's filled with a lot of people who all think they're moveset gods but wouldn't know a functioning ingame moveset even if it snuck up on them in the night and chewed their toes while they slept. <.<

Anyways, at long last...

IC:

Valen grimaced inwardly at the picture that built up in his head at Reina's comment, experiencing a strong urge to throttle that particular figment of his imagination. Needless to say, it wasn't a pleasant sight for him "That's...quite a picture you're drawing up." he said, still maintaining a neutral voice, "One which I'm glad not to identify myself with, although I suppose that Kachiko does...create certain expectations." he cast a sideward glance at the Mawile who had just taken up singing a rather awkward song about pretty butterflies which she had apparently just thought up.

As Reina tried to leave the conversation just like that, only to be stopped by her Heracross, Valen failed to surpress a faint smile, although he was quick to hide it again as the girl turned back to him, introducing herself and her pok?mon in a definitely non-enthusiastic voice and immediately shifting any possible blame on the bug type next to her whom she had introduced as 'Tabanasi' by claiming that the whole thing was his idea. This girl certainly wasn't like the others he had met this far; she wasn't a spoiled, rich brat who expected every member of the male species to fawn over her at first sight like Rosairie, she wasn't an annoyingly cheerfull and upbeat little girl like Avery, and she certainly wasn't certifiably insane like Cona. Had she been a couple of years younger, Reina could have passed for a boy in a heartbeat, both by her attire, which even Valen noticed as being slightly unco-ordinated colourwise, and her rough-hewn manner, and her blunt honesty was definitely a refreshing change from all the fake expressions and forced manners that he had been forced to endure throughout the day, immediately causing the girl to rank far lower on the annoyingness scale than the others Valen had met.

The boy merely nodded as Reina finished her introductions, "I see." he replied, his voice betraying a hint of amusement, "I am Valen, and this, as you know, is Kachiko. It is a pleasure to meet you, Reina, at least moreso than certain others around here..." he cast a suspicious glance over his shoulder, dreading to see Rosairie there but failing to, as the girl happened to be in another direction "But, since you are so bored with introductions..." he continued, "Then you will probably be pleased to know that the announcement for the trainers will be made shortly."

And sure enough, Valen had barely had the time to finish his sentence as the loudspeakers came to life once again;

"Attention all tournament participants! Please gather at the Central Square in Undercity! Repeat, all tournament participants please gather at the Central Square in Undercity as soon as possible, thank you!"

"Well, that sounds like our cue." Valen said, "I'd suggest getting to the Central Square fast, the contest organizers are not exactly famous for their patience."
 
OOC - whoa, that was a lot to take in :|
I sorta understood what u said, i've never really been way into getting the perfect movesets etc in the games, none of my mates play em for battles anyway, i havent even done breeding before lol. cept once when i accidentally bred a zubat teehee.
Ur ideas for my lombre movset sound good though, very well thought out, may i ask, do u know a good website for looking up the pokemon and seeing all there possible moves and at what levels, and there moves when bred, etc etc etc? i used to know one but forgot it lol.

as far as ''nature'' goes believe it or not, not once have i ever payed attention to it, i didnt even know what it did, im a total n00b when it comes to the games, i dnt have much toime to play em, lot of other commitments.
but i may start paying more attention to stuff like this, thanks for that :)
my other pokemon, lets see, seeing as u enjoy it :)
