The Base - Part 5

Justin walked into the battle hall and stood there for a second watching his pokemon train. Absol slashed and bit at Spoink, as Spoink hopped around on it's tail dodging Absol's attacks. Haunter and Marowak were right next to eachother, Haunter shot shadow balls in various directions while Marowak quickly aimed and destroyed each one with it's bone. Justin sat down, wrote some stuff in the notebook then looked up. "Ok guys, change of plans." The pokemon stopped and came to him. "Haunter, make yourself invisible. Absol, I want you to work on taking down unseen opponents. Spoink, work on your deflecting skills, Marowak will do his best to beat you." The pokemon ran out and began training again.

Justin grabbed the notebook and a pencil and looked around the room. He made a sketch of the battlefield and the room around it. This might be a good place for Marowak's bonemerang. He looked up and saw Marowak throw it's bone at Spoink, who jumped up and pushed off it with it's tail. He then looked over and saw Absol turn around and duck as Haunter appeared and tried a shadow punch. Justin drew a few pictures of his pokemon battling eachother then stood up. "Alright spoink, go help Absol." Spoink hopped over to Absol, barely dodging a shadow ball. "Marowak, I want you to work on throwing that bone as fast as you can, the last thing you want is the enemy catching it." Marowak, turned it's back to it's trainer and got ready to throw. "No, at me."

"Maro?" Marowak lowered it's arm and turned around confused. "Just do it, if I can catch it, you're throwing to slow". Marowak shrugged and chucked the bone at it's trainer as hard as it could. Justin leaned back and caught it just before it would have hit his face. "Faster next time" he said, tossing the bone back to the pokemon. "Mar, marowak!" Marowak threw the bone with as much force as it could, Justin ducked just in time "Wow... that was definitely a lot faster" he turned around and caught the bone as it came back, "But not fast enough" he tossed the bone to Marowak for another try.
 
Skylar pulled up a chair for Flygon and sat down in one next to it. She noticed Yuki speaking to a girl with pink hair and a friendly face. She looked vaguely farmilliar, but she couldn't figure out where she'd seen that face before. The girl introduced herself as Whitney, and Skylar almost facepalmed. The Goldenrod City gym leader was right in front of her face, and she hadn't even noticed! She could be so clueless sometimes.
Her eyes wandered over to Yuki, who seemed to be having a bit of trouble speaking to the bubbly girl. She felt a little sorry for him; the boy always seemed to be nervous. It's not like he's choosing to be like that, Skylar mentally scolded herself, You should try and befriend him. He seems sweet. After all, he did come and check on you after the incident with Flygon earlier.
Skylar's face burned slightly, but she brushed the feeling away without much thought. Whitney had now seated herself at their table. She gave Yuki, who seemed to be having a tough time, a small smile of encouragement. After all, the gym leader had kinda popped up out of nowhere, and she was beginning so sense a rivalry between him and Michael.
 
Derek Stonemason - Inside Rocket HQ​


Derek looked up, a suprised expression on his face and a spoonful of mashed potatoes in his mouth. He looked at the boy who must have spoken to him, seeing as there were no other trainers in the current vicinity that also had a Gardevoir sitting next to them. He quickly swallowed, and replied, "That would explain things. It seemed to me that Tetra was a bit distracted. I don't see any problem with it tough."

He then took a large gulp of the lemonade in front of him, and began eating once again. Tetra nodded towards the trainer, and said, None taken. I enjoy company.
 
Tabris-Dinner Time Part 2

"Glad to hear it," Tabris replied to Tetra. "I enjoy seeing her be more expressive, as well." He added turning to look at his Pokemon who was shoveling food into her mouth with her large claws. 'Perhaps not too expressive,' he thought giving the weasle a slight slap on the back of the head. "Manners Snease, we're not on the streets here." Tabris scoulded. Snease swallowed the massive amount of eatables that was already in her mouth, then slowed down substantually. Putting his focus back to the boy Tabris smiled, of course it couldn't be noticed. "Sorry about her, we haven't really been eatting well lately."
 
Yuki - The big, big, big day (Hunger Games referance!)

A voice could be hear booming all over the building, well underground resort, or perhaps a small decorated cave. Who cared. It was Alder, but he wasn't in sight, perhaps a small room with a microphone. Again who cared. The voice spoke in Alders usual tone with that traditional microphone screeching noise at the end.

"Fello' battlers. Tomorrow is the big day where round one will be held. Also, for your personal training I have opened up 3 sound proof and dark stained windowed rooms that connect to the battle hall. Please share these rooms and don't take too long with your tactics. Along with that I have sorted out the battle arrangements for who shall be battling who. They are on screen now."

At the top of the room the rounded wall opened to form a large screen on the opposite side of the room to the door leading towards the battle hall where it showed all the results as for who shall be battling who tomorrow.

Yuki vs Gale - Michael vs Cinna - Derek vs Effie - Justin vs Haymitch - Tabris vs Katniss

There were several more battle segments but Yuki couldn't care less about them. There were 12 battles in total therefore next round there will be six battles, then 3 battles? ow would that work? Perhaps there some kind of trick to it...

Boom! A loud metallic boom could be heard in the distance followed by Alders astonished voice.

"Oh dear." A door opened in the side of the wall that looked almost as if it was the wall, and out popped Alder staring at the wall. No one moved, most of them had no clue what was going on, few looked slightly astonished but prepared. Yuki got out of his seat and prepared the most outrageous comment that Alder could hear.

"They've found us haven't they." Alder looked at Yuki as if to say, keep it down, we don't want anyone to worry, and Yuki knew he was thinking that, but he had to say something. The wall began to crumble.

The wall collapsed and in flowed a dozen troops tat quickly organised themselves around the perimeter of the room.

"On behalf of the Jhoto council and The proven, we are placing you all under arrest, nobody move!" The large guns and weapons put Yuki in his place. He couldn't move or they'd shoot. A voice could be heard down the coridoor... Mum?!

A nosy figure ran through the doors that led to battle hall and stopped at the sight of the several soldiers. Everything seemed to be going in slow motion. The troops turned and glared at Yuki's mum and aimed their sites at the helpless women. She tried to turn quickly, frantically racing back for cover. Yuki stood up and ran for his mum pushing over the table in his way and Ampharos raced behind him to help. There was a sudden click before Yuki closed his eyes and fell flat on the floor. He felt his head land on something soft. He couldn't bare to open his eyes, the sight would be too painful. Instead he sobbed, crying on the floor with his head rested up against his mothers chest. He could feel her exasperated breath slow down every time she tried before the breathing stopped. She was dead.
 
The Proven Strike

Marowak reached his arm back to throw the bone when Justin stopped him. "Hold on a sec, I think Alder's making an announcement." Justin and his pokemon looked around while listening to Alder's voice. "Ok guys, we've done our training, time to go rest." He threw his pack over his shoulder then heard a loud boom. "What the heck...?" He motioned for his pokemon to get out of sight, then crouched down behind the doorway. I thought this place was safe from them... He looked out the door just in time to see a wall collapse. Great, just when I thought I'd gotten rid of 'em. He motioned for his pokemon to group up behind him. "Here's the plan." Justin whispered as quietly as he could so only his pokemon could hear him. "there's 12 of them, 5 of us, luckily they don't know we're here...yet." He looked back out the door and saw the Proven Guards pointing guns at everybody. "And it appears they have guns now. So, Haunter turn invisible, watch from the ceiling. When I give the signal let shadow balls rain down on them. Marowak, you see those beams supporting the walls?" He turned to marowak who nodded. "I want you to use bonemerang on those, hopefully it should bounce around enough that it can hit most of them, if not distract them." Justin heard yelling and turned to look out the door. Oh no.... Justin couldn't see everything that was going on, he just heard a loud noise and then two bodies laying on the ground. "Ok, change in plans for Absol and I." He looked at the ground and shook his head. "Spoink" He said looking up. "When Haunter and Marowak strike, use psywave on the Guards." Justin stood up and leaned against the wall. "Absol, use faint attack so they don't see you, I'm going to need your backup more than ever." His heart started racing, "Sol?" Absol sensed nervousness in his trainer. "Look, most likely they're going to handcuff me, hit that guard. As of now, I'm going in solo." His pokemon looked at him confused. "Get to your positions, now" He leaned over and looked out the door again. I can't believe I'm doing this....
 
Michael Sheranto- Taking down
Michael was eating dinner when he saw a beautiful girl which looked like Skylar, it is Skylar. Then he saw whitney the gym leader of Goldenrod City who looked rather happy. She then sat down as Alder announced the first round of the Jhoto League. Michael then heard "Michael vs Cinna" when he heard that he thought to himself Cinna?
BOOM!
Something loud was heard and then loads of people with guns came trickling in. It was the Proven! they found them with a woman who was thrown on the ground by the boy. She was shot and the boy was there looking at the woman who was clearly dead. Michael responded first by sending out Manectric, Metagross and Houndoom. He made Manectric attack them with thunderbolt, Houndoom attack with bite and Metagross get the guy out of there. Michael ran over to Metagross while hiding behind the table and asked him to stop what he was doing.
 
((OOC-Wait, who am I battling?))
Skylar listned as Alder announced further details of the battle tomorrow, and the presence of the battling rooms. She watched as the matches popped up on the big screen, and could feel her stomach doing somersaults in excitement. Flygon and I will have to snag one of those training rooms...
This was her last thought before the underground complex began rumbling from the explosion.
"What the-?" Skylar grabbed Flygon's arm, as if it would keep the two of them together. She heard Alder's distressed 'They've found us, haven't they' as the Proven guards marched into the room. Skylar felt her breath quicken. She tightened her backpack to her shoulders as Flygon spread his wings in a defensive stance. "No Flygon...Calm down. Not yet..." she whispered to her Pokemon, petting his arm to calm him. Flygon retracted his wings, but kept his eyes narrowed.
Suddenly, a women that somewhat resembled Yuki came running down the corridor in confusion. Skylar's heart almost stopped as the Proven guards whipped around with their guns pointed. The sound of the gunshot hung in the air. She began shaking uncontrollably, watching Yuki collapse on his mother's corpse.
There was a buzz as Pokemon were being sent out. Michael began attacking in all directions, and Skylar fished out Espeon's pokeball. "Espeon, we need your help," Skylar said in a low voice, and the purple Pokemon appeared, hidden behind Flygon's bulk.
 
Derek Stonemason - Invaders​


Derek was about to answer when Alder's voice can over the intercom. He explained that the battling would begin the next day, and the rosters were posted. Derek looked over these, and noted that he would be battling someone named Effie. He made a mental note to find (her?) after dinner, but was interrupted by a loud boom. He instinctually grabbed Tabris and pulled him over the table before kicking it over for cover as a group of guards burst through the wall.

The next few moments passed by in a blur. Tetra was urgently trying to tell him to run, but Derek couldn't hear a word she was saying. His mind was blank as he watched one of the guards shoot an adult female, and a boy was clinging to the corpse. They had shot a kid's mother? That was going too far. He slowly stood, and through the silence calmly said, "You sick *******"

One of the guards turned their gun to quickly dispatch the young rebellious soul that was Derek Stonemason, and pulled the trigger. Another pop sounded across the expansive hall, and the small bullet went zooming directly for its target.

It never hit. Tetra had stood up next to him, and mentally deflected the projectile. Derek nodded to her, and pulled out a great ball from where it was hidden on his belt. He tossed it into the air, and moments later, a giant Aggron stood before Derek, letting out a deep and menacing roar that sounded like the grinding of large boulders.

"Techtrix," Derek commanded, "Dispose of them." The Aggron nodded, and began powering up the most powerful move it knew, waiting for the order to release the deadly Hyper Beam.

Tech tried shouted, "Down in front!" In his gravelly voice before unleashing the powerful attack, carving holes in the already wrecked wall and vaporizing quite a few of the proven guards. Derek returned him, and sent out Blaze to finish the rest of them off.

The Proven Strike - Part 2

Justin saw the chaos break out before him. Well, now's the time. Justin pulled a knife out of his pocket and ran into the chaos. He slid on the ground to dodge a thunderbolt from a Manectric, then crashed into a Guard, knocking him down. The Guard locked eyes with Justin and pulled his gun, Justin reacted by slashing his knife at the Guard's throat, killing him. "Now!" Justin yelled as he stood up. Haunter started launching shadow balls down from the ceiling. Absol lept in and tackled a guard. A bone came flying out of nowhere and started bouncing around the room. Spoink stood at the doorway of the battle hall sending out psywave in random directions. 'least I'm not the only one who thinks these Proven need a good butt kickin, he thought as he dove behind a table. "Now what to do..." He muttered looking around the room.
 
Chapter 2 - The Battle​

The guards pushed away the pokemon attacking them with a shrug, jolting them with tasers and sending them reeling to the floor. They seemed almost invincible with their heavy body armor and weaponry. Yuki opened is eyes and gazed into his mother's motionless eyes. Sorrow filled his heart, and anger. All he wanted was to give her a chance to live a better life, now all that work was in vain. He gritted his teeth. Anger was what often stimulated power and Ampharos was feeling the same kind of power too with his anger and pity building up too. Eevee sat their crying her eyes out before being swept up by a large net. Yuki Stodd up and quickly turned around at Eevee's cry.

"NO MORE SHALL DIE TODAY!" Yuki yelled at the guards who quickly aimed their guns at their 'feeble' opponent. Without a word and a jolt of anger, Ampharos charged up his thunderbolt attack and launched at the center of the group. A quick flash of light and a small explosion caused no damaged but some form of power surge, hopefully disabling their tasers allowing close range attacks. The guards quickly recovered and aimed their guns at Yuki and a quick round of firing proved Yuki that these bullets were not ordinary bullets but were some form of energy. But what kind. Riolu quickly jumped in the way of the bullet taking the hit. Yuki scremed, yet riolu landed on is feet, as if being hit by a regular attack. Then it struck Yuki. This energy had to be pokémon energy. Now Yuki was angered, and the guards seemed to realise that they're secret had been found. He knew know tat everyone would probably join in, but even if they won, how many more would come. What if a whole reinforcement team is up there. Whatever, this was Yuki's only chance of getting somewhere, to avenge his mother's death, to destroy the Proven.

Yuki skidded to Skylar and her Flygon to offer is assistance. Perhaps a good tactic could ensure their win.

"Take Ampharos in the air, and allow him to use discharge from above, they don't have good head protection, and your Flygon can finish him off." He skidded away leaving the rest to Ampharos before scooping up Riolu in his arms. He wandered if anyone had noticed the change in his attitude, hopefully not, as that gave them all an unfair disadvantage when battling him. Tirelessly he saw all the trainers, including Alder, throw attacks at the guards who repelled and pushed away the pokémon almost imediately. they were very quick and agile using riot shields as barriers for physical attacks, and a good eye for dodging special attacks. The body armor preventing psychic energy from reaching they're bodies, but the rest of there body were vulnerable to all attcks. they had too much to defend that they could not attack very well. The battle's on!
 
Skylar glanced at Derek, then followed his lead. "Flygon, help out Aggron and use Hyper Beam too!" Flygon began charging the move. She turned to Espeon. "Use Psychic to keep the guards from running, or worse yet, firing their guns."
"Peon!" Espeon narrowed her eyes and a group of guards was held in place by a blueish-purple substance. "Now Flygon, go!" At the command, Flygon unleased his Hyper Beam alongside Aggron's. The white light shot across the room, destroying more of the Proven guards that were immobile due to Espeon's Psychic. She turned to Yuki, who'd appeared at her side asking for assistance. "Good idea," she nodded, then turned to Flygon.
"Take Ampharos up into the air!" she commanded, and Flygon flew over to the yellow Pokemon while he recharged from Hyper Beam. The pair then flew up above the Proven guards. Espeon immobilized more of them with her Psychic.
 
Tabris-Proven Assult

It wasn't long that Tabris got to examine the screen of up comming battles, he did note that he was one of the last ones listed. An bone shaking crash could be heard as the Rocket Hideout shook vigorously. Suddenly the perimeter was surrounded by a number of Proven guards. Tabris was pulled behind a the table by Derek. He peeked over the top to see a female woman get shot down her son now crying over her dead body.

Placing a hand into his pouch he pulled out a short shinobi blade that was much like a flattend kunai knife. After Derek had sent out an Aggron that managed to take care of a few of the guards. Spiraling around Tabris drove his blade into the leg of one of the Proven who tried to approach from behind then quickly brought it upward under the man's chin, Snease knocked over the guard with a drop kick while scaling the table to be next to her trainer. Tabris then looked frantically over to the trainer rooms, and prepared what had to be done should the guards head down to investigate. He wouldn't let the Proven to the same to his sister as they did to Yuki's mother.

Now Yuki was up and had a sort of enraged power surging through him, it was obvious his adrenaline would be off the charts. He moved quickly to be along side Skylar who had her Flygon also join in with a Hyper Beam while lifting Yuki's Ampharos into the air to unleash a Discharge. That seemed to be weakening the guard's armour. Leaving them vunerable to Pokemon attacks, but for how long?

An idea popped into Skylar's head. She turned to Espeon, who seemed to be struggling. "It's okay Espeon, you can stop using Psychic now."
The red orb on the purple Pokemon's forehead stopped glowing, and she slouched over, panting. Skylar picked up her exhausted Pokemon. Her Psychic is really getting strong. She targeted a lot of guards, and she held them still for quite a while! the trainer thought with praise. She looked down at Espeon, who seemed to be recovering. "Ready for round two?"
"Espi! Peon!" she yelped in determination. "Alright," Skylar grinned, and Espeon jumped onto her shoulder. "Use Confusion!"
Espeon's eyes and orb glowed an eerie white, and Skylar could tell when the moves hit their mark. The Proven guards would clutch their heads in pain; Confusion caused quite a headache. With the guards distracted, other trainers could target their moves more efficiently.
 
The Proven Strike - Part 3

A guard stepped infront of Justin as he shot at pokemon. Justin quickly jumped up and grabbed the Guard, slit his throat then dropped down quickly as a Hyper Beam came by at Justin's eye level. "Sol!" Absol came running up. "Ok, new plan" Justin looked up and saw Flygon taking an Ampharos with it into the air. "Haunter! Direct your shadow balls with Ampharos' attacks! That should give them added effect!" Absol turned around and bite the arm of a Guard, who dropped in pain. Justin grabbed the gun from him and shot the Guard. Looking up he saw Skylar with her Espeon. "Absol, run up and help Skylar, she's gonna need some backup to keep that confusion attack going." Absol nodded then ran and stood by Skylar, using Razor Wind on any Guards that came near, or aimed at Skylar. "Now where did Spoink and Marowak go..."
 
Tabris-Proven Assult Part 2

With a small window of opportunity admist the chaotic happenings within the main room of the Festival Tabris began rushing low to the ground through a clearing of the battle, narrowly avoiding the bolts of discharged energy unleashed by the airborn Ampharos and falling Shadow Balls due to a Haunter. A single guard stood in the hallway that lead to the trainer rooms. Tabris preformed a neat front flip over the guard's riot sheild landing on the man's shoulders, he drove his ninja weapon down into the top of the Proven's skull. Snease was close behind already having seen what Tabris was heading for, with her sharp extended claws she raked at the unprotected portion behind the Proven's knees. As the guard fell Tabris tumbled backwards upon hitting the ground to loosen his own landing.

Facing the main room, but being in the entrance to the hall he could see just how the battle was going. They seemed to be holding their own, but would it be enough. Not a moment after a loud shot rang out, and a searing pain flooded through Tabris' right shoulder, he'd been shot by a normal bullet. It wasn't a fatal wound, but Tabris hadn't been actually shot before, and really never expected he would. On his back he called out in agony, holding his shoulder tightly. "Sneeease!" his Pokemon friend cried pressing over to cover him.
 
Skylar looked down at Absol, and gave him a nod of thanks. With discharge and shadow balls raining down around them, they had to be careful. Shots were still being fired though, and one whizzed past Skylar. A moment later there was a cry of pain. She whipped around to see Tabris fall to the ground clutching his shoulder. Her mind was frantic. What do I do what do I do what do I do...
"C'mon!" Skylar pulled Espeon and Absol, who were still attacking, behind her towards Tabris. They arrived at his side, and she crouched behind the two Pokemon. "Sneasel," she looked at the Pokemon crouching over her trainer. "I need you to move. We need to check Tabris' wound." Her words were soft in the midst of the roaring battle.
 
Tabris-Proven Assult Part 3

Snease slowly backed away as Skylar along with two Pokemon, only one being her own came to lend a hand to her trainer. "Ahh! Damn it, no! I'm fine!" Tabris obviously lied, loosening the shinobi bandage from his right elbow with his left hand. The pain was constant, and throbbed progressivly worse each passing second. "My sister..." He added through gritted teeth moving his head to be looking toward his room. Snease turned around as well and fantically informed (in Poketalk) her trainer and the girl who came to help that she'd go check. Regreatably she left her trainer's side, but she knew it's what he really wanted. She was also aware that the Espeon and Absol would be able to give cover. Tabris handed Skylar his bandage with a burning mixure of appreciation, anger, and pain in his lime eyes.
 
"You're obviously not fine," Skylar gave him a hard look. She watched as Snease left to go check on Tabris' sister. The Pokemon obviously didn't want to leave, but it was for the best. She turned back to the boy on the ground.
"I'm sorry. This is probably going to hurt." Skylar grabbed a pokeball from her bag. "Squirtle, I need a little water to clean the wound," she said as the turtle-like Pokemon appeared. "Take my hand and squeeze it when the pain comes. Don't yell out." She took Tabris' hand in hers and nodded to Squirtle.
"Squirtle!" He sprayed a bit of water on the bullet wound. With her free hand, Skylar took the bandage Tabris had previously given her and tied it around the now-clean wound. She looked down at the trainer. "How does that feel? The bullet went straight through, so we don't have to cut it out or anything." Skylar grimaced.
 
Tabris-Proven Assult Part 4

Trying hard not to scream as the water from the turtle Pokemon washed over the hole. Tabris gripped Skylar's hand with almost crushing force. Escaped grunts of pain Tabris slammed his eyes closed tightly. Soon the wound was cleaned out and a puddle of blood and water pooled around his right side. The pain was still excruceating but started to lift gently, Tabris' head started to feel a little light and his eyes grew heavy. Bandaged up, Skylar asked "how it felt?" Having half a mind to exclaim, "I got shot! How do you think it feels?!" Instead he turned toward the girl. "Much like a bullet wound..." He answered in a rough voice.

Not the time to notice, but the girl hovering over him looked different, was she wearing...makeup? Tabris didn't take his gaze off her, as he started to feel delirious, he smiled. "You look...pretty..." he mummbled. "Thank you..." His words were smoother and quieter he fought with himself to stay concious.

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

Unable to use the door nob cause of her claws, Snease instead used her X-Scissor attack to slice through the door leading into their room. Tsuya was hiding in the far left corner with Flareon growling infront of her. Snease quickly informed her fire type companion of the happenings. Lighter spat out a bit of flame and charged the door way. Snease put her claw out to stop him shaking her head. "Tabris wants us to watch over Tsuya." Snease spoke and turned to cover the now exposed room. Lighter ran back to Tsuya who was getting up to follow, and gently knocked her back down, before throwing a blanket from the bed over her.
