Pokemon: Rayquaza's Control (PG-13)

[Lash]

Nathan smiles with hands in his pockets, and stops walking for a moment. He looks around his area, seeing the route he was headed too, and another to the South. He seemed to have a look of ponder for a moment; The route he was originally heading to nearest, but the route to the South having more trainers. He started heading for the Southern Route of Jubilife, changing his original course of direction. He pulled his right hand out of his pocket, grabbing out a rather small Pokeball. By pressing the white button in the middle, the ball enlarged to fit in his hand. He drops the ball, and with an emerging flash, out comes a Pokemon just above Nathans height. The light disappears, showing the form of this Pokemon. It seemed to have yellow and blue fur, with a flame on its back. It states its name once, "Typhlosion".

Typhlosion walked along Nathans side. The two quickly got to the route South of Jubilife. As they entered the route, a few trainers looked in awe at the amazing fire Pokemon. One trainer walked up in front of Nathan, looking at Typhlosion. The boy seemed to be about the age of 14. His brief moment of examining Typhlosion ended, walked backwards, leaving just enough space for a battle to commence.

"I will battle you! Come on out, Prinplup!"

The trainer exclaimed, throwing out an enlarged Pokeball. With a flash, a penguin like Pokemon appears, looking ready for battle.

Nathan takes a brief look at Typhlosion, nodding. The fire Pokemon steps onto the battle field. Other trainers in the area began gathering around to watch the fight. The Prinplup fired off a beam of bubbles from its mouth, but Typhlosion countered quickly, emitting starts from its mouth at a rather fast rate. The starts began to over power the bubbles, quickly pushing back. The stars quickly hit their mark on Prinplup, knocking it back. Prinplup began charging for Typhlosion with the tip of its fin seeming metallic. However, Typhlosion countered by making itself in the shape of a circle, which began moving at a fast rate. The fire Pokemon began moving quickly in the ball shape towards Prinplup. It jumped back firing bubbles from its mouth once more, but it was proving unsuccessful. Prinplup was easily hit with this roll out, the speed knocking it unconscious. Typhlosion stopped spinning before reaching Nathan, winning the match.

"Good job Typhlosion! Well, anyone else want to step up and battle?"

Nathan asked the crowd, but they all backed away.

"I guess not. Shall we continue walking?"

Nathan asked Typhlosion. The two began walking in the route once more, Nathan with hands in pockets.

 

[Amoss92]

The three pokemon were standing apart from each other, forming an equal sided triangle, while their trainer stood on a rock above. They looked at each other, and seemed to be waiting for something.

"Okay hitmontop, now it's your turn. Ninetails and Flaafy against hitmontop and me." He said, equipping his face with a decent smile. Hitmontop nodded, grunting his name, as the two other pokemon didn't leave their opponent out of sight. All of a sudden, after half a minute of silence, flaaffy made the first move, starting to run towards it's opponent. The wool covered pokemon's tail started glowing. Ninetail, seeing it's companion start out, followed behind, with flames building up in it's mouth.

"Hitmontop, Use double team!" Said Santo, making the fighting pokemon make copies of itself. There were now a total of 8 hitmontops. Flaaffy, with it's iron tail, made three of them disappear, then followed the fox pokemon with fire blast, destroying four of them, leaving only the real one.

"Hitmontop, use rapid spin!" commanded the trainer. The handstand pokemon obeyed and jumped on it's head, starting to spin. To it's suprised, the sand around it started rising, creating a real sand twister, hitting both the opposing pokemon in a direct hit as they were close to him when he started.
Santo, as hitmontop stopped, got down, congratulating his pokemon for their hard work.

"Well, you guys think we're ready for the first gym?" He asked to get a unanimous approval from his friends. Returning them to his pokeball, Santo put them around his belt and, in an instance, was already jogging, wanting to get to Oreburgh as fast as he could, not loosing any time.

"First Jubilife, then the gym." He whispered to himself as he was running.

The room the trainer was in was dark, a few dim lights hanging from the surrounding walls did very little in illuminating the scene. There was a small round table in the center of the room with four individuals sitting around it. The first three were shrouded in shadows but the fourth could be seen, faintly. The fourth figure appeared to be young boy looking around the age of eighteen. From what could be scene he wore a mostly red hat with a snow white front, and a matching sleevless red vest with a jet black t-shirt underneath. His lower body, however, was not visiable at this time.

"So that's the story, we want you to survey the Sinnoh Region in Cynthia's absence."

The voice called out through the shadows, it's sound was that of a male not too much older then the visable boy.

"Sir, I know that it's happened in the past, but do you really think something like that could happen in the Sinnoh Region?"

Asked the visible boy with a curious tone.

"With what has happened in Hoenn, Kanto, and even your designated Region of Johto it is very possible that it could happen so Sinnoh, and while Cynthia continues her research on what a group like this could possibly want with that kinda of power, you have to take the job of watching over the Sinnoh Region."

Said the second voice. This voice has a calm, cool demenor to it and sounded a bit older then the first's or the fourth's voice.

"You just need to make sure to keep an eye out for any strange activity going on in Sinnoh, alright?"

Chimed the third voice, it was a young females sounding slightly older then the first and fourth's but younger then the third's.

"Alright,though I'm still not completely convinced there's a group like that around, I'll look out for anything strange."

Said the fourth voice, ending the conversation. The boy pushed his chair back and stood up from it, saying his goodbyes to the other three as they gave him their best wishes and regards. The boy then exited the room. The scene outside was a small museum with two pillars holding the Sinnoh Regions most familair Legendary Pokemon, Dialga and Palkia. The place was the Eterna City Museum.

 

[Gulpin]

Ring! Ring!

Levi woke up, sweating, and looked at the time- 4:50. Who would call this early? Levi wondered. Levi got up, and answered to call.

"Hello?" Levi asked, tiredly. Then there was an ominous silence, and a click-click. Levi hung up the phone and sighed,"Another prank call-"

Then an agry voiced yelled,"Levi! Was that another one of you idiotic friends!"

"Yes, mom, I'm sorry. I'll ask them not to call this early again," Levi's mom had no idea that it was actually a prank call-and hopefully won't find out. Nor did she know that the other calls this early were also pranks.

Levi went back up to his room, and picked up his backpack. It was 5:00 by now, and Levi figured that he might as well go out and train. He had recently gotten two twin Ralts, and decided that he should start early. He planned to evolve the male Ralts into the swift Gallade, and the female Ralts into a glamorus Gardevoir.

It was ealy, bright, and Andrew decided to stop by the Pokèmon Center to get one of his stronger Pokemon for back-up. He chose to get his Roserade out, and left his worn-out Mothim to rest. He went down to the shore of Lillycove, and sent out all of his Pokèmon-Ralts, Ralts, and Roserade. He went to the water, and noticed a small, cute Wooper wondering around.

"Okay! Let's gette'm Ralts...and Ralts!"

The Ralts Twins walked up to the Ralts, and started Teleporting around the helpless Wooper- or so they thought. The Wooper started attacking- a wave of mud was splashed out onto the Ralts. The Wooper knew Muddy Water! It was strong. Levi figured it was worth cathing, and then he noticed a dark figure come out of the water.

"Hey! Keep your hands off of my Wooper!"

 

[Amoss92]

Jogging for half an hour, Santo was berely tired, but knew that as soon as he would stop, he wouldn't be able to stand up. As he was doing so, a pokemon crossed his path, running across the dirt road, but instead of continuing, he stopped in the middle, and started starring at the young trainer. The pokemon was rathre menacing and large, enough to scare Santo.

"What do you want, you...What was your name again?" He asked, looking at the pokemon, looking at him from about four meters away. No sound was made, not until the pokemon did one, that is.

"Graveler!" It shouted, putting itself in a ball form and rolling towards the trainer.

"Oh yeah...graveler...Graveler!" He yelled as the pokemon came on him. "What do you want? What did I do to you?!" He followed, sprinting in Jubilife's direction. At some point, the pokemon passed him and blocked the road for him, shouting it's name once more.

"Great, guess I have no choice... Let's see: Fighting won't do much good against it, and neither will thunder. Fire ain't the best choice so all I have left is..." He said, taking a pokeball out and giving it a deep look.

"Ok, I'm going for it..." He whispered, throwing the pokeball in the air. "Dratini! Time to Shine!" He said as it opened, letting a blue, snake like pokemon emerge. It was of great beauty and grace, but didn't seem too happy. Graveler started rolling once more, and onto Santo once more.

"Dratini, use Dragon Breath!" He yelled, but the dragon pokemon didn't listen, only starring at it's trainer getting chased, almost laughing at him.

 

[TheSilverVersion]

Bek almost slipped. Almost.
Pratoreus let out a loud honk from the pillar of solid rock he was perched on. Bek regained his handhold, and swung himself up to the next ledge. Who's idea was it to put a giant mountain range down the middle of a continent anyways?

He had traveled far in three days. All the way into the middle of Sinnoh. The problem was to see if he could get any farther.

A peice of rock slipped out from under Bek's foot. He caught himself again and steadied himself as the Dragonite let out another loud honk.
"Pest!" yelled Bek. He reached down to his belt and pulled out a pokeball. "You think me almost dieing is funny"? The Dragonite let out another loud honk, seeming to laugh at him. A beam of red light shot from the ball at Pratoreus, retreiving him from the piller.
"Rat with wings you are." He put the ball back at his belt and scampered up the final ledge.

"Great more mountains." Bek said to himself, as he took off towards the next cliff. The skies were turning grey, and it would probably rain soon.

 

[♥~*Abby*~♥]

Name: Angela Rose Skywalker

Nicknames: Angel

Age: 17

Gender: female

Hometown/Region: Goldenrod City, Johto

Appearance: Angel's hair is a caramel shade of brown, and it goes a few inches past her shoulders, and her bangs are normally kept out of her face. Her eyes are a darker shade of brown. Unlike a lot of people with dark eyes however, her eyes do not look like they are black, it's obvious that they are brown, a chocolaty shade of brown, to be more exact. Her skin is nicely tanned to compliment the rest of her features.

Angel was always pretty short for her age. She is only about 5'0, or if you were to ask her, she'd say "5 foot and a half-of-an-inch". She is also rather skinny, almost to the point where she could be described as scrawny, weighing in at around 65 lbs. She chooses plain and simple attire, normally wearing a tank top and blue jeans. Her shoes a bit more fancy however, black heels, to be more exact. She also carries around a black purse for all of her other small knick-knacks that she can't carry around otherwise. She also has a touch-up of pink lip gloss and mascara.

Personality: Angel has a shy and somewhat timid personality. She isn't the type who likes to just randomly go up and introduce herself to someone, and can sometimes let her shyness take over to a point where she's lost for words. She can be very nice once you get to know her, but she may send out the message "antisocial" at first. She is also very modest, and can't take compliments without blushing... a lot.

Angel won't just trust any old person, however, once you get to be her friend, she trusts you way too easily, and becomes very gullible. If she trusts you and you said the sky is green, she may even go and check. Many people have taken advantage of her for this reason, and also because she is very nice and could hardly hurt a fly.

History: Angel spent the first 6 years of her life completely detached from society because her parents were just too paranoid that something may happen to her if they let her out in the real world. After the birth of her little sister Rachel however, her parents had to mainly focus on the little baby, so Angel finally got the chance to explore the world, only to realize that it was as dangerous as her parents said it was. Because of this, she stayed detached from society for another two years, until she finally got the courage to go out into the world. Many think her history may explain why she is so shy.


Pokemon: Vulpix (Blaze)

Obtained: Blaze could unofficially be considered Angel's starter, even though a lot of the kids in Johto started out with a Cyndaquil, Chikorita, or Totodile. Blaze was Angel's "pet", even though she wad meant to be for the whole family, she liked Angel the most. So at age 9, which was about 5 years after Blaze first entered the family, Angel's parents trusted her enough to take Blaze out on a journey.

Personality: Blaze, in many ways, has a similar personality to Angel. She is extremely shy, and it takes no effort to send her running in the other direction, so coming on too strongly is a bad idea. Unlike Angel, however, she trusts others way too much from the start, you don't have to her friend or anything. She dislikes battling.

Moveset: Flamethrower, Quick Attack, Iron Tail, Dig


Pokemon: Shiny Dragonair (Emerald) *if shiny Pokemon aren't allowed, I'll make it non-shiny*

Obtained: When Angel was 12 years old, she visited her parents again. Of course, because she had visited for the first time in 3 years, her parents clung and just had to spend all sorts of "quality time" with their daughter. One of the activities Angel did with her father was go fishing. After having a streak of bad luck, Angel finally got a bite. It was a Dratini. Noticing its pink color, Angel caught it, and it has been a loyal team member since.

Personality: Emerald has more of a prim and proper personality. Sometimes, she really gives off the message that she a little flashy and overly-confident, and sometimes her main message seems to be "Look at me, I'm better than you." A lot of people think this is because she let her rare pink color get to her head. Actually, she is very kind and caring, even if she's a bit full of herself. She's the main battler on the team.

Moveset: Dragobreath, Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Thunder


Pokemon: Clefairy (Star)

Obtained: When Angel was 13, she found a pink egg laying around. She decided to pick it up and carry it around, because she waited for a long time for the parents to return and they never did. It later hatched into a Cleffa.

Personality: It's arguable, but some say Star shares a closer bond with Angel than her original starter, Blaze. This may not be the case, but it comes close. It's all in her personality. Star is a very social Clefairy, always seeming to be chatting in Pokemon language to another Pokemon, even if their species are complete opposites. She is very friendly, but can be a bit snobby and temperamental. If you look past this however, she is a great Pokemon.

Moveset: Metronome, Moonlight, Blizzard, Charm


Pokemon: Charizard (Orange)

Obtained: When Angel turned 16, mom just had to get the perfect gift for "her perfect little Angel", especially that this would be one of Angel's more important birthdays. Her dad had already gotten her a cell phone, and because her parents kind of "compete" to see who get her a better gift, so she imported a Chamander all the way from Sinnoh.

Personality: Orange is about the meanest, toughest, angriest Pokemon you'll meet. There's very, repeat, VERY few people he'll open up to, and he's very impatient. If you piss him off, he'll simply use flamethrower on you. However, he's nothing like this towards Angel. He would sacrifice his life for her. If he accidentally uses flamethrower on her, he'll start crying. He also lets her ride on his back, and he doesn't let everyone do this.

Moveset: Flamethrower, Fly, Seismic Toss, Iron Tail

I hope this is good enough, considering how long it took me...

 

[Dan™ [ ダン]]

The Trainer let out a long, heavy sigh as he reached for one of his pokeballs. He didn't even know where to begin on a mission like this one. He held out the pokeball infront of him as a beam of red light shot out from it. The light took the shape and form of a Dragon with large wings down on all fours, Salamence was the Pokemon's name.

The powerful Dragon pokemon turned its head to its left to see his trainer, letting out a low roar since it was glad to see him once more. Dan walked over to his pokemon and placed a hand onto its head, giving it a gentle stroke on its head.

"We've got some work to do, Salamence. Mind letting me rid on your back for a little while?"

Asked the trainer with a soft smile. The Dragon pokemon replied happliy with a louder roar and nugded its head into its trainer, telling him to hop on. Dan did just that, he moved over to the Dragons large back and hopped on, letting his legs rest on both sides of the pokemons long neck, placing his hands along the neck as well to hold on.

"Alright! First we'll check out Jubilife City!"

The Dragon replied with a firece roar that shook the ground it stood on slightly as it began to flap it's large, powerful crimson wings, lifting it up into the air. Soon the trainer and his pokemon were soaring high into the sky toward Jubilife City.

Name
Ca'Shara Florida

Nickname
Cassi

Age
16

Gender
Female

Hometown/Region
Veilstone City, Sinnoh

Appearance
A gentle soul housed in a lithe frame, Ca'Shara would appear to be a harmless teen at first glance. The humbling presence of modesty lingers in sapphire eyes, serene but brave, gracefully intimidating in a latent fashion. Straight blond hair flows down to the waist, trimmed bangs level across her brow. Pale and soft, her features are a true manifestation of her personality. She wears a long-sleeved skirt dress, midriff in length and pearly white in colour, with a pair of matching cut-out gloves and knee-high boots.

Personality
Ca'Shara's most noted for her reserved demeanour, arising from her inability to trust people easily, making it difficult for her to make friends. Her quiet existence is not without an indignant counterpart that often surfaces when something or someone important to her is threatened. She's quick to speak out against injustice with words or actions when necessary. Despite the fortunate financial position of her family, Ca'Shara manages to maintain an air of modesty about her.

History
Born into a wealthy family, Ca'Shara had never faced the hardships of a lack of pretty much anything when she was growing up. Any toy she wished for was handed to her on request. Despite having little to no friends, she lived a happy life thanks to her family's fortune. It was only when she turned 12, did she recognize the emptiness in her life, the void growing bigger by the day. Ca'Shara became increasingly frustrated by her faltered attempts at filling it by buying more expensive gadgets and playthings. For the first time, she realised the limit of money's influence on her happiness.

Her father, having been the closest person in her life, noticed the dramatic change in his daughter's spirits. In an attempt to rid her of the pain of loneliness, he brought home an Eevee one day, which went on to become her closest friend over the following months. With her confidence renewed, Ca'Shara found the strength to set out to become a formidable trainer, with high hopes of meeting new people who she could learn to trust to be her friends. After four years of training and traveling all around Sinnoh, her skills have grown exceptionally well, making her quite the contender in pokémon battles.

Pokèmon

Glaceon
Obtained: Glaceon was her first pokémon, given to her as a gift from her father when she was still an Eevee. It eventually evolved into a Glaceon after training and battling pokémon trainers on Route 217.
Personality: Vibrant, caring, can be overprotective at times.
Moveset: Blizzard, Quick Attack, Mirror Coat, Iron Tail.

Drapion
Obtained: During her travels across Sinnoh, Ca'Shara visited Pastoria City where she would enter the Great Marsh and run into a shy Drapion. The sight was awkward; she had never guessed such a scary-looking pokémon for a timid creature. Intrigued, she made it part of her team with little resistance.
Personality: Timid, friendly.
Moveset: Thunder Fang, Earth Quake, Shadow Ball, Slash.

Piplup
Obtained: Piplup originally belonged to Ca'Shara's younger cousin who had chosen it as a starter pokémon. The ecstatic penguin turned out to be quite hyperactive, to the point that her frustrated cousin was ready to return it to the lab for another one. Instead, Ca'Shara stepped in and decided to make it part of her team.
Personality: Hyperactive, playful, clumsy
Moveset: Bubblebeam, Fury Attack, Surf, Mud Sport

Buneary
Obtained: This victimized pokémon befriended Ca'Shara after she rescued him from an aggressive gang of Buneary that constantly bullied him. She defeated the whole lot of the rascals and carried the hurt pokémon to the nearest Pokémon Centre. Following his recovery, Buneary willingly joined Ca'Shara's team.
Personality: Friendly, social, loves to interact with other pokémon.
Moveset: Jump Kick, Agility, Attract, Pound

@raichuchika: Accepted. Well done sign up sheet.

IC-

"Common Typhlosion, lets head south to look for another battle."

Nathan smiled up at Typhlosion, always proud of it, about what it can do in battles, and how it would never let him down. The flames on its back went out, as it was not in battle, it had no reason to be alarm. Nathan placed his hands in his pockets, his face quickly turning to a plain look. After walking for about 5 minutes, the two began to hear a sound, if faint off in the distance. They both looked pondered for a moment, and began heading in the direction, hoping to find a battle, though it sounded like just heavy rocks rolling around. But as the trainer and Pokemon advanced, the sound began to get louder, and maybe the screams of another trainer.

"Well, that doesn't sound too good.. Come on Typhlosion, lets go!"

Nathan and Typhlosion began running. Soon, the saw a Dratini floating in mid air, looking down. Nathan looks surprised to see a trainer running around from a roll out attack, coming from a rock Pokemon. Typhlosion ran forward, quickly jumping forward, to become the shape of a circle. It began spinning, rolling forward, ready to attack. The two got there just in time, Typhlosion and Graveler colliding in a spin. The recoil of the two attacked caused them to stop spinning for a moment, due to such intense power. Typhlosion began rolling again however, as did the rock Pokemon. This time, Graveler had the advantage, as it attempted to propel itself while rolling. The two collided again, and stopped spinning again. Typhlosion stood up, and began walking backwards like it was drunk, when actually the dense rock Pokemon gave it a bump on its head from the collision.

"Alright Typhlosion, stay here. Come on out, Absol!"

Yelled Nathan, tossing out an already enlarged Pokeball, the ball enlarged probably from when he reached into his pocket to grab it. With an emerging light, a dark, dog like Pokemon appeared, with a sickle attached to the side of its face. Graveler saw its new foe, and began rolling once more. Absol released a blast of snow and ice from its mouth, while taking a defensive pose. Graveler, once hit, got encased in a block of ice, stopping it in its tracks. Absol stayed in its pose, charging a dark ball which is placed outside of its mouth. The ball gains mass, and is quickly launched at the ice. The ice breaks, and so is Graveler. Graveler is knocked back a bit, and lays on the ground. It quickly gets up, with a look of anger, but it begins running away, being defeated. Typhlosion gains its ground, as Nathan returns Absol with the touch of a red beam from its Pokeball.

 

[Amoss92]

OOC: So there are going to be 3 vulpix/ninetails and 3 dratini evolution lines? XD Gonna be special.

IC:

As the new comer started battling his assaillant, Santo was deeply relieved, lying on the ground, resting, while watching the harsh battle of some well trained pokemon. When it finally came to an end after an impressive show from Absol, Santo got up, taking Dratini's pokeball and walking towards it.

"I knew you'd be useless..." He sighed. "But I guess I'm lucky you didn't attack me..." He followed, giving away a faint smile. Pointing the pokeball towards it, a red light engulfed Dratini, emerging into it's ball. After doing so, Santo walked up to his 'Savior', putting his hand out for the boy.

"Hey, thanks. I needed that, I guess...Stupid dratini..." He said, hand ready to shake Nathan's.

 

[TheSilverVersion]

OOC: At least one is a Dragonite, one a Dratini, and one a Dragonair... 'sides, I signed up first. :D

IC:

Bek let off a long string of swears to whatever god/gods/aliens controled the weather in Sinnoh. It was still raining on this side of the mountain, and decending was hard in the slick, muddy, dirt of the cliff face. He shook himself in his yellow rain slicker. Not a good day, thought Bek.

At least Quarus was having fun. The strange light blue pokemon slid easily down the face of the cliff, periodicly stoping and waiting for its owner. Get over it Bek, he thought to himself. Nobody wants a whinner.

Bek called out to quarus. "So, what has no tail, and three legs?" The quagsire replied:
"Quag?"

"It's a stool! Get it?"
The Quagsire burst out in seeming laughter, although Bek was pretty sure that the Quarus did not get it.

He slid down the last part of the face, and into some sort of alpine forest. He was about to open his mouth when he saw someone standing back in the trees.
"Hello?" Bek called out softly. No one replied, and the figure moved off. Bek and Quarus chased after, but soon lost it amoung the thick trees.
"What was that?"
"Sire?" Replied Quarus, helpfully.
"Never mind, at least the rain has stopped."
Bek pulled off the hood of his rain sliker, and kept moving, Quarus in tow.

 

[Lash]

Nathan turns to the trainer, while Typhlosion glanced over at both of them for a moment. Nathan smiles, holding his hand out to shake the other trainers hand.

"My name is Nathan. And, no problem in defeating that rampaging Graveler. But no need to call Dratini stupid. It probably feels that it is strong. It will learn someday to obey."

Nathan replied, sounding a little smart when talking about how Dratini will hopefully obey the trainer one day. Typhlosion walked over to where Graveler was encased in ice. The shadow ball did not completely break the ice, just broke the area where Graveler was in the ice. It began releasing flames at an alarming rate from its mouth. The flames high heat melted the ice within mere seconds. Nathan took just a glance when it was melting the ice, and while it walked back to Nathan. Typhlosion stood behind Nathan, calmly, but attentive for any attacking wild Pokemon, and attentive of its trainers new friend.

 

[Seremiya]

The sizzling afternoon slowed down Ca'Shara's travels considerably. She hadn't expected to be so exhausted on her arrival at Jubilife City. It wasn't the distance between the cities; she was used to that by now, the ever-changing weather however, was another question. Small beads of sweat surfaced on her brow in response to the heat. She needed to find somewhere she could rest for a moment and replenish her energy levels. The crashing waters of a city fountain caught the fatigued trainer's eye, an overwhelming urge to approach overcoming her.

She found comfort sitting on the stony edge of the fountain. Gaze in the clouds, she reflected on the last few days of her journey, the subtle splashes behind her dancing in her ears. She'd come a long way from being the lonely girl of Veilstone City. Although she'd made only a handful of close friends, it was a step up from what she had back at home, and still her pokémon were always there to support her when need be. Her lips formed a confident smile. More than ever, she felt ready to collect the remaining gym badges and finally challenge the Elite Four. With her energy and enthusiasm restored, she rose to her feet, skirt blowing lightly in the wind.

"Oreburgh City, here I come!"

But first, she had to pay the local Pokémon Mart a visit to stock up on supplies. The wild pokémon on Route 203 didn't pose much of a threat but being extra careful wouldn't hurt. As she approached the entrance, a brash toddler in a yellow baseball cap came running out at full speed. Unaware of her presence, he crashed into her, knocking himself to the ground bottom first. Dozens of small containers tumbled out of his backpack. Ca'Shara, feeling partly responsible, knelt down and helped him gather them. She held turned one of the bottles and read the label: Protein. Good for increasing a pokémon's strength, but why did the kid have so many? Curiosity got the better of her and she sought to find out.

"I'm sorry about that. You should be more careful. Um, I hope you don't mind me asking… why would you need so much Protein? There's more to pokémon battles than just attack power."

The kid snatched the bottle from her, tossing it into his shopping bag, a look of irritation plain in his eyes. Normally he wouldn't talk to strangers, and especially not to one that knocked him over, but he could see the genuine concern in her eyes, even if she was being a little nosy.

"You mean you haven't heard? It's been going around town. Someone's been saying that … that they are going to make a comeback real soon! And it's going to be twice as bad as what happened two years ago! I need to make my pokémon super strong so I can do my best to protect my family and friends. I'm sorry, but I have to go train. Can't afford to waste any more time."

He picked up his bag and dashed off, as hasty and carelessly as ever, leaving Ca'Shara unsatisfied with the information. Since he mentioned the dark events that took place two years ago, she gathered the "they" he was talking about, could only have been Team Galactica. But weren't they defeated for good? She remembered that day well, her parents had invited family and friends from all over the region to celebrate. Could what this kid had said be true? Or just another hyped-up rumour? It was difficult to tell, considering he didn't say much about his source.

Whatever the case, she'd have to deal with the situation when it came to be. "Right now, I have to focus on collecting the rest of the badges," she thought, entering the Pokémon Mart.

Santo, glad the trainer was a nice one, shook his hand. As he did, he listened to what he had to say about his calling Dratini stupid, and sighed.

"Well, I've had that pokemon for well over a year now and it only gave me two good battles so far, one of which was when I caught it, and the other was against Clair from the Johto league." conveyed the young man, letting go of Nathan's hand with a shy smile, rubbing the back of his head.

"So, why are you in Sinnoh? Personally, I'm here to claim my title as pokemon master! After arriving 8th in the Johto league, I skipped Hoenn and decided to come right here." Bellowed Santo, taking on a full different attitude, a much more active and adventurous once, almost forgetting that his new friend was in front of him.

"Yeah, sorry... I kind of get carried away easily..." He followed, letting out a shy laugh.

 

[Dan™ [ ダン]]

It took about an hour for the Trainer and his pokemon to reach Jubilife City. He decided to bring his Salamence down around the outskirts of the city, so he wouldn't cause any alarm to the people of the city. Once on the ground he hopped of his Pokemon and thanked him for a job well done before returning him back into his pokeball. A moment later he took out a second pokeball and pressed the center button on him.

A red beam of light shot out and and took the form of a 3 foot 11 inch tall ape with a flaming upper head, Infernape was this pokemon's name. Infernape was Dan's first pokemon, best friend, and traveling partner. The two did everything together. He smiled and placed a hand onto the pokemon's head, within the flames. He didn't seem to be experiencing any pain at all, the fact that he couldn't be harmed by the Pokemon's flames represented the strong bond the two shared.

"Well buddy, we've got some work to do. Let's start by checking out the city for anything suspicous. If we can't find anything we'll move onto Oreburgh City."

With that the trainer and his trusted pokemon made their way into Jubilife City.

Once Nathan and his new friend stopped shaking hands, pulling their hands away, he simply smiled hearing the new ones words about Dratini.

"Two years? Heh. Well, if it gets trampled in a battle, it might learn a lesson, or through friendship. Who knows?"

Nathan said, pondering the Dratini for only a moment. The thought stopped when Santo bellowed about being champion. Nathan simply shook his head, pointing his right thumb to himself, with a rather confident smile. Typhlosion then smiles confidently with its eyes closed, looking rather overconfident. Nathan looked back at Typhlosion for a second, saying "Don't get too overconfident.".

"Also, what year did you compete in the Sinnoh League championships? I came in sixth. It has been awhile since I have been to Johto, and I guess all the trainers that competed have grown up a little since then. But still, if we do get to battle in this years championships, it will be a brawl."

Nathan said with a chuckle, going into a flashback of his Typhlosion battling a Steelix in the final battles. He drifts off thinking about it, probably not paying attention to any conversations.
***Flashback sequence involves visible clouds around the 'screen'.

| In a roaring arena, crowded with fans, in the middle a battle field is set. A Typhlosion and a Steelix, both looking ready for battle, stand ready to face each other in intense combat. A voice comes from a microphone, sounding all over the arena, saying, "Well, these two trainers look like they are ready for their final showdown! Each with one Pokemon a piece, who will come out victorious?"

The trainer of the Typhlosion stands on his side, knowing that he can't mess anything up, while the trainer of the Steelix, has the same look, knowing that one false move could cost him the match. A screen in the arena shows each trainers info., such as fainted Pokemon, how many Pokemon are left, and a picture at the top of the list. Each Pokemon list showed five shaded Pokemon slots, only one in color at the bottom. The judge of the match raises two flags, saying, "Begin!"

"Typhlosion, Flame Wheel!" Exclaimed Nathan, as his fire beast charged forward towards its opponent surrounded in flames.

"Steelix, counter that with a Headbutt!" Exclaimed the opposing trainer. His steel snake Pokemon charged its head forward.

The two Pokemon collided with fierce intensity, both not wanting to give up, attempting to push each other back. The recoil of the collision stopped, both Pokemon hopping backwards. Typhlosion began emitting hot flames from its mouth, as the Steelix blasted out green flames from its. Flame Thrower versus Dragon Breath, a truly intense match of powers. Steelix's flames pushed back Typhlosions, slowly but surely. Typhlosion began to have a look of anger in its eyes, as it was being pushed back, it tried to push out more flames from its mouth. Steelix's eyes dilated, as the flames emitting from its mouth became more intense. Quickly, the green flames overpowered Typhlosion, a combination of both flames surrounding it.

It had seemed that the battle was over, but Typhlosion yelled, rising through the flames, causing them to disappear. Typhlosion seemed vigorous now in anger, wanting to battle more now. Quickly, it shot out an array of stars from its mouth, Swift. Being a normal type attack, it might not do much damage against a steel type, but nearly right after, Flame Thrower shot out from its mouth again, engulfing the starts in flames, heating them up for damage, while the still flames were still existent behind the stars. The speed of the attacks gave the opposing Steelix no chance to dodge, the flames searing past, hitting its sides, followed by body engulfing flames.

Steelix was hit, taking on intense damage. But it was still not out. It rose through the flames, yelling like Typhlosion did. Typhlosions body became engulfed in flames, as it charged for the Steelix. Steelix began charging in with an Iron Tail, but Typhlosion began rolling half way across the field, turning into a flaming Rollout attack, the flames intense. Typhlosion was hit, but it did not stop, though Steelix's tail was holding it in place. Typhlosion rolled faster and faster however, it began progressing. The ball of rolling flames hopped up once the tail failed. The speed added to the impact damage, Typhlosion emerging from the ball once the attack was done. Steelix was knocked down to the ground, but it was not fainted, as the green flames, Dragonbreath from before shot out from the dust, knocking Typhlosion back to the other side of the field into the wall. Dust surrounded it from the impact, but it got back up, walking back onto the field.

Both Pokemon were tattered and beaten badly, but each one had a last attack in them. They attack had to count. Steelix emitted a powerful charged beam from its mouth, consisting of few colors. It was still powerful however, a Hyper Beam. Typhlosion fired off the flames once more, crouching down on all fours this time. The flames were coming out rapidly and more powerful than before. The powers clashed for mere moments, both Pokemon not giving up however. Both Pokemon showed struggle and sweat. A true match. The trainers cheered on their Pokemon. They gave their Pokemon strength, but alas, in a flash, the Hyper Beam became more powerful than before. It shot back the flames, and the intense power of the beam surrounded Typhlosion, attacking all around it.

The beam stopped, as already did the flames. Typhlosion appeared weaker than before, tattered more from the beam. It still looked like it could battle.

"I believe in you Typhlosion, Flame Thrower!" Nathan cheered.

Typhlosion began to look like it was going to attack, a flame about to charge in its mouth, but it fell to the ground, too weak to continue. It had been beaten. Its appearance on the screen turned into black and grey, like the other members on this team.

Nathan walked onto the field, not at all mad in his defeat. Typhlosion was awake now, rather quickly, so Nathan began petting it, telling it that it did an excellent job with a smile. The other trainer walked up to Nathan with a smile, holding his hand out. He said, "Thanks for the awesome match." Nathan shook his hand, smiling. The announcer exclaimed how that was a truly awesome battle, and the true sportsmanship in the battlers.| (Flash back ended.)

OoC: Hey, Madina Lake, do you want me to make an OoC Thread for this RP? I'll be willing to make one for you -

IC:
Levi wasn't so suprised that it was another trainer's Wooper, because of it's fantastic moves. The Wooper started attacking vigorusly. Eventually Levi sent his Roserade into battle. The Roserade whittled down the Whooper's hit points, making it easier for the Ralts to evade the attacks. Soon the Wooper fainted, which left the African-American hopeless. He dried off, and came and shook Levi's hand.
"Good battle," he muttered.
When the boy was up close, Levi actually noticed that he was a couple of years older than Levi, but very short.
"Yeah," he said,"I'm actually better at Cordinating, I working on my Master Rank for the Tough Contest with my beloved Wooper,"
"Oh," Levi said,"I bet that your Wooper will quickly win! I've never even tried any Contests. I'm used to having an adventure, and I'm not sure how good my Pokemon will be,"
"I think that your Roserade would be exelent! And if you evolved those Ralts into a Gallade and Gardevoir, they would be magnificent together,"
"Oh, well thanks," Levi replyed,"Did I ever catch your name?"
"My name's Glen C. Carver; I hate the name Glen though, just call me Clarince. And you?"
"My name's Levi Ornatè Shorte. I hate my last name though, considering I'm already tall as it is, I mean, come on! Shorte?"
Glen, no Clarince chuckled, and said,"Well, nice to meet you! Call me any time! 678-1075","
"Ok, sure!"
Levi walked away, with a brand new friend.
