OOc-
Do you realise how many times that we all like,say,like,
'priceless' in just a mere week?XD
Anyway,at least your drawings are funnier to look at.X3
Ic-
{I'll be your friend,yes!!}Cascade told Kinaki,laughing at Fishy who had proceeded to hang onto Kayley's arm.The Mudkip was rather different,come on,what was so bad about the Mawile?Minus her snapping maw.
"Eh,Kayley,you alright there?"Jena was amazed by the number of things happening at the same time.First,pokemon chasing each other,then Maxie and Silver's conspiracy,now this.At this rate,she'd tire herself out before mid-day.
{I don't find Amelia,'flirty'.}Ryne stated honestly to the Bagon and Swablu infront of her.

"Eenie-Meenie-Mynie...Ouch!!"Jendo looked up from the map of Showgan,rubbing his head.His wife stood infront of him,a rolled up newspaper in her hands.
"We have to do this a a calm,and collected manner."she stated,flinging the newspaper onto her desk.
"Not by playing with our luck."she grumbled,shooting Jendo a glare.
The woman proceeded to sit back down on her chair,and held the map out infront of her.The other,grabbed the newspaper for a read.The biggest Contest hall was beyond the train station,while if one took the port,they'd be headed to the first gym of the region.A grin spread across Zhena's face.
"Hey..."Jendo started,looking at the article on the second page of the Showgan newspaper.
"See,the that famous thief Valen,he's been spotted round Azure."he passed the Showgan paper to his wife.A picture of the purple-haired boy,taken from what looked like the security camera of a Pokemon Center was printed beside words which Zhena didn't bother to read.She had no second thoughts after seeing the image,forcing it back into his arms.
"Eh,do I have to remind you for the fifth time today?We're looking for...Jena."she said slowly,turning back to the map,giving Walore City a good tap if her finger.Since it had the biggest Contest hall,their daughter had to be there!
"The guy's talking to a group of teens.One of them looks like Jena,maybe she knows were Jena is."he said simply.
"WHAT?!"Zhena snatched the paper out of Jendo's hands.
OOc-
*cough*Before you dudes like,ask-
Yes,they get their news real early in the morning,delivery by Pigeot from all around the region in the morning and publish it right before mid-day.That's how Jena's parents got the paper with their picceh with Valen.Yeah,no common sense whatsoever.Deal with it.>D
Chappie 189(Vs Nosepass)
Sapphire held the letter in her hands as she ran through the streets of Rustboro,promising the Chairman that she would deliver the letter to Steven.
However,if they were to meet up with the same team of bad guys again,they could've suffered another terrible defeat,they needed to get stronger.The girl stopped infront of a large building,with the words 'Rustboro Gym' on it.
Sapphire-And the road to becoming stronger,according to my original plans..
Starts here!!
There was no reply,as there was no one she could see in the gym.It didn't even look like a gym,there were only desks and chairs,with a small desk and whiteboard in the front.
Weren't gyms supposed to be places for pokemon trainers to hone their skills by challenging their leaders,but there were so many tables and chairs,was this not a gym?(-As taken from Sapphire's thoughts-)
At the ring of what seemed like a school bell installed above the door of the 'gym',
a mob of dudes walked in,ignoring Sapphire and sitting down on the chairs,placing their books onto the desks.As they started to study,the girl ran out to check the name of the building once more.There was no mistake,this was Rustboro Gym,the map Maryann had drawn on a piece of paper for her was correct too.
Sapphire-Did the Leader of this gym run away?
"Or course not!If you're looking for the Leader...Here I am!"
---
At the
Rustboro Hospital,Tyler and Maryann sat on a bench in the small area any hospital would have for their patients to play and relax.They could only pray that the Chairman of the Devon Corporation could recover soon.Maryann nodded,though,the thought of these chains of accidents were leading her to believe that something major was about to happen.
They couldn't broadcast what Ty had recorded with his camera in Petalburg Forest,however.
Because of broadcast regulations.
Obviously,the dude felt really sad,
really.
If it weren't for the regulations,Steven would've been able to know what happened to Chairman Stone from television broadcasts.Yet,the chairman asked Sapphire to hand-deliver the letter personally,which meant that the chairman was aware that the incident wouldn't be allowed to be broadcasted.(<---Maryann and Tyler's deduction)
~Clicky~
Not to mention the logo on their bandanas,and the same markings on their pokemon.It must've been the symbol of the criminal group,Maryann quickly told Ty to use his laptop and find out about the organisation.
---
Roxanne introduced herself as the Gym Leader of Rustboro.Sapphire,upon seing the woman quickly asked her for a gym battle.The Gym Leader,had other plans,passing out what seemed like exams papers to the people who were seated.
Before Sapphire could continue,two(probably Roxanne's helpers) men wearing blue suits grabbed the girl and forced her on one of the seats.
Roxanne-For questions..please raise your hand and remain in your seat.
The girl had a confused look on her face,as Roxanne gave her a test paper as well.
The test itself was the gym challenge.(XDXD)
As there were too many people who wanted to challenge her,Roxanne would hold tests once each week,and the top scorer each time would get to have a gym battle with her.Sapphire sighed,
a flame igniting in her eyes(literally.XP) as she remembered her father telling her that each gym had its own rules.
But...
Throughout the whole test,the girl continued asking the gym assitants to help her read all the words she couldn't,receiving annoyed glares and shushes.The girl really didn't have proper education anyway.As the exam ended and the papers were brought to the back of the gym for marking,Roxanne giggled,saying that
one had better learn to read before coming back for a gym challenge.
Then,one of her assitants ran out to the front,passing a particular test paper to her,and whispering into her ear.A smile spread across on the Gym Leader's face as
she held the paper out for the everyone to see.
Roxanne then proceeded to read out the taker's name.
"Birch,Sapphire."
"Birch?!"she raised an eyebrow and stared at Sapphire,who gave her a small chuckle and embarassed smile.
Sapphire-Hehe,you know my Papa?
Still in disbelief,Roxanne walked over to her desk,and pushed the big red(buttons are always red in color.>D)button on it.
Can't decribe cause I ish lazy.>_>
Sapphire immediately hopped off her sit onto the challenger's corner,exclaiming that she could finally battle with the Gym Leader of Rustboro.The second test,Pokemon Battles,starts now-
A Nosepass and Aron appeared on the battlefield.The girl ordered Rono to use Metal Claw,but Roxanne's Nosepass countered using Harden,no scratches or anything were visible on its hard body.She commented on how strong the pokemon was,deciding to battle with her Torchic instead.
However...
Meanwhile,out on Sea Route 105,a fisherman and his Wingull spot something floating on the water.----
Countdown to Deadline-76 days
----
Aw..sorry that the chappie was late today.Got caught up with something else which I seem to have forgetton...o.O
Me thinks that this chappie was quite funneh.Sapphire's expressions in this one were priceless(XD).^^
And,yay!Ruby!!!^0^
Floating out in sea for a day and he still manages to survive!That's my Ruby!^-^
