    ... from a time that is so long that the narrator got bored and they had to hire a new one...
    The pokemon universe in modern day society is unpredictable. It hinder us, it guides us, it questions us, and it can even trouble us. Well, not really "trouble" per se...though it is a beautiful word to say. In the world of Pokemon, pocket monsters, also known as creatures known as pokemon, inhabit this world. People use them for a variety of things: some use them as pets. Some use them for contests. Some use them for battling. But was that the only way to use pokemon? The possibilities are endless. Pokemon remain as our irreplaceable partners, and they help us with a variety of tasks.

    You've been recognized as a person with inspiring talents, by a traveling ringmaster from a traveling circus known as the Swing Lows, also known as "The Gang of Weirdos". You've been then working with the traveling circus for a couple of years, traveling to different regions, and performing for a variety of different people. This time, the circus is traveling throughout the Hoenn region, traveling to city to city, performing their individual skills, as well as helping those in need, and meeting a variety of colorful, yet familiar characters along the way . The circus first docked in the harbor in Slateport City, where its aim is to travel to city to city, all the way to the site where the Hoenn League is supposed to take place, also known as Ever Grande City for their grandest stage ever.

    However, meanwhile, the so-called beloved ringmaster, plots a shady, sinister plan...

    Name: Trisha Kou
    Gender: Female
    Age: 16
    Profession: Lion tamer
    Your appearance: "image removed"
    Trisha has a dark and slightly intimidating air about her, especially when she flashes her sneaky smile. Her eyes are big and darkly brown and her hair is completely black. Her skin isn't really dark but she isn't as pale as most others. She is pretty, tall and skinny. For clothes, she often wears leather pants or other dark long pants as well as loose shirts with long sleeves, as well as boots. When performing, she wears leather pants, scarves, sometimes hats, a whip and most often very little on the top of her body, to the men's delight.

    Your history: Trisha joined the circus about three years ago, when it was in Sinnoh near Sandgem Town. She wasn't as social or funny as other kids and felt alone. She accidentally ran into a cub Shinx when she was fleeing from some bullies and took care of it in secret until it evolved into Luxio. Her parents were worried about her, but she thought they were dumb. When the circus came to her hometown, Trisha was amazed by everything there. She had actually been playing and practicing some tricks with Luxio and one afternoon when the circus still was there, they was playing outdoors, trying to mimic something Trisha had seen at the show. The ringmaster had suddenly come and seen her, and said that he appreciated her talents and wanted her to come with him. Trisha was slightly scared but felt a new world open up. A chance to leave this gloomy life behind and travel. She said yes, of course. Her parents were heartbroken but it didn't help. Trisha knew this was what she needed to do. And for the next years, she grew from being a shy, dark, lonely teenager girl into a clever, still dark, attractive young woman. She is very loyal to the ringmaster and would probably follow him blindly, at least to begin with, if he should ask anything of her.

    Your personality: Owning all of her self-confidence and security nowadays to the circus, Trisha puts it and its members before all. She might seem cold, sarcastic and downright mean at times... and maybe she is. But she would go any length to protect her "family members", the other performers, just because she feels she owns it to them. She has been known to lure guys with her dark attractiveness, but that's all just for fun since she has never been in love or really cared for any other men than the ringmaster and her fellow circus performers. If someone should mention parents, she would laugh coldly and walk away.


    Pokemon 1 -"image removed"
    Species: Luxray
    Nickname: Samson

    Short history: As a cub, he went too far from his pack one day and ran into a devastated Trisha. Being somewhat sensitive about others' feelings, Samson forgot about being lost and tried to cheer her up by playing with her. It worked and since that day he didn't really want to leave her. He evolved into a Luxio after a while and after a few months in the circus he evolved again into an agile and rather large Luxray. They are the closest of friends and even though he can't always understand all the girl's words, he quickly and accurately senses her mood and feelings and usually know what to do to help her if she's angry or sad or confused.

    Short personality: He looks like a big, dangerous lion, just as dark as his tamer, but he really is cuddly inside. Often being the only thing to balance Trisha and make sure she doesn't fall over into the world of her own thoughts, he is rather cheerful and kind. When they are in shows, though, he takes on a dark appearance that can scare any kind of audience.

    How does it help your profession? Trisha is a lion tamer. When they perform, Samson's job is first to act as dangerous as possible, and Trisha "tames" him, forcing him to obey her. Then he makes tricks. Sometimes it's jumping through hoops of fire, sometimes it's hitting targets with a Thunderbolt or smashing walls of things with Spark. And if Trisha really is feeling like it, maybe if there are a lot of kids in the audience, Samson can to tricks like sitting, lying down, jumping on two feet and such, which usually yields both laughter and applause from the crowd.

    Good SU, Rika!
    Accepted!


    As for my own SU....

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ​


    Name:     Rachel     Fernandez
    Gender: Female
    Age: 19
    Profession: Juggler

    Your appearance:     https://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSChdMt9IvdCWQrG6MSHW5vUmTMNyYB04lAJizqMscFp_cQ6HI09g

    Your history:     Rachel was born in Vermillion City in Kanto, where her mother and father almost lived at Poverty. She was then at the age of 2, abandoned by her mother and father, since her mother and father were so belong the poverty line that they did not have the finances to care for Rachel, so they abandoned Rachel at an orphanage near outside Vermillion. Rachel grew up at that particular orphanage, she was bullied all her childhood by people who say she was "the odd one out". Thus, by the time she was 11, Rachel toughened up in personality; she had a bit of a temper, yet she was also pretty sarcastic. When she was 12, she became adopted by a man known as     Maximillion (Max) Fernandez, the ringmaster of a circus known as The Swing Low. Rachel became fascinated by all the different types of pokemon, the magicians, the acrobatics, and especially the jugglers.

    When she was 14, she decided to try and join Max's circus, so she started to practice juggling. However, she thought that it was impossible to juggle more than three plastic balls. All the while, she had become more frustrated every-time she juggled, so she finally decided to give up after a month of trying. That was when Max gave her some advice: "Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality". Rachel became somewhat inspired by those words, which encouraged her to try harder. So, Rachel continued practice juggling until she reached the age of 17, where she finally got the hang of it, which she was able to now juggle at least 6 plastic balls. One day while practicing, she noticed a Aipom watching her from afar. The Aipom was a trickster, so it used to tease her by stealing the plastic balls she practice with. Aipom was playing jokes on Rachel for days until it was revealed to Rachel that the Aipom liked to juggle as well. Rachel was uncaring at first, but then she started to play with the Aipom with juggling, so it was a basic two-man juggling show. As she turned her current age, 19, Aipom evolved to Ambipom, and she and Ambipom became the best of friends, and decided to travel with the circus, performing in front of thousands -- millions even.

     Your personality: Rachel is a blunt, bold person with a southern accent who is usually the one quick to judge. She was bullied while she was living at the orphanage which caused her to be more judgmental and have a wild temper. She is also surprisingly very sarcastic, especially around Max the ringleader, and her fellow performers. She has a aura about her that spells out that she likes her friends, but in certain moments, she can't stand them if they become too annoying. She also has a deep fascination of the outside world more than anything; which encouraged her to travel the circus, with her deep performance fire. During performances, she is still the hot-headed, sarcastic woman that she is, but she also has a seriousness to her that wants to be perfect when performing.

    [PokeCommunity.com] Swing High, Swing Low ♫ (PG-13)

    Species: Ambipom
    Nickname: Raul

    Short history:     Raul was once upon a time a Aipom where it lived in a forest near the outskirts of Viridian where the circus once traveled too. While Rachel was practicing to juggle, the Aipom watched her from afar, which then it decided to play tricks on her by stealing the plastic balls Rachel was practicing with. One day when Rachel tracked down the Aipom while it was playing a joke on her, she noticed that Aipom was too starting to juggle. It looked like it had so much fun. Rachel was uncaring though, so she still demanded her plastic balls back, which Aipom decided to eventually throw her the balls it juggled with. That was when Rachel had an idea: she threw the balls back to Aipom as Aipom threw them back, until a juggiling motion was put into place. Rachel and Raul both had so much fun, that Rachel decided to keep Aipom as her partner pokemon. As the years grew by, Aipom matured into a Ambipom, which they today, continued to perform together in the art of juggling.

    Short personality: Raul the Ambipom is mischievous, yet shy. When it first meet someone, it tends to creep up behind Rachel and hide. On the other hand, when it warms up to someone, it tends to play a bunch of tricks to them to have a laugh.

    How does it help your profession? - Rachel and Ambipom first starts out the performance by juggling individually. Then, as time passes, the number of objects they juggle increases. Then, as time passes some more, they each thrower each other the objects they juggle, until a juggiling motion comes between the two. Sometimes, Ambipom purposely throws the objects too hard, which ends up hitting Rachel square in the face and head, which causes laughter and hilarity.

    I'll make a bio before the weekend's over, I promise, just finished another two bios......anyway, please reserve a role for me.
     
    I would also like to reserve a spot. This is an interesting idea. :D
     
    Dang. I kinda really wanted to join this.
    ...
    This is where you say, "maybe we can make an exception." :nervous:
     
    Thank you sooo much. It just sounded so much fun, and I really like these kinds of characters. I'll get my SU up soon!
     
    Name: Ariel Hernandez
    Gender:     Male
    Age:     17
    Profession:     Acrobat

    Your appearance:     Ariel is a very social guy who seems intimidating at first glance. Her eyes are big and darkly brown and her hair is completely black. He has tanned skin, and as for his stature, he is quite buff, and was first mistaken for a weaker strongman (not too buff, think Taylor Lautner). For clothes, he often wears black jeans with a black shirt, as well as black timberlands. While performing he wears usually a one piece, or a tight shirt and tight pants.

    Your history:     Ariel was born in Blackthorn City in Johto, where he was forced to steal for food. His parents could not even bear to look at him for some reason (he was born out of an affair), so he was left at an orphanage near New Bark Town. Still, he was made fun of and bullied out of his food, so he still had to go to the cities and to steal for food and clothing. By the time he was 11, he began looking intimidating, and had become tough, also being quite funny also. When he was 13 he met a man called Maximillion (Max) Fernandez, the ringmaster of a circus known as The Swing Low and the man adopted him. For Max to adopt Ariel, he had to have a talent. Max then saw Ariel steal a bag of oranges, using parkour to get away from the people chasing him.

    When he was fourteen, he decided to join his circus. He went inside of the circus and just tried flipping and leaping without any protection. He broke his left leg, and even now still has a small limp. He gained a fear of acrobatics, until he had to use acrobatics to save an Axew, because it was stuck in a high branch of a tree. Eventually, he was back, and was able to do acrobatics, without using protection, but still uses a net. The Axew must have grown attached to him, because the Axew began balancing on its arm and doing flips. Eventually, he did his act with Axew and when Axew evolved into Fraxure, Fraxure would use the sides of its mouth to fling Ariel into the air, and would even do flips with Fraxure. When Fraxure evolved into Haxorus, when Ariel was 17, Ariel decided to travel with the circus, after mending his act a bit.

    Your personality:     Ariel is a very social guy, who is called blunt to most, but he believes that he beats around the bush. He was forced to steal when he was younger, so due to that he is a great pickpocket, and he has a generally negative opinion of people, usually treating them coldly, unless he feels the kindness emanating from them. He is a very funny guy but only his friends, and fellow performers know that he is humorous. Ariel is somewhat annoying at times, but he tries to never offend people. He is quite naïve, but he is a genius, he always wants to know more, and thus reads a lot of books. While performing, he has a playful tone about himself, but he also very serious and on the point.

    Species:     Haxorus
    Nickname:     Hax

    Short history:     Haxorus was once an Axew which stowed away in one of the circus cars, travelling with the circus. One day, Axew, after watching another acrobat jump down from a tightrope onto various banisters and landing unscathed, decided to jump from a tree. Axew then froze up, unable to jump from that high a height. Ariel was forced to go and to use his own form of acrobatics to save the Axew. Eventually, they decided to do acrobatics together, always backing each other up.

    Short personality:     While an Axew, Haxorus was very shy, naïve, and timid. But as it grew and evolved, Haxorus became very confident and boisterous. Of course Haxorus is still somewhat shy, but now, Haxorus always can put on a good show. But, no one dares scare Haxorus, because Haxorus will go into a mad rage.

    How does it help your profession?     – Primarily, Haxorus will be released from the pokeball on a halfway ledge, then Haxorus will throw Ariel up into the air, when Ariel will then begin flipping and grabbing things to change his direction. Ariel will then flip in the air continuously, as Haxorus will cannonball to the other side flipping at a high speed, and Ariel will land on Haxorus and leap backwards, like he is going to fall, Haxorus will hang onto the platform by its feet, and Ariel will jump on the axe like things on the side of Haxorus' mouth, and then Haxorus will move up at a high speed, flinging Ariel into the air, Ariel will then flip a few times, and use Haxorus' tail as a bar, such as to spin around, and then will flip onto Haxorus' back to end the performance.

    The RP Sample will be put up later.

    ...is waiting for Miss Doronjo to Accept...

    Name:     Oleander Simon
    Gender: Female
    Age: 14
    Profession: Comedy Duo (incorporating her Ditto as a makeup-ed copy of herself; the "joker" of the duo, Oleander being the "straight-man")

    Your appearance:     Oleander has flawless skin, which is a light caramel color. Her eyes are milky white, only a distinctive shading of color separating the iris from the eye itself. Her eyelashes are bright and long. Her nose is thin, short and small, set between her eyes with the bridge barely reaching past the bottoms of the eyes. Her lips are thin and small, usually only forming a small smile. Her ears are small, with practically no lobes at all, and she has a high forehead. Her hair is a blindingly platinum blonde, reaching down onto her shoulders in a wavy fashion. Oleander has cheekbones anyone would die for, and her chin is rounded, yet not too rounded, so that it still visibly protrudes.

    She has a slight frame, with shoulders close together. Her arms are long and graceful, leading down to similar hands which just reach the middle of her thighs. She is slim, and her legs are a bit long, and are thin. Her knees are, in no way, knobby, rather a little hidden. Oleander's feet are small and quick.

    She wears, when not in character, a simple, light-blue t-shirt with short short sleeves (the ones that only cover shoulders), a light-gray wool, hand-knitted hoodie, which has sleeves just a smidgeon too long for her arms, almost covering up her hands. Dark-blue skinny-jeans and tan leather sandals complete the outfit, with her hair tied up in a ponytail and either contacts or a pair of neon-green-framed glasses on her myopic eyes.

    When she is in character, though, her outfits could vary widely, from a cowgirl to a pirate to a pop star. Literally--those are her three main characters. A cowgirl with a passion for rodeo, countered by a stupid stepsister, a pirate princess, countered by a ship's boy, and a pop star, countered by a huge fan. But the possibilities are endless, really, what she could be wearing next.
    Your history:     Oleander was born in Viridian City, to a teenage mother. She was put up for adoption immediately, and she was picked up immediately by a lovely couple on vacation from Fuschia City.     And, of course, on the plane back, Oleander cried. The whole flight. They got off of the plane at the airport, got some nasty looks, and went home to their son, Blake, and his babysitter, Gabe. Gabe took his ad out of the newspaper as soon as he got paid. Blake was eight, and he was a loner. But this is for Oleander, not Blake. Oleander grew up in a snug little house with a modest life until she was eight, when her father got a promotion and they got a lot more money. They moved into a mansion, but Oleander had already developed her quiet, humble personality, so she wouldn't get spoiled. Blake was living at home, sixteen, and he was always with his best friend, Lionel the Houndoom. Oleander had formed a bond with him, and they were almost as close as he and Blake. Oleander was growing older, and when she was eleven, she went for a walk and met Lilly (see the Pokemon Bio). She brought her home, and to her parents' and Blake's surprise, two girls came through the door when she got home. Oleander and Lilly kept the secret that Lilly was a Ditto, as she could replicate vocal cords, unlike most Ditto. They said Lilly was so ticklish it hurt, as a last resort to avoid the truth.

    The two seemed to have a knack for comedy, and so they started an improv group. A few kids from around joined, and they performed at a local park. It got way positive feedback, and they eventually started a club, with the initial members being the leaders. Although, Oleander and Lilly just weren't feeling it anymore. They quit and handed the job to the most senior member other than them, Jeremy Thompson. After that, they picked up a comedy act, where Oleander was the straight-man and Lilly was the joker. Their performances for this act got particularly high ratings, among all of them a certain man: Maximillion "Max" Fernandez. They arranged a meeting with him, and talked to him about why he liked them so much. He said that he ran a circus group, the Swing Lows, and when Oleander heard the word "circus" she freaked out. She had always loved circuses, and seemed to be psychic as she asked if they could join. Max, of course, the reason he came being to ask them to join, said yes, although he said they'd need a parent's consent. Lilly was frightened, as she was "the family friend", but very like the second daughter, and so Oleander and Lilly let Max in on the secret. He didn't seem surprised in the slightest, and so they arranged to ask Oleander's parents on her thirteenth birthday, two months away.

    She was her own entertainment, and she and Lilly had a great outcome. Half of the guests Oleander didn't even know; they'd sneaked in to see her and Lilly perform. Max was in the crowd, and as soon as the show was over Lilly pulled Oleander's mom and dad, Blake, and, with some effort, Lionel, onto the stage to hear the news. Oleander's mom and dad were proud, and Blake just cried. Lionel seemed very affectionate, and blew a small flame in honor of their achievement. They packed that night, and early in the morning, they left, saying their goodbyes and heading off.

    Your personality:     Oleander is a reserved girl, but is not afraid to speak up or talk. She just likes to keep to herself. She's very humble and would give not to get, but to give. She is very hospitable and warm-hearted,     and can easily read emotions on a person's face. She loves the outdoors and likes to play basketball and soccer (football, as her parents sometimes called it.) She is good with Pokemon and is very patient and temperate. She can speak her mind well, and loves to read and write. Oleander prefers not to talk, but she can keep a conversation going forever. She is adamant and likes history, as well as learning of different cultures and customs. She's optimistic and open-minded, and absolutely loves a good challenge.

    But she's got a contradictory trait--she's very antisocial, and it's hard for her to make friends. She's a little quick to judge, but is in no way prejudiced. And Oleander Simon gets way in love way too fast--she's driven a lot of boys away like that. And it just keeps going because she's so nice and I'll save it for the RP...

    Your starting pokémon

    Pokemon 1 -
    Species: Ditto
    Nickname: Lilly

    Short history:     Oleander caught Lilly trying to pose as a fruit stand owner, and as Lilly was wheeling the cart away, which the real vendor never did in the middle of a busy day, she sneaked up behind her and tickled her back. She quivered, and she lost the vendor's form. She turned around, with a sad look on her face. Oleander couldn't stay mad, and she let her tag along. She often Transforms into Oleander, forcing her to change and put on makeup so that they don't look exactly the same.

    Short personality:     Lilly is a trickster, leading her to be the joker in their comedy duo. She'll pose as a little girl to get more money out of their street performances, even. She loves Oleander and would do anything for her, and would do nothing different. Despite being a trickster, though, she has a very serious side. But she'll always make light of the situation, if possible.

    How does it help your profession?     Lilly is the joker of the comedy duo, and acts as an oblivious, go-all-out-and-reckless-and-headstrong person.

    Until you have that done, we are actually going to start the RP.

    Just remember: The RP does not have a completely linear plot line, but rather follows in comic book style, having episodic chapters rather than a single linear event (though there is a main plot that will get introduced).

    Anyway, just so you know, the RP starts at Slateport City in Hoenn, where the ship where the circus performers traveled on docks in. Then, the ring master, Max, decides for everyone to get ready for the show on Slateport.

    How that comes about? Its all up to you~


    *****~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*****
    ​


    Hoenn was a tropical-like region where everyone was buzzing around in shops, and markets in tents and plaza's. While the atmosphere was buzy, the air was peaceful, and calm. It makes you want to go hungry. You can see a girl with a pink ballon and her mother walking down in a City known as Slateport.

    Then, there was a sound. It came from the horns of a ship. The girl and her mother looked towards the pier where the ship was docking. It had a logo that said: The Swing Lows: the Weirdest bunch on earth.

    The girl looked upwards toward her mother. "Mommy..." she started to ask. "What are...Swing Lows? Are they bad people?"

    "I never heard of them; only that they just appeared out of the blue a few years ago," her mother said. "Well anyway, I hope they aren't evil indeed! I get enough evil from home when your father watches the Kingler hockey team. Ugh...doesn't he know that those guys are the sorriest bunch of idiots ever? And don't get me started on his indigestion...ew."

    "Okay," the girl replied. "Mommy...What are...idiots? And what are... in..die...ges...tion?"

    "I will tell you when you're older." her mother replied.

    Meanwhile...

    "The ship has now arrived at Slateport."     the intercom for the ship announced.

    The Swing Lows are a circus group who have been performing for years -- they traveled around the world, along side they're partner pokemon. The ring master and owner of the group was known as Maximillion Fernandez, but everyone calls him "Max". Max had blond hair with a preppy magician outfit with matching purple pants. His top hat was also purple, but he didn't like wearing it outside of performances.

    Max's partner pokemon was a Flygon, where Flygon was said to be a "clown" during performances. In fact, Max dressed his Flygon with a big light blue clown top hat, and a big red rubber nose. Flygon was said to throw pastries at the audience, but as lightly as possible. Last time, Flygon hit someone with a cream pie so hard that the guy was knocked out for 10 minutes. Supposedly, Flygon was embarrassed to be a clown, so it took its anger on un-suspecting viewers.

    Anyway, the ship and the Swing Lows arrived at Slateport City, with Max the first to be eager, so he walked and raced up and down the ships docks and halls where the performer's rooms were. His Flygon was sitting down, leaning against a wall, nearby Max.

    ...Seriously, he's like a 10 year old at this sort of stuff.

    "Ah, my young friends!" he shouted. "Can you feel it! The atmosphere of Hoenn! The tastes of Hoenn cuisine! The smeeeelllll of the moldy skitties! It thrills me to be part of the atmosphere that ISSSSS HOENN!"

    Max was still continuing jumping up and down and racing on and about the halls of the ship. That was until he came across a certain room of a particular somebody: his adopted daughter: Rachel Fernandez. He wasn't known for respecting privacy, so he eventually decided to do a little dance, and burst open Rachel's room. Flygon was of course, un caring.

    Meanwhile, Rachel Fernandez was standing in her room in front of a mirror, listening to her mp3 player. She was constantly bored with the 3 day trip on the ship to Hoenn, but when finally here, she was un caring. Her partner pokemon Ambipom, was fast asleep on her unoccupied bed.

    "Samaurai Pizza cats..." she sang along with the music she was listening to. "We are going to have lots of fun--"

    "RACHEL!"

    "WHAT IN TARNATION--" Max's appearence in Dahlia's room made her stagger her a bit, and the impact woken up Ambipom. Rachel turned to Max, becoming very angry and very annoyed. "MAX! WHAT IN TARNATION ARE YOU DOING?! NOW HEAR THIS! YOU CAN'T JUST BARGE INTO A LADY'S ROOM! WHAT IF I WAS CHANGING?! OR WHAT IF I WAS PLANNING AN EVIL PLAN -- WHATEVER! YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT!!"

    "AH, BUT YOUNG RACHEL!" Max yelled back. "THE ATHICS OF THE NAKED BODY ARE NO MATCH FOR THE JOYS OF PERFORMING! For we have arrived in Slateport City! 'The heart of Hoenn' as I would like to call!"

    "...You never change Max," Rachel sighed. " I say, I've known for 5 years you always have the heart of a 5 year old pre-pubesent boy."

    Max smiled. "Heh, you haven't changed yourself," he said. "That's good! We need that sort of hilarity!"

    "Sure..." Rachel gagged as Ambipom looked on. "I reckon I'm going to spread 'hilarity' by throwing people a bone and tell them all about yer' fantasy tales about 'southern chicks' and have those pervert boys have an excuse to continue to say the word: (butt)".

    "That would be great! I look forward to it!" Max said in joy. "Now, I'm going to help the other's prepare. Why don't you prepare too and when you're ready, we can head on out to the streets of Slateport and when we perform, you can tell them all about that! Well anyway, seeeeee yaaaaaa!"

    Rachel sighed. "Dummy can't even tell my sarcasm..." she sighed as she turned to her awoken Ambipom. "Come on Raul; I reckon we outta get ready."
     
    "The ship has now arrived at Slateport." the intercom for the ship announced.

    Trisha looked up from the book she was reading. Outside the tiny window in her cabin, the sun was shining on a harbor. They had arrived in Hoenn.

    "Come, Samson," she said, stroking the head of the large lion who lay on the floor at her feet. He got up, took one of her bags in his mouth while she carried the other one, and followed her silently out of the room.

    Walking through the corridors of the ship, she heard some familiar voices.

    "RACHEL!"

    "WHAT IN TARNATION--"

    Trisha smiled softly. Max was happy about being here. He had been almost annoyingly excited ever since he announced that they would travel to this distant island. And Trisha's "big sis" Rachel would by the sounds of it join her on deck soon.

    The sea breeze swept through Trisha's long hair as she got up on the deck. Slateport. The big city was in front of her eyes, stretching out. No really tall buildings, and lots of joyful people. Maybe Max was right. This could be a good place to start off in. Trisha looked at her bags. She had everything packed. And if one of the others wanted help, they should ask her. She was fine here at the moment, with the sun in her face and Samson sitting beside her, smiling in the wind.


    ((OOC: for some reason, my fingers wanted to write Trisha as a bit melancholic ^^' At least now when she's arriving in an unfamiliar region.))
     
    Rachel finally finished packing her suitcase and bags as she and Raul the Ambipom headed out the room. All the while she walked down the main hall, she noticed Max once again pestering the members of the circus. "Up and at em'! While the day is young!" he would say.

    "That Max..." Rachel thought. "He outta have a muffler or somethin'. In fact, I'm going to give him a dare: he has to shut up for a week. No stakes or nothin', he has to shut up for a week." Raul chuckled as he helped Rachel carry some bags.

    Rachel was too preoccupied on watching Max as she then all of a sudden bumped into someone. "Oof!" she said as the bump made her tumble a bit.

    "I tink my node id browken..." Rachel said as she rubbed her nose. She looked up, and saw that the person she bumped into was Charlie, the Strongman. "Oh...Charlie...fancy bumpin' onto you here."

    "I am Charlie the Strongman, alright, comrade?" Charlie corrected. "The title...it is important."

    "I see you haven't lost you're ego..." Rachel sighed as she stood up. "Its about as big as your muscles."

    "Wahahahaha!" Charlie heart warmingly laughed. "But of course! My muscles...they think of themselves! They are rivale dby no one else! Well...except of course..."

    "Maaaachamp!" that was the cry of Charlie's partner pokemon: Raphael the Machamp. Raphael helps Charlie perform on stage by lifting as much weight as Charlie does -- both with two hands and one hand.

    "Eheheheheh," Charlie laughed. "Raphael is the ONLY one that could of best me in the game of weights! You know what they say! MUSCLE OVER MIND, yeah?"

    "...I believe its Mind over Muscle." Rachel corrected.

    "Bah! YOU TALK OF NOTHING!" Charlie said in digust as he raised his arms in the air. "BE HOLD! Our mighty muscles! Ready Raphael!" "Maaaachamp!"

    All of the sudden...Charlie and Raphael started to flex like they were in a "muscular man" contest. Rachel and Raul wasn't very impressed. In fact, they both gave hard, sqquinty looks at the both of them. Rachel looked like she was going to throw up.

    "...Ew..." Rachel squealed as she and Raul quickly slipped away, without Charlie and Machamp notcing them.
