"Haha....don't think I can't do a split too!" Skye exclaimed, and promptly dropped into a full split. "Sensei really pushed us all to be felxible!"

Skye then rose from the ground. Her right leg bent at her side, such that her knee was over her toes. Her left leg was perpendicular to her right, but locked straight, her toes pointing towards Nat. She dropped her arms downwards towards her bent leg, her hands open, and fingers pressed tightly together. Slowly, her arms began to curve, keepig them parallel to each other, towards her other leg, and rose slowly. When the move was complete, her right arm was straight up, but bent at the elbow, reaching across the space above her head, and pointing in the direction of her straight leg. Her left arm was arranged such that it created a square with the right arm. Skye's face was solemn, deep in concentration, as she shifted her stance to the left, and mirrored the move once more.

"THis is fun!" she said happily, drawing up so that her leg were together and straight. She cupped her left hand in her right at her right side, and waited for Nat to move once more.
 
Nat stretched her left leg behind her and slowly bent down. Her hands grasped her right ankle and he left leg was now straight up. Concentrating deeply, she bent her right leg as far as it would go without ruining her balance and straightened it again. She then allowed her left leg to travel over her head and her hands met the ground. Once the left had traveled aways, her right lifted from the ground and she completed a back walkover.

She rose and shanie turned back to where Skye was standing. She pikaed around her and whispered "After you do whatever your next move is, should we head up to where Ali and Anna are?" There was a light of, almost hope in Nat's eyes. She was a hopeless romantic.... and it was bound to get her into trouble.
 
"Sounds good!" Skye whispered.

She followed up Nat's brillinat and graceful moves with a continuation of the kata she had already begun with her last set of movements. Her hands were still in their cupped position, and she snapped into a front stance, pushing her arms outwards in an "x" shape. She then proceeded to walk foward in two more front stances, throwing a double-reinforced inside block each time.

Drawing her back leg upwards along her front leg, so that her legs formed the letter "p" she kicked out to her left side with the foot she had drawn upwards, while throwing a strike with her left hand. Retracting her hand to clasp the elbow of her other arm, so that her arms were extended but crossed in front of her. When her hand made contact with her elbow, it made a harsh, powerful smacking sound.

She drew her right leg up to her left, and repeated the move. When that was completed, still in a strong front stance, her right arm went to her forehead, looking very much like a dramatic swoon, and her left arm shot downwards and back, parallel to he rback leg. Shifting her stance ninety degrees, she snapped her downwards hand to her forehead in the swoonish pose, and snapped her right arm down so that her fingers pointed fowards from her chin.

Completing the first half of her kata, Skye brought her right hand behind her head in a fist, drawing her back leg up to her front for a kick, while beinging her left arm, her hand in a fist, to her side. She kicked with her right leg, her calf muscles taunt with her pulled back toes. Her right foot landed hard on the ground, her bare foot making a loud, bellowing pounding noise as she made contact. She brought her left foot behind her right, crossing her legs gracefully, while bringing the fist behind her head down in a downwards strike, her arm bent at the elbow. She remained like that, in her stance, completely balanced and in concentration, awaiting Nat's final move.
 
Still floating in meditation with his newly evolved Kadabra, Dex glanced over at the unusual site of the 2 dancers.

"Hmm..And here I thought I had to refrain from encouraging them to look ridiculous." he said aloud, and went back to meditation
 
Amazed at what Skye had done, Nat performed one more back walkover and rose slowly.

She stretched her arms to the sky and spun rapidly. She completed 2...3...4...5...6..7...8 consecutive turns, her head snapping around as she spotted on an oak tree. With each turn, her left leg shot out and in, giving her the propulsion she needed to complete the next turn. Nat stopped her spinning suddenly, he left leg shooting out behind her. She reached down for her ankle again, her legs at a 180 degree angle to each other. She rose and pushed herself up onto pointe again and boreted to the left, then to the right. She did two shenaes, two pikeas (both are different turns) her head snapping as she continued to spot the oak tree. She then leapt her legs bent gracefully. It seemed that Nat didn't fall, she floated. She floated down and landed her jump and sank into the splits. To the onlooker, it seemed that Nat had merely leapt into the splits. She stretched her right arm to the sky while her left stayed on the ground. She turned her head to looke up and then brought her face down to her knees.

Nat held this pose for awhile then rose again. She looked at Skye and started giggling. "That was so cool, Skye! You'll have to teach me some of those moves!!" she said, starting in the direction of thier audience.

Then, she saw them. The ingrate of a boy who had insulted her training skills and her Raichu. She glared at him and the Kadabra floating by him. SO he could meditate, big deal. She was known to meditate every once in awhile herself, but found dancing to be more relaxing. He seemed to almost be laughing at them, as if he thought they looked stupid. Nat jerked her head in his direction, to let Skye know he had been watching also.
 
Skye rolled her eyes at the sight of the gothic-esque trainer. Agile glared at him angrily, some sparks building up in her cheeks. She looked at Ruby with concern, worried that she might feel inclined to do something about the unwanted onlooker.

"Oh, don't worry about him," Skye assured Nat. "He doesn't matter. He can go on being negative and unfeeling all he wants, just as long as he doesn't interfere with us."
 
Nat nodded silently. She wished for a chance to battle him, but knew it was stupid. His pokemon was a Psychic element.... not exactly Ruby's strong point.

The two then came upon Ali and Anna. "Did you enjoy the performence then?" she asked, smiling at them.
 
Ali immediately covered the sketch with the cover of the sketch-book, mildly blushing.

"Yeah, that was great!" He smiled, shoving the book into his bag. He glared at the trainer, not very pleased to see him.

"Skye… I don't think he's your type, he's way too cocky," He said to Skye, hoping she knew he was kidding.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Julia ran out of the Drama Studio to Naru, incredibly excited.

"Oh my gosh me and my pokemon all did fantastic!" She told Naru, jumping around uncontrolably.

"You see, they're looking for singers, dancers, and plain ol' actors-as long as you can do one of those, you'll be fine! And I know you're a good actress, it's the only class I have with you!… Then again, it's the only none academic class you're taking!" She said to Naru, playfully. Naru was called in a few moments later.
 
Nat saw how hurridly Ali stuffed a book into his bag. She also noticed his blush. She smiled and wondered what it was.

When Ali mentioned Skye liking the gothic trainer again, she sat down. She found it hard to stand when overcome with bouts of laughter. She looked up to see the expresion on Skye's face as she began undoing the laces running up her leg.

Her toes were a sight to see. 9 of the 10 were bleeding, and all had small purplish scars on them. She pulled the 1st aid kit from her bag and rummaged around for some band-aids. After wrapping her toes and the sticky comfort of the bandaids, she slid her feet into her tennies.

She stuffed the kit back into her bag and looked up at her friends.
 
"That was very good!", Anna said happily. She then looked in the direction of the other trainer.
"He is so going to get it... I now why I need to train... to show him friendship is way more powerful that sheer power itself....", she thought to herself. She stood up and Leo hoped of his trainers lap looking over in the direction to, to the Kadabra.
"Eevee... vee... ee..," the small pokemon said in a somewhat angry voice that reflected his trainers feelings.
"I'm going to skip my next class today... I need to go train..," Anna said gathering her things and walking off, Leo at her heels.
 
Dex and his pokemon continued to strain under the power of meditation, when suddenly, Merlin collapsed to the floor and fell on his back, Dex insantly stopped meditating, objects crashing to the floor, he picked up his pokemon.

"My old friend...Are you alright?" he said, with the 1st trace of any emotion since he had arrived in the academy. Merlin nodded slowly and it seemed to make him relax, he stood up, allowing Merlin to put an arm around his shoulder for support.

"Age is getting to you my friend, 150 years of age and you start to feel old now.." he said, with an actual hint of joke." Merlin seemed to chuckle slightly and shook his head, a few words were exchanged in their minds psychically.
"Thats enough mental training for today...lets go back to our room and rest old friend, youve only just evolved, and hopefully, if my theory is correct, you will evolve again tomorrow.."

He helped the hobbling Kadabra out of the courtyard and back towards his room.
 
OOC: I am bringing in another chara. Jasmine, she is not a student, more like a wanderer that has a grudge against Anna >.<
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Anna and Leo arrived at their normal training spot to see a trainer already training.
"Mightyena! Rock Smash!", the girl cried, she had long black hair and was dressed in dark red. Her pokemon was a large Mightyena which got rid of a rock extremly quickly. The pokemon turned to see Anna and Leo
"Might...", the pokemon growled.
The girl turned to see Anna and a sly smile came across her face.
"The one I seek has arrived... I shall test her skill," the girl thought to herself.
"Who are you?", Anna asked.
"I am Jasmine... and I challange you to a battle! My Mightyena versus your Eevee!", the girl said, her Mightyena jumped infront ready for a battle.
Anna looked unsure of what to do, but Leo seemed to want to fight and got ready to battle.
"Fine! Leo use Iron Tail!", Anna called.
"VEE!", Leo cried catching Mightyena off guard slamming it into a tree.
"Mightyena! Crunch!", Jasmine cried.
Mightyena recovered and launced an attack at Leo. Leo jumped to the side gracefully dodging the attack and started to run in for an attack.
"Quick Attack! Then use Take-Down!", Anna called. Leo did both attacks, leaving Mightyena weak.
"Mightyena Return...", Jasmine said walking away. "We shall battle again..."
Anna looked as Jasmine vanished. "I wonder what her problem was huh... what do ya think Leo? LEO?!?!", Anna said looking to Leo who had started to glow. Suddenly instead of the shy, small Eevee stood a graceful Espeon.
"Espeon..," Leo said. He had evolved.
"WOW! I gotta tell the others! Leo return!", Anna said happily recalling her newly evolved pokemon.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Naru walked to Julia with a huge smile on her face.
"I knew I'd do well, that was very easy," she said slyly. "Acting is one thing I don't need to pratice for, my cousin always said that."

Ali saw Anna running towards the group, with a majestic beast running beside her.

"Is that Leo?…" Ali asked himself, unaware of his surroundings. Princess watched, a bit frightened. If that was Leo, he sure had gotten larger than before… Something Princess wasn't too fond of. This would make it much harder for Princess to communicate with Leo.
 
"Guys! I got into some battle with this girl, Jasmine, and after the fight Leo evolved... into an Espeon!", Anna said happily, noticing Leo had not returned to his pokeball.
"Espeon, esp," Leo said to Princess in a reassuring tone with a happy smile on his face.
 
"That's great, Anna!" Ali said, rubbing the scruff of Leo's neck. Ali's mom owned an Espeon before, which she ended up giving Ali's older brother, Fox. He had always had a certain liking towards Evee's evolution tree. Princess slowly approached Leo, and happily rubbed her head against the side of Leo's leg, after feeling more comfortable a few moments later.

Julia smiled gleefully,

"This is fantastic!" She shouted, running up the stairs to her room with Naru following.

"We're supposed to get a letter slipped under our door tomorrow evening telling us whether or not we got the audition, this is going to be great!" Julia opened the door to their room, changing into a very large white shirt, and a short pair of white shorts, preparing for bed. She pulled up the covers as she was still sitting up, putting her back against the wall.
 
Naru changed into a cute little outfit for bed, a teeshirt with a Chibi Eevee in the middle, and the pants had a title pattern of the Eevee all over it, Eevee, and it's evolution tree where her favorite pokemon.
"This is exciting..", she yawned taking a seat at her desk starting to study again.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Anna looked to her watch.
"I had better start getting to my next class," Anna smiled recalling Leo to his Friend Ball and started to walk off into the building.
 
Dex sat down, cross legged in the dark, dark of his own room, Merlin Sitting beside him, in deep meditative sleep, it had been a hard day for him, Dex knew this already, the evolution always took it out of a pokemon, he needed a day or two before he attempted the proceedings to make him evolve once again, he sighed, if his past had taught him one thing, it was that the Abra family of pokemon was a strong, long lived one, and that Merlin should be fine, he closed his eyes, clapped his hands, turning out the light. closed his eyes in his meditive posistion and seemed to just shut off rather than go to sleep...tomorrow will be another day...
 
Nat congratulated Anna and watched her head back into the building. She then turned back to the others and smiled. "Made any new sketches lately, Ali?" she asked quietly. She knew Ali was into art as well and was eager to get a glimpse of his work.

Meanwhile, the sun was slowly setting behind them, bathing the scene in a thick orange light. The lighting toyed with the natural highlights in her black hair. Her green eyes twinkled as she waited for Ali to answer.
 
Ali looked deep into Nat's eyes. The sun seemed to make everything else disappear… He suddenly remembered the question Nat asked earlier, recalling the sketch he had done of her and Skye.

'It's the last sketch, I'll just try not to flip to it…' He told himself, thinking for a few moments before he gave a reply.

"Sure!" He finally said, walking to his bag, and taking the out the book he had hastily shoved into his bag earlier that day. He flipped the cover open to the first sketch, which was a picture of his younger sister, Julia, about the age of 3, with Gypsy-The family's Espeon, which was an Evee at that time. Ali waited for a reaction from Nat before he flipped the page over.
 
Skye winced as Ali mentioned the "attraction" she supposedly had for the strange new trainer. Instead of coming back with something witty, she merely stuck out her tongue.

Anna ran off to train, and Skye sat in the grass with Agile and the others. When Anna returned, an Espeon was at her side. She congratulated Anna, smiling at Leo.

"I think I'm going to go change," she told Nat and Ali, as Anna headed off to her last class. "I've got some homework to start on."

She got up, Agile on her shoulder, and started towards her room. Crossing her fingers, she looked back at Nat and Ali, hoping that everything would be all right between the two of them.
