(OOC: Alright PinkSapphire you're accepted. Personality was a bit short but that's alright. Now, onto my post!)

Israel was laying back relaxing after a hard day's training but awakened at the sound of a battle. It was coming from the direction of the Tauros and Miltank herd that he'd just fainted. He turned to Mary. "Hey Mary, looks like the herd's just woken up! Come on, you'll get to see me re kick those heifers behinds," said Israel smiling evilly. "Oh come on! Haven't the poor things suffered enough?" asked Mary jokingly. Israel thought about it and after about five seconds he came to this conclusion, "nope." Israel wanted those experience points, he had to keep up with John.

Israel arrived at the clearing shocked at what he saw. William Earl Stevens was battling the mother of all Tauros. To say that Earl and him didn't get along was an understatement. Earl hated Israel's guts; more than that, he wanted his woman. The thing about it was that Israel didn't particularly dislike Earl. He didn't like him either but if it weren't for the whole wanting to steal his fiance thing, he wouldn't really have a problem with him. In fact for some strange reason, Israel saw a little of himself in Earl. What disappointed Israel however is that the last time him and Earl met he had offered a truce. He offered that they put their differences aside to find a cure for Yasumi, the woman they both loved, who was dying. Earl rejected the offer. Apparently his hate for Israel outweighed his love for Yasumi.

"That's... William Earl Stevens!" said Mary all giddy. Israel turned his head. "Uh huh, and why do you care? He isn't exactly big news," he said taking a shot at Earl. "Are you kidding?! He's won three Pokemon league badges, and he's built like a football linebacker! Add that to his Cajun charm and dreamy eyes and you've got a fan in me," said Mary enthusiastic. Israel looked over Mary, she was attractive and obviously infatuated with Earl. He thought about how he could use her to win Earl over to his side.

His attention turned to the battle. Earl KOed the Tauros. Given any other situation Israel would've intercepted Earl and stole his capture. But instead he watched as the Cajun captured the Tauros and spun the Pokeball like a basketball. As Earl began to walk away Israel pulled out his Pokeball and sent out his Genger. Gengar sneaked up to Earl moving through the shadows of the fainted herd on the ground until he attached himself to Earl's shadow. Provided that Earl didn't detect him he began to use his Hypnosis attack to cause Earl to see nothing but darkness, fog, and trees as far as he could see. Israel wanted to show Earl something with this illusion, something that would MAKE him join Israel's side. Israel revealed himself to Earl stepping in front of the behemoth. He had his Alakazam with him.

"Long time no see and all that crap gringo!" said Israel, "you didn't take my offer last time we met. Maybe it's because you don't understand the weight of the situation. Now, you can either fight the Hypnosis with your mind shielding which works less effectively when your very soul is being possessed by a ghost, or you can listen. It's all up to you. Just know, if you don't listen you're in a world of hurt!"

Earl was just walking along, not really paying attention to much of anything until the whole area became covered in fog and darkness. For a split-second he became worried. This wasn't natural... This area was covered in sunshine not even a second ago. Plus Earl was feeling an unnatural chill running up his spine. Then all that was simply thrown to the side when Earl heard one of them few people he absolutely can't stand.

Israel... Of course he would have one of his Pokemon do this to Earl. Although Earl couldn't see him, he could hear the boy clearly. Nonetheless, this guy wanted to talk... Was it about Yasumi?

"You have my attention Cracker. Just get your Ghost-type out of me so we can talk man-to-man first. Trust me, this kind of mental torture is something I can stand for longer than you think."

"Ssseviper!" shouted Izanami, now knowing the full situation as she hissed angrily at Israel, slithering off of Earl's body. She was stopped in her tracks however, as Earl let out a deep hiss himself.

"Izanami, there's no need. Now, Israel, please do as I asked. I'll listen, and I promise I won't punch your jaw the instant I see you. You have my word as a southern gentleman."
 
(Ooc: -_- Can't a guy have time to post...?)

Silver Asakura


Jake finally stopped at the gas station. Silver was relieved 'cause now he could stretch his legs. "Ok, you're on food and gas duty. Go in there and ask the guy to put twenty bucks on this pump. Then use the change and get yourself some food and a Mountain Dew for me. Got it?" Mountain Dew? That's Silver's favorite soda! & SD's favorite soda too! He happily took the money & headed inside the store.

So food first. Silver got himself a bag of Doritos & 2 Mountain Dews. Doritos are good~ Anyway, he paid the guy at the counter, saving much money, & asked to put the rest on their pump. He walked back to Jake & their Pokemon with the stuff he bought. "Here's your Mountain Dew." Silver handed over one of the Mountain Dews to Jake & took out a bag of Doritos, started eating. "You can start adding gas now." He replied.

Aura couldn't wait any longer. He nudged Sweety to go & get Flare out of his Pokeball. He wants to fight him for what he did.
 
(OOC: No, you can't. x3 And Aspie, ame, the whole point of John getting ahead in levels is because he won't be around during the Celebi arc, meaning that if he doesn't get ahead, he'll fall too far behind. And, as Earl knows, John is a master at training and commanding his pokemon. Just saiyan.)

Jake

Jake nodded and took his drink, opening it and taking a sip as he began to pump the gas. He leaned against the car and yawned. The nineteen yearold wanted to keep moving, but they had to stay put. And he also needed to bond with Foxy a bit more, as the vulpix was only now starting to get used to contact human or pokemon, as well as his own name. And Aura... Was looking very grim. Maybe something to do with Sweety? No, she looked quite happy curled up on his head. Then maybe... Oh, he probably was angry at Flare. That would explain it. Well, only one thing for it then. He didn't like it, but he had to do something.

"Hey Silver... What would ypou say to a quick battle out here in the parking lot?" he said with a smile as he put the gas nozzle back and closed the compartment on the car.

Riley

Riley smiled at Glace and picked her up as he stepped into the sun. She blinked and looked around, not used to leaving the gym like this. He smiled and pet her gently as he walked down the steps and hopped on the bus. He took it out to the train station, and hopped on to go to the Smithsonian Museum of Pokemon and walked inside to a back room. He sat down at a desk and sighed, pulling a file out of a drawer and tossing it on the desk. Inside was a picture of a small, green fairt like pokemon. He tossed that aside and began to read the file, nodding to himself slightly.

(OOC: On second thought, why wait? Let's kick the Celebi arc off now! When John gets his badge, that's when it will begin, and he's going to do so in a few posts. Everyone in North Carolina will likely end up involved, so head there now if ou want to be a part of it!)
 

Silver Asakura


Just enjoying the splendid taste of Doritos. Silver couldn't help but go back inside the store & buy another bag, just for the taste. But that would a waste of money a bit. It's best to save enough money for other occasions, important stuff like supplies. Silver grabbed his own Mountai Dew to start drinking, when Jake interrupted hiw peace. "Hey Silver... What would you say to a quick battle out here in the parking lot?" A quick battle? Last time they battled, it wasn't a pretty time. It was for show of course, & Team Plasma was there being fooled. Just a quick battle though, it would be good training before the next gym battle for Silver. Maybe just one quick battle.

"Alright then. It'll be one-on-one only if that's okay." Silver agreed, smiling to Jake. It was gonna be exciting!

Aura took notice of the conversation & the battle coming up. Will he fight Flare now? He was gonna do it for Sweety of course. He gently moved Sweety of his head on to the car seat & jumped to the ground, walking up to Silver. "What's that? You wanna go for it?" Silver asked Aura, quite surprised. Aura stood in front, staring at Jake, giving him a face that says, Bring him out.

"Then I guess I'm choosing Aura!" Sillver squeaked out. Forgetting about everything else, Silver was 100% focused-well, 90%. The other 10% was on the Doritos.
 
(ooc: thank you for accepting ^^ then here's my first post :3)

Sapphire Hikaru

Sapphire is taking her stuff for her new travel, she just came back from her first travel but Sapphire can't wait to meet up with her friend Silver again. it has been quite a long time. 'Sapph! hurry up!' Yuki is all running around int he room being unpatiently. 'haha be patient.' Sapphire picks up the little Zorua and pets her little soft head. '(where are you going'?)' Hikari asks her. 'you mean where are WE going.' Sapphire corrects her with a nice smile. 'north carolina, lake lure.' Sapphire answers her question. it must be quite weird for other people to discover that she can actually talk to pokemon and understand them. 'let's go, Yuki, Kaede, return please.' Sapphire takes out two pokeballs and two red lasers brings the little Zorua and the Eevee into their pokeballs. there's no chance Sapphire can get Hikari into her pokeball, she doesn't want to get in her pokeball ever since they were young. Hikari jumps on Sapphire's shoulder as sapphire walks downstairs to the door. because no one is home today she left a note on the kitchen table. she takes a bus to the airport and gets on the air plane, she's lucky they don't tell her to put Hikari in her pokeball.

a few hours later they arrive, Hikari is sleeping and Sapphire wants her to keep sleeping. with Hikari in her arms she walks outside. 'Welcome in North Carolina.' she says to herself.
 
Name: Hazel Lockhart

Appearance: Hazel has shoulder - length Auburn hair, her hair seems to permanently have large, bouncy curls which glisten when the sun hits them. She has large, hazel eyes and a delightfully cheeky smile. Hazel usually wears pastel coloured dresses, shorts or skirts; anything that is slightly girly, really. She almost always wears t-shirts or vest tops and always ALWAYS wears her white and pink sneakers; which is the only part of her that isn't that feminine really. Her height is above average for a girl of her age (probably around 5 foot 8) and she is very slim, but still has some feminine curves.

Gender: Female

Age: Sixteen

Bio: Hazel was brought up in England for the most part of her life, only moving to the US when she was seven years old - some people compliment her British accent whereas others usually mock her for it, although it doesn't really phase her. Hazel has always been spoilt rotten by her parents, they bought her everything as she was growing up and she never felt the need to 'want' anything, it was just given to her. Most people would class this as the 'perfect life' and all of her friends would comment on how lucky she was for getting what she wanted all the time, when in reality it was killing her. What was the point in her being here if she never needed to work? Never needed to achieve anything in her life, because everything was being brought to her? It all seemed like a huge waste to her, which is why when she turned twelve, the Auburn headed girl left home; ready to embark on her own adventure, not caring about anything else. This was her life, and she was determined to live it the way that she wanted to, and what better way to spend it than with her Pokemon buddies! All of the places she would meet, all of the friends she would make.. It all seemed perfect to her and she would finally have purpose in her life, to be the best and never stop until it happened, which is still the attitude she has to this day.

Personality: Hazel is a bubbly, outgoing and slightly bonkers young girl; she is a kind-hearted and trustworthy person and won't hesitate if you're in trouble to come over and help, she is very faithful and loyal to her friends, although she has slight trust issues with people before she actually gets to know them. She loves listening to music and loves to dance when she's bored, reading is another one of her hobbies. Hazel loves her pokemon and spends most of her time bonding with them, she even calls them her 'best friends', even talking to them about what will happen in the near-future. Although Hazel is an intelligent individual, she can also be quite naive and lack common sense when it comes down to thinking on the spot, although she always figures things out in the end.

Pokemon:
Autumn (Growlithe♀) Lv. 15: Bite, Roar, Ember, Leer.
Skittle (Oshawott♀) Lv. 13: Tackle, Water Gun, Water Sport, Focus Energy.
Anther (Bulbasaur♂) Lv. 14 Tackle, Leech Seed, Vine Whip, Sleep Powder.​
 
OOC: duckified is accepted.

Earl was just walking along, not really paying attention to much of anything until the whole area became covered in fog and darkness. For a split-second he became worried. This wasn't natural... This area was covered in sunshine not even a second ago. Plus Earl was feeling an unnatural chill running up his spine. Then all that was simply thrown to the side when Earl heard one of them few people he absolutely can't stand.

"Long time no see and all that crap gringo!" said Israel, "you didn't take my offer last time we met. Maybe it's because you don't understand the weight of the situation. Now, you can either fight the Hypnosis with your mind shielding which works less effectively when your very soul is being possessed by a ghost, or you can listen. It's all up to you. Just know, if you don't listen you're in a world of hurt!"

Israel... Of course he would have one of his Pokemon do this to Earl. Although Earl couldn't see him, he could hear the boy clearly. Nonetheless, this guy wanted to talk... Was it about Yasumi?

"You have my attention Cracker. Just get your Ghost-type out of me so we can talk man-to-man first. Trust me, this kind of mental torture is something I can stand for longer than you think."

"Ssseviper!" shouted Izanami, now knowing the full situation as she hissed angrily at Israel, slithering off of Earl's body. She was stopped in her tracks however, as Earl let out a deep hiss himself.

"Izanami, there's no need. Now, Israel, please do as I asked. I'll listen, and I promise I won't punch your jaw the instant I see you. You have my word as a southern gentleman."

Israel snapped his fingers and an illusionary bolt of lightning struck about five feet in front of Earl. The smoke cleared and Israel became visible on the spot where the lightning struck. Still, the darkness and the fog remained. "Well, there is a brain in that thick head of yours. I mean it's probably severely impaired from generations of inbreeding but it exists, hallelujah. And if you define this as mental torture you most likely are in possession of a bodily vagina. Y'know, in place of your sticks and stones. This illusion isn't meant for torture, it's meant to educate. BEHOLD!" said Israel before pointing out into the dark void.

An image appeared of a five year old Asian girl playing with a Magikarp by a lake. "This is Yasumi Tanaka. She is many things, innocent, brave, kind, and loving. and most of all, your friend," said Israel. The picture then changes to Yasumi sending an E-mail through her computer. It reads, "hello Earl!" Then the picture changes to the Hunchback of Notre Dame sending an E-mail back. It reads, "my mother and father are brother and sister." Israel then shrugged looking at Earl, "hey man, its my illusion. I don't know what you looked like at that age. I'm just working with what I've got."

Israel then turned back to the picture in the sky, "then one day the innocence that she came to be known for in her youth was taken from her by a man named Mordecai." Picture shows Yasumi's house burning and Mordecai standing there as Yasumi's face turned into an ice cold stare. Tears were coming from her eyes. "Then, Mordecai's sworn enemy came to her with an offer of revenge, and she took it," said Israel as the picture showed the Gentleman in his old man disguise pick her up and hold her close. Then the picture showed her growing up and training in pokemon and martial arts. "Over time, she trained and fought and grew up to be the smoking hot ninja beast you see today. But she was on the wrong side," continued Israel as the screen then showed her meeting Israel.

"And then... I came along. I'm not going to say that I'm the best thing that happened to her, because she was also the best thing that happened to me. We were both lost angry loners who needed someone to relate to," shows Israel and Yasumi locking lips, "and we found each other. With my help she broke herself free from the chains of the Human Alliance, and with her help I became a little more normal. It seemed like for the first time, life had meaning other than myself and my goals. It seemed nothing could break us apart, and then..." Picture shows Yasumi on the hospital bed in agony.

"Thanks to that Nazi Otto Von Kreuger, my Yasumi, YOUR Yasumi, has fallen ill. Thanks to John I was able to delay her death. I bought her time, but she's still DYING Earl," said Israel before lowering his head; "and do you know what happens leading up to her death?" Israel looks into Earl's eyes with a dead serious stare, "of course you don't because you were in the arms of Morpheus when this happened!" Israel turns to the picture. The picture turned to a dying six. His skin was white as snow and his eyes were sunken deep into his head. He left Israel this last message before he kicked the bucket, "Later John Macfarline. You'll be seeing John here again, really soon! The two of you are connected deeper than you know. Gah, but I'm willing to bet that you'll never see me again. Take a good look at me Macfarline Jr. This is what will happen to the woman you care so much about if you don't find a cure. Now, I'll leave you to think."

"Do you want THAT to happen to the woman you claim to love!?" asked Israel with intensity exploding from his voice, "then pull your head out of your arse and help me! I have and idea on how to cure her but I might not be able to do it alone!" Israel then paused. One could feel the sadness coming from his very soul, "help me... for her sake." The illusion faded away and they stood in the natural environment. Gengar materialized beside Israel. Alakazam stood on his right and Gengar stood on his left. Being Psychic and Ghost types they were more sensitive to emotion than other Pokemon types. They seemed to grieve as well.

Jake

Jake smiled and nodded as he reached for Foxy's ball. Then he paused. Why use Foxy? The Psychic type needed to bond, not battle. He switched and grabbed Flare's ball. He tossed it, revealing the Monferno, who shrieked a battle cry an d began to beat on his chest.

"Ok Flare... We're going to take this nice and slow and... NO!" Jake said, shouting loudly as the Monferno charged at Aura, aiming to smack him upside the head.

Riley

"Hm... Interesting..." the blue haired man said, drinking his coffee. So, Celebi was a real pokemon? It had been sighted in the vicinity of Charlotte, North Carolina on more than one occasion over the years. Granted, pokemon had only been around for a little while when you look at the history of man, and Celebi has been popping up throughout time, but what did he expect from the Time Traveler pokemon? He reached down absently to scratch at Glace's head, then paused at a picture in the file. He leaned in close and stared at it for several minutes. He sighed and stood up, placing the picture in his pocket.

"Common Glace, we're going to Lake Lure." he said. The Glaceon yawned and stood up, walking behind him toward the door.
 
(ooc: thank you!)

Hazel Lockhart

Hazel smiled cheerfully at the lady from the PokeCentre as she handed back the 3 Pokeballs that contained her companions; they were all fully healed for their journey to Lake Lure, which could be a long one seeing as she is atrocious with maps and finding her way around. Looking on the bright side, the auburn haired girl has grown quite fond of her Pokemon, bonding especially with Autumn; although she has always had a soft spot for these three it seems over the past couple of weeks they've really grown closer.

Smiling at her thought, Hazel walked out of the PokeCentre and looked down at Autumn, who was gazing up adoringly toward the girl. "Aren't you just adorable!" She giggled, crouching down and petting the furry fellow. "Well, we better be on our way, It'll be dark soon and we need to find somewhere to stay over night." Hazel said in a more serious tone, standing upright again and looking around. Which direction was it again? "Ah yes!" She said, lifting her finger up in realisation. "This way, come on poppet." Hazel chirped, patting her thigh for Autumn to follow. It wouldn't take that long to reach Lake Lure, would it? It would probably pass quite fast if it was a long journey.. the amount of trainers and Pokemon that would be hidden away would amuse her for the most part, plus it's always nice to gain a few extra levels!

Humming happily to herself, the slim girl strode onward as the sun shone down on the both of them, there wasn't a cloud in the sky and it was certainly the brightest day she'd come across so far! "If you get tired just let me know and I'll carry you the rest of the way, okay dear?" Hazel spoke softly as she averted her gaze to Autumn, who was bobbing happily beside her; nodding her head in agreement. It would be a good couple of hours before they were anywhere near Lake Lure, probably longer knowing Hazel; so it was good idea to come prepared. Water bottles, sun cream, a hat. She had everything in her little bag for what would be needed on her tiresome journey, and even a couple of snacks for her Poke friends in case they got hungry.​
 

Silver Asakura


Jake takes out Flare to battle Aura. Bad idea. Silver knew it was an extremely bad idea. Before Jake could give a command, Flare had already charged at Aura out of discontent. That Monferno's out of whack. Aura landed a palm on his head as he launched himself upwards from him. From above he started forming aura between his palms, launching an Aura Sphere at Flare. He wasn't losing this battle, not now. He was going to teach Flare a lesson.

"Uh, good job Aura. Force Palm." Silver said, weirded out. This could get out of hand. Aura spun in the air, landed & charged at Flare with his paw in front as he stored power.

"Jake. You might wanna get a hold of your Monferno." Silver warned. No way he wanted this battle to get out of hand. Just in case, he better return Aura back to his Pokeball if neccesary.
 
Jake

Jake sighed. "Flare!" he said loudly. Flare turned back to look at him and paused, seeing his expression. He yelped as he got decked by Aura's attack and bounced back to his feet, gesturing angrily at the riolu.

"Flare, I'm the one that beat you, so I'm in charge! Use Mach Punch!" Jake said, and to his surprise, Flare did as asked. He dashed forward and swung his fist right at Aura, moving in a rather speedy blur. Seems like the Monferno is at least willing to listen to Jake now.

John

John smiled as Cinder paused, growling. Shadow grinned at him and wagged her tail as the Charmeleon began to glow. Soon, he had evolved back into a Charizard and let out a powerful roar.

"Now we're back in business! Cinder@ Hit her with Flare Blitz! Shadow, Night Daze!" John said happily.
 
(Ooc: Note that Aura first used Aura Sphere, then used Force Palm. Just letting you know.)

Silver Asakura


Looks like Flare was quite pi**ed off at Aura. Good, that's exactly what he wanted. Aura wanted him mad, so he could return that anger. No one messes with Sweety without getting through him.

Silver could see how angry Flare was. When did Jake catch him exactly? Obviously recently if Flare is acting like that. The next move came too soon, as Jake commanded Flare to smack with Mach Punch. Silver didn't have time to react a command of Endure as Flare hit Aura by the said. He managed to regain his balance looking mad at Flare. Oh he was gonna get it now.

"Aura! Give him another Aura Sphere!" Silver shouted. Aura moved his paws together & shot an Aura Sphere at Flare. "Were you sure battling with Flare was a good idea?" Silver asked Jake from the other side. Point is, Aura looked like he wanted to teach Flare a lesson. He didn't get it, but he knew it wouldn't be pretty. Dear Arceus, let this battle be over soon.
 
Sapphire Hikaru

"he's pretty late isn't he?" Yuki comes out her pokeball and uses telepathy to talk, even though Sapphire would understand her anyway. 'no i'm just early.' sapphire smiles at her little pokemon. "hehe! i'm gonna pretend that i'm a human boy!" Yuki shouts cheerfully. '(...but you're a girl...)' Kaede left his pokeball too. "whatever!" Zorua slowly transforms into a handsome human boy. '(why would you do that Yuki?)' Hikari asks her with a painful smile. "for fun!" Yuki runs around Lake Lure and looks around for people to mess with. '(Sapph? is that okay with you? all trainers probely will come up at you...)' kaede asks her. 'meh it's okay, there are not many people here so she'll be back in a few minute.' Sapphire replies on Kaede.
 
Hazel Lockhart


A few hours, battles and levels later, Hazel and her Pokémon had finally reached Lake Lure. With Autumn by her side, they both stared in wonder at the gorgeous lake of azure as it glistened in the sunlight, not even the wind disturbed it - it was as still as a mouse. Simply breath taking. Bringing her gaze back down to face her friend, Hazel shot a heart warming smile and let out the rest of her Pokémon. "Are you guys ready to eat? I know I'm starving!" She spoke, rubbing her tummy and waiting for the nods of their heads. "Bulba! Bulbasaur!" Anther nodded, grinning; his cry was matched by Autumn and Skittle, both of them jumping up and down with joy as they heard the word 'food'.

Hazel giggled to herself and placed the last Pokéball in her bag. "What are we waiting for then?!" The auburn headed girl quickly searched for some kind of food shop, or café that they could use to buy some food; of course it didn't take long for her to spot the sign. "Look guys, Lake Lure Inn and Spa!" She gasped, her mouth hanging open in surprise. "Come on, I'll race ya!" The girl shouted, already sprinting off toward the Inn with her Pokémon not far behind her; a nice relaxing spa is just what they could use right now after those long hours of walking and battling.​

Jake

"Eh... Not anymore I'm not." Jake said as the Monferno was smacked with the Aura Sphere. He hit the ground and flipped back up, putting his hands behind him and forming a ball of yellow energy. Focus Blast, the attack that had knocked Sweety off of the cliff.

"Monferno!" he bellowed, hurling the ball at Aura. Jake could already tell that his pokemon was tiring, which was good. Flare must not have much stamina, and Jake hadn't even told him to use Focus Blast. He had been about to order Poison Jab. He didn't know why Aura was so mad, but it probably had something to do with Sweety. Slowly, he reached over to his belt to grab Flare's pokeball, and Pearl returned with a twenty dollar bill and a map in her mouth and a smug look on her face.

John

John smirked and called back his pokemon, except for Shadow, who was grinning. He looked around Lake Lure, looking at the people nearby. He sighed and picked up Shadow.

"Well, time to go to the gym then." he said after a moment. Shadow giggled and nodded.

Seven

"Great, another one!" Eight said in her mind. The young red haired girl looked up and followed her eevee's gaze. All she saw was a young boy.

"What?" she asked after a moment, dropping the stick she had been drawwing in the sand with. Eight sighed and sat down.

"It's another one like Shadow." he said as he scratched his ear. Seven smiled and picked him up.

"A Zorua? Aren't they really rare?" she said aloud, and Eight shrugged. He had been raised in a lab the same as her, so he had no idea! Seven smiled and sat back down, going back to drawwing in the sand.
 

Silver Asakura


"Eh... Not anymore I'm not." Ok. Now Jake regretted it. One should always think twice before acting. Though from Wolf's advice from Starfox: Assualt, don't hesitate, just act. Sending out Flare from the start was definitely a bad idea. Aura wanted revenge on him for Arceus know's what. Getting off subject here. Returning to the battle!

Flare had started using one of his moves...but Jake didn't even give a command! This Monferno needs to be trained! Why did Jake capture him in the first place? Silver's focus almost left him when he saw what move Flare was using. "Quick, Aura! Endure!" & just in time too, as Focus Blast reached Aura standing his guard before impact. He was pushed back a bit, & he already looked tired. This was anybody's game.

"Foresight!" Silver gave his next command. Aura looked at Flare & locked his sights at him. Dodging was inevitable. "Give him a Force Palm!" Silver's minor intention was to attempt to paralyze Flare, at least to slow him down. If Force Palm hit, which it will due to Foresight, there was some chance Flare would slow down. Aura breathed a bit from being tired, looked to the sky, & growled loudly as he could. He will avenge Sweety for her pain! He began running towards Flare, clenching his teeth hard as he pushed forward with Force Palm at Flare.
 
Jake

Flare growled angrily as Aurs charged him. "Flare, use Mach Punch!" Jake called, but the Monferno had other plans. His fist began to glow with a purple power as he used Poison Jab, and he dashed at the riolu.

"Monferno! Mon... Mon?" Flare gasped as the quicker riolu slammed his fist into the monkey's stomach. He had a confused look on his face as he crumpled to the ground. Jake knew that Aura was the faster of the two, that's why he had ordered Mach Punch, to mae sure that Flare stuck first, but the monkey had not listened.

"Well... Looks like that's that. Good battle Silver. Return Flare... I need to work with him some more." Jake said slowly as he returned the Monferno. He sighed and shok his head. Maybe he wasn't cut out to be a trainer after all. "Well... If you're ready, then we should be going." he said with a smile, not showing any emotion other than his usual cool, calm demeaner.

John

John looked at the gym with cool eyes, and Cinder snorted. "I know Cinder, it's a dump." the red haired teeneager said. A girl with green hair and a flower in her hair shot him a dirty look. But he was right, the building was a dump, with weeds growning in the yard, and vines creeping up the side of the walls. She walked over to him and stood next to him.

"Have you thought maybe it's like that on purpose?" she said thoughtfully. John shrugged.

"Like I care. I'm just here to battle." John said as he walked forward to the gym

"You can't go in there, that building is condemned." the girl said suddenly, and John turned around and smirked at her.

"Like I care. I'm going to battle the gym leader one way or another!" he said. He felt vines and weeds tangling around his legs, and the girl chuckled.

"Oh... You will... But that isn't the gym at all... You're standing in the gym?" she said as a Vehusaur walked to her side. "You see... Ever since the accident two years ago, the Gym has been an open air battle. I... Am Verdia, the gym ;leader. It's a pleasure to meet the "rising star" trainer. I've been looking forward to battling you for some time."

"Gah! Let me go you freak!" ohn said angrily, and Verdia chuckled.

"I think not... Not unless you can defeat me. Sauria, let's take him out." she said, and the Venusaur stomped into the field. Cinder roared and glared at the other pokemon, and John smirked. He was not going to lose to this freak!
 
Israel snapped his fingers and an illusionary bolt of lightning struck about five feet in front of Earl. The smoke cleared and Israel became visible on the spot where the lightning struck. Still, the darkness and the fog remained. "Well, there is a brain in that thick head of yours. I mean it's probably severely impaired from generations of inbreeding but it exists, hallelujah. And if you define this as mental torture you most likely are in possession of a bodily vagina. Y'know, in place of your sticks and stones. This illusion isn't meant for torture, it's meant to educate. BEHOLD!" said Israel before pointing out into the dark void.

An image appeared of a five year old Asian girl playing with a Magikarp by a lake. "This is Yasumi Tanaka. She is many things, innocent, brave, kind, and loving. and most of all, your friend," said Israel. The picture then changes to Yasumi sending an E-mail through her computer. It reads, "hello Earl!" Then the picture changes to the Hunchback of Notre Dame sending an E-mail back. It reads, "my mother and father are brother and sister." Israel then shrugged looking at Earl, "hey man, its my illusion. I don't know what you looked like at that age. I'm just working with what I've got."

Israel then turned back to the picture in the sky, "then one day the innocence that she came to be known for in her youth was taken from her by a man named Mordecai." Picture shows Yasumi's house burning and Mordecai standing there as Yasumi's face turned into an ice cold stare. Tears were coming from her eyes. "Then, Mordecai's sworn enemy came to her with an offer of revenge, and she took it," said Israel as the picture showed the Gentleman in his old man disguise pick her up and hold her close. Then the picture showed her growing up and training in pokemon and martial arts. "Over time, she trained and fought and grew up to be the smoking hot ninja beast you see today. But she was on the wrong side," continued Israel as the screen then showed her meeting Israel.

"And then... I came along. I'm not going to say that I'm the best thing that happened to her, because she was also the best thing that happened to me. We were both lost angry loners who needed someone to relate to," shows Israel and Yasumi locking lips, "and we found each other. With my help she broke herself free from the chains of the Human Alliance, and with her help I became a little more normal. It seemed like for the first time, life had meaning other than myself and my goals. It seemed nothing could break us apart, and then..." Picture shows Yasumi on the hospital bed in agony.

"Thanks to that Nazi Otto Von Kreuger, my Yasumi, YOUR Yasumi, has fallen ill. Thanks to John I was able to delay her death. I bought her time, but she's still DYING Earl," said Israel before lowering his head; "and do you know what happens leading up to her death?" Israel looks into Earl's eyes with a dead serious stare, "of course you don't because you were in the arms of Morpheus when this happened!" Israel turns to the picture. The picture turned to a dying six. His skin was white as snow and his eyes were sunken deep into his head. He left Israel this last message before he kicked the bucket, "Later John Macfarline. You'll be seeing John here again, really soon! The two of you are connected deeper than you know. Gah, but I'm willing to bet that you'll never see me again. Take a good look at me Macfarline Jr. This is what will happen to the woman you care so much about if you don't find a cure. Now, I'll leave you to think."

"Do you want THAT to happen to the woman you claim to love!?" asked Israel with intensity exploding from his voice, "then pull your head out of your arse and help me! I have and idea on how to cure her but I might not be able to do it alone!" Israel then paused. One could feel the sadness coming from his very soul, "help me... for her sake." The illusion faded away and they stood in the natural environment. Gengar materialized beside Israel. Alakazam stood on his right and Gengar stood on his left. Being Psychic and Ghost types they were more sensitive to emotion than other Pokemon types. They seemed to grieve as well.

Earl watched the illusion, his face remaining somewhat. At the parts where Israel mocked him, Earl wanted to tear him a new one. At the parts involving Yasumi, one could see a few tears run down his face, but his face remained the same. When the illusion ended and sadness could be heard in Israel's voice, Earl sighed loudly and clicked his tongue. Izanami just slithered up Earl's body and coiled around him as Earl walked up to Israel and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I apologize for the way I acted earlier in that frozen wasteland. Lots of things were going on, and it messed with my head..."

There was a pause as Izanami looked at Israel and then at Earl, who was seeming to have some trouble.

"I'll help you find this cure for Yasumi, but on one condition. You stop insulting my heritage. Yes, I'm from the south. Just because I'm from there doesn't mean I'm an inbred redneck as you think."

Earl then turned to the woman standing not that far from him and Israel, his right eyebrow going up questioningly. He had never seen her before. She was attractive, but Earl was wondering what she was doing hanging with Israel.

"Who's the chick?"
