What if they were real? rated 16+ (just in case any adult themes come up)

Silver was relieved that Absol was put back in his Heal Ball. He did NOT want to ride it again! "Alright! Let's get a move on!" He cheered, walking outside the PokeCenter ready for another adventure.

Sky walked over to Kitten when he saw berries getting eaten. "Vee eevee?" He asked Kitten for 1 berry. Since the end of trip to the tower, he's been craving a Cheri Berry for the spicyness & Sky knew Kitten was sweet enough to give him a berry.
 
"So Wauchula Florida (OOC: I've been spelling it wrong) that's one heck of a town" said Israel starting conversation. "Yes, the hometown of the Safari Zone where trainers can catch rare Pokemon found in exotic places" said Yasumi, "It's one of the more famous places in the US." "Yeah and you know it didn't used to be that way" said Israel, "before the 1980's Wauchula was the crap pit of Florida with a population well under five thousand people, they had nothing there but Orange groves." "The founder of the Safari Zone only even picked that location because there was nothing but unused space as opposed to say Orlando which was already a big tourist attraction" explained Israel further. "Well they needed it" said Yasumi, "the Safari Zone is vast with multiple types of environments for housing multiple types of Pokemon." "Well I can't wait to go there" said Israel, "I especially wan't to capture some Pokemon from the Tropical Rainforest part of the park, I've always wanted a Trophius, and Keclion has pretty good move pool." Yasumi smiled, "well Israel it's time to go to sleep, we'll land in Wauchula tomorrow, but until then good night." "Good night" said Israel, he was looking forward to waking up to her beautiful face in the morning.
 
(OOC: Welcome back Cookie!)

"Hehehe! Thanks!" Shadow said when Leonidas put his har on her. Of course, it was way too big and fell over her face. She turned into a Croconaw and straightened the hat on her head. she giggled again.

John cooly stepped aside and returned a punch of his own.
"Hah! You think you know everything. Is this how you're going to protect Yasumi? Because as a trainer you certainly aren't up to the task! Maybe she's better off with Israel. At least he knows how to throw a punch!" John mocked as he kicked at Earl. John smiled grimly. This was not going to end well, but he needed to get his aggression out somehow. The two of them continued fighting, and Cinder took off from where he was resting on a building nearby.

(OOC: You can go ahead and have Earl deck John. I've got a plan for this.)

((You do realize I'm gonna take full advantage of that. Thanks for permission!))

Upon hearing what John had said, Earl reared his left fist back and threw it forward as hard as he could, slamming it on John's right cheek. Leonidas straightened himself up at this, worried about John now. That looked like it hurt a lot. Mary the Gible had even stopped in her tracks. Brutus, not having anyone holding him back now, ran to Earl and took him to the ground.

"BRUTUS! GET OFF!" shouted Earl as he squirmed under the sumo Pokemon. Brutus just stayed there, not even moving or flinching. He wanted Earl to snap out of it. He hated seeing Earl liked this. Just then though, a tear came fro Brutus' eye, and when seeing ths, Earl stopped squirming completely...staring at the tear as John's words came to his mind.

"Okay. I'm ready."

(OOC: You just wrecked my plan. I was going to have Cinder drop out of the sky and grab Earl, and then John would go into how he lost track of his surroundings when he flew into a rage. But, you just saved me the trouble. :P)

John stared into Earl's eyes as he raised his fist, and punched him in the face. John was sent sprawling to the ground. He lay there, dazed and confused a moment as a large yellow shape ran by. He heard Earl shouting, but he waited until his eyes would focus again before getting to his feet. He slowly stood up and popped his jaw back into place. Cinder landed next to him and roared angrily at Earl. The big dragon looked about ready to go off, and John patted him and he cooled off.
"Feeling better? Sometimes the fastest way to calm down is to hit stuff. Now, remember how it felt when you snapped. If I can push you so easily to that point, imagine what someone that knows you well enogh to do that can do. Try breathing deeply. In the heat of battle, it will be very hard to calm yourself, but if not, then you've seen the end result. Israel should be glad that the only thing at stake was his pride. Now, before I start to gwet all preachy, I'm going to shut up. Try to control yourself, and you'll be better able to handle your pokemon," John said. He reached out a hand to help Earl to his feet.
 
As Earl got up to his feet, Brutus stayed by his side as all of Earl's other Pokemon came to him. Leonidas softly patted Earl's knee. He then reached down, grabbed Earl's hat, and handed it to Earl. Earl, upon seeing this, dusted the hat off and put it on. He suddenly felt bad for what had happened. Usually, he was much calmer than that, but his anger had taken over... And it had hurt his friend.

"I'm sorry John, but I see your point now. I'm usually much more calmer than that, but when Yasumi told me she loved Israel, after what I had done to get her out of the Human Alliance base, I just lost it."

Brutus was now smiling, along with all of Earl's Pokemon. Just then though, something fell from a nearby tree... A Pokemon not really known for being in Texas.

"Isn't that a... Ferroseed?"

((Sorry about that, but I felt that Earl needed to become calm when one of his Pokemon, out of sheer worry, stopped him. Makes great character development.))

"No, it's a f***ing Seedot! What the **** do you think!?" John said irritatedly. He understood quite well the dangers of love. It could get you hurt. They could use your love against you, and trap you. That far outweighed the benifits you got from it. But John wasn't about to say that to someone already in love. They wouldn't get his point, or worse, they'd think he was attacking them and their love. He walked away so that Earl could catch this pokemon.
"Let me know when you catch it! I'll be over here," John said as he walked away. Shadow came over to join him and he picked her up.
 
The Ferroseed was just staring at Earl and the group, not really doing anything. Just stood there...staring. Kind of creepy really, and Earl didn't need creepy at the moment. Just then though, Mary, his freshly caught Gible, stood in front of Earl and pointed at the Ferroseed, ready to battle.

"Atta girl! Use Dragon Rage!" shouted Earl as Mary reared back, opening her mouth as she did so. As she did this, a sphere of fire erupted from it and struck the Ferroseed, sending it back a bit. When it stopped, it just kept staring at Earl and his Pokemon.

"Hmm... How about a Take Down?" asked Earl, more as a command really as Mary charged the Ferroseed, tackling it with all her might, causing herself to be damaged as well. The Ferroseed didn't move after that, which Earl took as his cue. He threw a spare Pokeball, enveloping the Ferroseed in red light as it went in the ball. One... Two... Three... Four...

Click!

Happy with his catch and the thought that Mary was now a full-fledged team member Earl grabbed the Pokeball and smiled. Next time he went to a Pokemon Center, he would check the Ferroseed's gender and what level she was.

"Okay Honky," said Earl, his group still following him. Earl was smiling again. "I think it's time to do it to it."
 
(Thanks Nideous)

Kitten smiled as she reeched into her bag, pulling out a ripe cheri berry, guessingit's what Sky wanted.

"You hungry boy?" She asked picking up the Eevee as Doom sarted to follow after Silver, Kitten holding the berry to Sky. "Here you go~" She couldn't help but grin as she felt Doom bound after her friend.

Kitten's attention turned to Silver as she watched him go on ahead, not worrying about being left behidn since she was on Doom's back.

"Hey Silver, what's the town we're heading to next?" The raven haired girl asked as she held the Eevee, Sky, close.
 
"Quiet you! I'm busy," John said. He and Shadow were looking around. That pokemon that had just blasted some rocks at him, John wanted it. He motioned for Earl to step back and called out Leaf. The big Rhyhorn came charging up the hill. John smiled.
"Leaf, use Leaf Storm now!" John said. Leaf spun the leaf on top of his head and a giant tornado of leaves went flying at the thing. The Ryhorn was hit, and he got mad. He charged at Leaf with Take Down. Leaf jumped out of the way and he kept running, aiming at the next pokemon here, Shadow. She yelped and leapt out of his way.
"Not me! I haven't done anything!" she said urgently.
"Horn! Rhyhorn!" he yelled back.
"Chiko!" Leaf shouted.
"Don't use that language with me!" Shadow said angrily. John smiled. This guy was full of attitude, the perfect pokemon for him!
"Leaf, use Magical Leaf! Shadow, since he clearly wants to fight you too, go ahead and use Extrasensory!" John said. Leaf spun the leaf on his head and blasted a lot of glowing golden leaves at the Rhyhorn, sho simply braced for impact and took it like a pro. He then smashed his feet on the ground causing an Earthquake to hit Shadow and Leaf.
"That hurt!" Shadow shouted as her eyes started to glow, and the Rhyhorn was blasted back. He got up again and started shouting rocks at them. John knew that move. It was Rock Blast! That was a powerful move! Shadow and Leaf got out of the way. This thing was way tough! He would make a perfect wall for John.
"Leaf Storm again! And Shadow, use Shadow Ball!" John said. Leaf leapt up and blasted a powerful cyclone of leaves at Rhyhorn, which hit just after the Shadow Ball had lowered Rhyhorn's defenses to the move. And Rhyhorn was still up. He was hurt bad, but he was not going down easily. That was fine with John, who hurled an Ultraball at him. The thing hit him and he was sucked inside. The ball wobbled even more furiously than any of the other ones John had thrown, but it clicked and then vanished. John checked his storage on his Pokegear. The Rhyhorn was his.
"I think I'll call you Buster," John said with a smile. He returned Leaf and turned around.
"Very well. Earl, are you and your pokemon ready? I don't want to hear any complaints that my training is too tough. You're the one that asked for this!" John said. He then launched into the training, even getting his pokemon into it. His methods were harsh, but Earl's pokemon seemed to be able to handle it.

(OOC: We're gonna need a montage!)
 
Sky really enjoyed the Cheri Berry Kitten gave him. You could see the taste on his tongue if he showed you.

Silver checked his map to see where they were headed. "According to the map, after we go through the mountains we should arrive at Atlanta, Georgia. I hear the gym leader uses rock type." Silver thought of the Pokemon he had, but they weren't strong enough against rock. "I need a strong Pokemon..."
 
It was noon the next day, and Israel and Yasumi were entering the Safari Zone, but first they had to hear the rules from the Game Warden. "Alright may I have your attention, I am the Safari Zone's Game Warden, and there are a few things that i'd like to go over with you before you start" said the Warden. Israel just wanted this crap out of the way so he could start, but Yasumi was patient. "First each of you will get 30 Safari Balls, and your game will end when you run out of these balls, second the Pokemon here are very dangerous so you will be allowed to use one Pokemon for defense and for capture. However if your Pokemon faints your game is over and you'll use the Smoke Ball item to escape the Pokemon" explained the Game Warden. Israel had already picked the Pokemon that he wanted to use, he chose Alakazam because it could recover health and Israel could stay in there for a very long time. Yasumi had chosen at random which Pokemon she wanted to use, it didn't matter all of them were strong. "Lastly, our camera's will be watching you so we will send help if you are in trouble, and now without further adieu let your Safari game begin" said the Warden, Israel was ready.
 
"Oooooooooooh! Sounds exciting!" Kitten grinned as she thought. "Though we both should be able to find some interesting pokemon to train with." She happily mused. "I bet Saber would like to get out and have a look round out of this town.. Seems as though he's never left this place, ya know?"

The pale girl pet Doom inbetween his horns looking ahead of them, not really focusing on anything properly. The Houndoom beneath her let out a soft snort as he began to pad on his tail flicking about with an impatient thwak to the ground.

"doom.." He snorted bounding around Silver pushing the back of the boys legs softly before running infront.
 
(OOC: I'm kind of tired of waiting, so I'll do some awesome stuff.)

John took a step back. Earl had grasped the training very quickly. That was good. That meant he didn't need John for a little while.
"Earl. I'm going to let you train on your own. When you can take out two of my pokemon with your whole team, then we'll move on to something harder," John said. He was going to battle Earl whenever he felt he was ready. John couldn't teach him that. He had to learn to trust his own judgement.
"Tell Shadow when you're ready, and she'll tell me," John said. He walked back to town. He was looking for trouble. Anything. He was bored.
"Hey! I want to battle you!" he heard. He smiled and turned around. A boy was walking toward him.
"Why should I battle you?" John asked.
"I saw you on TV! I'm gonna teach you some manners!" the boy said. John smiled and pulled out one of his pokeballs. The boy sent out a Fearow. John sent out Sparky. She needed some more experience. He put his hand on the Thunderstone in his pocket. Maybe he should evolve her soon. Teach her some fighting moves or something. She needed some diversity in what she could do.

(OOC: Next post will be the battle.)
 
Israel and Yasumi entered the forests beyond the entrance which led to the Safari Zone and walked down the set path deeper into the Zone until they hit a crossroads, on the crossroads were multiple paths, each with a sign with directions that had arrows labled "Caves" "Savanna" "Rain forest" "Wastleland" "Desert" and other places. Israel turned to Yasumi, "so where do we go first?" asked Israel. "We split up" said Yasumi, "I want a certain Pokemon that lives in the Tropics, you go wherever you desire." Israel agreed to this, "I guess I'll start out simple, I'll go to the grassland, oh and Yasumi?" Yasumi turned around and Israel kissed her, "catch some strong ones" he said. Israel then set off to the grassland, there was a Pokemon he wanted there.
 
John took a step back. Earl had grasped the training very quickly. That was good. That meant he didn't need John for a little while.
"Earl. I'm going to let you train on your own. When you can take out two of my pokemon with your whole team, then we'll move on to something harder," John said. He was going to battle Earl whenever he felt he was ready. John couldn't teach him that. He had to learn to trust his own judgement.

"Why should I battle you?" John asked.
"I saw you on TV! I'm gonna teach you some manners!" the boy said. John smiled and pulled out one of his pokeballs. The boy sent out a Fearow. John sent out Sparky. She needed some more experience. He put his hand on the Thunderstone in his pocket. Maybe he should evolve her soon. Teach her some fighting moves or something. She needed some diversity in what she could do.

The training was tough, but Earl had indeed caught on quickly. You wanted your Pokemon to be able to listen, but you also wanted them to be able to think for themselves. Earl agreed with this, and while John was teaching him, Earl already incorporated his team with it. It didn't take long for him to see what they could do with it, including his new Ferroseed, whom he had named Hera.

The next part, however, would be harder. John wanted Earl to be able to KO two of John's Pokemon, all of which were considerably stronger than Earl's. It would take a while, but Earl decided to figure out how his Pokemon ticked...

Leonidas was coming along nicely from his training. His physical moves seemed to be gaining significant power, and his Water Gun seemed to be following suit. His speed was also decent. It wasn't amazing by any stretch of the means, but it was decent. He also seemed to be good on the defensive end. Not as good as Hera, Judas, or Brutus though. However, despite evolving, his strength is now even with Brutus.

Judas was a heck of a defender AND an attacker, but it seems he leans more towards the defensive side of things. His Curse move gave him a severe handicap though... That would have to chage soon. His speed was EXTREMELY lackluster. Earl would need to work on that.

Brutus was exactly like Judas in that he was a great attacker and defender, but instead of defense, he was more offensive. He was also seeming to be more and more adamant about training to become stronger... Maybe Leonidas evolving lit a fire under his ass. His speed was also an issue, but Fake Out seemed to help correct the issue.

Joan is, without a doubt, the fastest of Earl's team. With her new techniques, she seems to be catching up well, but Earl has noticed her Quick Attack seems to be...weak. Maybe special moves are her thing? She is also the most frail member of Earl's team. For some reason, Earl has a feeling that won't be changing.

Mary is just...wow. That's all Earl can say. Despite being the second weakest defensively, her power EXCEEDS Brutus and Leonidas. She also seems to be packing quite a bit of speed. She also seems to know how to use special attacks well, but it is evident her Take Down technique is her strongest move.

Hera... Hera Hera Hera. Hera, as Earl has seen, is SSSSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW! Seriously, she makes Judas seem like Speedy Gonzales. However, she surpasses Judas and Brutus in the defensive end so bad that it seems that none of their moves could make a dent in her. While she is great in taking physical hits, she seems to be able to take special hits betters... Yeah, she's going to be a heck of a tank, especially with the fact that she can hit back, hard... Maybe Earl should teach her some moves that would REALLY help her... Including one that would take advantage of her lack of speed...

"All right team," began Earl, clearing his throat as his team surrounded him. Hera was still unsure about the group, but she seemed to be liking what they were doing so far. "We're gonna be going off in pairs to train. Mary, Brutus, you're a pair," said Earl as Mary and Brutus went to the side. Mary smirked at Brutus, who held up his right fist, taunting her.

"Judas, Joan, pair up."

Judas floated over to his spot as Joan quickly flew that way in a flash. Seems that her Speed Boost ability has been helping her out. Yeah, Judas was gonna have his hands full... Oh yeah, Judas knew Faint Attack. Scratch that, Joan was gonna have her hands full.

"Leonidas and Hera will make up the last pair. Good luck to you all and begin!"

As Leonidas and Hera paired up and immediately went after each other, all of Earl's other Pokemon did the same. Deciding to think about something, Earl opened his suitcase, taking out a notebook and pen as he jot down notes on the battles happening around him, thinking about the Man in Black...

... ((When you see three dots getting their own little paragraph, it means I'm switching perspectives from Earl to MiB (Man in Black).))

Things were going along smoothly for the Man in Black, or MiB as everyone called him. As his hazel eyes scouted through the men and women he had recruited to his cause, he secretly smiled to himself. Sure, no one else could see him smile, but what did that matter? He was the leader, and he was gonna lead his team to victory over the Human Alliance and Team Plazma.

"Almost too easy to have them switch sides, wouldn't you say my friend?" asked MiB as a black being appeared beside him. The figure was mostly black, appearing to be a ghost, and before you got to its head, you would see a blood-red spiky collar of sorts. The face was mostly black too, except the eye of this beast. The eye was bright blue, and it seemed to be the only thing that looked lively... Aside from the creepy fog-like white hair of sorts. Stuff moved like it was alive...

"Dark," said the Darkrai as it nodded to its partner, seeming to be happy. His partner had been planning seperating from the Human Alliance for a while, and it was now happening. Without the Human Alliance holding them down, they could finally go forward with their plans... But there was something to do first.

"Darkrai, return," said the Man in Black as Darkrai went in its Dusk Ball. As his team began dressing in their new black, white, red, and silver uniforms, the mysterious individual left the gigantic room, heading for the doors nearby. Upon opening the doors was a tall staircase, which led to an office of sorts. When MiB reached the door, he knocked, waiting on some kind of confirmation.

"Come in MiB."

With that, MiB walked into the office, his hazel eyes staring at the figure before him...

The Gentleman himself...

"I'm leaving," said MiB, his voice taking on a sound of seriousness that sounded as if there was no emotion. "And I'm taking some of your team with me. We're done with you and your views Gentleman."

"I know MiB. Alakazam told me you would leave me," said Gentleman as said Alakazam appeared beside him. As soon as Alakazam did appear, MiB noticed Mewtwo not too far as well.

"I figured he would," said MiB, tossing a Dusk Ball out, which opened to reveal Darkrai. The tension was in the air, and MiB wanted to be sure he and his team would get out of here alive. However, the Gentleman simply raised his hand.

"No worries. I wish not for a battle. You may go as soon as I have said what I have to say, and so may your team, including the former members of the Human Alliance and Team Plazma."

Curious as to this new development, MiB relaxed slightly, still making sure to be on his toes. Darkrai was as well, ready to do whatever it took to get out of there alive.

"I recruited you because of what position you held in Team Plazma. You were a high-ranking officer there," said the Gentleman, turning to his desk. "You were one of the best there, and, as of now, were one of the best here... However, I know what's happening."

MiB raised an eyebrow at this, not sure where the Gentleman was going with this.

"You have never agreed with Team Plazma's or the Human Alliance's views on humans and Pokemon. You have always believed that as partners, humans and Pokemon are unstoppable. So, you decided to work for both organizations to learn of their plans..."

MiB only smiled again. The Gentleman was smart afterall. He was no fool.

"Now with your knowledge, you have decided to make a team. This team, as you believe, will be able to stop both the Human Alliance and Team Plazma, thus allowing yourselves to rise to power. I like that sort of brilliance."

"Glad you agree Gentleman," said MiB, lightly chuckling as Darkrai turned to him.

"However, I hate to break it to you, but you will not lead your team against me. In fact, you will be dying soon."

"What?"

"You heard me MiB. You will die," said the Gentleman as if he was telling the weather. It was so matter-of-factly that MiB knew not to question it... He knew of his fate already.

"That's not news to me. I'm gonna die anyways."

"Not by cancer, but by someone's hand."

"HOW DID YOU KNOW?!" yelled MiB. He had told NO ONE about him having cancer... Well, he did tell his father, but his father never associated himself with the Human Alliance. Still though, that wasn't important... He was gonna die by someone's hand?

"Who's?"

"Remember that boy you fought in Jackson, MS?"

"Yeah."

"His."

"Ah... I see."

"You aren't surprised?"

"No, I'm not. After what I've done, I probably deserve it," replied MiB, now in deep thought about the young man... Earl.

"Yes, well it seems he has a future much like John's and Israel's," said the Gentleman now, smiling behind his mask as MiB took off his mask, revealing a bald head and a face that showed battle scars. This was starting to be a bit much for him... His hazel eyes though seemed to have a distant look about him. MiB knew what the Gentleman meant by what he said. The Gentleman had told MiB that much about Alakazam's visions.

"You mean his future isn't certain?" asked MiB, actually worried.

"Yes, but there are four things certain about his future," began the Gentleman as MiB tilted his head questioningly.

"First, he will kill you."

"We know this."

"Second, he will lead an army. What is this army? I do not know."

MiB, however, already did know who that army was.

"Third, he will fight Israel throughout both of their journeys, and the last is that he will try to fight the Human Alliance and Team Plazma with his army. Rather he succeeds or not remains to be seen."

With all that he heard, MiB returned Darkrai to his Dusk Ball and put his mask back on, covering the bald head and his scars, but not his hazel eyes.

"Is that all?" asked MiB, ready to head out with his team. The Gentleman simply nodded as MiB began walking out.

"Is there anything that can-"

"Nothing will change my mind Gentleman," said MiB as he walked out of the office and down the stairs, back to the large room from before. The men and women of his team had already changed into their uniforms, each with a giant silver "L" stamped on the fronts of the shirts. They were ready to leave and begin their new lives, each as a unique part of the team. They might be many, but they are one now.

"LEGION! MOVE OUT!" shouted MiB as the members of Legion began walking out of the large room. As to why they are called Legion? Well, for they are many.

John was smiling, and the fanboy he was fighting was getting angry.
"Fearow! Fury Attack!" he shouted. Sparky leapt back and rolled out of the way of the attacks.
"Pikapi!" she shouted happily. She leapt up and slammed her electrified paw into Fearow's head. The Fearow dropped, knocked out by the attack.
"Good job Sparky. Now, kid, unless you have a decent pokemon, you may as well give up now," John said. Sparky beamed at the praise.
"Grr... Shut up! I'm going to beat you with my last pokemon! Snorunt! Icy Wind!" the boy shouted. The Snorunt came out of her pokeball and shot some freezing wind at Sparky, who leapt out of the way.
"Pika Pikachu!" she said happily, and stuck her tongue out at the other pokemon, who got as mad as his trainer.
"Slam!" John said simply. She charged at Snorunt, leapt over his attack, and brought her tail down on top of Snorunt's head. Snorunt was knocked to the ground. She followed up with a Thundbolt, knocking the ice type out. She ran up onto John's shoulder, who smiled at her happily.
"Man, you really are good," the boy said looking downcast.
"I'm the best. And don't feel bad. The only person that's ever beaten me in a fair fight was Israel. And I just beat him now. You just got beat by the next Champion. Later," John said. He walked back to the hill where Earl had now divided his team up to practice on their own.
"Earl! Where's that book? I need to teach my pokemon some stuff. Earl looked at him and walked over.
"Hey Honky! How's itt going?" Earl said, his voice oddly high pitched. Then he gave the most un-Earl like giggle John had ever heard. But it did sound like something Shadow would do...
"Shadow, quit messing around. Where's Earl?" John said. Earl/Shadow giggled again.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" she said. John reached around and yanked on her tail hard. She changed back and he lifted her up by her tail. She looked at him upside down.
"Ouch... Hehehe! He's over there!" she said. He set her on his other shoulder and walked over to Earl. The real Earl this time.
"Earl, where's that move book? I need to teach my pokemon some new moves," John said simply, as though nothing had happened.
 
Israel walked the path until he reached a vast grassland, "all right, now where's that....!!!?" Israel was stopped by the sound of very loud thunder, he turned around as another lightening bolt crashed to the ground not too far away from him. "Found it" he said running to the source of the lightening strike. Soon he exited the tall grass and found what he was looking for. A Machamp was on the ground fainted in front of an Electabuzz. It's trainer returned it and another trainer spoke, "You're and idiot Clarence if you wan't to capture the Titan you got to fight it with something it's weak against." "Lets see you do better!!!!" said Clarence. The other trainer smirked and sent out a Rhyhorn, "Rhyhorn use take down" he said, the Rhyhorn ran at the Electabuzz that had gained fame across America as the unstoppable Titan of the Safari Zone. Electabuzzes fist glowed blue and it threw a punch at the Rhyhorn stopping it in it's tracks and fainting it. "No way it knew ice punch?" said the formerly cocky trainer, and then Israel stepped in. "Alright it's my turn, step out of my way and let me show you how it's done!!!!" said Israel confidently.

"Earl, where's that move book? I need to teach my pokemon some new moves," John said simply, as though nothing had happened.

Earl quickly snapped out of his daze, thinking about the Man in Black as he looked around at his Pokemon. Each one of them were doing good, but it seems that Leonidas and Hera have been having a damn good match as both seemed to be exhausted. Smiling at the notes he took, Earl stood up.

"New moves? Okay then, let's see," said Earl as he opened his suitcase one more time, putting the notebook and pen back as he took out the gigantic book. Deciding it was time to teach his Pokemon some new moves as well, Earl whistled, causing his Pokemon to stop training and come running towards him, stopping when they stood in front of him. Each of them looked just a bit stronger than before, but Earl did notice a few bruises and cuts on them, except Judas. Judas seemed as if he could keep on going all freakin' day!

"So John, what moves did you have in mind? I gotta teach my team some new moves as well."
 
"Let me see that book," John said as he grabbed the book away from Earl. He flipped through the pages and found one that looked interesting for Cinder. It was Ominous Wind. A ghost type move. And Charizard could learn it. The secondary effect f it was that it couls make the pokemon using it get stronger. A lot strong. He smiled. Israel would never see iy coming.
"I want to teach Cinder this one," John said as he folded the corner of the page and began flipping through again. He was looking for Dark Pulse for Shadow, but suddenly she leapt off his shoulder and landed on the book.
"I want to learn this one!" she said. John looked at the page. It was Attract. Well, that certainly could make foes trip. Why not?
"Ok, why not. Shadow well learn Attract. Now, get off the book!" John said. Shadow looked pleased and leapt to the ground.
"Pika! Pikapi!" Sparky said.
"I haven't forgotten about you! I want to teach Sparky Brick Break!" John said, as he handed the book back to Earl.
"Now, how do I go about doing that? I'm a great trainer, but I'm no move tutor," John said with a shrug.
 
Earl nodded at the moves mentioned. He didn't really see the need for any of his Pokemon to learn Brick Break or Attract, but when he saw the page with the folded corner he smiled. It was time for Joan to learn a new special move.

"Ominous Wind, eh? Good choice if I say so myself. Perhaps I should teach Cinder Ominous Wind? Afterall, I am going to teach Joan the move as well. Brick Break should be easy for Sparky to grasp, since she already knows how to use Slam. Attract..."

Earl quickly looked down at Shadow, pausing for effect as he did so. While he did that, Joan buzzed around him excitedly, seeming to be red blur as she did so. She didn't know what Ominous Wind was, but she liked the sound of it.

"I believe Shadow will be able to grasp it perfectly in no time flat. Anything else John that got your interest? Maybe something for that Rhyhorn you just caught?"
