((*does the page 100 pwnage dance*))
"Your Pokemon are fully healed, thank you for visiting the Celadon City Pokemon Center," the pink-haired Nurse Joy said cheerfully as she handed a tray filled with Pokeballs back to a still-smiling Jaeshan.
The blonde-haired trainer thanked her and clipped each sphere back onto his belt one by one, and before he exited the center, he stopped to take one last look at the four badges lined up neatly in his badge case. "Boulder, Cascade, Thunder, and Rainbow," he said to himself, snapping it shut and putting it back in his backpack. The case that held his Hoenn badges was in there too and at some point he intended to go back to his home region to win more badges from there, but for now he was happy sticking to his Kanto badge quest.
As he stepped outside, he stopped to look around. The sheer size and liveliness of Celadon City never ceased to amaze him, though he knew that there was no way he could live in a large city like this. He'd grown up in tiny Littleroot Town, and he felt a slight twinge of homesickness pluck at his stomach. It lingered a bit longer than normal, especially now that he knew both his parents had given him their blessing and encouragement for his career as a trainer - they had even gone so far to start housing his Pokemon in their very own home. As he walked, he wondered what his other Pokemon were currently up to. He figured Victreebel and Butterfree were hanging out in the vast gardens his mother liked to tend to, though he had found out recently that she and Butterfree were getting along quite nicely. Nidoking seemed to like staying there as well, for he had plenty of room to romp around in, and Jaeshan's father had even taken the liberty of having several large boulders and logs and other various materials for the Drill Pokemon to train with.
Speaking of training, Jaeshan thought, heading east from the Pokemon Center, We may have won that gym battle, but not by much. I totally underestimated Erika and her Pokemon, and that cost us dearly. It's time for some serious training. He still wore that same smile as he passed through the gatehouse and onto Route 7.

Hoothoot was just a tiny bit nervous now. The human mentioned what he assumed to be an attack that he’d never managed to hear of. And now Cindy of Cherrygrove City had disappeared from sight. His head continued rotating ‘round like the beacon of a lighthouse. Unfortunately, it didn’t serve to shed any light on his little predicament. The mouse was gone.
“Alright, Buddy. Leer.”
That’s when things went from bad to worse for the poor Owl Pokemon. There was a burning orange flare that shot up at the corner of his range of sight. And when his funny rotating head spun to figure out what the hell was going on, all he could see was a pair of glowing red eyes glaring from the grassy shadows.
The sudden fright made Hoothoot jump in terror. And just as soon as the eyes appeared, they were gone again. Hoothoot fearfully spun around in random directions, searching out the orange flare, the thing he figured to be Cindy’s quills.

Mitsu heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't really remember Mai's Flygon but at the moment she was just relieved it wasn't something that was trying to brutally murder her. In fact it looked pretty tame and friendly. "I'm just glad it's not trying to kill us," Mitsu laughed nervously. Truth be told, however, she was still a bit on edge. It was clearly a strong Pokemon and Mitsu couldn't be sure that Kasiya had control over the seemingly friendly dragon.
Taking a seat on the swings Mitsu looked around their new surroundings. The chains were cold to the touch despite the sun beating down on them. She kicked her legs, swinging to and fro, her feet hovering over the ground. Keeping an eye on the Flygon Mitsu took in the images of trees and the buildings of a small park and playground. It was indeed an odd sight to see in such an urbanized city. "So," the purple haired girl spoke, "what do we do next?"

"Well then you two how about I fix you up some nice fresh sushi. Heck I will make sure to make some for your little Ambipom friend there for when he wakes... Whats this now? That little Ambipom of yours is wide awake!" Tony Tony laughed heartily Apparently he knew about Ampersands dampening field. "Well Ampersand you certainly did find a strange new partner!"
Ampersand chuckled as he took a sip of the hot saki that Tony just set down in front of him. "I sure did. We met outside the National Park."
"I got my Yanma in the contest!" Robin pipped in as she and Luffy drank from their water.
"Really? That is pretty impressive catching a Yanma, they are pretty rare." Tony laughed as he started slicing... something Robin couldn't really see.
"Yeah, Raz really is something special." Robin giggled slightly. "So how did you two meet up?" She asked curiously.
"Ah me and Ampersand go a long ways back! He actually took my job believe it or not!" Tony laughed as he started to cut whatever it was he was making.
"I did not take your job." Ampersand gently chided. "You were the one who wanted to retire, you were the one who requested me as your replacement, I did not take your job."
"Hahaha! Well so I did. Anyway you certainly were an interesting person to train. We couldn't rely on pokemon with you, had to learn to do it all yourself." Tony Tony laughed again as he placed three plates down one in front of each of them.
"Thank you!" Robin grinned as she used her chopsticks to pick up a piece. Plopping it into her mouth Robin almost died of happiness. "Ooooooh this is the best ever!" She gushed happily. To her left Luffy had just inhaled the whole thing and was jumping happily in his seat. Apparently he did taste it somehow and he really liked it.
"So Robin, Tony used to be a pokemon trainer."
"I still am!"
"Fine he still is. Anyway maybe you could give her a lesson or something. I am no help at all at these kinds of things and I need to do somethings before we head off to Floaroma." Namely pick up some allergy medicine and make a few phone calls.
"Oh so you are just going to ditch us then? Well fine, I will teach Robin so she doesn't need your help anymore." Tony joked as he gave Robin a conspiratory wink.

Kasiya nodded along in silent agreement to Mitsu's statement. The Flygon seemed friendly enough, and though the feeling that she should trust him was almost overwhelming, a part of her knew she couldn't, at least not completely. She held up the Pokeball to recall him, but stopped as he'd wandered over to the sand pit and started to nose around. Evidently he seemed to enjoy it as he let out a happy squeal and started to roll around in the sand, flapping his wingtips to create a mini sandstorm around him. He doesn't seem to mind that he's not with his owner, Kasiya thought, deciding to let the Flygon be for now. Either way, I bet Mai won't think twice about giving me back Shocker! She smiled at that thought, as it gave her a bit of hope to cling to.
Kasiya took the swing next to Mitsu, pulling herself up so that she was standing. She wobbled a little as she got her balance, and when she was sure she wasn't going to fall she started to build up momentum until she was swinging back and forth, though she didn't go as fast as she could for fear of falling. She hadn't played on the swings since she was a little girl, and she closed her eyes and relished in the moment, allowing her swinging to slow as she heard Mitsu speak. "I don't know," she answered truthfully. She had no idea where Keegan and Sasha had got to, and as she looked down at her clothes she remembered just how badly she needed new ones. "I still need a new outfit," she mumbled, jumping down out of the swing and tugging at one of the tears in her shirt, though it was forgotten quite quickly as she looked over at her purple-haired friend and smiled. "What do you wanna do?"
=-=-=-=-=
Jaeshan walked until the hustle and bustle of Celadon City were far behind him, as was the smoggy, polluted city air. He breathed in deeply, enjoying the natural scenery all around him, though he knew if he walked too far, he'd wind up right back in Saffron City, which was also a bit too crowded for his tastes. He walked until he came up on a somewhat grassy area, lined with trees. It was a bit off the beaten path and somewhat secluded, and Jaeshan reckoned it would make for a fine place to do some training. After all, it was a quick bike ride away from two different cities, both of which had good Pokemon Centers.
Jaeshan cracked his knuckles and tapped two of the Pokeballs on his belt. A second later, Blaziken and Shelgon appeared in front of him, both looking like they were full of energy. "I hope you girls are feeling well-rested," he told them, "because we're about to get into some serious training." The two Pokemon exchanged glances before looking back at their trainer. Blaziken's wrists exploded with flames, and Shelgon let out a loud roar - it seemed they were both quite eager for some 'serious training' as Jaeshan had called it.
((It's alright, Mitsu! I'm in no hurry <3 ))

"I was actually heading over to Oreburgh before I, um, got lost in the cave," Mitsu replied sheepishly. It wasn't the whole truth, but then again a white lie couldn't hurt her if she never found out. Mitsu didn't really feel the need to tell her that haku had been kidnapped by a rogue, or mentally insane, Geodude and that she'd kicked the rock Pokemon in anger. Which of course led her to returning to Jubilife to get some treatment. Haku had been a troublesome little newborn and while he'd grown he was still a pretty troublesome little guy. There was that picture of Mitsu with an ink stained face courtesy of Haku that was possibly still floating around on her friends' Pokenav.
Mitsu continued to swing, kicking her legs back and forth to gain altitude. She didn't really play on these when she was a kid, there weren't many playgrounds around Mossdeep after all. But the sensation of flight that it gave her was thrilling. She wanted to jump off and take off into the skies. The chains creaked slightly as the girl slowed down to match the pace of her friend. "I actually don't know what to do anymore," Mitsu laughed. "I thought I was going to be spending some time in Sinnoh with Kilik, but he took off. To train and be a hero and all that jazz, you know?" Mitsu sighed. She really wish he hadn't left so soon, they didn't even really spend time on the ship either, he was training there too.
The purple haired girl turned to face her friend, only now taking notice of the ripped and battered clothing that her friend was still wearing. "Maybe we should go shopping?" she suggested, "You look like you could use some new threads."

Kilik leaned against the counter of the Pokemon Center, his arms crossed on the desk while he leisurely tapped his toe against the floor. He had arrived a little faster than Nurse Joy had anticipated, but it wasn't too long before he received his Treecko and Chimchar's Pokeballs. He clipped them to his belt and turned around, heading towards a vacant chair. He pulled out his PokeDex and began to scroll through it. The number of Pokemon he'd seen was sky high compared to the ones that he'd actually owned. He switched it over to the Hoenn Dex mode, just to imagine what it would have been like if he started out capturing a lot of Pokemon in Hoenn and completing his native Region's Gym challenge. He began flipping through and eventually landed on Aggron. A smile appeared on his lips. He remembered the first time he wanted to even capture a Lairon. Kilik closed his eyes and thought about that very day. It was a trainer's whim - he saw it and felt like catching one himself. Yet he didn't actually capture the Lairon on his own; he had Rena to thank for that.
His mind then raced to the day Lairon finally evolved into Aggron. Amidst a battle and angry that he wasn't the stronger of the two Pokemon during the battle, he forced his evolution and came out almost on top. The beast fell in the match, thanks to the energy needed to trigger an evolution. Yet that didn't stop Aggron from rampaging the moment he was healed. Despite the massive disadvantage, he had nearly killed Flygon and forced her into intensive care. Against all that, though, Kilik knew he had total control over him and that he was one of his most reliable Pokemon. "I worked damn hard for him!" Kilik said, standing up and clenching his fist, "I feel bad for sending him home...perhaps I could use him not only to train, but to even get him to be stronger too." He stuffed the PokeDex back into his pocket and ran over to the PC.
Kilik tacked in his user name and Trainer ID number and brought up the selections. "Bebe's PC?" Kilik raised an eyebrow. He knew Bill of Kanto had developed the system and that Lanette in Hoenn simplified the organization. He clicked and noticed that there were more boxes than Lanette's system. Way to not really innovate, Bebe, he thought. He selected Aggron's icon and activated the transfer. Before he knew it, the Great Ball materialized in front of him and he took it in his hands. "Long time no see, Aggron." He exited the building, holding the ball in his hand. Kilik figured the best place to train would be directly outside of Floaroma, with the Pokemon Center a five minute walk away. He tossed the ball up and down as he walked, his other hand in his pocket.
He found a great spot and tossed the ball into the air. "C'mon out, Aggron!" The ball burst open and Aggron came forth in a blinding flash of light. He stretched his arm and stomped a bit, swinging his tail around. It had been a while since he'd seen the light of day. The behemoth lifted his head and let out a mighty roar into the sky, clenching his steely fists.
-*-
"A trainer?" Mazarin repeated, putting his hands behind his head as he walked. "You could say that. I'd say more of an..." he shoved his hand into his pocket and pulled out his T.E.A.M badge, flashing it to the girl, "officer." He put the badge away and returned his hands to his head. "But don't worry, you're not under arrest. I waaas a trainer, but I was recruited to be an officer. Iiiit's a tough job but somebodeh's gotta do it." He shrugged.
"I assume you're a trainer too?" he asked her. Banette rolled his eyes. Obviously, she's a trainer of some kind since she's got a Pokemon. What a silly question to ask. He noticed that some people were backing off from Junko and Maz, mostly due to how frightening both of their Ghost Pokemon were. People in Goldenrod must be super easy to scare.

Nodding, her mouth was to full of delicious food Robin grinned as she looked over at Luffy and gave him a thumbs up. They were gunna get some training from some one as cool as Tony Tony? How cool as that! "Sounds great! I really would like some training, we could probably really use it to." Sure her pokemon were really tough but that is what she had really been relying on since she started. It would be good to get some skills behind their high power.
"Great, we'll finish up here and I can take you out to one of the training fields." Tony grinned as he handed them the next dish he had made for them.
The meal continued on with a lot of laughter and Ampersand and Tony caught up with each other. The two started trying to outdo each other with their stories and it was pretty darn funny to Robin and Luffy were were in tears they were laughing so hard.
When the meal finally ended Robin helped Tony clean up really quick and he put up a closed sign. "All right Robin are you ready? It's going to be tough but a lot of fun if you want to train with me."
"The tougher it is the better it is in the end right?" Robin offered with a grin as she looked up at her new trainer.
Tony just laughed and clapped Robin hard on the back. "That's right girlie! All right let's get going, it's not to far from here." Tony was right, there was a park that had a few trainers milling around but they didn't really pay to much attention to them. "All right, let me see what I am working with, release your pokemon Robin."
A serious look, that was kinda funny, appeared on Robins face as she gave Tony a salute. At Robin's side Luffy stepped forward as Robin tossed out her four other pokeballs revealing all of her pokemon. Raz buzzed around the place doing a few flips and just showing off a little. Brook meanwhile didn't really do anything special other tip his hat a little and cast a look over at Tony. Slowpoke just sat there, he probably didn't realize he was out of his pokeball yet. Ace meanwhile just crossed his arms over his chest and cast a suspicious look over at Tony before glancing back at Robin wondering what exactly was going on here. "My Yanma's name is Raz, Brook is my Jumpluff, Slowpoke is just Slowpoke, and Ace is my Chimchar!"
Tony rubbed his chin as he looked down at Robin's pokemon. There was potential here, he was a bit surprised she didn't have six pokemon and decided to question her on it after he finished his inspection. Her team could be pretty good if she worked on it hard and trained with them everyday. "You don't have six pokemon Robin?"
At that Robin seemed a bit downcast and twiddled her thumbs a little. "I do but Black*Star, my Totodile got hurt so he is resting at my home."
"All right, well then. Lets get started on this. Every pokemon has something they are good at, if you train what they are good at and perfect it they can overcome any odds. For example, your Yanma there is fast, I mean it can get really fast with it's Speed Boost ability. So what we are going to work with him is taking advantage of that speed. A lot of pokemon that are really fast just rely on how fast they can move and not what other things they can do with that speed.

"Take advantage of his speed but not by going fast?" Robin wasn't quite sure what Tony meant by that but she was willing to find out.
"You don't get it? There are plenty of things you can do with speed other then move fast. You can think faster, your attacks can go at whatever speed you want them to, you can study things a lot faster. Your Yanma has unleash a barrage of attacks at the same time but have them all hit at different times. It takes a lot of control and finesse but when you master it the rewards are endless."
Robin thought about it for a long moment her chin resting on her hand. After a moment she finally asked. "So, Raz has access to the speed force like the Flash?"
Tony stared at her for a moment before he started laughing. "That is exactly what it is like Robin. Raz just needs to learn how to access his speed force!"
Perking up Robin grinned and clapped her hands together. "Great! So what can we do to get him to access his speed force?"
"Well, it is a little tricky, for now about we train your Yanma in clone attacks. Your Yanma looks pretty tough, he should know Double Team yeah?"
"Yeah he does, he knows a bunch of moves, and I taught him Psychic and somehow he picked up Faint Attack to." Robin seemed really proud of the moves that her Yanma knew.
"Well that's pretty good, ok let's try this. I want your Yanma to practice attacking something but having them focused on the clone. The Psychic TM you taught your Yanma is really going to help with that. You see most pokemon who use Double Team just create copies of themselves that move at the same time. What your Yanma is going to do is drop a copy of itself and control it with his psychic abilities while using its speed to sneak up and attack the other without them noticing. Since your pokemon is so fast he should think faster in order to handle the speed he has. So his mind should be able to keep those things in order."
Robin herself was amazing at how smart an idea that was, she could never have thought up something like that! "Raz you got that?" Robin herself only sorta got it. It was a good thing Raz was a lot smarter then her and he nodded, it was going to be hard but he could do it! "All right, if you got it that's what you are going to be practicing!"
"Ok, and it wouldn't be fair if he practiced with out knowing if it was working or not. Weavile is my fastest pokemon and your Yanma will be practicing on him. Don't take advantage of your speed boost little Yanma or this won't work. I want you to work with your base speed!" Tony tossed out his pokeball to reveal a powerful, and somewhat scared up Weavile. "You two go find a place and start practicing!" The two nodded and headed off to go practice. "All right, now lets see who is next." Tony glanced around until he finally decided on picking Robin's Jumpluff next. "Let's work on your Jumpluff. It looks like it just evolved and that's fine. It really needs to get used to its own body, Jumpluff are not the strongest pokemon but their uses of powders and ability to gain their health back and speed is very useful. Even the strongest of pokemon can be brought down by a Jumpluff if they use their powders and other abilities right. You can combine those powders with its other attacks. A lot of those attacks aren't very strong but how strong do you think it would be if it combined its Tackle with lets say a Stun Spore. It hits the target and explodes in powder. It is kinda like a fake out, the enemy thinks that they are going to be hit with a Tackle but the real attack is the powder."
Robin listened carefully to what Tony was saying, she really didn't like the fact that the attack was rather sneaky but Tony was right, Jumpluff didn't do a lot of damage and they couldn't really take a lot of damage. What Tony was saying was right, even if she didn't like the tactics Robin really didn't like the thought of her friends getting hurt when there was a chance they could have avoided it. "All right. That makes sense." Robin said after a moment.
"Ok good, you got that Jumpluff?" Tony asked Brook who just nodded, he liked the idea of getting hurt a lot less. "Ok good! You are going to be practicing with my buddy Tangrowth." The two of them couldn't do to much damage to each other and Tangrowth would add an interesting addition since the Jumpluff would have some trouble getting to its target. Tony released his large and pretty friendly looking Tangrowth. The large pokemon gave Brook a small wave and the two of them headed off to start their practice.

The wild Zigzagoon stood up to face Ghos and began growling at him. Ghos just stared at the tinyraccoon Pokémon, wondering why in the world it was just growling at him, and not attacking, unaware of the fact that it actually was trying to attack, though it was a defensive move. Unfortunately for the Zigzagoon, Growl was also a Normal-type attack, and therefore had no effect on Ghos whatsoever, and all that happened was it getting a little more damage done to it via its burn.
Leon sighed. "Will-o-wisp." His voice dragged, laced with boredom from doing the same thing over and over and over again. He'd have Muuma battle, but she was much stronger than Ghos; he needed to experience. Still, this was getting incredibly redundant. Hopefully Ghos would learn a few more moves soon, and they could spice things up a bit.

A sarcastic, almost darkly amused smile found its way onto Nina's lips as she watched the boy with a close eye. "If you think that you're going to scare me--" The girl cut herself off as Mike shot his two fireballs at her. Without a moment's hesitation, and in one very fluid motion, Nina extended both of her arms out in front of her, palms glowing with the same blue aura that encompassed her body; she watched the fireballs that were barreling towards her and immediately took control of them with her psychic power. Combining them both into one larger fireball, the girl hovered it above her left hand. She smiled again, and finished her sentence.
"You're terribly mistaken."
She shot the fireball back towards Mike.

Keegan grinned and also gave a bit of a wave to the crowd around him. He couldn't help but feel good about being cheered on like this, as it hadn't exactly happened very often. The last time he'd experienced something like this had been when he and Kasiya made the trip to Slateport from Cinnabar Island via ferry, and he'd won that little tournament they'd been holding below deck, and he remembered feeling the same way he did now. Of course, having a beautiful girl on his arm definitely helped to make the scene complete, and he nodded in agreement. They did make a pretty good team, and he definitely wouldn't mind being in the spotlight more often.
"Yes, healing would be good," he said, looking over his shoulder at Helios and Kitsune, and he smiled. "Those two make a cute pair," he said, prompting an evil glare from the male Ninetales. Being called cute would have been fine if he was still a Vulpix, but it really didn't fly now that he wasn't. Keegan grinned and kneeled down in front of the fox so they were eye-level. "Helios, you already know how awesome you are. I don't need to inflate your ego any more." The fox grinned and nuzzled his trainer's cheek, and the two of them followed after Sasha and her Ninetales. I wonder where Kasiya is now, the redhead thought as he walked, his hands deep in the pockets of his jacket.
=====
"It's happening!" Eve cried, her voice going several octaves higher. "Eevee is evolving!"
Sure enough, the tiny Eevee had started to shift and grow as his body had initiated a rapid change. His legs grew longer and more slender, his ears slightly shorter and more catlike. His fluffy tail became slimmer before splitting at the end, and when the light faded a rather handsome Espeon stood before them, the sunlight reflecting brightly off the red gem set in his forehead. "Espe, espe!" he barked, pawing the ground impatiently.
"Congratulations," Miharu said, watching the newly-evolved Espeon carefully. He seemed tired, but eager to continue. "Would you like to continue the match, or call it quits?" she asked, seeing as the purpose of this match had been fulfilled.
"Let's finish it," Eve answered quickly, looking to her new Espeon. "Take down the Flaaffy with a Shadow Ball!" The Espeon nodded, his forehead gem flickering slightly before an orb of ghostly energy was sent spiraling towards Sparkle.
"Thunderbolt!" Miharu cried, aware of just how much stronger that Shadow Ball would be now that the Espeon had evolved. Her vision now clearer, the Flaaffy quickly gathered the electrical energy and launched it towards the Espeon. The Shadow Ball and Thunderbolt passed each other on the field and slammed into their respective targets - the Espeon gave a weak cry and slumped to the ground, as did Sparkle who was sent skidding back several feet. Neither were able to continue, leaving the Umbreon and Bulbasaur to finish the match themselves.

"Aggron!" Kilik cheered, running up to hug the giant metal beast. To his surprise, his Pokemon didn't retaliate with a sideswipe. Instead, he felt a rocky hand on his head and a soft rumble filled his ears. He looked up to see Aggron actually...smiling? As if the beast could smile. "Check these out!" Kilik hopped back a bit and let loose his three new Pokemon: Chimchar, Drifloon, and Treecko. All three materialized in front of Aggron, who lowered his head and growled in the face of all three Pokemon. They were so small...so weak! What was Kilik doing? Kilik laughed as Chimchar and Treecko huddled together, neither of them having met the giant Steel-type. Yet Drifloon didn't react at all. Instead, the balloon Pokemon merely floated in place. He didn't quite see what was so scary about the Aggron. Treecko let go of Chimchar after a few moment and ran behind Kilik, pulling on his pant leg. She pointed at the beast and was literally shaking. It was as if she wanted him to take it out by himself! Chimchar got up in the Aggron's face and clenched his fist, growling. Having overcome the initial fear, he was ready to fight that big thing! He may be well over five times his size, but he could take it down! ...Right? Gulping, even Chimchar backed down.
"Heeey," Kilik picked Treecko up and put her on his shoulder, "Relax. This is my Aggron," he explained to the three Pokemon. "He won't really hurt you." He patted the beast, who was still lowered to look at Drifloon, on the head. "I brought him out here for three reasons. One, I missed him. Two, he's incredibly powerful. And three, I want all of you to train with him. If any one can make you guys stronger, it's Aggron!" Growling, Aggron stood straight up again. Part of him had hoped that Kilik was kidding and was actually calling him to destroy a few buildings. Sadly, this was not the case. If Kilik wanted him to train those weaklings, then so be it! He let out another mighty roar and whipped up a Sandstorm, the grass beneath them being lifted up to make way for the soil that began whipping around them all violently. Kilik lifted his arm to block his face, laughing on the inside. I didn't even say go... He put Treecko on the ground and motioned for Chimchar and Drifloon to follow him to a safe enough distance.
"Treecko!" Kilik barked, "He's really good at hiding in the sand! But don't let that scare you, just go in there and attack with your Dragonbreath!" Treecko could barely stay on the ground what with that big scary sandstorm that she was stuck in the middle of. The sand obscured her vision and made it very hard to pinpoint where exactly Aggron was standing. She could hear his low growls and the ocassional stomping of his massive feet, but other than that, nothing! She let loose her Dragonbreath, a stream of blue fire pouring from her mouth. It separated the sand enough for her to have a clean walkway, but it didn't come into contact with her target. "Aggron!" Kilik called out, "Let her have her time to find you! I don't want you attacking her!" Even one hit with his tail would probably be enough to knock her out!
Chimchar scrambled up to Kilik's shoulder and squinted into the sand. He saw Treecko's blue light flicker around in the storm a few times, but otherwise, he couldn't see jack-diddly. All he saw was a towering pillar of swirling dirt and inside was the biggest Pokemon he'd ever seen! Kilik was crazy for throwing Treecko in there by herself.Treecko kept firing off Dragonbreath attacks in random directions until she saw it hit a giant tail. She ran over to where it was and ran up Aggron's back to his head, grabbing onto one of his horns. Aggron stomped around, throwing his head around madly trying to get her off of his head. She was more a nuisance than an actual threat. Yet when she unleashed a full Dragonbreath to his face, Aggron roared and grabbed her in his fist. A small scorch mark was left on his otherwise perfect metal armor.Treecko struggled to get free and stared the beast straight in his eyes, scared completely out of her mind. This was it. Death was coming.

Kilik laughed and crossed his arms. Everything was going to be fine. The Sandstorm subsided and the area seemed to return back to normal, despite large sand dunes dotting the field. The boy watched the battle while tapping his foot. He had to admit that seeing Treecko in Aggron's death grip as a little frightening, but Aggron knew not to hurt her. He felt Chimchar hop off of his shoulder to go help, but he reached out and caught the chimp by his arm. "Relax," Kilik said, putting him back on his shoulder, "You're not nearly strong enough to even make Aggron notice that you're there. Treecko will be fine," the boy explained, "I wouldn't put her in any actual danger on purpose."
He roared in Treecko's face, saliva flying everywhere. He may not be able to actually damage her, but he can certainly scare her!Treecko groaned as a big wad of spit splashed on her face and she let out a scream, struggling even hard to get away. Oh, how she wanted to wash it off! It was so gross! She let loose another Dragonbreath straight into Aggron's mouth.He dropped her on the ground and stomped around, roaring. His throat was burning! He slammed his foot dangerously close to Treecko, who ran away in the nick of time. She jumped into the trees and found the biggest leaf that she could, using it like a towel. Disgusting! When she returned to the battlefield, Aggron was still mad that she hit him in such a cheap way. Gulping, she took a step back as Aggron stomped towards her. He pulled his claw back and it began to glow a dull silver. The beast brought down his Metal Claw and slammed it into the ground. While he was charging the attack, she took the moment to analyze the situation and ran between the behemoth's legs right as he initiated the attack! Now behind him, and feeling rather smart about it, she let loose a barrage of Absorb bubbles, most of which popped uselessly against his rock hard skin. However, a few returned to her to restore the health she'd lost in the Sandstorm.
Kilik continued to watch on, rather impressed. Thanks to her small size and superior speed, she can outrun everything Aggron throws at her. He nodded and looked over at Chimchar. "Your turn is coming up next, so I hope you're ready." The little monkey gulped and turned away from Kilik to look at Aggron. Alright, so what? If Treecko used her size to her advantage, he could too! "Treecko!" he called, "Come back!" The gecko paused and then looked at her trainer. Already? Giving one last look to Aggron, she tried to look as menacing as she could and ran back over to her human. She must've done well if he was bringing her back already! "Great job," Kilik smiled as she jumped onto his opposite shoulder, "I can't have you actually beating Aggron without giving Chimchar a chance!" At that statement, the Fire-type hopped into action and ran out in front of the Iron Armor Pokemon. He awaited his command like a good boy - with a Pokemon of this size, he couldn't just go all willy-nilly. He gripped the grass beneath him in anticipation. This was going to be good.

Ok, two pokemon down only three more to go, then of course he had to work with Robin herself. Ampersand must have had something in mind if he brought her to him. Taking a deep breath Tony stared down at them before pointing down at her Chimchar. "All right, your Chimchar, and its evolution line is known for its versatility. They can be very strong pokemon that can take on any type and any pokemon they want, if you train them right. A lot of trainers just rely on their speed and the fact that they are one of the few fire pokemon in Sinnoh. We are not going to do that. Your Chimchar should be able to take on any pokemon it sets its mind to. A lot of people think that since they have a special move on their Chimchar that they are better but that won't be the case. Yours will know how to hold itself in any situation and you and I are going to teach it in a way that will show them whats what!" For some reason trainers who used Chimchar and its line seemed to offend Tony. Mostly because they were usually the most arrogant bunch of the lot. Robin though, Robin was different. This girl didn't have an arrogant bone in her body, she was confident but she didn't seem to have a problem with turning to others when she needed help.
Robin and Ace were a bit taken back by Tony's veminance towards Chimchar's and their trainers, the two exchanged a look before quickly turning back to him. "Well, I picked up Ace from Professor Rowan earlier this morning. I didn't know the professor had reserved a spot for me in his starting trainer list. Poor Ace waited for me so long and I didn't even know about it!" Robin stamped her foot on the ground in anger before she settled down. She didn't like the fact that she had left her friend there for so long.
"Well, he is with you now and you two can start working on being a strong team together. Now since your Chimchar is new to you he probably doesn't know any TM's right?" Robin nodded. "Right so we are going to work on his dexterity and agility. Ace here should be able to dodge any attacks that come his way while countering at the same time. So he is going to practice dealing with multiple enemies at the same time." Taking out a pokeball he released a cool looking bee pokemon. "This is my Vespiqueen and you two are going to have a lot of fun." There was a grin on Tony's face that clearly stated the opposite of what Ace was going to be having.
Ace and Robin exchanged another glance before Ace shrugged and followed the Vespiqueen somewhere to start their own training. Robin watched the two go before turning back to Tony, she wasn't sure what he was going to do with Slowpoke and Luffy but whatever it was she was sure it would be brilliant.
"Ok, now for the tough one, your Slowpoke. Now there are advantages in being slow but only if your reaction time is at least on normal time. Most Slowpokes think slowly, act slowly and feel a lot slower. Now just because your pokemon moves slowly doesn't mean it has to think slower. Being part psychic helps it here, its mind is wired to work on faster levels but since everything else about them is so slow they don't ever use it because they don't know that they can use it. So we are going to train your Slowpoke in using its psychic powers to transmit what is happening in real time to its brain. That way at least your pokemon has a chance. Its a miracle its made it this far to tell you the truth." Tony cast Robin a disappointed look and Robin looked properly ashamed of herself. "Right so I am going to have him train with my Espeon. It won't be so much as training as psychic intervention."
Tony released his Espeon, the psychic pokemon was really pretty and Robin 'Oo'd' and 'aww'd' at pretty pokemon. "Oh wow your Espeon is so pretty!" The Espeon gave Robin a small grin before sending a sort of psychic communication to Slowpoke before the two headed off at a pretty slow pace.
