Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kevin and Monsoon made their way back to Violet City and headed directly for the train station. About halfway there, Kevin heard the train's whistle blow. Intent on catching the next train to Hoenn, Kevin picked up Monsoon and made a dash for the the platform. Fishing his Train Ticket out of his bag as he ran, he held it in the air to waste no time with the attendent. Just as the train was about to pass by the end of the platform, Kevin made a leap of faith. He soared through the air, landing upside-down in the aisle. "Whoo, barely made it" he said out of breath and fell over.

The flying Pokemon zipped around before landing several Steel Wing attacks on the overwhelmed Shiver,who was too slow to keep up with the speedy Pokemon. He withdrew into his shell as the Skarmory contunied to batter it around into the walls.

"I can't see them they can't see me. I can't see them they can't see me. I can't see them they can't see me." Shiver repeated to himself as he was flung from one side of the gym to the other.

Mike was starting to get a little worried. "Shiver, are you ok?" He asked as his Pokemon's shell opened up a little bit and winked at his trainer, the Gym Leader nor her Pokemon saw it. You sly devil.

As the Skarmory flew down for another swoop, Shiver lurched to the side and grabbed onto the side of the Pokemon's wing. "Got you now!" He shouted as the steel bird's wing began to feel the icy chill that gave him his name. Soon the bird's entire body was encased in ice. Shiver hopped over with it in his mouth and dropped it by Winona, who stood there speechless.

"Not bad at all." Portabello remarked, impressed.

"Grr! Okay Smeargle, save the last Hydro Pump for later. Let's get that Flareon with a Thunder attack!" Cathy exclaimed. Smeargle stood still for a moment as electricity gathered around the brush tail. Then it let out the large blast of electricity. Luckily it missed by a few feet due to all the Sand Attacks. "Again Smeargle!"

"Hit it with Tackle before it shoots it off!" Mag shouted. Sunfire quickly moved in and Tackle the Smeargle. It shot off the Thunder in a random direction and missed once again. "Gosh dangit!" Cathy swore. "Hit it with a Thunder!"

This time the Smearlge had a good aim. It struck Sunfire square as he ran in to Tackle it. The resulting shockwave sent him back a few feet as he recovered from the blast. Mag cringed at the hit. "Hang in there and hit it with another Tackle."

Keegan allowed Kasiya to lead him to the Pokemon Center, seeing as she seemed to know this town and he had no clue where he was at just about any given time. Relief overcame him as he saw the PC come into view. "Thank goodnes," he moaned as they trudged up to it.

When Dante finally reached the bottom of the hole he winced slighlty and shook his head hoping that not to much sand had made its way into his hair. Looking up he groaned slightly. He really didn't want to climb up that large hole. 'How did I even fall down here in the first place anyway.' he thought before he heard a muffled sound coming from under him. "Huh?" He said intelligently before looking down and spotting that he was sitting on Meowth. He quickly jumped off. "Ah sorry Meowth really I a-" Dante's appology was cut off however when he felt whatever he was now sitting on start to move to the side. "WHA?!" He yelled as he jumped/fell off whatever it was.

"Yeah, good idea," Kasiya told Keegan, frowning slightly to herself as she wanted to be fully rested when she took on Erika the next day. She too put her stuff on the ground and curled up on the other end of the couch, thankful there was enough room for her to at least pull her legs up. She closed her eyes, her thoughts kept drifting back to the mural they'd stumbled upon earlier that day. It seemed rather important somehow, and she'd sensed something powerful coming from it. It was slowly in the back of her mind as she drifted off, dreaming about Growly and Fang making tossed salad out of the grass type Pokemon of Celadon Gym.

Kilik left the Gym of Fuchia City, looking up at the sky. Flareon trudged alongside its trainer and Koffing hovered next to his head. There was a cough from behind him. He turned, "Yes? Sensei Koga?"

"You may not leave me yet, Kilik," he hissed, lifting up a Pokeball. He tossed it into the air. From the light appeared a purple monster. It had two large forewings and two small wings that looked a bit like feet. With a fang-bearing frown and piercing yellow eyes, it hovered above the ground, staring dead on at Flareon.

"Koga? What are yo--"

"You must battle me. I will let you go once you battle me!" he pointed at Flareon, "And HE will battle alongside you. The bond you share is very strong and he is the only one of your two partners that can beat Crobat!"
