With wide eyes Robin followed the other two inside the building, inside the building the crowd could be heard as the latest appeal was made. Looking around Robin got in the small line at a small desk that was in front of two large double doors. Robin just assumed that the contest was going on in there, she wished she could watch it...
"Yes we would like to register for the Kanto contests." Sarah spoke to the secretary in front.
"Of course, let me just see your pokedex's and I will give you the Kanto Ribbon box." The lady smiled as she held out her hand to accept there dex's. Sarah, Jayme and Robin all rifled through their bags until they produced there pokedex's and gave them to the secretary. The woman scanned them in and typed some stuff up before she placed them on the counter again with a small black box for each of them. "Here you go. All of you are now registered for the Kanto Contest season. I wish you the best of luck."
"Thank you!" Robin said with a grin as she put her stuff away. She figured that they would just be headed off to Cerulean now in order to get ready for there own contest. She however turned out to be wrong.
"Since the Cerulean contest starts in the afternoon lets watch this contest before heading out." Jayme said as she and Sarah headed off to the double doors. "Pay for our tickets Robin!" She called back to the other girl.
Frowning somewhat Robin's shoulders slumped. Yeah she would love to see the contest but did she have to pay for the tickets. Reaching for her bag she was about to pull her wallet out when the secretary stopped her. "The contest has already start how about I let you three in for free." Looking up Robin smiled great fully at the other woman. "
Oh thank you soooo much!" She nearly cried as she grabbed Luffy and ran off to catch up with the other two. She didn't notice the sad look on the woman's face. Inside the double doors the last of the appeals was finishing up and Robin took her seat next to the other girls and set Luffy down in her lap. "Pay attention Luffy we are going to have to do this later today." She told the Aipom. Luffy just looked up at her and grinned, he was always up for some cool new things.

"Yeah, I'll try to keep that in mind," Riza grumbled, though what Crenu said did make sense. If she pulled too hard the line would break and not only would she lose whatever Pokemon she had hooked, but also her lure! "Okay you two, get ready!" she called, looking to her two Pokemon. They both nodded, hopping to the ground, ready to face whatever came out of the water. Riza was vaguely aware of Crenu having a battle of his own, but she was too busy fighting with whatever she'd hooked. "Come on, Pokemon!" she grumbled, carefully reeling in the line. In reality she wanted to yank the thing as hard as she could, but Crenu's words lingered in her mind and she stayed patient, pulling it in until she could see something red splashing around in the water, fighting her every movement. "Goddammit I swear if that's a Magikarp I'm going to-" Very suddenly, the hooked Pokemon decided it would use its captor's strength against her and suddenly stopped struggling, causing for a very cartoon-style tumbling-off-the-rock-backwards fall for Riza, who landed with a thud on her rear, the rod clattering to the ground beside her. When she looked up, a small, red Pokemon was looking at her with a blank look on its face. It raised up its pincers and snapped them a few times, scuttling forward on its little legs. "...okay," Riza said, blinking a few times. The little crab was kind of cute, but Riza really had no idea what it was she was looking at, so she scrambled to her feet and pulled out her Pokedex to scan it.
"It's a Corphish," she said, glancing over its entry. "The ruffian Pokemon? It says here that it's hardy vitality enables it to adapt to any environment, and that its pincers will never release it's prey. I like it," she said with a devilish smirk, pointing at the Corphish. "Okay Ralts, you're up first! Use double team to surround it, and then we'll start attacking!"
Ralts nodded and stepped forward, her little body flickering a little before she split into many different little ralts, all looking at the Corphish intently. The crab, however, just tilted its head a little and clacked its pincers together and seemed to draw its body in a little closer, a red gleam overcoming its shell. With another snap of its claws it beckoned for Ralts to attack first, clearly not worried in the slightest.

At first, Surge said nothing. He only closed his eyes and gently rubbed Raichu's cheeks, the action being met with a happy sigh and several loud, crackling bolts of static from the mouse - it was always nice to relax after a tense battle, especially after one had nearly been roasted in the process. Moments later the mouse had fallen asleep and Surge recalled him into his Pokeball for a well-deserved rest before he turned on a heel and headed towards his office, beckoning for the boy to follow him. Once they were inside he closed the door behind them and he strode over to his desk, the television still muted in the background. The large man sighed before he clicked it off, though he did not sit down. Instead he walked along the back wall, looking up at the many framed and unframed photographs that were hung there.
He paced the length of the wall a few times, letting the silence grow to an almost unbearable level before he stopped in front of a photo with a much-younger looking him wearing the familiar silver lightning pendant, and next to him, her arm linked with his, was a beautiful young woman with long, flowing golden-yellow hair, looking up at Surge with a loving gaze. The woman could have easily been an older version of her daughter, though there were some vast differences, and Surge cleared his throat, not turning around to face the boy even as he started to speak. "I git what yer sayin', there. An' I do understand, at least to a point. We've all done things we ain't proud of, but hey. What's done is done, an' there ain't no sense in cryin' over it after the fact." He paused for a moment, moving along the wall a few paces before stopping again, a wistful smirk on his face as he studied an old, wrinkled photo again of himself and a few other guys, all of whom were grinning stupidly at the camera. If one looked closely enough, a younger looking Wattson could be seen in the photo as well. "Yeah, I did some real nasty things in my time. Some during the war, some when my alliances where... elsewhere. But regardless, it's stuff I won't repeat to nobody." He closed his eyes and sighed deeply before turning to face Mike. "If yer lookin' for sympathy, y'ain't getting it from me, that's for sure." It looked like he wanted to say more, but for the time being he didn't, so instead he just paused, waiting to see if Mike had anything to say at this point.
=-=-=-=-=
Combusken flailed and shuddered from the Snorlax's so-called 'attack', a look of utter repulsion clear on her face. She furiously tried to wipe the slobber from her feathers, growling angrily. "He's right there, Combusken! Use your Double Kick! Show him that size isn't everything!" Combusken gave a little salute before she jumped at the Snorlax, preparing to smash its head into oblivion with her powerful legs.
Meanwhile, a frightened yelp escaped the Mightyena as suddenly it felt the force of nearly two-hundred pounds of Sealeo ramming right into its chest. The canine was knocked to the ground and he rolled a bit before coming to a stop, but he wasn't finished yet. On his trainer's command, the canine dashed forward, fangs bared once more as he prepared for another vicious Bite attack.
=-=-=-=-=
Shocker frowned at the Raticate as it dashed towards her, gnashing its teeth. She didn't have time for this! The Raichu jumped up and did a bit of a twirl before her tail began to glow with a steely shimmer, and she brought it down hard on the Raticate's head, watching with satisfaction as the force sent the rat tumbling back to land at the Rocket's feet. Shocker flared a few sparks, daring the rat to get back up again, which it did.
"Don't let that overgrown Pikachu show you up, Raticate! Get in there and use Crunch on it, now!"
Shocker's ear twitched slightly, and she growled. Overgrown Pikachu, eh? Bolts of static coursed over the Raichu's body before she gathered it together and loosed a semi-powerful Thundershock at the Raticate, not wanting to overdo it. The rat screeched and flopped to the ground, twitching a bit before it shook off the jolt, eyes now wide with fear. It had no intentions whatsoever to get near the Raichu again.

Aidan groaned as Jun came to sit across from him. He thanked whatever god there was that he was almost done with his helping of the breakfast. "Crepes?" He asked looking at the man across from him. Just then he caught sight of him stealing some of the whipped cream. "Hey! You can't do that! If you want some I will get some for you!" He sighed just then. "Never mind. Duskull just give Jun your whip cream." He muttered.
Grabbing a different bowl containing a much thinner batter he pored it on the griddle. While it was cooking he grabbed a bowl containing freshly cut strawberries, banana's, and a bottle with chocolate in it. Flipping the thin sheet of batter he quickly set to making Jun's breakfast. Just because he didn't like Jun didn't mean he would make his food any worse. With quick and precise movements he drizzled some chocolate down, then added a layer of strawberries and banana's, last but not least he put some more of the fresh creme down and covered it with chocolate. Finishing up he placed it on a plate and handed it over to Jun. "Don't complain next time." He muttered before looking to see if he had any orders. There didn't seem to be anymore. So using the last of his batter he made breakfast for each of his pokemon and put it in a plate and took it into the back, the cute little Duskull following him.
Placing each plate down on the floor he reached behind his back and pulled out Skorupi and Gible's pokeballs and released the two. Both of his pokemon appeared in a flash and looked up at him with wide eyes. They were in a strange area they had never seen before, there was also some strange small thing floating around and putting creame on there pancakes. Seeing his pokemon's confusion Aidan just sighed and pulled a crate up and sat down on it. "Eat up and I will tell you over breakfast." His two faithful companions did just that and Aidan explained that the floating thing was a Duskull and it was there new partner. The two other pokemon seemed to take it in stride when there trainer explained.

Alice felt a cold chill in her spine as the very skinny boy was yelling at her inaudibly. His arms flew about him as he talked, she figured he was also trying to throw gang signs.
"Alright ho, we be fightin' now yo!" He tossed his pokeball, "Put her in her damn place Destroyer!" Alice gripped her bag nervously, this couldn't be good.
The ball landed and out popped a Metapod. Alice's face turned red, she was keeping from laughing. "Alright Kadaj, I need you to back me up again!" Kadaj jumped in front of the Metapod a growled.
"Kay Meta! Show these bitches how much of a man yo are! Harden!"
The stagnant pokemon began to shake slightly and then a translucent veil draped over it. Alice and Kadaj just sat there a little confused.
"Well then... Kadaj, use tackle!" Kadaj yipped and ran over to the Metapod, using all his strength he leaped and rammed his little body into the pokemon. Unfortunately, it didn't do as much as they hoped.
"Damn right b***h! That's how a man works yo! We get harder! Harden!"
The pokemon flung itself back up, another veil engulfed the pokemon. Alice was scratching the back of her head.
"Damn, this will take longer than I though! Well then, Tail Whip Kadaj."
Kadaj turned around and flung his large bushy tail in the air. He whipped it back and forth in front of the Metapod. It's veils of protection faded from it. How this process works, Alice never knew.
"What do yo think yo doin' yo!" the boy shrieked and stopped his floor on the ground in a tantrum. "Harden yo!"
The pokemon obeyed again and proceed to cover itself in a new veil.
Alice gave a slight giggle, "Kadaj, use Tail Whip again!"
Kadaj whipped his cute bushy tail in the air again and swayed it back and forth causing the Metapod to drop it's defenses even more. The boy shrieked and cried out from frustration, "Augh! Harden!! Don't go limp!"
The pokemon started to shake again but began to turn a little red and a bit of steam shot up from it's head. Harden had failed.
"We are getting there Kadaj! Tail Whip one more time!"
He resumed the position and swished his tail to cause the Metapod to drop it's defenses even more.
The boy shrieked again, "HARDEN HARDEN HARDEN!" The pokemon started up it's routine shaking.
"Kadaj! tackle!"
Kadaj charged at the pokemon, he put all his strength into ramming into the Metapod. He knocked it back as the pokemon was covering itself in it's veil. He severely damaged it, leaving it with a little life.
"Oh! Ah! Noooo!" The boy cried out, he puled at his now sweaty tank top. "Harden!"
The pokemon started shaking again and covered itself in a defensive veil again.
"Tackle!"
Kadaj ran and slammed itself into the Metapod knocking it out. Alice jumped into the air cheering. "Yay! We did it again!" Kadaj jumped into her arms and yipped happily.
"Aw, what da ******** yo! No one should able to beat Destroyer yo!" He picked up his pokemon and began to cry, "Yo a big meanie head!" and ran off. Alice was a little confused by his behavior but turned around and walked back into the pokemon center. "What a strange day this has been..."

On the big screen that floated above the arena the winners of the appeal round appeared on the screen. There were ten in all and they would be doing appeal battles now. First up was Sam and his Raticate that was up against Carla's Arbok. Robin had never seen either of the pokemon and quickly scanned them in her pokedex. Both of the pokemon were released from there pokeballs in a fantastic manor, Robin and Luffy would have to think of their own way to enter.
The match started with just two minutes on the clock. Sam's Raticate started off with a fantastic and beautiful looking Flame Wheel. The crowd ohhed and ahhed at the sight and the Arboks points went down. The Cobra pokemon used its long serpentine body to dodge the attack with a flourish and counted with Glare. The eyes on its hood glowed in a stunning display that caused the Raticate to pause for a second but it started to move again the paralysis not setting in. It wasn't in vain though the attack had been beautifully performed and the Raticate's points dived a bit. The counter was going down steadily and the match was almost over. The points were tied and it all came down to who preformed there last move. It turned out it was the Raticate. The speedy rat managed to pull it off with an astounding Hyper Fang attack. The bell rang just as the attack landed and the points fell on the Arboks half.
"Sam and Raticate move on to the next round!" Came the announcement through the arena.
During the whole battle Robin and Luffy watched with wide eyes. Oh wow these attacks were so wonderful! They would have to work on there attacks through the whole trip to Cerulean City. Robin didn't think they would win the contest but she was pretty sure that they would do pretty good. After all Luffy and her were a great team. "That sure was great wasn't it Luffy?" Luffy just grinned up at her and nodded.
"All right lets go to the next battle! In the left corner we have Tommy and his Butterfree! In the right corner its Sally and her Dewgong!"
Once again the two pokemon appeared in a flash and sparkles. Both of the pokemon were beautiful and Robin couldn't help but feel a little in envy at them. Sure she loved her pokemon but she would really love something pretty to play with to... During her thoughts she had missed out on some of the contest. She started paying attention again as the Dewgong fired off a Aurora beam at the Butterfree. The bug pokemon did a pirouette in the air and avoided the attack. Still the beam had held such a beauty that the Butterfree's points went down. The butterfly pokemon started batting its wings at a rapid pace and a pretty Silver Wind blew towards the seal pokemon. The Dewgong wasn't going to just take it though, and suddenly a beautiful ring of water surrounded the Dewgong blocking a lot of the damage. Just as the attack hit the bell rang and the points were still going down. The arena was silent as they finished settling down, in the end the Dewgongs points were just a bit higher and Sally was moving on.

Mike speechlessly blinked at Surge's...advice. He had expected some long-winded lament about his war days that would lead into some sagely advice, or even some spiritual saying, a cryptic musing, a fortune cookie snippet, anything! "That's...it?" replied the boy after staring at the Gym Leader in bewilderment for a moment. "If...you're looking for sympathy," he repeated, mostly to himself. "You...ain't getting it...from me, that's for sure?" He let out a short 'ha', his mouth open into a sort of astonished smile. He couldn't believe it. "So let me get this straight. I come here, figuring 'Who else better to help me through something like this than my best friend's father, a war hero?', best you in a Gym match, bear my soul to you, and all you got is a...haha, wow." It's a wonder that Kasiya turned out to be so, well, like her. Her mother must have done all the morality lessons.
"Ha-hahaha!" laughed the boy again, mostly at himself. "BOY did I make a mistake coming here. I mean, here I am, at the very lowest point of my life, abandoned by nearly all of my friends, left by the girl I spent the last twelve years, TWELVE!...years keeping the world from crashing down on her and what do I do? I manage to do exactly what I tried to prevent. And now she's gone. Ha-ha-hahaha!" Mike turned around, not even bothering to wave or anything. "Whatever, thanks for the Thunder Badge. I guess I'll just have to go be crazy somewhere else."
At least you won't be alone.

Jun grinned wolfishly at Aidan's annoyance. It didn't bother his sliver of a conscience that he was making the fellow's life more difficult that it already must be. The man was content so long as he was not ignored, for nonchalance at his ferosh persona was definitely not allowable. So it didn't matter to him /too/ much whether it was love or hate, so long as he got inside o' him.
In short, Jun was an incorrigible attention whore.
"I'll try not to," he replied cheekily, sitting down to bother his crepes some. The first bite sent him to culinary heaven. Oh, my, OH MY, Jun mused, eyes closing in bliss. Shame he couldn't eat too much of the stuff, it'd go straight to his hips. Well, Jun thought, he must give credit where credit is due. His brilliant green eyes snapped open, locking on on the retreating (oh-so-fine) back of his self-proclaimed friend before calling, "You must be my chef one day, Aidan boy!" Typical of Jun to be arrogant even while complimenting others. He was serious, however, about the cook idea; he was going to build a salon one day that could attend to beauty to all five senses, and taste was one of them. The young man had just arbitrarily chosen his head chef. If Jun had become a thorn in Aidan's side, it didn't look like he'd cease anytime soon. Beside, Jun rather liked his victim; it was cute and was too nice to hold a grudge, which made for ever-lasting play time. A shame that he didn't seem very bright or witty, but his hard-to-getness could give Jun a challenge he wanted to try.
Rosaline returned from the greenhouse now, smelling even lovelier than she did before. She crinkled her nose, however, at the smell of food; that stuff was inorganic ick, and didn't appeal to the flower at all. Sighing, she alerted a cheerful Jun she had come back before recalling herself to her own Pokeball. Standing around and looking gorgeous got rather boring at times. Ah, the life of a beauty. So, /so/ drearily monotonous. Maybe she'd have Jun trim her later, it was always lovely to freshen up.
While daintily finishing his crepes (Jun actually ended up smearing off all the whipped cream to the side of his plate, since that stuff was really fattening), the young man had the chance to people-watch quietly, as Aidan had left and that left him no one to pester. My b***h-radar is flashing red, he thought with a smile, meeting the new girl's gaze evenly. He did like bitches, the whole self-serving lot of them. They were so, so interesting, if not wholesome. Plus, no fear of commitment, 'coz they obviously didn't plan to commit to you in any way. Bitches meant no-strings attached good times, and someone to talk s**t on when things turned south.
Noting her seductive little wink, Jun's grin only grew wider. Oh, maybe he could play too. He did feel obliged to be a little nice to nice people, like Aidan and Jenny and Alice, but inversely that meant he loved to be a b***h to bitches. No restraints! And so, very inconspicuously, he mussed up his faux-hawk in his spoon's reflection (it nearly killed him to do so), took off his designer rims, rolled up his sleeves haphazardly, and tied his white dress shirt up a button to hide his satin undershirt, although he left one button open (since buttoning all the way up was a no-no for anybody except businessmen). Looked legitimately dashing, if he dared say so himself, if not a bit unkempt. And so he strutted over there, arrogance not lost in his act.
"Hey, /beautiful/," Jun said, having the audacity to sit down across from her at the two-person table. Without his black-framed glasses, he seemed less like a diva, but there was no denying he still had a pretty face. "What's something /like you/ doing in family-friendly Hearthome?" Jun asked, forcing his eyes to slide down her body before back up to her face.
Noting a bit of whipped cream on her lip, Jun smiled deviously. "Let me get that for you, Ms.... What might be your name?" he said, taking a white napkin, leaning over the table, and smearing the cream away. Took a bit of her lipstick or lip gloss, whatever it was, off too, but he pretended not to be disgusted. Why men kissed the sticky s**t was beyond him. He lingered over the table for just a moment, face half a foot from hers, before sitting himself back down like a proper gentleman, grinning like a jackal. It'd be fun to win this game, but if this girl won, then she was definitely someone interesting.

All the lumbering Snorlax could do was close its eyes and brace for impact as not one, but two fierce kicks were landed to its forehead, and suddenly both hands were up, trying to protect itself from further harm. "Laaacksss!" it groaned, staggering back and frowning at Combusken, obviously not liking the little Pokemon. First, she avoided his pancake-attack and now she was kicking him in the face.
"Use your Belly Drum, Snorlax! Then it's time to rest up!" the trainer shouted. The Snorlax let out a gaping yawn, pounding on its belly with its massive paws. The actions seemed to be somewhat painful to it though, and it groaned a bit before slamming its fist into its palm, letting everyone know that the next time he hit something, it was gonna leave a mark.
Again Shiva felt the sting of the Mightyena's teeth tearing at her skin and she barked sharply, prompting Keegan to frown. There had to be something he could do to stop the Snorlax from using Rest next turn. And then, the redhead smiled, knowing just what to do. "Shiva, use Encore!" he laughed, clapping his hands together. Shiva did the same thing, clapping her flippers appreciatively, a spotlight suddenly shining down on the Snorlax. "Now's your chance, Jae. Have Combusken lay the smack down on that thing!"

"All right I hope you all are ready for this next match! Lets welcome our next contestants! In the left corner we have Millie and her Bayleef! In the right corner is Danny with his Farfetche'd!" The two trainers walked out waving and released their pokemon each in an equally impressive manor.
The Farfetche'd started out the battle with an impressive looking Swords Dance. The duck like pokemon used its leek like a sword and swished it around in the air glowing as its attack was raised, finishing off its dance it pointed the leek at the Bayleef like it was ready to start to fence. The Bayleef didn't look impressed, suddenly a bunch of leaves showed up out of nowhere. The Magical Leaf was summoned onto the field and the leaves flew forward in a spiral towards the Farfetche'd. The duck pokemon started to wave its leek around trying to bat the leaves away. Unfortunately the leaves weren't really there and went through his blocking tactics and slammed into his body. Shaking off the attack the Fartetche'd tossed his leek in the air and caught it expertly before flying forward and using an Aerial Ace on the grass starter pokemon. The Bayleef let out a cry and stumbled back somewhat, that attack had hurt! Summoning his strength the Bayleef let out a beautiful Sunny Day Synthesis combo just as the bell rang.
"It was a close match but in the end Millie turned up the victor!"
Robin bounced Luffy in her lap and winced at the now to bright lights. In her mind she was running through all of Luffy's attacks trying to think of an attack combination they could use for the contest. Maybe something to do with Swift? That attack was pretty, well Robin thought it was anyway.
"Next we have Nami and her Masquerain and Patty with her Miltank!"
Robin had never seen a Masquerain before and she eagerly scanned it in, it was such a pretty pokemon. Robin really hoped that she could pick up a pretty pokemon soon. Still she had her own pokemon to raise still and so she really shouldn't be thinking about getting more.
The battle started with Masquerain flying up into the air, with the lights illuminating its body it let out a pretty looking Stun Spore that fell down onto the arena. Below the Miltank shivered as the spore fell down her body. The Miltank didn't seem to disturbed even though it was paralyzed now. Instead it reached up into the air and suddenly a bell appeared in the air and it a pure ringing sound floated through the arena. The pure sound seemed to cure all of the Miltanks problems. The audience seemed to like beautiful sound and both of the scores were tied. The two of the pokemon faced off the score even now and the time was almost out. Just before the buzzer went off the sweetest smelling thing that Robin and Luffy had ever smelled floated through the arena. It seems like the Masquerain had managed to preform a Sweet Sent before the buzzer went off.
"Annnnnnd it looks like Masqurain and Nami are making it to the next round!"

Oh, good, he was going to play along! She mentally laughed, catching him prep himself by the reflection of a spoon. She had to admit his 'new' look was definately a lot better than the one he wore only moments ago. She, herself, wasn't going to make any quick fixes though. She knew she looked fabulous already, no need to go overboard. Not a bad catch she thought as he walked on over, having enough nerve to even sit down. Oh-ho, this was going to be very fun.
"Sinclair, Annie Sinclair," she said in James Bond fashion, paired with a seductive smile, her red lip gloss reflecting a bit in the light of the restaurant. She took another bite of the pancakes, not afraid to eat the whipped cream. Just because she had a new guest over didn't mean she had to sacrice her good. Breakfast, after all, was the most important meal of the day. The food was good and she always had kept that slim figure of hers without much effort. Annie grinned deviously as after swallowing the small bite. "Obviously I'm having breakfast, love," she said reaching her arm over the small table. "Now, I'll ask you to return the favor. What's your name?" she asked curling her fingers under his chin for a few moments, letting her nails inch across his smooth face at an agonizing pace.

The red light on his pokeball had stopped blinking and he picked it up, shrinking it before he set it back onto his belt. Crenu watched as Riza fell over, wanting not to laugh and settled for a smirk instead. Standing in front of her was a red shellfish looking pokemon, but it wasn't like any Krabby he'd ever seen. Riza had already gotten up and had her pokedex out, spouting off the information it gave her. "Corphish? Heh, sounds like a real tough guy." Poliwhirl had come over to watch as well, interested in the little red pincered pokemon, he looked like he'd be fun to demolish. Poliwhirl pointed a hand at the Corphish, but was recalled to his pokeball before he could interfere. "Not your battle Poliwhirl, can't blame you after that last one though." Crenu watched as Riza began to battle the Corphish, starting off with an entrapping Double Team before going on the offensive. Not a bad strategy, one he'd utilize had he a Double Team using pokemon. The Corphish, however, seemed completely unphased by this and instead appeared to be passing on the offensive as well. "Doesn't look all that bright, but it didn't charge in either. I like its style." Watching the battle unfold, it hit him that she had a pokedex, something he hadn't noticed until now. "Think you can tell me what I've caught over here, when you're done of course."
******************************************************
"Ha ha! Alright old man, let's get things started! We can take whatever you got, right buddy?" Zeus simply floated around, sparks jumping from his magnets. Jason was in complete denial though, or he simply took his Magnemite's lack of emotion as a sign of excitement. Either way they were definitely ready for the battle with the day care man's pokemon, whatever the surprise was suppose to be.
"He he he, alright sonny relax. Don't need to hold back that voltage against this one, Wattson asked me to raise this one for his gym battles. He'll be happy when it gets picked up with some battle experience. Let show 'em what we can do Electrike!" The daycare man sent a pokeball into the battle field, a green dog like pokemon with yellow streaks jumping out with a mighty howl.
"Electrike huh?" Jason said as he pulled out his pokedex and scanned the pokemon.
Electrike, the Lightning Pokemon. Using electricity stored in its fur, it stimulates its muscles to heighten its reaction speed.
"An electric type, this won't be easy. Alright Zeus, let's hit 'em with a Thundershock!" Zeus spun around and unleashed a electric shock directly at the electric dog, but it didn't even try to dodge. Instead he simply took the attack and appeared to grin as he howled, reducing the shock to mere sparks.
"Heh heh heh, alright little one. Use swift!" Electrike closed his eyes as he conjured up several star shaped blades that shot up at the Magnemite at incredible speeds.

The weedle recovered from the gust attack though clearly it had been shaken. "Alright weedle use a poison sting attack" the man yelled. While Hurricane was busy trying to get the string off of its wings the weedle reared back and shot towards the unsuspecting bird.
"Hurricane watch out!" Eraku cried but it was too late and the weedle slammed right into the bird. Fortunately it looked as though the attack had merely startled the bird and did little damage. "Alright give it another gust attack!" Hurricane took off and blew yet another blast of air right towards the weedle and this time when it connected it sent to Weedle flying even farther than before. It landed with a thud and writhed on the ground in a crumpled heap.
"Ahhhh weedle!" The man cried, running over to his weedle looking at it with dismay. "Well I guess that would be expected being against a flying type. Alright Pinsir it’s your turn now!" He released another poke ball and out of this came what appeared to be an enormous beetle.

"Raticate, I said Crunch attack!" the grunt shouted, shaking his fist at his Pokemon. The Raticate, a few bits of static coursing over its body, growled a bit before deciding to obey. A trail of white light streamed out from behind it as it was suddenly standing right beside Shocker, sinking its long fangs into her plushy side. Shocker grit her teeth but refused to cry out, and instead raised her fist up high, letting out a sharp growl as she slammed the rat square between the shoulder blades with the strongest Brick Break she could muster. The rat crumpled to the ground with a little squeak, much to the anger and dismay of the Rocket.
Shocker relaxed a little as her opponent fell and then was promptly withdrawn, and she smirked up at the ugly man with defiance. That'd teach him mess with her. The man just growled and threw a second Pokeball, causing the Raichu's ears to droop in disappointment. She got into a battle stance as the floating ball of gas - a Koffing - appeared in front of her. Here we go again, she thought glumly, just wanting to be out of here.
=-=-=-=-=
Encore? Jaeshan blinked a few times, not really sure what that move even did, but the Snorlax seemed to be a bit confused by it so Jaeshan decided to go with Keegan's advice. "Okay Combusken, Brick Break! Let's go!" Combusken seemed to be glad to oblige and she fearlessly rushed at the Snorlax again, leaping up and driving both fists into its stomach, followed by a fierce kick. The fighter landed, smirking at her opponent before looking over at Shiva. Battling with the Sealeo was fun!
"Keep at it, Mightyena!" the other trainer shouted. "Go after the chicken this time! Tackle it, keep it from going after Snorlax!" The canine let out a yip and dashed at Combusken, throwing his shoulder into her side and sending them both to the ground for a tumble.
=-=-=-=-=
Surge narrowed his eyes at the retreating boy's back, his meaty hands balling into tight fists at his sides. He didn't make a sound as he quickly strode across the floor, moving more quickly and stealthily than one would expect from a man of his size. In one swift, single motion he grabbed Mike by the collar of his shirt and spun him around before dragging him back into his office where he practically threw the boy into his desk chair and slammed the door behind them. "DON'T YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME, BOY," he bellowed, his voice reverberating through the gym. "You and me, boy, we ain't the same. Y'see, when I signed up for the war - when all those guys signed up for the war, regardless of what side they were on, they knew what they were getting into. War means death and destruction, and each and every one of us knew that the moment we picked up our guns." He paused, his voice quaking a little. "Don't expect it to be easy, either. Living with the guilt from yer actions? Well I'll tell you this right now, kiddo, it doesn't matter what you do with yer life, but yer always, that's right, ALWAYS going to feel the sting of the guilt in yer guts. Yer always gonna feel like s**t, no matter how you try to make up for it." The rage in the man's voice subsided slowly, and he turned to look Mike in the eye again. "I will tell you this though. It will get easier with time. It will be easier to deal with, but not anytime soon." His words were still somewhat harsh, but his tone was far from it. It was caring; understanding even." He turned to study the photos on the wall again, a habit that seemed to border a little on the neurotic side. "An' one more thing: until you can forgive yourself for what you've done, don't you dare ask forgiveness from anyone else."

Riza didn't like the way the Corphish was just standing there, looking at her and Ralts with an unimpressed expression. Its pincers snapped together a few times and it raised up a claw, pointing it at the closest copy of Ralts before firing off what appeared to be a small burst of bubbles. They collided with the fake Pokemon and caused it to vanish.
"Okay Ralts, let's use your swift attack," Riza commanded, pointing at the Corphish. Ralts nodded, all her copies doing the same before she spun around and raised her hand, a small cluster of sparkling golden stars shooting out towards the crab. Each one hit its mark, as they should, but it did little to phase the Corphish, who seemed to be grinning. It was suddenly charging forward, claws outstretched, and it caught the real Ralts in a tight grip, having noticed that the swift stars had only come from one of the Pokemon surrounding it.
"That must be vice grip?" Riza questioned, scanning over the moves in her Pokedex. "Don't let that stop you, Ralts! Use your confusion on it!" Ralts couldn't maintain concentration on her doubles and they all winked out of existence at once. Ralts growled and closed her eyes, a bright green burst of psychic power engulfing both her and the Corphish. "Hang in there, we'll take it down!" Riza encouraged, already looking around in her bag for an empty pokeball. When she heard Crenu's question she simply nodded before turning back to her battle. 'I want this Pokemon!' she thought excitedly.
