Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Alright then, Go Electivire!" Cole shouted releasing the electric Pokemon "Alright Electivire use fire punch also, watch out for it's tail!" Cole ordered, Electivire ran towards Delta Rayquaza and hit it with the Fire Punch, the Delta Pokemon lashed out it's tail at Electivire, the electric Pokemon jumped and managed to avoid the tail and hit Delta Rayquaza with another fire punch.

Taking the bowl and spoon, Kalina gratefully ate her stew, while her Pokemon all began to eat as well. As a big smile arose on her face, Kalina told him "This is really nice. And I think I'm enjoying it even more on the count of both my normal side and the Gardevoir genetics within me." After finishing, she handed Robert back the bowl, saying "Thank you ever so much. I really need to make it up to you somehow." As all her Pokemon finished eating as well, she returned all but Galaxia, who remained sitting on her lap. "So, asides from saving the universe and taking on Poketopia, I haven't really done much on this planet" she admitted, looking at her Clefable. "To be honest, I'm surprised that people haven't been chasing me down. I mean, I encountered Hunter J before I met FaunaSpike, and the only reason I got her in the first place was because I set all the Pokemon that she had taken at that point free. The poor little girl didn't have a trainer, so she decided to stay with me. But I couldn't have done it without Galaxia's help. She was great at that point."

Robert smiled. "Well, count it as a blessing no one is after you. At least that we know of. That just means you'll be able to live a normal life here. And once we get back to Kanto, I'll show you the contests I enter in." he spoke with a smile. "Contests are much more complicated than gym battles. In gym battles, your goal is simply to beat the gym leader. but contests are much different. There are two rounds in a contest. The first is the appeals round, where you show off your pokemon and thier abilities in a way that displays beauty, control and appeal in general. The trainers with the highest scores move onto the battle round. Each battle has a five minute time limit. There are three ways to win. The first is to simply KO the opponent's pokemon. The second is to reduce the opponent's points to zero. Points are reduced whenever a pokemon takes damage or when a pokemon's attack is countered or avoided. The more flashy the counter, the more points are reduced from the opponent. The third way to win is to have more points on the board than your opponent. At the end of athe contest, the winner recieves a ribbon. A coordinator with five ribbons can then compete in the Grand Festival of that region for the chance to win the title of Top Coordinator." he spoke.

"Yes, I should be counting my blessings" Kalina admitted, grooming her Clefable with a smile. When she heard about the contests, she said "That sounds so wonderful. I think I should definitely enter the contests. I think we'd do great in them, isn't that right Galaxia?"

"Yes my lady, we would do well in contests" Galaxia laughed, getting up and preparing herself. She then fired a Magical Leaf attack into the air, just as a way to let off some excess energy.

"That's the spirit" Kalina laughed. "Oh, Robert, that's something I want to ask about contests. I heard some people on the boat talking about how some contests require the trainer to dress themselves in a beautiful way. Will I have to do that? Then again, even if I did, I'm sure every male would pay attention more to how beautiful I look rather than how I look in contest clothing." She realised she may have sounded slightly vain at this point, so she told him "Not that I can help it. It's natural among our kind to be more beautiful than most other species."

Electivire was hit by the Earth Power and managed to stand up again [Now that...was painful] Electivire said, the electric Pokemon was angry now and ran towards Rayquaza and used a Fire Punch and followed up with a Cross Chop.

Rayqauza wasn't going to be hit like that again, it launched a Protect attack, keeping it from being hit.

"Try this then!"Blue used a Mud Slap, and Rayquaza used Protect again."This is dumb, Its going to keep protecting!"Blue said."What are we going to do?"Blue asked Cole.

"Oh..." Kalina sighed, after hearing that she'd have to go up against Robert if she began competing in contests. Shaking her head, she told him "I'd never be able to raise an attack against any of your Pokemon, even if it were the final round of the Grand Festival. You're just too important to me. I could never compete against you, I just couldn't." Looking up towards the sky, she spoke "I wonder when the stars will come out. They're so beautiful, but they make me fall asleep. It's because I've always felt safe and secure under the stars."

"How very odd, where did he go?" Cole asked.

Electivire continued to unleash Fire Punch after Fire Punch trying to get through Rayquaza Protects, it hadn't even seemed to notice that Blue had disappeared.
