Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryan stops and turns his head back towards Night. "Alright, then i guess my timing was a tad off then." he says. Then he smiles and shoot Night a wink. "maybe being such an expert you could teach me to how to have better timing." he says playfully.

"Afraid it can't be taught," Night said, grinning before glancing at Hawk at the unusual question, "Just a special skill that takes self-practice. Now as to your question, uh Hawk was it? Can't speak for the Turkey over here, but I was not born this way. To save you a long, and possibly very boring, story. Basically, my human body was combined with that of one of my own pokemon. Very painful process.

"Now, back to you," She then returned her attention to Ryan and gave him a slightly quizzical look, "So, mind if I ask what caused the beauty marks on your back?"

Ryan smiles, but when Night asks the second question, it fades. he then lets out a deep sigh. " Wound I got saving a friend and her pokemon twelve years ago from a rampaging Ursaring on my way home from Jhoto." Ryan explains.

"I'll do you one worse. Run into an Ursaring and have one of her Teddiursa behind you." Sol added. "Your survival would be nothing short of a miracle."

"Rather deal with the Ursaring than a hive of pissed off Beedrill," Night said to Sol with a slight groan, "Or worse...stuck in water with a few Sharpedo wanting to chew your feet off...."

"Though," she turned back to Ryan and glanced over his scars once again, "It is a surprise you were able to escape a pissed Ursaring with little more than a few scratches."

"Light on your feet nothing," Night said, shaking her head with a small laugh, "You'd have to be a damn ballerina to avoid that bear's claws like that. Something you care to tell us, Danseur?"

"Careful there Dan, if might look like glass but it's actually an extremely hard combination of Light Clay and Metal Powder, mixed in with the glass making it extremely tough, see-through, and keeps the gem's energy within, without it this thing could overcharge the place and send it bursting into flames." Sub said to Dan as he went over to the cylinder that the gem was floating in and began to push away at some buttons on the machine that the cylinder sat on.

"And open sesame!" Sub shouted as the glass cylinder began to slowly raise up with a hiss, rising up into the ceiling, disappearing from sight as metal supports rose up from the machine below, holding the gem up. Now that the gem was out in the open the two trainers might feel their hair standing on its ends and if they were to touch any metal object in the room they would get shocked as the gem pulsated with energy. "Think Shark can pick it up?"
