Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Trainer outfit: Blue))

After a bit of training on Route 102, Blue decided to head over to Petalburg City to book a hotel room, as sky was growing considerably darker over Hoenn. He entered the center and had Nurse Joy heal his pokemon. He then booked a room and walked outside to see what Petalburg had to offer.

Soon after, Marshtomp elbowed Blue on the leg and pointed to a familiar trainer, it was the kid who stole the egg. "Wahh!" Blue was startled, "What's he doing here? Where'd the egg go?" Marshtomp shrugged his shoulders, expressing that he had no idea, he then patted Blue on the back, urging him to confront the boy. "I can't do that now, we're in the middle of a town, it would attract too much attention. I'd definitely get caught."

He ran over to the boy with the Ralts and spoke, "Wow," Blue began with an astonished look upon his face, "is that a shiny Ralts?! How cool, I don't think I've ever seen a shiny pokemon before!"

yarin took a break of traning. He went to Route 103 again, but this time he saw a trainer sleeping. yarin quickly screamed from far away:

"Hey!!! what are you doing this time of night sleeping hire?, lets go, all take you to the pokemon center".

yarin look closely to look at the trainer and it was the same trainer with the Treecko and Wurmpule.

yarin seed: " WAKE UP!!!!!!!".

"Ahh!" Remus jumped to his feet after being awoken from his nap. Treecko jumped down from the tree and scoped the area cautiously for possible attackers. Squinting, Remus could make out the shadow of the same guy who had been watching them earlier. After recalling Wurmple, Remus spoke out, "Who are you!?"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Remus. Well earlier I came here to watch the sunset, but I must have fallen asleep," Remus gave a laugh, "Anyways, what are you doing here this late at night?" Remus gave a look up to the moon, "The night time pokemon should be out right now, you've got to be careful."

Remus nodded at Yarin, "Sweet! So is Piplup your new pokemon, or is it someone else?"

"Oh cool! Surskit is pretty cute. I've got a bug type pokemon too, its a Wurmple. I think you've met her already though." Remus laughed, remembering when he found Yarin staring at his pokemon while training. "Well I'm sorry to leave after just having met, but its getting late. I should probably get going." Remus shook his new friend's hand and the began running back to the pokecenter for a good night's rest.

Remus was almost back at Oldale Town when a single purple flame slowly floated in the direction of him. Treecko froze in his tracks, shaking out of fear. Wurmple shoved her head into Remus's shirt to hide herself. "W-what is this?" Remus asked. The flame was now at arms length from Remus and began to circle eirily around him. Remus and Treecko turned, following it with their eyes. Suddenly, once their backs were turned to the direction the flame came from, something hit Treecko hard in the back.

"Duskull!" The pokemon shouted as it used astonish. Now knowing that the flame came from the Duskull, Remus knew it must be a Will-O-Wisp attack, "Treecko, look out!" But it was too late, Duskull propelled the flame in Treecko's direction, leaving him burned with his attack power halved. Remus shouted at his Treecko, telling him to run, but they didn't make it far before the Duskull attacked with Mean Look, preventing escape. Treecko now had to finish the battle on his own, with nothing but physical attacks, whose powers were halved.

"Treecko, use Bullet Seed!" Treecko opened his mouth, letting loose a considerably smaller than usual fury of pointed seeds at the Duskull. Duskull quickly reacted by taking form of a shadow on the ground, speeding towards Treecko. He then rose from the shadow and punched Treecko in the face. This was his Shadow Sneak attack. Treecko stumbled and fell backwards, Duskull then followed up with another Astonish, knocking Treecko out.

At this point, Remus didn't know what he could do to get out of this mess, when suddenly Wurmple kicked herself off of his shoulder, lunging at Duskull with a super effective Bug Bite. "Good job, Wurmple, we can do this," Remus said encouragingly as Duskull temporarily lost his balance. "Now String Shot so he can't use another Shadow Sneak! Then follow up with Poison Sting!" Wurmple quickly tied Duskull up with a thick silk thread. She then proceeded to shoot a fury of poisonous needles at Duskull from the pincers at the back of her tail. Duskull tried to break free, but failed. "Alright Wurmple, you can do this! Wrap things up with Bug Bite!" Wurmple smiled excitedly as she lunged herself at Duskull, knocking him out with a Bug Bite.

Wurmple jumped up at down, excited at her first win. Then, she bagan to glow, and slowly she transformed into a purple, oval shaped caccoon. "Cascoon," she shouted excitedly bouncing in place. "Nice job! I'm so proud of you!" Remus congradulated his newly evolved Cascoon and then hurried to the pokecenter for some healing and some sleep.

Robert Gallifrey
Petalburg City

Robert sat on the edge of his bed after having a nice, hearty supper with his parents. Robert's Teddiursa sat upon his lap as his Eevee, Torchic and Ralts sat around him on the bed. "So, how does Sasha sound?" Robert asked the Teddiursa. The little bear smiled brightly.

"Ursa!" she friendly chirped. Robert's Eevee began to sniff at Robert's backpack, smelling something different.

Reaching into the bag, Robert removed the water stone. "I still can't believe it. It didn't look real, but I'm certain that was Suicune I saw. But if it was, why is it in Hoenn?" Robert asked himself. He then looked at his Eevee, which had turned it's attention to the stone, sniffing at it.

"You know, you've always loved jumping in puddles and swimming. This stone will evolve you into a Vaporeon. Then you can enjoy the water all you want." Robert commented.

Sapphire blinked a bit, and after about a minute of mulling it over in her head, she touched her nose to the stone. The energy from the stone flowed into Sapphire and began to transform her. Her body began to glow white as it changed shape. When the light faded, Sapphire's new form was revealed as a glistening Vaporeon.

"Alright folks, let's get some sleep. Tomorrow we head out towards Rustburough City. I know we have Norman here, but he's one really tough gym leader. We'll need to get stronger before we challenge him." Robert spoke. Slipping himself under the bedcovers, Robert turned out the light and fell asleep, while his pokemon curled up with and around him on the bed.
