Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Sure, why not?" Jaeshan shrugged, having a sip of his cocoa. The warm chocolately goodness seemed to settle right into him, warming him to the bone. "Show us how it's done, eh?" He then looked to Ryka. "That is, if you don't mind either, of course." He had a sneaking suspicion that Kilik didn't really want him going to the gym with him, but Ryka would be welcome company. "We, that is, I can wait here if you'd prefer that," Jaeshan offered. "If you don't want an audience, I don't mind at all."

"You're welcome," Kasiya grinned, helping herself to more of the candy. "They're my favourite." She ate a few more, looking out the window and thinking of an answer. "I don't really know what to do next," she admitted. "I should head to Fuschia City to challenge Master Koga to a gym battle, but I feel like exploring and catching a few new Pokemon too," she said, thinking about the Absol she'd seen in the gym. It was quick, and hit hard too. She smiled to herself, wondering where she'd be able to find and capture one.

At the very least he was warm, the cold air was no match for Nitro's natural heat. His flaming tail flickered in the night, a soft glow the only thing to push back the now pitch black darkness. "There it is." An outside light of the Pokemon Center had just flickered on as they always did this late at night.

Nitro circled around and descended softly, trying to be as quiet as he could. Mike hopped off his Pokemon, "You know, you're getting better at this every time we fly." He smiled as he recalled his Charizard.

Brushing the hair from his eyes, he walked into the Pokemon Center.

"Hey!" Kasiya laughed, as her candy was swiped. She shrugged, thinking it over a bit more. "That Pokemon that Nina's Pokemon were fighting in the gym. Not the Tyranitar, but the other one. I don't know what it's called, but it was powerful and fast, too." She thought back to the Aerial Aces she'd seen it launch, a chill traveling down her spine. "I'm definitely getting one of those." As a second thought, she reached over and pulled her bag closer, digging around until she came up with her PokeDex. She flipped it open, and started searching through its many entries.

Kilik stood up, quickly gulping down the rest of his hot cocoa. He felt his tongue burn slightly. "Michelangelo!" he laughed, approaching him. Flareon had paused its playtime with Espeon. He looked past him at the outside. "Rain's coming down pretty hard," he nodded. Kilik smirked and patted Mike on the shoulder. "So, let's get down to buisness, shall we, Mike?"

"Hello Kilik!" he spoke in a cheerful tone, happy to see his friend again. "Alright, let's." Mike was hit by a sudden deja vu, a feeling that occured very often in Pokemon Centers. The trade machine stood lonely in the corner, seldom being used. He unclipped Beacon's Pokeball, a goofy smile snuck up on him. "Let's get this show on the road!" He placed the ball in the red slot, pressing the ready button.

Oh great. I got out of one shell and now I'm in another? What is this?

The usual beeps and boops were made from the dusty machine, Mike dusting a bit with his sleeve. The icons of Beacon and Kilik's Scyther flashed across the screen as the Pokeballs were dropped out of the opposite tubes. Reaching out to grab the Scyther, the ball erupted, causing Mike to flail and fall on his butt.

A rather spooky looking Scyther was released as it slashed around, obviously not to keen on being kept in confinement. A slightly confused look came over her as the Pokemon shown a beautiful white color. Its scythes split and merged into pincer like appendages, the overall frame of it growing bulkier and heavier. Soon the transformation ceased, a brilliant looking Scizor standing before the two boys.
