Welcome to Gaia! ::

However, Tommy was nowhere in sight, and Memo kept going. Tommy had finally perfected the technique, and appeared on the other side of the sand wall, where Memo had been. What had happened? Tommy would confess if asked. Otherwise, nada. Tommy charged up a Dynamic Punch, and aimed at an unknowing Memo's back. However, Tommy had a feeling that Memo would catch on quickly. Contrary to the however, it was extremly, next to impossibly hard to dodge in mid-air, and Tommy hoped to use this moment to his advantage.

Tommy saw the bending of Memo's foot, and a look of chagrin took place on his face. He would have to take the hit. However, a hit on Memo could be decisive. Tommy's chagrin turned to a sudden grin. Tommy simply feinted forward, and easily dodged the kick. Suddenly, Tommy was under Memo. "Take my Dynamic Uppercut! RAHHHHHH!" Tommy sent his Dynamic Punch into an uppercutting arc that landed squarely under Memo's chin, sending him skywards. However, a large bruise appeared on Tommy's arm shortly after the quick and violent flurry of kicks, dodges, and punches. It seemed Tommy had had to lightly parry the kick to fully take advantage. His breathing sped up, and Tommy gripped his arm tenderly.

Memo should have started to begin to feel dizzy by then, seeing as he had taken the Dynamic Punch to the chin. This was the pokemon move of destructive force, Dynamic Punch, causing confusion if landing. Meanwhile, Tommy saw the knifes first, then the fun gunpowder. Tommy jumped off of the sands as hard as he could, and then threw up another of his secrets to take the blast: Protect. In that way, Tommy remained totally unharmed from that attack. Tommy grinned. It seemed Memo was being serious. "If that's how you want it." Tommy reached into his pockets and pulled on the gloves. "The gloves are off!... Er, on!" He shouted up at Memo. It seem they had a secret hidden in them as well. The only visible hints were the large glowing blue stones in the center of each glove.

"Phew! Thank Arceus I won! Or rather, Memo called it a draw? What would you say, Memo?" Tommy called over to Memo, who had become disoriented from Tommy's punch. "I'm glad I took some training from Champ!" He reffered to his Machamp, who set up difficult training methods that left Tommy passed out for much of the first month each day during the period of intense training.

"Ah, fine." Tommy gave in to the decision. He sat down as well, and called back Drilbur, who had nestled into the sand easily. "Well, I'll be off, then." Tommy waved Memo good bye before heading back into HQ, and heading back to his room, where he quickly closed the door, stripped, and jumped into bed. He was soon fast asleep.

*Itaku walked in carrying a box of cookies he offered one to Crest he was on top of head, ever since that last mission Crest and Cragg haven't left my side. Cragg was waddling beside me as I offered him a cookie to. They both munched happily on the sweet treat.*

"Hellooooooo anyone around?"

Ginji smiled as he listened to what was on his headphones. He was definitely having a much better day than yesterday. "It's impossible to heal without knowing the wound." he smiled as he lay looking at the ceiling.
