Welcome to Gaia! ::

((( AHHH I havent posted in sooo long. I will try to post at LEAST once or twice a week )))

Zuki stopped as he heard the rustling of bushes in the distance. The wind was calm so it couldnt have been the cause as he looked up at the full moon, giving him just enough light to see. He threw up the custom grey pokeball, in which Grim appeared.

As if reading his mind, Grim vanished as he was approaching the bush.

"Wahhhhh!" screamed a young voice. A youngster came flying out of the bush. "GHOST!!!!"

As he past Zuki, he grabbed he youngster's shirt. He recognized him as his neighbor's son. "Adam? What are you doing out here so late?"

"I was trying to catch a HootHoot for my father. He has always wanted one. I was going to catch one and train it so it would be a Noctowl and protect me...and then that ghost came and..."

"Ok. I get it. I am going to Cherrygrove City, so you go home before I call your dad." He said in a calm voice as he patted his head.

Zuki started to walk in the path as behind his back, Adam started making faces, mocking him.

Grim the Duskull suddenly appeared before him, making a scary face. "Wahhhh! DADDY!!!!!!" Adam screamed as Grim chuckled lightly, returning to his pokeball as Adam ran home, leaving a trail of dust.

"Ahh, okay," Jaeshan nodded, picturing the route in his head. "Keegan just sent me a message, saying that he wants to meet in Celadon instead. I guess that's more convenient for him then, and since he's doing me a favor, I shouldn't argue." The boy smiled as his friend.

"Celadon is only about an hour or two away if you use a bike," the nurse said from behind the counter.

Jaeshan turned to look at her. "Oh, thanks," he said, but shrugged his shoulders. "I don't have a bike, though," he said.

"There's a few in the parking lot if you want to borrow them," she said with a nod. "That way you and your friend could go together."

"That would be very nice," Jaeshan said, feeling a slight pink come to his cheeks. "Would you like to come along on a nice bike ride?" he asked.

Geicko started digging through his trainer's packsack. After a bit of searching he retrieved from it a small can of sliced pineapple. He then looked over to his trainer who was sleeping on the bench beside him. Geicko hung his head and sighed, "Tree..." He hopped onto the bench and began to poke Cam.

Cam swatted at Geicko as he felt the pokemon poking him. "Huh... not now mom..." He mumbled and shifted away from Geicko still asleep. The poking didn't stop and Cam eventually woke up. "Huh what, oh it was you." Geicko grinned as Cam woke up and then picked up the can of sliced pineapple he had found. "Treecko?" It held the can towards Cam. Cam looked a bit embrassed, "You know I would open it and let you have it... if I had remembered to grab a can opener before leaving home. Tell you what I'll go get us something to eat." He looked around the train station for some sort of vending machine or snack counter. He spotted a vending machine of drinks. He walked over, put some money in the machine and pushed the button for a lemonade. A small bottle of lemonade popped out and he walked back with it to Geicko. He handed the bottle to Geicko. "Sorry bud best i can do right now." The treecko took the bottle happily and began to drink it.

The two had been waiting for the train in Celadon for awhile now. It was only a week ago that Cam met his new friend and was convinced to start out on a journey to become a pokemon trainer. He had gotten Geicko as an egg for a birthday present from his cousin Erica. Upon it's hatching she had suggested he head to a town called Pallet Town and get a pokedex from Proffessor Oak there. So Cam decided to take the train. Just then a voice came on the PA. "The train will be arriving at Celadon train station shortly."

Mike welcomed the rise in heat. After all, he did spend his eary, days around a volcano. Not letting the smoke get the best of him, he ordered his Pokemon to use Aerial Ace. "That move never misses, go at it Xanthos!"

The Crawduant hopped up in the air, swishing his claws faster than you'd expect for a crab. Waves of energy flew from his moves, curving around and shooting into the cloud of smoke that housed the Torkoal.

Akane took heed of the announcement and disembarked the train, Twinkers in her arms, and walked over to the notice board. The train to Viridian (and Pallet Town) was leaving in twelve minutes on platform two. That sounded easy enough. An older boy with a mop of red hair and, of all things, a dark cape hurried past with an adorable red fox Pokemon in tow. I wouldn't mind getting me one of those Akane thought to herself, though she didn't know what it was. Slightly behind the boy was someone else. A boy or a girl, it was hard to tell at first glance, though she or he was shorter than the boy and also wore dark clothing. Akane watched the little fox Pokemon for as long as she could before the dark clad pair left the station.

With a few minutes wasted, Akane went to board the train to Viridian City. Several other people were also boarding the train, but Akane's attention was drawn to a small green lizard Pokemon that was following and older bespectacled boy with blonde hair, blue shirt and khaki pants. It was a Pokemon that she hadn't seen before, much like the red fox Pokemon, but it didn't have the charm of the fox Pokemon.

Kilik walked through the threshold of the Gym. The sliding door allowed him to enter without lifting a finger. The lights were shut off and it had the same aura it had when he had entered here what felt like eons ago. The same group of thugs stood crossarmed against the opposite wall. "Can I help you?" asked one of them. Kilik looked up from the floor and blinked at them.

"Yeah. Get me Surge. I'm here for a rematch," he pointed at the biggest of the trio, a tall bald man with a cut-sleeved jean jacket. This man smirked.

"Well, well! It's Meat!" he laughed, "Come back with that little Flareon of yours for another whuppin'?" However, the female pressed her hand to the bigger one's chest as if pushing him back. Kilik said nothing.

"I think he's serious. Doesn't seem as arrogant as he did before," she strode past them swiftly, "I'll get Surge. Hold on, kid," she disappeared. Kilik blinked at the two men and crossed his arms, throwing a cold look at the big, bald one.

"Care for a quick little battle? One on One." He held up Flareon's Pokeball, "Nobody insults my Flareon and gets away with it."

"All right, Meat. We'll do it outside the Gym! That way, Surge'll have a clean floor to dirty up then wipe up with you!" He pushed the boy out of the way as he exited the Gym. The boy followed, still clenching Flareon's ball.
