ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

- The ZERO-ONE is at the gates -

Well, we're here. Almost. I guess we can't just drive up into the stands, that would be silly, no?

-Josie does some magical Tai-Chi movements and gracefully dodges all of the leaves somehow by dancing and stepping on leaves like a Kung-Fu movie hero.-

Alright Josie, get in range for an ICE PUNCH!

-Josie gets in range, and slams an Ice Punch onto Shiftry as hard as possible-

Oakley, battle time!

-Sends out Oakley-

Oakley: -Adjusts tophat- <Well, looks like it's just about even in terms of type. You might just be a challenge.>

Nando: Begin this with Leech Seed!

Sunflora: Sun! (spins, sending seeds flying at Oakley)

Is Oakley still a Snivy?

— Oh, no worries. For a donation, the ZERO-ONE fulfills quite a good role thanks to this Vertiable —Adaptation technology.

*Pulls the 'B' lever, pushes the 'G' lever*

And now, the ZERO-ONE will transform to its airmobile, and slightly more comfortable for the passengers, form!

-from the stands-

And this guy's supposed to be an Elite Four member? Man, Hoenn must have some low standards.

-the force of the Ice Punch is enough to knock Shiftry out-

Sidney: Well played. I wish you luck in your upcoming rounds.

"I guess that answers that question... Not sure how I'm going to be able to explain not having anything for that project regarding Squirtle phenotypes in Fiore..."

Oakley's still a Snivy.

-Grabs Tracer-

Tangent and Silent are here. What the hell do we do?

Yes, but he's about as powerful as most mid-range Servines are.

-Oakley dodges most, but nips a seed to the tail-

-I motion my hand in a circle-

Oakley: <Gotcha... Time for a bit of a spin.> -Oakley does Leaf Tornado-

- The ZERO-ONE flies over the edge of the stands -

Hey, Silent! I think I see Tagg and Tracer! -waves-

- steers the craft their way -

Hey guys!

"Well if they weren't at the stadium I'd suggest going to some forsaken rock in this region and attempting to wait them out..."

<Vlad: "Wait, why are you so worried about seeing Tangent and Silent again? I thought that you liked them...">

-Sees Tangent and Silent coming towards them-

"Well, crap."

Thank you, Sidney. And good job out there, Josie. You did great.

Josie: <Thank you.>

(From the stands) Huh...those guys sort of look familiar...weird.

Nando: Razor Leaf, please.

Sunflora: Flora! (Begins twirling, leaves swirling off it and spinning towards Oakley)

Announcer Guy: JANE BELEN ADVANCES TO THE NEXT ROUND!

-Waves back at Tangent and Silent-

We're screwed man.

-Sends a quick text to Jane about their bosses being here-

edited 3rd Jun '11 9:13:43 PM by rmctagg09

Woohoo! Yay!

-Jane immediately faints from tiredness. Josie quickly picks her up and carries her out of the stadium. He gives a thumbs up to the audience signalling that she is okay-

If it was me out there, I'd have done so much better. He didn't knock out even one of her Pokemon.

Felis: <And yet he gets an invite while you don't. That says something about your skills, you know.>

Not helping, Felis...

Felis: <Who said I was here to help?>

And I'm back. What did I miss?

Tracer! Was wondering why you dropped off the radar... figures we'd find you with Tagg. And Tagg! Where have you been, man? It's...

-looks at field-

...was that the Belen girl who just battled?

-Oakley is hit by the Razor Leaf, he gets back onto his feet-

Oakley: <Okay you little flower-tot... Let's see how you fare against a Mega Drain.> -Oakley charges at Sunflora and grabs on and drains part of the Sunflora's health-

The start of the tournament, Fool. Jane won her match, and Pentigan just started his. You can be with the rest of us in the stands.

Latias: WOOOO!

Sunflora: Flora!

Nando: Try using Cut!

(Sunflora slashes at Oakley with its leaves)

Also, Tangent and Silent just succeeded in tracking us down.

-Decides to change the subject-

Yeah, Jane just battled. Flawless victory on her part.

"Um..."

<Vlad: "Yeah, she was!">

"Shut up, Vlad..."

-Realizes that he just gave away his ability to converse with Pokemon by responding to Vlad-

-Facepalms-

-Cheers Jane and Pentigan before remembering something-

I didn't get to show Jane my orb!
