ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Sees that Raikou has been behaving erratically-

<Nadia: "You don't suppose he heard that "gerbil" comment, did he?">

<Vlad: "Nah, what are the odds?">

-Spots Stratus with Luke-

<Nadia: "... I didn't know that Lake's trainer had a Dragonite...">

<Vlad: "I didn't know that either, do you suppose that he's an old friend or something?">

-On the ground, in the ZERO-ONE-

"What do you suppose they're talking about, Shaun?"

<Shaun: "Eh, it's probably just some small talk.">

-Back up in the air-

<Vlad: "You seem like you've got a pretty good handle on basic flight... We'll probably have to start doing more long distance stuff later...">

Eh, these things can't be helped.

I've picked my six.

- Nods -

Oh, I see.

So, I decided what my team for the next match should be.

Flare: <Oh? Who's the lucky Pokémon, then?>

Let me show you.

-I release Pepper, Wulfric, Ad Min and Blitz.-

These guys, along with Lake and Stratus. -Looks at the Pokémon I just released.- Hi guys.

Pepper: <Hi! So we're going to be in the next battle then? Wonderful!>

Blitz: <Really? That's fantastic! I'll show 'em just how strong we all are!> -Notices Stratus.- <Hey! I reckon' I 'ain't ever seen you before! Who are you?>

Stratus: <I'm Stratus! I only just joined Luke's team. So, I'm guessing you're Blitz?>

Blitz: <Yep, that's me al'right. Pleased to meet ya' Stratus.>

Stratus: <Same here!>

-Ad Min suddenly gets right in Stratus face.-

Stratus: <Yikes!>

Ad Min: My goodness, a Dragonite! Do you realise how rare Dragonite are, Luke?>

I know Ad. I was pretty lucky to run into Stratus, I guess.

Blitz: <Ad! Git out of 'is face! Ya' scaring him!>

Ad Min: Oh! My apologies, I've just never seen a Dragonite in the flesh before. Are you Stratus?

Stratus: <Yes, that's me.>

Ad Min: Oh! Then it's a pleasure to meet you Stratus! ^_^

Stratus: <...Did he just pronounce a smiley?>

Pepper: <Yes. Ad's a bit of a strange one.>

Well, the weather is still a little... uncertain. I think I'm going to go to bed now. Pretend my character is still there. See you guys tomorrow.

What is Ad Min, again?

Good night DS, and Ad Min is a Porygon-Z.

-Decides to start reading a book-

edited 6th Jun '11 2:32:11 PM by rmctagg09

Yes, he's a Porygon-Z. He's also a bit weird.

Wulfric: <Do you know who we're going to be fighting against next Luke?>

-I shrug.-

Sorry Wulfric, I don't have a clue. It could be anyone, really.

Unite: <Knowing our luck, it'll probably be Red you end up fighting.>

Woolly: <I hope not! Then Wulfric won't get to win against anybody! And I don't want that...>

Wulfric: -Blushes- <Aww...I'm glad you care, Woolly.>

Stratus: <I hope it isn't Red either. I really need to win a fight, I just have too.>

Lake: <I'm sure we won't have to fight Red. And even if we did, he's not unbeatable. I'm sure we stand a good chance.>

Ad Min: Actually, according to my calculations-

Flare: <Don't finish that sentence! You'll just end up depressing everyone!>

Ad Min: Oh. Understood. Terminating Probability generator.

Favourite Game: The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time. Cliched, I know, but I love it.

Who's ready to know their second round matchups? Crewe, Tagg, and who else?

I'm ready. As I mentioned in the other thread. My team for the second round is over there if you want to see it.

I'm ready too. It's not like anything else is going on.

Gotcha, Luke. I just posted it for you.

I'll put it in the discussion thread for you, Tagg.

Ad Min: Incoming e-mail from the Gold Conference! Oh, it's regarding our next opponent Luke!

Let's hear it then!

-Everyone holds their breath in anticipation as Ad Min conjures up a virtual letter and reads it.-

Ad Min: Let's see...Your next opponent will be...Mr. Fuji of Lavender Town.

...

...Mr Fuji?

Lake: <I remember him. He was in charge of the Soul House in Lavander Town.>

Pepper: <Oh yes! I remember him too! He was such a nice old man.>

Flare: <Isn't he a bit old to be battling, though?>

You can never be too old to battle Flare! That's how I see it, anyway.

Ad Min: It also says that Mr. Fuji has been given a difficulty rating of 7.5/10.

Sol: <Well then, it seems despite his age, Mr Fuji certainly won't be a pushover.>

Stratus: -Looks worried.- <Ooh...How am I supposed to win against such a hard opponent? Who knows what his Pokémon might be like? I bet they could take me out it one attack!>

Woolly: <Hey, don't worry. His Pokémon can't be that strong, right?>

Unite: <Well, if they're as old as he is.>

Stratus: -Buries his head in his hands- <Eurgh.>

-Gets a text about his next opponent-

Lance? Great.

Vanilluxe: <Lance?>

Nudi: <He's the Champion of the Indigo League.>

Gaia: <Extremely powerful.>

Guess I'm about to get my wish for a real battle after all.

-Notices stadium filling with people-

<Nadia: "Oh! It looks like the matches are about to start!">

<Vlad: "Really? I guess we should head in then.">

-Nadia and Vlad land-

"Have you had enough or something, Nadia?"

<Nadia: "Yeah, it looks like the matches with your are starting now, and I really don't want to miss them...">

"Alright... Um... Where was that exhibit place that we found this thing?"

<Vlad: "It's up ahead near the entrance.">

"Well that was convenient..."

-Parks ZERO-ONE in the exhibit, lets Milo and Lardna out, and rushes out into the stands along with team-

Okay, who's available to play Lance?

-Has moved to the stands and is waiting to be called up-

edited 6th Jun '11 3:33:24 PM by rmctagg09

Well, I'm free for the next few hours. What's his team?

His HGSS rematch team.

Hmm. Tough team. Good luck with this guy.

-Rather then simply walk into the arena like everyone else, Lance decides to make a scene by soaring in on his Dragonite.-

Lance: It is I! LANCE!!!

-The crowd applauds wildly. Lance milks the adoration for all it's worth by bowing to the spectators.-

Dragonite: <(Sigh) Why does he always do this...>

Lance: Now then! Who is my opponent?

Oh uh. Tagg's fighting Lance.

Lake: <Lance? Well, Tagg's in for a tough fight.>

Woolly: <Poor Tagg, I hope he manages to beat him!>

Unite: <Well from what I've seen, Tagg seems to know what he's doing. Besides, he has years of experience.>

True. I wouldn't be surprised if he fought him before.

Stratus: <Wow. That Dragonite looks strong...>

Thanks Luke, I'll need it.

-Walks down to the stadium-

I'm not going down without a fight.

I am.

edited 6th Jun '11 3:40:11 PM by rmctagg09

Dinner. Be back later.

Lance: Hmm...You look familiar. Have we met before?

Dragonite: <I remember you! Hello!> -Waves-

Lance: ...It doesn't matter. An opponent is an opponent whether you know them or not! Let's go Charizard!

-Lance releases his Charizard.-

-Is sitting in the stands watching Tagg's battle against Lance, but is stuck sitting next to some Lance fangirls-

edited 6th Jun '11 3:48:32 PM by strawberryflavored

I remember you too Dragonite. Go Nudi!

-Nudi appears-

Nudi, let's start this with a Surf!

Nudi: <Got it!>

-Summons a large wave and sends it at Charizard-

Dragonite: <Oh! He does remember me!> -Blushes-

Lance: Fly out of the way and use Sunny Day!

-Charizard spreads his wings and takes to the air. However, he isn't fast enough to avoid clipping the wave and takes some damage. Now airborne, Charizard roars to the sky, the sunlight soon becoming intense.-
