ITT: We are our avatars.

Michael!Catherine: Ralts are easy to catch, Nichole. They can only use Growl. I say this because I already have one.

Falken: -nods- Well...What exactly should I do? I don't think I'm ready to try my luck against the Gym here...-sweatdrop-

Wren: Well, everyone knows the drill, I guess. Pokemon Center is where we meet up, right? -smiles-

George: Hmmm...

Sapph: I'd like a ralts, myself. Just pretty rare, is all.

Adult!Rika: I'll stay in the Pokemon Center, Wren. I don't think I'm ready to challenge this gym yet.

Nichole: I'll keep my eye out for one, then. Thanks!

Michael!Catherine: No problem. (nods) I figured that you may need some tips. Just a precaution, though, they're very rare. I wish you luck.

Wren: -smiles and nods at Rika- Well, I hope you manage to get all the badges. It's not exactly easy, but you learn a lot along the way! -smiles-

Nana:-Still in Sleep Cute mode-

Sniper: ...I ain't understand one word you people are sayin', but sounds like yer huntin' fer rats er somethin'. I guess I could join ya, if yer wantin'.

Micaiah: (to Rika) Right, don't rush through them too quickly. You gotta be ready, you know. I'm sure you'll be able to earn the badge, though.

(to Sniper) No, see, people catch Pokemon, like Zener here...

Zener: <Hi.>

Micaiah: ...and train them. It's kind of a big thing pretty much across the world. I've only actually caught two Pokemon myself... and then Zener I raised since he was a baby.

Nichole: Thanks. Heh, I wonder if I still have any luck left over from... er, you know. Stealing a bunch of it when I was Vriska. Might be useful if I do, for finding those rarer Pokemon.

*Jennifer heads to bed*

*Jacky still looks half asleep*

Nichole: And maybe I better get Jacky to a bed before she falls over.

—

*meanwhile, Gina has been traveling around a bit, and happens to be not too far away from the others. Joy has been helping out in the Oldale Town Pokemon center, then ended up going back to Littleroot to get a starter of her own. She chose Mudkip, simply because she wanted the Water-type starter.*

I am heading to bed.

-Imca win the gym battle due to her pokemon having been all the way to the last gym battle before then returns to the pokemon center and goes to sleep-

-all My other charecters go to sleep in the Pettleburg pokemon center as well-

Sniper: Ah. Exotic pet raisin'. I suppose I can get behind that sort of thing.

(Adult!Rika nods to Micaiah and Wren)

Adult!Rika: Yeah.

Michael!Catherine: Not to mention that the third gym's far away from here. (points to Mauville) It's best to wait until the others catch up, I think.

Wren: -nods- Well, this is the Fifth Gym. We'd have to do a bit of back-tracking and going all over the place to get to each gym. -sighs- Hopefully that won't be too much of a problem, though. -smiles-

Falken: -stretches- Eh, I think I might go and get some shut-eye. Later, guys. -walks off-

George: ...I have no idea what to do...

Adult!Rika: I don't think it is. (smiles a little)

Catherine!Michael: We don't mind going to the same place...as long as it isn't going to be a long stay.

Skitty!Alyx: Nya~! (nuzzles Wren)

Micaiah: Not a problem as far as I'm concerned, really. -shrug-

Sniper: Dunno why ya'd need to go to different gyms, mate. I mean, it's all exercise, innit it? Unless they've got different rates or something...

Wren: -smiles and scratches Skitty!Alyx behind the ears before explaining the basics of Gyms, Pokemon Leauge, ect to the Sniper- -nods- Yeah, you're right, Rika. -smiles-

Sniper:-Listens-

...You people got one kooky system set up just to have cockfights with yer pets, ya know that?

edited 9th Jun '11 8:02:17 PM by Raidouthe21st

Skitty!Alyx: Mmm... =^__^= I like being in this body~!

Adult!Rika: Yeah...(smiles a little)

Catherine!Michael: Seems like it's been a weird day. (nods) But we managed to get over it. And I'm getting used to being in Mom's body, awkwardness be damned! (grins)

(Michael!Catherine laughs a bit)

Wren: -nods at the Sniper- W-Well...that's what some trainers choose to do, sir. -explains about Pokemon in general while petting Alyx- Heheh. Glad you're having fun. -smiles and nods at Catherine!Michael- Well, you're getting the hang of it. -grins at Rika- Heh.

(Micaiah glances at Michael.)

Micaiah: ...I bet no one's said that before.

(to Sniper) I guess. Personally, I only really have any Pokemon for battles because I need some self-defense when traveling. Dealing with wild Pokemon... isn't such a great idea if you're by yourself, even if you can understand what they're saying.

Sniper: @Wren...Still don't sit right, raising a pet just to have 'im fight fer yer amusement and tah get a shiny badge...

@Micaiah I actually buy that explanation a lot better then the rest of that sermon from the other lad. Wildlife is most certainly dangerous. Any hunter that crawled outta Australia worth his salt would tell you that much.

@Catherine!Michael .................................................................

Skitty!Alyx: Yep! I kinda want to be a Pokemon!

Catherine!Michael: Thanks, Wren. I had no idea why I was freaking out...but if my own sister didn't mind being in Mom's body, then I suppose it's fine with me now.

Adult!Rika: Because there's far worse things to be switched with. For example, Michael, you could have switched with me! (laughs)

Catherine!Michael: Yeah, I am not going there.

...

(then Catherine!Michael just realized that he said it out loud. Whoops)

Wren: -sweatdrop at Rika- Aheh...I'm with Michael, let's not go there. -nods at Skitty!Alyx- Heheh. Well, I suppose this form suits you a lot more, doesn't it? -folds his arms and sighs at Sniper- I know it doesn't feel right. Unless my Pokemon want to fight, I try to avoid it altogether. They're still living creatures.
