Taking a pokéball from his hip satchel, he threw it into the gleaming sun, a white light materializing from it as it hit the ground. The light formed into his partner, Silvally, a synthetic Pokémon he rescued three years ago. [color=a3a8ab][/color] With a happy expression, the large chimeric Pokémon moved in to nuzzle its Trainer, nearly knocking him over in the process. [color=f5ebbc]"Ack! Silvally..."[/color] Giving the Fire-typed Pokémon a reluctant hug, he then moved himself away, furrowing his brows in an attempt to look serious. [color=f5ebbc]"Now remember, this is our journey, but my intention is to raise a new team, got it? After a warm-up, we should probably get going."[/color] With the chimera in tow, the black-clad teen made his way towards the arena behind the Pokémon Center. To his surprise, there was already someone occupying the space. Holding his hand to brow, he watched the scene with curiosity. It was unlike anything he had seen before; it was similar to a dance routine. Like the fire-dancers of Alola, her Pokémon were agile. Silvally, similarly, was taken aback as well. [i][color=a3a8ab]I wonder what they are doing?[/color][/i] After a few moments, it decided to take it up with its Trainer. Looking up, it tilted its head. Shaking his head, Gladion crossed his arms, [color=f5ebbc]"I'm not sure. I've heard of Pokémon who compete in competitions that do not involve combat, but I can't say I've seen one. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if that woman were into them..."[/color] [h3][color=fbf374]Olivier Laine[/color][/h3][img]http://i.imgur.com/ms4Ow8a.png[/img] [color=b4f694]Libra the Ralts[/color] [b][Route 701 - Pokémon Center][/b] [@Shiny Keldeo] The battle between Devon and Brooks had concluded, leaving Olivier with more questions than answers. However, though inspired by the battle, his thoughts were elsewhere. His desire to journey had faded, but something within him wanted to know more. Mega Evolution. Those his introductions with the two concluded, he was left unfulfilled. Scratching the back of his head, he averted his gaze, [color=fbf374]"I'm so sorry, Michael. I know I promised I'd travel with you, but..."[/color] Trailing off, he found the words difficult to say, [color=fbf374]"I think... I might head back to New Amber Town... and then maybe home. After seeing that Mega Feraligatr... I realized there's a lot I don't understand, and I crave understanding."[/color] [h3][color=e4add5]Celes Elwyn[/color][/h3][img]http://i.imgur.com/ms4Ow8a.png[/img][color=f2b56f]Ranulf the Dragonite[/color], [color=a6bfe4]Mist the Dratini[/color] [b][Route 701 - Pokémon Center][/b] [@Light Lord][@Shiny Keldeo] [color=e4add5]"W-ow! That was so awesome! Wasn't it guys!? I can't believe that uh..."[/color] Rolling his eyes, Ranulf let out a sigh, [color=f2b56f][/color] A grin played across the small girls visage, [color=e4add5]"Yeah that! I can't believe that Devon's Marill evolved! So cool!"[/color] The others rushed towards Devon, but Celes stayed put between Ranulf's legs, instead deciding to shout out towards the hooded teen, [color=e4add5]"GREAT JOB DEVON! I BET YOU CAN BEAT HIM NEXT TIME!"[/color] [h3][color=fc3862]Nasir the Zoroark[/color] and [color=cfcfcf]Ace the Starly[/color][/h3][b]Trainer:[/b] Devon Lyton [b]Illusion Status:[/b] None [b][Route 701 - Pokémon Center - Exterior Arena][/b] [@Light Lord][@Shiny Keldeo] Staying quiet with his arms crossed, Nasir's brows furrowed as he analyzed the battle. [color=fc3862][i]That was no normal Trainer. Cyan is strong, and had a definite type advantage. With her evolution, she should have been able to easily overcome such an opponent. Who is that man...?[/i][/color] The Zoroark's blue eyes followed the opposing man and his Noivern as they rode into the distance. [color=fc3862][i]Hmmm...[/i][/color]
