Adam and Inferno fidgeted a lot as the director spoke. Did this man ever stop talking? He wanted to go already. When the director finally released them, Adam and his Charmeleon ran ahead. “YEAHHHHHHH!” Only stopping when he realized he had no idea where he was going. He hadn’t put any thought of where he was going to start looking for his treasure.

He then saw a familiar handsome face, and didn’t bother thinking about that anymore. The redhead ran up to the other student. “Hey boulder brain!” Adam put his arm around the muscular boy’s shoulders, and grinned. “You’re talking to a future champion!” He snapped his fingers, and Inferno breathed a flamethrower into the sky. “Looking for that treasure is no fun by yourself though. How about the two of us go lookin for it together huh?”

(Sometime later...)

Pete cradled Luna in one arm and listened patiently to Director Clavell's speech. He remembered the gist of the speech from last year, and even more so remembered the cold feeling of dread that came with having no idea what he was supposed to make of the Director's words. The concept of a treasure had seemed so intangible and shrouded in mystery. Now he listened with a confident grin and a solid plan of attack. Find the herbs guarded by the titan pokemon – definitely no small feat, but even an attempt could make a world of difference for global healthcare.

“Hey boulder brain!” An arm wrapped around Pete's shoulders. Pete looked over to see his classmate Adam and grinned back as the other student declared his imminent champion status with a tower of flames from his charmeleon.

“Hell yeah!” Pete cheered, and Luna howled and wagged her tail at the display. “I'm going out the east exit, so if you're heading that way, sure, why not?” Luna wriggled out of Pete's grasp and bounded ahead toward the exit with an eager bark. “Oh, hang on Luna, there's someone else who wanted to go with us too.” Jean had wanted to join after hearing Pete was looking for rare herbs. Who knew his goal to find a miracle cure would overlap with Jean's goals of discovering new recipes? “Can you go find him for us, Luna?”

Luna nodded and tore off, sniffing aggressively to catch the scent of that weird sandwich from before. She followed her nose straight to Jean, jumping on him with a happy bark then spinning back in the direction where she'd come, bowing her front legs playfully down to encourage him to follow her.

Renata could barely hear her own light claps against her slushie cup over the raucous cheers. It wasn't that she lacked enthusiasm. She'd spent the past few weeks eagerly looking forward to this day. It was just, how would she go about this? Was there any guarantee she'd even find anything that could be called a treasure?

Maera's reaction was much more expressive. With several excited barks, she jumped around, looking up eagerly at Renata and wagging her tail. The very corners of Renata's mouth twitched upwards. "I guess now's as good a time as any," she murmured, trailing along as Maera bounded down the stairs. Most of the students were already massing at the exits, in groups of course. Something tightened in her belly. Although she liked her own company much of the time, reminders that she still had trouble integrating - even in a much less hostile environment than at her last school - brought a feeling of unease.

These thoughts fled as she spotted Harry at the bottom of the stairs, heading towards the campus square. Would he be more willing to talk about the Ruinous Quartet now, without Adam around to sass either of them? "Nox," she whispered, tapping a Pokeball. In a flash, a Gastly appeared, warily eyeing the crowds. "He looks pretty deep in thought." She pointed to Harry. "Slipping through the floor and popping up in front of him should startle him out of it."

Nox, putting on her best mischievous grin, descended and vanished. A few seconds later, her gaseous form billowed up next to Harry - only to meet the glare of his Rufflet. She turned and shot back towards Renata in a smoky blur, a look of abject terror on her face. "Hey, it's ok, it's just Striker," Renata reassured her. "He seems pretty well behaved, and besides, normal types can't do much to you." Even so, Nox stuck close by Renata as she traipsed into the square.

"Boo! So," Renata said, catching up with Harry, Nox hiding behind her back. "The Ruinous Quartet. I take it you do have some idea how to find them? If it helps, I know a few things about myths and history."

The sandwhich debaccle was settled once Pete's Rockruff was offered more food, which in turn made Giri less territorial over her own. she slowly relaxed in Jean's arms with her hissing sounds turning into chirping of appeasement. The conversation then went on to more recent and relatable topics, more specifically the treassure hunt. While the whole concept of the treasure hunt, and the teachers expectations on what they would do during it were a bit unclear to him still, he was still set on discovering new recipes he could bring back home to kalos. Maybe he could even open a themed restaurant at some point.

Pete's plans seemed to be relatively intertwined with his own, as he was going to be looking for something called Herba Mystica. Jean had read about it in one of the books in the schools library, but his knowledge of them was pretty limited. He knew enough to know that they had a variety of functions when used in cooking though, which had piqued his interest on its own. Pete then went on to talk to his Rockruff, who had turned their attention to another student in the cafeteria. Jean then started packing away his gear and recalled Giri to her Poke Ball.

~~~~~~~~~

Some time later, Jean was standing in the schoolyard where director Clavell was addressing the students in regards to the treasure hunt. Pete had slipped away from him while he was packing up, but he had had no issues finding his way to the assembly on his own, even though he was a bit later than he would have preferred. As Jean had guessed, the treasure hunt was about as vague as he had expected. Would any of this be on their finals? Would this Be their finals? Was there even a way to fail this? A pamphlet would be nice.. Regardless, the students were now more or less free to go, and as he stood there pondering, the students gradually went on their way, either alone or on groups.

"So.. Where do we go now, huh?" Jean pondered to no one in particular. Ribbit stood close to him looking a bit uncomfortable. Maybe he didn't like big crowds or something. Regardless, he let out a low croaking sound while looking around tensly.
"Maybe we should get a map.." Jean continued. He knew they sold them in the schools general store, and he didn't have a fancy pokemon trainer gadget with a built-in map like most of the other students here had.

While standing there looking like a lost duckling, he was suddenly tackled by something, which threw him off guard. Ribbit also shrieked, having been startled byt the sudden turn of events. Looking down, the secret assassin had been noone else other than Luna the Rockruff from earlier. Had she ran off, or had Pete sent her out to search for him? Judging by the way she signaled him to follow her, he assumed it was the latter. Jean and Ribbit then followed Luna.

As expected, Luna led them straight to where Pete was, although he wasn't alone. There was an energetic guy clad in red there next to him, and they were chatting while presumably waiting for Jean to arrive. Luna barked happily and looked very proud, almost presenting Jean to Pete when they came over.

"Hello again.", Jean said. "I lost you when i was cleaning up after our previous meeting, sorry about that.". He then continued. "I don't really know the paldean landscape that well, so if you still want to look for those Herba Mystica together i could really use the company.". the air was a bit awkward as he looked for the right words to use, but Ribbit gave him a supportive pat on the back.

He then addressed the red guy standing next to Pete. He had seen the guy around the school a few times before, but he had never talked to him. "Hi. I don't think i've had the pleasure. My name's Jean.". He also extended a hand for a handshake.

@LuckyBlackCat

As Harry arrived in the campus square, he found a low wall and sat on top of it for a few moments as he watched the throng of students rush out from the school doors and down the massive staircase that led to the school. A few students even brought out their Cyclizars to make the descent quicker. Harry debated whether or not to ask if there was a method to make the dragon Pokémon more manageable, but his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden warmth on his legs. Looking down, the young trainer was greeted by the sight of Moony sleeping in his lap.

"Breaking out again, buddy?" Harry just stroked the soft fur of the little Teddiursa. There was no rush for him to get into things right now. As far as he was aware, no other students had access to Ms. Raifort's notes like he had so it stood to reason that no one else would be anywhere close to finding the Ruinous Pokémon even if they wanted to. The only other students would be... Adam and Renata. As he thought of the ghost girl, he felt Stiker suddenly shift on top of his head, but no one was around when he looked up. Shrugging it off, Harry grabbed his backpack and checked his physical map one last time. "Logically we're going to have to start in the South Province. It seems like the first tomb is somewhere in Area Five if I did my math right..."

In a matter of moments, Harry's words devolved into a bunch of techno-babble that most students would go cross-eyed just from thinking about. It wasn't until he heard a soft 'boo' that he finally glanced up and saw Renata standing next to him; a shy Gastly peeking out from behind her shoulders. Harry shivered for a moment upon seeing the Gastly AND the Greavard, but forced himself to stay calm.

The Ruinous Quartet. I take it you do have some idea how to find them? If it helps, I know a few things about myths and history." The girl stood there as she waited for Harry to consider her offer.

"I... well..." Harry tried to begin. "I'm not really one for the whole te- OW!" He was cut short as Striker jumped up suddenly pecked him in the head. "Ok! I get it!" Harry shooed the bird away from his head before continuing. "I guess what I meant to say is... Would you consider teaming up with me? Admittedly, I've got a rough history with teams, but if you promise you want to help and you WON'T backstab me, then I will need help with battling the Quartet if they're still violent." Harry rubbed his head in pain and embarrassment as Striker cooed proudly in the air behind him. Harry was making new friends!

"Sounds like it's time to meet for the announcement! Want to sit with me?" Jordan asks, all enthusiasm and bubbling anticipation. She heads off for a good seat before waiting on a response, near the front to listen intently. It was a bit dry, but to be expected from the esteemed Director Clavell of Papas Academy. She genuinely felt privileged to be a student here, excited to take to the skies and learn about the unique breeding methods to Paldea.

As they were released, a wave of students pushed to the exit and Jordan hurried that way herself. Adrenaline started pumping and excitement all but contained. There was no goal or destination in mind, but she knew she had to move in a direction and the rest would figure itself out. Once just outside the entrance to the school, she released AJ and climbed up his neck to get a better view. The rush she got seeing her fellow classmates all embarking on a journey, together and individual, was all encompassing.

Sweeping her gaze, she spotted Sam from earlier this morning. She grinned wide and took in a breath. "Hey, Sam!!" She shouted and waved from atop the neck of her Tropius and laughed at his reaction. Swinging back down to the ground, she spun and instead of hitting the floor she landed on another student with a grunt. She sprawled on the pavement and gasped with embarrassment.

"Ohhh my Arceus, I am so so sorry!" Jordan started apologizing profusely before even standing up, AJ nudging her to assist. She held a hand outstretched to the student she accidently decked. "Look, if there's anything I can do to make it up to you, please let me know I am such an idiot sometimes, not looking where I'm going," she laughed, nervous and awkward, red creeping into her cheeks and ears. "Jordan Staar, and please, anything I could do let me know and here, I'll give you my number." She fumbled about her bag and groaned internally. What a way to make a first impression.

@TheNoCoKid

Nodding, Renata couldn't help but smile. She'd expected Harry to make his excuses and leave, but he was actually willing to team up in pursuit of the Treasures of Ruin. Between the two of them, they could do this. "Yep! Can't say I have much teamwork experience either, but..." She turned pensive, eyebrows furrowing. "It's said these Pokemon were born from negative emotions that took on lives of their own. That's how a few ghost types are created, like Banette and Sandygast. So it's a safe bet that the Treasures of Ruin are ghosts too."

A type they both had an advantage and a disadvantage over. Ghosts were particularly vulnerable to attacks from other ghosts. Normal types weren't, far from it in fact as they were completely unaffected, but their regular moves couldn't inflict damage on them either. "They do sound like forces to be reckoned with, but if we cover each other's weaknesses, I'm sure it'll be fine."

Nox wasn't so certain, shrinking back from the talk of powerful Pokemon. "It's ok, we can stop by a few gyms to train up along the way," Renata reassured her. Maera, meanwhile, showed much more enthusiasm about the prospect of a journey, bouncing around the trainers' feet and barking. Renata leaned down and scratched the Greavard's ears, her little smile widening. The treasure hunt - the literal treasure hunt - was about to begin.

"So," she asked Harry, after a quick glance to make sure Adam wasn't anywhere nearby to trash talk them. Best to start on their way before they could run into him again. "Where to first?"

Adam enthusiastically shook Jean’s hand. “Mucho gusto Guapo! I know who are you. We go to the same school for cryin’ out loud! I’ve seen you in the pool. You’re an Elite Four Member’s kid right? You’re probably good at battling. You also use water types. You know what that means don’t you? We’re rivals!”

Before he had the chance to challenge Jean to battle, he was knocked to the ground. A person had landed on top of him. A cute person at that. “No problemo chica linda.” He said with a big toothy grin as he took her hand to get back up. “I’m hot. People throw themselves at me all the time. Usually not literally though…” He laughed and rubbed the back of his head. “Name’s Adam Hayes btw. You can bet I’m callin’ ya later.” He winked and gave a finger gun gesture…”

He then turned his attention back to his two traveling companions, and put his arms around both his shoulders. “As for the two of you, let the Pokémon Bros Adventure begin! Either of you know where we’re supposed to go? Probably the first Gym. Hell if I know that is.”

"Well..." Harry produced his map and gestured to where he'd marked out the tombs. "Our best chance is to start in the South Province. If I did these translations right, finding the tombs is only half the challenge. Once we find them, we'll have to 'break the seals' which I've only found a few vague references to is Ms. Raifort's notes. Something about the 'Black Spikes'." Harry looked up to see Renata looking over the map with a vested interest. She at least seemed genuine about wanting to help which caused Harry's nerves to settle by the slightest bit. He was about to continue when they were interrupted by a shout coming from across the terrace atop Mezagoza. The Normal and Ghost trainers looked up just in time to see a girl fall off a Tropius' neck and crash on top of... Adam.

Harry debated leaving the girl to her fate of being annoyed by the brash trainer when his morality won out. "Hold on," he said before setting down his map and rushing over to Jordan. "I just saw you fall, are you ok? You had a pretty nasty drop from your Tropius." When he finally got a good look, Harry recognized her as a fellow student. "Oh hey. Jordan right? I think we have advanced Pokemon Bio with Professor Jacq?" He caught Adam shooting him an annoyed look since he'd been the one knocked to the ground. "Oh, are you alright too, Adam? Of course, I'm sure it'd take more than that to injure that hard head of yours?" Harry chuckled awkwardly at his joke while Striker buried his face in his wing. Moony meanwhile, had climbed onto his trainer's back and had elected to sleep with his head on Harry's shoulder. At hearing his trainer's voice, the little Teddiursa blearily opened its eyes and looked at the gathered trainers in total confusion, "Ursa...?

Judging by the look in Adam's eyes, Harry could tell he was embarrassed by him suddenly popping in. Deciding to bail before things got anymore awkward, Harry felt a grin spreading across his face, "Well... It seems like everyone is totally fine here so I'll juuuuuuuuuuust get going. Gotta start my Treasure Hunt after all! Good luck with yours!" As Harry was about to turn away, he felt a hand clamp down on his shoulder. It seemed as though he wasn't getting out without a battle...

@TheNoCoKid @Skill @Crimson Flame

Leaning forward, Renata studied the map, eyes flicking across the notes and marked locations. "Hmm, Black Spikes... Any clues as to where they might be?" The mention of black spikes made the story sound all the more ominous, but that wasn't going to deter someone used to the macabre.

Before Harry could answer, a shout drew both trainers' attention. A girl tumbled from the neck of a Tropius, knocking another student - namely, Adam - to the ground. Wincing, she followed Harry, sprinting towards them. They seemed unhurt, judging by how quickly Adam jumped to his feet and helped up the girl she recognised as Jordan, but it was best to make sure.

"Maera, stay back." As the Greavard scampered over, Renata gestured for her to keep a safe distance. Maera meant well, but if these two were injured at all, it wouldn't help matters if she accidentally weakened them. Thankfully, the accident did indeed appear to have been a minor one. Jordan was laughing and chatting, and as for Adam... Well, he was his usual self too. Renata fought the urge to roll her eyes at his cheesier-than-Manchego-tapas attempt at flirting with Jordan. "Ah, qué bien. Looks like you're both ok."

As Harry excused himself, Renata made to head out too, but of course their plans weren't going to go smoothly. Adam clapped a hand down on Harry's shoulder, brimming with enthusiasm, seemingly eager for a battle despite having taunted him earlier. Renata could only hope this wasn't an excuse to mock him again. She shuffled back to give them space, watching in wary silence, ready to intervene if Adam's jibes became a little too harsh.

Sam finished the banana and watched Jordan continue eating her with vigor. His honey eyes stared for a bit before they drifted to the remains of his food... It seemed like common courtesy to offer her something as well but not much left of his breakfast. The silent look lasted for a moment before he decided to make it up another time. After some more time passed and the beginning of the school announcements came, Jordan moved closer to the front for a better view while he sunk into his little cove behind the flowerbed. Sam thankfully was alone as he listened to Director Clavell's long speech. He was focusing on the words seriously. When he gave the final command: Go wherever you want, travel across Paldea, and find something to treasure; the students began to scatter or gather into groups.

The teen merely stood up and observe other students from his spot. Sam leans against the building and lets his mind wander. He didn't really know what to do about the whole treasure thing, he didn't really have much interest in Pokemon battling, researching, or looking for rare objects... like what he was picking up from the chatter of others. Maybe if he traveled aimless something would come to him... He had heard something about 10 sights of Paldea... that would at least be a start. Flinching at his name being unexpectedly shouted out from afar pulled out of his thoughts, he spotted Jordan waving from atop her Tropius with what he was positive was a huge grin. A bit hesitantly, he waved back at her. It didn't feel too abrasive since they met briefly, yet he didn't exactly know the girl too well to feel comfortable either.

Watching her full-on land a guy, he thought about going over to check on her... But as quite a group had gathered around her, he immediately decided against it. The guy Jordan fell seemed to cushion her fall nicely, and another person appeared to go over and check on her. So his intervention was definitely unnecessary... Sam also found being in crowds annoying and tiring... He let out a sigh, he need to do a little research if he wanted to travel to those sights.....

"Manly?" Sam called out as his eyes searched around the flowerbed for his Cutiefly partner. It took only a moment for him to know he was no longer fluttering around there. The boy increased it to a wider area around him but still no presence of the tiny pink bug. His stare turned toward the direction of Jordan... if knew Manly as well as he believed he did, he definitely went over there... Unfortunately, the Pokemon's minuscule stature made him hard to spot from a distance. "Ugh, dang bug..." Sam groaned mildly annoyed as he slowly made his way over.

Meanwhile, the shiny Cutiefly was flying around Jordan with an air of concern.

The guy Jordan landed on seemed nonplussed at being run over and even grinned when she offered her hand.

“I’m hot. People throw themselves at me all the time. Usually not literally though…” Jordan chuckled at the cute joke and averted her eyes, shyness kicking in. She was already embarrassed and now this Adam guy was too cool headed for her. He was able to defuse the situation like it was nothing. He even promised to call her later, wink and finger guns included. Others might've found that silly, but she found it confident. Corny, but smooth. Jordan only mumbled another apology and thanks before he turned back to his friends to discuss their steps for the treasure hunt. Right, I still need to figure out my direction for that myself. Wonder if they'll let me piggy back off them…

"I just saw you fall, are you ok? You had a pretty nasty drop from your Tropius." Another classmate rounded the crowd, concern in his tone. Taller with reddish brown bushy hair, familiar. "Oh hey. Jordan right? I think we have advanced Pokemon Bio with Professor Jacq?" It clicked and she uttered a quiet oh recognizing Harry, and nodded her thanks at his attention. Adam also seemed to notice him arrive, a subtle look shared between them.

"Oh, are you alright too, Adam? Of course, I'm sure it'd take more than that to injure that hard head of yours?" The snark was evident, though maybe not intentional. Jordan cringed internally. The tension was building and it was starting to make her a little anxious, she could feel the emotion like a cool breeze over the crowd. Confrontation was never her strong suit. Fortunately, a distraction came to her in the form of a pink little Cutiefly.

“Hey there buddy, where’s your trainer? Are you lost?” Wait, Jordan recognized this Pokémon from earlier. “Where’s Sam?” she asked, wondering what the little fairy was doing separated from him. Perhaps Sam would want to travel with someone for the treasure hunt or one of these other classmates hanging around would have a good starting point in mind.

Adam was shocked that Jordan didn’t slap him. That was usually how his interactions with girls. His amusement with the situation lasted for two seconds before Harry waltzed in and ruined his whole game. Now Adam was fuming.

Harry tried to get out of this situation, but Adam wasn’t about to let him off that easily. He stomped over there, and put his hand on Harry’s shoulder. “Hold up! You think you’re so smart. You’re not leaving here without a battle! Somebody needs to see if you’re tough enough to handle those legendary Pokémon you’re hellbent on looking for.”

Inferno was quick to volunteer, but Adam held the Charmeleon back. He had another idea. “Come out Magma!” He threw a Pokeball in the air, and a Torkoal came out in a flash of light. The fiery tortoise screamed happily, and suddenly the sun got brighter. “I love the sun. Don’t you?”

@Crimson Flame@Yasha@Skill

Luna happily bounced back to her owner, Jean following awkwardly behind her. “Good girl!” Pete cooed as Luna leapt into his arms, barking happily. Jean apologized for losing them in the shuffle, then suggested they look for the Herba Mystica together. Ribbit patted him supportively on the back. Pete followed up by clapping him on the back significantly harder, a broad grin on his face. “Awesome! We could use the help – I think together we could change the world, seriously!” Luna yipped her agreement.

Jean introduced himself to Adam, but Adam already knew exactly who he was, revealing he was an Elite Four Member's kid, and because he used water types, he and Adam were rivals. Pete blinked. Was that how that worked? He wondered who his rival was. “Whoa, an Elite Four Member's kid? For real?” Pete asked. “Why didn't you mention that before?”

Next thing Pete knew, a girl fell from the sky on top of Adam. There was a tropius next to them, but it would be a solid few minutes before Pete would realize these two oddities were related. Pete frowned and walked closer, but the girl was quick to spring up and apologize profusely to Adam. Very, very, profusely, and even offered her his number. Pete snorted, finally cluing in. Oh, okay, yeah sure, she “fell” onto Adam. Lucky bastard.

Said lucky bastard wasn't hurt at all, even having the guts to say people did this to him all the time. (Pete was fairly sure he'd never seen a girl fall out of the sky onto Adam before, but maybe he just didn't notice.) Well, nobody seemed hurt, and Adam revelled in the attention, so no harm done. Adam slung his arms around Jean and Pete's shoulders, declaring their adventure to have begun, and suggested they go to the first gym. Pete tapped on his rotom phone, eventually managing to get the map application up. “Actually, I thought we could go east. Arven mentioned there was Herba Mystica in a cave guarded by a giant klawf.” He squinted at the map, which was suddenly a lot more difficult as the sun had brightened significantly. “Says the second gym is that way though. And it's grass type, so you'd have a type advantage.”

After a few awkward seconds without a response, Pete looked up and saw that Adam was fully engaged in a battle with another one of their classmates. Whoops. Luna watched eagerly, cheering on Adam with energetic barks. Pete shrugged and settled in to watch the battle. A pokemon Pete didn't recognize began buzzing around Adam's new girl. Jordan questioned it, asking where “Sam” was. Hm. How many guys was this girl juggling? Well, Sam could be a girl's name too, he supposed. “Who's Sam?” Pete grunted at her to be sure. Better to nip drama in the bud now than have to deal with it on the road.

Finally getting close enough, Sam found his little fairy/bug right where he thought. There was a sharper look in his eyes as his honey-colored eyes narrowed. "Manly, I'm going to put you in your Pokeball if you keep running off like that." The teen warned in an upright stance with his arms crossed. The sternness in his voice made it clear he wasn't joking around. Understanding that the Cutiefly took one more glance at Jordan before flying off back to his trainer. It cutely cried out apologetically in front of the cold expression of the human. Sam let out a sigh. "Honestly, you're too hard to spot when you go off on your own so stay close." His face softened immediately and the tension in his body language eased up.

The moment that happen Manly cheerfully flew some laps around Sam before perching on the top of his dark-colored hair. The Pokemon would almost blend in as another of his oddly cutesy heart hair accessories if he had mounted closer to them. His honey-colored eyes pointed toward his previous female acquaintance. There were a couple of tall guys standing close to her; one muscular guy and another that he had definitely seen in Home Ec class multiple times. His eyes scanned them without a word but then focus back on Jordan.

"Alola again, Jordan," He greeted her the same as before with the same monotone delivery and double hand wave. "Sorry about the nosy bug. He likes you it seems." The teen spoke to her in a rather matter-the-fact tone. Despite the emotionless delivery, Sam didn't come off as unfriendly. His eyes momentarily roamed to the pair about to battle and then back to her. Staring silently for a moment more, he scratched the back of his head. He really wasn't great at the whole friendly chatting thing, but he came over and might as well do something other than just stare. "Do you happen to know anything about the Ten Sights of Paldea?"

Harry shielded his eyes as Adam's Torkoal summoned the sunlight. Of course Adam wanted to battle; it would be just another chance to mock him for choosing a 'weak' type of Pokémon. The youth was about to command Striker when he suddenly realized a weight was gone from his back. Looking down, his jaw dropped when he saw Moony standing his ground in front of the lava tortoise.

"Moony!" The little Teddiursa had almost no battle experience, and Harry had been dedicated to keeping him safe. After all, he still had no idea where this Pokémon had even come from. Nevertheless, Moony had made up his mind and refused to have his nap interrupted because some rude Pokémon turned on the sunlight. Without listening to his trainer, Moony ran towards his target and prepared a fury swipes.

As if on cue, the Torkoal retreated into its shell and all Moony's small claws could do was bounce off the hard exterior. Harry shouted for Moony to change tactics and use yawn, but his partner continued his fruitless barrage. It was only when Adam shouted a command of his own that Harry could see the light of a flame burning in Torkoal's shell. This was going to get ugly.

And in response Harry sent out his Teddiursa. Adam couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “¡Oh, Dios mío, ¿estás en serio? You really think that little teddy bear is going to stand a chance? Whatever bro, it’s your funeral.” The Teddiursa proceeded to claw at Magma’s shell. Adam ordered him to use Withdraw, and the attack was rendered pretty much useless.

The Teddiursa continued using Fury Swipes on Magma’s shell, despite Harry telling it to use Yawn. Adam just started laughing harder. “Ok, put this thing out of it’s misery, and use Flame Wheel!”

A flame started burning inside the Torkoal’s shell, that soon enveloped its shell. Magma then rammed directly into the Teddiursa head first. Knocking the Teddiursa down. “Ha! Take that loser! I am not the one to be messed with!” Adam shouted and started gloating.
