[IC] Pokémon Alola

[James Davy]

"You almost beat me back at Kanto," Shiranui reminded, "You're stronger than you think."

[Alisdragon911]

“You are strong,” Jen says as she remembers the battles Chuck and her friends were in.

[Azure Flame]

Chuck looked at his hand and clenched his fist. "It's true that I am strong, but I can just feel it deep inside. I'm not strong enough just yet."

Liam handed the six Pokémon that were on his belt for use to a Chansey for healing while he listened to what Chuck was saying. "I couldn't imagine what I would do if one of my family members disappeared," he commented. "I think I might have something to say that will help you. You are wanting answers to what happened to your brother, you long for it like a Bagon longs to fly. Though your trials you have already evolved to a Shelgon, closer to your goal, you have done phenomenally well in Kanto, and as Shiranui commented, nearly beat him and become Champion. You're wanting to evolve into the Salamance, but I think you already are that Salamance." Liam paused, "OK, that sounded better in my head, but you get what I'm saying, right?"

[Azure Flame]

"If using that analogy, I suppose you could say I feel I need to go even further, and become a Mega Salamence." Chuck said, retrieving his own Pokémon that he'd left before they arrived. "Strength of not only body, but also mind and spirit. The incident with Marshadow shows I still have more to learn. Who knows, this Island Challenge could be what I'm looking for."

"I can drink to that," Shiranui agreed, "Alola has certainly changed me in several ways; one being that it kept my shinobi skills sharp and as my father drilled into my head, 'Even when you achieve the jounin rank, you must keep your mind open to learning new things.'"

[Alisdragon911]

“I could drink to that too, since I met you guys I become stronger and I could face my fears. I also learn a lot from everyone to apply it in my battles and learnin.g about your travels to inspire me to become stronger.” Jen says as her Pokémon are warming up by the fire place.

"I'm sure you will find out eventually," Liam comforted.

[James Davy]

"Along with the rest of us," added Shiranui.

Liam's healed Pokémon were returned too him, and he made the needed adjustments to his team.

[James Davy]

Shiranui got his freshly-healed Pokémon back and made an adjustment to his team he needed in order to try and salvage any data from the broken phone Liam recovered.

[Azure Flame]

"Well, I'm ready to go if you guys are." Chuck said.

[Alisdragon911]

Jen smiles as she return her Pokémon to their balls except Maui and Aura. “I am ready to go,” Jen says as she notices a Vulpix before it scurries away into the Moutain.

[James Davy]

"Ready on my end," said Shiranui after checking his equipment. He told Liam he was ready to try and salvage data from the broken phone.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam handed over the phone.

[James Davy]

Shiranui sent Renketsumoh out and directed the Porygon to analyse its memory chips. Renketsumoh disappeared into the shard that the phone's internal memory chip was located and started their analysis. "The analysis should be complete after we finish the Ice trial," stated Shiranui, noting to himself to evolve his Porygon after its task is complete.

"Well, we should probably get going then," Liam said.

[Alisdragon911]

Men agrees to get going, she could evolve Kawane her Pikachu if he wants to. She notices one of her Pokémon is sad and she touches the Great ball Michiru is in to comfort her.

[Azure Flame]

"Sounds good to me." Chuck said, getting up and heading to the door.

Liam had the pair of Ice Stones stashed in his bag, he would be able to evolve the Alolan Sandshrew once he was ready, and was trying to determine when would be a good time. This is something he was pondering on the back burner on the way to the trial site.
