[IC] Pokemon: Kalos

[James Davy]

"I believe it," stated Shiranui, "From what I've been reading about the Cyllage Gym, Grant uses Pokémon restored from local fossils and he isn't the only gym leader to do so."

[Flood]

"Yeah. Tons of gym leaders do that kind of stuff. It's not that big of a deal." Ryan interjected with a bored expression on his face.

Liam's father approached the heroes. "Hello boys." He said. He saw Ryan. "You must be a new friend of Liam's." He said. " I am Liam's father."

[Flood]

Ryan bowed his head slightly and smiled. "I am Ryan. It is a pleasure to meet you. Your battle with Disntha was pleasant to observe. It's been a while since she had to use Gardevoir." Ryan complimented in his own unique way.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Mr. Coleman explained it was simply a 1-on-1 battle, and he sent Poliwrath out first. Diantha approached hearing Ryan's comment. She explained the last time before now someone gave Gardevoir a good battle was a boy who had a Pikachu riding on his shoulder. She saw Liam. "So you must be Thomas' son, Liam. Your father has told me a lot about you." She then gave an explanation of the rules of the facility, and the ranking system and procedure. There were six new trainers present. It was decided that they would be put against one trainer each. Each trainer uses one Pokemon. The winners will become barons or baronesses. They will receive these white capes. Liam was randomly matched against the only female of the six. The girl called out a Flabébé.

"Flabébé, It draws out and controls the hidden power of flowers. The flower Flabébé holds is most likely part of its body. When it finds a flower it likes, it dwells on that flower its whole life long. It floats in the wind's embrace with an untroubled heart." Liam sent out Scarlet, the Finnekin.

"Flabébé, Lucky Chant!" The girl called.
"Will O' Wisp!" Liam called. The Flabébé made Scarlet unable to get critical hits briefly, while she burned the fairy type.
"Tackle." The girl ordered.
"Scarlet, use Flame Charge!" Liam called. The Pokemon collided with one another.
"Fairy Wind Flabébé!"
"Flame Charge!" Liam called. Both attacks hit. Scarlet became enveloped in the whit light and evolved into Braixen.

"Braixen, the Fox Pokemon, and the evolved form of Finnekin. It has a twig stuck in its tail. With friction from its tail fur, it sets the twig on fire and launches into battle. When the twig is plucked from its tail, friction sets the twig alight. The flame is used to send signals to its allies."
"Flamethrower!" Liam called. The attack hit and finished the Flabébé.
"Flabébé is unable to continue, Braixen wins. The winner and new Baron is Liam Coleman of Blackthorn City!" The ref announced. The official handed Liam the white cape that identified Liam as a Baron.

Ryan shrugged and called out his Pancham. "Come out Bancho." The Pancham looked ready for a fight as it began hopping around. The opposing trainer was a 17 year old male who was wearing a torn up scarf. He sent out a Poochyena and prepared for battle.

"Bancho, start it off with a Comet Punch." With these words the battle began as Bancho rushed the Poochyena with a flurry of punches. The Poochyena dodged the first two punches, but was hit by the last three in turn.
"Poochyena, use Bite!" The Poochyena latched onto Bancho but it did practically nothing due to typing.
" Bancho, Slash it until it lets go." Bancho brought out his claws and began repeatedly slashing at the Poochyena until it eventually let go. The Poochyena was obviously on its last legs, so it was time to end this.
" Bancho, Circle Throw." Bancho grabbed the Poochyena and threw him over his head and into a nearby wall. When the dust settled the Poochyena was knocked out and Bancho was the winner. "Well done warrior. Return and rest." Ryan returned him to his Pokeball and graciously accepted his cape to show his new status as a Baron.

It was now Shiranui's turn to battle and his opponent was a 16-year-old red-haired boy with a blue shirt who sent a Murkrow into battle. "That Murkrow reminds me of Kyouchou," Shiranui mused, thinking about his Honchkrow, "Honoh, I choose you!" He sent out his Fletchling and the battle was on.
"Murkrow, Pursuit!"
"Honoh, Peck!" The Fletchling put his Gale Wings ability to work and gave Murkrow a swift peck before Murkrow tackled the robin.
"Murkrow, Wing Attack!"
"Honoh, time to test out that new move we worked on! Acrobatics!" The Fletchling let out a high-pitched chirp before he started to glow. Honoh grew more than a foot in height before the glow subsided to reveal a Fletchinder.
"Fletchinder, the Ember Pokémon and the evolved form of Fletchling. The hotter the flame sac on its belly, the faster it can fly, but it takes some time to get the fire going." Honoh executed a few aerial stunts before dive bombing Murkrow into a knockout.

Shiranui also gained the status of Baron after receiving his own white cape.

Mr. Coleman appluded the valliant battles done by the three heroes.

[Flood]

Ryan put on his cape and smiled. He bowed when Mr Coleman applauded him and his grin got even wider. "I am glad to see you enjoyed our battles."

[bowtiesrcool86]

"So, where are you three off two next?" Mr. Coleman inquired. A dark skinned man approached, "I bet they are heading for the Cyllage City Gym, right?" he asked. Liam confirmed the speculation. The man introduced himself as that gym's leader, Cliff. and that he looked forward to their battles there. He then excused himself and left to return to his gym.

[James Davy]

"So this is the guy we need to defeat next," stated Shiranui, donning his cape and letting Yoto out to ride on his back.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Well, shall we move on?" Liam inquired.

[Flood]

"Let's do that." Ryan responded as he opened the exit. As he opened the door he came face to face with Viola. "Nope." He immediately closed the door and ran to the restroom. After a few minutes he came out in different clothing and a hoodie. " Ok, I'm ready to go now." He opened the door again and made sure to cover his face as he walked past Viola and towards Cyllage City.

[James Davy]

"What was that all about?" Shiranui inquired. He grew concerned about Ryan's strange behaviour.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"I wonder what his beef with Viola is." Liam thought aloud. "We should probably catch up with him though."

[James Davy]

"Agreed," replied Shiranui.

[Flood]

Ryan stopped and panted a bit. He remembered his experience with Viola an hour ago and shuddered. She had been shaking with rage after that incident with the door. "I'm not crazy right? She looked like she wanted to kill me." Ryan asked Oberon and Fuma.

"You're definitely crazy. but you are right about this one thing." Oberon responded with a level of sarcasm that couldn't hope to be expressed through words.

"Screw you. You agree with me right Fuma?" Ryan asked, while just Fuma shook his head and snickered. "Everyone hates me." He said with a cartoon storm cloud above his head.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam finally caught up with Ryan. "Here you are." He said.

[James Davy]

Shiranui caught up as well. "Are you feeling okay?" he asked.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"I am concerned as well." Liam added.
