[IC] Pokémon Hoenn: α and Ω

[James Davy]

Shiranui grabbed on to Titania as well and the Gardevoir used Teleport to warp the heroes to their room in the Evergrande City Pokémon Centre.

Liam staggered into the building, at which point, a quick acting Blissey caught Liam before he fell. The Blissey supported him to the front desk. Joy worried asked him what happened. He weakly said he would explain later, he needed a room to rest in for a few days, and to register for the Evergrande Conference. She gave the Blissey a key to a room. Liam said a friend of his would be right behind him.

Shiranui soon appeared at the front desk to put Titania in for healing. "Nurse Joy, Liam will need someone to watch over him," he advised.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"How long is he going to be resting? And what happened?" She asked concerned.

[James Davy]

"From what I've seen, Liam rode Mega Rayquaza into space, blew a meteorite apart and came back," Shiranui explained, "He collapsed—likely from G-LOC—and barely dodged a coma thanks to my Gardevoir."

[bowtiesrcool86]

"So, your best friend is recovering after nearly going into a coma and you're not staying by his side!?" She asked raising her voice. Luckily, they were the only humans in the lobby at the moment so there would be no one gawking at the scene. Goodra walked down the hall. He was confused as to what they were talking about.

[James Davy]

"He had someone by his side in my absence," Shiranui answered, keeping his cool and pointing out Liam's Goodra, "He'll be like this for around three days."

[bowtiesrcool86]

Joy still did not like the idea of Shiranui running off when Liam was like this, but figured there was no point in arguing. She put on the warm smile she and her fellow nurses were known for and told Shiranui the she and her helpers would keep an eye on him. Goodra walked up to the desk and placed a badge case and Pokédex on the table. He pointed to the computer and opened the case to show Liam's eight badges. Joy said she was sorry, but she couldn't register Liam unless he was here in person to do it. Goodra sighed. He gave Shiranui a thumbs up before going back to Liam's room.
The doors to the center opened and a keystone soared through the air, aimed at the back of Shiranui's head.

[James Davy]

Shiranui looked back when the doors opened and saw the flying keystone just in time to catch it. "That would've been agonisingly painful," he commented, placing the keystone back on his Mega Ring. He registered for the Conference and returned to Liam's room to watch over him while Titania was healing.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Shiranui would find that Jiriya was guarding the door and had been prepared to attack whomever was entering, should they intend harm of Liam. Jiriya stopped when he saw it was Shiranui. He silently nodded to Shiranui.

[James Davy]

"Thanks Jiraiya," said Shiranui, "Liam, I'm back. How was your trip into space?"

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Out of this world." Liam said weakly with smile. He tossed a shrunk Master Ball to Shiranui and asked him to transfer that one to Oak for him.

[James Davy]

"Right away," acknowledged Shiranui before leaving for the main reception area. He rang Prof. Oak and managed to transfer the Master Ball after a bit of talking. He heard the musical chime after wrapping up the call and received Titania. He returned to Liam and said, "Done and done. Who or what was in that Master Ball?"

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Something I found while helping Rayquaza deal with the meteor." Liam said.

[James Davy]

"Well, whatever it is, I'll soon find out," replied Shiranui, "I'm glad you're on the road to recovery."

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Me too." Liam said.
(Three days later)
Liam was back to 100%. He registered for the Conference. He used what time he had left trying to balance his training as much as he could.

[James Davy]

Shiranui was out training on a secluded island at the edge of the Hoenn Region.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Soon enough, it was time for the opening ceremonies. Liam was picked to run the final leg of the torch's run, which he did with Jiriya.

[James Davy]

Shiranui managed to arrive in time for the opening ceremony. He cheered when he saw Liam enter the stadium with the torch.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Soon after the torch was lit and Liam was in the crowd of trainers, the prelims begun. Liam saw Wally in the crowd of trainers and told Shiranui. There were over three hundred trainers here. They would be weeded down to the top 32. From there on, each battle is a full six-n-six battle. With that the trainers were dismissed to go sleep, and the prelims would begin the next morning.
