Lucas ran for the bus, frantically waving his arms about in the air.

“Hey, wait up.... I’m right here....” he shouted, the driver clearly not hearing him.

As the bus drove off into the night, Lucas slumped onto a seat in the bus shelter. It looked like that was the last one. After a long night doing a gig, this is the last thing he wanted.

He slumped off his bag pack which had his music equipment in and lay back against the seat, slowly starting to drift off.

*Zzzz*

Lucas was slowly awoken by strong rays of sunlight beating onto his face. He opened his eyes quickly. Had he slept in the bus shelter the whole night?! He quickly turned to examine his surroundings.

To his surprise there was no bus shelter, no local shops, nothing. Nothing that he knew or could associate himself too. Instead he saw beautiful landscapes which almost seemed surreal.

“Where the hell am I?.....” he asked himself

All of a sudden he saw three small almost blob like creatures seemingly messing around by his bag pack on the floor. All three seemed to be different in appearance, one was more of a green slime, one a green blob with a leaf above his head and a the last one was baby blue with a huge grin on his face.

“Am I tripping? Did someone spike my drink last night?” Lucas was more confused than he ever had been.

Upon looking down again he had noticed that the creatures were gone, as was his bag. He stood up and saw them jumping off in the distance with his bag as they all struggled to push it. He got up and followed, the little blobs, not like they were gonna outrun him anyway.

After what seemed like a few hours he could see what looked like more people up ahead. As they approached he nervously waved.

“Erm, did you guys miss the last night bus too or am I really losing my mind here?” He said to which the baby blue blob flinged a device at his head.

“OW! First you steal my bag now this?” Lucas exclaimed.

As Lucas inspected the small square device he started pushing every button.
“How do you turn it on?” He asked before pressing something that beeped.

Out of nowhere the three strange blobs flashed with light before transforming into more developed creatures. Lucas was in awe.

“Finally the slow one has worked it out. Now we can speak to you. I am DemiVeemon. This is Tanemon and this is...” DemiVeemon was cut off by the last creature.

“...and I am Minomon, glad to be at your service!” The last cried happily.

Lucas looked around at everyone else who seemed to be coping better than he was with the situation.

“You guys can’t be ok with this right? I mean what is this place?” Lucas asked.
*RESERVE POST FROM PHONE, WILL EDIT LATER*

Name: Lucas Black
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Appearance: [Written description or picture.]

Personality:
Lucas is very much a creative thinker, you could easily tell this if you knew him, he was always writing new comedy sketches or creating new music. Both music and comedy are his greatest joys in life. Upbeat and mischievous, Lucas really tries to squeeze the most out of everyday he can. A very happy go lucky guy.

Short Biography:

After three years of studying at college, Lucas has finally finished his degree in Performance based studies. Currently he spends a lot of time on the streets busking and as little time at home as possible.

He does this not just for the money (which he is saving for his younger sister Belle to go to college), but also because his family life is a mess. His dad walked out on him when he was young and now a new step father makes his once childhood house, a living hell.

His anger towards the subject is masked by his easily deployed positive attitudes

Digimon 1: Chibomon
Digimon 2: Leafmon

Aro walked outside the poke centre with Lark and Kjolmar. As they got back outside into the somewhat orange stone like town, Aro felt the heat of the sun beating down on them. Aro took his long black jacket off also, something that he hadn’t felt was nessecary for any of the previous gym leaders. It was almost like a warning that he wasn’t going to hold back in this battle.

As Kjolmar got into place, Bede casually walked up to the old etched out arena square that the others had started to set up in.

“PEOPLE OF STOW-ON-SIDE, PREPARE TO SEE MYSELF, THE GREAT GYM CHALLENGER BEDE, BEAT THREE LOSERS AT ONCE.” Bede shouted out for the locals to hear, smirking at Aro whilst doing so.

Aro smiles back and walked into his Corner with Luna firmly stood before him. Aro hadn’t taken a battle this seriously since his last farewell battle with Kjolmar, except this time he was proving his worth to two new trainers as well as Kjolmar.

“One Pokemon each remember, last man standing right?” He said to Bede as he got ready in his own corner.

Bede nodded and pulled out his pokeball.

“Go Ponyta, let’s beat these chumps!” He said as a bright light revealed his Pokemon.

Aro could see this Ponyta was different, a Galatian variant, but wasn’t sure its typings. It made him feel uneasy.

“Ready when you are Lark...?” Aro asked his friend
Aro turned to Kjolmar as he spoke after Bede left. He smiled slightly at his friends comments before speaking up himself.

“I’m sorry to have dragged you two into this, I just really wanted to shut that guy up.” He apologised

He then looked at Luna who nodded at him knowing what Aro needed him for next.

“I think my best bet is to use Luna, considering we know Bede has beaten four gyms already he must be relatively strong and not knowing what Pokemon he will use makes me more reluctant to use Shade right now.” Aro explained

He looked at Shade who seemed to be feeling down after Bede’s harsh words. Aro felt bad, Shade had proved that she was an asset to his team in the previous gyms. Aro knew he had to make Bede pay for his words towards shade, but for now Aro comforted Shade.

“Don’t listen to him, your the strongest Dreepy I’ve ever seen! You will prove him wrong soon” Aro said to Shade
As the gang entered the Pokecenter, Aro watched as Lark made himself at home, finding a corner of the open space and sprawling himself out along several seats whilst still somehow not taking his gaze off his phone. Aro shook his head and chuckled as he made his way over and sat down.

“I’ve been thinking about these gyms and honestly my team has pros and cons against both leaders. I think Luna and Shade will do fine regardless...” Aro trailed off as the noise behind him seemed to get louder.

He looked behind him to see Challenger Bede had finally touched down in Stow-on-side. His smug grin gleamed from his face as he walked up to the counter.

“Not this guy again, he’s just so... annoying” Aro said with a sigh.

It wasn’t long before Bede had noticed the gang and headed towards them.

“Hey losers, I see the other gym leaders must have taken pity on you if you’ve gotten this far...” Bede said before looking at Shade who was hovering around Aro. “You still have two Pokemon and it doesn’t look like your dreepy is getting any stronger.” Bede laughed as he continued

Aros fist clenched tighter as his anger built towards the cocky challenger, suddenly he felt Luna trying to calm him down in his head. Aro knew Luna was right and stood up. He turned to Bede and looked him straight in the eye.

“We were about to have a friendly triple battle as a group, how about we make it a four way battle and a little less friendly? One Pokemon each, last Pokemon standing wins. Unless of course...” Aro paused and looked Bede up and down. “...Rose was wrong about you?”

Bede’s face went from pure white to a deep red as Aro spoke, he had clearly had a few buttons pressed. His breathing became heavy and his whole body began to shake in anger.

“Meet me outside in 10 minutes, you guys won’t know what’s coming for you.” Bede replied before storming out of the pokecenter in a violent rage.

Aro turned to the group and shrugged.

“Seriously... that guy!” He shook his head as he noticed a few people looking at him.
Aro had to admit that he has interested in Kjolmars suggestion of a triple battle between Luna, Neo and Shutter. Triple battles were something that Aro had very little experience in, and added another layer of competitiveness to the situation. For one, both Luna and Aro hated losing to new challengers more than anything. Considering Aro had battled Kjolmar enough before and lost to him on several occasions, he and Luna now had something else to prove to Lark and Shutter.

“I’m down for a triple battle if you were up for it Lark?”

As they entered Stow-on-Side the landscape changed dramatically, an almost sandstone and terracotta town lay before them. Shade instantly went floating off to explore. Aro looked at Luna.

“Go keep an eye on Shade for me buddy, make sure she stays out of trouble. I’ll meet you at the Poké Center.”

Luna nodded and followed shade off as a chaparon. Aro watched knowing that although Shades curiosity worried him, he knew Luna was more than capable of protecting her. It always helped that Luna could communicate to Aro if anything went wrong. He then caught up to the others.

“So how about we head to the Poké Center? Then we can prep for our battle before the next gym?” Aro asked his companions as the sun gleemed across their new destination.
Aro walked around Hammerlocke staring at his three gym badges so far. He knew that the easy part of this challenge was over, going onwards he expected much harder opponents. Although Shade has been surprising Aro with his battle skills, he had to admit that Luna had done most of the heavy lifting so far.

He saw that Neo felt a similar way to Luna. Aro could sense that Luna was missing an exciting sort of spark to his battling, that made him think on his toes. This was the only problem with being as experienced as Neo and Luna were, they always strived for stronger opposition.

“I have an idea, Stow-on-side has two gyms right? But you only chose to fight one of the leaders there. How about Luna and Neo have a battle before we challenge for badge four? Winner chooses theirs and the losers gym leader? It might be a way to get you both a friendly but even battle in.” Aro suggested to Neo and Kjolmar.

Shade appeared on Aro’s shoulder from out of nowhere, as per usual slightly making Aro jump.
“How am I not use to that by now?” He chuckled.
Shade seemed to be somewhat jealous of Luna and Neo, it was like he admired them both like battling idols. Aro could tell that Shade wanted to be just as strong as them, her own unstoppable force.
Aro, who had been mainly silent on the way to Turfield, had been strategising a plan for the first gym. He knew it would be the easiest one to obtain but the lack of experience on Shades part made him worry about how the gym challenge would go.

Kjolmar went up first to challenge Milo after they had completed the first Gym Mission. Aro watched as Kjolmar made quick work out of Milos Pokemon. Aro and Luna smiled as the crowd roared for Kjolmar.

“The crowd love him...” he said to Luna. “....wait till they get a load of us!” He continued as he nodded to Luna before he walked into the arena as they were being introduced.

Before he knew it, Aro’s battle was underway. He lead out with Shade who surprised everyone with how quick and nimble she could be, with her speed and good use of infestation she was able to knock the first two Pokemon out before falling finally to Milo’s Eldegoss.

Aro smiled as he sent out a Dynamaxed Luna which was able to easily overpower Milo’s Dynamaxed Eldegoss. A final Max Steelspike was enough to send Milos ace back to his trainer.

Finally, he had the first badge, their Galar journey had started properly. He made his way to stands and found Kjolmar as they both settled down to watch Lark.
Although Kjolmar has his criticisms of the gym leaders, the opening ceremony made Aro realise one thing. The sheer turnout of spectators for these events surely meant that these battles were unmissable, meaning he bet none of the gym leaders were pushovers.

When the three of them had regrouped outside the stadium, the immediate conversation was about the first gym challenge hurdle; Milo.

“Yeah, I think we all have a good chance to be honest, Although I’m really keen to see Shade’s battling potential. I know she has one move that is an advantage in the first gym but where she might not have the type advantage in hoping she can make it up in how stealthy she is.” Aro said.

As if she was listening in on the conversation, Shade came out of nowhere to surprise both Kjolmar and Lark. Aro laughed as Shade then came to rest on Aro’s head.

“See what I mean? As much as I can rely on Luna, he understands that he’s gonna need strong teammates to rely on too.” Aro said as Luna nodded in agreement.

“I guess if we’re all ready we ahead towards the mines, I head we can cut through there to get to the next city.” He suggested.
Aro smiled as the rather skittish trainer explained who he was. Aro was reminded back to the days of his first adventure when he was nervous for almost anything.

“Lark is it? Nice to meet you” Aro said as he responded to the avid photographer.

“Shutter eh? That’s a great name for her.” He said as he watched the Venomoth try and stay calm.

“I have a proposal Lark. I assume you were planning on doing the gym challenge alone?” Aro said as he looked around for anyone else who maybe with Lark “ If that is the case, how about you travel the challenge with me and Kjolmar? I’d really like some photo memories of the Galar region. Me and Kjolmar have been companions for a while now and we’ve never had a photo together. In return I can pay you for your time and also you will get some kickass company I promise...” he chuckled. “So what do you say?” He asked Lark.

Suddenly a loud female voice could be heard through the intercoms.

“CAN ALL GYM CHALLENGE PARTICIPANTS PLEASE GET SEATED IN MOTOSTOKE STADIUM. THE OPENING CEREMONY IS ABOUT TO BEGIN.”

Aro turned to Kjolmar and their Pokemon.
“I guess we best get going, Lark are you coming too? Or will we see you later?” He said as he started to check he had all his belongings.
