Late, I'm going to be so late. Dan thought as his shoes pounded on the pavement. He just had to drink another smoothie. Sure, on the first day it would be important to keep his calorie count as high as possible. If there were any tests involving his quirk it would be almost completely necessary. Even so, he could have just woken up early enough to compensate...Of course, this was a case of hindsight being twenty twenty.

Upon arriving in the hallway, Dan saw a winged girl walked into the classroom. He peeked through the doorway as she walked to search for any unoccupied seats. He was probably late, so if he could blink in, it might be possible to play it off as though he had been there for a while.

Unfortunately as he was deciding on a spot, a loud trap of some sort was set off in the door. He lost focus and blinked into the seat he had been considering. If he hadn't been startled, everything would have been fine...Of course, that wasn't the case. He quickly realized that he was in fact standing on top of the seat instead of sitting, and that he wasn't exactly prepared to be in such a position. He quickly toppled from his spot and sprawled onto the floor sputtering.

My Hero Academia: The Next Generation

Name:Dan Akita

Gender: male

Age (14-16): 15

Appearance (include height and weight):

My Hider

Height: 5'7
Weight: 142

Costume:

My Hider

Personality: Dan pretends to be much more laidback than he actually is. In reality, he's usually quite nervous. Despite a few misunderstandings, he's far from perverted. In fact, when in less than savory situations he's known to become quite flustered.

Quirk: Blink- Dan can teleport short distances leaving a short blue trail. His ability runs drains calories depending on the distance traveled. From what he can guess, the rate is approximately ten calories per meter.

Quirk Flaws (Are permanent and cannot be bypassed): If Dan is too hungry, his quirk is essentially useless. Unless he's absolutely starving he can still blink a few inches at a time, though that isn't likely to help.

Quirk Limitations (That can be worked on and improved): Blink is usually fairly reliable, though doing it in quick succession is a challenge. The kind of spatial awareness it takes to teleport without looking is definitely a hard earned skill. The calorie issue is also easily solved through almost constant eating. Dan can also lose control of his ability if he's too flustered, occasionally teleporting him to less than fortunate places (IE: the girl's locker room once)

--Optional information--

The reason they want to be a hero:

Backstory: Dan had a normal childhood until he turned four and his Quirk revealed itself. At first, nobody knew what was going on. Randomly throughout the day his clothes would be on the floor and he would be a few feet away confused. A few days later, one of the teachers saw him vanish leaving his clothes and a small blue trail of light through the wall.

It took a few years, but eventually Dan managed to control his teleportation and even move from one place to another with his clothes on. During school hours he rarely used his quirk as he was self conscious about eating so much. Eventually, he moved past that hang up and began carrying snacks regularly.

Likes: Cheese, meat, people(not as food), comedy.

Dislikes: Horror, hunger, anything that makes him sick.

Skills: Dan's fighting style is a mix between self taught and imitating videos he sees online. While he's pretty sloppy, Blink makes up for it most of the time. Because of his quirk, he is also almost unrivaled when it comes to slight of hand.

He's also a pretty decent cook, though everything he consumes has a high calorie count.

@OtomostheCrazy Well, just let us know when you're ready for the fight.

Oi Oi, @olcharlieboi old pal. Is this still open?

@OtomostheCrazy Still planning on having Deneb challenging the gym soon?

Rheese Laudat

Outside

@LuckyBlackCat@fer1323

Rheese had won, and at first it seemed to be a pretty hollow victory. Though, given what Lan had said it was easier to look at it as more of a stepping stone. He wasn't quite as weak as he had thought, in fact he had added a Pokemon to his team that practically made the battle fairly easy. Minior wasn't exactly well trained, sure, but it was starting to listen and clearly had already bonded with him a fair bit. Even if its shows of affection weren't exactly great for Rheese's lifespan.

Without another word, Rheese left the gym and had Cottonee and Minior healed. Despite the latter not taking much damage, Rheese would have been irresponsible to not heal it.

Upon exiting the pokemon center, Rheese spotted Sophia and Oscar walking with a lady he hadn't seen before. He quickly ran up to the group, but not before shoving his newly acquired badge into his pocket. It wouldn't exactly be courteous to shove the badge in Sophia's face after her previous loss.

"Sophia, Oscar, wait up!" He shouted after them as he sprinted. He wasn't about to be left behind when they could be embarking on another adventure.

"Those fires are...well, they're a common site in places with links to the ghost world." Rachel said, keeping herself from mentioning the likely fuel for such flames. "Though I question the likelihood that a gate could go completely unnoticed in a place like this. Lan almost definitely knows it's here...though why he'd hide that information is puzzling for sure. It's good that you have that Gengar around, it seems quite powerful. While I'm confident I could keep you all safe, any extra measure of security is welcome in my book!"

Rachel took note of any landmarks that Gengar had illuminated, though to her surprise it seemed that the group was near some kind of massive door covered in carvings that Rachel couldn't make out clearly from there. One's first intuition would likely be to assume the door was the gateway to the ghost world mentioned beforehand, though Rachel could confidently say otherwise. It seemed more like the entrance to some subterranean structure given the load-bearing columns on either side, a feature that a gate to another plane wouldn't need.

Rachel ventured close to the structure and examined every square inch as well as the surrounding area. It seemed that this door was the only way in or out of whatever this place was...And the only way to open the door seemed to be a strange lock mechanism with a slot that resembled a fire of some sort. She seemed disappointed at this revelation, as it meant the end of this scouting expedition. While any of her pokemon could very easily smash through a door like that, it would be an almost unacceptable action. No, she would need to return with a full crew and more precise tools for excavation so as not to risk a cave-in or destroy something accidentally.

Besides, she needed to have a talk with the local normal type gym leader. Such a spiritual man being oblivious to this kind of activity was beyond suspicious, if it was simply off limits he would have let her know before allowing her to spelunk freely...No, something else was at play.

"Well..." Rachel said, her hands falling to her sides. Explaining that the trip was going to have to end just as soon as things were getting good was never fun. "I know how disappointing this is going to be, trust me...but it's about time to head back. We've made an incredible find, but pressing forward is going to require a key of some sort or a set of equipment I didn't think to bring along."

Rheese Laudat

vs

Lan Sohai

Mesalon Gym

"I will admit, you are not the first person of your group I expected today." Lan said as he stood up to face the challenger. "Though I can tell by the look in your eyes that whatever happened yesterday has pushed you to grow as a trainer. Let us hope that it is in the right direction."

"I...It had to." Rheese said, shaking slightly now that the moment had come. It was time to prove to himself that he wasn't the hindrance Ray's words had made him believe. Despite his body language, there was a steeled look of determination in his eyes.

The referee, one of Lan's students, stood at the middle of the arena. After he explained the rules of a standard three versus three pokemon battle, both sides decided on the Pokemon that would kick the event off.

"Cottonee!" Rheese shouted as he threw the Pokeball to reveal the small ball of cotton.

"To the front Doduo." Lan stated calmly as the Pokeball in his hand opened. The two headed flying/normal type emerged immediately. Aside from the difference in size, the type difference made Rheese a quite a bit less confident.

Even so, he couldn't back down now. Cottonee however, wasn't phased in the slightest by the match up. She smiled up at the doduo as though it was a simple play date.

"Cottonee, use leech seed!" Rheese commanded, snapping the grass type out of her friendly demeanor. A burst of seeds covered Doduo and began sapping its health.

"Doduo, Aerial ace." Lan said. The attack struck Cottonee and sent her spiralling upwards. The fact that she held on through the attack was surprising in and of itself, but it likely wouldn't be enough.

"Strike back with fairy wind!" Rheese yelled. Cottonee's attack was clearly less effective than its opponent's, but combining it with the leech seed was still fairly formidable.

"Finish them with another Aerial ace." The command came, signalling the end of the first round. Cottonee was launched directly into Rheese's arms. The unconscious pokemon twitched slightly.

"You did good, I couldn't have asked for more." Rheese said giving Cottonee a quick pat and returning her to her ball. "Minior, your opponent's weak! Let's go!" Rheese shouted as he threw Minior's ball. As he should have expected, the spherical pokemon launched itself directly at him. By now, however, Rheese's reaction time with his Pokemon had improved drastically. He sidestepped Minior's assault and caught the Pokemon before it had the chance to resume its assault. "I'm happy to see you too Minior, but we're in the middle of a battle. I need you to focus up." Rheese whispered right next to Minior clearly calming it down. This was his ace in the hole, the Pokemon that had the clearest advantage against everything Rheese had seen Lan use...It was stupid to rely on type advantage so heavily, but he was already behind in this battle and he needed anything he could get.

"Hmm? A good choice of typing for this battle, though it's clear your Minior's training is lacking." Lan said, earning a glare from his opponent.

"Minior, use rollout!" Rheese shouted, not dignifying Lan's accusation with a response. Minior launched itself at the opposing Doduo and plowed through it with little resistance. The red glow of it returning to Lan's Pokeball made Rheese smile slightly. In one move, Minior had both evened the score and retaliated to Lan's statement.

"Go, Furfrou." Lan said, clearly unphased by the Doduo's defeat. Immediately, Minior changed course and hurtled towards the new opponent with gusto. "Cotton guard." Lan said just before the Pokemon impacted causing the rock type to glance off of Furfrou. The defensive move certainly lessened the damage, but anyone could see that the move was still fairly effective. If this went on and Minior continued gaining momentum however, it would eventually push through.

"Keep going Minior!" Rheese encouraged his Pokemon. It felt a little cheap to bulldoze through like this, in fact it felt very cheap. It wasn't the battle he had hoped for at all. He wasn't winning as a result of his training, he was using a 'strategy' that relied solely on Minior and not his other Pokemon.

In little to no time, Furfrou was finished and Lan's Munchlax was all that remained. "Munchlax, use zen headbutt." Lan commanded. The bright energy that surrounded the normal type's head collided with Minior's rollout causing an impressive shockwave that launched both Pokemon backwards. Minior rose back into the air in a few seconds, its shell cracked and crumbling. It quickly shook off the rocky coating and began spinning up once more. Munchlax picked itself up as well, the bluish pokemon scratched its head where the attacks had collided before reaching behind it to reveal a sitrus berry that it scarfed down immediately.

Despite the additional health, the next collision ended the fight in Minior's favor. With that, the battle was over. Rheese had won, though he wasn't happy with the method. If Lan was displeased by his loss, his face didn't betray it at all. The stone cold stoicism he had shown in previous battles carried on as he handed Rheese his badge.

"I can sense your unease with such a victory." Lan said, forcing Rheese to look up. "It's not unfounded, your victory was a display of your minior's strength not your own."

The already hollow feeling victory being punctuated like that by the gym leader stung. It would've been easy to shrug off if he hadn't already been thinking it.

"Though, that should be the furthest thought from your mind." Lan said, confusing Rheese. "You cannot raise your Pokemon properly if you compare your own performance to theirs. Instead of chastising yourself, you should be praising your Pokemon. Your Cottonee performed admirably, and despite its behavior, your Minior has quite a bit of potential. Remember this moving forward."

@Dusksong@LuckyBlackCat@AbysmalDemon@Noxx

Eventually the group reached a sort of archway at the end of the tunnel. It seemed to double as both decoration and a load bearing support. Rachel motioned for the young trainers behind her to stop as she advanced. Supports like these would often hold traps or other means of deterring intruders.

She inspected the intricate carvings carefully as she replicated them to the best of her ability in her notes. As she did, she saw the slightest bit of Cradilly's light reflect off of a string at the bottom. Her mind immediately raced with possibilities as she traced the tripwire to the source. Once she found the mechanism it was attached to, she grew quite concerned to see that it was attached to some barrels. The easiest assumption to make was that the barrels would explode once triggered and the tunnel would collapse... Though, upon closer inspection it seemed that someone or something had already disarmed the trap.

Rachel sighed in relief and wiped some sweat from her brow. Something like this could have been disastrous if a trainer would have wandered into these caves and stumbled over this unknowingly. Still, the possibilities of another explorer having delved this deep were intriguing to say the least.

As an extra measure, Rachel snipped the wire and continued forward offering a nod back to the trainers behind her. The path through the archway opened up to a what appeared to simply be a massive cavern. However, once Cradily emerged from the tunnel behind Rachel it was revealed to be much more incredible. It seemed that the cave they had entered through was a mere escape tunnel connecting to what was once a massive underground highway of sorts. On Rachel's left what appeared to be a large road extended as far as she could see, though on her right it appeared that a large portion of the ceiling had collapsed to block the path.

Rachel's jaw practically hit the floor at the discovery. Purple flames sat upon pedestals lining the sides of the road and dimly lighting the path. She reached for her Pokenav to contact Kraterdesh's gym leader. Purple flames like these weren't natural, they generally used souls or other supernatural sources for fuel...And of course he would probably be quite interested to hear about this.

Unfortunately, she was completely unable to receive a signal from this depth so it was kind of a moot point. Instead, she let the rest of her Pokemon out of their balls as an extra security measure. Archeops took to the air above the group and Tyranitar walked right beside Rachel. A few ghost Pokemon lurked, clearly interested in the group, yet not brave enough to challenge one of the gym leader's Pokemon that vigilantly watched every direction. It was clear that this wasn't their first time dealing with such a situation. Even so, Rachel clasped her keystone. She knew it was irresponsible to keep going with these fledgling trainers, but there was something close...Perhaps her adventurous side was simply getting the best of her.

"Everybody stay close." She said simply.
