Hah, and just like that their victory was claimed. With a smile and a wink, Cyril performed a pirouette and extended one of his arms out to the side... which Cation seemed to freely hang onto without a care in the world, "Shiiiiiiiiiiiiii~!" Now it was time to get some answers from th-
"H-hey, wait a sec," Cyril suddenly exclaimed as he quickly scrambled around and stumbled forward a bit, calling out to the two virtue grunts as they both darted off. Still, that was... annoying. Cyril could only pout as the duo fled from him and Chloe, leaving a victorious young lady and her stylish compadre behind.
For the long look on his face, it wasn't going to last long as a happy little Aster wobbled on over to him, bouncing in glee as he cried out, "Fwee, fweeeee!" That certainly quashed any sorts of negative vibes as he shined a small smile to his partner, "Nice work out there lil' Buddy, you, Buneary, Growlithe and Pidgey sure put on a wondrous performance."
And of course, he didn't forget his other partner as well as he stood up and glanced over to her with a thumbs up as Cation blissfully hung on his arm, with Mimi peering over nervously, "Hapi?"
And aye, indeed we did Missy; you did a great job taking control of the battle at times and formulating your own strat," Cyril proclaimed, grinning widely at the lass before peering off in the direction those two grunts ran off in before slightly wincing, "But beyond that win I am a bit worried about a couple of things." He could only ruffle his hair as he stared blankly at the ground, lost in a couple of thoughts.
"Sure they never got our names but our faces is another story," Cyril grumbled to himself as he felt Aster rest against his leg, "and based on my limited knowledge of Amethyst, I am a bit worried about what they could be doing with some of the Pokémon in this forest." Cyril merely sighed crossing one arm over whilst propping his other arm on top of it to rest his head as he rubbed at his chin.
And then Cyril snapped his fingers, "So, how about one more decision from our future champ? You wanna figure out what's going on with those Amethyst chumps, or head back to town for some shopping or put that on hold for now?"

Alright, now here was her grand slam of a plan! Cyril merely watched as the Pidgey took Aster out of range of the attacks as well as the frantic wiggling of his partners legs. Despite the planning, most of his other friends seemed a little worried for the safety of their friend, especially with a panicky Mimi tugging at his pants.
"Ha... hap, h-hapi?" She posed this question to Cyril, staring up at him with those big round eyes of hers as she alternated between that and Aster being hoisted into the air. This prompted Cyril to give the Happiny a gentle smile as he crouched down and scooped her into his arms, positioning herself by the much more curious Cation.
Who then proceeded to lick her face.
"Happhtthphhth," she could barely get a word out before giggling a little at Cations antics as she found it somewhat ticklish. That got a chuckle out of Cyril, "Heh, well, no need to worry Mimi, Aster will be fiiiine," he calmly proclaimed to her over the frustrated voices of the Virtue grunts.
"Pidgey isn't gonna drop him!... yet."
Despite the calm they all felt moments before, they were left with stunted silence as Mimi was extremely flustered, wiggling around constantly in his arms. Velvet was a lot more relaxed, but giving him this sort of "really" look, eyebrows up and frown to boot. And Cation, well, was being Cation.
Aster on the other hand was a smidge pale from hearing that. Dropped?! From this height?! There was no way he was serious! The Pidgey most likely felt Asters buds tightening around their claws, as if praying to some god that they would not let go, "FWEEEEE!" As exciting and heart stopping as this was, he was starting to lean more into the former as he stared directly at the two enemies.
"Uh, Missy, you do have other commands other than to send Pidgey out, right?" Cyril turned his head, still looking quite collected, albeit a little laid back as he tilted his head a little. "Right," OK, now he was a little worried, despite it only be evident in his slightly wavering voice and flickering eyeballs between her and her partner.
Clearing his throat, he took a deep breath before breathing out and leaning in to whisper to her, "I know I said I was gonna leave it to you, but your Pidgey looks ready to drop him. Don't go for that just yet," he hissed, looking back up to the two Pokémon in midair.
"Instead have him soar around the attack and while the Spheal is recovering, get Budew in close to do a quick Absorb and get out," Cyril rapidly jabbered out this plan, relaying it as quickly as possible before she left it to her Pidgey.
"Have him hide around the trees and use that as cover, but also try to have him come from either an odd angle or from behind those two," Cyril continued his instructions before pointing and wiggling his index finger between their opponents. "Then you can have Pidgey chuck Budew directly at the Spheal and leave them little time to react. Maybe after the first hit and run you could direct your partner on where to go by doing stunted pointing so they struggle to follow along?"
With that set of advice out of the way, Cyril partially felt he was helping a little too much right now, but maybe that could be sorted out later. For now, he merely watched and waited for when it was his and Asters time to play their roles.

"Er, uuuhh, yeah," Cyril awkwardly chuckled as he glanced to the side as a small sweat droplet formed on the side of his face. Right, she had a cute lil' Pidgey. "Yeah, faint is probably a better term," he gently murmured to her. Smooth Cyril. Regardless, he could apologize to her later as he returned his attention to the battle as Chloe followed along with his plan.
Cyril merely observed what was going on before shaking his head with a wry smile on his face as the man brought his own partner to a screeching halt, skidding and digging its body into the dirt, leaving it not only paralyzed but basically embedded in the ground. Yeah, it was little more than a turret until it dug itself out... or someone else did.
That dry smile only seemed to grow wider as he gloated, unaware of what was to come as Chloe announced their own plan in tandem whilst Cyril nodded as well. "Also, what are you talking about," he tilted his head as he put an index finger to his lip inquisitively.
"Your partner did hurt your ally!" As he bellowed this, he held one arm out before snapping his fingers with it whilst holding his other hand up, wide open and nearby his face, "Missy, have Growlithe grab the Spheal with a Bite and toss them directly at Grimer, Budew, assist Growlithe in tossing Spheal with your buds!"
Until he issued that attack, Velvet was staring at him in bewilderment, pondering on what alternate reality Cyril was living in before uttering a single "Bun." While that was going on Cyril deftly swooped down and scooped up Cation into his arms, prompting the little Shinx to not only paw at his face for a little bit, but remember who he was talking with and now paw at her.
"Shiiiiii!"
While that small tangle was going on, Aster peered behind him and nodded to Cyril whilst taking a gander at his unfurling bud. He had no idea if he was going to be as physically adept as the Growlithe but he had to try as he puffed out his chest, stuck his tongue out at the two opposing trainers and ran over to assist Growlithe.
Should there be some success, the duo would heave the Spheal together and hopefully make him take the brunt of the poison, if not all of them whilst having its fat body slam directly into the Grimer, dealing some damage to it in the process. Following this success, if it was, Cyril smirked as he began rubbing his chin before eyeing Chloe briefly.
"A'ight, since the Spheal is poisoned and both our partners are speedier than these two, I've got a handful of other strategies up my sleeve," he extended his arm once again and tugged on his sleeve in an exaggerated manner with his other hand before chuckling and placing a hand on his hip, "Whaddya feel like going for, safe and slow but boring, or fun and fast but risky?"
"Hah, fair enough! No shame in discretion," he gave a gentle, understanding smile to the girl as he looked at Growlithe and Aster before looking back to the paralyzed Spheal and Grimer. "It's time I teach you the J-... Gostars secret family technique, a technique so powerful it could shake the very foundations of society!"
Cyril, using his free hand slapped the side of his legs, his face suddenly gone cold and serious, causing some tonal whiplash as Cation wondered what was wrong, Mimi shivered a little, and Velvet wondered what was going to happen this time with a less than impressed glance. "We, or rather Growlithe and Budew, are going to use their legs."
"Missy, follow my lead!" There was some small giggling under his breath as he pointed towards Aster.
"Budew... run away!" And there it was. The biggest slap in the face that probably confused the heck out of Aster as he spun around and raised an eyebrow. Why run now? Regardless, Aster kept his faith and did his best to sprint away from his opponents. Beyond just distancing themselves, the plan as well was simple.
"And furthermore take the hit for Growlithe if it uses Water Gun," Cyril nudged Chloe as he turned his attention over to her and murmured, "As for you, if you hear them say Powdered Snow have Growlithe take the hit for Budew."
"Hah, alright, lets bring this to a close with some flair," he announced before holding a hand to his mouth and winking while pointing an index finger at their partners. "Swap out Growlithe for Pidgey, Budew distance yourself from those two for now."
Aster was expecting them both to just wail on the Spheal until it fainted, but hey, hopefully this would be a lot funner as the Budew perked up and swiftly sprinted away from the two while they were still in a daze.
Why did he have a feeling he was either going to love or hate heights after this?
Once the swap in was completed, Cyril merely struck a pose as he stretched one arm high into the air, pointing past the canopy of the trees, nay, past the heavens! Brandishing his canines with a smirk he bore his plan in full view of the world, "Alright, Missy, have Pidgey pick up Budew and have him fly around with him, Aster use your buds to hold on tight and Absorb when I say so!"
"Fwee?!" Wait what?! Oh no, he was serious. This plan sounded ridiculous as he felt his little heart beating at a hundred miles an hour and furthermore there was no time to negotiate as the Pidgey had already picked him up with their claws.
Aster's legs wobbled and wiggled in midair as he was taken off the ground and peered about the vicinity. He didn't know whether to feel exhilarated or scared. Probably both. "I'll let you decide when its best to strike, but make sure you utilize the trees for cover to avoid their attacks, especially the Spheals."

"Aye aye Missy! Buneary, return," Cyril gave a wry grin as he retrieved her Pokéball and gave it a click before chucking it in the air. Red energy enveloped the Buneary as static coursed around her body as she warped back into the ball. As Velvet was returning into the soaring Pokéball, Cyril did a pirouette as Aster stood up on his partner's shoulder, looking to balance himself.
"And now, looks like it's your time to shine," he exclaimed as he held one of his arms out as Aster began dashing down it, albeit somewhat wobbly as a result of not being too used to the brisk whirl of his partner. The moment he reached the end of his hand was when Cyril finished spinning as Aster crouched on the back of his hand. With a combination of the Budew's small jump and the momentum of his hand, he sent Aster flying through the air with... some success.
"FWEEEEEEEEEEE!" Aster could only cry out in surprise, anticipation, fear, but most of all, he sounded plenty excited. While him flipping through the air wasn't exactly his idea, the Budew just did his best to play it off as well as he could since it would look extremely cool for the dashing Phantom Thief!
Just ignore the fact that his tiny legs were wriggling frantically in a panic as he soared through the air. Of course, while he was about to stick the landing in a couple of seconds, there was also the Pokéball Velvet was stored in began tumbling downwards, back to the loamy earth. Cyril was on top of things as he stuck an arm up, hand wide open to catch the ball.
Of course, due to being totally stylish, it descended straight into the palm of his hand. Hah, just as expected~. Clicking the ball open, he held it towards his shoulder as a red glow began to envelop one of his shoulders as a somewhat roughed up Velvet found herself sitting there, wincing a little as static coursed around her. She couldn't help but give Cyril a slight glare before her visage soften the moment he gently patted and scritched her head.
"Good work out there; you gave us quite the glamorous performance," he softly smiled at her before she gave a light tap to his face with one of her ears. It was somewhat slow, albeit jittery but it did give him a little static shock, causing him to flinch a little. "Ayckphth," he reacted a little in surprise, which elicited a small giggle from Velvet and a fake, annoyed pout from Cyril...
... whose facade faded away almost instantly before coming back to the battlefield.
While he was doing that, it appeared Aster had stuck the landing! Well, more or less. Looked a bit roughed up and teetering a little, attempting to re-balance himself, but for the most part, he did it. The moment he was properly on his own two feet again, he puffed his little chest, giving a victorious little "Budeeeeee," with Mimi giggling and giving Aster a little encouraging cheer, "Hap, hapi!"
The little Bud spun his body and shone a smile at her before turning to face their opponents. Alright, now what did Cyril want him to do?
Clicking his tongue, he gave a cheerful little smirk as he snapped his fingers as Cation pawed at his legs, attempting to get Velvet's attention, "Excellent work Missy," he praised the girl before shifting his eyes back to the field.
"While he's going to keep rolling until that move ends, it perfectly sets us up for our next lesson," if he could recall, the fact that it was paralyzed would slow it down its move. Holding his arm out, Cyril rolled his fingers before snapping his fingers.
"Budew, run directly at the Grimer, Missy have Growlithe follow behind Budew," he bellowed out with a large smile on his face, "trust me on this, we should be able to kill two Pidgeys with one Rock Tomb."
Dang, smooth saying there Cyril, gotta write that down somewhere later as he waited for Chloe to issue the command to her own partner. Aster on the other hand decided to not look too bewildered and trusted his partner as he dashed directly towards the Grimer. "Budeee, fweeee," he cried triumphantly out as he felt his little heart beat into his head.
Assuming Growlithe follows directly behind Aster, Cyril was banking on leading the Spheal directly behind the duo instead of splitting them off. To him, the plan was to not only root their little spherical Spheal in place with the gooey glop of the Grimer, but to hurt the Grimer as well. Hopefully these two grunts didn't pick up on the plan too quickly, but hey, there were contingencies in case this failed.
But for now, he had to relay the next part of the plan as he leaned in close to Chloe and whispered, "Alright, on my mark, have Growlithe jump to the left." Looks like it was closing in soon. Whether or not the Grimer attacked Aster and managed to damage him, that just meant it was staying in place, but ideally it would end up attacking the Spheal as it barreled toward the group.
Should this strategy begin to bear fruit Cyril would then command, "Now Budew, jump to the right!" Aster would follow up with diving to the side and doing a little roll before tumbling back onto his little feet with hopefully Growlithe doing the same as the Spheal would potentially ram straight into the much slower Grimer.
Once that occurred, Cyril would place a hand on his hip while the other two's Pokémon were caught in a bit of a daze before issuing an attack, "Now, time for an all out attack on this Spheal, Aster, Absorb!"
As much as Hibiki wanted to sleep like a baby, his dreams were plagued with that same gruesome scene with the aftermath set onto replay. Sure, he managed to handle it well in the courtroom, but when left to his lonesome, he couldn't stop seeing it all happen.
It lead him to waking up much earlier than anticipated, causing him to stare up at the roof of this cabin for god knows how long. The world was much more blurrier than usual, though the fact that he wasn't wearing glasses probably didn't help out with that too much as he decided to close his eyes and reflect on the events that had happened.
"What exactly did Flare want to talk about with those two anyways," that was something that remained on his mind as he just lied on his mattress, running through the scenarios, before opening his eyes as the monitor in the cabin flickered and fizzled to life. Hibiki didn't even bother staring at the monochromatic bear as he made his announcement.
Scooting off the bed, the young man stretched and stifled a yawn or a brief moment as he grabbed his glasses and began wiping them off with his shirt before getting dressed and ready for the day. As much as he didn't want to stick his nose where it didn't belong, he felt there was some necessity to it all due to some conflicting personalities.
Setting out, Hibiki wasted no time in seeking Flare out, only to notice that the Smuggler was waiting right by the blonde girls cabin door. He didn't bother making himself scarce as he rested himself against one of the cabins nearby, keeping a soft smile plastered on his face as he patiently waited for the opportunity to enter the conversation.
Hiroki's Perspective
Silence. The docks were eerily quiet this early in the morning as Hiroki sat near the waters edge, letting his feet rest in the cold depths. Sometimes he would swing his foot and let out a small splash of water, focusing intensely on the ripples that were made as a result. His head sunk and he groaned.
Despite his seemingly relaxed posture, there was a stringent worry that permanently enraptured him as he stared at the lake, glancing over at each and every other dock. "I wonder if there are other people like us across the lake," he pondered.
Suddenly he kicked up a huge wave of water, letting it all splash down in a torrent of rain, spreading myriads of ripples across the lake, each small wave coming into contact with one another before vanishing. Hiroki couldn't help but shake his head and recline before staring up into the pale blue sky. Maybe there were, maybe there weren't.
It didn't feel comforting to think that there were other people that this bear was quite possibly torturing as well. And if there were a collection of students like him, it made him think even further, if they had gone through that same class trial. The thought made him shiver for a brief moment as he glanced back at the cabins before sitting straight up, wondering if he should go to check on Ayu.
Then, his thoughts came back to how he acted at the end of it all, shouting at Shirou. The student bit his lip. She didn't need to deal with this right now, plus he did still hold some resentment towards the so called "Hero" for his actions. Who did he think he was?
Sitting back up, he just sat there by his lonesome, continuously thinking about the trials and tribulations they would all have to possibly endure as he drifted onto another lingering thought of someone he once knew. Hopefully they were doing better than the rest of this motley group.
And then, another kick.
Aurel's Perspective
"The cups are over there," a third voice interjected in-between the duo, possibly startling at least one of them as the thief suddenly appeared out of thin air, pointing directly at one of the unopened cabinets before returning to whatever task he was working on.
From the looks of it, he seemed to be have a carton of eggs resting in his arms as he brought it to his part of the counter, which seemed stacked with a couple of miscellaneous items ranging from frozen sausages to pancake mix. Gently placing them down, he grunted and crouched down, sifting through certain cabinets before retrieving a whisk, bowl, and other utensils before placing them on the side.
Despite the atmosphere of the situation, Aurel remained deadly silent as he went about preparing the meal, mixing eggs, milk, pancake mix, and other components in the bowl as he ponder on what might occur during the rest of their time trapped here. As he beat away and blended the materials together, his thoughts instantly went over to Snow and Ryuma as he paused for a brief moment, letting the whisk rest in the mix for a brief while.
The thief's shoulders drooped as he sighed, staring at the pancake batter as he began to ruminate on the duo's actions and words. Snow was lashing out at everything and rebuffing his statements, and Ryuma had just crumbled and caved in to the hopelessness of the situation. He was worried about them a lot as he began mindlessly stirring, blankly staring at the batter before perking up.
"Sorry if this breakfast is different than what you're used to," Aurel murmured to the two as he made sure the batter was well beaten with no thick lumps before pouring it into the measuring cup. Getting a light bit of butter, he sliced a thin portion of it and placed it into the pan and rolled it around.
Following that up, he began to pour some of the batter in and just let it cook. Aurel sighed, he missed his mom's pancakes. As his shoulders sunk, his mind drifted back to the other campers as he pondered on how they were all handling the situation. To him, it seemed like Taya and Ginshi had everything settled. What was going to happen going forward from here?

The moment they ignored further questions was extremely exasperating as Cyril tilted his head and rolled his eyes in the most dramatic way possible before facepalming. Well, he tried, and, uh, that was it. Time for the alternative solution. Taking a couple of steps backward, the young researcher placed a hand against his hip, his shoulders drooping a bit.
"Tch, guess I was wrong to assume you two were reasonable," Cyril merely shook his head and clicked the roof of his mouth, glaring at the duo as they began to encroach on him and Chloe. At this point, he seemed more disappointed rather than angry, though his raw determination seemed to bleed into most of his partners, aside from Cation who was ready to just pounce and play.
Mimi merely peeked behind Cyril's leg and blew a nervous raspberry whilst Aster and Velvet let out the most ferocious battle cry two cute Pokémon could, "Budeeee bun bunny!" Looking over, Cyril merely shined a confident smile at Chloe.
"Lets knock some sense into these two then, future champion, we got this," his smile became more wry, with the tone of his voice shifting into a much more pleasant, silvery tone as he teased the girl before snapping his fingers. Now that he thought about it, this opportunity was way too perfect!
"Another thing to note, this opportunity is perfect for learning double battles, as well as working alongside another person," he smirked as he glared at these two grunts, tilting his head with a devilish smile as he pointed at their opponents and snapped his fingers.
"In any case, it's showtime! Follow my lead!"
With that sharp yet light proclamation, he exuded a bold aura as he asserted himself as he stood up straight, retaining his heads resting position as he scritched Velvet's ears and gave her a look. She looked raring to kick some butt as she hopped down from his shoulder and strut unto the battlefield, pointing an ear defiantly at her opponents, "Bun bun."
From what he could discern, Velvet was the best option for handling the start of this skirmish under these circumstances. If the sunlight was just a bit harsher, Aster could easily be chosen instead. Regardless, as soon as Cyril heard that attack, he instantly formulated a plan, "Alright, Buneary, pick up and toss Growlithe directly at the Gastly, make sure he keeps using Bite," Cyril exclaimed with a jovial, giggly grin as he pointed at the purple gas before lightly nudging Chloe's side with an elbow.
"I'm gonna stick with pseudonyms for now; don't want these two to put us on a list cuz' of their stupidity," he murmured to her before returning his gaze to the battlefield. He could already see Velvet picking up the Growlithe with her ears before getting a running start and launching him directly at the Gastly before tripping and falling onto her stomach due to how much she put into that throw.
Due to getting her move off faster, this hopefully makes the Gastly flinch, whether it be from the Bite, or that the fact a Growlithe had just been tossed in its direction. While that is the best case scenario, should it fail and the Growlithe gets put to sleep before he gets his bite off, Gastly is still taking a hit from the Growlithe regardless.
Following that, there are two scenarios that can play out: the Mareep uses Thunder Wave on either Buneary or Growlithe, well, if the tactic to intimidate and make the Gastly flinch is successful. Depending on whoever is hit will cause the ensuring strategy to change in the process.
Rubbing his chin, Cyril will glance over with a smirk before shouting something to Buneary, detailing that she's going to be a lot slower. Despite that, his next command is simple: insult and taunt the Gastly. Use every rude and vulgar thing she can think of and tell that straight to the Gastly in hopes of distracting him long enough for Growlithe to hit him with a Bite.
Rising up, wincing possibly from the electricity coursing around her and struggling to move, Buneary would weakly point an ear with an angered smirk on her face. "Bun," Buneary growled, pointing directly at the Gastly as she addressed him. "Bun bun. Buneary! Bunny bun bun bun bun. Bun? Bun Buuuuuneary! Neary bun! Buneary, buneary, buneary!" Honestly, it was probably assumed that she insulted the Gastly's species here, talking about weak tricks because its pathetic in battle or something. Along with that, probably some scathing things stated about his trainer.
Hopefully this ruse would last long enough for Growlithe to get off the Bite.
Cyril would begin run his hands through his hair before clicking the roof of his tongue, a bit disappointed at this scenario. Welp, there's noting wrong with the boring yet practical moves. "Alright then, Buneary, run directly at the Gastly! Dodge and distract him!"
With that command, Velvet hopped up and began swiftly making her way closer to the three Pokémon, swapping between bouncing a couple of feet forward to making a mad dash to close the distance between them as quickly as possible. Following that, she would bend her knees and hop up, making some punching gestures at the Gastly before dropping down and blowing a raspberry at it before running around and hopefully avoiding his attacks.
Whether or not the evasion worked didn't matter and she took a hit, so long as Growlithe managed to Bite Gastly again and possibly knock it out.
Assuming nothing weird happens, such as Growlithe or Velvet being knocked out or the status effect keeping the former from attacking, Cyril will give Chloe a light nudge on the shoulder and beam at her widely, "Hopefully these guys aren't making you sweat, the future champ shouldn't be against easy trainers like this."
After a wink and giggle, he returned his gaze to the battle, taking note of the Gastly's replacement, Spheal as he rolls around around, ready to make his move. Pausing, he once again nudges her again, "Hey, hey, you wanna give coming up with a plan a shot? I think this might be the perfect opportunity for you, how about it?"
"Alright, I'll follow your lead then! However, I recommend we focus on Spheal first," he excitedly states, making a fist pump with one hand whilst pointing the other at the blue, rotund Pokémon. "So, what's the strategy here?"
"Alright then! Guess it's time for another lesson then," he heartily laughs as he rubs his chin and snaps that finger, pointing directly at that rotund Pokémon. "We could turn their own strengths against them, but hmmmmmm... naaaaaah, I've got a better lesson in store!"
If she says no, well, Cyril will go on to point at Chloe's Growlithe, "While most people just simply have their Pokémon use a move and that's that, they don't think of other applications for it." Placing both his hands behind his back, the researcher will then lean forward, nudging his head at the Spheal. "Have Growlithe latch onto Spheal with Bite and make sure he doesn't let go. Immobilize the slower Pokémon! Buneary, return, you're up Aster!"
Quickly swapping out, Cyril brought up her Pokéball as a bright red beam flashed across the battlefield before returning her to his side as Aster clambered up onto Cyril's shoulder. Giving a proud smile to the Budew, Aster returned the smile back at his partner before running across his partner's arm before Cyril thrust it out.
Using a combination the momentum from the thrust, as well as his own jumping as well, Aster hopped onto the battlefield, making a little fearful cry as his little legs wiggled through the air. This wasn't just to make a cool entrance, it was also meant as a way for him to land safely behind Growlithe and the Spheal while Growlithe was biting and holding him down. He would probably take a little bit of damage from tumbling about, but Absorb exists, thankfully.
If Growlithe isn't paralyzed, Cyril will also explain to Chloe to utilize their enemies Pokémon as a shield to block the Mareeps Thunder Waves with Spheals body. If he is paralyzed, Cyril will ask her to use Growlithes body as a shield so Aster isn't affected. Hopefully Budew ended up rolling behind the two before rising up. Following that, Aster will use and spam Absorb on the Spheal whilst Growlithe inhibits their moves and quite possibly Rollout by continuing to grapple them with Bite.
Once the Spheal is knocked out and he notes that one of the grunts is out of usable Pokémon, Cyril will let out a hearty laugh as he returns Velvet to his shoulder, the latter of which is pouting. Should she be paralyzed, she'll try to give him a light punch on the cheek with her ears before the static electricity courses through her, preventing her from doing it. Mimi also seems to have come out of her hiding spot and is fist punching the air as she cheers Aster and Growlithe on, "Hap, hapi! Hap, hapi!"
"Looks like the rest of this battle should be straight forward for now," he proclaims, pointing directly at the remaining Mareep on the opposing side. "Lets go all in, there's no need to fear their status effects anymore!" Swapping strategies to all out offensive, Cyril informs Aster to keep spamming Absorb until the Mareep falls.
If a paralyze gets off, Growlithe will presumably probably take the brunt of it all due to being closer. Following that, Cyril would tell Aster to swap up strategies. Aster would then begin to hide behind Growlithe while the Mareep tries to paralyze him. Growlithe would either Bite and hold him down at this point or the Mareep (and trainer) would get frustrated before just setting off an attacking, resulting in Aster using Absorb on him.
Once the Mareep falls and the grunt swaps to Grimer, Cyrils face would probably start scrunching up as his nose began to wrinkle, "Bleugh! We need to take that Grimer out fast!" He felt a little bad for how negatively he spoke about the Pokémon, but good lord, the stench it eminated was just terrible! Why couldn't it of been the Alolan variant?
Despite feeling a bit nauseous, Cyril pressed on, analyzing his next steps to take towards defeating Grimer. Thankfully he already had another strategy prepared, though much to his chagrin, it would be a slow burn. "Missy, swap out Growlithe for Pidgey! Budew, distract Grimer and focus on dodging for now!" Pointing towards the purple sludge, Aster rushed towards it as quickly as its little legs would take it before it began hopping around and making faces at the Grimer, always jumping to the side to avoid attacks.
Once Pidgey was out on the field, Cyril would explain to Chloe to have the Pidgey to do hit-and-run attacks. Use Tackle to dive bomb in and quickly get out of range as soon as they attacked rinse and repeat this strategy for how long it takes until the Grimer has been knocked out.

Around the time he announced the plan, Mimi and Velvet began waking from their slumber, with the small Happiny wiggling her ponytail and the Buneary stretching her ears out as if they were limbs before covering her mouth. "Bun," she mused before glancing up at her and giving her partner a less than amused stare as she clambered onto Cyril's shoulder.
"Yeah, I uh, wonder how that happened too," he stated, looking suspiciously to the side while he began to furiously itch at his neck and chuckle nervously. That totally didn't look out of place and he totally was not doing it to interject any sort of levity into this silly situation. "Pi pi?"
After a couple of minutes, the Pidgey was thankfully able to point them in the right direction, though the researcher did continue to eye the bushels to the side with a small smile as sweat bullets formed on the side of his face. "Alright then, follow after Chloe everyone," he ushered to the trio walking as Cation purred loudly and ran alongside the blonde lass whilst Aster and Mimi tottled alongside each other, staying close by Cyril.
Thankfully, having a guide was helpful to the lost traveler, especially with someone inept as Cyril leading them out of the forest originally. Still, this did give him some time to ruminate on some of some of the words Chloe left him with during their time traversing through the forest. The desire to travel and attempt becoming the champion were dreams befitting new trainers as he softly smiled to himself, keeping an eye on her back.
"She would of gotten along with Morgan," Cyril wistfully mused to himself as his smile became a little more somber, something that three out of the four partners caught onto. Velvet made hers more obvious by pressing an ear against his cheek, "Bun?"
Despite how deadpan she sounded, there was some inquiry as to whether or not he was fine, to which he followed up by beaming at the bunny, "Everything is just fine, just thinking about things, that's all~."
Still, that wasn't enough to fool her, let alone Aster and Mimi, the two of which, while running, held onto one of his pants legs, staring up at him with expectant eyes. Ugh, how could he say no to them as he furrowed his brows and let his guard down as that solemn smile returned briefly, "I'll talk to you all about it later, alright? I promise."
He briefly put up a thumbs up while keeping that same smile from before, not bothering to hide it. That was satisfactory for the trio at least as Velvet went back to lazing on his shoulder whilst Aster and Mimi continued running alongside each other, chirping placidly to one another.
After a few minutes, Cyril began to pick up the pace, running alongside Chloe now as the forestry began to abate. From what he could discern, it seemed like they had almost escaped these lost woods! Cyril couldn't help but give a sigh of relief and an exaggerated swipe of his forehead for almost being out of there.
Well, that was of course they ran into some trouble. Two fashionable weirdos stating they were glad to run into Chloe and Cyril. Still, that was enough to give the young man a sigh of relief as he casually followed up behind the silver-haired fellows comment about the forest, "Aha, I know right~?"
Still, the fact that they commented on Team Amethyst made Cyril narrow his eyes at the two as he ushered for Cation to come back to his side. The confused little kitty pondered on why before he noticed Mimi was shivering and peaking behind Cyril and Aster, while nearby, wasn't as hidden. Even Velvet seemed more irritated than usual (which he was oblivious to in general). "Shiii!"
As the Shinx exclaimed, he bounced back over to Cyril and patiently sat in front of one of his legs as the duo continued on this spiel. Cyril, however, could feel the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. Something was off as the silver-haired one began to comment on Team Amethyst and how they were seeking two individuals out.
Especially when they got to the baseline description of the two they were pursuing. This was going south real fast as they instantly jumped to the worst possible scenario. Cyril and Velvet couldn't help but facepalm.
The first thing was a battle then huh? Maybe he could attempt to diffuse the situation. Holding out an arm to try and stop Chloe from acting too rash, he peered behind him before murmuring to her, "Let me try to handle this first."
With that said, time to get this ball rolling. Cackling like a madman, his smile greatly expanded as he placed a hand on his hip and pressed all the fingers of his other hand against the side of his head as he struck a pose.
"Well, well, well, looks like some people have finally noticed how fabulous we look, wouldn't you say," once more, he glanced over to Chloe with a wink before simmering down and clearing his throat, glancing lazily over at the Pokémon sent out and held out a hand and waggled a finger.
"However it seems they've jumped to the wrong conclusion and are eager to get straight into a battle, tut, tut," Cyril sighed with a dejected smile, brushing his hair out of his face with a smile. As much as he and Chloe could earn a bit of cash, they didn't need to be on any list at the moment... plus, Team Amethyst, eh?
Only knew that they poached and sold Pokémon for top dollar and that they were in a war with some other Team known as Virtue. He was definitely a betting man, and would wholeheartedly put his money in on these two being the latter. "I find it a bit insulting you call these "disguises," especially since we aren't affiliated with Team Amethyst in any way, shape, or form," of course, just stating it straight out wouldn't convince them, there would need to be crucial evidence.
"We're both trainers who have recently departed from Professor Kalmia's lab. The both of us have Trainer Licenses, as well as Pokédexes gifted from her and Jacques. We can provide those two things if you like," Cyril worked to give as disarming of a smile as he could possible to the duo in the hopes they would lower their guard and instead talk like sensible people.
Still, his own Pokémon still seemed heavily defensive (if your name wasn't Cation) and looked to appeal to Velvet who easily looked to be the most likely to incite something. "Easy now Velvet, we don't have to start a confrontation if we don't have to," he stated in a soothing voice as he scritched one of her ear buns, which caused her to relax a bit, "Bun, bun."
Despite all her grumbling, she was relatively pacified for now as he returned to the Virtue Grunts. "Beyond the general information about gender and fashion choices, do either of you have any other information," Cyril questioned the duo as he looked over the two with a piercing glance.
"Specifics such as accessories, their height, their names, specific parts of their outfits, the Pokémon on their team, hair color, and so on," with that, he paused for a moment to collect himself before holding a fist up to his throat and clearing it before continuing.
Holding his arms out to his side, he tilted his head and gave a Meowth-like smile to them both, "And just out of curiosity, what is Team Amethyst getting up to in a forest like this?"

Well then, these items would be plenty handy as he traversed and scooped up anything that wasn't nailed down like he normally would when on a journey! As he cavorted about the forest, he took note that some of his partners were starting to feel re-energized, primarily Cation as he squirmed about before glancing back over at Cyril, "Shiiii?"
He didn't particularly look tousled up too much as he grinned at the small Shinx before pocketing some moss and scratching behind Cation's ear, much to the delight. He couldn't help but coo as the electric cat purred in his arms, though he made sure to keep himself focused on the forest.
After some time, he placed the Shinx down to let him romp around, only to have Cyril warn him about staying close and not to get lost in these woods, to which he gave a little salute with his paws before dashing around Cyril.
The researcher couldn't help but squee a bit at the cute little action as he continued gallivanting through the forest, as well as ushering a warning to Cation every time he wanted to explore a place, especially when Cyril discerned something was off. Besides collecting more items, such as moss, as well as keeping an eye out for sleep-inducing Pokémon, the walk around was mildly uneventful.
Every now and then he would come back to the other trio that was napping in his arms and would either scritch one of Velvet's ears, which caused it to curl and unfurl in delight or rub some drool off of Aster's mouth. Eventually he hit the jackpot, the motherload, the cutest of all girls (at least to him right now), the orange lass Chloe!
Cyril gave a polite, yet dainty little wave as he approached, with Cation taking the initiative and dashing on forth to introduce himself to the duo, prancing on over and practically getting into their faces with a huge grin, "Shiiiiinx!"
"Hey, if you had anymore, you probably wouldn't even wanna leave this forest," he chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck with a great, big toothy grin as he approached the girl. "Bet you would stay here, building up an army of cute Pokémon and then," his voice became a hushed whisper as he began raising up his arm, his vision darkening as he made his hand claw-shaped.
Then, it came jutting down, the hand crinkling inward as it scooped the air, stopping a foot away from Chloe, "Blam, you invade this regions Pokémon League with your legion of cuteness and initiate a hostile takeover!" Despite the slight volume increase, he never raised it above a hushed whisper as his visage lightened up, resulting in the boy chuckling to himself as he brushed his messy brown hair to the side.
"But you wouldn't do that, riiiiiiiight," he mused before winking to the girl and checking back over to see how Cation was doing.
... Cation was draped over the Jigglypuffs head, technically body, "Shi, shi, shiiiii!" Cyril couldn't help but snuff a snigger as he witnessed this, though that gentle laughter was enough to rouse the Budew from his slumber, causing him to let a wide open yawn as he shook his little bud, "Buuuuud..."
"But to answer your question, I did say I would join you shopping, didn't I," he smirked and winked as he snapped his fingers as he let Aster hop from his arms to investigate the two new Pokémon with a curious yet cautious approach as he leaned in to look at the duo, "Fwee?"
"So lets not dawdle then! I'll lead the way!" With that declaration, he lightly pounded his chest with full assurance before doing a small pirouette and pointing in the direction he came from. Just needed to retrace his steps after all. Would help if he had a map of the region and not just a map of Pureplain, buuuut maybe he could buy one at the next stop.
Peering to the side, Cyril noticed his partner shying towards the Petilil and twiddling his buds as he let out a rather awkward "Fwee," as a way to greet her before glancing away. Heh, the little rascal. "Come on, you'll get more time to spend with your little girl friend while we navigate our way out, don't worry," his grin became no different than a Meowth, mischievous and coy as he looked down at the duo as the Budew shook his body, "F-fwee!" Hee, looks like he was pretty flustered.
At this point, I'm guessing Chloe and the other two would follow alongside Cyril, and Cation would probably bounce off the Jigglypuff too while he lead them through the forest. It was one forest, he had wandered through these before! Eterna Forest and the Old Chateau game to mind during his early years when a conference was held in Eterna City, so yeah, he had some experience!
Whether or not it's any good, well, that's a secret.
Regardless, Cyril was somewhat focused on ensuring no one fell asleep though a part of his mind was screaming at him to ask something about the girl he was traveling with. Of course, that part of his mind was doing twirls while trying to look extremely cool to everyone (i.e. just Cyril) and they were in forest with sleep inducing Pokémon.
"Hm hm~, speaking of the League, do you have any goals or dreams beyond getting intimate with the fashion of each town," Cyril mused to the girl as he reached over and twirled Mimi's curly little hair, causing her to stir and giggle a bit as she continued her nap. "Do you plan on being a fashion designer some day, participating in contests or gym battles, or do you not have that completely thought out yet," he questioned Chloe before directing her down there, realizing there were a couple of Glameow glaring at them in secret from the bushels.
While waiting for a response from the girl it seemed his own partner was a bit busy trying to get familiar with the other grass type in the party as well, keeping a short, healthy distance between the shy plant and the other, "F-fwee budeee!" Seems introductions were in order for the two as the former had finally gotten around to introducing himself before seguing into asking about her home, this forest.
Still, the moment, Chloe responded, Cyril would merely smile and nod his head, pinching his chin between his index finger and thumb before giving a noncommittal answer to analyze for later, "Aha, I see, I see."
And that was enough ruminating on it, time to answer it! As he began to open his mouth, Cyril came to a pause, holding his arm out signalling for the rest of the party to stop, "Fwee?" Aster tilted his little body, befuddled at the sudden stop as he shifted on over to Cyril, who seemed to look a bit worried at the time.
"Ah, it's nothing, don't worry lil' buddy! I'm just getting a sense of déjà vu, that's all," Cyril stated to Aster before giving him a light pat on the bud before continuing to analyze the area. For all his words, it was more than a sense of déjà vu - they were literally back where they found Chloe, much to his surprise and chagrin.
He managed to keep a marginal poker face as he patted some of the dirt with his foot, before doing a little pirouette and pointing in another direction, "I think we need-to-go thattaway!" Right, there was no way he would get this wrong twice in a row, definitely! They were not lost in any way, shape or form! Gesturing for the group to move again, he began leading them through the forest once more, before following up with another question towards Chloe, "What places have you been to in Isson already and what can you tell me about em'?" OK, it was obvious that they were lost after a couple of loops around this place, with Cyril being seemingly flabbergasted despite keeping the visage that everything was under control. He couldn't help but feel a sweat droplet form on the side of his face as he began to chortle nervously to himself with a weak grin on his face, "Aha, I... think we've been here before, seems a bit familiar if you ask me."
Cyril raised a finger as he turned back to chat with Chloe, before anxiously looking away from her cute little face, "Hnng, eh, you know what, I'll just admit it, I have no idea where we are going." Yeah, in truth, navigating forests was never really his strong suit, at least not without a map in his possession.
The thicket here was somewhat denser, with it being much harder to peer through the trees at the exact moment, though there were openings of light that managed to breakthrough. Now that he thought about it, didn't Chloe have a Pidgey?
"Hey Chloe, how about you use your Pidgey to get a birds eye view, then have him lead us through the forest instead of me," he chuckled before placing a hand on his hip and waggling a finger, "I've never been particularly good at traveling through forests without guides after all..."
Speaking of guides, as much as he believed they had looped to where he had discovered Chloe with the rest of her new partners, in reality it seemed he had managed to lead the duo deeper into the forest. That probably explained the abundance of Glameows and Cottonees gathering about. "I can only hope we don't get lost any further, aha~."
::Personality:: Always smile, keep it professional. Those words are something he was always required to live by, not by choice. Of course, the second part came later into his time, but for the most part when it came to professional, it meant keeping up a certain air for himself. Furthermore, he has gone to cultivate an image of a friendly, polite, and outgoing persona, making Akira appear as a very extroverted individual. Of course, despite this cultivation, that's who he really is, at least from his perspective.
Beyond that, there's also a bit of a mischievous, playful side to him with light teasing thrown into the mix. Regardless, the job has sort of left him isolated, with many feeling he might be out of their league to interact with, thus leaving him feeling lonely, wishing for a genuine connection with another. Still, despite his professional nature, he has been known to be blunt and speak his mind at times, half as an outlet for societal pressure and the other half as a way to show people that there's more to him than just Akira Kamekura, the playful actor.
::History:: Akira has honestly lived a rather monotonous life. The same old either going to school and homework, or starring in some show, movie, voice acting, etc., followed by parents and planning out for his daily schedule. For all his life, Akira Kamekura has been an actor, with his mother acting as his agent whilst his father continued working in the medical field.
To others, in sounded like a dream come true for him with such a coveted position, but to Akira, it ate away at his sanity as time went on. Sure, he enjoyed it early on but as time passed on, there was an increasing self-awareness of the situation he was placed in. While he had an extroverted personality, he found it increasingly difficult to make friends in regular schools as a result of his circumstances. Most people either shied away, formulating positive or negative opinions of him or befriended him on a superficial level.
In truth, he felt alone.
As much as he found enjoyment with his current profession, he also had a growing interest in other fields, namely in psychology. Of course, he was pressured into continuing his usual route of being an actor or a voice for some anime. It was a struggle to even get into that field due to having to balance his school life with his job.
His own social life was a whole bag of worms, though he always did maintain the public image of being a good student, as well as attempting to make friends. Akira was successful, but it was always a struggle since he wanted to grow more alongside them. This was very apparent when he entered High School since now he had to balance out cram school as well. He started to find that he had little time for friends, let alone himself and grew disillusioned with acting.
Much to the surprise of everyone, the actor announced he would be going on a hiatus for a bit and when interviewed on it, he mainly talked about how he had to reevaluate his life and determine what he truly wanted out of it all. Of course, this was a half-truth as he honestly just wanted more time to spend with his friends as well.
Akira's family wasn't hurting for money, but he made sure to finish whatever jobs he had remaining before taking a hiatus for some time off. And for all the time he had to rest, the world wouldn't let him, even after it had ended.

Pixie
Race: Fairy Informative Data: According to the local folklore of southwest England, pixies are small mischievous creatures that inhabit the countryside and woodlands that like to play pranks on humans. Depending on the tale told, pixies can vary in size from tiny enough to fit in the palm of a human's hand to the size of a small child, although they are always a good deal below the size of an average human. They can be portrayed with or without wings, and over the years have taken on many traits usually associated with fairies, often leading to the common misconception that they are one and the same.
Pixies are sometimes said to be born in much the same way as humans, however some tales tell that they are humans transformed through misdeeds or magic. They play pranks on humans such as stealing their belongings, throwing things or calling out their names. They may also steal horses during the night and return them by the morning with tangled manes. While pixies usually don't cause any real harm, it is said that if someone follows the voices of pixies, they will never return.

Aurel gulped and opened his mouth to try and say something, anything. Yet, he remained visibly silent. His throat was dry, his breathing, while normal, was a little hoarse as he reclined back, ruminating on what he could say to quell Snow right now. In truth, there was nothing he could say, nothing that could come to mind amidst the verbal clashing.
He bit his lip and gnawed on it; he felt so god damn useless right now.
It didn't help that Ryuma was still reeling from the events he had witnessed, appearing just as lost as Aurel. The thief visibly deflated upon witnessing this and Ryuma seemingly just giving up, his arms sinking as he murmured a raspy "Ryuma, that isn't... we won't..."
We won't what, disappear? Die? As much as he tried to hold on to his optimism, the reality was right in front of their eyes; Snow's accusations against him only made that reality more readily apparent, "H-huh? What are y-"
Aurel didn't even get in a word, edge-wise as she began laying into him. His visage darkened as he stared at the ground, not even trying to maintain eye contact with the girl as he felt his heart sink even further, his own breathing slowly abating as the words penetrated his mind.
His mind could only wander about and ponder on what he was doing wrong as he moved a hand up and began chewing at his fingers again, his hand trembling before stopping the moment Flare interjected. Aurel merely stopped an listened to her, being broken out of that downtrodden trance as he slightly lifted his head up.
Flare had managed to successfully pacify Snow, at least for the time being as the Hair-dresser gave up her relentless assault on him before staggering a bit as she made her way towards the elevator with the others. Aurel weakly glanced at Flare before letting out a relieved yet dejected sigh.
"I just wanted to... what am I supposed to do," he murmured the last line under his breath, too low for Flare to pick up on before nodding and pivoting around, left to ruminate on his thoughts. What was he supposed to do? What could he do?
Hiroki's Perspective
Hiroki wanted to continue letting into these two as he stood there, red-faced and fuming. What did they know anyways? Before he could continue his relentless assault against the duo, Ayu interjected in some attempt to reel him in. Jutting his head over to look at her, he opened his mouth slightly trying to think of something to stay, but instead they lay motionless as he chose to listen instead.
It wasn't okay to him, none of this was, but those few short words, just pacified him a little. Sure, Hiroki still had his grievances and he still looked like a snarling dog, but his fangs were no longer barred and the barking had stopped.
All that energy and fury was sapped out of him as a couple of tears welled up in his eyes, but before he could cry a bit, he snuffed the it out, wiping them away before they could even stream. "Yeah, lets go," he uttered to Ayu, ushering along as he noticed Hibiki giving her a sincere smile, wordlessly thanking her before he began trotting on over to Flare.
He wouldn't look back. He didn't have a reason to as he headed towards the elevator. There was a small stutter in his step at on point, but it didn't linger long as he continued to make his way towards the elevator with Ayu, "Thanks for that, by the way... and sorry I acted out like that, I just... need some time to just really process this all."
Hibiki's Perspective
They had managed to weather a part of the storm, but the worst was yet to come as Hibiki began to focus, grimacing a little before catching himself and pushing forth a smile as he approached Flare. Still, he would always glance back at times, seeing how Shirou and the others were doing. However, whenever he found himself eyeing the back of Hiroki's head, he was always drawn to Ayu next.
"How curious, so she's the anchor then," he mused to himself before looking down and addressing Lilly with a minute smile.
"We should get going then. If there's anything you would like to say, feel free to tell me," he spoke gently to the girl as he tilted his head to the side before gesturing to follow him. Whenever Lilly began to walk towards the elevator, Hibiki would remain behind for a few seconds as he went to place an arm on Flare's shoulder and whispered into her ear.
"I would recommend discussing things later due to how draining this day has been for all of us, as well as a couple of other things," the Tutor would murmur before lightly jerking the girl and pointing in the direction of Momoe. "She hasn't gotten any sleep and probably wants to rest... and Shirou..."
The bespectacled young man rotated the woman to point directly at Shirou next, "Shirou probably needs to collect his thoughts, especially after the harsh pushback from Hiroki, so maybe you should talk with them later." And with that said, he lifted his grip from the blonde woman before nodding his head, "I'll be going now as well, best you get some rest as well, Flare."
And with that said, he picked up the pace to catch up with Lilly (who I'm assuming just decided to move on), walking at her side and glancing down at the girl before continuing to offer her a warm smile.
Aurel's Perspective
Despite the distance everyone kept from one another, the elevator felt more suffocating than usual as Aurel stood on the wayside near one of the corners of the room. The group was outright debilitate from these chain of events from the looks of it as the horrific scene began to play again in the thief's mind.
He couldn't help but grit his teeth before looking up to see a dejected Snow standing amidst the crowd to herself. Aurel gulped. He shuffled over a little bit, reaching out a hand to her shoulder before stopping.
Slowly backing off, Aurel formed a gentle fist as he lightly rubbed his index finger and thumb together, grimacing as he glared at the ground. What should I do, what can I do were all questions running through his mind as he listlessly eyed the other inhabitants of the elevator. He blinked.
But how? The thief looked up again, yawning and not bothering to cover his mouth. He might not of had the answers, but one thing was for certain.
