"Charizard, use Flamethrower!" the Fire type Elite Four member commanded. His Charizard obeyed as it fired the fire from it mouth and knocked out the opposing Blastoise.

"What! No, I thought I had the type advantage." the trainer cried.

"Type advantage isn't everything. You still need training and skill to beat a member of the Elite Four. But congratulations on getting this far, train up and try again next time." Fervis said to the trainer.

After the trainer left Fervis congratulated his Pokémon on the victory and let them rest. It was fun work being part of the Elite Four; you get to fight strong trainers and give valuable experiences. It also didn't hurt that he didn't get as many challengers as a gym leader. "You know what we won't have another challenger for a while, how about we go visit the region." Fervis said to his Pokémon who all agreed in their own way. He put them in their Pokeballs and left the Pokémon League building to travel the region.

Arion stands on the opposing side of the battlefield, a serious look on his face. A trainer named Tom grins.
"Alright, time to get my 5th badge!" He yells in excitement.
The referee stands outside the middle of the battlefield, which is a grass battlefield, "This'll be a 4 on 4 battle between Tom and Arion, the Endrake gym leader. Tom will be facing Group B, for his 5th badge! The trainer may substitute his pokemon, but the gym leader cannot! Let the battle begin!"
Tom throws his pokeball, "Beedrill, come on OUT!" A Beedrill comes out on the battlefield.
Arion holds out his pokeball and it opens, "Come forth, Altaria." An Altaria comes out on the battlefield.
Tom grins again, "A battle of air huh? Alright Beedrill, use poison jab!" Beedrill flies forward at Altaria.
"Altaria, use ice beam." Altaria shoots an ice beam at Beedrill.
"A dragon type using an ice attack? Beedrill dodge it!" Beedrill flies up, narrowly dodging it and hits Altaria with poison jab before flying backwards.
Arion calls out, "Altaria, dragon dance." Altaria performs a dance, a red glow covering it's body.
"Beedrill, use fury attack!" Beedrill closes in on Altaria, but Arion says nothing for the longest time. Then when Beedrill gets super close;
"Ice beam." Altaria uses ice beam at close distance, hitting Beedrill, who falls through the air. "Now, sky attack." A power covers Altaria as it flies through the air, hitting Beedrill and causing it to hit the ground.
The referee looks at Beedrill, "Beedrill is unable to battle! The winner is Altaria."
Tom grits his teeth, "Beedrill, return! Girafarig, come on out!"

Kim enjoyed herself as she entered Fulgia City, as usual it was bustling with activity. While she didn't mind the volume of people in the area she still felt as though it was a bit to much for her so she decided to enter a nearby park. She threw her 4 pokeballs into the air as with a bright red flash, her team was in front of her. She sat cross legged on the ground as she took out four dishes, each labeled with the name of her pokemon and filled them with food. After she placed the now full dishes on the ground the four pokemon began eat the food while Kim took the oprotunity to help herself to some food as well. She quickly got up and walked over to a nearby food truck and ordered some simple and inexpensive food.

Luna Re'sol.

To the outside world, she was just your average woman sitting on a park bench, her silver and black hair flowing gently in the wind. Her spats and her long shirt covering her thigh's while her long socks kept most of her lower legs warm. Not that the cool wind was disturbing to her anyway. Her brown eyes stared lightly at the park, the passing people, some with Pokémon following in tow, others kept inactive pokeballs. However the girl had something odd as she stared lightly at a large grand building. Its make similar to 17th Victorian design with the words in a banner hanging lightly from the entrence.
"Fugia Museum, See, your history today."

It was almost a pathetic slogan that really needed a change... something more along the line's of
"Fugia Museum, temporarily closed due to robbery..."
It was then that I thought I could hear Gardevoir speak to me in a slightly reproachful tone using telepathy.
"Master, really... what happened to the cute little girl I watched grow up..."
"Tatania, she had to grow up in order to support herself and you... otherwise how am I to keep a roof over our heads with no employable skills. "

With a small gaze, I could feel Titania staring at me from behind and then sighed waving my hand lightly submitting for whatever reason it was, I just couldn't handle Titania's stare, maybe it was because we have been together forever but I knew that she at least didn't approve of my career choice as a criminal, but then again i'm sure dad would have a few choice words waiting for me as well.

As I saw an ice cream vendor set up shop around noon I lightly got up off the bench and then walked towards in and ordered for two Pokécreams. The vendor looked confused as I ordered but gave me what I wanted anyway after Titania floated in lightly behind me. As I paid him and returned to the bench I could feel Titania take her protective place behind me as I quickly passed her one of the cream cones. Both were meant for Pokémon, but it could be eaten by humans as well so I just settled and started lightly digging in as the silent sound of Titania resounding in my ears. I silently smiled being happy and I knew that Titania could feel my emotion as well which i'm sure made her happy as well.

As I licked the ice cream I could see the museum in full swing, I wondered lightly if I should take a look in and scope the place out for the heist in a week. however sensing my thoughts once more Titania stared once more with those orange eyes into the back of my skull and I quickly gave up. "Fine, fine... I'll keep the raid off for a week... "
I was about to continue when suddenly I could hear to sound of some kids kicking a ball in the grass, it was then followed by a screaming child yelling.
"Watch out!"
I turned instinctively to see the ball heading towards my face only to see Titaina lightly glow in a psychic coating as the ball stopped dead in its tracks only a centimeter from my nose before lightly moving away and sent flying lightly back into the air into the boys arms.
As I stared as Titania, she stopped glowing and gave me a small smile after sighing.
"You know, I wasn't going to be in any danger... its just a ball..."
"Master, the danger matters not, your my master and my life is always yours."
"Well, thanks I guess..."
"It's no problem at all master."

I sighed lightly and then looked at my bracelet, the two pokeballs inactive, one being Titania's who guarded me ever so constantly and the other belonging to my Ninetails named Kyuu for its cute sounds when I caught it after saving it when it was a vulpix. Just a regular day... I wondered if I should teleport back to base and make a report, but decided not to after watching Titania go back to eating its ice cream slowly. I kind of wanted to spoil her today but couldn't fathom the reason why as I felt the sun beat once more down on me as the wind blew past.

The day was indeed young, the sun shined brightly and the sea reflected the light to appear as a shimmering sea of grass. From his seat, Declan felt like the only human left in the world, so quiet, so peaceful yet his life was so traumatic also. He pushed his memories of grief and loss to the back of his head, and as he continued to get dressed, he looked down at Phoenix fast asleep on the bed, curled up in a ball; his golden coat glowing in the sunlight. He wondered if Phoenix would ever live a happy life, not knowing his mother. She was a terrific Pokemon, Declan thought to himself, and her death had come so sudden, and with such impact.

Getting ready to head out, he gathered his uniform, putting on his capture styler covering the purple scar on his right arm. In recent months, the scar had grown in size. He gathered his two other poke balls, which contained the team which he had gathered other the recent months and trained; a Bunnelby which he had caught while tracking in the bush with Phoenix and an Alomomola which he had caught while out on the coast. Although he had to carry Altissimo in a pokeberry while on land, he rarely would do so with his other two Pokemon which would always pose a hazard to Phoenix, his coat made him a sought after Poochyena and stoping trainers from attempting to catch him was a frequent occurrence.

His clothes on and his bag packed, he woke up Phoenix and called Rounder, ready to start his journey.

Kim was sitting with her food as she watched some kids play with a ball. She couldn't help but flinch as one of them yelled watch out and the ball was heading towards a girl sitting on a park bench. Kim watched in curiosity as the ball was deflected by a physic shield and soon noticed the pokemon sitting next to the girl.

Wondering about the girl, Kim got up, packed up the empty food dishes, and with her own pokemon in toe, walks over to the girl.

"Nice to met ya," says Kim with a cheerful grin and an outstretched hand, "name's Kim."

[Kaboomlandia]

Gustdawn Gym

Koha stood across from his opponent, a trainer named Philip. A loudspeaker boomed out. "This is the battle for the Gustdawn Gym badge. Each trainer may use four Pokémon, and both sides may freely switch. Let the battle begin!"

As a bell rang, Koha stood across from his opponent, waiting for the battle to begin.

"Go! Emboar!"

The pig-like Fire- and Fighting-type Pokémon burst out of its Poké Ball and stared across the battlefield at the Gym Leader. Koha tensed. Emboar was a powerful Pokémon. Luckily, he also knew how to beat it.

"Go! Drifblim!"

The balloon-like Ghost- and Flying-type Pokémon also burst out of its Poké Ball and waited for the challenger's move. As a Ghost-type, Koha knew that Drifblim was immune to Emboar's Fighting-type attacks.

Philip was unfazed. "So you've decided to use a Fire-type, huh? Well, I can handle that. Emboar, use Heat Crash!"

"Drifblim! Use Phantom Force!" As Emboar tried to hit Drifblim, the Blimp Pokémon disappeared. Emboar stared around in confusion, wondering where its opponent had gone. Drifblim appeared behind Emboar and used Phantom Force, dealing quite a bit of damage.

"Predicting your opponent's move is crucial to victory!" Koha yelled across the Gym. Philip shook his head. "Emboar, use Heat Crash!" Koha chuckled to himself and commanded, "Drifblim, use Acrobatics!" Drifblim's super-effective Acrobatics landed and hammered Emboar, knocking it out.

Philip hesitated a moment before throwing out his next Poké Ball. "Go! Mawile!" Koha racked his brains, trying to decide what to do. Drifblim couldn't touch Mawile, and at full health, he wanted to preserve his Drifblim for later. "Drifblim, return!" The Blimp Pokémon disappeared into the Poké Ball and back into his hand.

To be continued...

Telek Ferraro
Quarryrock Gym, Ferraro Mansion, Quarryrock

---

Telek stood at the far side of his arena, he leaned on his cane, his face cold as steel. His monocull sat nicely on his eye, reflecting just enough light to hide his right eye. His rings shined and sparkled. He was rather short though, standing barely at five feet. On the other side of the arena was a nervous looking trainer, one who had apparently just started their journey. They where in a battle.

"Come on Chimchar.... hold in there..." The trainer said to his Chimchar, which was surprisingly resistant. It had managed to remain standing after one powerful attack.

Telek smiled, looking to his Aggron, Tolga, "My... the will of your Chimchar, is impressive.... to stand against Tolga's Iron Tail, that Chimchar is unique."

"Really?" The trainer said a hint of joy in his voice.

"Yes. Really." Telek said, smiling, "But you can't win..... Chimchar here doesn't look like it can stand another powerful attack... Tolga, Aqua Tail."

With that Tolga begun to make it's way towards the Chimchar. The trainer panicked, as his Chimchar looked at him. That was when Tolga made the attack, and sent the Chimchar flying. Knocking it unconscious.

"Chimchar...." The trainer said, running over to his Chimchar.

"Tolga. Return." Telek said as Tolga returned and Telek made his way over to the trainer, "Your concentration broke. Chimchar could have dodged that, but you spaced out, allowing for Tolga to hit." He smiled as he patted the trainer on the back, "You have promise.... you just need more practice. Train. Push yourself and your Pokémon. Become stronger. Then challenge me again."

The trainer nodded as he took out his pokeball and returned his Chimchar. Telek saw the young trainer off, smiling as the trainer left. Telek knew he was a hard old man, he embraced it, and used that to help others succeed.

"Girafarig, start this off with psybeam!" Girafarig shoots a multicolored beam at Altaria.
Arion makes a tch noise, "Use dragon pulse." A ball of white power forms in front of Altaria's mouth and flies at the psybeam, they collide and an explosion follows. "Sky attack." Altaria flies through the smoke, the same power covering it as before.
"Use psychic to stop it, and throw it to the ground!" Girafarig glows pink, and Altaria stops in mid air, before being thrown to the ground. "Now quick, run over there and use double kick!" Arion stands there, not giving a command as Girafarig kicks Altaria once, and it rears back to kick again.
"Ice beam." Altaria, once again, hits Girafarig with an ice beam at close range, causing a layer of ice to cover it's body.
"Girafarig!" Tom yells, his eyes wide.
"Wrap it up, dragon pulse." Arion calls out in a calm tone. At close range, Altaria uses dragon pulse, causing Girafarig to hit the ground, unconscious.
The referee calls out, "Girafarig is unable to battle! Altaria wins!" Tom calls Girafarig back into it's pokeball, before telling it it did a good job.
Arion shakes his head, "I hope you realize by now that trying to use brute force is pointless."
Tom looks down at his last two remaining pokeballs he had planned for this match. "Exploud, show em what you're made of!" He throws his pokeball, and an Exploud enters the battle.

[Neo ORB]

Luna watched the sun lightly and was about to get up to check the museum out afterall when a shade blocked out the sun from her eyes, her vision was filled with Pokémon and a girl maybe the same age as her. she had a head of pure maybe white hair, and haunting crimson eyes. She was Caucasian in sink tone and had a black coat overtop her shirt with a icon with the words "Maximum Beat" on it. behind her, four pokemon hovered, a Berloom, a Skarmory, a Meinshao and an adorable Umbreon.
The girl extended her hand with a grin and gave interductions.
"Nice to meet you, name's Kim"

Silently I couldn't help wonder why me? but no doubt the event with the ball would have induced anyone's curiosity and so reluctantly I spoke in a cheerful voice as I looked back at the woman named Kim.
"Luna..." and then with a light movement I raise my hand with a open palm and introduced my Gardevoir.
"And this is Titania, say hello."
It was then that Titania looked at Kim and then lightly reaching out with its mind touched the woman and spoke, her voice crystal clear but friendly.
"As my Master spoke, Hello."

[Billugslovakc]

With his pokemon in toe, Declan heads down to the two market to get some equipment. Phoenix keeps close to him, weary of everyone around him. Rounder happily sits on Declan's shoulder, however the weight begins to weight Declan down, so he recalls Rounder into his poke ball, the release of weight a relief to him. He looks down at Phoenix, and noticed how distressed he was; he had never been around such a large group of people. "Come here buddy." He said, picking him up and carrying him, Pheonix digging his head into his chest. The feel of the Poockyena's fur triggered flashbacks of the time Declan spent raising his mother, he felt his heart beat race, and his mind begin to swirl.

He hurried to an old man's shop, who Declan knew personally from his days with the 105th. "Hello Declan my boy, enjoying your retirement with a day on the town I sea."

"Yeah."

"Why hello there Phoenix you look happy there." Phoenix looked up at the old man and gave a happy bark before jumping from Declan's arms and onto the store counter, lying down. "Well, he seems quite happy there, what can i do you for?"

"Well, I was thinking of becoming a trainer, defeating the elite 4 and the champion you know."

"Really? Well, i never though you were the type to do that thing. But I'll get you ready. For free I'll give you the essentials, here's your bag, map and some poke balls."

"Can you give me a few super potions and some states heals, two of each if you got them."

"Sure, if you can get the money ready I would appreciate it." Declan got out his wallet as the old man headed to the back of the shop, gathering several items from the shelves. "Here you go, and have this, its on me." The old man gave Declan a revive, Declan was was washed back a bit.

"Jesse Lorry I can't accept this its too much."

"Nonsense, look after you boys in the service thats what I say, the hundred and firth has always been there for this region, and i think that i can repay you a little for your service."

"Mate I really appreciate it."

"Yeah, listen, mind if I see your team?"

"Sure." Declan activated his capture styler, which showed a roster of his team and their stats.

"Hm, listen, your going to have to head to Endrake city and have that modified to allow it to be a Pokedex and your going to have to apply for a trainer card. Does your Alomomola know surf?"

"I'm afraid not."

"Dang it, then you could go ver there right now. But I think there is a ferry for it leaving tomorrow, six a clock sharp. Until then, I suggest that you head around and find another Pokemon."

"What type do you suggest?"

"Well its up to you. Good luck."

"Alright see you then." And off with Phoenix he went, now prepared yet still unsure of where his journey would take him. To fame? Or to shame?

"As my Master spoke, Hello."

"No way," Kim shouted, "I didn't know pokemon could talk telepathically!" Regaining her composure, she continued to speak in a calmer tone, "Well I might as well introduce you to my team," she begins to point to her pokemon and names them off. "So I was wondering," says Kim, "could I battle you please."

"Altaria, start this off with dragon dance." Altaria starts to dance, the red glow covering her body again.
Tom grins, "Just as I thought, use supersonic!" Exploud lets loose a sound, and Altaria starts flying around crazy, before it hits the ground, confused. "Now Exploud, use ice fang!" Exploud bites down on Altaria, ice covering it's mouth. Altaria cries out, still confused and in pain. "Ice fang once more!" Exploud continues to bite down over and over, until Altaria is KO.
"Altaria is unable to battle!" The ref says, "Exploud wins!" Tom and Exploud rejoice as Arion recalls Altaria. His face still shows no emotion as he pulls out another pokeball.
"One down, three to go Exploud!" Exploud looks back and says Exploud happily.
Arion holds out his pokeball. "Come forth, Shellgon." Shellgon comes out on the battlefield, it's shell covering all but his eyes.

[Egyptian Mad Men]

Endrake City Gym

"Exploud! Let's finish this right away! Grab onto him with your mouth and use ice fang!" Exploud's mouth becomes covered in ice as he runs forward.
Arion commands, "Use dragonbreath." Shelgon blows green flames at Exploud, who grimaces but keeps running, enduring the pain. When he gets close, Arion says, "Protect." A transparent ball of green energy forms around him, and Exploud bites onto it before realizing he can't break through. "Now, hit him hard with double edge now." Shelgon becomes covered in a yellow power, and he hits Exploud, who's eyes get wide as he gets knocked back a couple feet. Exploud slowly stands as Tom waits for the after effects of double edge to hit Shelgon, but they don't.
"What; but how?" Tom asks.
Arion makes a hmph sound, "Shelgon's ability is rock head, the recoil doesn't affect him. In other words, I can use double edge over and over without having to worry about the after effects." Tom grits his teeth.
"Fine, Exploud, match his power and use giga impact!" Exploud runs forward, the air around him churning with power.
"Double edge." Shelgon nods and runs forward, the yellow energy covering him like before.
"DO IT!!!" Tom yells as they collide, causing an explosion. When the smoke clears, both pokemon lie there unconscious.
The ref calls out, "It's a double KO." Both recall their pokemon.
"I trust you've saved the best for last." Arion tells Tom.
Tom looks at his last pokeball before throwing it out. "Prinplup, let's show em how it's done!" A prinplup comes out onto the field.
Arion holds out his pokeball, "Come forth, Dragonair."

[Billugslovakc]

He had been wondering for hours in the bush, his body weary and achey. For much of the day, the only Pokemon he had encountered were weak pug types and a few Magikarps; nothing that could help him. However, as he prepairded to head home, a intimidating neigh echoed throughout the forest; sounding loud, strong and intimidating. Declan quickly turned, and bared witness to a wild Pokemon battle. A Ponyta was being hunted down by two Zebstrika, firing bolts of lighting at the little horse, who was dodging and weaving every attack, but looked like it couldn't take much more.

Pointy were rare in this part of the region; if he was to intervene, then not only would he save the Ponyta's life, but he could also gain a new pokemon out of this. Readying his poke balls, he headed into battle.

[Neo ORB]

I couldn't help cover my ears as Kim shouted loudly. But such a reaction was normal although I couldn't help but give a small look at Titania for blowing her telepathy, but my orders weren't clear so it was my fault in the end.
as I listened to her list off all her pokemon, I decided that I would remember there names.
However the wanting of a pokemon battle was a little more difficult as I looked at Titania.

"Master, I don't sense any hostile intent..."
"But I don't want to have you or Kyuu end up injured, its not like my budget allows for a lot of waste."
"Oh master." as Gardevoir lightly placed her hand on her head in a sigh like motion...
Sometimes it was creepy how much we acted like each other. Maybe it was a good thing we were so in sync, but as Gardevoir continued with her statement, I couldn't help but give-up with a small sigh as I relented.
"Don't worry master, I know you'll end this quickly without too much damage "
"Sometimes I wonder if you put too much faith in me..."
As I then steeled my resolve I looked at Kim and stood up as my free hand grabbed Titanias pokeball. With a small movement a red beam shot out as Titania turned red and then disappeared into the pokeball. As I placed it lightly back into its spot after returning it to miniature size, I then grabbed the other and felt it expand while I looked at Kim

"I only have two, but I hope your prepared, because I accept."
oh course I had a special surprise for anyone who challenged me as I had made my Pokémon's pokeballs a little more fanfare friendly with a complement of Seals from Sunnyshore City. For Kyuu, I had four Black Smoke D's combined with several Fire C&D to give a more explosive entrance.
and for Titania I had done various Black and White smoke with a few smaller thunderbolts to act as a cover for her glitter due to her being a shiny mutation.

and then I made a small pondering motion and spoke lightly somewhat caught in a sudden spiral of deep thought.
"Although, I've only ever heard Titania talk to me after she evolved, maybe it's because she's a mutation or it could be because of our bond... although she does also act sort of as a translator when I meet other Pokémon so maybe there are more who can speak by telepathy...

Maybe legendary's? No i'm sure that there could be some out there who have such an ability... that aren't mythical... but then.... hmmm... "
as my thought silently spun around I quickly pushed off the thought to some nether region of my brain and then with a quickly threw my pokeball into the air. With a click as it touched ground, the ball as it returned to my hand exploded as thick fire and smoke suddenly poured out as a Ninetails appeared in the epicentre, It's coat shiny and soft due to the time I spend brushing it almost daily.
At the same time the Sun suddenly grew even hotter as Kyuu roared playfully.

[Arngeir]

"How many badges do you have?" Jace asked the young trainer who had come to challenge him.
"None, I just started." he replied.
"You're from Newdell City, aren't you?" Jace asked, recognizing him, "I've seen you around. Okay, since you don't have any badges, I'll use two Pokemon."

Jace looked at his Lucario, Rio, and nodded towards a drawer behind him. The Pokemon nodded, opened the drawer and tossed him two Pokeballs. He nodded at the young trainer, signaling he was ready whenever the youngster was. The kid smiled and threw his first Pokeball, releasing an Eevee.

"Ah, an Eevee," Jace said smiling, "Very interesting Pokemon. Now then, Lil' Rio, I choose you!"

Jace threw his own Pokeball, releasing a Riolu. The two small Pokemon squared off, circling each other. The Eevee growled, though the Riolu just shrugged it off. Jace gave the command and Lil' Rio used the move Force Palm, striking hard, quickly causing it to faint. Jace explained type advantages, telling him that some Pokemon are stronger against other types, and the Fighting Type Pokemon were super effective against Normal Type Pokemon. He continued to explain that while planning for this was important, it wasn't the only thing that mattered. The kid nodded, and sent out a Rattata. A few smart moves later, and Lil' Rio was down.

"Good job!" Jace said, "You haven't won yet, though. Go, Machop!"

Jace sent out his Machop, immediately having it use Low Sweep. The Rattata wasn't deterred, however, and used Quick Attack, which was met with a Karate Chop. Jace's eyes went wide, however, when the Karate Chop missed. A hard bite later, and this kid had earned the Ring Badge. Jace smiled as he gave the kid the badge.

"Keep working hard, you'll be taking on the Elite Four in no time." he said.

Jace sent the two Pokemon to the Pokemon Center and decided to spend some time with Rio.

"Alright Prinplup, it's all up to you know." Tom tells Prinplup, who looks back and nods before saying Prinplup. "Start this off with ice beam!" Prinplup shoots a beam of ice at Dragonair.
Arion smirks to himself, "Dragonair, dodge it by using extremespeed." Dragonair disappears and reappears over and over, each time hitting Prinplup with it's tail, and Prinplup can't keep track.
"Prinplup, focus and use metal claw to block it everytime Dragonair reappears!" Prinplup's wings become white and he blocks it everytime Dragonair strikes. Dragonair appears behind Prinplup and wraps it's tail around Prinplup.
"Thunder." Dragonair uses thunder and Prinplup looks to be in tremendous pain.
Tom's eyes get wide, "Prinplup!"
"Now, wrap this up with outrage." Arion commands, and Dragonair's body glows red as it unleashes a barrage of attacks, before backing away. Prinplup stands for a second, before hitting the ground.
"Prinplup is unable to battle! Dragonair is the winner, and so the winner is the Endrake City Gym Leader, Arion!" Arion walks up to Tom, as Tom recalls his pokemon.
"You did great Prinplup, now get a nice rest." He notices Arion walking up to him and looks down at the ground.
Arion, his as serious as ever, says, "Lift your head up." Tom does, "You have a fine bond with your pokemon, and you fought well. With some gyms and battles, brute strength will grant you victory, but not in this gym. Come back and face me, I'll be here." Arion nods at the referee, who leads the trainer out of the gym.
Arion puts his hand under the Dragonair's chin, who's eyes show it's happy. "Well done Dragonair, let's get you and the others healed up and fed, eh?"

[Billugslovakc]

Throwing his poke balls into the field, he issued his orders to his pokemon.

"Altissimo use protect and then use Heal Pulse on that Ponyta." Splashing down in a nearby stream, Altissimo projected a clear blue sphere around the Ponyta, stopping several thunder bolts making contact. She then projected the Heal Pulse onto the Ponyta; healing some of its wounds.

"Rounder, use Bulk Up a few times and then rock tomb; be prepared for the bulk of their attacks!" Rounder did as he was told, his body becoming more muscular and toned. He then catapulted several rocks at the Zebstrikas, who avoided some of the attacks but halted their advance.

"Phoenix, go around the rear and use sand attack and howl several times, act as a distraction so Rounder can get a shot!" Phoenix did as he was told, using the moves and diverting the Zebtrika's attention from Rounder to him. They began a flame charge attack. "Quick, Rounder use U-turn and switch places with Phoenix, Phoenix use bite on both once each and then retreat!" The two did as they were told, both were enveloped in a free glow nd then switched places, Rounder's sudden appearance caught the wild Pokemon off guard, and Phoenix attacks, now pumped up from howl, inflicted massive damage.

After Phoenix exited the battle zone, Rounder delivered a powerful earthquake attack, knocking out the two pokemon. Calling his Pokemon, he went over to the Ponyta and checked it for its wounds. Altissimo had healed some of the damage but the packmen still needed proper medical attention. "Hey little guy. How are you?" The Ponyta looked up at him, afraid. "I'm just going to scan you, see if you belong to anyone." He quickly scared the Pokemon, and it came up with moves and other information. "Hang on, Sunny Day? Thats a move only learned by TM. Do you have a trainer." The Ponyta looked away, as if remembering a tragic event; he had seen it before. "They released you didn't they?" It gave a nod as if to say yes. "Why?"

The Ponyta revealed a bruised portion of its neck, the bruises matching that of a chain. "My god; they hurt you didn't they? You escaped?" The Ponyta gave a nod. "Listen, we need to get you medical attention, will you come with me?" Declan extended his hand to the Ponyta, who looked at it for a few seconds, then at Declan's face, then at his hand. It gave it a lick as if to say that it trusts him to take it to a Poke centre. Trailing behind them, the Ponyta kept its distance from Declan, unsure if this human is really kind, or just a mirage hiding another human like the last.

"Alright Prinplup, it's all up to you know." Tom tells Prinplup, who looks back and nods before saying Prinplup. "Start this off with ice beam!" Prinplup shoots a beam of ice at Dragonair.
Arion smirks to himself, "Dragonair, dodge it by using extremespeed." Dragonair disappears and reappears over and over, each time hitting Prinplup with it's tail, and Prinplup can't keep track.
"Prinplup, focus and use metal claw to block it everytime Dragonair reappears!" Prinplup's wings become white and he blocks it everytime Dragonair strikes. Dragonair appears behind Prinplup and wraps it's tail around Prinplup.
"Thunder." Dragonair uses thunder and Prinplup looks to be in tremendous pain.
Tom's eyes get wide, "Prinplup!"
"Now, wrap this up with outrage." Arion commands, and Dragonair's body glows red as it unleashes a barrage of attacks, before backing away. Prinplup stands for a second, before hitting the ground.
"Prinplup is unable to battle! Dragonair is the winner, and so the winner is the Endrake City Gym Leader, Arion!" Arion walks up to Tom, as Tom recalls his pokemon.
"You did great Prinplup, now get a nice rest." He notices Arion walking up to him and looks down at the ground.
Arion, his as serious as ever, says, "Lift your head up." Tom does, "You have a fine bond with your pokemon, and you fought well. With some gyms and battles, brute strength will grant you victory, but not in this gym. Come back and face me, I'll be here." Arion nods at the referee, who leads the trainer out of the gym.
Arion puts his hand under the Dragonair's chin, who's eyes show it's happy. "Well done Dragonair, let's get you and the others healed up and fed, eh?"

Fervis started clapping slowly after the young trainer left. He managed to make it to Endrake City and watch a small part of the battle. "That battle went well. What would we Elite Four do without you gym leaders here?" he asked a bit sarcastically.

Arion looks up at Fervis and grins, something he doesn't do often, "Well well, if it isn't my old rival. What brings you here to Endrake, old friend?

Fervis jumped down from the stands and crossed the gym to his rival. "Oh not much. I just got bored up at Silverview and decided to do a little cross country. It's amazing how fast you can get around a region when you have a flying Pokémon. Anyway, what have you been up to, aside from making sure I don't have challengers lining up at my door."

Arion shrugs, recalling his Dragonair into a pokeball. "Nothing much really." Something crosses his mind, "Well actually, we do have a minor problem. As you know, below this cliff is a giant maze like cave. There are many different passageways, so many I have yet to explore them all. I had meant to contact you, but I've been facing quite a few travelers lately, ever since Fulgia's roads opened back up. A fire type pokemon is down there, on a rampage. Besides from the fact that I can't tame it quite like you can... it stops rampaging when it senses me nearby, and it hides itself."

"And you want me to check it out and see if I can calm it down. That could work, fire types are a bit of a proud group and they would more than likely challenge another fire type that comes near its territory. Any clue what the fire type is though?"
