Note: [s]Ripped off[/s] Inspired by Saiba Aisu (there are not enough letters in the world to describe how sorry I am), when ever I post a intro or transition post I shall label it as "GM Post", Ice and Black have access to these posts.

[center][b]GM Post: The Voyager/Hiun City[/b][/center]

The soft crashing of the Isshu Ocean pounded the large blue boat. It had been several days since The Voyager had left from Sinnoh shores to escort the passengers to Isshu to tour the new land. Some came for a new start, some came to claim the land of a growing nation, some just came along for the ride, some came in hopes of gaining the title of the recently uncrowned Elite Four Champion but some came with a more sinister intent.

Suddenly in the rich sapphire seas, a cluster of land was visible, a few minutes later the land became large emerald trees, which then revealed a large city, surrounded by a lush forest, Purtoga swam by as Mamanbou jumped from the sea, playfully dancing around the large boat.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, We approach Isshu"

The large boat finally approached the land, stopping completely at the large wooden dock.

"Welcome to Hiun City, we hope you enjoy your time in Isshu and thank you for choosing The Voyager for your traveling needs."

Two Machokes opened the door and pulled out the large metal bridge, allowing the passengers to enter the new world.

[spoiler=Note]Well here's the intro! Not my best work ^^, I have changed the Gym Order due to it not making sense for the First Gym Leader not being in the first discovered city. Second Gym Leader is in Shippou City and Third is Sanyou City.

Don't worry I'll change their teams, but they still have the same types.

Have fun! ^^[/spoiler]

Kanade Suzumi stepped off the boat nervously, her brown hair blowing in the Isshu breeze. Here she was, in a whole new world, with nobody to lean on or help her. With these thoughts, the slight girl began to tremble a bit. She hugged her Voltorb close to her chest, feeling the comforting pulse of humming electricity against the fabric. She would always have Voltorb, wouldn't she?

The girl started to walk with more confidence, but she accidentally bumped into a Gentleman who was disembarking the craft as well. He peered over at her through his monocle, giving Kana a huff of disapproval. This elicited a blush from the innocent girl as she nervously stood off to the side of the landing, Voltorb dozing in her arms.

[i]Where did her father say she had to go again...?[/i]

[Blake]

((Wow, no posts other than Clairice?? Dayum. BTW, Zhu is the French pronunciation of you. It's heavy on a J sound at the beginning.))

Stepping off of the boat, Ralis took in a deep breath of the sea air. It was so much different at the docks than it was on the open sea. As he attempted to move forward, he felt a slight tug on the back of his jeans' left leg, and smiled to himself. He knew exactly what it was: Sic, his baby Larviar. He acted as if he did not feel her tugging, then spun around suddenly, and swooped the tiny Larvitar up, into his arms. "I got zhu, non?" He asked, smiling wide for the baby, who just giggled and utter "Lar, Larvitar!" in a high pitched squeal. He tickled the little pokemon under its chin, earning more gigles, and accidentally bumbed into Kanade, because he had not been watching where he was going. "Oh, excusez-moi. I did not mean to bump into zhu like that. Pardone." He said, bowing his head in apology. "So, why are zhu here in Isshu, Madamemoiselle... I did not catch zhour name, Madamemoiselle. I am Ralis Jacques." He said, extending his hand to shake. "And this little bundle of joy is Sic." He motioned to the baby, who turned over, and hid in his arms, eliciting a whole-hearted laugh from Ralis.

[Limited Edition KING]

Alex stepped out of the ships doors and stared directly into the city, he could just barely hear the city's movements or the crowd for he had his music on his ipod at full volume. His Brown hair flowed gently with the cool breeze of Isshu as he took another step after a few more steps he was off of the ship and set foot on the city's ground. [i]'Well what a nice ride, I thoroughly enjoyed nearly throwing up overboard.'[/i] Alex thought as he started walking, he could see other trainers around him disembarking the ship or have already disembarked from the ship, already meeting new friends. [i]'Hm, now where did father say I should head off first? Oh yes that's right he told me there would be a package waiting for me in the City's pokemart. I suppose I should head off there and receive this package.'[/i] Jason thought and started walking then stopped because he felt his pocket shaking. "Oh, sorry you must have been reckless during our trip Tortu okay then come out for a walk with me!" Jason grabbed a pokeball out of his pocket and threw it on the ground. His Turtwig hatched out of the Pokeball and yawned and stretched afterward. Alex knelt down and pet his Turtwig which he received only a short while ago. Both Trainer and Pokemon smiled at each other and started walking towards the city.

[Clair]

Kana squeaked as she bumped into another man, one who happened to be cradling a baby Larvitar. She was just about to profusely apologize when the man started uttering clipped English from his mouth, a warm smile on his face. Kana relaxed a bit at the man's reassuring stare. The fledgling Trainer blushed as Ralis bowed to her slightly. Her mind flashed back to Slateport, where everybody in the city knew her name, bowing to her daily.

"H-hai..." Kana said shakily, smiling nervously, while clutching Voltorb nervously to her chest. "My name is Kanade, but people call m-me Kana..." She didn't want to give Ralis her last name, as her father had told her about stranger danger, and Kanade was a good girl who obeyed her parents.

"Oh! And this is Volty." Voltorb perked up as his name was mentioned, buzzing with contentment. Kana bit her lip, unsure of what to add to her greeting.

"N-nice to meet you, Jacques-san."

[Blake]

((Also, non is pronounced no, but more nasally. And z replaces th))

Ralis chuckled slightly at Kana's awkwardness. "Non, non, mademoiselle, there is no need for zis nervousness. If I did not know better, I would say you were a Larvitar, like zis one, in a human's body." Sic burrowed further into Ralis' arms and chest as he spoke, not wishing to be noticed. He gently rubbed the top of the Larvitar's head as he spoke. "Oh, and zere is no need for zese honorifics eizer. Just call me Ralis, s'il vous plait." Ralis knelt down, and set the little pokemon on the ground, laughing when it attached to his leg. Moving his hand, Ralis pet the Voltorb, smiling as he did such. "Volty, eh? A nice name for a Voltorb, non?" Shaking his leg, he turned from Kana, and looked down to Sic, whose eyes were shut tight in fear. "Oh, come on now, Sic. Say hi to Madamemoiselle Kana." He pulled the baby up once more, and held it out to Kana. "Go ahead. She will not bite, literally."

[iCherry]

Making her way off of the boat, Lucy held Ralts in her arms very tightly, making sure not to let go so nothing would happen to her. Honestly, she was too busy squeezing Ralts to realize what she was supposed to do next. Then, the girl started looking around, completely confused. She saw people walking off the boat and leaving to their business, but she stood there only thinking: [i]Where was I supposed to go again...?[/i] Lucy turned her attention down to the trainer with the baby Larvitar and the other one holding a Voltorb. The girl began to walk that way, to make some friends and to ask for directions or help, but then she stopped. "They're talking, so maybe I should wait..."

[Clair]

Kanade was evidently taken aback by Ralis's accommodating ways. He was so casual and cool ... the new Trainer was a bit jealous of his social graces. What surprised Kana the most was that Ralis had asked her to drop the honorifics. No one had ever requested that of her, and it was going to be a hard habit to snap.

Blushing profusely as Ralis compared her to Sic, Kana finally found the courage to speak. "Hauuu... I'm sure Volty appreciates your comments, Jacques-s..." She stopped herself, remembering Ralis's wishes.

"... Ralis!"

She nervously accepted his offer and reached out to pet the Larvitar, but as she did, Voltorb suddenly perked up. His eyes bulged and he rolled out of Kana's arms and across the way, stopping to gaze at a trainer's Ralts with a fascinated expression.

"Hauuuu..." Kanade bit her lip and moved quickly to try and retrieve her escaping Voltorb. "Excuse me, R-ralis-san..."

She ran up to Voltorb and picked him off the ground, blushing in embarrassment. "Gomen... Volty gets overexcited..." she said to the Ralt's trainer, who looked as confused as Kana was.

[Blake]

Sic cringed before she ws touched, and sat still for a few moments after, before peeking an eye open, to see Kana running away. Relaxing, the Larvitar looked up at her trainer, bewildered, and apparently asking something. "Oui, zhu can get in ze bag with ze egg for a little while." The baby cried in joy as it climbed up his arm, to the backpack on his back. She unzipped it, and cllimbed in, apparently hugging something in the bag warm and affectionately.

Ralis chuckled at his baby Pokemon, and walked towards Kana and the trainer with a Ralts. "Bonjour, Mademoiselle." He said, bowing slightly to the other trainer. "I am Ralis Jacques, nice to meet you." As he finished his introduction, he looked to Kana once more. "Non, it is fine. All Pokemon can be a bit... jumpy at times. Somezing must have gotten his attencion."

[iCherry]

Ralts looked down at the Voltorb with a similar fanscinated expression. Lucy watched the trainer pick up the Pokemon before she finally thought of a response. "It's okay... I like Pokemon that can be cheerful and excited." She told Voltorb's trainer, even though that this information probably wasn't needed. Lucy just wanted to make conversation, as she seemed lonely before the trainer actually spoke to her. Holding Ralts, Lucy made her way over to the girl. "Hi, I'm Lucy. Who are you?" Introducing herself and asking for the female trainer's name, Lucy put on a smile to make friends with the girl and the other trainer who had spoke to her.

[Clair]

[i]What an awkward way to meet someone![/i] Kana thought, nervously brushing hair out of her face, clutching Voltorb tightly once again. Thinking she should probably get to know the lone trainer, Kana felt a burst of confidence as Lucy shot a smile in her direction.

"Hai, my name is Kana," she said cheerfully, looking at the girl happily. She seemed nice, too! "Nice to meet you, L-lucy-san..."

Pausing for a moment to take a breath, Kana kept motoring along. "Jacques-san and I just met, too. What are you doing in Isshu, Lucy?"

Kanade felt strangely comfortable around her new coterie of friends, and she hoped that they would stay with her...

[iCherry]

"...Um..." Meeting new friends made Lucy incredibly happy on the inside. So happy, that her entire reason for coming to Isshu nearly slipped her mind. But then she remembered and decided to let it be known before she forgot again. "I'm here for the Isshu League. What about you two?" Lucy answered and then curiously questioned. Ralts had a somewhat irritated expression, knowing that Lucy getting all happy would make her forget what she's supposed to do next. If she hasn't already.

[Blake]

"Larvi~" Could be heard from Ralis' back as Lucy introduced herself. Ralis chuckled at the baby, and carried on his conversation. "Well, nice to make your acquaintance, madamoiselle Lucy." Ralis gently grabbed her hand, and bowed slightly, and pecked her hand, before letting her hand go and standing upright. "What a beautiful young lady you are." He said, smiling. "Oh, mignonette," He said glancing at Kana, "I am not Jacques-san, remember? Just Ralis, s'il vous plait. I do not wish to be called san when I am clearly just a traner lik zhu." The little Larvitar squirmed out of the backpack, and climbed onto Ralis head, putting her belly on the top of his head and looking forward. Sic looked slightly terrified, but quickly seemed to just enjoy laying there. Ralis reached up and tickled Sic's chin, get a high pitched giggle, and then answered Lucy's question. "I am just here for ze experience, and to add new Pokemon to my roster. All I really have are my Larvitar, Sic, and an egg."

[Clair]

Kanade noticed Lucy's face light up with a smile, which made her feel warm on the inside. Lucy-san seemed like a nice girl and an even better friend...

"Hau hau~ I'm here for the Isshu League, too!" Kana exclaimed excitedly. Voltorb perked up at the mention of Kana's dream, and buzzed in appreciation. She blushed as Ralis reprimanded her for using the honorifics again. "Gomenasai, Ralis-..." she murmured, bowing her head towards him in a courteous manner. She giggled at the sight of Ralis's Larvitar laying precariously on top of his head.

"Just one thing, though..." she turned to the both of them with a nervous look on her face. "I have no idea where to go first." Kanade blushed at her bluntness.

[iCherry]

"N-nice to meet you t-too..." Lucy nervously responded to Ralis, giggling and blushing when he pecked her hand. Ralts looked up at Larvitar with a welcoming expression. Ralts was happy to meet new Pokemon, and Lucy was happy to make new friends. "M-maybe we can travel together then? Since we're both going the same way...?" Lucy stuttered a bit at the beginning of her sentence, replying to Kanade's words. This way, she could make friends and keep close to others, which made her feel better. To this, Ralts' body warmed up slightly in Lucy's arms. Then, Lucy stopped and frowned a bit at the last words Kanade said. "...Neither do I." She replied. Doing [i]exactly[/i] what Ralts thought she would.

[Limited Edition KING]

Alex removed his earphones and wrapped them around his Ipod and placed them firmly in his pocket, then smiled back at his Turtwig. "Well then I suppose we had better move along then right Tortu?" Alex asked Turtwig who smiled back and nodded his head repeatedly. Turtwig grew excited and started walking ahead of Alex moving one foot in the air then placed it down taking a big step forward. Turtwig lifted his right foot and did the same thing except this time he stumbled over, he still wasn't used to walking often. Alex facepalmed but quickly smiled at Turtwig. "Everyone stumbles when they first learn to walk, it's not a big deal come on let me carry you." Alex went on grab Turtwig but Turtwig moved his head refusing to be picked up. Turtwig moved his left leg and placed it down and slipped again. [i]'Oh boy this is going to take a while.'[/i] Jason thought as he and Turtwig who now seems to be able to walk along fine started to head off.

[Blake]

"Oui, oui!" Ralis said, excitedly, to the concept of travelling together. "Why would I not want to travel with two beautiful ladies, hm?" He grinned, sincerely, and turned towards the town, answering the question the girls have posed. "I zink zat zere is a Gym in zis town, ubt I am not completely sure. We could look around town in order to see, non? We should probably head zat way to look around ze town... unless, you girls need to get somezing off of the ship? Eizer way, I am ready to go at any time." Ralis turned towards the city, waiting on the girls to either come his way, or do whatever they needed to. Sic rolled over, on his head, and landed perfectly in his arms, which he had moved to catch her, knowing what she was going to do. "Well, well, someone is playful today, eh?"

[Limited Edition KING]

Alex was now walking past multiple buildings searching for the Pokemart. Turtwig was looking around sightseeing all the tall buildings, which made him shiver at the size difference there was between him and the buildings. Turtwig tugged on Alex's Blue trousers "Huh? What's up Tortu?" Turtwig moved his right foot to his right indicating that he had found something he wanted Alex to look at. "Ah there's the Pokemart! Good looking there Tortu!" Turtwig smiled as Alex knelt down to pat him on the head. "I don't know if they allow Pokemon in the Pokemart so you'll have to go in your Pokeball for now." Turtwig's smile turned into a frown as it didn't like being in its Pokeball. "Don't worry Tortu it will only for a few minutes." Alex placed Turtwig, now in its Pokeball into his pocket and stepped inside the Pokemart. Inside the shop there were items among isles filed with food and trainer accessories. [i]'I'd love to shop around but now I've got to get this package.'[/i] Alex walked up to the counter and rang the bell. "Hello my name is Alex Skives, my father told me to pick up a package from this Pokemart when I arrived." Alex waited patiently for the clerk to reply. "Well yes we do here it is! It's a Pokemon from this region called Pokabu the fire pig Pokemon. You're father also left a note for you." The store clerk replied handing the paper and Pokeball to Alex.

'Dear Alex,

I hope you're trip was a success and that you've received this package! I'm busy as usual working for Professor Elm. I hope you take care of the Pokemon Pokabu I've sent you. Much like Turtwig it is a very rare and can become a powerful pokemon if raised well. I'm sure you'll have no problems with raising it, anyways Good luck on your league challenge!

Love Father.'

Alex thanked the clerk and walked out of the shops doors, before he did he purchased a town map that showed where to go in the region. [i]Okay, my next step should be the Gym... This map only shows the routes to the next towns, there was a group of people outside of the city maybe I should ask them if they know where to go, as they look like other trainers.'[/i] Alex rushed out of the city back towards the harbour where he saw those people in minutes he saw them and panted hard as he walked in to the group. "*PANT, PAN, PANT* Sorry to interupt but do you guys know where the Gym is? And if it's possible could I travel with you towards the Gym?" Alex gulped and rested as he waited for an answer.

(Clair, Black, Cherry my character's asking you three.)

[Barkit]

The sun was shining high and bright as the boat approached land. A young man standing tall with a smile on his face and his dark green hair and black coat tail swaying in the wind. The atmosphere was most relaxing and luxurious. Many trainers occupied the boat, particularly the deck since the boat was preparing to dock.

"[b]Welcome to Hiun City, we hope you enjoy your time in Isshu and thank you for choosing The Voyager for your traveling needs.[/b]" The young man looked down upon the dock as two Machokes bring out the connecting metal platform. He waited to allow other trainers before him proceed off the boat before stepping down himself. As the trainers passed him by, something caught his eye over the side of the boat. He looks over and sees nothing but ocean water gently ride across from the boat. After a few seconds of staring, he sees what grabbed his attention. There was a sparkle coming from the water. No matter how hard he tried, the young man just couldn't make out what it was that was shining like that. He had no choice but to brush it off as most of the passengers have already exited the boat. He follows the crowd and makes his way onto the dock. He inhales deeply and looks around in all directions. Pulling out his pokeball from his belt strap, he stared down at the star and heart stickers on it. The heart represented the Pokémon inside was one of his favorites that he really cared for. The star represented the Pokémon was the one he was starting a brand new journey with. After a minute, he places the ball back on his belt under his coat and proceeds into town.

"[color="#008000"]I can't believe we finally made it. This is really cool. Guess I should head to the Pokémon Center first and give Mom a buzz.[/color]" To make into a bad pun, he looked over toward the end of the dock and saw a trainer giving his two Pokémon poffins. The two Pokémon just so happened to be an Electabuzz and a Beedrill. An annoyed looked formed on the young man's face. "[color="#008000"]That's not what I meant! Guess my stroke of coincidental puns followed me to this new region as well.[/color]" Blowing off the bad joke, he makes his way into Hiun City and heads west to the Pokémon Center. As he enters through the automatic sliding doors, he is greeted by Nurse Joy and a Blissey behind the counter.

"[color="#FF00FF"]Good afternoon and welcome to Hiun City's Pokémon Center. How may I help you today?[/color]" The young man smiled and stepped up to the counter, handing the nurse is pokeball.

"[color="#008000"]Hi, Nurse Joy! Can you check up on my Pokémon while I make a phone call home?[/color]" The nurse accepted the pokeball on a tray and nodded.

"[color="#FF00FF"]Why, of course. We will make sure your Pokémon is it peak condition.[/color]" As the nurse and her Pokémon assistant proceed to the back, the young man walks over to the phones and calls home. A woman wearing an apron answers on the other end.

"[color="#008000"]Hi, Mom. It's me, Shanzu![/color]" The woman squeals with excitement.

"[color="#ADD8E6"]Oh hi, Shanzu dear! I trust you made it to Hiun City safe and sound?[/color]"

"[color="#008000"]Sure did. The boat ride was exciting too. I saw tons of trainers and their Pokémon. It feels like everyone from around the world came aboard to come to this one region. I can't wait to see what it's like here.[/color]"

"[color="#ADD8E6"]Well I know how you love to explore and see new things so I'm sure you'll really enjoy it there![/color]"

"[color="#008000"]You bet! Hey, how's everyone doing there?[/color]"

"[color="#ADD8E6"]Oh, you mean your Pokémon? They're doing wonderful! In fact, they're helping me cook dinner right now.[/color]" Suddenly, a group of Pokémon appeared on the screen, all crying out to Shanzu in excitement.

"[color="#008000"]Hey guys! We made it to Hiun City! I'll be sure to catch some Pokémon here and send them to you guys so you can see all the newly discovered Pokémon from this region![/color]" All of the Pokémon cheer as his mom appears back on the screen.

"[color="#ADD8E6"]Well we've gotta get back to making dinner for now but be sure to call us occasionally and let us know how your journey's going. I wanna know everything that you experience on the new region so maybe me and your father can plan a trip there one day and take a vacation.[/color]" Shanzu laughs

"[color="#008000"]No problem, Mom. Tell Dad I said hi and take good care of my Pokémon for me while I'm gone.[/color]"

"[color="#ADD8E6"]Bye, honey! Be safe![/color]" The screen goes black and Shanzu hangs up the phone. Just as he got up, Nurse Joy calls him over to the counter.

"[color="#FF00FF"]Here is your Pokémon. It's in perfect health.[/color]" Shanzu received the pokeball containing his Pokémon and nods.

"[color="#008000"]Thank you, Nurse Joy. I'll see you around![/color]"

"[color="#FF00FF"]Take care and come back again anytime![/color]" And with that, Shanzu runs out of the center and back to the center of town. He looked around but didn't see a gym anywhere in his field of vision. This would appear normal to other trainers but for Shanzu, it was a weird action. He never did care to compete on Pokémon League Competitions in any of the other regions so he never did challenge gym leaders for badges. All he really wanted was to explore and take in everything the amazing world of Pokémon has to offer. But upon departing for this new region, he promised himself that he would make this his first true pilgrimage and collect badges in order to compete in this region's league competition. This also meant that he would really have to buckle down and work hard with his Pokémon. This doesn't mean he's a novice trainer though. He's pretty adept and can hold his own very well. After a bit of exploring, Shanzu found his way to the Pokemart. He decided to enter and have a look inside at the different items on sale. He saw other people in the store as well, presumebly fellow trainers like himself.

[Ice.]

A lone figure walked down a deserted hall in some kind of building. The figure continued down the hall until it reached a door. It entered a passcode and the door opened, leading to another hall. The hall seemed as if it was part of a different building, as this hall was highly populated. People were walking around, wearing silver jackets and pants, with the moon on the back of the jackets. Some of them wore masks, some didn't. The masks that were being worn were pretty basic. The mask was a silver face with angry black eye-sockets and an angry mouth-hole. The face was made to seem intimidating. When the people all saw the figure, they immediately stopped moving. Some people were whispering to others. The dominant word being heard was "Alex". The people gave the figure some sort of odd salute and the figure returned the salute back to them. He walked down the hall, out of their sight, into the darkness.

- - -

"Crap, I'm late." Uttered a Girl as she rushed towards the Hiun City ports and saw groups of people. "Ugh, being a Gym Leader's kid is so annoying sometimes." Muttered the girl as she scanned the groups. She noticed a group of 4 people. Two boys, two girls. "They seem like the best to talk to. I'm not in the mood to talk to crazy middle aged tourists." The girl walked up to the group, and put on her best "happy face" and greeted them. "Hey! Welcome to Isshu! I'm the 7th Gym Leader's daughter! Nice to meet you all! Well, judging by your ages, you're all probably interested in the Isshu Gym Challenge, right? Well, the first Gym is right over there!" The girl then pointed in the direction of the Gym. [i]"Did I do good...?"[/i]

[Barkit]

After making a few purchases of Potions, Antidotes, and a few Pokeballs, Shanzu casually walks out of the store. He stops to think for a moment where he should go next. Suddenly, a thought came to mind. He still hasn't let his Pokémon out of its ball to explore with him.

"[color="#008000"]You know, I still haven't let my Pokémon out of its ball to explore with me. I know how to change that![/color]" He reaches into his belt pocket and pulls out the pokeball. "[color="#008000"]Alright! Come on...huh?[/color]" Before he could successfully release his Pokémon, his attention is caught by another trainer some odd distances away from him, who appeared to be pointing in the opposite direction of where he came from. He noticed her long light blue hair and became mesmerized by it. Without giving it much thought, he started to proceed towards the young female who appeared to be conversating with a group of Pokémon trainers. He approached the group in a casual manner and began to turn on the formalities by first introducing himself. "[color="#008000"]Hey there. Are you all trainers here to explore the new region too? If so, that's great! My name is Shanzu. So, who are you guys, if I may ask?[/color]" Even though he was addressing the group of trainers, he was particularly interested in the blue-haired trainer more so than the others. Being in close range to her, he got a better look at her tranquil blue eyes that matched and complimented her hair and attire. Something about this girl gave Shanzu a strange feeling inside of him, almost as if he was infatuated with her, but he seems to be hiding it well enough...for now. However, he failed to realize that he was still holding his still-yet-to-be-released Pokémon’s pokeball in his hand. To make it worse, the special decorations that he usually hides from other people can be seen in plain view now. "[i][color="#008000"]This girl..... She's really cute, huh...[/color][/i]"

[Limited Edition KING]

He stopped panting and has finally managed to catch his breath, he turned his head and saw two other people a boy and a girl who looked the same age as the others around him. [i]'So, this is the 7th Gym Leaders daughter? Well I wonder if she's as powerful as her father.'[/i] Alex looked back at the girl who pointed at the City's gym. "You say you're a Gym Leaders daughter? Not only that but one that's powerful enough to have earned the rank of 7th Gym Leader." Alex had a realization that the way he sounded may not have been the best choice. [i]'Crap, I shouldn't have sounded so disrespectful especially to someone whose father is much more powerful than her, and myself for that matter. I'm not doubting my own abilities it's just facts... Why the hell am I talking to myself like there's someone else in my mind?'[/i] Alex looked at the other trainers in the group rapidly seemingly ignoring them, panicking and trying to think of a way out of this situation. [i]'A smoke ball would be most handy right now...'[/i] Alex thought then looked around at the buildings, and saw the Gym again. "Well see you guys I'm off to the gym!" Alex blurted out and dashed in the direction of the Gym.

- A minute of dashing later -

[i]'Phew, finally made it to the gym. Now to just open the door and get my first gym badge!'[/i] Alex thought then reached in his pocket and grabbed both his Pokeballs "You two guys ready?" Alex asked his Pokemon, who were still in there Pokeballs but he could see Turtwig smile and lift his foot up, however his new Pokabu was still asleep in his Pokeball. Alex sighed when he saw Pokabu sleeping [i]'Great, my newest pokemon is sleeping, I just hope I won't have to use it during this gym challenge.'[/i]
