[i]"Hey, you!" Chance called out to Blake, his blue eyes starting to shift warily between the two teenage trainers. "Know how to get to the center of the city?"[/i]

Blake had been watching the battle intently and he had to say he was impressed with what he had seen. So impressed that he had barely managed to catch the message that had been announced earlier But he snapped out of it when one of the small group of people had assembled had asked him where the Pokemon Center was. 

"Sorry, I just got here a few days ago." He said with a smile. I heard about a tournament and here I am although it looks like I'm really early. If you don't mind I'll travel with you for a bit though, I was hoping to give my buddies here a look over at the center."

Blake turned and looked as he heard the sound of his Croconaw trying to get his attention. "What's up buddy?" He asked and a moment later he had his answer as his Beldum floated in front of the Munchlax. From what Blake could see, it looked like he was trying to get a laugh out of the Munchlax.

[i]"Bel. Beldum. Bel."[/i]

Blake walked over and tried to grab the floating Pokemon. "Don't you remember our little talk about getting in other Pokemon's space?" He asked calmly as he tried to grab Beldum only to have it float just out of reach.

[i]"Beldum."[/i]

Blake sighed heavily and looked at the others and forced a smile. "He's still a bit new to my little team. He also likes to have fun at both me and my Croconaw's expense. Come on, don't misbehave like this!"

Blake looked up and saw that Beldum was making a familiar sound. it was laughing at it's own antics.

"Would you please behave just once?!" Blake called up in mock desperation.

[i]"Beldum!"[/i]

Blake shook his head. I'll take that as a "no."
