[@Iatos]
Lucario had finished talking with Sensei Sawk and Sensei Throh about the day's training, when he felt the presence behind him. He didn't turn, but simply scanned the nearby aura. It was Tzerah, and her aura was brighter than he had seen it all week. He closed his eyes and chuckled. [color=004b80]"I see you're decently rested now, Tzerah. And... I heard from Magnezone about your suspension, and I know how you feel about your work."[/color] He finally turned and opened his eyes, setting them upon the Luxray. [color=004b80]"I know you know that it's for your own good as well, though. And, if you ever get bored, you can always help around the Guild."[/color]

He quickly scanned her aura again, trying to sense the emotion she held. It seemed twisted, she was grateful, but also seemed embarrassed, possibly from he and Takeo carrying her from his restaurant to the Guild. [color=004b80]"We've got time before Rico and Lulu get here for training, how about a sparring match? Might help work out your pent up anger over today."[/color]

The twins took their seat with Zaru, and struck up some light chat while the sandwiches were being made. [color=7ea7d8]"You asked earlier how the training was going? Well, could be better..."[/color] Lulu said, nervously laughing. [color=0072bc]"Our dad's been trying to teach us Aura Sphere, it's a really hard move to learn if you aren't a Lucario it seems. We've been working a lot, but so far we haven't even so much as produced a spark of aura energy."[/color] After answering the question, Slurpuff came over, silently sliding the sandwiches onto their table. [color=0072bc]"Thank you Mr. Slurpuff!"[/color] The twins said in unison.

As they dug into their sandwiches, Rico explained about them a little. [color=0072bc]"Mr. Slurpuff has this amazing recipe combo he uses for this. He uses sliced Chesto, Pecha, and a pinch of Tomato for that nice little kick. Then he puts it between this Oran Berry Bread and it's just perfect!"[/color] Soon, though, his mouth was too filled with the delectable sandwich to speak.

[h3][color=ed1c24]Flash the Scizor[/color], [color=gray]Boulder Mountain[/color][/h3]

Flash waited impatiently outside the East Slope exit of Boulder Mountain. He had made it through no problem, what could be keeping his gang? Soon he spotted his Cacturne minions trudging out of the cave. [color=007236]"Well, I'm surprised, we didn't run into nearly as many locals as I thought. How many were in that one cave, fifty maybe?"[/color] The lead Cacturne locked eyes with Flash, and immediately saw the disappointment in his eyes. The Crustle group came not long after. Both groups seemed completely drained of energy. Flash through a bunch of Oran Berries to them.

[color=ed1c24]"Eat up, then we head out."[/color] His gang may have taken it as a sign of kindness from the hardened villain, but Flash just wanted to make sure he had his assets covered. He didn't want to be going into a battle with a bunch of out of breath idiots backing him up. [color=ed1c24]"So, how much longer till we reach this place now?"[/color] The lead Cacturne spoke up. [color=007236]"Should be just a few more miles, boss."[/color] Flash smiled, soon he'd personally beat down the guy who thought he could take down Flash the Scizor.
