"Well, I do have one surprise." Liam said.

[James Davy]

"What would that be?" asked Shiranui.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam pulled a nicely folded purple cloth our from his bag. He unfolded it to show it was the cape of a Grand Duke/Duchess from the Battle Chateau.

[James Davy]

"So you managed to surpass your own father in the Battle Chateau," commented Shiranui, "Congratulations."

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Thank you." Liam replied. "Deli!" came a loud cry from behind and above the heroes.

[James Davy]

"Looks like our old friend Delibird is here," Shiranui remarked.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Deli." Delibird replied holding a package up to Liam. Liam took it. He tipped the Delibird 5 Pokédolars. Deli bird smiled "Deli deli!" It then took off. Liam found a note under the twine that wrapped around the brown paper bag like wrapping. He opened the note and read it aloud:
"Liam,
I am proud of you and Shiranui for making it to the Kalos League. Enclosed is a gift that I had made for each of you. I also found a couple Pokémon that were causing mischief around the Pokémon Center. I am sure that they would make exceptionally strong Pokémon if properly trained, but work will not really give me much time for training them. I know you have your preference to Luxary Balls and caught one of them in that, and I hope I caught the other in Shiranui's presence. Good luck in the tournament. Your father, Florence, and I will be rooting for you.

-Mom

" Liam noted that instead of saying 'mom' the signature was a chibby Nurse Joy face smiling with a hand flashing victory. Liam opened the package to find two slightly small packages. One had Liam's name, while the other had Shiranui's Liam opened his to find a scarf with a flame pattern and the image of a shiny Charizard sown on it. The Luxary Ball rolled out into his hand.

[James Davy]

Shiranui's scarf was a similar flame pattern, but his had a Ninetales on it. "How did she know what one of my favourites were?" Shiranui asked. He hadn't thought about what Pokémon the Blackthorn City Nurse Joy caught for him.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam tossed his ball into the air. A Pikachu emerged. Liam theorized that maybe the other one was also causing electrical disturbances at the center.

[James Davy]

Shiranui tossed his into the air and what emerged was an Electrike. "Electrike, the Lightning Pokémon. Electrike runs faster than the human eye can follow. The friction from running is converted into electricity, which is then stored in this Pokémon's fur." The Electrike crept up on Shiranui while he listened to his Pokédex and zapped him with a small jolt of static electricity.
"You're a playful one, Electrike," commented Shiranui, recalling his new friend.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam's new Pikachu just stood there, scratching an itch on top of his head with his tail. Liam recalled the Pikachu. "Lets go check into our room." Liam suggested.

[James Davy]

Shiranui nodded and the duo made their way to their room. He pondered what the competition would be like.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Joy gave the boys key cards to enter the room.

[James Davy]

Shiranui entered the room and had Yoto rest against a bedside table, reminding the Aegislash to be careful not to cut the carpet. He removed his gear and flopped onto a bed. "What a day," he said to no-one in particular.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam dropped his bag in the corner. He flopped onto the other bed. "Man this bed is comfy." Liam said. He figured they could relax here for an hour or two before the rest of the challengers began to show up for the opening ceremonies.

[James Davy]

"Mine is too," replied Shiranui, letting his mind drift and remembering the highlights of their travels through Kalos.

[bowtiesrcool86]

There was a knock on the door. Liam got up to answer the door. There stood Professors Augustine Sycamore and Samuel Oak.
"Professors, What brings you here?"
"Well, vee came to watch zee competition. Vee wanted to come to see zee two if you." Sycamore explained.
Oak explained that Professor Sycamore invited him to watch the tournament, in order to see some Kalos Pokemon in battle. When Oak had a proper Segway for it, he recited a haiku.

"The Kalos League like
Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee
Strong trainers compete"

[James Davy]

To Professor Sycamore he said, "We'll give you our best performance."

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Too many syllables," commented Shiranui. To Professor Sycamore he said, "We'll give you our best performance."

(fixed)

"I know you will lad." Oak replied. "Out of curiosity, have you two decided where you will go next?"

[James Davy]

"I don't know for sure, but we had thoughts of Hoenn," answered Shiranui, "Liam?"
