Lily smiled when they started talking about training, and let out a giggle when Devon offered to teach them how to capture a Pokemon. [color=39b54a]"I'm good, Devon. One of the perks of having two Silver Conference Trainers as parents is that you're pretty much prepared as well as you can be for your journey."[/color] She said smiling, looking over to Brent who had nodded. [color=f7941d]"Although I didn't have the same amount of prep that Lily probably did, my brother taught me quite a bit, I should be fine."[/color] He replied.

Lily looked down at her Chikorita. [color=39b54a]"But... learning is one thing, but doing is another. I actually haven't had a single battle yet."[/color] Brent chuckled slightly. [color=f7941d]"Yeah, ditto. Cyndaquil here is only about two or three weeks old. Not much experience yet, but we'll get there."[/color] He looked back to his orange Pokegear, checking the time: 4:02 P.M. [color=f7941d]"Wow, it's a lot later than I thought it would be, I guess we spent more time in New Amber than I thought. The sun usually goes down around 5:30 or 6:00 at night, so we've got a little time. I'd save the training and battling until we get to the Pokemon Center though."[/color]

Lily nodded. [color=39b54a]"Right, and don't worry Celes, Pokemon Battles aren't always all out brawls, some trainers I know like to take it more casual, some even do light training matches to minimize damage."[/color] She said, trying to reassure the older but less mature girl.

Deep in the woods, somewhere along Route 701, the Pokemon watch as a pursuit takes place. A Pokemon is speeding through the forest, followed close behind by two clearly well trained athletic individuals. One appears to be taking a message of some type. [color=gray]"Roger. Alright, Leader want's this thing caught by sunset, we can't waste anymore time, we've got to move on to our next assignment!"[/color] He says, distinguishable by his male voice. The other speaks in a lighter, female voice. [color=darkgray]"Affirmative, time to step this up a notch!"[/color] She says, throwing a Pokeball. Out emerges a small bat-like Pokemon, Crobat. She points to the Pokemon ahead of them, and Crobat is immediately in pursuit ahead of them. The chase continues.

Michael seemed puzzled. [color=8dc73f]"Only fifteen known users in Kalos? That doesn't seem right... I don't think there's an official registry for that kind of stuff, you know. That's probably why."[/color] He remarked at Olivier's comment. He didn't quite understand what he meant about the "Master Rank" Trainer. [color=8dc73f]"Well... he's strong, I'll say that much."[/color] He replied.

Then he pulled up something on his laptop about Feraligatr, and asked him about it. He took a look, but couldn't really tell. [color=8dc73f]"Nothing really seems out of the ordinary, other than the Mega Evolution."[/color] He said, quite oblivious to what Olivier was trying to imply.

Meanwhile, inside the Pokemon Center, Nurse Joy had just finished patching up a Ralts brought in with a few scrapes and bruises from a failed battle with a nearby Wild Pokemon. Then another trainer who had entered earlier came to the desk, Pokeball in hand. [color=f49ac2]"Of course, I'll get your Pokemon fighting fit in no time."[/color] She said, taking the Pokeball. [color=f49ac2]"Just give me one moment..."[/color] She moved from behind the desk towards the back exit, poking her head outside. [color=f49ac2]"Olivier, your Ralts is waiting for you!"[/color] She said, looking at the Ralts standing on the counter.
