[@Balthazar007] [b]March 2nd Washung A Ton Dee Cee Liz[/b] [color=f49ac2]"So. Why are ou tranig pepoll to been pokemon Trainor's??"[/color] Liz asked with her broken English. She wasn't a fan of the language, multiple words having multiple meanings depending on where they fell in a sentence?? The worst part about this place, was the fact it seems like Hephaestus had de-evolved, now he was a Monferno again. She worried about her friends, and wondered what happened to Primus?? Was it still there?? Would Rin be looking for her, never to find her again?? Her heart ached for her Pokemon, and rival. Though she doubted that Rin felt the same towards her as she did for them. She wanted to find a way to eventually go back to her home. But the best part was the openness of many different people. She wasn't the only openly transwoman here, some even famous. Still she had to get past this damn English barrier. [color=f49ac2]"Lok, ar ou any closer to sanding me ome?? Pleez get Roland."[/color] She did her best to gesture with her hands but found it fustrating. She wanted to speak to that professor and the guy with the Pikachu again. They understood the language better than her, and despite not being from the same world, their language was almost an exact copy. The men didn't respond, they just stood there all day, never talking. She sighed heavily and went back to studying the English books. Liz looked out a window and saw the people selected to be trainers lining up outside. Across the street a young woman dressed in black walked out and scanned them as well, and she looked up and saw Liz. A hand placed on her shoulder made her turn around. [b]Two weeks later[/b] [color=f7976a]"Those are the people who are trying to be pokemon trainers. As a former champion, we will need your knowledge on pokemon to lead the ones who pass on mission around the world." [/color]Roland insisted on using English for their convos, to force Liz to get better. [color=f49ac2]"This place is unsulferble, Roland. I feel like a lab Ratata. End or men steel ave my pokemon. I need to see them, are dey ok??" [/color]She asked with worry in her voice. [color=f7976a]"Yes, we have kept them on the diet you have fed them. They are constantly exercising, without us asking them. And it seems in the few months you have been here your English has improved remarkably. Come with me, let them deal with the test, you will meet those who pass it. And you need to filled in on some news about your missions that you will eventually go on." [/color]The two turned and walked off, Liz was excited to see her friends again. ------------------------------------------- [b]March 16th Circe Washington D.C[/b] Circe woke up at six am to grab a quick shower. She put her makeup on a little more sparingly today. She turned on the television and found a Pokemon anime, she had seen every episode and movie she could find, memorized everything she could. She just hoped it would be enough. Her cellphone chimed in with Final Fantasy 7s victory fanfare and she chuckled to herself. Better Pokemon than Sephiroth, she thought to herself. It was her girlfriend wishing her luck on the big test. She walked out the hotel and saw the other 99 people in line to get in the training site. She saw a woman about her age with vibrant pink hair looking out a window at the people as well. Soon a man came up behind her, and after a brief conversation, both walked away from the window. Circe was finally ready to be let in the camp, her i.d. was checked and she was given paperwork to fill out. Standard non-disclosure agreement, and who her favorite Pokemon were. She filled everything out quickly and went into the auditorium like room and sat near the middle of the room. She waited for the show to start, wishing she was allowed to smoke in here.
