[color=f08159]'Ro-to-to-to-tom~'[/color] Rotom just made a taunting noise towards Alice and didn’t appear to be intending to make any sort of motion towards actually working to better its activities.

[color=b5e6e2]'Ha, ha, ha… I wish…'[/color] Vivia tilted her head a little, a resigned smile on her lips. Then, Alice suggested she left to adventure with them, and her eyes widened in realization at the invitation. [color=b5e6e2]'Wa, huh? You’d wish to travel with me…?'[/color] She needed to process that for a bit. Then, she straightened up, put on a serious face more in line with her character image, and adjusted her glasses. [color=b5e6e2]'Heh! Alright, then. For the time being, I would be happy to accompany you. I am rather inexperienced myself, but we can help each other out. It would be my pleasure,'[/color] she said, a slight smile appearing on her lips that she was trying to restrain.

Rhyperior was more than happy to be hugged. Now, the big rock was way too wide for Alice to actually hug around, and his own arms were a bit limited in ability to hug back due to same wideness, but…

[color=ff961f]'Rhy!'[/color] the Rhyperior called out happily and gave her a decently careful pat on the head with one of the huge rock-arms. [color=ff961f]'Rhyperior!'[/color] He then waved to her when she said they’d see each other again, and looked quite blissfully happy. Jacques was at the side and looked on with a smirk.

Kalmia smiled at Skylar’s question, but shook her head. [color=82c6cf]'Nope. I’m afraid that in Pureplain City, you’re only going to find the pure and plain, at the very least when it comes to Flying-types.'[/color]

Anyways, that’ll be that. Though, at the side… 

[@Dusksong]

Dei leapt before arriving at Skorupi, descending down on the scorpion from above.

[color=7eab87]'From above!'[/color] Oaken tried, and Skorupi tried.

[color=606094]'Skorupi…!'[/color] it announced, thrusting above it with a claw, trying to Knock-Off… but did it a slight bit too early. Missing, Skorupi got confused enough to open its eyes to see what was going on… right in time to see a Charmander falling down on it, burning tail first!

[color=606094]'SK-SKOO-!'[/color] Skorupi gave a small shout of panic before Dei smacked down into it, in whatever way he intended. The impact was enough to push Skorupi over the edge, and it slumped aside and rolled onto its back, fainted. The battle was over.

[center][color=6ecff6][i]Eryn was victorious! Eryn gained 1000 P for winning![/i][/color] [/center]

[center][color=6ecff6][i]Dei grew to Level 6![/i][/color][/center]

[color=7eab87]'… Hmpf.'[/color] Oaken turned his head in slight regret to the right, then lifted his Pokéball to recall Skorupi. [color=7eab87]'… You followed my orders well towards the end. I suppose I cannot expect you to be perfect from the get-go. Well fought, I suppose.'[/color] He recalled Skorupi, and then turned to Eryn.

[color=7eab87]'You managed to turn a sure loss into a decisive win. Well done, I suppose. If I’m ever pushed into a corner… I’ll try to keep you in mind. I’ll see you in the Pokémon League.'[/color] … Oaken did not intend to stick along longer than that. He gave a nod to Jacques, who gave a nod back, before intending on walking off.

[color=7eab87]'I’ll waste some time at the Trainer’s School,'[/color] Oaken said, passing behind Rodger’s back.

[color=9e8d77]'Got it! I’ll find you there when I’m done!'[/color] Rodger said, before turning back to the battle he was focused on.

Now, Eryn can stop Oaken before he walks off too far, if she wants to. After her victory, and if she hadn’t engaged in conversation or so, Eryn would be approached by Professor Kalmia. 

[color=82c6cf]'You two did great, Eryn, Dei! Well done! Now, I just need to give you these, and then you’re ready to get going!'[/color]

[center][color=6ecff6][i]Eryn obtained 5 Pokéballs!![/i][/color][/center]

[color=82c6cf]'If you have any questions, I’m always just a call away!'[/color] So Kalmia said.

Now she can talk to the others, or whatever she wishes. Eryn, Skylar and Alice are currently in Pureplain City.

[hider=Pureplain City][center][url=http://i.imgur.com/90QlLSx.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/V8jzaJE.jpg[/img][/url][/center]

Pureplain City is placed on the south-west brink of Isson, with the town facing the water and spreading quite far. The further in-town you go, the higher the buildings become, but the suburbs spread quite far. In terms of sheer landmass, it might even compete with Worldedge City, although maybe not in height. Life passes normally within this city. Children grow up alongside their parents in houses in the long, friendly streets. Jobs come from the depths of the town in the taller buildings. Schools grow from the reasonably high amount of children in need of tuition. And of course, there are lots of Pokémon.

In Pureplain City, human and Pokémon work together. Be it for manual labour or just for company, Pureplain houses often contain at least one house-hold Pokémon and there are many Trainer's Schools around the city have always been plentifully attended, not counting the recent drop of embarking trainers due to the Team Wars. In addition, Pureplain Harbor is known as the “Gateway of Isson”, as that’s where all the ferries from outside the region dock, giving life to quite the marketplace. A common attraction of the city is the Super Contest stage, but other than that, Pureplain remains what it has always been. Pure and plain.[/hider]

[@Rune_Alchemist]

With his flames boosted by the flaring sun, Zeal fired off a magnificently huge, flaring Ember at the Taunted, String Shotted Lilligiant that could not get out of the way in time! The fireball impacted, and Lilligiant gave out a cry as the flames did their damage, leaving leaves seared and slightly burning… but still, Lilligiant was tough enough to weather at least one of those fireballs. A heavily damaged Lilligiant still employed Mega Drain once again, draining power from Zeal through some unnatural grass-typed power through the air that who knows how it actually works. … Still, with all likelihood Zeal just fired another Ember… 

[h2][color=90c26e]‘LILLIGAAAAAAAAAAANT!’[/color][/h2] 

… And the humongous plant fell burned, the huge form falling over with a soft crunch as it impacted the wooden platform beneath it, the signs of burning String Shot strings still binding around it.

[color=2fbdb6]‘Hahahaha! String Shot plus Taunt. That’d do it. Good job! You took down my wall!’[/color] Archie called out to Claire, smiling oh, so happily as he returned Lilligiant to her Pokéball. [color=2fbdb6]‘So, since my wall is down, and I’d rather you don’t Taunt my other Pokémon, I suppose I’m switching to my cannon.’[/color] Saying so, Archie lifted his hand, and Ramsey dropped a Pokéball into his master’s hand. Then, with a gleaming little smile, Archie called out his second Pokémon.


[hider=Hider because another huge Pokémon][color=2fbdb6]‘Go! Sunfloorall!’[/color]

With a crash and a call, a second humongous plant now stood before Claire. One supremely giant sunflower with a gleam in its face.

[h2][color=f7cf57]‘Sunflora~!’[/color][/h2]

The giant Pokémon sounded out in a playful tone…

What the Pokédex shows…

[center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/9/98/192Sunflora.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/zJ1NDFj.png[/img][/url][/center]

[center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #192 – Sunflora, the Sun Pokémon. It converts sunlight into energy. When the sun is out it constantly moves to face it, and its colours and expression grow more vibrant the sunnier the season is. In darkness, it closes its petals and becomes still, waiting for the sun to rise once again.[/i][/color][/center]

[color=2fbdb6]‘Solar Power,’[/color] Archie started explaining without missing a beat. [color=2fbdb6]‘Boosts the special attack of the Pokémon by a HUGE amount during harsh sunlight! But, each time it uses this, it hurts itself! What I’m saying is…’[/color] Archie smiled so widely. [color=2fbdb6]‘I think you’re better off dodging until Sunfloorall faints on his own~’[/color]

[color=2fbdb6]‘Sunfloorall!’[/color] Archie commanded, and the huge sunflower was already directing its face towards the sun, absorbing enough power to start glowing…

[color=2fbdb6]‘[i]So~lar~ge~ beam~![/i]’[/color]

[h2][color=f7cf57]‘Suuuuun~!’[/color][/h2]

Claire and Zeal is given a small moment to react before a massive ray of all-consuming sunlight is unleashed in Zeal’s direction, and then promptly dragged around the battlefield as Sunfloorall moves a little to cause the beam to sweep over an area before finally running out of power. The sheer force of the nature-beam threw force Claire could feel herself pushed somewhat away from it, and assuming it didn’t hit Zeal straight on it then soared on into the horizon, eventually running out of juice and vanishing into nothing… until the next beam, which Sunfloorall was already starting to charge for immediately after finishing the previous one.

What would she and Zeal do now?[/hider]
