They won? Holy crap they won! He just stood there, not sinking it in for a hot second until he lit up with a wide grin. [color=8882be]"We did it Cecil!"[/color] He cheered as his Darumaka as she ran to him and he held his arms wide open for her as she leaped at him. 

[color=ed1c24]"Darrrrr!"[/color] She cheered as she was caught by Basil, who spun around with her in a hug for one whole rotation until the weight of his Pokemon caused him to lose his balance and fall on his back, Cecil in tow. It knocked the air out of his lungs, but he could not help, but laugh despite the very real sensation of his chest being crushed under her weight. 

Basil pulled her Pokeball from his belt and with a beam of red light returned her to her comfy little home. [color=8882be]"You did well girl, you did well."[/color] Without having a boulder on him, he was able to stand up straight. His attention turned to Rodger who gave him praise despite also telling him he won because of move type advantage, but perhaps he should not get too excited beating a trainer who was obviously not going all out against him. [color=8882be]"I'm definitely looking forward to it. Until then, I'll train until I'm strong enough to stand on my own."[/color]

For a moment there, he felt like there was an intense murderous rage coming from somewhere and he turned to see it was Kalmia all smiles, in her yard, after they -Basil and Cecil- tore it up. Chuckling nervously, Basil said,[color=8882be]"Uhhhh...Hi Professor. I guess you could say that?"[/color] It was not long until Thing 1 and 2 just appeared out of nowhere with shovels to hand to both trainers, looking a bit too happy about this. [color=8882be]"Okay, fair enough."[/color] 

Shovel in hand he helped Rodger put the yard back together, which was not something he could say was easy because all the dirt was flung everywhere, [i]everywhere.[/i] At least with that out of the way, Rodger left as soon as he came. 

[color=8882be]"Oh, um, thank you Professor. Sorry about the yard again."[/color] He apologized as he watched her heal Cecil with a super potion. It really was a wonder how these medicines healed Pokemon so quickly, even though he should know how they work considering his family owns one of the largest Pokemon pharmaceutical company in the region. 

Upon receiving 5 Pokeballs, he was all set to go out on his journey! Well, sorta...He was actually standing there awkwardly rather than excited at the prospect of finally starting his journey. [color=8882be]"Actually, there is one thing. Maybe, um, could you introduce me to Cyril and his friend?"[/color] His face was flushed red and his eyes glancing down at the ground. If there was a neon sign with the words 'wants friends' flashing with bright lights, it would be pointing at him.
