The news of Juan agreeing to partake in Hugo Rich's new tournament was received well by Juan's old boss. The following morning, Hugo pulled up to Juan's apartment. People like Hugo had access to wide, open spaces for the sole purpose of training Pokemon - away from public view. And it was in one of these places that Juan was being driven to, to pick out his other eleven Pokemon. The town car door was opened. The first one out was Jigglypuff. She skipped up the road, as if she knew where she was going, despite never been here before. Though she figured that the straight dirt path that she followed wouldn't betray her. And surely Hugo and Juan would be right behind her. "She sure seems excited." Hugo waited on Juan to step out. Unlike Jigglypuff, they walked casually behind her. "She sure is. I haven't seen her this happy in quite a while." "JIGGLY!" She had disappeared from the two men's view, having arrived at a duplex that stood out from the surrounding green hills and trees. Jigglypuff ran back, to meet up with Hugo and her trainer. She frantically hopped up and down, urging them to hurry up. "You can stay here as long as you want, Juan. Well, at least until the tournament starts." Hugo opened the door to the duplex, revealing a cozy interior inside. Upon entering the place, the common area resembled any standard living room. There was a kitchen towards the far end, with another exit. There was also a staircase that led to the second floor where there were two bedrooms. "Let's go to the PC." Hugo walked in front of Juan and his Jigglypuff. He walked out the back exit in the kitchen, walking towards a small shed not too far out. Inside, there was only a desk and a chair - the room clearly only intended to house the PC. "Well, have you decided on your Pokemom?" Hugo asked. "I have. I spent all night thinking it over." Juan stepped up to the desk, putting the chair aside, which Jigglypuff jumped up on. Juan scrolled and found his preferred eleven. One by one, the Pokeballs appeared, all neatly organized in a round. "Help me out, yeah?" Juan asked, scooping a handful of Pokeballs that he carried outside. Hugo helped out, as did Jigglypuff, who could only muster one Pokeball in each hand. Out in the grassy field, Juan, along with Hugo organized the Pokeballs right next to each other, making sure they were properly spaced apart. "OK, everyone. Come on out!" Juan gave the order, the Pokeballs opening up, releasing his Pokemon. Out came Rapidash, Ursaring, Mightyena, Dragonite, Gyarados, Electrode, Wartortle, Vileplume, Crawdaunt and Golem. Happy to see his Pokemon, Juan wished to be able to and hug them all at once. As messy and disorganized at it was, they all huddled together and greeted each other, not just being happy to see Juan, but each other as well. "Hang on, Juan." Hugo stopped to joyous reunion, noticing that there were two missing. Jigglypuff and one more. "Jigglypuff?" Juan and his other Pokemon looked around. Behind Juan, a shadow was creeping up, traveling underneath his feet. It rose up from the ground, two pointy, purple early peaked out, followed by a set of glowing, red eyes. "GENGAR!" It was Juan's Gengar. Having fully come out of the shadow he created. Gengar's mouth opened wide, revealing Jigglypuff inside it. And thus, the roster was complete. "The place is all yours, Juan. I shall leave you to your training as there's a lot to do." "Yeah, they couldn't hold their excitement back any longer it seems." Juan's Pokemon had already begun sparring with each other. Ursaring was wrestling with Dragonite, Golem was going against Wartortle, Rapidash and Mightyena were chasing each other around. There was also time to fool around. Gyarados was lending itself for Jigglypuff and Electrode to slide down its serpentine body while the rest looked on.
