Dawkin Trustram



Dawkin made sure to pay carefully attention to Joshua, following words just as he followed his gaze. Interesting. As Dawkin expected he hadn't outright called any of them out as useless, the closest one to being so was Pichu. Dawkin took some pride in Joshua's compliment and he looked over his team again. He wasn't sure that he would keep all of them, though he felt a certain amount of obligation to. Dawkin returned his Pokemon to their Pokeballs, they were all a bit colorful and that made them a bit hard to handle all at once. "Thank you very much for your insights, I'll be sure to keep them in mind." A question popped into his head along the lines of discussing teams. "Joshua, have you beaten any gyms in this region?"






Yeh, I'm done travelling so I can write up a duel soon and get it posted up.
Glad you enjoy us taking advantage of the world you've so kindly provided. ^•^
Dawkin Trustram



"Hm..." Dawkin said in response to Joshua's evaluation of Amelia. He wasn't sure that he saw what Joshua meant, but believed him to some degree. "Well, whatever holds her back, I think she can get through it." Perhaps that would only serve to embarrass her more, but it felt like the right thing to say. Joshua then asked to see Dawkin's own Pokemon. Seeing no reason as not to, Dawkin's released them. Atlas, Wooper, Pichu, and Tyrunt all came out.

"Aron?" Atlas looked around the restaurant, his little blue eyes lighting up upon realizing he was surrounded by food, both metal and other tasty treats.

"Don't you eat anything without asking, I'll get you something good later. This is Atlas, my starter Pokemon. He can be a bit ravenous but I can trust him when it counts." Atlas looked a bit put out, as he had been eyeing the table leg, but he seemed content to relax for now. Luckily a snack could be found at your local dump most of the time with little effort, readily providing bribes for him.

"Wooper!" Wooper seems pleased with the situation no matter it was and, after a pondering glance at Dawkin, simply wiggled back and forth slowly while looking at Joshua, as it seemed to know it was being presented. That or Joshua just happened to be in front of it.

"I caught Wooper running away from Team Amethyst, honestly I might not have caught him normally but I was looking for firepower in a pinch. Caught him just by throwing a Pokeball so I guess he wanted to come with me. Seems to have taken a liking to me, even if he isn't the brightest." Dawkin said with a shrug, even though he was rather pleased that Wooper had taken a shine to him. Certainly catching a Pokemon with just one throw was an achievement he didn't mind having around.

"Piiichu." Pichu seemed dazzled by the fact they were in a town with a lot of shiny lights and Dawkin remembered Pichu had probably never seen anything like it before. However his gaze quickly alight on Amelia and her swarm of ghost pokemon and he scampered up the table lag and went "Chu?" questioningly at them seemingly curious at their very existence.

"Pichu I caught, uh..." Dawkin stuttered for a second as he made up another reason for catching, "Because I heard they were hard to find and it gave me another element. Nearly got my head taken off by a Sawsbuck for my trouble. This little guy sure knew how to give me a run for my money." Dawkin said recalling that rather desperate run for his life.

"Tyyrunt." Upon seeing no Pokemon to fight, Tyrunt ran up to Dawkin and immediatly nuzzled his leg, then nibbled on his pants a little bit.

"H-hey." Dawkin said in surprise and pushed the little dinosaur away with one hand, scratching around his craggy head. "I think I need a teething rod and some sort of tough back stratcher for this one." Dawkin said disapprovingly, examining the bite marks in his pants as Tyrunt leaned into Dawkin's hand. "Anyway I caught him on the way over here. Amelia and I ran into some confusion with a truck transporting fossil Pokemon and I just kinda ended up with him."

"That's the lineup so far. I'm planning on getting a Cacturne here as well as training some more. After that..." Well Dawkin had considered getting a Ponyta but Amelia had made a fuss about it earlier and he didn't want to bring it up again. "Who knows?" Dawkin finished his thought, his arms in a sort of, 'ta-da' position towards his Pokemon.






Dawkin Trustram



Dawkin listened to Joshua's evaluation with interest, he respected the older trainer to be interested in what he had to say. What he was saying boiled down to... Specializing allowed you to have a strong singular focus. Not doing give you a multitude of options that could be hard to manage. In other words, if he was skilled enough, and used his tools appropriately he would be stronger. Dawkin had always liked a challenge. Then he turned his attention to Amelia and what Pokemon she had caught. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they were all Ghost Pokemon. Dawkin laughed for a breath at Phantump's snicker. He didn't feel resentful, but he did find it was funny that it remembered him. What he did find was surprising however, was Joshua's next statement. Amelia had planned on finding a shiny Phantump and then proceeded to do so? He recalled that Amelia had said

"one in several thousand pokemon being that way."

To think that she had planned to fight such odds and succeeded. Perhaps he had under-rated Amelia. She seemed too timid to try something to difficult, but now that he thought about it, she had also challenged that women in the street earlier. She had also caught one more Pokemon than him. "I thought that you having a shiny Pokemon was impressive before, but now that I know you set out with that in mind I'm even more astounded. With such a good teacher and such evident skill, I'm sure you'll have no trouble with whatever it is you're aiming for." Dawkin said with some admiration in his voice. He was perhaps feeling even, just a little bit envious, though he'd never admit it.






Dawkin Trustram



"Hm." Dawkin mused, simply to indicate that he was listening. He didn't imagine Amelia as someone who would willfully and wantonly break any rules. He wondered about the exact circumstances but decided that since she hadn't elaborated she wasn't interested in telling. Joshua returned and promptly seemed to reveal what Amelia had been trying to hide about the situation. Dawkin was torn between inquiring and learning more from Joshua about it or leaving the obviously rather embarrassed Amelia in peace. He already felt a little bad and causing her to turn red and decided that he'd leave things there. "Something of an affinity for Ghost Pokemon then? I must admit I've never found myself particularly attached to a certain type of Pokemon, though I can see how others would be. You find us any good seating?" Dawkin said at the end, to turn the conversation away from what Amelia didn't want to talk about. Dawkin could understand not wanting to tell people about your past. Dawkin thought back to Team Amethyst and their attempt to recruit him. Telling somebody that a criminal team had tried recruiting him would be a bit embarrassing wouldn't it?






Sofia Stien - The Cruise Room


Sofia continued waiting patiently, making sure to keep an eye on Jason in case she needed to do something, and of course to make sure everything was alright. Fake Broker kept talking and talking. Apparently the Community had a spy here? Sofia wondered who mildly but didn't really care that much, no one else seemed to be very bothered about it either. Sofia resisted the urge to doze off and continued listening dutifully. These things really weren't much fun at all. She started thinking about what she would do if left The Jacks. It'd be nice if she could keep all the stuff Broker had gotten her but... That wasn't very likely. She could take all her money and leave but... Maybe she should just talk to Broker about it? Yeah, if they kept having to do scary stuff she didn't like then, she would just ask him if she could not. Simple. He was pretty scary though...
Col Ward



Col felt a visceral rush of satisfaction upon dealing a vengeful blow to the monstrous beast, leaving half of its face slashed up and bleeding. Even the mere seconds of combating the wolf had drained Col exceptionally so, however his training ensured he was still able to fight. Unfortunately the face wound didn't seem to bother it much, and after backing off a bit the creature lunged forward, now even more angered by the young squire. Col was prepared to leverage his sword against it like a lance, ensuring that if it bulldozed into him it would impale itself, even if it took Col down, he was determined to at least take it down. However mid-charge it suddenly stumbled thanks to the arrow that had appeared in its leg and its path changed, the side of its body bashing Col causing him to let out a grunt of pain. His shield was of no use against the massive frame that sent Col crashing to the dirt, though thankfully not into the fire.

Col shook himself and hurriedly scrambled to his feet to see the dog attempting to finish off the wolf. It was knocked back and it looked like it was the end for it, until Bastian reared behind the wolf and stabbed it, causing more blood to gush out of it. Still it didn't seem to be dead, and merely retreated slightly from its aggressors, releasing the smaller dog. Col turned at the sound of screams, a quick head count revealed that it could only be Favian. However by the time Col had determined this, the bard was too far gone for Col to even tell where he was, much less rescue him. Dam it. With a fresh source of anger Col grabbed a flaming stick with his shield hand and rushed over with a wordless yell to the bleeding wolf, determined to finish it off with brand and blade.

Titania





Titania was pleased to see everyone else quickly followed, Reina even jumping on Marwood's mount to accelerate the tempo of battle and take care of another enemy. It wasn't that she enjoyed seeing people die but, it felt like an adequate revenge for the fallen knight behind them. Besides, it wasn't like there was another way to get through. "Just keep doing your best." Titania said cheerily in response to Isolode's thanks. With that flurry of fighting it seemed there were only a few enemies remaining. If Titania had been wondering who one of them was, Morag, leader of the Spike Guild, made that a non-issue. Unfortunately for him, he was significantly outnumbered and his only friend seemed to be running for the hills. "We should surround him and wear him down." Titania said, more to herself than proclaiming actual strategy to the others, but still audible. They should also probably attack quickly, lest Morag attempt to attack the fellow behind him and flee, even if his proclamation indicated no such intent. For now she waited behind Isolode, as she seemed the most likely to charge forward. They were all in tip-top shape and Titania would ensure they stayed that way as best as she could.
