“Uh.....there a kind of food....it has these different shells, and you put meat, and lots of different toppings like cheese, and sour cream, hot sauce, and other stuff.” Liam explained, jumping down form Goodra. “You can stay out awhile girl...” He said, patting Goozy’s head.

A reminder: If you want to ask an RP thread creator if you can join their RP, do so in private - via conversation or profile messages - or via the thread's discussion thread, if one exists. Do NOT ask if you can join an RP on the RP thread itself! This leads to a lot of unnecessary OOC chatter and that's not what the RP boards are for.
This is clearly stated in our RP forum rules. If you've not read them yet, do so BEFORE posting anything in the RP forums. They may be found here (for Pokémon Role Play) or here (for General Role Play). Remember that the Global Rules of Pokécharms also apply in addition to these rule sets. -

Liam stayed behind, pulling a wallet out of his pocket. “Dad said to use this for good causes.” He thought, walking over and putting some money on the cart. “This is for her tacos. I’m not really hungry.” He said, before walking back to Goozy. “Goo-Draa?” (Why did you do that for them?) “because, their my friends.” He told his Pokemon, patting her head.
Michael got Maker's message and his face lit up.He sent back:
Nice!!!!!We're heading there right now!With mini cupcakes!See ya there!Chao!~
"Jodi,we need to go to Veilstone right now!!!"He told Jodi with fire in his eyes.
"WhyWho messaged you?"She asked surprised.
"'Aker!She,Oti' 'n Oliver finally got here!Quick,get ready 'cause we're going!"He called out Blaziken,got the boxes and he climbed on her shoulders.The Fire Type picked up Jodi and got out of the house."Mom,me and 'Odi are going out a bit!Bye!!!"He nodded to Blaziken,who used Agility.She started jumping in the direction of Veilstone City.

Oliver had been following the others slowly, playing a game on his phone. “Man, thisstupid Flappy Pidgey game is hard....” He said, beginning to get really agitated. ”Umbreon.” (Take a break.) Shadow said, and Ollie nodded, putting the game away.
Maker looked confused and gave Liam his money back. "Don't worry about, money isn't a problem for me." She said with a smile. She gave the vender her credit card and he gave hard big bag with lots of tacos in it. "I can't wait to taste these! Let's head to the hotel!" She looked around feeling lost. "Which way is it?" She said with a small laugh.
Liam pointed the opposite direction. “That’s the way.” He said, walking towards it grinning, looking at the different Pokemon. He pulled out a sketchbook, drawing a Pachirusu he noticed in a tree.
Ollie walked over to Liam, smiling. “Your a good artist.” He said, and Shadow nodded in agreement. Oliver looked around, amazed at all the people and Pokemon there.
"I see them!Over that way!"Michael yelled,pointing at his friends.Blaziken landed right in front of them,creating a smoke cloud where she landed.Out of it came out Michael who yelled"Guys!!!"He ran toward Maker and yelled again"'Aker!"He hugged her really hard.Turn,he ran towards Otis and yelled"Oti'!"He picked her up and spun her around.He then ran towards Oliver and yelled "Oliver!"He gave him a bear hug.He pulled back and said excited"You're here!Finally!I missed you so much!But,do you remember me?I'm Michael,the annoying guy that can make cupcakes!Do you remember me,right?!"
"Michael,chill!"Jodi told him worried.''Let them respond!"
"Okay...But one final question...Who's this guy?"He said,pointing to Liam with a smile.
"Michael,chill!"Jodi told him worried.''Let them respond!"
"Okay...But one final question...Who's this guy?"He said,pointing to Liam with a smile.
Maker hugged Michael back with a smile. "We missed you also!" Maker said with a big grin. "Hey look at those guys!" She said pointing at a group of street dancers. "Just like in Unova!" She ran over to the crowd and began cheering for them, watching with amazement.
A young man standing by walked over to Maker. "Hey you new around here?"
Maker looked at him confused. "Yeah, why?"
"Just noticed you were lost." He said with a smile. "Me and my friends are going to this abandoned warehouse for a rave. Wanna join?" He said pointing at a group of people a few feet away.
"No thank you, I have to get to the hotel." Maker said with a smile.
The young man laughed again, but in a more dark way. "Come on! I can take you anywhere afterwards!" He grabbed Maker's arm.
Maker gave him a mean look. "I said no." She pulled her arm away from him. Eve began to snarl at stranger.
The young man frowned. "Kurt doesn't take no for an answer lady!" He stepped back and whistled, the rest of his gang quickly went up to him.
"Bring it!" Maker said reaching for her pokeball.

Otis had been following silently, she couldn’t think of anything to say. After all, Maker seemed to have it all under control. When Michael and Jodi arrived, she got a small flash back of what happened about a year and a half ago. So for some reason, it felt weird to be twirled around by him. But nevertheless, a battle was staring to unfold. Otis knew she better take part in this, so she pulled out a Pokeball and threw it in the air. Nia came out, and she was ready for a fight.
Maker stood next to Otis. "You just messed with bestes of friends!" She sent out her Charizard, who with his enormous size made people step away from the area, leaving Maker and Otis facing the 6 gang members. Charizard roared into the sky, sending out massive flames as he did so.
"Tch! We got this!" Kurt said as one of his friends stepped besides him. They both threw their pokeballs, unleashing a Golem and Drapion. "Get em Drapion!" Kurt yelled as the Drapion dashed towards Nia.
"Cover her Charo!" Maker called out as her Charizard dashed in front of Nia and stopped the Drapion with it's dragon claw.
The golem had gained momentum and was firing rocks at Charo.

Ray arrived home later than he intended to... it was a lovely night, and he'd lost track of time walking around with Mismagius.
"Sorry I'm late..." he apologized as he opened the door. "I was just-- hey is that a Spy Meowth movie? I didn't know they made one!" His thoughts were interrupted by the TV, and he hurried over to the couch and flopped down next to Azumi.
"Oo, and take-out for dinner? You're the best!" He leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. "So, how was work today?"

"Oo, and take-out for dinner? You're the best!" He leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. "So, how was work today?"
"No,we don't need to fi-"Michael said worried,but was stopped by Otis and Maker,who throwed out their Pokemon."Ugh...fine!Blazi,use Double Kick on Golem!"Blaziken roared and dashed towards the Rock Type.Jodi followed his lead and sent out her Charizard."Look,Maker!My Charmander evolved into a Charizard!Just like yours!Use Dragon Pulse!"Charizard smirked and sent a beautiful beam towards the Draipon.
"Fine." Azumi responded feeling offended. "Got a case about someone stealing one of the meteors outside the city. Also my trainee is really interested in field work all of a sudden." She avoided looking at Ray.
Her Kirlia however was happy to see him and danced around the living room non stop. Azumi couldn't stand it and quickly cheered up, thanks to her dancing pokemon. She got up and rushed to the kitchen to get the bag with the stuff she bought. "I got you some stuff, although you don't deserve it, that I think might help with tyranitar and feraligator." She pulled out two hats. One in the shape of larvitar and the other one of totodile. She put the totodile one on his head. "You look adorable! I'm sure feraligator will think better of you." She smiled as she spoke. "Right Nana?"
The Kirlia responded by jumping joyfully. "I also got something for typhlosion and one more thing." Azumi reached into the bag and pulled out a love ball. She handed it over to Ray. "I found her up for adoption two weeks ago. She is a Mawile called Akali. I figured she would be great for you." She looked at Ray with excitement, waiting for his reaction.
Maker gave Michael and Jodi a thumbs up as the two enemy Pokemon backed away to avoid the incoming attacks. The rest of the gang stepped up to battle. Two of them sent out a Machoke and a tentacruel.
"Me and Otis got these two, you two go for the rest!" Maker called out.
The Drapion charged at Charo again. The Charizard prepared his dragon claws. Meanwhile Golem was using rollout towards Nia.

“Nia, dodge and use Night daze!” Otis called out, and her Pokémon nodded swiftly and moved out of the way of the rocks. But, a few hit her. Usually it would be super effective, but this time surprisingly it wasn’t. Then, Nia’s form started to change, and it revealed that it was Clever, Otis’ Zoroark. Clever jumped in the air, and waves of pure darkness came from him towards the Golem, he was of course using Night Daze.
Charo pushed back the Drapion with it's dragon claw, while the golem took the night daze, making it stumble backwards.
"Charo go for seismic toss!" Make yelled as her Charizard grabbed the Drapion by the tail and flew into the sky with it.
Meanwhile the tentacruel stopped the incoming flamethrowers with surf creating a giant cloud of steam. The Machoke emerged from it and head straight for the Blaziken with a cross chop.

Charo smashed Drapion on the floor before it's trainer. The scorpion Pokemon left unconscious. "Tch! I got more!" Kurt called out as he reached for another pokeball. "We don't need your stinking cupcakes you twerp!" He yelled at Michael.
Just then another gang member appeared and yelled at the rest. "Yo that blonde chick is the one who took out the baws two weeks ago!"
Kurt looked at Maker with an astonished look. "Hey lady we sorry we didn't know ya was a pig, I mean a cop!" He and the others returned their Pokemon. "We going to study or something like that." They took off running away from the group and into a nearby alley.
"Well that was fun!" Maker said as she returned Charo. "Hey Michael, Jodi! You staying with us at the hotel?" Maker asked like if the whole battle never happened.

Michael looked hurt when the jerk yelled at him."B-but...They're good...."He mumbled.As the jerks fled,he sighed and turned to Maker."No...We're staying in Jubilife City.Since my grandparents went to take care of our ranch,my aunt and uncle needed to go take care of their house,so we're taking care of their house!But...Maybe we can stick around for a little bit."
"If you're okay with it..."Jodi quietly said.
"If you're okay with it..."Jodi quietly said.

"Of course I am!" Maker yelled out as she hugged Jodi and shook her like a rag doll. She then went for Michael but stopped and starred at him with a serious look. "Wait a minute..." She measure her height compared to Michael's. "You're taller than me now?! Since when?!" She measured him again. "That's no fair!" She put her hands on his head and tried to push him down. "Get shorter!" After failing to shrink him, she gave him a big hug. "I'm glad to see you growing!" Although part of her was jealous.
Michael looked shocked when he saw that he was taller than Maker."Uhhhh.....What?!"He looked again to make sure,but he was cut off by Maker who tried to shrink him."Ow!That won't work!"He sighed with relief when she stopped."I...Don't know how to feel about that...Aren't you like 19 or something?How are you so short?!"He pulled back and looked at everyone with a smile."I'm the tallest here!Nice!"
"Okay,sky scrapper wannabe,shut up!"Jodi said a little annoyed.
"Fine....Oh!I remembered that I made mini cupcakes for you guys!Wait here!"He strolled towards the bush that Blaziken put the boxes in so they won't explode and brought them to the others."Get ready to get delighted!The cupcakes are in the form of your team!"

Charo followed his trainer's example and compared himself to Jodi's Charizard, who only went up to Charo's neck. Charo flapped his wings proudly.
When Maker saw the cupcakes she jumped out of joy. "Finally! I've been craving one so badly!" She took one and began to it. She squirmed with happiness as she savored it. "It's so good! Seriously become a chef and work for me, I pay good!" Maker said while playfully elbowing Michael on his sides. Eve jumped out of joy as Maker threw her a piece.

OOC: Hey, sorry I'm late to the party!
Name: Alex Forester
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Team: A sassy Espeon, an eager Growlithe.
Bio: Raised by a protective single mom, Alex had only just been able to begin his pokemon journey. Back in Mossdeep, Hoenn, Alex's mom is one of the top domestic pokemon trainers. Being exposed to her training clients' pokemon from a young age, Alex grew up with the goal of becoming a Pokemon Behavior researcher.
---------
"Yes, Mom, I'll be fine. . . . I know Sinnoh isn't the safest place right now, but really I think overall this is actually the safest decision to make. We weren't able to find any affordable fire stones in Hoenn for Gowlithe to evolve with, but you know how cheap they are here in Sinnoh. . . . Okay okay, I'll be careful. As long as I have my pokemon with me, I'll be fine! . . . I love you too." Alex hung up the phone and looked behind him the crowded airport. The sound of footsteps, luggage wheels on tile, and anxious people filled the air in a way that made Alex a little antsy. Thankfully the taxi he called should be arriving soon, and he'd be sitting right outside the airport when it arrived.
Growlithe looked up at Alex and pawed his leg. "Oh Growlithe, I really shouldn't be letting you break your 'sit, stay'. But I think an exception every now and then is okay," Alex picked her up and set her on his lap. Giving his Gowlithe a hug made him feel a little better. "You know, I won't be able to do this for much longer!"
"Arf!" Growlithe looked up at Alex and barked happily. Growlithe was excited for any way she could better protect her Alex.
On the bench next to him, Espeon rolled his eyes and meowed for the third time in a row. "Oh I totally forgot this is your lunchtime Espeon! Here, I'll see what food we have left," he said, setting Growlithe down. As he reached to unzip his suitcase, he heard the sound of tires crunching on asphalt. The taxi had arrived. "Looks like you'll just have to wait until we get to our hotel room!" Alex said to Espeon with a wink. Espeon responded with an exasperated meow.
~~One short taxi ride later...~~
"Ah, here we are, Shooting Star Hotel. I was starting to think we'd never make it here!" Growlithe bounded out of the taxi and ran straight for the people coming out the front door. Alex stepped out of the taxi shaking his head as Espeon pranced alongside him, excited for food. "You two are such a handful some times."

Ray smiled as Azumi put the hat on his head.
"This is great! I look like one of those Poke Maniac trainers!" he laughed. "But seriously... I'm running out of ideas for how get through to those two, so I'll try wearing these. Hopefully they'll appreciate my 'adorableness' as much as you do!"
When Azumi handed Ray the love ball, he seemed surprised. He didn't add to his team very often... he'd only had Typhlosion, Dusknoir, Corsola, and Mismagius for the longest time, and only added Feraligatr and Tyranitar recently because he felt an obligation to cure them of his brother's influence... It'd been a while since he'd just gotten a new pokemon for the sake of getting a new pokemon - he'd almost forgotten that he was able to do that... - and so the idea immediately excited him.
"W-wow, thanks!" Ray eagerly sent the pokemon out. Akali appeared before them, looking a little shy, but compared to dealing with Feraligatr and Tyranitar this was nothing!
He leaned over and greeted the pokemon:
"Hi there! My name's Ray - Akali, right? Looks like I'm going to be your trainer from now on!" his face was beaming, and the pokemon appeared to be a little more comfortable.
"And she's Azumi, and she's Nana, in case you haven't met before!" he said, pointing towards them as he spoke.

Azumi smiled at Akali. "We met before, but I'm glad to see you again." Nana danced around the Mawile, showing her affection. Azumi took out the last item, which was a black bow. "This is for typhlosion, he is going to look really handsome with it." She handed to Ray. Azumi put away the bag and rushed over to sit next to Ray. "So Maker and the gang should be arriving sometime today and tomorrow. I was thinking we could invite them over or should we go out somewhere?" She snuggled up to Ray as she spoke.

_____________________________________
Crimson opened his eyes slowly as he looked around. He pats his waist.
Three Pokeballs. All Three are still here.
The trainer sighed happily as he clicked the buttons on the pokeballs and his three pokemon came out. Pikachu came first, his ear twitching. Greninja next, his eyes going from blank white to an alert pink. And Blaziken last who hesitantly let her fire bloom a bit. "Where are we?" The trainer wondered.

"Thanks!"Michael said proud.Jodi's Charizard looked up at Charo and waved.Then,he flew back to his trainer's side.Michael got the rest of the cupcakes and held them above Maker's head."Sorry 'Aker.You'll eat the rest at the hotel.Plus,we can't catch up if your mouth is full."He chuckled and gave Otis and Oliver their boxes.They contained cupcakes in the form of their teams,but Otis had a seventh one in the middle shaped like a Komala,to repay her for the one he ate.
Ray sent Typhlosion out and slapped the bow on him with a devious grin.
"Wow bud, look at you! You do look handsome!"
The large badger-like pokemon stared back at Ray with an unamused expression. He clearly wasn't fond of being used as a doll for dress-up... but Ray found it hilarious to tease him.
"This is Akali, by the way - a new teammate of ours" he said, pointing to the Mawhile now dancing around with Nana. Akali seemed scared of Typhlosion at first, but as soon as Ray put the bow on him the volcano pokemon no longer looked as intimidating as he would've liked, and Akali seemed to ease up.
"Yeah definitely!" Ray responded to Azumi. "It'll be nice to catch up with them - OH, but that reminds me!" Ray interrupted himself excitedly. "I haven't told you this yet... But you know how I've been corresponding with Lucian, the elite four guy, about changes that could be made to the legal system in how evil team members are handled? Well, I just got a message from him this morning asking me to speak at the conference they're holding tomorrow evening, in the new city hall where Galactic's HQ used to be! I mean, I know it's last-minute, but I gotta do this! I know political forums aren't exactly exciting, so I'm not expecting any of you to come with me... but maybe we could grab some lunch with them before I have to take off?"
~Back when Ray had first arrived in Sinnoh, after the Tempest incident, he had been bothered by the many cold-hearted newspaper articles claiming that "there's no hope for evil team members - they'll never change" and that "they need to be locked up and forgotten about." Ray knew first-hand that this was not the case, having once been an evil team member himself, and so he took to writing some scathing letters to the editor outlining how, by changing certain infrastructures, evil team members might be able to be rehabilitated. Soon after Lucian, of the elite 4, got in contact with Ray to tell him that he agreed with his stance, and the two of them had been writing back and forth on the issue ever since. As an elite 4 member, Lucian played a major role in the region's politics, and so Ray was very excited to be given a platform by him...

Azumi loved the way typhlosion looked. "You look way too handsome typhlosion! Now I just need something for dusknoir and maybe more bows for corsola." She listened to Ray attentively and was amazed by his news. "With Lucian? That's amazing! We have to get you a suit. Don't worry I'm sure the others won't mind going, there is no way I'm letting you go without me. I have the day off tomorrow so I can go buy you some clothes. There's no need to take you, you'll just get in the way." She began going into deep thought about what Ray could wear. "By the way do you know what you're gonna say? Can I hear it?"
She looked at him attentively and with excitement. "Oh wait! I'll make popcorn first!" She rushed to the kitchen and threw a pack in the microwave. "I'm so glad to see you make it so far. Makes me feel more attracted to you." You blew him a kiss. "World's greatest detective dates civil rights for ex criminals movement leader..." She laughed at the title. "It has so much irony and yet gives a strong message." She grabbed the finished popcorn and poured them in a bowl. She rushed back to the kitchen and sat on the couch, Nana joining her to get some popcorn. "Ok I'm ready!"
Maker crossed her arms. "Sheeesh you don't gotta rub your height in my face. It's normal for a lovely girl like me to be shorter then a man." She said with a smirk. "Alright let's go! Come on tour guide!" She completely ignored what she said and began walking forward as if she knew where she was going, hoping that Liam would catch up and lead her. Eve followed her example and walked joyfully behind her trainer.

Alex scooped up Growlithe as he walked in the front doors of the hotel, backpedaling while offering apologies to the poor bystanders she had jumped on. He turned around and walked towards the desk, Growlithe in one arm and his luggage in the other. "Hi!" he greeted the receptionist. "I'm Alex Forester, I reserved a room?"
"Hello, welcome to Shooting Star Hotel!" the receptionist tapped some keys on her computer keyboard. "Ah yes, here it is. We're still preparing your room for you Mr. Forester, but we'll take your bags for you while you wait!" As Alex moved to hand over his bags, Espeon jumped onto the counter and gave him a petulant meow.
"Ah, right!" Alex turned his attention to the receptionist as he placed his bags on the desk. "Sorry, one second." Placing Growlithe on the floor, he reached into one of his bags and pulled out a small ziplock bag of Espeon's food - just enough for one serving - along with a paper plate. With Espeon finally satisfied, he left his bags with the receptionist and headed over to one of the lobby couches to wait.
He picked up a flyer from an end table. "'New City Hall' conference, celebrating the dissolving of Team Galactic with special guest speaker Ray Montag," he read aloud. "What do you think, Growlithe? Want to go listen to a speech from a former evil team member?" Growlithe seemed nervous at the idea. "Come on! We could learn a lot about rehabilitating pokemon! It might help us break into the pokemon behavioral research field!" he attempted to tempt Growlithe into agreeing. "Well, Espeon and I are excited, right Espeon?" Of course Espeon meowed in agreement. Anything Growthithe didn't want, Espeon was all too ready for. "Alright, I guess that settles it. We'll be there!"

Maker reached the hotel by some miracle. She walked in proudly straight to the receptionist. "Helloooo, Maker Towers! I reserved two rooms." The receptionist took her information and handed her the keys. "Thanks! I won't be needing with luggage, the clothes I ordered are there though right?"
"Of course, just like you ordered." The receptionist asked with a smile.
"Great! Thank you!" Maker replied and began to walk towards the elevator when she noticed a Growlithe. "My my! Look how beautiful her fur is!" She said as she rushed over to it. Eve followed with a jealous look. Maker sat in front of it to admire it's fur. "You're so beautiful! Who's your trainer?" She asked, looking around.
"Of course, just like you ordered." The receptionist asked with a smile.

Growlithe jumped up on Maker, licking her face. She always loved making people happy, and could tell Maker wasn't anyone to worry about. Alex, hot on her heels, reached down and scooped her up. "Oh, I'm so sorry! Growlithe really gets excited to meet new people." Finally, Espeon finished ambling the short distance from the lobby couch. He walked over and rubbed his side on Eve's legs. Alex shook his head with a smile. "I'm Alex, and this is my Espeon and Growlithe. It's nice to meet you," he said as he reached out a hand to help Maker to her feet.
Maker took Alex's hand and stood up. "Hi I'm Maker. Nice to meet someone with such a lovely fire type Pokemon." She said picking up the Growlithe and petting it. Eve sniffed the Espeon and then looked away as if not interested. Maker put the puppy Pokemon down. "So I'm guessing you aren't from here considering you are staying at a hotel. Where are you from?"
OOC: Sorry, I goofed. For some reason, I thought Eve was a person. Espeon actually isn't too fond of other pokemon, so that shouldn'tve happened.

"Thank you," Alex smiled as he handed Growlithe over to Maker. "That's right, I'm actually from Hoenn. I flew out here to find a fire stone for Growlithe to evolve with. They're pretty rare back home, but I heard they were pretty cheap here in Sinnoh." Alex paused for a moment, thinking of how to phrase his next sentence. "I also figured that this was a pretty good place to study how pokemon rehabilitate from time spent with ... inconsiderate owners. With all the talk about evil teams going on in this region, I thought this would be a good time to finally get started in pokemon behavioral research." Alex held up the flyer he was reading on the couch earlier. "And what would you know, the very first day I'm here, I found out about a talk from a former team member. I'm pretty excited to hear from Ray. I'm sure he's got quite the unique perspective."

"Just go with something simple - something black and white... N-no need to get too fancy!" Ray laughed nervously as Azumi began to contemplate his outfit. Typhlosion, who was still wearing the black bow around his neck, smirked at Ray as if to tell him "you're next," and all of a sudden Ray regretted making fun of the pokemon...
But altogether Ray was very motivated by Azumi's support, and he got to work rehearsing his speech in front of her.
"I don't know exactly what I'm going to say yet... but basically I'm going to be summarizing the research I've been doing on evil teams and their origins, and then go over the potential legislative changes that Lucian and I been discussing in our messages... Uh, here, let me get my notes..." he hurried over to the desk, haphazardly covered in books and old newspapers, where he'd been doing most of his work, and brought a stack of papers back with him. "Hopefully you can help me make a coherent speech out of this in the next hour or so..." he laughed as he plopped the stack of papers down onto a table in front of him and began to speak.
~~ ~~
After a few run-throughs, and with Azumi's input, Ray managed to put together a speech he felt comfortable with, and flopped back onto the couch, worn out from all the speaking...
"Thanks for sitting through all that..." he said to Azumi. "I really appreciate your help."
He sighed and gazed out the window.
"That gym leader, Byron, is going to be there too, y'know... telling everyone how we're all just scum, and don't deserve any second chances... He and Lucian are going to debate after my opening remarks. I hope it goes well... Lucian's obviously WAY smarter than him, but Byron tells the people what they want to hear, so I'm a little concerned..." He fell over sideways on the couch. "UGH... I just want to make sure that people in my old situation have the opportunity for redemption, like I had... "

Azumi felt bad for Ray and laid on top of him. "You're are going to do great. It's a wonderful speech. Plus if they get roudy, I can just drop a building on them." She hugged him and gave him several kisses. "Besides what you're doing here is big. I'm so proud of you for taking charge in charge in such a movement. I feel lucky to be around you." She rested on top of him. "I'm going to need a new dress." She though out loud.
