Private/Closed The First Annual Solaurea City World Tournament! (RP)

[BoredSnowglobe]

She looked up at Toby and smiled. Otis watched as Ken sent out a Shuckle. “Hmm, a Shuckle is a tough Pokémon...” She took a moment to think about what to use against it. Otis then quickly tossed the Pokeball she had in her hand. A Scolipede with long antennas came out, ready for battle. “Nia, use Rollout, quickly!” The Scolipede nodded as she started to run towards the Shuckle. She then jumped and curled into a ball, now spinning rapidly towards her opponent.

Toby's smile quickly turned into a grimace. "That Shuckle is named Sheer Heart Attack? Is that the reason behind it fainting? He got a heart attack from fear? Why even bring a Shuckle here in the first place?" He turned to Wolf and sighed. "I've said it before and I will say it again, a Shuckle has no place in this tournament."

Shiori dropped his bag just as Sparky fell out of it, seemingly trapped in his Magikarp mask. Raza, unable to contain herself, burst out in laughter at the sight of the Pachirisu trapped in a Magikarp. In fact, the whole scene could have been mistaken for a Magikarp just flapping about on the ground if it wasn't for Sparky's tail sticking out.
"Raza!" Shiori said, gesturing to the mask in a slightly panicked fashion. He didn't want Sparky to break the mask, but the Pachirisu also seemed pretty agitated. Shiori didn't want to risk getting electrocuted by grabbing the electric Pokemon's tail. Raza managed to recover a little bit, wiping a tear from her eye, before striding over to Sparky. In a quick move, Raza snatched up the mask and yanked Sparky out by his tail. She held the electric squirrel Pokemon out in front of her, smiling smugly.

Disaster averted, Shiori quickly picked up his Magikarp mask and slid it back into his bag. Having concealed his alter ego, Shiori looked around for the Froslass once again.

Finion watched as Loki made his way back to the Pokecentre, glad that the other trainer was reunited with his Pokemon. He thanked and then returned the Infernape, looking around to see if he could spot anymore of Loki's Pokemon before deciding to head back to the Pokemon centre as well. Coconut lifted herself into the air once Finion had given her a gentle pat on her neck, the flying/grass type calmly gliding over towards the red roofed building. From the stadium he could hear the cheers of the crowd, Finion now completely sure that there was a battle happening. They had to hurry things up, no way he wanted to miss this.

Sparky had almost electrocuted Raza when she pulled him out of the mask. He hated anyone grabbing him by the tail but he was more relived and thankful than angry. He turned his head to look up towards the Zoroark disguised as a human, a bit miffed with how she was holding him but smiling nevertheless. With a little effort he wiggled around until he could reach her arm, grabbing onto it and pulling his tail out of her hold. Then he carefully moved over to sit on her shoulder, looking towards Shiori with a slightly embarrassed but cheeky grin.

 

[XanthousXatu]

Loki's Froslass, Kimo, was right behind Shiori the whole time. It made a ghastly laugh at the Pachirisu, then appeared right in front of Shiori. It used Haze, which clouded his vision, then went back behind him. Kimo liked 'experimenting' with people like this. Meanwhile, Verde was talking to other Grass-type Pokemon near the stadium. A Sawsbuck seemed to take quite a liking to Verde, as they seemed to talk more than the Sunflora next to them.

 

[Captain Cardboard]

Shiori looked at Sparky sitting on Raza's shoulder. Although he wanted to be a little upset, he couldn't. The little squirrel was probably just hungry, and he seemed to have learned his lesson to not dig around in other people's bags. The trainer smiled and shook his head, then went to get a RagdCandyBar out of his bag for Sparky. Originally, they were for Raza and himself. But Shiori figured he could probably give his to Sparky.

"Waah!" Before Shiori was able to get the candy bar, he jumped back when the Froslass appeared. It blew a cool, black, smokelike haze at Shiori then appeared to vanish again.
"Wait!" Shiori exclaimed, quickly turning to try to find where the Froslass had went. Getting the candy bar had been completely forgotten.
"I'm a friend of Loki's. He's getting really worried about you, since you ran off." Shiori said, hoping the Froslass was close enough to hear him. "I can help you get back to him."

Seeing her trainer suddenly encased in a cloud of black haze, Raza quickly made her way over to the fog. With her illusion depicting her as a human and Sparky on her shoulder, she looked more and more like a normal trainer.

 

[Martin Pine]

Unfortunately Finion hadn't spotted the Tangrowth and instead of looking more he guided Coconut to the Pokemon centre where he landed the grass/flying type and waited. He gave the shiny Tropius a gratefully pat on the neck, sliding off the Pokemon and then returning her to her Pokeball. Figuring he might have to wait a little bit he leaned against the wall of the Pokemon centre, wondering how Shiori, Raza and Sparky were getting along.

Sparky had watched Shiori's actions with interest, the little squirrel Pokemon tilting his head and sniffing the air. Was he getting the candy bar out? The Pachirisu's excitement dissipated after he saw the Froslass appear and toy with Shiori. He clutched onto Raza's shoulder gently as they approached Shiori and the fog, looking aroound in an attempts to spot the Froslass.

 

[XanthousXatu]

The Frosslass tilted it's head as the disguised Zoroark approached her. She was about to use an Ice Beam on the human, but stopped when it heard Shiori's voice. It dispersed the hazy cloud and floated around him. Then, it looked at Raza. Kimo made a cheerful sound and started to follow Shiori to Loki. Meanwhile, Verde looked up at the sky only to see the Tropius Finion was riding on. Verde and the Sunflora waved at Coconut trying to get the attention of the Fruit Pokemon.

 

[Captain Cardboard]

The black haze began to dissipate, and Shiori let out a small sign when he saw the Froslass. Shiori smiled at the Ice-Ghost Pokemon and started to make his way towards the Pokemon Center. He didn't know why, but he had a strange feeling that he had just dodged a bullet. Shiori began to make his way back in the direction of the Pokemon Center, and Raza followed him.

On their way back, Shiori pulled a RagdCandyBar out of his bag. Looking back at Raza and Sparky, he tossed the candy bar to the electric squirrel. However, Raza was quicker and snatched the candy bar out of the air. Then, staring at Sparky with a wicked smile, Raza shoved the whole candy bar in her mouth wrapper and all. At least, that's how it looked. In reality, Raza had hid the RageCandyBar in her illusion, sticking it in her hair.
"Raza!" Shiori exclaimed in surprise. Raza only replied in a raspy laugh.

 

[Martin Pine]

Finion's Tropius had already been returned and the trainer had been outside the Pokecentre waiting for the others to show up. He knew he hadn't spotted Loki's Tangrowth and instead of looking anything further he hoped that the Pokemon had instead spotted him and attempted to find him. With a sigh he looked back towards the stadium, groaning slightly to himself and then looking back down the street. "C'mon where are you Shiori" He knew Loki was in the Pokemon centre, probably making sure the Pokemon he had found were okay.

Sparky sat comfortably on Raza's shoulder, glad that they were heading back to the Pokemon centre with a Pokemon of Loki's. He was quick to spot Shiori taking out the candy, the Pachirisu rising onto his feet and getting ready to catch it. Raza's interception had caused him to gasp, looking over to the disguised Pokemon and watching her supposedly swallow the entire candy bar. His ears pressed against his head and a look of shock and sadness came onto his face, one that quickly changed into annoyance. For a second blue sparks came from his cheeks but they soon stopped, Sparky still being able to smell the bar ... not consumed. The electric squirrel tilted his head, still frowning as he leaned towards Raza's hair, sniffing curiously.

 

[Captain Cardboard]

Watching Sparky's confusion with amusement, Raza allowed the electric type to go through her hair for a moment. Then, like a stage magician performing a trick, the RageCandyBar suddenly appeared in the Zoroark's hand. The disguised Zoroark opened the wrapper and snapped the bar in half, tossing one half into her mouth while handing the other half to Sparky. Her smile had changed to a more well meaning one, and a glimmer of humor flickered in her eyes.

Shiori smiled, seeing that Raza was starting to get along with Sparky. The group turned the corner, and Shiori was able to see the Pokemon Center. Outside, he could see Finion waiting for him. The trainer waved.
"Hey, Finion!" Shiori called, a smile on his face.

 

[Martin Pine]

Despite his constant sniffing the electric squirrel couldn't locate the candy in her hair, only being aware of its presence when he heard the splitting of a wrapper. The Pachirisu lifted his head to look towards her hand, ears perked up and a shock expression on his face. He wasn't really sure how she had managed to do that but he didn't really think about it, especially when half the candy bar was lobbed his way. With a happy squeak he caught it and instead of nibbling at it gently he shoved the whole thing in his mouth, eating it within a second. For a small Pokemon he had a very large stomach. He snuggled up against Raza as a way of thanking her.

When Finion heard Shiori he turned to look at him, Raza and Sparky, a smile coming onto his face as he saw the three of them. "Hey Shiori! How'd your search go?" Loki was still in the Pokemon centre if he was correct.

 

[Captain Cardboard]

"I think it went pretty good!" Shiori said as he approached the Pokemon Center. He gestured to the Froslass he had found. "I'm pretty sure this is Loki's. At the very least, it stopped messing around with me when I mentioned Loki's name. I, uh... Also got the feeling that it was going to start attacking me for real eventually."
Shiori laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head.
"So what about you? Did you find any of Loki's Pokemon?" Shiori asked Finion.

Raza let out a little laugh when she watched Sparky eat the chocolate in one bite. However, she hasn't expected Sparky to snuggle up against her. A look of embarrassment began to spread across her face as she walked over to Finion and Shiori.

 

[XanthousXatu]

Loki yawned, stretching his arms. He looked over at Shiori with his Froslass. "Kimo!", he exclaimed, walking over to his Froslass. It hugged him, then let go. "Okay, do you want to help me find Verde? Or someone else...?", Loki honestly forgot how many Pokemon they'd found. He turned to Shiori and Finion," Thank you so much for putting your time to help me..." He smiled at them, giving a sign of friendship.

 

[Martin Pine]

His smile grew a little wider as Shiori explained how his search went, Finion being glad that the Froslass hadn’t attacked him and that he had found a Pokemon. Upon being asked how his own search went he folded his arms and nodded. “Stopped two of Loki’s pokemon that we’re running away from him and then a third one appeared and jumped on his back so it went pretty well things considered” He never remembered seeing Loki use a Froslass or Garvantula in the tournament but he supposed that he had Pokemon he hadn’t registered to use.

Upon spotting Raza and Sparky he shifted a little bit nervously before covering it up completely, holding out his arm for the Pachirisu to jump on. The electric squirrel gave a little wave to the Zoroark before jumping onto Finion’s outstretched limb and nimbly making his way up onto his shoulder.

Finion smiled at Loki’s sign of friendship, giving a nod to the other trainer before speaking. “Its fine don’t worry about it” He turned his head to look to the Stadium. “Should we get going?”

 

[Captain Cardboard]

"Nice." Shiori said to Finion. When Loki spoke up, Shiori smiled at the young man.
"No problem." Shiori said, giving Loki a thumbs up. It looked like Loki had some of his Pokemon back, to help find the others. Nice. Shiori leaned back and put his hands behind his head.
"Alright! Lets go! I hope we haven't missed too much of the fight..." Shiori said.

Raza gave Sparky a small wave in return as the Pachirisu returned to his trainer, looking a little disappointed that the electric type had to leave. Shiori was kind of surprised, Raza didn't usually form bonds with other Pokemon that fast. Still, he was proud that his Zoroark had made a friend.

 

[Martin Pine]

“Sounds like it’s only just begun, if we hurry we should still be able to see the first battle” Finion spoke enthusiastically, wondering what Pokemon were out on the pitch. He began to make his way towards the stadium with quick steps and hasty movements. Sparky was pretty excited to be heading back there since much like Finion he was looking forwards to watching some more of the battles.

Both the Pachirisu and Finion glanced behind them to see if the others were following, "C'mon lets go!"

 

[XanthousXatu]

Loki was following Finion to the stadium, wondering what battle was next. He made it up to his old spot on the bleachers, energetic about the current Pokemon battle. "So, it looks like it just started...", he observed, sitting on the edge of his seat anticipated as a Toxicroak with Anticipation. He yawned," Do you know what time it is?", he turned over to Finion.

 

[Captain Cardboard]

Shiori followed Finion and Loki into the arena, taking a seat with the two other trainers. Raza sat down as well, and both people looked quite excited to see what was going to occur in the battle. The two competetors appeared to be a guy and a girl. The guy had sent out a Shuckle, while the girl had sent out a Scolipede. This was going to be an interesting battle, he could tell.
"Who do you think is going to win?" Shiori asked Raza. The disguised Zoroark simply shrugged.

 

[Grand Master Koop]

“Counter with your own Rollout!” Following the command, the Shuckle retreated into his shell before rolling towards the opponent’s Scolipede. When he got close enough, Ken let out another command. “Now! Bounce over!” With a hop while he rolled, Sheer Heart Attack bounced into the air and on top of Nia, using his opponent as a stepping stool to bounce over them. “Now use Stealth Rock.” Ken commanded. Sheer Heart Attack got of our his rolling position before sending about many shards of rock scattered around the battlefield.

 

[BoredSnowglobe]

Otis nodded slightly, watching the Shuckle for a moment before turning her eyes towards Nia. Her Scolipede had realized that the Shuckle was no longer in front of her, so she jumped up for a moment to uncurl. Nia landed on the ground, now glaring at the Shuckle. “Iron Tail, quickly!” Otis commanded, still trying to think of a way Nia could defeat the Shuckle. Her Scolipede quickly hopped in the air, her rear antennas turning into steel. Nia turned in the air before attempting to slam the Shuckle with Iron Tail.

 

[Martin Pine]

Finion looked to Loki with a raised eyebrow in response to his question, curious as to why he wanted to know the time. "It's erm, hold on a second" He reached into his pocket to pull out a phone, opening it up for a second and then returning his attention back to Loki. "2 o'clock, why do you wanna know?"
Sparky chose to sit on the shoulder of Finion but occasionally would switch to either Loki's, Shiori's or Raza's shoulder, preferring to sit on the latter the most.

 

[XanthousXatu]

"Eh... I'm just curious...", he didn't really have a reason, and glanced down at the battlefield. "Shuckle versus Scolipede...", Loki mumbled, thinking of possible outcomes. He thought about it," Shuckles have access to Rock-type moves... Though, with Iron Tail or Bulldoze, the Scolipede does have a chance..." He stopped commentating when he realized that he never found his Tangrowth. He hoped he didn't startle the Pachirisu, and he made his way down into the plaza. He called out for Verde, not seeing him at all. He walked around the stadium where he found the Tangrowth. A Sunflora and Sawsbuck seemed to have ran away, but he hugged the Vine Pokemon nevertheless. He held his Great Ball up, and the Tangrowth eagerly went back inside of it.

He made his way back in the stadium. Due to no one going back near his seat, he couldn't actually find it. Being a country person, he walked all the way inside of the stadium instead of looking at the numbers and letters on top of each stairway. After a long time of not ducking and blocking everyone who sat near the bottom's sight, he finally found Finion. He sighed in relief, looking up at the sun. It didn't seem to have moved, so he was gone for a shorter amount of time than it felt like.

 

[Grand Master Koop]

Ken looked as the Scolipede came in with its attack and smirked. "Now, Rollout and bounce!" He commanded. The Shuckle rolled into his shell and began moving. He would avoid the initial strike from the Iron Tail before leaping into the air and starting to ricochet off the Stealth Rocks that were floating around the battle field and would eventually bounce next to Nia and fly at her from the side.
