Name: Jason
Age: 12
Personality: Jason was always nervous around girls his age. This is mostly because he's a Zorua who spends more time as a human than an actual Zorua. People look at him and think he's a total edge lord, but he's not. He's just an adventurous kid that loves to make music.
Appearance: Skin's white, hair's red, shirt's red, jacket's black, red and black headphones, black pants, red sneakers.
Pokémon: None yet
---------------------------------
Jason walked out of the forest, hoping nobody saw him. "Phew, I thought they were actually going to notice me this time." He said. He jumped the fence and he was in Hau'oli City. He took a sniff of the air. "Ahhh! Smell that nice Alola air!" He looked over next door to the other town. Three more 10-year-olds were picking their starter. "Dang it! I'll NEVER get a Pokémon!" He whisper-yelled. "Maybe I can make a buck or two today." He said. He grabbed a briefcase off his back. He opened it, and out unfolded an entire DJ set, with his laptop. "Please don't be too loud..." he thought with his eyes closed. He picked a song on his laptop and started playing it.

Other: she lives in Poni Island and is moving to Melemele Island
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ra looked outside her Vaporeon Boat which was beside a Jellicent Boat "Morning Luka!" She shouted at her neighbor who waved at her. She smiled before looking back to her game, she was currently fighting Sans after a painstakingly Genocide Run. She really hates her perverted sentimentality towards motherly character. "Ra! Did you do the chores!" Ran her mother asked as she walked in the boat house "Of course! The berries are in the right places and our clothes are already in their suitcases. Plus we have a full storage of food and supplies we dont need to get anymore items in town." She informed as she make her character dodge Sans Gaster Blasters. There so cool!

Ra heard her mother giggled but she shrugged it off "Your really excited to go to Melemele, huh." Ra answered it with a grunt "So excited that you lose your lazy persona. I hope this continue on." Ra huffed "You know that would never happen." She mumbled. 'GAMEOVER', Ra gaped at the screen before groaning in frustration "No~ why~"

"Fro." She looked up to her Froakie, Poseidon, holding a crossbody bag and a straw hat "Oh... OH!" She grabbed the items and Poseidon "Mom! I'll be visiting a friend, dont leave without me!" She shouted as she sprinted to her friend's house. Ran shook her head "You know we wont. You are the captain of this boat after all."

 

[DopeLeafeon470]

(Human! Stay determined!)

Jason saw a Vaporeon boat dock on Melemele. A girl ran out with a straw hat...who also happened to have headphones. And a PS4 Vita. "Oh, god, please don't have Undertale on there..." he said. He didn't have anywhere to hide, so all he could do was stand there and hope she wouldn't notice him. Jason checked his can. "Sweet! One whole dollar! The pack's gonna be DUMBFOUNDED when they see me!" He whisper-yelled.

 

[Mikaela Strange]

Ra tripped and lose her balance but Froakie was able rebalance her by pulling on her hoodie "W-woah!" She took a few steps back getting her bearings, she didnt realize that her straw hat were blown away and her hood was off "Thanks Poseidon." Suddenly felt an incredibly warm sensation on her head, she looked up and squinted at the sun. She wanted to scream but she hold it in, she sigh before pulling her hood on. "I hate this..." but what she didnt notice is the blasting music of Sans Fight theme on her PS Vita.

 

[DopeLeafeon470]

Jason noticed her hat was blown off. "Tapu Koko, please come and catch her hat before it falls into the water! Please!" He whisper-yelled. He never came. Then he looked up into the sky. He sighed. "You owe me one, Koko." He said. He jumped over his setup and ran towards the hat as it was about to be blown into the ocean. "The things I do for purty anime girls." He said nervously. "At least I could have a scar to show the pack." Right before it reached the dock, he dived and caught it. Yes! He thought. Then he realized his sleeve was up. His shoulder dragged across the hard concrete of Hau'oli. He was going to say the s-word from the pain, but he avoided it somehow. He got up and handed the hat back, his arm on his shoulder. "Welp, here you go." He said. He limped. "I'm gonna go..." he said, then realizing what awesome quote he could say as he was leaving. "Papyrus, do you want anything?" He said with a grin as he was walking away.

Standing beside a tree was Akumu with his Pancham; Brutus. The two stood before the first route of their Island Challenge, a determined look in their eyes.
Brutus looked up at Akumu and grunted, tapping his knee.
"Hm?" Akumu looked down at Brutus, cocking a brow. "What is it?" Brutus replied with another grunt and pointed at the route they were yet to enter, an expectant look on the Panchams face. "Ah," Realized Akumu, "You want to go now?"
"Pan, pan!" Brutus replied excitedly, hopping in place while waving his hands around.

Layla grinned as she waved goodbye to the rest of her town, it was a small place with not much activity. But everyone knew each other and they were kinda like one big family. Layla was the first of her village to be sent out on a pokemon journey in years, and she planned on coming back as the champion of the Alolan region. With a grin she tightened the grip of a pokeball in her hand, a gift that the local breeder gave her before nodding to her Bonsely who skipped after her, "Come on, we're gonna miss the boat!" she cheered before turning away from her town. With that she raced off and onto a small ship which would carry her to Hau'oli City.

 

[DopeLeafeon470]

(Ah, shoot, I messed up. Just pretend I'm on the same island as you guys, 'kay?)
Jason realized what he had done. He did something nice for a girl, now the girl's going to talk to him, especially since he quoted Sans. He thought changing back would make her avoid talking to him. He transformed back into a Zorua and ran off. "Maybe if I sit on a completely different row than where she would be, she'll not notice me, and I'll be able to get through the boat ride without any girl noticing me." he told himself a day he transformed back into a human as he ran back to his DJ set.

 

[Mikaela Strange]

The boy said something extremely familiar but she just can't get herself go remember what it is. She shrugged and put on her hat "Thanks... I'll be going now. Hope you see Papyrus soon." She said before going to the Seafolk Village. She kept pondering on the boy's words until "Wait," she looked behind her "Papyrus... do you need... anything? Hm~, oh yeah! Sans last words. How did I miss that?!" Many people are staring at her now. Well they could never consider someone who is talking to no one normal but AMJ didn't care. She simply sigh and walked back in line at the Malasada Shop.

 

[DopeLeafeon470]

Once Jason transformed back into a human, he looked at the terrible scratch on his arm. It was still hurting, and by now it started bleeding. He took deep breaths. "Yep. Thanks a lot, Koko." He choked. He pulled his sleeve back down and continued the music. "You know what? I think I feel more confident now." He thought. He paused the music, and played a different one. "Maybe there are more Undertale players around here, maybe this is my way of getting friends" it was a remix of Death By Glamour, if it wasn't remixed enough.

 

[Mikaela Strange]

"Its a beautiful day outside... the bird are singing... the flowers blooming... on days like this... kids like us... SHOULD REALLY BE GOING! HAPU!" Said girl turn around only to see a human umbreon running towards her. Wait, what?

The Umbreon tackled her in a hugged and she finally remember who this umbreon is "You are as energetic as ever, Ra." Ra giggled as she stood up and held out a hand to Hapu to help her up. She accepted and dusted herself "Well~ maybe. I heard your going to hit the road again, huh?" Ra asked as she walked inside Hapu's house "Alola, Makuahine (Grandma)" The said elderly looked at her smiling "Alola, Ke kai (Sea child)" Hapu walked in and Ra followed her. "So what's this favor you want me to do." Hapu give her a serious gaze "Well as you may have known, in a few days or so I'm going to leave once again in a journey but it seems I'm not the only one." Ra laughed nervously as she looked at Hapu "Now, now, its not like I'm leaving forever were just an island away-" Hapu slammed her hand on the table stopping Ra from explaining "Which is way I called you here to... catch Pokémon with and explore the meadow one last time." Ra looked at her before nodding "Sure, wynaut?"

"And no puns."

"KJ."

 

[DopeLeafeon470]

Once the song was finished, he took his savings into the forest. He transformed back into a Zorua and held the dollar with his mouth. "Leader! I got a dollar! A full dollar!" He yelled. "Wow! How did you get this?" Asked the leader. "I found it on the floor! It must be my lucky day!" He said. "Um...why are you wearing headphones?" Asked the leader. "Wh-what headphones?" He said as he quickly took them off. He knew he wasn't allowed to be himself in the pack, so that's why he was running away to Melemele.

That night, the boat was still there. Jason waited until the coast was clear. He swiftly moved out of the forest, and transformed into a human, but then he forgot his headphones. He quietly went to grab them, put his shirt, jacket, pants, and shoes on, then he was off to the boat. He sat down. He was the first one there, and it felt good.

(Okay, at this point, when you're all finished with what you're doing at the moment, you might wanna head to the boat)

 

[9012_dirt]

Layla allowed the Bonsley to roam the boat, for he preferred to stay inside rather than taming the seas as she waved her finger and watched Cherry dance around in circles. Soon the call of an old strangled voice made her look up, "Land ho!" he called causing her to grin. Layla jumped to her feet and scooped the Fomantis into her arms, "Come on Aruthus!" she called down the boats corridor as the wood creature struggled to run towards Layla. After placing Cherry next to her other pokemon Layla gazed fondly at the two before skipping slightly as she turned around, "Thank you so much," she personally thanked each member of the grew before wrapping her arms around the captain. "Bye Mr.Johnson!" she released form the hug and walked off the boat. With a grin Layla fixed her satchel and nodded to her small pokemon, she then began marching with multi-colored eyes set on the path ahead of her. Where to? She wasn't quite sure, but she knew that she'd stumble upon something.

 

[DopeLeafeon470]

The boat started leaving, and he looked around. He saw a vending machine. "Sweet! Some Hawlucha-Cola sounds great." He thought. He checked his pocket. His dollar was still there. Was he seriously going to spend it on a soda? "There's nothing better to do with this...besides, I've earned tons of quarters, I can ask for some dollars." He said. He put in his dollar and put in the numbers for his soda. He heard a clank and he opened the "PUSH" flap. He took his soda and cracked it open. "Ahhh!"

 

[Mikaela Strange]

"See ya, Hapu!" AMJ called out as she waved at her old friend, who also waved back "I'll see you!" AMJ grinned before running back to her family's boat house. "Alola everyone! Captain's back and were sailing ahead to Melemele Island! So please buckled, and enjoy the ride! Paps, get the platform and raise the anchors, we're going full speed!" Her father Aegir and her eight sisters including her mother all did as told. As they sailed to Melemele, AMJ cant help but think of her new companion.

 

[KoishiTheRockruff]

Akumu gave Brutus a smile and nodded.
"Well then," He began walking toward the large patches of tall grass, the excited Pancham skipping after him rather eagerly. "Lets start with our adventure then!" Akumu grinned and broke into a jog over to the tall grass, Brutus leaping out in front of him, obviously eager for any battle of the sort.
___________________________
Later, Akumu and his two Pokémon finished with their 'training', which was really just battling anything they could find.
The group already passed by Iki town by this point, completely skipping the festival seeing how Akumu already gone to the celebration so many times to grow bored of it. Now, they were at the outskirts of Hau'oli City, Akumu occasionally battling wild Pokémon he suspected to be powerful enough to have a chance against his team.

 

[9012_dirt]

Can I make another character?)
Layla bounced slightly as she walked, unable to contain he excitement. As Layla began to walk through the grass unsuspectingly a moving figure caused her to stop. She knew it wanted to battle but it was too small for her to even see what pokemon it was, "Um okay." she took in a breath before regaining her confident smile. "Go Aruthus!" she called as the Bonsly nervously made his way out and ahead of her. As the Alolan Meowth stood on it's hind legs Layla could tell what pokemon it was, "Low-kick." Layla commanded just like she was taught by the village elders. She grinned as the hit landed but it didn't seem to have much of an effect. The Meowth charged at Bonsly with extended claws causing Layla to gasp, but just in time Layla called out, "Mimic!" and the two pokemon clashed 'scratches'. "Low-kick, again." Layla attempted and to her surprise the Meowth fainted, he must've been putting on a tough act even though he was hurt pretty bad. "Yay!" Layla cheered as she danced around her pokemon.

 

[DopeLeafeon470]

When the boat stopped, he thanked the crew and stepped off. He was now in Hau'oli City's Beachfront. "Wonder if starter picking opens up here." He thought. He started running towards Iki Town. "Hmm...this looks preeetty cliché." He saw a big house. He went inside. "Excuse me, are you Professor Hala?" Asked Jason. An old man turned around. "Yes I am. What is it that you need?" He asked. "Do you have any starters?" Asked Jason. "Perfect timing. I only have one left, and it's a Litten." Said Professor Hala. "Uh...no thanks." He said, remembering what it evolves into. "Alright then. I have THIS egg." He said, walking into another room and bringing out a light blue egg. "That looks awesome! Thanks!" Said Jason. He took the egg. "Well, I have to go now. Thanks again!" He said, running out the door. He put his new egg on the ground. "Well, looks like it's just you and me. I'll call you...Peter!" He said. He picked up the egg and started walking away. He was looking at his egg for so long, he walked straight into Layla. He fell down from the surprise and the egg dropped too, he was able to catch that, but then he had to get up. "Please don't make this one be like the last one" he thought. "Uh, h-hi."

 

[9012_dirt]

Layla let out a yelp as she was bumped into, she rubbed her shoulder although it didn't really hurt that badly. Turning, she blinked at the boy on the floor. After a moment of staring, a giggle released from Layla. As Bonsly and Fomantis peered out from behind her legs Layla extended a hand to help the boy to his feet, "I'm so sorry, are you alright?" she smiled kindly.

 

[DopeLeafeon470]

"Uh, yeah, I-I'll survive." He said. He grabbed her hand and stood up. He wanted her to know that if he bumped into her at all, that it was comepletely intentional and not being careless, and being careless was what he was doing. So instead, he said, "Uh, wh-what's your n-name?" He asked.

 

[Mikaela Strange]

As there bout house docked, Ra let her siblings left first despite being the third eldest of the siblings she acted like the oldest of them. Well having childish and half-insane sisters... you get the point. "Ra, have you seen Frisk?" Said girl looked at her mother with a suspicious look, analyzing her mother if she was just pulling her leg "No, why?" Ran looked at her girls before looking at Ra "Well, we only have six in the loot." "What?" Ra ran toward the door and counted her siblings and indeed the youngest was missing. She groan and jumped down the boat "You guys stay close to mom and DONT LEAVE!" Ra then ran faster towards the route one.

 

[9012_dirt]

Layla smiled when the boy accepted her help. She was glad the egg and him were okay, he seemed like a nice boy. Odd in some ways, but nice. "My name is Layla, Aruthus and Cherry are my pokemon." she smiled and gestured to each one with their names as the Fomantis waved. "What's your name?" she asked, he was a bit nervous, not that she minded.

 

[DopeLeafeon470]

"Uh, I'm Jason, and...all I have i-is this egg. Wonder what it'll hatch into..." he pondered. "Uh...are you going to try the island trials with those Pokémon?" Asked Jason. He wanted to travel across every island and get every stamp from every kahuna from every trial. He couldn't participate now, but he could get a head start while he was waiting for his egg to hatch.

 

[Mikaela Strange]

Ra arrived at route one where a house, probably where they will move in, and a fork road with a nearby Pokémon center. She looked towards the Pokémon center and from its wall she can see a copper colored hair peeking out of the wall. Ra ran towards the center only to see her sister shielding a seal like Pokémon from two punks. She growled as she saw one of them rose there foot "Hey! You wanna kick something? Why don't you kick your own butt maybe that way your brain will finally be in its right place!" The punk growled and glared at her "What did you say girly?" Ra gave him an irritated look discreetly signaling for her sister to run. "Oh so your not only stupid, your also deaf!" Frisk or better known as Saffi crawled, and run away from the punks who was glaring at Ra "Your gonna pay for that girly." Ra give him a smirked "Why? Do I owe you or are you really just that poor?"

 

[KoishiTheRockruff]

At this point, Akumu reached Hau'oli City and was wandering around, his newly trained Pancham; Brutus following him around of course. His other Pokémon tucked away in its Pokéball for it already trained enough for that time being.
The two roam through the city, occasionaly finding random items scattered about such as the simple Potion or Pokéball. Heck, they even found a couple of Great Balls!
Then, the Pancham let out a gasp before suddenly blurting;
"Pan pan, Pancham!" Brutus yanked on Akumu's shorts and pointed at what excited him so much.

Ah yes.
A malasada shop.

"Ah, so that's what you're so excited about?" Akumu cast an amused look on Brutus, who nodded eagerly in reply.
"Pancham!" Brutus nodded again, climbing onto Akumu's shoulders. "Pan!" The Pancham thrust a paw toward the shop, indicating that he wanted to go there.
"Ok, ok! I think we have enough money..." Akumu muttered that last part, not wanting to crush Brutus's dreams of having a malasada. His hand went into his pocket and felt around, feeling a small stack of papers he recondnized as Pokédollars. "Thank goodness... I have enough..." Akumu thought, letting out a small sigh of relief before walking over to the malasada shop.

 

[9012_dirt]

Layla looked down at her pokemon before answering Jason's question, "Well, yeah!" she grinned. Cherry let out a high-pitched noise before Layla picked her up and rubbed the pokemon's head. "Your egg looks pretty close to hatching." she commented based off of her knowledge from her local breeders tips, she then shrugged. "Where are you off to now, Jason?" she asked the boy.

 

[DopeLeafeon470]

Jason actually didn't think of that. He escaped the pack, so he didn't know what to do now. He didn't want her to know that he wanted to do the island trials with her, so he tried to play it cool. "Uh, well, I-I have nothing better to do, m-might as well do them with you, since my egg is so close to hatching." He said. Then he winced for about a second. "Crap, wrong words! Abort! Abort!" He thought.

 

[9012_dirt]

Am I allowed to have 2 characters?)

Layla paused before a wide grin spread across her face, "Oh yeah! That would be awesome!" she commented with glee. Opening her map. Layla turned so she was beside Jason, she pointed at a spot on the map "I was thinking that we should start on Melemele Island." she shrugged, Layla then turned to face Jason they were awfully. Close growing up on her island where everyone was pretty much family, she was just custom to closeness. "We should stay here until your egg hatches, and maybe we can both get in a little training before we are on our way out." she smiled.

 

[Mikaela Strange]

The two punks released a Zubat and a Raticate while Ra released Poseidon and her new companion Riolu, named Galahad. "Zubat use bite!" Said the one of the punks "Raticate, Quick Attack!" Ra growled, this is a big waste of time " Poseidon, Water Pulse! Galahad, use Force Palm!" The two Pokémon did as told. Galahad charged towards the two, first blasting the Raticate sending it flying. Poseidon blast the ball of water towards the Zubat who was blast off to the ground it met with Galahad's palm which blast it off to the sky. Ra gave them a glare "I dont care if you keep doing what your doing to others but if you touch one of my family. Your Pokémon wont be only ones flying." She said in a low threatening voice before she turn and leave her Pokémon following her.

 

[DopeLeafeon470]

(Yes, that's okay, just make sure you use both when posting)

"Uh, yeah, okay, that's be great." He said. He put his egg in his hood. It was the perfect pouch. "Since I don't have anything to keep it warm, I thought that'd be a good idea." He said. Then, he heard a cracking sound. "Hm. I guess Hau raised it a bit." He said, taking it out of his hood and onto the ground. The egg stopped hatching. He held it again and there were a lot more cracks. He put it on the ground again and it stopped hatching. "Huh." He said. He held it again, and the top came off. A blinding light appeared, and then out came an icy Vulpix. Jason felt cold for a split second, but then he was good. "Vul!" Said the Vulpix, cheerfully. Vulpix climbed up his body and onto his shoulder. It licked his face, then hopped onto Jason's head. Vulpix' tail was wagging vigorously. "Ah, crap." Jason realized. "I forgot to buy Pokéballs." He said. "Now someone's gonna take it from me..." he said.

 

[9012_dirt]

Layla watched the egg in awe both of her pokemon equally curious as to what would come out. At seeing the icy-blue fox Layla's eyes widened, "Awe," she grinned at it's cuteness before hearing Jason. Layla furrowed her eyebrows before grinning, "You can burrow one of m-" she paused as she reached into her bag and her eyes grew wide, it seemed she too had forgotten to get pokeballs. With a guilty giggle she grabbed Jason's hand and pulled him slightly, "Come on, there's a shop back this way!" she smiled before releasing him and marching towards the pokemart.

"Heave! Ho!" Darius called over his shoulder, wrapped around his bare chest was a harness made of ropes, and behind him each of his pokemon where set up with the same. They were attached to a large boulder which with enough struggles they were managing to move, by the time they finished, Darius wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and undid his harness. After undoing all of his pokemon's set-ups he highfived each before they walked to an elderly man. At the man's thanks, Darius shook his head, "My pleasure, great training- please feel free to call me back any time." he smiled before turning away.
"Scrag!" Darius's smallest team member complained causing the trainer to turn around and look at his exhausted pokemon, sometimes he overdid training. With a chuckle Darius nodded, "Alright let's find a shady spot for a bit, then we'll do some combat training." he said firmly.

 

[DopeLeafeon470]

As Jason's hand was taken, his face pretty much exploded from redness. Vulpix noticed, and blew on his face. "Whew. Thanks." He patted Vulpix on the head. He didn't forget the Pokédex he found while exploring the woods. He pulled it out of his pocket, which also had a magnet in it. You never know when you might need a magnet. He opened it up.
VULPIX, THE FOX POKÉMON, ALOLA FORM. IN HOT WHEATHER, THIS POKÉMON CREATES ICE SHARDS WITH ITS SIX TAILS AND SPRAYS THEM AROUND TO COOL THEMSELF OFF.
"Huh, so that was what it was doing. Thanks, Vulpix!" He said. "Vul!" Vulpix started nibbling on his hair.

 

[KoishiTheRockruff]

Akumu opened one of the doors to the malasada shop, first letting in Brutus and walked in after, greeted by the cashier.
"Alola." He greeted them back, giving them the usual Alolan greeting.
Brutus looked up at the great array of malasadas before him, eyes shining with wonder as a speck of drool appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Akumu looked at him again, amused, and asked the Pancham;
"So, which one do you want, Brutus?" He kneeled down beside his Pokémon, cocking a brow. Brutus pointed and waved his finger all around, indicating that he wanted them all.

"Pancham, pancham!" The Pancham cried, way overly excited for one malasada.
"Heh, alright then." Akumu chuckled and stood back up, setting down a thousand Pokédollars on the counter. "Three malasadas, please. Any flavor." The cashier nodded and gave Akumu three random flavors, giving Akumu the change in which he politley denied before he walked back outside. He took a seat at a bench and let Brutus pick his first before letting out Kim, his Jangmo-o and let her pick hers.
He started eating his malasada, enjoying the view he had from the bench.

Layla grinned at Jason and Vulpix although she could only hear their conversation. She looked down at Aruthus who seemed quite content trotting alongside her, while Cherry lagged behind slightly- but they were all alright. It was a good day, she hoped the rest of her journey would continue this way. Approaching a small town, the pokemart must've been the largest building there, Layla spotted the blue building and grinned. Suddenly a copper-haired girl darted past her in such a hurry it made Layla wonder what she was running from.

Darius picked a spot right outside a nearby city, there was a tree next to the pokemart there where he sat down with his back against it's smooth bark. Machoke sat next to him while Hawlucha and Scraggy took their own spots around the tree to lay down. "Ma?" Machoke's deep voice sounded as it blinked at Darius who sighed, Darius had been wanting to do the island trials for a while now but he's never had enough money for it. In between training he does heavy-lifting for people to make a little extra money, and he plans to defeat more trainers for money too- but he always gave half of his money to his parents who weren't exactly wealthy and he still had to pay for his own food and shelter. "Soon..." Darius muttered to Machoke who stretched out and closed his eyes in a light rest.

Jason heard footsteps behind him. He immediately knew who they were. "Well, if it ain't Team Skull!" He said, turning around. He knew because they tried capturing the pack once. But they had a horn in their hands. The Psychic Horn. If they blew that thing, his illusion would wear off and he'd become a Zorua again. "Oh, uh, h-hey guys! Alright, just, uh, nice and easy..." he said, slowly walking backwards. "Vul?" Vulpix questioned his fear. One Grunt started blowing it. "No no no no!" He said. A loud noise played. "Aaahhh!" Jason said in agony, falling to his knees and covering his ears. He put his headphones on for extra effect. Vulpix noticed Jason as he started to glow and shrink.

When it was done, Jason's clothes lay on the floor. "Vul?" Vulpix tapped the clothes with her paw. There was a lump in the clothes. "Oh, what do I do, what do I do..." Jason thought. If he revealed that he was...oh wait. Jason transformed back into a human, putting his clothes on in the process. "Vul!" Vulpix was happy to see him again. "Phew, no one noticed." He thought. Vulpix climbed up his body and licked his face.

Layla watched the team sound member's with a gasp, they seem to had done something to Jason but she couldn't tell what it was. With furrowed eyebrows Layla's different colored eyes sharpened on the grunts. "Now why'd you do that? It's mean!" she huffed before sending out Aruthus and Cherry in front of Jason. "You can't just go around like that, and he's my friend too!" she growled slightly. She didn't want to have to fight these men, but she would do what was needed of her.

A flash caught Darius's attention in the distance, it seemed that two people were battling- he didn't pay much mind to it though. Standing, the boy cracked his knuckles before poking Machoke with his foot, "Come on guys! Let's get a move on." he clapped his pokemon awake. Scraggy groaned while Machoke and Hawlucha stood. Darius then began marching the opposite way and into a cleared field. "Alright let's do a round with pokemon attacks, and one with regular combat." Darius nodded to his team.

Vulpix jumped off Jason's head and started breathing ice. The ice formed into a fist that hurled at Team Skull. It punched the horn out of Team Skull's hands and onto the floor. Jason ran up to the horn and grabbed it. He threw it in the air, readied himself, and when it reached range, he punched it with all his might, and it also hurled towards Team Skull, knocking them away. "So...you can learn Ice Punch, Vulpix?" Asked Jason. Vulpix smiled and jumped to his head, this time jumping into his hood. It was like a whole home in there. "Heh, looks like you like my hood, Vulpix!" Said Jason. But Vulpix was already asleep. By that time, it was getting dark. "We'd better find a place to rest." He said. "We'll grab some Pokéballs and head to an inn if we can find one." Said Jason.

A loud noise attracted Ra's attention as she looked back to the City. She shrugged and continue helping her family "What was that?" Her sister, Charalin the twin of Saffi or Frisk for good reference, askedas she looked at the same direction Ra looked at. Ra merely shrugged as she lifted the boxes of photo albums her mother had taken in her journey along with the family albums "Probably just a Melemele Island thing." Charalin scoffed "Ya think?" Ra nodded as she walked in there new home which is only on the outskirts of Route one.

Akumu heard the commotion from afar and tossed the rest of his malasada over to a stray Rockruff before suddenly standing up, urging for his Pokémon to do the same.
"C'mon, c'mon! Somethings going on over there!" He told the two before jogging over to where he heard the sudden commotion.
Skidding to a stop, Akumu was met with a couple of kids with their Pokémon and some Team Skull grunts. A single brow narrowed before he blurted;
"What's goin' on here?" He clenched his fists, ready to command for Brutus to knock down the supposed 'enemy'. "Wait... These are those 'Team Skull' people I've been hearing about lately! What're they doing here?" Akumu knitted his brows, deep in thought at the moment. Brutus stood next to him, fists also curled at his sides. Kim looked at the grunts, a rather bored look in her eyes.
