Rise of The Shadows Start-up

[DXFrost]

Flare looked on as the cruise ship started to pull into the Hoenn harbor. " You ready Cyndaquil?" he asked the small mouse-like pokemon sitting on the guardrail he was leaning on. " Cynda!" it replied happily, ready for some action.

' Our first adventure. This is gonna be fun.' He though in his mind, smiling as he looked back to Hoenn.

Kai woke up with a start, his mind racing. He stopped. 'I've been dreaming about the particle theory?' he thought, 'That's just weird.' He wondered whether or not he should've been wondering about the plane to Unova. Plane? 'The plane!' he quickly realised, "I'll miss it!" Leaping out of bed, he dressed himself and ran for the door, grabbing the Poké Balls for Drakos and Greko along the way. There wasn't a chance in the Distortion World that he was about to miss this. And as he knew from experience, there were plenty of chances in the Distortion World. But even Giratina couldn't stop Kai now.

"...Right. Bag is packed with Potions, Lava Cookies, Full Heals, and a few Poke Balls." Kitsune said. "Let's try not to eat the Lava Cookies as food this time, guys." he said, turning to his Pokemon. He grabbed his packed bag and walked out the door, his Pokemon behind him, ready to begin his journey around the Johto region. The question is, which way should he go, as he was starting from the center of the region.

Tammy looked out the plane seeing the Unova region Drew closer, her piplup on her lap, she had manged to smuggle her Starly on to the carry on bins. She looked down the small bird was giving her it's best puppy dog eyes. She signed "you wanna Cookie Bona?" She asked. Bona's reply was a rapid nodding of the head "fine, But only because you've been good on this plane and just one" she opened a basket and proceed to take a cookie and give it to the little blue pokemon.

 

[Halophage]

Kai sat on the plane with his legs crossed and his tongue sticking out of the side of his mouth. For any one who wasn't Kai, that would look rather strange. For Kai, this meant that whoever concerned had nothing to do. Suddenly, an upside down Drakos head appeared from the top of the seat. "Can I have a cookie?" he said.
"No," Kai replied, attempting to close the conversation, but Drakos pestered on.
"But that Piplup is having a cookie!" he squealed out, indicating a Piplup a few meters away being given a cookie by his Trainer, a teenage girl.
"That's because that girl has a basket of cookies," Kai explained, "I don't have any cookies to give you."
"Make some!" the Trapinch protested.
"I can't conjure cookies out of thin air," Kai sighed.
"That woman has cookies!" Drakos cried out, indicating the nearby waitress. There were indeed cookies. Kai was also very aware that Drakos was generating an awful lot of noise.
"Okay," Kai murmured resignedly, "I'll buy you a damned cookie, just calm down. You're making too much noise."

 

[Meyneth]

Tammy looked down at Bona who was looking behind her, the little thing suddenly graved a small handful of the cookies and ran under her seat. "I Just said One Bona!" she signed "well he'll come back, not like he can get of the plane or any thing like that"

 

[DXFrost]

Flare sighed as the boat docked at Slateport City. " This is it." He said, before pulling out Cyndaquils pokeball. " Return!" He said as gthe fire mouse was pulled back into the pokeball in a red flash.

 

[Meyneth]

Bona had run under many chairs to get to the boy with the screening treekco he lifted up his flipper and offered the green lizard a cookie a voice came from the ceiling "We are beginning our final descent in to Mistralton City please Fasten your seat belt and put all your trays in to the up right position, thank you"

 

[Halophage]

"Thanks," Kai smiled as Drakos gnawed down on the biscuit. "What do you say?" The Trapinch made a small squeak. "No, the answer is not 'words'. You say..." The Pokémon squeaked again. "That's better," Kai said.

"You might want to go back to your Trainer now, we're about to land," he smiled to the Penguin Pokémon. And with that, he unstrapped his seatbelt and proceeded to walk towards a door labeled 'staff only' as the plane began to descend, with some kind of blue case falling out of his back pocket as he stood up. The case slipped off of the chair, and slid under a row of seats before finally tumbling through a disposal chute at the front of the plane...

 

[Meyneth]

"There you are! come up here right now!" Tammy said, the bird obeyed, "no more Cookies for the next week!" She looked out the window to the the trees getting bigger and the ground getting closer Then a screeching sound as the planes landing gear met the ground.

 

[Halophage]

Kai wasn't fazed by the fact guards tried to suppress him once he opened the 'staff only' door. It happened a lot. A quick Hyper Beam from Drakos and they were dealt with. Kai liked TMs. Now, he was not trying to break into anything on the plane. He just enjoyed using the back door once in a while. It saved him the hassle of waiting for the que.

"Right," he said once outside of customs, "Do we have everything?"
"How should I know?" Drakos retorted. Kai ignored him.
"Let's see..." he began, "Poké Balls?" He felt in his pockets. There were only two. "Drat! Only you and Greko! I thought I at least had Alpha. Backpack?" Nothing weighed down Kai's back. "Nothing. I've forgotten everything!" he cried out in frustration, "At least I remembered my Badge Case." He reached to take it out of his back pocket, but found it was gone. "No! It must have fallen out on the plane!" He turned to Drakos in dismay. "We've got nothing. We're going to have to start everything all over again." Drakos stared at the ground sadly, saying nothing. "At least we have experience," Kai said in an enthusiastic voice, "That'll help a lot!" The Ant Pit Pokémon was still silent. "Come on," Kai told him, "The sooner we start, the sooner we can get back all of the stuff we lost." The two set off, discussing what to do next.

 

[Meyneth]

Tammy Looked around Mistralton City razor high about her head and Bona in her arms."it sure is big here" she looked around, and stopped a blue case "what's this" she asked as she leaned down to look at the case.

 

[Halophage]

**OOC**
This is Kai's original Badge Case. If you've found it, then it is empty.
**OOC**

Kai was very irritated at the loss of his Badge Case. It contained Gym Badges from almost everywhere. Including Unova. He just hoped it hadn't fallen out of the plane through some kind of chute. If it did, then it would have most likely emptied its contents onto the street, which, after checking the city's timetables, he knew would have already been vacuumed up. Whether or not the case was found, he would still have to battle through the Unova League again.

Kai and his Pokémon decided to skip the nearest Gym for now. They would travel back to Stration City and face the leaders there first. While this seemed a little drastic, Greko and Drakos where nowhere near strong enough to battle a Flying-type Gym Leader with level 30-ish Pokémon just yet.

 

[Meyneth]

Tammy opened up the case, only to find it entry, she looked around trying to find It's owner, but no luck. She placed it in her bag, just in case. She knew that she sould go to the local pokemon center, and see if she sould rest, or get some transportation to a different town as she stated walking to the center.

 

[RuBoo]

Kitsune turned to the local Gym, which specializes in Ghost-types. "I guess I could start here." he said, walking over to the Gym and stepping inside.

 

[Meyneth]

Tammy walked over to the nurse at the center, "Hello, I'm new as both a trainer, and here in Unova, recantations of where I should start?" Tammy inquired "well the easiest gym is in Stration city but it may be better to go to drivel city and change the gym there" "thanks" was Tammy's reply, but I'm not looking for gyms, I want to know of any good places that I can learn about food" "well then, you sould go to ether Castelia City, Nacrene City, or Striaton City." "Thanks" Tammy walked out of center and headed towards a bus stop, a sign there stated that Castelia City was closest. she decided to take it, as she sat waiting for the bus to come.

 

[RuBoo]

"Nice to see you again, Morty." Kitsune said, entering the Gym. "Hey, Kitsune." Morty replied. "So, what brings you here?" "I'm here to make a challenge." came the reply. "A challenge?" Morty asked. "You mean a Gym challenge? I didn't know you were registered yet." "I registered yesterday. Let's go." "I don't recommend my Gym as a first. Still, if you insist. Gastly, go!" "Cyndaquil!"

 

[Halophage]

Kai had managed to keep what was left of his sanity as he reached Castelia City. Drakos had been pestering him for this and that the whole time. "Are we there yet?" Drakos shouted down his ear from his shoulder. Kai took a deep, angered breath. He had had no sleep for the past three nights, and had heard nothing but a Trapinch squealing on about how he was hungry and how cool it would be if he could fly for the past seventy hours. He stopped on the spot, his lungs full of air and his throat braced for mass vibration.
"That does it! You, Drakos, have given me a complete nightmare for the last three days straight, with no break!" he screamed. Drakos hung his head in shame, and people in the street were looking at Kai like his was completely insane, which he probably in fact was. But he shouted on, "I have had it! Yes, Drakos, we are here! We are going to stop here, challenge this Arceus-damned Gym, and get it over with! And then I am going to get some bloody sleep! Alright?! I hope you're very pleased with yourself!"
"Are you going to tell the council on me?" Drakos asked sadly. Kai was panting.
"Huh?" he murmured once he had recovered his breath from his verbal explosion, "Tell the council? Whatever for?" He walked into the Bug-type haven that was Castelia City Gym.

 

[Meyneth]

Tammy looked out the bus window. This was her stop, she realized, as the bus started to pull away. "wait! Wait! This is my stop" she explained as the bus driver let her out, now to find a delish Ice cream cone! she stated walking the streets looking for the famous stand.

**OOC**
Careful you don't run into Vanillish!
**OOC**

Kai was unimpressed with the small, hexagon-shaped room. The Gym statues were covered in honey, one of the walls was coated in it... 'Who looks after this place?' Kai thought. Then he remembered that the wall was honey. "Oh, yeah," he muttered to himself quietly. He walked towards it, but wasn't willing to wash his hair thirty times over again. Luckily, he had a Ground-type with him. "Sand Tomb," he commanded Drakos. The tiny orange ant blasted the honeycomb wall, and, it opened up a small hole in the gooey substance. Kai walked through it. It sealed up quickly. A second chamber awaited him on the other side, three hexagons. Drakos just opened another hole.
"Hey!" someone shouted, "You can't do that!"
"Do I care?" Kai called back, slipping through the next hole. Sure enough, Burgh was there.
"Hey, Kai," he smiled, "Peppy as usual, I see. What brings you back here?"
"Training," Kai lied. He didn't want to say that he lost everything. "I'm here in particular for a Gym Battle."
"You've got all of the Badges," Burgh pointed out.
"Lost my Badge Case and all of the Badges, and thought a few battles to regain them wouldn't hurt my Pokémon's level," Kai explained hastily.
"In that case," Burgh called out while tossing a Poké Ball, "What are we waiting for? Go, Whirlipede!"
