The steel/dragon-type lands on the floor with a slight tremor because of its weight. It gives its opponent a judging glare but stayed silent.

He still had a little more fight in him and Anvi would help him through it. \nNow unfazed by the attacks, Lycanroc just focused on staying on Lapras' back. It was a rough ride though. Maybe if he could just stand his ground on any of the remaining rocks! \nRocks spouted up and Lycanroc leapt onto them again, looking around while trying to avoid the blast coming it's way.

Allister's poking vaguely helped him escape from his desire for Red's attention. When he is free from Monika grasp, he begs to her, \"Please, Monika, you're embarrassing me in front of Red...\" He turns back to Red and ogles at him. Meanwhile, Raihan's Rotomphone snapped the picture when it assumed everyone was ready. \"What a pretty shot!\" He snickered, putting the much need hashtags and such. \"Thanks y'all. I had fun. But geez!\" He stretches his arms over his head. \"What a battle! Ready to do something else fun?\" Raihan had to agree with Irsia. The match would've been longer if they used their full party. He's also displeased of Blue's words, recognizing him. \"Hey, at least he's not second-rate,\" He retorted, also agreeing with Iris's remark. It was probably childish of Raihan to say that, but putting someone down when they're already down is enough salt on the wounds."

He wasn't sure where anyone was going next, so eventually he'd just have to follow another adult. Since, goodness, he wasn't prepared to get lost a seventh time. Leon seemed to have mostly snapped out of being a fanboy, so luckily that was over. Allister then went up to Raihan and tapped his back. \"Uh, gym leader Raihan? C-can I see the picture?\" He liked seeing how stuff like that turned out. Also, he wanted to see himself, not out of vanity, but just to disprove a myth. That being that he wasn't in a few of the pictures because he was a ghost, and they didn't show up in photos. No, he was in all the pictures that were required of the gym leaders, he just switched off with Bea each year."

He's not going to treat Allister like he's some sort of kid (even though he is), but it's better than to strain the little boy's neck from looking up. \"Sure.\" A few taps on his phone and the picture is brought up. He shows Allister the final take (along with it being filtered because why not?). \"Here ya go? The image was kinda... Blurry around where ya were but I pampered it up some.\" The shot of Allister, almost looked distorted (because of the presences of ghosts probably? Interfering with the waves of the photo).

It was probably some kind of synthetic turf. Back where he was from, most of the gyms still had maintained the original idea of keeping Pokemon battles in a small confined area. Some of the gym leaders brought it upon themselves to add their own flare to the way they execute his battles. Gym leader Elesa seems to turn it all into one big fashion show, Marlons gym could easily be mistook for some kind of swimming pool, the striation brothers at some stage implemented their cooking business into there pokebattles. See, everyone had their own way and their own magic to work with confined spaces.
\n\nThe mans shimmering blue eyes scanned the wide area. Big stadiums weren't just for Poke-battles you know; They could be used for contests, for performances, for... Sports that actually use people. The man let out a long, hefty sign of disdains, walking slowly by the running track as his Houndoom and Absol raced each other neck to neck.

Kuku, his Drampa, stayed in the back, conversing with Palm, his Alolan Exeggutor. Elio's Alolan Persian, Pudge, rubbed against his leg, and Kami, the Alolan Golem, rolled around the group."

A perfect opportunity.\n\"...Victor my friend. I may not be this Leon guy, but I can assure you, I'm no pushover! Hariyama! Incineroar! Are you ready!?!?!?

Ineffective against Hariyama, since he's already burning.\n\nIncineroar saw Deku using Iron Defense as an opening, rushing on in as fast as he could, to strike him from behind using Flare Blitz- As well as combining it with Hariyama's Seismic Toss as to essentially sandwich the Lucario between two strong forces."

Is No Guard.\nIt makes any attack from the user impossible to miss... But also, it's impossible for the user to dodge any attacks. How this works is currently being researched upon, but all that is to be known is that Dynamic Punch will always confuse the opponent if it hits, and since moves from Doc's Machamp will always hit...

His blood boiled in blood lust, his eyes opening wider in excitement. \"Overconfident?\" He tsked, shaking his head side to side slowly. \"Oh *Honey*..\" He mocked in a low, raspy voice, sounding almost like sand paper, \"You have.. No idea who you're up against.\"\n\nHis boots squeaked against the floor a few more times; Quincy having taken a few steps away from him. Snatching the ball from it's spinning rotation, he launched it upwards into the sky. \"Let's show this ring master and his circus what we got in store for'em...\" The dim looking ultra ball spun wildly in the air— suddenly exploding in a dark hue of red and eerie purple. \n\nTo Luxio's surprise, no Pokemon appeared out of the pokeball; the empty ultra ball hitting the floor with a hollow thud. He air around both trainers got thinner, colder. A all too familiar feeling of being watched crawling up the males spine, the room around them getting darker and darker with a inky blackness. What the.. Hell.. Did the champion release inside of this stadium?"

HERE WE HAVE A STRAPPING, CONFIDENT TRAINER WHO'S BEEN ITCHING FOR A BATTLE SINCE HE'S ARRIVED! LET'S GET THIS GOING!\"\n\nIf Quinton cared to look, surrounding him was a set of cameras that was connected to a video feed. On the giant monitors of the stadium, a livestream of their battle was playing with a chat flowing from down to up with excited comments.\n\nAs the stadium grew into inky darkness, Luxio couldn't help but straighten up. \"An eerie darkness? A shiver & change of temperature? Why, that sounds like a Ghost-Type!\" He exclaims, playing it up for the camera. He throws his ball out to reveal a Rotom-Wash, surveying the area for any Pokémon that might try to pop out."

You're looking for a show?\" He asks, his hands shifting into his pockets, titling his head to the left; his eyes looking him up and down. \"Alright..\" He hummed, \"Let us give you a show.\" His arm swiftly swung out of his pocket, cutting through the air, his finger pointing forwards at the washing machine. \"Shadow Sneak, Gengar.\"\n\nLuxio was right. It was a Ghost-Type! But where was it? Gengar had to ability to cloak itself anywhere in the inky blackness that drowned the surrounding area. As their heads pivoted around the room in search of the incoming attack, a pair of large, evil eyes slowly opened WITHIN the dark shadow of the Rotom-Wash. The Pokemon.. Was inside of it's shadow as it searched the room... It lashed out of the shadow in a whoosh, a surprise attack, it's fist slamming down towards the side of the Electric-Water type."

Use Phantom Force!\" Quincy scolded, shouting out the demand. \n\nGengar nodded, cackling out, it's fist slammed together.

Once again Gengar was gone.\n\nThen without seconds hesitation, Gengar erupted from Rotom's side, slamming the hard hitting ghost type attack on top of its body.

A bit empty as of late, so a trainer from a wayward region decided to occupy the area for the day, training up with his Pokemon. Most notable of these is his partner Infernape, who he was, oddly enough, sparring with. Of course, it was more hand-to-hand combat rather than an outright unfair matchup.\n\nThe odd man seemed to adapt to Infernape's unique style of fighting, while not as agile or prehensile, he kept up. After a few moments, they'd decide to take a quick break, sitting down and enjoying some berries.\n\nThe day was slow, not much to do. Zoro planned to organize an event!...Of course, he needed to get in touch with the island's owner to make it all official, but just thinking about it got him pumped! An all out tourney of Champion v Champion! If the strongest of the strong were on the island, may as well appreciate the opportunity! But first? A fair bit of training for him.

It's nice to meet you too, Cam.\" The name 'Cam' does jog his memory a bit. Wasn't Eden on a phone call with him when that dark-colored Mewtwo was transferred over? \"Oh, right. You're the one that sent that Mewtwo to Eden,\" He says simply. \"What's with that? How did he...?\" Wasn't Mewtwo a genetically engineered Pokémon? How would he have one? Unless..."

He'd gotten lost about six! \nMaybe it was because he was from a small town, and never had to worry about being lost. Or maybe it was because he was too anxious to ask for directions, but he'd been wandering like a lost soul for about an hour now. But it was the loud ruckus of a Pokemon battle that drew him to the stadium. Though he had little intention on battling everyone, finding a quiet place to tuck himself away had been a bust, so might as well watch the battle. \nAllister found his seat, a little closer to every else than he prefered, but moving now would look weird... He guessed. Turns out, Champion Leon was here. As well as a kid who he didn't recognize. Strange... But perhaps it wasn't. What would be strange was if anyone were to look over and notice the mask wearing child staring at them..."

Sticks. She soon had a bundle under her arm and then kept walking, needing to get more even though she already had a about ten! She looked up to her friend, wondering if he could see any good ones in the trees.\n\nHe stopped her and then looked over to a tree. He didn't notice anything so far, but there had to be loose branches in there. The two got walked over and Golisopod took hold of it before shaking it. The trunk was think and yet the Pokemon seemed to shake it like it was made of jelly. Riolu cheered on. Her friend was so strong!! She had to brush off the leaves that came down. Wait... Did she see something in the tree? Maybe Golisopod shouldn't be shaking the tree *That* Hard. She happened to look back and noticed they had some followers. Who were they? She looked down at them as if she was asking *'are you following us? Why?'* And yet, there was a glint of curiosity in her eyes. \n\n\"Wonderin' if Miss Irsia's doing anything around here! She'd be fun to talk to.\" Samu spoke to himself as he took out his phone. There was a bench that was only a few steps away and yet, he plopped himself onto the ground and peered down at his phone."

Probably wasn't working considering a park wasn't the environment for either of these Pokémon to appear naturally in. ~~At least I *Think* They aren't-~~\nAnyway, when the big water and bug type began to shake the tree that their trainer happened to be in, they both began to panic quite a bit. The Klefki began too shake it's keys *Menacingly* (because that's literally it's way of intimidating people. No joke. I'm 99% sure it's in one or more of it's Pokédex entries) whilst the Salandit squeaked nervously and scittered behind a shrub, shaking in fear.\n\nMeanwhile, Makoto found that the tree was now being shook quite vigirously and peered down a little, noticing the same Golisopod from before.\n\n\"Ah, an attack! Fear not my dark knights of destruction, they cannot make us fall to them this easily!\"\n\nThe dark haired male said in a rather confident tone, which soon wavered as his Whimsicott lost it's balance and fell down from the tree. Not wasting a single moment, he jumped down and grabbed it as gently as he could, holding the Pokémon close to his chest as they both fell down. He landed on his back with a thud and a muffled yelp, soon some more Pokémon falling onto him. A Raichu, a Surskit and a Jolteon all landed ontop of him, looking at their trainer curiously and cheking if he was alright. And of course, many sticks fell down from the tree, some directly ontop of Makoto and his Pokémon.\n\n\"Ugh... How humiliating... But glad you're alright..\""

He gazed down at the small group before looking around. He needed to know where Samu was in case this group tried to attack them. \n\nRiolu was having a blast collecting all of the stick that scattered across the ground. She had more than enough to play the game. It was time to go; oh wait! She dropped her sticks, her curiosity now piqued as the group of Pokemon increased, and even added a human, Seeing how they looked over him made her wonder if he was their trainer. \n\nSamu looked up and around after hearing a voice. It sounded like someone fell! \"Oi, where's ya go?!\" He yelled. Was it one of his Pokemon?! \"Don't move, I'm comin' for ya!\" It took a couple of tries to get back on his feet but he did it. Then he moved as quickly as he could over to them. His limp wasn't helping but he wasn't bothered by it at this point. \"Huh... Hey!! Did *You* Fall down?\" He tried not to laugh, but the man did look a little silly down there. \"Lemme help ya up! Let's just hope I don't end up down on the ground with ya! Heh.\" He didn't think staring was polite, but he couldn't help but notice how... Different the man looked! *Almost like himself.*"

I'd never have met Ariados, Masquerain or Ribombee. Though I probably woulda caught the same species anyway. Maybe I'd've finally got around to havin' a Vikavolt too.\" He remembered when he met each one of his team vividly. Ariados, hanging out in the corner of his room in Po Town, a little Spinarak spinning a web above the door. Masquerain, a Surskit living in the pond he'd made out of the old pool beside the shady house. And of course Ribombee, the little Cutiefly that made a nest in his hair at his lowest point and refused to leave. \n\n\"Ain't no use in lookin' back, though. We gotta... Look forward an' see what we *Can* Do. An' always make sure to listen to the winds of change. Not spend years blockin' em out, like I did.\""

One leg bounced slightly, and his free arm was crossed over his torso to form a subconscious barrier between him and everything else. \n\nPerhaps not the most flattering analogy, but he felt like it fit. That's the state his mind was in right now, and had been for the last few years. He wasn't any better than that, and *She* Was the one who'd made him feel that way. Like he was nothing once he'd outlived his use. Just something to be avoided with a look of disgust. Just as well he was too numb about it to cry about it at this point. \n\n\"...You good?\" He asked, glancing over at them when he realised they'd been quiet for a minute. \"You look like you're gonna cry.\""

Offer comfort? How could he do that when he had no idea what they'd been through? A hug? Awkward as fuck - he wasn't big into physical contact. Not the kind that involved clothes, anyway. Hugging him would be like hugging a brick wall. \n\nLuckily it seemed like Ribombee had his back at least, making up a Pollen Puff and offering it to Agnes with a quiet *'bom'*. Maybe a sweet snack would help? At least with them being from Alola he probably wouldn't have to explain that you were supposed to eat them. Apparently nobody else seemed to get that. \n\n\"Don't worry about it... Least you still got it in you to feel, huh? Means there's still hope for you.

What the heck did I do to get invited here? \"*\n\nBalthazar muttered to himself before shaking his head upon realizing that his sentence came out a bit wrong, thinking that he sounded like he was ungrateful to be given this opportunity. He continues to stroll around the park at a slow pace, glancing at his Pokémon every now and then to make sure none of them cause anyone any sort of inconvenience. Especially Klaus, his Aegislash with a hot-blooded personality who often starts up fights with other Pokémon. His Lilligant, Kriemhild, is always accompanying him to make sure he doesn't start another riot.\n\nBetter hope that Aegislash didn't bring his troublemaker antics along with him in this vacation."
