Cecil gasped in surprise when he saw aipom pop out of the ground, without his sandshrew following suit. "Pardon? Warden? Quoi? Où?" Cecil said, flustered, before realizing his tongue slipped. "Err... I mean, Warden? What happened?" Cecil clarified, before planting his palm to his face. "Wait, what am I even saying? He can't hear my question down there, anyway."

 

The sandshrew, however, was distraught when his attack missed. He stood there in his tunnel, all alone. He knew he didn't stand much of a chance against the more agile aipom above ground. His own wounds were starting to get to him, as well, with his adrenaline fading. The ringing in his ears hadn't stopped either, and overall Warden was feeling quite sorry for itself.

 

Had I let down my trainer? Was I not good enough? Why can't I just sleep now? These are the thoughts that would run through its mind, had it a less primitive intellect. Instead, it just felt bad... real bad, and just wanted to curl into a ball and not worry about the consequences.

 

But, a voice rang through its head, through the ringing and the splitting of its headache. Its timbre sounded as clear as day, but the sandshrew couldn't make out any words or commands. It was his trainer, the sandshrew recognized. But it was a warmer tone than typical, a voice that conveyed confidence and hope. The sandshrew didn't pause to consider the very real possibility that it might just be its own delusion, but it was exactly the kind of thing the sandshrew needed to hear to keep on fighting.

 

Warden looked up towards where the surface would be, a determined scowl upon its face. It felt an unfamiliar energy coursing through its body, as if though he was stronger than before. That this might not just be a feeble second wind, but a forceful growth that could gain him the upper hand.

 

His body started to change: his foreclaws elongated. the hide on his back hardened and protruded out in spikes, and his face elongated slightly as his body grew outward. He looked at his new claws, and uttered softly, "-slash." Wasting no time to familiarize itself further with its changed body, the sandslash burrowed upward at a speed greater than what he was able to accomplish before. When he broke through the surface beneath his opponent, he splayed out his leading claw and attempted to crush the aipom.

 

((And now Warden has evolved. His Fury Swipes move has been replaced with Crush Claw, a move sandslashes learn immediately in Gen 6.))

Lurele had watched stunned as this new trainer fought off the man who had been in the process of robbing her. Riolu quickly scooped up Torchic's Pokeball and rushed back to Lurele to climbed into her lap where she was still sitting after having been tossed to the ground.

 

As the man left and the other trainer started to approach her, Lurele seemed to snap back into reality.  She politely holds up a finger to ask her rescuer to wait, pressing the button on Torchic's Pokeball.  With a flash of light the little fire type was on the ground in front of her, and Lurele quickly scooped up both of her Pokemon in a sudden hug.  "Oh thank Arceus you two are alright!  I don't know what I would do if I lost you...  I...  I'm sorry!  I promise I'll get stronger so I can protect you!"  

 

Her Torchic seemed confused, since she'd been in her Pokeball the entire time, chirping a couple times to try and cheer up her trainer.  Her Riolu looked embarrassed, reaching up to wipe the tears off of Lurele's cheek before quietly muttering "Lu?" and pointing at the trainer who'd rescued them.  Nodding a couple times, Lurele sets her Pokemon down so she can stand up and turn to the girl.

 

Reaching up to wipe the tears out of her eyes with the back of her hand, Lurele starts to smile as she steps closer to her rescuer.  "I...  I mean, we're fine...  Thanks to you anyways.  Thank you so much!  What...  What was all of that about?"  She pauses for a moment before adding "I'm Lurele, by the way...  Can I know what my hero's name is?"

Aipom cried out in pain at Sandslash's attack, quickly freeing herself, and bounding backwards. Panting, Aipom couldn't take much more of this. "Ah. This is an interesting change of events, isn't it?" Cheren thought aloud. "Use Swift, Aipom." Aipom fired a few stars at Sandslash, but didn't really look to be putting it's all into it. They had lost the fight, with no way of recovery.

The girl blushed slightly at the other trainer's question. She didn't mind compliments, but had never been really good at receiving them. "Oh. I'm Stella." She said, pushing a wisp of hair behind her ear. "As for what that was all about... If you haven't noticed, Unova's been pretty out of whack as of late. I'm sure you were told about the insane followers of Zekrom and Reshiram when you got here, right?" Stella began, glancing around to make sure there wasn't anyone else around. "What they didn't tell you is that there's three groups following all three legendaries of the Tao trio. That was a follower of the third one, Kyurem. Or at least, that's what his outfit would suggest." 

 

Stella shook her head, obviously not enjoying the subject at hand, and therefore attempted to change it. She peered down at Lurele's two pokemon. "Hm. Are you a fan of fighting types, perhaps?" Stella asked, curiously, then summoned the pokemon she had used before. "No offense, but no one beats this guy. Even if he refuses to use ranged attacks."

Cecil quickly removed his hand from his face when he pokemon burst through the ground. "Warden?" He pulled out his pokedex and registered the data on his newly evolved sandslash, reading over the details of its new capabilities. "So, you've done it, then? You've finally evolved, " he said quietly in genuine surprise, but he soon realized such a statement was not at all acceptable to his sensibilities. He perked up his head and flourished his arms triumphantly, "yes, all according to plan. Great job, Warden!"

 

The sandslash nodded in appreciation of his trainer's acknowledgement, but swiftly turned back to the aipom. He was hit by a small spatter of stars, but they hardly even slowed him down as he proceeded to rush towards the aipom. "Now, one final attack! Crush Claw!" Cecil commanded, dramatically gesturing as if though he was directing a firing squad. "Slash!"

Let's- Clarion!" Locke chucked a Pokeball at Sentret and quickly fished the tiny Phantump out of his pocket. Locke wasn't too worried about the Sentret. The only way it would break free in this state would be if it was particularly strong willed. If or when Locke did catch it, he was going to take it back to Aspertia quickly to heal it up before continuing on his journey to the next city. Hopefully there would be a gym there!

"Bah there are other water types in Unova anyway." She said as she walked further down Route 19. Cilla soon noticed a Swablu perched on a tree looking rather lost and confused. "Swablu? Don't see many of those around this part of Unova." She said walking up to it. "Hey there little one are you lost?" Cilla asked in a gentle tone. "Would you perhaps like a berry? I found the most wonderful Sitru-" As she looked through her bag for the berry Espeon alerted Cilla to the Glameow about to attack the lone Swablu. "Not while I'm here..."

Espeon did as such and aimed a Confusion attack at Glameow which would cause the cat to be launched away from the tree Swablu was resting on, allowing Espeon to fight the Glameow without worrying about Swablu.

Lurele nods her head happily, calling after Stella "Thank you again!"  She quickly moves out of the alley to a better lit area, taking off her pack to carefully place the Pokemon Egg inside.  After making sure it was nice and cozy with her extra clothes packed around it, she smiles and puts her pack back on before turning to stare at her Riolu and Torchic.

 

"...I should have asked her for directions to the Gym."  Her Riolu sighs and covers his face with his palm, glancing down at the ground.  Chuckling quietly, Lurele fishes out their Pokeballs before pointing one at each of them.  "Come on you two...  I don't want to risk someone trying to steal you again, I'm keeping you close."  Riolu opened his mouth like he was going to protest, but a flash of red light stopped him as both Pokemon were withdrawn to their respective Pokeballs.

 

It's going to be tough getting anywhere without Rio out to help me find it...  But I just can't risk losing him!  Sorry buddy, I'll take you back out when I know we're safe again.  Sighing sadly, Lurele turns to walk further in the wrong direction, into the Viribank Complex...  This time making sure to stay in the well-lit streets.

Cecil stepped out of the pokecenter, and summoned his growlithe out now that it was fully healed. "Grow! Lithe! Lithe!" the pokemon barked happily, before his eye caught the sight of an unfamiliar face. "Grrrr...", Scout warned this unfamiliar pokemon, but then a familiar scent wafted past his nose. "Lithe!" the growlithe piped in recognition, and proceeded to bound towards the sandslash and lick it.

 

Cecil looked on in mild bemusement at his pokemon's antics, but then turned his attention towards the city exit. "Right! We're on our way now! The gym's here in Unova are for more elegant then the one's back home. Just walk in, fight, walk out. None of that silly roller-blading, rock climbing, quizzical nonsense. I must take this opportunity to claim the title of champion, that I know I deserve."

 

"Come along, now, you two. It's time we left this city." His pokemon both voiced their agreement. The three proceeded onto Route 19, where Cecil casually observed a trainer catch a pokemon. He took note of the other wild pokemon in the area, but wasn't interested in any of them. Further along, he noticed a girl with an espeon engaging a glameow. He dallied no longer, though, and instead proceeded to the next town, "This place sure is dull..." Cecil thought in mild annoyance, "though, I suppose the air is rather nice here. I guess it has that going for it."

 

The trio proceeded through Route 20, still nothing grabbing Cecil's attention. Occasionally, Scout would bark at a wild pokemon he saw, but it wasn't ever something Cecil cared to bother with.

 

They arrived in Viribank City with little fanfare. "This place... is disgusting," Cecil mused. He looked at his two pokemon out and about, "you two shouldn't be wandering around in a shady place like this. especially you, Scout, who know's were you might run off to." His pokemon both gave him looks of disappointment, but they acquiesced  to his point and dutifully returned to their pokeballs.

 

"Now then... where to?" he thought, looking about the place. He set off in a random direction, but careful to avoid any alleys.

Tempest smirked, as he felt a rush of adrenaline course through his body. "I guess it's time to fan the flames. Cynder, standby." He said.

 

Cynder growled slightly and leaped into the air. She then landed gracefully onto the battle arena.

 

Tempest glanced at his Pokemon, before deciding on a plan. "Use attract to distract that bird." He said, his voice remaining calm.

 

Cynder glanced at the Rufflet and winked, firing several hearts in the process. "Fen. Fenekin." She said, slyly.

"Dodge it using Aerial Ace." Cheren commanded. Rufflet flew back a bit, as to be able to avoid the hearts, then flew left at blinding speeds. Rufflet then made a u-turn while using the attack, hitting Fennekin.

- Virbank Complex -

Virbank Complex looked no better than the rest of Virbank City. However, there were at least wild pokemon about. A Growlithe slept in the middle of a grassy patch. A Magby looked to be poking at something in the water. A Finneon could also be seen in the water, but it wasn't what Magby was poking at. A Koffing and Elekid looked to be fighting over something. A Croagunk was surveying the area. A few construction workers were about as well, but those weren't nearly as fun to catch.

Cecil ended up in the Virbank Complex. There was another girl there, one with bright red hair, as well as a few construction workers. Any one of them might know where the gym was. However, the construction workers seemed busy. The girl? Not so much.

Cynder was thrown off balance by the attack, but managed to stay standing.

 

Tempest glanced at the Rufflet, as a new plan formed. "That bird's fast." He thought, before turning to Cynder. "Use Flame Charge followed by attract."

 

Cynder nodded, and ran towards the Rufflet as flames surrounded her body. She then leaped into the air and used attract when she was in front of Rufflet. It would be very hard for the bird to dodge one attack and not be hit by the other due to the close proximity.

((three pokemon, eh? I think I have an idea of who I might want, then...)) 

 

Cecil stepped into the Viribank Complex and looked about. He figured the construction workers would know where the gym would be, but something else caught his eye. He brought out his pokedex to identify it, "a coagunk, huh?" Cecil smirked, "now that is more my style."

 

He saw that there was another trainer in the complex, a girl with bright red hair. "Wait, I think I've seen her before. Wasn't she late in picking up her pokedex? If I remember correctly, she had a riolu..." Cecil shook his head, resolving to deal with her only after he had caught the croagunk.

 

Cecil walked closer to the surveying croagunk, and summoned his sandslash. The pokemon did a flourish at its entrance, sharpening its claws against one another and exclaiming "Slash!"

 

"Yes, perfect, just as we had gone over. I can't just have you summoned onto the battlefield in a boring fashion, after all"

 

"Alright, Warden! Dig under that croagunk, and follow it up with a Crush Claw." The sandslash obeyed, and dug downwards. The concrete was tough, and had he still been a sandshrew, he might not have been able to pierce it.

Tiana nodded.  "Of course.  Sasha doesn't really know any super-destructive moves, anyway, so we should be fine right here."  Sasha's shoulders hunched over and she bared her fangs, waiting for her trainer to issue the first command.  Comet's Snivy was using Growth, which Tiana thinks makes a Pokemon stronger...if she was remembering correctly.

((Whelp, looks like Lurele won't be challenging Roxxie either, lol.))

 

Looking around at the wild Pokemon, Lurele hadn't seen anything even remotely interesting to her until she'd laid her eyes on the Croagunk.  Oh!  I didn't know those showed up around here!  Let's see...  If I use Rio, a fight is guaranteed to happen...  I don't want to just battle something I want to add to my team though, it would be better if we could befriend it.  So maybe...  Yet as her hand started to reach for Torchic's Pokeball, another trainer had suddenly sent a Sandslash after the Croagunk.

 

"Aww..."  A look of disappointment crossed Lurele's face as her hand drops back to her side.  She shoots a glance towards the other trainer, vaguely recognizing him as one of the foreign trainers she'd seen in Asperita before she'd picked up her Pokedex, then glances away.  Technically she could have interfered and tried for the Croagunk herself...  But that would have been incredibly rude, and there had to be some kind of code for trainers to go by...  After nearly getting robbed just a short while ago, she wasn't about to go and try something that others might consider close to the same lines.

 

There was nothing else at the Complex she was interested in, so sighing loudly she turns to leave, not sparing the other trainer a second look.  "C'mon guys, I don't like this city...  Let's just go challenge Burgh."  Her Pokemon were still in their Pokeballs, but she liked to think they could still hear her.  "Guess we should just go try and find a boat to Castelia...  The sooner we can get away from all these other trainers the better it seems."  Walking back north, Lurele's plan was to try and find her way to the docks to book passage on a ship.  Assuming she didn't get lost on the way, at least.

Locke laughed happily at the click of the Pokeball. "Ace! We got our third member! Let's keep... Oh wait she's really hurt. And I'm not sure how far the next city is. Let's just go back to Aspertia real quick." Locke hurried back towards the city, healed up Revvy and his new Sentret, and went back onto the route, still completely oblivious to the gym there. He saw a girl on his way to the city, and when he saw her again on his way back, he gave her a short wave as he continued on to the next city. Locke had returned Revvy to his Pokeball, and had let out Sentret. She seemed slightly out of it, having just been so abruptly frightened and then captured. "I think I'm gonna call you Vera, for a somewhat complicated reason." Vera seemed to relax a bit at having a unique name to herself. Not a lot of trainers did something like that, from what she could tell. Locke smiled at this and continued walking, straight through the uninteresting Floccesy Town and onto Route 20. He didn't particularly want to catch a new Pokemon so soon, but he still made his way slowly through the Route on his way to Virbank City.
