Chapter II: The Road To Petalburg City, And A New Friend, Wally! As soon as I get to Route 101, May calls me. Maybe now you'll want to come along with me! She shows up, and says that she has something for me from her dad. She says that he forgot to give it to me before. She updates my PokeNav Plus, and gives me the DexNav function! She tells me that it can tell me lots about the Pokemon living in each area and that kind of stuff. She also says it's a handy app to have if I'm trying to catch lots of different Pokemon. She then tells me that it's time she uses the DexNav to do some more Pokemon catching herself. She tells me that I should use those balls she gave me earlier to do a bit of catching too. Yeah, catching you, that's for sure~ She runs off, and I follow her. When I follow her, she tells me to come over to her, as she shows me a Poochyena's tail sticking out of the tall grass. She tells me that there's a Pokemon hiding there! She also tells me that if I check my DexNav, I can find more information about it. She says that it knows a pretty rare move, too! She tells me that I should try getting closer, real nice and slow! Sheesh, May, you sound like you want the thing so badly. Why don't YOU catch it? Oh well, more fun for me! She tells me to push lightly on the Circle Pad to sneak close to Pokemon hiding in the grass, which is what it said in a book she read. We sneak slowly, and she says that we're almost there. She tells me, "Slowly...slooowly..." Dang, girl, are you usually this excited? Sheesh! She tells me to press lightly on the Circle Pad to sneak. I sneak slowly to the Poochyena, and manage to battle it! I weaken it a little bit, but then throw a Pokeball at it. I catch it on the first try! I name it Wolfgang, as in Wolfgang Mozart, and look for more Pokemon to catch. After I catch Wolfgang, I decide to do the Beldum event. So I do, and I get a Shiny Beldum (Which is SO MUCH EASIER than Reborn...) I then head to Route 102, and I battle a few trainers. I even catch some new Pokemon, and give them all nicknames. As soon as I beat all of the trainers, I continue my quest. However, as I try to continue, May walks up to me from behind and says hey. She asks me how's it going, and asks me if I have been using my DexNav and perfecting my sneaking skills. I tell her that I have, and she says that she hopes I already checked out the DexNav's Detector Mode. I did that when a bunch of Wingull were flying around, so it's okay. She tells me that it reacts to Pokemon in the area, so it's really handy. We then hear a rustling in the bushes, and May then shows me something up in the trees. Just then, three Beautifly fly out from the trees, and fly away. ANOTHER romantic moment... May then says that she'll have to check in her DexNav later to be sure. She's also surprised we already made it through Route 102, and says that it's really true that time flies when you're with a friend. She is shocked that we are at Petalburg already, and she asks me if my dad is the Gym Leader in Petalburg City. I tell her that he is, and she says that maybe she should try to take him on herself, once she trains up her Pokemon a bit more. She then says that she's off, and says that we should meet up again sometime. She then leaves for Petalburg City, and I follow her. As soon as I get to Petalburg City, I heal my Pokemon at the Pokemon Center. I then head to the gym, where I find my dad, Norman! He speaks to a challenger, who just lost. He tells the kid to come back and challenge him again sometime, and says that he'll be looking forward to seeing him and his Pokemon again when he's a bit stronger. The young lad thanks him, and promises that he will do special training with his Pokemon. Then, he'll challenge this gym again. He thanks him for the battle, and leaves. I show up, and Norman is happy to see me. He asks me if I've finished moving in, and I say that I have. He gets silent for a moment, and says that we shouldn't stand around out here talking. He asks me if I want to come in for a bit, and says that we can talk in the gym. We head inside the gym, and he says that he was surprised that I managed to get here by myself. He sees my Pokemon, and says that I'm making a good start on my team. He confirms that I'm going to be a Trainer like him, and he says that's something to look forward to. Just then, somebody comes in and meekly says that he'd like to get a Pokemon. The young boy comes closer, and he is a boy with green hair and he looks like he has pajamas. Norman is surprised to see him, and asks if the boy is Wally. The boy confirms this, and says that he's supposed to go stay with his relatives in Verdanturf Town for a while. However, he thought he might be lonely by himself, so he wanted to bring a Pokemon with him. Unfortunately, he's never caught a Pokemon by himself. He gets self-conscious, and says that he's not sure if he can. Norman turns to me, and asks me if I heard all that. He tells me to go with Wally, and make sure that he safely catches a Pokemon. He then lends Wally his Zigzagoon. Wally gets excited, and Norman gives him a Pokeball too. Wally thanks him, and he asks me if I will come with him. We then head out to Route 102. When we head out to Route 102, Wally asks me if it's okay to go in the grass. He goes in the grass, and he tells me to stay there to watch and see if he can catch one properly. A moment later, he jumps, and encounters a Ralts. A LEVEL 5 RALTS. I wish I could find one of those without having to chain... He weakens Ralts with Zigzagoon, and then throws one of his 15 Pokeballs at it. I THOUGHT NORMAN ONLY GAVE HIM ONE... Just then, Wally catches Ralts with one try. He is overjoyed to have his own Pokemon, and he thanks me. We head back to the gym, and Norman asks if it went well. Wally says that it did go well, and gives Norman his Zigzagoon back. He then turns to me, and thanks me. He says that it was all thanks to us that he was able to catch his very own Ralts. He then says that he will always, always treasure it. He then gets an idea, and tells me to give him my PokeNav Plus for a second. I give it to him, and he updates it! It means that I can now use the PlayNav features on the PokeNav Plus! Wally tells me that he read in a book how people can use the PlayNav to take care of your Pokemon and train them. He says that there's even supposed to be this thing called the PSS, where you can meet up with other Trainers and battle friends and more. He says that he's wanted to have his own Pokemon for so long... and do all those kinda things together. Soooo, he's had all these kinds of apps installed on his PokeNav Plus for ages. Pretty embarrassing if you ask me... He then says that he's going to try his best together with Ralts. He tells me to do my best, too. He realizes that is mom's waiting for him, so he's got to get going. He hopes that we'll meet again, and even Norman. Wally leaves, and Norman says that Wally will be worth keeping an eye on. He then says that I want to become as strong as a Trainer, then I should listen to his advice. He tells me to first head for Rustboro City, which lies beyond this town. There, I should challenge the Gym Leader, Roxanne. After her, go on to the other Pokemon Gyms and defeat their Leaders as well. He tells me to collect badges from them, and I understand. He tells me that since he is a Gym Leader too, we will battle one day. However, that will only be after I've become stronger. I talk to him again, and he says that he doesn't get pleasure from battling greenhorn Trainers. He says that's no challenge. However, he wants me to grow much stronger before he would consider taking me on in battle. He tells me to come back when I've got at least four badges, and then he'll take me on. I head to the house next door of the gym, and find that it's none other than Wally's house! I head inside, and speak to his parents. His father thanks me for helping Wally out back there, and says that Wally has been sickly since the time he was born. That's why they decided to send him to stay with his brother's family in Verdanturf Town for a while. He says that the air is far cleaner there than it is around these parts. He sees that I'm looking for Wally, but it seems that he's already left. I wonder where he is... Wally's mother says that it's been ages since Wally's smiled... until now. After visiting Wally's parents, I head out to Route 104, where I begin my journey to Rustboro City. Time to get my first badge! Current Stats: Now there are a lot more members on my team. Some leveled up, while one of them was already at a strong level to begin with!

Chapter XLVI: The Big Top Striker And First Member Of The Agate Ace Triumvirate, Samson! When I get back to Agate Circus, I find the gym guy in the Big Top, and he tells me that Flying Types are a HUGE advantage here, and to watch out for Samson's Conkeldurr. I head into the back room, and find everyone there, including Terra, who came back. I talk to her, and she just flirts with me. Ciel tells her to refrain from flirting with their guests, and Terra says that Ciel is jelly. Ciel denies that she is jealous, and asks Terra how she would be jealous. Terra then bluntly states that Ciel wants the D, which Ciel reminds her that she doesn't even have a D. Samson asks Ciel how she would know for sure, and she asks what he's implying. Terra then oddly walks over to Ciel, and tells her that he isn't implying anything. She says that we all know what happens when someone implies, and she just trolls. Ciel asks her if she has work to do, and Terra says that she does as she spins around behind Ciel. She tells Ciel to bend over so she can do her. And this is work... how? Ciel says that it's abhorrent, and Terra replies with a yo momma joke. Ciel asks her if she even knows what that word means, and Terra says that it means "RAWR!!!" Ciel tells her that it doesn't mean that, and Terra says that she is just salty, saying that if you make a pretzel out of her, that's how salty she is. She then states that she wants a pretzel, which seems to be her weakness as she walks back to her computers in defeat. Samson even says that pretzels are apparently Terra's weakness, and says that he'll be sure to keep a stock on him at all times. I talk to Ciel, and she asks Terra if she has been able to find the source of the signal over Agate yet, for she's quite anxious to stop whatever it is putting people to sleep. She says that people should be watching them, not sleeping! Terra tells her to calm down, for she is a super hacker, and that nothing can escape her booty. Ciel says that it's taken so long already though, and Terra screams at her, telling her to calm down. She even tells her to undo the kalamity that is her mammaries, and to hakuna her tatas. Seriously, I still find her funny sometimes. Samson tells her to stop, for he can feel his brain cells dying off one by one. Ciel says that Terra is cruel to rob him of his few remaining ones, which Samson says that they have no need to put their cat fight on him, for he is innocent here. Terra tells him that he wasn't so innocent last night, and Samson asks her how she would know. Terra then says that they were all up on each other. *shudders* Samson then remembers that it was Position 52: The Angry Dinosaur, but shrugs it off. Terra even says that that's her second favorite position. Ciel asks if she should know what the first is, and Terra tells her that if she wants to know, she's going to have to 'change'. Ciel says that we don't need a demonstration, and Samson tells them to go right ahead, as he thinks it would be highly... informative. Ciel denies this, and apologizes that she even asked. Terra says that if she tells her, then Aya over on the couch is going to run out of the room because she isn't going to want to be near the couch anymore. Ciel makes a mental note to herself, saying to order a new couch... AGAIN. I talk to Hardy, and he thanks me for getting him before. He apologizes that I had to deal with his sister, and says that she's always been kinda intense. He says that personally, he was ready to take any excuse to roll on outta there. Cain gets in the conversation, and asks him if his sister is a brat too, which Aya says that she's sitting right there. Hardy puts it this way: Whenever Titania is around, he gets the feeling she's about to pull out a knife and shank someone. Cain agrees, and says that sounds like Aya. Aya denies this, and Hardy says that she's cool, telling him to be nice to her. Cain says that he isn't going to make promises on that, and Cain and Aya go into a barrage of insults toward each other until Cain says that he loves her, which she replies it back to him, too. I talk to Aya, and she wonders that since Agate City is closed, what should we do now? Hardy says that there's some crazy stuff going on in Calcenon, so he's going to go check it out... Once his body stops aching. He says that he feels like he got run over by a pack of Bouffalant. However, Cain tells him that Terra treated him like a croquet ball, and is surprised that they even survived... Aya asks him if he's disappointed, and Cain replies with maybe. Hardy says that it's going to take more than that to break them down, and he asks Aya if she was hurt too. Aya says that her head feels like a Probopass sat on it. Cain says that Terra almost flattened him, too, and not in the good way. Hardy says that he hopes it wasn't in a good way, and asks Cain if she's a bit old for him. Aya asks how old Terra is, and Cain says that he doesn't know, but she acts like she's six. However, Terra overhears this, and yells at them, saying she isn't six, calling them hooligans. Cain is surprised she can hear them, and Terra tells them to get rawr'd. I talk to Cain, and he asks Hardy what he does besides running his gym. Hardy answers Cain's question by saying that he does music, mostly, and he spends a lot of time playing guitar. Aya even states that Hardy plays really well. Cain tells Hardy that he's impressed even Aya... Which means that Hardy has done what Cain has failed to do for seventeen years. Aya tells Cain that she's seventeen, not him. Cain says that he's sure she wasn't impressed before he was born, either. Hardy asks him what he does, and he answers Hardy's question by saying that he likes singing more than any instrument. Aya says that this is only to terrorize her, but he digresses. Hardy then gets an idea, and says that if they had a drummer and a bassist, they could have their own band. Aya flutters, and says that would be kinda cool... Cain asks Hardy if he knows anyone who suits the bill, and Hardy says that he doesn't. However, he says that Titania used to play the bass, but... He doesn't hate himself enough to bring her in on this. I finally talk to Samson, who asks me if I want to challenge him. He denies my request, because the Ringmaster's a real stickler about her policies. Anyone who wants to battle has to have a Battle Pass. However, I show him my Battle Pass-Fury, and he says he'll have them prepare the front. He tells me to let him know when I'm ready, and so I tell him I'm ready. We head out to the field, and get ready for the showdown. When we head out to the Big Top, the crowd is packed, and everyone is hyped up. The Ringmaster begins the show, and calls for everyone's attention as the exciting exclusive challenge to the esteemed Agate Ace Triumviarte of leaders is about to begin! Today, in the left corner, we have a first-time challenger to Agate... Me!!! And in the right corner-- we've seen him at the striker, busting bells into the sky... We've seen him in the Big Top, juggling people as if they could fly... And now everyone's gonna see him on the center stage as he shows them what power REALLY means... He's the Agate Circus-- Strongman-- Samson!!! Everyone cheers for Samson, and Samson greets everyone. The Ringmaster goes over the rules, as this will be a 6-on-6 Singles Battle! We're playing on a whole new field, and in this field, Fighting attacks and any other attacks capable of activating the panels on the ground earn a score on the Big Top Striker! A high enough score will generate energy to add an extra oomph the attacks! Let's see how we'll use this to our advantage. Samson is pumped, and wants to see an all-in knock out. Get wrecked, Samson! I already know how to deal with Fighting types, so you're pretty much defeated already! Strongman Samson sends out Hariyama, while I send out Charles. Charles tries knocking Hariyama down with Wing Attack, but gets beaten down by Hariyama's Knock Off and Smack Down. I send out Amelia, who ends up knocking down Hariyama with Psychic. Samson sends out Mienshao, who poisons Amelia with Poison Jab, but Amelia wipes out Mienshao with Psychic. Samson sends out Blaziken, who falls down from Amelia's Psychic attack. Samson sends out Chesnaught, who also falls from Amelia's Psychic attack. However, since Amelia is about to go down from poison, I quickly switch her out with Hydra as Samson sends out Conkeldurr. Hydra uses Dragon Dance, while Conkeldurr uses Drain Punch. Hydra then proceeds to use Aqua Tail, while Conkeldurr uses Knock Off and Mach Punch. Once Conkeldurr's health is half-way, Samson heals it with a Hyper Potion, but then after another Aqua Tail, Conkeldurr is down. However, Samson is not down for the count just yet! He sends out Hawlucha, who doesn't go down so easily. Hawlucha manages to knock out Hydra with Fly. I wish I had Fly... I send out Persian, who easily goes down from Flying Press. I send out Corey, and manage to poison Hawlucha with Poison Jab, and eventually with the help of the poison, Hawlucha goes down.With Samson's team taken down, I win the battle! Samson states that this isn't the worst thing that he's lost. Everyone cheers, as the Ringmaster proudly announces that I'm the victor. Samson says that he was chewed up and spit out, and bids me good game. The Ringmaster announces that I will receive one brand new Fury Badge! Samson gives me the Fury Badge, and the Ringmaster states that the Fury Badge grants me the ability to use HM Surf, as well as a slight boost in physical attack to all my Pokemon. But that's not all I win! I also win TM31 Brick Break! The Ringmaster also announces that if any of us are itching to challenge Samson or their other leaders of the Agate Ace Triumvirate... Then find those Battle Passes! She thanks everyone for coming out to see the show, and we all go into the back room. Once we make it into the back room, the Ringmaster says that it was a good show, and that they made a killing. She tells me that she's impressed at how I beat Samson like that, and hopes that I find passes to battle the other leaders, Terra and Ciel. Ciel says that Samson is their baby, though, and warns me that they won't be quite so easy. Terra turns around from her computers, and says that Ciel is totally easy, if I know what she means... She warns me that if I mess with her, though... She'll RAWWWWWRRR RAWWWR my RAWWWRRAWWRRAWWWR. I don't like the sounds of that... She continues by saying that she'll take her RAWWRR and shove it in my RAWWWR until I can't even RAAAWWWRR RRAWWWWRRAAWWRRR... Twice. Well THAT'S one way of saying that I shouldn't mess with you... *shudders* The Ringmaster says that she has parting words to do, so she'll leave Terra to do her rawring. The Ringmaster leaves, and Terra realizes something on the screen. I come closer, and Ciel asks if she finally traced the signal, and Terra tells us to hold on tight, for we've got news. Aya and Cain show up to pay attention, and Samson asks her what the news is. Terra announces that with her highly advanced super hacking skills, she has discovered something very important. Hardy asks her if she's going to tell us or not, and Terra concludes that she has discovered... That Ciel is wearing a thong. Really, Terra? REALLY? We need to stop Team Meteor, and you can only think of that? Sigh... Ciel is flustered, and runs over to the screen to see what Terra is looking at, and she finds that Terra is lying, as it doesn't say that at all. However, Terra tells her that she didn't deny it. Ciel tries to get back on track, and looks at the data point on the screen. She asks Terra what it is, and Terra gets off topic by calling the data point Timmy. She says that his hobbies include cross-stitching, motorbiking, and planting lizards in the knicker drawers of old ladies. Cain says that he likes Timmy, and Ciel snaps and asks her what the data MEANS. Unfortunately, Terra doesn't know, as she just hacked the broadcaster to get to it. She says that she isn't a statistician, but if she HAD to take a guess, she'd say the signal's RAWRIN' out from somewhere in Ametrine City. Samson asks if someone Ametrine City is broadcasting a signal over Agate City which puts them to sleep. Hardy says that someone needs to go up to Ametrine and stop that signal, pronto. Samson says that's gonna require surf, which means that I'm the top candidate. Cain decides that it's off to Ametrine City we go. Hardy says that he and Aya will head up to Calcenon when they can, so I should meet them there when I'm done at Ametrine. Cain tells me that he'll go as far with me as he can too. Terra says that Calcenon is more like Calceyawwwn, and asks what's going on up there. Hardy tells Terra that some of the other leaders are in a stand-off against Team Meteor, and that we're going to help out. She calls Team Meteor Team Metebore, and Aya asks her if she ever says something that isn't stupid. Terra continues, and she just rawrs away with her giant mallet. Ciel and Samson agree that Terra is something out of the Underworld, and Cain, Hardy, and Aya take off for Calcenon. After everyone's gone, I heal my Pokemon, and talk to Samson, who says that he'll enjoy the brief moment of solace in which Terra's gone, and not ask questions. He says that it's time for me to go get Surf. I talk to Ciel, who says that Ametrine City is very high up, so naturally it's freezing up there. She tells me to dress warmly, but not to dress too warmly that it looks bad, as there is a limit to these things. As I head out of the back room, I get a message saying that this concludes Episode XII. I can explore, but if I enter Amaria's house, the game will end. Once that is done, I head all the way to Amaria and Titania's house, and enjoy the trailer for Episode XIII. Don't worry, I'm on my way to Calcenon and Ametrine! Current Pokemon Stats Episode XII is done! Only a few Pokemon leveled up. Amelia and Hydra were useful in my battle against Samson.

Chapter XLV: The Search For Hardy, The Huge Fiore Mansion, Breaking News In Calcenon City, And The Sapphire Bracelet's Origins! When I get to Route 2, I find what appears to be a dead end. However, I stumble upon some rocks, and I seem to hop over them! I head down the lower path, and head left until I jump onto a cliff. I then hop over more rocks and find a huge valley of rocks. I eventually find a rock with steps on it, so I climb it, and hop over other rocks. As I hop over rocks, I find two mountains that look like they have caves, but they're not. I'll get back to those later. Eventually, I land on higher ground, and find another rock with steps. I climb it, and eventually find myself at a dead end. I go back to the huge land of rocks, and go right this time. I land on higher ground with grass, and find some trees. I find a red tree, which gives me Rage Powder for my Powder Vial, and I find a green tree, which gives me Sleep Powder for my Powder Vial. I also battle a hiker, who tells me that there are three mountains nearby: Ametrine, Celestinine, and Citrine. I beat him, and continue onward. I battle some clowns, and I head further. Apparently the clowns actually guide me. One even has a level 75 Goomy, which is a pain to beat. I then continue onward. and find some holes. I suddenly realize what the mountains are used for, so I go back to them, and find some Crustle. When I have the Sleep Powder, I knock them asleep, and push them into the holes. There are three Crustle nests at the top half of Route 2, and I push all of them in their holes. Two of them even build a path to Ametrine Mountain to Calcenon City! Once I head inside though, it's filled with water, so I'll have to wait until I get Surf. I head down to the bottom half of Route 2, and find a bigger land of rocks, and find a Crustle nest all the way to the east side, and a hole all the way on the left. I just push Crustle up and down as I go left. Once I push Crustle in the hole, I'm good to go! There are three more holes at the bottom, plus a cave. I push the Crustle into the two holes from right to left first, and then I push a Crustle into the third one. Once I cross the Crustle, I find myself in Celestinine Cascade. Once I make it to Celstinine Cascade, I climb up the mountainside, and eventually find a large mansion. I read the sign, and it says that it's Amy's and Tania's house. I then enter the mansion. When I enter Fiore Mansion, the place is a mess. I see Amaria on the couch, and she's surprised to see me because it's been so long. She's glad I'm here, because I can finally meet Titania. She calls for Titania, and Titania arrives. It's the same red-haired woman I met at Aventurine Woods! Amaria introduces me to her, and her to me. We've met... Titania comes closer, and takes a blue bra off of one of the couches. Well SOMEONE'S been having fun while they're injured... She apologizes for the mess, as they weren't expecting company. Amaria asks me what brings me up here, and I tell her that I'm looking for Hardy. Fortunately, she knows who Hardy is, and tells me that he's upstairs. She tells me that Titania found him on her way back when she asked her to go get her some cotton candy. When she carried him back, Amaria was like, 'Wow, that's some big cotton candy!' Titania tells me that he was sleeping face down in the dirt. She says that he was always a heavy sleeper, but this is a new low. Amaria tells me that if I want to see Hardy, he's upstairs. She starts to get up, but Titania tells her to take it stay, and that she'll take me upstairs. She tells her to rest, and she complies. Amaria reveals that she cracked a couple ribs after the incident with Solaris... But Titania takes good care of her. Titania shows me the way, and Amaria tells me that Titania may be a little distant, but she's really a sweetheart. I then head upstairs. I head upstairs, and find Hardy sleeping on the couch. Titania comes upstairs, and tells me to move. I move, and she gets close to him, only to slap him with Wake-Up Slap! Hardy wakes up, and groggily says that he's still tired. Titania is not amused, and she slaps him repeatedly! He finally gets up, and realizes that his sister woke him up. I figured they were siblings... He realizes that I'm there too, and Titania tells him that she found him sleeping on the ground. Hardy realizes where he is, and wonders where Aya is. I tell him that she's at the circus, and Titania wonders who Aya is. Hardy tells her that Aya's the new Poison Leader, and that he was taking her up to show her his gym, and he doesn't know what happened. Titania tells him that he sure knows how to treat a lady, and Hardy tells her to shove off, because it wasn't like that. I see what you did there, Tania... He wonders if Aya is okay, and says that he should find her. He gets up, and says that his whole body's sore for whatever reason, which is no surprise, based on how he slept. Hardy says that it's beats sleeping here, because he doesn't feel like bumming off of his sister longer than he has to. Titania agrees, and says that he can go, which he does just that. She then asks me if I'm going to follow him. I then follow him downstairs. When I get downstairs, I hear a breaking news report from Gossip Gardevoir. I head closer, and Titania comes downstairs to hear too. Gossip Gardevoir states that she's in Calcenon City with Dragon Leader Saphira where a sudden showdown has just taken form! She states that the cities of Calcenon and Labradorra sit right next to each other... but in a sudden uprising, Team Meteor has completely seized control of Labradorra City! Most citizens were safely evacuated, but some are still being held as hostages! However, a resistance is taking shape in Calcenon City on the part of some of Reborn's strongest trainer! Gardevoir asks Saphira what her thoughts on this scenario are, and Saphira says that she's not interested in negotiating with them. She says that they'll find a way around the barrier, and take back the hostages. Gardevoir realizes that there's a barrier, and reveals that Team Meteor is employing a special technology... Which means that they're most likely using a PULSE machine... Gardevoir reveals that Team Meteor has hooked a Mr. Mime up to a PULSE machine, creating a massive forcefield around Labradorra! Saphira reveals that it isn't their only one... She reveals that they're preparing a second PULSE within the city, and they have two more in the surrounding area. Gardevoir states that with these mysterious machines amping up their Pokemon's powers, there's no telling what they'll do next. She wonders if anything can break the forcefield around Labradorra, and what will happen to the resistance in Calcenon? She tells us to stay tuned to find out. Labradorra's been invaded? It seems like Team Meteor's made their next move... I'll be at the resistance in Calcenon soon... Amaria realizes that it's just like with that Muk... Hardy says that we should go up there and help the resistance. Titania harshly warns him against it, and he says that we can't just let Team Meteor do whatever they want. She tells him to not get involved, and that it's better if he doesn't. He then decides to go find Aya, and leaves. Amaria asks Titania if it's really okay to let that happen, and Titania walks down the stairs and tells her that the less she's involved, the better. Amaria tells her that she told her that Team Meteor's after the Sapphire Bracelet she gave her... She declares that she's never going to let them have it, but wonders why they want it. Titania says that she doesn't know, and Amaria asks her where she got it. Titania then tells the story of how she got the Sapphire Bracelet... "A long time ago, I was wandering around in the Chrysolia Region and found a hidden lake. Across the lake, the ground was covered in ash. Some building had burned down. It was partly buried in the ash, but completely unharmed by the flames. It seemed unimportant, so I took it with me." So THAT'S why Laura and Charlotte were worried about the Sapphire Bracelet! They thought it was lost... But it wasn't! Titania found it, and gave it to Amaria! Amaria says that it's strange that Team Meteor wants the Sapphire Bracelet, and Titania tells her to keep it away from them. She says that she's not going anywhere near that place. Amaria says that if she won't let her go, then at least let me. She tells her that I've been crucial in defeating Meteor before. Titania turns to me, and says that I can do whatever I want. Amaria tells me that if I'm going to get to Calcenon City, I need to go through Ametrine Mountain... Which means I'm going to need surf. Luckily I moved the Crustle so I can get there easier! Though I'm still going to need Surf... Luckily, Amaria and Titania actually have the HM for that here! However, Titania rudely states that there's no point in giving me the HM if I don't have the badge to use it yet. Amaria tells me that I'm going to need one of the Circus' leader's badges to use it... She realizes that they got a promotion from them in the mail, and Titania says that they did. She looks for it, and eventually finds it on the floor. She's not sure why they bothered sending a Battle Pass to two Gym Leaders though... Amaria says that they must be hurting for business what with Agate City shutting down. Titania then makes impossible steps as she walks over to me to give me the Battle Pass-Fury. She tells me that Agate has an arbitrary system, so I can't face its leaders without these passes. The one Titania gave me is for Samson. She tells me that if I beat him, I should come back, and they'll give me Surf. Amaria wishes me luck, and I leave as I head back to Agate Circus. Don't worry, help is on the way! I just need to battle one more person before I can head there, first... Get ready, Samson, cause you're going down!

Well, it's been out for a week or two all over the world, and I finally got it a week later. I remember when I played my first Pokemon game in 3rd Grade... Pokemon Sapphire. It brings back memories of playing that, just at the mention of Alpha Sapphire. Unfortunately, somebody stole my Sapphire game (Or I lost it, I don't know), so now I am looking for another 3rd Gen game (Emerald...) Anyways, at least Alpha Sapphire will make up for that! Many years later, I am now a senior in high school, and am ready to revisit Hoenn as a man. Years later, and Hoenn needs a hero. And that hero... is me. Chapter I: Prologue It all started when Professor Birch introduced me to the wonderful world of Pokemon, after witnessing an amazing intro of the game. The beginning brings back memories... Literally. However, the screen zooms out from the old familiar style of Ruby and Sapphire, and I gaze at the wonderful improved world Alpha Sapphire has to offer, as it shows me all sorts of Pokemon outside of the moving truck I'm currently trapped in. Professor Birch then asks me if I'm a boy or a girl through two pictures on my odd device. I am obviously a guy, so I pick the picture on the left. He asks me for my name, which my name is Trevor (Just for old time's sake). He is surprised, as he knows me, because I am moving to Littleroot Town, where he lives. He then asks me if I'm ready, and tells me that my adventure is about to unfold. The back doors of the truck open, as he says that he'll meet me in my lab. My device flips into a map, so I pretty much already have a map (No need to get one!) Before I get out of the truck, I interact with a few things, such as an Azurill doll, which has a familiar smell... Probably because Mom and Dad used it or something, I don't know. I then exit the truck, and look up into the sky... When I look up into the sky, my mom spots me, and is happy that I'm here at last. Where the heck were you, Mom? Were you in a Pokemon battle with dad or something? So much for taking care of your dang kid... She asks me if it was tough riding in the back of the bumpy moving truck all that way. Of COURSE it was, you cold-hearted witch! If you were here the entire time, why couldn't I just sit in the front seat? Or better yet, sit in your dang car with you? She then says that this is Littleroot Town. She tells me that it is going to be our new home. She says that it has a quaint feel, but it looks like it should be a nice place to live. Yeah, and I'll just leave on a journey shortly, so who cares? She even tells me that I'll get my own room this time! Where the heck was I sleeping BEFORE?! Was I sleeping in the same room as you and Dad while you two were having your 'Pokemon battles'?! SERIOUSLY! She then wants to show me the inside of the house, so we go inside. When we head inside, I see two Machokes unpacking boxes and other various things. Mom asks me if it's nice in here, too, and tells me that the moving company's Pokemon even help with the unpacking and cleanup, and that they really make moving a cinch. Unpacking and cleaning up what? I bet you had a lot of fun unpacking with them, mom. SHEESH! Anyway, one of the Machoke show up, and tells mom that they're done with the unpacking. She thanks the Machoke for all the hard work, and that we really appreciate it. We then move out of the way for the Machoke to leave. I'm surprised Pokemon are smart enough to even use a door. Mom then tells me that I should go and see my new room upstairs, and also tells me that dad even bought a new clock for it to help celebrate the big move. She tells me that I'll need to set the time... Which means that I have to set it EXACTLY RIGHT. I go into my new room, and find a black Wii U instead of a Gamecube. I also turn on the TV, which has a program that Mom might like... I'm just gonna get going, then... I go over to my bed, and actually sit on it, which is a first. I go over to my notebook, which just has some basic things. I then go over to my clock... which isn't moving. Lucky for me, I can automatically set the time, which is GREAT. After I set the time, Mom pops into my room, and asks me how I like my new room. She's impressed that everything is put away neatly, and tells me that they finished moving everything in downstairs, too. She remarks how it really is so nice having Pokemon around to help us. Yeah... More like help you... Anyway, she tells me to make sure that everything's all there on my desk. She heads downstairs, and I check my desk. I head downstairs, and Mom screams at me to get my attention. She tells me to come quick, and also says that it's the Petalburg Gym, and that maybe Dad will be on TV. Unfortunately, the report is already past, and instead prepares to talk about a special look at a long-awaited meteor shower in the next star show... Hmm... I wonder when that meteor shower will happen? Mom turns off the TV, and is disappointed that it already ended. She tells me that he was probably on, but we missed his part. She also tells me that one of Dad's friends lives in this town, and that Professor Birch is his name. She tells me that he lives right next door, so I should go over and introduce myself. I go to Professor Birch's house next door, and his wife turns around confused. She walks up to me and asks me who I am, and I introduce myself. She is delighted to see me, and tells me that they have a daughter about the same age as me. She tells me that she has been so excited about making a new friend. That excited, huh? My goodness... She tells me that she should be in her room upstairs, and hopes I'll go and introduce myself. When I go upstairs... HOLY CRAP, A GIRL! AND SHE'S PRETTY, TOO! Anyways... When I go upstairs, I find that she's already finished changing, and getting ready. She gets finished getting ready, and is surprised to see me up here. Her jaw drops, and wonders who I am. She then closes her eyes, and thinks, nodding her head. She realizes who I am, and introduces herself as May. She tells me that she has this dream of becoming friends with Pokemon all over the world, and then when her Dad--err, Professor Birch, told her about me moving here, she was hoping I would be nice and we could be friends. But she realizes that that's silly. She tells me that she just met me, and so what is she talking about... IT IS NOT SILLY! I'LL BE YOUR FRIEND!!! She then blushes, but realizes that she was supposed to be going out to help her dad catch some wild Pokemon! So, she'll see me later. She then leaves, and so do I, but not before checking her stuff like the creep that I am. I watch the TV, but it's on a program Dad might like... OKAY THEN... I head outside and follow May like a stalker, but only to hear the sound of a man screaming for help. I then see Professor Birch being chased by a Poochyena. He notices me as he is cornered, really closely if I might add, and begs me to help him. He tells me that in his bag, there are some Poke Balls. I go over to his bag, and choose. From left to right, there's Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip. I've been planning for a while now, so I know who to choose. I'm going to choose... Treecko! The battle then begins, and I send out Treecko. Lucky for me, Treecko knows Absorb already, so have Treecko use that. While Poochyena keeps using Tackle, Treecko just Absorbs Poochyena's health. Eventually, Poochyena is down for the count, and I win the battle! Professor Birch is relieved, and says that he went into the tall grass to survey wild Pokemon when he was suddenly jumped. He is grateful I saved his hide, and thanks me. He realizes that I'm Norman's boy, Trevo, and says that he didn't even realize who I was at first. He remarks that I've grown into quite the young man. However, this isn't the place for a chat, though, and he invites me to come along to his lab. We head into the lab, and Professor Birch is excited. He tells me that he's heard so much about me from my father, but he said that I didn't have my own Pokemon yet. He tells me that if that's true, then that was quite the performance back there! He tells me that I really am my father's son, and says that as thanks for rescuing him out there, he'll give me the Treecko I used earlier to save him! I give the cool gecko the nickname Sebastian. I like giving my Pokemon proper names. Plus, I'll consider it a shout out to a friend of mine I play Super Smash Bros Melee with at school. After I name Treecko Sebastian, Professor Birch says that if I work with my Pokemon and gain experience, he says I'll make a pretty excellent Trainer. He tells me that his girl, May, happens to be out on Route 103 right now, surveying Pokemon for him, and says that it might not be a bad idea for me to head out that way myself. Well of COURSE I want to see her! She's so dang pretty! Professor Birch is pleased, and says that he's sure that May'll be happy to hear that, too. He tells me that she can help teach me what it means to be a Trainer. What KIND of Trainer, is the better question. He also tells me that if I'm ever lost along the way, I should use the AreaNav on my PokeNav Plus! So THAT'S what this odd device is! He tells me that I can use it to see how to get to Route 103, where May ought to be. He says that if me or my Pokemon get tired, then I should get some rest back at my new house. After I get my first Pokemon, I head on out to Route 101! I battle a wild Pokemon on my way, and Sebastian grows to level 6! When I finally head to Oldale Town, an employee from the Poke Mart shows up and greets me. He makes the assumption that I'm a novice Trainer, and being super kindhearted as he is, he's going to give me useful advice. He shows me the Poke Mart first, which is the building with the blue roof. They sell a variety of goods, including Poke Balls for catching Pokemon! He then says that he'd like me to have a few potions as part of a special promotion. If I got the Dual Pack, I'd be getting 100 of these... But oh well! He tells me that potions can be used anytime, so they can be very useful to have. He then shows me the Pokemon Center, which is the building with the red roof. He tells me to ask a woman inside, and she'll restore my Pokemon's health. He then concludes his advice, and wishes me a great journey before heading back to the Poke Mart. Bless that super kindhearted employee. I go into the Poke Mart to buy some Poke Balls, but when I ask the clerk, they don't have any! Lying jerk... Guess I'll have to wait until later. I head to Route 103, and find May looking out into the distant mountains. Lucky me, it's a sunset! That means there will be a romantic moment! She also looks into a puddle... Which looks like the same one from the intro! She goes over what kinds of Pokemon she found on Route 103, and is surprised when she finds me behind her. She's delighted to find that I got a Pokemon as a gift, and then decides to have a quick battle. She says that she'll give me a taste of what being a Trainer is REALLY like. I'm not sure if I should take that as kinky or not... Dangit, May... You ruined a perfect romantic moment with your wish to battle. But if it's a battle you want... It's a battle you'll get! May sends out Torchic, while I send out Sebastian. KILL THE FURRY! Sebastian uses Pound, while Torchic uses Scratch. Eventually, I have to give Sebastian a potion, but oh well. Eventually, Sebastian Pounds Torchic a few more times, and after one more Pound, Torchic is out, and Sebastian grows to level 7! With May's Torchic knocked out, I win the battle! May is impressed, and says that I'm pretty good. She says it was a good battle, and thanks me for it. She then takes the liberty of healing both of our Pokemon. She is amazed, and says that she thinks that she knows why her dad has his eye on me now. She says that I just got Sebastian, and I've already got that strong of a bond, which means that I could probably befriend any kind of Pokemon I meet! She then says that she better head back to the lab, and heads back to the lab. I follow her, but she stops me at Oldale Town before she continues onward. I follow her, and I head back to the lab. When I enter the lab, I see May standing next to her father, and he tells me that he heard that I beat May on my first try. He tells me that May's been helping with his research for a long time, so she has a pretty long history as a Trainer already. He then gets in a happy mood, and tells me that he ordered a Pokedex for his research, but he says that I should take it. He gives me the Pokedex, and tells me that Pokedex is a high-tech tool that automatically makes a record of any Pokemon I meet or catch. He says that his girl May takes hers with her everywhere she goes, and that whenever she catches a rare Pokemon and records its data in the Pokedex, why, she comes to seek him out whenever he is in the field and shows him! He gets excited about the Pokemon and people I will meet, and the great expanse of nature that lies before me. He tells me to experience them both while I fill in my Pokedex, and that he'd love it if my world seemed wider than ever. He also says that he'd love it even more if I came back from time to time to show him what progress I've made. He gets excited again, and says that he's getting the itch to get out and do fieldwork again. May comes up to me, and is happy that I have a Pokedex, too, just like her. She then says that she'll give me something too... Oh my gosh... OH MY GOSH! PLEASE tell me what I think it is! She then gives me some balls. Poke Balls, to be specific. Dang it! I wanted something else, not your balls, May! Then again, I need Poke Balls... She says that I can use them to catch Pokemon, and tells me that if I catch a Pokemon in the wild and battle together with it for a while, it will grow stronger for me! She tells me to take that as a bit of advice from a more experienced Trainer like her. Umm... I just beat you, you know... She then says that she's going to get ready to head out from Littleroot soon herself. TAKE ME WITH YOU!!! She says that she can't wait to see what kind of Pokemon she's going to meet, and tells me that we should both do our best on our journeys. Yay!!!! May gave me 10 balls! Isn't she sweet? I leave the lab, and set out for my adventure. Until... My MOM shows up and stops me. She freaks out, and asks me if I introduced myself to Professor Birch. Which I did. She sees that I got a Pokemon from him, and says that I am my father's child, all right... She tells me that I look good together with a Pokemon, and then gets sad, because I have my own Pokemon now, and am ready to set out for an adventure. She says that my father will be overjoyed. She tells me not to push myself too hard, and if anything happens, I can always come home. Ummm, how about never until you get your act together? She heads back, but waves goodbye before heading back inside. Finally... I... Am... FREE!!! Look out, Hoenn, I am BACK, but as a NEW MAN!!! Current Stats: Sebastian is the only member in my team so far, and he is AWESOME. Treecko Name: Sebastian Level: 7 Moves: Pound, Leer, Absorb

I vote for Vero, because he's just too awesome. Plus, I use him in my story.

Chapter XLIV: The Sleeping Agate City, And The Wonderful Agate Circus! When I make it to the Agate City gate, I see Cain inside, with a few sleeping guards. He tells me that they're still knocked out for whatever reason, and wonders if something happened. He tells me that if we go past the gate, there's no telling what could happen. Heck, it may even be a long time before we can come back. He asks me if I'm ready, and I reply that I am ready. He sends out Nidoking, and Nidoking smashes the door open. The door goes flying, and Cain returns Nidoking to its Pokeball. I follow Cain, and we enter Agate City. When we get inside Agate City, Cain responds that it's quiet. Too quiet... When we cross the bridge, I could spot a strange person, which I think is a Team Meteor member. That means that THEY'RE probably responsible for what's happened to the city! We head deeper into the city, and Cain calls out to see if anyone is there. Once again, it is dead-silent, which means that it's probably not a good sign. Cain heads deeper into the city, and finds something. He then wonders what Aya is doing here. I follow him, and find Aya and Hardy sleeping! Cain tries to wake her up, but also laughs at her position, because it's a weird place to sleep. I walk up to them, and he says that he's not going to just leave her here, but he's getting a bit tired as well. He then says that he'll just take a nap until she wakes up. No, Cain, you can't do that! Don't you see? The city is quiet because everyone is under a sleep spell! The sky darkens, and an earthquake occurs. He turns, and wonders if I heard something. Another earthquake occurs, and the sky lightens. However, a roar can be heard this time. Just then, an odd, rainbow-haired girl comes in swinging a gigantic mallet, screaming as she nearly pounds Aya's sleeping body with the mallet! However, she misses, and apologizes. She backs up, and Cain scolds her by asking her what she's doing. She replies by screaming what is he doing. She then walks up to Cain, and flirts with him, wanting to take him out this Saturday night. Cain responds by saying that usually people ask that before pounding him, not after. She puts her mallet away, which Cain wonders what she just did with it, as he asks her this question. He walks around her, while she asks him if he wants to find out, with a winky face. He asks her where it could have POSSIBLY gone, and all she says is that he's checking her out. Cain backs up, and begs me to tell him that he's not THIS bad. The girl then gets back on topic, and tells us that we gotta get out of here. Cain asks why, and asks her who she is. She introduces herself as Terra, and rawrrrrs. She states that acceptable alternate names include Terrawr, Terraria, Terrawrawrawrawrawrawr, M3G4T3RR4, super 1337 lion tamarr and Queen o' B00ty. She spins around to Cain, and tells him that she's got some sweet sweet words o' sugar for him, so she tells him to lend his ear realllll close-like. She then yells at him to get outta here. He backs up, and she tells us that anypony who sticks around is gonna fall right asleep. Terra spins around and heads over to Aya and Hardy, saying that they're exhibits A, and C. She says that there was a exhibit B, but she ate him. Which I don't believe to be true... Cain asks her if the reason everyone's asleep is because of the whole place. She tells him that he is correct, and says that he wins a brand new car... But then says that she ate the car, too. She tells us to leave, but tells us not to worry, because she has our friends up one way first class ride to safety. She explains... by getting out her mallet. When Cain asks her what she's doing, all she responds is with "ur mom". She yells "BATTER UP!" and smacks her mallet to the ground, sending Aya up in the air, allowing Terra to smack her body away with her mallet, while she screams "HOME RAWR!" She walks behind Hardy's body, and does the same thing, while asking what a physics is. Terra tells us not to worry, for they are safe now. She says that we will sing Hakuna Mattattas and go join them. She asks if we're ready, and Cain says that he'll walk. He wants to know where she launched Aya, and all she says is that he won't be able to walk after she's done with him. He replies that she might be surprised, and tells us that we gotta get out of here before we fall asleep too, as he can already feel it. Terra then spins away, while we follow her. We follow Terra, and she leads us to the famous Agate Circus, where no one is asleep. Cain asks her if she is a clown, and she yells at him, saying that she is a fierce and mighty lion tamer, while also adding that she tames someone named Ciel, if we know what she means... She tells us that our friends probably fell around here somewhere, and also tells us that she's gonna go hit the showers. She moonwalks away, while Cain asks me if I think Aya's okay. She DID get knocked over a mountain by a giant mallet, after all, even I would be worried... He says that we should split up, and look for her. He leaves, while I go look for Aya. I battle some clowns while I'm here, and then I head over to where I find everyone surrounding the Ringmaster. The Ringmaster tries to calm everyone down, and says that they just need to assure everyone that everything is probably okay. She spots me, and asks me if I need any help. I tell her that I'm looking for Aya, and she is overjoyed. She tells everyone that everything is under control. She tells me that Aya just sailed over the ride and landed right in the middle of the circus... And then a moment later, everyone who looked up saw a boy straight across the circus. That must have been Hardy. Unfortunately, they don't know where he landed yet... She tells me that on a lighter note, Aya survived, though they're not sure how... Though they're still trying to find Hardy. I tell her that Terra was the one who launched them, and she realizes what happened. Now we HAVE to find Hardy or it'll look bad for the circus. She apologizes for not properly introducing herself, and says that she's the Ringmaster of the Agate Circus. She tells me that at the Agate Circus, they bring us the Big Top top-tier entertainment, and that it's an experience that can't be bought, guaranteed to make my draw jop. She corrects herself, and says jaw drop. She apologizes, and reveals that she's still new to this. She tells me that her father was the original Ringmaster, but he's not around anymore... She tells me that they're having a rough time, as she says that Agate City had to be closed because everyone who passed through would fall asleep and not wake up... As such, they can't get any business from Agate or Reborn City. She says that it's tough to keep going, and now Terra's causing problems again. Terra's caused problems before? She says that it's tough, but we will definitely all get through this. She tells me that she had a guy named Samson carry Aya into the back room so she could be treated. She says that she has to finish up here, so I have to ask Samson to take me to her. I head to the test-your-strength game, and I find a man with spiky brown hair. He advertises for it, and demonstrates. He hits it so hard, that the bell breaks off! His power level is... OVER 9000!!! The operator then says that it's time for a new bell. He walks over to it, and puts a new bell on it. The strongman introduces himself as Samson, Circus Strongman. He admits that his Pokemon do most of the work for the main shows, but as I can see, he isn't a lightweight. He asks me if I need anything, and I tell him about Aya's situation. He tells me that he carried her into the back room just a minute ago, and says that it's in the Big Top. He says he'll take me back there, and tells me to meet him at the front. I head to the front, and there's a crowd. He tells everyone to move by yelling at them, and they move. He tells me to enter, and I do. When I head inside, I find a blue-haired lady who just got done with her show. Samson comes in, and she notices him. She asks him if I'M the boy they were trying to find, but before he can introduce me, he realizes that he forgot to ask for my name. The girl introduces herself as Ciel, the spotlit starlet of the Agate Circus specialty show. She tells me that aerial ballet is her forte. So THIS is Ciel that Terra was talking about... Samson tells her that I'm here for Aya. Ciel is delighted at the news, and was worried that no one would claim her. They lead me to the back room, and I follow them. When I make it into the back room, I find Aya resting on a couch, surrounded by Ciel and Samson. I also find some computers. I wonder who uses them? Aya doesn't respond, and Samson asks me if she's my friend. The Ringmaster arrives shortly after, and brings Cain, saying that they have another visitor. Cain is happy to see Aya, and the Ringmaster asks us if something's up with Terra. She says that Terra just ran up, punched the showers, and ran off. I guess she was literal when she said she was going to hit the showers... Cain tries to wake Aya up, and asks her if she can hear him. She wakes up groggily, and says that she feels like crap. She's surprised to see Cain, and he is relieved she is alive and awake. She says that it's been a while, and Cain apologizes. He asks her how their mom is doing, and she tells him not to ask. She asks where Hardy is, and Ciel realizes that Hardy was the boy who soared not-quite-so-elegantly over the circus. Aya says that Hardy was supposed to show her his gym, which was why they went up to Agate. However, she can't remember what happened when they got there... Samson tells her that something in the city conked both her and Hardy out, and the city's been closed since. Cain tells her that we found her sleeping in the middle of the street, and he almost fell asleep, but then... Terra happened. Ciel apologizes for Terra's behavior, and the Ringmaster says that while Terra may be rambunctious, they do have to keep her around. She then says that it wouldn't due for the Agate Circus to lose one of its famous Gym Leaders.. Wait... Terra's a GYM LEADER?! Ciel reveals that with Samson joining her and Terra, they are newly called the Agate Ace Triumvirate. So those three are Gym Leaders? That means I can get THREE badges from this place! The Ringmaster states that the Gym Battles make fantastic shows. Ciel reveals that she is the Flying-type Leader, while the Ringmaster reveals that Terra is the Ground-type Leader, and also reveals that Samson has recently joined them as the Fighting-type Leader. Samson says that it was kind of the last leader to resign all of a sudden... Kiki DIED, you idiot! Cain says that it wasn't like that at all, and says that this is awkward... because Kiki is dead. Aya asks if Hardy isn't here, and the Ringmaster tells her that Terra knocked him further. She tells her that he probably fell somewhere in Route 2. Aya then says that we should go find him, and Cain gets suspicious. He asks her if she likes Hardy, but she denies it instantly. Cain says that he's just worried, that's all. Samson tells Aya that she has to sit down, and says that he's surprised he can even walk after what Terra put her through. Ciel even agrees, and it won't due at all to send her in her condition. Cain asks me to go look for Hardy, and says that he and Aya have some catching up to do. The Ringmaster tells me that if I'm going to Route 2, I'm going to need a Powder Vial. She says that they usually have quite a few people passing through, so they sell them at the front. Aya then says that it's settled. Not that she misses him or anything, but she tells me to hurry and find Hardy. After the whole conversation, I talk to the Ringmaster, who saw me perk up at the mention of the gym leaders earlier, which must mean that I'm a challenger. Which I am. She then tells me about their special challenge rules. She tells me that everyone and their Pikachu would just be challenging the leaders all the time if they could, but then they'd never get to use the Big Top space for anything else. So, in order to face one of the Agate Ace Triumviarte, I need a special Battle Pass. They send some passes out as a promotion, and I also have a chance to win them from circus games and other events. She tells me to stick around and get to playing. Samson makes a snide remark about her ad campaign, and she tells him to shush. After talking to the Ringmaster, I talk to Samson, and he's still wondering what happened to the last Fighting Leader. He was only told that she retired, but my friend, Cain, seems to know something that he doesn't. Cain then tells him that she passed on, and Samson realizes that he sounded like a complete jerk, and even says that he looks like one for what he said, to which Ciel replies that it's nothing unusual about that. Samson defends himself by saying that he usually tries to hold off on making that known. Cain then says that I must have been pretty frustrated to beat the last leader and not get a badge. You THINK?! Samson takes a note of this, and tells me that when I get around to challenging him, he'll have to amp up the competition, because he says that he can't make it too easy. Thanks, Cain! Ciel tells Samson that he always makes it easy, and Samson says that there will be no comments from the Flying-Type peanut gallery. Ciel laughs, and says that somebody is bothered. Probably because YOU, Ciel, use Flying types against him. Poor Samson. After talking to Samson, I talk to Ciel, who hopes that Agate City is restored shortly. She is saddened to see the audience only half-full after a show. Unfortunately, no one can quite figure out why everyone in Agate falls asleep. However, she tells me that someone is on the case, but I won't believe who, either... Samson reveals that it turns out that Terra the Terrible isn't bad with computers. Ciel confirms this, and says that Terra tells them she's able to detect a radio signal broadcasting over Agate City. Ciel also says that in just a short while longer, Terra can figure out its source. Samson says that once she does, we go in there, give it some good old-fashioned knuckle bashing, and call it a day. Ciel then says that is technically the idea. After talking to Ciel, I talk to Cain, who apologizes to Aya about pushing the gym leader position onto her. She tells him that if he was really sorry, he wouldn't have done it. Cain starts singing, and she tells him to stop, while asking him if those songs of his were enough to shove her and their mom out of his mind entirely. He replies that it's not, and that he's made a choice for his own well-being, so there's no point in feeling guilty for it. He tells her that her didn't mean to saddle her with so much responsibility, but he couldn't deal with their mom anymore. She asks him if he thinks that their mom got any more tolerable after that, and says that she practically denies Cain exists now. She also says that their mom hasn't stopped yelling, but the only difference is that it's not about Cain anymore. After a moment of awkwardness, Aya says that at least one of them can be happy. She tells him that if she didn't have to take his position, she might not have met Hardy. Cain tells her that she can be happy too, and she says that it's not like that, which he denies. After talking to Cain, I talk to Aya, and Cain's asking her about Hardy. She knows what he's going to say, and she tells him that he may as well just not say it. Cain is persistent, and tells her to tell him about Hardy. After all, he needs to know who to beat up if Hardy hurts her, and he says that's what brothers are for. She tells him that brothers aren't supposed to run away from home, which leaves him a sting. She tells him that Hardy is the Agate City Rock Leader, and that he came to help her settle into her new job-- the one that Cain dumped on her. Cain apologizes again, and tells her to put her claws away. Aya tells him that they were working on figuring out what kind of puzzle her gym should have, because it seems that every gym has to have a puzzle. She asks him if that's strange, but then continues onward. She tells him that Hardy said he'd take her up and show her his gym's puzzle as an example. However... This happened. Cain tells her that she still hasn't told him anything about him, and asks if Hardy's cute. Even Aya doesn't know what he means by that question, as she quickly asks him what that means. Cain confirms her thoughts by saying that he is cute. Aya tries to defend herself by saying she didn't say that, but he says that she didn't deny it. Aya says that doesn't mean it's true, but he asks her if it's true. She tries to explain, but she admits with a 'maybe'. Cain tells her to use protection, which leaves her shocked. I then leave the tent. I head outside of the tent, and find a guy who sells the Powder Vial. When I buy it, he explains that the Powder Vial collects and stores various spores from large plants in Route 2. It can hold one unit each of two types of powder: Sleep Powder and Rage Powder. Route 2 is a rocky road, so I'll probably need those powders to help me cross. He tells me that the Pokemon will be happy to help... With some peaceful coercion. However, there is one fatal flaw: When carrying contained powder, I have to not shake it too much or it will spoil. So, I have to try to avoid stepping anywhere with unstable footing. With the Powder Vial in hand, I set out for Route 2 to look for Hardy. Don't worry, Hardy, we'll find you. I just hope you're still alive. Current Pokemon Stats No new changes.

I agree with him. The types do suck, and the alliance is only going to hold on for maybe... one or two more weeks? It's dead anyway, so I'm out too.

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could join Cerulean. Vermillion is on its last leg, and the members there don't even know what they're doing, so I'm done with them. You guys, on the other hand, do know what you're doing.

I'd hate to admit this, but even I got frustrated with the game a little bit. And right now, all I have to say is one thing... FRICKING BELDUM. I have a Gengar, Beldum goes to sleep. But does it go in the Pokeball? No. Instead, when it wakes up, it uses Take Down. And of course Hypnosis doesn't work sometimes. Once its out of Take Downs, Beldum eventually has to struggle its way into Death's arms. This bothers me to no end, and so far, I have caught every single Pokemon in Pokeballs.

If the second set of Gym Leaders thing was true, I'd bet that it would be the ones from the Excessum League. Who knows? Just a thought.

Dang it, I can't make it that night... Got the last performance that day...

Thursday night? Happy Birthday to me, then!

Episode 14 would have to be a long one if it's going to have Blake, Heather, Shelly, AND Amaria and Titania coming back. If Amaria comes back, and is going to be the next gym leader that is battled, I would make a bet that Titania would be one of the next gym leaders as well. Probably not, but still a thought. And wouldn't Amaria have time to level up Deliverance? I'm surprised that's not the case. Though I could be wrong, considering there was a Ho-Oh in one of the battles when fields were being displayed.

I saw parts of the first and second season, most of the fourth season, and all of the fifth and sixth seasons. Third season, I barely watched.

Forum Name: Trevo Length of time on Reborn: At least one to two years Favorite game genre: RPG, FPS Notable skills: Understanding, communication, making friends, and other assorted skills that will later on be revealed. Hobbies: Videogames, whistling, singing, Pokemon, card games, chess, acting, scaring, Psychology, Leadership, piano Best Trait: My smart, but friendly personality in general. Worst Trait: I seem to be a bit... darker in personality underneath my friendly face. However, I don't necessarily consider this a bad trait, per say... Which is odd. Describe yourself in one sentence, long or short it doesn't matter: I'm a friendly guy who writes stories, isn't afraid to lead if necessary, and knows how to walk the walk, and talk the talk. Why we should pick you to play Survivor Reborn: With my skills, my personality, and my intelligence, I believe that I can be a great asset for anyone. However, cross me, and you'll probably see my dark side a bit sooner than expected.

Have I heard of Survivor? Why yes I have! My mom and sisters used to watch it a lot, though. The show I enjoy is Total Drama (Has anyone heard of that?) Anyway, I'll sign up, too!

He's the white (looks like light-brown)-robed man who eventually wears a black suit, and eventually wears a trenchcoat with shades in his sanctum once his true nature is revealed.

So the dead police officer fell into a library? Interesting...

I'm not going to deny, but I used the Cottonee and Pineco strategy too. Heck, I used it against Solaris and his Garchomp, too. Luckily, Garchomp's Fire Fang doesn't burn, cause otherwise, I would have failed. But yeah. All Arceus does is Recover. El doesn't have Full Restores like Solaris does.

Hmm... Try making a picture of Elias in his trenchcoat. Either that, or his suit. Whichever works.

Whoa... Those 3D PULSE Pokemon look scary as heck. Kind of like something from a horror film. Nightmare on Reborn City. XD

I have a theory... But it may not be true. If it were to be someone that Team Meteor is after... I'd say that it is Lin's own spirit that she had when she was a young girl... Before she went bad. Just a thought.

Tell me, what Pokemon am I, good sir?

I thank you for your acceptance. However, I must warn you all that turncoats will not be forgiven. Keep that in mind, for those who like to turn on others. Sorry if I was a bit harsh on that... It's just that I don't like being betrayed. Skype Name: phantomtrevo0
