Maybe. But only after Kage and Mareek are talking and Lucas is close to Mareek for a little while.

Raiza Raiza's mother awaited her daughter after she couldn't keep a clear head in her battle. “See? That's why you should be a breeder! But since you obviously can't be trusted, we're taking you home. You can get your Breeder's License if you follow a special program by one of the many recognized Breeding Facilities. Luckily for us we own one and so do the Everharts.” Wander and Murdoc While Raiza was preparing to leave the next battle was announced. Brand and Marco somehow managed to call both Mareek and Kage to the field despite trying to gain advantage over the microphone.

Last time I checked Empoleon is still part steel xD That Walrein I mentioned is a second character to serve under King Cold.

Underdark's King position is free right? I might sign up with that Empoleon idea. And a fat Walrein to get under Commander's skin

If you have something planned I can leave it up to you. I'm not going to update for another 2-3 hours so you can decide what you want to do.

Yeah I noticed that as well. I got something planned to remove Raiza so I'll include it in my next update.

Like you are able to do that. Anyway registrations are still closed. The only exceptions I make is when people want to return. And that's only if they showed some manners by letting me know instead of just vanishing into thin air. (That means Notus, Zephyr and Bfroger could also potentially return in the future if they want. Even though I haven't seen Bfroger online the last couple of weeks) And I might have some free time now. My problems are postponed so I could potentially update RoG and Evan. No guarantees since the source of my problems tends to say one thing and do the exact opposite a few hours later.

King Cold? Seriously? xD I'm disappointed you didn't go for an Empoleon named Napoleon.

I have to agree when it comes to the one Cepheus suggested. Isn't that the same as the Steel guy from Kalos? I never played the games but wasn't he dressed in armor or something like that? Nvm got ninja'd.

So here's some characters I had on reserve. Some of them cover things that others already mentioned (like normal types). I changed them a little bit to fit a game. Normal E4 member Fairy Gym Water (I doubt this one is going to be helpful) I can't seem to find the ones I had for Fighting and Ground...

I'm dealing with family issues right now. I hoped I could keep up, especially after Tomas had to drop out, but I can't. It also looks like it isn't going to be resolved soon so yeah... I'm dropping out.

Fixed it for you <3 And I'll see if I can find the document with extra characters. I haven't fleshed them out completely though.

Make a Sabertooth Tiger and I will love you forever Also my prediction for the starters: Grass / Steel. Just because. Fire / Normal. Water / Dragon And suggestions if you're interested: Not sure if you can do anything with them. And if you still want NPCs, I have some spare characters that I was going to use in Ymora, but in the end they drew the short stick.

I had fun as well. And now that everything is open some things are really amusing to read.

((Second semi-final: Ryan vs Kage, Fire field)) "The same rules apply for this battle. It's a double battle and each trainer is allowed to switch only once. Of course you're allowed to replace a fainted Pokémon, but after a second one faints you lose the battle," Brand explained as the lava spread around the battle field. The security fences fell into place with a loud bang to make sure none of the Pokémon would be thrown in inwillingly as things were about to heat up between the couple.

In the IC? Yes. Which reminds me I have to start Kage vs Ryan in the Battle topic.

December 9, Year 120 in the IC. The Battle topic runs a few hours ahead. After that there will be a small skip to the 14th (start holiday) and it depends on certain actions how long it will take.

Psst Dobby, Phoebe nicknames all the students. Redwood's lab. I assume Mareek would be interested to evolve Erce after the Cup? The lab is always open. Even during holidays and when Redwood isn't there. Aaaand back to househunting. At this rate I won't even make Chapter 5 -.-'

((Setsuna)) “Oh really?” Lane asked. He wasn't aware Anna glanced at him as he was too busy preparing his next hunt. “I guess I'll join. But I still want to talk to this Ayatane guy... I just hope he doesn't want to duel me. I don't think I'm lucky enough to win twice in a row.”

Students that go home miss the start of the plot. I'm using the Holiday to get certain characters out of the way so the students can run wild instead.

Phoebe The water type expert grinned. “Don't worry about the stones just yet. There are other circumstances you'll have to meet. The first one is obvious; strength. Just like any other evolution, your Pokémon's body needs to be capable of wielding all that power. Even if the species can mega evolve, it doesn't mean all of them can.” Phoebe raised a second finger. “The second requirement is the one Professor Sycamore is currently studying. He calls it the bond between trainer and Pokémon, but he basically means trust. If I would do something right now that pisses off Gyarados, I guarantee he won't be able to mega evolve next time. It's the most tricky requirement since it can screw up any time. And the third thing that's mandatory,” she said, still counting on her fingers, “is the one most Pokémon lack; a reason. Or determination. Something needs to trigger their desire to push themselves far beyond their normal limit. It can literally be anything. 'I want to be strong to protect my trainer' or 'I want to destroy the woman who gave me this scar'. Anger is what drives my Gyarados. Last time I faced Veronica, Gyarados swept through her team on sheer force, anger, determination and stubbornness alone.” She turned around and faced Spytfire. “Desire to become this strong isn't enough. Many Pokémon share that thought. In the forest alone there's a certain Rookie who is like that, but he never managed to take down Sawsbuck despite being equally strong.” Gyarados roared yet again. That little fire type wanted power? How ridiculous. Same for that Mawile. They both looked like fools hunger for battle. They would never beat someone like him. But at least they weren't so annoying like that little Spheal. The desire to chew on the fat Pokémon was strong... Phoebe sighed. “You never learn do you?” she asked before recalling the powerhouse. “Sorry about that but it seems like my Gyarados still has issues... Anyway I got to go. See you all later and for those that reach the finals; make sure to embarrass Veronica!” The next day, 10.30 AM, Danielle vs Evan “And Danielle is the first to reach the final four! Evan came close but lost his cool early on and made mistakes which costs him the match. His Vaporeon and Clefairy put up a decent fight but Danielle's Mawile and Larvesta pulled through. Congratulations Danielle!” Brand said. “Now the next battle starts between Jacob and Slade. Both of you report to the field!” ((To give people time to react to Danielle's battle, ExLink and Jory post their characters are at the field. Once they had enough time, one of the hosts will make an update 24 hours later with the outcome of that battle. After that ExLink and Jory can keep posting like usual))

(Final Four: Danielle vs Jacob: Wind Turbines) While Brand announced the first semi-final, the wind turbines popped up and started blowing. It took a minute before the test run was over as Brand continued to explain the rules. "This semi finals are all Double Battles! You're allowed to switch during the battle only once! If one of your Pokémon goes down, you are allowed to use your third even though you already switched. However, if two of your Pokémon go down, you lose!"

I locked chapter 3 so I can start chapter 4. It will start with the Mega Evolution update so no one will miss it, followed by Evan's loss the next day. Once the Cup is finished there's a break that will last 14 days. Students have the option to go home or to stay. It's not uncommon in Ymora for students to stay in the dorms. (I'm using the Belgian system I'm familiar with.) These 14 days are the Christmas Holidays and also New Year. This means certain NPCs might not be around if Jory and Dobby decide they aren't going to use them.

Tomorrow is the final update and the start of the next chapter. If you still want to respond to Phoebe do so before I update.

My next update with Phoebe is going to be my last before I start the next chapter. I suggest everyone reads it and not only the ones that are directly involved as it will explainhow Mega Evolution works. It's not because you have a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve that it will reach the requirements. Or that I'm going to be nice enough to let your PC find the correct stone. This also means that I prefer people to finish up their interactions so we can go to the next day. And now I go back to appartement hunting so I can get back into this when Chapter 5 starts.
