Goomy as second catch right? It's fine as long as it's 5 levels under the rest or something.

Oh boy, I'll see when we get there. At this point they don't know each other and Slade doesn't know what she said...

I know what you mean but I want to know the reason behind it xD She's not as strong as Evan. (at this point)

Why would you want to fight her?

Lucky Elf The Chatot hopped around the branches. “Treat! Treat! Buddy! Treat!” it said before munching on the Pokéblock. When it ate everything it went back at staring to the student in a curious way, wondering what a human without wings was doing in a tree. Azery The Golem growled and took a few steps closer. It didn’t like being called a rock like some lifeless being. He pointed at James Pokémon and then to the exit. If they didn’t move fast things could go ugly very quickly. Tacos Sofia giggled and took a seat behind Ryan. She hugged him tightly under the excuse she didn’t want to fall off. she nuzzled her face against his back and used him as a pillow, completely getting rid of any previous shyness. “I’m ready when you are!” Robert The Goodra gestured for Robert to follow, happy she found a new friend. She led him around the lake, past Sissy, and brought him to even more Goodra. All of them seemed very friendly as they came closer to hug him. Surge As soon as the wooden sculpture was finished Swellow jumped from Mareek’s shoulder and grabbed it carefully in her beak. She flew at fast speed, before Erce or Java could react, towards her nest. She put it with the rest of her trophies and seemed very proud of herself. It was only a few trees from where they were now and Mareek could see something moving on the ground. A little Cubone was staring at the top and desperately tried to get into the tree. After another failed attempt it started crying. Apparently the Swellow had stolen something from Cubone as well. DarkLight and Commander “I think it’s already too late,” Evan mumbled. He was lying with his face turned away from Henry so didn’t recognize him. “They already consider me their personal trampoline. That or emergency food supply.” “Like I would fall for that little act of yours!” the Redhead replied. “I know girls like you all too well. You flirt around with every guy you see because you’re desperate for attention! Ha! Like I would let you steal the spotlight from me!” She threw her hair back again. “Don’t worry, you can still have Slade. After all, I like strong, muscular trainers with talent. Trainers with a bright future and that know what they want. Trainers like Jacob! Without him neither you nor Slade would have half the skills you possess now. If you can call it skills…” Her eye fell on Avis. “Hmpf,” she smiled arrogantly, “not worth my time. But remember my name; Kristen. I’m the future top coordinator!” she stared with her blue eyes right into Danielle’s and gave an arrogant wink before walking in the direction of Evan and Henry.

No problem. Swellow can carry it without damaging.

I don't think he classifies. But I can be wrong. At least 5 levels so you can't use it in the Winter Cup. (Chapter 3) And I'll be changing that to at least one new Pokémon.

What does everyone have against my new NPC? And I just noticed we can finally find out if Ginger's have souls when Raiza's Litwick meets her.

Nope. There is a safe way out. I just want to see what James would do.

The Swellow is linked to the Cubone. If you also want a Taillow that's up to you. And damn. Bfroger ninja'd me again.

Group 1 (Bforger, Murdoc, Zephyr, EXLink) Some of the smaller Tyrunts surrounding Raiza turned their attention towards Shiro and Lana. They hadn’t seen the two quiet students before and decided to go and investigate. Lana noticed the Shun poking her, but was too late to reply. Three little Tyrunt's arrived. One of them circled around Shiro while another bit in his shirt and tried to pull him to where the rest was. Next to him a third Tyrunt was pushing Lana into the same direction. She let the little dragon do his thing, making her unable to hear what Shiro said, and ended up next to Raiza. “Was this your plan?” she giggled. She never expected Tyrunts to be so playful. A few meters ahead Kage was still surrounded. The Tyrunt he was talking too replied by nudging his nose against Kage’s face before pushing him with the top of his head. It was obviously a challenge as the other Tyrunts decided to back down and watch with interest. Group 2 (Commander and DarkLight) All four Gibles were now jumping and dancing on Evan. “I should’ve released my dragon slayer,” he mumbled while lying on the ground, defeated. It was by far the best day he had since coming to the Academy. The new girl was about to make a nasty remark when Henry came over. “The name’s Henry, and you are?” “Too good for you, boy!” she replied while throwing her hair back. “If you try to befriend me to help Danielle over there, don’t bother. I can handle her myself. She’s not that great as she thinks!” She left him standing and walked over to where Danielle was playing around with some Trapinch and Druddigon. “Oooh, how cute! Almost as cute as Slade, don’t you think? Too bad we’re not in the same group, I would’ve loved to get to know him better.” Group 3 (TurboAura, Tses, Tacos) If Robert thought he was off the hook he was mistaken. The Goodra still followed the group and snuck up on him again. This time she didn’t hug him. Instead she stood perfectly still. This human, she could tell, was a nice one. Maybe she could play around with him a little bit longer? The brunette blushed. “I’m Sofia,” she said. “I’m in the Breeder program so you probably haven’t seen me around too much…” she stared at her fingers. Normally she wasn’t a shy girl but something about Ryan made her a little insecure. “I would love to fly with you!” she eventually blurted out. Roman was about to answer Sissy’s question when he remembered Phoebe’s reputation. “I think I’ll leave this up to you,” he said. The water type expert actually thought for a second. “Way too many to sum up!” she said in her enthusiastic way. Do you have a specific Pokémon in mind?” Her lazy side took over and to be honest she would probably forget to mention a few species anyway. Group 4 (K_H, Surge, Jory, Azery, Lucky Elf) When James finally found his Pokémon back he saw they were cornered by a Golem. Apparently Shade and Luna mistook if for a nice stone their trainer could use to carve. The Rock type turned around and growled. “Leeem!” In the meantime the Swellow was inspecting Mareek. Apparently this human didn’t have anything shiny with him or something else of value. The bird turned its attention back to Erce and wondered. Maybe that wood was important? Or the Scyther could make something out of it that she could add to her collection? She decided to wait just a little longer to see how things would play out and spread her wings. “Swellow!” Claude’s climbing earned him some attention. A Chatot flew over and found a place in front the student. The little bird kept staring and making eye contact.

Yes, but that's not the problem. Edit: ooooh Henry! Thanks for leaving yourself wide open! XD

Yes. But let James stay in that cave for now. I'm updating and only need to finish group 2. Aaand Ninja'd by Turbo: Ok. Robert's next excursion is with Brendan and Rebecca anyway and that's the best place.

I'd say around 2 PM. After that you leave with the next group. (Until 6)

Btw those that want me to set things up just let me know which Pokémon you want to add and I'll get to it as soon as your character is in the right area. If not I'll let you decide on how you want things to do. I'm currently setting up Kage and Mareek. If you want to battle I'm not going to control it (like Tyrunt).

I planned for Evan to catch a Phanpy with Bulldoze (and Ice Shard since they are bred by Lana's parents) so yes, that's perfectly fine. Skorupi's are around the part where group 2 is now. The others by the lake since they are water types. Option 2. I'm still debating if I want to reveal something of his backstory or not. He won't start bugging people until they start talking to him. I haven't catched up but again? Maybe I should put Claude in that cave... I put her there so Shiro can get to know her.

Go ahead. There are others with 4 soon so I don't mind.

Axew instead of Tyrunt or both? If both one has to be underleveled.

You can control the small ones. I'll probably set Kage up to catch one of them before moving to the Haxorus territory.

It shouldn't be too hard to figure out and the reason behind it.

Somewhere in the forest the sun was reflecting on a small mirror signaling the location of four hooded characters. The smallest one, under suspicion for being a female, put the mirror away as soon as a steel bird landed not too far from them. The Skarmory had a camera around its neck. “Get the laptop,” the leader ordered. He removed the camera and plugged it into the small laptop one of the other members had in his bag. The images showed a group of students splitting up in four different directions. The camera, soaring high above their heads, managed to catch the faces of each and every one of them before heading off towards the next group. “What now? Our target is in the perfect spot to launch the Donphan’s. That sandbox is close to their current position.” The one who spoke up had a deep and heavy voice. “This is our chance!” “No,” the leader said. “He has two guardians with him. We wait to strike until he’s with Devin Cadmus.” “Are you insane?” the last guy spoke up. He had a frail build. “Attacking them when the strongest person out of all of them is around?” “You really are stupid, aren’t you?” the leader asked. “In case you didn’t notice; all groups have two guardians with them except for the elite four member. Probably because he can handle it all himself but he’s in the mountains where accidents happen… And he doesn’t have that annoying Flygon with him. Not even he can stop a Donphan stampede without an effort!” The remaining members shut their mouth for a moment before the suspicious one asked another question. “What about our second target? He’s in that group right now. Do we strike?” “No!” the leader replied once again. He couldn’t believe how dumb these guys were when it came to such an important mission. “The stampede will only work once so we’ll use it when they are a little more tired. Cadmus has to do that excursion 4 times and has to be on guard all the time. The first time around we can’t move. We’ll wait until our second target receives more freedom.” He pointed towards the screen where images of Rebecca and Brendan were playing. “We wait until he’s with them!”

I'm tempted to give Redhead a Dedenne...

Group 1 (Bforger, Murdoc, Zephyr, EXLink) The Tyrantrum, who was in charge when the big one wasn’t around, snorted in reply to the bowing students. Apparently it was some sort of a signal the small Tyrunt’s were waiting for. Their curiosity took over as they sprinted towards the students. Kage and Raiza, who were the closest students, gained a lot of attention. Both of them were surrounded by at least 5 Tyrunt’s. Some of them were sniffing while others pulled them by the shirts. Slade and Flare weren’t that popular. One Tyrunt came over to play with Flare while another one was curiously watching Slade’s headphones. It tilted it’s head in a curious way, but for now kept its distance. Lana, who was standing next to Shiro, giggled when she saw Raiza surrounded. Group 2 (Commander and DarkLight) “Of course,” Alastair answered Danielle. “The Pokémon here are used to my presence and know that we don’t want to hurt them. Wait for them to get used to your presence so they don’t get startled. Usually they ignore students because the small ones, especially the Gibles, come to us by themselves. Just take a look over there.” He nodded in Evan’s direction. Evan moved away from the tree line and was standing in between multiple holes in the ground. Every now and then a Gible popped out with a loud “Giiible!” trying to draw Evan’s attention. As soon as the student turned around another one popped up from behind him. The action was repeated multiple times before Evan said something. “Y’all are a bunch of jokers, huh? Let’s see who laughs last!” He jumped towards a hole and put his hand into it hoping to catch a Gible. The small dragons popped up from behind him and started laughing and jumping around. There were four in total and one jumped on Evan’s leg and started biting in his shoe. Alastair started laughing and moved on to the older ones. He rubbed the head of a Druddigon he apparently knew and said something. The dragon nodded and went over to the rest of the students. In the meantime the girl with the red hair moved closer to Danielle. “You want to feed them? I hope you didn’t make the food yourself or those poor Dragons will be poisoned.” After her nasty remark she flung her hair behind her head and grinned a hateful smile towards Danielle and Avis. Group 3 (TurboAura, Tses, Tacos) Roman looked back to the group of students when they reached the lake. “Since this trip is all about interaction with wild Dragon types, you can all start exploring the area. My lovely assistant and I,” he pointed to Phoebe, “will keep an eye out.” His eye fell on Robert and he started laughing. “Looks like you already found a friend, boy!” His laugh echoed through the forest and was sure to attract some more Pokémon. In the meantime the girl smiled at Ryan. “Thanks,” she said. “Cool Flygon you have there. It belongs to Professor Cadmus right? I’m so jealous I can’t fly on it!” She stroked her hair multiple times and showed Ryan her sweetest smile. He could finally see her long hazelnut brown hair reached over her shoulders. She was a little shorter than him and her smile reached her brown eyes. And while she was trying to play it cool she felt really nervous. She wanted to get to know the boy in front of her that she even forgot to mention her name. Group 4 (K_H, Surge, Jory, Azery, Lucky Elf) James’s Pokémon that went into the cave didn’t return. A few minutes passed and still nothing. Maybe it was better if he went inside to take a look. While Mareek started working on his project he was being watched from a nearby tree. As soon as Erce started the bird left the tree in a free fall way. Right before it hit the ground it accelerated even faster and landed on Mareek’s shoulder. The Swellow looked with interest at the soon to be statue. ((I’m going to let Kenny continue for a little longer))

That's the fun of being a host: I know their strenghts and how they would react xD Send your character via PM. That way we can discuss it there and I can tell you when to post it in here. I'm doing the same thing with someone else.

More like don't underestimate Devin. He doesn't have any sympathy for organizations like RoG so even if they bring their A-game Devin is hard to beat. Like I said: Students can join in when Chapter 3 starts and RoG depends on the activity there so it might still be possible to join them.
