1724 Almost as bad as 70 Now I just need the stone and trade evolutions xDD (And anorith and nosepass, but whatever)

1731 I will. Thank you! Is there a reasoning behind that name? lol!

1729 Almost as bad as 70 My bad, getting online now!

1727 Almost as bad as 70 @Link: Did you just skip 20 numbers? lol! Can we trade? I have a Lunatone xD

"None taken~ This is only the top 16 though, so we, the top trainers, need to weed out the boring ones first without showing off our real combos. Then that is where things get exciting." Danielle chimed. Seeing Solaris going on the offensive, Corona decided to dodge out of the way by shooting a String Shot to the ceiling. She then watched as Solaris sped by as she dangled on her silk thread, giggling a little to herself. This was almost as fun as balancing on her balloon. "Missed me~" she chirped to the aggressive male Larvesta. While the Larvestas are getting acquainted (if it could even be called that), Danielle then heard Ryan entering the waiting room and greeting them once more. "There you are, Ryan! What's--" she paused once she saw his less jovial expression. This was definitely not the time for jokes. "Hey, no worries; you didn't miss much. Are you okay though? You don't look so good..." ((Ninja Tacos decided to strike @.@))

1725 Almost as bad as 70 @Link: How should I know? I am just a witness. It's the defendant's lawyer's duty to find all of the evidence. I just happen to have good eyes and spotted it. Does anybody have a Solrock they could trade for or do not need? I just need it for Pokedex completion <.<

1718 Almost as bad as 70 @Link: I never denied that I wasn't there. The video captured me walking by~

1708 Almost as bad as 70 So sorry; I didn't know about this rule of being a witness. (Come on, I was finishing my Hoenn dex!) But, if I have to testify, then yes, I did see ExLink putting a soda can by Iron when said defendant was asleep.

1695 Corona's innocence is going to bite her soon, I bet. But it's too much fun to see her this way.

"I wouldn't worry too much. Corona has Morning Sun should anything happen~" Danielle smiled confidently. "Plus, she's not as helpless as she makes herself out to be." She then turned to watch the first round of Shiro's match, tilting her head slightly at what had just occurred. Unfortunately for Solaris, Corona didn't take the supposed threatening cry very seriously. In her innocence, she thought he was just playing a game. The baby Larvesta echoed his warning, although it sounded more playful than Solaris', before she stared right into his eyes to wait for his next move.

1690 Hiii Solaris!

"Good luck Shiro~" Danielle had cheered from the waiting room as James stepped out. Zared was eager to see how his fellow steel type brethren would hold up against Shiro's two Pokemon, so his full attention was on the screen now. Avis was just being her curious self and took a comfortable seat by the Mawileto view the battle. Corona was also focused on the screen until James walked back inside; she could feel the room getting just a tiny bit warmer than usual... Before Corona had a chance to find its source, she felt herself being picked up by her master's hands. "Welcome back, James! So that's the little terror you were talking about?" Danielle asked as she picked up her Larvesta from the floor. "I could understand if Solaris is a Volcarona but he is only a Larvesta... Oh, whatever." She held out Corona so that she could see who they were talking about. "Corona, say hi to Solaris~" Danielle's Larvesta couldn't believe her eyes! It's another Larvesta! And a male one! She couldn't recall seeing one her kind since she was scooped up into a Pokeball inside a strange building. Corona immediately flew out of her master's hands and hovered in front of Solaris, chirping ecstatically and being completely unaware of Solaris' reputation.

1663 @Turbo: Ah, that makes sense. Still, I didn't expect it to blow up into a "Who's mega will xyz have on their team?" discussion. @Jericho: Glad this thread still got some use for outsiders lol! @Azery: I saw the announcement on Reddit, so I thought I might as well mention it here. I rarely look at the status updates so sorry for stealing your thunder. ^^;

1652 Or Mega Mawile. ;D Naw, there's too many Absols in RPs. Btw, don't forget to get your Contrary Serperior from Mystery Gift if you haven't yet! http://www.serebii.net/games/currentevents.shtml

1649 @Azery: Story of my life with Dittos in cave. > 3 star Ditto >> Has Imposter >>> Runs away after 5 seconds -.- Why is everyone talking about megas all of a sudden? I still haven't decided on mine!

"Thanks~ All the work is done by those two though." Danielle beamed at Zared and Corona, who are now relaxing with Avis as they watched the screen. Danielle could guess where Jacob is but Ryan was more of a mystery. 'Hopefully somewhere where he... No, it won't happen now. His Pokemon aren't fully evolved yet!" Shaking that thought out of her head, she addressed the boys' present problem. "I doubt you could use it now, but Avis told me about this database that contains all of our information and battle tactics. You just need to type in your name and swipe your ID to access it. I managed to sneak a peek at it last night; apparently it was made by some upperclassmen and it is, surprisingly, accurate to some degree. Our battles were also recorded there, so we could view ourselves too."

{Gym Squad} Mamo was not able to prepare herself from the Feint attack, so she took the blow head on. However, now knowing that the team decided to double up on her, she was able to lessen the damage done by Rugson's Flamethrower by firing off an Icy Wind. "Hang in there, sweetie! You're doing great!" Candice encouraged her Mamoswine. She then turned to her Mega-Abomasnow, who was prepared for another strike. "Abbie, go for a Rest and get yourself back up to speed! Mamo, keep them distracted with Attract!" Several hearts appeared out of thin air around the female Mamoswine before they were sent towards the two opponents. Some of them had also made their way towards Abbie and formed a sort of a ring around him. Abbie then tried to rest up, but a spasm of electric then flowed through her. She was fully paralyzed from the Thunder Wave this time. "Oh shucks." Candice pouted as she saw her Abomasnow struggling through the paralysis. She then heard Drake ask for an interruption to the battle. She gave a quick glance over to acknowledge his presence. "Ah, you're one of Team Dusk, right? I recognized that grumpy face of your's anywhere. I won't stop the match - It won't do you or me any favors, believe me - But I could still listen. What's up?"

At this point, if nobody else is around to help Jory and Carissa, I might allow those from the gym to come around to the conclave once the battle is finished. Candice only has 2 Pokemon left (and Abomasnow is almost out of the picture).

1639 @Turbo: I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw Link's post! @Iron: Chaining in caves is just as annoying, so I feel your pain.

"See, Corona? The crowds aren't so bad, right?" Danielle asked the bug in her arms as she and Zared walked back into the waiting room. The firebug nodded happily, giving a wave to the cheering audience as they walked off the stage for the next competitors. "Now just remember to hum that song to yourself whenever you get stage fright again, okay? I don't think my singing would work twice with our next opponents..." Danielle found herself a seat besides Slade once more before she released her Larvesta from her grasp. After handing out two Sitrus berries for her Pokemon to eat, Danielle released Avis from her capsule so that she could watch the rest of the matches. Upon seeing her two teammates getting food, Avis crowed indignantly; she wanted a part of the battle too! Danielle patted the Murkrow. "Did you hear Professor Redwood's rules before? No switches allowed. I also couldn't afford you being electrocuted by a Heliolisk should Nico sent him in, which he did by the way." The bird sighed and contented herself with making a conversation with Zared and Corona instead. Whether it was about that battle or not remained unclear to their coordinator. With her Pokemon now taken care of, Danielle turned to face her friends, although her mind is now beginning to focus on her incoming battle with Henry. "Shiro should be fine. He's like Corona in a way. Once he's determined, he could pull off a few neat tricks despite the type disadvantage." As she looked around her, she noticed that Ryan and Jacob are now missing from the party. "Hey, did anybody see where Ryan and Jacob went?"

1620 Iron, I saw your initial post after mine. Don't deny that you're a nerd too xD

I believe you could choose either one. I just made an actual battle for fun (and I had the time).

"I should have no problem with that," Artemis replied, although there is a tinge of disappointment laced in her words. She wouldn't mind getting to know this Lanturn a little more, since he is the most agreeable authoritative figure in this castle so far. "What about you, Otto and Mac? Do you need anything else from Depth before we leave?"
