Isis thought for a moment. She would like to put up Elliot the torchic to defeat the cherimm but if the bibarel hit her then she would be out. What about the tropius? No he wouldnt fight because the cherimm looked like fruit so he wouldnt attack it. That left Aero and the new pidgey. Aero was more loyal so she would be better. Plus the Cherimm was weak to flying types. Now for Tommys pokemon. Well the Bibarel was weak to fighting so how about the Tyrogue. Isis smiled and looked over to Tommy again. "I'll use Aero from mine and Pai from Tommys."

Tommy walked in conveinitently as he heard his name. "Wha? Hey, my name's Tommy, too," he looked around, as Ora buzzed over his head.
<Tommy,> she sighed, <people will really believe that you have "problems" if you talk to yourself like that. Besides, it probably scares Nina.>
Lyra, who had been dancing behind Tommy, made a rude noise. <Skitty scared stupid little prima, Hiding from her own shadow little Nina, Have a heart attack and we won't care, No one will notice that you're not there!>
<Be quiet, you ridiculous little steel menace,> Ora said sharply. <The rhyme scheme on that one wasn't even any good.>
<Stuff it up your stinger, you pompous bug!> Lyra stuck out her tongue at Ora, bounding over to the message board. <Hey, free stuff! Happy birthday Mr. Big Man! I'll think up a song for you, Just a min-->
Tommy sidled over to his willful mawile and clamped a hand over her mouth.
"Can't you see he's busy? Let the other girl go fir--Yeoww!" The eyes that Lyra turned on him as her fake jaw clamped down on his upper arm were sweet as pie. Tommy quickly let go of her real mouth, and she grinned up at him, not letting go.
<You know, Tommikins (a la Noriko ^^), it's really not nice to crush a girl's artistic talent.>
"All right, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Now please let go!" Tommy exclaimed.
<I'll think about it. After all, I haven't broken skin, now have I? Yet, at any rate,> Lyra sat down (dragging Tommy's arm an inch or two lower) and took up her version of "The Thinker" pose.
<Let him go, or I'll put a stinger through your eye,> Ora buzzed over, glaring menacingly. <I know those aren't steel!>
<Alright, already, sheesh!> Lyra opened her jaws and allowed Tommy to extract is arm.
"I wish Angel was here," Tommy whimpered, rubbing his arm. "I wanna cupcake."
<We need more poison types on the team,> Ora said. <And that shirt does not go with those pants. I think perhaps a blue sweatshirt with a sort of white design, maybe. It would really set off your hair and eyes very well.>

"Okay, we should *really* stop asking psychic pokemon for directions. I mean, we just asked where is route 1for the third time! If you don't know it, just say so!...Why I never...Teleported us to some big city..." Terra continued to angrily mutter as she walked along the new path.
Gale, the gligar chuckled at his trainer's frustration. Anyone can loose his patience over the randomness of psychic pokemon. Even his lovable and peaceful trainer. As they were walking, he then noticed a flier on the wall of some random gym and pulled Terra to read what it said. "....Huh? What's this? A...Jumbo...Sinnoh...Giveaway?" she read the title carefully.
She then read outloud the rules and was shocked as she reached the first one. "Is he...a pervert?" she said whispering to her Gligar, not getting that it was a joke. She then read the rest of it and stepped further back. "...Maybe, this isn't safe. We should really get going, lLet's go." But before she could advance further, Gale had forcefully pulled her to the gym leader by his sharp claws. "<C'mon Terra! Maybe, we' can get something cool! I'm here to protect you, so nothing is going to happen to you! don't worry!>" he said as he pulled his trainer who was punching and kicking in despair.
She then noticed that she was already dragged infront of the gym leader and he really didn't look all that scary, she gave a nervous smile and bowed down. "Um..Happy Birthday! I wish your wishes come true and hope you have many more birthdays to experience." she said giving a wide smile to his castform. After a period of time, she said, "I-I...would like to take a celebrating four generations package. As for the pokemon, I don't exactly know what to get. But, I would like it to be male, the personality of the pokemon should be "intresting", and umm, I guess, group 3?" she said politely, as the wind swaved her tiny ponytails back and forth as usual.

Isis looked up at Tommy. "Oh so your Tommy!" she said smiling. "And go ahead I've done." She stepped back so Tommy could get there. "I'm Isis by the way. Isis Bride. Just call me Ice!"

"Hi Ice," Tommy stared nervously at his feet, not sure if he should shake hands or bow or what. Gosh, she was beautiful. "Um, thanks for choosing to be my partner, I guess. Um... Yeah," He turned quickly to Jumbo, to keep from looking like a complete fool. "Oh, and I'd like, erm that is if I may, to participate in the, um, first challenge as well. My beedrill says we need more poison types on our team, so I guess I'd like the random Sinnoh pokemon to be either a skorupi or a stunky. Er. Yeah."

Isis smiled, brushing away a strand of blond hair from her blue eyes. He could tell this boy was embarassed to be around her. She had that affect on men. It could be annoying sometimes but hey!

Jumbo blinked. So many people all descending on his booth at once! But he was so tall, it didn't overwhelm him. He had an ancestry line of giraffes, after all.
First up, he looked at Isis. "Yep. Good team, you get a prize. One sec while I get your stuff together..." He threw a few items into a paper bag, then printed out a receipt that told her what she got and the stats of her new Pachirisu.
((Isis' receipt: --- 6 rare candies --- two Heal Balls (heals Pokemon upon capture) and one Quick Ball (for every 5 turns in the battle, the capture rate decreases - but it starts out high-ish) --- 2000 pyen --- one Metronome (raises the power of moves if they are used consecutively) --- one pachirisu (stats below) Pachirisu Gender: female Level: 45 Group: 3 Nickname: you choose Ability: Pick Up: has a 1/10 chance of finding an item after every battle Attacks: Sweet Kiss, Discharge, Super Fang, Swift Personality: Like a monotone. She doesn't really show much emotion or talk. She just does what her trainer tells her to, and gets on with her life. She's an intense battler, though.))
Then he looked at Tommy. "Well, since you don't know which, I will choose for you. However, you can choose the group you want it to be, since you're letting one aspect of it be random. Now then, for the partner challenge, your partner, Isis, set up a battle: your tyrogue and her pidgey versus a bibarel and a cherrim. If the bibarel starts off with a Water Gun at her pidgey, and the cherrim starts off with a Magical Leaf toward your tyrogue, how would you try to minimize damage, and what attacks would you send back?"
Then Jumbo looked at Terra. She was a little young-looking... "Group 3? Yes, we have that. Interesting. Very good. Giraffes." He cleared his throat, then went on with it. "Now then, would you like to participate in the partner challenge? Just pick any registered trainer other than Irae Strife, Rain Skylark, Isis Bride, or Tommy Ingren. Then I give you two Pokemon you'd use in a hypothetical double battle, and you'd pick two Pokemon to go up against them. One must be from your team, and one must be from your partner's team. Levels don't matter. Who do you pick?"
((Remember, Yuri, the person you pick doesn't have to post today...so pick somebody who you think might miss the deadline! Be a good friend!
Edit: edited in the stuffs since you changed what you wanted. XD))

Lawrance strolled up, looking around rather confusedly. One minute he was in a gym, the next he was here.
"How did I-" he started.
"<What did I say about questioning the world...>" interrupted his Jigglypuff.
"Right, sorry." he said.
Lawrance noticed the sign and looked it over.
"Hmm, Sinnoh Pokèmon? I know of a few..." he muttered as he approached the rather tall man. "I take it you're Jumbo. Happy birthday." He was silent for a moment, staring at the man. "You're tall."
Lawrance thought for a few seconds before speaking again. "I'd like a Shinx."

"Um, well, I think that group 2 would be nice," Tommy said, knowing that poison types wouldn't be much use against either of the group one gyms, and that he'd get murdered by Bahti if he tried using a poison type in the steel gym. And, hmmm... Magical leaf can't really be avoided, but I'd instruct, um," he tired to remember the flying type's name, "Aero to fly above Pai as he used brick break to hit the bibarel. Hopefully the speed at which Pai's hands move could deflect some of the leaves, and he could take the water gun for Aero, also bringing the magical leaf barrage down on the bibarel's head, as well as his own. Then Areo would use the distraction, 'cause, er, let's face it, a tyrogue striking out at everything surrounded by a cloud of leaves is going to be the center of attention, to sneak up on the Cherrim, and hit it with a close range gust, spinning the cherrim around and around on a merry-go-round ride, type thing, giving Aero time to fly back a little to negate the chance of a powder attack. Er, yeah. It might not really work out that way in real life, but I think that's what I'd do.

Jumbo nodded at Lawrence as Yotsuba grabbed a Pokeball containing a shinx. "Yeah, I can give you a shinx. Would you like to participate in the partner challenge? Pick any registered trainer other than Irae Strife, Rain Skylark, Tommy Ingren, or Isis Bride (and I wouldn't recommend picking Terra Bailey) to be your partner, and I will give you two Pokemon to fight in a hypothetical double battle. You have to pick one of your Pokemon and one of your partner's Pokemon to go up against them. If I think you picked a good team, then you get stuff. If you don't pick well, you get nothing."
He then looked at Tommy. "Sounds good, you win," he dropped a few more items in Tommy's bag and printed out his receipt. Then he handed said bag-filled-with-items-and-receipt to Tommy. "Have a nice day."
This was the contents of Tommy's receipt: --- 6 rare candies --- one Heal Ball, one Dusk Ball, one Dive Ball --- 2000 pyen --- one Smooth Rock (prolongs the number of turns of Sandstorm) --- one stunky (stats below) Stunky Gender: female Level: 25 Group: 2 Nickname: you choose Ability: Induced Explosion: if a direct hit knocks her out, it does damage to the opponent Attacks: Poison Gas, Smokescreen, Toxic, Slash Personality: Kind, but pretty greedy. She will do a lot for money (sometimes including stealing) or valuable things, and hoards money. She wants an Amulet Coin to wear so she'll get more money. However, underneath the greed, she does care about her teammates...although she still might sell them out if the payment is high enough.

Lawrance fell silent, thinking it over.
"Guess I'd have to go with this David guy I keep hearin' about." he answered after a short while. "And as for the Pokèmon, well... my Venonat and his Oddish might make a fairly good team, I think... Then again, I've never used either type of Pokèmon, so I'd just have to hope I don't muck up too bad if I ever do." He grinned, hoping Jumbo thought it was a good team. He did, but if Jumbo didn't, fat lotta good that does 'im.

Jumbo paused. "No, you're supposed to pick the team after I tell you your opponents. Your opponents are a Chatot and a Leafeon...now who do you pick?"

"Sorry, I get lost in thought sometimes..." he said.
"<First time I ever saw it.>" commented Bouncy.
"YOU never saw me in Jhoto." said Lawrance. "Anyway, yeah, I'll go with Venonat and Oddish."

Post by Nyaa-Neko on Apr 22, 2007 21:29:59 GMT -5
Jumbo frowned. "No...I don't think that would be a good team. They would both lose to the Chatot, and nobody would have an offensive advantage. The team I picked was David's Shellder and your Venonat. I'm afraid you only get one rare candy today."
So he plopped one more rare candy in the bag, then printed out his receipt. He then handed the bag, with the receipt inside, to Lawrence.
The receipt stated that Lawrence received: --- 5 rare candies --- two Dusk Balls and one Nest Ball --- 2000 pyen --- one Shinx (stats below) Shinx Gender: female Level: 25 Group: 2 Nickname: you choose Ability: Intimidate: upon entry to battle, attack stat of the opponent is lowered Attacks: Bite, Spark, Roar, Swagger Personality: She's lazy. She doesn't want to battle, all she wants to do is sleep. She's nice enough, but doesn't really do much.

"Ah, the way I was thinking it out was a status effect heavy battle. Put the Chatot to sleep, poison the Leafeon, then Acid on the Leafeon while blasting Confusion at Chatot. If it wakes up, put it back to sleep and repeat. If Venonat's health gets too low, Leech Life is super effective against Grass-types, as evidenced in a fight I saw between a Zubat and a Turtwig." he commented. "If Oddish's health got too low, I'd rely on Potions and Absorb, which may not be very effective against either one, but it still heals the user." He grabbed the bag and grinned. "But, I guess I can't do much once the virdict is set, now can I?"

William Hamlet was enjoying a small break while waiting for a call by the Hospital nearby to say that he could bring home his new friend. But he had wanted to get his mind off that problem a little and as such he was walking around when he discovered this strange place. "Okay... what do we have here, should we go in Cheer?" He was asking a new friend, a Buizel, who had in his curiousity taken one of William's Pokeball and caught himself, since then They have started to become fast friends.
<I say go for it.> Cheer said with a grin as they both continued to look over the sheet of information. <This looks fun.>
William nods his head and enters the Gym and waited patiently in line, trying his hardest to understand the rules that were tacked up next to the Gym Doors.

Jumbo shrugged, threw Lawrence another rare candy to shut him up, then turned to William. "Hi there, do you want to participate as well?"

William was mentally going over the rules and everything... but it was really confusing, he was even writing in the air with his finger as if it would help him think. "Uh... I am rather confused on the second part... and well.... I already have a Sinnoh Pokemon so I think I am fine on that front... but could you help me understand this battle part... I am rather confused."

"If you don't want a Sinnoh Pokemon, we can work out something else. Maybe an item? Are you in need of a Fire Stone, because I have a couple of those. As for the second part, what you have to do is pick a partner - it can be any registered trainer in Jenta other than Irae Strife, Rain Skylark, Isis Bride, Tommy Ingren, Terra Bailey, Lawrence Govan, or David Harlem. If you need a suggestion, just ask."
"Then what happens is I give you two hypothetical opponents you would have to fight in a double battle. You need to pick two Pokemon to fight them - one from your team, and one from your partner's. If I think it is a smart choice (I'm not big on too many risks), then you get some more items. It also allows your partner to extend the deadline to participate."
"So, who do you want to pick?"

((Oh, you know Celyn'd be here, even though he has no Pokemon yet. Plus, I want to save some more members from the deadline. -_-)) Celyn strode into the giveaway hall, a thoughtful smile on his face. As a breeder, he recognized this as a superb opportunity to get a free rare Pokemon...then he could breed a small army of whatever he got to sell off or something. However, there was the question of what to get... He pondered this for awhile, and cursed at the rules. You could either pick the Pokemon or the gender...not both. How annoying! He could choose a rare Pokemon like a riolu (drat - they were all at their base forms, too!) or gible, and risk having it be male. Or, alternately, he could choose to take a female Pokemon, and risk having it be something useless like a shinx. The young man stopped at the table, pondering what to do. Wait...ditto...of course. I could just get a ditto somehow, and breed them that way. Or, I suppose, I could always just sell off whatever I get if I can't find a use for it, he realized, smiling at the castform. Yes...he should pick the Pokemon, then. And if he didn't care about the gender (all he needed to do was obtain or borrow a ditto or just sell it, after all), he should just go with the rarest Pokemon possible...even if it had no gender. "Rotom, please," he stated in a smooth voice. "Oh, and for the partner challenge, I pick...oh, I don't know. How about this 'Kristen Valencia' person?" ((I guess we know what his choice for the partner challenge will be, at least partly. ))
