Thread: Kanto Legacies

Destiny:

Destiny woke up as Iris shut the door to go out for her run. The girl lazily got out of bed, taking a stretch on it's edge. Lodestar had been curled up at the foot of Destiny's bed, she to stretched out before leaping to the floor to accompany Destiny. Destiny worked her way into the bathroom, seeing Iris had already been in there, though it was not particularly messy. After a quick shower, the teen quickly changed into a form-fitting yet comfortable light blue t-shirt and a white mini-skirt. After applying some make-up, she reemerged from the bathroom, Lodestar was waiting outside. Destiny sat on the edge of her bed and pulled on some socks and laced up her converse, which were light blue, like her shirt. Destiny sat in a chair in the main room, Lodestar in her lap, sipping her coffee, which she had just previously made.

Tye:

Tye Taylors had woke up uneasily, halfway off his bed like always. However, this was what his body found comfortable while he slept, so he had slept well. He yawned, getting up and walking over to his backpack. His movement had woken up Cynder. "Hey Buddy" Tye said as he knelt down to his backpack. Taking his clothes with him, he went into the small bathroom to shower and change. Tye Taylors walked out of the bathroom ready to start his day. He wore a white hoodie with silver accents which was zip-up in the front. It was a lightweight jacket with two layers which formed a collar when they were left partially unzipped. He wore *almost* black jeans which flowed down and mostly covered his white skater-shoes. Tye went down to the main-lobby with all his possessions and Cynder, enjoyed some breakfast, then waited for Clayton.

Jon noticed another Trainer wandering in the plants near him. He heard someone following and looked back quickly over the fraction of a second immediately afterwards. He saw some other kid wearing a gas mask with a Koffing and stopped walking to battle him. He looked at his Pokémon and wondered whether or not he realized it. The Shiny Charmander tersely looked at him for an instant in a tacit state to exhibit his awareness of the follower.

Finally; my first serious battle for this year's regional competition.

He turned around and acknowledged the battler.

"So, who are you?"

Their stuff was packed and their bellies full with a good breakfast; now all they had to do was meet up with Tye in the lobby. "Hey there Tye," he said as he approached him, "You all set to get on the road?"

"Yep, sure am" Tye said as Cynder hopped into his backpack. "You all set then?" He asked.

"Ready as we'll ever be," he said enthusiastically, "lead the way."

"My name is Kay." He said in response, his voice slightly muffled beneath the gas mask. He glanced at Koffing, then back at Jon. He wasn't going to waste time with pleasantries. "In the interest of fair game, you should probably stand upwind."

Koffing floated foward, taking his position between the two trainers. "Koffing!!"

Iris was still running until she noticed the battle going ahead with the guy who Iris did not trust at all. "Hmmm nah doesn't matter to me" she continued on running and running back towards the hotel where her Pokeball, map, guidebook and all that was there.

She saw Destiny "About time you woke up" Iris said to her "So when you ready to get going" Iris picked up a banana from the fruit basket and a muffin from a muffin basket.

Destiny:

"Well, I think as soon as I meet, your fashion approval" Destiny said with a laugh. "But yeah, I think I'm ready". Lodestar barked a little to agree.

Tye:

Tye exited the Pokemon Center with Clayton in tow. He turned toward the forest on the horizon, "So, we've got a lot of walking to do...let's make conversation now and get that out of the way" He laughed as he began walking alongside Clayton, Cynder in his bag.

Lequan got out of bed, and sluggishly got himself ready to head out. The bed was...extremely uncomfortable, the end result...a bad mood. As he exited the pokemon center the bags under his eyes, and grumpy expression were evidence enough. He approached Tye, and the other's, not saying a word.

"I'm ready" she made sure she grabbed everything as she then started to walk down the hotel and towards the exit leading a decent path to Viridian Forest. "According to my guidebook, there isn't much at the Forest except your Bug Pokemon, Pidgey and sometimes you may find a Pikachu but other than that not much that would even would warrant me catching any of those Pokemon, it should be good hike for someone fit and make sure to stay hydrated. I have a map, so we should be fine. I mean it is common sense right" Iris explained outside to Destiny while she was flicking through the guidebook that she bought at the Pokemon Center yesterday.

Destiny:

"Sounds like a plan" Destiny replied as she and Iris walked along the trail toward the forest. "I think if you look hard enough, you could find other Pokemon?" She suggested.

"So you said you're from Lavender Town, what's it like there," Clayton asked Tye.

Clayton hadn't noticed the other boy join he and Tye as they walked, but Sawyer did. Shifting the duffel bag on his shoulders, the Sawk slowed his pace so that he was walking alongside the newcomer and glanced at him with a wary eye.

"Doubt it, I go by the books I think I do" Iris shrugged as they continued to walk along the trail. "Shouldn't be too long till we get to the forest, any Pokemon you are looking to catch or something?" she asked.

They complied with Kay's recommendation and walked around in a sort of arc from him and his Koffing until they found a location which they determined would be best. Jon looked at Charmander in a blatantly enthused state and handed him a Pecha Berry. His Pokémon returned the look, then they both turned their eyes back onto the Trainer excitedly.

"Alright; who do you want to call an attack first?" he asked his first rival.

"If it's all the same to you, I will go first." Kay said. He turned to Koffing. "Are you ready?"

Koffing bounced a little in mid-air. "Koffing!"

"Smoke Screen."

At Kay's command, Koffing flew a little further into the air, billowing a cloud of highly flammable black smoke. It drifted in the air, being carried away from Jon and his Charmander, but Koffing had learned to take in to account the direction of the wind when battling outdoors. As he spilled out this noxious gas from his balloon-like body, he made an effort to envelope Charmander within this gas - or, at the very least, create a visual barrier between himself and his opponent. And as Koffing finished his attack, he also made certain to stay out of the smoke himself. While he was not able to determine that Charmander was a fire type, Koffing was aware that he was extremely vulnerable to fire and electric attacks if he hovered too close to his own explosive gas clouds.
