Jesse followed Kiyana and the jealous Kione to his original table, trying not to pay any attention to their quiet conversation. Being the person he was, that was hard. He heard almost every single word they exchanged, but, being polite, tried to ignore them.
"So..." He said as he sat down at his place across from Kiyana and next to Reggie, "How have you two been advancing? Is the weather holding up for the both of you?" Suddenly changing the subject, like he always seems to do, he asked Kiyana specifically, "Have you seen any Raticate out here? They are offering a large sum for those who help. Officer Jenny told us to spread the word. If you are interested, Reggie has some Pokéballs for them...they are from Jenny. If not, oh well. We can save them for other trainers!"
He took a drink of his rare berry juice and replaced it on the table, careful not to spill his exquisite liquid. "Now that I know Kiyana is 18, how old is Kione?" He looked towards the boy standing near her. "Older or younger?" He was never good with small talk...he tended to interrupt and talk too much about a particular idea or event. Or he just, again, switches the subject.

Kiyana chuckled. "Kione is older then me by a year and a bit. As for the Raticate no. Ashton and I came straight here after a short battle and catching some pokemon. As for how I'm going I think I'm doing rather well, I've caught a Sandshrew, won a Vulpix and have Silver." She replied, watching Kione's Vulpix.
Ash looked at Kiyana and shook his head before leaping onto Kione's lap. /I don't trust her./ He said to Kione. "Well I do." Kione whispered back. "I'm doing alright. I received Ash and came straight here to set up for Kiyana. How about you?"

"Me? Well..." He began again, "I am a 'long-time' trainer. I have been here in the Nahra Region for over a year now, catching and trading Pokémon, trading them to become powerful and evolve, of course. Currently I have in my possession a Venusaur, Lunatone, Solrock, Roselia, Flareon, and Dusclops. Plus a few in my box back at Professor Pine's place."
He leaned farther back in his chair, taking another sip of his berry juice, which, by this time, was only about half gone. "We shouldn't stay here much longer...we better get going to the Pokémon Center to find out if we will be able to stay there over night, which I am sure we will..." He yawned, tired from the past few days.

"I like your thinking Jesse." Kiyana said, referring to the sleeping part. Taking a breath she placed her hand on Kione's to calm him down. She may not remember who he was, but she didn't want to lose his loyalty. Things from her past were rare for her to find, maybe he would be able to help her recover what she had lost.
"So where is the nearest pokemon centre?" Kione asked as he returned Ash to his pokeball.

"Acually," Jesse began, pointing towards the door of the Pokéhouse, "The nearest Pokémon Centre is just a couple of blocks away. I am sure Nurse Joy would let us stay, don't you guys?" He asked the several other people situated around the table. "Okay, then, whenever you guys are ready," he was referring to Reggie and the group, "we'll go, then."
He stood up, gazing towards a bar and cash register on the opposite side of the building. "I'll just go pay..." He wandered off towards the counter, reaching into his pockets for his money. "The Jesse party..." He told the waiter the name that they were 'registered' under at the restaurant. The waiter gazed up at him for what seemed like a minute.
"I suspect only one of you will be paying this? How...absurd." He laughed, ringing up their bill. "Your total comes to 256 ND..." There was a pause," And a tip..." Jesse nodded and handed over approximately 300 ND. "Have a nice time, sir." Is all the greedy man could say as he placed the ND tip into his pockets and the rest into the register. "Have we decided?" Jesse asked the others at the table, ready to leave the rude, yet intriguing, restaurant.

Reggie yawned and blinked sleepily. "Sounds good to me." She smiled and yawned again, sliding out of the comfortable seat and stretching a little. "Oh, but what about the cake?" She glanced at the lit birthday dessert. "Quick, blow it out and make a wish." She winked at Kiyana.

Michi smiled, this was much more exciting than when she was at Mossdeep City. Standing up, she replied, "Yep! I feel much more energized than before! I can't wait to play with that new Cyndaquil I won at that Slot Machine," She thought for a second with a worried look on her face. "Er...Runty," she said in a tone of slight regret, "Your not gonna get all rivally with 'im just because he's a fire type and you're ice....right?" Runty replied with a face of curiosity and, "Snorunt, sno? (Well it would depend, right?)" Strangely, Michi understood what Runty was saying and thought to herself, "Do you mean his personality, or something like that...?" Michi just shrugged the thought off and headed out the door, not waiting for the large amount of people behind her.

Jesse stared as Michi just walked off with Runty. "Well..." He cleared his throat, looking at the others, "I think that means we are supposed to go, too." He joked, making sure he hadn't left anything on the table. Along with being rude, the workers here at the Pokéhouse tend to keep missing items... Seeing that he had everything, he stood up again and pulled his jacket down over the top of his pants a little bit. "Who all is ready to go?" He lifted his hand for a moment and waited for the others, regardless of the no-longer-here Michi.

"Almost." Reg replied tiredly and signaled to a passing waiter, who immediately sniffed and left to go get her coat. As he brought it, one of the trailing sleeves almost dipped in someone's soup. Unaware of the near mishap, the waiter shifted his strut a little and avoided the tomato and basil by inches, before languishly depositing the vintage long coat in Reggie's arms with an oily smile. Reg smiled back in relief, double checked the sleeve, then pulled the coat on gracefully.

(boo hoo i missed heaps aswell x3)
Ashton stood up and rubbed his eyes sighing. He was just quietly listening to the conversations around him, sometimes glancing over at Kione. 'How strange' he thought and then patted Static. "Thanks very much Jesse." He mumbled shaking his hand. Shifting his feet nervously he looked at everyone and smiled a little. "Oh i never knew it was your birthday Kiyana! Happy birthday!" Ashton said to her grinning like an idiot.

Tsukino quickly got up. "I'm ready to go," He said just as quickly. Shadow barked his agreement as well "Pooch!" Shadow padded quickly along with the rest.

"Thanks" Kiyana said with a smile. Leaning over she swiftly blew out the candles making a wish. What was her wish you ask? For her to be able to complete the task set before her successfully.
Kione quickly cut the cake into several slices before placing them into a box he had brought with them. Those were for the pokemon, and two larger slices were for him and Kiyana. "This is for you." Kione said softly, handing Kiyana a small box. Kiyana looked Kione in the eyes before opening the box. Inside was an old pair of silver earrings with a topaz stud in the middle, with a larger ruby pendant in between them. "Kione they are gorgeous." She said throwing her arms around him. Kione grinned. "When we get to the pokemon centre I'll put the pendant on you. Do you remember the earrings?" Kiyana shook her head. "No, but they are gorgeous. Perhaps you could tell me about them on the way there?" Kione grinned and called Ash to his side. Kiyana smiled inwardly. One down.
(haha, I have found that Beige turns up better on dark blue then white ^_^ )

Blinking, he looked at Kiyana and Kione and sighed "Maybe we should leave them alone huh..." He whispered to Static and laughed a little to himself. "Pi" Static agreed nodding her head. Ashton waved goodbye to the others and headed out the door. "Oh that was so good, wasnt it Static!" Ashton sighed with content and Static rubbed her little stomach. "Pichu!" She shouted agreeing with Ashton. "It was great that Jesse paid for us!" Static nodded and snuggled into the crook of Ashton's arm. He laughed a bit and petted between her ears. "Chuuu!" She giggled and then yawned closing her eyes falling asleep. Ashton soon entered into the pokemon center and happily handed over his Pokemon to Nurse Joy so they could have a good nights rest. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and headed off to bed to sleep, awaiting the next day.

Jesse, more tired than ever, walked towards the door at the far end of the restaurant. "I don't know about you guys, but I am going to go to the Pokémon Center and rest up..." He yawmned as he began walking, tired from the last couple days of new trainers and battles. He turned the large handle on the door and pushed it out. As he opened it to his level, a large exploding noise could be heard from outside, followed by several people screaming.
Not a minute later, Jesse rushed inside, "It's Team Opal." A look of concern was spread across his face as another loud bang could be heard from outside. "And I think they are making their way towards the Pokémon Center..."

Kiyana bit her lip, this wasn't supposed to be happening. She tried to work out what would be the best method of attack. If only her pokemon were stronger. "Looks like it's more training for you three." She murmured to her pokemon before running towards the pokemon centre.
Kione sighed. "I really need to get her to stop doing that to me." /You think?/ Ash said jogging along side his trainer. /And why exactly are we going? Last time I checked, I don't battle./ "That may be so, but at least we can try and help in some way." /No way! I refuse to get myself dirty just to help you win back your old girlfriend./ "Well that's a shame. I think she might have a cute little Vulpix all of her own." Kione chuckled at his pokemon's reply. I knew there was a reason Kiyana and I insisted on growing up around pokemon He thought triumphantly.

OOC- I dunno, trying to steal pokemon?
Michi stared at Team Opal for a second, wondering who in the Pokeworld they could be. She looked at Runty who responded with a nod and a Powder Snow at the Team Opal. Michi and Runty had no idea who they were or what they were doing but the weird evil-looking costumes gave them the idea they were up to no good.

Ashton jolted awake from his sleep. "What in the world?" He mumbled rubbing his eyes and glancing around. He stood up and walked over to the window and peered outside. Smoke and dust clouded around outside and many figures running. Ashton grabbed his bag and put his hat on and headed out to the lobby. Nurse Joy ran out from behind the counter and handed his Pokeballs to Ashton "here you might need these" She said nervously and ran back behind the counter and into the back to check on the Pokemon. Ashton pushed open the doors and ran outside ready for anything. He blinked and coughed seeing some strange people in odd outfits heading for the Pokemon Center. He gasped and picked up his two pokeballs contianing Beldum and Static and threw them into the air "Go Pokeballs!" He called and stood ready awaiting for what comes next.

"Go, Roselia!" Jesse cried the moment that he stepped out side. He looked at the horrifically large robot that two members, Eric and Mae, were sitting. "Ha! That's it?" Mae laughed as Jesse picked a tiny grass Pokémon. "What's she going to do?" She let out a laugh and stared down at him, pulling a lever. A small hatch opened on the front of the machine and a bright light was emitted from it. Jesse watched it for a fraction of a second before realizing what it was. "It's an artificial Hyper Beam!" He cried, diving down to the ground as a beam of pure energy was released, whizzing just a few feet above his head.
Looking up again, he rubbed hir now warm hair. "That was too close..." He shook his head and gathered his wits. "Now, Roselia, use Poison Sting!" A couple dozen barbs shot out of Roselia's flower-like hands and collided with the robot, only making a couple of scratchs. "Rose?!" She cried, taking a few steps back. "Charge for a Solar Beam! Hurry!" Her trainer yelled and she obeyed, letting her Rose hands gather sunlight.

Reg mumbled as the others rushed outside, her eyes half closed as she began to leave as well, almost missing the door in her drowzy state. Taking one critical look at the problem, she remained calm, if only because she was too tired to panic.
"Jesse, perhaps if you brought out your Venusaur, he could use vine whip and wrap it around the legs of this beasty," She guestured to the robot, "then pull them out from under it." Landing it on it's back so it's 'attacks' point skyward and are useless. "Snover could use grasswhistle on those two when they fall off." She pointed to the guilty perpetrators standing on the robot smugly.
Reggie, on the other hand, looked slightly annoyed, feeling this 'Team Opal' could not have come at a more inappropiate time; she'd rather be in a nice warm bed sleeping. Sighing, she placed her hand on her forehead and added, "Perhaps Budew's stun spore would be more deserving."

Nodding, Jesse through his Pokéball containing Venusaur. "Go!" He cried as the monster appeared. "I have an even better idea, though." He paused with a smile on his face, "Use Frenzy Plant!" As the six or seven giant spiked vines appearre, Venusaur growled loudly. "Now!" Over half of them shot out and grabbed the machine, tipping it over onto its back. "Now, Roselia, use Solar Beam!" A beam of sun energy shot at the machine, exploding on impact. "Your turn, Reggie." He laughed, watching both Eric and Mae flail around hitting levers and buttons, trying to stand the machine up.

Reg's mouth formed a mischievous smirk as she took a ball from her belt and tossed it up, an unrecognizable shimmering light poured out and she caught the pokeball as it came down. The light contorted a few times before materializing into her Budew, all this in a matter of seconds. "Let's show 'em what you got sweetheart." She smiled, feeling a bit more awake and ordered a stun spore, which Budew happily obliged. Speedily the yellow spores clung to every surface of Eric and Mae, sending jolts of electricity through their viens, paralyzing them. Though there was still a chance of them getting away, paralyze only worked twenty-five percent of the time, so she brought out Bulbasaur and bound the two grunts from Team Pearl together with vine whip. Vaguely wondering if grasswhistle would have been more effective until she noticed the two twitching everytime a jolt ran through them and smiled in wicked satisfaction. "Nice teamwork Jesse, when you mentioned having a battle after we ate I didn't think we'd be battling on the same side." She teased. "Should someone get Officer Jenny?" She began to frown, this seemed a little too easy. But they were just grunts by the looks of them, so maybe there was nothing to it. I wonder what they're doing here? Narrowing her eyes she made her way over to the two and stood before them, hands on her hips, looking them over with a disgusted curl to her lip. She looked hostile, she felt hostile. "And just who...are you. What gave you the right to come in here scaring people!" Reg used the same tone her father used when he was intimidating people though she didn't realize it. And the wind was starting to pick up again... The two from Team Opal looked a little chilled as well, catching the edge of Michi's powder snow a few minutes earlier but being too far up to do much damage at the time. Ashton's Pichu and Beldum were out as well, Reg kept that in mind, her quick analytical thoughts flying a million miles per second, another trait she gained from her father, who didn't become a Liutenent just because he had a loud voice.

(perhaps there could be a special item being held in the pokemon centre)
"You idiots. You're ruining everything!" Kiyana yelled at the two captives. She glanced around at everyone, before taking a breath and calming down. Kione stared at Kiyana and walked up behind her, placing the pendant around her neck. "There, now you're even more gorgeous." He said, trying to stop her from yelling at the strangers. What is her problem? They are the enemy He thought to himself.

Jesse laughed, and not just because of what Reggie said about the battle, but because of Team Opal being bound together. "Great team work, you guys." Both Eric and Mae twitched again from the Stun Spore. "And thank you, Budew." He looked down at the tiny grass Pokémon. "And Bulbsaur, you didn't do too bad, yourself!" He smiled, taking out two Pokéballs. "Great job, Roselia. You too, Venusaur. Now, return!"
Replacing the balls onto his sash, he walked closer to Reggie. "I suppose we best call Officer Jenny, then. I can probably run and get her. Be careful, though. Don't let them use their Pokémon under any circumstances." He turned and sprinted towards the police station in search of Officer Jenny. Afterall, they wouldn't be able to bring the Team Opal goons their without some type of help.

Reggie nodded, glaring at the pair darkly. They tried to reach for their poke balls behind their back where she couldn’t see it, but Bulbasaur growled and tightened his grip. “I’m Eric.” The male grunted, wincing. “I’m Mae.” The female added, gasping. “And we’re from Team Opal!!” They yelled in unison proudly. “I don’t care if you’re from the planet Jupiter,” Reg snarled, causing them to flinch, “you don’t just go around-”
…………
Her breath caught in her throat and her eyes went wide. She tried to collapse but found her body suspended in the air, frozen, surrounded by a crushing purple-ish glow. Wha-? Gritting her teeth in pain she cried out in psychic’s hold. Mae and Eric grinned, till her bewildered Bulbasaur took out his anger on them and squeezed harder. There was a third member of this rag-tag squad from Opal, a young boy with violet hair and light lavender eyes. His uniform was two sizes too big and a large, cruel mouthed Jynx stood at his side. The psychic Pokemon brought Reg high in the dark, night air, then let go, sending a powerful ice attack at Budew and Bulbasaur, the two grass Pokemon fainted instantly and Jynx caught Reg a split second before she hit the ground. Engulfed again in the purple-ish glow, Reg screamed in frustration as she saw her fainted Pokemon and began yelling threats at the boy who just smiled coldly in return. Then he looked at his partners, a bit disdainfully, and spoke. “The item was removed yesterday, we came too late. Move out now, I’ll catch up.” Ashton’s psychic/metal Pokemon had caught the collector’s eye. “I’ll catch up.” Mae and Eric ran off as the boy pointed to Ashton. “Give me your Beldum.” He ordered calmly, as if it were the most reasonable request in the world. Jynx set Reg on the Pokehouse rooftop, out of the way, then focused on the new prey, just in case Ashton chose to resist. The roof was a low one, but still not a healthy height. Reg launched herself off of it and onto Jynx’s back. The boy looked shocked, even more so when she left the Jynx to come after him. But just then, Jynx used ice beam on Reg and froze her in an edgy sparkling ice crystal, her hard eyes staring blankly, her mouth a grim, pouting frown, her body in mid-kick. A little shaken, the boy regained his composure but saw Jesse coming back with Officer Jenny; taking one last look at the Beldum he ran off with Jynx, out of sight in the night.

OOC- Just asking but how could the pokemon use Solar Beam at night?Sorry, but I had to ask.
BIC-Michi stared, wishing she could've done more. She just decided to suck it up, figuring moping wouldn't do anything. Michi called Runty back to the position on her head. Runty looked down in defeat, working on a logic different than Michi's. They would just have to wait until the next time they Team Opal.

Ooc:; We'll just say, that Roselia (along with other grass/plant types) can store solar energy, just like a cat can store light in it's eyes, so when it's dark out it can see in the dark. ^^

OOC-Ooooooooh.
Bic- Michi realized that Reggie was still frozen so she let Cyndaquil out of his pokeball. She approached the small Cyndaquil and told it, "I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself yet but..." Michi made a small gesture towards Reggie and the large crystal of ice saying, "Could you use ember and unfreeze my friend there?" The small fire pokemon nodded and breathed a fire from it's mouth, melting the now unfrozen Reggie.
