Jesse rolled his eyes at what he'd started, gasping as Hikari flew into the tree. "Wow..." He laughed, sitting beside Reika. "Kind of...funny..." He smiled, watching as Trapinch bolted for the fountain. "*Gotcha!*" He jumped in, landing right on top of Cloyst's closed shell. And instinctively, he ran off towards a small whole, which he rapidly squeezed into. "*No one will ever find me here...*"
As he had been making himself cozy in a whole, Vulpix used her claws to position herself on a high branch in the cherry tree above Reika and Charles. "*I really wish I hadn't climbed so high...*" She stared dizzily at the ground and gulped before looking back at Cloyst, who was now 'it.'

"*AWWWWW man!*" He mumbled, jumping outof the fountain. He pounced onto Combuskin. "Gotcha!" He said, rapidly hopping away into the nearest Cherry Tree whole.
Reika was watching this, amused by the pokemon's child-like behavour. Soon she took her one strap blackbag and opened it up, looking through it, soon she found her MP3 player, Putting the ear phones on, she slected a song and soon after started to hum along with it.

Charles, also cleary amused by their very child-like behavior, couldn't help but smile and let out a chuckle before looking back over at Reika. "What music do you listen to?" After hearing an answer (XD), he opened his backpack and took out a book. "Oops..." He realized something---he must have put the book from the PC into his backpack by mistake. "Oh well, I guess." He opened Ptolemy's Gate to the page he'd left off at in the 'Center and dug his noise into it, absorbed by the contents of the pages.
Meanwhile, after Cloyst had hurled himself at Combusken, the game was still on, with the Fire-type bird it. "*Meh! Not me, not me, not ME!*" Combusken, arms frantically waving about, darted towards Shimmer. "*You're IT!*" Out of breath, Combusken stopped by the Steel-type, knowing that there were no tag-backs, anyway.

Ooc: God Jesse, you break your own rules! XDD
Bic:
"Anything I think sounds nice really." She said, switching the song over to 'Not Ready to Make Nice'. She hummed along, wanting to sing along, but she wouldn't dare now.

Bic:
Nodding, Charles listened as Reika began to hum the song. "You can sing if you want." At that point, he was turned towards Reika with a large grin on his face, "Really. It'd be nice." And, Combusken, finally feeling a bit more energized, looked over to the motionless Shimmer and waved his claw in front of him. "*Helloooo? You're It.*" And he left.
Ooc: XD

"*It? I know I'm an it...*" Shimmer mumbled, not getting the idea. "*No stupid, your it!*" Sakura cried. Shimmer got her point. "*Okays then.*" He said in a sing song voice, patting Charmeleon on the back. "*It.*" He said, then floated up to a tree. "Me? Sing? You sure?" She mumbled to herself, putting her Mp3 away. "Sure... I guess." She said,going over the lyrics one more time in her head. Soon she started singing. Forgive, sounds good Forget, I’m not sure I could They say time heals everything But I’m still waiting
I’m through with doubt There’s nothing left for me to figure out I’ve paid a price And I’ll keep paying
I’m not ready to make nice I’m not ready to back down I’m still mad as hell and I don’t have time to go round and round and round It’s too late to make it right I probably wouldn’t if I could ‘Cause I’m mad as hell Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should
I know you said Can’t you just get over it It turned my whole world around And I kind of like it
I made my bed and I sleep like a baby With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’ It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger And how in the world can the words that I said Send somebody so over the edge That they’d write me a letter Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing Or my life will be over
I’m not ready to make nice I’m not ready to back down I’m still mad as hell and I don’t have time to go round and round and round It’s too late to make it right I probably wouldn’t if I could ‘Cause I’m mad as hell Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

Charmeleon whipped around, staring at the Metang. "*Me?! No!*" It bolted over to Sakura and poked her with his tail. "*You're it, Saku!*" Not a moment later, the Fire-type bolted and hid off near a few bushes, disappearing from site. "*Phew...I am tired...*" He huffed, hearing Reika sing to Charles. "*Wow...that's good.*"
A smile appeared on Charles' lips and his left eyebrow perked. "Wow, you can sing very well." He winked and turned to stare up at the clear blue sky. "I really like your voice. I do." He looked at his watch and then back up at Reika. "We should get going soon---it's about noon."

Sakura yawned. Sliding over to the Torcoal. "*Tag, 'ur it.*" She mumbled, poking the shell and sliding away toward a Rowan tree.
Reika's face turned four shades of red. "T-t-thanks." She mumbled, shaking her head to clear away the blush before Charles could see. "Just noone? Alright." She mumbled, getting up from hercomfey spot, throwing her bag over her sholder.

Charles instinctively shook his head, "We don't have to leave if you don't want to. We could stay, I suppose. It's not like anything important is happening." He smiled and stood up beside Reika. "It's really your choice, Reika. I don't mind."
Torkoal, realizing that she was too slow to even hope to catch someone, slumped over unhappily, "*Drat! Aww, well.*" She paced herself and walked towards Charles, who returned her and his other Pokémon.

"Well, we better go sign up for the contest." Reika said, also returning her pokemon. "Then make a pit stop at the pokemon center." She added on, looking around. "You know this place better then I do, where's the contest hall?" Reika asked, sweatdropping.

"Right," Charles nodded, placing all of his Pokéballs to their rightful places. "The Contest Hall is kind of far away. It'd take awhile to walk, so we might want to rent a cab. I could call one, if you like." He slipped a cellphone out of his pocket and waited for Reika's answer.

"It's okay, walkings better." She mumbled. "Now that I think of it... Hikari could fly us over there..." She mumbled. Sure, Hikari was a big... steel... steelie bird, and she was big enough to fit two people on her back, so there was one way of tansportation.

"That'd be a lot cheaper than a smelly old cab." Charles joked, remembering back to the dank and odor-filled taxicabs from when he and Jesse had to travel to their parent's office. Their family was rich, of course, but did Jesse or Charles ever get special transportation across the city? No. But neither minded. "And yes, walking is a bit better, too." He looked down the street, through the many people in the crowd, gazing at the many signs that cluttered the area, trying to spot the Contest Hall. "I cannot see it yet---it's still a ways away."

"Thats alright..." Reika mumbled, still trying to figure out which pokemon to use, since her grandmother sent her a Flaaffy for an erly birthday present, she could train it. (Ooc: Be proud of me! Reason why Reika got a Flaaffy outta nowhere. xD) Cloyst and Sakura could do the battles, and Jackie'd be good at appeals. Reika thought, trying to keep up with Charles.

Charles, coincidentally pondering which of his Pokémon to use in the contest, turned to look at Reika. So much focus...raw power, waiting to be channeled. If only she knew what she could really do...if only she knew her potential in this field... He shook his head, dismissing the thought and continuing to think. Vulpix for appeals, and Charmeleon and Trapinch for battling. Sounds good. He shrugged and looked at Reika again. "C'mon, Reika, we still have a ways to go."

Reika gavea short 'Mhmm' before getting back to her thoughts. I'll really need some training done here... If I could get Cloyst to learn a water attack, that'd give me an advatage over Charles... and to acompany him... maybe Hikari? Ohhh, I don't know, I'll just get all my pokemon to do an appeal, then I'll see which one will work best, then after that, for the battling. I'll need the pokemon to balance out with their speed, defence, attack, and accuracy. She thought, then she just figured something random out. "CRAP! I need to catch a fighting type pokemon if I wanna have a half decent advanatge agenst the gym leader!" She mumbled, sweatdropping at the same time.

"He has Normal-type's, h---Reika, it's not like your team cannot squash 'im." Charles smirked, looking ahead, finally spotting a large sign labeleed 'Astra City's Contest Hall!' It had a pouch full of maps, which Charles quickly picked up and scanned. "It's two blocks down, and then three blocks to the right, and one more block back. There's work going on, so that's why it is so jaggid." He folded it and put it in his backpack before looking at Reika. "Don't worry---you can beat him, no sweat." After winking, he looked back ahead at the corner they'd have to turn at.

Ooc: What was he gonna call her? xD
Bic:
"But it is good to have one type of advantage," Reika started. "Because that will help out quit alot, and of corse with me only haveing a Dragon, Steel/Psychic, two Bug, a Steel/Flying, a Water, aFlying, and an Electric Pokemon, thats gonna be kinda hard." She mumbled. "Unless one of them magicly learned a fighting type move like Brick Break." She said sarcasticly.

Ooc: Think about it---he almost called her the name once before...and just the night before this, he announced his liking her. Duh! XD
Bic:
"I can understand, but don't rely solely on weaknesses and resistances, or you will be left in the dust. Just trust your heart---intuition. Once you think you got it, let it take you wherever." He shrugged his shoulders, dismissing his sudden poetic-ness. "Here's our turn." He looked down the bustling street and saw a sign reading 'DETOUR CH,' pointing to the right about two or three blocks away. "The Contest Hall is just down here."

"Okay." She mumbled, she had a different vision in battle, weeknesses and resitance was a good thing to use angenst tough aponents, like a gym leader for instance. She used that methiod all the time, unless she was in a tight spot, then she'd have to relie on her pokemon's speed, attack, defence, and accuracy. She belived in alot of things, sometimes advantage just helped.
Ooc: Why am I explaining the way I battle. XD

"Advantages are great, yes, but it really just comes down to how well you and your Pokémon know eachother. Since you don't have a Fighting-type Pokémon, I suggest just training them and spending some time with them, which you already do." With another shrug of his shoulders, he looked down at his watch. "Almost one..." He pushed his left hand through his jet-black hair and spoke again, "That's what I do, for the most part."

"More like, 'what you do now'." Reika mumbled cooly, not in the greatest of moods. Now... what to do about that gym, I heard the gym leader has a flying type, so if I train Jackie a little... Reika kept rambling in her head about what to do.

He stared at her for a second, but continued to walk, "What do you mean 'what I do now?'" Hesitantly, he awaited an answer. One that would fit, that is. Dismissing it, he looked to their right, "There it is..." He pointed ahead towards the elegantly crafted stadium. The entrance of it looked like a two-story house---white with red shutters and trim, and the stadium behind it was just as great. It was about twice as high---with flags of many colors floating in the light breeze. "Beautiful, isn't it? They just completed restorations about three months ago."

"The first time you battled me, for at least half of it you did out of pure force and power." Reika said, her head gazing at the side walk they were walking on. Then she looked up at the contest Hall. "Well, better go sign up." She mumbled, starting to walk faster.

"So what? I was being insulted..." He smiled sarcastically and started up the twenty-five or so steps leading up to the door of the Contest Hall. Yawning, he agreed. "I have only been in a couple contests before, so I don't really know the entire structure of Contests that take place here in Astra City. I suppose they cannot be too different, though, hunh?"
