"Whew!"

Cesc wiped the sweat from his brow as he the fire subsided around him. Valentine, his Monferno, looked over to him, tossing a casual thumbs up as the remnants of the flames around him died down.

"You've gotten a lot stronger since you evolved." Francesco Rojas grinned at his Pokemon Partner. "Messes with my muscle memory a bit, my friend. But don't worry, that's on me. You keep doing what you do, and we'll figure out this appeal in no time."

He sat down, picking up his discarded shirt and using it to wipe his face and bare upper body from the sweat. Back when Valentine had been a Chimchar, it had been easy to keep up with his Pokemon's movements, but Monferno was so much faster, stronger, and sharper. It was a good thing that they were training together.

Cesc took a moment to survey his surroundings. They'd chosen a quiet plaza in Arasam, one of his favourite little haunts since so few people seemed to traipse through there. His Aunt and Uncle's tailor shop was only just around the corner, but still there wasn't a lot of foot traffic. There was very little to offer on that street, save for the tailor shop, which had gotten more business since Cesc's last contest win. However, he needed to boost that with a win here in his hometown.

Looking over to his side, he saw that the Ralts he had saved recently had not yet left his side. The small little...creature...had been watching in fascination as Cesc and Valentine trained, and had been reluctant for Cesc to take him back into the surrounding Arasam woods. He seemed interested enough in contests...perhaps Cesc would make him a partner. But with the Contest coming up, it seemed silly to throw him into the mix right off the bat.

"Keep observing, my little friend." Cesc reached into his pack and tossed over a Leppa Berry, which the Ralts fumbled on the catch. Smiling, he watched the little guy reach down and clumsily pick it back up, before biting into the berry with evident relish.

Turning back to the task at hand, he had one more pokemon whose moves he had to sharpen. Valentine, Oberon, and Tybalt were all ready...but his unruly Bardolph was still in need of some sharpening, and he wasn't going to be able to do that without presenting the Scyther a challenge.

"Bardolph. you're up."

In a flash, the Scyther appeared from the pokeball, standing and facing Valentine, who immediately took a stance.

"Bardolph...let's focus on making your moves as cool as they can be."

The Scyther, in turn, looked back at him, rolling his eyes. Cesc had never seen a bug type roll its eyes before, so this struck him as rather amusing. "Bardolph, my friend, you're going to be a contest star. You'll get to fight fantastic opponents, but we won't win unless you also make it look cool as hell. So let's start off with Vacuum Wave!"

Unbreakable Team



How Lucie had gotten out of that wretched, humid place was a mystery to even her: all she did was run a lot in a single direction. Her body ached for days afterwards and she felt like her lungs would explode, her legs would snap and her heart would burst out of her chest. The second she was out, she collapsed out of relief, but forced herself back up; Peanut still needed medical assistance… all of her Pokémon did. She swallowed her ego and asked for directions to the first person she saw, not even thanking them and quickly going to the nearest Pokémon Center, dozing off on a bench while the Nurse Joy healed her Pokémon.

Her Litleo had woken her up by licking her face, and Lucie made a scene when she noticed that he wasn’t healed: all she did was bandage his stomach! She didn’t really understand how bones worked, all she knew was that Pokémon Centers healed Pokémon. “It will take a few months for him to heal, miss, it’s a rather serious injury.”

A few months? Just how useless could this Nurse be? Lucie let her know what she thought of her and walked off in a huff, her Pokémon back in their pokéballs, save for Peanut, who would stay in her arms. As soon as she could, Lucie got away from Fidona. She had no idea where she’d be going, but anywhere would be better than Fidona. Barley was in no way interesting to her, so her aimless wandering took her east, managing to find small villages and towns to stay fed and clean. She even managed to find a nice family who was willing to shelter her for a night, though they didn’t expect her to be such a rude glutton and kicked her out the next day.

The chubby girl eventually found her way to Arasam, attracted by news of contests. She remembered watching those on TV whenever they came on; it mesmerised her to see all the pretty outfits and costumes the Pokémon and trainers would wear, all in the attempt to wow some judges. She thought that maybe she could try it, but she quickly realised that she knew nothing about how contests worked and, well, she had no money to afford basic things like clothes and soap, nevermind costumes and flashy clothes. Her once bright pink and white dress was now a dull, dirty shade of plum accented with dark gray and holes and tears. She’d have to settle on watching, and it bothered her greatly.

Arasam was a very strange place, she thought, much different from her home of Lilycove. Even its placement was weird: in a crater stationed near a mountain. However, it was a fairly pleasant place, and the people were gullible and easily tricked; Praline had managed to steal a larger amount of food than usual without getting in trouble, the Purrloin’s cute pom-pom tail making her look even cuter than her species normally was. However, while it was more food than usual, it still barely even constituted a meal for someone normal, and barely constituted a snack for the gluttonous teen.

It had been a month or two since she was caged like an animal, and Peanut was clearly starting to feel better. Every Pokémon Center told her the same thing: she’d have to wait for him to recover. It annoyed her to no end. She didn’t want to wait, she wanted her Litleo to not be hurt anymore! Peanut seemed pretty cheery though, as he could now play with his three friends without too much trouble.

Smoke and the smell of fire attracted the big girl’s attention. Was there an open-air barbecue nearby? Lord knew she could go for a few dozen burgers right now. She went to the source and didn’t make her presence too known in her disappointment: it wasn’t a barbecue, it was two trainers with their Pokémon.

Lame. But one looked familiar…
