(Time-skip it is then!)

After feeling more refreshed after some food and drink, the group decided to head to the Verdanturf Contest Hall. And as usual, the place is popular with various Trainers and Coordinators.

"Man... Even though they just rebuilt this place... The crowds are still as large..."

(Yea, I'm going with the idea that the Battle Tent is still there, but the residents petitioned the Contest Hall to be rebuilt.)

"Considering the crazy things that Coordinators do is it any wonder?" Sakura remarked.

Arthur was looking around in wonder at all the people there.

"Chespin...." Arthur said in awe.

"Don't wander off." Xuangzang said while reading a contest pamphlet.

"Pin!" Arthur saluted and continued to people watch.

"Ooh ooh ohh, a contest? Can I be in it?" After filling his belly with food and drink, Twoey was a bit hyper. "I can prove once and for all that I, too, can be FABULOUS~"

Trak giggled. "We'll see, we'll see. Remember, you're still an oddity and we have another Mewtwo to compete with, and while I'm okay with flattering him, I don't want to inadvertently [acid burst] him off."

Runaway, who was holding Trak's hand, was still quiet as he observed the goings on around him. The Alakazam was still trying to sort through that tsunami of Zoroark memories, and as such, he was a bit distracted.

"Contests, eh? I've tried my hand at them, but I find making PokeBlocks is more entertaining," Taylor said, wandering over to the blenders to make some.

(I want to make Arthur jump on Runaway's head now.....)

"Contests, eh? I've tried my hand at them, but I find making PokeBlocks is more entertaining," Taylor said, wandering over to the blenders to make some.

"Ah yes of course I've always loved making Pokeblocks and Poffins." Sakura said as she followed Taylor.

Quickman · **Reply #1380 on:** January 19, 2014, 05:31:16 AM

Trak started to follow, but noticed that Runaway was slow to join her. She stopped and crouched down in front of him. "Are you okay?"

Runaway took a moment to respond, as his gaze was distant. Finally, he nodded. "Oui."

Trak frowned. "Something's been bothering you since last night. What is it? You picked a fight with a Zoroark and then demanded to read its mind. You've been out of sorts since. What's wrong?"

It took a long moment, but Runaway finally relented. The Alakazam explained everything in a haste, from the first nightmare with the Zoroark and the saw-wielding figure, to what he saw when he unlocked the Zoroark's memories--including the same dark figure with the same evil cackle--to his last nightmare that ended in the exact same way, with him strapped down and his head held still--this time by a metal framework--and that same shadowy figure approaching him with a saw. He hugged Trak and buried his face in her chest, whimpering about how the Zoroark's family are trapped and horrible things are being done to them.

Trak hugged him and rubbed his back. "We'll find them. We'll find them and rescue them."

Twoey, meanwhile, shuddered. "Gah, brain surgery. Been there, done that."

"Now's not the time," Trak shushed him, trying to avoid upsetting Runaway even more.

Joe turned back to see Trak and Runaway sharing a hug.

"If it's OK with everyone, how about we all join a Contest? It will likely take our minds off all the... Tension we had recently. And perhaps, even learn a thing or two-ey?"

Mirby · **Reply #1382 on:** January 19, 2014, 05:48:13 AM

Darunia threw a few freshly-made Pokeblocks at Joe's head just for fun and snickered a bit.

Quickman · **Reply #1383 on:** January 19, 2014, 05:50:14 AM

"Five-second rule!" Twoey picked up one of the Pokeblocks and ate it. "...Tastes like Pez."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1384 on:** January 19, 2014, 05:50:50 AM

Arthur ran under Joe and ate any Yellow or Olive Pokenlock he could before they hit the ground.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1385 on:** January 19, 2014, 05:53:22 AM

Joe cackled a bit too.

"Hey! I'll trying to ease the atomsphere here... No need to waste food!"

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1386 on:** January 19, 2014, 05:59:19 AM

Arthur ate his Pokeblocks excitedly.

"He seems to really like Sour Pokeblocks." Xuangzang observed.

"Maybe when he gets stronger we can put him in a Tough contest." Sakura pondered.

"Yes these sorts of things require some strategy correct?" Xuangzang stated.

"Totally especially since a Contest Appeal moveset and a normal Battle moveset might not mix together well." Sakura nodded. "In fact I think the Cute contests can be the hardest style to compete for since a lot of moves that fall into that category are learned by unevolved Pokemon."

"Fascinating." Xuangzang replied.

Quickman · **Reply #1387 on:** January 19, 2014, 06:37:21 AM

Twoey approached Taylor and tried a few other Pokeblocks. "Hm... tastes like SweetTarts." He crunched up another. "Rolaids." And another. "...chalk. Ugh."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1388 on:** January 19, 2014, 06:44:44 AM

Xuangzang out of curiosity decided to try a Pokeblock himself and picked a Red one.

"Hmmm Jalapeno peppers." Xuangzang said contently.

Mirby · **Reply #1389 on:** January 19, 2014, 07:20:49 AM

"Yeah my team has a habit of throwing whatever they can in the blender, not just berries... Creates very interesting flavors though!" Taylor said happily as Bobert tossed in some mac and cheese.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1390 on:** January 19, 2014, 07:22:16 AM

"That explains the Rolaids and Chalk." Sakura sweat dropped.

Mirby · **Reply #1391 on:** January 19, 2014, 07:24:22 AM

"I'm not even sure where they get half the things they throw in ehehe," Taylor replied, sweat dropping as well as Kovu dropped in some pears.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1392 on:** January 19, 2014, 07:25:54 AM

"Yeah because I don't think any of your Team members has Pickup." Sakura stated.

White-Jet · **Reply #1393 on:** January 19, 2014, 07:31:53 AM

Merrick seemed more focused on the roster of contestants while Jeff continues to sniffle from the surrounding pollen. It seems he still hasn't recovered from the powder storm that had affected most of the town throughout most of the day.

Apprentice, meanwhile, perked his ears at the mention of spicy Pokeblocks and saunters over to see if there were anymore left. Pixie began running her straw-like proboscis about, sniffing out the sweet Pokeblocks.

Quickman · **Reply #1394 on:** January 19, 2014, 07:40:52 AM

Trak brought Runaway over to the stand and offered him a Pokeblock. Runaway sniffed it, then crunched it up, puckering a bit due to the sour taste. But, the Alakazam liked sour flavors and grabbed another yellow Pokeblock, crunching it up.

Twoey also tried one. "Oh wow, sour SweetTart there!"

"We should work on your sheen, so, I think these are the ones that will help with that," Trak found some leftover blue Pokeblocks and offered one to Runaway. The Alakazam sniffed it, crunched it up, then shrugged.

Twoey pointed at it. "That was the first one I tried. Tastes like Pez."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1395 on:** January 19, 2014, 07:42:40 AM

"Your team happen to have some Raspberries on them?" Sakura asked.

Quickman · **Reply #1396 on:** January 19, 2014, 07:46:01 AM

Trak looked through her bag. "...I got a ton of berries in here from the Berry Farm. Lum, Leppa, Oran, Sitrus, Qualot, Ganlon, Pecha, you name it, I might have it in here."

"Oh man, when Susan joined in on the planting," Twoey thought back, "he was so excited for the harvest that he'd burst."

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1397 on:** January 19, 2014, 09:41:03 AM

(A bursting Trapevoir...

)

Joe was looking through his PokeBalls, thinking on who to enter the Contest in. His first choice would most certainly be Raticate... But the others could fare well too. Though Zoroark...

"Hmm... So who are you guys going to enter for the Contest?"

Quickman · **Reply #1398 on:** January 19, 2014, 09:53:10 AM

"Well, I was thinking of entering Runaway, if he's up to it. If not, I could enter Susan," Trak shrugged.

"What about me?" Twoey protested. "I want to enter!"

"I said we'll see," Trak reminded him. "If you want to do it, then we'll get you groomed. I'm just worried about that other Mewtwo and how this might impact him."

Twoey dismissed it with a wave of his hand. "Psh, who cares? I want to be FABULOUS~"

White-Jet · **Reply #1399 on:** January 19, 2014, 10:49:25 AM

"I'd rather watch the contest than be part of it...." Merrick mutters, "Jeff's the one who gets involved in them...unfortunately...."

He trails off as he looks towards Jeff who was struggling to pull off a dazzling pose only to get dizzy and fall flat on his side

"It's no good...." he whimpers dramatically as he flops onto his back and places his fist atop his chest, causing a rose to appear while he rests the back of his other hand against his forehead, "I don't think I can last much longer...."

He then looks towards Merrick who only compresses his lips further with the overwhelming cheesiness of his act, "Dear Merrick.... You're the closest person I can think of to help my beautiful Apprentice win his first ribbon of the year.... Please...make him and our reputation proud...for me...."

Merrick sighs in annoyance as he looks towards Apprentice and Pixie, who were ignorantly chewing on their Pokeblock while trying desperately not to signify any familiarity with the Drama King drawing in nearby female trainers to try and help ease his suffering.

"You could've at least TRIED to convince him to try a different Contest Hall...." he grumbles.
