Runaway and Twoey just stared at Jeff, while Trak was looking through her bag for berries to blend.

Twoey leaned down to Runaway's ear. "Think he's trying to compensate for something?"

Runaway nodded slowly. "Oui. Il essaie trop dur pour gagner l'affection de notre trainer." Yes. He tries too hard to win our trainer's affections.

(Oh lol Jeff.)

Joe tries to hold back his laughter at Jeff. Turning back to his PokeBalls, he finally makes a decision.

"Alright, there's only one real choice here. Come on out."

Joe threw a PokeBall, and out pops... Zoroark!? He Growls for a moment, but calms down upon seeing Trak and Sakura.

"What did you call me out for? Taking pity on me?"

"Oh come on... We... I want to help you... And I thought that perhaps taking part in a Contest would help... As will the grooming..."

"... What."

Meanwhile Taylor was participating in a contest of her own. Little did anyone know that the Strangest Pokeblock Flavor Contest, or SPFC, was being held that day! Well aside from the organizers, of course. Special Berry Blenders courtesy of the contest's sponsor Devon Corp. were brought in that had never been used and could mix virtually anything without breaking down thanks to the revolutionary Aggronite Alloy Devon researchers had discovered about 5 years beforehand, the name referencing the mythical Aggronite which had only been shown to exist naturally quite recently. The judges were ready, and the blending began! The 14th SPFC was now officially underway!

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1403 on:** January 19, 2014, 02:50:30 PM

Sakura looked at Zoroark who was still staring blankly at the thought of being in a contest.

"Uh are you sure putting Mr. Zoroark through a contest is a good idea? They require a bit of work and coordination with the trainer and well I wouldn't recommend a Pokemon that doesn't obey a trainer. Not to mention he has to be comfortable in crowds too." Sakura said doubtfully before addressing the Zoroark "Does that sound like something you want to try Mr. Zoroark?"

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1404 on:** January 19, 2014, 03:02:19 PM

"Which was why I thought it would be an experience! Be it good... Or bad."

Zoroark shook his head at Joe's comment, and faced Sakura. Seeing those kind eyes again...

"W-Well... It's not like I don't w-want to... Or anything like t-t-that..."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1405 on:** January 19, 2014, 03:11:18 PM

"Hmm you seem a little nervous, not to mention you probably never seen a contest before have you." Sakura said as she went over to pet the Zoroark noticing his fur was a bit tangled and matted "But I do think some grooming would do you some good and maybe you can try some Pokeblocks."

Arthur paused from his Sour Pokeblock eating and noticed the Zoroark and scurried over with a smile.

"Chespin!" Arthur cried his normal hello.

"Please be careful Aruthur." Xuangzang said as he munched a Siracha tasting Pokeblock "You might make him nervous or irritated."

"Pin!" Aruthur saluted in his way of saying not to worry.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1406 on:** January 19, 2014, 03:16:32 PM

"G-Grooming? P-P-Pokeblocks?

Zoroark was slightly turning red, when the appearance of the Chespin shook him back to reality.

"F-Fine. If it's a request from y-y-you... I'm O-OK."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1407 on:** January 19, 2014, 03:23:14 PM

"It's not really a request so much as I want to make sure you want to try it and are comfortable with the idea." Sakura shook her head "I've seen many a Pokemon just crack under the pressure of a contest or other things. It can be nerve wracking, especially for a first timer. I just don't want to force you into it."

"Ches pin Chespin!" Arthur cried "I think the reason why they get nervous is because they don't know how to have fun! Fun is very important!"

"That might be true Arthur, that just might be true." Sakura giggled.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1408 on:** January 19, 2014, 03:39:38 PM

"L-Like I said... Anything for y-y-you..."

"What about for me?"

"You were never in the equation. Or equations for that matter."

"Awww..."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1409 on:** January 19, 2014, 03:46:48 PM

"Okay, why don't we head back to the Pokemon Center first to do the grooming. I can do it here but I know there's some perv just waiting to snap a picture of me in a swimsuit and putting it in some League exclusive beauty magazine. I mean I've been stalked by TV people before, I didn't even see them in Sinnoh but somehow something I did, even something little as naming a Pokemon gets on there. Seriously I know I don't lead a quiet life but I don't want it televised." Sakura ranted slightly.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1410 on:** January 19, 2014, 04:16:35 PM

"I guess that kinda explains that one Trainer in red that's rumoured to be at the very top of Mt. Silver... OK, I'll go with you! To the Pokemon Center I mean."

"If that is what will make you pleased."

"Awww... Come on Zoroark, be a bit more enthuistic!"

"You... Just... Please..."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1411 on:** January 19, 2014, 05:38:19 PM

Sakura sighed at Joe's attempt with bonding with the Zoroark and failing.

"Poor Joe has his heart in the right place but he needs to take things slower." Sakura thought to herself "I hope this contest isn't going to be a really bad idea."

Pyro · **Reply #1412 on:** January 19, 2014, 05:41:20 PM

For no reason, Pyro's platypus waddled in front of the group. The monotreme stopped, scratched itself and then continued on its merry way.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1413 on:** January 19, 2014, 05:45:34 PM

Sakura stared at the familiar Platypus and titled her head.

"....Where the heck have you been and how did you get here?" Sakura blurted.

"Was that that strange creature that was swimming in the pool in the Saffron City Hotel?" Xuangzang questioned.

"Yes, the one that Pyro had that demanded to be petted." Sakura nodded.

"Interesting....." Xunagzang stated.

Arthur in the mean time ran up to it and stared in wonderment as it was nothing like he ever seen before.

Pyro · **Reply #1414 on:** January 19, 2014, 05:51:29 PM

Firebrawl popped out of his Pokeball and could only shrug... having been by Pyro's side for many, MANY years, he learned not to question such things. As for Mr. Spook, he hovered up to the Chespin to warn it.

"Gar, gengar!" (Watch out for the venomous spur!)

Oddly enough, there was postcard from Fallabor Town taped to its back.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1415 on:** January 19, 2014, 05:55:56 PM

"Pin Pin!" Arthur cried as he pet the Platypus on the head while Sakura went up to the monotreme and picked up the post card.

"Fallarbor town huh." Sakura pondered "Maybe he escaped the gym and went to Fallarbor town?"

Pyro · **Reply #1416 on:** January 19, 2014, 05:59:01 PM

Mr. Spook looked at the back of the card, which read, "The ash is lovely this time of year."

Firebrawl saw it too and pondered, "Ken?" (Could that be a clue?)

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1417 on:** January 19, 2014, 06:00:12 PM

"Knowing Pyro it probably is." Sakura nodded.

Mirby · **Reply #1418 on:** January 20, 2014, 12:01:10 AM

And the mixing stage of the SPFC had finished. Taylor and her team had mixed in some broccoli and cheese with a sampling of bread crumbs and peppercorns. The result was a delectable casserole-flavored PokeBlock with a low feel and very high level. Staff picked up the Gold PokeBlock and delivered it to the judges so they could vote on it. She had a really good feeling about this one. The voting stage of the SPFC had now begun!

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1419 on:** January 20, 2014, 01:22:54 AM

Joe and Zoroark stared at the strange creature in total bewilderment.

"Is that..." "A mutated Psyduck?"

In Fallarbor Town, the ash had began to fall again... Or was it really ash? A man wearing a medical mask was watching intently at the townsfolk as they begun to sneeze from the ash, and shortly after, they all stood still. Upon closer inspection, the glow in the eyes have faded, leaving behind blank discs of colour. The man took out a phone, and spoke into it.

"It's a success."

(So after our Contest break time, plot in Fallarbor! By the time we get there, the town would be a ghost town, with wandering "zombies".

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1420 on:** January 20, 2014, 01:25:34 AM

"Something like that with some Bibarel in there too." Sakura shrugged "I don't think it's a Pokemon though."

Quickman · **Reply #1421 on:** January 20, 2014, 02:29:59 AM

(BLARGLE missed a lot.)

Runaway walked over to the Zoroark and extended his hand. "J'avais vécu vos souvenirs, et je ne t'oublierai jamais. Je suis vraiment désolé. Nous trouverons votre famille." I have experienced your memories, and I will never forget. I am truly sorry. We will find your family.

Mirby · **Reply #1422 on:** January 20, 2014, 02:45:34 AM

The results were in. In 3rd place with a wonderful s'more-flavored Brown PokeBlock with a low feel and medium level was Pokemon Breeder Isaac. Coming in 2nd was Sr. and Jr. Anna and Meg with a medium feel, really high leveled White Pokeblock, featuring a distinct pasta alfredo flavor. And taking the prize was Taylor, who won because of the variety of flavors that meshed together perfectly! Her Gold block got her the Gold!

Zoroark stared at Runaway.

"You invaded into my personal memories... And you should be ashamed... However... You... Have helped alleviate some of my pain... I thank you for that."

He also extended his hand towards Runaway, but looked away at the mention of his family.

Quickman · **Reply #1424 on:** January 20, 2014, 03:02:44 AM

Trak watched the two Pokemon shake hands. "Runaway was trying to help, but you're right, it doesn't justify his actions then or the fight he picked prior. He's too Bold for his own good, sometimes. However, we still want to help you."

Twoey nodded, butting into the conversation while munching on a day-glo green Pokeblock flavored with wasabi. "We'll find them, we'll rescue them, and we'll put an end to those who torment them. Trust me, I know how nasty some people can be, and I want to stop them as much as you. But right now? You need pampered and loved. It'll help." He munched on another and his nose started to run. "Woo! That one went straight to the sinuses! I need a tissue, stat!"

Trak fished out a tissue and handed it to Twoey. "He's right, about pampering you. It'll help a lot. We'll get you groomed and loved."
