Pokémon battle! And we'll see who is the better trainer! And we'll see who has the bigger Pokéballs!

[mischiefbreeder]

Who: Gold (mischiefbreeder) and Silver (tsuntrader), plus any spectators!
What: Silver issued a battle challenge to Gold, who accepted.
When: Saturday afternoon
Where: The Battle Dome
Summary: Gold and Silver have been in Luceti together for a year and yet have never had a single Pokémon battle. Deciding it's time to rectify, they head off to the Battle Dome to throw down!
Rating: PG? I mean, it's Pokémon...
[Gold had been anxiously waiting for this day. Sure, the standard format for Pokémon battles involved just battling whenever your eyes meet, but if they did that, there'd be constant battles all day, every day. Therefore, these things had to be planned.

...Besides that, Silver was his rival. Always has been, always will be. That makes this battle special. A battle to settle old scores... No, a battle to determine who's the best trainer out of the two of them, and furthermore... To show everyone just how it's done.

It was time. Their battle lies ahead.]

[huh-- that outfit. New girl? She looks pretty absorbed in the battle, though, enough to make her looks like she knows something-- so maybe she's another Trainer herself.

Ingo will go ahead and approach her after the battle, when she's less preoccupied.]

You seemed pretty engrossed there, Miss. [Enough to ignore the fact that you just arrived at the middle of nowhere, apparently....]

[barrette]

[ everything is battles and nothing hurts, even when dropped in an unfamiliar location!

she looks over and then up (way up, how can you be so tall, Ingo). ]

A good battle always gets my attention!

[infinitefrown]

[(because genetics.... sob, he's over a foot taller than her.)]

Ah, good. You've seen them before, then. Good to see more Trainers here.

[...don't bother explaining yourself or anything, ingo]

[barrette]

Who hasn't?

[ she looks surprised for a few seconds before looking even more surprised! ]

Oh, right! Where is here?

[infinitefrown]

[Ah, yes. There we go.]

You're in Luceti, Miss. [Giving the welcome speech is so awkward...] It's an [..."enclosure" sounds a bit too scary right off] area filled with people from many different worlds.

Some of these worlds haven't had experience with Pokémon; hence my approach.

[barrette]

[ que ]

How... How did I get here?

[infinitefrown]

[lo siento...]

Ah, as to that.... [welp] I can't say I can fully answer that. [There's the Malnosso people and all that jazz, but as to how exactly she got there, he's not sure... Uh....] You may be able to get a better explanation from the guide that may have shown up with you...

[...Come to think of it, did she get a journal when she showed up, too?...]

[barrette]

You mean you don't know?

Guide? You mean that book?

[infinitefrown]

Partly. I believe you would receive a more thorough understanding by reading it.

Yes, one of them-- it explains much of what we know about Luceti. [At least-- he had one.] The other is a journal-- a device to access the network of people here, if you will.

[barrette]

I think I put them with my clothes...

[ which she put down... somewhere around here because the battle was attention consuming!! looking around for it now! ]

[infinitefrown]

[Ah... Well, he'd better help.....??

And then Ingo was looking for discarded girl-clothing.

Uh......]

[barrette]

[ hmmm... where is it... oh! there it is! she quickly dashes over to pick up the bundle and dashes back over to Ingo. ]

[infinitefrown]

[Oh, good. That was quick!]

Found everything, Miss?

[barrette]

[ she gives a dismissive sort of wave. ]

My name is Dawn, you don't need to call me 'miss'.

[infinitefrown]

Oh, yes-- introduction. My apologies, Miss Dawn. [yep, still using miss. oops] I am Ingo, a Subway Boss. A pleasure to meet you.

[barrette]

[ reaching up to tap him on the chest with a finger. ]

Just Dawn, not Miss Dawn. And whats a Subway Boss?

[infinitefrown]

[Err-- well, okay...? GOSH, THIS GIRL IS AWFULLY FRIENDLY. His expression flickers to mild confusion, but only for a second before it returns to normal.

and rats... no one here knows the subway... FOREVER ALONE]

The head of the Battle Subway in Unova. If Trainers can defeat twenty-one opponents, they face me. [On some lines.]

[barrette]

[ YOU MEAN INGO IS AWFULLY FORMAL, MISS SOUNDS SO OLD. ]

That sounds exciting! If I ever go to Unova, I'll pay a visit.

[infinitefrown]

You'd be welcome to. Always good to have more visitors. [yes please come EVERYONE VISIT THE SUBWAY OKAY]

..Aah. But before you think about Unova, I suppose you'll have to adjust to here.

[Yeeah......]

[barrette]

It shouldn't be too hard. I think these [ gesturing at her wings ] are going to be the hardest to get used to.
