  Mirielle paused. This girl clearly didn’t understand how contests worked—in fact, watching her Pokémon waste time running bases, Miri wondered if she even understood battles. Glimmet continued to glisten amidst the diamond of metallic light and the temptation to strike another pose was strong; however, Miri wanted to win and so it was high time they dished out some damage.
  
  “Spray em.”
  
  Sneasel pounced and Glimmet spun, metal claws rang against toxic ore and acid spray was released like ichor from a wound—a corrosive purple spray or acid and debris as Glimmet’s ability activated. Once acid spray burned through Sneasel’s defenses, the ice type would be twice as vulnerable to Ancient Power!

CORTEZ

July 28th, Melemele Island, Route 2, Reina Amaranta Esmeralda de la Santa Cruz Caballero Cortez, Rank 29,574. Team: Hawlucha Blue Demon, Bulbasaur Flora.

Reina took in a deep breath as she jogged to a stop once Vino was in sight. Blue Demon landed safely next to the duo and bowed, proud of his work. Her trainer give him a thumbs up before admiring the little green bundle that had been kidnapped. "What were you doing? Running this deep into the... um, jungle? Is probably not a good idea."

Reina smiled and pointed back to the way she had just came from. "Hey, I think your Pokemon are pretty good for not being focused on battling. Let's go back. I am feeling hungry."

Once they had finally reached the safety of Hau's hometown, Reina dropped her shoulders and groaned. "I forgot they don't server food here until night. Plus, master said, I can't eat anything heavy because that will make me sleepy and lazy." She sighed and pointed at the building that was working as their temporary home. "Want to go to my room and eat some noodles? Then I have to keep training. Maybe I can take a day off tomorrow and we can go explore again, that was fun, yeah?"

  “Hahaha!: The bellow of laughter echoed impossibly against the open battlefield. A large, heavy-set man dressed sharply in military garb stepped forth. Confidence oozed from his every pore—no, that was just sweat—nevertheless, the boisterous man didn’t even wait for the referee, his booming voice resounding once more. “Los Siento, this is as far as you go hombrecito! We’re taking this by storm, Duraludon ¡Venga!”
  
  His pokéball soared and an equally large Duraludon landed, its roar like summer thunder.

"Ew!" G stuck out her tongue in disgust but quickly gained her senses. "Spicy, don't let up, go for the K O !"

Spicy shook the spray off her face and extended her claws out like a famous X-Men. She dashed ahead, ducking her head and targeting her prey.

Slash!

Spicy landed behind her oponent, posing once again with an X over her chest as the rock poison type fell to the ground.

"It worked?" G blinked a few times and then a smile spread across her face. "We did it!" The streamer spread her arms open for Spicy to jump into them. They both hugged it out while her Rotomphone's screen was filled with heart reactions and celebrations. Her stream had gone over 100k viewers, something she wasn't expecting for a non gaming content. G waved at the crowd and ran back inside. Her breathing was heavy and her knees were trembling. The excitement building in her mind as she sat down to catch her breath.

That was insane!

James Argentston, Heahea City, Alola, August 5th, Contest Battle Round 1: Vs Bartolomeu ( CloudySkyLoftyMoon )

---

James had prepared a Pokéball, staring the man Down, preparing to select his Pokémon. He looked through and Grabbed Quacker's Pokéball, and prepared.

"I am a lot tougher than you think, however, this will be his time to Shine! Quackers, Show time!"

An average looking Ducklett appeared in front of James, giving Off a signature quack that this Pokémon gives. Quackers gave a look at the Duraludon, and scoffed, as he's trained against a Pokémon six times that size.

"Be prepared for anything, Quackers," James responded, "Quackers is one tough Ducklett."

Interactions: Reina ( Hecotoro )

​

Vinno sighed as she saw Reina catch up to her deep in the forest, it looks like it was her Hawlucha after all.

"...I was filming a video, Hiiki was sitting around a berry tree and I think she angered some wild Pokemon hoard. Got carried off, that's all." The Swadloon cooed, almost sarcastically in a monotonous voice.

"Yeah...she's...fine. She always keeps her eviolite with her and is really good at using protect." Vinno laughed a bit awkwardly while looking down at the Swadloon."We joke that she could tank an Earthquake from Groudon if she tried, haha."

"And sure, I been just trying to make some short videos to fill the schedules before the contest circuit starts after all. I promised my viewers I'd do one...eventually." Vinno had hoped to get better material or B-roll today, but that seemed rather difficult with what had happened now. Reina seemed busy as well, but it would be a good way to kill some time and get a bit of footage, or even something interesting before she had to prepare for the main event.

  Bartolemeu was not a man of mercy, but one of aggressive action. Regardless of the opponent, he would face them with all his power. Duraladon surged forward, it's tail aglow with a draconic wrath. With heavy steps it planted its feet and swung its tail around. The wind whistle, the grasses flattened, Duralodon intended to bowl over Ducklett in a single might swing.

The contest participant heard the begining of the next battle and decided to step away from the competition a bit. She left the locker rooms and was once again struck by the sun. A contest outside, these people were insane. She wouldn't be surprised if Sinnoh decided to just bomb them one day.

The gamer girl started walking to a stand to buy herself something cool to drink. Her icy blue eyes fixed on the menu and there it was! Razzberry Blast Mt. Brew! Oh finally something good in this place!

G walked up to the cashier and took out her Wailmer wallet. "A six pack of Razzberry Blast Mt. Brew please!" She smiled as she prepared the money. Sadly though, the cashier pointed towards some guy and a Gible, saying he had bought the last one. G's shoulders dropped, of course they had ran out. Her eyes set on the remaining can in the hands of said trainer, envy in them. He hadn't even opened it! Unfair!

Wait, it wasn't opened! There was hope! G walked quickly over to the Silas, her hands behind her back and putting on her pretty streamer persona. "Hi! I was told you bought the last Razzberry Blast Mt. Brew. It happens to be my favorite, would you be willing to sell it? I can pay for another soda in exchange or if you know who I am, a selife or autograph."

She blinked a few times, trying to get her charm across to fish up her favorite soda.

Silas Moore - Heahea City, Alola, August 5th
Silas stared at the person who had been on stage, who was now standing next to him, asking to buy his unopened soda. Cadmus wasn't even paying attention, he was just basking in the sun.

Still, she was asking to buy his soda from him. That was odd, she could easily just get some other brand. He had overheard her conversation with the cashier, and a single glance told him they weren't out of stock of anything else. Yet she specifically went out of her way to try and purchase her favorite from him.

The second thing was that she assumed he might know who she was, and if he had, then she assumed he might want a picture or autograph. In other words, she had reason to believe she was well known enough to be recognized by people.

This all led Silas to a specific conclusion.

'She's a spoiled brat.' Silas thought.

And Silas hated spoiled brats.

He returned his focus to the girl (What was her name? H? Q? L? Yeah, L sounded kinda right, so that must be it!), hummed as if he was thinking hard, and then proceeded to pop the tab on the drink can and down the whole thing in one go.

Once he was finished, he tossed the can in a nearby trash can, glanced at the girl and said, "Sorry, L, or whatever your name was, but unfortunately, I don't really care, and it's hot out. Why don't you just go buy a different drink, anyways? They've got plenty other than... whatever it is I purchased."

G blinked a few times trying to understand what this guy had just done. All she wanted was to buy the soda off him. Did she offend him in any way? Was asking to buy some soda a big offense in Alola? The sun had been burning her skin, the mosquitos attacking her, the crippling weight of the contest on her back, being alone and away from home...All she wanted was a taste of her favorite soda flavor!

The coordinator clenched her fists and watched with a mix of anger and sadness as they empty can was tossed away. "If you didn't even care what flavor it was, why couldn't I buy it off you?!" She exclaimed, looking at Silas' face. "That was..." She looked up, trying to keep her tears from building up, "The last one." Desperation and frustration too over her face as he wiped her eyes with her wrist band.

She finally shook her head and looked at Silas. G wanted to tell him off for being such a jerk, but she was in public eye. The last thing she needed was to get disquilified for starting a battle or even a fight during the competition. She pressed her lips together and took in a big breath. "Sorry for bothering you. Water is probably a better choice anyways." She swallowed her pride and turned around.

For a second, G fought the urge to turn back around and argue with the guy. But instead she went back to get in line at the shop. Her lips trembling as her mind fumbled around the rising emotions that had to be kept in check.

James looked on to see what was about to happen, and he got an Idea.

"Quackers, Steel Wing, just like with Gold!"

Quackers prepared to use Steel Wing, however the moment the Duraludon made Contact, he put up a Glowing Wing, like a sword from a knight, to intercept the Breaking Swipe. At that moment, red Sparkles appeared around Quackers. James smirked, however blue sparkles appeared around Quackers as well. James was sure what happened, an attack drop. After that, Quackers flew back to his respective side of the field.

"This is getting Interesting," James responded.

  "Ha! Don't let them show you up," Bartolomeu crossed his arms. Steel Wing wasn't a big issue, but their opponent had luckily gotten the defense boost. They'd just have to counteract that.
  
  "Hone Claw, then Breaking Swipe!"
  
  Duraludon rumbled, sweeping its steely claws against the length of its tail. A grating metallic warble echoed as Duraludon's natural weapons gleamed with sharpness, Then the beast was off, charging Ducklett once more, ready to bring down the duck with an even stronger blow!

"Feather Dance to weaken the attack then follow it up with an Aqua Ring to Mitigate the blow further!"

Feathers started floating around towards Duraludon as Quackers flew up to watch what happened. James was confident, but not too confident. Another Breaking swipe came in as Quackers was coming down to prepare for the Aqua Ring, however, the blow was softer than before. James was surprised to see him try the same strategy as before, and Smirked. Suddenly, a ring of water appeared around Quackers starting a healing process on him.

"Quackers, you good?"

A loud quacking noise came from Quackers, confirming James was good.

  The most annoying type of opponent, a roach who wouldn't be crushed. Bartolomeu would not be denied—if physical attacks wouldn't work, they'd just use special attacks! "Make their ears rings! Metal Sound then Flash Canon!!"
  
  Once more Duraludon brandished its natural weapons, iron claws screeching against steel scales. The dreadful scratch of metal filled the air and Duraludon roared. From its mouth a steely light gathered and soon the tower beast was taking aim, the sharpness of hone claws helped it lock onto its foe and then the steel canon fired!

James was looking at his Ducklett as the Metal Sound landed. James then got an idea.

"Steel Wing to redirect it away, then Follow up with a Steel Wing!"

Quackers then charged with a Glowing Wing, running the middle, intending to return the attack back towards Duraludon. When he got close, he then sent the attack upward, and started launching Steel Wing at the Duraludon. James looked at Quackers, realizing that, if he even gets past this opponent, he will have to switch.

Bartolomeu watched wide-eyed as Ducklett slapped at the flash canon; surprisingly, luckily perhaps, the torrent of steel energy didn't explode in the Duck's face and seal the match. Instead, the steely wings of the duck refracted the light with surprising effectiveness—though Bartolomeu couldn't imagine the duck had emerged unscathed.
  
  The surprising move had lost him some contest points, but that had only leveled the playing field—James had also lost points for taking those Breaking Swipes head on.
  
  Follow-up steel wings slammed into Duraladon's steely hide and the towering dragon stood strong against the onslaught. With it's offenses reduced twice over, ducklett's steel wing was but a tickle on the alloy pokémon durable hide.
  
  "Show them a real attack—Breaking Swipe!"
  
  The Dragon roared and swung its tail to return a blow. At this rate, Ducklett wouldn't be able to overpower Duraladon. However did James plan to win now?

James knew this Pokémon is strong. And he had two Plans up his sleeve. James Smirked.

"Now, that your point blank, Bubble Beam!"

Quackers then fired bubbles straight at the Duraludon, using the water to attempt to slow down the Incoming Attack and apply chip damage. It Smacked straight on. However James gave him a thumbs up.

"Now Quackers, Roost!"

As Quackers was sent back, he sat down, rejuvenating some of his injuries. James then prepared for his next move.

  The call for roost only draw a bark of laughter from Bartolomeu. With Metal Sound disrupting Ducklett's defenses they would be able to shred right through that new health! There opponent also didn't seem to have much in the way of attacks, Steel Wing & Bubble beam? They weren't bad moves, but they were nothing against his powerful Duraludon! Hardly even a dent in the steel-dragon's health.
  
  "Once more Duraludon, Flash Cannon!"
  
  Duraludon sneered down at the roosting duck, light once more gathering in its maw. Light erupted as Flash Cannon was fired, the beam packed with a wrathful power! The flash cannon flickered unstably, it couldn't be deflected the same way James had done before! Duraludon had adapted.

Esther R. Sophys

August 12th, 8:30 a.m.

After Seafolk Village, Esther had—mistakenly, it seemed—believed Alola was largely similar to Oblivia: a small region of rural folk who enjoyed low-modernity communities. Malie City demonstrated it was nothing of the sort.

Malie possessed none of the island-rural—less curtly, faux-primitive and almost tribalist—charm of Seafolk Village.

As she strolled through the stone-path streets, Esther observed. Wood was still the material of choice, it was easy to source and easy to mold into the necessary shapes required of housing, but sea-floats and rafts were nowhere in sight. Instead, Malie steeped itself in the orient: thin wooden walls enclosed what Esther assumed were tatami rooms, and small houses lined the streets, each topped with a near-identical pattern of green-clay roof-tiles.

According to the pokénet, Malie’s residents were predominantly descendants of, or themselves were, migrants from Kanto & Johto. It certainly showed.

The city was more Johto-esque than Johto itself!

Then again, I’ve only been between Olivine & Cianwood…

As with many of Alola’s other cities, Malie had no shortage of tourist attractions: the Sushi High Roller, a high-end restaurant; the Malie library, which contained records on Alola’s guardian deities; and even a Kantonian Gym, or in other words…a normal gym.

Alola, Esther had learned, implemented their own variant of gym challenge called island trials and if she weren’t on a mission, Esther would’ve been eager to try her hand. After all, the Island trials were the primary method of acquiring Z-Crystals and Esther was no stranger to their power. She’d seen what havoc they could wreak when she’d met Joyce and her Gyarados.

Although Z-Crystals required a short dance and a move that matched the crystal’s type, Malie’s trial captain a dark specialist who gave out the dark-type z-crystal! It was too perfect! Almost half Esther’s Pokémon were dark types and the crystal of ultimate darkness—darkabinium or whatever—was one of the most splashable crystals she could acquire.

Unfortunately, before a trainer could use a Z-crystal, they needed to acquire a Z-ring and in order to get a Z-ring…

Sigh

It would take at least a day or two to acquire a Z-crystal and the ability to use it. Esther wasn’t in a rush, but neither did she have infinite free time. Who knew how long it would take her to find an Alolan Sandshrew? Not more than a day or two, she hoped.

Regardless, she could only afford ONE detour, and she’d already decided what that detour would be—the Malie Gardens!

The brilliant blue waves of Alola crashed into the beaches, reflecting the sunny sky above.

Click

Delphox runs away from the shores, avoiding the water to protect his appearance while Laparas swims into the ocean.

Click

Blurred lines and colors of pokemon crashing into the water after Malamar pushing everyone down, jumping in after everyone got in.

Click

Thin fingers holding the lighter relighting a twig for an upset Delphox, who was still drying from the fall. The water type pokemon played with the sparkling ocean waters in the background.

Click

A group photo of every pokemon getting in frame, the wet, off-black hair of their trainer looking blankly in the camera with an egg in his arm, unfazed with the events happening behind him.

The camera continued to click, even after plunging into the shores of Ula’Ula Island, literally. Water dripped from the edges of the machine, reflecting the rays of the sun. Though, it didn’t seem to mind the water as it keeps functioning anyways. The shutter pointed at the multiple Alolan garden plants as the blue haired photographer wielding it wandered on with curiosity in his pace.

Seated near in an enclosed area near the garden's path, Chintana's camera shuttered around the landscape. “Hmm…very nice,” he mumbled, positioning the camera horizontally to some mushrooms. He continued to take photos for a while before he felt a pokemon's gaze upon him. Suddenly alert, Chintana stopped his fingers from pressing the shutter button and nudged Raichu's pokeball towards the egg. "That should do it," he whispered before refocusing on the photos.
