	Jupiter Roswell: 	Readyyyyyyyy!
Kaorin Sakura: 	May 24th, Team Oak finds themselves not entirely drenched to the bone for once. Every member is resting peacefully in their own bedchamber inside of the Breeder's home where a pleasant aroma hung in the air. The morning light breaks out from the windows into each bedchamber, signaling the waking hours.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Weather: Sunday Thunderstorms 95 degree F Expected high, 78 degree F Chance of rain 70% Wind SW at 16 mph
Danny has connected.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Did someone tell me to wake up...) Jupiter buzzed, still snoozing, fast asleep in the corner of the room, as usual. No amazing dreams tonight, just nice uninterrupted rest.
	Danny Green: 	Danny, asleep, woke up to a spray of light from his window.
* Crystal is sleeping in a sitting position, her back against the window. She wakes up as the sun rises, waking with the sun.
	Venec: 	Venec was sleeping heavier than usual that day.
	Danny Green: 	"Five more minutes!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Okay, okay, I'm up!) Jupiter suddenly sprung awake, spurred on by an imaginary voice from some other world. He looked over and saw Cepheus and Grace still sleeping, each leaning on the other. (Aw, how sweet,) he thought. (I don't have the heart to wake them up...)
	Danny Green: 	Danny got up, ready to start eaching some PokeMon some moves.
* Lucy turned from the window and stepped over to Venec, nudging him awake with her tail.
	Lucy: 	"It's morning."
	Venec: 	Venec stretched out and sat up, "Huh... I guess the sun's not working today either." he said half asleep.
* Grace Appara frowned and cuddled up closer to Cepheus as the suns rays hit her.
	Danny Green: 	Danny, in his blue pyjamas, which was a night gown, went to Venec's bedroom chamber.
* Lucy waved to Danny.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Ooh, cloudy weather!) Jupiter said gleefully, looking out the window. (It might be nice and thundery outside! Woohoo!)
	Lucy: 	"Morning, Green."
	Danny Green: 	"Morning, Lucy-Goose."
	Danny Green: 	Danny gave her a big smile.
	Danny Green: 	"Morning Venec. I had a psychic premoninition that I needed to tutor one of your PokeMon."
	Cepheus White: 	(Is it morning already?) Cepheus was thinking. (I can hear Jupiter whirring incessantly already.) He opened his eyes very slowly, but didn't dare move. "Jupiter, what time is it?" he whispered.
* Crystal gets up slowly, stretching. "It's still cloudy...?"
* Jupiter Roswell responded by pointing one magnet straight up, and the other at a 120-degree angle to the side.
	Miranda: 	"Looks like it's still raining."
	Cepheus White: 	"Almost eight o'clock?"
	Cepheus White: 	"Weather same as always, it seems. Hot and cloudy. ...If it gets as hot as it did yesterday, it will be very...unpleasant."
	Venec: 	"Hm?" Venec looked over to the pile of pokemon sleeping next to him. "Ah yes, Momo was feeling up to it." He nodded to the lopunny.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(We're not in Kansas anymore!) he whirred. (It's time to get up; we have amazing things to do today!) Jupiter said, with an unusual enthusiasm, given how his time in the spotlight was over.
	Cepheus White: 	"...You almost awake, dear?" Cepheus whispered, turning to the side.
* Grace Appara nodded to Cepheus, "I'm awake. Just don't want to be."
* Grace Appara stretched and yawned before floating to her feet.
	Grace Appara: 	"It's so gloomy outside. Kyogre must hate this town."
	Momo: 	Momo woke up slowly as well to go learn from Danny.
	Cepheus White: 	"Yeah, I agree. I'd rather be sleeping in too."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(But it's so cloudy outside, guys! We might even be in for some thunder!)
* Crystal pouts a little, before shrugging and looking through her team. "Let's see... I think I'll take Eli for this gym." She looks at Miranda, "No offense, but... I want someone I'm sure I know a lot about. I don't want to risk losing anyone."
	Cepheus White: 	"...You're way too excited about this."
	Miranda: 	"Fine by me, Crysa. They'll probably want me to be in my ball though. Most Gyms are big on that sorta thing."
	Danny Green: 	"I will be starting my tutor lessons outside for any PokeMon listening," Danny said.
	Danny Green: 	Danny noticed the rain, "Second thought, no."
	Danny Green: 	"We're doing everything in the kitchen area."
	Crystal: 	"It seems like pokeballs are pretty comfy, so it should be fine, right?"
	Miranda: 	"I don't mind. I just don't like staying in it."
	Miranda: 	"But, for a Gym it's alright."
* Jupiter Roswell rushed outside to enjoy the cloudy day. He was just waiting for it to start thundering. He hadn't seen a day like this in ages.
	Cepheus White: 	"...heh. We'll let him have his alone time. Let's see how the others are."
Kaorin Sakura: 	The weather was stormy as it had been the day previously.
	Crystal: 	"Alright. I'll put you in the ball when we're at the hall, okay?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Thunder roared, winds howled and blew all around. The rained was thick and heavy, clattering against the muddy ground almost like it was raging against the soil itself.
DNA: 	And thus, Cepheus went into the main hall!
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(THIS IS SOOOOO COOOOOOOOOL!!!)
* Miranda nodded, "Alrighty."
	Danny Green: 	"I will now tutor Pokes," Danny said.
	Venec: 	Venec got himself dressed, noticing his clothes were mysteriously cleaned once again.
	Cepheus White: 	"Tutoring Pokemon, Danny? What are the prerequisites?"
	Momo: 	Momo nodded with a determined look.
Danny Green: 	"I must check the PokeMon and see if they're ready," Danny said, "and if they're not, too bad."
	Cepheus White: 	"Did you tutor Jupiter yesterday?"
Danny Green: 	"Nope."
	Cepheus White: 	"I heard he got co-erced into talking to you...?"
Danny Green: 	"Oh, that, maybe..."
Kaorin Sakura: 	As far as things went
Kaorin Sakura: 	Tutoring occured between games or at the end of the last session.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Although if you want to rp it out, that's perfectly fine.
Danny Green: 	Jupiter Yesterday:
* Danny rolls: 1d20+6 => 7 + 6 = 13
DNA: 	I know Jupiter got to 40 between last session, although I just got another peep that got to a 5 level
DNA: 	(although kaorin told me Jupiter got the move)
Avara: 	i was using a LMHYWT last time to bonus the jupiter roll +2
Danny Green: 	"Unfortunately, Jupiter didn't learning ANYTHING."
Avara: 	15 isn't a success?
Kaorin Sakura: 	It is. I think Danny is just being Danny,
	Jupiter Roswell: 	>_
	Cepheus White: 	"I think I have another guy who might be able to benefit from your tutelage."
Mike has connected.
Momo: 	(But Dandan was teaching me...) Momo pouted to Cepheus.
	Cepheus White: 	"You can go first."
Danny Green: 	"Le's see it..."
Danny Green: 	"But FIRST!"
	Momo: 	Momo bounced happily, easily reaching the ceiling.
Danny Green: 	Danny ran over to Momo. "I must teach this one," Danny said, "this looks like one with some guts!"
	Grace Appara: 	"Is Danny the only one here that can teach moves?"
	Momo: 	Momo nodded eagerly.
	Cepheus White: 	"Not sure. Why do you ask?"
* Danny rolls: 1d20+6 => 7 + 6 = 13
	Lucy: 	"I can teach how to be a dog.."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Unless there's a LMHYWT going on in there, that fails.
Danny Green: 	Danny looked a little upset, "You're not as strong as others, but I will work hard for you."
Danny Green: 	second try:
* Danny rolls: 1d20+6 => 11 + 6 = 17
Avara: 	using +2s for danny's lessons, yes.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Success on both accounts, thanks to Crystal.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Momo learns two moves.
* Crystal walks out of her room and pokes Danny's head, giving him a couple tips.
Danny Green: 	"Shoosh! I'm the tutor!
Danny Green: 	"The tutor does not need to be tutor'd!"
	Miranda: 	"Hah, Crysa. Pokin' yer head. Hah!"
Danny Green: 	Danny pouted.
	Lucy: 	"Why's that funny."
* Miranda steps over to Lucy and whispers into her ear.
	Momo: 	Momo hugged Danny, boucing with happy.
* Lucy quietly snickered to herself.
Danny Green: 	"I haven't even got out of my jam-jams yet..." Danny pouted. "And ya'll picking on me."
	Crystal: 	"... what's so funny?" She tilts her head.
Danny Green: 	"Now go forth Momo, spread the religion of Danny!"
	Grace Appara: 	"Psychic humor."
	Crystal: 	"Ahh."
	Grace Appara: 	"Danny. One day, you'll need to tone down the awesome."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Looks like the Lopunny learned a move. Now, Danny, can I show you my Pokemon in need of tutelage?"
	Momo: 	"Lopun! Punnnny!" She bounced away!
	Grace Appara: 	"You'll cause a drought if you aren't careful."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Momo learned 2 moves.
	Momo: 	(Drain Punch. Thunder Punch)
Avara: 	MOMO PAWNCH
Danny Green: 	"Show meh!"
Danny Green: 	"But! I will only teach one of your PokeMon."
* Cepheus White took a Poke Ball from his belt and released his Baltoy.
	Miranda: 	"Why don't you teach Andy?"
Danny Green: 	(only have one more use left)
	Exxus: 	"... ..."
* Exxus looked up at Danny.
	Lucy: 	"Greetings, young one."
Avara is disconnected.
Avara is disconnected.
* Miranda rolls her eyes.
* Exxus turned in Lucy's general direction, and nodded.
Avara has connected.
	Miranda: 	"I forgot you loved those kinds of Pokemon."
	Lucy: 	"What? They're fascinating."
	Miranda: 	"Gonna tell me still that Unown are the most powerful force around?"
	Lucy: 	"...They are."
	Miranda: 	"No, Arceus is."
	Lucy: 	"I'm quite sure Arceus stands no chance against a big enough pocket of Unown."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Have you actually tested that, Lucy?"
Danny Green: 	"Yes! You need empirical evidence to make such a claim," Danny stated.
* Exxus started poking Danny's foot.
	Venec: 	Venec trudged out of his room, still a little sleepy, "Mornin everyone!"
* Danny rolls: 1d20+6 => 18 + 6 = 24
Danny Green: 	"Also! I can teach Exxus!"
Danny Green: 	"Hummmmmm..."
	Lucy: 	"They've copied forms of legendaries on a whim, broke through dimensions on accident and nearly crushed our galaxy on more than one occasion. That says enough."
Danny Green: 	Danny imparts psychic knowledge onto the other PokeMon.
* Exxus looked up expectantly.
* Exxus learned Stealth Rock!
	Venec: 	Venec looked between Lucy and Miranda and shrugged to himself. He wasn't sure what they were talking about, but it seemed at least half friendly.
Danny Green: 	Danny, happy with his morning lessons being quite the success, moved back to his bedroom to get dressed.
	Venec: 	Venec sent out Layla, hoping to use her sometime today.
Mike is disconnected.
	Layla: 	Layla is healed and gains 49 hit points.
* Grace Appara turns to Cepheus.
	Grace Appara: 	"Do you think it was Unown who did that?" Grace points to the ornament on Cepheus' wrist.
	Lucy: 	"Did what?"
	Cepheus White: 	"I don't think that at all."
	Crystal: 	"Did you ever consider that the Unown might be a form of Arceus's power exerting itself?"
	Miranda: 	"Nah, it's a Psychic type. It's just some weak Pokemon born from a myth."
	Danny Green: 	Danny made his appearance known once again, now dressed in a fashionable sweater and shirt, three-quarter pants, knee-high socks and swanky shoes. Danny was pure charisma.
	Venec: 	"Isn't arceus?" Venec shrugged.
	Lucy: 	"Humans did not create the Unown. They were around long before Humans began to fiddle with creating Pokemon."
	Boo: 	Boo the Haunter followed him from behind.
	Crystal: 	"How does being a psychic type exclude that possibility?"
	Boo: 	"Haw haw haw..."
	Cepheus White: 	"I saw Arceus before getting this band. I felt its presence. If it were something like an Unown, I would have realized it."
	Crystal: 	"How many Unown have you been around at once?"
	Cepheus White: 	"Who, me?"
	Crystal: 	"Yes you."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Zero."
	Miranda: 	"Arceus is every type or no type. And every part by legend of it is Dragon. Like Palkia, Dialga and Giratina. If Unown were pieces of it, weren't there be Dragon somewhere in there?"
	Crystal: 	"Then how would you know?"
	Lucy: 	"No, because that's stupid.
	Cepheus White: 	"Because I've never seen an Unown before, that's how."
	Lucy: 	"And I've seen roughly fifteen hundred Unown in a single location."
	Crystal: 	"There's no reason to get hostile over--how does that--..."
* Crystal walks away and comes back with a RELIGIOUS TALK OVER sign.
	Miranda: 	"Oh hey, I remember hearing about that."
* Cepheus White placed his hand on the table and let out a rather resigned sigh.
	Boo: 	Danny moved to Cepheus. "HAW HAW HAW!"
	Danny Green: 	"I love Unown."
	Cepheus White: 	"You're not very inconspicuous, Danny."
	Danny Green: 	"They're the bees-knees."
	Venec: 	"Legendary pokemon are just that. Old, strong and legendary. Anything has the potential to be stronger than anything with the time and experience."
	Boo: 	"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
	Lucy: 	"...This is true. That thing we saw in the Viridian is a prime example of this."
	Miranda: 	"Oh, MM? Yeah. He's like, really old."
	Boo: 	Boo moved to Lucy. "teeeerrrrrrrrrrr........"
	Lucy: 	"..."
	Lucy: 	"Y-You. Stay at least 6 meters away from me."
	Boo: 	"HAHAHAHAHAHAWHAWHAW!"
* Lucy dove behind Venec.
	Miranda: 	"...Oh yeah. Ghost fears."
* Crystal raises an eyebrow.
	Danny Green: 	Danny moved behind Boo and tried to give him a hug.
	Grace Appara: 	"Wait...then how did you be alright in the mansion?"
	Crystal: 	"Lucy's afraid of ghosts?"
	Venec: 	Venec tried not to smile. "Hey, do you mind leaving this one alone? You can target me for pranks three times as much if you do."
	Danny Green: 	But fell through face-first.
	Boo: 	"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
	Lucy: 	"I-I...had to be alright."
* Crystal attempts to bop Boo with the sign.
	Grace Appara: 	"That doesn't make any sense!"
	Boo: 	Boo moved to Venec and extended his hand to shake.
	Venec: 	Venec shook the haunter's hand, bracing for the joy buzzer.
	Boo: 	No, Haunter pulls back quickly, sticking his tongue and making faces at Venec.
	Boo: 	"..."
	Boo: 	"HAW HAW HAW..."
	Venec: 	Dex « 1d20+6 = 2 + 6 = 8 »
	Venec: 	Venec does miss the handshake and stumbles.
	Cepheus White: 	"...So team, what's our big plan for today? We've won the contest; what else is there left to do here? the gym, perhaps?"
* Crystal starts working on designs, looking up at the others on occasion.
	Crystal: 	"I think we should try the gym."
	Danny Green: 	"I plan to use Boo here to beat the Gym."
	Boo: 	Boo levitated back to Danny and made faces at his Trainer.
* DNA rolls: 1d20+6 => 14 + 6 = 20
	Venec: 	Venec sat down, "The gym is all there is on a day like today. Or just hanging out. I was hoping the rain would clear, I wanted to go to the beach."
	Danny Green: 	Danny, staring daggers at Boo for a moment, began to make faces back at Boo.
* Crystal looks at Boo. (It won't be funny to intentionally make him lose as a 'prank'. You'll end up getting hurt by the gym leader.)
	Danny Green: 	"Nyaaaahhhh!" Danny stuck his tongue out. "NANANANANANAA!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	Jupiter was busy just admiring the weather, since cloudy days were his favorite. Then all of a sudden, he felt like there was someone...or something...staring at him from a nearby tree!
* Jupiter Roswell glared back at it!
	Boo: 	Boo suddenly looked menacing, moving to face Crystal. "Haw..."
	????: 	"....?"
	Cepheus White: 	"Yeah, I suppose so. It's raining outside and everything..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(What the heck are YOU?)
	????: 	"Hrrrrhh...?" (It's....it can see me?!)
	????: 	( Not goood!!! )
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Hey! Get back here!)
* ???? takes off running!
* Crystal watches the Haunter.
	Boo: 	Boo, looked outside, then pointed out of a window while signalling Crystal to have look...
* ???? frantically looks around before suddenly digging at the ground, burrowing underneath.
* Crystal tilts her head to look, trying to keep Haunter in her peripheral vision.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Damn! It got away...)
Avara: 	should i roll for perception or something?
	Boo: 	Boo, moving in front of Crystal, edges closer until inches away from her face.
Kaorin Sakura: 	You can roll to see if you noticed Jupiter whirrring loudly and moving through the stormy weather in a panic through the window.
* Jupiter Roswell scanned the area to see if he could see this creature anywhere else...
* Danny rolls: 1d20+6 => 14 + 6 = 20
Avara: 	« 1d20+2 = 10 + 2 = 12 »
Kaorin Sakura: 	Danny notices, Crystal doesn't.
	Danny Green: 	"I think Jupiter is in trouble," Danny noted, "my psychic senses are tingling!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(...Now I'm kinda worried...)
	Crystal: 	"Psychic senses?"
	Grace Appara: 	"...Really?"
	Danny Green: 	"I have special powers."
	Miranda: 	"I want Psychic senses."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Define 'in trouble'."
	Danny Green: 	"OOoooOOoooOooooo."
	Lucy: 	"Pa-ha! No, you don't."
	Danny Green: 	"About to die?"
* Crystal turns her body towards the window, trying to get a better look.
	Cepheus White: 	"Actually, you know what, explanations can wait. I'm going after him."
	Venec: 	Venec went outside to look out the door, "Jupiter?"
* Cepheus White rushed out the door!
* Crystal opens the window and goes through that way, closing it behind her.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Boss!) the Magnezone said, seeing his master. (I...I saw this...thing!)
	Boo: 	"Hawhhhaaawhhahaahwwww!"
	Crystal: 	"What kind of thing?"
	Venec: 	Venec walked after.
	Danny Green: 	"Let go Boo!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(It kinda looked like a person...and it was in a tree...and it was spooky!)
	Crystal: 	"Kinda like a person? Why kinda?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(It dug a hole into the ground to escape me...see? It's right there!) he's pointing.
	Boo: 	Haunter pointed at the crack. "HAW HAW HAW!"
	Working Lady: 	"T-There was this....thing I tells ya!"
	Working Lady: 	"Kinda like....YOU!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Uhhhh...it had like really long hair...and it was sorta floating)
* Working Lady points to Crystal and Miranda.
	Working Lady: 	"But, not...not quite Human."
	Venec: 	"Another splice?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(I think so!) he nodded vigorously.
	Lucy: 	"...Define....wait...Jupiter, could you give me more details on how it looked?"
	Danny Green: 	"Boo! Scare it out of its hole!"
	Crystal: 	« 1d20 = 8 »
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Um...lemme see...)
	Crystal: 	(hm... nope. not gonna make the full jump)
	Venec: 	"Huh... if it was minding their own business it is probably nothing."
	Crystal: 	((*that was ooc*))
Avara: 	bluh
Avara: 	need a new indicator for pokespeak
DNA: 	Cepheus, in the meanwhile, walked over to the hole and see if he could find anything in it.
* DNA rolls: 1d20+6 => 15 + 6 = 21
	Boo: 	Boo moves through the crack, trying to find and scare whatever is in there.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(It was brown...kinda slender...floating...)
* Crystal leaps over the fence.
	Crystal: 	"Was it... like an Eevee?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(It was in that tree there and it ran away when I noticed it)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(An Eevee? I dunno. It was the same color but I don't think it looked like an Eevee)
* Miranda floats over the fence.
	Crystal: 	"Miranda, if humans can splice as part-pokemon... can the opposite happen?"
	Cepheus White: 	"Hmm? What's this?" Cepheus noticed something at the entrance to the hole. They looked like patches of fur.
	Cepheus White: 	Instinctively, he ran his Pokedex over them to see what would return.
	Miranda: 	"We've never done that before."
	Crystal: 	"You haven't. The thieves might have."
	Venec: 	"I don't see why it wouldn't work both ways." Venec said.
	Layla: 	(Yay! It's raining!)
	Crystal: 	(Hey little puppy, are you good at following smells?)
Kaorin Sakura: 	"Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon. Normal type. Because its genetic makeup is irregular, it quickly changes its form due to a variety of causes."
	Layla: 	(Oh really good! So is Captain!)
	Danny Green: 	Danny tried to investigate the scene with a careful eye...
* Danny rolls: 1d20+6 => 16 + 6 = 22
	Layla: 	(But it's raining... smells don't like staying around)
	Cepheus White: 	"Eevee fur, hmm? Jupiter, did you see something like an Eevee?"
	Crystal: 	(Are you good at digging?)
	Layla: 	(Not really...)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	Deploy paper clip. (Same color, but that's about it...)
	Crystal: 	(Do you know anyone who is?)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Wait, did you say digging?)
	Layla: 	(Hmm... no....) Layla whined and drooped her ears.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(If you said digging, I think I have an idea!)
Kaorin Sakura: 	"Lucia Von Ruar, winner of the Sinnoh League 8 years ago, deceased 6 years ago. She specialized in small size Pokémon and kept all of her Pokémon in their most basic form, taking the League by storm when she ran through it. Deciding not to become the Champion dislking its responsibility, she disappeared shortly after her victory."
DNA: 	^Whose Pokedex is that?
	Crystal: 	(What's the idea Jupiter?)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Cepheus'.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Boss-man has a gigantic digging Pokemon!)
	Danny Green: 	Danny sends out Curly!
	Crystal: 	"Cepheus, Jupiter says you have a big digging 'mon?"
	Cepheus White: 	"What the...? Why did I just get data for a human? ...unless this is a splice. But then again...this is a deceased human. This doesn't make sense."
	Danny Green: 	"Chase that burrowing silly-billy down! Go!"
Player "Jack" is not connected.
	Cepheus White: 	"And I do, actually. Registeel." Cepheus decided to send him out.
DNA: 	...it, not him, sorry
You whisper to Danny: You don't notice anything that wasn't already pointed out.
	Venec: 	"Why are we chasing?"
	Crystal: 	"The deceased report might be faked."
	Cepheus White: 	"That's always possible...but that doesn't make it any less mysterious."
	Curly: 	Curly dives into the ground, following that PokeMon's freshly dug hole...
* Crystal looks at Steelix and Registeel, (We're looking for a person that's like an Eevee. Or an Eevee that's like a person. That's underground.)
	Venec: 	Venec looked to Lucy to see if she had an answer.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Steelix's immense size cripples any whole left behind by the much smaller creature.
Kaorin Sakura: 	hole*
	Crystal: 	"... Because if Scion didn't do it, it may be a lead to the criminals."
	"The Tempered Blade": 	(I will follow the large metal snake.)
* Crystal is following her instincts. It may be a jenny thing.
	Venec: 	"... you did it."
	Lucy: 	"I'm at a loss."
	Lucy: 	"This is unusual and I can't say for sure what it is or isn't until I see it."
DNA: 	Registeel then followed Curly into the hole that it made, mostly for backup but also to look around.
	Crystal: 	"I said may."
	Crystal: 	"All we're doing is scaring it away."
	Venec: 	"I dunno. This all just seems really rude."
Avara: 	who imitated me
DNA: 	lol
	Crystal: 	( Ignore that )
	Miranda: 	"All we're doing is scaring it away."
	"The Tempered Blade": 	(Can Pokemon perform Search checks? and if so, what's the roll?)
	Crystal: 	"... Sorry. I just... when something suspicious runs away I want to chase it I guess?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	INT
Kaorin Sakura: 	INT capability
	Venec: 	"I guess... do you have some fur?"
	Crystal: 	"Huh?"
* Danny rolls: 1d20+4 => 20 + 4 = 24
* DNA rolls: 1d20+5 => 13 + 5 = 18
	Venec: 	"I thought someone scanned something..."
	Crystal: 	"Cepheus did."
	Curly: 	Steelix is a beast at finding things...
	Cepheus White: 	"You rang, Venec?"
	Curly: 	(Nat. 20 bitches!)
	Venec: 	"Was wondering if you had anything to pick up the trail."
You whisper to Danny: Steelix can pinpoint a faint trail leading northwest.
	"The Tempered Blade": 	(My sensory perception is detecting something nearby...)
You whisper to DNA: Registeel can pinpoint a faint trail leading northwest.
	Crystal: 	"The scent might not stay that long in the rain... that's what Layla said."
	Cepheus White: 	"Yeah, a small bit of fur left at the entrance to the hole." He picked up a piece and handed it to Venec. (Here.)
	Curly: 	Steelix roared out for the crazy PokeMon-talking lady to hear. "(HEAD NORTHWEST!)" Steelix headed that way.
	Venec: 	(Venec uses his sense of smell for a tracking roll « 1d20 = 19 » vs XXX?)
	"The Tempered Blade": 	(Moving northwest...Activating pursuit protocol.)
* Crystal starts walking in the steelix-y direction of northwest.
	"The Tempered Blade": 	Registeel began heading quickly in that direction, its seven eyes would not be dulled by the underground.
	Venec: 	(tracking results?)
	"The Tempered Blade": 	(Sensing foreign object a short distance ahead...)
You whisper to Venec_Myles: The scent is faint all around and definitely leads to that hole. That's the only place you can tell it's strongest.
	Danny Green: 	"Curly is super awesome at looking for things," Danny said, nodding.
	Boo: 	"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Hey, Registeel's awesome too, you know!)
	Venec: 	"Yeah, I can't pick up much more than the hole." He then watched the path of destruction carved by the party's pokemon. "... I almost want to just head inside and deny being involved.."
	Cepheus White: 	"It's not too late to back out, Venec. Besides, I'm used to being an accessory to Danny's shenanigans by now, so I can take it."
	Danny Green: 	"Registeel is pretty badass too, you know."
	Crystal: 	(I hope you can put the ground back how it was when you're done...)
	Boo: 	"HAWHAWHAWHAW!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Yeah! Go Registeel!)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Are the duo gonna do anything from there?
* Crystal looks up in the trees.
	Venec: 	"Well, lets make sure no one is killed. C'mon Layla, Aneue." Venec said to his two companions before jogging after the seeking pokemon.
DNA: 	Do I need to make another search check?
	Curly: 	Steelix will continue to look for that pesky PokeMon.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Considering you both have stopped and possibly lost your bearings, sure!
	Venec: 	(recall the trail, is it anywhere nearby)
* DNA rolls: 1d20+5 => 8 + 5 = 13
	"The Tempered Blade": 	(The trail appears to be fainter...but still nearby...)
	Venec: 	"If we're around where it came out I'll smell it."
	Crystal: 	« 1d20+2 = 3 + 2 = 5 »
* Crystal sucks at tracking. it is a fact.
	"The Tempered Blade": 	(Sentient: Curly. Have you tracked the target?) it called through the underground.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Both Registeel and Crystal have lost the trail.
	Venec: 	((Me?))
	Danny Green: 	"Curly and I will look!"
* Danny rolls: 1d20+6 => 14 + 6 = 20
* Danny rolls: 1d20+4 => 7 + 4 = 11
Kaorin Sakura: 	Venec doesn't smell anything like the fur
DNA: 	Of course not. He smells like Venec.
Kaorin Sakura: 	And Curly is just as lost.
Venec whispers: test
	Curly: 	Curly looks some more...
* Danny rolls: 1d20+4 => 8 + 4 = 12
	Crystal: 	"Hello? If you can hear me, I promise we're not looking to hurt you! We just want to know what's going on!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Looking more than once won't net you better results.
* Crystal is attempting diplomacy! USING HER CHARISMA!
DNA: 	Danny got a 20, so what'd he find?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Danny got an 11.
	Crystal: 	« 1d20+10 = 10 + 10 = 20 »
	Venec: 	"She hasn't come out around here."
DNA: 	Curly got an 11
DNA: 	Danny got a 20
Kaorin Sakura: 	Oh. In that case.
You whisper to Danny: You don't see any traces of burrowing from what you can tell, other than what Curly made.
* Crystal repeats her call of coming in peace in poketalk.
* Buneary appears from hiding behind her tree, frightened but persuaded by Crystal's great diplomatic skills.
	Buneary: 	"Mhuurrr...."
	Buneary: 	( A-As long as you really won't hurt me. )
	Layla: 	(Hi I'm Layla! Lets be friends!)
	Crystal: 	(We're looking for someone who's kind of like me, but eevee-like instead of flowery. Did someone like that show up around here?)
	Layla: 	Layla ran right over.
	Danny Green: 	"I don't see any traces of burrowing from what I can tell, other than what Curly made. However, deductive reasong dictactes that if cracks are made when Poke's burrow... our catch is nearby! She hasn't dug outside this area!"
	Cepheus White: 	"Grace, you think you can try and find it psychically? I don't know if it'd work, but I guess it's worth a try..."
	Buneary: 	( Human but Eevee-like? I don't get it. )
	Crystal: 	(Humanlike body, but lots of fur and maybe a tail.)
	Lucy: 	"You're interrogating a Buneary. This will not end well."
	"The Tempered Blade": 	Registeel started moving slowly, not really going off any trail but just trying to locate the creature. It moved slowly, going back the way it came.
	Danny Green: 	Danny watch Crystal make funny PokeTalk noises.
	Crystal: 	"I'm not interrogating! Interrogating implies ill will."
	Buneary: 	"Ah!! Yes, yes. I saw one!"
	Buneary: 	()*
	Layla: 	(If you want to show us you can ride on my back!)
	Buneary: 	( It was umm...umm...started with an M. I saw it earlier. )
* Buneary points to Layla.
	Buneary: 	( She was with you earlier! )
	"The Tempered Blade": 	(Search inconclusive. Returning above ground.)
	Layla: 	(Neukorma? Meloetta are fuzzy! But that's close!)
	"The Tempered Blade": 	Registeel then rose out of the pit Curly dug. It looked at Cepheus and shook its head - indicating its search was unsuccessful.
* Buneary shakes her head.
	Danny Green: 	"I have a new plan..."
	Buneary: 	( The one with the poofy and long ears. She was with you! )
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(This had better work!)
	Layla: 	(Momo! She's also close! But no...)
	Curly: 	Curly came back up, returning to his PokeBall.
	Layla: 	(Momo is a you! Or you will be what Momo is.)
	Buneary: 	( Ah..! Than...I don't know. )
	Crystal: 	(A big poofy tail.)
	Layla: 	Layla gave the bunny a reassuring lick on the cheek.
	Larry: 	Larry popped out... "What an awful idea--"
	Lucy: 	"Imagine an Eevee. But a Human. A Human Eevee. Floating."
	Danny Green: 	"-- no!"
	Danny Green: 	"It'll work!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Wait...Lucy?)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(How did YOU know what it looks like?)
	Danny Green: 	"We're filling this hole with water..."
	Buneary: 	( ...Cannot say. )
* Crystal pats Buneary. "... Larry, could you give Buneary a mental image of an eevee?"
	Danny Green: 	"And drowning it out of its hole..."
	Cepheus White: 	"We're trying to find it, not kill it."
	Lucy: 	"...Permission to mind slave?"
	Crystal: 	"Instead of going with Danny's madness."
	Danny Green: 	"It'll be fine. It'll just dig out of it.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(What do you mean, you can't say?)
	Venec: 	"Only if you tell her what is in store and you're both okay with it."
	Danny Green: 	"And the other end of the hole will become obvious to us!"
	Crystal: 	"Danny, go sit in the corner."
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny, that's crazy even for you. We are not trying to kill this thing. If anything, it is probably scared out of its wits."
	Danny Green: 	Danny pouted.
	Buneary: 	( Nuun..Nuun can't say. )
	Lucy: 	"I'ts withholding information from us. Intentionally. Should I really ask if she's alright with it?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(...I was talking to Lucy, not you...)
	Danny Green: 	"...but if we fill it with water...then the hole it used to escape will be revealed..."
	Crystal: 	(Can't say because you don't know, or because something's wrong?)
	Crystal: 	"Danny, corner."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(...oh, whatever.)
* Buneary doesn't answer.
	Danny Green: 	Danny pouted in the corner.
	Crystal: 	(We just want to know things. We don't want to hurt anyone.)
	Lucy: 	"Oh, sorry Jupiter."
	Venec: 	"You can read minds without Mind Slaving, can't you? We did that with Miranda."
	Lucy: 	"I know only what you said and what we've deduced so far."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Oh. For a second there I thought you knew a cool secret. I guess not...)
	Lucy: 	"I...I guess I can."
	Danny Green: 	Danny looked at the bunny rabbit, pulling out some food and offering it...
* Miranda sits down by the bench and enjoys the rain.
* Crystal sighs, and looks at Buneary. (Please tell us? We're worried someone's doing a bad thing, that's why we need to know things.)
	Cepheus White: 	(This is quite a tangent we've derailed ourselves onto...) Cepheus thought quietly to himself.
	Crystal: 	« 1d20+10 charisma check if applicable = 9 + 10 = 19 »
	Danny Green: 	Danny noticed Crystal was trying to look pretty for the bunny!
	Danny Green: 	Nobody would outshine him!
	Danny Green: 	Danny smiled at the Bunny!
* Buneary pouts at Crystal, her lip quivering.
	Venec: 	"So far we're chasing someone who looked kind of funny who ran away for being chased. And now talking to a pokemon in case she saw her, which is unlikely because she hasn't come out of the ground yet. Something funny could be going on I guess, it's par for us, but a Mind Slave is pretty drastic just for our own curiosity."
* Danny rolls: 1d20+5 => 20 + 5 = 25
	Crystal: 	(Did someone threaten to hurt you, or someone you care about?)
* Buneary glanced at Danny and just crumpled to the ground.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(What did you DO!?) Jupiter yelled at Danny. He slapped him for good measure.
* Crystal deflects the slap!
	Crystal: 	"He just smiled. This time."
	Buneary: 	( Nuun tells already! Nuun saw evo-lady. Comes by sometimes but Humans come looking too. Evo-lady doesn't like them, so asked everyone to not talk about her. )
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(...Seriously?)
	Lucy: 	"Evo....lady?"
	Crystal: 	(What did the humans look like? Did they have coats like that but white?) She poitns at venec.
	Venec: 	"What'd I do?" Venec asked, concerned why Crystal was pointing him out.
	Buneary: 	( They were hard to see. Like...waves in the sky. Sometimes you could see them though. Black mostly, but shiny. )
* Crystal repeats the description for those who can't poketalk.
	Lucy: 	"...That made no sense."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Maybe they're reflective?)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Or they have a night sky pattern or something...or maybe clouds!)
	Crystal: 	(Is Evo-lady nice?)
	Venec: 	"Ghost splices?"
	Layla: 	(She sounds nice, if the pokemon here like her! All the pokemon I've met here are really cool.)
	Buneary: 	( Nice and fun! )
	Layla: 	(I wanna meet her!) Layla barked happily.
	Crystal: 	(Could you ask her if she could meet with us later? I promise we're not here to hurt her.)
	Buneary: 	( Nuun's not sure... )
* Buneary points to the cracks in the ground and then to the huge crowd of Pokémon and Humans about looking for her.
	Crystal: 	(I just want you to ask. Nuun doesn't have to get a yes, and won't be hurt if the request is rejected.)
	Crystal: 	(We're just... really excitable when we find new things. We'll try to fix the ground before we leave.) She turns and looks at Registeel, calling out. (Can you fix the damaged earth?)
	Danny Green: 	"It's a bunny... so adorable!"
	"The Tempered Blade": 	(Very well. Allow me a few moments.)
	"The Tempered Blade": 	Registeel lifted up its arms to the air, then whipped them down again suddenly.
	Layla: 	Layla rolled to her back and looked at Nuun, (Sorry we scared you little sister. We can play later if you want!)
	"The Tempered Blade": 	(Groundshaper)!
	Buneary: 	( Nuun will ask. )
	Cepheus White: 	Cepheus jumped back from the shockwave.
* Crystal turns back to the bunny. (Sorry. We'll come back to see Nuun later, okay? We have a thing we need to do, which gives Nuun plenty of time to talk with Evo-lady.)
	Venec: 	"Hey!" Venec called to the Registeel over the rain, "Do you think you could leave the hole she burrowed? We don't want to get her stuck or anything!"
Avara: 	i imagine registeel's repairs would apply primarily to the visible damage on the surface.
* "The Tempered Blade" nods!
	"The Tempered Blade": 	Registeel created a small cavity in the ground, enough for air to get through below the earth if necessary.
	Crystal: 	"Okay, everyone--it's time to go to the gym. Danny can leave the corner now."
	Danny Green: 	"Tell Nuun I will make her heaps of food for her help!"
* Crystal relays the message.
	Danny Green: 	Danny left the corner and cheered!
	Venec: 	Venec gave Registeel a thumbs up.
	Danny Green: 	"Hi Larry. I'mma use Boo for the Gym today."
	Danny Green: 	"Good idea?
	"The Tempered Blade": 	(I accept your gesture of appreciation.)
	Larry: 	"Of course," Larry replied, "Boo is a very good PokeMon."
	Boo: 	"HAW HAW HAW!"
	Cepheus White: 	"Registeel, would you mind terribly if I took you for the gym challenge today? I'd like to see what you're capable of."
	"The Tempered Blade": 	*nod*
* Crystal gives Buneary a helpful pat on the head. (Good luck. We'll see you later ok?)
* Jupiter Roswell rushed over to Cepheus when he heard that.
	Venec: 	"Aneue..." Venec said to Lucy, "Should I use you or Layla for this gym?"
	Crystal: 	« 1d20 = 11 »
	Larry: 	Larry returned back to his PokeBall. "Time to continue my vacation."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Why...Why IT? Am I not cool enough for you?)
	Lucy: 	"Either or. Who do you know best?"
Avara: 	buneary gets +11 damage to its next move if it's a damaging one.
	Layla: 	Layla nosed Nuun affectionately before hopping back to Venec.
	Buneary: 	( Alright! )
	Danny Green: 	Danny ran to the Breeder's kitchen to make Nuun some food!
	Danny Green: 	Home Cooking!
	Crystal: 	"Sorry, Miranda. I just... felt like i had to chase. It was weird."
	Cepheus White: 	"I haven't seen Registeel in action yet. It couldn't hurt that much, right?"
* Danny rolls: 1d4+6 => 1 + 6 = 7
	Cepheus White: 	"Besides, I can't let the two of you hog the limelight forever."
	Danny Green: 	Danny made 7 meals. He was a masterfully quick cook.
	Venec: 	"It all comes down the questions asked. I know more about Layla's life but I know more about personal things about you."
	Danny Green: 	Danny ran back out with all the meals in hand for the Buneary.
	Danny Green: 	"Here Miss Bunny!"
* Miranda grinned and shook her head, "It's alright. I waited here for you."
	Danny Green: 	Danny gave all 7 meals to the Buneary.
	Cepheus White: 	"Although...if there's some sort of unusual stipulation that would prevent me from using Registeel..."
	Danny Green: 	"Those are for you and all your friends!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Yay! Jupiter Roswell, in the spotlight!)
	Lucy: 	"That is a dilemma."
* Jupiter Roswell strikes a pose!
	Cepheus White: 	"We'll see."
* Crystal hugs Miranda. "Should we get going then?"
* Buneary gasped and took the meals, dashing into the trees with them all.
	Danny Green: 	Danny moved off with the rest of the group, moving alongside Boo the Haunter.
* Miranda stands to her feet and nods.
	Danny Green: 	"Me first!"
	Danny Green: 	"I'm the leader!"
* Miranda hugs Crystal.
	Cepheus White: 	"Then walk faster."
	Venec: 	"I'll think on the way."
	Crystal: 	"If you run in first you'll be the first one to hit all the traps, Danny."
	Danny Green: 	"Huff huff!"
	Danny Green: 	Danny, uncaring about the traps, breathed hard after running his ass off to make sure he was first.
	Danny Green: 	"We're first Boo!''
	Boo: 	"HAW HAW HAW!"
	"The Tempered Blade": 	(...I am slightly nervous...)
	Venec: 	Venec walked up the hills, finding them no trouble.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Psh, don't be. Gym battles are easy! especially for us Steel types. Come on, flex with me.)
* Ann opened the doors and held them open for everyone.
	Boo: 	Boo made faces at The Tempered Blade to ease their nerves.
* Crystal gives Miranda another hug, before putting her in the greatball.
	"The Tempered Blade": 	(... ...Haunter, I am in your gratitude.)
	Boo: 	Boo stared at Jupiter and then imitated all the flexing.
	Boo: 	"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWW"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(...Are you mocking me?)
	Boo: 	"Haw? Me?"
* Crystal then releases Eli.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(...Yeah...)
	Boo: 	"HAW HAW HAW HAW HAAAAAAAAA..."
	Venec: 	"Wait... you guys are using new catches?"
	Boo: 	"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
	Boo: 	"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
	Cepheus White: 	"Is something the matter, Venec?"
	Crystal: 	"Eli's my starter. The gym's about how much you know your pokemon."
	Venec: 	"Well... the hard part is answering questions about your pokemon, isn't it?"
	Boo: 	"(No, of course not my good sir.)"
	Cepheus White: 	"...I didn't know. I haven't visited the gym yet."
	Venec: 	Venec nodded to Crystal, "Yeah."
	Crystal: 	"I'd expect using a strange one from Danny, from what I've seen of him, but you should probably use Jupiter or Grace."
	Cepheus White: 	"So the catch is I need to answer questions about my Pokemon?"
	Cepheus White: 	"...If that's the case, I don't know enough about Registeel for something like that..."
	Venec: 	"A battle at the end, but your pokemon is hurt for every wrong answer before the fight."
	Danny Green: 	"I should probably grab Larry in that case."
	"The Tempered Blade": 	(I will step aside...)
* Crystal looks at Registeel. (You can help with the next gym, but he needs someone he's really really familiar with for this one. It's more his problem than yours.)
	Boo: 	"Booooooooooooooooo~"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Pick me! I can take a hit! But...)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(...if you're supposed to answer questions about your Pokemon...)
	Larry: 	Larry reappeared on the scene as Boo was returned to the bench.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(...are you sure you should pick me?)
	Larry: 	"I see," Larry nodded, "this GYM is very interesting."
	Crystal: 	(It might be better if he chooses Grace this time.)
	Larry: 	"I think Danny and I will be quite fine with this challenge."
	Larry: 	"I have raised Danny since he was a toddler."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Boss...I can't do this. I can't ruin this moment for you.)
	Crystal: 	(Besides, you got to show off during the contests. Give Grace a chance?)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Yeah. You're right, Crystal.)
	Grace Appara: 	"..."
* Jupiter Roswell turned to Cepheus.
	Grace Appara: 	"Haven't you been with Ceph-chan longer?"
	Grace Appara: 	"Are you sure he knows more about me?"
	Larry: 	"I would hate to be Cepheus if he gets answers wrong in this case," Larry mentioned, "because it would prove very hurtful to their relationship."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(...You have no idea how hard it is for the boss-man to choose which of us to use.)
* Ann crosses her arms as she holds the door open.
	Larry: 	Larry thought for a moment, "or it could help your relationship blossom further. You might learn more about each other."
	Venec: 	Venec walked inside, out of the rain
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(And unless we make the decision for him, he's not going to pick.)
	Cepheus White: 	"...I'm torn between the two of you. I don't know which of you I should pick!"
	Venec: 	"... A bond is a part of it. But learning about a pokemon you've met is also important. Gyms aren't always about taking the easiest route, but the ones that make you learn." Venec nodded to himself, "I think I should go with you." Venec looked to Lucy.
	Danny Green: 	Danny rushed over to the newcomer!
	Ann: 	"Sir. You may only use one Pokémon."
	Danny Green: 	"Oh, sweet heavenly angel," Danny excalimed, "you are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on!"
	Cepheus White: 	"...I'm aware. I'm in the midst of making my decision."
Avara is disconnected.
Avara is disconnected.
Avara has connected.
	Ann: 	"I wasn't speaking to you. I was speaking to the only one of you indoors."
	Ann: 	"Taking advantage of my hospitality."
	Venec: 	Venec returned Layla as she requested.
	Lucy: 	"I have faith in you."
	Danny Green: 	"Please!" Danny helped keep the door open. "Let me!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(...I can't do this. I can't ruin this for the boss.)
* Jupiter Roswell pointed to Grace, then returned himself to his Poke Ball instantly.
	Larry: 	"Nice to meet you," Larry said, gracing toward the pair. "I am Larry. This is my Trainer, Danny."
	Cepheus White: 	"...He gave up a crack at a gym? Just like that?"
	Ann: 	"A Sloking...this should prove entertaining."
	Crystal: 	"He thinks he'd ruin the moment for you."
	Cepheus White: 	"Ruin...the moment?"
* Ann bowed to Larry, "I'm Ann, leader of the Azure Gym."
	Crystal: 	"Either something about you and grace, or your chances of winning."
	Grace Appara: 	"Don't let me down, Ceph-chan. I don't like hurting."
	Venec: 	Venec stood in the entry, behind Ann and out of the rain.
* Crystal moves forward with Eli, looking at the gym leader.
	Cepheus White: 	"...I know. I'...I'm so nervous."
	Ann: 	"Well, if you guys are just gonna stand in the wind and rain, I'm going to go make coffee."
	Cepheus White: 	"Jupiter's better at taking hits than you, but why'd he give it up?"
	Danny Green: 	"So.... do you have a boyfriend Miss Gym Leader Ann?"
	Crystal: 	"May we come in? We're here for the challenge as well."
	Ann: 	"You're all free to come in, yeah. It's why I was holding the door open."
	Ann: 	"And no, not anymore."
* Crystal walks in with Eli.
	Danny Green: 	Danny looked at Larry. "Hear that? On the rebound." Danny paused. "YESSSSSSSSSS..."
	Ann: 	"For about 20 years, yes."
	Crystal: 	"... Danny, do you need to visit the corner again?"
	Cepheus White: 	"....Grace, are you ready?"
	Grace Appara: 	"Yes, if you are."
	Danny Green: 	"It's obviously been a long time coming," Danny answered.
	Cepheus White: 	(I hope she won't think any less of me if I get a question wrong...) he thought, forgetting his thoughts weren't quite a closed book anymore.
	Cepheus White: 	"...I'm ready. Let's go."
	Danny Green: 	"Please. Let me hold you. Carress you."
	Danny Green: 	"...I love you..."
	Crystal: 	"..." She looks at Ann. "Should I send him to the corner of woe?"
	Cepheus White: 	(Danny is so lucky that Jupiter backed off...)
	Danny Green: 	Danny looked at Crystal in fear. "No~! Not that!"
	Ann: 	"I'm fine. He's not the first teen to walk in here and oogle me."
	Danny Green: 	Danny gave Ann his most charismatic smile.
	Cepheus White: 	"...I think it's 'ogle'."
* Danny rolls: 1d20+5 => 6 + 5 = 11
	Ann: 	"You'd think that hitting your mid-thirties would keep them off of you."
	Danny Green: 	There was some green stuff stuck between his teeth.
	Crystal: 	"Apparently not."
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny, please behave yourself for once in your life. You don't need to have an eternally bad reputation on your head, now do you?"
	Danny Green: 	"Fine."
	Danny Green: 	Danny pouted, "I thought my reputation was fine."
	Ann: 	"Well, follow me downstairs."
	Danny Green: 	"I bet I really impressed Ann with my good looks, charm and dashingness."
* Crystal follows right behind Ann.
	Danny Green: 	"Right, Ann?"
	Danny Green: 	Danny followed just behind Crystal.
* Ann reaches down as she bends over, grabbing a handle and opening a basement door.
* Cepheus White brings up the rear, with Grace following.
	Danny Green: 	"So.... Crystal.... do you got a boyfriend?"
	Crystal: 	"You're not my type."
* Cepheus White slapped the back of Danny's head.
	Ann: 	"Being cute doesn't make up for being young."
	Danny Green: 	"I can chaa--ow!"
	Cepheus White: 	"Be grateful Jupiter isn't around. He slaps a lot harder than I do...as I'm sure you're aware."
	Danny Green: 	Danny had little tears in his eyes...
	Venec: 	Venec followed as well.
	Crystal: 	"I could help you slap harder if you want, Cepheus."
	Danny Green: 	"I still have a bruise from Jupiter from yesterday," Danny said.
	Cepheus White: 	"Only if it's actually deserved, Crystal. But knowing Danny, that won't take long."
	Venec: 	"I have a question." Venec asked of Ann. "What rules are there for trainers?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	As you follow Ann into the basement, you can see four paddle boats in a river. There are four alters beside the boats.
	Ann: 	"Rules?"
	Danny Green: 	"Yes please."
	Crystal: 	"Trainers attacking, healing, using items... those things."
	Ann: 	"Oh, standard legal stuff."
	Larry: 	"That would be much appreciated Ann," Larry answered, "thank you for any help."
	Cepheus White: 	"It'd help so we know what we should be doing."
	Ann: 	"No shifting my own Pokémon types, you can use items but don't interfere with the Pokémon or other Trainers."
	Venec: 	"I'm the type to charge in head first. Then remember I have pokemon to back me up. Even when I let them fight I spend my time empowering my chi so they fight stronger."
	Crystal: 	"Standard league-legal fair. Alright."
	Ann: 	"That's fine. Just keep your Ki to your own Pokémon and you won't be disqualified."
	Venec: 	Venec grinned.
	Ann: 	"But, the other rules."
	Venec: 	Venec took out his choice band and wrapped it around his forehead.
	Ann: 	"You need to return your Pokémon back into their Poké Balls and place them on the alter."
	Larry: 	Larry returned back to his PokeBall.
	Ann: 	"Then, each one of you will enter one of the boats and begin your journey down the tunnel."
	Ann: 	"You will be asked four questions about your Pokémon."
	Danny Green: 	Danny placed Larry's ball on the alter.
	Cepheus White: 	"...See you soon, Grace." Cepheus recalled Grace and placed her Poke Ball on the specified altar.
	Venec: 	Venec drew the heal ball, "Now don't explode on me." Venec smirked.
* Crystal puts the ball-shaped pokemon in the pokemon-shaped ball, before placing it on the altar.
	Ann: 	"For each wrong answer, your Pokémon will hit with the blast of a Drifblims aftermath inside of the Poké Ball. Even the hardiest of Pokémon crumble under that force."
	Cepheus White: 	(Oh no...not Drifblim...)
	Danny Green: 	"What if your PokeMon has the ability 'Dampen'?"
	Ann: 	"Once you reach the end of the tunnel, I'll be there waiting for you to battle."
	Ann: 	"Dampen doesn't stop it from within the Poké Ball. That's the point of the alter."
	Danny Green: 	"Alright! Time to do awesome!"
	Ann: 	"The only Pokémon you're allowed to use if the one on the alter. If you're Pokémon is unable to fight by the end of the tunnel, you automatically forfeit the fight and will need to try again at a later date."
	Venec: 	Venec does return Lucy, holds the ball to make sure it doesn't explode, and then sets it on the alter.
	Danny Green: 	"Did you say 'date'?"
	Crystal: 	"Danny."
	Cepheus White: 	"Sigh...All right, Jupiter, time to see if your move was worth it."
	Danny Green: 	Danny pouted. "I sorry. I be good."
	Ann: 	"Go ahead and get in the boats and we'll begin."
* Ann turns away from the party and begins walking down a walkway beside the tunnel.
* Crystal gets in one of the boats.
	Danny Green: 	Danny rushed into one of the boats.
	Danny Green: 	"ME FIRST"
	Crystal: 	"Too late."
* Cepheus White slowly took his seat in the boat. He was trying to psych himself into not worrying and focusing on just getting the questions right.
	Venec: 	Venec found his way to a boat. Once again feeling kind of funny without Lucy next to him.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Once everyone is inside of the boats, it begins moving on its own down the tunnel.
Kaorin Sakura: 	The tunnel is completely dark with a shimmer of light overhead similar to that of an aurora.
	Cepheus White: 	(It's like being on some sort of strange ride...)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Danny...
	Danny Green: 	"Yes voice in my head?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	What is your Pokémon's name?
	Danny Green: 	"You want me to kill them all?"
	Danny Green: 	"Oh, nevermind."
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny, please focus."
	Danny Green: 	"Another voice."
	Danny Green: 	"Larry!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Danny's boat continues and nothing seems awry.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Venec.
Kaorin Sakura: 	What is your Pokémon's birthday?
	Venec: 	"... there are two." Venec said, looking up. "Date the human was born, February 19th. The date the pokemon Lucy was born, April 30th."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Venec's boat continues on peacefully.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Crystal.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Where was your Pokémon born?
	Crystal: 	"Presinct 11 in Castelia. His egg was donated by a Jenny from Hoenn."
	Venec: 	Venec floated on, feeling much more relaxed, now that he knew what questions would be asked.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Crystal's boat passes on without a hitch.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Cepheus.
	Cepheus White: 	(How do they know the answers to these questions?)
Kaorin Sakura: 	How old is your Pokémon?
* Crystal knows because she was there the day Eli hatched.
	Cepheus White: 	"Chronologically, Grace is 16 years of age."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Cepheus boat continues forward behind everyone elses.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Suddenly, there's a wave of force and the tunnel glows faintly. Along the walls, you can see images of your Pokémon earliest memories.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Danny.
Kaorin Sakura: 	How long have you and your Pokémon been together?
	Danny Green: 	"Yes mister voice?"
	Danny Green: 	"Hmmmm... since I was three... when I fell in that pool and Larry saved me!"
	Danny Green: 	"That's..."
	Danny Green: 	Danny counts on his fingers...
	Venec: 	Venec watches the wall of memories, trying to make out Lucy's.
	Danny Green: 	"about 13 years!"
	Cepheus White: 	(It's like they're psychically probing into the Poke Balls...) Cepheus thought, intently watching the wall. Everything he could see...was a story of sadness.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Danny's boat is suddenly surrounded by the image of Larry as a Slowpoke rescuing Danny.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Venec.
	Danny Green: 	Just south of Lavendar Town, Danny had been playing near the water, when he fell in.... a Slowpoke saved him!
	Venec: 	Venec gulped.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Would your Pokémon die for you?
	Venec: 	"Yes." He said. "And I for her."
Kaorin Sakura: 	An image of Lucy and Venec appears around his boat, standing side by side as the horizons flash through space and time.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Crystal.
	Crystal: 	"At your leisure, Ann."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Does your Pokémon trust you?
	Crystal: 	"If not, he certainly puts on a good act. That has lasted years. Yes, he trusts me."
Kaorin Sakura: 	An image surrounds Crystal's boat where Eli is following Crystal in moments of blind faith.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Cepheus.
	Cepheus White: 	"..."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Has your Pokémon ever hated you?
	Cepheus White: 	"As far as I have known her, no she has not. I know she's found me to be foolish a few times, but it has never actually become hate."
	Grace Appara: 	Grace Appara loses 20 hit points.
Kaorin Sakura: 	An image of an alter can be seen along the wall by Cepheus, being blast with wind and force.
Kaorin Sakura: 	blasted*
	Cepheus White: 	"Ouch!" he winched, clutching his shoulder.
	Danny Green: 	"Haha! Take that Cepheus!"
	Crystal: 	"DANNY!"
	Cepheus White: 	He was more stunned by disbelief than anything else. Grace hated him once?
	Cepheus White: 	"Shut up, Danny!"
	Crystal: 	"If you don't behave you will be in the corner for a week."
	Danny Green: 	"i sorry."
	Danny Green: 	'i be good."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Another wall of force is thrown at the boats and the tunnel grows brighter. The area by Cepheus is slightly dimmer.
	Danny Green: 	Danny pouted.
	Cepheus White: 	"Be grateful Jupiter isn't here to kick you to the curb!"
	Venec: 	"She was immature once. It was probably about the darkrai thing."
	Cepheus White: 	"...but that was enough to hate me?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Danny.
	Danny Green: 	"Yesssss?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Is your Pokémon annoyed by you?
	Crystal: 	"Everyone can feel hateful once in a while. What matters is she doesn't now."
	Cepheus White: 	"... ... Yeah, I know. I just...I got a question wrong."
	Danny Green: 	Danny frowned. "God, don't make me answer that!"
	Venec: 	"She hasn't had any time to hate you for anything else. You saved her life, teenagers hate their parents all the time for doing that."
	Crystal: 	"You can make it up to her later. We'll help you if we can."
	Cepheus White: 	"I don't hate her. I blame myself for being foolish."
	Danny Green: 	"He never gets annoyed!"
	Danny Green: 	Danny frowned, looking livid.
	Larry: 	Larry loses 24 hit points.
Kaorin Sakura: 	An image of an alter can be seen along the wall by Danny, being blasted with wind and force.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Venec.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Out of you and your Pokémon, who can sing better?
	Venec: 	"Oh god, her. My voice cracks whenever I try!" Venec laughed. He'd expected a heavy one.
	Lucy: 	Lucy loses 48 hit points.
Kaorin Sakura: 	An image of an alter can be seen along the wall by Venec, being blasted with wind and force.
	Crystal: 	"... Is this because Lucy doesn't know the Sing move?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Crystal.
	Venec: 	"I- I don't either!"
	Danny Green: 	"I'm a dazzling singer!'
	Danny Green: 	"Mee mee meee~"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Are you the most improtant person to your Pokémon?
* Danny rolls: 1d20+5 => 6 + 5 = 11
	Crystal: 	"... Yes and no? That's kind of a very loaded question. I'm a huge influence, but I'd hope if he finds love that said lover will be more important."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Repeat:
Kaorin Sakura: 	Are you the most improtant person to your Pokémon?
	Lucy: 	Lucy loses 48 hit points.
	Crystal: 	"... Yes?"
	Crystal: 	"Also, screw you and your oversimplifying things."
* Cepheus White chuckled a bit at Avara's outburst.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Crystal's boat is suddenly cluttered with bubbles. Inside the bubbles is a slow playing image of her and Eli's first meeting.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Cepheus.
	Cepheus White: 	(...oh dear.)
* Eli is a fresh-hatched voltorb, rolling around with a little blue-haired kid.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Have you ever made your Pokémon cry?
	Cepheus White: 	"... ..." He looked either deep in thought or reluctant to answer.
	Cepheus White: 	"...Yes."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Cepheus' boat is suddenly cluttered with bubbles. Inside the bubbles is a slow playing image of the few times Cepeheus has made Grace cry.
	Cepheus White: 	Cepheus was close to tears himself. Remembering these things was both saddening and uplifting.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Another wall of force crashes against your boats, the tunnel brightens up, Cepheus' side brightening up with everyone elses and the many happy memories of your Pokémon can be seen along the water. You swear you can hear the sounds of the events faintly emitting from the water.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Danny.
	Cepheus White: 	(there's a strange force at work here...being able to draw from our minds like this...)
	Cepheus White: 	(One last question...)
Danny Green: 	"Yes voice?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Has your Pokémon ever felt like giving up on your friendship?
Danny Green: 	Danny sounded very annoyed.
Danny Green: 	"No!!!!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	A faint ghostly image walks beside Danny's boat, showing the many times where their friendship was strongest.
Danny Green: 	Danny was crying.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Venec.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Are you your Pokémon's closest friend?
	Venec: 	Venec paused. Remembering her friendship bracelet and ring. He never asked about those, it was stupid of him. He should have, this answer really would be his fault. "She is mine. And I hope that I am hers, this gym is the longest we've parted since we've met. Yes. I am her closest friend." He could taste how conceded the words were in his mouth.
Avara: 	conceited?
	Venec: 	*yes
	Venec: 	*poor speller, if you hadn't noticed
Kaorin Sakura: 	A faint ghostly image walks beside Venec's boat, showing the many, many times where their friendship was strongest.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Crystal.
Kaorin Sakura: 	What is your Pokémon's favourite colour?
	Crystal: 	"Um..." She thinks for a bit, before looking at the sky. "Midnight blue with starry white flecks. That's why I made him a cosmic cape for his contest outfit--he's always looking at the night sky."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Repeat:
Kaorin Sakura: 	What is your Pokémon's favourite colour?
	Crystal: 	"... I gave you a color. With a modifier."
	Crystal: 	"You're being nitpicky."
	Cepheus White: 	(Poor Ava.)
	Crystal: 	"Midnight blue."
Kaorin Sakura: 	A faint ghostly image walks beside Venec's boat, showing the many times Eli was staring up at the clear starry sky, often focused at the center of the universe.
DNA: 	*crystal's boat
DNA: 	carry on
Kaorin Sakura: 	* Yeah, that.
Kaorin Sakura: 	-facepalm-
Kaorin Sakura: 	Cepheus.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Will your Pokémon always be there for you in a life threatening situation?
DNA: 	(Figures I wouldn't get a straightforward question...) he thought.
	Cepheus White: 	"I'm not sure if it'd always be possible for her to be there for me in such a situation, but I do know that, if it were possible, she'd definitely be there for me without a second thought."
	Cepheus White: 	"In the same way that I'd be there for her in the same situation."
Kaorin Sakura: 	A faint ghostly image walks beside Cepheus' boat, showing the many times Grace was standing by his side, at the ready to throw down her life for him.
	Cepheus White: 	He looked to his side...and smiled faintly.
Kaorin Sakura: 	The images and light shimmer away, leaving you only with the darkness of the tunnel and the slight aurora overhead. Your boats suddenly reach the tunnels end and dock at the walls, letting you get out with ease.
DNA: 	Cepheus hopped out of the boat and onto the ground, eager to get out of that wooden vessel.
Kaorin Sakura: 	The altars with your Poké Balls are there waiting for you just beside your boat.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yet the area itself is definitely not the entrance where you came from.
	Venec: 	Venec stepped out of the boat, wobbled and fell down.
* Crystal steps out of the boat, picking up Eli's ball.
	Venec: 	"darn boats..."
Danny Green: 	Danny marched out of the boat with a large scowl on his face.
DNA: 	Cepheus then picked up his Poke Ball, holding it tightly in his hands.
	Cepheus White: 	"I hope my mistake hasn't cost us all the badge..."
Danny Green: 	Danny looked at Larry's ball, then grabbed it, ready to release Larry at a moment's notice.
	Venec: 	Venec stood up, getting his legs steady and walked over to the heal ball, releasing Lucy.
* Cepheus White decided to release Grace, to allow her some fresh (?) air again.
	Grace Appara: 	"Arceus that hurt!!!"
	Crystal: 	"Cepheus, stop being so hard on yourself about it. Just take it as a reason to learn more about her."
	Cepheus White: 	"...I'm sorry."
* Grace Appara holds her chest and looks over at Cepheus before grimacing.
	Crystal: 	"Grace, would you like it if Cepheus and I tend to you later?"
	Grace Appara: 	"S-Sorry, Ceph-chan...I...I did hate you when I first laid eyes on you..."
	Cepheus White: 	"...The past is past, isn't it? There's no need to apologize."
	Larry: 	Larry was released from his Poke Ball.
* Grace Appara nods to both Crystal and Cepheus.
	Larry: 	"Danny!" Larry gasped, a little bit damaged.
Danny: 	The two shared a sudden hug.
	Crystal: 	"I'll do the same for Larry and Lucy, with Danny and Venec, if you guys want."
	Danny Green: 	Danny cried. "I'm sorry Larry."
* Crystal releases Eli, who is looking nostalgic.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Loading while you guys have fun.
	Venec: 	Venec looked at the others. They had hard questions, personal questions, hurtful questions. Venec on the other hand turned to Lucy with a smirk. "So singing...huh?"
	Cepheus White: 	"...We still have a battle to win. Let's work together and seize victory."
	Larry: 	"No, you're fine Danny," Larry said, cooing his trainer, "you're okay... you're okay... shhhh..."
	Danny Green: 	Danny cried a little more.
	Larry: 	"Remember," Larry said, "I will never give up on you."
* Crystal pulls out her pokedex to SCANIFY things once they start appearing.
Kaorin Sakura: 	"Relicanth, the longevity Pokémon. Rock and Water type. A rare Pokémon discovered during a deep-sea exploration. It has not changed in over 100 million years."
Kaorin Sakura: 	"Mew, the New Species Pokémon. Psychic type. Because it can use all kinds of moves, many scientists believe Mew to be the ancestor of Pokémon."
Kaorin Sakura: 	"Spiritomb, the Forbidden Pokémon. Ghost and Dark type. Its constant mischief and misdeeds resulted in it being bound to an Odd Keystone by a mysterious spell."
Kaorin Sakura: 	"Weezing, the Poison Gas Pokémon. Poison type. It grows by feeding on gases released by garbage. Though very rare, triplets have been found."
	Cepheus White: 	"It looks as if we are in for a rough battle."
	Crystal: 	"Y-yeah."
* Crystal is surprisingly nervous!
	Cepheus White: 	"Get ready guys. This isn't going to be easy."
	Ann: 	"All of you made it through the tunnel without much problem. This is both surprising and relieving. That means your Pokémon have enough fight in them where they may actually win you this badge."
	Ann: 	"You four against me. I hope your faith is enough to pull you through this. Without further delay, let's get you on to your Gym battle!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Will need Speed stats, please.
	Venec: 	(6)

Avara: 	ending turn

	Danny Green: 	Danny tried to hear what she said from the distance!
* Danny rolls: 1d20+5 => 15 + 5 = 20
You whisper to Danny: "It's alright. I know you all lost, but that's the point of the training, to grow strong. You all did amazingly well, rest up."
	Danny Green: 	"You're so nice to your PokeMon Ann!"
	Ann: 	"Each of you has displayed an amazing bond with your Pokémon this morning. I'm very much impressed."
	Danny Green: 	"But, y'know, now you have to keep your promise.
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny, don't make me slap you."
	Danny Green: 	"You promised that you'd marry me if we beat you, right?"
	Cepheus White: 	"... ..."
	Crystal: 	"... Danny. Corner. Now."
	Ann: 	"I made no such promise."
	Cepheus White: 	"Actually...you know what? Grace, you do the honors."
	Danny Green: 	Danny goes to his corner.
	Grace Appara 4: 	"...I'm not hitting Danny."
	Grace Appara 4: 	"I owe him my life."
	Venec: 	Venec stopped bothering trying to explain Danny to others.
	Cepheus White: 	"...Fair enough."
	Crystal: 	"The corner is punishment enough."
	Cepheus White: 	"...that's true. Now that Danny's being quiet, we can hear what Ann has to say."
	Ann: 	"Each of you displayed love for your Pokémon that cannot be seen, but only felt. Cannot be heard, but only shown through the experiences you've all shared. Today, you learned a fraction of the love you and your Pokémon have and in your final hours of this Gym, it's pulled you through to a victory."
	Ann: 	"As such, I'm proud to present each of you with an Azure Badge, proof that you've overcome this trial."
	Larry: 	"Thank you Ann."
	Larry: 	"It was a fantastic battle," Larry said, "and I hope you're PokeMon are alright."
	Venec: 	"Thank you. It was an honor meeting you in the field."
	Ann: 	"The honor was mine."
	Danny Green: 	Danny was still pouting in his corner.
	Ann: 	"In addition to the badge, please, take this as well."
	Cepheus White: 	"I definitely wasn't expecting such an interesting challenge," Cepheus said, accepting it. "You fought well; I cannot deny that."
* Crystal accepts the badge. "I would've been a lot more worried if I couldn't choose Eli. He was my first pokemon."
	Ann: 	( Hands off the TMG78 to Venec ) "...It's not exactly a fitting gift. And I do hope there never comes a time when you'll need to use this."
	Crystal: 	"What is it?"
	Larry: 	"Woo!"
	Larry: 	Larry looked very proud of everyone.
	Venec: 	Venec took it and slipped it into one of his many coat pockets.
	Ann: 	"TMG78 teaches Healing Wish."
* Ann didn't explain anything more than that.
	Cepheus White: 	"...Ah! I see what you mean."
* Crystal looks up the move on her pokedex.
	Venec: 	Venec nodded. "Sacrifice for the ones you love... that was a running theme in your questions."
	Cepheus White: 	"It lets a Pokemon fully heal one of their companions, but..."
	Cepheus White: 	"...only when their HP has dropped to 0. Like a last-ditch effort to help their allies."
	Crystal: 	"I see..." She pauses, then looks at Ann, "Did something like that happen to your last partner?"
	Venec: 	"HP?" Venec asked.
	Cepheus White: 	"...sorry, health. It's so commonly described as HP where I come from."
Avara: 	a professional scientific measurement of a pokemon's stamina.
	Ann: 	"No. It was something that my boyfriend did to save me and my daughter. And was the last time I saw him."
	Cepheus White: 	"... ...oh my."
* Crystal was using the term partner to avoid specifying boyfriend or girlfriend or husband or wife.
	Venec: 	"Ah... I'm pretty old fashioned." Venec stopped as he heard what she said.
	Crystal: 	"I see..."
	Ann: 	"I don't think he died. I couldn't imagine him ever doing something like that. I just haven't seen him since. He was pretty mysterious like that."
	Crystal: 	"Danny, you can leave the corner now."
	Venec: 	"We'll keep an eye out. We find some pretty strange things, although I doubt you expect much by now."
	Crystal: 	"What was he like? If he's someone we'll recognize we'll give you a call."
	Ann: 	"Your splice is a pretty good marker of strange things."
	Ann: 	"But, if he was involved with anything like that...I don't think it'd still be standing."
	Cepheus White: 	"...'It'?"
	Ann: 	"My boyfriend was the Champion of Kanto 20 years ago."
	Ann: 	"It being Scion."
* Crystal stares.
	Cepheus White: 	"...You know about Scion, then."
	Ann: 	"Everyone does. It's not some secret organization."
	Cepheus White: 	"Ah, my apologies. I just haven't heard much about it since I haven't been in Kanto for long enough."
	Danny Green: 	Danny seemed to realise something.
	Danny Green: 	"Ann...?
	Ann: 	"I don't suppose it'd be big in other regions. It doesn't stretch beyond here."
	Danny Green: 	"A serious question..."
	Ann: 	"Yes?"
	Danny Green: 	"You said you had a daughter?"
	Ann: 	"I do."
	Danny Green: 	Danny waggles his eyebrow.
	Danny Green: 	"Is she pretty?"
	Cepheus White: 	"...Danny..."
	Ann: 	"That depends."
	Danny Green: 	"Well," Danny said, "as pretty as her mother!"
	Ann: 	"I suppose. She takes after her father a lot."
	Danny Green: 	"We must meet her!"
	Ann: 	"I think she surpasses me in that aspect, but I'm fairly biased."
	Ann: 	"She left on her Pokémon journey a few months ago. So, you just might."
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny...if your motives are impure, you're going to pay for it."
	Venec: 	"... how is companionship impure?"
	Cepheus White: 	"I never said it was."
	Danny Green: 	"Good!" Danny nodded, "I will woo her."
	Crystal: 	"... Venec, Danny just wants to get in womens' pants."
	Ann: 	"A respectable trait of men."
	Danny Green: 	"Ann understands perfectly," Danny agreed.
	Grace Appara 4: 	"I did not just hear you say that."
* Crystal is Confused!
	Cepheus White: 	"Was the respectable trait directed at the woo statement or the pants one?"
	Ann: 	"Making light of the topic."
	Ann: 	"I'll never tell."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Ohhhhhhhh dear."
	Danny Green: 	"I have Ann's blessing," Danny said, "now let's find me some pants!"
DNA: 	He said that not because he didn't have a guess at the answer, but...he said that because Danny was way too easy to encourage.
	Lucy: 	"Ann. Could I have your cell phone number?"
	Crystal: 	"... Grace, Cepheus. We have a thing we can do instead of being here."
	Venec: 	Venec shrugged, "To each their own? As long as both partners are happy."
	Ann: 	"Why?"
	Cepheus White: 	"...I agree." Cepheus began walking slowly backwards to excuse himself, being accompanied by 4 images of a beautiful lady.
* Crystal follows Cepheus and his Graceful harem.
	Danny Green: 	"Can I have your cell phone number, as well?"
	Lucy: 	"Because as the daughter of the previous Sinnoh Champion...I'd like it if I could face your daughter in combat one day should I meet her."
* Eli follows Crystal.
	Cepheus White: 	"Grace, do you quite enjoy there being more than one of you? Just curious," he asked as he headed for the exist.
	Ann: 	"Oh sure. I don't mind."
	Cepheus White: 	...exit. welp.
Avara is disconnected.
Avara is disconnected.
	Grace Appara 4: 	"Mmm. Not really."
Avara has connected.
	Lucy: 	"Thank you."
	Cepheus White: 	"Well, it's your call to dispel them or not, so do as you will."
* Lucy reaches into Venec's pants pocket and grabs his Nav. She steps over to Ann and saves her number into the phone.
	Ann: 	"I imagine you all have adventuring, hunting, catching and battling to do now."
	Venec: 	Venec laughed as she did.
	Danny Green: 	"Woo!"
	Danny Green: 	Danny and Larry ran out of the Gym. "ME FIRST!"
	Cepheus White: 	"So, Crystal, where to?"
Avara: 	(unfroze)
	Venec: 	"I really wanted to see Pallet in the sunshine. I'm not sure what everyone else plans to do but I'm in no hurry anywhere."
Danny Green: 	"Let's check on that Buneary again," Danny suggested.
	Crystal: 	"The breeder house will be good for grooming."
	Cepheus White: 	"All right, let's go there first."
	Venec: 	Venec took the Nav back after Ann entered her number, pocketing it.
	Crystal: 	"I don't know if Nuun would've had time to get the questions done yet, but ok."
	Danny Green: 	Danny made sure to walk away now.
Kaorin Sakura: 	I think this is a good spot to end it.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Especially since it's 1 AM.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Grace! You were amazing out there! And you too, boss!)
* Crystal recalls Eli to avoid him getting muddy.
* Crystal then releases Miranda.
