Kaorin Sakura: 	Dunno who that is.
DNA: 	character from The World Ends With You
Kaorin Sakura: 	I liked the picture though.
DNA: 	Okay, looks like I'm ready to go. Is it acceptable to say that sometime in the morning I borrowed some moves off Miranda (since Ava is not present tonight)?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yes, I'm fine with that.
DNA: 	Okay, looks like I'm totally ready.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(...whoa. Good luck ever statusing Cepheus o.o)

Kaorin Sakura: 	Next 6 hours Next 6 hours. Partly to mostly clear with temperatures steady in the low 40s. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Welcome to the world of Pokémon!
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(42 degrees? yesssssssssssss...)
DNA: 	The morning had come pretty quickly, and with it, there had already been one exhilirating fight today. Soon there would come another.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(I totally cannot wait for the gym fight!) Jupiter said, magnets whirring. (I am ready to go! Come at me, universe!)
	Cepheus White: 	"...If you're thinking about the gym, just remember you are not getting first dibs today."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(I'm not? Why am I n-...ohhhhhhhh, right. Yeah, I'm cool with that.)
	Danny: 	Danny, sighing, seemed to be sunbaking alongside Larry.
	Danny: 	"We are totally awesome Larry," Danny said.
	Larry: 	"Indeed we are," answered Larry.
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny? You seem to be in a better-than-average mood. Why are you so happy right now?"
??? is disconnected.
	Danny: 	"Oh, nothing in particular," Danny asnwered.
	Danny: 	"I was just considering how great it'd be when we defeat the Gym leader."
	Larry: 	"I commend you for your confidence Danny!"
	Danny: 	"Thank you Larry. Whatever 'commend' means."
	Cepheus White: 	"It will be most awesome indeed. Are you prepared?"
	Danny: 	"Yeah, yeah, yeah... totally."
	Danny: 	Danny jumped up from his laying down position.
	Danny: 	"Let's whoop some Pewter Gym bottom!"
* Grace Appara posed.
TBG has connected.
	Grace Appara: 	"This is supposedly the toughest Gym in Kanto! And we're gonna take it by storm!"
* "Tempered Blade" vanished as quickly as it appeared.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Did someone say STORM?)
	Grace Appara: 	( Need to be enforced TBG? )
* Jupiter Roswell got into a battle-ready position!
	Grace Appara: 	"..."
	Grace Appara: 	"Jupiter."
	Danny: 	"That's not what I heard!" Danny said, "I hear they're all wimps!"
	Grace Appara: 	"Why...don't we know Thunder?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Because...Because we don't have the TM for it?)
	Grace Appara: 	"Danny who lied to you?"
	Grace Appara: 	"Why not?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(I really don't know. But! I feel like I'm on the edge of a breakthrough...!)
	Grace Appara: 	"I mean, we're allied to Larry. And then there's Andy. Rain seems like a great strategy."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(True. And it WOULD be pretty cool.)
	Grace Appara: 	"Danny, buy us the Thunder TM."
	Danny: 	"I don't got any money."
	Danny: 	"I spent it all on gifts for Dandy. I needed to win back her affection!"
	Grace Appara: 	"I didn't know you ever spent your money."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(...Danny...really? You had to BUY your way back into good standing?)
	Danny: 	"I save it up in case I have to apologize."
	Danny: 	"There's nothing like money when it comes to apologizing!"
	Grace Appara: 	"...It does have weight behind it."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Please tell me you didn't buy comfort food.)
	Grace Appara: 	"I mean, you guys do work your butts off for money."
	Danny: 	Danny checks how much money he has left. "I only have about 30,000 clams. Whatever that means."
	Grace Appara: 	"..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(...Clams?)
	Grace Appara: 	"Buy us the Thunder TM."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Clams, Danny?"
	Danny: 	"Yes ma'am." Danny made a sad face.
	Danny: 	"I heard it on a television one time."
	Danny: 	"It sounded official."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(She's kinda cute when she's forceful,) is what Jupiter was thinking. No idea if Cepheus was thinking that as well. Maybe, maybe not.
	Danny: 	"Where do I buy Thunder TMs?"
	Cepheus White: 	"They should be in any Trainer Care shop."
	Grace Appara: 	"The blue building across the river."
	Grace Appara: 	"What Ceph-chan said."
	Grace Appara: 	"Oh, Jupiter. I learned something today."
	Danny: 	"Then! I lead us to victory!"
	Danny: 	Danny rushed ahead.
	Larry: 	Larry ambled in the same direction.
	Grace Appara: 	"C'mon, Ceph-chan!"
	Larry: 	"It's such a nice day that I can't help but walks nice and slow."
	Cepheus White: 	"And what did you learn?"
DNA: 	Wait, said by Jupiter, my mistake.
	Danny: 	Danny, realising that wasn't very fit at all, had made it over the bridge before huffing very loudly.
	Grace Appara: 	"That your nickname is July."
	Danny: 	"So close..." he said, reaching out to the building, "but oh so far..."
	Grace Appara: 	"It's cute."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(It most certainly is NOT, and you KNOW it!)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(I am not CUTE! I'm cool and badass!)
	Grace Appara: 	"...You're also loud and obnoxious."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Never said I wasn't, but that's part of my charm!) He winked.
	Larry: 	"Danny has another nickname for Jupiter," Larry mused aloud. He appeared to make the comment to noone in particular as if speaking to himself.
	Grace Appara: 	"You can only have charm if you plan to breed."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Can't you just call me Jupiter?)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(It IS my given name...)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(And that is so not true. There are many different types of charm!)
	Grace Appara: 	"Ceph-chan. What do you think of the nickname July for Jupiter?"
	Larry: 	Larry appeared to perk up at the mention of breeding. "It's funny. Danny was rather forceful about using the Attract TM on me. He said it would add to my mystique."
	Larry: 	Larry nodded in thought.
	Grace Appara: 	"..." Grace turned slowly to Larry.
	Grace Appara: 	"...While it may give you an interesting and pleasing aroma. Don't. Ever. Use it on me."
	Cepheus White: 	"July? It doesn't really suit him; he's more so used to cold weather."
	Cepheus White: 	"Besides, Jupiter is fitting because he is shaped somewhat like a celestial body to begin with."
	Larry: 	"Never Grace," Larry answered, surprised. "I respect you too much."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(THANK you.)
	Grace Appara: 	"Thank you Larry."
	Grace Appara: 	"Wait...so...he's fat and hollow is what you're saying, Ceph-chan?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	Jupiter suddenly jolted his head around and was now in Grace's face. (I am most certainly NOT fat OR hollow! I like the shape of my body the way it is!)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(If you weren't dating the boss-man I'd slap you SO hard that I'd be now looking at the back of your head.)
	Danny: 	Danny can be seen over the bridge, on the ground, huffing and puffing to catch his breath.
	Cepheus White: 	"Jupiter! Please, calm down."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(But she's making fun of meeeeeee...)
	Grace Appara: 	"Now, now. I never called you that. Ceph-chan did. I like July for you. July is a wonderful month."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(July is a month in SUMMER! Summer sucks...)
	Larry: 	"Jupiter is a wonderful planet," Larry nodded, trying to give credence to his friend.
	Cepheus White: 	"I said he has the semblance of a celestial body. That doesn't imply fat or hollow."
	Cepheus White: 	"It implies a smooth shape that inspires awe at all who behold it."
	Grace Appara: 	"...So you're not referring to the planet, Jupiter?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Thanks Larry.) And then when Cepheus made that other comment he started blushing and was at a loss for words.
	Cepheus White: 	"I was, actually. That is the basis for his name."
	Cepheus White: 	"It's known for creating storms of unparalleled magnitude."
	Larry: 	Larry gave his friend a cheerful smile.
	Larry: 	Well, sort of. It was difficult to tell when Larry was smiling. His face always looked the same.
	Grace Appara: 	"Jupiter is the gas giant, right? The planet with its intense gravitational pull and eternal massive storm that can been seen across the cosmos?"
	Larry: 	His aura definitely became more happier to be around.
	Cepheus White: 	"That is the one, yes."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Makes sense, given my incredible...)
* Jupiter Roswell pulled out a pair of shades and put them on.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(...magnetism!)
	Larry: 	"We should look to getting Danny to use the Attract TM on you Jupiter," Larry kidded.
DNA: 	(yyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh)
	Grace Appara: 	"It has an orbital period I think of almost 12 Earth years."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Psh, i'm already attractive enough as it is, my friend.)
	Grace Appara: 	"71492 radius."
	Grace Appara: 	"Day lengths roughly 10 hours."
	Grace Appara: 	"With a mass of 318 times Earths. Or 318 Earths."
	Larry: 	Larry chuckled good-naturedly.
	Danny: 	Danny, finally breathing easier after his wait, got back up on his feet.
	Grace Appara: 	"It also has lethal levels of radiation."
	Danny: 	"Hurry up people!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(That explains why I'm so impatient! And sexy.)
	Danny: 	"We have a Thunder TM to buy!"
	Grace Appara: 	"Thundah!!"
	Grace Appara: 	"Let's go!"
	Cepheus White: 	"Coming, Danny!"
	Larry: 	Larry moseyed to stand beside Danny.
	Larry: 	"You shouldn't run so hard," Larry said with a hint of worry.
	Danny: 	"I am fine! I am tough! Like a rock!"
	Danny: 	"The strongest rock of them all!"
	Danny: 	Danny stomped ahead to get to the blue building.
	Danny: 	The group enter the Trainer Care Shop.
	Danny: 	"I am here!" Danny declared. "The one who defeated Mewtwo with his bare hands!"
	Danny: 	"I am here to complete my request!"
	Danny: 	"Quest even!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Hey, what about the guy who beat Red using only 1 Pokemon?)
* Jupiter Roswell pointed with both of his hands to Cepheus.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(THIS GUY~)
	Nanetta: 	"Hello. Welcome to the Trainer Care shop. What can I do for you?"
	Grace Appara: 	"I thought Ceph-chan used two."
	Danny: 	"I am in need of a Thunder!"
	Danny: 	"What is the best price you can give me for a TM of that ilk m'lady!"
	Danny: 	Danny guessed this was a woman.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Well, Exxus did the setup, but the rest was alllllllllll Gigas.)
	Nanetta: 	"Thunder is TM25. It's 5100."
	Danny: 	"Hmmm. 5100. What if I give you this smile?"
	Danny: 	Charisma Check!
* Danny rolls: 1d20+6 => 2 + 6 = 8
	Danny: 	Danny sneezed while smiling.
	Cepheus White: 	"Needs more work, Danny," Cepheus said with a chuckle.
	Nanetta: 	"Haha, cute, kid. Still 5100."
	Danny: 	Danny made a sad face, then fished out the 5100. He gave it to the nice woman.
	Danny: 	"Thank you for the Thunder TM m'lady! We will sing of your deed done this day!"
	Danny: 	His face quickly turned into a great grin.
	Nanetta: 	"No problem. Be careful in Stygian."
	Danny: 	Danny looked at the others, "Now what?" He whispered.
	Danny: 	"We will m'lady! We're heroes!"
	Grace Appara: 	"Now we challenge the Gym?"
	Cepheus White: 	"Now we walk outside and apply the TM."
	Danny: 	"Good thinking Cepheus."
	Danny: 	Danny and Larry walked outside.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Me first! ...Pretty please?)
	Danny: 	"Well! Let's see!"
* Jupiter Roswell moved up to Danny, very enthusiastic of the knowledge he was about to receive.
	Grace Appara: 	"Does anyone remember the rules for this one?"
	Danny: 	Danny applies the Thunder TM to Jupiter.
	Cepheus White: 	"The gym, or the TM?"
	Grace Appara: 	"The Gym."
	Danny: 	"I think we're battling alongside our Pokemon," Danny said thoughtfully.
	Cepheus White: 	"The object is survival. We have to KO the opposing trainers, rather than just the Pokemon - while at the same time not being KO'd ourselves."
	Cepheus White: 	"In short, the trainers are the main targets...and there is a chance of death."
	Danny: 	You got the impression that Larry and Danny were speaking telepathically. It may be the reason Danny answered with that knowledge in mind.
* Jupiter Roswell acquired Thunder!
	Danny: 	"Now I pocket this thing-a-ma-bob!"
	Danny: 	Danny pocketed the TM.
	Grace Appara: 	"Not gonna teach it to Larry?"
	Danny: 	"Do you want to learn it Larry?"
	Larry: 	Larry shook his head. "No need."
* Red steps out of the Trainer Care shop.
	Red: 	"...Cepheus. Afternoon."
	Cepheus White: 	"Oh, Red! Hello there. Pleasure seeing you again."
* Grace Appara flinched at the feeling of Red being nearby and turned slowly.
* Grace Appara gave a graceful curtsey.
	Danny: 	Danny looked at Red.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Yo!) Jupiter waved.
	Red: 	"Likewise."
	Danny: 	Then he looked at Cepheus. "Who's this?"
	Red: 	"...Are you a twin by chance?"
	Cepheus White: 	"This? This is Red. Rather famous trainer in Kanto."
	Danny: 	"Never heard of him."
	Cepheus White: 	Cepheus froze up a small bit when Red asked the question. "...W-why do you ask?"
	Red: 	"..."
	Danny: 	"Hey! You!" Danny pointed at Red. "Do you want an autograph? We beat Mewtwo."
	Danny: 	"You would totally want one. We're famous."
	Pikachu: 	"Interesting reaction."
	Pikachu: 	"The green one's a loudmouth."
	Danny: 	Danny stared at the PIkachu. "It's a loudmouth Pikachu!"
* Pikachu had his head sticking out of the top of Red's jacket.
	Danny: 	"Luckily, it's charismatic and adorable."
	Cepheus White: 	Cepheus was moderately stunned at Red's question. It seemed so...unlikely that anyone would ask him something like that.
	Pikachu: 	( Right click Red and click show handout to view full photo )
	Larry: 	"Be polite Danny!" Larry ordered. "I am honoured to finally meet you!"
	Larry: 	Larry took a step forward in awe.
	Larry: 	"I am very pleased to meet you... you are an idol to me... Pikachu!"
	Pikachu: 	"Heh. You're too kind."
	Larry: 	Larry bowed a couple times in great respect.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Dang, that Pikachu gave us a run for our money...)
	Pikachu: 	"Before Red says anything else, you guys gonna take on Stygian Gym? I think that's what we overheard."
	Larry: 	"Yes Sir."
	Pikachu: 	"Great! Due to the mechanics of the Gym, I think it'd be safer for Red to talk about it after the Gym."
	Pikachu: 	"Your sister I mean."
	Cepheus White: 	"How th-"
	Cepheus White: 	"How did you even know I had a sister?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(You have a SISTER? I could have sworn you were an only child!)
	Pikachu: 	"Yeah? I'm sure you're awfully curious but we're not gonna let these things cloud your focus in the Gym."
	Cepheus White: 	"I'm already winded just by you bringing it up. Just...how?"
	Pikachu: 	"You could very well die there and that's bad. So! Win and we'll tell you everything we know. Sound fair?"
	Danny: 	"Die? Impossible!"
	Cepheus White: 	"...I...I guess so..."
	Danny: 	"We're too awesome to die!"
	Danny: 	"I have super powers."
	Cepheus White: 	Cepheus wasn't worried about losing, but he was altogether surprised about what Red and his Pikachu said.
	Red: 	"Pikachu you're bad at baiting."
	Red: 	"Cepheus, I met her."
	Red: 	"Beat the Gym and I'll tell you where."
	Cepheus White: 	"...!!"
	Cepheus White: 	It was everything he could muster to keep from screaming "WHERE?!" but he restrained himself with all his might.
	Cepheus White: 	"...So, I'm fighting to find out where my sister is?"
	Cepheus White: 	"... ... ..."
	Cepheus White: 	"This is now a fight I cannot afford to lose."
	Red: 	"Exactly."
	Danny: 	Danny looked to Cepheus, a person appearing like he was in turmoil, then to Red, a man hanging an answer over his head. This meant life and death to Cepheus, it was obvious.
	Cepheus White: 	"Not like I planned on losing before, but..."
	Red: 	"Don't let it cloud your focus. The point is survival. Live and win. Simple."
	Danny: 	"So, you have a sister huh?"
	Danny: 	Danny looked to Red.
	Cepheus White: 	"...I do."
	Danny: 	"Is she hot?"
* Cepheus White punched Danny in the gut.
	Grace Appara: 	"..."
	Cepheus White: 	"Don't EVER make a comment like that again."
	Danny: 	"Erk!"
	Cepheus White: 	"Or I swear, I will send Jupiter after you."
	Danny: 	Danny fell to the ground and started crying.
* Grace Appara watched the event unflold before her.
	Larry: 	"Cepheus... remember you are an adult... Danny is just a boy..."
	Larry: 	Larry shook his head in disapproval.
	Cepheus White: 	"I know! It's just..."
	Grace Appara: 	"Ceph-chan...stop it."
	Cepheus White: 	"I can't believe he'd say something so inconsiderate."
	Grace Appara: 	"You can't believe it?!"
	Cepheus White: 	"...Okay, you're right, maybe I can."
	Danny: 	Danny struggled to get back up. He sniffled. "I am sorry Cepheus."
	Cepheus White: 	"Still doesn't help..."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Danny, I'm sorry."
	Cepheus White: 	"I shouldn't have punched you. It's just..."
	Danny: 	"But, you didn't answer my question..."
	Grace Appara: 	"That's better. Now, make up hug."
	Grace Appara: 	"Danny, stop asking about a siblings preference in their physical appearance and pleasing aroma."
	Grace Appara: 	"That's wrong."
	Grace Appara: 	"You'll need to ask someone like Red that."
	Cepheus White: 	"Grace...no."
	Red: 	"Don't dare."
	Grace Appara: 	"What? It's how it works."
	Danny: 	"Okay." Danny sniffled.
* Cepheus White was ready to give Danny his make-up hug.
	Danny: 	Danny didn't want a hug.
* Grace Appara narrowed her eyes into thin slits.
	Danny: 	"I don't want a hug. That'd be fruity and stuff."
	Grace Appara: 	"...Hug Green Danny. Hug and like it."
	Danny: 	"We can shake hands! Like men!"
	Cepheus White: 	"...Danny, do I look fruity to you?"
	Danny: 	"Fine."
	Danny: 	"We will hug!"
	Danny: 	Danny gives Cepheus a MANLY hug.
	Danny: 	Only fondling his bottom a little.
	Cepheus White: 	Cepheus returns with a hug of similar manlitude.
	Cepheus White: 	No fondling involved.
* Jupiter Roswell slapped Danny's fondling hand.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Quit it.)
	Danny: 	"I apologize! I didn't mean..."
	Danny: 	Danny pulled away and straightened up.
	Danny: 	He sniffled.
	Cepheus White: 	"It's fine. Now, let's just focus on the gym fight, shall we?"
	Danny: 	"So," he looked to Red, "do you have siblings?"
	Red: 	( That is an interesting question. Let me check. )
	Cepheus White: 	(Afaik he does not, but I could be wrong.)
* Jupiter Roswell was still blown away. He had no idea Cepheus had any siblings at all, and now he got called out on it by Red.
	Red: 	( Well, apparently his name is Isamu Akai with Red as a nickname but no, no siblings. )
	Jupiter Roswell: 	It was almost too much to handle!
	Red: 	"I don't. No."
	Grace Appara: 	"Now, before we go."
	Grace Appara: 	"I have a very important question."
	Grace Appara: 	"The hell is a twin?"
	Cepheus White: 	"Grace, are you familiar at all with the process of childbirth?"
	Danny: 	"I am. I am a Breeder after all."
DNA: 	(Danny's a twin?)
	Danny: 	"First, there is a lot of horror... then there is more horror... more horror... and then an egg is produced."
	Grace Appara: 	"I am but not with that word."
	Grace Appara: 	"Does it mean a litter?"
	Cepheus White: 	"Most human babies develop one at a time in the mother. Twins are different in that there are two babies present there at once."
	Cepheus White: 	"They develop at the same rate and they're born within only a few minutes of each other."
	Grace Appara: 	"So, it's a small litter?"
	Cepheus White: 	"Humans only give birth to 1 child at a time, standardly. So having 2 is quite astounding."
	Danny: 	"Yep."
	Cepheus White: 	"You could think of it as a small litter, though."
	Danny: 	"I am totally not a twin, though."
	Red: 	"The thing they're forgetting to mention are the similar traits."
	Red: 	"While Pokémon can have as many as 7 eggs in a single sitting, they don't share physical traits."
	Red: 	"Twins typically do. And are usually very mentally connected to one another."
	Cepheus White: 	"Depends on if they're identical or fraternal, though. Identical twins have virtually identical traits, while fraternal ones can be completely different."
	Danny: 	"It's obvious Larry and I are twins!"
	Danny: 	Danny grinned.
	Red: 	"Fraternal twins must be of the same sex. It's possible for twins of the opposite sex ot share virtually identical traits but they're still called fraternal."
	Red: 	to*
* Grace Appara absorbed the information like a sponge.
DNA: 	(fraternal twins can be of different sexes)
Kaorin Sakura: 	( Identical twins are only of the same sex. Red was making the point that traits can be identical on opposite sexes despite the classification. )
DNA: 	(Ah, okay. Thought that might have been it but wasn't sure. Carry on.)
	Danny: 	Danny's face screwed up for a second. "Wait. I think I recognize you Red," Danny thought.
	Danny: 	"Weren't you that guy that got beaten by Mewtwo?"
	Red: 	"...I am."
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny, I know what you're going to say next..."
	Cepheus White: 	"...I'd advise you probably not say it."
	Danny: 	"Haha!" Danny laughed at Red.
	Danny: 	"Sucks for you. We totally beat Mewtwo."
	Danny: 	"I beat him in an arm wrestle, actually."
	Cepheus White: 	"As I recall, Mewtwo was holding back."
	Danny: 	"Well," Danny said, "he was holding back against you. But not me!"
	Danny: 	"I was a real challenge."
	Cepheus White: 	"...I wasn't in the fight, remember?"
	Grace Appara: 	"Mewtwo wasn't using his actual team."
	Grace Appara: 	"And to be honest, Danny, you didn't arm wrestle him. You're both Psychics."
	Danny: 	"See, holding back against you."
	Red: 	"I wouldn't call Mewtwo a Psychic."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Hey, Danny! Boss-man beat Red fair and square in a 1-on-1, so he TOTALLY trumps your accomplishment.)
	Red: 	"His previous Trainer made a point to physically train him in martial combat."
	Danny: 	"But Red lost to Mewtwo."
	Danny: 	"See, it goes me, Mewtwo, Cepheus, then Red... on the totom poll of awesome..."
	Pikachu: 	"I'd like to point out that it was barely."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Red lost to Mewtwo who wasn't holding back. Cepheus beat Red who wasn't holding back. You beat Mewtwo who WAS holding back.)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Your accomplishment doesn't mean much, you know...)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(At least, not in the grand scheme of things.)
DNA: 	(Who's Pikachu's comment directed at? Danny, or Jupiter?)
	Pikachu: 	( Danny. About Red losing to Mewtwo. )
DNA: 	(okay, just checking.)
	Danny: 	"You still lost. Look to my totom poll. It explains everything." Danny handwaved.
DNA: 	(totem pole)
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny...shouldn't we be getting ready for the gym challenge?"
	Red: 	"You're earning badges. You'll face Mewtwo alone eventually. And by then, Mewtwo will be forced to face you with his all. Let me know how your totem pole goes then."
	Danny: 	"Yeah! We have REAL challenges to worry about. Not has-beens!"
	Danny: 	Danny stuck his tongue out at Red.
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny...apologize."
	Red: 	"He doesn't have to."
	Red: 	"But, we're both Trainers."
	Red: 	"After you face Carlos and heal, come talk to me again."
	Cepheus White: 	"I plan to do so, right away."
	Red: 	"We'll battle. The victor can decide what's true."
	Danny: 	"Maybe."
	Grace Appara: 	"...What is this? 2 decades ago?"
	Danny: 	"I might forget with being awesome and all."
	Grace Appara: 	"That's not how you decide things now."
	Red: 	"This is Pokémon. It's always how you decide things."
	Grace Appara: 	"...Wait....what?"
	Danny: 	Danny scratched the bottom of his chin. "Red speaks the truth."
	Danny: 	"Only the MANLY may survive."
	Danny: 	"It's why we have hairy chests. To survive."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(I don't even have a chest.)
	Cepheus White: 	"...Danny, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to get going towards the gym as soon as we can..."
	Danny: 	"Okay! Let's go!"
	Danny: 	Danny walked to the challenge that awaited them!
	Cepheus White: 	"Red...when I come back...I want to hear everything you know."
	Red: 	"I'll be at the Center."
	Cepheus White: 	"All right."
	Cepheus White: 	He glanced down at his right wrist for a brief moment, looking at the grey band now affixed thereon. "...Well, Grace, are you ready?"
	Grace Appara: 	"Always."
	Cepheus White: 	"Excellent." He smiled.
	Danny: 	"Phewf!"
	Danny: 	"That was a long walk!"
	Danny: 	"Wow! Look at this place!"
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny, you need to stay in shape."
	Danny: 	Danny looked at the building.
	Cepheus White: 	"And yes, I agree. The gym is quite impressive."
	Danny: 	"Let's beat these people! We can do it!"
	Cepheus White: 	"Yes!"
	Cepheus White: 	Cepheus calmly walked up to the front door and opened it, looking inside.
Danny: 	Danny followed his friend.
	Stygian Gym: 	The doors open with loud moaning squeaks. You can only see into the building a few feet ahead of you. The place was coated in darkness.
	Danny: 	Danny yelled out. "We have come!"
	Stygian Gym: 	The hollowed words "Come...deeper..." caresses your ears from midst the darkness.
	Danny: 	Danny totally came deeper.
Cepheus White: 	"Jupiter, can you give us some light? It's pitch black in here."
	Cepheus White: 	he said this as he took steps carefully inward.
	Larry: 	Larry does the same thing.
	Larry: 	Using his power of Glow.
	Stygian Gym: 	As both Jupiter and Larry turn on their glows, the pathway lights up a bit. You can see black grass and red dirt road leading deeper into the Gym. As you step in, the plants: Flowers, trees, bushes and all reflect this odd colouration. It's but a short walk before you finally make it to a staircase leading up. You can hear the flick of a lighter and somewhere high above the staircase you could see five faces.
	Carlos: 	"Greetings, challengers. And welcome to Stygian Gym. Home to the place where your instincts take hold. Fight. Or flight."
	Cepheus White: 	(It looks...so strange in here...They probably did this on purpose.)
	Danny: 	Danny, suddenly looking nervous and fearful, looked up at Carlos. "H-h-hello..."
	Danny: 	"I am Danny. And this is Cepheus. We're trainers from Viridian wanting to take on your Gym."
	Carlos: 	"I am Carlos. Leader of Stygian. I see two of you."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Hello," Cepheus said, looking rather calm.
	Danny: 	Danny looked rather frightened and pathetic at the moment.
	Carlos: 	"As such, Danny and Cepheus, you'll be tasked to select my partner. Please, choose one of my four underlings."
	Masten: 	"Masten."
	Adory: 	"Adory."
	Sarah: 	"Sarah."
	Tamara: 	"Tamara."
	Danny: 	Danny blinked a couple times. "Is Adory a girl or boy? I can't tell."
	Cepheus White: 	"...A 2 on 2 fight, then..."
	Danny: 	"Cepheus?"
	Adory: 	"I'm a man."
	Cepheus White: 	"I get the feeling either Masten or Tamara would be our best pick...I don't know for sure. Call it a vibe."
	Danny: 	"Oh."
	Danny: 	Danny gave him a nervous smile. "Hi Mister!" Danny bowed nine times. "I am proud to meet you."
	Danny: 	It was all very formal, simple and nervous.
	Danny: 	"I will go with whatever you say Mister Cepheus!"
	Danny: 	"I am just a new, weak trainer. You are far more smarter about this Pokemon thing than me."
* Carlos lips curl upward into a smile from Danny's statements.
	Carlos: 	"So, I have the need to ask. Slowbro. Are you the Trainer or is the green haired boy the Trainer?"
	Larry: 	"Um, Slowking."
	Larry: 	"But Danny is my trainer."
	Larry: 	"He is a very good trainer."
	Carlos: 	"My apologies, pink Pokémon were never my specialty."
	Carlos: 	"So, you are not part of the Team Oakwood that hails from Viridian?"
	Larry: 	Larry raised his eyebrows.
	Danny: 	"Erm, um..."
	Danny: 	"Cepheus?"
	Danny: 	Danny looked nervous.
	Carlos: 	"Rumored to have defeated Mewtwo in a brawl and days later, I hear Red, legendary trainer or the previous age, lost to a member of the same Oakwood as well? Surely, this is not all just a coincidence."
	Carlos: 	trainer of the*
	Cepheus White: 	"You're correct...I defeated Red in a one-on-one battle."
	Cepheus White: 	"And yes, we are part of the Team Oak to which you're referring."
	Cepheus White: 	"As for who else we'd like to fight...I choose Masten."
	Masten: 	"Heh. Alright, I get to be part of the show today!"
	Cepheus White: 	"I look forward to it."
	Carlos: 	"As you wish."
	Carlos: 	"Now, to go over the rules..."
* Jupiter Roswell retreated, since he would not be first up today.
	Stygian Gym: 	The lights they all carry dissipate and the only area with illumination are where you are.
	Carlos: 	"Stygian Gym relishes in survival. We fight in areas pitch black, just like the night out in the wild."
	Carlos: 	"What is a Human without his Pokémon? Furthermore, what is a Pokémon without their Trainer? While the world advances today and things aren't the same, the basics still apply."
	Danny: 	"What are the basics? I'm just a weak, new trainer..."
	Carlos: 	"If the Trainer is defeated, the Pokémon is at a disadvantage. So, the Trainer needs to know how to stay alive."
	Carlos: 	"So, the goal of Stygian is not the defeat of your opponents team. It's not answering any questions. It's not make it to this location or find this item."
	Carlos: 	"It's defeat your opponent Trainers."
	Cepheus White: 	"Good to know."
	Carlos: 	"We have no medics here. That's hardly fitting for this Gym. So know that you and your Pokémon can die here."
	Cepheus White: 	Cepheus twitched a bit, but quickly regained his composure. He was not going to die here...especially seeing how Danny was nearby.
	Carlos: 	"So, Tamara, could you please escort them to the battlefield?"
	Tamara: 	"Yes, sir."
	Danny: 	Danny waggled his eyebrows as Tamara. "Hi good-looking. I am just a new, weak trainer. Feel like teaching me stuff?"
	Cepheus White: 	Cepheus quietly followed Tamara to the designated place.
Danny: 	Danny tagged along.
	Tamara: 	"Here is the entrance. The moment you enter, you're in combat. You're limited to three Pokémon for this event. Use anymore and you'll forfeit the match for your whole team."
	Danny: 	Danny made a sad face. "It's very dark and scary."
Cepheus White: 	"Three for each of us, or three total? I assume three each."
	Tamara: 	"Three each."
	Cepheus White: 	"Noted."
	Tamara: 	"Good luck."
	Danny: 	"Okay." Danny nodded eleven times.
	Danny: 	"...it's very dark..."
	Cepheus White: 	Cepheus gave Grace a quick hug before the fight started. "Don't worry. We can do this - together. I know it."
	Danny: 	Danny whispered to Cepheus, "Do you think they believed me about being new as a Trainer?"
	Grace Appara: 	"We got this." Grace hugged Cepheus back.
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny, it doesn't matter whether they believed you or not - they are not going to go easy on you. Now, let's go!"
	Danny: 	"Oh poo."

	Danny: 	Danny stares at the randomly appearing Carlos. "That guy just appeared out of nowhere!"
	Carlos: 	« 4d12+16+16 = 19 + 16 + 16 = 51 » Physical Steel Damage!
	Carlos: 	( Not whole damage. )

	Grace Appara: 	For some reason, Grace appeared completely unaffected.
* Weavile expects the attack to deal massive damage to the buffing that had happened and the fact that he hit a Gardevoir. It should've killed her! Yet, he felt the attack deal no damage. None at all. He doesn't quite have the time to contemplate what happened as he passes out at her feet.

DNA: 	Didn't work out.
	Danny: 	Prerequisites: Empath At-Will Target: A Pokemon or Trainer taking damage. Effect: You may half the damage the target takes. If you do, subtract the amount of damage you prevent from your HP, then subtract another 5 HP from your HP for each time you’ve used Pain Share during that day before this instance.
DNA: 	now, let's see...
	Masten: 	( Let me know if it hits. )
DNA: 	It hits. Total damage is 63.
	Danny: 	Halve that.
	Masten: 	( 31 )
DNA: 	31.5. Who's taking the extra point?
	Danny: 	I will.
	Masten: 	( No one, we round down. )
	Danny: 	Danny loses 36 hit points.
DNA: 	No, you have to take the extra point in this case. Look again.
DNA: 	you used Pain Share before? When was this?

	Danny: 	Oh, I thought I had to that pay that for the first time.
	Danny: 	Danny is healed and gains 5 hit points.
DNA: 	after the first use per day you have to pay.

	Danny: 	Prerequisites: Empath, 16 INT, Pain Share Daily Target: Pokemon or Trainers. Effect: Use the Move Pain Split. Using this on a target leaves discoverable psychic residue.
	Danny: 	Add the user’s and the target’s current HP together and divide the value by 2, calling the result X. The user and target’s HP are set to X. If X exceeds a target’s or user’s full HP, the excess is ignored and they are set to full HP.

* Carlos runs over to Cepheus throws an uppercut! « 1d20-3 = 9 - 3 = 6 » Physical.

* Carlos swats the flames away with ease.
	Cepheus White: 	"...You're not going to make this easy, are you?"

Cepheus White has received initiative.
	Cepheus White: 	Looking at the map first...
	Cepheus White: 	"Hmm..."
Cepheus White whispers: (via telepathy) Do you think trying out your Blast Burn is a good idea, Grace?
DNA: 	(Actually...on second thought...)
You whisper to DNA: Yep!
DNA: 	(I just had a better idea)
	Cepheus White: 	"Grace, time to be confusing."
DNA: 	(Original being the Southeast one)
	Cepheus White: 	The effect got mimicked...
	Grace Appara: 	( Just edit the token that's real and put real in the comments.)
	Cepheus White: 	Considering my trainer action
	Cepheus White: 	Efficiency Boost. Any d20s rolled by an ally next round can add 6 to it.
DNA: 	Pass.
Danny has received initiative.
	Larry: 	Suddenly, Larry started to jiggle...

	Danny: 	Danny sighed. "Woo!"
	Danny: 	He walked up to Carlos and extended his hand.
	Carlos: 	"You two really put the survive in survival, that's for sure."
	Cepheus White 3: 	"I have to say...that wasn't easy."
	Danny: 	"I think it's fair to admit now that I tricked you; we weren't really new, weak trainers. We're actually quite strong."
	Danny: 	"Hehe."
	Carlos: 	"I was aware. I watch TV you know."
	Cepheus White 2: 	"But, I have to owe our victory to teamwork. We couldn't have done it alone."
	Carlos: 	"Of course. Such is the goal of Stygian to teach."
	Danny: 	"Oh you, it was a perfect plan," Danny nodded, "I understand. It explains why you sucked so bad against us. You weren't trying your best."
	Carlos: 	"Relying on each other, Trainer and Pokémon alike, that is the purpose. No one alone survives."
	Danny: 	"Just trying to help a couple newbie trainers out. It was all thanks to my dastardly plan."
	Cepheus White 2: 	"No, Danny, I think he was doing all he could to stop us. But there is the matter of knowing the battlefield."
	Carlos: 	"And being evasive pesky critters, but such is the way of survival."
	Cepheus White 2: 	"Whatever it takes to keep going...and it worked."
	Carlos: 	"And that's the point."
	Cepheus White 3: 	"I suppose you two have taught us that lesson."
	Carlos: 	"Survival was all we had 20 years ago."
	Danny: 	"We were able to beat Mewtwo and Red. Those were easy matches. You actually did a lot better," Danny said casually, "because we didn't even need to pull out the big guns."
	Cepheus White 3: 	"Twenty years ago...that figure's popping up again."
	Danny: 	Danny indicated the balls on his belt.
	Cepheus White 2: 	"Danny...Red was not easy."
	Carlos: 	"And it's all but stuck around. It's not as important today to everyone. And it's an important lesson to learn."
	Cepheus White 2: 	"Were it not for some quick thinking, I would have lost."
	Danny: 	"Don't worry Sir."
	Cepheus White 3: 	"...I know a lot what survival is like. It's extremely important. Life is something precious, to hang on to with all that we have."
	Danny: 	"We're geniuses."
	Danny: 	"Oh, and that Tamara girl. I was totally going to ask her out on a date. She needs to teach me how to battle and stuff, being a new trainer and all."
	Carlos: 	"A battle is a thing of chance. There is no catch all to victory. There's always something or someone out there with the exact style to cripple you. That's why strategy and allies are important. Cover your weaknesses."
	Cepheus White 2: 	"Heh, I think the jig is now long up, Danny."
	Danny: 	"Maybe."
	Carlos: 	"Anyway, here are your Stygian badges. You two deserve it."
	Danny: 	"Thanks."
	Danny: 	Danny pocketed the badge, then grinned at Carlos.
	Carlos: 	« (80*65)*1.35 = 80 * 65 * 1.35 = 7020.00 »
	Cepheus White 3: 	Cepheus graciously accepted the badge. "Thank you very much, sir."
	Danny: 	"Now to brag to Red about my badge. He'll be so jealous."
	Danny: 	"That reminds me, didn't he promise something for winning?"
	Cepheus White 3: 	"Oh, Red! That's right! We need to find him!"
	Cepheus White 3: 	"...But before I do..."
	Danny: 	Danny nodded.
DNA: 	Then the two Cepheus hugged Grace simultaneously.
	Carlos: 	( 27020 ¥ awarded. )
	Cepheus White 3: 	"We did it! You were stupendous out there!" he yelled excitedly.
	Danny: 	Danny gagged at the romantic sight.
DNA: 	I think that means that Jupiter gets to talk now.
	Carlos: 	« 5850+5200+5850+6500+4800 = 5850 + 5200 + 5850 + 6500 + 4800 = 28200 » XP earned.
DNA: 	whoo! \o/
* Grace Appara giggled happily at the embracing!
