OoC: no, we never traded but just pretend you used your Registeel instead of Rayquaza in that post... we'll trade later.

Smyth: (wanders over to the front counter) uh, hi, could you tell me who my next opponent is?
Clerk: sure... he's... some guy named Aaron. he hasn't been here since his last battle though, so i can't tell you where to find him.
Smyth: that's ok, but the battle starts in 5 minutes... hope he doesn't miss it...

*walks off to find Regan and Gonzo*
Regan: there he is... can't wait until our match!
Smyth: for all you know, this Aaron dude might beat me!
*all three silent, then all burst out laughing at the same time*
Smyth: yeah i know, that was pretty funny...
Gonzo: so... have you decided who's going to win?
Smyth: what do you mean decided?
Regan: we're both going to fight at our fullest, 100%!

Gonzo: That's good! This should be a good battle! I can't wait to see it myself! The clock is ticking, are either of you going to warm up for it?

Ooc: Okay. I'll have Regan make the suggestion about trading soon then.
Regan: Na. I'm already warmed up. Anyway, what type of Pokemon does Aaron use?

Gonzo: Well i'll be back later, i'm going go think about some stuff.

He headed down the lake.

Gonzo: Lugia, in the battle between Smyth and Regan.
Lugia: Smyth has not yet made it through.
Gonzo: Well he will.
Lugia: Unleash, the dangerous battles. The shadow battle. A game they have not yet heard of. A new side to battling.
Gonzo: Well if you want, i'm down with it.

Ooc: So this was that thing you mentioned earlier.
Regan: Smyth, I think Gonzo is planning something.
Smyth: What makes you think that?
Regan: I don't really know, but I have a strange feeling.

Kassie: Deanna! You're changing!

Deanna: You are too..

--

OOC: What Kassie looks like now:

Smyth: well... what should we do?
Regan: i don't know... just be really careful while you battle. ok?
Smyth: yes. you too, when we battle!
Regan: ok. so anyway, what type does Aaron use?
Smyth: i think he uses high level waters...
Regan: oosh, good luck.
Smyth: thanks. well, i'm off to the arena, you gonna watch?
Regan: i guess so, i'll be right there.
*Smyth takes off*

*at the arena*
Announcer: next match! Smyth and Aaron, two of our crowd favorites! would both combatants please step foward!
*Smyth steps foward*
Announcer: Aaron? you have 30 seconds!

*30 seconds pass, and Aaron is nowhere to be found!*
Announcer: by default, Smyth wins!
Smyth: uh... that was a letdown...

Kassie: Deanna, we need to get out!

Deanna: Already on it! *climbs out window, Kassie follows*

*Both girls run towards where Smyth is. Of coarse, he doesn't recognize them.*

Regan: wow... are you happy he bailed?
Smyth: well yes, i am. you see... Kassie still has my pokemon!

*two girls run up to him*
Smyth: uh... hi, can i help you?
Kassie: daddy, it's Kassie!
Smyth: really?
Deanna: and I'm deanna!
Smyth: prove it! you don't look like them!

*Kassie releases Smyth's pokemon*
Smyth: aah, ok.

Adam comes running up

Adam: You left to soon

Deanna: He the one that change us

Kassie: He was testing on us and made us change

Deanna: Don't let him take us again

Adam: Go bayleaf

Flame comes up

Deanna: Flame...he shot flame as well

Smyth: really now? what the hell did you do to my daughters!?
Adam: i...
Smyth: you nothin! and then you shot a pokemon?!
Adam: well...
Smyth: y'know, it's people like you that make me dislike the world today. GO NINETALES! obliterate his bayleef, Blast Burn, 100%!

Adam: GAH! Bayleaf!

Smyth: Now, get out of my face before I give you a blow to the jaw. *as his says this, Kassie and Deanna begin to return to normal.*

Adam: *runs*

Kassie: Daddy! Look, we're normal again!

Deanna: Ya i'm back to normal

Kassie: Me too

Deanna: I get to get flame to the center

Deanna grabs flame and runs to the pokemon center

Smyth: that's good... that's very good...
Kassie: thank you!
Smyth: *hugs them both* my pleasure.
Deanna: can we stay here?
Smyth: yes, certainly!

Kassie: Daddy, I promise not to get myself in anymore trouble.

Smyth: That would be good.

Kassie:
