Fun at the Gym (Open)

[Principal Sash]

The weekend had finally arrived, and Kiki decided to enjoy it by having some fun with her Pokemon. She figured she would check out the gym and see what is was all about. She took along a baseball and glove with her so that they would have something to play with. No one else was around when she entered, which was fine with her. She released her three Pokemon, and all of them stood in a circle. "Hey, guys," she said, smiling at each other in turn. She held up the baseball. "Ready to have some fun?"

<Yes, yes!> Chomper said, jumping up and down excitedly.

Alice, who was standing next to him, smirked. <Me too.> She took out her vines so that she could catch the ball.

Penelope was placed on the other side of the Totodile. <Toss it to me! I'll show you what I can do!>

Kiki smiled at the responses she received. "Ok, here you go." She tossed the ball to Penelope, who balanced it on her head before pushing out to Alice. Alice caught the pall with her vines and passed it to Chomper. Soon, Kiki had the ball again, and the process was renewed.

The weekend had come which meant one thing for the teen, naps. At least it would if her new water pokemon didn't decide that she would much rather play than sleep. The little bugger kept popping bubbles in the girl's face and in the end Talos gave up. So while one snivy sat on her shoulder, the other was running around everywhere looking for something fun. It was no use to put the pokemon back in her ball for she would just break free again and spit more water at the duo. Talos for one didn't want to get any wetter or let the egg she was carrying get drowned because of one little bored azurill.

They had just been wandering around when Azure heard something and was off toward the source. Prince followed after on Talos' command and soon enough both pokemon went running into the gym, Azure's eye gleaming all the while. "That looks fun! Lets go play fancy pants!"

[/color] She jumped up and down excitedly. Prince had caught up to her in time to hear it. He shrugged, "I do not think that our Lady will mind."[/color] He hadn't even finished when the azurill went charging into the game, bouncing on her tail for attention. "Here! Here! Lemme play too!" An adorable sight when she wiggled her ears.

Talos had just barely made it to the door in the meantime, leaning against the support with her egg in her arms. "Yo, sorry 'bout this." She smiled after seeing her playful Azure. Prince was just standing on the sidelines with his usual 'prominent' air about him. A little smile was on his face.

Alice glanced at the Azurill when she joined in. <Hello,> she said in a friendly tone. She glanced over and saw the Snivy. Ooo... another grass type. She wondered if he would come over to play as well.

<Hi!> Chomper said, waving at the Azurill. He turned to his trainer and smiled. <Let her join!> The more Pokemon the better, right? And this one wasn't scared of him!

Kiki was surprised to see that a Pokemon had joined her little group. "Hello there," she said calmly. "You want to play?" She couldn't see the harm in letting her join. She turned to the Pokemon's trainer when she spoke. "It's alright. She can join in if she wants; I don't mind." She smiled and tossed the baseball to the Azurill. The little water type was pretty cute.

[vulpes]

Azure bounced up and down with the greetings, more like just giving out giggles than actually saying hello back. The chikorita seemed friendly and the other water type, a totodile to be exact, just made the azurill ecstatic when he told his trainer he wanted her to join. While she was bouncing with glee, Prince took the time to give a bow in greeting. "Greetings m'lady," he turned to the totodile, "plus one." He usually wasn't friendly toward anyone other than the girls. He needed to look good for them after all.

Azure wiggled her ears happily when they let her play along, so much so that her tail became a spring underneathe her. "Yay! Thanks! I'm Azure and that's fancy-pants over th-" Prince cut in immediately, "I'm Prince, not fancy-pants. Though, I would deny that I am quite a fancy." That was more of off-note for himself but it was really loud. "Riiight." Azure continued, "Anyway, what are your guys' names?"

All the while Talos had walked inside, taking a seat away from their make-shift circle, petting the egg like it were some happiny. "Thanks she gets a little rambunctious when she doesn't get to play." And then the ball game began once again, this time with Azure catching the ball atop her head. She bounced on her tail to toss it toward the other water-type.

[Principal Sash]

Chomper jumped up in the air to catch the ball the Azurill threw at him. <I'm Chomper,> he said happily. <"That's Alice and Penelope.> He nodded at the Chikorita and Seel. <They're great!> He tossed the ball in the direction of the Seel.

<And I'm going to win this,> Penelope said as she caught the ball on her nose. She spun it around for a few seconds before pushing it back to Azure. She looked back at Prince and began to have fantasies about battling him. She wanted to prove her strength against her weakness! It had failed with Alice, but she would get those grass types next time.

<It's not a competition,> Alice said, smirking in amusement. She looked at Prince and smiled. <Hi.> It was always fun to meet other grass Pokemon.

Kiki nodded at Talos. "I understand. My Totodile can be like that." That was part of what made him so fun to be around. "I'm Kiki, by the way. What kind of egg do you have there?" She thought it would be a cool experience to raise a Pokemon from an egg; she doubted everyone could do it.

[vulpes]

"It's nice to meet you all." Azure looked at each one. Prince had also followed the line and caught sight of the seel who was staring at him. Him being him, he thought she was fantasizing about. Little did he know that she was indeed, just not the way that he was thinking. In the end the snivy couldn't help but cross his arms and try and put on his most 'regal' face. Including that charming smile of his of course. Who could ever forget that. He did note the competitive voice she held though, unlike Azure who only giggled on her tail.

That Penelope seel sparked a competitive spark in the azurill. As the ball came back at her Azure's smile widened. "We'll see about that, I'm pretty good too." With that she caught the ball with the ball of her tail, balancing it while it tried to bounce off. "Haha! Beat this!" The azurill bounced the ball on her tail, spinning to face it and lift it upward with a Bubble. As the Bubble popped the fell toward the chikorita Alice.

It was good that Azure could be around someone to play with and it seemed like a real good group. Prince was another story, Talos could just imagine his type of fun would be flaunting off his pretty-ness. Her attention was on their trainer who called herself Kiki. "Ah cute name," the girl couldn't help but smile, "I'm not really sure what it'll be but I was told this was a steel-type egg. So something steel." Talos held up the egg, "Maybe it'll be an mawile or aron. Oh! Maybe a skamory. I love those giant metal birds." Well the point was across that girl was going to get a steel-type, if her fangirl moment hadn't made it obvious you could tell she was pretty excited about it too. Talos was petting the egg when she remembered, "Ah where are my manners. I'm Talos, Talos Lyongod. Nice to meet'chu Kiki."

[Principal Sash]

Penelope wondered why Prince was looking at her that way. What was he smiling about? She decided to forget about it and looked away; it was not her problem if he did not want to play. She watched with interest as Azure used Bubble on the ball. <Not bad,> she said. She would have to think of something better when she received the ball. It was too bad she did not know any water attacks yet; then she could really show off.

Alice shot up her vines and caught the ball. <Good job,> she said, smiling at the Azurill. She liked the little water Pokemon; she was fun. She hoped they could be friends in the future. She threw the ball up high in the air; it came falling down, poised to hit Chomper. The Totodile opened his jaws and caught the ball in his mouth. Grinning, he snapped his head and sent the ball flying out back towards Kiki.

The trainer had to reach out to catch the ball, but she managed it. "You guys are doing well," she said. She tossed the ball at Azure, whom she thought was an interesting little water type. She glanced back at Talos and smiled. "It's nice to meet you too." She found herself curious as well as to watch the egg would hatch into. Steel was a pretty good type, and there were all kinds of great possibilities. "What are the names of your Pokemon?"

[vulpes]

Azure literally puffed her chest out so far that the little mouse fell over when Penelope praised her. Well not really praise but she wanted to show-off a little. Even if that led her to doing a near back flip. The grass-water duo watched as the ball was traded around several more times before it was returned to their trainer. Azure hopped some more with the other trainer's praise. "We are aren't we?" She smiled. "Don't let a little praise go to your head, you'll trip. Prince warned, sounding out from behind her. Azure made a 'Boo! Boo!' sound before poking him with her tail. "You're the last one I want to hear that from." Prince merely shrugged, that sly smile still on his face.

Talos followed Kiki's lead, "She's right y'know. Prince you should join in. Maybe it'll teach ya to be a bit faster." The last part was more of a tease but Prince caught it thankfully and merely let out his snivy-laughter. "If that's what m'lady desires." He said in his pokemon tongue, holding a return-tease tone. Azure merely giggled and poked the snivy some more, earning a thump on the head from the mini snake's Vine Whip.

With the question in the air for her pokemon's names Talos obliged. Pointing between her snivy and azurill with a free hand. "The snivy's Prince. The other is Azure, simpiler to remember since azurill has the azur- in it no?" In response both pokemon waved with either a tail or a vine. "How 'bout yours. Hardly see many chikorita outside of Johto." She noted the chikorita in the girl's team.

Alice reached out with her vines and snatched the baseball. <I got it!> She glanced at Prince. <It's fun too.> She loved hanging out with friends. There were so many good times to be had!

<Hey, it's my turn!> Penelope said. She moved her body up and down in anticipation of receiving the ball. How could she show off her skills if she did not have the chance? She felt satisfied when the Chikorita tossed the ball in her direction. The Deel jumped up, flipped in the air, and caught the ball with her tail. She was careful where she placed her flippers when she landed on the ground so that she would not lose control of the round object. <Here.> She flipped her tail, causing the ball to fly in the direction of the Snivy. She wanted to see what he could do.

Kiki smirked slightly upon hearing the Snivy's name. The little Pokemon did seem to give off the impression that he thought he was of royalty. She was sure he was nice enough, though. She nodded at Azure's name. "Right." That one made sense as well. It sounded almost Italian to her. She smiled when she was asked about her own Pokemon. "Her name's Alice. She was given to me as my first Pokemon. I find Johto Pokemon very interesting." And she was glad she had the chance to choose her. She loved Chikorita. "The Totodile is Chomper and the Seel is Penelope." She realized that she had more water Pokemon than grass, her favorite type. She would have to go on an adventure soon to change that.

[vulpes]

Azure bounced with glee while Prince stood where he was. The game was to continue and the azurill had no intentions of not showing off now. The duo watched the ball pass off toward the seel, Azure twitched with anticipation but disappointment became a little cloud over her head when the ball passed her right by toward Prince. The snivy caught it quick with his Vine Whip, spinning the ball on the tip like it were some miniature basketball. He gave a short shrug and put that confident smile of his on full display. "Very well than."

With that Prince rolled the ball along down his vine to the other, tossing it upward where he then proceeded to do a front flip; hitting the ball with his tail toward the totodile. He made sure to land with as much grace as his little legs could give him. Azure's cloud dispersed, taking that as a signal for some sort of 'competition'. "Oh yeah? I can do better." She said with her own confident smile. She needed to think of something that none of the others could do, something flashy... alas all she had was Bubble so what was she to do?

Talos nodded her head at Kiki, "Ah nice. Bonzai for us grass starters eh? Prince was my first too." It was nice to see another grass starter, especially since it really was an actual starter that a normal trainer might get. "Johto region's starters certainly are unique. I do love chikorita and I have always wondered if you could ride a meganium." Somehow meganium and tropius were similar to her, if you could fly on a tropius why couldn't you ride a meganium? Once more she nodded at the introduction of the other two pokemon as well. One grass, two water. Almost exactly, well it technically was at the moment, the same combinations as hers were. Only difference is that she had two water-types and she only had one. "Now all you need is a cyndaquil to finish the Johto collection." a hint of laughter in voice.

Penelope huffed at the way Prince was showing off. It seemed like Azure was getting into the spirit of the competition as well. Well, she would show them! She tried to think of something only she could do, but she came up short. She dreamed of the day when she would evolve into a Dewgong. How cool it would be to be able to use ice! The possibilities were endless.

Chomper looked at Penelope's far-away gaze in confusion. <Are you daydreaming?> he said. When she did not respond, he shrugged, figuring he was right, and focused back on the game. He opened his mouth again to catch the ball that Prince threw at him - it was the most effective way he knew how to play. He wondered if he could do something cool like the others. He tossed the ball straight in the air and then batted it with his right claw towards Azure. <Let's see what you've got,> he said, smiling. He was curious to find out if the Azurill had any actual skills behind her bragging.

Kiki chuckled at Talos' comments. Riding a Meganium? That was something that had never occurred to her. "I'll have to see if I can ride Alice when she gets to that stage," she said with a smirk. She laughed at the confused expression the Chikorita gave her. She supposed she would be big enough for the task; i was an interesting concept. She looked back at Talos and nodded. "Cyndaquil are really cute. It would be great if I could find one around here. Grass Pokemon are my favorite type, though. What's yours?" She was always curious to learn which Pokemon other trainers preferred. It often said a lot about them, and it was a potential area for bonding if they had similar interests.

[vulpes]

Azure was practically rolling with joy when the ball came at her. Already she decided that she liked that totodile and would show him something that would knock his socks off. If he had socks that was. But just what could she do? Prince and Alice both had vines and Chomper had arms. The only one who she could probably match right now was the seel, Penelope, but even then the azurill only had Bubble and the other may be hiding some powerful move up her sleeve. Like an ice-type move such as Aurora Beam or even Powder Snow.

The ball was heading at her fast despite her inner conflict. Then a sudden thought came to mind. She grinned, almost evilly, as she looked at Prince. "Fancy Pants! Lets show them some of our team spirit!" The snivy pouted slightly, "I've told you to use my name, little mouse." Azure giggled before turning quickly toward the ball, bouncing the ball upward with her tail. "Yeah, yeah. How good are your coordination skills Fancy Pants?" She didn't wait for an answer before hitting the ball at him when it came back down.

"Better than yours I assure you." The snivy said haughtily, taking the cue. He didn't stop the ball's path, but rather redirected it with his Vine Whip, spinning around once while he was at it, toward Alice. "Catch."

"When you do tell how it went, 'kay?" Talos snapped her fingers. She wanted to see how that turned out, heck if she could ride Prince when he was in his third form she would. Though that would be rather hard in the end. Still she couldn't help snicker at the thought. "Hmm, my favorite type?" She paused for a moment. What was her favorite type. Well she did like rock pokemon, they always had some interesting qualities about them but then against she also liked normal-types. Tauros was a personal favorite of her's but she just absolutely loved froslass. Oh such a hard decision. "I don't think I have an absolute favorite type. I guess its a tie between Ice, Rock, and Normal." She paused for a second more before clapping her hands together, "But Dragons are unique too aren't they? Like druddigon or hydreigon."

Alice was not expecting the ball to come flying at her. Out of instinct, though, she shot out her vines and caught the ball. Holding it in the air, she looked around the circle and tried to remember who had not had a turn in awhile, for she now knew Penelope would become mad if she was missed. She soon decided it was her trainer's turn, so she threw the ball up in the air in her direction. She did not feel the need to do anything fancy; this was just for fun, right? Perhaps she could come up with something to do with her Razor Leaf, though.

Kiki nodded at Talos' comment. She turned her attention away for a few seconds in order to catch the ball. "Nice," she said to her Pokemon. "Here you go." She tossed the ball to Penelope, who caught it between her nose and horn. Kiki turned back to Talos. "Dragon Pokemon are interesting. Too bad there are none that are also grass." Perhaps someday they would discover one; she could always dream. "So, are you at this school for anything in particular?" She knew that some students, like herself, came to study for careers other than becoming Pokemon trainers.

Penelope moved her head so that the ball was tipped up onto her horn. Then she circled her head around lightly, causing he ball to spin on the tip of her horn. <Alright, your turn,> she said haughtily as she looked at Azure out of the corner of her eye. Competing with other water types was almost as interesting to her as competing with her weakness. She snapped her head to the left, and the baseball went flying in the direction of the Azurill.

[vulpes]

Prince couldn't help but smile when he saw the chikorita catch the ball. He had the feeling he'd caught her off-guard and he figured that he had the upper hand when it came to surprises. Now he wasn't the most competitive sort but he certainly did like to show-off. Not to mention surprises equaled showing-off in his book. Haha! He was a truly brilliant creature indeed. Azure, on the other, hand hadn't the slightest idea of what was going through her 'partner's' head, of course she was all in it for the fun. Both of them watched as the ball went toward the other pokemons' trainer.

"Your guys are pretty good aren't they." Talos smiled, noting the 'competition' between them or at least between her azurill and the others. Her hetero-colored eyes watched the ball head toward the other's seel before turning back to Kiki. Their conversation continued, "Ah that's true isn't it. They have, what, dark and flying yet hardly any of the other types. I'd love to find a steel-dragon myself but that just doesn't exist. So picky aren't they?" Well its not like it was the dragon-types fault, their kinds just didn't branch off into the other typings but the girl wouldn't add that last part. She paused for a moment at the other's question. "Hm, well my reason for being here has almost nothing to do with my future. I guess you could say I'm here because I missed out on my chance of adventure?" Talos tilted her head, trying to think of another way to explain in. She was about to continued when the egg in her arms suddenly... twitched. More like wiggled but the girl jumped at the movement.

Azure was about ready to catch the ball tossed toward her once more until her trainer's movement caught her eye. It was only a moment that her eyes were on the now glowing egg but it was long enough for the azurill to miss the ball or rather catch it with her noggin. Prince had already rushed away toward his trainer, placing his hands on her legs to peek at the egg. "Ow..." the little pokemon grumbled, "That hurt." Her eyes went to the ball then to her trainer who was looking at her with worry. She hopped up which let Talos return her attention to the now hatching egg in her arms. Azure was caught between running over to see the newborn and going after the ball. In the end she went to the ball and just rolled it into the circle, her eyes too distracted on the light.

[Principal Sash]

Kik smiled at Talos' compliment. "It seems like they are." She was pleased with the way her Pokemon were getting into the game and improving their skills. She was sure it would be helpful for the future. She nodded at the other trainer's answer to her question. She could understand what she was saying. Kiki had never had much of an adventure before coming to school either. The academy seemed like the perfect opportunity to get that in along with perusing her dreams for her future. She was caught off guard when Talos jumped. "What's wrong?" Seeing Prince run up to her side, she figured it was something to do with the egg. Yes, she could see it glowingow. She slowly made her way over to investigate.

<Hey, what's going on?> Penelope said, oblivious to the situation and annoyed that the game had stopped.

Alice was more perceptive; she had caught sight of the egg out of the corner of her eye. <That egg is going to hatch,> she said with a smile. She walked a little closer to Talos, but she stayed far enough back to give her some room.

<Ooo... egg,> Chomper said excitedly as he came to stand by the Chikorita. This sure was interesting and unexpected!

A large crack ran down the egg, and it was followed by several smaller cracks. Then the a piece of the top of the egg was pushed out. A small, grey head poked through the top. The baby Pokemon pushed the rest of the egg away from itself. What was left was a small, armored Pokemon with stubby legs. The Aron blinked opened his eyes to take in his surroundings.
