Dart, who was watching the battle with immense curiosity, takes his eyes off the battle for a second and notices the same women from before with the Houndour that was relaxing at the other side of the boat in front watching the battle. Dart makes his way to the front of the crowd slowly, and comes up slightly to the the right side of her. "Some battle huh?" Dart asks not looking directly at her, keeping his eyes fixed upon the fierce battle.
"Hmm? Oh, yeah. Scorch here heard it from across the deck, so we came over to see what was going on. I recognized the sounds of Cyndaquil, and had to come see one up close." She spared a glance at the person beside her, then realized she was looking him squarely in the chest. She blushed a little bit as she looked up, and continued. "Umm . . . hiya, I'm Nicolette. And you are?"
Dart, pausing for a moment, looks to the ground, then at her and responds "I am uhh...uhh...Dart." Dart fidgets with his jacket for a few seconds before asking her "So, uhh...What brought you here?......to the ferry I mean."
"Nice to meet you, Dart. This is Scorch," Nico motioned toward the Houndour at her feet. Scorch was intently watching the battle unfolding before him. "As for why I'm here, I'm training to become a Pokemon Ranger. Jasmine suggested it as a career option for me, since I like being outdoors more than cooped up inside a gym. Seeing as how this is a new area, I figured what better way to learn all at once, right?" She shuffled a little closer to Dart, a little smirk on her face as she brushed some hair from in front of her face. "What about you, and your Psyduck? What's your reason for coming to Risin?" she asked as she spotted the duck Pokemon behind Dart and gave it a gentle pat on the head.
"Nice to meet you too, Nicolette and..." said Dart, as he started to reach down to pet the Houndour, but thought better of it after feeling a little intimidated by it "...and Scorch." Dart looks down at his Psyduck, who looks up at him, then Dart looks back at Nicolette "I'm...not exactly sure why I'm here..." Dart looks back down at his Psyduck and smiled. "But...I suppose we want to win some badges.....right Psyduck?" said Dart, still looking at his Psyduck who seemed happy and clinging onto his leg, nods in agreement.
"Murkrow. Hit is now!" the trainer yelled. Upon hearing this, the Cyndaquil shot another large ray of embers at the bird. The Murkrow seemed to dodge, but as the smoked settled, everyone could see it falling from the sky. Cyndaquil moved towards it. Right before Murkrow hit the ground, its trainer exclaimed "Ok Murkrow. Go!" It opened it's eyes and smacked the unsuspecting Cyndaquil from close up (This is an unlearned Faint Attack, for all curious). The Cyndaquil fell back from the blow and fainted. The crowd went wild. "We're not done yet" the Cyndaquil's trainer said, overpowerring the crowd. He brought out another pokeball from which a Grimer emerged. Murkrow flew back into the air staring down at the Grimer.

Reese enters the Pokemon Center. It is quite calm for a Pokemon Center, but there are a lot of trainers there waiting for their pokemon to be healed. A nurse walks up to you. "Can I help you? Do you need us to look at your Pokemon?"
----
OOC: You can have some basic knowledge about how to heal Pokemon, and maybe some starting equipment, but you can't have infinite Potions.
"Meditie, I choose you" He exclaimes. He looks down at his pokemon, you simply sits there and begins to meditate.
----
"They call me Lisix. And you are?"
"Bulbasaur, tackle it!" Bulbasaur ran full speed at the Meditie before Rostam could finish the sentence. She lowered her shoulder and grit as she got close, preparing to take the Meditie down.
Hearing the Cyndaquil cry out, Nico's attention was firmly back on the battle. Oh, no. That was a hard hit, I hope it's OK.Nico thought as she tried to get a good look at the trainer who recalled the fire pokemon. "Some battle, isn't it?" she said to Dart, giving him a gentle nudge with her elbow.
He looked at the Nurse. "Well...About that...I don't Have one! BUT! I am in search of a famous Professor that will help me capture one! Do you have an Idea where to find this professor?" He looked around in search of another large group to go search while he waited for her response.
What did he say that pile of sludge was? A Grimer? I've never seen one before, Nico thought as she watched the pile of goo move across the ferry deck. That's kind of disturbing, it just undulates. No legs, or anything like that, just moves like a putrid slug. But in spite of it all, she couldn't turn away from the battle. The Cyndaquil caught her attention, and she waited for her opportunity to approach it's trainer after the battle. She was aware of Dart standing beside her as well, but he seemed mesmerized by the battle before them so she didn't say anything.
Samuel only smiled. The focusing Meditite was ready and could easily sense the Bulbasaur approaching him. It broke its stance and quickly darted out of the way of the attack. Once it was safe again, it sat down again. This time it did not meditate, it simply closed it's eyes and waited.
------
Seeing an opening, the Murkrow wasted no time. It charged in towards the Grimer with a Peck attack, and the Grimer could not keep it away like the Cyndaquil could. "Defend yourself!" the trainer exclaimed, and Grimer's oozing body quickly became stiff. The Peck hit with full force, but cause minimum damage. "Now use Poison Gas" the trainer exclaimed. While the Murkrow was recovering, Grimer surrounded itself in a Poisonous gas, which was clearly affecting the Murkrow. Regardless, the Murkrow managed to fly away and blow away the rest of the gas. "You just won't give up, will you?"
------
"Professor Birch? Well, I'm not sure where he is right now. He has been using the auditorium down the hall to set up as a station to teach new trainers, but he spends some time monitoring his practice battles with new trainers on the upper deck. But, I'm sure he'll help you out with a first pokemon. What a big day!"
-------
"Hmph, I'm sure we'll be seeing each other again soon. You know, if you have a Pokemon, I suggest you try to enter that tournament the have on the boat. I signed up with the receptionist. It's something to do before we land" He said. Then he shook your hand, and walked away slowly.
Bulbasaur regained its balance after missing the Meditie. "That didn't work.," Rostam thought to himself, "I don't know if this will work, but I'll have to give it a try." While remaining calm, Rostam shouted, "Vine Whip it!"
"Well off the The Auditorium!" Exclaimed Reese. He was Dedicated to finding this professor, no matter how hard the Professor tried to hide. He started off in a direction, but then Realized he had no idea where the auditorium was. He Turned around, "Uh...Where is the Auditorium?"
The vine hit the Meditite with full force. Meditite flinched and fell back, but managed to get back up. It sat back in it's previous position and continued not to act.
------
"It is right down the hall. Let me show you. She walks you to the door and points across the hall. Just take a left there and it will be the first building on your left. It should be marked well."
Rostam let a smile out because of how proud of Bulbasaur he was. That was the first time she successfully made that attack. "Good job Bulbasaur! Vine Whip it again, but this time, follow it up with a tackle!. As soon as Bulbasaur let the vines go, he started running at the Meditie, increasing in speed as she attempted to direct the vines at the Meditie.
Nico instinctively buried her nose in her sleeve when the cloud of poisonous gas drifted over her as it dissipated. She tugged on Dart's sleeve with her free hand and said, "Maybe we should move somewhere . . I dunno . . . UP-wind from the battle? I know I'm going to." Nico make a subtle whistling noise as she started to walk, and Scorch was by her side as she moved to a different vantage point for the battle.
Dart puts his arm up to his face, to protect himself from the insidious gas. He looks at Nicolette, then back at the battle, then back at Nicolette and follows her to the new position. "The battle is heating up isn't it?" Dart says, arm still up to his face.
Nico circled the crowd to the other side, followed by Dart and their pokemon. She found a good spot, this time upwind from the battle, and resumed spectating. "This should work a bit better, and keep us out of the fumes, " she giggled as she spoke to Dart.
OOC: I am trying my best to update at least once a day. Sorry there was no update yesterday.
------
The Meditite braced himeself slightly as the attack hit but it still took the full force of the attack. Since it knew the attack was coming, it was able to get up, but it was clearly running out of energy very quickly, and it was breathing heavily. Suddenly though, it took off towards Bulbasaur, charging with a newfound speed. It 's energy was almost visible. It had been storing this energy and absorbing it from Bulbasaur's blows. When it finally reached Bulbasaur, it unleashed all of this energy with one powerful strike.
OOC: It has been "storing energy" for the last 2 turns, and now it is releasing energy, or it is using/used Bide
------
The auditorium was rather quiet and empty. At the time that you come in, the only other person in the room is the professor who is on the stage mixing a few chemicals. As you enter, he looks up and invites you to come up and join him.

Grimer shoots out a small ball off Acid at the Murkrow. Murkrow avoids the Acid by swooping down, but Grimer quickly moves over to the Murkrow. Murkrow is obviously tired out, and Grimer is easily able to hit it with a Pound attack and finish it off. The trainer withdraws the Murkrow and sends out his last pokemon, a Buizel. Although it is confined to the ground, the Buizel is much faster than the Murkrow was. It immediatly charges the Grimer, scratches it, and then retreats before the Grimer can retaliate.

Now what? he asked himself.
His Vulpix trailing at his heels, he moves to the arena to watch for a bit.
