"With the sun up in the sky, the two brothers looked at each other, they had to go, and they had to go now. The younger one stepped up to his honchkrow, he said 'come on already, we shouldn't just stand here all day', his brother followed him, 'alright buddy, you know where to take us' the younger one whispered into his ears, and with that, he flew off. This would be the last time, for a long while."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no" said Sirnef, scrathing a pencil throughout the notebook, you swear he could just rip right through the pages. He was trying to come up with another story, his writing was more of hobby than a job, which can sometimes become obvious due to the massive amount of lead on some of the paper he writes on. Sirnef sighed, his druddigon was out in the balcony with his wings spread, trying desperately to fly…he couldn't. Sirnef rolled his eyes when he saw the clock beside his brothers bed, alright he's taking way too long. Sirnef stood up to wake his brother up, then proceeded to go towards the closet. He had no idea how, but when starting his day up, the closet was locked, and his brother wasn't in the bed. "Wake up!" He said towards the closet, which replied with a half-awake moan. "Get out of the closet now, before I break in there and take you out myself!" He shouted, if they weren't moving out today, they were definitely going to get a noise complaint.

Napoleon had managed to get himself all the way inside the closet, somehow locked the door, and managed to pass out, face first into the door. Well then, that was a fun night of mischief. He wasn't sure why he was so scared of his brother's threat, they both knew that there was no way that he could break down the closet door, but he ended up getting out anyways. "There you happy, he said, rubbing his eyes, he was somehow still sleepy. His brother gave him a bit of an irritated look "seriously, over ten hours in there, and you're still in the nude" he responded "how the heck did you even survive in the military." He sighed, got back into the closet, and got back out of the closet, after more loud arguing from being there in more than five minutes. When he finally got out, his brother went got his clothes and put them on immediately, with a sarcastic "thanks for taking your sweet time in there." His houndour was a room away, endlessly chasing his tail, before Napoleon picked him up himself, "some on Wilhelm" he said, rubbing his belly, "we're gonna go out already." He placed him down, with the houndour still following him, his brother gave him a glaring look.

"I still can't believe you called him Wilhelm." Said Sirnef
"I still can't believe you called him Napoleon, before you even met me" Said Napoleon, pointing towards the druddigon, "anyways, where are we going"
"Wow, you really are a noob at this aren't you, we're going to talk to the professor"
"Wait, where is that?" He responded causing his brother to facepalm, proceeded with an annoyed "follow me"

Shay and Totodile decided to resume their training and Shay placed her backpack down and reached down for something, soon she sees some Pokeballs with the note saying, "Please be careful, mom", Shay smiled. Soon she sees a Nidoran female, "Wow, this is rare a Nidoran female I think I don't want to hurt it but I think I remember something, weaken the Pokemon then use the Pokeball", so Shay got up and told her Totodile, "Toto use Scratch", and Toto did so which did some damage but not much, Shay sighed then grabbed a Pokeball and throw it and now she waited to see if she successfully captured the Nidoran female, anxiously she waits to see if she successfully caught it. The Pokeball moved once, then twice and the third time and it stopped moving, Toto the Totodile came close to Shay and tugged her dress, "Did I caught it?", Toto nodded and soon Shay's worries turned to excitement, "I did it, I caught a Nidoran female, I'm so happy", then Shay thought of a nickname, "Think, think", then Shay said, "I know, I will call you Zodiac", Shay smiled and Toto jumped for joy, "Now Toto, I think a real test is about to happen soon, I think the first battle against a trainer will happen soon", Shay said in a nervous tone.

After exploring the forest a bit more, the two twins met up with one another at the entrance to New Bark Town.

"Hey! Did you uhh... did you catch anything?" Avery asked, waiting to gloat.
"Take a look for yourself, little sis." Aditsan told his twin, releasing his newly caught Eevee from its Pokeball.
"That's weird..." Avery commented as she released her Eevee from its Pokeball.
"Looks like we have similar taste in Pokemon." Aditsan joked to his sister and their collective group of Pokemon.

Avery smiled and squatted beside her Fennekin and Eevee, Aditsan doing the same with Froakie and Eevee.
"Let's see... what should your nickname be?" Aditsan asked his Eevee, who only responded by crying its name.

Avery watched her brother while returning her Eevee to his Pokeball and gently holding Fennekin in her arms. "How 'bout... Artemis?" he suggested to the Evolution Pokemon. Aditsan's Eevee's eye lit up with excitement at the sound of her new name. "Artemis it is." Aditsan smiled before taking out Artemis' Pokeball. Artemis glared at the Pokeball and smacked it out of Aditsan's hand with an Iron Tail. "So you wanna walk with Boss, my sister and I?" Aditsan asked and the Eevee cried out in response.

"Let's go to the lab now." Avery suggested, already taking steps towards the Lab following the walking direction given to her by her navigation on her PokePhone.
"Even though Avery's small, she walks pretty fast so just be sure to keep up, Artemis." Aditsan informed, jogging after Avery in order to catch up to her.

After some time, the twins arrived at Professor Elm's Lab. They stood in front of the sliding glass doors as they automatically opened due to sensing their motion. The two cautiously stepped foot into the large laboratory, taking in all of the furniture and other objects in the lab.

A man appearing to be somewhere in his late 40's or early 50's welcomed the two from the top of the stairs. "The resemblance between the two of you is uncanny, you must be the twins ... er--" the man started.
"I'm Avery and this is Aditsan." Avery introduced with a warm smile.
"Ah, sorry I couldn't remember your names. I have a lot of trainers coming in today so let's just go ahead and wait for them here. I'm Professor Elm." he smiled.

After seeing the trainer, Shay realized something, "I'm going to hold off on battling this trainer, I got to see the professor first, something is a miss", so Shay along with her Totodile (Toto) and her new companion Zodiac the Female Nidoran began to walk down south, soon they went east and afterwards left Cherrygrove City, "I knew that meeting with the professor should've been my first priority but a lesson needs to be learned", so Shay continued to walk east and once there she returned to New Bark Town, and soon found a building, "I guess this is the Pokelab then", so Shay walked up north and once there she entered the building and asked, "Is anyone in there?", Shay began to look nervous and soon she sees two other people, "I guess I might not be alone on my part", Shay said.

---

"And then there were more." Professor Elm commented with a warm smile.

Avery quickly turned her head, causing her long ponytail to fly in the opposite direction of her headband moving whereas Aditsan paid no mind to the sound of an unfamiliar voice.
"Hi." Avery greeted nervously.

"Would any of you care for some tea?" Professor Elm's assistant offered.

---

Shay smiled as she said, "Hello", to a trainer named Avery, then Toto the Totodile and Zodiac the Nidoran female waved hello. "I guess I came here to the lab about the situation or interesting challenge", and Shay walked up and said to the Professor's assistant, "I would like to some tea please", as Shay walked around the lab to see what is going on, Shay was still holding her backpack and she looked at her bruised knee, "This next little bit will be a huge challenge for me and the other trainers that I see", Shay said in a tone of amazement. Shay waits for other trainers to make their arrival.

Just as Ivan entered the lab and looked around, two other people entered right after him. They seemed to be...brothers? Friends? A very small team? It was hard to guess. However, they were able to talk to the professor. Ivan looked to his two 'mons, and nodded at them. He silently walked over to the professor too, and stayed behind Avery and Aditsan.

---

Shay soon saw another trainer, "I wonder what he is up to?", Shay asked. Then Shay looked at the other two trainers, but her focus shifted back to her two Pokemon, "I am curious to know about this thing on why Professor Elm wanted these trainers and even me to come here". Still she wonders about what is going on but Shay remains hopeful.

The Sentret was flung across the Route. Tamarin was about to go after but was stopped by Agnis. Lawrence jogged over to the Sentret to make sure it was okay. "You okay, bud?" he asked, holding a hand out. The Sentret flinched away, letting out a small, scared whimper. "I won't hurt you.."

Tamarin came swinging past Agnis, tail glowing blue. Now the Dragon Tail.. Lawrence took out the Serperior's Moon Ball and shouted, "Tamarin, return!" The suddenly aggressive Pokemon was returned to his capsule. Lawrence glared at it, but returned the ball to his belt. "Alright, Agnis, you too." She nodded slowly, returning to her Nest Ball.

The Sentret was still there, Lawrence noticed. "You wanna join the team? Don't worry, Tamarin isn't always that aggressive." The Sentret blinked a few times before letting out a small chirp. Lawrence took out a Luxury Ball he had spare and placed it in his palm. Sentret poked it with its paw before disappearing inside.

1.. 2.. 3.. DING!

[Sentret will be added to the PokeUpdate]

Professor Elm's assistant returned with a cup of tea for each guest, which at the time was only 3. "Oh, I see we have someone new. Would you care for some tea too?" she asked Ivan.

Avery and Aditsan both turned silently, not noticing Ivan until he was acknowledged by the assistant.
"Hi, I'm Aditsan and this is my twin sister, Avery." Aditsan greeted. As the two took a sip of their tea in unison.

Professor Elm watched the young trainers breaking barriers and introducing themselves to one another, smiling.

---

And suddenly they turned. Oh no, human contact! His hidden weakness! "Um. Hi! Im, Ivan!" What a plain introduction. Still better than not saying anything at all. "And, yes please." Ivan answered the assistant. Chespin and Inkay were watching the humans interact right next to Ivan.

Liam was up bright and early, already training his two Pokemon. Whatever time he could spare, he was always using it wisely, as his goal to become a stronger Pokemon trainer was his priority. He never tried to overwork his Pokemon, rather he treated them with as much kindness as he could give, caring for them as if they were the only things he had.
The young trainer had moved to Johto from Unova, as his parents received a better job offer in the new region. His family settled in Azalea Town, which is home to the bug-type Gym, run by the trainer named Bugsy. Liam had yet to attempt the first Pokemon gym all new trainers would encounter first, the Violet City gym, but he felt that it was not the right time just yet. A few days before, his father had brought home a Gligar he had encountered on Route 45 while out researching Johto's Pokemon species. He had given the Gligar to his son as a gift to start his new Johto journey. Accompanied by the Archen that travelled all the way from Unova with them, the trio were now a team.
Ilex Forest was just past Azalea Town and this was the place that Liam constantly trained his Pokemon at, upon moving to the new region. The forest contained mostly weaker bug-type Pokemon, although it was to the team's advantage as both Archen and Gligar are part flying-type. Here, Liam trained the two to work as a team together. By doing so, the bond between the old and new could grow.
"Gligar, Sand Attack! Archen, use Wing Attack!" the male called.
The Paras the team had been battling against was swallowed by a cloud as the Gligar flung loose scoops of dirt at the opposing Pokemon. Archen, on the other hand, could be seen charging at the Paras with glowing wings, outstretched so magnificently, one could not help but smile at it's elegance. The Paras, in a state of confusion, attempted to back up out of the cloud of dust to regain its sight, but it was useless. The Archen pierced directly through the cloud and within moments, his wing came in contact with the opposing Pokemon, launching it backwards with force. The Archen circled around a nearby tree and regained his original position next to the Gligar. As the cloud of dust dissipated, the team noticed the still figure of the Paras laying a few feet away from where it had been.
Both the Archen and the Gligar bounced up and down in triumph. Liam clenched his hand into a fist, a huge smile plastered on his face. "Great job, both of you!"
The two Pokemon turned around to face their trainer and were surprised with a pat on their heads. Liam reached into his shorts pocket and pulled out two Magost berries and handed them to his Pokemon, who ate them with grins on their faces.
"One last thing before we head back home," the male commented as he made his way over to the Paras, who had just woken up. The young trainer crouched down before the smaller Pokemon and pulled out the last Magost berry in his pocket. "Thank you so much for the battle, little guy."
He placed the berry before the Paras and patted its head as well before he turned around to join his two Pokemon. He nodded towards them and they skipped behind him as they made their way out of the forest.

Ellie herself, was born in the Sinnoh region. Her mother, seeing how much potential her daughter had while training with her Glameow, encouraged her to continue her Pokemon journey in Johto, where she knew her daughter could befriend many new Pokemon. The young girl was a rather new trainer, but already had the basics down and wasn't half bad at battling either. The tight bond that she and her Glameow formed made all the difference towards their performance as a team.
It was 10:30 AM and Ellie was still asleep, as she hadn't made a set schedule for herself. Beside her in her bed was her Glameow, curled up and sleeping soundly, its nose tucked under its paws. Not much later, a little tickle on the Glameow's ear had awoken it and the cat-Pokemon nudged its trainer's back with its nose. Ellie rolled over onto her back and greeted her Pokemon with a pet between the ears. "Good morning, cutie," Ellie murmured. "Is it time to get up already?"
A purr rose deep from the Glameow's throat as it licked its trainer's face. "Okay, okay," Ellie said, giggling as she sat up in bed.
The young girl had settled down in New Bark Town, the perfect place to begin her journey, as the path to obtain all eight badges from the Johto region was just before her. She was confident in herself that she and her Glameow would be able to obtain their first badge soon enough, without too much trouble. The trust she knew her Glameow had in her motivated her even more into becoming a successful trainer.
Once she had finished getting dressed, she grabbed her purse that had been sitting atop her dresser and hung it over her shoulder. "Let's make today another awesome adventure!" Ellie said with a smile, as her Glameow followed her out of the room.
The duo's first stop would be Route 29, just west of New Bark Town.

sorry for my essays lmao

The brothers went towards he exit, but not before Napoleon took a knocked over bottle and drank whatever was left in it. His brother sighed "really, it isn't even afternoon yet, and you're already drinking, seriously" he kept silent, and kept on drinking. They left the place without another word, to their neighbors delight, Sirnef had aleady cheked them out in advance. Napoleon checked his pockets "Wait, where the heck is my pok-" his bother cut him off "in your bag"…huh, so it is. His "little buddy" has been following him for a while, though he seemed to stop for a while giving a bit of a…parting gift…yeah, they better get out of here quick.

Sirnef stayed completely silent, though it seems that his annoyance go through his brother, they both walked faster, with his broher's houndour following behind them. He wasn't fazed at all when he heard somewhat heavy footsteps behind him, since Napoleon had decided to jump on the roof and fly…yeah, he still can't do it. He wasn't surprised when his druddigon had been covered in shrubbery, and walked up behind them, though his brother on the other hand had seemed to flinch for quite a while. Sirnef chukled, "come on, lets go already" he said, taking out his pokeball, geting the druddigon inside it effectively. "I still don't understand why yours is colored differently" his brother stated. "You'll learn soon enough" he said, no spoilers, after all. Halfway through the seemingly over complicated path that they were taking a ratata stood in their way. His brother reacted accordingly to every other thing that has ever stood in his way, by punching the distortion world out of it. Sirnef just stared at him, what on earth was he doing? "What?" Was his brother's confused reply, before getting bit by it. "Ow" said Napoleon, pulling his hand back, that hurt, his little buddy decided it was his chance. The houndour went ahead and spit a bit of fire, nothing more than an ember, at his opponent, effectively knocking it out. Napoleon was speechless "he can do that?" He said when he finally managed to get his words straight. His brother just laughed "you have so much to learn" he said, and they continued down the road.

"Lilith,it's time to wake up."An unidentified voice sing songs from above a sleeping Lilith causing the girl to smile indicating that the girl wasn't as asleep as she seemed."Lilith,get up or else."The voice waits a few minutes before letting out a hum."Alright,you asked for it.Time to be tickled."With those words Lilith's eyes shoot open and she laughs silently."I am up mother."She muses sitting up and stretching.Her mother nods at her."Good!I don't think the newest adventurer in our household wants to be awaken with a tickle attack.I think Shi was even going to get in on it."Lilith looks down at her feet to see Shi sitting there looking ready to pounce."You were going to betray me Shi?How could you?"She says with a fake gasp causing Shi's eyes to widen."Es-espurr-es!"She cries out quickly shaking her head no.She races up Lilith's legs and gives her a hug around her middle.She gets a laugh in response."I know you wouldn't Shi.I know you would't."The mother looks on with a smile before speaking up."I hate to ruin the moment but I suggest you get changed into what you are going to travel in while I get breakfast ready for you."Lilith looks up and slightly nods her head."Yes mother."With those words the mother leaves and Lilith gets out of bed.She rummages through her closet grabbing her traveling outfit and switching her night clothes for them.She stretches again and looks out her window in her room.Geez seems like it was only yesterday I was getting Shi for a birthday present from mother.She thinks to herself before turning to look at Shi."You ready to go love?"She asks quietly.Shi nods her head in agreement and hops up and down excitedly on the bed."Well then lets go."Lilith holds out a hand for Shi.After Shi hops up to her shoulder Lilith grabs her backpack and makes her way down stairs.She enters the kitchen to sees two plates of waffles laid out for Shi and her."Eat up kiddos.You'll need it."Lilith just smiles and sits down before digging in with gusto along with Shi.Once they are done they wipe their mouths and kiss their mother goodbye."Love you mother.""Es-espurr!"Their mother smiles at the two."Love you guys too.Now off you go before we all start crying."The duo nods and make their way through the house and out the door."Here we go Shi."Lilith mumbles while adjusting her beanie."Es."With those words the two take their first steps into becoming the best of the best.

"Nice to meet you, Ivan." Avery said with a warm smile, Aditsan nodding. Professor Elm returned with his assistant, who handed Ivan the cup of tea.

"This is just a general meeting for those of you who are new at this entire Pokemon Trainer thing. I'm very grateful for you to have joined my team against Team Rocket and I'm excited to see all of your potential. To help get all of you started, you'll need some Pokeballs, some medicine and berries." Professor Elm explained whilst his assistant handed out his starter packs. "You each will also be receiving a Badge Case and a Contest Pass."

"Good luck, trainers, keep in touch with me with your PokePhones!" he finished.

Aditsan and Avery smiled and walked out of the laboratory together and made their way to Route 29 after thanking the Professor, their Pokemon alongside them.

"Oh, Ivan... Before you go, let's discuss a bit on what you actually came here for..." the Professor told him.

---

(recap?? sorry im late ;w; )

---

[really just introductions of everyone's characters and a few of them went to the lab. there's been a few captures (lawrence caught a sentret, aditsan & avery both caught an eevee each, shay caught a female nidoran)]

---

Ivan took the teacup and drinked only a bit of the tea. It tasted...like tea. And also a bit hot. Like if mint decided to jump on lava and then melt down. Ivan didn't like tea that much, so he just slowly drinked it as the professor talked. As he was about to leave the teacup on the table and get off, he remembered about the talk they needed to have. And so did the professor.

"Oh." Ivan said. "Thats exactly what I was going to say!" He said, with a forced-looking smile on his face.

"I think I'll call you Christopher," Lawrence whispered. He sent out his Sentret, who scrambled into his new trainer's shoulders. He let out chirps of excitement as they went through Route 29. New Bark town was just ahead now. Lawrence laughed as Christopher was making funny faces.

"We're here!" Lawrence sang. New Bark Town had a few metal-looking windmills. It was very quiet, but there were some young girls and boys running around with Pokémon. The trees were swaying to the wind, and it was nice and perfect for Lawrence. He let out a small hum of happiness and let his Sentret down. "Agnis, come out."

The Volcarona looked rather relieved to be out again. She knew she did nothing wrong after all. Christopher flinched away from Agnis, who had flown close curiously. "She won't hurt you, Christopher." Christopher inched closer before battering at Agnis's face playfully with his paws. Agnis let out hisses of laughter in response.

"Let's go meet the professor, gang." The trio approached the door. Lawrence knocked.

Lilith had walked until she was a good distance from her house."So Shi,where to first?"She inquired while tilting her head slightly.She ignored the odd looks she got from the locals and snarled at any that tried to talk to her."Es.Espurr."Shi responds pointing in the direction of the lab."Good point.We need to gather supplies.I read that you can gather some from the professor.What was the professors name again?"She mused as she started to make her way to the lab.Shi pointed at an Elm tree making Lilith hum."Elm huh..what's with the professors being named after tree types?"She wonders causing Shi to shrug."Es?Espurr-espurr-es?"Lilith slightly nods at that."Makes sense."The rest of the walk is quiet with trainer and pokemon wondering what this adventure would bring them too.They both stop a little ways away from the lab as they notice someone else about to enter."Should we go with?"Shi nods her head yes causing Lilith to hum."I don't know about that Shi.TR is on the rise again."Shi hums at that and sits down in the shade of the Elm tree.Lilith continues to remain standing slightly in front of her.She looks around with guarded eyes."Shi I want you in the tree.I'm going alone and acting like I just left you with mother.If I am not back within thirty minutes go get mother and tell her it's an emergency."She waits for a response and turns to see that Shi had already disappeared up the tree.Lilith took a large breath and made her way over to the other person and waited about three feet behind him and his pokemon for the professor or a assistant to get the door.
