"Sinnoh, huh? I think I passed through there on my way to here. That's the region with Mt. Silver, right? That's where I met The King!" Marshall tries to put too much on his fork and it falls to his plate when he tries to jam it in his mouth.
"Hey Amber, you wanna borrow The King? I'm sure he'd win you the match! He won before, and he's only gotten stronger since then!"
When Church enters and sits down, Marshall responds, "Not much. We were just talking about how we're gonna win Amber that badge."

i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah182/chrystalrogue/Scarlett%20Oak%20post%20avatar_zpspnywqiog.jpg "There is nothing right with anything that just came out of your mouth," Scarlett said dryly. She never thought she'd be missing people immediately picking her out as... her mother's daughter, but then again she never thought she'd be dealing with such a blockhead. "Mt. Silver is in Johto, which is the neighboring region to this one. We're in, in case you were uncertain, Kanto. Sinnoh is an island to the north of here.""Even if it's not strictly against the rules to let someone borrow a Pokemon like they would a hammer or pencil," Scarlett said with a deepening frown, "it's unethical. It's cheating, and says nothing good about the character of either of the involved parties!"

Without missing a beat, Marshall digs through his pack, and pulls out the badge, buried in the midst of his stuff. "No problem. Amber can have this one, and I'll just go win another one. Easy fix!"

"Every trainer has to have his own Badge. They're a proof you beat the Gym Leader yourself. Like a.. Like a proof of toughness. It wouldn't be right to take others' accomplishments, would it? Besides, they keep a list of who won and who didn't, the badge's just a formality." Church tried to mediate, the tension clearly visible.
So, what's up Scarlett. How's your Charmander doing? My Bulbasaur just evolved the other day.". The subject had to be changed immediately.

i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah182/chrystalrogue/Scarlett%20Oak%20post%20avatar_zpspnywqiog.jpg Grateful for the change of topic, because she wasn’t entirely certain that blockheadedness wasn’t memetically contagious, Scarlett pulled out the Pokeball. And hey, it was an opportunity to show off her Pokemon! “My Charmeleon is doing quite well,” she said. “Between him and my Butterfree, Buzz’s Heracross and Beedrill barely stood a chance.”She made a face at the memory of the battle; it hadn't gone nearly so well as she let on, but she wasn't about to tell them that. “Even if the Gym Leader using Mega Evolution is so unfair.”

"That Char-melon of yours was brave as hell. He kept you safe while you were knocked out in that hole you wandered into. That's like...extra rations for a lifetime!" Marshall's eyes widen into a face of wonder that you might think was fake if it wasn't Marshall doing it.
Marshall finishes his hearty meal, and then walks into the dorm and leans on the doorframe. "Terry! Wake up dude! Half the day's already gone at this point!"
It is like 8 am.

Terry walks into the trainer area from outside, having showered, dressed and left without anyone noticing. "Amber, you're doing one last challenge before we head off right? I just walked past the gym and it was open." He turns to Church and gives him a friendly punch on the shoulder. "Nice work bro."

Amber was avoiding the gym talk for quite awhile as everyone got their breakfast. She seemed irritable and stressed and refused to talk. She softened a bit when Terry rejoined the group, as his support after her second loss rang through her mind. "We are gonna come back, right?" Amber said pitifully. "After I get the badge we'll still see Buzz around? I don't want to abandon him, even if we are gonna visit Peter Jones soon." She hides her face in her hands, " "I can't choose between gym leaders." she says glumly. But despite her hesitation, she also didn't want Buzz to think less of her. She knew she was merely putting off the inevitable. She would face him again. And say goodbye. For now.

"We'd have to come back, Indigo Plateau is just next door." Terry said, reaching over and patting Amber on the back. "That said, isn't the journey ahead more important than where we are now? There are so many people you haven't met, fossils I haven't seen, pokemon for Marshall to punch, something about Church and Scarlett..." He trails off frowning.
"I am just no good at this when I'm hungry." He concluded, heading over to the printer and getting to work on a pile of toast.

Amber's eyes lit up at the mention of the Elite Four. And the giggles got her. How could she have possibly forgotten. Not wasting a moment, not even to let Terry eat, Amber quickly invaded his personal space clasping his hands in her own. "You're so right, Terry! This journey is to meet all the Kanto Elites." She dramatically turned away, "I lost my way for a bit." She clenched her fist, "I'm gonna train everyone up and head to the gym. You guys finish packing up, I'll meet you when I get that badge!"

Church's face was a mask of tensed nerves. He immediately tried hiding it, frantically buttering a piece of toast and averting his gaze from Scarlett's questioning eyes. He could NOT be the weaker Trainer. "Yeah, it was no problem. " He turned to Scarlett. "Buzz's Mega was tough at first... Also your dad told him to use his super murderous shiny Beedrill on me, so that wasn't easy either. I had to take out that thing with fire. All in all, I think Buzz does that to teach young Trainers the importance of adaptability."
Then he heard it. "Something About Church and Scarlett...". Oh God no. This couldn't be happening. Church had never had much interest in girls before. He did like them, but just none in his class or neighbourhood talked to him, and those that did never piqued his interest in that way.
But this girl was really good at battling. For some reason, he wanted to spar with her and show her how great a Trainer he was. She was Prof. Oak's Daughter. His idol...
Besides, she was so damn pretty.
So he panicked. Unsure of how to proceed, his eyes wide as dinner plates, he began to sip coffee as concealingly as he could.

"Wait, Buzz used his Mega Evolution against you as well? That makes it fair by definition." Terry says after regaining his balance. "By giving everyone the same chance to fail against his Mega Beedrill he's being perfectly fair."

i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah182/chrystalrogue/Scarlett%20Oak%20post%20avatar_zpspnywqiog.jpg “What about ‘Church and Scarlett’?” the blonde demanded, fixing Terry with a cold stare that might have been imperious were it not for the fact that she was the only one in the room as small as he... and the blush on her cheeks. “My only interest in him is beating him, understand?”She was happy to jump to another topic when Terry presented the opportunity. This one was very uncomfortable. The kids at school had given her no small amount of hassling over her finally being defeated by some nobody who'd only just gotten his first Pokemon hours before... and that that 'nobody' was a cute boy. "No, I meant Gym Leaders using Mega Evolution against new trainers, especially when it's so rare for other trainers to be able to do it. Daddy's been working on it with the help of some data out of Hoenn and Kalos, but he hasn't quite cracked it yet."

Thank the heavens for the change of subject. Church's quick drinking burned his toungue, which he used to hopefully mask the reddening of his cheeks. Relieved, he replied to her, as if eager to prove to her that his intentions were only as a sparring partner. Yes. Only that. "How's Mega Evolving even work? They say the Pokémon draws energy from the trainer himself. Didn't Red have a Mega Charizard or something? There's this story about him using that to catch a Legendary Pokémon in a cave... somewhere. The details are diffuse and I think it's mostly the fans chattering."
Some of those subjects HAD to take hold.

i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah182/chrystalrogue/Scarlett%20Oak%20post%20avatar_zpspnywqiog.jpg Scarlett shrugged at Church’s barrage of questions, although a mischievous little smile did curl her lips. “Yes, Red had a Mega Charizard when he captured Mewtwo.” Her fingers fluttered on the upper casing of her Charmeleon’s Pokeball. “I’m sure you can imagine how much it annoyed Daddy when I picked Charmander instead of Squirtle, like he did back in the day. I want to find a Mega Bracelet of my own to find out the truth of how Mega Evolution works. Research indicates that the Pokemon utilizes a latent form of the evolutionary energies within the trainer, something we might be able to call the, well, the soul.” She smiled wryly. “If that’s the case, it’d prove my, um, ex wrong. Empirically.” After joining Amber on her third time challenging the Gym, the group separated to attend to some errands (and heal their Pokemon) before meeting up at the road heading north out of Viridian City.Scarlett, having prepared the night before and having no-one in town she particularly cared to see, sat by the edge of the pond waiting for the group to arrive. She had let her Charmeleon out of its Pokeball, the fierce reptile keeping watch while she collected handfuls of pebbles and tossed them into the pond in an effort to create an interesting pattern of ripples. Thus far, all she'd produced was a chaotic mess.

Terry is the first to arrive, The newly evolved Iola following behind him. "So whats your strategy against Peter Jones anyway? Charmeleon and Butterfree probably aren't your best bets." He asks, clearly worried about his own battle against the next gym leder.

Marshall arrived second, not needing to heal or resupply. Watching Scarlett toss pebbles, he decided this was a fine time to let Puluga get a soak in some real water. He then practiced Puluga's agility by throwing pebbles at him. "There ya go! You're dodging nearly every one!"

Amber had Chime out of his ball. She knew she was mopey at the moment (earlier she had found a deserted bathroom in the pokemon center to cry for a bit), and being with Chime always calmed her down. Although, Chime's new form was still something to get used to. Although, the tiny nuzzles from his roundish face were still the same. And while his voice changed ever so slightly, the tenderness was still there. Amber awkwardly shuffled to the meeting place, knowing that no one would make fun of her failure, but still not to keen to be around everyone. She really needed to break out of her funk. Perhaps seeing the great Peter Jones would help.

i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah182/chrystalrogue/Scarlett%20Oak%20post%20avatar_zpspnywqiog.jpg "You know those things have teeth when they evolve, right?" Scarlett asked, an impish smile on her face before she switched targets to Marshall's shins. Her smiled faltered a bit when she saw Amber come trudging up. "I was looking at the Pokedex earlier," she said. "Geodudes are pretty common around Mt Moon, on the other side of Viridian Forest, and they have a lot of advantages against Buzz's Pokemon and strategy."

Marshall smiles, dodging the first few attacks intentionally clumsily, before attempting to ricochet one of her thrown rocks back at her.
