Zuzu and Koko complied with the orders picking up a Poochyena each, putting them in the bush as Fufu seemed to go to pick up the Poochyena before turning away haughtily. (Roll Perception or Intuition. DC 5 On closer examination, you could tell that Fufu wasn't strong enough to lift the Poochyena. ) |

Sarah chuckled softly, before looking at Koko, "You mind showing her how to lift it girl?"
She smiled, a little pokemon rivalry so they compete to keep ahead of each other was important.

Koko smiled nodding, glad Sarah recognized her strength as she went over to easily picking up the Poochyena,giving a smirk to the pruple balloon, who angrily inflated looking at Sarah wondering if there was something else she could do to show up Koko.
Koko seemed to ignore her taking the Poochyena over to the bush putting it with the others.

Sarah smiled at the two of them not saying anything towards any one of them in specific, "Alright you guys good work."
With that she returned Zuzu and Fufu, "if there happens to be another fight Koko you'll get to have a chance."
With that she smiled, and started walking along with Koko.

Raven was doing a little victory dance with Jarppa the whole time, seemingly unaware of the proceedings until Sarah started walking ahead.
"Hey, wait up!" She exclaimed, recalling Jarppa and taking a few running steps to catch up.

Tamira finished up wrapping the Cottonee and picked it up to carry with her with ease, the Pokemon being very light. She wanted to keep it out of the ball until it healed up a little more. "Alright, I'm ready to go. Let's get going."

After a bit more walking the group was able to spot why the Groostasie was called the Grand Train Station, in the center of the city was a large hub, multiple train lines running into it, many people filing in and out of the station as multiple passenger and freight trains rolled into the station. The rest of the city seemed to grow out from it, Route A emptying out onto a street that headed straight to the hub.

Sarah quickly pulled her dex out with one hand, and took some notes with her other hand checking over what she could write down.

The main street seemed to be catered to visitors the Pokecenter and Pokemart right outside the station across from each other. The rest of the street was home to hotels and shops detailed around travelers most of the shops selling things like maps and train schedules. (Perception 8) Sarah also noticed something odd, most of the people her age seemed to be gathered by or heading toward where the train crossings were. |

Following the young people Sarah comes across a large group of youths congregated around two train crossings, one with a battleground crudely drawn in chalk running parallel to the tracks, at the other tracks is a battle ground drawn running across the crossing. 4 young people with pokeballs stood at the battle grounds all the youths seemed to be waiting for something.
Suddenly Sarah heard a bell ringings as the guards came down at the crossings, 2 trains coming out of the hubs.
On the battleground running parallel the youths started battling as soon as a passenger train started going past, one managing to score a knock out on the other. The other youth sent out another pokemon, but as soon as the train had passed a third youth stepped in calling the battle for the youth who scored the knockout.
One the battleground running across the crossing a long freight train came through, with gaps between cars. The trainers telling their pokemon to up their status while their were train cars between them and their opponents, Than attacking each other with ranged moves when a gap appeared.
A slightly large group of spectators gathered by each battleground watching the fights.

As they walked into town, Tamira looked around at the town. There was a lot of train centers, the city really living up to its reputation. She turned and looked for the center and mart, and then turned back to find that Sarah had already booked it. Again, really? Are you serious Sarah? Tamira sighed. She didn't think Sarah could sit still for more than 30 minutes. Tamira turned to Raven and asked, "do you want to follow Sarah, or do you want to go to the center and mart? Maybe look for Pokemon?"

Seeing the new battling format, Sarah's eyes lit up entertained on every level. She smiled looking at the new strategies coming into her head.
Though she quickly realized none of her pokemon would be particularly good at this kind of fight. With smile she knew what she needed to do.
She said to one of the people watching, "You know if their taking challengers? I'd love to give this battle a shot in a bit."

The person turned to her "Oh sure anybody can battle if they want and have the Pokemon, But you need at least 2 Pokemon for the Passenger Line, and you can't use physical fighters on the Freight Line, it would be unsafe." she said pointing to the respective battle fields as she explained.

"Oh sorry right you're not from around here, so you probably wouldn't know. It's the kind of trains that go through the crossing. Passenger line, is for a passenger train where people ride to get around. While the Freight Line, is for a Freight Train, they take goods and materials places. A Passenger train is usually shorter, while a freight train can be pretty long." she explained.
"The Passenger Line, is the horizontal field. Essentially the two challengers wait until a passenger train is coming through, and they fight until it's passed. The winner is whoever has the most Pokemon still standing." she explained pointing to the parallel field
"The Freight Line, is the vertical field going across the crossing, Basically you lob attacks at each other when a gap in the train cars comes up and prepare while there's cars in the way. It goes until one side is out of pokemon" she explained pointing to the field going across the crossing.

"I want to catch pokemon for sure, but I guess we should first see where Sarah went off to. Come on, let's go!"
Not waiting for Tamira's answer, Raven dashed after Sarah.

Sarah nodded hearing the explanation and said, "Cool I'll be back."
With that he left the train yard area looking to go find a pokemon that would do well in these completions, pulling out her dex to see where it recommended.

"well I guess I don't have much of a choice do I," she muttered to herself, before chasing down after her.

Tamira and Raven arrived at the train yard just in time to see Sarah walking away from a group of people.
When Sarah checked Groostasie's entry in her map it highlighted a few areas where people should avoid without Pokemon. First was the power tunnels underneath the station that helped power it which attracted electric types, second was the routes that surrounded the town and the last was the loading area home to many steel, and a few urban pokemon.
