After a little distance traveling, Cairo and Alison arrived in the tree city of Fortree. "Wow" She said as she was helped down by Cairo. After returning Girafarig, they made their way into the city, looking for Chad and Jessica. "They must not have arrived yet." She said as he took her hand.

After some time of flying over trees, Jessica began spotting houses in them. Eventually, there were many houses, and at one point a city. Jessica pointed to it, and stated, "Hey, Sanderson, could you drop us off there?" Sanderson replied by a nod, tucked in his arms, and straightened his wings. This caused a quick gliding decline in altitude, and eventually they were on the ground. Jessica and Chad hopped off, and Jessica returned Sanderson to his PokeBall. "Whew, that was great fun. I'm glad I got Sanderson." Jessica announced, exhilarated by Sanderson's speed in flight. Eventually, Chad and Jessica made their way deeper into the city. "So, where do you suppose Cairo and Alison are?" She asked, after about five minutes of no luck in finding them.

They progressed through thicker grass, looking to towering trees that evidently housed buildings. "Woah" He managed as sun rained down upon he and Alison as they began ascending an immense, log staircase...or more a vertical bridge than anything, as vertical as a birdge can be. They progressed upward, leaves were falling, giant trees towered above them, and vines draped down around them until they reached the treetops that seemed to house a city. Bridges linked trees and homes, and Taillow and Pidgey were drifting eveyrwhere you looked. "I forgot how amazing this place is" He said as he held her tighter, walking across a huge, log bridge hundreds of feet above the ground, with simple, rope railings. "Hey, that could be them..." He reasoned as he looked to two figures in the distance.

"I don't see them anywhere." Chad said, looking left and right. "Me neither." Jessica responded. "Hey!" a voice cried from somewhere above them. Chad looked at the houses in the trees but couldn't see the source of the noise. "HEY! CHAD!" The voice shouted loudly. This time Chad spotted Cairo who was cupping his hands around his mouth like a megaphone and leaning over the rope. "Oh, hey!" Chad shouted. "What?" Cairo shouted back. "Nevermind." Chad yelled. "We're coming up!" he called to them as him and Jessica found a ladder and began to climb it.

Chad and Jessica continued up the ladder, to come up and find themselves on a wooden platform with Cairo and Alison. Jessica shook her arms out, as she wasn't exactly "fit." A large building could now be seen from the the higher elevation. Jessica looked to it, and noted its structure. "Hmmm... Well, a building that large must be important. What do you guys say? Should we take a look?" Jessica said. Right after her query was posted, Bianca again released herself from her PokeBall, now with the special effects of hearts and white lines, and again landed on Jessica's head. She giggled slightly, but remained attentive for an answer from her friends.
OOC: That's the Gym, btw.

"I don't see why not" Cairo said, after greeting them apropriately. They progressed over that same, creaky, log bridge and toward a building that with every step seemed to grow larger, and more and more official looking. "I think I remember this.." Cairo said, Chad's thoughts racing to the building and his recollections as well. "Is this?" Cairo thought to himself before Jessica stated, "I think it may be a gym" aloud before they stood, peering through the building's translucent doors. Cairo thought silently for a moment before nodding, "Winona's" He and Chad both said synonomously, recieving a look from Jessica and Alison who inquired, "What?"
"Winona" Cairo began, "She's a flying-type gym leader. Tough one too" he said conclusively, clutching the pocket of his bag that held his Hoenn League Badges slightly.

"So, shall we stop on in even though you have your badges?" Alison asked Cairo who was clutching his badge case. Jessica and Chad shook their heads yes and the group entered the gym where a battle was taking place. "So, did you get the badge before, after or when you were with Kyleigh?" She asked. The battle was taking place between a red-head girl and Winona.

"Way before" he answered her promptly as they seated themselves and watched a Pidgeot and a Swellow go at it ferociously. "I met Kyleigh in Sinnoh, after I left Hoenn" he added as Pidgeot lashed the ground, crushing it beneath it as it bounced up and down, crashing right and left as it desperately tried to escape powerful gusts, both Winona, and the opponent looking triumphant, but involved in the battle at hand.

Finally the battle ended with Winona's victory. Soon the trainer left and the group walked down to Winona. "Hey, remember me?" Cairo asked as the group finally got to the gym leader. "Yeah, you're Cairo Whitter, right?" She asked as they shook hands.

He nodded, "Yeah I remember you...eighth or ninth in the Hoenn League, right?" She inquired as he nodded, "Something like that" he responded with a smile. "Well" she began again, "I take it that you...or Chad" she said pointing the trainer, who's eyes grew wide for a moment in surprise that she remembered him, "Won't be battling me again, so which one of you ladies will it be?" Winona inquired, hands at hips, and looking expectantly to Alison and Jessica who both looked slightly confused.

"No, no...I can't..." Alison said as her face became red. She backed up behind Cairo and took his hand. "I really can't..." She said again, her face as red as the hair of the previous trainer. Her friends looked at her and her face became redder.

"Oh umm" He began, looking to his blushing girlfriend, "Thats alright" he said with a smile, "You weren't planning to" he added as he laughed slightly and took her in his arms, kissing her forehead. "Hmm" Winona began again, "Well, how about you?" Winona inquired, eyes aimed at Jessica, who looked equally surprised. A moment of silence filled the air, and Jessica turned her head and looked to Chad who shrugged before she looked downward and swallowed anxiously, "I don't know.." She reasoned in her head.
((OOC: I don't know whether or not she wanted to battle Winona, she had said something about Winona sparking her character's interest in gym battles, so I don't really know. I can change my post if you'd like))

((OCC: I have an idea))
"I'll think about it" Jessica said as she was looked at. "Come back anytime then" Winona said with a smile as she walked away. "Lets get rooms now before we forget" Alison said in Cairo's arms, her face still slightly red. They walked out of the gym and into the forest city. "Lets find the Pok?mon center" Alison said looking around.

"Uhh" Cairo said, looking to the vast plethora of foliage that was the city. "I wish I could remember" he added before Chad motioned, via wave, the trainers to his side, "I do" he said before they began walking behind Chad. They progressed over a few bridges linking immense trees, and finally through a wave of vines, and stood before an immense Pok?mon center. "Wow" Cairo said as he looked up to the huge building, topped with fauna and Mankey, and Aipom. "Cool" Jessica added before they progressed through the transparent doors.
"Welcome to the Fortree Pok?mon center, can I be of assitance?" Joy immediately inquired as the four trainers broke the proximity of the lobby.

"Can we have four rooms please?" Alison asked Nurse Joy. "Give me a second" She said as she put their names down as they said them. "Here you go" She said as she handed them their keys. After their keys were stored, Alison asked "Shall we explore this interesting city?" She then took Cairo's hand.
