Jessica sighed. She knew there was no way Bianca could take on a Skarmory. "Alright, return." She said, quietly and pointing a PokeBall at Bianca. "Heh, I expected that. Pursuit!" Winona said, as Skarmory dashed for Bianca. Bianca had already become red light, but before the whole beam was retracted into the PokeBall, Skarmory hit it head-on. Bianca rematerialised, but with spirals for eyes. "Wha--" Jessica gasped. The referee called Bianca out, and this time Bianca was successfully returned to her ball. Jessica sighed, and pulled out another PokeBall. She tossed it, and with a flash of white, Sanderson was now flying above the field. "Alright then, Skarmory, Swift!" Winona called out, and although you could tell she was serious, her voice had an odd, gentle flow to it. Harsh flaps from Skarmory's wings revealed several golden stars, all of which shot straight for Sanderson. "Quick, dodge! And then use Dragon Pulse!" Jessica called, which resulted in Sanderson harshly flapping his wings a couple of times, sending him directly upwards. He narrowly escaped the barrage of stars, and then shot a draconic wave from his mouth. It smacked right into Skarmory, who was thrown back in the air. However, the stars had changed course, and came right for Sanderson's back. They smacked him hard as well, but not as hard as the Dragon Pulse had done Skarmory. ~~~ "Alright then... Sanderson, Steel Wing!" Jessica called, and right after, Sanderson's wings began to glow a metallic silver colour. "Skarmory, you too!" Winona said soon after Jessica, and now both Pok?mon had silver, glowing wings. They went for each other at high speed, and collided in midair. This caused both to start falling to the ground, both barely conscious. "Sanderson, open up your wings!" Jessica cried out, hoping it would work. Sanderson, with much effort, managed to open up his wings, causing him to curve away from the now near ground. He landed on the ground, breathing heavily, while Skarmory crashed right into the ground. When the dust stirred up by the impact cleared, Skarmory could be seen on the ground, spirals for eyes. Just as the referee was going to make his call, Sanderson fell over too, also with spiral-eyes. The referee called both Pok?mon out, Winona smiling somewhat, Jessica looking somewhat worried and fully concentrated. "Oh no... I have no more Pok?mon capable of flight..." She thought to herself.

Kecleon and Ditto had been playing with the female Kecleon but when a young boy had captured it with the help of his grandfather they ran back into the gym to be with Chad. Chad hadn't noticed their absence but when they became visible again in front of him he was startled. "Hey." he said as he smiled and pat them on their heads. The two Pok?mon became invisible again and a two stripes, one blue and one red, jumped back into Chad's backpack. "Uh-oh." Alison said from nearby as Sanderson was declared unconscious.

Jessica drew her breath, and hoped her tactic would work. She had pulled out a PokeBall, and closing her eyes, she tossed it. It shot a white light directly towards the ground, which formed into Lucario. "Oh, if that's the case..." Winona said, looking to the referee and nodding. He pressed a button, and the platforms lowered down to their original position, which was at the most a yard above the ground. "Uh, well, er thanks." Jessica said, surprised Winona would change the battle like that. "Uh-huh, it's nothing. A new gym rule, actually. But don't think it'll be any easier!" Winona said, tossing a PokeBall. It opened, and with white light and tiny, star-shaped sparkles, a sea-green Swellow was now flying about ten feet over the battlefield. Without hesitation, Jessica commanded a Bullet Punch. "Counter with Aerial Ace!" Winona sent back, and the two Pok?mon went for each other. Lucario slowed a bit, though, and waited for Swellow to come. It came alright, quickly too, but when it got close enough, Lucario punched it straight-on. This sent Swellow straight to the ground, buried a bit. Seemingly without command, Lucario also sent off an Aura Sphere at the "grounded" Swellow. It impacted rather harshly, but not enough to faint it. Jessica grinned, as it was on her mental command that Lucario executed the attack. However, her grin faded once she saw Swellow, struggling to do so, getting up. "Come on! Get up, and use Aerial Ace!" Winona called, and once Swellow was upright on the ground, it zipped through the air, impacting Lucario harshly. It sent him backwards a bit, almost tripping him. "Don't take that, Lucario!" Jessica called, then looked deep in concentration. "Surprise Swellow with Bone Rush, once it comes near again." Jessica thought, hoping Lucario read it. He nodded in recognition, and Jessica smirked slightly. "Swellow, another Aerial Ace!" Winona commanded, and her Pok?mon again went for Lucario, rushing through the air at high speed. But, Winona noticed Jessica's smirk, and that Lucario had summoned a glowing, light-blue bone. "Pull off Swellow!" She called, but it was too late, Swellow was close enough, and Lucario had smacked it quite hard. It was sent directly to the ground, spirals for eyes. "Huh? I won? Yes! I won!" Jessica exclaimed, and rushed to the battlefield, hugging Lucario. He looked rather surprised at this action, and when Jessica sensed this, she let go. "Thanks, buddy. Return." She said, and with a red beam from a recently taken out PokeBall, Lucario was back inside. Winona had now come to the field, a shining Feather Badge in hand. "Here you go, the Feather Badge!" She said, handing it to Jessica. She politely took it, and said "Thanks." "Mm-hmm. That was a great battle!" Winona commented. Jessica pinned the badge to her sleeve, she had nowhere else to put it. Finally she climbed up the bleachers while her friends climbed down, and was met by congratulations from them. She then noticed the boy who was there, and spoke fairly quietly, as to not be rude. "Who's he?"

Chad shrugged and said, "Who cares? He's not bothering us." Jessica still looked to the boy but eventually stopped. "He probably just came to watch the match or maybe battle Winona after you." Cairo suggested. The four of them stood silent for a while, unsure of what to say or do next. "So...can we get out of here now?" Chad asked the group. His question was met by a few yeahs and nodding of heads and the four of them walked over to the door where they saw a young boy and his grandfather talking about how to raise Pok?mon. "So what else can we really do here?" Chad asked, looking around.

"Not entirely sure, I've been all through it before, sure you have too" Cairo offered as they progressed farther and farther passed the gym. He looked to their surroundings, immense trees, billowing clouds and clear skies, this was undoubtedly one of Cairo's favorite towns in the entire world, let alone Hoenn, though, he had liked it so much that he had gotten the fullest out of it the first time around. "Perhaps we should get going to your hometown, Alison?" Cairo inquired, looking to her before taking her hand. "Beautifly" he said as he used his open hand to grab, and release from his hand his Pok?mon in a flood of light aimed upward. "FlIIIII!" the Pok?mon exclaimed as it flew swiftly upward, darting around with the Wingull, Pidgey and Taillow, glistening beams of sunlight exclaiming her sparkling path the followed the Pok?mon wherever she flew. Cairo smiled as sun beat down on him and his friends, turning his dark black hair light brown, and blue eyes flooding with light, hundreds of feet above the ground on a large bridge between two immense trees, wider than houses as leaves fell, and a few vines lined bridge.
"Ah god.." Phoebe said as she panted alongside Felix, who collapsed from exhaustion. She fell backward and caught herself, sitting up, and propped up by arms extended to the ground backward beside Felix, who was lying breahting in and out heavily. "Well, we made it, don't know why we had to sprint the WHOLE way, but we did it" She said as they looked to one another, smiling. "Hey!" She began again, startling Felix slightly after a moment of silence and calming, "A Beautifly!" She exclaimed as she stood, grabbing Felix by the wrist and approaching the direction of the Pok?mon that caught her eye.

"We probably should" Alison said to Cairo's question as she watched Beautifly fly around. She took Cairo's hand and rested her head on his shoulder as they walked. Soon a girl and boy were seen playing. She saw the girl point at beautifly and turn back to the boy. "When shall we head back to the Pok?mon center?" She asked.

"Y'know, maybe we should stop in real quick, I know Bianca and Sanderson need it, and I'm sure Lucario would appreciate it too." Jessica started, "But perhaps we could be off for your home later today, Alison? Of course after we apologise to Nurse Joy and allow her to re-sell our rooms, of course." After a bit more discussion on the topic, Alison brought up a good point. "But again, your Flygon can only hold two, maybe three people. And it's too long of a distance for Girafarig." She explained. "Oh yes, I've been thinking about that issue. Really, all we need to do is have Ditto Transform into Sanderson." Jessica reasoned. Finally, after a bit more discussion, the group made their way to the Pok?mon Center. Jessica got her Pok?mon healed, and with thanks from both Joy and Jessica, she went over to her friends. "So, how about it? Do we leave now, or tomorrow?" Jessica asked.
OOC: I don't really care either way.

"Let's go now" Cairo reasoned, anxious now more than ever to meet her family, for whatever reason. "It's what were here to do, get to her family, help her step-mom. Let's get to our goal, I say" Chad added before he drew a Pokeball.
Phoebe saw in the distance a small gelatinous blob form and write about on the ground, at one point tripping Chad before he was seen reprimanding it, then ordering it to transform. "Woah" she manged as the Pok?mon transformed to a shiny Flygon, beside a real one, "We've got to meet the, Beautifly, Flygon" Phoebe began before Felix added, "And Shiny Ditto!". "Oh no, theyre going!" Phoebe exclaimed before she drew a Pokeball and sprinted forward beside Felix, "Pidgeotto!" She exclaimed as she tossed a Pokeball forward, releasing the smaller bird in an explosion of white light, "Are you crazy?" Felix began, "Pidgeotto can't hold us" he concluded before she grabbed the bird's talons and reached out for Felix's hand as his and Pidgeotto's eyes grew wide.
