As Salamance touched down on Five Island, Chad and Cairo jumped down and helped the girls down. A soft breeze hit them and Alison asked, "Shall we reserve our rooms now or later?" She asked taking Cairo's hand.

"Let's get it out of the way now, just in case it fills up quick" Cairo said before the four trainers dismounted Salamence. "Nice work" Chad called before raising a Pokeball before him and recalling his Pok?mon a flash of red and a loud, echoing sound. He turned back to his friends and sprinted to cathc up with them before they entered the center.
"Nice" Cairo said as he entered it and looked around. A few other people were in the center, one man at the PC, others elsewhere, and naturally, Joy behind the counter. "How can I help you?" She inquired politely, as was mandated by her job.

Nurse Joy set them up with rooms and Chad pocketed his Key card and grabbed a map from the counter so they could find their way to the battle palace. "So what are we going to do now?" Chad asked the group as they huddled over the map trying to find an interesting place to visit.

"I'm not sure" Alison said looking at the map. A breeze started to pick up slightly as their hair rustled around their faces. "Why don't one of you choose" She said to her friends as she stood close to Cairo to block from the wind. Dark clouds hung over them as looked. "Whatever you choose, you might want to make sure it doesn't take forever" She said looking up at the sky.

"We could go see that memorial for that guy's dead Onix" Cairo said pointing out a position, "Evidently its supposed to be some sort of life changing experience" Jessica added. "Well if were going to go, let's go now before it starts to downpour" Chad said, pointing upward noting the gray, looming clouds. "I think that could be cool, I could use an epiphany" Cairo said, looking to Alison, Jessica and Chad as everything got slighlty darker and the air slightly cooler.

After walking a short distance Chad felt a droplet of water on his shoulder. "Ah, came sooner than I thought." Cairo said looking up and getting a raindrop right in his eye. "Should we turn back?" Jessica asked Chad who took a pokeball from his belt and expanded it before aiming it towards the ground and releasing Mr. Mime. "Mr. Mime, use reflect!" He called as the Psychic Pok?mon took shape next to him. The Pok?mon made a few gestures with his hand and a barely visible wall soon appeared above them, protecting them from the rain. "Thanks." Chad said, tapping Mr. Mime on the head. Chad could tell the rain got worse by the pounding on the forcefield surrounding the group. "Is that it?" Jessica asked pointing ahead.

"I think so" Cairo said as they neared it. Alison stood against Cairo after reaching the grave because of the chill in air. The wind picked up and goosebumps filled Alison's skin even though she was wearing a long sleeve shirt and vest. She could feel goosebumps growing on her legs. "Can we not stay too long?" She asked Cairo.

"Yeah, we don't need to" Cairo said coming behind Alison and wrapping his arms from behind her, around her stomach, where his hand were linked. "And why not" A voice form behind them began, "Its a nice day, in its own, unique, way" the seemingly informed voice said. They turned thier hheads backward, then forward again as they followed the bearded man, apparently garbed in a toga and wielding a large staff. "Tectonix was a good Pok?mon, I battled him once. Amazing potential" The man reasoned. Silence loomed for a moment before the man sighed and turned to the trainers, "Now, I'm assuming the two boys are Cairo and Chad?" The man inquired, "Yeah, but..how'd you know that?" Cairo inquired. "My name is Spenser, I am the frontier brain on this island, and word of the two trainers who weren't invited to the Battle Frontier, but who have yet to lose, is spreading rapidly"
Chad and Cairo's eyes grew wide, but Cairo's arms never leaving Alison.

"So Spenser, when can we battle you?" Chad asked, wanting to skip all the chat and get down to buisiness. "Not now." Spenser said, looking up at the sky. "I battle outdoors and the rain can cause unfair advantages to some Pok?mon. Once it dries up come and see me." As Spenser walked away Chad asked the group, "So what Pok?mon does this Spenser guy use anyways?"

Jessica pulled out her laptop and started to type. "It says he uses Venusaur, Chansey, Shiftry and Claydol." "Interesting, but can we please leave?" Alison asked after Jessica put her laptop and the wind picked up sending the rain under Mr. Mime's reflect. Alison huddled closer to Cairo.

He embraced her tigtly, head in his chest as she shivered, "Yeah, why don't we get outta here" Cairo said as began issuing orders to the only Pok?mon of his that was out, "Beautifly, Gust, up high and keep it around us,not on us. Low Key, too, please" Beautifly fluttered from Cairo's head up high and began a steady flapping of its wings, and writhing about slightly. At first the gusts hindered their ability to locomote, but eventually it wrapped around them not hindering their site or motions, but with that and Mr. Mime's refelct, it was enough to keep most of the rain off as they walked.
"We headed back to the center?" he inquired as he rummaged through his bag and revealed a tight fitting black sweatshirt, a small, white, half-Pokeball emblem addorning the lower right corner of it. He fastened his bag and threw back over his shoulder before helping Alison into the sweatshirt, and throwing one arm around her waist, caressing her slightly, he knew his hand running up and down her side in small incriments wouldn't warm her too much, but it was instinctive.

"I guess so." Chad said, zipping up his sweatshirt which didn't help in warming him. When the center came into view both Mr. Mime and Beautifly stopped their attacks and the group made a dash for the doors. Joy was lighting a fire in the fireplace and she handed the group blankets as they came in. Chad and Jessica took a seat near the fire and wrapped the blanket around them. Jessica's legs were curled up and she was leaning on Chad. Cairo and Alison took a seat on the opposite couch, also cuddling in a blanket and the four of them talked about various things.

A little into their conversation, Alison sneezed. "I think I'm getting sick...this sucks" She sighed, not wanting to get anyone else sick. "Maybe I should just go to bed." She said as she started to stand.

She began to walk off before Cairo ascended to his feet as well and followed her as she walked, rather swiftly up the stairs. "Hey, I don't want you to go YET" Cairo said, smiling some and baring a "puppy" face, bottom lip pouted as he laughed slightly. "But I mean, if you really NEED to" he said taking one of her hands.
Chad blushed intensly as Jessica pushed herself close to him, and he wrapped an arm around her, listening to the crackling of the fire, and Joy's reminising of days of training, while she distributed two glasses of hot chocolate to the both of them.

Chad kissed Jessica lightly on the head as she playfully stole a marshmallow from his hot chocolate. "Hey..." He said smiling and taking the marshmallow back. She took it again and the two went back and forth doing so until finally Chad stopped and stared her in the eyes, smiling wide before he leaned in and kissed her on the lips. "Ah-hem." Nurse Joy said, interrupting their kiss after several seconds and nodding over to a group of young children who were sitting at a table giggling as Chad and Jessica kissed. "Oh, sorry." Chad said blushing.
