He never truly slept that night, and spilling luminesence allowed for him to acknowledge true morning. He had showered the night before hand, so instead, he simply ascended to his feet and dressed himself, taking care not to harm himself by hitting his back. Soon he was dressed, in a black and gray argyle sweatervest, over a white collared shirt, sleeves buttoned but looking more like quarter sleeves given a less than large fit. He slipped on his characteristic straightleg, tighter jeans before slipping on his shoes, fastening his Pokebelt, and heading out of the door, leaving the room less pristine than he normally did, out of pain in hunching over.
He strode down the hall, sighing slightly with his head looking down at his feet before he hit the stairs and raised his head to the lobby ahead.

"Good morning" Alison said with a smile as she looked up from her conversation with Chad. She stood to her feet and strode over to her boyfriend and gently wrapped her arms around him, making sure not to hurt him. After kissing his cheek, she asked "So, did you get any sleep?" As she led him to the couch.

Jessica awoke from yet another nightmare, but nothing so serious. Then she noticed she fell asleep with her regular clothes on, and they were blood-stained, so she took a quick shower soon accompanied by a change of clothes. Now she wore a scarf of a blue-green colour, the same style as Dawn's. She wore an identical shirt, but this one was teal. Her skirt this time was sea green, and only reached the halfway towards her knees. Her shoes were rounded, and exposed the top of her feet, this hole ending right before her toes, and a strap reaching across the hole. She also wore an olive green beret, and straight hair. Jessica tidied up a bit, and went down to the lobby, seeing her three friends already there. "Ah, last to wake again." Jessica put a hand behind her head, and closed one eye. "Well, you guys like the new outfit?" She hoped casual and usual talk would help get over the recent events.

"Nope.." Cairo informed her before a voice behind him posed a query, "Well, you guys like the new outfit?" Cairo turned, releasing Alison before eyes perused Jessica's new attire. "Yeah, cool" he said before Chad offered a more heartfelt, enthused response. "My favorite shirt, that gray striped one, got ruined by whatever hurt me last night..Gotta get it...stitched up or, replaced or something" he said as Chad, Jessica, and Alison noted his new attire as well.
"We battling today?" Cairo inquired turning to Chad who nodded promptly, "I'm ready" he said before Cairo met his response with an equally confident, but slow nod.

"Just don't get hurt" Alison said with a kidding-glare and she laughed since she couldn't be serious. "If you're going to battle, can we do it quickly? I can't stay on this island another night." She said with a slight touch of nervousness. She grabbed Cairo's hand and squeezed tightly and layed her forehead on his arm.

"I'll try" he said, laughing, responding to Alison's facetious order. "I know it, we'll get out of here soon" he assured her, post-her aforementioned query. They turned to the door, and before exiting the center, bid farewell to Joy via head nod and waves, respectively. They took to the electronic door, opening before them as they stepped out into what was, at long last, a sunny day.

As they walked toward where Spencer's arena is, Alison tightened her grip on Cairo's hand, worried about her friends' upcoming battle. "Are you two sure you're ready?" She asked as they entered and were met by a man with a clipboard. "Good luck" Alison said as she kissed Cairo. Post her good luck, she and Jessica made their way to the stands, awaiting for their friends' battle. "Come on..." Alison whispered as she let Vulpix out of her pokeball.

"Hello, guys" the man garbed in stirpes began, "I assume you two are here to battle Spencer" he stated before Cairo and Chad nodded. "Alright, can I get your name's and hometowns?" he asked of them, "Cairo Whitter, of Oldale town Hoenn" Cairo stated before Chad answered promptly as well, "Chad Erics, Mauville City, Hoenn". He jotted something down on his clipboard swiftly before placing the pencil firmly atop the clipboard, in fixed place. "Follow me" he began as Cairo, and Chad followed the reff up an immense staircase and to an arena atop a islandesque cliff. Wind blew hard atop the mountain that was the arena, as Spencer stood, staff in hand, and beard blowing wildly before he exclaimed. "Choose your Pok?mon..wisely". Spencer wasted no time, he didn't want any emotion interferring with the battle. "Alright.." Cairo began and he and Chad drew expanded Pok?Balls, adjacently, Spencer did the same.
Jessica and Alison were escorted to a hot hair balloon, with screens in the basket walls, fed from the video of a flying robotic referee that would follow the battle that was likely to leave the arena and take to the forest or beach below.

Jessica called out Ariana and Amanda from decorated, glass-coated Pok?Balls, and Bianca from a regular one. "I really need to decorate Bianca's ball..." Jessica said to herself. The balloon took off shortly after Alison, Jessica, and the reff boarded. Ariana stuck close to the balloon, but Amanda went flying any which-way. Bianca, despite having the freedom to fly anywhere she wanted, simply landed on Jessica's head. "You really like it up there, don't you?" Jessica asked, rather playfully. "Freeee!" Bianca replied. "Okay, then." Jessica started. "Well, this ought to be good." She said, as four Pok?Balls were tossed.

"Claydol..Shiftry" Spenser called out calmly as he threw two Pok?Balls to the air and rained down the familiar white light that turned quickly to his Pok?mon before dissipating completely. Cairo and Chad looked to one another, Pok?Balls in hand. They were going to try an extremely risky move, but one they had contemplated and practiced before. "Go!" They called out simultaneously as their air piercing Pok?Balls released two very unexpected Pok?mon in a flash of white. A quick moment passed and soon the two immense Pok?mon, Claydol and Shiftry looked at the seemingly docile Beautifly and Eevee.
A bead of sweat trickled down Chad's forhead and Cairo gulped nervously, "Hope this works" Chad said calmly and quietly to Cairo before the referee delcared the start of the match.

Eevee was laying down and licking her paw, apparently not realizing how important this battle was. "Eevee, swift!" Chad said, dissapointed that Eevee was already bored. Eevee looked up to Chad smiling and then turned to Shiftry and fired a few stars at it before she began chasing her tail. Shiftry was hit by the attack which appeared to do nothing, before aiming a razor leaf attack at Eevee. Eevee was excited by the leaves coming at her and blissfully dodged each one. She even managed to catch one in her teeth and she began chewing on it. "Spit it out, Eevee, and use Secret Power!" Eevee obeyed Chad and spit out a big green mess that had once been a leaf. Instead of using Secret power Eevee used a Quick attack and began to run around Shiftry as fast as she could.

"Shadow Ball, then move close..." Cairo ordered as he threw an arm forward, quickly and sternly accompanying his order. Beautifly exclaimed as she sent three Shadow balls in sporadic directions, being narroaly avoided by Claydol, who was ordered to use Secret Power by Spenser, as Beautifly drew closer. "Dol.." it confirmed in a monotoned, almost robotic manner. "Bug Buzz!" Cairo ordered as Beautifly drew close enough to harm Claydol. A translucent aura boomed from Beautifly, just before she was slammed hard with careening, glowing, boulders from Claydol's attack. "Dol" it exclaimed, still montoned as it was thrown backward slightly by the attack sent by Beautifly itself, then further by a rock reverberating from off of Beautifly's attack, and sent back, harshly, at Claydol. Beautifly, too was smashed by a careening rock, sending them both from the edges of the arena.
Claydol careened to the ground, while Beautifly maintained an, injured, composure in the air. "Chase Claydol, now!" Cairo ordered as Beautifly looked to its trainer, then nodded and descended through the air quickly. Claydol was falling hundreds of feet, back facing down and looking upward as Beautifly pierced the wind and loomed above it. "Shadow ball!" Cairo screamed over the wind rushing past Beautifly. "Psybeam!" Spencer ordered in response. Soon Purple beams and dark spheres were being sent flying past the Pok?mon, narrowly avoiding them while navigating the rapidly descending air as best they could.

"Bullet seed!" Spenser said to Shiftry who was trying to grab hold of Eevee. Eevee was continuing to run around Shiftry and was going so fast that every bullet seed missed. Chad was happy that Eevee was doing so well. "Now hit him!" Chad shouted. Eevee sprung into the air and hit Shiftry with her head, using the speed from the quick attack. "Brick break!" Spenser shouted suddenly. Shiftry grabbed hold of Eevee with his right hand and with his left was about to do a brick break attack until he suddenly realized what he was holding was a substitue Eevee had made at the last second. The real Eevee was gnawing on a stick behind Shiftry. "Rrrg, that was your chance, Eevee." Chad declaimed. Shiftry turned around and noticed Eevee. Before he could try another Brick Break Eevee had darted through his legs and ran to Chad who she rubbed against, thinking he would lift her onto his shoulder as usual. "Eevee, stop. Use Swift on Shiftry, please." Eevee used another Swift attack and after that another and then another. A large amount of stars shot towards Shiftry and each one hit it in the face. "Shift!" It shouted in pain. "Woah, Nice one." Chad said to Eevee who was staring playfully at Beautifly.

"Shiftry, enough playing around" Spenser said. "Leaf storm" he ordered as Siftry focused for a moment befroe billowing out torrents of thick, speeding leaves. "Eevee, dodge!" Chad exclaimed before she looked back to him for a moment blankly, then smiling. "Do as I say!" he added before Eevee was bombarded with waves of leaves and sent flying from the edge of the arena. "Eevee!" Chad exclaimed running to edge along side Siftry who leapt off of the edge. "Chad, control your Pok?mon!" Cairo called out as Chad retorted, "Shut up, catch Eevee!" Cairo nodded before ordering Beautifly out of sparring with the descending Claydol. "Catch Eevee!" Cairo ordered, hands cupped to his mouth before Beautifly ceased firing Shadow balls, and turned away from Claydol, before looking staright at a grinning Shiftry, firing leaves that Beautifly struggled to dodge while trying simultaneously to dodge Psybeams and catch a frightened Eevee. "Fleee!" Beautifly exlcaimed as a powerful Psybeam ran harshly across her back, and after Eevee falling atop its somewhat scorched back, it was bombarded with leaves it couldn't avoid. "vee!" "Flee!" they ululated as leaves shrouded them and sent them careening to the ground alongside Claydol and Shiftry who met the ground with an agile stance, and hovering, respectively. "Guys!" Cairo and Chad exclaimed as they accompanied Spenser down the staircase and into the forest that was now their arena.

As the battle raged on, it soon turned to the forest for a field. The balloon quickly (a bit too much so to be pleasurable) neared the new area, along with the reff-bot. "Y'know, this is just an odd way to battle. But, I do like it, I suppose." Jessica said, mainly to Alison, who was watching the screen as intently as Jessica was a moment ago.
