"I don't know what it goes to and its bothering me." She said as she and Cairo sat down and watched the water. "My father gave it to me before I left on my journey. He said that I'll know when to use it when the time comes..." She said with a sigh and put the key away and the locket around her neck. She then leaned against Cairo and let Cubone come out to play.

"I see" Cairo began. "I never got anything cool like that...I my mom's only contest ribbon" He said, revealing a small blue ribbon from his pocket. "She was never very good but..I respect her very much" he added. They looked to the calm waves, and the accompanying soothing sound of the waves crashing ashore. Several Pelipper and Wingull flew overhead and the breeze provided this unparalleled calming feeling. Cairo turned his head to Alison, who remained concentrated on the sea as he leaned in and kissed her cheek lightly. "Wow, you two official or what?" Chad said as he approached the two from behind. They laughed before they said, synonomously, "Hey, Chad" before standing up. "Hey" Chad began, "why don't we head into town, try and find that thing you were talking about?" They agreed simaeltaneously and headed towards the route to the center of the island.

The three walked along, Cairo and Alison making small jokes and usual new couple banter. Feeling lonely, Chad called out Clefable to keep him company. Unfortunately, Clefable decided to play with Cubone and Marowak so Chad felt even more neglected. Trying once more, He called out Eevee who took her usual spot on his shoulder. "I can always count on you." He said petting his Pok?mon who responded by licking his neck. "Is that it?" He heard Alison ask Cairo as a small group of buildings came into view.

Cairo shook his head yes as they reached the town. "Lets look for the battle factory." She said looking around untill they came to a building. "This must be it..." She said looking at the massive building.

"Yea" Cairo said as they approached the doorway and looked up to see an immense blue bird enter through the, what was apparently a large whole in the ceiling. "Was that?" Chad asked himself, but was obviously heard by all three of them. "Couldn'tve been" Cairo responded, thinking the same thing as Chad. The three shook their heads and entered.
They manged to open two extremely large, steel doors, and entered a building with a clear view of a Pok?mon battle field, lit by ambiant light coming from above. That same blue bird flew into the building, but out of plain sight before they could make any definitive assumptions. It left behind a large trail of glistening sparkles, which they used as means of navigating their way to Rolan. They rounded a corner, every step echoing within the immense battlefield's large walls. "Rolan?" All three trainers began asking randomly, "Hey!" Rolan ran down a flight of stairs to greet the three trainers. "Sorry about that, wasn't expecting you so soon" Rolan informed the trainers. "Oh sorry, we can come back" Cairo said, finger motioned towards the door. "No its fine..Actually, Cairo, I was wondering...I know you're ranked ninth in the Hoenn League..." "Huh? Oh, yeah, I took ninth in the conference last year" He confirmed, "Well, then perhaps you're looking to go for, master of the battle frontier?" He asked with a smile, Cairo stood, motionless as Rolan said, "Alright look, battle me, if you win, you'll get a symbol. It doesn't have to be now, come back if you'd like after you've prepared."

"You should do it!" Alison said taking his hand. "You'll be great." She said smiling. Cubone jumped up into Alison's arms and smiled at Cairo. "Cubone thinks you should go for it too!" Alison said smiling.

"Hey if you don't want to, I will. I took 12th in the Hoenn league." Noland smiled looking to Chad. "I don't beleive we've met, I'm Noland." Noland said extending his hand foward. Chad shook his hand and introduced himself. "So, 12th, eh? What do you say to a tag team battle? You and Cairo against me." Noland smiled as he said this looking to Chad and Cairo as they turned to each other. "I'm up for it." Chad said to Cairo. "What about you?"

"Sounds good to me" Cairo said, confirmingly. "Alright then..take to your side of the arena" Rolan extended a finger towards the far end of the field. "Alright then" Cairo said as he and Chad walked across the field. A referee came running out from a door, stuggling with the referee shirt, and a small part of a sandwich in his mouth. "Sorry, sir, wasn't expecting this!" The referee told said, addressing Rolan. "It's not problem" Rolan reminded the ref, who ran across the field to Cairo and Chad with a clipboard in hand. "Can I please get your name's and hometowns?" The referee inquired, "Not problem, Cairo Whitter of Oldale town in the Hoenn region" Cairo told the ref, who was writing vigorously, "and you sir?" the ref addressed Chad, "Chad Erics, of Mauville City in the Hoenn region, as well." The ref jotted the information down before issuing thanks and sprinting across the battlefield to a sideline podium, poised to assess the battle. "Alright then, the battle between Cairo Whitter of Oldale town, paired with Chad Erics of Mauville city against Frontier Brain, Rolan is about to begin, please select your Pok?mon" Cairo drew a pokeball cautiously noting the presence of an amazing Pok?mon on the field. "Ar-articuno..." Cairo stuttered. "You have an Articuno?" Chad inquired, amazed. "No, hes just..." Rolan looked to the large blue bird, "a good friend" he said drawing a pokeball. "Alright then, everyone has a pokeball drawn" the referee began, " this will be a one-k.o. eahc battle, once one side is out of usable Pok?mon, a winner will be asessed, is everything clear?" The referee inquired as part of protocol, as all three trainers nodded, "Very well, both sides are ready, in 3, 2, 1, begin!" cried the referee.
((OOC: His name is actually Noland..Ha, sorry about that, I'll make sure to call him Noland from now on))

Alison took a seat and, with Cubone, watched as the battle about to start. "I hope they win, it would be a shame if Cairo and Chad lost..." She said, looking from Cairo to the large, legendary Pok?mon near Rolan.

"Alright, Clefable, battle position." Chad said to the pink Pok?mon as it readied to fight. "Eevee," Chad said. "Go play with Cubone for now." Eevee had apparently been waiting for that and she ran from Chad's shoulder to play with Alison's ground type. "Go, Mawile!" Cairo exclaimed, throwing the pokeball which soared through the air before landing on the soft ground and bursting open, luminous white light filling the surrounding space. "Articuno, start off with an ice beam attack on Clefable." Noland ordered. The legendary Pok?mon flapped its wings and took off into the air where it proceeded to launch a powerful Ice attack at Clefable. Almost losing his cool in the presence of such an awesome Pok?mon, Chad was suddenly brought back to earth by the sound of the attack. "Dodge and use thunder!" Chad said almost too late. Jumping back, Clefable managed to avoid the attack. A loud crack shot through the air as an electric attack made its way from Clefable to Articuno. "Articuno, Dodge." Noland said calmly.

"Mawile, forget Articuno for now, concentrate!" Cairo ordered, having been so concentrated on Articuno that he had barely acknowledged the fact that Noland had released another Pok?mon. "Wile!" Mawile cried as several large boulders threw it back harshly. "Mawile, now rock smash, then get close! Cairo ordered. "Wi, WILE!" it cried as it thrusted its jaw's into the ground revealing two large boulders, which were promptly whipped in the direction of the opposing Mawile. Cairo's Mawile lept forth and followed the rocks quickly. "Now, Seismic toss!" Cairo ordered as Noland's Mawile was bombarded with boulders. "Wile!" Cairo's Mawile cried as it worked its way through the boulders, and surprised an unexpecting opponent by clamping onto its vulnerable body with its immense jaws. Cairo's mawile held Noland's in its grasp and jumped to the air, flipping its boddy so that its jaws aimed at the ground, at which point it cried, "WILE!" and forced itself into the ground at high speeds.

((OCC: Can we speed up the battle? Not to sound pushie or anything))
Cubone stood with amazement at the battle that took place before him. "When you become a stronger level, you can battle too." Alison said hugging Cubone just as Pichu appeared from her pokeball. Pichu stood and watched Articuno with wondering eyes.

((OOC: Haha, alright. Watching battles can get pretty boring.))
Mawile and Mawile fought vigorously until Cairo suddenly ordered a Giga Impact attack which knocked Noland's Pok?mon out. "Help Clefable." Cairo ordered it. "Metronome!" Chad shouted to Clefable who was dodging another Ice beam attack. Waving its finger before releasing a strong confusion attack at Articuno.

((OOC: well that was...anti-climactic...Well maybe I'll just finish this quick then))
"Now Rock smash!" Cairo ordered quickly as Articuno finally came into view. The large legendary had already taken a beating from an enraged clafabe, and visa versa, thus the harsh boulders knocked it form the air and into the path of a readied Clefable. "NOW!" Chad cried out as a hyper beam fired from an exhausted Clefable, who was blown back by the force of firing it. "Clefable!" Chad called as he ran to his Pok?mon, on the brink of unconsciousness. "Cu...no" Articuno said, too exhausted to dodge the lethal beam.

((OCC: I'm going to assume the battle's over))
"Yes!" Alison said as both of Noland's Pok?mon fell. "Good job!" She said as stood, Pichu on her shoulder and Cubone in her arms. She walked over to Cairo and hugged him tightly. "I knew you could do it."
