ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
The young teenager’s hands were quite full between his bickering Pokemon. Zaiden watched the two Pokemon arguing with each other through widened eyes. Immediately, Zaiden hopped back up onto his feet and stretched his body before jumping in the way and snapping his fingers firmly. “Both of you need to calm down.” The trainer commanded through a firm, if not a tad shaky, voice. Kogasu stopped in her tracks with a large ball of fire burning in between her teeth and stared up at Zaiden expectantly. Denki snorted, stomping one hoof impatiently in the ground as he glanced at his trainer. “She started this whole mess. If she would learn her place, this wouldn’t be an issue!” He snapped firmly.
Kogasu turned immediately back towards Denki as her tail swished behind her. The flames barely missed a small sapling that was poking out of the ground and struggling to grow above the tall grasses that surrounded them. “And what exactly is my place?!” She demanded, balling one of her clawed hands into a tight fist as the embers inside of her mouth burned brighter. “Kogasu, put it out.” Zaiden snapped firmly, leaning close to his fire reptile and placing a hand on top of her scaly head. When she stubbornly turned in his direction, mouth full of flames that seemed to burn even brighter, Zaiden’s face darkened with serious determination. “Out. Now.” He ordered firmly.
Kogasu reluctantly swallowed her flames and shook her head incredulously. “Why are you letting him get away with the way he’s treating everyone else?!” She asked loudly. She couldn’t understand her trainer’s motivation. Denki was the one going around threatening the other team members. Wouldn’t it make sense that he should be put in his place, instead? Zaiden simply stood back up and took a step closer to Denki, placing a hand on top of his head and petting him softly. “You too. Calm down.” He stated firmly. Then Zaiden added in a softer tone, “I care about all of you. No need to get jealous.” As though Denki might have needed to hear that.
Sai shook her head and growled loudly underneath her breath as the Meditite seemed to multiply into several of the ornery little guys. How were there so many at once all around her? A powerful headache throbbed in the front of her brain, causing Sai to stumble a bit as she tried to remain firm and balanced on the battlefield. “You ugly little monkey!” The armored rhinoceros roared at the top of her lungs. “I’ll make you pay for whatever you’ve done to me!” She rushed after him once more, placing her horn dangerously low so that it pointed in Meditite’s direction. When she was close enough to him, Sai would come to an abrupt halt. She would rear up on her hind legs and try to shake the earth once more by stomping on the ground with her front legs.
Yuki watched wide eyed and shook a bit where she stood. “Oh no…dear…I’m so sorry!” She called out to Meditite, who seemed to hold its own in the heat of the battle. Why didn’t Sai understand that she was mistaken about what was going on? “Sai, he was helping me! I’m ok, I promise!” Yuki tried to persuade her friend. As Meditite started to work itself up, it turned to Yuki and flashed a sweet smile in her direction. “It’s ok, friend!” Meditite promised with a firm bow of its head. “I can handle this on my own. Then we can get back to work visualizing your artwork before you create it!” His words make Yuki more nervous, as she didn’t want to see her wild friend battle one of her teammates.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
Sai grunted underneath her breath as Meditite slammed his foot into her side, causing the armored titan to fall onto the grassy ground. She buckled, tumbling about down the gently sloping hillside, and slowly pushed herself back onto her four limbs while shaking her head. It throbbed with such a terrible pain! No matter how hard she tried to shake away the pain, it only seemed to make it worse. As the large rhinoceros searched between the many Meditite on the field, she snorted angrily and stomped her hoofed foot into the ground with enough force to cause a decent indent. “Hold still you ugly little thing!” Sai warned her opponent.
Though as she began to charge after the Meditite, Yuki’s words would catch her off guard. Sai tried to come to a brisk stop. She slipped once more, falling onto her side, and slid into the base of a large oak tree. The tree shook and rattled from the effort, causing leaves to fall all around her and a few acorns to plop off its branches, slapping Sai on top of her skull and along her back and sides. “Oaf! Ow! Hey! That hurt!” Sai roared angrily, rolling back onto her feet with considerable effort and raising herself up onto her legs once more. “Why didn’t you tell me this sooner?!” Sai asked Yuki angrily. This could have saved her a lot of pain if Yuki hadn’t made her believe that Said needed to come to her rescue!
Yuki pawed at the ground sadly and stared down between her short feet. She mostly only saw wild grasses that rose up and towered above her, along with thick woolly fur that covered her feet from view. Was it her fault that all of this happened? Sai only wanted to protect her from harm. The Meditite only wanted to help her unlock her true potential as a starving artist. Yuki wondered why Sai didn’t simply ask her, before charging at the wild Meditite in a rash attempt to defend her. But if Yuki hadn’t been in the midst of the whole scene, the two Pokemon wouldn’t be fighting each other so heedlessly. “I’m…sorry…” Yuki cried softly. “…but if you’d asked…first…” Yuki gulped softly and slowly stared back up to the two dueling combatants.
“It is not your fault, young one.” Meditite’s words were firm and true. “Your friend rushed into this headfirst without truly understanding the situation. She made her own assumptions.” Meditite tucked its feets back underneath its body and sat cross-legged on the ground with its arms folded softly against its body. Sai snorted, shaking her head as she spun back towards the ugly humanoid creature. “Say that again to my face, you overgrown onion!” She pawed at the ground and kicked pine straw and leaves behind herself, preparing to charge once more after her enemy. There was no way she would take such obvious insults so lightly. Plus, she needed to get even for all the pain and suffering her opponent caused her!
Zaiden pushed past Karasu and Denki as soon as he felt the ground shake underneath him from the weight and effort of Sai’s falls. When his rich brown eyes landed on his Pokemon in the midst of a battle, he gasped in alarm. Sai looked absolutely terrible and on the verge of collapsing! How did he let this battle go on for so long without even knowing what happened?! “Hang on, Sai!” Zaiden called out, rushing over to his bag to fish out a familiar looking red-and-white ball. He clicked the button in the center and tossed it in a hurry after the Meditite, hoping he could scope it up into the ball before it had a chance to hit his Pokemon again.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
Zaiden dropped to his knees and released a soft sigh of relief. The gently breeze that swept over the land ruffled his hair and tickled his scalp. Sai was safe, though her rash personality seemed to be more of a thorn in his side than anything else. Rich brown eyes stared deeply at his armored rhinoceros, who poked her thick snout at the small ball and kicked at the ground. How could he help her calm down and plan out her attacks, when her personality seemed so geared to attack first and ask questions later? How could he protect her in the long run, and raise her properly, if she seemed blinded by her own impulses in the moment?
He slowly pushed himself up onto his feet and dusted the dust and debris on his legs off. Though the fog remained stubbornly in the air around him, Zaiden was sure he could see the outline of tall buildings in the distance beckoning him closer to the small town of Azalea. They were like giants looming in the distance, and Zaiden could almost imagine them as quiet monsters that towered above the trees and watched you from the shadows. What were these monsters like? Kind and benevolent? Or harsh and cruel? “Come on, team.” Zaiden turned towards the path they’d taken and began walking along it into the nearby forest carefully and surely.
They were nowhere near ready to face Bugsy right now. He was sure his team needed more cohesion and teamwork before he could feel confident in facing another GYM Leader. Zaiden tried to picture what Bugsy was like and assumed by name alone that his focus would be on bugs, though he wasn’t so sure what the fascination in dedicating an entire GYM around them might be. Besides a handful of bug Pokemon – such as Scyther or Pinsir – most were considered relatively weak and easy to train. Many young kids would start off with them due to just how easy they were to work with. I can’t underestimate my opponent…surely someone of his skills has something up his sleeve… Sai would complicate things if she charged blindly around Bugsy’s team, though.
Denki walked on Zaiden’s left side while Kogasu walked on his right. The stubborn stallion refused to so much as accidentally glance in the flame-tailed lizard’s direction. Why was his trainer so insistent on keeping such a rude companion on their team anyways?! “We’d do better once you learn your place.” Denki huffed underneath his breath, much too low for Kogasu to hear from the other side of Zaiden’s body. However, Tankoo and Yuki traveled near Denki. While Yuki only sulked more, pressing herself closer to the ground while shaking her head, Tankoo snorted firmly with a short laugh. “You’re full of yourself.” Tankoo stated bluntly. “It’s a wonder anyone can get along with you.”
Robin soared overhead while spouting small flames from the tip of his beak. He was free to stretch his wings! And the fire that shot from his mouth was pretty, like a bright light that attracted a moth from the darkness and into the light. Robin envisioned burning the forest around him, though he fought against the urge that clawed at him from the inside. While Sai traveled alongside, occasionally charging at random shadows only to burst through small tree trunks and small boulders, Robin would follow her quietly with slight amusement. “You and I are not so different!” Robin called out to Sai, who stopped and tried to crane her neck so she could look up at Robin. “What?” She called aloud. Kogasu shrugged. “I’m not sure what he’s on about, either.” She stated honestly.
OOC: Looking for new encounter.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
Zaiden walked alongside his Pokemon and watched them carefully as they traveled. He was bummed. He needed a way to help Sai find herself without having to reinvent herself so that she could be better managed in high stakes environments, and so that she wouldn’t always put herself in danger. He had to keep a sharp eye out for Robin, who seemed a bit too flame happy at times, and worried what his next evolutionary stages might bring. Zaiden wanted to find a way to get Kogasu and Denki to see eye-to-eye a bit better, so that they could work more cohesively as a team. Tankoo and Yuki seemed like his easiest companions in comparison to the rest. While Yuki sulked on occasion, Tankoo seemed to always focus on the matter at hand rather seriously.
A loud growl pulled the beige teenager out of his mind and back into the waking world around him. He paused in his steps as a shaggy dark grey canine climbed out of a thick bramblebush and bared its fangs. “You’re not taking another step closer!” The wild dog declared menacingly, snapping its jaws in the air as it walked slowly towards them. It kept its head tucked between its shoulders, tail pressed underneath its legs, and ears folded firmly against its head. The bristled fur and aggressive nature let Zaiden know straight away that this canine wasn’t one for playing games. “This is not…good.” They’d interrupted its homes, most likely. And while Zaiden would easily skirt around the wild creature to give it a wide birth and leave it undisturbed, it didn’t seem like the Poochyena was going to give him that option.
Then, before Zaiden had the chance to react, it chased him. Kogasu roared loudly at the top of her lungs, spouting bright red embers from the tip of her tongue after the shaggy furred beast. Tankoo rolled after it in hot pursuit. Though Zaiden ran as fast as his legs could carry him, he tripped on a small rock along the way and slammed headfirst into the grass covered dirt before him. It was just the right amount of time for Poochyena to react. “I’ll show you humans once and for all why you don’t come into our territory!” The wild dog leaped on top of the young lad and bit down on his leg with a strange, fierce tenacity. Zaiden yelled at the top of his lungs in pain and rolled around in the grass, trying to kick the wild mongrel off him.
Yuki raised her lazy head up from the ground she’d been wallowing on and turned to see her trainer being attacked. Alarmed, she fired off several small shards of ice after the dark grey dog and hurried over to Zaiden as fast as her short legs could carry her. “Hey!” She barked at the strange wild dog, narrowing her eyes angrily upon the intruder. “I don’t know what your problem is, but you leave my trainer alone at once! Do you hear me?! Leave him alone! He’s quite possibly the kindest, sweetest trainer there is! What could he have done to cause you to attack?!” She demanded to know.
Poochyena jumped off Zaiden and circled around Yuki while growling angrily at the small pig. “What could he have done?! He entered my territory!” Yuki, already upset by the scene she’d witnessed, huffed and shook her head. “That’s not reason enough to attack anyone!” She snapped angrily. She created sharper icicles on the tips of her freezing fur. Once they were large enough, Yuki would give a mighty shake to send them spiraling through the air. She hoped that some of them would manage to hit the wild dog and hopefully scare it away. “We don’t mean you any harm, unless you try to harm us first!” Yuki informed the shaggy mongrel.
OOC: Sending out Yuki and using Icicle Spear x2. If battle ends, I'd like to use my Multiplier on Robin.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
As Yuki chased the shaggy canine through the forest and off into the distance, Zaiden would slowly try to stand back up on his feet. He rolled and sat up on the ground and pressed his hands into the grass covered dirt. Zaiden grimaced and winced from the pain as he pushed himself slowly up onto his legs, though the one that the Poochyena attacked definitely hurt the worst. It was painful and ached. Whenever Zaiden tried to apply pressure, he could feel his legs buckling from underneath him. Denki rushed over to Zaiden and pressed against his trainer, helping Zaiden as he slowly walked down the route.
Though, when it was evident that even this was causing Zaiden too much pain, Denki snorted and stomped his hooves into the ground. “Agh. I’m sorry, boy.” Zaiden half-smiled while Denki blocked his path and knelt down on the ground by carefully folding his legs underneath him. Zaiden blinked a few times, not truly understanding what his stallion was trying to communicate. Denki snorted, nodding his head from Zaiden towards himself, and neighed loudly. “You’re too weak to carry yourself. Climb on my back. It’ll be a wild western flick.” Zaiden slowly crawled up onto Denki’s back, though he slipped a couple of times.
Once as he slipped, Zaiden reached out reflexively with both feet to catch himself. He screamed from the impact of the pain, only to have Kogasu rush over to help push her trainer up onto Denki’s back. Sai trumpeted loudly and raced over to brace Zaiden from behind as well. “Thanks, guys.” Zaiden huffed as he slowly but surely made it up and onto Zaiden’s back. They needed to get his leg checked out and fast. Luckily, Azalea Town wasn’t too far off into the distance and Zaiden wanted to rework a few things on his team really quickly. They stopped at the emergency hospital first, where they patched Zaiden’s leg up for him, then made their way over to the Pokemon Center.
“Oh my!” Nurse Joy with a small green cross on her hat gasped loudly as she watched Zaiden slowly making his way into her center on crutches. “What happened?!” Zaiden stared down at the ground in embarrassment and mumbled softly underneath his breath. He would repeat himself a little louder so that Nurse Joy could hear him better after he found some courage in himself. “Wild Poochyena attack. My Pokemon managed to help me.” He should have seen it coming sooner and should have been more prepared. How could he have let himself be brutally attacked by the wild Pokemon? Nurse Joy nodded firmly as Zaiden handed over his Pokemon to be healed, then helped him over to the Personal Computer where he could move his Pokemon around. “They’re pretty common around here. It’s why so many residents keep Bug Type Pokemon as companions here.” She explained.
Zaiden would place Tankoo back up into the PC temporarily as he pulled Kingyo out of the PC. Then, Zaiden would shift through his bag and pull out a strange looking piece of cake. He’d had it for a while and was advised to allow his Pokemon to enjoy it so that they could grow stronger from the cake. Even though the young lad didn’t fully understand why a slice of cake would boost his Pokemon, Zaiden followed the other person’s instructions by calling out Kingyo, Sai, & Robin, giving each of them a piece of the cake to enjoy. They all gulped the cake down readily and greedily. While Sai swallowed hers in one piece, Robin pecked at his until he consumed it all. Kingyo managed to gulp his down in two bites. Then, Zaiden would switch Kingyo and Tankoo back around, placing Kingyo back in the PC and pulling Tankoo back out.
OOC: Robin evolves and learned Evo move Flame Charge forgetting Growl instead.. Zaiden puts Tankoo up into the PC and pulled Kingyo out. Zaiden gives Kingyo, Sai, & Robin Birthday Cake in inventory. Robin level 17 > 18 & +0 > +1 Happiness. Sai level 16 > 17 & +2 > +3 Happiness. Kingyo level 9 > 10 learns Water Pulse and forgetting Tail Whip & Happiness +0 > +1. Then putting Kingyo back in PC and pulling Tankoo back out. Looking for a new encounter. Note: Bulbapedia is missing the Gen VIII link for Goldeen, but in Gen VIII Goldeen's Water Pulse was learned at level 10. Included link instead. Self-updating all of the new levels, evos, & moves from previous round & birthday cake. Leaving Zaiden's only cake for another staffer to confirm.

It was a foggy afternoon, or was it still late morning? It was hard to tell when everything was just grey, grey, grey. A red little hoppip floated through the trees having no clue of where it was, or if it was going in circles around the same couple of trees. It was used to go where the wind carried it but honestly, usually it was more interesting with things to look at than it was today. A rich and sweet smell reached it and it forced itself around and went looking for it, it had never smelled anything like that before but it smelled delicious. As it spotted a human with pokemon and the sound of eating, it knew it had found the right place. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/hoppip.png) A hoppip [Lv 11] has gotten lost in the fog.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
The condensed water vapors clung to the still air as a strange ghost that covered the land and smothered out all signs of life around. Their ghastly forms created long silhouettes of various proportions of dark greys looming through the lighter steels and somber silvers of the foggy atmosphere. Whenever a gentle breeze pushed through, its invisible tendrils would gently tug at the long arms of the strange silhouettes, causing them to shake and stutter. Their several long arms that seemed to branch off into several smaller arms all stretched after the lad and his Pokemon, though Zaiden remained oblivious to their effects.
Something caught the beige teenager’s eyes. Young Zaiden placed one of his coffee-colored hands on his forehead as if to shield his eyes from the blazing brightness of a sun whose ultraviolet rays couldn’t quite penetrate through the land-based cloud-like forms that graced the lowest levels of the troposphere and wrapped its greedy hands around everything it saw. He scrunched his face up, causing small wrinkles to drag their forms across his forehead, from the corners of his mouth, and from the corners of his eyes from the effort. Dark brown hues who seemed as though they were but small pieces of milk chocolate candies studied through the dense fog while searching.
Where would they head next? Anxiety plagued his heart. Was Zaiden’s team ready for the arduous journey towards the front gates of Azalea’s GYM? Would they push past the ‘golden’ archways after propping the doors open for themselves, ready to claim the coveted small badge whose small circular appearance held bright red paint fixed with specific black markings to resemble a ladybug in its modest form? Or would they be cast aside as though they were day old cabbage? Boiled and cooked to perfection the night before, only to be discarded for their inedibility upon one’s waking of the following day? He needed to ensure that his team was fit – from head to toe – to face the bugs that awaited them inside of Bugsy’s team.
And what of his team members? An armored rhinoceros whose plating could ensure she would survive through nearly any crash or fall. Yet it was exactly that logic that made Zaiden so thankful for her tanky body. For the silver statue would easily and too readily spin on her heels towards the smallest provocation, chasing it down with her horn pointed in its direction, only to crash into the nearest rock or tree. Would that serve to be too ill-suited for a battle inside of a GYM, whose carefully constructed walls and hallways would be costly to repair should her wandering moves go astray? Then there was the bird whose bright red body with its soft blue undersides and striking black wings encrusted in golden hues at their edges seemed too ready to light anything ablaze. While fire is a good deterrent for bugs, would it be too much for the building as a whole to handle?
And what of his beloved Kogasu? The medium sized lizard with her Seattle salmon red scales and long horn protruding from her scalp had been a hard one to rekindle with since her evolution. Would she be impossible inside of the GYM or would she pull her weight with Zaiden’s hands – rocky and nervous though they may possibly be – guiding her along the path towards their eventual victory? The gentle breeze kicked up, causing the stilt-like silhouettes wo creak and groan from the effort as they shook and swayed. Something strange danced on the wind, swaying through the trees in a haphazard fashion as though it had little to no control of its own. It was small and round, with two long limbs protruding from the top of its skull and a dwarf limb protruding from its side. Though, as the dark grey silhouette moved closer, Zaiden’s rich brown eyes noticed the truth readily through the fog.
The two limbs were but brilliantly green serrated leaves whose edges looked almost like the blade of a knife. The dwarf limb below was its tail, while the Pokemon held still yet even smaller limbs at the bottom of its body. Hoppip were easy Pokemon to handle on their own and required such little effort to consider what he should do that Zaiden just shrugged and turned to his team of trusty Pokemon. “Yuki, why don’t you give this battle a try use-?!” Already, his reliably hasty rhinoceros was jumping to her feet and charging towards the assailant like a battering ram gone rogue. Zaiden slapped his hand against his forehead and shook his head heavily while muttering something incoherently underneath his breath. “NO, SAI, STAND DOWN!” That got her attention. The armored tank came to a squealing halt as she spun around to face her trainer, while Yuki summoned up the courage to shake loose a few drops of ice that she would use to create a brilliant display of two Psyduck holding hands. “Do you like art?” Yuki asked the presumably gentle Hoppip curiously.
OOC: Sending out Sai first round and switching to Yuki. Then using Icicle Spear. If battle ends, I'd like to use my Multiplier on Sai!

The battle was swift. Sai came out before being forced to return to his Trainer, and Yuki only had to brace a single blast of pixie-powered wind before pelting the Hoppip with the image of two Psyducks and their love. It was swift and painful, and the Hoppip went down with ease.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
The Hoppip grimaced as Yuki asked it a question about art. It placed one hand on it chin and tilted its head while thinking quietly. Did it like art? The way the sunshine spilled through the treetops to the forest floors early in the morning was a thing of beauty. Sitting on its favorite rock with its eyes closed, listening to the wild bird singing sweet melodies amongst themselves while wild mammals scurried about and foraged through the wild undergrowth was a thing unlike any other. Resting by a gentle babbling brook and inhaling the salty sweet air that wafted from its watery tops and lingered was an unwritten story. Art was nature all around itself, but created art that was unnaturally formed was a sense of disgust. “No.”
When Yuki’s spears shot off of her body and collided with each other to form the picturesque imagery of the two ducks holding hands the Hoppip simply shook its head. Yuki carved at them with her short teeth and claws, making sure that each tailfeather was as pronounced and distinquished as the last. One Psyduck’s eyes even had the telltale markings of long lashes added for effect, while the other Psyduck had a small scarf around its neck. They pressed their feathery hands together, interlocking the primary feathers together in a warm embrace. “This isn’t art.” The Hoppip declared boldly, slapping the statue and causing the whole thing to sway back and forth. Large chunks broke off, slashing and cutting into Hoppip's skin as it rocked against the cotton-shaped plant Pokemon.
Yuki’s eyes widened as small tears welled up in their corners. Was she a terrible artist? Had she no skills at all for her craft?! She watched the Hoppip destroy the thing she loved the most and whinnied at the top of her lungs. “I get that you think its bad,” She huffed in a shrill voice. “But you don’t have to destroy someone else’s work!” She dug at the ground with one of her hoofed feet and turned angrily to the Hoppip while shaking her head. Red tinted her vision, causing the world around her to appear as though it were knee deep in sunset hues. “Please leave at once!” She wanted to rush at the Hoppip and slam her forehead against its rear end to get it to leave, but fought the urge to be maliciously hurtful. That was not a healthy way to react to blunt, honest criticism.
Hoppip shrugged, turning away from Yuki. It rubbed its body where the many cuts scored against its thin arms and legs and caused droplets of bright crimson to seep from its veins. It needed to heal itself anyways and was in no physically fit shape to continue a proper fight should this boil down into one. “You asked. I was honest. Mother nature is our artist, no one else. Please don’t follow this silly dream of yours and ruin the beauty of this world she’s created.” With that, the Hoppip hopped off through the undergrowth and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Zaiden walked over to Yuki after noticing that his piglet was in distressed and gently touched the top of her head. “You ok…girl?” He asked her softly. After he gave her time to reconcile her emotions, Zaiden would turn and lead them down the path and out of the rocky forestry around them. They’d spent enough time training and he wanted to see how well they were ready for their GYM battle against the infamous Bugsy.
OOC: Wrapping this up, we're finished here! Yay. <3 Skipping out on Mist for now.
