The frosty landscape spoke to the future winters that would eventually claim the lands. The once bright green grass was layered in a fine powder of icy crystals that crunched softly underneath your feet. They melted instantly from Sizzlipede’s hot embers as he tore across the ground, burning the grass along with the frost, and caused soft, wet spots along the way where they didn’t completely evaporate from he touch. Two Pokemon stood in the distance facing off with each other as they bickered incessantly. Clearly, the frost brought them out to play, but not everyone seemed to get along with each other. A small poisonous rabbit stared at the onion-headed child-like Pokemon through narrowed eyes. She pointed her horn and jabbed at it, causing the small humanoid creature to jump backwards while throwing its hands wildly in the air. “I was here first!” Meditite insisted, pointing to the sizeable boulder beside them. “I use this rock every day to meditate! It gives me the best visions!” There was absolutely no way that it was going to give up its rock to some lowly forest critter this easily. It earned the rock fair and square, finding it first and hopping on top to claim ownership. “No you didn’t!” Nidoran complained. “Besides, it’ll help me warm up on this frosty day. Now leave!”When they spotted Shinya with his team, they both turned to face him. Nidoran huffed angrily and pointed her small horn in Shinya’s direction threateningly. “No! Nu uh! You can’t come here to claim our spot! I’ll teach you, your stupid trainer!” She roared, before tearing across the ground towards Shinya, hoping to jab her horn at his legs. Meditite crossed its arms and focused its mind, summoning its psychic energy to try and scoop the man up, hoping to toss him off into the distance before he had the chance to send a Pokemon out to battle. “I’ll get rid of him, Nidoran. Then you’ll be on your merry way into the forest and I’ll have my rock all to myself!” Meditite declared egotistically. Tree? M59SZiNz1-8Shiny? 1-421-42 Wild Nidoran ♀ and Meditite are Arguing! Levels 13 and 8 respectively. What will Shinya do? 1-42·1-42·1-42

Although the sudden appearance of the frost was very cold, it was also quite peaceful, creating a pseudo winter wonderland feel to route 33. Shinya and Sizzlipede didn't like this one bit, glancing all around them with facial expressions of boredom and disgust. "Rgh! This place is so cold and borin'! I wanna burn stuff! I wanna burn stuff now!" Sizzlipede angerly declared, his small body still broiling hot to the touch. Unfortunately, given the cool temperature of the air, setting this route on fire likely wouldn't happen as easily as it did back on route 29. A fact that Shinya quickly clued into in his mind, letting out a mildly frustrated sigh. "I can't believe I'm sayin' this, but keep it together, Sizzlipede. We'll find some chumps for ya to burn soon, I'm sure. They can't hide from us forever."
Fortunately for the pair of felons, Shinya was absolutely right, as the sounds of an argument soon reach their ears. Turning their heads in the direction of the voices they heard, Shinya and Sizzlipede decided to see what all the fuss was about. And boy, did they like what they saw, getting their grins back instantly. "Fresh meat. Ready to be cooked." The Alolan trainer made a little joke, already imagining Sizzlipede's flames burning the two wild Pokemon alive. However, before either the trainer or the Pokemon could make a move, both of the wild Pokemon noticed them and immediately tried to chase Shinya off. Unfortunately for the Nidoran and Meditite, they had both made a grave mistake. One that would end up costing them dearly.
"Oh? So, I'm stupid, am I? Didn't your mommy ever teach ya not to pick fights with anyone bigger than ya?! Huh, ya pathetic little runts?!" Shinya was not at all pleased with Nidoran's choice of words, nor their attempts to attack him, keeping his grin but gaining an anger point on the side of his head. And unfortunately for the two wild Pokemon, he was a lot bigger and faster than they were. Acting fast, Shinya kicked a mixture of mud and slush right at Nidoran, hitting the Poison type right in the face and stopping her advance. Immediately after that, he jumped backwards, getting out of range of Meditite's psychic powers. But the Team Skull grunt didn't stop there, quickly grabbing a Pokeball from his bag and tossing it up into the air. "You're up, Anorith! Go show these squirts who they're messin' with!"
The Old Shrimp Pokemon appeared from the Pokeball, materializing on the icy ground and letting out a yawn, as he big eyes slowly opened. "...Another battle?...Fine, but can we make it quick? I was in the middle of such a wonderful dream." Before getting to the actual battle, Shinya decided to take a little revenge on the small Pokemon that dared to insult him and try to do him harm. "Don't worry, Anorith! Finishin' off these squirts shouldn't take too long, but before any of that, use your Metal Claw and destroy that boulder over there!" Setting his devious plan in motion, Shinya pointed out the very boulder that Nidoran and Meditite were fighting over when he and Sizzlipede arrived as he gave Anorith her first command. Even in her half-asleep state, Anorith's eyesight was still some of the best in the entire world of Pokemon, as she turned to face the large rock and began to crawl towards it.
"Sure. Whatever...As long as I can go back to sleep soon." With Nidoran still cleaning mud off her face, and Shinya quickly tossing another ball of mud and slush right at Meditite's huge head, Anorith had a clear path to the boulder. Upon reaching it, she raised both her claws up, coated them in gleaming metal, then struck the boulder with both of her claws at once, causing it to shatter into ruddle. After that, Shinya enjoyed a round of laughter at the wild Pokemon's expense, then got right to the battling, with Sizzlipede standing in front of their foes, and Anorith standing behind them. "Ahahahahahahahahah! So much for your precious rock, huh, squirts?! But don't think for a second that this is over! Anyone who insults Shinya Stinger, his Pokemon, or Team Skull gets destroyed!"
"Sizzlipede, use Flame Wheel on Nidoran! And Anorith, hit both of 'em with a Rock Slide!" Having been given the go-ahead, Sizzlipede built up tremendous heat in and around his body, rolling up into a wheel, then rolling full speed at the wild Poison type. "You're cold?! Then I'll heat ya up for good! Hope this is hot enough for ya, squirt!" The Radiator Pokemon copied the same insult his trainer used, even though he wasn't that much bigger than Nidoran. Meanwhile, Anorith let out another yawn, followed by a sigh, doing her best to psyche herself up for battle, but that was a struggle in and of itself. "Ugh...You're both so loud...Can't we at least try to be a little quieter please?" She already knew the answer, so she just got to work, raising both of her claws up in the air and summoning a large number of boulders to fall directly above Nidoran and Meditite.
OOC: Just for the record, Anorith's Metal Claw attack on the boulder was just fluff. More of Shinya's cruelty and nothing more. Also, here's 600 more words for Shinya's Hawlucha egg.

The pair weren't expecting Shinya. But could anyone, really? He kicked slush right into the nidoran's face like a mock mudslap and the wild pokemon reeled back, shaking her head in disbelief. "I'm going to make you pay for this," she declared, clearly upset by this turn of events. Urg. Humans. But as she tried to orient herself, the trainer sent out a pokemon and told him to destroy the rock?! WHAT! "LEAVE THAT ROCK ALONE! IT'S NOT YOURS!" she cried out, running that direction. "P-please, there's no need to do that!" She even wiggled cutely in desperation, but it was all for naught. One powerful metal claw and the rock exploded into large chunks, falling apart and rendered useless for their purposes. The meditite clenched its fists and tried to retaliate with some of its psychic powers, grabbing fruitlessly at the fossil pokemon. As it did so, both pokemon distracted by the boulder's destruction, the fire-bug got to commit another arson and charged into the fray, a ball of fire. Nidoran screeched in pain and surprise. It was a chaotic mess. And of course, the decisive blow as the rock slide Anorith made. Those precariously stacked boulder chunks were easily tipped over onto the two wild pokemon standing amongst the remains. They both noticed and tried to dodge, but it was too late. They were crushed under the rubble. Shinya was victorious.

With yet another victory secured, Shinya, Sizzlipede, and Anorith all celebrated this outcome in their own unique ways. Staying true to his nature, Shinya showed absolutely no concern for the crushed wild Pokemon, continuing to grin away and let out a few chuckles. "Don't mess with the best, runts." While Shinya was belittling the two unconscious Pokemon, Sizzlipede was still using his Flame Wheel attack, rolling all around the area and leaving a trail of scorched grass and earth in his wake. "WOOHOO! This new move is awesome! So hot! Burnin'! I love it! I gotta burn more! So much more! Ahahahahahahahah!" And finally, while Sizzlipede was burning and laughing like the arsonist he was, Anorith was doing her best to drown it all out, covering her earholes with her claws with a great deal of discomfort on her face and in her voice.
"Ugh...Yeah, yeah. We won. Yippee...Can I please go back to bed now? It's too cold and loud out here..." Still, as much as the Old Shrimp Pokemon didn't care for the volume of her teammate's voice, she did however take a liking to his handy work, crawling over to one of his scorch trails and making herself comfortable beside her newfound heat source. A few moments later was when Shinya finally stopped savoring their victory, grabbing Anorith's Pokeball and planning to call her back to it. But then, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted something that truly stood out amongst the branches and leaves of route 33. Something that was actually quite familiar to the Bug type trainer. Turning his head to get a better look at it, Shinya narrowed his eyes, thinking that he might've been seeing things at first.
But no. His eyes were not playing tricks on his, and that realization caused the Team Skull grunt to grin an even bigger grin than before, as his excitement level began to rise steadily. "Oh, heck yeah! Looks like today is shapin' up to be a really fun one, guys. Let's go. It's about time I introduce to two of ya to an old friend of mine." With that, Shinya started to walk towards the person he saw, expecting his Pokemon to follow his lead. Although, when he said the word "friend", he did so with a great deal of sarcasm in his voice. "Any friend of yours has gotta be strong, right, boss?! Wait up! I gotta see this guy then!" Changing his direction, Sizzlipede was quick to follow right behind Shinya, continuing to use Flame Wheel the entire time, only stopping for a brief moment to listen to what his trainer had to say.
"Huh?...Hey, wait! Don't leave me! You're my heat source! Come back!" Feeling the heat all around her start to dissipate, Anorith opened her eyes back up and was surprised to see that she was being left behind. And more importantly, that her source of warmth and comfort was leaving her behind in the freezing cold. So, as much as she didn't want to, she quickly followed after Shinya and Sizzlipede, hoping that whoever this "friend" was would be worth all the cold and discomfort. Heading through the trees and bushes of route 33, Shinya and his two Pokemon came upon a clearing, just as this "friend" was finishing up a battle of his own with one of his own Pokemon. The "friend" in question was none other than Silver. A newfound rival Shinya discovered shortly after arriving in the Johto region.
Maintaining his grin, Shinya decided to make his presence known to the other trainer with an insult, stepping into the clearing and calling out to him in a tone filled with mockery. "Hey, Rumpel-Forehead, guess who!" The Alolan trainer had chosen an insult relating to the fact that Silver was always in a bad mood. At least as far as Shinya knew. Hopefully, Silver would respond exactly the way Shinya hoped he would, and the two would get into another heated Pokemon battle. As much as Shinya loved to insult Silver, there was no denying that Silver was a skilled trainer. With that in mind, he'd make the perfect warm up opponent for Team Skull before they went to go face and destroy Bugsy in a gym battle. Sizzlipede was clearly ready for another heated battle, but Anorith was only ready for another round of heat from her fellow Bug type Pokemon.
OOC: Requesting a Silver encounter, obviously. And here's 600 more words for Shinya's Hawlucha egg. Thanks.

Silver was riding the high of beating the snot out of another Picnicker who decided to challenge him with their wimpy pokemon and then cried about it when they lost. Nothing could bring him down on this frosty, autumn day when everything was going his way. Well. That is until he heard an unfortunately familiar voice. Silver scowled, hands balling into fists before he whirled with a sneer on his face. "Oh look, it's the Grunt. The bug-catcher thug who won't shut up about Team Skull. Have you come up with any new dialogue or are you going to bore me with the same spiel like an NPC in a bad video game?" The redhead brought out a ball, already itching and ready for a challenge. "Let me guess, here to mug Bugsy for a badge? Or maybe you'll blabber him into submission with your endless talk about bugs. I bet you'd bore even a bug-type gym leader like him." Silver taunted, his sneer becoming harsh with mockery. Clearly, despite previous losses, he didn't think Shinya was strong. "Why don't I just put an end to your little dreams here? Send you crying back to New Bark where you belong, with all the other bug collecting toddlers."
Rival Silver is challenging you to a battle. He sends out his (LV 16) Zubat. What will Shinya do?

As he waited for Silver to finish speaking, Shinya put his hands behind his head and lost his grin in favor of a more nonchalant facial expression. When the opportunity for a retort finally presented itself, the trainer from Alola was quick on the draw with one, which came out in a tone that perfectly matched his facial expression. "Now that's just rude. I don't talk about bugs THAT much. Seems ya still only know how to gripe, not listen." While it was true that Shinya was a Bug type specialist, he didn't choose to train them because he loved them to bits or anything. In truth, he trained them because they were the Pokemon type of choice for his big bro, Guzma. Shinya truly admired his big bro more than anyone or anything and wanted to follow in his footsteps in every possible way. So, training Bug type Pokemon was a no brainer for the green-haired trainer.
However, even though Silver's words failed to light a fire under Shinya, they did succeed in lighting a fire under someone. Although, this individual was already on fire to begin with. "WHAT?! Say that again, ya loser! I dare ya! I double dare ya! Think you're better than the boss?! I'll turn ya to ash, then dump your ashes in a Meowth's litter box!" Sizzlipede yelled at Silver, glaring a very fiery glare at him, fully prepared to make good on every single one of his words. And even though Shinya was flattered that his newest Pokemon was ready to defend his honor, he still put his left foot out in front of the Radiator Pokemon, stopping him. At least for now.
"Woah there. Easy, Sizzlipede. I'm all for a good beatdown, or cremation in this case, but let's not forget why we're here. To get in shape to give Bugsy a good beatdown. And even though he's a total and complete tool, Silver is a pretty good trainer. Ergo, his Pokemon will make good fodder for us. Not to mention, it's always good to have some extra cash on hand." With that, Shinya's grin returned, and Sizzlipede started to grin as well, understanding the situation now. All the while, Anorith was still curled up beside the Bug/Fire type, using him like a campfire. Unfortunately for her, sleepy time was still out of her reach, as Silver sent out his first Pokemon.
"So, first up is your flyin' rat again, huh? Hope it finally knows a Flyin' type move. But even if it does, our team ain't the same as it used to be. Anorith, you're up. Get out there." Shinya shot some mockery back Silver's way, then glanced down at his fossil Pokemon, giving her a gentle nudge towards the battlefield with his left foot. Naturally, this made Anorith sigh heavily before she obeyed her trainer's orders, leaving Sizzlipede's side and crawling out onto said battlefield. "Ugh...Not again. Not so soon...I really hope this one goes by as quickly as the last one did..." The Old Shrimp Pokemon looked up at her winged opponent, grateful that she at least possessed the clear type advantage this time around.
"Ya got this, Anorith! Crush 'em! Crush 'em like ya crushed those two little chumps from earlier!" Sizzlipede wished he could've been chosen for the first battle, but still cheered his teammate on, also hoping that she'd win this bout quickly so that he could have his turn. Having faced Silver and his Pokemon several times before, Shinya had a pretty good idea of Zubat's move set and made sure to keep it in mind while giving Anorith further orders. "Well, ya heard 'em, Anorith! Let's see an instant replay of your Rock Slide attack! Watch out for Zubat's Astonish though! Better use Rock Slide twice just in case!" Wanting to get back to bed more than anything, Anorith raised her claws up as high as they could go, pouring all of her power into this attack. "Okay...Here they come...Let's hope this works." Directly above the Bat Pokemon, huge rocks materialized out of thin air and proceeded to fall, able to deal some massive damage if they hit their mark.
OOC: Running Shoes used. And another 600 words for Shinya's Hawlucha egg.

"...What IS that thing? Did you have to bring back a bug from the dead to make your team actually FUNCTIONAL?" Silver taunted, unfazed by the threatening display of the fire-type. He crossed his arms and continued sneering, "Zubat will confuse that shrimp and—" Rocks fell from the sky and squished Zubat flat. The poor little bat wasn't fast enough to even react before it was turned into an unconscious patty on the ground. He momentarily balked. "...Okay, FINE, clearly you have some new tricks. But you're not the only one. I've gotten stronger too, and you WON'T be running your mouth about taking my money after I defeat you!" He whipped out another pokeball after returning the bat, and Gastly entered play. Maybe it was a little grim to send out a literal ghost after your first pokemon took such a strong hit that it didn't quite look, well...ALIVE? But fortunately for the little batty, it was still breathing, just very, very sore.

Silver's taunts continued to bounce right off Shinya like a rubber bouncy ball, as the Bug type trainer scratched the back of his head and waited for the redhead to finish speaking. "As much as I'd love to take credit for revivin' the dead, Anorith here actually came to me from a trade. Some other trainer got lucky over at the Ruins of Alpha. I think his name was Alex or somethin'. I don't really remember. I had to trade 'em quite a hefty sum to get this ancient gal-" Shinya trailed off a bit, but his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Silver's Zubat being buried alive by Anorith's Rock Slide, which caused Shinya to grin yet again. "But as ya can see; she was worth every penny."
The Alolan trainer chuckled a bit, as that first round was over even faster than he thought it would be, while Anorith overheard her trainer's kind words about her and couldn't keep herself from blushing slightly, despite her tired state. "...I'm not an object to be bought and sold, boss...But...thank you for that. Glad I was able to make you happy..." Hearing this, Shinya turned to face Anorith, giving her a smile and one more round of praise, as he grabbed her Pokeball and called her back to it. "You've earned it, Anorith. Just like you've earned this nap. Sweet dreams." Shinya tucked the Old Shrimp Pokemon's Pokeball back into his bag for now, then both he and Sizzlipede eyed Silver and his second Pokemon just as he raised his voice at them in anger. The green-haired trainer probably could've made a joke about how morbid the appearance of Silver's Ghost type Pokemon was, but Sizzlipede's blazing fury immediately burnt up any chance of that happening.
"It's my turn now! C'mon, boss! Put me in! Do it! Do it and I swear I'll show this floatin' fool a fate far worse than death!" The grass all around Sizzlipede burnt to ash as he yelled out, glaring daggers at Silver's Gastly, fully prepared to take revenge for all of Silver's disrespect towards his trainer here and now. And with his smile changing back into a grin, Shinya granted the Radiator Pokemon's wish, pointing at the Gas Pokemon and giving Sizzlipede his first set of orders. "Go for it then, Sizzlipede! Show these scrubs that even a newly hatched Pokemon like you is way better than they are! Use Bite! Back-to-back!" And just like that, the Bug/Fire type was off, crawling right over to Gastly, raising his long body up off the ground so he could reach his foe, and opening his burning jaws up as wide as they could go.
OOC: Since they didn't get used up this time, I'll use Shinya's Running Shoes this time instead, just in case of Gastly's Hypnosis or Confuse Ray attacks. And, of course, 452 more words for Shinya's Hawlucha egg. Thanks.

"Oh, so you had to PAY for a decent pokemon. That explains things. You mug enough baby bug catchers for their lunch money or did your 'boss' buy it for you." Well he couldn't sound more condescending if he tried. Until he followed it up with a crass sugar daddy comment and basically called Shinya gold digger suck up. Someone was very bitter about his batty being squashed by the superior rock-bug— "Gastly, show them why you're better by using Confuse Ray! That stupid bug will probably bash its own face in." —which was followed up by being bitter about his GHOST being banished by a series of bites by the centipede. Silver grit his teeth and scoffed, flipping his hair a bit as he tried to act aloof, "Well. That was disappointing. Croconaw, show them what you're made of." As if gastly hadn't just been hyped up and fainted right after. Someone would probably always be a sore loser, eh?

"Tch. I can't believe I'm actually sayin' this, but at least I got all my Pokemon fair and square. Refresh my memory. Didn't ya steal that starter Pokemon of yours from Professor Elm or somethin'? At least I've got friends and family to give me stuff. Ya must be so lonely, with nobody but your weak, mentally challenged Pokemon to talk to. But hey, it's not ALL their fault. Pokemon do learn behavior from their trainers." Once again, Shinya was ready with another sharp-tongued retort, maintaining his grin as he dealt Silver a real low blow. Referencing the fact that the red-haired trainer had no loved ones to call his own, and possibly dredging up any painful memories that may have been associated with said fact at the same time. And unfortunately for Silver, if that was in fact the case, there wasn't much he could do about it.
Even in his confused state, Sizzlipede was still able to locate and sink his sharp, red-hot fangs into Gastly's spectral body, ending their battle with a second one-hit KO for Team Skull. "HA!...I knew ya couldn't take the heat!...Stupid, weak ghost!...Why is the forest up in the sky?!...How am I supposed to burn it when it's all the way up there?!..." Even though he won and got stronger, Sizzlipede was still confused, and Shinya knew from past encounters with Silver that his last Pokemon was likely his Water type starter. "Don't worry, Sizzlipede. The forest will be back where it belongs after ya get some rest. Until then, just take a nap and think destructive thoughts." The Team Skull grunt called the Radiator Pokemon back to his Pokeball, knowing full well that this next bout was likely not one that he could win in his current state of mind.
This was especially true when Shinya finally got a look at Silver's Totodile, which wasn't a Totodile anymore at all. "Well, well, well. Looks like someone finally got their starter to evolve. Sure took ya long enough, Slugma. Actually, ya know what? I take that back. Wouldn't wanna insult any Slugmas that might be lurkin' nearby." Continuing to grin, Shinya insulted Silver yet again, exchanging Sizzlipede's Pokeball for a different one before tossing it up into the air above the battlefield. "C'mon out, Yanma! Let's add another loss to these chumps' record!" From the red and white sphere, one of Shinya's favorite Pokemon emerged, her wings already fluttering as she looked down at Silver and Croconaw before smirking at the two of them.
"Oh, look! It's the grumpy redhead and his faithful sidekick, blue boy! You two have certainly grown...uglier since the last time I saw ya! Ahahahahahahahahah!" Yanma was a shining example of a Pokemon that had learned behavior from its trainer, insulting both Silver and Croconaw, then proceeding to laugh her wings off. Metaphorically, of course. But she didn't stop there. Without even being ordered to by her trainer, the Clear Wing Pokemon fluttered her four wings faster, whipping up a strong gust that blew straight at Silver and Croconaw, covering them both in mud and slush, and completely messing up Silver's hair, causing Yanma to burst into another round of hysterical laughter. "Ahahahah! That's my girl! Now, show these chumps that we're way more than just talk, Yanma! Use Giga Drain twice! Suck that Water type dry!"
The Bug type trainer got in some chuckles of his own, really enjoying Yanma's latest comedy performance, then quickly giving the Bug/Flying type her orders while Silver and Croconaw were busy brushing themselves off. "Sure thing, boss! I'd be delighted to! Although, if blue boy's energy is anythin' like his face, it'll probably taste terrible!" After firing one more insult down at the Big Jaw Pokemon, Yanma filled her wings with Grass type energy, then sent that energy straight down at said Pokemon in the form of four glowing streams. And while that was going on, Shinya snapped a quick pic of Silver covered in mud and slush with his hair all messed up, chuckling to himself a little more afterward. "Yup. That's a keeper. Gotta send this one back home for sure." A little cliche, yes. But Shinya didn't care one bit. He was having way too much fun at Silver's expense to care.
OOC: Running Shoes used, this time for real. Yes, I will have Sizzlipede learn Bug Bite, and have him forget Wrap in its place. And finally, here's 600 more words for Shinya's Hawlucha egg. Thanks!

Silver made a rude gesture at the Team Skull grunt. "You're one to talk all that tauros-dung about family," Silver retorted defensively. His hands balled up and he grit his teeth. There was absolutely no way this chump knew anything about his home life. About what he went through. About how his father abandoned his family to— Silver shook his head. That weak, arrogant, useless man. He didn't need to waste precious brain space on him and his pitiful Team Rocket. "You're from an island in the middle of nowhere and obsessed with bugs and spout off constantly about Team Skull this, Team Skull that. You wouldn't need to recruit members to your playdate club for losers if you had real friends." Of course, that was when that yanma showed back up. His eye twitched a bit. Crocnaw growled a bit at the yanma. <You talkin' trash when you're NOT evolved yet?> Because, to be fair, between the two of them, Crocnaw was the evolved one. Even if it had been a while. This bug was still the same bug as before. Just...unfortunately sporting some unfortunate tricks. As the water-type tried to take a chunk out of the bug, his lifeforce was leeched off by that first giga drain. He staggered. A follow up drain brought him down flat. It was a battle ended as soon as it began. The yanma was higher level with a powerful move. The water-starter stood no chance. Which left Silver without any more pokemon. "Tch. Whatever. You may be a LITTLE stronger than last time, but I'm going to defeat you when we meet again. So don't cross me, loser." As Silver stormed off, the Yanma, sporting a certain shiny coin around its neck...spotted Silver's wallet. Quick on her wings, she was able to dart over and grab it. Silver spun and swiped his wallet back from the pickpocket before leaving, but not before Yanma managed to knock a sizable wad of bills to the ground. A well earned prize indeed!

It was true that Shinya knew next to nothing about Silver's background, but finding out more about the redheaded trainer wasn't Shinya's goal here at all. Rather, his goal was to hit a nerve and win not just this Pokemon battle, but also this battle of wits as well. And it seemed as though Shinya had accomplished that goal, smirking as he watched and listened to Silver's reactions to his comment about family and friends. Having gone through more than a fair share of childhood trauma himself, the Bug type trainer could at least figure that much out regarding Silver's past, as the look on his face reminded Shinya of an expression he had seen many times before. Nearly every single time he looked into a mirror growing up. One might think that Shinya would have some sympathy for his fellow damaged soul, but unfortunately for Silver, that ship had sailed. At least as far as Shinya was concerned. "Whatever's goin' down inside your head right now, I'm glad I'm not part of it. And not just because I'm pretty sure that the inside of your head is a barren wasteland. It sounds like a real hassle, and I've already been through my own hassle. Goin' through another one? No thanks. Also, side note, your little dig at my friends doesn't make any sense. I've already got all the Team Skull bros and sis' back home. I'm just tryin' to get more. Isn't there some old sayin' about how ya can never have enough friends or somethin'? The more the merrier, I think is the one. But whatever. I digress." The Alolan trainer kind of trailed off there for a moment, losing his smirk in favor of a more nonchalant facial expression. Clearly, "tact" was not a word that existed in Shinya's personal dictionary. The same was true for his one and only Clear Wing Pokemon, who drained Silver's Croconaw down to the last drop before responding to his attempt at trash talk. "Yeah, I am. And you just lost to a Pokemon that hasn't evolved yet when you already have. So, tell me. What's that say about you?" Yanma snickered after asking a rhitorical question, giving the Big Jaw Pokemon a raspberry before Silver called him back to his Pokeball. After that, both Shinya and Yanma listened to Silver's closing statement, and they both started chuckling at it almost immediately. "Not sure if ya realize this, but ya just contradicted yourself, ya idiot! How are ya gonna beat me the next time we meet if I'm not allowed to cross ya?!" Of course, the Team Skull grunt knew very well that that's not what Silver meant, but the word "cross" had several different meanings, and he just couldn't help himself, chuckling some more as Silver stormed off. At the same time, making use of her incredible speed and psychic powers, Yanma swiped Silver's wallet from right out of his pocket, smiling triumphantly as she presented it to her trainer. "He really is an idiot, isn't he, boss?! Didn't even notice that his wallet was stolen! Ahahahahahahahah!" Shinya accepted the prize from his faithful Bug/Flying type, helping himself to every last cent inside before tossing it over his shoulder and into some bushes. "Nice work, Yanma. Ya never cease to amaze and impress me, my girl." The green-haired trainer gently patted Yanma on top of her head, making her smile grow even larger, before he called her back to her Pokeball and tucked it and the money away into his bag. After that, Shinya turned around, made his way back through the bushes and trees, then grinned when he spotted his next target. "It's finally time. Hope you're ready, Bugsy. Ready to be destroyed." With Sizzlipede's training now complete, Shinya approached the Azalea Town Gym, ready, willing, and able to finally destroy the unexpecting gym leader waiting inside. OOC: And with that, 600 more words for Shinya's Hawlucha egg. And another thread comes to an end. See you all next time! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/2475952/images/AxxP4GtfdVgLAsKwdyAD.png) Updated words -Tarlar
