Astrid sent Alex a puzzled look, "you have not heard people calling a Champion number one? Or given the Elite Four a number depending on whom they think is the strongest? I have seen lists of top 20 trainers, not including the Champion of course." The old woman shrugged, "I do not know. I do not know either, how it should be so hard to give a trainer a rank number, while it is so easy to give a pokemon a number to show its strength. Both are done though," she said flatly. She saw neither as necessary, but others clearly disagreed. Alex just seemed to have a hard time wrapping his head around it.
"Oooh, quick thinking," Astrid said impressed, so it had been something about with how quick the barriers had appeared, even though it had been worded differently. "That was lucky for us," the said with a wry smile, "a great coincidence that we both picked something which had the right typing, why do you think that?" She looked mischiciously at the younger trainer, expecting to answer from him unless he of course were religious and thought it was the work of some god. They of course probably had had 50% chance of hitting right, now that they had guessed it to be one of two types.
"This might be over before we know then," the old woman said quietly as she watched the two pokemon move in close. She wondered if they both would make it out unscarred but with how hard hitting and fast the pony was, it could very likely end up with one of them fainting.

"Champion, yes. Elite four with a number, no. Aren't they all the same level-- err-- same difficulty?" He asked again, trying to grasp this ranking system Astrid had begun talking about. He decided to ignore the part about ranking trainers, since it seemed equally more difficult to come to a conclusion, and it would a lot more theory than anything.
"This Pokemon is more purple than pink, and I also happened to not bring a strong poison type. So I guess I got lucky that it is a psychic type." He replied, smiling and shrugging. "And plus, aren't most fairy types more on the pink side?" He answered, and then watched both his Cacnaea and Astrid's Luxio got knocked out completely.
"You did great, Noctike!" He returned his Pokemon, exhaling. "Well, we're down to your last Pokemon, I am wishing the best for your next Pokemon to defeat it!" He turned toward her, wondering what her next Pokemon would be.

"No?" Astrid said surprised, "perhaps it is mostly kids who does it," she added thoughtfully, "I have overheard several discussions about what Elite four is the hardest, and they are often ranked by them but it is probably not official." She was quiet for a bit, it still hadn't really explained how people did assign 'levels' to their pokemon. "I can understand ranking Champions or trainers in general, compared to who can beat whom in a battle, I know some of my grandkids loved spending hours on ranking famous trainers when they were kids. Levels does not make any sense to me, ranking pokemon against each other yes, but agiainst itself? How would you assign a level to a pokemon? What makes it level 100 and not 150?" She asked rhetorically as she looked at Alex.
The old woman chuckled, "going by color is pretty risky, if fairies are purple, then what about all the poison types? Are there not also a mushroom looking pokemon who are fairy? I think I remember it looking rather poisonous." She smiled to Alex, "we did have about fifty percent chance of hitting it right, and we got lucky." She watched the pony for a bit, "had it been a fairy, Egil would have been a perfect match, but he would not stand a chance if it was psychic." She sighed as both their pokemon got knocked out, "if we are not careful we end up risking testing out if we are sent back after losing as well," she said grimly as She recalled Tordis and let out Placido.
"Shouting murkrows! How have you gotten so big?!" Placido shouted as he took in the big pokemon in front of him, "you look like you should be a toy for a kid, but you are a bit too big to be huggable!" He continued to shout with a grin, Astrid rubbed her sore ear. "Placido, we're battling it and I need you to bite it or something," the old trainer said with a hint of annoyance. The loudred gave her thumbs up and calmly walked towards the ponyta. "So it's me against Goliath here, you know how that story ends, right?" He challenged good humoredly.

Alex was basically throwing his hands in the air as he was stammered. "Well, I am glad I am not the one who was asked to assign trainers' ranking, because I don't know how to tell the difference between them." He wanted to stop the conversation of this level thing now, since this conversation was clearly going nowhere. "So," he began changing the topic. "How many gym badges do you have?" This shouldn't be too difficult of a conversational topic to switch into. "Yes, going by color is risky. Maybe I meant like, purple and pleasant looking. Obviously a purple Grimer and purple Koffing and a purple Vileplume were likely a poison type. Then, you have a sort-of purple fairy type like Granbull and Aromatisse. I am glad this one ended up as a psychic type though; this makes it easier for my bug type." He replied. Soon enough, his partner's Loudred was able to give the opponent a big mean bite to end the battle. The large and powerful Ponyta was defeated. Once they returned to the Paldea Festival, he was ready to pay for the wishing piece once again to take on yet another giant Pokemon. He get some sense of enjoyment from doing this, obviously.

Raid Team CroagunkName: Egil Gender: Male Level: 22 OT: Astrid Lindegaard Attacks: Venoshock, Rock Climb HM, Revenge, Feint Attack Ability: Dry Skin Nature/Personality: Adamant. Calculating and selfish. Egil has grown up in an environment where it was everyone for themselves, and has learned what is necessary to survive. He can act kind and helpful if he want to, but doesn't do anything for others, unless he gains something out of it himself. Happiness: +4 Other: Member/Staff of the Month September 2015 LuxioName: Tordis Gender: Female Level: 23 OT: Astrid Lindegaard Moves: Strength HM, Bite, Charge, Spark Ability: Intimidate Nature/Personality: Rash. Tordis is learning fast about the world around her and you can discuss if she has a good teacher in Egil. At first she is naive and thinks the best of everyone she meets, but it is hard to keep a positive view on the world when things keep going against what you have learned as child. Note: name means "Thor's Goddess" Happiness: +4 Item: NA LoudredName: Placido Gender: Male Level: 27 OT: Lass Sarah (NPC) Attacks: Stomp, Echoed Voice, Bite, Screech Ability: Soundproof Nature/Personality: Sassy. Placido is sarcastic and loves to joke around. As a whismur he is quiet and his comments are only heard by those close by, as he isn't making a big deal out of himself. After evolving Placido still loves to play around and tease team mates and opponents, but is now doing it much louder and isn't afraid of gaining attention. Other: NPC trade Oktober 2015 Happiness: +9 EXP: 1500/2269 Item: N/A GrowlitheName: Themis Gender: Female Level: 20 OT: Astrid Lindgaard Attacks: Bite, Roar, Flame Wheel, Close Combat EMAbility: Intimidate Nature/Personality: Serious. Themis is a trained police dog who has gotten a leg injury and after her rehabilitation got partnered with Astrid to give her a chance to continue to work but at a slower pace. She has a lot of knowledge of the work and is strict about the rules and very, very dutiful. She lives and breathes for the life of a police dog. Happiness: +2 Note: Paying for half of the Wishing Piece Just bringing an ordinary pokeball. (Tordis does not learn Roar, corrected ponyta's level and moved it to Lei's box2)
Astrid smirked, it was funny how Alex could find it easy to assign levels to pokemon but still so hard to rank human trainers. To her they were equally difficult but she too couldn't see how they could get anywhere further in their discussion of a technically not very important topic. "Uh," the old woman said and frowned and then mentally counted, "four I think," she said absentminded. It was like her age, the more she got the harder it was to remember, all the battles tended to float out and mingle with each other, making it hard for her to keep them apart. She wasn't sure how to continue that conversation, she could of course Alex the same question but to what use? He could give her a number and then it was that. "I would call granbull pink," Astrid mused, "but there is a purple vivillon, and isn't that fossil plant thing purple too?"Astrid gasped as Placido managed to take down the ponyta. This time she was ready and looped the pokeball at it before the dimension twisted around them and she gasped as they got sent back. She plopped down on her rear, dizzy and nausea, Placido dropped down nearby, just as confused as she had been first time. Then things began to rain down on her, she exclaimed surprised and did her best to cover her head as strange items, a berry and even a couple of tm's rained down on her. A pokeball fell down in her lap, still wiggling and then confirmed the capture as Astrid stared dumbfounded at it. "Where did that come from?" She asked confused as she looked up at the clear sky. It took her a bit to collect herself, and her new stuff, but soon she was ready to join Alex for yet another (unpleasant) adventure. What didn't you do make sure the world was a safe place for the innocent?

Alex was glad Astrid answered his question about badges, as that would be an easy topic to go into. "Four badges? Me too! Who was your hardest gym so far? Morty was actually my hardest since my grass and bug type are my most trained Pokemon." He casually continued, although he hadn't talked about his success and failures yet.
He listened on the topic of assigning a color majority on Pokemon. "If you mean Lileep, then yes, I have one and I would call that purple, yes. As for Vivillon, I guess we'll have to see what Pokedex assigns their colors. For Granbull, I think it's tricky because I can really see it pink at some lightings." He thought and laughed, as it was amusing to see how different people see each Pokemon differently.
At the defeat of the Ponyta, Alex shrugged and replied back. "Actually, I don't know. Maybe the Pokemon needed to release their energy when they revert back to their regular size, and the energy does something strange in these dimensions?" He had no idea where the items came from and these were way above his head, but he wouldn't mind seeing the items as reward for victorious defeat.
When they appeared in another new dimension once again, and this time they faced a rather strange looking Linoone. "Would you consider this Linoone more black or more white?"
He grabbed a Pokemon and decided to use a different kind of Pokemon this time. "Farbeez, start off with a Pollen Puff!" He was using this Pokemon in the Bug Catching Competition, and he was glad to finally have her evolved into e Ribombee. Now, he was curious what Pollen Puff actually does.

Astrid wouldn't have time to answer Alex's badge questions at first, the battle ended and they were back in Johto. When they had finished their preparations and it was time to go once again she grabbed his arm tightly, and groaned as the pull in her stomach made her dizzy and nausea. "Ugh, I hate this," she grumbled and sent Alex a dirty look, it was unfair he was so unfazed by it all. "I should probably report that as well, I wonder if it is due to age or if there is something else which are affecting me?" she mumbled as she leaned to the young trainer for support until she felt better.
"What a strange pokemon," she mused and thought it looked fast, so she needed something which was capable of keeping up mentally. Themis was called forth a moment later, the dog's ears laid down in discomfort as the last time she had been here hadn't been very pleasant. She wanted to get this over with quickly.
"I.. I am not sure which one of your questions to answer first," Astrid admitted and was thoughtful for a moment as she went through the topics. "It is a good suggestion that it might be the same thing that makes them big, the question is just what is happening when the challengers lose the battle?" she theorized out loud without having any answer. She shook her head and turned her mind to other things, "As for gym battles, they tend to be a bit fuzzy to me, there has been so many battles both gym leaders and others so it is hard for me to remember," the old woman apologized, it wasn't like she had something written down about them, which she could go back and read up on. "I think Whitney gave my team the most challenge," she added after a bit of hesitation. "What did you do to turn that challenge with Morty to a victory?" She asked politely, expecting Alex to be proud of his achievement and hard work, and wanting to share it.
In the end she would find time to look closer at the black and white linoone, "is this the question about if it is white with black spots, or black with white spots?" she asked with a wry smile.

With the combination of their attacks, the Linoone was quickly brought to its barrier stage once again. "Heh, this was fast." Alex mused himself. However, their opponent was relentless as it first sharpened its claw menacingly, and then hurled a ball of dark energy orb toward the Growlithe.
He didn't say anything abut Astrid's memory problem, but merely observed how she took notes and bemoaned about it. "Heh, it's okay if you don't remember. You must have a lot of battles throughout the year." He nervously replied. When she mentioned Whitney, he let out a chuckle. "Everybody seemed to have a rough time with her too!"
"Hmm, for my Ecruteak City gym battle, if you know how I mostly use grass and bug types, Morty gave me a little challenge with the tricks up his sleeves." He mused, trying to reminiscent his most recent gym victory. "My Dustox didn't do well against his Gastly, and my Lilligant didn't do well against the Gengar either. I was surprised my Ariados's Shadow Sneak was able to help me land the victory." He looked into the empty space, thinking about how the event went down.
He chuckled at Astrid's response about this Linoone. "Something like that, but either way, it looked like we're doing great at guessing it's type again. The barrier went up again. Farbeez, use Fairy Wind!" He called out his next move, as he didn't see the need to use a strong move on a barrier.

"It clearly does not like fighting or bug type moves," Astrid agreed as they were well back and the battle had started. He of course hadn't answered her comment about how unaffected he was, what should he say to it? It would be a thing to note down for the ones who looked at the data she collected. "That means we are going to get pulled out again soon," she said with a weary sigh, and held a hand to her still upset stomach. She wanted to get this done quickly, but also would have liked that she wasn't so affected during the transport and wouldn't mind a bit more time in between.
"I guess I have yes, although I did start late so you probably have been at the same amount," the old woman said and shrugged, "your memory is not going to be so good when you have my age, a lot of things quickly look like things you have seen before and then it is hard to keep them apart." She looked at Alex with a smile, "I will assume you cannot remember each and single battle you have had since you started and until today?" She smiled warmly and nodded, "Whitney has certainly gotten herself a reputation, I do wonder though if some of it is that trainers underestimate her first time they face her," she mused.
"But you did manage to turn it around! Did you not?" Astrid said encouragingly and gave Alex a nudge with her elbow. "So how did you do it? Was it your ariados who were the star player and brought home the win? Ariados' are great pokemon, my Helen is one of the best I have for the police work, her and Themis out there," she nodded towards the growlithe.
Themis whined when the energies hit her and threw her back, she staggered to her feet and growled angrily. To her surprise the usual weakness she felt in her bones after having used the close combat got removed when the barriers went up, she still felt bruised and battered of course, but she was feeling different than usual. The bug which was on her side sent a glittering wind at the dark type and she engulfed herself in flames in an attempt to protect herself and she rushed at the linoon.

Alex wasn't surprised that the Linoone took out one of their Pokemon already. He was already used to this giant Pokemon thing, and how fast they moved, how hard they could hit, and how weak in comparison their Pokemon would be. However, one thing for certain, he still kept his eyes on the victory, as he was treating these challenges like a really tough gym battle.
He nodded at Astrid's statement on memory and similar events blending into the same idea. "Haha. I understand that thought. I definitely don't remember studying day in and day out, or the difference between fighting the third Sentret and the fifth Rattata." He might have exaggerated a bit, but he was giving an example of repeated activities becoming mundane overtime and loses their memorable excitement.
"Hmm. I don't know. Interestingly, my Ariados was a Spinarak when she faced Whitney too! She was basically screaming and scared of my bug. I would have to say, Spiden's Shadow Sneak and Night Shade aren't to be underestimated either! i am sure you know how Shadow Sneak works since you have an Ariados too. Maybe they could meet one day!" He turned toward the Linoone briefly. "Just not with these other dimension Pokemon. They might get beaten1" He laughed.
"Your Growlithe did great! We're almost there at cracking the barrier. Farbeez, use Fairy Wind again!" He ordered his next move. The bug buzzed and fluttered around before summoning a strange breeze at the opponent.
