"I choose you, Luxio!"
Brooke bit back a laugh when the punk gave the most priceless expression when he saw the electric type sent out. "You won't win so easily!" He bellowed and pointed frantically at Luxio, "Murkrow, use wing attack!" A silly and brash decision and the look on Brooke's face gave that away; she was no good as a referee, she took sides! Even Ampharos, standing at Brooke's side, was seemingly rooting for its fellow electric type.
The Murkrow looked briefly back at his trainer, slightly confused at such an odd order but it shrugged its feathery shoulders and complied, jumping up into the air and stretching its wings and summoned a great wind with a flap of the wings to allow it to zoom up into the air. Once at a peak, Murkrow would begin the sudden descent towards Luxio; going to weave around the thunderbolt that shot around it.
You can do it. Brooke thought, then saw as a mysterious man and a Gallade appeared on a roof nearby. Interesting. She shook her head, turning back to focus on this battle, she knew it wouldn't last much longer.

"You won't win so easily!"
Seth smirked at the opponent's comment, and as Murkrow began to whip up a Wing Attack. Seth had prepared for this.
The Thunderbolt shot around Murkrow, making it difficult to see. Seth yelled out "Thunder Wave Luxio!"
In the midst of the lightning around Murkrow a huge wave of electricity struck it perfectly, though one could have easily missed it. Immediately following the wave Luxio jumped.
"Thunder Fang!"

"Wow...using the Thunderbolt to blind his opponent, he then used Thunder Wave to paralyze it..." whispered Ignus as Seth commanded Luxio to attack with Thunder Fang.
"And now...here comes the finishing blow...heh, game over for you, punk..."

"Thunder Wave Luxio!"
"No!"
Murkrow cawed in disbelief as Luxio's Thunder Wave Struck true, the black bird pokemon's wings froze up and Murkrow's descent sped up until it crashed into the ground. Once there, Luxio had lept forward and finished the deed with a vicious Thunder Fang, Murkrow crying out. The punk threw his hands up into the air and back over his head, clinging the strands on the back of his neck in disbelief. His eyes were wide with shock.
"Murkrow is unable to battle. Luxio wins!" Brooke declared, her arm then directed to Seth, "That's two nil, Seth wins the match!" Ampharos instantly charged over to Luxio once the match was declared over and waved its arms around as if to congratulate it. Brooke approached the punk trainer as he returned his Murkrow to its ball, "What did I do wrong doc?" He sighed, Brooke placed a hand on his shoulder.
"You're a tough trainer, but you've been on this island for almost your whole life. You don't have any badges and I know you don't venture far out into the wilds... You have an amazing bond with your pokemon but you aren't strong enough yet, you need to get out there and get grinding to make you and your pokemon stronger. Also, you challenged a trainer right above your cut, Seth there already has seven Johto badges." The punk looked up at her in disbelief, "Really?" Brooke nodded, then left the Punk with his thoughts.
A few moments later, he would approach Seth, looking rather abashed, "Hey uhm. Thanks for the battle. When I get stronger I wanna rematch, aight?" It sounded more like a demand than a question, but before anything could be said on Seth's part the punk had left, gone back to the centre to heal his Arbok and Murkrow.
Brooke returned to the group, "Nice one guys, Seth you're a really good trainer! I know you'll take on Clair easily." She grinned, then clapped her hands together, "Now, it's getting late. Shall we regroup in the morning at the lab? Lorna, Steve I know you two will be coming with me to go to the Flygon. Seth, will you be joining us? What about you Jack?" She asked the two younger boys, they would both be safe with the three of them.

Ignus watched as the young trainer named Seth was declared the winner of the match. Sighing, he absentmindedly scratched the back of his head, his Gallade Garet giving him that look of expectation. "Not yet, Garet," he replied, making the Gallade droop in disappointment.
"Look, I know I said that we would fight whoever won, but from the looks of it..." He watched as Professor Brooke talked with the punk about why he lost, then looked at Seth, and sighed again. "That Seth kid...he's a lot tougher than I thought. I overestimated his abilities. Seems as though he knows how to fight according to what his opponent has...when we do fight him, it might be interesting." At those words, Garet perked back up, sharpening his tonfa-like arms, and was about to cry out when Ignus raised a finger, silencing him. "Garet, I think it would be best to introduce ourselves to them in the morning." he said as he watched the four converse.
"But don't worry, Garet," he replied as his Gallade helped him down from the rooftop away from them, "Rest assured, you and everyone else in our team will get a chance to fight. I promise." Gallade replied excitedly, and Ignus had him return to his Pokeball with the same flash of red light. Then, after returning the Pokeball with the others on his sash, Ignus walked off towards the Pokemon lab, a grin on his face.
"But first...I think it would be best to introduce myself to the Pokemon Professor first..."

Murkrow went down, and Seth smiled at the victory.
Luxio also was pleased, mainly because it had immediately hit it off with a new friend- Luxio jumped around Amphy while it waved its arms happily.
"Hey, Luxio made a friend," he said mainly to himself. Just then the opposing trainer approached him.
"Hey uhm. Thanks for the battle. When I get stronger I wanna rematch, aight?"
Seth was about to respond but the trainer turned away too quickly. The Johto trainer smiled after the kid, he knew he would make a good opponent someday.
Brooke then approached him, congratulating him on his victory. He blushed slightly, he had never been complimented by a Champion before. "Thanks," he said bashfully.
When offered to tag along for the Flygon journey, he nodded right away. "I'd be more than happy to help!" he said, thinking about working with the Ranger made him even more eager.
He saw a man slip away, but could not get a good look. He shrugged it off. "Hey, um Professor? If it's alright to ask, would it be okay if I stayed with you for the night? I mean, I could take the floor somewhere, it's just that my tent flew off during my flight here and I am without shelter," he admitted, embarrassed. "I still have a sleeping bag, just no roof."

Again Lorna let out a joyful whoops at Seth's victory and as a result nearly fell off her pokemon's back. Typhlosion caught his trainer with something akin to a sigh as he set her back down onto the ground, his flaming collar springing back to life. "Thanks buddy." she said petting her pokemon's coarse fur affectionately. The Johto veteran slung on arm around Seth's shoulders. "Well done!"
She nodded her agreement to Brooke's plan. "Sounds good. Once Dragonite's healed I'll fly back to my camp for the night to get the rest of my gear and meet you back here in the morning. I've got some specialized equipment that could proove useful."

"I'd be more than happy to help!... "Hey, um Professor? If it's alright to ask, would it be okay if I stayed with you for the night? I mean, I could take the floor somewhere, it's just that my tent flew off during my flight here and I am without shelter, I still have a sleeping bag, just no roof." Brooke chuckled and nodded, "Not a problem Seth. You can take the couch for the night and we'll sort you out a place to stay in town, I have a feeling there's a lodge just outside of town that can have you; but I don't go that way often - I usually fly to my destinations. Anyway, yes, feel free to come back with me; I need to go back to the lab and get my thinks and pack up; we'll leave now." She gave a wave to Lorna and Jack, "We'll see you chaps here in the morning!" She grinned, then turned to head back towards the lab. (We'll do a quick intro with Seth, Brooke and Ignus at the lab, then we'll jump straight to the next day )
