Tobias sat cross legged in the long grass, his eyes shut as he attempted to clear his mind, his Alakazam doing the same next to him. When Tobias had lived in Kanto he met the psychic gym leader Sabrina who could communicate telepathically with her pokemon. She had shown him the technique to it but he was still having trouble with it. 'Alakazam... Use psychic...' He thought, opening his eyes to see if Alakazam had got the message.
Nothing.
Tobias sighed smiling to Alakazam and placing his hand on its shoulder. "Never mind ey mate, we will get it one day." He said tapping its shoulder in comfort.
"KAZAM" Alakazam replied smiling and stand up, an impressive 6'4", slightly taller than Tobias himself. Tobias reached to his belt and took out a pokeball holding it at Alakazam, "Have a good rest." He said returning the Psychic pokemon to its pokeball. Tobias then removed another pokeball from his belt as he attached the first.
"Go Pikachu!" He said as he threw the ball into the air releasing his Pikachu. "Ok little buddy" Tobias said picking up the young Pikachu, "We need to get some training under our belts." He said smiling as he looked into Pikachu's eyes.
"PIKA PIKA" Pikachu cried smiling and twitching his ears, his cheeks sparking slightly in excitment.

"Ah-choo!" The young trainer sneezed, wiping her nose with a delicate little handkerchief, "Augh! All this silly pollen is really getting to me! I took all my hayfever pills and I'm still sneezing and spluttering like a Stantler with a cold!" She huffed, prowling along at her side was the sleek looking Vulpix who was nodding at her trainer's every word as if she were listening. The pair were tramping through the grass plains, Evie still blowing her nose on her more than ruined hankie by now. "This is disgusting!" She howled, shoving the soiled piece of cloth into her bag and pulling out a pack of tissues instead. Her eyes were puffy and red, why had she come out here again? Oh yes! The plains were supposed to be a fantastic place to train because it was so open and spacious.
Not before long she heard the cry of a man and a Pikachu, she froze for a moment then shook her head. Of course other people would be out here, don't get paranoid you silly bum. She told herself as she strode onwards, dabbing at her nose as she went. Evie felt the squeeze of static around her, the other trainer was clearly out here to train too! But no sign of an attack yet. Evie smirked at Vulpix, who gave her her own sly smile. "Let's show them what we're made of hm?" Vulpix barked in concurrence.
Vulpix bolted several feet forward, "Okay Vulpix, let's throw off our signature move. Let's get a Fire Spin going!" The Vulpix complied, a tornado of flame being shot into the air, "now, use Energy Ball!" Almost as if she had anticipated it, Vulpix had already started to charge the green orb which was flung at great speed into the middle of the flaming tornado. Finally, with a flourish of her wrist Evie laughed, "Finish it up with Faint Attack!" Vulpix ran forward and vanished briefly, reappearing up where she had jumped right into the inferno. Vulpix used a smaller Energy Ball and threw it straight into the existing Energy Ball, when she fell to the ground the Balls collided and created a massive explosion within the Fire Spin; creating a huge but beautiful flame encircled orb of green and light white - shining beautifully over the whole field.
"That's it! Beautiful!" Evie laughed as Vulpix jumped into her arms for a hug.

Tobias turned on his heals placing Pikachu on his shoulder as he heard a loud explosion, smoke swirling up from the grass only a few meters away. "Interesting..." He muttered before walking towards the smoke plume. As he pushed into an opening in the grass he saw a young woman and a vulpix, the woman laughing and cuddling the small fire pokemon.
"Such a big explosion from such a little pokemon." Tobias laughed as he walked closer to the two, holding out his hand to the woman as Pikachu jumped from his shoulder to the top of his head, little sparks emitting from his cheeks.

"Such a big explosion from such a little Pokémon."
The man said as he approached, the Pikachu perched on top of his head making Evie giggle. She placed the Vulpix back on the ground and straightened up to take his hand and give it a delicate shake, ”Nice to meet you! My name is Evie, I’m a Pokémon Coordinator. I couldn’t help but notice that someone else was around so I thought I’d catch your attention!” She laughed, Evie had only just arrived in Kansai, she didn’t realise that before her was one of the formidable gym leaders of the island. Evie continued, ”Are you a trainer? D’you wanna team up and do some training?” She asked, her eyes scrunched up as she beamed at him. Vulpix was sniffing at Tobias’ feet, sussing him out as she gazed up at him.

Tobias smiled as she shook his hand, his Pikachu jumping from his head and moving to the Vulpix, holding out its paw, imitating its trainers greeting. "The pleasure is all mine Evie." He said, noting that she did not know him, she must be new to the region. "The names Tobias." He said as he looked down Evie's Vulpix before chuckling and bending down to its level. "Hello there." He beamed reaching into his pouch and pulling out a pink Pokeblock, holding it out to the little fire Pokemon. He smiled again as Vulpix ate the Pokeblock, running his hand through its red fur. Tobias looked back up to Evie before slowly standing once more. "Yes Im a trainer." He said moving his open jacket so that Evie could see the six Pokeballs that hung from his belt. "And I would be happy to train with you." Tobias paused for a moment as he thought. "What Pokemon do you have in your party?" He asked smiling sweetly to her.

Vulpix loved the pokeblock that Tobias had given her, she sat back on her haunches licking her jaws happily once she was finished, ”Oh! That was really kind of you, I think Vulpix must have been a bit hungrier than I thought. Silly thing, you only just had lunch!” She chuckled, then grinned at the tall man, ”Tobias.” She said with a nod, as if committing it to memory.
Evie’s eyes lit up when he agreed to train with her, ”Really? That’s great! Thank you so much!” She fumbled for a moment when he asked what Pokémon she had with her, ”Here, I’ll show you!” She laughed and one by one released five more Pokémon from their Pokéballs.
A sly looking Servine appeared first and seemed content with the landscape his trainer had chosen for practice, it looked up at Tobias and bowed; such a suave little Pokémon! Second came a large, vicious looking Serviper that slithered happily around the two trainers, careful not to accidentally crush Vulpix and Servine. Next was Milotic, who lay happily on the ground and smiled at the Pikachu on Tobias’ head. After that it was Gligar, who zoomed around the field at break neck speed, finally, it was Purrlion; the sleek and sly looking cat Pokémon that meowed loudly and sat between Evie’s feet.
”That’s all of them.” She giggled, ”And you?”

Tobias smiled running a hand through his hair and inspecting the Pokemon. She seemed to have a thing for snake Pokemon. Tobias smiled as he reached to his belt and threw the 5 Pokeballs into the air winking to Evelyn as his Pokemon burst from their balls. First came his Joltion sparks flyng from its fur as it stretched its front legs. Next came a large Electabuzz, a good foot taller than a normal Electabuzz that let out a cry. The third Pokemon was a Snorlax that was sound asleep followed by an Alakazam and finally a Flygon.
Tobias chuckled as he ran his hand threw his hair again. "Say hello everyone." He said gently to his Pokemon. He then looked up to Evie, wanting to see what her reaction would be.

She loved her snakes! They were brilliant, the only problem was that they didn’t cover enough elements; which was why she had her Purrlion, Vulpix and Gligar. Though she loved them too very much! Evie loved all of her Pokémon. She watched in awe as Tobias unleashed his Pokémon, ”Wow! Your Pokémon are amazing.” She could tell they were strong, especially that Electabuzz! She wondered if Tobias was going to evolve it into an Electivire, she then saw the Flygon and gasped, ”A Flygon! I heard on the news the wild Flygon and Vibrava were having trouble recently...” More of a comment to herself than it was to Tobias, she liked to think aloud sometimes!
She clapped her hands together, ”We better start training then!” Evie giggled, ”D’you wanna do a battle? Like, just to warm up?”

Tobias nodded and withdrew his Pokemon, walking away from Evie then turning on his heels so there was enough distance between them for the battle. "To make it fair, you may pick which Pokemon I use. Each trainer may use 3 Pokemon, first to knock out all opposing Pokemon is the winner." Tobias said, going into Gym Leader mode. When Tobias battled everything about him changed, the way he spoke his demeanour, even his posture. "I must say it is a pleasure to have met you Evie and I cannot wait to see how you battle." He added, smiling to her, his eyes locking into hers.

Evie didn’t withdraw her Pokémon, simply because she wanted them to watch and learn from each other. She eyed the group and smiled, trying to work out who to use first; she was shocked when Tobias said she should pick his Pokémon for him. Eyes wide she stumbled for her words for a moment, finally managing to find them a few seconds later, ”Well, if you’re sure?” She said nervously, and then ran through his Pokémon again in her mind. He preferred Electric types, so using her Gligar would be a no brainer, the same went for Servine; being Grass type made it resistant. Her third… Vulpix.
Satisfied she at least had her own Pokémon sorted, she would try and give Tobias a fair game, ”Pikachu, Jolteon and Flygon?” She asked, hoping that that would be good enough for him. He seemed like an awfully confident trainer. Who was this guy exactly…? He seemed so trusting to allow her pick his team for him. Evie couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious, ”Shall we begin then?”

Tobias nodded grinning as he threw a pokeball into the air. His Pikachu erupting from the ball in a blast of red energy. "Get ready Pikachu," Tobias said looking down to his Pokemon, "This is your first trainer battle, they are not like battling wild Pokemon." He added. He looked at the other trainer smiling, trying to work out which of her pokemon she would battle with. Gligar would be an obvious choice because of how many of his electric types she had picked, probably Servine as well leaving the third that he could not work out. "Your move..." He said, still grinning to Evie. She probably wouldn't use Milotic, not with this many electric types in his party, that left Purloin, Vulpix and Serviper. Tobias had a habit of trying to judge battles before they started, this is partly why he was such a powerful trainer.

This was the first trainer battle Pikachu had been in? How sweet! Evie would go easy on the little yellow mouse, not wanting to scare it. Evie clicked her fingers and grinned at Gligar who had settled on top of her Serviper’s head, ”I choose you Gligar!” The bat Pokémon cried out happily and zoomed over to hover in front of Evie as she stepped back to allow more battling space.
"Your move..."
Evie giggled, then thrust her had forward to order the first attack, ”Gligar! Get in the air and do some Acrobatics!” She cried out, this was where Tobias would know she was used to her contest battles; showing off and ensnaring the opponent to allow a surprise attack. Gligar did complicated flips and tricks in the air, trying to draw all focus on those moves, ”Now! Use X-Scissor!” She called out, the Gligar stopped and dive bombed downwards; straight towards Pikachu with it’s claws, which were now glowing white, held wide for the incoming attack.

Tobias watched the Gligar as it moved in the air, faster than he had expected, Evie had trained this pokemon well. 'Ground type... Cant use electric moves... Shit... Leaves only two moves...' Tobias thought as Evie issued the attack. "Double Team..." Tobias said smiling as Pikachu cried out, creating copies of itself in a row, the Gligar flying through a fake one that disappeared as it was hit. Tobias grinned as the Pikachu's surrounded the Gligar. "Quick attack..." Tobias said all the Pikachu's springing off their back legs moving into the attack.

Double Team, "Drat!" Evie hissed, Gligar was left dazed amongst a field of clones; it was a tactic Evie used herself with her Servine, she should have seen it coming. Suddenly, the real Pikachu jumped out to attack, Evie gasped, ”Dodge it with Rock Polish!” Evie cried out desperately, Gligar stretched its wings wide as it screeched; but it was too fast, Pikachu hit Gligar dead on and caused it to fly backwards into the ground.
“Come on Gligar you can do it!” Evie encouraged, and after shaking its head Gligar jumped back into the air, “Alright! Use Stone Edge!” Evie ordered, now that Gligar’s Rock Polish was activated it moved several times faster than before, its body gleaming in the sunlight as it darted towards Pikachu. Once close enough, two rings of glowing, sharp stones appeared around its body; after that, at great speed, Gligar began to throw each razor edged stone Pikachu’s way.

Tobias grinned as Pikachu's attack hit home. But gligar was quick to recover, now moving faster than before. "Retaliate with thunder shock." Tobias said. He knew that the move would not harm Gligar, buy it might just stop that attack. Pikachu cried out again as he let loose bolts of electricity, shocking the stones in an attempt to stop them, causing a few to stop but most broke threw, Pikachu's attacks just weren't strong enough yet. Gligars attack struck Pikachu, causing him to fly backwards and hit the ground hard. Pikachu tried to stand but had become too weak. "Its ok Pikachu, return." Tobias said holding out his pokeball, withdrawing the tired electric pokemon. "You fought bravely, have a good rest." He said to the pokeball before placing it on his belt.
"Good work Gligar, I hope you saved some energy for this one." Tobias said to Evie's pokemon smiling as he threw another pokeball into the air. Flygon burst from the ball stretching its huge diamond shaped wings. "This is where I get serious Evie." Tobias called over to the other trainer with a wink. "Will you grant me the same courtesy?" He added chuckling.
