Cerulean City - No Rest for the Wicked...

[Ninetalesuk]

It's been 30 minutes...

30 minutes after he arrived...



He walked into an empty area, big enough for him to train... which was good because he's not too pleased...

Mainly because Paul went to get the Gym Badge of Cerulean, only to learn that it's closed due to all four girls not being there...

Two to heal their Pokemon...

One on a journey...

...and one being lazy..



There was Crimson Town, but sadly... for him... it won't be long until the tournament begins...

He'll come back here once the tournament is over...

...but, he needs to strengthen his Pokemon up first so...



"Get out of here now!!!"

(BAM! BAM!! BAM!!! BAM!!!! BAM!!!!! BAM!!!!!!)



And they were ready... all 100% healed after the trip to the Pokemon Center before Paul learned the hard way about the Gym...



He opened his Pokedex to look...

He scoffed and closed his Pokedex. "All right, you lot... I want you all to do some exercise... I want all of you to train until you feel stronger than before..."

he shot a glance at Nidorino. "You shall train until we're sure you've learned all the good moves in your current form... and then, we can evolve you into Nidoking... just make sure you don't make me regret wasting that Rare Candy on you..."



He nodded.



He shot a glare at Poochyena. "And if you want to prove yourself and want to stay in my team... then, train until you can evolve!! Understood?!"



He whimpered and nodded.



"Good... Prinplup, you lead the training... now... START!!!" He commanded.



He span around in a circle, firing off his Bubble in the air that popped...



Poochyena ran around while Starly flapped his wings like mad...



They trained by attacking a rock with the club, fists and horn...



He just stood and watch...

Remove Tackle for Double Team.



He chuckled at the results. Perfect...

Poochyena has finally learned a better move... Bite. He might use him on his journey to the ship once they're done...

And Starly just needs one more level...



He checked his bag... he has items that'll be used to save him time from going back to the Pokemon Center...

Potions.... he has 23 of them...



So, he used one each on the Pokemon...

He got back to his spot. "Keep on training!! Train until your HP reaches 1!! I want you stronger!! Unstoppable!!! Train now!!!"



And they did...

As Paul kept up with his exhausting and vigorous training, he would see a large crowd gathering around in front of the Pokemon Center. They all seem to be just chatting around, talking about their Pokemon and such. Some seemed to be talking about their Pokemon so much, it seemed like they were either selling them...

"Hmm...?" He glanced at the crowd. "Hold off the training..."



And they did... looking confused...



Annoyed too, as they wanted to evolve...



"Return..." He grunted, recalling all his Pokemon... before heading over to the crowd...

What could this be about, he wondered...

[AnT]

Why it was just a little hang out between trainers. This mostly happens when there's a lot of trainers near a Pokemon Center. Because of the tournament, many were preparing for it, either speaking with others for tips and strategies, or haggle into selling or trading Pokemon.

[Ninetalesuk]

This interests him... maybe he can trade or buy a new, stronger Pokemon...

He glanced around to see what they have...

[AnT]

One was a blue-haired ace trainer, in pig tails, waving a poke-ball around. She kept asking people if they liked to buy a Electrike for £2000.

Another was a ninja boy wandering around while asking for anyone who like to trade for a Magnemite. Seems not one wanted one, for they believe they're easy to get....if you know where to look for one in Kanto.

From the looks of the boy, he seemed, not only zen, but only prefers psychic Pokemon. So it's not sweat to wonder why he was trying to trade a Ground-type, that was Phanphy.

[Ninetalesuk]

He frowned at this... he already has a Cubone and two Geodudes... so, there is no point on getting a Phanphy...

However, the other two are holding Electric-type Pokemon...

Electrike and Magnemite...

Both sounds very interesting...

Electrike seems to be the most easist to get as you can pay to buy the Pokemon...

But, let's see how it goes with Magnemite...



"You're willing to trade your Magnemite...?" He asked with a grunt.

[AnT]

"Hai!!" the ninja kid beamed. "No offense to Magnet-kun...(that's his name)...but I need Pokemon with quick feet, and ninja skill. What do you have?"

[Ninetalesuk]

"Hmm... Quick Pokemon, huh...?" He frowned. "....Mankey?"

[AnT]

"What? You have one, senpai-san?"

[Ninetalesuk]

He nodded, pressing a button his Pokedex, transporting his Cubone away to replace it with a Mankey...

[AnT]

"Hai!!! That is perfect!!" he smiled. Holding up his poke-ball, containing the Magnemite, "So we must head inside the center to perform the trading technique with their machine, senpai-san?"

Of course, Paul wouldn't need to, with his poke-dex.

[Ninetalesuk]

"No need..." He said, pressing a few buttons on his Pokedex. "Trading activate..."
