Her head tilted to the side as she heard him mention eggs. Plural? She shot her eyes up and down at him, "Eggs? You have multiple? Are you some kind of breeder, Mr...how rude of me. I forgot to introduce myself," she noted, holding her hand out to him to shake, "My name is Aegwynn. My Clauncher Humar is quite the pokemon. I have to ask, what is inside of these eggs?" she queried, her curious little mind racing as she tried to determine if this is really what she wanted to do.

"See, he gets it." Marie says, uncrossing and then crossing her legs again and reclines against her backpack. "I'm tired, you battle em."

The boy rolls his eyes and stands up. "I'm Bryce, and if you beat Pewter's Gym, I wouldn't sweat the Cerulean Challenge." He says with a sour expression. "I'm still up for a doubles if you want." he offers as he circles the center towards the dirt court.

"You from Cerulean? Or have you already challenged the gym?" He asks, curiosity tinging his voice.

"Yeah, sounds good. You gonna be alright though? It'd be a two on one if your friend doesn't want to join in but that does mean you get to use four pokemon."

Tyson takes another look at the redhead before waving goodbye to her. "Later lumberlady!" His Pikachu emulates the gesture.

Slight Time Warping

As Ken receives the ball from the kid, he scans it. "That's a pretty cool one, I'll take good care of her. Thank you!" He waves as he goes to wait for Aegwynn to finish her negotiations. In his mind he was considering who all would make up his team for the gym battle. In fact, he realized he hadn't let Zippo wander around on his shoulder today.

He took the bright crimson ball off his belt and called out his partner Pokemon, picking him up and placing him on his usual perch. "Sorry about that buddy, it's been go go go today for the most part. You ready to train up some and hit the gym with all we got?" Zippo chirped in response, it sounded happy like a positive response. "Tell you what, we'll take them on tomorrow after we take on a battle or two in town. You'll get to see Gin in action. Possibly Cicero too, though we gotta see how Midoriya works out." He was lost in thought. It was weird, he didn't usually feel the fire shrew's weight on his shoulder. "You're starting to get pretty big and strong eh buddy? Let's introduce you to the newest team member here when she gets back.

The pair wait patiently off to the side.

"When I was walking back from the shop to the Pokemon Center it took me almost an hour. It way too late to start walking there now. It's probably closed anyway. Let's sleep in a real bed for the first time this week and do all that stuff tomorrow," Cassandra says as they walk into town.

As they enter the Center, Cassandra heads straight back into the hostel area. Her team was at full health, so she had no need to drop them off at the nurses' station. She sets her backpack down beside one of the beds and takes a long, hot shower. Her head hits the pillow, and she's asleep.


The next day

A ray of sunshine hits Cassandra's face and wakes her. The sun was already up?! "So much for temple training," she sighs to herself. "I guess I slept really well." She lays in bed a few moments longer before gets up to start her day.

After breakfast and morning training for her team, Cassandra will start heading for the Occultwerks.

Aegwynn gave a quick nod as she listened to his story. She shifted from side to side on her feet, a tad bit indecisive, “I’ll think about it, sir. At the moment, I think I’ll hold onto my Clauncher, but if I change my mind, I imagine I can find you here?” She thought a bit more after asking her question, “Though I suppose that’s entirely reliant on you having eggs still. Still, I need some time to think it over.” she told him before wandering off to find one more person to barter with.

Aegwynn makes a bee-line over to the lovely young lady in the sun dress, making this her last stop until she feels that perhaps that the trading post might not be quite what she’s looking for. She introduces herself to the woman, “Hey there, I’m here to trade a few Pokémon. If any of them interest, you, let me know!” She presented her Pokémon after her jovial greeting, showing off all four of them.

As Ken watched Aegwynn walk between the trainers at the post, he remembered he really needed the extra training. He approached his companion as she was between other traders, taking care not to interrupt a current negotiation.

“Hey Aegwynn, I’m going to go ahead on to the Center and switch my roster then head to the courts. Any updates on our poster?” He would make note of the time and listen to her response, noting where to go if she mentioned when and where. “See you at the courts!” He and Zippo waved as they walked back towards the Pokémon Center, keeping an eye open for any wild Pokémon they might see.

As they approached the Center, Ken recalled Zippo. “It’s only for a couple minutes buddy, just the rules of the place.” As he clipped the crimson ball back on his belt he got in the queue for the storage system. He traded in the Zigzagoon for Aibi, and Cicero for Midoriya. As he exited he called Zippo back out to his shoulder and looked again for wild Pokémon as he made his way to the courts. While he knew most would want to wager, he was in this for the battle experience.

Thank you though for showing it to me! It’s a very neat Pokémon!”

She kept wandering through the trading post, nibbling on her lower lip before making her way finally over to the gentlemen in the brown track suit.

"Looks like we have a good number to choose from, eh buddy?" Zippo chirped in his ear.

Ken thought about the kid and how nervous they probably were. He was pretty nervous his first time around the courts too when he was younger. "Hey Zippo, let's help the kid with his nerves a bit. We can take on someone else right after." Zippo looked at the kid and chirped a bit. As Ken walked up he smiled. "Hey how's it going? You here to watch everyone or get in some practice early on?

She once again made her offer to them, showing them the lobster, the bouncy swine, the scrappy fighter, and the metal ant, hoping that one of them would pique their interest.

For the sake of moving Aegwynn along...

After wrapping up any negotiations she had going on at the trading post, she would meander her way back to the Pokemon Center, checking her watch as she arrived. There, she would finalize her team, the six she had trained this morning. She spent some time working with them all, using her skills as a Mentor to get them ready for any challenges she may have ahead of her. She really spent the most time with Elding, working on a new technique with him, the little thunda-bug chittering delightfully with all the attention it seemed to be getting!

Aegwynn used Mentor to have Elding spend 1TP to learn Electroweb!

She nodded softly as she felt like she had a few winners. The courts seem like a good idea, that's where Ken had gone after all. But the allure of the Gym seemed to make an itch in the back of her mind that she felt like the courts just couldn't scratch. Teeth sank into bottom lip before she checked her watch again, knowing she needed to be back here at 4:30 to complete the job with the Heavy Ball. If she had the time, she would make her way to the Gym, 'I think it's time to see what I'm made of...' she thought as she plodded her way to the Pokemon League establishment.

Pokemon and trainers are working with weights, sparring with each other, and attacking punching bags and dummy targets all around. Almost all of the trainers are wearing martial artist gi's. There is a receptionist... sort of. A large, burly, lantern jawed, fellow with a toothpick hanging out of his mouth sits behind the front desk.

He hits a big yellow and black striped button on the wall as he walks from the reception area to the main floor. Red flashing lights descend from the ceiling and a klaxon blares. anyone working in the middle of the gym quickly moves out to the sides. A section of the floor opens up and moves apart, a platform rising up from beneath the gym. The platform has what looks like a boxing ring on it.

After the platform locks into place, Coach Mountain leads you to the ring and takes up a hammer and strikes at a bell three times.


A decrepit, bald old man with a snowy white beard that hangs to his chest, wearing dark glasses, a seaside shirt, green shorts, and sandals, walking with the aid of a staff appears from deeper within the gym. He limps over to your side of the ring and bows to you, his back cracks loudly. “so…” he says with a scratchy voice. “You thought you could just waltz in here and fight me eh?

Perhaps...she had only fought wild pokemon since leaving Pallet. Was she a fool for choosing the Gym Leader as her first foray into Pokemon Battles? Only time could answer such a question...
