Tabi Port; The beginning of a grand adventure...

Tabi Port has obviously modernised recently. Small cottages and equally-small shops are dwarfed by the new constructions; the Tabi Hotel, and the nearby Pokemon Centre.

Occupying what clearly is usually the village green is a large marquee, a large banner attached to the top reading 'Honi's First League Trainers, departing at 10am!' A big, bulky man stands outside the entrance to the marquee, checking IDs and only permitting the prospective trainers in; kids of various ages are emerging from the hotel at irregular intervals and being allowed in, often watched by tearful friends and family.

The mood is overall quite festive, with all manner of souvenirs being hawked by the entrepenurial villagers. It is now 9:50, and the last boat expected to arrive has just pulled into the docks, bringing with it the last few soon-to-be Trainers, who are now disembarking onto dry land.

You are all amongst these Trainers. What do you do now?

"Well, Father is personal friends with the League inspector who signed off on this place, you know. I've been to dinner at his house, as it happens." Douglas gives another irritating smirk - it seems that that's something of his trademark. "It's amazing how nice people can be sometimes." From a pocket of his suit jacket, he pulls out a piece of paper stamped with the League's symbol and waves it at the four of you before putting it away again before any of you have a chance to read it. "So no, the Professor does not know, but even if she did there's nothing she can do about it. Feel free to go crying to her if you want, of course - I'd certainly come along to watch - but otherwise, shall we get started?"

He tosses the Ultra Ball up in the air, producing a Litwick, who floats down to about head height and looks across the group. It is joined a few moments later by a Bellsprout (from the very tall, thin girl), a Poliwag (from the frizzy-haired girl) and an Abra (from the backpack boy.)

Jeremy rolls his eyes while Stanton is on his spiel about how he's in with the league inspector. "So are you just, like, a card-carrying douchebag? Cos I feel like you must know how much of a prick you are, and I get the feeling you take pride in it." He says when Stanton wraps up.

As the other group summon their Pokémon, Jeremy notes that the Poliwag is the greatest threat to his Houndour so he side-steps to a couple meters on the other side of Isabella so that he's face-to-face with the Abra. He beckons Ellis to him and readies for the battle.

Sibyl sighs and places a hand against her forehead in exasperation. What an idiot. But she thinks that there's been quite enough chatter already, time to take this twit and his crew down!

Sibyl moves opposite Frizzy Hair and her Poliwag and lets go of Miriam there, with a muttered, "Alright, show me what you can do."

Abbey blinks when she notes the flash of nervousness across the boastful boy's face. Maybe the professor isn't the only one that doesn't know about what he's doing? Then again, Abbey was in a very similar boat in that regard.

Glancing among the available opponents, she shakes her head slightly. The Litwick was about the worst possible match-up for Rana, so stepping up to it would just be suicide. Instead, she lines herself up with the taller girl and ushers Rana out ahead of her. "It's our first battle Rana. Stay focused and let's show them even shy girls like us can fight too!"

Turning to face her opponent, she gives a respectful bow and introduces herself haltingly. "Um... My name's Abigail Padma. I hope we have a good battle. Good luck!"

The tall girl's Bellsprout might give her an easy win, but Isabella's already picked her opponent, and she's also already staring down Stanton anyway. When she notices his reaction to Sybil calling his name, she smirks a little.

"What, did you not want anybody to recognize you? Douglas Stanton... huh. I think I liked andouille better." The name still means nothing to her, but that doesn't matter. "Here, I'll return the favor. My name is Isabella Celandine, and I don't need to see the future to know you're going down. Front and center, Chouette! Time for our new friend to learn that cheaters never prosper!"

She beckons to Chouette to get into position as she shoots a challenging smirk in Douglas's direction.

Stanton narrows his eyes at Isabella. "I'm not going to expect you to understand anything about me. Gabriel, ensure you don't miss that owl," he adds to the Litwick.

"Hmm," the tall girl says calmly, in response to Abbey's polite greeting. Abbey gets something of a better response from the frizzy-haired girl, who gives another quick clap.

"Oh, and good luck to you too!"

The backpack-wearing boy, meanwhile, looks up from his Pokedex - finally - and seems almost surprised to find himself in a battle. "Er...quick, Whisper! Knock down that Houndour!" Unfortunately, it rather seemed that his Abra had fallen asleep.

Sibyl hears Isabella talk about Douglas not wanting people to know who he is, and only looks back briefly in confusion before refocusing on the battle.

“Miriam, move up a bit and Psywave the Poliwag!”, she orders, not wanting to move too far in at this moment.

Miriam lets out a wavy blast of multicoloured psychic energy, which doesn't seem to do anything in particular, but at least looks very colourful. She looks rather pleased with herself.

"Ooh, that was pretty!" applauds the frizzy-haired girl. "We can do pretty things too! Mr Squiggle - that's your name, by the way," she adds hastily to her Poliwag, "do the pretty thing!" The Poliwag obliges with a series of equally-multicoloured circles, which seem to have just as little effect as Miriam's own attack, but the frizzy-haired girl nonetheless claps. "Yay!"

Isabella looks more than a bit askance at the frizzy-haired girl apparently being more interested in the visual effect of moves than whether they actually connect. Which not much seems to have done, so far. Time to see if they can change that.

She points at the Litwick dramatically.

"Okay, Chouette! Move in and use your Hypnosis!"

The Litwick promptly closes its eyes and dozes off, floating in little circles and making rather adorable sighing noises. Who knew ghosts snored? Douglas, needless to say, is not amused by this turn of events. "Hmph," he snorts. "Typical. I should have known that you wouldn't attempt to meet my Pokemon head-on."
