``James was busy playing at the arcade, his Scizor standing behind him in awe, almost as if it was a young child or a little brother, which it really wasn't to be frank.`` "Come on, come on, come on!" ``He said, as he struggled with the game, it being a hard level after all.`` "Sci! Sci! Zor! Scizor!" ``His Scizor persisted, point at the screen and buttons. James had then lost and a game over flashed in his face. His Scizor burst into a small metallic chuckle at James' face when he'd lost.`` "Ugh... Come on you like you could do any better, Sci." ``He told his Scizor, a bit angry. His Scizor looked at him before looking over to the cabinet and beginning to play, without snapping the stick in half.`` "I'm sorry but what?" ``James questioned as he watched his Scizor play on the game.``

*A large burly dude would walk into the arcade a breloom next to him smiling. He had been exploring the island for a while and decided it was time for a quick break. There was a older arcade machine next to the one James was at, it was basically Pacman but Pokemon. The man would give James a nod looking slightly suprised that sombody so young was on the island. He would shrug and start playing, looking very much like a grown up kid*
Carolyn
"Hhh... Come on Sci, it's not like you're gonna win..." ``He told his Scizor, standing to the left of it, as it continued playing.`` "Sci! Zor! Sci, sci! Zor!" ``James was confused.`` "Look... You're gonna probably attract attention." ``He told his Scizor, but it didn't listen, it just kept playing. James let out a small chuckle as it missed something in-game.`` "You missed something there, could've helped you in the long run." ``He told his Scizor. It darted it's head to James, glared then returned to his game. James looked a bit weirded out by his Scizor's glare.`` "Alright, I'll let you at i until you die, I gues." ``He said, keenly watching his Scizor play.``
Paige
*The man would look over inquisitively his curiosity getting the better of him* "Excuse me kid but is that Scizor yours" *Breloom would walk up watching the Scizor play* "I was just wondering, it isn't to common to see a Pokemon as strong as that with sombody so young, no offense" *Drax thought back to the Scyther he had met and how strong it was, this kid must be more than meets the eye, Drax thinks going back to his game*
Carolyn
"Yeah... He's mine. Or well, my dad's... But he passed it onto me... So mine?" ``James questioned.`` "No offence taken. I get that a lot. I'm a Gym Leader... So I kinda have to be..." ``He said, looking at Drax, noticing his Breloom, smiling at it, before going back to his Scizor playing his game.`` "I mean, Tate and Liza are strong trainers. They're kids too... They're strong." ``He said, having a point. He quickly whispered to his Scizor.`` "You got a fan, Sci... Better not mess up." ``He teased, chuckling. His Scizor, didn't hear him but was focusing on the game.``
Paige
*Drax would do a double take and look extremely suprised* "Your a gym leader, really? I guess it doesn't really matter how old you are... I'm Drax by the way Drax ward pleasure to meet you" *He holds his hand out for a shake, still a little surprised. Breloom would walk up next to Scizor smiling cheering it on* "Bre, loom bre bre loom" *It would wave it's fist in the air trying to pump the Scizor up*
Carolyn
"Yeah, it doesn't really... There's people younger then me at gyms, like gym trainers and stuff... I think we have like 2 of those. Anyway, James... James Ikoria." ``He shook Drax's hand. The Scizor looked at the Breloom, smiled and got pumped up, making a risky action in the game but got through, still winning.`` "Sci, sci, zor!" ``It spoke, as in ready to beat the game. It's claws were slowly manoeuvring it's way through several combos, making good moves and techniques for the game they were playing.`` "Sci..." ``The final boss. The last frontier. The last slice of pizza. This was it. The last bit of the game.``
Paige
*Drax would nod and smile glad to see breloom was making freinds, he let go of James hand and looked around the arcade* "Well I'm glad people are getting into the sport at such young ages, how long have you been on this island" *Drax asks, his breloom would pat Scizor on the shoulder cheering, breloom wasn't very experienced with video games but he figured any support would help. It seemed breloom had taken a liking to the Mr crabs looking bug*
Carolyn
"Couple a days at best, Like 4 to 6." ``He said, watching Scizor sweep the final boss in the fight.`` "Your Breloom's pretty encouraging to Scizor, isn't it?" ``He asked, not really knowing how to make a conversation. Scizor was on the last slither of health the boss had. It went for one final blow and it had won the game. Scizor rejoiced by doing a small dance and letting out a shout of victory, before logging it's name in, 3 letters though. S C I would do. It is what James calls Scizor anyway.`` "Scizor! Zo! Sci!" ``It gained James' attention.`` "Huh? What is it, Sci- oh my Arceus you beat the game!" ``He exclaimed, surprised by this.`` "Before me too- wh- how??" ``He asked the Scizor, with it just smirking and keeping silent.``
Paige
"I just got here" *Drax would smile and pat breloom on the head* "Yeah he's good at getting people and Pokemon pumed up and ready to battle, if you don't mind me asking what Pokemon do you have other than Scizor" *Drax says stretching a little* "I have breloom, Snorlax, walrien, altaria, Typhlosion, and Heracross"
Carolyn
"Oh that's nice and yeah, your Breloom's a real charmer. Altaria, heh that'd give some trainers some bad memories back home. There was this one lady called Winona and her Altaria was known for beating entire teams if it got a few Dragon Dances off. Heh. Well I have..." ``He inhaled.`` "Doublade, Skamory, Steelix, Mawile and Aggron alongside Scizor on me. I think my dad's currently taking care of an Aron maybe... He told me over text about a day or two ago, I don't remember. Wow, a Typhlosion. It sounds really cool... I'm mainly limited to Steel-Types since I'm a steel-type Gym Leader." ``He explained, nicely wrapped up. James made a small stretch and leaned up to pat Scizor on the head.``
Paige
*He nods seeming pretty impressed* "Sounds like you have a pretty strong team" *He knew altaria was strong but he didn't know it could take out whole teams by itself he was gonna have to try to get his altaria to that level* "What's it like being a gym leader, must be a whole lotta responsibility more than I could handle" Breloom would wave at James seeming decently friendly, breloom then looks over at Scizor smiling glad he had beat the game. It seemed they were gonna be friends*
Carolyn
"Yeah... I kinda do. Well being a gym leader sometimes gets boring when there's no challengers. We get paid after a bit, I get about 2-3 challengers every 2 days. I usually just sit around with my friends in the meantime or train with my gym trainers, they're fun for the most.``He looked at the Breloom and his Scizor.`` "Seems like they're already friends." ``He waved back at Breloom.`` "Real nice, definitely."
