The bright sun shined down as the breeze of fresh air traveled through. Callum walked along the courtyard, finally getting used to where he could spend the rest of his vacation. "Think this is the right spot, Kakashi?" Callum asked looking down at his Pokéball. The ball shook. He took it as a yes. "Might as well spend time here and stretch our legs for a bit" He said stretching out. He took a look at his Shiny Dex, impressed that it got him this far. "Might as well join another tournament..." Callum quietly said to himself
Carrie
Here he was. Ivano entered the courtyard of the Sigford mansion. The courtyard was **Huge**. He will spend a *Looong* Time here. While he was going on a small walk around the courtyard, Ivano noticed the young fella. "Well well well. Talking to a pokemon in a pokeball, huh? I used to do that all the time. " He said. The time he was spending here will definitely be interesting.
Aaron
"O-Oh, well y-yeah. I've spent enough time with them to know how they feel inside their capsules" Callum nervously replied. He wasn't used to talking to others, but he could work it out. "How about you? You seem like a promising trainer" He asked, hoping to make much of a conversation. He was interested in hearing their response. After all, they DID seem like a great trainer with high expectations
Carrie
"Well, i am not *Really* A trainer, but i do battle sometimes. I research pokemon thay evolve in... Interesting ways. You know, milotic, porygon, and stuff like that. " He replied to the young fella. He seemed very interesting. After he said that, he walked a bit closer to him. He wanted to know about him.
Aaron
Callum became a bit nervous, but was still eager to share. "Well I'm an Ace trainer from Kalos, but I do other things in my free time..." He informed. Callum then pulled out his Pokédex, showing him the entries of multiple Pokémon, but they were off-colored. "I spend most of my time catching Pokémon of a different color. They're called Shinies and I find it to be fun to do!" Callum continued with a smile. He then sent out his Midnight Black Greninja, shining in the sun
Carrie
"That's very interesting. That greninja sure is different from the ones i saw. I actually never saw a shiny in my entire life. It must be interesting finding those. " He never saw a shiny pokemon, so he was suprised by it. He then became kind of... Fascinated? By the fact that these discoloured pokemon exist. He clearly showed that. "Having a hobby like this must be fun."
Aaron
Callum smiled. "Kakashi's not the only one I own. Every single one of the Pokémon I have caught are shiny. I've always been interested in their existence" Callum continued as he tossed two other Pokeballs, sending out a Shiny Raichu and a Shiny Gardevoir. The Raichu immediately snuggled with Callum. He laughed a bit. "Good to see you too, Nitro Zeus" Callum said to his Electrifying friend. The Gardevoir giggled a bit as well. "We're basically like a family..." Callum continued to say
Carrie
"Well, i don't have any shinies but i also have a few interesting pokemon. " He noticed the shiny raichu and the shiny gardevoir, and he... Smiled a bit? That wasn't very common for him. " I bet you never seen these." He said as he tossed two great balls. His porygon-z and milotic came out. "This bad boy evolves through literally upgrading hardware" He said pointing at the porygon "And this lass over here evolves only if she's beautiful enough." He said while pointing at the milotic. "Pretty interesting ways for pokemon to evolve, huh?"
Aaron
"Well that is pretty interesting..." Callum said, looking closely at both the Porygon-Z and the Milotic. He stood quiet for a moment. "I never really understood the concept of evolution, to be honest" He continued to say with his hands behind his head. Callum then realized something. *Wait, why am I talking to this person when I haven't introduced myself?* He thought to himself. "Hold on! Where are my manners? The name's Callum!" He said holding his hand out
Carrie
"The name's Ivano. I guess nice to meet you, Callum." He took Callum's hand and shaked it. "Wait a minute, you said you are from Kalos, right? I am from Kanto." He said to him. *That boy REALLY seems interesting* He thought to himself. "So Callum, you were also invited to this island? For me it seemend kind of bizarre that i just got an invitation here one day but i went here without hesitation." He said to him.
Aaron
"Well I guess I was invited because I did great in the Kalos league, but I think that's about it. Or maybe because of my shiny collection" Callum replied with his arms crossed behind the head. Still, he knew that being invited on gave him a lot more opportunities to meet new people. He had trouble making friends sometimes, but when he had the chance it would always be a great time. "Hopefully I find a way on improving the strength of my team!" Callum cheerfully exclaimed
Carrie
"Interesting. Probably both. I wonder why i got invited though. Sure, i wrote a book or two about pokemon evolution and i am researching it all the time but honesty i don't know why." He said to Callum. He was really suprised when one day he got an invite and he still wonders what he did to get one. The invitation gave him an oppurtinity to see pokemon he never saw before and the ability to document them.
Aaron
"Well you could get to know my Pokémon. I usually change my team from time to time, but this is my current one" Callum said as he tossed three other balls. Out came a Pink Quagsire, a Dark-Mosses colored Aggron, and a Halloween themed Chandelure. "I haven't really introduced them but the Raichu is Nitro Zeus and the Gardevoir is Selena. She has a Mega stone, so we can sync up in battles" Callum informed, showing his Key stone. "The Quagsire is Pinky. He usually doesn't pay attention to his surroundings. The Aggron's name is Bruiser, and the Chandelure is named Sia!" He continued. All of his Pokémon glimmered with their different colors. They all stood close, noticing another human amongst them
Carrie
"You use mega evolution, huh? I prefer not to use it, but since you showed off your team i'll show off mine."
He threw the rest of the great balls. He sent out a malamar, a steelix, a sylveon and a runerigus. "Meet my crew. The steelix is named rocky, that malamar is named tental, my milotic is named lea, runerigus is called ruina, sylveon's name is fair, porygon is named pixel.
He showed off his pokemon to Callum, seeing as he did the same.
Aaron
"It's great to meet other people that carry high expectations" Callum said. It was a compliment. Hey knew that Ivano had a lot of potential and was probably even better than most people on research. "I'm only 13 and don't know much, but I'd consider myself a pretty good Ace Trainer" Callum continued to say
Carrie
"You are quite young for a trainer that good and with such unique pokemon. If you are wondering for some reason i am 16 years older than you. You also seem to be carrying high expectations. You might even have a chance to become the next champion of Kalos in future. " He said to the young man, suprised at his age compared to his experience.
Aaron
"Well thanks for that. I'm sure I still have ways to go!" Callum continued to say. His Pokémon began to play/train with each other. Callum smiled at the sight. "Maybe your Pokémon can enjoy themselves as well" He suggested. Callum's Pokémon were always open to making new friends. It would be a good time to cooperate
Carrie
"That does not sound like a bad idea." He said to Callum "Listen up everybody. You got some free time but don't destroy anything and lea, don't obliterate ruina with ice beam like last time." He said to his pokemon, he was pretty cheerful at this point.
"Now they can play. I sure do hope they don't destroy everything like the last time, since because of that they haven't been going out of their great balls lately." He said to Callum
Aaron
"Well if they want to, they can train with my Pokémon. Although, I think I might have to tell them to hold back a bit" Callum nervously replied with a small laugh. His Pokémon were powerful. They got him through many fierce battles throughout their tourney history, so it was only safe for them to go easy
Carrie
"No no no, don't tell them to do that. Mine will probably be ok. And if not, i have a bag full of medicine that i stashed away somewhere in case of an emergency." Ivano replied full of confidence. He wasn't acting like this normally, but now? Now he was one hell of a smily man.
He believed that his pokemon would win since he traveled through essentially the whole world with him, fighting many trainers that were powerful along the way.
Aaron
"As you wish" Callum replied with a shrug. He whistled to his Pokémon, ordering them to train with Ivano's Pokémon. He wanted to see how they would square off. "Hopefully nothing goes wrong. I'm sure none of my Pokémon aren't aggressive enough to go wild" Callum said, nodded at his Pokémon
