<div class="floatleft">(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/004/b/7/explorer_ezreal_by_silveheu-d5qgdt8.jpg)<br/></div><strong>Name:</strong>Skylar Rhodes<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Douglasberg City Stadium, Large center battlefield<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Lexi, open<br/><br/><strong>Current Pokémon:</strong>Bagon, Vibrava, Drillbur<br/><br/><hr/>He could hear the Roar of the crowd, the energy was electric. To say he was nervous was an understatement. As if living up to a multi region champions legacy wasn't hard enough, that persons very first offical league battle would be here, on the grand stage in front of tens of thousands of people. there was probably at least thirty thousand people here. People in front seats he could tell were important people, some pokemon professors, gym leaders and - wait. He took a longer, harder glance to the stadiums front row on his right side. Long azure hair, cloaked in black. Was Claire here too, or was he imagining things?! Not many people inthe world claimed themselves Dragon Masters, which are arguably the hardest pokemon to raise.<br/><br/>He heard many chants come out in Japanese as his name was called, a sizable Johto crowd was here it would seem, and probably part of an even larger Japanese crowd Japan was home to four major Pokemon Leagues as well as the first Battle Frontier and Sevii Islands Orange League Challenge. He wasnt jsut representing his fathers legacy. He was representing Johto, and all of Japan at the moment on this grand stage.<br/><br/>This was a Unova Girl, and based on his little while of research, she was likely a Dark-type Trainer. In terms of raw power, he had the advantage. However, Darktypes are far from being about power. Dark types excelled in Speed, precision and deception. One advantage he had was Drillbur the only one on his team that wasn't part dragon. To win today though, it was going to need to be a team effort. If she had a pokemon native to this region though he would need to be ready. Professor Oak's comprehensive pokedex's most recent release only covered pokemon found in the Kalos region over in France. She also had one more pokemon than he did.<br/><br/>His mind kept thinking of things left and right. Claire's voice rang through his head though.<em>"Strategy is important in a battle, yes, but more over, your faith in a pokemon's ability is paramount. Do this, and a pokemon  is only as powerful as you let it be."</em>He looked down at the badge on his cravat and took a deep breath, strengthening his resolve, "<em>I'm sorry Lexi, but I have to win, so you better give it all you've got because I'm holding nothing back!</em>Out of the three pokeballs on his belt, the notable luxury ball was the home of Bagon, his closest and best pokemon. One could almost say they were wiggling in anticipation.
