<strong>Location:</strong>Old Douglasberg, First Layer (Tunnels<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Lexi, Hibana<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The longer the pair of trainers spent in the tunnels, the more vicious the sounds from below seemed to become. The vibrations in the floor and the walls around them with each quake became much more noticeable, shaking dust from the ceiling that feel in thin, light brown curtains in front of them before hitting the floor and fading across it. The tunnels seemed to go on forever in every direction, but thankfully, with Lexi's guidance, they found the entrance to the next layer down within just a few minutes; fortunate, considering how the rampage below seemed to be getting worse over time. Soon, the two came upon the door, but before they could get close enough to touch it, it burst open, two figures sliding in from the darkness...<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Wild Encounter</span></strong><br/><br/>Standing in the middle of the hall, wide-eyed with fear and panting from exhaustion, were two pokemon. One was a small, skinny humanoid that stood barely off the floor, with large eyes, skin like black cloth, and a bag of pennies slung over its shoulder. The other was a pup with black fur, red features, and silver bumps and ridges across its body, coated in dust from the ruins below. The Sneek noticed the trainers first, jumping back and pointing at them with a sharp finger and a deep glare. Seeing the order of its friend (or master?), the Houndour recovered from its fear as well, hopping to face the humans and growling, its legs spread aggressively. After a moment, it barked and released on Ember, flinging several small bolts of fire in the girls' direction.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">#43.

It is able to steal any small item while completely unnoticed; A Pokeball, for instance. While some Sneeks operate alone, most are rumored to work for shadowy higher powers.</div></div><br/>===<br/><br/><strong>Katsuo - Start Event <em>Early Arrival</em></strong><br/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Seastorm Ferry, Battle Room<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Katsuo<br/><br/><hr/><br/>It didn't seem to be very long before Katsuo's front-row seat to the official Gym match between Elouise and the unknown trainer was usurped, as the nearby loiterers and friends of those fighting in the other rings found this match to be a lot more skillful and entertaining. If he wasn't very good at holding his position, he would be gradually pushed back by the growing audience of pokefans until he could barely see what the Tarift and the Golbat were up to past the heads of so many oblivious teenagers. People really did get tunnel vision whenever pokemon battles were around, didn't they?<br/><br/>All except one person, at least. Someone in a heavy black coat and hat who walked right by Katsuo, without even giving the most apathetic glance toward the exciting match that had drawn a medium group of onlookers. He didn't apologize or even look at them as he nearly bumped into Katsuo and a few others on his way through, though the way the light caught the inside of his jacket would certainly give the South Point trainer the inclination that he was carrying something not unlike a gun on his belt. Strange for a passenger to be carrying that, especially one disappearing so hurriedly into the hallway...
