His face was ever as flat and serious while he walked in silence, causing the soft golden lamps of the corridor to cast shadows under his eyes and mouth. He flicked up the hem of his white, cotton overshirt to reveal a belt with three pokeballs hooked on it, possibly kept hidden under the clothing to avoid confronting any trainers he wasn't interested in. Non-professional trainers had a tendency to challenge anyone they laid their eyes on, so it wasn't uncommon to see the more level-headed trainers keep their lineup hidden. With the excitement that came with its first Pokemon League, these annoyances were practically epidemic right now.<br/><br/>After a few minutes, the pair (or the trio) would arrive in the battling area of the ship, in what looked like a massive ball room with high white walls and a deep oak floor, only with four large rings spaced apart for battles; two floored with dirt and rock, one with sand, and one with a deep pool of water. One of the dirt rings was currently occupied by a couple of rich-looking teenagers battling with a Persian and a Staryu, surrounded by a small army of their friends and admirers, so the pale-haired blonde stepped over to the free one. Two metal platforms for trainers were raised slightly above the floor on opposite sides of the ring, which was itself surrounded by a waist-high protective metal barrier, so the challenger polite walked to the opposite side and stepped up onto his own platform.<br/><br/>"Are there any special rules for this challenge?" the trainer asked, already drawing one pokeball from his belt and expanding it to full size. With his well-tailored clothing, he seemed as if he would fit in well with the upper-class crowd that was already taking private charge of the battle rings, were it not for the severe and deeply focused attitude.
