Definitely, no. You keep an eye-lock on the thing, while moving forward.

That doesn't fit. At all. No traces of struggle, or damages a strong Pokémon would have made. Still, you prefer to believe that.
The best alternative is him getting kidnapped, with the false tray created one way or another. And there is the more probable case. The one that makes the most sense. The one where he lies motionless in the depth of the wood after an encounter with something dangerous - Pokémon or Human.
You're passing near a Morelull while the Skitty slowly fades in the mist. You don't understand that Pokémon's whole deal. He's really a Skitty - Espresso confirmed it. A spy? But the gaze was so void...

and pretty much hightail it out. He has been under for a bit and probably could use a visit to the hospital. maybe us as well. just to make sure that we wont be having any long term complications.
if he is clear in the head i would like to ask him if he remembers what happened before we pulled him out of the shrooms and if he can describe the weird people he texted about.

First thing first, you take your phone and message you mom. "Everything fine. We got him out of trouble. Will be back in two or three days. Always were with qualified adult Rangers." Did she just left you on read? Passive aggressive. You focus your attention on the news, animated by Nicolas Gullmorant. <span class="mu-s"> Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this debate between Marine Lestylo and Jean-Luc Mixsleeve on the issue of immigration and border openness. Ms. Lestylo advocates for the opening of borders to skilled workers, while Mr Mixsleeve argues for strict immigration control to protect workers already within the territory. We will now hear their arguments. Ms. Lestylo, you have the floor.</span> <span class="mu-r">Thank you. Kalos needs talent and skills to thrive. By opening our borders to qualified workers, we strengthen our economy and encourage innovation. Controlled immigration will help address labor shortages in certain sectors.</span> <span class="mu-b">What naivety, Marine!</span> <span class="mu-r">I don't allow you to call me by my First name, Mr Mixsleeve. I expect you to uphold the respectful standard of an elected official.</span> <span class="mu-b">What naivety, young Lady! Opening borders without discernment will jeopardize the jobs of our workers. We must protect our citizens and ensure they are not in competition with foreign workers with unfair Pokémon team advantage.</span> <span class="mu-r">You're exaggerating, Mixsleeve!</span> <span class="mu-b">Deputy Mixsleeve. Talk about double standards, Miss Lestylo.</span> <span class="mu-r">Enough deflection. We're not talking about replacing our workers, but about bringing in skills that we lack, mainly due to the government politic of Pokeball distribution. We can control the flow to meet our needs. Prioritizing Kalosian in Kalos. Not a steady influx of Ma'Greban drowning our culture in their</span> <span class="mu-b">Control the flow? As if it were that simple. Multinational corporations would exploit workers even more. You're the puppet of big capitalism! Are you working for your Elector or Castelia Stock Exchange?</span> <span class="mu-r">That's utterly absurd, Mixsleeve. Your inflexibility harms our economy. You'd rather see Kalos stagnate than allow new ideas and skills to come in. Kalosian come back in.</span> <span class="mu-b">You simply want to ignore social and economic realities, alongside international retribution if that were to happen. Your solution will only worsen inequalities and endanger our social cohesion, and risk a war!</span> <span class="mu-r">You don't understand anything, Mixsleeve. Your vision is narrow and protectionist. You don't want to see that managed immigration can be beneficial in the long run.</span> <span class="mu-b">Jean-Luc Mixsleeve: And you, Marine, would rather destroy national solidarity in the name of pseudo-prosperity. You only defend the interests of the elite.</span> [bThank you both for this passionate exchange. It's clear that you have very different opinions on this issue. Unfortunately, we don't have more time to continue this debate.

(You) get lost in thought, while a fulgurance graces you. An harsh truth, maybe inspired from the heated debate on screen. Still the truth.>Might makes things Right The reason that the most famous people are so powerful, (You) reasoned, was because their power allowed their rise. Take Hoenn, for example. Steven Stone was said to be the strongest trainer of his generation. Any problems would make the mystery-seeker to appear, and solve the situation. Then came Archie and Maxie. Undoubtedly strong. Individually, less than Champion Stone. Still, strong enough to only stop wrecking havoc in the region when they decided to. There is something to say about their strategy : rising so many disciple, making them focus on the few same Pokémon allowed to create an army of high-threat goons. Of course, their teams all share weakness. Weakness countered by the atypical strength of individual trainers : were they not outlaws, they could easily rack up 5 or 6 badges each. That does not even start to take into account sheer numbers. The Champion couldn't defeat them. Didn't. Brendan did. A single person, less than 17, Mawile'd his way through the region. Crunching every obstacle on the road, he stopped armies. A monster. A monster that became an elite trainer, fighting other monster in worldwide sports tournaments. Making Hoennians proud. Hoenn does not lack strong trainers after all. Him focusing on International scene, while Steven and gyms leader keep the occasional inside threat in check, makes the region wildly prosperous. In the end, Brendan chose sports. He had no obligation to. No one could have stopped him becoming Hoenn's Kingpin if he wanted to. Yet he didn't, luckily for (You) and other people that grew in Hoenn.>Might Oblige Pokemon are not just tools but friends and partners. In particular, your team. Your partners. They deserve the best. Not being mere leaves blown away by the winds of fate. So does the people of this region. The unfairly spoiled of their right to catch and raise Pokemon. The one attacked by strange people. The struggling everyday man, such as Danny's uncle, David. Times comes for the meal, which is silent with Matthew being the only effort at conversation - Danny needs to recover, you're still deep in thought.

Initially, (You) started that trip to get enough badges to get into Engineering cursus. That's a good thing, really. How many time Devon's scientist have been attacked by stronger trainers? Sylph's employees too - there's something about a famous terrorist attack in Kanto fifteen years before your birth. So, being strong and have a team without a shared weakness to Fire, Ground and Fighting combination seems mandatory. But do (You) really still plan to get into Engineering? You're less sure. Being a professional trainer? It is hard. Stupidly so. But (You) won't let that stop (You) : your life will be what (You) choose it to be, not the scraps (You) will pick up.>Danny can't answer any more at the "What you want to be when you grow up" question.

But she needs to prove herself not being a "professional trainer" is by choice. >Danny progressed one rank in Stratege Skill >Danny progressed one rank in Coach Skill You're in your bed, still pondering.

Might is Right. No one ever had any rights other than those he took - and knew how to keep. You have skills. They are valuable. That mean you have to defend them.
You build a composure.
"First of all. Good day too you as well. So nice of you to spy on a young woman just doing her thing. And which one here is your follower?
- He is."
Of course. The robes. They are five or six of them. All of you walk out. You start to wonder if you made a mistake.
"Four on four?
- You challenged me. I'll pick the rules. Full team."
Either he had more than four Pokemons, meaning
a fair amount of badges, meaning you don't stand a chance anyway, or he doesn't. You won't give away that advantage.

Your fire pokemon relentlessly spit fire on the moon-sent being. Moon sent starts eldritch channeling energies again.
Your starter gets hit by a lingering energy - few damages, but slowly gets its energy nibbled. Then, a dazzling bolt of energy. Finally, an horribly loud cry, rising a cloud of dust.
It settles. Clefairy stands, wobbly. Your ð-Croagunk doesn't.

Of course, a few Zigzagoon have been following you around.

You hush them away.

Ask Fay if she can follow their psychic signature and use Espresso to muffle our pursuit. Otherwise we will probably have to track them to their den and spook them enough for them to drop the loot and scoot.
also rely on Hoen instincts to make sure you know how to approach the pursuit

Perfect opportunity to learn what he can do.

A jolt of electricity - packing a punch this time - fells on the unlucky goon. Said goon which connect a lucky hit on your new Pokemon. Wait - not so lucky : A spark jumps from the tesla coil, burries in the fur, and keep lingering around him.
A second attack fell him.

Gauss node, gather quickly Normal type energy, and dashes on the target.

And a fight-ender. Munchlax looks at you, at the Cyndaquil, at you, run away exceedingly fast.

They seem to be really close to each other - Disciples (from both sex) often brush another one's arm, hold hands (it's the first time you see what you assume non-gay men - based on a few Kalosian Kiss you've seen them giving to a few of the lady - holding hands)
You feel quite well. Despite not knowing you, and being older, all of them are considerate and thoughtful.

- Very well. Very reasonable. Here's how the next couple days will go..."
You start directly with a teaching of said ...philosophy. Fabrice takes you through the main entrance, enter in a Kyoto-style building with wooden floor and paper walls.
He makes you wait a couple minute, coming back with a 30-something guy.
"Danny, let me introduce you Yves. He's tasked with personal introduction of our Doctrine.
- <span class="mu-b">Nice to meet you.</span>"
The man that lead you in immediately leave you alone with the medium-height, short-hair, glasses-wearing man, which sit down.
"<span class="mu-b">Nice to meet you. As the Chosen One said, my name's Yves. This time is not a formal, rigorous class, but more an open exchange and discussion.
Feel free to interrupt, and ask questions, as frequently as you want.</span>"
That immediately put you more at ease. You're still distrustful, and on your guard, but this does not seem like you know of the classical cult handbook...
"So... What is you faith exactly?"
Yves let out a small, amused jiggle.
"<span class="mu-b">Common misconception of outsiders. We're not a faith. More of a science-based communal lifestyle with star-inspired spirituality... We can break it out in 10 main tenants : </span>"
He proceeds to present them in the rest of the afternoon.
1 - Empiricism and Evidence-Based Thinking
2 - Critical Thinking
3 - Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence
4 - Scientific Naturalism
5 - Scientific Spiritualism
6 - Protection of Religious Freedom
7 - Advocacy for Scientific Literacy
8 - Open Inquiry and Rational Discourse
9 - Community Building
10 - Artistic, Scientific and Battling Excellence
That was head-spinning. And definitely different of what you expected. Next, is the dinner.
"<span class="mu-b">You can do that in one of two ways. Join us for the communal dinner with you and your Pokemon, or grab the necessary and eat on your own in your room.</span>"

You release your team - the food provided is well enough for all of you. Fresh produce, stew, rice, cakes, berries. You bite into an apple - overwhelming taste. The stew's temperature is just right, the rice is lightly flavored.
You certainly didn't expect to eat that well.

Fabrice face display contrariety and anger for a fraction of second, before rebuilding his mask of perfect control and fake benevolence.
"Very well. Meet me at 3 for your lesson."
Yeah, as far as this people go, you feel pretty sure of two things :
First, the Disciple are far to be as bad as portrayed in the media. Second, the chosen ones - at least this one, but you feel it's fair to generalize - have an extended agenda. One you can't trust.
You're pretty sure you want to make an in-depth report to Blitz. Getting briefed beforehand would also have been nice - maybe your intel is worthless and they were looking for some specific pieces of information?
Your head spinning, you fall asleep.
Your Pokénav buzzes. Time for your training.
You get out of the futon, heavily blinking to get rid of the eye-boogers sealing your eyesight shut.
You step outside. The sky is beautiful. That make Fabrice a bit less chilling.
"Alright Miss. Time for me to pay my debt. Get your Eevee out."
>>5751290 >84 That goes quite well. Under the man's guidance, he opens Eevee's perspective toward a new move.
"That one is called Glitzy Glow. A Psychic-energy move only available to Eevees with a deep bond with their trainer... To be honest, your bond is still too week for the move to work completely, and there is more to it... But after tomorrow's training you will be able to use it in battle."
You get back to your room, with a breakfast waiting for you. You devour it, then fell back into a small sleep, before another session of "Doctrine" with Yves. You remember the incentive of "open exchange and discussion"...

i've had some thoughts about our team and what can we build towards, imma write up some stuff while we wait for a post>Apu (delta croagunk) Our faithful starter and a pretty underperforming one at that. Besides being less cool that the original it loses its interesting typing for plain singular fire type, but this one at least keeps the original's ability Dry Skin instead of the dogshit abilities it has in Insurgence. Sadly, without something like Thunder Punch there's zero reason to have this thing against a water type and if we do it's probably because we fucked up. I'd say it's bench material but it is our starter so I doubt you guys would back me up on that. We could have had a Delta Snivy instead of this.>Bubbles (regular wooper) The undoubted Ace of the team. Pretty good typing and an ability that makes it a mainstay in many smogon tiers, definitely a cornerstone of the team. A flying type would be great paired with her.>Cinnamon (eevee) A classic casual trap, not only is this thing absolute trash and complete deadweight that you traded a Happiny for, none of its evolutions are worth the hassle of having it on the team until it DEEMS to evolve, except maybe Umbreon and just barely. At least in this case it has its partner moves which makes it a bit interesting, and since this quest has Insurgence fakemons there's a chance for it to get more interesting... so just that saves him from being bench material. Dixie (regular Bulbasaur) As far as grass types go this one is pretty alright, it's got utility and it's potential Mega is actually good so more reason to keep it. Still, it suffers the blights of a grass type and for that she'll probably get benched Espresso (delta Purrloin) Another of the rare delta forms, has a great typing and an ability with lots of potential for shenanigans, this one is definitely a keeper. Fay (regular female Ralts) another casual trap, I'm sorry to say that outside ruby and saphire this thing is total dogwater. A Sharpness Gallade miiight be worth it but even that's a stretch, and out of the question since she's female. At least it can make for a nice Teleport taxi, and a healer too way in the future. Still bench material though.>Gauss (delta Quilava) A pretty, pretty cool alternate form from an already cool pokemon. I think I'm not supposed to spoil shit but I'll say this thing can be a powerhouse, but we need a Drizzle mon to be sure. We got Politoed and Pelipper to choose from, of which Pelipper is less shit but with the added fakemon we can get two other options. We already missed out on delta Snivy but there's one Clovermon out there that could fill the spot. I gunning for that one. In short, we should build towards a rain team. Also, look for the aliens too.

>Where does this organization get its funding? >>5753793 While these are fair if harsh points, I'd say you're looking at things too much from the game perspective. Take a pokemon like Vaporeon for example and its ability to literally turn into water. Do you realize how useful that could be? How much that could help in battles and getting out of bad situations? And also the potential of Gardevoirs being able to summon black holes and generally how insane psychic or fairy types are in general, as well as other dex things we haven't even grasped on to yet.

Another glint sparks in the man's eye. Annoyance and anger or respect for one standing her ground? You're unable to tell. You know you're in position of strength in that bargaining. You won't step back even one millimeter. Sucks to be him, you guess, because he really wants the Balls. You also feel he will overwork you as much as he can in the timeframe.

A beauty-sleep and breakfast later, you find yourself facing a small mountain of them.
"What are those?

The disciples blemish.
"Sort. Those are good. Those are a waste of Nature's boon."

That leave the guard stuttering. Fabrice turns around.
"Good luck. Now, I have things to tend about that require my immediate attention - like explaining to the Prophet and other Chosen One why the Eidolons require your presence on the field..."
The amount of power a chosen one seems to wield over the cult member is astounding. Maybe a convenient tool for later?
Anyway you step in. At first, you don't see what's special with this starfield. You blink, and the landscape seemed to change immensely.

Also Dixie stays in the party once she has recovered. her Gras poison moves could be very helpful for type coverage.
The evolution of Ayyalmo also has a steel type so it could also fill another niche against psychic, ice and stone types.

I almost want to catch that Swablu for the dragon type
and because I used to sweep with an Altaria and for the free hat but I feel like the Poipole is the most interesting alien and useful one here with its dragon/poison evolution.

>>5754374 Poipole would be cool too. We already have a Psychic type so no need for Ayylamo or Elgyem. There's more clovermons out there in the quest I'll bet.

>>5754381 I almost pains me to not get an Ayylamo, but we already have both a psychic and a steel type. And what the other anon and I discussed earlier is making me think about type redundancy and team making a bit more.
But also Poipoles/Naganadels can be pretty nice and give good type coverage/movesets. Ultra Beasts are generally pretty cool.

You smile idly, remembering a bit the elderly lady that taught you a bit of Hoenn native language, shared with Kanto, Johto and Sinnoh.

Hey, a Sandwich to eat on the go! Amazing.
You start walking toward Clerk-Mountsmith, while eating your sandwich with berry jam and Bird-type chunks. Your Pokénav turns into a cheek massager - you saw that in a mail order catalog; apply on cheek for firmness.
You didn't gived it much attention despite wanting to conduct research. Past days were eventful. Still, you feel like you might not have given enough time to your team, in particular newer additions...
Your friends are afraid about your well-being, with you off the radar for one more day than expected. So is your Mom, first sending you Dixie Pics, growing more and more concerned.
Speaking of, the said friends were preparing a break-in to extract you from the dangerous cult, and seems not so far.

Do little concentric circles. 4 - Explore all your cheek surface, looking for your C-spot

You're tackled down. Arms bent on your back, handcuffed. You feel hands taking away your Pokeball, and you catch a glimpse of the people around before they tie a blind fold.
Your heart is beating madly. You're in the dark, you're roughly handled, you have no idea who the people were or who you are.
In the bottom of your heart, you wonder if you made a bad choice. One leading you to your demise, making you a powerless spectator. Your apprehension grows.

You're starving, thirsty, exhausted and badly need to relieve yourself.

"What the hell happened?

You feel immense pressure under the gaze of the man. You won't let tear wet your eyes, despite how small and miserable you feel.
"<span class="mu-s">...You really have no idea, do you? Here's how it looked on my side : a trainer leaving the home-base of an highly suspicious organization we couldn't get any agent in, its Trainer Card glitching through Outer Heavens about an unmanageable bypass of team limit.

Anyway, thanks to Amelia, you quickly get the address of Danny for a surprise drop-by. His family lives up-hill, a twenty minute walk from the village center. First, you're taken by the magnificence of their home : a stronghold turned into housing, including a tower.
You're received by his mother Fabienne, a fat, blond, forty-something woman with a bright smile, that's more than happy to fetch some tea and cookies.
Danny is in the middle of the living room, brightnening up upon seeing you.
"How are you doing?

- So you caught something in Darkwoods in the end?

And the third option doesn't appeal to me.

You put up a red headband - it's not plagiarism toward Remboar, it's a reference! - and start up your training.
<span class="mu-r">Apu</span> progressed a fair bit. The training and special time allocated just push him over the edge toward mastering a new move, <span class="mu-r">Flame Charge</span>. Good.
<span class="mu-b">Bubbles</span>, being the good girl she is, takes time to coalesces her mud sport into something bigger - <span class="mu-s">Mud Ball</span>. She's grown even stronger, too - is she your ace?
Gauss, on his side, is getting used to his bigger, most powerful self. Speaking of, you can't exactly ascertain his strength : he seems to be almost on par with Apu and Bubbles, but with less mastery . However, you can't help but worry : even if he joined you on his own accord, and he went fully in training because it looks like he really like flexing and shooting at stuff, you feel your hold on him is at best tenous. Speaking of, this might even be the case for all your currently held Pokémon. You'll need to work on that bond.
Hari, however...
It's not like it's not listening to you. More, both Poison and Dragon type are unusual. It is an interdimensionnal critter. It is an Ultra Beast. You have no idea on how to train it - and it shows. You don't even have an idea of the thing's power level, or its moves. He knows some kind of poison one, as it delight into hosing down everything in purple, acrid goo. Good call hiding it from your mom for now - it looks like the stereotypical Poison nuisance that would fuel her nightmares for years to come.

- For taking care of Dixie. I couldn't give her proper care, and you clearly treated her well. Despite your Pokephobia, you've been understanding."
Your mother smile.
"Any progress with finding other caretakers?
- No. And to be honest, that's complicated - limiting quite a lot my option and completely forcing my team composition right now.
- I think you might have learned the lesson. You'll be careful with your additions for now on, right?
- Yes."
No other answer, really. Can't catch anything without putting yourself in deep trouble as is.
"So, I won't play Pokemon Nurse and take care of every bullied Pokemon out there. But the company... It's not so bad, especially with such a nice and well-behaved girl.

- And I know our dear Mayor really well. He won't deny me that favor."
You go to bed, with your thought drifting. You really didn't expected your mom to go the extra step for watching a Pokemon Battle of all things.
After waking up, and a hearty breakfast for you and your team - your mom taking a bowl of sugarless tea - you walk uphill toward the stronghold-turned-house-and-farm-and-Pokemon-gym.
"Just a bowl of tea... You're not hungry?
- Not at all. After sleeping, your body is fasting. A sufficient amount of water fill the stomach, preventing deshydratation. I take the tea sugarless for no caloric intake. Like that, every step we're making is burning a bit of fat."
Your mother have always been chubby, despite her energy and activity. You take note of that - genetics and all that stuff will push you on the same road sooner or later, and this one seems like a good trick.
You see a man standing in the field, enjoying the early morning sun while taking a coffee.
"Hey there, Yves! My daughter have come to challenge you.
- <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-g">Danny, right? My son told me his friends would be coming...</span></span>"
You take a deep breath and space out while your mother negotiate to get in and spectate the battle. It's longer than what she expected, and you're pretty sure bribes were involved, but fifteen minutes later, she secured her position.
A really supportive mom is a nice change of path.

The man walks you inside one of his three barns, which have a dirt floor, sprinkler, reinforced walls, and painted lines : everything done to prevent too many damages to the building itself even amidst a high-level battle.
"<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-s">Danny Garnier, you've come to Belloco's Normal Gym to challenge for your second badge. Please select three of your Pokeball to enter the fight, let the rest of your team on the tray at the entrance.

I will myself use 3 Pokémon which power level are tuned with the requirement of a 2nd badge. We will both blindly discover each other team.

Your hand firmly holding your pokéball, you launch the ball at the cue.

That Stufful packs a punch. Really do. And knows how to take a hit - the fight-type energy almost dissipated amidst the thick fur. You grit your teeth, anchor yourself in the ground, and push on with your strategy. <span class="mu-b">Wooper</span> gather more energy, starting to get the offensive power building up. The main issue comes from the greater speed of your opponent. Still, <span class="mu-b">Bubbles</span> is not an ordinarry whooper. She's your ace. After a solid second hit trade, she starts wobbling, in a way sadder state than the Gym leader's pokemon.
The moment a third hit comes for her, you think she'll be done, hearing an anguished gasp from your mother while a cloud of dust settles.
Toroughly beaten, on the edge of collapsing, determination shining in her eyes, she retaliates.
The hit, power with the furry of a thousand Whooper Punches, sends the Stufful flying away, collapsing in a barrier.
Stufful gets back on his fits, steps forward, stumble, tumbles, don't get up.
"Nice opening, girl. Go, ArmeSecrete!"
What the cinnamon toast is that thing?

Your wooper burriest itself. Your fast call allowed him to dodge the incoming move, and strike, jumping back.
The attack is completely walled by the fabric and stuffing of the weird Pokémon. At least, it won't soak another move...

You still have no idea what you're facing. Based on the look and moves uses, you guess it's a Normal/Ghost one. The fact it soaked an attack... Is that a regional variant of Mimikyu?
"<span class="mu-r">Apu, Flame Charge!</span>

Wowowowo, that seems dangerous! Spectral blade appear above the enemy while <span class="mu-r">Apu</span> builds up momentum. Your first strike is not enough to fell it.
"Again, <span class="mu-r">Apu</span>!
- <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-s">ArmeSecrète, Shadow Claw.</span></span>"
The uncanny atrocity leap forward, lending a solid hit on your Pokémon, which retaliate in a cloud of flammes.
Both Pokemon seems shaken - at least, it seems like it start feeling hits!
They both get back to their senses, and leaps for one more trade of blows.

You gasp. Your mother looks puzzled in the public. <span class="mu-r">Apu</span> collides with the smooth-polygoned duck, dealing a fair amount of damages. Then, you're all blinded by a flash of light.
You shield your eyes with your forearm, while your shocked mother cover her wide-open jaw with her right hand, while Yves stays stoically still.
<span class="mu-r">Apu</span> is out - and you can't help but awe at the mastery of the Gym Leader, directing the hit perfectly to avoid consequences.
>>5772907 >>5772963 >>5773026 "<span class="mu-s">Gauss</span>, your turn! Thunder Shock!"
Alright, the plan is simple. Capitalize on the recovery time of Hyper beam, and hit as hard as you can.
"<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-s">CanardPC, Psywave.</span></span>"

The electric shock hit first, before the psy-type retaliation, that you pokemon takes like a chief.

Gauss is electricity. A bit too much for a fast finishing attack. What is he doing?
Anchoring his feet in the ground, is that meathead trying to take the Hyper Beam head on? Or outblast the blast?
"<span class="mu-s">Gauss</span>, No! Shoot! Now! You can finish it, but not take the beam face first!"
Won the coinflip of Obediance Your words trigger a reflex, with <span class="mu-s">Gauss</span> losing his concentration on his upcoming shonen-style attempt to show-of.
The bolt hits the energy-gathering Porygon while the Hyper beam starts to form, frying it.
"<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-s">CanardPC is down. I, Yves, the Normal champion, is out of Pokémon. Congratulation.</span></span>
