The city scape produced the most amazing colors and variety of things, Sui decided.
Riding in the Metro Bus that travelled from the outskirts of the city to the northern part of it (where the middle-class resided), the Battle Academy group (or what was left of it; many had gone off to the National Park or places in the city to experience this grandiose place) was heading towards the Goldenrod Gym. The Normal Master, Whitney, was the gym leader there and as part of their tour of Johto, the Battle Academy freshmen were visiting every major Gym possible. Of course, the main form of travel was bus (seeing as it was the least expensive and most efficient in terms of energy conservation) and therefore, students got the opportunity to observe their surroundings from the windows whether they were dazzling, grotesque, beautiful, or unbelievable. Sui was one of these students and although Blackthorn City was much like Goldenrod in terms of grandeur, it had decided to take a "classical" thematic when Sui had left and therefore he became so fascinated with the new style that he almost forgot about the old one. Goldenrod, however, offered the opportunity for the alabaster-topped male to gape at gigantic skyscrapers, bizzare TV screens involving much MORE bizzare commercials, Slowpoketail dealers and skyscraper-jumping daredevil Pokemon such as Breloom. In fact, there were so many interesting things that Sui had to force himself to look away in order to return to reality. Cloudy, who was the only Pokemon fit to reside out of her Pokeball in the bus, was still indulging herself in the many sights of the city (after all, she had only known the island's landscape and nothing else) and released a startled cry when the bus pulled to a stop in front of the Goldenrod Gym. Laughing, Sui's hand rose to pet her and she crooned in content soon afterwards.
"C'mon girl...nothing to be afraid of...we're just stopping, that's all," Sui soothed with a gentle tone. Stroking her still as he stood up, he heard Gary say, "Students, we are now here at the Gym. Whitney the Gym leader is not as young as she was, so she now has a second Gym leader that she is training. Unlike Bugsy who still had youth after 40 years...Whitney doesn't, so behave out of respect please. After we introduce ourselves, or have a small battle or two, we will go to Whitney's ranch, each of us will get one pint of milk each - NO MORE!" He emphasized with a sharp jab of the finger. "This is a business, after all, and I can't have my students make Grumpigs out of themselves. Now get out in an orderly fashion -Whitney is still cold at me for last year's mishap.....All that milk wasted....So, behave my students, and we will be invited to her ranch. It's a shame though we are only allowed to bring home one pint each of this milk..." The senior professor mumbled regretfully. "Miltank are also sensitive, so don't spook them!" The professor shouted wildly. Sui chuckled slightly and made the "loco" finger motion with his head turned towards Cloudy, who chirp-laughed in agreement. Getting off of the bus, Sui followed two understudies of the Gym into the wonderful Goldenrod Gym.
The first thing Sui noticed was how plain the Gym looked. It appeared to have the setting of an indoor garden and home at the same time - a wondrous aroma spilled in from the kitchen door in the corner and left many of the students in a drooling wake, which would have included Sui had he not eaten lunch but a couple of minutes ago. The plants formed rings around the room, giving off a pristine smell that indeed showed their health. Understudies of the gym walked around, tending to things like the walls and the floor - Sui realized that THIS was what a gym was all about - the top notch facilities, great people, etc. However, the young teen had no time to think about it as he advanced with the group, Cloudy on his shoulder. When the arena emerged, Sui was immediately enthralled and taken in by the setting of the professional Gym Leader. The seats and stands, the plain walls, the dusty battlefield, the cool air...everything captured him in its grasp and he couldn't help but gape at the sight. Soon his attention was transferred to an old woman who limped in, a 23-year old, very pretty black-haired woman trailing her - so the old woman was Whitney, and her sexy companion was her student.
"Oak...You spineless git, you still haven't paid me back..." Whitney grumbled in that "cruel old people" tone. The professor rubbed the back of his head sheepishly - the debaucle sure was embarassing for him. And it was - discussion spread throughout the group and was quickly hushed by the speech of Prof. Oak. "Well...we've just had a large group of students lately so we nee-"
"You cost me $20,000 - don't make any excuses!" Whitney shouted, grumbling still. Gary decided not to argue any more (more white hair was never good) and introduced the students to Whitney. "Students, this is one of the best trainers of Normal pokemon in the world, Whitney...she manages the Goldenrod Gym franchise and is training Miss Ayame, who is 23 years old and becoming a powerful leader herself. She and I will demonstrate how the cuteness of Pokemon can influence a battle greatly -"
Ayame cut him short with her cheerful, bubbly tone. "Well, Professor Oak...I was thinking I'd use..." She tossed her long black hair around lightly as she turned her head from side to side. "That trainer for my demonstration." Unbeknownst to Sui, Ayame had been paying attention to see who was the most attentive and Sui was that person. Pointing at himself and receiving a nod in return (the rest of the male students grumbled statements like "Lucky" and "What a pain..." and the female students immediately stopped gushing and glared at him), Sui walked up there shyly. It was such an honor to meet a professional trainer like Ayame, he thought as he shook her hand, introducing himself and returning Cloudy.
Sui sat on the side of the battlefield that the jealousy-infused students were watching from while Ayame sat on the side with only one spectator - Whitney, who cheered confidently and coughed from the extravagant effort afterwars. Getting into his battle "gear", he tossed Needler's pokeball with a cheerful cry of, "Let's go Needler!" and smirked confidently. Ayame laughed and tossed the ball for her Jigglypuff, causing murmurs to spread out through the crowd that dissipated immediately when Ayame ordered, "Strength on the ground, Jia!" The pink puffball struck the ground with a charged palm, causing a wave of dust and energy to go towards Needler. Immediately enranced by the opposition's beauty, the Cacnea would've gotten hit had it not been for the shout of "Dodge, Needler!" that Sui shouted. Shaking his head, Needler immediately released a whole bunch of Poison Stings at Sui's command, the nigh-invisible needles flashing in the flourescent lights of the gym. However, surprising everyone, Sui told Needler to continue launching Poison Stings as he advanced. Getting near the defensively-positioned Jigglypuff, Needler was informed with a shout of "Dynamicpunch!" to attack and when he was pulling his fist back, Jia knew what to do - she blinked her eyes and did a cutesy pose (Attract). Needler's arm stuck itself in the ground as he stared at the Jigglypuff with hearts in his eyes - suddenly, the opposition was so much more pretty and attractive then before! The gratification, however, fell short of the powerful Double-Edge that struck him smack dab in the face and knocked him out cold, spinning hearts still in his eyes. Squeezing Needler's ball, Sui returned the Cacnea with a red laser and strode over to the middle of the field, shaking Ayame's hand. "Nice match, cutie," the in-training Gym leader said flirtatiously. Sui blushed slightly and mumbled, "You too," before returning to the stands.
Ayame then began to give a lecture about how beauty and cuteness or handsomeness can influence the outcome of battles and contests. Sui listened intently while thinking, Wow...she's an awesome trainer. As soon as he finished praising her in his head, Ayame offered the usual student's battle or two. The whole group (save the adults) rose their hands eagerly, and the tall woman bit her fingernails, looking around and thinking about which one to choose. Maybe Lexy, Sui thought silently.

I have a proposition to make for everyone.
Night Avenger, although you are a pretty good GM, you aren't being as assertive as you should be. Your level of RP'ing, although decent, is not what many of us would like to have for a GM. You know everything that we should have for the areas and you indeed have some creative ideas but the thing is some of the best people we have come in here going like, "wtf happened?" We need some kind of regulating force around here and well...the three main "good" posters that i talk to, Ben, Rachel, Hyuu say that I should have control of this RP. I too, agree, but understand that we're not trying to offend you. If you could make your BEST post possible, on the same topic (going to the gym and a battle) so that we can compare out skill levels that'd be great!
People who are reading this message: I would like you to compare NA and I's posts in general. Whose is better? Whose is more balanced? Who do you think is more open to ideas? Obviously, this is my opinion, but I think that I am better and that other people and I can regulate this RP better than NA. Although NA has been an absolutely wonderful and great person for this RP, I think that because we have such a diverse selection of RPers we can make much better progress if we have new management. NA, if leadership goes to me, you don't have to leave at all - in fact, I'd love for you to stay.
Obviously, I won't post like this everytime, but this is my best post that I feel I can put here. If NA follows what I ask of him (he may choose not to and kick me, I don't really mind), then you guys will be able to compare the two of us and see which one you prefer. I sincerely hope that you guys can make the decision and regardless of the result will be happy.
Thanks for reading,
Sui
