OOC: To whom ever said it earlier incorrectly, my Nidoran is female, not male, please get it right next time. The 'battle incident' didn't seem to go to well, I want to stress that both parties must be willing to lose at some point, what I saw was two RPers, that both didn't want to lose. Please think, these 'characters' of yours have just began their apparent pokemon journeys and shall not be pokemon masters quite yet. I must say Martin_ this does seem to be developing quickly, I like the idea of having story posts every once in a while that really progress the story, but the majority of posts should advance the story in one way or another, it doesn't have to be major; it can be as simple as learning something new about a character, or displaying a quality of theirs that is listed in the RPers sign up. A lot of the posts in between just seem to be their to fill up gaps.

Ashley had sat around all day, and was currently reading a book, simply watching these trainers that he will be travelling with, they seemed a decent bunch but he'd definitely noticed a few things.
One boy, Alex or 'fatty' as Ashley has secretly named him, clearly never wished to be wrong and thinks that he rarely is, Ashley already have a desire to correct him on any detail at any possible point. He clearly didn't seem to care about his fashion; it was potentially pretentious for Ashley to notice or care about this, however, he didn't seem to care.
The kid with the Treeko he thought was okay, and from the battle he clearly, in Ashley's opinion, had his head screwed on correctly. However, Ashley's pessimistic view of human nature, results in him thinking that this Jackson person must surely be sizing people up also.
Ashley moved onto this bed, and continued to read.
