And the Verdict is? [Alice]

[Akihito Kamakura]

The storm was pretty bad outside. Aki and his pokemon were on their way to their dorm when they had to get inside. The closest building was the commons. Ducking inside he ran his hand through his spiky hair and the water flung everywhere. His Fraxure Drago shook and the water went everywhere as well. They could hear a janitor near by complaining about th mud and water all over the floor from people coming and going. "Sorry!" He said to the janitor. Finding an empty chair he plopped down in it while Drago looked around. The Commons were more crowded than normal because of the storm and Drago wanted to go talk to a couple of the dragons that were there. Aki reached grabbing Petunia and released her. "Stay where I can see you guys." The two dragons walked a little further and started talking to a Bagon. Aki closed his eyes and thought about the date and everything that had gone on since then.

[Alice Geissler]

There seemed to be a storm outside which could've been worse had it been for the nearest building. It was the commons itself and while both the Hydreigon and Serperior tried to shelter themselves from the storm, they seemed to be soaking wet. Once the group was inside, she felt the need to apologize to Claude for letting him faint during the battle with Zygarde. It was concerning, but she did care for the green serpent's well-being. Lulu could feel the sadness in her trainer's mind as she was greatly concerned for her friend's health too. And there seemed to be some dragons inside the commons, almost as if they were waiting for their trainers. "I'm really sorry for what happened to you. I should have watched your health, but no. I was careless and I am really sorry for that." Claude stared at her for a moment and silently nodded. He seemed to forgive her for the recklessness that she displayed.

[Akihito Kamakura]

Sitting in the chair he could hear a familiar voice coming near him. Opening one eye he saw a Hydreigon and a Serperior. Opening his other eye he saw Alice talking to the Serperior. He was hesitant to talk to her because of her Serperior. He didn't like snake looking Pokémon, he was actually afraid of them. But he was more afraid of the one that resembled snakes like Ekans, Arbok, and Seviper. Though Drago caught a glimpse of Lulu and ran over to her. He tried to get her attention but she seemed busy seeing to Alices Serperior. He didn't catch everything she said to the grass type but something about fainting and she was sorry. His Gible wasn't too up on following Drago over to see the Hydreigon so she came back to her trainer.

Aki stood up making his way over to Alice. He was behind her, placing his hand on her shoulder he spoke."Is everything okay?" Akihito spoke his Kalosian accent showing through as he spoke. Petunia the Gible by his side.

[Alice Geissler]

A familiar voice broke the silence and it was Akihito and there seemed to be Drago and a Gible from the looks of things. Lulu turned to Drago and greeted him with a friendly growl, somewhat happy that she got to see him again. "I'm okay. Just worried that Claude might not like me as much, but it looks like he still forgives me from what I can tell." After that, the Serperior allowed himself to be stroked on the head, murmuring softly. It was surprising that there were a lot of dragons that inhabited the commons and perhaps, their trainers might come back for them. Or they might homeless and were looking for a kind trainer to take care of them. Whatever the case, they might be stray Pokemon who were seemingly abandoned by their trainers. It was not like everyday that she would see stray ones, but those dragons sure looked like they were trying to wait for the storm to pass.

[Akihito Kamakura]

When Lulu growled Petunia ducked behind Akis legs. This was the first time she had been out around other pokemon besides Akis. He could tell Alice was really upset about what happened and he wanted to make her feel better. He took her by the hand and guided her over to a table. Motioning for her to sit he went and got him and her a soda. Making his way hack over to the table he sat down and looked at her. "What happened? I hate seeing you like this." He placed his hand on hers. He was concerned about her, he cared a lot for her. Just as much as hr cared for his Pokemon. Drago was having fun spending time with Lulu and Petunia was staying close by her trainer. "It dosen't look like he is too upset about it. Whatever it was."

[Alice Geissler]

She sat down while the Serperior accompanied her. "Well, Claude had immediately fainted after Zygarde had used Earthquake, but not before using Dragon Tail the previous turn." The green serpent seemed to be listening to what she had to say before looking over to where the two dragons were playing with one another. At least, Lulu seemed to be having fun with Drago and he felt kind of lonely without anyone to play with. "Let's have Noel play with you." Releasing the Swinub out his Academy Ball, the brown pig squealed upon seeing his snake friend. The Serperior was happy to actually have company to be around with and seeing that pig made him feel a little better once the initial tension was over. "Yeah. Well, the good thing is that Noel managed to survive the Earthquake and he never went up against a legendary before."

[Akihito Kamakura]

"He seems fine now and it doesn't look like he mad at you." Aki said squeezing her hand before letting go. He took a drink of his soda before speaking again. "So your team got Zygrade. We got this Dark Type called Darkrai. The nurse Ringo knows about it. It put Drago to sleep and hit him hard with a Dream Eater." Aki added, he looked over to where the two dragons were playing them over to were the Serperior and Swinub were having fun. Aki smiledand then looked bback to Alice. He has wanted to spend time with her but between the last event, training and classes. He hasn't had time to be with her. Though if they were a couple he would have to make time and he was more than okay with that. Now that the event was over, there would be more time to do stuff like that. "Yeah, Zygade is a dragon so ice would be the best against it."

[Alice Geissler]

"Darkrai's pretty interesting. I haven't seen any legendaries from where I'm from though. I'm hoping I could at least see one next time." No trainer had attempted to capture a legendary Pokemon before, but it was only because they were needed to balance the world. If they were successfully caught though, the world might reach its end or some other disastrous consequence. She hadn't seen him since that date, but she did feel kind of bad for making that decision to be friends. It was just a way to figure out what was her feelings on the situation. "Since last time, my Vibrava evolved into a Flygon and she's been practicing her appeals for future contests. I never seen her so happy about it. And also, my Doublade evolved into an Aegislash during a battle with Vivienne." On the bright side, most of her team had evolved already and were much stronger than in their previous forms.

[Akihito Kamakura]

"Neither have I. But you got to see one from my region." He said taking another drink of his soda. He felt Petunia nudge his leg. He looked down and smiled. "I guess I caught her since the last time we spoke. I think, last couple weeks have been running together." Aki said thinking about what she had said about her wanting to be just friends. But he didn't want to be just friends he want her to be his girlfriend. But he cannot force her to do something she doesn't want. The storm was really coming down now. More students were coming into the Commons. Some were even being reunited with their Pokémon. It would assume they had them stay in the Commons while they brave the storm.

[Alice Geissler]

"Yeah. Petunia's kind of rare, but you're lucky to find her." She did recall seeing a Gabite the last time that she went to the Dragon's Den, but ultimately skipped it. In the end, her friend caught a Sliggoo which wasn't bad. Drago seemed to having fun playing with the Hydreigon who was playing a game of tag. And the snake and pig were chatting away like there was no tomorrow which was good. She released Isabeau outside where the Aegislash looked at where the four Pokemon were playing with one another and blinked without emotion. Sometimes, it was hard to know what the golden sword was thinking, but she could tell that the Aegislash really cared for her. "I think I might have you practice your appeal. How about that?" The sword turned to her trainer and silently nodded while she happily agreed. It was good how the sword really showed enthusiasm at trying her best to strive for her trainer's approval.

[Akihito Kamakura]

"Yeah she is. I was just about to call it quits when she showed up. She is really shy and I find it strange from a Dragon. But they all can't he out going as Drago." Aki said looking over at Drago and Lulu. They were having a blast playing. Then he started to stare at Alice as she was talking to her Aegislash. He couldn't believe how pretty she was. It was like time stood still when he was with her also that it was just he and her in the world. "Some storm huh, it came out of nowhere. Me and Drago were coming back from the gym. That why I'm dressed in my tank top and shorts." He said kicking over is bag and three if his pokeballs rolled out. Petunia ran over and pressed all three of them. "Perunia, Don't do...that" he said but it was too late.

The first one was Sasha the Dragonair, she came out and towered over everyone. Then it was Clementine his Darmanitan, she popped out and had her usual chessey grin on her face then came over and gave Aki a bear hug. "I love you too Clementine." He said patting her head. The third as Razor his Doublade, she just hovered there with her normal blank expression. At first glance it would seem like she was stupid but Razor was a very intelligent Pokémon. "Well looks like its a party in the Commons." Akihito laughed standing up. He gathered his empty pokeballs and sat his bag on the table placing the balls inside.

[Alice Geissler]

And Petunia had accidentally released the rest of Aki's Pokemon which prompted Noel to look at the new Pokemon that joined the party. The pig seemed to be curious of them and Claude seemed to look over at the Dragonair. She seemed to be taller than him, but that didn't stop him from trying to act like a noble in front of those other Pokemon. "The storm seems bad, but it looks like a party in here." Isabeau just floated idly while the two dragons were having fun trying to tag one another. Some of those trainers had taken shelter from the storm as well as talking with their Pokemon to make sure if they were alright. Then, she noticed that Aki was staring at her while she talked to the Aegislash which was probably concerning. "Are you okay? You're kind of staring at me all of a sudden."

[Akihito Kamakura]

"Was I?" He blushed, he couldn't believe he was caught. Know how was he going to get out of this. He saw Alices Serperior trying to be regal. He chuckled then turned back to Alice, he had to think of something g quickly or shewould think he was becoming a creep. "I was just admiring how you are with your Pokemon. So loving and kind." There, that wasn't a lie. It was just not telling her the real reason why he was sharing at her. He wasn't going to tell her how he truly felt about her. He already had one foot in the friend zone, he didn't want to dive head first into it.

Glancing over at the group of Pokémon that now consisted of his and Alices. Everyone seemed to get along just fine. Drago and Lulu were playing. Clementine was sitting watching the others play. As for Razor, she was hovering next to Isabeau. Razor still had that unemotional expression.

[Alice Geissler]

"Oh, I see." She wasn't sure if it was an obvious lie or just trying to cover up his tracks, but whatever that was, she kind of believed it. Everybody seemed to be having fun and it seemed like the event was now behind her. It still occurred to her that she should be careful when using a Pokemon in the red as legendaries tended to make them faint easily. Isabeau seemed to look over at the Doublade hovering next to her. Razor was in her own little world and the Aegislash was kind of worried for her. Those two swords seemed to be trying to communicate with one another, but one of them had an unemotional expression, almost as if she didn't show any emotion. "I think Isabeau might be concerned for Razor." It actually reminded her of seeing a wild Doublade during that last visit to the Dark Moon Isle.

[Akihito Kamakura]

She bought it, wow. He thought to himself. He looked over at the two sword pokemon that were next to each other. "There's nothing wrong i dont think. That's just Razor, she has heen like that since I got her as a Honedge." He explained to Alice. There wasnt anything wrong with her, she seems perfectly fine. It just puzzled Aki that she could be I the blank state one minute than when he give a command she come to life. "For some reason she is like that all the time except when we are in a battle. Its like a trigger flips or something. Its amazing." Aki says standing up stretching. "Oh and don't feel bad about what happened to you and Claude with Zygrade. I sent out Abigale my Absol and Mega evolved her against Darkrai when she didn't have any descent moves." Akihito said reassuringly.
