<span style='color:gray'>"Ok... it'll be good practice. But uh... Twister's the only Pokemon I've got... I know it's against some unwritten Orre law, but if you've got two, could you maybe only use one so it's fair?" Silver asked, Twister jumping off the new trainer's shoulder and flapping his tiny wings to stay airborn.</span>
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

<span style='color:gray'>"Use Gust, Twister!" Silver commanded. The Pidgey flapped its wings wildly, the wind created by this colliding with the Mudkip's Water Gun attack. The water was caught in the vortex, until both wore out and left just a puddle on the ground. "Well that was convenient."</span>

<span style='color:gray'>"Tackle it back!" Silver shouted. His Pidgey had been knocked back by the Tackle, but once he regained his balance he flew at the Water-type with as much force as such a small creature can manage.</span>

*Meanwhile, Glenn was looking around the Pok?mart trying to decide what items he should buy. Although he had saved up a bit of money before starting this pok?mon journey, he had to be careful. That money had to pay not only for the items but also for things like food and buses. Fortunately, he had done a surprising amount of research on pok?mon training so he knew more or less what he needed to buy. Actually getting it, however, was a slow process as he kept getting distracted by things he saw on other shelves.*
*The clerk watched him with a bored expression. It was a pretty dull day to be working the counter. So far, Glenn was only the second person to even enter the store.*

<span style='color:gray'>Because using Gust to cancel it out again would be cheap and I can't think of anything better, Twister was hit hard by the Water Gun attack. "Hang in there, Twister! And use Quick Attack!" Silver suggested, the tiny bird Pokemon charging full speed ahead at Mudkip again.</span>

Stevenson just sort of sat there and waited for his turn to get a pokedex, and he watched the battle. "<span style='color:orange'>Sheesh, it's, like, an RPG or something</span>..." he rolled his eyes slightly.
"Oh yeah, and you, you're the one with the obscure name? what was it again?" asked Prof. Krane.
<span style='color:orange'>"It's Stevenson. S-T-E-V-E-N-S-O-N. Beltino. B-E-L-T-I-N-O. Okay?"</span>
((Oh yeah, here's something I forgott to add o my profile but I want everyone to read. Stevenson doesn't want to be the league champion, he just wants to be a 'good trainer'. he really wants to open his own pokemon da-care center, seeing as there's an apparent lack of them in Orre. Or at least I haven't found one yet.))

Stevenson's Vocabulary Word of the Week:
Foment: (verb) To excite or arouse, i.e. 2014's Week of Randomness hopes to foment some activity on the forums.
Stevenson's Latin Phrase of the Week:
Brutum Fulmen: (senseless thunderbolt) This phrase, coined by Pliny the elder, is used to refer to an empty threat.

Shauni entered the lab again and placed the pokedex down
<span style='color:purple'>"...sorry" </span>she muttered
She glanced at the trainer who had 'escorted' her back inside and sighed.
Yuri began to nuzzle her as she held her, making shauni smile a little.
Grace and Tinder were still in the pokeballs, but shauni could sense there precise, making her a little more cheery
<span style='color:purple'>"I'm sorry...its just I've had a very bad day...can I please have a pokedex..."</span>

Neo went outside and stood for awhile thinking of what to do next. He knew his goal was to become a gym leader but first he needed to get more pokemon and get them and himself stronger. And the best way was to travel and defeat the other gyms and maybe even win the championship. Going to the gyms would be big help. For one it would give him ideas for his own gym layout. Secound it would help him decide what gym to take over so it's current leader could go home.

((Well, there is that one in Agate... it only takes one Pokemon at a time, though.
And Opal, I'm just gonna end the match here so we can get on with the plot... hope ya don't mind. And, in case you haven't noticed, I REALLY like ending matches in a tie... then you can say either everyone won or no one won! That sounded weird. But the point is, no one can be disgustingly superior...))
<span style='color:gray'>After taking another Water Gun, Twister was extremely weak... "Come on, just one more! Use Tackle!"</span>
<span style='color:pink'>"Tackle it back, Mudkip!"</span>
The two tiny Pokemon collided head on, both falling back, knocked out, after their attacks.
<span style='color:gray'>"I guess that means it's a draw... well, it was a good match."</span>
"...T-I-N-O... ok, here you are!" Professor Krane said the letters to himself as he programmed them into the Pokedex before handing the device to Stevenson. "Oh yes, and then you..." Krane mumbled to himself, looking over at Shauni. "I'd be more than happy to give you a Pokedex, since you seem more than happy to take an Eevee off my hands, but what's your name?"

<span style='color:purple'>"Shauni Lakewater sir" </span>she said as she bowed
<span style='color:purple'>"And as for the Eevee, there one of my fav pokemon. I like how you can have five different types if you wanted. I'm hoping to get a psychic or another fire type"</span>

*Glenn wondered out of the Pok?mart and ended up running into the trainers he had seen earlier back at the lab.*
<span style='color:brown'>"Hi." *He walked over to join them, noticing that a battle had just concluded.* "So, what are you guys doing?"</span>
((Sorry for the short post, I'm in a bit of a hurry.))
