Henrietta giggled. She couldn't help it. "I'll try not to." She then eyed the food that Eunmi had brought. It felt awkward to ask for some so she remained quiet about it, despite her growling stomach. Instead she stood up. hands behind her back and tried her best not to look awkward when she smiled.
"I..."
Have nothing to say. But she wanted to. To say something, anything.
"Hum."

[C-can we eat?] D-Vee asked, shyly and scared that Eunmi was still mad.
"Oh," Eunmi said, acknowledging the Smeargle for the first time since ordering the food.
"Hey, there's a bunch of stuff in there, donuts and pancakes and stuff... The chocolate pancakes are D-Vee's though, he'll probably bite you if you try to eat them."
[I would never bite someone!] D-Vee replied. [Not someone as cute as a button like Henrietta.]
He winked at the girl and gave her a thumbs up, but forgot no one could understand him.

"C-can my Pokemon eat, too. Please?" Henrietta asked and she sat down on the bed again, near the food. She looked at D-Vee.
"Hum, he doesn't seem to mind," she said as she pointed at the normal type. "I-if I have a pancake, I mean."

D-Vee paused, half of a whole pancake shoved in his mouth.
[I didn't know you'd actually want some,] D-Vee said, looking sadly at the pancake. He had like 12 more. He slowly raised his hand to Henrietta.
[You're luck you're cute,] D-Vee said.
"Yeah, of course," Eunmi said. "And it seems he likes you more than me."
[Only 'cause you're scary when you're mad,] D-Vee retorted. [What's bugging you anyway?]

"I dunno," Henrietta said as she looked at D-Vee. She'd released her Pokemon who had happily begun eating. Save Melty, well, he was eating, just not in the normal sense.
Henrietta accepted the pancake with a thank you and happily munched on it.

The two and their pokemon would eat breakfast and stuff.
"I should umm," Eunmi said, standing up. "Probably get ready for the tournament thing." She looked at D-Vee and nodded at him to follow her.
[But I wanna hang out with Henrietta...] D-Vee protested.

Henrietta nodded and stood up. "Th-thank you for the meal and.." She brought her arms up, intending to first hug Eunmi, then she reconsidered and dropped her arms.
"G-good luck."

"Yeah," Eunmi said, scratching the back of her head. "Thanks."
[Why are you guys so weird?] D-Vee said, munching on his last pancake as he followed Eunmi when she started to leave.

After Eunmi had left, Henrietta finished getting ready. Stockings, combat boots, fingerless gloves and a hooked skull mask.
Disguise complete.
She then headed out, it was time to figure things out.
***
When it came to fighting one had to adapt. Her style of combat was kendo. So, Henrietta mimiced her stance for a starting point. She held an imaginary sword in her hands and positioning her feet. She thought over the stance. In Kendo, like with anything, you figured a means to strike based upon your opponents stance, their openings, their movements.
"I won't be able to block," she said to herself. So, she could try parrying. She noted, as she practiced this, that her arms would get in the way. So, she fixed her stance, brought her arms further apart. "Okay," she said, and then she began practicing her rudimentary martial arts.
And later she'd arrive at the tournament in time for it to start.

D-Vee painted a final stroke to a complicated looking design and suddenly green vines erupted from the location of the drawing. He rose his hands, wavering them in the air and manipulating how the Frenzy Plant took form, guiding it along until it was a large solid mass, about the size of a person.
"Good, I didn't think you'd be able to make it, but that's awesome, Deev," Eunmi said at the makeshift punching bag. She pressed her hand to it, noting that it was firm enough to withstand a punch but still soft enough that she wouldn't hurt herself attacking it.
She stepped back, having already warmed up, and exhaled before prepping to practice a few punches in kicks. She hoped to god she wasn't rusty.
* * * * *
Eunmi arrived a while later at where the tournament would be held, D-Vee at her side.
[You know even less people understand you speaking korean than they understand Pokemon, right?] D-Vee commented.

Robby had indeed wanted to learn the recipe from the unnamed awesome guy who had shared food with him. In the end, he had given the man a wave and gone back to sleep in his comfortable nest, until the sun rose to wake him.
Now, unlike everyone else, Robby didn't have any epic preparations to make for the tournament. He remembered it, and the probability that the prize was edible, and so the obese lad would be waiting for it to begin after scavenging for pokemon to eat. That awesome breakfast would lead him to the location of the tournament, where he would stand silently with his arms crossed, looking awesome.

Poke. Poke. Poke.
"Excuse me miss, can you please wake up?"
Salieri stirred, finding that her head lay atop an open book on one of the tables in the library. The morning daylight poured through the windows, yet the building was very much empty save for her and the librarian that had woken her up. Had she fallen asleep there?
The Battle Girl blinked a few times then nodded. She gave the librarian a slow hand wave and then dropped her head back down onto the book, snoring loudly for a transition back into slumber. The librarian simply took in what had happened, and then rose her pen back to the Battle Girl's cheek.
Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke-
"Get offa me," grumbled Salieri while swatting away the pen and straightening herself up in her chair.
"I'm sorry miss," the librarian apologized, unphased by Salieri's demeanor. "Although our library is usually open all hours, the Nacrene Gym will be closed all day today. I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
Salieri cocked her head to the side slowly. She looked to the side, searching for the words to say. And finally, she found one. Her eyes went back up to meet the librarian's.
"Bullshit."
"I'm afraid not, miss."
"Total. Bullshit. I was next in line to challenge Lenora!" Salieri was quite livid now, and impatience filled her voice. "Just because I feel asleep doesn't mean I should be denied a match, right?"
"I have no say in this matter, miss. I apologize. In honor of the tournament, we are closing the gym and that is the final word from Lenora herself."
Salieri scoffed. "Well you can tell Lenora that I've got some words for-"
Tournament?
...
...what time is it?
The Battle Girl jolted up to standing, slamming her fists on the table in horrified realization that she might be late. "I have to eat breakfast!"
****
And an hour later, after having a hearty meal and getting prepared in the Pokemon Center, Salieri walked down the street to the where the tournament would be held.

From the highest point in Nacrene City, which was atop the museum, N stood with his arms folded and his back to the rising sun. The spring breeze blew through the elevated altitude, and his hair whipped behind him while his gaze spread out to the whole cityscape.
I don't really know how he got there, he probably just climbed or something. But it still looked pretty cool.
He overlooked the city, filled with the humans he did not trust. But worst of all, that monster was here. The one who dared to turn pokemon into a passing meal. N clenched his fist, still a little sore from the training he had received from Gorm the night before. But the dull pain was nothing compared to the thousand fold he intended to unleash upon Robby Tobb.
I've learned how to solve the formula that will end your days. And in this tournament I'll show off it's fullest application. I'm coming for you, behemoth.
His inner monologue would end, and N would arrive at the tournament.

Now, Luka had gotten up surprisingly early. His mother had told him that the gym would be closed today because of that stupid tournament, but, it might be an idea to go and watch. After all, there was always the odd chance that he'd meet people who he would continue to meet throughout his journey. Luka wasn't a fighter, heck, he'd never been in a fight before in his life. He was practically a twig in comparison to some of the people that would be fighting ((Little does Luka know about Robby. XD)). Still, people's tactics were usually similar in physical matches as they were in Pokémon matches. Bulldoze, Hit and Run, Toy. If he could stay focused and see these styles then he might be able to one up his peers sometime in the future.
As he walked to the tournament he spotted that vandal douche from the other day. He walked through the double doors, hoping to get a good seat and as he passed by the green haired t**t he muttered, "What a weirdo."

After his failed attempt to earn the basic badge Takamaru visited the Pokemon center to heal his Pokemon, where he was greeted by an irritated Nurse mumbling something about it being so late. but after his Pokemon where fully healed Takamaru checked into the hotel. though he dident get much sleep for he spent most of the night reading the various book that borrowed from the Narcene city museum. the book's were on physical combat.
After his studies were finished the youth finally laid down for some wrest until his alarm on his Xtransevier went off alerting him that it was 6:45 A.m, the time that he would get up and prepare for the tournament. Takamaru's prepare ment something along the lines of.
1.) eat a protein & carb. Filled breakfast for energy
2.) perform various stretching maneuvers to ready his muscles and limbs
3.) Wake his pokemon and take them on a 30 Minute jog with him
"Right, that should do it.." the youth said breathing heavy before chugging down a bottle of water in one go. "So here's the plan, the tournament starts in a little bit, so im going to practice what i learned from my reading last night. while im doing that you two can head over to route 3 again and practice your team work. Once the tournament is over ill come and find you so you can show me what you've learned alright?" asked Tk to which his Pokemon replied with the poke-speech
after there plan was set Tk loaded a pack with food for his two Pokemon that would last them the day. from there Tk bid his Pokemon farewell as the two bounded towards Route three. the youth wasn't worried in the slit-est for he gave his partners Full permission to defend themselves from any person, Pokemon or thing with there strongest attacks.
Once he was satisfied with his apperence (a pari of black BB shorts with a Silver stripe down the left leg, a plain white T-shirt, his tennis shoes, and a wrist sized sweat band with a steel-type insignia on it, on his wrist) he set off for the Dojo.
once he arrived he checked in, after wards he exited the Dojo heading around towards its back. "This looks like a good place to practice" he said to himself as he sat his back pack on the ground. From said book bag he removed a pokeball, in side the pokeball was a Riolu that was sent to help him prepare for the tourmanet by his hometown Gym leader, Jasmine.
Clicking the button in the middle of the ball Tk released the Pokemon held inside, Ookami the Riolu. Getting down to Eye level Tk said "hey there, im Takamaru. your trainer Jasmine sent you to me to help train, will you?" asked the youth. Ookami thought for a moment, thinking of his trainer Jasmine, he then nodded slowly, confirming that he would assist Tk in his training. "Awesome" came the youths reply as he took some steps back, taking up his position.
For the next few hours or however long it would be until the tournament started Tk and Ookami would practice behind the Dojo. There practice would include keeping Takamaru's foot work in check, his ability to dodge knock out blows, striking back along with his reaction time and flexibility. none of which stood out a the end of the training aside from his amazing monkey like felxability and reaction time. and that was it, he would use his small stature along with his Natural Flexibility and speedy reaction time's to battle his way through the tournament!
