"Awesome, it was either that or moving to another area" Jamie explained, climbing off Isi and patting her back a couple times as a thanks. "It's not quite perfected but it is getting close I believe. So forgive us if it is off a bit" He moved himself and Isi away from the other two so it didn't get really loud for them, this routine was made for a stadium rather then a small group. He didn't say anything aloud, just four small clicks to Isi before rustling her leaves quickly, making many of them fly into the air as she started the rain. It started to hit the leaves immediately, Isi shaking her head quickly to keep both the ones in the air and introduce new ones at the same time. She then started something akin to a song making it grow louder and louder. Once the melody had been placed correctly she started to use flash over and over to the beat of the song, the light reflecting off the red leaves, giving the area a light red glow amid the rain.

"That's so pretty!" Ena whispered happily at the routine. It was defiantly amazing.

Once the melody was over, Jamie once again gave Isi a quick pat on her back. "We have been working on it for a while, getting the flash to go together with the melody takes a bit of work." He would admit it would be easier to do this in a two-pokemon contest, something that only happened in more laid back, informal contests, but he so far didn't want to get any other pokemon other then Isi. "It doesn't help we can only practice it at most two times in a day, her leaves have to grow back from her shaking them off, and this is one of those 'once in a season' things" He wasn't sure if Shinx had anything similar to Sawsbuck, but regardless it happens no matter what pokemon.

Jamie shrugged "Depends on what the other routines are, sometimes my best one is for the first so I psych out my competitors so they mess up, depends on the order I am going as well." It didn't mean his other routines were bad, he just had to figure it out once he got there, just be prepared for anything really. "I have a scent based routine that I use sometimes as well, I still need to get it changed a bit since last time I used it, it didn't work out quite how I was expecting"

She snapped her fingers, "Thats how I know you! I saw that routine at the advanced level competition just last month," She exclaimed, remembering the competition well. She used Scout, her Dragonair and used a colored fire performance. She preferred using "magic" and "illusions" with her pokemons skills, but made sure, although illusions where a primary theme, to switch it up every now and then. The past few competitions she had only made vague ties to her illusions and "magic tricks", and, instead, focused on the beauty aspects, trying to refine her pokemons skills before attempting more advanced illusions like she wanted to.

Ena played with a piece of her hair. She was glad for Shinx who was pressing up against her leg reassuringly. "So, you two know eachother then." She murmured, more to herself than anything.

"Last month? Oh, that one, it wasn't our best performance, I think I am going to use it again some day, or something similar since it was pretty fun to do" Jamie glanced over to Ena and shook his head a bit "Not really, once you start doing contests you are going to recognize people every so often from previous competitions." He had ran into that a few times, not as often as others since he sometimes skipped some contests to perfect a routine or to have some down time. "It all depends on what contest you go to and if you stay in that area till the next one or not."

"Well, are you heading to Ash Town or somewhere else?" Ena asked curiously, pulling out her map to show them the route she was taking to Ash Town. She would go through the forest and get back on the main rode and head into Ash Town. It was only another day of walking and she'd get there.

Jamie shrugged, he always thought at least one other person out there had done a routine like he had done. "I spend a lot of time thinking about it. It also helps that I can really focus on the moves Isi can learn" he explained, thinking it would become difficult if he tried to get two routines down at the same time with two separate pokemon and their own personalities. "Maybe? During the fall, she tends to be the one who picks where we are going."

"I'm headed to Ash Town, theres an... old friend of mine I'm planning on visiting. " If he's still there, she thought to herself. Her best friend, Benji, was working on his competitions, so there was a high chance he was there. A huge contest was being held there this weekend, so she was betting on him being there. The idiot had managed to destroy his poketech, trying to message Kiki, while in the middle of the ocean and dropped his phone right into the ocean, never to be seen again. Since then, it was just a chance she could see him, Benji being to cheap to go and buy a new one.

"That's interesting, it must take a lot of trust," Rna commented to Jamie before turning to Twist. "That's cool! It's good to go and visit friends." She smiled happily. "I'm going there for the contest where I'm going to make my debu and hopefully win a ribbon."

(well I went from researching different science stuff for contest stuff to seeing what would happen if you taser an Iphone. Hint- you don't want to do it. Does not charge the phone, it kills the phone)
Yeah. Jamie thought, keeping it to himself to not risk any 'from this day forward you shall be my nemesis' kind of deal. "Is there a contest going on there?" There were so many in most of the towns he tended to lose track of a few of them every once a while. He mostly just checked upcoming contests when he arrived to a town unless he was specifically invited to one. "Good luck" "sure, I can have Isi head over to Ash town, does the advanced contest start soon? Or are there a few days before it begins?"

Hey guys, just got out of church, but going to dinner so I might not post much)
Ena was happy to hear that they'd be going to Ash Town to watch eachother. "Since we're all going to the same place, why not travel there together?" She suggested before quickly adding, "Of corse, if you'd prefer to travel alone, I totally get that."

Jamie nodded in slight agreement, he wouldn't promise he would have interesting topics to add to the conversation, but why not travel in a small group. He rubbed Isi's back for a few moments, using this chance to get rid of any remaining water droplets. Then he quickly hoisted himself on her back, Isi glancing down at Jack with slight curiosity. "I'm ready to go" He already had the plan to give Isi a break come a couple hours from now, let her rest in her pokeball if she so desired.

Ena nodded. "Alright, let's head out then." Shinx growled at Jack as the umbreon sniffed him. He didn't want strange trainers and Pokemon near both himself and Ena.

Jack let out a small hiss, hackles rising slightly, backing away, a small dark aura surrounding the shiny umbreons body. "Hey! Jack! Do not use Dark Pulse on Shinx," She scolded, picking up the wary pokemon. The Umbreon, although a little too big for her to hold him, let out a huff, glaring down at the Shinx. The Umbreon was sending him the "I could beat you up if I wanted to" look. "I'm sorry. Jack's a little nervous around new Pokemon," She apologized.

"It's fine. I'm sorry to, Shinx must have done something to provoke him." Ena said, bending down to pet Shinx's head in a reassuring manor. "You be nice to the others please. It's alright to be cautious, but please try to be nice," she spoke softly to her partner before straighting up again.

Jamie glanced down at the four, eyes darting back and forth as they spoke to each other. "Ready to go?" He asked, both him and Isi ready to get back on the road once again. She kicked the ground once with her hoof, taking a step back and one forward.

Alice entered the store that was closest to the town enterance. She entered with her growlithe, named Riggs who began to bark at the little bell went off when she opened the door. Alice giggled, tucking her jaw-length, dark hair behind her ear. "It's okay, it's just a bell silly!" She straightened out her mid-thigh lengthed blue blouse and black leggings she had picked out for today. Along with that she wore a black fedora with a blue bow around it. Riggs wore a matching blue bow around his neck. Today was a special day, as it marks the anniversary that she and Riggs had met. Which meant that she would have to get Riggs a special present of his choice. But knowing her Growlithe she would most likely be bringing more than one present home. It was a good thing money wasnt an issue, Alice lived in a mansion outside of town with her family. Riggs and her seemed to have met by destiny, as both of them have expensive tastes. "Okay Riggs, go pick some stuff out!" Riggs barked a few times and wagged his rump before darting off to his favorite isle in the store. Alice smiled before looking down another isle. This store seemed to have jacked up the prices, hopefully her mother allowed her budget to be big enough to get Riggs what he wanted. As she was looking through some new bows for Riggs, she heard her growlithe bark to get her attention. Alice turned around and noticed he was pointin towards the nost expensive thing in the store. A new four post bed with small diamonds on the posts. The label read that the matress was filled with feathers and the pillows lining it were the same, the pillow cases were made of silk with a golden colored thread making a striped pattern across them. "Really Riggs? You know mom is going to be mad if I get something as expensive as that." Alice put her hands on her hips, giving her growlithe a stern look. She caved when he gave her his signature sad eyes. Alice sighed, "Fine. But just so you know if we get in trouble it's your fault." Alice went over to the counter, "Excuse me sir, would it be possible for you to wrap that four poster up and send it to this address?" Alice jotted down the address really quick before handing it over to the clerk.
He gave her a look of surprise, no one had bought that piece of furniture because of the cost, but he wasn't going to say no if she wanted to buy it. "Um, sure, but how do you plan to pay for that?"
Alice handed him a debit card that went directly to her bank account. She watched him wrack up the total with one thought on her mind, *I'm so dead.* but she kept a smile on her face. The clerk handed her the card back and proceeded to package up the four poster. Alice was scared to look at the final total of it all, but she looked anyway. The register read, $405,784. Alice almost fainted. That was triple her budget. "Is there anyway I can lower the cost?"
The clerk thought for a second, "Well, the shipping is about $100, so I guess if you did that yourself you could lower it a bit."
Just $100? Alice sighed, "Okay, I'll do it myself I guess." She took the box and was almost dragged to the floor when she did so because of it's weight. Alice turned to Riggs, "See what you do to me?" She struggled to carry it out the door, it weighed most likely more than her. Alice was glad she decided against wearing heels in the long run. She looked around to see if anyone could help her. This was impossibly heavy.
