(What an opening!) "It's quite a disaster, isn't it Becca?" "Indeed, Kimmy," replied Becca, a Gardevoir. "With so few new trainers departing, our very way of life will cease to exist. We must find a solution." Suddenly, a man's voice called out, "Honey, there's someone here to see you." Becca vanished, as a young girl climbed the stairs. The girl walked up to Kimmy and bowed. "Well then..."

Kimmy began, "What can I do for you, Miss?" The girl smiled and answered, "Hello! I'm Shorai, and I'm going to become the new Champion of Hoenn! I just wanted to see you in person before I set out. You better watch yourself!" Kimmy laughed, "Your enthusiasm could KO Alpha Kyogre! Well," Kimmy started, looking down, "You certainly have your priorities straight, but there's a long and dangerous...

"road ahead of you, especially nowadays. It wasn't like when I did it, young whippersnapper! So Shorai, have you chosen your starter yet?" "No, not yet, but I'm on my way now!" "Well then, just remember," Kimmy winked, "You can't go wrong with Mudkip!" "Ha, your starter, I get it! OK then, wish me luck!" And then Shorai was off. Becca asked, "You two will battle, Kimmy." "I know." (Your turn)

Professor Ryan Casares Birch yelled, "Oh good grief! This thing's after me! I've seen it before! Help!" Then he spotted Shorai. "Quick, you there! Reach into my bag, grab a Pokemon, and battle this thing, like Kimmy did before you! You must complete the cycle! Hurry!" Shorai nodded. Inside, Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip. After remembering Kimmy's advice, she chose Mudkip. The battle was on!...

Shorai examined the small blue guy, before ordering to tackle. Oooh! Zorua was hit! But then, Zorua attacked Mudkip! Yikes, damage! Oh, but wait, Mudkip's lowering Zorua's defense. Why? Zorua laughed and attacked again. Oh no, critical hit! Shorai and Mudkip grimaced, before counterattacking. Such damage. The Zorua could barely stand, before remembering its mom and fainting. Shorai and Mudkip won!

"Thank you girl!" exclaimed the Professor. "Oyyy, let's get out of this deathtrap." Back in the lab, Shorai and Ryan met with Kimmy. Shirai spoke, "You should have seen me, Ms. Champion! I battled that Zorua like a natural! I was as great as you!" "You've got potential, young lady!" Kimmy smiled. "I'm sure you'll give me a hard time yet! So, what will you name your Mudkip?" (Should I, or you?)

"Beautiful name!" exclaimed Kimmy "I think it really fits, and he seems to like it too." "MUD! KIP!" "Well then, Shoria," started Casares, "It seems your journey has begun. Here, take a Pokedex and some Pokeballs. That way, you'll learn more about the inhabitants of Hoenn! Oh, and be sure to tell your mom that you're leaving!" "Thanks, I will!" proclaimed Shoria as she left the building...

(Sorry, SHORAI!) "Well Kimmy, there she goes, off on her own adventure. Remember when we were her?" Kimmy smiled. "How could I forget? That was the beginning of my greatest adventure. I'll always remember it." Kimmy sighed. "You know Casares, we've come a long way. Sometimes I really miss the old days." "Why not go with her?" "No, that won't do. She needs to have her own life." (Still going)

"Mom! Mom! Mom! Guess what? I'm finally going on my own Pokemon adventure!" "Wonderful, dear! Your father would be so proud! I'll tell him once he gets home. Oh, but first, come give me a hug!" "Aww, Mom!" Shorai smiled sheepishly, as she embraced her mom. "Now go out there and get 'em!" "OK!" And thus, Shorai's adventure had begun. With Ensio the Mudkip, there was no stopping their charisma!

(Unless you want me to keep going, I'll stop here. I don't want to hog your story without permission!)

(Sorry, I'll be back. I need to go wash Churro!)

(Well, that took longer than expected. Now, for the difficult story!) Shorai and Ensio battled everything they came across. Soon, Ensio became strong, and they had to move elsewhere. They traveled north, only to find a dead end. As they were about to turn around, however, Shorai spotted a small pool. She examined it. "My, how pretty this is! Look Ensio!" "MUDKIP!" Suddenly, Sola appeared...

"Turn back. Turn back, and I shall let you live." "Huh?" Shorai turned around and saw the ominous woman nearly floating before her. Ensio had enough, and attacked with Water Gun. Sola disappeared before it hit, yet her voice remained. "You have grown, Mudkip, but you're not strong enough. Beware the flood..." Shorai frowned. "Flood? What flood?" Suddenly, water shot out of the pool...

Kimmy heard a noise and looked northward. She saw a tubular water stream rising into the air. Then she grabbed her gear and Mach Biked it. Meanwhile, Ensio battled water demons. Nothing was effective to anybody, but they fought anyway. Team Shorai was winning, until a giant water monster emerged. It assaulted Ensio vigorously, and nearly caused it to faint. But then... "Take it, Mufala!"

"URRRUNNNNNGH!" roared the mighty beast, as he Mega Evolved and proceeded to completely annihilate it. It didn't stand a chance. Then, the water stopped. "Shorai, all you alright?" "Yes, just a bit shaken. What was that thing?" "I don't know, but it looked like Kyogre. But that's impossible, I caught him years ago! Unless... hmmmm. Could something else be at fault?" Shorai stared at the Champ...

...who told her, "Nevertheless, keep going with your journey. I'll ask Prof. Birch about this." "Alright then. Come on, Ensio!" Ensio admired the Swampert in front of him, as did Mufala to the Mudkip. Mufala offered him a Pop-Tart, saluted, and wished him good luck. Then, they went their separate ways. (WHEW! Finally! Perhaps you'd like to continue?)

(I'm always here so late! Sure, go ahead.)

(I feel like I'm messing up your story. Nevertheless...) After battling several trainers, Shorai, Ensio, and Sapphire made it to Petalburg. They visited a Pokemon Center to heal up, and then looked around town. Eventually, they visited the gym, only to be told by the leader that they couldn't challenge. "What do you mean I can't challenge your gym? Who ever heard of such nonsense?" ...

Norman looked at the girl in disappointment. "You and your Pokemon aren't ready yet. Come back when you have four Gym Badges. Then we'll talk." Shorai mumbled under her breath as she left, "Hmph, no good Norman. No wonder Kimmy beat him so easily." Next, Shorai went to Wally's home, where he saw a Gallade sparring against a buff green-haired man. The two stopped and greeted their guest. ...

"Welcome, little girl!" spoke the buff man. "I am Wally, and this is my Gallade." "The pleasure is all mine, Shorai." She was amazed. "How did you know my name?" "I am Gallade." He stopped. "I see you've caught a special Ralts. Let's see it." Shorai called Sapphire out. (S)He looked up at Gallade in awe. "A fine warrior indeed. Train this one well. One day, it may be as strong as me." ...

Wally called out, "Alright Gallade, let's get back to it. 15 years, and we still haven't caught up to Kimmy! See you later, girly!" "As you wish, Master." As the men were men, Shorai saw herself out. Before she left town, however, she decided to use the Pokemon-Amie. Immediately, she began petting and feeding Ensio and Sapphire. They liked it, and she did too. Unfortunately, Shorai overdid it...

You see, Shorai loves her Pokemon very much. Sometimes, like now, things get out of hand. Anyway... Shorai began petting Ensio. He liked it. Then she touched his cheeks, his sweet spot. Ensio really liked it. Shoai then began rubbing his cheeks very much. Eventually, Ensio was so relaxed, he fell asleep. Shorai then moved on to Sapphire. She too didn't stand a chance, and fainted from joy. ...

HOWEVER... They soon awoke, ready for battle! The team then hit the beach, battled some people, checked out Mr. Briney's pad, and then prepared for Petalburg Woods. Once in, Shorai noticed all the Pokemon around her. They were flying all over! A few Cascoons and Silcoons were just staring at her. She battled every Pokemon except them. Just as it looked like she was done, however... (Your turn?)

(That's up to you. I'm a master at writing nonsense to pass the time! Like so:) Shorai reentered the forest. She passed through with almost no effort. On the other side, she saw a flower shop. She decided to enter it. Inside, she saw many different floras. Every kind of plant was there. Then, way up on the wall, she saw a sign depicting Kimmy. She asked the lady why that picture was there. ...

The lady answered, "Kimmy is the Heroine of the Hoenn! We love her! Plus, she's a Master Gardener! But she doesn't come here anymore." Shorai was curious. "Why's that?" Everyone suddenly looked at Shorai, as the counter lady answered with a grin, "BECAUSE! WE TRIED TICKLING HER!" Suddenly everyone leapt at Shorai. However, she was no mere victim. With her team's help, she KO'd everyone and won.

"OK, that's it! What's going on here!?!" Shorai screamed, running outside. "Sola! I know you're here! Tell me! Tell me what is going on!" "Very well then..." (See? Nonsense. Anyhow, work your magic, Lexi.)

(Go ahead. I mean, it's really up to you. All this talk of Pokemon makes me want to play it, but I'll stay if you want me to.)

(I should at least write something here.) Shorai assessed the situation. Nothing could be done. Or so it seemed... Our heroine ordered her team to remove the rocks. Ensio sprayed through them, Sapphire levitated them, and Spinach grossed them. Fighting alongside the workers in the Rest House, Team Shorai quickly unblocked the entrance. Many people ran out in joy, and thanked her for her help.

However, dozens of screaming Whismur soon flew out of the cave. Once again, Shorai fought alongside the crew to hold the line. By the time the smoke cleared, dozens of Whismur lay KO'd, as Team Shorai stood victorious. The Chief thanked Shorai, and gave her a special gift. "From me to you," he explained. "You've earned it." "What is it?" "Ah, that's the fun part! Now, good luck, young miss!"

(Last post) Shorai examined the small box object in her hand. "What could it be?" she wondered. "What greatness lies contained within such a contraption?" Suddenly, Sapphire took hold of the object. She was very happy to see this thing, as evident from her wiggling and cheerful expression. "What is it, Sapphire?" Shorai asked. "Box, box!" answered the Ralts. "Box, good!" Shorai contemplated.

(Sorry for the delay. School.) Roxanne clapped. "Congratulations, little girl! You've won. Here's your Gym Badge and a TM you'll never look at, much less use!" Shorai took both presents. "Thank you Roxanne. Now if you'll excuse me, I must be off." "Take care!" Once at the exit, Gym Man congratulated Shorai as she saw her name under Roxanne's Certified Trainers. She saw Kimmy's name at the top.

Once at the PokeCenter, Shorai healed everyone. Then, when she was just about to leave town, Kimmy flew in on a Skarmory. "Aye Silva!" the Champion exclaimed "Hold up now!" "Awaaheee!" the steel bird cried. Kimmy turned to Shorai. "I heard about your victory on the DexNav. Boy, news sure travels fast. Why, when I was a girl..." Shorai made a face, before Kimmy continued. "But never mind that..

"Let's go celebrate, Soon-to-be-Champ!" And with that, they flew off on Silva towards a far away field. When they landed, Shorai noticed the many different berry trees. "What is this place?" she asked. "This is my secret garden, where I grow every kind of berry possible. I've spent years crafting it, and it's nearly complete. But, enough about me. Let's get something to eat!" They went inside..

And saw an apron-clad Gardevoir cooking! "Welcome Kimmy," she greeted. "Your pizza is ready." "Thank you Becca." Becca smiled at Shorai. "Congratulations, Ms. Shorai. You've worked hard." "Thanks." Shorai looked down. "But there's something I need to tell you." Becca nodded and untied her apron. "Yes, I already know. Well, let's see it then." Shorai presented the box. Becca examined it.

"Kimmy, I believe she's found it." The Champion stopped eating a pizza slice and looked up. She slowly felt the box before snapping it open. Inside, lay a flower. "At last," spoke Kimmy "The legendary Flower Berry. It's ours!" She looked at Shorai. "May I take this?" Shorai nodded. Gleely, Kimmy ran outside. Moments late, she returned with a present. "Here, it's dangerous to go alone. Take this.

Kimmy gave Shorai a flower pin to wear. "Thanks Kimmy." Shorai said, puzzled. "I'll keep it safe." "As it will with you. Now, may I see how you've been training your Pokemon?" Shorai was taken aback. "You want to battle ME? That's not fair!" Kimmy laughed. "Sorry! I meant, may I see your Pokemon?" Shorai sighed in relief. "Yes." Ensio was brought out. Mufala admired his growth and gave him..

a Pop-Tart. Next came Sapphire, who proceeded to light up the whole room. She looked up at Becca, inspired by her presence. Becca smiled and pat her on the head. Then there was Spinach. Kimmy hid behind the couch while listening to his tale. Finally, Kimmy asked, "So Shorai, where's your next destination?" (At long last, it is your turn. I'm sorry for hijacking your story. I wanted to make up.)

"Well, it was really something, let me tell ya, Enzers. I didn't know WHAT was going on, all I knew was that I got bigger. Oh, and I needed to eat more Pop-Tarts! Yeah, can't forget them! You know, the whole reason Kimmy and I started our journey together was because of Pop-Tarts." "Really? That's amazing!" "Yeah, but I'll tell you that later. Looks like you're leavin'. See ya!" "Bye!"

"Sure Shorai, I'll fly you over. Just be careful, Dewfordians have some crazy trends!" "OK, thanks!" "Aye, Silva! To Dewford!" "Awaaheeeee!" cried the Flying Steel Machine. Once in Dewford, Shorai continued her journey. She turned to Kimmy and bowed. Kimmy spoke up. "So I guess this is where we part ways again, eh?" (Your turn.)

(You can't make this easy for me, can you? Ha! I'm only half-kidding!) Shorai and co. began to move out. Naturally, many more wild Pokemon jumped them, and they naturally defeated them all. Once out, Shorai taught the Dewfordians a new phrase. From now on, Blue Orb Festivals were in, while Honey Parties were out. Shorai then decided to challenge Brawly's Gym. Before she did though, she thought.

Maybe her team wasn't strong enough? Better safe than sorry! And with that, she began battling every Trainer on the beach and every Pokemom in Granite Cave. Thirty minutes later, everyone but Team Shorai had fainted. Shorai was ready. She approached the Gym. Just as she was about to enter, Sapphire pushed her. Before Shorai could question it, she saw a Trainer fly out the entrance. She knew...

The battle ahead would be dangerous, but she was ready! Shorai burst into the Gym, yelling her warrior cry as she beat everyone. Then she arrived at Brawly. "Woah there, dudette!" the strong surfer exclaimed. "You're really packing! Well, let's get this bodacious battle bumpin'!" To make a long story short, it was a great battle. Ensio and Sapphire carried the team, annihilating all the...

Fighting-types with ease. In a matter of minutes, Brawly was blown away, beaten. "Woah woah woah! That battle was gnarly, man! Here, take this badge! You earned it!" "Thanks, uhh, bro. You really are...swood." "Yeah! Hey, good luck, dudette!" And so, Shorai had won another badge! After writing her name on tne Certified Trainer list and saying goodbye to Gym Man, she was off. Outside...

She thought to herself, "Hmmm, come to think of it, I wish Kimmy was here. She could fly me somewhere new. How else can I get off this island?" Suddenly, Shorai heard a someone laughing. She turned and saw a Tentacool tickling a ♀Swimmer to death. Shorai ordered Sapphire to beat it. She did. The swimmer thanked Shorai and gave her a ride to Slateport. (Your turn. I feel bad for writing so much.)

(Sorry for the delay. Sure. After all, I already won all the Master Contests and beat Lissia!)

(So did I. I'm just letting you know what I did in Alpha Sapphire. Also, the 3DS Notifications don't update automatically.)

(OK, but whose turn is it? I thought you were asking me the contest question before you proceeded. If you want me to make something up, I'll do it.) (By the way, as you probably know already, I don't like using your characters. I can, sure, but Shorai and her team are your people. I don't want to mess up the plans you have for them, like with this contest part we'll write about.)

Shorai looked at the paintings on display. She noticed how Kimmy won every contest with a constume-changing Pikachu. She thought this was weird, but moved on. As Shorai went downstairs, a crazy blue-haired girl ran up to her. "Oh, you're so cute!" she exclaimed "Hi, I'm Lissia, but you can call me Lana." "Oh, hello. I'm Shorai, and I'm going to..." "You should enter a contest!" "Well, I would"

"Well, let's go!" Lana interrupted. Then she grabbed Shorai and took her to a changing room. Shorai tried to protest, but Lana wouldn't listen, and tickled Shorai until she was a mess of laughter. Then she put Shorai into a pink contest costume and sent her on her way. Humiliated and embarrassed, Shorai entered Akiko into a Cuteness competition. Meanwhile, Akiko sent a telepathic message for help.

Back in Littleroot, Becca's ears perked up. She heard Akiko's message and warned Kimmy. The Champion gathered her team and rushed out. Akiko did her best in the contest. Her cuteness was no match for the other Normal Rank contenders. She and Shorai tried to drag it out, but had to hurry. They won the contest, and went back to the lobby, only to be dragged back into the dressing room by Lana...

Lana was estatic, and tickled Shorai even more. Our heroine screamed, desperately trying to escape, her Pokemon team trapped as well. Just then, Kimmy burst in to the rescue! She chopped Lana on the shoulder, KOing her. Then she helped Shorai up. "Thanks," she gasped. "That girl's a monster!" "I know," Kimmy answered "She tried to do the same to me. It seems all these years without me have...

driven her mad." Kimmy shook her head, then looked at Shorai. "Don't let this discourage you, Shorai, from joining the contest scene. It really is quite fun. In fact, hold on a moment." Kimmy ran off and came back with a Pokeball. "Here," she said "This is my special Contest Pikachu. She can show you the ropes if you need her to." "Thanks. I'll be sure to try later." "Now, as for Lana...

I'll make sure to take care of her." Kimmy then called for Kevin, her Machamp. He bent down, picked up the KO'd woman, and threw her over his shoulder. Kimmy looked away. "I'm sorry we keep meeting like this, Shorai. This is your adventure, not mine. I need to let you fight your own battles." Kimmy turned back. "But anyway, I'll see you later. Take care!" And off she went. Shorai stood there...

thinking about what had happened. Then she shook herself out of it and continued on her way. Meanwhile, on a faraway isle, Lana woke up tied to berry tree. "What, what is this? Help!" "So, you're still into tickling little girls, eh Lana?" Lana's eyes grew wide. "No. No, it can't be. Kimmy?" "Yes, it's me. Perhaps I should give you some of your own medicine?" That's when a Ninetails appeared.

"Catdelia, you know what to do." "Abuuwahh!" answered the Ninetails with a grin. Immediately, she began tickling Lana vigorously. Lana laughed like never before, but to no avail. Right before she passed out, Catdelia stopped. Kimmy told Lana, "If I EVER find out you've done this to anybody again, there will be consequences. Understand?" Lana nodded, and then fainted. When she woke up, she was...

...in a Pokemon Center. She remembered Kimmy's words, and vowed to change. She would see Shorai again, no doubt, but things would be different. Nevertheless, Shorai continued her adventure. (WHEW! Your turn. Again, sorry for taking your story, and this part was actually true to me. Anyway, it's all yours.)

Mauville spread out before them. It was a vast city, unlike any other in Hoenn. But, it was not always this way. The women entered the city and searched all over for the Time Gear, knowing full well the legendaries had them. Still, there may be some clues... "Sola, look," Shorai cried "A mirror shop!" "It is indeed one, but how does it advance the mission?" The lady at the counter cheered...

"Reflect! Reflect! You must reflect!" Sola took a closer look and saw a note on the wall behind her. It read: "To unlock the secret, And you, I don't beguile, Go out to the field, And befriend a Mawile." "Well let's go then!" Shorai exclaimed, but Sola stopped her. "Wait, anyone could have posted that. Besides, you have a gym to beat." "Of course! But we really should try the note's advice...

(Darn! Post deleted! Summary time!) Shorai made quick work of Wattson's Gym. He was no match for Ensio's dual-typing. "Waho! I'm beaten! Wahaha! Here, take this badge!" "Thanks Mr. Wattson!" Shorai went back to sign her name, when she saw Sola about to attack Gym Guy. They quickly left...

"What was that for?" asked Shorai. Sola answered, "I don't like him. He's following you everywhere. Make no mistake, he's trouble." "Him? Naw! He just greets everyone!" "Hmmm, so you think. Regardless, time to move on." (Your turn. Where do we go from here?)

Shorai took on the Winstrate Family. She beat them all. They were rude, and told her how much better their son was, even if he wasn't the Champion. The team smashed some rocks and traveled north. They had to take a detour through Fiery Pass to avoid the desert. Inside the cave, they heard a girl's cries. "What's wrong, little girl?" asked Shorai. The girl answered through sobs, "M-My mommy...

and daddy... I lost my mommy and daddy! Please, *sniff* help me find them." "Awww, poor thing!" stated Shorai "Don't worry, we'll help you. Right guys?" The team cheered in agreement, while Sola frowned. She didn't like this, but she knew the girl needed help. Outside the cave, Shorai continued battling trainers. She soon met a weird guy in a fedora who gave her a secret base. She thanked him.

"Let's stop here and rest a moment," stated Sola "We need to keep up our strength." So, the team stayed at an old lady's cottage. Said old woman didn't want them to leave, so she tried to keep them in bed. It didn't work. Next, the team tackled Ash Valley. They had to move quick, lest they develop lung cancer and suffer a terrible fate. Too many Spidnas appeared and fainted. Too many Ninja Boys
