Trapinch Gifted at Level 20 SPOILER: Click to show This unusually small Trapinch is obsessed with dusty, dry dirt; unlike her friends who are obsessed with fighting. Why do a boring long battle when you can dig, kick dirt around, or stomp footprints into the dirt? Dirt is the BEST!

Flareon Caught at Level 13 SPOILER: Click to show Swoosh, crash, bang - You can tell when this little guy is coming. Whether it’s tripping over his paws, a rock, or a non existent thing that just so happened to be there - he’s a klutz! Though that’s not all, he seems to be bad luck all around… He tries to be helpful, honest! …It just doesn’t usually work. Flareon tries to keep his head up, but even he knows when he’s defeated - sulking seems so much better than causing trouble.

[Revelation]

The second hand slowly marched on, clicking away as it finished circle after circle. Luke’s foot tapped in time to the rhythmic sound as he sat and waited. His opponent had apparently forfeit in the last round, so he had had some free time watching the other matches or getting some food.

Instead, here he sat.

The back room he was in had a few benches and lockers in it. It was pretty bare, but it mostly was just used for a holding spot for trainers while they finished up preparations for another battle. Most people weren't here for more than 20 minutes, let alone a full hour.

Luke stared down at the cement floor between his legs. His arms were folded across his knees, cutting off circulation to his lower legs. Still, even through the pins and needles, he stared.

“Luke? Lucas Windsor?”

The man shot up, eyes blinking wildly. He shook his head, trying to clear his head as the door opened.

“Luke?” The previously muffled voice became clear as a man stepped forward. Built short but sturdy, the headset on his round head suggested that he was tournament staff.

“Yeah, that’s me.” Luke cleared his throat after the gravely response left his throat. He stood up, staggering a bit as he realized his legs were numb. “Is it time?”

“Yessir. It is time indeed. You ready for this?”

Luke snorted. “I want to know that too.” He rubbed his legs for a second to get the blood flowing. He looked up at the concerned worker and offered a mischievous grin. “How about we go find out now?”

---

Luke walked out onto the arena field, the roaring crowd even louder than the ones before. The tall trainer looked up to the stands and was surprised to see that the house was fully packed. Even the nose-bleed seats in the upper corners of the stands were filled to the brim.

“I guess that’s what happens when you get near the end,” he quietly told himself.

He had been allowed two pokemon this time, which was basically what he really had anyway. He liked the trapinch, but was still connecting with it. Still, picking which one went first would be big. And, even though this arena was filled with lush greenery and a sparkling blue pond, he knew who had to be his start.

“Okay, Alina, let’s go!”

The litwick appeared in a ball of light, the sentient candle looking around at the new location. She cooed softly as another roar came from the crowd, shaking both animal and man.

“Its okay, Alina. You know how this goes. Just get ready to go as soon as I say, okay?”

Alina looked back at her trainer, yellow eyes shimmering with concern. Luke offered her a warm smile to try and calm her, but his eyes were already scouting the land. Trees to his right, water to his left. There was a bit of land available across the pond, acting almost like a miniature island. Depending on the foe, that could be a huge boon for them. Or, if he was able to get crafty, it might help him as well. Either way, though, he had to be ready for whatever creature Alina had to go against.

The thought of his opponent caught his attention. He looked directly across the field, right to the doors where his foe should walk through. They hadn’t opened yet, meaning they weren’t quite here. That did nothing to help his nerves. Luke cracked his knuckles, one at a time.

He had made it this far. He was going to do his damn best to keep on going.
