I'll be honest, I know no French, but I do know some German and Japanese.

I'm alos too practical in battles, bt I hope you enjoy this crazy couple I cooked up ;)

1- Too Amazed

It was a long day for the gym leaders of Striaton and not because of battle. They'd neglected their restaurant for far too long and the trainers were getting the better of them, so they decided to resume business and add totally new cuisines to the menu, but for a new reason all together.

How this all started...

"Go, Pansage, use Grass Pledge!" Cilan yelled to his young monkey pal.

"How on earth did he learn that?!" Chilli asked in amazement while listening to the band Busted on his new I-pod, a gift from a pal.

Pansage then went ahead and used the attack, a flurry of leaves following suit as it barricaded a young Purrloin called Pippin by his trainer, Mila. The huge cage of grass began to actually topple over onto the young cat. Cilan was this close to winning with his Pansage in strategic concentration.

Sadly, Chilli seemed to be over-excited about everything and screamed "Timber!" as it began to fall down. Pippin, alerted by the noise, suddenly started using Scratch onto the whole thing, as if it were catnip. Cilan just watched in horror as the whole grass barricade just fell down in pieces. They were in such trouble.

Seeing this as an advantage, Mila then yelled out to him "Okay, Pip! Use Fury Swipes!" Pippin did as told, when Cilan then yelled "Use Seed Bomb, Pansage!" Pansage was going to do that, but Pippin was faster and bruised the poor one so badly. "Now, use Pursuit!" yelled Mila as he then used a hard one, knocking out Pansage, ending the battle.

The brothers looked at her in shock. Chilli too. The other brothers gave her a standing ovation while Cilan smiled and then said "Congratulations, trainer! Here's the Trio Badge!" pinning it onto the 8 year old trainer. "Gee thanks Cilan!" she exclaimed while scampering off to the Pokémon centre for a revival.

When they were out of sight, Cilan actually pinned down his brother "You moron! I was this close to winning and you screwed it all up! I told you a million times not to scream when you listen to those boy bands!" Cress was worried, but supported Cilan quietly. "Okay, I'm sorry!" yelled Chilli. "Sorry, my foot. We've lost on one too many occasions. How on earth are we to maintain the restaurant and gym now?!"

Chilli did look a little remorseful, but Cilan had had it losing so many times. Money was of shortage and they were tired as it is.

"Now you'll be head waiter and dishwasher! I want every single order meticulously taken and every dish sparkling. Any complaints and I'm personally asking Alder to relieve you of your gym status. Got it?!" he yelled. Chilli almost cried seeing this, his brother usually wasn't so angry. Cress tried to intervene, but was cut short. "No defences. He's been acting too stupid." Cilan snapped, following which he quietly retired.

So was the sad saga of their life. Even otherwise, they were missing their restaurant and did want a few nice things, so it was fair, probably.

Word then spread round that tourists were flocking Unova by the hordes and the triplets were ecstatic. More business for them means more gymming! And a new I-phone for Cress! They then worked extra hard to see that everyone had a great time and occasionally dabbled in minor Pokémon battles for a minimal fee of $3.

It started off and things soared pretty well. Their business was doing great and tourists were craving their excellent food. So things were going okay, except for Chilli who was still to do that rotten work till February which was next year and 3 months away, more accurately.

That day, a lot of customers came over so it was impossible for Chilli to cater to all of them. "Please, brother, Chilli does need a hand! We have to help him!" Cress pleaded. Cilan was rather resentful, after all that nearly cost them their life per se. But being the kind sol he was, he relented. Not without its conditions, though.

"Alright. But you'll have to do the honours."

Cress was delighted in giving the hot-head a hand. All the same, he often thought about travelling, something they couldn't do because of their gym priorities and because Skyla didn't ferry people yet. Even then, he seemed interested in knowing more about a new culture and a new life and more importantly, how life was for other people. He too was a kind soul, albeit rather quiet and shy. So who knew what destiny was handing him?

"Escuse moi, sil vous plait?" a feminine, raspy voice was heard.

Cress turned round and got the shock of his life, but was yet to control it. He had no idea who this wonderful woman was, in purple hair and a stunning mauve ball gown- but he knew something- she was pretty. Then again, most of them did have passing attractions for random customers, so it was momentary- at least he felt that way. Swallowing hard, he walked up to the table in a dignified, respectable manner.

"Yes madame, may I take your order?..."
