Notes: I enjoy the Elite Four. I also love the name Shiten-ou, but I'll just use Elite Four throughout this story. I don't own Pokemon. I only control Ixen and his very odd attitude.
~LAVENDER~TOWN~
Yaoban kept a careful eye on what happened outside his Poké Ball. None of the guards dared to touch his fiery ball in fear of incineration. Clamps were used but failed when the material melted on contacted. If he or any of his other comrades were taken from their trainer, the Charizard heated his container, forcing his ball open and the flames to escape. The Black Market learned quickly to not cross the dangerous Pokémon.
Hikaru and Chiyu were the only ones out of their balls, but the Riolu was chained up and kept in a cell while the Marshtomp was locked in a tank of water and had no way of breaking out. Both Pokémon could see their trainer in his own cell. Hikaru found it ridiculous that Ixen was still asleep, but there was nothing they could do to wake him without notifying the guards.
Whenever Tiehun was in his Poké Ball, it kept a psycho-magnetic force field up to prevent anyone from bothering it. It was busy with gathering as much information as possible from the building they were kept in. Being very reserved, it was allowed in and out of its ball freely. The Metang was even allowed access to wander the area as long as there was someone available to follow the shiny Pokémon. Currently, Tiehun was uncovering where all the halls led in case they could escape.
Longjia remained in her Poké Ball with Yaoban. A sandstorm had kicked up in her ball and no one dared to open it in fear of what might happen. They had learned from the Charizard that forcing the boy's Pokémon out would be disastrous. She hoped that Wulong was fine and would be back to help them soon.
Their Poké Balls suspended in the air above a table. She peered down from her spot and stared at the Pokédex, Pokégear, Trainer Card, and Blue's fake badges. On the wall, Ixen's backpack was hung up. Nobody went through it because Yaoban was adamant about spitting fire at anyone who tried to open it. The Pupitar smirked when Sheen came in with a triumphant grin.
"So I beat a brat with four badges. I'll just be taking them now. No point in having badges if he's not going to be challenging any more gyms." He laughed at the poor boy, but was shoved out of the way.
"It's no surprise to me that you failed miserably to the hands of this mere ten-year-old boy." Belle picked up the fake Rainbow Badge and ignored the few cinders that landed near her. "This makes me wonder if he defeated me as a three-badge or four-badge trainer. Probably three seeing as how desperate he was to win."
"So he did thwart you and your lab experiments," Sheen scoffed. "And you're reprimanding me?"
"Of course. I at least have a back-up lab. You and your useless transmitters are of no use to me. Keep planting those things around. It's very quite noticeable, you ugly brute." Sheen fumed as the lady turned her back on him. She went to Ixen's cell and touched the sleeping boy's face. "Such a cute expression. Too bad you turned down my offer when I gave it to you. You could have become an executive already. At least you could have replaced that third bratty executive we have now."
Ixen mumbled in his sleep. "No, muh… I don' wan' to go. The class is full o' idiots. Yaoban an' I will… stay…" The boy began drooling and Belle was forced to let go. Sheen began to laugh uncontrollably, causing him to back into the table. His hand reached backwards to support him but he touched the Pokédex. "Don't touch that!" The boy bolted up suddenly and felt something wet sliding down along his chin. He quickly wiped it up before stretching and getting to his feet. When he finally became serious, he glared dangerously at Sheen. "Don't touch my Pokédex!"
Belle smiled coyly. "So that machine is Professor Oak's greatest invention. Such a waste of material, I say, but it can come in handy." She went to pick it up, but Yaoban spat fire directly onto the lady to warn her not to get any closer.
Taking a good look around him, Ixen judged the situation to be workable. There was a bed, toilet, and chair. That was enough for him to stay there if he had to, but he had no intentions of remaining in captivity. He rolled his eyes and double-checked his surroundings again, making sure to pick out what his Pokémon were doing. Noticing Tiehun gone, he went to the bars and frowned at his captors. "Don't tell me you have my Metang somewhere," he whined. Tiehun, you're really clever!
Sheen straightened up and smirked at the boy. "Your Metang really doesn't care much about you. He's been helping with our guards and stuff. A useful Pokémon, that one. As for everyone else in your party, completely useless! You can't even make them listen for a second." He tapped on the water tank and Chiyu rammed his head into the glass wall out of annoyance.
Even Chiyu is riled up, Ixen thought. I'd better wait until Tiehun gets back before doing anything though. I might as well milk as much information as I can then. "Leave my team alone. Do whatever you want to me, but just let them be."
"It's that kind of nobility that gets people into all sorts of trouble, Ixen," Belle stated as she picked up his Trainer Card. "Born in Viridian City but raised in Blackthorn City. Such an attitude could only belong to a child who has no idea what the city is like." Belle looked at him coldly and made the boy pause. "I'll tell you now that the city is ran by those with money, power, and the ambition to be the best. You only need two of those three things to survive, but having all three makes you invincible." She pulled the boy's face up.
"So you're saying I lack those three things?" Ixen pulled himself away.
"On the contrary, you have ambition and a power of your own. So I'm going to offer you this again. Why not join the Black Market?"
"What! You can't be serious about letting this brat become my equal." Sheen had been taunting Hikaru and now turned to glare at the Dragon Tamer. This opening gave Hikaru a chance to ram his body into the bars forcefully. The man jumped and backed away from the angry Riolu.
"Hikaru!" Ixen frowned and looked at the ground. "There's no point in fighting him. It's a waste of time and energy." I need you ready for battle. He turned to Belle and stretched upwards. "I'm getting tired of this place anyways. Let me out and I'll do whatever I can, but on my own terms."
"I knew you were a smart lad. If we're lucky, you can work as my lab assistant. The first thing I want to do is to take apart this Pokédex." Belle unlocked his cell and went over to the table to pick up the machine. As she reached for it, Yaoban spat another fireball directly at her.
"That's my first condition," Ixen said coolly. "The Pokédex stays with me."
"Fine," the lady scowled, "but you must give up your gym badges."
Ixen pretended to be annoyed at that. "But I worked so hard to get them!" Looking at them, he turned his head away proudly as Belle pocketed them. "Fine, take them. Now free my Pokémon!"
"Impatient, aren't you, brat?" Sheen took out his keys and finally freed Chiyu and Hikaru from their prison. "You'd better be grateful that I'm letting you two useless things out."
Chiyu froze the chains around Hikaru and the Riolu quickly broke free. He threatened to attack the executive, but Ixen stood between them. "Hikaru, Chiyu, stand down." You'll get your chances later. Sensing their trainer's thoughts, both Pokémon quickly calmed themselves but remained beside the Dragon Tamer.
Tiehun returned from its exploration and discovered its trainer was out. The Metang gave the trainer a quizzical look but noticed the menacing glare Hikaru was giving Sheen. The Pokémon was happily greeted by Belle and had to put up with the lady's babbling about experiments. "I'll be able to figure out the cause of shiny Pokémon soon. There's no way the boss will turn down Ixen's potential as my lab assistant."
"Don't push it…" Ixen looked at his Poké Balls carefully and gingerly touched Yaoban's ball. "You're really angry, aren't you? I'll have to change your ball since there's no way this one can handle your flames for too long." He went ahead and clipped new Poké Balls to his belt. As he did so, he sensed some type of trouble outside. "There's something going on out there. It sounds like it's coming from down the hall."
"My lab!" Belle panicked and ran out, but not after commanding to Sheen, "Escort Ixen to a better room, you useless ogre! I have business to attend to."
"Crazy woman bossing me around…" Sheen turned to Ixen and looked at the boy with disgust. "Hurry up and gather your things. I don't have time to babysit a brat!"
"You won't have to," Ixen muttered. He knocked the back of his hand into Longjia's ball and released her causing the sandstorm to spread into the entire room. In the mess, Yaoban released himself as Tiehun put up a protective barrier around the group so the flames wouldn't swallow them. "Let's get going!" He returned everyone into a new ball but let Chiyu and Hikaru run alongside him.
Taking this chance to get some revenge, Riolu took advantage of the sandstorm and kicked Sheen into the cell he had been in. Chiyu pulled the door closed and the two quickly returned to their trainer. Both shared a quick smirk as Tiehun navigated them out of the dangerous building. Ixen paused as they climbed higher up the floors.
"Ghosts! Ghosts are haunting the base! Everybody get out!" The mad rush of people made it easy for them to slip by without notice. Only when Ixen spotted the exit that he noticed that this panic was bothersome. So many workers wanted to leave so a large mob made getting to the door impossible.
Thinking quickly, Ixen decided to continue up the stairs. "We'll fly out of here! It's the only chance we've got." On the second floor, he noticed things were slightly hectic, but not like he expected it to be. People were rushing back and forth, but they seemed to be working on something.
"The Poké Flute ratings are here, sir!"
"You're on air, Fern!"
"Welcome to channel 18.5K! This is DJ Fern with today's 'Let's All Sing' show! Today we'll be playing a mysterious tune all the way from Sinnoh!"
Ixen watched in amazement, but decided it would be best to keep moving. The radio workers were too busy to notice him, so he continued upward to the roof of the Kanto broadcasting tower. "Okay, Yaoban!" He was about to reach down to his belt, but a voice beside the boy caused him to jump.
"I expected you to be a much more impressive trainer." Ixen turned and saw an old woman holding onto a Golbat.
"Hey! It's dangerous hanging out over the city like that!"
"I expected you to be a lot more like your cousin too," the lady remarked. "I can take care of myself, you bloody brat! Don't underestimate my ghosts!"
The earlier comment had made the boy pause. He looked at her carefully and simply asked, "Which cousin?" After a while, he bluntly said, "That Golbat isn't even a ghost."
"Respect your elders! I don't see how you're going to be a top trainer without any manners for your seniors. Even after I went through all that trouble to gather Ghost Pokémon to rescue you! Honestly, youths these days…"
It's like I'm always being told I lack manner, Ixen dejectedly thought. He bowed his head. "Sorry, ma'am. I'm just surprised, that's all." The boy peered down the tower and gulped. "You will be okay, right? Maybe a better-suited Pokémon could… uh, you know?"
"Nothing like you." The old crow shook her head and seemed to be talking to herself. "Honestly! I don't know why you had me help this spineless brat, Lance!"
"He's a special trainer," another voice stated.
The startled boy turned around and happily smiled at the great Dragon Tamer. "Lance! I haven't seen you in years!"
"You shouldn't be so careless," the red-haired trainer said as he threw the boy his trench coat. "This belongs to you, I suppose."
"My jacket? This means Wulong is with you!" The boy excitedly looked for his Dragonair but was surprised when a Dragonite flew upwards towards him. "Wulong! You evolved again." He paused and turned to Lance, bowing his head. "Thanks, Lance." He faced the old woman and bowed too. "You too."
"If you want to thank me, you'd show your gratefulness with more respect. I expected a lot out of you and ended up with nothing. Not even some backbone. Are you an idiot or something?" Hikaru chuckled and Ixen scratched his head apologetically. "No use complaining about that now, I suppose. Let's hurry up! My arm is starting to kill me."
"What?" Ixen looked up to his cousin in confusion.
"I asked Agatha to train you for a while."
"But what about you? I mean, the clan has been wondering where you've been. Clair wants to battle you again! I want to battle you for the first time! You can't just disappear again!"
"I have many things to do and so do you. I was surprised to encounter you like this, but this wasn't too bad. Keep taking care of your Charizard as well as your other Pokémon, Ixen." Lance smirked at him encouragingly. "You might even surpass me if you try hard enough. Just don't go pushing yourself too far again," he said noting the boy's broken arm.
Ixen glumly stared at the trench coat in his hands. Deciding this was no time to spend depressed, he put it on and straightened his cap and goggles. "Sure thing, Lance." He climbed over the railing and got onto Wulong after returning all of his Pokémon. "There are a lot of people I want to fight and defeat, including the gym leaders, Clair, and the Pokédex Holders. I'll reach the level of Champion, Lance, just you wait." He lowered his head so nobody could see what he was thinking through his burning eyes. He and Wulong quickly turned around to face Agatha. "I'm ready to go. Don't pass out on me or anything, old bat."
The old woman finally smiled at the young boy. "You've got a lot of nerve to be saying that to me. We'll see how long you can last my torturous training session." Ixen looked back at Lance and decided to make his resolve firm. He didn't answer, but the experienced trainer started south. When they had traveled far enough away, Agatha looked back at the serious trainer. "You really must be special if he wants me to train you. Just don't think you'll beat me so easily. I only lose to the weak but clever Oaks."
Trying his best to become positive again, Ixen smirked. "So Green and Professor beat you? Let's see if I can be an exception to this family tradition."
Agatha chuckled. "I'm starting to like you a bit more, kid."
~PAL~PARK~
"Man up! Compared to the last exercise, this should be nothing!"
Ixen whimpered when his left arm reached its limit. "It hurts too much!" he whined. Why am I doing push-ups with my Pokémon? He looked at his team noticed they had finished long before him. He collapsed onto the ground when Agatha smacked the back of his legs with her cane.
"It's broken, not dying!"
The boy got into a sitting position and scowled. "It needs another three weeks to heal! You can't expect me to be using my arm when it's like this! It's impossible!"
"What was that, young man?" The enraged lady frightened the boy as she waved her cane around frantically.
"N-never mind," the boy stuttered. I don't want to get hit again.
"Hmph, I thought so. Now go fetch some water!" Agatha threw an empty metal bucket at the boy's head. The boy's Pokémon stood up from their break and went to fetch more empty buckets. "Raise the bucket above you head on your way back. Don't you dare spill a drop! If you do, go back and bring me a full bucket!"
"I know the drill!" Ixen stomped off towards the freshwater pond in the back of the park. The boy looked at his team and noticed that they weren't as bad off as he was. Sometimes I wish I were a Pokémon…
Hikaru laughed at the trainer. "You wouldn't even last as a Pokémon."
"Good point…" The Dragon Tamer knelt at the edge of the pond and swiped the bucket into the water. "Let's just get this done and finish training then. How is it that we're even allowed in Pal Park for this 'camping' trip?" For the past few days, he had been required to sleep on the sandy beach of the ocean area and was getting fed up with pitching a tent he wasn't allowed access to.
Tiehun easily lifted its bucket into the air. "Agatha can control people and Pokémon with that bracelet she has."
"Lance can control dragons too!" Wulong stated. "Just not me because Ixen has stronger powers."
This nearly startled the boy and it took him quite a while before he could rebalance himself. "Powers? I don't know…" He looked down at the ground, thinking about what was said to him by the Black Market. Money, power, and ambition… "I'm just a simple Dragon Tamer," he stated firmly.
"Simple or not, we've still got a lot to do," Yaoban pointed out as he balanced a full bucket on top of Longjia's head. The Charizard quickly fetched his water and did his best to lift it up.
The Pupitar thanked him and tried to look at their trainer. "We've got to do our best too!"
Chiyu sloppily ran forward but managed to not spill a thing. "Wherever we go, whatever we do, we'll always manage!"
"I guess…" Ixen sighed and shifted most of the weight to his right hand. "I've been falling behind all of you anyways. I'll catch up and we'll be able to do anything!" He increased his pace and did his best to keep the bucket from tipping.
Agatha waited for him impatiently and scowled at him once the boy returned. "Today's trip took longer than yesterday! Stop loafing around and start boiling the water."
"I know already! Stop nagging me." The Dragon Tamer withstood a smart blow to his sensitive left arm. Luckily, he had already set the bucket down. Ixen helped tamed Yaoban's fire and set the bucket to boil on its own.
"Back to training! This time, I want your Riolu to battle my Gengar."
"Hikaru doesn't know any attacks that can touch a ghost Pokémon," Ixen pointed out.
"Which is why you'll learn!" She used her cane to straighten the boy's knees and prepare him. "You won't accomplish a thing by complaining." She chuckled at the challenge. "Even more, you will have to find my Gengar before it kills you."
The Dragon Tamer stiffened in surprise. "What! You won't actually have it kill me, will you? That's too harsh!"
"Get used it! You have until you pass out, which will probably be tomorrow morning. Until then, your other Pokémon will be spending time with me." The old trainer guided the Pokémon away from their trainer and towards the park gate. She looked back at Ixen and yelled at him as he reached for his Pokédex. "Stop relying on that useless machine! That old coot Oak was crazy when he decided to create such an unnecessary piece of junk!"
Ixen reluctantly tossed his Pokédex to Wulong and set off to find the Gengar. "You're calling Professor a crazy old coot?" he muttered, resulting in the fifth rock being thrown at him that afternoon. "How is it that you heard me!"
Hikaru shook his head and began climbing over the mountainous area without the Dragon Tamer. "Let's just hurry up before you hurt yourself even more."
The boy scowled and chased after the Riolu. "It'll be impossible to look for a Pokémon I know nothing about. What do we know about ghosts, Hikaru?" The Pokémon was unlikely to respond to the idiotic trainer so Ixen settled on just following and thinking on his own.
They reached the pond and Ixen took the chance to stare at his reflection. Hikaru splashed water onto his own face and took a chance to wait for his trainer's thoughts. The boy pulled up his goggles and held his breath before dunking his head underwater. As he looked around, he noticed something weird with his eyewear so sat back up and fidgeted with it without taking it off.
"What did Blue do to my goggles?"
Hikaru looked the object over and began turning a small knob he found on the side. "Was this here before? What does it do?"
The goggles zoomed in and out making vision blurry, as well as nauseating, for the boy. "Hikaru! I think this is a Silph Scope! With this, I can see what I normally can't." He faced the pond of water again and filtered everything until he could see what was at the bottom. "I guess I owe Blue again, but this will be helpful, especially for this task. This Silph Scope coupled with your growing aura-reading skills will allow us to find and defeat that Gengar in no time! Let's get moving!" He slipped into the water and began swimming to the other side.
The Riolu watched the boy and decided to just climb over the rocks so he could avoid getting wet. Idiot trainer… He landed safely on the ground and waited for Ixen to climb out of the water.
The boy spat and wrung out his trench coat. "The water wasn't as clean as I thought. I guess not all water can match up to the pond back home. I can see why Agatha wanted me to purify it."
Hikaru rolled his eyes and noticed something moving along the shadows. He used an Aura Sphere, but managed only hitting the mountain wall. Seeing how there was nothing, he decided to move onwards towards the forest section of the park. Ixen hurriedly ran beside the Riolu after checking out the area once more for anything suspicious.
I caught that shadow too, but it moved too fast for me to catch it with the scope. "Hikaru! Foresight!" Ixen continued using that move to uncover everything they could. They continued for hours and it wasn't until Ixen felt the energy drain from him that he decided to stop. "It's no use. I don't know where the Gengar is. We've searched each area already and I'm beginning to feel faint…" The boy lurched forward, but caught himself before he fell.
The Riolu closed his eyes and did his best to find even the slightest oddity in the park. The only thing weird he noticed was his trainer's cold temperature. "Are you feeling okay?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" Ixen shrugged. He sat and began wobbling back and forth. He reached his left hand up to touch the Silph Scope but found he couldn't move it. "On a second thought, I think I'm in trouble." He willed his arm to move and even tried standing up again. He was stuck on the ground and the boy began to get frustrated. Ixen filtered the Silph Scope again and looked around. "Hikaru! Blaze Kick on my shadow!" Forcing himself to move with all of his might, Ixen jumped up as the burning cinders flew around him.
The Gengar split from the boy's shadow and leapt into the darkness surrounding them. Not going to be taken off guard, Hikaru used Sunny Day to brighten up the area around them. He quickly spotted the Gengar and pounced on it.
"Don't let it into your shadow, Hikaru!" Ixen fumbled with his goggles and struggled to find a flashlight. He didn't turn it on, but made sure to activate the infrared sensor. An attack to touch a ghost… I can only think of Blaze Kick! He just had the Riolu rely on that attack before realizing the Gengar was slipping closer to the edge of the sunlit area. "Hikaru! Back up!"
Gengar escaped and Hikaru closed his eyes to read the aura around them. He felt pain rise up in his chest and collapsed to the ground. The Riolu tried to stand back up and shake it off, but every few minutes, the pain would return at an even greater magnitude. Ixen knelt down and had his Pokémon slowly breathe.
"Hang in there, Hikaru." The Dragon Tamer frowned when he realized what was happening. Curse… I don't have any other Pokémon with me right now, so we'll have to win fast. Looking around, Ixen noticed the sunny weather wearing off. The darkness came closer and the eager Gengar watched the sitting ducks. Not willing to lose so pathetically, the Dragon Tamer stood up, ready to recklessly endanger himself.
"What are you doing?" Hikaru looked up at his trainer and saw the boy smile at him warmly.
If an opening comes, take it, Hikaru. Ixen looked back at the Gengar and charged into the ghost. The boy only went through the being as the Gengar surrounded its victim in a dark mist. "Okay, bad idea!" Ixen tried struggling out of its grasp and only succeeded in angering the Gengar even more. "Hikaru! Attack!"
Not wanting to hurt his trainer, the Riolu stood up and only watched as the boy floated off the ground and was being pulled into the sea area. "Ixen!" Despite the discomfort, Hikaru ran after the two and pulled on Ixen's leg. "Don't give up so easily!"
"Attack!" Ixen merely replied. He clenched his teeth and opened one eye to look at the Riolu. "I don't care if it's a Blaze Kick or even…" The Gengar came out of the boy's shadow and licked him so he wouldn't struggle anymore. The paralyzed boy stiffened and found it impossible to fight back.
Hikaru still hesitated and finally attacked when he heard the waves crashing nearby. He quickly used Foresight and predicted where the Gengar would be as he launched himself on his trainer. "Ixen! You idiot! Keep trying!" He desperately sank his teeth onto the boy's cast and the Gengar leapt out of there.
Ixen fell and winced, but was glad to be free. The Gengar tried to reenter the boy's shadow and recover, but Hikaru used an intense Blaze Kick. Stalled, the Gengar had no choice but to back away and try again when the Pokémon dropped his guard. Hikaru continued kicking at the ghost and tripped over Ixen's bag. The Riolu reached inside to find a Parlyz Heal or even some Heal Powder.
The ghost finally realized Hikaru's intentions and fought back to keep the Riolu from getting a better vantage point. Hikaru quickly pulled back and took out as much as he could from the backpack. Seeing all of the junk spread out, the Riolu wondered why the idiot trainer never used the items. Please don't tell me you don't have anything to cure your paralysis! He picked up an odd box and noticed many disks inside. Hikaru wondered what it was for but was tripped by the insistent Gengar.
"Say goodnight!" The Gengar prepared to use a devastating Shadow Punch on the defenseless Riolu.
Hikaru slipped a purple disk into the case's reader and hoped it would provide a decent distraction. The Riolu was surprised when the CD broke, so he desperately clawed the ghost as it got closer. Seeing the move Shadow Claw, Gengar sank into the shadows and laughed at the Pokémon's lucky accident. Hikaru stood up and was about to attack with his new attack, but paused when Agatha finally reappeared. Seeing the battle over, Hikaru resumed his search for medicine.
Ixen coughed and sputtered when he was forced to swallow a dose of Heal Powder mixed with EnergyPowder. "Next time, mix it with water," the trainer grimaced as he made sure the grimy mess sticking to his tongue was gone. "Great job though, Hikaru."
Agatha chuckled at the boy. "Don't think you've won the battle. It was just dumb luck that saved you."
The Dragon Tamer wiped his mouth and looked at her in determination. "Then why not have a real battle with me?" His team stood behind him, ready to fight.
"You won't win how you are now. Maybe when you stop relying on cheap toys to help you I'll consider it then. For now, I can see your training paid off. If it didn't, you'd probably need a hospital by now." Agatha threw the Pokédex at the boy.
Ixen panicked and caught it with his left hand, surprised that his arm was no longer broken. He stared at it in disbelief and tested it. "Thank you…"
"Don't get used to it, you useless idiot. I promised Lance that I'd help toughen you up and now I'm done. Pitch the tent, fetch more water, and that'll be all for today." Her Gengar tossed the tent to Ixen and the boy caught the heavy bag.
The Dragon Tamer blinked and decided it wasn't so bad. He smiled and quickly got to work. "Sure," he said, "you know it'll be easier if you help though." As he searched for a clear space for the tent, he carefully dodged the rock aimed at his head. He turned back and smirked smugly as he caught the second stone.
As he resumed his work, Agatha only smirked as she sat with her Gengar. This boy really is an interesting trainer, Lance. I had hoped to invoke his synchronization but I guess that can wait for our real battle.

Ixen's Journal: Training With His Seniors
Everybody has their own unique style of training. I can't help but feel a bit overwhelmed being next to them. Red is an all-out kind of battler. Green is an all-out battler too, but they're styles are completely different. Red sees the big picture while Green is very detail-oriented making it very difficult to battle the both of them at once. Blue is very sly and I guess it's what makes me strive to be better. I don't want to get caught in her tricks after all. Yellow isn't the battling type but she uses what she has to her advantage. I can't say about much about Gold and Silver, but Crystal is very much based on accuracy. She is a pro at catching Pokémon after all. I wonder if I can develop my own style.
