Chapter Two: Introductions
The first introduced himself as Ryan. He said he was 17 and training to be in the Elite Four. To quote him, "I'm only here because of my clone." He had ice-blue eyes and dark, collar-length brown hair. He was wearing jeans, a dark blue t-shirt that had a picture of a Dragonite on it, and brown hiking boots. He released his Pokémon to show me. He had a Jolteon, a Houndoom, a Larvitar, a Skarmory, a Totodile, and a Girafarig. He seemed really serious and responsible, but I knew I could trust him. And he communicated perfectly with his Houndoom. When I asked, he explained that he had the ability to speak to canine Pokémon. No doubt he had other abilities as well. He seemed very understanding, and was kind to his Pokémon. I was glad to have him on our side.
The second only called himself 'Martial Arts Master'. He had coal-black hair and deep brown eyes. He wore black pants and a white headband. He LOOKED like a Martial Arts Master; I'd give him that. He claimed to be sixteen and unbeatable in hand-to-hand combat; I decided not to prove the statement. His Pokémon were a Bulbasaur, a Cloyster, a Tentacruel, a Raichu, a Graveler, and a Magmar. Which made for a pretty well-rounded team. He seemed to understand his Pokémon well, and was very calm about the whole 'we have to fight clones' thing. He also acted very...well, 'fair'. When Kahleya made a comment that female Pokémon were better than male Pokémon, he kind of went ballistic, but I don't hold it against him.
The third said his name was 'DarkGhost', even spelling it out for me, like I didn't get it, and that he was 14. His black hair was short and mostly hidden under a yellow baseball cap. He, also, had brown eyes. His t-shirt was white, but he wore a yellow jacket over it. He wore jeans and yellow shoes. To quote Kahleya on him: "I bet I can guess what his favorite color is!" His Pokémon looked very strong, to boot. He had a Venusaur, a Blastoise, a Charizard, a Dragonite, a Butterfree, and a little tiny Pichu. When I commented on this he said his Pichu was invincible. This was another theory that I didn't want to test. He seemed really funny at first, but then got really quiet for a while. But a few minutes later he was back to being sarcastically funny again.
My comment to Kahleya? "Reminds me of you." With such strong Pokémon, I knew he'd be a welcome also.
Shortly after that, two more boys arrived. The first's name was Hiro, and he was 15. His eyes were light brown, and his short hair was black. Comment from Kahleya (you know there always is!): "They're all beginning to look alike, Sasha-chan." He wore a black jacket over a white t-shirt, jeans, and kinda messed-up black sneakers. His Pokémon looked like a pretty good team, as well. He had a Typhlosion, a Pidgeot, a Lapras, an Ampharos, and a Machamp. He said he was a video-game freak, which I suppose is a good thing. He didn't appear to have anything special about him, except the video-game thing. He was kind of short-tempered until he got the feel of everyone else, but after that he was pretty quiet.
The second boy, 18, was named Josh. His pokémon were quite formidable. Charizard, Dragonite, Tyranitar, Scizor, Pikachu, and the legendary Suicune. He had spiky black hair and brown eyes. "Just like all the rest," said Kahleya. He wore a white t-shirt, a short-sleeved blue jacket, and jeans. He seemed pretty funny, and by funny I mean he had a sense of humor.
I knew that the mirimages (short for mirror-images) of these trainers would also have these Pokémon, and would know everything these trainers did. I was sort of afraid. The clones would predict every move we made and have the counter move ready. But we HAD to win. We HAD to be victorious. The Pokémon world depended on us!

Sorry, but I had to point out the obvious here. Just about everyone in this chapter described themselves to look like Ash! Of course, that was probably their intent, but it was so strange I HAD to say something.-pkc
