Thank you Legendary Fairy and Fire Drastar for reviewing.
The Power Trials:
Chapter 3: The Power Stadium
"Anchor away!" A deep booming voice hit the air, and a burly man in a black and yellow captain's suit stepped out of the main cabin.
"Okay, people." He projected his voice clearly, and adjusted his cap. "This is it. We're here! You'll go down from those stairs there," He indicated a flight of stairs slowly folding from the ship's hull. "And onto the pier." He pointed to a large boardwalk to the side of it. "Mr. Harrison here will show you your places."
Harrison cleared his throat and made his way down the stairs and onto the boardwalk, and the people aboard the cruiser followed him.
"Doesn't look so welcoming," John muttered, gazing up at the steel dome. It was surrounded by a dense forest.
The group of people made their way across the boardwalk until they made a line before a small tent. There they each received card scanner keys from grim faced officials.
"These cards are the keys to your rooms," Harrison announced. "There is a number on the card that indicates your rooms. I will show you to the dorm lobby, and then you will have an hour to unpack and rest. After that I will show you the stadium, and you will be presented with your first task."
Eldon examined his card closely. It was white with blue and green stripes across the top, and below on the left was a red Pokeball emblem. The number 205 could be seen on the right. He was on the second floor.
As soon as everyone had taken their cards, they followed Harrison into the forest. Buzzing and chirping from different Bug Pokemon could be heard, and birdsong filled the air. The trees were green and alive and rustling with different kinds of Pokemon, and the air was crisp and cool. The group trudged through soft soil along a foot beaten path for twenty minutes, until they finally reached a large brick house that was facing the ocean.
"This is it," Harrison announced proudly. "The Stadium is right in front of the dorm's main entrance, so it'll be easy finding your way." With that, he began walking away towards the Power Stadium, and talk was erupting slowly amongst the group
"Wow, that was a short walk," John muttered sarcastically to Eldon, and they followed the others into glass sliding doors, the main entrance. Inside was a large, state-of-the-art lobby, furnished completely with a Romanesque carpet. On both the left and right walls there were floor to ceiling windows complete with light brown curtains. On the right side of the room was a large area scattered with armchairs, and on the left were some tables and chairs. A fifty-five inch plasma screen T.V. was attached to the wall on the right.
Eldon's eyes met the front middle of the room, and there were large double doors, opened up to a flight of stairs. With the other people, he began walking up the stairs. The first landing was a long hall with four doors on each side, and the second was the same. He walked through the hallway, seeing that a tall girl, John, a couple, a woman, and a boy, were following him. He supposed that they were all on the same floor, and quickly found Room 205. It was an ocean view room.
"Oh goody, I'm in Room 203," John observed, placing his card on a scanner near the side of the door. It slid open to the side and he walked in. Eldon copied him, and he stepped into the room as the door slid automatically shut behind him. It was a generic hotel room floor plan, short hallway with a bathroom on the left and a closet on the right. There was a bed against the right side of the wall in a small room and furniture on the right, with a balcony at the very front. It was very clean and fancy. Taking off his shoes, Eldon pushed open the glass sliding door to the balcony and stepped outside. The sky was foggy, and the sea seemed endless. After staring at the sea for a while, he lay on the bed and took a nap…
All contestants report to the stadium. I repeat, all contestants report to the stadium. Eldon took notice of a small loudspeaker at the top corner of the ceiling, and woke up immediately, putting his shoes back on and rushed out the door, nearly crashing into John.
"Woah," Eldon exclaimed, surprised.
"Dude, you wouldn't believe what I saw…" The rest of John's voice was muffled with people going out of their rooms and down the stairs.
"Wha?" Eldon asked.
"Nevermind. Tell you later."
And so they went down the stairs.
oOo
"Excellent," Said Harisson, smiling, as they appeared at the massive front entrance of the dome.
"Follow me," And he stepped up to two large glass doors, pressing his thumb on a fingerprint scanner. The doors slid smoothly open, and they all stepped in to experience a wave of air conditioning. A modern lobby could be seen, and there were armchairs and snack bars all over the place. There were three large elevators on the front of the room, and this was where Harrison led them to.
"This is the elevator for spectators," He said, pointing to the first. "The middle one is for challengers of the main tasks, and that one on the very right is a secret trial that you're not allowed to know now."
He cleared his throat, and then started speaking again. "The first trial will be split into three times. The first time will be for the first group of five people. Let me read out the names. They are: John Ocat, Megan Rayme, Alessandra Cesarini-"
A girl in a blue T-shirt, ice blue knee-length skirt, and black shoes broke in.
"Just call me Alex, please."
"Okay, Alex Cesarini, Markus Pearl, and…"
Eldon raised his eyebrows.
"Eldon Silver." Harisson swung his hand slowly towards the elevator doors. As if on cue, they slid open to reveal a large space with a floor to ceiling window.
"Enter."
R&R please.
