Chapter 12: Unforgotten Remnants

Sapphire's POV

I recognized that serious tone anywhere. But what was he doing here? I turned towards the voice and saw Ruby's father walking towards me with his signature stoic persona and usual red long sleeve jacket. I could hardly believe that he was here. Last I saw him was in Hoenn where he was still searching for clues about his son's whereabouts as well as managing the Petalburg gym.

"So you've already made it here. Did you acquire the Plain Badge yet?" Norman inquired.

"Yup, just yesterday." I presented the diamond-shaped emblem pinned on my bag.

"I see. Are you heading to Ecruteak City or are you just walking around Goldenrod, by yourself?"

Wait. By myself? I shifted my head left to right and found out Lapis was gone. (Ha! He run away! XD) Where did he run off to? He was just beside me a minute ago. Even Azura was nowhere to be found. Momo, who was on my shoulder the whole time, didn't see them go either.

"Is there something wrong?" Norman asked, noticing my restlessness.

"N-nothing." I replied as I turned back to him. It was odd that Lapis would suddenly just leave, but I guess he'd turn up sooner or later. I had more important things in mind. "Mr. Norman? Why're ya here?"

"I was on my way to Ecruteak City to ask help from Morty," replied Norman.

"…With what?" I got curious as to what business he had with the Mystic Seer. Gold already tried learning about Ruby's location from him, but to no avail. Even if Norman asked the same thing, I doubted that he'd arrive at a different conclusion.

"A few days ago, Caroline found out that some of Ruby's belongings went missing, his pokedex. Pokenav as well as the case containing his badges."

"M-missing? But how?" I was shocked. When Ruby vanished, he left behind his pokemon along with his backpack containing those items. Coco and Nana took the bag with them when Zuzu carried me to Mauville after I passed out. Then they handed it over to Mr. Norman and Auntie, leaving it in their care. I found it odd. Ruby's stuff wouldn't just disappear just like that, unless someone actually stole them.

"That's what I wanted to find out. I brought his backpack along to aide Morty." Norman motioned to a pokemon behind him.

It was a pink ovoid creature with an egg in its pouch. A Chansey. I recognized that pokemon, having seen them frequently assisting Nurse Joy in the pokemon smiled at me sweetly and squeaked in a gentle voice while holding a brown bag. "Chansey."

I held back my laughter, but a smile still curved on my face. I could only imagine what Ruby would think if he saw his dad with a cute, not to mention pink pokemon. He would have freaked. "I didn't know you have a Chansey."

Norman crossed his arms and glanced at the egg pokemon. "My wife keeps worrying that I'm not looking after myself properly so she asked Nurse Joy to give me one of her Chanseys."

"So that's why…" I could understand what Auntie was thinking. Mr. Norman has been pushing himself ever since Ruby disappeared. It's only natural that she wanted someone to look after him in her place. I guess I now know where Ruby got that trait from.

"Back to my second question, where are you headed now? To Ecruteak City?"

Norman broke my trail of thought and then I remembered that I haven't answered him that time. "A-Actually, I was plannin' on spending another day here. I still have fourteen days left and five badges to go. A day here wouldn't hurt."

"…That's a good amount time." Norman pondered for a few moments. "Perhaps, I could postpone my visit to Ecruteak as well. I did have plans to visit our old home and maybe stay for the night… If you wish, you could also spend the night there, and tomorrow I'll fly you to Ecruteak City on Ruvi."

My eyes grew big. Me? Visit Ruby's home here in Goldenrod? I didn't know what to say. I never really thought I could see the house he used to live in. Now that I'm getting the chance, I could hardly contain myself. "You betcha!"

"Alright then." Norman chuckled at my enthusiasm and then led me through the many turns and curves of the residential area. The Chansey was steadily keeping up, behind him. It was a long walk but I didn't feel tired. I was filled with vigor and intrigue.

But every time I ventured further through the streets, I felt Goldenrod was getting bigger than ever. The houses were small compared to the buildings in the main district, and they almost seem invisible in the shadows of those humongous skyscrapers.

"We're here." Norman stopped and looked back at me.

I cocked my head to the side and peered at the house in front of him. My mouth curved into a grin at the sight. It was a simple one-storey building, much smaller than the one they now have in Hoenn. It was situated in the corner of the block and next to it was already the forest.

"It was rented out a couple of years back, but they moved out about a month ago so now no one lives here." Norman walked up to the front door and unlocked it. "It's a little dusty and requires some cleaning up. Are you up for it?"

"Sure am!" I exclaimed and did a fist pump.

"MINCCI!" Momo did one as well as she squeaked in absolute excitement. Cleaning was her specialty after all. I giggled. She was eager to clean while I just wanted to see what the inside was like.

Norman opened the door and welcomed us in. Immediately, clouds of dust greeted us. I covered my nose before it would cause me to sneeze.

Momo took out a white bandana and apron from her personal fashion case and wore it. She handed me a bandana as well. It was my size and almost similar to the one I used to wear. The thing is; it was pink. Dammit.

There were brooms and other cleaning equipment in the closet. Norman and Chansey were the master bedroom while Momo and I were in the living room. Most of the walls were bare but there were some impressions that there used to be something hanging there. I imagined framed picture of Ruby as a child together with his pokemon.

It made me smile just thinking about what his life was like. My mind slowly visualized the room like in a dream. Faint echoes of childish laughter filled the place as he would run around and jump on the sofa. The wide circular rug spread on the floor where he would roll and wrestle with Nana and Coco. After all, when he was little kid, Ruby was really mischievous and energetic. But that was before the Salamence incident.

"Sapphire." Norman called me from the open door, leading to the kitchen. "I'm going out to buy some food for lunch. The room you'll be staying is at the end of the hall… You probably know whose room it is."

Ruby's? That was the first thing that popped into my mind.I stood there, stunned at the realization, as the Petalburg Gym leader headed for the front door and exited.

"Mi!" Momo nudged my leg, snapping me out of my daze. Then she bounded towards the room we were going to clean next. I hesitantly followed her to end of the hall and opened the door.

It was as a small room fit for a child but the bed was big enough for someone my age. There was a desk and a few empty wooden shelves and drawers. The atmosphere was calm and silent. The only sound I could hear was the sweeping of Momo's tail on the wooden floor, but even that was faint as a whisper.

So this is Ruby's room, I said to myself as I walked around and scanned the place. My head began to imagine things contrary to when I was in the living room. The place would be decorated just like the secret base; his prized multi-colored portfolios aligned on the shelves, his sewing kit and hand-made pokemon outfits lying across the desk, and to top it all off, plushies and cushions sitting on every corner of the room.

I laughed under my breath. Ruby has been with me for a long time that I can now predict his various quirks and interests. That fact was made me smile but at the same time, it struck a deep wound in my heart. The more I think about him, the more I wanted to see him, and the more I want him to be by my side once again.

I needed to shift my thoughts away from the subject.

I raised the window to let the dust clouds out and the smell of the forest in. The midmorning wind felt warm and cool at the same time. Pidgeys chirped and flew about in the trees. I kind of missed the scenic view of nature even though I was only in the city for less than two days.

"Minccino!" Momo yelled at me for slacking off. She was working hard but all I did was daydream. I decided to finish up the cleaning before Norman would be back.

With Momo's enthusiastic efforts and my …err—help, we were done. I wiped the sweat and dirt off my face and sat down on the bed. I took a breather and cleared my head as another wave of wind blew in from the window and fluttered my brown locks.

"Chansey!" The pink egg pokemon came in and handed me some pillows and sheets to place on the bed. I consequently accepted them with thanks. The Chansey smiled brightly and merrily went out of the room.

Momo helped me make the bed and neaten the edges. She was quite good at this housekeeping thing, plus she seemed to be enjoying it. I'm suddenly really grateful that Momo tagged along on this trip.

Just then, the wind blew harder and carried inside dead leaves and Pidgey feathers. Momo was furious. She scurried towards the window and hurriedly tried to close it. But she was too small to do it. I lent her a hand and pushed down the frame.

*Shheeenn…*

A flicker of light jolted my attention towards the forest. For some reason, I felt my heart race. I reopened the window and got out with some difficulty. Momo was surprised by my actions but chose to follow me nonetheless. We both rushed to the forest in pursuit of the mysterious glow that I just saw. My eyes could hardly keep up with it as it slowly faded into the cover of the thick woods.

I ran as fast as my legs could take me, moving passed the tall trees that stood all around. The luminance was fast disappearing as it easily evaded the obstacles in its way. At last, I stopped at a clearing and huffed to catch my breath. I completely lost sight of the strange light. I raised my head and shifted my eyes left and right to try and find it, but I saw nothing. It was only me and Momo. Did I just imagine it?

I ventured around for a few minutes, wondering where I was. It was a wide grassy clearing with several large rocks scattered here and there. Some were shattered into pieces. Others were split in half or just cracked while the rest were still whole. The only thing they all had in common was that they were covered in moss.

"I'm surprised that you stumbled unto this place."...

I turned towards the voice and saw Norman with his Vigoroth and Chansey stepping out of the woods and into the clearing. That's the second time he took me by surprise. I really didn't think he'd be here.

He placed a hand on one of the boulders and slowly observed the open field. His eyes gazed deeply at every direction. It was as though he knew this area. I walked up to him and decided to ask, "Mr. Norman? Do ya know this place?"

Norman turned to me with a soft yet solemn expression. "This… is where Ruby and I used to do battle training."

I held my breath as I recalled the story that Auntie told me on Ruby's birthday. This was it. This was the place where Ruby's father trained him in pokemon battles. I stood speechless as Norman walked around and seemed to reminisce in the memories that were embedded here.

Yesterday, I was too overwhelmed by the city sights and the importance of my gym battle that I didn't mind the little details hidden in Goldenrod. The details concerning Ruby and the kind of life he had. It was only at this moment that I fully understand the place he once called home.

After a while, all of us returned to the house and I changed into fresh clothes. I had already forgotten about the light that led me to training grounds in the first place.

We had lunch. It was a quiet meal, only simple topics were in our conversation like if the room was okay or was the food good. I didn't ask if he found any clues concerning Ruby's disappearance. I doubted there were any. Besides, I didn't want to dampen the atmosphere.

When I finished eating, I went back to the room and called up dad to tell him where I was. He sounded glad that I was doing well and that Norman was there. I told him him about Goldenrod City and the various places I got to see today.

The next few hours were silent. There was not much to do and Lapis didn't turn up either. Arceus! I scratched my head in annoyance as to why I was even looking for him. It's his fault for suddenly disappearing. He didn't even leave a number so I could call him on my pokegear. How was I supposed to communicate him regarding the dark-type that I needed? I stood up and decided to take a walk in Goldenrod City to pass the time.

I got permission from Norman and left, bringing only my trainer necessities with me, specifically my pokemon, spare pokeballs and pokedex. First, I went back to the pokemon center to remove the reservation to my room. I asked Nurse Joy if she saw my troublesome companion but it seems like she hasn't. I strolled around the park and even dropped by the train station just to have a peek of what it looked like.

Hours passed. I felt as though I circled the whole city. Still I saw no signs of Lapis. Dammit! Where did he run off to?! Night was falling. The sky was growing dark and the evening star was already out. Whether he freaking turns up or not, I'm finding myself a dark-type.

"Wild gal!"

A different sort of annoyance called out to me. I'd rather not turn and look. It was obvious who it was. I tried to hasten my pace as I walked away, but he caught up to me.

"Hey, you're still here in Goldenrod?" Senior Gold blocked my path while grinning widely.

"Yeah."

He looked around as if he was looking for something or someone. "It seems Flower boy isn't here."

"Ya got that right." I said sarcastically.

"So you're free then?" Gold's eyes flickered with some sort of evil plot; one I knew that I shouldn't be a part of. I didn't say a word and faced a different direction, attempting to escape. But my persistent senior stood in my way with a cunning grin. "Aww, C'mon it'll be fun!"

Gold tried to drag me by the arm, but I stood stubbornly on my spot. "Where're ya plannin' ta take me?"

"It is must do in Goldenrod City!" My senior persuaded me to go with him. He wouldn't say where because it was some sort of surprise. I didn't want to go but I knew he wasn't going to give up. I had no choice but to go.

That was my first mistake.

Gold took me to the Game Corner which now doubled as the biggest bar in the city. There were a lot of people. The music was loud and a weird strong smell filled the air. Alcohol. I went to places like this before, but it was because of Senior Blue. Ruby never took me because he knew that I never had any interest nor do I want to have any. I'd rather sit up a tree somewhere than do whatever that they do here.

Gold was right at home in this place. He started conversing with some guys holding long sticks similar to what he always carries. The talk was getting longer. I couldn't hear what they were saying but they were laughing about something. I stood a feet away, thinking about whether I should get out or wait for senior Gold. The former sounded really tempting, but there were too many people for me to find the exit. I sighed. Gold was engrossed in his own world. It was as though he suddenly forgot about me.

But I was wrong.

He turned back to me and introduced me to his billiard buddies whose names I couldn't quite make out under the roaring sounds. I acted as though I heard them all right just to hasten things. Then they offered me to join them in a game of billiard but I refused. I didn't know how nor did I want to try and learn. If I were given one of those sticks, I would have used it to beat up Gold and shove it up his rear.

In the end, they treated me to some non-alcoholic drinks at the bar while they started their friendly game which was turning out to be a serious competition. I was alone, excluding Momo who was outside her pokeball to keep me company. Like me, she didn't like it here. The smell, the noise and the large crowds. It was suffocating. I needed to finish my drink and get the hell out of here.

"Hey, want another round?" I green-haired guy in a black jacket sat beside me and ordered some drinks.

"No, thank you." I replied with a tinge if contempt.

Another boy with a similar looking jacket took the vacant seat at my other side. By the way he looked at the first guy; I figured they knew each other. "Why not? We'll be the ones paying it. The drinks here are the best!"

I was in a bad mood. Company of strangers was not helping in the slightest. I refused them once again, but they were as persistent as Gold. They handed me a small glass of what smelled like something alcoholic. I was starting to get ticked off. Why won't they just leave me alone?!

"We already paid for it so just drink one glass."

"Yeah. Then we won't bother you."

"Fine!" I growled lowly and chugged down that so-called drink just to get rid of them.

For moment, the world felt like it was spinning. The music seemed to be growing silent and the flashy neon lights were fading into dullness. My vision was getting blurry. I didn't drink that much to get drunk. D-id they put some...thing i-in...

Normal POV

Everyone was absorbed in the rush and liveliness of the atmosphere. Streams of vibrant multi-colored lights flashed from the ceilings. The clanging of the billiard balls and cheery tunes of the slot machines were drowned in the booming dance music; even the small exchanges between people.

"Well, that was quick, hey Kobe?" The green haired boy chuckled.

"Yeah, sure was, Gaven." Kobe smirked and stared at the browned-haired girl who was leaning against the bar table, unconscious. "I thought it would have taken another minute or two."

"Arceus seems to be on our side today." Gaven grinned cunningly and reached out his hand towards the Sapphire.

*smack*

A grayish-white shadow slapped his hand away and crouched protectively on the girl's back. "Mincci!"

"Oh? What a cute little rodent…" Kobe grabbed the Minccino, only to be bitten in the process.

Seeing his partner yelp in pain, Gaven stood up and roughly jerked the chinchilla pokemon off, flinging the creature across the room.

"Damn, that…." Kobe clutched his hand and rubbed the bite marks that were deeply imprinted.

Gaven calmed his friend and turned his attention back to the girl. "Let's just hurry and—

*slam*

Just then the green-haired boy was forcibly kicked from behind. Before the other guy could see who it was, he was also assaulted by a fist to his face. Now both were knocked to the floor.

"The hell?!" Gaven raised his head, just to be pounced on by a snarling black canine with bone-like armor. Its dark growl and bared fangs prevented him from making any further movements.

"Gaven!" Kobe recovered from the blow and laid eyes on their attacker. It was a boy with jet-black hair and glaring blue eyes. On his shoulder perched the Minccino that bit him a minute ago.

"What are you doing?!" Gaven called out to his friend who wasn't moving at all as if he was petrified.

Kobe didn't reply. His face grew pale and he felt a dark chill rundown his back as he stared at the boy's cold zaffre blue eyes that seemed merciless as the deep ocean on the fiercest of storms.

"You should leave…" the raven-haired boy's voice sounded as deadly as the gaze from his eyes.

Kobe scrambled to his feet and grabbed his partner before rushing out. The Houndour returned to its trainer's side after seeing his prey flee from the scene.

"Nice job, Nyro." Lapis sighed in exasperation as he massaged his knuckles. "As much as I hate violence, I had no choice this time."

"Miniccino!'" Momo jumped off the boy's shoulder and hurriedly bounded to Sapphire's side. She nudged her to wake up but the girl was knocked out cold.

Lapis came over and placed a hand on the furry chinchilla. "Don't worry Momo. She'll be fine."

Momo still felt worried for her trainer's sake but there was not much she could do. She couldn't even protect Sapphire on her own. Her ears flopped and her tail hung lifelessly on the table's edge as she vowed that she'll definitely protect her next time.

"Let's just take her to the pokemon center for now." The black-haired boy carefully positioned the girl to face him. Then he placed her arm on his shoulder and was about to scoop her up in a princess carry, but Momo stopped him. She frowned and shook a finger, implying that she didn't approve of it.

"I'm already doing you a favor and…Arceus. Fine!" Lapis scoffed and turned around, wrapping the girl's arms around his neck and tucking his hands beneath Sapphire's legs. In the end he had to carry her by piggyback. The brunette mumbled in her sleep and unexpectedly tightened her grip around the boy's neck. Lapis kept a straight face as he whispered, "Just don't choke me on the way."

He gently lifted her up and shifted the weight on his back. It was that moment that Gold ran over to them. "Flower boy! What happened?!"

"She got drunk and passed out." Lapis simplified the actual event. Then he asked for Momo to get Sapphire's pokegear and hand it over to Gold. "Do her a favour and tell Norman that she'll be staying at the pokemon center tonight."

"N-Norman?! Ruby's dad?!" Gold said in disbelief, fumbling the communication device in his hands. "Why would I do that? You tell him yourself!"

"My hands are kind of full right now, if you haven't noticed." Lapis argued, showing the unconscious person on his back. "Just say that something came up that she had to sleep at the pokemon center again."

Gold was panicking but then he faced the blue-eyed boy. "Just what are you planning to do with my junior?" His tone was heavily implying.

"Nothing perverted, I assure you." Lapis remarked straightforwardly. "Just do as I say."

"Mi!" Momo jumped on his Lapis' head and clenched a small fist as if she was saying that she'll be the one to stand guard if he tries anything. "Minccino!"

Gold reluctantly agreed but he gave a last minute warning glare before Lapis left. *gulp* Now, was the hard part – telling Ruby's father.

A thin crescent moon shone in the starless sky. The evening streets were more peaceful in comparison to the busy mornings. The lampposts illuminated the darkness, guiding the way to their destination. Lapis exhaled deeply, breathing in the cold scentless air. Momo was lying on his head and the boy's Houndour was following closely at his side.

Sapphire stirred in her sleep and murmured, "…Ruby."

Lapis smiled glanced back at the girl whose head was leaning closely to his face. Her soft breaths still emitted a lingering smell of alcohol but her slumbering was tranquil and innocent as a child.

"Mincci!" Momo whacked the boy's head consecutively, making him turn his head back in front.

"I get it. I get it." Lapis grumbled. His head was facing forward but his eyes remained fixated on the girl. His deep blue orbs softened as he whispered to her. "…If only."

Sapphire stood alone at the secret base. It was extremely quiet and there was no sign of Ruby anywhere. She walked over to the two adjacent rooms to look for him. The first was empty. She went to the personalized grooming room and was suddenly grabbed from behind and then scooped off her feet.

"Ruby! Lemme go!" Sapphire flailed around wildly in the boy's arms.

Ruby tried to hold her as still as possible. "Calm down Sapph or I'll drop you."

Sapphire gradually stopped struggling and held on to the boy's neck. Her eyes averted his gaze and her head remained lowered to hide the red shade smudged across her face. Ruby chuckled and he carried her back to the main room of their secret base.

Once, he stopped walking, Sapphire muttered softly in an audible voice. "You can put me down now."

The crimson-eyed boy grinned happily with a slight chuckle. "Why would I?"

Sapphire mumbled in a sort of low growl. "I'm too heavy for ya…"

Ruby's grin widened even more into sly smile. "Maybe you're right…"

Before Sapphire could yell at him, Ruby wobbled around clumsily causing the girl to tighten her grip around his neck. In the second her face was close enough, Ruby pressed his lips against her and Sapphire found herself lost in the bliss of his warmth and tenderness. Even if it was a dream, it felt all too real for her.

Their lips soon parted and Sapphire nestled her head against the boy's shoulder as Ruby's forehead rested on hers.

"You know Sapph, this is what they call a Princess Carry." Ruby said in a gentle tone as he studied Sapphire's reaction. So far, she stayed silent and unmoving. Ruby chuckled and continued with something in mind. "…Some refer to it also as a Bridal carry."

That made Sapphire flinch. Her face immediately flushed redder than a Tamato berry. She buried her head unto to Ruby' shoulder and refused to show it. It was all amusing for Ruby if not for the growing tightness of the girl's hold on his neck.

"..S-Saph…"he desperately tried to word out her name.

Unfortunately, the brunette didn't seem too hear or notice his muffled cries. Ruby was getting light-headed. He stumbled back and accidentally slipped on a cushion lying on the floor.

*crash*

September 7th

Sapphire's eyes shot open. The first sight that greeted her was the face of a familiar boy sleeping beside her. His head rested on his arm that arched back, covering part of his black hair. The brunette got up, her eyes unwavering from the sight. She blinked a couple of times and poked the boy's cheek. "…Ruby?"

The lad stirred and weakly opened his eyes, revealing a deep shade of blue. Sapphire flinched, realizing that it wasn't Ruby. *smack* On the spur of the moment, she slapped the boy, jolting him awake and making him fall off the bed with a thud.

"Whatcha think yer doing?!" Sapphire yelled in shock.

Lapis sat up and rubbed the sore spot of his face. "What else? Sleeping."

"Why're ya sleeping here then?!"

"It's my room in the pokemon center." Lapis pointed out, still feeling the pain of the girl's slap. "I couldn't get another spare room since it was already really late."

Sapphire looked around and saw that she was in an unfamiliar place. It was not her quarters in the pokemon center. She returned her attention to Lapis as she narrowed her eyes. "…What did ya do to me, ya freakin' perverted stalker?!"

"Calm down. I didn't do anything. Momo has been standing guard all night for you." Lapis got up and motioned to a small furball sitting at the other side of the bed.

"Momo?" Sapphire turned her head towards the Minccino who continuously nodding off. Beneath her red shaded eyes, were dark gray bags, indicating that she hadn't slept at all. The blue-eyed lass patted her pokemon and thanked her for a job well-done. Then Momo just flopped unto the bed and passed out for some much needed sleep.

Afterwards, Sapphire tried to piece together the events that occurred that led her here. But everything was scrambled in a hazy blur. All she could recall so far was that she was supposed to stay over at Ruby's house for the night.

Seeing her confusion, Lapis approached her to explain things. "You went to the bar with Gold and got drugged by a couple of guys… But lucky for you, once again I came to your rescue."

The memories started flooding back. Sapphire growled. "Wait. You've been spyin' on me the whole time?! I thought I agreed that you'd travel with me, so did ya just disappear like that?!"

Lapis was calm under pressure. He took a deep breath and replied. "Let's just say I suddenly got the call of nature. When I got back, you were with some scary guy."

"Call of nature?! Why didn't ya go before we left the pokemon center?" Sapphire was fuming angrily. "And that afternoon, I was lookin' for ya, you didn't dare to show up. I thought you'd help me get a dark-type?"

"That afternoon, I was already trailing one. When I caught it and came back to you, Gold had already dragged you to some bar." Lapis answered and took out a green pokeball with red markings. "I got a Houndour using the Friend Ball that you gave me. I named him Nyro. I'll lend him to you for your battle at Ecruteak City."

Sapphire stared at the black canine inside the sphere and then looked up at Lapis. "I still don't understand why're ya doin' all this for me?"

Lapis handed her the pokeball and sat next to her on the bed. "I told you before, I have my reasons. But if you want to pay me back, I have something in mind that you could do."

Sapphire bit her lip and eyed him closely. "And that would be?"

"I want you to go to the Ho-oh festival in Ecruteak City with me."

End of Chapter 12

Lol. Don't kill me just yet Franticshippers. I've got a few more things planned.

I can't go with a Murkrow or Sneasel because Silver already has them and they are part of his main team.
It's hard getting an Umbreon, but that was one of my options.

Gengar and Misdreavus are ghost types not Dark. But nice choices.

I went with Houndour since I also have a few things in mind for it.
Another factor was giving a nickname.
btw. Nyro means Black/Dark. And it coincides with Lapis' name pattern for male.

Gaven and Kobe are random names I chose whilst looking at cooltrainer names.
