Fuschia City DESCRIPTION -Fuschia City is a city located in southwest Kanto. Its most distinguishing features are the Pal Park and the Poison-type Gym. Koga used to be the leader here before his daughter, Janine, took over. Route 15 leads into the city from the east, Route 18 from the west, and the beach of Route 19 is in the south. Bill's grandfather lives in Fuschia City. Pal Park replaces the closed-down Safari Zone. LOCATION -Fuschia City is located in southwest Kanto. PEOPLE - Fuchsia City is a more traditional city with the gym featuring a ninja-esque environment brought on by Koga, its original leader. RESOURCES/EVENTS - Fuchsia City Gym - The Fuschia City Gym is home to the Fuschia City Gym Leader, Ace Vendetta. He utilizes Bug-type Pokemon, a fitting successor to the City's long Poison affiliation - though the Gym itself has come a long way; nicknamed 'The Bughouse', it's a leafy and overgrown collection of mazes and cul-de-sacs, populated with stealthy understudies. Those that triumph against him win the Scarab Badge. Move Deleter - This man can make a Pokemon forget any move it has learned, even the rare HMs. If a trainer has a new move he or she wants to teach to their Pokemon, but can't overwrite an HM, this is the place to go. Pokemon Center / PokeMart - This city has both the Pokemon Center and PokeMart selling Great and Ultra Balls, along with Super and Hyper Potions, and Revives and Full Heals. MYTH/LORE - Other than being steeped in the ninja way, there are not major myths here.

βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ Ace had removed his obscuring hood once he and Lock was gotten out of the rain. However, the wind seemed to be blowing the clouds their way, so for the moment, they decided it would be best to take refuge in their gym. Ace's trip to Lavender had been as it always was; a mixture of sadness, regret and catharsis. But upon his return to his home, it was time to put the trip behind him, removing it from his mind until next year. He always thought about it, of course, in brief moments of wandering thoughts. But he was able to keep his head on straight for the most part, particularly when something was around to distract him. Unlocking the door to the building, the gym leader and his Tyrogue stepped through into the dense foliage that had overtaken the gym's interior. The entire place was abuzz - literally - with the hum of Ace's Bug-type team that he'd left to guard the place, but mostly to get some rest. He maneuvered himself with ease through the labyrinth of jungle terrain all around, coming to the section of the gym near the center, where he tended to await those who would challenge him. Here, he had a small machine set up to hold his travelling party - whom he referred to as his 'League Team', as he planned to one day use them against the Elite Four - while he used his Bug party for gym battles.
He smiled and held up Lock's pokeball, looking endearingly at his friend. Lock nodded to him, knowing it was time for a nap. "Ty, tyrogue." he said, vanishing into the pokeball. Ace unhooked the rest of his pokeballs from inside his coat (which were all set up on a rather ingenious device his old friend had designed for him), and looked up at the Bug-types of his that were beginning to swarm to his presence. He gave them a thumbs-up, and smiled warmly to them. "Good to see you all haven't burned the place down yet." he said jokingly. "A storm seems to have followed me home from Lavender, so I think we should stay inside today. Not that such is really a big issue. After all, we haven't got a whole lot else goin' on." He peered up at the ceiling, sighing. "What's happened to trainers these days? Are there just...none left who can make it this far? Maybe I should have checked to see what sort of positions were available in Viridian, or Pewter." He shrugged his shoulders, and smirked. He was kidding, of course. He loved it here in Fuchsia. But he did wish things would get a little more lively. ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ

"You really shouldn't take it personally when I say you have a nice arse." 
β β β
βββββββββββ It wasn't normally a long journey from the Plateau to most of the Kanto cities, especially on the back of a Charizard whose cruising speed was roughly equivalent to the 'HOS**TANGRYBRAVIARYONMYASS' speed of most Flying-types, but the southern sections of Kanto seemed to be having rather tumultous weather - Fuchsia, predictably, was in the midst of a rainstorm, and Teddy had Lucy slow down somewhat, not wanting her to fly straight into a lightning bolt because she was going too fast.
The landing could've gone smoother - more than a few people were going to be wondering what in the world happened to their lawns tomorrow - but once Teddy and Lucy were on the ground, they were out of the worst of it, though they quickly hurried into the nearest building (ironically, the Fuchsia Gym) to escape the worsening rain. Teddy shook his head from side to side, water flying everywhere, before Lucy got bored of being splashed and simply shot some flames at him, drying him out somewhat (though his eyebrows did end up a bit singed). "Huh . . . now there's luck. Unless Fuchsia's gained an Eden Project in the last few weeks, I think this must be the Gym. Bug-type." Lucy snorted somewhat dismissively, believing Bug-types to be beneath her - given her typing, not exactly far off for the majority either - and Teddy chuckled a little before casting an eye over the Gym, wondering if the Leader was around . . . βββββββββββ

βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββAs Ace sat staring off into space, listening to the sound of rain as it beat against the building, a slight noise caught his ear. The front door? He turned his head to Maya, his Scolipede, smirked, and lept up from his seat. After taking a casual seat on her back, he nodded up to her. The Megapede Pokemon twitched her antennae and scuttled away, following the path leading through the labyrinth of overgrown walls. Ace and all of his Pokemon knew the precise route to take in order to get from the main entrance to the center of the gym - even though there was a shortcut one could take from his podium to get back, he enjoyed the leisurely crawl - of course, it helped that he couldn't get lost.
After navigating the maze, Ace hopped off of Maya's back, and looked at who it was that had wandered into his garden. A somewhat regal-looking gentleman, accompanied by a discolored Charizard. In his mind, he winced - if this guy was here for a badge, he may well be already close to having it. But he didn't let it register on a visible level. Instead, he smirked broadly, and motioned to the two. "Ah, I thought I heard company. Welcome, both of you, to my Bughouse. He held his arms out wide as he gestured to their surroundings. After a moment, Ace paused, and placed a hand on his chin, brow furrowing in thought. "Now hang on...you seem somewhat familiar to me. I sense perhaps I've seen your face somewhere before, yet I can't place exactly where." He turned to Maya, whose antennae twitched in opposite directions for a moment - her way of shrugging without any shoulders. The Gym Leader shook his head, and turned back to the man. "Well, I'm sure I've seen you somewhere...at any rate, allow me to introduce myself. Ace Vendetta - although many refer to me as "Ace, the Rather Dashing." And you are?" ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ

β β β
βββββββββββ Teddy was contemplating having Lucy fly over the vegetation layer - weighing up the pros and cons of her potentially fire storming the whole place, given her more-than-slightly pyromaniacal tendencies - when Ace appeared, a rather impressive Scolipede by his side. He hid a smirk at the man's comment that he appeared familiar - he was going to enjoy this brief period, in which he could legitimately act offended no-one recognized him as a member of the Elite Four if he so wished - before introducing himself. "Very good to meet you, Mr Vendetta. Regent Theodore Artemis O'Donnell, of the Snowpoint O'Donnell's. You can call me Teddy. As for why you might recognize me, I am a member of the Indigo Elite Four, and a Fire-typer to boot. My winged friend here is called Lucifer, or Lucy for short." He gave a bow, while Lucy blew a slightly dismissive snort of flame Ace's way, her way of acknowledging the other man. Probably best for him not to take offense, given her often surly attitude. "I apologize if I've given you false hope for a challenger - the Plateau has had a distinct lack of challengers lately, and the Kanto Gyms seem to be similarly afflicted - but Lucy and myself have only stopped in because of the rain. I do hope you don't mind?" βββββββββββ

Always happy for the company. Suppose it's just as well that you aren't here for a badge, anyway - a Fire-typer and Elite Four member combined makes my Gym team less than pleased." He chuckled, and returned to his seat on Maya's back. He peered up at the Charizard, and nodded politely. "Although I do have another team that I take with me on trips. Even got a Charizard of my own among their ranks. Still, I doubt they're ready to take on such a prestigious opponent just yet. Hell, two of 'em are still babies - just haven't found the motivation to evolve yet, I guess. Not that I really mind, but it does make for an imbalanced group dynamic.
The Scolipede turned her head slightly, passing Ace a expectant glance. "Oh, of course. Suppose I should have introduced Maya here, as well. Ain't she a beaut?" He patted her affectionately, then allowed his arms to dangle at his sides. "A real shame about the weather. I haven't had a challenger in quite some time, and with this rain keeping me inside, I'm starting to go stir crazy. Heh...of all the times for me to sign up here, it had to be during the decline of training, eh?" ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ

 Shiori Ralston
Elite Four Member 4
Ice-type Specialist
"The Good of the Many Outweighs the Good of the One."
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"And so, I go on smiling. Whether I want to or not." ((Enter from Azalea)) Shiori and company had decided, whilst on the way to the Plateau, that they would stop by the ranch and see how everyone was. It seemed to be raining, which was just fine with Shiori and her Pokemon. They didn't mind the rain at all. Like a bolt of lightning, the golden dragon Pokemon shot through the sky and straight to the ground in a flash, like she always did, and when the flash of light faded, Shiori was standing in the rain, her Glaceon and Manaphy at her side and her Dragonair curling up into a coil behind her. She stood there for a moment, looking around and enjoying the feel of the water that hit her skin. She took in a deep breath and began to walk through her hometown, walking past the gym with her three Pokemon in tow. She could see in the distance a fence surrounding a rather large and clear landscape. She smiled and began to quicken her pace, now excited to see everyone again. She made her way around the fence and took out her key, opening a gate to allow her and the others to slip in before closing the gate behind her, not locking it. There were hardly any Pokemon in the fields, due to the rain, but the ones who were outside quickly saw Shiori and ran over to her, following her as she went inside.

βββββββββββ "I know what you mean - I myself am new to my role, and while battering fellow members of the Elite Four can be fun, it does lose its charm after a while." Teddy raised a hand in greeting to the Scolipede - a member of the so called 'Megapede' species of Pokemon was not something he wanted to offend by not paying it the due deference. "I don't believe in battling an opponent that has yet to reach its full potential - that, and stomping babies isn't exactly the most socially acceptable past-time. So you needn't worry about me challenging your alternate team to a battle - not least because my team can be somewhat . . . destructive, and your Gym's environs look rather combustible. As much as I intend on seeing how many times the League will rebuild the Gyms and the Plateau, I somehow don't think you'd appreciate it." βββββββββββ

"Aye, the place is something of a death trap when it comes to fire hazards, but truth be told, I'd welcome a chance for a little collateral damage if it meant seeing some action around here. Don't know what's gotten into trainers these days - shame I'm not one anymore." Leaning back in his insectile seat, he began to tap his feet in tune to a song his head. "But you may see me someday, perhaps sooner rather than later. I have been meaning to take a vacation to get some badges and try my hand at the League. Though... He paused, peering up at Maya, then turning his head to the maze where he'd emerged from, to see more of his Bugs beginning to emerge, wearing curious expressions. "It wouldn't feel right to leave these guys without someone to take care of them. Not to mention, with my luck, the day I left would be exactly when trainers would flood into town lookin' for a Scarab Badge." Shaking his head slowly, he began laughing to himself. It was true enough, whenever Ace began to really set out to do something, something got in his way. It was almost a curse. ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ

βββββββββββ "I know precisely what you mean - I expect there's a line stretching all around Kanto and back for the Plateau now that I'm not there. Sod's Law at work, eh? As for that vacation . . . I think I'd like to try my hand against you. Would be an interesting experience." Speaking of interesting, Teddy found himself unable to avoid glancing at Ace's scarred eye every now and then, and he figured that, rather than offend Ace by continuing to do so, he might as well come out and ask, to get it off his chest. "Do you mind if I ask a somewhat personal question? You don't have to answer if you don't wish it, it's merely my curiosity at work." βββββββββββ

βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββAce's eyebrow - the only one he really had - raised slowly, but his smirk remained. "Feel free, good sir. I'm not much of one for personal issues, anyway. Where's the fun in living if you keep everything to yourself? Ask away, and I'll do my best to answer." Ace already had a decent idea of what the man was going to ask. After all, usually when someone first met him, there were only a handful of questions they tended to ask him. Most of the time, the questions were about his injuries or his choice for training Bug types. Although, there were times when he was with his alternate team when people would ask why Lock or Bobacobra hadn't evolved yet...and, in one peculiar instance, an elderly woman near the edge of town had asked him if he had a girlfriend, which was a situation he'd narrowly avoided by passing off some malarkey about how he considered himself married to his work. But apart from that, Ace had grown accustomed to the types of questions people asked him. And he'd lost the right to be sensitive about it long ago, when he made the decision not to wear a patch of any type over it. In fact, he almost enjoyed how uncomfortable it made a lot of people, since so many people tried to play those ridiculous games of obtuse and avoidance. Ace, on the other hand, preferred people be honest with him. ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ

βββββββββββ Teddy nodded, much obliged to the man, though whether the good feelings between them would remain after he asked his question would remain to be seen. "Again, you don't have to answer if you don't wish to, but - how did you lose your eye? You seem a hardy chap, so I'm guessing it wasn't lost in an accident." Ace did indeed seem quite a hardy chap - not the sort of man you'd necessarily like to sit next to on a long Magnet Train ride home, but the sort of man you'd want on your side in a bar fight. He briefly wondered if the man knew his way around a sword - sparring partners were few and far between, after all - before shaking away such thoughts, returning his attention to the matter at hand. βββββββββββ

βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββThough Ace's smile remained, he sighed, and nodded. "I'm not surprised. Well, it's kind of a long story, so I'll sum it up for you. When I was a kid, I lived in Unova. This was during the golden days of those maniacs from Team Plasma - me and a couple of my close friends were in...what you might call a rival group. We'd cause them all kinds of hell, going out of our way to make examples out of N and his goons. Ah, those were the days. I remember one time, me and my buddy Cobalt...well, that was his nickname. We all had aliases back then, so we could communicate safely over the radio. But anyway, me and Cobalt were on our way back to headquarters, when three Plasma grunts showed up and started making trouble." As he told the story, Ace got back onto his feet, smiling broadly. It was clear he was enjoying the tale. "It was exemplary. Two of 'em cornered Cobalt, and had him outnumbered. But he took 'em both down with his Golurk, Bastorine. Then the third guy - the leader of their little squad - almost got him by surprise, but then I swooped in with my old Charizard, and...ah, the glories of battle..."
Then, he slumbed back down onto Maya's back, his expression growing more somber. "A couple weeks after that, we were by the coast somewhere, when someone showed up...someone from Team Plasma, who had somehow roped the legendary Cobalion into fighting with him." His hand moved across his face, lightly touching the scar on the bridge of his nose, and tracing it to the patch of skin where his eye had once been. "I did my best to hold them off, but Cobalion...the beast charged me and my Charizard with that Sacred Sword attack. Took my eye, knocked me off a cliff...and I don't think Cobalt made it. Not sure how anyone could...woke up a few days later on a fishing boat. A wild Wailmer had saved my life. After a day or two, they passed by here and let me off on the shore. Once I'd recovered, I sort of...just adopted Fuschia as my new home. Not sure if I'd be able to get back, nor if I'd have much reason to. So I just kept moving forward." He shrugged, and looked back to Teddy. "I never did find out who that guy with the Cobalion was, or what ever happened to my comrades. I've only heard through word of mouth that Team Plasma was stopped from doing whatever it was they were attempting to do, so I've no idea if anyone I knew helped. Not that it makes much difference now."

β β β
βββββββββββ Teddy listened attentively to Ace's story - he wouldn't have been able to guess the other man came from Unova, his natural accent seemingly buried beneath Johto tones. His interest in the story quickly peaked when the legendary Pokemon Cobalion was brought into events - no doubt captured or corrupted through some nefarious means (he did like the word nefarious) - though he didn't let it show, figuring it would be incredibly rude to seem to show more interest in the Pokemon than the story itself. He shared a sympathetic look with the man as he finished his tale - he was tempted to pat him on the shoulder, but figured that might be a little . . . yeah, so instead he voiced his thoughts. "I'm sorry to hear it. For what it's worth, I've heard that almost all of Team Plasma's members and commanders were captured - most of their assets were seized and I believe only one of their number is still left on the run. I doubt very much the trainers that took them down appreciated the ground work you laid down for them." As he finished giving his commiserations, he noticed that one of his Luxury Balls was shaking - he smiled to himself when he recognized it as Saint's. Teddy looked back up at Ace. "You don't mind if I bring out my Houndoom, do you? He tends to get antsy if left on his own for a while." βββββββββββ

βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββAce shrugged at Teddy's request, waving a dismissive hand. "Go right ahead. I do believe there's that old saying involving the school of thought that more company means more merriment and all that smooth jazz...or whatnot. Besides, it looks as though a couple more of my own have also gotten antsy...some, a little more literally than others." He turned back to where more of his team was waiting, just inside the labyrinth entrance, as though unsure if they really even wanted to proceed. In view currently was a Durant, a Volcarona, and an Armaldo, who didn't move in closer until Ace3 motioned to them and shook his head. "Come on, it's just company. No cause for such concern. If he were a challenger, I'd have gone back by now." With that, the three insects moved forward. The Durant seemed rather less than thrilled about the pressence of the Charizard, but the Armaldo and Volcarona didn't appear too concerned, and gestured respectfully to the Flame Pokemon. Ace motioned to his team, pointing at the Durant first, then the Armaldo, and finally the Volcarona, introducing them each in turn. "Allow me to introduce Danny, Shaw, and Meredith. The other two are somewhere in there...probably sparring. Knox and Daphne aren't much the social types; they prefer to be prepared for combat at any time."
He turned from his Pokemon back to the Elite Four member, tossing him a questioning glance. "So, what about you, Teddy? You seem like a posh sort of gent, no offense meant. If you don't mind my asking, how'd a guy like you get into the Elite Four game? I refer, of course, to your rather well-to-do demeanor; not trying to imply that I doubt your skill." He turned and looked at his Bugs, and smirked. "I mean, training and battling are all I've really ever known. But if I'm to be honest, most of the ritzy types I've met in my day have been more inclined to go out and buy expensive Pokemon, dress them up in overpriced accessories, and have their servants drive them into town to enter a contest. Although, I suppose it's refreshing enough just to know the spirit of trainers from days of old still lives on in some people."
