Happy birthday, Ikabro! I hope it's an amazing one, filled with... stuff that squids like!

Welcome to Reborn.

...The things I miss. Wow, just wow.

Happy Birthday to an awesome clan leader! Expect birthday glomp upon sight. <<

Toxic Troubles! Morning arrived, and I headed off towards Aya's gym once more, with hopes of another gym battle, and of course, another win. Luckily for me, she wasn't in a bad mood today, or at least, not yet. I entered the gym and noticed a PC right near the entrance, kinda handy as I forgot to switch anything around. So, with my memory jogged, I swapped out Excalibur for A.I. My team was completed, all I needed now was an order, and what gear would be best, as I reached my conclusion, Aya greeted me "...Really?! This fucking early? You're gonna challenge THIS early?!" "Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, don't worry, I won't waste much of your time." "Whatever, let's get it over with." I could tell she was in the best of moods today, but she must of really wanted to go back to whatever she was doing, because she already sent out her Pokemon. To my su- Oh, it was just a Triples battle as usual, lame. It was her usual start up in Regular league if I recall correctly... Vileplume, Amoongus, and Crobat. Again, not really all that surprising, so seeing her leads, I decided not to waste her time as well, and as such, sent out my Pokemon; Chunkybum, Tsuna, and Laxus. Fortunately, this countered her lead rather effectively, even better, I didn't really intend to do that. She shot me one hell of a nasty look, but I assumed it was the smell of her own pokemon that caused it. Seriously, they may be toxic, but they don't have to smell it. Anyway, I started off the battle with Chunkybum's Extremespeed targeting Vileplume, Tsuna's Fake Out targeting Crobat, and Laxus's Thunderbolt targeting Crobat too. Shortly after, she followed up with her Vileplume sending Chunkybum to snoozeville, Amoongus using Rage Powder to defend Crobat, and Crobat setting up Sunny Day because of Inner Focus, yeah, I forgot about that.... Sue me. "Well, you got up your sun, I just hope you don't feel all that bright with your fancy techniques." "......Wither up and die." For that comment, I was hurt, I almost wanted to cry, but instead of doing that, I planned to wipe some of her Pokemon out. With the sun up, I figured it was a good thing Tsuna was in the middle. So, having that in mind, I commanded him to dish out a Heat Wave. However, thanks to Sunny Day, her Chlorophyll abusing Pokemon are now faster, letting her Vileplume get a Sludge Bomb in on Tsuna. Luckily, he didn't seem all that hurt. Crobat decided to be a little scout, and U-Turn'd his ass right out into her next Pokemon, Nidoking. Unfortunately for Aya, ground doesn't resist Fire, and with Sunny Day support, the Heat Wave KO'd all three of the Pokemon on her side of the field. I almost felt bad for her Nidoking, poor bastard didn't even get a single move in. Regardless, Aya looked a little steamed... Yeah, I bet you're loving all these puns, just wait till the fire leader! "AHAHAHA! God, lucky me~!" "Whatever." It was approaching the final round, and as most final rounds go in Triple battles, they need the final three Pokemon. I already knew one was Crobat, since the little bastard got away. Annoyingly enough, the other two were also Chlorophyll abusers: Victrebell and Venusaur. With her final pokemon out, we wrapped the battle up quickly. Chunkybum still being asleep, seriously, dude. I know it's tough hauling that big ass of his, but come on, this is a gym battle, not nap time! Aya seemed to have had enough with my ownage, and finally took her first blood. With a mighty Solarbeam, the Venusaur set his beady little eyes on Laxus, and down the spikey fox went. Immediately after, Crobat and Victrebell double teamed Tsuna with Sludge Bombs, knocking him out. Chunkybum still managed to sleep through all this... "At least you're putting up some sort of fight, I was getting bored." "Shut up." Aya always had a way with words, but that's beside the point. Wanting to leave this putrid gym, I sent out my next two Pokemon, Crimson, and Mystogan. "Shall I get started, master?" "I told you about calling me that... But yeah, go for it." Mystogan managed to outspeed Aya's Crobat, and hit it with a Psystrike, do I even need to say it fainted? Crimson got a Bullet Punch off on Victrebell, while Victrebell fired off a Weather Ball at him in return. Needless to say, Crimson was utterly destroyed. It was almost like a Fly being hit with a Flyswatter. Venusaur wanting in on the action too, fired off a Sludge Bomb in Mystogan's direction, but he wasn't phased at all. Having a nice solid 3-2 lead, I knew I had this won, and Chunkybum hasn't even been touched the entire time. That being at the back of my mind, I sent out my final Pokemon, A.I. "Time for the final round, Aya." " Yeah, whatever. I just want you out of my gym." Chunkybum heard her plea, and woke up right after, taking out her Victrebell with an Extremespeed. I guess I can't stay too angry at him, he came through at the end. With my small moment of pride over with, I gave Mystogan his last command of the battle. "Alright, bro. Psys-" Suddenly, I was hit in the face by a small metal object, taking a look at it, it was the Blight X-League Badge. Apparently, my moment of pride was taking too long, and Mystogan decided to finish things on his own. Noticing the unconscious Venusaur, I merely shrugged. With my business with Aya done, I went to wish her a good game, and did so. In return, she told me to "Fuck off." Kinda a short chapter this time around, but it was a triples battle, and those are usually quick affairs. As always, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and leave some feedback if you want. Until next time~!

Blossom! After finally arriving in Reborn once more, I went to register my team for X-League. The clerk there was kind of a smart ass, but I held my tongue. Having registered I headed over to Aya's gym, but apparently, she was PMS'ing, so I settled for Laura instead. She's nice and quiet, should be a good peaceful battle. However, I just couldn't waltz in there with seven Pokemon now could I? Someone had to be benched for this battle... After some consideration, I decided that A.I. would get a little break, I wanted to go hyper offense anyway. The little cyber duck nodded, and I set him to the pc. With all the boring shit out of the way, I headed towards Laura's gym. It was a beautiful place, really. Flowers everywhere, nice ones too. I gotta hand it to the girl, she knows how to decorate. Unfortunately, she doesn't know how to talk. I thought it was me at first, but I guess she's really just that shy. I wanted a peaceful battle, but damn, this is a little much... "Sup, Laura? I hope you're ready, I know I am." She didn't even reply, I would feel insulted, but I really just want to get my badge and go. Without hesitation, she sent out her first Pokemon, Ferrothorn. Seeing this, I sent out Crimson. No more than 30 seconds passed, and Crimson unleashed his.... SUPERPOWER, and down went the Iron Barbed Pokemon in one swift hit. "...I see that choice band I gave you was more useful than I thought it'd be." Right after that, she sent out her next Pokemon, Breloom. I love the little sleep inducing kangaroo so much, that I even prepared for it! Knowing what was coming, I sent out Tsuna, who took the spore, and woke up immediately thanks to the Lum Berry I gave him. Laura didn't even seemed phased, it's almost like she's an android or something. "Alright, Fake Out, and then Heat Wave." Tsuna screeched, and followed the commands flawlessly. It only took two turns for Breloom to faint, and I was shocked that things were going so well. But the battle wasn't over yet, and as such, her next Pokemon entered the field, Serperior. Not surprising, those things are awesome. Having pretty great pride in Tsuna, I left him in to deal with it. He fired off a Heat Wave, missed, and her Serperior managed to get off a Toxic. I was legitimately surprised seeing Toxic on a Serperior... Tsuna being the badass he is, refused to be recalled and fought back until it the Toxic nearly killed him, sadly, I couldn't leave him in, and recalled him. He gave him the stank face, but he'll get over it. It was obvious I needed someone faster than her Serperior, and I knew just the guy for the job, and so, Laxus entered the field. But things didn't go as planned, he managed to get off one HP Ice before the mighty Grass Snake KO'd him with a Leaf Storm, powering it up even further. I decided that the only way to beat a Serperior, is with a Serperior, and so, I sent out Excalibur.... Damn, how wrong I was. Poor guy went down to one HP Fire. Slightly enraged, I sent out Crimson to counter attack. "You know what to do, Crimson." Boy did he know what to do. With one swift Bullet Punch to the dome, Laura's Serperior fainted, hell it may of even suffered brain damage. But the battle sure wasn't over yet, I haven't even seen any legendary pokemon, which is what this challenge is all about, really. Time went by, and it seemed like Laura made her next choice in Pokemon. But before she sent it out, she talked, yeah, talked! I couldn't believe it either. "Seems as if the bud will bloom after all......" "...Uh, what?" She quickly went back to being her silent self, and I disregarded the whole thing. Soon after, she sent out her fourth Pokemon, Whimsicott. I figured Crimson could handle this little bugger, so I left him in. I'll admit, the thing was bulky, it managed to survive one hit from Crimson's Bullet Punch, unfortunately, it couldn't take the second... and you might say the second hit was... critical. I even made that pun during the battle, and my jaw still hurts from where Crimson backhanded me. Laura seemed a little pissed, not sure if it was my pun or what, nah, couldn't be my pun, it was perfect. She was pissed at something, and it showed as she sent out her fifth party member, Virizion. "Finally! I was starting to wonder if you even had any legendary pokemon!" I knew that Crimson's Bullet Punch wouldn't be of much use here, and I didn't want to lose him yet, so after some thought, I reached a painful decision... Operation: Sacrifice Tsuna. And so, I recalled Crimson, and sent out Tsuna. He barely even managed to get me a dirty look before that Stone Edge hit him, I'll be paying for that later, but I had more pressing issues at hand. I figured it was about time I wrapped this battle up, and I sent out my secret weapon. He must of read my mind, because his pokeball was shaking will anticipation. Immediately after, Mystogan made his first battle appearance. "I'm so glad to be able to partake in this battle, master." "Bro, I ain't your master, we're all friends here. Here, just call me 'bro'." "Very well... bro." Mystogan wasn't one to fuck around, and it showed... Laura's Virizion started to panic, and soon after, the Psystrike hit it like a train, and down it went. I suppose I could say I had this match won, what with a cozy 3-1 lead, but I knew Laura had something up her sleeve... she has sleeves right? ...Whatever. Anyway, I was right, she sent out her sixth Pokemon, Shaymin-S, or as I like to call it, Skymin. Skymin was sitting pretty confident, like the flinch haxing bastard it is. I looked to Mystogan, and he smirked. "Do not fear ma- bro, I have this under control." As if the presence of Skymin wasn't bad enough, Laura decided to scarf the evil thing, making it even more troublesome. Skymin fired off an Air Slash, arguably the most evil of moves, but to my surprise, Mystogan didn't flinch, and fired off a hard hitting Psystrike. Both pokemon were taken aback by the others horrifying strength, but I knew that if I left Mystogan in, he would lose because of the scarf. So, upon thinking about it for a good while, I knew what I had to do. "Sorry, Mystogan... You'll have to retreat." "Very well, you know what's best." If only he knew... Anyway, since we reached an agreement, I withdrew him, and sent out Chunkybum on the incoming Air Slash, and since he was healthy, he took it like a champ. Chunkybum and I exchanged looks, and I gave him the honor of the final blow. "Extremespeed." Without haste, Chunkybum flew at a speed that would put Laxus to shame, and with a short blow to the head, Skymin collapsed, unable to move. Victory was ours, and I withdrew Chunkybum, praising him for an outstanding finish. With the battle over, I walked towards Laura to claim my first X-League badge. She handed it to me without even uttering a word. I wasn't one to harass a lady, so I respected her wishes of not wanting to talk... ever...I just don't... Anyway, I left her gym, head held high, and settled down at the nearest Pokemon center, healing the wounds of my fellow friends. As I went to bed that night, I had my sights set on Aya, and with any luck, she will actually be in the mood to battle this time. As promised, here is the first chapter of my X-League challenge(sorta), details aside, I hope you all enjoyed it, and thanks for reading. Leave feedback if you want. Until next time~!

Sounds like a plan, even though I rarely have anything of value to say that requires a status.

Prologue to X-League! I have fought many battles in my time on this journey, most of which were extremely difficult. I often reflect on those battles as they te- BWAHAHAHA!! I'm just kidding, I can't even remember the name of the last leader I beat. Amanda? Athena? Damn, what was it again? ...It'll come back to me. It's been 3 years since I beat the champion of Reborn, and I decided to take a little vacation from my challenge, catch some new pokemon, train a little, you know, the usual stuff badasses do, and then it dawned on me. I needed a legendary pokemon, and not just any legendary pokemon, one who is Uber strong! So during the past few years, I trained, and I searched for said pokemon. The legendary Mewtwo! Sure, I was laughed at, I mean, catching a pokemon as powerful as that? Seems like a big fucking joke to most people. But those people lack the skills to obtain true power. I eventually found my target, he was resting in a dark cave in Kanto, near Cerulean City. I won't lie, it was a tough battle, it took weeks for Tsuna to recover from his wounds, and Septus nearly died, but I caught my powerhouse. However, something was different about him... He spoke to me, and I'm not trying to troll you, he really fucking talked. "...Ah, I have been waiting for such a strong trainer. Now that you have my power, would you do me the honor of naming me?" I wasn't against the idea, so I thought for a bit, and came up with a name for this beast. "I think I'll call you.... Mystogan!" He seemed to like the name, as he nodded in approval. Without haste, he went into his pokeball, and I left the cave with seven pokemon in total. I decided I'd visit my hometown in Johto for old times sake, and as such, departed towards Blackthorn City. Upon arriving at my house, I thought it would be best to rearrange my team a bit. Thinking about Septus' near death experience, I didn't want to risk him dying in X-League, so I painfully put him on the bench, forever. But, not wanting to leave Septus without a few of his best buds, I switched my team up further, and the following changes were made; Excalibur over Septus, Laxus over Gastroll, and Crimson over Jazz. Laxus being the cousin of Umby, is a very spunky little guy, and if not, more deadly than his cousin. Crimson was a Scizor I befriended whilst travelling across Johto, I recall our encounter being near Olivine City, and I'll never forget it, but that's for another time. Finally, Excalibur was my starter during my Unova travels, dude was an absolute beast, and still is! Anyway, after I got geared up, I exchanged a few words with my mother and headed out towards the great land of Reborn. The challenge will be tougher than ever, but I won't back down, not now, not ever. Yeah, I know, I didn't write chapters for my last two battles.... I apologize for that. But I won't lie, I did kinda forget about this thing, and I just now remembered it. If I could recall those matches, I'd write them out. I will say that Amaria beat me a good 2 times before I finally managed a win, and even that battle was amazing, no doubt. I did do a previous X-League challenge where my legend was Darkrai, but I wanted to do something like I did here with him and, well... Forgot. So, I'm pretending like that challenge didn't happen.<< Also, Noel kicked my ass a lot and made me restart. Aaaaaaaanyway, I will try and update this as much as I can, but if you like it, don't be afraid to give me a little nudge on updates. First X-League chapter should be up later tonight or tomorrow, depending on whether or not I can come up with good writing material for it. That being said, stay tuned~!

Ikabro be pimpin himself out.

#Gray2012!

This will happen! Get the campaign ads!!

Welcome to Reborn.

By your constant rule 7 jokes <<

I'd say the first movie night was a huge success! Even though it got a little too rated R. << Definitely can't wait for the next one.

Oh, oh, oooooooooh! Zeref from Fairy Tail! Hair, and his robes, etc. I would post pics... But I can't really find any full body shots of him <<. Anyway, you can make his robe, red, black, and blue! And his hair could be black, red, and yellow, and possibly green if you wanted! That's plenty of colors, and we get badass attire for sprites. If I can actually find a decent pic of him, I will edit this sometime. Google images hates me <<

Your dislike of crep is scary. <<

/d was impaled by an Ice Make Spear Cuz Gray Fullbuster is pro.

....LOL, I completely forgot I had that item on Xatu, thanks for reminding me.

Yo, sup!? Xiph here bringing you another RMT, and this one features a team I'm quite proud of. That being said, I hope you enjoy this, and leave some feedback if you want. @ Air Balloon Trait: Iron Fist EVs: 128 Atk / 128 SAtk / 252 Spd Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def) - Stealth Rock - Flamethrower - U-turn - Mach Punch Infernape here is my lead, which is actually quite useful as I'm sure a lot of people know. Basically, he's meant to set up Rocks as soon as the battle starts. However, if I am against a fellow Rocks lead, I will almost always go for U-Turn straight into the next member of this team, which I'll touch on shortly. Flamethrower is for extra coverage and STAB and helps deal with walls like Ferrothorn and Forretress, and Mach Punch is for tight situations, and basically anything that is scarfed. I don't think I have to touch on Air Balloon. @ Leftovers Trait: Magic Bounce EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd Lax Nature (+Def, -SDef) - Heat Wave - Thunder Wave - Roost - U-turn Xatu here is the next member, and serves as my hazards blocker as well as a nice crippler for those fast pokemon that are common. I'll almost always go into this guy if the lead is a hazard set up pokemon. Thunder Wave is to slow down scarf users as well as anything that is generally fast, Heat Wave is to deal with Steel Types should I need to do that with him, Roost for Recovery, and U-Turn to keep up momentum whilst doing a little damage, great for predicting swicthes, etc. As far as I know, this set is standard, but I felt like explaining it anyway << @ Leftovers Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) - Volt Switch - Rapid Spin - Spikes - Gyro Ball Forretress is my physical wall of the team, and my rapid spinner just in case Xatu is offed early. Spikes for even more hazard damage, and Volt Switch to keep up momentum and deal with things that would trap him otherwise, like Magnezone, Chandelure, etc. Gyro Ball is for STAB and is mostly filler. @ Life Orb Trait: Technician EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Swords Dance - Spore - Mach Punch - Bullet Seed Breloom is the muscle of the team, and is usually sent out for late game sweeps, assuming I can get all my hazards up, and no situation requires him to come out sooner. Anyway, this set is standard, not much to say on it. @ Leftovers Trait: Water Absorb EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Scald - Protect - Wish - Haze Vaporeon was originally meant to be a special sponge, but I changed her to be mixed since she can do it really well, and has the Hp for it too. She's mainly just support via Wish, and helps cripple physical sweepers with Scald. I added Haze to the set because I got sick of set up pokemon, and evasion <<, and it has worked really well so far. Protect is to help her wall even more with Wish support. @ Life Orb Trait: Levitate EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Draco Meteor - Psyshock - Surf - Hidden Power [Fire] Lastly, we have my special attacker, Latios. I'm pretty sure this set is standard, so there isn't really anything to explain. He's meant to do as much damage as possible, and usually gets the job done. With all that said, I hope you enjoyed this little RMT, and feel free to try the team out yourself. Happy battling!

I'll miss Phoenix as an auth, even though he was a jerkface << Nah, stay classy firebird. As for the new release. It's pretty fun so far. Still having trouble getting a Fire Stone... Damn mining <<

I've only seen Spirited Away

I eat souls.
