Murdoc, I just imagined Kage thinking he was stepping toward her but actually stepping in completely the wrong direction and waving his stick angrily at nothing.

Honestly, that made my day.

@Commander: I don't know whether I should wait for Lana's response to Danielle or not before I address Henry; that's why I didn't make a post despite being here reading everything.

I had to go to work before I was able to update everything. For now you can bunny Lana and let her tag along.

I'm only going to have a couple of small windows of opportunity to update the next couple days so take your time with that (which is also why I ended Slade's fight a little early).

Hmmmmm.... I might be having second thoughts about the decision with the Slaking now... it might be physically strong, but theoretically Nemo could equal that strength himself with the double base attack upgrade for the cubone line and everything...and it might be a bit bothersome to have to try to find an opportunity to use Skill Swap once it gets to a certain point in time when he wouldn't lose his shit thinking about trying to control it.... and to be quite honest... would he even need the power at the end of the day?

I'm considering maybe an Ice type to go in it's slot.... or maybe an eveelution like Glaceon or Espeon of Flareon.... then again, I could continue with theme I've got going with Empoleon and choose a bladed pokemon.... (maybe a Sceptile named Ser Barristan?XD)

Auorus in particular currently has a bit of my attention... eh screw it. What ya'll think?

EDIT: Then again, don't have any poison either...

Meh the randomizer refuses to give me fields 6 and 7... I got water again. Forest would've been good since it's Alvin vs Raiza now xD

@Zerron: Depends on what you've planned with Aurorus. You can also combine the ice type slot with the eeveelution idea. Personally I think Glaceon or Avalugg would fit Mareek.

Avalugg would be funny to see lol,Physically it's an immense foretress while on the lower special stat,it can still survive a hit and then OHKO(If the hit was strong enough)with Mirror Coat. It also somehow can use rapid spin(Idk how this works)

In regards to Alvin,is he using that Dwebble because if he is...

Chim, let me tell you something about Glaceon considering it's been the final member of my planned team since about November. If it wasn't about the only option remaining that gives me a bit of a coordinator impression, I would probably use something else. It's got a bunch of nice little tricks, something I doubt that's something Mareek would be looking for, but you're pretty much required to run Hail on this thing along with Blizzard. Truthfully, I'm probably a bit grouchy this thing can't have Mist. That would be like the perfect move for completing the moveset I designed for it. Thankfully, this thing still can use Frost Breath.

I only gave some suggestions. It's up to Zerron to decide what he eventually wants to use. I just think the ones I suggested suit Mareek best as far as Ice types go.

@Zerron

I'd say Avalugg. He kinda fits in your team because, whilst your team has a lot of bulk to it, you don't have that concept of a pure fortress of defense. Plus the idea of the icy, solid fortress to fall-back on has so many developmental prospects that even I can think of. I'm sure you could do more with the relationship. It'd be far more interesting for me to read than just mareek raging over a slaking.

hmm... interesting, I was actually considering Avalug for a while a bit earlier back when most of the team roster was still being formed... (HE got glossed over quite hard because it was so early on and the core members still needed selecting.)

And just to set the record straight real quick since I've been spending a shit ton of time planning this particular character out compared to most my other PCs and getting a feel for who he is and why he does things and not other things, what his past is and how it affected what he's like today, so on and so forth, and it honestly kinda irks me just a bit at this point to hear some saying this cause I've heard it twice or so now:

contrary to what some think, He wouldn't have raged over the Slaking if he were still going to eventually get it. It's already been shown a few times that he's one way around people and another way around mons- he's more comfortable and open interacting with the latter than he is the former, around them, the semi-subconcsious need and habit he developed to defend himself behind an icy fortress of solitude and hard logic does not manifests itself as strongly when he's only around pokemon and not any other people, as such, he acts far differently (And yes, I have gone to certain lengths to show and hint at this on occasion, you just have to go back and look for the times when I have done it in previous chapters). His team members are honestly the only ones (And to somewhat of a lesser extent at this point, Lana) around who actually sees both sides of him. Like has already been hinted at and both shown and even blatantly told a few times (Nemo when he got his ass royally knocked to the ground by Rhydon's Metal Burst and Mareek hovered over him and asked if he was just going to give up), he treats his team like Individuals with free will rather than simply drones who are to follow orders (Like some NPCs who have been temporarily controlled for battles in the cup have shown being inclined to think like). He does not try to force his will down their throats, to break them and rebuild them as servants or mindless soldiers who have blind loyalty who identify with obedience to master and country before basic right and wrong. No, instead he allows them to retain who they trully are, allows them to retain their identities as individuals and their free wills- he and his team's dynamic is one that functions primarily off of trust than simple obedience. There is a reason not a single member of his team thus far has been forcefully captured, but have instead either come to follow him of their own free will (Nemo after the swellow encounter, and to a lesser extent java, though he was more of just curious at the time of his joining) or bestowed to him by certain... circumstances not entirely in his control (Erce, and later on Mossad will fall under this as well) there is a reason why he does not solidify even the names they take on until or unless they give their approval of it first (EX, how he asked the Cubone if he felt the name "Nemo" would be alright, asked if it was something that he would want to be called and wear the name with pride)

Ergo, in closing, he would not "Rage" against the Slaking, should it join the team. No. He would simply come to accept who the Slaking is as an individual and instead of spending time raging and ranting, work to develop a fighting style for it that works for it and that flows with the ape's own natural style, he would try to work with and incorporate the Lethargy into the combat techniques rather than develop them inspite of it (Infact, I went and developed an entire move set just to this end.) because trying to break mons down, in his mind and opinion, is honestly is just plain wrong and almost always leads to disaster at some point down the road... and Slaking honestly would've been the coup de grace for the final showing of this fact, how his beleif in that philosophy is powerful that not even the laziest mon in the world could make him lose his shit when it gets on his team.

anyways, moving on from that and to the point, sorry, but it was kinda just getting to me a bit- I'll go back and look at Avalugg again since there is a good point that the overall symbology I can do with it could be freaking perfect for development. Time to go see all the things I can do with it move wise now...

Thanks for the suggestions, folks.

Alright, it's decided; I'm using Avalugg. Here's what the first year roster's looking like now:

Scizor

Marowak

Porygon2/Z (Maybe, maybe not)

Empoleon

Avalugg

Meganium

all in that order of projected obtainment. Now he has a literal fortress of solitude...just like Superman... lols XD

..RIP Magmar for year one.....

Oh well,i've got something between Baltoy and Kangaskhan to work out since the 5th slot's with Gengar....Baltoy's pretty much a landmover with Earth Power and Ancient Power along with Psychic while Kangaskhan is the traditional heavy hitter with good bulk and have one of tis moves always be outrage(If her baby's hurt she goes on a destructive rampage destroying all in sight similar to a Hydreigon...)

I was hoping this joke woudn't be made...

Now I'm tempted to actually name the thing "Solitude" :3

lols, jk... I can come up with something much better, just gotta look.

EDIT; Think I got it... He shall be named... Jeor... or perhaps simply, Mormont.

The ultimate nickname's already known m8

Hmm...Might have Solaris be a part of the team after all in year 2 i mean since the year 2 team currently has that ancient theme with Claydoll,Spiritomb and Cradily and considering how rare and where they're found a Volcarona would definetly fit that :P

And he shall be the most unexpectedly dangerous and formidable coffee table there ever was...

@Azery/ Jory: one of you can go ahead and respond, Mareek's gonna stay a bit quiet for a while...

Oh thank the heavens I finally found a moveset to work perfectly with my ideal Glaceon. I wish this thing had more versatility like Glalie (literally was so close to picking that one at one point. Totally underrated Ice Type and I really recommend considering it if you don't have a Mega.) The hard part was mixing the competitive play with the coordinator skills as she's a mix of both. I'm just thankful for what she can use (which isn't much), she can use quite well.

Now for the real question going on in my head: Regular Rotom or Raichu. Both have a lot of pros and cons for the full team that I'm not too sure who to pick. Both are also well thought out down to their personality. Anyone here have a preference?

For Henry, still Rotom. Not only does it fit his personality better, it also adds coverage with its ghost typing/whatever form it decides to go for. Plus, since Rotom has Levitate, it can combo well with Burrows in doubles if he needs to EQ.

I, for one, am tempted to have an outlier as Dani's 10th Pokemon in the form of a creepy Shedinja that just keeps on following her until she catches it. xD The jellybean/fetus Pokemon (Reuniclus) will also be a reserve Poke for me~

Unless of course, burrows has mold breaker, in which case, rip rotom... though personally, I think that Rotom would go much better with henry because of the fact that he's called "Glitch" by some...and what does rotom do? "Glitch" appliances and wreak havoc with them.

Also, I just now noticed something... the relationship pairing with Jacob and Mareek are inverted- Kristen is a red head, Jacob has brownish/dirty blonde hair, while at the same time Mareek is red headed and Lana has brown hair... how ironic that it happened to work out like that, lols...

Lana is just going to follow so I'm going to wait before updating that situation. Also Devin is already moving around and not where the hosts are. You can catch him inside the Arena.

I might give Evan a Torterra instead of Tangrowth. I really want to give him a ground type but I already gave Lana a Turtwig...

So tempted to make this Erce's fight theme...

Cause Don't lose your way goes with everything... and plus, Vendettas are implied in the lyrics, so... (And she's basically a giant pair of scissors if you think about it, lols...) overall the tone and theme fit quite well with her role both in the boy's past and future...

And this right here will probably end up being Mossad's theme under while under both ownerships... or maybe it'll be Galen's fight theme... (Even though he's probably only going to ever battle like... once in the entire story or so...)
