WELCOME TO THE SINNOH REGION, a massive island rich with exploration and Pokemon. Legends say that Sinnoh was the very first Pokemon region to come into being;

and fight to defend the world? Or do you believe in Galactic ideals, wishing to follow their efforts in starting anew?
[ 08.15 ] Welcome to Sinnoh! Team Rocket have arrived in Sinnoh and have left a very daunting message here. With the introduction of a new class comes another promo!
Check out the rocket promotion here and stay tuned for many more exciting events!
major news alert!
witness reports from all over the region has been flooding in about strange happenings at the three lakes. what's more perplexing is that these occurrences seem to be happening spontaneously at the lakes. just moments ago, a burst of light erupted at the locations and residents in the vicinity have reported that the lake-side pokemon have turned aggressive and attack on sight.
However, there have been rumours and sightings of the legendary lake trio which has had trainers flocking in from all over the region.
canalave was the easiest to reach from sunyshore. it wasn't particularly close (though they weren't thousands of miles apart, either)-- it was just the place you could reach with the least amount of effort. all she had to do was pay old sailor eldritch and suddenly she was in canalave. no hassle, no monotonous journey. direct travel. that was good.
ana had been here weeks before during the mysterious case of the disappeared luxio twins, but now that she was back the city seemed to have lost its novelty and she found herself walking around with her little growlithe yipping happily and running circles around her legs as if to goad her into walking faster. though it was a bit counter productive, she reasoned. people were walking all around her, the hustle of the city life quite apparent.
ana had just pulled out her phone when suddenly the growlithe began barking very loudly, making her wave one hand airily in attempt to calm it down. scooby, however, was having none of that, and continued barking, so much that she had to stop walking and look up from her text. huh. she put the phone back in her pocket as she looked at the scene before her. scooby had cornered some poor person, singling them out from the crowd by barking at them specifically, and the crowd had rifted like the red sea, a little circle of people now staring at ana and whoever was the unlucky person of interest.

aught suddenly in a tight spot, Ken started to grab a ball out of his back pocket. As he looked around he saw he was singled out, and peoople were looking? That was even worse than the Growlith barking at him. He started to grit his teeth getting angry at the unwanted attention, about to let loose his anger on the Growlithe in front of him, giving the crowd something to actually look at, until the trainer reared her (ugly) head.
He stopped gritting his teeth and then sucked them in annoyance looking at the woman, "S'this your mutt, why don't you call it off? Cuz its yappin' is reeeeealy startin' to piss me off." Ken was on the verge of exploding, his angry temper easily drawn out. If it had kept up for any longer then he might have snapped. He continued looking at the lady with hateful eyes. He had a plan in his head already on how he could make things go in a certain way that he would benefit from it.
ana blinked at what she saw. a totally bald guy that, instead of seeming a little out of place, confused or even fearful seemed downright angry that scooby was barking at him. which was a very odd reaction, but interesting nevertheless. "huh," was her only reply, looking at the man with a dull stare in response to his annoyingly unintelligent reply. something about him rubbed her the wrong way, but she smirked nonetheless.
"ah, sorry, i think he must hate baldies, or something," she shouted over the commotion, eyes perked for the man's response. there was a crowd, and if anastasia had learned anything from being the most annoying person she knew it was that she always had an advantage since she was a girl-- as long as there was a crowd. "scooby, quiet!" she shouted, an the growlithe let to two more rebellious barks before settling into a low growl, eyes fearlessly looking up at the man.
"come back here now," ana said, and the growlith reluctantly obliged, unwilling to to takes its eyes off the man. ana looked back at him curiously, too, the crowd whispering and finally starting to move back to how they were. she wasn't about to return her pokemon, not when the stranger was being so tempered. this was enjoyable so far so ana decided, as usual, to push her luck. pretending as though she was just staring at him blandly for the past few minutes her facial expression shot into a fake smile and she waves enthusiastically.

B
ALD? Did she just call him bald? A nerve was obviously struck for a split second, because she went as far as insulting his appearance. He thought this woman needed to be taught to be nicer to people she doesn’t know. His mind was racing thinking of a different things to do to this poor girl. ‘What would make her pissed, what would bring her to her knees? What should I do to make her cry?’ These thoughts were racing through his mind in the span of the minute she talked, all the while he stared at her with a slight frown and glaring eyes, visibly unpleased.
He didn’t want to draw attention to himself so he waited until the crowd started moving to act upon her insult. He acted as though he didn’t care until the crowd was a bit more dispersed. As it thinned out more, he looked forward at the woman and calmly walked towards her, the frown slowly turning into a wavering grin. As he approached, towering over the woman, at a height of 6’3, he stared down at her with the grin showing no signs of it disappearing and turning a bit more wicked. He would lean in closer to the woman near her ear and would whisper, “I see what you’re tryin’ to do. Get me angry, make me do something I probably shouldn’t an’ all that,” he would straighten up a bit still about a foot away from her face, “But it ain’t gonna work.” He would smile and lean backwards, “I ain’t loosin my temper over some spoiled brat and her mangy mutt. I’d like to think I’m a lil bit more mature than that.” He would straighten out his clothes.
He would slowly start to crumble, gritting his teeth, he couldn’t keep up the act anymore. He wanted to seem high and mighty at least enough time to get something out of the situation but as soon as he realised how he was basically embarrassed in front of so many people he exploded. He screamed with the anger of all this pent up rage, most likely drawing attention to himself and the girl, “WHO THE HELL AM I KIDDIN’, FUCK YOU, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE SO RUDE TO ME! I should beat your ass in front of all these people just so you can feel my pain! Just cuz’ you’re a woman don’t give you no special privileges, you can get it just like any other than tries to step to me!” He was shaking in anger his teeth clenched and hands in a fist, his eyes had a glare of death, he was ready to beat this girls ass.
the reaction was better than any she could have hoped for. the man seethed in silence for a while, a while that had ana wondering if she picked the wrong person to pick on, but he didn't disappoint. he walked towards her, grinning down as he shouted.
ana flinched, but just barely. really, she would have been more afraid if the guy had any sense left inside him. she wondered if that shiny bald head of his actually housed a brain. then he spoke, and ana nodded placidly. "congratulations," she said dryly, a dangerous smirk creeping across her face before she wiped it clean so her face seemed a little more neutral.
and then he exploded.
ana's eyes widened at first, her instinct to jump at the sudden lengths the man was going, her heat forced to thud as he began making threats-- until a little voice told her she was being stupid, and intimidated was the last word she was going to allow him to have over her. her expression turned vacant as she began addressing his points with robotic efficiency. "i wasn't rude at all?" ana said, which she primarily wasn't. oh, except she had called him bald. huh. there was no hiding his condition though, so she didn't see why he was mad. she met his death glare evenly-- as even as she could for being only 5'10.
"you won't. this is a busy intersection and everyone would shove you off me befor---"
ah, but she had miscalculated. they both had.
apparently, scooby didn't like the idea of his trainer being towered over despite the confidence she managed to exude, and before the man or the woman could finish either of their angry retorts, the growlithe's fangs glew red hot with fire, and then it charged straight for the man's leg, using a FIRE FANG out of the blue.
all the buzzing in ana's mind dulled, suddenly replaced by a single thought:
your walls, hijack your brain, run through your veins.
W
hat? Was this Growlithe gonna bite his ankle? Wait, thats fire, there's fire in its mouth. Can’t let that touch me.
Was what ran through his mind and then, ‘How should I deal with this?’ He debated in his head whether he should crush it’s neck with his foot or just try to dodge it. Nah, dodging it would make him look wimpy, and he didn’t want to kill the pup. Okay, got it.
As the Growlithe ran at him, obviously going for a certain leg, he would simply kick it with enough force to knock it back behind the trainer. A lone ember made it onto the cuff of his pants igniting a small flame, in which he simply lifted his leg and dusted it off with his hand.
“Oh, so now you’re bringin’ your hound in? Damn you’re shameless.” Sort of regaining his composure he would shake his head, giving a look of smugness. “Too bad yours ain’t trained too well.” He would send out a Houndour, “Unlike yours, mine can land an attack.”
With a snap of his fingers the Houndour growled and ran forward seemingly going for the trainer but as it neared, switched course going to use CRUNCH on the Growlithe.
the stranger kicked her growlithe off, and ana yelped as scooby was knocked back behind her. oh, he was so getting it for that. she rolled her eyes at his declaration, wondering if constant exposure to the atmosphere had sucked the grey cells via his shiny scalp. "the dog hated you to begin with. i have nothing to do with you being unlikable," she said scathingly.
"oh, is it that unfixable that you have to resort to a pokemon battle?" she found her lip twitching in annoyance. was everyone these days some twelve year old that resolved things with their pokemon? diplomacy was really dead, wasn't it. not that she was particularly good with that skill, so either way it sort of benefited her. hopefully.
a houndour was thrown, and ana assumed that was the start of it. she really had little to say though, since the CRUNCH landed squarely against the growlithe, the fire-type hissing in pain before launching a TAKE DOWN. if one was not enough, it would take the liberty of executing one more as ana moved backwards, creating enough space for them to duel.
the busy street watched them either in interest or disappointment, half the people staring and the other half hissing as they were forced to navigate around the battle. the traffic police would likely force them to stop, but hopefully the battle would end before that. she wanted a conclusion to this little over-escalating scuffle, even if inside she had a gut feeling neither of them would take defeat in stride.

a
s the Houndour took the attack, Ken looked on in disdain. He hated the fact that the Houndour was taking damage, and to make matters worse, he was gathering a crowd. He returned the damaged Houndour, as the onlookers turned into officers. He hated admitting defeat but hated jail even more.
“Don’t think this means you win, shorty, if these officers weren't here I’d rip into that little pooch of yours s’more. But as it is, I don’t wanna bring any more attention to myself.” He pauses shaking his head and turning on his heel, "If I see you again, you’re dead.” he says with a frown and a look of seriousness on his face. The look would then turned into a sly grin as he turned around, “Hypothetically, I mean. I wouldn’t kill some helpless brat, ofcourse.” He would continue to walk away turning around away from the girl with his hands in his pockets, gritting his teeth a bit.
