Nimhe walked inside, looking around as she stumbled into a table. Ignoring her fault, she took a seat at a table near a Fennekin and its trainer. Unlike her experience just at the doors, she decided to keep to herself. Looking to Gala on her shoulder she picked him up and placed him on her watch, letting him drain and feed off of its power. Little would anyone realize, it was to strengthen him as well as feed him the power he needs.

Since she had Gala, she has always used her watch as a training for her small insect friend. Smiling down at him, she turned and looked around. Jasper had lain at her feet.

Blake stepped into the dining hall and took a seat towards the center. Chespin jumped off his shoulder and onto the table, giving random outbursts of energy. He chuckled, playing a little with his starter, while Pidgey bent over, still on his head, watching happily. "You both should calm down before you start any trouble," He laughed as his starter ran in small circles, eager to battle.
"We'll battle soon," He promised, his Pidgey flying off and landing beside the now sitting Chespin. "For now, just be patient."

Amara walked back to the camp with Fennekin on her shoulder and Bunnelby hopping beside her. As they entered, she took a moment to look around and glanced down at her new partner. "You're gonna be great," she smiled, kneeling down to him. He jumped up in enthusiasm and followed her for a quick heal before heading to the dining hall.

Shay was playing with her Fennekin and didn't notice the trainer taking a seat behind her. Her Seviper, however, noticed the small Joltik on her shoulder and began to slither close to it. Shay quickly turned and stopped Seviper before it could take a bite of the Attaching Pokémon and grabbed its neck.

"Seviper! We don't eat other trainer's Pokémon!" she scolded.
She quickly changed her expression and looked up the trainer sitting beside her.
"I'm sorry, it won't happen again," she started, "Right, Seviper?"
"...Seviper..." the Fang Snake Pokémon mumbled.

Nimhe's face got pink from the trainer talking to her, she had to get used to it soon or later. Looking to the girl, she gave an alright nod and smiled. "It's alright, he would of gotten a shock or two if he did," she spoke and giggled slightly. "Gala here will shock anyone who messes with him. Well, almost anyone."

She watched him crawl to the trainer, he rubbing onto her arm. Flirty little pest, Nimhe thought to herself. While picking him up, she placed him back on her arm, and watched him crawl back to her watch, only to sit there and stare at the female trainer.

"Hi. I'm Shannon, but everyone calls me Shay," she told the trainer with a bright smile and held out her left arm as Shay's Fennekin hopped onto her shoulder and wrapped herself around Shay's forearm, "This is Fennekin, and I believe you've already met Seviper." Shay's Fennekin unwrapped herself from around Shay and stood on the table, taking a notice to the trainer's Growlithe nearby.

Jasper popped his head up and looked at the Fennekin, sniffing the air that surrounded him. He yelped softly, and wagged his tail as he got up and pranced towards the small fox-like Pokemon.

Nimhe smiled a bit more at the friendliness of the trainer. "I'm Nimhe, but most call me N, Nim, or just Zee. You're choice honestly. Heh," Nimhe smiled as she spoke, happy that not everyone was going to be a total jerk around here. "You already met Gala here, and this is Jasper. I've had him since he was a small pup out of an egg." She looked to Jasper as be barked playfully at the sound of his name.

---

(Read this - forgot to reply...)

Fennekin looked at Jasper curiously as he approached her and smiled while wagging her tail.

"Fennekin!" she exclaimed as Shay pet the Fox Pokemon quietly and looked back at Nimhe. "I think I'll call you Nim ... But probably not, I never stick to these sorts of nicknames like one time I told my friend Arianna I was going to call her A but I ended up only calling her Arianna. Sometimes I'd say 'ianna' because I'm lazy but I dunno..." she rambled before snapped back into focus. "D'aww, that's so cute! This Fennekin here is the offspring of my mother's Delphox and she someday wishes to be a Delphox as well." she explained as Fennekin cried out in agreement. Shay turned to Seviper and placed a hand on its head while saying, "Aaaand this troublemaker here I found in my backyard gnawing at my mother's apple tree - the tree, not the apples - and I kicked it in the face and captured it!"

---

Nimhe's face showed a shocked look on it, as though worried for the Seviper. Shrugging it off, they seemed to be good companions anyways, so she didn't have to really worry. "Jasper was from my elderly neighbor, while Gala here was creeping around my, uhm, house until my mother tried to squash him. She smiled and took off her watch, setting it on the table and letting him suck any energy from it. She knew he enjoyed it just as much as she did. It helped her in battle. Looking to Shay, she began to speak once more. "Well that's a good way to catch a Pokemon, ha ha ha! So do you have any clue on what this whole meeting in here is about?"

---

"Eh, as long at Gala doesn't suck the energy from my Pokedex, I'm fine..." she joked with a wink at the small Pokemon before taking notice to her question. "Um... well in the letter it said that there'd be a meeting about the Battle Tournament... so I'd assume it's about that but I think we're just waiting for more trainers to arrive or get in the Dining Hall..." she hypothesized.

Aleena paraded into the Dining Hall with her chest out and head raised with her Piplup, Sapph, beside her doing the same. She stopped behind Shay and Nimhe and smirked down at Sapph.

"It looks like the people who clean this place left some trash sitting in a seat." she insulted.
"Pip-lup-lup." her Piplup mumbled at Shay's Fennekin.
Fennekin stood up and frowned angrily down at the Penguin Pokemon and growled.
"Let's go, Sapph, I can just feel my cuteness dwindling every second I'm near this Garbodor." Aleena told her Piplup.
"You can't lose something you never had, sweetie." Shay responded as Aleena merely shook her head.

---

Gala jumped playully towards Shay, as though going for her Pokedex. He snickered as he stopped and turned, looking at the new trainer nearby.

Listening to Aleena, her happy feeling went away. I was wrong. she thought to herself. There are a lot of mean and horrible trainers here. Annoyed of how she had talked towards her, she looked at Shay and began to mutter under her breath, "No wonder why she chose to have a Piplup, it's almost just as cold as her." She snickered and looked to Jasper as though she said nothing.

(Breaking the fourth wall a bit with the NPC I'm posting as.)

Shay tilted her head as if a way to relieve her anger.
"Don't pay any attention to her," she suggested, "I've known her practically all my life and she's as bitter and she appears to be." Shay's Fennekin nodded in agreement as if she were saying the same about her Piplup. "Her name's Aleena but she's trying to get everyone to call her Al and her only purpose in life is to ruin mine." Shay sighed and looked over at Aleena who looked back and smirked.

At that moment, a woman walked onto the front stage and tapped a microphone that stood before her. "Hello? Is this thing on?" she asked, appearing to be unprepared. "Ah, yes. Alright then! Welcome, trainers! As we wait for the rest of the trainers to come in, we will begin the orientation. Now, trainers, I do have an important announcement from Professor Sycamore himself! If you wish to participate in the Double Battle Tournament, you must post with your character in the next 24 hours as we will be using a Random Generator to determine who will battle who first. Hail, trainers, this Double Battle Tournament is just the beginning. You will have to combine your Pokemon's moves and show excellent teamwork if you plan to make it to the top. Of course, with that being said, you'd need at least two Pokemon to participate. You may have more than two Pokemon, but only two can participate in a single battle at once."

"With all the battling aside," she continued, "you each will be bunked in an individual cabin during your stay here. The Cabins are in Groups of 3 and with each trio labeled with its own letter. Each Cabin will have one bed in the room with a three-person sofa and coffee table as well as its own bathroom equipped with a shower. There will be a television that will typically broadcast a message from Professor Sycamore detailing the day's events every morning. It is prohibited to unplug your television as it could be a safety hazard due to important news and events being broadcast. There will also be a videophone outside the middle cabin of each group. Please come up front to receive your cabin location."

"Finally." The red head sighed in relief of her boredom. "Do you plan on staying up there the whole time?" The Eevee on her shoulders mumbled a soft 'Vee~', his eyes closing as if to fall asleep. "Lazy little..." Fox rolled her eyes but she was smiling nonetheless. She loved the little bugger.

"Ugh, we have to share a room?" Her and Lucky met eyes when she looked down at the pup in her arms. They shared an expression of distaste before Fox made her way to the front. "Let's just get this over with... I need a cigarette." The last bit was mumbled low under her breath.

---

Amara entered the dining hall with Fennekin in her arms and Bunnelby beside her just as the woman was announcing. She stepped in, her starter hopping to the ground. "Of course. We just have to bunk." She sighed, her Pokemon not seeming bothered at all. She groaned and dragged her feet to the front slowly, stuffing her hands in her pockets.

Blake looked up and back at his Pokemon, hearing the announcement. "So we gotta share then.." He blinked as Pidgey perched on his head and Chespin sat on his shoulder. He hesitated for a moment, looking down at the table he sat at, then stood up and pushed the chair out. He began to walk to the front with his partners chatting too quick for him to even hear them say a part of their name.

---

Nimhe nodded in understanding her, unsure of what to really say. She didn't have a rival so she didn't need to worry about someone ruining her life. Looking around and then to the stage she began to listen to the lady speaking.

Looking to Jasper, she whispered to the small pup, "Do you and Gala want to partake in the Double Battle?" She smiled to her Pokemon as she saw a happy silent yip escape his muzzle. As she looked back to the stage she heard about sharing rooms. Sighing, she decided she would wait until everyone else was finished for the most part before finding out her own roommate.

---

Mizuko stood there listening with her Snivy, Janobii, resting on her head and her Snover, Yukikaburi by her side. Mizuko heard the words,"Battle." I'm definitely winning that. Mizuko thought. "Hey Nobii, Yuki, you wanna help Mizu win that battle?" Yuki made this kind of nod and Nobii made a sound. "~Snivy~". Good because no one beats me in battle.

---

(Lol since everyone wasn't too fond on the idea of sharing a cabin, I edited the post. I also realized it could be better since there aren't as many male characters as there are female.)

---

Shay smiled at Nimhe. "I take it you don't want to be up there with all those people? It's fine, I'll go up to see where you're being placed, you just sit here." she told her fellow trainer with a wink and walked to the stage, her Fennekin tailing closely behind releasing short "Kin"s and her Seviper staying near the Joltik in hopes of getting a mid-morning snack. "Seviper, we'll get you something to eat after this, I want to catch another Pokemon anyway. Don't you dare try anything, mister." she warned.

Al stood up queen-like, flipping one side of her hair behind her shoulder. "Sapph, Caserin, let's go find out where we're being placed." she told the two Water-types as they strutted to the stage not too far behind Shay. The trainer looked down at her Pokemon. "How about after this we go out to that Lake and see if they have any potential Pokemon?" she suggested to the two as they cried out in agreement.

(Basically just place yourselves wherever you want to be. Remember there are three cabins per group. For now I think we really only need to go up to letter D or E because there aren't that many characters. Also, in the forest you can train your Pokemon and capture some. You can't level up once per Pokemon defeated, maybe something more reasonable like per 3-4 = 1 Level. The tournament will be held sometime tomorrow so you're free to post anytime in between. Another thing is that for the tournament the maximum level a Pokemon can be is Level 25. The maximum level you can catch a Pokemon currently is Level 20 but please keep in mind that a Level 10-15 Pokemon will need some training before battling a Level 20 Pokemon. It is suggested you either level up your Pokemon or capture a lower level Pokemon.)

---

(wait what do you mean by groups of three?)

---

((no no! The cabin sharing idea is great!))

---

(Yeah it's good, actually. I was just making my characters sound unenthusiastic, since they never have done this sort of thing before. Plus Blake could be put with an NPC or something, since most trainers are girls.)

---

(( maybe co-ed cabins?))
