Once a year Senior Students take a test in their state or region wide testing programs. Each area has three selected students that get to take on Starter Pokemon and are invited to represent their area by traveling the world, beat all eight gyms and entering the Pokelympics that takes place every four years. You three have scored high enough in your individual schools in Missouri and were invited the St. Louis to meet with Proffessor Pine, a researcher of Pokemon and personal friend of Proffessor Willow in New York City. However due to a tie in scores, four people were allowed starters!

Upon arriving you get your pictures taken and are given your choice of starter. Sam with Squirtle, Bard with Charmander, Nick with Pikachu and Vice with Bulbasaur! Now you each have two years before the next Pokelympics, and you all have aspirations of winning that torniment, because whom ever wins that can take on the World Champ, Cobalt!

Squirtle
1. Water Gun
2. Rapid Spin

Charmander
1. Scratch
2. Ember

Pikachu
1. Thunder Bolt
2. Quick Attack

Bulbasaur
1. Tackle
2. Vine Whip

How ever as the ceremony is coming to a close the lights begin to short out, then over exert! And all the bulbs in the ceremony hall shatter! From the back of the large room a door flies open and two people stand smiling! TEAM TESLA, the world terrorist orginization hacking thieves of millions of dollars and kidnappers of hundreds of Pokemon!

Konor
"Hello Pokefans!" A voice yelled out opening a pokeball to reveal an electibuzz. "We're just here for your Pokemon so please don't make this harder then it has to be!"

Kasey
A woman with bright blonde hair matching her partner release a Pokemon from its ball as well, her's was a Jolteon. "We are Team Tesla, and submit or prepare to battle!!!"

(presuming no accidentally unmentioned predetermined post order...)

Bard stood more to the back of the hall as the lights began to go out and bulbs began to shatter. He watched the show with a slight smirk and chuckled a bit.

"A fire would be nice. Real nice..."

He then turned his attention towards Team Tesla and somewhat shoved himself through the crowd to put himself directly up front.

"Ya know...that's pretty petty of you to want to invade a graduation ceremony. For crying out loud i'm sure my two fellow graduates would rather remember this as a proud moment than a moment of infamy in their minds. So do us all a favor and leave...I'd rather my first battle as a trainer be against a fellow trainer or a wild Pokemon than some self jack wagons doing what they think is a righteous thing with some hair brained ideals."

Sam didn't know either of the other two trainers but Nick and him were in school together and tied in the Pokemon subject. Where Nick was slightly better at written tests, Sam excelled in the mock battles. "So Nick, we gonna show them what we are made of?" Releasing his Squirtle he wish he had more time to train with the little guy but heros had to step forward. "Stay back a ways and stick with ranged attacks Squirtle! Water Gun!!"

Lights shatter and screams echo only to be drowned out by two members of one of the most infamous troublesome groups on the planet, team Tesla.

Vice wasn't exactly one to speak, having done some mischief in his day, but he couldn't just let these guys ruin the entire ceremony, after all, the top ace student couldn't just sit back and watch as someone tried to use a water attack on an electric type. "This is my fellow representatives?" He scoffed, coming up beside the two. "Better off hiding your pokèmon in it's pokèball then aggravating them with a squirt gun."

Vice threw his own pokèball to let out Bulbasaur. "Now! Bulbasaur, use vinewhip on Jolteon." He instructed, Bulbasaur sending two vines straight for the evolved pokèmon with as much force as it could muster.

Nick was a pretty quiet kid, not really wanting to stick out all to much, but the one thing that brought him out of his shell was Pokemon. Admittedly, he was always better at learning about Pokemon then battling with them, but being the training partner of one of the top battlers in their class, he managed to get good enough to make it out into the top four, and he wasn't about to let their moment be spoiled by a couple of no good, low life, Pokemon thieves.

"Well, you and I don't have the best match up Sam, but I guess that's what coverage moves are for." Nick replied to Sam as he threw his Pokeball, bringing out his Pikachu. True to their name, Team Tesla used electric type Pokemon, which means his own electric type Pikachu wasn't going to be able to do much damage with its more powerful move, but that also meant they couldn't hurt Pikachu too badly either, so it seemed to even out. "Alright Pikachu, use Quick Attack on Electibuzz!" He instructed. He went for the slower Pokemon, hoping to outmatch it with Pikachu's speed.

Konor
Konor's Electibuzz took a blast of water before getting hit by Pikachu. Out raged by their insolence Konor yelled out, "fine! Wanna play it that way do you? Electibuzz... LOW KICK!" Smashing down on Pikachu's head and body, the electric mouses health was cut in half! The fighting type move tossed the young Pikachu backwards with great force. "Surrender or do your Pokemon more harm!"

Kasey
Jolteon dodged the vine whip with lightning speed before releasing a bright Thunder Bolt on Bulbasaur! "Nice Jolteon, once more!" Another Thunder Bolt attack brought Bulbasaur's health into the red. "You honestly think a few first level Pokemon can take on our well trained electric types??"

He simply stood there quietly for a moment watching the first couple of attacks and tilted his head sideways before pulling a lighter out of his pocket and sparking it and held the flame semi close to his face.

"Of course a few low level Pokemon can't be your experienced ones..."he spoke as a semi twisted grin crossed his face. "But any Pokemon can beat any other one with the correct application of strategy..."

He then held out his right arm with a poke'ball in his grasp.

"Pikachu...squirtle...bulbasaur...this leaves me with charmander who is currently but the flame on the end of a match. But even a match can create a blazing inferno...come charmander. A Pokemon is only as strong as it's trainer. Let's show them how that type of strength shall prevail."

He then dropped the poke'ball as charmander emerged forth and stood quietly beside him. Bard then looked to Sam.

"Have your squirtle use water gun again. No particular target. Let's make us harder targets..."

He then looked to his charmander.

"You use ember on his squirtle water gun. Hope everyone here likes a good steam bath..."

His charmander then inhaled deeply in preparation to do as it was told.

"No offense, but I don't listen to pyro maniacs who might as well join Team Tesla one day." Sam knew of Bards history, rumor has it he was a total pyro maniac. Him and his Pokemon wouldn't be involved in arsine, no not today. "Besides I have a plan of my own," Sam knelt by Squirtle, pointing out a specific direction of water for Squirtle to spray. Hopefully this would cause the next electric Pokemon who attacked to shock each other. "Might wanna pull Pikachu back Nick," he didn't mean to sound condescending but he kinda did. With that Squirtle made very a precise attack, avoiding the fires of Charmander should they be cast.

It wasn't all to great to be outdone so easily, but his Bulbasaur wasn't done and neither was he. Vice grit his teeth as Bulbasaur was shocked not once, but twice.

Bard gave an order to Sam, insisting he used water gun on the Charmander's ember. Sam though seemed to not get the plan, which was a shame. "Bulbasaur! Vine whip one more time and scatter that water gun!" He then turned to Sam with a rather unpleasant face. "Bard is right. Don't be a dolt and play team. You both have the same idea, but his covers more ground." Watching as the water scattered haphazardly into a rainy mist that would strike the embers to start creating a mist. "Now the entire air is moist and so are they." Pointing at Konor and Kasey. "Nick, do you think you could keep that Jolteon busy for two seconds? Bard, help me take out the Electabuzz and Sam..." Looking back to the solo player. "Go play noce in the corner if you can't play with the rest. If you can, then have squirtle use rapid spin and fire off water gun to keep this place watered up."

He turned back to the fight at hand. "Bulbasaur return!" He called out before throwing the ball up skyward towards the cieling and the rafters where the pokèball released Bulbasaur to sit high above everyone. "Use Vine Whip on Electabuzz! Make every swing count."

"Pikachu!" Nick exclaimed as his Pokemon was flung across the room. With half its HP gone, Nick was reluctant to send his Pikachu back into the fray, he couldn't survive another Low Kick. But the most pressing matter was the terrible teamwork between his fellow graduates, none of them seemed to be on the same page at all, Nick seemed to be the only one who understood all of their individual thoughts. Bard's plan was to reduce visibility by creating a cloud of mist, not a bad idea by any means, but it may have put themselves at a disadvantage in the long run, having very little experience with actual battling. Sam's plan on the other hand would flat out fail, it seemed he was trying to get the electric types to shock each other, but Jolteon had the volt absorb ability, so it may actually end up helping them, and even if it was Jolteon that shocked Electibuzz, it was still resistant and little to damage it.

In the end however, it seemed the mist plan won out due to Vice's interference. However, it wasn't nearly thick enough to create a cover, so it seemed like Vice was going more for Sam's plan and used the mist to accomplish it. Didn't change the fact that it wouldn't work, but Nick did agree with one thing, they needed to take out that Electibuzz first, to prevent it from healing the Jolteon with an electric type move.

"…Alright Pikachu, keep Jolteon busy with Quick Attack!" Nick instructed. He knew that Pikachu's base speed wouldn't be enough to take on Jolteon on its own, but with Quick Attack he should be able to give it the run around long enough to buy the others some time, hopefully Sam and Bard could set aside their pride and work together on this.

Konor
"You guys really are stupid..." Konor took a step back and pulled Kasey back with him. "Electibuzz back off, this is all over..."

Prof Pine
"Wait no!!!!"

Kasey
"Too easy," the air was super damp and with an easy charge of electricity the room would light up, "Thunder Bolt!" As the Pikachu approached Jolteon the Pokemon, the room exploded throwing the trainers and Pokemon in every direction. Each starter fainted and that building collapsed in a burst of electrical energy! "Too bad, I was looking forward to getting some new Pokemon.

@Everyone
You all wake up in the hospital a few days later, Proffessor Pine was killed in the explosion. Whether you guys feel guilty or not, this attack was just another tally of Global fear chalked up against the infamous Team Tesla. You are each reunited with your Pokemon after a few days, they were badly wounded but they survived.

Proffessor Willow
"Hello, I am Proffessor Willow... I'm so sorry about what happened," a grey, spikey haired man wearing a lab coat stood outside the hospital as you four exit probably arguing. "What happened was not your fault... Team Tesla is pure evil, you guys didn't stand a chance."

He gazed at professor willow silently for a moment before glancing down at his charmander then back to willow.

"Things happen when all doesn't go according to plan. All one can do is learn from the experience and become better as a result.

"I do appreciate your attempt at assisting with the plan. However scattering the water was what allowed it to happen. If it would have all been in one area they wouldn't have been able to pull the trick they did. As I said though. You do have my thanks for at least attempting to help."

He then quietly turned to Sam and stared at him blankly for a moment before speaking.

"Yes. I am a pyromaniac. Yes I could possibly join Tesla one day. Who knows. But what you predict the future may hold should not dictate how you act now. Your lack to try and work with me willing could quite possibly caused something that could have been worse in a way than a trip to the hospital. Also charging headlong against obviously stronger Pokemon and the type disadvantage? The heck kinda suicide run were you trying to pull? I would have expected better from one of the top mock battlers."

He then finally looked to Nick and nodded a bit.

"I'll give you credit as well. You did good. You thought of where strength and weaknesses were and you tried your best to exploit them. That's all you can do in a situation like that..."

He then closed his eyes in thought for a moment before looking back at each of them.

"Yes... I did just critique you. And rather bluntly. But I felt after that stunt a few days ago a debrief needed to happen. I know where my own faults were as well so don't think I am trying to say my performance was impeccable. But if you guys can't handle the blunt opinion of your peers...how would you react if a stranger critiques you?"

He then turned back to professor willow.

"I'm sorry about that sir... it's just been on my chest the past couple of days and I needed to get it off."

"Suicide run?" Sam was deeply offended to the point of interrupting Willow, "I didn't want to boil people and Pokemon alive! I wanted to short circuit their power not kill them!!!" Sam turned to Vice, "and because you couldn't mind your own Buisness a woman is dead and I am thousands in hospital debt!!!" He looked to Nick but couldn't say anything, he was ashamed in his friend for letting the others turn on him when he was just trying not to keep everyone safe. Sam felt defeated and returned Squirtle to his pokeball, he began to walk away... "Nice to meet you Prof. Willow, but I better get going."

Vice scoffed at Sam's arrogance of it all. "They're electric pokemon. Can't exactly be zapped very easily by their own attacks. I'm in agreeance with the pyromaniac." Pointing a thumb at Bard. "Better to stay in the present then future." His glare turned far harsher though. "And because of your indecision to cooperate the professor is dead." Jabbing a finger at Sam. "Your little stunt cost us a life and thousands of dollars. This hospital visit-" waving his arm open to the building. "It's on you. While the rest of us tried to recover from you're incapability, they gained an upper hand to an already beneficial situation!" His right hand swung up to hit the wall with a fist. "Because of you-" Vice didn't finish his thoughts, walking away, and down the hall. "Don't cross me again. Murderer."

"Whoa, whoa, hold on there!" Nick interrupted, very uncharacteristically for the quite lad, but he wasn't going to just sit around and let his friend be called a murder. "Sam was just trying to keep the electricity from moving in a straight trajectory, you were the one who butted in and turned the whole room into a bomb!" Nick defended. "I mean, Water Gun, on an Ember, no way was there going to be enough mist to really cover us anyway, but I guess I'm partially at fault to for not speaking up about it in the first place, so how dare you call Sam a murder you self righteous dick!" Nick says to Vice. Before he could respond he tried to run after Sam.

@All- Sam was gone, knowing his friend defended him... a silence fell over the group as Sam walked off away from the bullying to fufill his own destiny.

Willow
"None of you deserved Proffessor Pine's gifts... Maybe you," he pointed at Nick. "The way I see it you two have two choices, either travel with this Nick fellow and learn to be kind to both people and Pokemon, or I can take back your starters and give them to teens who deserve them." He gave a stern look to the two, and a pleading look to Nick. "You have till dawn to decide, the local Sleeping Snorlax Hotel will recieve you for a free nights rest... I've already paid for your rooms."

He stood there silent as the professor spoke. Taking in every word as he listened before turning and starting to head towards the hotel.

"I got no qualms with working...or at least attempting to work with others. Consider my decision already made."

He then chuckled softly as he walked off towards the hotel.

"I'm gonna get a head start as I need to do some research... I'll meet you guys there."
