The pokemon professor birch have him was almost hard to believe. It looked like some kind of drug reaction, hence his name. For now, the spiritomb resided outside of its pokeball while they wandered around the first route outside of littleroot. His journey to becoming a coordinator started here and he planned to work hard to achieve his goal. It made him nervous though, thinking about standing on the stage alone with his pokemon while he showed off what they could do. He had also received a tm, poison jab, and he was fairly certain that spiritomb couldn't learn it. Figures. Maybe other coordinators would have a tm that Tripp could learn if the other coordinators were nice. "Lets go tripp, if we want to make it to petalburg by nightfall, we should get going." he smiled back at the pokemon before they moved farther down route 101.

OUR FLAWS LAY HAND IN HAND
Calvin had recently come back to visit his family in littleroot, telling them all the pokemon and people he has met so far. Him and Flaws were now forming a strong bond, a better bond than his grimer at least. Calvin was starting to walk back up to oldale when he noticed a person in the distance with some kind of pokemon by his feet. His Zorua (who was sprawled across the top of his head) yipped excitedly, sginaling Calvin to go see what the pokemon was.
Calvin stepped closer and closer, to see a young man, probably his age and a rare ghost/dark type pokemon. Calvin couldn't help it, but his jaw dropped at the sight of it, "Wow... A Spiritomb!"
~Ah crap! I bet he heard me!~
Calvin waited for the inevitable, he waited for the person to turn around and talk to him... Great.
Spiritomb wouldn't have been his first choice of pokemon of hed gotten to pick, but the thing was kind of growing on him. It was weird as hell, dut different. He heard a sound that sounded like someone was behind him, speaking of Tripp. He turned to find someone else around his age with a zorua on his head. What could be cooler than a zorua? The thing was so cute and later it would be so intimidating when it evolved. Tripp would never evolve, but he learned some pretty great moves for battles and contests. "Hey, I'm Lyss. This is Tripp," He motioned to the spiritomb before continuing. "You got a zorua from the professor? That's pretty awesome!" He wish spiritomb was smaller and could ride on his head too, but he figured his pokemon was unique enough already.
Calvin sighed the moment the other person started talking to him. Why can't he just be invisible? That way he could avoid as many people as he wanted. He stared at Lyss with an bored face, "Cool."
Calvin scooped up the Zorua on his head and wrapped his arms around him, holding his pokemon tightly to his chest. Flaws didn't really mind, he just yawned and flopped over his arms, practically sleeping already, "And for your information, Zorua wasn't given to me. I found him in the wild."
Zorua yawned with approval, then snuggled back in Calvin's arms again. Calvin couldn't help but stare at the mesmerising flashing lights in the Spiritomb, it was truly a sight to behold. Calvin looked the other man up and down, being the way Calvin was, he was very good at knowing what people were like based on their looks, they way they talk and how they act.
Calvin scoffed and gave him a cheeky smile, "Your a coordinator aren't you? Odd, you look more of a trainer to me, but trainers don't tend to have more of a relaxed stance, you look like you're about to break into a dance or something."
"That's even better than professor birch. If you don't mind me asking, was he injured when you found him?" not that it was really any of his business, but he was curious to see if this kid essentially rescued the pokemon or just caught it after a battle. Their bond seemed close, so he doubted it was just a capture unless theyd been together longer than he thought.
He laughed then when he spoke; the last thing lyss could do was dance. "I am a coordinator, but I can't dance so I dunno where you got that part from." He laughed some more, as did Tripp at his side. "Are you a trainer?" He asked then, figuring as much.

OUR FLAWS LAY HAND IN HAND
Calvin puffed his chest out a little bit when the other man asked about how he got his pokemon. Calvin could remember how he met Flaws, so tiny yet filled with so much power. He remembered how much Flaws risked just to keep Calvin safe from the wild pokemon.
"I-..." Calvin was going to tell the man to piss off and mind his own business, but he decided he might as well tell the story to someone, "I found him in the forest just over there... Turns out he'd been visiting me disguised as different pokemon. I then followed him, but... We were attacked by a wild Cacnea and... Well, this little one saved me but got poisoned by it. I had to run back to Professor Birch to get him healed."
He sighed, the other man probably thought he was stupid, risking his own safety to save a pokemon, but Calvin adored Flaws with all his heart. He didn't care what other thought of him. He was then asked if he was a trainer, he laughed weakly and clapped very slowly, "You are correct."
Calvin then tapped his chin, "Hmmm, say, coordinators carry TM's with them do they not? Care to share which one you have?"
Calvin smiled and raised an eyebrow, as much as he wanted to leave the man alone and carry on walking, he needed to make his pokemon stronger and would take every opportunity to do so.
Upon hearing the boys story, his brows raised. It didn't surprise him really, but it did because he was talking to the person that was saved. Hed heard stories before of people being saved by pokemon, but never had he actually met one of them. That's really special, y'all seem really close from it," He smiled looking at the zorua then. It was awfully cute, but he liked the strange look his Tripp had even if it wasn't the best face for contests.
"Oh I got um... Poison jab." he had to think for a minute and he almost had to look and see, but he remembered before he started to look. It was virtually useless in his spiritomb, so he wasn't really all that excited about it.

Bleurgh! Calvin hated it when people went all soppy, but he hated it more when he went all soppy. Why was this person being so nice? Calvin puffed his chest out a little more and tensed his arms, trying to act more intimidating but clearly failing.
He quickly let his guard down when he heard the words 'poison jab', his eyes sparkled and his mouth curved into a smile, "Poison jab! I have a pokemon that would love that TM."
~Ok Calvin, remember what you said, save your money, dont keep blowing it on stuff...~
This was it, he'd have to use his charm (if he had any) to try and get the TM without spending money. He stepped a little closer to the man, removing the distance between them. Giving him a coy smile, he raised eyebrow, "What do you want for it?"
He listened as he spoke about on of his pokemon learning the tm he carried and waited, assuming this kid was going to offer some kind of trade. When He didn't and left it open for him to decide, he smirked.
"How about a one on one battle. If you win, I'll teach your pokemon the move. But if you lose, you have to go on a date with me." He smirked, wating to see his reaction. He was mostly serious, but he couldn't assume this kid would even go on a date with him anyways because He knew nothing about him - not even his name. "For the record, my name's Lyss, he smiled, hoping to figure out this boys name.

...Excuse me? What was happening?! A date?! What?! Ok yeah, Calvin was trying to seduce the man but... Great. Calvin sighed, "Pretty sure you already said that, Lyss... But, my names Calvin."
He ran his fingers through his hair and huffed, rolling his eyes. Well, he had to win to get this TM and win he would. Grabbing one of his pokeballs, he clciked the button and sent his Grimer out in front of him.
"Ok Venom. Please do better this time." Calvin said with a half hearted smile.
Grimer blooped out his pokeball and started bobbing around like the useless jelly he is. He started humming and bubbling and making all kinds of strange sounds, along with the occasional burp.
"Oh... My bad." He chuckled and blushed lightly. Calvin seemed confident that he would win, almost cocky, so Lyss hoped he would come out on top. Besides, he didn't turn down his offer and released a grimer from its pokeball. He assumed this is the pokemon he wanted the tm for, unless He already had three or more pokemon.
"Alright Tripp, use confuse ray then shadow sneak!" having done some research when he obtained Tripp, the pokemon knew quite a few starter moves. He couldn't complain and smiled as the pokemon sent a ray at the grimer in hopes of confusing it, then sneaking around to try and scare it from behind.

Calvin noticed the man blush, he had to look away quickly before he found it cute, ew was Calvin feeling emotions?!
~blimey, he isn't gonna mess around.~ Calvin thought with a sly smile.
The ray of confusion zipped towards Grimer, but luckily, Grimer's aimless bobbing allowed him to dodge it. Calvin looked back up to see the Spiritomb, only, it wasn't there anymore. Where did it go?!
"Griiii!"
The Spiritomb had jumped up behind his pokemon, attacking it from behind. Grimer went rolling forwards in a ball of purple goo. "Poison Gas! Quick!" ordered Calvin.
Venom latched back onto the ground and started to swell, then like a grenade, an explosion of dark green gas erupted from his mouth all around the area they were fighting in. Calvin had to cover his mouth to stop himself from inhaling the poison.
"Ok Venom, be careful of that sneak attack!" warned Calvin, keeping a careful eye on the ghost pokemon.
The confuse ray missed, but that didn't matter much. The shadow sneak landed though and he smirked, but he didn't feel confident using the attack so soon after. Coordinators never use the same move twice in a row, so why should he in a battle? The more he thought about it, he couldn't really make that rule. Before he could finish the thought, a putrid stench filled the air and he covered his mouth before he could inhale too much. "Double up on pursuit, make sure it hits!" it was then he noticed that spiritomb was poisoned, but charged after the grimer anyway, only to have health sapped away by the poisoning.
TRIPP LVL05 - PRESSURE 92% curse - pursuit - confuse ray - spite - shadow sneak Tripp was poisoned! Tripp used pursuit x2! Tripp was hurt by poisoning!
