Ilya raised an eyebrow. He seriously doubt that they had this under control, and the tall man before him was very suspicious, maybe even a little intimidating.

The ship's horn went off. The ship approached the dock, slowed down, then came to a complete stop. Trainers from the many different regions were gathered in an orderly fashioned and were led off the ship. Island security officers showed and ordered everyone to gather in the at the central plaza.

Ilya was coincidentally with Itsuko, the man and woman from this morning, all squished together amongst the crowd. Up in front of the plaza was a massive was a massive video screen. When everyone was hushed down, the screen came on and everyone was greeted by a man with golden in a red suit.

"That's my Uncle Grigori." Ilya said with a cheeky grin.

The horn sounded with a large bellow, which woke up Caspian in heartbeat. He hadnt remembered falling to sleep at all on the trip, more suprisingly at night hours, where he hardly felt sleepy at all. He was about to contemplate this change of nature when he twigged onto a very likely scenario.

Caspian glared upwards from his quater's bed, and saw a large tongue, justabout to give him a lick. "Pride, did you use Hypnosis..?" The Haunter looked away as if in fake innocence. Caspian rolled his eyes at the culprit and got out of bed, still wearing the same clothes he had began the trip on, coat and all.

The light of day made Caspian squint, from being so used to the dark, but his eyes quickly adjusted. Haunter looked at him, expectantly hoping he could go back into his nice, dark dusk ball. Caspian nodded, and withdrew Haunter from holding the ball over his shoulder. Glancing over toward the deck, he saw a host of lively and interesting characters. It was a shame he had slept through the entire cruise, so hardly knew any of them. He also noticed it was getting a bit crowded down near the dock.

Caspian smirked and got out a pokeball lined with blue dots and a black casing. "Lets take a different route, eh girl?" Caspian threw his ball into the air, as it opened and let out a large shape next to the boat. A Gyrados rose up to the deck of the Great Harmony and bowed to let Caspian mount. Caspian braced himself, as the Gyrados lowered its head, and began to make its way to the big screen.

"I hope I can make it there, may be my only chance to see the big man" ushered Caspian under his breath, as sea water splashed around him.

Connor stared at the screen, taking note of his primary target. However, having already gained attention of a few people already he was going to have to work quickly. And even though there was a huge crowd, he managed to discern the feminine boy's comment. He couldn't exactly tell what the boy said, but based on his smile Connor concluded that he must be a relative which made it all the more reason to work fast.

Mom's going to be pissed that I already attracted attention, Connor thought, especially the relative of the target. Going to have to work fast I guess...without attracting anymore attention that I had.

[Frou tutted at the crowd closing in around her, shooting disapproving glances in all directions as she wondered what all the fuss was about. Dry land was a blessing, but being squished together like a herd of Mareeps was hardly an improvement.

She squinted blankly at the seemingly endless screen above her as it flickered on, projecting the large, beaming features of a broad-shouldered man. She rolled her painted eyes, taking note of the boasting young boy next to her.
"You're related to him?" The style-conscious woman smirked as she eyed the unmanful blonde, hardly able to believe that one day the simpering, effeminate child might grow into an important member of society.

Disregarding the small voice that chimed out beside her again, Frou mindlessly reorientated her fascinator and tuned in once more on the booming instructions of this Mr. Grigori.]

Caspian was approaching the Beach at quite some speed as he was getting near to te shore. He was wondering if he'd actually slow down. "Okay girl, thats enough..."

Caspian's Gyrados looked a bit too eager to get to the beach, so much so that it didnt realise its speed. Caspian braced himself for impact as his ride crashed and beached itself, flinging Caspian a good few feet, letting him slide to a stop on the sand. he glanced over to his pokemon, noticing it had fainted on impact. With a sigh, Caspian withdrew Leviathan (the name he had given her as a joke when she was a magikarp), and pulled himself up.

Just a few feet ahead were the large crowd of people, staring intently. Caspian rushed over, hoping to see the benefactor of this great event.
He got to the big crowd, keeping just outside the pushing and shoving, and glared upwards toward the screen.

"Greetings, young trainers." The man on the screen announced. "And welcome to the Battle Isles. As you already know, you've all been invited to participate in the Warrior King Festival. I am Grigori Crater and I will be the Director of this contest. What will separate this from any other Pokemon competition is quite simple. You all will be traveling and battling across the different isles that surround the central island."

Smaller screens appeared on the main screen, large enough for the participants to see and read. "The rules will be simple. First, you must register yourself and your Pokemon at the central terminals. If you don't then you will be unable to participate in the Warrior King Festival and will be escorted off the island. After registration, you will be given an ID card and a map of the isles. Your cards will have signature colored frame. When the contest begins, all screens will have your color marked on the area you're suppose to go. At your designated area, you will face off against each other in Pokemon battles. Each participant will have two chances in the contest, so if you lose twice, you will out of the tournament. The last several trainers left standing will face off in the Director's Stadium for the finale. The winner of the Warrior King's Festival will win the honorary title of Pokemon King or Queen, one million dollars, and the ownership of a brand new one-of-a-kind, never-before-seen Pokemon."

The crowd started whispering amongst themselves. "After this broadcast, proceed to the central terminals to begin your registration. Afterwards, you will be escorted to the Warrior Quarters. The contest will begin at 12 PM sharp, so you will have enough time to settle into your dorms and prepare yourselves. If you have any questions, please speak to the working staff; they're here to help you. You've all taken the first step beyond the mere Pokemon tournaments you've all been familiar with. Fight will all your might and win to become a Pokemon King!"

The screen faded to black. Ilya was psyched and turned towards Itsuko. "I'm so excited! Come on, let's go!" He grabbed Itsuko's hand and started running towards the central terminals with everyone else.

The crowds slowly left as they began registering themselves. Connor remembered that Officer Jenny had given him a fake Battle Island ID...unfortunately, he seemed to have misplaced it.

Damnit, he cursed under his breath. I'll have to get another one. Let's just hope it doesn't recognize me. Walking towards one of the terminals, he bumped into another trainer.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing, bub?" asked the annoyed trainer. A quick glare from Connor was all that took to shut him up.

As the minutes ticked, Connor grew impatient. He decided to force himself to the front of another line that was beginning to die down. Running towards the almost disappearing line, he bulldozed several contestants including a familiar girl that he toyed with at the boat moments ago.

[The force of a tall, broad figure barrelling past her made the off-mauve clutch bag fall from Frou's hands, its contents spilling on the floor beside her. Her furious glare flickered to the coat-clad blur as he rushed on, and Frou contemplated yelling curses at him, changing her mind when she noticed trainers in the other ques smirking at her.
'That's okay,' She thought to herself rather bitterly as she bent down, scooping piles of various cosmetics and trinkets back into her bag with a soft "hmmph". 'I needed to get my ID out anyway'.
She'd get her vengeance later.

The registration process went rather smoothly, despite Frou's declined request to fill out the relevant forms using her own quill pen.
"I guess you don't like Pidgeys, huh?" The young lady asked as she eyed the poor woman behind the desk, who, in turn, was eyeing the plucked flight feather with a rather queasy expression. Once her ID had been confirmed and handed back to her, Frou glanced at the clock in the corner of the hall. 10:15. More than enough time to find a canister of cigars.]

Caspian walked through the crowds and got in line to wait. While he was waiting for an area to register became open, he began to look at future competitors and friends. He saw one of the employees with an ill expression, discussing about a pen using a pidgey feather.

"Whats wrong with a normal ball-point" Caspian ushered quietly to himself. He just waited patiently from then on, wondering about what new pokemon he could add to his party.

Caspian eventually got to register, and passed his ID over. The Registeration went over quite smoothly, beside the little Haunter escapade, when he tried to be the Pen-Poultergeist.

Caspian turned on his heels, and began to walk slowly, head down toward the doors to begin his adventure on this island. His coat slightly blowing in a breeze. Without looking where he was going, he bumped the shoulder of a woman, looking a bit like an aristocrat, holding a pidgey feather quill. He just nodded his head in her direction, not really caring about what was going on around him or people's reactions.

Caspian continued to walk toward the door, to get out of the crowds of people as fast as possible.

Director Crater sat back in his chair to relax. "This shall go by smoothly."

"Hey, Boss," a brash woman's voice called from behind. Standing behind him were three young adults in black uniforms with golden highlights. The one who spoke was a busty woman with short, spiky green hair. "Why aren't you letting us be part of the tournament?"

"Because I need you three to watch over the Warrior King Festival, and snuff out any suspicious contestants." Grigori replied in his usual monotone voice.

"Suspicious contestants, sir?" Said a young man with combed back red hair. He had an emotionless, stoic voice.

"It's not far-fetched to say that the authorities from the mainlands have grown suspicious of this tournament. An agent could be amongst the combatants as we speak."

"I still don't understand why we can't enter the contest ourselves. We can beat everyone with ease." Said a young man with bowl-cut shaped blue hair.

"That's exactly why I'm not having you three in the tournament. If you just bulldoze through everything, our plans won't work. We need every single contestant to fight as hard as they can, to provide a lot of energy from all trainers in all battles." Grigori explained, still looking out at the people below.

"As you wish, sir," said the stoic red-head.

"However, I do have something in mind for you three," Grigori finally turned to look at the three trainers with a smirk on his face.

-

Ilya fell back onto his new bed. Registration went by smoothly and easily found his way to his dorm. His ID was marked with a red frame, meaning that his first battle will take place on whatever island will have the same colored frame.

Ilya was happy to know that this will be his first step in achieving his true goal when suddenly his stomach started growling, making him realize that he hadn't had breakfast yet.

He opened his backpack and put on his belt that held his six Poke Balls, then zipped up his backpack and held it over his shoulder.

"Come on, everyone," he said his Poke Balls. "Let's go eat and then play." He closed his dorm's door behind him and made his way to the buffet.

Connor made through the front, having already knocked dozens of people down. Registration was a sinch and the female employee winked at him. He liked girls, he just couldn't figure out how to be nice as he snatched the ID from her.

It had a blue-colored frame, which was different from his yellow-green fake one. As far as Connor was concerned, that means they still haven't got on to him. They have got to be pretty stupid to not have me found out yet, Connor thought with a smirk, his ego getting dangerously over his head when he bumped into another woman.

[Once again reunited with her precious cigars, Frou stood by the entrance to the large hall, struggling with her lighter. She felt someone brush against her shoulder - although she managed to keep hold of all her belongings this time. The figure, a tallish man with blue hair and a certain shroud of mischief and mystery about him, nodded at her. In response, the young woman uttered a muffled "hello" through her cigar, as friendly in its nature as someone of Frou's demeanour could muster, then returned to her own tasks. The weather was pleasant, and the wind - although it was strong enough to whip the stranger's coat - was mild.

Frou noticed all the trainers around her tending to their Pokemon, and she promptly felt left out. Deciding that perhaps this wasn't quite a place befitting for any of her prettier Pokemon, she rifled through her bag, searching out a certain Master ball. Once she'd found what she was looking for, she freed her pet - an unevolved female Zigzagoon, who she had quite imaginatively named "Ziggy".
She didn't understand why people thought her pet's names were stupid.]

Caspian exited the registration building into the daylight gleaming through the white clouds. He took out Pride's pokeball and called him back, seeing how long until the ghost got bored and tried to break free from its bonds again. Deciding to give another one of his pokemon some fresh air, he started to count the pokeballs on his belt.

After a bit of thought, he finally selected one, and pulled it from his side, the ball enlarging in his palm. He gently tossed it up, and a white shape sprung out of its ball like home. "Come on out Victor".

A Venemoth materialised from the white light, and took its side next to its master. Looking quite pleased, its began to bob up and down happily while it flew along next to Caspian. "Now, lets see where we need to get to..."

Caspian opened up a map he had found on the ship, on his bedside table. Whether it was there for him or not didnt seem so important now. He did see 4 islands sprouting from the main, which he was currently on. Near the reception building was something that looked like accomadation. Caspian took out his ID, which was a Dark Blue around its frame, and glanced back toward the map. "Well, I suppose I better get to the building and find my room before it gets dark. Dont want to miss a single moment of the Night-life".

With that, Caspian and Venemoth headed in the general direction of the accomadation, to unpack and get bac out as fast as possible.

Trainers were crowded at the cafeterias. The buffets were enriched with all kinds of food from the most simple to the lavishly exquisite. There was another buffet for Pokemon food.

Ilya made his way out from the crowd, carrying seven dishes, with three in each hand stacked on top of each other and the seventh on top of his head. Making his way outside while trying to keep his balance, he spotted an empty spot near a tree. "Perfect." He said to himself and made his way towards and gently set the six Pokemon dishes down and then his own. He sighed in relief and said "I've still got it."

It was nice outside. The sun was warming things out and the breeze was pleasant.

Ilya pulled out his Poke Balls and released all six of his Pokemon. He handed a dish of Pokemon food to his Simipour, next his Audino, then his Scolipede, then his Escavalier, and then his Krookodile.

"And here's your dish, Lilligant," Ilya smiled and handed the sixth dish to his personal favorite Pokemon.

"Unyuu," The feminine, humanoid plant Pokemon cooed and accepted the dish.

Ilya sat back against the tree and started eating his own dish, heated apple tarts; his favorite breakfast meal. He observed the area for a while, watching trainers eat and feed their Pokemon, until he spotted some familiar faces, the man and woman he met on the ship earlier.

Connor had made it to one of the cafetarias, having almost blown his cover and getting into scuffles with many of the folks. Connor wasn't much of a big eater, but he hasn't eaten anything since last night prior to getting on the boat. He took out 5 Poke Balls, but shivered nervously when he reached for the sixth one. He decided it would be best for that one to come out later.

He released his Pokemon outside, all of them shaking off the effects of being cooped up in there for so long. Arcanine howled as if the moon was still out, Skarmory took Raichu into the sky, Scizor sat near the tree meditating, and Garyados growled while it went swimming across the lake pool.

"You guys stay here until I come back with your meals", Connor told them. His Pokemon cried out, acknowledging that they heard him. Connor went back inside and found the lines getting shorter. He got in line and waited for those in front of him to get their food.

He didn't realize the target's nephew was looking at him.
