The Ninetails on her lap seemed to be enjoying herself and that made Aya happy. She laughed when Snow thrust her head into Aya's hand. "I get it, I get it. You want it here right?" She scratched behind Snow's ears. She always lost track of where she was and who was around when she was having fun with Pokemon and she didn't notice the other girl approach until she asked her name. "Oh, uh, m-my name is," the smile disappeared from her face and she pulled up her scarf again. "I'm Aya Hasegawa. Pleased to meet you." She gave a slight bow, well to the best of her ability with Snow on her lap, and went back to fawning over Snow.

The Devil
Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession
The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.
Grey let out a sigh. In truth, he was eavesdropping on Aya's "conversation" with the ninetails. "Guess she wasn't the trainer I wanted to exchange words with afterall. Well, there goes that plan," he said to himself as he pushed himself off of the wall he was leaning on. Eventually he saw a trainer with a Murkrow. The black bird pokemon was yanking the kid down the hall to the cafeteria. Grey stifled a laugh before deciding he should make a trip to the cafeteria himself.
OOC: Sorry Kratour but I'm going to soft-RP steel for a bit.
After about a minute-long walk, he made it to the cafeteria. The trainer with the Murkrow was still dragged against his will. He didn't have time to laugh about that some more as he heard the distinct call of "Riolu!" He turned his head to see the pokemon leep from the table to save a fallen cookie. "Fool!" thought grey as he took action. He dived forward catching the Riolu, preventing it from falling flat on it's face. The cookie, on the other hand had no rescuer and crumbled as it made contact with the floor. Grey stood up, putting the Riolu down before dusting himself off. "Geez. You shouldn't just jump off tables like that. What would your trainer do if you got hurt?" The Riolu looked at it's crumbled cookie before looking back up at Grey with it's beady eyes. "Aw man. Don't look at me like that... Okay fine, I'll replace your cookie. How does that sound?"
Lloyd's Driver stopped, giving him a chance to breathe and look around, only to see and hear why Raven had let go. They both saw a little Riolu that seemed to have gotten excited due to their antics. Raven started to laugh at this, and then they noticed it about dive for a cookie, and then somone dived and caught the little one. Lloyd rushed over, Raven still laughing like mad, "Are you both okay?"

The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.
The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.
Steel gave a little sniffle, a single tear rolling down his furry cheek as he dropped to his knees before the crumbled cookie. He stared at it for a moment, looking like he was about to burst out crying- then he giggled and threw out a loud, "Riolu!" before jumping back up to his feet. He looked up at the humans around him, smiling at them, then hopped up onto a chair and used it to help him make his way up to the table- no mean feat, mind you. Once there, he turned back to the little group and smiled once more, happy to find that they were still there. "Ri- Riolu!" he said, padding over to his bag and looking in to see how many cookies were left. Four. He turned to look at the two humans and the Murkrow, then turned back to the bag, subconsciously matching them each up to a cookie. He laughed, happy to find that he had enough, and pulled the back over to the edge of the table, holding one side open towards the small group as he waited expectantly. "Ri, ri." he chimed, looking from them to the bag and back in an almost-exaggerated manner.
~~~
Aya hesitated once as her name was asked- then stopped petting Snow altogether, which was more than enough to draw the fox's attention. She turned her he to look up at her newly found friend to find that the girl in question had pulled up her scarf and, though she'd returned to delivering Snow her much needed attention, she still seemed a bit off, not as careless as she had been. Still, she was getting behind Snow's ears, so really, there was no need to rock the boat, right? Wrong- or so her tails thought. One drifted upwards, brushing up against Aya's cheek as a few others moved to cover the fox and, by extension, the girl she was sitting on in a slightly defensive manner.

Go beyond the impossible and kick reason to the curb, that's what we do.
"I'm fine," replied Grey to the Murkrow trainer. "But you have any idea what this Riolu wants?" Riolu was frantically trying to communicate something. "This is a strange one. Sad about it's cookie one moment, and suddenly happy the next." "You want us to look in your bag?" he asked, stepping forward and doing so. Unsuprisingly, Riolu's bag contained cookies. "So... you don't need me to get you another cookie?" Grey turned to the other trainer and shrugged.
The Riolu in question gave a slight huff, "Ri- Riolu!" he said, like it was completely obvious was he was trying to say. Evidently, though, it wasn't. So, his very limited patience giving out, Steel stepped around to the front of the bag and reached in to pull out a cookie. He turned, holding it out towards the closest human- but found that he'd turned around. "Ri, ri, ri..." he said, jabbing the cookie towards him to punctuate each syllable. Unfortunately, the comparatively large cookie threw Steel off balance, and after a panicked moment, he fell backwards in a heap, shouting his name in surprise.

"Riolu!" Grey heard the pokemon cry. Expecting another problem, he swiftly turned around. He only found Riolu laying back on the table clutching a cookie. "Oh. The cookies are a little large for you so you need some help. No wonder you've been acting all clumsy and stuff," remarked as he grabbed the cookie before helping Riolu back up to his feet. He held the cookie up to Riolu's face, expecting him to eat it with less difficulty. "What an irresponsible trainer you have little guy. Seriously, just leaving you here with cookies you can barely handle."
(OOC: I'll start the tournament, as you'll see when you read the post this won't be done like an usual tournament, and you'll also be free to PM other players and discuss your own matches. Mt. Battle has several stadiums so there can be several battles happening at the same time, once everyone's done with their battles we'll be moving this forward.)
The several television screens spread out around Mt. Battle suddenly turned on, on the screen was being filmed a Nurse Joy, who had been apparently called out to be the tournament's narrator. "Hello everyone! This is Joy. I have two good news for you, the first one, is that the tournament will start in moments!" Several of the trainers spread out all around Mt. Battle yelled out in happiness. "And the other good news is that, first, we'll be revising this tournament's rules via this video." The yells of happiness turned into a moan of depression wich echoed through all of Mt. Battle.
Nurse Joy's left eye twitched slightly when she heard the moans, but she kept her face happy and cheerful, she then started.
"This tournament will not be organized by trainers, rather, it will be organized by individual pokemon. Since there are many trainers in here who do not carry a full group of six pokemon, we thought that it would be best if we sticked to these rules. We will sort out two random pokemon from the registered databank and then these two pokemon will battle. Depending if the battle is a victory, loss or tie, each player will be awarded a certain number of points. A victory means 2 points for the winning pokemon, a tie means both pokemon get 1 point. And, obviously, defeat awards you with no points at all. The ten trainers with the most points by the end of the tournament will receive a special badge from the renowned, Professor Krane!" An image of Professor Krane, looking incredibly beautiful and sparkly, clearly edited in some image editing software, was displayed behind Nurse Joy.
Nurse Joy then continued. "Well then! Let's get on with our first contestants! The first pokemon who will be fighting each other are..." Two slots appeared on the screen, and the image inside of them started changing very quickly as the system randomed out two pokemon. The image stopped on the image of an Eevee and, as the opponent a Delcatty. "The Eevee, V, owned by Howard Taylor, against Jelli, the Delcatty, owned by Myra Raloy!" Howard stared at the screen and sighed. "So much for keeping the best for last..." V hopped cheerfully, having alredy recovered from her food poisoning. Howard patted the Eevee's head. "Yes, yes, i know, i'm excited about it too, well, let's get on with it then, right?" With that said, Howard walked out towards his assigned arena number, wich was showing in the screen.
Nurse joy then got the slots rolling again. "And the next contestants will be..."

Yin nodded, saying, "My name is Yin Shengshun. My adopted brother is participating in the tournament." With a worried look, she said, "please be careful against him."
With that, she went to the stands with Mao, who thought as he passed the Ninetails, "okay, now I know something's off with that Ninetails... it's been ogling me all the while when it was being petted!!"
(OOC: I hope that last sentence was appropriate... I don't want to god-mod or anything.)

Myra herd her name and looked at the screen "Oh...Great...I kinda didn't want to fight him yet..." Jelli looked up at Myra and squeaked in excitement. "Okay...Ready Jelli?
Myra picked up Jelli and headed to the arena she was assigned to. She stood in place and looked at Howard. "Have a good match'" she said smiling.
CINDERELLA WALKED ON BROKEN GLASS, SLEEPING BEAUTY LET A WHOLE LIFETIME PASS, BELLE FELL IN LOVE WITH A HIDEOUS BEAST, JASMINE MARRIED A COMMON THEIF, ARIEL WALKED ON LAND FOR LOVE AND LIFE, SNOW WHITE BARELY ESCAPED A KNIFE, IT WAS ALL ABOUT BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS BECASE LOVE MEANS FACING YOUR BIGGEST fears
(OoC: Do we decide who we fight or are you gonna assign it to us?)
"Huh, that was kinda weird," Aya said to Snow. "Wonder what that was all about." She looked toward this spinning roulette on the screen intently. This is it...! If I win, what will happen? Or worse, what if I lose? She shook her head to clear her negative thoughts. No time to think of that now! I just have to focus on the match!

(OOC: I made it clear that the NPC October was going to be Hei's target, but I fixed some stuff up in my notes for the RP, so now Hei is going to act more normal for the situation... but, if you want, his take-down of October to neutralize him can be one of three things: 1) October is arrested, 2) October gets killed by Hei using his swords (not going to happen unless it's approved), or 3) October is a recurring bad guy like Team Rocket in the anime... for a short time. Up to Nicsp for sure, not going to do anything else with the idea until I know what s/he has to say, okay?)
Hei was waiting for his match to start when he noticed that October was smoking in the waiting room. Now, he normally never had much thought into what others did, but he didn't want to have people kicked out for mistakes like that... except when they're criminals, but that's not important... still, he decided to get the man to quit.
"Hey, October, what about smoking outside the area?"
October looked at him, then said, "okay, I guess... besides, I don't have a nicotine rush."
After getting rid of the cigarettes October decided to pace around... no questions asked.
(OOC: I just posted that for place-holder purposes... not sure what I'm really going to do.)

You're probably better off assigning people here Niscp. Everyone's too passive to just choose.
(OoC: I can take you all on! RAWR! *confidence went up by 5* ! )
Llyod smirked and chuckled at the little Riolu, he couldn't understand a thing it was saying, but damn, it was alll so cute. His Murkrow on the other hand, understood very clearly, Free Cookie. So it hopped off of Llyods head and snatched a cookie for itself, made squak, and flew onto a lamp post.
"Err...I don't speak pokemon very well, and I know Raven's no theif...did you just offer everyone cookies little guy?" Llyod leaned towards Steel and rubbed his head.
Then He finally realized why the area was calming down, the matches where going to start soon, and tha pairings had allready started!
Raven, with crums around its feathers and beak, landed on Lloyd and started to drive him away again, appearantly one of his pokemon was up. Which one he had no clue, against who, he had no clue, all he knew was that Raven knew what was going on, and Lloyd could feel it.
(OoC: I'm fighting Satou >=D ).

Mao was mad... no, mad wouldn't describe it. Instead, he was pissed. How come, you ask? Simple. He didn't get the right kind of cat food, it was meant for Meowths!!
(OOC: In Darker Than BLACK, Mao likes eating kibble, and I'm just playing on that one.)
Yin noticed that Mao wanted the Persian food, but couldn't do a thing to fix it, instead opting to deal with this later. She noticed that October was going to fight Hei soon, and motioned to Mao to pay attention, or else no Persian kibble.
(OOC: More placeholder goodness... I hope.)

Aya's Blaziken appeared on the screen. "Looks like I'm up," she said to Snow. "Sorry, but I have to go now." She tried her best to gently move Snow to disturb her as little as possible. She succeeded for the most part. "Maybe we'll meet again. See ya!" She gave a quick wave and trotted off to her assigned stadium. Stadium 9, huh? Wonder who's gonna show up. She assumed a battle stance. Bring it on...!

"Well, who would have thought?" mummbled Grey, as he picked up the Riolu. "Well little guy, let's see if you can find your trainer for ya." Grey started making his way out of the cafeteria, occasionally looking at the screens to see if he was paired up yet. None of the numbers were his yet so he kept walking, making his way to the waiting area. All the while he made sure he paid attention to the Riolu sitting on his shoulder. He'd give him a signal if he spotted his trainer right?
"Ri- Riolu!" Steel shouted, directly into Grey's ear. He'd moved to stand on the boy's shoulders, bracing his arm's into Grey's hair as looked around for Hearth. Well, as fortune would have it, the trainer in question just so happened to be on his way back to the cafeteria when Riolu picked him out. Funniest thing, he walked right by Grey (and Steel, by extension) without noticing the two- something that Steel simply wouldn't stand for. So, without further ado, he spun around, thankfully releasing Grey's hair from his paws as he did so, and launched himself- through the air- right into his trainer's back.
The loud "Riolu!" that sounded out behind him tipped Hearth off... but he still wasn't fast enough to avoid collision. And within moments, the Riolu had barreled into him, catching hold of his hair and dragging him to the ground to break it's fall. There was a loud commotion, and in the end Hearth found himself laying in a heap on the ground with a fuzzy paw poking the side of his head. "Steel!" he shouted, then reached out, catching hold of the startled pokemon before lifting him up high and laughing. It wasn't how he'd expected to find his friend, but... it was better than the time the little Riolu had managed to get stuck in a public trash can, so he couldn't really complain. "Hehe... good to see you too buddy!" he said, pulling himself up to his feet despite the creature clinging to his neck in a sort of choking hug. "Oh man, I was half expecting you to be in trouble or something... So what've you been up to, Steel? Anything interesting?" "Ri, ri- Olu!" Steel shouted, happily responding to the question as he leaned out to point at Grey.

IC: To Grey's suprise, the Riolu jumped from his shoulder right at a trainer he just passed by. It grabbed ahold of the trainer's hair and dragged him to the ground, causing a bit of a commotion. "That Riolu..." he mummbled, ready to help the trainer before he heard "Steel!" from the other trainer, who proceeded to hold the Riolu up. "Well, I suppose, everything worked out," thought Grey as he continued his merry way. By the time Riolu had tried to pointed him out, Grey was gone. By then the monitors on the screen had gotten around to posting Grey's pairings. Sneasle was the selected pokemon against the trainer Hearth. "Stadium 4 huh?" Grey said outloud as to give himself a mental note. And with that, he was off to stadium 4 for business.
