She would miss ...her claws would catch nothing but air, and she almost screech her anger as she saw her opponent manage the snatch as she had to turn back over and try again. Her wings flapping like mad as she went from below this time to grab at the egg ...she had lost, and she knew it.
There was no way to catch up now, but she wasn't upset ....she had flown almost perfectly. Only one mistake ...she hoped as she went to grab the egg again. Success this time as she would head for the finish line.

Here they would come downward, one after the other, both Skarmory seemed neck and neck now as Suzaku had proved the difference between their speed was nothing compared to her talents.
Nanako's Skarmory certainly showed technique and promise... whilst Ironclaw had thrown stubbornly and fought against all the currents... Jasmine had to wonder if something about that reflected something on the two of them at all...
But when a set of talons hit the ground, it was Ironclaw who stood there, standing one legged as the other leg offered the egg back to Jasmine with a grin on her beak. [This yours, kiddo?]
"Ironclaw. Thank you!" And Jasmine grinned, hugging arms around the Skarmory's neck, as Suzaku would touch down too, with Burnout and PKE floating down afterward...
"Guess Nanako will be wanting to take the two out of three challenges?" She asked, looking to Eclipse again as the intermediary.
Nakano would see as Suzaku came wing in the strain on her body ...she had done everything possible to make up the differences in their speed and it still wasn't enough. She went to hang her head at her failure as the girl caught her underneath her neck and close to her chest in a hug.
"You are fantastic. I didn't realize how much faster that other bird was, but you proved that you are the master of the skies. If it wasn't for that last grab ....she wouldn't have managed to win."
Nakano declares as Suzaku places the egg on the ground in surprise as she put her other foot down.
(I failed?)
This time Nakano would release her and look her in the eyes. She would grip her beak in her hands to make sure that Suzaku couldn't look away in shame of her gaze.
"Like hell you did! You were the better flyer out there, and showed just how awkward that metal chicken is in the sky. If you were one level higher ..she wouldn't have won at all, so, you have nothing to feel bad about. You was the better flyer all the way around ...and if this contest of speed hadn't just been a test of speed ....that feather duster wouldn't have been declared the winner."
"You prove you were stronger and better in the air than her. She can crow about winning the race, but it's a hollow victory at best. Kind of like saying she was able to crash to the ground faster than you can fly there."
Suzaku seemed stun at this comparison as Eclipse would smile. It was true afterall, all but 2 rings have been a failure for the bird and she had managed to miss the grab ...once beside that. She won by the skin of her teeth against ...Suzaku perfect flying ..even though she was the faster flyer.
She would cough to get her thoughts straight.
(Would you be willing to call that your victory song?)
Eclipse gave the question back to Jasmine.
(I hope not, and so, Nakano has come up with a second event. This one ...I believe will only allow fire types)
Carrot's ears would come up at that comment as he trots over. It was going to be his turn this time and he smirked at the thought of it. He had a chance to look cool for the ladies, like hell he was going to miss his chance at that.
"The game is simple ...the biggest bonfire win."
Nakano would step in to say it then. Her eyes would lock with Jasmine as she smiled, and then put the egg down in front of herself. It was from the last event, and she was simply return it ...though there was no way she was going to hand it over to the cripple.
"We are going to try and see who's flame is hottest trying to make flames last on top of well....clouds."
She would point over to area nearest to the shelves, but not quite there. It was a spot where the land ...was more clouds like what you would see in a dream instead of the normal earth they would trot upon.
"I didn't miss your slight earlier against Carrot, and I am sure he wouldn't mind making you understand how wrong you are."
The pokemon in question would smile at that one ....as he flicks tails.
"Choose your pokemon, and when you are ready we will start."
Eclipse would declare.
(40/50)
Bonfire game:
Starting with the pokemon's attack stats as the base ...since the pokemon will have to clear away the wet top of the cloud to start their fire. The deeper into the cloud they dig the better their flames can burn. Every dice roll from there will add to their flames for 5 turns.
A roll of a 5,10, 15, or 20 will double their flames. So the total amount of the flame is double
A roll of 4, 8, 12, 16 will cut it by 1/4, and a roll of a 1 will put out the flame altogether.
Jasmine would simply nod to Eclipse, that last match was far too close to call, they had just managed to scrape a win... but she wouldn't take that away from Ironclaw. Instead, as she'd pat the Skarmory's hide, the bird plucking the egg up to hand it to her...
"We're ready and willing!" She nodded, as she looked to the floating Lampent in mid-air, "Burnout? I think that's your signal!"
[Hmmph. I thought I would be on the back burner this entire adventure...] The former Arcanine floated forward. His beady eyes drew themselves on the Vulpix.
He had to wonder... he could float, the Vulpix couldn't. What would happen if it burrowed all the way THROUGH? Well... he wouldn't bring the point up here... as he ignited the flame inside his housing, his fire was ready... now they just needed the pit to do it with!
Ready and willing, Burnout flew forward at the cloud, before twirling into a spin, using the metal lid atop his head, he was going to turn his body into a drill point, burrowing quite literally into the mass of nimbus material!
He was going to go and keep going, as the metal house unlocked from below his body, and the flame blasted up behind him, bellowing out a twirling inferno as he continued to open up the pit to let his flame grow!
((Whoopsy, forgot to make FIVE rolls, lol, one down, four more here XD))

Silence would briefly fall over the area surrounding Raven, the young lad's jaw falling slack as he starred at the Rotom. Emotion and shock denied him enough power to think of an appropriate response. Thus the reply would come from the peanut gallery...or rather the cactus patch!
">He's a boy. Pretty boy...pretty stupid that is!<" The Cacnea which had recently arrived at his feet would state before bursting into a rather cruel laugh ">Nyahahaha! Hello hime-san!<" She snickered, smacking the back of the child's leg with one of her spike strewn arms.
Luckily for Raven the pain of that action would snap him out of his stupor, his eyes swapping from befuddled to a cold glare "I am male" He stated rather curtly to PKE before turning his attention to the Cacnea "...and that will be quite enough Rozalinda."
">Rozalinda!? What sort of pansy @$$ name is Rozalinda?<" The Cacnea proclaimed, making sure to accentuate her own name with a snooty and clearly mocking tone. While most Pokemon quietly accepted their new names, there was no way the Cacnea was backing down from this fight! ">Listen here $#!^ fer brains! There ain't no way I'm gonna answer ta--HURGH!!!?<"
The rest of that sentence would never reach the air as a black booted foot connected with Rozalinda's face, launching the Cacnea like a soccer ball into the air. She'd fly a good fifteen feet before crashing back into the ground, bouncing once, and colliding with her now comrade Valvatorez.
">Hey watch where yer going ya damn brat!<" The Grass-Type barked, grabbing the Gligar by the throat and lifting him up like she was about to punch him.
The purple Pokemon would fail to even flinch however, looking down at his aggressor with dim eyes before uttering in a hollow voice ">Pain is the only truth....pain and despair.<"
">Tch...<" Rozalinda clucked her tongue, tossing the Gligar roughly aside ">Yer no fun!<" She spat before stomping off. Pansy @$$ wimps. The lot of em.
Elsewhere on a more hectic part of the small island, Genn would take the time to glance back at his path of destruction. Sadly it appeared the self proclaimed hero, the Dark Avenger, was in fact not giving chase. Well that hardly made this any fun. Making a snap, and not necessarily wise decision, Genn would speed forward, literally throwing himself off the side of the island just to see what would happen. As clouds kissed his cheeks, and wind rushed passed his ear holes, the plummeting Steelix could only shout ">YAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!<"
Of course as some had already learned, the natural laws didn't play a particularly large part in this place. Rather then falling towards his certain doom, the Steel-Type would abruptly find himself above the island rather then below it. Moments later, and with a thunderous crash, the massive Steelix would crash into the equally massive Tree of Dreams, the snap of branches and grinding of steel heralding his continued descent. It would be near the bottom most branches that Genn would finally halt, a tangled mess with twigs and leaves sticking out of every crevice. Understandably Bellona and Gillies had slipped from their position upon Genn's head during the fall, but the Steelix had managed to rather handily catch both of them, the Chikorita with the end of his tail, and the Omanyte upon his moist tongue.
Speaking despite the wriggling mass of tentacles and shell in front of his mouth, the Steelix would announce ">Thab wash sups a WUSH!!<" (That was such a RUSH!)
Meanwhile Diabound was leaning against one of the tree's massive roots, looking rather tired even for him. His eyes narrowed as he at last picked his golden mask of the ground and began staring at it. How had it all come to this? Where had all his talents gone? Was it this form? Time and time again he'd tried to get his hands on that girl's treasures, and every single time he had missed! Someone whisked her away, or she tripped, spun, or danced off on her own! Was this the long awaited punishment for his crimes? The inability to ever again commit the crime he loved most!?
Surprisingly enough, at this time Fable had actually wandered off from Raven's side, instead drawing ever closer to the grouping of Vanni, Momo, and their assorted Pokemon. They key source of the naturally quiet Pokemon's attention at this time was of course the newest Fire-Type in the area, though politeness demanded he at least he greet everyone else present.
Without entirely closing the distance between them, Fable would lift up a single charred claw, delivering a gentle wave to those gathered as he softly spoke the word ">Hello<"
">As previously stated I am Siegfried, Sir Solo<" The little Eevee stated politely, showing that he at least was not an entirely submissive sort. Merely well mannered. Adjusting his glasses with his tail the Eevee would then deliver a small bow ">A pleasure to make your acquaintance<" Whether he'd said these things prior or not was irrelevant. One because he couldn't remember, and two because he didn't think this particularly rough Eevee had been listening.
After the selections were made the chosen Pokemon would fall from the tree. One with a cheery cry, and the other with a startled gasp.
It's tiny legs taking it toward Vanni, the Trapinch would grin quite broadly in a fearsome display of teeth. Mirth in her eyes, this was when the Pokemon would begin to sing! ">Play with me or I'll chomp off your legs! Play with me or I'll chomp off your arms! Play with me or I'll chomp off your head! Play with me! Play with me! Play with me~~!!<"
In response to this singing the Magikarp, which had flopped at Momo's feet, would begin flailing wildly, doing it's utmost to splash around in the opposite direction of the Trapinch. If a Magikarp could run away...this was it.
PKE would bob and hover, never settling in one spot in the mid-air, Jasmine and the other girl certainly didn't need him about any more... and seeing Raven's obvious reaction certainly bemused the Rotom so.
Giggle away PKE would, bobbing in the mid-air back over Raven's head, like a moon orbiting his head. [Its' funny, isn't it?]
[Are male humans rarer than female Eevee? Because there's certanly a lot of girls in here and you're the only one who says they're not a girl!!] PKE proudly dictated in logic.
Watching the children play, trade, and complete, Cresslia would wear the warm smile of a mother. Truly children, be they human or Pokemon, were things to be treasured. So much potential, and so much joy. First, turning away from her 'heroes', the Dream Queen would turn her eyes upon Oberon. ">Your time as well as your pain is over now. Sleep now, and find peace in the eternal dream<" She spoke softly, as if to a napping infant, even going so far as to lay a kiss upon the heavily bandaged Zoroark's brow. An instant later and the bandages would fall against the grass, their contents vanishing as bright blue wisps rose into the air.
Nodding gently, Cresselia would then turn back to the young students of whom she had called here ">Gather round children, so that you may receive my blessing<" She announced sweetly, smiling as she did ">Close your eyes. Focus your minds, and receive the dreams gift. A Pass Power<" Pausing for a time to make certain she had the children's attention, she would then gesture to the great tree ">Once you have chosen you may return to the waking world.<" Spurred by her words the bark of the great tree would suddenly crack, swinging open like a set of doors to reveal a brightly glowing and heavily misted doorway. ">Time passes differently in the dream, so you should return to the exact instant you left...give or take a few seconds.<"

[IMPORTANT]
All Pokemon obtained in the Dream will be sent to a Student's land regardless of how many Pokemon they have with them. Due to the fact that I am not entirely cruel...as well as not wanting to be blamed for people's Pokemon running away/dying here is the deal. For those of you which do not have the means to sustain a Pokemon on your land, and do not believe your mission will end before they would faint/die/runaway you may choose to leave your Dream Pokemon "wild" on your land until your return. This means they will remain "wild" thus wandering off to fend for themselves.
HOWEVER. Pokemon kept in this manner will not receive benefits from your land. This means they will not gain any EXP. Secondly as they are still "wild" it is possible for another trainer to break into your land and capture them.
Carrot would take a deep breathe as he would let it out in a single whoosh of air .....as the pokemon would jump to his position. His paws would start to churn up cloud as he tries to get rid of the fluffy soft area and managed to get to the flamable parts.
Are clouds even flamable?
Carrot didn't worry about that part as he took a deep breathe and released it. One, two, three, four, and five.
Hopefully he had done well enough to show that low flame who is boss.
(Siggy huh? I won' why ya trainer name ya somethin' like Siggy. Sounds a bit weak, but oh well.)
Solo would smirk a bit. He could see he wasn't totally a push over, what a shame. He thought about making the pokemon eat mud later, but for now ...he would flick his tail from one side to another.
(It's good to see I'm not the only Eevee around here.)
He would swish his tail from one side to another as he started for his trainer. He would stop for a second as he thought about who ...Siggy's trainer is. He would snort only once as he cleared his throat and then spoke as properly as possible for once..
(Don't get yourself killed ...your trainer quite the rocker, and I would love to have a battle with you one time. Siggy)
He snickers a bit as he rushes towards Victoria who was more than ready to go at this point. She would gather up her group as she returned everyone but three ...surprisingly enough this time ...Solo was one of them. She would scoop him up as she held out a arm for both Sentinel and Eve respectively. The eevee would climb to his place on her shoulder as she would take out two pokeballs and tap them both.
Claiming them both as her pokemon as she didn't worry about the situation that the two would be in. One would be accompanying her ...Eve, and the other would return to protect her land.
Sentinel.
"Humph, it seems our family keeps right on growing doesn't it."
She declares as Solo made a face at the two flying types as one declares protectively "Mom" while the other rolled her eyes at them both.
It seemed like it was time to move on... Jasmine watched on as it seemed there, Burnout was the winner, the flaming pyre signalling the win in this challenge... as the Lampent would float alongside Jasmine now, the pair turning toward Cresselia as she called all attention here.
It was time alright.
Jasmine would look toward Nanako and Carrot and all the other pokémon there. Well... she'd won... but for what? Bragging rights? To get them to leave them alone? It seemed so juvenile now, so worthless... she wasn't sure if celebrating was right or not here... and she had no doubt that Nanako would likely be even more ticked later if she wasn't already... but...
"Thank you, Burnout," She said first to the Lampent, hand on dome as a smattering of congratulations came from round about, as Jasmine would prepare balls... first calling back PKE from somewhere over Raven's head.
Nightingale... who stared solemnly at the vacant bandages discarded at the trees base.
Ironclaw, who simply nodded, one last glance at Suzaku before she vanished into red particles, and Koi also, the bashful fish still hiding as Jasmine would look to Nanako.
"Your pokémon performed really well," she said, choosing the best words she could here, trying NOT to escalate this in the parting seconds, "I'll look forward if we can resolve problems like this in future just as easily."
And to the Absol... she offered a smile, "Thanks for helping us resolve it." A mental note to keep in mind the go-to between her and Nanako now, "But I'm sad to say I can't wait around for a third round."
"Maybe next time."
With that she took her crutch and made her way forward... to the tree itself... standing there below the legendary creature... So many powers... so many lights and shining abilities... the potential seemed immense, the possibilities so vast and wonderful....
Of course, which would she choose but... Friendship. As she smiled... and then stopped... pondering.
[Jasmine?] Burnout waited patiently, watching the girl's hand hover, her expression poignant. [Is everything alright?]
The girl thought... and nodded, "Yes, well..."
She looked up to the Cresselia and the waiting doorway, clearing a lump in her throat first. "Excuse me... your Majesty? Before we leave... can I ask instead one small token?"
"I hope you don't think it impertinent, but, could I request a single one of your feather's to give to someone important to me?"
"I've caused her a lot of troubles... and it's said in legend that a Lunar Wing can ease one's mind and wade off dark thoughts and nightmares... I think she would really appreciate it."
Carrot watches as he saw that his flames weren't as hot or as big, and the fire fox would actually lower his ears and growl at his defeat. But, he couldn't say anything ...he had lost ...at his own game no less, so there was nothing to argue about ...it was over.
He would flick his tails along the clouds as he went about smothering his flames so as not to leave a mess behind. His opponent was already gone before he got to say anything to him, and it was probably for the best as he saw the anger look on Suzaku's face. That Skarmory had left her with an arrogant look on her face, and she couldn't even caw for her blood because she had lost ...no matter how she looked at it.
Nakano was expecting a bit more gloating, but as the girl seem to take the upper path she would only growl underneath her breath take a deep breathe and them reply back to her.
"You won 2 out of 3, why would we have a third round? So, as the victor ...."
She didn't get any further than that ...as it seemed it took her too long to answer as the girl went off to take care of something else. She would have been really pissed at that situation if she could have said something else, but instead ...Nakano decided it was best to simply walk way.
Though she stopped as she turns around and shouts.
"Shinobi believe in losing and winning as the end all to things. YOu won...no hard feelings, because, yesterday's enemy can be tomorrow's client."
In other words, the animousity between the two were over as far as Nakano was concern ...until next time....as Suzaku's feathers would bristle.
(I won't be friendly to her ..no matter who wins)
Carrot would smile as he bounces towards his own group of lovelies cooing along the way.
(I don't mind being friends)
Eclipse would only nod at Jasmine's words to her. She was only doing her job to avert disasters, but, she would take the compliment and move towards her trainer as Nakano drops next to her. It was getting time to go ...as she would pull her premier ball from her selection of kunai as she turned it back. Then she would tap the pokemon on the head.
"Things will be hard back on the lands, but you will help ...Chihime. She is a drillbur, so take good care of her."
Nakano would tell her as she disappear in a flash of red. She would have loved to add her to the group, but another time ...maybe, once she finish her mission.

The petite trainer watched as her newest acquisition lumbered playful towards her, crowing her demands. Well, this was different. Politely, the girl offered out her cane to the Trapinch...
... who took little time in digging into her teeth into the proffered item. Her eyes lit up as she tasted it, happily munching away as she hummed her little ditty. Despite her rough play, the cane remained unmarked-- which was a bit disappointing, in her eyes. She wanted to chomp things! What was the point of chomping things when the won't be chomped? Although there was something to be said for a chompable that would not break upon first chomp...
Vanni watched the Trapinch with a hint of a smile. Another oddity, no doubt. Another trainer might have despaired at receiving yet another quirky being, but personally, she preferred it. Strangeness sought strangeness, perhaps. "Does 'Mandy' work for you, dear?" she queried, engaging in a light tug-of-war with the Trapinch.
The newly-dubbed Mandy nodded, refusing to let go of the cane.
Satisfied with the state of affairs, Vanni rose, Makoto snapping to attention at her side. Still tugging Mandy along with her cane as a makeshift leash, she approached the Queen of Dreams, who seemed to be attracted something of a crowd.
Meanwhile, back in a land that was even crazier than Vanni's brain, her Pokemon found themselves screaming as Genn suddenly leapt off the island-- Gilles with excitement, Bellona with horror (and a little excitement). Much to everyone's surprise, they didn't die.
"That was magical," cooed Gilles, from his prime position on Genn's tongue. He appeared to be clinging rather strongly to the muscle, though whether it was out of shock or his own natural perversions, no one could be entirely sure.
"D-dark Avenger my leafy butt," hissed the Chikorita, who was still shivering from the adrenaline rush. "She did squat."
Vanni glanced over at the newly-minted trio, shaking her head with amusement. Cheerfully, she called out across the island, "Raven, dear, can you ask you gigantic steely friend to relinquish my begonias? They can wreck havoc, skydive, and take over the world another day, I promise"
"Begonia?" Bellona muttered, still half-dazed from the fall.
While she waited for those three to say their goodbyes and separate, Vanni pondered what Cresselia had said. A Pass Power... and all she needed to do was shut her eyes? The tiny brunette gave a focused frown, and close her eyes. With everything that had occurred, it was surprising she felt so calm. Then again, new life had a tendency to drive out bad memories. With Mandy tugging on one hand, and Makoto resting against her leg, she focused. A power that would help decrease her chance of running into wild pokemon seemed potentially useful-- in case she needed to make a quick getaway in the event her Pokemon were too injured to fight.

Victoria would put away one pokeball as she looks over towards the guardian of this realm. She would stroke ....the Murkrow only once as she step towards her destination ...., and Solo would climb a bit higher as Eve would puff out her feathers a bit, and Sentinel would make one croak of indigination. He would protect their lands, and she would go on adventures ...it didn't exactly sound fair, but life isn't always anyway.
She would walk towards the pokemon and make her choice as she touches one.
"Money or Friendship, hard to decide considering the pokemon I have. Most of my pokemon don't evolve due to friendship, but .....a increase in prize money could be useful for buying things. Except, how often do I come across a place to ....."
Victoria made her decision as her fingers brush against the Prize Money Power. She could find much more use for that ...than anything else at this moment as she would look back at the two birds on her shoulders.
ONe was a egg, the other a dream ...it was going to be interesting to see if they managed somehow to bare children.
