*No worries darling!* Panacea reassures Axel. *The festival has only just begun, now get on up there and make a friend!* she urged him to go onto the stage where the other two kids stood.

After nodding a thank you, Axel hopped up onto the stage. He walked over to the Rowlet and stooped down. "Well, it looks like it's you and me from now on." He said, extending an arm.

Rowlet gazed at Axel for a moment, before letting out a content coo and flitting up and onto his outstretched arm.

The happy and cheerful mood of the festival quickly took a turn for the worse as two people in black tanktopa and white hats approached the stage.

*Hey! We want some free rare Pokmon too!* the team skill girl with with hair demanded

*Yeah! Now hand em over* The boy with blue hair demanded.
The two then started forward, climbing onto the stage as the remaining Pokmon scrambled away.

Cole walked in the way, sighing. *sup, Skull. Theres no Pokmon for you. Now do us a favor and go away.* then, surprising everyone, he socked them in the face. They both fell, surprised. Then he proceeded to pick them up in a shocking feat of strength, and threw them off the stage onto the dirt. *now shoo.*

He then walked off the stage and grabbed Sereias bag, picking it up like it was rolling away while grabbing Nebby with it and zipping at up. He walked back and held it out, passing it to Sereia. *here,* he said, before leaning in and whispering, *we should talk. About whats in that bag. I just want to help.* then he backed up and smiled kindly at her, before frowning at team Skull.


(Did u expect him to punch them?)

Axel raised a brow. "Dang."
"Kroo." Rowlet agreed.

Cole gestured to his face. *most get the message when they see my face. They shouldnt threaten me or others, or fight me. Some, like Skull, need a bit more... convincing.* then he kicked the Team Skull peeps where the sun dont shine.

Litten purred.


(Noice)

Axel bit his lip. "That's uh..." He glanced at the Team Skull grunts. "Like, you're liable for that now." He gestured a hand at them.

Cole shrugged. *meh.*

(Nebby is already out of sight of the bag, please dont control my Pokmon for me

Also, youre being insanely overpowered by beating up both the team skull grunts like that, please stop)


*P-Please dont touch my stuff* was all Rei managed to stutter out. she was grateful to have the bag, but worried about how Nebby disappeared like that. *My name is Rei... uh, Ill be right back* she squeaked, giving a wave to the Kahuna before hopping off the stage and farting in the opposite direction of the stage, towards the ruins of conflict.

The team skull grunts got back up easily. The guy seemed ready to back down, but the girl was standing with new anger.

*Now what the heck was that for punk? You think youre cool just because of unprovoked violence? We aint done nothin wrong! Youre lucky we dont call the boss, or worse, the cops!* she shouted.

*Calm down everyone!* Panacea shouted over the ruckus, trying to gain control of the situation. *Team skull, you are a band of hooligans, and even though youve done nothing wrong, youve been blatantly disrespectful. And for you* the Kahuna turned to Cole, annoyed with everyone involved with the incident. *I dont want to see anymore of that level of assault on other festival attendees* She said in a hushed tone.

*M-miss kahuna! Um, can my cousin still get a Pokmon! Hes only twelve, but thats old enough, right? We were going to come last year, but we could get to melemele until this year!* the girl, who seemed about seventeen interrupted, the younger boy cowering behind his older cousin now.

*I suppose I have to now, but he must be respectful towards the Pokmon, the Pokmon must choose you as well as you choose the pokemon* she directed her stern voice towards the two. *Meditite, go retrieve some ice* she sends out one of her Pokmon while she kept watch over the event


(Also dont leave me behind if I dont respond for a while guys,,, its finals week ;-;)

(1. sorry, i thought Nebby was next to it, not gone

2. this boi fights lots of pokemon, just sayin. not for fun, just cuz. ill tone it down tho.

3. ill do my best not to leave u behind.)

Cole nodded and looked down, guilt on his face. *sorry, Kahuna. i attack when pokemon get threatened or hurt. its instinct. living alone with no one but Pokemon does that. but how are they 'attendees? they just threatened to you and tried to steal these pokemon!* he gestured to everyones starters. *i just wanted to keep them from harm. is that wrong?* he stared down the Kahuna, fire in his eyes.

(this guy needs help controling his emotions)
