Before Vajra was able to get ready for his journey, there was a knock on his door. Standing there was Zill, holding Caska, who was wincing at some hidden pain. "Vajra...I'm sorry for forcing you to battle. I felt like I hurt your Celsinge, since I found out that we probably were too hard on our Pokemon. I mean, look at Caska!" he said, lifting the dolphin Pokemon up to reveal a small gash that was bandaged up. "My parents were out of Potions, and I haven't been able to make myself leave from all my guilt. So...is Nitro alright?"

Vajra nodded. "Don't be so hard on yourself, man; Nitro's fine!"

"Oh, good! I was worried that he wouldn't be! Hey, but listen...I wanna call our battle a draw. I mean, I won and all...but I don't feel happy about it. Are you alright with that?"

"Absolutely! I mean, I was a little sore at losing, but I'll win next time, for sure!"

"Good! You keep your end of that bargain, then!" Zill nodded. "Well, I'm gonna head home, I guess. See ya, Vaj!" With that, Zill left.

Vajra decided it was time to get going, too, so he recalled Nitro into his Poke-Ball and headed off to the first Route.

OoC: I assume I have to buy the stuff from the Marketplace in my topic? If so, I'll buy five Poke-Balls for 1000P.
