Hey everybody! It's time for the Weekly Update With Yang Xiao Long, the best hostess EVER!

[Yes, it's that time again. Yang appears on the screen, jumping into the video feed and throwing her arms out wide. Her Misdreavus and Eevee are snooping behind her, curiously, but staying out of the production otherwise. Yang grins, then raises one finger, leaning towards the broadcast.]

I promised last time to give you a life saving tip about not slipping and falling to your death on icy walking bridges! So, get ready...

[Yang grins.]

...use the handrails!

[She nods.]

A-a-a-a-anyways, so like, this week Union's had some honored guests named Team Evolution. We're gonna call them TeVo for short. TeVo's been really nice, except for the whole misunderstanding with machines that kind of made earthquakes that kiiiind of could kill us all. And there's a tournament going on, to show them what we can do and make amends!

While the Council talks about giving them earthquake-causing machines back. Yeah.

[She shrugs.]

The tournament's going! Yours truly was knocked out, but our show endorses Feliks SHUT UP MILLER, I KNOW HE HAS A LAST NAME! [the last is addressed at her Eevee, who sighs] because he beat me and I'm not gonna be shamed by losing to someone who doesn't win! So go get them, Feliks! Show these guys who's boss!

Next week we have a special guest star so special that I don't know who it is yet!

[Closed to Fai.]

Deciding to buy their own apartment had been a good choice even though they had their own floor in the Flourite residence, this place offered a lot more privacy and gave them both the opportunity to relax without having to worry about their patents or the inconvenience that came with staying in hotel rooms. It also gave Yuui the opportunity to cook his own food, the ingredients for which he'd just been out shopping for.

"Hello. I'm back!"

A few pokémon came running towards him as he entered the door, all of them bonded to him, and he neither saw or heard any sign of Fai or any of the pokémon bonded to him which was unusual. Even if Fai had decided to go out it was still odd for all of his pokémon to join him. Oh well, his own overprotective feelings aside Fai was a big boy and could handle himself, and bending down to properly greet everyone he made the decision to try and not worry too much about it. Putting away the groceries, and fixing himself a nice cup of tea, he settles down into the couch to read a book, his baby togepi settled securely in his lap.

[Friday - Mausoleum]
[The trek through the caves and the mine had been a mostly silent one, save for the sightings of wild Pokémon. After her accidental post to the network last week, Eucliwood had tried to fall back away from the city. She'd never ventured into the Old City back when she'd lived in Union, and so the ruins of the old city she'd stumbled across were quite new to her. Once there, she'd followed her Duskull companion and ended up in the mausoleum.

That's where she spent the day. Eu didn't disturb anything, although she wandered around, reading what she could. Maybe she'd find something about her original family, although she doubted it. Any kind of clues as to who she really was or to control her powers would have been greatly welcomed. While that didn't happen, she did find something else. A new companion. A Misdreavus. Unlike Yoruno's mischievous nature, this one was...better, although she seemed to hold herself with an air of superiority. No one was perfect, though.

For the remainder of the day, Eucliwood can be found wandering around the Mausoleum and parts of the Old City nearby. She won't flee if someone approaches, but she'll make no move to initiate contact, either.]



[Saturday Evening - Union City]
[After her relatively uneventful exploration of the Old City and Mausoleum, Eucliwood went to make her way back the way she came. Unfortunately for her, she didn't quite remember which direction the caves had been, and she ended up lost.

Wandering aimlessly, she found some semblance of a path. She didn't know where it led, but when she stopped, she realized she was in the one place she didn't want to be. Union City. She didn't panic, although she was frightened. There were so many people here. People she might accidentally hurt.

Dressed as she was, she'd draw attention to herself if she traveled during the day. So she did her best to find an out of the way spot to sit down and keep to herself until evening, where she felt more comfortable traveling. Provided the city hadn't changed much in her absence, finding her way back out wouldn't be an issue.

Feel free to spot her sitting up against a wall somewhere, or walking through the city once it starts getting dark. During the day, her Pokémon won't be following her, but at night, they will be.]

"...and Musashi here is probably the rarest guy I've Bonded. At least, I've never seen another Scyther around," Rise explained as she walked along the mountain path with her two(-ish) traveling companions. Her Scyther bowed in acknowledgment of the description as she relayed it to Jeff.

"He's a Bug and Flying type, but he's a lot stronger than either of those usually are - probably because he practices with those scythes so much," she continued. "You're getting all this, right Jeff?"

She had volunteered to help him with a project of cataloging Pokémon in exchange for making a gift for Toyo, after all.

"So anyw--whoa there, Musashi," she said, putting a hand gently on his shoulder as he moved to position himself between her and a wandering Geodude. "I told you about Rock-types. Don't go picking a fight with them, okay?"

((Any posting order really. We're wandering around to look at rocks here.))

"Ah."

With the second round of the tournament coming to an end, the three winners had been determined: Feliks, Levi, and Reimu. The crowd turns expectantly towards Team Evolution to where Rory now stands alone, having been informed that his companions had needed to take a step away. The man pauses before he steps forward to speak.

"...Dr. Verdine and Sakina have been... called away. A minor emergency. ...And I fear my remaining compatriots are not much for battling."

He looks embarrassed.

"We will have to forgo the Team Evolution exhibition - but please, it would be an honor for me to face your trainers. It was we who requested this demonstration. I would not have you waste your time."

He gives a slight bow and walks up to the field, rolling his sleeves up to his elbows and retrieving several small, round objects from his pockets.

"I am ready. Come, let us see the strength of Union's Bonds against that of our team's."

((This will be the final tournament post. It will be three separate battles against each of the winners. To properly end this event, we will need at least one thread to progress a significant amount, so please do your best to respond!))
