Xavier had heard of the Crystalline Caverns from within the Rebellion group, as they had planned to use it for movement at some point in time. However, the idea was scrapped due to danger; he had been told that there were many twists and turns in these caverns, it would be easy to lose yourself. It wasn't worth it. So what exactly was Xavier doing here, then?
Well, the man has acquired a number of new Poke'mon to look after, and he knew the best way to bond with them was good ol' fashioned training. The thought of it made Xav grin; he hadn't trained like this in quite a long time. It would be very nostalgic, if anything. Also any experience would push his Poke'mon further down the road to evolving, which was always good.
Rousing himself from his thoughts, Xavier stood from where he had been sitting, taking a break. The trek down here had been rather long, but that was alright. He was here now; it was time to get to business. Cracking his knuckles, Xavier sauntered further into the caverns, keeping a keen eye open.

Xavier looked them over, then paused to consider. "I'll snag the lovely lady." He decided.

Xavier couldn't tell if he was flattered or embarrassed that he received a prize for dressing like a woman. He shook his head at Felis with a bemused expression on his face, claiming his cash and tokens, pausing for a moment to consider the Poke'mon. "A Chikorita would be nice." He stated with a smile.

"Boreal Port." Xavier corrected with a smile, emphasizing the letters Arcadie mispronounced. "Sounds good to me." He added in response to her deal. Why would he say no and risk being trapped out in the middle of nowhere when he could find some Poke'mon and get outta there? Ghost Poke'mon too... ghosts, haha, how ludicrous...
Chuckling nervously, Xav cleared his throat and looked down at Buddy, whom was fixing Xavier with an amused stare, as if his nervousness about Ghost Poke'mon was silly. "Oh hush you." Xavier cooed to him, although he hadn't said anything. Reaching into one of his bags, Xavier withdrew a Poke'ball and let loose Ace, his Charmeleon. Buddy reached out to him and called a greeting, to which Ace replied with a grin and a bop on the Magby's noggin. He then looked to Xavier with a brow raised.
"Help us look for some Poke'mon, eh? I know you're good at finding things." Xavier stated, causing Ace to chuckle and nod. The lizard glanced around before spewing fire at a nearby snow-covered mound, melting it away. Xavier nodded at his progress before hopping back on his rock perch and scouting the area out.
They wouldn't find anything, he knew. Especially not ghosts. 'Ghosts! I mean really...'

Xavier inclined his head slightly, peering at Felis. He was watching for his facial expressions, but nothing... ah? A frown threatened his features, and although he covered it well, Xav could see through it. Being a reserved guy allowed Xav to people-watch without being disturbed, and as awkward as it sounded, it had become a hobby for him. As such, facial flutters and stutters didn't go unnoticed. Yet... instead of being smug about seeing Felis in such a state, Xav was surprised to find a frown pass over his own features. He felt as if Felis was a simple guy... he certainly seemed that way. Why he was a Noble, he hadn't a clue.
And this Andrew fellow... where did he align? Certainly didn't seem regal enough to be high class, but he wasn't a face Xav recognized amongst the rebels. Eh, the guy seemed like a free-lancer... and a whore. Don't forget that now, Xavier. Yet for a whore he seemed so... so... free-spirited. A tad annoying, but eh. Xavier knew he was just being bitchy again. Ah well.
With Andrew's poised question, he smirked. The man was learning self control, that was a start. He waited for Felis' answer, plucking a purple flower that suddenly sprouted from a tree they were passing, twirling it in his fingers gently.

Xavier merely hummed in response to Felis, brow furrowed in thought. Ten percent, seven percent, four... twenty-one percent altogether. That didn't seem too bad at first, but add in bills and living cost, and it was a nice little sum right there. Especially for folks that weren't so well off... Xavier shook his head. Now wasn't the time to think about that. He wasn't sure what he was gaining by inquiring the Duke about how much he charged his people, but perhaps the information could come in handy if they needed more forces for another rebellion... if that ever happened. Unlikely, but in this world, you never know.
When Andrew made his comment, Xavier huffed, but he supposed the man was right. Felis seemed gentle enough, which was odd for a Duke in his eyes. Was he new to it? Maybe. Perhaps just naive of the lower class... that seemed to happen a lot it seemed. "I don't blame him then. I bet it sucks." He mused, gently elbowing Felis with a wink. "Sneak out often, eh?"

A somewhat crestfallen look took over Xavier's face when Arcadie revealed she didn't know where Boreal Port was, only to be replaced by slightly widened eyes when she mentioned Ghost-type Poke'mon. Xavier hadn't seen a Ghost-type before, he just heard about them in spooky stories his mother told him as a child. They weren't very nice stories either. The thought of them made his skin crawl.
He took a wary glance around, double checking to see if anything was behind him. Now his guard was up. Wonderful. "Not that I've seen, no..." He said quietly, as if they could possibly hear him. Ghosts! Not Xav's favorite thing in the worlds. Surely they didn't exist...

As distasteful as he felt about the Nobles in general, Xavier couldn't pass up an opportunity to create art with his Poke'mon; and possibly win prizes to boot! He may not like Nobles but they certainly knew how to grab someone's attention, Xav would give them that. As he waited for his turn on stage, he fiddled with Z's Poke''ball, grinning down at it. "You may be goofy, but you know a large variety of moves... it will be beautiful." He mumbled to the ball, perking when his name was called. Smiling, he briskly walked onto the stage, bowing at the audience before releasing Z. "Meet Z everybody~" He chimed.
Z burst forth from his ball with his legs spinning rapidly, his pupils in the shape of half circles. He noticed all of the people assembled and instantly became curious, floating by the nearest row of the audience, his pupils having turned into question marks. Xavier laughed at Z's antics before calling out an order. "You'd think he'd never seen people before, eh?" He joked. "Alright Z, Double Team!" Z's pupils shifted into exclamation points as he performed double team, so that there were six Porygons present; five copies and himself. They formed an even circle around Xavier.
Xavier nodded, gesturing to his right. "You three use Sunny Day!" He said, then gestured to his left. "And you three make it rain with Rain Dance!" All six of the Porygon's pupils shifted back into their happy half-circles as their legs spun once more. The sunny day made the Sun shine very bright, while the rain dance caused a small shower to occur on-stage. The raindrops acted as prisms for the bright light, causing a rainbow to arc over Xavier's head.
But he wasn't done. Xavier pointed at one of Z's copies. "Use Ice Beam to freeze the rain solid." He commanded, before pointing to another copy (or the real deal, it was hard to tell). "And you use Magnet Rise on it." The first Porygon shot a beam of ice directly up into the rain, causing it to solidify into a ball of ice, its weight so heavy that it began to descend from the air towards Xavier's head. The second Porygon circled the ice ball as it fell, electricity bouncing back and forth between him and the ice, until the air around the ice ball became charged enough for it to begin floating by itself in a Magnet Rise.
As the ball of ice floated and rotated under the shining light caused by Sunny Day, the rainbow reflected off of it, causing it to refract in every direction; almost like a disco ball! All six Porygons broke into dance under it, rotating their bodies and turning from transparency to normal coloration and back. Xavier laughed and bowed to the crowd. "Thank you everyone~" He sung before exiting the stage with Z, having reverted back to one Porygon. He rubbed the Porygon's head affectionately. "Good job Z~"
Yeah he was soaked. But that was alright.

Xavier sighed, adjusting the clasp on the back of his neck once more as he listened to be called onto the stage. Oh, the things he did for Pen. Sure he may come from a poor family, but never in a million years did the man expect to be dressing up like a woman to obtain it. He stared at himself in a nearby mirror, hearing his conscious laugh at him, but he chose to ignore it, instead reflecting back on what his father would say, 'No pain, no gain'. Wearing this get-up wasn't painful physically (although the heels were troublesome), but mentally scarring.
"We now have Xavier Stone entering, a young man at the age of twenty, hes rather nomadic and earns his Pen through fishing. A truly relaxed lifestyle!" The announcer chimed, causing Xavier to sigh and stand, gesturing for his shiny Ekans, Lady. The snake looked up at him with a look of 'finally' in her eyes, falling in slither beside the man. Before they embarked onto the stage, Lady opened her maw and let a haze loose from her mouth, the puffy black smoke rolling across the stage floor. Xavier smiled down at Lady before they went forth, heads held high.
Xavier had decided against anything too regal, thinking it was rather cliche' and far too Noble-esque for his liking. The dress he had on was a light shade of green to match Lady's unique coloration. It was a long, slim, silk tiered dress that fit snugly to the man's thin frame. The dress was sleeveless, the straps coming together in a bow tied at the back of Xavier's neck. The portion of the dress from Xav's chest to his mid-section were smooth, and a golden sash wrapped around his waist just above where the tiers began. The tiers continued for the rest of the dress's length until its hem, which hovered less than an inch from the floor. The back of the dress was open, exposing the man's entire back until his waist.
Xav also wore a few accessories to continue his shiny Ekans visage, including a golden necklace that had a few layers to it, making it look like the band around Lady's neck. Three gold loop bracelets hung around each of Xavier's wrists. Xav's heels were also gold in color and were open toe and open heel, with straps that wrapped up around his ankles. As for makeup, Xavier did dabble with it, using a slight touch of blush, and golden mascara to give him a dangerous kind of appearance; a rather flirtatious one.
Then there came his hair. Xavier always had long hair and never really did much to style it, other than his usual braid and ponytail. But for this event, he knew he had to style it into a more feminine look, and had spent many hours combing it into different looks. He had no idea how much of a chore it was! He had finally settled on parting his hair unevenly, so that it was located more on the right side of his head, causing his bangs to swoop towards the left and partially cover his left eye, emphasizing his flirty appearance. Xavier had then taken a curling iron to his locks, giving his strands a wavy touch. He let these strands fall amongst his shoulders and back, giving his hair extra volume. It had been washed about three times prior to this treatment, and as such it had a small shine under the lights. A small golden bow was pinned to Xav's bangs, in order to match the golden bow that was wrapped around Lady's neck.
Lady herself had shed her skin, and then received a thorough wash/rub down by Xavier, causing her shiny pelt to positively glitter under the lights. As mentioned, she had a golden bow wrapped around her neck, the bow located on the back of her neck. The serpent Poke'mon slithered alongside Xavier with her head held high like a true lady.
The pair slowly ambled through the smoky haze rolling across the floor, pausing in front of the audience to perform a slow circle, showing off their outfits. Xavier then quirked a smile to the audience and offered them a wink, Lady doing the same, before they made their way to the judges. Xavier and Lady repeated the process to them, and then both curtsied politely before making their way off the stage, their haze following them. Once off, Xavier sighed and slumped, having been keen on keeping a good posture that entire time. "Thank goodness..." he mumbled before finding his way to a seat. [/sup]

Xavier will be signing up for the Appeals Contest using Muse, the Seviper he recently received Z the Porygon. I'm also signing him up to be a woman for a day in the cross-dressing pageant, before he notices. <3

Xav hesitated for a moment, giving Felis a narrow-eyed looks. "A Duke, eh?" He was a noble? Xav knew it. Coughing, he fell back into rhythm, a placid look overtaking his features. Outwardly he appeared calm, yet internally a foul cord had been struck. However, he noted with some interest how Felis didn't appear too pleased with his job, and couldn't help but grin inwardly. Certainly, he man appeared rather gentle and kind, but Xavier held an ill prejudice against any kind of Noble. He had helped bust down their castle walls after all... something he wasn't about to openly admit in front of Felis. Not currently, anyway; Lord knows how he would react.
Raising an eyebrow, he considered Felis once more. "What are taxes like?" He inquired lightly, as if it was nothing more than a curio. Yet as soon as the words left his lips, he heard Andrew call from behind them, causing Xavier to roll his eyes and turn back to regard the man. He was absolutely goofy, Xavier realized with a sigh. Nothing would seem to phase him... and Xavier didn't want to start a spar in the Glade. It wasn't worth it anyway. Gesturing for the man to catch up, he turned and continued walking. "Any funny business and I'll box you up a bit." He declared with a smirk.

Oh wow~ Xavier would love the tokens and a Leucistic Seviper. Xav seems to be a snake-Poke'mon trainer that specializes in white guys. xD

Xavier nodded in response to Arcadie's reply, it had made sense; he wouldn't want his Poke'mon to get lost in unfamiliar territory either. Just the thought of the idea caused him to wrap his arms under the bulge in his chest, making sure Buddy was still in place. Of course he would be, it would be extremely noticeable if the small Poke'mon had somehow fallen out, but Xavier couldn't ignore the small voice in his head saying 'Just in case'.
Upon sighting the albino Sableye, a wide smile crossed the man's face. "Oh shes lovely." He crooned, chuckling when the Sableye hid behind Arcadie. "I have an albino Gyarados myself, I love the color..." he stated, becoming lost in thought for a moment. Blinking, he righted himself with an awkward grin. Now was not the time, nor place for such chatter. It was positively freezing.
"I was actually heading to Boreal Port, but I think I may have mis-stepped somewhere along the way... do you know where this is?" Xav asked quietly, his eyes wandering about again/ [/blockquote]
