[YUU LIHUA]

PEACEFUL THAN SOME PLACES...

...I GUESS.

Yuu Lihua awoke and yawned. He rubbed his eyes to get the tiredness out of him. He looked out the window of his apartment. The same as ever. He looked over at the pokeballs scatted on the table. he smiled as he picked them up and attached them to his belt. He stretched himself and went over to the bath room.

Yuu got himself washed and such and placed his glasses on his eyes. There really wasn't much to do today. Other than hunt down trainers and battle them for their money. He sighed as he ate his simple breakfast of toast and orange juice. He then went outside the door of his apartment and went to the beach. His usual training began.

Yuu looked as he released all of his pokemon to practice their moves and skills. He tested their power and such. He looked as Armory tried to use fly but in a unique manner. Lately he has been trying to get Armory to learn Aerial Ace. A powerful attack said to not be able to miss...such attempts to learn though are difficult, and Yuu doesn't have the convince of TMs. He sighed as he raised his arms.

"Alright guys! Time to come back!!" Yuu allowed his pokemon to gather around him. He petted them and returned them all to their pokeballs with the exception of his best friend and companion, Daichu the raichu. He took out a pocky and placed it in his mouth.

Come to think of it, Olivine seems to have less people around. Then again Yuu could care less about people, but the fact that he has this trait and notice the decline of people around is certainly something. He started to walk over to the light house.

Yuu would come over to the light house sometimes and visit the pokemon, Amphoros, used to shine the light house. For one the place was actually peaceful when no one was around the place making noise. He opened the doors and started going up the stairs with Daichu following him.

Yuu nibbled at his pocky as he walked up the numerous floors till he stopped at about the forth floor, which lead to a balcony out look. He stared off into the sea and allowed the wind cool off Yuu and Daichu. He sighed as he finished the pocky piece.

Axin and Kichirou could not leave Yuu's mind. The fact that Team Rocket has caused this much and has powerful members is a plague on Yuu's mind. The fact that they are that high leveled posed a challenge to even Yuu, and while he doesn't flaunt his skill, the fact that they were able to match him in battle terrifies him. He sighed as he looked out at the sea. He wondered if his training is good enough. It's enough to have good skill but to have the power to back it up is another thing all together.

Yuu's thoughts were snapped out of when he heard foot steps, he turned around and readied his poekballs. Daichu himself turned to see the figure walking out the entrance to the fourth floor balcony area. He stared as he waited for the figure to be shown in the sunlight.
