There and Back Again: Victorious Return

[LishaKara]

I decided to start this RP because normally, I never see any return-journey RPs. So, here's the scenario:

You've seen it all. From the peaks of Mt. Pyre, to the icy depths of Shoal Cave, to the sandy sting of the desert.

You've battled against treacherous conditions and treacherous trainers. In fact, you've beaten the Elite Four!

But, when you see another trainer on TV, you realize that nobody knows your name.

So, you decide to set out, bactrack to the places you went, and tell all sorts of people about your glory.

A novel idea, eh? NOT. There are others, just like you, who have the exact same plan.

So when you find them in the Battle Frontier, you decide to stick with them for one reason or another. After all, what could happen?

Yes, this RP DOES start out in Hoenn, on the Battle Frontier. The rules are as follows:

1. No godmoding(no fusing or automatic KO moves)
2. Be reasonable. If you're captured by Team Magma, at least make it look as if you're actually TRYING to escape. What I mean is that you can't say: Bob sent out Blaziken and blaziken broke its chains and broke the window and Bob jumped out and beat up the guards end of post.
3. No controlling other people's characters(you can say, My pokemon fired a hyper beam at them and they were knocked off their feet, but you can't say, Their pokemon fired a hyper beam at mine and mine was knocked off its feet. Get the picture?)
4. Romance is allowed, but only to a certain extent.
5.If you understand these rules, put "OkAy" in your post.
6. Try to keep the cussing to a minimum.
7. NO FLAMING UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
8. You may have only 1 shiny.
9. And most importantly, PLEASE BE LITERATE. No chatspeak.

IC:

"One-two! One-two! That's right, right, left!" Bianca stepped back, forth. Her Aggron stepped back, forth. "Agg-ron! Raan!"

They spun up and around, down, and all directions. "Ya ready? One-two punch, go!"

It was rather energetic for a while, until they both got tired. "Fame . . . Is on the way," Bianca gasped as she flopped down on the ground, right on the feet of another trainer.

[Jeudi]

Ida's eyes looked at the person that fell onto her feet. She had been like this for the past two hours, lucky enough to have been zoned out. "I'm sorry, are you okay? I'm sorry...I sort of Zoned out. What's your name again?"

[Alter Ego]

Oy! K&S, you swiped the name of my Espeon! And that is not an OkAy thing to do. OkAy? <_<

Are you still taking aplicants? If so.

Name: Oliver Donovan

Nickname(optional): Whitey locks

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Personality: A curious and adventurous person, if something of a dreamer. Oliver often has problems concentrating on the more grueling tasks required of him. He can also be lazy, forgetful, and impudent at times. Oliver can happily spout randomness but is eveasive about most things that concern him although he is mostly friendly even with strangers. To really become his friend is not an easy task. And once you've achieved it, there's no turning back. His intelligence is something one just can't put one's finger on. Just when you think he's smart he'll go do something extremely stupid and once you think he's dumb, he'll act surprisingly smart. Oliver can also be extremely bullheaded at times, when he really gets it into his head that he will do something then he'll do it and that's the end of it, no rational arguments will help.

Appearance(you may post a pic): Tall and slender for his age, Oliver was born with a partial pigment flaw that makes his hair grow white, earning him his nickname. He doesn't spend much time grooming himself and only cuts the hair when it falls over his face. He has dark green eyes, is about 1,88 meters (whatever that is in feet) tall and has slightly tanned skin.
Oliver usually wears dark brown sneakers, dark blue, nearly black, jeans, a black T-shirt, and an emerald green bandana. (He thinks black and very dark shades of others are useful colours that go with nearly everything ^_^) He's also got a pair of fingerless, black gloves and a brown backpack

Bio: Born in the bustling port town of Slateport, Oliver spent his early years like most city children do. Although he earned many jibes for his unusual hair colour, Oliver did have a decently sized group of friends to spend his time with and his parents were loving, so he was relatively happy. Shortly after Oliver's sixth birthday his mother happily announced that he was going to have a little brother. Both parents began to fuss about the baby-to-be and consequently paid far less attention to their existing son. While this certainly angered the six-year old he wasn't too bothered as his friends reassured him that things would return to normal in a few years. But, as fate would have it, they didn't. Oliver's mother, Ruby, had always suffered from a weak heart and the exertion of a second childbirth was too much for her. She perished in a hospital bed, at the very same moment that Oliver's younger brother came to be. Both Oliver and his father were devastated by this, both retreating to their respective hideaways in an attempt to cope. Surprisingly, Oliver reacted to the loss far better than his father, and after about eight hours of personal crying, screaming, and general tantrum he returned home, red-faced and tear-eyed and continued his life with gritted teeth. His father, on the other hand, grew increasingly disintrested from the rest of the world. It soon became obvious that Oliver's father was in no condition to provide for his family, and they were forced to move to Verdanturf, into the care of Ruby's older sister, Ophala. She turned out to be a harsh taskmaster, trying her best to keep Oliver busy or, as she called it, 'out of mischief' from dawn to dusk. It was during one miserable evening, a few days after his fifteenth birthday, that Oliver came to contact with his first pokémon. He was finishing up a ditch he had been ordered to dig when he suddenly heard a rustle in the leaves of a nearby bush, turning around he found himself face-to-face with a Shuppet, probably lured there by Oliver's miserable thoughts. Startled, the young boy tripped and fell down into the ditch he had dug, and when he came back on his feet he discovered that the ghost had dissapeared. This scene repeated several evenings after that, and the two became friends of a sort. Finally Oliver decided to bring forth a proposal he had been thinking on for quite some time; using a part of the money he had been putting aside from his allowance, Oliver bought a Pokéball and presented it to the Shuppet when they next met, asking to become his trainer. Sure enough, the pokémon actually agreed, entering captivity willingly. The next morning, Oliver gathered his belongings, bought some supplies at the local store, and set out on his path to become a Pokémon league champion, and he was; for about a week before his position was claimed by an ambitious rival and he was cast into obscurity.

Pokemon:
Shuppet (Male), Charizard ('Cha-cha'*, Male), Swellow ('Grace', Female), Shuckle (Male), Castform ('Castie', Female), Shiny Yanma ('Chrysta', Female)

*(Yeah, CharMz goes by this name too. But my first Charmander was called 'Cha-cha' so any similarity between the two is purely coincidental.)

[LishaKara]

OOC: Accepted, Alter Ego. Nice profile :)

IC:

Bianca rolled off Ida's feet and was helped up by her Aggron.
"Aggron, return!" It disappeared in a quick flash. "Oh, sorry 'bout that," She said sheepishly. "I'm Bianca, Bianca Rosemont. . . And, who are you?"

[Alter Ego]

OOC: Thanks. ^_^ I actually used this profile (Or rather, the same character with slight differences) in another RP with my Serebii alias, although that one died because I had forgot about it and didn't post for ages. >_< Sorry to anyone who was on that RP, I completely failed you by dissapearing like that. :(
Oh, we're in the battle frontier now, right?
IC:

Meanwhile, not too far from Bianca and Ida, a slender, white-haired boy in his late teens laid his backpack down on the ground with a tired sigh. New challenges were all well and good, but the Battler Pyramid sure took a lot out of you. And his victory somehow didn't taste as sweet as that of concuring the Hoenn league.

"Break time." he called to the two rather small and ghost-like pokémon following him, a Shuppet and a Castform, both invaluable members of his team, before sitting down onto the grass and lying down on his back to watch the clouds play above. The weather seemed like a borderline case, but he could always ask Castie to chase away any rain.

"Foorm..." the Castform said, following her trainer's example and lying down in mid-air. The Shuppet however had picked up a good deal of agitation and restlessness from the people in the pyramid and was feeling up for something quite different from rest. Had his trainer not been preoccupied with the sky, he would certainly have spotted the mischievous glint in the ghost pokémon's eyesockets as it flotaed slowly, stealthily towards the two girls.

Shuppet chuckled very quietly for himself, fading from view as he drew near to the two and filled his lungs with a deep breath of air. This was going to be grand.

"SHHHRRRRIIIIII!"

The ghost pokémon released a horrendous screech right behind Bianca in an obvious attempt to startle her.

[Jeudi]

Ida didn't look scared, just touched the ghost pokemon, not looking at Bianca. "My name is Ida Larabee." She looked towards the other trainer, sighing slightly. "who are you?"

[denro]

Name: Denro

Age:18

His favorite pokemon is his Emerald charzard named glare, He hopes that one day he will have caught all pokemon known to man. He tries to be friends with everyone but he will battle if he has to.
Appearance(you may post a pic):He has an extra pocket so he can carry an extra pokemon :). He has blue hair and he well wears blue pants and a green shirt, He has green eyes and a scar on his left leg.

Bio:He started to like pokemon when he was 14 and he had bought some pokeballs and had found a wild Emerald Charmander which then he named Glare.

Pokemon:Emerald Charzard, Blastoise,lava venusaur

[Neko64]

OOC: DON'T complain alter. That may not be ok with you but i've read the rules and its not against them >.> I couldn't think of another. Besides, the thread is closed. DUH!!

IC: Kelly looked at the trainers from the tree. She watched as a trainer's Shuppet went up behind this girl and tried to scare her. Kelly smirked "Idiots.." She whispered before jumping down the opposite side of the tree and looking for another trainer to battle. She took out the Eevee egg out of her backpack and cradled it in her arms, gazing at it expectinly. she put the egg back in her pack and continued walking..

GAH!! *stabs small paragraph*

[Uzumaki_Naruto]

As I walked towards a group of trainers, I saw a trainer holding her pokemon egg. "Uh. Excuse me miss. Would that happen to be a pokemon egg?" I asked. "It sure is beautiful. Oh. My name is Jay." I said holding out a hand.

[Neko64]

Kelly noticed the trainer after she started to put the egg away. She took it out again and grinned at him. "Think so?" She said holding up the egg. It was a good size so it should hatch soon.. She got up and walked up to the trainer. "Yeah it is beautiful.." She said in awe as she placed the egg in her bacpack and carefully put her backpack over her shoulder. She walked up to the trainer called Jay "I'm Kelly she said shaking his hand..

[Uzumaki_Naruto]

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Kelly." I said. "I wonder what kind of pokemon will hatch from it. Don't tell me. I'll try and figure it out." I said smiling. "So... where are you headed?"

[Neko64]

"Just around" She said shortly. Jay was probably after what she seeked too and thats why she doesn't really want anyone following her..

She then remembered what she was there for. "Soo.... How about a.. battle? She asked slowly, reaching for one of her shiny, custom Pokeballs on her belt..

[Uzumaki_Naruto]

I clenched onto the pokeball with a silver star. "A battle? Why not." I said smiling. "I'll start. Just to give you an advantage. Here goes. Come on out Shoal!" I shouted. A large flash bursted into the air. A large steel pokemon came out. "Meet Kelly, Shoal." I said to the eager pokemon. "Well. Your up."

[Neko64]

Kelly held onto a Pokemon with a midnight blue top and a silver bottom. It also had stars and a full moon on it on the top. She threw it up in the air and a large, dark blue Umbreon with neon blue rings came out. The rings glowed a bright color as the Umbreon let out a long, energetic howl. Kelly smirked at the metagross and then turned to the Umbreon "I know I know.." Kelly whispered to him "You wanted to be out for a while now and now you are so go and give it your all, Yume!!" Kelly called to it, smiling. Yume turned and smiled back, nodding his head slightly. Yume turned back to the enemy metagross and charged at it with full speed. He was so fast he couldn't be spotted anywhere. He was using faint attack.

Yume appearded behing the metagross. He lifted up his paw silently and created a shadow ball. Standing up on his hind feet now, Yume jumped up and threw the shadow ball at the metagross, hitting it directly..

Yayness!! *huggles semi-long paragraphs*

[Random Plushie]

OOC: Wargh. Curse this time zone of mine. x.x

IC:

"Give it back!" Robin cried, flailing her arms about her as she gave chase to an average everyday-looking Swampert. The Swampert couldn't be seen under the dozens of Meowth plushies that towered in a pile above his head.

Looking back, the Swampert gave his Trainer an annoying grin before turning and sprinting towards one of the main squares of the Battle Frontier.

"Wait! Stop! You're going to run int-" Robin was cut off as she slammed straight into the back of the Swampert, who in turn had slammed straight into a Trainer, who was slender and had white hair. Of course, the immense pile of plushies were sent scattering around the area, creating quite a scene.

"Sorry! Sorry!" Robin shouted frantically with embarassment, quickly leaping to her feet as her Swampert sat cross-legged on the ground, rubbing his forehead. She helped the boy to his feet before picking up one of the many plushies that had fallen to the ground.

"I'm really sorry, Fishy wasn't watching where he was going.. Here, take this!" Robin held out one of the Meowth plushies to the boy, forcing a weak smile.

OOC: Ergh, lame entrance. Me got writer's block. XD
And Plushie will be more active on the weekend. She will try. =3

[Alter Ego]

OOC: K&S, I know it's not against the official rules but it still goes against good RPing ettiquette to swipe someone else's name. And I was going to have an Espeon called 'Iumi' *Goes to sulk in the corner*

IC:

"Umm...thanks." Oliver replied, feeling more than a little awkward about the situation but accepting the tribute "And don't worry about it, I'm fine, honest."

"Form!" Castie squealed in delight, floating forth at the Meowth plushie and hugging it with all the skill of a pokémon without arms. "Caast-form!"

"And thanks." he added, taking a closer look at the girl, there was something distinctly familiar about her but he couldn't place it, (OOC: They're from the same town so I assume that Oliver has seen Robin on occasion even though they might not have talked) if only Shuppet was here, he would surely have remembered. Where was Shuppet anyway? The boy peered around a bit, locating the ghost pokémon a bit further away, sulking as he was being patted by a fairly young woman with long, midnight blue hair.

"Here Shuppet!" Oliver called, gesturing the disgruntled ghost pokémon to float over before turning to address Robin. "I'm Oliver by the way." he said, extending a hand to the still rather flustered girl "What's your name?"

[Random Plushie]

OOC: Sounds cool with Plushie. ^^

IC:

Robin heaved a sigh of relief at the boy's acceptance of the gift. She smiled and shook the hand that he offered her.

"My name's Robin, nice 'ta meetcha." Robin grinned broadly. She didn't know what to make of this guy, but he looked somehow familiar, as if she'd seen him at a PokeMart or something. The girl was snapped from her thoughts as she noticed Oliver's Shuppet returning to him.

"Your Shuppet reminds me of my Banette." Robin commented, pausing for a bit before finally starting to collect the plushies that remained on the ground. Apparently, Fishy had already been doing so, as he was already picking up most of them.

OOC: You should've realized that I'd have a Banette. XD

[Alter Ego]

"Nice to meet you too." Oliver replied, allowing Castie to have the Meowth plushie since she was so obviously fond of it. The shapeshifting pokémon gave triumphant cry and rose to the skies with her newfound prize, unable to control her positive emotions she caused a sudden and very intense sunshine to fall on the area, a peculiar red bubble surrounding her body.

Shuppet groaned in the bright sunlight and Oliver raised a hand over his eyes to shield them from the rays. "Hey Castie!" he called up to the weather pokémon "Could you tone that sunshine down a bit?"

The Castform gained an embarassed expression and allowed the sun to return to its normal intensity, her body returning back to the usual greyish white.¨

Now relieved from the direct glare of the sun, Shuppet floated over to his trainer and suddenly spotted Robin for the first time.

Briefly, the ghost pokémon simply floated in mid-air and watched before his eyes, if they could be referred to as such, widened.

"Shuppet!" he exclaimed, busily darting around Robin as he recognized the girl "Shup-up-up-uppet! Shuppet!"

[Random Plushie]

"Did I miss something?" Robin asked, her expression befunddled, as Shuppet circled her.

From nearby, Fishy could be heard chuckling softly from behind his pile of plushies. Robin didn't seem to care, but instead looked to Oliver for an explanation on Shuppet's behaviour.

OOC: *eats short post*

[Alter Ego]

"I-don't know." Oliver confided, watching Shuppet's continuous circling around the girl. "It's not one of his standard negative emotion hypes, that's for sure. And his words aren't making any sense."

"Shuuuup-up-up-up!" the ghost pokémon called out, continuing to circle Robin.

"It's almost like...it's like he knows you." he concluded, taking a closer look at the girl. "And to tell you the truth you do look familiar somehow." he added thoughtfully. There was a definite sighting of this girl stored somewhere within Oliver's mind and he knew it. "Verdanturf." the boy thought out loud, the picture becoming clearer "You wouldn't happen to have stopped by in Verdanturf a few years back, would you?" he asked.

[Random Plushie]

OOC: I forgot to put her hair and eye color on the profile! XD I'm so oblivious! *edits profile*

IC:

Robin tilted her head at Oliver's question, used to Shuppet's circles by now.

"Stopped by? You kidding? I lived in Verdanturf before I started traveling." Robin answered, unsure of what Oliver's point was.

Fishy walked over to Robin's side, occasionally avoiding Shuppet's circle path, now too bored to do anything but be near his Trainer and hold her stuff.

[Alter Ego]

Oliver's jaw nearly dropped at the answer, "So did I!" he replied, the whole thing suddenly making sense to him. "I must have been there for about a year before I met Shuppet. He would have seen you for sure!"

The boy took a closer look at Robin, the dark brown eyes, the ash-brown hair. Yes, he had definitely seen her while he was busy digging up those abbysmal trenches, but he had never even thought of it.

[Neko64]

OOC:Yeah well I don't really care if its against 'good rping ettiquette' because I don't really care what most of the people here think about me XDX3

Oh, and I looked through your profile and found that you have no Espeon so I guess I beat you to it :PXP

[Random Plushie]

"Oh.. Th-Then.. Hey, weren't you that kid that everybody thought had wacky hair?" Robin asked, innocently. After a moment, she instantly covered her mouth with one hand, eventually continuing.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean anything by that!" Robin instantly became worked up again.

Fishy merely rolled his eyes, sighing.

OOC: Oh, and K&S, I'm pretty sure Titan is just sulking, you don't have to worry. XD Aren't you, Titan? =3

[Alter Ego]

OOC: K&S, the reason that there's no Espeon on my profile is because her name was swiped. But yeah, I'm just sulking and its not like it's the end of the world...but just try not to use that every time, m'kay?

IC:

"That would be me." Oliver replied with a tired sigh, "Although the name as I recall was 'Whitey Locks', wasn't it?"

Always the hair, isn't it? he thought for himself. Typical, he'd just met someone from his past who remembered him, and the first things she could think of was the hair.

"It's alright." Oliver added, noticing that Robin was obviously feeling bad about the question herself "I've grown used to it by now..."

[Random Plushie]

"But.. If you're used to it, isn't that a bad thing? You shouldn't be used to name-calling. Do you need a hug?" Robin asked, cheering up. After a bit of awkward silence, Robin quickly added.

"Because Fishy loves hugs!" Robin exclaimed, elbowing her Swampert.

Fishy merely glared at the Trainer, pausing for a while before safely setting the Meowth plushies on the ground, then spreading his arms wide as if waiting for a hug.

[Alter Ego]

"Maybe." Oliver replied with a faint smile "But 'Whitey Locks' or just 'Whitey' for short is also a name that a very dear friend of mine liked to referr to me by..." he smiled wistfully at the memory before dismissing it "And besides." he added, "Those who used the name in the nastier way have found themselves the targets of inexplicible paranormal activity." he grinned at Shuppet. "So I'm not all that careful about the name, others should be. It's reserved for friends and mortal enemies as it were."

[Random Plushie]

Fishy sighed with relief, dropping his arms and picking up the dozen Meowth plushies.

"Oh, okay." Robin grinned. "Actually.. The same thing happened to me once. This mean little swimmer dude called me a sissy because I like to Surf on Fishy and Kippy, so Marionette took care of 'em for me." Robin smiled at the thought.

[Alter Ego]

"I'll keep that in mind the next time I get the urge to call you Sissy then..." Oliver replied with a slight grin. Shuppet floating up next to him. "So, what do you think of the frontier, Robin?" he asked in an attempt to keep the conversation going. It was always nice for Oliver to chat up with people who knew him, even if it was just because of his hair-colour.

[Random Plushie]

"Oh, it's so much fun!" Robin exclaimed, actually raising her arms and twirling about a bit before speaking again.

"Me and my party have been winning plushies all day, because they're so darn cute!" Robin beamed. Fishy decided to take this time to sweat-drop.

[Alter Ego]

"So I see..." Oliver replied, looking at the veritable mountain of plushies and not bothering to ask where ever she would put them all. "But yeah, it's quite a fun place." he added "Particularly the battle dome." he smiled at the thought "Beating Tucker really brought back memories of my league days."

"Shup-up-up-uppet!" Shuppet interjected, adding his idea of what a good time at the frontier was.

"And Shuppet enjoys the Battle Pyramid, obviously." Oliver added, translating for his pokémon.

[Random Plushie]

"Battle Pyramid is fun, yeah," Robin replied, "But me thinks that the Battle Palace is the bestest. Because it makes you so proud when you see your pals beat up that ol' Spencer." She smiled, sighing.

Fishy was now bored to the point of speechlessness, every so often glancing at a passing Trainer, his only form of enjoyment.

[Alter Ego]

"It's kind of unnerving though." Oliver confided "I mean, seeing that your pokémon is falling into an obvious trap and not being able to warn them from it. But Cha-cha sorted them out good." he smiled a bit, noticing that Fishy was looking very bored. "Speaking of which, he'd probably want to get some excersise. Come on out Cha-cha!" the boy reached for a pokéball on his belt and threw it to the ground, a sizeable Charizard emerging with a loud roar and eyeing the others, particularly Fishy, in an attempt to discern if this was another battle.

"Relax." Oliver said, stroking the Charizard's horned head "I just brought you out to say 'hi' and stretch a bit. These are Robin." he gestured towards the girl "And Fishy." he shifted the gesture to the Svampert.

"Zard!" Cha-cha called out in acknowledgement, stretching his wings a bit.

[Random Plushie]

OOC: XD XD Cannot help it..

IC:

Fishy looked up at the unnervingly large Charizard, tilting his head for a moment before making a sound that sounded a lot like "whoot".

Robin thought about Oliver's statement.

"But doesn't it make you feel great when they get themselves out, and then totally toast the opponent? I remember that battle every time I look at that pretty Symbol.." Robin sighed with happiness.

"Oh, and, hi Cha-Cha!" Robin beamed at the Charizard.

[Alter Ego]

"That's true." Oliver replied, smiling at the memory "And it's exactly what Cha-cha did to that Arcanine of Spenser's. I think I've still got that battle recorded in my frontier pass."

"Cha!" Cha-cha replied to robin, giving the girl a toothy grin, stretching out his wings meaningfully. "Cha-chari-zard!"

"I think he's offering you a ride, Robin." Oliver said, feeling like he had a fairly good grasp of what his pokémon was getting at.

"Cha!" Cha-cha concured with a vigorous nod.

[Random Plushie]

"A ride?" Robin repeated the question, tilting her head. "In front of all these peoples? To where?" She kept jolting out question after question.

She was about to ask another question before Fishy elbowed the girl and muttered something in his native tongue.

Robin sweat-dropped, pausing, then nodding vigorously. "Okay!"

[Alter Ego]

"Oh, it's just a fun-ride." Oliver replied "And I think doing it in front of all these people is part of the attraction for him."

Noticing that the girl was a bit anxious about it even though her reply was positive, he added "Don't worry. I'll fly on the sidlines with Grace and we'll catch you if you fall."

Cha-cha gave an indignant snort at the mere suggestion that he would drop a passenger, lowering himself to all fours so it would be easier for Robin to climb on.

"Oh, he's never lost a passenger." Oliver added to correct the negative tone of his previous statement as he reached for the premiere ball on his belt "But just in case. Go Grace!"

"Swee!" with a magnificent cry, a sizeable Swellow appeared beside her trainer.

"We'll be flying a bit today." the boy said, mounting the flying pokémon who, despite her elgeant frame, bore his weight effortlessly. "Ready when you are then."

[Random Plushie]

Robin nodded once more, cautiously climbing onto the back of the magnificient creature.

"W-Wow.. Neato." Robin commented as she got into a good position.

Fishy decided to sit down where he was, still holding the plushies, merely because his feet were getting tired.

[Alter Ego]

"And we are away!" Oliver called out in delight as Cha-cha set of into the sky, his muscular wings quickly bearing both his weight and the girl's as Grace followed behind him.

Oliver briefly shut his eyes, relishing the feeling of having the wind brush against his face as he flew before he glanced back down, seeing the crowd of the frontier as little more than coloured dots. "How does it feel?" the boy asked Robin, having to half-shout to be heard over the breeze.

[Random Plushie]

Robin's eyes widened as she tightened her grip on Cha-Cha, wimpering with fear for a while before the feeling of the breeze overcame her, and her fear began to ease.

"It's.. great!" Robin shouted back, grinning broadly.

[Alter Ego]

"First time flying?!" Oliver asked, Grace flying a bit closer to make the conversation easier "You looked a little pale back there!"

"Cha-charii..." Cha-cha suggested, a glint not too different from one of Shuppet's igniting in his eyes.

"Now really." Oliver said, shaking his head at the suggestion "I'm not sure she'd enjoy that."

[Random Plushie]

"E-Enjoy what?" Robin asked, obviously noticing the glint in the Charizard's eye, as well as Oliver's response.

"What are you talking about!?"

[Alter Ego]

"I have a nasty feeling that you're about to find out..." Oliver replied "Cha-cha! No!"

"Chaa!" the fire pokémon called out before his trainer could stop him, suddenly plummeting in an almost completely vertical line, performing a move which Oliver had fittingly named the 'Death Plunge' as he sped down towards the ground.

"Let's go Grace!" the boy called out, his Swellow dutifully following Cha-cha through the dive. "You've shown her your skills already!" the boy roared over the wind as they came neck-to-neck. "Pull up!"

With a disgruntled snort the Charizard obeyed, pulling fairly gently out of the dive and resuming normal flight.

"Sorry about that." Oliver said to Robin, pushing aside a few strands of white hair that fallen over his face during the dive "He just can't seem to resist showing of his flying skills."

[Jeudi]

Ida had long forgotten what was going on, granted, she did zone out a bit much to begin with...she hoped something was better than this chaos. "Maybe this need to be famous is really that stupid...I don't know anymore." Her eyes looked around before walking towards another area, finding a quiet place after an hour of looking around. There she let out her Typhlosion, leaning against it as she fell asleep unknowingly.

[Uzumaki_Naruto]

OOC:Shoot. You guys sure write a lot in 1 day huh. Now getting back to my battle.

IC:
"Metagross. You ok?" I asked as it got up. It nodded." Nice speed that Umbreon has. Be careful Metagross. Start with Agility. Then go into a Meteor Mash attack. Go now!" It inceased it's speed and launched itself towards Umbreon. "Don't worry if it uses Shadow Ball. I have a counter attack." I said to it.

[Random Plushie]

OOC: Sowwy, I like to go cwazy with posting when people in the same rp are online. XD

IC:

Robin made a whining sound as Oliver and Grace caught up with Cha-Cha.

"I-It's okay. You know.. It was actually kinda fun." Robin's fear dissolved once more as she recalled the feeling of plummeting towards the Earth like that.

"Has he ever done that to you?" Robin asked, trying to imagine the look on Oliver's face the very first time that happened.

[Alter Ego]

"Yeah..." Oliver replied, grinning at the memory "He did that the very first time we flew together, I actually fell of his back. Grace saved me that time though." he stroked the Swellow's head affectionately "But he has honed it since then, I'm glad you enjoyed it." he added "Not many people have the guts for that sort of thing, especially when caught of guard."

"Cha" Cha-cha concured, nodding vigorously "Chari-zaaard."

[Random Plushie]

"Really?" Robin asked simply, closing her eyes and feeling the cool breeze float passed. She came close to riding a Tropius once, but freaked out and decided to change her mind at the last minute. Now she would've gladly hopped on after that experience.

"Can we go back down now? Fishy shouldn't be left unsupervised." Robin stated, sweat-dropping.

[Alter Ego]

"I agree..." Oliver replied "The same goes for Shuppet as well, let's go. Oh, and Cha-cha." he added, the familiar glint appearing in both their eyes "Death plunge."

"Chaaa!" the Charizard called out, grinning as he dropped into the familiar dive once more, this time only to stop just before they would crash to the ground. "Giddy-up Grace!" Oliver laughed, spurring the Swellow to follow suit. The bird pokémon obeyed, rolling her eyes. Her trainer really behaved so recklessly at times.

[Random Plushie]

"Whoa!" Robin couldn't help but yelp as Cha-Cha went into his second plunge, eventually returning to the ground where they had previously been.

Fishy had left the pile of plushies on a bench, where he sat awkwardly next to them. The reason it was awkward? Man, how many Swamperts do you see sitting on a bench next to a pile of plushies alone?

[Alter Ego]

Shuppet grinned at the Svampert's discomfort, circling around the water pokémon. He was just about to make a second attempt at his infamous screeching routine when he noticed, much to his dismay, that both Robin and Oliver returned to the ground.

Oliver leapt gracefully of the swellow's back, still smiling broadly and wondering what Robin's reaction would be.

[Random Plushie]

"Again.. So.. Fun.." Robin breathed deeply, slowly making her way back to solid ground. As soon as she took a step, she found that her knees had grown weak, forcing her to the ground.

Before Oliver could do anything, she forced herself back on her feet, grinning broadly as if nothing had happened.

"Heh heh.. I'm fine.." Robin sweat-dropped, then turned to Fishy, who was swinging his legs back and forth absent-mindedly, but innocently. The Swampert smiled at his Trainer's return, completely forgetting about Shuppet.

[Alter Ego]

"So I see..." Oliver replied "Grace, Cha-cha, you are free to do as you please as long as you keep out of trouble."

The Swellow gave an affirmative nod and set of into the sky on a solo basis, performing some of the elegant flying movements that had earned her her nickname.

Shuppet looked at Robin, whose energy had obviously been drained by the flight and who seemed to have forgotten about the ghost pokémon's existence alltogether. Please... Shuppet thought as he faded from view and snuck up behind Robin and gathered the full power of his voice Please let it work this time...

"SCRIIIIII!"

The Shuppet unleashed an incredible barrage of sound right next to the girl's ear, clearly putting on his best effort.

[Random Plushie]

"Oh, shootses.." Robin muttered, grimacing and rubbing the ear into which Shuppet had shouted. Turning to the Shuppet, Robin paused for a moment before coming to a conclusion.

"Come on out, Marionette!" Robin shouted, grabbing a Pokeball from her belt. In a flash, another shady Pokemon took form, eyes darting about in search of a prank to pull. 'Twas a Banette, obviously yearning at least to do something, immediately grinning slyly at the sight of so many potential targets.

"Marionette, do me a favor and keep Shuppet here busy." Robin stated calmy, still rubbing her ear.

"Banette.." Marionette hissed tauntingly at Shuppet, vanishing from view and reappearing several feet away, then teleporting again.

[Alter Ego]

"Oh, sorry about that." Oliver said, frowning at Shuppet "He just seems to be in a really mischievous mood today. I'm sorry..."

"Shupp..." Shuppet hissed back at the Banette, clearly wanting to show her who the boss was and vanishing in thin air, attempting to reach the other ghost pokémon by means of a Faint Attack.

"Well...that should keep him busy." Oliver said, briefly watching the scene before turning back to Robin "How's your ear?"

[Random Plushie]

"Uh.. I've heard worse.." Robin replied, gesturing towards Marionette.

The Banette was obviously delighted at Shuppet's reaction, allowing herself to be stricken by the Faint Attack, but she obviously could take more than one such hit. Once again, she shouted tauntingly at Shuppet, this time surrounding herself with balls of blue aura, clearly a Will-O-Wisp.

[Alter Ego]

"Does she have that habit too?" Oliver asked, watching as Shuppet blocked out the Will-O-Wisp with a barrier of green energy, easily identified as the Protect technique, before unleashing a Confuse Ray at Marionette.

Castie floated down beside the two, turning to Robin, whom she remembered as the nice girl who had given the Meowth plushie, and smiled a bit at her, giving of something that sounded like a 'Thank You'. The plushie had been left in Cha-cha's care, and the Charizard looked even more sheepish than Fishy, holding the plushie like it was his firstborn baby in fear of the Castform's wrath should something happen to it.

[Random Plushie]

"Only when she was a Shuppet.. Now she tends to be more manipulative towards people she would think of as enemies or merely challenges." Robin replied.

Marionette was easily able to dodge the Confuse Ray, but she wasn't planning on launching her own. Instead, she began glowing in an odd color for a Ghost Pokemon.. Hmm, she was going to use Psychic.

[Alter Ego]

"So it's a typical Shuppet thing then..." Oliver said "Maybe it's a good thing that he refuses to evolve though. I mean, you can't block out manipulativeness with a pair of earpluggs after all."

"Form." Castie concured, slightly huffed that the girl had ignored her.

Shuppet gained a mischievous grin, allowing the psychic attack to strike him head on and absorbing quite a bit of damage. He then performed a peculiar dance-like move in mid-air, small orbs of energy appearing around both of ghost pokémon as their life-force was divided equally.

[Random Plushie]

Marionette cringed at the loss of health, but remained grinning. This one was going to take a bit more to bring down.

"Banette bane!" Marionette shouted towards Shuppet, gathering dark energy around her, forming it into a rather large Shadow Ball. She wasn't going to launch it just yet..

Robin turned towards Castie as she huffed, obviously hurt by something.

"Oh, what's wrong? Do you want another plushie?" Robin asked, completely oblivious.

[Alter Ego]

"Shuu-pppet!" Shuppet hissed back at Marionette, creating a ball of spectral energy of a size easily matching the one the Banette had made and holding it up in a treathening manner.

Castie briefly pondered the proposition. But on the other hand; she wasn't all that greedy as pokémon went. Besides, there was something special about it if there was only one.

"Cast-form." she replied, shaking her head and smiling again "Form-caa-cast-form."

"Castie just wanted to thank you for the first plushie." Oliver translated in a routine-like manner "She says you're a really nice person."

[Random Plushie]

Robin seemed touched by the compliment.

"Wow, thank you. And you are a very nice Pokemon for saying that." Robin replied, smiling.

Marionette grinned, holding out the Shadow Ball, while still more dark energy gathered around her. In an instant, two Shadow Balls, one held in each hand, were formed and under Marionette's control. Grinning to herself, all she had to do was make sure that Shuppet did exactly what she anticipated him to do.

[Alter Ego]

Castie's smile widened at the compliment, a blush creeping up the weather pokémon's cheeks as a testament to her strongly modest nature and the sunshine intensifying just a bit.

Cha-cha continued to stand about sheepsihly with the plushie in his arms, throwing murderous looks at all people whom he suspected of finding his predicament amusing.

Shuppet glared at Marionette as the second Shadow Ball materialized, that woman was obviously up to something. The closest thing to a grin suddenly appeared on the ghost pokémon's face as he remembered a certain move that would come in handy. Closing his eyes, Shuppet brought forth a cage of psychic energy around Marionette, promptly sealing of both of her Shadow Balls from use.

[Random Plushie]

OOC: Uh.. Imprison? XD *just making sure*

[Alter Ego]

OOC: Umm...duh. XP PH33R Imprison.

[Random Plushie]

OOC: You are baaaaaaaad. XD

IC:

Marionette's grin faded as she realized what had happened. She calmly threw the useless Shadow Balls away, now resorting to Plan B. Twirling around in the air for a bit, she paused for the sake of drama, putting a hand to her zipper mouth. In an instant, she had blown what appeared to be a visible heart towards Shuppet.

OOC: Ph33r Attract! XP

BIC:

As for Fishy, only now did he notice the sheer embarassment that was waiting to happen to poor ol' Cha-Cha.

"Swampert swamp?" Fishy asked, holding out one paw, appearing to ask if the Charizard wanted him to hold it for a while.

[Alter Ego]

Gah...no...not the heart...she-devil.... Shuppet squirmed, attempting to shake of this new rush of feelings towards Marionette without success.
"Shup-uuup-pet..." he hissed, the sentence was obviously meant to go along the lines of 'I hate you' but the word 'hate' had somehow turned into 'love', his eyes however, told exactly how he really felt about the matter.

Cha-cha listened to Fishy's offer but then shook his head, throwing a nervous glance at Castie "Cha..." he explained "Chari-zaard-zard-chari." Apparently he was a bit too concerned with his own health to entrust this mission to anyone else, especially considering that the Svampert had already tripped earlier. The whole message was delivered in a non-offensive tone however.

[Random Plushie]

Fishy shrugged, turning away from the Charizard and facing forward, once again swinging his legs back and forth.

Marionette grinned, now it would be difficult for Shuppet to actually attack. Glowing once again in a Psychic aura, Marionette grinned again before sending a blast of Psychic power towards Shuppet.

[Alter Ego]

Must...concentrate... Shuppet thought, gritting his teeth as the blast of psychic struck him. There was only one move powerful enough to grant him victory now. It was risky, but also his only chance.

Bracing himself and gathering his willpower, the Shuppet began glowing eerily, a spectral pin appearing out of thin air and pricking him, causing spectral energy to seep out from the wound and circle in on Marionette. This was going to hurt...

[Random Plushie]

OOC: Okay.. wth is that.. XD Curse?

[Alter Ego]

OOC: Well, what other move involves the pokémon pricking itself with a pin? ^_^

[Random Plushie]

OOC: I didn't see no pin on my GBA, man! XD

IC:

Marionette shrunk back in pain as the attack struck, ripping HP away from her as the battle waged. One last move.. And hopefully that would be enough.. Marionette braced herself for another round of the Curse as she built up another Psychic, sending another attack to Shuppet. Hopefully she had concentrated enough power into it..

OOC: *eats short post*

[Alter Ego]

OOC: Well, I'm pretty sure there is one in 3rd gen. And utterly convinced about there being one in 2nd so. XP

IC:

Shuppet grinned manically as he struggled against the pain from the wounds he had already recieved as well as his unnatural feelings towards the Banette. He attempted to put up a protect but failed to muster the sufficient will, shutting his eyes as the pain from the psychic attack kicked in. That's it... he thought for himself I'm...still conscious?

Slowly, the ghost pokémon opened his eyes. Every movement hurt but he was still mostly conscious, the small band tied around the top of his head glowing brightly.

OOC: PH33R Focus Band. ^_^

[Random Plushie]

OOC: Ohmehgee, you totally stole my item! >O

IC:

Marionette cringed with pain as she sunk lower to the ground, the Curse doing it's damage painfully. She struggled to stay up, but it would do no good on a sliver of HP. She had to hover merely centimeters from the ground in order to prevent unnecessary strain on her body, which was now severely weakened.

Both Ghosts were down to the critical HP zone, but, Marionette probably wouldn't be able to muster a full-blown Psychic.. She tried anyway, grimacing as she glowed again, weakly performing Psychic. As long as the attack actually hit, she would be happy..

[Alter Ego]

OOC: So sue me. XP

IC:

Shuppet mustered up the last of his strength, pushing aside any emotions he had. If I'm going down, then you're coming with me... he thought, glaring at his opponent before descending into a trance-like state and mumbling obscure and alien words, a strange glow enveloping the both of them as the Destiny Bond was put into place.

[Random Plushie]

OOC: *sigh* Fine.. *sues*

IC:

Marionette's eyes widened at the sight, Shuppet's glare being the last thing she saw before the Destiny Bond was placed.

As the Psychic obviously struck, Marionette cried weakly in pain, the Bond depleting whatever HP she had managed to survive on. The Ghost grimaced, trying desperately to stay afloat in the air, but failed miserably, falling straight to the ground, KO'ed.

[Alter Ego]

As Shuppet felt the last of his energy fading, a last, manical grin spread across his face just before the world became black around him.

"Whoa!" Oliver rushed forward as both ghost pokémon collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. "Come back, Shuppet." he pulled out his oldest pokéball and pointed it at the ghost pokémon which soon dissapeared in a flash of crimson light.

"He must have pulled a Destiny Bond." the boy said, inspecting Marionette's equally unconscious body. "They're both out cold."

[Random Plushie]

"What!?" Robin exclaimed, instantly rushing over to Oliver's side.

"Oh, return, poor thing.." Robin whispered, grabbing the Ghost's Pokeball and returning her to it in a flash equally as crimson red. She shook her head, sighing at the fact that Marionette had actually battled Shuppet instead playing teleport tag or something more sensible.

"C'mon, let's get to the Pokemon Center. Fishy and Cha-Cha can wait here, right?" Robin asked, throwing a glance at the innocent-looking Swampert.

[Alter Ego]

Oliver shook his head. "I think I know a better way." he said gesturing the Charizard to come over, which it did, still cradling the Meowth plushie.

"I'll take care of that." Oliver said, relieving the fire pokémon of his burden and placing it into an empty compartment of his backpack for safe keeping. He would have laughed at the sight had the situation not been so serious. "Now Cha-cha. We need to get to the pokémon center ASAP."

The Charizard nodded, lowering himself to allow the both of them to mount. Oliver quickly swung his leg over Cha-cha's back, assuming a position between the pokémon's magnificent wings and leaving a spot below for Robin. "Come on!" he called as Castie took up floating beside him, "No time to waste!"

[Random Plushie]

Robin nearly fainted, remembering the death plunge. However she decided not to and saved whatever remained of her pride.

"Fishy, return!" Fishy was obviously upset over going in his Pokeball, but chose not to complain.

"Uh, wait a minute.. The plushies.. Someone will steal them.. But Marionette.." Robin edged towards Cha-Cha, then glanced back at the plushie pile.

[Alter Ego]

OOC: Got to go practice piano now.

IC:

Cha-cha sighed in forfeit, noticing the expression that formed on Castie's face, and scooped up the veritable mountain of plushies into his muscular arms, doing his best not to squish any of them.

"Problem solved." Oliver said, working hard to surpress his urge to laugh at Cha-cha's predicament "Now let's go."

[Random Plushie]

OOC: XD

IC:

Robin grinned broadly, eagerly hopping onto Cha-Cha's back. She found the situation quite funny, but she didn't want to laugh at the poor Charizard.

"Okay, now we be ready to go!" Robin chirped, clinging to Cha-Cha's back tightly.

[Neko64]

"Hmm...A counter attack eh?" Kelly turned to Yume. "Use your agility too Yume!!" She called out. Yume sped up and did circles around the metagross. Yume was smaller there for she was faster. "Now Yume!!" Kelly shouted out to him. Just as she said that, Yume plunged foward towards the metagross and combined her speed with a faint attack, making herself invisible and jumped up high. As she was high up, Yume created to shadow balls on her front paws and then came skydiving donw with incredible speed. The metagross was currently looking for the Umbreon on land. He didn't know where he had gone. Yume crashing down as her front paws with the shadow balls on it made contact with the top of the metagross's head. 'Yes a critical hit..' Kelly thought as she saw Yume jump off from the metagross and landed a few feet behind him..

[Alter Ego]

Oliver couldn't help grinning just a bit. Robin was obviously not quite as unbothered by Cha-cha's way of flying as she would have had him believe, but the boy decided not to point it out. There was nothing to be gained from hurting her pride.

"Up, up, and away!" Oliver called, nudging the Charizard who, despite its considerable encumbrance, rose to the air, circling over the frontier for a while before spotting the red roof of the pokémon center and diving towards it, laying down his passengers in a matter of seconds. The scene didn't go unnoticed by Grace who instantly ceased her flying practice and followed.

[Random Plushie]

Robin found that she could deal with riding Cha-Cha a bit more than the first time, something quite obvious but true. As they landed and disembarked, Robin energetically jumped off in a single leap, bounding off towards the Pokemon Center first.

"C'mon! Not a second to waste!" Robin exclaimed, charging forward.

[Alter Ego]

"Hey!" Oliver called, disembarking and running after the girl "That's my line! Take care of the plushies Cha-cha!" he added to the Charizard who gave a disgruntled snort and obeyed, Castie staying by and keeping watch over him.

"Good day!" the nurse called out as the two crashed in "Welcome to our pokémon center, would you like us to heal your pokémon?"

"As a matter of fact..." Oliver replied, pulling out Shuppet's pokéball and placing it on the counter "That is exactly what we'd like you to do.".

[Random Plushie]

"Yes, please." Robin added directly after Oliver had placed Shuppet's ball on the desk. In an instant, she had unclipped Marionette's ball, placing it right next to Shuppet's ball.

"Got into a bit of a tussle." Robin added, smiling weakly.

[Alter Ego]

The nurse gave them a knowing smile as she picked up both pokéballs. "Very well." she replied "We will restore your pokémon to perfect health. Please give us a moment."
With that, she walked into the back room to do whatever it was they did to wounded pokémon in pokémon centers. Ahh, the recklessness of youth... she thought for herself, smiling wistfully at the memories of her own trainer's career.

"Nothing to do but wait then, I guess." Oliver said, watching the nurse depart.

[Random Plushie]

"Yeah.." Robin replied, watching the nurse leave the room until she was staring at the closed door of the back room.

"What do you think the battle was like?" Robin asked, concluding that Oliver's Shuppet must be a lot tougher than it looked, considering it took down her Banette. Marionette was mostly just an annoyer when you looked at Robin's whole party, but still..

[Alter Ego]

"Probably a whole lot of trickery on both sides." Oliver replied thoughtfully "Seeing as how they are both of the same evolutionary line, Shuppet would have used Imprison to give him an edge. Beyond that, his father was a Misdreavus as I recall so he would probably have used the Pain Split technique as well, maybe a Curse too. He can be pretty vicious when he's not supervised." the boy took a short pause. "This is all just speculation of course." he added.

[Random Plushie]

"I see." Robin commented, remembering just how nasty those attacks could be.

Before she could further her thoughts, Nurse Joy returned from the back room, both Pokeballs in hand.

"Thank you for waiting. Your Pokemon have been fully restored. Come again!" Nurse Joy beamed, overly enthusiastic. She handed each Pokeball to their respective owners, casting both of the Trainers warm smiles.

"Thanks." Robin said, taking Marionette's ball back from the nurse, clipping it to her belt.

[Alter Ego]

"Yes, thank you." Cid concured, taking Shuppet's pokéball back. "Now let's go relieve poor Cha-cha of his worries, shall we?" he asked, unable to restrain a grin as he looked at the Charizard who was standing in stiff guard by the plushies just outside the door with Castie keeping a watchful eye on him at all times.

[Random Plushie]

"Of course." Robin said, also grinning at the sight. She reached for Fishy's Pokeball, releasing the Swampert from within an instant later.

"Fishy, do you want to carry the plushies again?" Robin asked, smiling at her beloved Pokemon.

Fishy gave a grin and nod, eagerly rushing out of the glass doors, which barely had the time to slide out of his way. Robin followed, just not as hyper.

OOC: Small note.. Kippy was her first and is the most powerful, Fishy's just too dang lovable. XD

[Alter Ego]

OOC: Sure is. ^_^

IC:

Cha-cha was visibly relieved when Fishy took over the burden of watching over Mt.Plushmore. With a happy roar, the Charizard soared up into the skies, performing a few loops in the air out of sheer enjoyment while Castie's stern glance now shifted to Fishy.

Oliver smiled at the way Robin and the Svampert spoke with each other, there was just something very familiar about it. "You really are close with Fishy, aren't you?" the boy asked as they stepped out into the square again, Grace settling on his shoulder.

[Random Plushie]

OOC: Fishy's lovable-ness pwnz.

IC:

Fishy happily leaped into the pile of plushies, huddling in the sheer warmth for a bit before beginning to pick them up, one by one, until he was once again holding all the plushies. All the while, he completely ignored Castie's stern glare. Frankly, he was in his own little world.

"Yes. I love all my Pokemon very much." Robin replied to Oliver's question. "And you do, too?" Robin asked, turning away from watching her Swampert to give the boy her full attention.

[Alter Ego]

"Of course I do." Oliver replied, smiling at his assembled pokémon and stroking Grace's head. "They are the only real friends I've had ever since-" he took a pause "Well, since my family had to move to Verdanturf for...circumstances beyond my control." he concluded, a distinct shadow of sorrow flashing across his face for a moment.

[Random Plushie]

"Where did you live before? Do you like Verdanturf better?" Robin asked, failing to notice the sorrow flash through Oliver's expression. Robin smiled. If she had lived somewhere else, then moved to Verdanturf, she was sure that she would've liked it better. She was asking just in case.

[Alter Ego]

"Slateport." Oliver replied, his expression darkening once more at the memory "It was a great city, so large and diverse in people that even I could fit in there. I had actual friends...until." he sighed and then shrugged, "What does it matter? To answer your second question, I'm afraid I didn't particularly enjoy my stay in Verdanturf. Sure the environment is nice, but the people all looked at me strangely because of my hair, like I was some kind of alien or something. Besides, auntie Ophala was always keeping me working...and nothing was really the same in our family. Not without..." he trailed of mid-sentence, Grace pressing herself closer to him and letting out a low, comforting sound.

[Random Plushie]

Robin felt danger in pressing for more information. She took a different route, trying to lighten the boy's spirits.

"Your aunty made you work? For what? Who the heck DOES that?" Robin asked, trying to imagine her own aunty making her work, but to no avail. She couldn't see any of her relations forcing her to work.

[Alter Ego]

Oliver looked up, his expression lightening just a bit "You've never met Ophala, then?" he asked rethorically "She is a real old-school biddy, thinks that today's youths are spoiled and lazy. Apparently digging up trenches of little or no use 'builds character' and keeps me 'out of mischief'." he shrugged "But I can't complain too much, I suppose. After all, it was partly because of her that I met Shuppet."

[Random Plushie]

"..Trenches?" Robin asked, tilting her head. Every few days or so, back a few years, she would walk to those many trenches, wanting to explore them, or play a kind of role-playing games with a few friends. One day, she had been alone, and had seen the white-haired boy, but she did not bother confronting him and asking why he was there.

Apparently, he was there everyday, but for some odd reason, she had seen him only once.

"I used to play over at those trenches.. You lived with your aunty in that house?" Robin asked.

OOC: Didn't know what else to post.. XD

[Alter Ego]

"Yeah, I did actually." Oliver replied "But you said, you played in the trenches?" his expression darkened a bit "Ophala kept complaining that they were being ravaged by rogue Digletts and kept making me reinforce them, but it was you then. Thanks a bunch." his face bore an expression of half-hearted dissaproval.

[Random Plushie]

"Ravaged? What do you mean by ravaged? I liked to walk all over them, sure, but not to the point where I messed 'em all up." Robin replied, blinking. Great, now he was turning against her. Her first friend from the Battle Frontier. Yeah, life was fair.

[Alter Ego]

"Oh I didn't mean it like that." Oliver hastily corrected himself "Maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions, could have been anyone else from the village, right?" he took a pause "But like I said, it was how I met Shuppet so I'm not bitter about it anyway."

Grace stretched her wings a bit, taking a short flight in the air before returning to Oliver, this time perching on his other shoulder.

[Random Plushie]

"Okay!" Robin grinned broadly, happy that she had not seriously upset him.

"So anyways.. wanna make a challenge somewhere? It'll be great for passing time." Robin commented. "All I have to do is store all these plushies in my PC somehow and we'll be all good."

Robin turned back towards Fishy, who was still obediantly holding the plushies near Cha-Cha and Castie.

[Alter Ego]

Oliver smiled as he pondered the question for a while. "Alright, how about the Battle Tower?" he suggested, gesturing Cha-cha to come over "Maybe it would make it easier for Shuckle to get used to the frontier if he had some back-up." he absent-mindedly twirled the Safari Ball in his right hand "Come to think of it, I haven't even given him a proper name yet. Any ideas?"

[Random Plushie]

"Do you mean back-up as in you'll let me enter a Double Battle with ya?" Robin asked, her eyes lighting up. She hadn't been in a Double Battle with another Trainer in ages.

"Oh, and a nickname? Well, what kind of nature does he have?" Robin asked as she remembered his last question.

[Alter Ego]

"That was exactly what I thought." Oliver replied with a smile, "As for his nature, well...maybe it's better if you see for yourself. Go Shuckle!"

He unleashed the Safari Ball from his hand allowing it to strike the ground and release its occupant in a flash of white light.

"Shuckle?" the creature asked, peering bravely at the trainers with obvious curiosity.

OOC: A little hint; Bravely ^_^

[Random Plushie]

OOC: Like, Plushie can take a hint. Do not worry. ^_~

IC:

Robin peered silently at the cute little Shuckle for a few minutes, tilting her head every now and then. Eventually, she spoke.

"I now proclaim you to be Buckle." Robin stated, beaming.

[Alter Ego]

"Shuckle?" the rock pokémon echoed, tilting his head before a smile spread across his face.

"Alright then." Oliver said, smiling as he noticed that the Shuckle was pleased with its new name "Ready to rule the Battle Tower, Buckle?"

"Shuck!" the Shuckle replied with a broad grin.

"Let's go then." Cid picked the rock pokémon into his arms, and gestured Cha-cha to come over once more and assumed his usual spot between the Charizard's wings. "To the Battle Tower!"

[Random Plushie]

"Ahem, plushies.." Robin stated. "Hold on one second, Olie. Fishy! Come on, we have to go to the PC and store those plushies!" Robin exclaimed.

Fishy, who had now become bored with standing and holding plushies, eagerly obeyed, following Robin into the Pokemon Center energetically. Once the two had made it inside and had their turn at the PC, it took a while to upload the plushies, every single one of them, into data to be stored.

Eventually, the process was complete, and every plushie was safely inside the PC.

"Dang.. That took a while. Now, to Cha-Cha!" Robin said, charging out the door, Fishy on her trail.

[Jeudi]

Ida woke, the sounds of the usual battles around the road seemed to come to her ears. Had she been half asleep? Maybe, but this time she knew it was real and woke, feeling her Typhlosion's soft body full of warm fire. "Do these trainers know when to stop and relax? I guess a woman like me is the only one who never went to pokemon for the battles." She laughed slightly, pulling her Typhlosion to her lap. "I guess I'll watch them have their fun."

[Alter Ego]

"Oh yeah..." Oliver replied, scratching his head as Robin dissapeared into the pokémon center "I forgot about that...maybe I should go store Castie's one as well." he made a quick trip to the pokémon center after Robin, storing, despite Castie's objections, the Meowth plushie with the aid of another computer which had been temporarily relocated there before heading back out and remounting Cha-cha.

"Oh, and come back Castie." the boy said, withdrawing the weather pokémon before she would cause a deluge with her present moodiness.

[Neko64]

OOC: Sorry if this is spam but Alter, can you kinda tone it down a bit? I don't really feel like reading 50+ pages of two people if you know what I mean..>___>

[Random Plushie]

OOC: But.. erm.. What else are we supposed to do, you know? XD

[Jeudi]

OOC: Talk to other people maybe?

[Random Plushie]

OOC: I guess I'll just lurk at Alphimega Quest, then. XD *goes away, wh00t*

[Neko64]

OOC: Thats...not really an excuse XD

I'm sure you wouldn't feel like reading through 50+ pages of two people rping just so you know whats going on. Try posting in other threads too lol

EDIT: D*mn you Kristen for beating me!!11 lmao

[Alter Ego]

OOC: I must protest, I do write in other threads. But fine, I'll try to slow down a bit for the convenience of you slowpokes. XP j/k

But it would be a bit awkward from an RP perspective to just suddenly write something like;

"Hey, wait a Minute." Oliver said to Robin, suddenly stopping "Sorry baby, but I think we should...see other people." with that, he promptly ignored the girl and walked over to <insertrandomcharacternamehere>

[Jeudi]

OOC: I'm not a slowpoke : (.

[Neko64]

OOC: *twitch* I am not a slowpoke >.> I f you want me to do this then next time I will ok?!!!!!! God and to think I just woke up to this..>___> And don't you dare call my friends slowpokes >( *goes off to kill*

[Jeudi]

OOC: *pats* Then we should get Rping again.

[Random Plushie]

OOC: *comes back XD* Yesh.. we actually do post in other threads. A lot. We just post too much for our own good, eh? o.o;;

[Alter Ego]

OOC:
OOC: *twitch* I am not a slowpoke >.> I f you want me to do this then next time I will ok?!!!!!! God and to think I just woke up to this..>___> And don't you dare call my friends slowpokes >( *goes off to kill*

That's a strange attitude from someone who doesn't care about others opinions herself. Sheez...no need to be so stick-in-the-muddy about it. What goes around comes around you know...

[Neko64]

OOC: I should be saying that to you. Oh, and for your information this is OOC not IC. Do you know how to read? XD

[Random Plushie]

OOC: Yes, I very much do know how to read. =D Let's not start anything.. We should get back to RPing.. except for me and Alter.. because you have requested us to 'tone it down'..

[Neko64]

OOC: sorry I was talking to alter. I'm quitting this rp *tells Uzumaki* have fun by yourselves :/ don't feel like arguing now either

[Jeudi]

OOC: Alter and yourself could keep Rping if you wanted...

[Neko64]

OOC: ^I think shes gonna quit too^ lol

[Alter Ego]

OOC:
And all this started from being an over-active poster. :( *Sigh* Fine, suppose I can't blame you for quitting, but maybe you should kind of RP yourself so that Uzumaki won't have trouble with it. But since you told him I'm sure you have that worked out already.

[Random Plushie]

OOC: 'Scuse meh, but didn't LishaKara start this RP? *is confuzzled* XD

[Alter Ego]

OOC: But she's locked into an RP battle with Uzumaki you see. So it would be he who would get the trouble, no?

[Random Plushie]

OOC: Ah yes, I see the light now. XD

[Jeudi]

OOC: Quit? Why would I...quit?

[Alter Ego]

OOC: That I also wonder ( :confused: ), it was K&S who hinted at that for some reason. Meh, at any rate it is also she whose battle with Uzumaki we are discussing here so you are not by any means expected to leave.

[Uzumaki_Naruto]

OOC:Wait. You guys are seriously confusing me here. I am in trouble? W-what did I do?????????

[Random Plushie]

OOC: You are not in trouble yourself, it is because K&S decided to leave that you might have a hard time continuing, since you were in an RP battle with her. :/

So don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong.

[Neko64]

OOC: Well thats to bad guys. He pmed me and decided to quit too XD X3

Have fun by yourselves~

[Jeudi]

ooc: Do you guys want to continue?

[LishaKara]

OOC: HOLY CRAP. I've been gone for just one weekend and . . . 6 pages. *whistles* I got left in the dust. O__o''' At least they were mostly battle posts. But I hope ya got your RPing adrenaline out, because I'm hoping that this will settle back into a more-than-two person RP . . . -_-''' But go ahead and keep going, if ya want to.

IC: Bianca sat down. Hours of walking around and watching battles had simply worn her out. She had ridden on her Aggron enough to wear it out too, and frankly he just wanted to rest too.

"Well, there were quite a few heated matches, weren't there?"

[Jeudi]

Ida still didn't like the noise of battles, but what could she do about them? She had won about ten of the matches that she had been challenged to be other people all ready, and they were just passerbys. She walked around slightly, looking at Bianca, seeing she had ran into her again. "Well, it looks like you had your share of battles Ms. Bianca." She plopped down slightly. "Battling is quite fruitless with no goal, I keep wondering if I really should be trying to be famous."

[LishaKara]

"Well, there's a real reason for me," Said Bianca. "If you don't mind me talking about it."

OOC: Sorry for the short post, I'm at school and a bunch of *ahem* people are rushing me. >_<'''

[Jeudi]

OOC: *pats* it's okay, that happens where I go to school as well.

"Well, I'm all ears." Ida laughed slightly as she placed a hand on her Typhlosion, which was becoming annoyed at all the battle noises. "It would help my Typhlosion calm down as well."

[LishaKara]

OOC: Haha, thanks for understanding :)

IC:

"Well," Started Bianca hesitantly, "The reason I'm looking for fame is not really for fame, but identity."
She stopped and sighed, looked at Ida and started again.
"You see, when I was very little, only 11 in fact, my 'family' found me in an alley, knocked out. . . I had a bad case of amnesia, and I've never really known who I was, so that's why I'm trying to spread the word. In case I forget again, so someone can remind me."
Bianca looked up at Ida quizzically.
"Do you believe that, Ida?"

[Jeudi]

Her head swayed slightly, but she smiled. "I believe you, to tell the truth...I don't believe in complete fame. You may have strong reasons, but mine are for the reason I don't understand. I don't really have a direction in life anymore, and I'm taking as much time as I can to find one. I believe this fame may help me."

[LishaKara]

<Finally, another person who can understand my situation. Thank goodness. . .>
"Well, I think that's just as strong a reason," Bianca said after a minute.
"If it's beneficial fame you want, go for it."

OOC: In case of confusion, when I bracket something like this, < > it means the character is thinking. I didn't know if you'd be able to tell or not, so sorry if you already knew. ^_^

[Jeudi]

"It may not be beneficial...I just want something to hold onto. It's hard to believe how lost I am even with the ideals of fame." Ida chuckled, holding her hand to her mouth, it had been the first time someone had made her think posotive. She composed herself in seconds, leaning against her typhlosion. "I don't know...it's stupid to say things like that, I suppose."

[LishaKara]

"No, Ida, it's not stupid. Don't worry. You don't have to be so. . ." Bianca paused, searching for the right words. Continuing softly, she said, "So, ah, unsure, or apologetic. At least, not to me. I don't mind what you say."
She got up, stretched her arms out, and let out her pokemon.
"We all need a rest, don't you think?" Bianca mused perkily with a sudden change in mood. "Before we try our luck at fame." She chuckled softly.

OOC: *sigh* I wish the rest of the people hadn't left . . . It's not as fun when everyone quits on you. *hint to all people looking at this thread who haven't joined already* No offense, Jeudi. ;)

Pokemon: Blaziken, garydos, tropius and starmie.

[LishaKara]

OOC: Hmm, this is a hard one . . . *wink* OK, you're accepted. Start if you want.

[Twilight_Wolf]

I walk down a foot path minding my own business. Feeling bored I release my blaziken and let it have some fresh air. I look around and look at the seven big towers. I study the trainers around me and point out flaws in there pokemon to my self. Such as vitamin depletion and stuff. Not looking where I am going I bump into some one. I look forward and see a girl (Bianca). I utter a single word, “move.”

[Jeudi]

"You can move around her." A soft voice reached the boy, one that belonged to a woman who seemed rather stern for her own good. Her eyes looked rather unknown to what she was saying though, so he probably couldn't tell she was half asleep already.
OOC: No offense taken.

[Twilight_Wolf]

ooc: bianca and raoul are brother and sister,they are orphans and they dont know they are related. liashakara and i have talked about this.

ic: I turn my eyes toward the female and study her. "maybe I dont want to. what are you going to do about that? I'm a six time league champion for your information. i'm been through the Kanto, Johto and Hoenn leagues twice each." i reach inside my back pack and take a small case out. i open it up and in side are three sets of badges.

[Jeudi]

"I...managed it twelve times before I stopped..." Her body looked half asleep, almost as if this was a part of her that only showed when she hid it conciously. "I don't think I'm in a condition to show you my badges though."

[LishaKara]

"I've only been through Kanto and Johto once each," Said Bianca. "But I've been through this leage 10 times. Nice, huh?"

OOC: Sorry for short post, school. GTG bye

[Twilight_Wolf]

raouls scowls and looks at the girl. " i went through eah twenty times to train my pokemon and i only beat the champions twice each. my pokemon are not to be messed with.now get out of my way." i step forward and push bianca slightly.

[Jeudi]

"Then move around her.." Her voice was softly cooing, signifying sleep would soon overcome her. "It would be more...polite." Sleep took over her figure, and it looked like the pokemon in front of Ida would more than gladly hurt Raoul if he tried to do any different.

[Twilight_Wolf]

my blaziken steps forward and lights its wrists at the pokemon. i look at bianca and decide to walk around. "fine. come on blaziken." i walk around the group then stop and look at bianca. "hey dont i know you from some where? i swear i have seen you before some where."

[LishaKara]

"Huh? No . . . I've never, ever seen you." Bianca frowns and burrows her brows. Perhaps this was someone from her past? Nah, that couldn't be.
"I can swear that I've never seen you before." She turned to the sleeping Ida as if in question, as if to say, <Do I know him?>

OOC: So as to save time, I'm going to apologize for all my short posts from here on- it'll be because of school. XP

[Jeudi]

Ida's sleeping body offered nothing, as if to say that her nody was not going to wake. Her Typhlosion nodded slightly, to say that it was done with its rant.

[Twilight_Wolf]

i look at bianca and then at the group. "do you mind if i join your little group here? your names bianca right?" i walk over to a bench and release my pokemon. i put down a bowl of pokefood and each one takes some. some dissapear in a urple flash.

[Jeudi]

Ida's body moved slightly, her typhlosion reacting by patting the trainer on the head with it's coolest paw. Her face turned into a smile, making the Typhlosion lean against her and comfort her in her sleep.

[Twilight_Wolf]

sorry. i quit this roleplay. nothings happening.
