"Oh, okay. I'm sorry if I was just paying too much attention to it, it's just kind of hard not to.."

He laughed nervously, looing down at Growlithe and nudging the little dog with his foot and whispering "Introduce yourself!" to it, in a sort of hushed yell, which I know sounds like a weird description.

"Grow Growlithe! {My name's Growlithe, for now anyway. I hope my trainer gives me a name, though I don't think that I'm going to get one...}"

"I guess it would be nervous. Growlithe, on sight, I guess, can look very scary to a small Pokemon, thought as long as I've been with Growlithe, a couple minutes at most, he's been very friendly..to me, anyway.."

He smiled again and then looked down, letting his eyes travel in between Growlithe and Kitsuni. Growlithe was trying to beas nice as he could be, but he was a dog Pokemon, so it was his nature to be a LITTLE scary-looking.
 
Kitsun yipped with a bright smile on his face at the Growlithe, [HI! My name is now Kitsuni!]

Shiko laughed at the two pokémon, before turning back to Toren, "Does your Growlithe have a nickname? It is said that a nickname helps develope a large bond between the pokémon and its trainer."

He felt his tail twitch a little bit, his mind began racing, "Gah! I hope he didn't see that!"

[OOC: Yes, very small post. :( but I didn't really have much going through my mind to describe, so, heh.]
 
I chased after the liitle poochyena, now sensing it was toying with me, but it was fun, he caught up to the little pokemon scooping her up into his arms.
"why hello there little one, nice of you to join me" i laugh to myself, and then look around hoping no one saw us, then i realised we were in town and a few people where staring he said coldy
"what are you all looking at?" giving the closest person his darkest stare
soon eveyone grew a little scarwed or weary he couldn't tell whice and got away as soon as possible. Placing dark-tooth on the ground he began to walk, the liitle pokemon not scared nips at his heels from time to time
"you know poochyena you still don't know your nickname, you're called Dark-Tooth is that ok?"
Rai asked the pokemon, all it did was nod, and they were both happy though they didn't show it
Though he was trying to be careful he bumped into someone and hear the clack of chains...
 
Jen had been playing around with Cinna, laughing and running, and playing games. Down the road they went Playing pointless games and such. Jen and Cinna were now panting and sweaty, "You see, this is why I hate gym. My motto for it is, 'All you do is run around in circles, shoot balls into a hoop, and all you gain is sweat!'" Jen closed her eyes and panted. She heard her Eevee calling. "Eevee! Ee!" WHich probably meant something like "Hey! Look! Another Eevee-- and growlithe! Let's go see what's up!" Or it could have possible been... "Can I have another Eevasnack?" It's hard to tell them apart.
Whatever it was, Jen saw the pokemon, too, and their trainers. She recognized the trainer with the growlithe from when she had gotten Cinna, not to long ago. She didn't know someone else had requested an Eevee from the professor....

Jen dragged herself over to the two pokemon trainers. "...Hi, ... My... name is... Jen." Jen looked up at the two trainers, and got sorta freaked out with Shiko Aginawa, Even though he looked friendly enough.
 
[OOC:Kirky, I'll just kinda asume that the clack of chains comment was meaning that you bumped into me.]

Shiko jumped a little from someone bumping into him. He turned around and looked at this person with a smile, "Hi there. What's your name?"

He looked the boy up and down, "You certainly have a kind appearance. My name is Shiko Aginawa." His eyes traveled to the Poocheyena, "Oh! It's so cute!!"

Hearing another person's voice, he looked up toward Jen, "Well, hi. I seem to be meeting a whole bunch of people today. That makes me happy. Hee hee! Nice to meet you, Jen. As you might have just heard me tell this person, my name is Shiko Aginawa. And this is my Eevee, Kitsuni!"

His gaze traveled to Jen's Eevee, "Oh! Neat. Another Eevee trainer. Heheh."
 
Toren first looked at the boy who had bumped into Shiko, and stared curiously at him for a moment before tilting his head because he heard someone approaching from behind him. He then turned fully around, and kicked Growlithe lightly to sinal for him to turn around as well.

Toren looked up and down at the girl, running through his memory to find where he had seen her before. Finally, it hit him. Like with Shiko, he remembered the girl from back at the Lab, he believed that she had also picked an Eevee, like Shiko, and he noticed that he had been correct because he saw an Eevee following closely beside her.

"Hey...Oh yes, I recognize you from the lab. i see that you picked an Eevee, what a rare Pokemon. It's nice to meet you.."

He said, giving off a faint smile and extending his hand out towards her, shrugging a little bit and trying to remain relatively calm.

Growlithe, growling slightly at Toren, turned around and stared curiously into the eyes of Cinna, the Eevee that stood before him in other words. He barked a little bit to see of she would flinch, but then started to laugh a bit to signal that he was just kidding and then barked out something.

"Growlithe, Grow! {Hmm, who are you? I'm Growlithe, Toren here hasn't given me a name yet...}"
 
"i am Rai'Andure Kaine, but yeah call me Rai" He exclaimed
then looking down to poochyenda and looking back
"And this is Dark-tooth, she tahnks you for your comment on her being cute* i say a little slyly, then i see someone else take Shiko's attention, so while he wans't looking at him Rai trired to slip away, he liked these people but they would never accept him...
 
Riddel's disgusted expression was well shown as she stared into the happy faces of the trainers who'd gotten their own pokemon. How...unnatural. Like there was no care in the world. She looked down at her Ariados, which also seemed uneffected by the scene, or, by the clamor of people who seemed to be having the time of their lives.

"People." Riddel said simply shaking her head.

<'Humans.'> Ariados corrected her <'But I'd like a nickname if that's alright with you.'>

Riddel sighed and said "Maybe later. Let's get somewhere first. Maybe I'll nickname you after our first battle agreed?" She asked resting a hand on one of Ariados's yellow and elongated legs, which bent over underneath it.

<'Sure thing.'> Ariados said turning around so Riddel could climb aboard.

Sitting down on Ariados's abdomen, the trip to Viridian would be much shorter this way "Hey, let's stop by the pokemart first thing when we get to Viridian deal?"

<'What about the pokemon center?'> Ariados asked.

"Stop complicating things." Riddel replied "We'll go there afterwards."

OOC: Short yes, but I'm dying to ask this question. When will the sky 'flash red'?

Edit---wrong RP.

Shiko turned around, toward Rai, "Aw. Are you leaving already? We just met 'n all. You don't want to meet these other two?"

He grasped the boy's wrist in a friendly way and tugs him over.

"Or are we bad people to you?" One of his fox ears drooped, but he quickly moved it back to its straight position so as to try and cover that secret.

His mind, once again, began racing, "OH crap! I almost blew the secret again. Jeeze! I gotta be more careful!!"

Kitsuni squeaked. Shiko bent down to pick him up and carry him in his arms, scratching behind one of his large ears.
 
Cinna blinked and then gave out a little shriek in delight! "Eevee Ee! Eevee eevee!" WHich probably meant something like, "Hey! A new friend! Sweet! I'm Cinna." Jen smiled weakly. She looked over at Toren. "Not that rare, but it is rare for it to be a female." SHe smiled weakly again, and Looked over at Shiko. "Like the look..." She then shook his hand softly and, yet again, smiled weakly. It was basically part of her greeting someone.

She looked down at her pokemon, interested in Growlithe. "Nice Growlithe..." She said slowly and softly. As I said, she isn't exactly a social butterfly.
Cinna and Growlithe ran around Jen and Toren. What a day. First, Jen had gotten her pokemon, and found out how playful it really was. Next, Cinna had met a Starmie at the park and a Growlithe on the street. Jen had just made two new friends, hopefully, and finally, all put together, Jen had finally started the beginning of an action-packed pokemon-filled adventure.
 
Riddel narrowed her right eye at the peculiar boy with...fox traits. She definetly didn't want to be seen in public with him, how her foster parents would scream if they saw her hanging out with a crazy inuyasha cosplayer, but her sharp eye, the one that caught every slight movement, was sure those weren't extremely fake...or at least the impression was so.

Riddel merely watched from the distance and maintained that distance. Those people...so blunt...so...'HI MY NAME IS BLAH, WHAT'S YOURS?!'. Did they ever hear the rule 'don't give your name to strangers?'

<'Why don't you go over there?'> Ariados asked, looking up and crawling around in a bored fashion.

"Because they're people. People are bad. And they can't be trusted...but it should be fun to try out a battle. You wanna try it out so you can get your nickname?" Riddel asked her giant spider.

<'I dunno, we're just beginnners....'> Ariados mumbled.

"And what makes them not beginners?" Riddel asked.

<'D*mn you're good...'> He replied as he crawled over to the group of people. He sensed his trainers growing disgust which each step of his six legs, her own two legs crossed over and under one another as she let her feet rest about 2 inches above the ground beside his head. Before getting into earshot of the pokemon and humans, Ariados shook his head and said <'Urgh. All those pokemon are so cute they make me wanna puke...and aren't you being blunt?'>

"Didn't you hear of the rule if I see ya you can't turn down my challenge?" Riddel asked as she rested her hand on one of the pokemon's moving legs "Besides, once we get to Viridian we can get you rested up and all that crap."

<'Ki dokie.'> Ariados mumbled as it stopped about 7 feet away from the gaggle of humans.

"Hey, any of you up for a test battle?" Riddel asked, a smirk unfurling along her pale face, long locks of indigo falling in her blank green eyes "To just try out our new pokemon and their attacks you know."

<'Oh yes, it doesn't get much more blunt then that.'> Ariados said sighing <'I'll never understand you crazy humans. And I'll never understand why you trap innocent pokemon in teeny weeny pokeballs where you force them to sleep on uncomfortable metal things, but that's a different issue.'>

Riddel sweatdropped. Man this pokemon sure knew how to talk!!!

OOC: It doesn't matter who battles me, I just want to try out a battling sequence in RPing. It'll kill the length of my posts, but it'll be fun!
 
His sense of danger started to prickle, and caused him to turn his head. He could not understand why this girl was looking so unfriendly at him, but he gave a weak smile of friendliness, nonetheless.

When this person came over, and offered a battle, he looked down at the Ariados crawling about the ground. Shiko leaned over to Toren and spoke.

"You should take her on. She has a bug-type. And your Growlithe is fire. It's a sure win." He giggled, slightly. He jumped once so as the wiggling of his tail appeared to be caused by this jumping.
 
OOC: Aaaarghh! Leave me in the dust why don't you...never mind, Jake's not the type to go fanatsysing with other people. Just to let everyone know from now on, all Pokèspeech shall be posted in "<>"s becaue it's useless just typing out a line of gibberish. We can all understand our own Pokèmon, but nobody elses, understood. Also, we all head over for Viridian, and when we're just about to step inside the city, the world flashes "blue" (yes Naoko, wrong RPG), and we pass out. Take your time, however.

IC:

Jake looked at the other people, all shook his head sadly. These people, so ignorant of what life really was. They thought that a Pokèmon journey was full of happiness and fun. Couldn't they see what they were heading in for? They would just kill themselves sooner or later if they kept up that attitude. Just look at them, wandering up to the other people, and introducing themselves

That girl with the Ariados was smart, though.

Jake plucked Cyndaquill's pokè-ball from his belt, and chucked the orb into the air. It snapped open, flooding the vicinity with a pallid light, before the light wore off, and Cyndaquill was left. It truly was a weak Pokèmon. So small, and so insignificant. It's eyes were screwed up aganist the sunlight, but then he saw Jake and screamed.

<AAAAHHH! Big Meanie!> he wailed, running away from Jake.

Jake looked sternly at the Cyndaquill as it hid behind a lampost, quivering with fear.

"You're scared of me?" Jake asked with a harsh laugh. "You're supposed to be strong, you little weakling!"

Jake didn't intend on being purposely harsh to the little. He wanted to show the Cyndaquill what true life was about. How it was not just fun and games, but actual pain and fear. h ethen turned over to the group of children there, and smiled.

"Are you ready to fight?"

<No, you meanie!> it squealed.

"How do you expect to get stronger, then?" Jake asked cynically.

With that, he scooped up the little Cyndaquill, and walked over to the other children there. He then turned to the girl with the Ariados.

"I'll battle you."

OOC: Yeah, I want to lose, so, yeah.
 
Rai watched all the commotion, but never said a word, rather just walked forward to watch the battle, he was interested in the trainers battling styles, while dark-tooth stayed with the other pokemon.
He didn't know wether the cyndaquil would win, or lose, but he wanted to see what kind of battle it put up against an ariados, so he stood patiently waiting and watching
 
Toren looked curiously at Jen for a moment, then shrugged his head and looked away, noticing that Shiko was leaning towards him and whispering something about him battling the girl who was just approaching.

"Battler her? I don't know..I mea, Ariados are very powerful Pokemon, and just a type advantage may not be enough to win.."

He frowned again, bending down towards the ground and whispering something into Growlithes ear. Shortly after having told him, he rose back up to his feet and looked curiously into his Pokemons eyes. He returned the look, and barked out a reply.


"<Sure! I know I'm not too experiencing at battling but I'd like to try one out...>"

Toren nodded and looked up at the girl, his eyes painted curiously as he noticed now the girl seemed to be so...independent(Yeah, that's a nice word XD). She seemed to be really keen on battling someone, and Toren still wasn't sure if he was up to it.

"Hey, I'll ba-...Never mind.."

He said, darting his eyes to the boy with a Cyndaquil in his arms who was now approaching the group. He looked very confident in himself, but the Cyndaquil in his arms looked very frightened of the bug Pokemon that it was about to battle with.
 
Riddel promptly ignored the friendly smile the fox-cosplayer gave her. Ah, that's what the orphanage children called, 'too-friendly-suck-ups'? Maybe. She'd only ever met one suck-up, and well, she hoped never to meet another person as unnaturally cheerful as she had been.

Riddel sighed and shook her head, indigo strands swaying along, although they quickly fell back into their place, draped across her eyes.

"I guess I'm battling you." She muttered to the boy who'd come along carrying a cyndaquil. Type advantage. She'd done extensive studying in her room, but personal tutors, who were ancient and spoke in slow drawls, but her patience with elderly people gave her the upper hand in her studies but it wouldn't help in a real battle. It would just average out some odds, but in the end it really came to decisions.

"Hope you're ready." Riddel said, to both the other trainer and her Ariados "Now, name's aren't important to each other in battles are they? I doubt it's neccessary to reveal our names for a battle. Maybe some other time if we manage to bump into each other again how's that?"

She got up from her Ariados in a smooth, fluid movement, and pushed back her hair, and flipped it behind her shoulder "Since I've got an evolved pokemon, and your cyndaquil needs to power up it's flames, I'll let you go first, without intervention."

Ariados turned around and faced the cyndaquil in it's owners hands <'Gonna get a nickname after this, so this better be good short and stout one!'> It said bracing itself for a quick counterattack.

"Your cyndaquil doesn't look too happy to be here." Riddel said fingering a strand of hair that had strayed into her eyes again "I wonder why..." She said sarcastically as Ariados thrust his yellow legs up close to him in a sort of shield.

OOC: This doesn't mean Ariados won't dodge it, it just means we'll let you do the first command.

Jen raised her eyebrow at this. Why was he acting so serious? How can you have fun in life if you're just serious all the time? Jen shrugged as her pokemon hopped into her hands.
<No fair! I wanted to battle!> Cinna whined.
"Sorry, maybe next time. We have to train against wild pokemon first... so you can get stronger." Jen hugged her pokemon and waited for the pokemon battle to start.
Cyndaquil against a Ariados. Jen surely thought the Cyndiquil was going to win with the advantage of being a fire type, but then she noticed how weak it looked and was more towards Ariados in winning. Cinna laid down by her trainer, tongue-bathing herself.
<What? Pokemon have to stay clean, you know.> Cinna said when she noticed that Jen raised her eyebrow at her. Jen didn't know what to do next-- should they leave and go train after the battle, or stay with these guys, that they hardly knew? Well, Jen had to hurry on her decision, because the battle, she thought, would be over fairly quickly. "Cinna, what do you think we should do? train or stay with these guys?" Jen asked. Cinna, still bathing happily, was too lazy to reply. Jen sighed. "We can never get along if you never listen to me..." Jen put her hands on her hips.
<I'm listening, It's just my tongue is filled with my hair and so I am temporarily unable to reply.> Cinna spat out a hairball before she could say this. Jen rolled her eyes. The pokemon battle had begun, apparently. Jen stared at the pokemon, trying to figure out who had a better chance of winning. Hrmm... I wonder how weak that Ariados is. It looks fairly strong to me. Cyndaquil has a fire-type advantage, but then again it's so weak... Jen was trying to act... logical, shall we say? Because if she wanted to become a pokemon master, she would have to know everything she could about battles, pokemon, and more.

"Cyndaquill, are you ready for this?" Jake asked, ignoreing the jibe from the Ariados-girl about Cyndaquill's weakness. "You heard that, didn't you. They called you weak! Are you going to just stand there!" he roared.

Cyndaquill flinched, and replied, <I was planning on doing that...>

Ignoring Cyndaquill's atempt to get out of the battle, Jake called out the first command. "Use Swift!"

Cyndaquill's mouth opened up, and fired several star-like projectlies, right in the direction of Ariados.
 
Rai wasn't astounded by cyndaquils obvious weakness, but like any pokemon cyndaquil could over come those weaknesses
"C'mon cyndaquil, and it's trainer, you cna beat her" i yelled as i felt all my pride fill the air,
i only hopen he would accept my back up rthet than shun me for it, i guess i had to wait and see...
 
Riddell smirked, almost laughing and said "Alright Ariados, dodge and then use stringshot to disperse that attack, and counter with Scary face!"

'This guys even got a cheerleading squad. How cute!' Riddell though sarcastically as Ariados jumped to the side, shot a stringy web like substance from it's two pincer like fangs before it's mouth and contracted each fiber to turn and surround the little golden stars, cutting each in half and stopping it in it's tracks.

It crawled back into it's original spot in the blink of an eye and the world around the battle seemed to dim a little darker as Ariados's eyes narrowed into tiny slits, just open enough to show his usually purple tinted eyes glowing blood red, the shadow's cast upon his face by his surrounding striped legs only accented the move into an even more frightening expression, and to add even more effect, he clicked his fangs together, as though he was hungry for the little cyndaquil before him.

Stifling more laughter, Riddel was interested to know how the boy would react to this move, which really would do no physical harm to his pokemon.
