OOC: Remeber what I said about the region in the first post, Naoko. It's filled with Pokèmon, and unhibited by humans, so there won't be any cities. But yes, you can make up the landscape surrounding you. I'm too lazy to post a map, let alone make one...XP.

IC:

I grinned as I saw that the Ariados' master's arrogance had prevented her from seeing me. I was positive that the next time she set eyes one me I would be ready for a rematch, and this time, I was going to win, no matter the cost.

<That was a close one, Big-Jake. Where to next?> Cyndaquill asked, looking around.

"Anywhere that's away from that ****ed Ariados."

Together, we slowly retraced our steps, moving further and further backward, being extra careful not to give the trainer and her Pokèmon any sign that we were anywhere near. At one point, Cyndaquill stepped on a twig, which snapped.

I held my breath

"Don't ever do that again," I whispered.
 
I was surprised he wasn't mad at me. I stood there, parilyzed, (Stupid english ><; Sp?) as everyone walked slowly ahead of me. I finally came to my senses and started walking, just far back to where no one ahed of me could see me if they turned their heads. There were leaves crunching between my feet, and probably some ants, too. Eevee was still in my wounded arms. My legs burned like heck, and I could barely walk with my wounds.

The blood was dripping down onto my shoes, stained on my pants, onto my hands, everything else. I was hoping there was a body of water somewhere near by.
Although, I am not known to have such luck. I sighed and closed my eyes, having no idea where I was going, why, and how I was gonna do it. I didn't know If I was going to bump into someone, hopefully not Toren or a pokemon, if I was going to wander off without knowing it, there's alot of things you don't know when your eyes are closed.
My walk was weak and slow, My wounds were killing me. I couldn't take it. I fell down onto the ground, and Cinna dropped out of my arms. I help my wounds as my hand became more bloody, as well as my legs. What had I done to myself? I was hoping someone could hear me. Then again, I wasn't. I hated being the center of attention.

Rai could not understand the commotion shiko and her pokemon...
Click to expand...
He* :D Sorry had to point that out. Even though HE does seem to act like a SHE sometimes. X3

IC: "Hey! Just accept my help, you." He smiled toward Rai, "It's not a sign of weakness to do that, as you apparently think it is."

Shiko started to walk foreward, and then looked at the paused Kitsuni, who said, <Shiko...I think we better do something about Dark-tooth.>

"Hmm.. Perhaps so," he directed towards the Eevee.

"Rai. On the count of three, we tackle whatever is behind those bushes over there," he pointed at what he was calling into attention, "Ready? One...Two...THREE!"
 
IC:

Cyndaquill and I slowly threaded our way through the forest, and soon came into contact with other Pokèmon. I was quick to learn that the forest was brimming with Pokèmon life, eventhough I cannot see them. Cyndaquill got himself in a battle with a Pidgey over territory, but Cyndaquill proved victorious, finishing Pidgey off with a magnificent Swift. This boosted both Cyndaquill ad my own morale. Iwth this new found win, Cyndaquill began to challenge more and more wild Pokèmon, and just kept on getting stronger and stronger. Until he met the Belllsprout.

We had been walking along a natural path, when suddenly, a Bellsprout popped out, rather angry at us. Not knowing why, we looked behind, and saw that the plants that we had previously brushed aside really belonged to the Bellsprout, who had kept them there for protection.

"Bell...sprout!"

Suddenly, the Bellsprout swung her entire body round, firing a volley of razor sharp leaves from its small leaves on the stem. the leves came careening through the air, and Cyndaquill and I barely managed to dodge them, before the struck the tree behind us, causing it to creak as its bark was cut away.

"So you want to play tough, eh? Cyndaquill, use Quck Attack!" I yelled, knowing that the bellsprout was unlikely to just move to the side.

Cyndaquill darted forward, at a blinding speed, and without warning, struck the Bellsrout hard with his head. The Bellsprout fell backwards, and stood up, snarling. This would be a hard battle.
 
Toren heard a small thud from behind it and the slight rustle of leaves along the ground. He turned around, brushing some stray hair out of his face, and looked back. Jen had been trudging so far behind him that he could barely see her body, which was crumpled on the ground. He shrugged and jogged back to her, bending down to the ground and examining her.

Like she had been outside of Viridian, she Jen still had the minor injuries all over her. Her shoes looked bloody, along with her her pants and basically the rest of her clothes. Toren sighed and grabbed her arms, pulling her up to her feet and making sure that she was able to stand. He blew hair out of his face again and looked as Growlithe came bounding along towards him and eventually stopping, panting with his tongue out.

"You don't look good. Can you even walk?..."
 
OOC: oh sorry about that =$

IC: "fine, i'll accpet your help, but that doesn't make us friends ok?" i said looking at the bush Shiko was pointing out, it looked liek every other bush in this forest place, leaves, branches, but then he noticed the rustling
"ah" Rai whispered,
"ok 1...2...3" he whipered again, jumping ontop of the bush, what happened after that he couldn't really tell
he remembered landing on the ground, and a long cut from one of the branches, or was it something else?
"there's another cut for my now growing collection" he joked, and got up to find dark-tooth on his lap licking her paw
"ah there you are" he said grabbing her up in his arms and holding her close
<yeah, i'm here, i thoguht i had lost you for good where were you?>
"oh we were just around, got into a figth and well now we're here" he said laughing
He hadn't been so happy in so long, but he remembered shiko was still around
"uh yeah" he said calming down "we better get moving, by the way dark-tooth this is shiko and his pokemon, shiko this is dark-tooth" he said hastily begining to walk forward...
 
Riddel turned around and rolled her eyes "Oh my god I've got a backseat murderer."

<'Huh?'> Dart asked crawling back.

"Nevermind. Listen, by the time we find our way out this stupid forest, you'll probably faint, and much good it'll do then." Riddel said to the girl, "I've got a few supplies in here, and it'll have to do for now. Hitch a ride on Dart, like I told you last time, and then we'll move about ten times faster. Deal?" She asked tossing a small white box with a red cross on the front to the girl's boyfriend.

"Then, we'll find our way out of here...although the lack of pokemon bothers me." Riddel looked around with a frustrated glare, as though it was the plants that surrounded them's fault for the lack of wild pokemon.

<'Iiii think it's because we scare them off...or at least, you do with your death glare.'> Dart said shaking his head.

"Shut up you. Now, I'll wait about ten minutes for you to clean yourself up, and then we're leaving again. Stop moping, it's not going to get you anywhere. You already left, and you're gonna keep going. D*mn I wish we had a blissey." Riddel said spitting into a bush "Now you, sit." She commanded, pointing at the base of a large tree "I'm sure you won't do anything but waste my first-aid kit if you try to do it yourself."

<'Jeez could you even be ever so slightly nicer?'> Dart asked rolling his eyes.

"No." Riddel replied bitterly "I don't know where I am, I've got a half-dying girl in front of me, I've got a guy who is a half-softie, and I've got a half-wit Ariados by my side. I don't think I could get any nicer then this."

<'Lot's of halves.'> Dart said nodding <'Lot's.'>

"Now before I rip those antennae out of your butt, go do something useful, like exploring." Riddel snapped.

<'Yes sergant.'> Dart muttered shaking his head as he explored their nearby surroundings.

OOC: Not sure if I spelled sergant right, but you spell 'parilyzed' not with an i but an a. Like this--> 'paralyzed'
 
OOC: I KNEW I spelled it wrong XD
IC: I growled at Riddel. "Y'know what? Keep your first aid kit, keep everything. I don't need it! I'd better find how to get the hell out of here soon, because I SERIOUSLY don't want to be with you anyomre." I jumped up and started running as fast as my li'l ol' wounded legs would take me. I dind't care where I was going, didn't dare look back, and was seriously hoping my pokemon was following me. Luckily, she was.
I closed my eyes and didn't even care if I was going to run into a tree, step on a snake, or die. I just wanted to get away from Riddel and Ariados. Oh, how they bugged me. I suddenly felt something hit my foot-- I lost my balance, I fell... falling... falling... bam. Tripped. I didn't dare open my eyes. I got up and continued running. Once I was on my feet again, I opened my eyes and, out of breath, stared into the darkness. No reason at all.

I came to my senses and continued running... it seemed to go on forever.
 
Toren sighed and watched jen run off....then trip....then start running again.(XD) He shrugged his head and walked past Ridell, a little angry about what she had said about him being "half-softie". He glared at her as he passed, then trudged along, whistling for Growlithe to follow him. The little fire dog barked and started to chase after him, growling at Ridell a bit before struggling to keep up with Toren.

Well, this certainly is going well. I've got one girl running off with injuries and pretending that she can make it by herself, another girl who thinks I'm some kind of wimp, and everyone else just gone. How fun.

He thought, shrugging his head and stopping a minute to pant for a minute. He hadn't really noticed how fast he was going, and os needed to stop for a minute to make sure that he was breathing okay. He sighed and looked down at Growlithe, managing a faint smile in spite of how frustated he was. He brushed more hair away then bent down to rub Growlithe, then standing back up and looking around.

"So what do you think, Growlithe? What should we do?..."

The little pokemon shrugged its head and looked around, barking at a stray, bug Pokemon that he saw climbing up ito his tree. Toren smiled again and motioned for his friend to follow him as he started to go forward, but walking, instead of his earlier jogging.
 
Riddel raised her eyebrows "Well that takes care of that I suppose."

<'Dude. You just scared away two people with your attitude. Did you get the hint yet?'> Dart asked crawling up to her.

"Yes Dart I did thanks." Riddel said picking up the first aid kit and jamming it back into her side bag "And thanks for being so tolerant." She said brushing her hands off.

<'Welcome.'> He said shrugging it off <'Man, I hate cheerful and scary human's anyway, so yeah. It takes all the fun out of cheering people up. Cept you, cause you're like, 'oh I'm gonna be dull and suck the life outta here' so I gotta putz the life back in!'>

"Right." Riddel mumbled "Well let's find a clearing. Or at least some grassland."

<'Well, I'd say that we'd be much faster through the trees, as long as you hold on and don't fall off, we could be outta here in less then 5 minutes.'> Dart said turning around for Riddel to climb aboard.

"See? Other's just slow you down." Riddel said grabbing hold of Dart's antennae and sitting side strattle "I'd suggest you go slightly slower then you really would without a human on top."

<'Yes ma'am!'> Dart said crouching low to the ground and jumping high into the trees.

"Nice view." Riddel said sarcastically as she willed herself not to look down. As cold and rude as she was, she was still human after all, and being as high as she was wasn't always the greatest feeling in your gut.

<'Hold on tight.'> Dart warned as he crouched low to the tree branch he'd landed upon and once again flung himself into the air and landed in a tree no more then three others away from the original tree.

"Woah." Riddel breathed, grasping onto Dart's antennae "A little fast there."

<'Well yeah, I gotta go fast or else we'll go soarin' down like a rocket.'> Dart said <'And your not exactly a cotton ball on my butt either....more like a mountain.'>

"Let's get off the subject of my weight now!" Riddel snapped "I'm still a girl you know!"

<'Oh yeah, aren't human girls real sensitive about how much they weigh?'> Dart asked, but before Riddel could snap at him again, he jumped onto another tree branch <'If you weren't holding onto my antennae so hard, then I might be able to see if I can feel the wind a little more. Once the trees start to thin on the edge, I'll be able to feel the wind more easily."

"Okay." Riddel said letting go of his antennae ever so breifly before he said,

<'Getting closer...slowly...'> Dart mumbled.

And so it went, Dart checking around to see if they were getting any closer to the edge, and them arguing about utter nonsense. But it seemed as though the forest never ended in Riddel's eyes. Even with an incessant chatter like Dart, she felt like all they were doing was going in a circle, even though she was absolutely positive they were going in a straight line, according to the built in compass on her bag's strap.

<'Okay, no more changes in the wind...'> Dart said nervously after they'd jumped through about ten trees.

"Where the h*ll are we?" Riddel wondered aloud, knowing she was now far from the other two, though she didn't quite mind, they weren't the best company she'd met so far...

"And why can't we get out?!" She yelled in frustration.
 
I still ran. Too much running. Eevee panted.

<'C'mon, Jen! Riddel was just trying to help...> I stopped dead in my tracks. I turned my head to Cinna, and grumbled, "You call that helping? The little freak is just rude! She's a Friggin' idiot, rude, mean, and un-caring."
<'If she was un caring, why did she give you the first-aid kit?'> Cinna replied.
"She just didn't want to see my dirty blood. Dirty, dirty blood." I fell onto the ground and wrapped my arms around my knees, which were pressed against my chest. Another tear fell from my eye. "I'm going home." Were the last words I was going to say for awhile.
<'You're kidding, Look! We will be a team, a team alone, if we have to.'>
I didn't reply. Silence. Zip. Zero. Nada.
The dirt beneath me was rough and dry.
My tears were moist and salty.
Sitting there on the ground with my pokemon beside me, I somehow felt untouchable. Un-harmed.
 
OOC: I'm sorry, but I may have to drop out... My parents are sending me to my aunt's house for Sakura-con. I don't know if she'll let me use the computer there, so, yeah... >_<

IC: Shiko blinked at this comment, "What's wrong with being friends?" he asked, following Rai.

His ears once again twitched, as they seemed to be doing alot lately. Kitsuni squeaked at his side and began walking to the side of the path, "I think... Kitsuni's found something."

Shiko slowly followed the Eevee and pushed away some branches. There lay a Caterpi huddled by a tree and squealing as if in pain.
 
IC:

Something told me that there was someone behind me. It didn't feel as if I was being watched. No, not at all, but it did feel like someone was there. I didn'teve know if I was only feeling it because I was afraid that the Bellsprout would call in reinforcements, or maybe it was just a sixth sense, or seventh, or eighth...

I turned around, and scanned the surroundings to see if there was anybody there. Cyndaquill looked worridely at me as I completely ignored hi and the bellsprout, focussing all my attention on finding out who had been spying on my. This undivided attention to something that he couldn't see was disturbing Cyndaquill, so he had to interupt.

<Are you okay, Big-Jake?>

"Yeah. I think that someone is somewhere here, but I'm not too sure. How about this. You try whatever moves you feel appropriate to defeat the Bellspout while I go looking. If it's okay with you," I replied, not looking at Cyndaquill, but rather the forest around me.

He was okay with it.

Turning bak to the battle, hebegan to use a series of moves which weren't of the smartest order, but that's what a trainer was for. A trainer's strategic mind, combined with a Pokèmon's power was what made the two species so strong together in battle, or in a dangerous situation. But I coulnd't let that bother me right now. I had trust in Cyndaquill, and that was all that we needed to complete our tasks.

Quickly skirting the Bellsprout, I pushed apart another set of brambles with a gloved hand, and continued my search for something, or someone. My search soon turned out to be rather fruitful. I found the Eevee-girl, the one who had been with the Ariados-girl and the Growlithe-boy when I had lost my match. She didn't seem too happy, an was holding herself tightly. What really struck me as odd, howeever, was that she was covered in blood.

What the hell did she do to herself?

I looked around from my perch in a tree to see what I could use to coax her out of her shell. Ever since I opened up to Cyndaquill, I began to see other people with the same regard that I saw myself, and I hated seeing that girl in pain like that. I didn't know what caused it, but I wanted to help.

I dropped down from my branch, and walked up to her, but I saw a blur of brown, and was knocked backward by something in my stomache. I looked up to see the Eevee growling at me as I was trying to get closer to the girl. I decided to yell.

"Hello...whatever your name is...I'm only trying to help. I have some good supplies in my bag if you need them, and I'll help you clean yo wounds!"
 
IC: "nevermind it we can talk about being friends later, ok?" Rai asked, moving towards the little caterpi
it looked like a work, a green worm, No that wasn't right it was more like well it had a body made up of sphere's and annttena on the tip od hte top sphere, and a weird shape for a mouth, and it's markings were pretty distinct not like a normal caterpi who would have circles, but this one had a crescent moon on one sphere of it's body, a half circle, and a full circle on the others
"hey, do you mind if I take care of this pokemon?" i asked Shiko picking the caterpi up into my arms
 
OOC: I had already started running XD; Hrmm, should we say I hear you? XD; Yeah, let's say I hear you.
IC: I heard a distant voice. Probably Toren, or Riddel, yelling at me for being such an idiot. I couldn't blame them. I growled softly and started heading back, wanting to pick a fight with Riddel, even in my bad condition. When I made it over there, there was the guy with the cyndaquil who battled Riddel. I watched as Cinna charged at the boy. I said nothing, but took her in my arms and gave her a look that said, "Don't, what if he's trying to help?" I looked back at the boy and smiled, then waved, as if to say, "Nice battle." How long could I go without talking? Probably not too long. I sighed and closed my eyes, wondering what he was doing here. I then noticed a sort-of first aid kit that he had. I didn't know if I should take it, or leave it.
 
Toren shrugged his head and continued to make his way through the forest, crossing his arms across his chest and letting his eyes dart in basically every direction, scanning each section of the area to see if there was any sort of threat or just something that he needed to be aware of. He saw a couple Taillow pass in a small group overhead, and he thought about starting a battle, but by the time he had made up his mind they were long gone, out of sight, out of mind.

"Growlithe, see if you can sniff out that girl from before, Jen."

He said, following the little dog as they made their way through a different part of the forest then where they had been heading before. Finally, he found a clump of trees behind which he heard two voices, Jens, and one other male voice, which he recognized as the boy from before, Jake, he thought his name was.

Hmmm, seems she's in a better mood then before. Bet she likes him.

He thought, chuckling quietly to himself so that the pair of them wouldn't be able to hear. He leaned one against one of the larger trees, behind which he couldn't be seen, and staring off in the opposite direction of where they were, closing his eyes and remaining in a relaxed position, keeping his arms crossed as before. Growlithe almost began to bark, but Toren quickly stopped him before any noise would be able to be heard.
 
I just stared at the first aid-kit and Jake. I suddenly heard a crunching-of-leaves sound not too far. I jumped and gasped slightly. "Who's there?" My eyes opened wide as well as my ears, Not even a cat could hear as good as me now. I looked behind me, I searched in front. Nothing in sight. I sighed and then let Cinna jump into my arms. I was going to need to give her a bath, because my blood was getting on her fur. "Do you know any bodies of water around here?" I asked anyone that could hear me. "Probably not..."
<'Course not! We don't even know where we are,> Eevee reported.
 
OOC: Darn. My post got deleted! ;_; anyway, I will re=type it later, but I have to go to this school open house thing, so I won't be posting today, but my question is....

What happens when we run out of stuff? You know, like, pokeball's, and all that stuff? I mean, no people cept' for us are here right? 0_0;; Or did I miss something in the first post again? ........
 
OOC: Shame, naoko. that happens to me often. I sometimes post massive RP posts, and then close the window by accident. Yes, I know, I'm stupid, but you can't blame me. I'm often too tired to even think when I do that...Oh, and Diamond~Star. Maybe I read wrong, but in the post that you made before I posted, it said that you sat down. I think. Apologies if I made a mistake. Also, I don't have my Cyndaquill with me. He's currently battling against a rogue Bellsprout

IC:

Glad that she had finally calmed down, I smiled at her. The girl was not nearly as rude or idiotic as the girl with the Ariados. The odd thing was that they all seemed to know each other's name, but I didn't know any of their names. Must be something to do with being a loner. But I couldn't worry about that. This girl was badly wounded, and even if she pretnded that nothing had happened to her, I knew that she would soon faint from loss of blood.

I was about to reply to her compliment about my useless battle when she glanced around in search of something. I hadn't heard anything, but maybe she had the same sense that I had. Maybe.

"Don't worry. I'm sure that it's nothing more than another Pokèmon. Perhaps it was drawn to you by the smell of blood. I dunno. But let's go back to my Cyndaquill so that I can keep an eye on him while cleaning your wounds," I said, putting my arm round her shoulder to keep her up. Her knees seemed t knock together from weakness.

Carefully, I walked with her back to Cyndaquill. At one point I had gotten myself lost, but I hadn't told the girl that. I didn't want her to get worried.

We reached Cyndaquill as he continued to bravely take on the Bellsprout. I placed her down by a tree and began to talk as I opened the first-aid kit.

"So, I'm Jake. What's your name?"
 
"Her name's Jen."

Toren said, sitting in a nearby tree, stretched out on one of the branches and leaning against the base of it. His arms were crossed, as always, and his eye were completely shut, just merely listening to the pleasant conversation between the two of them. He didn't normally but into conversations, but if he knew something that somebody else didn't, he was proud to blurt it out. Then again, that's the reason most kids at the Academy hadn't liked him very much.

Growlithe, who had been having trouble climbing up into the same tree, was currently scratching up the side and whining, wanting to climb up. Toren chuckled a bit and reached down far, scooping up the dog into his arms and then lying back down in his regular position. He set his friend down on one of the branches beside him, then closed his eyes again and relaxed.
