[OOC: Thank you for what you did in the NIGHT roleplay, Chabz. That was generous for you to do. ^-^;;]

"It's no problem," Dawn assured Jezz in response to the Electivire's request for a respite. Reseating himself in the grass, the Espeon waited patiently for his companion to finish resting. Seeing the other take a drink, Dawn nodded slightly toward the pool of water as the gem in his forehead began to glow dimly. Water streamed itself into the air, forming an orb that levitated toward the Espeon. Dawn swallowed the water, shrugged, and commented, "Sometimes it tastes a little odd when I do that, but it's good practice." He settled back and fell quiet.

When Jezz stood in preparation to leave, Dawn followed suit. For a few paces the cat-like Pokemon quickened his pace to catch up with the electric-type. Of course, having the shorter stride, Dawn needed to maintain a brisker pace than Jezz if he intended to move at the same rate, but he did not seem bothered. Motioning with his head in the direction he had previously been traveling, Dawn suggested, "Maybe we could go in this direction, if that's alright. As long as I'm not doubling back, though, I don't really mind going wherever." During this time, the Espeon had turned to look up at Jezz. "As for your second question . . ." He redirected his attention to the path ahead, intending to prevent any unfortunate events such as tripping or falling in a hole (or both). After one or two seconds, he continued, "I didn't leave Saffron under the best circumstances, but they definitely could have been worse." He glanced back up at the Electivire. "Put simply, one night I was being chased by a colony of Mankey and ended up falling in a river. Since I didn't really have a reason to go back--and finding my way back would have been more difficult than just moving on--I started going wherever I had a notion to go." The Espeon's ear twitched in response to a passing breeze, and the psychic-type glanced casually about to regain an awareness of his surroundings.

"What about you?" Dawn asked, meeting Jezz's eyes with his own gaze. "What caused you to choose the life of a wanderer? Or how did this life choose you?"
 
(I'm a nice guy, and you RP better than me anyway. So why waste a good plot on me? Haha.)

"Any direction you wish my new companion. I've been to a lot of places, some which I wouldn't mind returning to someday, so I'm willing to go anywhere you'd like." Jezz gave a slight smile, and then began thinking about Dawn's next question.

Should I tell him why I really left? Or should I just make something up. There really is no reason to lie, other than it being painful to talk about. I'll just be vague about the situation. Jezz looked forward, the gust of wind feeling great as he had become a little hot from the sun.

"My home was destroyed by a forest fire, still don't have any idea what caused it, and had nothing to stay in Sunyshore for. So i became a traveler and decided to start fresh and make new friends." This was good, everything he said had been true, he just left out the part about his family disappearing. Nothing to major though, atleast not to anyone besides himself.

A couple of Pidgey flew by, the wind blowing a little bit harder now, and they were all sqawking about something Jezz couldn't figure out. Minutes later he realized the problem, a large group of Spearow, led by a Fearow, were flying in the same direction as the Pidgey.

"Dawn, would you mind helping be attack those Spearow and Fearow? It seems they are in pursuit of some Pidgey, and I hate seeing larger and stronger pokemon picking on the weak. Well that's not entirely true, any pokemon stronger and larger besides me I meant." Jezz giggled to himself, an image of him beating up a a young charmander that had playfully used Flamethrower in the Johto Region.
 
"Hmm, alright then. To put it simply, when I was a young, I was attacked by my pack. My leader ripped my left ear off, and my father blinded me in my right eye. The rest of my scars are the rest of my pack's doing. In case you're wondering, they attacked me because I was not the most... cooperative member of my pack. Then I ran away and took refuge in an abondoned den. An old man took me in, but then he died two months later. I ran off again until I found these woods. Since then, my life has been nothing but a huge mess." Gore told Jaydin with no emotion in vis voice or on his face. He sighed again and his muscles tensed even more. All of a sudden, Gore noticed a group of Spearow led by a Fearow chasing a group of Pidgey.
"Those jerks... Come with me!" he growled at Jaydin. Gore didn't wait for a response and ran after the bird Pokemon. He ran onto a path and stopped to charge a shadow ball. Gore released the shadow ball and it smacked into the Fearow, causing it to crash to the ground, unconscious. That riled up the Spearows, and they dove at him. While the Pidgeys escaped, Gore wondered if he could take on all of these Spearows.

OoC: It is time for Jezz and Dawn to meet Jaydin and Gore!

Jaydin was hasty to respond, and darted in the direction that Gore led, dodging trees and shrubbery in their path as best he could. The snakelike Jaydin easily caught up with the Mightyena he'd been conversing with, and was face-first with a flock of Spearows, led by a Fearow. Gore easily downed the Fearow, but at the same time, it incited a rage in every Spearow before it; enough to make Jaydin wonder what tactical advantage it had served to attack. While Jaydin usually tried his best not to be so cold to other Pokemon, it was hard to be logical and forgiving at the same time. It was a personal problem that was put to the test in this situation as he decided hesitantly if he really wanted to handle the group of Spearows divebombing at him.

As the small formation of Pidgeys made haste to retreat elsewhere, thoughts occurred to Jaydin. He grinned maliciously and curled his tail upwards towards the group of Spearows, and from the very tip of his tail the Linoone conjured an electric current that built it's way down his tail, stopping at his hindlegs. The strong lightning rod that his tail had become shone in the sunlight momentarily, before the Linoone unleashed a Thunder Bolt powerful enough to fry a Spearow instantaneously. Unfortunately, it only took care of the four foremost Spearows in the flock, leaving the rest of the birds to attack Jaydin and Gore.
 
Jezz, while waiting for Dawn's response, had been watching the Fearow and his underling Spearows, not wanting to lose sight of them so he could catch up and stop their massive strike on the Pidgey. It was then that a Shadow Ball, seemingly appearing from nowhere, struck the Fearow and causing it to crash downwards into the ground. Mere seconds later, a Thunder Bolt attack took out four of the Spearow. Jezz did a quick head count, the grand total being 20 Spearow left.

"Now where in the world did those attacks come from." Jezz glanced around until his eyes landed on a Mightyena and a Linoone, both of him were being dive bombed by the remaining Spearow. "No time to let you choose anymore Dawn, we're helping." And with that said, Jezz went primal and began running on his arms and legs, so as to reach the pokemon who also wished to help the Pidgey.

As Jezz was merely a few feet away, he leaped into the air and unleashed a hyperbeam from his mouth. The Spearow, who hadn't noticed him before, realized they were in trouble and tried to swerve out of the way. Unfortunately for six of them, their time in this battle was over as the hyperbeam blasted them into the higher parts of a nearby tree.

"Maybe that'll teach you to act tough when your really not" yelled Jezz, finally reaching the Linoone and Mightyena. "Hi there, names Jezz and I'm here to help. My companion Dawn should be joining us shortly. It seems great minds think alike, I was just asking Dawn if he wanted to help me disrupt these Spearows plan when you beat me to the punch."

Jezz was then hit by a tackle attack, and then another, and another, and then four more after that. Due to his great size he was only pushed backwards, as his feet scraped the earth from under them.

"Ouch! That wasn't very nice," said Jezz trying to have a positive and fun attitude about the battle.
 
Gore snarled as the Spearows tackled Jezz. He was not in the mood to have fun.
"You did it this time, you rats with wings!" Gore snapped. He lunged at the nearest Spearow and clawed at it until it fainted. Gore was no longer fighting Pokemon style. He was fighting like a normal animal would. Gore leaped at another Spearow and kept on biting it until it, like the other one, fainted. The Spearows were starting to realize that these Pokemon were far stronger than they and flew off, squawking with fear.
"Hah! As you said, friend, they weren't so tough... I am Gore, and this is Jaydin. That battle just made my day." Gore said cheerfully, obviously happier after their victory. He was covered in blood from the vicious way he attacked the Spearows, but he didn't seem to care. Anyone who knew him would know that this wasn't the first time that happened to him. Not like anybody did know him.
 
Dawn had listened to Jezz's story wordlessly, but attentively. And though he suspected that certain parts of the Electivire's account had been exempted, he made no comment.

A sudden flurry of wings drew Dawn's attention skyward. The psychic type gazed at the flocks of bird Pokemon, tracking their movements in an attempt to decipher the situation. Pidgey, Spearow, Fearow . . . How did this happen? Dawn's thoughts were interrupted by Jezz who apparently was also preoccupied by these latest events.

"Dawn, would you mind helping be attack those Spearow and Fearow? It seems they are in pursuit of some Pidgey, and I hate seeing larger and stronger pokemon picking on the weak. Well that's not entirely true, any pokemon stronger and larger besides me I meant." Here Jezz laughed, and Dawn tilted his head faintly. While the Espeon had no objection to helping Pokemon in need, he was also not one to rush into a situation without first making some effort to understand circumstances and motives. He knew the temperament of the Spearow family, had repeatedly witnessed the eternal Spearow-Pidgey feud, and certainly understood the message delivered by the first look at the chase. First looks, however, are often unreliable. Dawn hesitated, but before he could explain his concerns, a Shadow Ball shot out of the woods nearby, rendering the head Fearow unconscious in a single blow.

"No time to let you choose anymore Dawn, we're helping."

The Espeon's head whirled toward Jezz as the latter dashed ahead. Well, there he goes. Though he did not have enough breath to sigh, the lavender Pokemon still shook his head a little as he loped after the electric-type. Pokemon can be such firecrackers--and that may go for whoever fired off that Shadow Ball and Thunderbolt, too. He watched a half-fried Spearow try to stay aloft as it escaped the scene of its defeat. I just hope we were right.

As he ran, allowing himself to fall behind his larger companion, Dawn noted a few Spearow breaking off from the main group. Since the warlike birds were now diving toward him with angry cries, the Espeon felt that he could safely assume that he had been noticed and that his presence was unappreciated. For a moment the psychic Pokemon stood still, gazing silently at the figures above. Suddenly, the wings of the Spearow that had changed course were clamped firmly to their bodies, as though held in place by an unseen force. From the corner of his eye, Dawn saw the Spearow plummet to the ground while he moved on.

By the time Dawn approached Gore, Jaydin, and Jezz; the remaining Spearow were already fleeing, and the Espeon was walking--having slowed his pace once he sensed that the danger was over and the other Pokemon had come into view. At the moment the Mightyena was introducing himself and the Linoone beside him. Nodding a greeting at two previously unknown Pokemon as he drew near, Dawn spoke. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Gore and Jaydin." He looked from the two he had just addressed over to Jezz, then back. "Sorry I'm late. By the look of things, though, my help wasn't needed."
 
Gore nodded at Dawn in greeting, grinning. He was full of excitement after defeating those Spearow so easily.
"Heh, they were probably a low level like twenty." Gore joked. After some thought, he decided that might have sounded a bit cocky, considering that level might be extremely high to someone else.
"Er, not that I'm showing off, but to me that is a low level..." Gore explained to Dawn and Jezz, a bit embarrassed. What is there to be embarrassed about? He sat down, his tail wagging wildly, trying to shrug off the embarrassment and have some fun.
"So, what brings you here, friends? I myself am a mere traveler." Gore told Jezz and Dawn. He inspected the three Pokemon before him. Jezz was about Gore's size when he was on two legs, perhaps a bit shorter or a bit taller. Jaydin was the smallest, he came up to his chest when he stood on two legs. As for Dawn, he was up to Gore's neck when he was on all four legs. He looked away, for some odd reason feeling uncomfortable. Gore's gaze fell on the sky, it was getting late and the sky was tinged pink. He became mesmerized by the beautiful sight and just sat there watching it, waiting for a response.
 
" Well while your help wasn't necessary, it would have been nice because maybe you could have stopped the dive bomb tackle line I was faced with." Jezz tried to put a mad face on, but it didn't last long because he really enjoyed the company of his new companion. Gore had made a comment about the Spearow's level probably being low, or atleast to him it was low. Jezz, who had been turned the other direction looking at Dawn, rolled his eyes at the narcism he could feel from what Gore had said.

"Well, just like you, both Dawn and I are travelers aswell. I hail from Sunyshore City in the Sinnoh Region and Dawn is from Saffron City if I remembered correctly. Yes i'm positive that's what he said." Of course, Jezz could have just let Dawn answer but there was no fun in that as he felt like talking, this being a day of new introductions. Jezz followed Gore's gaze, it leading to the pinkish sky as the day was nearing its end. "What a pretty sky we have here, lets not let it go to waste." Jezz promptly sat down, a small thud echoing to anyone in ear shot, and set his eyes on the marvelous setting.

(Sorry for the short post, slightly distracted at the moment.)
 
Name: Darkly
Gender: Male
Pokemon: Giratina
Personality: he is very twisted, but not as evil as he looks. he has no desire to free the other legends(except for rayquaza. his only friend...) as they would just send him back to turnback cave.
but he is pretty lonely, as every pokemon he meets is afraid of him. so he destroys everything in his path. including other pokemon, until he find a pokemon that is like him, and that he can trust.

History: Darkly was created by arceus and put in another dimension a very long time ago. about 100 hundred years ago he decided to leave his dimension and explore earth, but arceus did not approve of this, so he trapped giratina in turnback cave. he was then captured by team rocket, but he fled to the reverse dimension to escape. he came back to earth later, and with arceus trapped, there as no one to stop him from taking over this world.
Other: he is capable of switching dimensions whenever he wants. so if your character is with him at the moment, prepare to be brought into another dimension

Jaydin, being the pessimistic bastard that he was, noted quite bluntly, "One day, there will be no tomorrow. The reason the sun gives us such a strange glow is to warn us of the future. There will be one last perfect day, then Sol will grow large enough to devour us whole. Enjoy this solace while you have the privilege."

Sadly, it was very true, given the knowledge that 'Sol' refers to the sun. It wouldn't happen in anyone in that group's lifetime, but one day, the sun would become a red giant and inadvertantly "swallow" the Earth. It was enough of a thought to make you feel surprisingly hopeless and as if your life were entirely pointless. Jaydin sat back on his hindlegs, like a dog of sorts, and poked his tail upwards as he watched the sun set into the distance. His cosmic sense of reality, he felt, would give everyone else a better look at life, at the price of his own whimsy; that had never been the case, though.

Mountains borne of crystal stared back at the Linoone as his keen blue eyes sharply picked out every detail of the landscape, as if he were searching for something wrong. Their sharp, dagger-like bodies poked out of the ground as though the maw of their range was the entrance to hell itself, and it made Jaydin feel uneasy looking at them. Maybe it was time to rest off the day... Again.
 
Though Dawn's ears drooped faintly at the Electivire's jest, he also gave a half smile--sensing the well-meant nature of Jezz's comment. After Gore spoke, during which Dawn listened with a quiet expression, the half smile returned. The dark-type's words could sound a little arrogant, but a certain awkwardness entered the Mightyena's manner as he tried to correct himself while keeping his own spirits high. Seating himself in the grass, Dawn allowed Jezz to speak on his behalf in response to Gore's question. At the moment, the Espeon felt no need to say anything since nothing essential seemed to be left unsaid; and the psychic Pokemon was satisfied to watch the proceedings.

Somehow, the group's attention became drawn toward the reddening sky, and Jaydin casually observed that the sunset was a harbinger for the end of the world. While he guessed that the Linoone was not suggesting that the planet's end was imminent, Dawn still found the thought curious. The doctor used to tell me that simple things like the sunrise or sunset--beautiful, pure things that could cleanse your soul and draw your spirit heavenward--were precious and wonderful to behold. He also said something about light being bent and wavelengths affecting how light reflected off atmospheric particles, but I don't remember that part as well . . . The blending lights gave on odd colour to the Espeon's smooth fur and shone brightly in his obsidian black eyes as he, too, stared up into the sky. Then the priest I stayed with talked about how nature was a gift from God, but I'm not sure he meant it the same way this Linoone is thinking. Glancing over at Jaydin, Dawn replied after some thought, his tone soft as though in reverence for the dusk, "I guess twilight is a little like something dying. But night is important, too. Once we're all gone . . . that doesn't mean that things stop happening." He stood. "And on that note, I suppose we ought to find some place to rest before it gets dark. Any suggestions as to where to look?"
 
"I guess twilight is a little like something dying. But night is important, too. Once we're all gone . . . that doesn't mean that things stop happening." He stood. "And on that note, I suppose we ought to find some place to rest before it gets dark. Any suggestions as to where to look?" This statement, made by Dawn, got Jezz's attention and he turned towards his Espeon friend.

"Well lets see, whats around here? The forest behind us, or we can make our way back to that small pool of water and large tree. As always, I'm open to any suggestion seeing as, I'm not picky." The electivire stood, mimicing his companion, and strode around the area trying to see if there were any other places to spend the night. "We don't have many other options, if any, seeing as we're basically in a giant field. Of course, we could always sleep in the field, if you don't mind the cold that will most certainly come later." Jezz continued to look around, to no avail, and just returned his attention to the sky. Some pidgey, possibly the ones from earlier, began to fly by at a slow pace and again the sqwaking of their chit chatter could be heard.
 
Suddenly Gore started chuckling. He sighed and looked at the sky for a few more moments before turning his attention to Dawn, Jezz, and Jaydin.
"Listen, your company was nice and all, but I'll be heading my own way." Gore told them matter-of-factly. There was a hint of sorrow in his voice as he had a flashback of when he and Travers would watch the sunset together. Gore's eyes gleamed sorrowfully as he stood up to leave. He kept on wanting to turn back and stay with the Pokemon that were offering him a sort of friendship... but he couldn't. Not after how Gore suffered after Travers' death. He shut his eyes for just a moment. A single moment. And in that moment, all of Gore's dreams came true. He had friends. Gore had companions that would were loyal and faithful. He had friends that stood up for him. Gore had companions that always had his back and would give their lives for him. Then he opened his eyes and everything went back to normal. Gore was a friendless Mightyena who most children were afraid of. He was back to being a dreamer, not a liver. Gore, for one moment, almost gave a howl of remorse. But he stopped himself, and with that, walked away silently.
 
As if it were his honor-bound duty, Jaydin sped off into the deeper reaches of the forest, trailing silently by his new Mightyena friend. The Linoone was careful to stay close to the ground to avoid detection in his shadow-encroached path as the Mightyena's eyes welled with tears, but went no further. The Linoone sensed the deep sorrow in his newfound friend since they first met only not long beforehand, reading him like an open book. Gore was trying to turn the page and sweep them all away, to continue a tale of his own morbid design forged in misery and anguish. It was something Jaydin would outright refuse to allow in days as dark as those that they all were walking in that very moment; everyone already had enough of a burden to carry on their shoulders, just to bite the pain and live their frustratingly futile lives.

Eventually, around a bend in the cleared pathway, Jaydin decided enough was enough. He wedged himself between Gore and the dirt road that sprawled off into the wild foliage behind the Linoone. Knowing it may as well be the end of him - he was getting in the way of a rather fierce looking Mightyena after all - the small weasel-like pokemon calmly dictated his demands. "Halt. You will go no further... Until you tell me why you run from the monster that has already devoured you whole."
 
Dawn watched the Mightyena with some bemusement and a little regret as the scarred Pokemon turned away, stating his intention to leave. "I realize that some Mightyena are nocturnal, but isn't it a little late to be making that decision?" the Espeon commented, motioning toward the dimming sky with his tail before adding in a gentler tone, "I'm not asking you to start a club with us; just consider staying for a bit." Maybe it will help you . . . If you truly want to leave, then I have no right to stop you. But I've watched suffering too long to be fooled this easily.

As Jaydin vanished into the forest in the same direction as Gore, Dawn felt more at ease. If Jaydin went after him, he should be alright . . . I hope. Though Dawn knew neither Gore nor Jaydin well, the limited information he did know--that the two had been traveling together before he and Jezz met them, that Gore had no apparent objection to this, that the dark type apparently enjoyed the company of the group, that Jaydin valued his companion enough to follow him after he had been told goodbye, and that Gore was more lonely than he was a loner--led the Espeon to believe that the eccentric Linoone could, at the least, convince Gore to accept his own company if not the company of the others. After a silent moment, Dawn turned to Jezz. "If we're to meet them again, they'll find us again when they're ready. No use pushing someone more than necessary."

Moving in a direction approximately perpendicular to the one the other two Pokemon had departed in, Dawn made his way past the open area's fringe of trees. Not long afterward, the smell and sound of water reached him. The scent was stronger than the sound was loud, and the noise had a bubbling quality, indicating that the water was more likely a stream than a river. "Assuming this territory doesn't belong to someone already, it should be a fair place to stop . . ." He settled down in the loam between two tree roots until he lay partially curled, eyes open, ears half-cocked and listening.

hey!! am I accepted?? I wish you would tell me...
 
Gore growled and leaped over the Linoone with ease. He started to trot away at a quicker pace.
"You don't tell me what to do, and it is none of your business." Gore snapped angrily. He had no idea what Jaydin was thinking, but there was no way he was confiding in him. Gore sighed sadly as he began to daydream of the luxury he could not have. Friendship. He shook his head vigorously to rid himself of the misery of dreaming and not having. Gore wondered what life would be like if he had a companion that would never leave him brokenhearted. Of course there was a chance Jaydin could be that friend, but he wasn't willing to take that risk. Little did Gore know, if Jaydin said, "Please stay with me, I want to help." or, "I promise I won 't hurt you if you just give me a chance." he would instantly succumb to his craving of feeling love and happiness. He would succumb to his craving of having someone to care for him and vice versa. Gore would succumb to his craving of having friendship.
OoC: Oh, sorry Darkly_the_flygon! Yes, you are accepted. But could you add a bit more description to your history and personality, if possible?
 
"You arrogant ass," Jaydin started, darting in front of Gore yet again and pushing back against him with all his might, using his forepaws as surrogate hands to brace against the Mightyena's chest. His hindlegs dug into the dirt as Gore continued relentlessly, not ready to stop just because some pesky Linoone decided to order him around. "You think you're better than me? Pushing me aside like some common ragdoll? I understand that you feel pain for who you've seen die, but that's no reason to just run away when someone offers you companionship!" the weasel-like Pokemon roared furiously, shedding a single tear as he bit down into the fur of Gore's shoulder. He knew it would do absolutely no good, doubting that his sharp fangs would even penetrate the downy coat of the Mightyena, but anger makes fools of many.

"I'm trying to help you, dammit..." he whimpered, hanging his head. He'd seen many Pokemon like Gore in the past; many of them had been former companions of the Linoone, and those many had all perished at the dark hands of foolishness and a headstrong lack of comprehension. In a symbolic, nearly poetic sense, Gore just kept on pushing as if Jaydin were not even there. There was absolutely nothing the Linoone could do.
 
(Sorry for the short post, running out of posting energy.)

Jezz had completely ignored Gore and Jaydin's leaving, continuing to gaze up into the sky. When Dawn began talking, Jezz's ears perked up and listened to what he had to say. Following his companion, they came to a nice spot to spend the night and neatly place his pokebutt on the grass. The wind blew slightly, sending a shiver up the Electivires spide and he shook for a quick second.

"Its a little chilly," smiled the large pokemon, "but it will most certainly do for the night." The pokemon laid on his back and closed his eyes, drifting off into a light sleep.
