Echo quickly saw the dinosaur-like creature and tossed up four pokeballs while bringing out his extended baton twirled it around. Echo's pokemon all popped out of there pokeballs a Poliwhirl , a Mudkip , a Totidile, a Staravia, and a Aipom all emerged in a blast of red light, looking ready for a fight.

Echo then turned his eyes a electric blue , he could now see 360 degrees but somehow when the dinosaur-like creature let out a loud roar Echo could no longer see 360 degrees and his eyes turned back into then regular deep brown.

Echo said in panic " Uhhh Eddie I think we have a probelm " , before getting thrown into the bushes by the dinosaur creature.
 
Zeph was kind of suprised when the Mutiguys attacked them, but recovered quickly.

"Alright Vixie, prepare an Ember!" said Zeph.

Vixie jumped off of Zeph's head to the ground just to knocked down by a huge roar. Zeph picked Vixie and whirled around to end up stareing at a massive creature. The part Zeph imedatly saw was the gigantic horn coming out of the middle of it's forehead. The.... thing was all Zeph could think to describe it with, let out another massive roar, the compleatly fogoten about really small Mutiguys charged it while looking quite fearful. The thing just swept it's horn to the side, and the other Mutiguys just disipeared, flying to the horizon.

"Well. It looks like one enemey is gone," Zeph said in a feable and inaproperate atempt to make a joke. Zeph realized Eddie said something. "What was that Eddie.... What are you doing?" He noticed that Eddie put his backpack on the ground. Just then he noticed someone fly in to the bushes. "Ahh Crap! Vixie Energy Ball!" Zeph yelled.
 
Eddie yelled out for Echo but his voice was cut off when the creature rams into Eddie, tackling him into a tree. "Aauggh!" Eddie accidentally left his backpack behind.. but he managed to get out his baseball bat. Leaning against the tree, holding his stomach - he yells out to the group. "G-Get out of here!! Take my bag with you!!" Eddie stands up and wields his baseball bat in a stance, getting ready to fight. "I'll.. I'll try to hold him off!" The group makes a surprised reaction, treating Eddie like a fool. "D-Don't worry about me.. I'll try to lure this thing away." The group.. gets together, preparing to flee. One of them grabs Eddie's backpack. The group runs away. However, the creature turns it's attention to the group and starts chasing them. "Hey!" Eddie comes charging at the creature, bashing it with his baseball bat. It makes a small thud, barely inflicting any damage on the creature. The creature turns around and swipes Eddie with it's large claws, knocking him over. "Aagh!!" Eddie slowly gets up and yells at the group. "D-don't stop! Keep going! I'll be alright!!" Eddie saids that so calmly and boldly as he gets up. He ignores his pain, which instead translates into his body trembling.

The group continues to flee from the scene. Some look back at Eddie. Some feel helpless. Some wanted to cry. Eddie continiously holds his ground against the creature. A fierce, sharp swipe from the creature's claw strikes Eddie! Eddie took the blow and managed to remain standing up. "Ugh..!!" Another fierce swipe strikes Eddie but his courage and determination kept him standing. Then.. As the group starts to lose sight for the two, the creature's horn missiles straight for Eddie. Eddie takes mortal damage! Eddie is seen collasping from the group's view.. But even so - the group continued to run, looking foward.


Disregarding all the panic, it was a safe arrival at Whitbon..
The group collaspes at the entrance, from all the running and panic. Annie and Alec's mother, along with a few other residents of Whitbon are seen approaching the group.

Alec's Mother exclaimed with a worried face. "W-what happened..?! We heard a loud noise that shook the ground here! It felt like an earthquake..! Are you alright.. ?!" The group was too exhausted to even reply back. One of the residents yells with concern at the group. "It's awfully late! What took you kids so long?!" Another of the residents looks fearful. "You kids look exhausted and scared.. Did.. Did something happen?" One of the other residents looks up ahead on Shining Path, trying to spot something. "I don't like this.." Annie looks around, confused and scared. "... W-where's Eddie?" The group stays strangely silent for a brief moment. Suddenly, it started to rain in the night. One of the residents jumps. "Yah! It's raining! Oh, bother! I just had these clothes dried for crying out loud!!" Alec's Mother looks around. "We should head inside. We might catch a cold in this weather.." A few of the residents argue. "I have a bad feeling for some reason. I feel uneasy.. That earthquake from before felt unnatural. Could it be that those darn Mutiguys are playing with some dangerous explosives? We should be on a lookout just in case. Something just doesn't feel right. We'll stay out here for a moment, just to make sure Mutiguys don't get close to our town. The rest of you should get inside. Get some rest." Most of the residents began to head inside their homes.

The rain felt gentle.. But.. It felt unpleasant.

Some of the residents stayed on guard at the entrace on a lookout, something that no one ever did before in Whitbon. Annie and Alec's mother stayed with the group who were trying to recover from their fatigue. Both were holding large umbrellas which they were using to shield the weary group as much as possible from the strange rain. Annie talked in a soft voice. "Eddie.. He didn't.. get into any trouble..." Annie paused. "... did he?" Alec's Mother tries to help Annie. "Don't worry! Some of the folks volunteered to search for Eddie, remember? I'm sure they'll find him.. I'm sure he's fine." Annie looks down at the ground. "Maybe your right.. It's just, I.." Annie closes her eyes.

One of the residents yell out! "Hey! Someone's coming! It.. It looks like a boy!" Everyone turns around. They notice a broken, wounded and dirty figure walking this way.. It was Eddie.

Eddie was still holding onto his baseball bat which he drops on his way to the group. He was seen carrying a capsule ball gripped tightly in his hand. "E-Eddie!!" Annie cries out for her brother. Eddie approaches Alec's Mother, handing her the capsule ball. "... H-here.. This.. This is what that.. Aspen guy gave us. It.. He said it will help Alec get better." Eddie saids in a crippled voice. Alec's Mother, looking quite shocked, takes the capsule ball. Eddie's fingers slide off the capsule ball as he collapses to the ground. "E-EDDIE!!" Annie screamed as she threw away her umbrella and came to her brother's aid. Annie grasped her arms around Eddie. Alec's Mother looks traumatized, looking at Eddie. She couldn't say a word for some reason. The group, freed from their fatigue, gathers around Eddie. Annie scolds her brother, even in his current state. "W-what happened?! Why are you like this?!" Eddie replies with a weak voice "... Th.. There was this monster I.. *cough* I.. managed to get it far away from here. I'm.. I'll gurantee that it won't bother us. You guys are safe.." Eddie's voice started dying out.. Annie screamed at her brother, with her tears falling down on Eddie's face. "You had to be reckless, didn't you?!" Eddie closes his eyes, looking extremely exhausted. "I'm.. I'm sorry.. I.. had to do something.." Eddie opens one of his eyes and looks around at the group around him. "... I wanna tell you. I wanna tell you why I wanted to help Alec so much. He didn't do anything for me.. But it was more that I did something to him. The reason why he locked himself up was.. because of me." Alec's Mother joins in. "W-what are you saying?" Eddie coughs and uses all the strength he had to continue.. "... I was the first one who picked on Alec. Because of how different he was from the rest of us, I did it for only a few days.. But I didn't mean to hurt him in anyway. In fact, I was actually trying to be friends with him. Because of how different he was from everyone, I thought that it would be kinda cool to hang out with him.. But then other kids started to follow me and my actions. They started picking on Alec too. Eventually everyone started to.. and he couldn't take it. Now, I'm trying to redeem for what I've done wrong. And if I succeeded, I hoped I would be able to be friends with Alec.. Because I admire him." Annie stares at Eddie, in a traumatized state. "... That's why you went through so much trouble.. Trying to help that boy..?" Annie closes her eyes, crying endlessly as she embraces Eddie tightly. "Oh.. Eddie!" Eddie looks confused. "What's wrong, sis..? Why are you crying..? Why are you so sad..? ... It'll be fine." Eddie smiles with sastifaction. He then looks around at the group. "You guys.. I'm counting on you guys.. Try and help Alec out as much as possible.. Hopefully you guys.. can be friends with him. Because even if he might act weird.. I don't think he's such a bad person.." Eddie closes his eyes one last time.. "Don't worry about me.. I'll be.. fine.." The scene becomes silent. Only the sound of rain dropping is heard..


End of Prologue

When started as a simple short trip in order to help a boy, ended in a great tradegy that affected everyone. Eddie gave up his life in order to save the town from a strange monster. But.. rather then it being the end for Eddie, it was in fact only a new beginning that was made from this loss.. It was the beginning of the real journey.
___________________________________


A week has passed by since then. Everything returned back to normal in the small town of Whitbon. On a certain day, Eddie's friends get invited by Alec's mother for a small discussion. But..

In Shineside City, outside of Aspen's labortoary.
"EGADS!!" Aspen rushes out the lab, looking crazy. "OH DEAR, OH DEAR!! This is not good!! Not good at ALL!!" Aspen runs around all the over place. Literally. "Where, where, WHERE is that experiment?!! How'd it managed to escape!?! Oh, what am I gunna do?! If I lose that Chimchar, so much research would be lost! Oh dear, oh dear!! What am I gunna do that?! Oh.. If only I had assistents that could help me at a time like this." Aspen jumps. "Wait!! I know!! I could ask those kids from Whitbon to help me!! They were nice enough to save from those malicious creatures! Perhaps they can help me out in this crisis!! Then it's settled! I'll head to Whitbon and find those kids!!" A passerby walks by Aspen, making a strange face. "... Why is he yelling?" Aspen rushes off. "Onwards!"


Chapter 1 - Out of this World
The group is seen heading towards Alec's house. They are having a small conversation along the way.

Echo was walking with his left arm entangled in with bandages and a scar on his right cheek shaped like a vertical line due to the creatures attack . He looked at Tony very angry about what he had said . " Does it look like we're OK! I broke my arm from that things attack and Eddie's dead!"Echo yelled at Tony in a very brutal fashion . " Just because you didn't get injured doesn't mean that you can have the nerve to ask if a wounded person is alright!". Echo then slowly calmed down and continued walking thinking " I don't care if I need to break every single bone in my body I'm going to destroy the rest of those vermin once and for all!".
 
(ooc: Try not to mention "too" much about Eddie's death (think of it as more of a traumatizing event) - or anything from the prologue for the sake of the story.

I'm gunna let the others post first before I advance the story, in order to let everyone catch up.

And again, the prologue shouldn't be too concerning. Keep that in mind.)

Kurt had completely ignored what everyone else was saying. His mind was in his own mindset while everyone around him was talking. He clenched a Coca Cola bottle in his left hand and took a big swig from it. In his right hand he held his old bag that had a broken strap. Kurts eyes grew wider as he eyed Alecs house. He hadn't been there in a while. The others seem to carry on with their conversation as Kurt moved to the front of the large group.
 
Raffine was still very shocked about what happened. She tried not to think about it too much as it was too much for her mind to handle. Ash she took a look in the mirror she noticed her face was a bit red. "Now thats in poor taste." She said as she was annoyed by it. "Oh la-ti-da, we can't just sit here all day." She said starting to get impatient. She took a glance at Alec's house and had a cold rush coming to her. "Ugh, whats this feeling?" She wondered as she saw Kurt coming toward the group. She quickly snapped back into sense and greeted him. "Mr. Kurt. where have you been hiding?" She she asked.
 
(ooc: I guess I have to start advancing the story now before this RP fades away.)

Suddenly a young boy carrying a large bag filled with mail is seen running past by the group. The young boy has short brown hair, wearing a clean white t-shirt with brown overalls. He has plain ol platform shoes. This is Klick, the mail deliverer. Klick slows down as he passes by the group. It happens that he is old friends with the group. The group thinks that Klick is a little bit annoying. "Oh, hey guys! Haven't seen all of you for a while.. Whacha ya been doing these days?" Klick exclaims childishly. "Me? Aw.. It's been real busy, I have a stack load of mails I gotta deliver. I dunno why but the mail industry gotten alot more active! Whitbon's just the beginning - I gotta make a stop at Shineside city. Then at Flinton City.. Then at Lilac City. Then Pazlily town. And then Amberge city. Gotta make a stop at Endonut city too. And I even have to go to Snowlake village, in these clothes too! The nerve of it all.. And I'm not even finished yet! I have to go to Aquafalls, which I don't even know where it is.. Apparently it's in the ocean, which is awesome for me as now I gotta swim. Overcliff which is located on top of Master Mountain!! And then.. *gulp* Gravewich.. which I heard was haunted.. J-just g-great." Klick makes an annoyed face. "Jeez, I'm practically going to have to travel the entire region of Farbe!! That's ridiculous! Agh.. It's gunna be really busy for me. I wonder why I'm the only one who delivers mail. How come no one else does anything around here.. ?!" Klick coughs. "... Sorry. Am I being a bit a annoying? Am I? Pardon me. It's just kinda nice to see you guys again. Where's Eddie by the way? Is he not feeling well?" The group stays silent and ignores Klick's mention of Eddie. "Ah, well.. Where you guys heading off to?" The group explains on what they're doing (excuse me). "... Oh! Your gunna go see that Alec kid? You say he's finally coming out his house? Well.. About darn-o time! That kid's been inside for way way too long! That's not healthy. He needs some fresh air outside, ya know what I mean? Ah, well.. Anyway! Speaking of Alec. I think I'm supposed to make a delivery at his house. So I guess we're heading there together." The group and Klick eventually arrives at Alec's house.

Meanwhile, inside Alec's house.
Alec's Mother is seen knocking on a door. "Alec..? Alec, sweetie? ... Are you still sleeping? ... I suppose I shouldn't expect to get an answer from you. ... Have you played with your *new friend* yet?"

In Alec's room.
Inside the isolated area, it was rather clean and spotless. Around, a small blue sheeted bed was seen. There was a blue and red carpet on the floor, in the very center of the room. An average television was placed against the wall on where the door is. On the opposite wall, there was a small wooden table that had a white computer on top of it. Beside the computer was a red capsule ball. Sitting in front of the computer, there was a young boy with black spikey hair, still in pajamas that are striped with blue and yellow patterns. He was bare footed and his hair looked like a mess. This.. is Alec. (The protagonist.)

Alec's Mother can be heard from outside. "Alec. Did you forget your promise? Today's the day you finally come outside.. remember? Don't worry. You shouldn't be scared. There are a few friendly kids coming here to play with you. I'm sure you'll get along." Alec leans back on his chair, staring at his computer screen. "... ... ..." Alec just stayed quiet as usual. Alec's mother ignores his silence and continues. "So! You better stop acting so lazy and get out of that room now!" Alec yawns, then rubs his nose. Alec stares at the capsule red ball. "... ... ..." Alec kept quiet as he got up and took off his pajama shirt..

Outside of Alec's room.
Alec's mother starts to get upset, as she continues to knock on the door. "Alec..? You.. promised.. remember? Please.. don't upset me. It's terrible to break promises - especially those you made with your mother, Alec." Alec's mother started losing hope. "... ... ... Alec?" Alec's mother sighs and turns away. "... I knew it. He's not coming out." Alec's mother walks away. But as soon as she took a step, Alec slowly opened the door - with his head peeking out like a small curious child. His eyes look incredibly shy and timid, though really he was actually annoyed at the time. Alec's mother notices Alec and gets a surprised look on her face. "A-A-Alec..!! You.. You.. You.." Alec's mother studders. She shakes her head and snaps out of her shock. "I.. that face! I haven't seen that face for so long!! It's.. so strange seeing you like this. It feels like you've returned after a long trip.. but you were always here in the house." Alec blushes as he slowly comes out of his room. He is seen wearing a striped red and yellow shirt with a blue vest slapped on top. He's wearing short blue jeans and red running shoes. He's holding onto the red capsule ball tightly in his left hand. Alec's mother makes a sad looking face with a joyful smile. "I'm so glad.. I never thought you would ever come out! Oh.. Look at you. I nearly forgotten what you looked like. You look so much like your father.." Alec's mother places her hand on her chest, sighing with relief. Alec scratches his head, looking ashamed and embarassed. Alec's mother starts crying. "Oh.. Alec." Alec's mother approaches Alec closely.. Suddenly, knocking noises were heard. Alec's mother turns around, with a look of perception. "What?" Klick's voice is heard from outside. "Special delivery for..!!" There's a small pause. "Er.. Guys.. How do you pronouce this name..? You don't know? You just call her Alec's mom? *cough* Erm.. Special Delivery for Alec's Mom!! Also, you have some visitors here to see Alec!!" Alec's mother wipes her tears and leaves, looking back at Alec as she goes. Alec thinks to himself.. "... ... ... What am I doing..?"


Outside Alec's house.
Klick is seen knocking on the door. Eventually Alec's mother opens the door, having a small hopeful face. "Yes?" Klick takes out a letter for Alec's mother from his overfilled bag. How he managed to get the right one is somewhat mysterious. "Here you go ma'am!" Alec's mother politely takes the letter from Klick. "This..?" Alec's mother turns her attention to the group. "I see that you're all finally here. I apperciate for you all coming. It's really wonderful.." She seems to be quite happy and cheerful. Klick walks back. "Ah, well! I gotta get going! I'm done for Whitbon.. Now I gotta get to Shineside and.. everywhere else!"
 
As Raffine turned to see Klick the mailman she gave a deep sigh of annoyance. Great, its HIM again. She thought in her head as she heard him say "Oh, hey guys! Haven't seen all of you for a while.. Whacha ya been doing these days?" Raffine began her response. "Well Mr. Klick I've been training my pokemon for quite a while now, and now I'm seeing...you." She said as she began wondering when Alec would come out. Damn I hope he comes out soon. Its not polite to keep a lady waiting. She thought in her head as she ended becomeing so annoyed with Klick she was tempted to trip him over. As Klick left she saw Alec emerge from the door. "Mr. Alec! My don't you look nice." She exclaimed with pleasure.
 
Tony noticed that Klick had a bag on his back and before he could run off Tony grabbed hold of it stopping Klick " ermmmm Klick you still owe me that fiver remember....mate ".
Klick manages to break free from Tony's grasp and runs off " na na better luck next time " Klick shouts.
Tony then turns to face Alec's mom " hi by the way ( notices Alec ) oh so thats Alec is it ha ha ".
 
Echo turned around when he heard that Alec has came out of his house he turned around to see the boy with a blue vest and said in a rude way. " So your the kid that Eddie told us about , I expected you to show up ". He then grabbed his damaged arm and sat down on a smooth rock relaxing for about three minutes then tossed a patch of grass at the ground then said " So what are we going to do now guys ?". He tossed up his baton and sent out Jumpy who playfully grabbed and twirled the baton with glee then finally sat down on Echo's head and rested glad that his trainer and best friend was safe.
 
Alec looks away, looking awfully embarassed. But in truth, he was quite annoyed for leaving his room. Alec's mother turns around and faces toward Alec. "Oh! Alec!" Alec's mother looks at the group, then back at Alec. "See these people? They're going to be your new friends. I know.. how difficult it was for you to make friends in the past." Alec makes an annoyed face, looking as if he was just insulted. He squeezes onto the capsule ball tightly, looking a bit traumatized from some of the words his mother said. Alec's mother continues, ignoring her son's expression. "But.. I suppose that doesn't matter right now. You can start over. I'm sure these children will get along fine with you. They're quite nice.." Alec squeezes the capsule ball even tighter. He starts trembling. "But.. it's not.. ..." Alec's mother makes a worrysome glare at Alec. "Huh? What's wrong.. Alec?" Alec takes in a breath. He wanted to scream.. but managed to keep most of his voice locked inside. "This isn't what I want!" Alec's mother acts surprised from Alec's attitude. "A-Alec!" Alec swings his right arm, as a sign saying to get away. "It's not what I want!! I don't need friends! I never needed friends!!" Alec's voice rises.. Alec's mother moves back a bit, looking stunned and speechless. Alec continues, with his voice getting louder and more agressive. "It was never about this..!! It was never about..!! I just!! I just..!!" Alec is completely traumatized. The cause is unknown. Due to his state, Alec suddenly runs away, dashing by everyone. Alec's mother tried to stop Alec but hesitated in fear. "A-Alec!!"

Alec runs past Aspen, hitting his arm. Aspen spins around uncontrollably. "Wuwawawawawa!!!" Alec continues to run away.. Alec's mother and the group runs up to Aspen. Aspen slowly begins to stop spinning. "Wuaagh.. Wha.. who am I again? Owaah.." Aspen collaspes and falls to the ground. "Ooh.. when the saints go marching in.. I hope to be in that number, when the saints go marching in~ Argh.. Aaugh.."
