"Sit down then, and maybe it will all make sense to you at some point as I speak." She let her Nidoking and Nidoqueen sit near her. She slowly spread some extra antidote salve on them and continued to speak. "When I was only eight years old, my parents ate a killing natural poison. However, I wasn't sad for a few minutes before my brain clicked to poison making." Her eyes stared at the remains of salve on her hands. "Instead of crying, I made poisons and made my way into life. My tears are poisons, and thus they are a curse to have."
 
"I see.., what is your secret ingredient? In addition, why do so many people are interested in using such toxins in their possession. What I heard, your poisons won't kill the host, why is that?" I asked in somewhat curiosity. Skarmory, who was still roughed up from the fight earlier, retreated to a nearby tree branch. Tentacruel was resting in the cool River, relaxing among the current.

When I first heard of her, I thought she was just an expert poison maker who loves the attention of people begging her for poisons, but now, I know A little bit more of info about this woman.
 
"There is no secret ingredient other than a salty tear." She slowly brought the salve bottle back and sat it down in her bag. "My poisons prolong or even heal the life or someone diseased or dying,in a practical way. As for the reason they never kill, you already heard the reason." Her body slowly moved towards her bag to show a bottle. She handed it to him with a slight caution, "This poison is the one that killed my parents, and it is completely natural." For a minute her nidoqueen wanted to go and hit the man for being so decieveing. She pat the females head and the pokemon relaxed. "Who are you? If you don't mind me asking."
 
I examined the bottle of toximous liquid. It moved in an unfamiliar fashion as I tiled it left to right. Quickly, I took a glance at the two pokemon with her. The Nidoqueen seemed relaxed, but the Nidoking seemed angered over something. Perhaps how I look.

"Sigh. I hate peoplewho judge people on how I look, but who cares?" I thought. I shifted my gave to the woman, who asked about who I was.

"Okay I'll tell you. My name is Kendoksu Hiromoto, an Ex-Assasin, I think you should have known that. MY parents died long ago, and I sheltered at my master's residence, training. I slowly, but effectively, mastered all the arts of cornering, the assassin's technique. I preferred not to use them frequently, using up most of my stamina. So I really on my own other skills or my pokemon,"

"Although, I quit my assassinating jobs after an ambush. The client was really a member of the drug lord's gang. He almost got me killed, but as usual, I escaped the attack. I tracked down the client, and killed him, but that was my last murder. Yes, my life does sound violent and evil, but that's how I am," I finished, taking a slow breath of air right after the explanation.

Although, I did here other noises besides mine. There where voices ... human voices, and there where nearby. I could have realized the noise when Skarmory gave me the "funny feeling" look.
 
"Nice to meet you Mr.Hiromoto." Her hands took the toxic bottle back carefully, placing it in her bag. "I never took you for what I didn't know, and I don't like to be a closed minded person. I hope we may be aquaintances in the future, maybe even friends."
 
"Hmm... Well, I don't really have much to do now that I quit my old job. So yeah, I guess that could work out nicely," I spoke, agreeing to her offer."But you can first help me seek out the people who are speaking not too far away from here,"

The noises were starting to irritate him, not knowing what they were. Skarmory came down from it's treetop retreat, slightly more relaxed. Tentacruel slowly hovered towards me, giving me the look that it's ready to continue.

OOC: My appologies for the sloppy post ^^:
 
[OOC: You may post a form, MariaJet.]

Though Kurogane allowed himself no audio indication of amusement, the laughter in his emerald eyes increased as Ryo approached the others. This is unexpected--especially from one who trains Pokemon such as Metagross and Salamence. The warrior glanced at Ryo's Pokemon. I wonder if this happens often. After a moment of silence, Kurogane bit his lip slightly to prevent laugher, turning away from those present. To any, his appearance would indicate indifference and calm.

At Kurogane's side, Scizor's expression seemed to betray more confusion than amusement. Pausing, the bug-type turned inquiringly to its partner. Feeling Scizor's gaze and recognizing its unspoken question, Kurogane composed himself and answered quietly, "Don't worry about it, Scizor."

Though still not understanding the situation, the scarlet Pokemon seemed to accept the given answer and asked no further.
 
"That's the reason I've been hiding the best I could from them. I suppose we shoudl at some point seek them out." She took a deep breath, standing up from her sitting position. Her nidoqueen and nidoking kept from hitting or destorying anything in response. "Time to go and find who they are, eh?"
 
"Yeah. I think we can find them if we continue down this path, we may be able to find them," I suggested. Tentacruel had already gone ahead, eager to find out the group, and perhaps fight them. Skarmory began to flap it's light pair of wings and disappeared into the foggy air. Perhaps he went out to scout?

"He'd be good on his own...," I thought to myself, following Tentacruel
 
She followed Kendoksu with the interest of looking as well. Her curiousity sometimes and had been proven mostly on poisons. However, the ideal that meeting new people would help is strange. "Your Skarmory is trained well, where did you catch him?"
 
Salamence and Metagross had continued laughing for a good five minutes. "I hope you've laughed enough, now." I said glaring at both of them. They had stopped but the laughter in their faces was well overexpressed. I grunted and looked away. "Metaa Metagross." {Ok. we'll stop. Hiff.} Metagross mumbled. "Sala. Salamence Sal." {Yes. Yes. We should. Hehe.} Salamence tried to control himself. "Agh. This is really embarassing. And to think I could had trained the both of you." I snapped a little. "Salamence. Sala Sala." {Yeah. You were a softy.} Salamence said. "Meta Meta Meta Gross." {Aw. Don't say that. He may be a softy but he's a skilled trainer.} Metagross explained. "Salaaaaa Mence." {Oooookay. Whatever.} Salamence said.
 
l, his past is a bit ... difficult to explain, but I'll try to. I meet Skarmory near Mt.Pyre, a foggy, rumored haunted mountain. A contract was placed on some unfamiliar fellow named Derioto Makashi. I was about to reach his home until I ran into a wounded Skarmory. He had bruises coated around his body, even for it's steel substance. The bruises were soon identified as wounds from another pokemon's beak. As far as I know, the only thing that can leave such damage to a steel pokemon is another Skarmory. Everything else is a bit blurry," I finished.

I quickly then slowed down my pace in motion when the voices where getting louder and more clearer. I then noticed grunts from other pokemon, similar to the one of a Metagross, another steel pokemon. Well, it's about time to discover this mystery, as I reached the end of the path and found a group of other people and their pokemon.
 
Neko stared dumbly at the trainer and his two Pokemon.

'Umm....what?'

She then looked down at her Pikachu and Eevee. Eevee was currently rolling around on the dirt, laughing and Pikachu was trying hard not to laugh. Neko sweatdropped. 'Okkk....' Neko turrned her head rather quickly when someone came out of the bushes behind them. "Who are you" She demanded imediatly, her expression turning serious.
 
At the sound of approaching footsteps, Kurogane turned slightly toward the source, the amusement vanishing from his eyes, though his expression revealed neither surprise nor distrust. After briefly studying the newly-appeared trainers and their Pokemon, Kurogane's gaze shifted to Neko as she spoke. Being that she had already questioned the others, the male trainer felt no need to. However, Kurogane addressed Neko quietly, simply saying, "Calm down."

Returning his glance to Kendoksu and the others, Kurogane smiled slightly, though his eyes remained piercing and serious. Beside him, Scizor shifted slightly--almost imperceptibly--into a more defensive stance.

"Innocent trainers going off out of the forest, I guess I disturbed the peace." Tsukiko sighed and looked at Kendoksu taking a deep breath. She could feel eyes penetrating her, as if to see who she was. "Hello, my name is Tsukiko. As for the rest of my name, that should probably be secret until we leave this forest." Her two pokemon nodded, handing her something she had not noticed. "Three pollen poison ingredient to cure pokerus and cancer..." She muttered, though they heard most of the sentence. This wasn't easy.
 
"You seriously don't know who I am? I thought I was quite popular around these parts. Oh well, my name is Kendoksu if you must know," I replied to the one they called Kurogane. "Oh yes, and this is Tentacruel, my other pokemon although disappeared just recently. He should be arriving sooner or later...,"

Suddenly, a bird-like shadow crept onto the ground, slowly increasing in size. I shifted my gaze towards the sky to see Skarmory, diving towards me. Giving a low sight, I side steeped out of the way. Skarmory however, succeed to land gracefully onto the ground.

I then turned to the other steel pokemon with Kurogane which appeared to be a Scizor. Skarmory as well stared at it with curiosity. Then I turned to Kurogane. "Your Scizor. Where did you get it?"
 
[OOC: ^-^;;]

"It's a pleasure to meet you--human and Pokemon alike."

Though his tone was polite, an air of eerie calm surrounded Kurogane as he continued, "I believe I've heard of both of you, though I don't believe we've had the honor of meeting before."

Raising one hand and lightly grasping the black strap that crossed his shoulder, Kurogane retained his quiet smile as he replied to Kendoksu's question, "As for Scizor, here? Well, it's a bit a of secret . . . Though, I will say that I've been partners with him since he was a Scyther. I evolved him myself." Kurogane tilted his head slightly, his manner still unconcerned and friendly as he asked, "What about you? Can't say I've seen many Skarmory or Tentacruel in these parts. Skarmory, especially, are becoming increasingly uncommon."

Unmoving, Scizor steadily returned Skarmory's gaze, though in a manner less curious.
 
OOC: Oh, sorry about that.

BIC: "I see. My Tentacruel was found in the river not so far from here. Nothing unusual. Skarmory's history is a bit different however," Then I turned to the one they called Neko and her Eevee. That kind of pokemon is very rare around these parts.

"Sorry for the rudeness. Where did you get your Eevee?" I was very curious on where everyone got there pokemon today. Skarmory then began to flap it's wings wildly away from the group as I awaited her answer.
