Ancient Dynasty; A Viper's Promise

[Baker's Bulbasaur]

JJ who was lost in thought, suddenly aruptly turned to cona again and gave a weak smile
''OH don't worry about me, i'll be fine....'' he said quietly 'i'm more concerned about what the heck is going on! I mean, we come here for an innocent tournament, and next thing we know, POkemon are going crazy, attacking there own trainers, or any trainers and pokemon they see......and i have a feeling it was something to do with that wierd noise....I trust you all heard that too?....''

He turned to face his Taillow who wa gaping at the pidgey and flying left and right, obviously very impressed by it {Dude like.....}
''Taillow..'' Jeffery interrupted ''are you ok?''
{me? duuuuuude i'm fine, totally, trust me man, the weathers great, the surf is up and i have never felt better!}

Corsola who had been listening to the conversations since being released from her pokeball, started jumping up and down
{daddy daddy!, can you please tell me whats going on?! im getting really tired of being the only one in the abyss!} it said sharply, but with an obvious treakle if fear, at it's daring to talk to her daddy like that

''Not now sweetheart, besides, it's nothing to worry about, all I need you to do, is keep winning those pokemon battles!'' he winked a her and picked her up. She stared at him for a moment before a smile broke onto her face
{No problem daddy....I am your strongest pokemon after all, im better looking then all the others!}
Taillow took a moment to turn away from the pidgey to face the pink pokemon
{like, dude you have a seeeerious attitude problem} he said matter of factly before turning back to The pidgey to engage in discussion.

JJ looked at the surrounding people, chain avery and cona, and couldn't help blirting something out that he was dying to say, but just couldnt hold in any longer
''Does.....anyone think that uuuum, that, Valen.....guy had uuuuuh, anything todo with this?'' making extreme effort to keep his voice in a tone that suggested pure suggestion, rather then right out accusingly, although it was true, at this point, JJ was pretty much dying to have a reason to hate Valen, because truth be told, Valen hadn't really given a huge one as of yet....yes he had been rude, but he hadn't done enough to allow JJ the right to speak so badly of him.....

''Only, you know, he did seem a little suspicious...don't you think? i mean firstly, he gets taken away by those police officers and then just randomly shows up out of the blue, with no explanation. He spoke darn out rude to me, he seems to be glaring at everyone and observing them for some reason....I jus think he has something to do with this!'' he said this last bit with a slightly faster tone and raised voice, he was trying to stay calm, but there was too much on....embarassed, he ran a hand through his blonde hair
''anyone have an idea of what to do next then?'' he said with a frown....

OOC: Meep! Popped in to say that I am starting school again today! So, my first class is about to start, and I shall return in about an hour to check-in and perhaps post.

Public Speaking ish the first class up! I'm kinda looking forward to it. >.>

Anyway, BB, great banner! It is rather cute. I like Psyduck. And the Trainer Card is nice too. The background on it makes me think of some of the hills around California. o.O

 

[Alter Ego]

OOC: Aww, that Psyduck in your banner is cute, BB. ^^ And yay for your T-Card too! Come on, it's got both Cradily and Cubone on it, how could I not like it? XD Nice work on the frame/colour scheme of the card too, not to mention the background.

Anyways, I'm just going to make a little post here before I walk the dog...

IC:

Kachiko nodded solemnly as Reina told her that she could come and watch too, the little Mawile immediately walking over to Valen as well and observing the proceedings with extreme concentration. When the topic changed to how to revive the boy however, the little steel type's face immediately brightened up, her mouth curling into a smile.

{Ohh! I got an idea!} she called out, {Papa has these funny leaves and powders and stuff that he gives if you get lots of ouchies!} the Mawile grimaced, {They don't taste good at all and they sting and stuff, but they got rid of a real nasty ouchie I got, and I think papa said that some of them wake peoples up...} an expression of extreme concentration spread across Kachiko's face, {Umm...I don't remember which one did that, though. Maybe I find them for you and you see, yes?} the Mawile concluded, quickly proceeding to rifle through the boy's pockets while Reina responded to Rosairie's question, the steel type finally finishing her search with two small bags, presumably containing some kind of powder, a small collection of light brown and rather sturdy looking roots, and a few bundles of aromatic green leaves lying in a heap on the pavement.

{Umm...that is all I could find...} the Mawile stated, {Maybe something of that could help papa?} just then, Kachiko caught sight of Rosairie, and more importantly; two pok?mon she recognized.

{Ohh! Hennaaa! Funny spiky person!} she called enthusiastically, waving at the two before lowering her voice to a careful whisper, {Papa is very sick and needs to sleep, so we must be veeeery quiet...} she placed a very strong emphasis on the word 'very', {Do you know about these funny powders and stuffs?} the steel type asked, tilting her head and gesturing towards the collection of objects on the ground.

Meanwhile, the Cubone, who had been studying the scene in silence, finally decided to walk, or rather, limp over to the rest, wincing slightly at each step.

{Could I...maybe help somehow?} he suggested timidly, directing his question mainly at Tabanasi and Reina as they seemed like the people in charge. Granted, the ground type had no idea of what on earth he could possibly help with, but even with his headache, he was experiencing a distinctly bad conscience about just standing there.

 

[Charon]

{ooc| *eats BB* Crobats! My ultimate favourite!
I'm working on a T-card right now... to show my Emerald team. I was being a geek and playing it at lunch with my other geeky friends from science/history class. My normal friends were looking at me strangely, but no fear!
Also... what fire types can you catch on Emerald? I kinda need one...}

Rosairie's forehead creased at Reina's harsh manner, but she said nothing. Instead she nibbled her lip anxiously as Kachiko spoke, and waited for Henna to translate for her. When the magmar was done, she stepped forward and inspected the leaves. Silence watched her darkly, his fur spitting sparks onto the ground around him. Rosairie wasn't happy, and he couldn't tell why. His back arched defensively, and his eyes flicked from Reina, to Valen.

Henna smiled at Kachiko. {Rosairie'll find something to help. Her own Papa - well, he's neglectful, but he'd hardly let his only daughter go out into the world without knowing some first-aid.} She rubbed the spiked collar around her neck, and watched her trainer think. Rosairie often pretended to be oblivious to people's feelings; after all, it made life so much easier, not worrying about whether people liked you or hated you. However, Valen and Reina was not a situation she could dust over that easily.

Finally, the girl spoke. She straightened out her skirt, tugged it down a bit, and put her bag on the ground. She unzipped it carefully, trying not to make too much noise, and pulled out an instant ice-pack, the same sort she had handed Eliadon earlier, a hand towel, a bottle of water, and a roll of bandages. She looked to Reina.
"I need some help..." she paused, and looked at Valen again. The blood was beginning to make her feel queasy. The colour had rushed from her face. "I think the leaves are Skullcap, a relaxant... so we need to... scrunch them up, get up the juices. Waft it in front of his nose, the scent..." she trailed off, cupping a hand to her mouth. Silence rubbed his spearing head against her hand, and Rosairie gained confidence. "It might ease the pain if he wakes up. We need to get rid of this blood... wet half the towel, mop up the caking stuff, dry it with the... dry end. We need to find the lacerations and bandage them, and if he has... any on his cranium, we'll need to compress those, wounds on your head don't stop bleeding. Uh.... I guess we'll use the icepack for his bruises, too..." her words died off, and she rose to her feet. "I'm sorry," she muttered apologetically, "I'm not much help. I don't know what the others are for."

[Light_Azumarill]

OOC: I'm back! And I'm kinda hungry... I always get hungry during the first classes I have. ^-^ Thanks BB, I'm not too worried about it, I've taken three other speech classes here, and I'm friends with the instructor's daughter, so that makes me feel more comfortable around him. Our first speech is on a "Pet Peeve" we have. XD

EDIT: OMG! It's Page 18!!! XD *waves* Hello Page 18!

I shall dedicate this one to cupcakes. Because I like them. And I kinda want one right now.


Reina
-------------

"Thanks Kachiko! These will probably help lots," Reina replied to the Mawile, staring with interest at the objects that she had managed to procure. Tabansi looked at the Cubone that had asked to help.

{Ah well, I'm not sure what you can do. Perhaps we shall wait until after we figure out how we can use these plants and powder,} the bug pokemon said with a nod, clicking his wings softly.

When Rosairie had finally decided to try and talk a bit, Reina wasn't sure she really was going to have anything to say worthwhile. She wasn't about to tune her out though, as she had little experience in the area of healing people. She also didn't want another lecture from Tabansi. After the girl had practically explained how to do everything though, and brought out more things to help them, Reina's jaw almost dropped.

"Uh... not much help?" Reina repeated, still feeling utterly surprised, "Look, I hate to admit it Rosairie, but that was better than nothing. I didn't know you were so... smart." This was a forced compliment. Reina was grateful to the girl for helping her out, but she wasn't about to start hugging and laughing with her. She was one to judge based on appearance, but Rosairie hadn't said anything mean to her, and so Reina had really no ammo, or reason, to act mean back.

Tabansi was not about to waste time; Valen had been out of it for quite a while now, and the best thing to do would be to get him up and going again. He grabbed the leaves and then turned to the Cubone.

{Well, here's your chance to help out Cubone. We need to smash and squeeze these leaves, and there's no better person here to do that than you,} the Heracross said, handing the skulled pokemon the leaves, {Reina has a plate... Reina?}

Reina quickly got out one of the plastic plates she kept with her to eat off of when making meals for herself. They were plastic so that they couldn't break in her pack. She handed it to Tabansi.

{Here, smash them up on this plate, and then one of us will wave it under his nose,} Tabansi finished, handing the plate to the Cubone as well. He looked back at Reina and Rosairie.

"Okay, so... the towel," Reina grabbed the towel, and then the waterbottle, she glanced up at Rosairie with a bemused expression, "Boy... I wouldn't want to be the one to tell him that you were the one who saved him. Well, I guess I helped, but you had the supplies." She got one end of the towel wet, and began to wipe away the now drying blood from Valen's messy arm. It was a bit hard though... his Arbok was still coiled around him, and Reina didn't want any of the water dripping on the thing and waking it up. She had to keep checking to see if the water was dripping off the end she was holding. Tabansi noticed this, and decided to ask upon some help.

{Mm... Kachiko,} Tabansi asked the Mawile, {Can you watch your Arbok friend? To make sure that it doesn't wake up? We wouldn't want it becoming upset and accidentally biting one of us.}

"Um," Reina said, after wiping much of the blood away, "I'm not really sure how to put bandages on. Just... wrap them around him?" She really didn't like looking so helpless, but what else was she to do? She couldn't act like she knew because it would be obvious that she didn't.

 

[Alter Ego]

{Smash and squeeze.} the Cubone repeated dutifully, {Okay, it shouldn't be a problem, no it should not. Just let me get my-ack!} the ground type let out a small grunt as he tried to take a too hasty step in the direction of the Aggron, into whose body his club was still wedged. The Cubone took a thoughtfull pause, scratching his head, it would take ages for him to fetch the bone the convential way with his leg hurting like it did, what was that thing that the tribe elders had been teaching again? Balance your molecules with the molecules of the universe, purge your senses, and see the spoon...for some reason he always tended to see mushrooms, though. Oh well, it was worth a shot, the Cubone figured as he shut his eyes and raised both of his little paws in the direction of his club, his expression one of pure concentration as he did his best to call on whatever hidden power he possessed. For a few moments, absolutely nothing happened, but then, the upper end of the bone suddenly started twitching ever so slightly, the motion steadily growing more and more forcefull until at last, the club dislodged and came hurtling towards its owner on its own accord, its motion ending smoothly in the Cubone's hand. With a contented smile on his face, for this was one of the few times when he had managed to pull of the trick successfully, the Cubone turned around and took up dutifully crushing the leaves with his thick club, the dish beneath moving ever so slightly with each blow, until at last the leaves had all been ground into a fine powder, a small pool of aromatic juices forming around them.

{Oh, no need to worries, cool bug person.} Kachiko replied, {Sei-sei always sleeps long, and she snores real loud too, but I is looking after her if that helps.} she conclued, dutifully walking over to the sleeping Arbok's head and cradling it slowly while quietly singing a little lullaby to keep her from waking.

 

[Mika]

ooc- @_@ Uggh. I hate midterm exams.... They drain the life outta rpers. T____T

I'll post, please kill my math teacher and his darned test. ;o; not Mika

 

[Light_Azumarill]

OOC: Ah, don't feel too bad Mika, attendance has been a bit low today anyway. ^^; However, as you wish... *kills test* *bakes in an oven*

Mmm...! Roast Test! =D

I'd like to wait for Charon to post again before moving on but... I guess I can post something of value.


Reina
------------

{Ah, well then, we should have no trouble with, erm, Sei-sei,} Tabansi said to Kachiko, taking the pokemon's nickname for the Arbok as its real name. He nodded and then returned his attention to the hard at work Cubone, who had made a lovely powder-like mess of the leaves he had been given. The Heracross looked over the Cubone's shoulder at the juices surrounding the powder, like some sort of professor would when studying a student.

{Good good,} he said with an excited tone, {Now we must place this under his face and allow him to breathe the aroma coming from it. You can rest for a moment, I shall perform the rest while Rosairie and Reina fix up Papa's body. Thank you very much.}

The bug grabbed the plate of smelly mush with the end of his horn, which he discovered had the perfect shape to hold a dish in, as long as he bent forward a bit. He then clicked his wings for a moment and then took off from the ground. He was still a bit wobbly, but he steadied himself quickly, and hovered in front of Valen's body, tipping his horn down to where the plate was just under the boy's chin.

{Come on... smell the leaves,} Tabansi said softly, holding the plate a little closer.

OOC:

Grr, couldn't post this morning a'cause me Mom's alarm clock wasn't set, allowing her to sleep ten minutes late, which had a ripple effect on everyone in the house. @_@

Actually, I tried, but I ran out of time anyways. So yeah. o.o



IC:



"Hmm?" Avery said, once JJ had spoken up again. She tilted her head and looked at him blankly for a moment. Sure, she was pretty much still mad about what had happened to Diamond, but she wasn't about to give up her optimistic train of thought just yet.

"You think Valen made Diamond act that way?" She asked, pausing again for a moment before continuing. "Well, I guess he can be a weirdo from what I've seen so far, but you must admit, the world is at least two-thirds full of weirdoes. Besides.. Well.. He has a Steel-type. That cute Mawile." Again, Avery paused in her speech, this time looking down at the ground.

"There's no doubt in my mind that that Mawile would be acting the same way as Diamond, because she too is Steel. Valen wouldn't do that to his own.." Avery trailed off when she noticed the Graveler from earlier, just like JJ had. Indeed, the Graveler was no longer seeking to tear the limbs off things, but seemed to be walking at a leisurely pace up the street, barely noticing the Trainers as it walked by.

Odie let out a 'Meep!' at the sight of the Graveler, reminded of the Rock-type's fierce expression from earlier. He instantly crouched low to the ground, hissing protectively. It was all in vain, though, for the Graveler merely continued right on by.

"Right then. I forgot what I was going to say." Avery asked, right after JJ had asked what everyone was going to do next. "Um, I don't know. Cona, where do you think we should go now? I still want to find out who's behind all of these happenings with my own eyes."

As his Trainer ended that statement, Odie made sure the Graveler was really on its merry way, only standing up straight again once he had done that. The Umbreon then nodded firmly, darting a few steps forwards before walking in a circle around his Trainer.

 

[Ibuberu]

OOc-
Yeah,I had to stay back way late today to like,get the classroom ready in time for Chinese New Year.>_<
On the Feebas side,I was incharge of the decorating.XDD


Oooh,and Bulba wanted to make a Feebas banner.o.O
*squee*If only you had a good picceh.X3

Ic-

"It could've been Valen and his evil comrades!"Cona waved one arm in the air, making sure to keep a tight hold onto the Marshtomp with her other hand. Though, the girl had to admit, Valen didn't really look like the type to pull off such a feat. But she just had this gut feeling that he had something to do with it, one way or the other.

"Or..atleast I know that he's got something to do with this whole thing."she shrugged, now both hands around Krystal.

{Ouchies. Don't touch me so hard..}the mudfish moaned,this was all so confusing. What his friends were talking about Diamond and Kachiko. Could it have happened to him? But...he was a Water type, wasn't he?

"Like I said! We have to go to the East, that's where the chanting and Pokemon growls were coming from!"Cona repeated,pointing once again to the same direction. This time she had no intention to wait for Avery or JJ to consider. If they wanted to go and find out what the chants were, they would follow her.

{Like,what? If you have anything to say, I suggest you quickly hack the subject out!}Kuner stated, he had no idea how this Flying type was going to teach him who to speak slang. Perhaps if he just hung out with the Tailow a tad bit longer...

"Come on, Kuner."the girl said simply, petting her Pidgey on the head so that he would turn away from JJ's Tailow.

{You whipper snappers move too fast for my taste.}he complained, deciding that he might feel better if he flapped his wings to get the aches and pains away. Kuner then hopped off his trainer's shoulder and staid air-borne, like what Tailow was doing at that moment.

"You can follow me if you want. Though, if they get their mind-controlling powers into your head..."Cona stopped in mid-sentence, not really knowing how else to continue. So she just started walking.

 

[Charon]

{ooc| ARGH I AM SO ANNOYED! *bites people* MY FRIGGIN' GAME FILE HAS CORRUPTED! AFTER SEVEN HOURS OF PLAY! RAAAAWR! I EAT CHU NOW!
Anyway, I'm really annoyed. They don't make fakes like they used to...
I have a catridge with Red, Yellow and Blue, Zelda, Dr. Mario and Pitmen on. That's... from 1996. Still works. Still saves. Still got my little Mew safely tucked away... GOD DARN YOU, NEW FAKE PEOPLE THAT MAKE THEM BADLY! Yes. Hmm.

Poor Mika. History's terrible... our lessons are fun because our teacher is insane (not to mention obsessed with catapults) but our homework is always dull. What subject/era are you doing? I'm doing Nazi Germany, if you get set any hiliarious boring essays as homework you are free to have mine.}

Rosairie flsuhed pink. "B-bandages? Oh...I forgot..." she rumaged in her bg, and pulled out some cotton wool. "Wounds longer than your finger, or deeper than you fingernail, they'll probably need stitching. We shouldn't make too much of a dressing, otherwise it'll take ages for the Nurse to get our bandages off. Just wrap the bandage around, tight enough so you can't move it easily, to keep germs out." she paused, and dropped to her knees by Valen's head. She leant over his body, cringing at the close proximety - and the stink of blood.
"These wounds... wounds that are small but bleed a lot..." she pointed to one on his forearm, "they'll need a pressure bandage. So... get some cotton wool, just a thin layer, and put it over the wound. The wool will absorb the blood, clot, and then it's weight will cause the wound itself to clot... anyway, then tie a bandage around the cotton wool, quite tight," she demonstrated, her adept hands moving quickly, " and... that should do it."
She wiped her brow with the back of her hand. She had gone ghostly pale.

Rosairie did not like the sight of blood in the slightest. Neither, it seemed, did Silence. He was shivering feverently, his coat sparking and shimmering with trapped energy. Rosairie grabbed him and pulled the Jolteon closer. Underneath his jagged coat, Rosairie could feel his heart fluttering.
She looked at Reina.
"Don't tell him I saved him." she said, her voice deadly serious. I don't want him to think he owes me anything, okay?"

Henna watched Tabansi with interest. {You're doing a good job,} she mumured, before glancing at the cubone. {You too. Are you one of Rai's? I thought he only had three pokemon...}
Her eyes travelled to Seirini's sleeping form. {What about his abdomen? Where there any wounds there?} she asked, narrowing her lazy eyes.

 

[Alter Ego]

OOC:

OOC- :| *Gaspen*

Okay, that's taking it a bit too far onto the spam side. Please stop making remarks that short.

But a test, you say? And a History project? Evil it ish...evil! XO *Smites history project with the red herring of quality* Begone demon! Begone!!!

...

Dang, didn't work. Oh well, it was worth a shot...and sorry about your Emerald game dying on you, Charon. Meh, that's precisely why I prefer mine legitimate, sure, the price is high, but at least you don't loose hours of play time, that and you get the feelgood experience of being on the right side of the law. Anyways, I can tell you're upset because...

You just wrote 'Rai' in your last IC! *Points out Charon's unscrupulous mistake* It's in Henna's comment to the Cubone. Meh, I'll pretend that she said 'Valen's', though.

IC:

The Cubone looked up at Henna's comment, {Valen's?} he echoed, taking a short while to puzzle out the Magmar's meaning, {Oh, you're asking if I am one of this great hero's companions!} he concluded at last, gesturing towards Valen before shaking his head, {Unfortunately...nope, although...wouldn't it be grand if I was?} the ground type added, his eyes lighting up a bit with excitement, {Our battle against the rock eater, it was the stuff of legends and epics! I'm sure even mistress Ada would be pleased to hear that I was travelling in such esteemed company! Tales of the great hero and his faithfull sidekick would spread all the way back to my clan!} the Cubone took a few steps on the spot out of sheer excitement, ignoring the pain {I'd...finally be able to come back...come back...as a man.} his voice was thick with emotion at the last sentence, tears of joy beginning to well up in his eyes, the ground type was fairly quick to shrug it off however, calming down a bit, {But first we'll have to revive the great hero, yes?} he added, nodding firmly, {It wouldn't do for him to die tragically in my arms when our journeyes have only just begun, no it would not.} and with that, the Cubone turned back to watch the proceedings as Reina brought the plate with the smashed herbs underneath Valen's nose.

As the fumes began entering his nose, the boy soon started to stirr, attempting some kind of movement from his current position but not really managing much more than a little shuffling. His head was still throbbing quite a bit, despite feeling like it was in one piece, and his vision was still too blurred to really make much sense of his surroundings, although that was probably just due to the disoriented state his mind was in at the moment. Something which Valen was aware of however, was that most of his body, particularly his arm, was aching, and that there seemed to be someone in his presence. He attempted to say something usefull but, lacking the words for the situation, he merely groaned a bit, slowly bringing up his left hand to his head, as if to make sure that both were still properly attached.

 

[Light_Azumarill]

OOC: Goodness... my history teacher was going all serious on us. XD Seriously, like he started talking about how we'd better not have excuses for missing class and how we'd have severe penalties for late things and talking in class. I don't have to worry about that stuff, but geez... way to kill the mood. I suppose he just wants to be up-front with what he expects from us, but I find that the people who do those things in excess usually do them even when the teacher's tough about it. -_-; Oh well, he seems nice enough aside from all that.

Mika, hope you get some free time soon! Don't go crazy!

And Charon, 'tis a shame about the Emerald game. Thus the reason I don't buy counterfeit things. My brother has before, and he's had similar experiences. You never know with those things, it's like a gamble.


Reina
--------------

Reina looked for a moment at Rosairie with a slightly annoyed expression. Sure it was quite a bit of blood, but Reina really didn't need another person going unconscious on her. The girl seemed to be holding her own though, and Reina nodded at her advice on how to do the bandages.

When Rosairie told Reina not to reveal her part in Valen's recovery to the boy, she frowned. "Hm, well, I can't promise that. I mean, Tabansi, Kachiko, and this Cubone have all seen you help, so I can't promise that they won't tell him anything," she had this urge to tell the girl that she couldn't promise she wouldn't tell him either, but her conscence kicked in, and she shook her head, "Oh I'll make sure I won't tell him." She went back to trying to remember what Rosairie's advice was, and what to do with all of this bandage stuff.

Tabansi looked at the little Cubone amusedly, {Great hero? Him? Well, I must admit, what he did certainly merits a badge for courage.}

"Crazy is more like it," Reina said, now trying to awkwardly wrap a bandage around Valen's worse cut with some cotton wool below it.

{You were going to fight it too, remember?} Tabansi retorted, feeling as if he had this argument in the bag.

"Oh yeah...," Reina said quietly, now remembering herself saying it, "Did I do that?" She had finished wrapping up the big one, and was now moving on to the other small cuts.

{Yes, as I figured you would,} the Heracross said calmly, {You know we could have all gotten killed trying to do this.}

"Well those crazed pokemon would have killed us too! What was up with that?! What kind of a tournament does that to its competitors?" Reina said, a tone of anger in her voice.

{And it seemed that only some of the pokemon were affected. Like Pixie, Phoebe and I were not... but pokemon like Aron, Aggron, Skarmory, Shuckle, Donphan, and Quagsire were. Pichu wasn't... I saw a normal one. Perhaps it was by type?} Tabansi thought aloud, wondering what it had been exactly. It was really bothering him, and he hated not being able to understand something.

It was then that Valen had begun to wake up. "Oh good, he can groan," Reina said as he made a bit of noise, "And he can move his left arm... and someone better check to see if his head's alright." She glanced at Rosairie but then realized that the girl wanted nothing to do with Valen's rescue, and so rolled her eyes figuring that she would be the one to do it. Reina seriously hoped that Valen didn't think that the tightening feeling of bandages being wrapped about his arm was someone trying to hurt him, seeing as she didn't feel like getting punched out by a disoriented boy. Her gut still hurt from that guy's punch. Once in a while a sharp pain would sting her stomach area, and there was a constant, dull aching in her mid-section.

"Well, I'll check your head P- I mean Valen- after I get your arm fixed up," Reina said, almost slipping into Kachiko-mode again. This going back and forth with talking to Kachiko and then talking to Valen was really messing her up.

 

[Charon]

{ooc| Ho ho, I'm getting a refund. Yay. I'll just have to go and buy one from a shop with my kennel wages.}

At the cubone's words, the old magmar found herself smiling. {Great hero, eh?} she looked to Rosairie and Reina. {Looks like in this case, the hero himself needed some heroines.}
The boy stirred slightly, and Henna knew Rosairie would take this as her cue to leave. The magmar bowed at Tabansi and the Cubone. {It was nice meeting you.} she turned tail and padded back to her trainer.

Rosairie got to her feet as Valen groaned. She brushed the dust off her bare knees and smiled. "Make sure he doesn't writhe and bang his head against the floor when he wakes up, okay? He'll be fine."
She grabbed her bag off the floor and strode off, Silence skittering by her heels. The jolteon was back to his usual anxious gait, and he followed Rosairie like a plusle after a minun.
Henna fell into stride beside her trainer.
{You okay with that? Not getting credit?}
"Yeah, Henn. It's fine. It was... a good deed. That's all."
They turned out of the alley, heading back to the battleground.
Inwardly, Rosairie was bitter. Reina had been so rude - didn't she have a scrap of thanks to offer for the saviour of her boyfriend. The blonde girl couldn't figure out why; was it the way she dressed? Her accent? These were fickle things... Certainly, Reina dressed like she was borrwing clothes from her brother, but that was her decision. If she wanted to be a boy it was up to her. Why did that make Reina - and Valen - hate her so much?

OOC: *Nods* good on you Charon, legit is the way to go. Mind you, you were quite lucky to get a refund. By the way, concerning this...

Lol! That's a typical Rosairie right there. XD Heh, she's going to keep up the boyfriend/girlfriend analogy to the bitter end, isn't she? ^-^

*Sigh* I've no time for an IC today, though, I'm afraid. Stupid reduced computer priviliges...although we've incorporated a new system with my Physics lessons and the workload is now spread across the whole week instead of just Saturday, so if I study and work hard like a good little boy then I might not be absent for such a long time once the weekend begins. Yay for that, I guess. ^^

{ooc| Yes, I shall be legal. It'll cost me ?20 more, but hey, at least it'll work.

And yeah, Rosairie knows it winds Valen and Reina up, so she'll keep at it. xDD She's a nasty piece of work in that sense. She'll dig at you with sny little comments...

But... reduced PC time? Oh noes! Could you...sorta... I dunno... maybe study at night? xDD I do that. 10 o' clock last night I was writing an essay for German class. What fun. I got a B, but it doesn't count towards my final grade so it's okay.
Anyway... You're our leader, you saw what shambles we were in without you! I guess it cannot be helped.}

IC -
{Like dude, you wanna learn to talk like me? duuuuuuuuude no effort needed! you seem like a cool dude, plus, your a narly flying pokemon, it gets no better then that. just do what I do} the flying pokemon finished with a wink and he flew backwards and landed on JJ's shoulder

Jeffery who was stroking Corsola while listening to what Cona was saying turned his head slightly and smiled at Taillow before looking back at Cona.
''well......'' he said uncertaintly ''I suppose your right, we really should go on, but we should be extra careful, we can't be 100% certain that there aren't any more pokemon that have gone crazy, we still need to find out for certain what exactly made them act that way in the first place, although i'm pretty sure it was that wierd chanting......but if it was, why has it stopped, and who or what was doing it....and even more importantly....why?''
He looked back at avery and then down at her Umbreon which looked quite confused, he gave it a smile and a wink to reassure it before looking back up to avery ''what do you think we should do?'' he asked, desprate for more opinions. Suddenly his eye met Chains, who he had actually forgotten was present, due to his lack of speech
''You seem to know a lot about this area...'' he said, unable to keep a faint treackle of suspicion out of his voice ''I take it your here for the tournament?''
