XDDDDDDDDDD

That was another priceless image, right there.



IC:



Tessie had only been walking for a few moments before she noticed that the fog was letting up, making it quite easy to spot their destination, even though they still had a few minutes more of walking to do.

There it was, Eastern Drive, its dull brown paint job making it much like the other buildings in Barrel City, however this one was basically arranged like most train stations, the structure setting it apart from the surrounding mini-marts and apartment buildings painted either the same shade of brown, or a black that was slowly fading to grey.

There used to be a policy that everyone who wanted to get on the monorail needed to pay an overwhelming fee, which supposedly went to the funding for Team Joint, once when they boarded, and once when they left.

Well, since that basically repelled everyone except those who really needed the monorail, Team Joint eventually dropped that policy and allowed people to ride the monorail free of charge, turning to other sources for money, particularly mugging.

Now the group was about a block away from the station, and Tessie for one couldn't wait to get there, speeding up a good bit when she realized how close they really were. Apparently the fog had covered it up all this time.

"Come on everyone, Eastern Drive is that building right there!" Tessie exclaimed, gesturing towards the station, while Chako picked up his pace so that he would remain slithering by Tessie's feet, but if he was struggling, he wasn't showing it.

But at Marvin's question, confusion became evident in the Seviper's expression.

{Could you repeat that, please?} He asked, not quite understanding this new accent of the Beldum's, mostly because he really couldn't decipher words in that accent when it was being used in conjuction with a robotic-like voice..

Yayness on your Official Pairing Pete!^^
Thank you Melissi!^^*bows*
Yes,I find it enjoyable to write up summaries,now,like,if only*stabs Spinda with a fork* I could stop my fingers from being so clumsy and deleting the whole post before I have a chance to post it.-_-

Go!Inara!!!XDXD

Ic-

"Oh,finally,thought I was going to choke or something."the girl said aloud,glad that the fog had chosen to lift,so now that their route was much clearer.What made her even happier was when Kayley suddenly called out.

"Great,just a few more steps is all."Jinger smiled as Kayley announced that Eastern Drive was near,pointing to a building as she did so.

{Eh,couldja' repeet tha fer' me??}Beauhin scratched her head with one fin,confused that the mixture of words the Beldum had put together in his sentence.

{Eh,yeah mean..somethin' lika headache?Or...izit a memory.}the Feebas shrugged trying her best to come up with an answer for the Beldum.
 
OOC:

Yibber got Tessie and Kayley mixed up, she did..

*cough*blackmail material*cough*

I have to wait.. Curses..
 
OOc-
Sorry Plushie!!!*takes out blue-cheese sheild*
Please don't hurt me,please don't hurt me,please don't hurt me!!!!!^^;;;;;

Anyway..*points to siggeh*

YEAH!!!RUBY LOOKS HAWT IN THA ONE!!*gets brick'd*
One of the most Franticshippy piccehs in the Saga.Though,just a random fact that it happened right before Ruby got shot down by Sapphire.XD

(Yeah,tha's Popo the Castform...right...there.She's the reason why they got so close in the firs place.^^)
 
OOC: They look like they're going to eat Popo. Run Popo!

IC: Silently John followed behind Tessie, not saying much. He was here only about an hour ago. Not much to comment on. Ring noticed where they were.
{We've been here before, right?} she asked John. He nodded.
Ring tried to sense John's emotions, but all she found was plainness. So John was....
{I'm bored} she said. John sighed. He was bored too.
 
OOc-
You know,it does look like their gonna eat the Castform,but...
*whacks Pete with salmon*

Bah!Just..bah!XD
Don't spoil the romantic 4 seconds.^^

Eh,I might aswell forthshadow too.Not like there's anything other than writing up summaries here anyway.>_>

Ic-

The creature ran as fast as his tiny legs would allow,looking behind his back to see a cluster of no less than three Grimer gaining fast.He was terrified,too many thoughts in his head to think straight.The pokemon froze in his tracks out of fright as the biggest and toughest looking Grimer of them all,most likely the leader of them,since the other two fell back as he swooshed a gooey hand in one swift motion,stepped up to bat.

{Yeah,now we'll teach youse that nobody comes messin' wid us.Ain't that right bozz??}the smallest Grimer sneered,only to get a conk on the head from the one beside him.

{Quiet youse!Can't ya see that the bozz' gettin ready to fry that sucker??}he punched the Grimer on the arm.

The Skitty could hear a certain sound,like a drum beating...no wait,that was his heart.He turned his back to the Grimer,hoping that there would still be a chance if he broke into a sprint,but there was only a wall.It was a dead end.

{Both of you shut up,if you behave,maybe I'll let you keep dis' as a playtoy,who knows?}the gang leader finally spoke,cracking his knuckles,if he..had knuckles that is.

{Look,I am only in the being of here is because my mama and mistress were in the leaving of me here,when they are in the being of getting back,you shall be in the seeing of who is the real...'bozz'.}the Skitty suddenly spoke up,trying to put on a brave front.

{Iz that so??Well...where iz 'mama' and 'mistress' going to 'be in the getting' of here??}the leader snorted,mockingly.

{I'm..}the Skitty backed down,his tail and ears drooping again.

{Not in the sure-ring?}he coughed,shivering as the three Grimer approached.

{Well..ain't that a sad story,I'm sure they'll find you sooner or later-Just not in one piece.}the leader pretended to sound like he cared for a moment,before lashing out towards the Skitty.

{Meep!!!}the Skitty squeaked,dodging the Pound attack in time.

His pinkish fur stood on end as he landed on the floor of the alley,hissing at the three Grimer.

{Okay,you three be in the stopping of this,this minute!!}he ordered,snarling,the three Grimer gave each other confused looks,was this the same Skitty they had been chasing for the past few minutes?

{I am being the pokemon of a very high officer of Team Wrench!If you are in the messing for me,you will get hunted down by my trainer!}the Skitty narrowed his eyes,trying to look as serious as possible.

{You expectin' us ta believe ya?What proof youse got then??}the Skitty frowned,bringing his tail infront of his face,there was a small mark on it,the letter 'W' clearly written,in red.

The Grimer fell back in shock,three banging into each other as they tried to run away.

{We are sorry!!Don hurt us!!}the smallest Grimer pleaded as they ran out of the alley.

A small grin spread itself across the Skitty's face,smiling ever so slightly.{Those acting lessons I see Mistress take are always in the being of paying off.}he let his tail swish back and forth behind him as he strided out of the alley.

Now he only had to find his Mother and Mistress,that wasn't going to be hard,right?

OOc-
Funny how Team Wrench wasn't really mentioned,no?^^

OOC: Like yay for foreshadowing! But ain't it strange how the bad guys always move in groups of three? ^.~ Anyways, Sapphire does look a bit...hungry, when she's looking at Popo in that bit. The 'She's-totally-gonna-eat-the-poor-Castform effect is probably caused by those fangs of hers. *Puts on protective helmet, pulls out red herring, and calls in four nasty-looking Ludicolo bodyguards before Yibber has a chance to unleash the wrath of her salmon*

And Pete...a slight problem with your Porygon's speech pattern. It wouldn't really show outside of writing since the whole point in L33T speak is that the pronounciation would still be the same (E.g. cu = See you), so you'd have to limit yourself to the abbrevation thingies (Such as OMG). Ohh...if that Porygon is going to teach Marvin naughty words it's so going to be in for a big spanking from Ashley. XD Same goes for Neco too, the little potty mouth...

IC:

Whew, finally! Ashley sighed in her mind, picking up the pace a bit more as they drew closer to the Eastern Drive, just a few more minutes of walking and then they'd be there, and the girl and her feet would finally be able to get some hard-earned rest. She had pretty much been walking, running, or standing about ever since she arrived at Barrel City, except for her short respite on that bench, and Ashley had a nagging suspicion that her feet were going to remind her quite persistently of that fact tommorow. For now, the ache didn't bother her too much though, perhaps due to the simple fact that the girl had acknowledged that there would be no rest in sight for a good while yet.

{Repeat?} Marvin echoed at Chako's and Beauhnin's words, {Mar-Marvin dunno' how e' can explain it. He don' have ta words...is, is only a kind o'-o' sumthin', ya know? Kinda like-like, maybe how tha' person...} he nodded towards Pete, {Acted when Ring went offline...is-is that a headache?} the Beldum asked thoughtfully as he heared Beauhnin's suggestions, {Or a memory?}
 
OOC: I dunno, in the real world, I know people who sometimes say OMG.
Other standard words, XD, lol, w00t and n00b.
FORESHADOWING TIME!!!^^
Oh yeah, Titan, you called me by meh uSeRnAmE...Which is meh nAmE.

IC: Meanwhile in some other part of Barrel City....

"Hey Jimmy! Wanna go play Alien Commando 3?" asked a small kid to his friend.
"Sure Fred! Maybe we could have a game or two of Super Soldier X too!" replied Jimmy.
"Sweet!" said Fred. They promptly dashed off to the arcade.

"Just need to get that shield!" groaned Fred, but Jimmy quickly shot Fred down with a grenade.
"YEAH!!" yelled Jimmy as the 'Player 1 wins!' sign came up.

In the cyberspace of the arcade system, a Porygon floated around. It was bored, no-one was doing anything. Then something super happened to it...

Jimmy and Fred were playing Super Soldier X. fredhadn't been hit by Jimmy, and Jimmy was in CRITICAL. Fred changed his weapon to a Power Knife, and threw it at Jimmy's character's neck.
'YOU ARE DEAD! P2 WINS!'
"Aww man," complained Jimmy, "Wanna play again?"
"Sure!"
And they were off again, and Fred was still invincible. He quickly ditched his Pistol, and whipped out a shotgun...

The Porygon felt something. It saw two people fighting, one a great big hulking hero armed with a knuckleduster, the other a small weedy person, holding a bad-ass shotgun.
The cyberworld warped. In the depths of the arcade, a Porygon appeared.

{OMG!} it said. A kid looked at it and screamed.
"Help!" yelled Fred. Jimmy turned round and saw the crisis.
"Aagh!"
{What up XD?} asked the Porygon.
"It's a monster!" screamed Jimmy. The whole arcade was looking at the Porygon.
'PROCESSING DATA-IT'S A MONSTER.....VALID : TARGET-ENEMY : COMMAND-ATTACK :
SKILL-TACKLE'
The Porygon leapt up, so it was level with Jimmy's head. It boosted through the air, and smashed down Jimmy. He collapsed onto the arcade machine's dashboard, unconscious. Fred looked on in horror.
"Help me!" he screamed wildly. The Porygon turned to face him.
'ARTIFICIAL INSTINCT MODE : ATTACK NOW : SKILL-TRI ATTACK'
The Porygon let out a combined blast of fire, ice and electricity. The three orbs homed in on Fred. Luckily only the ice one hit him, and it froze him solid.
"Cryogenics," someone muttered.
{Goodbye XD!} said the Porygon and hovered through the door.

John heard some screams on the wind. He shivered. Ring looked up at him and frowned.
{What's wrong, John?} she asked anxiously.
"Nothing at all," he replied, "Nothing at all..."
He entered the monorail station. And it was empty as usual.

Along the road near the monorail, some bushes rustled. A green and yellow blur flashed through the air and boarded a monorail train.
Neco smirked. Stalking was soooooo fun.

OOC: Poor Jimmy and Fred. Big calactaphyc showdown soon. Neco V Porygon V Ring. Last pokemon standing!

OOC: So much foreshadowing.... X.X I was going to do some too, but I think I'll introduce this pokemon another way....


Kevin
=========

A few more minutes of stuggling and Adeline just gave up on trying to get loose of Kevin's grip. She laid back in his arms and figured that she should mind her mother for once in her short life.

Kevin found himself thinking about how cute Adeline's sleepy face was in his arms, a scary thing indeed. He had hardly ever had such thoughts before... babies must have this mysterious power.

"Aw...," he mumbled as Adeline yawned. That's when something wet and warm hit his head.

"What the?!" he shouted, looking up towards the sky. Up above him flying in the sky was a round, tattered, brown thing with two circular red glowing eyes on its face.

{Sorry down there! You are gettingies wet from me, yes?} the bird pokemon hooted from above; it looked as if it had been in a bad fight lately, his feathers tattered and battered. His attitude seemed to contradict this though. Kevin then realized what had fallen on his head. His eyes became wider and it felt as though he would never be clean again!

"GAH! That stupid pokemon did its business on my head! Acursed Hoothoot!!" the boy yelled frantically, suddenly wishing they had gotten to Eastern Drive sooner so the Hoothoot would have dropped his waste on someone else.

{Ha ha ha! You are very funnies, yes?!} the Hoothoot laughed above him. The bird suddenly swooped down and landed on the frantic Kevin's head with a thump.

"GET OFF ME! YOU STUPID BIRD!" Kevin growled loudly, while the Hoothoot continued to laugh, "You're squishing it into my hair! MY HAIR!" Adeline had woken up since Kevin's first outburst, and was now laughing at the Hoothoot. She thought it a very funny game.

"Where's a shower?! Is there one at Eastern Drive?!! HELP ME!" Kevin yelled to the others, trying to shake the pokemon off of his head. However, the bird pokemon laughed more and seemed to be enjoying having to try and keep his balance on the boy's head.
 
OOc-
Bah!I won't use my Salmon then!!*steps away from Ludicolo*

*loads bazooka with blue cheese*

PWHEHEHH!!!*fires blue cheese at Titan and his evil Ludicolo posse and red-herring*XD

Ic-

"Kevin.Its just a Hoothoot.Don't freak."Jinger turned around upon hearing the boy's shouts.The Hoothoot looked like he had been through a lot,feathers so tattered and dirty.

"And..cute one at that!"she giggled,hearing that the Hoothoot had decided to go about his business on Kevin's head.

"You can just wipe it off."the girl took out a red face towel from her bag(smaller than the one she had given Tessie).

{Ai don know..is it??Ai could try rubbin' yer' head ta' make it feel better though.}Beauhin shrugged at the Beldum.
 
OOC:

Ya know, I guess I could summon my Herbie cookies and protect Titan..

But I owe Yibber one, so nyah. XP



IC:



Once Tessie heard Kevin's shouting, she slowed to a halt and turned around, eventually cracking a smile at the Hoothoot's antics, although she didn't want to comment and make things worse. Besides, Jinger had already decided to help out and give Kevin a towel.

"Heh, I'm begining to wonder if someone in the sky doesn't want us to reach our destination before dark." She whispered softly, waiting for the drama level to go down before continuing towards the station.

Chako wasn't interested in watching the Hoothoot, however, because he was too busy being confused by Marvin.

{You.. You confuzzle me so.} He muttered, gazing up at the Beldum again once Tessie had stopped to watch the humourous scene.
 
OOC: I'm leaving to go to Wales on Saturday, so I may not be able to post at all there. If I can, I'll be sure to post.
 
OOC: Oh, I'm sure we can do alright without you for a little while. How long will you be gone Pete?


Kevin
-------------

"Calm down? Do you have any idea how gourgeous my hair is? I could shave it off and sell a wig for thousands at a high-class shop!" Kevin snapped, taking the towel from Jinger and knocking the Hoothoot lightly off his head to wipe it down. "Stupid birdbrain...," he muttered under his breath.

Adeline looked up at the Hoothoot that was flying lazily above them still, and barked to him. {Hey Birdbrain!} she barked, mistaking Kevin's insult as a name, {Can we play sometime?}

The Hoothoot flapped down lower to talk with her. {Oh what havies we here?! A little girl Houndour, yes? My pleasuries it is to meet you! However, my namies is not 'Birdbrain', my namies is Ranook,} he hooted proudly, though his voice was sounding a bit strained.

{Not Birdbrain...?} Adeline said in slight confusion. Her head was still a little hurt from her earlier encounter.

{Well, you may callies me that if you'd like, yes?} he said kindly, not wanting to hurt the child's feelings. His bright red, orb-like eyes were so large and bright. He acted silly, but there was something about those eyes that hinted towards knowledge beyond his years. It could have been the whole idea of owls being knowledgable... but it might have been something else.

Kevin sighed, "Okay I'm as clean as I'm going to get I suppose. Let's continue. Say goodbye Adeline; we're going away from the sick bird."

Adeline looked a bit sad about that. She liked the bright red eyes of the Hoohoot, and she enjoyed his kindness. {Oh...,} she whined.

Watching them walk away, Ranook decided he needed someone to look after him. He was in bad shape, and needed a safe place to rest. He nodded to himself, and then flapped back up to Kevin and Adeline, and landed on the boy's head again.

"ACK! Stop that! Get off!" Kevin said shaking his head around, but stopping after a few tries when he realized that Ranook had dug his nails into his hair.

{I shall be joiningies you for a while, yes?!} he hooted happily. Adeline looked up at Kevin with a smile. Kevin didn't need words for that happy expression; it appeared this Hoothoot was going to be around for some time. Great.

"Whatever. Just don't tear my hair! And if you need to do your business, then you fly off my head; got it?!" Kevin yelled, frowning. He would have just shooed the bird away, but with its talons in his hair, he might rip up his precious hair while trying to get the bird to leave. Ranook would have to stay for now... and perhaps Kevin would catch it soon. He could use a Hoothoot. They were supposed to be good against weak opponents and opponents with ghost pokemon.
 
OOC: A couple weeks. I might be able to post every now and then.

IC: John stifled a giggle as he saw Kevin tussle with the Hoothoot. Ring found it funny too.
{Yay! He's funny!} she laughed happily, and John smiled. He now noticed that Kevin had the Hoothoot with him.
"Guess he befriended it," said John, with a tint of jealousy after he failed with Neco.
{Are you jealous?} asked Ring.
"Er...no."
{Okay, sorry,} she replied quietly.
Little did they know that Neco was around twenty feet behind him.

OOC: Ah well, I'm sure Alter will keep us going. He can be quite, ah, persuasive. ^-^; Do you want us to try and include you or play for you or anything? Or just wait for your sparce posts when they come?

By the way, in case I don't say it before Saturday: have fun on your trip!
 
OOC: Thanks. We generally go to Wales every time we get a break (my family) i.e. half term summer etc.
As for playing as me, that be very nice indeed. Just don't make me do ANYTHING stupid or against my instinct (which you don't know).

EDIT: I did a read through Showgan and....there are SHIPPINGS??
OMGOMGOMGOMG!^^

I wonder if there are obvious shippings in this...
 
Last edited:
OOc-
YEAH THERE ARE SHIPPINGS!!>D

Started by moi,because I had like,inspiration from Franticshipping!XD
I still need to think up names for the rest of the ships though.^^

I'm sure I could....
AshleyXKevin--Mentalshipping

Ashley's using Kevin as a 'test subject'.And well,both think so differently.^^
All I can come up for now...
Yeah,and like,have fun on your trip Pete!^^

Ic-

"Okay,you are NOT giving that towel back to me."Jinger backed away as Kevin shooed Ranook off his head and started to wipe it with the towel she gave him.

{Ma' name's Beauhin!Nice ta meet'cha,Ranook!}the Feebas on the girl's shoulder smiled as the Hoothoot proceeded to tell Adeline his name.

"Aw..I think he likes you!"Jinger laughed as the bird pokemon landed onto Kevin's head,and this time when they boy tried to shoo him off,the Hoothoot had already dug his talons into that..'gorgeous' hair.
-------

A few streets down from where the group was,the same Skitty trotted down the dark alleyways.Jumping up in fright everytime he heard something,like a trashcan falling.

{When I'm in the being of getting home,I shall be in the complaining of Mama.}he grunted to himself,his search for the Delcatty and girl was to no avail.
 
OOC: First things first; Have fun on your trip, Pete! ^^ Yeah, we can mind the RP for you while you're gone, no problems, just make sure to come back eventually. I won't RP your char though, because I hate messing with other people's characters, but I think I can trust Melissa to control him only within the bounds of good taste.

And on the shipping thing...well yeah, they do seem like the most likely pairing of the lot, ne? Although Mentalshipping kind of makes it sound like they're both escapees from some kind of insane asylum or something. XD

IC:

Ashley couldn't help giggling very quietly to herself as a rather beat looking Hoothoot responded to a call of nature onto Kevin's head before settling down on it, treating the boy like a perch. The boy was of course extremely agitated by all of this, attempting to shake off the owl pok?mon with his usual complaining and flailing routine and snapping at Jinger when the girl told him to calm down, even though she even offered him a towel with which to wipe the Hoothoot droppings from his hair.

Ashley felt guilty about giggling though, as it was true that having your hair covered in Hoothoot excrement really wasn't a nice thing, so she quickly turned around as it started and did her best to muffle the sound, finally managing to force on a straight face at which point she turned around again. The Hoothoot had settled back onto Kevin's head, and looked like it was there to stay.

{Umm...hellos.} Kula called in a slightly timid manner, waving at Ranook, {Kula is the name of I. Nice for little Kula to be meeting you, yes?}

Marvin merely watched, not having been ordered to interact and still very much puzzled by the confused reactions he got from the other pok?mon. Being sentinent sure was tough...
 
OOC: Hopefully you'll see the occasional posts here and there.
Btw, if anyone else is doing anything cool, have fun!

Shippings-

John and Tessie-Nativeshipping. They both are native to Barrel City.
I'll think of some more...

IC: Neco was still twenty feet behind him, hidden of course. And now he was twenty-one feet, and so on, as John walked down to Kevin and his Hoothoot buddy. Ring talked to the Hoothoot.
{Hey there, I'm Ring, who are you?} she asked sweetly. John meanwhile asked Kevin how he got his Hoothoot.
"Hey, it looks like it just..." his voice trailed off as he noticed actual Hoothoot droppings on Kevin's head.
"Never mind."
 
OOC: Well, me controlling John would just be simple things. I'd just make sure that he was with us, that he did reasonable things occasionally. I would, of course, not make John do important life decisions or anything. Ring and Neco seem pretty easy to include. I think all of us can do that a little. Perhaps when you check in on us you can critique how we're doing with John. ^-^

Oh shippings! ^-^ I agree with Alter, Mentalshipping does sound like both of them are crazy. Well, Kevin's crazy. XD And... Kevin can drive her crazy! That's it! =D

Anyway... can't think of names for others... I kinda stink at that. =P


Kevin
-----------------

{Oh hello theries little Kula! You are a lovely pokemon, yes? Such beautiful babies we havies here!} Ranook hooted loudly, looking happily at the baby pokemon, {And some that are not babies, yes?} He was looking with his large crimson eyes at Marvin and psychically using Foresight at the far-off Neco.

He looked down at Ring. {Ah, and another beautiful baby! I shall enjoy watchingies you all grow, yes?} he said happily, a distant memory of his hometown and the young hatchlings that were so playful dancing in his head.

Kevin rolled his eyes. "You Sir, are hurting my neck," he said with frown.

Ranook didn't notice though, and continued looking at the babies and the other humans. Kevin felt annoyed about this; how could he have the audacity to ignore his comment?!

Adeline smiled at the look on Kevin's face. It was clear that he was not used to his complaints being ignored. To Kevin it was clear; how could anyone not want to help him? Especially when he was so great.

"Whatever, let's keep going, shall we?" he said gruffly, wanting to throw dirty looks at the Hoothoot atop his head, but not being able to because of it being atop his head.
