Tessie, instantly copying Ashley's actions, revealed her note, taking it out of her sweater pocket, then extending it out towards the strange woman.

"Um.. Yeah.. Would you mind explaining?" Tessie asked, again, softly.

The woman took Ashley's letter in her hands, then Tessie's, inspecting both of them for a second or two before nodding affirmatively.

"Very well, and you are invited, too, I presume.." The woman said, nodding to Jinger. "Let's see here.." The woman trailed off, turning around and then briskly walking away, leaving the trio. After several moments, she returned, and in her arms were three genuine Pokemon Eggs, all of them colored differently, and appeared to be showing signs that they'd be hatching soon.

"Each of you take one, they're all for you." She said.
 
OOc-
Niahahah....I forgive thy Plushie,but only with I can also control Clay..no apparent reason.XD
*stares scared at Bubu Plushie*

Ic-
Jinger nodded as Clay asked her whether she was invited as well,taking out the letter from her pocket to show.

"Now,each of you,take these pokemon eggs,and they'll hatch!But,only if you promise one thing."Clay told them,holding out the eggs,each with its own unique color.

"What's the promise?"Jinger asked,taking a glance at the one which stood out the most,the pink and brown egg with blue star-like patterns on it.

"That,using these pokemon,you try and defeat the Teams.."she lowered her voice to a whisper,the girl barely heard what she said.After thinking over,or not.Jinger proceeded to grab the pink egg and nod.She always wanted to kick the sorry behinds of those nasty Teams,this was practically killing two Spinda with one Bazooka!Or something like that.....
 
OOC: Yeah, sowwee Charon...*Offers turnip of sorryness*

And oh shootsies, I was planning to make a little scene with Ashley's first pok?mon...ah well...

IC:

Ashley blinked as the woman dissapeared out of view just after she had promised an explanation. While waiting for her to come back, the girl absent-mindedly allowed her eyes to travel across the room once more, briefly stopping on a lanky and rather scruffy looking youth who had just entered, the expression on his freckled face indicating that this was an alltogether new experience for him. Ashley's attention soon shifted away from him though, as the woman from before returned, carrying...Ashley almost felt like rubbing her eyes at this point. The woman was carrying three pok?mon eggs, their colorfull shells all looking like they were ready to give way to the pok?mon inside. And what's more, the woman even claimed that they could each have one...their own pok?mon.

"Oh, thank you..." she said, beaming at the old woman as she chose her egg, a strangely cold one with a delicate snowflake pattern of varying shades of blue and white on it, holding it tightly in her hands despite the somewhat numbing effect it had on them. The girl continued smiling, now at the egg, as she waited for the shell to crack...too enthralled by the thought of finall having her own pok?mon to even think about speaking...or the consequences that would follow from this new charge...

She looked up as the woman explained her condition however, biting her lip. On one hand, she had promised auntie not to get involved with the teams...but...she glanced at the egg again, feeling it tremble slightly in her grasp as the creature inside struggled to get free...it was a pok?mon...it would be her pok?mon. Her very own little cute creature to look after, one to keep her company...and she had kept her fingers crossed when making the promise...

"Allright." Ashley said at last, looking up at the woman in front of her and nodding, a determined glow evident in her eyes "You have a deal. Mrs...erm, what did you say your name was again?"
 
Defeat the teams with these? Tessie repeated to herself.

She quickly forgot about that thought, reaching for the egg she found the most appealing--a light violet egg with pale yellow hexagonal shapes patterned on it. She nodded slowly, hugging the egg close to her, pondering what kind of Pokemon could be inside.

Reaching out with one hand, she stroked the egg's side with one finger. She didn't care what it hatched into.. She knew deep down that she was going to like it.

"Th-Thank you.." Tessie whispered, awed that she had just recieved an actual Pokemon Egg. It was.. Just so unbelievable. Now she could finally have someone to talk to without freezing up or annoy because she spoke too softly. How she wished she could just run away with this Egg.. And keep the Pokemon inside as a friend forever, away from this city.

But best of all.. Now she could honour her father's memory. She could actually start battling now!

"We'll do our best.. Right?" She said, the last word directed towards Ashley and Jinger.

Alex stood by the doorway, looking concerned. The people in this pub were all very ferocious looking, and he was beginning to panic. He glanced at the note again; it had arrived that morning in the beak of his grandmother's delivery spearow. His family had replaced postmen for pokemon long ago - how could that gabbling old man, whose knees knocked together when he walked and arms were covered in a thick dusting of liver spots, find her out on the fields?
He turned his attention back to the letter.
Ever wanted to have a chance?
Ever wanted to hit the big time?
If so, come to The Bike on 26th November at 7:30.
That was all it said; no signiture, no reason how or why, no nothing but that simple, scribbly scrawl! His grandmother was certain it meant pokemon, though; what was it she had said again? 'Trainers aren't as common as they used to be, my lad. They're probably getting desperate now, what with the leagues in this continent refusing to have any hand in Barrel City's growth.' At that point she had tutted, for Grandma had ben training her Fido since she was a little girl.

Alex peered around. There were a group of girls and boys over to the left, he noticed... with pokemon eggs! They weren't tropius eggs, which were brown and green and sprouting leaves... but they definetly weren't chicken eggs. He wandered over, feeling nervous, and jumping at small noises.
 
"Clay..." the old woman replied curtly, "That is what people call me. At a time they might have called me something else, but in the service of the Archangles I have always been known as Clay..."

"Clay..." Ashley repeated, once again remembering the old clerk's words, Ask Clay, she knows..., the girl didn't have time to ask anything however, as the egg in her arms suddenly began trembling violently, a small crack appearing on the very top and beginning to spread in all directions until the whole surface of the egg was riddled with tiny crevices, the cold that emanated from it increasing in magnitude as the shell finally gave away, shattering into countless tiny particles and leaving the creature within out in the open. It was undoubtedly the strangest little pok?mon Ashley had ever seen; Its body seeming to be almost triangular in shape, with two stubby, black feet down at the bottom and two equally stubby black hands sticking out from the sides. The outer edge of the pok?mon's body was covered with what seemed like yellow fur, followed by a thin triangle of red, within which lay the actual face, black in colour just like the arms and feet with an almost abnormally large looking mouth, lined with sharp, white teeth, and two small, light blue eyes peering up at the girl who was holding the pok?mon. It was a Snorunt, and undoubtedly the cutest, most precious and adorable Snorunt in existence as far as Ashley's opinion was concerned.

{Mama?} the ice type asked after a while, peering up at the girl who was holding it, something that looked like a small smile creeping up on its large mouth.

"Ohh...it's so cute!" Ashley exclaimed, unable to contain her emotions as she hugged the Snorunt tightly to her chest, spinning a full turn on the floor out of pure happiness.

"Oh, we'll definitely do our best..." the girl replied to Tessie's comment, tears of happiness evident in her eyes as she beamed first at the girl, then at the Snorunt in her arms, and then at the girl again "I swear, I'll do everything in my power to make this city a better place for our little sweethearts." she hugged the ice type again, ignoring the cold as it hugged her back, apparently acknowledging the girl as its new mother, despite the striking difference in appearance.
 
Tessie, completely enthralled by her Egg, took quite a bit of time to notice another boy walking towards, them.. He looked sort of like one of those guys that you'd meet on a farm. This whole setting obviously made him very uneasy, which reminded Tessie a bit of her own actions.

She was about to ask him something, when her Egg made a sudden movement, her attention once again completely focused on watching the Egg. Now that she was watching it, again, though, she couldn't help but notice that it was just a tad wider than Ashley's and Jinger's.. But why would that be?

Tessie half-listened to the happenings around her, concentrating mostly on her Egg, which was obviously preparing to hatch..

She barely noticed Ashley's Egg hatching.
 
"Representative of Archangels,at your service.I like those looks you're giving me,bet you'll all do real good!"

"You were the few lucky youngins' chosen by our boss to help restore Barrel City and whatnot to its original peace!Probably because of your bloodline or maybe something else,I'm not the one who makes the rules around here."she told them,before taking a glance around to see whether any other hopefuls had arrived.

Jinger could only nod as the woman carried on about representing some organisation and all that,stroking the egg in her hands,feeling its warmth as she hugged it.It was going to be her first pokemon,she knew she'd love,and,judging by the look of its shell,a pretty one at that!It started to shake in her hands,was it about to hatch?
The girl took a glance at Ashley's egg as a Snorunt proceeded to hatch out.

"Wowies!!Such a cute pokemon you have there,Ash!!"Jinger smiled.

"Hey,you!"Clay waved her hand to a young boy with spikey,blonde hair, who looked a little older than Jinger to walk towards them,he seemed interested in their eggs.
 
If there was ever a time that Tessie couldn't care less about what was happening around her, that time was now, for her Egg was now shaking violently, in very much the same manner that Ashley's egg had shaken. It wasn't long before a crack had formed along the side of the Egg, eventually spreading throughout the entire Egg's surface.

Within moments the Egg had split open, shards of egg-shell falling to the ground, revealing a scaly, black skinned creature that was tightly coiled up in Tessie's arms. As the creature began to uncoil itself, Tessie realized that it was a lot longer than it looked, forcing her to set the creature on the ground.

Ah, but once it had uncoiled, Tessie instantly recognized the creature as one she had seen in many a text book. The long, sharp fangs.. The yellow polygon patterns that plated the serpant's body in several places, which stood out from the dominating black scales.. The sword-like tail.. Her Egg had hatched into a Seviper, and at the moment she couldn't be happier.

"Oh.. Oh gosh.." She mumbled, watching in fascination as the Seviper opened its eyes, inspecting every inch of Tessie from the ground with pure curiousity. After some time, the serpant slithered closer to Tessie, wrapping itself around her feet, and snuggling close to her.. Indicating that he indeed thought that Tessie was his mother.

"H-hello?" Alex stuttered, cathcing sight of the eggs in the hands of the others.Three girls. All of them looked like they knew what they were doing."I got a note saying to come here... that's right, isn't it?" he asked, cringing at how weak and pathetic his voice sounded. Alex always got embarressed around girls...and boys... it came with growing up on your own. You got used to the same old people again and again.
His eyes fell on the eggs, then on Clay, the important-looking women who seemed to be in charge here. "Are you giving those eggs out?" he asked, in his heavily accented drawl. It came out more like: 'Ya're a-giving 'dem eggs out?

{ooc| Yay buttsecks. ??; No. Get out. *throws pineapples at him*}

OOC: Eh? o_O Erm, Charon...there are only three girls there. XD

IC:

Ashley barely managed to tear her eyes away from her own pok?mon until Tessie's egg hatched as well, at which point the girl watched the Seviper come into light, slowly peering at its surroundings before coiling up around Tessie's leg in an affectionate manner, clearly thinking, much like Ashley's Snorunt, that the girl it had seen was its mother.

"Oh, that one's cute too, Tessie." she said, beaming at the Seviper "Congratulations." During her time spent as an assistant pok?mon psychiatrist, Ashley had learned that Seviper's tended to be aggressive and untrusting by nature, often lashing out at anything they percieved as a treath without warning, but this one was still a little baby...and surely not even a snake would bite its own mother? Ashley looked back at her Snorunt again, this time a bit thoughtfully, as she gently held the little ice type in her arms, seemingly incapable of letting it down for even one second. The Snorunt didn't seem to mind one bit though, peering curiously, if rather shyly at its surroundings and attempting to take in everything it saw, occasionally pressing itself a bit closer to Ashley when it found something to be a bit too scary.

"By the way..." the girl said, not really sure if anyone was listening "These cuties need names, don't you think?" he smiled at the Snorunt in her arms, taking a closer look at the way it moved. Now Ashley might not have been an expert at this, but somehow it struck him that there was something distinctly female about the ice type, it was most probably a girl. "Wonder what I should name you, my dear..." she said softly, stroking the Snorunt's head affectionately.

She briefly looked up as a strangely accented voice became audible and inquired about the eggs, noticing the boy she had seen earlier. "Yes, I think she does..." she replied, her face still locked into a preternal smile, "But I suppose she should speak for herself."
 
{ooc| *edit'd* I hate coming late to roleplays, everyone's already getting aqquainted and it makes me confused.}
 
At Ashley's comment, Tessie finally tore her gaze away from her Seviper, who was now refusing to let go of her leg. It was only then that she truly gazed at Ashley's Snorunt in awe, noting how cute Baby Pokemon could really be.

"Oh.. Ashley, your.." She paused, searching her memory. "..Snorunt.. It's so cute! Congrats to you, too!" Tessie beamed, feeling very happy at the moment. Although she was sure her leg would fall asleep soon, she didn't care..

Now she actually had a Pokemon!

"Oh.. Yes." Tessie added at Ashley's comment about naming the newborns. "They do need names.." She said, looking down at the Seviper thoughtfully.
 
"Bet you're one of those we chose as well right?"Clay asked the boy with the strange accent as he strode up to them,ignoring the hatching of Ashley's and Tessie's eggs,seen them once,you've seen them all.

"Phooey!!"Jinger frowned,all her egg did was wobble back and forth in her hands.Ashley and Tessie had a Snorunt and a Seviper,and what did she get?One which refused to get out!

"Come on,you can do it!!"she encouraged the little one in the egg,it seemed like it had probelms of hatching.

After saying those words,the egg suddenly shook violently in her hands,Jinger struggled to get a good grip,not wanting the egg to fall onto the flloor.Pieces of the egg cracked and dropped onto the floor,and,in one mighty push,a Feebas appeared in the girl's arms.

{Mommie!!Hoot dang!Now tha' was some pushin' I had ta' do!}she said in a strange accent,smiling and hugging the first thing she saw,Jinger.

"What?!This..this is my pokemon?"Jinger called out in shock,the Feebas,it was...not say ugly.But the colors of its scales,and the way it looked.Suddenly,the girl remembered something she had been taught long ago.The girl changed her attitude immediately,placing her beret onto the Feebas before hugging it.
The Feebas was surprised at her mother's first reaction,but soon realised she had just been shocked,placing the thingy she had on her head on hers,and hugging her back,the Feebas smiled.

"Yes!Of course they need names!!"Jinger said nodded her head vigouriously as the Feebas continued to nuzzle against her.Now,happy to join them on the topic of the hatchlings.

"Mine's not one who looks the best,but...one of my friends taught me to remember that its the inside which counts."she told them,stroking her Feebas affectionately.

"I'll call you,Beauhin!"Jinger concluded,not really caring with it was a male or female.

The Feebas,now named Beauhin,cocked her head.

{Ya' mean me?I'm Beauhin??Hoot dang,tha's a nice name!!}she smiled,hugging her trainer as the girl took the beret off her head to place it back on her own.

The boy looked slightly peturbed, as pokemon emerged from all around him. He was more than used to pokemon hatching, but not to these strange, leafless beasts that were burtsing free of their egg shells.
He turned back to the women - Clay, wasn't that a man's name? - and summoned up his own courage. "Can I have one of those too, please?" he asked. Cun I 'ave one o' 'dem too, Pleez? - Alex was beginning to feel strangely away of his accent... or maybe it was their accents? It was confusing...
 
The Seviper continued to peer curiously at its surroundings, ****ing its head to one side at Beauhin's exclamation, then promptly releasing Tessie's leg, switching to the other leg, then coiling up around that one. It wasn't making any sounds, instead choosing to observe everything, as well as stay as close to Tessie as possible.

"Chako." Tessie whispered, smiling down at the Seviper. "That's your name. I dunno, it just sounds right. Don't you like that name?" Tessie asked, reaching down to stroke the Seviper's head. The creature seemed to make a low purring sound in response.

"By the way, that Feebas looks kind of cool, Jinger." Tessie mumbled, standing back up straight.

It was then that she noticed the boy from earlier, asking Clay for an Egg of his own. Ah, so he had been invited, too.. She observed him from her spot, not sure what to make of 'em.

Ashley tilted her head at Jinger's remark concerning her pok?mon, taking a look at the water type.

"I dunno..." she said at last, still continuing to smile, "I think it looks kind of cute, especially with that beret on." she stroked the Feebas' scaled head a bit before returning her full attention to the Snorunt she held.

{Hoot dang?} the ice type repeated in confusion, incapable of understanding a word of what the fish pok?mon was saying but finding the words a bit intimidating nonetheless, once again hugging her mother a bit tighter, the girl stroking her gently to reassure her.

"Not the bravest fighter around, are you my dear?" she asked, laughing softly as she hugged the Snorunt, "Doesn't matter...we'll work it out...we'll work it out..." she took a pause, "You're so cute...I think I'll name you...Kula." she said at last, smiling, "I've always thought that that's a very cute name, and it's easy to pronounce too. What do you think?"

{Kula...} the little creature repeated dutifully, a smile spreading across her face {Kula is happy with whatever name mama gives her!} she concluded, hugging Ashley again, which caused the girl to break out into another fit of cooing.
 
OOC:

Okay, peoples.. Plushie ish going to bed now..

I probably won't be on that much in the morning..

*snoozeh*
 
"Hmm..of course its cute and cool!!Its my little Beauhin!"Jinger smirked,glancing as the Seviper chose to coil and uncoil itself between Tessie's legs.

"Chaki...that's a nice name too!"the girl exclaimed,before turning to Ashley.

"Yup,definately one we chose."Clay told herself as she looked into the boy's eyes.She quickly scurried away,holding another egg as she came back.The egg was red in color,and a noticible flame pattern was marked on its shell.

"Promise to defeat the Teams,with this youngin' over here,and I promise it'll hatch into your very own pokemon."she whispered,placing the warm egg into his hands.

"Kula sounds right too."Jinger nodded her head in approval of the name,proceeding top pet Beauhin.

{Hello dudes,don' tell me ya' jus' got outta your' eggs to??}Beauhin asked the Snorunt and Seviper,assuming that they had just hatched as well,calling the other two female humans 'mama'.
 
Alex took it warily, and tucked it under one arm. "Thank y' very much, Ma'am." he told her, and shook her hand. His own was rough and and calloused; no doubt from working with tough-skinned grass-types his whole life.
He watched the other girls cradle their hatchlings affectionatly, and felt very much oput of place. Luckily all three of them were all talking together; maybe Alex would be able to sneak away with his pokemon, unseen? He didn't like the sound of 'defeat the teams' - it sounded violent and mean. He crept backwards to the door, and was nearly at the doorway, when he tripped over someone's foot and went crashing into a table of beer. In an instant, people were up on their feet, all shouting at Alex - including a ferocious biker, dressed all in leather, with what looked like a horse's bit and reins in his mouth.
The boy went ghostly white.

{ooc| Gosh, Alex has turned into Zach xDDD}
