OOc-
Wait...Melissi asked me to use the Ludicolos for protection from the evil/scary Bubu clones.
Gah!!!Woman,do you think that if the Ludicolos liked me,they'd squish the life out of me every waking moment they can find?!XD
Anyway,I can't say I like the Ludicolos.All thanks to Wallace in my Emerald Game.
So...many...Double Team...o-O

I-c
"Bah,all babies are like that."Jinger told John.

"They like to sleep cause they don't have as much energy as us..."the girl shrugged,wondering why she even bothered to remember that piece of information.

{Chako!Okay!I'm Beauhin,yep!!}the Feebas turned back to the Seviper as he introduced himself.

"Oh,I don't think I've introduced you to my cute baby."Jinger held Beauhin infront of John's face.

"Her name's Beauhin,and she's the prettiest Feebas ever,yes she is!"the girl tickled her Feebas as she commented.Beauhin chuckled,hugging her mother.

Dang, I wish I could actually type something now but 'tis hectic this morning.. -_-

Well, see y'all much later!
 
OOC: Pfft...having a hard time RPing right now for some reason. But Yibber, first of all, Alex was the one who came up with the name 'Sierra', not Ashley (XD), secondly, there ain't any more smoke coming from Sierra, that happened a good while back, so I doubt Beauhnin would have any somke to cough at. Oh, and Pete...are we allowed to get more pok?mon later on in the RP, and decide which ones? Because I've got this one pok?mon in mind, Ashley wouldn't get him in a good while yet, but I'd like to make a little foreshadowing thingie for him while I still have it all clearly in mind.

Anyways...

IC:

Ashley took a moment of silence at Jinger's question as she attempted to phrase up a proper answer, "There are plenty of things..." she said at last, shaking her head, "First of all, we've got to sort things out on the homefront. Now I'm not sure how your folks would react, but I do know that auntie Maria is going to have a Miltank when she hears that I've got myself involved in something like this." she cast a slightly guilty glance at the floor, "She...sort of told me not to get involved with the teams in any way. But I've got to help, right?" she asked, looking to the others for support.

"Erm...she's right." Ashley commented at Jinger's reply, shrugging "She's not even a day old yet, it's only natural for her to need her sleep."

Meanwhile, Kula had been watching Chako intently, finally coming to a decision which seemed exciting and scary at the same time.

{Mama...} the Snorunt said at last, gently nudging Ashley by the arm, {Mama, Kula wants down for a moment.}

"Hmm?" the girl asked, immediately breaking out of what she had been doing as she noticed that the ice type had something to say, "Is something wrong, my sweet?"

{Down...} Kula repeated simply, nudging her head towards the floor.

"You...want to try walking on your own?" the girl asked, quite surprised considering how timid the Snorunt had been just a moment before "Are you sure, Kula?"

A flicker of doubt passed across Kula's face at the question, but she soon put on as determined an expression as she could manage, nodding to Ashley.

"Well allright..." the girl replied, bending down and carefully placing the Snorunt next to her on the floor, "Whenever you want back up, just give me a nudge." Ashley said, trying to turn her attention back to what she had been doing previously but finding it very difficult, her eyes constantly flicking back to the little ice type just to make sure that she was still allright.

For a moment, Kula simply stood there on the floor, awed by how much larger and scarier everything looked from there and briefly considering asking mama to pick her up. {No...} she muttered quietly for herself, gathering up her courage {Kula gots to be brave like mama...Kula brave...}

With that, the Snorunt slowly lifted the right one of her stubby little feet, stumbling slightly as she attempted to regain her balance, and taking several extremely tottering steps around the floor before she began to get the hang of how these little limbs of hers worked, finally managing an only slightly wobbly walk over to Chako.

{Umm...hi...} the Snorunt said, feeling very shy in the snake pok?mon's presence. He was big...well, at least by Kula's standards, although he had sounded nice and not at all scary like Sierra or Adeline {Kula is the name of I...nice to meet you, it is.} the Snorunt became silent again, not quite sure on how to proceed but not wanting to back down just yet.
 
{ooc| Gah, my friends are coming over in just under an hour, and I've got soooo much to do! *wails*}

{He's not big and strong,} the charmander retorted, her fierce green eyes locking on Kula, {he's skinny and speaks funny. My Mother was definetly bigger. She didn't sound like a strangled rat, either.} she frowned, and flicked her tail from side to side. Sierra was beginning to feel irritable; she was certain there was something unnatural about this, because how could such a light coloured, hairy biped be her mother? She remembered a deep, grating, warming voice, heavy hands, and firey warmth when she had been inside the egg - that couldn't have been Alex.
She waved at Chako, smiling brightly. {Nice to meet you!}

Alex watched his lizard, a pained expression on his face. He had no idea what she was saying, but he guessed it was bad. Tropiuses were easy to please, a tickle under the chin and a pat on the rump had one their favour. Alex sighed.
"Yeah, well, Charizards live in mountains, right? Sierras are the jagged ridges." he told John.
"Biology is very important is you want to have a successful herd of tropiuses, they can get all sorts of diseases and pass it on easily. Though... they do make the best banannas..."
 
OOC: Oh... my mistake Yibber. Perhaps you could clone some Feebas then? Perhaps some other pokemon? I'm not sure what could possibly be effective against the Bubu clones.

By the way, I've discovered how fun it is to say "Bubu". Bubu. Bubu. Bubu. Bubu! ^-^

And the way the filter blocked out Charon's "****ed", it could mean several things. /dirty mind of Melissa. XD

Darn... I just realized I have to think up pokemon to catch in this RP! o.o *gets thinkin'*

Anyways...


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

"Huh... is that so? Well then, I guess I can stop my worrying about the enormous gash on my finger," Kevin said, still looking over his practically non-existant wound.

Adeline was happy to see the other pokemon moving about. She thought them all very interesting and unusual. They looked nothing like she and her mother; or her mother's friends. Adeline still hadn't figured out the fact that she was a pokemon-- a completely different species than her "mother".

{Hello! I am Adeline! Wanna play?! Even though Mommy says no, I wanna play!} she piped up, a look of defiance in her expression. She didn't particularly want to listen to Kevin; where was the fun in that?

Fuuu... apologies for the shortness... I have to go practice though for a presentation in my Speech class. ^^; It's getting closer to finals... I have so much studying this weekend I think my head shall explode. @_@
 
OOC: I've gotten very angry recently in my house. But Rping is always good!<3
Alter, we can get them later on, but we'd first have to get out of the Bike. Which is precisely what I'm doing in my next two or three posts.

IC: "Mmm, Bananas," mumbled John, "They're my favourite fruit. Though I don't get them very often in Barrel. Not much choice for food."
Ring, still sleeping, yawned and rubbed her stomach in John's backpack. John laughed.
"Guess I'll have to feed you too! Anyway if we all got these pokemon from Clay, are we supposed to go anywhere? Only because all we've done is talk generally. I swear she said something about taking down the gangs. Except thats impossibly hard. No-one's ever even come close. Two grunts from..." He thought hard to remember their uniforms, "Axle ambushed me earlier. They almost knew I had Ring. Maybe they have things that sense pokemon."
He finished his speech and waited for other people's opininions.
 
OOC: That's what I said...she will get it later on, I just wanted to write a kind of introductory/background post for the pok?mon already. Hey, Ashley just got Kula after all, don't worry, I'm not into rushing the party gathering procedure. But if it's such a big deal then sure, the pok?mon's first appearance, located in a completely different place than the characters, shall take place after they exit the Bike.

Oh, and on the subject of cloned pok?mon....well, okay, not really cloned, but anyways; I used to have a whole box full of Feebas in my old Emerald game. I swear, it took me forever to breed out one with a suitable nature. They've all got Dragonbreath too, so they could defend thy honour Yibber. XD

And Melissa...that dirty mind of yours...I believe that we have both arrived at exactly the same interpretation of that word. XD

IC:

As Kevin broke of into yet another lament over the barely existant scratch on his finger, Ashley felt her temper boiling, her voice taking on a note so silky that anyone with the least sense of self-preservation would take the hint and back off.

"Enormous gash, you say?" she asked, eyeing the diminutive mark on Kevin's finger for a moment, "Then what, might I ask, would you call this?"

She suddenly pulled up the right sleeve of her jacket, revealing a large scar running down from somewhere beneath the sleeve of her t-shirt to about halfway down her arm, a vicious looking mark to say the least.

"This..." she said in the same silky voice, bringing up the scar for Kevin to inspect "...is a gash, a particularly large Mightyena with an aggression complex left that on me last year. But if you are still so concerned about that little scratch of yours then do as I already suggested. Stick it in ice to numb it and then put a piece of bandage around it or something."

Ashley turned around, pulling the sleeve of her jacket back down so as to not scare Kula with the mark, and ignored the boy and his whining for a moment, attempting to collect her thoughts. How was she going to break this to auntie Maria? Or if she wasn't, how was she going to hide this from her? And on the subject of hidden things...had it really been such a smart move to reveal her scar? People were more or less bound to comment on it, and the girl had grown pretty tired of the standard pittying phrases that she got. The scar didn't hurt her anymore, just as long as she didn't over-excert the arm, so she really wished that people wouldn't fuss over it.

Hoping to divert attention from what she had just shown, Ashley was quick to comment on John's thoughts;

"I know..." she said, "She said that we are to take down all four of the teams in this city, but I doubt we're up for it just yet..." she cast a glance at Kula, who was still trying to grasp the concept of walking straight, and the other baby pok?mon, each with their own concerns "I mean, our pok?mon are still just hatchlings, we've either got to find some way to make them grow or find other pok?mon who are capable of fighting. But you mentioned being assaulted?" she asked frowning, "So...I suppose Ring could fight, but I'm not sure that my little sweetie is up for it just yet." she cast another glance at Kula, "Or...maybe I just don't want her to be." she added, sighing, "But if they've got sensors that can find pok?mon then we'd better be carefull." she took a pause, biting her lip, "We need to find ourselves some kind of gathering place." she said at last, "Somewhere where we can meet up without drawing too much attention. Maybe even a hideout of some sort, just in case things get ugly? Any ideas?" she cast a glance about the group, hoping that someone would have something usefull to come with.

{Oh, hi.} Kula said, turning to Adeline, as Chako clearly didn't seem to be quite ready to answer just yet, and noting with a measure of relief that the Houndour didn't sound as scary as she looked, {Play?} she asked curiously, {Playing sounds fun...but maybe Kula should ask mama first?} she cast a quick glance at Ashley, {Kula would not like to worry the mama she loves so very much.}
 
OOc-
Niah..*edits post*
Now,tis' proven tha Pixelart does numb my brain.XD

Anyway,many thanks for the offer,Titan,with Feebas by my side,nuthin' can go wrong.Though,it be best not to underestimate Plushie,yes?^^

And,for some reason,Ashley's scar reminds me of something,but I can't place my Feebas on it,and I suddenly have an urge to cry.....*sniffle*

Ic-
Jinger didn't really pay attention to whatever was taking place around her.She held Beauhin in her arms,having a glazed look in her eyes.As if she was thinking about something....
The girl's hand immediately shot up and grabbed the beret on her head,making sure it was there.

{Adeline?Sure!I'll plaw wif' ya!}Beauhin grinned,though taken by surprise of her mother's sudden movement.The Feebas poked her mother with one fin,trying to get her attention.

"Huh...what??Oh!Beauhin,yes?"Jinger rubbed her head with her free hand before smiling to the Feebas in her arms.

{I wanna play Momma!}she told her,immediately jumping out of the girl's hands.
"Gah!!Beauhin!!Stop being so rash!!"Jinger called out in shock,catching the Feebas before any 'splat' sound could be heard,and carefully placed her on the floor.
"Don't run off now,you hear?"the girl wagged her finger at the Feebas,who nodded before bouncing over to Adeline and Kula.

{Ya' said somethin' bou' playing??I'm game!}Beauhin had gotten used to walking around,probably because she didn't have any legs to walk with.

Jinger stared at Ashley's scar,trying to make heads or Feebas on how a girl could have such a gash on her arm.As she explained that it was because of a Mightyena,Jinger still couldn't help but feel that Ashley was awfully brave.

"Doesn't that hurt?I mean..the scar?"she walked up to the girl,who seemed to be unsure whether she should have let her Snorunt onto the floor.Not thinking whatsoever that maybe Ashley didn't feel like talking about it,since she quickly changed to conversation to answer John's question.But,Jinger wasn't the type to think either way,so....
 
OOC:

13 hours.

Rehearsing. Just rehearsing. Plus lunch and dinner. And two concerts.

..I'm tired. XD

Anyways, Yibber must be reminded of Cid, yes?

Oh, and the Bubu clone thing. Yeah, it isn't wise to underestimate them. XD


IC:



Tessie, who had been taken aback by Ashley's scar, now lost all interest in it when she realized that she basically had no where to go. As she widened her eyes with realization, many thoughts ran through her head.

One, going home meant dire punishment from her mother, because apparently it was 'much too dangerous for a young woman to be wandering about'. Not to mention the fact that she now had Chako, and bringing him home meant that her mother would instantly get rid of him for fear that her daughter would get involved with battling.

Two, she barely had enough money on her for a cheap room at a cheap hotel for only one night. How could she make do with that?

Three, she hardly knew these people yet. How could she possibly ask one of them if they had room at their places?

Then suddenly, a new thought dawned on her.

"When it comes to hideouts, I think I have a good idea." Tessie piped up, excited because she had found a solution with a double meaning. She paused for a bit before continuing. "There's this old abandoned vehicle repair shop near the outskirts of the East part of the city. Actually, it's only about a hundred yards from the city limits.. The sign is really faded, but you can make out the word 'Dexter's'. Perhaps that could be a hideout?" She asked.

The truth was, she had often visited that place with Laka. Before the city's troubled times. Just to get away from what she considered her social problems. You know, it was like her Secret Base. She had even furnished it a bit. But ever since the Teams really took over, she got to visit the place less and less because of the spike in danger.

Maybe now it could be her new home.. And a hideout for their new group as well.


Meanwhile, Chako had been staring intently at Kula, tongue flicking in and out of his mouth quickly while he took in her scent. When she had become tired of waiting for a response, turning to Adeline when the Houndour mentioned playing, the Seviper had almost followed, but decided against it when still more Pokemon wished to join Adeline in play.

{Nice to.. Meet you..} He whispered, his snaky voice taking on a natural, yet soft hiss. He continued observing the gathered Pokemon intently now, more than ever, drawing closer inch by inch as he became more interested in their activities.

{Mother named me.. Chako.} He whispered again, suddenly becoming much like his Trainer in a sense.




OOC:

I felt the need to make Tessie live in some sort of Secret Base. XD

Ish it otay if that's like the hideout as well?
 
OOC: Jeez, I only got about 6 hours sleep last night. 1:30-7:30

IC: "Ouch. That's a nasty scar," said John, watching the gash on Ashley's arm, "And even though we were assualted, Ring's not a fighter. Some really quick pokemon came out of nowhere and took one of their pokemon down. Then Ring seemed to like,...learn something and be able to hurt the other pokemon. Also I think the other pokemon did not like Ring's attack, because he kinda freaked out before it hit."
John finished his lengthly answer to Ashley's question, then concetrated on her gash.
"Where did you get that thing treated? Not in Barrel, by any chance? Only because if you did you'd be dead." commented John.
He turned to Tessie.
"Huh, a hideout. Sounds like a good place. Shall we go check it out?" replied John to her question, "You'd better come too, we don't know the way."

OOC: Dexter's. Reminds me of a resturaunt chain named Dexter's grill.

Alex flinched noticeably, as Ashley bared the scar for all to see. He only untensed when it was put awya, hidden away beneath a sleeve. "That looks nasty. it seems to be healing well, though, lots of mightyena wounds fester because of the bacteria that live in their mouths."
He nodded at Tessie. "Yeah, that's a good idea. We need somewhere we can practise battling and level up without being distrubed, a hotel room do now good. I was sort of planning to camp out, but I doubt you guys have got water-proof-ultra-thin-uber-insulated-sleeping-bags with you."

Sierra cheered. {Yay, play!} and she tackled Chako playfully, chewing on the seviper's tail. {Play!} she told Adeline, Beauhin and Kula, and wagged her tail so much is began to smoke again.
 
OOc-
Ain't 6 hours of sleep enough for Pete?o.O

Anyway,today during Badminton Practice,like,I kept reminding the coach to let us do push-ups at the end of the class.
Bleh,and,like,I was the only one who wanted to do push-ups,the rest pleaded with her till she said that this week we wouldn't need to do the push-ups.
Weaklings.XD

Ic-
"Mightyena wounds..what?"Jinger really didn't know that such things could happen,just because of a bite.But,the girl immediately shook it off before turning to the girl next to her.
"I guess I'm with Tessie."Jinger sighed,making sure that Beauhin was alright every now and then,wondering how the little Feebas managed so easily.Anywhere was better than this old club,it was very boring.

"How far is it again?Oooh,how I hate walking."the girl asked,sulking as she remembered Tessie state the Secret Base be at the outskirts at the East of the city.She hoped that it wouldn't be too far.

{Tha's playin'?}Beauhin asked Sierra as she proceeded to tackle Chako and smoke started forming again.The Feebas coughed slightly,before looking up.

Ooc-
Plushie....*sniffle*
Why'd you hafta go and remind Yibber..*sniffle*
Now she was to wash her brain out with soap.-_-
(Which really isn't that hard,since it ain't tha big either way.XD)
 
OOC: Nope six ain't enough. Let's all remember that my brothers(real life) are going to see Chelsea v Middlesbrough today. So I decided to sleep in as all I'm doing today is buying NOM and a lot of Waffle mix for our stall at my school's christmas fair. And to make some waffles to cheer me up.
 
Ashley sighed inwardly as questions and comments about her scar broke out all around, just like she had feared them to. She did her best not to show her frustration about it outwardly though, after all, they were just showing honest concern and she really didn't want to hurt their feelings. And anyway, she told herself, the important part was that they had bought the Mightyena explanation without any objections.

"No, it's fine..." she replied to Jinger's question, "Just as long as I don't put too much pressure on the arm I barely notice that the scar is there. And no, it wasn't treated in Barrel City..." she replied to John's question, "It was some local herbal medicinist in the Jagged Pass who treated it for me." the girl grimaced at Alex's comment, "I guess he really knew his stuff." she added, "Because once a real doctor got to see it he said exactly the same thing as you did. But really, it's not such a big deal. We've got more important things to worry about, don't we?" she asked, attempting a quick change of subject before she got too...involved in it. It's not such a big deal... she repeated in her mind, turning around for a moment as she felt her eyes growing slightly teary, It wasn't such a big deal for me...I only got a scar... she gritted her teeth for a moment, forcing of her melancholy thoughts before returning to the conversation, her expression more or less normal.

She turned to Tessie, smiling at the girl's suggestion. "Oh, that's a great idea." she said, nodding, "I live in the East Quarter too, so it should be a fairly quick walk from there." she took a pause, "Umm...Tessie." she added in a slightly more uncertain manner, "Would it...be okay if I kind of lived over there? Like I said, auntie Maria doesn't want me to get involved with these teams in any way...and if she finds out, she might even take Kula away from me..." the girl shuddered at the thought, feeling a strong urge to pick the Snorunt back up and hug her just to make sure that she was still there. But Kula seemed to be doing unusually well with her new friends and she really didn't want to break that mood.

{Oh, it is nice for little Kula to meet you too Chako.} Kula replied happily, turning around to adress the Seviper who had finally spoken up {You want to play too?}

The Snorunt leapt back in shock as Sierra tackled Chako and began chewing on his tail, the ice types blue eyes narrowing. {Stop!} she cried out in panic {You is hurting him!}

Alex nodded. "Maybe I could kip there too? In...a seperate room, of course." he added quickly, before anyone yelled Baka Hentai! and branded him as a pervert. "I live in fortree and that's a two or three hour flight from here. Plus... I came to Barrel city to get away fromt he tropiuses and chores, not to go straight back there once things get tough."

Sierra tilted her head to one side. {But... I was just playing...} she said, in a hurt voice. {Don't you want to play too?}

Alex sniffed, smelling smoke. He glanced down, only to see his Charmander half-mauling Tessie's Seviper.
"Sierra, get off!" he shouted at her, and the lizerd leapt away, shocked at how fierce her 'Mama' now sounded.
{But...}
"Play gentler, you're bigger than them!" he warned her.
The charmander watched him carefully, not quite understanding his language.
 
Ooc-
Yum...Waffles!XD
Almost as tasty as cheese and clams.

Ic-
"Oh..okay."Jinger nodded as Ashley explained that the gash didn't hurt much.Though...really,could a Mightyena have done so much.The girl remembered that one of the jerks,or...her brothers for those who didn't live with her,had gotten bitten before,as her father's colleagues had brought one over.It wasn't as serious as Ashley's,though,and the wound healed soon after.Bah,what did she know about these things anyway?She had probably forgotten,it was a long time ago.The girl instinctivly reached for her beret again.

"Oh!May I stay there as well??Mother and Father wouldn't like it if I go home."the girl nodded as Ashley asked Tessie whether she could bunk at the Secret Bas.Jinger still remembered the scene of her running out of the house very clearly,very clearly indeed.It was better sleeping in a old base,rather then going back to face her parents.Or was it?

{Oooh,I don like dis type of fun.}Beauhin covered her face with one fin.
 
OOC: *Sigh* Physics lessons call again. ;__; Will see y'all once I get back.
