OOC: Okay, what the-

TheReturnerZ...this isn't a friggin' chat room. <_< Really, now I have to go through the bother of calling someone to clean up this mess you made. Pfft...read before you write. =_=

IC:

"Okay...does anyone have any idea of where we are?" Ashley asked after a while, sighing heavily as she sat down on a nearby bench, carefully placing Kula by her side before beginning to massage her aching legs.

{Erm...nope.} the little Snorunt replied, {Doesn't mama know? Kula has never been in the big world before.} a flicker of anxiety entered the ice type's expression again, {Is mama mad at Kula now?} the snorunt asked, looking like she was about to burst out into tears.

"Oh, oh, of course not!" Ashley replied hastily, lifting up the Snorunt and hugging her again. Despite her recent battle prowess, Kula still seemed to be very much the same, insecure little child deep down, and now that mama wasn't in danger anymore and the exhileration of the battle was over, her old behaviour was quickly returning.

"How about you, Marvin?" she added as the Snorunt quieted down again, glancing up at her newly acquired Beldum hopefully.

{Negative.} the steel pok?mon replied, {No data of current location found.}

"So we're officially lost then..." Ashley sighed, leaning back a bit and casting a glance at her surroundings. She seemed to be in a crossing of some sort, a fairly sizeable circlular lawn with a path of grey pavement going straight through it, forming a smaller circle within the circle of grass where two benches had been placed, facing opposite directions. Despite the run-down feel of the place, with the long, tangled, and unkempt grass and the sheer amount of wear and tear on the faded old benches, it was a strangely relaxing spot. A small respite of green among the browns and greys that seemed to make up most of Barrel City, and Ashley found herself strangely at ease there. "I wonder if the others are allright..." she said, stroking Kula a bit more. There was no point for her to be running around in circles, odds were that she would just get even more lost than she was now. After all, the place did seem to connect to a great deal of other places. With a little luck, the others would run into her...if they had made it.

Marvin merely hovered beside his trainer, unaware of the emotions running about in the girl's head. He had the distinct feeling that there was something missing. Something he ought to remember...something within the ominous darkness in his mind...something important. But for some reason he could not bring himself to remember what. The only thing he could remember was the master, Ashley. She was the one...the one who was always right...the one who he could trust...the only one he could trust...the one with the answers to his questions...oh, if only he could remember his questions...

Too bad I'm repairing my Bubu clones right now. XD



IC:



"Thank you!" Tessie said quickly before catching the Burn Heal, turning it over until she was holding it properly. She bent down and quickly scanned Chako's skin to identify the burnt areas, and all the while the Seviper was observing, not really sure what mother was up to.

Eventually she actually sprayed the medicine onto the Seviper, who didn't move seeing as how he felt nothing at all, using up the whole can like she had seen her father do so many years ago.

"Ah, so we both won our first battles, then." Tessie stated, throwing a smile at Jinger as she stood back up, tossing the empty Burn Heal in a nearby trash can. "But I strongly suggest we find the others before we do anything else."

As she said that, Chako's burns already seemed to have been dissipated, the Seviper himself feeling much better, slithering closer to Tessie's side as he focused on Jinger.

IC: John and Neco faced off for a bit longer. Neither of them liked the other, but they knew they hadn't come together by accident. Something had drove both of them to this place.
{John, he's mean and bad. I hate him!} said Ring again telepathically.
"Yeah I know. but we're stuck with him now," replied John.
{Okay, what are we doing?} asked Neco gruffly.
As soon as he asked that John heard the unmistakeable scrrech of a monorail.
"Getting on that."

John vaulted the ticket barrier and ran down the steps. The monorail's doors were closing. Neco leaped aboard and hid under the seat. John managed to leap onto it. He hit the deck, and lay sprawled out. No-one was in the carriage, save a few locals. They were all reading magazines.
"Neco, quick come up," commanded John. Neco was suspicious as he smelt other humans. However he jumped up, and landed on John's shoulder. Ring peeped out from behind John. Neco was easily two or three times the size of her. Yet she was a newborn and also small for one.
The monorail entered a dip and the carriage started rattling violently. Ring got scared and started shaking with fear.
{Help! It's scary!} she wailed. Luckily there was lots of backround noise and only John and Neco could hear.
{Be quiet! Those humans are dangerous!} hissed Neco.
"Shush Ring, we'll be okay," said John warmly.
Ring heard her trainer's words and cheered up. She could always count on John to make her strong.
Neco snarled and darted down as another member of the carriage briefly glanced at John.
{Stupid humans!} thought Neco. His mind was full of rage and hatred for humans as he said that.
 
OOC: *dies again* XDD Hey! A rare post! Aren't you all delighted?! ^^;


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

As Kevin was running with Adeline in his arms, he came to the realization that he had absolutely no idea where he was going. He soon slowed and stoped on a street corner, looking very out of place. The buildings were a bit grimy, and Kevin winced as he thought of how dirty everything was.

"I think we've ended up on the wrong side of town Adeline," he said slowly, his stomach churning from a man's smoke. He was smoking a cigar, and a rather smelly one at that.

Kevin couldn't take it though, and as he choked, turned to the man, "P- Put that thing, ugh, out will you?! You're killing, ogh, me!"

The man stared at the boy for a moment, and then blew a huge cloud of smoke at Kevin's face. Kevin glared back at the man as he choked even more. The man decided to leave though, and he slowly began to shuffle away. Adeline didn't like that the man had made her 'mother' choke, and she leapt out of Kevin's arms, which wanted to wave the smoke away from his head anyway, and chased after the man, latching onto his pant leg with her tiny teeth.

"GAH! Get your stupid pokemon off me!" the man yelled, waggling his leg.

Kevin looked up to see Adeline get kicked off by the man, she flew back about five feet and smacked hard into a wall. Kevin felt not anger towards the man that had just kicked his pokemon though, but embarrassment that his first pokemon had done that and been so weak.

He let the man go without another word, and then walked up to Adeline. "Thanks a lot Adeline, you made me look like some hack. Let's go! Are you alright?" he said, looking down at her. Adeline looked back up. Her head was swimming a bit, and she felt dizzy, but she stood up anyway.

{Yes... I think so,} she said, walking a bit strangely. Kevin nodded, "Come on, let's find the others. Or at least find out where we are. They can't have gone that far...."

OOC: For the record, I would most certainly care if my pokemon got kicked by a stupid man. Just wanted to say that so that no one accidently associates me with Kevin. O_O Though, I wouldn't think you good people would make that mistake. One time I played a really rude and annoying person in an RP, and some of the people playing thought that I was really like that. Erm... no.... o.O

Oh yes, and no Houndour or cigar men's legs were harmed in the writing of this post. ^___^
 
"Shouldn't we find the rest?I mean,come on,we've got to check whether they're alright.And,no doubt their missing me already."Jinger asked Tessie after she had sprayed the Burn Heal onto Chako.

Truthfully,it was her who was feeling rather uneasy with only Tessie there,but,she wasn't going to tell the girl and Seviper now was she?She then decided to back away as Chako slithered back to the girl's side,staring at her again.

"I know I'm beautiful,but could you stop staring?It's scary."Jinger finally managed to say,taking the beret from her Feebas' head and placing it back onto its rightful place on hers,now that the drizzled had subsided.

{Chako,my Momma,she really tha pretty isn't she??}Beauhin,still on the girl's shoulder,asked the Seviper.
 
OOC:

Yibber, Tessie already asked that. XD



IC:



"Staring?" Tessie repeated, before following Jinger's gaze down to Chako, who indeed had been observing the girl. "Oh, Chako, stop that, it's freaky." She said, playfully flicking the Seviper's back.

He muttered something softly, slithering behind Tessie so that most of him was cut off from Jinger's point of view.

{Pretty?} The Seviper asked, directing his voice towards Beauhin. {I find her helpful, not pretty.. Besides, she was a potential threat earlier, just like everyone else.. And so I must always keep an eye out.. For mother.} He concluded, saying nothing more.

"Well, come on, then." Tessie said to Jinger, turning the other way and starting to walk. "The sooner we start searching, the better."

Chako followed without a word, his shifty eyes flicking from one object to the next, sometimes across the street and sometimes in an alley they were passing.

Right now, Tessie was heading in the direction she had seen Ashley run in.. Or was this where Kevin ran off to? She couldn't tell, the rain had left behind it a slight fogginess that made it a bit harder to see than usual.
 
OOc-
Bah,I knew that,I purposely made Jinger repeat it.She didn't listen to Tessie.XP

Ic-
"Thank you."Jinger thanked Chako and Tessie as the Seviper finally looked away from her by taking place behind his mother.

{Naw,Momma's pretty and helpful.}Beauhin told the Seviper as he stated that the girl was more helpful than pretty.

{And,she ain't no threat.She's me momma,and she'll protect me and beret over there with'er life!}the Feebas said firmly upon hearing the Seviper's last comment on Jinger being a threat like 'the rest'.

"Coming,don't rush,now that the dreadful rain is gone,this fog comes along,if I choke to death,you'll all be at the hearing."Jinger followed after Tessie and Chako,exaggerating on the fogginess which had replaced the mild drizzle.
 
Tessie rolled her eyes, deciding not to comment for her own good. She merely kept trudging, looking into allies along the way, just in case one of the group was hiding somewhere in there.

{Trust needs lots of time to build..} Chako stated towards Beauhin as he followed Tessie. And from his earlier actions, he was obviously referring to a lot of time.



----------------------------------



The only sound one could hear was the faint creak of the shop's second floor sign as the wind blew past, some debris from the recent downpour tumbling along the dirt road. That was all that remained of the pavement that used to line the street, and also towards the city limits.

The shop itself was rather quaint and run-down, but considering how old it was, it was actually in pretty good condition. The dull mustard-yellow paint had become even duller through the years, and the old garage door was still sealed tightly shut since it had been when the shop was closed.

However a large, meter-high hole as wide as an adult male with arms outstretched was torn into the metal that was the garage door, but even so, it seemed to be barricaded by a old, broken down vehicle that had been worn down beyond recognition. The car was blocking the only visible entrance to the building besides the closed windows, which were locked from the inside, and the emergency exit behind the building, but even that was locked.

Team Joint hadn't bothered checking this area for human presence or Pokemon presence for a few months now.. The area was already labeled 'abandoned', even to the public. Even most Wild Pokemon that bothered to stray into the city wouldn't consider living here.

Except for one.

A large yawn sounded from within the car-barricade, causing the heap of metal to quiver a few times before suddenly, a teddy-bear like head popped up from the passenger seat, a cresent-shaped symbol embedded on its forehead. It blinked its cute little eyes once before quickly becoming bored with the whole 'abandoned' theme, falling backwards into the seat of the car and going back to sleep.

Why ish everyone fore-shadowing??!?!!?XD

Makes me wanna foreshadow too.^^
BUT,I shall not,for like,no apparent reason again.

Ic-

{Trust?Ya don't trust nobody cept' fer ur momma??}Beauhin tilted her head,or rather,whole body,since there was no visible neck on a Feebas.Wondering why the Seviper on the street seemed so over protective.

{Ya needn't be so scared for everythin' ya know!}the Feebas grinned happily.

"So,where are we going,exactly??"Jinger asked Tessie,twirling her red hair with her fingers,deciding to tone down on the complaining since the girl was ignoring her.She hated getting ignored,yes.
 
{Well.. Perhaps you can be trusted..} Chako hissed back, glancing towards the Feebas for a split second before catching back up with his 'mother'. {And scared isn't what I'd say..} He said nothing more, falling back into one of his 'eerie silence' moments.

"I remember seeing Ashley.. Or Kevin.. Running down this way. So now I guess we're following their trail." Tessie replied, looking straight-forward in front of her, a smile beginning to spread on her face when she realized that Jinger wasn't complaining anymore.

She fell silent, though, when she realized she could smell something.. Rather different. Like grass or something. She hadn't smelled this kind of plant-smell in a while. Were they headed towards a garden or something?
 
{I am glad to earn ur trust then!!}Beauhin bowed as low as she could on Jinger's shoulder,nearly falling off.

"Hey,watch it."the girl warned her Feebas,grabbing her tail with one hand,pulling the fish pokemon up show she wouldn't fall splat onto the street.Jinger looked up to what seemed like the smell of grass.

"Gah,do you smell that?Is it dead grass?!"the girl jumped up in shock,Beauhin holding tightly onto her neck.
 
OOC: Gah, I am really tired. I can just about post an IC.
School matters.

IC: The monorail train drew up to the stop John had first gotten on, Eastern Drive. John got off, Neco silently trotting behind him. Ring stared down from above.
{Meanie} she muttered, but no-one heard her.
John however was busy working out a route.
"So left there, then a second right..." he said to himself. The others watched him, then they got on the move. A couple minutes of silence passed as the group moved down backstreets silently. John looked ahead. He could see the faint outlines of two figures.
{Be careful John} said Ring, as he approached them.
{WHAT THE **** IS HE DOING?} thought Neco again, {IS HE INSANE?}
Apparently to Neco, John was insane. He kept on approaching the figures. Every step Neco got more angry, and Ring got more scared. Eventually she ducked her head back into the backpack. John was now very close. Neco muttered something about imbeciles and jumped out of sight.
John could see who the figures were now faintly. There were two big ones, one long one and a very small one.
"Is that Jinger and Tessie?" thought John. His back hairs stood on end.
 
OOc-
How'd John end up there?Did Tessie and Jinger walk tha long?

And like,dude,JINGER AIN'T SMALL!!!!!XD
She'll come after you for saying that.^^

Ic-
Jinger was about to continue whining about the smell of grass,when she felt that they were being watched by somebody.The girl turned to her right,to see a boy and an Electrike staring at her and Tessie.

It was John!

"Oh!!John!you okay??Did you manage to get away from the rest off the nasty grunts?"Jinger called out without hesitation,grabbing onto Tessie and dragging her along in the same manner of which she did in 'The Bike'.Not really noticing that the boy looked rather petrified to see her and Tessie.

{Heya!Where's Ring?}Beauhin waved one fin to the Neco.

OOC: Your Electrike has a potty mouth Pete. XD


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

Still feeling slightly dizzy, Adeline wobbled her way down the street with Kevin, her stomach churning a bit too. She was trying to be strong, she didn't want Kevin mad at her again, though it was silly to pretend to be well when you weren't. If Kevin yelled at her, maybe she could just try to bite his finger again. She puzzled about this as they walked past a man standing on another streetcorner, waiting to cross the street.

"Excuse me Sir?" Kevin said with a tone of annoyance at not being able to find the others, "But do you know where I am?"

Adeline was glad for the pause, she was starting to get a major headache.

The man looked over Kevin and his pokemon, and then folded his arms with a smile and answered, "Earth."

Kevin frowned, "Oh funny funny... that's really witty. I see then. Let's go Adeline." Kevin expected to hear the now familiar bark of Adeline's {OK!}, but heard silence instead. He turned around, and spied her lying on the ground, her eyes closed, "Adeline?! What are you doing?! Taking a nap right now! Get up!"

There was a gap in the cars on the street, and the man was about to cross when he said, "She looks unconscious to me laddie. And for the record, you're a pretty big idiot if you can't even tell that your pokemon's hurt. From the look of you; I'd say you probably don't care about anything or anyone, and they probably don't care about you either." He then dipped his hat, and crossed the street.

Kevin glared at the man as he left. How dare he say that to him?! Lots of people loved him! His family was rich and famous! Though... as he looked down at Adeline's unconscious form, he tried to think of people that knew him... truly knew the real him... and the only one he could come up with was his pet Magikarp when he was five years old. He looked down at Adeline... did she care about him? Or was she like his parents... using him to look good, to get more powerful, like a tool... a tool that could be discarded after messing up once.

He was certainly not like them! Or was he... hadn't he thought of Adeline as a tool...? Wasn't that the very thing he hated about his parents? He picked up the little Houndour's limp form. She was still breathing, but she wasn't looking too good.

"Come on Adeline, I'll find you a doctor or something...," he said, trying not to think about how inconvenient this all was.

OOC: Now, don't worry, just because Kevin's had this little realization doesn't mean he'll change a whole lot. Just a bit where Adeline's concerned. It takes more than that for humans to change. ^-^ Meh, just thought I'd say that.
 
OOC: Two big ones, hmm... humans, a long one like a SNAKE and a small one AKA FEEBAS GOD BEAUHIN WOULD LIKE TO BATTLE. FEEBAS GOD BEAUHIN SENT OUT FEEBAS.
And I know the Electrike has a potty mouth, but at least he isn't a complete chav. Otherwise you'd hear

"OH MY DAYZ!!" at every single moment.

IC: {Right over here, Beauhin!} answered Ring happily, as she saw her friend. Neco however didn't look impressed.
{Oh boy, this is brilliant} he grumbled. John walked up to Jinger and Tessie. He did look scared, only because he thought they were going to flip out and kill him for giving them away.
"Yep, it's John," he called back sheepishly. Ring didn't notice his fear and started talking to Beauhin.
{And so we did this...}
