[PKMN FULL] Darker than it Seems... [IC]

[Stingray]

Lydia​

Aerith replied to Shadow in her calm whispering voice, "Most trainers are not evil, but most are blind to what they are doing to the Pokemon they hold dear. Your Pokeballs were created to control us... not to be homes. I wish you could see this. For your Pokemon they might be homes, but they were created to contain and control us.

You clearly treat your Pokemon well, but that does not change the truth behind the practice of Pokemon training. The entire basis of Pokemon training is a sport built on the idea of forcing us battle each other for the amusement of humans. These battles cause pain that humans do not understand... I wish you luck on your journey Shadow, please seek to understand your Pokemon more than you already do. Understanding them deeper will create a stronger bond that will help you through the dark times ahead."

Lydia returned Shadows gaze and waited for Aerith to finish before saying, "I will not give blind faith that Orchid's heart has changed. She has never apologized... considering what she has done and that she has never sought redemption or forgiveness, and because of this I do not see the changed heart you claim she has. I also see your blind acceptance of Orchid as a betrayal of Arryn, who was nearly killed by that woman. If you really care about Arryn you need to dicuss this with her and consider how she feels as a victim of this woman's cruelity. Good luck on your venture Shadow, may you find what you seek. I am going to return to the others after I've said some good byes."

Lydia then proceeded to say her good byes to each of the guardians, as she did each guardian gave her a gift. Aerith used her Psychic abilities to transfer Lydia knowledge of a move the guardian had been taught years ago, Masumi gave her a sharpened shell he had used when he was a Dewott, and the Ninetails had a request instead of a gift: for Lydia to take her eldest daughter, Aciri with her. The eight tailed Vulpix was the strongest of the guardian's daughters and had a rare golden coat of fur that was slowly turning white. Lydia wished she could say good bye to the last guardian, but she did not know where the wanderer was.

As Lydia began to teleport a familar chirp filled the air. Smiling Lydia waited as the Fletchling dove from his perch on one of the branches of her former home and landed on her shoulder. Once the Fletchling was firmly perched on the Hybrid's shoulder, Lydia teleported back to the others.

As soon as Lydia appeared, Arryn called for her. Looking over at the other female Hybrid Lydia telepathically responded, "Yes Arryn, did you need something?" Next to Lydia stood the Vulpix, who looked around at its new surroundings with a curious look in her eyes. The Vulpix's glaze moved from Arryn to the newly changed Deacon, who seemed thrilled as he flew in circles above everyones' heads. The Vulpix stared at the man wondering why he seemed so happy as he flew around in circles. The Fletchling took off from Lydia's shoulder and joined Deacon in the sky. The tiny robin was much more skilled with his wings and he darted effortlessly around Deacon.

(( Aciri the Vulpix
Moves: Confuse Ray, Will o' Wisp, Hex, and Flamethrower
Ability: Flash Fire

Lydia has started to learn Protect thanks to Aerith. She will need practice before she can truely master it and refine it so she can use it to protect others. Lydia can hold up one or both hands and focus her powers into a shield to block enemy attacks.

Brian Sage

Pokemon

Spoiler:

"Hey guys! Look! I can fly now! I discovered this Flying ability while reminiscing in my home thousands of miles north of here. Isn't it great? Haha!" Deacon said as he laughed a hearty laugh and flew around the group in circles using his new wings.

Brian gawked. His mouth hung open as he fumbled for words. "Wow he looks so cool. I, I mean That looks so cool!" He hoped nobody noticed his mistake. But he was too distracted to worry. He stared at Deacon, his hair flowing in the wind as his wings flapped propelling him forward. Brian was in awe, he may have stared a bit too long but he no longer cared. He ran over to his pidgeotto, jumping on as it took off flying into the air.

"Look at my new friend!" He shouted at Deacon as he flew next to him. Brian wondered if he had any more secret abilities, he hoped he had one as cool as Deacon's wings.

He blinked, noticing that he forgot to put his goggles on. He pulled them over his face, but at the same moment his pidgeotto did a flip throwing Brian off. Brian plummeted toward the ground. He made a mental note, "If I survive this I'm going to try and be less clumsy."

In the split second after the fall he felt enough fear to trigger his fairy wind, causing the air to be buffeted by a strong multicolored wind that stung even his own face.

[VillageofDragons]

Deacon Masterson

Deacon laughed happily as he flew around the group. He hadn't felt this in good spirits in a long time, and it was infectious. He noticed Lydia return and Fletchling flew into the air beside Deacon, darting around him effortlessly. "Haha. Hello, Fletchling! I see you're happy to be flying with me. You're better than me too, which is obvious cause you're a Pokemon and you've had your wings longer." Deacon smiled with his eyes closed as he flew to the Fletchling and lightly pet on its head once. He then heard a gust of wind as Brian had fell off his newly acquired Pidgeotto. Deacon's Salamence flew into the air and caught Brian on its back. While still in the air it flew over to Brian's Pidgeotto and nudged Brian back onto Pidgeotto's back, then flying down to the ground to be with the rest of Deacon's Pokemon. "Haha, so I see you have a Pokemon that can fly too. Be careful though, it's no fun to crash into the ground, Brian." Deacon said as he smiled. Deacon was having a good time with his friends Brian and Fletchling.

 

[Strange]

Brian Sage

Pokemon

Spoiler:

Brian hit something, at first he thought it was the ground but then he realized it was a salamence. Deacon's salamence pushed him back onto his pidgeotto. Brian grabbed on and held on tight as his pokemon landed. Brian immediately jumped off and sat down. "I am never, ever, doing that again!" Brian was thoroughly scared, he used to be afraid of heights but he thought he had conquered that fear a long time ago. It appeared like this accident had brought it back, and he hated that he couldn't control his fear. He loved flying, but his fear of heights was going to stop him from enjoying it. He started to wonder if he was even contributing anything to the group. If the group was made to stop team rocket, what use did they have with a kid who was scared of everything? He stood up and grabbed onto his pidgeotto. "I'm going to get over this fear!" He said as his pidgeotto sprung into the air, Brian screamed when he realized how high they were. His pidgeotto started to decend but he yelled "No! I need to get over my fear!" His pokemon understood flying higher. Brian was terrified, but he needed to prove himself, not just to the group but to himself. Brian wanted to push himself to his edge. He screamed, he passed out. But this time his pidgeotto was ready, he dove down and grabbed Brian with his talons and carried him down to the ground. Laying him on the ground, his pidgeotto pecked at his face to try to wake him up.

Shadow:

Shadow nodded as he watched Lydia teleport away. He quickly hopped on Noivern and took flight. It was now about 2pm as the sun started getting lower in the sky. Around this time of the year, days became shorter. Shadow needed to make a quick stop at a clothing store so he could go to Ice Cave. I he got in the air, he flew of toward town. He wanted to message Arryn, to tell her what happened.

He was flying in the air, keeping his balance as he filmed a quick video message.

"Hey Arryn. I was not 100% successful in my quest to get the Haven to open up for us. They would allow most of us in, but I told them all or none. I am sorry. I guess it is another failure to add to my list." Shadow said, as he continued to fly, wind zooming by his head in the video, which was still filming. He recalled some of the words Lydia had spoke.

"Arryn... I will let you choose what to do with Orchird. I accepted her into the group because Tulip seemed to still care about her... I should have taken your feelings into consideration.... and I am deeply sorry for that. Truly I am. Anyway, I am heading to get some clothing for the Ice Cave. Even as a fire type, I still get cold. Everyone should probably get some warm clothing. Maybe Lydia can make some or something. But Autumn starts tomorrow and as I look north, it will be cool. If anything comes up, I will let you know. Good luck. I... I will be back soon." Shadow finished as he hung up the C-Gear.

He put his fingers on his temple and rubbed the area. He couldn't say much right now. He really did want to be with Arryn, but there are many things he needed to think about. Soon he came to a store and quickly bought so warm clothing. The clothing he had reminded him of the group in a show known as 'The Watch'. And then he headed off toward Ice Cave.

_________________________________________________

Phoena:

Phoena rode her Swanna, looking for any signs of Shadow. Yesterday he had just bought a lode of C-Gears from the Bounty Hunters. But now he had become a target. She didn't want to hack the C-Gears as he hoped it would take a long time to find him. Her blue hair blew in the wind. She shivered from the cold, but she had to stay strong. She normally never put her pokemon in their pokeballs, but when she was flying or moving quickly, she would recall them to their pokeballs so that they could ride. But as soon as she got to her destination, she would bring them back out. She didn't like pokeballs, but sometimes they were needed. This was one of those times.

She prayed with all her might that she would never see Shadow, but at the same time she wanted to. If anyone deserved to kill Shadow, it was her.

"I don't think he would mind dying to me. But do I want to kill him...? No... I can't think like that. He is a target and he must be killed. But what had Shadow done to make him because a bounty hunter target? I just don't see him..... I don't seem him being bad unless it was out of self defense? Was it because someone hated Shadow? Was it because he was a hybrid? There is no doubt.... I can't kill him without knowing.... I just can't...." Phoena said, as her heart ached.

"Would he kill me?" She asked herself, not knowing if he would.

 

[Zatanna]

Orchid​

Orchid smirked, coiling around Shadow like a snake.

"The ice cave? Sounds like a good time. I'll come too!" she giggled.

"Are we gonna go get some clothes? I could use some furred lined lingerie." she winked at Shadow, cackling.

"Tulip Im leaving! Bye." she waved hopping onto Shadows back.

Tulip sat by herself ignoring Brian. She curled up in a little ball and closed her eyes hoping no one would talk to her. She was feeling extremely depressed.

She played with the dirt by her, with her finger. A little sprout appearing, it grew and grew. The flower was beautiful and white. All though when she touched it, the petals turned blue. It was like the flower changed color with her emotion. She decided to pick the flower and put it into her hair.

Lets see if anyone notices... she sighed, laying back down. She felt so awful.

​

 

[Gray-_-Hatred]

Gray​

Pokemon: None
Type: Electric, Fighting
Mood: Irritable

---

Hearing the strange girls angry tone, Gray could tell he hit a nerve. The girl was angry and Val wanted to kill her for threatening me.

Val glanced at me, seemingly impatiently awaiting an order. The order to kill.

Hmm... I had no other choice.. This new girl pulled out some toxic dagger. I let out a small smirk slip on my face. The fact that she didn't know who she was dealing with, yet she threatened me is now why I smirked. It was because while she did threaten me, she seemed somewhat nervous.

I wanted Val to go ahead and kill her for my own amusement, but then her and I would have to search for the strongest Pokemon our selves, which could take longer than expected. I pondered. If she refuses to help, Whether she lives or die, I won't get my answer. Someone like her who seems to be afraid probably doesn't know anything anyway.

I sighed in disappointment before looking at Val, followed by placing my hand on Val's head, ruffling up her hair. "Enough... It isn't worth our time. Lets just continue on." I said, in a rather defeated voice. "Besides, I'd rather have you show me your new power on a Pokemon that can survive a few hits." I said to her, reassuring her if she thought I didn't want to see her Power.

I looked back at the girl still holding the Dagger, and gave his most menacing glare.

"Step aside and we'll forget this moment ever existed." He said, hoping she'll do as he says to avoid further conflict.

 

[Iceshadow3317]

Shadow:

Shadow jumped as Orchird appeared out of no where, almost making him lose balance on Noivern.

"How did you get?" Shadow asked, looking back at Orchird.

"I was already up and the air and across the forest, but I guess you might have some of Tulip's abilities." Shadow said as he looked toward the direction of ice mountain.

In a distance he saw what looked like a Swanna, but he wasn't sure. Only one person he knew had a Swanna, and she was an old friend. However, he didn't pay any attention to said Swanna, knowing it wasn't probably her's. Before he left, she was sent on a trip to Kalos and the Lapidarian Highlands. The highlands was a place where movies would sometimes be filmed and is said to be one of the last unexplored regions in the world. But not much was known of it. Shadow wasn't even sure where it was located exactly.

"Are we gonna go get some clothes? I could use some furred lined lingerie." she winked at Shadow, cackling.

"I have already went if you didn't notice, haha." But I got some extra clothing you can wear. I bought a few extra jackets with the money Noivern made while flying Val to Mt. Silver. They are in my new bag. We aren't going to be gone long. And I guess with you with me, I can make sure you don't hurt the others." Shadow said.

They continued to fly for a little, Noivern was slowing down with the extra weight which he still wasn't totally used to. Shadow knew Noivern must be getting tired as well. Thinking back on what Lydia and the Xatu had said, he wished he could fly so that Noivern didn't have to support him all the time.

Finally, the Ice Cave was now in sight. Snow was on the ground within about a mile radius of the cave entrance. Shadow figured that the cave was cold enough for it to snow near the cave. Similar to Snowbelle City of the Kalos Region. Noivern slowly dove down and came to a stop about 20 feet from the cave.

"Thank you Noivern, in the future, I will try to use you less to help get around. I know you are exhausted." Shadow said as Noivern was breathing heavily. Shadow returned Noivern to his pokeball.

"Eevee come out." Shadow said.

Eevee suddenly came out and looked around. The wind was blowing slightly and the forest was covered in snow. Not far away, he saw two Teddiursa, an Ursaring, a Delibird. two Cubchoo and a Beartic making snowmen. Ursaring and Beartic were normally very aggressive. But the snow seemed to make them happy as they looked at Shadow and Orchird and waved, before heading back into the woods. Eevee started to hop and run through the snow. Happier than a Krookodile in the sun.

"How would you like to become like this Eevee?" Shadow asked, walking over to Eevee and squatting down.

Eevee had become a Snow Eevee now as it plated in the snow. Shadow laughed.

'Eevee!' Eevee sat, wagging its bushy tail. Eevee climbed on top of Shadow and rode on his shoulder.

"Come on then. Orchird, it is going to get colder from here on out. If you don't like it, then you should stay out here. But please don't mess with the forest. People doubt you have good in you, but you are part of Tulip. You must have some good in you." Shadow said turning toward the cave.

"Our objective is to find an Ice Stone. If Eevee hadn't liked the snow, I would have turned back. But Eevee wants to become the snow." Shadow said, as he walked through the snow.

The snow crunched under his foot steps, packing the snow in. He pulled out a second jacked it, and put it on over his other jacket, this time making sure Eevee was also covered, he the put a the hood up over his head.

I have a second objective to, but it is a secrete. A surprise for Arryn, one that I know she will like. Shadow thought as he started toward the cave once again, going slow enough that that Orchird could catch up.

________________________________________________________________________

Phoena:

It wasn't long before Phoena caught sight of a Noivern with two people on it. She placed her eye scope over her left eye and pressed a button to zoom in.

"Is.... is that him? No... why... I am not ready to do this yet... But why.... why is there a female with him.... one that is wearing something like that! Has he fallen for a whore!? No... I.... I had so many feelings for him.... I thought I made them obvious.... No it can't be him... or is it? He doesn't look the same. His hair is lighter. This one is oblivious to all... Shadow wouldn't be that oblivious to anything. But his eyes... his eyes look so familiar.... I need to follow him." Phoena said to herself.

Without taking orders, Swanna flew in the direction of the Noivern and followed from a distance. They soon came to the Ice Cave and the forest surrounding it, covered in snow. She landed and let Swanna return. They landed deeper in the forest to watch. She watched some pidgey flying around who seemed to be getting ready for autumn. She soon saw a group of bear pokemon and a delibird greet her with a smile, but continued on by.

"Well they are in a good mood. I guess the snow calms the territorial pokemon." Phoena said.

She was still a way away from Shadow and Orchird. There was no way they could hear her in the snow. Phoena hit a button on her outfit and it changed to an outfit that was more acceptable for the conditions of the weather around the Ice Cave.

 

[Strange]

Brian Sage

Pokemon

Spoiler:

Brian was flying, falling. Brian was dreaming.
His hair twirled around in the air as he floated in an endless void. He heard laughter, joy, fireworks, and the air felt like a summer breeze. Then the breeze picked up and the emotions changed. He felt cold, lost, and abandoned. The world around him felt like winter. He saw flashes of color, blurred objects moving around him. He saw the sky and the snow that fell on the ground. He saw pokemon playing in the snow. He felt joy as they played making shapes in the snow and waving at each other. He saw Shadow and Orchid on the back of Noivern.

Then the atmosphere changed, he felt guilt and lonesomeness as a new figure appeared. A girl he had never seen before. The only clear detail he could make out was her hair, It was a wonderful shade of blue. Then he saw the cave, and his dream changed as it faded to black.

He was once again floating. Only this time there was a ground beneath him. Then he fell, plummeting down towards the earth. He watched as people stared, not in horror but laughing at him. They weren't worried about him hitting the ground, they were laughing at his mistakes. He had made the wrong decision, and now they all thought he was a fool. Then, just before he hit the ground the dream once again went dark.

This time when the scene around him came into focus he recognized it. It was the day his father died. The day his father saved Brian's six year old life, by sacrificing his own in the process.

Brian was riding his father's Braviary with him. His arms wrapped around his father's stomach tightly. He remembered how much fun he would have flying around town with his father. They used to do it all the time before the accident that took his father's life. He watched in horror as that same accident occurred. He tried to scream, to warn him. But it was just a dream, he couldn't change the inevitable. His tiny fingers slipped, he flew off Braviary's back. He fell as he stared in horror as his dad turned braviary around and grabbed Brian with it's talons. However Braviary couldn't hold them both in this position, tilting sideways and screeching in pain it tried to stay up. Understanding the situation his father let go, allowing Braviary to fly Brian to safety.

The dream faded as pidgeotto's face became visable again.

"OWW!" Brian yelled as he jumped up, his face covered in peck marks. "You could have just dropped me in a lake, I think that would have been less painful." He joked as he pet pidgeotto's head. "Thanks buddy." He said affectionately. "I think I've had enough for today, how about we find something to eat and then get to bed?" His pokemon jumped around, excited for food. "Speaking of beds, where are we going to sleep?" He asked, hoping one of the others would hear him.
​

 

[Zatanna]

Orchid​

Orchid giggled as Shadow said she appeared from no where.

"I love doing that." she snickered.

Finally they landed.

"Honestly Shadow. I dont get cold. Im not sure why but I dont. Besides if I do you can give me your jacket or hold me in your arms or something." She giggled touching his guns.

"Our objective is to find an Ice Stone. If Eevee hadn't liked the snow, I would have turned back. But Eevee wants to become the snow."

Orchid bent down and looked at the Eevee.

"Wouldn't you rather become a poison type eevee? Im sure if I feed you my poison slowly, it could happen! I mean snow is soo... weak. Take Arryn for example. Shes a push over. Shes an ice type. Me on the other hand, am sexy, gorgeous, and ready for the kill and im a poison type." she said to it then standing back up to see the Ursaring.

"Oh! Wait give me a pokeball! I want to catch a Ursaring!" she said jumping up and down.

"Hurry up its getting away!" she whined.

[VillageofDragons]

Deacon Masterson

Deacon was laughing and flying around for a while before he noticed Tulip by herself curled up in a ball. He flew over to Tulip, landed, and touched her on the back to get her attention. "Hey, Tulip. I don't think I've gotten to know you yet. What's wrong? You seem down.." Deacon said to her. He knew he was probably getting himself into something he didn't want to be in, but he couldn't just let her stay like that forever. "Ooh, that blue flower looks pretty in your hair." Deacon said to her. He was trying to start a conversation with one of the hybrids he hadn't talked to before, but he was bad at it.

 

[Zatanna]

Tulip sniffled and looked up at Deacon, he was cute.

"Hey, Tulip. I don't think I've gotten to know you yet. What's wrong? You seem down.. Ooh, that blue flower looks pretty in your hair."

"Hey Deacon... No we haven't. Nothing's wrong... It's not something you want to deal with. Oh yeah? Its pretty but its not a very happy flower..." she said.

"well Im Tulip. I am a Grass and Fairy type hybrid. Orchid is me sorta. I am really lonely... If you really want to know. When I was little. I was in the forrest. I had just been attacked and I was sick and cold and afriad and alone and un loved. So I promised myself I would never be that way again. My way of feeling loved is having a boyfriend... I dont have one. Darren died. Jason left. So im back to being alone again and it makes me feel depressed... Its stupid I bet." she said looking down.

A tear fell from her face and hit the ground a little blue flower appearing.

 

[VillageofDragons]

Deacon Masterson

Deacon listened with genuine interest as Tulip talked to him. "Hey Deacon... No we haven't. Nothing's wrong... It's not something you want to deal with. Oh yeah? Its pretty but its not a very happy flower..." she said.
"Well it's nice to meet you. I can help you deal with it. It's sad that it's not a happy flower, but it still looks pretty." Deacon said as he smiled. He continued to listen to her talk. "Well I'm Tulip. I am a Grass and Fairy type hybrid. Orchid is me sorta. I am really lonely... If you really want to know. When I was little. I was in the forrest. I had just been attacked and I was sick and cold and afriad and alone and un loved. So I promised myself I would never be that way again. My way of feeling loved is having a boyfriend... I dont have one. Darren died. Jason left. So im back to being alone again and it makes me feel depressed... Its stupid I bet." she said looking down. "Nice to meet you, Tulip. Grass and Fairy are nice types to be. I know since you and Orchid split apart I guess she is a shell of what you were at a time, but this is the true you I suspect. It's not stupid at all! In fact, if you want I could be your boyfriend..." Deacon said to her. Deacon felt sad for her and wanted to help her out. He wasn't afraid of being rejected either. He just hoped she wouldn't get mad at him, laugh at him, or worst of all slap him in the face. Deacon waited for a response while his face turned red.

 

[Strange]

Brian Sage

Pokemon

Spoiler:

Brian looked around to see where everyone was, he noticed Deacon talking to Tulip. He listened to them intently, staring in their direction. He approached them slowly, walking behind them so they didn't see him.

"Hey, Tulip. I don't think I've gotten to know you yet. What's wrong? You seem down.. Ooh, that blue flower looks pretty in your hair."
"Hey Deacon... No we haven't. Nothing's wrong... It's not something you want to deal with. Oh yeah? Its pretty but its not a very happy flower..." she said.

"well Im Tulip. I am a Grass and Fairy type hybrid. Orchid is me sorta. I am really lonely... If you really want to know. When I was little. I was in the forrest. I had just been attacked and I was sick and cold and afriad and alone and un loved. So I promised myself I would never be that way again. My way of feeling loved is having a boyfriend... I dont have one. Darren died. Jason left. So im back to being alone again and it makes me feel depressed... Its stupid I bet." she said looking down.

A tear fell from her face and hit the ground a little blue flower appearing.

Brian bit his lip. He felt an emotion he had never felt before. At least he didn't remember feeling it. He was jealous, he had a feeling the way Deacon was talking to Tulip was an indication that he was straight, however Brian couldn't accept that. He started to get angry, his finger lighting on fire. But then he stopped himself, there was nobody to be angry at. He can't change how people feel about him. He decided not to interrupt their conversation. He pivoted around and walked off into the forest, his pokemon training behind him. He needed to be alone. He realized how tulip felt before, he wished it would stop. But he knew there was nothing he could do. He started to cry, a tear dripping down his face. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small pad and pencil he kept there for doodling. He then proceeded to write a note on the slightly singed paper.

"Dear friends,
Thank you for accepting me into your group, but I'm leaving. I realize now that I do not fit in and cannot contribute to your group goal of stopping team rocket. I was foolish to think otherwise, and I'm sorry for wasting your time. Tell deacon and Rex thanks for saving my life. I really owe them.
Sincerely, Brian"

He then snuck back to the edge of the forest where the others were, stuck the note on a treebranch and walked away. He thought he was doing the right thing, he didn't want to hold them back. He frowned as tears streamed down his face, its the right thing to do, he kept telling himself as he ran through the forest. "its the right thing to do"


​

 

[Zatanna]

Tulip looked at Deacon a bit wide eyed. She blushed and the flower turned from blue to a redish blue.

if you want I could be your boyfriend.

"R-really Deacon... O-okay if you're sure. Then I would like that." she bent over and kissed him softly.

"Well if we're dating then maybe we should get to know each other huh?" she giggled.

"Thanks Deacon you really helped me out." she smiled, hugging him.

"Well do you wanna go get some food or something? Since everyone is going their seperate ways...?" she asked standing up.

 

[Rain T.]

Val held back a sigh and another grimace as Gray's hand once again moved to her head, this time to ruffle her hair. She'd apparently have to get used to such treatment. It was...different. Really different, compared to how others had acted around her in Team Rocket. Except...
"Ow! Shit, you cut me again! Put away the Arceusdamn knife, you psychopath!"
"Aw, can't you handle a little pain? You know what happens when it get bored." A hand covered by a ridiculously long white glove lifted to cup her cheek, before moving to ruffle her hair. "Besides, denying me would make me angry... It's not wise to incur the wrath of the scariest and cruelest guy in Team Rocket."
"See if I car- son of a freakin' bitch! I said put that knife away! Damn it, why does the insane psychopath have to take such a freakin' interest in me?"
"You're being so rude, Valkyrie."
"Like I care-"
She jolted out of her memory, right before she recalled his name. She hadn't meant to zone out like she had. Luckily though, it hadn't seemed to be for very long. Though, Gray was speaking to her, and she'd missed the first part. But she got the gist of it, or at least thought she did. As Gray ordered the girl to step aside, Val eyed the female's weapon, already planning the quickest way to disarm her should the girl prove once again uncooperative and Gray order the attack.

 

[Dusty]

Delysia - Mt. Silver

The woman, Val if she had heard correctly, stood menacingly in front of the guy, shifting her grip on the sword before her. The air between them was tense and uncomfortable. It felt as though the two women would lunge at each other at the slightest provocation and all hell would break loose in the cavern. Delysia licked her lips, a nervous tick of her, and shifted the hatchet in her left hand as she stared at the two.

Finally the male spoke up. "Enough... It isn't worth our time. Lets just continue on." he said, sounding tired and bored. "Besides, I'd rather have you show me your new power on a Pokemon that can survive a few hits." Delysia fought down the urge to snort in derision, confident that she could take more than a few hits, and deal some as well. Regardless, she felt some, although not all, of the tension leaving her body. She let her muscles relax a bit but kept a tight grip on her weapons. "Step aside and we'll forget this moment ever existed", the man continued.

Delysia remained motionless for a moment, thinking. Somewhere in the cavern there was a steady drip drip drip of droplets of water hitting the stone floor. Now that she got a closer look at the pair, she deduced that they were probably both hybrids. Val had a pale purple aura about her, barely noticeable, even in the dark. The male probably was too, although it was more of a gut feeling with him. She didn't oppose helping the two of them, but she did hate taking orders. Plus the guy was extremely cocky.

She grudgingly stepped to one side of the path, gesturing with her hatchet. "Fine, go ahead if you want. I can show you where to train if you want, all you had to say was please and not be a dick about it." Then she got an idea. "Oh, but if you do want my help, I want something in return. Follow me to somewhere you can train if you want. Or not, I don't care." She turned their back on them and started walking deeper into the mountain tunnels, not even checking if they were following or not. What do I even want from them? That last part had mostly been just tacked on. She didn't even know what she wanted. Ah well, she would figure that out later.

 

[VillageofDragons]

Deacon Masterson

Deacon smiled happily as he waited for her response. Then she looked at him and responded. "R-really Deacon... O-okay if you're sure. Then I would like that." she bent over and kissed him softly. What she did next surprised Deacon. His heart melted and his eyes turned to hearts. Deacon face planted on the ground as he had never been kissed by a girl before, though he did like girls. He stood back up and looked at her dreamily. "Well if we're dating then maybe we should get to know each other huh?" she giggled. "Yes, we should get to know each other. From meeting you so far I can tell you're very sweet..." Deacon said. He was happy with himself and his heart was still melting while facing Tulip. In fact he was shaking which didn't happen often, indicating he felt weary. "Thanks Deacon you really helped me out." she smiled, hugging him. "No problem. You're very sweet and you'll be a great girlfriend." Deacon said back to her. He felt her encase her arms around him and hug him, which only made his heart melt faster. Deacon returned the favor by hugging Tulip back and kissing her on the lips. He felt his heart melt away. Then he backed out and listened to her talk. "Well do you wanna go get some food or something? Since everyone is going their seperate ways...?" she asked standing up. "Sure! I am taking you to lunch. Where would you like to go? I'm buying." Deacon said to her. He pulled out his wallet which had lots of Pokemoney in it and then put it back in his pocket.

Tulip smiled at Deacon as he kissed her again. She blushed a little when he hugged her then stood up.

"Oh wow. Big spender. Well I dont really care where we go because the company is so great." she giggled, linking arms with him.

"So Deacon tell me about your past. I know thats kinda hard but I wont judge I promise." she said smiling.

She saw a note on a tree but decided to ignore it.

Orchid growled, taking a pokeball from Shadow and running over to the spot the Ursaring were at.

"You made me miss it! Ugh! Asshole." she growled walking back over to him.

"Lets go." she grunted.

Shadow:

Shadow sighed when Orchid snatched a pokeball from him. He put a hand on her shoulder and listened. Although some pokemon were calm, there were more aggressive ones waiting.

"Time for me to teach you a little something Orchid. I see that you wanted to catch a pokemon, but that pokemon had a child. Do you think those baby pokemon would survive? You need to learn to think about things before reacting. At least when it comes to the group. Also, it is not nice to snatch a poke ball from someone like that. You should have waited little miss. You do remind me a bit of the old Tulip. More so than Tulip reminds me of Tulip." Shadow said, putting a finger on Orchid's shoulder.

"Now then, about that Ursaring, how about you find one that is aggressive. One that doesn't have a family." Shadow suggested.

Shadow took his finger off her shoulder, "And also... there isn't an eeveelution that is poison at the moment. None have been discovered. Also... how do you not get cold? Someone like you I figured would get cold, especially in those clothes. And my heat probably wouldn't require me to hold you. You probably could just stay close. You know as well is Tulip, that I like Arryn." Shadow said turning away.

He thought about some things before talking again, but then started, "Why do you seem to like me anyways? I am no leader. I am no commander. I do not want to force you to do anything. I didn't even react in the Haven. I looked at Arryn and asked for help. So why do you continue to like me if you like someone who can control matters?"
