Darren

"I saw some Pidgey's and Spearow's on Route 7 on my way from Caledon City," Arryn said with a shake of her head. "Too far to walk...." Darren muttered as he walked out of the alley, "but Aerodactyl might be able to fly us there and back pretty quick". Darren grabbed a pokeball off his belt and tossed it in the air, sending out Aerodactyl. The fossil pokemon stretched it's wings and let out a roar. "Think you could fly us to route 7 real quick?" the pokemon nodded and lowered it's body for it's trainer to get on. Darren climbed up and looked to Arryn, "Wanna walk or fly?".
 

Arryn​
Darrens' Aerodactyl is beyond intimidating. The roar seems to reverberate through her entire body and she hesitates... It is too far a walk and I should get used to feeling of flying.

"Fly," Arryn decides finally.

She returns her Absol in the Pokeball that she had at the ready and tucks it safely in her coat pocket.

Arryn looks worryingly at the Aerodactyl. She takes a deep breath and climbs on behind Darren.

 
Darren

Darren notices a worried look on Arryn's face. "Don't worry, he won't bite.... unless I tell him to". Darren grins then looks down at Houndoom. "Mind staying here and keeping an eye on things while we're gone?" Houndoom shakes it's head in disapproval, "It beats sitting inside your pokeball." Houndoom sighs then walks back to the building. "Alright Aerodactyl, let's go." Darren grabs the pokemon's neck. Aerodactyl flaps it's wings as it moves up into the sky. hovering. "Umm.... route 7 is...." Darren looks up at the moon then back down towards the ground. "That way" Darren points, Aerodactyl flies to the route in response.

In about ten minutes Aerodactyl flew out of the city and above the route. "Land by that tree". Aerodactyl gently glides down to a big tree next to a hill and lands. Darren hops off and looks around. "Now to find some pokemon".
 

Arryn​
"Don't worry, he won't bite… unless I tell him to." Darren grins back at her and Arryn nods sarcastically at him, smiling.

"Haha."

She bunches the back of Darren's shirt in her hands, keeping her balanced as he requests for his Houndoom to stay and keep an eye on the apartment. Houndoom hates being in its pokeball as much as Shadow does, she thinks, amused.

"Alright Aerodactyul, let's go."

Arryn holds on for dear life as the Pokemon flies upwards. Darren points towards Route 7 and they're off – she keeps her eyes sealed shut until they're firmly back on the ground.

"Now to find some Pokemon."

Arryn slides off the Aerodactyl and stands next to Darren on shaky legs.

How am I going to do this flying thing by myself? Ugh, toughen up; she chastises herself.

 
Darren

Darren spun in a circle to get a good view of the land. "I think we should split up. That way we can cover more ground and hopefully find something faster". Darren started walking towards some tall grass as Aerodactyl folded it's wings laid down. Darren grabbed another pokeball and tossed it up, sending out a Honedge. "Alright, let's go find some pokemon".
 
Darren

Darren stops and turns. "Um, an hour should be enough time". Darren turned and started walking again. Not sure if I'll catch a flying type or not. I know we need more for travel, but I need variety on my team... oh well guess I'll just catch what I find.

Darren and Honedge walked through the grass. Darren spotted a big rock and sat down. "What are we doing Honedge?". The sword pokemon floated in front of it's trainer. "We lived our lives on our own then all of a sudden we join a group of strangers. And now here we are catching pokemon just because some girl asked us to." Honedge moved side to side and slashed the air. "Yeah, I'm not sure why I said 'we', you never had a say in the matter". Darren heard grass rustle and jumped off the rock, waiting to see what came out.

Houndoom

Houndoom looked up at the moon as it walked back to the apartment. A Ratatta jumped out of a dumpster, startling the canine. Houndoom spit fire at the rat, scaring it off, then made it's way inside the building. Houndoom walked into the apartment and laid down by the couch.

Rex Dart
How Do I Get Into These Situations?

Rex lets everyone squabble with each other. They are just children, after all, and argue like Torchics fighting over corn. He'll step in if necessary.

Admittedly, when Tulip approaches Gray, he didn't expect her to deck him in the face. Before ge can step in, she uses her magic to teleport him to the park.

"I already broke the promise by harming Arryn..." Gray says, looking down. "I don't wanna do it again... I guess I needed that punch, Tulip."

"Ummm..." Rex looks at Gray in confusion, having missed part of his monologue.

"You didn't hear a thing..." Gray glares at Rex.

"Hence my confusion." Rex shakes his head, which is starting to hurt. "Whatever. We have our mission, let's go get it done. All this arguing is making me hungry. You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry. It puts me in a bad mood..." He cracks his knuckles, scowling in annoyance.
 
Gray

"Whatever. We have our mission, let's go get it done. All this arguing is making me hungry. You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry. It puts me in a bad mood..."

"Is that So?" I start to grin, letting my inner evil come out. "I might wanna see that Power of yours!" I said, My eyes widening in excitement. "C'mon Big guy! Lets see what kind of power you got!" I yell, eagerly to finally see the Power rex has stored within him.

I have an obsession with power. Knowing somebody that could be stronger than me was something I wanted for so long, and now, There might be someone who could actually beat me up. Speaking of beat up, I wonder why Darren let weaklings hurt him...? It might be that Compassion thing? Eh... We got a job to do... Fighting can wait.

"... We'll fight later. For now, Lets just get what we need and go back to the apartment. Wanna split up or work together?" I asked, calming myself down and focusing on the task at hand.
 
Rex

Gray seems to go a little loco in the coco for a moment, a feral gleam in his eyes and a wild smile on his face. Rex considers actually fighting him, maybe finally putting him in his place, but Gray brings himself back under control. "We'll fight later...

"Looking forward to it."

"For now, Lets just get what we need and go back to the apartment. Wanna split up or work together?"

"I'm not so good at picking targets. Just point me someplace and I'll get what we need. Smash and grab is my specialty. You can do things your way, though."
 

I hummed lyrics to a catchy pop song as I kept cooking I see the houndoom walk in and I smile walking over to it.

"Why hello there! Did you come to help me cook? Thats great!" She smiled rubbing behind its ears and kissing its head softly.

She walked back to the kitchen and flipped pattys, checked on the bread, tossed the salad, then she looked at the extra dough and berries on the counters and took out a dish. She added some sugar to the dough and rolled it again putting some in the bottom of the pan. Next she cut up some berries and threw them in the pan and covered it with more dough. She put that in the oven.

She smiled as she walked outside. There was a dead Swellow sitting in its nest. It looked like it was hit with a lightning bolt or something... She sent out her Gardevoir to teleport the bird down and she took it inside. Inside she started to pluck all the feathers off. She hummed trying not to throw up looking at the bird. After that was done she cut off its head and rubbed some seasoning on it.

"Houndoom! I dont have any more room in the oven so could you come help me?" She asked the pokemon going back outside. She found a stick on the ground and stuck it through the Swellow and propped it up in the back.

"Can you Barbecue this for me? When it looks done bark and ill come down and check it out!" She smiled sweetly petting the dog before going back upstairs. Upstairs then she started to clean. She looked at the couches and chairs and bed and sent out Gardevoir to help her. From one of their previous excursions, she had stolen some beautiful fabric and hid it in the closet. She took that out and started to fix everything. First the couches, shoving some altaria fluff in it then sewing it up, same with the couch and the bed. She make the fabric into sheets for the bed and smiled at the beautiful job she just did. She then went to the bathroom and got some soap and water and a cloth and started cleaning up the floors and walls. By the time she was done with everything the apartment was unrecognizable. It was clean and pretty even. She sighed sitting down on the couch. The couch, the recliners, and the bed were all fixed up. the floors were clean and the walls weren't dirty. She even shined up the wooden dining table and set it up in the living room.

"I hope they'll be back soon... dinners almost done!" She then went to the kitchen taking everything out and making it look all pretty setting it up on the table. She went outside when Houndoom barked and took the Swellow inside and set that up prettily. Then her and Houndoom sleepily sat on the couch.

"Oh... Houndoom...? One more thing..." she said yawning, "Make sure the food doesn't get cold will you?" She said then slowly falling asleep on the couch.
 
Darren

Darren and Honedge stared at the grass moving in front of them. "Shinx?" A small Shinx hopped out and looked at the two. Darren looked down at the electric pokemon, "Just a shinx. I was hoping for something else, but I guess you'll do. Honedge, slash". The sword pokemon flew over to Shinx and slashed, Shinx jumped out of the way and let out a screech. Darren covered his ears, not expecting a sound that loud to come out of a creature that small. Darren saw sparks of electricity shoot up from the grass a few yards away. Apparently this Shinx isn't alone. "Honedge, slash again!". The sword pokemon moved in for another slash but got knocked back by a thunderbolt from a Luxray. Now this is better. "Honedge! Night slash!". Honedge spun behind Luzray and hit the electric type with night slash. Luxray responded with another thunderbolt, causing Honedge to fall to the ground. Darren thought back his confrontation with Gray. I'm going to end up fighting him eventually. Might as well get some practice in. "Honedge return!". Darren returned the sword pokemon to it's pokeball and stepped forward. "Alright Luxray, I'm up." Darren pulled his katana out and a black aura surrounded the blade.

Luxray fired a thunderbolt at Darren, who dove to the side then fired a shadow ball at the pokemon. Luxray shot the ball with electricity, causing it to explode. Darren lifted his arm up to protect his face from the explosion. Can't see anything through that smoke.. Luxray jumped through the smoke and bit Darren's arm with a thunder fang. Electricity shot through Darren's body, knocking him to the ground and causing him to drop his sword. Darren's hands burst into flames and he punched Luxray in the jaw, knocking it off of him, then he ran to pick up his sword. Darren dove underneath a thunderbolt and grabbed his katana, then fired two shadow balls as he rolled. Darren stood up as another thunderbolt was coming his way. The thunder attack struck the katana. Of course... the steel blade acts as a lightning rod. Darren ran towards Luxray, holding the katana off to the side. As Luxray shot another thunderbolt Darren threw his katana into the air, drawing the electric attack to it, then fire punched the pokemon between the eyes. Darren grabbed an empty pokeball and raised his arm to activate it but looked at the Shinx standing near the grass. Shinx was shaking in fear as it watched it's parent get defeated by the human. Darren sighed and put the pokeball down. As useful as this Luxray would be on my team, it wouldn't be right to take it. Darren picked up his katana, sheathed it, then walked away.

Houndoom

"Why hello there! Did you come to help me cook? Thats great!" Tulip said, walking up to Houndoom. Houndoom tilted it's head in confusion as Tulip pet and kissed it. Houndoom sat and looked around. As Houndoom watched Tulip leave the room, he made his way to the food and climbed up onto the counter to eat. Tulip called "Houndoom!" Houndoom dropped to the ground as it heard Tulip, "I dont have any more room in the oven so could you come help me?". Houndoom grumbled and walked over to the girl who was holding a Swellow on a stick. She placed the stick down and Houndoom used flamethrower on it. Houndoom barked and Tulip picked up the cooked bird. Houndoom followed Tulip around until she fell asleep, then the pokemon walked over and sat by the door waiting for it's trainer to return.
 

Arryn​
Arryn walks at a slow pace as to not startle the wild Pokemon into further hiding. It already feels like an hour has passed with finding absolutely nothing in the woods.

"There doesn't seem to be any wild Pokemon about at this time… should we just go back?" She talks in a whisper to her Absol.

Shadow nods and turns around, trekking back the way they came.

This means I'll have to share with someone, the thought didn't bother her as much as it did flying on her own. It's not really the Pokemon, just being hundreds of feet in the air and slipping at any moment – terrifying.

With nothing to show for her wasted hour, Arryn crosses her arms grumpily as they head back to the tree.

I've only caught two Pokemon in my life. Not that I'm lazy, just having too many would cause more pain down the road. The need to protect herself from emotional pain was why she was utterly content with her two Pokemon. If worse came to worse – she was always up to fight in place for another four.

They reach the three in the next fifteen minutes of comfortable silence. Arryn leans her back against it, already feeling tired from the events of the day and waits for Darren.

Maybe he had better luck than I did.

 
Gray

"I'm not so good at picking targets. Just point me someplace and I'll get what we need. Smash and grab is my specialty. You can do things your way, though."

I turned and walked to the street.

"Good, Things were gonna go my way either way." I said with confidence. "See that building?" I asked as I pointed to the fairly large building. "That's Silph.co. One of the largest Pokemon Corporations in the world, The largest being Devon Corp. in Hoenn. In Silph.co, there are several floors. The basement being a cafeteria with a variety of foods and ingredients. You might like raiding that place." I mentioned with a smirk. "The second floor on the other hand contains Pokeballs, Potions, And any other useful Items trainers may find useful in a battle. I'll get those. Now, This place isn't any Pokemart. It would be easier to raid a Pokemart, Its in an out. But unlike a Pokemart, This place is Packed with security and Pokemon trainers. They're all weak, So I'm not too excited, but they hold Power in numbers..." I explained.

"I know this place in and out, And My power makes it easy for me to Get along with Electric and Steel type Pokemon. They try to use Magnemite as their cameras... But they know who I am. All they have to do is see you with me, And the alarm won't go off. If the alarm were to go off, Police from all over Kanto would be gathered here. Not really much of a surprise, since most of Kanto's produced Items come from Silph.co."

"Your job, Is to get as much Food, Drinks, Snacks, Ingredients and cooking utensils that one might say that it could last us a life time. Don't worry, You don't gotta carry all of it. You'll have to bring it to that truck." I said, pointing to a parked delivery truck. "That truck now belongs to us. Leave breaking into it up to me. We'll be going back and forth filling that truck up till it runs out of space."

"You Ready?"

After a little nap Tulip awoke like a princess. Her hair still looking perfect and she was energized and refreshed.

"Hmmm... I wonder if anyone needs help.... Oh! I got it!" She dug in her purse and took out a twisted spoon on a necklace and sent out her Gardevoir.

"Gardevoir! Darling! So I was wondering. With this twisted spoon do you think you could teleport objects super long distances?" She asked tilting her head a little.

"I know you don't have any help... Maybe somebody could use helping hand... What about then?"

"Well... I suppose I could teleport a few things but then ill be exhausted..." The Gardevoir said telepathically.

"Okay... Anything to make the ride easier! Also while you're here... Can you teleport me to Arryn and Darren please?" She asked politely. The gardevoir nodded and they grabbed hands teleporting behind Arryn.

"BOO!" Tulip yelled behind Arryn.
 

Arryn​
"BOO!"

Arryn screams, loud and piercing as she lurches forward, away from the threat behind her. She spins only to face a beaming Tulip.

"You have got to stop doing that," she holds a hand to her chest, over her racing heart. "Really, just make a noise, a small noise."

It can't be good that her only defence is to scream... honestly, where did those years of training her powers go when Tulip jumps out of nowhere?

 

Why should I stop? You deserve it. I had dibs on Gray and you're trying to steal him from me. You aren't even that pretty! Bitch.

I smiled softly. "Im sorry!Anyways wheres Darren? I came to teleport you home. I figured it would be easier than walking." She smiled at you then shot you a look of hatred then back to smiling.
 
Darren

Darren rolled the sleeve of his jacket up his arm and looked at the bite mark from Luxray. Dang, that thing had a powerful bite. I can still feel the zap from it to. Darren looked back and watched the Luxray and Shinx disappear into the grass. Better luck next time I guess. Darren walked through tall grass for twenty minutes before seeing the tree. I wonder if Arryn had any luck. Wait, is that Tulip? How the heck did she get here?. Darren walked up the hill to the girls. "Any luck?".
 
Rex

"Your job, Is to get as much Food, Drinks, Snacks, Ingredients and cooking utensils that one might say that it could last us a life time. Don't worry, You don't gotta carry all of it. You'll have to bring it to that truck. That truck now belongs to us. Leave breaking into it up to me. We'll be going back and forth filling that truck up till it runs out of space."

All in all, a solid plan. With Gray as the inside man taking out the cameras, Rex is delegated as the muscle. But that suits him just fine.

"You Ready?" Gray has that crazed look again, but this time, Rex is wearing a matching grin. He clenches his fists, a shimmering aura of cobalt blue surrounding his body. A low rumble starts in his chest as his muscles swell slightly and his skin hardens. The growl becomes a laugh, and Rex pumps his fist enthusiastically as the aura fades. "I was BORN ready!"
 

Arryn​
The look of hatred Tulip sent her way was completely shocking and Arryn's brows furrowed. What was that about?

"Any luck?" Darren walks up beside them.

Arryn shakes her head with pursed lips. "No wild Pokemon in sight," she pointedly turns away from Tulip to address Darren. "I'm guessing you didn't have much luck either?"
