Rex

Rex shushes Tulip gently, but firmly. "All you need to do is rest. Your boyfriend would be devastated if I let anything happen to you."

He washes the blood from her face, inspecting the injury. "Head wounds always look worse than they are. You'll be fine in no time." He sprays a Potion over her cut to disinfect it, putting a compress over it to stop the bleeding. He lays her on the bed, handing her a glass of water with a straw. "Drink this, it'll make your head feel better."
 
Shadow (Hybrid):

Shadow walked by Gray as he glared at him, but it didn't really have any affect on him. He walked up the steps and into the door of the apartment.

"Uh... Am I still welcomed here? If not, just let me stay for a bit while I heal and I will leave as soon as I am better."

Shadow said as he took a seat in his chair that he was suppose to be sleeping in. He was tired, sore and hungry. He realized he hadn't ate anything. But he wasn't sure he could eat at this moment in time. He took of his shirt and as he did, pain surged through his side. A massive purple bruise covered his whole left side.

"Ah. No wonder I feel like crap." Shadow said.

"What...? No... I dont have a boyfriend silly... Okay... Let me clean...Do you want a snack?"

She sipped on the water things starting to go blurry.
 

Arryn​
She stays at the park for another hour, sleeping at the base of a tree when she awakens to the gentle prodding of her Absol. She reaches up to rub her head and regrets it immediately; her entire body was humming in pain.

"Ow…" she mumbles.

Arryn is standing in about five minutes as getting her legs to cooperate took longer than expected. It's about six am with the sun just about to rise, I need to get back before they wake up.

She moves at a slow pace with Shadow but eventually the apartment comes into view.

Gray is there.

Suppressing a sigh as she knows the Spanish inquisition is coming her way, Arryn stumbles towards the apartment – her stealth is at an all-time low as her hip slams into a car on the way.

 
Shadow (Hybrid):

He listened to the giant who he was starting to like the most. He liked how he acted. Apparently stealing a fridge from Team Rocket.

"Don't worry. I don't usually cause trouble. But today.... I seem to be getting sucked into it. But it is a nice change in pace. Not every day where I have people trying to kill me." He said.

Shadow tried to always have humor in the things he said unless it came to fighting. Shadow slowly got up and searched for a potion. He didn't really want to use someone elses items, but he really needed it this time. He would pay them back the next time he was able to withdraw some money. He grabbed the potion he had found and prayed it on to the bruise. It stung badly for a moment, but then settled. The bruise was still there, but he knew it would take a bit for it to disappear. He walked into where he thought was a kitchen and grabbed a swellow leg and started to eat it.

"Thank you. For everything." Shadow said as he started to think about his whole life. Not once did he feel like he belonged somewhere, but he never really minded.

He looked down at his talonflame necklace. A tear formed in his eyes. As he thought about his sister.

I am sorry I couldn't save you that night. I should have tried. I really should have tried. But I was afraid. But now I want to protect anyone and everyone in danger. But who will protect me when I need it?

He let his necklace drop back down into place and he looked over at Rex and Tulip.

"Hey Rex. Is there anything I can help you with?" Shadow asked as he finished the swellow leg.

"You can help me by bringing that fine ass over here." I say. I sound drunk. i giggle things starting to blur and lights flashing.
 
Rex

Rex makes a sound somewhere between a sigh and a laugh. "Just trying to keep our little party together. Tulip's visions are getting stronger, and kicking her ass now. Gray is Gray, Arryn is a little impulsive, and Darren seems to be looking for an excuse to run away. And yet, I haven't felt like this in years. Like what I do matters to someone."

He shrugs and smiles at Shadow, rising to get some food. "I appreciate the offer. Anything I can do for you?"
 
Shadow (Hybrid):

"I know what you mean. And I know Arryn is impulsive already. She nearly got herself killed. But she is very strong. You forgot to mention Tulip is the biggest flirt I have ever seen. Then again, I usually do not know how act around people." Shadow smiled as he walked over to where Tulip was recovering. He smiled down at her. "But I guess that isn't always a bad thing."

The big man dwarfed even him and he was 6'5" definitely someone he would never want to make mad.

"I appreciate the offer. Anything I can do for you?" Rex asked him,

"No I fine. Tired, but fine. I am used to going a day or two without sleep." Shadow said.

He couldn't help, but notice how pretty Tulip was. Just like the flower. And strangely, he seemed attracted by her, but he didn't show it. He thought maybe it was because of her Fairy Aura and as they say opposites attract. She was also the first person to ever want him to follow her. Even though he still was a little nervous around these people. He felt like he was suppose to be here.

Arryn​
Arryn winces as the car alarm rings out, worsening her already painful headache.

I just need a Potion and I'll be strong enough to go help Shadow.

She shoves the door open, stumbles in and catches herself on the dining table chair. Sucking in an unsteady breath, she reaches for the bag of potions and heals that Rex and Gray had acquired, searching through for a simple potion. A small boost will be enough for now.
Shadow​
Shadow acknowledges the others in the room as Arryn stays unaware, focusing on finding a potion. She paces into the kitchen and tugs on Rex's pants with her teeth.

 
Rex

Arryn's stumbling draws Rex's attention, and her Absol's silent plea spurs him to action. He takes hold of the bag, pulling it from her grip. "Here, let me help." He digs through the bag, pulling out a bottle. Rather than a topical spray, this potion is drank, spreading the healing throughout the whole body.

Rex leads Arryn to the arm chair, handing her the Super Potion. "Drink this, you'll feel better."
 

Arryn​
"Here, let me help," a large hand that could only belong to Rex gently removes the bag of heals as he rummages through it himself. He pulls out a bottle of liquid and she licks her parched lips.

Rex has her sit in the armchair and gives her the potion. "Drink this, you'll feel better."

Arryn flips the cap and begins gulping the contents. I'm already feeling better…not enough to move so quick, but better. Her eyes find Shadows behind Rex.

"You're back!" Arryn tries to get up but her muscles protest. Never mind. "How did you get out of there?" She's somewhat in awe that Shadow managed to escape with his life and not look as rundown as she feels.

 
Darren

Houndoom woke up and looked around the room. Tulip got out of bed and put her dress on, then moved to Houndoom. Houndoom zipped Tulip's dress then looked to Darren who was still sleeping. Houndoom walked to the side of the bed and fell back asleep near it's trainer. Hours later Darren awoke, staring at the ceiling. Darren rubbed his eyes, yawning then looked over to where Tulip would have been. "So much for getting outof here before anybody woke up..." Darren muttered as he sat up. Darren rubbed his neck and slowly stood up, That battle sure did a number on me, didn't think I'd be this sore. "Ready to go Houndoom? We've got a long walk ahead of us before we reach Vermillion". Houndoom woke up and stood, watching his trainer. Darren slid his katana and sheath over his arm and behind his back. promise not to leave me.... Darren remembered the words Tulip said to him just before he fell asleep. Not sure I could promise that... Darren picked up his jacket and put it on. Then again, she's wanting to get out of here too. Maybe she'd want to come to Hoenn too? I'll talk to her about it later, if I get the chance.

Darren pulled the money out of the inside of his jacket and counted it. Not enough for two tickets, but I'm sure I could win some more money if she were to tag along... I'd have to find a new fight club though... Darren slowly walked to the door then stopped as he put his hand on the knob. But it might be better if Houndoom and I just leave on our own. That way nobody gets hurt and I won't get too attached to anybody. Darren opened the door and walked out of the room, followed by Houndoom. Darren saw Tulip on the couch, wounded, and Arryn sitting in a chair also wounded. Darren looked at Shadow who had a huge bruise on his side, then back to Tulip. "What the hell happened?" The one time I oversleep, and I walk out into a room full of wounded people...
 
Rex

Rex turns to see Darren emerge frim the bedroom, obviously confused. Rex shakes the bag of potions lightly, like one would shake bag of pet treats. "Morning, Darren. Need a pick-me-up? We got potions from Silph Co! Long story short, Tulip had another vision, a real doozy this time, and these two went and attacked Team Rocket. Like, all of them. They probably won't be able to show it on the news because of how brutal it was."
 
Shadow (Hybrid):

Shadow's eyes catches Arryn and... well Shadow the Absol. He sees her trying to get up, but fails.

"Just rest for now, Arryn. You look terrible. That was brave at what you did, but stupid none the less." Shadow smiled with a slight humor in his voice.

He looked at Tulip with a final glance then walked away and walked toward Arryn. He looked down at her as he talked.

"I would have come looking for you, but... I probably wouldn't have even been able to help. Besides, I think Gray wanted to find you. I didn't have to fight too much. I think I scared them for the most part. At least that is what I thought. But then was attacked on the ground floor. Took a poison jab to the side, but I had a Pecha Berry, otherwise, I'd probably still be at the place. I had to use... an unfair method to take care of them though. Then again, they are Team Rocket. If it had been any other group, I'd probably be in trouble." Shadow said.

He heard Darren come out of the room. He hadn't talked to Darren at all. So he wasn't sure what to say. He listened to Rex for a moment as he said it had been brutal.

"Arryn was the one that went. She snuck out of the house when everyone was asleep. I probably should have woken all of you up. If I had, I am not sure I would of made in time. I only did what was right."

Shadow walked away and looked on the window to the rising sun. He was about to tell them about the lightning beast, but decided it was for the best if he didn't. Although he wasn't sure if they really cared or not, but by the sound of what Rex had said earlier 'trying to keep out little group together' Shadow figured that they were having conflicts between them. And he had added fuel to the fire with his arrival. He wasn't sure if he wanted to stay, not because he didn't want to, but because it might be better for this group. He was pretty sure that Gray already wanted him dead for some reason. He wasn't sure why. He thought about asking what had happened to Tulip, but wasn't sure if it was his place to ask. So he continued looking out of the window at the rising sun.

Arryn​
"Just rest for now, Arryn. You look terrible. That was brave at what you did, but stupid none the less." Shadow comments jokingly.

"I suppose it was..." Arryn chuckles through the pain in her ribs.

"I would have come looking for you, but... I probably wouldn't have even been able to help. Besides, I think Gray wanted to find you. I didn't have to fight too much. I think I scared them for the most part. At least that is what I thought. But then was attacked on the ground floor. Took a poison jab to the side, but I had a Pecha Berry, otherwise, I'd probably still be at the place. I had to use... an unfair method to take care of them though. Then again, they are Team Rocket. If it had been any other group, I'd probably be in trouble."

She shakes her head, sitting upright in the chair as the potion begins to take effect. "I was going to grab a potion and run back to help you. I... fell asleep in the park," how embarrassing... "I guess I was just worn out from all that happened. I'm glad you're fine though, there were a lot of people left when you saved me."

Darren walks out and takes in the scene, "what the hell happened?"

Rex answers, "morning, Darren. Need a pick-me-up? We got potions from Silph Co! Long story short, Tulip had another vision, a real doozy this time, and these two went and attacked Team Rocket. Like, all of them. They probably won't be able to show it on the news because of how brutal it was."

"Arryn was the one that went. She snuck out of the house when everyone was asleep. I probably should have woken all of you up. If I had, I am not sure I would of made in time. I only did what was right."

Arryn sinks into the armchair, embarrassed at being called out on her impulsiveness. If it weren't for Shadow, I would be dead right now.

 
Darren

"Need a pick-me-up? We got potions from Silph Co!" Rex said. Darren over to the table, "Nah, I'm fine. A little sore but that'll wear off in few hours at most". Darren's right hand burst into flame and he moved it around the Swellow. Darren pulled a chunk of meat off and started eating, then handed a piece to Houndoom. This is probably a bad time to mention that I'm leaving. Darren glanced over at Tulip, I couldn't talk to her right now anyway. Although maybe it's best if I don't... Darren picked up the rest of the Swellow and walked outside with Houndoom.

Darren whistled and Aerodactyl came down from the rooftop. "Good job at keeping watch" Darren said sarcastically. Aerodactyl lowered it's head and muttered. "It's fine, nobody's dead...yet." Darren held the Swellow in front of the fossil pokemon, "Hungry?" Aerodactyl nodded and Darren threw the meat to it. "Go ahead and hang out on the roof for now. Nobody's going to see you up there unless they know you're there already." Aerodactyl nodded then flew back to the roof. Darren looked down at Houndoom, "Should we leave now or wait to say bye?" Houndoom shrugged.
 
Shadow:

Shadow realized he had not yet cleaned off his swords.

"Greninja, come out for a moment please." Shadow asked and the pokemon appeared from its pokeball.

"Could you clean these for me on the roof?" Shadow asked.

Greninja took the two swords and climbed out of the window. Shadow turned to Darren who walked outside.

"Hmm I forgot about Aerodactyl being out there.... I am surprised I didn't wake him up."

After that, Shadow turned to the others. He brought out one pokeball. And an Eevee appeared.

"Hey little Eevee. I see you are looking better. Do you want to stay with me?" Shadow asked.

The little Eevee looked up at him for a moment

'Eevee!' The pokemon smiled as it crawled up Shadow's body.

"Haha awesome."

At that moment Greninja returned with his swords and handed them back to Shadow.

"Thanks Greninja. You can rest now. That you for earlier."

'Greninja.' The ninja frog pokemon nodded and returned to its pokeball.

Shadow and the Eevee walked over to Tulip. Eevee jumped down and curled up in a ball on Tulip.

"Well I guess Eevee likes you Tulip." He smiled as he sheathed his swords at his sides.

In time, I hope I can learn to form swords with a small amount of pure power so I can stop carrying the dang things around. I guess I could always use Duoblade. He thought. He turned back to the kitchen and got a bottle of water to drink. His watch started going off. He quickly turned it off and silenced it.

Damn. Do they seriously already know?
 
Moderator warning:

While it is nice that you are having fun roleplaying so swiftly, we are trying to keep a certain standard here in the RPT. We implemented the 100 words rule to make sure that effort would be put into each post, rather than one liners forth and back - the latter is more suited for instant-messaging, or at least a different medium than forum roleplaying on PokéCommunity.

This is an official warning, and I will also hand out private yellow cards to the players who have ignored the RPT rules repeatedly. If you plan on interacting with another player and don't feel like typing up the few extra lines that can constitute your characters feelings or thoughts or anything else going on around you, why not create a joint post (JP) instead?

If you have any objections or confusion, please contact me in a Private Message.

(To be honest, I completely forgot about the 100 word rule ^^'. Thanks for the reminder!)

Gray

I watched as Arryn slumped herself towards the apartment. She looked terrible, All bruised and battered. She walked passed me without a word and into the apartment.

"... Reckless..." I said under my breath.

Everyone was in the house as I remained outside. I didn't feel like being surrounded by everyone. I was also waiting for Light.

Soon, Light came back to me via electric currents from the streetlights. It emerged from the bulb as the beast that revealed itself to Shadow.

"...Woa..." I said to myself, stepping back, shocked at my Power's physical form. After I took in it's change, I started to question the lightning beast.

"Hmph! I can feel your power. You should have been able to Kill Shadow. What made you let him go?" I asked the beast, Somewhat displeased. It stared at me for a few seconds before destabilizing itself and shooting back into me. Once It did, I learned of what had happen, receiving all of it's recent memories.

"... I see. So that's why you left AND why you took so long. For a lightning beast, I expected YOU to be here before shadow, but now I know why. Arryn may be pleased with this information!" I said, once again proud of my Power.

"We'll go back into the apartment and let them all know what we're going to do."

I may be the meanest, And I may not be the strongest in the group. But one thing's for certain. I'm the closest to a leader they'll ever have.


I think back to how I strategically planned out the raid at Silph.co and our get away. That raid was a huge contribution to the group.
Arryn, Darren and Tulip have already used some of the supplies we've gotten. If we didn't have them, who knows what could have happened to them...

"Shadow's a lucky person that I listen to what others have to say... Speaking of Shadow, Do you think he'll tell the group what had happen? Eh... I really don't care. I'll tell them myself that I wanted him dead, I'll also reveal you to the group." I said to Light, who was now in my body.
----------------------------------------------------

I walk into the apartment and as I did, all eyes were now on me. Darren, Rex, Arryn, Tulip And even Shadow.

"Listen up. Because I don't like any of you, It doesn't bother me to tell you all I tried to kill Shadow." I said, being honest with my feelings and the truth. "Come out." I demanded as Light began exposing himself. I could see the shock in most of their eyes once Light had finished materializing.

"This right here, is Light. You know how we all have Powers and abilities right? Well, The test that Giovanni conducted on me made not only made me stronger, but it seems a side effect of it was making my electricity have a conscious of its own." I explained to the group.

"Speaking of Giovanni..." I mentioned, now looking at Arryn. "He's moved to Johto. I don't know his reasoning, but He's there. How do I know?" I asked myself assuming they wanted to know as well. I look back at light. "Light has took the time to infiltrate the Silph.co Networking systems. Upon doing so, he's accessed Giovanni's location transitioning data. Light's basically like a Rotom, able to travel through any electrical devices. Once Light entered my body, I was able to take in all the information that was gathered." I explained to the group.

"As for WHY Light did what it did, I don't really know... He has his own conscious, So I assumed he did it for his own motives. I respect that." I said, with a smile.

"Also..." I marked, glancing at Arryn and Shadow. "Light was able to access video footage of what happened... So I saw everything."

"Arryn, You're strong... But you're also weak. Don't do anything so stupid EVER again. Unless you want me doing something stupid too." I demanded diverting my glance to Shadow. "As for Shadow... I guess I do owe you some sort of gratitude for being able to protect Arryn and saving her from what was an imminent death."

I sigh and sit down on the floor, legs crossed. Light looked at me with its blood red eyes before looking back at everyone else.

"Tulip's little vision was right. We need to go to Johto if we want Giovanni. But getting there will be no easy task... Any suggestions?" I asked the group.
