Arryn​
It might be unreasonable, but she's disgusted that Gray considers someone that put him through so much turmoil and despicable treatments to be his father.

"I still take his advice, as it's proven to work and be useful... But once I met you..."

Arryn forces a smile and resumes packing the duffel quietly.

"Hey Arryn... Can we go find a wheel chair..." Tulip comes out of the bedroom, her eye slightly bruised. "I also... need to talk to you."

"Uh sure... when you tell me what the hell happened to you?" I was only gone for an hour! Leaving the bag on the table, Arryn stands and tugs Tulip up from the couch and into the kitchen for some privacy between the two, concerned. "What happened? What do you want to talk about?"

 

She looked down the back up at Arryn.

"Well... alot happened... So well,.. I was looking for Darren... and this guy hit me with a metal bat and cut my hair and kicked me in the face... Darren and Shadow came to rescue me... That's not even the interesting part. So Darren said he loves me and says he wants to date me and I mean I like him but he had to kiss this girl who he loved. But I think Shadows really cute and nice and caring... and I don't know who to pick... but I haven't talked to Shadow about it but I think her likes me... I mean who wouldn't?" She flipped her hair but then went back to frowning a little.

"Can we go find that wheel chair and you can help me decide which guy I should choose... because i like them both in my heart... I guess if it doesn't work I can always date the other one... still help me. " She sighed.
 

Arryn​
Once Tulip finishes, Arryn sighs, "Tulip, it's not up to me to help you choose. It's your choice and... to be quite honest, I think you should get to know them both more before deciding." Things are going so fast lately and really, the girl just needs to sit down and think it through before rushing into anything.

"We're going to Johto tomorrow at 12.00, so... If things go well on the train, the trip will be uninteresting enough to really think about it."

Arryn whistles for her Absol whom trudges into the kitchen, annoyed at the sudden awakening.

"We're going to look for a wheel chair at..." she frowns, "who even sells wheelchairs in this city?" Not like I'd be able to pay for one, anyway with 300pd. We might just have to steal one.

 
Shadow:

Dream:
Darkness.... that is all there was... He could hear screams coming from every where. He walked toward the sounds. After what felt like ten hours of walking, he arrived as he looked on as a shadow figure with the same aura as he had when pure power was active, but it was much more evil looking. Not only that, the figure was destroying everything around it. Human, Pokemon, hybrids.... it didn't matter the power destroyed everything.

Shadow watched in horror as he saw the evil figure looking down on the man who had attacked Tulip and Eevee with the metal bat in his hand. But... unlike him, the shadow figure brought down the bat on the man and blood splattered everywhere. The image disappeared only to be replaced by images of the friends he had thought he had made today burned, but not by fire, it was caused by darkness.

"No.... no...."

The shadow figure turned on him and he was shocked. The shadow figure was him. He was looking at himself. Shadow's knees buckled as he made a face that signaled that he was terrified. Images of Team Rocket flooded his vision as the evil self laughed. He saw his sister crying in pain, burning because Team Rocket tried to make her fire proof. She passed, but then they forced poison on to her and he watched as she suffered more. He watched as she collapsed into his arms and died. The image disappeared and the dark self engulfed him, laughing.
__________________________________________________________________________

"No!" Shadow sprung awake.

He saw Lucario jump forward.

'Cario! Car car Cario!' Lucario was ready to fight.

Shadow was breathing hard as sweat beaded his forehead. The wind whistled the air as he caught the scent of some sweet scent from a pokemon somewhere in the park. He looked around, most of the park was empty. There was one or two people still in the park walking around, but they didn't seem to notice his outburst. He looked up in the sky and noticed it had started to get later.

"Relax Lucario. It was just a dream. Sorry to frighten you." Shadow said as he fell back to the ground up against the tree on purpose.

Lucario nodded and sat beside him. The wind picked up and suddenly a small cry from above rang out. Shadow look up and what looked like an acorn falling, turned out to be a seedot. Shadow knew he wouldn't move in time. Not just waking up.

"Well... this is gonna hurt." Shadow said as the seedot crashed into his face.

Shadow yelled in pain and frightened Lucario again who jumped up hitting his head on a lower branch and fell back down on the ground. Shadow started laughing at his Lucario, even though it hurt.

'Lucarion Cario Cario!' Lucario said in anger.

"I didn't do it on purpose! I just got hit in the freaking face by a Seedot!" Shadow yelled, with some laughter still in his voice.

Lucario crossed its arms and went back to closing its eyes. Shadow looked down the Seedot as it blinked its eyes.

'Seedot?' The Seedot turned its head slightly.

"Hello there little guys. Where is the rest of your family?"

'Seedot...' The Seedot looked down.

"Oh, you are alone then?" Shadow asked.

'Dot.' The Seedot sounded like it was saying yes.

Shadow thought about catching the little acorn pokemon, but he hadn't made a profile for PC depositing yet. Shadow picked up the little acorn pokemon and put him off to the side. He gently put a hand on the little acorn pokemon.

"Mister!" A voice called.

'Cario...' Lucario sighed.

Shadow smiled at Lucario who was getting annoyed with interruptions. He watched as a little boy of about ten years of age ran to him.

"Hello there." Shadow said.

"Mister! Mister! Can I have a battle please!? I just started my journey and I have been wanting to have a battle! But... But everyone looks too scary! But.... but you don't! Can we have a battle!? Please!" The little be jumped up and down.

Shadow smiled, "Sure why not. What type of pokemon do you have?"

"A Pichu sir!"

"Very well, I will battle you in a 1 on 1 battle and I will use my Noibat."

"A Noibat!? Wow! You must travel a lot to have a Noibat here!"

Shadow pulled out his poke ball and let Noibat out. The battle occurred for about five minutes. During the battle, the boy at made many successful attacks, but Noibat was too power full.

"Come on Pichu! You can do it!" The boy yelled, but it fell back down.

"Pichu is too weak to continue. He should rest." Shadow walked over to the pichu who was breathing hard.

"Is Pichu ok!? I am sorry Pichu! I pushed you too hard."

"Don't worry." Shadow reached for his pack, he brought out the potion that Arryn have given him that morning and sprayed Pichu. Pichu perked up. Shadow then withdrew a oran berry, "Here you go. It this oran berry. It will help you recover as well."

The Pichu accepted iand started to eating.

"Thank you sir. For the good battle." The boy said as he picked up his Pichu.

Noibat started to glow and before their eyes and evolved into a Noivern and screeched.

"Wow! Noibat evolved into a Noivern! It is so cool! I am going to catch one one day!"

Noivern smiled. It was now almost the height of Shadow.

"Head to the pokemon center and get Pichu checked out just to be safe. Then head home, I guess it might be getting dark soon."

"Yes sir!" The boy smiled as he ran off.

Shadow returned his pokemon to the poke ball and noticed the Seedot was still there. Acting like he wanted to return to a poke ball.

"I'm sorry little guy. I don't have room." Shadow said.

'Seedot...' The little Seedot looked like it was about to cry.

Shadow went over and picked up Seedot, "How about you come with me for now. Maybe I can find you a trainer or I can set up a PC account at the Pokemon Center. What do you say?"

'Seedot!!'

Shadow carried the Seedot off toward the pokemon center.

"Why should I get to know them better? I know them both fine... How about we go get a wheelchair for me and then we start packing... We should pack for the guys too!"

She walks outside and smiles feeling the little bit of moonlight hit my face.

"I like being outside... I just wish it wasnt so dirty..." she sighed.
 

Arryn​
"Why?" Arryn echoes, incredulous and follows Tulip outside. "You met Shadow yesterday and Darren only three days ago... Aren't things moving a little fast?"

Honestly, it took me four months to even kiss one guy... Then again, she and Tulip are polar opposites.

"Besides, getting to know them better might help you decide."

Arryn leads the way up the block with no target in mind. What kind of shop sells wheelchairs anyway? Guess we could get one from the hospital... "You seem to be walking fine, are you sure you need a wheelchair?" It put an awful feeling in her stomach to even think about stealing from a hospital.

 

"Ugh... But what am I supposed to do in the mean time? Plus... Darren asked me out already... I feel like its wrong to make either of them wait. I mean who would want to wait to get all of this." she slapped her own ass and yelped a little.

"Yes, I do need a wheel chair. I can defend myself better and it will help speed up my recovery process." She sighed.

"Look. We can borrow one from the hospital. Or take one... Or buy one. Look when they see me they will give me one. Im great at hiding my powers." She smiles hobbling along.

"Who do you think is hotter... Darren or Shadow...? Oh! Who do you think is hotter... Gray or Shadow?" She asked just like a little girl.
 
Shadow: (Hybrid)

Shadow sneezed as he entered the Pokemon Center.

Oh grand. Someone is talking about me then. He thought as he walked over to one of the PC's that.

He waited for one to open and then used it to set up his account to store pokemon. He deposited Vibrava and Doublade. He would get them back later, but he didn't want to have a full team right now. And he didn't want to train with Doublade if he didn't want to count on hsi swords so much. Besides he mainly wanted to catch pokemon that were like ninjas.

I could put Noivern in, but for some reason, I get a feeling that Gray may try to convince the group to go without me. He still doesn't like me and I am pretty sure Darren doesn't like me at the moment either. It was good that Noibat evolved when he did. It will be slightly slower than the magnet train, but it will do in case I am left behind. Noivern is the fastest dragon pokemon after all. But, even if two don't won't me there I don't plan on leaving them for long.

Shadow logs out of the PC. He looks outside. It had gotten dark quickly.

Was I really walking that slow... How long was I asleep for.... at least until I woke up. I wish that dream would go away. That isn't the first time I have had one like that..... And every time... it becomes more realistic. He thought back to his dream and shuddered. The primary reason he fought Pure Power back so much, was because he was afraid that one day he would lose control.

He turned to the Seedot one was standing on the ground behind him. The little Acorn pokemon stood there. Looking at Shadow. not moving.

"You know... I have never seen a pokemon who wanted to be caught so bad." He looked down at the Seedot.

'Seedot. Dot dot. Seedot.' The Seedot acted like it knew everything.

"You aren't gonna give up are you?"

'Dot dot.'

"Ok, fine. You can come with me then." Shadow said.

'DOT!' The pokemon jumped up and down.

Shadow smiled and used a pokeball on the Seedot and it sucked the pokemon in. In moved two times and clicked. He put the pokeball at his waste.

"Now what to do... I slept too long today so probably not going to sleep very much tonight. I guess I could get something to eat... I do will like a Tauros Burger and some fries." He said as he walked out of the Poke Center and down the road to a food place.

Darren

Darren watched Houndoom clean it's paws as he thought. What am I doing? Ever since Claire I've managed to block out any feelings I've had towards girls I've met. Yet for some reason when I'm around Tulip I can't block those feelings. Darren looked over as Gray explained how the hybrids were created. Does it matter how we came to be what we are? It's not like we can change it. All that matters is that we can't live in this world without being hunted. Darren looked back at Houndoom, But at least some creatures are loyal and won't try killing you.

Darren heard the bedroom door open and he looked up as Tulip came out and walked to Gray and Arryn. How long have I been sitting here? Darren watched Tulip and Arryn leave, Tulip said something about wanting a wheelchair and needing to talk to Arryn. Houndoom poked at Darren's pocket. "I know Houndoom, I forgot." Darren reach into his pocket and felt the flower. I wonder if I should still give this to her. I don't know, at this point it'd probably just be weird. Especially if she says no... Darren let go of the flower then stood up and walked over to Gray. "So what's the plan when we get to Johto? Are we just going to hide out there until we need to run again?"

Gray

I listened to the conversations that Arryn and and Tulip were having. The name Shadow being mentioned over and over has begone to irritate me.

"Obviousy Arryn thinks I'm hotter... Now, Enough talk about Shadow." I demanded with irritation.

"So what's the plan when we get to Johto? Or are we just going to hide out there until we need to run again?"

"What I think we should focus on is what place we'll look for in Johto. We gotta hope we get lucky and find some apartment. Furthermore, when we run out of supplies, Rex and I will have to fetch out more. So We'll need to have the location of the Pokemarts known. So we'll have to scout Goldenrod city, and know the place by heart."

I fold my arms and close my eyes.

"We need to track down Giovanni too. I don't think he'll be easy to find. He is the team rocket leader after all..."
 
Darren

"Well, we don't necessarily need an apartment. We could always camp out somewhere like Ilex Forest or something." Darren leaned against the counter and look out a window. "Wouldn't be that bad actually. The chances of being found there are low. In the event we need to run or hide, the plants will provide plenty of cover. Plus there should be plenty of things there to eat and build a shelter with." Darren looked at Gray. "Although this group doesn't strike me as the type that likes living outside." Darren glanced over as Houndoom jumped onto the couch and fell asleep. "Either way, we need a secure place. Tulip was attacked right outside this building. We can't live somewhere that people can easily find, especially WHEN they figure out that we're hybrids".

"Shut up Gray. Arryn wouldn't even kiss you." She said annoyed.

She smiled at Darren and then looked at Arryn.

"Um... Im not feeling great... Can you go get it... Gray will go with you." She said looking at Gray.

"He'd love too." She said smiling and hugging Arryn. She then hobbled to the couch.

"Darren... will you come sit by me? I'm cold..." She said kind of pouting. She patted a cushion on the couch signaling for Darren to come cuddle with her.
 

Arryn​
Arryn ignores the 'whose hotter?' question and listens to Darren's suggestion on camping out in Ilex Forest. It's definitely a reasonable and safe place until they find somewhere more permanent.

"Ilex Forest is a good idea…" Although she preferred a bed, she had slept on the grass more times than she could count.

Tulip insists on the wheelchair and hobbles back inside. When did I become the errand girl?

Whether Gray follows or not, Arryn departs from the group towards the hospital. I'm stealing a damn wheelchair from a hospital for her. She owes me.

As Gray said, once they arrive in Johto they'll have to learn the layout of Goldenrod before they search for a place to stay in the City. Since there's six of them, two people going at a time would be the best bet…

 
Gray

"Shut up Gray. Arryn wouldn't even kiss you."

I winced at that statement. "Tch."

"Um... Im not feeling great... Can you go get it... Gray will go with you. He'd love too."

Tired of her insolence, I begin to retort, ready to start conflict with her.

"Oh? So you think you control me now, Don't you, Tulip. I'd like to see you force me to do something while you have a broken b-"

"Ilex Forest is a good idea…"

Cut off by my sentence, I watched Arryn proceed to leave.

Should I go, Or should I stay...? Maybe I should, I doubt she'll be able to steal anything on her own.

"Hmph..." I grouchily mumbled as I began following Arryn. "It might be time for Arrn and I to make some memories of our own." I stated, referring back to mine and Rex's raid.
 

Arryn​
Arryn glances behind her and sees Gray following at a distance.

I guess you can say he's been like a father to me.

She faces forward, ignoring him. His words are permanently embedded in her thoughts, refusing to leave and give her some peace of mind. I can at least pretend that nothing is wrong...

Slowing her pace, Arryn waits for Gray to catch up.

"Of all the useless crap I've stolen in the past, I've never even considered stealing from a hospital." She had some morals underneath the whole 'survival of the fittest'.

Yet, if Tulip's really does have a spinal injury, it would be best that she didn't move at all. She comes before strangers, that's for sure.

 
Darren

Darren stared at the ground, thinking Why does Gray want to go after Giovanni anyway? Darren looked up as Tulip an Arryn returned. Tulip smiled at Darren and he returned the smile then stared back at the ground in thought.Maybe Gray is leading us into a trap? It would make sense, considering he worked for Giovanni and considered him a father... Darren rubbed his chin and shifted his feet. If it is a trap, Houndoom and I could just disappear when we get to Johto.

Houndoom woke up as Tulip patted a cushion, then growled and her and jumped off the couch. Houndoom walked over to the wall and laid down, closing it's eyes but listening to everyone.Although I can't just leave Tulip, not with her current state. "Darren... will you come sit by me? I'm cold...", Tulip asked looking back at Darren. "Hm?" Darren quickly looked up, forgetting other people were in the room. "Uh, sure". Darren walked over to the couch and sat down next to Tulip. And let the mind games continue... "Ya know, requesting that I come over here because you're cold is an abuse of my fire abilities", Darren jokingly said, letting his hands ignite for a few seconds then putting out the flame.
 

She smiled as Gray left behind Arryn.

"The rest is up to you honey." She said then noticing Darren was coming. When he sat down she cuddled up against him.

"Its not my fault... Arryns cold... and you're warm... but im still a grass type. Put those away. But thank you." She said pecking his cheek.

"So should we all start packing once Arryn and Gray get home?" She asked softly. She looked over at the bags and thought what would go in where.

"Oh... and If I could use a phone before we get there to call my parents that would be great." She said noticing that she was a little high maintenance.

"Im sure its fine if we all stay there... its big enough." she says remembering home.

"This is the worst my lifes ever been..but its not even that bad because im with all of you." she said smiling at the left over people in the room.

There had been a commotion at SlyphCo and despite whatever positions of power, whatever gods, news had reached Vesa - there were other hybrids in the city. His usual distant apathy had fallen away for a moment with the thought. A strange longing had taken its place. Maybe he didn't have to alone...

It was replaced quickly enough and he snorted. These morons are gonna get themselves killed.

It had only taken him a few days to track them down - he was almost surprised that Team Rocket hadn't found them first - but he kept his distance, blending into the crowds but keeping one ear bent when he could, having Freya scout when he couldn't. He'd learned enough that way to decide an introduction was in order.

He leaned against the alley wall, half hidden in shadows, as he watched Arryn and Gray pass. He nodded to Sköll and the large Arcanine was off, charging the hybrids. Hatí growled lowly at Vesa's side and he silenced the Mightyena with a gentle hand on its head.

"Not yet," he murmured.
 

Tulip got up from the couch to grab a bottle of water when it her.

Someone... Sorta neautral... Shed seen him before... He was everywhere... He was... he was a bad guy...? She needed to get a closer look.

"I uh... forgot to tell Arryn something. Ill be back!" she said going outside and quickly down the stairs. She limp ran until she got a little behind the figure.

"H-hey! what are you doing?" She asked. She was close enough to where she didn't have to yell but far enough it couldn't pull a dagger and stab her.

She noticed the Pokemon next to him and quickly sent out her Togekiss. Who stayed at her side.

"So... who are you...? Come into the light! Let me see who you are..." she said softly not demanding too much while her back was in so much pain.
 
Darren

"All I've got are my clothes and my sword. So I have nothing to pack". Darren said to Tulip. Do any of us have anything to pack? Darren sat and listened as Tulip spoke. So she actually has a family. I figured she wasn't from around here... "This is the worst my lifes ever been.." Tulip said, looking at everyone in the room. Seriously, this is the worst thing to happen to you? "So ho-" Tulip got up, grabbed a bottle of water, then left after saying something about telling Arryn something. Darren looked down at Houndoom, "Ok then. Guess I'll talk to her later". Darren slid his katana off his back and laid down on the couch. I'm surprised she could move that fast after getting attacked earlier. Darren sat straight up, "Houndoom, let's go". Darren pulled out his katana, threw the sheath on the couch, then ran to the door followed by Houndoom.
