OOC: Miss? She? Girl? < <;; Take another look at my sign-up dude. Sorry about my short posts, I've got slight writers block.

IC: I turned around and sweatdropped. Did I really look that much like a girl? Dirge was growling at the trainer, as though saying, 'nobody insults Zaire like that but me!'. Or, he was just growling at the pokeball's attached to the guy's belt.

"Um, I'm not a miss, and I'm looking for the Professor as well." I said, "Are there any oddly colored buildings, or white buildings? I'm sure those are one's that would be most likely the Professor's." Hating myself for not being able to see colors, I pushed down on Dirge's butt, making him sit, and glare at me. He wasn't one to do human tricks. I looked around again, to see nothing but houses that seemed to be the exact same color...to me at least. It was really confusing, because I felt like I was looking at two sides of a mirror...whatever that meant.

"Why don't we both look for the Professor? I don't have 100% vision, so I'm kind of lost. I'm Zaire." I said, holding out a hand for the unknown guy to shake.

Nakaba ran back to the forrest "I have to take caterpie to a proffesor to heal it" He thought. when he finaly reached charizard he saw the that he was going to need help and whistled a minute later hitmonchan appeared. "Perfect now guilotine!" He commanded. The attack pulled through knocking out poliwrath "I have to go see proffesor elm" He Said before returning hitmonchan. Nakaba picked up caterpie and hopped on charizard and told him to fly to newbark.it took only 15 minutes for him to get to elm "Can you heal this caterpie" He asked. As elm was healing caterpie He asked Nakaba "Mind doing me a favor and going to meet prof. Hayoto tell him prof. elm sent you I forgot remeber he's in neon town?" "usualy I'd say no but I owe you so yes." Nakaba replyed.
 
Rachel and Ruby lands in Neon Town, not far from where Zaire and Derik are. Haven't been here in awhile, Rachel thinks to herself, and nods to Ruby, who has transformed into her human form.

"So, I understand we're looking for a Professor Hayato?" Ruby asks.

Rachel nods, and the two start to look around.
 
Sorry bell got caught up doing something while i was makeing my post.

Oc: Derik blushed as he looked at Zaire, "I am so sorry." he apollogized, shakeing Zaires hand, "I'm Derik, and i would be glad to look for prof. kayato with you." he turned his head one way then the other. then he looked down the street in front of him. "well all these building seem to be the same. but i think there is one thats diffrent down that street." he said pointing in front of him. he started down the street, then stoped and looked at Zaire, "that mightyena of yours is very protective, thats a good thing." he said and headed down the street turning his head slightly to see if Zaire was following him.
 
I looked at Dirge who now donned an extremely offended expression, and I laughed, "Not really. He's probably just growling at the pokeballs on your belt. He doesn't like pokeballs, which is why he's out of his." Zaire followed after Derik, and felt like the building he'd pointed out wasn't any different then the others. Maybe it was an illusion that the black and white caused. If it were dark out, then he would've been able to notice the difference immediately.

Dirge followed, still rather miffled from being called protective of a trainer he despised. I felt Blare snapping his fangs at the edge of his pokeball, thrashing around in annoyance, knowing that if he left his pokeball to pick a fight with Dirge, Dirge would make fun of him and bark that Blare had just trampled on one of his "beloved" trainer's orders- to stay in his pokeball when Dirge was out, unless I released Blare myself.

Blare, calmed down after awhile of Dirge fully ignoring him, but stayed sulking in the pokeball, annoyed with Dirge, as usual.
 

Name: Maya Nelson
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Description: Maya is of average height for her age, standing at around 5'6". She has very short, black hair that is cut off around her neck. Her eyes are a very pale amber, which gives her a slightly spooky appearance. Her skin is an olive-ish hue. Maya travels in a black tube top, which covers the upper half of her torso, and has a light grey jacket over the top. She wears denim shorts and white sneakers so she can easily bike from place to place. Maya also possesses one of the newer versions of Pokénav, which is head-mounted.
Home Town: Fortree City, Hoenn
Personality: Maya is generally very happy and accepting, and likes to look at the bright side of life. She has a deep loyalty to her friends, and losing them is what she fears most, aside from spinarak.
Pokémon: Octillery, Pidgeot, Magcargo, Plusle, Ursaring, Girafarig
Legendary: Articuno; Bird of Ice
History: Maya grew up in the quiet town of Fortree from birth. From a young age, she showed signs of dislexia, a learning disorder that made it difficult for her to read, write and spell. Because of this, she was often shunned by many of her classmates, but still remained optimistic. Despite her disorder, when asked questions orally she was very intelligent. At eleven, she asked to be allowed to begin her journey, as school did her little good anyway. Her request was granted, and so it began.
As she grew older, a mark on the palm of her hand, which she had always put down to a birthmark, became more prominent. It looked almost like a burn, but glowed silver, and only tingled a little when she touched it. She told no-one, but when she recieved her first pokémon, Professor Birch noticed and told her what he knew of the legend.
Knowledge: Maya knows very little about the legend, due to her inability to glean information from books. However, she knows that she has been chosen to assist Articuno, the legendary bird of ice.
Roleplay sample:​
Maya sighed as she strode through the many rows of books in the Rustboro library. She knew it was useless, but the mark on her hand was beginning to ache more regularly, and she had decided to try and learn a little about this legend. She had found few books on the topic of Articuno, and the ones she had either had too small-a font for her to read, or were just fictional books about the bird of ice. A sense of hopelessness overcame her as she slumped down in a chair, looking at the glowing, silver mark. She ran her fingers through her hair, wondering what she was supposed to do. She closed her eyes, and could almost hear the cry of Articuno in her ears. Opening her eyes again, she realised it was her pokénav. Rushing outside to take the call, she pressed a button and a screen slid across her eyes, displaying the face of Professor Birch. His tone sounded urgent, and as he spoke, Maya's eyes widened. "WHAT? Are you sure?... To Kanto?... But that's miles away!... Yeah, I guess so. But.... Oh, okay. I'll be there right away. Thanks."
Maya pressed the button again the the screen retracted into the main body of the pokénav, which was mounted on her left ear, and left only a small part in front of her left eye. There was a small microphone coming from the pokénav which allowed her to talk hands-free. The font was also extra large to help her read it.
Grabbing her bike from the rack, Maya leapt on. Excitement began to build in her chest as she pedalled towards a wide open space. Releasing her pidgeot from its pokéball with a flourish, she leapt on its back and gave it orders. "To Slateport City, Pidgeot! We've got an urgent situation on our hands!"
Maya's travel plan was simple. Well, slightly less-than-simple. First to Slateport City, where she could travel on the SS Tidal to Olivine City. From there, she could take the SS Anne to Vermillion City, and from there bike to Saffron, then to Neon Town.
No problemo.

((Skip to Neon Town because I'm lazy ...))

Maya dismounted from her bike as she arrived within the city's boundaries. She shook her hair and ran her hand through it again - it had developed into a nervous habit. Clicking a button on her pokénav, the screen extended across her eyes and she searched Neon Town for the laboratory. The equipment gave her instructions, as well as arrows on the map, and she quickly found her way to the front door of the laboratory, which was very large, very round, and very white. She smiled and approached the door. "I'm ready now," she whispered to herself.

IC: Kyle sent out his Alakazam again, "Sorry Alakazam, but I need you to teleport us to Neon Town, Okay?"
"Kazam!" Alakazam replied as they both vanished into thin air.
Shortyly after they arrived at Neon Town Kyle noticed two people and a mightyena, "Hey are either of you two looking for Professor Hayato? If you are could I tag along with you guys, because I'm looking for him as well, oh silly me I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Kyle Redwing and this is my Alakazam..."

OC: sorry i'm not writing as much, but i'm a little sleepy right now...
 
Derik went to turn and sa something to Zaire, when all of a sudden a man poped out of thin air right in front of them. Startled Derik jumped back, "wow, you almost gave me a heart attack." he said to the man. after a minute or two of explanation Derik said, 'sure you can join us."
he turned to Zaire, "i think were going the wrong way. know that i have looked at the building closer its exactly the same as the others." Derik turned his head in every dirrection."hey there is what looks like a town square just down that street." he say to them both. "it might have a map or a bullien board." he says starting to head down that way.
 
OOC: I'm putting my opinions on that post in Zaire's words. < <;;

Zaire blinked at the newcomer and said, "That was...spontaneous. I haven't the slightest idea how you could've simply guessed we were looking for Professor Hayato, but I don't particularly mind if you come along with us."

Dirge looked just about ready to murder somebody, for all the backtracking and turning around and confusion. It ripped out Professor Hayato's letter from my pocket and gave it a good sniff, running off towards wherever it smelled the scent strongest. Picking up the letter with great speed, Zaire ran after his rebellious Mightyena, and called behind him, "Dirge probably found it!"

But Dirge wouldn't wait for anybody, and screeched to a stop in front of a building that looked just the same as the others. Staring at it intently as though just by looking at the building, it would burn a hole through it, Zaire looked up and sweatdropped. It really did look just like the other buildings. How in the world were we supposed to recognize it out of every other building? Then, I noticed, on the mailbox, in miniscule print, 'Professor Hayato' in all caps. I could barely see it, as it was merely indented into the metal, instead of painted or embossed on, but I could recognize the letters.

"Foooound it!" Zaire said waving to the other two.
 
"Okay, well what are we waiting for," Kyle said to the two others,"Oh, I guess you could call it a very lucky guess that I knew that you were looking for the Professor, because since you were in Neon Town I thought, well that you might be looking for the Professor as well. I sorry, I don't think I caught your names..." Kyle returned Alakazam to his pokeball and back on his belt, "and sorry for the scare, that happens to a lot of people when I do that, but Alakazam's the fastest way to get from New Bark to here..."
 
Derik dumbfounded that he had no thought to use Dirge's powerful smell. running after Zaire, he yells to Kyle "come on no time for chit chat know." he stop a short distance away and looked at Zaire. "how the heck were we suposed to find this?" he asked while touching the dented letters of the mail box. "I wonder if he's in side right know?" Derik asked generaly while heading towards the door.

Maya looked at the small group of people who had arrived. They all seemed to know each other, so she kept quiet, unsure of what to do or say. She lifted her hand and rapped sharply on the door three times, listening to the satisfying echo that came from the dark and beautiful wood. Her pokénav clicked, and the screen fully retracted, followed the the microphone, which disappeared to a degree that only the samll, black reciever could be seen at the front of the device.
Maya smiled and leant against the wall, a mix of emotions fluttering in her stomach.
 
I kept walking down the empty road, I was pretty bored, I mean Really bored.
I sighed as I hit a sign, ' Ten mile's to neon town', I was tired after had walked up to here from over one hundred miles away. But I kept my cool and about an hour and a half later I hit another sign. ' Welcome to Neon Town!' I was releived to have finnaly gotten here, it was all over! I walked in and straight through to some people who knew each other.
 
After Kitt had hung up Professor Elm sent the directions to Professor Hayato's lab to Kitt's Poke Gear. Several hours of travelling later, Kitt and Flare reached Neon Town. Kitt had to stop by the Pokemon Center for another half hour to get her Pokemon healed up. Once they were all fit and healthy again, she and Flare made their way down the quiet streets of Neon Town. When they finally reached the professor's lab they noticed a group of trainers standing out the front of the door.

'Well, what do you know? We've been beat here.' Kitt said to Flare. Flare gently growled, then noticed the Mightyena, who growled back ferociously. Flare knew better than to pick a fight unless Kitt said so, so Flare just shrugged, and lay down like an obedient dog while they waited for the professor.

Kitt was about to introduce herself, before the door opened, and a tall man, with light brown hair that stuck up a bit, and a lab coat stepped out. 'Ah, I see that some of you have already arrived. I am Professor Hayato.' The professor invited all the trainers inside, and sat them all down on couches in a lounge. 'Now, you may or may not know why you are here. Professor Elm has reassured me that he has sent me the best trainers he could find.'
 
Maya looked around before taking her seat. Flattered that she had been named as one of 'the best trainers Professor Elm could find', she simply smiled and kept quiet, happy to listen to whatever it was that the professor had to say. Aside from that, she felt a little awkward about meeting these people. Once, if, they found out about her dislexia, would they decide she was dumb, and count her as an outcast? This was something that she had to think about whenever she met someone new. She could only hope that she could find a friend somewhere along the line.
 
'Over the last 20 years I have been studying up on the legendary Pokemon. There is a legend that says there are nine orbs that contain them, and prevent them from wreaking havoc.'

Flare growled in confusion, as well as Kitt. 'What does this have to do with us? You want us to help with your research or something?'

'No.' Professor Hayato said in a strict tone. 'The orbs are all on a large, solitary island. I have been over there myself, and have seen three of the orbs with my own eyes. There have been strange people in lab coats wandering around the island. I fear they may want the orbs.'

'They could just be trainers, searching for Pokemon.' Kitt suggested.

'Maybe, but they all have the same battling style. They battle brutally, as if they have to win at all costs. Even if the opponent Pokemon is too exhausted to fight they continue to battle it until...' The professor turned away, clenching his fist. Then he turned back to the trainers and said 'I know an evil trainer when I see one, and I have seen several on that island.' The professor was silent, as were the trainers. 'I want you to protect the orbs. If those orbs are removed from their places by anyone, the legendary Pokemon will awaken and wreak havoc. You must go to the island and meet my brother, Marcus. He knows alot more than I do, and he will tell you everything you need to know. We can't take any chances.'
 
Maya nodded solemnly, still silent. She knew that this was a serious matter, and the mark on her hand was burning - strange, since had never really given her any trouble before. Excitement was replaced by fear and an almost choking nervousness. Her hand sub-consciously hovered over her pidgeot's pokéball, and she began to mentally prepare herself for the journey that was ahead. It would take guts, bravery and a quick mind, and Maya wasn't sure that she possessed any of these.
 
Derik sat there, to himself thinking over what the professor had just told them. he turned and looked at Zaire, wondering what was going through his mind. he had come to think of Zaire as a friend or at least an aquantences. after a few seconds he stood up, "Well how are we getting to the Isalnd were your brother is?" he asked. he then walked over to the wall on his right and leaned against it, still more questions came to his mind. he looked around the room at the diffrent trainers, did he have the streangth to go along and help them. As he thought he falshed back to when his father had died, "Derik i know you will be strong. you have great skills, abd abilitys. Never let any one doubt you, and never doubt yourself." Deriks father said laying there, "but father how am i going to get through without you?" derik asked
"Trust me you will...." those were the last breaths his father took.
comeing back from his memory he had more ocnfidence, he could and would help the proffessor.
 
I listened in silence, and sighed when Dirge snorted pitifully at Professor Hayato.

"I'm sorry about that." Zaire muttered, tapping Dirge on the nose to shut him up, "So, basically, we're supposed to protect the orbs?" Dirge snorted again, and Zaire threateningly put a hand on the empty pokeball attatched to his belt.

"Rrr." Dirge settled himself on the ground with a disgruntled expression on, his head laying on Zaire's foot. He felt like this man should just do it himself, instead of getting other people to do his dirty work. That was the way things worked in a good pack, where pokemon got what they needed to survive, and shared whatever extra they had. But this man...was asking him to protect a ball from other humans? Well that was a bit MUCH without any kind of reward.

Zaire noticed Dirge's annoyance, but simply ignored it. Dirge would just have to live with it.

"So once we get to the island. What're we supposed to do? Camp out in front of the orbs and ward off any people that get near?" Zaire asked, "As Derik said, how're we going to get there? By our own pokemon? If so, then, we'd need a map right? And why are these people looking for these orbs? Why not just take 'em? If you've found them, surely they have too?"

So many questions, so few answers. And no less, Zaire's...problem, might get in the way, when trying to find the orb, or battling others. It always did, and it would never go away, so why pick a handicapped trainer?
