In The Shadows (Invetational)

Not open for further replies.
Terra nearly stopped breathing for a moment.
"T-This?"
She asked pointing to the gem.
"It always glows..."
Terra then said.
Then she turned to the girl.
"I-I see."
She stammered.
"M-May I ask for your name?"
Terra added.
 
My...name?"

He asked, hesitating for a moment. He had told the others 'Calen', but this girl seemed trustworthy enough. Talon would probably hate himself later for this, but he decided to just let it out.

"My name...is Talon Neveu. And yours?"

He asked, ignoring the painful nudge that Anko had given him and gazing at Terra. The Sneasel was very surprised that the trainer had actually revealed his name...few people kew that. Among them his Pokemon and his parents. Anko knew of no one else that had eve learned his true identity.
 
"I'm Terra......Terra Helgrind."
Terra said hesitating before saying her last name.
She flinched as she was bitin by Star.
"Cut it out Star."
She muttered through clenched teeth.
{Y-You said your last name to this guy you've just met!}
Star exclaimed biting down harder.
Terra lifted up her arm and shook Star off of it.
 
"Don't worry about it; Anko here gave me a hard time about it too."

He said, reaching his hand forward and quickly grabbing Anko's wrist before she could sink her claws into his flesh. It seems both Pokemon were worried about their trainers revealing their names.

Anko sneered and returned her arm to her side, flexing her hand and glancing at her claw as it shimmered in the moonlight. She was still a little agitated with Talon, but it was done with and nothing could be changed so she decided to let it go.

"Well, what do you make of all of this?"
 
Terra hesitated for a moment, then sighed.
"You want the truth bout this all?"
She asked knowing that he probably did.
Star was growling by now.
Terra hit her on the head and she stopped.
Then, Terra looked Talon right in the eye waiting for his response.
 
"Umm, I guess so...That isn't a problem, is it?"

He asked, gazing curiously at the Espeon beside Terra and assuming by her look that it pretty much was. He shrugged and kicked Anko before she could sink her claws into him again.

"It's fine. Your Pokemon doesn't seem too keen on the idea of telling me, so it's fokay if you just keep it to yourself."

He smiled weakly and glancing sideways, still freaked out by the Blaziken that had been reading the book. It still seemed like a strange concept for him.
 
Terra sighed as Star bit her again.
"You get used to the pain eventually."
She said before sighing again.
"Well, this gem...has powers. There are six gems with six different powers. Mine is known as the chaos gem. It controls the shadows and darkness. The one that the girl over there has is the fire gem."
Terra explained.
 
"Gems, huh? I see..."

He said, toughts drifting into his head. So that explains why they had been glowing and stuff. Though the idea seemed preposterous, he had nothing else to go on so he decided to believe the story for now.

"Hold on..."

He said, a question popping in his head that he just had to have answered.

"You said there are six gems. There's only two here. If it's true, then where are the other four?"

He asked, ignoring the glare that Anko had given him and keeping his eyes trained on Star and Terra.
 
"Well...I'm not exactly sure where the other four are. They all are supposed to have a keeper and it only appears to that person. There is also this thing called a focuser. It brings all six gems together to like make them one and bring this world back from the shadows."
Terra explained to him.
{Why are you telling him all this stuff!?}
Star exclaimed.
 
"A Keeper? So there are a total of six keepers...Whoa, that means you're one of them!"

He exclaimed, staring incredously at the chaos gem. Out of the millions of people in the world, it seemed strange that on this one night he just happened to run into two keepers of gem that he had never even heard of before. The chances musthave been one in a billion.

"What exactly can these gems do? Oh, and sorry for all the questions, this all is just a little confusing for me..."

He said softly, barely audible over all the noise of the thunderstorm. He ignored Anko once again and continued to watch Terra.
 
Toby growled at Star he did'nt trust her so much not now
"Scortch we should be on our way we have to go pick up Magie and bring her home" Ari said calmly as she could at that point "Fine" was all Scortch said
before taking a notepad and a pencil out of his backpack and closing his book
he looked again at the sky "it wont stop soon" he said before jotting somthing down on his pad and walking of with Ari.
 
I had a knack for listening on on conversations. I gave a little smirk and spun around, and started walking towards "Calen". "Hey, Calen, and Terra, what's up?" I smirked again and held back laughter. "Nevermind, I overheard. Couldn't help it. Sorry," I chuckled. I also had a knack for butting into conversations. I was so mature. "So," I said, changing the subject. "Do we know who owns each gem? How long have you had yours? What about that girl over there?" I said, hoping that "Calen" wouldn't kill me for finding out his real name. THen again, it was him who lied in the first place....
 
Talon rolled his eyes, mentally sighing as is keen hearing told him that Jen was approaching from behind him. And, from the way that she was speaking, she had overheard his name.

"Look, if you tell ANYONE that..."

He said, motioning to a pouch that hung near his pocket that was stuffed with small, kunai knives. He clenched his teeth and shrugged, slicking his wet hair back and closing his eyes.

"Why did you come over here, anyway?"
 
"Aww, going to kill me, are you? Go right ahead," I smirked.
"I came over out of curiosity, were you lying to Terra or were you lying to me?" My ribs were aching, I couldn't hold back my laughter much longer. "But the REAL reason is because I wanted to know about the Gems. I don't like being left out, ya know." I smiled. "But obviously I'm interfering. Hmph." I spun around and walked the other way, until I was far enough away I could let a few chuckles out without him hearing.
 
"Lying to you, of course. If I had told you, you probably would have told the first person you met."

He said, glancing sideways and walking her walk off. His ears twitched as he listened to her snicker, even though he was so far away. Talon reached for one of his knifes and tossed it forward with precsion aim. It passed within centimeters of Jen's left ear, taking a bunch of hairs with it.

Toren smiled and turned back, glancing at Terra and waiting for a response from her.
 
From laughter to anger, I spun around. "You don't want to mess with me. I have claws." I charged towards him like a mad dog. I had one heck of a temper. I was twenty feet away, getitng closer, closer.... BAM. I knocked him right off his feet. "You want more? I didn't really need a haircut, and now that I have it, someone's going to pay." I looked down at him and twitched. Suddenly, I ran to go get the knife, came back, and actually put it to his throat. "You say that you lied to me? What about Terra, eh? You can trust her more than me? I swear, one false move and Ill slice your ear off."
 
"Hehe, nice try."

In the blink of an eye, Talon had slipped away and climbed to his feet. He bent down, sweeping his legs across the ground and kicking Jen's legs out from under her, making her crash to the ground. He whipped out another knife from his pouch and twirled it around on his finger.

"Look, don't mess with me. If I felt like it, you'd be dead right now. I wouldn't try it again."

Talon clenched his teeth together for a moment, but then relaxed and put his knife away. He closed his eyes, returening his breathing to normal and then opening his eyes again.
 
This angered me. "You think I'm not willing to fight, eh? Not willing to break a nail, get some bruises, scratches, minor injuries? Think again." I stumbled to my feet with my elbows covered in blood. "I'm not your every day girly-girl," I breathed. I took out a pokeball from my pack. "Painted Wings," I whispered to it. "I want you to fly by Talon, just dont hurt him. I should be fighting for myself, but I want to show you off, don't I?" I tossed it into the air and Painted Wings was gliding around. He made a sharp turn and glided around Talon a few times, hitting him with his tail, as an added bonus. "P.W, enough, return," I mumbled, and once Painted Wings was safely inside his pokeball, I stuffed it back into my pack. "I get my revenge. Sweet, sweet revenge." I limped closer to him. "You don't want to see me when I'm mad, otherwise, I can be pretty sweet." Seeing as I was a bit shorter than him, I was looking up at him, or noses almost touching. With a swing of my arm I hit his nose, hopefully breaking it, and kicked him in the leg.
 
Mike was a bit surprise at what just happen. He saw a Blaziken appear from the staute. He had no idea what was happening but he guess his idea was right. MIke then said to Char, "I guess my idea was semi-right. I mean a pokemon was controling those stautes." The pokemon known as Scortch seems to be reading a book.

Char and Mike were flying in the air but were able to listen on the conversationg between Terra and Talon, Mike learned his real name from the conversation. Then Jen came and he saw that they got into a figth. At the point Mike understood that it best not to get this guy made. He also learned about the Gems and the ones held by Terra and the strange girl. Then he saw that they were figthing. "Char. Dive down."

As soon as they seem to get close to the ground, MIke jumped down and got in between them. He then said, "Hey guys. Cool it. We don't want a fight here. Last thing we want is to clean up. So how about we just cool it here." Mike was looking at Talon and Jen.
 
"SHUT UP!" I snapped at Mike, breathing heavier then I ever had. With some difficuly, I shoved the Charizard out of the way. "Come n' get me, pretty boy. Don't think I'm tough enough? Just because you're this "awesome ninja dude" Ooooh, I'm so scaaaared. Bring it." I was ready to start pouncing on him, but I was more mature than that. I just wasn't mature enough to let this opportunity go. "I know I'll regreat what's happening now, but you know, I can get out of control, and i know you'll probably hate me, but I just want to prove that not all girls are the ones who cry over breaking a nail, or who wear pretty skirts, and fancy shirts, and whine about dirt. Some girls aren't the ones you want to slice hair off of. After all, you really did start this, didn't you?"
