Rikku's eyelids opened slowly. She looked around.

"Wha-? Where am I?!" she exclaimed.

She was in some sort of cage. Her hands were tied, and she was leaning against the wall. She pushed herself up using her legs and the wall.

"Hey! Lemme out!" she yelled at the guard.

The guard turned to her. "Little Rikku..." he chuckled. "Yeah, right," he said, dangling the keys in front of her face.

Rikku bit at him. He pulled his hand back. "Fiesty, eh?" he grinned and shook his head.

Rikku snarled at him. "Lemme out now!" She kicked him in the leg, but he didn't drop his keys. He looked at her angrily and pitched the keys over onto his desk.

Rikku slumped against the wall. How did I get myself into this? she thought.
 

Mara
------------

As the two trainers entered the room, Nurse Joy left them alone to tend to some other pokemon. The room had the typical white, sterilized look that was not unlike human hospital rooms. The Espeon lay on the bed, and it appeared he was awake.

"Hello," said Mara as she and Seth approached the pokemon slowly, "Hope you're feeling better."

Growlithe stayed behind the group, watching the door in case anyone decided to pay them an unwanted visit. Totodile looked at him curiously.

Squirtle hopped up onto the bed that the Espeon lay in and gave him a smile, {Hi. My name's Squirtle, though my friends call me Squirt,} she paused for a moment, {Are you really a pokemon?}

Mara watched the Espeon too, hoping it was capable of telepathically communicating to them.
 
OOC: He's technically capable of mindspeak, he just hasn't realzied it yet. By the way, I and my brother (Smarty Arty) will be at our grandparents' summer cottage for approximately a week (Leaving tommorrow) and will consequently be left without an internet connection, meaning no roleplay >_<. Sorry for the inconvinence.

{pinkelefants...} Teioh murmured, still slightly tuckered by the anesthetic. He got up on his feet, the left hind leg still giving of the dull sting of returning senses, and moved around a bit, partially to see if there was any permanent damage and partially to shake of the last memories of his nightmare.

{Sorry about that} he muttered sheepsihly to the confused Squirtle {I'm still a bit dosy.} with no comment from the blue turtle Teioh continued {To answer your questions: Firstly, I'm Teioh and it's nice to meet you too, Squirt. Even though the circumstances could be better. As for your second question: No, I'm not a Pok?mon.} he absent-mindedly rubbed his left hind leg against his right one before adding {Or, at least I didn't use to be one...}
Teioh took a brief pause, wondering what the others' reactions would be.

OOC: Well have fun! At least you're going somewhere, my summer has been rather dull. -_-


Mara
-----------

{Oh, hello then Teioh,} Squirt said to the Espeon, {So you are a human huh? It must be weird to have once been a human and then be a pokemon.} She was taking this all very well, better than her human trainer would have taken it. Squirt was a very level-headed person, and she usually understood things better than the average pokemon.

Mara nodded to Seth, "Well he seems alright now." She looked back at the strange Espeon. Yes, it was rather odd to find a fully evolved pokemon in a Pokemon Center; it was rare to find Eevee in the wild let alone an evolved Eevee.

Could those men have had something to do with this? They were looking for Squirt, maybe they were looking for him too? No, that didn't make sense... Mara paused; why was she trying to figure all of this out like some kind of detective? That was crazy. This was probably just some Espeon that was lost, those men were probably just some tough guys looking for a pokemon to steal, and by this time tomorrow she was going to be on her way to seeing the esights that this city had to offer.

Right?

Squirt thought to herself a bit and then looked at Teioh again, {How are we going to tell them that you're a human? Charades perhaps? Though, you know what? I think that the boy, Seth, suspects that you are a human for some reason.}
 
OOC: Thanks ^_^. I don't mind getting out into the countryside, I just wish the timing would have been better, like last week for instance, when I wasn't involved in three different RPs and was wondering about what to do to pass the time. Ah well...such is life I suppose.

Teioh bit his lip, pondering about this new dilemma that Squirt had presented for him, the girl was already looking ready to forget about the incident. The boy on the other hand seemed to be, as Squirt had noted, eyeing Teioh critically, as if looking for some kind of concrete evidence for his suspicions. But how could Teioh prove him correct? The only thing, appearance-wise, that distinguished Teioh from an ordinary Espeon was the unusual eye colour, which wasn't much to go by considering that such things occurred naturally, Squirt being an excellent example. {I dunno} Teioh confessed after a while {How do you make a charade of something like that? If we just start flailing about we'll mostly likely just get our heads examined by the nurse. Could we maybe get them to ask me yes/no questions or something? I could answer by nodding or shaking my head.} What am I going to do?, he thought, scanning the expressions of the other Pok?mon in his vicinity as if expecting an answer to simply materialize out of thin air What the heck am I going to do?.

Seth's eyes widened as he heard something. He began looking around, confused a bit.

"What am I going to do? What the heck am I going to do?"

"Who just said that?" He said aloud to himself. Totodile looked up at him, a confused expression on its face. What is Seth talking about? Nobody said anything- Or at least anything that can be understood by a human... So what was he talking about?

"Toto?" It said quizically as it looked onto its trainer's face.

"Hm? Hey Totodile, did you hear that, too??"

"Toto..." It said simply as it shook its head with a "no."

Totodile turned to Squirtle and spoke.

{Is he going nutsy?} It asked, fairly confused itself.
 
Great Teioh thought, seeing Seth's sudden outburst, Just great, the only human who believes that I'm anything more than an ordinary Pok?mon is now an official crackpot intent on having loud dialouges with the little voices in his head.

{Is he going nutsy?} the Totodile, who had been silent this far, asked with a confused expression on his face.

{Apparently...} Teioh muttered {Although you must realize that you're asking an Espeon who used to be a normal teenager a few days ago what he thinks is crazy. My answer is hopelessly skewered, I'm afraid.}
 
Seth sscowled, sill looking ariound.

"Hey, who just called me a crackpot!?"He growled whilst stll looking around, his confusion rising.

On a normal day, Teioh would have caught up on such obvious evidence straight away but his mind, furiously making up for time lost in narcosis, was on a complete overdrive, running through his storage of synonyms at a frantic pace:

Flipped, crazy, nutso, off his rocker, raisins short of a fruitcake, rubber walls, screaming-mad-basket case...hang on, did he just say he heard someone call him a nutcase? That means...

Teioh's mind slowly and reluctantly backtraced a bit and put two and two together. Teioh took a look at the agitated trainer in full realization of the new gift he had just obtained, Oh bugger...
 
Seth took a look at the Espeon raising an eyebrow.

"Hey, what is it little guy? Why are you looking aat me like that??? I'm not yelling at you."
 
"Alright then...." the man began, lookinmg around to see if there are any witnesses..." i will tell you more information, as well as give you a complementory(cant spell the word....-_-, means free of charge) water bottle, if you can best me in a Pokemon Battle...it will be a..."

Lati interupted,"... it will be a one-on-one winner take all battle... I will give you my uber rare golden colored Eevee and I will offer myself up for a test subject in one experiment...I know how you evil organisations work"

The grunt nodded..either way we get a new rare pokmon or even two..." Fine...Raichu go!"

She grinned again...This is gonna be simple..." Blastoise I choose you!"

This time the grunt grinned..sure a blastoise was strong, but Raichu had power...his grin fell when the blue charizard appeared..." Wait TWO colored Pokemon!?!?! My this is a good find... Raichu, Thunder bolt that charizard"

"Blastoise, Fly!" The charizard flew up, her agility in the air causing her to just dodge the bold of lightening. She then somersaulted and landed with a belly flop on top ofthe raichu bfore it ha a chance to recover itself.she Looked at lati with a grin before rolling off of the raichu

"Grr..ok Raichu.... Thunder punch it"

the Raichu hit the charizard square on her blue belly, as she roared in pain... she then sank her teeth into the raichus fur, using a bite attack, something her trainer would have told her to do. The Raichu cried out in pain, and flinched, unable to do anythin for the moment...

" Ok Blastoise...Grab the Raichu, fly up into the air and use siesmic toss...go!"

the charizard l;ooked at her and nodded..she complied quickly, almost flinging the Raichu into the ground...the raichu attempted to get up, but fell backwards, KO'ed...



"Yay I win!!!" Lati grinned again.," so pay up...you owe me info and a drink..."

The grunt smile goodnaturedly, and nodded," that i do, but first, we Drink..." he tossed her a bottle of water wit hthe LG logo on it, (also with some pokemon dna in it...), and took a normal one for himself... he watched her carfully through slitted eyes...He smiled as she took a long swig...

What the...Lati began as she felt a strange sensation going through her body...the grunt, who was only a head taller than her seemed to be growing larger....wha.......Lati blacked out...

The grunt looked down in satifaction at the Golden colored eevee lying unconscious on the ground that mirrored the one that had been on the trainers shoulder...He picked up the Eevee on the ground and removed the pokeballs from the belt that hunng loosely around its body... he pocketed the balls for now, and picked up the hissing Eevee that was still awake, by the scruff of her collar...

The two Eevee were thrown into a room filled withthe cries of pokemon...((Trainer Kat, im gonna throw my charrie in with yours,,,)),into a cage that was already occupied,,,th grunt glared at the girl inside and threw the two Eevees into the cage before taking out the trainers pokeballs and releasing them into hte room to see what was inside...when the charizard was revealed, he quickly recalled it, knowing that it could be a dangerous pokemon...but the other.." Ahh a Mudkip...Hard to find if you dont start with one..."he threw the protesting fish pokemon into the cage with the eevee and the girl....

~~**[Lati is now a Poke Shifter...O.o what will happen next....}**~~

 
OOC: Got about half an hour til' we leave.

Seth took a look at the Espeon raising an eyebrow.

"Hey, what is it little guy? Why are you looking at me like that??? I'm not yelling at you."

So he didn't catch that thought, then? Teioh thought, slightly puzzled Maybe I have to focus, my thoughts on him or something? Come on, gimme some eye-contact.

Teioh locked eyes with the confused trainer and took focus Testing he thought Can you hear me?.
 
OOC: darnit..i just got inspired for an Rp thing, will anyone perhaps interupt the scene involving Lati and Rikku?...please...

IC: Tala nuzzled the Eevee beside her, begging her quietly to wake up...she looked at the girl in the cage with them pleadingly..." Please, can you help us..." she asked quietly, in a painfilled voice, that told anyone who heard that she cared for that particular Eevee very much. Tala nuzzled the Eevee again, before curling around her and sighing deeply.
 
Rikku looked at the newcomers. Two Eevees and a Mudkip. The Eevees were a golden color. One Eevee nuzzled the other before looking at Rikku and asking for help.

"Woah?! Y-you can speak?!" Rikku exclaimed.

She pat around her waist for Pikachu's Pokeball. Both of her Pokemon were gone, as well as her other belongings.

The LG worker must have taken my stuff when I was out... Rikku thought. She turned back to the Eevees.

"Don't worry, I'll figure somethin' out. Just you wait," she said.
 

Mara
-----------

"H-Huh?" Mara said frantically, looking at Seth with wide eyes, "What's going on?" Hearing voices wasn't normal. And no one else was in the room; so what in the world was he talking about.

"Hey, who just called me a crackpot?!" Seth growled out, staring around him angrily.

Squirtle pointed at Teioh, but Seth was too busy looking around to notice.

Seth then looked at Teioh with an even more confused face, "Hey, what is it little guy? Why are you looking at me like that??? I'm not yelling at you." He raised an eyebrow and Mara looked at the Espeon to.

"Maybe the little Espeon's the one calling you a crackpot?" she suggested, folding her arms, "After all, isn't it a psychic pokemon?" She was just grasping at straws, but it was the only thing that made sense, well, besides that maybe Seth was going crazy.
 
Seth felt a beam of sweat(and for anime fans, something similar to the sweatdrop effect) drip down his face as he turned to see Mara, now wearing a nervous grin.

"Hehehe... Of course it's a psychic type! I knew that..." He said as he blushed in his embarassment and turned to Teioh, his expression turning serious.

"What's the prblem?" He said bending down to ask the pokemon in a quizzical manner...

[meanwhile...]

The two LG executives entered the room and sniled as they sat down on two fold-up metal chairs on the left and right sides of the cage. One of them smiled as he looked directly into Rikku's blue eyes and set his black suitcase to the side. How pathetic the girl is, now rthat she's been caged up...

"Greetings, Rikku Starr. Pleasure to meet you so late tonight." He said, grinning in a way that others consider rather... Uncomforable. The other one then began to speak.

"I am Mr. Arikawa, and that fine gentlemen over there to your right is Mr. Harimoto."

The other man, Harimoto, chuckled.

"'Fine' gentleman, you say, Arikawa? I am flattered, though I have instincts that doubt I deserve it so."

"Well, you probably do not. I am just a generous man..."

Both then chuckled in the matter of siamese twins, which was further un-nerving.

"Hmm... Well, that said Ms. Starr, we have..." Arikawa said before clearing his throat and folding his hands in his lap.

"Business to discuss with you..." Harimoto finished as they both gave an un-nerving grin and a cental light cme on as the others came off, putting them in the dark.

Rikku and Tala wouldn't be leaving for a while...
 
OOC: i know this probly makes it uber confusing, but Lati is the Former Trainer and can only speak Pokemon, and Tala is a Pokemon, but she can speak Human. too make it slightly easier, I will change the font and colors of my various RP'ed charracters

IC:Tala nodded to Rikku, in conformation then said, " yes..lati helped me learn to speak...over the years we've been together, ive gotten better and better..i can now speak almost as well as any human..." She looked back down at the other Eevee and sighed again.

Lati stuggled to wakefulness...she sat up adn shook her head, her eyes still closed....her head felt unnaturally heavy...{Whoa} What the... she opened her eyes to meet the light blue eyes of Tala...{Hi Tala} Huh...why can i speak Pokemon...and why do my eyes meat Tala's...
AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...oh goddess what happened to me?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Tala looked at her..." Lati are you all right...you are Lati right?"

Lati nodded...{yes Tala its me, Lati...WHat happened...and why are you my size....and why can i speak Pokemon....}

"You changed when the grunt gave you the water...you now look like me...and they Took Blastoise away from you...Myst is still here."

Myst the Mudkip spoke up quietly{ Lati, Whats going on...why are we in a Cage}

Tala glanced at him." Myst, we are as Mystified as you are..." She Looks up at the girl again..." They called you Rikku did they not? Well i am Tala the Eevee, Friend and Pokemon of Lati of Team Aqua, or in some strange cosmic way, the Eevee beside me...Her Other Pokemon is Myst, this little Mudkip here....Our Charizard, Blastoise..."

{dont ask about her name...} Lati Broke in , then quickly looked down when she remembered that most people could not understand Pokemon.

"Yes, her name is strangely founded...but anyway, we dont know what happened to her..you are a human, cna you see a cage with a blue Charizard in it?" she asked Rikku hopefully.

"Hold on, lemme check," Rikku said, standing up. She stood on her toes in an attempt to see over some of the cages.

"Nah, I can't see nothin'," she said, shaking her head. She looked over to her left. Two LG executives entered and sat on fold-up metal chairs.

Rikku looked at them, a tad nervous, but unwilling to show it.

"Buisiness? What do ya mean?" she asked.

The lights flickered before going out. All that was left was a central light, eerily illuminating the workers' faces. Rikku let out a little whimper.
 
OOC: Hm... it's gonna be kinda hard to finish this part without Alter Ego.... Oh well, let's see what I can do.


Mara
-------------

Mara held back a giggle or two as Seth asked the Espeon what the problem he had was.

"Yeah, um, is there something we can help you with?" Mara said, still feeling a bit concerned. After all, if there was something that had happened to the little pokemon, then Mara and Seth would probably be eager to help.

However, before anyone had a chance to think or answer, Nurse Joy came in the room, and broke the temporary silence.

"Okay, visiting hours are over," she announced, begining to shoo the two trainers out of the room, "This pokemon needs his rest, and you two need to let him have it. You can come back to visit tomorrow or when he's well enough to leave."

"But--!" Mara began but was pushed out of the room. Squirt turned to Teioh and said a short good-bye.

{I guess you'll have to tell them later. Maybe we pokemon can get them to realize it before then. I promise you Teioh, I'll try my best,} Squirt said as she turned and leaped off the bed to follow Mara and Growlithe.

"Now go on, better get going you two," Nurse Joy said as she went back into Teioh's room and shut the door behind her.

{We've got to tell Mara and Seth that Teioh is a human!} Squirt said to both Growlithe and Totodile.

{Hmph,} grumbled Growlithe, not too fond of any of what was happening lately. In fact, he wished that they had just passed up this entire city altogether.

"Okay, so much for that; what do we do now?" Mara asked, looking at Seth curiously.
 
"Hmm... Maybe we should spend the night here... I have a hunch that there's more to that espeon than mees the eye..." Seth answered before walking with Mara to the lobby.

"Excuse me, Nurse Joy? Do you have any vacancy for two pokemon trainers? I'm afraid we have nowhere to sleep for the night..."

"Why certainly! The trainer rooms are in the hallway central hallway! You're in room A7 tonight. It has two beds and a television, along with a mini-fridge with soda insie, as well as food. Have a good night!" She replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Nurse Joy! Come on Mara, let's hit the sack!" He said as he collected the card key.

Luckily, the region's pokemon centers were known for their hospitality.

=================================================================

Arikawa leaned forward, his expression unchanging as he removed his sunglassses to reveal two soulless-looking brown eyes.

"I do believe you know what I'm talking about, Rikku. Recently, your little group has been interfering in our company's oprerations in Stardust City and Goldenrod City in Johto. Contrary to references, I believed that your group agreed to stop raiding our warehouses if we contributed to terra-forming in Stardust City and distributing water to who you call the 'little guy.'"

Harimoto also then leaned forward, his expression quite stoic.

"However, your group has not held up on their part of the deal."

Arikawa spoke again, his voice almost devoid of emotion, except for anger; a meek, chilling anger.

"We are businessmen, and hence do not like being lied to, Ms. Starr."

"Care to give..."

"An explanation...?"

(OOC: Trainer Kat, I'm doing this to add to the plot, can you pwease play along? ^^;)
