OOC: Yay! More RPers actually...uh...RPing here! ^_^
That night Teioh had a confusing dream, he was running through a grassy, sunlit, meadow, on all fours for some reason, with a soft breeze caressing his...fur? It felt odd, but all the wonderfull scents of summer that surrounded him quickly made Teioh forget about such trivial matters. He ran as fast as his feet could carry him until the grass around him suddenly grew shorter, finally ending in a river. Something about this river, the very manner in which the sunlight reflected from he crystal clear water, made Teioh vince and turn his gaze up, only to find himself looking into the eyes of another person, one that was identical to him with the exception of his, strangely familiar, clear blue eyes and the rebellious stripe of light purple in his otherwise black hair.
"Who are you?" Teioh tried to ask, but no words came out of his mouth. The other boy gestured meaningfully down at the river just by his feet, clearly instructing Teioh to look into it.
Doing so Teioh saw a face he had long admired, the face of an Espeon, with the boys eyes, Teioh's own eyes staring back at him, a faint smile crossed over the Pok?mon's face.
Teioh returned to the waking world on a stone cold floor, covered in cold sweat, with a strange feeling that he was wearing a fur coat. Stupid dreams, he thought for himself as his memories slowly seeped back into his mind those siamese freaks must have drugged the water.
Better check if I'm still in one piece...legs? His legs obediently made a few haphazard motions, check, arms?, although they somehow seemed to have lost some of their original mobility, particularly on the fingers' part, Teioh's arms seemed to move just fine so he consider them clear. Tail? the named appendage happily wagged back and forth Check. Hang on...tail?. Teioh quickly got up on his feet which, he was horrified to discover, were a good deal shorter. Teioh turned his head around slowly, allowing his eyes to adjust to the dim lighting, until he came face to face with his newfound appendage. {Whoa!} Teioh jumped backwards in astonishment, only to find that he instinctively regained his balance with all fours. Noticing something that looked like a large bowl of water in one of the corners Teioh went to check his reflection wishing, against all reason, that he was somehow mistaken, that this was still a part of his dream. As tends to be the case with such wishes, it wasn't granted. Teioh's gaze was once again met by an Espeon, although it wore a far more disturbed expression than previously.
{New one are you?} came a calm voice from a shaded corner. As Teioh turned towards it he was surprised to see a Rattata, an old one with foggy eyes, matted fur, and a limp hind leg slowly making its way towards him.
{New what?}
{New Pok?mon of course.} the Rattata stated matter-of-factly {You know, you might be more of a conversationalist than your friend over there...} the little creature gestured towards a particularly vacant looking Slowbro, whom Teioh surmised was Biggs {...but you don't seem to be much brighter.}
{There's no need to be rude.} Teioh muttered, being in no mood for an argument, he walked over to the Slowbro, {Biggs! It's me, Teioh! Remember?}
The creature slowly turned its head towards him {Ttttteeeeiiiiioooohhhh?} it rumbled with extreme effort, its big brow furrowed in a vain attempt to remember.
{Like I said, he's not excactly the life of the party. This far, the only other thing I've been able to squeeze out of him is 'Biggs wants'.} The Rattata stated.
{What happened to him?} Teioh, asked turning to face the old creature.
{It's the Slowbro DNA.} he said looking at Biggs with what Teioh guessed was pity {They really live up to their name, Slowbros.}
{I see...} Teioh said, slightly crestfallen. {By the way} he said, suddenly realizing that he didn't even know what to call the person he was probably bound to spend a good deal of his life with {I'm Teioh. What's your name?}
{Limpy} the Rattata said gesturing at its limp leg {At a time I was probably called something else, but Limpy is the name I remember.}
{At a time? How long have you been here anyway?}
{Bout' four years I recon', I've been putting in a scratch in the wall every day. Cept' I ran out of wall a while back, so give or take a year, eh? My fur wasn't always this colour.}
{How did you-}
{My own fault I suppose.} Limpy said scratching his head absent-mindedly {I was loitering around the factory grounds, looking for Rattata, my favourite Pok?mon you see, when a couple of those LG men came and offered me a drink.}
Teioh rolled his eyes {And you weren't even a little bit suspicious?}
{Of course I was!} Limpy snapped {But I figured it would be more beneficial to play along. You probably though as much considering that you're here.}
{Well...}
{Anyway, I woke up here with two other folks and this.} he brought up his leg for inspection.
{What happened to the others?}
{Sold} Limpy said briefly {At an exorbiant price, no doubt, while I was simply left behind, forgotten but fed. I still can't decide wether I am lucky or unlucky to have turned into a common-as-dirt Pok?mon.}
{They're selling people?} Teioh asked, horrified {Don't the customers get a little bit suspicious?}
{No} Limpy replied bluntly {Most of the subjects just can't seem to comprehend their sudden change and either go vegetable or berserk. Four odd years detained here with only a bunch of deadbeats and psychopaths for company, is this hell or what?}
{Then why are you and I-}
{Different? Dunno.} Limpy confessed {Maybe we were still capable of adapting because we were exposed to it at a young age, or perhaps there was something exceptional in our drinks.}
{Young?} Teioh eyed the Rattata sceptically.
{Rattatas age fast} Limpy retorted {And I suspect there was something fishy about the 'water' they gave me, I was still a teenager when I was caught.}
{So what do we do then?}
{You're a psychic type. Can't you use your powers to tear the door of its hinges or something?}
It sounded like it was worth a try. Teioh turned towards the door, closed his eyes, and tried to concentrate (That was how he imagined psychic powers worked)
{Is it moving?} he asked after a few minutes of concentration.
{Not a bit. Some Espeon you are...}
{Give me a break} Teioh groaned {I'm new at this.}
Come on, he thought, gritting his teeth and staring furiously at the wall, Out of my way!. Suddenly he felt his forehead throbbing, he was vaguely aware of Limpy telling him something, maybe telling Teioh to keep it up? Or to give it up? It didn't matter. The only thing that mattered was the door standing between him and freedom and its imminent and eternal banishment to whatever place bad doors go to when they cease to exist.
*CLANG!*
The sound of the thick metal giving in snapped Teioh out of his trance. The door was still standing, but there was now a signifcant dent in it, as if somebody had struck it with a small battering ram, Biggs was still completely oblivious to the events and was inspecting the shellder on his tail.
Limpy looked at Teioh, eyes gleaming with excitement, {Do that again.}

Uh yeah ok. Well, I have no idea how and where to start out at this point. I hate missing the start of RPs. It takes a while to catch up and can just get you behind. Oh well. I skimmed over all the other posts so I'll do my best. If all else fails I'll simply leave the RP. IC post coming soon.
