Not open for further replies.
OOC: Yeah, I've been wondering about that too. I haven't seen Trainer Kat around here for a while, she's probably busy with real life issues. Smarty Arty is just a lazy git so he's dropped out. But for the rest...I can't say.

IC:

I'll tell you in a moment. Teioh communicated to Squirt before turning his attention back to Mara. I'm sorry, did I say something wrong? he asked worriedly I'm afraid I don't had very much experience in this mindspeak bussiness...nor in speaking with girls for that matter. But I meant no offence. he took a brief pause again Regardless, It's a pleasure to meet you Mara. Now, I believe you wanted to ask me some questions the last time we met, yes? Please feel free to do so, and I'll answer as best I can.

OOC: Ah well, maybe they'll show up after we keep posting for a while. *cough*wishfulthinking*cough*


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

"Well," replied Mara, feeling a bit better since Teioh apologized, "I'd like to know what had happened to you. How did you get to be a pokemon? I know that Seth saw someone get turned into a pokemon; but how'd they do it to you?"

Squirt continued to watch thoughtfully. She was enjoying all of this, and she had this strange feeling of excitement.

Growlithe looked rather bored; why did any of this really matter? Weren't they supposed to be on a journey? Why did Mara have to stop and deal with all this? Had she changed into a pokemon? No; so why did it matter so much to her to stick herself into other people's business...?
 
OOC: One can always hope, no?

IC:

Well, it's a bit complicated. Teioh replied, scratching his hind-leg once more You might want to take a seat... With that, the boy extended the mindlink to Squirt and Growlithe, so as to avoid having to repeat himself, and duly recounted the events that had lead to this point. How he had ran away from home after a huge quarrel with his parents, how Biggs picked him up on the roadside, how they were both tricked and intimidated into drinking the spiked water, and finally his daring escape from the LG factory with the aid of Limpy. And that he concluded, his head slightly throbbing Is more or less how I became what you see here now.

Seth was actually searching for his other sneaker as this was going on. He finally found the thing, converniently kicked under the noghtstand. Great. Realizing that he couldn't reach there, he decided that maybe he can ask Ekans to help him out here.

"Come on out, Ekans! Can you help me out, buddy?"

'Ekansss!"

The pokemon slithered under the nightstand and shorly slithered back into the open, shoe in its mouth. Seth grinned as he gladly tooked the shoe and slipped it onto his foot.

"Thanks!" He said as he smiled before recalling Ekans and heading out the room, heading towards Teioh's room down the halls at a brisk pace. But a man walking down the hall caught his eye almost immediately. His stacture was that of a 6'3" giant, with a well-toned physique. He was a cue ball, devoid of any hair on his head but a few bristles on his chin and his eyebrows. His skin had a slightly golden tan to it, and he wore a jet black suit. His tie had a green and a silver lapel pin, the initials on it displaying the abbreviation "LG" embossed upon- Wait a minute, LG!? Oh, wonderful...
Not wanting to attract attention to himself, he made his way to the room.

"Sorry I'm late," He said as he entered the room and took a seat in the other chair. "I had to conduct a bit of a manhunt for one of my sneakers. Anything I missed?"
 
OOC: I would post, but i was waiting for some random person to enter the room with my cage in it...*mrows* im being ignored ;_; waaaaa!!!!
 
OOC: Meh, I was ignored in the beginning too (Just look at my earlier posts, loads of solo dialouge). You're free to RP any LG grunts or sidecharacters I think...

IC:

Teioh, who had just finished recounting his story to Mara, rolled his eyes. His recent experience having allowed him to harness his psychic powers far more efficiently he promptly added Seth to the conversation.

Yes. he replied I suppose you could say that. He introduced himself to Seth and gave him a quick recount of his story, this explanation bussiness was going to be more exhausting than he had thought.

(OOC: I got the guard! ^^ )

[The night before:]

A middle-aged and slightly obese security guard suddenly awoke to a strange sound coming from he lockdown area, dropping a bottle of what appeared to be rum as he suddenly sprung awake.

"Hrrrn... Hrrgh...? What the...?" He murmured in a sleepy voice as he sat up and grabbed his flashlight gingerly from his belt. Without wasting time, he turned it on and then proceeded to stand up and began to hobble-walk down the hall, using his free hand to pull his sagging pants back up over his briefs. One might even say that he looked ike the world's human doughboy. As he continued to hobble down the halls, lmos tripping over a box at one point, he stood upon his tippy-toes and shined the light where Lati and most of the pokemon were being held. The Charizard had been isolated, however, due to safety concerns from the staff members.

Fortunately, the guard was... Well, let us just say there was a very strange twinkle in his eyes as this all occurred, shall we?

"Oh, it's just the little fishies banging round in their steel cages. Fishies funny!" He said in a strangely disoriented tone before getting off his tippy-toes and hobbing back to his post tohis chair, which he fell into before snoozing again.

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

[back to NOW]

Seth smirked.

"So, it is just like I suspected. LG is after you as well..."

What Teioh may be able to sense within the young man next to him, however, was a slowly rising tide of anger towards the corrupt corporation. If these guys were willing to kill anyone or anything in their way, then they probably would have no prblem with
ordering them to be executed.

"Teioh," He said as his expresson suddenly became very serious and stern.

"Who's pulling the strings on this operation...? What did they look like?"
 
OOC: Ooh, all three of us online at the same time. Yayness! ^_^ I'll post as soon as Light Azumarill finishes up.
 
OOC: Yeah, and with only like three of us posting besides you (all in the same spot mind you), I wouldn't expect anyone to be coming anytime soon. I'd just make up someone like Alter Ego said and get escape somehow.


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

"Oh my gosh... so you were like that guy that Seth saw! You drank something and then... and then...," Mara trailed off, looking worried, "This is crazy."

{Crazy, but true,} added Squirt, folding her arms.

Mara looked over to the door as someone had just opened it. To Mara's relief it was Seth, and he appeared to be sound and whole. He apologized for his lateness and explained about having to search for a sneaker. Mara was glad to know that he had not been kidnapped or turned into a pokemon.

Seth then asked if he had missed anything, and Teioh began a second recount of his story.

As Seth asked Teioh what the men looked like, Mara wondered something too.

"I wonder if there's any way to change you back? I mean, they must have some antidote in case of accidents with their workers," Mara said, but suddenly a thought occurred to her, "Then again... maybe they don't care about what happens to their workers."
 
OOC: *refresh* *refresh* *refresh*

IC:

Well... Teioh began, answering Seth's question first I'm not excactly sure who's pulling the strings. But I do know that Bigg's said those siamese freaks who spiked our water were LG excecutives. As for your question Mara, I doubt they have an antidote. If some of their people accidentally drank the stuff they'd probably just be sold with the rest of em'. he took a brief pause But...Limpy did mention that I was a bit of an unusual case. Most people loose their minds during the transformation, you see. So maybe they put a more advanced compound in mine? We'll just have to wait and see about that I guess. Not that being an Espeon is that terrible, mind you. he added thoughtfully I just wish I could turn doorknobbs and talk.
 

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

"Yeah you're probably right," replied Mara, "Why would I think that such people would actually care?"

Right then Growlithe stood up from his relaxed position and sniffed the air. He had smelled something suspicious just before Seth had come in, but brushed it off as Seth himself. Now he wasn't too sure and walked up to the door.

Mara turned around. "What is it Growlithe?" she asked, walking up to the door and looking through the small window near the top.

As she looked through it she saw a man talking to Nurse Joy. Nurse Joy nodded and pointed down the hallway to the room they were all standing in.

"H-Hey! There's a bald guy out there talking to Nurse Joy and she just pointed to this room!" Mara informed the others outloud, "He doesn't look like the kind to want to leave flowers and a get well card for Teioh either!"
 
Teioh attuned his senses to the thoughts of the man outside, and he didn't like what he sensed It's an LG opperative. he stated What do we do? emotions of worry coursed out from Teioh. There was nowhere to hide and if the LG employee discovered him, his friends would undoubtedly be in trouble. I doubt this one will be fooled by the old cat immitation. Suddenly, Teioh's stomach knotted itself and he had a feeling that would ususally send him running to the bathroom. He staggered slightly as his body began to glow, his long, slender tail turning into a small, bushy one, his ears narrowing and his vision faultering as the ground beneath Teioh's feet rushed to meet him once more.

When the LG operative entered the room the first thing he saw was an unconscious Umbreon lying on the pok?mon center bed.

The LG operative glanced down at the group, his face stoic as ever.

"You two trainers happen to see an Espeon in here?" He asked, leaning down, only raising an eyebrow. He did lookm nevertheless, rather intimidating...

Seth,m quixckly realizing that he didn't realize who he was, quikckly replied.

"Uh... No, sir. Sorry..."

The man, lowered his shades and gave Seth a hard piercing stare.

"Are you sure...?"

"Yes."

He leaned back and moved his shades into position again and stood there silently dfor a moment before walking out.

'"Have a good day,.." He said, shuttting the door as he salked out of the room. There was a moment's silence before Seth breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, that was close..."
 
OOC: Moving along then...


Mara
----------

"What the...?" Mara trailed off, both confused and awed by the sight of what was happening to Teioh.

Squirt shot an apprehensive glance to Growlithe, and Growlithe took a moment to look into her large, lavender eyes and suddenly leaped forward. He grabbed her up in his mouth and shoved her into a pile of used towels sitting in the corner behind the door.

"Cover up," he said gruffly, and then darted up to stand in front of Mara.

By then, the man had come into the room, and was staring at Teioh the Umbreon with a puzzled expression.

The LG opperative shot around to look over Seth, his bald head gleaming in the bright lights on the ceiling. Mara was sincerely hoping that Seth was very good at acting.

He asked Seth a few times if he had seen an Espeon, but Seth remained calm and stood his ground. After a few tense moments, the man left, and the room relaxed.

"Squirt?" I asked, looking around.

Squirt emerged from the pile of rags from behind the door. She looked disgruntled, and shot Growlithe a glare.

{What on Earth was the meaning of pushing me into a pile of dirty towels that were covered in who knows what?!} she asked savagely.

Growlithe looked a bit offended, but remained cool, {Those men wanted you from before, who's to say that that man wouldn't have wanted you as well.}

"Luckily he believed you Seth," Mara expressed, still feeling a bit shaken. She didn't take hard times too well.

"Teioh? You okay?" she added, looking at the unconscious Umbreon.
 
OOC: Is Teioh capable of mindspeak in this form? Could he be? Pwetty pweese?

IC:

Slowly, the Umbreon began to stir. It's black eyelids opening to reveal a pair of light blue eyes.

[Mmph?] Teioh got back on his feet a bit unsteadily. [Whoa, looks like blacked out for a moment. What happened to the LG worker?] he looked around at the confused stares he was recieving from the others in the room. [Hmm?] he went over to Squirt who was usually the most level-headed one [What are you guys looking at?] he flicked his tail tentatively as he awaited her reply, the tail felt kind of different now but he couldn't really say why.
 
OOC: I don't see why not. I mean, you used psychic powers to transform, and you'll need them to change back, so you should still be able to talk psychically, right?


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

{We're staring at you,} Squirt replied with a supressed giggle, {Because you're no longer a purple pokemon with a long, slender tail.}

She giggled a bit more, and looked at Growlithe, who was not smiling that much at all.

On the contrary the dog pokemon felt uneasy about that LG man that had just been in there. He didn't like Mara and Squirt being mixed up with all of this and could just sense that if they didn't move away from this place soon, that more men would come; men that would not be so easily fooled.

Mara could tell that Growlithe was unhappy about this, and she wished that there were something she could do to ease his mind. "Wanna go in yor pokeball for a rest?" she asked, hoping this would make him relax.

Growlithe shook his head. He cared too much about Mara and Squirt to leave them alone like that. He could do without rest. For now.

{You're a bushy-tailed, black, yellow ringed pokemon with creepy red eyes!} Squirt pointed out to Teioh, after her moment of giggling was up.
 
OOC: Well, he transformed because of the compound in his water (It allows a total of three forms), but Umbreon's can learn psychic too so why not? Oh, and his eyes are still blue by the way. They don't change with the rest of his body.

IC:

{Huh?} Teioh skipped over to a nearby mirror he hadn't spotted earlier and examined himself. {So...I'm an Umbreon now?}he asked, not feeling quite as surprised at his transformations anymore. {Well, that was an utterly disturbing and unsatisfying experience.} Suddenly, another thought struck him, would he be able to communicate in this form? He turned towards Mara and to his relief the powers worked with a little extra effort. Umm...yeah, I'm fine. he replied to her earlier question Just a bit confused and more than a little bit freaked out. What happened while I was unconscious?

OOC: OMG i totally forgot about the fact that the Pokemon SHifters have three forms...My escape is now planned...Mwahahaha

IC:
Lati sits down on her haunches after the guard left...{Tala, i just thought...What happened to me...? why am i this...} she shakes a paw at herself

"Frankly Lati, i have no Idea," Tala said, confused." i really dont know."

Lati stood up again and looked at her Mudkip...{ Myst...the beautiful...elegant...swmmy....Water Type...wait..Water!!!! the LG grunt gave me that water....i drank it and then blacked out......I woke up and was me now...Curse those LG workers....}

Her Gaze flitted to myst again...she wondered what would happen if she had become Myst instead of Tala...he gaze wavered some nadshe fell to the ground, suddenly weakened...her eyes closed as her world faded to black....

[about five mins later]
Tala watched on in awe as the little golden colored Eevee that was Lati suddenly turned into a Mudkip..."what the...?" she said, even more confused...
 
"Some LG goon showed up, presumably looking for you..." Seth replied, looking around the room in observation.

He saw that Mara's Growlithe was also very wary as well. The other pokemon seemed oblibvious almost to what may be the impending danger. Saying nothing as he replied solely to Teioh through his thoughts as he made direct eye contact with the small and dark pokemon before him.

(Teioh? Teioh, can you hear me? It's me, Seth.) He thought telepathically. Thankfully, he knew how to communicate with psychic life-forms; make eye contact and direct your thoughts to that being. How did he know this? Simple; One of his closest cousins just so happened to be Sabrina, the telepathic gym leader of Saffron City in Kanto. She taught it to him a couple years ago during a family picnic in his home town.

(Listen Teioh, I have a feeling that if we don't leave town soon, LG is going to sick some goons after us. I think that if you stick with us however, we can figure out how to stop them. I know of quite a few towns where we can all stick together to lay low, so don't fret over that stuff; I have it covered. The reason I didn't say this out loud is because I don't want to worry Mara and I don'twanther to know that we may all be in impending danger. What do you say?)
 
Teioh was slightly startled by the professional way in which Seth contacted him, it seemed like the boy had experience in this field and he made a note of asking about it later on. Teioh listened to the proposal with an occasional nod, he'd definitely had wanted to travel with these people, to repay his debt if nothing else but he wasn't sure about the point concerning Mara though.

Well Seth Teioh replied as the boy stopped his message Your proposal sounds fine and I accept it but I don't really fancy keeping Mara in the dark. his bushy tail twitched a bit She's becoming involved in this too and it's only fair that she should know what she's gotten herself into. he focused the gaze from his bright blue eyes straight into Seth's pair Can you promise me that you will tell her what's going on, without obscuring or changing facts, as soon as we're out of immediate danger?
