Rai shook his head at Jena's statement. "Nonsense." he said "Your voice is no worse than anyone else's, you've just never been taught how to use it properly." he smiled a bit "I could try to teach you, if you're interested." he added, taking a brief pause before continuing.

"Anyhow, like I said, mother didn't know I was being taught acting until rather recently. It was father who arranged it for me, with the help of an old friend of his, he wanted me to expand my horizons, to find my own way in life, but as usual, mother had other plans...but I'm sure you know what it's like to be under family pressure." he added to Jena "So Mareep rearing was the only thing you were taught? You must be a natural as a trainer then, I mean, your pok?mon are obviously very fond of you, a lot more than many of the so-called 'trained' ones I've battled."

The boy looked up at Maxie's question, "There's more to life than wealth, Maxie." he said, "Besides, after all those training lessons I had to go through it would have been a waste to just ignore everything I had learned. But the most important reason..." he smiled a bit "Is standing right next to me." he stroked Chupon's head affectionately "Ever since Chupon ended up in my care, I knew that this is what I wanted to do. To travel and see the world together with my pok?mon." he cast an absent-minded glance towards the horizon "Entering the league should be an experience for me and my pok?mon, especially if we can win. And it will be the final proof that I'm strong enough to have my freedom."
 
Ooc-
Yay,Yibber rules the first post of the page again!!Muahahah!>D

Ic-
"Ah,that's the fun of it!"Jena smiled at Maxie.

"Thinking up of the nicknames is one of the best parts of pokemon training!"the girl held the Wurmple up above her head and grinned.

{Hey,what are you doing?!You are doing,what is it?!}the Wurmple struggled out of her hands playfully,and landing on Jena's head.
"It'll come soon enough."the girl shrugged happily as the Wurmple's tail dropped infront of her right eye,before turning to the boy next to her.

"You could be right,but,all people aren't born the same way you know?"she told Rai.

"What if I don't want to learn how to sing?"she added teasingly.

"Seriously though,thanks for the offer!"

{Oh,yeah,thousands,billions and gazillions of the sheep pokemon!!}Cascade waved his paws around wildly.
{I think you're exaggerating,Cassy.}Ryne wagged a hand at the Mudkip,who simply nodded,before twirling around.

{Yeah,I think there were only a few hundred!}Ryne sighed in defeat,resting her head on one hand,actually looking forward to what the pokemon would say next.

"Yeah,Mareep Rearing,to tell you all the truth,I never liked it.Everyday,it was the same thing-Go rear the Mareep,go get the flock together,why aren't you at your training?-"the girl repeated what her father and mother said to her,changing the sentences,all except for the last one.

"Always ran away when I had the chance,pratice my coordinating with Ryne and Cascade,and I guess,after being with me for so long,they started liking contests too!"

The Mudkip and Ralts looked up at the statement,nodding in agreement before turning back to the pokemon.

"Looks like you and Chupon aren't bad either,eh?"the girl smiled as Rai told them about him and Chupon.

"Maxie and Fang.Kayley and Fishy.Zach and Ron.Silver and Miruka."the girl slowly checked off the names in her head.

"See?I'm not the only one who had a strong bond with my pokemon!"she told Rai in a matter of fact tone.

OOC: You didn't like that movie, Charon?

Aw, Herbie ish sad, yes he is. Well, true, the second movie was kinda sappy. The original was like omigod so much, like, totally better, you like, know what I'm, like, saying!?!?

Eww, today I have to do homework that I've ignored since Wednesday.



IC:


Kayley had been silent for the rest of the conversation, since she had stated that she would think about tunes. But suddenly, she perked up and out of her trance, almost leaping into the air.

"That's it! Woohoo!" She exclaimed, setting the black case down on the ground, on its side. Bending her knees, she flipped the latches that sealed it shut open (apparently they weren't locked) and flipped the case open.

The instrument inside was very shiny indeed, for as soon as the case was opened, a flash of light courtesy of the sun nearly blinded Kayley, but she ignored it easily and reached down, gently grabbing it and lifting it out of its cushioned spot.

'Twas a shiny, silver trumpet, which looked about as good as new, even though Kayley had been playing the thing for years. It was missing the mouthpiece, but that was soon remedied when Kayley reached into the case again and put it in its proper place.

At this point, Fishy hopped off of her shoulder, not wanting to disturb his Trainer in any way while she played. {Yay Kay-Kay!} He exclaimed from the deck. {Everyone be quiet now!}

With one hand, she closed the case, then stood back up. Then, with her right hand, she fingered the valve keys for a few moments, then stopped when she had confirmed that they didn't need to be oiled. Holding the trumpet properly with two hands, standing tall (because it's terrible to play with terrible posture, aye?), Kayley paused before she began.

"Don't shoot me if I suck! Heh." She called out to the others before lifting the trumpet to her mouth, and instantly her made-up melody came flowing out, pretty much carrying around the whole ship and beyond since it was naturally a loud instrument.

"Pesky ungrateful punks.." The Captain muttered, putting on some ear muffs. "Making a racket while I try to help out and transport 'em.. Lousy teens.."

Her melody was slow at the moment--very calming, and setting a rather peaceful feeling in the air. Fishy seemed no longer like his hyper self, sitting down and actually being quiet on the deck while she played, enthralled by every half note, quarter note, whatever she'd play out, for now in a soft, relaxing type of sound.




OOC: How many of you knew it was a trumpet before this post? Be honest. XD
 
OCC: *waves hand in the air* I............. didn't know..

IC:

Silver stared at Kayley looking impressed.. very impressed.. The tune that came out from her trumpet was simply soothing..

"Marvellous... simply marvellous.." Silver said to Kayley while she's still playing the piece..

{Hey Fishy.. your trainer plays very well.. At least she has her own talent.. Unlike Silver..} Yukari told Fishy..

{I would appreciate if you zip up your mouth and let me enjoy this piece..}Miruka complained..
 
OOC: *Raises hand into the air* I did. Ever since you revealed it was an instrument I was practically certain since that is no more or less than the very instrument you play in real life. ^^

IC:

"Perhaps we aren't..." Rai replied to Jena's comment "But that doesn't mean we can't become it, if we all really want to, not that we do..." he added.

At Jena's reply concerning singing, Rai smiled a bit once more "You're quite welcome." he said "And there's not much I can do if you don't want to learn." he added "I just noticed that you happen to have a beautiful voice and it would be a shame to let it go to waste. But it is, as they say, your choice."

As the girl went on to describe her old routine, Rai once again had the strange feeling that Jena wasn't being entirely honest. It wasn't that there was anything downright wrong in what she said, it just didn't seem to match her manner. Now Rai might not have been an expert when it came to Mareep rearers, but somehow the picture that the word created in his head was quite far from Jena. The boy was just about to comment on this when Kayley suddenly proclaimed that she had found her tune, finally opening the ominous black case she carried around with her and revealing its contents; a trumpet, but not just any trumpet. It was a beautiful silver one, the instrument still shining brightly in the sunlight despite showing signs of considerable use. Rai fell silent as Kayley began checking her instrument, knowing full well how impolite it was to disturb an artist at work. As the girl began playing her actual melody, Rai closed his eyes, focusing only on the tunes that came out of the trumpet and allowing the soothing melody to rid his mind of whatever fragments of his dream still remained.

Chupon followed suit, smiling for himself and rocking back and forth in cue with the music.
 
Maxie smiled contentedly. "Where did you learn to play like that?" she asked. "You're very good."
{I agree,} Fang said, his voice strangely thin and whispy, {It makes me...sleepy...} and fell asleep, right there and then, on Maxie's shoulder. The girl rolled her eyes.
"Ignore him, Kayley. It's not your playing - but he's been awake and all day too now, so he's a little bit sleepy." Maxie cooed, craddling her little bat in her arms. He snuffled, but didn't move much.

{ooc| It wasn't the movie I didn't like, it was Lindsay Lohan (who I normally like) and that actor guy. I think they over-egged their lines ^^; *is a fussy drama student*

EDIT: lookitmahnewpictureplzkthx =D
[PokeCommunity.com] Showgan -- Standing On Edge (Invitational)

It has nothing to do with this roleplay, but as I've been working on it on and off all day... LOOKIT IT!
Any ideas for a background?}

OOC: O Em Gee! That's beautiful Charon! Love the bushy tail. ^^ Although the tail's base looks a tad narrow...gah, never mind me, looks like I'm feeling prickish at the moment. Anyhow, for the background...hmm...how about a nice snowy landscape, with snowflakes gently falling down from the sky? It would kind of be kind of calm, beautiful but still kind of fit that sad expression. Just a thought. ^^
 
OOC: WOO!!! Charon, that's so purty! ^^

I never could draw animal ears like that..

As for the background, I think it looks like a sunset kinda piccy, I dun know why. o_O

You dun like Lindsey Lohan, either, ay? She used to be okay, but.. You know, there are some people that just aren't meant to be blonde. XD

Oh yeah, and... *gives Alter four cookies for knowing that it was a trumpet XD*



IC:


Kayley smiled in appreciation at Silver's comment, but she kept on playing even so. She then had to stop herself from laughing and screwing up the whole thing when Fang fell asleep, and even more so when Maxie apologized for it. But through the whole thing she continued to play, the soothing melody resonating out over the ocean around them.

Fishy nodded at Yukari's comment, although he made no reply, which was simply because he wanted to hear the whole of Kayley's melody, and that meant that no sound would come from the little Mudkip until Kayley stopped playing.

And for several more minutes, soothing sounds continued to come from the trumpet, until Kayley decided that she had played enough, ending the song with a long decrescendo (getting steadily softer, for those who don't know XD), so that the melody did not really vanish instantly and abruptly.

And as Kayley lowered her trumpet, Fishy instantly exploded into sound. {WOO! Yay! Another excellent performance!}

Kayley blushed sheepishly at Fishy's comment, although she couldn't help grinning because she was so happy.
 
Ooc-
Ooooh!!I kinda thought it was a trumpet.XD
Do I get a cookie?Cheese maybe??^^

And,another wondeeful piccy Charon!^^
The tail's so fluffy!!
And the ears are big,and fluffy!!!XD
Me like the colors you used.
Though,I haven't a clue on the background,sorry!^^''

Today in skool,it was like,boring,there was a Prize Giving Ceremony.
Then,Yibber was like,talking,then,her friend randomly named her 'John'.

Yeah, a have another name!XD
Now,I have an urge to name all of you,as I have named all the people in my class!
Plushie-Nicholas
Titan-Samantha
Melissi-Eric
Charon-Ivan
XD

And I believe that Flissi ish Joshua correct?

Ic-
Jena felt a little contented as Rai complimented her.Was she blushing?
Then,the girl remembered what Master Kendre had taught her.

"Do not let complimets flow to your head,lest it fills up with hot air and bursts."

The girl let out a small chuckle,her Sensei was pretty weird at times,but this was definately one saying she would keep in her mind.

"Thanks,Rai.But.."before the girl could finish her sentence,Kayley had finally decided on a piece to play,and took out her trumpet from the odd black case she had been carrying around.It was so shiny,Cascade couldn't help but stare,then the girl started playing her trumpet.

The tune was wonderful,like thin,delicate strands of silk.Jena swayed her head,back and forth,simply captivated by the music.As the girl slowly brought her piece to a close,Jena was the first to start clapping.

"Wow,that was just great Kayley,you have a great talent!!"Jena commented,applauding the girl.

{Wow!She's plays nice!Its nice,the way she plays!}the Wurmple,still on Jena's head,clapped six of his legs together,having thoroughly enjoyed the piece.

{Yes,that sounded nice,like when Jena plucks the strings on her wooden box,cept' that this sounds very different!!}Cascade clapped his fins,his small eyes still on the trumpet.

{Wonderful,simply,wonderful.}Ryne softly clapped her hands,not knowing what other words could be used to describe such music.

BUT AS FOR YOU! [/menacing voice]

You shall be forever humiliated! Instead of John, Plushie hereby dubs you Ernie!

And to further your embarassment... Bubu clones! EAT HER HAIR!!! *Bubu clones swim towards Yibber's Ernie's hair*

I'm gonna wait some more before I post an IC.

Uh...
Sorry Plushie!!!^^''

Well,what are the chances of Plushie almost being named Samantha,and me randomly calling Titan,Samantha???XD
*ignores Bubu clones chewing on hair*
They shall go away soon,once they find out I have a little dandruff.XD

Ernie sounds cute!!^^
Yibber/Ernie ish immune to humiliation!!!Muahah!!*hack*

And,I just realised tha Nicholas isn't a good name,so I hereby rename Plushie,
Kenneth!!(Maybe Elmo.XD)

And,since Titan's female name got taken by Plushie,I shall now name him(for the moment,until I manage to come up with a better name^^)-
Julia!

Still,its really freaky and cool that I randomly managed to come up with Samantha.o_O
Please feel free to change the names of the others as much as you want!
I'm still pondering over whether to change the names again.XD

OOC: Julia? O_O Now that's just freaky, Julia was the name of my upper elementary school nemesis. Ah yes, I still remember how we said nasty things to each other for no apparent reason...good times, good times. well, we did manage a ceasefire a bit before graduating though. But regardless! You have named me after my nemesis, Yibber! For that you shall feel my word-wrangling wrath! I hereby dub thee...Gregory! XP *Chews on cookies* In your face Gregory! XD

IC:

As the last tunes of Kayley's piece began dying down, Rai opened his eyes, smiling broadly. "Beautiful..." he said simply, performing a polite applause for the piece but maintaining a peacefull manner "Simply beautiful..."

{Yeah!} Chupon concured, although he lacked his trainer's self-control and simply leapt up in enthusiastic applause as the piece came to an end {That was great!}

"Kayley..." Rai said after a pause "Where did you learn to play like that?"
 
OCC: Pardon Flissie.. cause she knows that she's gonna be ranted and chased.. Here's Flissie's choice of names for everyone..

Titan- Natalie (Mwahaha.. Nagging all day.. just like her.. XD)

Plushie- Plue (The cute and adorable little creature from meh fave anime Rave!!)

Melissa- Malfoy (Draco Malfoy.. Not the son.. ^^ Cause I can't wait ta' watch HP and the Goblet of Fire..)

Charon- Cadbury (I'm carving for chocolates.. *drools*)
 
OOc-
AHHH!!
I pressed the wrong button,and my post got deleted,and now I must type it again.T_T

Ah!!Flissi actually named Titan after Natalie?That's...just scary Flissi.XD

Yayness!!I've another name now,though,Elmo doesn't sound bad!XD

Still.Ahem*clears throat*
Really Titan,I am appauled by your behaviour,is Gregory the best you can come up with?For that injustice,I change your name(again) to Gwendolin(fine,I might not be able to spell it,but its the...ranting that counts righ??XD)
Really Titan,I expected better from you.*sigh*
XD

Ic-
"Yes,where did you learn how to play like that?"Jena stopped clapping a waited patiently for Kayley to answer.The Wurmple jumped off her head and landed next to Ryne,still swaying side to side.

{Wow,I never had that music ever,that music,that music,I seem to have not heard of it before.}the Wurmple stated honestly.

OOc-
Eh,noting to post,so I shall fore-shadow(again).^^

BIc-
"WHAT?!?!"a woman slammed her hands hard on her desk.She took slow breaths,trying to absorb what the Karate Master infront of her was saying.The woman got up from her chair,and started pacing around her office.Folding her arms as she furrowed her brow,only with anger.
The woman who was in her mid-forties,had long brown hair,tied neatly into two ponytails behind her.Wearing green clothing of some sort,which looked oddly like a kimono,except that it wasn't as long,and neither were its sleeves.

"We've looked all around the school!None of the children saw her,the maids couldn't find her!But,Kendre said he had seen her for training this morning,could she have vanished??What should we do Madam Minane?"the man infront of the woman asked.

"That girl,that...dreamer."she said the last word with disgust,taking in all the facts which the Karate Master told her.

The woman,out of agitation,punched her office desk with one hand.

"Don't you see?!See ran away!I knew that this would happen!"Zhena shouted,the man backed up a few steps,startled by the woman's sudden outburst.

"Get my husband!Get him now!!"

"Yes!!Yes!!Right away Headmistress!!"the man bowed once before dashing out of the room.Leaving the woman alone.
She folded her arms and tried to get a hold of herself,then,remembering her daughter and those useless contests.

"You...when I get my hands on you.."Zhena muttered,turning around and swiftly kicking a wooden board on a stand into two,it had been placed there on purpose.

"Oh,snap!"the woman realised she had destroyed another wooden board,which was meant for the students to train.But Zhena easily blew it off.

"Maria!Get me more boards!"

OOc-
Rightness,who votes that Jena's mom's a little weird??
Seriously,she's not a loon!^^
She's just,temparemental and overreacts when she's angry.XD
 
OOC: *Shakes head* I was trying to go easy on you, but you leave me no choice Gregory...I hereby dub the...

?rjan! Hah! Bet you can't even pronounce it! XP

And Gwendolin...pwhee! Neat name! Maybe I should get a female avvie. XD Just kidding, Gwendolin (Bleh, that sounds like 'Mandolin') doesn't look right. Are you sure it ain't spelled Gwendolyn? Meh, anyhow, it's a sucky name...Alter, erm, that is; Samantha, no wait...Julia, no, I mean Gwendolin demands another name! Yes he does!

Well, I don't feel like foreshadowing at the moment myself...maybe after a while. We shall see...^^
 
OOC:

Whoa, another freaky moment! O_O

It just so happens that Gregory is the official name of my best friend (as in, we don't call him that but still..). Gosh, freaky times.

Ooh! Plushie wants to rename Gwendolyn!

*ahem* Plushie hereby dubs thee, Ashley.


IC:



Kayley found herself not being able to speak at all the compliments and applause. After all, she had never really had an audience other than her mother and her Pokemon, so this all made her continue blushing sheepishly while she continued to manage a smile.

"Wow.. Th-Thanks, it was my pleasure." She said, forcing herself to words. "If you really want to know, my Mum taught me how to play. She used to teach Band, actually, and she wanted to teach me.." Kayley concluded, stopping there to bend down again so she could proceed putting the trumpet away, taking the time to polish it a bit with a little cloth from within the case, before closing the case itself and snapping the latches shut.

Once that was done, she stood back up, but decided to leave the case on the ground in order to give her arm a break, mostly because the deck looked clean enough. She wouldn't have put it there in the first place if it were otherwise.

{Razz is unlucky. And so is Ashura. They missed out.} Fishy exclaimed, grinning (again) while he wagged his tail fin.
