IC:


Kayley was about to respond to Maxie's question about Pokedexes, but was too entralled by the size of the crowd to utter a word. As the others disembarked, she took the time to snatch her case from its spot on the deck, then hurried off of the ship before the captain could complain, Fishy still on her shoulder.

And for a second, no words were exchanged between Trainer and Mudkip -- they were both too busy trying to find a way towards the terminal that Rai had yelled to them about.

Failing to notice the dominoes that Zach had made of several people, Kayley forced her way towards the terminal that was slightly visible, which was because her height allowed her to see over most people. Once she held her case out in front of her, people swerved out of the way faster, making a slightly clearer path as she moved towards the structure.

Fishy remained silent the whole time, his eyes getting that glazed over look once more.

And finally, a few minutes later, the girl had forced her way towards a clear space in the terminal, so that she could rest her eyes on the path to the woods. A faded sign near the terminal's exit read "Route 203 -- To Azure Town".

Everyone seemed to be ignoring the sign.. It must've been so old, that the Route had already become common knowledge among people near this port.

But..

Something was off.

Near this very sign was a boy Trainer, who looked to be a little younger than Silver. His sweaty brown hair did no job of hiding the haunted expression on his face, which wasn't quite as bad as Rai's expression had been on the boat, but still enough to get people to back off. His gaze was firmly locked on the ground, and he seemed to be muttering complete and utter jibberish as he did so. The boy's Pidgey huddled quietly in his arms, looking a bit scarred as well.

Kayley felt the urge to investigate.

And so she did, making her way over to the other Trainer in several moments, her confusion building as she approached the guy. But even her quiet footsteps or silent manner in which she approached was not enough to keep him from noticing her when she was several meters away.

His head immediately snapped up, his sight locking on her within an instant.

She froze, Fishy still oblivious to his surroundings, and was unnerved the instant he began to speak.

"E-Excuse m-me, ma'am.." The boy uttered, choking on the words. "Y-Y-You wouldn't happen to b-be going near the w-w-woods today, w-w-would you?"

She hesitated slightly before responding. "Well, yeah, that's the only way to Azure Town, isn't it?"

The boy's eyes seemed to widen in pure horror. "P-Please don't go there!" He shouted, on the edge of losing control. "Th-There's a.. A Ghost.. There! I-It's evil! I-It wiped the floor with me!"

At this, Kayley raised her eyebrow. Surely he was exaggerating or something. Apparently he had been scared by a Ghost Pokemon, and he wasn't taking it too well. And the part about it wiping the floor with him.. Well, Pidgey weren't exactly the strongest things around, and he didn't seem to be carrying any other Pokemon around.

In a few moments, Kayley had come to the conclusion the whole thing was a misunderstanding. But she had to wait for the other anyways..

"Well, I'll stay put for now, I guess." Kayley replied, steadily backing away from the boy.
 
OOC: And I got...40. Dang, your quizes are diabolical plushie, yes they are. Anyhow, Swedish class was canceled today so I only had one and a half hours of Physics Lab! W00T! XD XD XD

And since no-one ish on at the moment, I shall take this opportunity to do a little foreshadowy-thingie too.

IC:

"Oh, there you are, Maxie." Rai said, swivelling around as he spotted the girl heading towards them. "And there's Jena too." he added, noticing that the girl was heading in their direction and raising a hand for her to make it easier to spot them, not that it was that difficult considering the sheer amount empty space that the crowd very wisely left for Ashura. "Okay, good, that just leaves Silver and Kayley." he cast a glance about the crowd, trying to find the remaining two members of their little group. Ashura however, was looking at something quite different, namely Maxie, who was clearly approaching with the intent of getting something from her. Well, she would just have to be dissapointed, the Scyther concluded in her mind, she would certainly not divulge any information to one so suspicious, especially not information of her trainer. No, she would not commit the same mistake twice, she would not loose her charge again. Ever.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, somewhere within the depths of Azure forest, a small tuft of curled, red furr peaked up from within a small bush, followed, after a short pause, by the rest of its owner's head, the pair of anxious, light brown eyes peering at their surroundings, their owner ready to dart at the first sign of danger. Spotting nothing alarming, the creature slowly took a few steps forward, turning its eyes to a nearby tree, its branches carrying several berries that bore a striking resemblance to strawberries, except for the fact that they were light blue instead of red, Rawst berries. The Vulpix's mouth watered at the sight, he had been too busy hiding from and being scared of the ghosts that he knew were all around the forest to even think about food. In his mind, he had many times repeated an old saying that was supposed to give courage in times like this; Sticks and stones may break my bones...well, he had always been far too concerned with the sticks and stones to pay attention to the rest of the saying, so it really wasn't very encouraging, in fact, it was rather the opposite. But could ghosts carry about sticks and stones? After all, they had no hands. The Vulpix shrugged, casting another hungry look at the berries growing in the middle of the clearing, he would just have to risk it, sticks or no.

The fire type took a few steps backwards, so as to gather speed before going out in the open, then he shut his eyes, gathered his courage and dashed, darting forward in a Quick Attack and quickly lunging at the tree, landing between the branches and leaves and causing the whole plant to rustle with a painfull amount of noise.

Having managed to pull himself up on one of the branches, the Vulpix lay quiet again, waiting for the last of the sounds to die down before he slowly began making his way towards the closest berry, plucking it into his mouth with a delighted squeal and hungrily chewing it down, savouring the bitter taste. It was a strange thing, but the Vulpix had always had an appetite for bitter things.

As he chewed down on his meal, the Vulpix cast another hopefull glance at the route snaking its way through the forest, not too far from his current location, but as usual, he didn't spot the one thing he had hoped for. Dissapointed, the fire type heaved a small sigh, curling up in the tree to take a nap. He really didn't feel like trying his luck by charging back into the shrubbery after all. As he tried to make himself comfortable on the branch, the Vulpix's thoughts drifted back to his master. Why had he left him here? When would he be coming back? It had been almost three days now, surely it couldn't take much longer? Certainly, the master knew that he didn't like this place? The little Vulpix had been scared of the woods ever since the very first time he had been brought here along with the others to train.

With these thoughts in mind, the fire type slowly drifted of into an uneasy slumber, dreams of his master's return slowly filling his mind.

"Hey?"Jena spotted Kayley not too far from her,head sticking out.The girl gestured Rai,Zach and Maxie to follow,before running after Kayley.
When she finally managed to find the girl,she was talking to a boy with a rather damaged Pidgey in his arms.

"What happened??"the girl looked around to see whether the others were following her.Then back to the boy and his Pidgey.

"Here,a Super Potion might do the trick."she stated,taking out a potion from her bag and holding it out to the boy.
Closer,he seemed rather frightened.

"P-Please don't go there!"
"Th-There's a.. A Ghost.. There! I-It's evil! I-It wiped the floor with me!"

As he shouted,it made Jena leap back in surprised for a moment.The boy looked shaken,very shaken indeed.

"Okay,don't worry now.Its all over."she gripped the boy's shoulder with encouragement.

"Just give this to your Pidgey,and he'll feel better.I promise!"the girl smiled,once again,holding the Super Potion out.

----

{Look!Mami!Papi!I see humans!!}a Tailow perched herself on the branch of one of the highest trees at the edge of the forest.Looking with great interest at the sights and sounds below.Two bigger Tailows landed on either side of her,looking to see what the fuss was all about.

{Look!Pokemon and zeir' trainers!May I go zere'?Please!!}the Tailow pleaded her parents in her usual French Accent.

{Dahling,countless times,we've told you,you can't go near the humans!}the mother reminded her in a dignified tone.

{Your mother is right ma' cupcake,we can't go down zere' the humans,zhey'll catch us and fry us and serve us in zose' resstaurants!}the other Tailow chirped in agreement.

{Rememba' what the kind Gastly's have told us time and again?Never mix with humans!}the mother added on.

{Hazy doesn't think so.}she muttered,remembering the ,mentioned Gastly,standing high above the rest,she was really special.Probably the only one in the forest who dared to mix with humans.
The Tailow would've done the same thing as well.If not for her parents.

She sighed in defeat,there was no way she could persuade her parents to let her go out of the forest.Then,she noticed two girls and a boy near the forest.So near infact,that maybe, just maybe she could even get close enough to see them clearly,talk to them even!

{Oooh!!I weesh to go down Mami,Papi!I'll see you later!!}the Tailow jumped off the branch and flew down at an amazing speed to the entrance of the forest.

The father sighed and glanced at his wife,she herself didn't look too happy about the current situation.
{Come on ma' dearie,let's get zown' zere' before she gets er'self into trouble.}he and the mother flew down after their daughter.

Woohoo! Bombing quizzes ish fuuuuun!!!!

And Alter, you have to wait for the secret of Fishy now cuz ya failed! MWAHAHA!!!!



IC:



"N-N-No, it's okay.." The boy stammered as Jena drew near, trying to offer him a Super Potion for his Pidgey.

"I-I can t-take care of him, y-y-you guys h-have to w-w-watch out for y-your Pokemon i-if you g-go anywhere near the w-woods." He said quietly, turning away from both Kayley and Jena, huddling in place as he cringed, remembering that the woods were practically right there.

Kayley was about to say something else, when suddenly, a Taillow flew down towards them, followed by two more, probably its parents.

Huh? Was all Kayley could think as she backed away in preparation to let Razz out or something, just in case.
 
OOC: Yayness! I suck! ^___________^

Yeah seriously though, I think Alter's lying to us about the brother question. I think he did stomp his foot until poor Arty gave in.

And Yibber, I had NO idea where you lived. So I randomly picked Alaska! XD

Now HERE! Take my second quiz so that I can get you all back for what you've done to me!! >___<


Zachary
=============

"W-wait... g-ghosts?" Zachary stammered, suddenly feeling himself get a bit sweatier. "There's not really ghosts in there... are there?" he asked.

Ron smiled to himself, {Zachary doesn't like ghosts. He thinks he saw one when he was younger.}

Without understanding the exact words, Zachary knew what his metallic pokemon was talking about. "I did Ron! It was real! I don't care what anyone says-- ghosts are real and they're dangerous! One time when I was little I woke up to see this woman standing over me... she whispered something that I didn't hear and then my Mom came in my room and she vanished!" Zachary said, staring hard at his pokemon.

Ron shrugged. {Just a dream.}

"Whatever... I still believe it was a real ghost," Zachary pouted, not liking this ghost forest one bit. He was even too scared to notice the Taillow that had flown down.

Luka returned to their sides. This made Ron suspicious.

{Where've you been?} he asked the pokemon.

{Nowhere of your concern,} she snapped back. Ron decided not to pursue it any further.

OOC: BTW... on several of our quizzes... who's MWAHAHAHA evilness? XD A sugar-crazed Voldemort?

OOC: Ehh...I scored 70% on your second quiz Melissa. That enough vengeance for you? XD And nope, I wasn't vain enough to pick a certain option in the last question. ^^

And for meh own second quiz...I have yet to see any of you cross the magical 50% boundary. *Wags finger dissaprovingly* As my dear Physics teacher so appropriately put it when almost the whole class failed on the beginning-of-term test; Your results are crap. But don't worry! I like you guys anyway! ^^

IC:

Rai walked over to Kayley and Jena just as the boy with the Pidgey dissapeared, giving them his last warning concerning the forest. At Zachary's comment, Rai walked over to the boy, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, Zach." he said, "It's six of us, not counting our pok?mon, against one ghost. And it can't be too strong because it let that boy escape. All grown ghost pok?mon know how to block escaping, I think the one over in the forest is still young, and probably prefers scaring people than attacking directly. We'll be fine."

{Of course we will.} Ashura said, scoffing at the fear of the Pidgey trainer, and perhaps a bit at Zachary's as well. Why did the master bother travelling with someone like that? In the Scyther's experience, cowards made for poor and fickle allies indeed, some of them even turning traitor when it looked like the enemy was stronger. This boy could obviously not be trusted any more than Maxie.

"Oh, I don't think you two have been introduced, by the way." Rai added, "Zach, this is Ashura. Ashura, this is Zachary, Zach for short, he's one of our new friends. And these are his pok?mon, Ron and Luka." he gestured towards the Aron and the Zigzagoon.

{It's a pleasure, I'm sure.} the mantis pok?mon said dispassionately, quickly scanning the boy and his pok?mon from head to toe and nodding briefly in acknowledgement of each of them.

As the small Tailow and two somewhat larger ones, probably family members, swooped down towards the group, Ashura took a step back, poising to strike at a moment's notice just in case the bird pok?mon didn't come with friendly intent.

Rai turned to face the newcomers as well, although his expression was one of curiosity rather than caution.
 
{ooc| JUst got back from the kennels. I've been there for over two and a half hours now, walking dogs, feeding them, and trying to console some lonely souls. It's hard work, but rewarding. My employer says I have a way with dogs and wants me to stay on full-time, not just thursdays... but then I would spend less time with MY dog ;; Decisions decisions! I might post later... *brain hurts*}
 
OOC: Hmm...that's quite a decision indeed. Well, hope your brain stops hurting soon.

And by the way, you people all seem to have confused the first RP I posted an IC in and the first RP I signed up for. Oh, and the actual time difference between the two is apporximately five minutes. XD
 
Coming to a halt beside the group, Maxie couldn't help overhearing their worries. She smiled confidently.
"You guys are forgetting; we have Fang. Bats see things through sonar, so darkness or mist won't be a obstacle. He can even see things that are invisible. We won't be snuck up on - Fang'll see whatever it is before it gets too close, whether it's of this world or not." she told them all, a hint of pride in her voice.

She heard wingbeats behind her, and turned to see a taillow. She cocked her head. "What do you want?" she said, resisting the urge to shoo the flying type away. Maxie was more than used to finicy rookie pokemon poking around for scraps. Common breeds like taillows - and zigzagoons, when she thought about it- were caught when the trainers were newbies, only to be released once he or she gained some self-respect and started to look to bigger things. She had met many half-trained pokemon; some of which remained desperate for another chance to be the best, others which despised trainers and their allies. In the busy cities Maxie had worked in, she had met more than enough to grow cold towards them.
 
OOC: Darn you Alter!!! How dare you score so high?! You're too smart for me.... ;_; And I should say that was rather sneaky of you with that RP question... I was so proud thinking I was in the know and I wasn't...!

Quick! Azul! Squirt him in the face with Water Pulse!!

"Zuuu!" *squirts* *has little effect*

Crap! I forgot... your nature's adamant... foiled by my own stupid moveset!! GAH!! XD

Anyway...


Zachary
===========

"Oh... hello," Zachary said in a more cheerful voice to the great pokemon before him, "Nice to meet'cha. Sorry I'm not at my best this moment." He smiled nervously, his mind still on the ghost. He didn't care if there was six or twenty of them; he got the creeps from those things.

Ron didn't like the way Ashura was looking them over; he wasn't too fond of people who based a person on the first five seconds they met them. And to him it looked like this Scyther was one of those types. But he would give the pokemon the benefit of the doubt, after all, Zack was different when Ron had first met him... so maybe Ashura was too.

{Hi there! Nice to know we have some larger pokemon in our group!} the Aron said, hoping that comment came out right. It was a bit difficult to know what to say.

Luka was about as unimpressed with Ashura as Ashura was of them all. She continued looking at the pokemon with her miserable expression and managed to say, {It may be a pleasure to you but I find this whole 'introducing' thing annoying. Just because your stupid human wants to show you off doesn't mean I have to pretend to be happy about it. And vise-versa.}

Ron's eyes widened. Idiot! You don't just start calling a large and powerful pokemon's beloved trainer 'stupid'! She was asking for something... and Ron wasn't going to stick up for her either. That was just plain rude and untrue.

OOC: Luka's a stinker, ain't she? ^-^ Kinda like Maxie, but she never says sorry.
 
OOC: *Ish squirted* Aaack! Venusaur! Protect my honour!

*Venusaur walks up then lolls there apathically for a while and goes to sleep*

Gah! Stupid Lax nature...*Grumbles*<_<

And yeah, I made that last question sneaky on purpose because...well, it's a last question. XD

IC:

Ashura nodded at Ron's comment, not really feeling like she wanted to say anything in response. At least the little steel type had the right idea, protection, fending of foes, that was her domain, all that flimsy social nonsense and clearing up, that was what Rai was there for. Granted, she considered the boy foolish and naive at the best of times, but he was still one of the precious few she trusted and respected, so when the insolent, scruffy little raccoon who smelled of street trash and acted accordingly slandered her trainer, the Scyther's reaction would certainly be far from positive.

{Is that so?} the mantis pok?mon asked, her voice dangerously silky. For a moment, she remained completely motionless, simply observing the Zigzagoon, before her right, bladed arm sprang into action, slicing through the air in one, fluid arch aimed straight for Luka's neck. Before Chupon could do little more than spot this and gasp the movement had already come to an end, the Scyther's blade back in its original position as if it had never moved, a handfull of tanned and brown fur lying in a sad pile right beneath the Zigzagoon's head the only evidence of the attack ever having taken place. Ashura had turned her swing barely an inch away from touching Luka's neck, the fur there now reduced to short stubs, a well-honed False Swipe.

{Let's get one thing straight then, you arrogant little puddleshark.} Ashura hissed, throwing the Zigzagoon a dangerous glare {I do not enjoy your presence any more than you enjoy mine, but I am tolerating it for Raistlin's sake, so if there is any sense in that little trashdigger's mind of yours then you will not insult him again, or do anything else to displease him, in my presence. This is your one and only warning. You would do well to heed it.}

With that, the Scyther turned her attention back to the Tailows which Rai had been observing for the whole time, completely oblivious to the mantis pok?mon's actions.
 
OOC: Fwee! XD Looks like I'm in the clear with your lax Venusaur! *dances*

Heh... and I've been waiting for a chance to anger Ashura. ^-^ It's fun! Though... it's more like annoy. I shudder to think what she can do when truly angered. *shudders*


Zachary
===========

When Ashura had made the swipe against Luka's neck, it was the first moment since being in this oddly matched group in which she had felt absolutely terrified. Luka was a pokemon that was all bark and no bite. She merely pretended to be bold and important; when in reality she was a lonely, frightened pokemon that feared being controlled by humans.

She froze as Ashura began to supplement her actions with a warning, and Luka listened without protest. She was frightened and outraged; but her big mouth was not opening this time. She wasn't that stupid.

After Ashura turned away, Luka felt her eyes become a bit watery. 'No!' she thought to herself in anger, 'I can't lose it now! To cry and show such vulnerability in front of that ridiculous Ashura... or even Ron....'

Ron had turned around too; he was so embarrassed by the normal type that he couldn't even look at her. He did not want to be associated with that behavior.

Luka felt like running off again... but suddenly she felt something patting her on the head. She looked up to see Zachary's face and felt even worse. Of all the people to realize her hurt... him?!

"You just got yourself in a load of trouble Luka," the boy said to her in a low voice, though it wasn't angry or embarrassed, and his fear of the ghost had seemingly vanished, "My advice would be to steer clear of Ashura for a while, hm?" He patted her a little more, and then went to look at the Taillow, figuring he had done enough.

Luka glared at him from behind. How dare he try to be nice?! And did he honestly think that his kind-hearted attitude would win her over?

As he observed the Taillow, Zachary found himself smiling a bit. Yep, he sure did; though he knew he still had a long way to go.
 
Kayley's mind, much like the others, had switched its attention from this 'ghost', and onto the Taillow that had flown down to them, especially since Maxie had told them that Fang would be able to sense any Ghosts beforehand. That was definitely a proven fact, Kayley had long ago read about the sharpened senses of Pokemon like Fang.

Now she had nothing better to do then observe the Taillow with interest.

Meanwhile, Fishy had been observing the scene between Ashura and Luka with complete interest, only barely noticing the Taillow. But once all was said and done, the Mudkip turned around to face the direction that Kayley was facing, which was towards the woods.

Neat trick.. He thought to himself, referring to Ashura's perfected False Swipe technique. Wish my fin could do that.



-----



Hazy had been observing the latest group of humans with interest. Ever since she had spotted the ferry from her spot at Route 203's entrance, she had anticipated the arrival of more potential Trainers.

In fact, all of the humans gathered there had Pokemon with them, and that could only mean that all of them were indeed Trainers. They had been stopped near the sign by the Pidgey-boy who had failed her test, and then they were further delayed by a Taillow that had decided to swoop down towards them.

That Taillow seemed familiar, though.

The Gastly shrugged the thought off and honed her gaze on the humans again. Every one of them looked like they could help her well.

She grinned to herself one last time before fading from view, waiting for the humans to make a move.
 
OOc-
Like,yayness!!
Today was Officially the last day of skool for Yibber,dudes!^^
6 week break,ah.

And,like,I gots 50 on Melissi's quizzy!

Mehehehe,I don't hate any pokemon.'Hate' ish sucha strong word,no?XD
I just get freaked out by Ludicolo and Spinda.>_<

And,like,how dare the majority of you say I have a short attention span??XD

Like,now there are twenty volumes,but I bought TWO no.20.XP
So,technically I have 21 manga books.^^


Randomly,I have decided to call the Wurmple,Orjen.Thank you,Ashley!!XD
Ic-
"What??"Jena mumbled as the boy and his Pidgey ran away.

"Okay,what was that all about?"she asked,taking a look at the dark,forbidding forest that lay infront of her.Then,noticing that everyone was looking at a family of Tailows.Actually,in seemed that the smallest Tailow,in the middle was the most interested.Eyes darting from her to the rest,to the pokemon,then to the bigger Tailows,probably her parents.

"Hi.."she whispered,walking up to the branch,lifting her right arm,wondering if the Tailow would consider her.Two of the Tailows flew up in surprise,leaving the smallest Tailow alone on the branch.

Cascade too,was staring at the Tailows,but when Ashura used her False Swipe attack,he quickly turned to Luka.

{Hey,you okay there?}he asked as Zachary finished talking to her.

{I'm sure Ashura didn't mean to....She's just a little cranky from getting out of her pokeball or something.}Ryne added.
----
{Mami!Papi!Look,zeir' staring at us!!}the Tailow cripped,flapping her wings with excitement.She looked at the pokemon,all of different shapes and sizes,it was wonderful!

{Dahling,we should really get away from here,there's no telling what those dreadful humans could do to us.}her mother said,using one wing to lightly tap the Tailow's rear.

{No,Mami!I want to see,zey' aren't going to hurt us!!I know zey' aren't!!}she said assuringly,but not enough as her parents backed away in fear.One human was walking towards them.

{Gah!!!Ma' ladies,let us,how you say??Scat!!!}her father and mother flew up into the tree.But the Tailow didn't,she stood there on the tree branch,tilting her head.Did the human want her to get on her arm?

{Why not?}she smiled,hopping off the branch and onto Jena's arm.
--

Jena turned around and let the rest what she had done.

"Look!A Tailow!"she pointed to the bird pokemon on her arm.Stroking the Tailow's head with one finger,the girl became deep in thought.Looking up to the Wurmple on her head.

"I know!I'll call you,Orjen!"she exclaimed,glad that a name had finally managed to pop into her mind.

{Oooh!Orjen,that shall be my name.That is,what I am called by,my name,I am Orjen!!!}the Wurmple squeaked happily,crawling off his trainer's head and onto the ground,staring at Luka,then Ashura.

{I've never seen you before.}he stated,continuing to stare at the Scyther.

"Anyone want to pet her??"Jena asked,holding her arm out.
--

{Look,what did I tell you?Now your daughter's down there mixing with humans!}the mother swiped her husband on the head.

{It's not my fault,we'll get 'er back.}he rubbed his head with one wing.

{I told you to teach her to fly higher,but did you?No...you choose to say that she'll learn in her own time!}she snapped.

{Tha's the truth!We can't rush 'er can we?}

{I'm not rushing her!Not at all!All this silly hullabaloo on traveling,so that she could fly higher was all your fault for not being able to teach her!}

{Well,if you think it's SO easy,why don't you teach 'er??}

The two squabbled so loudly,that the whole forest might have been able to hear them.
Jena raised an eyebrow.

"Your parents?"she asked.

The Tailow sweatdropped and nodded.

Ooc-
Yeah,she can fly,but only to a certain height.I THINK she's only able to fly as high as the huge tree,after that her fear of heights gets her.XD
 
OOC: 6 week break? Luck you...

Not that I can complain, seeing as how I had no school today because English class got canceled! XD

And a Tailow with a fear of heights? Lolz, that kind of reminds me of my RP Charizard Flammie. ^^ Not in the sense that Flammie would be afraid of flying, but because both of them have fears that they, according to common sense, shouldn't have. The Tailow ish afraid of flying and Flammie...well, he's afraid of hurting people, and feels terribly guilty if he does something like than by accident, kind of odd for a Charizard, but he was fun to RP. XD

IC:

{Zach is right.} Chupon said seriously, looking at Luka {You gots to be real careful around Ashu. Never insultings Rai in front of her. She's very touchy about that.} he looked at the pile of furr {Maybe we coulds glue that back on so you don't get cold?}

Ashura acted as if she hadn't noticed any of the comments concerning her little move, even though she had certainly noted all of them. Some, like Chupon and Cascade, seemed shocked, some, like Ryne, were in denial, trying to explain it away, but she just wasn't interested. In all honesty, the Scyther didn't care what others thought of her methods as long as they suited her own code of honour, which a fair strike from the front abided quite well. That insolent ragamuffin needed to be put into her place and that was what she had done. The little creature had been mortally terrified, a bit redundant perhaps but who cared? Her point had gone through and the rest didn't matter...or did it? The mantis pok?mon scoffed in irritation at her own thoughts. Was she beginning to pick up on the boy's foolishly trusting manner? His naivit?? No, she wouldn't stand that.

Rai watched the little Tailow's actions with fascination, the flying type didn't seem the least bit shy of humans and was more than happy to jump onto Jena's hand when the girl approached. As she asked them if anyone wanted to pet the Tailow, Rai was suddenly struck by a small flashback once more. The memory of a hauntingly similar situation...years ago. But it was another Tailow...and another girl...

"No, thank you." the boy replied, smiling apologetically "I'm fine just watching."

Ashura looked up at Orjan's comment, finally noticing the little Wurmple. {How very perceptive of you.} she said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice {Orjen, was it? I trust you overheard me being introudced?}

As she spoke, the Scyther was still keeping a watchfull eye on the events around her, including the Tailow, but didn't see the need to interfere at the moment.

Ryne's in denial???o.O
Even I didn't know that.XD

And,the Wurmple's name be OrjEn dude,Orjan ish my..6th name,and I'd like to keep it at that!^^

Ic-
Jena looked at Rai,was he thinking of something?Eh,what did it matter,she didn't want to force him to pet the Tailow.
Though,it wasn't everyday that a wild Tailow would come up to a bunch of humans and let itself be pet now,would it?

{'Ello,you 'ave veery nice trainers!Zeir' veery friendly!}the Tailow chirped,noticing that the human's pokemon were rather quiet,except for maybe one or two.She then noticed that the Scyther was looking at her.

{Yes?May I 'elp you?Is it sometheeng on my feathers?}she turned her small body to face Ashura.

{Yes,glad to meet you Ashura.}Orjen nodded,smiling,not wanting to bring up what she had done to Luka,anyway,this was one different topic altogether.Then,taking another look at the Tailow.

"So...are we going into the forest,or not?"Jena asked.
 
OOC:

...I wish I had a 6-week break. XD


IC:



I.. can't wait any longer.. Now I must go..!

Kayley had been watching the recent events with the Taillow with interest, shaking her head slightly when Jena asked if anyone wanted to pet the Taillow, which was surprising since it was obviously a wild Pokemon.

"Well, of course we have to go through the forest, ghost or no ghost. How else will we get to Azure Town?" She said, in response to Jena's last question.

That was all she could say before suddenly..

{GRAAAAAAAAH!!!!} Kayley's face paled in horror as an enlarged Gastly, spiritual flames flaring over her head tenfold, bared its fangs in a nasty grin, advancing on Kayley in a slow, yet terrifying manner.

But, just as suddenly, a Water Gun came out of no-where, surging straight into the Gastly, causing the illusion to fade, and the normal-sized Gastly to be revealed, which was quickly sent tumbling because of the Water Gun's force.

The owner of the Water Gun, Fishy, eyes narrowed in anger, was still perched on Kayley's shoulder.

{That's it!} Fishy shouted as the Gastly stopped tumbling. {I'm tired of other people doing random things, when it is my job to do so! And that was the most random thing all day! Stop doing my job, people!} He hissed.

"W-Whoa.. Thanks Fishy.." Kayley muttered.

Meanwhile, Hazy had been floating in the place she had ended up in, mouth hanging open in shock. ..Could it be?

She didn't ponder any further, deciding that the Mudkip had now locked itself in combat, and she was going to accept that challenge.

{Finally! I have a challenge!} Hazy shouted, eyes seeming to sparkle. She waited until the Mudkip decided to hop off of Kayley's shoulder by the Trainer's command, before the Gastly continued her assault.
 
OOC: Aw, the poor Taillow, Melissa's afraid of heights as well. I can't even walk up to the second story of the library without a feeling of fear creeping up my spine. >_<


Zachary
===========

Just as he was about to walk up to Jena and offer to pet the Taillow, Hazy had appread in front of Kayley. Of course, this happened to be in the vicinty of Zachary's vision, and he leapt back from his step forward, falling to the ground in a slight panic.

"It's- It's- a g- g- ghost!!" he yelled, pointing at the pokemon, whose spiritual flames almost seemed to laugh at his comment.

Ron shook his head, {It's just a little Ghastly Zack....}

"I- I don't like ghosts!! And I don't care if it's a pokemon!" the boy yelled back, still on the ground, pushing himself further away into the brush underneath the trees near them. Kayley wasn't considering catching that thing... was she? Though she and Fishy had certainly accepted the challenge.

Luka hadn't answered anyone's comments to her. She was still too proud to do anything of the sort. Instead she just took a savage pleasure in watching Zachary freak out.

OOC: Ahh! The shortness burns... XD
