Showgan -- Standing On Edge (Invitational)

Not open for further replies.
"Err.. I'm okay.." Silver answered feeling her heart pound faster and faster.. "Should I apologize now??" she asked herself.. She took a deep breath and said softly.. "Uhhh.. Zachary.." She then paused for a moment..

{Say it.. faster say it..} Miurka hissed as he nudged Silver..

"Uh.. Zachary.. I'm like.. uh.. sor....ry for laughing at you.. Bout the ghost and all.. Will you forgive me?? I'm really.." she felt her heart racing really fast as she tried to make the last word come out in a complete piece.. "Sorry.." she finished up her sentence and turned away.. She had to hide those blushes somehow..

{Wow!! She actually said it..} Yukari exclaimed..
 
OOC: Oh my God... I'm acually on when Flissie is! XD Well then...


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

Zachary blinked. She was apologizing to him?! She certainly was nervous, it must be hard for her to admit that she's sorry to people. Yes, that was probably it.

"Oh... uh that's funny! I was just about to apologize to you!" he managed to say, smiling about the situation, "Don't feel bad about it. I shouldn't have overreacted. I... I wasn't... feeling like myself." He paused for a moment, the lingering doubt in the back of his mind surfacing again. He still didn't understand why he had felt so angry right then.

Luka found herself smiling at them. {Yessir, clueless.}

Ron stepped forward and went over to Zachary, {Hey... what do you mean, 'not yourself'? You never mentioned that to me.}

However, Zachary didn't hear him and was still thinking to himself. "Anyway, um, friends again, right?" he said, putting his smile back on. He had to stop thinking of that strangeness; he was a teenager, teens do weird things all the time.
 
OCC: OMG.. I didn't expect that.. HIYA!! XD

IC:

She turned back to look at Zachary. "You really was about to apologize to me?? Well.. you don't have to.. It's my fault.. You don't have to apologize.. Really.."

{She's really not being herself..} Yukari mumbled..

{Yea.. she would normally be demanding an apology from someone..} Miruka added..

"Err.. well.. like you said.. Friends again.." she smiled sweetly and said.. "Uhh.. well.." She thought for a moment and added.. "Never mind.."

OCC: Did Zachary apologize?? -_-
 
OOC: Hm... you're right! Well then...


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

{You never actually apologized smart guy,} Ron said with a sideways glance at his trainer.

Zachary blushed. "Ah! Gee... thanks for being so sensitive Ron. Again," he said hurriedly to his pokemon, and then looked back at Silver, "As Ron's so rudely informed me, I completely forgot to apologize. So, I'm sorry for being so irrational Silver. I'm usually quite happy and easy-going."

{And stupid when he's around girls...,} Ron said darkly.

Ignoring Ron's comments again, Zachary just continued to smile. Luka looked over to Yukari and Miruka.

{Of course she's not the same,} Luka said with a smirk, {That's what people do when they've got a crush on someone.}

Ron's eyes grew, {WHA?!}
 
OCC: How did Luka know??!!

IC:

{Luka!! Don't sprout nonsense.. Silver don't like that clumsy freaky trainer of yours.. She doesn't have such a .. poor taste..} Yukari defended..

Miruka was taken back as Yukari tried to deny the fact that Silver is crushing on Zachary..

Silver looked at Zachary once again.. "Well.. It's okay.. You don't have to apologize.." She took a deep breath and said.. "Well.. I know that you're a happy and easy-going person.. You don't have to tell me that.." she blushed slightly and looked away before Zachary could notice that she was blushing..
 
OOC: She doesn't. I shouldn't have left it that way. My apologies. XD


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

Ron clutched at his stomach, {Ugh... you scared me Luka! Don't blurt things out like that!}

{Oh. My bad then,} Luka said, feeling a bit confused. She was sure that Silver had seemed a bit anxious about something. It was pretty obvious that something was bothering the girl. {Well then...,} the Zigzagoon said suspiciously, {Why's she all nervous like that?}

{Cut it out Luka! Quit saying things that don't make any sense! You're embarrassing me...,} Ron said, not wanting to have to deal with the annoying normal-type's strange ideas.

Luka puffed out her cheeks in anger, and then turned around to watch the rest of what was going on with Valen and the others. She knew when she wasn't wanted. It didn't matter anyway... she would leave soon, when she got her chance... she would leave these idiots.

"Well then, that's that," Zachary said to Silver, "Anyway, let's see what's going on with the others. And what that Valen guy's doing with that machine thing.... I'm sure it's nothing good."

{Sorry about her,} Ron said to Yukari and Miruka, {She's cranky.}
 
OCC: It's okay.. Don't have ta' apologize..

IC:

"Um.. well.. okay.." Silver said walking back to the arena..

{She just being nervous cause she never apologized much in her whole life.. I mean knowing her.. she wouldn't really feel comfortable apologizing...} Yukari argued... {Maybe you all don't know her well.. But at least I do.. I watched her grow up..} he continued..

{Yukari.. what happened to you??} Miruka asked..

{What's wrong with me??} the Swablu asked feeling surprised..

{Well.. you're defending Silver.. and talking bout watching her grow up and..} Miruka added..

{I did??} Yukari asked thinking hard to remember what he said..
 
OOc-
Like,yeah!
Franticshipping pwnz all!!(other than Feebas...yay,Feebas!^0^)

But,since Luka's a girl,ain't she supposed to be able to see that Silver likes Zachary,eh,like,it ain't tha hard to see she has a Feebas for the boy.>_>
I don't see why the Zigzagoon can't know that Silver has a crush on Zachary,as long as she keeps to herself and doesn't say anything about it.

Ic-

Jena jumped back again as Nigina lunged for..her own trainer?!The girl closed her eyes,as did the Tailow on her left shoulder,too scared to watch when both collided.

But,no sound of a boy screaming in pain could be heard,only the smashing,and maybe,breaking of an object.

She opened one eye,and saw that Valen was unharmed,though she couldn't say the same thing about the..metal thingy on his left arm.Jena didn't noticed that the boy had that under those sleeves,he must have concealed it from them.By the looks of it,it wasn't a toy for young peeps to the playing with,yet,the girl had never seen a thing like that in her life.Probably because it was such a new-fangled device,that none of her master or senseis had bothered to teach her,or even tell her about it.

"What is that thing?"she asked,wondering if the bits of metal were going to explode anytime soon.

{Oooh,poor Valen,yes?}Cascade felt rather sorry for the boy,having just been assualted by his own pokemon.

{I think otherwirse,the boy didn't treat his Seviper properly and this is how it ends.}Ryne folded her arms and snorted,not even one part of her felt sorry for him.
 
OOC:

Phwee, today was a good day! ^o^

I doodled a Sableye today, but it's not that important so ya guys need not be tormented. =3

And otherwise, Titan was right about the concept of me last doodle.

The bottom right corner thing is a Misdreavus that's all puffed up and scawy. XD

Could be Mystery, but I haven't decided yet. XD

Anyways.. Me Mum said something funny in the traffic today..




"Where is she, you say? She's in the dust.

No wait, let me clarify, she's in my dust."




IC:




Kayley had stopped shaking by now, although she was taking deep breaths and fear was still evident in her eyes. She didn't even hear what everyone else was saying to her, whether it be a compliment for quick-thinking or a cry of worry. Her trumpet case had been suspended in the air where it had ended it's swing, and she only brought it down again when she realized that Nigina was still on her feet, if a little dazed. Kayley began fidgeting as if she were preparing to strike again should the Seviper come at her again..

But didn't get the chance, because once Valen told the Seviper to forget about her, Nigina lashed out in an attack, striking the boy's arm..

And effectively crushing a weird metal device that he had been wearing the whole time.

While Kayley stared silently at the heap of metal, hugging the trumpet case close to her, Fishy recovered from his awkward fall and leaped to his feet, having witnessed the whole thing from a worm's-eye view, jaw hanging in shock when he realized that Kayley had utitilized her trumpet again.

{Kay-Kay.. I..} Whatever the Mudkip had in mind, he didn't voice because he too was now laying eyes on the obliterated Snag Machine, tilting his head as he became absorbed in this object that he'd never seen before.

{Dang.. I'll never backsass again.} Razz remarked, glancing at Kayley before turning towards the broken metal object like mostly everyone was doing.
 
OOc-
*realises what Titan said and stares at herring*

Dude,I sense fear.>D
Yessh,he's implusive and tha's why I love him!!Feebas,one of his qualities that make him hawt and lovable.^^

And like,what your mother said Plushie.....XD

I was scanning some piccehs for a club,and I just felt like showing this.
Ever saw a Togepi play Poker?

^Gold's Togepi.^^

Chappie 186 at the end


Ic-
"So?What is that thing?"Jena repeated her question once more,hoping to get an answer from the rest.The Wurmple on her shoulder proceeded to climb down in a slow motion,rather shaken by the events.And the worse thing was that snag device gave him memories,bad memories.The bug type curled himself up on the ground,suddenly feeling rather empty inside.

{Hey,Orjen,you okay,yes??}Cascade noticed the Wurmple curled up beside him.

{No,I am most definately not,absoulutely not,okay or fine!}he grunted,turning away from the Mudkip.Cascade looked to Ryne,who merely shrugged back in confusion.Was this the same Wurmple who had breakfast with them in the morning?

Chappie 186 (Vs Breloom)

Ruby @ Petalburg
Sapphire @ Route 102
---

Wally was surprised that Ruby was the son of a gym leader.The boy merely placed a finger over his fingers and asked him to keep his voice down.Wally asked why he had to hide from his own father,but Ruby replied saying that it was a long story.

The green-haired boy decided to meet Norman anyway,since he had asked the gym leader out in the first place.Before he could come out however,a wild Breloom hopped out of the forest and charged towards Norman.The grass pokemon started with a Mach Punch,but the gym leader's Vigroth was faster,taking the Breloom down with a Focus Punch.

He grinned at the fainted Breloom,even though the pokemon was known for its light footwork and powerful punches,one accurate Focus Punch from his Vigroth was more than enough to beat it.Norman called out to Wally,wondering why he was hiding but said it was best for the boy to come out before other wild pokemon came out.Wally immediately bolted up from his spot beneath the bushes.He quickly apoligised to the man,stating that he wasn't feeling well,still he was glad that Norman had come,asking the gym leader to teach him how to catch pokemon.
Norman closed his eyes and gave a stern 'no'.Wally gapped his mouth open,and Ruby from his spot in the bushes could hear the conversation clearly,did the same.

When Wally came to him for help,he did not mention about his illness.The Normal type trainer had a talk with the boy's parents.He was seriously ill and would be moving to a faraway place to recuparate the following day.As Wally's face turned into disheartened expression,but Norman didn't stop.He told the boy that even healthy people could get hurt from wild pokemon,that pokemon were more dangerous that one would imagine,take the battle he had with the Breloom earlier for instance.

Norman-To someone who has never captured a pokemon before...I can't ensure your safety.That's my reason.

As Norman started walking away as Ruby let a a disgusted sigh.The man stopped in his tracks,realising that there was another person around.The coordinator yelped,quickly hurrying to find a hiding place as the gym leader released his Slaking.

The gorilla let out a deafening growl,causing bushes near to smash up.Ruby's father then walked down the path which had been cleared of greenery,caused made by the Swagger attack.Saying that it was no use to hide,with Swagger,one would be too confused to hide.

After a while,without spotting anything,Norman dropped the matter,taking that it must've been a wild pokemon,turning around to leave.

----

Ruby let out a sigh of relief,his father was just a few steps away from finding him.He was lucky that his Skitty knew Safeguard which countered the Slaking's attack.It was far too close for comfort,with Coco on his head,the boy climbed back up to make his way out.He let out a gasp in shock to find a fainted Wally on the ground.

--
That night,at Wally's house in Petalburg.(Cool house there.XD)The parents of the sickly lad thank Ruby for bringing him back and explained that since he was young,Wally had always been prone to falling sick as he had a weak and frail body.
They then invite Ruby to stay for the night,who forced a smile and accepted half-heartedly.As soon as both mother and father closed the door of Wally's room,Ruby started to think of a way to get out of the house as fast as possible.

Wally slowly woke up and apologised to Ruby for causing him so much inconvineance.The green haired boy knew that his parents must've told Norman not to teach him,not to allow him to cature pokemon by himself.

Wally-But..that means I've to move to a new place..Without any memories of this place at all...

Ruby amazingly,fell silent,as if thinking over the boy's words(Main reason I put this picceh,so you can see how poor Wally ish.They stuck the needle thingy in his arm for Feebas' sake..T_T).He realised,that both he and the boy in bed suffered from the same family pressure when it came to the topic of discussing what they wanted to do with their lives.He walked over and opened the room's window,saying that the main reason why he had run away from home was because his father told him to stop the coordinating nonsense and train for pokemon battles alongside him.

Ruby-But parents worry too much.They start to worry when you start something new!

Lets go,Wally!To the place where we met this afternoon!

The boy held out Ruru's pokeball,telling the frail lad that they would go and catch a pokemon to show the parents.(Hah!I*piffle*impulsive,my Feebas.Dude,he looks hawt in this picceh.XD)And that he'd lend Wally his Ralts just for that night.
Wally quickly lightened up,nodding in agreement.

Ruby-
Err...just don't dirty it,'kay??

--
Not much in this chappie.
Just,talk talk talk talk.^^
I can't believe Norman couldn't spot Ruby.X3
And,like,Wally's such a poor dude.-_-

OOC: Ah, Luka does have a hint of how Silver feels, but she wasn't 100% sure, so when Yukari and Miruka told her no, she believed 'em. She'll figure it out though. After all, Silver's only liked Zachary in front of her for like 10 minutes. ^-^;


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

Ron frowned at Luka as he left Yukari and Miruka's sides. What was she thinking blurting out something like that. Girls were so strange.

Zachary looked at Valen, who was, after all, the cause of this whole thing. And now this machine had fallen off of his arm. Zachary didn't think about it that much though, he had no idea of the true purpose of it, and Ron hadn't relayed Luka's message to him.

"So... is the battle still on? Maxie? Valen?" he said in confused voice. What was the big deal? Did the guy steal the thing or what?
 
OOC: Dang tired...been working on schoolwork again (stabbs lit. analysis), that and I've been sleepy. -___-

Should write up at least one IC for this though...before I go to sleep...*Yawns* mmm...sleep...

But anyways, Yibber, I ain't afraid (Too tired for that) jush...jush being cautious isch all...*Falls asleep over keyboard*

*Wakes up again* That piccie of Gold's Togepi...*Squeals and saves it onto computer* I love it! ^^ Hmm...I'll have to integrate it into my profile somehow...such a cute expression of concentration...XD

And yay for the new summary! I had to admit that I went 'huh?' for a moment when Ruby just offered to lend Ruru to Wally without any further comments. Although the 'Err...just don't dirty it, 'kay?' part cleared that right up. ^^

IC:

"Return, Nigina." Valen said quietly, quickly recalling the frenzied Seviper into her Luxury Ball before she could lash out again. The boy continued watching the others, slowly and discreetly backing away as he tried to formulate a plan for getting out of the mess he now found himself in, his hand instinctively tightening around the pok?ball on his belt...Seirini's pok?ball...it looked like he didn't have a choice.

"Indeed..." Rai spoke up at last, his face still looking rather pale and bearing a slightly sickly expression, one which was complemented by a nasty lurching feeling in his stomach that forced him to steady himself against the trunk of a nearby tree. Granted, he had seen some pretty nasty battles at the gym before, but Isabel dealt in ice types and always did a clean job on her opponents when she could. The sheer amount of bloodshed and viciousness...it-it was almost more than Rai could stomach. "...what is going on here? I think you owe us an explanation, Valen." he fixed as suspicious a glance as he could muster at the boy on the other side, Ashura assisting him both in standing upright and in staring down the stranger. She knew of the strange device that the boy had been hiding...oh yes, she knew more than she would have cared to. The Scyther hissed in irritation, glaring fiercely at Valen. She would have liked nothing more than to lunge straight at the boy and give him a piece of her mind, but with Rai in such a weak state, she couldn't risk leaving him unattended.

{It...it bes lookings evil.} Kaika murmured, staring at the fizzling Snag Machine, {Kaika bes not knowings what it is, but him bes knowings that it bes lookings evil!} there was an unusually fierce expression on the Vulpix's face as he jumped out of Rai's now rather unsteady hold, standing in front of the boy in a definitely protective manner, his small tails puffed up in another attempt at intimidation. The fox pok?mon still remembered very clearly how Rai had helped him back when he was feeling scared and weak, and even though he knew that the boy wasn't the master he should be serving he still wanted to protect Rai, masking his usual anxieties as best he could.

Ashura gave the Vulpix a quizzical look, a flicker of surprise and gratitude crossing across her features, although she didn't say anything, before she turned back to stare down Valen.

{Rai, is you okay?} Chupon asked worriedly, waving a hand in front of the boy's face, {You looks so pale and wobbly. Did that Nigina person hurt you?!} the Treecko's face contorted into a frown, his chubby little hands curling into fists. {I will...} he began, his little body trembling with rage, {I will...I will do something...something very-very nasty...I will...} the little gecko hesitated, his frown dissapearing to be replaced with a confused expression as he sat back down on Rai's shoulder, muttering quitely for himself as he attempted to figure out what it was he would do to Valen.

Rai gave the grass type a tired smile, patting him a bit on the head before smiling at Kaika and Ashura in turn. They were there for him...and unlike Rai they knew how to handle the situation, much like his friends. The boy felt proud and ashamed at the same time. Proud to travel with such resourcefull people and ashamed that he, despite all his training and 'experience', was having such difficulties in handling things when it really came down to it. Oh how he wished that he had been born with a bit more courage...like Zachary, the boy hadn't even flinched at the sickening clunk of the trumpet case that had caused Rai to clutch his stomach, and even now he seemed not only to maintain his own composure but also to comfort Silver, quite successfully calming her fears about the blood that had splattered from the attacks.

"That is none of your concern." Valen replied coldly, attempting to maintain his composure "Suffice to say that our battle is over and that I have more pressing concerns to attend to than lecturing you fools about things that are far beyond your comprehension. Sayonara!" in one swift motion, the boy plucked off a small object from within a hidden pocket on his jacket, a small, greyishly coloured orb which he tossed with rather violent force towards the ground, causing it to burst and cloak the area in a thick, grey smoke that stung the eyes, making it practically impossible for anyone to see as much as the hand in front of their face.

Amelia, who was still observing things from quite a long distance regardless of the invitation he had recieved from Jena, gasped as she noticed the cloud of smoke approaching, immediately diving for cover and doing her best to hold the smoke away from both her and Kuro's lungs. Although it is perhaps not fair to say that her gasp was solely the product of the smoke. Just a few moments before, she had finally managed to piece together why the boy looked so hauntingly familiar. This Valen...she had seen his face before, on a wanted poster back when she was visiting the more distant islands of Showgan. Valen Ironholm...wanted for pok?mon abduction, muggings, and membership in a criminal organization...citizens to be warned that he was both strong and ruthless and should be acted around with great care. All of this had just flashed through the trainee's mind, and the gas had merely been the final exclamation mark if you will, but she had not had the time to actually call out before her natural self-preservation instinct had already kicked in.

EDITNESS: Just realized I forgot to add Amelia's reactions. By the way, nice avvie/banner combination Melissa. ^-^ Especially love the banner...such a cute Chimecho! *Squeals* Merry christmas indeed, if only we had more snow and less ice over here. XD

I'll keep Charon's birthday present until she comes back then.>_>

Cute Chimecho banner and avatar Melissi!^^

Why be surprised Titan?!There ish a good side to Ruby,just that he's to arrogant to show it all the time.^^

Ic-

As scared as she was Jena stood rooted to the spot,staring at Valen with confusion.The boy didn't look like he wanted to battle anymore,reaching for a pokeball on his belt.Causing both Cascade and Ryne to leapt into battle stances.

{You are most definately not harming my trainer.}Ryne hissed,rather angry at all that had happened,poor Fang was seriously hurt.
{Keep away,yes?!}Cascade growled at Valen,feeling an increasing urge to use a Mud-slap attack on the boy's face.Tania merely glared at the boy,feeling rather angry at him for wanting to hurt the girl's friends.Jena slowly picked the curled up Wurmple on the ground,he didn't look so well.

The amount of blood seen,the strange metal device,this was all too scary for her.But,the girl's parents taught her to stand her ground,no matter what.She did just that,except for the fact that she was shivering every now and then.Rai didn't look much better,leaning against a tree trunk,face rather pale.Zachary however,didn't really show much,the boy just asked whether the battle was continuing or not.

Valen replied in a cold voice,saying that he didn't have time to lecture her or the others,throwing a smoke ball forcfully onto the ground.Jena coughed at the amount of smoke,this wasn't good.

"Tailow,you think you could blow the smoke away?"the girl asked the flying type on her shoulder,covering her face with one arm.

Tania gave a firm nod,the bird pokemon beat her wings back and forth,it was probably a Gust attack,though,since of her small size,it took long before all the smoke was cleared,and Jena hardly doubted that Valen would be waiting at the spot he was standing for them.

Kayley seemed to be shivering slightly, although now that Nigina had been recalled, the fear seemed to slowly be draining out of her, allowing her to relax her tight grip on the trumpet case just a bit, returning the grip to her right hand and picking up Fishy, who had been sticking to her side since he had gotten up. She said nothing the whole time, merely beginning to take in what everyone was saying and wondering with confusion why Rai could be so pale..

Fishy glanced up at his Trainer with worry, fearing that she might have been traumatized, but quickly turned away from her and stiffened when he realized that Valen was reaching for something in his jacket, his eyes regaining their stony look.

Razz seemed to be thinking of the same thing.. That both she and that Mud Fish had failed to protect Kayley, forcing the girl to take drastic measures (XD) on her own. Frowning at Valen, she dug her hooves into the ground and prepared to charge if necessary..

When Valen shouted a farewell and made his escape, throwing a smoke ball onto the ground, causing Kayley's eyes to widen a millisecond later when she realized what it was. Instantly all of her remaining bits of fear from the Nigina incident vanished, and she immediately snapped to her senses.

"Razz, return!" She shouted, fumbling with the Pokeball on her belt for a good second or two before she returned the Ponyta as quickly as she could, not wanting those flames to ignite them all in an instant inferno, thankfully forcing her into the Pokeball before the smoke could spread towards her.

Another pretty good thing was the fact that Tania was able to get the smoke out of the area before Kayley or Fishy were overwhelmed by it, if a bit slowly, although both of them had gone into a coughing fit when it had been released.

"W-Well.." Kayley wheezed between coughs, "There goes my.. Apology.."

{No..} Fishy piped up, also barely managing to get the words in over his coughing. {No.. He.. Got away..} The Mud Fish fell silent, fin drooping.

{Ohh!!Zis' smoke iz' chokin' mee!!}Tania complained,when she had finally blown the smoke away from the group,having breathed in some of the haze herself,she landed back on Jena's shoulder,coughing,tucking her sore wings neatly beside her body.

{Is this supposed to be happening??}Cascade closed his eyes,and covered as much of his face as he could with both of his short paws.The Ralts beside him did the same,while the Wurmple in their trainer's hands coughed,not really having anything to comment on.

"Where's Amelia?"once the girl had finished coughing,she suddenly remembered the trainee nurse,wondering if she and Kuro were alright.

{We....won't...let...him...get..away...next...time...}Cascade wheezed,frowning at the spot where Valen was standing last,with his Seviper.

Chappie 187(Vs Kecleon)

Ruby @ Outskirts of Petalburg
Sapphire @ Route 102 (Taking her time,ain't she...^^;; )/Petalburg City

----

Night had long fallen over Petalburg as Ruby and Wally made their way back to the place they had met that afternoon,at the outskirts of the city.Avoiding a sign which stated that because of recent Tsunami and Earthquakes,it was advised to stay away from that spot.

Still feeling rather uneasy,Wally asked the boy beside him whether it was okay,to come out that late at night.Ruby sighed at Wally's words,assuring him that it was too late to turn back now,and that the night was filled with its own charm as well.He then proceeded to point at a patch of glowing lights gracefully floating around the bushes,it turned out to be Volbeat,along with Illumise.Wally exclaimed that it was enchanting,at the sight of so much Volbeat and Illumise gathered together,before turning to see two Surskit skating silently on the surface of the pond.Ruby commented that the bug type were cute,and the Linoone which had popped his head out of a tree to observe the humans was cool.

It was hard to decide what to capture,Ruby scratched his chin,wondering if they had remembered to bring an empty pokeball.Wally however,wasn't listening,his attention somewhere else.

Wally-Ruby!!Look at that!!!

----

Zuzu slowly crept up to the zigzag pattern,while Ruby wondered whether the weird thing was a pokemon.Suddenly,an invisible force knocked the Mudkip over,the boy quickly asked Wally to get behind him as the Mudfish fell back.Angry,Zuzu ran towards the zigzag pattern,despite Ruby telling him not to give chase.The Mudkip used his paws to kick mud from the ground onto the attacker(Mud-slap,I think).
The outline of what looked like a lizard pokemon appeared.

The Kecleon shook the mud off itself as it lunged at Zuzu,its long tougue wrapping around and starting to constrict the water type.The invisible force was the color swap pokemon's tougue.Zuzu managed to wriggle free and slam the Kecleon's tougue onto the ground.The Normal type quickly withdrawed and started to flee,Wally started giving chase,much to the surprise of Ruby.

The boy told the green-haired kid that there was no need to rush,that there were a lot of pokemon to choose from.Wally shocked Ruby even more,as he said that he wanted to capture the Kecleon.

Ruby immediately started shaking the boy viciously,saying that a pokemon of that standard had no chance in Beauty and Coolness contests.(That's the Ruby we all know and.....love.XD)

Wally caught his breathe,saying that he thought it was interesting,how the Normal type could change its color like that.Still rather disappointed at the sickly lad's decision,Ruby said that since he had decided,he wasn't going to try and change the boy's mind.The two soon reached an opening in the woods,facing the sea,Ruby immediately smiled at the wonderful view,he never knew that that side of Petalburg faced the sea.It was Sea Route 105.
Wally warned that locals staid out of the area as it was prone to tsunami's hitting the shore right after earthquakes.Ruby turned around to find the same Kecleon,quickly passing Ruru's pokeball to Wally,telling him that this was the time he had to call the Ralts out.

He told the frail boy that the trick was to inch closer after each attack.Wally gave Ruby a firm nod,before nervously calling out Ruru.Before the Kecleon had a chance to run,the Ralts issued her Confusion attack to stop it in its tracks.This weakened the Normal type,as Ruby commented the boy on a great job so far.
As Ruru continued her Psychic attacks,he waited for a sign to see that the Kecleon was letting its guard down,before he asked Wally to throw the pokeball.
Wally tossed an empty pokeball to the Color Swap pokemon,but it reacted quickly,using its tougue to grab the pokeball.

Ruby told Wally not to give up and try one more time,but again,the Kecleon swatted the pokeball away with its tougue.As the sickly lad began to pant,the boy beside him grew worried,asking if he was alright.Wally looked up,a smile on his face,telling Ruby(who had taken to looking away from Wally to Ruru) that even though the result kept on repeating itself,he had never felt so much enjoyment in his life.
He wondered if it was maybe because the Coordinator was there,Ruby merely replied with a 'maybe',but he knew that Wally was feeling emotional right then and there.He pointed to his Ralts' horns.As the pokedex stated,Ralts was a Feeling pokemon,which could sense people's emotions with the red horns on their heads.Ruru must've picked up Wally's positive emotions.
Getting teary-eyed,Wally thanked Ruby,stating that he had to repay the boy for his help.From his pocket,Wally brought out a particular looking device.

A Pokemon Navigator,PokeNav,created by Devon.He had bought the device without his parents' knowlege,wanting to use it when he got his own pokemon.But,since it was able to check a pokemons' condition,Wally felt that it'd suit Ruby much better.

*cough*


He promised to stay with the sickly boy until he caught the Kecleon.

The Normal type was tired out by Ruru's continuous attacks,Ruby predicted that it would change its color to run away.(And of course,being so cute and smart)---

Both pretended that they couldn't see the pokemon,waiting till it thought that they had no idea where it was.Even though Kecleon could change color,they couldn't change the pattern on their stomach.Wally ran up at Ruby's command and threw the empty pokeball with as much force as he could muster,hitting the Color swap pokemon right on its zigzag pattern.

----

Slowly,the frail lad walked up to the pokeball.

Wally-I've caught my first pokemon!!

Ruby smiled at Wally's happiness,just as glad at the boy's first sucessful capture.His Ralts took to comforting the sickly lad as well.Now,he'd be able to move to Vendanturf with no regrets.
---

And now that he had captured the Kecleon,Wally's chest pains were returning.Ruby quickly told the boy not to faint on him like the last time.Suddenly,the ground began rumbling.Wally looked around,it must've bee another earthquake!They had to hurry back to the city.

Ruru and Wally went first,Ruby behind them.Unfortunately,the forest underneath the boy's feet,crumbled.Both Ralts and boy called out to the Coordinator as he grabbed onto the part which hadn't crumbled yet.Ruby told Ruru to look after Wally.
The water currents were too strong,and carried him away soon after.
The frail lad yelled out to his friend,the Psychic type beside the boy,trying to comfort the him.Eventually,he fainted.

---
The next morning,as the first few rays of Sun shined through the window of Wally's room,the boy slowly wakes up,realising that he was back in his room,on his bed.He turned to see Ruru waited anxiously at his bedside,the Ralts must have brought him back last night(No idea how she managed to do it.Like,how could such a tiny thingy carry such a big thingy.o.O Unless she used Confusion of something).

Wally-I have to go and rescue Ruby!I must let the adults know..

Ruru quickly grabbed onto his sleeve,shaking her head as Wally said Ruby could have been at the bottom of the sea by that time.

---

She could sense the boy's emotions with her horns.

Wally-Ruby is still...alive!!

---
Countdown to Deadline-77 days
----

Course,why'd they want to kill off my Ruby.>_>

Whew,loads of scans again.-___-
Anyway,while typing this out,I just realised how Raltsshippy this chappie ish.

OOC: Meh, I'll have to make this fast folks, so sorry if I miss some points. I've got an English essay to write and I'm just taking myself a short break so that my mind won't completely boil over. ~_~

Okay, first of all...just in case you come online, and even if you only do it later on...

^______^ HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARON! ^______^

You've already got a celebration thread up for her too, right? I'll go and poke my head there too once I get a minute. Anyways, just to emphasize the point;

^______^ HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARON! ^______^

Anyways, concerning the Skitty you are wondering about. Well, she just happened to be the very first pok?mon I met on that route on the upper right of Rustboro (You know the place) and it was kinda like a sign, so yeah...I took her along. I like Skitty. ^-^ Oh, and the T-Card isn't really up to date since I got myself a Makuhita too, for clarity reasons, I'll just post meh whole team as it currently is;

Mudkip (Bubu) @ Quick Claw
Male, level 20
Trait: Torrent
Nature: Quirky
Movesets:
Tackle
Water Gun
Mud Slap
Foresight

Dustox (Inara) @ N/A
Female, level 20
Trait: Shield Dust
Nature: Bold
Moveset:

Shroomish (Kiniko) @ Miracle Seed

Makuhita (Goro) @ N/A

And there ya' have it. When I caught that Makuhita I felt like I just had to take it along, much like with the Skitty, so I did. Which is why I'm still currently training in Granite Cave. Pwhee! And before you ask; yup, I do seem to have a thing for random names at the moment. ^-^

Oh, and Yibber, it wasn't the fact that Ruby could be nice that surprised me, it was the fact that I didn't see any fuss about his pok?mon getting dirty, but like I said, his next sentence cleared that right up. Oh, and Gold's Togepi...heh, I love that little bugger. ^^ In case you didn't notice, I put a reduced-size version of that piccie as my profile picture. Good job on the latest summary too, but yeah, I can understand why chapters like that can spurr the Wally x Ruby thing on, although of course we all know that there is one pairing for Ruby which pwns the others. Yay Franticshipping! ^^

Oh, but I'll have to get back to work soon, so I'll post an IC later. Sorry for the inconvenience.

OOC: Oh yes!

Happy B-Day Charon!!!

And welcome back Alter! Homework really stinks.... Thankfully, I'm on break now! Phweeee!

Anywhoo... flashabck time! 'Cause I can't think of anything to write. ^^;


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

"What the--?" Zachary choked, as Valen disappeared, "Who's he think he is... a ninja?" Some people thought they were too cool. That guy was just asking to be taken down a peg.

Ron looked up at his trainer. {That ends that I guess... so... what now?} the Aron asked thoughtfully. He didn't really want to think about the slime that Maxie had just been battling. He was gone now; what did it matter?

"Amelia? She's here?" Zachary said as Jena just asked about her, "Why's she... oh, I see, she helped Silver find us?" Silver couldn't have found her way to the arena all on her own; someone had to have helped her, and no doubt Amelia had been that very person.

Poor Maxie, and Fang and her didn't even get to finish the battle. The little bat must be furious. Zachary knew he would be angry if he hadn't gotten to finish a fight to prove himself to someone. All of this violence... it made him think back to the people he used to hang out with, and that wasn't a good thing. Though... it was the place he met Ron for the first time... and if it wasn't for his trainer's poor treatment, then they never would have become such good friends and partners.... That seemed like such a long time ago...

-------

"Hey Zack! Get me a drink too!"

"Yeah Zack! Over here!"

Their laughter rang up, they sure were having a good time celebrating. After all, their leader had just beaten a major rival, and that was definitely a cause for a celebration.

"Yeah... okay, I'm going," said a younger Zachary. His voice was more childish, yet signs of it changing were present. Zachary found himself thinking angry thoughts again. Why did he always have to get the drinks?! These were supposed to be his brothers, his friends, or whatever they called themselves; why did they always have to push him around? He knew things were supposed to be tough for "Winglings", their name for new pledges, but he had been their lackey for so long.

He came up to the drinks that were sitting in a large bin, and was about to bend down to grab them when another thing reached for them instead.

"Huh?" grunted Zachary, looking over to the thing that had reached for them. It was a little Aron, and he looked quite miserable. His light blue eyes were tired and his armor was cracked in several spots. Zachary blinked in confusion... it wasn't everyday you saw a strange pokemon grabbing for a drink.

Suddenly a slap came on his back and he stood up to come face-to-face with his very own leader. "See you've found my newest capture, eh Zack? This here was a little spoil of the fight with Ragnor! I knew it would be even more humiliatin' to see his favorite pokemon's wittle baby get taken and used by his enemy!" he looked down at the Aron with a savage grin, "Seems pretty useless I know, but, I've found uses for him. You should be happy, because now that I've got him, we don't need you to serve as a Wingling anymore! That's right, you're being promoted to a regular member now." He paused to get Zachary's reaction.

Zachary just stood there looking shocked. Promoted? Him?! He had waited so long for this! Now he would finally get to be included in all of the things he wasn't in before! But... that little pokemon was going to go through all that he had? Something just didn't feel right....

"Look at this; he even has built-in drink holders!" the older teen laughed, picking up a drink and sutffing it roughly into one of the many holes on the Aron's back. He then gave a swift kick to the Aron's back, "Come on! Hurry it up you weakling!" He patted Zachary on the back once more, told him he looked forward to working with someone so obedient as he was, and then walked into the room with the others.

Zachary looked back down at the little Aron. Did it even have a name? The boy couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for the pokemon that had inherrited his job...


-------

Looking down at Ron now, seeing him as a strong, happy, and more importantly fiesty Aron made Zachary so happy. Ron looked up at him with a frown.

{What're you looking at?} he said with an eyebrow raised. Humans... would anyone ever figure them out? Even other humans can't figure out humans. What a strange species.

OOC: Yay! Lucky you..I've still got a Swedish essay to write tommorow, and I had my Physics lesson today too because there's some stuff going on tommorow that would be keeping my dad busy. Gah, Physics + English essay = pure evil. -_-

IC:

As soon as the cloud of smoke began expanding, Ashura quickly pushed Rai down behind her with the flat side of her bladed right arm, using the left one to cover herself from whatever was within the smoke, after all, for all they knew it could be poisonous. The cloud caught Kaika by surprise, causing the little fox pok?mon to cough very loudly, his eyes tearing up from the irritation as he layed as low as he could, huddling next to Rai. Despite his rathe unexpected arrival on the ground however, the boy had already managed to grab a tight hold of Chupon, holding the little Treecko close to him with one arm while holding onto the trembling Kaika with the other.

As the smoke cleared, Rai slowly got up on his feet, brushing the dirt and smoke particles off his clothes and the rest of himself as best he could. He made a mental note to take a shower and get changed when they next arrived to the pok?mon center before surveying the scene. Valen had quite efficiently vanished, not that Rai had expected anything less, but otherwise things seemed to be in order. The others, he noted with a fair measure of relief, were unharmed, if maybe a bit disoriented, and all of the pok?mon still seemed to be there.

The boy heaved a sigh of relief, feeling his worries shrink a bit. Whatever plans that Valen person had had in mind seemed to have been foiled. "Is everyone allright?" the boy asked just in case, peering around the group "Anybody missing anything?"

Hearing his own question, the boy suddenly felt a new fear strike his mind. The pendant! With all of the things that had been going on, the boy hadn't payed much heed to the accessory he concealed under his shirt, but now the thought struck him...what if Valen had been aiming to steal it all along? Rai didn't really know what value the pendant held, other than the fact that it was a lovely piece of jewelry in its own right, but his father had always stressed that he should keep it safe and out of view above all. The boy quickly reached underneath his shirt, feeling another rush of relief as his fingers came into contact with the golden chain beneath it. Still intact... he thought for himself, hastily attempting to conceal his maneuver by returning his hand to his side.

{Honourless coward!} Ashura hissed, glaring at the spot where Valen had been just a moment before. Now that Rai seemed to be feeling better again, the Scyther felt that there wasn't such a pressing need for her to stand right by his side, walking over to the broken snag machine on the ground and slicing through it with one, vicious strike, splitting it in two and glaring reproachfully at the object.

"Umm...I'm here!" Amelia called out shyly as she noticed that people were beginning to wonder about her. She quickly brushed of the worst of the dust and dirt from her uniform and her hair as she walked over to the rest with quite considerable trepidation, holding Kuro even closer to her than before. "I-I'm sorry I followed you like that..." she added timidly, seeming to adress her feet again, "It was just that-well, that Valen person...he seemed familiar..." she took a pause, "He's a criminal you know." the trainee added, shuddering, "Valen Ironholm, professional pok?mon thief. I-I think he was after your Zubat." she nodded to Maxie "I-I'm glad that...that everything turned out for the best." the girl sighed, "Well, maybe not everything..." she added as an afterthought "Gwendolyn is going to kill me when she finds out about this."
 
OOC:

Oh gawd, now I really feel sorry for ya, Titan. XD

Physics and an English essay.. You aren't gonna die and leave us all to hopelessly rant are ya? XD

By the way, are you copying what I did regarding names in XD??? Huh, are ya? *poke*

Anyways, Yibber has not posted at her regular time.. Awww... ;.;




IC:




"I'm.. Fine." Kayley said in response to Rai, now recovering from her coughing fit. Fishy was sulking silently in her arms, wishing with all his might that he could've gotten a shot at that guy, who hadn't even apologized for his Seviper's behavior. In fact, he was still feeling bad about how the whole Nigina thing had turned out, which was another reason for the little Mudkip to sulk.

"Not missing anything.. I returned Razz." She paused there, looking down at her Mudkip and only now noticing how solemn he was.. Much more than usual. Perhaps now that her senses were back to normal, she could tell that something was up with her Pokemon.

She was just about to strike a conversation with Fishy, when Amelia timidly announced she was there, walking over to them and sharing what she knew about Valen in a shy manner, then commenting how she'd be dead once Nurse Gwendolyn found out about her leaving the center.

"Who said anything about letting Nurse Gwendolyn find out?" Kayley chirped, throwing a smile at the trainee and her Meowth friend. "But.. You said he was a professional Pokemon theif?" She paused. "Then.. Thank goodness he didn't get Fang.. Or any other one of out Pokemon, for that matter." She continued, absent-mindedly stroking Fishy with the fingers that belonged to the hand holding him.

{By the time we realized who he really was, he would've gone down.} Fishy stated firmly, nodding once and slowly moving out of his solemn state.

Oh,random fact tha the Togepi's name ish Togetaro.


Meh,sorry Plushie.I just came back from badminton pratice.>_>

Feebas,we didn't get to do push-ups-AGAIN.But,we did run a joyous six rounds,probably why I'm late today.^^

Ic-

"Nope,nothing missing."Jena replied after Kayley,she had stopped coughing as well.Checking to make sure she was still in one piece by feeling her head and arms with the hand which wasn't holding onto Orjen.Before looking down at her feet to make sure that her pokemon were safe as well.

{Yeah,I'm fine,yes?}Cascade nodded,though still rather fustrated that Valen had managed to escape.Ryne remained silent,staring at Ashura as she sliced the broken snag machine into even more tiny metal bits.

The girl turned around as Amelia and Kuro came out,saying that Valen was a Pokemon Theif.Thank Feebas he didn't suceed.

"Well,we were lucky.Don't know how lucky we'll get next time."Jena frowned at Kayley's statement.Never let your guard down.

"Yeah,as long as no one tells Nurse Gwendolyn,you'll be fine,you secret's safe with us!"she quickly replaced the frown with a grin,agreeing with Kayley whole-heartedly.

{Talk talk talk,blah blah blah.Is that all you guys ever do?I'm going back into my pokeball.}Orjen was certainly tweaked out,poking his trainer with one hand before disappearing into the pokeball on Jena's wristband.

OOc-
Editness---
One more post to 1000!!!

I know,I'm supposed to be gloating AFTER I reach 1000.But,I'm Feebas that way.XP
