Not open for further replies.
OOC: Meh, I'll have to work today too, so my posting ability will once again be skewered. Joy...-.- Anyways, I'm allowed to take a break once in a while (And if I work hard enough I should be done in a few hours) so hopefully I'll be able to manage at least semi-attendance.

And Plushie, nope, you ain't getting rid of me that easily! ^^ Although there's of course the Swedish essay...maybe you'll get lucky, eh? XD

Concerning the name thing...ehh...it's partially because of that maybe, but also partially inspired by the pok?mon manga. But hey, have a cookie for coming up with that nicknaming idea. ^.^ *Gives herbie cookie (Don't ask how I got that) and hides just in case*

And yay for you coming back, Yibber! ^^ Heh, you already had me worried there.

IC:

"Good." Rai replied as both Jena and Kayley stated that they weren't missing anything, nodding and feeling glad that they hadn't seemed to notice his little search for the pendant. That could have led to some awkward questions.

The boy frowned in contempt as Amelia explained who Valen reall was, "A thief?" he echoed, suddenly realizing just how lucky they had been. If that Seviper hadn't gotten out of control or if Kayley hadn't been that handy with that trumpet case of hers then...well, then that boy would probably have pulled his dissapearing act with Fang in tow. It was obvious how attached Maxie was to that Zubat, and Rai shuddered to think of how she would have reacted if he would have been stolen. Maxie could be scary enough as it was, and with the only one whom she really listened to gone...it wasn't a pretty picture, so Rai chose not to dwell on it.

"True, we got lucky." he commented at last, "And with a little more luck that guy won't harass us again. But I agree with the others." he added, nodding to Amelia, "Gwendolyn will never know. Out of sight, out of mind, yes?"

The trainee managed a weak smile at all of the reassurances she was given by the group, "T-thank you..." she replied, "Only...I don't think I-I...it's so hard...to hide anything from Gwendolyn. She-she's got this-this terrible stare...almost-almost like a Gengar's mean look or something...and then she does that 'trainee Amelia' thing, and then I blush and start stuttering...and then she finds out..." she sighed, "Not to mention that both I and Kuro are far too dirty for her not to notice anything." the trainee gestured towards her outfit, which was still bearing a fair bit of dust and smoke particles, "B-but thank you for your support anyway..."

{She-she bes soundings just like Kaika when he has done something bad...} Kaika commented thoughtfully, his large brown eyes focused on Amelia as he walked a bit closer to the trainee, nuzzling her free palm comfortingly {That-that nurse is being a terrible meanie to her, yes she is...} the fox pok?mon took a thoughtfull pause, pondering his own words. Terrible meanie... he repeated in his mind, But-but her boss is so much like the master...the master can't be a terrible meanie...can he?

Ashura had been glaring at the broken snag machine for the whole time, lost in memories that, judging by her expression, were far from pleasant. However, when she noticed Ryne's eyes on her the mantis pok?mon quickly straightened up, brushing aside the thoughts and stalking off to the others in her usual gruff manner so as to keep the Ralts from prying into her affairs.

Chupon on the other hand had been following Orjen's movements, becoming ever more confused with the Wurmple's behaviour. {Umm...is Orjen okays?} the Treecko asked at last as Orjen retreated into his pok?ball with one last gruff remark, {He sounds just like Ashura...did the snake person do something to him?}
 
OOc-

Worried?o.O
All I got were just sore legs from running around,no worries.XP
Anyway,tis' better,I won't fall back.Since I'm working on the summary of Chappie 188 now.Sapphire's back!^^

And,I see a Makuhita and the that,Brawly dude's badge on Titan's Trainer Card.Wait..was I the last one to notice that?XD

Ic-

"Right..I guess."Jena nodded to Rai,though,they still didn't know for sure that this Valen person wouldn't be coming back.Thinking through the boy's statement 'Out of sight,out of mind'.The girl felt rather interested at the saying never really hearing anything like it at all.

"You could always tell her that..um.."Jena tried to think up of a fib to tell Gwendolyn why Amelia looked so tattered.But,the girl wasn't really good at these sorts of things,merely shrugging after awhile of thought.
"I can't think of anything."she sighed,glancing at the trainee's skirt.

Ryne immediately snapped out of her trance as Ashura straightened up and stalked off,the Scyther must've noticed her looking,which was quite hard to believe really,since she had that green hat on her head,which covered her red eyes most of the time.

{Very sorry,I honestly didn't mean to stare.}she told the bug type as she walked past her.

{I don't know what happened,but when he saw that metal thingy,he became all,un-Orjen-ish,no?}Cascade answered the Treeko's question,truthfully,the Mudkip felt rather worried.

"I'm being ignorant,but,what does that mean?"Jena asked Rai,clearly talking about the saying he had mentioned earlier.

OOc-

*backs away from Herbie cookie and runs screaming*
 
OOC: Actually, I doubt that you were (Although I did mention the Makuhita earlier ^^). You see, that newest update to my T-Card was only made last night so yeah. And as a random funny thing; I beat two of Brawly's pok?mon with Lini (My Skitty, a Gentle (+Sp.Defense, -Defense) Skitty.). In yo face muscle man! XD Too bad his Makuhita was too strong for her. -.- Oh well, it couldn't hope to withstand the wrath of Bubu. Oh, and my whole team is at level 20 (Except for Bubu who is 21) now I think...or was Lini still level 19? Hmm...I forget. Anyways, I'll probably update it again soon because both Goro and Kiniko are nearing evolution. ^-^

Yup, worried that you were having some mean ol' real-life interference that would have prevented you from coming. It would have been very quiet around here if that would have been the case.

IC:

"Oh...that's allright..." Amelia replied to Jena's attempt at coming up with a cover-up story, "Sometimes it works if you just look sad and shut up..." she sighed, "I-I'm just worried that this will be too much because I'm...well, already kind of on thin ice because of Kuro..." she stroked the fur on the Meowth's head affectionately "But don't worry...I'll be fine...I'll be fine as long as I have Kuro.."

The cat pok?mon merely remained quiet, holding tightly onto Amelia as he peered around the group. There were far too many people about for him to dare to speak up, and several of them looked scary...especially that Scyther. The Meowth shuddered slightly before blocking the thought of the mantis pok?mon out.

Ashura merely grunted in response to Ryne's apology, leaving it unclear at best wether she had accepted it or not. Although odds were that with all the aggrevating things that had recently taken place, she would probably have expressed her displeasure quite clearly if that had been the case.

{Hey, that's right!} Chupon squeaked at Cascade's comment, now remembering the Wurmple's reaction too, {Ashura looked at it real weird too...} he cast a fearful glance at the battered metallic object lying on the ground, {Wonder what it does?}

"Hmm?" Rai looked up at Jena's question, "Oh, you mean 'out of sight, out of mind'?" he asked in confirmation, "It's just an old saying. It means that what she doesn't know won't bother her."
 
OOc-
YEAH!!!>D

I'll take tha as a compliment.^^

Ic-
"Oh,that sounds interesting.Never learned stuff like that,my Mas.."

"Mareep..my Mareep,they don't say these sorts of things.Of course!Why would they anyway,its not like they can talk or anything."the girl laughed nervously,knowing that she sounded rather strange.Jena bit her tougue she had almost let it slip out,again.She was never good at keeping secrets to begin with.Kendre would always pry it out of her anyway,this caused the girl to let out a snort at the old man.

{Looks like Jena's got something going on too,yes?}Cascade tilted his head as his trainer let out a snort for no apparent reason at all.

Ryne didn't know what the grunt from Ashura meant,but it looked like the Scyther wasn't caring about it either way.The Ralts turned to Chupon and Cascade.

{We've never seen that thing before.Sir and Ma'm don't use these newly-developed devices.}she shrugged at the Treeko's question.


OOc-
Feebas!>_<
I just typed out Chappie 188.

No,I didn't delete it like last time.XD

I can't seem to copy and paste it onto this thingy...Guess I'll have to re-type it here.T_T

Editness-

The Feebas acknowledged my prayer and let me copy and paste the chappie.Freaky....o.O
Whatever,as long as I don't need to retype that long chappie.XP


Chappie 188(Vs Lombre)

Sapphire @ Outskirts of Petalburg-Route 104
Ruby @ Drifting somewhere on Route 105

--
It was morning in the outskirts of Petalburg,a commotion was taking place.People gathered around a Pelipper-shaped statue,staring at the girl on it.Sapphire had abandoned her shoes to the side of the fountain,trying to pull apart the stone-pellipper's mouth,as if she was trying to reach into it and pull something out.

Maryann(like,one of the most re-knowned reporters of Hoenn) made her way through the crowd,asking her assistant and cameraboy,Tyler,what had happened.Turned out,an old man's pokemon had got sucked into the fountain,and now this girl was trying to save it.

Fustrated by the fact that she had found nothing so far,Sapphire refused to give up,digging her hand deeper into the opening.The old man held his hands up,worried as he told her to stop.The girl ignored him,saying that she knew that it was inside the Pelipper.They had already checked the water and it wasn't there.Water was sucked from the bottom and came out from the top.
The old man placed a hand on his hat,stating that it was too big a favour.

Sapphire-What favour?!I'm doing this for the pokemon!!

He turned around,demanding to know why the authorities hadn't arrived.Sapphire told him that if they waited for the Drainage Technicians ,it'd be too late.The girl sniffed the man,before sniffing around the statue.She could roughly pinpoint where it was now.

She called out her Aron,who needn't wait for an order,began chewing through the metal pillar the Pelipper was on,leaving the surrounding people to gasp in shock.Was that pokemon actually eating metal?As the base of the statue became thinner and thinner,Sapphire grabbed onto the statue and let out a roar,pulling it with all her might.
Water from the fountain gushed out and soaked all the on-lookers and an amazed Gabby stared as the girl threw the Pelipper to one side,holding something in her hands….
------
The old man had tears in his eyes while he called out to his Castform and the crowd cheered with joy.Sapphire said that she was looking for a spot which smelled like the man,hopping off the broken statue and infront of the crowd.Tyler gapped his mouth open,it was unbelievable,this girl could actually smell stuff?

Sapphire told the man that it was still too early to thank her,they still needed to warm the Castform's body.Luckliy,Toro used the heat from her Ember attack.He nodded,asking if Rono was alright,from eating all that hard metal.Sapphire apologized,saying that he had a huge appetite,taking out her father's pokedex and showing the man.To sustain their body of iron,Aron feed on iron ore dug from mountains,or even bridges and rails,creating problems.

Tyler and Maryann realized,that,the old man was the Chairman of the Devon Corporation.As Sapphire passed back the Castform back to its rightful owner,Maryann thought of what a headline it would make-'Girl who solved the Chairman's Crisis'.The woman pushed the cameraman towards the girl,telling him to ask her for an interview.

Sapphire poked the lense of Ty's camera,before jumping onto his head to a nearby lamppost,stating that she was sorry because she wasn't fond of television.The water had subsided,allowing Maryann to peer into the fountain.

Her eyes widened,noticing that the metal grills at the bottom of the fountain were cut,letting the Chairman's Castform to be sucked into the statue in the first place.

--
Meanwhile,three people wearing uniforms from the Drainage Corp. scowled as they observed Sapphire and the Chairman.The dude,who seemed to be the leader,held his pokegear infront of his face.

Amber-This is getting interesting!It almost went as planned when that strange kid appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the fountain.

The man on the otherside of the line,their boss scoffed,unable to believe that a kid destroyed a fountain.

They knew that the Chairman would come for a walk everyday,so they staged this plan to pretend to be from the Drainage Company when his Castform got sucked into the water,kidnap the Chairman and be on their merry way.Except for that girl…

The boss told them that no matter what,they had to kidnap the Chairman that day.He didn't want them to get noticed,but,desperate times called for desperate measures.

Archie-I don't care what you do!!Just complete the mission!

The three agreed,tore off the Drainage Uniforms,to reveal an odd attire of some sort underneath ----
The Chairman asked Sapphire(who was sitting on the lamp post,putting her shoes back on) whether she was from the nearby village,course' she was a traveler.She introduced herself to the dude,and told him she was on her way to challenge all the gyms in Hoenn.

Stone followed her lead,introducing himself,with his Castform on his shoulder.Offering the girl to follow him to his company in the next town,where he could properly thank her.

Before she had a chance to reply,Sapphire smelt something in the air.Leaping off her spot on the lamppost,she landed on all fours,growling at the fountain.

There was something,something inside the fountain

---

Yes,Sapphire ish very strong.Wait and she what she does in the next chapter.Vs Ludicolo.(AH!!!!X0X)

OOC: Great summary again Yibber! ^-^ Sapphire sure is a wild girl! I wish May in the anime was like that... *sigh* It would make her far more interesting. Anyway...

Congrats to Alter for his Makuhita! Hey Alter, do you actually have a team in mind, or are you just catching pokemon and seeing which ones you like best?

OMG. I'll actually be updating my art thread today with some lovely sketches of Rukario and a Charmeleon. ^^ And a sketch of Charmander from my fanfic!

Hope Charon's having fun! And I hope her birthday was fun too.


Zachary
==========

"Aw, I think you two make great partners," Zachary said to Amelia, "I can just tell that you two care about each other a lot. Yep, I think you'll be allright if you've got each other. Besides, you've just gotta tell yourself to stay focused. I'm sure if you explain why you did what you did, she'll have to see that it was for all the right reasons."

Zachary had not noticed Rai's reach for the inside of his shirt, nor had he noticed Jena's slip-up. He didn't really pick up on things like that unless he was already looking at them, and he had been watching Amelia. He did think she was kinda cute; and so naturally his attention was a bit drawn to... her.

{Ugh,} Ron sighed, {I think you think she's pretty!} He threw a disgusted glance at his trainer.

Zachary's face flushed a bit, "Ron!" he said through his teeth. The little Aron always picked just the right moments to be sarcastic and witty. However, right after he said his comment, Zachary went to turn around to talk more privately with Ron, spun around too fast, and tripped on a rock.

"Argh!" he grunted, falling on his face. He quickly got back up, attempting to look as if it had been planned. Ron shook his head with stuffled laughter.

"That was, erm, fun," he said as he brushed himself off. Great... right in front of Amelia, Silver, Jena, Kayley, and Maxie... why were there so many girls around again?

Luka suddenly got the feeling that something was watching them. She whipped around to look at the area behind the group, but nothing was there. She snorted. Something was there... she was sure of it. She would have to let it go though, because whatever it was wasn't there anymore.
 
OOC:

Phwee, I finally woke up, peoples. XD

And I had the weirdest dream, too. Somethin' bout a lotta people swimming laps at a beach with water Pokemon in the water mocking them because humans swim so dang slow. XD




IC:




{Do you really wanna find out what it does? I mean come on, if it isn't on T.V., then it's gotta be used discreetly, which means total and pure evil. Dude, you didn't notice that?} Fishy replied to Chupon's question about the Snag Machine, snorting. The look in his eyes was still not quite pleasant yet, but at least he was returning to his normal way of thinking. And apparently Razz and Kayley were the only ones who noticed, so it didn't really make much of a difference anyway.

Kayley hadn't been paying attention to what Fishy was saying. At the moment she was trying to figure out a way to get Amelia out of her current predicament. Come on, the poor Trainee had followed them to make sure they were safe, right? Well, she was pretty much too deep in those thoughts to really consider what Jena was saying wasn't too clear.. About her Mareep and all.

"I'm sure we'll figure out something to tell Nurse Gwendolyn." Kayley said with a glazed look in her eyes, tilting her head slightly.

{Well, maybe if we set something on fire in the Pokemon Center's kitchen, Nurse Gwendolyn will think the stuff on your outfit is from the fire, and then once we blame Razzie for the whole thing, you'll get off the hook!} Fishy chirped from his place in Kayley's arms, turning towards the Trainee.

Kayley gave her Mudkip a look of horror. "Fishy, that really isn't very smart.."

{..Well what would you do, then, huh? Answer me that!} He retorted, playfully sticking his tongue out at his Trainer.

Kayley merely sighed, shaking her head. During that little talk with Fishy, she had missed Zack's fall, so she didn't really have any comments about that if you catch my drift.





--------





{WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~!!!!}


Her scream could be heard throughout the area as the young Mawile fell through the air, having landed on that last tree branch the wrong way and was now heading towards the groud just like a tree that the Ursaring had recently chopped down.

Both objects hit with a crash, resulting in an 'oof!' from Kinaki as the Mawile went into a roll, coming to a stop a few meters away from.. Azure Town. She barely had time to ponder this, however, forcing herself out of her small daze and turning around just in time to see the Ursaring coming at her with a look of extreme hunger written across his face.

{EEEEK!} Kinaki screamed, throwing her arms up in the air and making a run for it, her childish energy still taking effect as she ran into the Eastern side of town, having absolutely no idea where she was going, but knowing that she had to get away from the Ursaring or she'd never see Mommy again..

Fleeing down one side of the river's nearby embankment, she screamed whenever she saw an unfamiliar human (which was every human she saw), or turned around to see the Ursaring still chasing her.

It was as if the hunger was actually giving him strength!

The Mawile and Ursaring stirred commotion everywhere they went around the Eastern side of Azure Town, dashing throught streets, knocking over lemonade stands, tripping people.. And eventually Kinaki was beginning to tire at last.

Spotting a distinct red-roofed building that was tall enough for her to get away from the Ursaring, Kinaki picked up the pace one last time and leaped to her destiny, landing on a pile of wooden crates. As the Ursaring leaped after her and prepared a Slash attack, she jumped up with all her might.. And missed the rooftop because she was too short, and was forced to grab onto the giant capital 'O' of the building's front sign that read 'POKEMON CENTER.'

The Ursaring growled as he smashed through the wooden crates, glaring at the Mawile from his position on the ground.

{Why me? DO I REALLY NEED THE EXCERCISE? ARE YOU IMPLYING SOMETHING!?} The Ursaring shouted, shaking his fist at nothing in particular before focusing his attention back towards Kinaki, who was gulping by now and frantically trying to get herself further away from the Ursaring.

By now a crowd of people had showed up, keeping their distance away from the Ursaring, but all the same wondering what in the hell was going on.

They all watched as the Ursaring lunged towards the child Mawile, claws prepared to rip through the Steel-type flesh, even though that would take a while.
 
OOC: Darn my clumsy fingers!!! >___<

I had a whole, ginormous post almost typed up before I accidentally closed the window. *Sigh* Bye-bye postie...I'll just have to try to remember what I wrote I guess...and type it all out again. Joy...-.-

On the plus side, I'm now done with the last of my assignments, so the only delay I'll have tommorow will be that I'll have to study Physics some more (Because the test is on Monday @_@). Dang, you can bet that I'll be relieved once that *Censored* test is over and done with.

Aaanyway, good on you, Yibber. You're starting to learn how to translate my words (which is more than I can seem to do at times XD). Yes, taking it as a compliment is definitely the best way to go. ^^

Oh, and cheers for the new summary! Heh, I simply love that piccie where Sapphire is taking the chairman's scent...that bussiness-as-usual expression she has on her face when she does that...ahh, that's my favourite piccie of this summary. ^^ Yup, her whole wild-child thing (What with ripping up fountains and all XD) is definitely fun. I agree with Melissa, the anime would a lot more fun if May was more like that. *Glares accusingly at May* Did you hear that, young lady? You should take example of her. *Points at Sapphire* May is just so...well, mellow really. I'm not sure what she's like in the later episodes but from what I've seen this far she just doesn't seem to stand out in any way...not that that gloryhog Ash would ever be taken out of the spotlight long enough for other characters to shine, mind you. <.<

Concerning my team, eh...I'm mostly going by intuition, yes. Although I do try to make a point of training pok?mon I haven't used before. I'm thinking of taking a Wailord onto the team at some point, and a Claydol too. There are others as well, I'll know them when I see them. Although I have no idea of what my final team will look like. ^^

And yay for the updating of your art thread Melissa! I do enjoy seeing your work. ^-^

Concerning your dream, Plushie...XD Lucky you. I wish I had weird dreams like that. Well, I did have this one dream the other night when I had been turned into a Hoppip pok?morph for some reaso. I was in this big, castle-like place and there was this strange dude who insisted on playing chess with me, only he had no clue of how you should move the pieces. Yeah, freaky bussiness...o.O

Oh, and I recall Arty having a nightmare about being chased around by a giant Pikachu once too. XD

IC:

Rai blinked at Jena's comment, giving the girl a quizzical look as she hastily, and with rather poor conviction, began speaking of Mareep not saying any things like the one he had just said. The whole air around the girl instantly brought a sentence back to Rai's mind, a sentence from way back...one which his drama teacher had once said. It was a funny thing really, the boy hadn't the foggiest idea of what the sentence had concerned, but he remembered the wordsl like it had just been yesterday when he last heard them; "It's quite simple, lad." the aging actor had said, chuckling slightly, "It doesn't take a good actor to spot a bad one. He was sweating."

Now of course, Jena was by no means sweating as she told her lie, but Rai found that the rest of the sentence fit well into the current situation. He could notice that the girl was hiding something as easily as if it had been written all over her forehead, but strangely enough, none of the others seemed to be taking note of this so Rai decided not to stirr up a fuss. After all, he wasn't exactly being open about his own background either, he could symphatize with Jena wanting to keep something secret, fully confident that the girl's secret wouldn't be harmfull to him or the others in any way.

"I actually kind of disagree with you on that." Rai replied at last, smiling at the girl in his usual friendly manner, "I believe any pok?mon will talk to us if we are willing to listen. Whether they have something usefull to say however, is another matter alltogether."

"Really?" Amelia asked at Zachary's comment, a bashfull smile spreading across her face again, "You really think so? I-umm...well, thanks." she stroked Kuro a bit more "I-I try my best..." the trainee took a small pause, "I'm not so sure that Gwendolyn will listen to reason though..." she added, grinning wryly, "But I-I'll try...I mean, it-it can't hurt right? And keeping focused...yeah, that-that's a good idea I guess. Really, thanks for all your support...erm, I mean all of you of course." she added, blushing quite considerably as she noticed how that last sentence of hers might have sounded, "I really appreciate it..."

As Zachary tripped and fell over, the trainee was ready to dart over to help him, but it looked like the boy had managed just fine on his own, brushing away the dirt from his clothes and trying to laugh off the matter, claiming that it was fun.

"Really?" the trainee asked, giving him a worried glance, "It-it looked kind of painfull but...if you say so." there was a great deal of virtues that could be attributed to Amelia, but picking up on falsehoods just wasn't one of them. Rai felt a strong urge to comment as well, but knowing that it would be impolite to do so he managed to hold his tongue.

Suddenly, the shrill and rather childish-sounding cry of a Mawile broke the relative silence residing in the clearing, soon followed by a great deal of rumbling from the nearby forest, rumbling that seemed to be heading towards the city.

Ashura immediately went onto the alert, her eyes narrowing. Thunder indeed...it was a group of wild pok?mon causing that ruckus after all, and by the sound of it they were bringing it to town. She sighed in forfeit as she noticed Rai's expression, immediately realizing that trying to persuade him out of poking his nose into the matter would be a completely pointless and futile enterprise.

"That sounded bad." Rai commented to the group in general, turning towards the source of the noise "And unless I'm mistaken, whatever it was is heading towards Azure Town! Come on! Let's go take a look!" he gestured for his pok?mon to gather around him, Kaika dutifully jumping onto his arms again while Chupon resumed his usual place on the boy's shoulder and Ashura took peak, dissapearing in a blurr of motion to scout out the area up ahead.

OOC: Oh-ho-hoo! Zachy-boy is looking at Amelia that way, eh? I'd love to see Silver's reaction to that! XD
 
OOc-
*pokes Titan with blue cheese*Hehehhe,dude's starting to be almost as clumsy as me.^^

Like,yeah!Sapphire's cool that way,she can even lift Ruby up over her head.XP

If May were like Sapphire.*ponders on about it*
Gah,I don't like thinking that way...Sapphire be Sapphire.May be boring ol' May.At least Sapphire stands out far more than May ever would.The girl can pull apart a metal fountain for Feebas sake.Lets just see if May would even THINK of doing it.XP

*gaspen*Titan saying that I can't understand what he say most of the time cause I'm slow-minded?!>D

Weird dreams you all are having.Though,I actually do dream of Feebas sometimes.o.O
Anyway,*runs to tell Flissie about Amelia and Zach*

I call it- Clumhealshipping....or some other better sounding name.I'll think up of in the afternoon.>_>

Ic-

Jena was having a hard time absorbing what the boy beside her was saying.What he was telling her,she had never seen in her textbooks,or studied for the matter.How could pokemon talk?Well,yes,it seemed that most of her friends ould communicate well with their pokemon,but she,couldn't.

"Well,I'm not really like you am I?Can't seem to understand anything Ryne,Cascade or Orjen try to say."she folded her arms,staring at Zachary as he tripped over a rock,hastily getting up and saying it was fun.

"Pain is fun?"Jena repeated what the boy had stated,had she really been missing out on so much?

Before Rai had a chance to reply to her,the cries of what seemed to be a Mawile and Usaring seemed to pierce though silence in the clearing.Then,what sounded like thunder from the forest nearby,then towards Azure Town.

Cascade immediately shook up from his sitting position on the ground,forgetting about the Snag machine as more than a few trees fell onto the ground.{Meep!!!Battle training!!}he kipped the dreaded word,running around in a circle,running over all the pokemon that where small enough to let him.This included Ryne,Miruka and a few others which the Mudkip hadn't notice,since he had shut his eyes tightly.

"What was that?"Jena asked as she knew that they were already in Azure Town,sounds of overturning carts and other stuff the girl couldn't make out could be heard.She pryed her frantic Mudkip off the ground,while her Ralts onto her shoulder."Cassy,stop that,its only the sound of falling trees."

"Sorry about that.."she sweatdropped,starting to stroke him in a way her Master had taught her.Reach for the acupoints of a Mudkip's body,behind both of his orange gills.Cascade immediately stopped squirming and quieted down,wondering why did the falling of trees sound like thunder.Jena looked up from the water type and nodded at Rai's suggestion,ready to go,waiting for the others.

You think that was a weird dream too, Yibber? Well you should see some of the other dreams I've had, then. XD

You people disgust me with those clumsy fingers of yo-*presses Back button and deletes OOC up to this point*

Yeah, that actually happened when I was typing that. XD

Aaaaanyways, my Mom dragged my across the island so she could get some shot checked, and then we bought presents for my school fwends. ^-^

I feel so sorry for them, I got them all books on random things relating to their interests with a touch of humour. XD

Phwee, Yibber, you need help with teh naming of teh new shipping? Here ve go!


Zachary x Amelia = Bashshipping

Bash has a double meaning.. Amelia relates to it because she's bashful, while Zach bashes into things. XD

And I concur, Titan.. Flissie, post already and show us the wrath of Silver! XD

Oh, and I really should get to describing how much trees have fallen down. Maybe when the group moves out of town, eh?

Ashura's gonna scout the area, eh? Gives me an idea, it does.. But no PM this time. XD





IC:




"Oh yes, let's move towards the screaming and rumbling." Kayley said sarcastically, although she herself was rather curious, and finding the source of the commotion would be very nice, if only to reassure her that it wasn't anything too bad..

"Nah, seriously, I vote checking it out, too." Kayley said again, just in case someone hadn't picked up on her sarcasm.

Readjusting her grip on Fishy, and her trumpet case as well, she turned back towards the path towards the Pokemon Center and waited in her spot, glancing around at everybody else just to make sure that they were all going to move out.

While she did so, Fishy stared down at Cascade and tilted his head, wondering what had gotten into the guy. Sure, those sounds did sound very bad.. Perhaps Fishy was too overconfident for his own good and therefore was not seeing the danger in the whole situation.




------




It wasn't as painful as it could have been since she was naturally resistant to Normal attacks, but it still hurt nonetheless, since the predator was obviously fully grown and she was still a bit inexperienced compared to him. Oh yes, she had started a couple of fights before, but none of them gave her enough experience to amount to this.. This giant bear.

And so Kinaki lay there on the ground in front of the Pokemon Center, covered in dirt by this point and trying to make out which blurry six-foot figure was the one who wanted to eat her.

The humans in the nearby area were only residents with no Pokemon on them to help out, forcing them to back away near the other buildings where they hoped they wouldn't agitate the wild Ursaring, and people who had heard the noise from within the Center itself were staying inside, not wanting to get involved. Apparently Nurse Gwendolyn hadn't made her appearence yet, for it was much too quiet still.

The Ursaring was now moving in towards the little Mawile -- although that couldn't be said for her maw -- preparing to rip through the child with one more flurry of Slashes to knock her out for good. Once that was done, he could eat to his heart's content, and maybe save some for the Ursaring back in the forest.

He hadn't realized that it would only take that much effort to bring that Mawile down, even if it was just a kid, and now he was grinning smugly to himself when he noticed that no one had even tried to prevent him from slaying her.

So he continued moving forward, baring his teeth, while the Mawile on the ground remained in a daze and tried to figure out where to run next.

But,for all we know,the name for Bashshipping might be taken.>_>
Anyway,MUAHAH!!!>D
Let my clumsy-ness spread!!Spread like wild fire!!Or Feebas,like,whichever.^^

Eh,I ish too poor(and lazy for the matter) to buy christmas presents,so I'm going to do the presents myself.Maybe a few drawings ish all.
And,I just got a 'Good Progress Award' through the mail yesterday.Never knew I was good at anything except for being annoying.XP


Ic-

"Right,from what I've learned,those are the cries of a either a big Teddisura or Usaring,the other is definately a Mawile."Jena nodded,keeping a tight hold onto her Mudkip as she took the sopt beside Kayley.Waiting for the rest to move out.

{Oooh,evil training..}Cascade shuddered,the sound of the trees reminded the Mudkip of his experiances back at home.He counted the times he had been tossed around the field by the Machamp.Used as a kickball by the Hitmonlee.A punching bag for the Hitmonchan.

Of course,this was what Zhena and Jendo had intended for the Mudkip and their daughter to do.Too bad he stunk at it as much as his trainer.Remembering when Jena would get scolded while Ryne would see him well,oh,how he dreaded battle training.Ryne folded her arms,recalling their training as well.Where she would be forced to lift up great numbers of Snorlax(which were transformed from Ditto),just to strengthen her Confusion technique.Countless times had she,Cassy and Jena gotten squished by Ditto.Despite their small size,when gathered together,yes,they were heavy.The Ralts rubbed her neck,how sore it would get each day.

Tania,who was cleaning her feathers looked up,noticing that it had gotten rather quiet.

{Hey,what'z happened?I could ear' voices jus' a moment ago...}she asked,staring at the direction the sound of Mawile cries were coming from.
 
OOC:

Well, congrats for the award, Yibber. XD

Speaking of which..

I bet not a single one of you would ever have guessed that Plushie has recieved a Good Citizenship Award every year at school. XD




IC:



Kayley nodded at Jena's words, although she herself didn't know if those really were the cries of a Mawile, and either a Teddiursa or Ursaring. During her studies, she never listened to cries of Pokemon, only read about facts and abilities. Of course, she pretty much trusted Jena by this point..

Fishy tilted his head, noticing much like Tania how the profuse noise from earlier seemed to have faded.

{Get moving!} Fishy exclaimed, leaping out of Kayley arms and landing with precision onto the ground, dashing forward a few mew meters before Kayley called out in confusion.

He turned around and looked at her with the same amount of confusion, wagging his tail before turning his gaze towards everyone else.

{Well? Come on, isn't anybody else curious? Forget you guys!} Fishy exclaimed, turning around again and dashing off once more, following the path back towards the Pokemon Center and making his way out of the arena.

"Well, okay then." Kayley stated, sweat-dropping. She sighed once and muttered something under her breath before going into a brisk walk, intent on catching up to that Mudkip..
 
OOc-
Seriously,when I try to help,I end up doing something wrong and get scolded by my friends.XD
Though,that has nothing to do with Good Progress.I was sucky in my studies last year,and less sucky this year.So I improved and got 100 smackafeebas!^0^
Oh,and a piece of paper thingy.I think its called a certificate.

Good Citzenship?Right Plushie..uh...like,congrats?^^

Ic-

"My mother and father used to teach me how to tell a pokemon by its cry."Jena said,mostly for support if none of them believed her.Well,it was true,her parents were the ones that taught her,and 'used to' was correct as well.So techinicly,she wasn't lying.

{All the bruises...}Cascade continued whispering to himself,though looking up as Fishy stated that he wanted to go and check it out.

{AH!!!NO!!!TRAINING!!!}the Mudkip called out,clining onto his trainer.

The girl tried to calm the Mudfish in her hands as she followed after Kayley and Fishy.The others would catch up sooner or later either way.Tania covered her beak with one wing,staring at both of the strange Mudkip.One wanted to go towards the scary sound,while the othger,was a scary sound.
 
{ooc| *huge hugs for everyone* OMG GUYS! I love you all so much! Thank you for all your birthday wishes etc!
I really am sorry that I vanished in such a crucial time in this rolepaly...blah...I'll make up for it some other time...
Still, Kologne was brilliant. I got sung happy birthday aboutseven times, once by my close friends, once by the whole coach, and once by the fitties at the back... xDD
It was incredibly fun, especially playing football on the shuttle - that's the big train that takes cars, freights and coaches under the channel tunnel from England to Frace. We found a spare compartment and played footie (uh... Soccer to you guys?) while it was moving. Truly a brilliant experience. Wer also wrote 'clean me' on all the dirty vans and cars (and 'wasche mich' on the german ones) which was pretty stupid but pretty funny.

I even got to use my german. Ich mochte eine kleine Shildkroten bitte. I would like a small tortoise please.
Thoiugh, we stopped in a layby in France on the way back and this scary women was talking to me and I diiiiiidn't understaaaaaaand! *wails*
Anyway.... I'll type up an answer to this on WORD (omg it's working again, thanks Dad!) so expect a long wait... a summary would be nice, but no one seems to be online.... all that reading...}
 
OOC:

*ahem*



HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII CHARON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*clings*


Our lives are now complete. XD

Ah, Titan was here a little while ago.. He seems to be the expert of summaries (non-manga-wise, *cough*Yibber). ^^
 
OOc-

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
CHARON DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Niah,Flissi's computer broke down on her again.Our lives aren't complete yet.XP

Anyway..*gloats*
Yessh,I ish the bestest at Manga Summaries.>D
 
OOC: Good citizenship? Yeah, that was a bit unexpected...XD Go Plushie! I got one of them certificate thingies and money awards too...for having a "positive attitude to schoolwork" apparently. Go figure...I loathe schoolwork. I know it's important and all, but I still loathe it. <.<

EDITNESS: HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII CHARON!!! ^_________________________^


Been missing you loads we have! ^^

Oh, and summarizing? Right, I'm on it...just gimme a minute.

IC:

"Oh, don't worry." Rai replied to Jena's comment, "You will, with time. And besides, Ryne is a psychic type, no? I'm sure she can translate for you if you ask her to. Anyhow, I can't understand everything that pok?mon are saying, and I can hardly understand anything at all of pok?mon I haven't been with for a long time. But I have understood enough to know that they can talk. It's just a matter of growing accustomed to their voices and behaviour, you'll get there in time, I'm sure."

"Umm...he's right." Amelia interjected, "I-I can kind of understand Kuro, mostly because we've been together for so many years. B-but maybe...maybe some pok?mon are easier to understand than others? And...well, my grandfather taught me on how to speak with them...you know, helped me get the hang of it...so maybe that's why it's easier for me to learn..."

As Jena instantly more or less identified the pok?mon behind the strange noises, Rai found himself impressed once again. Sure, he knew how to tell his own pok?mons' cries apart from those of others, and he could even make some sense out of what they were saying, but he could hardly tell the difference between the cry of a Wailord and an Ursaring, or a Glalie and a Mawile, it was all a bunch of gibberish to him.

He wasn't allowed to ponder the matter much further however, as Fishy soon decided to set out as well, causing a chain reaction among the others that more or less led all of them to rush towards the source of the noises.

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

As the Ursaring approached its prey once more, the bustle of the crowd gathered around it grew ever louder. Even Ashura was having trouble navigating her way among the people and wrecked stands. They didn't seem to be there for any practical reason however, the Scyther noted with contempt, merely seeming to have gathered to watch the show. They were very efficient in packing themselves together, not to mention ignoring the giant mantis who would otherwise have instantly gained free space through which to pass, however, there was one person whom it just wasn't humanely possible to ignore.

"What is going on here?!"

The sharp, authoritan voice of nurse Gwendolyn cut loud and clear through the general bustle of the crowd, several startled spectators merely gaping in non-comprehension as the nurse quite bluntly shoved them out of the way in her advance on the center of the happening, her eyes narrowed to two dangerously thin slits.

"Well?!" she demanded, grabbing the closest crowd member, a skinny looking youth wearing blue shorts, a yellow t-shirt, and a blue baseball cap, and shaking him almost violently.

"I-It-it's a-an-U-Ursaring!" the youth stuttered, turning ghostly pale under Gwendolyn's veritable deathstare and pointing a shaky hand towards the bear pok?mon towering over Kinaki "It-it's, g-g-going to e-eat th-that M-M-Mawile! M-m'am!"

Gwendolyn's eyes narrowed a bit more as she promptly let go of the boy, sending him staggering backwards and onto several other spectators before she walked into plain view onto the battlefield, each one of her footsteps creating an ominous echo that travelled across the, now almost completely silent, battlefield.

"You! Ursaring!" she called straight at the bear pok?mon, glaring sternly at it despite the fact that the normal type was a good head taller than her "This has been a long day already, and I will NOT have you complicating it further by having me draw up all the paperwork for a killed Mawile and a broken sign! Do you hear me?! I WILL NOT!" she reached into a side pocket on her uniform, procuring a pok?ball and holding it up so that the Ursaring could plainly see it.

"Just one reason..." she said in a quiet, dangerous voice, glaring viciously at the bear pok?mon "Just give me one more reason to use this...I dare you."

"S-****."
Maxie's stuttered swearing seemed to echo out of nowhere. The girl and her bat had been gone for little over five minutes, and in all the commotion their disappearance hadn't been noticed.
The pair tumbled out of the shrubbery that surrounded the clearing, both looking a little shell-shocked. Maxie had tucked one gloved hand underneath her armpit; the leather was ripped, and the skin blow was stained dirty brown.
"He had a snag device." She muttered quickly, as if this sentence explained her strange predicament.
Beside her, Fang was shaking furiously.

<FLASHBACK THING, 'YO>
'Cos I can

If Fang had eyes, they would have widened to epic proportions at the sight of the snag'em machine. Of course, he hadn't evolved yet, so he still relied on sonar for sight. He had only noticed it when in fizzled and cracked – then his ears swivelled to fix on the machine like radar.
The change that came over the little pokemon was immediate, for within a second the bat seemed to explode with anger, fury, fear. Every negative emotion seemed to charge out of Fang, and Maxie had taken this as her cue to remove her bat from the scene.

"The battle's off, Zachary!" she shouted at the boy's question, and scooped Fang up in her arms. The pair disappeared off into the trees.

{That piece of crap! That bastard! That retard! YOU SAW IT, MAXIE, LET ME KILL HIM-} the bat had screamed. To the humans, and probably to the pokemon, it had just been a lot of panicked screeching. Luckily they were probably out of earshot. Only a canine could of hear Fang's cries, loud as they were. Maxie had understood every word though, and she had clasped her hand over his mouth to shut him up.
Fang's ears pricked, and he bit down hard on Maxie's glove.
Both of them cried out in pain.

</No more flashback'ing.>

"What's going on?" Maxie asked. "Aren't we…?" she trailed off. Kayley and the tohers were already walking off in the opposite direction. "This is going to be a long day, it seems…" she muttered, and followed the girls.
Fang remained perched on her shoulder, his gaze on the floor.

{ooc| Oh yeah, lookit mah smexy post with all it's fancy fonts. xDD
I have decided to grasp this moment, and use it to provide y'all with a slghtly more defined image of Maxie and Fang. Hum ho.}

Phwee! Awards all around for the things we don't like to do. XD

Good times.



IC:




It was just in time that Nurse Gwendolyn arrived, distracting the Ursaring from his final blow and forcing him to stare in confusion as the human approached without hesitation and with obvious irritability in her voice, eyes glaring dangerously and voice practically hissing pure venom.

The Ursaring couldn't help but stare in further confusion at Nurse Gwendolyn as she showed him the Pokeball, a massive sweat-drop forming as he instantly realized what the Nurse was getting at.

{What? What!? You want this stupid Mawile? Fine, you eat 'er, nasty little human!} The Ursaring snapped, suddenly shaking out of his confusion and growling a bit as he spoke. {See if I care! I'll just go back for the big one, and I'll get the last laugh! IN 'YO FACE!} The bear finished, baring his large pearly whites at the Nurse before turning away and stomping off in the opposite direction, effectively overturning a fruit stand as he made his way back towards the trees.

Kinaki blinked in confusion, now sitting up from her position on the ground, her mind-set still in a daze from the recent blow to the head.

{Mommy?} The little Mawile squeaked, peering up at Nurse Gwendolyn, seeming to forget the crowd around them. {Mommy you're so tall..}




--------




"Is.. Is that a crowd?" Kayley said once she had walked long enough to see the Pokemon Center clearly. There seemed to be a growing number of people around the front entrance to the Pokemon Center, all seeming to have gathered around the source of the noises.

{No, it isn't. You're hallucinating.} Fishy said sarcastically, still a good distance in front of his Trainer. He had stopped to wait for the others to catch up, and was now happily wagging his tail and grinning slightly in his usual manner.

Kayley said nothing more, determined to find out what was going on. And she was pretty sure the others were thinking the same.. Even though they still seemed to be behind her.

"Come on everybody, I think there's a situation up ahead." Kayley called out, although she didn't turn around to glance back, instead continuing in her approach towards the Pokemon Center, Fishy happily leaping to his feet and trying to maintain his lead.







OOC:

Well, for one thing I felt the need to type 'IN 'YO FACE' after Titan used it.. XD

Yeah,we missed ya Charon.Still,glad you had fun on your birthday!^0^

Darn the fact that I'm not home.I'd have your presents up by now.And also,don't think I can write up a summary today,since I gots no scanner.>_>

And..Feebas,Gwendolyn's like...just,scary.

Ic-

Jena nodded at Amelia and Rai,forcing a smile on her face.Yeah right,she couldn't even tell what was wrong with the Mudkip in her hands,let alone understand them.The girl hadn't notice both Maxie and Fang cry out,since Kinaki and her Usaring friend were quite very much loud.She ran behind Kayley and Rai,hoping that Maxie,Silver and Zachary were following.Cascade kept quiet,not wanting to comment on anything,glaring at the Pokemon Center as it came into view.

Tania sighed happily,now this was the way to travel,on someone's shoulder.No need for wings or anything,just resting there was enough.Though still confused why this wild Tailow had chosen to land on her shoulder since the moment she had come out from the Pokemon Center.Stuff just kept happening that forced Jena to forget about it,she had to get this Tailow off her shoulder once they found out what had happened in the town.

The girl stopped and looked at the people which had gathered around the battlefield.Jena pushed her way through the crowd,saying sorry one too many times as finally,an Usaring,Mawile and angry Gwendolyn came into her view.She caught the Nurse's last few words,instantly sweatdropping.Man,that was just,scary.
The Usaring growled at Gwendolyn probably talking to her about the Mawile on the pavement,then it trugged off.

"Oookay.What happened?"
 
OOC: Yeeees...Gwendolyn is one scary lady, isn't she? XD And yay for 'In yo face!'. Hehee...I'm a trendsetter I am! XD

IC:

For a moment, complete silence prevailed among the crowd as they tried to comprehend what had just happened. However, after the Ursaring had departed with a final, and rather disgruntled, growl, trashing one last stand in the process, one of the crowd members finally remembered what crowd members were expected to do in situations like this, slowly starting to clap his hands. As tends to be the case with crowds, the others soon followed suit, a ringing applause echoing across the streets.

Gwendolyn didn't pay it any heed however, concentrating on the wounded Mawile on the pavement instead, although obviously she had no clue of what the steel type was saying.

"What are you lot staring at?!" she snapped at the crowd, now turning a deathstare to them, "Show's over! Move out of the way and get me a trainee! This Mawile needs treatment!"

The crowd more or less fell silent again, several members beginning to grumble as if the nurse had just denied them a real treat before they scattered in all directions, returning to their bussiness.

"It-it seems like Gwendolyn is at it again..." Amelia, who had arrived at the scene with the others, commented at Jena's question. After all, the nurse was the only person Amelia knew who could possibly scare off a grown Ursaring on her own.

Rai blinked, "She really has quite a temper to her, doesn't she?" he asked, remembering the disgruntled expression that the bear pok?mon had had on its face as it fled the scene.

"Looks like this one needs some first aid." Gwendolyn said for herself, examining the wounds on the Mawile's body, "Go Blissey!" she released the pok?ball she had treathened the Ursaring with from her hand, its occupant appearing next to her in a flash of white light. It was certainly a Blissey, but its expression was, much like its trainer's, far less jolly and happy than what one might have expected, a small nurse's cap, slightly more decorative than a trainee's, was perched on its head.

"Allright, you know what to do." Gwendolyn said, nodding at the Blissey, "Use Softboiled."

The normal type nodded in return, shutting her eyes in concentration and gritting her teeth until she finally managed to force a sizeable egg into existence, lifting it up and cracking the shell open, pouring its still liquid inside into Kinaki's mouth, a good portion of the Mawile's wounds healing.

OOC: Pwhee for Softboiled's optional use! ^^ That can actually be done ingame, so yeah, although it takes HP away from the user.
