OOC: Heheh, couldn't help fallin' asleep, ya know.

Ooh.. And Titan, was that why you always spelled Swampert like that? To annoy Yibber? XD


IC:


Kayley hadn't really been paying attention to the conversation, but was actually getting inspiration. All these mixed emotions in the air that were constantly changing as the conversation itself switched subjects were enough to give her an idea for a bit of music to write later, if she could remember, that is, when they got through the day.

So, she really didn't say anything much, but seemed to instead be observing in silence until finally she decided to speak up.

"So.. We're good to go, then. Maxie just has to sign up if she wants to, unless you're not going to sign up." Kayley said, almost absent-mindedly, various melodies still floating about in her head.

Fishy didn't really have much to say either, but at least he was remotely paying attention to the conversation. He couldn't help but finally comment at the fact that Chupon was about to use an old saying before being cut off by Rai.

{You guys know a lot of old sayings,} He said, almost randomly, {I don't know many. If Kay-Kay ever tried to teach me, I'd be paying attention to something else. Like the T.V., for example. Especially if it was on the Psychology network.} The Mudkip finished, grinning.

That was when he noticed that Zigzagoon had climbed down from her post in Zachary's arms, and was now sitting reluctantly next to Ron.

{Hello..} Fishy began again, turning to face her. {I be Fishy, and I must say that your friend is very shiny. That is all.} He concluded, before running back towards Chupon.

Maxie picked up her own form, and stared at it. God, this was yet another occassion in which her illteracy was a serious problem. "Oh, I've already signed up." she said confidently. "The form I used was pink, these must be phot copies...."
She glanced to Fang That was another thing Mac would have to do for her later... sign her up for this league.

{ooc| I keep missing these posts... xP}
 
OOC: Back for a little while. ^-^


Zachary
--------------

"Cool, it'll be nice to travel in a group while we train up a bit. Being by yourself can get kinda lonely sometimes," Zachary said cheerfully. Zigzagoon wasn't trying to kill anyone, he had made some new friends, and he hadn't knocked anything over yet.

"Ah! Oops...." A pile of pokemon magazines in the center's lobby slid off of an endtable and onto the floor. Ron lended a hand and knocked some of them over to Zachary's hands, now searching on the ground for them all.

The boy frowned, "Stupid me... I always do this around people. I never act this way at home by myself." He grumbled some more as he placed the last one back onto the small table in a crooked pile. Zachary thought the pile looked alright; he always liked things a little messy.

Zigzagoon raised her bushy eyebrows at Fishy's comment. {Friend? My dear, that metallic beast is the reason I lost my freedom. But I thank you for your comment; I suppose I should try and calm down a bit,} she said, taking a few steps towards the little pokemon she was addressing, {I have a name too. My name is Rhuluka. Luka for short.}
 
OOc-
HI MELISSI!!!!XD
Oh...Melissi and Charon got problems with the hands too?
They are killers,those evil hands,I can't seem to get the right shape for the thumbs..X.X
Yep,Flissi ish missing a lot ain't she?
Don't worry your Feeba's off though,she's coming back from her trip to Hong Kong this afternoon,and Yibber'll give her a summary of wha happen.

(Yes Plushie,Titan ish out to get Yibber with the scary spelling of his Swampert.0.o..XD)

Ic-
Jena couldn't help but smile at Maxie as the girl took her hand.

"Don't worry,we all have to let off some steam here and there,now and again,I don't mind,really,I don't."she told the girl.

{Oh...who are you?Now you on the floor,I can talk to you yes??}Cascade walked up to Zigzagoon and asked her.

{I'm Cascade!!!}the little Mudkip said with utmost optimisim.

{I'm Ryne,very pleased to meet you...Luka.}Ryne curtsied as the Zigzagoon introduced herself to Fishy,feeling much better now that Maxie had calmed down.

Jena smiled as Zachary bent down to pick up the magazines scattered around the floor,the girl would've helped too,but the boy got them all back on the table before she even had a chance to bend down.

"Some people act differently around other people,don't fret.I don't mind..your...what do you call it?."the girl told the boy as he and the Aron placed the magazines back onto the table,placing a finger on her chin.

"Clumsiness!"

OOC: Ah! Hello Yibber!!! ^-^

OMG! I used big letters!! XD

And good, I'm glad Flissie will be back soon. I forgot she was in Hong Kong. I hope she's had fun. I want to go there myself someday. ^^


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

"Clumsiness," Zachary smiled at Jena, nervously laughing, "Yeah, that's what I call it. It seems to happen when I'm at parties, at school around girls I think are cute, or around guys that look like they want to beat me up. Yep, quite a lot." This was true, though many people began to dislike him for his clumsiness after they knew him for a while. Especialy at school.

{Hello, nice to meet you,} Luka said gruffly, {I suppose there's no reason to be rude to you nice people; it's just him I really don't like.} She shot daggers with her look at Zachary. Zachary was talking to Jena though and didn't notice. But Ron had.

{Hey now, Zack may be an idiot at times, but I'm sure that after a while, you'll come to like him,} Ron said, frowning under his helmet.

{Whatever. I won't forgive him for taking away my freedom,} Luka concluded, turning back to the other pokemon, {Anyway, it's interesting meeting a Mudkip and a Ralts. You don't see pokemon like you two in the city much.}
 
OOc-
Really?Melissi ish isn't she??
Could she be stealing Yibber's patterns?
No,tha's Titan,not Melissi.^^
Me thinks me's influencing all youse dudes.
Cool!XD

Ic-
Jena felt a litte taken aback from saying that Zachary was clumsy.Hearing the way he told her.It didn't seem right.Forcing a fake smile as he mentioned that he was clumsy around cute girls.

"Right,Kayley and Maxie are cute,aren't they?"she said teasingly.

{Him?}Cascade noticed the boy as Luka introduced herself.

{He doesn't look so bad,bet you'll like him once you know him better!!}Cascade smiled to the Zigzagoon,looking at her seemingly 'funny' fur.It had so many zig-zags and brown.The little Mudkip bounced up and down once before turning to nudge Ryne,who'd begun thinking about something else.

{Quite right.}Ryne snapped back into the conversation and nodded in agreement to Luka's last statement.

{Me and Cassy don't normally get to see any pokemon other than Fighting types.It's nice meeting all of you,really.}the Ralts smiled,before turning away again,rubbing her small chin with one hand.Her face furrowed with concentration.

{Just cause' he catches you,doesn't mean he's takin' away your freedom you know.}Cascade told the Zigzagoon absent-mindely,sitting on the floor of the pokemon center as yawn escaped him.

OOC: *notices big letter usage*

....I never should have started that. Now it's coming back to haunt me! XD



IC:



Kayley had fallen silent again, her mind not particularly focused on the conversation. She was still aware of the happenings around her, it was just that she was purely concentrating on writing a song at the moment. She didn't find herself particularly good at doing so, but she felt she should at least write her ideas down, so that it wouldn't just stay cooped up in her head.

Fishy turned back towards the Zigzagoon, now registered as Luka in his mind, happy that another Pokemon had entered the conversation. He waited until after Cascade and Ryne had introduced themselves to make a comment.

{Of course you wouldn't see us around the city.} He said, referring to himself as well as Cascade and Ryne. {Well, I'm mostly just sure about that when it comes to me. Kay-Kay lives out of town. And that Zach guy caught ya, eh?} The Mudkip continued, pausing. He himself had never been 'caught', so he really had no idea what the experience was like.

{I don't know what that's like, exactly.. But I'm sure that he didn't mean to hurt you in any way.. Give 'em a chance.} He concluded. His words seemed somehow out-of-character, based on what had happened so far.. But that feeling ended as Fishy seemed to revert back to a happy-go-lucky mood, grin spreading wide once more.

{Now, who votes we should find a smoothie stand?}
 
Ooc-
Aw,come on Plushie,*randomly pokes with a Feebas plushie*
>D

Ic-
{Oh,smoothies!!}Cascade's eyes sparkled at the wonders of the colorful drink had to offer.(XD)

Then,the Mudkip got onto his legs again and continued talking.

{You come from out of town too?We sure do!But not that far from here,infact,we live at the Mi-}Cascade was cut short as Ryne covered his mouth with her hand.

{The Milotic's pond?Honestly Cascade,we don't live at the pond with all those wonderfuly elegnat creatures,we reside in the house down the road from the pond.}the Ralts said nervously,remembering that her trainer didn't want anyone to find out who they were.

{He gets a little mixed up,since Jena likes taking us there,she loves beautiful pokemon.}the Ralts whispered to Luka,Chupon,Fishy and Fang..wondering anyone else was listening in.

Confused,the Mudkip bit Ryne's hand.

{What was the meaning of that!!Why did you have to go and do such an unruly thing Cascade??}the Ralts asked,resisting the urge to scream 'ouch' infront of the pokemon,instead,she sucked her hand in her mouth.Feeling rather flustered.

{I couldn't breathe Ry!}Cascade replied,not understanding why the Ralts just did that.

Was this some sort of game that the Mudkip was out of?

{Yeah,we go down to the pond,but those funny Milotic's so shy,we rarely see them!}the Mudkip played along,completly oblivious to the real reason why they'd just lie about where they came from.

{Smoothies!}

Ooc-
Edit-
FLISSI'S BACK,YAYNESS!!^^*dances around the room*

And,me was feeling bored and all a while ago,so me randomly found a link to the Sloganizer while browsing,urge to type 'Ruby'.
You know what I got?
'I love Ruby' o.0
Freaky yes.
Scary,no.
Cool?Of course!!!!XD
*huggles Ruby plushie*

OOC: Fine...

Go ahead...

I slave and slave at school...

And you lot take the opportunity to leave me in the dust...

*Sulks*

Okay, it passed. ^_^ It's just that I've been having quite an awful day. Tsk, I had to wake up at eight and the weather's been real lousy over here, so dark and rainy you can't tell 8 AM and 3 PM apart. <_< On top of that, I had a two-hour Physics test right in the morning. A big one. One which will be decisive when determining my grade in the subject. And I'm positive I blew it. Bad. >_< I hate siences...-_-

It's a good thing that Flissie's coming back at least. Anyhow, onto RPing...

IC:

As he watched Zachary's fumbling with the magazines and listened to his consequent explanation, Rai felt rather sorry for the boy. In the world that Rai came from elegance, manners, and grace were as important for social survival as wealth and a good family name and one of the few things that his parents had agreed on wholeheartedly was that teaching them to Rai commanded a very high priority. It had certainly left its mark, you could shake up the boy from his sleep in the middle of the night and he would still be capable of performing a formal introduction complete with a flourishing bow, all in accordance with the rules of etiquette. All were not so skilled however, the boy had learned, those who lacked the potential for such were unavoidably shut out of the highest social circles, no matter how wealthy they were, and were subjected to scathing remarks at posh celebrations. Rai could only imagine what it had to feel like when people were laughing behind your back.

"But of course" he said, concuring with Jena's remark "Charming ladies all around. Or is this nervousness of yours there because I look like I'd like to beat you up?" he asked jokingly.

{Yeah, you're being too hard on him Luka.} Chupon said, finally joining into the conversation between the pokémon {Besides, being caught isn't all that bad really. I mean, you've always got your trainer to look out for you, a guaranteed place to sleep, and you get fed regularly.} he tilted his head {Isn't that better than living out in the street? Ashu always said that getting caught was the best accident that ever happened to her.}

The Treecko fell silent again as the conversation moved onward to...smoothies.

{I vote for smoothies too.} he proclaimed, briefly raising his right front paw into the air. As Cascade and Ryne began talking about Milotics, the little gecko perked his ears. He had heard of Milotics before. Rai had always said that they were so beautiful and elegant and shown him all the pictures and paintings of the serpentine pokémon that he could procure, leaving the little gecko's imagination full of wild ideas about meeting the elusive creatures.

{There are Milotics somewhere around here?} he asked, looking at Cascade with newfound interest {Could we...you know...maybe go and see them?}
 
OCC: Ole!! I'm back!! YAY!! Well better catch up abit.. Wait.. where are all of ya'? Pokemon center right?

IC:

"Hmm.. I think I need the town map.." Silver digged into her jeans pocket... "Just where is it?" she muttered..

Meanwhile, as Silver was busy digging for the town map.. Yukari turned around and spotted a group of trainers talking away.. She got pretty attracted to the particular Pokemon that belonged to one of the trainers there.. She just flew towards the Pokemon and accidentally landed of one of the male trainer's hands...

"Aha! I finally found the map!! Yukari, Miruka, let's go!!" she turned around only to find her Swablu missing. "YUKARI!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. "IT'S NOT TIME FOR HIDE AND SEEK!!!" she continued... She looked around and so happened to see Yukari in another trainer's arms.. The trainer was a boy who is tall and slender... He had shoulder- length blonde hair and was wearing white shirt matched with a pair of black pants.. He looked pretty well groomed.

She stomped towards that trainer and tapped him on the shoulder. "Ahem!! If you don't know how to catch a Pokemon, I can help you catch one. You don't have to resort to stealing MY Pokemon right?" she said full of anger..

OOC: Hiii Flissie! ^_^

Nice re-entry post, although you could maybe specify which female trainer was in question. Just do a little describing, trust me, it works. Just take a look at the character sheets for the necessary adjectives and whatnot.
 
OCC: HIYA ALTER!! Shan't use block letters.. Later Yibber nag.. Well.. I edited it to be you.. It supposed to be Yibber.. but she isn't online now.. And okay.. off to add the description a little... And thanks for the so-called compliment..
 
OOC: It still says 'her'. XD Aww...me little boy's masculinity is in question. ^_^ Yeah, somehow I figured it would be Yibber but it's always good to specify just in case so that things don't get confused. Even now, the post could just as well suit Melissa's char. Well, I have to say that it's good writing otherwise. Just needs those adjectives. Anyhow...

IC:

"Hmm?" Rai tilted his head, turning to watch the strange Swablu that had suddenly decided to settle on his hand and seemed to be observing the group with quite a bit of intrest, obviously used to the presence of people the flying type was undoubtedly trained. Rai was about to ask the pokémon where its trainer was when the answer presented itself in the form of a young girl...the gender might have been a tad hard to discern at a first glance because of the biker's helmet covering her hair but her voice, angry though it was, had a distinctively feminine tone to it. Not to mention that it would be unlikely in the extreme to find a boy of that age wearing anything pink.

"Stealing is it?" he asked politely, looking down at the girl in a fairly calm manner "Perhaps if you were a better trainer your pokémon would want to stay with you instead of flying of to strangers." he flicked the wrist of the hand that Yukari was perching on slightly in an attempt to make the Swablu return to its trainer "But unpleasantries aside. It was never my intention to steal from you." he added, his voice now sounding slightly harder than usual. There was a great deal of things that Rai could stand, but there was something in being accused of stealing that really rubbed the boy the wrong way. It was quite simply an insult to his honour, and no matter how free-thinking he might have been that value had been etched into the boy's mind since his early childhood. "And I would suggest that you think more carefully before making such accusations."

Chupon tilted his head, there was something definitely Ashuraish in Rai's words. Almost as if he was channeling the Scyther's spirit for the moment. Although of course, he reasoned, Rai was so unused to being anything but friendly that he obviously had to take his speech patterns from those he had heard using them. And it wasn't like there were any other sources than Ashura around at the LeBlaque manor.

It seemed like the boy had come to a realization quite similar to his pokémon's however as his expression suddenly softened again, the old Rai returning. "I'm sorry." he said, "It's just that accusations of stealing...they get to me. But I am forgetting my manners." he took a step back, bowing to the girl "I am Raistlin, Rai for short. And this here is my partner, Chupon." he gestured towards the Treecko "What is your name?"
 
Silver was totally surprised at the way the Rai had reacted to her accusation. "Well... I'm still not really sure whether you have any intention on doing that or whatsoever.. Well.. I'm not one who bear grudges.. I'll let you off this time.." she told Rai as she gently carried Yukari off Rai's arms.. "And it's not that I mistreat my Pokemon.. It just so happen to be a gift from someone else.. And this Pokemon is still not that comfortable with me..." she suddenly burst out saying.. "Erm.. O.. before I forget.. My name is Silver and this is my Pokemon, Yukari and Miruka" as she pointed out her Pokemon... Then she extended a hand of greeting.. "Nice to meet you!!"
 
{ooc| *has also been slaving at school* I had a pretty good day, actually. I doodled and coloured a bird and a girl, which was pretty cool considoring I only had orange, red and yellow pencils. In Art my teacher gave me a commendation (..uh... a merit? xP) for good course work, and in English I got given a tube of smarties for my great prose piece! I also wrote a limerick, which I shall chant if the need arises. I also had Maths... which I hate! So I mucked around and drew a treecko and got laughed at.
Oh, and I had physics, which I find really easy and boring so I did some more drawings. xD My friends were all: 'Ooooh, Sare, we're so jealous of your skiiiills!' It was a good day.}

Maxie really hadn't said much for the last few minutes. She had refrained from kicking Jena in the shins about the whole 'cute' comment - even though she sorely wanted to hurt that girl, who Maxie assumed was taking the mick, as much as possible. She was hardly an angelic little cherub, or an alluring goddess for that matter, and it had always been a rather sore subject for Maxie. Despite her 'I couldn't care less' appearence, she always found herself coverting the other girl's elegant clothes, and hair, and God knows what else. She traced a finger along her face, feeling the ridges and scars on her forehead and temple. Maxie was about to come up with a stinging retort, when a girl came charging in, and leapt at Rai. Maxie hadn't even noticed the Swablu appear. She didn't bother to introduce herself, and simply watched this newcomer with a look of unease on her face.

Fang bowed and screeched happily. {Nice to meet you!} He doubted she'd understand, though.
 
OOC: Oh wait.. Alter, so you've been slaving at school? What do you think we all do during the week? XD

Oh well.. Sounds like the king of all exams right there.. XD



IC:


Kayley was quite confused as she spotted the unfamiliar Swablu flying over, landing on Rai's hand. The girl tilted her head, knowing that their group was certainly about to become larger.

Before she could ponder on the thought that there was a possibility that the Swablu was wild, a girl (well, the helmet was pink) stomped over to Rai, accusing him of stealing her Swablu. Bam, that killed whatever doubt was in Kayley's mind (about the Swablu possibly being wild).

Eventually, after Rai had reacted a little harshly, and the girl had introduced herself, Kayley decided to join the little conversation.

"Hello.. Your name is Silver? Cool, my name is Kayley." She said, turning towards the girl, waving slightly with her free hand.


{Ooh! New guys!} Fishy said, abruptly stating his reason for turning away from the other Pokemon on the ground.

His eyes seemed to gain that scheming look to them again as they fell on Silver, then shifted to the Swablu, apparently Yukari, that was now in her arms.

{Hiya!} He chirped, aiming his exclamation to the Swablu. {I be Fishy! And right now we're talking about smoothies! And Milotics for some reason!} He babbled on.

OCC: Plushie.. spelling error..It's Yukari Don't tell meh ya' "plushieterized" the word..

IC:

Surprised by the sudden greeting of another girl who introduced herself as Kayley.. Silver returned the greeting with a slight wave of hand followed by an introduction of her Pokemon.. "Well.. this are my companions.. Yukari and Miruka... You probably overheard it just now.. Well.. It's a pleasure to meet you here.."

"Whoa.. Master made adventuring sound easy... It's like so.. tough.. Having to greet so many people.. I should have stayed back in the gym to train more..." she thought to herself..

Meanwhile, Yukari was always busy introducing himself.. {Hey!! Me is Yukari.. Me from Fortree.. and me thinks that it's nice meeting you here... }
 
OOC: Eh, the name is actually Yukari, Plushie. XD Oh, and it's a bit of a freaky coincidence...because I used to have this RP character called Yikari who was called - you guessed it - Yukari for quite some time by the other RPers. Yeah, scary stuff...o_O

And doodling is fun. I actually drew an almost halfway decent sketch of a Dunsparce during today's Finnish lesson. (Gawd, those lessons are so boring. I'm in B2 which is meant for foreigners because of the stupid way in which the course system is planned even though I'm actually a native finnish speaker. -_-) Dunsparce is kawaii, and pretty easy to draw too methinks. ^^

IC:

"Nice to meet you too, Silver." Rai replied, politely shaking the hand offered to him, surpressing what little urge he had to make a comment about the grudge thing, considering that he hadn't in fact done anything whatsoever to deserve the accusations and noting that he had recieved no apology for them. But no matter, he really wasn't in the mood for a fight. "Might I ask what that helmet is for?" the boy said at last, hoping that his question hadn't struck a nerve. It just seemed so utterly strange to him to see someone wearing a helmet indoors.
 
Silver was really shocked by the sudden question shot by Rai.. She randomly gave a really dumb reply.. "Erm.. It's the trend.. Ya' know? The t..r...e...n..d!"

"How can I ever tell anyone what lies beneath this helmet.. she thought.. "They'll definitely laugh over it.. Then... well..." she thought to herself.. feeling unsure of how she should handle the current situation..
 
Fang had been poking Maxie hard in the neck while the other trainers exchanged words. Eventually, she gave in.
"Okay, okay, Fang! Stop poking me, dammit!" she waved her hand at him, and the little bat took flight and hovered in the air to avoid being slapped. Maxie turned to Silver, a bitter look on her face. "I'm Maxie, that's Fang, nice to meet you, yadda yadda." she said in a deadpan voice, acting in the same cold way she had adressed the other trainers a while ago.
"God..." she muttered, glancing to the clock, "we've stood here chatting for ages..."
Maxie was quite happy to laze around on her own; she was more than used to sitting around with a can of coke while waiting for the next job. However, he had a mission now, to track Rai, and currently he was doing nothing at all. Except faffing.

{ooc| Fliss's character is bald! Ha ha ha! *laughs meanly* >=D}
