Oopsie??^^''
Gahness,after breaking through the fishytank,me brain's on the frits.XD
*laughs at self*
Darn my subconscious.

And the way Flissi writes tha she's telling me I'm the one who made the mistake,it makes Yibber feel bad.
*sits down and thinks*

PHHWHHEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!XD

Okay,now I feel better.^^

Ic-
{You're supposed to ask a question now,Yukari!!}Cascade reminded the Swablu on how the game went.

"Right,if you're done with the ointment,could you please pass it back,its kinda like a family heirloom and secrect ointment."Jena asked Sliver,extending one arm to take back the bottle.

OOc-
O.o Am..suddenly having an idea,since no many people online,I shall do,what you call,forshadowing???^^
BIc-

As Jena walked past another one of the many alleyways of the town,something stared at her through the bushes.His big yellow eyes sparkled as he listened in on their conversation ever since they got out of the big,big,building with the pokeball on top of it,the pokemon didn't know what it was called.His many,tiny legs trying not to trip over each other,the small red horn on his head was clearly visible,sticking out of the bush.
Luckily,he was a rather small-sized pokemon,so none of the humans with the girl noticed him.

{Eh?What's that??}Cascade's fin wriggled a little back and forth,sensing that somebody was near them,he pointed at the red horn sticking out from a bush they passed.

{Remember what Madam told us??Never touch stray things!}Ryne told the Mudkip,grabbed onto his tail and pulling him away from the bush.

Ooc-
Ish it obvious what pokemon ish hiding in the bushy???
 
OCC: Yibber.. needa not feel bad.. Flissie's alright with that.. Ya' misled meh so many times.. This is not the first.. Meh got used to it...

IC:

{I asked a question already.. I asked is it ok... You're supposed to answer...} Yukari smiled..

"O.. here's your oilment" Silver tossed the oilment back to Jena..

Miruka noticed Cascade and Ryne He then looked at the thingy in the bush and asked.. {Erm.. That Pokemon there.. Erm.. is it Sephy?????} recognizing the red horn to be one of the characteristics of a Ralts..

Miruka rushed to tell Silver.. Upon hearing the news about the might- be Ralts pokemon, she hurried to inform the others about about it... "Hey!! I think Miruka spotted some Pokemon that might be Sephy..."

YEHA!!!
D00ds!!!!YIBBER FINALLY MANAGED TO GET FIRS' POST ON A PAGE!!!!!!!!YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ic-
"What??"Jena took the bottle from Sliver before bending down and peering through the leaves of the bush.Two yellow eyes were staring back at her.

"Meep!!Meep!!Wur-Wur!!"the pokemon was shocked that he had been discovered,quickly jumping out of the bush and running away from the humans and their pokemon,dissapearing into the dark alley.

"What was that??"Jena poked her head out from the bush,squinting her eyes and trying to see what pokemon it was,but it had already dissapeared.

"No,it can't be Sephy,I managed to see part of it,its body was small and long,like a Caterpie or something."Jena shook her head at Sliver's statement.

{Because...Miruka's a Bagon!!}Cascade answered.

{Why is,Zach so clumsy??}Cascade followed on with a question of his own.
 
OOC: It was a Wurmple, was it not?

Stand by for IC.
 
"It's a Wurmple!! I'm sure of that!! I recognize this creature!! It IS a Wurmple" Silver exclaimed jumping up and down..

{Because Silver is overreacting again..} Yukari answered..

{Why do Silver always have to behave this way??} Yukari then asked the others...

"Wurmple!! Anyway catching it? If not.. My Pokemon are ready to battle and whited it out.. and gain some experience points!!"

Miruka cheered.. {Yay!! Battling time again!!}
 
OOC: I'm no genius, just have a good memory, me does.

Perhaps I'll be like you and do some foreshadowing later as well.



IC:


"Looked like a Wurmple 'ta me." Kayley replied to Jena absent-mindedly. She had read countless of books on Pokemon species alone, so she pretty much knew more than her fair share of Pokemon based on her position in the world.

"Come on, the port is waiting.." She said, already walking away from the group, although she paused just to make sure that the others were going to follow.

Fishy, in the meantime, had remained rooted to his spot on Kayley's shoulder, where he could easily keep track of the conversation. This question game seemed fun enough, at least until they got on this 'ferry'. Then he could tell his second story.

{I've got a question. Why am I so random?} He said, his grinning becoming mischievous as a glint appeared in his eye. This question was definitely one to ponder at for hours.
 
OOc-
Flissi,is it just me,or ish Sliver over-reacting again,the Wurmple,he's long gone.
Oooohhh..right Plushie...right...*ish being sarcastic again.XD*

Ic-
"Hey now!"Jena held out her arm,blocking Sliver's path before she could run after the Wurmple.

"This isn't supposed to be what we're doing!Anyway,the Wurmple's probably long gone now."the girl assumed,then,walked past Kayley to the port.

"What's so good about battling anyway,I don't find hurting pokemon out of pure sport enjoyable."Jena sighed,turning around and waiting for the rest to join her.

"Anyway,its what I think,so you all,please don't take it personally or anything,alright?"she told them.


{Cause' the moon ish made of cheese!!}Cascade answered,his smile broadened each time he did.

{Now,why's a blackbelt a blackbelt??}he asked,suddenly,a worried look appered on Ryne's face,biting one hand,she eyed the Mudkip carefully,making sure that he wouldn't let anything slip out of that mouth of his.
 
OOC: Yep Plushie, my family's always had pet goldfish. ^^ We used to have a big ol' tank with many fishies in it. They were so kawaii! X3 Mostly just feeder fish, but they're sometimes the cutest wittle guys. ^-^ Right now I've got a big bowl with a couple feeder fish in them. They're orange and white and they're AshII and MistyII because I was so upset when my previous fish (the ones I spoke of earlier) died. They have a cool dragon statue in their bowl. =D

You know what Plushie? You have inspired me to draw. I shall reveal my creation tomorrow. *heehee*

Anyway... Zachary is getting too much attention from girls! XD


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

"Uh... you don't need to--!" Zachary said weakly as Silver grabbed onto his aching arm and began placing the ointment on it. Then Jena got involved as well. Zachary felt a bit embarrassed about it, and remained silent through the treatment. He couldn't help but smile a bit though, traveling in a group of girls was going to be a fun experience....

Ron looked up at his trainer with an amused expression, {What're you thinking?} he said teasingly.

Zachary shot an annoyed look at his pokemon; he knew what he was suggesting, and he was thinking nothing of the sort. Just thinking of the fact that it was nice to be taken care of so well by such pretty girls.

When Silver left to give back the ointment, Zachary followed her, seeing the odd pokemon that was hiding as well. "It can't be Sephy. Wouldn't it come out if it was one of Maxie's pokemon? It wouldn't hide would it?"

Luka yawned. This was getting boring.

However the pokemon was quickly revealed as a Wurmple. Zachary smiled a bit. He suddenly remembered seeing a Wurmple for the the first time. That had been a fun day.

{Why is Zack so clumsy?} Ron repeated, smiling, {Because he likes to hurt himself!} He laughed. Though the answer was really a lie. Ron never really understood why Zachary was clumsy; it was something he rarely dicussed with the little Aron. He had always wondered though.

{And a Blackbelt is a blackbelt because it's black; the color of cool,} the Aron answered, looking proud.

"You're entitled to your own opinion Jena," Zachary said cheerfully as he walked up to the girl, "I just battle because Ron expressed an interest in it. Before that, I never even had an interest in battling. I knew how to do it, but it was rare that I did."
 
OCC: Silver overreacted..

IC:

"Eh!! Where did the Wurmple go?" Silver asked finally realizing that the Wurmple had disappeared.. She scratched her head for a while and replied to Jena's comment.. "Battling is for honing your own battling skills.. If you know completely nothing about battles and strategies.. There's no way you can win the league.." She then asked Jena.. "Can I continue walking now?"

{Hey!! I'll answer this question.. Cause black is cool and belt is not!!} Yukari answered laughing while disagreeing with Ron's answer...

Miruka noticed the change in Ryne's expression and felt curious about what black belts has anything to do with Jena..

OOC: Ooh! I've become an inspiration! FEAR ME!!! XD


IC:


"I don't mind your opinion, Jena.. But personally, I do take an interest in battling. I don't know why, maybe it was the latest trend when I got into it.. But.. After I really started getting into making up strategies and all, I really liked Pokemon Battling. What do you like, Jena? Do you like Contests, or something?" Kayley asked, becoming curious.

{Eh, the moon's not cheese.} Fishy replied to Cascade's earlier statement, letting out a yawn. {It's a hunk o' rock-like material, or so I remember..}
 
Ooc-
Ooooohh..what's Zach thinking???XD
Can't wait ta see ye creation Melissi!!^^

And,eh,Flissi,Jena walked away long ago,she was the first to walk away and head for the port!XD
Ic-

"Thanks,Zach,Kayley"Jena smiled weakly as the trainers told her that she was entitled to her own way of seeing things,before turning to Sliver.

"I don't want to win the League!"she said firmly.If it this conversation was going to be about the League,the girl did not want to have anything to do with it.The last thing Jena wanted was to participate in the Showgan League.The girl picked up her pace and the group finally reached the port.

"Wel,I've always thought that Contests were good,always wanted to participate in one too...But,well,Mama and Papa wouldn't let me."the girl sighed.

"Said I couldn't let anything interfere with my training."the girl added,under her breathe so that the rest wouldn't be able to hear her.

"Okay!Six tickets to the Mainland!"she told them,trying to get the coversation away from herself,before lining up to buy the tickets and the counter.

{Hey!!No one's asking a question!!Ryne!You ask the next question!!}Cascade hopped over to the Ralts,who immediately snapped back to the present.

{Why...Why..}the Ralts started off,trying to think of something to keep the conversation away from her,but then,a real question appeared in her head.

{Do..Do you all like battling??}
 
Meanwhile, along the edge of Azure Forest...



It had been a long day.

The Gastly had been moping about the route for a while now, scaring random people who happened to pass by, and all of them ran back towards the port, too scared to release their Pokemon and fight, so that they could move on towards Azure Town.

This route led through the forest, and was the only way to get to Azure Town, but not many people were coming by today. And the Gastly was growing bored of trying to buy herself into an adventure.

Now the route had fallen silent, no more people had tried to pass through, and the port's ferry, which had been at the dock a ways down the road, had already left on its return to Zephyr Town. That meant that Pokemon Trainers probably wouldn't be running through the area until the ferry came back.

The forest was silent as well, for despite what most people thought, it was filled to the brim with Ghost Pokemon, most of which were shy beings that rarely ventured out. As far as she knew, only the Gym Leader in Azure Town knew of their presence, as well as a few quiet residents there. It didn't matter, though, for right now, she was only concerned with the Trainers. People who could raise Pokemon to their full potential in battle -- People who could get her far away from this place.

Suddenly, another Gastly materialized in the air next to the previous one.

{Hazy.. What are you still doing here? The Council is becoming concerned.. They fear that you're going off the deep end..} The second Gastly muttered, a worried tone in its voice, obviously.

The first Gastly, obviously Hazy, made a face.

{I've already told you several times before. I'm looking for a so-called Pokemon Trainer to challenge me. You know it has always been my dream to leave this place.} Hazy replied. {If I get caught, then it must mean that the person who has captured me is the one that I am meant to leave with. They will make me stronger.. Bring me to my full potential!} By now, the Gastly's eyes were sparkling. {I am certain that I do not belong here. My destiny is on an adventure, like the ones that humans have! The only way for me to find the human for me is to hang out here, until one of them fights back! And if they win, then they are the one human that's meant for me!}

{You're crazy.} The other Gastly spat before Hazy could continue. If one was listening closely, they'd realized that the tone of Hazy's voice seemed more feminine than that of the other Gastly's. {The Council isn't pleased with you as it is; you've tried to pull this more than enough times. I'm warning you, Hazy, you could really get into trouble for this one. And I don't think Mama would be too happy about that. When the Council's through with you, that won't be the least of your concerns compared to Mama.} The other Gastly hissed.

Hazy blinked, her expression flat. {Now that you mention it.. Tell Mama I said good-bye, and that I'll never forget her.}

Enraged, the other Gastly furiously charged up a Shadow Ball, intending on snapping his sister to her senses, but then decided against it, the ball of darkness quickly evaporating.

{I cannot even begin to imagine the regret you will feel in the future. I tried to warn you more than enough times, and yet you continue on with your ignorance. Later days, my sister..} The other Gastly trailed off, closing his eyes in sorrow before drifting backwards, slowly vanishing into the forest.

Hazy rolled her eyes, then sighed. He had a point, but she was sure that today was the day that her destined Trainer would come. Then she'd get the last laugh.

Before she could ponder further, she turned around and spotted another Trainer up ahead; a young boy with a Pidgey riding on his head.

Hazy grinned, revealing her fangs. Vanishing much like her brother had, she prepared for her next scare.
 
OCC: Silver is abit blur.. And Flissie always misreads.. and skips reading some parts.. This is meh last post for now.. Will turn up for the posting spree tonight.. Edit the post later after this.. And Zach isn't getting all that cause the girls like him.. It's cause they don't want someone who's hurt to delay the journey.. So the sore arm need to undergo some proper care..

IC:

{Yep... We all like battling alot.. it hones our skills like what Silver had said.. And it let us gain experience and grow stronger.. I can't wait to evolve to my final stage} Miruka answered to the question for the very first time...

{And I also can't wait to become an Altaria.. Maybe then, I can return back to the gym instead of staying here with Silver..} Yukari answered after Miruka...

Silver was surprised by Jena's reaction about battling and the league.. "Do you need to give such a big reaction.. I didn't ask you to join the league.. I'm just giving my point of view about battling.. No one asked you to join the league..." she said to Jena.. This is making her blood boil.. Been scolded for no reason..

OCC: Okay.. You all must understand that Silver thinks that the way Jena spoke to her is scolding..
 
{Do I like battling?} Fishy repeated the question aloud. {Well, of course! I wouldn't have spent years of practicing with Kayley if I didn't like battling!} Fishy replied, as if the answer were obvious. Yawning, the Mudkip thought of actually drifting off to sleep, before remembering how awfully interesting the people around him had proved to be, deciding to stay awake on Kayley's shoulder.

"How much do the tickets cost? I'd like to pay for them." Kayley asked Jena as she hurried over to the counter, fumbling around in her sling bag with her one free hand, hoping to find her wallet soon.
 
Ooc-
Plushie,I randomly noticed that last week,your nature was Hasty,few weeks ago,it was Relaxed,if my memory's working properly..
Now,its Jolly??!

Wowies!!^^
Random,just,Random!!

Nice foreshadowing...me thinks me's gonna like Hazy!^^

Ic-
"So,you want six tickets to Azura Town am I correct?"the young lady with short,shoulder-length,red hair and wearing a pair of thicky-rimmed glasses at the counter asked Jena,typing on the computer next to her as she did.

"Right!And,would you mind telling me how long the trip takes?"the girl asked sweetly,placing some money she had stole-uh...borrowed from her family's vault before setting off.

"Nah-uh!You can pay me later!"Jena told Kayley,who was still looking for her wallet.

"It'll take an hour and a half,arriving at dock no.11 in the next ten minutes."the lady replied absent-mindely taking the money and placing six tickets on the counter.

Cascade,jumped onto his trainer's shoulder,and onto the counter,instantely freaking the lady out.
"Ah!!!Keep your pokemon off the counter,Miss!"she shouted,getting off the chair she was sitting on,backing away from the Mudkip.

"Cassy,get down now,we'll be leaving soon!"the girl scolded the Mudkip,who nodded and jumped off the counter.

"Right."Jena took the tickets and started to walk back to the group,taking note of the way Sliver stared at her.

"Miss!You need to pay for the pokemon's tickets as well!!"

"What??"this really pushed Jena off balance,when had pokemon needed tickets?Probably since she was born,this really was one of the few times she ventured out of her mansion.

"Um..Sliver..are you angry at me again?"Jena asked the girl,not bothering to reply to the counter lady.

{I see...}Ryne nodded,taking in what the pokemon around her said about battling.

Ooc-
Okay,weirdly,me dad asked me ta go and call me mom(who's at work)
You know what I did?
I went into the kitchen and opened the fridge.o.0
Took me five seconds to ask myself what the Feebas I was doing at the fridge.XD
 
OCC: Rofl.. Yay!! Yibber's normal again.. That's the way Yibber has always been.. Anyway, I think one more post won't hurt, I can't bring myself to leave the computer..

IC:

"Nah.. I'm not angry.. I mean.. I don't know.. I mean I am.. I mean it's not that I'm angry.. I mean.. I.. seriously.. don't.. know.." Silver answered.. She then turned towards the lady at the counter.. I think I'll pay for all the Pokemon.. Taking out a few hundred Pokedollars and putting them at the counter.. "That should be enough.."

{Hey!! No more questions? Never mind.. I'll ask one... Why did Silver volunteer to pay for all of us Pokemon?} Yukari asked..

{Because she's a great and caring person..} Miruka answered..

{Yeah.. Silver's a great and caring person.. NOT.. If she is.. she wouldn't have make me lose my position as a gym leader's Pokemon.. Now I'm stuck with her forever..} Yukari replied sarcastically..

While waiting for the tickets to be processed and so.. Silver turned back to Jena.. "Actually you don't have to care about whether I'm angry or not.. It wouldn't do you much good to care about how the others feel.. You'll be the one who's losing out in the end.."
 
OOC: Eh, dun worry Flissie, I know that the girls aren't helping Zack because they like him, and so does he. But he is a teenage boy, and he does have hormones, and he's bound to have more than one thought about them seeing as he's never been surrounded by a group of girls before. XD It's harmless though. You should see Alter and Charon in PS, they're much worse than Zack. ^___^ *pokes Alter and Charon because of their cute characters*

Meh... can't think of anything to write... I'll probably show up again sometime later. I won't be hanging around for the posting spree though... I ish sleepy and I only got like 4 hours of sleep last night. It's at that time of the year here when the weather is niether cold or hot, and I can't get comfy. >_>

And Plushie's inspirational drawing is turning out very cute! It is quite Lanturn-ish without me meaning it to be. ^.^;

Anyway, later!
 
Haiz.. posting spree won't be the same if you won't be around.. we'll miss ya'.. Never mind.. Cya.. I'm logging off soon too..

And you're drawing a Lanturn? Yay!! It reminds meh of meh cute, little, strong and powerful Lanturn.. desire! I can't post some ICs yet.. Nothing to post about.. *waits for Yibber's IC*
Well.. everyone here is a good artist cept for meh.. I just suck at drawing.. I totally can't draw..
 
OOc-
Yayness!600th post!

And yeah Flissi,not knowing what I'm doing ish definately Yibberish!^^

Lunch!The food...its calls the Yibber!!!
I be back after me lunch!!

Ic-
"Sometimes,I also don't know what I'm doing,its okay."Jena smiled,while looking as Sliver payed for the pokemon.

"I'm paying you back."the girl added.

The counter lady nodded,taking the money and gesturing them towards the left of the docks.

"Dock 11 is there.Thank you."the lady told them,before turning away to help another man with a map in one hand,scratching his head.Probably a tourist.

{I'm sure Sliver's a nice girl,but,I guess that Luka can relate to you.}Ryne told Yukari,gesturing to the Zigzagoon.

"And,why would I be losing out in the end,pray tell?"Jena eyed Sliver as she spoke to her.Truthfully,the girl herself didn't know why she cared for others.

"I'll care if I want to care!And,you can't stop me,besides,its in my nature,I guess,to like caring."Jena told Sliver,hoping that the girl wouldn't start being angry with her again.

OOc-
Now.now Flissi,everyone's good at something!^^
