Uhm...is there still a spot I could SU for?
 
OOC I took control of some NPCs I hope that is ok... If not I'll edit my post.... fixed font color on request OOC

Sindri had arrived in Littleroot just as the sun was rising on the town. He had found Professor Birch's lab after asking an early morning jogger where it was. The woman seemed concerned about Sindri being alone and asked him where his parents where. He had lied to her telling her his parents were still asleep in their hotel room they had gotten late last night. Truth is he had travelled here alone. After several other annoying questions from the woman she finally showed him the lab, which was still closed much to Sindri's irritation. So Sindri stood right outside the doors leaning of the building's door frame with his fake smile hiding his impatience. "At least I'm the first one here so I get first pick," thought Sindri as he waited for the man who was giving out Pokémon to help start trainers off.

After waiting for several hours' two men approached the building from what Sindri could detect one was a scrawny man wearing a full lab coat and glasses while the other stocker man wore a shorter jacket, shorts, and had a large bag thrown over one shoulder. They stopped when they saw Sindri who faced them while standing up straight. Sindri greeted them with his sly smile and said in a polite voice, "Are one of you gentlemen the one who is assisting new trainers by giving out a "starter" Pokémon?"

The stocker man replied in a pleasant voice as he opened the door, "Yes, I am Professor Birch and I do have a few Pokémon to choose from, but I'm afraid I don't have any Torchics, Mudkips, or Treechos… but I have several Pokemon caught from the local area instead. They are good ones don't worry." He then entered the lab with his associate following right behind him when heading off to the left toward a computer. Sindri followed behind them with his hands in his pockets and used a pulse of psychic energy the two men would be unable to detect to feel the inside of the building. On both sides of the entrance were computer stations; on the left were several full book cases, and a large machine was on the right. Sindri then asked, "You have any Psychic types?"

Birch replied while smiling, "Yes… a female Ralts." The Professor then walked over to a table against the far wall and looked at several pokeballs until he found the one with a Ralts label on it. He then handed Sindri the Pokeball saying, "The Ralts is the Feeling Pokemon, and it can detect the feelings of humans and pokemon. I'm sure she'll get along easily with a cheerful boy like you." Birch's voice was full of optimism as Sindri took the pokeball. Sindri looked up at the man with his closed eyes and asked in a pleasant voice that seemed to be slightly mocking, "Who said I was cheerful?" Before Birch could respond to Sindri's comment, Sindri hit the button on the Pokeball causing it to open and the 1 foot 4 inch Ralts appeared on the floor between them.

The Ralts looked around and saw her new trainer in front of her. His smile seemed to melt away a bit of her shyness, but then she felt his emotions. Something was wrong with his boy… his emotions revealed a darker side hidden behind the false smile. His emotions toward her were some sort of sick pleasure of now having control over her. Terror mixed with her timid nature and she began to back away from Sindri slowly looking up at Birch with a look of unease.
Birch's smile wilted as he said, "She doesn't seem to... um… like you. Perhaps you would like to pick one of the others."

Sindri kneeled down close to the Ralts and said pleasantly while ignoring Birch, "What should I name you…. Hmmmm… how about Fircia?" He then used telepathy to talk to the Ralts revealing his own psychic powers to her, "I'm Sindri the psychic and I'm going to be your new master." The Ralt's eyes got big as she turned back to look at the boy who was also a psychic. Meanwhile Birch said with a nervous edge to his voice as he moved toward the Ralts a little, "You sure you don't want to look at the other Pokémon you might find one that matches you better."

Sindri continued to ignore the Professor and said, "Fircia it is then… " He then reached out and picked up the Ralts with both hands. Standing up again while holding the fearful Ralts (the Ralts is facing toward Birch) at chest level with both hands, Sindri finally acknowledged Professor Birch again by saying in a polite voice, "No need to show me the others. I've chosen Fircia here… I'm sure she'll get used to me soon enough."
Birch frowned and said half heartedly, "Ok… take good care of her also here is a Pokedex… it helps me with my Pokemon research and should help you with identifying Pokémon out in the world." He looked at the Ralts with a look that said sorry, but the Ralts looked down hiding her eyes.

The Fircia just looked down as tears swelled up in her eyes as Sindri shifted her to one hand so he could take the pokedex from Birch… She had hoped to be given to a kind trainer who would become her best friend. Instead she was now stuck with some strange psychic with dark feeling about him. Also earlier she had tried to run when he reached for her, but he held her in place with some psychic ability. Would he continue to use his own powers to dominate her? Nothing but fear swelled up inside Fircia as Sindri said in the same pleasant yet somehow to Fircia creepy voice, "Now it's time to begin our adventure together… just me and you Fircia." The last part sent a chill down Fircia's spine… just her and him alone…

Sindri then turned and began to leave the lab, but he stopped at the door and said, "This place is a mess… you know I heard a cluttered work place is the sign of a cluttered mind. I would think a Professor would need a focused mind, but what would I know." He then took one more glance back at Birch before exiting the lab. "I think we should wait to meet any other new comers" said Sindri to his new Ralts, he then added, "I would like to see how much power you possess against one of the other starters."

Alright.

Thanks, though. lol.
 
"Stop! Thief!" A shopkeeper yelled into the distance. A young girl in a cloak was smirking and holding two icepops in hand. She was extremely nimble maneuvering her way through the winding roads and stopped at a dead end, "I've got you now you little pest! you've robbed me every day for the last week!" He raised in hand which held a gun in it.

"Ehhh...? Your going to shoot a poor innocent girl like me? How cruel! If you want a fight then do it fairly, but I've wasted to much time with you anyway. ONEE! THE ROPE!" The girl yelled, and a rope descended from the roof.

BANG!

The man shot the gun and the girl barely avoided it. She threw off her cloak and stuck her tongue out at the man, "SEE YAH LATER SUCKER!" She yelled and the two girls disappeared amongst the roofs.

---

"Jeeze...you really push your luck, Imouto-chan." Her sister mumbled as the two walked quietly on the path licking their ice pops. The girl smirked and bit a large chunck out of the ice pop.

"My name isn't Alexandrea for nothin! Hahaha!" The girl laughed heartily. She winced at an oncoming brain freeze, "Besides, we gotta have our strength today! We're getting the granddaddy of all prizes today! A Pokemon!" Alexandrea raised her fist in the air.

"Your to overconfident, Imouto." Her sister laughed.

"So anyway..here's the plan...." The girls began to plan their raid on Birch's office. It would be quick and speedy hopefully but knowing these two..it would be a lot less stealthy then they planned.

---

The girls had arrived at Littleroot town and were preparing to get ready of the theft when Alexandrea bumped into a boy who had a Ralts by his side. She scowled at him and yelled, "Watch where your going will you? What are you BLIND?" Alexandrea glared.

After leaving the boy the girls peaked into the lab. Their eyes darted back and forth, they examined the Pokeballs that lay unguarded on the table. Only one had been taken so they should be able to pick which one they wanted and get out if all went as planned.

"Okay so..we'll sneak in the window and grab a Pokeball and run out without being caught..simple enough." Alexandrea muttered.

The two girls opened the window and climbed in trying to be as stealthy as possible but before they were about to grab the Pokemon they wanted a women came up to them, "Oh, are you the other two registered train-...." The women was cut short when Alexandrea slammed her hand into the women's neck, knocking her out.

"I'm so sorry lady, but we are suppose to be stealthy..and you kind of ruined our cover.." Alexandrea mumbled and turned to her twin, "Got the Pokemon, Cassandra?"

"Yup, this should be it! Seedot and a Lotad..perfect for u-" Cassandra was cut short when the bulky Professor walked into the room stunned to find his female aid knocked out on the ground and two girls holding two Pokeballs.

There was an awkward silence between the three persons but in the end the girls just ended up fleeing and taking the Pokeballs with them. Only to here the Professor yelling 'thieves!' in the distant background. The girls laughed light-heartily, this was the beginning of a great new adventure.
 
The girl that bumped into Sindri grabbed his interest and he watched the two girls the best he could using constant subtitle waves of psychic energy to detect their movements. When they completed their thief and charged out the window Sindri's sly smile turned into a small grin. When they made their escape he focused on the one who had bumped into him and when she was a good distance away his focus suddenly shifted… the world around him became invisible except a small area separating him and the girl as he reached out with his psychic powers. "You realize that the Professor was giving out the Pokemon for free... It takes a special kind of person to steal what is given out for free," said Sindri to the girl using his psychic powers to speak to her using telepathy. The voice in her head was not Sindri's normal voice instead it was soft but condescending. Sindri now wondered how the girl would react to the strange voice in her head, and if she would be able to find its source. Perhaps she would think it came from the Ralts. He doubted she would think it was him since psychic humans were fairly uncommon.

Fircia watched this whole thing from where Sindri had been holding her. She sensed his amused emotions and wondered what he was doing. She felt his shift in his psychic energy and realized he was doing something to one of those girls. Her eyes were still full of fear as she wondered why Sindri was messing with these thieves who had attacked the lab a few seconds ago. Was he trying to help the professor? Or did he have his own motives? Fircia shifted uncomfortably in Sindri's hands so he set her down with a little pat on her head. He said to her telepathically as he patted her head, "Just enjoy the show."


OOC is everyone going to go off and do their own thing or are we going to interact some? Other than bump into each other in the street. OOC

Prologue: Pests and Pokemon

Indigo looked into Littleroot Town with an emotionless expression. This town was small, it could use something to make it larger. Something that can produce something. Trees were plentiful here, maybe something out of that. Or maybe, with a little clearing of trees, they can become a port town, with their company's name, of course. But the town itself was a fairly small little town, mostly suburban, but having a few places of business, such as stores that fit basic needs. "Hmph, these people probably haven't seen any sort of real business." Indigo said as he began to walk into town. It was at this point he saw two girls run by. He already knew that they stole something, but he didn't care.

"Maybe you should care a little more." A voice said to Indigo. He smiled and looked to the side.

"I'm sorry, Melissa, but I just can't accept that these peons exist." Indigo said, thinking back to the girls. "Those who can't contribute are better off dead." And with that, he walked towards the laboratory. Entering, he saw Birch, pacing around the room. He looked stressed, as if... "You were the victim, weren't you?"

Birch looked at Indigo in shock. "Who are you?" Birch asked, a tad suspicious. Indigo wasn't amused by the professor's questioning, and decided to state exactly who he was.

"Indigo Verez, future CEO of the Verez Corporation. I have come here for my pokemon, as my father wishes me to have this experience for some reason." Indigo stated in a robotic tone, as if it had been rehearsed. (It was, his father didn't approve, but his mother's will wanted him to be one) Birch was taken aback.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Indigo. I didn't recognize you." Birch said, calming himself down. Though he looked down at Indigo, he felt as if he were being looked down upon. "I'm afraid the Lotad you wanted was stolen by two girls that came by earlier. Sorry about that." Indigo was angry, but didn't show it.

"Oh, so your security was bad? How could anyone trust someone like you to do a job this important if two cretins who can't even get a job could steal from you? I think my father may have to do something about this." Indigo said. Though he meant installing a new security system, the way he made it sound, it was as if he was going to shut it down.

"Don't get lippy with me, Indigo. I'm the one with the pokedex here, and if you keep on badmouthing me, then I may not give it to you." Birch said, pulling out a pokeball and a pokedex. "This is the only pokemon we have that hasn't been taken. It's an import from Kanto."

"Excellent." Indigo said, a pleased expression on his face. He was thinking it was a Dratini, or an Eevee. "Perhaps I shall put in a good word for you with my father. Maybe he can fix your horrid security system." Birch groaned, but handed Indigo the pokeball anyway.

"If you were raised by David Verez, you should know how to use this stuff." Birch said, handing Indigo a Pokedex. The boy smiled as he opened it up and accessed his Trainer Card. He closed it, and was quite happy.

"Thank you, Professor. I may see you again soon." Indigo said as he bowed. Birch bowed in return, surprised that someone like him would do that. Indigo broke off first and walked out of the lab, leaving Birch behind.

"I wonder how long he'll keep that attitude on the road? Especially with his partner?" Birch asked himself. The police haven't arrived yet to help him out, and he was finally rid of that Pidgey that he caught last summer when it flew into him.

(Indigo)

Indigo smiled as he enlarged the pokeball. "Helio, front and center." Indigo said, having his nickname planned already, if it was indeed a Dratini. As the pokemon flew out, Indigo's smile slowly descended into a frown. He was pissed now, looking in front of him. It was a Pidgey, a pokemon that had made nests all across the world. "... Well, this was unexpected." Helio looked at Indigo, confused, but was returned by the trainer. "Well, I suppose this is going to be a true test. Very well, I suppose I'll accept the challenge."

And with that, Indigo left the town behind. However, as he was walking, Melissa began to speak. "Perhaps when speaking to normal people you should calm down. I don't want to see you get hurt, you know."

"I know, but these peons couldn't hurt a Magikarp, much less me." Indigo said, not realizing just what he was in for.

(A/N: This was fun to write. Very fun indeed. Short, but it is an intro post, after all.)
 
THE CULT #1 – Beginning of a two-man army.

Matthias took his time getting to Littleroot. There was no need to rush; especially considering he only lived on the edge of Oldale town, meaning it would only take half an hour or so to traverse between the two towns. Unfortunately for both of these settlements, there was near nothing that made them interesting in anyway, other than the laboratory located in Littleroot. But then again, that was the sole reason Matthias was heading there at all.

Matthias grinned as he came across the outskirts of Littleroot, it reminded him of home. Not Oldale town, but Azalea, located in Johto. Just like this town, it was small and quaint, with little of interest –other than the Azalea Gym- to be seen.

---​

Matthias pushed open the door a little over forcefully, as he stepped into the Littleroot Laboratory. The edge of said door hit the side of a coffee table, toppling over the very drink it was supposed to hold. A man dressed in a long lab-coat rushed over, attempting to contain the spill with pieces of tissue.

"Sorry." Matthias muttered, hoping the other would accept his apology despite how clumsy his act was.

The man frowned slightly before replying. "It's OK. I'm assuming you're here to see Birch?" Matthias nodded, and was pointed over to the other side of the room, where another man was working furiously at a computer. "Professor Birch is over there. He's the one to talk too."

Matthias paced over to the Professor, who turned from his work to glance at the aspiring trainer. "I'm here for my starter Pokémon…" Matthias muttered, before smiling slightly. Birch seemed oblivious to the words until he finally spoke.

"Ah yes. Matthias was it?" the Professor said intently, which was answered by Matthias nodding in reply. "I believe that your Pokémon is this one here actually." Birch continued, pointing to a small red and white sphere which rested on his desk.

Ideas began rushing through Matthias's mind. What could it be? A Mudkip? A Treecko? A Torchic? Or maybe something else? Matthias took the Pokéball with his right hand, and felt the sphere enlarge, but then stop. "T-thank you sir." Matthias thanked, before preparing to burst out of the lab with his brand new Pokémon, but he was stopped by the Professor.

"You've left your Pokédex." Said the professor, just as Matthias whipped it from his hands, and then ran off. Birch sighed. 'He seems far too impatient' he thought, but dismissed the fact. 'But at least he appears to be more approachable than the others I've seen…'

---​

"Well, let's see who I've been stuck with today!" Matthias exclaimed, as he threw the Pokéball forward, letting the sphere explode in a flurry of light. The sphere returned to the trainer's hand, and the light slowly materialised into a form. It was large, with a hair-like knot resting on his head.

"Maku!" it yelled, raising its boxing glove-like hand. The smile that was on Matthias's face grew into a massive grin at the sight of his new Pokémon.

The Pokémon stared at his new master intently, before Matthias spoke. "Wow, I really lucked out this time! Anywho, I'm Matthias, and I'm going to be your new trainer."

The Makuhita smiled back at Matthias, and then the trainer pulled out his new Pokédex, which was in the standard 'Pokéball red'. It whirred into life as Matthias pointed it at his new team-mate.

*Makuhita, the Guts Pokémon. Fighting-type. It toughens up by slamming its body by slamming into trees. Many snapped tree can be found at its nest.*

"This Pokémon League?" Matthias grinned to his Makuhita, "Piece of cake!"

(Is Matthias the only person who's going to be liked by their Pokemon? :D)

Cassandra walked along the road with her sister Alexandrea, nibbling the side of her ice lollie. " Jeeze, you really push your luck Imouto-chan." She said as her sister smirked and took a large bite of her own ice lollie.

"My name isn't Alexandrea for nothin! Hahaha!" Alexandrea laughed, then winced. Cassandra couldn't help but giggle at the face she made when the brain-freeze hit. She shook her head slightly and patted her little twin on the back. "Besides, we gotta have our strength today! We're getting the granddaddy of all prizes today! A Pokémon!" Alexandrea finally managed to finish when her brain freeze ended.
"Your to overconfident, Imouto." Cass laughed. Truth be told though, she couldn't wait for this job. She had always wanted a Pokémon of her very own and this was her chance, besides, with the two of them working together as always, no way they would fail a heist.

"So anyway..Here's the plan...." The girls began to plan their raid on Birch's office. It would be quick and speedy hopefully, but knowing these two, it would be a lot less stealthy than they planned. Cass grinned widely as she daydreamed of becoming a real Pokémon trainer. Her sister and herself would be unbeatable!
__

The girls had arrived at Littleroot town and were preparing to get ready of the theft when Alexandrea bumped into a boy who had a Ralts by his side. She scowled at him and yelled, "Watch where your going will you? What are you BLIND?" Alexandrea glared. Cass pouted and nudged her twin in the arm with her elbow.

"Imouto-chan. That's kinda mean." Cass pouted a little as they both walked towards the lab. The two of them peeked in the windows and examined the poke balls carefully. Cass smiled to herself as she eyed them, wondering what wonderful creatures lay hidden within.

"Okay so..We'll sneak in the window and grab a Poke ball and run out without being caught..Simple enough." Alexandrea muttered. Cass nodded a couple of times as she memorized the simple plan, then the two girls opened the window and climbed in, trying to be as stealthy as possible. They began to look at the poke balls, to pick out the ones they wanted when a women came up to them, "Oh, are you the other two registered train-...." The female assistant of the professors words were cut short when Alexandrea hit her in the back of the neck, knocking her out.

"I'm so sorry lady, but we are supposed to be stealthy…And you kind of ruined our cover.." Alexandrea mumbled and then turned over to her sister. "Got the Pokémon, Cassandra?" Cass held up two poke balls, grinning from ear to ear.

"Yup, this should be it! Seedot and a Lotad..perfect for u-" Cass was cut short when the bulky Professor walked into the room stunned to find his female aid knocked out on the ground and two girls holding two Poke balls.

The three stood there in an awkward silence before the twins turned and both hightailed it through the window and began to run down the road, with Birch yelling after them. The two girls however, were much more nimble than the large elderly man and quickly lost him. The two girls laughed light-heartedly as they ran, Cass holding her poke ball close to her heart and handed her twin the second poke ball.

" So Imouto? How we gunna start training? And we need more balls to catch more Pokémon." She smiled down to her poke ball. " And we need to nickname ours…I'm calling Lotad, Kappa. " She grinned over to her sister. " Since shiftry looks like ero-sannin, maybe you can name yours Jiraiya? " She winked and laughed.

" I dunno, I might call mine something cool. Been looking up Hoenn myths, Behemoth sounds cool! " Her eyes sparkled in delight. Cass laughed.

"Sounds like a good idea to me Imouto. " Cass grinned as they finally found a place to rest. Due to her health not being up to standard, she was exhausted from such small effort and rested her head against her sisters' shoulder to take a nap. She only managed to doze for a few moments before her sister shook her lightly awake.

"Psst, Nee-Chan! A trainer and a Makuhita, we should try battling them for practice!"

"Good idea Imouto." Cass yawned and stood up. "I've been waiting for a moment like this! Hey kid!" She called to the boy and walked over. "Up for giving two girls a chance for some practice?" She giggled and tilted her head to the side.
 
For one second Mariella could not remember where she was. Then as she lay in the unfamiliar, and slightly uncomfortable, bed all came back to her. She remembered the evening with the fire. Oh the fire, the wonderful fire. But it caught, and the whole barn was on fire. That was a terrible fire, a wonderfully terrible fire…


She'd run, it was a good thing that her family's farm wasn't too far away from the small town where the Pokémon were given away. She'd only had to catch a late-night bus there, and then paid for one night at a bed and breakfast in Littleroot. She stretched, banishing the bad thoughts from her mind. Her parents would no doubt hate her now, they'd lost the barn because of her, and God knew what else. They would definitely never have let her go o her journey now, which was even more reason to have sneaked away.


Besides, she'd left a note, that would make it all okay, wouldn't it?


She definitely hoped so. She dressed in her usual attire and quickly brushed her hair and put it in a low ponytail. There, ready as ever. She quickly said goodbye to the landlady and rushed out the door, the lab looming high over the small town, it was easy as pi to find.


As Ella walked up to the door she fondled the box of matches in her pocket, content to know that they were still there where they were supposed to be. As she entered she saw a distraught, and a tad bulky man in a labcoat. He looked rather annoyed, but when he spotted her a smile spread on his lips. She caught sight of something she thought was a passed-out woman, but he the professor stepped forward, cutting her from the view.


"Hello! Good morning, are you one of the registered trainers aren't you? Well I'm professor Birch!" He seemed cheery enough, but there was a bit of a tension about him, like he was expecting the worst.


"Hi!" Ella replied cheerfully. "Mariella Trinket, I should be on the list." Still fondling the box of matches in her pocket.

Birch glanced over the list, eyes lighting up when he found her name. "Ah, yes, there you are! You're not the first one to come around," the way he said it made Ella suspect that all had not gone ideally with the others. "But I have a fine Pokémon waiting for you. Here you go," he handed her the Pokéball, and she accepted excitedly.

"I also have a Pokédex for you, for identifying the creatures along your way, and here are a few empty Pokéball to help you on your way," he handed her the items, before getting interrupted by a phonecall. "Hold on will you, it'll be but a moment," he told her, picking up his phone.


Meanwhile Ella released her Pokémon, curious as to what it might be. Out sprang a tiny little dog-like Pokémon. "A Poochyena!" Ella said excitedly. "Sweet! I'll call you… Marcus!"


"Uh oh," Ella uttered, quickly stuffing her thing in her bag, picking Marcus up and glancing back at Birch. "Thanks professor, bya!" She yelled and ran through the door.
 
(It's a little short, but hey, it's very nearly a conversation...)

THE CULT #2 – Ready?

"Hey, kid!" called an unfamiliar voice, causing Matthias to swing around to the source. A few metres away stood two, near identical girls, who were almost definatly twins. "Up for giving two girls a chance for some practise?"

Matthias chuckled, as he glanced at one who had walked up to him. "I was hoping my first Pokémon battle would be a little more challenging, but it might be good as a warm up." he replied, as he turned back to Makuhita. "You think you can take these guys?"

The Guts Pokémon puffed up his chest. "Makuhita!"

"So, which one of you two do I have to grind into the dust first?" he joked, as he raised an eyebrow.
 
Chapter 1: Superiority Complex

Indigo smiled as he pulled out his pokedex. There were no pages on it, but the fact that he finally got to hold one of these devices was good enough for him. It was at this point he realized that he forgot something. "Wait... I forgot my pokeballs." Indigo said before facepalming. He quickly turned around, before beginning to run back. Pokeballs are important for a trainer, and his idiocy in forgetting to get them slapped him in the face, hard.

"Now that was a great move." Melissa said, a little amused by this plight. Indigo glared at her, though it really meant that he was glaring at nothing but air.

"I made a mistake, I won't make this mistake again." Indigo said as he began to see the familiar sights of Littleroot. He was running over towards the laboratory, when he saw two girls go up to another trainer. "Hey, it's those two." He was interested in this, though he hated to admit it. He stopped and began to listen in.

"I thought you were after your pokeballs." Melissa replied. Indigo shushed her, he was interested at what the two thieves were planning on doing. He hadn't seen any sign of them noticing he was there, so he didn't have to worry about stares from them.

"Hey, kid! Up for giving two girls a chance for some practice?" One of the thieves asked. Indigo rolled his eyes, they had to be up to something else, there's no way they weren't.

"I was hoping my first pokemon battle would be a little more challenging, but it might be good as a warm up." The challenged boy said. He turned to his Makuhita. "You think you can take these guys?" The Makuhita cried in challenge, puffing its chest up, seemingly ready for the challenge.

"So, which one of you two do I have to grind into the dust first?" The boy asked, raising his eyebrow. Indigo looked on in amusement. Thieves never play fair, so he decided to step in.

"I couldn't help but notice you three standing here." Indigo said, walking into their view. He wasn't going to spoil their surprise, not yet. If they weren't doing anything, then it would be pointless to waste resources. "Hello, my name is Indigo Verez, and I wish to participate as well. To test out my new... ally." And with this, Indigo sent out Helio. The Pidgey stood on the ground, seemingly a bit bored, actually.

"Pid..." Helio stated, not really caring at this point. He was interested in his master, but currently not intrigued enough to try and figure it out.

(A/N: Short, but I needed to reel back.)

Chapter 2: Battle Mode On!


OC: Grif try to keep your posts a tad bit longer than that, since it's following 1 paragraph rules I'll let it slide but maybe you might want to work on getting the post longer, regardless of little dialogue

Chapter 2: Battle mode on!​

"You realize that the Professor was giving out the Pokemon for free... It takes a special kind of person to steal what is given out for free," declared a mysterious voice in her head. At first Ally thought it might have been her conscious and responded

"Mr. Conscious we TALKED about this. I told you we won't be speaking anymore after I left the institution, duh." She retorted to the mysterious voice only to turn around and see the boy she had bumped into previously holding a ralts and finally understood what was going on. She walked over the boy and shot him a look, and then looked at the Ralts, it seemed nervous, "Oh your Ralts is so cute! Has a lot of spunk too! I wish I had a Ralts! Maybe I can catch one..." Her voice trailed off as she dreamed of fighting side by side with a Gallade her long time favorite Pokémon, "Oh by the way, sorry about before..I have some..anger issues. Name's Alexandrea, I'll see you around." She ran to catch up with her sister.

She had noticed her sister had started up a battle challenge with another trainer. A male trainer who looked more than willing to take her challenge.

"I was hoping my first Pokémon battle would be a little more challenging, but it might be good as a warm up." he replied, and turned back to his Pokémon, a Makuhita, another favorite of Alexandrea's "You think you can take these guys?"

The Guts Pokémon puffed up his chest. "Makuhita!"

"So, which one of you two do I have to grind into the dust first?" he joked, as he raised an eyebrow. Alexandrea smirked.

"Overconfidence.... " Alexandrea though and she put on a smirk. An interesting boy indeed, but she wasn't about to be ground into the dust by some overconfident noob trainer, "Be careful if your to overconfident karma charger will get you." Alexandrea declared even though she wasn't sure he would get the joke from a Left 4 Dead game.

This is when another boy decided to enter the conversation. This one didn't look nearly as friendly, more like..stuck-up. A boy that reminded her from her previous life where everyone was stuck up and looking for power. The life she had left behind.

"I couldn't help but notice you three standing here. Hello, my name is Indigo Verez, and I wish to participate as well. To test out my new... ally." And with this, Indigo sent out Helio. The Pidgey stood on the ground, seemingly a bit bored, actually."

"Verez...where have I heard that name before....? I'm sure I've heard it somewhere but..." Alexandrea pondered for a minute, and brushed it off telling herself that it was nothing.

"Indigo, funny name for a funny looking person," Alexandrea smirked, "I'll take you on. Names Alexandrea Mazerek and I am a martial artist and Left 4 Dead fan. Pleasure to meet you, Indigo."

She smirked, "Let's take him on, Demeter!" She yelled and threw out the Pokeball and out sprang a Seedot, "And if you don't know your Greek mythology which you look like you don't. Demeter is the Goddess of agriculture, horticulture, fertility and the harvest. A fitting name..don't you agree?" Alexandrea smirked.
 
Cass smiled at her twin taking on the snobby kid. Gods how she hated the days when they were surrounded by those types, and was glad they had escaped sane, well, sane in each other's minds anyway. They had almost been turned into "perfect little angels"but managed to keep themselves free as bird Pokémon. Cass shook her head, as if to remove the bad memories from her head, and then smiled to Matthias.

"Your Makuhita is very cute. I hope it doesn't get too hurt when I beat you. Come on out Kappa!" She tossed her poke ball into the air and it burst open to reveal a tiny blue Pokémon with a large leaf on its head and back.

"Loooooo~Tad!" The Pokémon cheered as it stood up on its back legs and waved its tiny front legs happily.

"Oh wow! Cuter than I expected!" Cass cheeped as she pulled out the green pokedex she managed to snatch from the labs. It would have to do for both her and her sister since she only had time to grab one. She held the device up toward her little Lotad and an electronic voice sounded from it.

*Lotad. The water weed Pokémon. Joint type water and grass. Lotad live in ponds and lakes, where they float on the surface. It grows weak if its broad leaf dies. On rare occasions, this Pokémon travels on land in search of clean water.*

"Well then, Ladies first if you don't mind. " She checked the pokedex to check what moves her new partner possessed. "All right Kappa! Let's start things off with growl! "

"LOOOOOOO!" The little Lotad dug its stumpy legs into the soil and cried out toward the Makuhita as fiercely as it could. If the attack itself didn't weaken the opponents attack power, Kappa's face would surly cause anyone to go half power due to the dorky look it sported. Anyone other than Cassandra would have sweat dropped at the Pokémon's attempt of seeming fierce, but Cass just squealed at the cuteness.

Chapter 2: A Battle Begins

"Indigo, funny name for a funny looking person." The thief replied. This comment hurt Indigo a bit, but he didn't show it. She smirked before speaking again. "I'll take you on. Name's Alexandrea Mazerek, and I am a martial artist and a Left 4 Dead fan. Pleasure to meet you, Indigo."

"That's nice." Indigo said, not really paying attention. "And I'll let you know that color names are popular in Kanto. Helio, prepare for battle." Apparently she didn't care for his response, as she continued without acknowledgement.

"Let's take him on, Demeter!" Alexandrea yelled before throwing out a Seedot. "And if you don't know your Greek mythology, which you look like you don't. Demeter is the goddess of Agri-" It was at this point he tuned her out, he didn't care about the fairytales of old, they were left behind for a reason. He tuned back in to hear the last part. "A fitting name... don't you agree?" She smirked at this point. Indigo looked at her with a bored expression.

"That's nice." Indigo said, he had no intention to really say much, but it was at this point Melissa began to talk to him.

"Hey, come on. Be nice to her, you don't have to act like a jerk to everyone you see. You'll probably see her again." Melissa said, a bit peeved that he would treat someone like that the way he did. Indigo rolled his eyes.

"I know we'll meet up a lot." Indigo said, not really caring who heard him. "Besides, father taught me to not pay attention to commonwealth, lest it is beneficial to you." He didn't care if Alexandrea heard him or not, it's not like he'd lose any sleep if someone hated him.

"I just can't stand to see you like this, Indigo." Melissa said. Indigo scoffed at her.

"I know, I honestly do." Indigo said with a little remorse before looking back at Helio. "Now let me battle, I want to get this over with. Helio, use T-" He then heard a large cry from the other two battlers. He saw the Lotad, and his eye began to twitch. "Urgh, just my luck that the one I wanted was taken by one of you... Tackle attack, now." Helio suddenly perked up and rushed towards Demeter, ready to strike.

(Sorry about the short-ness of the previous post. It was near-enough a conversation, meaning that there wasn't a huge amount I could have done other than reply. I'll be sure to make posts in the future longer and probably more interesting)

THE CULT #3 – DragPunch

"Be careful, if you're too overconfident Karma Charger will get you." Said the other girl, who had made her way up to Matthias just as the other had. He smiled slightly at the comment, even though it completely contradicted one of Matthias's top-ten rules. #3 – The only way to get anywhere in life is to think that you're the single most awesome trainer there has ever been.

"I couldn't help but notice you three standing here." Said a new voice.

Matthias creaked his head, "Uh-hu." He muttered, before glaring back at the trainer who would be his first victim in a Pokemon battle. The voice came from a person about Matthias's age, and he didn't look particularly friendly. Not for any reason you're think of, he just looked a little emotionless, and a slightly stuck-up.

But the voice spoke again. "Hello, my name is Indigo Verez, and I wish to participate as well, to test out my new… ally." At this, he raised a Pokéball, and a flurry of light was released, forming into the Tiny-bird Pokémon. The Pidgey seemed far too bored, and completely uninterested in everything that was happening.

Him and the other girl began to converse between themselves, but Matthias needed to stay focused.

"Your Makuhita is very cute." Said the girl, which led the Fighting-type to smile. "I hope it doesn't get too hurt when I beat you." She continued, leading the cheerful smile of the Guts-Pokemon to turn into a frown. The girl threw her Pokeball into the air, and let the Pokémon inside, break free.

The creature was tiny, being only about as high up as Matthias's knee, and about half the height of Makuhita. "Loooo~tad!" it whistled, as it leant up onto its hind legs. Matthias couldn't help but burst into laughter at the Pokémon trying to look intimidating, it was truly hysterical.

The foe giggled something about her Pokémon, and then scanned it with her brand new Pokédex. "Well then, ladies first if you don't mind!" she exclaimed, checking her Pokémon Encyclopaedia for the moveset. "All right Kappa! Let's start things off with a Growl!"

"LLOOOO!" the Water-weed Pokémon yelled, which caused both Matthias and Makuhita to once again, fall over in laughter. It was the least terrifying thing he had seen, even the Sentret back in Johto were more threatening.

Matthias began to take initiative. "Ma- Wait, Molotov!" he yelled, before deciding on his new partner's nickname. "Molotov, make this quick and use Tackle!" he ordered, leaving his new Pokémon to do the rest.

The Fighting-type waddled towards the Lotad, in a similar comical sense, and made his way towards the Grass/Water type, and then prepared to ram its large body into the smaller Pokémon. "Makuiiii~ta!"
 
Cass grinned as she watched the opponent trainer and Pokémon rolling with laughter. One of the keys to victory was to distract your enemy any way possible, and to keep your own mind clear. With her weak health, despite her twin's strength, the two would have never gotten far without her mastering the art of strategy and deception.

"Makuiiiiii~ta!" Cried the tiny sumo like Pokémon as it began to waddle towards her lotad. It had decent speed despite its chubbiness and short legs, but two legs could never be faster than four.

"Kappa! Don't let it hit you, but let it get close!" Cassandra called to her tiny weed Pokémon who dug its stumpy legs into the ground again, bracing itself. She waited till the larger creature was just close enough. "Now! Dodge to the left and use Astonish!"

"Lotad Lo!" The small blue Pokémon cried as it leapt quickly to the side of the Makuhita. Once beside it, the tiny Pokémon jumped as high as it could, reaching ear height and gave a loud yell. "LOOOOOOOOO! Tad! "

"Yeah!" Cass cheered in excitement, glad that she was right in assuming Makuhita were not skilled at turning so suddenly while running. Its weight, stubby legs and the speed it was going ended up being its downfall for the moment. "Now Kappa, get yourself away from it before it can counter attack!"

"Tad Tad!" The lotad quickly started to distance itself from the larger yellow Pokémon, and when it felt it was far enough away, shook its rear end toward it. Cass couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. This Lotad was as quirky as its mythological namesake!

"Kappa-chan! That's just rude now." Cass smiled over to Matthias. "Your tackle would have done a lot of damage to my Kappa had you hit, But I used your momentum against you in this battle. Going to surrender?" She tilted her head to the side, eyeing the boy to watch his reaction. With his pride, she would certainly probably upset him, and that would lead him to make mistakes.
 
Arc 1, Chapter 3: Let's give it our all~​

"That's nice.." The boy said, he seemed bored with her. This only made her smirk, she now knew what was so familiar about him. He was someone who came from an upper class society, a rich one. He wasn't too interested in her personally..he was only out to prove he was better than the common person, "I know we'll meet up a lot," Indigo said, not really caring who heard him, "Besides, father taught me to not pay attention to commonwealth, lest it is beneficial to you."

"So you're the stereotypical rich kid right? The one that's going to take over some big company and become some power-hungry, money-grubbing freak? It reminds me of my sister..when we were caged birds...regardless. You can't change unless you want too. Personally, I'd rather be a common thief then some sheltered rich boy..because frankly my family wasn't the best example on how to act." Alexandrea explained.

"Urgh, just my luck that the one I wanted was taken by one of you... Tackle attack, now." Helio suddenly perked up and rushed towards Demeter, ready to strike.

"You snooze you lose! Hehehe, anyway Demeter harden!" Alexandrea commanded as the Pidgey ran closer.

"Dot~Dot~!" The Seedot responded happily. Its body glassed over in a hard shielding as the pidgey slammed head onto the seedot's hard body.

"Now, bide your time!" Alexandrea grinned, Alexandrea was much more forceful than her older sister who preferred strategy, but who needs strategy when brute force almost always gets the job done? I mean it's not like this is rocket science it's a Pokémon battle for Arceus' sake.

---Meanwhile---​

"Do you honestly think that you can get away? Where are the spirits you incompetent fool." A women's voice hissed at a young women in a lab coat who was huddled in the corner, covered in blood and dirt.

"I-I don't k-now what yo-you're talking about! I..I just want to go home!" The women sobbed.

"So this article that you are the leading scientist in Hoenn mythology is wrong? You've been lying to the public about your credentials?" The women hissed again, a tangrowth standing by her side.

"N-no..but...I've never heard of wha-what...you're talking about..." The scholar sobbed continuously. The hissing women gritted her teeth and clenched her fist in anger.

"Then your of no use to me...or The Cult...Tangrowth..Kill her." The girl commanded and watched as the tangrowth unleashed an array of vines and...

"EYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The women screamed before she was decapitated and her head fell to the ground. The girl with the tangrowth smirked.

"Such a messy process....Tangrowth...you know what to do with the body." The tangrowth nodded and dragged the beheaded body while the girl grabbed the head, "Now..let's put you with the others...shall we?"
 
Chapter 3: My Dear Father

As she heard him speak to Melissa, Alexandrea responded to him. "So you're the stereotypical rich kid, right? The one that's going to take over some big company and become some power-hungry, money-grubbing freak? It reminds me of my sister... when we were caged birds... regardless, you can't change unless you want to. Personally, I'd rather be a common thief then some sheltered rich boy, because frankly, my family wasn't the best example on how to act."

Helio rushed to attack, and the girl replied again. You snooze, you lose! Hehehe, anyway. Demeter, Harden!" The Seedot braced for impact, its defense increasing as it kept in the pose. Helio smashed into Seedot, but didn't do as much damage. "Now bide your time!"

"Use Sand Attack, keep using it until the attack wears off." Indigo said, having caught on to the wordplay she used. Helio didn't like this, but did as he asked, sending dust up into the air, covering the Seedot. "Nice try."

"Now as to response to your earlier statement, and Helio, be on the lookout for an attack. A thief like this will use tricks to get an advantage." Indigo said, seemingly looking through the dust cloud. "Father does possess a great company, and I am indeed the heir, but I don't care for money, or power. Father taught me to care only for productivity, and that is all. I will fulfill the role Father gave to me, that is my only purpose in life."

"Indigo, I keep trying to tell you that you don't have to follow that route." Melissa said. Indigo didn't notice her as he looked at his opponent.

---

(Flashback, a few weeks ago)

"Indigo, your mission is clear, right?" His father, David asked. Indigo nodded before looking at his father. He was a tall man, of about 6'2" tall, which towered over Indigo's rather small height in comparison. Next to him was a little girl, who didn't seem to care either way. This sort of weirded Indigo out, but he didn't care. He had to obey his mission.

"Yes, father. I shall win the pokemon league, then return home to finish my studies. You made this quite clear." Indigo said, fortunate that Melissa wasn't interrupting. David nodded, allowing Indigo to go. "I will not fail you, father. To do so, is simply unforgivable."

"Yes, it is." David said. Indigo then went into the car and was driven off towards Vermilion City, where Indigo would begin his journey. They didn't expect the delays, but still made it to Vermillion anyway.
 
Arc 1, Chapter 4: Tactical Brute Force
​

"Use Sand Attack, keep using it until the attack wears off." Indigo said, having caught on to the wordplay she used. Helio didn't like this, but did as he asked, sending dust up into the air, covering the Seedot, "Nice try."

"Now as to response to your earlier statement, and Helio, be on the lookout for an attack. A thief like this will use tricks to get an advantage." Indigo said, seemingly looking through the dust cloud. "Father does possess a great company, and I am indeed the heir, but I don't care for money, or power. Father taught me to care only for productivity, and that is all. I will fulfill the role Father gave to me, that is my only purpose in life."

Alexandrea smirked, snappy word play wasn't what she was aiming at, she looked at the Pidgey and then back to Indigo. Seedot was in the middle of the dust cloud gathering energy for a bide attack. She didn't really have a plan to rely on..And with Seedot in the middle of a sand attack his accuracy for an attack was greatly reduced.

"Eh, just because I'm a thief, I use tricks to get an advantage? Now listen you, I may be sneaky but I do NOT use tricks in fights. That's why my hands are ban-," She cut herself off, "Why your right I DO use many tricks." Alexandrea gave an evil grin.

"And as for this productivity bull crap your spouting I'll let you in on a little secret from what happened with my father, he's using you, he doesn't care what happens to you in the long because there is always someone better to do the job. And this is the complete truth, so you'd better think twice before you make it your mission in life. You might want to try making friends and living life before become a corporate official because then you can't live life at all." She smiled at him. At some point she felt a bit sorry for him because he reminded her of well..herself at that point in time, "And now... Seedot.. BIDE!"

"Doooot~" The Seedot launched itself in the air towards the pidgey but clearly missing and landing in a nearby tree. Now hidden in within the trees Alexandrea smirked.

"You do know what a thief is best at, right? Hiding and being sneaky. Now let's use bide once more but this time look for a surprise hiding spot Demeter." Alexandrea had a plan, she wouldn't even know where Demeter would appear, so how could the Pidgey.

"Family doesn't make you who you are. You seemed to have been completely controlled your whole life, so you might want to loosen up while you're out on your journey. Your life mission shouldn't be to fulfill your father's wishes."

She knew this speech all too well because this had been the very same speech she'd told her sister the night they fled from their Grandparents house to live on their own. She could still see her sister being caged like a bird, studying for at least 16 hours a day..While Alexandrea was completely overlooked and was left to her mother most of the time.

How could she forget? How could she forget the day her mother's last words, "Take care of your sister" before she left and never came back? How could she forget the day her sister collapsed and her health went completely downhill because of stress? How could she forget the day where her sister nearly died protecting her?

She couldn't. This is why she convinced her sister to leave with her because she couldn't disregard her mother's wishes because she loved her mother more than anything in the world.

"Now Seedot, slam into pidgey using Bide!"

"Doooooot~" The Seedot hurled itself from a neighboring tree and slammed into pidgey knocking it to the ground and then falling to the ground himself. The bide attack had exhausted Seedot's energy and it let out it's breath in continuous pants.

He needs to recover before he can attack again...Crap! That leaves me an open target!

"Seedot! Hide in one of the bushes!" In an attempt to get out of the pidgey's line of sight the Seedot scampered into a neighboring bush for cover.
