Ezra woke up slowly. His eyes felt like they didn't want to open, and his body felt heavy. "Urg... what happened...?" he asked himself, slowly getting up and shaking his head a bit. He then noticed something weird. "Err... why am I acting like a dog...?" he asked, before he looked down at his... paws?! "W-what happened?! Where am I?" he asked, looking around franticly, noticing a small lake, and running towards it. Taking a deep breath and gulping, he looked at his reflection on the calm water. "What the... I'm... a Jolteon...?" were his words, after seeing a canine like face looking back at him. Ezra turned and looked at his body. It was covered with yellow fur, except the collar of fur around his neck, that was white, like his belly.
Suddenly, the lake's water started vibrating. Soon, the ground started shaking. "W-whoa...! Q-quake...?" Ezra asked, backing away from the water. Soon, it stopped, as suddenly as it started. "W-what's happening...?"

Thank you. ^w^

Silver managed to steady her balance again. The second rumble was far more vicious than the first. She wondered the cause, thinking perhaps a tribe of dugtrio and diglett were passing by, but perhaps it was more on the level of migrating onixes. Continuing to the opening of the forest, a large lake- her favorite spot to sunbathe- came into view. Looking across the entire span of the lake, she noticed a yellow pokémon in the distance. Silver felt anxious, not many pokémon she knew came to this spot, and she didn't recognize the mysterious pokémon. Cautiously moving a little closer she noticed it was a jolteon - much to her surprise. Jolteons were never found near lakes...or forests for that matter.
-
"Silver, wait up!" Corzo yelled, barely keeping pace on his bipedal form. "Its not at all safe to just run off like that, how can I protect what I can't ev-" He managed to catch up with her in time to notice the Jolteon, who seemed to be quite confused. "Did you take a wrong turn somewhere, stranger?" Corzo asked, keeping an eye on Silver if she tried to run away again.
-
Ezra looked around, seeing what seemed like an Espeon. He then saw the Lucario, and hesitated. "Well... I... don't really know how I got here..." he said, looking from one to another with a nervous look. He wasn't sure of what those two Pokemon would do, and, if he needed to run, he didn't know the area, so he decided to be careful with what he said.
-
'What do you mean you don't know?' asked the espeon cautiously. Espeon's eyes glowed...
looking into the jolteon's mind, she found that he really didn't know where he was.. and what he was... which confused her immensely. Looking at the jolteon she asked, 'who are you, whats your name?'
-
Ezra looked into the Espeon's eyes, and felt a little unconfortable; it felt like she was doing ax X-Ray on him...
He looked at her again. "I'm... Ezra... and... who are you...?" he asked, looking at the other two.
-
'Um.. my names Silver, and this is Corzo.. who thinks that he has to run about after me like a guard because i'm a princess around here.' She stared at the jolteon and grinned, well you look exhausted, how about we go to my village up ahead?'
Running away from the two she said 'I suppose I can do my sunbathing later.'
-
Riku watched the proceedings from the outskirts of the forest with a twisted glee. He couldn't really hear what they were saying, even with his enhanced hearing, only capturing the odd word. The sun beat down on his void like fur, making him pant slightly. Though he couldn't go to the lake until they left. Slinking back into the forest, he casually shocked a Caterpie, eating it's remains to sustain him until they left.
Looking back, he noticed the Espeon running towards the village. A village he was chased from due to his different appearance. Anger grew in his body as he remembered being chased from his home. Purple sparks started to emanate from his body and his eyes began to glow an iridescent red as his anger reached it apex. The Jolteon let out a long breath and let the energy discharge harmlessly into the ground, he didn't want to risk giving away his position.
-
Espeon's tail twitched. This stopped Espeon in her tracks as she could read the airwaves growing tense, as if a pokémon had used a move nearby. Pricking up her ears, she tried to listen for any far away movements, and heard a small panting very faintly coming from behind. Casually glancing around as if she was looking at the two pokémon she was with, she noticed glowing red eyes that were in the shadows of the bushes.
A sick realization came over her, and she blurted 'What are you guys waiting for? I've suddenly realised how hungry I am!'
-
"Nice to meet you." he said, lowering his head a little. He started following Silver, when his ears twitched. The Jolteon stopped and looked around. "What...?" he started, trying to see something. "Mm... must've been a bird..." he mumbled, then looked at the princess again. "Sorry... I had a strange feeling..." he said, and started walking towards her.
-
Espeon shudderd '..heh, yeah.. pidgeys and caterpies tend to nest near here.' She replied with a shaky smile. Continuously padding along quickly, with their new friend behind her, she called to Corzo 'What are you doing just standing there?? C'mon!'
-
"Huh?...oh, right away.." Corzo replied, leaping towards Silver and landing right next to her. "I feel way too tall here, both of you are on all fours, while my body almost forces me to stand on two feet..." He retorted, looking down at both Silver and the new 'Erza'.
-
A snarl grew on his muzzle as he realised who the Espeon was. Looking at the three, he felt a surge of jealousy "Why can't I be normal?...It's unfair!...I'll show them...I'll make them fear me!" He thought in his mind as he turned and walked to the far side of the lake, out of sight. He took a few long gulps of the cool, clear liquid, soothing his dry mouth and parched throat. He stretched leisurely before beginning to return to his cave that he fashioned for himself when he was forced to leave as a cub.
-
Rigor looked around anxiously as she continued moving a couple of boulders out of her way. She had thought she had heard voices.. Seemed like someone didn't know something about being a pokemon in the conversation... But that couldn't be. She wiped the sweat from her brow, careful not to remove her skull. One thing she was not fond of was showing her face. She assumed it was her imagination making up the conversation, and frustrated, smashed the rest of the rocks in her way on the path, making the ground itself shake as she did so. Huffing, she began to walk down the lush strip. Her bone scythe and odd markings often made her look intimidating.. But in actuality, she was a loner. She did not crave attention or social interaction unless it was absolutely necessary. She took her leather strap and tossed her bone into place of the holder, then slung it onto her back as she walked, but stopped as she came across three sets of tracks. One seemed to come out of the water with no origin.. And looked nothing like a water pokemon she'd ever seen, other than maybe a vaporeon.. Whereas the other two sets distinctly had a path to the edge of the water, and a path back. She plopped on the ground beside the tracks and looked on off into the water, contemplating taking a dip. The sun was hot, and oddly enough, she was tired.
-
Espeon strutted ahead in silence. She recognized those bright red eyes, the same ones that looked at her in sadness and fear many years ago when her father, the king (a vaporeon named Edwin) had cast the owner out. She felt a little bit sad, she had played with that strange looking pokémon a few times before it had to leave. A little violent... she thought, but it just seemed to want to belong.
Looking back at the party of two, mostly at the jolteon, she stated 'we're almost there, so i'll run ahead and tell everyone we have a new visitor.'
-
Ezra sighed softly, thinking of what they would think when he told them that he wasn't a Pokemon. He shook his head softly and looked at the Espeon. "Hm? Oh... right... ok, I guess..." he said, glancing at the taller Lucario. "She's quite active..." he risked saying, with a small smile. He then started looking around, at the different trees and taking the unusually fresh air in his lungs. It made him smile. 'Well, at least it's not as polluted as my world...' he thought.
-
the strong blood red lizard walked through the woods. the temperamental charmeleon had just come from training out in the rocky canyon about half a mile from her home, the village ruled by the king vaporeon. the charmeleon spat on the ground, just thinking about the water king. the charmeleon continued the walk to her home. as much as she didn't like the king, or his lineage. she did need to stay in the village, it was the last thing her father had told her to do while he left. the noble charizard had been a rival to the king Edwin for his entire life. the great charizard (Zukor) had said that he and the king have known each other for many years before Xiang had been born. her father had told her to stay in the village while he left to take care of some things outside the forest. he had told her to protect the village. even if i don't like the king, i still have to obey my father. the charmeleon thought grimly. she came upon the clear lake just outside the village. her sharp eyes caught sight of a small bipedal being and some dark quadruped around the lake. they didn't seem malicious at all, so the blood red lizard dipped her muzzle into the clear and sharp water and took a long drink.
-
Taking a glance behind himself, Riku noticed two new arrivals at the lake. One was a oddly coloured Cubone and another was a Charmeleon that he recognised from the village. Though they didn't interact with one another, he still recognised her. His stomach rumbled. The Caterpie didn't do much for him. Sighing slightly, he moved to the edge of the water and dived in, resurfacing with a Goldeen in his maw. He shocked it once he got out of the water and proceeded to eat it. Such was his way of life.
-
Looking at the Erza, Corzo only grunted and replied "Yes, and even though the king wants me to look after her, its getting harder and harder to do so...and tell Silver i'll be a little late..." Corzo then went back to the water, somewhat intrested at the "Cubone" in the water, then he turned his attention to the black Jolteon with the Goldeen in his mouth. "I take it you're the one the King forced out of the village quite a few years ago...Riku, was it?"
-
Silver entered the village a while before the other two caught up. Greeting pokémon she passed, she walked through the rather large village's main square, enjoying the hustles and bustles of the markets and street battles that took place daily. Suddenly hearing a large explosion a koffing flew at her and struck her accidentally. The busy street stopped in its tracks in slight horror, realizing who the koffing had stricken. Silver didn't like the silence, she knew what they meant by it. They think i'm just like my father. She got up looking at the badly beaten koffing and smiled 'that was some self destruct attack, but try not to use it here too often, you might damage the places and pokémon around you.' The koffing cowered 'I-i'm s-so sor-sorry lady Eon!' Silver paused and the ruby began to glow on her head. A large ray of sunlight shone down upon the koffing, curing it almost instantly. 'Don't worry about it, it was an accident.' She replied with a smile.
She continued to strut forward to the largest and most luxurious hut in the big village, and after a small pause, the rest of the pokémon resumed their activities.
-
Xiang finished her drink from the lake and shook her head. clearing her hard head of the pain from the sharp cold water. she dipped her claws into the lake and took them out again, using her wet claws as a brush she quickly scrubbed behind her neck and face. she dipped her claws into the water again and quickly did the same again with her arms. the lizard was careful to keep the water away from the metallic orange of her tail flame. Xiang looked up to see the dark quadruped jump into the water and surface again with a fish in it's maw. the now less dirty charmeleon smiled slightly she recognised the dark jolteon. he used to live in the village before the king had banished him. xiang felt her face turn into a dark mask. she thought it unfair that the king would banish some one just because he looked different. the first time xiang remembered him he had seemed nice, not bad at all, once people started treating him bad, xiang had heard more complaints. xiang wished she could do anything to help him.
xiang looked up again as she saw corzo walking ALONE to see the dark jolteon. xiang didn't want to see any fights, after all the dark jolteon had done nothing wrong as of yet. xiang ran after corzo, she caught up to him. "where is the princess, oh great guardian of his highness' heir" the charmeleon said to the lucario.
-
"She went back to the village, now can I have a conversation in peace?" Corzo said with a hint of annoyance in his tone and giving a brief glance at the Charmeleon. Then he turned back to the dark Jolteon for an answer.
-
Riku took a bite out of his meal, gulping it down, feeling his hunger grow faint. He heard footsteps looked up at the lucario "Who wants to know? Besides It's not really hard to mistake me for someone else" His voice was cold and harsh. Gravelly from disuse. His red eyes locked onto the lucario's blue ones. He placed a paw on his dinner while he waited for the lucario to speak. He nodded at the chameleon, giving a silent thanks as he noticed what she was trying to do
-
"Hey, your not the only one who doesn't fit in, if I didn't prove my usefulness as the princess' protector, I would have been kicked out long before you came in" Corzo said to defend himself. "All I have to do is make sure the Princess outlasts the king, you can hate the king all you want, but if you want to pick a fight with her, then I'll put you down myself..." Corzo then got up, and without waiting for a response, headed back to 'Erza'.
-
xiang turned to watch the lucario leave cocking one scalie eye brow as he left. "i would apologize for him if he were my friend" the charmeleon said to the jolteon. "i give him respect for doing a good job in protecting the princess, but as far as a friend, i don't know yet." xiang nodded to the jolteon, "don't let me catch you or your friends doinging anything bad for my village, if i catch you, i will fight." the charmeleon said knowing she had to get back to her village. "it's not a threat, it's a promise, to anyone who wishes to harm my village" the charmeleon said walking after the lucario.
-
Ezra was slightly behind the Espeon, he could see her tail sometimes. He looked around, at the Pokemon that battled, or just walked around on that sunny day. 'This is amazing...! he thought, then looked around, his ears perked. The sudden silence felt weird. He walked a little more, then saw the Koffing and the Princess. He caught up with her. "That was really nice of you. But why the deep silence...?" he asked.
-
She sighed softly 'You see...my father is the king of this region.. and some would argue although hes a good ruler, and the land hasn't been so prosperous since he began to rule, people consider him elitist and ignorant..' she thought of the other jolteon... 'and I kinda agree with that. I suppose they must think I'm just like my father. If that had been my dad, he would have shoved the koffing to the ground and set an example of him..'
She looked at the new jolteon's worried expression, 'don't worry, he'll like you, you're an 'eon' pokémon. Come, we'll go meet him and set you up for a while until you realize who you are.'
-
Corzo finally arrived in the village, some people afraid of him since he was the only one of his kind that they have seen, and had so far shown that he could overpower most of the villagers if he so desired. Then he saw Silver and went towards her "Riku is in the lake if you want to talk to him, and there was also a wierd looking cubone there as well..."
-
'I knew it.' She whispered more to herself than the others. We'll leave him be, he's doing nothing wrong so far.' She looked up at the lucario and gave a small smile, 'Thanks for checking anyway.' Looking at Ezra, she smiled and said 'I was just going to take him to father, if he doesn't know who he is, he probably doesn't have a home... I was thinking of asking father to ask the guild leader wigglytuff to give him somewhere to stay for a bit.'
-
Riku's face was completely unchanged throughout the entire exchange. He didn't reply to the Lucario or the Charmeleon and kept his thoughts to himself. but instead turned back to his meal "There they go again, judging my appearance! Well if they think they can attack me for living then they'll get a nasty surprise". Practically radiating with anger, the Jolteon batted the fish aside and walked off into the forest. Passing the Cubone. A crackling could be heard as his fur was brimming with static electricity, purple sparks jumping across his body.
-
xiang arrived at the village and looked around. she sought out her small home a hut partially up against the large rock face marking the edge of the village. she looked around her small hut and sighed. she turned around and walked to the edge of the village, she saw another member of the village, it was a small green treeco. xiang stepped up next to the little guy and nodded to him. "I'm your relief, if anything happens, tell the captain 'xaing was on duty' you won't get in trouble" the charmeleon said as she started walking her scouting area. she could handle anything that came her way until the next watch came.
the guard captain was a friend of her father, a large blastoise named James was the guard captain of defences of the village, her father Zukor was in charge of the offensive forces of the village. xiang had always helped both forces of the village, learning from both and taking watches in both. the offensive forces were off on some mission by order of the king. the strong charizard hadn't told her what it was about.
(we should wait for rigor, don't you think?)
-
Entering the massive hut with the two pokémon, she was immediately greeted by a Mr.mime 'Good afternoon lady Silver! How are you? Would you like anything? Can I get your guests anything? Good afternoon sir Corzo!' The pokémon asked in too quick of a succession for Silver to truly answer.
'Good afternoon Albert, i'd like to see my father, if he's not too busy.'
The Mr.mime paused slightly, changing his tone so that it was a little more stricter, he shouted at a nearby Jynx,'Annie! go and see if our liege would grace his fine daughter with a reception!'
Silver couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She hated being so fussed over, all she wanted to do was be her own person, and be able to talk to her dad without asking if he had time to.
(Oops, sorry, didn't see that Lynx)
-
"I still can't believe that I went from almost being banished to being called 'sir'..." Corzo mumbled, then he heard 'reception'. "Wait, today's a lax day, what could the king be doing for him to have a reception organized?"
-
Albert looked gravely and muttered to the lucario 'I think he'll want to brief you himself, but from what i've heard, is that a group of lunatone in the lunar observatory have noticed a rather large meteor dangerously near to the atmosphere of our region.' He looked towards the young espeon and further said 'make sure she doesn't suspect a thing, an unhappy princess means an unhappy king.'
((btw, anyone can act as Albert or Annie))
-
(Yeah, we should. Golge didn't even post yet -_-)
Ezra walked in behind the Espeon, then looked at the Mr. Mime, his eyes open slightly wider than normal. He leaned a little closer to Silver. "Does he always talk that fast?" he asked. "And... who is Riku...?" he asked.
-
She muttered, 'yeah, it gets really annoying at times.' At the second question she paused uneasily and replied 'he was a jolteon just like you... but he...was...odd. My father kicked him out, even though he didn't do much wrong.' She said the last bit with a little venom in her tone, her face slightly shadowed.
-
In a darker corner of the village, Golge was busy conning unsuspecting pokemon out of the money. "Ahhh yes, it is a fine firestone isn't it" he said to a young eevee whilst holding up a jagged rock that had been painted red "oh yes it is mr Kecleon sir, how much is it?" the eevee asked, its eyes gazing at the rock in fascination, "well, this is avery rare stone, I can't sell it for any less than...oh let's say 2000?" "2000? thats alot....but a firestone is worth it right?" "oh most definately, I assure you that you will NOT be disappointed" the Kecleon rubbed his hands with glee as he handed the rock to the eevee and took his money, "thanks alot mister! my mom is gonna be so happy! the young eevee waved goodbye, and with a swish of his tail, ran off in excitement.
"ahahahaha! I've made a killing today! mmm mmm mmmmm smell that delicious money! yessirree Golge, you have it all! money, Jewels, and influence... speaking of influence, I believe that chansey running the daycare stills owes me protection money, I think I'll pay her a visit now..." The off coloured Kecleon left his shop, locking it behind him, before heading off to the daycare with a malicious grin on his face
-
"Yes, I understand" Corzo replied, then he looked at Silver again. "Since the audience is with you only, I'll go check with Ms. Joya at the Daycare center, at least the children arn't afraid of me..". Corzo then quickly left the hut and went towards the daycare, and also spots a Kecleon along the way. But, Corzo takes a shortcut through the 'slums' of the village, dodging and stepping over pikachus, rattitats, and the occasional in-the-way slakoth.
When he reaches the daycare, Ms. Joya, one of the few chanseys in the village, is in the middle of seperating two small machops who seem to be rather bruised. "Need any help Joya?" Corza asked, picking up one of the kids and holding him high in the air...
-
Golge walked into the daycare, immediately spotting Ms. Joya and the lucario "ahhhh Ms. Joya it's so nice to see you, and I don't believe I've met you" he said in a sweet yet sinister voice, looking at the lucario, "but I'm sorry, I simply don't have time to chat right now, Ms. Joya, I need a word with you....Alone" on the word alone his voice became noticably more hostile as he ushered the chansey over to a corner to speak with her.
-
Corzo almost thought nothing of it, but noticing the change in the kechleon's demeanor, he immedeatly went towards him. "Excuse me sir, I'm just wondering why you have to speak with Ms. Joya alone, the children can't understand us..."
-
Golge glared at the lucario "that may be, but I have private.....financial.... matters of utmost importance that I must discuss with Ms. Joya, Isn't that right Ms.?" he asked her with a faint glare. All the terrified chansey could do was nod her head. "see? nothing to worry about, now If you dont terribly mind...." he gestured towards the door with his hand
-
"If I don't?" Corzo asked, his body starting to raditate with the 'white aura' he possesed
-
"my my, we seem to have some issues with our anger don't we? as I said before, there is nothing at all for you to worry your little head about, What say we just calm down and....think of the children" he replied in a very hostile tone gesturing towards some younger pokemon that were playing very nearby
-
xiang perked up her eyebrow again when the little treecko had returned, looking more awake with a steaming cup in his hand. "welcome back" the charmeleon said as the treecko took his place on watch. the treecko nodded his thanks and stood at his post. xiang smiled, then turned and walked back towards the village.
-
The cubone simply yawned, lost in her own thoughts as she slowly stood up. She had felt somewhat static-y from something. Maybe it was the darker figure that had been across the lake.. But for whatever reason, she had lapsed.. Essentially dead to the world for a few moments. Gazing at the lake, she realized that she had even momentarily forgotten what she was there to do until her stomach began to rumble. She was somewhat hungry.. And the only place to find food was in town. Sliding her leather strap back over her head with the precision of years dealing with her skull helmet, she began to trod off toward the village.
-
(I'd appreciate that you would read the first post and post in the OOC thread. And wait for me to approve. -.-)
"You'r dad... made him leave the village just because he looks different? I don't think that's very fair..." he said, looking at the Espeon.
-
Silver looked a little sad. 'I know.. it's kinda a bit of a shame really, and you know.. I think my father did it also because he didn't want me being 'open minded'. She made a face and then imitated her father in his posh sullen tone 'open mindedness leads to rebellion!'
'Yes, it does. Being cheeky about me also will make me consider teaching you a lesson.' This time the posh, sullen tone didn't escape from Silver's mouth, but a grand aqua blue vaporeon. His atmosphere was graceful yet intimidating, and he stood with his nose slightly pointed upward.
'What is it that you wish to see me about.' He asked rather shortly, looking judgmentally at the unfamiliar jolteon.
'P-please father, I ask your audience with the esteemed wigglytuff in asking a request...' Her voice was a lot more unconfident and a lot quieter than her usual energetic, prissy tone.
'Which is?'
'T-to ask for this jolteon to have a place to stay for a while.' She replied, looking anywhere except her father's eyes.
He paused for a moment, and after considering he answered'I'll see what I can do. He may stay here this evening.' And with that, he strode off with the Mr.mime bounding after him.
-
The dark Jolteon's ears twitched. He gave an annoyed glance back towards the village and watched the Cubone go. He called out to her "That village don't take kindly to 'unique' looking Pokémon. Just a warning." Riku Turned and laid down in a sunny spot. feeling drowsy, he curled up and dozed off, the sun warming his fur-like bristles.
-
Rigor simply glanced over her shoulder at the black jolteon. She knew the town didn't take too kindly to weird looking pokemon, but the wonderful thing was, she could hide her difference to sneak in. "Hmph." she growled, a bit irritated by the jolteon's observation. Without hesitation, she walked over to where the jolteon was lying and kicked a clot of dirt into its side. She grabbed her scythe from the leather holster and swung it, stopping just shy of the Jolteon's face. The reflection revealed that the dirt had caused the dark jotleon's fur look a sandy brown color in the spot that the clot had hit him. "Hmph." The cubone's yellow eyes were slanted downward, giving off the impression that she was angry.. But really, she was pleased to know she'd thought of something the other had not.
-
Ezra smiled softly, then gulped slightly and looked at the Vaporeon, his ears folding to the back of his head a bit as he was looked at , almost inspected. "T-thank you..." he said in a low voice, leaning his head forward a bit. When the king was gone, he looked at Silver. "He's... a bit intimidating, no...?" he asked.
-
Silver looked down, slightly embarrassed. 'I guess kings have to be...even to their daughters, right?' She asked in a rather angry tone. She awkwardly sat in silence for a few moments, and then looked straight into the jolteon's eyes with a sudden smile and with a recovered energy in her voice she said 'well at least he's letting you stay here the night, that's an honor you know.' she finished, slightly smug. Prancing around Ezra, she claimed, 'how about I show you around the town, if you'll be staying here a while?'
-
Foxx looked at the Espeon. "Yeah..." he said, then sat too. When Silver looked into his eyes, he looked back, then nodded slightly. "Yes, I think so..." he said, a small blush appearing on his cheeks. He looked as the Espeon pranced around him. "I'd love to." he replied, smiling and getting up.
-
The espeon couldn't help but grin uncontrollably, He looks soo cute when he blushes! she thought.
Sprinting out of the door she said 'I hope we can become really good friends!'
-
The dark Jolteon was about to unleash a torrent of electricity into the Cubone before he came to the realisation of what she was doing. He gave a slight smile "Wow...good idea!" His ears fell back though "What about my eyes? Not exactly normal colour..." He sighed and rested his head on his paws.
-
Xiang walked through the village, enjoying the sun. she sniffed around and grimaced, she turned and started heading out of the village again.
-
She stroked her chin absently thinking about the eye issue. She wouldn't have this problem, as it was easy for her to shade her eyes with her skull or squint her eyes angrily as most cubones did.. She looked around, wondering if there was something she could use, but found nothing. She looked the Jolteon up and down, until a realization hit. She ruffled the top of his head until some of the fur on top hung in front of his eyes, then squinted her eyes angrily to see if he would follow her direction.
-
Riku gave a despondent sigh. until she ruffled his hair. Following her train of thought, he squinted his eyes. Seeming pleased. he coated himself in the rest of the sandy mud. giving himself a nice, even tone. He smiled and thanked the Cubone "thank-you, now I can go into the village and pay a visit to my dear family." He spat the last two words. He hated them for casting them out, just so they could keep their fortune. But instead of anger. A sadistic smile creeped across his features
"Shall we depart to the city?"
-
Silver ran into the square, with her new friend following her. 'Okay, okay... so thiiis is the main square, most of the street battles take place, Its really good for if you want to practice any moves, or just generally get stronger! We do have rules, and if you want to battle, you have to go and register with marowak over there, so he can organize good matches, and make it as fair and safe as possible!'
She stopped and waited for Ezra, smiling. 'Also, if you carry on down to the entrance of the village you'll find all the store--' She noticed the two pokémon entering the village, although they looked like average pokémon, but she didn't recognise them.
She recognised them to be a party of a jolteon and a cubone. Knowing the area, there could only be one other jolteon... Reading his mind she confirmed it, paused and turned around, continuing her conversation with Ezra. '--s where you can buy all sorts, from potions and special seeds and berries, to stat altering clothing like ''joy bows''! And over here...!' she said, running in the opposite direction of the disguised Riku, pleased that he actually managed to get into the village.
-
Ezra yipped in surprise as Silver ran off. "W-wait...!" he said, catching up. He looked around. "But if I don't know my own moves..." he said, then shook his head slightly. The Jolteon looked at the Marowak. "Mhmm, it would be a bit chaotic, if you had random battles here." he observed. "Hmm... Items should come in handy, in some situations..." he said, more to himself. Getting back to reality and looking around, the Jolteon hurried after the Espeon again, glancing at the two pokemon but not really caring.
-
Rigor nodded, covering herself in the dirt until she was a light brown like any other Cubone. She was somewhat glad she could help him, though they would both be in trouble if he got hit by water or it started raining. She looked up to the sky, seeing that there wasn't a cloud in sight, and grinned under her helmet. Looked like there would be nothing keeping her from a meal..
-
xiang saw a cubone and a light brown quadruped walk past her into the village, she looked at the quadruped, he looked familar... the charmeleon shook her head and went back into town. she looked around the square and walked up to Marowak and registered for a sparring match. the charmeleon stretched her back and waited for an opponent.
-
'...this is the chansey daycare center, she helps look after infant pokémon if their parents are away on business, or if they're on an exploration...' (Silver was sprinting too fast to see the face off between a keckleon and Corzo). Feeling a little out of breath, she took a break and waited for Ezra to catch up. Smiling at him softly she stated 'well thats basically everything in town, any questions?'
-
Riku entered the town and started to head left, down a short cut he found as a child to escape from the bullies that teased and beat him for being different. Snarling slightly, he wanted one thing. Revenge. Walking through the village, taking his old routes so he wasn't seen, he arrived at the door of his old house. The dark jolteon's body was shaking with a mix of emotions. He kept his rage on a controlled level. Knocking on his family's house door, he waited for a reply.
Upon opening the door. Riku laid eyes on his little brother. He was still just an eevee. Pushing his brother aside he walked into the house and saw his mother, an Umbreon. Riku shook hard, his black fur revealed
"Hello, mother"
-
Corzo looks at Ms. Joya and motions to the entrance to the Daycare. She recognizes the 'signal' and nods, breaking away from the keckleon and herding the children out on a 'surprise stroll'. "Now, please explain to me what kind of financial buisness you were talking to her about??" Corzo asks, cracking his knuckles, his aura jetting out from each joint.
-
A young Eevee comes walking through the streets, on his way to the Battle Square. He looks tired, and a little sickly, but carries with him a heavy looking bundle on his back. "I hope that Buizel was right, it took longer than I expected for someone to register for a match", he thought. "I'll keep looking for the blacksmith after the match."
He headed off.
-
Golge was angered by corzo's action, but he was not stupid, he knew better than to rush into a fight. "I am simply making sure nothing...bad happens to the occupants of this place, I have no desire to get hostile right this moment, Im a very busy kecleon, I have many financial matters that must be taken care of, so I must ask you to step aside" he said, barely suppressing his anger and taking a couple of steps in the direction of the exit.
-
"Just get out" Corzo retorted, getting out of the kecleon's way, but still not letting his guard down. The daycare was barely making any sort of money on its own, a money-grubbing kecleon would not be welcome here in the slightest. Then Corzo looks at himself and realizes its happening agian dammit, if I don't calm down, I'll lose my color and get banished. Not now, please, not today he told himself as his fur was begining to turn white, but then turned back as he calmed down...
-
"Hmph, yes yes im going, but don't think ill forget this anytime soon" and with that he stepped outside the building. "ill have to collect later, when that oaf isn't around" he muttered to himself, pounding his fists together in anger, "that pokemon has made a big mistake today, nobody interferes with Golge! nobody." he began walk to his home, cutting through alleyways to get there...
-
Noticing Ezra's blank expression, she smirked. 'No questions then? How about we go back to the ''palace'', i forgot to get something to eat, hee~.' She noticed the tired look of the jolteon and said 'I'm supposing you would like something to eat too?' :3
-
Ms. Joya arrives about ten minutes after the kecleon leaves, and the kids are still following her. "Thank you for earlier Corzo, I was afraid he was going to force more money out of me..." she said, walking towards him until they are about three feet apart. "Its nothing, just tell me the name of that idiot" Ms. Joya looked around in case the kecleon was somewhere nearby. "His name is Golge, and until you just showed up, I've been having to pay him 'protection' money, even though I barely have any left for non-essentials" Corzo's aura appears for a brief moment when he thinks about it, but then when he remembers that he abandoned Silver just to visit Ms. Joya. "I'll look into it later, I still have a job to do Ms. Joya, I'll be seeing you when I can, alright?" Corzo actually grins, but its mostly an attempt to lighten her mood. "Oh...ok, although I think Silver can protect herself, you're still on thin ice with the....'king'.....so go on then, off with you!" She said with a giggle at the end.
Corzo left the Daycare and looked around for Silver, 'seeing' her aura trail pass by for a moment, and he tries to follow it.
-
Shinder is walking down the streets...lost. "O.K., I'm lost. Was it left at that alleyway, or right? ??? Maybe It's through here, I better hurry!" He starts running full speed, only to crash into a Lucario after turning a corner a minute later. "Ow... Hey are you o.k. sir?"
-
Corzo felt something small ram into him, then he looked down. When he hears the question, he laughs for a few seconds "It takes more than an Evee running into me to hurt me, and what are you doing here all on your own...where are your parents?" he asked, crouching down to his level.
-
"Uh, I'm going to the Battle Square, then the blacksmith", he answered. "I'm also not from this kingdom...". "...and my parents are gone", he said a little dryly under his breath. "I'm sorry for crashing into you sir. ...By the way, do you know the way to the Battle Square, I got a little lost", he said embarrassed.
-
"Its more like a village, but we have a 'king'...so I really don't know" Corzo looks around, his eyes showing intensity although he is increadibly relaxed right now. "I can't explain it while we're still around the slums and other buildings, I can take you there if you'll like.." He said with a smirk towards the Eevee
-
"Sure!", responded Shinder. "What's your name? I can't really thank you if I don't know your name."
-
"Names Corzo, the one and only Lucario on this Continent..." he said with a pang of remorse in his last words. His mother was unknown to him, he occasionally gets glimpses of an albino Lucario giving the child to a large, dragon-like creature in his dreams, but the books say nothing on what that creature is, but he knows his mother was white-furred, which explains his aura color and fur change. He starts walking through the slums, being careful not to walk into other children.
-
Shinder follows. "Well thanks Corzo, you're a kind Lucario! My name's Shinder."
-
"I have a question Shinder, why are you in another village, because even though you are of the " 'vee" species, an orphan is still an orphan..." He gets halfway towards the Battle square when a fight breaks out at a nearby stall between a machoke and a Hitmonlee, with the vendor cowering behind his stall. "We'll be taking a detour" Corzo said, heading towards the brawl.
-
"O.k", he said, speeding up a bit. "The reason I'm here is because I heard this village had a good blacksmith, and I really need one right now. I'm also a traveler. Don't worry, I'll finish my business here so I don't cause any trouble for anyone."
-
"The only ones causing trouble are these idiots right here!" Corzo said, shifting attention from Shinder to the other two. "What do you mean you are going to buy out all of the berries?!" the Machoke replied angrily. "as I said, I already plan on buying all the berries, and none of them will be for you" the Hitmonlee said, but after only exchanging a few blows, Corzo shot an 'Aura Sphere' at the Machoke, sending it flying across the street, and the Hitmonlee froze in his steps. "C...Corzo...what brings you..H..here?" the Hitmonlee said, too scared to look behind him. "I was just passing by since Silver is with her father right now, and I just happened to be here as you decided to fight..."
-
"Wait...", interrupted the Eevee, getting between Corzo and the Hitmonlee. "Here", he said, dumping several different berries on the ground from the bundle, including a large Pamtre Berry. "The Machoke can have these." He didn't know what he was getting himself into, but he wanted it resolved.
-
Corzo looks at the Machoke, who is trying to find an 'escape' route. "Don't give it to him, he decided to throw the first punch, so he gets the last punch as well." The Hitmonlee then put his berries in a satchel, giving some to Corzo as 'thanks' for not hitting him as well before heading out of the stalls. Corzo then went behind the stall and lifted up a Bunneary, who quickly went back to restocking her now berriless stall.
-
Shinder put the berries he had taken out back into the bundle. "Hey, I think I see the square", he said. "Wait, I was told a Charmeleon had registered for a match, were is it?" He stepped forward a bit. "Well, thanks anyways Corzo. I think I'll wait here until someone else registers."
-
Corzo was already registering himself, obviously wanting to fight a bit more after the previous scuffle by the stalls. "Huh, did you say something, I was listening to the line-up..." he replied, looking at the leaderboard and then at Shinda.
-
omg
"I said I'll wait here for someone else to--Wait, you're registering?"
-
Xiang looked over at the lucarion and a new eevee who were signing up to fight. having already registered the charmeleon waited to see witch of them she would fight.
-
Riku walked back out of the now empty house. A satisfied grin on his muzzle, he took a few steps forward and decided to turn down an alleyway that he previously traversed through. Going back into the courtyard, The dark Jolteon spied Silver with a blank looking Jolteon. Avoiding Corzo by using shadowy back alleys, he came out in front of the two. A snarl was displayed across his face.
"Your father has caused me nothing but grief, I'm thinking maybe I could do the same...". His snarl melted into an evil smile.
-
Shocked at the sudden appearance of Riku, Silver wearily asked 'what do you mean by that?' Looking into his eyes her psychic power emanated from her shiny lilac coat, signaling a warning. 'If you mean you're gonna hurt my dad, I won't allow it!'
-
"Uh, hey Corzo", Shinder began. "This is my first time here. Are there any rules I should know about before we start?"
-
Riku chuckled darkly, shaking his head. Taking a step towards her he replied
"No, I was in fact thinking of something that could hurt him more than any physical wound" He growled lowly and took another step forward, dark electricity sparking from his fur
-
Out of nowhere, the Cubone came running with her head down charging until she smashed into the Espeon, knocking her down to the ground a considerable distance from where she had been standing. She growled, but no words came from her mouth as she stood defiantly.
-
"Uh...as far as I've been here, killing is not allowed, you're allowed to carry three berries into the fight, and there is only one fight per match-up, so losing a fight means you lost your only chance at winning, since there is no consolation prize" Corzo replied, then heard a growl behind him, and he turned around, seeing Riku and the weird Cubone from before. "Aw hell, what now?!" he walks towards the two, then notices Silver...
His fur was white from the hip down as soon as he saw her....
-
Riku looked up and shot a bolt of supercharged electricity (thunderbolt) at Corzo "Stay out of this, it doesn't concern the likes of you". Grabbing the Princess by the scruff of her neck, he began to sprint off down the alleyways, dodging and weaving, making it nigh-on impossible to follow him. Hoping the Cubone was nearby so she could follow, he took her out of the town, sending a constant stream of electricity into the Espeon's body to keep her limp. He wore an evil smirk across his features as his plan for revenge was coming into fruition.
-
"That....RRRAUUGGHH!!" Corzo roared as his fur turned completely white and he followed the aura trail, intending on at least heavily beating the Jolteon. His sudden color change scared off a few villagers and sent the rest in an almost permanent state of fear. That mattered little to Corzo, Riku abducted Silver, he was going to pay with either most or all of his life...
Of course, at this moment, his registration was indeed the last thing on his mind.
-
Shinder notices the change. "C-Corzo?" He turns in the direction that Corzo ran off to. "What's going on?", he thinks. He steps in that direction, but stops for a moment. "Maybe..." He runs off after the other two.
-
Riku left the village, using his superior speed to greatly distance himself from Corzo. Dropping the Espeon in the cave, he sent a few bolts to paralyse her to prevent her escape. Travelling back to the lake, he waited for Corzo.
-
Corzo was now in a full-on sprint, dashing through the forest, following the trail his 'eye' could pick up...
Soon he arrives at the lake, his body almost gushing with the white aura of his heritage, and no trace of rationality could be sensed. He doesn't even say anything, just charges up an 'Aura Sphere' and fires it at Riku.
-
Riku took the hit, grunting slightly, sending a bolt of lightning at Corzo in retaliation "Is that all you've got? My kid brother put up more of a fight than you". He lowered his stance, preparing himself for Corzo's next attack
-
Corzo, if he lacked battle experience, would have probably come in for another attack, but he decided to adopt a martial artist stance and wait for Riku to strike...
-
Somehow, Rigor managed to keep up with the jolteon as she tore off alongside him. She was a little slower, but was able to make her way into the cave where the princess was. As she stepped inside, the jolteon again darted to the opposite direction condescendingly. It had all happened so fast.. It was like a blur. She stood at the mouth of the cave, leaning on her bone scythe as if to stand guard. Every once in a while, she'd glance over her shoulder to check on the princess.
Her mind wandered as she stood there leaning. In all honesty, she missed her mother. She adjusted her skull helmet, and a sad, low noise cold be heard from under it. Tonight would be a full moon, and it was always painful to look up into it and see her mother's face. She wondered why she was helping this Jolteon.. She never liked joining parties with anyone. If anything, she liked being alone. The sad noise continued as she pulled back her helmet to look to the sky. Though it wasn't dark, the moon was still visible.
-
Shinder arrives a few minutes later, and sees Corzo fighting with a black Jolteon. "This looks too dangerous for me, but I can't just stand here... Wait were's that Espeon?" Something in his bundle began glowing, and he took it out. It was a big sword, one that was obviously not made for an Eevee, rather, a larger Pokemon. It was an old, worn-out sword with a semi-dulled edge and a crack forming on the blade. The only part that looked new was a round Sky Blue gem in the hilt, which right now was glowing. "What? It never did that!", said Shinder. The gem seemed to be glowing white, black and purple. He got closer, and the glowing got stronger. "I think it's responding to them...", thought the Eevee. "Then that means, that Espeon must be nearby too!" He took off with the weapon in his mouth, trying to avoid the fight while looking for Silver.
-
Riku grinned and took the opportunity for another attack. Charging up, he let loose his energy (discharge) all the power focused on Corzo. "Only a fool wastes their turn. He was growing in confidence now. He guessed what was going to happen next and so readied himself to try and doge the next attack using his high speed.
-
Corzo then tenses up, somehow grabs the energy, letting it course through and do its damage, but then added his own aura to the attack, and shot it all back at Riku at an increadibly fast speed. (Counter)
-
Shinder sees the cave and notices the gem glowing more purple as he nears it. He also sees a figure inside. "Why is she in there?", he wonders. He heads in anyway, unaware of the Cubone guard.
-
Riku expected this but he knew he couldn't dodge this attack, digging himself into the ground. He shut his eyes and braced for the impact. The attack connected, sending him back a good distance, landing on his side. "I refuse to let this punk beat me!" Loosing a roar, he got back onto his feet, his body shaking from pain before he calmed it. His anger built up and his eyes glowed a deep red, releasing all of his energy and rage into an attack, he charged straight into the Lucario at lightning speed, hitting him with everything he had (Last Resort)
-
There's a slight tremor in the cave, and the young Eevee hears a loud blast coming from outside. "What was that?!" He runs outside and sees the battle. Forgetting about Silver for the moment, he starts coming a little closer.
-
Corzo took the hit willingly, then charged his palm and slammed it into Riku's neck. (Force Palm)
-
(that move is actually a shockwave but w/e)
Riku loosed a growl as he was struck, fatigue was beginning to set in. He cursed himself silently. He knew he would be able to beat this guy if he hadn't used up energy killing his family and the running through the streets at top speed with a dead weight in his jaws, sending shocks all the while, tiring him even more. Still, he wasn't one to not give it his all. Charging up once more he sent a massive release of energy (discharge)
(Tailzwolf, if you don't wanna get hit, watch your distance, discharge has a big effect radius)
-
(Actually, I played diamond, and it was showed as a physical strike, so yea x3)
Corzo almost lost consiousness during the discharge, but knowing he can't last much longer, the glow vanished from his eyes. Although he isn't going insane, Corzo is now more strategic in how he fights. "You know full well that I was going to hunt you down if you touched her, yet knowing that nobody would care to nurse you at this point, decided to risk getting beat down to the point of never getting back up. I'm probably going to get banished for exposing myself like this, but as long as Silver gets back alive, I could care less" He puncuated that statement with another aura sphere.
-
He saw the Jolteon on the ground, and thought Corzo had won. "Hey Corzo, I think she's in-", he stopped, seeing that Corzo was more intent on killing. "Corzo? Corzo. Corzo!" Corzo didn't hear him. Shinder dropped the bundle, and ran as fast as he could the sword still in his mouth. He was extremely tired from today, and the sword had always been very heavy for him, but he ignored it and jumped in between the two battling Pokemon. He put up the sword to block Corzo's attack and got ready. He didn't stand a chance.
The whole thing was easily broken and Shinder took the rest of the force of the attack. The gem flew into the lake, and Shinder stepped back, barely keeping himself from flying too. "I think your friend's... in..." he passed out. between the Lucario and the Jolteon.
-
(LAst post for moi)
Riku let out a laugh "You think I survived this long without knowing how to look after myself? You wouldn't last a week out here" He hunkered down, ready to take the attack, knowing this would take him out. But it never connected. Opening his eyes he looked to see the body of the Eevee. Running forward he picked up the kid and used the last reserves of his energy to take Shinder to safety, instead of finishing off Corzo. Hoping Rigor was still at the cave, he arrived and set down Shinder, placing him near a few berries he picked from the forest. Turning to Rigor he spoke softly, he was too tired for any rage "Sorry about all this, I'm glad you decided to stay"
-
(Same here) Corzo got back up, although stumbling at first, and then started walking towards the aura trail he still felt...
Silver....please don't die on me...or my banishment would mean nothing....
-
Rigor had pulled her helmet back down so her face wouldn't be seen when she had the paranoid feeling that someone was there.. But as surely as it had come, the feeling went away just as quickly as it had come. The odd feeling snapped her back to reality, and she remembered her duties to guard the Espeon. It wasn't really a duty so much as a choice as she didn't want serious harm to come to the king's daughter. She didn't know why, but she felt that the Espeon's heart was different from her father's. Glancing around, she walked a bit out of the cave and grabbed an oran berry that seemed to have been left behind and fed it to her.
It was not until she reached her post again that the black jolteon returned with an eevee. She nodded at his comment and used strength to move him and the Evee to the back of the cave where they would be safe.
-
Tasting the warmth of the berry, Silver came to. 'uuhn.. what on earth happened?...' Looking around, she saw a very wounded little eevee and a very tired looking Riku. She tried to move, but the remnants of electricity made her movements stiff. She then noticed the oddly colored cubone, remebering her striking Silver before she passed out, despite this the cubone looked a bit concerned, particularly at the young Eevee. Silver forgot the particular situation, and focused on the welfare of the injured pokémon. looking at the Cubone, she asked 'could we get these two into some form of sun;light? maybe make a small hole in the ceiling? If we can do that my 'morning sun' might be able to heal them quicker than these berries.'
-
(...)
Ezra ran through the forest and thick trees as fast as he could.
'What the heck just happened....? It was all... so quick... he thought, speeding up a little. If someone saw him now, they would see just a yellow blur. He suddenly saw Corzo. He seemed weak, and it was clear that a battle had occurred. He ran close, then stopped, panting a bit.
"Corzo...! What just happened? Where's the princess, and who did you fight with?" he asked, looking around for some other Pokemon.
-
Corzo ignores 'Erza', too concerned with getting back Silver as he gets close to a cave. From which he feels several auras inside the cave. Silver, please be in here... he thought as he was picking up berries left on the ground and began eating them, some restoring his attacks, others giving him energy. By the time he was about twenty meters away from the cave, he recovered more than half of his energy lost, and kept some berries in his left cheek for emergencies.
-
Ezra saw that Corzo didn't reply, and sighed softly, just following him. "You know where the princess is...?" he tried. "And I want to help you save her." he said, looking up at the Lucario, seeming determined.
-
The cubone only nodded with a quick grunt and looked up. There was a boulder lodged in the ceiling that she could smash that would make a perfect hole. She stood back, digging her claws into the ground and shot up into the air, using her attack rock smash to shatter the boulder. As she landed, she darted in front of the others using her scythe as well as her body to block the falling rock.
-
Riku growled lowly "I don't need assistance from you". He stood up and walked away, limping heavily. He reached the other side of the cave, but something seemed wrong. He began to growl loudly, slamming against the cave wall, scrabbling at his head. "Arrghh! Get out! Out of my head! Aaaarrggghh!" Sparks began to shoot from his body as his mind flashed through images of his childhood. Always alone, abandoned, exiled, hated. "MAKE IT STOP!!" He roared, pounding his head against the wall, shaking the cave until he fell over, unconscious.
-
She had taken some pretty good hits from the rock, but she still managed to go and scoop up the jolteon and once again replace him from where he had crawled away. She laid him beside the others without hesitation, then walked back to the entrance, her bone scythe in hand. She was taking guard again, and wouldn't allow anyone inside.
-
Corzo got sight of the cave entrance, and saw the weird cubone again at the entrance. Regardless, he kept advancing, the previous shocks giving him a temporary limp to his gait. "Where....is Silver?" Corzo asked between pants...although he regained most of his energy, his mental state was weary at best.
-
Ezra looked at the weird looking Cubone. He then turned to Corzo. "Wait... you don't remember?" he asked. "She was taken by that black Jolteon and... that Cubone." he said, his tone of voice having a hint of surprise, as if he just remembered that the Cubone was with the Jolteon.
-
The cubone did not answer the lucario. She only stood in the same stance, ready to defend the cave. If they came in, who knew what they'd do to those inside it that were with the princess. She stared at the two almost condescendingly. They might beat her up, but she was ready to fight for the time being to at least give the others time to leave.
-
(last post for the night)
Corzo, hoping to not get into another fight, seemingly drags himself towards the cave, more concerned in getting Silver home than picking another fight.
-
Rigor watched as the Lucario dragged himself towards the cave, and as he got close enough, she put her scythe out and gently pushed him back with the blunt side of it. She shook her head, unsure of his intentions, then planted her feet firmly in front of where he was. She was not letting anyone in and she planned to make that clear if the other little jolteon wanted to try playing the hero.. She grunted, firmly sticking her scythe in the ground beside her, and squinted her eyes angrily waiting for the other party to make another move.
-
(last for me too)
Ezra looked at the Cubone, tilting his head a bit to one side. Thinking it wasn't a very bright idea to start a fight, he slowly and cautiously walked near. When he was near Corzo, he looked at her.
"Um... is there an Espeon there...? Because someone took her away, and I'm sure you were with that black Jolteon... and we-re a bit worried about her..." he said, hoping she wouldn't get all worked up and attack them.
-
Inside the cave after the cubone took off, she looked at the injured pokemon, regaining total movement and dragging them both more clearly into the sunlight, her eyes sparkled as the sunlight intensified to a warm glow, healing both of the seriously injured quadrupeds (Morning sun). The sunlight also made her feel a little less stiff and she shook, getting rid of the rest of the static that was gripping to her fur.
Both of the pokémon came to and she asked in a concerned tone, 'are you guys alright?'
-
xiang after hearing a fight down the alley way, broke off her warm up to see it. the battle was almost over before she had even been able to jump into it. she saw the jolteon and the lucario walk away. 'I'd better make sure nothing bad happens' she thought and sighed. she followed the two pok'emon to a cave with am oddly colored cubone guarding the entrance. 'cool, color,s but weird' the charmeleon thought to herself and walked up behind the two pok'emon. "back up has arrived" she said quietly to the lucario and the jolteon.
-
The sun shone down on the empty clearing as the Teddiursa walked through. The clearing was full of flowers, their rich pollen scenting the air. The Teddiursa was holding a Squirtle plushie in his right arm, and in his left hand he held a brightly-colored lollipop. It was a honey lollipop, made by the Teddiursa himself and the special honey his kind made.
As the Teddiursa walked, he came upon a small cave. He almost passed it by, but then he smelled other Pokemon inside. He decided to poke his head in to see what was going on. Slowly, he crept into the cave, before darting in with a bright smile.
"Honey-chan has arrived!" he shouted gleefully.
-
Shinder slowly got up, coughing. Noticing Silver and Riku, he quickly stopped himself. "Where am I?", he asked. "Where are the bundle and-", he remembered what he had done a while ago.
He looked up at the Espeon in front of him and asked, "Who are you?". She seemed kind. Why would someone want to kidnap her? "Are you Corzo's friend?"
-
Silver smiled softly at the Eevee. 'My names Silver, and you were badly injured in a battle from what i gathered, do you need a bit more healing? I still have enough energy for the both of you.'
She then responded to the second question asked. 'Yes, Corzo and me go back a while, hes kinda my minder too, even if I can look after myself...' She then asked the eevee 'So what is your name young one? And what is this bundle you're talking about?'
-
Corzo grunted at being pushed back, then charged an aura sphere, and threw it at the scythe, trying to knock it away so he can get to Silver. Corzo's fur is now a mix of the regular fur color and the albino color.
-
The cubone pulled back, the aura hitting her square in the helmet.. It knocked her to the ground, but it didn't take her long to get up.. She turned to look at the other two. Her eyes glowed wickedly, and it was on. She did not plan to attack, but since the Lucario seemed intent on it, she would fight, even if it were a losing battle.. Again, she dug her claws into the ground and growled, using her attack headbutt to hit the Lucario right in the torso, hoping it would make him flinch.
-
Corzo almost doubled over as he took the headbutt, but all he could say to explain himself was: "I have no hard feelings against you, I just want Silver to return to the village" His voice was barely above a whisper. He then made another aura sphere, and attempted to shatter her spine with it.
-
Riku's eyes snapped open. Standing up, he shook off the residual pain and darted for the entrance, there was no time for questions. Snarling furiously, he let out a thunderbolt aimed at the chameleon, intending to take her off guard and paralyse her. His blood red eyes seemed to be aflame with his fury "How dare this filth intrude upon my private sanctum, they think because they're normal, they have the right. Glancing over at Rigor, he began to reflect, though he kept his senses aware "...That Lucario, it seems he wont stop until I kill him, or maybe there is an alternative, I don't have to hold onto her for long..." An evil grimace creeped across Riku's face as a plan unfurled in his twisted mind.
-
News of the abduction quickly reached Golges ears, but that didnt concern him, what DID concern him was the fact that the lucario went to rescue her.
Gathering information from some streetears, Golge set off in the direction the lucario went.
when he caught up, the lucario was fighting a dark jolteon, after the fight the lucario headed to a cave, where he was stopped by a cubone, and the two began to fight.
"hehehe, it looks like he's on his last legs, this is the perfect time to show him why you don't mess with me" he said to himself as he watched the fight behind a bush before leaping out and shouting at the lucario "Did you miss me?" and firing off an odd coloured beam straight at the lucarios head (psybeam) not noticing the jolteon arrive
-
xiang was stunned slightly by the lightning attack. her muscles were stiff for a few seconds. but then her muscles warmed up enpugh for her to take a slash at the dark jolteon.
-
Honey stood there, slightly stunned, as the battle raged on. The lollipop drooped in his hand, and he hugged his squirtle plushie a little tighter.
"I'll ... come back later," he said, backing out of the cave.
-
When he was in the middle of trying to get to Silver when the psybeam struck the back of his head, his mind already vulnerable...
Then something unusual happens, Corzo starts to chuckle, then it goes to a cackle, his aura renews and his fur turns back to white. However, unlike before, the arua has a red highlight and his eyes are now glowing crimson. "All I wanted was to help Silver, but if this keeps happening, I guess everyone but Silver will have to die for that to happen."
He's officially snapped, and his strength is renewed....
-
xiang's head snapped around when her comrade started speaking of killing. she turned around and got between corzo and the other's in the cave. "don't do anything thing stupid. come on you are silver's personal guard, how do you think she will feel if pokemon are slaughtered before her." xiang crouched into a battle stance. she got pumped for a fight. her tail flame grew bigger, brighter, and hotter as it turned from a healty golden orange to a white blue flame. illuminating the cave behind her. hopefully being a bit of a guard from an attack from behind.
-
Corzo didn't even pay attention to what the charmeleon said as he was busy trying to finish off the cubone that decided to be within arm's reach of him...
-
Silver cut off her questions to the eevee as she saw Riku dart off into the blackness of the cave. She snapped her sight back to the eevee. 'We can talk later, this seems bad..!' She softly continued 'I think you should stay here, and i'll come back for you later, you're not fully recovered. You need to rest.'
Withe her usual quickness, she ran into the battle scene. Noticing Corzo's new form, she rand full pelt at him, tackling to the ground. 'C-corzo... snap out of it! I'm here now, you don't need to do this!'
-
Riku knocked the Cubone aside and smashed Silver off Corzo and bit hard down into the Lucario's shoulder, unleashing all of his electricity into the Pokémon. He locked himself in place as 10,000 volts of electricity flowed through both of their bodies. The attack was causing him great pain as his cells overloaded themselves with electricity, His eyes began to glow white and Black electricity began to flow into Corzo
-
"Get off you runt!" 'Corzo' yelled as he tried to shake Riku off, the pain of it causing him to shake more violently. Then he caught a glimpse of Silver and just stopped moving altogether. "S...Silver?" His eyes started to dim as his previously chaotic mind quieted down, and exhaustion took over. Before he could say or do anything more, his eyes rolled up and he dropped like a dead weight...
-
Rigor, tired of fighting, watched as the battle raged in until the lucario fainted.. She knew she'd pulled herself in too deep, now there were others involved, throwing themselves at an enemy to save her, and she couldn't stand the thought. She didn't like help.. She should be able to help herself.. She glanced over her shoulder, and a sad sound uttered from under her helmet as she disappeared into a thicket of bushes. Off to fend for herself once more.
-
Riku stopped the flow of electricity and let go of him. He tried to stand up but his legs gave way and he fell on his side, his face scrunched up in pain. Opening his eyes he saw Rigor run off. He tried to shout after her, but he was in too much pain "No! Please!...don't leave....you were the only other like me......and I didn't even know your name..."He shouted with his mind, knowing it was futile. Scrunching up his eyes to hide the tears as he passed out from the pain.
-
Partially recovering from the smashing she got, her sight straightened to see the dark jolteon and the lucario crumpled on the floor near each other. 'Riku! Chrono!' she gasped. dragging Riku closer to chrono so she could preform her morning sun attack.
She noticed the tears trickling down Riku's face. Surprised and sympathetic, she nuzzled him subtly, putting a paw on his face softly. Sharply turning to see if Chrono was okay, she noticed he didn't seem upset,-much to her relief- just terribly weak. Using her morning sun attack she called to the other pokémon, 'we need to take these two back to the village! Belle (a blissy) needs to treat them urgently, and my morning suns been used too much today, its too weak!' Looking at the pokémons sceptical faces she knew what they were thinking.
'I'll deal with my dads arrogance later!'
-
Golge stared at the scene unfolding around him in disgust "oh now isn't this a touching moment, yes lets save the lucario! save him so he can continue to stick in my side like a thorn." he spat angrily
-
Despite being too weak to fight, Silver snarled, 'YOU LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET ARRESTED!'
-
Golge bowed deeply and replied in a sarcastic tone "oh yes your majesty, of course" then he stood up and glared at the lucario
-
Despite the situation, Silver couldn't help but sigh sharply and roll her eyes. 'Well can you at least help pick up Riku?! You'll be pleased to know he doesn't like ''that lucario'' either.' She added sarcastically
-
Golge looked at the jolteon "an enemy of my enemy, is a temporary ally in my books" he replied and picked him up carefully "let's leave while im feeling charitable then"
-
'Xiang! Can you please take Corzo back to the village, and tell them i sent you both! I need to go back for that young Eevee in the cave!' Silver begged as she began to sprint back into the cave.
-
Honey wandered aimlessly throughout the cave. He had fled from the fight, and was now lost in the cave's twists and turns. After a while, he stumbled across an injured eevee.
"Ahh!" he startled, then looked over at injured creature, already tearing up. "Are you okay?! Say something!"
-
xiang's face twisted into a mask of disgust. she grabbed the lucario and hauled him up on her scaly and bony shoulder. 'i am sick of getting ordered around, by an ungrateful king and by his little daughter. it doesn't matter who your parents are, it's what you do in life.' she thought angrily. she ran off to the village, after all, she couldn't leave the lucario on the ground, for all he was a bit cracked in the head, he was ready to attack his allies. she brought him to the village and dropped him off at the healing center. as she turned to leave to her home, a small hound doom ran up to her and dropped a message written on paper into the charmeleon's clawed grip. "john, what are you doing back, where is dad?" the charmeleon asked, the hound doom just closed it's eyes in pain, turned and walked into the healing center. a long nasty gash was on it's side. xiang tore through the seal on the paper and read the paper. her eye's widened as her eyes traveled farther down the paper.
xiang,
when you receive this letter, please don't be alarmed. before you even read on, promise to your self you will take this news calmly and in a level headed manner. if you are reading this message, it means i have been slain in battle. the troops and i were ambushed on red back ridge. we had a simple mission, to scout the area and set up a base in the valley. a good defensible place for us to take while we expanded our lands. it was supposed to be easy, but you know about those words. they are as dangerous as "it will be easy". we were quickly attacked during the night. in the few minutes i had between attacks i wrote you this letter. hopefully this message will reach you soon. i am going to send this with the most junior of my troops. they are no doubt meeting with the king as we speak. i doubt any of us are left by the time this message gets to you. I'm sorry we never got to say good bye to each other. i love you xiang. follow your own path, make your own future. remember to watch your back my daughter. i will try to look out for you from above. don't forget all i have taught you over your life.
from zuko
PS. tell that grizzled blastiose----
and the letter cut off, seemingly that had been when the next wave had met her father's forces. xiang closed her eyes for a moment. she sat down hard on the ground. her mind was detached from her body at that point. in a minute, her whole world had came crashing down around her. the lizard folded the paper and tied it to her back with some spare raw hide. she grimaced and started running into the woods. there was a chance her father was alive. she would find out the truth.
-
Hefting the jolteon, Golge made his way back to the village, looking back to see if the princess had left the cave.
when he reached the town he took the jolteon to the healing center and decided to start walking back to the cave to retrieve the princess.
-
Shinder was surprised at the Teddiursa that had just come. "I didn't think someone else would be here". "...I'm sorry, but there's something I need to go get..." He got up, but fell back down, coughing badly. In a few moments, he was up again and a little better. He ran off, staggering. A little farther into the cave, he met up with Silver. "Oh, it's you", he said, a little surprised.
-
Honey gasped as the injured eevee got up and ran off. "No wait!" he called. "You're injured, you need---" But it was to no avail, the eevee didn't hear him. He followed the eevee as it fled through the caves, and nearly bumped into the espeon he saw in the battle when he first entered the caves.
"Wah! Sorry!" he said tearfully, falling on his rear.
-
Looking at the two clearly exhausted and slightly bewildered pokémon, she gasped in surprise at the eevee 'you shouldn't be running about, you're too injured!' looking at the teddiursa she smiled 'its quite alright, it was an accident.' Sat for a moment looking at them both, she decided 'teddiursa, if you don't mind, can you help me take this eevee to the village, so we can make sure hes properly looked after?'
Walking through the caves, holding up the injured eevee she asked, 'so what are your names?'
-
The teddiursa nodded eagerly and bent to heft up the eevee. He paused, stored away his lollipop and squirtle plushie, and carried the eevee (with some difficulty, considering it was as big as he was). Then the Espeon asked him what his name was.
"Oh me?" he said. He gave the Espeon a cute smile. "I'm Honey! Pleased to meet you!"
-
Silver blushed a little How cute is this pokémon! Regaining her posture, she replied, i'm Silver. 'I haven't seen you around before, are you new to the village, or have you come to join the explorers guild?'
-
Honey continued to smile up at Silver.
"I'm new" he said. "I'm on a pilgrimage, and I came to join the Explorers' Guild to become stronger and more learned in the ways of the world."
-
'well, you've certainly come to the right guild! wigglytuff is a world renowned pokémon explorer, he even went on expeditions with my father sometimes!' she smiled and added 'hes also a lot of fun and a bit weird, but has a kind heart.' She remembered all the times where wigglytuff had come back from expeditions, carrying bags of gold and giving them to the more needy pokémon...
-
Golge reached the cave and peered inside "im not going in there" he thought, trying to remember something "now what was the girls name....oh yes...Silver! Silver, do hurry up will you, ive things to attend to" he shouted into the cave, listening as it echoed along the walls...
-
During his time of unconsiousness, Corzo saw the same silhouette of the large pokemon that his mother had given him to in his dreams. Corzo, your mother entrusted your care to me so incidents like a few moments ago wouldn't happen, but I guess I havn't been doing much of a job keeping you safe from the so called 'king' of the village, but if you do wish to know just exactly who I am, you'll have to forget about your life in the village and travel to the mountains, if you need to gather a group to help, that would be acceptable. But under no circumstances must they follow you to my location... After the figure finished its monologue, Corzo started to stirr, barely remembering what just happened in his dreams.
"The mountains..." Corzo muttered as he got out of the cot. He forgot to take off the bandages as he left the hut, long before the Blissy even realized he had woken up.
-
"Well, my name's Shinder", responded the Eevee. He was a little embarrassed to have to be held up like that. Upon hearing "Explorers Guild", he looked up. "Explorers Guild? My dad used to be part of that."
-
Silver's ears twitched. 'Your father was a guild member?! What was his name??' She asked, a little excited.
Anything she learned about the guild was exciting. She loved the stories she heard from residents of the village as well as ex members of the guild, which most happened to be the most trusted members of her father's 'troupé' as it were.
Silver usually went down to the guild to talk to all the members,finding what criminal pokémon they had apprehended, and what treasures they had gotten on their explorations.
She wished that one day her father would let her join the guild. Hes too busy wrapping me up in cotton wool! she thought, and brought her attentions back to Honey and Shinder. 'Well, i'm glad we're all aquainted no--' Hearing the Kecleon she grumbled to the others 'what does that con artist want?'
-
Corzo had to organize his thoughts for a moment, so he went to the outskirts of the village. I'm probably going to get banished for what I did earlier, but more importantly, I need to get a group together...maybe I could talk to Wigglytuff into organizing an expidition into the mountains... he thought to himself as soon as he found a lone tree to sit next to. His body was almost completely covered in bandages due to burn marks from the electricity, theres a brace on his right arm due to excessive use of aura sphere, not to mention his fur is still black and white.
Corzo decided he had enough rest and got back up, heading towards the Explorer's Guild, expecting to at least run into someone who recognized him as a different color. I can't let Silver get involved either, but she does have a knack for doing the exact opposite of what I want...
This was going to be a long journey indeed...
-
"My fathers name was was Arrow. Arrow the Arcanine", Shinder responded. They were outside the cave now. "Hold on, I need to go get my bundle", he said. He went ahead of the others to were he had dropped the bundle. He sighed with relief, "Good, it's still here". He couldn't pick it up, it was too heavy for him now. He tried dragging it, but it was slow and he couldn't get very far with it.
-
Silver recognized that name, but she'd decided to think about it later. Looking at the eevee struggle, she offered 'would you like me to carry it? I'll just use my psychic to make it float!' Silver's eyes glowed, and a purple aura surrounded the bundle, making it raise up with ease. Smiling at the two she asked 'shall we continue?' And feeling a bit stupid about not thinking to use the move on eevee (but, in hindsight may have harmed him as it was usually used for an attack).
-
"Um, thanks", said the Eevee. He continued going."I didn't know the guild was here. What's it like?"
-
Silver's eyes shone even brighter, and with energy in her voice she replied 'its a beautiful big building, thats situated on the outskirts of the village, pokémon explorers from all over the wrold come to visit wiggltuff and his guild members, whom range from his trusted second in command, chatot, to brand new rookies, just looking for a place to begin. They go on expeditions far and wide, ranging from the highest mountains in the region to deep lake caverns. Everyones really friendly, and wiggltuff's always prepared to take on new recruits. Its quite an unusual guild because it deals with both explorations and criminal apprehension.'
She realized how much she'd rambled, and embarrassed asked, 'anything else you need to know?'
-
Shinder chuckled a bit. "That sounds a lot like what my dad told us." "He said he had been good friends with his teammates. Maybe I might meet them." He also added, "You're from this village, aren't you Silver?"
-
'Hehe, from it? I own it!' she said grinning, and gave with a playful wink. 'Well I can't wait to find out who your dad's old teammates were, I probably know them!'
She smiled at the though of meeting this 'arrow', but thought about the situation in hand. 'Before we go to the guild, we need to get you checked up at the health center, and i'd like to check up on Riku and Corzo.' She added, 'besides, didn't you hear that Golge calling for me earlier, where is he?' she wondered, as she looked around.
-
He was shocked at Silver's statement. "Own it?! Are you that rich Silver? Or are you the queen?" He glanced behind himself. "Huh? The Kecleon's gone?"
-
The blissy at the health center was making her rounds when she arrived at the room housing both Corzo and Riku. She saw that Riku was still asleep and making a good recovery, but when she went to the other cot, she saw only empty space where Corzo was once lying. "Oh dear...he still needs to have his bandages changed, he shouldn't be walking around right now, oh dear what to do, what to do oh dear!" She started pacing around the room, almost driving herself into a state of panic.
-
seeing silver approach, golge hurried over "ahhh yes, silver is it? daughter of the king? yes, im here to escort you back to your father, he must be worried sick, perhaps hes placed a reward! at any rate lets be off, im a very busy pokemon. come on hop to it" the greedy kecleon barked impatiently
-
Shinder was both amazed and surprised at the Kecleon's speed. He had gone from the cave entrance behind them to ahead of them without him noticing. "He's fast, but he seems pretty rude", thought the little Eevee to himself. "Wait", he thought. "If Silver's the king's daughter, then she's a princess!"
-
Annoyed, Sliver snapped 'well, if that all you want me for, then I can manage myself!' as she pranced off, floating bundle in tow.
She paused for a moment, and looked at the injured eevee and the slightly worried looking Honey and sighed 'you're pretty quick, can you get this eevee to the health center as soon as you can? Also, if you take the teddiursa to where he wants to go, i'll come willingly.'
Worried, Silver thoughtI hope Shinder and Honey don't think i'm being bossy to them, it'd just be good if they had less things to worry about. I can't keep Honey struggling to carry a pokémon the same size as him, and i'm much slower than Golge, so Shinder would suffer longer.
She glared at Golge, 'well?'
-
Honey hid behind Silver as the kecleon appeared. It quickly mentioned that Silver was a princess, and Honey stared at her with sparkly eyes.
"Wow, a princess!" he exclaimed. The eevee went to get his bundle, and Silver asked the kecleon to take care of them. Honey hid behind the espeon, and shook his head silently. He didn't want to go with this kecleon, he was too scary.
-
Golge's eyes lit up "oh why your higness, it would be my pleasure" and he turned to face the eevee "right you heard the princess, im to take you to the center, come now, i don't bite...." he said as he lifted the eevee surprisingly gently for someone of his reputation then he looked at the teddiursa "right, first we go to the center, then to where you need to go, do you need me to carry you as well?" he asked showing a very surprising amount of consideration as he waited for a reply
-
Honey hid behind Silver, gripping her fur nervously with a tiny paw, when the kecleon spoke to him. After a moment, he emerged and shook his head when it asked if he needed it to carry him as well. He shook his head emphatically.
"N-no, I'm f-fine," he said.
-
Golge nodded at the little pokemon "very well then, we had best be off" he gestured to the teddiursa to follow along, then began making his way back to the village, looking back to make sure the little one followed
-
Silver recognized Honey's fear and smiled as she muttered to him 'If he does anything to you, he'll know what he'll get.' Her forked tail flowed into his little paw. 'How about I walk you up until the clearing? Its not much to walk from there.' She looked around and said 'I need to get some of my energy back by sunbathing, so I can use my morning sun. If my father sees a scratch on me, he'll go berserk!'
-
Corzo appears for a breif moment in Xleena's eyesight before he continues on towards the Explorer's guild, bandages and all.
-
(Its Silver you silly :D)
Catching Corzo's appearence her face turned into a picture of horror. 'Corzo! Corzo, wait, wait right here!' She shouted. She looked from the teddiursa to the keckleon to the eevee and shouted 'JUST WAIT A MINUTE!!'
-
Honey looked back and forth from Silver to the kecleon. He took Silver's proffered tail in his hand and nodded to her. But when she began to freak out about the Lucario that appeared, he began to get nervous.
"S-Silver?" he inquired.
-
Corzo stopped when he heard Silver call him out. Man i'm whipped, the instant she says something I stop... Corzo waits for Silver to berate him for being careless, or whatever else she can come up with.
-
Shinder just watched and didn't say a word. He probably wouldn't be able to do much in his current condition, and he was still pretty nervous about being carried by the Kecleon. He was also concerned though; He didn't know what had happened to Corzo after he was knocked out and taken into the cave, and judging by Silver, it couldn't have been good.
-
'Y-You---! I was so worried! What are you doing not resting?!' Looking at the other 3 pokémon she stated 'Wait right there... I promised Honey and Shinder i'd walk them to the clearing'.
Looking at the kecleon's suspicious gaze, she replied 'i'm not going anywhere, i'll come back here. A deal's a deal, I just want to talk to Corzo.'
She smiled at Honey and Shinder and replied 'Shall we get going?' She looked at Crozo and asked 'Please can you wait here? I'll be back shortly.'
-
"Fine, but I doubt it'll be long before your father decides what to do with me, violent outbursts and all that." Corzo replied, leaning against one of the huts. Corzo look at himself and then realized how fragile he looked and sighed at his own idiocy.
-
'Don't worry, you won't get kicked out i'll make sure of that.' she whispered, more to herself than Corzo, and tail-in-hand with Honey, walked off with the rest of the party.
-
Shinder looked at Corzo's bandaged figure with a worried face. He looked like he would collapse any second. Then he remembered what had happened earlier, the intense battle, Corzo's rage, Shinder's sword being broken through and the intense blast of aura that came straight at him, but none of that mattered now. "Silver, wait", he said. "..There's some berries in the bundle. Um, could you please give them to Corzo?"
-
Silver smiled at Shinder, and replied 'sure, if he'll take them, hes a bit stubborn like that' Taking the berries to Corzo's feet she smiled, and ran back to the group.
Slipping her tail back into Honey's clutch she replied '...thank you Shinder, it was good of you to do that. I thought everyone would be scared of him, especially after he got you by accident.'
The Espeon's smile was warm and with a bit more energy said 'come on then Golge, I wanna be ''rescued" today!!'
-
Corzo looked at the berries a huffed Just because I look damaged doesn't mean I am. He then did a double take on the bag of berries before picking it up and shifting around for some oran berries.
-
Advancing to the clearing, Silver smiled and said goodbye to Shinder and Honey, feeling a little tired. Assuring them (perhaps with a few nuzzles) as they went with Golge, her forked tail waved at them both with her usual spring.
Turning around, her face got a little more serious as she walked back to Corzo, and wondering where her new friend Ezra was. Everything just went so fast, i'll have to make this quick so that he isn't lost where he knows no-one! She thought, as her eyes clapped on the damaged lucario.
-
Corzo looked up at Silver and sighed "What did I do wrong now?" was the usual question, seeing as how he doesn't want to guess wrong on what he's doing wrong.
-
Silver tutted 'nothing except leaving the health center half dead! I'm betting That poor Blissey's going out of her mind!'
She sighed deeply and continued 'at least your well enough to stand, I was so worried, you went mental in that fight.. I thought you--' She couldn't quite finish her sentence. 'Remember your limits Corzo, I never want to see you hurt again...' she trailed of and sat next to the injured creature leaning slightly on his bruised shoulder. '...especially for me.'
-
His ears twitched and a blush crossed his face when he felt her lean. He shook his head "I...Its my job and my duty to ensure your safety, even if it costs me my life, your father was quite explicit about that" He replied, trying to avoid looking at her, but finding it hard to.
-
She couldn't help but grin. 'Don't act all Mr. authority on me! My dad didn't say you had to come sunbathing with me!' Her eyes looked into his and she continued 'did you know your one of the only peoples minds I don't read?'
She paused and strutted towards the edge of the lake, looking at her own reflection, '...its because I respect you. Right now your one of the only people I trust, so I don't feel like I have to read your mind.'
She turned around to look at him square in the face 'So don't give me nonsense like that... and... I can't stand seeing you hurt just because of what my father tells you to say, or act... In fact, I never want to see you hurt again for whatever reason.'
She took a deep breath, pausing for a moment, before continuing 'Anyway, I want to look for that odd jolteon Ezra... he probably doesn't know what hit him!'
-
Fez was watching a pair talking by the lakeside, deciding it was none of his buisiness he set back to grooming his orange fur as it crackled and wilted a nearby flower.... he watched one, the espeon move off from the lake-side, always ready to stick his nose in where not wanted Fez got up and trotted behind a large flat stone, jumping up he lay bathing in the warm sun, watching the pair. He felt in a good mood, as he often did these days and rolled over his bright red body soaking up the rays to store, it really was a great day he thought to himself.
At the sound of "jolteon" and "doesnt know what hit him" he rolled back over to watch the espeon walk off below the stone where he lay, he'd always considered the espeon one the more elegant evolutions of evee and so he lent over the edge of the rock down onto the path where she walked, as he did so he began to slip and slide, his claws scrabbling for a purchase on the rock......
-
Silvers tail twitched at the disruption of the air. Realising the disturbance had come from up above she noticed a Flareon trying to keep balance another eon?? She thought, shocked at how many she'd bumped into today. Realizing the flareon must have been listening in on the conversation she felt a little embarrassed and asked 'who on earth are you?'
-
eck! Fez leapt back from the edge, him and his big nose, and ears for that matter! peeking over at the eon below he sniffed the air, "m'names Fez, and a'm sorry for listening in, ah just canna help bein curious. It sound'd like sombody got hurt bad?"
-
Surprised at the thick accent, she assumed Fez wasn't from around these parts. Perhaps from another region she accumulated. Looking up at the flareon, she inquired ' what is your business around these parts, considering you're so interested in mine?'
-
huh?, m'buisiness is to help others where ah can, when ah heard ya talk 'bout someone got hurt, jus wond'rin if ya want'd some help? Fez sat down on his haunches and looked down at the eon below with his head on one side....
-
'Around to help? Well if you want to help people, then you could go and enlist in the guild nearby.'
Realising how unintentionally rude she sounded, she continued quickly 'errr, thanks for the consideration, but we're fine thank you, we'll be heading over to the village now to look for a friend... if you're heading there you can join us if you like?'
-
a guild? well i guess ah could, b'a shame not to do somthing round here, yeah, i'l come with *fez jumped down from the rock onto the path below, his fur hissing and spitting as he ruffled it up*
-
Ezra walked out of the forest, confused.
"What just happened...?" He asked himself. He found himself out cold on the floor, and after looking around for someone, he decided to go back to the village.
-
Silver helped Corzo up with her tail and motioned for them to follow her, grinning and taking advantage or Corzo's current slowness, she sprung off, running on the path towards the village. She then spotted Ezra, much to her surprise. 'Ezra! Ezra! Are you alright??'
-
Fez followed slowly soaking up the rays, all to be stored in his fur, he watched as the eon ran up to a jolteon who she seemed to refer to as Ezra. Following her to the Jolteon and set to grooming his blazing fur trying to store up the heat....
-
Corzo tried to sprint after her, but his legs gave out, causing him to roll forwards about ten to twenty meters before he fell on his back. Thats right, I'm running like my body can still run like it wasn't injured He thought as he got back up, and with a shred of embarrassment, starts walking, seeing Silver get far ahead of him...
At least I should be thankful she doesn't read my mind, or she might not trust me around her....
-
Ezra looked at Silver and nodded a little.
"Yeah, I'm ok. Just a bit confused..." he said, looking around and seeing Corzo. "What happened to him?"
-
Fez watched the conversation with little interest, he looked up at the golden sun and lounged in its warm rays....
-
'Do you remember that dark jolteon I told you about...Riku?' She said as she looked back to see where the other two were. 'They got into a pretty vicious fight and... they were both supposed to be at the center, but Corzo decided to go for a wander.' Rolling her eyes she said 'Don't feel sorry for him, if he's good enough to stand then he isn't to be worried about!'
-
Fez rolled over, the grass scorching from the heat of his fur, standing up he walked over to the espeon and sat down licking his crackling flaming fur...
-
Ezra looked at her.
"Oh... and are you ok? I remember you were snatched away..." he said. He then noticed the Flareon, and looked at him, slightly cautious.
-
Fez looked over at the jolteon, noticing the tensing of its body and the ruffling of its fur he stopped grooming... "th' nam's Fez" he looked over to the other eon, his thick accent making it hard to distinguish what he said...
-
'Heh, yeah i'm fine... it takes more than that to shake a princess! Besides, I've been too busy looking after everyone else!' She said, her eyes catching on the frame of the limping Corzo.
-
a princess? huh, didnt know ah was i'ntpresence of royalty... and ah ne'er did catch ur name... *again fez's accent made it hard to understand his speach*
-
'Haha, i'd hardly say i'm royalty, my names Silver by the way. Where on earth do you come from? Your accent is really unusual!' She said, exclaiming the last part.
-
Silv'a? i like's the nam', and in ansa to yer question a've come down fromat the'm mountains, *he pointed up towards a large range of mountains easily visible*... fiyahs peak, s'always lov'ly and sun'y up there t'is, and if i aint makin' much of the sense t'you ah can alway's trie to do a more region'l accent for ye...
-
Corzo stops walking and looks at his feet, then his hands. Maybe, just maybe, If I have enough control.... he thought as he lifted one foot up, and made an aura sphere under it, along with the other foot. Using unsual amounts of aura control, he seemingly glided along the ground on the spheres, quickly catching up to Silver. "Bet you can't do this..." he said, sticking out his tongue and keeping pace with Silver.
(Used 'Aura Sphere' twice for this, current uses: 13/15)

Shocked, Silver didn't realise many pokémon lived up there, or even talked like that. 'Honestly Fez, talk how you like, i've gotten used to your accent already!' The espeon replied with a warmer smile than Fez's crackling fur.
As Corzo zipped past Silver, her eyes widened. 'Crimony Corzo, what on earth are you doing?' Impressed, she watched him zip about until his arms started to bleed. 'Ahh--- Corzo, you're over exerting yourself!'
-
Corzo looked at her with a confused face, then looks at his arms. "Oh.....ugh..." the spheres on his feet vanish and he falls down, passing out from blood-loss. The same silhouette from before appears again and now speaks in a condecending tone. Explain to me how you plan to meet me if you keep pushing yourself past your current limits, thats it, until your body's recovered fully, the aura will stay out of your reach. Then everything blacked out as Corzo's fur color changed back to the ones of a regular lucario.
-
'...Ah Corzo!' She shrieked. Looking at Fez and Ezra, she urged 'we need to get him back now....that idiot.' She whispered worryingly.
-
jeezus mate' is e' gon be al'right ye think? an' if your fine wi' it then ahm glad some'one like's it'! he smiled back and hurried quickly over to the unconscious pokemon, ah' don wonna burn im' doh, i'l try go easy on tah flam'es...
-
Ezra looked at Corzo, gasping lightly when the Lucario fell. He rushed close and looked at the two, then looked around.
"And if we could use something to drag him back?" he asked. Seeing a few branches and twigs, he sat for a moment. "If we could, at least, find a small log, or something we could put him on..."
-
Fez nuzzled the Lucario, when he got no reaction he tunred to Ezra, ah'l go try fin' s'min to carry 'im on.... with that he ran into the trees searching...
-
Looking around, Silver couldn't find anything. Shouting to Ezra and Fez, 'if you find anything too heavy to carry, i'll use psychic to lift it!'
-
Corzo began to drift back into consiousness and started mouthing something. As his voice started to come back, his request became more understandable "Berries" He mumbled, his body unable to move from the sudden loss of his aura.
-
Silver's head snapped in the direction of Corzo, seeing his mouth utter soundless words. 'Sorry Corzo, i'm gonna have to read your mind for a change...' She jogged closer to the lucario and her eyes glowed 'B-berries' The voice called out weakly.
Shutting off her mind reading she called out 'are there any berries left?!'
-
ARE THERE ANY BERRIES LEFT? Silver's voice rang out, Fez's ear twitched and turned to face her voice... he jumped back out of the bushes, "wh' kinda' berries would them be? ah' don' know wha'd they wou' look like roun' these parts" his voice was anxious and he was panting...
-
Ezra heard Silver, and went back in a slightly faster pace.
"Well, I found some Oran berries when I was walking back to the village." he said, going near a bush and showing them a bunch of blue berries.
-
Fez walked over to the bush, "them's Oran berries?" he gave them a sniff and a quizzikle look, "ah wouldna ha' known tha' we don got Orans up th' mountains"
-
Relieved and grateful, Silver called back to them 'good work Ezra! Can you two carry as many as you can? If we can get Corzo to at least walk, then it might stop us from pulling down any trees!'
-
Fez heard silver calling, his ear twitching and turning to face her direction....

Shinder was at the hospital. Golge had dropped him off earlier and left with honey. The Blisseys were in a panic over someone leaving, so he was put in a room with someone else to keep help keep track of them more easily. His roommate was an unconscious Riku.
He opened up his bundle. The remaining contents were 3 Iron Thorns, a Silver Spike, some apples and an Iron Ball (http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/b/b5/Bag_Iron_Ball_Sprite.png). He let out a few coughs, then a sigh. "Some day this turned out to be", he said. As soon as he was better, he would go back to the lake. He then had a though. "Maybe I'll stay a little longer and explore. If what silver said was true, then this is where dad used to come for those missions"
He lied down and started remembering his life back at his village.
