open Disciples of The Gods [Pokemon RP]

Revvy squatted down next to Skrelp and pat the Pokemon's had, the small creature not even batting an eye. Dragonair rushed back to Revvy and stood (or whatever serpentines do) behind him like a guardian of some sort. Revvy squinted at the girl, looking her over a couple times and then stood back up straight. "Nah you'd think I'm crazy. Although you probably already think I am... Well I mean... Hmmmm... I didn't get a memory of the dream or anything, but then again, I also didn't get a memory of her favorite food. So she could still be a follower of Reshiram... I'm thinking out loud again... It's nothing. Sorry bout that, just needed to make sure of something."

The boy's words were far too vague to be interpreted as truths or lies. Comet would have to ask him more questions if she wanted to figure out what his deal was, and expose the truth like Reshiram had said. "I am indeed a follower of Reshiram." Comet said, in a very serious tone. "I must ask, are you a follower of one of the legendary pokemon too?"

Revvy's eyes widened at the girl's confession. This must be the one Kyurem was talking about. What's Reshiram all about... Truth and crap right? She's probably trying to tear it outta me... Hehe. This could be fun. Revvy gave Comet a sly grin and shrugged. "I might be. Not like you need to know." That sensation I felt when she told me she was a follower of Kyurem... When I obtained that information I felt great. Like a rush of adrenaline. Let's try and get more out of her...

Annoying. Comet thought, as a scowl suddenly spread across her face. Serperior was obviously annoyed too, moving her tail away from Comet's face. "When a lady asks you a question, you best answer it with a straight answer, boy." Comet stated, trying to remain as calm and collected as possible. Not an easy task with how vague this boy was being.

Revvy raised an eyebrow and chuckled a bit. "Oh really? You're calling me "boy"? You're what... 18? I'd be about 4 years older than you, lass. And what makes you say I need to give you a straight answer? I don't know about you, but my mommy told me not to talk to strangers. Didn't exactly have enough time to figure that out." He said, rubbing his forehead slightly.

Mason

 

@,

 

Mason groaned quietly as he woke up, sitting upright and glancing around.  He immediately noted that it wasn't the same place he'd fallen asleep in - that meant the dream was probably reality.  The boy does sigh in relief to see his two pokemon nearby though, watching him with concern.

 

His first course of action is to reach into one of his deep pockets and pulling out a Dusk Ball.  Pointing it at the Froslass hovering nearby, he quietly says "Banshee.  Return."  It was warm here - not stifling so, but he didn't want the frigid pokemon to be uncomfortable.  He had agreed readily to bring suffering to others, but he had absolutely no plans of letting his dear pokemon suffer.  

 

He turns to look at the Absol sitting next to him, reaching out to pet the quiet and obedient pokemon on the head.  Darkrai's words echoed through his head once more.  You will be seen as evil and some will stop at nothing to defeat you.  Mason smirks from behind his scarf.  Let the fools think what they will...

 

Standing upright and brushing the dirt off of his trench coat, he turns his attention to the Absol once more.  "We've been given a noble quest, Gabriel."  The Absol listened intently as Mason said his name, obediently watching his trainer.  Smiling at his pokemon, Mason nods his head slightly.  "We're going to unite the world...  In the only way that it can truly be united.  Through pain and suffering.  Only once the world has shared in suffering will people start to truly understand each other."

 

"Absooolll."  "Heh, I know, Gabriel...  We will not be remembered kindly for this path.  But we will be remembered."  Walking to a nearby tree as he spoke, Mason presses his hand against the trunk on the side away from the sun.  After a couple seconds of concentrating, he starts to feel his arm sinking into the shadow...  Pulling his arm back out after testing the ability, he turns to look at the Absol who had stood up and walked over to stand obediently next to his trainer.

 

"Come, Gabriel.  We have important work to do...  And Darkrai give us strength, we will see it out."  The trainer and his pokemon turn to start walking towards Saffron City, Mason tugging at his scarf slightly to ensure it was in place over the lower half of his face.  Saffron was a large city - that meant that even in the day, the people who worked at night would be asleep...  A perfect place to start testing his new 'gifts'.

"I'm 19, actually." Comet said, calmly. Serperior softly hissed at the boy before being hit lightly on the head by Comet. Most likely for "impolite behaviour". "Do as you will, then. It is obvious you won't tell me anything. Such a shame..." Comet said, trailing off and turning away from the boy."I'm afraid if you were a follower of either Kyurem or Zekrom I could have given you a share of my power. Oh well. I best be off to the next town. No idea where that is, though." Serperior was then returned to her pokeball as Comet began to casually walk in a random direction.

Revvy shrugged. "Eh close enough. Guess it's a compliment if ya think about it." He smiled as she turned around and was about to do so himself, but flinched at what she said. "What uh... What do ya mean by that? Just uh... ya know. Curious..." She's lying... No she can't lie... What did she mean? No she wouldn't give me her power after what I just did... But still... she can't lie... Benefit of the doubt I guess.

"Reshiram told me that if I were to come across a follower of either Kyurem or Zekrom we could become one and become unstoppable. I-" Comet paused, realizing she was about to lie. She certainly did not want to "merge" with this person. Reshiram said both parties might die if they didn't match. And she obviously wasn't a match with this boy. "Sorry. The process is supposed to be difficult, and is a bit daunting, really. But I imagine a person carrying both Reshiram's flame and either Zekrom's electricity or Kyurem's ice would be very powerful. Certainly able to push people around and get what they want..." Comet spun around to look at the boy again.

[Ampharos 1,009]

Revvy nodded, not saying anything for a little. The adrenaline feeling was coming back to him again at this new info. "So... If you and I were to connect to you in some way, we would have the power of Kyurem and Reshiram?" Revvy winced at his own words. I told her who I followed. Crap... Well I guess she said it was difficult... But I'd gain so much... Maybe I could convince her to try it at some point...

 

Cedric looked around the forest a while, looking for anything unusual that needed to be tended to. His Whimsicott was bouncing behind him and Leafeon was stepping gingerly through the grass. Gah! What am I supposed to be looking for?

[Descant 1,897]

Soft loam. The sound of water lapping gently at a shore. The only thing that made Renee realize that this was not Mossdeep City was the air, cooler and considerably less humid than her home. She opened her eyes to see a clear blue sky, and sitting up, saw a place she had just seen on TV. Cerulean Cape. Where Bill lived. Or at least, where he had used to live, once upon a time, when he had invented the PC system. Now the place was haunted by several happy couples. Convinced that this was still a dream, Renee punched her brother, who conveniently was asleep right next to her. "Wake up, lazybones. We've got a god to please." With a yelp of pain, Taylor quite literally flew to his feet and moved to poke her in retaliation, as was too common for the siblings. "Oof!" 

 

Suddenly aware that they were being stared at by about a dozen people, both twins laughed, smiled innocently at them all, and jogged out of sight of the accusing faces of those who have just had a date interrupted.

 

They settled to a stop at the water's edge near the bridge, where they sat, dangling their feet in the water, muttering to each other in low voices. "You shouldn't have poked me that hard." "Yeah, well, that's not a way to wake someone up. It hurt."  "Hurt?" Renee's face looked puzzled. "You mean this isn't a dream? That was real?" She looked confusedly in her bag to make sure Happiny was still in her Pokeball. Taylor, mirroring her movements, went to check for his Togetic.

 

Murmuring in low voices, they decided that - since their mission was apparently to bring people together, they ought to make for the City, where there were lots of irritable people. Saffron was nearby, so they started south, into Cerulean. 

 

They stocked up on items, stuff people might want like candies and poke dolls and luxury balls. Stuff that might tighten bonds. In all honesty, building friendships was not the twins' strong suit. They felt oddly empty leaving the Poke Mart without any incredibly sour or bitter berries, or any gag Poke balls.

 

Renee could sense her brother's impatience. In fact, she felt... Oddly wrapped around him. Like, mentally. It was odd. Seconds before she was about to suggest, Taylor interrupted. "Those two said we could fly and run fast, right? If we go off the road, we can get there faster." "You read my mind," Renee said, with a soft smile.

 

Literally about ten seconds later the twins appeared out of the woods on the north edge of Route 8, casually strolling onto the road near where a shady guy was walking west. Incidentally, the same way they wanted to go. @

@@Ampharos, 

 

So, Kyurem follower? That was obvious, but I needed to be sure. Kyurem likes to hoarde things. I guess power must be a hoardable thing too. Hmmm. I was hoping to meet a follower of Zekrom instead. Not that Zekrom's reasonable. He's not. But making a utopia is far better than being greedy. Comet thought to herself. "I believe so!" She then said in response to the boy's question. "I'm afraid Reshiram was very vague when describing the process to me. All she said was that the being created would be unstoppable." The boy had outlived most of his usefulness by telling Comet who he followed. That was basically all she wanted to know. But... Maybe she could push this a bit further? "She also said that both parties might die if their minds are too different, though. So I think we'd have to get to know each other first. How about we start with your name?" Comet asked, smiling at the boy.

Revvy nodded slowly, processing those words. Welp! Definitely no chance in that happening now! Might as well keep talking. Got nothin better to do. "You can call me Revvy. Revvy Witlock. Nice ta tackle ya!" he said cheerfully, mocking the more common greeting with his own. He decided that now that he wasn't in Azalea people didn't need to know his real name, and Revvy was already a nickname for him so he didn't feel awkward using the name. "The one who tackled you friend there is Dragonair, and this lazy bum is Skrelp." The Dragon Pokemon dipped her head graciously in greeting, already feeling that her trainer was slightly warming up to this newcomer. Skrelp simply made bubble sounds and looked bored, as if agreeing with what Revvy had said about him.

"Alright then! My name's Comet." Comet said, paying no attention to the introduction of the pokemon. She was familiar with most pokemon already. "If you don't mind, though, may I ask why you want to merge with me? I honestly don't know why anyone would want to. I'm not very powerful, anyway."

Mason

 

@,

 

Mason's first alert that he was no longer alone was Absol's growl.  Stopping in his tracks, Mason turns his head slightly to stare at the twins who had just emerged from the woods.  Where did they come from?  He places a gloved hand on the back of his Absol, muttering under his breath "Quiet, Gabriel."

 

The suddenness of their appearance had put Mason on his guard, though he tried not to show it.  He silently started to weigh his options as he looked them over.  I'm to spread suffering - should I start with these two?  They're awake...  Nightmares would be more effective if they were asleep.  Wait, they aren't on to what I'm planning, are they?  No, of course not...  I haven't even done anything yet.

 

Mason decides his best bet is to play it safe - Darkrai had instructed him to keep a low profile, after all.  He hadn't been able to even test his new powers yet, and so a direct confrontation wasn't ideal.  Suffering existed everywhere, there was no rush.  "...Going to Saffron?"  Without really waiting for an answer, Mason turns to start walking towards the entrance to the city again.  As he walks he raises up a hand in a small wave that could really be taken in any way - was he being friendly, or telling them to go away?

[Ampharos 1,009]

@,

 

Revvy poked his fingers together and thought for a moment. "Uh... I dunno. I think I would gain all the information that you knew. And your powers... But if what you said is true- and being a disciple of Reshiram it obviously must be- then it wouldn't work anyway. our minds are clearly not alike. I mean seriously, you chose a path of honesty while I chose a path of stealing and hoarding. Not exactly compatible." 

[Descant 1,897]

@, 

 

Fully aware of Renee's misgivings, Taylor nodded, and said, "Oui, nous allons Saffron. Vous allez de cette façon aussi, alors?"

 

Renee tugged lightly on Tay's elbow, and murmured, "Sérieusement, bro, je n'aime pas la sensation de ce type. On peut pas juste----" "Calme," Taylor interrupted. "Voyons voir ce qu'il dit. Il n'a pas l'air trop heureux, peut-être il ya une faille dans sa vie, nous pouvons réparer."

 

"Eh bien?"

 

"Nous parlons français, vous savez ça, non?" "Merde. Sorry," Taylor said, flustered. "Yeah, Saffron. And you?"

 

They had completely forgotten about the whole 'you can speak any language' thing. Apparently they'd have to work on remembering what language they were talking in.

 

((Spoiler is for those of you who don't read Google Translated French.))

 

 Yeah, we're going to Saffron City. You're going that way too, then? 

 

Seriously, bro, I don't like the feel of this guy. Can't we just--

 

Quiet. Let's just see what he says. He doesn't look too happy, maybe there's a rift in his life we can mend.

 

Well?

 

We're speaking French, you know that, right?

 

Oh, shit.

"Well, you're being quite truthful right now." Comet said, tilting her head slightly. "Goals don't really matter. And I believe by similar, I think she meant something along the lines of the two being able to work with each other. Or something. I honestly don't know." Alright. So Comet now knew who one of the most important followers to her was, as well as his name. There wasn't much other use to talking to this boy. So she could leave whenever she wanted. Oh. Unless she could find out why this boy... Revvy, was it? Such a common sounding name... But that wasn't really important. "So, why are you following Kyurem, anyway?"

Mason

 

@,

 

Mason raises an eyebrow at the onslaught of (what sounded to him like) gibberish.  What the...  Are they Kalosian or something?  Typical for my luck...  He becomes even more suspicious as the boy switches to a language he can understand.  Mason was likely just being paranoid, but anytime he heard someone speaking a different language near him he usually assumed they were talking about him.

 

"Yeah...  Business in the city."  He was purposefully trying to stay vague - the business he had in mind wasn't something to be advertising, after all.  He briefly thinks back, trying to remember what he could about Saffron City.  He didn't know much about it, other than it was the home to the Silph Company and the Gym Leader was Sabrina.  Wait, he could use that!

 

Gesturing towards the Absol at his side, Mason continues staring straight ahead as they near the city gates.  "I've heard the gym leader uses psychic types."  He left it at that, assuming that Absol's typing would speak for itself.  Of course he had no intentions of actually challenging the gym, but a pokemon trainer taking the league challenge would have every reason to be traveling by themselves.

Revvy shrugged. "I guess you're right... I think I've always sort of been an honest person. Don't know if I could do it forever though. And uh... I don't know. I didn't exactly live a privileged life. Figured Kyurem's powers could help to change that. Ahem anyway do you happen to know where we are? I'm drawing a blank, although I think we might be in Johto."   Why did I even tell her that? It's not important. Me and my big mouth I guess. I wonder how Cedric's doing... We weren't really on equal terms before this happened...

 

@,

 

Cedric sighed in exasperation. He wasn't finding anything out of the ordinary. Give me a sign or something! Why couldn't she just tell me what to do? Had to give me the whole cryptic 'you'll know what you need to do' crap. Sorry... if you can hear me... Still not sure how this all works. Do you just want me to stay in Ilex or something?

Taylor raised his eyebrows. "I thought I heard it had a fighting gym," he said. He glanced at his sister, who shrugged. Suspiciously, they didn't sound Kalosian at all. Maybe it was just really faint. While the brother looked amicable enough, the sister looked a little warily at the stranger. "I'm Taylor, and this is Renee," Taylor said. "Who're you, then?" As this was said, they started taking a few steps towards Saffron.

@,

 

Sighing quietly as it looked like he was stuck with the twins, at least until they made it to the city and he could slip away in the crowds, he quietly responds "Mason."  He lowers his hand to rest it on Absol's back again as they walk, trying to keep up the disguise of a trainer taking the League challenge.  "...And even if it is fighting type, we'll be fine.  Gabriel is tough."  "Absooool."

 

Mason smiled from behind his mask - he thought he could make out the gatehouse ahead that would serve as the entrance from the route into the city.  Without thinking he clenches one of his fists at the thought.  I remember seeing in the news that Team Rocket did something here once...  Heh...  Darkrai give me strength and they will have been just the opening act.

"I see..." Comet said, trying to think of another thing to ask Revvy. Unfortunately, there didn't appear to be one. Too bad, as he was certainly being honest. Comet turned around again to try to see if she could find a path, or a town, or something. "Yes, we are indeed in Johto. I'm quite happy about that, really. I know about a few pokemon from this region I wouldn't mind capturing. That Dragonair is one of them, actually...

It always made him fell better when he was nervous. He tousled his hair about and sighed again. Jeez... Just Consuming those two images wore me out...

Not too long after Serperior had left, she was back again, leaping down from a tree, she pointed her tail in a vague direction, where a hint of where they were must have been. Comet's expression had reverted back to her original jaded expression, almost mirroring that of Serperior's. Though Serperior also seemed prideful of how quickly it managed to figure out where they were. "Excellent job, Serperior. Now, let's make haste. I think you could use some training, so we should find someone to battle." Comet said, patting Serperior on the head, and beginning to walk the way she had pointed. Serperior passed a quick glare at Revvy and his Dragonair, before slithering on next to Comet.
