@Flareon,    The Pokemon playing near the pond slowly came to notice Cass, looking at each other before one of the Poliwag and one of the Tympole try to bounce a little closer to the trainer in order to get a better look at her.  

 

((Sorry about my lack of activity. I've been having issues connecting, and MLPforums can be pretty hard to get anything done on if you're having trouble loading pages.))

Cass smiled cheerfully at the little Tympole. They reminded her of home. It was the Poliwag she was interested in though. They seemed as good-natured as the Ledyba. Maybe a similar capturing strategy would work on them. Maybe she could catch all her pokemon in this region without a single battle for once.
She held out a hand full of Pokemon food, inviting them closer.

"I have a Skarmory and a Kirlia back at Kalos. Though I did not bring them with me. It would of been much harder to travel with all three of them. They probably are with my sister at the moment, she promised to care for them till I return." Jason replied as he parted the grass in front of him. "What about you? Do you have any other Pokemon back at Blackthorn?"

 

Lumi noticed Noi as she landed next to her. The Glaceon let the temperature of the air around her increase so that Noi would not be too uncomfortable in the chilling cold. Lumi also noticed the Noibat having difficulty keeping up, she decreased her pace to allow Noi to be able to keep with her stride. "Glaci?" She asked Noi if she was comfortable.

 

Jason seemed to have noticed Lumi slow down. "Something wrong?" He then noticed Noi trying to keep pace with Lumi. "Oh. I guess it is alright if we slow down a bit." Jason adjusted his pace to Lumi's as they continued through the thick brush.

(OOC: Pokemon interaction I think should be kept to a position of what it would have been like on the anime. Their communication would mainly be seen as gestures, speaking, and expressions. I mean, does that sound fine with you?)

 

Allen chuckled at Jason's question as he slowed his pace in return as well. "Nope, Noi has been my only pokemon," he nodded, fondling with her pokeball on his belt. "It's alright though. I figured if I got better at training, I'd be able to handle another eventually." The thought of getting another pokemon had passed Allen's mind on many occasions; however, he did want to be overwhelmed with more pokemon than he could handle till he was able. 

As Lumi raised the temperature around her slightly and slowed her pace kindly, the curious eyes of the Noibat began to stare. "Noi..." she answered back in thanks at the Glaceon's icy, rasp voice with a friendly smile. The small, violet pokemon then moved closer to Lumi and chittered once more happily while now being able to parade without as much strain. Even with the flamboyant attitude of the Noibat, Allen smiled to see her ears twitching at even the slightest of noises around them. "I guess Noi has met her first friend," he laughed before passing through another batch of tall grass.

Lumi returned Noi's smile as they walked together through the grass. Lumi occasionally looked left and right as they moved on, she seemed to have noticed something but nothing showed up.

 

Jason smiled. "I think you are right." He chuckled a bit. "Noi did not have friends back at Blackthorn?" Jason asked Allen curiously. "Wait, I think Lumi sees something following us or nearby." Jason slowed his pace and listened for any sounds of movement. He assumed it was a wild Pokemon, which it probably was.

The Magikarp floated at the edge of the water, staring up blankly at Stella and her Pokemon.  It wasn't making any move to say it wanted to go with them, but it also wasn't making any moves to say that it didn't.  It was really quite difficult to tell what it was thinking...  If it was thinking anything, at least.  After an awkwardly long pause it finally opens its mouth, saying a long and slow "Kaaaaaarp."  The Magikarp moved to try and follow them onto the bank...  Where it promptly began splashing about uselessly.  It was a fish that had just jumped out of the water, after all.

Allen was readying to confirm Jason's question when he heeded his word and looked to the grass, seeing the many heads start popping up and watching curiously.  "Sentrets?" he questioned quietly as he watched them back. Noi seemed to be intrigued as she took flight and flew up a little to where she could get a better look at the many pokemon. At that point, she realized her friend couldn't fly so she landed softly upon Lumi's back. "Noi, no-noi," she chittered happily again."These originated here in Johto. You'll usually see them together like this since they tend to stick together in bands...It helps them watch out for threatening pokemon that would easily take one of them alone," Allen nodded knowingly before silencing himself. Why do you always have to be the brainiac? You haven't trained near as much as Jason. I think he knows already. It wasn't exactly clear if the pokemon meant harm to the pair, but Allen remembered his duty and began downloading the data into his pokedex before returning it to his belt. "They aren't too much trouble except for defending purposes...then they can be a pain together."

Jason stepped back as the Sentret hoard popped up. "Don't worry, I don't think they are aggressive. Though they have us surrounded which stops us from advancing. Any ideas to get them to go away?" Jason stood his ground and looked around at the Sentrets.

Lumi quickly took a step back. "Glaci...." She mumbled cautiously. Though unintimidating alone Lumi knew that they outnumbered them badly and she could handle all of them. Lumi felt Noi land on her back, she wondered if Noi expected her to be cold to the touch, since most people assume this about Glaceons. In actuality the natural body temperature of Glaceons are actually close to human body temperature, it only deviates from that during battle. Lumi took note to make sure Noi flies off if a fight breaks happens, since she did not want to freeze her friend. Lumi put aside her thoughts and stepped backwards one more time closer to Jason. She waited to see what would happen.

Allen chuckled, "Well, Sentrets are normall easily scared off. You'll know they're aggressive if they start drumming their tail on the ground." He then called Noi over to him who responded almost sadly to have to leave her friend's back. "Noooi..." she grumbled as she took flight again slightly above Jason and Allen with her eyes starting took speedily look at every Sentret in alternation. Already, her ears were picking up their movements in their sonar build, giving her at least some chance if something took a turn for the less of betterment. Allen turned to Jason inquiringly. "We could probably spook them into running away...though it could also backfire and make some of them attack," he addressed in a calm manner to his friend amid a complacent smirk.

Jason thought about this for a while. "Well... Maybe we should take a more passive approach here, since if things do turn sour we are quite outnumbered." Jason reached into his bag and pulled out several berries which were meant for Lumi and his Pokedex, he then turned to Lumi. "Lumi, be ready, just in case things go bad." Jason instructed as he approached the closest Sentret. Jason quickly muted the Pokedex, so that they will not be startled by the audio. He then scanned the wild Pokemon and offered it a berry. "Here you go. We just want to pass through. We are not here to cause trouble." Jason tried to make his tone as friendly and soft as possible. He hoped the Sentret will take the berry and leave or let them pass.

 

Lumi watched Jason offer several of her berries towards the Sentret. She angled herself as to intercept the Sentret if it were to attack Jason. She kept the air around the group cooler than usual and readied to quickly drop the temperature even further. She hoped that this wouldn't be needed, since even though it would affect all the nearby Sentrets it would also hit Jason, Allen and Noi. Lumi knew that Noi would be the most affected by this attack, and hoped she would not need to use it.

"Aud!"  Tugging on her trainer's sleeve, Audino pointed over towards the large map of the Johto region hanging on the wall.  The girl from before was facing the map, probably studying it.  Muna sucked in a deep breath, exhaled, and then approached her.

 

"So...I'm sorry for any trouble that I've caused you..."  He spoke once he was several feet behind her.  Muna then walked up closer so that he was now standing to her side.  "I, uhm, can reimburse you for your help if you'd like-"  The coffee-toned man heard his Audino "cough", after which she gave him a pointed look and he rolled his eyes in response before continuing to speak.  "My name's Munashe, by the way, and...err...thank you."

"Sable..."  Muna repeated under his breath, committing her name to memory.  She was a little blunt, verging on being rude, but then again so was he.  He was definitely not one to judge, especially considering the current circumstances.

 

Muna smirked when Sable boldly called him 'pretty boy', raising an amused eyebrow.  This girl had some spunk in her, which was admirable.  "Sounds doable.  What do you say, Audino?"  Muna asked his partner.  Normally he would offer to lend Audino's strength to the battle as well as her healing abilities, for she possessed a remarkable Secret Power, but he figured it was best to hold of on using her full potential unless absolutely necessary.

 

"Audino!"  She replied with fervor, clapping her hands excitedly.  One thing that Muna always admired was her enthusiastic spirit.

 

"Alrighty then, it's settled.  Audino and I will help you get that Galvantula.  Let us leave at once!"  Muna declared, beckoning Sable toward the door as he made for the exit himself, Audino toddling after him joyfully.  Muna and Audino were partners that often fed off of each other's excitement, which has always created an interesting dynamic between the two.

 

Upon stepping outside, Muna winced at the sunlight and struggled through his bag's contents until he found his sunglasses to put on once again.  Audino mimicked his actions, putting on her own matching pair.  The two of them made quite the sight.

 

Recalling something Sable had mentioned just moments ago, Muna began speaking as he took in the view of Cherrygrove City.  The sea was quite a pretty sight; maybe some other time he'll come back for a relaxing getaway.  "Oh, by the way, Sable, you mentioned that you were from where Joltik are native to?  Unova, yes?"  Without waiting for a response he continued.  "I happen to be from the very same region!  No doubt you have read my article in the Unova newspaper, 'Things That Are #2fab4u', am I correct?"  His chest puffed out proudly as he spoke of his article, causing Audino to muffle a good-humored giggle into her scarf.

...Until a Rattata burst from the grass, grabbed the offered berries, and took off back right in between two of the Sentrets.  "Sentret!!!"  The pack of Sentrets all fell backwards at seemingly the same time.  They seemed confused.  Drumming their tails against the ground in unison, most of them take off after the Rattata to try and retrieve the stolen berries.  One of them stays to stare at the two trainers before abruptly standing upright on its tail again, opening its mouth and using a Growl attack.  It seemed the sudden move by the Rattata had spooked them, and this one was going to try and buy time for its brothers to escape.

With her two pokemon out for the count, and her being cornered, she would have to think fast. When one of the Zubats came close, she instinctively hit it with Magikarp, holding him from the tail.

Unfortunately the shard of ice only grazed the tail of the Rattata and the rat made off with the berries. "Well that was unexpected..." Jason mumbled as he watched the Rattata flee avoiding another of Lumi's ice attacks. By now most of the Sentrets either fled or chased after the Rattata which left just one confronting Jason, Allen, Noi and Lumi.

Lumi nodded in acknowledgement to Jason's request. Lumi knew not to underestimate an opponent, and this was no exception. The temperature dropped to subzero levels and the air swirled around Lumi. The moisture in the air solidified and either turned into snow or ice and the visibility became almost nonexistent. The Glaceon seemed to disappear in the white snowstorm, becoming almost invisible. Lumi slowly moved around the now snow covered grass, the air around her still swirling with snow and ice. She was several feet away from the Sentret when she struck. In a blink of an eye half a dozen razor sharp shards of ice flew through the whiteout, the first four landed around the Sentret, leaving spikes ice stuck to the floor around it, one flew over its head and final one headed straight towards the Sentret's chest. Though the final shard of ice was angled so that it hit the Sentret with the blunt side. If it connects this would hurt, but wouldn't badly injure or maim the wild Sentret. Lumi quickly repositioned in order to avoid any counter attack thrown towards the origin of the attack. She remained hidden in the snowstorm, hoping her attack was enough to scare the Sentret away.

 

Jason stood near the edge of Lumi's snowstorm trying to see what was happening inside. He adjusted his jacket, which he now was glad he was wearing. He was used to Lumi's snowstorms, though he wondered if the same could be said for his friend. He looked around and saw Allen nearby. "Sorry about the snowstorm, Lumi tends to create them when she battles." Jason said as he walked next to his friend.

Or she might have still been a bit confused from the Zubat. "All of my other pokemon were hurt... There was nothing I could do... Plus how else is a Magikarp useful anyway?" She said.

 

As Helioptile picked up on the other trainer's hostility, she growled lowly. Stella usually took hostility one of two ways. The first was to react to it in a sarcastic manner, and the second was to be incredibly nervous and shaky. She had seemingly picked the second option this time. This trainer didn't seem very nice. Helioptile then began to glow, as if signaling for the two to get moving.

Allen watched curiously observant of the battle, seeing Lumi go about her business of a well trained pokemon. He shook his head at how skilled she was before turning and watching Jason with a slight smile. The trainer didn't even have to instruct Lumi to do anything, as the Glaceon seemed to do what she desired on her own. "It's alright. I live right next to Ice Path," Allen explained distantly as his attention redirected to the Glaceon and the Sentret. "I've adjusted to the cold. It's funny really...We train there to attempt to make our dragon pokemon more resilient to the cold. Noi and I, seemed to have a lot more trouble than the others though." 

 

Noi was furiously watching, wanting into the action so badly as she waited for Allen to give her the command to join; however, he refused, understanding that she wanted in with her dragon blood ensuing...but control was a wiser path. Chittering up a storm, the Noibat stopped flying in circles and began hovering while flapping speedily above. She pleased Allen in her ability to contain herself and be patient even though she was flying around in circles over Jason and Allen spasmodically. "Normal types of the weaker caliber always seem to have Foresight in case of ghost types ironically. You may have to actually give a fight back Jason before it greatens its defenses too high."

Meanwhile in Ecruteak City

 

The pounding on his door happening at the same time as his phone ringing...  Somehow without even answering either of them, Morty already knew who it was.  Picking up his Pokegear and hitting the answer call button at the same time he opens the door, he abruptly hangs up the phone and sets it back down.  "What's got you so worked up Eusine?"

 

Eusine was on the other side of the door, still holding his phone up to his ear with a smile.  "There you are, Morty!  I tried your Gym first but you weren't there!  Come with me, come with me!  The beasts have returned to the Burned Tower!  Come see!"

 

Ecruteak's Gym Leader blinks a couple of times as Eusine abruptly grabs him by the wrist and starts to drag him out of his home, towards the direction of the Burned Tower.  "Wait, slow down for a minute and explain, would you?  Are you saying all three of them are back?"

 

Eusine does pause at this, a brief look of disappointment crossing his face.  "Well, no...  Only Entei and Raikou...  But as much as I would love to see Suicune again, at least I know he's in good hands.  Even if they aren't mine..."  Morty just chuckles quietly before placing a hand on his friend's shoulder, nodding towards the direction of the Burned Tower again.

 

"Oh, cheer up would you?  It's not like you don't visit them...  Oh don't give me that shocked look, I know you Eusine.  Let me guess, at least twice a month?"  "Why, I!  ...Three times."  Laughing again, the Gym Leader starts walking towards the Tower and the pair of Pokemon that Eusine wanted him to see so badly.  "Figures...  Well, let's go then.  I doubt we can get close to them, but it will be nice to see them from afar again before I open up the Gym today."

((OOC: Shame we are limited to only four moves. A tackle would be pretty good here. ))

 

Lumi was surprised as the Sentret charged her. She did not expect the Sentret to spot her with foresight, nor did she expect the Sentret to attack so aggressively. Lumi attempted to dodge to the side yet the Sentret seemed to easily predict where she moved towards and corrected its attack. Lumi briefly yelped out in pain as the normal type's attack connected. The already freezing air around the two Pokemon dropped to even colder degrees as Lumi counter attacked with a powerful gust of icy wind. The grass in the area froze solid as the water in the leaves quickly turned to ice. As this happened Lumi conjured up another barrage of Ice Shards and threw it straight towards the Sentret right in front of her as she gracefully leaped backwards landing on all fours creating distance between the two combatants. Lumi hoped the cold winds and the ice were enough to either cause the Sentret to flee, freeze or faint. This time she prepared for another of the Sentret's attacks and readied another wave of ice shards to fire at it in counter attack.

Jason could barely see Lumi in the snowstorm, for the white snow and ice in the air masked Lumi's form easily. Though Jason saw the Sentret a brown spot among the white. He turned to Allen. "Noi's problem may lie in the fact both of his types are weak to ice, making him more vulnerable compared to other dragons." Jason tried to explain as he noticed Lumi take a hit from the Sentret. Allen quickly explained what had happened. "I see. Though even if the Sentret can spot Lumi, I trust that she is capable of handling it. Its attacks don't seem to be that strong." Jason considered catching the Sentret, but he decided against it. The other Sentret would miss their friend and he did not really want one either. Noi passing interrupted Jason's thoughts. "Looks like Noi wants to help. I could have Lumi drop the hail if you want to have him battle." He told Allen.
