"So help me Raikou, that little monster is going to get me in trouble," "Get a leash for him?" "That'd be mean for the little guy," >: "Well we gotta do something. Because at some point somebody is going to snag him," the water titan turtle pointed out, looking down at the three in front of him. The black dog, Mightyena, wagged his tail, looking back at the turtle, then up at the human girl next to him, who had her head angled up at the sky, pinching the bridge of her nose. "I hope not. He's friendly enough that he wouldn't realize it till it was too late and he was on Icicle Island or something," Steely sighed, shaking her head. The Sandslash on the opposite side of the Mightyena chittered up at her worriedly, puffing her spikes out. "Get to sniffing Maelstrom, we'll find him," The dark dog snorted, and stuck his nose to the ground, searching for that elusive Riolu... -- Who was terrorizing people! There was something yellow. It was yellow and brown and had something shiny around its neck and he wanted it omg. The little terror, Hurricane the Riolu, was perching on the edge of a rooftop, his tail twitching as he watched the little group approach. Normally not a thief, he wanted that shiny, pretty sounding bell. With a wiggle of his tail, the jackal Pokemon pounced, thus starting something that would once again change the lives of both Trainer's involved. Or something Dramatic like that. |

.3 ![]() So for some reason, our wandering trainer is wandering the grounds outside the tournament. The purpose of this trip is unknown as of yet. Probably to see how boned she's going to be in the future. "And people wonder why my self esteem is so low," Cerb grumbled, slouching along past some picnic tables and trashcans, and people doing who knew what. Somewhere in front of her meandered Sparky, the angry bastard Pikachu. His Soothe Bell jingled customarily with every step, the only thing alerting his trainer to his continued presence. Without it, he could've been halfway to Deepwood before she blinked. Sparky himself was just looking for leftover foods to eat, because food was good and he was hungry and nobody else was gonna eat it. :< Sniffing at the ground, the Pikachu paused when he noticed his shadow suddenly get larger. Um... "Pikaaa!" Cerb screeched and nearly had a heart attack as Sparky's electrified tail slashed through the air towards his little blue attacker, aiming to swat him off and maybe give him some paralysis to think about with Static. "DAMMIT, DON'T DO THAT," she hollered, before bothering to see what the thing actually was. O frick, a Riolu. Sparky just attempted to clobber somebody's Riolu. "ACK SPARKY SOMEBODY'S GONNA KILL US WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU," "Piiii," Sparky hissed, bristling his fur as sparks streaked through it. Ain't nobody gonna be taking his shiny bell. |

.3 ![]() Like the tiny, blue and black ninja, Hurricane threw a paw out towards the Pikachu's tail as he dove, his little fingers flattening out against the tail and rebounding the momentum from both the tail and his own body falling and bouncing back. Landing paws first, his legs gave and he rolled backwards once, flipping to come upright, bouncing from paw to paw and clapping his hands. It didn't seem that the Pika's static did anything, this time. The Riolu barked a few times, and shook his head, letting his ears flop around. He got into a battle ready stance, legs spread and knees bent, one paw out facing Sparky and the other tucked to his side... just as Steely and her group walked up behind him. "What the hell trouble are you getting into?" she asked, reaching down and gathering up the ball of muscle into her arms. He squirmed and wiggled, growling and barking and flailing and generally being a pain in the ass. While this was going on, Chaos, Backlash, and Maelstrom were blinking over at Cerby and her Pikachu, rather blankly. The Blastoise reached up to scratch his ear, Backers chittered curiously, and Maelstrom... Was Maelstrom. D: He trotted right over to the other girl, tongue lolling merrily out of his mouth and trying to look as Adorable as he could so he'd get petted. |

.3 ![]() Cerb just flailed even more when the apparent owner of the Riolu showed up. But it looked like the little ninja hadn't been hurt by Sparky...being Sparky, so maybe she should just keep her mouth shut about it. ..ohey look, a Mightyena! "Puuuuuuuuuuppy!" Cerb squealed gleefully, practically throwing herself on the dark dog and hugging his neck, digging her fingers into his fluffy back fur. "I want one..." Well don't strangle this one, geez. Meanwhile, Sparky was still glaring at the Riolu, up until his trainer played the part of a stupid ditz. The Pikachu facepalmed, fur giving a few more ruffles until the last of the static discharge fizzled out before he padded over and bitchslapped Cerb hard with the end of his tail. Needless to say, she got laid out flatter than a Persian rug. "Paaaain. ;_;" "Pi. :|" |

.2 ![]() Hurricane struggled and flailed in Steely's arms right up until Maelstrom got... glomped. Then they all stopped and stared at the girl and Maelstrom. The dog was eating up the attention. He panted and wagged his tail and tried his best to lick Cerby's neck/ears/hair, and didn't seem to care at all that he was getting strangled. Or not strangled, whatever. "Uh. Thank you?" Steely was a little baffled on what to say to that one, but didn't seem to care at all about her Pokemon getting cuddled. She knew that Mally liked that sort of thing. The lot of them jumped when the Pikachu was an Evil Bastard and smacked his own trainergirl in the face. His eyes bugging in surprise, he looked back at the Pikachu, his lips curling back to reveal his teeth as he snarled. "Hey! What the hell, you little bastard," :K Backers chittered and walked over to help Cerby up, 'cause she was just a nice Sandslash like that. Steely didn't even notice Hurricane slip from her arms and bark at the Pikachu, pointing at him and growling. "Um..." Chaos was busy making :| faces. |

.3 ![]() Sparky sniffed and didn't give an answer. 'cuz y'know, he was the Bastard Pikachu and he didn't need to have reasons behind his actions and whatever. Still huffing and ignoring the Pokemon snarling and barking and making faces at him, he turned around and started grooming his fur. Hey, it isn't going to keep itself clean. "Ow, my cheek...and my glasses...I think he broke my gla - O no he didn't," Yep, that was Cerb boggling at Backlash. Because it was an actual Sandslash several inches from her nose. From somewhere inside her pocket, the necessary red device lit up and beeped, though nobody listened to it. Grumbling and rubbing at her face and rapidly reddening cheek, Cerb pushed herself up from the grass with the help of Backers and made her first priority kicking her Pikachu lightly in the rear. "Pika!" "If I was standing, I'd punt you. :< But now you have to lick mud off your arse, so ha," Grr'ing, Sparky wrinkled his snout and started to try and clean off the footprint marring his backside. Cerb stuck her tongue out at him and finally scrambled to her feet, brushing grass blades and dirt off her jacket. "Okay, where was I," Pause. "Orite, the puppy," Shoom. Back to glomping Maelstrom. |

.3 ![]() Making concerned noises, Backlash sidestepped to help the girl sit up, using the flat sides of her claws to push her up. She scrambled back around to see if her glasses were broken, getting a little too close for comfort for most people. But, hey, she didn't have the best eyes either. Wiggling her tail, apparently satisfied, she trotted back over to her own human friend. Maelstrom was just about to take a bite out of the little yellow bastard ignoring him, when the rat was kicked in his rear end. Barking a short laugh, it was only short because he was glomped again a second later, and went back to being petted and paid attention to and all that. "omg Steely can we keep her?" <3 "No. Because we'd have to get one of you fixed, I think, and I don't have the money for that," "Hey," >: The three of them quietly watched for a second before Steely got almost annoyed and cleared her throat loudly so the other girl would Hear Her. "Hello?" And down on the ground, Hurricane frowned and glared at the Pikachu ignoring all of them. Growling softly, he snorted and boldly trotted up to the Pikachu. His eyes flickered, remembering what it had done before... And with the grace and precision that Sparky had just displayed with his tail slap, Hurricane copied it, smacking the electric rat in the face with his small black tail. Landing after the spin, he crossed his arms and stared at the rat, to see what he'd do. |

.3 ![]() Cerb poked her head up over Mally's back when there was someone else speaking to her, apparently. "Hello," she said, looking a bit blank at the older girl while still hugging the fluffy puppy. It took about a minute to process the ownership of said puppy. "Oh! This is yours, isn't it," While that idiocy was going, Sparky was still smoothing down his fur and making it look nice and shiny. He flicked an ear at the Riolu when it approached, the hair on his back starting to bristle up with static fuzz again. Cerb glanced over at him to make sure he wouldn't do anything stupid, and squeaked in surprise when oh snap, the Riolu tried to bitchslap him. "Ack, not again! D:" "Pi," Sparky raised a paw to block, leaning his head back to let the tail brush harmlessly by. The Pikachu huffed a little, getting up and trundling over to go hop on his trainer's head, where he could look down on the other Pokemon without fear of much harm. "Pika," "...simply wonderful, Sparky," |

.3 ![]() She leaned off to one side slightly, one eyebrow raised up, a little smile on her face. Blinking twice when she was finally acknowledged, the older trainer chuckled. "Yeah, he's mine. His name is Maelstrom," "Maelstrom the Sexy Beast!" >.> "Maelstrom the Huge Ego is more like it," The dog grumbled and pouted at her. So while there were shenanigans going on everywhere, the little fighting puppy grumbled at the bastard Pikachu as it ran away from him. Tch, and it thought it was safe up there. Hurricane held his paws only a few inches apart, drawing his arms back to his side, leaning into it, a bright little light forming between his paws... "No, you are not allowed to Kamehameha people, you little bastard," Steely reached down and grabbed him by the scruff, holding him up, "I still don't know how you learn this stuff," The little ball, starting to be tinted with brownish red, disappeared as he flailed his arms and legs in her grasp, but wasn't able to do much. "I know that its a little bastard, but you can't just go around beating stuff up," Behind her, Chaos grumbled and flexed his muscles and cannons, as if to suggest otherwise. When you were a giant turtle with water cannons, you could do whatever you wanted. At least that was what he thought. |

.3 ![]() "Oh. He's preeeetty. Where'd ya get him?" At this point, Cerb would probably kill someone for a dog Pokemon that wasn't Rufus, since she seemed to fail at finding them herself. Up on her head, Sparky chittered and pointed out that they were about to get smacked with Aura energy. Ohyey. Cerb blinked at the shiny ball, before she squeaked and hit the dirt behind Maelstrom. "NO VIOLENCE PLZ I'VE HAD ENOUGH," "Pika pi," Sparky added, paws skittering to balance on the back of her head while Cerb waited for the Apocalypse or something to come blasting by. "I just wanted to watch the tournament and eat food and look at stuff, why does this always happen to meeeee, ;_;" |

.2 ![]() "Where did I...?" That... she hadn't been expecting that. She'd had Maelstrom so long, it took her a bit to think of where she did find the dark dog. "Uh... Hillmoss. The grasslands," she said finally, remembering. It was such a long time ago, at least to her. A year or more, at least. "And relax... he might be young but he's good enough. He wouldn't have hit you," she held Hurricane up for emphasis, but handed him back to Chaos a second later. While the water turtle was able to hold onto him for a second, Hurricane scrambled out of his grasp to sit on his head. "Get off of there." :| The little one made a face that plainly said 'no u'. Once Maelstrom realized Omg I'm Not Being Petted, he whined and leaned down, nudging Cerby with his nose so she would Continue Paying Attention To Him and not worrying about stupid things, like getting her face aura raep'd or something. Le sigh. |

.3 ![]() "Hillmoss?" Cerb's head popped up for a second, with Sparky squeaking as he wobbled around trying to keep his balance. The teen was frowning, as if to figure out where the heck that was again exactly. EVEN THOUGH SHE'S FROM THERE AND EVERYTHING, GAWD. "...aw bugger. I don't wanna trek all freaking way back there again," she whined after a second, facepalming. While screaming and running from angry Spearows all the time, she'd missed out on her opportunity to find her own fluffy puppy. Major suckage. "Oh, I'm not worried about me. I don't want Sparky getting hit," Cerb pointed at the Pikachu perching on her skull, the yellow rat puffing up with his own self importance. "He'd probably cast Thunder while on my head, and that would suck for me." A quick gesture at the dirt while she said it implied that grounding herself had more than one motive behind it. Having been electrocuted once or twice already by her bastard little rat, she was aware of the wonders of electricity. "Pi. :<" "You know you would too, bastard. Go eat your food or whatever," "Pika," Sparky sprang off and over to a nearby picnic table laden with the leftovers from lazy people, settling down to munch on french fries and leftover funnel cake bits. Cerb watched him for a moment, mostly to make sure she could still hear his bell jingling before she was accosted by Maelstrom's nose. Thus, she went back to petting Mally and making him happy and all that. Lalalala. |

.3 ![]() Steely nodded slowly... yes, Hillmoss. That place with all the grass in the middle of the world that she NEVER WANTED TO VISIT AGAIN. She'd been there way too much, especially when she was trying to stay away from her house. "Yeah, I never want to see those grasslands as long as I live," She watched the bastard Pikachu, mildly reminded of Desoto when she caught him... a self important little fucker that needed to be taught who was in charge. Though luckily, he never shocked her. She'd gotten enough electrical current for the rest of her life. Speaking of getting struck by lightning, the mention of it seemed to make her freeze, fear in her eyes. She fidgeted, rubbing at her right arm with her left hand, "Yeah. That whole... getting struck by lightning thing. It sucks. A lot," So despite the fact that he was getting attention from this New Girl, Maelstrom sensed the angst behind him and looked back at his trainer, pulling away from Cerby to nudge Steely's hand with his nose. Her fingers reached up to brush through his fur, the longer bits going up the fingers of her cut off gloves a little. "...so, what's your name, then?" she asked quietly after a few moments of likely awkward silence. |

.3 ![]() "I'm gonna see 'em at some point, prolly, but I'd rather not go into Hillmoss itself," Cerb muttered, making a face. Her parents would probably jump her with six feet of rope and a really big rock and tie her to it, then drag her back home for eternity. She looked over blankly at Steely again, shrugging. "Eh, 's not so bad once you get over the screamy melty pain of it. Though it always smells like burnt toast afterwards..." In this moment of angst, it occured to Cerb that she should probably let her other Pokemon out to keep an eye on the rat while he stuffed his face with stolen leftover food. Reaching for her belt, she unclipped the other Pokeball and popped it open to reveal Zipper in all her sleepy, disheveled glory. The Zigzagoon very slowly looked around before giving her tail a small wag, not quite sure what she was supposed to do here. "Go 'n keep the bastard rat company, eh girl? I think there're some cheese fries over there," Zipper's ears perked, the raccoon taking off like a shot for the table. She loved food. And while she'd never had cheese fries, they sounded like good food. There was an annoyed chitter from Sparky as Zipper suddenly bounded up on the table and attacked his pile of abandoned goodies. So while they were getting fat over there on greasy leftovers. "Cerb," came the name of the aforementioned person, looking longingly at the puppy having deserted her. "You?" |

.3 ![]() "I've been in those grasslands so many times, I'm so sick of staring at them," she grumbled. Despite that you had to go through it if you wanted to get across the mainland... but hopefully at some point, she wouldn't have to do that anymore. Hopefully. "I mean... real lightning," The blue turtle behind her grumbled, trying to say that they should change the subject if someone didn't want their face rearranged. Looking up at the Zigzagoon, Steely watched Zipper take off to watch the Pikachu, watching them till she got an answer. "Steel," she said finally, looking back at her. She hesitated for a second, "But I like Steely better," she stroked Maelstrom's ears for a few seconds. He seemed torn on who to go to... he loved getting attention, but augh. He wiggled his tail at Cerby, hoping that she'd walk closer so he could get petted by BOTH of them. At the same time. Oh yeah. "You just started out, didn't you?" |

.2 ![]() "Oh," Pause. "Yeah, that would suck quite a bit," Cerb blinked at Steely and her mutt with the wagging tail. Finally, someone with a name just as weird as hers was, if not suitably weirder. Casting one last glance over to make sure her two Pokemon were still stuffing themselves, she shuffled over to pat Mally some more. "Yeah. Like, a week or two ago or something like that," she said, stroking the black fur of the Mightyena and babbling at the same time. "I kinda had to sneak out of my house really early and nearly make Professor Willow kill me, and then I got chased by Spearows all over the grasslands...and Sparky electrocuted me," Another pause. "But I got Zipper!" "Goon?" The Zigzagoon chittered, lifting her head up for a moment with her cheeks stuffed full of cheese fries. |

.2 ![]() Maelstrom was in doggy heaven, getting petted by two girls at once. His tail wagged and he was grinning like an idiot, even at Steely's look she was giving him. But, well, he wasn't doing anything bad... just being a nitwit. "I figured as much," she said with a little smile. A Zigzagoon was one of her first Pokemon she ever got... it was sort of the sign of a new trainer. Nobody ever kept them beyond getting better Pokemon. Steely still had to release Zig back in her home... She shook her head and looked back down at the other girl, blinking a few times. "You not in the tournament, then? You said before that you were just here to watch," she cautiously pulled her hand away from Maelstrom, though the dog didn't seem to notice, turning around to push his head against Cerby so he could get cuddles and pets. He's a very demanding mutt, you see. |

.2 ![]() Cerb made a face at being so quickly pegged as a beginning trainer. True, she only had her two Pokemon, and yes, one was a complete bastard. But Zipper was a good little Zigzagoon and she really hadn't been having any problems so far... Aside from the Spearows and the mud and Sparky making a break for it every other town. That last one kinda sucked. "Nope, not me. Seeing as I only have...two Pokemon and everything," she mumbled, in reference to all the above points and then some. "And I think I was busy tromping around in the mud while all this stuff was going on. I'd much rather watch than participate, though. I imagine I'd get steamrolled," Pet the mutt, pet the mutt, yada yada. Go Mally. And Over There. 'Those are my cheese fries!' 'I found them first! Go eat that hamburger,' 'CHEESE FRIES,' 'Fine, fine, sheesh. D: I'll eat the hamburger. Chill out, geez.' Sparky scooted over a little bit on the table to nom his burger while Zipper happily vacuumed up what remained of the sticky yellow cheesy fries. Sweet greasy dairy goodness, yes. |

.2 ![]() "Two...?" she looked over at the two gluttons pigging out on trash, trying to figure something out before she opened her mouth again. "You never know," she said distantly. "So your starter was that Pikachu? How come he hates you?" So while the two girls were talking, and Maelstrom was in heaven, Backlash quietly sat down and listened, looking back and fourth between the two girls as each one spoke, blinking occasionally. "...this is boring." Chaos grumbled, suddenly plopping down on the ground, making the immediate area shake slightly. He crossed his arms and made unamused faces at nothing in particular. Since Hurricane wasn't being watched anymore, he bounded over to the other two, easily hopping up onto the table and looking around to see what they were doing that was so interesting. |

.2 ![]() "Yep. Two," Cerb nodded sagely, turning her head to check and make sure her little fuzzy lards weren't doing something weird to the table or anything. Who knows, they could be carving graffiti into it or gnawing on it or something. "And yeah, Sparky was my starter. I guess he didn't expect to be a starter, and that's why he hates me," she shrugged rather nonchalantly. "Either that or he still doesn't appreciate being woken up in the middle of nowhere without someone with a food dish nearby." She left out the almost strangling the Pikachu with a hug part, because there was noooo way that had affected his temperament at all. Whatever would give you that idea. Cerb jumped a little when Chaos plopped on his backside and made the ground shake randomly. "It seems your Blastoise is getting bored." Well no shit. :< Sparky and Zipper glanced up when there was yet another guest at the table of Leftover Goods. Zipper immediately fluffed her fur out and hovered protectively over her pile of greasy cheese things, growling. 'Touch my fries and die. :K' Sparky made it a point to wrinkle his nose at the Riolu and go back to munching on his foodscraps, trying to ignore the little blue thing. Unless it made another grab for his bell again, and then there would probably be a food fight or something along those lines. |

.2 ![]() Steely was slightly baffled at the idea of starting with a Pikachu, since she had to flail around in Halcyon Forest for hers. What baffled her even more was having a starter that didn't like you. She was used to having Pokemon that she got later that didn't like her (her mind wandered back to Rush... she shuddered suddenly), but her and Chaos had always gotten along. Really well, actually... She shook her head again, "That sucks. Having only one Pokemon that won't listen to you," Looking back at Chaos, with his arms crossed and grumbling about something or another, she reached back and poked him in the nose a few times. He opened his jaws and snapped them at her finger, but she yanked it away in time. "Do that again and I will eat it," >: "No you won't," >: Poke poke. "He gets bored easily. I don't think he likes all the people around here," Hurricane was a little daunted by the two, mostly because the Zigzagoon was growling at him and he hadn't even done anything yet. He didn't even want her stupid fries. But now he did since she was being so protective of them. So he inched forward, muscles tense and ready, darting a paw forward to loltouch her fries and dart back again. Tell a baby not to do something and they'll do it anyways! |

.3 ![]() Cerb shrugged again. "'s not so bad. He listens about half the time, or something. He's gotten a lot better since I managed to tack that Soothe Bell on him," Said bell jingled from over at the table, probably from Sparky scuttling around to see what other scraps of food he could scrounge. Since that jingling meant that her Pikachu was still in the vicinity, Cerb was free to devote her attention to watching Steely poke at her Blastoise. "Perhaps he should be amused, then?" A quick check of her pockets revealed that no, she did not have any playing cards. Oh bugger. Well, it wasn't like Chaos would know how to play card games anyway. OR WOULD HE? >.> Zipper was still rr'ing over her fries, when the Riolu started to loltouch her food. The Zigzagoon boggled for a moment, tail giving a few sideways twitches. Youth today, they never seemed to listen. Whuffing to herself, Zipper gathered her paws around her pile of cheesy goodness and shoveled the whole thing in her mouth, ignoring the fact that her cheeks bulged out like a squirrel full of nuts and there was cheese staining the whole of her muzzle. |

.3 ![]() I bet he would. Or at least he could be taught relatively quickly. Back and fourth, back and fourth. Poke, snap. Poke, snap. Poke, snap. Chaos wasn't trying very hard, only leaning forward a little bit to try and get her finger when she yanked it away. He didn't want to hurt her... and this was amusing, so oh well. She did stop and look back at Cerby once she got bored. "Eh. We were kind of looking for something to do when the little bundle of j-" she stopped, finally noticing that Hurricane wasn't on Chaos where she had left him. "...where is he?" Chaos pointed over at the table where Hurc was, and Steely sighed. Oi, she couldn't loose him again. "Wah!" D: Hurc yipped in surprise, jerking back when Zipper shoveled the whole thing of leftover fries into her mouth. He boggled for a second before very slowly sitting down, crossing his legs and just staring. |

.2 ![]() Cerb kinda leaned on Maelstrom, still rubbing at his neck fur while she watched the Blastoise halfheartedly make snaps at eating his trainer's finger. Occasionally she glanced back at the table full of little Pokemon to make sure they were all playing nicely and all that. "Hm? Oh. Your little bundle of joy is that way," she said, pointing her thumb over her shoulder at the table. "There really isn't much to do around here between matches. I'm just out here for the free food that nobody wants. And by I, I mean them." Since food cost money, something Cerb obviously couldn't afford to spend. Cheaaaap - o. Zipper rumbled and nommed heartily on her mouthful, pink tongue occasionally flicking out to lick droplets of cheese from her muzzle and whiskers. Slowly, she managed to reduce the mash into nothing but mush, and choked it down. 'Ahhh.' Thus satisfied, she continued with licking her chops and her whiskers, getting stray bits of cheese and grease out of her fur. Sparky was long bored with the food at that table, and thirsty. So he hopped to another table to ransack the abandoned glass of lemonade sitting there, slurping heavily at the straw and making the appropriate noises to go along with it. |

.2 ![]() The girl ker-facepalmed rather dramatically, heaving a sigh at Hurricane and his shenanigans. "This is why I'll never have kids," she mumbled. She had a hard enough time keeping track of her own Pokemon half the time. Then there were... other things. "And, yeah, there isn't. Everyone's running around to the next match or whatever," she looked around, sighing faintly. Truth to be told, like Chaos, she wasn't a fan of the crowds either. They made her horribly nervous, truth to be told. But Hurricane loved everyone so... she was chasing after him half the time. Into irate crowds of people. Chirp, chirp. The little terror tilted his head at the two, watching the Pikachu as he hopped off to go do whatever. He looked back at Zipper, and puffed his cheeks out, imitating the other Pokemon and her mouthful. Wobbling back and fourth, he eventually tumbled backwards off of the edge of the table with a yelp. |

.2 ![]() "And you're just running around after him?" Cerb chuckled dryly, watching the gaggle of Pokemon mucking around on the table. Seeing how Sparky had jumped ship away from the others, she frowned and whistled. "Hey, don't jump ship on me now, rat!" "Pika!" Sparky yelled over in between slurps of his lemonade, slowly draining the cup dry. When the slurps turned dry and empty, he discarded the cup lazily and hopped his way back over to the other table, in time for Hurricane to fall off the edge of it. The Pikachu looked down at the grass and the little blue Pokemon, along with Zipper, who slowly waddled over to give a concerned chirr. "I think you two have had quite enough to eat now," Cerb commented, striding over and holding out an arm towards the table. Zipper crouched and launched herself to land a little unsteadily, wrapping her paws and tail around the arm while burping and licking her whiskers. "Ugh, you especially. Feel like you gained five pounds or something. Get up there, hairy," she said, budging the Zigzagoon up onto her shoulder. Too fat to protest, Zipper settled herself serenely and looked around with sleepy eyes. Sparky stayed on the table, showing no signs of wanting a ride. Cerb had long learned to stop offering, because the only reasons he would jump on her were violence or of his own volition. "Well, I guess we'll just go on our wandering way now," she shrugged, looking down at the Riolu laid out on the grass. "May want to put a radio collar on that one or something." |

.3 ![]() "You try catching the little bastard. He can dodge the recall beam for his Pokeball," No joke, the little thing is fast. She looked over to make sure he hadn't jumped ship either, to watch him flop backwards off of the table. That earned another facepalm from the girl, and a sigh, too. But he was unphased, and just wiggled his paws up at them with a big grin. Steely sauntered over after Cerby, followed by her motley crew of Pokemon. Maelstrom was crushed that the second member of his harem had just up and walked away from him like that. >: "Mmh... if I could," she said, somewhat distantly again. Steely seemed off in another world for a second, her Pokemon (but Hurricane, who had sprung up and was sitting on the table watching everyone) blinked at her with concern. She seemed to snap out of whatever suddenly, and blinked at the girl walking away. "Hey... ya wanna battle?" |

.2 ![]() "I don't want to. He'd probably punch me in the face or something," So Cerb was casually beginning to stroll away when she got a battle invitation thrown in her face. Well, not in her face, but you get the idea. Freezing for a second, the teen very slowly turned around to take another look at Maelstrom, Backlash and Chaos all standing there. And then she gulped. "Uh..." Sparky paused in walking to look back, waiting to see what the freakin' holdup was. Zipper was still sitting in somewhat of a dozing state, her eyelids flickering up and down occasionally. Cerb was mentally sweating and facepalming at the same time, trying to think of where she'd read that unwritten rule that it was rude to walk away from a battle challenge. Butbutbut...Steely's Pokemon could seriously eat her and her two companions. D: Which she Did Not Want. Aside from the obvious reason that it would suck, she would also lose cash. And that would suck even more, due to her cheap nature. "Ah, um, well," Cerb stood there babbling for a moment while her tongue did the macarena in her mouth. Good gravy, it's a stupid yes or no question. Just spit it out already. D: "...do I have to?" Le sigh. Noodle. |

.2 ![]() "Naah. He's pretty good about not hurting anyone unless he wants to," she admitted, watching him. After a second of blank staring, she reached over and looped an arm around him, yanking him off to hold the squirming ball of muscle in her arms. ...that sounded really bad now that I think about it. Oh well. Steely had this blank, innocent look on her face when Cerby turned around to boggle at them. She cocked her head to the side a little bit, blinking s'more. She followed where the girl was looking, and realization hit her. "Oh. Right," ._. She frowned, and very slowly looked down to Hurricane, hanging in her arms since he'd given up trying to get away from her. An idea struck her suddenly. "...you could wear this little one down?" she held her armful of Riolu up, grinning a little bit. |

.2 ![]() Cerb continued to angst over there until the suggestion was thrown out to beat up Steely's Riolu. The teen blinked at the little dog, cocking her head to the side a bit. Well...why not. It didn't look very experienced, and more importantly it wasn't huge, scary, or evolved. She paused a moment to take stock of her companions, trying to decide who to chuck out into battle. Ordinarily she would've tossed out Zipper, who actually liked and listened to her, but that would be disadvantageous right now. Not to mention Zipper was very full and looked like she was trying to sleep, and Cerb didn't want her poor Zigzagoon having a heart attack or puking all over the grass somewhere. Which meant! "Sure. Sparky's got a score to settle with him anyway," the teen said with a bit of an evil grin, leaning backwards to grab the Pikachu by the scruff and hoist him up. Sparky spat at the sudden rough handling, flailing his limbs around and hissing and giving the evil eye to everything he could glare at. Which was mostly his trainer at the moment, and the Riolu and co. over there. "Time to rumble, bastard Pikachu." "Pika. D<" "Eeeh, screw you. It'll be good practice, now get out there," Sparky was unceremoniously tossed out in front of her to land on the grass, still hissing and with sparks shooting out from his ruffled fur. Enter: one bastard Pikachu in need of a beating. This ought to be good. |

.2 ![]() Hurricane cocked his head to the side when Cerby did, mirroring the movement. ...Steely mirrored it too, but that wasn't for any particular reason. She was just baffled at all the head tilting. "...this is stupid," "Omg Steely go easy on the lady, I like her. D:" "..." Hurricane's floppy ears perked up at the other girl, and he snorted, turning his head to the side and his nose skyward, puffing as if to say that Pikachu was going to get his furry ass handed to him. Steely loosened her grip on him, and the fighting type slid from her grasp, hitting the ground back paws first, and taking one good bound forward to take his spot opposite the bastard Pikachu. Enter: One Riolu who's ready to do the beating. Backlash clicked her claws like scissors, chittering up at Steely to get her attention. "You sure this is a good idea?" she asked once she had Steely's attention. "I don't see why not. Either way, it'll wear him out and maybe we could get some food finally," "I want a funnel cake!" "Hamburgers!" Simultaneously, Steely and Backlash sighed, looking back at the battle. Steely whistled to get Hurricane's attention, the little fighting type looked back at her, and she paused, staring at the look he had. The little Pokemon patted his chest where his heart was a few times, and turned back to face the Pikachu. "...well, alright, if you say so," ((If anyone reading this is curious, we're just doing a 1v1, freeform battle. No stats, open moveset (no HM's, tho), no modding, just for fun. Tho when we're done, if a mod wants to give us EXP and FP/TP rewards and whatnot, that'd be awesome. >.>)) |

.3 ![]() So. First...officialish battle thing. Cerb watched the Riolu spring out and get ready to rumble, Sparky's fur fluffing up accordingly with static streaks. It would do something eventually, just wait. Hmm'ing, Cerb crossed her arms, trying to think of a way to suitably start this off. Eventually she reached for her Pokedex for some move inspiration. Aaand her eyeballs bugged. "Holy snap, you know all this crap? Holeee... Okay, okay. Battle plan." "Pikaaaa," Sparky huffed impatiently, trotting in a little circle without taking his eyes off the Riolu. "I'm thinking, I'm thinking. Leave me alone." If this was a serious battle, she'd probably have one KO'd Pikachu by now. Oh well, some people are best left to their fantasies. After a moment more of hemming and hawing, Cerb finally looked up at her impatient prancing Pikachu. "Okay rat. Soak 'em and light 'em up." "Kaaaa?" Sparky blinked, staring at his trainer like she was off her rocker. What was she thinking, he was an electric Pokemon. He couldn't learn moves like that! ...onowait. While Sparky was understanding his instructions, Cerb retreated into the overhang of a nearby tent, with good reason. The Pikachu began to dart around the field in what seemed like an erratic pattern, Soothe Bell ringing merrily. After a moment, it became clear that his darting and butt wiggling wasn't actually erratic, and the jingling of the bell around his neck was lively with the rhythm. At the same time, the sky grew dim as clouds covered it, and small droplets of water slowly descended from the heavens, until there was a pretty nice little shower in full swing there. Cerb covered her eyes in preparation for Phase Two from Sparky, which should be rather blinding. Now that everything around him was drenched with the rain, Sparky's cheeks and fur flickered with electricity, the water being a more than suitable conductor. "PIKAAA!" A massive bolt of lightning streaked for its target of one Riolu, lighting up the surrounding area with a massive flash of electricity. [Rain Dance --> Thunder, yeah. >.>] |

.3 ![]() Hurricane waited, watching his opponent with his sharp eyes. He stood with legs coiled slightly, palms together before him as if in his Zone Of Awesome. He was waiting to see what the others did. Steely had to do everything in her power to not say anything, watching. And listening. Cerby gave orders like Steely did, which was sort of surprising. Most just gave them the moves without anything else. Then again, Steely had gotten to the point where she didn't even call out orders for the most part anymore... strange, now that she thought about it. A single raindrop landed on Maelstrom's nose, he tossed his head and looked up as more rain started to fall, getting on his fur and beading to fall off to the ground. The huge water type rumbled as he took looked skyward, leaning forward as Backlash skittered to take cover under the big turtle. Steely's eyes were protected from the rain by the bill of her hat, her head was tilted up just enough to where she could still keep the falling rain out of her eyes and watch the sky. She was smirking a little. "Heh, clever," Hurricane remained still, like a rock as the Pikachu danced. Only when the electric type stopped did he move. The muscular little body coiled, paws out to his sides, crouching down and leaning forward. The Pikachu started to spark. Hurricane was gone. He darted forward like a shot, his body a blur, pushing him faster then the lightning, faster then just about anything. His little paw curled into a fist, and he threw his momentum into it. A great arc upwards when he reached the electric rat, his fist aiming for his chin as he changed his momentum from horizontal to vertical, sending the Pikachu to the sky. Right into his own Thunder.

.3 ![]() The Riolu suddenly vanishing was Cerb's clue to panic. "Split, Sparky! SPLIT!" The lightning rained down quickly, blocking her vision, so it was hard to see what her Pikachu did next. Panic seemed to have spurred Sparky on as well, because he did literally split in four parts that took off around the field. One didn't manage to escape, and was pummeled by the Riolu, dissolving in the burst of electricity. The clone had had crackling fur just like the rest, however, still passing on that chance of paralysis. That chance got even worse as the other three clones spontaneously released a thin burst of electricity across the field, spreading the charge through the air. Cerb shivered as she felt her hair stand on end, the unruly strands frizzing up with the combination of latent static in the air and the newly present humidity. "Oh bugger, it's eating my FACE," With his trainer being thus distracted by her hair, the three Sparkyclones waited with tense paws, ready to move. Hopefully the Riolu would have his movement hampered somewhat by all this stray electricity flying through the air. [Double Team --> Thunder Wave] |

.3 ![]() (That... that was also pretty clever,) The little emotion Pokemon hissed when the copy he plowed into disappeared... he wouldn't let the rat do that trick on him again... but now wasn't the time to deal with that. Again, he zipped away, landing as the thunder crashed down, noting the three copies as he jumped away... well fine then. He put his paws out before him, as if he was diving into a swimming pool or something, as he turned in midair to come down hands first on the ground. But instead of coming down, he started to spin like a top, then like a drill, only a blur of blue and black. When he hit the ground, he drilled in, disappearing before the weak waves of electricity could hit him. Now, underground, it was going to be hard to see where he was... and to get at him. Steely too shivered a little bit, but she was so soaked that the thunder wave didn't make her hair stand up. She shook the feeling off, though, scanning the field for her little monster. "What are you up to, Hurricane?" [Quick Attack -> Dig (Turn 1)] |

.3 ![]() Okay. Digging dog. Not great, but he could deal with it. SINCE HIS TRAINER WAS GETTING EATEN BY HER HAIR AND EVERYTHING. Sparky sniffed, along with his two clones, before starting to dart around the field like a rabid lemming. The little yellow rat was basically a triple blur as he agilely zoomed in random patterns around the field. If that Riolu wanted to pop up and hit him, fine. Try and get to him, first. As the Pikachu ran, a soft yellow glow began to surround him and his clones, as energy built up in his fur. [Wow this post is lame. :< Agility --> Charge] |

.1 ![]() It was impossible for Steely to tell what was going on, with Hurricane making his own little tunnel system of something underground, or whatever. So there was really nothing at all she could do, but just watch. Underground, Hurricane was digging his heart out, making tunnels all over the place wherever he could, just because he could. It was great fun, he had discovered. But there was a battle to do, he just had to do it. Now, he knew there was three Pikachu's running around up there... but only one of them was real. Only one had a brain. He reached out to find that brain, and see what the Pikachu was doing... reading its mind. Aha, there he was. Digging like mad, Hurricane suddenly exploded from the ground, sending chunks of dirt flying everywhere as he launched himself into the enemy Pikachu, finally emerging from the ground. Somewhat unknown to Steely, a few people had gathered to watch the battle, drawn by the sudden rain and thunder and whatnot. It was a good battle to watch, that was for sure. They stayed quiet so they didn't interrupt, but watched with bated breath. [Mind Reader -> Dig (Turn 2)] |

.2 ![]() Now hyped up on speed and all that, Sparky was still tearing around on the ground glowing like a light up Illumise, waiting for the Riolu to pop out of the dirt. As he ran, the Pikachu focused more on any potential vibrations on the ground than anything, quirking his ears towards the grass and all that as if it would help him concentrate better. When the ground finally started to quiver beneath his paws, Sparky put on a last burst of speed in an attempt to get away, still practically getting his ass raped by the force of Hurricane exploding from the ground. The Pikachu flew up into the air a short distance, his nose facing the dirt as the light around his body suddenly intensified and vanished, erupting outwards at the Riolu so close by. It started with a fast and violent pulse of electricity that rocketed outwards, gradually dying into a weaker shockwave. Flailing his limbs around, Sparky awkwardly hit the ground and skidded on the wet grass in what could be called a tailspin as he windmilled and darted away to avoid getting pummeled. Hopefully Hurc would have stuff on his plate at the moment and wouldn't be able to follow. Cerb didn't notice the people watching either, mostly because her damp frizzy hair had migrated over her shoulders and was trying to strangle her with staticness. Zipper chittered uncomfortably, trying to edge away from the soggy frizzy mess without falling off her shoulder perch. [Shock Wave --> Thunder Wave] Edited by Cerby, Feb 10 2009, 05:09 PM.

.2 ![]() Hurricane's momentum carried him up and away from the ground, a pulse of electricity shot through his muscles as he spotted the rodent again. It made him shudder, but he shook it off, only to see that the rat wasn't done yet. Steely couldn't stay quiet any longer; not when an idea had suddenly occurred to her. "Use his own strategy against him!" she called suddenly, leaning forward with her hands cupped to her mouth. The little Riolu growled and did just that, his body splitting into multiple copies in midair. The weaker pulse of electricity zipped through one of the clones, much like Hurricane's fist had gone through Sparky's clone earlier. That, once again, left three on Hurricane's side. Now it was looking like a bizarre three on three match. They hit the ground, and something strange happened. "Lu!" the three Hurricanes barked, putting both palms forward simultaneously, all aiming at a different Pikachu. A small, low power jolt of electricity shot out from his paws, copying the Pikachu's last attack perfectly. We'll see how he liked it. [Double Team -> Copycat (Thunder Wave)] |

.2 ![]() The Sparkyclones glanced back briefly to see what that swooshing noise had been, just in time to get rearfulls of Thunder Wave. The two clones made a fizzling noise and dissolved away, while the real Pikachu stumbled a little in his pawsteps, wobbling in his run from the electricity coursing through him and the smack to the butt. However, after a moment he slid to a stop and turned to face the three Riolus. It was clear Sparky had been hit by a Thunder Wave, but oddly enough...he looked perfectly fine. If anything, he looked more souped up than he had been previously. Arching up his back, the Pikachu opened his mouth and sprayed out a stream of glittering stars, sweeping his head across the field to try and hit all the Riolus he could see without moving around too much.

.2 ![]() The trio barked in triumph, pumping their fists as the other Pikachu clones disappeared. He moved to rush in again, pushing off of his paws to strike again, his clones copying him as he sprinted off. There wasn't even time to think of dodging, not that he would have been able to anyways. The shining, spinning, shooting stars zipped through the air, dissipating the Riolu's clones. He himself didn't stop, though. The fighting type pulled his fist back and aimed to slam it right into Sparky's face or wherever, draining his energy for himself. His other paw was tucked into his side, but he brought it up on the pass by, claws out and raking for the electric rat, the tips edged with dark purple and black energy.

.2 ![]() Still outwardly looking pumped but inwardly shivering from electrical shock, Sparky braced himself for whatever impact might come from being pummeled by the Riolu, core muscles tensing to possibly cushion the blows. However, nobody liked having their face punched in, so the Pikachu ducked and arched his back, feeling his body bend and warp as a paw smashed into his shoulders. The punch was accompanied by an almost disturbing feeling of lethargy, almost like the life was getting sucked right out of him. It was the second paw Sparky was watching for, that sharp darkly glowing one. Using the blow from the punch, he twisted his body so that the shadowy claw was going right for his belly, and latched hard onto it with all his limbs and his little teeth, sinking his claws into the Riolu's arm. His paralyzed muscles locked up to further fortify the grip, Sparky chomping harder without realizing it from the pain of getting sharp pointy things dug into his belly. At this point, Cerb honestly thought her Pikachu was committing suicide or something, as evidenced by her shriek of "SPARKY!" from under the tent overhang. At around that point, the rain began to die down and whittle away, the clouds thinning out and parting to reveal dear ol' Mister Sun smiling on the field. Cerb was all set to race out there and kick the Riolu off her precious Pikachu, except for the fact that there was a glare on the field and it wasn't coming from Mister Sun. It was Sparky, glowing with such intensity it almost looked like he would explode. Still latching onto the Riolu with all the muster his locked paralyzed muscles would give, the Pikachu gave his body a wrench and a twist, trying to tip the Riolu and slam him onto the ground as the glowing intensity shot from Sparky's body in a bombardment of light. Almost immediately after the discharging of the glow, Sparky began to light up once more, but this light wasn't white and it also wasn't as harsh...if electricity could be described as that. The Pikachu's body jerked a little as he discharged all the power he could currently muster right into his foe, probably frying the retinas of some onlookers. [Reversal --> Thunderbolt] |

.3 ![]() Feeling the teeth and grip on his arm, Hurricane tucked his shoulder down and used his momentum to the advantage. He hadn't expected the Pikachu to duck like he did, but it ended working out for him. Hurc was going to use the other Pokemon's power against him. He did smash shoulder first into the ground, but he was ready for it. Tucking his legs in and making his body a little ball for the moment, with the Pikachu still attached to his arm, he rolled and gathered some momentum. Suddenly, the little fighting type put his back paws down and swung his Pika-Leech arm around to slam the electric rodent into the ground as hard as he could, using Sparky's own power against him to inflict even more hurt. Over on the sidelines, Steely shook herself off like a dog when the rain stopped, Maelstrom following suit shortly afterwards. Backlash had to skitter away to keep from getting wet at all. "Hey," >: "Is for Ponyta's," :P Steely wuffed over at them to get them to shut up for the moment, and the whole lot directed their attention back on the battle. "C'mon you guys, this is Hurc's first battle," There was grumbling for a second, but they shut up to watch; Maelstrom taking his place back at Steely's side to get his ears scratched. There wasn't much Hurricane could do about the electrical current, but that in itself only seemed to urge the Riolu on, do more damage and end this faster. The electric type wasn't the only one who could reverse an opponent's attacks... the problem was that Hurricane was naturally better at it, being a ball of muscle instead of a ball of fur.

.3 ![]() See, now this turns into a neverending stream of Reversal/Counter/Reversal/Counter, etc. It almost seemed rather pointless, what with the two Pokemon rolling around trying to slam the heck out of each other into the grass. It was at least comforting to know that Sparky had a trick the Riolu didn't. For the most part, he went with the blows, eyes squeezed shut and concentrating to block out the pain. It was his own, tiny little wish...and it would kick in eventually, given enough time. For now, he was just going to bide his time and wait. [Wish --> Bide] |

Go for it, run towards it, dive in head first. Live life with no regrets!

.1 ![]() Problem. There was still a Pikachu attatched to his arm, despite slamming it into the ground with enough force to... hurt a lot. He comically flailed his arm around a little bit, but to no avail... he was stuck and not doing much of anything. He stuck his bottom lip out in a pout, but his ears perked up with a sudden idea! Taking a deep breath, he stuck his face right in Sparky's ear and screeched as loud as he could. Steely winced and threw her hands over her ears, and she was all the way over there, too. "Ow. :x" So... hopefully without the extra weight on his arm, and seeing that the Pikachu was biding his time for whatever reason, Hurricane took a backflip away from him and landed gracefully. He started to dance then, the wind seeming to form into swords briefly as he twirled around. [Screech + Swords Dance] |

.2 ![]() At this point, Sparky didn't care about holding on anymore. He was waiting for his wish to kick in, but his paralyzed muscles were still locked up. Being shaken about helped to loosen their grip somewhat, the Pikachu making a concerted effort to actually let go. He did not appreciate being screeched at, giving his paws a hard jerk to let go and rolling off into the grass, his ears still ringing from the noise. At least he wasn't feeling quite as tired anymore - must be that wish kicking in. Now all he had to do was wait a little more, and - "Return." "Pi - " Fzoop! The Pokeball in Cerb's hand clicked shut, even though it wiggled stubbornly for several seconds before becoming still. The teen gazed a little sadly at it, one corner of her mouth twitching. "Never did know when to give up," she grumbled, shrinking the ball and returning it to her belt. "And now you're all freakin' muddy, too. Maybe I can get that nurse in that one tent to give you a bath, 'cuz I sure ain't," "Goon?" Zipper chittered curiously, looking out at the field and back at her trainer. Cerb shrugged, stroking the raccoon's fur. "He was gonna lose, hun. Why drag out the inevitable?" She said, listening to Zipper rumble softly. "'s cruel." "Goon," "Tch, idiot's too thickheaded for that. Would've been half dead 'fore he realized it," Cerb snorted, rolling her eyes before looking briefly over in the direction of Steely and Hurricane. "...so, yeah. I'm done." |

.3 ![]() Hurricane came to a stop in his twirling, his paws going squish in the ground as he turned to look at where his opponent... had just been. He tilted his head to the side a little bit, looking frantically around for the rat to descend from the heavens and bite him in the ass or something. "He's gone, Hurc," Steely said, her voice suddenly coming from above and behind him. She'd walked over, boots squishing in the mud to grab him by his scruff and haul him up, holding him at arms length since he too was covered in mud and stuff. "My goodness you are a mess," Seeing that the battle was over, Hurricane slumped in her grip and heaved a huge sigh for such a little fella. She would have hugged him, but... yeah, he was covered in mud. He looked tired too, considering that he'd just fallen asleep. Well, she had to give him a bath now, but... "You have a really strong Pikachu," she said suddenly, looking over at Cerby as she fumbled around for Hurricane's home Pokeball and recalled the sleeping monster. "I've never seen him worn out like that. You-" She stopped suddenly, as an announcement blared over the loudspeakers... the first round was starting soon. Steely snapped her head up to look, blinking in a bewildered way a few times. "Oh. That's me," she looked back down at Cerby for a second, blinking a few times before a huge, bright grin got plastered on her face. "I'll see ya again some time, yeah?" But before much of anything else could be said or done, she took off... gotta go to that tournament battle, after all. |

.3 ![]() Cerb stood and watched Steely mess with her muddy mutt, quietly glad Sparky was in his ball and Zipper was still nice and clean. If that one nurse wouldn't have pity on their souls, then she would have to bathe the Pikachu herself, and that would suck. Maybe she could get somebody's water Pokemon to totally hose him down, or she'd find a creek to throw him in. "Eh, he did alright for himself," she shrugged, looking at the ball stuck on her belt. "Could deal with learning when to quit, though. Stubborn little bast - " The announcement drowned them both out, with Cerb rubbing at her ears from the noise. First Hurc screeching like a banshee and now this. "Aaaah my eardrums," She looked up when Steely suddenly took off, lest she be late for her match and all that. "Uh, yeah, sure. Bye?" Blink blink. "Well, that was odd." "Goon," "Yeah, yeah. And now we still gotta find Dhaosie," Cerb grumbled, picking her way around mud puddles to resume walking when there was a series of loud chirps from above. Looking up, the teen saw her Pidgey descending and pulled out the heavy leather glove from her pocket she used for handling the bird. "And speak of the devil. No luck, Dhaos?" The Pidgey chirped and shook his head, alighting on the leather - encased hand and holding out one foot, within was clutched a very worn looking letter thing. Cerb tsk'd, taking it from the bird and stuffing it back into her other pocket. "Thought we'd be able to find her here, with all these peo...ple..." Zipper and Dhaos blinked at their trainer as the lightbulb very slowly began to go off. "OFUCKTHATWASHERDAMMIT!" Dhaos nearly took off again as Cerb ran around in a little circle, looking for some sign of which direction Steely went. Alas, the rush of people darting everywhere from the announcement wiped out any traces of her trail. Cerb facepalmed heavily. "Stupid stupid stupid. Stupid. ...dammit." "Gooon," Zipper crooned, giving her tail a little wag of comfort. Cerb sighed, looking over at her Zigzagoon and rubbing behind her ears. "Yeah...guess we just gotta go watch the matches and mob her later. Dhaosie, you're up on recon," she said, tossing up her wrist to release the Pidgey back into the sky. "Same description, don't get yourself beat up by anyone!" The Pidgey chirped back and flapped off, leaving the two standing there for a moment before Cerb took off to find herself a seat in the stadium. Maybe if she paid enough attention, she wouldn't screw up a second time. |
