Albion had finally, once again, reached Escennia. His goal this time was twofold; first, visit the Grower's Association and pick up a few supplies there. Then, a quick trip to the Berry King. Then, finally, onto the Pokémon Centre to handle a few other things that required immediate attention. Albion was walking rather briskly to handle this task; the Ralts was still riding on his arm, likely expecting to be delivered straight there. Unfortunately, Albion had to do some other things first, and he told her exactly that. "I need to run two very quick errands before anything else can be done. Rest assured we will be there immediately after, however," Albion said, almost running full-tilt towards the Grower's Association. A pretty young girl behind the counter helped him to purchase a pot in the likeness of a Psyduck and some basic mulch, and also for his trouble handed him a watering can and a spade. These would be his tools for growing the plant of the berry that he had obtained in Escennia, and that much was fine for Albion. The spade and can were placed in his pack while the pot itself was stored in a device that it came with for easy carrying. The first task was accomplished. Next, Albion dashed down the street to the Berry king and, very quickly, asked for the one berry that he was supposed to pick up, plus the Apricorn. It would be a very good thing for him to have. Whatever they gave him, he thanked the person behind the counter and dashed off, finally to the Pokémon Centre. Once he arrived there, Albion was breathing rather heavily. All this running around town was finally starting to take its toll but he paid it no mind, instead, looking to the Ralts and setting it down beside him once he reached the desk and handed over his three Poké Balls for his team to be healed by the nurse. Turning to the creature at his feet, Albion offered it his best smile. "My apologies for the wait, madam, but we have arrived," the squire announced formally, drawing himself up to full height and bowing. "I hope my service was adequate." With that accomplished, and while he waited for the three Pokémon to be healed, Albion consulted the PC and withdrew his Horsea, Catriona - and to his surprise, to his very great surprise, the Horsea had evolved to a Seadra! How this had happened he was not sure, but it was a fact that he would now not be letting the young thing out of his sight. This was a brilliant scenario for Catriona, and she was proud to see Albion. Indeed, who would not be happy to see a trainer that facilitated an evolution? "Catriona, I need your help in watering a plant I'm growing." "Sea?" "I wish to grow many delicious berries. Will you assist me by watering the plant? When they grow I will feed you as many of these as you like." "Dra! Dra!" Assistance obtained, Albion planted the Watmel berry in the growth mulch that he'd bought from the grower's association. He'd have to get one of his team-mates to carry that. Perhaps Lyndon would enjoy the strength training in doing so, even if it nullified his ability to ride around upon a horse. Something would certainly need to be done about that. Perhaps he'd invest in some kind of small greenhouse that had something assigned to collecting his berries. Yes... maybe something like that for later. In the meantime, Albion allowed Catriona to water the ungrown berry tree. And until his three team-mates were healed, he could only wait for them to be returned in order to have a long discussion with them. To explain what happened: 1) See Escennia Grower's Association for pot/mulch purchase. 2) Visiting Berry King. Need 1 berry and the apricorn, please. 3) Withdrawing Catriona and spending GenXP; Mod and Journey EXP together is 6.2. 6.0 to Catriona, 0.2 to Scyther. Scyther reaches level 39 (0.0/1.5) and Catriona reaches 38 (0.0/1.5). Catriona evolves at 35 after learning Hydro Pump. 0.3 Mod GenXP left over. 4) Planting Watmel in Growth Mulch and Pot. Starting counters as follows: Watmel Tree: 1/11 Growth, 1/3 Water 5) Collecting MP-obtained Metal Coat, but that's OOC. |

.3 ![]() The ball was handed back to Ozzy with a smile. "Thanks dude," he said to the attendant behind the counter, and pressed the button on the ball, letting out his Dusclops. All in all, it had been a good stop. Escennia was full of old money, sure, and old money never really cared for new money- but it seems that some of the snobbish upper class had gotten so sick of all the poor trainers wandering through as of late, they'd settle for someone with money of any age. Dusclops gave flashed a little thumbs up, and Ozzy grinned, wishing his hangover could be cured that fast. Fucking wine. He was walking out towards the door, Dusclops plodding along behind him, humming a little dirge, when he happened to notice it. Oh my god. That was probably the coolest thing ever. A psyduck pot. Who even makes these things? Ozzy walked over to the trainer sitting next to it, watching as a pokémon watered the mulch. "Dude. Your pot is awesome. And that is the first time I think I've said that in reference to a container," he said to the guy. |

0.2 ![]() Albion's little musing of watering the plant was interrupted by someone else commenting on the pot that he had been given. Indeed, he had chosen it for its looks as opposed to its functionality, and while a large terracotta pot was indeed useful, this giant Psyduck was just plain cool. Who wouldn't want one of those? Albion offered the guy a smile and, realising instantly that he had absolutely no idea what the creature was behind him, pulled out his Pokédex to examine the large creature, hearing the name 'Dusclops'. Well, problem solved. It looked kinda... evil, or something, to Albion's eyes. And, frankly, a guy wearing armour was probably a strange sight in return. He looked like an honest-to-goodness knight and everything. It was that moment that the nurse returned his three Poké Balls to him, and Albion released each of them in sequence. First, Winston the Rapidash. Then Lyndon the Nidoking and, finally, the unnamed Scyther that he really needed to have a chat to. That much was important. So was talking to this guy. "Thanks," Albion said with an awkward smile. "I figured it was just a neat thing to have. I'm Albion, what's your name?" Watmel Tree: 2/11 Growth, 2/3 Water |

.2 ![]() Ozzy raised an eyebrow in interest as the guy- Albion, so it seemed- released his returned pokémon in front of him. Damn, it had been so long since Ozzy had been in the company of someone who wasn't a rich hipster snob, but those things looked so familiar... what were they... "Albion, nice to meet you, I'm Ozzy. That's a really nice... S-Scy-uh-Scyther you got there dude," he replied, hoping it wasn't a Pinsir. The purple thing looked a lot less familiar, so he didn't compliment that; as for the horse, he couldn't tell if it was a Ponyta or a Rapidash. One of those pokédex things that Albion had used on Dusclops would come in handy. "Oh, yeah, this is Dusclops, too. He's pretty chill for how he looks. When I bought him the guy warned me that they're known for creating horrific fantasies in peoples' heads but like, I haven't seen it yet I guess... all we've really been doing is hanging out at parties around town, so whatever. What are you doin' around this town?" |

0.2 ![]() Albion picked up the spade and, as he was instructed to do, was turning the mulch over in his totally rad Psyduck pot. This Ozzy guy was right, it was great. Shifting the growth catalyst around in the pot was a simple task and Albion was enjoying the simplicity of it all. The watering can would, for now, be left alone. "Me? I live here. Have since I was a little kid. I'm training to be a knight of Escennia while I mix it up working for the OME, but that's probably not for a while." Albion took the chance to look up at each individual member of his team, staring each of them in the eye. They were all important in this place. Winston was the horse bred specifically to become Albion's mount and his most trusted ally. Catriona had been adopted by Albion some time ago and was now in a loving home. Lyndon was a fighter brought onto the team on the grasslands and the Scyther was... well, that matter still had to be resolved. "I do need to work out what I'm going to do with you, sir," Albion said, staring at the Scyther kindly. The creature was proud and powerful, but with the mental scars of a total defeat at the hands of an undefeatable foe. Albion was entirely unsure what to say here. He had to reconcile getting this Scyther to join him through battle... Oh, wait. He knew. There was one way to a warrior's heart. And, as coincidence would have it, he had a great way to handle it. And with Ozzy here, there was a great way to do it! "We just came out of a pretty rough scrap out on the grasslands, y'see," he said, turning to Ozzy. "Pretty much got trashed by this crazy Heracross. We're all of the same mind that we need to get stronger in order to handle this, but the Scyther here hasn't really totally agreed to come along. So I'd like to ask your help, Ozzy. Would you be able to help me evolve this Scyther so that he can be stronger than he ever was before?" Watmel Tree: 3/11 Growth, 3/3 Water |

.3 ![]() "You live here, huh?" Ozzy was a little surprised. He had never really bothered to stop and think about the people who actually lived here all year round. "I guess... I guess I was never any good at... uh, the local fashions around here... if that's..." Ozzy scratched the back of his neck, now trying hard to look at the lights, or the wall, or something besides what Albion was wearing. Mental note to self: remember how to talk to normal people. Ozzy listened to what he said with interest, choosing to nod sagely at the end. "Hey, yeah, Heracrosses, I know what you mean, dude. Those things... anyway yeah I mean, I'd love to help you but I kinda don't really have a lot of time." Getting caught up traveling around the countryside with a random dude was NOT how Ozzy wanted to spend the rest of his hangover, even if the random dude DID have a sweet pot. Ozzy had a big bed waiting for him in a tower, if he could find his way back to the right one. "What exactly would you need me to do, though?" |

0.3 ![]() What a peculiar fellow, Albion thought. The squire was trying to converse like many of the trainer he'd heard speaking, of course. It didn't seem to be going particularly well... best to just be normal. Yes, being himself was easily the best policy. Albion turned to the Scyther, preparing to explain everything. He pulled out a Metal Coat from his bag and passed it to the insect, who held onto the item for now. What this was, he was not entirely sure. "Look. We work well together, I'd think. I'm looking for strong fighters. Those who want to be strong, those who don't want to be left behind. I'd like to work with someone of your strength and calibre, and if you want to get stronger I can help you. The process isn't too complicated and all you have to do is spend a minute or two inside that ball of yours. If you want the strength to fight back things like that Heracross, I can give it to you right now." The OME databases on these matters were entirely comprehensive. He'd already looked these things up before leaving for the grasslands, understanding exactly what needed to be done. "All I have to do, Ozzy, is give you the Scyther's ball for a minute or two so it's 'yours', while it holds the Metal Coat. And then you give it back, and it's done. The process is simple. There are some Pokémon that, apparently, grow when they're under the care of others." If the Scyther agreed to it, Albion held up the Ball to zap it back in, then to give it to Ozzy in order to get it to evolve. Which, really, would be awesome. In the meantime, Catriona the Seadra shot a few light jets of water at the pot, watering the plant for Albion. Having a Water-type was extremely handy! Watmel Tree: 4/11 Growth, 1/3 Water - Happiness on Scyther real quick. Also, that 1 berry+apricorn from before would be lovely. |

.3 ![]() Albion explained. "Oh. Oh!" exclaimed Ozzy, for the first time actually understanding what the other person was saying. "You mean like a trade thing. A trade evolution. Yeah. No, yeah, that's no problem. Dusclops here does the same thing if he's holding some, like, doily or whatever, but we haven't really been arsed to getting around to it yet. But yeah man." He turned his head to look down at Dusclops. "Ball?" Dusclops gave a grin that, on a normal pokémon, would've been extra cheery; for those who weren't used to the ghostly being, it was rather terrifying. In any case, Ozzie zapped him back in, and held the ball out for Albion to take, holding his other hand out, empty palm up. |

0.2 ![]() Okay! Everything was now indeed going well. The Scyther had the Metal Coat and Ozzy wanted to do a little bit of a trade of his own. Albion was certainly not averse to such a thing, summoning the Scyther back fully into the Poké Ball that he was holding. And, now that Albion knew, this Dusclops creature could do much the same thing as the Scyther. It was, however, an entirely unnerving critter, with its creepy smile that thre Albion off. Was this some kind of spectral demon? Either way it was decided, Albion placed the Scyther's Poké Ball in Ozzy's hand and took the Dusclops' ball, holding it near his Pokédex. Someone had once mentioned it had to do slightly with Pokédex registering, all this trade business; it would register that he had given away the Scyther to someone else and gained the Dusclops. Or something like that. Whatever the case was, the situation was simple. Albion held the ball back out for Ozzy to take a minute or so later, entirely confident that the trade was now complete. What a very strange method of evolution, but Albion would most certainly not complain. In the meantime, the Scyther's metamorphosis began... Watmel Tree: 5/11 Growth, 2/3 Water LET US TRY THIS AGAIN. That earlier berry mod, please (1 of 'em), plus some happiness on that Scyther for the last 2-3 of my posts. Edited by Kirin, Oct 10 2010, 05:36 PM.

Trade and tradeback confirmed here. Ozzy held the Scyther's pokéball in his hand, watching it for a second just in case it did anything. Who knows what could've happened, maybe it would start shaking, or kick around, or burst out... or... or absolutely nothing. That could also happen. Yep, looks like that was what was happening. After Albion had finished registering that he temporarily owned Dusclops, and held the pokéball out to return, Ozzy took it back, passing Scyt-, no, Scizor's ball back at the same time. He pressed the button on Dusclop's ball a moment after the re-exchange; the grey thing zapped out and stood on the floor next to him. "You feelin' cool, man?" said Ozzy. It flashed him the OK hand signal. "Sweet." Ozzy turned back to Albion. "Hey, anything else you need, dude? That was pretty easy after all." |

0.3 ![]() And then it was done. One simple trade and trade back, where the whole matter was resolved cleanly and simply. Just the way Albion liked it, because everything was done with a minimum of fuss and everyone was totally happy with the way things were resolved! Particularly Albion, who unleashed the now-Scizor from its Poké Ball. It looked at its new form with some degree of happiness and, for now, was content with its trainer. "And to celebrate, let us give you a name... mm... I believe Reynard would suit you, good sir." And the Scizor nodded; this was perfectly amenable to the creature whose steely armoured form was a powerful sight to behold. Its pincers clicked with the ominous metal gnashing sound reminiscent of a heavy work vehicle. Knowing that all was well in the world, Albion turned to face Ozzy. "No, I think that's just about it. I cannot thank you enough, Ozzy. I certainly shall not forget what you have done for us." Applying happiness points that were just obtained via MP. 2 to Reynard, 1 to Lyndon, and now they are both on 2 happiness. Watmel Tree: 6/11 Growth, 3/3 Water |

.3 ![]() (short final post, I'm not feeling good.) Ozzy looked up and down at the Scizor, raising an eyebrow. "Wow, dang, that's a really cool thing there." Wow, Scythers DO evolve! Ozzy was really going to have to catch up. Maybe buy a book or something. "Anyway, I'm thinkin' that I gotta get back to bed," said Ozzy, during what I presume to be the afternoon. "So I gotta get back to... uh... wherever. You remember where we were, right Dusclops?" It nodded. "Phew. Hey, maybe I'll see you around again, dude. Take care." Ozzy gave Albion a quick pat on the shoulder, and then walked out of the pokécenter, wondering if that had seemed awkward with every step. Whatever. |

0.2 THANKS FOR PLAYING RICARDO YOU'RE AWESOMEAnd with that, it was over. Had Albion just made a friend in this wide world? Only time would tell, and Albion was certainly willing to wait and see now that things were looking up. His group of allies now had four fighters in it and he was certainly pleased with those kinds of results. In the meantime, he turned to check out his assorted crew members. Reynard was having an in-depth discussion with both Winston and Lyndon. All three of them had recently evolved and, for all of them, it was a temporarily painful but eventually beneficial change, where they all became stronger, more powerful, and learned some seriously cool stuff. Who wouldn't want to get awesome powers? Those three were happily chatting it up, flexing for the ladies (probably) and generally being awesome. Catriona, on the other hand, spent a few seconds watering the plant as she was coming to enjoy doing, and was indeed checking out the guys, even if they weren't looking. Such delicious eye-candy... all that tasty goodness that Albion was providing her. They were such big, strong, hunky guys, and she got to stare at them. What wasn't to love? Albion sat down beside Catriona, rummaging through his bag for a Pokémon treat and feeding it to the Seadra. She seemed happy about things and he wasn't about to ruin that for her. "Enjoying yourself, Catriona? It looks like you are." "Dra! Seadra!" Albion had no idea what that meant, but he smiled anyway. "I think next we will head to Mayriver and check out the ocean. It will certainly be a nice change, and I'd like to give you the chance to frolic in the water all you like." Food, eye candy and a chance to swim in the wide ocean. What wasn't to like? Gonna stick around here and attempt for some more <3. Specifically, for Catriona. A HALF HAPPYHEART FOR CATRIONA WOULD BE LOVELY, HINT. *hates fractions* And let's spend a little more GenXP. Journey and Mod total is 4.2. 1.2 on Winston bringing him to 42 (0.0/1.5). 1.5 on Reynard bringing him to a flat 40 and 1.5 on Lyndon bringing him to 37. No Mod or Albion-Journey left.

0.3 ![]() Catriona couldn't help but daydream away of the open ocean. Oh how it would be nice to swim freelty through the deep waters, enjoy the cool depths, the warm sun, and perhaps even see a few hunky awesome water Pokemon (or just hunky guys in general, she wasn't picky). The thought itself was enough to excite her, and enough for her to feel just a bit more loved by her ever thoughtful trainer. Good job Albion, the seahorse Pokemon was digging the kindness he was dishing out. She ate happily and to show her gratitude even, she playfully spewed a tiny stream of water, more like a trickle, at her trainer. Call it a love tap if you will. Ah the joys of being a trainer and providing for the Pokemon they carry. ____________ Catriona +1.5
