Pokemon:A new Awakening (IC)

[spirits breath]

(hopefully this serves as a good intro. though you can start off knowing how to use a few of your powers, but you may not know how to use all of them per say. least mine won't)

Mitch stired to conciousness, his body sorer than he could imagine, like he was hit by a wrecking ball that deprived him of his strength. The ground below him seemed to move beneith him as he felt sand roll arund his back. That sand was soon replaced by a less abrasive ground made of grass, flowers, and small roots that bumped into his back. His eyes were half closed as trees scrolled along his vision, Some mosses on trees came by as well.
Mitch's eyes were in a deep haze. himsel feeling asleep, his mind just barely holding onto a degree of consuiusness as he slept lightly for a few minutes, as his function to think full thoughts before he would fall asleep again. He fell asleep agian, body too tired in its present state, and a tugging at his neck seemed to end as he was lifted up on some soft surface.
He awoke after about three hours of a rest, this mind no longer as knocked up as it was, and his body now only felt fatiged instead of feeling as if he was weighed down with bags of lead resisting his every move.
A female sounding voice spoke up, surprised at seeing Mitch stir in front of her. "Come quick, it is stiring." The sound of footsteps and soft movement of twigs brought Mitch's eyes to open up a little. Vision blured as he was pushe dupwards into a sitting position. His head throbbed as the blood began to get out of the large pool it had made at his brain.
She spoke again, "Wait, relax. We aren't going to hurt you." Another voice piped up. "We can't keep him here, he could injure one of us. Even the kids."
She spoke angrily at the male, "Quiet dear, we will worry him."
"worry him, this is a trap. We can't just bring a stranger into the house and take care of them, we don't have that kind of money."
"Water doesn't cost anything, besides he was on the beach when I found him. Must have been there for some time as he was weaker than he was now. Dehydrated if anything and left to die."
Mitch's eyes began to un-blur as his vision cleared up. He blunk a few times rappidly. A bayleaf and a ferrow looked at him, the bayleaf more kindly than that of the ferrow. Small heads bounced in the background as small children tried to see what was happening.
He looked at them wondering what was happening. He spoke weakly, "Why can I understand everything you say?"
The two large figures looked at eachother in puzzlement. The ferrow poked him with his wing. "Have you been eating things you shouldn't? Flame practically go out?"
Mitch looked back at the Ferrow. "Flame? What are you talking about. A campfire going out."
The Ferrow pointed his wing towards Mitch. "Me boy, look at yourself again. figure it out. Honey, don't tell him. He has obviously lost himself."
Mitch followed the wings point to a small fire next to him. A small orange tip with a main coloration of red thickened at it neared him. He used his hand. "Whaa. claws, This can't be! this flame. it is mine? No. No,no ,no."
the ferrow spoke bluntly. "Yes me boy. Charmeleon. It is what you are, and there is nothing you can do about it. May have evolved without anyone knowing and while they were looking for a charmander, they didn't look at you."
Mitch shook his head. "SO you mean to say, I am a charmeleon... and I evolved. but managed to lose all traces of ever being a charmander at all."
"Yes, that is what we have been trying to tell you. Look I don't like the idea of you being here. So I will tell you this. This is a nursury. If you even lay a claw or give aggression to the kids, I will throw you on a rock in the ocean so you starve to death. You got me." The ferrow looked back at the kids, and pushed through the small door to get through.
The bayleaf stepped into veiw. "Don't worry about him. Rest. You need to recover. Not sure if you know this right now, but you can tell how strong or weak you are by your tail. right now... well it should be a bit bigger. But rest up. I will bring you some berries in an hour when I go to feed the children. you will need it as we may need you for something soon enough. It is a bit more in your forte. Can save me some time, and make up for the time lost when I dragged you here. You are different. Usually your kind would be a solid red. But you. your back has a line along your spine thats orange like a charmanders, and seems to twist down at your tail. But rest up, recover your senses. I will be back in a little bit to check up on you. Don't let me catch you awake!" A smile drew on her face, as she turned around and pushed out the door. it closed behind her on
its own.
Mitch stood up, legs wobbly. He worked on walking arund for a bit. Much like a child. His tail seemd to keep him from falling forwards, or back at is was out in a rising curve. "Charmeleon? What happened, why can't I remember anything? This is just." *yawn* "So strange. I shouldn't be tired after just sleeping. but I must. His mind went blank as it shut down before he could catch himself. He fell forewards, tail not doing its part. He lied there, mind drifting away. Tail over his back as he fell into a lighter sleep.

[Tobi Good Boy]

Curry would be starting to open his eyes, he was on a red high rise of rock. It was in the shape of a nest. He looked around a bit blinking wildly as he rolls over accidentally falling out of the nest and into the ocean. He flapped his arms and legs wildly, "Help!" he yelled out quickly hitting the ocean, supposedly no one hearing.
As Curry got out, drenched to the bone. His flame quickly came back. He shriveled up as he looked at it. "I'm on Fire!!" He said in his head as he did the stop drop and roll technique, it not taking the fire out. "Wait.. But it's not hurting me.." He thought again "Why am I so small?" He though very hard, "What am I?" He said. "And on top of that... I don't know what happened... I totally got wiped out.. now I just gotta figure out where I am, and what I am... And what happened to me?" He though looking around at his surroundings...

Cecil opened her eyes slowly and yawned. Blinking sleepily she looked around noticing she was lying on a warm stone slab in the middle of a decrepit old temple. Cecil stretched lazily and looked down at herself. Cecil lept into the air in suprise and landed with a loud thud on the ground. Ouch that was not coolCecil thought shaking herself off. Then she looked down again and examined herself. Since when was I an Umbreon, and a shiny one at that? How strange... But what was I before? Ah well guess I'll go figure out where exactly I am she thought silently.

Cecil walked out of the temple and into the forest squinting her eyes at they got used to the bright sun. Once her eyes had adjusted she looked at her surroundings. The first thing she noticed was the beauty of her surroundings. The sunlight filtered through the trees creating pools of light everywhere. Cecil giggled and began frolicing through the forest ignoring where she was going. It wasn't as if she really needed to return to the temple or anything.

[spirits breath]

the bayleaf dropped a small bowl of berries, the vines moving up sporadically on sight of Mitch on the floor. Her once calm face wroght into one that seemed to be like the many children she watches over. She ran back to grab the small bowl with her mouth and over to a small flowing river. As her head dipped down, the water pooling gently over the tipped brim and sparked feintly in the small grassy bowl. Water dripped off of her nose and into the bowl, some drops missing the bowl to splash the floor.

He body moved along the small grass easily, walking as fast as she could while keeping the bowl steady. The charmeleon before he still motionless, tail flickering dimly. "Oh no. No he must live." Her mind raced about placing the small water filled bowl on the ground beside the charmeleon. Her entire body moved swiftly, using small fines to turn him around. She felt for a small breath, only to feel none. She lied him down softly, cupping the charmeleons mouth and nose with her mouth and breathed into it three times, each time letting the small chest droop back down. She used her front two legs and pushed down several times, creating a blood flow in the small red body.

She got off of him, and breathed into him again. Her movements were frantic, tears begining to form in her eyes. She began to push she had to do something else, current efforts not working. He turned her head to the door, still pushing down. "Ferrow, get the pikachu's father here right away. Tell him it is an emergency!" She pushed again, the flame on Mitch's tail still dimly lit.

The ferrow took into the air, gaining altitude rapidly. He searched the ground for the raichu, noticable by its long tail and orange body. His wings beat heavily and hard. "Raichu! Raichu, we need you at the day care center now. There is an emergency and we need you!" The Raichu knew it was better to get going, than to ask why. His tail bounced and his feet picked up dirt behind him.

The raichus large body bashed open the front door of the day care center, finding the bayleafs soft crying easily despite the silence of the children being away on a small trip. "Bayleaf, I am here, what did you..." His voice trailed off as the sight of her placing her mouth around a charmeleon.

The bayleaf looked up, stepping back from the charmleon. "I need you to jolt him lightly. His heart has stopped and you are the only one I can ocunt on to not kill him just to start his heart."

The raichu looked at her, and at the charmleon. Small sparks went out of his cheeks, he controled them and moved his head to the area closest to the heart and let the sparks jolt out at the charmeleons body. He did this again.

Mitch's eyes opened wide, his mouth agape. His entire body heaved as he started to cough. Small wet globules of dirt fell on the ground below him. His body breathed heavily, tail being a bit more ablaze.

The raichu stepped back, "your welcome bayleaf. anytime you need me. And I will be back in about two hours and pick up my little pikachu as normal."

The bayleaf ran up to the charmleon, hugging him tightly, a small uff heard as she did this suddenly. "I thought you were going to die on me. I had berries for you, but they fell on the floor. Not sure if you are alright with them, but I can get new ones for you if you wish."

Mitch weakly replied. "I can manage with the ones on the floor. Nothing bad about them at all."

The ferrow moved down to ground level, wings flapping short rapid strokes that slowed his decent. He watched the edge of the village, mainly grass types, with a few flying and electric types. And now housing a fire type that could ruin the sanctity of the small village. A small digglett poped his head up next to the ferrow. "sir, the charmleon you have. Have you considered if he will be joining the guild yet?"

The large beak turned over to the side. "No I have not. Right now he is far too weak, and I must test his abilities in time. But fear not, give me a few days with him and you can escort him back to the main guild. I have other duties I must perform first."

"Yes master!" With that, the digglett burrowed underneith once again and left in it's same tunnel to the main guild located east of the village.

[AliceMalice15]

Cecil slowed her frolicing as she heard some distant voices. Wow I haw some really good hearing. I wonder who that is. I guess I'll go see. Cecil smiled and trotted towards the voices coming upon a small daycare. Cecil could see a Bayleaf standing near a Charmeleon and a Ferrow not to far away. Cecil sauntered over and Smiled at the group.

"Um hi," she said softly, "I'm kind of new here. Where am I exactly? This is a daycare right? Do you guys maybe need some help? I haven't anything else to do."

Cecil smiled and sat down not wanting to seem rude. Being in a strange place made her nervous.

[Almost_Blue]

Muir watched carefully from the bushes as two trainers walked down the forest path, barely paying attention to what was infront of them.

The two were deep into conversation, yapping away in the human language, before one of them walked directly into a tight string of some kind, catching him off guard as she flailed slightly, 'causing his friend to back up out of cautiousness.

As they began to inspect the wire, two Kakuna's slid down from their own respective branches on either side of the path, firing off a string shot attack at the men, attaching to their closest arm and leg.
The men struggled and panicked, backing up as they attempted to pull back from the assault.
One of them turned around to run, but stopped, looking down and seeing a strange coloured Staryu in their way.
"Wh-what's going on?!" The man called out to his buddy, turning to see most of his body encased in string shot from the kakuna's.

Muir, the Staryu fired off a small, constant, but blinding water gun attack at the mans face.
he flailed, trying to stop the water by putting his hands in the way, but was forced to close his eyes regardless.
Trying to run was another failed attempt, as he managed to looked down to find that his feet were encased and glued to the ground in a sticky string shot.

"Now!" A voice called out from the bushes, only sounding like a cry from a Wooper, to the humans.
A Sentret, and a Linoone rushed out from the bushes, and swirled up the mans body in a hasty motion, before criss crossing at his torso, and making their way back to the ground, and off into the bushes.
"Retreat!" The Wooper now commanded, causing Muir to cartwheel away into the forest. The two Kakuna's disappearing with a blink of the eye aswell, leaving the men trapped and soaked in frustration.

[Moments later, deep into the woods]

"What did you find?" the small Wooper asked the pair, as he stood on the soft grass patch along with them.
A pokeball and a couple berries were thrown onto the ground from the Sentret and the Linoone, whereas four berries and a few useless pieces of junk were thrown down by a Sandshrew that was standing up in the tree branches between the Kakuna's, indicating that he would naturally handle what they can't.

"Good.. They can eat tonight." Muir thought to himself, still not having a way to communicate since he awoke as a Staryu in this world. Muir flopped back onto the ground in a relaxing motion, and stared up at the sky, not that anyone could know what he was actually looking at.

[spirits breath]

The bayleaf slowely turned her head over her back as her body seemed to lag behind in the motion. Her tail seemed to wiggle twice as she began to walk towards the strange looking figure that was known as an umbreon.

She looked at her wiping the distressed expression to be cheerful again. "Hello, I am Melana, a bayleaf for any outsiders who may not know, would you like me to take care of your child?" She looked around quickly. Her face seemed to wonder, as there was no way the Umbreon could be the parent of any of the pokemon she was currently taking care of, and the umbreon was no longer considered a child.

The bayleaf walked on a small leftward arc, listening to her rapid quesitons. The bayleaf walked next to the umbreon, looking into the room she was in a few minutes ago. " Why little one, you would be in Maplewood Forest, just west of the pokemon guild. As for jobs that you wish to help with, all I can try to do is point you towards Guildmaster Krish. He is the large Ferrow you might of passed, he is part of the reason this place is secure."

She walked forwards by the Charmeleon, who was happily eating the berries given to him. She spoke out loud, softly as if a quick run thorugh of anyhting else that could be done." Lets see, we have Rioana the skeptile with the kids now, she also gets the berries before going out with the kids. We have the general care as myself." She turned to look at Cecil. A bit glum in what she would have to do. "Sorry, but right now I can't think of anything that would be needed besides guildwork, and soon to prepare some sort of meal. Mabie put the charmeleon to work as it could save a little bit of time in heating up the water. But you are welcome to help me break some shells of seeds open, and boil them."

The Bayleaf walked by the Umbreon. "Well don't be shy. Eveyone is welcome here. We tend to the weak, and watch the children of those who must head out and bring their children to us. We take good care of them, and Rionna is good with them so it seems natural in her position."

Mitch moved away from the small table, the once small flame seemed to have grown to indicate his health. And his balance was certainly better as well. "Greetings Bayleaf, and... your name would be?"
The bayleaf used a small vine and pushed the charmeleon from his back towards the Umbreon. "Mitch, she motioned to the charmelon. Meet Cecil, she made a motion towards the umbreon. Cecil, meet Mitch. He arrived here some time last night I presume, and only now is walking without stumbling around like a dizzy nidoran."
She moved close to Mitch. "I am going to need you to help me make a fire soon. It is in a rock room, so don't worry about burning anything." She moved up to the Umbreon. If you would like to, you may follow me to the kitchen where I shall begin preparations.

[AliceMalice15]

Cecil smiled warmly at Mitch and held out a paw in greeting. Then she turned her smile steadily to Melana.

"Sure why not," she said happily, "I can't remeber ever cooking anything, but I can try. I do hope I don't mess up. I'm sure with some expert help I can make something decent though."

Cecil giggled and looked at Mitch carefully recording every detail about him. She never knew if the information might come in handy, but it was better to be prepared than not.

"So Mitch was it," she said softly, "are you going to help cook too? Afterwards we could both go talk to Mr. Krish about the guild jobs together. How about it?"

[Almost_Blue]

Muir leaped off the ground in a Rapid Spin attack, in an attempt to hit the target that was placed to hang off of a tree branch, by his clanmate, Sandshrew.
"Go! go! go!" The Sandshrew cheered on as he watched his silent friend practice his skills.

Muir was in direct route of the target for only seconds, before a quick gust of wind threw him off track, forcing him to fly through leaves and small branches, leaving an unintentional trail of fallen earthly debris for Sandshrew to follow.

Sandshrew did infact follow the trail, and with a quick motion at that, leaping from rocks and branches with agility and grace, a feat that wasn't known to too many Sandshrews, before finally reaching a grounded Staryu, that was resting against a tree.
"Muir-sama! Are you okay?!" The sandshrew asked, as he approached, with comfort and support.
"You flew really far.. That would be a deadly rapid spin if you learned to aim right.." The pokemon nodded sagely, as he poked fun, knowing full well that Muir couldn't verbally defend himself.

Muir rose up to a stance, gesturing with it's right arm/point for the two to return to the camp.
Sandshrew nodded, before he turned around, and bent forward slightly, readying for something.
Muir leaped onto Sandshrew, grasping on as much as he could in a piggyback type of ride.
The Sandshrew 'oof'd' as the weight was put onto his own small figure.
Not letting a little weight slow him down, he still managed to jump off the ground, holding onto Muir as they leaped from rock to rock back to their original place.

Upon reaching their camp, Sentret was laying on the ground wounded, and was the only visible clan member in the whole camp, Sandshrew and Muir aside.

Sandshrew released Muir, and rushed to the wounded Sentret, helping him sit up in a comforting manner.
"W-what happened? Are you okay?!" He asked the Sentret.

"It was.." She managed to utter, before taking in a deep breath.
"A..large group...th-they were all so small!...." She continued on.
"And... they were all wearing..the same thing...I-I was so scared!.."

Muir turned to look around for this large group of mini people.
'I wonder if she means..a class of children..' Muir thought to himself, before quickly turning to a rustle in the bushes.
He flailed his arms/points about, hoping Sandshrew would atleast notice his panicking since he was so fixated on Sentret to notice the rustle.

Two small children flew out from the bushes.
The first little girl pointed to the Sentret, yelling out in a high pitched cry; "There! founded it before you!"
"Nu uh! I led us here!" The dirt covered little boy exclaimed, before looking to Sandshrew and Muir.
"H-hey! lookit the colour of dat Staryu!" he pointed out, pulling a purple ball from his pocket, with a candy wrapper stuck to the top.

Sandshrew had already rushed to pick up Sentret, in the same piggyback manner, and called out to Muir; "Don't just stand there, move it Muir!" he commanded, attempting to snap Muir out of his shocked demeanor.

"Go! Thingieball!" The boy called out, throwing the said ball at Muir.
Muir's heart pounded, watching the ball close it's range rather quickly.
Acting on a strange instinct, Muir fired a Water Gun attack, aimed at the ball.
The blast managed to safely deflect the ball into the trees, 'causing the boy to start crying, and run around looking for it.
Feeling that this was as good of a chance that he could get, Muir turned, and leaped into the air with a Rapid Spin attack, like earlier.
Once again, the wind picked up on Muir's smooth back, pushing him higher and higher into the air, up and over the trees, and soon out of sight from Sandshrew.

The Sandshrew merely bolted out of the area with a much lighter Sentret on his back, hoping only for the best for a lost skyward friend and partner.

[spirits breath]

((sorry for the delay, got busy the other day so I couldn't get one up.))

Melana moved slowely, looking back every so often at the two newer pokemon followed her. "It would be pretty hard to mess this recipe up. I am sure you two will do just fine. How do you think i learned?" The bayleaf gave a small smile, eyes closing. Her eyes opened soon after as she made a small left turn. Along her right was a smaller room, leafy with a few larger rocks and a small river going through it. "As you two can probobly tell, we don't see many fire or dark types here. Don't know what environment would suit your kids if you two find someone down the line. Trust me, you may want to wait and find someone your own type. They seem to understand your limitations more. Thats how Krish and I met. And he seems too protective at points."

She stopped, and turned towards Mitch. "You know, If it wasn't for me you would probobly of been left for dead by the water and the waves going closer to your tail flame. He wanted to leave you, I wouldn't let him do that." She hopped into a turn. "So Cecil, would you mind helping me crush the berries and nuts? Mitch, you can start by boiling the water, and if you could keep it boiling. Much easier to cook the nuts to a softer base. Then pretty much we just mash them into fine fragments and coat the berries with them and some honey and you have made one of the tastiest snack you can...well with whats here, there are sure to be different things to do with different berries and nuts."

Meanwhile

Krish had been flying around, making his routine scans of the area for any who dared to try to attack the area. He instantly spotted a small white figure with some blots of red. He saw a small disk fly though the air, and the oddest thing he could here come out of something like that. He heard thingyball if he was correct. He made out a sentret floating on a smaller yellow figure with haste and began his decent. The odd figure picked up some small ball and looked at him. The figure reached to his side and threw a small red and white ball, shouting. "Go, Onyx!"

A small beam of light cascaded from the small ball and a large onyx seemed to sprout where the ball once was. "Onyx, use wrap."
Krish flapped his wings back hard and easily out manuvered the slower onyx. "Hey onyx, what are you doing? That figure is forcing you to attack out of anger, and traps you withing the small ball. Can you honestly live with that?"

The onyx arked upwards, displaying his size and strength. "Obviously, but it has its benefits."

Krish tilted his head. "How so? He orders you to attack a pokemon that can easily kill you. And has a whole guild behind him if anything goes wrong. Then what owuld he do? Leave you behind and be the one to take the hits while he runs away safely."

The onyx looked back at his trainer. "Onyx, stop standing there and use iron tail!"
Krish motioned to the trainer. how long can you do this? I can knock him out and end everything, he will be placed in a jail for a while, tought that he shouldn't use pokemon for his own desires. He should actually calm down a bit."

The onyx stepped aside in a slitherlike manner. "Onyx, what are you doing?" Onyx simply turned around and gave a roar. I am his only pokemon, well was. Everyday, he made me practice moves and strain myself for basic necessities, and then put me into that ball. do you have any idea how cramped it is? Very!"

Krish Swooped towards the trainer and with a hard flap of his wings, collided his wing with the trainers head. Reaching around, Krish picked up the trainer and moved him into the air. He turned and glided into the ocean, going to a small island to meet up with a dragonite. "I found another one Stren. They are becoming more and more of neusances. He imprisoned a onyx to slave his needs and treated him as one as well. Mind teaching this one a lesson or two?"

Tren looked at the trainer and nodded. Krish dropped the trainer into the dragonites arms and flew away to where he saw the dick fly. His wings were fatigued and his body yearned for a small rest. He continured down the forest, spotting a small staryu along the trees. his head shook. "What is with this forest. Where are all these pokeemon comming from, and how does a staryu get on top of the trees?" He moved closer to the staryu and used his large talons to pick up the staryu gently and brought it down to the ground, dropping it a few inches before landing a few feet away. He looked around the pokemon, examining it. he thought to himself. Isn't the gem a different color? Come to think about it, charmeleons are usually a solid color, not with a stripe. Melana is sure oging to be busy if this keeps up. Sure she will just direct anyone to me soon after. Why did I decide to go out with her? Besides being with her since she was a chickorita and I just a sperrow myself.

[Bravado]

Where am I...?

The surrounding area was virtually unfamiliar to its viewer, a large bird sprawled upon its breast in the surrounding foliage. There appeared to be not an item to his name, and no faithful Pokemon at his side.

My name! My name is...? was...?

A shiver crept gradually through his spine as he realized that he could not even remember his own name. Who he was now, who he had been...

This is incredibly painful. What was I doing that made me end up here? Perhaps I fell from a height? Perhaps I've grown faint from dehydration? Yes, that must be it... But why am I here? Where is this?

Whimpering quietly to himself, the Pidgeotto rose slowly to his feet, shuddering with the pressure of his weight upon injured legs. At full height, and with great confusion, he discovered that he could see merely what was around ground level...

By Arceus, why can't I remember my...! Falkner. It was Falkner. Yes... Goodness, that name kind of reminds me of a...

Suddenly, every piece of the puzzle had interlocked; he could feel no fingers, see nothing save for what was directly in front of him, and did not own any Pokemon of his own. Indeed, this could signal only one possible outcome.

"...Biiiiiiiiiird!"

Frightening moreso was the fact that his cry was not, in fact, verbose; the phrase seemed to morph into a high-pitched squawk, distress the undertone. By now his shaking magnified to a level in which he had all but lost control, and because of this, he was forced to take a seat temporarily.

I must gather my thoughts... Yes... I am a Pidgeotto. But really, I am human. I-I'm certain of that. I know I am! And my name is Falkner. But why am I a bird? I'm a man. I should not be a bird. Can other Pokemon speak with me? Can they give me help?

At that moment, a pleasant and narcissistic thought came to mind, and because of this, the Pidgeotto found himself grinning.

I must have been chosen for something. Whoever I was as a human, I must have been superior. I'll bet I'm the only one on earth who has been a human and morphed into a Pokemon. At any rate, I know now that I can earn respect among these wild Pokemon, these... barbarians! If this goes well, I might be able to make them all listen to me!

Attempting to take flight was a completely different matter for Falkner: he did not have the strength or the knowledge to fly, and because of this was forced to navigate on foot. A minor setback, he would tell himself, though he began to feel both skeptical and inadequate.

Perhaps these wild Pokemon do have some sort of knowledge of the area, I guess... Like I need their help! I'll figure it out myself, and they'll all respect me!

Remembering the true extent of abilities he had yet to learn fell upon him full-force, and with that, he continued following the straight stretch of land before him.

...Maybe.

[AliceMalice15]

Cecil nodded and began crushing berries with her paws making sure she mashed them just right. The effect of mashing the berries was calming and Cecil soon fell into a steady rhythm. Once the berries were mashed Cecil began to coat the berries with nuts and honey. Cecil soon found that honey and fur did not mix because she became covered in gooey stick clumps of fur. Cecil grimaced and tried to shake herself, but she only managed to get her ear in the honey and her tail covered in berry juice. Cecil frowned and looked at Melana and Mitch. Why her?

[Almost_Blue]

Muir awoke from his dazed unconsciousness, to find a rather intimidating Fearow standing directly infront of him. Startled, Muir jumped to his feet and slowly began stepping backwards.
Water began gathering in the pokemon's top limb/point, readying a water gun, if this fearsome bird was to attack.

[FlamingDestiny]

Louis felt a sudden rising feeling as he flew upwards, hovering a few feet in the air. He opened his eyes, his vision obscured by a strange purple mist. he tried to walk out the way, but he didnt, or he did, but he didnt, the world didnt bounce slightly as it did when he normally walked.. it sort of, glided, like a camera panning, He looked around, also like a pan. He blinked, and breathed in heavily, but where did the air go? he looked around yet again, dazed and confused, he could remember nothing, other than, a flash of light was his last memory, that and something sharp embedding into his arm. He looked to where his arm should be, but noticed, he didnt have arms! he panicked, He probably had legs, right, or how else would he move? he checked, and almost fainted as he did, No legs. fear overcame him as he looked around, he was surrounded by large stones, they had writing on them. He moved to one of them.

' Here lies the Body of Pikachu,
A dearly beloved Companion and Friend
she shall be sorely missed'

Louis moved back in horror, These stones..Were GRAVES! he wandered around the graveyard, looking for help, when a strange purple creature appeared, it had two hands, floating infront of it's body. Louis looked oddly at it. "Who, Who are-" he stopped, his voice was.. strange, Long, echoey, wispy, almost a moan. "What are you?" he asked the creature, it looked at him, then pulled a horrid face, and Louis felt unable to escape, physically. "That is no way to talk to your elders" the creature said, then hurled a ball of shadows at him, which passed directly through Louis body, but caused him to tightly glose his eyes, and drift backwards from it. he was able to move again. "I..I'm sorry, I'm just a little confused. he said to the creature. "My name is..Louis..yes, And I think Im lost.." he said, looking at the creature, whose features softened.
"i see..My name is Haunter, well, actually it's Jash, but thats beyond the point. You are a Ghastly, a Poké-"
"Pokémon.." Louis said to himself, the name rung a bell..
"Yes, Pokémon..You have the ability to travel with the winds, which is moslty involantary if im honest, and several other ghost li-"
"Ghost?" he asked Haunter. "I'm dead?" he asked him, Haunter looked at him.
"I guess so, So you'd better get used to it, I'll teach you how to survive in these lands. Your differant to most Gastly i met, More..Red" he said with a smile, then gestured with his hand. "Come"

Mitch followed the almost happy-go-lucky bayleaf to where the so called kitchen was, immediatly noticing the small rock firepit. He looked at the bayleaf and umbreon both moving away to where a stach of berries and nuts were. A rather large amount of water was in the bowl. "What should I do Melana?" He seemed unaware of what abilities he possesed.

Melana used her weight and ruptured the shell of the nut beneith her front paws. Her head sunk and shook. "You really are something Mitch. You know that. Have you ever breathed some sort of fire before? So, on otherwords, put your head at an angle to you can simply put a channel of fire into the large hole under the bowl. Then that will heat up the water." She turned and giggled at seeing Cecil who managed to get honey on her a bit more than the berries. she moved up close to cecil, whispering in her ear. "You know, there are a few things to get the honey off of you. Either cut the fur off, dissolve it, or toss you out to the kids and they will be more than happy enough to lick it off of you. Except for some that I won't mention. They may bite." She gave another small giggle and went back to breaking the nuts.

Mitch turned and looked at his tail, unaware on how exactly to breath fire, he shoved his tail under the bowl, only to result in gradually making him feel pretty useless. He hasn't yet breathed any sort of fire. He soon got a spark of an idea. He turned and put his head as close to the hole as he could, and while opening up his mouth wide, and focusing on fire alone, a soft flame build up in his throaght. He pushed the flame up and it soon lept out of his mouth and filled the entire opening under the bowl with a flame. His face curled into a smile, a small fantasy being fulfiled as he was able to breathe fire, without it burning him. He soon stopped, and had to breathe for a little before making another flame, trying to get used to the small flame he could produce near at will.

Krish bowed his head slowely, eyes focused on the small staryu in front of him. He spoke as if he had to display a sense of superiority. "You may not want to try that mind you. And If I planned on going after you, I would have. But so far you haven't done anything. Might not want to start now do you?" He sort of mumbled a few words, "I can't essentially question a staryu, so..." He stepped forwards, spreading his wings slightly. His shest was near the staryu and his head seemed to scan the staryu from a higher elevation. "Mind going for a trip? I can bring you to a small river by a small village. I am going to be making a request for a few people that seem to have stumbled into the village, set down some rules and see about getting them to give their worth."

Louis followed the Haunter, still unsure of how he managed to move. He followed silently behind him, as he passed through the Graveyard, a few other Gastlys materialised with a moan. Louis shuddered, he felt in danger, like a stowaway, or a spy. He followed the haunter untill they arrived at a series of large steps and a larger grave at the top. Two other Haunter were on either side of the steps. The sky appeared purple above the Grave. Gastly followed Haunter up the steps, and as they neared the top, Purple smoke billowed from the grave, (the dirt beneath it) and formed a creature with glowing red eyes and a large body. It had arms and legs. "This is Gengar" The Haunter said. "the only one we know of" He added, and clasped his hands together in a prayer position. "Gengar, A new one has appeared, and is unaware of his situation" he said. The Gengar looked at Louis with its large grinning mouth and bold red eyes.
"What is your Name" The Gengar Queried. Louis shifted a little.
"Louis," he said, nerves creeping up on him. The gengar nodded.
"You are in Jash's hands now boy" the Gengar said, and then disappeared into his Grave.
"a man of few words" Haunter said, as he moved back down the stairs. The other Gastlys vanished. Haunter moved into the surrounding woods.

The Haunter gestured with a long hand to an oddish sleeping beneath a tree. "If you want to survive, you will need to feed." Louis' eyes widened, Haunter laughed. "No, Not the Oddish, His Dreams." he said, and moved towards the Oddish. "like so.." he placed a hand gently around Oddish's body, and a faint blue glow appeared around the outline of it's body. The oddish twitched, and showed signs of distress, but not pain. Haunter stopped and floated away. "It is a harmless procedure" he said, "it involves bonding with the victim...targets mind, then binding with it, Manifesting, then sapping the dreams from it's mind" the Haunter said. "It sounds violent, but it really isn't." He said, then moved away from the oddish, and approached a stick nest. It was filled with Eggs.
"Eggs?" Louis asked, then noticed they were exeggcute. Louis turned to haunter. "How..how am I supposed to do this.." he asked. "No hands" he said. Haunter smiled. "just, try" he told him "Focus"
"okay" Louis replied, then focussed on one of the individual eggs. he concentrated o its mind, trying to merge with it. "Nothing" he said after a few seconds.
"keep going" haunter instructed "be patient, think about it, imagine yourself inside their mind" he said, and Louis nodded and tried again. He imagined himself as the exeggcute, and almost as soon as he did, the smoke that surrounded him began to creep towards the egg, engulfing it. Louis felt the sudden bond, and gasped. "Keep Focus!" Haunter injected quickly, Louis closed his eyes and focussed on the creatures Dreams. He found them, and he felt something. He saw the dream, he watched it happening, The eceggcute were resting in the sun, basking. Then the sky turned black, and with it, the world began to deteriorate, as the dream was erased from the creatures memory. Louis opened his eyes in horror, He saw that the smoke was blue where it touched the Pokémon. He retracted the smoke, feeling energised, but horrified. he turned to Haunter,
"I felt it.." he said. "I felt the dream, it was warm, Nice, Then cold and miserable, i felt it being sucked away.." he said, looking to the side. Haunter moved over to him.
"I know, It's like that at first, but it gets better, especially when you know they cant feel it, and no damage is done, look" Haunter said as he patted the egg lightly. It awoke groggily.
"eeh..eh. oh, What do you want?" it asked, it had a sharp, snappy voice.
"What did you dream about?" Haunter asked the egg,which simply muttered to himself as he drifted off back to sleep. "See?" Haunter said. "he's still a grouch" he laughed, And Louis half joined in. "Come on" Haunter said. "Lets find you a Bed"

[Almost_Blue]

Muir glanced up at the even more intimidating Fearow, as it glanced back down at him with a wide wingspan.
"Care to go for a ride?"
Those words alone sent a chill through Muir's very core, and with a hastey reflex, the staryu, unable to say anything, flung itself into the air, riding the winds once again, in an attempt to get away from the large bird.

Spinning at a fast speed, the staryu accidently trimmed the tail feathers of a passing Pidgey, who would continue to have a bad rest-of-the-day.
After it was finished rage chirping at the flying staryu, it flew off in a stormy pout.

[FlamingDestiny]

Haunter took Louis to a Blank gravestone. "This will be your Bed" he said, looking at the Grave. Haunter took one of his hands, and Quickly swiped in the words:
]
Here lies the Body of Louis.
He shall be sorely Missed

Haunter turned to Louis and then smiled as he showed him he Grave. The wording make Louis stomach churn, if he had one that was. "This is where I sleep? How?" he asked, moving over to the Grave, But he felt almost instantly when he crossed over he mound of earth in front of the headstone, he was linked to the Grave. He closed his eyes, and turned into similar smoke that the Gengar had previously been in, And fell to the floor, and into the Earth.

((Short reply because I had an idea- if the rest of them visit the Graveyard, they could see Louis' Grave, and the name would ring a bell
I dunno, just an Idea, I'll post it in the OOC too ))

[AliceMalice15]

Cecil shook herself getting more of her fur stuck up in odd spikes and frowned. She didn't want to cut her fur! Goodness only knew how long it would take to grow back! Cecil sighed and turned to the door.

"Looks like I'll be getting a good licking," she mumbled, "I hope the kids don't mind umbreon flavored honey.

Cecil walked out of the kitchen and returned a few minutes later with a totodile attached to her ear and an ekans fastened to her tail. Cecil's eyes were filled with tears of pain as the two children contined to stay latched to her fur. Running into the kitchen she began to shake herself to try and disslodge them.

"Gaaaaaaah," she screamed, "get them off me!!!! Ow ow ow ow ow! Oh jeez that hurts! I'm so stupid! Why me?!"

[spirits breath]

Almost immeadiatly after Cecil went back into the kitchen, Rioanna the skeptile ran in after her. Her face worried, yet holding back the laughter of the fact the umbreon who she had seen only for a second would end up being attacked by a few small pokemon. She clapped loudly. " Alright you two, off now! Do I have to get your parents in here? I Will. Or should I seperate you two with a little lesson?"

The two figures reluctantly withdrew from the umbreon, the totedile stomping the ground, and the ekans slithered in suit. Rioanna casually walked towards the umbreon. She looked over at Melana. "Did you tell this umbreon to simply do for a short swim? Honey is really just sugar, and the water would get rid of it easily."

Melana bashfully muttered, "No. But I also wasn't planning on Cecil to go out and let the kids lick the sugar off of her."
Rioanna coughed, swallowing salaiva the wrong way, forcing her to pause for a minute as the saliava was out of her trachea. "That wasn't the best move then I assume, how about next time you make anything with honey, you let me know so that I can try to make these kids be ready to collapse before giving it to them." She shook her head dissaprovingly. "As much as i love you, these times make me really wish I never started working here."

Melana walked up to the skeptile. "Then why don't you go back to the guild, take one of the requests up and do that then, hmm? So how about we get back to work."

The skeptile turned, her tail brushing the ground behind her. She looked back at the two new faces in the kitchen. "So uh. I assume the umbreon is Cecil, and the little one you have trained to boil water is the new guildee? Oh yeah, Cecil. You may want to get that stuff off, no idea how it works getting them off of fur, but it isn't going to be fun if you hate water."

Mitch stepped away from the small fire place he was lighting. He panted heavily, wobbling at being light headed. "Names Mitch. And I haven't joined the guild, well to be honest I don't even know who I would be with in the guild."

Rioanna gave a smile. "Well, the missions. Well, it is actually hard to say. Depends on who is there, and what needs to be done. Like I doubt they would send a team of fire types in to try and get something underwater. But the teams are really up to you. Just you each get a smaller share of money and hopefully get along with. Krish is the one to go to, he is always trying to get people in his guild. He has to relax a little bit as well. Especially if he tries to get his way again through force and guilt." She paused for a bit of time. She clentched a fist. Bringing the fist to her head, and swinging it down in an arm pump, "I may have teach that bird a lesson or two." She walked down the hall, towards the door to the river past the several children.

Melana turned around, and cracked open the last nut. She then used a vine to push everything she can fit onto a curved leaf and dumped it into the water. She continued to do this uintil the bowl was filled with water and nut fragments. "Thanks for the help. Go out and relax a bit. The kids may want to know something about a fire type."

Mitch reluctantly turned into the door to the room with all the kids. Soon to realize that he was taller than them, and unknowingly would soon feel the consenquense of his decision.

Krish looked up towards the escaping staryu. "I must say...I did not expect that at all. Honestly, the first staryu to fly around in my eyes." He shook his head, body tired from flying around for the past three hours and just needed some ground time to recover. I wonder what that gengar is up to. Swear if he is doing what I think he is, I am going to kill him. Can you kill a ghost? Whatever, I will kill him, find a way to wake him up, and kill him again. But why must he live where the cemetary is. Defiling this entire islands ancestry with his presence. But I must give my dues, or I am no better than he is.
The Fearrow walked slowely though the small forest, finding his way to the cemetary. His tail feathers instantly gave a quick shiver as the place was always a dead zone, and seemed to lack the familiarity of life.

[FlamingDestiny]

Louis sensed the Fearow approaching, or at least, something And he felt unsafe. As he felt this, he began to reapear from the Grave. The smoke that held him together came first, then densened to form his face. He opened his eyes and saw the Bird. He watched it carefully, it seemed uneasy.

(sorry,not too sure what to reply with >.<)

[spirits breath]

Krish continued walking, his body swaying left and right as he did so, while his head focused forwards, his eyes wandered about in search of the gengar, who could practically be in any grave now. Even though he felt like he should talk with one of the ghosts, he wasn't fond of their ability to rise up out of the grave and start talking to him, even if it used to be someone he knew. The last time we fought, not for anything serious, just a friendly fight. He should have told me he had a broken rib. I never would have hit him if I knew. That stupid arbok. His ability to hide his weaknesses was great, but I wish I knew. His son mustn't be told that his father died. Then at that age, who knows what can happen?

Krish moved forwards, looking along the graves. While he knew where his friends grave was, he felt that he could have done something to prevent at least ten deaths that now were in this cemetary.

But then, a ghastly. Some reason awake at this time. With an odd coloration signified that he was definitly new. Krish brought his head down, reading each grave as he walked towards the ghastly. He spoke quietly, not essentially wanting to wake the whole cemetary. "Who are you? I havn't gotten any reports on a death recently, and for a new ghastly to appear...well then somebody was killed." He moved a bit closer to the ghastly, looking at the small smoke around it. "Odd coloration indeed. Now then, any memories on who you were before you died? If we have a murderor on this island, then it can help to narrow the suspects."

[AliceMalice15]

Cecil sighed when the Totedile and Ekans released her and ran off to play. Shaking herself she nodded to the Skeptile and padded lightly over to the water. Using a toe she tested the water which as cool to the touch. Cecil smiled and lept into the water with a huge splash drenching several children who were at the waters edge. The children shrieked happily an followed suit leaping onto the back and tumbling intothe water. Cecil laughed and watched the kids as they played in the water.

Suddenly she heard a loud cry above the other kids laughter. Looking around she caught sight of a small Shinx disappearing around a bend in the river. Cecil lept onto higher ground and called to the children to get out of the water. Turning she raced along the river after the Shinx. As she rounded another bend she caught sight of the Shinx again and quickly dove in after it. When she surfaced the Shinx was clinging tightly to her back. Cecil swam with powerful strokes as she tried to swim toward the steepening shore.

Soon she began to run out of energy. Cursing herself Cecil let the current carry her for a while. Soon they reached a part of the river that was calmer and Cecil swam to the shore. Looking around she realized how lost she'd become. Sighing she turned to the Shinx who was shaking pitifully.

"You got a name kid," she asked, "can't just call you kid now can I?"

"Shibuya," the Shinx replied, "are we lost miss? I want to go home."

"Nah we aren't lost," Cecil lied, "we'll be back soon. We just have to walk back. You ready?"

Shibuya nodded and stood up following after Cecil who sighed and began to follow the river uncertainly.

[AliceMalice15]

((ok I know double posting bad right? But no one else is posting and I left my character in an awkward place.))

Cecil felt as if she had been walking for hours. Behind her Shibuya stumbled along trying to keep up. Cecil sighed and picked him up laying him on her back to rest.

"Miss Cecil," Shibuya murmured, "we're lost aren't we? We've been walking for hours and we should have been back by now."

"Yeah we are," Cecil sighed, "but we seem to be getting closer to something. I don't know what it is but I can feel some sort of energy. It's kind of wierd."

Cecil could soon see some flat stones ahead of them and sped up. Soon they entered the graveyard and Cecil smiled. Now they were getting somewhere. Cecil walked through the graveyard and caught sight of Krish. Shibuya saw him too and ran toward him.

"Mr. Krish," she called happily, "Mr. Krish! Miss Cecil we're not lost any more. Mr. Krish Cecil saved me! I almost drowned."

[FlamingDestiny]

Louis looked at the Fearow. "My Name is Louis. and I dont know very much more than that." He told the bird. he felt his body floating up and down slightly. "I don't know howi died, or how I became A Ghastly, Or even how i was born." he explained, looking around. "All I know is that I eat dreams and live in graves" he said, looking at his Headstone.

[spirits breath]

((was not expecting nothing to have changed within a 4 hour break from this site. Bit odd for my tastes. But well onto the post. And sorry for any delays in writing this post))

Mitch slowely felt the lonelyness of the vacancy of Rioanna being there to stop the children from edging in towards him. He backed away, mouth agape in fear as he knew what was going to happen, only one thing can happen when the eger eyes of roughly ten younge pokemon wanted to figure out something about fire types. Mitches scream was drowned out in playful laughter before it could be muttered. He felt roughtly 20 different appendages touching him, perhaps a large blanket of heated breath wraping around him in a way that only a vivid nightmare can produce. He was instantly asked one question he had been asking himself all day. "Does your tail hurt from the fire?"

Mitch felt back, touching his tail past the flame. "To me it does not, but with you all, it would be like... well it would...burn I guess. Just don't touch it for your safety." He found himself backed into a wall, forced into a position that a teacher would be in when the kids felt bold in asking questions.

Krish slowely nodded his head eyeing the ghastly. A chant of his name easily sparked attention from the small pokemon running at him. His left eye closed momentarily, knewing full well that the water must have been stronger, possibly a storm comming in later. He let out his wing, allowing the Shinx under his wing. He gently rested his wing on the small form at his left.

Looking back at the ghastly, then he looked at the gravestone."You know I will never understand the concept of dream eating. But anyways. As always, you two, the umbreon and you Louis. I would like to extent an invitation to the Guild. We maintain peace and aid in practically anything that is sent to us. Be it to take down a criminal, or to help an elder get a few berries for something to eat, we veiw to help in the causes of all. Now then, tomorrow at sunrise if you are wanting to go even to see what it is like, you get paid and we have our own shops that holds items you may never find anywhere on this island."

Rioanna ran down the river, her strong legs pushing up behind her. He body moved like a stream line down the riverside. Her head quickly turned to the side, hearing a surprised remark of a pidgey and the drop of some unknown thing as well. She pushed off the edge of the riverbed, jumping the streatch of water, the end of her fern-like tail dipped the water and carried it behind her. She wove though trees, nodding in a gentle manner to a walking pidgey and over to the tan body of a staryu..? Her body agily slid forwards as she stopped suddenly, her back arched in a returning manner to her normal posture. She stood there, watch ing the water pokemon move around, noting a different color for the jewel in it's center. She stared, questionable on what exactly to do. Especially on why it would be this far out from the water.

[AliceMalice15]

Cecil bowed respectfully and sat on the ground. She pondered the offer for a few minutes and sighed.

"Thank you kindly for the offer Mr. Krish," she said calmy, "but I'm not sure if I will accept. I may not even stay here for long. I'm not sure. If there were a way for you to get these jobs to me where ever I was then I might join."

Shibuya ran out from under Krish's wing and latched on to Cecil's leg refusing to budge.

"You can leave Miss Cecil," he cried, " I won't let you. Please stay. I'm sure we can find you a nice place to stay and you can work with Mr. Krish. Please Miss Cecil."

Cecil sighed and smiled down at the little Shinx. He stared up at her with his eyes glistening with tears ready to start crying as soon as she said no. Cecil smiled and looked up at Krish.

"Alright I'll stay," she sighed, "and I will join your guild. Now can you point me back in the direction of the daycare, so I can take this little one back?"

[FlamingDestiny]

Louis Nodded, well, he think he nodded. "Thank you. But, if i may ask, what is your name?" he asked the large bird, a soft smile on his gaping mouth.

(sorry not sure how to reply)
