Masters, A Pokemon RP(CLOSED) Chapter 7: Out of the Woods.

[Mookie_Magnus]

You did do well, Vandal. Quillz answered the Scyther. Like you said you would. Does this mean that you'll be less irritable, now?

Quillz joked with the Scyther, as Trainers and Pokemon alike relaxed and rested. It was calm and peaceful, if you didn't already know, then there wouldn't be any way to tell that these young people were tasked with fighting such a powerful foe.

Magnus looked out the window of the Pokemon Center, and saw that the sky was getting dark. Putting on his jacket, he told Beth to get ready to go into the Forest.

"Alright, guys..." Magnus said to his friends and traveling companions. "I'm going into the Ilex Forest, you're more than welcome to stay here if you like, as we might be quite a while. Of course, you can come with if you like."

 

[Sporky111]

"I'm going to stay here Magnus." Sylas said, "I'm kinda worn out. I'll let you two have your family time."

Spoiler

Really, I just want to start some conversation and get the less active posters back into this thing.

 

[sage42]

"I'll stay here too." Brandon said setting the egg down on an empty seat. "Besides I want to keep this thing as close as I can.Ya know just encase somethin happens."

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

"Not much is going to happen, Brandon." Magnus said to his companion. "It's not going to hatch for a while... I'm not exactly sure, but Ralts are Pokemon that take a while to hatch. Probably not for a few weeks at least."

"What about you, Uncle Duncan?" Beth asked her cousin, whom she called an Uncle because it made more sense to her. "You want to come with us to find a Pokemon for me?"

 

[Lost In The Void]

Duncan smiled at the young girl, "Of course I would like to help you."

He was excited to help his cousin catch her first Pokemon, it was bound to be exciting.

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

"Yay!" Beth squealed happily as she pulled on her jacket. "Come on. Let's go!"

The girl began to push Magnus towards the door, and Magnus called back his Pokemon and beckoned Duncan to follow them.

"Hurry up, Slowpokes!" Beth said to her uncles.

"Don't make me hang you by your feet, kiddo." Magnus faux-threatened her. "We're coming. Come on, Duncan."

I fuckin' hate the cold. A man bundled against the weather and wearing a fedora thought to himself as he walked through Azalea Town that night. He had been searching for someone for months... Someone specific. According to his contacts, word was that the boy was here in Azalea. I ain't gonna miss this chance... I got business to take care of.

The man passed by the Pokemon Center, and saw two young men and a young girl leave the building. Something seemed familiar to him about one of the young men, but he couldn't place his mind on it at the moment... Too cold.

If they're passing through Azalea, then that means they'll be headed towards Goldenrod via Ilex Forest... That's where I'll lay my trap.

******

Magnus, Beth, and Duncan made their way through the dark-skied night, and found themselves in Ilex Forest. Quillz was walking steadily beside her trainer, acting as a light in the darkness, and as a buffer against most of the cold.

"Alright, Beth..." Magnus asked his niece as they were inside the Forest. "Can you take us to where you saw this rare Oddish?"

"It's this way." Beth explained to them. "By the Shrine of the Forest Protector."

Beth began walking in the direction of the Shrine, her uncles close by.

 

[Lost In The Void]

Duncan laughed at the energy of his young cousin. She was still so innocent, white as the clean snow around them. He carried his rifle, like he did everytime he found himself in Ilex Forest. It was a beautiful place, but could be very dangerous as well and for that, he kept a close eye on his cousin as Beth hadn't learned these tough life lessons yet. Duncan had only learned them after he had been to the hospital with a severe Venonat Poisening.

 

[Sporky111]

"So what are your plans for that egg?" Sylas asked Brandon, taking his seat next to the now sleeping sandshrew. Baron jumped onto the seat and sat down next to him, still wide awake.

Sylas was curious about Brandon's plan, because from a training standpoint he couldn't see the benefit of having a Gardevoir and Gallade and another Ralts on the way.

 

[sage42]

"Well honestly I'm just gonna raise it lie I did Jack and Lilly." He said turning to Sylas. "I know it may seem odd to have three of the Ralts family for Pokemon but I can't help it. My mom has a Gardevoir, my dad a Gallade. Out of all the Pokemon species in the world they are by far my favorite." He said with a smile.

 

[Sporky111]

"You're a family guy, huh? I guess that makes sense."

He reached down and scratched Baron just under the edge of his helmet, making the cubone lean in closer and hum.

Spoiler

Sage, don't you have 6 in your party already?

 

[sage42]

Spoiler

Yes and when the Egg hatches One of them will be put into the PC

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

Beth finally managed to reach the Forest Shrine, a small wooden shrine that survived the ages somehow, honoring Celebi, the Guardian of Ilex Forest. She stopped in front of it and kneeled, saying a small little prayer to the spirit of the Forest... and possibly asking for help in finding the green Oddish.

"Where should we start looking?" Beth asked once her uncles arrived at the spot. "Uncle Magny... Oddish come out at night, should we just wait until it appears?"

"I guess so..." Magnus said, looking around. Several Oddish could already be seen, as well as some Paras, Venonat, and other nocturnal Pokemon. "Unless... Duncan, do you have any other ideas?"

 

[Sporky111]

Spoiler: Moving along...

Sage, you have to contribute at least a little bit if you plan to stay in this. I'm trying to make an opportunity for you guys (you and Caimekaze) to get back into this, but you're not putting the effort in.

While Sylas and Brandon were talking, Vandal silently made his way out of the center and walked for a bit outside. He tucked his arms and wings in close against his body to help fend off the cold.

After fighting Bugsy's scyther, had been questioning of his own attitude. He didn't feel weak anymore, so why would he need this tough persona? It's not just a persona. he thought, coming to a conclusion, This is what I've made myself. I can't change just because I won a fight.

 

[sage42]

Spoiler

I know I feel really bad about not contributing, I really do. But can't think of a damn thing to post and when I do it's not much.

"Hey Sylas If you don't mind me asking, how did you come to find Baron here? Even in Kanto they're a rare find." Brandon asked as he watched Vandal walk out of the pokemon center. He should be fine, He did take out the Gym leaders Scyther after all.

 

[Sporky111]

"Well, I've lived in Lavendar Town my whole life. Cubone are more common in those parts, but yeah: rare. I was really just walking in the woods around the town and met him there. Vandal swooped in to attack, like he did to everything at the time, and Baron fought back. He almost won, and if it weren't for Vandal's flight advantage he would have."

He affectionately rubbed the top of Baron's helmet. The cubone was watching them intently as they talked about him. "He's a trooper, he's saved me on a couple occasions."

"How about Jack and Lilly? You said your parents had pokemon in the same family, was one of them bred for you?"

 

[razer17]

"Your Cubone sure is cute. I always wanted one, I feel so sorry for them though, weraing the skulls of their dead mothers..." Dani butted in. "Oh, sorry for interupting"

Spoiler: OOC

Just to get back into it after my hiatus. Also, is it only me that feels the whole "Dead mother" thing is a bit weird?

 

[Sporky111]

Spoiler

Well, cubone was created before breeding was a game mechanic. It can't really be helped, since the game doesn't say anything about their mothers dying in childbirth.

Of course, that raises the question: if they aren't born with the skulls on are they really cubone until they put one on?

Sylas looked up at Dani. "Don't worry about it, you can talk to us." he said, then changed to her topic, "I don't know about Baron, a lot of cubone cry about their mother but I've never heard him do it."

Upon hearing his name mentioned, Baron jumped off the couch and wandered over to Dani. He looked up at her curiously for a second, then proceeded to cuddle her leg.

 

[Lost In The Void]

"Ya, Houndour doesn't really get along well with Grass types so I don't think we can go that route, "Duncan said. He stopped when he saw Beth's downtrodden face, "But we're still going to find that Oddish, we're just going to do it the Deity way."

He smiled and pulled out a little camouflage face paint and wiped it on two streaks across Beth's face while she giggled, "Alright now we're ready to find the Pokemon for you," Duncan motioned for Magnus to keep an eye on Beth when he couldn't. As he knew before the woods were dangerous.

Soon though they were all having fun. They moved silently through the woods, stalking Pokemon as Duncan had been trained to by his father. He was now teaching his little cousin. It brought him back to the first few hunts he had done with his father and he was glad he was able to teach Beth this now.

 

[razer17]

The Cubone jumped from the couch, towards Dani, then hugged her leg. "Awww how cute" Dani squeaked. She bent over and hugged the Cubone, then gave him a pat on his head.

"Well I guess it's good he doesn't cry. He must be a brav little one" She patted his head again. "How did you choose the name? It really suits him"
