[FIN] Trainer Teams

[Blood_Goddess]

The Cyndaquil tilted her head, She knew what evolution was, but she didn't know what the Eevee meant by if she evolved into one.
Her thought process was derailed when her friend voiced interest in seeing her fire.
Hopping back, doing as she had been told before, make sure there is enough room ... that wasn't enough! She hopped back a little more. There! that was good.
Taking a deep breath in, and in one powerful lungful expelled a jet of bright flames into the air.

A stern frown set on Vahy'n face, the Vaporeon drawing herself up at the dark type's choice, though she barely opened her mouth to speak when another voice, this one from Anastasia.
What the Umbreon had to say had more of an affect, and while the Sneasel didn't drop the attitude, she removed herself from the window.
Vahy'n warned as the pokemon moved away.

Grealhorn gruffed as he watched her go as well, looking back over to his team mates.

Vahy'n turned to Anastasia

Inside the Jirachi still huddled in on herself, holding her hands infront of her eyes and not daring to look, she could hear who was talking, but she still could not feel them, causing her to jump in surprise every time he said something, as if not expecting a noise at that given moment.
"You're empty, How can I know you're real if you're not there!"
With a sudden flash of light, something large appears around the Jirachi, a pot, still filled with water and berries.
the water splashed out onto the ground, gushing across the ground as berries bounced and rolled along with the waves.
the pot now sitting upside down where the Jirachi had been sitting, a small voice just barely echoing "Whats below the skin is the true truth, what the eyes do not see the mind will replace."  

[Suudonym]

The Umbreon's tail waved back in forth in an idle, languid motion. The sudden clattering and splashing caused Tenebrae to rise, jumping back a step with his ears lowered. He wasn't exactly sure what had happened, but he wasn't going to lose his composition over it either. the dark-type sighed, me, as the only other suspect at the crime scene.> He moved to bat at one of the rolling berries with his paw, pushing it towards some of the others to begin gathering them in one place.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Angeline said, wiggling her tail again. When Ballet hopped backwards, the Eevee similarly stepped away to allow more room - she didn't want to get hurt - and her blue eyes widened when the sudden burst of flame erupted from the small pokemon. awesome!> That looked so cool! Why couldn't she do that?

Agatha merely waved a paw dismissively before disappearing around the corner.

Anastasia, on the other hand, snorted lightly before sitting again, then raised her ears a bit as she turned an apologetic look to Vahy'n and Grael. and that was only because the Absol would quite literally catch her and beat the crap out of her if she didn't,  

[Blood_Goddess]

Ballet bounces back over to the Eevee excitedly the Pokemon leaped toward the Eevee in a playful Tackle.

Pastin had fallen quiet for a few seconds, his head turned toward where his partner was, listening to her conflict, though as it quickly wrapped up.
Ears fanned forward, the watchfull blue eyes followed the dark type as she left around the house, and the sudden loud crashing sound from inside the house.


Vahy'n reassured the fins along her head flattening a little in concern over what had happened to cause the noise.

Pastin said, turning back to Luna as Vahy'n entered the house, with Kiss following close after.

Vahy'n spoke to Anastasia as she took a few steps toward the door of the house, stopping suddenly when she felt water under her paws.
<... oh dear.>
Fins perking forward Vahy'n glanced around the kitchen floor, now layered in water and berry

 

[Suudonym]

Gradually Tenebrae collected the berries, leaving the overturned cookware alone for the time being. He cast a glance at Vahy'n as she approached,

Rem, her fur settling as the commotion calmed, blinked at Kiss Kiss in her typical stolid demeanor. she repeated, then glanced towards Tenebrae and Vahy'n.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Angeline hadn't been really expecting the Tackle, playful though it was, and toppled backwards with an 'oof!' The action made Lulu quickly rise to her paws from her sitting position, her fins splayed as she stood nearby, ready to interrupt if need be. The Eevee righted herself easily, though, and jumped back to her paws. She said, her tail wriggling once more as she again dropped into a play stance to bat at the Cyndaquil. While she'd claimed to know the move, she didn't attempt it as Ballet had.

the Umbreon agreed, though her tones sounded a little disheartened. That said, she refrained from commenting further as Vahy'n entered the house to see just what had happened.

The commotion indoors had similarly drawn Luna's attention, and as she turned her head in that direction, her ears perked forward as well. After a few moments, she returned her focus to Pastin, though one ear remained turned in the direction of the house. the dark Rapidash replied with a light, thoughtful frown in her expression. She still hadn't trained much, and therefore didn't know how they managed their time with it, nor how many opportunities they normally encountered while out in the field and what would be considered 'stale.' she surmised, her ears flicking backwards a little with another frown.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Ballet giggled and roll around as she was batted at, jumping onto the eevee, taking the large ear in her mouth and pulling playfully.
She thought hard for a second.

Perdy said from up above, leaning down to watch the small pokemon.

Ballet bounces
her long nose wrinkled over a grin

Pastin nodded his head lightly, glancing over as Greahorn removed himself from his side to walk over toward the two younger pokemon, and the concerned looking Vaporeon.
Pastin continued in a lower tone.

Vahy'n's attention was drawn to the upturned pot, a paw lifting out of the water as she cast a glance back at the Umbreon for his kettle comment.

Vahy'n approached the pot, listening to the little voices from within.


"Yes."



"The dark"

Vahy'n's eyes lifted toward Tenebrae once again, lowering herself down closer to the pot

"No, I can still see everything, I can feel everything, I don't have to see them, the ones who aren't there." a slight whimper came to her voice "I don't understand them."  

[Suudonym]

you, little one,> Tenebrae contributed, taking up a position beside his berry pile but reluctant to seat himself once more now that the floor was all puddled. He lifted his chin slightly, his words enunciated as though he were reciting some profound moral,  

[BlackFireKitsune]

The blue-eyed Eevee yelped as she was unexpectedly jumped on and had her ear tugged, but none of it hurt, so she growled playfully and attempted to roll over to bat at Ballet. While her curiosity piqued at the thought of seeing another move, the fact that it would hurt her eyes kind of dampened her excitement. she huffed with a light frown, then shook her head, do,> she amended,

Lulu didn't notice as Grael approached, too focused on the Eevee and Cyndaquil. Her body tensed as Ballet jumped on Angeline, but as it became clear they were merely playing still, she attempted to relax a little, though remained standing for now.

Luna echoed in similarly low tones in case it was a sensitive topic, and tilted her head slightly in mild confusion and curiosity. Disappointing, she could understand, or even disheartening - but troubling? She couldn't quite wrap her head around that thought. she admitted apologetically.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Ballet offered in excitement.

Grealhorn grunted as he drew closer to the Vaporeon, trying to get her attention.

Pastin started, trying to figure out how to word it. Pastin let out a heavy breath through his nose, a jet of steam joining it.

Lowering herself down next to the pot, not minding the water in the least, the Vaporeon glanced from the Umbreon to the upturned pot, that continued to remain silent.
She asked.

There was a long moment when the silence continued, before a small voice replied. "Just the words... Nothing else."



Silence.



"... What kind of story?"

Vahy'n looked over to Tenebrae, nodding toward the pot to cue him in.

Kiss turned around, putting her hands on her hips and looking over at Rem She made a gesture to the pokemon standing in the water  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Angeline opened her mouth to reply in an excited manner, frowned, and closed it with a thoughtful furrow of her brow. <...but if I close my eyes,> she protested slowly, There seemed to be a fundamental flaw with this plan.

Lulu started, tensing again (not that she'd even relaxed much anyway) and twisting her head up to the Sawsbuck in surprise and blinking up at him with wide purple eyes. Her gaze quickly fell to the young pair again before shifting back up to Graelhorn,

Luna nodded her head in understanding; while she didn't see Luke or even Rosie as often, she at least knew of the situation, either from Sera herself or from her other pokemon. she agreed softly, her gaze traveling over the various other pokemon gathered in the yard with a thoughtful frown. While she phrased it as a final statement, it was more a restatement of Pastin's words combined with her own thoughts to help her puzzle it out more. It didn't seem to make sense to her; why would people leave when they discovered and effectively removed the threat from the desert?  

[Suudonym]

It was a shame the floor was such a mess; if he was going to tell a story, he would have liked to take a seat, but the comfort of a reclining posture simply wasn't worth the discomfort of damp fur.

he said, He paused to gesture to the normal-type at play with the Cyndaquil. The glance also served to remind him of her bright blue eyes, pink fur, and heart-shaped markings, and he cleared his throat, much like her, but similar in essence. I was somewhat somber in my youth, to the great chagrin of my breeders who preferred their hatchlings to be adopted as soon as possible. You see, when most trainers make the decision to adopt an Eevee, they're usually seeking the cute and cuddly stereotype, and it is common for those who fall outside of that norm to go overlooked.


the energy of his tone increased with his enthusiasm for the topic,

A nostalgic sigh punctuated the Umbreon's rambling.

Rem, still staring towards the small assembly of pokemon, rolled her eyes at the lengthy story. him.>  

[Blood_Goddess]

Ballet frowned Though, there wasn't any point in really doing it here if Angeline wouldn't be able to watch it.



Grealhorn said in a stern tone, the kind he usually carried, so who knew if it was even meant to be stern.

Pastin hummed in agreement, though he flicked both his ears back, lifting his head up to look out over the fenced aria.

There was no noise from within the pot as Tenebrae spoke, carrying on a story about his youth and his experiences with his element.
Vahy'n sat by the pot wordlessly, trying to listen for movement from within while glancing over to Tenebrae as he continued his story.

Inside the pot the Jirachi sat motionless, wrapped in the long crysteline tendrils that grew out of her shoulders, dripping we hands pressed to her soaking face as she just huddled in the darkness, allowing only the feelings of the living creatures outside to join her.
Though Tenebrae's story, though void of any feeling that she could sense, did not go unheard.

Lowering her hands at once point, as his story about what darkness brought him, the Jirachi opened her eyes to the darkness that surrounded her.
She was born into darkness, knew nothing but for a long time, and still now found shelter in it, where her mind could be expanded with the dulling of her other senses. And reminded her of the time in her life when she didn't feel utterly alone, she had never been alone back then, not there was no one.

Feeling the Eevee that he was talking about, able to sense her playful joy, her excited curiosity along with the other small white pokemon.
She tried to identify that with the voice that was talking, but it didn't seem to fit.
He however, continued, and expression his emotions in words instead.
She knew little of emotions through words, but had recently come to identify them with the way they were voiced or described. She could hear his passion, even if she couldn't feel it, and though it was still disturbing, her eyes widened in shock that one could still reply emotion with word.

"I cannot feel what the dark wants to tell me... I can only hear what the dark evokes... I can't tell yet, if I like it or not. Its scary."  

[Suudonym]

Tenebrae gave a thoughtful hum. he asked, he paused briefly for emphasis,

Rem, having recently stood, moved quietly further into the kitchen, minding the puddles - for the time being. she announced.

The Umbreon's ears lowered, his expression unamused.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Angeline frowned thoughtfully before she plopped her rump onto the grass and stared down at her paws. she said excitedly, her gaze darting to Ballet again. the Eevee suggested. That sounded like a good idea to her.

The fins on Lulu's head lowered a bit as she frowned at Grael, then her eyes moved to the blue-eyed Eevee nearby. she countered with some concern lacing her words after a few moments, still watching the young pair.

Luna followed Pastin's gaze out over the fence at the street beyond. she theorized, enjoys fighting. Though, granted, some do enjoy it, and relish in the violence,> she added with some measure of distaste, her gaze subconsciously shifting towards the side of the house where Agatha had disappeared.
