[PRP] Brave Altaria, Assemble!

[Blood_Goddess]

Ray grinned broadly down at the Eevee that had been let out of the Ball, young indeed, still quite small.
"Well hey there Fluffster! Its nice to meet you." Ray said, kneeling down to properly greet the Eevee. "You know you ended up with the best trainer right? This girl here? she's going places, and you're going to be there with her the whole way, ain't ya?"

grinning back at Yuri Ray tilted her head
"Mmmore like someone who isn't registered with the League having a ball, of any kind, is illegal. Any trainer could have those balls if they wanted. heck I've been given a few before." She flicked a bug off of her arm "Never used them, whats the fun in that?" making a click with her tongue she winked again.

Dove's apparent oblivious notice to Ray's teasing earner her another one of Ray's wide, uncomfortable smirks, girl needed a sense of humor.

Looking back to Yuri when he claimed that the ball wasn't empty, though also claimed then he didn't know what was in it.
"Woh... okay hold on. Yuri, how do you know there's something in it, if you haven't even opened it to look inside?"
An actual frown crossed the women's lips at Yuri claiming that it held a Legendary.
"You do know that just becasue Dove has a Masterball with a Mew in it, doesn't mean that they all do. In fact before now, before Kodo, owning a Legendary was reserved for stories passed around among trainers. It was unheard of."
The tall women crossed her arms, arching her eyebrow at Yuri, not thinking he was the kind of person to just say that kind of thing without having a legitimate suspicion, leaving her more reason to worry, for more than one reason. "Do you have a reason to think its got a Legendary in it?"  

[BlackPidgeot]

"Wait... Seriously?" He knew that the League didn't like people training if they weren't registered but having a ball was against the rules too? That was messed up and meant Astal and Link were technically illegal too. Oh well.

Yuri then folded his arms as he considered Rays words.

"The ball was with some pretty shady characters, so I figured there had to be something important in it. But that was before I knew the ball itself was special. The only other one I saw was Dove's so I just put two and two together."

So in other words he really had no idea and was just going on a hunch.  

[Gwennythe]

Fluffster skittered back, yipped, and did a strange shuffle-walk forward, curiously, as the tall woman kneeled.
She seemed to take on a puzzled frown for a moment, then yipped one more time.

Henrietta added another few marshmallows to their dinner.
She was wide-eyed, looking from Ray, to Yuri, to Dove.
"Oh man! Mystery pokémon?! You totally gotta open it!" Even if there wasn't a pokémon inside, it was a pretty cool ball- not blue and yellow, but a pretty awesome colour anyway.
And, besides the excitement of Yuri's possible-pokémon-that-might-be-a-legendary, Hen' remembered to regard Dove curiously for a bit longer than the others.
"You have a Mew?! That's awesome! How come it's never out?!" The 'Ditto' connection didn't even cross her mind for the moment.
Talk of legality and illegality was mostly ignored by the girl- pokéballs went to trainers; that was what she knew, and she knew she had to register to be a trainer, but it didn't seem like the League would be totally harsh to anyone (her mindset a little naive and simplistic on the issue) who treated their pokémon with respect, registered or not.  

[Blood_Goddess]

"Yyyup, of course they are. You don't even know that? Geeze, that Grand Ile really needs to get with it."
Ray let out a breath of air, that threw a few locks of her bangs up out of her eyes.

Listening to Yuri's reasoning the women remained standing, crossing her arms and still waiting that slight frown thoughtful frown on her lips "Well, Master balls are nothing to sneeze at, there are not a whole lot made in the world and they're worth a toooon of money, the trade of empty Master balls has been a serious problem."
With a gesture of her hand toward Yuri the women spoke "But hey! you heard her, you won't know if there is anything in there or not if you don't open it."  

[Tori Honoo]

Defenses high, Dove refused to take Ray's 'know-it-all correction' as a friendly tease, and instead shook her head, gasping a little as she realized what Henrietta was adding to their meal. Quietly trying to preserve what she could, she stowed the marshmallows away beside her, hoping to gently put them out of reach for now as she listened to the conversation, freezing at Yuri's mention of Trill.

Shoot.

Jace's pichu had quickly waved and approached Breezychu, pleased to make acquaintance with another electric type and offered a loud and chipper 'chuuuu!'

The young male trainer, however, now sat in silence, staring at the ball in Yuri's hand and listening to the talk that came with it's appearance, his eyes widened as far as they could go and his jaw slackened. Setting Lovey aside and rising to his feet, he jumped up and down next to Yuri, his eyes trapped on the ball. "What, no way!!!! That's SO COOL-- you just found it laying there?!? Where did you get it?! That's so awesome-- That's so cool!!!!!!!!"

At Henrietta's question, Dove turned to look at the girl, moving the food from the fire so it wouldn't stick and burn as she fought for words. She had been keeping it a secret for a reason, hoping that Henrietta wouldn't get caught up in the mess behind it's creation, were their suspicions correct. With an apologetic look, she nodded, then pointed to the masterball on her belt. "That pokemon that I keep in there... It's not exactly a ditto." She had never said it was, though... she had never clarified that it wasn't.

Jace's young voice called out over the rest--or attempted to at least. "Yuri, you gotta open it! What if there's a Lugia in there?! Or Palika!?"

Dove turned her eyes back to the young boy, apprehension clear in her expression. Though she, too, was curious about the ball's contents, she wasn't sure releasing the pokemon inside-- if there was one-- was best here at their campsite... If it did, indeed, contain a pokemon of legend, there was no telling what it's disposition would be. "Maybe not... right here..."  

[BlackPidgeot]

Whoops, he did let the cat out of the bag didn't he. Though he saw no problem with the kids knowing about it anyway. Plus he still didn't get the whole stigma. Sure he got what Ray said about them being rare and stuff but they were still just Pokemon right.

At the suggestion and insistence to see what was in the ball, Yuri heaved a dramatic sigh. "All right, all right," he conceded, though paused at Dove's reluctance.

"Why not? Better out here than in the city right?"  

[Tori Honoo]

The woman looked on toward the man, her expression serious, but somehow softer. "It could be anything, Yuri..." Or nothing, but with the kids around, she didn't want to take the chance.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Ray listened to the short back and forth before she leaned forward and helped make the decision "Go ahead and open it up. There isn't anything to be scared of, firstly, If there is even anything in it at all, its going to be a pokemon, and as pokemon trainers Its kinda our job to work along side all kids of pokemon. You can always recall it, what kind of trainers would we be if we get concerned over letting a pokemon out of its ball."  

[Gwennythe]

Henrietta didn't seem to register that the spaghetti had been moved away; her eyes moved down to the ball that Dove indicated and, for a moment, she just looked puzzled, before a look of recognition crossed her face.

"Ooh! Your Ditto's a Mew!?" She looked absolutely delighted. "I've met a MEW!"
The girl then looked between the adults again, and then from Masterball to Masterball.
"Oooh! Can we get them both out? Can we? Please?!" Legendaries were exciting and she agreed with Jace- it could be anything; a Palkia... a Lugia... who knew? There /definitely/ was a Mew, though.  

[Tori Honoo]

Dove sighed in frustration, turning back to the food. There was lite chance in trying to reason with the woman, and with her there, Dove knew she would have no word.

Henrietta, again, drew her attention, and she offered a slightly relieved, but vwry stressed smile before she reached to her belt for her own master ball.  

[BlackPidgeot]

Yuri definitely agreed with Ray but it was easy to see Dove's frustration.

"Hey, don't worry about it," he told her, though he doubted his word would help much.

Regardless, Yuri took a few steps away just. He had no idea what a Lugia or a Palkia were though.

In the next moment, the man triggered the release on the ball. Sure enough a blast of energy shot from the ball. The Pokemon quickly taking form.

It got larger and larger, Yuri's dark eyes tilting upward. A pair of wings then suddenly spread out and a loud shriek erupted from what was obviously a very big bird. The campfire suddenly flared, causing Astal to yelp in surprise and jump back. It's body shape unmistakably a Ho-oh but it's feathers were a mix of black, beige, reds, oranges, and yellows. The Pokemon the. Looking down and training it's fierce grey and white eyes on the humans.

Yuri stared up at the Pokemon with wide eyes, then deadpanned. "That's a big boy."  

[Tori Honoo]

The moment the fire flared, Dove gasped and fell back, putting up an arm to avoid the spray of spark and flame, her own masterball still in hand. Thierry reared, letting out a surprised cry.

Jace watched, all his attention on the flash of light--though he did jump at the flare as well-- and the Pokemon that appeared, his eyes huge. "Whoa, that's a HO-OH!!!!" Legends of Ho-oh had begun and spread throughout Johto, and he had been raised with every tale. "Yuri, you got a Ho-oh!"

Dove stared at the massive bird, her eyes just as wide. Lovey stood frozen in place, just beside Jace and Rona darted back to her boy, hiding behind his leg and peering cautiously out. Aurora let out a soft growl of warning.  

[Blood_Goddess]

As the ball opened, Ray's visible eye widened lightly with a soft hum when it turned out that there was in fact a pokemon in the ball.
Though as the Pokemon pulled into its full height, a massive dark bird towering over the group, its cry trembling the air.
BreezyChu hopped up onto his trainers shoulder as the women stood with her arms crossed, watching the even unflinchingly, though with a growing frown of genuine concern of her face

Another Legendary, another Legendary in the wrong colors.
she said it before, but this was not helping in proving her wrong.
There was something bad going on on this Island, and it was involving these Legendary.

Unfolding her arms the tall women took a step forward toward the large Legendary.
"Hello there, Can you talk?" She spoke up to it in a raise voice, so it could hear.

Double Stripe glanced around when he heard a soft growl from a pokemon, his green eyes rolling lightly he hissed sarcastically  

[BlackPidgeot]

The Ho-oh looked at Ray silently with narrowed eyes, then looked around at the other humans it had found itself among. Eyes landing in the man with the long hair that held the ball. The giant bird hissing deeply.

Yuri blinked and glanced over at Jace. "A Hoho... Isn't that a dessert?"

Link stood and looked on silently with respect to the legendary, as did Repede. Astal however, sneezed at the bird.

""

The Ho-oh turned it's head quickly to glare sharply at the Eevee. Lifting one taloned foot, the bird brought it down mere inches from Astal. The Eevee jumping back quickly with a snarl, tail up, and fur standing on end.

" "  

[Gwennythe]

Like Jace, Henrietta had lived her life in Johto, and Ho-oh was a familiar Legendary to her, at least in stories anyway. She looked at the huge bird with wide eyes, but unlike Jace, she couldn't quite get out the words to say anything about it.

She mumbled something incomprehensible.

A baby, Fluffster didn't know about legends yet either; she scooted behind Ray, peeked around and growled at the giant bird too, then decided she'd rather be near her trainer and did a quick shuffle run in that direction.

Gummy turned his head, blinked at one of the wings of the Ho-oh, then returned to his original position again, expression unchanged.
