[PRP]Do two Amauras make a herd? [Aulus&Lex] [Finished]

[Shaddaling]

Lex glanced around and nodded. "This spot looks at good as any other." He removed Strongarms' pokeball from his belt and with an afterthought fished out his Crobat's and let her out first.

"Hey, Howl. We're going to have a race, so do you mind being the marker?" He questioned, reaching out to scratch behind her ears, smiling as she pushed up and tipped to get him to scratch along the base. "Probably mmhm a half mile out for now?" He glanced at Aulus. "Too short or too long for the Amauras?"

<> She murmured looking at Howlback and snorted. <>


Howlback shifted, eyes opening from their blissful expression to give Slipstream the stink eye before pushing back into the hand for more scratches.  

[TawnyAngel]

"Hu," Aulus shrugged, "never really done a run that length with her before so I guess we'll find out. If it's too far for them they can stop but I think half a mile should be fine, might just take them a little while on those tiny legs."

<> Thanatos looked confused. <> From the look the crobat gave Slip perhaps he didn't think much of it either though.

Aulus raised an eyebrow at the conversation; the look Howlback gave Slipstream made him wonder what was going on, should have brought a fighting type. "Alright then," he released Borealis from her pokeball and nodded at her, "You're here for your promised race slash meet up with Strongarm, kay?"

Borealis nodded enthusiastically and turned to look at Lex expectantly.  

[Shaddaling]

"Slip, you really don't have to be an instigator," Lex nodded as Howlback arched and took off, giving the Sneasel a gentle clipped to the large ear with a back claw.

<> She drawled and flicked her ear. <>

Lex shook his head and nodded at Borealis and released Strongarm.

Strongarm blinked, taking in her surrounding before giving a gleeful <> and bounded over to Borealis, excitement clear in the lines of her body.<>  

[TawnyAngel]

<> Borealis made a happy little rumble and trotted over to the other Amaura. <>

<> Thanatos asked, turning to Lex as he knew the grunt understood dark types.

Aulus raised an eyebrow. "There's one in every team hu? At least one." Discord, Puck, Killer in some circumstances....  

[Shaddaling]

"Probably at least one, and that would be a good idea, thank you Thanatos," Lex looked out and back. "Is Howl in position?"

Slipstream nodded, digging her claws into the soil. <>

"One moment, everyone line up behind the line," Lex called using his boot to scratch a shallow line in the path. "And on the count of three you go."

<> Slip questioned, bounding over.

<> Strongarm admitted, and shifted her head, before huffing. <> She trotted over, large eyes up on her trainer.  

[TawnyAngel]

<> Thanatos confirmed enthusiastically, doing a few more stretches as he waited for the signal to begin.

<> Borealis said, adding a quick nod because she knew neither human could understand her speech.

Aulus, fresh out of smalltalk for the time being, made no comment but he did nod encouragement at his pair of pokemon.  

[Shaddaling]

"Alright then!" Lex stepped off the path, using a tree as support as he get his feet under him. "Okay, One, Two, and Three! Go." He called.

Slip crowed in glee and launched herself forward, kicking up dirt.

Strongarm happily started forward, chubby short legs pumping.  

[TawnyAngel]

Borealis lumbered off after Stronarm, while Thanatos launched himself ahead of the two of them in pursuit of Slipstream.

Aulus watched the quartet of pokemon go for a few moments before giving a satisfied humph and setting off after them at a jog; seen as he was here he might as well get some exercise himself. "Come on then Lex, try to keep up!"  

[Shaddaling]

Whatt... ugh. Lex sighed and started to trot after Aulus and the pokemon quartet. Well, exercise was exercise and he did need to get his wind worked up to where it once was. ...

After this he was taking a nap.
