"I myself travel some, yes. But it was mainly in order to get the pokemons that I searched for. Right now, I just feel like settle somewhere for a while and train for the upcoming tournament. Me and Cubone here will do our best to win it" He said and scratched the Cubone under his chin with one of his fingers. The Cubone tilted his head up in the skies, placing both hands behind his head and closed his eyes, sighing out of enjoyment and welcoming the scratching "Cuuuh"
He could see a restaurant by the water and pretty quickly figured that it was the place that this Cherry had been speaking of. "Will you two be participating in the tournament that is held soon?" He asked with a smile on his face and looked back at the two. The Cubone jumped down from his shoulder when hearing about the tournament. Proudly, he walked in front of David, holding his bone over the shoulder as if he was carrying a polearm. He walked with his nose up high and a serious look on his face. David looked down at the pokemon, remebering that they had not fought anything for some time now. Hopefully he was still in shape enough to fight a tournament.
David laughed when he looked at the pokemon in front of him. It felt like David had his own personal bodyguard. Too bad the bodyguard had the size of a large shoe. He started thinking of what would happen when the pokemon finaly evolved. Would it be the same cheerful Cubone that he knew, but inside an evolved body, or would the Cubone become a serious fighting machine? "I hope not"
Cherry tilted her head toward David as he spoke, half focusing on the bright moon overhead. She nodded slightly, aknowledging his answer, a slight smile creeping over her face. For just a moment she diverted her attention to the Cubone, who was blissfully leaning back to allow more acess for David's hand. She couldn't help but smile. those two were too cute together. She pushed her hair back gingerly then smiled kindly.
" Well im glad you will be training around here. It will be nice to have someone stay for a while, rather then come and go so quickly. "
As Miloe saw the Cubone walk proudly before David she rolled her eyes smugly to one side and shook her head, gracefully slinking forward. Cherry petted the ninetails and looked toward the resteraunt where they were headed. Miloe, in the mean time, stepped up her pace so that she was walking a few paces ahead of the Cubone. Cherry smiled and rolled her eyes a bit, then turned at David's next question, shaking her head slightly.
" No. Miloe and I have a job there, we can't rewally compete in it. "
She looked down at Miloe, who had sunk back to her spot beside the three, deciding to cut the prideful act she had put on. She knew she would not be competing, and, wiht that took her place on the other side of Cherry, as not to disturb the Cubone any further. He might wind up as her patient, in which case she knew she couldn't have any negative feelings toward her. Sighing, Miloe lowered her head and trotted slowly beside Cherry. Her paws touched the ground lightly and sliently, when her head suddenly pricked upward. She smelled another pokémon not to far off. Shaking it off she turned and caught up with the others.
Cherry looked back at her, and she forced a smile, but still seemed weary. Cherry turned back to Johnson then.
" A Togepi? Really? How cute! Id love to meet it! "
Miloe turned abruptly then. Most knew that, though vain, Ninetails were very caring toward young children and pokémon. ( Vulpix especially. )
" Kyu? "
Miloe's somewhat sad demeanor did a complete 360 as she bounded along happily prancing beside them.
Remy approached the trainers without a greeting. He just barged in without saying a word. Somehow he felt curious about what was going on between the trainers. A guy steeped out from the crowd and stared at remy.
"Lookin for a battle, boy?"
Remy looks up at him"Yeah. You gotta probelm with it?"
"Im going to teach you how to respect your elders!"
For sakes the guy was in his 30's. The trainer pulled out a Gallade.Remy pulls out his Cranidos.
Cranidos and Gallade face each other. Time to Rumble!!
Jim watched the precedings between Remy and the middle-aged man with passive interest. Samantha and Pauline were uninterested, sleeping and grazing respectively. Zak, however, grinned at the battle about to commence.
Jim glanced worriedly at the Zangoose. He know battle made the Pokemon's blood run hot. Jim made no mistake about it; Zak was a creatue of violence.
Remy had Cranidos in front of him ready to rumble with Gallade.Remy wanted to call the first attack before the other guy wanted to begin the attack before he did. He figured that his cranidos would be screwed cuz it was only in the first stage of evolution.
"Okay Cranidos use Headbutt!"
Cranidos charged at Gallade in a fierce attitude.
*Bam*
Cranidos hits his enemy in the chest but it didn't do much dammage.
"Okay Gallade use CONFUSION!"
With Gallade confusion power it lifted cranidos and slammed him on the ground with huge force.
Cranidos is screwed. What is there to do know? Will Cranidos get up from that injury?
David arrived to the spoken restaurant, where he directly chose a table on the outside. He prefered being outside, in the fresh air when he ate, and hopefully did the others not mind eating outside either. As Cherry and Johnson arrived, David kindly pulled the chair out for her, hoping he was not making an entire fool out of himself now. She was a most charming girl, and he would love to get to know her better. Johnson too, as the more the merrier he said and smiled at the two when they came.
Cubone had a look at his master, who pulled the chair out. Confusing it was for certain, but maybe that was something nice to do. Cubone got a smile on his face and sat down on the ground, starting to dust a specific area next to the table. He removed small stones, dust and grass at the location. When Cherry and Johnson came, Cubone kindly waved at Miloe and patted at the location that he had dusted of.
As Cherry approached she smiled, flattered, and thanked David happily as she sat. How kind of him! She was happy that this trainer had come across her city, and she knew she would miss him when he left. She laughed softly to herself a bit embaressed then, and tossed her golden blonde hair back. It matched Miloe's in the moon's pale light. She turned to Johnson then. She truly hoped he would stay around for a little while as well. It was wonderful to actually have someone around to talk to, and she knew they would both stay in the area to train for the upcomming tournament. It was quite an event among traubers, and many commuted from far and near to come, often arriving as early as these two to see the competition.
Miloe, who had been following closely behind Cherry stopped suddenly as she noticed the Cubone, ready to turn and sit opposite him, but she noticed then what he was doing. She cocked her head for a moment, and took a small step closer, a little weary of the bone the Cubone heald so tightly. She sniffed the area he had cleared, then looked up at him curiously.
" Kyuu? "
Cherry then turned away from the two trainers, placing her folded hands daintily on her lap, and looked longingly over the balcony at the beautiful lake beside them. She knew that , farther out, it led to the ocean. A smile crossed her face thinking about it. She just loved the beach. When she looked back at the two boys behind her, whe wondered what living conditions they were in.
" So..where are you guys staying? "
"I have no idea," Johnson said. "I just go where ever the wind takes me. I'm sort of a free-spirit. Where are you guys staying. I could use some company on my trip and I think my Pokemon wouldn't some extra friends, either."
He tossed his six Poke balls and out came his Pokemon.
"Vuuullpix," his Vulpix exclaimed.
"Muku," Mukubird cawed.
"Surskit," Surskit sighed.
"Ji, jinx," Jinx danced.
Shinx let out a whine and Grotle just smiled.
"How would all of you feel if you made some new friends," Johnson asked them. They all made a pleased noise and Johnson looked at his to new friends, "Well what do you say? Are you two going to be my new companions after we all eat?"
"I'm not sure how it will turn out for me. I will probably stick around till the tournament starts, doing some training, and maybe even get the chance to evolve some of my younger pokemons, into their stronger form. I have a couple of them that I would like in a stronger version" He said with a smile and looked at Cherry.
David observed as all the pokemons of Johnson was released. It was an impressive collection indeed. Far more impressive than his own, but he did not mind that. His collection was perfect in it's own little way. Johnson's pokemons might have been more rare than David's, but David did not mind. Sometimes the power was right under ones nose. With the speciality that David focused on in pokemon combat, he would probably have the benefitials of most trainers here in the city.
He turned and waved to a waiter, who nodded approvingly. He was just finishing another order and was heading their way. David arranged a chair for Johnson to sit down at, before taking a seat himself. "Your collection of pokemons are most impressive, Johnson" He said and nodded. He turned to look at Cubone, but had no idea what the little pokemon was up too.
Cubone smiled and sat down next to the location on the ground that he had prepared. He held his bone tight, but patted with his free hand on the ground in front of him, which he had prepared for the ninetails. He dusted away a few small stones, and the area was now shining clean from dirt and stone.
David looked back up at Johnson with a smile on his face "I'm sorry, but if you plan on a longer journey, then you might have to do without me, at least for the time being. It was a long time since I was around Viridian City, and I would like to check this area out before heading out into the wild again. You could stay here, though. Unless you have elsewhere to be"
He turned to Cherry again, replying her with a smile "I'll probably sleep under the moon. I always do, and it is quite relaxing"
In forest, Jimothy slept. On his chest, Samantha the Seviper slept, curled in a circle. To his left, Pauline the Rapidash slept standing up as her kind did.
A kilometer away, Zak did not sleep. Zak slept little, in fact. Instead, he battled. When he was wild, before the rice haired boy confined him in that dreaded sphere, before he was given the name Zak and was only recognized by his smell and the markings on his fur, he was a scurge. He beat all Pokemon he came across.
Why? Because he only felt he was alive when he knew he could make them feel dead. Of course, he never killed his victims, as their would be hell to pay if he did that. The death of a little Pidgy will arouse a flock of Pidgies, Pidgeottos, and Pidgeots to kill him, and while Zak could and would deal death to many, not even he could fight off that many blood lusted bird or any other large group of Pokemon. Even killing a Pokemon of a solitary breed meant one of it kind would find out eventually, and solitary Pokemon tended to be powerful.
No, but Zak did beat them to within an inch of their life. Jim knew of his Zangoose's excursions and did nothing to stop him. He felt the matters of Pokemon were not his bussiness until humans were involved and left it to Pokemon.
Zak stood above a defeated Seviper, a large male to be exact. Like most Zangoose, Zak held a particular animosity over Seviper, although his was lessened by his animosity towards everything else.
"Ssssssevipar!"
Zak looked behind himself to notice a grouping of four other Seviper. Smirking, he turned around and issued his challenge.
"ZAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!"
He was going to enjoy this.
Catcat exited the pokemon center with her new pokemon ball at hand. She observed the environment for activities, but unfortunatly there was none to be found. Instead, she walked up to the poster about the pokemon tournament. It would be an amazing run, especially with the challange that waited. If she now only could get her own pokemons to obey her. They were powerful, but disobeyant. Every warrior comes with a flaw, and her warriors were loaded with flaws.
She putted her feline outfit back on and walked down the streets, following the pack of pokemon trainers that had wandered of. She could at least observe her upcoming opposition to be aware of what might be a challange and what she needs to train more at.
