Future Gym Leaders, Let's Go! Pokemon RP - Semi-lit

[Wildmagic_warrior]

Collin Oliver Cross.

Skittles hummed louder when Alexandra held out her hand, but the Skitty was incapable of climbing down the way she had come up. Remembering this, Collin lifted the pink Pokemon from his shoulder and set her on the floor. Skittles practically threw herself at Alexandra's outstretched hand, not even taking the time to check whether it was outstretched in a friendly manner or a threatening one. She hummed and wiggled, sitting back on her hind paws and twitching her whiskers at the tall girl.

"I almost didn't recognize you," Collin said to her with a smile. "You've gotten... taller. A lot taller." The girl he pictured in his mind was shorter than him, with baby-fat cheeks and dark brown hair. It was layered now, and dyed blue at the bottom-most layer. "What do you go by now? When we were little we called you Alex, but..." He paused, then said, "Sorry. I didn't mean to get nostalgic."

[{{ f i a s c o }}]

God-damn you, Houndoor! Why are you such the sociable one?

Alex muttered obscene things under his breath about early wakings and long treks and escapist pokémon as he arrived to his playfull pooch's havoc site, and his face half-drained in colour and half-reddened as he saw that he had already begun to thrust people around and give them wet, sloppy welcoming's.

"Houndour!" Alex barked. The dark-fire type cocked an ear, and, slowly turned his head, not a shred of remorse on his happy, puppy-eyed face. Slowly, he padded off the trainer he had bamboozled and jumped happily to Alex side. Meanwhile, the trainer tried to suppress becoming angry, fuming silently for a couple of moments before giving Houndour a stern stare.

The poké seemed to recoil slightly, as if finally realizing that he had been guilty of a lesser crime, and Alex shook his head as to clear his thoughts lightly, giving the dark-fire type a reassuring pat on the head. Finally, after having calmed down ever so slightly, he raised his eyes to meet those of his fellow 'friend' trainers.

The faces he used to know were a haze in his mind, and even now he found it hard to recognize them, his brain making very vague comparisons with what they used to be. He hadn't been part of the mainstream group anyways; he hadn't trained under any Gym for the lack of Dark type leaders, and had, at most extremes times, tagged along on their mock-battles as they prepared to face the trainers that sprawled from one edge to another of the poké world. Sure, he had maintained good relations with most - in Alex's particular, strange and silent way - but people change. Alex was the living example of drastic measures and life's hard decisions.

Surpressing a sigh, and as to avoid any fatalities, Alex deftly encased Houndour in his ball, and let out Absol subsequently. "So. How's it been?" he asked, stiffly, adding a weak smile to the end.

Sunny

Sunny gave a blink as Houndoor detached from her, returning back to Alex to be scolded with a single look. sunny cocked her eyebrow as she got back up, turning to her old friend.

"Alex, bro, chill. Houndoor was just doing what he does, no harm no foul." But it seemed her intervention was too late, as Houndoor was switched out for Absol. sunny just gave a sigh, but moved past it to answer Alex.

"It's been good, doing this, doing that, a bit here and bit there. Just going with the flow like usual." She remarked a bit wistfully, not really commenting on what she had been doing or how she had been. She'd rather her friends not know she got chased out of her gym for being a slack hippy. Sunny gave a blink and Alexandra pulled her attention as she flashed her Poketch around. Sunny reached into the pouch within her jacket, tugging out her more modern xtranceiver.

"Different country, different gear." She quipped with a crooked smile. She took a few seconds to look around at everyone, seeing all of their Pokemon out she gave a soft 'heh,' the only one with her Pokemon still safely secured in their balls. 'No need to spook any of them just yet.' She thought to herself. Her Pokemon were a bit more intimidating and creepy, unlike Collin's adorable Skitty or Aura's pretty Vulpix. Her Pokemon were rather large in comparison and she didn't want any of the other Pokemon trod underfoot. That was not a good way to start an adventure.

"So, who are we waiting for?" She asked in a raised voice, hoping to gain the groups collective attention.

Aura
I looked up and sighed. "I have no idea." I say weakly, trying to stay in the converstaion. Why is my Pokemon braver than me? I shake my head weakly as I look up at my friends. These are my only family. I grin lightly, something I almost never did. "We can go to the dock and battle. We've always dreamed of that." I suggest, Vulpix walking around and greeting everyone. I continue to think, my mind racing. My only family, a bunch of people I just met in person for the first time in my life. I feel sweaty and scared. Why did I have to agree to this. I have plenty of friends..Okay, So I don't. Doesn't mean I have to go meet people and get out of bed. I have important things to do. Mostly studying. I facepalm lightly. I'm such a moron.

[eden .]

[ lol, Alexandra's aren't out. XD ]
[ her Pokemon that is. ]
[ not a big deal, though. I was just somewhat amused. I was like HA. I SO SNEAKY ]

Alexandra

Alexandra chuckled before saying, "Yeah, a few years tends to do that to you." Alexandra frowned at Collin before saying, "Eh, I don't know. People called me Alex in Sinnoh, but there's Alex here--you know the guy Alexander. So, unless you can think of something, I guess I'll just go by Alexandara"

Looking up as a pair of Dark Pokemon approached, she smiled as her two friends engaged in polite conversation before she grinned at Sunny's equipment.

"Haha, cool. Wait, did your number thing change? Tell it to me--ee--ee" Alexandra begged, approaching her friend. "And I guess we're not waiting for anything! Who's still missing?" Honestly Alexandra didn't know how many of her friends were showing up. Sunny, as far as Alexandra knew, organized most of this.

"A battle?" Alexandra asked, perking. "Sounds fun...but will we have time? If we do, I'd love to. I'm itching to show off my team." Alexandra lovingly patted her pokeballs on her hip.

Kierstyn

A smile lit the young trainer's face as she watched her Luxray walk silently beside her. Dawn had just broken through the horizon- a truly beautiful sight. Her current companion watched the colors light up the sky. Kierstyn followed his gaze, finding the slope she was walking at suddenly changing. A hill? Wasn't this where they were supposed to meet?

Now that she was meeting people Kierstyn pulled out a great talker of hers- Ampharos. The male Pokémon was always smiling and brought his company a laugh. She rounded the hill with him- Luxray already returned to his pokéball. Kierstyn smiled at her friends, mimicking her companion. The two seemed rather perfect for eachother. Both had a lot of color in their appearance, had two black rings on each of their ears, and were about the same weight.

Everything had changed so much, yet everything had stayed the same. In order to gain attention, Ampharos sent a shockwave through his body, illuminating the area for a few seconds in bright yellow light. Kierstyn laughed and touched her Pokémon's back gently- the rubber gloves resisting the current. She gently stroked from the tip of his neck down, hoping to calm the almost five foot tall Pokémon. If she couldn't do so then he would probably end up shocking the majority of the beings within a ten foot radius of him- which included almost everybody.

Kierstyn shook her head with a smile. She watched as everyone pulled out technology. Hers had plummeted into the ocean on the way to the islands. "A battle would be fun. Who isn't here? Has Serenity showed up yet?" Her voice asked. The girl had a set of headphones with her, one in her ear, one hanging down from the center of her black shirt with paint splatters.

Her eyes drifted from person to person, taking in how much everyone had changed. A true smile had lit up her face- rare but expected in a situation like this. Her Ampharos had settled down and was sending little bolts off of his tail in joy. Seeing everyone together hear was amazing. Kierstyn just couldn't wait to go back to her uncle's house on the main island. He had a pair of Minon and Plusle that had always amused the girl.

Walking down the little path, she was excitedly chattering to Banette, whom had come out of his pokeball. He just blinked incoherently and continued to let her talk. He, instead, had been running around in front and behind her in a way to amuse himself. Who knows if it was working. She continued to chatter aimlessly about new stories she had written or read and Banette soon got bored of running as well. He looked up at her while she talked and sighed once as well. He said promptly, "Ban baa bann et et et net net!" He swung his arms around in a flurry and began to run somewhere. Serenity, going off track, followed him.

A couple of minutes later, she came out with twigs in her hair, and a laughing Banette in her arms, though he was heavy. She poked him with the pokeball and a red light surrounded his laughing body, pulling him in. Sighing, she walked back onto the path she was originally walking on to get to where her friends all were. Kicking gravel, she was beginning to feel lonely. She knew she wouldn't be sending Banette out soon, especially with how he got lost a couple of minutes ago. Maybe, she stopped walking, I could send out Sablye, Duskull would just float without me... Chandelure maybe? Out of her thoughts, she had dropped one of the three pokeballs she was holding.
Pop
She looked at the pokeball on the ground, then to the silhouette of a pokemon of hers. It turned out to be Sablye. She blinked as Sablye called out a loud greeting, then replied with "Hello, Sablye? How are you?" He grinned in response and began swaying and walking on the path. She laughed, taking it as an 'I'm great!' and continued to walk behind him. They were finally almost there, going up a hill. She complained loudly with Sablye, "Ugh! This hill is so large! I'll die before I make it up!"
"Sabl, sab sab lys bly!"
"I know buddy, I'll miss you!"
"Sabyl!"
Neither of the two had even noticed that they were up the hill already and were walking strait into the Pokemon Center wall.
"It was nice knowing you buddy! I can already feel my legs being crushed by the forces of nature! As of my face and everything else!" They paused there a couple of moments, feeling the 'Forces of Nature' crush them.

Cassie

Cassie smiled at all the commotion around her, of course she and Sunny shared the same thought process of why haven't they left yet. She let out a small sigh, surrounded by all the excitement, and although she was wide awake she still couldn't help cringe at the amount of energy surrounding her. It had been a long trip in for her and Empoleon, and she knew although he would battle, it wouldn't be easy for him.

"Why don't we try to get moving, then when we stop for lunch maybe we can battle but I think we're a bit behind schedule already to reach the island." She didn't want to rush her friends but she thoroughly believed it was about time to get moving. She also knew that Empoleon was tired so she took him back into the pokeball and since the majority of her other pokemon were slow on land she just went without a follower. Besides her friends here had only met Empoleon, and he was only second evolution when they had known him, the others she had acquired through her travels.

Looking from one friend to another she hoped they would understand. If they weren't waiting on anyone perhaps it was time to start the next chapter in all their books. Time to travel together again after many years apart. they all had a lot of stories to share, of that she was sure.

They finally reached island just as the colours of true dawn raced across the sky. The large red-orange Charizard was sweating by the time they finally met land after battling ocean wind currents for so long. Kale smiled at his friend and returned him so he could have a good long rest. Once he reached the meeting spot he would heal his Pokemon so they could get back to their normal states after working so hard.

Charizard's Pokeball soon disappeared with Kale's hand as he rested them in his pockets and began making his way towards the centre of the island. His heart fluttered happily sometimes when he recognized landmarks. Landmarks, places, and symbols that were all part of his childhood.

~ ~ ~

Kale soon emerged from the dense forest and was faced with a grassy hill. This side of the hill was so steep that is limited his view and he could only just see the top of the red Pokemon centre. His friends would be waiting there like they had arranged and Kale was interested to see how they all looked after years of only writing letters back and forth.

He was also wondering if any of them had really changed. Kale knew they'd be surprised to see his new self since he had gone from an energetic reckless kid to a competitive and cold-hearted young adult. His thoughts began to clear though as he made his way up the steep slope towards the Pokemon centre, hoping he wasn't too late and still had time to get the Nurse to look at his Pokemon.

Raiko had gone and gotten kind of shy since they had last met, and as thr group got bigger, his hood fell lower. Bei noticed this, and let out a long sigh. He fluttered around Raiko, and then flicked the hood off of the boy's head. The last time they had seen Raiko, it had been 6 years, and Bei was still small, The only pokemon he had.
"I've gotten stronger since our last meeting. And I have 3 new bugs to introduce" Murmured Raiko.
Bei looked to Amphros and flittered up to meet him.
