This is War(privet rp)

[Dragon Gal]

He noticed; he always did. He knew she hated it when people saw. But today... today, she needed to cry. They all did. The rain had gotten a little heavier, just enough to mask the tears on her cheeks if Mariah dared to let them out.
"Mariah... it's... okay," he said quietly, stepping next to her. "Just... let them go. You can cry. He'd want you to cry. Remember how he was always trying to get you to show something? Please, just cry."
If she cried, he'd believe she was okay. Or at least, on the way to being okay. But staying so cold and distant... he couldn't tell if she was coping, or on the brink of destruction. He wondered if she could tell.
He sighed as he looked out over the water. "The decorations are beautiful. You went cranes as well..." They weren't traditional funeral icons, were they?

The Misdreavous glanced down at the calmly watching Ninetales, trusting it to sight any intruders. Still, it had remained quiet when it had seen them. "Kitsune, will you speak if you see something approaching?"
She trusted the Ninetales to be a good guard, but she could not risk the safety of her Trainer, or their team.

"Mmm, I thought so," the pickpocket answered, rising from his position cross-legged on a bed. He noticed the Rogue girl watching curiously and nodded to her. "Well, I don't plan on making enemies here. I'll pass on the Houndoom's. He tried to control his pace as he walked towards the door. Still, he wanted to get out of here. He had to find the others!

[Whistle.Concert]

"I'm not crying until he's under the water." She responded, as cold and as distant as ever. She looked out over the water again, watching the small waves lap against the shoreline. He would want her to show emotion...But emotion was weakness, and there was no room for weakness when it came to team Aqua. Only the strong survived, and the strong were those that compressed their emotions, hiding them away in the smallest, darkest corners of their hearts.
"..I-It's nearly time.."
She swallowed hard, aware of the urge to sob rising in her throat. But she would not let her emotions beat her. She would not let Jon's death beat her...
Though part of her was aware it already had...
"A-After this..We'll be expected to just m-move on..."

~
The Ninetales nodded, looking up at the ghostly Pokemon. "I will say something if I see something, but you will probably see it before I do. You are in the air, after all."
He went back to staring into nothing, as if still hoping beyond hope that he would see his trainer.

Leon followed after him, nearly dropping Hurry's ball as he tripped. He managed to catch it, before running a bit so he could get ahead. He had to look like he was leading the rouge around the base, at the very least.

The pickpocket smiled, having heard Leon's stumble behind him. "You alright?"

The Misdreavous nodded. "That is probably true, but I will focus my main attentions on the directions you cannot see, and only occasionally sweep your direction, in case of aerial attack." That seemed fair.

He sighed, knowing she wouldn't let herself cry, even then. He wasn't big on emotional outbursts either, but it looked like he would be the most emotional of the two. As usual. And why not? I lost a best friend, too. He could already feel his eyes prickling as tears began to form.
He blinked them away as Mariah spoke, nodding. It was nearly time for them to watch Jon's corpse burn, then be swallowed forever by the waters. He gritted his teeth and tried to swallow the tears, but he knew he couldn't last. It would only be a few moments now, and he would break, as some of the other grunts surrounding them had done.
He turned on her. "No! They can't expect us to forget; to pretend that it doesn't matter! They're wrong! It matters! Jon's death has affected all of us. Look," he said, indicating the large crowd with a hand. "Look how many people are here! No one expects all of us to move on instantly!"
Except that they did. He knew for a fact that Cosmo and many of the other Aqua members would expect exactly that. But I'm not doing it... He wouldn't be able to cope here for long.
That settles it, then. I'm leaving. And I'm taking as many people that want to come with me as I can. Except Mariah. She was coming, whether she liked it or not. She would get a chance to grieve properly, whether she liked it or not.
The decision calmed him a little, and he looked towards the wooden barge with new strength, waiting to watch the flames through the tears still caught in his eyes.

A Rogue, sitting on the cliff overlooking the Aqua base, was watching the proceedings with a mixure of curiousity and surprise. It was a funeral going on, with what looked like at least a quater of the Aqua members attending. All of the stories he'd heard... They do care about each other...
He'd been throwing a Pokeball up and down since sitting here, but now caught it and glanced at it for a few seconds, as if using it to make a final decision. The answer came with a solitary nod, and the Rogue rose, leaving the cliff ledge to make his way down to meet the Aqua's.

Piper sighed as Crowena Jared off flying close to the ground and sfast,though not flying out of sight of her trainer.She sqwarked as she spotted something,though.her eye sight wasn't the best compared.to other pokemon,she was a bat like pokemon after all.

Piper frowned spotting it as well before starting to look for spring's ball,she knew aromarpharpy,maybe.she could.help whoever was hurt.

(she two far to see they are sleeping she just see two slumped shapes and two,ones watching.them)

Scorp sighed laying at the back of the cave the group was in, in a mope. Her only friend was dead, and everyone else hated her.

[Whistle.Concert]

The Ninetales started waving his tails, a clear warning to the misdreavus. "I see a human..They're letting out a deerling..."
The fox like Pokemon licked his lips..Deerling's were pretty good eating, and everyone was pretty hungry here. But he would refrain, it was owned by somebody.
"...Should we wake them up?"

~
Leon nodded. "Y-yeah! I'm fine! Just a bit clumsy, is all!"

~
Kody lay close to Candace, curled by her feet. The Grovyle was glaring at pretty much everyone else. "We have to get back to the base some time, you know. Otherwise they're going to find us."

[Saphira344]

(is nature power a good move? Spring just learned it, i replaced fanit attack with it. though shes fully evolved in game XD)
Silver was checking doves wing constantly glareing at Scorp, who just sighed"iam not leaveing till the sandile wakes up and it turns out he's-"he was cut off by a howl from a matrstrike from outside the cave.

Scorps head rose like lighting, her horns hitting the cealing of the cave with a screach.


Piper smiled bending to pick up spring who jumped up into her arms, before returning to following Crowena.

[Whistle.Concert]

Kody was on his feet in an instant, lips curled back in a snarl. The Grovyle was at the ready, leaves held out to protect him and his trainer.

[Saphira344]

Scorp growled heading for the exit and giveing kody a look"this ones mine, i just hope its the female iam looking for"she growled.

[Whistle.Concert]

Kody snorted. "It comes anywhere near Candace and I make mince meat out of it, you got that?"

[Saphira344]

Scorp looked at him with a narrowed eye"A female matrstirike killed my unhatched eggs, it fried them only days from when they would hatch, becuse i was heping someone who had fallen into my den by finding there pokemon"she informed"i wont let her get near this cave or away".
