"Well…"

Rui exhaled in relief, because he reacted exactly the way she thought he would. What she hoped for, well, she didn’t know herself, but at least this meant he wouldn’t be running away this very day. “I could buy us ice cream, if you wanna.”

He Still Didn't Quite Understand What That Was About, He'd Assumed If She Wanted Him To Go Somewhere With Her That She'd Have Needed Something, But The Blond Was Never One To Turn Down Ice Cream.

"I Guess I Could Come Out Of Hiding For A Cone" It Had Been A While Since They'd Last Had Ice Cream Together, Not Since Orre In Fact.

Overnight Shipping || Shelly, Wes, & Rui

The quest for water continued in the dimming light of evening on the forested slope of the Rocket mountainside. Something about nighttime appealed to Shelly--maybe it was because of the dark-types on her team that she'd become so enamored with it--so she had made a point to slip out of the doors at sunset, catching the last rays of the sun to give her a lighted path in one direction, at least.

She'd kept telling herself she was done trying to make friends with her Sharpedo. She kept saying that, and yet here she was, listening for the sound of running water through the filter of wind-blowing and the occasional Pokemon cry. Shelly honestly wasn't sure if Darla was starting to grow on her or if she just missed Hoenn that much, but either way she was too proud to deal with the answer.

She was getting thirsty.

Surely, amongst all these trees there had to be some water. There were Pokemon flying around and skittering into trees, so it stood to reason that they had all found something somewhere to drink.

Shelly tossed her Pokeball in the air and caught it without looking.

The trickle of running water caught her ear and Shelly came to an abrupt stop, turning her head to try to source the sound. It seemed to be coming... from her left? Yes. Shelly walked off with certainty in that direction, finding herself rewarded with a decently-sized stream in just a few minutes.

"Whale... it's smaller than we used to, that's fo shore..." But Shelly released Darla directly into the water anyway, largely because she couldn't be bothered to go off and look for another water source when the sun was already almost down. The Sharpedo swam around in a small circle and then faced her trainer, hissing at her for giving her such a minuscule offering of a habitat. "It's gon' hafta work," Shelly snapped as she approached the stream herself. 

Lowering herself to a crouch, Shelly dipped her cupped hands into the water a safe distance from her rough-skinned partner. Finally, she had something to wash down her throat. And... well... Shelly could hardly call this a taste of Hoenn, but, like she said.. it'd have to work.

Shelly took her shoes off and stepped into the stream. The water barely came up to her knees--no wonder Darla was pissed. She was on her way to a sit when a yell caught the ears of the both of them. "Now what?" Didn't sound quite like anybody was in trouble, so Shelly wasn't about to go after them... but she was still peeved nonetheless. And here she thought she could have some peace and quiet...

Look Who's Stalking | Rui & Meowth

He Really Shouldn't Have Been Surprised, Most Of Meowth's Plans Seemed To Go Down This Road Sooner Or Later, Yet He Never Quite Felt Prepared For It.

It Was Just About The Simplest Plan He Knew Of; Dig A Pit Trap, Cover It With Leaves And Twigs And Such And Wait For Some Poor Dimwitted Pokemon To Step On It And Fall In. The Trio Had Been Using The Plan For Years - Granted It Was Very Rare That It Actually Worked And Even Rarer That It Actually Captured What They Were Looking For, But Meowth Remained Confident In His Scheme.

Having Painstakingly Dug A Nice Deep Hole And Disguised It Flawlessly With Foliage, The Cat Grinned To Himself Proudly And Began To Daydream About Whether He Would An Articuno Or A Salamance First. Unfortunately, The Feline Failed To Watch His Step As He Headed Towards The Nearest Group Of Bushes To Hide And Watch For His First Victim, And Soon Found Himself Playing The Role Of The Poor Dimwitted Pokemon At The Bottom Of The Hole.

After Getting Over The Initial Shame Of Falling Into A Pit Trap - One He Had Just Dug Himself, And Not For The First Time At That - The Normal Type Set About Trying To Escape. He Made A Few Attempts At Climbing The Sides Of The Hole With Accompanying Grunts Of Effort, But After Sliding Back Down To The Bottom Again For The Fifth Time The Pokemon Quickly Switched To Plan B.

"Hey! Is Dere Anybody Up Dere Dat Can Help A Pokeymon Out?"

Scientific Curiosity | Diane and Rui

The weather had, at last, begun to turn. While most people at the base seemed to consider it a blessing, Diane found herself wishing that maybe they would get one last snow before the white gave way to green and pink and blue.

Vulcan, for once, actually seemed to agree with her. While their daily walks had been fun during the winter, especially when there was snow to romp through, the warming days were starting to turn all that frozen powder into very cold, very wet water. Vulcan could not wait until THIS part of the season was over.

With that said, though, he still wanted his walks. He just kept to the drier paths than he had before.

Not that Diane minded. She was starting to get used to these outings, and the day was slightly overcast: no threat of rain or snow, but just cloudy enough to keep from blinding everyone as it reflected off the remaining snow cover.

Diane paused next to the Arcanine as they rounded one corner of the building. Apparently they weren't the only ones who had decided to take a walk in the changing weather: a young woman and her Pokemon idled on the path ahead. And on closer inspection...

"E-excuse me!" Diane called, hurrying forward a few steps. Vulcan fluffed out his fur in an attempt to look impressive, strutting a step behind the Scientist. "I-I don't mean to be a bother, but is that a Larvitar?" She'd never seen one up close before, and curiosity usually got the better of her around rare Pokemon.

"W-wes! Would you... would you... g-go out with me?"

He Stared At The Red Head For A Moment, She Seemed Awfully Nervous Asking Such A Question But Then She Usually Did Seem Nervous Talking To Him And He Never Quite Understood Why. After A Second Of Staring With The Straightest Face He Had, The Teen Answered “Sure, If You Want”

"Where Do You Wanna Go?"

This Is What Happens When My Mum's Watching Grease While I'm Trying To Get Replies Done

theredheadedsidekick:

Shock was exactly what she’d been expecting. This was kind of invading after all. But what had he expected? That she’d just sit back in Orre and let him drive away? She was a little more stubborn than that. Perhaps he hadn’t noticed that side of her. Turning away from his eyes, simply because it was more embarrassing than she thought it’d be, she noticed Espeon didn’t seem just as horrified. Her heart softened a little.

"I had a feeling that you’d get yourself in trouble, so I came and ensured it?" She said with her best cute expression, then bent down and reached out her hand to Espeon, in case the psychic-type wanted to come closer. Even though she’d spent the adventure of her life with this trio, at least two of them were just as introverted as usual. "And I got my first own pokémon!" She said and looked up. "A present from grandpa. I think you’ll like him. Also, you could say, I was homesick?" Her smile twisted into partly gramsch, but still seemed to have no trouble talking. "Johto is my family region. I just… you know, families. They can be troubling. The region is OK. Not as pretty as Orre, but OK."

He Couldn't Believe It, This Wasn't Happening, How Could This Be Happening? Wes Had Been Certain He'd Seen The Last Of Rui The Night He Set Off Speeding Through The Darkness On His Bike In Any Which Direction But Orre, But Apparently Some All-Powerful Force In The World Had Other Plans. Plans Which Were Evidently Not Sitting Well With The Two Staring Dumbstruck At Her From The Couch.

The Psychic Type Trotted Over To His Ex-Partner Happily And Beamed At Her, Despite His Trainer's Less Than Subtle Feelings About Her Espeon Had Always Enjoyed Her Company, Being Stuck With Wes And Umbreon Was No Walk In The Park For A Slightly More Emotionally Honest And Driven Pokemon.

"Your First Pokemon?" For All The Time They'd Spent Together He Hadn't Really Noticed That She'd Never Used One Of Her Own, Although Considering How Much He Loved To Battle He Doubted She Would Have Gotten A Chance To Use Any Of Her Own If She Tried. "Your Family Is Here?" He Sounded Almost Afraid Of The Idea That Her Parents Or Some Siblings Could Be Hiding Around Any Corner Just Waiting To Jump Out At Him "But, Are They In Team Rocket? Why Are You Here?"

Rui found Wes once again, noticing his spiky hair from a million miles away. The boy was probably only minding his own business, but Rui who had crossed regions and become a criminal for his sake, didn't feel like running towards him with open arms just yet. Hoping that Espeon and Umbreon wouldn't reveal her presence, she approached him from behind, crossed both arms over her chest and did her best grumpy expression. "So this is where you've been. I almost thought you'd gone to die driving."

After A Little Wandering Wes Had Found His Way To The Breakroom, At Least He Assumed It Was The Breakroom Since Most Things In It Appeared To Be Broken. The Vending Machine Didn’t Work, The Window Was Broken And It Looked As If The Place Played Host To Regular Meets By The Local Fight Club. He Couldn’t Say He Was Entirely Surprised Given The Rumours He’d Heard, Although He Was Rather Hoping For A Place To Sit Down That Didn’t Appear To Be Bloodstained.

As He Was Busy Inspecting The Couch, Umbreon Hopped Up On Top Of It To Determine If It Was Safe Or Not And Espeon Glanced Back Upon Hearing A Stranger Approaching. He Was Ready To Sound The Alarm To His Ever-Social Trainer When He Saw A Familiar Face, It Was That Girl That Had Kept Them Company While They Fought The Others! Espeon Had Always Been Fond Of Her During Their Time, Even If The Other Two Were Hesitant Of Her Presence, So He Said Nothing Until She Announced Herself.

As Soon As They Heard The Voice, Both Trainer And Pokemon Froze. Espeon Mewed A Cheerful Greeting To Their Old Companion Whereas Umbreon And Wes Exchanged Uneasy Glances Before Slowly Turning Around To Face Her “R-Rui?! What Are You Doing Here?”.
