Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alexander stopped and turned quickly. "FANG! USE AGILITY TO DODGE THE ATTACK!"

Alexander glared at the newfound trainer.

"That was an unprovoked attack...my pokemon never attempted to damage yours...and I don't have any healing items on me, so I would've had to slow down by carrying Fang. Why don't you and this other trainer just meet up, you both seem pretty insolent to me."

Alexander and Fang walked away cockily and then proceeded on their path.

Alexander smirked and turned to the trainer.

"My Fang has pinpoint accuracy, if we'd wanted to harm your little abra, it'd be out cold already. I simply don't like to converse with someone as socially belittling as yourself."

Fang looked at the Abra with intensity. Alexander noticed the glare and snapped his fingers. Fang immediately averted its gaze straight forward, staring blankly into the flames. Alexander ignored Fang's obediance. Fang thought in his head that his trainer simply didn't notice that he was being obediant because he was in a heated discussion.

"Fang, they aren't worth the energy, we don't need to be hanging out with these losers when we have places to be, you know that."

The two turned around in unison and started their path towards Fuchsia hoping to go uninterrupted this time.

((Kain, longer posts please))

Mifune walked out of Fushia city, having recived his pay for the last odd job on his list. His drantini,Hikaru, was floating around him humming happily.
"I'm glad that we are finally starting our adventure." Mifune said as he petted Hikaru, "Who knows what we'll find, or who we'll meet." Hikaru let out a prrruumm as a reply.

Alexander began to speed up his pace, it seemed like he was doing everything he'd been trying to avoid...he'd already met the owner of the stolen bike, had the bike torn to pieces by the mysterious girl's ninetales, evaded a confrontation by another trainer and now he had no fast means of transportation. The day just appeared to be getting worse and worse. As far as Alexander knew, he was miles away from Fuchsia. He turned around to see how much ground he'd covered. It hit him at that point that it was getting dark out, the sun had already begun setting and he could barely make out the shape of a tent in the distance, perhaps that of the girl he'd met earlier. The flames from the previous confrontation had already died out after only a few minutes...Perhaps Fang's fire blast isn't as powerful as I'd originally thought...he's nothing like his father aside from his impressive moveset. He does seeem better with demands then most pokemon, but with Alexander's skill, nobody could really expect anything less. Alexander's thoughts were interrupted by a snapping sound at his foot, it was a large bundle of sticks. They were neatly wrapped in what appeared to be twine and sat neatly on the ground in the middle of a patch of dirt.

"FANG! FIRE BlAST! NOW!" Alexander yelled in a demanding voice that echoed throughout the dim sky.

Fang jumped a bit, startled by the loud sound, but after the recoil time of 2 seconds, he did as he was told.

"You're probably just tired huh? Well, a good night's sleep will fix that."

He took off his shirt and spread it out in the grass for Fang to lie down on, he used his jacket as a pillow and closed his eyes. Tomorrow travelling would be more successful.

(Sorry it was so long. sweatdrop Had a lot on my mind I guess.)

Alexander took in the surrounding environment...not through his sight, but through the blind perspective...with eyes sealed tight he listened to the song each blade of grass sang as the wind blew softly...he felt the sparks of the undying flame beat against his face, for the first time in a long time, Alexander's expression changed to a weak smile. Not a cocky smirk, but an appreciative smile. This was truly ecstacy, the peace he was at was so pleasant it seemed to be nothing short of perfect. He let his hand run through Fang's mane slowly, the coat was so astoundingly soft that he couldn't help but lay his bare back against it, Fang didn't mind, it was the first true contact he and his trainer had really had.

Alexander's smiler disappeared. His eyes never opened, but it was visible that he had a thoughtful state of mind. He was pondering why the girl wanted him to be alongside her, and what she could do for himself and Fang alike. Surely having this girl alongside him couldn't slow him down anymore than he'd already been so far...and he'd kind of had an eye for her, she was different than most girls, he could already tell. He opened his eyes and sat up.

"I'll answer your question after you answer this, why me? What makes me seem like the trainer you want to help? There's seeveral others on this path."

Alexander thought to himself that the girl probably didn't know that.

Alexander never appreciated his arguably large intelligence being put into question, but the girl did have a strong sense of determination, she might deceive him, she might slow him down, but it didn't matter. Alexander had been betrayed enough times in his life to remain unphased if such an event were to transpire. He looked down and gave his signature smirk.

"Alright, you can tag along if you really want to...I guess I can't blame you for wanting to follow in my footsteps, I am fairly attractive." Alexander winked playfully and laughed, "But in all seriousness, you do have a head start on me as far as pokemon training goes, and I never pass up an opportunity to learn something new. As for my shirt, I'll sell some spare supplies and buy a new one in towns, a shirt's not necessary anyways."

Alexander rolled onto his back and stared at the stars. It seemed he'd put his focus elsewhere.
