Welcome to Gaia! ::

Indeed, Guy knew exactly where to meet his friend on this warm, sunny day. The location itself stuck in his mind, and it was impossible not to find it. After all, this place, the large, grassy park in the heart of Camphoreon City, was the first place that Guy had met Rosie, who has, since then, become a very dear friend to the young man. It was also, coincidentally, the place where he had found his equally-dear friend, Luke. Guy still was disgruntled by the fact that his master had run away from their home on the Grande Isle at all, but there was little he could do about that now. Luke seemed driven on staying here in Kodo and helping to rid the region of Team Rocket, which was a huge problem to tackle, too large for any once person to ever consider doing on their own.

Now wasn't the time to think about such things, though. No matter how much the trainers had to work now since the incident at the contest in Sandalwood, there were days when you just had to do something fun and relaxing, if, for nothing else, to clear ones mind of the harrowing task at hand. Today promised to be such a day, as the city of Camphoreon was blessed with a mild breeze and pleasant sunlight. The light of the sun shone in between the verdant leaves of the trees, dappling the shadows on the grass with patches of bright green. Guy sat among those spotted shadows, leaning against the trunk of a large tree in the shade. His Lampent floated at his shoulder, clinging onto the collar of his orange vest nervously.

There were few sounds to be heard here, in the midst of all this peaceful quiet. There were the occasional chirping of bird Pokemon, and once in a while some people would walk past either with or without Pokemon of their own. It was because of all of this that it was very easy for Guy to hear his friend's approach as she ran into the park. He looked up and smiled as he caught his first glimpse of Rosie as she hurried towards him. "Ah, the lady arrives!" The blond stood to greet his friend and Anonymes hovered up alongside him. Anon looked nervously about for a few seconds, but as soon as he laid his golden eyes on Rosie, all his fears alleviated. What a pleasant surprise it was to see Miss Rosie here! And with that nice Pikachu, as well! All of these people were people Anonymes liked! Today would be a good day. He could tell.

"Oh no, it's perfectly fine. Anonymes and I weren't waiting for terribly long." Guy gave his friend a kind smile. Silently, he was glad that Rosie maintained a fair distance away from him. Of all of the women that Guy knew, Rosie seemed to be the one who was most understanding of his crippling phobia, and he was extremely grateful for that fact. He chuckled as Kiss Kiss hopped onto his shoulder and nuzzled her cheek against his. It was a very good thing that he wasn't afraid of female Pokemon, as well. "Hey, there, Kiss. Nice to see you again, too," he said as he gently petted the Pikachu's head.

Anonymes' eyes lit up as Kiss Kiss hopped onto his master's shoulder. He hovered over to his Pikachu friend and bounced in mid-air happily. It was Kiss Kiss! He liked her! She was very nice, just like Miss Rosie was! ["Hello again, miss Kiss Kiss,"] he said to the Pikachu, imitating his master's pattern of speech. When the Lampent noticed Rosie holding her hand out to him, he hovered happily over to her and wrapped his arms around her neck in a large hug.

Guy laughed at his eccentric Pokemon, somewhat embarrassed by his excitement. He turned his blue eyes back to Rosie. "So, are we going to wait here for the others, or will we meet them later?"

Anonymes was so excited to see Miss Rosie! He liked Miss Rosie a lot. She was very kind to him, and she was always so happy to see him and Master. He wiggled happily as Rosie returned his hug. Miss Rosie was so nice, all the time! There wasn't any human that Anon liked more; that is, apart from Master. Master was Anon's favorite, hands down.

"That sounds good," Guy said in reply. He was almost positive that Luke would end up joining them sooner or later, but who knew how long that would be for? For the time being, it would just be Guy and Rosie, and that was all right. He reached a hand up to scratch Kiss Kiss's head "I was thinking that maybe we could head down to the beach for a while. Does that sound good to you?"

Anon finally let go of Rosie and hovered back over to Guy. Instead of clinging to his master like he would under different circumstances, though, he latched onto Kiss Kiss and hugged her just as he did with Rosie earlier.

Guy sighed and gave his Pokemon a small frown. "If you're gonna do that, get off of my head, Anon."

If Anonymes had a mouth, no doubt he would be pouting now. He dutifully obliged, though, and so he carefully, and with a good amount of effort, lifted the Pikachu off of Guy and onto the grass. ["I'm sorry about that, but I have to do what Master says,"] Anon said to Kiss Kiss. ["After all, my master knows best."]

Kiss Kiss only giggled when Anonymes picked her up. kicking her feet few times before she was set down onto the grass.
Where she promptly turned around and jumped onto the Ghost type's head.
It was odd coming out of the cheerful tones of the Pikachu as she snuggled her friend.
Now that Vany'n wasn't with them, Kiss Kiss was Rosie's strongest battler. Something she had worked hard for. It was a heavy burden, knowing she had to keep her trainer, and her team mates safe, but she would...
"Chuuuu~"

Rosie smiled softly, watching the two pokemon being adorable for a moment in silence.
Blue eyes returned attention up to Guy when he suggested that they go to the Beach for a bit, Lips parted slightly, before she perked up a little.
"Its been a while since we've been to the beach, That sounds like fun! I know a really nice spot up further that way." She said, pointing in the direction that the city starts tapering off, and wealthy residential arias take over.

Planning what put on hold though, when Rosie, and Kiss Kiss, both had their attention pulled away by a familiar yelling voice, and suddenly a beautiful cream colored Pokemon jumped out of the bushes.
Rosie gave a little gasp, staring at a Pokemon she had never seen before.
What was this Pokemon?

Before it could run away Rosie quickly went to her bag, pulling out her pink Pokedex and scanning the Pokemon for information.
"Its a Liepard... Ohh~ and this one is unique, Look, they're normally purple." she told Guy, holding the Pokedex out to show him the picture and stats of the dark type.

"Its one of those new Pokemon from the Unova region, like your Anony- Viktor!" She called out, excited to see the familiar Espeon.
She was interrupted as she starting over though when the can the Liepard was holding suddenly started hissing and frothing.
Rosie arched her eyebrows, watching the startled Pokemon bolt up a tree.

She felt it wise to give the spitting can some distance before it calmed down.
Both her and Kiss watched it with wide eyes, doing its funny, spinning dance as it spurted liquid.. it was kind of pretty .
Even as it died down the two just stood there, blinking at it.
That was when Dith stepped out.
Rosie beamed, very excited to see their new friend.
"Dith!" She exclaimed gleefully, Looking over at Guy, before she hurried to greet the larger man.
Giving a little giggle when he introduced his new pokemon.
"It looks like thats typical of her species to." Rosie said, holding her dex up for him to see, before she closed it and place it back into her bag.
"Rumpleteazer." Rosie repeated, though with some difficulty. "So is she your new pokemon Dith?"
Rosie crouched down, holding a hand out to Viktor to say hello to the pokemon "Viktor~ Hello beautiful Eon~"

"She is wicked to the bone, but very pretty," Dith said with a grin as he clasped Guy's hand thinking privately that this facet of the Liepard's nature reminded him strongly of an ex-girlfriend. Maybe he should have called her Velma. "She is indeed new," he went on, smiling down at Rosie, "and I have just taken to calling her Teazer, is easier for me to shout at her when she's run off with one of my shoes or whatever she had got hold of this time. She had my toothbrush this morning, I have no idea what the people in the rooms around me thought was going on with me chasing her around in circles."

Purring softly Viktor rubbed his face against Rosie's hand. Turning then to the other pokemon he gave another friendly chirr and bobbed his head.

grinned the Liepard in her tree, Stretching luxuriantly she hopped down from her branch, landing lightly on the ground and padding over to rub her face against Dith's leg. she allowed, Much as she missed her absolute freedom it was a fair trade for security she felt, and it wasn't as though she couldn't still have fun... Speaking of, she ought to keep her eyes open for the next item she could steal from him temporarily.

Dith, who was certainly not entirely stupid, looked down at the purring dark type with raised eyebrows. "She is plotting or wants something from me," he chuckled, "I suppose if it becomes urgent she shall let me know what... Now what were you two doing before I so rudely interrupted you?" This pair along with Luke were the only people in the region he could really count as friends so far, a little weird given they were both comfortably young enough to be his children but the slight oddness wasn't important in the end; they were nice and good people, and they and he shared a common goal.

Anonymes blinked curiously at the three newcomers to their small band of humans and Pokemon. Who were these people again...? He easily recognized the titan Dith, and he gave the human a small wave in greeting. He vaguely remembered meeting the lovely Espeon Viktor, who was currently greeting Miss Rosie. He did not know who the other cat-like Pokemon was. There were a few fleeting memories that he could recall from his distant life back in Unova where he had seen Pokemon like this new one before. A Liepard, was she...?

["I don't have fur for Master to groom,"] Anon added quietly as he hovered over to the rest of the Pokemon. ["But that's all right. After all, I know for a fact that my master cares about me. He's so kind and strong and noble and wonderful in so many ways! He's been so generous to let me live alongside him, and I'm so very grateful to have someone like Master looking over me."] He glanced over to the Espeon. ["My master has taken excellent care of me! I couldn't ask for anything more!"] He spoke these words not without a twinge of pride. His Master was the best!

"She does sound like she's a bit of a struggle," Guy agreed, chuckling a bit. He nodded as Rosie explained their destination for this day, catching her eye as she looked over towards him to affirm what she had said. He smiled and looked up at Dith. "Yep. It should prove to be a pleasant excursion. Would you like to come with us, Dith? I don't think either of us would mind. The more, the merrier!" Guy would be lying if he said he did not feel slightly uncomfortable with hanging around with a man old enough to be both his and Rosie's father, never mind the fact that Dith was a veritable colossus. He knew that he shouldn't be so concerned over it, though. They were all friends, all Pokemon trainers, and they were all working towards something together. There was nothing wrong with that.

Kiss Kiss simply smiled, though a little knowing at the skepticism in the Liepard's words. Honestly, she couldn't blame the pokemon, but it would be something she would have to find out for herself, in due time.
The heart cheeked Pikachu giggled a little, and looking fondly over at Anonymes, She loved his enthusiasm, Guy was really lucky to have a partner as loyal and as hard working as this ghost type right here. She had no doubt they made a strong team.

"Pi?" as Viktor continued to talk, Kiss turned her head to look at him, ears perked, only to falter back down slightly at the mention of her lost team mate.
Dark blue eyes blinked a couple of times, before she nodded firmly.
She didn't discuss it much further, knowing there wasn't really much to be said about, at least not yet.
They had a long ways to go before they could even think of how they can fight back.

Rosie perked up, pushing herself back onto her feet, shifting most of her weight onto the balls of her boots as Dith agreed to come with them to the beach.
"Yay!"She exclaimed when he agreed.

At the mention of him waiting on a key for an estate, she paused, and tilted her head curiously, hands folding behind her back.
"Oh? you are going to stay in the city for a while? Do you know what part of the city your house is going to be in?" She asked.
"I hope they get you the key soon, you have a place to stay till then, right?" She asked. hoping he wasn't living on the streets or something.
