As you neared the base of the first mountain, you saw that you were not alone. A group, quite a few in numbers, had no doubt heard the call of the pokemon as well and were journeying up the mountains. There were faces that seemed familiar to you, as well as many who were not. You wondered what each of their own personal reasons were for wanting to find the legendary pokemon.
RP Prompt 1
(( Say hi? This is just to get to know each other. Do not RP beyond just getting to know each other. ))
____________L E G E N D A R Y . S I G H T I N G
It was daybreak when they reached the foot of the mountains. It wasn't snowing in these parts, but it was sure to be near the top, where the air was chillier.
The group had been growing larger through the night and now looked like a small herd of travelers, with so many pokemon of all sizes out and about. There was light chatter among the trainers and cries of pokemon all over. Not one moment of silence from the group. Only a few hours of traveling had gone by, so everyone was still in high spirits and excited about possibly seeing the legendary. Maybe even being the one to capture the beast.
They approached a Ranger's station, conveniently located where the dirt path they were following led into the mountains. A Ranger was sitting outside, as if he had been expecting them.
He waved the group over. "We've been having many travelers up the mountains these days, but none were such a large group as this!" He exclaimed, excited. "Well, I'm here to make sure you travel safely, by providing some basic necessities. If you'll follow me inside."
He walked back into the little hut, carrying a large tote bag to which he handed the nearest adventurer. He spoke as he grabbed another and handed one to everyone in the party, "Inside, there is one pokeball; in case you need to catch a pokemon, a couple of berries, a water bottle, a flashlight, potions; in case your pokemon gets hurt, an insulated blanket, and matches. If you need anything else, I'm afraid that's all I can provide for you and I hope you're fully prepared for your adventure."
Just as he finished his short speech, the haunting cry from last night interrupted whatever everyone was doing to being their gaze to the top of the mountains. If you squinted hard, you could make out the outline of the pokemon.
RP Prompt 2
(( No need to keep track of what has been given to you. What's important is that you have one pokeball in which to catch ONE pokemon during your journey. If you capture any pokemon, you will not be allowed to try for the legendary at the end, if you are eligible. ))
____________D O D U O . F A R M
A few breaks later, they came upon a farm just off the side of the path. Do do do doooo.... The cries of hungry pokemon in the morning, but could barely be heard over the noises of the traveling group.
"Sayyyyyy-ayyyy!!!" came a dragged out and excited voice from behind the wooden fence when the group came within earshot. The speaker was dressed in coveralls, with his sleeves rolled up, and black rubber boots covered in filth. Doduo were around him, pecking at bit of what's left of his hair, his clothes, and helping themselves to the contents of a bucket he was holding. The farmer put down his bucket, to which the doduo gleefully surrounded, taking turns bopping their heads into the bucket. Occasionally, they pecked and squawked angrily at each other.
"You goin' up these 'ere parts?" He gestured to the mountains. "You know wha' you fellas need? Some nice doduo travelin' companions to make the travelin' go faster! Doduo are nimble on their feet, run fas' as hell, an' don' eat much!" You stared at the scene behind him, which seemed to say differently.
"Since there's so many o' you, I'll give you a discount! Only 10,000 pokedollas each!" He grinned like it was the best deal ever. When some started to ignore him and move along, he called out, "8,000 pokedollas? 5,000 pokedollas?"
As the group made their way up the mountain, a curious little face joined them. It went from trainer to trainer, sniffing as it went along.
RP Prompt 4
(( What's it doing here? Figure out what it's after to be able to capture it. Congrats to LexThetaSigma for the capture. ))
____________T H E . F I R S T . N I G H T
The skies were starting to grow dark. The mountains could be treacherous at night, with kids accompanying the group. There was no set leader, and no one had counted how many companions they had. The group was so large that someone could slip off the side and no one would even notice one of them was missing.
Everyone was evidently tired. Chatters had died down quite a bit. Some were complaining about breaks every 10 minutes. Your stomach growled. This was just the first day.
RP Prompt 5
(( Work as a group to decide what to do now that night is coming. The group has found either a rocky indentation or a grassy field to make camp. ))
____________T H E . R O C K Y . I N D E N T A T I O N
WAH! WHAT IS THAT THING. IT WAS IN THE CAVE. RIGHT NEXT TO YOU. It held up it's weapon, menacingly.
(( This is ONLY for those who have chosen to stay in the rocky indentation (cave) and are on the map above. If you are not listed in the cave area, sorry, you cannot try for this pokemon. If you are just showing up now and have not chosen a spot, you cannot try for the pokemon, but feel free to still RP.
Congrats, ladyfirefox89 ))
____________T H E . G R A S S Y . F I E L D
WAH! WHAT IS THAT THING. IT JUST CAME OUT OF THE BUSHES LOOKING LIKE IT KILLED ITS FELLOW KIN AND WORE IT LIKE A HAT.
(( This is ONLY for those who have chosen to stay in the grassy field and are on the map above. If you are not listed in the grassy field area, sorry, you cannot try for this pokemon. If you are just showing up now and have not chosen a spot, you cannot try for the pokemon, but feel free to still RP.
Congrats, Bluedemonwolf ))
____________D I S A P P E A R E D
The night grew late. After the travelers had filled their stomachs, finally chosen their bedding areas, and had gotten tired enough to stop chattering, they fell asleep one by one. Snores filled the air, both from human and pokemon. Light sleepers got up during the night and moved further from their louder sleeping companions. All was still.
The sunlight of the morning hit their eyes, and early risers got up to embrace their next adventure. There was one panicked scream, and then another. Next, the whole camp was up. What was going on? Those still sleeping rubbed their eyes, trying to make sense of everything around them.
"My pokemon! It's gone!" you heard someone yell.
Alarmed, you checked on your own.
Pokemon Disappeared - Lilliputti the Ditto, belonging to Gepardo (Tristam Lockhart). - Voltron the Emolga, belonging to Keria (Shadica). - Rental Glameow, belonging to Aleksandr (Shaddaling). - Tiger, belonging to Cara (Snowbelle Thundara). - Mordred, belonging to Dora (Redbud-Tree). - Fuutarou, belonging to Oyumi (Kitsune Mistress Nyoko). - Stein, belonging to Jackariah (ladyfirefox89). - Sakki, belonging to Zak (Zakiax). - Cloudrunner, belonging to Cael (SadWhiteRaven). - Auron, belonging to Doyle (Bluedemonwolf)
RP Prompt 7
(( If your pokemon has disappeared, you are not allowed to RP it coming back until the plot says they have returned. Wonder what is going on? ))
____________T R U S T . N O . O N E
Small search parties were formed, some went off on their own to search, others just didn't care.
A few hours passed and the sun was high in the air. It was evident that the missing pokemon were not going to be returning. Various searches came up empty. Clues led to dead ends and even more questions. Maybe someone in the group knows something...
The loud chaos brought a curious little teddiursa around. It stared at the large gathering of pokemon in the area, wanting to play, but hung back a little as if it wasn't sure if this group was friendly or not.
RP Prompt 9
(( Perhaps it wants a friend? Someone should approach it. Congrats, NaomiNaomi. ))
____________A . B I R D ? A . P L A N E ? . . . U H . O H
One good traveling day wasted. Many that they had started the trip with were now missing, hurt, or generally in a bad mood. The high spirits they came to the mountains with was no more. Who even cares about a legendary anymore.
Then came a deafening roar from above. Oh s**t. It swooped towards the group, inches above their heads. When it physically missed, the aerodactyl let loose a flamethrower, singeing the trees above their heads.
RP Prompt 10
(( Run. ))
____________T H E . C A L M . A F T E R . T H E . S T O R M
The aerodactyl finally collapsed. You looked around at the battlezone. Trees were burnt to the ground. The ground had been upheaved in so many areas that it was impossible to tell that it was once flat. Getting the group back together was a task in itself.
The group was safe, once more. Or so they thought.
The rocks beneath the group started to rumble and shake. The aerodactyl was gone, this couldn't be another of its Earthquake attacks! In its fury, the aerodactyl had loosened the rocks on the cliff they were standing on.
The next thing they knew, the group was caught in a landslide, tumbling off the side of the mountain. There was no time to react, no time to run, or grab your pokemon for dear life.
Good thing it wasn't a vertical drop. It was something like a 45 degree decline.
When you stopped rolling, you found yourself and everyone else in a ditch along with you.
RP Prompt 11
(( Roll and stumble. Ouch! ))
____________E P I C . B A T T L E . T I M E
Rockets quietly cursed under their breaths as Pokemon that were captured returned to their owners. Damn that cottonee.
Those that weren't already found out ran into some hidden place and changed into their Rocket gear, or whatever, so no one would suspect it was them. Didn't matter anyway. The jig was up.
RP Prompt 12
(( Rockets-- get your gear on, it's time for battle. ))
____________W I T H . A N . E P I C . C O N C L U S I O N
The battle seemed to rage on for days, with one side seemingly taking the lead, and then the other. Determination fueled both sides, and pent up anger was finally released. The dust brought up from the fray made it difficult to see who was on which side. By the end, everyone and their pokemon was dead beyond tired.
Just then, a shrill cry was heard. It was close. You recognized it as the one from that night-- the cry that first brought you here. Your mind was brought back to it's sad cries and how it wanted you to find it.
A few from the group moved towards the sound. You followed, not wanting to be left behind in a ditch, and still curious about what the creature was and what it wanted. I mean, you were already this far up the mountain, you might as well see the darn thing.
You come to a fairly large facility which, upon first glance, looked abandoned. This couldn't be right, why was there building this far up the mountain? It would be extremely difficult to get groceries.
Just when you were about to turn back and look for another road, you heard the pokemon cry again. It was coming from inside the building. You rush ahead, breaking down the doors with your pokemon. Rockets followed close behind, shanking people left and right cursing under their breaths.
Inside, you find the building was merely a shell. The ground was nothing but dirt. The walls were fairly thin, serving only to shield what was held here from the outside. Covering most of the ground area was a large lake.
Off to a far corner was the pokemon that must have cried out to you. It was in chains. A few people in black uniforms with the letter "R" on their clothing were attempting to sedate it with tranquilizers. On the other side of the building was what looked like a water bottling machine. A hose went from the lake to the enclosed machine. On the other side, water bottles rolled down a conveyor belt into boxes, which more uniformed people carried into a truck.
Upon surveying the scene, the trainers hurried to the suicune's side...
RP Prompt 13
(( Deadline: 48 hrs or Jan 23 @ 5PM PST / 6PM MST / 7PM CST / 8PM EST This last portion of the event is an RP contest open to everyone-- I decided to have it this way instead of only letting the winning side have the lgendary, but the winning side will still influence our future plots. Only throw a pokeball if you wish to have a chance at the suicune. You may edit your post any time before the deadline, but make sure everything you want to counted is in your post with the pokeball.
Trainers: Attempt to calm the Suicune and convince it that you will give it a better home, should it decide to come with you.
Rockets: Attempt to convince TR Executives how well you did on the mission, how you are a good Rocket, and why you deserve suicune.
When the winner is decided, I will post the last part of the conclusion with it. Don't forget your pokeball!
____________W I T H . A N . E P I C . C O N C L U S I O N . P T 2
Upon surveying the scene, the trainers hurried to the suicune's side, tearing down the chains that held it. It roared triumphantly as it was freed. The trainers' glory didn't last long, however, as Rockets called for backup. The next thing the trainers knew, they were surrounded with no way to escape. They had put up a good fight, but no one had expected the strength in Team Rocket.
One by one, the trainers were overpowered and knocked out. They woke up a few hours later to find themselves face to face with Uxie. This wasn't good. Not good at all.
((Trainers--))
You blinked to, finding yourself in the bottom of a ditch. You remembered that you were in the middle of a battle with Team Rocket! Where were they? Their identities were a bit fuzzy. Did you even win? The missing pokemon the group was looking for were now somehow back. Some even had pokemon they don't remember catching. Additionally, some of their companions were now gone. Who were they again?
All memories of them finding the facility were erased. All evidence of the facility was destroyed and photographic evidence deleted while the trainers were blacked out. The last thing they remembered was the battle with Team Rocket.
((Rockets--))
The suicune broke free of the chains, but the tranquilizers started to take its toll on the legendary. It struggled and fought to escape, but it couldn't get far before it fell unconscious. The beast was quickly chained up again and transported back to base. Team Rocket's scheme was over-- they had been found out.
All Rockets were ordered to pack up and erase any evidence of the facilities' existence. They would move on. The company wasn't a huge loss to them. Oh no, it was just a small sample of what's to come.
____________R O C K E T . B A S E
The suicune was in a holding cell, sedated, but starting to come to. It snorted to show the Rockets its distaste for being held down.
CONGRATS, GENESIS! (Entry in spoiler)
Ryuukishin
“I want it.”
“Hmm?” The Rocket Executive swiveled in his chair to face Genesis. He was a large, imposing man, all sharp edges with no soft curve to smooth them, and he looked down at her with a cold gaze. Even when he was sitting, he was taller than she.
Those in the lower ranks called him Turtle, for it was not long ago that he had been a Grunt among them. During those days, he’d been well-known for his speed, or lack thereof. He had done things at his leisure, could never be hurried, and was constantly late.
“The Suicune. I want it,” Genesis repeated. The hair on the back of her neck rose, and she fought to maintain her composure. She knew how risky it was coming directly to an Executive like this, with such a bold request from someone who was merely a Grunt. Even though his nickname didn't exactly inspire fear and respect, he was not to be taken lightly. His sudden ascension had been unexpected, and many attributed it to luck. He never denied it, but had quickly proven his worth, and no one doubted him now.
“The Suicune, eh?” His words were slow, deliberate, mocking. He mimicked her, wasting her time, just as he thought she was wasting his. But – ah, she was one of the Grunts involved in the mission, wasn’t she? It had been a close call, but the Rockets had come out successful, and he could give credit where it was due. He would humor her today.
“Why?”
Genesis gulped. Why? What could she say in response to that? That she deserved it? Her records didn’t exactly point in that direction. Even in her latest mission, many of her traps had been avoided and much of her battles were lost. Overall, the majority of her time on the mountains had been a failure: an accurate reflection of all her past missions. She’d even been assigned a Lugia before, and had not only allowed him to escape to the wild, but had caused him to rampage across most of their base, too. She’d yet to retrieve him. It... was not looking so good for her.
By this point, the thought of leaving was very appealing. She was sure she wasn’t the only one to make such a request: the Suicune’s beauty, on top of its power, would be tempting. She could withdraw. Her time here would be forgotten: she would not be memorable against the other offers he'd likely received. Her position wouldn't be threatened, and she'd escape with only a wounded pride to nurse.
But... she couldn’t forget the cry she’d heard, the one that had first drawn her to the Rinaul Mountains. The voice had been low, but it had been so clear it was as if its speaker had been right beside her. It was almost haunting, that sound. So alone, and so anguished, too. It seemed like it had been calling for her, and her only.
She’d shuddered then, when she first heard it, though she’d pretended it was because of the chill. It had reminded her of her own deplorable youth, and though she’d grown and changed, she would never forget where and what she’d come from and the abandonment she had felt. The Suicune’s cry had brought it all back, and she couldn’t leave it now.
“Because,” she finally said, “it would be of most use with me.”
She had spoken with a confidence she hadn’t felt mere seconds ago, yet it was already filling her voice. Her eyes flashed resolutely, and the Executive had to admit the sudden change came as a surprise to him. He wondered if it was arrogance that drove her, or even stupidity. His own eyes narrowed, and he studied her shrewdly. After a moment, he looked away.
He brought up her file on his screen, his keen mind quickly picking out all the faults Genesis had thought of earlier. But that wasn’t all he saw. She’d been an active member since her recruitment, and though her results weren't always the best, no one could say she didn’t try. Out of all the Grunts and Trainees that had been sent out to distract the travelers, it was she who’d attempted to steal the most Pokémon, lay the most traps, and win the most battles. There were numerous failures, of course, but there were signs of improvement after each loss, and she was one of the few who’d managed to keep her cover. She was no hare: despite what victories she had, she did not grow assured and lose her advantage. She may not have excelled from the first, but surely, she would someday.
Slow and steady wins the race – that was the saying, wasn’t it?
"Steal Pokémon for profit. Exploit Pokémon for profit. All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket," he said, repeating their motto. “The Suicune will be used give Team Rocket an edge in the water bottling field.”
Despite the statement, Genesis stood firm and unmoving. He smiled.
“But," he said, just as slowly and deliberately as before, but without the derisive tone, "if you manage to tame it, it’s yours.”
It would mean a considerable loss for Team Rocket. But only temporarily. He was sure it would prove more profitable with her if she succeeded, just as she promised, but he kept the thought to himself.
Genesis blinked, surprised. After he'd seen her record, she was sure she'd have to put up more of a fight. She wasn't going to complain, however. She beamed and gratefully took the Key Card the Executive offered.
“Thank you, sir.” She saluted him and turned.
“Wait.
Genesis looked back, curious, wary.
“Good luck.”
She paused. Then, returning his smile, she left.
Genesis made her way to the suicune's holding cell. The Rocket guards had already been notified of her arrival and purpose beforehand. One of them stopped her as she was approaching and grumbled, "Results, Genesis, results. Rockets want results." He gave her a look that said 'I'm keeping an eye on you' before walking away.
OOC Conclusion
Gen (Ryuukishin), for earning the most points for the entire event, being a helpful Rocket, and providing flavor text for what happens after the event xD! Why yes, the suicune still needs to be tamed and I want to see Gen try xD!
BUT WAIT! THERE WAS ALSO OTHER NOTABLE ENTRIES AS WELL~
Rian-chan and musicaloner7: You are guaranteed a consolation pokemon choice between sandshrew (uncommon), glameow (common), or duskull (common). Coloration will be normal and markings will be up to the colorist, but you will get first choice out of the batch! Let me know of your choice of pokemon in this thread. If you do not wish to receive a consolation pokemon, please also let me know~
The entries were judged based mainly on whether you answered the prompt and how well you answered the prompt. A lesser criteria was creativity, showing me a bit of your character, and taking the scene further than what I have shown you. It was a really difficult decision to make, therefore, I factored activity into choosing the winner. I loved reading all your responses and getting to know your characters. There was a lot more entries than I had expected, which was pretty exciting to me~ Thank you everyone for entering.
I also want to thank everyone who participated in the event, even if you signed up and didn't have the time to RP. Your interest in the shop and your excitement is enough for me~ It's my first major non-crack event, and I want to thank everyone who stuck with it despite my crazy storyline and putting your characters in all sorts of trouble xD!
I hope that what you got out of the event was RPing with different people, getting to know each other's characters, and being able to react to random situations. I'm never going to see your characters in RP events ever again, am I? :<
I hope you all had as fun as I did. I was sick for a good 2 weeks, and this event gave me so many laughs that even though I was stuck at home, I didn't mind since you guys kept me entertained. I especially love when people can take my prompt further than what I've given and make things happen to further the story. ILU guys :>
Time for what you've all been waiting for--
PARTICIPATION POINTS! Spreadsheet here~ POST HERE to let me know of your pokemon and coloration (if eligible) choice, and if you pass, as well. Consolation pokemon cannot be gifted. They can only be traded.
Breakdown of points: You will get to choose from the batch according to how many points you earned. Of course, if you're the only one choosing that type of pokemon, you don't have any other choices.
- 20+: You get to choose from a glameow or a duskull if you are not in TR. If you are in TR, you get to choose from the pokemon listed, including meowth and gastly. All normal coloration. - 50+: You have the option of upgrading the coloration to normal/shiny recessive. - 70+: You get to choose from a glameow, duskull, or sandshrew if you are not in TR. If you are in TR, you get to choose from the pokemon listed, including meowth, gastly, or vulpix.
And this officially ends our event. If you wish to continue RPing, please take it to the normal RP forums. Thanks again~

As Syt neared the mountain she glanced around her. She didn't recognize many of the faces though it wasn't like she spent a lot of time just hanging out in Poke centers to get to know them. Some of them she remembered from past battles, but that was about it. At her side strode Galaxay, who kept a watchful eye on those around them as she heeled beside her trainer.
Coming to a stop at the base of the mountain, Galaxy sat down beside Syt, letting loose a toothy yawn.

Walking up to the base of the mountian Sunny Jones whistled as she pushed back the brim of her hat. She had heard rummors about the mountian and what it could hold and could not help coming to check it out. She could see other people were already there. The more the merrier she thought as she walked up to the people. "Hello," she said with a smile on her face

A fedora, pinstripes, and a duskull playing 'follow the leader'.
That was all Jack had to her name as she advanced, broad shoulders squared. She'd come to Zatao looking for a name, maybe even something to do. Honestly, she wasn't too fussy. If nothing else....
She could use the... Oppertunity to try looking for pokemon. Her ma was a trainer after all, and stray Duskull or not, she wasn't licenseless, even if she only had mostly empty pokemon, some munchies, and a s**t-eating grin. And why not? To anyone she didn't know, she passed as a man.
To her knowledge, she knew noone in Zatao. And that was how she liked it.
Jack shifted to size up the group gathering at the foothills with a calm face, the Duskull floating about her curiously before popping about as strays often did, trying for a scare or two. Jack, on the other hand, doffed her cap, speaking with an accent from Johto in a deep voice.
"Evenin'."

The winter night was cold, but Kurai was used to being outside in such weather. She'd been traveling so long it wasn't commonplace, but it was familiar. So the small girl practically laid on Hissy Cow's back, bundled up and trying to expose as little of her mass to the cold as possible. She knew Duo wasn't far behind her and the Miltank, probably grumbling about the cold, and Oyumi likely wasn't far off either. Something like this? Not attract the people she often traveled with? Haha, not likely.
Her Miltank companion watched the gathering crowd warily, bundled up in her own version of winter clothing, keeping an eye out for potential threats to Kurai. Which...really meant anyone getting too near them got huffed at and eyed dangerously. Until Kurai bapped her between the ears. "Be good, Hissy. No scaring off the others." The Miltank made a noise of protest.

Gepardo put out his cigarette, smothering the lit tip on his leather bracelet, and letting out the smoke out through his nose, doing a very good impression of an unamused charizard. He started to gather up his lighter and another cigarette when he spotted a small group gathering ahead, politely enough, he put both things away.
"Good evening, ladies...and gentleman" He paused and added the rest, it had taken a moment to distinguished the gender of people gathering. Gepardo turned his head to give a rather owlish look at a Miltank. So far, he had never encounter one in Zatao before.

Arwen gave a huff at the dirty blond hair that fell in front of his face and blocked his vision, his electric blue eyes narrowing with annoyance. With an easy flick of the wrist that showed such an action wasn't uncommon, he moved the strands out of the way before joining the gathering group of people. He wondered: was everyone here going to search for the mysterious Pokémon?
Crouching down, he set the Poochyena he held in his arms gently onto the ground.
"Go on, Parth," he said softly, ruffling the Pokémon's ears before standing up again and looking about.
Parthenius didn't need to be told twice. She set her nose on the floor instantly and, with loud exhalations and snorts, went to inspect the ankles of those nearby.

It was cold in the mountains, but Dora had to admit that it was good to be here. She needed to spend some time with just one of her pokémon, do some one-on-one bonding and hopefully get the dratted feathery ball of trouble to start listening to her sometime soon. This adventure had sounded like it was just what she needed, and so the teenager had packed up and took her Murkrow off on an adventure.
Mordred, however, didn't seem quite so impressed with this trip. Perching on his trainer's shoulder, he clung tightly to her with both feet and fluffed up his feathers against the cold air. As a result, he looked to be both much fluffier and much bigger than he actually was, in addition to being displeased with the entire situation. Dora, watching him out of the corner of her eye, sighed and reached up to run a hand along his beak.
"There, there, Mordred. I'm sure we can find something nice and shiny for you to take back," she offered consolingly to the bird, before her attention was caught by someone walking by in a pinstripe suit. Mordred's attention appeared to have been caught by the same person, if more by the Duskull that was following along behind her. Trainer and pokémon exchanged a look before approaching the rest of the group, focus fixed mostly on the person who had for some reason caught both of their attention.
"Hey," Dora said to the... man(?) in the suit. "You're dressed pretty sharp for a mountain excursion," she said, tone caught somewhere between admiration and surprise. "Any particular reason you're going up while dressed so nice?"
Doyle easily walked next to Arwen already over his fit of hysterics. He looked about the group and his eyes immediately landed on the Suicune. His eyes grew wide and he walked over to Syt and Galaxy.
"Wooooow. I haven't seen a Suicune with markings and colorings like that before." He said sounding surprised, "I'm Doyle... Doyle Whelan. I'm a traveler been around a lot of different parts of the world." He gave a grin and then began to rummage around in his bag. "Would your pokemon like a berry? I have extra."

The teen and Murkrow were a slight surprise, but Jack didn't start, even with a Duskull cackling in her ear (Why was it even fixating? Ugh...!) and she smirked.
"It's comfortable. It fits. And I don't need to spend money on more clothing. Besides, pockets." She motioned, opening the coat. Along with her vest and shirt, she also had her pokeballs, stowed warmly in the inside pocket. The Duskull hissed, hiding in a tree before floating back out.
"And then there's that Thing."
The Duskull preened smugly. Apparently, it decided like Mordred. Jack was shiny.

Kurai looked over at the blond man who spoke up, smiling at him and waving with a gloved hand. "Good evening, sir." Hissy Cow eyed the man even more warily than she'd been eying others just a moment before, and Kurai sighed. "Hissy, dear, you're not a Pidgeot. Stop that." The Miltank gave her trainer an indignant look. She was just trying to look out for her!

Tenko was glad she dressed warmly for her mountain excursion. She wore a white fur coat over her scrubs and had tucked her pants into her high heeled boots. She was also glad she had the Duskull with her. She figured it could ward off any wimpy Pokemon that tried to attack her. "Good evening, everyone." She couldn't help but laugh when an oddly colored Poochyena sniffed her ankles. Even through her layers of clothes, she was ticklish.
Osmond winced as his Raichu, Marlo, bit heedlessly into the tip of a pickle, rolling his mouth in large, obtuse ovals as he chewed with mirth. Pursing his lips to the matter, the officer sighed and said, "You're going to get fat, Marlo."
"Aichi," was all the Electric-type returned, biting into his salty fruit with complete nonchalance, echoing with more snappy bites as they reached an incline and slowly trekked up the dirt path.
"You're already fat, Marlo," Osmond pipped up when silence met their tongues again.
And, as before, the Raichu replied, "Aichi."
Sighing, the officer realized just then and there that this choice at a vacation was going to be wonderful. Just WONDERFUL. This would be the last time to listen to Cetus, especially when it came to his off-duty plans! Marching straight up to the crash and flow of individuals settled near the Rinual Mountains, Osmond flicked a few fingers.
"Hey there, Offi-" Cruuunch, crunch, crunch, crunch. Muddled grey eyes were slanted in the direction of Marlo, who unwittingly cut him off as he popped the last bit of salty, tangy goodness into his mouth and sucked the ends of his paws clean. Choosing not to revel in the embarrassment, Osmond repeated, "Hey there, Officer Willis. Nice to meet everyone. Yea."
