Momo tried thinking about it for a second. What she would be willing to trade for use of the TM... As she was glancing around, she spotted the Absol- that of course had been around the whole time- and smiled brightly! "YOU! I WANT YOU! ARE THERE MORE OF YOU? IS IT HIDING IN YOUR HORN?" ths Spinda shouted before stumbling forth in classic Spinda way towards the Absol!

Gilles hardly reacted as he found himself lifted into the air (though from Bellona's yelp, she wasn't taking it nearly so coolly). The beatings hadn't affected him too terrible; his shell was impenetrable!... unless you asked nicely. The shellfish would meet the Steelix's gaze with wide eyes and wiggling tentacles, not once breaking contact. When Genn finally gave his assessment, the strange creature grinned... or did a surprising fascimile with his wiggly bits. "Senpai!" he squeaked happily, stretching out with his fleshy appendages. "You noticed me!"
"WHAT THE BLAZING--" Bellona was not having a good day. She had no idea what was going on, nor why she should care, but when the Steelix tried shaking her off the Omanyte, she found herself annoyed. "Oi! That's our pervert you're trying to run off with, you overgrown paperweight! We need him to scare off the door-to-door salesmen!"
Vanni, meanwhile, had no idea what was going on, and was patiently listening to the Totodile. The small trainer tilted her head to the side, watching the Gligar's descent and eventual crash-landing. After a moment, she began to applaud. "9 out of 10, bravo! You've got excellent style and form, as well as aim, but try to stick the landing next time! You'll never make regionals that way."
By this point, it was clear sanity had checked out in the realm of dreams. Instead of trying to make some reason of it, the Growlithe would literally bury himself in the ground, whimpering.
Vanni would smiled doting, and gently pat her firedog on the head. "You make a fine Durant," she said proudly.
Eclipse almost jumped three feet when the girl started towards her ....she would glare at her, and when that didn't stop her prattling she would swipe one claw in the air. Her eyes narrowed.
(I am not for sale .....right?)
She had to ask considering that she had only known her trainer for like ....a few minutes as Nakano seemed to be surprise by the statement as well. She would walk over towards Eclipse and would stand in front of the pokemon.
"Yes, you aren't for sale, and no, I don't have more of her kind. If that is the price for the Tm ...it's too high."
She would declare with a sigh. It was a good chance, but, it would seem that already it was a failed idea. She couldn't nor would give up one of her pokemon for it ...she had worked too hard for the Absol. Eclipse would pick around Nakano's leg as she nods hard.
(Told ya)
She would ground her claws into the ground and flick her hair once so that the strange human could see her determination clearly. She had enough changes go on ..she had no plans of having any more ...soon.

While Momo was talking and discussing the future Absol, other things were occuring.
The Totodile looked disappointed when the Growlithe left him. Aw, but they were having such a nice chat. That was when he came back and instead a trainer approached. The Totodile was about to speak when the female launched into her own speech. By the end of it, the blue pokemon's eyes were wide as saucers. Finally! Someone that understood and shared similar tastes with him! Another intelligent being like himself! Smiling brightly, he adjusted his monocle with a claw. "Have you read the Great Gastly? Now that was a book to-" His speech was cut off as a certain pokemon decided at that moment to collide with his head. The Gligar crashed into his skull so hard that both his pipe and his monocle went flying and he landed with a loud THUMP on the ground. Lying there unmoving- was he feeling deja vu?- as he laid there like a dead pokemon. A few minutes passed and he jumped up. All intelligence had faded from his eyes as he let loose a quack! RIP for the strange Totodile that had once been.
Meanwhile on the other side, Valkyrie had watched as the Steelix became friends with the water pokemon. This would not do! They were picking sides fast and the dark pokemon had no choice but to side with the Chikorita. This was going to turn into an interesting battle! The leaf pokemon clung to Gilles with her vines tightly and the Sneasel moved in to help, trying to dig her claws into the outer shell. This was turning quickly into a game of capture the Gilles and they could not afford to lose!
On the other hand, the Rotom that had been perched on Momo's shoulder had finally found his target. Giggling silently, he had found an object on the ground! A gold mask! That looked like fun. Jumping off Momo's shoulder, he darted away approaching the mask. This was going to be fun. The electric pokemon leapt forward, trying to jump into the mask and possess it!

Vanni couldn't help a small sigh as the Totodile reverted from his strangely intelligent persona to the quacking prodigy they all knew and tolerated. Still, he seemed happy enough, and wasn't that all that matter? That, and money. "Good to see you're all right, Mister Quackers" she remarked
Culann's head poked up out of hte ground. "Is it safe to come out?"
The petite trainer would chuckle. "My dear, it's never safe. Never."
The Growlithe groaned, and placed his head on the ground in defeat. At least the damnable Totodile wasn't poking him anymore. Or talking. That was bad too.
No fighting, no stats!

Nakano would looked back at the Absol as a thought occurred to her.
"Though how do you feel about having pups?"
She would ask as Eclipse would glare at her again. A smile would come on the girl's face.
"Come on ...just one for this trade ...I know it will be weird."
(I am not having pups with one of my team mates)
She snap the words. She wasn't crazy such a situation caused problems in a pack, and she didn't feel it would be any different here as Nakano seemed surprise that she wasn't completely turning down the effort.
(Don't look at me like that ... I know females of species is rare, and our pups are worth quite a bit. It's the same in our packs, so we form alliances in such ways. I have been raised knowing that such a thing could be asked of me, so I am not hurt by the suggestion.
And if we agree to one pup ...I won't ever have to do this again ...right?)
Eclipse would ask as Nakano smiled.
"I can agree to that." "So, how about it Momo ...a trade for a pup instead of Eclipse?"
Momo looked at the Absol.. and for some reason her Growlithe popped into her head. Ah! That was it!"I know! I have a nice Growlithe at home! Why don't you two become friends? You might even have babies together! I'd love the first pup in exchange for use of the TM!" Momo's pink gaze got all shiny and happy as she thought of the Absol cub that could be produced. A new friend! Basically in Momo language, she had said her offer. Use of the TM in exchange for the Absol being bred to her Growlithe. The catch was that the Absol would be in her possession until an Absol cub resulted and that the said cub would be Momo's to keep. Only then would the Absol be returned to Nakano. The offer had been laid out, would the shinobi accept it?
----EDIT-------
Momo would continue to smile and her face lit up happily. "It's a deal! I'd love one of the pups!" she exclaimed. Meanwhile the Spinda girl began to dig into her bag, reaching for the Flame Charge TM. One use on the Vulpix and it would be returned. No big deal since TM's could be used over and over again! Momo held out one hand ready to transport the Absol to her land with Sir Aiden while holding the other with the TM held in it.
The Totodile let out a quack. Whether it was an affirmative quack or just a noise he liked making, the pokemon wandered off. Poking the Growlithe had been fun, but now he had other things to do. Instead he practically skipped over to Momo. Clambering up the Spinda costume, he then sat on her shoulder before clapping once. Well...that had been fun!

Raising his tail higher in hopes of gravity doing the job at which he was presently failing to accomplish, the Steel-Type would continue to wave the limb energetically ">I just want to borrow him!<" He replied, shaking his tail with further vigour. Of course then a thought would occur to him, an intriguing notion suitable only for a madman. Ceasing the flailing of his limb, the Steelix would lift his tail higher, half to allow Gillies to sit on his head, and half to bring Bellona to eye level ">You could always come with us! It'll be interesting!<" Genn invited cheerfully, though the look in his eye was more then a little unnerving.
Unlike his landing pad, Valvatorez wouldn't be as swift to rise after the impact. Instead, having flopped onto his back, the Gligar would stare dizzily skyward, images of Staryu and Zubat spinning around his head. Right until one went and...well it was all imaginary, so the foul insult to injury needn't be described.
Sitting up after this, the Gligar would wipe his face with a claw before he began whimpering. Sniffing audibly as tears began to dot the corners of his eyes, the purple Pokemon would suddenly wail, throwing himself at Vanni's feet ">Why! WHY ARCEUS WHY!!!<"
The Rotom was about to receive quite the shock however, something it was doubtlessly unused to. Rather then it's animated electrical form penetrating and spreading throughout the mask, it would instead find itself headbutting the rough golden service like one perfectly solid object colliding with another. Yes, this object was beyond the grasp of his possession...because it already belong to something else!
His body stretched thin as a strand of thread, laying hidden within the shadow of the surrounding grass and overhanging branches, Diabound had made his way over in the direction of Momo. Indeed, the girl had even been so kind as to trip, allowing for easier access of all her storage facilities. Presented with such preposterous luck how was the Yamask to resist!?
The touch light touch of fog the thieving spectre would begin riffling through the girl's possessions. Berry...feather....rock... He muttered in his mind, clearly uninterested with the contents of the girl's pockets. That was until...Sweet ambrosia from the heavens! The Yamask's glowing red eyes practically widened to the size of hubcaps as his find abruptly got a whole lot more interesting. Gems of various shapes and varieties. Glittering and glowing stones. Even a solid piece of gold! By Ho-Oh's sacred flame it was a find to match that of the Pharaohs treasury!
Now all he needed to do was sneakily, stealthily...
...and then she was off. NO! HIS FAT LOOT! The Yamask gave a silent cry, visibly despairing for a moment.
No, no, NO. He was not defeated. He had more then a few tricks up his spectral sleeves. With the abruptness of a freak thunderstorm Diabound would fall over, landing in the grass, eyes closed, and utterly a snore so loud there was no way any normal creature could possibly ignore him. He just had to wait for her to wander closer out of curiosity and then...
"The species doesn't matter to me ...I will do my duty."
She would proclaim as she stared coldly at her own trainer for a moment. Then she would release the tension ...she was in no rush for this to happen, but it would seem that though they weren't ...Momo was ...as the girl held out one hand for the tm and the other ....the other one would confuse her.
As Nakano would turn her head to the side a bit.
"What are you doing?"
She would ask the girl. It only made sense to her to ask considering that she was topsy turvy ....Nakano had agreed to the mating, but she wasn't handing over the Absol's pokeball either. She was no fool in this regard ...it would be the same as if she traded her, and this was a pokemon that was new to her. If the same happen to her, she would think she had been tricked, and maybe, that was why she had received such a cold glare.
"Wait a minute, I am not turning my pokemon over to you ....I figured you would simply give directions to your land ...and permission for her to go. Eclipse can go on her own and leave on her own once it over so it's not a matter of us meeting again."
She would tell her ...as she kept her hand from the tm as well. How often do they meet? How often do their paths cross, she knew once this dream was over she would be back on that blasted island with no clue when she would get off of it again.
If she gave her Eclipse to her now ...there was no telling when she would get her back again. That wasn't the deal ...not at all, but she told herself to keep calm. This girl is goofy, surely she had forgotten about all of that ...as she waited for her answer.
Eclipse would seem to soften as she heard her words. The pokemon's smile would grace her face ...she had been sure ..for just a moment that her trainer had lied to her. That she was only finding a nice way to get rid of her, but ...she really was in this to give that girl a pup and nothing more.
Her claws would leave a funnel in the ground for but a moment as she relaxes completely.

It was unlikely Gilles would ever stop giggling at this point, as he perched upon Genn's head, terrifying limbs wiggling with ever more gusto. So much room for activities! So many people to... embrace.
Bellona was not having a good day. Not only was a Steelix absconding with one of her teammates, but said Steelix might have been courting her, and a Sneasel had grabbed onto them as well. Gritting her teeth, she responded, "No can do. Under explicit orders from the boss; no running off on adventures, tension-filled or otherwise." Her expression softened a bit. "It could be fun, I suppose, but--"
"Join ussssssss~" hissed Gilles, making his eyes go wide as possible in an attempt to look alluring.
An attempt that backfire horribly. "-- but I'm afraid the answers no. So put us down! Go take the Dark Revenger, or whatever she is!" The Chikorita had no problems throwing her potential allies under the bus. Her voice was loud, hoping that Vanni would hear them.
However, no help would be forthcoming. Vanni was focused on the sobbing Gligar before her. She would kneel as so to be closer to him, and began. "Because life is pain, my dear," she said, lightly patting him on the head. "It is pain, and it does not surrender it's secrets easily. You cannot run from it; instead, you must let it consume you, and from the agony, become wise. Or Umbreo-Man." All this was spoken with a cheerful tone and a pleasant smile as she stared at him, green eyes unblinking.
Culann would finally pull himself from out of the ground, and padded over to the wailing creature. Noting his trainer's propensity for damage, he remarked, "Er, she's not great at advice. You hurt? Should I go find your trainer, or... " he trailed off, still out of sorts.
Momo looked confused for a second. Oh! Is that how things worked? The back of her mind was giving strange mixed signals One at first was warning her but at the same time guiding her. Alright, so maybe the Absol wouldn't come with her. Directions were easy to give. From within her bag, she wrote out a list of directions to the poke-lot that Sir Aiden was on. It was obvious she was giving permission for the Absol to enter it. However even as the girl glared at her, she wasn't sure what the big deal was. She wasn't trying to rip the other one off. However despite Momo's temperament, after hearing the outburst, she resisted the urge to glare back. It sounded like she was going to get ripped off. Holding the paper out, she was trying to give it Nakano, she looked into the other girl's eyes. Suddenly there was a serious expression that had Riku written all over it. "But to seal our deal, let's shake hands and give me your word as a shinobi that you will follow through on our agreement. A shinobi isn't one to break their word, are they?" she asked. It was Momo's voice...and it was still Momo inside...but the person speaking was definitely not the ditzy Spinda everyone knew!

Nakano would actually snicker a bit at that as she saw that Momo had caught on to where she was going. Good, she didn't want to sell off Eclipse, just her unborn pup. Though as Momo seem to get more serious, Nakano felt it was probably a good idea to be just as serious as her.
"Actually a shinobi are ones to break their words ...it's samurai that stick to that code. Though we never betray our contractor ....and once we are paid for a service ..we will damn well get it done."
The girl would reach over to her side as she pulls from a pocket on her left ...both a piece of scroll and a ink pen. The girl would then release Suzaku from her pokeball as she tosses a kunai down. The bird was looking ready for a fight, but Nakano would simply wave it away.
"I just need a place to write ..." as she lay out the contract on her back...to the very frustrated view of the Skarmory as she finished writing it out. In ink the contract was clear ...as she motion for Momo to come closer.
"Sign here, and it's a deal ...I will die before I break it. I will shake your hand after you shake it, and then the deal will be sealed. We shall both do our duty."
Momo nodded in agreement. She didn't know much about shinobi but it was nice of Nakano to explain it to her and be honest. The girl then looked at the piece of paper and then signed her name. The deal was now set as she held out her free hand. As soon as they finished shaking, Momo was prepared to give Nakano the paper that held the directions and the TM in her other hand. "I understand." she replied.

"Then it's a deal ....boss."
She would declare as she reaches out a hand to shake her hand ..even as she pocketed the scroll and the contract once more. It was afterall a binding contract and all shinobi follow contracts to the letter. Eclipse first pup by this growlithe was Momo's, and that was it as Eclipse was glaring at her again.
(All words for a shinobi can be taken as a lie)
Suzaku would answer for her.
(Don't worry ...Nakano is incompetent ...you can trust her word ...she is determine to be a good ninja someday, but she is a long way off)
This time it was Nakano's turn to glare. She would uphold her contract, especially since it was the first she every done. But did they have to speak so plainly about her failings.
(Besides, I am the one accomplishing this deal, but I got it.)
The Absol declares with a flick of her tail.
Nakano would take the Tm then ...as she would release her third pokemon to the field as Carrot appeared. He would seem to be confused for but a second as he looked at the beautiful Absol and would shiver.
(Pretty ...female)
Eclipse would immediately show her claws.
(don't even think about it, unless you want to be neuter.)
It would seem that her group was as bad as Momo as the Vulpix would seem to yelp and move closer to Nakano as the girl would take out next form her pocket ..a head set and Cd case. Ninja are always prepared as she would literally put the pokemon music on and the disc as Carrot would learn ...Flame Charge. Then ...Nakano would return the Tm to Momo.
Momo placed the TM back in her bag. With that, the steeliness of Riku faded from her eyes and she was back to her normal self! The Spinda girl glanced around, wondering what to do next.. Maybe she should go see what Vanni was doing. Somehow the group had gotten a little separated, hadn't it? Spotting the female near a Gligar, she approached happily. "Hi, Vanni!" she said, waving a paw.
In a different part of the place, the Sneasel was debating what to do. Partnerships meant nothing to the Chikorita. So what exactly was she doing? Was it worth it? This fight was starting to seem pretty pointless. With that in mind, she began to take more time to think about the situation. Obviously it was getting them nowhere and time was simply being wasted...
Meanwhile Sparky looked confused as he bounced off the mask. Hm.. that was odd. The pokemon stared hard at it, determined to try again. Suddenly it began floating away! The Rotom sparked after it. This was going to be fun! Again and again, the electric pokemon tried slamming into it from different directions. There just had to be a way in! He had to be able to possess it!
