Kilik winced when the Mightyena yelped in pain. He shook his head then swept the air with his arm. "Alright, Lairon! Help Shiver out by using your Tackle attack!" He extended his finger and pointed at the Dark-type canine.
Lairon didn't move when Kilik executed the command. The Iron Armor Pokemon stood his ground and continued to glare at Mightyena with murderous intent. When he heard Kilik command him again, he let out a mighty roar and his metal plating began to shine with a dull light. He charged forward and slammed, full force, into the dog. The Pokemon felt like a charging train, happily unstoppable.
Kilik raised an eyebrow at the attack. This wasn't Tackle. Lairon knows moves too? Things I don't know? he raised a thumb to his lips and bit down slightly as he thought. Maybe my PokeDex will have some data on it... Kilik pulled the device out and held it up to get a good picture of Lairon. When the data came up, none of the moves listed beneath his name were different than before. He was, according to this PokeDex, the same as ever. Yet Kilik knew for a fact that something was different. He put it away in his pocket and looked over at Mike. "We've got these guys in the bag," he laughed.

"Hmm?" Jason turned to see Alex watching from the nearby grass with her Surskit sitting on her lap. "Oh, Alex! I figured you'd be somewhere around here. It's nice to see you again." Jason smiled as he walked over to the grassy area she sat in.
"It's only been a day you know, to be honest I forgot all about you." She said with a serious face, but cracked a smile as soon as a defeated look fell upon Jason's face. "Ha ha ha, I'm only kidding. So Jason, was that your 'secret weapon' you hid from me yesterday?"
"Heh, kinda." Jason scratched his head as he tried to remember what she was talking about, and remembered the after battle conversation they had. "I had it up my sleeve the whole time.
"Glad you did. A hit from an attack like that and my little Surskit woulda been toast! That is...IF you managed to hit her. She's a lot faster than you know, I held back a little too." She stuck her tongue out and laughed. "I noticed you sneaking around in some grass a few minuets ago, what were you doing?"
"Wait, minuets ago? How long have you been spying on me?" Jason cocked an eye brow, but decided to forget about it. "Well, I was observing a Roselia, I took down notes and everything." Handing his notebook over to her, Jason yawned.
"Really?" Alex took the notebook and flipped through the pages. The first few pages were full of pokemon and information about them, but they were all boring and short, these were the trained pokemon Jason observed in his towns pokemon center and therefor had nothing special to observe. There were illustrations of the pokemon just sitting there and not doing much else than obey the trainer. Alex was getting bored when she finally got to the page with today's date. She looked at the different illustrations of the wild Roselia, the various poses Jason had sketched and the data he collected. "Hey wow, this is pretty good! I mean it's not great or anything, but I like it. Is this your first wild observation?" She looked up from the notebook to a sleeping Jason who was standing in the same spot he was in when he gave her the notebook, his hand still slightly stretched out and his head tilted to the side as he snored quietly. "...I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF COMPLIMENTING YOU'RE WORK YOU JERK!" Her yelling didn't seem to effect Jason in the slightest and when it looked like she was going to lose it, Zeus sent a jolt that shocked Jason to his core.
"AAAHHHH!!" Jason fell over, but caught himself and shot straight back up. "The hell was that for!" Jason shot at Zeus with an angry expression while the metal ball floated by Alex's head.
"Don't yell at it, you're the one who fell asleep on me! Good work Zeus." She pouted and turned her attention to whatever was in the direction facing away from Jason, tossing his notebook into the air.
"Wha- hey, it's not my fault or anything, I'm a sleepy guy!" As he spoke, Jason fumbled around trying to catch the notebook. When he had it secured, he put it back in his bag and frowned. "Don't take your problems out on me, it's not my fault Zeus would whip your little Surskit with ease now."
Alex turned to face Jason again, this time her face was red and a little vein in her forehead started to pulse. "That's what you think this is about! You think I'm angry over a pokemon battle!? You are clueless!"
Jason could see she was fuming, but it didn't seem to really sink in yet. "What? I'm the one who should be mad! All I did was fall asleep while you were talking to me, my mom never minds when I do it." Jason's voice was calm again, but he was still frowning.
"So I'm your mother now!? You stupid Jerk, Signal Beam!" Surskit, who had been quiet till now and was watching from the side along with Zeus jumped forward. Immediately she charged a weaker Signal Beam than the one she had used against Zeus and fired it at Jason. Alex stormed off and Surskit followed.
"What the-!" Jason leaped to the side and a cloud of dust flew up into th air where the beam hit. Jason coughed violently and when everything had settled, he got up and dusted himself off. Alex was gone from sight and only Zeus remained floating by him. "What the hell, crazy girl. What did I ever do to her?" He shook his head, oblivious to the girl's motives, and continued to make his way to Verdenturf.

Mike flashed a thumbs up to Kilik, smiling under his face concealing scarf. "Oh yeah, this is cake! These goons couldn't raise Pokemon if their lives depended on it." A surge of confidence rushed through the boy, replacing his seething anger and calming him down a bit. Good, it would help him focus now that he wasn't fuming. Granted, getting cocky was risky too.
Vince roared in anger at the damage to his Mightyena, he knew that the Dark Pokemon couldn't stand another hit. "I won't let you two make a fool out of me! Rock Smash now!" Mightyena stumbled forward, the damage taking its toll. Regaining his footing, the Pokemon charged forward, bringing a glowing paw down onto Lairon's head plate, hoping to score a heavy hit.
Mike recoiled, he knew that one hurt. "Alright Shiver, let's add to this mess, Clamp that Tentacruel!" Flashing an arrogant smirk as usual, Shiver opened his shell, slamming it back shut on the side of the Tentacruel's body, creating a tangled mess of tentacles and spikes. The Magma boy knew that the attack would be next to minimal damage, but it would open the door for Kilik to attack when Mighteyena was taken down.
Marty kept his cool, calmly ordering his Tentacruel to perform an Acid attack. The Jellyfish struggled to move, the Wrap and Clamp attacks making free movement a passing memory. It fired a toxic ball of acid right inside Shiver's shell, slightly melting one of the inner layers with the point blank shot, a critical hit. Thankfully it missed the Cloyster's head, but it still did a bit more damage than Mike would have liked.

All right, Torchic should be able to land more hits now, Jaeshan thought, although he did feel a little bad for the poor burned Taillow. "Use Scratch!" he then commanded, running a hand through his blond hair. The fiery orange chick ran forward, growling fiercely as she did so. Instead of scratching at her opponent though, she snapped her head forward and striking the blue bird with her beak - a Peck attack. Jaeshan scratched his head and shrugged - hey, at least it was a new attack.
The Taillow struck back though, managing to catch Torchic right in the stomach with her own Peck attack. The chick Pokemon staggered back, her eyes squeezed shut, and she began to growl, hopping up and down angrily. "Torchic?" Jaeshan asked, taking a step forward. He'd never seen her act this way before and he was starting to feel a little worried.
"Is she okay?" Kirstie asked, also voicing her concern for the little chick. "Cause we can stop..."
The prospect of ending the battle was enough to send Torchic over the top, and she opened her beak, spewing forth a stream of flames that looked like a Fire Spin for a split second, except the flames had started to encircle the young chick, soon covering her in a spiraling pillar of fire. "Torchic!" Jaeshan shouted, wanting to help but knowing that he couldn't get close due to the intense heat. For a second the heat became unbearable, and both Jaeshan and Kirstie had to step back for fear of being toasted. Taillow hobbled back helplessly, her eyes wide as the tower of flames slowly died down. Standing in the place where Torchic should have been was a much larger version of her, sharp claws protruding from her feather arms. She hopped back and forth on her two new powerful legs, looking at the Taillow with a devilish smirk on her face. Before Jaeshan could utter a word the larger Pokemon jumped at the Taillow, delivering one fierce kick and then another, knocking it to the ground in a crumpled heap. The smaller bird didn't get up, and the newly evolved Combusken let out a loud crowing to celebrate her victory.

Sparky dashed at the bird pokemon helplessly, trying to attack one; but they kept flying away and avoiding his attacks.
This is no use... Steffi thought. Sparky would have to use Thundershock on them but I've never tried him using the attack more than twice in a row, what if it tires him out? These thoughts pondered in Steffi's mind as she let the pikachu chase around the birds. She sighed. I guess there's not much we can do...
She flicked her hair out of her face. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. I'm trusting you here buddy.. I know you can do this.
"Sparky! Wipe them out with another Thundershock!" Steffi called out confidently.
The pikachu stopped instantly and turned around to face his owner. He was confused, but decided to obey her commands. "Pika." he grinned in agreement. He then collected all his energy and unleashed it all blindly at the sky with a loud "Chuu!" he hit the pokemon as they fell to the ground, unable to fly anymore. "Pikachu!" he smiled in gladness.
However, Steffi wasn't as happy as Sparky. She wasn't sure if he could take another Thundershock. She dropped her head and stared at the grass in front of her. The Spearow dashed forward and attacked Sparky with a vicious Peck.
"Sparky!" Steffi called, rushing over to her pikachu. "Are you ok?" she asked, picking him up and cuddling him close.
"PIKA!" he shouted in anger and jumped out of her arms. "Pikapi! Chaa!" he explained, vigorously using his arms to point at the two pokemon. He wanted to defeat them on his own.
Steffi felt her eyes water as she wiped away the teardrops forming at the end of her eyes. If he could do it, she could to. "Sparky, show 'em what you're made of! Thundershock!"
Sparky nodded and clenched his hands into little fists. He once again took in energy and when he was ready he flung it at the enemy. But he was too caught up in his bravery to concentrate enough, he missed them. "Pikachu.." he said in shock as he watched the bird pokemon grin teasingly at him.
Tiredness overtook him as he let himself drop to the ground. Those attacks sure took the energy from him. The grass was so warm and comfy... He smiled and closed his eyes.
Steffi glanced at Yume for assurance. Then she looked back at Sparky. Something was wrong, he was sitting on the ground, eyes closed. Oh no! she thought. She was just about to go up to comfort him when she saw the Hoothoot hopping quickly towards him. He seemed pretty angry at the electric shocks he had gotten, and seemed as if he was going to make a big attack.
"Sparky!! Wake up! Thundershock! Tackle! Anything!" she called frantically, but the pikachu stayed where he was. The hoothoot was only a few meters away now. She had to do something!
Without thinking, she reached back into her bag for anything to throw at the hoothoot. She pulled out the first thing that came to her hand, something round, then threw it full force at the hoothoot.
The moment the pokeball left her hand Steffi realized something wasn't right. The white and red ball flew through the air and opened above the two pokemon. Hoothoot stopped, very close to the exhausted pikachu. In shock, he glanced up at the ball, and was instantly absorbed into the sphere. The ball landed on the ground, waking Sparky up. "Pika." he said, standing up and looking at the ball rolling on the ground vigorously. Confused, he put out a hand and poked the ball. It almost immediately stopped, making Sparky jerk.
Steffi fell to her knees, watching the pokeball stop shaking.
"Ohh boy.... That.. was.. a pokeball...."

Ray saw a small building up ahead. "Flame, race you to the sign by the building." Flametail looked up and quickly made a dash for the sign. "Hey, hey, I didn't say go!" Ray ran after his Charmander and tripped on a rock. "Ow! No fair!" He slowly got up, "You cheater!" Flametail was already half way to the sign. Ray started to chase him again; he pulled out a slingshot and looked for ammo. "You're not going to win!" Ray felt a lump in his shirt and pulled the item out. "A berry? Ahh, it's worth it for the win." He stopped, placed the berry in the slingshot pouch, and aimed for Flametail's head. "Sorry, but I won't lose again." He made an evil laugh and fired.
Flametail got hit in the back of his head and fell face first. He sat up, and cried with his eyes covered. "Oh no, I'm sorry!" Ray rushed over to his Charmander to comfort him. "I'm so sorry Flame." Flametail moved his hands, revealing an evil look. He bit Ray's arm, smacked him in his face, and threw dirt in his eyes. Ray yelled, "You faker! I'll get you for this." His arms extended to reach for anything. "I'll get you b...!" He felt a warm drip on his forehead. "... back." He wiped it all and licked his hand. "Is that... This is a berry! How could you waste a ... oh." He got up and wiped off the dirt from his eyes. Flametail was dancing by the sign holding up a peace sign. "I will get you back, you know that!" Flametail fell to the floor laughing and pointing at Ray.

"Combusken..." Jaeshan said quietly, taking his PokeDex from his pocket and holding it up to scan the gloating Fire-type.
"Combusken, the Young Fowl Pokemon. It battles using the intensely hot flames it spews from its beak and its destructively powerful kicks. This Pokemon's cry is loud and very distracting, and it uses this cry both to intimidate foes and to help boost its concentration."
While the PokeDex prattled on about Combusken, Jaeshan was noting the difference in appearance, and also the confidence that seemed to be radiating from his Pokemon. Combusken had more than doubled in size, now standing nearly three feet tall. Jaeshan noted the sharp claws and powerful-looking legs, and for a moment he nearly cried out with glee. "I can't believe it... congratulations, Combusken," he said, stuffing the device back into his pocket and pulling the Fire-type into a hug. He stood up, carrying Combusken like she were a small child (and the Pokemon seemed to be loving it) and looked over to Kirstie, who had recalled her Taillow and was looking at the ground miserably. "Hey... are you all right?" he asked softly.
"No," she said quickly, her tone and honesty catching Jaeshan off guard. "I really wanted to win... but it looks like I've got a long ways to go before I can pull that off." She sighed, turning towards the Pokemon Center but stopped. "I'm going to get stronger," she said, turning her head slightly to look over her shoulder at Jaeshan. "And when I do, I'm going to challenge you again. And next time, I'm gonna win." She winked at him before continuing on her way, and Jaeshan made no move to stop her.
"I don't doubt that," the boy said with a chuckle, laughing even harder when he heard Combusken scoff. "We should get going too," he said after a moment or two. "I should get Beldum healed up, and you could use a bit of a checkup yourself." While Combusken really didn't agree with that, she decided not to protest, but was decidedly not walking there on her own. "I'm really proud of you," Jaeshan told her as they entered the Pokemon Center. "You're going to continue making me proud, right?" The Pokemon nodded, hugging her trainer again as they made their way to the front desk. "Good."

A slight chirping emanated from his pocket, and as he returned Combusken to her Pokeball and gave her and Beldum to the nurse, Jaeshan took it from his pocket and studied the message. It was from Professor Birch, and the multitude of spelling errors were a big clue that the man had typed it out in a hurry. "Nidoking has to go" was all it said, and Jaeshan quickly assumed that the large Pokemon was causing a disturbance or two. Shaking his head, he walked over to the computer and input his information and a second or so later the eager Professor had initiated the transfer. Once Jaeshan had Nidoking's Pokeball in his hand, it burst open, and the Pokemon stared at his trainer as though he were a child who'd been abandoned by his parent.
"Did you really miss me that much?" Jaeshan asked, rearranging the order of the Pokeballs on his belt. His question was answered by Nidoking rather obviously, as the Drill Pokemon wrapped his powerful arms around Jaeshan's waist and then hoisted him into the air in a very tight bear hug. "Okay, I get it!" he choked out, gasping as the tough Pokemon put him down. "You know, you can't go around trashing things when you're angry," he said with a sigh, sitting down on a nearby chair to await the return of his other two Pokemon. "You're gonna cause a lot of trouble that way."
The Nidoking only scoffed and sat down on the floor in front of his trainer, pretending like he hadn't done anything wrong. "Well, it's probably a good idea to keep you with me anyway. Safer to keep more than one fairly tough... okay, okay, VERY tough Pokemon with me." Nidoking had cast an angry glare at Jaeshan, and gave a curt nod and a snort to signal that he was right. Jaeshan could think of nothing else to say, and patted the Pokemon on the head as he stood up to reclaim his two Pokemon. "Well, we'd better head out. Time is a-wasting," he said, returning Nidoking to his Pokeball. "To Rustboro City we go!"

Earlier that very day, like forty minutes ago Ampersand hung up the pokenavi he had used to call the girl with the Aipom to offer her some advice. Leaning back into his seat he continued to watch the group of trainers scamper around the area. Outside the window a group of Pidgeys were sleeping his presence wearing down there energy. It was always like this so that was why it was so interesting to see the Aipom so full of energy around him. It was strange to see pokemon so full of life around him. Just as he was lost on his thoughts the buzz of his pokenavi sounded shaking him out of his thoughts. Taking it out of his pockets he flicked it open. "Hello."
"Ah Ampersand. It has been a while since I have heard your voice." Came the voice from over the phone. Over all the person sounded pretty warm but there was a slightly dark undertone.
"Oh!" Ampersand let out a surprised noise, it really had been a while since he had spoken to any of the other members. "Yes it has been a while. Anything I can do for you?" He asked with a small smile on his face.
"Ah well if you are asking I think there is something." There was a chuckle from the other side of the line. "I heard you were out and about instead of taking care of your little gang. So I figured you would be the best to ask to do this. A chair for our little group just opened and there is someone I would like you to ask to join."
Ampersand frowned slightly but didn't say something. The only reason a chair would open up would be because someone died. Shrugging it off Ampersand shifted the phone slightly and changed his seat on the couch. "Yeah shot I can do that. Who did you have in mind?"
"The Rocket leader, Giovanni." The voice over the phone sudjested.
"Mmm," Ampersand hummed slightly. "All right, I can do that." He said glancing out the window spotting the young trainer with the Aipom. "There is some one I am going to bring with me. I wont tell them what I am doing. I just feel the need to keep an eye on them."
"That is fine. Just make sure you don't break any of the rules."
Chuckling slightly Ampersand shook his head and hung up the line not answering. Looking out the window Ampersand spotted the two battling a young kid with a Paras. He watched for a bit before seeing the powder come out and hit the Aipom. Maybe he would go get some items to cure that in order to try to convince her to come with him.

It seemed that the other trainers on the road were mind readers that day, and none of them paid any real notice to the duo as they passed by, and they made it to Mauville City in record time. Keegan looked around, not surprised to see that nothing had changed, and he sighed. "You know, I was just here not that long ago getting my own bike repaired. I could take your bike to Rydell's for you and you could run to the Pokemon Center with our Pokemom, then that way we can meet back there and see about evolving Tierra." He took the Swellow and Graveler's Pokeball and Great Ball from the strap and held them out to her. "It'll take a while before your bike is fixed anyways so we might as well kill some time."
He couldn't help but remember that time that he and Dante had battled the guys wearing the ridiculous animal costumes, and a snicker escaped his throat. He missed hanging out with Dante; it had only been a few days but they'd had a hell of a lot of fun in such a short time. The scene in Celadon came to mind then, and he frowned, hoping that Kasiya would never find out about that incident. "So, good idea? Bad idea?" he asked, trying to get his brain to change subjects.

"That's a good idea," Kasiya said with a nod, taking the two spheres into her hand. She put them in her pocket, and then took the compact bike from her bag, and handed it to Keegan. "I think I remember where it is," she murmured, looking around. The Pokemon Center wasn't in view but she did see a sign with various attractions pointing the way. Oh yeah, they have a game corner here, Kasiya thought, looking around again. "Well, I'm gonna head to the Pokemon Center," she said, as a second thought taking the money the boys had given her to fix her bike and handing it to Keegan as well. She waved and went on her way, making sure she could feel Artemis and Tierra's Pokeballs in her pocket.
Mauville was just how she remembered it, bustling and busy, but not quite with the same intensity of Celadon or Saffron City. It wasn't hard to get to the Pokemon Center, and she quickened her pace as she neared it, the excitement of the day racing through her like a speeding Rapidash. As she stepped through the sliding doors, she'd been busy looking over her shoulder, trying to glimpse the Mauville Gym, and she ran smack into somebody who happened to be heading out at the same time. The two were both knocked over backwards, Kasiya landing on her butt with a thud, her Pokeballs coming free from her belt and clattering all over the place. The other person went toppling over as well, the sound of coins spilling everywhere as she landed.
"Hey, watch where you're going, eh?" the girl's voice was a bit annoyed, but gentle at the same time. She pulled herself to her feet, brushing herself off. "You made me spill my coins everywhere!"
Kasiya grimaced, and looked up sheepishly. "I'm sorry, I didn't watch where I was go-" she stopped as she realized that she recognized the face, and that all-too familiar poof of red hair. "Flannery!"

Miharu bent down and picked up the Park Ball from the ground and examined it closely. "I can't believe we actually captured Pinsir," she said, sighing happily. She turned towards Aska, who was looking quite exhausted and smiled. "You were wonderful," she told the Pidgeotto, patting her on the head. "Let's head back now. I think I'm too tired to continue, and I know you are." Aska gave an indignant scoff but didn't argue, and allowed Miharu to return her to her Pokeball as the young trainer set off towards the main building.
Several trainers had retired already, and upon her arrival, she looked at the one ball that contained the Butterfree a bit sadly. "Take care of yourself," she said, placing the ball in a tray of extra Pokemon that were to be released back outside once the competition was through. She turned over her unused Park Balls as well as her Pinsir. "Give me back my Pokemon now," she said sharply to the guard she'd given them to. He didn't say a word as he gave them back, and the small girl headed over to an empty seat to await the end of the contest and the announcement of the winners.

Once all the contestants had gathered and turned in their captures, another twenty minutes or so went by while the inspectors checked over each and every one of them before making their decision. Finally, after what seemed like forever the chairman of the National Park committee stepped forward, microphone in hand.
"First of all, we'd like to say thank you to everyone who participated in this week's Bug-Catching Contest. We had a good turnout today, and a lot of good Pokemon were captured, making our job a tough one when it came to narrowing down the winners. If your name is called, then please come up to the front of the room." He held up a sheet of paper, and cleared his throat before he began to read.
"Coming in third place, with 319 points, we have the lovely Robin, who captured a rare Yanma! You will be awarded with five fresh berries of your choice for you or your Pokemon. Good work!
"In second place, with 345 points is William, who captured a Beedrill. Your prize is this bag of Silverpowder, an item to boost the power of Bug-type attacks. Great job indeed!
"And finally, the moment you all have been waiting for! With a whopping 372 points, having captured a Pinsir, we have Miharu! For winning the contest, we would like to award you with this: A Water Stone! Congratulations!" He held up a small box with a gleaming blue stone resting safely inside, looking as though pure water had been trapped within. "There are refreshments for all of our contestants, and we would once again like to thank you all for your participation. We hope to see you again next time!"

((Woohoo I won!not that anyone even noticed -_-))
"See you soon then." Keegan took the bike and the cash and made his way towards the bike repair shop, and stepped inside. He was careful to avoid tripping over anything this time, and set Kasiya's bike on the counter before ringing the bell for service.
"Just a sec," he heard from the back room, and a few seconds later the same man who'd previously fixed Keegan's Acro Bike appeared. "You again?" he asked, eyeing the damaged bicycle and glaring at Keegan. "What the hell do you do with your bike, run it over with cars for fun?" He put his hands on his hips, continuing to glare daggers at the redhead.
"Whoa," Keegan said defensively, holding up his hands. "This bike ain't mine, it's a friend of mine's." He turned around, pointing to his own bike still strapped to his back. "See?"
"Oh..." the man studied them both closelly while adjusting his glasses. "I see. Sorry 'bout that, but you wouldn't be the first repeat customer to be pretty rough on their bikes. And rough is an understatement."
"Sorry to hear that," Keegan frowned, looking at the ruined front end of Kasiya's bike. "This was an accident, really. We were really lucky she wasn't hurt."
"Hmm," the man nodded, taking it towards the back. Keegan put the money on the counter, leaning in on his elbows. The man came back and put the cash in the register, now polishing his glasses on a fairly dirty looking cloth. "A few hours at most," he said quickly. "Maybe a few more if you'd like a new paint job."
"Go for it," Keegan said. "We're not really in a big hurry anyways." He then left the shop, stopping to stretch his arms and look around. "To the Pokemon Center I go," he said to himself, and began to head in the proper direction at a regular pace.

((I noticed...))
Hearing the announcement Robin quickly went down the stairs just in time to hear the results. When the announcer said that she had taken third place Robin felt a wave of amazement flow through her. She had not entered to win anything but she had anyway. Letting out a happy squeak Robin jumped up and down happily, she wished Luffy had come down with her, he was to busy purring under Ampersands hand. Still Robin was happy and went up to collect her new pokemon and prize, two Sitrus berries and three Lum berries were her choice. Putting the berries away, in a Luffy safe case, Robin took her Yanma outside and let the small bug pokemon out. Appearing in a flash the small pokemon came out of the pokeball hovering easily in the air. Smiling at him Robin reached out and pet the Yanma. "Welcome to the team." She cheerfully welcomed the pokemon. Hearing that the Yanma chirped happily and did a small flip in the air before settling himself on her arm. "So how would you like a name?" She asked not wanting to give him one if he didn't want it. Lucky for her the small bug seemed to like this idea and nodded its head happily. Grinning again Robin looked the small bug over before deciding on the name, the goggle like eyes helping her come to it. "How does Razputin sound?" She asked. The Yanma thought of it for a second turning his head this way and that before nodding in agreement.
That all set Robin reached into her bag and pulled out one of her newly acquired Sitrus berries. "Here, don't eat it right now, save it until you need to use it ok?" She asked.
Taking it into one of his small little 'hands' Razputin nodded and did a small little salute with one of his other 'hands' the look on his face as if he was taking on a special mission.
Giggling somewhat Robin nodded giddy with success she headed back upstairs, Ampersand had said he wanted to ask her something anyway. Excited with her success she didn't notice the closer to the top of the stairs and to where Ampersand was sitting, the more and more drowsy Razputin seemed to get. She didn't notice anything really until she was a few feet away and Razputin fell from her arm and onto the floor fast asleep. "Ak! Raz!"
