Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Believe me," Robin said with a crooked grin, again considering the Leoni brood. "You couldn't possibly have been worse than some people I've met."

Chopin continued to revel in the attention, turning her head to guide Aya's hand to her cheeks and chin in turn -- but then the sleigh swerved, and she sank the claws of all four paws into Robin's thighs.

"Whoa -- ow!" The violinist winced at his Meowth's painful survival instincts even as he grabbed at the sleigh's sides himself, clutching Elizabeth tightly to his chest and pinning his backpack to the floor with one foot. He stared at the pair of Delibird who might or might not be attacking, and winced again as Very's Will-O-Wisp flew past his eyes.

Other Pokémon were retaliating against the wild ones, but Chopin was more interested in simply riding out the incident, firmly attached to her human's jeans and flesh. She pinned her ears back and hissed as one Delibird bounced close by, but made no move to engage.

"It seems like we're not in a hurry to leave by the way we're dressed," she laughed seeing that they wore more than they needed. "Thanks for saving me a seat." She sat down and felt the sleigh pull them forward as the group of pokemon started on their workout to reach Seatance Valley.

Chris reached down to scratch Tesla's ears and patted her on her back. "I caught this Deerling as I was heading to Katarina City from Nimbasa City. You've heard of that place right? It has a couples only Ferris wheel and a music threatre." Just then a flock of wild pokemon ambushed the sleigh and she flinched at the sight. There was one, no two Delibirds that popped into view. She got up from her seat and called out to her pokemon to help Tesla out. "Kiwi. use faint attack!" The Deerling ran up to up and threw a sucker punch, dealing some damage to the wild bird, and Chris quickly threw a pokeball at it. "Phew that was a close call. I hope the runners up front were able to dodge all this."


Pokeball go! I want that first Delibird!

While the trainers were distracted by the two Delibird, another growling form emerged from the sides of the forest, and began to run behind the sleigh. It snapped it's jaws at the humans riding it. If anyone in the sleigh were to look back, they would see:

"I think there's something behind us now, too!" The Captain called out.

In the midst of the chaos Aya reached over to chopin and began rubbing between the Meowths shoulder blades cooing to her. "Here love he needs those legs of his to walk" She murmurs to the cat moving from one handed scritches to two with her second hand underneath the Meowths neck to calm her in a gentle massaging motion moving around the soft fur.

"Are you alright?" She speaks quietly into robins ear as she looks behind them concerned. What she sees draws her attention fully the birds conveniently forgotten for a moment cease to exist to her as she looks up at her partner pokemon. 'Very...' she speaks in a whisper so low that when the fox looks up spotting the pooch and immediately leaps off of Robins shoulders she is slightly surprised. She raises her hand signaling the fox forward and flips a Ball out of her pocket as Very uses flame charge at the new intruder. Throwing the ball with a slight tilt in her wrist she turns to sit down before even thinking about whether it hit it's target and laughing hard drops down next to Robin with a smile.

"I'm sure you wouldn't think it ." She says continuing to chuckle "But i'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie with a soft spot for Mammals" She rubs Very's cheek as the chirruping fox comes back to lay along robins shoulders as a warm auburn scarf again. "If your too warm you can knock her off" Aya says nonchalantly laughing.


Pokeball go! I want that Pooch!

A faint dusting of red brushed Jack's face as Xander teased him. He was supposed to be the trainer. Viper how ever had a habit of taking matters into her own 'hands'. Not that the teen minded it, he was more of a follower than a leader. It was still a bit awkward for him to lead his pokemon in battles. Even if it was a bit backward compared to the normal trainer-pokemon dynamic he was glad he could count on Viper to kick him into gear when things needed to be done.

Hearing a growl the boy looked towards the back of the sleigh and saw a poochyena trying to bite people. It seemed that the pokemon were aggressive, was it normal for wild pokemon to try to bite peoples faces off and blow them up? He dug around in his bag for a pokeball which he promptly through at the angry dog pokemon. Hopefully he or someone else would catch it before someone got bit. Although truth be told he was hoping he'd miss. While he was sure viper would protect him, he got the feeling that the poochyena might bite him if he ended up catching it.


Pokeball go! I want that Pooch!

While many of the people were focused on the pokemon at the back or the sides of the sleigh, a blue and white creature darted from the underbrush. It streaked forward and started running at the head of the pack of pokemon pulling the sleigh. It gave a cheeky grin and stuck out its tongue at the pokemon behind it.

((This is the last pokemon in the swarm! You have until 7pm EST tonight to throw a pokeball before the RP will move on. Swarm pokemon will be distributed at the end of the event in February.))

With the grace of a Spinda, Lennyka just managed to turn about and catch the blurred swiftness of another Pokemon zip alongside the sleigh. "Ah!" the off-duty Rocket agent breathed. "D-Daffodil, try and stop it!"

The Raichu got up lazily from her lap and blinked bleary eyes up to her. Casting an indifferent glance to the Zangoose then her trainer, she ignored the situation and returned to being Lennyka's personal lap warmer. The blond grimaced.

"Arceus..." she breathed and, instead, tossed another one of her Pokeballs.

Pokeball go! I want that Zangoose!

Page whipped her head around so fast that she felt her neck pop. "Data! Zangoose!" She dug into her bag for a fresh pokeball. A shiney zangoose! Oh man her mother would be so excited if she brought that home!

Data turned and made a face at his trainer, aborting his next thunderbolt in a ripple of sparks. There was a sense of 'and you want me to do what?' about him. Data didn't have to bother thugh as Page drew a pokeball out and chucked it wildly at the zangoose.
