Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I love my obvious attempts to force conversation and stuff rofl ))

"Hmm? Oh, this? No, actually, but people almost always assume so. My mom tells me it used to belong to my father, and, to be honest with you," Kasiya looked at the floor again, her cheeks slowly turning pink, "I stole it out of my mom's room just before I started my journey." She continued to stare at the floor. "I know that makes me bad, but it's the only thing I have of his." Her fingers closed around the pendant tightly, and sighed deeply.

Kilik yawned on the train while continuing to pet his Eevee. "Are we there yet?" he groaned, shfiting positions. The Eevee followed his movement. His eyes halfway closed. "Stupid...train..." he yawned.

((HA! I knew my nicknames would spread. cool ))

Mike arose with a start to the sound of "Ding", signaling that his Pokemon were healed. He jumped off the couch and hurried up to Nurse Joy, took his Pokeball and immediatly released Nitro from the confines of the device.

Charmander looked as if not even a pebble hit him, Nurse Joy was a master at the healing arts. Mike dropped to his knees and gave Charmander a hug, nearly crushing the poor guy.

"Cha-aagghh!" choked Nitro as he wriggled to get free.

"Oh, sorry.." Nervously laughed Mike as he released his death grip.

The train finally began to slow down. A city was coming into view. The only light was coming from the Pokemon Center. It was a fairly small city. Off in the distance was a very large tower. "Wow...what is that?" he asked in awe.

"That...would be the Pokemon tower," said a polite old man. Kilik turned his attention from the window.

"Pokemon...tower?" he blinked.

"Yes. The place were the souls of all Pokemon are laid to rest." He nodded his head.

"Oh! Like Mount Pyre in Hoenn?" The old man nodded again. The boy looked down at his Eevee. "I don't want Eevee to die..."

"Relax, my boy. I'm sure he's young and healthy, much like yourself." Kilik smiled.

"We have approached Lavender Town. Thank you for using the Region Train system and have a nice night." The voice over the intercom blared. Kilik nodded, standing up with his Eevee. He waved so long to the old man and went out into the dark city, heading to the Pokemon Center to rest.

((EDITED))

"Oh, can I see your fire pokemon? Please, please, PLEASE?!" Mike asked with blaring enthusiasm, his Charmander equally excited and anxious.

Shiver, having been rocketed off the couch when Mike got up, was still withdrawn into his shell. He was a heavy sleeper, and his solid armor was enough to protect him from most damage.

"I don't know what he'll be like just yet," she told him truthfully. "He was acting very vicious and mean when I caught him."

"That's because he's been abused," Nurse Joy said, coming up behind Kasiya.

"What?" Kasiya gasped, staring at the Pokeball in her hand.

"He had suffered considerable damage before battling Pikachu," she explained, "but most of his wounds weren't Pokemon inflicted. He bit me as I was treating him," she said, holding out her arm, which was bandaged and still bleeding slightly.

"I'm sorry about that," Kasiya said, not really wanting to release him now.

"I'll be fine," Joy said. "It may take him some time to trust humans again, but he will open up to you eventually." She walked back behind the desk, and sat down, still looking exhausted.

Kasiya looked at Mike, her face rather pale. "Now what do I do?" she asked, looking fearful.
