Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kira smoothly and quickly untangled the Zubat from her flowers, casting the bouquet aside. "You poor thing.... It's ok, you're safe here...." Gently, she gathered the Zubat in her arms and looked up to see Fenrir and his new friends. She chuckled a bit, then looked back down at the Zubat, stroking it's head gently. She felt a little awkward, not use to having such contact with Pokemon, especially one that probably didn't belong to any one.

If the Zubat hadn't managed to completely exhaust itself, it'd probably be trying to attack Kira right now...as it was...that would have to wait while its strength returned, as slowly as that might be. Chirping weakly and still panting, the Zubat was pleased to at least be free from the flowers now. That, plus her soothing tone were doing wonders to calm the panicked Pokemon...though it was still far from happy about the current situation.

The Stunky had finally deemed to try the candy offered...and seemed quite pleased with the decision.

Meanwhile, the Rattata was pawing at Fenrir's 'head spikes' curiously. Until the scent of candy reached his nostril over the scent of Kool-Aid and paste. CANDY! The Pokemon leapt, looking as if Fenrir was its new best friend.

Craziness indeed. But then again, that had been the whole point of the plan, right? Okay, not some Pokemon's plans...that was food...but some...

The air seemed to shimmer in front of Tara for a moment...then...a figure seemed to materialize out of the air.

Fenrir smiled at the Stunky's reluctant acceptance of the candy. "See, I told ya it was good! I bet you feel more settled down now, huh? Or at least better than before..." he said, content he'd managed to appease the little stinker. It always made him feel bad to see Pokemon as distressed as that one had been...

Meanwhile, Fenrir allowed the Rattata to examine him, and paw at his stiffly spiked hair. He was sure that stuff wouldn't wash out anytime soon...to his knowledge, glue didn't wash out easy. No matter, he liked the spikes. Apparently, the Rattata did too! But what it seemed to like more was the candy Fen has offered.

He caught the Rattata as it leaped down, just to make sure it didn't hurt itself. He let go afterwards, not wanting the little guy to feel cornered. He knew those teeth could leave a fierce bite! Plus, he didn't want to scare off his new friend just yet- plus he had a soft spot for the little rats.

He offered out the piece of sweet candy to the Rattata, leaving it on the ground as he had with the Stunky. "You like candy? I got plenty of it! It is good, huh?" he smirked. "Ah, this is the best party ever, I'd have to say- barring the ones we used to have back in Lavender, that is. Wouldn't you say this is nice?"

As people began to calm down- and attempted to calm down the little invaders with varying success- Quil himself began to settle, literally and figuratively. The Typhlosion lowered himself back to all fours, no longer considering his full height to be neccessary, and his fur began to smooth. Well, as much as it could. It was naturally not quite smooth.

Although he kept a wary eye out for 'threats', and he was far from as calm as many people would like, Quil was no longer a danger to everyone around him- for now.

That didn't mean that he did not become curious about how these little pokemon had gotten in. From everyone's reactions, including the lone guard's, they did not belong. Quietly, or as quietly as a 175 pound pokemon could be, Quil began moving along the edges of the room, searching vaguely for the place they'd entered by.

Arianna frowned and moved towards wall, keeping an eye on the events, "Pokemon....Wonder what happened...?" She was confuised. She took off her gloves and the chains, putting them upon a near by table, in easy reach in case they were needed, "Are they...Nah....But..."

Kira looked down at the Zubat and felt terrible. She really had no idea what she was doing, and the pokemon didn't seem to like her very much. "I'm sorry..." she whispered softly. "I'm not a trainer, I'm a behaviorist.... I really don't know what to do...." She looked down at the Zubat and sighed miserably; today just wasn't her day....

Fenrir had resigned himself to sitting with the two Pokemon, generally making sure no one stepped on them or dropped anything on them. Even though Fenrir was a fan of running around and generally being a spaz...he apparently did have the capability for sitting still, especially when dealing with Pokemon, apparently. He was mostly unaware of Kira's desire for his help with the Zubat, though- he was oblivious like that.

The Stunky seem relaxed now, back to a state of low odor. He bet it only smelled as half as bad as it did because it had been so worked out, and had sprayed earlier. All and all, it didn't seem like a bad sort. He'd have to look up the name and some info on it when he had time. He liked finding out about new Pokemon.

He was pulled from his thoughts as the Rattata became active again, pawing at Fenrir's coverall pockets. Ah, more candy? He pulled some out and unwrapped it, offering it to the little purple rat. Purple...such a nice color. Maybe that was why he liked hanging with these guys!

He pulled another piece out and set it by the Stunky, just in case it fancied another piece- he wanted to be fair, after all, and at least offer.

"I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but take it easy on the candy. Take it from me- this stuff can make you sick if you eat too much." he said, addressing his new 'friends' (though he was speaking more to the Rattata, truth be told).

As the Typhlosion roared, Fenrir whipped around. He was still crouched in front of his two 'friends', and they were safely out of blast range so he wasn't too worried...he just didn't want them to be worried either. They were further from the crowd too...and hopefully further from the chaos that would ensue as guests scrabbled out of the way.

"It's okay guys, we're out of range...just stay calm and pick at your candy!" he said, trying to reassure them. If that big guy did come any closer though...he'd have to try and move his pals. Hopefully candy would be enough to coax them if the Typhlosion turned their way...

Samantha had been watching the craziness with a mixture of amusement and concern. This could get out of hand easily...no matter how tame these Pokemon may seem now. They were still wild, presumably...and not necessarily used to humans. They were likely more interested in the food. As long as they didn't get the two confused.

"Anya? Are you feeling be--" Samantha had turned back to check on the girl, but froze mid-turn, eyes wide. Holy shi--

"ANYA! MOVE NOW!" Without a second thought...and eerily similar to an event with a certain Gyarados and a certain street kid in a hallway...Samantha reacted by throwing herself between an angry, rampaging Pokemon's attack and a helpless young person she barely knew.

Fate wouldn't be kind enough to smile on her twice, it seemed.

The flames roared by over head, close enough to instantly melt the plastic wings on Samantha's back as she used her body to shield Anya from the flames and from the resulting impact of her tackle on the floor. She grimaced in pain, thinking only that she'd never forgive herself if Anya had been hurt in the incident...even as the melted plastic continued to drip from the blackened wires onto her bare back.

"Anya? Are you...okay?"
