Once again, Vanni realized she didn't yet know the extent of Momo's strangeness. The girl thought she was a Pokemon, of course, but she'd only materialized in the Mainframe? Hmm... "I see. If you don't mind me asking," and here Vanni's voice was gentle and soft, "But how long can you remember being around?
Quite frankly, Culann was about to go sleep. And yet... he could feel those eyes on him. Those strange... crazed... eyes. Gods, why was he surrounded by crazy people and Pokemon constantly? When the Totodile started poking him, he tensed up. He had to stay calm, he had to stay calm, Vanni probably wouldn't approve of starting a fight... instead, he began to growl. It was a low, rumbling noise that hummed through his bones. If the creature had any self-preservation instinct, he would stop.
No fighting, no stats!

With all the commotion ...after she had gain her new friend ...she couldn't help noticing that she was the only one ...except for the cripple that bother to get theirs. Instead, and her eyes were shining then ...she notices that one of the girl's was letting one other trainer use ...her tm to give her fire dog more power.
She would see that and start smiling as she walks over ...for once acting as civil as possible. She could see that as a very useful item, and she only needed to borrow it for one pokemon as she walks over slowly to Momo. She wasn't sure if she could ask for her aid or not, but she decide to try.
"Excuse me ...I couldn't help noticing the tm you use. I was wondering if ...maybe I could trade for the usage of that ...I don't have a lot, but, I do have a pokemon that could greatly benefit from it ...so ....please may I use that Tm"
Nakano would literally bow as she looks at the girl as Eclipse follows behind her. The Absol would c**k her head as she looks at the assortment of pokemon. Stronger than her ...she sense, but then again, she had just joined, and she knew with time she would become stronger.
Momo stopped to think about it. Strange. How long had she been here? The girl began spinning around in a slower circle then usual. Spinning always helped keep her focused. The girl spun to a stop, smiling. "I remember meeting you...I think it was sometime before then... Remember we were....somewhere...in the.....internet or technology?" she said, while continuing trying to remember. There was a slight spark on her shoulder, announcing someone else's arrival. The Rotom glanced at the ninja that had come to them. It seemed that Momo seemed to miss the gist of what the ninja was saying. "Hi, I'm Momo the Spinda! What's your name? Would you like to be friends?" she said smiling brightly.
Even though it was obvious danger was around, Yoshi didn't seem to care...at all. The blue pokemon got down all fours, claws at the ground and stopped poking. Instead of turning away, he glared back and then let out a mock growl of his own! Growling a couple of times in succession, he began darting around. Jumping up to waddle on two legs again, he then started bouncing. Around and around he bounced, grinning manically. Letting loose a half quack, half laugh he then jumped! For a second, it was like he had vanished!- but it was not so. Instead he landed squarely on the Growlithe's back and then dug his claws securely into the fire pokemon's ruff. Talk about crazy...

The small girl nodded as she listened; time did seem to go strangely around here, and with Momo's addle mind, it probably did not flow so much as eddy in a maelstrom of madness. "I see... so nothing before then? Sorry for poking around, darling, I was just trying to see if I could..." Vanni would trail off as the other girl approached. She hadn't caught this one's name before, but she seemed all right. Admittedly, she couldn't help feeling a pang of guilt; accepting Momo's generosity was bringing in others. Hopeful, nothing bad would happen.
For a moment, Culann hoped the creature was done poking him, and had moved onto something more fruitful. "FOR THE HORDE!" he roared, suddenly leaping up and flipping over. He righted himself, shaking like a wet dog in fury. "HOW DARE YOU INTERUPT THE SCRITCHES, YOU FIEND! YOU OMADHAUN!" In one fluid movement, he bucked the Totodile off, sending him flying.
Vanni sighed, placing one hand on her cheek "Boys..."
"Umm...." Nakano would raise her head as she looked up to see the girl was spinning in circles. She would then stop, as even Eclipse gave her a strange look. Nakano didn't know what to think ...they had met before ..sure, not just at the terminal with the computer glitch but at the tournament as well. The fact that she didn't remember her threw Nakano for a bit of a loop as she tries to figure out what to say, but decided ...as the girl continued onwards that maybe it's for the best she choose the most reasonable thing.
"Hello ...Momo ....." Nakano had to control herself there, because, the girl just called herself a Spinda. Spinda the last time she had checked were bear like pokemon that were a cream and orangy kind of color, and this girl was definitely not a Spinda. So, how do you answer that ....she decided just to continue like she hadn't heard the last, or that she had never met this girl before.
"it's a pleasure to meet you ...I am Nakano Hinode, and I wouldn't mind being your friend. Umm...I would love to be your friend."
She declares deciding to restate her answer. Though she wasn't exactly sure if it was safe to be her friend at the moment, because what sane person call themselves a Spinda. Though, they had fought together ...sorta... just a moment ago. She seemed to be normal then, so maybe this is a sort of after battle break down.
She will be fine later.
Thus, it was probably okay to be her friend.
Eclipse would look at herself and sigh.
Her kind are called the disaster pokemon, but that is because they can see trouble coming a mile away. They weren't a mile, but she could see it clearly as a bit sweat drop ran down her trainer's face.

The Guard member was dressed in a Spinda onsie suit..so technically it looked like a child pretending to be a Spinda. Regardless she scratched lightly at an 'ear' on top of her head. "You would love to be my friend?! That's just great! Look Vanni! I have a new friend! It's nice to meet you Nakano!" Blessfully oblivious to the shinobi sweat dropping, she then reached out a 'paw' to hold hands with both Nakano and then one out to Vanni. The girl attempted to start spinning with them both while holding hands to start a spinning circle of friendship! Yes! This was the best way to do things!
The Totodile let out more quacking and laughter mixtures as the Growlithe surprised him by jumping in the air. The fire dog did a backflip and somehow....the water type had managed to stay on! Shocking! However when the Growlithe landed, the Totodile was unprepared for the bucking. Harmlessly the fire dog's words brushed off his blue scaled coat, unaffecting him in the least. As the pokemon bucked, the Totodile went flying high into the air. Wow, that had been one powerful throw! Falling to the ground, he spun in various directions on the way down. One minute it looked like he was going to fall onto his head, diving to the ground- the next it was over. The pokemon had miraculously fallen and landed......on his feet. With a quack, he laughed before tripping over a random rock on the ground. Toppling over, he fell on said rock and hit his head hard with a loud thump. Falling down, he laid there looking like he was dead.

Vanni continued to sit calmly, watching the Pokemon-induced ruckus with a look of serene bliss on her visage. It was only when Momo addressed her that she would respond, "How lovely, darling," in a sweet, droll voice. She barely reacted as the Spinda reacted down and pulled her up, spinning her in a circle. Indeed, Vanni didn't really mind the strange spin of friendship... but one rotation was enough. Once done, she released Momo's hand, and came to a stop, skirt flaring, then setting. She adjusted her top hap, giving a strangely enigmatic smile. "Was that the dance of your people?" she asked innocently.
Culann blinked as the Totodile hit the ground. Huh, he'd managed to stay upright! Maybe this creature was a worthy foe after all... and then it tripped over a rock. The dog whimpered, annoyed. Irritated, he reached out with a paw, and poked the body. Role reversal!
No fighting, no stats!

The Absol barely managed to get out of the way of the spinning laughing mass. It would seem that Nakano had been accepted ...though the girl had no clue what she had gotten herself into ...as she was pretty much tugged off her feet for a second ....as she surprise herself by not falling on her face in the spin. One rotation was enough for her as well ...as she broke it literally by losing her balancing and end on up her rump.
"Yay, we are friends now ...so can I ask you favor?"
Nakano is a very single minded person. Though for a shinobi that wasn't too good of a trait as she sighs openly. Rubbing again as she finally decided to stand back up as she looks at the girl in question ...seeing what sort of an answer she would get.
Her eyes glancing towards the other girl who had managed to get out of the spin a lot more gracefully than here.
"Umm...seems if she and I are friends ....that would make us friends by connection."
Nakano would address Vanni with a tad bit of suspicion. They both were asking questions, and she figured so as not to overload the slight derange girl it was best to put her focus on some place or someone else.
"The name is Nakano Hinode, and you are?"
She had met Vanni before, but they were never formerly introduced. She figured it was a good as time as any to end that.
Momo had lost focus for a second. Instead her attention was brought onto Yoshi. At first she had watched the Totodile get thrown into the air. As he fell, he landed successfully and she was about to start clapping. As he hit the ground and laid there, she was about to rush over. As the minutes passed, the pokemon leapt up perfectly fine. Phew, that was a close one.
The Totodile didn't move as the Growlithe poked a paw at it. It laid there on the ground so still for a few minutes that it seemed like the blow had killed him. It didn't look like he was breathing or anything. Suddenly out of nowhere, he leapt upward and jumped into some nearby bushes. When he came out, he had a monocle over one eye and a wooden pipe in his mouth. The pokemon walked calmly over, keeping an eye on the fire dog. ">Hello there. Nice weather we're having. Rather nice day to be out and about. I say ol' chap, could you help fellow out? I'd sincerely appreciate if you would find me a book to read.<" he said in a deep voice that sounded like those that highly intelligent people usually have. It hinted at the high intelligence hidden in his mind that had been locked away.

Vanni tilted her head to the side as the other girl suddenly addressed her. Not that Vanni really minded, of course-- despite her off-putting aura, she rather enjoyed social interaction, even if she tended to scare people off. She smiled brightly to this Nakano, adjusting her cane. "By the transitive property, I think you're right!"" she exclaimed brightly. She curtseyed to the girl, a brief dip. "I'm Giavanna Alistair, but Vanni's fine. It's a pleasure to meet you, Nakano."
Culann leapt back a bit as the Totodile rushed about. Good, the crazy was just... wait, where had that monocle come from? What the everloving hell? The Growlithe simply stared at the suddenly erudite Pokemon, jaw hanging open. For a moment, he simply gaped. Then-- "Uh... um... bwuh?" he answered intelligently.
Vanni noticed the scene-- not that it was strange, but that Momo wasn't paying attention. "Darling," she remarked, lightly tapping her on the shoulder with her cane. "Your new friend has a favor to ask."
Nakano did another formal bow. Shinobi never curtsy ...it meant that your knees were bent, and it makes it almost impossible to spring away in such a position. Anyway, she would relieved that Vanni seemed to be sane ....as she rose with her, and was even happier when she tried to get back Momo's attention.
The girl was as bad as .....a Spinda.
The thought somehow felt wrong ...even just in her head as she waited to see what Momo's reaction would be. Eclipse watched the sideshow with mild interest ...as long as they kept their distances she was fine as she looked on with an air of indifferences.

Momo looked apologetic as she turned back to focus once Vanni spoke and then tapped her with a cane. Oops! Smiling brightly, the spinning had been fun!- she then looked curiously at the ninja. "So how can I help you?"
The Totodile looked at the fire dog curiously. ">Ah, you are of the Growlithe species. Average height ranging at 2"04 and weight 41.9 pounds. Gender rate is 75 percent male, 25 percent female. Very interesting, indeed. Ah, but let's not go over such minor details. As I said, could you help a fellow out and point to the nearest book store. I'm rather partial to Wartortle and Peace, if you know where to find it.<" The Totodile took a puff of the wooden pipe in it's mouth and some bubbles puffed out the top.

The moment of truth had finally arrived ..and Nakano wouldn't back off from it.
"I was wondering if I could use that tm of yours ....to teach my Vulpix that move , Flame Charge."
She had been paying close attention ...and she knew exactly what it is and what it did.
"I am willing to trade for the Tm completely ..if I must, but I rather just use it. I don't like the idea of carrying something like that that can make me a target."
Nakano would explain completely. She didn't care if the girl though this was all for the Tm, because it, was, but .....she really needed it. Carrot was stronger physically than power wise, and having that Tm would give him an edge. He would be able to use physical attacks as well as special ones. That would help balance him out, so it was worth the effort and the risk.

Vanni would simply nod again, and rest back on her laurels as the other girls talked.
Culann, meanwhile, was still shocked. Where had all the stats come from? What was this thing even saying? H hated to admit it, but he was out of his league. He needed someone experienced with crazy. He needed... his trainer! "Do something!" Culann yelped, tugging her dress. "He's acting weird! Weirder than usual! Where did he get that pipe?" The poor Growlithe sounded desperate.
"Fine, fine," murmured Vanni, turning to face Yoshi. With a twirl of her cane, she began to chat. "Why do you want to read some of Tolstoy's dreck?" she remarked, glancing curiously at the Totodile. "The man uses symbolism like a brick! If you're looking for a proper Kanto treasure, I'd suggest 'The Catcher in the Raichu', or even 'The Bonfire of the Caterpies'!" At this moment, she wanted nothing more than to discuss literature with the strange Pokemon. Nothing. More.
Culann's wail of despair could probably have ben heard outside the dreamworld, so loud was it.
Surprisingly what would bring an end to the Chikorita's outburst was neither trainer, nor the eventual obliteration of the Omanyte's shell, but rather Genn. Slipping his tail between the Omanyte and the ground, hooking one of the ancient creature's tentacles with surprising dexterity, and heedless of the fact the Chikortia was still 'attached', Genn would lift Gillies to roughly eye level. For a moment silence would pass between the two, before the Steel-type's entire body would begin to rumble with mirth, his eyes twinkling as he proclaimed ">Interesting! I like you little strange one!<" Mouth opening in his own ridged approximation of a grin, Genn would lower his tail slightly closer to ground level before attempting to rather briskly shake Bellona off of Gillies. Apparently this had turned into a team sport!
Fable would remain oblivious to the events which had nearly transpired, and frankly he'd be all the happier for being ignorant to the near vore. Instead his attention would be situated firmly upon the newly hatched Eevee. Another one to learn and grow strong under the master. No no, Raven had said it himself. They were partners. He, and all those others Raven had encounter would grow stronger with him, not beneath him.
The newly born Eevee would gaze at the world around him with some scepticism. Surely this chaotic mess of lunatics couldn't be the long awaited 'real world' of which he'd been dreaming. Certainly this had to be some form of nightmare brought on by the rotting or destabilization of the calcium carbonate casing of which he called 'home'. As if to dash the Normal-Type's hopes of this being some sort of lucid dream, Raven's arms would thrust out, grasping the Eevee under the pits of his forelegs and lifting him into the air before proclaimed "I'll call you Siegfried." Now the newly dubbed Siegfried had no clue as to whom this male was to give him a name, but it didn't appear as if he were being given a choice in the matter, and beside that the male had the scent of his egg all over him, so he'd merely have to accept it.
Finding himself placed back down upon the ground again, and upon further inspection of the world around him, would realize just how small he was by comparison. In an instant all the vigour which had previously fuelled his attitude would drain away from the little Pokemon. His tail would begin to sway nervously. Oh my there were quite a few other creatures here wasn't there? He...he supposed now that he had a name, he should introduce himself? With a timid gaze Siegfried would look about. Where should be begin?
His attention would first land upon the tremendous metallic serpent, the beast was difficult to miss after all...no no, far too large for his first greeting. Perhaps...ah! Siegfried's tail would straighten like someone had thrust a ruler through it, his eyes locked upon a rather rough looking member of his own species. Yes, there was an ideal place to begin. Surely he would have the most in common with a member of his kind, making for an easy and relaxed introduction!
Lifting himself up onto all four of his paws the Eevee would stroll quite rigidly towards his counterpart. ">Greetings...<" He began a bit mechanically, briefly shaking his head as he reminded himself he was not a Magneton, "...er...Hello..<" He a bit more smoothly before continuing his introduction ">I am Siegfried. A pleasure to meet your acquaintance Mr....?<" The Normal-Type would then tilt his head faintly to one side, hoping for the other Eevee to complete the sentence with an introduction of his own.
Elsewhere, within the vicinity of a of a certain Rotom in the possession of a certain crazed Spinda, a perfectly ordinary, entirely unsuspicious solid gold mask was laying in the grass as if screaming 'stare and/or attempting to possess me', and it mostly certainly was not a clever distraction to take everyone's eyes off of their belongings!
Amidst all the commotion, especially with so much attention drawn toward the new 'birth', Raven would fail to notice that during his stumble the last and only occupied PokeBall upon his belt has released it's contents. Slipping away like a particularly, and more so surprisingly stealthy purple shadow, Valvatorez made his way over to the trunk of the tree of dreams. Using specialized claws well adapted to the act of climbing, the toxic tailed bat had made his way to the upper most branches of the towering sentinel. Once there, without shedding a tear, nor uttering a word lest it alert those below him, the Gligar would promptly throw himself off. Skin flaps held tight between his arms and body, his tail kept straight, the clinically depressed Pokemon would plummet towards the ground like a particularly aerodynamic stone.
Unfortunately, at least for the suicidal Gligar, the world would once again prove the Pokemon was in fact not master of his own fate. Rather then skull bashing the ground, the Gligar's pointed head would collide with something of equal density; namely the head of a formerly quacking, presently annunciating Totodile.
