Someplace New(Open/Mod)

Rikka tossed the ball again and smiled. Haunter had given up showing the other pokemon when he spotted a New pokemon coming toward the Oasis along with a person. Grinning he disappeared into the sand and popped up in front of the new person trying to lick him. They went about to pointing himself out in the sketch. Haunter grinned very proud then took off after the new pokemon to show the sketch to him. Moon stopped fetching the ball to watch Haunter try and lick someone. Tilting her head she watched him point himself out in the sketch then go after a pokemon who was running for the Oasis. Moon chuckled then ran after the ball with Night. Furret had given up the chase to go searching for something. Mostly looking for something shiny like his spoon.

Rikka sat up and looked behind her. Noticing a person she smiled and waved apparently not the least bit shy. Taking the ball she tossed it again for Night and Moon. Ralts walked up to Rikka to see who she was waving at. Abra followed along a bit more lazily and sat down again once they had reached Rikka.

Rikka blinked and watched the Gochimu run from her Haunter. The trainer even seemed a bit weirded out by her haunter. "Haunter! Get over here or I'm not drawing you again!" Blinking the Haunter looked to Rikka then the new people and sulked slightly before going back to Rikka. Staying next to her he flipped through the notebook to look at the drawings. Moon dropped the ball near Rikka and waited for it to be tossed again. Smiling Rikka tossed the ball and picked her pencil up and put it away in her pack. Cloud glanced at the new Trainer and pokemon and wondered slightly before he laid back in the sand. Kiki sat and stayed near her friend Abra. Furret jumped into the water then came back out soaking wet with a shiny rock. Going over to the Gochimu he offered the shiny rock to share with him.

Haunter looked at bit sad that he wasn't allowed to go and greet the Trainer and her pokemon. Sighing he disappeared into the sand where he could look at the sketch book by himself. He just wanted to show the trainer the picture Rikka had drawn of him. Rikka watched him disappear with the sketch book and sighed. Laying some food out for him she smiled at the trainer. "Hello. I'm Rikka."

Rikka watched the trainer and giggled when Night crawled up beside her. "Night. Your fine. Go play with Moon!" Night glanced at her then ran off to play with Moon who was keeping the ball away from him. Laying back Rikka looked to see if the food was gone yet. It was gone though Haunter wasn't showing himself now. "Nice to meet you Nero." Noticing Nero didn't seem to want to talk Rikka left it at that and held Poke food in her hand trying to get Haunter to give her sketch book back. Shaking her head she waited. Soon as he popped up she took her Sketch book and took off running. Haunter blinked and ate the food she dropped then went after Rikka. "Haunter~!" Rikka looked behind her and grinned. Looking forward she squeaked and fell backward as Haunter licked her. "I'm going to draw!" Sitting up she shook the sand from her hair and smiled. Getting up she walked back to her pack while Haunter floated around happy once more.

Furret chuckled and handed over the shiny rock. Diving back down he searched for a few more and crawled back up on to the sand. Watching the Gochimu he smiled. He liked the young pokemon but of course Raikiri usually like pokemon in general. Glancing the light off the rocks he had he smiled and ran up to Rikka to show he the shiny rocks. "Very Nice Raikiri." He nodded and put them in his pocket on the pack. Running back to the water he dove in and went looking for more. Ralts watched the actions of the other pokemon and let out a small smile. Abra by now had fallen asleep on the warm sand.

Rikka sat down by her pack again and flipped to a new page. Blinking she shook the sand out of her sketch book then looked up at Nero. Rikka smiled and shook her head. "No. But I figured I could use a Psychic pokemon on my team. Especially after I had a roof collapse on me while I was battling Haiiro." Smiling she watched the girl release a male Gardevoir. A shiny at that. Kiki looked up and noticed the Gardevoir then went back to watching the other pokemon.

Kiki seemed to be a bit withdrawn as she looked back at the shiny. ("Hello.") She moved closer to her Abra friend and looked over at Rikka. She watched her new trainer start to draw and looked about to see what she could be drawing. Abra opened one of his eyes and looked at the Gardevoir and let out a sigh. ("Hello.") He sat up and handed a piece of Poke food to Kiki. He liked her new name it suited her.

Raikiri popped up with a few more different colored rocks. Looking to the young pokemon he nodded. ("Yes. They are very pretty. Rikka even has a pocket that I can keep them in.") He smiled and swam over to the Gochimu and held out a blue and green shiny rock.

Rikka smiled and started on an out line of the Gochimu and her Furret. She liked her Furret cause he would share with anyone. In fact she was surprised that he hadn't gotten out his spoon to show the new pokemon. Looking up she noticed the Gardevoir talking with Kiki. Pulling out some Poke food she handed a bit to each psychic pokemon near her. "Cool. Probably a good thing I don't have my Cyndaquil. She would be pestering the pokemon with questions." Moon watched the pokemon and ran off with the ball. Night panted and followed after Moon trying to get it back. Using quick attack he tackled her to the ground and took the ball then ran away.

Kiki looked at the Gardevoir and listened to his question. ("Yes. Both Cloud and I are new. We decided a change of scene would be nice.") It was apparent Rikka hadn't forced them to be on her team. Rather she had let them choose to come with her. Kiki took the Poke food Rikka offered her and ate it rather slowly. Cloud took a look at the food then basically shoved it into his mouth which got a short laugh out of Kiki.

Raikiri tilted his head and listed to Gochimu. Chuckling he floated on his back in the water. ("I'm Raikiri by the way. What kind of things do you find?") Raikiri watched the light glance off the colorful rocks and smiled. He moved and watched the light reflect off the rock and onto the sand in a pretty red color.

Rikka smiled and started on the background a bit before going back to the details of the pokemon. "Actually Moon was my first Pokemon. My mother gave me her as soon as she hatched." Moon looked up as Rikka started to talk about her then went about Tackling the Eevee into the sand. Rolling her wrist a bit she went back to drawing in the details. Slowly the picture came together while Haunter watched over her shoulder. He figured she was pretty good at making pictures come together. And fast too. Haunter looked at the Gardevoir and wondered what he was doing.

Kiki watched the Gardevoir and listened. ("I don't think I will mind Traveling with Rikka. She is very nice.") She ate another piece of food and watched thought about her next answer. She nodded as his statement. Though she happened to have been abandoned by her last trainer. She had a feeling Rikka wouldn't be like that one. ("Rikka is very interesting and tends to get herself in weird situations. Like as Flare said while she was at the Arcane temple the Roof collapsed and would have been stuck in there if it weren't for a Ralts called Isa.")

Furret smiled and listened to Asa talk about the huge rock he had found. ("Well maybe if she will let you keep the small rocks. They are light and easy to carry around.") She chuckled then went on to tell Asa about the Abandoned Barracks and how he had found a shiny spoon. He used elaborate gestures while doing so.

Moon took the ball back and jumped into the water and swam to the other side. Night took one look at the water and ran along the sand to avoid having to get wet. Tackling Moon he tried to get the Ball back. Rikka smile and looked up at her Umbreon and Eevee. "Eevee was my second. I nursed him back to health and he just stayed with us. Cyndaquil my third because she wanted to travel and explore." Finishing up the picture her sketch book was swiped up as Haunter looked at the picture. Then floated down to show Raikiri. ("Look Look what Rikka drew!")

Furret looked over at the drawing and chuckled. ("She is a great artist. Asa look at the drawing. Rikka drew us in the water.") He smiled and pointed to the sketch that Haunter was holding. The ghost type wasn't bad considering the other one Rikka had run into. This ghost was rather nice and liked to watch Rikka draw.

Kiki watched him relax and wondered why he didn't take the Gallade form that some Males did. Tilting her head she listened and nodded. ("Kiki. We chose it together. This is Cloud.") She pointed to her friend the Abra. Abra nodded and closed his eyes as he listened to the noises around him.

Rikka watched and rested her head on her knees. Smiling she listened to Nero's question. "Yea. I always give them a choice. It makes for a better friendship." Rikka loved her pokemon and made sure to take care of them first. Which was why she was coming up with a schedule on which pokemon she had out which week or so.

Furret watched as Asa looked over the picture. Haunter seemed rather pleased then flipped to the picture of him that Rikka had first drawn and showed it to Asa. He smiled proudly as he showed the picture to Asa. Raikiri snickered slightly and dove down to bring up a few more rocks. ("I'm Haunter!") Haunter said as he watched the Gochimu.

Kiki watched him and ate another piece of her food. Listening to his question she shook her head. ("No. Not yet...") Kiki knew Rikka wouldn't abandon her but she needed to be sure before she made that connection with her. They had used an Alphabet board she drew to pick out her name. It was nice getting to pick her name.

Rikka listened and watched Nero. "Very. Thats what I love most about Pokemon." Rikka looked at Night and smiled. He was one of her favorites just because of his personality. So timid yet when one finally reached past that in him he was a bundle of joy and fun. "I'm learning how to raise many at once. I want to be a breeder. I also want to own a ranch where even Wild pokemon can be safe. Though its going to be a very hard goal to obtain." Her eyes seem to darken slightly at the mention of how people only hunted for strong pokemon then lightened again. "Well the only true strong pokemon is how much it trusts its trainer. Even the strongest can crack if it doesn't trust its trainer."

Haunter watched the curiosity leave the young pokemon and shrugged. He floated off flipping through the pages. He wasn't about to give it back any time soon. Furret came up with some flat stones and walked up onto the sand. ("Watch this. Rikka taught me how to do this.") He tossed the rock at the water on his first try and it skipped twice. Trying again it skipped four times. ("Wanna try Asa?")

Kiki looked at him as he nodded his head. When he finally spoke it was her turn to nod. ("I know. I just don't want to be abandoned again.") With a sigh she cuddled against her friend. Cloud blinked his eyes open and wrapped his arms around Kiki. Rikka had given them a choice to come. More then likely Rikka wouldn't abandon them ever. Or at least he hoped. People changed even if the pokemon didn't.
