Along the Gorges cliff side a human form slowly climbed down it. A bag was on her shoulders while her jacket was tied around her waist. Upon her shoulders was a shiny ralts hanging on for dear life. The cap on her head was slowly starting to come loose letting her hair into her face. "Risa Hold on just a bit longer. You said we were almost there." The shiny ralts nodded her head and held on looking down again to help Mekura with the hand holds. How had her friend talked her into this? She had no idea. She shouldn't have let Mekura climb down.
Slowly Mekura slid her foot down find a hold. It hit a hole so she dug her foot in. Then slowly started moving down again. It would be so much easier if she could see where she was going. Missing a step they slid several feet before Mekura caught a hand hold jarring them both. Risa panicked and got a death grip on her head. huffing out a breath she found holds again and started slowly down murmuring though her pants. Finally after another half hour of climbing they hit the bottom. Standing on solid ground slid down and sat. Risa slowly let go of Mekura and hopped to the ground. That hadn't been so bad. Going back up would be interesting. But they had the rest of the day for that. Sliding her pack off she pulled out a water bottle.
Sipping it she listened around to see if she could hear anyone. Not very many people came out this way. That was sorta the reason she had come here. Plus it had been Hana's turn to pick. Resting her head on her knees she handed over the water bottle to Risa so she could have a drink too. |

Nero Ishi was on the move again running straight down the gorge rather quickly jumping on rocks with ease and never appearing to look back as she all but flew down the rift. Damn... she had made yet another blundering, and all she could hope was that they wouldn't pursue her down the gorge. Like anyone without the skill to move could do it anyways, but she always had the feeling that the extremists would be willing to give it a try even if they weren't able to move like she could. Down the gorge.... came to mind, and in half a second, the gentle click of wooden shoes on rocks could be heard. A short stillness came over the woman before she quickly ran straight through the gorge then and there. One could barely hear the air as she rushed past it, and Nero was careful to make sure her heels weren't clicking to the point that it would attract any sort of unwanted attention. After a good distance, she started to slow back and allowed herself to look back for the first time. A rather quiet sigh of relief came over the dark haired woman as she fund that none were following her. It was then that she actually showed seemed to calm the fire that had been in her being. A shaky hand raised to her arm, and the dark haired woman found herself touching her own blood... Breathing inwards and then breathing outwards again, she shook her head and slowly began to walk around looking for a place to hide and nurse that annoying wound. Though her senses were generally good at detecting people, Nero was not truly in her best mind and had overlooked Mekura's presence until it was too late and she had stepped into range... Even then... she hadn't noticed quiet yet..... |

Mekura lifted her head as the sound of heals hit the hard rock. Who would be running in a place like this? The sound slowly got closer though it was obvious the person was trying to be quiet. The person probably wasn't counting on running into a blind person. Sighing she took another sip of her water and started to tighten her shoe laces. Picking up Risa she put her on her shoulder then swung the bag back on. Time to get moving. With another sigh she got up and realized the person was close. Huh. Probably hadn't noticed her. She wanted to keep it that way.
Quietly Mekura moved away from the direction the person was coming and told Risa to keep quirt through thoughts. Righting her cap she kept her steps light and fast though she was struggling not to trip over several things. At Risa's tone she slowed but kept quiet. She didn't want to end up in the middle of something if that person was running from someone or thing. Sticking to the wall she trailed her hand along it, slightly in front of her. Risa was careful to send her pictures of everything that might pose a problem to her walking along the gorge.
They were both already coming up with ideas on how to get back up the gorge when the time came. Uncapping the water she took a drink and offered some Risa. Risa watched around them and took the water to take a drink. Taking the opportunity she looked behind then to find out who was in such a hurry to make Mekura worry. |

The dark haired woman finally found a place to sit not too far from where Mekura was though she still wasn't feel the presence. Resisting the urge to groan at the muscular contraction that all but signaled the fact that she may have ripped some muscle in that last skirmish of sorts, Nero breathed out rather quietly again. However, upon the intake of air, the young cross-dresser caught a fine scent of human. Her brown eyes suddenly shot in every direction at once looking for the smell... She sometimes hated her nose, yet for this, she was grateful for heightened senses. Suddenly catching sight of motion, Nero froze as she caught sight of Mekura's form. No.... went through Nero's mind for half a second until she realized the other woman was moving away rather than towards.... no... that could still be a problem. What if she was going back to get more of them... no...There were few people in the gorge, and this possibility was way to likely... she...She had to stop her. "Don't move," Nero's voice was sharp and had taken on a very masculine tone in that moment though it held the same deadening sounds. "Who are you....and what are you doing here?" she all but demanded already fishing out a dozen or so needles if she needed them. |

Risa shuddered at the sight of the person. He/she looked hurt. She couldn't tell if it was a female or male. Suddenly the person froze as if she had scented them. But the person was normal wasn't he? Climbing off Mekura's shoulders she hid herself. Their were bad people sometimes spotted in this Gorge. Some people would go out of their way to pocess a shiny pokemon. Mekura sensing the person close bhind tugged off her cap and popped it on Risa's head, hiding most of her odd coloring. Suddenly the person's voice rang out. Dang she hadn't wanted to put as much distance between her and the person as possible.
Sighing at her own disability she turned her head keeping the color of her eyes hidden in the shadows. "I should tell you why?" She didn't take kindly to orders. Upon hearing the needles sliding against each other she halted. No need to get anyone hurt. Specially Risa. Plus if she stopped the person might not attack. Hopefully they would just leave her alone. Maybe if she ran for it. She could have Risa use protect. Already the young psychic was getting ready to protect Mekura. What ever Mekura heard Risa usually knew about because of their bond. |

Nero's eyes had scaled over the movement on the girl's shoulder, and for a half second, Nero was sure she had seen a Ralts. A...psychic..... Indeed, on any other day, Nero would have addressed that and simply begun talking about it, but today was apparently not one of those days..... The answer that finally came from the girl made Nero blink for a few god seconds. That answer... had actually answered exactly what Nero had been asking in a far different way than one would have expected. Alright then, she wasn't directly there to attack, it seemed....if anything, those that were following her would probably have made a long speech of sorts explaining what she did and going about extracting revenge then and there. The dark haired woman's head moved back towards where she had been running for a few seconds, and she found herself much calmer than before. Alright then... it seemed that she had managed to get away with it fully, then.... good.....Her hand, still placed rather hard on her arm, was starting to twitch just a tad from trying to keep the force on to stop the bleeding, yet she refused to let up on it until the wound quit spilling blood onto her sleeve. "Never mind," was the only thing that finally came from Nero Ishi after a few more seconds of silence. A thought of general rudeness on how she had acted previously came and went through Nero's mind, yet her pride restrained her from stating that she was sorry. She wasn't sorry that she placed her life first and foremost in such a situation. No. Not at all. Instead, she decided to simply decided to move on. Taking out a pokeball, she released Gavin who suddenly seemed to rush straight at her already forming a Healing Wave. However, she stopped him in mid motion and simply pointed to the bandages. The Gardevoir blinked for a moment before finally sighing and starting work of sorts. However, in another second, the male Gardevoir seemed to notice the other presences in the area and turned his head to stare towards the girl for a few seconds. A pull from Nero seemed to drag Gavin's attention back, and he went back to work again. |

Mekura held Risa close to her keeping the young pokemon hidden from veiw as the person's eyes trailed over her where Risa had been. The person seemed to have wanted an answer like the one she gave cause the person didn't speak for a few seconds. The sound of needles disappeared as the person seemed to move her gaze away. Risa being always curious and wondered why the person hadn't attacked tried to peak over Mekura's shoulder. Of course the Cap was still on her head as she looked. If anything she looked like a curious child.
Mekura pulled Risa back down and felt the person get calmer now. At her words Mekura would have continued on except she felt the pain from teh person rather then saw it like a normal person. Should she offer to help? In another second she felt another presence and realized the girl had let out a pokemon. Risa again curious popped her head up and spotted the Gardevoir. But not just any Gardevoir it was male. Hadn't he gotten a stone in time? Well probably not from his appearance. When he looked over at Mekura she popped back down. But the person had been hurt!
Mekura turned slightly to looked fully in the person's direction. "Would you like some help?" She couldn't just leave the person if he/she was hurt. Risa watched though she was mostly hidden by Mekura's arms. Why wouldn't the person just let her/his pokemon heal em? This person was weird.Holding the Cap to her head she resisted the urge to heal. She didn't like it when people were in pain and there was something she could do. |

Brown eyes raised and moved in the direction of the girl again, and for a few seconds, Nero honestly debated it. However, after a few seconds more, she shook her head a bit. "It's fine... it's only a quarter of an inch," she stated. Deep. Quarter inch deep... width wise.. it was a good long gash that nearly wrapped around her arm. Gavin cringed a little mostly from the rather raw emotions that he was receiving from Nero on the subject. She held a lot of things in... but he could...still tell. After he'd finished wrapping it, Gavin stood fully from his bending position and then looked back over towards the girl. I doubt you mean any harm. Thank you for offering help. The Gardevoir was careful only to express these words to the girl and not towards Nero. Nero would probably have..... well... in truth Gavin really didn't know, but he had a feeling her pride would have taken some sort of hit on that, and therefore he resolved not to let that happen. |

Mekura raised an eyebrow. Oh yeah sure it was only a quarter inch. So why was the pain radiating off him/her. Well since the person already seemed to have a psychic of her/his own there was probably okay if Risa was seen. Though Mekura had to seriously debate it in her head. Risa seemed to make up her own mind and crawled back onto Mekura's shoulders but didn't give the cap back now that Mekura had given it to her. Risa watched the person and projected her thoughts at the person. ("Can I heal you please? Mekura and I both can tell your hurting.")
Mekura seemed to look at the Gardevoir as she replied to him. Your welcome... She figured he was probably trying to keep his thoughts from his trainer. Now Mekura wondered where the people who had attacked the person were. Well they weren't close enough for Mekura to hear them and she had excellent hearing so they probably weren't close. Yet anyways. Eh. She felt Togepi's poke-ball wiggling in her pocket. Now was not the time to let the baby of her bunch out. How had she woken up? Mekura was sure she had had Risa use Hypnosis.
The baby probably had sensed she was in her poke-ball. Sweat dropping she reached into her pocket and pulled out the still wiggling ball. Kaiyou rarely stayed in her poke-ball. Sighing she wanted to keep Kaiyou in it a bit longer. Letting the baby out she scooped up the small togepi before she could go anywhere. Risa reached down and tapped the Togepi using another hypnosis. Kaiyou yawned and went back to sleep happily now that she was out of her ball. Returning the young pokemon she slipped the ball back into her pocket. Hopefully that would buy her another couple of hours. |

The dark haired woman closed her eyes before project her thoughts off towards the Ralts. I'm alright little one.... she thought aloud to the point that Gavin could hear it. The Gardevoir sighed to himself and wondered why Nero did this to her-.............oh........ That was why wasn't it? The Gardevoir slowly smiled wondering why he hadn't thought of that one before. A certain someone had called it weak a bit ago didn't he? Heh..... Foolish... for him and even more so for Nero who should have known better. However, in the end of it all, it was Nero's choice on it. Far off, the sounds of movement made Nero tense. Looking towards Gavin, she debated whether or not to have him teleport. However, she had never backed down before and was resolving not to now. Instead, she was simply forcing her form up and looking far off down the gorge now waiting..... Would they come? Or was it maybe a pokemon or something? Who knew.... |

Risa nodded though she really wanted to heal the person. Sighing she rested her head on Mekura's and thought about it. Now Risa noticed the odd coloring on the Gardevoir. <Hey! you have the same colors as me!> She thought that was kewl. She had yet to seem someone that kinda looked like her. Risa was beginning to think seh was the only blue, orange and purple tinted ralts. And if he was evolved then he had started off as those colors too!
Mekura blinked as she heard the movements. Now she was thinking she should probably get at least one weapon. Most people didn't fight fair and not all were nice people. Shouldn't she have learned this by now? Moving her feet she slipped farther into the shadows of the gorge. Her hand slipping into her pocket for Hana's ball. Her Ninetales would help her get out of the place. Now she was glad she had put Togepi back to sleep. Her running about would have caused a major problem if it was the people who had attacked the person. She really needed a name. The person was getting tiring. "I'm Mekura by the way." Though her voice had gone soft now that she could hear the movement. |

Gavin half smiled as the Ralts noticed his coloring. His eyes seemed to scale her form for a few seconds before he nodded. <Indeed... we share color, it seems...> he answered back. He would have stated more if Nero's movements hadn't caught him. The dark haired woman had risen and was turning now and looking straight where she had come. One solid fist had filled with needles in that moment, and if she even caught half a sight of one of the people that had followed her, she wasn't going to hesitate to attack. The dark haired woman had been so intent on her stare that she had nearly missed actually hearing what Mekura had said. However, when her mind registered it, she simply stated her name back as of habit. "Nero," she stated aloud. As the sound of motion came closer, Nero's muscles tightened. However, when a rather scared looking Nidoran brush area and went running past Nero and Mekura, the dark haired woman deflated a little. Ah... so it was just a pokemon.... Not bothering to get in the way of the fast hopping creature, the dark haired woman even managed a smile as she watched it hop off and far away. She felt a little flat but overall alright.... "Nero Ishi," she stated finally looking back towards Mekura. |

Risa smiled as he started to talk to her. Pulling the cap off she showed the rest of her coloring. She really did look like him. As Mekura slid into the Shadows though she popped the cap back on her head hiding the blue and orange coloring. The sound was getting louder as Mekura pulled out Hana's ball and was ready to release her. This whole waiting thing wasn't her style she would rather get on with it or walk off. Of course she wasn't gonna leave this person alone with an unknown number of enemies. Well from the sound it was only one and maybe not even human.
As the Nidoran ran past them Risa sent her a picture of the scared pokemon. Of course Mekura wanted to relax but what had scared the pokemon. Putting Hana's ball back in her pocket she looked at Nero now. The light some what catching her eyes and showing off the pale blue. Blinking she leaned back against the rock careful not to squish Risa. As Nero fully introduced herself Mekura nodded. "Nice to Meet you. Mekura Nezumi." Nero had stated his/her name so she might as well give her last name. Mekura listened carefully to their surroundings, hoping nothing got past her ears. |

Nero nodded at the name rather slowly but keeping her brown eyes on the side of the gorge. Yet another Nidoran seemed to go hopping by rather fast maybe after the first one which made the dark haired woman sweat drop for a few seconds and shake her head. Gavin breathed in, and breathed out spreading his psychic power out to nearly the entire gorge and touching bits and pieces of it.... There's no one here... Nero... aside from pokemon and you and this girl.... he expressed rather quietly before looking back towards the Ralts before half smiling. <Shiny pokemon are a bit rarer than others indeed> he stated aloud calmly towards her. Nero seemed to rub her temple a bit and tried to force her form to relax from its tense position though even that was hard.... Why she hadn't just had Gavin teleport her away after work, she would never know... force of habit maybe..... to run and prove that you were of the faster and of the stronger rather than just relying on pokemon... who knew... Nero didn't and didn't try to know. Finally the dark haired girl's eyes seemed to rest on the Ralts again. Ah... psychics.... She found them amazing, indeed...their social needs... their powers... it was all good..... "Your Ralts doesn't look young," she stated in a calm all but flat manner. |

Mekura sweat dropped as another Nidoran seemed to run past. Relaxing she sat down and pulled Risa off her shoulders. Taking her hat back she popped it on her head hiding the blue of her eyes in its shadow. Risa grinned and listened to the Gardevoir. <Yeah but it gets lonely when you don't find another. I'm glad I met you!> Risa quickly took in the land scape and sent pictures and descriptions to Mekura. Might as well do something useful while they ways. She wouldn't mind playing but she doubted the older pokemon would want to play a game of tag.
At Nero's flat statement Mekura looked in her direction. "Ah she's not. I've had her since I was Twelve but her personality make it hard to tell if shes older than she acts." Though lately she had been thinking of evolving her Ralts. Of course that would involve lots of battling to get her to evolve. They actually hadn't battle together before since Mekura usually avoided people and liked to be friends with pokemon. Risa catching Mekura's stray thoughts smiled and patted her hand like a young pokemon.
Which Mekura realized it would be a long while before she actually got to battle with Togepi. She was still refusing to learn how to talk normal. Maybe She had spoiled her a bit too much. This person seemed to like psychics maybe she could ask Nero. Of course she didn't want to ask for many reasons. Maybe she should go find a breeder. They could help. She sighed at having to actually seek someone out to help her with her baby. |

Nero nodded at that. "I only said something because I noticed her psychic controls are more than what one would expect from a younger pokemon," she stated aloud thinking of both Raya and Asa. They were both constantly pushing and shoving around in their own minds which made it harder to establish bonds, and sometimes Nero resolved to simply push them both away from her mind. Gavin caught a few of the stray emotions from the younger pokemon and half smiled. Nero has some younger pokemon you might like to play with.... he projected out to everyone that was there. Upon hearing it, Nero sweat dropped a little but didn't say anything bad about it. Fishing out two pokeballs, she released Asa and Raya. The Gothita stretched his short arms and yawned while the Wynaut giggled and seemed to move forwards to examine this new person. |

Mekura nodded and stroked Risa's head gently. Risa had to learn control faster then a normal baby since she had to help Mekura out. It helped she was a fast learner. "Yeah. She is a fast learner. At the moment we're working on Teleporting. So far she can teleport herself and inanimate objects." Risa patted Mekura's hand and again got a little frustrated at Mekura. She was so secrective over her blindness. What it that big of a problem? Risa helped her out most of the time anyways so it was like she couldn't see anyways. Well she guess most people wouldn't know that. Sighing she blinked as Gardevoir pointed out Nero had other young pokemon. Smiling she hopped out of Mekura's lap.
When Nero let the pokemon out she waved. <Hi! I'm Risa! You wanna play tag?> She rocked lightly on her feet as she watched the pokemon hoping that they would want to play. She had already had enough pondering about Mekura's blindness. It was leaving her depressed. Mentally shaking it away she smiled and watched the Wynaut. |

Nero seemed to nod at this rather slowly as a hand found its way to her arm again. However, she resisted messing with it for now. What was done was done. "I met Gavin when he had already evolved," she answered back rather quietly. "Though he apparently had a trainer for a while before myself," she finished rather calmly. The Gardevoir nodded slowly at this thinking about an old friend of his.... Raya grinned a bit (though Wynaut by nature couldn't stop smiling) and then nodded her head before raising an ear and tapping the Ralts before quickly shuffling off giggling a lot. Asa blinked realizing the game and then seemed to smirk >3 he'd win... he had no idea how to actually win such a game but he'd do it!> |

Mekura listened and nodded. "Ah. I had Risa since she hatched." The psychic when she had hatched had wasted no time telling Mekura who she was and wondering why she had such odd colors. It was a struggle every now and then since Risa didn't have the same veiws Mekura had when it came to her blindness. Silly Risa. Closing her eyes she listened to the pokemon start playing.
Risa giggled as she was tagged. Teleporting to the Gothita she tagged him before quickly teleporting away and taking off running. Though she stayed close just encase Mekura needed her. Though she was pretty sure Mekura could get to her if anything happened. |

Nero nodded at this slowly and thought of the eggs that she had that would soon hatch.... Beldum and Klink genes... it should prove interesting if nothing else... Then there were Meteor's children... or rather mini!clones almost. A quiet smile came to her face as she thought of the Beldum she had kept... They were sweet kids.... "Is she your first pokemon?" the dark haired woman asked assuming gender due to the name. It was... a tad odd.. if she was her first... for the Ralts not to have evolved....at least once.... Meteor had evolved due to his own aging....though that might not be the case for all pokemon..... |
