So far he seemed nice, though one could never tell when just meeting a someone. When Kero told Alvaro who she was, she just nodded again waiting for her time to speak. Though Cora's eye did twitch a little when Kero said she was a new found noble. At this moment in time she did not want anyone calling her a noble... For all she cared she was just a commoner. At the moment at least, but in her mind she was far away from being called a noble... She was just a noble born. And when Kero said partner she knew then these two where gay. Eh, whatever that did not bug her at all. Each to his own right? " Noble born, I was adopted out." Cora corrected, trying to keep her voice level so not to show her annoyance to that comment. " Yes, I was attacked by a homeless beggar when I was in Central Capital. In a Residential Area.. Though I;m sure Adam can and will go everywhere in the city.. But if you don't have time to help I wont beg... I did not even ask Kero, he offered and would not take no for a answer. Oh, its also nice to meet you Alvaro." Cora said remembering to be polite. She then held out her hand to him, with a small smile on her face. ( OOC: I know I said eastern city but my mind thought the wrong thing.... Sorry guys. >.< And Imma to lazy to go fix my old postes...^^;;; ) [/scrolly]

As Kero explained, Alvaro simply took on a somewhat almost amused look. So she was adopted out of nobility... Well he'd never heard of it, but with everything that went on in the world, why not? At the explanation of a man named Adam, however, Alvaro blinked slowly. Well... that sucked for her ._. . After a few seconds, he nodded his head a bit as both Kero and Cora stopped talking. Looking sideways at Kero, Alvaro smirked. "Boyfriend," he corrected before looking towards Cora and stepping just a bit before reaching to take her hand before giving a half shake as well. "And ah nice to meet you, heh. Sure, I don't see why we couldn't move in that general direction," he shrugged a bit rather easily before laughing lightly. [/scrolly]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Kero hadn’t realized it but his entire face went red when Alvaro corrected him. He wasn’t embarrassed. Not even close. No, the redness had been caused by rush of excitement and pride that had swelled up inside him the moment the word, ‘Boyfriend’ reach his ears. He and Alvaro were boyfriends. Oh, he liked the sound of that so much. But right now he needed to focus… yes… now what had been said. The capital… wait, hadn’t she said the east before? Hum, no, he was probably remembering wrong. “It’s been a long time since Ive been to the capital.” Kero mentioned before looking over at Alvaro, “Have you been there before? It’s so easy to get lost, its not even funny.” Yet as he said that he still seemed to laugh a bit. Charizard, who had been watching Kero the entire time just sighed. Alvaro always got all the attention… it wasn’t fair. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

Though part of her was wanting to take this fight on her own. Though for now, Cora would swallow her pride and take the help that was offered.. Once again her view's on nobles was changing a little more. But that did not mean she would fully trust them though.. Cora's Charizard stepped forward and gave a bow to Kero and Alvaro. " I would like to thank you for being willing to help my Trainer in her time of need." He said straining himself and smiled at them. Like Cora, Charizard did not like Noble's or the Pokemon with them most of the time. But these two where willing to help and was glad Cora would not have to go through this alone. Cora then walked over to Charizard and he lowered himself so Cora could jump on. When on Charizard's back she looked over at Kero and Alvaro. " Ready when ever you are." Cora said with a smile but then remembered something. " I just remembered something... I need to make a stop somewhere before going to the city...." Cora then hesitated before going on. She had a hard time talking about her new family members, seeing as she hated nobles for so long it was still kinda hard to accept that she is one and has noble relatives.. It was just something she was going to have to live with now. " I need to stop at the east and visit the duke there, Feils.. He... he is... He is my cousin.. I want to ask him if he can help me act more lady like, Don't want to get a dress if I can't get lessons first right?" Cora said turning red a little and looked off to the side. " If he says yes, I know getting a dress wont be a wast of time.. And I will be a few steps closer to meeting my perants.." Cora said and looked over at Kero. " If you do come though Kero, you will have to leave your Charizard behind or return him to his pokeball when we get there. Feils has a great fear of fire Pokemon." Cora said to Kero looking at him and his Charizard. [/scrolly]

"I've been to the capital a few times before," he answered back. However, as Cora spoke, Alvaro blinked slowly. Hm? Another stop along the--- Hey what was that! "Hey look!" Alvaro pointed in the air completely dismissing what Cora had said as something else had caught his eye. What appeared as a Tropius could be seen flying above the forest despite the cold. "Hey you! What are you doing up there!" he suddenly called. Oddly enough, at that exact same moment that Cora had mentioned the Duke, Harubi, Felis's Tropius had flown overhead. Having been sent on a mission to find a certain 'Kero Blackthorn' whom had put up wanted posters for criminals that had been caught in Felis's castle, the Tropius had been given a general direction from his trainer whom had spoken with the butler of Kero and had been sent on his way. However, being called out to was not something Harubi had expected, and as he craned his long neck downwards, he caught sight of the group and found himself at least partially familiar with the cherry-blond haired woman, Cora. Ah, maybe he could stop and ask where this Count was~ But then again, who were the men that she was with? He wasn't sure, yet the man that had yelled up to him seemed friendly enough. After a moment, the Tropius landed. "Good afternoon Miss Cora," Harubi spoke calmly. "I was wondering if you could help me..." [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “We are more than happy to help, right Alvaro?” Kero claimed in reply to the Charizard as he turned and gave Alvaro a big smile. At least he was pretty proud of himself for offering to help. Kero watched Cora as she spoke, nodding a few times at her words as he listed. It took him a moment to realize she had claimed she needed to see a duke. He… he almost wondered what the duke would think of them all showing up at his place. What if he didn’t like company? Then he would get mad and his first impression with the duke would be ruined and then he would have an even harder time gaining respect and… ok, so that was a little… extreme. The duke might be a nice guy. Yah, perhaps he would enjoy their company. But then.. What if he said something he didn’t like and then they got kicked out and… no, no, he couldn’t think like that. Afraid of fire types? Kero looked at Charizard for a moment, the lizard giving a rather disapproving snort. He was a great any mighty Charizard! He could understand one being afraid of his glorious presence but to simply not want him around? Pfff! That was unheard of! Kero on the other hand seemed to understand. “Charizard, you’ll be ok to…” But he stopped to look up at Alvaro claimed something was in the sky. Sure enough a Tropius was in the sky and… it had come down to Alvaro’s greeting? Well, Kero hadn’t been expecting that. Nore was he expecting the Tropius to speak human lanague either. He was still trying to get use to Cora’s Charizard speaking. “You- you know him?” Kero found himself blurting out to Cora. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

What the? A Tropius? Whats a Pokemon like that doing in a cold place like this? Cora blinked when it seemed to come down when Alvaro called to it. When it landed Cora again blinked and looked at the huge grass flying type. Then for another shocker it spoke and even knew her name!!! Cora's mouth dropped a little, How did this Pokemon know who she was? She had never seen him before, but wait... Feils loves grass types.. So could this be one of his Pokemon? If so she still did not remember meeting this one.. Cora regained her composer (spelling fail >> ) when Harubi asked if she could help him. When Kero asked of she knew him, Cora looked Kero. " I... I don't know, I could I guess.. But I don't remember meeting a Tropius before... Unless.." Cora then got off of Charizard's back and slowly started to walk over to Tropius. " Please, Cora is just fine, No need to call me Miss. Sorry if I don't remember you.. But seeing as you know me, Is your trainer Feils?? If so I will be happy to help you." Cora said with a smile. [/scrolly]

"A meeting of someone you never met before, ah that's fun," Alvaro finally laughed a little to himself. However, Harubi seemed to be debating on how he wanted to proceed. "Indeed, Feliciano is my trainer. I remember you from your first visit to Forest Castle and that during Serenity Gardens. However, I was not in the main focus either of those times, so I understand you not remembering me," the Tropius answered back nodding his head. "But anyways, Lord Feliciano asked me to find a 'Kero Blackthorn' yet I have not been able to run into him yet and was wondering if you knew his whereabouts if at all." Alvaro had to fight back the first impulse to instatly point at Kero and say 'you found him' and instead looked sideways at Kero not sure of what exactly to say. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] So she didn’t know the pokemon but she knew the trainer. Though she had met the pokemon before, she just didn’t remember. Or rather, the pokemon had met her and she hadn’t met him. Anyway, it was kind of funny that Cora should meet one of Felis’s pokemon just as she claimed she needed to go see the duke. That was a sign of good luck, right? Though now it looked like they would need to help this pokemon… Kero stood stunned for a moment when the pokemon said his name. Why in the world would the duke be searching for him? “I’m Kero Blackthron.” Kero spoke up, “Count of the South ” The look on his face was rather stern with a mixture of the shock and puzzlement of why they pokemon would be looking for him. Had he and Alvaro done something wrong when they went to the East to explore? He was pretty sure they hadn’t. Maybe he was upset they hadn’t gone to the castle while down there? Perhaps. Yah that could be it. Luckily that look on Kero’s face faded when he turned his head to Alvaro and gave the green haired man a rather light smile. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

" well, you don't have to look anymore. Kero Blackthorn,Count of the South is right there." Cora said with a smile and faught back the want to ask why he was looking for him. She knew she woukd find out soon anyway. [/scrolly]

"I see," he answered back before bowing a bit at Kero. "My liege wishes for you to come East. It appears he has captured a few people from your wanted add and wishes for you to take them," he answered back before pulling a paper from behind one of his wings and holding it out to Kero. However, it was Alvaro who had reached forwards and taken it before anyone else, Harubi blinked and sighed. Well, if this man was part of this group then... well hopefully he could be trusted.... Alvaro, meanwhile, unfolded the thing and was turning it about with something of mild interest. So some of the thugs Kero had set up the posters for had been caught? Or something? Purple eyes scanned the page. Hello Kero~ This is Feliciano Rossi. I have a present for you; well not really, sorry. You see, I have had to deal with a man that was on your wanted poster and have him in my dungeon at the moment. I also have a partner of some sorts that tried to break in to retrieve him. I'd like you to come to Forest Castle and help me decide what to do with them as soon as possible. Thanks in advance, Feliciano Rossi Alvaro turned his head to one side after having finished reading it. "Well that was short." [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Kero blinked a couple times when the large Grass type claimed that Felis had some criminals from his wanted posters to take off his hands. There were many things running through his mind at that point. First off, was how the Duke, of all people, had managed to run into the criminals. Second was how he was going to get the two men all the way from the Forest Castle to the dungeons of his Desert home. There were a few other things running through his mind as well but the thing that moved up above them all was, “That means they working!” Kero exclaimed excitedly as he turned to look at Alvaro with a huge grin, “My posters really are getting the criminals off the streets. This is great!” As Alvaro took the letter, Kero found himself looking over his shoulder to read it. As Alvaro spoke, Kero took the letter to finish reading the last line before looking up again. “He wants advice from me,” Kero stated sounding almost shocked by his own words. A duke wanted HIS advice! This was… this was… So Amazing! A duke wanting advice from him?! His parents would be so proud of him. Finally he was getting the respect his family had always worked so hard to achieve. He was so excited! But he had stay professional. This was a duke he was going to be seeing. He didn’t want to do anything to make the man dislike him. He also had no idea what the duke was like. Hopefully he wouldn’t mind that Kero wasn’t in his best formal wear. With the traveling he had been doing he hadn’t brought too fancy of clothes with him. “It looks like we will all need to head back to the east.” Kero nodded, looking over at Cora. “Then we can accompany you to the city.” [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

And this would work for Cora anyway seeing as she was wanting to go to Feils's castle anyway. Cora smiled and nodded when Kero said they would to Felis's castle before coming with her to the city. " That is fine Kero, I just said before I was wanting to visit Felis to ask him something anyway. Its not like I'm dieing to get a new dress, nor am I need the hurry to meet up with Adam who is trying to kill me. We can go when your good and ready." Cora said and she walked back over to Charizard and hopped on his back again. " Ready whenever you are." [/scrolly]

"Thank you all for your assistance. Now if you'll excuse me, I must head back before the weather gets too hard to fly," the Tropius stated motioning to the air that was starting to pick up. In one fluid motion the large grass and flying type was once again in the air and flying off. Alvaro blinked slowly before suddenly grinning and laughing a little. Ah, it was good to see Kero in high spirits. "Well it looks like we're going to a castle," he mused before slowly pulling a pokeball from his pocket but then hesitating a moment and waiting to see how this would work out. Shaking his head at his own hesitation, Alvaro went back to his impulse and returned Stella finally. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “Then to the Forest Castle we go!” Kero agreed with Cora sounding a little too excited about the whole thing, though that smile faided a moment when Felis’s pokemon claimed the weather was going to get bad. “I guess we should hurry too” He claimed after the pokemon had taken off. His pale brown eyes turned to Alvaro with a smile before he looked over at Charizard. “Be nice.” the fire type let out a small huff as he understood that Kero was telling him to be nice to Alvaro which only meant one thing. He was giving them a ride. Kero did have one other pokemon with him that could carry a human but the pokemon was much too timid and Kero wasn’t sure if she would end getting scared and throwing off his rider. Luckily Charizard lowered his body, allowing Kero to climb on and waiting to allow Alvaro to climb on as well. He’d let the green haired man ride on his back today rather than in his arms. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

Though decided not to ask. When Cora heard Kero telling his Charizard to be nice she put her hand over her mouth to hold back a giggle. Cora's Charizard rolled his eyes though. Why must most other Charizards be so prideful? Well he himself has pride but not to the point he looks down on others. " Lets go old friend." Cora said patting Charizard's neck. Charizard nodded and opened up his powerful wings and with in a few flaps he was air born. They waited a few minutes for Kero and Alvaro, when they where also in the air they started to fly towards the east. [/scrolly]

"Actually I'm going to see if Zane'll give me a ride today," he mused a bit before flipping a pokeball out from his pocket. The rather easily irritated Charizard had been mellowing out if only a little bit as it seemed time was killing his belief his previous trainer would ever come back for him. After a moment, Alvaro released the Charizard in question who took form and shook his head sharply looking around and mildly leering at both Charizards before turning his head sharply towards Alvaro. <What do you want> the fire type snapped a bit too quickly. Alvaro sighed a little but kept an easy smile. "I need a ride," he grinned causing the Charizard to frown in turn. "Ah come on that's not too much to ask~" Alvaro teased a little causing the Charizard to sigh in turn. Damn Ryder... why did she leave him with such a.... Rolling his eyes but finally sighing, he bent down. Fine. He'd comply for now. Upon seeing Zane's motions, Alvaro grinned ear to ear. There now~! That wasn't so hard was it? Looking towards Kero for a moment before finally making to climb on, Alvaro grinned even more as Zane took off. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Kero blinked a moment when Alvaro claimed he was going to try and ride Zane. He was a little worried the fire type might not be so… willing. But soon enough a smile crossed Kero’s face and he crossed his fingers, “Let’s hope he is in a good mood today.” Kero teased a little, though he truly was hoping that. He knew how much his own Charizard seemed to enjoy picking on Alvaro. Though Kero knew that was for other reasons than Zane’s. Charizard was jealous of Alvaro and didn’t want to share Kero with him. Luckily he was slowly getting use to Alvaro. At least Kero was certain his Charizard would protect the green haired man if needed. When the fire type was released, Kero had a slightly worried expression on but as he lowered his body to agree to take Alvaro for the ride, Kero’s grin returned. It was going to be ok. “Alright Charizard, lets go.” With that, he was off in the sky as well, heading towards the Forest Castle. If the weather was alright, they would make it there before dawn. Or at lest, he hoped. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]
