Whatever It Takes (Jay/Cora)

The fact that her mother had called to order her home bothered Elayne very little, rather it was the idea that her mother had probably told Simeon where she was that scared her. Ever since then Elayne had made sure to stay close to Forest Castle where she was pretty certaint that she was safe from Simeon. It was why she was in Serenity Gardens now...that and Elayne had wanted to get outside to enjoy the beautiful day. That morning after breakfast she had taken some of her art supplies and a few sandwiches in case she should get hungry and had set out for the gardens. The gardens never ceased to amaze Elayne, she loved to look at the vast array of flowers and how everything simply fit so well together. Now she was sitting underneath a tree drawing a few flowers while Lucas, her Arcatales, chased a few butterflies here and there. Lucas was the only one that had followed her to the gardens though Elayne did have a few younger Pokemon that she was in the process of training. Elly had even opted out of the short trip...of course she had been rather scarce since Rai was at the castle. Laughing softly at Lucas' antics, Elayne turned to a new page and began a to draw Lucas chasing butterflies. This was a nice change of pace, after recent events Elayne was glad for a chance to simply relax without any worries or stress. Maybe her fears of her mother contacting Simeon had been unfounded...surely he would have at least tried to contact her if that had been the case. Whatever the reason, Elayne was glad that she hadn't seen him...in her opinion the next time she did see him would be all too soon.[/scrolly]

[Jay]

In all reality, Simeon had known for a while that Elayne was living in Forest Castle. After night time events months back, he had put two and two together rather quickly despite his mild stupidity otherwise. However, considered she was within the arms of one of the heaviest pieces of defense i the country, he had actually thought better of abruptly charging in announced. Though the Duke's powers didn't frighten him in the least, Simeon had at least been wary of the Duke's massive pokemon horde that had only increased since more people had begun to reside there.

At first it had been annoying unable to claim the prize that he was entitled to, and for a short few days after learning, he had pouted....up until a rather spunky woman began to take up his time. The writer won't get into the details of such relations between them outside the fact that Simeon was careful not to become a father at least, but when said relations broke off suddenly, he was left irritated again. Thus he trolled around for a few weeks partying and whatnot trying to get into more sets of jeans and being a general lewd jerk...

That was until Miss Madelyn had called. Simeon had surprisingly been at home when his phone had rang, and upon realizing who it was, he quickly shaped up and talked to her in his best of manners. As she explained she'd found the whereabouts of the girl that was his prize, Simeon suddenly remembered again and had quickly agreed to go meet her. Thus he had taken off that day in the south...only to get distracted by a hot blonde chick whom he'd get slapped by repeatedly before he gave up his antics towards her which really didn't take that long. When he again remembered what he was trying to do again, he quickly once more headed off towards the castle.

...That was until he happened to catch sight of Serenity Gardens of which he'd always secretly found to be beautiful. Thinking he could at least be somewhat decent and pick a few flowers for his fiance, he headed in that general direction and through the maze of garden paths. What he didn't expect when Simeon turned a perpetual corner of hedging was to find Elayne sitting there drawing her pokemon. Whereas some would find it endearing, he wondered why anyone would want to be alone and why anyone would want to spend their time drawing of all things. "What the hell?" was the question that hit the air from Simeon's hiding place.

That was until the peaceful morning was shattered by an all too familiar voice. Tensing considerably, Elayne froze in the middle of finishing the butterfly Lucas was still intent on chasing, desperately hoping that she was wrong. Simeon couldn't be here...he just...couldn't... Last time they had met Elayne had run away before he'd gotten the chance to do anything... Now though, she was alone...sure Felis, Haii, and the others knew where'd she gone but it would be hours before they'd even begin to worry. This wasn't good...all Elayne could do was hope that the voice she heard wasn't Simeon. If it was....no, she couldn't think about that right now... Lucas on the other hand had heard someone speak and was quite oblivious to Elayne's panicked state. The big hybrid puppy was going to greet this person, after all they just had to be a friend right?! Stopping his chase of the butterfly, the Arcatales ran in Simeon's direction, meaning to full out glomp whoever new person was hiding there.[/scrolly]

[Jay]

The startled look that initially came to Simeon's face as a hybrid suddenly came bounding at him was forced away by something stern. Oh hell what was she doing? Sending a pokemon after him? The thought that Lucas was doing things of his own regard and that his intentions were more childish than anything didn't come to his mind. Instead, the redhead whipped out a pokeball and released a Druddigon. "Ruddi use Rock Slide," the redhead ordered. Almost instantly the large dragon formed boulders from somewhere or something and sent them hurling at the fire dog in the form of a Rock Slide.

Simeon, meanwhile, was now walking fast passed his Druddigon and towards Elayne. "Hey what was that about?" he snapped stupidly towards Elayne.

No! Lucas was just being friendly, there was no need to attack! Before Elayne knew it she was on her feet,"Lucas Protect!"she called out, hoping that the Arcatales would be able to react in time. Thankfully Lucas was able to use the move in time and thus avoided any damage much to Elayne's relief. When Simeon walked over towards her, Elayne glared at him before reaching out and slapping him as hard as she could. "You idiot

[/b]! Lucas wasn't attacking, he's just a big puppy! All he wanted to do was say hello, you were the one that attacked, not me!"[/color]Elayne yelled, all thoughts of being afraid of Simeon gone for the time being.

Lucas however was quite oblivious to the fact that he had almost gotten hurt and was once again trying to say hello to Simeon. He wasn't quite sure why Elayne had told him to use the move but it had been fun and watching the boulders bounce off the shield had been really cool! The idea that the boulders had been meant for him completely escaped his mind, there was no way that his new friend wanted to hurt him after all. Upon reaching Simeon, Lucas made to glomp the man again, completely unaware to the rising tension.[/scrolly][/td][/tr][/table][/center]

[Jay]

Though he had been walking towards her, Simeon hadn't expected Elayne to retaliate. She was usually too quiet for that, and as she started to yell, he blinked only to feel the slap across the face a second after. The sound of skin bashing into jawbone vibrated Simeon's ears more than the pain actually got to him, but almost instantly he had retracted and brought a hand to his face. "You bitch," he hissed. Just as the fire dog made to tackle Simeon, the redhead looked venomously at his Druddigon. "Ruddi do anything you want to that damn pipsqueak," he stated venomously before turning back to Elayne, raising a fist, and making to punch her as hard as he could in the face right back. Well damn there went his good mood!

Ruddi, meanwhile, blinked before looking at the hybrid and grinning sadistically. Forming a Smack Down by once more calling upon rocks from the ground, the large pokemon made to hit the Arcatles as hard as possible. He didn't worry much for his trainer and was too focused on this new target he was being asked to attack, heh.

[Maid Melody]

She was beginning to realize what she'd done when he hissed at her and told Ruddi to attack Lucas again. Elayne wasn't all that worried about Lucas, the big fire hybrid was strong even if he was at a disadvantage. Before Elayne had time to react however, pain exploded in her skull as Simeon punched her causing her to fall backwards before she could stop herself. Thankfully the grass she landed in was soft enough to break her fall if not by much. Dazed, Elayne brought a hand to her face that was already beginning to swell...even with what had just happened she wasn't afraid. Disoriented and confused as a result from the punch, but not afraid...why wasn't she afraid...it made no sense. Simeon had just punched her but she wasn't afraid... Lucas wasn't expecting the attack and yelped as it hit him. Well now, this would be a fun game! Sure that had hurt but sometimes games hurt too, at least that's what the Arcatales believed. Picking himself up, Lucas shook the dirt from his fur and used Dragon Pulse. He'd been watching Skye teach Raine a lot and wanted to see if he could do the move too because it looked like so much fun. It had taken a while and was far from perfect but the hybrid had managed to perform the move with no problem.[/scrolly]

[Jay]

Simeon was irritated, and as he looked at Elayne now fallen on the grass, it only made him more so. "First you go sending that fire thing after me, and then you yell at me, and then you hit me. Just who do you think you are?" he spat before taking a few steps and making to seize Elayne by her shirt and more or less force her up. Another arm made to wrap itself around her form, and hands roughly snagged side. "You're just mine, and that is all," the redhead hissed venomously tightening his grip.

Meanwhile the Druddigon in question seemed to look stunned at the sight of a large pulse coming at him, but he snapped out of it quickly enough and made a giant leap of sorts before taking into the air with his somewhat massive wings. Though he did get hit on the feet just as the ball of dragon mass went by, he didn't take too much damage. Forming a gunky Sludge bomb in his mouth, he made to spew it at the other pokemon thereafter.

The question he asked struck her as odd...she knew exactly who she was... The rest of what Simeon said made little sense to her and Elayne was beginning to think that she may have a concussion. When he pulled her up by her shirt and held her close to him Elayne flinched both from his words and from the roughness of his grip."You idiot...Lucas acted on his own..."Elayne replied quietly, a small smile playing at the corners of her mouth as she spoke,"And you're wrong...I'm not yours...I will never be yours..." she continued in a more confident, if quiet voice. That probably hadn't been the best thing to say but Elayne was finding it difficult to think clearly right then to say the least. The pain in her skull hadn't abated in the slightest...in fact it only seemed to grow worse as time passed. Elayne could only hope that Simeon would simply go away but the chances of that were slim to none. Lucas was having too much fun especially now that his opponent was flying. It was always so much fun to chase birds and what was this but one big giant bird. Using Double Team, the Arcatales sped up all the more and managed to avoid the Sludge Bomb altogether. Continuing to run, Lucas and his copies surrounded the Druddigon and used DragonBreath, yet another move Skye had taught him.[/scrolly]

[Jay]

The bottom lid of Simeon's eye twitched vigorously at Elayne's defiance along with that obscure confidence that he was apparently hearing out of her. "That's where you're wrong," he growled tightening his grip on her waist and suddenly shifting his other arm to her chin forcefully grabbing it and forcing it upwards. "Dunno who you think you're trying to be, but you're still the same girl Miss Madelyn wants me to marry, and heh, yer not gettin' away from me that easily," he snarled out.

Ruddi's eyes grew as there appeared multiple copies of the hybrid, and as they all more or less tried to circle him from the ground before issuing out an attack, he smirked before all but dive bombing the ground avoiding the attack being launched in his previous place in the air and issuing out a tremendous Earthquake in the process. Meanwhile Simeon was suddenly rocked nearly straight off his feet by the massive ground move and all but ended up falling over. "Ruddi you idiot stop that!" the redhead complained.

[Maid Melody]

[atrb=style,background-image:url(http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv181/SojiRem/elayneposttable1-1.png);][atrb=width, 497][atrb=height, 297][atrb=style,border:0 black none,b,Table][scrolly:h(215),w(269),sy,as(padding:4px 0px 5px;margin-top:62px;margin-left:211px;color: #feb859;)]Elayne flinched when Simeon tightened his grip on her and forced him to look up at him. A subtle smile appeared on her features even as Simeon snarled at her,"I'm being me Simeon...that's all I ever was...you just didn't see it,"Elayne replied quietly in the same confident voice,"I will never marry you Simeon..."she continued, her voice growing quieter as she went on. Shortly after Elayne had finished speaking, Simeon's Ruddi used Earthquake causing Simeon to fall. With the way Simeon was holding her Elayne had no way of getting free and no way of breaking her fall and thus could only hope that Simeon would at least try to ease it. It was a fool's hope though...Simeon did nothing to ease her fall and in fact only made it worse. The hand holding her chin jerked upwards when Simeon initially lost his footing and shortly after this Elayne let out a cry of pain as Simeon fell on her, using her to break his fall instead. The hand that had been holding her chin had shifted to her throat during the fall and try as she might Elayne was finding it hard to breathe, to move at all. Her chest hurt more than anything else and Elayne was sure that Simeon's weight was going to crush her if he didn't let go soon. "Simeon..."Elayne managed to rasp out, hoping that he would understand and let go of her...or at least remove his hand from her throat. Lucas wasn't expecting the sudden ground move and yelped, cringing at the super effective move. Now where had the big bird...dragon...whatever, gone...oh right the ground! Well, maybe he could just make the ground really super hot or...yeah that'd work better! Waiting a few moments Lucas used Heat Wave right above the point of impact, making sure to direct the wave away from the humans. This was fun but it wouldn't be fun if he accidentally burned his trainer.[/scrolly]

[Jay]

The earthquake actually made it all the way to the castle though it did weaken significantly to where all anyone in it felt was a odd shift once before nothing again. However, one somewhat insomniac human had felt it, and it was enough to rouse him from sleep. Haiiro's right eye flickered open, and he found himself slowly sitting up from the bed he'd been sleeping in. As of late he'd been finding it hard to sleep though whether it was because of his insomnia or what had been playing on his mind for a bit now, Haiiro was unsure. Silence remained in the room as the dark haired young man shifted out of the bed and walked to the window. Using his only able arm to pull open the drapes that had been shielding out the sun, he flinched briefly before staring out wondering if he just couldn't sleep any more or whether something else had gotten to him.

Feliciano hadn't noticed the small shift at all and had been instead so focused on his studying that Papa Lance was issuing out that the motion didn't even register in his mind. Instead, he had turned yet another page and continued reading as though nothing else had happened.

Simeon had fallen, but he'd managed to get somewhat of a pillow effect off of Elayne at the very least. Only after he'd yelled at Ruddi did the redhead sit up rather quickly releasing his hold on the girl in the process. Yellow eyes flashed back again an instant afterwards, though. "Ya know...you're small..." Capain State the Obvious spoke raising a finger to his own chin and looking thoughtful for a moment. A smirk followed thereafter. "You shouldn't piss me off like me with such a breakable body.." he grinned a little before reaching downwards not for her shirt again but for the belt and button of her jeans. "Or you could get hurt."

Meanwhile, Ruddi found a sudden wave of heat rushing over him. Boy that was hot... sweltering even... He did not sign up for that! <Maaaaaaaan that's not cool!> he grumbled flailing his arms about upset.

Her throat hurt...her chest hurt...everything hurt...it was a wonder she could even move at all. No sooner had she managed to stop coughing however when Simeon spoke again. At first Elayne simply listened, but as he went on her eyes grew wide and she sat up as much as she could and backed away from him. When Simeon moved his hand towards her jeans, Elayne paled considerably and made to kick Simeon before quickly standing up with a strength and speed born of fear and the surge of adrenaline now coursing through her veins. "Lucas!!" Elayne screamed, hoping that the hybrid would listen to her even as she began to run as quickly as her aching body would allow. When Ruddi started to flail, Lucas tilted his head and whined a little. He hadn't wanted to upset his new friend but-...before Lucas had time to do anything, Elayne had called him, distracting him from Ruddi entirely. The tone of her voice sounded odd...was something wrong...? Turning his back on Ruddi, the Arcatales bounded towards Elayne, wondering exactly what had happened. Meanwhile at the castle, Elly bolted upright from where she had been lying next to Rai. Something was wrong...very wrong...and right then all the Espeon knew was that she had to get to Elayne now. Panicked, Elly raced down the hallway towards where she knew Elayne had gone. She had to get to Elayne...that was the only thing she was thinking about; something was wrong and all Elly could hope was that she wasn't too late.[/scrolly]

[Jay]

The kick hit knuckles causing Simeon to flinch back briefly giving Elayne enough time to actually get up and run, but even as the girl screamed for her pokemon, Simeon went after her. With surprising speed that only came with a viciously strong physique, Simeon made after Elayne quickly closing range and making to tackle her in another moment. "Don't think you can get away!" the redhead snarled making to once again tighten his grip on her. "I'll make you sorry you tried getting away from me!" he hissed possessively.

Ruddi growled as the fire pokemon made to run, and almost instantly he released an Outrage.

As Elly all but flew up, Rai fell forwards hitting the ground in the process. Wait what? <Elly?> the Espeon called, but it seemed she was already down the hallway and headed towards the front. Even from there, though, he could all but feel her fear and urgency. There was only one reason that he could think of that she'd drop anything so quickly, and his entire body went on edge in the process. However, rather than chase after his mate, he ran a different pattern and made his way upstairs to Haii. All but breaking through the door, the Espeon hissed a little at the headache that came with knocking into wood. 'HAIIRO SOMETHING IS WRONG! ELLY JUST RAN OFF! SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO ELAYNE!' the Espeon psychically yelled.

The dark haired man standing in the window flinched as his head darted back towards the Espeon, but before he could say anything, Haiiro found himself rushing towards the door. Whatever he had been thinking or anticipating maybe, the dark haired man didn't know, but Rai'd just hit a berserker button rather quickly. The Espeon simply turned and started running leading the way towards Elly, and Haiiro was all but at his heels even then.

The force of the tackle combined with Simeon's weight hurt, even more so when she felt him tighten his grip on her. No doubt both falls had succeeded in at least bruising, if not breaking a few ribs. Hearing Simeon's threat, Elayne tried to kick, hit, struggle...anything to get away from him. Fear was overriding any common sense that she might have had at the moment or Elayne would have thought to release one of her other Pokemon to hopefully distract Simeon enough to let her get away. This was the last thing on Elayne's mind however as she continued to struggle against Simeon despite how much it hurt. Lucas yelped when he got hit by the Outrage and shook his head, wondering why the dragon-bird-thing had hurt him. Turning back to Ruddi, the Arcatales barked a challenge, thinking this was still just a fun game, before using DragonBreath. Elly continued to run, oblivious to anyone or anything except getting to Elayne as quickly as possible. If she could find another Pokemon to teleport her to the gardens that would be easier but there was no time for that. Instead, Elly used a few Quick Attacks in succession to speed herself up in a desperate attempt to get to Elayne. The horrible feeling she had back at the castle was increasing which only served to add to her worry and concern. Hopefully she wouldn't be too late...[/scrolly]

[Jay]

As Elayne struggled, hit, kicked, flailed, pretty much anything, Simeon took the blows but not without retaliation. Instead, he raised a free fist and made to smash it down on her shoulder blade while making to grab her shirt, pants, anything to keep her from getting away. "STOP SQUIRMING BITCH!" Simeon roared venomously making to hit with his free hand again.

The Dragonbreath hit spot on for once, and suddenly the Druddigon went falling back at least for a moment. Picking himself up quickly, Ruddi managed to continue his Outrage venomously.

Haiiro was running as fast as his legs would carry him despite the motion causing an ache to his arm. He didn't care at the moment even as he made a dashing motion past a few rooms and offices. Finally coming out to the front, he didn't even stop as both he and Rai passed the gates of the castle and headed out towards-- Serenity Gardens? Damn it what was going on?

Beside her was Kiara , her ralts and she was making sure her trainer wold not fall. " Careful Cora." the ralts warned. Cora smiled and laughed softly " I will be, don't worry so much." Cora said. Over the time she had been in the castle she had gotten close to Kiara , seeing she did not have Charizard to talk to Kiara was the next best thing. Cora slowly took steeps and was starting to get the hang of it when a blur of purple zoomed past her, almost causing her to fall over. " Whoah!!! Where's the fire!! Was that Elly??" Cora asked in shock as she was able to stop herself from falling over with the help of Kiara . The Ralts nodded, " Yes, and something is wrong.. She is worried about Elayne." Kiara said. Cora's eyes grew wide and she started to make her way to the gates. If Elly was worried something must be wrong but due to her leg she would not be able to keep up with Elly. "Kiara get on my shoulder we are going to fly." Cora said as she picked up Kiara and placed her on her shoulder. Once outside the castle gates Cora took out Charizard's pokeball and called him out. The huge fire type stretched his wings, he rarely got out of that pokeball nowdays.. He then looked over at Cora and frowned, " Cora, whats wrong?" he asked. " Something is wrong I just saw Elly run past me, and she is worried about Elayne. I can't chase after her I need you to fly me." Cora said walking closer to Charizard. The fire type nodded and helped Cora get onto his back, with a few powerful beats of his wings Charizard was air born and took to the sky, he spotted Elly from the air and started to follow her. " Elayne please be alright.." Cora said as she clung to Charizard. [/scrolly]

Crying out as the pain hit her with all the force of a sledgehammer, Elayne stopped struggling briefly, if only enough to attempt to catch her breath. It was getting increasingly difficult to breathe with Simeon's weight on top of her but Elayne wasn't about to just give up. When Simeon yelled and hit her again on her in the same place as before, a sickening crunch could be heard as the bone broke underneath the force. Elayne all but screamed at the second punch and immediately stopped trying to get away as she fought to remain conscious. Lucas was torn. He wanted to help Elayne but at the same time Ruddi wasn't letting him get to his trainer. Seeing the Outrage come again, he made a split second decision and bolted towards his trainer, using Protect as he did so. With any luck Ruddi would get confused next but first he had to stop Elayne from geting hurt. Bounding over to where Simeon and Elayne were, Lucas made to pull Simeon off of Elayne, hoping that Ruddi wouldn't interfere this time. Elly could hear Elayne's scream and ran that much faster towards where she knew her trainer was. She had to get there! Why couldn't she move faster!!! Using several Quick Attacks boosted her speed enough that Elly was able to come to the place where Elayne was. Seeing Simeon and Elayne together made Elly hiss as she realized that that monster was responsible for this. Lucas was trying to help but with the Druddigon there he wasn't able to do much. With as much power as she could muster, Elly used Psychic to throw Ruddi as far away from Elayne and Simeon as she could before racing towards her trainer. Hopefully that would give Lucas enough time to get Simeon off...if not she wouldn't hesitate to retaliate should the man so much as approach Elayne again.[/scrolly]

[Jay]

To Ruddi...the world was now spinning...and multicolored... Dude...when did the world get so far out man? he wondered to himself getting more than a little distracted as the world continued to spin about like some obscure top. If he had actually had the thought capacity to know what was going on, he would have realized he was confused....but he didn't and thus ended up just sitting there dazed and watching the spiraling that was going about in his own mind now.

...Eh? Suddenly he was in the air? Oh look! The ground was coming back again. Umph... well that had kinda hurt....

The scream that rippled the air reached as far as the gates of the castle, and quite a few grass pokemon that were outside seemed to freeze being more than a little perterbed over what could possibly have happened. Those that were inside probably didn't hear though, though something caused Feliciano to look up from his work then and there. Frowning as he stared out at the window leading not towards the front but to the side, he sighed and wondered if work was just getting to him or something. "Something wrong, Feliciano?" Lance asked. The blond looked back to the greying blond and shook his head. "It's nothing," he reassured.

Simeon couldn't help but get some sort of sick satisfaction at the cry of pain from Elayne. Damn straight that was what she deserved for hitting and kicking him! He'd make it to where she'd never even think of fighting back ever again! "You damn wretch," he hissed raising his arm yet again only to suddenly find teeth around it. Simeon's head jutted sideways towards the creature that was attacking, but before he could do anything, he was suddenly thrown off. Hitting the ground a short ways away, Simeon flinched and looked venomously at the fire hybrid. "Why you little.." he snarled.

Haiiro just kept running. The pain in his arm was becoming more than an annoyance, but he didn't care. Suddenly the thought hit him that he had pokemon, and almost instantly the dark haired man fished out a pokeball releasing Isa in the process. "Find Elayne and take me to her now," Haiiro snarled out causing Isa to freeze in fear for a second. She didn't understand what was going on but quickly did as was asked anyways. In an instant Haiiro found himself on the scene, and for a brief moment, all he could do was stare. "You bastard what did you do?" Haiiro roared more than angry.

[Baroness Charmissey]

Cora eyes winded when she heard Elayne scream. something was wrong. Charizard picked up his speed as if reading Cora's mind. When they got closer Cora let put a loud gasp. Elayne was being attacked!! Thank god Elly and Haii got their. But now anger come to Cora as her features darkened. Just who was this bastard!! No matter he would pay for attacking her sister!! " YOU BASTARD!!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SISTER!!! she screamed in fury. This made both Charizard and Kiara wince, " Charizard!! Dive down and try to hit him with your tail!!" Cora ordered. "Kiara teleport to Elayne and help protect her!! Take Treecko with you!" Cora said as she called out the grass pokemon. Kiara nodded placeing a hand on Treecko and they both dissappered into light and reappered in front of Elayne. The two then got into a battle stance ready to fight. Mean while Charizard dove down trying to smack Simeon with his tail before pulling back up again.



Mean while not to far off Justice was flying on Aria, her Tropius. She had been on the road for a long time till her brother found hetr, now she was on her way to the castle with her brother. Justice smiled as the castle came into view though part of her was nervous. She was going to meet the ones Miggy often spoke about in his letters and the duke... Justice smiled and looked over at her brother to say something but a scream hit the air. Justice's eyes grew wide and her head shot forward. " Oh no! Did you hear that Miggy?? Someone is in trouble! Fly Aria fly!" Justice said, Aria cried out and started to pick up speed.
