At first, he hadn't believed what he overheard from passerby... a bombing in the Capital? Just the idea seemed to Farfetch'd to Xavier. Yet... it didn't take long for the reality to sink in; people were dead, a bomb did go off, and no one was sure who to blame. Xavier already had his speculations, however; the Rebels. It was just typical of them, really... to do such radical, violent things. Anarchists... he couldn't stand them. He just couldn't stand them.
He was roused by a small cry and turned to look towards the front of the shelter, noticing a small girl come in. She looked fine, but was crying heavily. With a frown, he approached her and knelt down, tapping her shoulder. "Oii, are you okay?" He asked softly, the girl looking to him and shaking her head, clinging to a Miltank doll. "I can't find mommy..." She whined with a small hiccup. Xavier's brow furrowed and he stood, taking her by the hand and leading the girl towards a staff member, muttering her situation into their ear. The member sighed but nodded, taking the girl from him. He could only watch with a heavy heart.
A hand suddenly fell onto his shoulder and he turned, finding himself face to face with his father. "Dad?" At first, Xavier was shocked, but quickly recovered and pressed himself into the older man for a tight hug, to which Jacob returned. "I was wondering where you were when..." He spoke, trailing off with a shake of his head. "It is such a shame." He released Xavier, adopting a somber visage.
Just with his father's appearance, Xavier felt more at ease, one more paranoia put to rest. His father was alright. He could care less about their quarrel over his orientation, he... still loved his father, and it was such a relief to see him alright. "I'm glad you're okay..." He mumbled, Jacob nodding his silent agreement, glancing around the shelter briefly. "I thought I might find you here... but that's enough banter." He said suddenly, frowning deeply and taking on a pensive look. "I am the bearer of very bad news, so... let us find somewhere to sit." He then turned, looking around the shelter. Ugh, it was so crowded and disgusting... "Outside." He then added, starting outdoors.
Xavier followed, having become very nervous about this 'news'. If there was one thing he knew about his father, 'news' was never a good thing, coming from him. The last time he had 'news' it was about him breaking up with mother, and prior to that it had been... what... bad business, he thinks. It was never good, regardless, and with what happened just recently... it had to relate to that. But how? Did someone he know die? Or was this just business related?
Finally coming to a stop outside, Jacob sighed and turned, fixing Xavier with a calculating look. "This is enough, even if there is nowhere to sit, its outside of that cramped place." He fell silent for a moment, considering Xavier, before dropping his gaze to the ground, looking very remorseful. "I wish I'd never have to say something like this, Xavier, but... your mother is dead." He paused, heaving another heavy sigh and looking at Xavier, whose face was riddled with shock. "She had been shopping, when... it happened." Another pause. "I'm sorry."
Yet Xavier wasn't listening anymore. He simply stared at his father, trying to absorb the information he just told him. His mother was... dead? But no, she couldn't be... she was very much alive the last time he saw her, just a few days prior. It wasn't true. Every aspect of his mind fervently denied it, but... the look on Jacob's face, and... just... "You're wrong." He snapped suddenly, taking a step backwards, looking panicked. "She's fine! She's at home, and... probably worried sick! You're wrong, father!" His voice became higher pitched as he ranted on, turning on his heel suddenly and throwing a Poke'ball forward, releasing Orli the Dragonite from within. "Home, Orli, hurry!" He called, leaping onto her back. The Dragonite took off immediately, neither of them taking a backwards glance to Jacob.
Jacob hummed, a wide smirk taking over his previously somber features. "Oh no, I'm far from wrong my dear boy..." He mumbled, watching Orli vanish in the distance. He then began to laugh, turning on his heel and walking away. "And you won't find her there..." He chuckled further, pleasantly amused. Of course it had been a lie; Casey hadn't died in the blast, not at all. However, the bombing did make for a good cover-up for... murder. It was all too convenient to pass up.
"One down, one to go..." Jacob sneered, laughing once more, before leaving the scene.

The Growlithe squeaked, looking back over at the Ninetales. She... she was so smart! <Would you... would you really?!> She said, clearly excited, her tail beginning to wag. The Rhyperior grinned and stepped forward, performing a small bow. <Of course, little one... it will be a good way for me to reintroduce myself into the wild.> He said with a slight sigh, but then looked up determinedly. This would be his first challenge, and he would do it with honor! Nodding, he looked into the trees, seeing if he could spy any berries.
The Serperior grinned as the Poke'ball came into view and leaned forward, meeting the ball half-way. It absorbed her in and clicked shut in an instant.
Name: Species: Serperior Gender: Female Ability: Overgrow
Personality: This Serperior is a native of Tanglethorn Jungle, and a rather calm one at that. She is extremely patient and graceful in her ways, as well as level-headed in her thinking. When encountering a problem, she will use intuition and cunning tactics to solve it, or to avoid violence altogether. She doesn't like to battle, but if forced to, would be an extremely strong opponent. However, there is nothing more this grass-type would love more than to just lay out under the shade of a tree, basking in the peace of the world.

His eyes were swollen enough, glaring only strained them more than he had to. "Whatever..." He grumbled, leaning his head back onto Pookins, whom only looked at him with a sharp eye before giving a small lick to his temple. It seemed even she knew how dire the situation was.
The other cats had an idea, but weren't exactly sure. To them, Miss Nubbins was sick and just had to be treated... thats what Felix told them, anyway. They simply nuzzled into their master's sides, huddling for warmth and protection in such a crowded, foreign place;even Maya was a bit uneasy, which was odd for the level-headed Poke'mon.
KITTY turned in her seat and regarded Felix for a moment, pressing both paws onto his chest and leaning up to nuzzle his chin. Felix looked down at her, noticing the sadness in her eyes... so she knew too, eh? ... stifling a subtle sob, the man leaned forward and hugged the Zorua, his hair falling to hide his face from view.
This just sucked. [/scrolly] |

The man himself sat on the floor, leaning against Pookins the Luxray that was settled just behind him, while the other eight smaller cats settled around him; KITTY the Zorua taking his lap, Misa-Misa the Skitty and Matsuda the Glameow huddled together on his left side, Marissa the Purrmeow hybrid and Miss Tuffsey (his second Skitty) cuddled into his right, Boo! the melanistic Eevee and Maya the Torchorua laying just in front, with Narukins the Eevoura perched just on his left shoulder. It was an odd site, but Felix could care less right now... one of his darlings, his most precious pet, was missing;
Miss Nubbins... his very first cat, his most treasured, and his best friend.
He hadn't found Nubbins until after the initial commotion... he heard of the Commercial District being bombed, or something, and was planning on heading over to loot any possible stores he could find... a distraction was always nice... but he hadn't planned on coming across his darling Skitty in such a... condition... Felix grunted, shaking his head and looking up his spot on the floor, glaring daggers at the people around him with bloodshot eyes, his eye patch pushed down around his neck. Yes, he had cried, and even now he was stifling a sob, but that didn't matter. He just needed to know Nubbins would be okay.
His gaze shifted to Nathan, a growl coming up from his throat. He was so distracting, it just... annoyed him... and everyone was so loud... "Shutup!" He finally yelled, throwing his arms up over his head in an attempt to muffle the noise. Ugh, this just sucked... he just wanted to get Nubbins and go... [/scrolly] |

Xavier: Will initially not believe it, but after accepting the truth (whether it be by convincing or seeing the destruction himself), will automatically link the deed with the Rebels, having seen their violent methods in the past first-hand. If anything, he will be more angry towards the Rebellion, and it may just be enough to push him onto the Nobles' side and take a more active role against them. He will also be worried for those he holds dear, and check up on everyone just to soothe his paranoia.
Felix: At first, his reaction will be to try and loot and plunder any abandoned shops for spare cash. Already being desensitized to the conflicts within Era, he really could care less about who did what, that is... until he discovers the explosion killed one of his darling cats, whom had been wandering about that day (This is still being debated, however, because I am too kind of a soul). If I do go through with this idea, Felix will be... distraught, which is never good for someone already so far-gone. He may even snap and go ape-shit crazy on anyone that comes near him... Felix the mass murderer? Who knows...
Ryuu: Ryuu will have been working on a suit for a customer (most likely Lance) when the explosion took place. He didn't investigate the sound of the blast however, being too preoccupied in his work (time is money!) and figuring it was just a battle or something. After finding out the truth, however, he will be... well, shocked for starters. And scared, being the generally timid guy he is. He was never one for violence, however, and will find it hard to take active part in the war... however, he will offer help to those families that need it, in any little way that he can.
Jacob: For some reason or another, doesn't really seem to care... or so he claims, anyway. He feels this incident is awfully convenient and may use the confusion to his advantage. How? Only time will tell...

The second apology couldn't go unexcused, and Xavier reached over to tickle his fingers against his side quickly, before reclaiming them. "Enough of that." He mused, grinning at the man before he began speaking again. The Ampharos what-now? He blinked, curiosity showing in his eyes as Felis explained further... huh, only once every forty years? "When does it bloom next?" He inquired, but was cut short as Felis pointed out something.
At first, he looked down into the enclosure, but as Felis leaned forward he reached over to seize his arm. "Oii, be careful! Its unsteady." He said, peering back down into the pits below. Ah, there it was again! Something shone, but... "I wonder what it is... Bethany!" He called, unhitching a Poke'ball from his belt and loosing the Butterfree from within. As the butterfly materialized, it looked around curiously, before landing on Xavier's head. "Can you go see what that is down there? If you can bring it back up, that'd be great." He asked, Bethany nuzzling his head before lifting off, heading down into the enclosure.
((Do we need a mod for whats down here, if its a Poke'mon? I'm a lil clueless. xD;))

The Growlithe blinked at the question directed towards her, before jumping up suddenly. <Oh! I'm looking for berries!> She chimed, looking fairly anxious. <My mum is poisoned and she said berries would help! But... I forgot which kind...> She whined, turning tail and running back to the log she came out of, peering into it keenly before taking a step back. <I thought I saw some in here but then there was a lot of noise, so I hid.> She finished, the Rhyperior rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, grumbling a quiet apology.
The Serperior was indeed a friendly soul, one to never really cause harm unless it was in defense of the things she held dear. Violence wasn't the answer, really... hence her method of calming the Rhyperior down. Anything can be solved with a little intuition, in her opinion. As Jade made her proposal, the Serperior craned her neck to look around the forest thoughtfully, reflecting on whom she would be leaving behind. But... the girl said she would allow the grass-type to visit, and that alone spoke volumes about her kindness. Looking back down at her, the Serperior grinned and nodded, crooning a small "Serr." in agreement; she would go.

Ouch. The initial dryness from Felis caught Xavier off guard, and his expression fell into a slight frown, but immediately flat-lined as he continued. At the mention of previous relationship gone bad, he had to mentally sigh; it was a bit frustrating, but understandable. Yet it did bug him... Xav would never dare to hurt his feelings, but... he couldn't blame him. He wouldn't dare.
He grinned subtly, nodding slowly at the end of it all. "That's all I can ask for, really." He replied, perhaps a tad downbeat, but it was okay. He wasn't angry in the slightest, merely... daunted. Felis was hanging back due to some relationship in the past, and just that alone gave the red-head standards he had to live up to, or surpass. It was more complicated than he wanted but... worth it. "Thank you."
Xavier turned then, taking a few steps down the path, seemingly focusing his attention elsewhere, while in truth he was busied in his thoughts. However, a glint did catch his eye, and he paused to look downwards into what looked like an enclosure. Was he seeing things, now?

((So I just realized the Serperior started out as a male, but then turned female in one of Kero's posts. Lets continue under the assumption that she is, indeed, female. xD Okay?))
The tiny Growlithe blinked as Donatra called out to her, raising up her head slightly from her cowered position. The call seemed friendly enough but... she then fixed the Rhyperior with a worried look, the large Poke'mon noticing and taking a few steps backwards, attempting to calm the little one down. <I'm not gunna hurtcha.> He rumbled quietly, the small Growlithe perking up once more; they seemed friendly enough! <H... hello...> She whispered, pawing the ground nervously.
Meanwhile, the Serperior craned her neck, looking down at Jade with an inquisitive look. At her words, a subtle smirk crossed the serpent's maw, her eyes softening gently. It was... interesting; she hadn't met a human quite like this girl. Most others would just come charging, flailing Poke'balls left and right and challenge her to a battle. It was exhausting. Yet... she was at ease here, perfectly comfortable. It was nice. She purred, acknowledging this fact and leaning down to nuzzle Jade once more; she would love to be friends.

At first, the Rhyperior was startled when the fire caught his eye, and turned to give Donatra a wary look before noticing her nod. Blinking, he simply nodded his head as well, understanding the notion; she would be careful. She knew what she was doing. Things would soon be okay.
The Serperior hummed gently, considering Jade's question before nodding slowly, crooning her reply. Yes, she had... although, like the girl, she had learned to adapt with her losses. She was a level-headed Grass-type, all things considered. She flicked her tail towards the trashed forest that the other two were attempting to clean. "Servine Serrrr Vine." She stated, saying how she had lost this part of the forest. But it was okay. It would grow again.
Suddenly, a small yelp escaped one of the uprooted tree trunks that dotted the landscape. It was set ablaze by Donatra's flamethrower, but it sounded like something was inside! The Rhyperior blinked and lifted the trunk, tipping it... only to have an Albino Growlithe tumble out. The small pup yelped again, looking around nervously before cowering in fear under the large Poke'mon. It looked smaller than most...

The Rhyperior listened as Donatra and Jade spoke, his sniffling slowing ever so slightly. They... were very nice! "Rhyyyy~" He crooned gently, taking two large steps towards Donatra, before slumping forward in an awkward bow for such a large size. He was thankful for their understanding, that was for certain. Yet... he turned, grumbling somewhat under his breath as he surveyed the damage he caused. He... he would fix it! "Rhyp! Rhyperiorrrr!" He cried out in sudden enthusiasm, stating how he'd use this this opportunity to make the forest a better place. Especially if it was his new home! With a nod, he started to work, picking up any loose branches.
The Serperior smiled gently, looking down to Jade curiously. "Serrr..." She had lost people too? It seemed everyone did in this place... she wasn't naive as to the war... with a shake of her head, the Serperior leaned forward and nuzzled against Jade's cheek, comforting her and thanking her for stopping the destruction to the forest!

X A V I E R--- Perhaps he was a bit too trusting. That was always a fault of Xavier's that was for sure; he was too open. Too easy-going. Too... well... trusting. Especially in times of immediate danger such as these... he would of followed a convicted killer if it meant getting him out of such a heinous, horrible, haunted place. ...Well, perhaps not a killer but... maybe... well... these girls didn't look like killers, right? The little one was just a dainty little daisy out for a stroll, and the other was... was... he blinked, daring to take a sideways glance over to Trish. She was quite dark, wasn't she... but... that didn't have to mean anything!
Rousing himself from his blabbering mind process, Xavier blinked at the odd-colored Ninetales that was in front of him. A fire-type only meant... "Light!" He practically rejoiced, barely resisting the urge to throw his arms around the Poke'mon. "Oh thank Arceus, we have light." He sighed, his quivering still noticeable, but tuned down substantially since this new development.
However, a snap of a twig nearby caused his body to twitch, and he quickly grabbed Otsuyu's hand, smiling widely despite the horrified look in his eyes. "Can we just... get to it, dear?" He said sheepishly, peering off into the Grove uneasily. Ugh, he would be sick if he stayed here...

As the Serperior slithered back to Jade's side, the Rhyperior's face only sagged more in seeming sadness, the large Poke'mon sniffing slightly before breaking into a fit of bubbly hiccups and tears. "Rhyyyy... Rhyperrrr..." He whined in between sobs, making gestures towards the forest he had destroyed. He... hadn't meant to, he explained. He was just so upset, and needed to vent. He pointed a stubby finger at Donatra, then to Jade, before gesturing to himself sadly. It appears he too had a trainer... or at least he used to...
The Serperior hummed gently, shaking her head sadly, before craning her neck around to Donatra. "Serr, Serperior Ser..." What a sad sight this was. The Grass-type never had a trainer herself, but did have friends of her own that got captured and taken away. Losing any type of friend was troublesome... she supposed the same could be said about trainers.

'Well, aren't you just a charming man, Xavier?' The small and diabolical voice of his conscious whispered, causing Xavier to sigh quietly. Any previous offense he had felt dissolved completely, leaving behind a subtle trace of guilt. Once again, he had brought out what looked to be discomfort in Felis, which... was both vexing and encouraging. He never wanted to cause discomfort, but the fact that he could be so raw and open around Xav, gave the red-head some hope.
He ignored the urge to tickle Felis for his use of sorry, finding the matter at hand far too delicate to play-off with silly traditions. Instead, he reached forward to press his fingertips to the underside of Felis' chin, raising it up gently to guide his line of sight unto himself. That too, seemed like it had become a habit, he thought bemusedly. "I'm sorry if this seems so sudden. I'm not exactly the best at bottling my emotions." He said gently, taking his hand back before looking towards the horizon briefly.
He then shook his head, looking back to Felis with an easy smile. "You don't have to say anything, if you don't want to. But... think about it. About us." He then paused, snorting gently before a grin sprawled itself onto his face sheepishly. "I know I certainly do."

In fact, the shock only served to stun him for a moment, after which he turned to regard Pookins critically, yet remained silent. He knew better than to confront one of Felix's cats... in the short time he'd been owned by the man, it was glaringly obvious how he took to them. Instead, he simply folded his arms and backed off, watching Felix for a cue of some sort.
Yet no cue came, as the red-head was preoccupied trying to bat off a large lioness. "Pookins, its fine, just let... me.... agh!" He coughed, being rapped on the head by the feline. "Silence. Don't make me shock you." She threatened, Felix gulping somewhat before sulking, pointing towards Seles. "At least let me check her for loot!" He argued back, to which the feline ignored. She was far too busy getting the dirt off his-
Her ears twitched, hearing the Sceptile's words. A gleaming eye looked up to fix Aloe with a calculating stare, before standing. "I will have you know that I am not his matriarch. I am his master. And I do not take kindly to those who would dirty my pet." She crooned, Felix staggering up to his feet. "But... you're my pet..." He said, Pookins turning to sneer at him once, causing him to sink back to his bum. Satisfied, she turned back to Aloe. "As compensation, you can give us anything valuable your play-thing has." She said, nodding towards Seles. [/scrolly] |

The laughter that met his ears caused Xavier to shift his gaze back onto Felis, a cross between bewilderment and embarrassment in his eyes. However, he looked away again at being called silly, something sinking in his stomach. Silly. Yes, that's what it was. He couldn't quite explain why it impacted him so, yet he was just left feeling so... foolish, a flare of doubt rising from within.
However, it vanished within the next moment, as Felis stated he should have done that sooner. Huu? He perked somewhat, looking back over to him, becoming captivated by the other's bemused face. It... had a charm to it, Xavier's own lips twitching into the ghost of a smile. He just couldn't help it; as terribly embarrassed as he was, hearing Felis laugh seemed to pick him up.
Yet as he spoke again... the half-smile quickly contorted into a frown, brown eyes giving the blond a critical stare, calculating. Part of him was slightly offended, yet the other understood why he'd wonder such a thing. "I may be a goof from time to time, but do you think I'd toy with someone in that manner?" He broke his silence with the question, features softening up considerably. For some reason, he felt more confident. "I'm not a flirt, Felis. It takes a lot from me to... do those things."

[img]http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/40/Spr_5b_154_m.png[/img] Name: Species: Meganium Gender: Female Ability: Overgrow
This is a rather excitable Meganium, the smallest bit of good news enough to send her into a spree of cheers and prancing. She always tries to think positive, look positive, act positive, and thus has become a role model for younger Poke'mon. She adores children (human and Poke'mon alike) and will often give them rides on her back or head. Despite her excitable nature, she is otherwise very elegant and relaxed in her ways, content to make friends at leisure. However, if anyone she loves becomes threatened, look out! She will defend them until the bitter end.
It was then Xavier realized that Lance truly didn't have a clue, did he? Xavier could have died right then and there, but swallowed his pride and simply nodded dumbly as the blonde complimented himself. Perhaps he would... wake up... and come to find out this all had just been one really, really weird dream. But... good-looking, eh? ... despite the mental scars and confusion that came from hearing Lance speak them, of all people really, it did... feel nice. He supposed, anyway. ...Best to try and forget that ever happened.
With a stern shake of his head, Xavier roused himself and observed the silver case within Lance's grasp, nodding somewhat before laughing at the reasoning behind it. "Annoy him, eh?" He mused, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "My own father seems to indulge in cigarettes as well... hmm?" He blinked as the question was posed to him, yet blinked again as the subject finally shifted to the weather.
With a sigh, a slight shiver ran down Xavier's spine at the snow's touch. "I dunno, I think I'd rather have rain. At least it'd be warmer." He sighed, rummaging through his bag, only to discover he had left his hoodie with his mother. 'Wonderful...' He mentally groaned, before standing straight and turning to Lance with a bow. "I seem to have forgotten my apparel at my mother's, so I'm booking an inn tonight. I'd better get going before it gets dark. But... thank you, again, for taking Kimi off my hands. I'll be able to rest easy." He smiled, standing up and reaching out to pat the Meganium. "We ought to have lunch or something, sometime." He then politely suggested, smiling over at Lance.

It hadn't lasted long, yet it was enough to send Xavier's mind reeling. He pulled back, looking rather dumbstruck for a moment, before his head finally put two-and-two together, and- oh Arceus. He looked sharply at Felis, a spot of panic in his eyes, mouth parted and ready to apologize, until... he didn't look angry. Was he? Well, its not like it was exactly 'new'; Felis had smooched him earlier. But... he hadn't initiated anything himself, had he? Either way, there was something there, some feeling, that told him it couldn't be overlooked this time around. Nor did he want to, really.
With a slight sigh, Xavier softened, folding his arms gently across his chest and considering Felis with a wistful eye. "You'll have to excuse me; for some reason or another, I've felt very compelled to do that for the past..." For how long now? It was something he hadn't thought of, really... how long had he been harboring this desire? "...For quite a while, really. Its been rather subtle, but..." Oh lord, he must sound like a crazed stalker or something. It was frustrating, not saying what he wanted to really, yet he couldn't find the words. He huffed a little, finally turning his gaze to the side, away from it all. "I'll... shutup now." He mumbled, defeated.
