Upon finding her arms full, Rosa giggled a little and smiled warmly. This... He was just like her stuffies at home! ._. Though alive... Annie found herself grinning ear to ear upon seeing the motions before finally looking at the Linoone and realizing she could probably ask what had happened. 'So.... what did happen?' she finally inquired. Sheryl floated overhead watching the bear and the child carefully. [/scrolly]

As he was moved between the girls, the little bear seemed to stay calm. He continued to watch Rosa curiously and at her reactions to holding him, he slowly smiled. These two girls were nice! He liked them a lot. One was cute, like him! The other was more motherly and caring and he quickly realized he attributed those traits to Linoone. This made him even happier and he was certainly glad for their help.

The Linoone watched all this with a smile before looking at Annie. <Oh, it was just a Noctowl that was a bit desperate for something to eat. She tried to take Teddiursa, but I was able to fight her off. It's not the first time something like this has happened to him, though, so when I heard humans in the area, I was able to peek in on you guys. I saw the two of them catch Pokemon without feeling the need to battle them so... I thought that maybe, one of these girls might want to take him with them. I'd... honestly rather stay here,> she explained.

The Natu was still looking a bit huffy but with the explanation and apology, he relaxed again. <I don't know about others, but his siblings tried to scare him into using Teleport. They'd poke, prod, and yell at him when he was younger but it wasn't enough to get the protective reaction most Abra give for some reason. Maybe you're right, though... Learning from his own species might be easier; I'm just wary that others could be the same as his brothers and sisters.> While he explained this, the other Psychic-type fidgeted. He hadn't meant to flinch like that... he was sure the reaction had hurt this new Pokemon's feelings.

He seemed so infatuated with the little girl. Maybe he would stay with her if the Linoone let Rosa take him. The linoone seemed to be a motherly figure. Standing to her feet she took one more look at Rosa and the Teddiursa before jogging back to her bag. Rooting through it she found her bandaids and grinned. Jogging back she kneeled beside Rosa and the baby pokemon. "Alrighty. I have the bandaids." Pulling out a couple she quickly opened them and put them on the cuts. Tucking the trash in her pocket she smiled. The bandaids actually had little stars on them. Moon listened and tilted her head. <Well that was mean. Don't worry. Cloud is nice. Though hes utterly infatuated with Kiki. Kiki is a ralts and could help him. Shes very kind and likes to make others happy. You know you could come with. That way you wouldn't have to worry.> Noticing the psychic figetting she tilted her head to the other side. Lifting her paw she patted his head again. She knew some pokemon had issues. <By the way I wasn't kidding about the Wingull. She absolutely terrified of water. Silly isn't she?> This time she spoke to the Abra trying to cheer him up. Moon was used to having different reactions from pokemon. It was part of being with Rikka since she had hatched. She wasn't used to being wild and never really had a hard time. Rikka was always forgiving and often would just cuddle them till they were all happy again. [/scrolly]

"There! All better, and look stars~!" she giggled a bit to herself nodding her head slowly. This bear was so cute! Just like her stuffies and home and and and so squishable and and and and ya o3o. After a moment, Rosa rubbed her cheek up against the little bear and giggled. "You're so soft!" she grinned. Annie seemed to soften her visage quite a lot and nodded to the Linoone. <Ah, I understand> she answered back looking at Rosa and the Teddiursa before looking back at the Linoone again. <Rosa's already pretty clingy of the little one> she chuckled a bit to herself. <Though I can understand wanting to stay in the wild.... I doubt either of these two would force you to come.> She nodded her head reassuringly at her own words. [/scrolly]

[Ball Rat]

The Teddiursa stayed still while the bandaids were being put on. Smiling at Rikka afterward, he seemed quite grateful. Once the younger girl piped up, however, he was blushing slightly and covered his nose in embarrassment. Flattered embarrassment, but that wasn't the point. He was now more glad than ever that he was blessed with his teddy bear visage. It got him this kind of attention<3 The Linoone chuckled softly as well before nodding to Annie. <I'm glad. I'm just so used to being out here that I think it would be awkward to be caught by a human. He's in nearly constant danger so...> She shrugged a little, hoping this cemented the Whimsicott's understanding. Not that she thought she absolutely needed to explain further.

At the explanation and reassurance, the Natu nodded. <Oh? Well... I suppose coming along wouldn't hurt anything. What do you think, Abra? You can slowly learn how to Teleport and we'll still grow together.> Looking up, the Abra's gaze shifted between the two. After a long moment, he nodded. Seemed like a good idea. This Umbreon seemed quite nice, so her trainer couldn't be all that mean, could she?

"Rosa how bout you ask if he wants to go with you." From the way he had been hurt she had a feeling this hadn't been the first time. Plus the two looked really cute together. Blinking she turned toward the Linoone. "You don't mind do you?" She didn't want the Linoone mad at her. Moon watched and observed from her spot and watched the Abra. When he nodded Moon's ears perked up. <You'll love Rikka. She the best trainer anyone in the whole world could have. I've been with her since I was hatched.> Hopping to her feet she gently nudged the Abra and moved to walked back to the bag. Looking behind her she seemed to see if they were going to follow. She knew Rikka would be back soon. She had heard the girl return for something but hadn't taken her bag so yeah. [/scrolly]

"Oh! Would you? We could go back home and play all day and and and," Rosa was already getting ahead of herself again, it seemed. Thoughts were filling in her mind of fun things they could play back home, yet she was thinking so fast the little girl was actually having trouble stating them. [/scrolly]

[Ball Rat]

The Linoone quickly shook her head, smiling reassuringly at Rikka. She wasn't mad. It was what she was hoping for and she was glad for it. The little bear, however, blinked at the idea in surprise. Well, of course it would be fun... and this girl was much nicer than most of the wild Pokemon he'd met. Taking a glance at the badger-like Pokemon -- who smiled and waved her paws at him to urge him on -- he looked a little nervous at leaving her. The Teddiursa quickly smiled, though, when the other Pokemon seemed to want him to go. Turning his attention back to Rosa, he nodded repeatedly. Of course he'd go with her!

The Abra was much less flinchy now, only slightly twitching when he was nudged. He stood and shakily followed after with Natu hovering above his head. They both hoped this would work out.

"Would you like to go with too or..?" She wouldn't mind having a linoone but she wouldn't force her to go with. Looking over at Rosa and the Teddiursa she chuckled. The two were good together. Looking back at the Linoone she awaited an answer. Moon stopped by a bag and sat down. The curious Caerus jumped up and circled around the two wild pokemon before sitting and wagging his tail excitedly. <Hello I'm Caerus!> [/scrolly]

[Jay]

[atrb=style,background-image:url(http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc64/Heart-of-Thorns/rosatable2.png);color:#c93f71;][atrb=height,400][atrb=width,447][atrb=style,border:3 #c93f71 ridge,bTable][scrolly:h(270),w(205),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:65px;margin-left:20px;)]Though she had asked the question and had felt some sort of reassurance from Rikka on it, Rosa was ecstatic to see that the little cub wanted to come with her. Resisting the urge to squeeze the Teddiursa in a bear hug like she did with her stuffies, Rosa settled for something of a gentler hug and then pulled a pokeball from her pocket before holding it out to the Teddiursa to press. [/scrolly]

[Ball Rat]

Once asked again, the Linoone hesitated. Sure, she'd prefer to stay in the wild... but that was because she was used to it. Perhaps... experiencing something different would be good for her. After a long few minutes of thinking and staring at Rikka, she slowly nodded her head. Yes, she'd go with her! No reason not to, after all. The Teddiursa happily squeed, reaching out and quickly pressing the button on the Pokeball. It didn't wiggle at all and simply clicked shut, holding the little teddy bear firmly in Rosa's little hand.

Name:
Species: Teddiursa
Gender: Male
Ability: Quick Feet
Personality: Essentially a living teddy bear, {NAME} is a crybaby. The slightest nick will cause him to burst into tears and even the gentlest shove will make him whimper. He's very loving, however, and makes the perfect pet. His favorite food is not (surprisingly) honey, but instead he loves a certain type of weed called wood sorrel (real thing, look it up X3). This isn't to say he doesn't like honey... it just not his absolute favoritest thing of all time. This little bear enjoys wandering around with his trainer but asking him to battle is like asking a fly to try to hold up a fly swatter. Really... living teddy bear. Not much else.

The Abra jumped in surprise at the appearance of the Growlithe. He quickly moved to "hide" behind the Natu, though the bird was much smaller. Smiling, the little Flying-type waved one wing despite Caerus not being stationary. <Hello,> he offered to the rambunctious puppy.

Holding it out to the Linoone she let her have a chance to back out. She wanted to make sure she was absolutely certain. Caerus barked happily even as the Abra hid. Hopping up again he moved to the Abra and sniffed him. With out giving it a second thought he licked the Abra and sat down beside him and the Natu. He tail was still wagging excitedly. He loved new friends. [/scrolly]

"This will be fun Teddy!" she grinned to herself. Looking sideways at Rikka, Rosa watched and seemed to turn her head to one side hm... [/scrolly]

[Ball Rat]

The Linoone hesitated for only a moment before reaching out and bopping the device with her nose so it would open and pull her in. The Pokeball shook twice before laying still.

Name:
Species: Linoone
Gender: Female
Ability: Pickup
Personality: Very much preferring to be on her own, this creature is hesitant to be confined to a Pokeball. She will happily play the role of protector to anyone that needs said protecting and is loyal to her trainer. This Linoone feels that wild Pokemon are to be respected, having to deal with the dangers they do from day to day. She will always go easy on them if asked to battle them, unless they've already put someone else in danger. If left to her own devices, she very likely will wander off on her own to experience being "wild" again, despite knowing she'll never fully be such again. She kind of likes it this way, though.

The Abra had calmed down after a bit and was now just watching the Growlithe uncertainly. The lick made him squirm a little in discomfort, but it wasn't altogether a bad thing, so he didn't do anything else. The Natu chuckled softly and ruffled his feathers slightly, settling down to wait for the girls

What a wonderful addition to their family. She hoped the Linoone would come to love her companions. Looking to Rosa she smiled. "Ready to go get my stuff. We still need to find a nice place to camp." Darkness was already trying to take over leaving them with a little light. Rikka may just carry the girl through the night. She didn't mind staying up for a night if it meant they were safe. Caerus grinned his tail going a million miles an hour. <Will you be staying with us?> He hoped they would he liked the Shy Abra. The psychic was different then Cloud who only seemed to want to take care of Kiki. [/scrolly]

Yah... it was best to try and set down someplace and sleep .x. "Yah.." she answered back looking towards where the Temple was now a bit a ways away. "I think here would be good." she said looking back and nodding rather quickly. [/scrolly]

[Ball Rat]

<We are indeed,> answered the Natu after the other Psychic didn't answer even after a few minutes. He reached out a wing to poke at the Abra, causing him to flinch. As the human-like creature glanced over at the bird, he sighed.

<Um... y-yeah. We're likely going to even... come with you,> he explained quietly. After all this, he sure hoped the girl wouldn't turn them away. He thought it would be... kind of fun, he supposed. More than that, he hoped that being near a human would make him less paranoid. If nothing else, that would help him concentrate and then maybe he could Teleport.

Hearing the girls approaching, the Natu perked up. <There they are!> It must be them, right? The likelihood of any other humans being around at this time were slim, so... Taking off, he flew over and circled around their heads. He was careful, of course, to not get too close and scare them. It was clear that he wasn't trying to attack them, but was just greeting them in a way.

It was a pretty good spot. "Here sounds good. Lets go get my pack and we can set up here." Taking her hand she let Night jump down and lead the way back to where Moon and Caerus were. Upon getting close they were suddenly besieged by an enthusiastic Natu. Chuckling as she realized he wasn't attacking she held her arm out for him to perch if he wanted too. Spotting the Abra near Moon and Caerus she smiled. Moon jumped up and raced forward jumped to Rikka's shoulders. As the girl stopped near the pack, Moon jumped back down and gently nudged the Abra. He would love Rikka she was just the person he needed to help him. Caerus was practically leaping with joy and he twined around the girls. He acted as if he hadn't seen them in days. Plopping on his butt near Rosa he perked his ears. Looking to the abra he gave a lopsided grin. <You'll love Rikka! Shes the best in the world. She would love new companions.> [/scrolly]

[Jay]

[atrb=style,background-image:url(http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc64/Heart-of-Thorns/rosatable2.png);color:#c93f71;][atrb=height,400][atrb=width,447][atrb=style,border:3 #c93f71 ridge,bTable][scrolly:h(270),w(205),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:65px;margin-left:20px;)]Rosa grinned and nodded before following closer to Rikka as she walked back to the area with the pokemon. Upon seeing the Natu and the Abra, the young girl blinked trying to remember why the pokemon looked so familiar... Maybe she'd read about them in a -- oh yah! Miggy told her a story about an Abra once! Yes that was right wasn't it? Giggling and waving her hand over at the pokemon, Rosa then remembered her own pokemon and looked back for a moment before frowning. "You need... to rest," she finally said before returning Annie. However, just as Rosa went to return Sheryl, the Gastly avoided the motion and shook her head. She'd stay out here. Rosa blinked but slowly smiled again and sighed. "Ok..." she finally stated. [/scrolly]

[Ball Rat]

The Natu quickly landed again near the the Abra again when the girls came closer. He seemed chipper, looking between the girls curiously. Obviously, it had been indicated which of them was Rikka but this younger girl also seemed like a good person. The Abra shakily stood and tilted his head up to examine the red-haired girl. She... did certainly appear nice and her Pokemon were certainly fond of her. He would normally want to get to know someone first before accompanying them, but in this situation... he'd just be happy to learn how to Teleport correctly. Whatever she decided to do with him beyond that? He wouldn't mind whatever her decision was.

Unsure quite how to communicate their desire, the two Pokemon glanced at each other. The Abra tentatively reached out a hand, palm down, toward Rikka. It was similar to what someone might do to let an animal sniff her to show it she's not a threat. Really, all the Abra was trying to convey was that he was willing and he hoped it would be conveyed alright.
