Dwindling (Open)

It felt rather funny having shoes and shocks on while at the same time they were really cool looking! They also made funny sounds. Clunk, clunk, clunk. It was nothing like the slap of bare feet. He actually became so distracted with the new shoes he hadn’t even noticed where they were going until Rikka spoke again. “Ok”, was the soft, yet rather cheerful reply she received from Adam as the door was once again held open and he walked in. Kuu had been chuckling to himself as he watched Adam walked. He wasn’t sure if Adam realized it or not, but the way the young man was walking was rather funny. It was far from a normal walk and Kuu figured it was purely because he was excited about the shoes. The only worry Kuu had was how well Adam would adjust to wearing shoes daily. Well, it would be an interesting experience at the very lest. When they made it to the store, Kuu happily pranced in beside Adam. Vince on the other hand was not as impressed with the entire thing and more or less looked as if he were sulking. He was walking a good five feet behind the group, his head and eyes looking to the ground with every heavy foot step he took. By the time they made it to the store, Vince almost didn’t look like he was going to even enter. But at the last moment he slipped in, once again falling a few passes behind Adam as they began searching for the things they were their for. “Oh, bags” Adam pointed towards a section where he could see a few different bags set up. After pointing, he made his way towards them, still walking a bit funny with the new shoes on. [/scrolly] [bg=beige]

The shoes must have been very distracting and new. When they all walked in she watched Vince debate it seemed before following them in. It made her slightly sad to see him sulking so. Moving to catch up with Adam she smiled. "You look at the bags and I shall see if I can find a blanket with stars on them." Motioning for Moon to follow after she took Night with her to look at blankets. Moving through them she found the ones that were big enough for adults and were decorative. Humming to herself she went through them and found several blankets that were blue but they didn't have stars on them. Still she kept looking. Moon followed after Adam careful to stay away from Vince. Noticing the funny walk of Adam she chuckled to herself. He must not be used to wearing shoes like that. Sitting down near the bags she waited for Rikka to pick out the blanket and get back over here. Moon watched him then looked in the direction Rikka was. She wanted to be over there but she would watch Adam like Rikka wanted. Turning her head back she looked at Adam. Night watched Rikka go through the blankets and tilted his head. Jumping down onto the rack he weaved his way around the blankets and searched for one with stars and that was blue. Spotting two he let out a noise that sounded pretty close to a purr. Rikka looked over at him and smiled. Picking him up she kissed his nose and set him back on her shoulder. Grabbing the two Blankets she headed over to where Adam was. The second would be a spare.

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “Ok!” Adam agreed to Rikka suggestion to split up to look for the things they needed. Without another word he made his way to the bags and began to scan over them each very carefully. Kuu’s attention seemed to also be on the bags as his tiny nose wiggled as he searched. The only one not helping look was Vince who still seemed to be sulking and had sat at the end of the isle as he waited for them. “Have you been with Rikka for a long time?” Adam asked, his question aimed to Moon as he continued to search through the bags. He had spotted one that was a dark blue, but it had nothing else on it so he continued to look, “You take very good care of her.” After searching through a few more bags Adam finally spotted one that looked almost black. It was actually a very dark almost nave blue, which was only noticeable because the zippers and straps were a true black. It also had many small stars and moons all over it, with one larger moon on the center pocket. A huge smile grew on Adam’s face as he picked it up and showed it to the two pokemon. It was just in time for Rikka to come around the corner holding two bags. “Found one!” He claimed, looking up and spotting her. Moon simply chuckled at this before glancing over to Vince. The Absol rolled his eyes and looked away. <Now all we need is food.> Moon claimed, looking back up at Adam before looking over at Rikka, <Am I right? Or… have we forgotten anything else?> [/scrolly] [bg=beige]

It was rather amusing and cute. Like a kid in a candy store. Hearing his question she tilted her head. <Yes. I have been with her ever since I hatched.> Watching him pass over a dark blue one she tilted her head. Oh yeah no stars. Hearing his next comment she nodded. <If I didn't she would get hurt. She also has no sense of direction so would end of lost someplace. Plus Its impossible for me not to love her. Shes really good at taking care of us.> It was very evident she loved her trainer and even took pride in the fact. Rikka had always been there with her. Though normal people wouldn't know it, but Rikka could be hurt pretty easily if someone chose the right words. Moon watched him examine a bag then stood up herself. Perking her ears up her mood having improved she look to see Rikka rounding the corner with two blankets. Rikka smiled and showed him the blankets. "I found two. One can be an extra for those extra cold nights in the winter." Looking to Kuu she listened and had an idea of what he said. "Food now. Unless I forgot something." Now she thought about it. Had she forgotten something? Deciding she would remember later she tucked the blankets under her arm and pointed to the food section. "Dried foods are the best when traveling." She explained as she lead the way. "They keep for months on end so unless you run out you should be good! Oh! and if you buy things to make pokefood its a lot cheaper. Plus its fun!" Grinning she looked back at Adam. Arriving in the foods section she moved up and down the aisles till she found the dried fruits and meats section. "Tada!" Moon chuckled as she watched Rikka lead the way and followed after then sat as they found the food section. Haunter who had escaped his ball at some point floated off to get a basket. Bringing it back he carried it close to Rikka. If he knew her like he thought he did he knew she would need a basket. Night watched and nodded. It was good. They had actually gotten low on supplies so it figured Rikka was gonna load up plus buy some to put in Adams bag. Jumping down he took off to find the pokefood ingredients. Moon noticing him take off followed to help. [/scrolly]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Adam looked thoughtful for a moment when Moon claimed that she had been with Rikka since she hatched. “I’ve never seen a pokemon hatch before.” He claimed as he looked down at Kuu, “Have you?” Kuu shook his head. He hadn’t either. “But It’s nice you take care of her. It’s like Vince when he makes me wear a coat and mittens.” He claimed chuckling to himself a bit as he remembered the day in the north when he had removed his mittens, scarf and coat. Oh and his boots! Vince had been so worried about him getting sick that later that day he had received a lecture about getting sick. Luckily, Adam had never gotten sick that day or any day before that. When Rikka explained the food items they needed, Adam quickly nodded his head and began to follow her. He had never made Pokemon food before but perhaps he would see how when Rikka showed them. As Haunter came back with a basket, Adam began to draw his attention to the shelves, looking for food that fit Rikka’s description. He wasn’t very picky on what they ate as most of it he had never tried before anyway. As Night and Moon took off to get pokemon food ingredients, Kuu decided to follow in order to help them bring back anything they needed. Vince on the other hand continued to follow Adam, growing a bit closer as time passed. When they came across the morning section, Adam paused and looked at a box before pulling it off the shelf. Holding it up to Rikka so she could see he claimed, “I saw these on a T.V. box in a store window before.” The box read ‘Lucky Charms’. He had always wanted to try them and now was more or less asking Rikka if they could get them, though was actually a bit too shy to say the actual words. [/scrolly] [bg=beige]

"Its a wonderful sight. The moment the baby breaks through a shell and sees the world for the first time. Vunerable and cute. Its a very Magical moment." Rikka said as her eyes took on a dreamy look. Yes she loved the moment her pokemon had hatched. Showing her the beautiful baby inside. Smiling she listened to Adam and chuckled slightly. "Hes a Wonderful Pokemon." She liked Vince even if he didn't like her. Going through the dried fruits and meats she put some in the basket and read the label on others. Blinking she looked over at Adam to see what he had picked up. Listening she could practically hear the silent question. Just like a little kid, though the thought had her eyes softening. She absolutely loved kids. "Go a head and put it in the basket." Maybe she would get him some dried milk to go with it. They could use the snow to make some cold milk. Finding the dried milk she added a could of cans to the basket. Moon and Night found the ingrediants and were rolling them across the floor to Rikka. Well in Nights case he was sliding the box across the floor. It contained flavoring of all sorts. As Rikka picked them up the two pokemon raced back the way they had came to get some more. They had to stock up if they were going to head to the desert. Once there they would be few and far between any city. [/scrolly]
