Checkmate! [longkitty]

[karma]

The sun beat down on the city and the cool winter wind rushed through the streets. If it weren't for that wind Pandora would have left awhile ago. She was sitting in a hard wooden chair in front of a beautiful stone chess table. The carvings were amazing and she wondered how long it took the person who made this. Pan had to have her mind focus though as this was no time to drift off into lala land. She was in the middle of her tenth match today and hadn't lost once, for this was her game. It involved strategy and smarts. It involved clever thinking and quick whit's. As a young girl when she was aloud to take a break on the farms he would play chess with her mother and father. They told her she was very good at it and wondered if she was using her abilities or not.

"Papa I never cheat, I'm to clever for that," She would always tell him with the wink of a eye.

Pandora shook her head as she tried to focus again; her opponent moved his knight two spaces forward and once left. Bad move. Pandora gave no expression (she had a good poker face) and easily moved her queen hidden in her pawns right in view of his king.

"Checkmate,"

The boy gave a sour puss of a face before getting up and leaving feeling it was a unfair match. Demitri her croagunk walked over to her and smiled with excitement, You won again! He thought clapping for his master. Pandora let out a small smile before turning to find another victim to play against. She would show no mercy to anyone.

Hanzoku, Shadow and Shift had been rather boredly watching the match. What a drag. They could be training or catching Pokemon...Or SOMEthing productive....But that would mean risking colder weather. Something Hanzoku wasn't too fond of. He was stuck watching this match that ended with some girl winning. He clapped his hands almost sarcastically, sighing.

The only one interested was the Zorua, Shift, who was currently disguised as a Dunsparce, struggling to fly around Pandora's side. Oh, how he loved his Illusion ability so much! Shadow was too busy practicing random ninja-like techniques.

"Do you mind?" Pandora spoke harshly to the pokemon who hovered around her side. Her eye's narrowed down at the boy who was close by with another pokemon. This one must be his she thought still glaring. Something she hated was a trainer who couldn't handle their pokemon. Yes pokemon could walk freely, but at least hers didn't go hovering around people's business! "Unless you are here for a match then I find your hovering quiet annoying," Pandora was all up for going against a pokemon she felt confident in her skills.

She got up though and walked over to the boy. At a far range he looked like another dim witted male who didn't understand the meaning of personal space, but at closer range he was a dim witted handsome male who didn't understand the meaning of personal space. Pandora blinked at the sight of the boy, but then went right back to what she was doing. "You should really watch your pokemon It's hard to focus when you have someone breathing down your neck," Her hands placed firmly on her hips.

Hanzoku

Senshi

Family. Self. Rogue

The false Dunsparce sadly hovered over to Hanzoku as soon as the woman started complaining. Was it Hanzoku, or were all redheads just bad tempered? This one in particular seemed to be in a tizzy about some silly game where you move a bunch of random figurines. It was fairly boring, really. Why did she even have any interest?

She then made her way to him. He immediately sensed some sort of hostility. Aside from that, he detected a bit of cuteness...But it was whatever. It was too chillyto care about looks. He raised an eyebrow when she started to speak. "Excuse me, but Shift, here, is my brother, and he's free to do what he likes." he explained. "It shouldn't be too hard to move a bunch of black and white sticks around, either." he snorted.
