The Know-How (Mod/Open)

[Lady Leaf]

[Odd keystone] ~ [Vulpix - F] ~ [Gliger - M] ~ [Natu - ?]

The tiny fox like pokemon allowed Alvaro to pet her for a little while, her head turning a bit as she enjoyed it. After a little while, her eyes still closed, her front paws stretched out in front of her and she let out a rather long yawn. It was after she finished stretching that she finally opened her oval eyes, and looked up at Alvaro. With a sudden rush of both shock and panic, she suddenly jumped into the air, hitting the shelf above her before she landed and pressed her body against the back wall. Her breath became rather heavy as she glared up at Alvaro though it didn’t look like she was angry with him. She just hadn’t been expecting to see a human. In all honesty, with her sleepy stat she hadn’t even known what she was expecting. The petting had just felt good and she really hadn’t thought further on it.

The odd keystone seemed to wiggle a bit a few moments after being set down. Though the movement had been rather hard to notice and made no sound. The Gliger let out a rather loud hiss towards Ain after she apologized. It seemed he did not care if she was sorry or not. He was in a bad mood and so he was going to take it out on… the keystone sitting behind Ain suddenly formed a rather shadowy looking hand that reached out to grab hold of some of Ain’s fur before quickly disappearing again. It caused the Gliger to let out a rather loud chuckle.

As the clip landed on the ground, two rather small feet suddenly hopped out of the shadows landing before it. With a tiny beak, the Natu picked up the clip and turned to run away with it. It seemed it liked the shininess.

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/alvaromid2.jpg] [scrolly:h(196),w(410),sy]Alvaro blinked a tad confused at the recoiling of the small fire pokemon, and for a few seconds, he just sat there momentarily stunned. "You ok?" he finally asked a tad worriedly towards the small fox. She looked like she had banged her head pretty hard... Sora continued to walk around slowly now feeling calm at least for the moment. However, it was then that she noticed the sight of the Old Keystone's movements. What in the world? [/scrolly]

[Snow Soul]

Ain lowered her ears as he hissed at her. She had said she was sorry.Suddenly she felt a tug on her fur and yipped. Spinning around she stared at the Keystone. What had just happened. Walking slowly toward the Keystone she circled it and wondered if she should put it back. Yeah she probably should. But now she was curious. If it hadn't done anything what happened? And who did it?

Ain blinked as two feet appeared before her clip. Gasping as the Natu grabbed it she hissed. That was hers!! Jumping forward she tried to tackle the Natu and take her clip back. He had no right to her shiny toy!

[Odd keystone] ~ [Vulpix - F] ~ [Gliger - M] ~ [Zorua - M]

The small Vulpix stared at Alvaro for a moment after he asked if she was ok. She then took a few steps closer to the man, sniffing the air to try and gain his sent. He didn’t seem mean and she felt almost a little silly for jumping so badly a moment before. “Vuuuul” She finally replied to him in a small voice. It seemed she was alright. The bump would heal.

The Keystone, now knowing that there were eyes watching it, staid completely still. It seemed what ever was trapped inside it had a very tricky personality but it didn’t want to get caught.

As the Natu was tackled, the tiny pokemon’s form suddenly began to shift and change. It’s green feathers turned to a black fur and it’s wings and feet formed paws. At long last, the Natu appeared to actually be a Zorua. It’s shape had been forced to switch back the moment Asuka had attacked him. Yet even after being tackled, the pokemon didn’t drop the shinny clip. It seemed he didn’t want to give it up.

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/alvaromid2.jpg] [scrolly:h(196),w(410),sy]The green haired man smiled a bit and nodded his head before raising his hand and gently stroking the Vulpix again. "You're a sweet thing," he mused gently. Indeed, the young pokemon was, as far as he could tell, rather sweet natured seeing as she hadn't attacked him or anything (like he'd need any more damage done to him, hur). Sora stared at the Keystone and slowly walked towards it. She was tempted to tap it with her foot but stopped when she caught sight of the two pokemon fight over--- hey that was Alvaro's! Walking over, she made to snatch up the clip as quickly as she could. [/scrolly]

[Snow Soul]

Ain kept watching the Keystone, but when it didn't move again she picked it up and took it over to Allis. Setting it next to the reading girl she walked off again and spotted Asuka and a wild Zorua fighting. Blinking she ran over and tried to nudged the two apart. Instead got scratched for her efforts.

Asuka hissed and latched onto the clip with her own teeth. <Mine! Go find your own!> When she spotted the Absol she rolled probably taking the Zorua with as she kept hold of the clip in an attempt to keep it away from the Absol. She didn't wanna give it up. It was shiny!!

[Lady Leaf]

[Odd keystone] ~ [Vulpix - F] ~ [Chingling - M] ~ [Zorua - M]

Something about the tone in Alvaro’s voice and being called ‘sweet’ made the young Vulpix very happy. So much so that she pushed herself into one of his pets before sitting back onto her hind legs. Her front paws came forward taking his hand into arms before she began to lick his fingers affectionately. She liked this guy. He was gentile.

When the Keystone was picked up and dropped again it gave a small wiggle and sound somewhat like a laugh before going completely still. Clinging off one of the shelves and watching the fight from a distance, could be seen a small Chingling.

The Zorua growled, playing the game of tug-a-war with the cat as they fought over the clip. What the creature hadn’t been expecting was the sudden roll Asuka put them into and when they finally came to a halt, the Zorua let go of the clip. Flipping up into a bright ball, the pokemon suddenly changed formed. It’s body had grown much larger as it copied the appearance of Sora before lowering its upper body and growling at the Purrloin. It had completely ignored Ain despite the attempts to keep them from fighting.

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/alvaromid2.jpg] [scrolly:h(196),w(410),sy]Alvaro smiled at the gesture before using his free hand to continue to pet the small fire type. Indeed, her affections were getting to him at the moment, and he liked it quite a lot. Even if she just tuned into a pet like the Eevee he had... he ... wanted to keep her. Sora face/pawed as the other pokemon kept the clip away from her. <It's not yours!> she growled looking at Asuka. She was tempted to pounce again but would wait for a moment and see what happened. [/scrolly]

[Snow Soul]

Allis blinked as she heard something giggle. Looking over she saw the keystone. She had seen Ain drop something by her. Tilting her head she put her book down and picked it up. "Alrighty Which pokemon is in there?" Honestly she wasn't sure there was a pokemon sealed in it but it was worth a try. She wanted to know was was giggling. If she had to she would start reading the medical books to it. That could honestly get boring to some.

Asuka hissed and lashed out with her claws before turning and fleeing toward Allis. Jumping into the girls lap she glared over the edge of her leg while Allis blinked and looked away from the keystone to the Purrloin in her lap. Looking up she waited to see if any other pokemon followed her. She had apparently done something if she was hiding in her lap.

[Odd keystone] ~ [Vulpix - F] ~ [Chingling - M] ~ [Zorua - M]

The Vulpix continued to lick Alvaro’s hand, her eyes closing as he also continued to pet her. She could probably sit there all day licking his hand clean as long as she was getting petted.

“Pirrrr, I’m a, I’m a, Pirrr. The keystone replied to Allis which made it hard to tell exactly what it was trying to say. Truth was, the only English words it knew was I’m a and it wasn’t actually trying to say, ‘I’m a spiritomb. No, it was trying to confuse Allis. Why? Because it could.

<It’s not yours!> the Zorua copied Sora, still in the same form. When Asuka ran away, the now ninetales looking pokemon, chased after her. It was more of a game for the Zorua rather than him wanting the clip.

After a moment, he looked back at the small Vulpix and slowly moved his hand around to scratch her ears. "Heh, you are very affectionate,," the green haired man grinned as he continued to pet. Sora sighed outwards seeing that the clip had been dropped in the process of the cat pokemon running away. Picking it up, the Absol then started over back towards Alvaro. Shesh, all that work for one hair piece of a human's.... well... her human's so... heh... [/scrolly]

[Snow Soul]

Allis didn't seemed to be fooled. "Alright you asked for it." With that she set the keystone next to her and started reading about the helpfulness of certain herbs. Suddenly she felt Asuka jump in her lap so she looked around only to see Ain and another Ninetails running after her kitty Pokemon. "Hello and who are you?"

Asuka blinked as she now realized she had dropped the clip. Hissing at her own stupidity she glared at the Nintales giving Chase. Ain slid to a halt before running into Allis and sat down immediately. Right in the way of the other Ninetales.

[Lady Leaf]

[Odd keystone] ~ [Vulpix - F] ~ [Zorua - M]

The Vuplix stopped liking Alvaro, tilting her head to the side as her tongue stuck out a bit. She didn’t say anything to Alvaro’s words but simply cooed to the scratches behind her ear. It was true, she was a very affectionate pokemon. She found it was the best way to get attention such as petting or food or love from other pokemon. She loved attention! She also loved being loved. However she wasn’t one to voice this.

The pokemon inside the Keystone let out a rather long groan when Allis began to read about the helpfulness of herbs. He didn’t need to know about such things! He was a ghost! “Ugggggghhh~!” It let out a rather painful cry before long purple spirits seeped out of the keystone, forming the shape of a pokemon. “I’m a, gerrrrrr” It claimed, pretty much showing off his distaste towards the book Allis was reading.

The Zorua/Ninetales was having fun racing after the cat until Ain, yet another Ninetales, stopped in front of him. It caused him to come to a skidding halt, almost running right into Ain but stopping just before he could. “Heh” the pokemon replied with a wild grin.

[Jay]

"Oh hey my clip, thanks," he smiled at the Absol who nearly face/palmed at her trainer for a moment. Stopping his petting to return the clip to his hair, Alvaro smiled a little. "There now," he smiled ligghtly before looking back at the two pokemon. "What do you think?" he asked. Sora just raised an eyebrow but said nothing just yet. [/scrolly]

[Snow Soul]

Allis Chuckled when he groaned from the stone. Stopping she watched him seep out of the stone. "I told you to tell me but we had to do this the hard way." Closing her book she smiled at him then turned her attention to Ain and rubbed her head while Asuka hissed at the second Ninetales. Flicking her ear Allis looked to the other Ninetales. "Hello I'm Allis."

Ain hopped up and looked to the other Pokemon. Tilting her head she blinked. Wasn't the pokemon a Zorua before? Walking in circles around him she sat next to Allis. Maybe he was a Ninja too! Then he would be perfect to add to their team. Asuka glared at the Zorua/Nintales and hissed even when Allis flicked her ear again. Her tail lashed from side to side as she stayed safe in Allis's lap.

[Lady Leaf]

[Odd keystone] ~ [Vulpix - F] ~ [Zorua - M]

The Vulpix stopped, setting her paws on back onto the floor as the Absol drew close. She stayed claim and watched as it handed a clip over to Alvaro before the green haired man placed it into his ear. When he asked ‘how it looked’ she titled her head for a moment as if trying to judge it before smiling and nodding, “Vuuulpix” She explained, which meant it looked good.

“Im a tom, tomb.” It sounded as if the Spiritomb was complaining about something to Allis but before he continued to complain some more his attention was brought to the other pokemon. The cat like pokemon sounded upset about something.

The Zorua simply resolved in giggling when Asuka hissed and got her ear flicked. When Allis introduced herself the Zorua answered with a small “Nine” and then laughed again as the cat like pokemon was flicked once more. He could change back into her normal form but he was kind of enjoying this form.

Shaking his head, he looked back at the Vulpix. "Thank ya," he answered back with an easy smile on his face before reaching to pet the fire type again. "You're rather young but rather pretty, you know," he chuckled to himself. Sora sighed and found herself slowly starting to roam again going back towards Allis. [/scrolly]

[Snow Soul]

Allis had nodded her head to his complaining though she ended up getting distracted with the other two. Asuka refused to apparently quit hissing at the new ninetales. Allis sighed and reached out a hand to pet the new ninetales though he seemed to be enjoying himself at Asuka's expense.

Ain was tempted to push the other ninetales over cause she knew he wasn't really a ninetales but a master as illusions. A zorua. Blowing out a breath she laid down behind Allis so to stay out of harms way if Asuka got too agitated.

Aisla hearing the hissing of Asuka blinked. What was the little cat up to this time. Leaving the two Sableye's in the chair she handed them the book and went to investigate. Ready to chastise the cat she peeked into the aisle to find Allis surrounded by pokemon. Now how was it she always managed that? Sweat dropping she backed away and went to finish reading the book to the Sableyes.

[Lady Leaf]

[Baltoy - M] ~ [Claydol - M] ~ [Odd keystone] ~ [Vulpix - F] ~ [Zorua - M]

The Vulpix blinked at Alvaro’s comment about being rather young but took the other half as a complement and continued to enjoy the petting. Though not without comment. “Vul vuuuu vulpix” had been her words which meant she didn’t think she was young. She had been alive for as long as she could remember which was a life time for her. Of course her lifeline was barely even two months and she didn’t have much of a grasp on the age of others yet.

Out of sight of Alvaro, though not too far away, a Baltoy could be spotted spinning around on his head. Beside him was another, larger pokemon who was shaking his head unimpressed. If one eavesdropped onto their conversation they would find out that the Claydol was criticizing the Baltoy claiming that his spin wasn’t fast enough yet.

At the touch of Allis’s hand on the fake Ninetail’s fur, the pokemon rolled up into a ball of light before popping back into it’s true form. It let out a small giggle after that before saying, “Zurua!” Taking a couple steps back it allowed it’s form to shift and change once more, however this time it hadn’t taken on the appearance of another pokemon. No, this time he took the form of Allis before turning to run off in the direction the Absol had gone with the hairclip.

However, this didn't seem to faze him too much, and instead, he chuckled a bit and simply continued to pet before turning his head to one side. "You beg to differ?" he asked. Sora had continued walking around until she noticed the twins only to stop when she watched the Zorua take the form of one of the girls and then run off. Hu? Turning her head to one side, she sighed out a 'sol'. It was only in another moment that Alvaro heard footsteps behind him. Looking back, he raised his eyebrow. "Oh hey," he said looking at the Zorua but still only seeing one of the twins. [/scrolly]
