[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/miguelmid.jpg] [scrolly:h(166),w(410),sy] Miguel smiled and nodded at the Ralts before gently pressing the ball to the Ralts and watching as the small psychic disappeared inside. Standing up, he turned to Lance and eyed the place where the Chikorita was walking away with the Lopunny. Well...that was rather odd, before Lance didn't hesitate to attack, surely he wasn't afraid of the pokemon?! Smiling at this thought, Miguel watched the two Pokemon walk further away,"Surely you aren't afraid of a little Chikorita...or does its appearance intimidate you in some way that you hesitate to approach?"Miguel asked in a mildly amused voice, though he did still appear quite serious. Grace relaxed when the Togepi calmed and held her in one arm while moving to climb down the tree,<"Now you hang on tight now, we'll be down soon."> Grace said in a kind, gentle voice before beginning her descent down the tree.

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Lance straightened himself, his gaze falling onto Miguel as the man teased him. For a short moment his eyes widened before narrowing angrily at Miguel. After all, it wouldn’t be believable if his personality changed, now would it? Of course not. Lance knew this and it was one reason why he was good at getting what he wanted. Even if it was bit by bit and subtle. “I’m - I’m not afraid!” Lance claimed, sounding rather defencive, “II just don’t know how t- … It’s none of your business!” For a moment he almost sounded as if he was actually going to admit something to Miguel but changed his mind part way through he changed his mind and snapped at the knight. With that, he turned to walk away angrily. He didn’t get very far until he noticed the Sawsbuck. It had flowers, and it was a grass type. Lance would have loved to have one on his team yet at the same time… Felis did love flowers. It was perfect. He was just about to race over to it, moving around a bush when he looked down. He had nearly stepped right on top of a Butterfree. “What in the…” Was it, hurt? Yet it was still trying to move about? That was perfect. The knight over there… but then the Sawsbuck… Sighing, Lance tossed a pokeball up into the air, releasing his Scizor. With a quick motion of his hands he commanded, “Get me that Sawsbuck” before looking down at the Butterfree. The Scizor nodded and headed over to the large deer but he did not attack. Unlike Vipin he only acted tough. In truth he just couldn’t attack something unless Lance was watching. Right now Lance seemed busy with the other bug. <Hello> The Scizor spoke up. Lance on the other hand leaned down to look at the bug, his expression blank. “I know someone who can help you.” He wasn’t very good at asking if he could touch the pokemon, so he held out his arms, which was probably as nice as he could get. If the bug let him, he would take it back to the sissy knight to look over. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

The Ralts disappeared into the pokeball, and the ball itself rang capture rather quietly.


Name:
Species: Ralts
Gender: Male
Ability: Synchronize
Personality: Like many Ralts and young pokemon in general, this Ralts is timid and quiet overall. His list of fears ranges from being alone for too long to the dark, but with a big of encouragement, he may grow out of this. Though he is a psychic type, he rarely shares his thoughts with anyone outside of Miguel whom he has grown to trust at least with this much. Almost always, he psychically speaks by making contact with someone and translating his psychic energy to their mind that way rather than using the open air due to his lack of control the other way. He dreams of one day growing strong enough to defend those that he cares for and is willing to work at it as long as Miguel keeps him.


The Sawsbuck seemed to look upwards at being addressed. <Hello to you as well> he stated with a calm and very controlled voice as if he had practiced such a thing previously. Turning his head to one side, the grass and normal type noticed the Scizor's color was not that of red like it should have been. Ah, well that was rather interesting....

The Butterfree looked a tad weakly at Lance but then slowly moved into the man's arms rather trustingly for a pokemon.

The Togepi breathed outwards quietly and seemed to calm down fully as they moved down the tree. Both the Audino and the Lopunny were watching rather carefully making sure that Grace and the Togepi got down ok before finally relaxing. <Thank goodness you're safe!> the Lopunny cried after both were on the ground. The Audino was quiet but half smiled to himself.

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/miguelmid.jpg] [scrolly:h(166),w(410),sy] Miguel smiled smugly when Lance snapped back at him but refused to retaliate and simply turned as if to walk away,"Very well, if you aren't afraid then you are perfectly capable of going up to the Chikorita yourself."he said in a mildly teasing voice and was about to walk away when he heard Lance again and looked over to see the Butterfree climb into Lance's arms. Frowning considerably at what appeared to be a wounded Pokemon, Miguel stopped and took a step towards Lance, studying the Butterfree. Indeed it did appear that the Butterfree was in poor shape but Miguel wouldn't know exactly what happened until he had studied the bug Pokemon further but seeing as the Butterfree was in Lance's arms he wouldn't interfere unless the man asked him to. Grace sighed in relief when she was safely down on the ground and sat down, still holding the Togepi in her arms when the Lopunny spoke up. Looking up at the Lopunny, Grace smiled and nodded, shaking ever so slightly as the adrenaline rush that had made her momentarily forget her fear of heights subside. [/scrolly]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Lance for the most part had ignored Miguel’s comment to just talk to the Chikorita himself, though he had heard it. Luckily his attention that would have caused him to snap again Miguel’s had been distracted when he spotted the two pokemon. Once the Butterfree was in his arms, Lance realized just how awkward it was to actually hold a pokemon. He had never held one before now. For a moment he wasn’t even sure if he was holding the bug properly and in the end he had eventually propped the bug up against his chest before standing up. He hadn’t been expecting Miguel to still be close by when he turned around which was clear by the expression of shock that covered his face when he spotted Miguel. After making his way over to Miguel, the Butterfree still safe in his arms, he gave a rather stern look. “Can you help it or not?” He snapped before remembering that he was asking for a favor and adding, “Please.” Not that he believed this push over of a knight would say no anyway. <This place,> The Scizor looked around for a moment before letting his eyes fall back onto the Sawsbuck, <It is very beautiful. Is this your home?> It wasn’t very often that he got a chance to talk to other pokemon but he was at least trying. He didn’t actually know much about Era either. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

[Jay]

The poor little Buterfree looked rather droopy to say the least of it with his wings and form looking rather beat up. Had it gotten into a battle or something? Who knew.

The Sawsbuck seemed to nod his head as he looked around. <Yes, it's home to me... Can you feel the hum in the air? I love the almost magical feeling of everything here.> he nodded stating his words in a relaxed voice.

The small Togepi continued to cling to Grace even with the ground now directly under their feet. The Lopunny seemed to breathe outwards quietly to herself and nodded her head again glad to see that the Togepi was alright. The other Audino seemed to smile to himself and then slowly moved off through the trees.

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/miguelmid.jpg] [scrolly:h(166),w(410),sy] Miguel looked rather amused when Lance snapped at him when asking if he could help the Butterfree, choosing not to say anything about the outburst for now. "Indeed, I am able to help him Lance. Now if you'll kindly set him down on the ground next to the bushes I will see what I can do."Miguel said in a kind voice as he pulled out some medical supplies out of his bag. Grace hugged the Togepi back and hummed a gentle melody in an attempt to calm the young Pokemon down. [/scrolly]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “Have you ever thought of seeing the rest of the land. The other forests and jungles?” The Scizor asked knowing it was why Lance had sent him over there in the first place, “I’ve seen others. Some from far, far away. Or so my trainer says. He crossed a huge ship to get here.” Lance listened to the man, his body stiff and his eyes unblinking before he finally let out a small, “Ok” With that he did exactly what Miguel had said. He turned, bent down onto one knee and carefully set the Butterfree back down. Once it safely on the ground, Lance stood back up and took a few steps back. “It’s all yours” Well, it was working. The knight was falling into place and that was all that counted. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

[Jay]

The small bug squeaked a little at being set down again but rested calmly where he had been placed. It seemed he no longer even had the energy to move.

The Sawsbuck seemed to hesitate a moment. <It does sound intriguing....> he admitted nodding his head after a few seconds. Indeed, if there was other forested areas out there... well.. it would be interesting, really....

The Togepi was slowly soothed and seemed to relax into a calm almost half sleep. The Lopunny smiled gently at Grace. <Thank you> she murmured gently.

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/miguelmid.jpg] [scrolly:h(166),w(410),sy] Miguel nodded when Lance placed the Butterfree gently on the ground and knelt beside the injured Pokemon, pulling out a Super Potion and applying it to the injuries before carefully wrapping the Butterfree's injured areas with some of the bandages he'd brought with him. "Now...this might sting a little but you'll feel much better afterwards,"Miguel said in a gentle voice as he applied more of the Super Potion to the Butterfree's injuries,"How did you get hurt so badly little one?"he asked as he continued to treat the Butterfree's injuries with a gentle hand, trying not to move the Butterfree anymore than was necessary. Grace nodded from where she was sitting but continued to hum the melody, not wanting to disturb the Togepi. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] <You should consider traveling.> The Scizor suggested with a nod, <I have yet to set eyes on a forest this… beautiful before, but I know from the other forests I have seen they each have their own sort of mystery and magic to them. I believe ones life would be wasted without seeing them.> His trainer could be harsh and expected a lot out of his pokemon but the Scizor did still get to see everywhere the man traveled. It was interesting to see the different places. Lanced watched silently as the Miguel worked away on fixing up the Butterfree. In all honesty, Lance could care less if the Butterfree turned out alright or not. What he did care about was appearing to care if the Butterfree was alright or not and he certainly was doing that well. His brows were slightly curved in worry as he watched and waited to see what the verdict would be. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

[Jay]

The Buterfree seemed to look towards Miguel and nodded trying to keep still afterwords as the man applied the potion. Indeed, it felt a bit better after the initial sting had hit. Slowly sitting up, the Buterfree breathed in as calmly as he could before starting to answer. <A bunch of Stantler had been moving through and I couldn't get out of the way in time.....> the bug type stated trying to convey his meaning to the human despite the translation barrier of suck.

The Lopunny finally moved quietly and sat down next to Grace watching as the Togepi was slowly lulled into a full sleep now. It seemed that the young pokemon had used up quite a lot of energy in the run around so to speak and was now recharging through sleeping.

The Sawsbuck seemed to consider this deeper now. Indeed... it sounded very interesting and very appealing when it came down to it. After a moment, his eyes seemed to trail around the area for a few seconds before finally setting back to the Scizor. <Indeed..... it... would be very nice to be able to travel in a group> he stated nodding his large head.

Of course having spent some time around Pokemon, Miguel was at least able to get the general idea of what the Butterfree was saying. "I see, at least you weren't severely injured. It appears as if your wings have remained largely intact, though I don't suggest flying for some time yet. Even then it'll take a while for you to get your strength back, if you'd like you could come with me and I could look after you, make sure that you'll be all right. That way you won't have to worry about getting injured anymore,"Miguel said in a kind, gentle voice as he finished attending to the injuries before glancing at Lance,"That is, if that's all right with you Sir Lance..." Grace smiled at the Lopunny when the Togepi drifted off to sleep,<"She sure is sweet...was it your idea to bring her to the tree?">she asked quietly so as not to wake the sleeping Togepi.[/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Lance folded his arms across his chest and looked away, lifting his body up a bit to make himself look taller. “What would I care?” he replied stubbornly before his dark blue eyes slowly drifted back to the butterfree. With a small nod he pretty much told the bug type that it was a good idea to go with Miguel. It was sickening how… caring… he was being at the moment, but it was necessary. Caring and cold hearted at the same time. A shell that claimed their was good intentions underneath. Course, when people claimed their was a third, even deeper level… well, Lance defiantly had that too. “Well, if you are interested you could travel with myself, my trainer and a few others with us.” The Scizor suggested, turning his body slightly to point in the direction of his master. In all honesty, Lance wasn’t the nicest of trainers and it was rare they actually got to come out of their pokeballs to see the new places or to play but the Sawsbuck wouldn’t need to know that. Scizor knew if he could convince the pokemon to come with them it would make Lance happy and when he was happy he was pleased. When he was pleased he was nicer. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

[Jay]

The Buterfree's eyes looked sideways at Lance and then towards Miguel. After a few seconds, he nodded his head a bit and stated a quiet 'free'. Yes... he'd like to come and stay out of harm's way for now....

The Sawsbuck seemed to look off towards the two men and nodded his head slowly. Ah.... he might then.... <I see....> he answered back looking back at the Scizor now. <Will he accept me coming, though?> he asked after a moment of hesitation.

The Lopunny nodded her head quietly at Grace's question before looking up into the tree. <I used to come here a lot as a Buneary> she answered back.

[Maid Melody]

[atrb=background,http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo48/elronia/miguelposttable.png,bTable][atrb=style,border:0 tan none,b,Table][atrb=width, 421][atrb=height, 300][scrolly:h(240),w(218),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-right:105px;margin-left:15px;margin-top:20px;)]Miguel largely ignored Lance when he claimed he didn't care who the Butterfree went with and smiled kindly at the Butterfree before pulling out a pokeball and holding it in front of the Butterfree, well within his reach. Grace nodded and looked thoughtful when the Lopunny said that she had come to the tree as a Buneary,<"What was it like then ... ? Was it as big as it was now?"> she asked in a curious voice, glancing back at the huge tree behind her before looking back at the Lopunny.[/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] The Scizor nodded at the Sawsbucks question. “I guarantee he will.” He replied confidently, “My trainer believes grass types are some of natures most prized pokemon. He would be proud to have you come along.” He wasn’t so sure about Lance being proud about it but the Scizor did know that Lance loved grass types. He would most likely cherish the pokemon even over himself. Lance watched as Miguel held the pokeball out for the butterfree and just about rolled his eyes. Why couldn’t the man just toss the pokeball like they were meant to be. It would save so much time especially if the pokemon didn’t know how to work the poke ball. It was foolish. Why was Lance constantly surrounded by morons? [/scrolly] [bg=black]

[Jay]

The Butterfree nodded and pressed the ball before disappearing inside. The ball rang in capture easily.
Name:
Species: Butterfree
Gender: Male
Ability: Compoundeyes
Personality: A rather peaceful being even under a great deal of stress, this Butterfree is very gentle and loving. His affections tend to spawn his need to make others happy even at the cost of his own happiness. He likes to learn but seems to have a great deal of problems doing so. He wishes to one day be able to speak fluent human languages but isn't sure where to actually start/

The Sawsbuck seemed to nod his head slowly and then carefully made a few steps towards the men before stopping and then starting once more. Doubt wasn't something that normally plagued him, but this was a big decision, after all.

The Lopunny seemed to chuckle a bit to herself and looked form Grace to the tree. <Not as big but still pretty big> she answered back.

[Maid Melody]

Putting his potions and bandages back in his bag, Miguel rose to his feet and turned to Lance, "I thank you for bringing the Butterfree to my attention, now if you'll excuse me, I must find my Audino ... ," he said in a calm voice before heading the direction that he had seen Grace go earlier. Grace smiled and nodded before looking down at the still sleeping Togepi, <"How did you meet the Togepi? Have you known each other for very long?">[/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Lance gave Miguel a sideways glance as the man thanked him and claimed he needed to find his pokemon. “Yah sure,” Was all Lance offered in return, watching Miguel leave for a moment before turning to go and find his pokemon. He hadn’t had to look very hard as his eyes fell on the Sawsbuck and Scizor. Scizor had been walking closely beside the large deer pokemon when they stopped for one reason or another. Either way, it looked as if Scizor was getting his job done. Perhaps talking to pokemon could work. At times. Battling still seemed quicker and easier. “I see you have a made a new friend, Scizor.” Lance claimed, a grin on his face as he made his way towards the two pokemon. “Does this Sawsbuck wish to come with us?” The black bug type nodded his head at his masters words before looking over at the deer. Scizor at least… believed the Sawsbuck wanted to come with them… [/scrolly] [bg=black]
