A Good Day (Wess/Mod/Open)

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] The sun was still strong despite how late in the evening it was. Dinner had long past but with spring across the lands the sun began to lower later and later at night. In the desert it was lucky if it was down before nine or ten at night. Luckily for Kero, he had grown up in the desert and it took a lot more heat then the evening sun in the desert to bother him. If anything, the noble was seeing this as a perfect day. He had managed to get all of his posters up, his speech completed and now he had lots of time to spare. Later tonight or sometime tomorrow he would be meeting up with Alvaro again and they would be starting their travels together. Just the thought of it made him happier then he could ever remember being in his entire life. Finally he was starting to feel fulfilled. He loved the feeling so much. Now he just needed to find where his Charizard had run off to. He had wanted to sun bath while Kero went off to buy some food. Issue was, Kero had forgotten to give Charizard a time to return. The large fire type pokemon had probably fallen asleep somewhere just out of the city and well… that was a long walk away. He could pick up some stuff for the beginning of the trip tomorrow but if he did that he would probably end up making Alfred (his butler) upset. The man liked packing for him and seemed to get offended if someone else did his job. Especially Kero. He could train Blue, his Swablu. He had a feeling the tiny bird was getting close to evolving and that also excited him. He needed to find a better spot to practice though. The streets were far from a good place to do that. Well, he could at least let Swablu get some exercise. Kero slowly reached down to his belt, brushing his hand over his sword and reaching for the Pokeballs placed on his belt beside it. After plucking one off, he tossed it up into the air and with a flash of light a small, blue bird was released. She let out a rather happy chirp and made her way over to Kero’s shoulder. “Lets go find a park or something.” Kero suggested to the tiny bird as he began to walk down the street, keeping his eyes open for any park like spots.

Kit stood in the middle of a grass park, her hands in her pockets, looking around. Ninetales sat beside her, casting looks around. With a sigh, Kit turned to look at her brother.

"Lets play!" She whined, "I'm bored! B. O....er...R...D!"

The girl grinned proudly for a second at her genius spelling, then shot forward a couple steps, spinning on the ball of her foot and pulling out an empty Pokeball. "Wanna play catch!?" She asked, tossing the ball at Wess as she steadied herself.

[wess]

Wess looked a little bit bored as the duo sat talking in the park. He had let out his Barboach, which he seemed to always be talking to now a days. It was wrapped calmly around his neck, supporting him with hydration to keep him from dehydrating. Petting the mucus-like eel Pokemon, he turned to look at Kit's suggestion, letting the rest of his Pokemon out.

Putting Ben with Terry, the Tropius, he popped his knuckles, as the little boy wearing white got ready to catch the Pokeball. "Alright, let's go!"

As the ball came towards towards him, he caught it in his little hand, before pitching it back at his twin, stumbling in the process. He didn't quite faceplant, but he did come awfully close, and he would have, if it wasn't for Blair's sudden presence beside him.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Blue suddenly let out a rather loud, excited chirp as they came up to a opening. It wasn’t much of a park. A few swings, monkey bars, and benches. There was no grass but that was to be expected. If there was grass somewhere in the desert it was often in one of the nobles homes. Like his own. Though even he didn’t have much grass. It took a lot of water to take care of and water in the desert was sometimes scarce even for the rich. Now Kero, being the sort of man he was, had been hoping to have the park alone. Much to his demise, there were kids in the park. Go figure… It wasn’t a big surprise to see the children playing in the park but what was a surprise was the number of pokemon with them. Most of the pokemon were defiantly not from around the western wastelands which meant they had to belong to the two children. With the two children and all the pokemon the park its self looked much smaller than it probably was. Kero wasn’t sure if he was going to get any practicing in but at least he had found somewhere to rest. With a heavy sigh, Kero made his way towards the kids before finding one of the benches and plopping himself down. Blue, who now wasn’t sure what to do, lifted herself off of Kero’s shoulder and flew over to the monkey bars. She was interested in what the kids and their pokemon were doing but she was far too shy to say hello. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

[orcakit]

Kit took a few quick steps back and jumped slightly, her right hand above her head to catch the Pokeball. It smacked into her hand, leaving a stinging-tickling sensation as she wrapped her fingers around it. Her feet made contact with the ground again and Kit smirked, straightening herself.

That was when she saw the other person. A man she didn't know. She tossed the ball back at Wess, not paying much attention to the throw. Her eyes followed the man as he moved towards a bench and sat down.

Eon, nudged Ookami and the two of them, stood up from where they had been sitting and watching the game of catch, and wandered over towards Blue. Ookami bounded forward, skidding to a stop JUST in front of the blue Pokemon. He let out an excited bark that was obviously a greeting. Eon on the other hand, trotted over at a steady pace, his tail lifted in greeting to Blue.

[wess]

Wess let out a whine as he jumped to catch the ball, but it was headed towards the ground a bit too fast. So, he kicked it, like most people would. The ball went soaring through the air, and would either end up crashing into the man who had the Swablu, or Kit would have to really chase it down to catch it.

Blair on the other hand, looked at the Swablu with little attention, while Tropius simply fanned himself, while Barboach peered over curiously. He kept himself from moving from the spot however, simply because his urge to stay cool was greater. Spouting a little water from his mouth, the fish stopped drying up, while Terry and Blair simply enjoyed the cold water sprinkling them as well.

[orcakit]

Kit looked away from the new man, focusing her attention back on her bad throw. To her surprise, Wess kicked the Pokeball. It veered off course, heading towards the man. "Eh!?" The girl dashed after the ball, Kitsune by her side. The girl silently cursed herself for her lack of attention. She didn't think there was ANY way she'd reach it on time...and she didn't really want to anger a man she'd never met before.

(fail post is fail)

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Kero wasn't paying any attention to the kids at all. Instead he had managed to set his bag beside him and pulled out a rather large book. It had been one of the four Nathan had given and he planned on reading all of the large books he was given a few times to make sure he fully understood them. Kero didn’t even look up when Blue gave out a rather large distressed chirp. He knew exactly what that chirp meant and wasn’t about to go save her because of it. So why had she chirped so frightened like? The two other pokemon had… had… gotten close to her!! She had been strictly on a watch them play only bases. The bark to her was clearly a sign of a vicious bird eating Growlithe and that tail on the Eevee! Clearly it was a weapon of some sort, like millions of sharp, evil razorblades!! Yet even as she let out his distressed chirp, Kero didn’t move from his spot. It just wasn’t fair. Couldn’t he see that she was in grave danger? Most likely he would tell her what he always told her… ‘You have to be willing to make friends to have friends.’ But she didn’t want to be willing! It was scary… Letting out another chirp that had meant nothing more then <Ahhh!> She flew up on top of the monkey bars and looked down at the two pokemon who had approached her. It was during that same time that the same Swablu flew up to the top of the monkey bars that the pokeball went flying towards Kero. It, of course, managed to smack him right on the side of the forehead, bounced off, landed on the ground and rolled back over to Kit and Wess. Kero had just about dropped his book when he got hit in the head. One of his hands raised to his head and the only thing that came out of his mouth at first was an “Owwie…” After giving his head a good rub, his pale brown eyes glared over at Kit and Wess having no doubt that they were the brats who had thrown the ball at him. “You annoying little…!” He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, cutting off what he was about to say. He couldn’t let two kids ruin his perfect day. So, calming himself a little he opened his eyes again and glared at them. “Shouldn’t you two be in school or bed or something?” School was defiantly long over for the day but it was starting to get late out… perhaps still a bit too early for bed but…. Eh. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

[wess]

Wess covered his mouth as soon as the ball hit the man, before seeming to burst into tears out of shock. The strange little child felt the tears flow, and while know one knew where they come from, he certainly did. Wess was a bit gentle natured towards humans when he could be to say the least. He knew Pokemon were strong enough to cope, but humans were a totally different story.

"S-School's over... And I followed Kit here so we could play. Napping sounds sort of nice, but I w-want Kit to have fun," Sniffing a bit, the Beartic appeared the little boy's side. Lifting him up like a mother would, he buried his face deep in her fur and let sobs flow. Blair had a mild expression on her face, something between anger and worry.

[orcakit]

Ookami took half a step back, snapping his mouth closed and cocking his head to the side. He was utterly confused by Blue's reaction to his greeting. After a moment's thought, he jumped forward again, tongue hanging out of his mouth as he let out another bark, <Haiya! I'm Ookami!> He greeted.

Eon, the calmer one, sat down, lowering his tail and wrapping it around his paws. He blinked once then rolled over on his back, his whole body moving as he attempted to wag his tail. He obviously wanted to show Blue that he was harmless.

Kit frowned and leaned over, picking up her Pokeball. She held it up to the sky for a second, wiped it off with the hem of her shirt, and put it back away before crossing her arms over her chest. "Like brother said! Schools out," She huffed, "And I ain't sleepy." She paused, glaring at the man, "Sides, it's not OUR fault you wandered over." She pointed out, "We were here first."

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Being as stubborn as Blue was (most likely learned it for Kero too) the tiny bird pokemon stuck her beak up into the air and fluffed her feathers snobbishly as the other two pokemon tried to say hello to her. If Kero hadn’t been distracted with the two kids in front of him, he probably would have scolded Blue and made her say hello back. But as it was Kero was now dealing with a crying boy and a girl possibly as stubborn as Blue. He had let out a half defeated sigh as Wess began to cry. For a slight moment he was feeling a little ashamed for yelling at them. He was about to claim that it didn’t matter before sitting down to read again however the girl spoke up. He didn’t care how old they were. That girl needed to be told it up straight. Kero wasn’t going to be pushed around by anyone, especially not some little girl! How old was she anyway? Like five or 6? “If you had of knocked me out do you think the knights would have cared if you were here first or not?” Kero snapped at Kit, crossing his arms and looking down at her through his frown, “I think not! They would send you off to children jail where you would be locked up in a room for the rest of your life eating nothing but slop. You’d be praying to Arceus that you even got to taste a vegetable again!” Yup, that’s right, Kero was threatening a five year old. “And…” He decided to add, “You’d never get to see your brother again.” [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

[orcakit]

Ookami shut his mouth and plopped down on the ground, pouting, <Not nice.> He commented resting his head on his paws and glaring at the ground. <Not nice at all!>

Eon stopped wagging and tilted his entire head backwards to gaze at Blue curiously. <I think you hurt his feelings.> He said, rolling over to his tummy and standing up. Eon gave himself a quick shake, eyes closed, then glanced back up at Blue, rearing up on his hind paws, in a failed attempt to get closer to Blue (He toppled over on his side), <You should say sorry!>

Kit's eyes flashed with barely concealed fear for a split second. She shook her head to clear it and narrowed her eyes, glaring up at Kero, forcing the fear down. "I don't like veggies...So I won't be praying to no one!" She snarled, "And I ain't letting ANYONE take Wess away from me!"

[wess]

"Yeah! No stupid noble is going to even try and tear our family apart again! We won't let you!" As if on cue, his Pokemon were on the move. With two flashes of bright light, and interesting formation devised by Wess' Pokemon occurred.

Wess' starters had devised a formula for his defense earlier, but now two of his new Pokemon were in on it.

With Terry the Tropius covering the back, he let out a loud roar in defense, as he threw his tail in front of Wess. Ben was carefully perched on top of Terry's head, ready to shoot out any water attack to counteract a fire-type one. Blair on the other other hand, had placed herself in front, her paws outstretched in a manner to defend her master. Maggie, the Magnetron, had appeared underneath her owner, and had him sitting on top of her, while her magnets rotated loudly. Cory, the Camerupt, was on the left flank, a determined look set upon his lazy face. This left Kit on Wess' right flank.

"...And if you try to separate us, my Pokemon won't take kindly to it..."

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Blue was still trying to ignore Kit’s pokemon even as Ookami claimed she hadn’t been nice. It wasn’t until Eon pointed out that she hurt Ookami’s feelings that Blue finally looked back at them. She was starting to feel a little bad for being mean. When Eon claimed that Blue should say she was sorry blue finally un-fluffed her feathers. She knew Kero would tell her that too… damn that sucked… But… With a heavy sigh, Blue stretched out her cotton like wings and flew down to Ookami. When her tiny feet touched the ground she hopped a couple times to get a bit closer. <I’m… Sorry…> She chirped in a rather tiny voice. Kero let out a rather large sigh as the two kids tried to defend themselves. The girl had clearly misunderstood why she would be praying to eat veggies over slop but Kero had no intentions on explaining it to her. She also didn’t seem to understand what it meant to be arrested. Then the boy seemed to forget that he was crying and somehow managed to twist Kero’s words from ‘if’ and ‘knights’ to ‘Kero is going to try and separate them’. Holy miltank, he felt like he was talking to a couple of five year old… wait… “First off I have no intentions of doing anything. You two clearly need to start attending school more often.” Kero growled, though his expression now looked as if he was simply disgusted by them rather then angry, “And you, boy, need to learn how to handle your pokemon properly. Unless you want to grow up to become a worthless thug who teaches his pokemon it’s ok to hurt people, I would suggest learning how to conduct a proper pokemon battle. Firstly, the person you challenge has be willing to battle. Secondly, in a proper battle, you don’t use all your pokemon unless you have clearly stated the nature of the battle. Besides, non of them look worth my time.” With that he crossed his arms, waiting to see if the kids would actually register anything [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

[orcakit]

Ookami immediately brightened and gave a joyful shake. <No problem!> He barked before chasing his own tail for a few seconds, <Nice to meetcha!>

Eon rolled his eyes and licked a paw, flicking it behind one of his long ears before greeting Blue. <I'm Eon!> He said cheerily, <Who are you?>

Kitsune sat down beside Kit who rested a hand on her head, still glaring at Kero. "School is boring. I sleep through it mister." She ground out, voice dripping with sarcasm, "And if you didn't mention the dumb knights then we wouldn't have this problem!" She re-folded her arms across her chest a smug smirk on her face, she obviously thought she was the smartest person in the world. "And brother knows how to control his Pokemon! We just won't be separated."

[wess]

Wess narrowed his eyes into vicious slits at the mans comment. "First off, Mister, you have no right to go throwing around your stupid little knights. These so called knights killed our parents, so now you have to two of us with only our Pokemon and some crazy, distant aunt. Next, you seem to think I don't pay attention in school. I'm at the top of my age group in there, thank you," Still fuming, the pale boy's cheeks turned bright red.

"And finally, if you get any ideas about hurting either one of us, or trying to separate us, you'll face the wrath of twins. And I have five Pokemon with me, and she has three. We're fine tuned in double battling as well, so get over yourself, before we show you what we're made of," Crossing his arms, he sat on the Magnezone's head, and let out a calm cry, which would equate to something along the lines of, <I believe what hipsters call it these days is bitch... So... Bring it on, Bitch!> The Magnezone looked quite pleased with herself, to the point that the ends of her magnets blinked their red and blue colors. She actually used a modern word. A rude word at that. Living outside the barrier. Oh yeah!

Wess stared with a malevolent glare, ready to give an issue of attack.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Blue seemed to take a few steps back when Ookami began to chase his tail. It seemed even though the tiny bird pokemon had apologized, it was still a bit nervous around the two pokemon. <Blue> She chirped in reply to Eon’s question, taking yet another step back as she resisted the urge to fly off on them. <What… are you guys doing?> “I can tell.” Kero replied to Kit’s comment about sleeping in school. The more she spoke the more it was made clear to Kero that she really had no concept of how the real world worked and just what jail was. Throwing around his stupid little knights? Did the kid even know what he was talking about? “Clearly they need to raise there expectations in your school” Kero commented after Wess claimed he was the top of his class. Kero had actually never went to school. He had private teachers all his life and was taught at home. He really had no idea what it was like to go to school but he was starting to feel glade he didn’t. “Get over myself?” Kero asked with half amusement before his expression became stern again, “You hit me with a pokeball. That’s called assault, whether you were here first or not. I gave you a warning and now you are threatening me. If anyone needs to get over themselves it’s you. Learn your place in this world if you want to be treated with respect. Right now, neither of you are worth my time.” He wasn’t afraid to battle the two. After all, he was the one who had been willing to take on the criminals of Era by putting up their wanted posters. Criminals who were capable of doing a lot more damage then two little kids. No, Kero truly did believe these two hadn’t deserved a pokemon battle with him. If they wanted to fight, they would have either have to attack him or learn to smarten up. Sure, they were only five years old, but Kero figured everyone, even at a young age, had to learn respect. “You should both be ashamed of yourselves. If you’re parents were alive, what would they say right now? Do you think they would be proud?” Ok, so Kero really had no idea what their parents were like, but he knew his parents wouldn’t have liked it if he acted like these two little brats. Using guilt on kids… yah, it was a good way to smarten them up in Keros mind. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

[wess]

Wess' eyes seemed to narrow into vicious little slits. He looked extremely pissed at the moment, and all of his Pokemon let out a unified roar. "Well, it's obvious someone of your caliber has never been to school," Wess says, recalling vocabulary that the older kids used.

When he started talking about assault, Wess just grew even more angry. "You're old! Aren't you people supposed to pay attention to your surroundings? It was clear that it was coming at you. I'm starting to wish it would of opened and sucked you in it!"

And finally, his parents. Wess eye's would of flamed a hot red if they could. "Don't talk about my parents. It's you loyalists, that killed them. Although, I wouldn't expect you to understand. After all, you liked having a kingdom. But look where that got you. A power struggle between groups of nobles,"

He was so close to just letting off a quadruple Bulldoze on the man to bury him over his head. Wess was inflamed with anger, and although it's rare for him, he seems to loose any and all sense of morality when it came to his parents. Especially his mother. The five year old looked like a comical sight, but deep down, he wasn't really joking.

[orcakit]

Kit frowned, casting a sideways glance at Wess. She had NO idea what he was talking about. Big and fancy words weren't something she was good with. She shook her head and shrugged it off. "I don't care what my parents would think." She muttered, not bothering to raise her voice to match her brother's.

Ookami looked at Eon then back at Blue, a shared smile flashed over both their faces, <Playing!> They said together.
<Wanna join us?> Eon asked, bouncing forward.
<It's fun!> Ookami added.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] P-play? Where these guys crazy? They were so much bigger then her! Ok the Eevee wasn’t that much bigger but… Hey… what was that on Ookami’s face? A… a piece of dirt? Umg! With a quick and swift movement the tiny Swablu raced towards Ookami, her cotton like wing out in an attempt to scrub his face quickly before turning around just as fast and running about a foot away. She had even let out a small chirp of fear after she had tried to clean his face. Well the girl was just stubborn and the boy… ugh, Kero could just slap him! He couldn’t argue at all about never being to school because, well, it was true. He hadn’t ever even set a foot in a school before. But damn it! It didn’t mean he was uneducated! Stupid little punk kid! “I was… reading.” Kero growled between his teeth at the boys comments about how he was old and how he should be able to pay attention to his surroundings. It was, in fact, the only excuse Kero could come up with for not having seen the ball coming his way. Whether or not he would have actually caught it if he saw it coming towards him… yah probably not. The last bit Kero was finally able to let his anger slide a bit as a smirk came across his face. “I’m not a loyalist kid.” He stated, which was defiantly the truth. He believed the royal family was dead. There was no way they would be coming back so hoping for it was pointless and a waste of time. “And at least my path isn’t going to lead me achieving nothing in my life. If you think you are above the law than your going to end up becoming nothing more but a thug with an early gravestone.” like Kero could speak about having an early grave stone. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]
