A walk in the old zoo. [MOD]

[shinigamivixen]

“Is this really a zoo?...”

Desiree couldn’t help but mumbled out upon walking inside the entrance of the old zoo. The sign still hang limply on the side of the entrance before finally falling off as the young girl tapped it with her hand. It was hard to believe this used to be one of Era’s grand attractions. Now wasting away into a nothing…

The young girl sighed. This was not a place she would dare bring her sister in if she had been alive and well. Heck Johto took better care of the Burnt Tower rather than this sorry excuse of a place. Only good thing about it, it was said to be abundant with pokemons once place on display here. A good chance to get another poke… Or just plain test out the Pidgey she unwittingly bought.

She whistled a small tune as she walked through the pathway now littered with broken pieces of metal as well as the ivy and foliages growing from the lack of care. All in all it looked like some ancient Maya ruins buried in some jungle. Plainly it was annoying, she was already contemplating on getting some sort of machete but that would be uncalled for anyway..

The young girl looked to and fro hoping to catch a single glimpse of whatever pokemon that was out here. But.. There was just none. I hope my coming here wont be a waste… She thought while digging through her pocket before pulling out a small pokeball. Her thumb was quick to press the white button.
“Freya c’mon out.” She said

A red light flashed from the ball as it landed on the ground right in front of her. From the light came out her Absol as it shook its body fluffing out her fur as it claws clicked on the cemented ground all the while scratching the itch just below her ears.

[Jay]

Not far off an Aipom was climbing a pole with her hand tail clutching what appeared to be a spherical object of some sort. Upon hearing something, the Aipom stopped and turned her head to see an Absol not far off. Once being around humans and learning more or less to be wary of certain pokemon, the Aipom suddenly took on the human's fear of the Absol upon seeing it. She had heard of such pokemon but never seen one up close. However, it still scared her none the less from what the humans she had once been around had said about such pokemon. The sudden rush of fear that drove into the Aipom caused her to scream out warning the other pokemon in the area that a disaster or something of the like was coming.

All the pokemon that would have been out during this time of day tensed back and reclused into hiding or simply fled the area as quickly as they possibly could. The sound of quick movement that broke into full silence after that was astounding to say the least of things.

[shinigamivixen]

A warning call sounded from afar as Desiree quickly looked back. It felt awfully familiar to the scene back in that village she dares not give a name in hopes of not flaring her temper. But it’s already late for that… The young girl turned her head at the source of the dreadful racket only to see… An Aipom dangling from a pole, her eye vehemently began to twitch in annoyance all the while staring at the creature with the full intent on either maiming it or just plain ripping that annoying grin off its face.

“Freya….” She spoke in small hushed voice through her gritted teeth.

The Absol instantly stopped scratching herself, she had been ignoring that annoying Aipom ever since it gave a warning call frankly she was already used to it by now. But her trainer never did like her plans being ruined… “Sol?” She said as if asking the problem.

“Neh Freya, do you want a new scratching post?” Desiree said, a small amused smile plastered on her delicate face. Inside her mind she was already thinking of the many ways she would torture the damn creature. She detested annoying clown like pokemon! Apparently Aipoms fell on that category. Ignoring the blasted thing she could live with but when it dares ruins her plans then that’s where she crosses the thin line. “Use Dark pulse on that thing and make damn sure you destroy that pole.” She commanded.

Freya hesitated for a few moments before finally sighing without a word she charged at the Aipom with the full intent to knock it off from the face of the planet. The Absol closed its reddish orbs as if concentrated on the dark energy swirling around it before sending a way of it straight at the Aipom. Probably more than enough to knock the silly beast of the pole and destroy the said pole.

[Jay]

A genuine relief took hold of the Aipom when she found that the other pokemon were away. However, upon seeing the Absol coming at her, the Aipom jumped up off the pole with ease dodging the Dark Pulse but watching the top of the pole break off from it. Feeling suddenly irritated, the Aipom flipped, landed in a tree, and shook one fist at the Absol as she continued to cling to the spherical orb with her tail hand. So a trainer had the Absol? she thought to herself. It didn't matter at this point. Trainers were bad too! They were always out to get the pokemon! The Aipom was annoyed now and sent off a Swift Attack at both the girl and the Absol.

[shinigamivixen]

Im going to kill that monkey Desiree’s mind thought with a lot of malice as she avoided the shooting stars. Now she was more than a bit pissed off, Control Desiree, control do not go gun waving at the blasted purple monkey let you dear pokemon handle that… She mentally chanted inside her head as a sort of mantra.

The young Absol quickly used Detect just in time to fully avoid the attack. A growl soon escaped her throat as her fur fluffed up. How dare that monkey attack her trainer! She lifted her claws flexing the razor sharp claws as she prepared to strike.

“Freya Bite that thing!” The young girl called out all the while watching the battle unfold. If that damn monkey dares attack her again then she might as well enjoy seeing its fried corpse. Freya barely held back a smirk as she charged towards the Aipom. Her fangs clearly visible as a dark aura surrounded it before… She bit down on the Aipom. Hard.

[Jay]

The Aipom was bit on her tail and let out a cry as she was forced to release the orb that was also clenched in her palm-hand. The spherical pokeball fell to the ground and made no motion to move. Flinching for half a second, the Aipom returned with the attack with a Thunderbolt using the touch of teeth on her tail as a connection at which to release the shock attack. Grinning a fraction as she went, the Aipom let out a laugh.

[shinigamivixen]

Freya was forced to let the Aipom go as the electricity surged through its body. The young Absol yelped before jumping away. God it hurt… She had been careless that time. She forced herself to move and attack the said annoying creature with the fury all women could summon when faced with something that pisses them off. Unfortunately Freya didn’t count on one thing… She could barely move. That Thunder bolt not only managed to harm her it also paralyzed her!

She glared at the monkey pokemon before she felt hand shoved a berry inside her mouth. She forced herself to chew not liking the spicy taste of the berry. But it seemed to work! Since she can move right now, Desiree sighed in relief thank god she remember those berries Emilia gave her. She immediately stepped away from the fight before her eyes ventured to the spherical object the annoying monkey drop. A pokeball? She thought picking up the said item before absentmindedly calling out. “Perish Song Freya”

Now she knew her trainer did not like the monkey… Without a hint of hesitation the Absol opened her mouth as a haunting melody soon came out enveloping the entire battlefield.

[Jay]

Upon hearing the song, the Aipom recoiled suddenly jumping away as though to try and get away from the song. She had not expected the Absol to use such an attack due to the nature of the attack to begin with. Shoving what could only be described as hands in her ears, the Aipom tried to lessen the sound but found it impossible to do so. Finally releasing a Shadow Ball at the Absol, the Aipom continued to try and lessen the sound.

[shinigamivixen]

Now she got the bastardious primate right where she wanted it… A small smirk crossed Freya’s face as the ball of Shadows connected with her body. But she didn’t winch in fact it felt like a tap rather than an attack. The perks of being a dark type were that ghost attacks barely hits their defenses.

Desiree was silent as she watched the whole exchange, it wont be long till that blasted monkey finally goes bye, bye then maybe she can fix the damage it caused to her plans. No shed probably never be made into a breeder after this one.. But hell who said she ever wanted to become one anyway. “Freya finish it off with Blizzard.” She called out from her spot leaning against one of the old benches.

Freya merely nodded taking a deep breath. And she hated snow as well.. But anything to be rid of the purple primate, the young Absol finished the song before she began to howl to the skies as snow began to fall before the winds grew into a blizzard ramming straight towards Aipom.

[Jay]

The Aipom was hit by the snow and brought up the hald on her tail in order to keep herself from falling over. Narrowing her gaze, she clasped her hands together and managed to pull up a Protect before too much damage was done. She flinched a fraction before releasing an Thunderbolt at the Absol again.

Meanwhile the pokeball that the Aipom had dropped twitched a fraction. Would Desiree open it?

[shinigamivixen]

Freya managed to detect the thunderbolt avoiding it just in time. Damn she hadn’t seen that coming, all the longer before that blasted primate finally meet its maker. The Absol’s eyebrow twitched a fraction before it managed to calm itself down. No sense getting tempers up just because of a miscalculation in the part of the defender.

Damn that ape is resilient… Desiree’s mind added sarcastically while she watched the battle unfold. In her hands the ball suddenly twitched as fraction as her gaze eventually left the battle but not before yelling out. “Freya Razor wind” With that done she stared at the ball contemplating whether or not to release the creature inside of it. Oh yes she was sure something was inside. After all how in the seven hells can an inanimate object move without something in it?

After weighing her options she decided to just give it a go after all it wont be a freaking Darkrai inside it right? Now that would just be insane. Without further adieu she release whatever was inside the pokeball.

Freya once again growled before charging at her prey the winds gathered around her as she ran. Slowly it formed into blades before the young Absol raised her claw in a swiping motion as the bladed winds immediately rammed into the small Aipom.

[Jay]

The Aipom grinned a fraction before meeting the Razor Wind with an easy Protect. She was getting confident now and then released a Focus Punch in order to try and knock the dark pokemon down before she passed out from the song's effect.

Being released, a very masculine Sitty appeared from within appeared and blinked rather in confusion as to where he was and what he was doing there. Looking around, he stared at the girl in confusion for a few seconds before turning his head to one side and waiting to see what the girl did.

[shinigamivixen]

Skitty?...

The young girl nearly voiced out in mild annoyance. She had never been a fan of cats especially a pink colored one.. They were just too… Girlish for her taste if she had been one of those primadonna’s on stage then she might reconsider. Eventually she pried her eyes away from the cat pokemon and all its… Pink-ness and turn it towards her Absol. Just in time to see the focus punch heading towards Freya.

“Freya use Protect now! Then finish it off with another Razor Wind!” She quickly commanded. Her eyes were eying the obnoxious monkey pokemon with all the annoyance she could muster. The sooner Freya gets rid of it the better for her suffering sanity. With that done she turned her attention to her newest problem… The Skitty.

Freya quickly summoned an invisible wall known to pokemon as Protect to shield herself from the impending blow of the Focus punch. It didn’t take long for the punch to connect with the shield. Freya growled baring her own set choppers as she called forth the help of the wind. With such a close proximity she doubt that Aipom could even avoid it in time. With one final growl the winded blades rammed straight into the weakened Aipom.

[Jay]

Suddenly hit with a direct Razor Wind attack, the Aipom fell backwards and didn't get up for a few seconds but somewhat twitched on the ground. In the next second, the Perish Song took full affect and caused the Aipom to faint right then and there.

The extremely masculine Skitty stared with what could only be a military expression at the girl in front of him wondering why he had been brought forth from a pokeball by her hand. He raised an eyebrow and wondered what had happened to his previous trainer. "Skit?" he asked with an obscurely deep voice that was questioning the girl as to what happened to his trainer.

[shinigamivixen]

And with that ends the annoying tale of the silly purple chimp.

Freya couldn’t help but grin at her victory over the dreaded chimp. Sure it was childish but hell she was happy to finally be rid of the annoying creature. “Sol!” She called out to her trainer before padding her way towards the girl leaving the said chimp to its own devices. Heck it could rot in the pit of the distortion world for all she cared.

Pink Cat…. Desiree thought as she stared at the masculine cat. Well… Someone sure loved to work out. And just her luck the thing has a trainer! But oh well the sooner she was rid of the pink demon the better for the sake of her beloved eyes. “Sorry pal, I think you’ve been pokenap by that Aipom over there.” She explained gesturing over at the now knocked out chimp. “I can help look for your trainer if you want but Im not giving any guarantees that he/she is still even in this place.” She added as an afterthought.

[Jay]

The Skitty looked around and an almost animated stress mark came on his forehead before he finally sighed outwards. "Skit," he answered back before looking back at the girl with a nod. So he'd been taken by the monkey? The pink cat shook his head and sighed outwards before looking back at the girl and simply nodding before starting to look around for any possible sign of his trainer.

The area was quiet, yet not far off there was sudden movement. A little kid came running straight out of the bush area and tackled his Skitty. "Fluff!" he exclaimed happily hugging the very masculine Skitty who appeared rather pleased to be tackled more or less. The kid looked up at the girl and suddenly grinned. "Thanks for getting Fluff back!" he said grinning before frowning. "The Aipom took him when he was in his pokeball..."

[shinigamivixen]

If you’re annoyed pal I can solely agree with you She thought before looking around for any signs of the Skitty’s trainer. Whoever it was.. “C’mon then your trainer might still be here…” She absentmindedly spoke heading towards the eastern direction. She waved her hand lightly as Freya immediately jogged to her side. She rarely used words in commanding her pokemon. She found it better to just use hand signal and body movement rather than use noise to excite her team. Excitement wasn’t something shed like when training her pokemon.

Her gazed turned from left to right as if trying to catch a glimpse of the pink cat’s trainer. But there was nothing except the deserted ruins of the once famed zoo. Desiree turned back to the Skitty and was just about to say something when the bush suddenly rustled alerting her of a nearby presence just to her right. If it’s that Aipom, Im going to skin it alive. Desiree’s mind suddenly added with the intent t bloody murder any purple chimps that came near her.

She stared at it for a few moments before a child came running out tackling the Skitty in a mighty hug. “I guess we found your owner then..” She mumbled partially to herself before glancing back at the fallen Aipom just in the distance. “I don’t think that Aipom would trouble you anymore… But you’re free to catch it if you want I think it’s still alive over there.” She said nonchalantly handing the child’s pokemon back in his hands.

[Jay]

The child looked at the girl and then at the fallen Aipom before looking back at the girl. He was surprised that she wasn't going to catch it, but after a moment, he rummaged in his pocket, found an unused pokeball, and threw it at the Aipom who, after a moment, was drawn inside and caught. The little boy ran over towards the pokeball and picked it up before grinning back at the girl. "Thanks!" he said happily in a very child-like way before grinning. "Come on Fluff! We gotta go find Mom! Bye bye!" With that the kid waved back to the girl before starting to run off with the Skitty in tow.

It was silent then and there. No pokemon stirred, and there appeared to be no sign of pokemon at all. Would Desiree chose to stay or move on?

[shinigamivixen]

The young girl barely held back a grimace before the give gave her a look that clearly said ‘why not catch the pest?’ “I’m allergic to chimps.” She merely stated before watching him rummaged through his pocket for an empty pokeball. She didn’t utter a word as the boy captured the Aipom. “You might want to get it healed though…” She muttered before sighing as the child soon ran off with his Skitty.

Now with that dilemma out of the way she needed to get back to her own business. “C’mon Freya let’s look around for something worthwhile around here.” She said before walking off northbound. There has got to be a pokemon around this joint she simply refused to give up now! Maybe I should have ripped that chimp apart… Her mind voiced out sadistically.

[Jay]

There was still a lack of anything really around in the area at that point. The wind brushed through the area bringing with it nothing but silence and cool air as it rattled a few of the old cages and things. However, just then the sound of running feet seemed to hit the air, and three Girafarig followed by a tall boy chasing after them came into view. "Get back here! Come on guys! They're nothing around here! Guys!" the boy called out as he continued to try and chase the Girafarig that were promptly ignoring him. Suddenly the boy tripped and fell flat on his face. One of the Girafarig stopped and turned to stared at the boy before laughing at his trainer and starting to run again. "Come on..." the boy sighed again trying to force himself off the ground.
