But like all good things
that pass you by,
its like a lost soul
in the time of need.
It made me grow up fast
and put some blood on my knees
and you don't even know
what's beyond you.

With a final flap of his wings, Kuro landed inside the tower, looking around the area with a deep rumbling growl from within his chest as he lowered himself down for his rider to slide off. Swinging one leg over to the other, Akira pushed himself from the Dragonite's back and hit the ground with a solid thud of his boots against the old dusty wood, taking a look around as his pokemon had done not moments ago, his nose wrinkling slightly with the tust that rose to meet it - urging himself not to sneeze. It was filty here, but he came in a search of power... he was determined to take back over, now that he was mentally stable... but with a change of heart, he also had changed his mind on the way he would work things once taking back over his seat.

and to do that, the silver-haired teen sought more power to add to his team.

If he had to, he would do a forceful take over, not enjoying that his fall from his position had, more than likely, made him look weak in the eyes of others - and he was more than willing to turn those ideas right around in the minds of people. Bringing the Shadow Dragonite back into his ball, Akira tucked it away, the Pichu looking out from under his hood with a slight yawn, watching with great interest as to where they were, "Chuuuu~?" He purred to his trainer, nuzzling the teens cheek happily. Smiling, Aki rose a gloved hand to scratch at Tim's head, "Ready for this...? We have alot of work to do... and not much time to do it..."

[/b] With an enthusiastic nod, the Pichu clapped his paws together, urging Akira on as he moved through the tower.

In the rafters of the very top ceiling of Aerial Tower, a Chatot sang rather musically in tune. She didn't seem to really take in anything around her and was, at the moment, oblivious to the boy and his pokemon that had just entered the tower. It was possibly because she had made this place her home and felt safe her that she had no worries, but then again, it might just have been that she was too dense to worry. Ah well~ There was one bird, at least. If one looked just a few degrees to the right of the Chatot, what appeared to be two Pidgey were snuggling up against one another rather peacefully. A Taillow was hiding a bit into the shadows of the rafter area, but that appeared to be the bulk of the pokemon in the immediate area.

Looking at each pokemon as he saw them, Akira sighed softly before looking at Tim. "Anything here look to be of interest...?" He asked the tiny yellow mouse, who also looked over each pokemon, head tilted slightly before calling out to the Taillow, or what he thought was one at least, judging from the shadow he was able to see,"PI PI PIIIIIIIII~!" Looking from his partner to the pokemon he assumed he was calling to, Akira's lips thinned and nodded, holding his arm up and out for the mouse to run the length and leap up to the rafters to land before the Taillow... with a little struggle of course, having hit the wood and almost falling off - he wasn't a graceful flying type after all. Sitting before the tiny bird, the pichu held a paw out for it with a wide grin. While his trainer turned his attention elsewhere, looking toward a different section of the building.

[Jay]

Upon being called out to, the Taillow stared for a moment and turned his head to one side. "Low?" he asked. <What's a little mouse doing all the way up here?> was more or less the translation. It wasn't safe as far as he could figure especially with the floorboards and the general tower the way it was. What in the world was a Pichu doing up there .>. Meanwhile, as the young man looked around for more pokemon, a sound would hit his ears rather quickly. If Akira happened to look just outside the window, he would see a rather large Fearow flying about and looking a tad more perturbed than he needed to be, to say the least of it.

Blinking at the question toward him, Tim tilted his head slightly as well before looking around him, seeing nothing wrong as to being up here. Of course getting down may become a problem later... but, that would come later. "Pichu? pi pi pi!" <I jumped? But I wanted to explore!"> he chimed, making himself comfortable before the Taillow with a grin, "Pi, pichu pi... pi pi chu." < Besides, my trainer would save me.... if I fell.> Tim spoke with a giggle, pointing down to Akira who's attention was turned to the window. Blinking a couple times, the silver-haired teen moved over to the window, peering out to catch a glimpse of things happening outside.

[Jay]

The Taillow seemed to turn his head slowly to one side listening to the wording of the Pichu before slowly looking off towards Akira and then back at Tim again. <Ah, just be careful ok?> he smiled after a moment. Though he preferred to stay in the shadowy areas and out of sight from most of the other larger pokemon in the area, didn't meant he wasn't at leas somewhat friendly. <So what's up? Aside from the tower anyways> he joked after a moment.

Meanwhile, the sudden call from the Fearow came again, and the bird rushed past the window again. If one actually looked out the window, he would see a Pidgeotto clashing with the Fearow. Both of them appeared to be in some sort of fitted battle of sorts clashing against one another at certain intervals only to break apart and fly around a bit before clashing again.

Nodding at the Taillow's words, Tim nodded enthusiastically, grinning practically from ear to ear as he inched a little closer to the bird. <Why are you hiding anyway?> He asked idly, settling into a dip in the wood, acting like a seat for the tiny pokemon. As the Taillow cracked his joke, Tim giggled, placing a paw over his mouth, <My human is looking for new partners to help him! I'm here helping!> He waved toward Akira once more, quite confident in his trainer.

With a smirk growing on his face as he watched the two, Akira reached behind him and pulled out a pokeball before releasing Kurosu into the air before him. "Go." It was all the dragon needed as he spotted the two birds fighting and narrowed his eyes, his antennae sparking with a thunderbolt as he shot forward, throwing the attack toward the pokemon.

[Jay]

The Taillow seemed to stop a moment at Tim's words. <Eh, it's just been a long day> he answered back nodding his head. Indeed, too much drama in the nest, and those two were still going at it outside. Though most probably couldn't hear from where he was, the Taillow heard the clashing of the Fearow and the Pidgeotto very clearly. From as far as he could tell, they had gotten into some sort of fight about who was stronger, and it simply escalate form there.

Meanwhile, both birds were hit by the electrical sparks from the dragon, and in another moment, they both had turned violently looking at the dragon. Not waiting fro any sort of cue, the Fearow suddenly charged towards the dragon unleashing a Drill Peck as he went. The Pidgeotto seemed to take after a close second and attacked with an Air Slash.

With a slight tilt of his head, his smile fading slightly, he nodded solemnly, <Oh... I see.> He returned, glancing to his trainer as the boy released his dragon out to 'tame' the birds and grinned yet again. <Do you wanna go watch?> He asked the Taillow, looking overly thrilled to see Akira battling again, tail swaying slightly as an excited dog would wag theirs.

Pumping his wings, Kurosu managed to dodge the attack from the fearow, but couldn't dodge both and took the attack from the Pidgeotto, hissing in anger. Narrowing his eyes further, he flew up above the two, parting his maw to release an ice beam, tilting his head to try to hit both birds below him. From the window, Akira watched patiently, leaning against the sill of the window - not a single emotion painted on his face.

[Jay]

The Taillow frowned a little at Tim's words and seemed to think for a moment before he actually answered. <I guess> he finally murmured back. For all his species was as territorial birds, he was a peace-lover when it came down to it. However, then again, as long as he wasn't dragged into their annoying bickering, it would be fine.

The Ice Beam bit the Fearow rather hard, and for a moment, a part of his wing was frozen. However, he managed to crack the ice that had formed over his wing with a few beats of it causing him to rise up in the air again. Forming yet another Drill Peck, the large bird attacked. The Pidgeotto, though smaller than the Fearow, was faster and able to dodge the ice attack before forming a Mirror Move and suddenly releasing a violent Ice Beam attack of his own back at the dragon.

More than able to hear the emotion in the pokemon's voice, Tim tilted his head again <At least he's stopping that terrible noise?> Tim suggested, inching closer again, <We don't have to, or... you don't have to.> He spoke, trying to include the bird as if he were his new best friend... which he probably was, knowing Tim. He loved making new friends... and easily made them in his eyes. <Maybe at least meet my human later...? He's really nice...>

Growling, the Dragonite saw the Pidgeotto dodge his attack and both coming back at him. With a smirk, He tucked his wings in and flew past the Fearow in attempt to have the other bird take the majority of the ice beam, either between his speed or the other bird taking the attack, he found his tail frozen from the mirrored move, as the Drill peck rammed into his shoulder, causing the shadow dragon to roar. Gritting his fangs, he formed another Thunderbolt to fly out from his being.

[Jay]

The Taillow seemed to relax a little and nodded at the Pichu's answer. Well... alright. He saw nothing wrong with meeting a human, really. <Alright> he finally answered back stepping forwards and then leaning over the beam. <Do you need a lift down?> he asked.

Meanwhile, the Fearow was hit by a tid bit of the Ice Beam from the Pidgeotto while the attacking bird seemed to smirk at hitting two targets. However, the electricity that surged through the Pidgeotto after that was enough to paralyze him, and though he stayed conscious, the Pidgeotto could no long keep flying and started to plummet. Meanwhile, the Fearow took the damage and somehow managed to push it off, maybe from a combo of excessive pride and will perhaps, and after a moment, he formed yet another Drill Peck and charged again.

With his grin widening, if possibly, Tim clapped his paws together - A habit he had developed to express his happiness or joy - at the fact that he had agreed to meet his trainer. Sure... the boy had changed from before, but he still held a deep love and respect for pokemon - and that was something that the pichu adored in his trainer. <I'm sure he'll like you!> Though, as the other offered for a lift down, he blushed a bit under his yellow fur with a sheepish nod <T-that would be great...>

Pulling out an empty pokeball from his pouch, Akira tossed it down at the Pidgeotto, both wanting the bird for his own and not wanting it to fall down to a horrible crash. "Kurosu, follow the ball, catch it if it's captured." With a nod, Kuro folded in his wings and began to dive, only to be slammed into by the Fearow and his attack, roaring in anger <GET OUT OF MY WAY> With that, he shot a flamethrower toward the bird, starting to dive once more.

[Jay]

The Taillow nodded his head and spread his wings a bit making a sort of archway so that Tim could easily get on his back, and once secure, the bird took off rather easily and all but gracefully floated down from the rafter area before fianlly landing on the ground just a short bit away from Akira.

Meanwhile, the Pidgeotto was hit by the falling pokeball and drawn inwards rather quickly. The ball shook in mid air and continued to shake for a good few seconds. The Fearow was hit by the Flamethrower from the dragon and cried out in pain. However, he somehow managed to fight and hold onto consciousness through it and shook his head. Forming a Mirror Move, he shot the fiery attack back at the dragon. The pokeball, meanwhile, finally rang in capture but continued to fall.


Name:
Species: Pidgeotto
Gender: Male
Ability: Tangled Feet
Personality: This Pidgeotto is a prideful bird. He believes what is his is his and will fight and bicker over it till the end. He sees himself as the head of his flock which includes his trainer and his trainer's pokemon and would rather lead than follow. He will take orders when given by his trainer but generally ignores other humans and will retaliate harshly when given orders by pokemon.

Climbing onto the bird's back, Tim steadied himself as he took off from the rafters to soar down to Akira's side. As the Taillow landed, Tim launched from his back to scuttle over to his trainer's leg, gripping the fabric of his pants above the boot to tug at it, trying to get the silver-haired teen's attention. Thinning his lips at the battle outside, Akira indeed looked down as the Pichu demanded his attention - noting the bird as he was pointed to. Placing a smile at the corners of his lips instead of the scowl he held moments before, Akira crouched down and scratched Tim's head as he looked at the Taillow, "Made a new friend, Tim?"

[/b] He asked idly, looking the tiny flying type over. Reaching into one of the pouches hanging from his belt, he pulled out a piece of pokemon food and offered it to the bird, trying to keep himself calm instead of worrying about the battle outside.

Hearing the pokeball cling shut below, Kuro's attention was immediately turned to it instead of the fearow - a single claw outstretched toward the red and white sphere below. With a graceful swoop, he caught the occupied sphere and snapped his wings open, recovering from the dive... and heading right into the flamethrower. Roaring with rage and pain, the dragon raised his free claw and sped toward the bird ahead, slashing at it with a dragon claw. <I GAVE YOU WARNING, NOW PERISH!>

[Jay]

Watching Tim get a hold of Akira's attention, the Taillow couldn't help but find a small chuckle of sorts working up in himself. After a few seconds, he noticed that he was being offered something. Hm? A peace gift maybe~? Well that was certainly nice of him, especially considering most humans tended to attack things as far as he saw it. The thought that this could be some sort of trap never even seemed to come to the bird's mind despite how wary he thought himself to be of humans. Whether this was stupidity or just a deep internal need to connect was anyone's guess, yet somewhere in th world, a psychologist just face/desk'd. After a few seconds, the Taillow inched himself forwards and took the food. Oh hey, this wasn't bad.

The Dragon Claw, though far from any sort of super effective move, did slash at the Fearow rather hard. However, whether from excessive amounts of self-pride of just a stubborn unwillingness to go down, the Fearow somehow managed to keep flying. Forming a Mirror Move, the Fearow retaliated with a similar (if a tad less powerful given attack and STAB) Dragon Claw.

Watching as the tiny bird took the offered food, a small smile touched the corners of Akira's lips - though the motion was short lived as his eyes fell down to the floor, trailing out to the dragon still being assaulted by the bird outside. With his lips thinning, a soft sigh escaped the boy, the mind that used to be so peaceful at one point racing with thoughts, flying this way and that - never organized nor quite chaotic - lost somewhere in between. Though, more or less, at the time being, it was enough to where he could push it back for now and looked back down to Tim and the Taillow. The young Pichu had a somewhat concerned look on his face as he inched closer to Akira, placing a paw on his boot before sitting and grinning, seemingly pleased with the attention returned. <He's not too bad, see!>

Holding the pokeball close to his chest, Kuro growled as he saw the mirror moved formed and the dragon claw threw back toward him. Shifting, knowing he wouldn't be able to dodge it, he too the attack across the shoulders, causing him to roar with fury, eyes now glowing with an unamused edge. <I gave you warning, you should have left when you could...> Turning to face the bird once more, starting to feel drained from the fight, the dragon released a Thunderbolt toward the bird once more, determined to take him down now.

[Jay]

The Taillow watched Tim after a moment and chuckled to himself nodding his head slowly. <Ya he's not> he agreed after a moment more before registering the sound of fighting outside for a brief moment before sighing and then looking at Akira carefully. .3>. What was up...with his face? One side was different from the other.... <What's that?> he asked pointing to the slightly obscurer part of Akira's face.

Ah, and that was it for the Fearow. Though he had put up the best fight he could, it seemed it just wasn't enough against the dragon. Cringing a little in mid air before slowly relaxing his form, the Fearow then began to free fall downwards unable to awaken in order to catch himself.

This answer seemed to please Tim and he gave a wide smile at the bird before it faded as he caught sight of the Taillow staring at his human. It didn't take much, nor did it take his question for Tim to know what he was looking at. Turning his gaze to the floor, staring at it as if it were one of the most intricate things he had ever seen, Tim shuffled a bit <I-it's a mark...> He spoke the obvious, knowing exactly how Akira felt of it, <I know his father gave it to him.... he doesn't really like it, kinda hates it really...> His voice was quiet as he held his paws together before him. <He doesn't talk much about it, he does his best to forget it's there... but sometimes it's hard for him...>

As Akira saw the Fearow fall, he also caught sight of his tired dragon turning to face him as if asking "what next?". Looking back down to the bird, Akira sighed and nodded toward it, the dragon diving once more to catch the bird before it hit the ground and laid it gently on the grass below. He didn't exactly enjoy such a kind movement to a pokemon he considered an enemy, but it was quickly forgotten as he spread his wings once more to return to his trainer, landing on the windowsill, handing the filled pokeball to his trainer before glancing at Tim and the Taillow.

[Jay]

As Tim spoke, the Taillow found his eyes darting away rather quickly as an unnerved feeling came into himself. It...it sounded bad and..but...but... Focusing in on the wood of the rafters instead of anything else, he made a quiet 'hm' sound. <T-that's not fair...> he finally answered back finding his words a tad different from what he had wanted to say.

Meanwhile, the sounds of thunder suddenly rumbled in the distance, and if one looked out far enough in the direction Akira was facing, eyes would see a good number of rolling clouds moving towards the tower. For now, they were still far off at least, yet they threatened rain among other things that could prove unpleasant if one was not careful or prepared.

Somewhere below Aki, possibly in the terrace of sorts that made up the tower, a Hoothoot called out rather quickly before falling silent again.
