Not far off, a Elekid could be seen walking around with a large branch in one arm. Who knew exactly where he was taking it, but one could assume from his expression that it must have been somewhere important. A Slakoth was sitting lazily by a fence a bit further on. A Vigoroth sat next to him and seemed to be telling some sort of story, possibly. If one looked on the other side of the Vigoroth, she'd see.... another Slakoth. Oh my was it just a family or something? Who knew. If Elayne looked a bit in the opposite direction, she would see a... .... seriously? A Slaking? Somewhere in the world, a puppet master just cracked up laughing.

Curious as to what the group was doing, Elayne walked over to them, Lily and Elly following close behind her. "Hello there,"Elayne said in a gentle voice, hoping not to surprise the group.[/scrolly] |

The Vigoroth looked up a moment when Elayne's voice come to his ears, and for a few seconds, he seemed to eye the woman just a bit curiously before looking at the Skakoth that he was telling the story to and finally back at Elayne. <Hello> he finally stated in poke-speech being unable to state it any other way. The Slakoth raised one arm somewhat slowly and waved at Elayne gently. <Suuuuuuuuuuuuuup?> she asked extremely slowly which came out in 'slaaaaaaaaaaak'. Meanwhile, the other Slakoth looked towards Elayne and suddenly seemed to tense. o.o; Who was this?

My name's Elayne, are you hungry? Do you want some food?"she asked in a gentle voice.
Lily waved her leaf in greeting to the Slakoth and Vigoroth that had looked at them and tilted her head to the right,<"What were you talking about?"> she asked in a curious voice before walking over to them.
Elly remained by Elayne's side and sat down, keeping an ever watchful eye on what was going on.[/scrolly] |

The Slackoth that had been offered the food seemed to freeze for a good few seconds before slowly breathing out again. "Sla..." he murmured a tad unsure of himself before slowly beginning to trek over towards Elayne very slowly both given because of his species as well as his wariness at that particular moment.
The Vigoroth seemed to half smile at Lily. <I was telling a story about one of my experiences here> he explained. <When I was a Slakoth, I used to get attacked by this rather oddly colored Lickitung but he disappeared one day a long time ago, you see.> For all his vast violent species called for, this particular Vigoroth seemed rather calm and complacent. The Slakoth that had been listening to the story nodded her head slowly.

Lily's eyes grew wide when she heard that the Vigorath was telling stories,<"A story?! Can I hear it too please?">[/scrolly] |

The Slakoth finally came forwards fully and warily took the food from Elayne's hand before biting into it quietly. "Oth," he answered back a slow and quiet thank you of sorts. It wasn't that he was trying to hide any sort of gratitude so much as his species made it hard to be speedy, truthfully. Meanwhile, the Vigoroth blinked and looked at the Chikorita and then to the Slakoth. <I'd actually just almost finished it> he explained sweat dropping a little.

I made it myself actually, would you like some more?"
Lily looked disappointed when the Vigoroth said that he had finished telling the story and sighed,<"Oh ... that's ok. Do you have any other cool stories to tell?">[/scrolly] |

The Slakoth hesitated a moment before nodding a bit slowly. Sure... that sounded nice mmm. Meanwhile, the Vigoroth seemed to put a finger to his chin in thought. <Hmmm do you want to hear about the 'prince' of the zoo?> he asked after a moment. The Slakoth blinked a little. She hadn't heard that story before o3o.

At the mention of the story, Lily perked up immediately and nodded, eyes sparkling with delight,<"Yes! I mean ... I haven't heard that one before~.>[/scrolly] |

The Slackoth seemed to grin and ate more of the food slowly and carefully before finally nodding at Elayne. "Sla," she smiled thanking the kind woman. Meanwhile, the Vigoroth grinned and nodded. <Once upon a time, there was an Axew that believed himself to be 'king' because his father was caught the weeks previously. He ruled the zoo rather viciously and through around his weight as much as he could. However, one day, a knight from a far away land came and defeated the prince stating that he couldn't rule in such a cruel way and that he had to learn to be nice. The Axew didn't understood and instead had his knights attack the knight. However, the outsider defeated all the pokemon and explained that he would not take the king away but that he had to learn to be a better king...> the Vigoroth explained.

Have you ever been outside of these walls before ... ? I mean, have you been to the ocean or seen the snow in the mountains, there are so many amazing things outside ... I could show them to you if you would like you know, you and your friends."
Lily listened to the story with wide, excited eyes, paying rapt attention to the Vigorath. Well, the Axew certainly didn't sound very nice, maybe he would find a queen that would make him nice! That would be cool~ but if that didn't happen that would be OK too~.[/scrolly] |

The Slackoth seemed to slowly turn her head to one side at Elayne's words. Her mind was moving a bit slower than before, but the realization of what the girl was purposing was coming to mind. Traveling on foot would be tedious especially given her species... but...the possibility of being able to see them with help... and to be taken care of by this girl... that was... well that seemed interesting indeed. After a moment, she slowly nodded at Elayne. Yes, that would be nice.
The Vigoroth continued to explain how the Axew then began to use kindness to rule his kingdom and how he acquired pokemon that loved him for being kind and how more pokemon became his knights after that. A quiet smile came to the Slackoth's face as he listened to the story. At least there was a positive outcome, indeed.

Lily was entranced by the story and pleased by the outcome to be sure, upon hearing that the Axew did become nice, she squeaked in delight only to turn bright red out of embarrassment shortly afterwords. <"I'm glad he learned to be nice after all~, hey do you want to hear a really awesome story? It's totally true too! It's about an Eevee and how she escaped-"> Lily began only to be interrupted by Elly.
"I believe that is my story to tell,"Elly said in a gentle voice, walking over to the Vigorath and the Slakoth and laughing lightly,"Lily seems to think you'd like to hear it though ... , so shall I begin?"[/scrolly] |

The Slakoth disappeared into the pokeball rather easily, and the ball itself moved slightly in hesitation but then settled after that.
Name: Species: Slakoth Gender: Female Ability: Truant Personality: A rather slow thinking pokemon but very logical, this Slakoth is kind and considerate when given the time to be. She has an innate ability to understand even the most complex of problems, but it does take her a long time to adequately express what she wants to explain. She enjoys the simple things in life but can be a tad materialistic especially when it comes to trying to impress others. She feels compelled to give some sort of gift in order to compensate for her slowness, and herself in general. She's rather reserved when it comes to her fears, and because of this, she appears almost fearless. She actually deeply fears evolving into a vicious killer of a Vigoroth and tends to fear evolution in general for this reason.
The Slakoth had blinked a moment as Lily had started the story, yet when Elly stated that it was her story to tell, the somewhat slow pokemon understood that it was her personal story. The Vigoroth, who had caught on rather quickly whose story it was, seemed to smile a bit. <If you wouldn't mind telling it, I wouldn't mind listening> he answered back.

Sitting nearby, Elayne waited to see what would happen.
Elly smiled and nodded,"Of course ... , it is a good story, and one that Lily has heard quite often,"she began calmly before taking a deep breath and continuing,"There once was a young Eevee born into captivity, she had never known her parents but the people there loved her and took care of her. The youngling was happy and wanted to please the people who took care of her and trained hard every day to get stronger so that she would be able to protect them one day. But the Eevee's happy life would soon come to an end ... the humans noticed the young Eevee's resolve to get stronger and gave her over to a trainer. At first the Eevee was excited but the first time she failed at a task, the human whipped her with something that looked like a long black vine and ordered her to try again." Elly stopped for a moment and closed her eyes, trying to block out the memory that threatened to rear its ugly head. [/scrolly] |

The quiet interest that played on the Slakoth's face could be mimicked well enough with the Vigoroth's expression. They both listened intently to the story, yet both reflected a quiet unsure and questioning look as Elly continued to talk. When she finally explained more, both began to frown. That.... sounded sad. As Elly stopped, both simply remained quiet waiting for her to continue.

Elly looked up at Elayne and calmed before taking a deep breath and continuing,"The young Eevee got up and did as she was told, but again every time she failed she felt that painful lash. It turns out that the man was only wishing for the young Eevee to evolve, and thus was pushing her into becoming stronger so that she would be able to learn to control the power easier. One day, a chest was brought before the Eevee with three stones inside it that would make the Eevee evolve. On either side of the chest was a Flareon and a Jolteon, and both were glaring at the Eevee as if she was somehow inferior to them. Frightened, the Eevee hid only to be dragged out by both of the Pokemon and soundly lashed ... the human said that it would stop if only she evolved. The young Eevee was tempted to ... but she wanted to be able to save others on her own strength, not with the help of some stone! Somehow the Eevee managed to escape the pokemon and ran away, not wanting to be forced to evolve,"Elly said before taking a deep breath and continuing,"The man didn't come for weeks after that, and for a while the Eevee believed that he had gone away for good and went back to training once again. But the man did indeed come back with the same box, the same pokemon, and the same black vine. Once again, the Eevee was beaten for her failure but this time a young girl was watching and stopped the man, taking the lashes herself. The man stopped immediately and ordered the girl to move, when the girl refused the man simply threw the vine aside and walked out with his pokemon and box. The girl said that she had to leave then but promised to come back for the young Eevee. Filled with hope that the hurt would stop, the Eevee nodded and watched the girl leave and patiently waited for her return. The girl had been hoping to get her parents to stop the cruelty, but alas her parents did not listen. Days went by and the young Eevee was losing hope that the girl would ever come back when that night, the girl did indeed come and took the young Eevee away from that place, promising to protect her from then on. The Eevee was filled with happiness and hoped that one day she would be able to return the favor and remained by the girl's side from that day on."
Elayne smiled down at Elly and hugged the Espeon,"And you have Elly ... more than you could possibly imagine,"Elayne said quietly even as Elly purred, feeling safe in Elayne's arms just as she had when she was a young Eevee.
Lily watched Elly and Elayne with a smile on her face though she did feel oddly out of place ... hey she should hug too! Walking over to Elly and Elayne, Lily did her best to 'hug' the other two though without arms it looked more like she was leaning against them than anything else. Heh ... oh well, it's the thought that counts.[/scrolly] |

The story continued to receive the quiet attentiveness of both the Slakoth and the Vigoroth, and once it was done, both seemed to smile, the Vigoroth for different reasons than for the Slakoth. <You've been through much> the Vigoroth commented rather quietly. <To find happiness, that's what we all want isn't it?> he grinned having a slight philosophical air that came and went. The Slakoth blinked a moment then only fully registering that Elly had been talking about herself. As the hugs commended, the Slakoth seemed to frown and stood up after a moment bfore moving to hug the group as well as best he could. The Vigoroth just chuckled ever so slightly.

"Thank you," she said quietly to the Slakoth, Vigoroth, and Lily.
Elly nodded at the Vigoroth and smiled, "Indeed I have, but it was worth it ... I would go through it all again if it meant meeting Elayne. Would you two perhaps like to accompany us? I'm sure Lily would be interested to hear some more of your stories."
Upon hearing Elly mention stories, Lily perked up and nodded enthusiastically, she loved stories![/scrolly] |
