Playing Games (Cora)

[Jay]

Rosa sat up in bed and yawned deeply stretching her arms up. H-hey! It was Saturday! That meant she didn't have to go to tutoring or school today... well that morning, anyways. She had to go to tutoring in the afternoon for...music? yeah music, but that wasn't until the afternoon which meant she had all morning to play! Thrusting herself up off the bed, Rosa quickly ran to her closet and began to go through her numerous dresses fishing out the one she wanted before quickly throwing a pink soft dress over her head and hesitating a moment as she fished at the zipper on her back. Managing to get it half way, which was good enough for her, Rosa quickly bounded towards her door, threw it open, and scaled down the steps of the castle.

The sounds of running were enough to cause Felis to look up from the book that he had been reading. Ever since Elayne had made him m or less study after her break up, he realized how much he missed curling up with a good gardening book and simply reading for a few hours. Thus, that morning with all his previous paperwork done the day previous, he had done just that adn was now sitting in one of the main rooms just off of Rosa's and his own bedroom. The sound of feet rolling down the stairs was enough to cause Feliciano to look up just in time to see Rosa come bounding down the stairs with a huge smile on her face. "Well good morning, Rosa~" he smiled softly.

Rosa stopped short when she heard her name and realized that she had been about to leave a room that contained Felis in it. Whipping around, ahe flashed a confident smile. "Morning Felis!" she beamed stopping and bouncing on her heels as she looked at her older brother. "Felis! Feliiiiiiis! I wanna go play! It's Saturday, ok?" Rosa demanded. Felis sweat dropped a moment before offering a small smile and sighing.

"Alright alright... just don't go so far as Serenity Gardens without Elayne or Miguel or myself," he smiled. Rosa grinned and nodded her head. "Deal!" she answered back before suddenly taking off down through the next hall. "Sheryl! Sheryl!" the young girl called, and sure enough, a newly evolved Haunter came floating through a wall smiling gently at Rosa. The young girl flashed a smile upon seeing her ghos friend before quickly taking her 'hand' which Sheryl only allowed her to touch, and starting to 'drag' the ghost out towards the front door. "Come on we don't have enough time! Let's go go go!" she called before braking out the front door and running out into the gardens that were there. This was going to be fun! She just knew it would!

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Otsuyu was wandering around the forest just outside of the Forest castle, though she had gotten her self lost. She had never been this far and had no idea where to go. For what felt like hours the young white haired girl just wandered around till she stopped, crossed her arms and frowned. "" I'm getting no where fast.... But all these trees look the same... If only I could get up high and get a better look around..." Otsuyu said. Then Otsuytu's eyes became wide and she smile. She could use Shinn! The ghost Pokemon she had bought! He was a giant after all and if she stood in his shoulder, she would be able to see lots more things. Otsuyu then took out Shinn's pokeball and smiled. Yes she paid a lot of money for the huge Pokemon, but it was worth it. He was just so sweet and looked so sad to be all alone in that store, she could not just leave them there. " Shinn! Come on out!." Otsuyu called. With a flash of light Shinn the giant Pokemon towered over the trees in the forest. Otsuyu smiled up at her new friend. Not scared at all, for she knew Shinn would never hurt her and was sweety. she would never make this Pokemon scare people.. Well his size would do that anyway. " Shinn!! Pick me up and put me on your shoulder so I can look around!." Otsuyu called. Shinn looked down at his small trainer and nodded, he bent down and held out his huge hand and Otsuyu jumped on. carefully Shinn stood up and placed Otsuyu on his shoulder, Otsuyu then hugged Shinn and giggled. "" Thank you Shinn~ I love you so much!." Otsuyu said with a smile and Shinn blushed but he was happy to hear those words. Otsuyu then started to look around. Yep she could he lots of things including the Forest castle, well thats one place she was not planning to visit. [/scrolly] [bg=776fa1]

"Sheryl....I want to go out more..." Rosa mumbled quietly feeling impatient for the days that she would be able to leave the castle without having anyone with her. she did that sometimes, but each time she returned home, Felis would get upset, and Rosa felt herself upset when he was. Because of this, she'd tried her best to limit her dealings away from home. However, that didn't help anything when a large world, and even just a large forest, was beyond those gates. The Gengar sighed quietly floating just beside Rosa. She understood the child's heart and wants, but there was nothing she could truly do about it that would help the young girl's situation. Suddenly a rather interesting look came into Rosa's eyes. Green spheres shifted from one side to the other and then forwards again. No one was directly looking at her save for Sheryl... Maybe she could sneak out! She wouldn't go far, maybe just past Serenity Gardens but no farther, right? Looking at Sheryl, Rosa grinned before suddenly starting down the steps of her house and towards the front gates. Sheryl looked surprised but followed after Rosa quickly. Just as she was about to get to the gates, a voice hit Rosa's ears. Going somewhere, Rosalba? Ion's soothing voice asked in its general calm way. Rosa looked sideways only to see Ion walking towards her. The young girl beamed and quickly jogged over. "Ion! We're gonna go play in the forest... want to come?" Rosa asked beaming at Ion who hesitated for a brief moment. The Lucario knew that it would worry Rosa's brother if she got too far, but he didn't like to deny the girl of anything. Her pure and somewhat adventurous heart was what made him love Rosa. I see.... the Lucario started. Alright... I will come with you... he finished before taking Rosa slowly by the hand and starting to walk out of the forest castle gates into the surrounding area. They walked for a bit, though they did walk slow, so they still weren't that far. However, upon coming into range, Ion's ears twitched, and his aura detecting sense organs stood on end. His hand tensed slightly causing Rosa to tense as well. "Wha-..." Rosa started, but Ion quickly brought a paw to his mouth and then quickly pulled Rosa behind a tree. Had whatever was there seen them? She wasn't sure. Sheryl, who had happened to have taken into Rosa's shadow quite literally, had pulled out of it quickly when they had moved into hiding. Looking around, she looked towards Ion and then up into the air. She didn't see anything, but she could feel something and assumed that was what Ion was sensing to a greater extent. [/scrolly]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Otsuyu and Shinn had not taken notice of Rosa and the pokemon that where with her. Otsuyu was to busy and to high up to really notice anyway. And Shinn was making sure his cute new little trainer would not fall off as she looked around. After a few minutes Otsuyu let out a sigh. " Well Shinn, the only thing close to us is that castle and what looks like a garden.. But I don't feel like picking flowers right now.. Ok help me down." Otsuyu asked, Shinn nodded " Gol" He said and held up his hand and Otsuyu jumped on again and slowly set Otsuyu down, Otsuyu smiled and looked up at Shinn, " Well seeing as no one is around lets just take a walk. We will end somewhere at some point." Oysuyu said with a smile and started to walk. Shinn just nodded and carefully started to walk making sure to watch where he was going so not to hurt Otsuyu.

Sheryl, meanwhile was beginning to slide through the shadows looking around for whatever Ion had sensed. When she caught sight of Otsuyu from afar, the Gengar mumbled something quietly to herself before racing back towards Ion and Rosa. Who is it? Ion asked telepathically to Sheryl who stared for a moment before realizing what had been said. <It just appears to be a girl with a Golurk...> she answered back. "A girl? We should go say hi!" Rosa chimed suddenly making to move around from behind the tree. Ion made to snag her but failed. Upon coming out into view, Rosa raised a hand and beamed towards the white haired girl. "Hi!" she called innocently. Ion mentally sighed but slowly smiled. Rosa was innocent with everything wasn't she? Sheryl was on edge but remained hidden then in case she had to leap out and attack if this person proved threatening to her Rosa. [/scrolly]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Upon hearing a voice Otsuyu stopped and frowned a little, great there was someone here after all.... Most likely someone from that castle... Shinn stopped and slowly turned around to look at the new comers. After a few minutes Otsuyu turned around and at first she was frowning a little and was somewhat glaring at Rosa, that was until she saw the ghost type with her. Otsuyu's face softened but it was still clear she did not want Rosa here and did not trust her. "Who are you and what do want human.." Otsuyu said in a harsh tone. Even though she had a ghost type with her, Otsuyu did not know this girl. For all she knew she could be just like any other human. [/scrolly] [bg=776fa1]

'Please calm down' he stated in his general calm voice. Sheryl, who was quicker to jump to conclusions, was suddenly leering at the white haired girl. She didn't honestly care if the girl had a ghost pokemon. Anyone who had such a threatening tone to Rosa would be attacked no iffs ands or buts. Rosa, meanwhile, looked a little surprised by Otsuyu's words. For a brief moment, a flicker of unease came to her visage, yet in another moment, this was swept away by her light demeanor. "....Wanna play?" she offered after a moment smiling with ease. "My name's Rosa! What's yours?" She wouldn't let the girl's words hurt her or worry her. It was probably some sort of misunderstanding or something! This blatant optimism was a good portion of Rosa. [/scrolly]

[Baroness Charmissey]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Otsuyu jumped a little when she hard a voice in her head, she was not used to pokemon useing telepathy to speak into her mind. She took a few steps back till she bumped into Shinn's foot. Otsuyu then shook her head as if to shake away the shock she was feeling. Otsuyu then looked at Ion, the expression on his face told her it was him that told her to calm down. Then Otsuyu noticed the Gangar leering at her. Well someone was not happy with her. But then again no one ever was... When Rosa spoke and asked if she wanted to play, Otsuyu blinked like she had never heard that word before. No one had ever asked her play.. And she was just mean to this girl right? Otsuyu just did not get it. Though not wanting to give Rosa's pokemon a reason to attack, Otsuyu sighed and crossed her arms. And frowned a little as she looked at Rosa. " Otsuyu..... My name is Otsuyu... And why would I want to play with you?" Otsuyu asked in a less mean tone but till mean none the less. [/scrolly] [bg=776fa1]

Rosa repeated as she tried to commit the name to memory. It was a far different name from those that she usually heard, and because of this, she would probably remember it better. At the question as to why she would want to play with her, Rosa blinked for a brief moment before offering a large smile. "Why no? We can play tag or maybe climb trees with Ion's help or maybe go home and play with some dollies or something!" she beamed still not allowing herself to worry about Otsuyu's hard words. It just wasn't in Rosa to be harsh. Ion mentally sighed glad to see that there was no full threat at least. Looking towards the ghost pokemon, he stared for a brief moment before nodding his head in a greeting. Sheryl relaxed a bit as well. Alright... it was just a bit of tension. [/scrolly]

[Baroness Charmissey]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Otsuyu again blinked in shock, well it seemed like this girl did not fear her or Shinn... And she did have a ghost pokemon with her.Though that alone would not make Otsuyu like Rosa let alone like her. And Playing with dolls was not on her things she liked to do list. But she may be willing to play with Rosa if she did not hate her friands. "Sorry but I don't play with dolls... But I might play with you IF you like my friends. You see all my friends are ghosts and a bug. If you wan't to play with me, you have to play with them too. If not I'm leaving." Otsuyu said. Yeah she was being rude but Otsuyu did not care. In her world being nice got her no where and most if not all the time back stabbed by people. That's one of the main reasons Otsuyu was so cold to people. When Ion nodded in greeting, Shinn nodded back. Though other then that he did not move. [/scrolly] [bg=776fa1]

"Oh! Like Sheryl!" she said suddenly making a motion to the Gengar who sweat dropped slightly before nodding her head a bit and making a somewhat mandatory wave at the girl. "And Emmy! She's my uh... what do ya call it...uh... Frillish! She's so pretty And Orion and Sandra are so nice... Ori's a Cofa---cofa--Cofagrigus!" Rosa stopped a moment to take in a breath. The pronunciation was hard for her but she got it. "And Sandra's a Mismageus ...Oh! And Chester's a Gengar like Sheryl! And Sou is a ... uh... Spritomb!" she grinned naming all those that came off the top of her head. "They're all my friends, and I met them this one time when I was in this really dark Grove place. It was cool." she finished. [/scrolly]

[Baroness Charmissey]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Otsuyu wall but derailed at Rosa's likeness for ghosts. It was not very often she ran into someone who did not fear them. So the young girl could not help but gawk at Rosa for a few minutes, until she was able to regain her composure. When Sheryl waves, Otsuyu smiled and waved back. Otsuyu then looked back at Rosa with a softer expression. " You have been to the grove huh? Yeah it is a cool place... I live near there and play there all the time. So... Would you like me to meet my friends?" Otsuyu asked though she had the feeling the answer would be yes. [/scrolly] [bg=776fa1]

"Of course!" she answered back with a nod of her noggin. Ion softened a bit more and stood more at ease now though he was still very attentive. Though ghost types weren't his favorite thing in the world, Ion could tolerate nearly all pokemon. That was simply the way he was. It was good though, to see this girl being a bit more friendly now. Maybe he had just overreacted or assumed things would go sour... which was also understandable considering that he didn't know the young girl, and that they were outside of the castle. [/scrolly]

[Baroness Charmissey]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Otsuyu smiled and took out the rest of her pokeballs. Though before calling then out Otsuyu looked at Rosa's outfit and saw it was pink. A sweat drop formed at the side of her head. She had to warn Rosa of Kurose. " Just so you know I have a Dusknor I call Kurose, and ah he loves the color pink... And he may fawn all over you...Just thought I should give you a heads up.." Otsuyu said so Rosa and her pokemon would not be caught of guard. Then Otsuyu held up her pokeballs and cried out, " Come on out everyone!" With flashes of light, out came Maggie, the Mismagius. Ghen, the gastly. Akora, the Zorua. Kurose, the Dusktnor, And Zhou, the Spinarak. Maggie was the first to say something. She looked at little Rosa smiled and gave a bow. " Hello little one, my name is Maggie." Ghen moved closer to Rosa and looked at her for a few minutes before giving her a link on the cheek. ( Not an attack, like if a puppy liked you lol) At that Otsuyu face pulmed and shook her head. " Hello! I'm Ghen~" Gastly said with a smile. Akora blinked and looked around, her eyes then fell on Rosa and the pokemon with her. At first Akora growled a little thinking it was a battle or something. When she looked over at Otsuyu, the young girl shook her head. Aww no battle? Akora hung her head and sighed, but then looked back up at Rosa, "Zorua!" The little dark type barked in greeting. Zhou stood where he was not really careing about Rosa or her pokemon, so the little bug crawled back over to Otsuyu. climbed up on her and rested himself on her head. This made Otsuyu giggle a little. Kurose looked at Rosa and a huge smile came to his face. What a cutie! AND she was wearing pink!! Kurose then moved over closer to Rosa and started to admire her outfit. Dusknor dusk!" the ghost said happily. [/scrolly] [bg=776fa1]

A dusknoir who... liked pink? That was cool! Rosa's eye nearly sparkled. "My favorite color is pink!" she beamed back clapping her hands together lightly. Ion, meanwhile, blinked and mentally sweat dropped. A Dusknoir that liked pink? That was a little... different? Oh well. Sheryl, meanwhile, found her head turning slightly at the sheer thought of this Dusknoir. It seemed... interesting. As the pokemon were released from their balls, Rosa couldn't decide where to look first. Her head simply kept jutting from one side to another as she took in the information. As Maggie spoke, Rosa beamed and nodded her head. "My name is Rosa!" she smiled back and was about to say a sort of 'nice to meet you' when she was licked on the cheek rather surprisngly. Blinking Rosa's eyes shifted to the gaseous pokemon before a quiet giggle escaped her. "Chester used to do that," she giggled. Ion's ears perked a bit when Akora seemed to go on the defensive, and his ears twitched slightly as he took a step closer to Rosa. However, when the situation defused itself, he sighed slightly again. As the Dusknoir appeared and began to fawn over her, Rosa broke into a fit of giggles. "I like pink too! It's my favorite color! This is one of my princess dresses~" she beamed proudly. Sheryl had tensed just a little even with the warning but relaxed again when it seemed no immediate harm was coming to Rosa. [/scrolly]

[Baroness Charmissey]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Otsuyu watched as Rosa looked at her pokemon. Part of her was happy that Rosa did not run off screaming like most other kids her age did. Heck even some grown ups screamed like little girls and ran off. The other part of Otsuyu was dumb founded at Rosa, she was not used to people being so accepting of her. Otsuyu's expression became even softer as she started to truely smile. Maggie looked at Otsuyu and noticed this. Maggie smiled and then looked back at little Rosa. Maybe just maybe this child besides Damien could become Otsuyu's friend. Ghen chuckled a little at Rosa, he liked this kid. He then moved back over to his trainer and flouted next to her. Akora then walked over to Rosa and started to sniff her, decided Rosa was a good person she wagged her tail and rolled over on her back. "Zor!" she barked happily. Kurose's eye started to sparkle as he fawned over Rosa, she was just so cute!! But not as cute as his trainer of course though he did wish Otsuyu was more into pink. Dusknoir dusk! <3 Kurose then started to admire Rosa's dress, then a idea came to him. Kurose looked at Rosa then back at Otsuyu and back at Rosa again. It would be soo cute to see Otsuyu in pink! Dusknoir dusk dusk dusknoir" " Do you have any pink dresses you would be willing to share with Otsuyu??" the elder ghost pokemon asked. Maggie sweat dropped and shook her head. At that Otsuyu knew Kurose asked something silly. " Kurose...." Otsuyu said in a annoyed tone. But all Kurose did was smile back at her. [/scrolly] [bg=776fa1]

"So soft," she mumbled softly to herself. However, she didn't get time to say much more when the Dusknoir began to speak. Looking back up, Rosa turned her head to one side. "Hu?" was the question. Ion, who would never admit to being jealous of the Zorua for getting pets instead of him, turned his head slowly to one side before starting to project a translation of sorts. Upon understanding, Rosa perked up and looked at the other girl with a rather large smile. "If we go back to my castle~ We can get you a super cute dress!" she beamed earnestly. Sheryl smiled softly and shook her head. Rosa was something else, but she loved her trainer for it. [/scrolly]

[Baroness Charmissey]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Otsuyu's eyes grew wide a little when Rosa said they could get a dress for her back at her castle. Otsuyu then shot a angry glare at Kurose. But the Ghost pokemon gave the puppy look right back and clasped his hands together in a bagging manner. That made Otsuyu melt. How could she say no to such a cute ghost pokemon? Otsuyu then gave a weak smile then looked over at Rosa. " Ok, Only for Kurose.. And this is the last time to..." Otsuyu said looking at her ghost when she said the last part. A huge smile came to Kurose's face and he rushed forward and hugged his trainer. " Dusknor!! The ghost cried out happily. Otsuyu laughed when Kurose hugged her. Kurose then let go of Otsuyu and smiled at her happily. Otsuyu then returned all her pokemon but Kurose and Akora. Otsuyu then looked at Rosa and then the castle in the background. So thats where Rosa lived? A castle like those stories her Mother once read to her.. "Ok, lead the way.." Otsuyu said. Akora barked happily when Rosa petted her and called her soft, she then stood back up and jumped into Otsuyu's arms. [/scrolly] [bg=776fa1]

Ion sweat dropped slightly but simply nodded his head and stepped sideways waiting for Rosa to walk along side him before proceeding. Sheryl simply shifted into the shadows and began to move through them back towards the castle. Well this had been a short trip out, but there seemed to be more fun coming with this new friend! Or at least Rosa thought so. Looking back even as she walked forwards now, Rosa flashed a smile. "So where are you from?" she asked with a slight grin. [/scrolly]

[Baroness Charmissey]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Otsuyu started to follow Rosa when she started to walk. and watched as Sheryl started to move with in the shadows. That made Otsuyu smile, she loved how ghosts could move like that. No one would be able to hear a ghost coming up on them.. Thats one major thing that made ghost pokemon so scary... Otsuyu loved that so much.. It was such a fun way to get back at those jerks who dared pick on her. At the thought of those pranks she pulled a smile came to Otsuyu's face. pulling pranks on the jerks was so fun it become a past time for Otsuyu, though she had no real desire to scare Rosa though... She seemed nice and oddly did not fear her like most people do when they see her with ghost pokemon. When Rosa asked where she lived, Otsuyu blinked and looked at her. " I live near the haunted grove." Otsuyu said as if it was normal to live near such a scary place. [/scrolly] [bg=776fa1]
