"All right then. It's been nice sparring with you~ I'll see you around, mmkay?" She gave him a wink, and then she spun and was off. Kali didn't quite skip down the alley, but there was certainly a certain bounce to her step. This was really turning into a pretty good day. As she thought on it, she decided she could take the scenic route and just hunt a little on her way back to the better part of town. That way she'd get in a little and still wouldn't waste too much time. Yeah.. This would totally work~ ... x'3;; Even if her Pokemon were kind of weak now, heh. Well she still had a Revive or two if she wasn't mistaken; she could use that if needed and otherwise she'd just stop by a center soon-ish. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]

As if the heavens were just trying to defy her request Kali soon found herself face to face with a Dustox that fluttered about a couple of inches away from her. It simply floated there in her path with no intention of going anywhere and just narrowed it's eye sockets at her. It seemed the this was some sort of ploy as near the Dustox on the right and left side of the alley she was walking in sounds could be heard if one listened carefully enough. However that would be tough with the Dustox in her path.

Some part of her shuddered slightly; she'd developed a bit of a distaste for moths after that one stole her ring in the Runic Glade that time. =3= Bitch was such a pain to track down. But it wasn't too bad and had been a long time ago, so she just decided to wait for this one to move. .....And she waited.. and waited... and... Kali sighed. Resisting the urge to just Fire Blast it out of the way, she first smiled at the Dustox. "Excuse me~ Could you please move?" [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]

The Dustox smirked towards Kali as suddenly without warning he multiplied into multiple Dustox's with the use of Double Team. He then while Kail was distracted began to circle her while laughing to himself and not doing anything but being bothersome. However further down the way a hand could be seen that moved out from behind a wall and waved in a flowing motion which suddenly caused Kali's purse to fly out of her arms and through the Dustox's. As soon as it was taken what revealed itself to be a Gothiettle began to float away down the alley and the Dustox began to follow. They had pulled it off!

[KARP KARP!]

Kel had stalked Kali down the alleyway; and watched, waiting for his move. When all of a sudden, he saw Pokemon making off with HIS haul. "......Sonofa...." he muttered to himself. It was official, his life sucked.

[atrb=style,height:265;width:221;border:0 black none;color:b7b7b7;][scrolly:h(265),w(221),sy,as(padding:4px;)]Kali flinched and dodged a bit as the Dustox circled her, sneering. All right, fuck being nice. For just a moment, she thought of seeing if she could just duck under 'them' and run (or even run through them), as it was really the sort of Pokemon she'd normally deem not worth her time. That moment cost her dearly, as before she knew it her purse had been snagged away and--"HEY!" Her eyes narrowed and a sharp gasp was inhaled as it dawned on her what had really just happened. OH, that was IT. She'd-- She... She'd WHAT? HER POKEBALLS WERE IN THAT PURSE.

[/b] She opened her mouth to call out for one, but the only ones that were really likely to pop out on their own at her voice were Nibbler and Stormy, both fainted; her mouth closed. Seeing no choice, Kali sprinted off after the creatures herself, throwing herself at the nearest one when she thought she was close enough; as she flew through the air, she let out a sharp piercing scream. Part of her hoped it would surprise the Pokemon and stun it just a moment; part of her hoped it might call for anyone to help (maybe Kel was still close or someone else might be back here, or maybe the shitty walls in these slums were thin enough to hear through if these buildings weren't abandoned, or anything). Most of her just screamed out of fear and frustration.

[VEGETA]

The Dustox and Gothielle nimbly dodged Kali's attempts to get her stuff back and began to move away faster. Without the use of her own pokemon it seemed to dastardly duo were going to get away!

However as the Dustox turned to taunt Kali suddenly it's face was greeted by the..familiar structure of something he had known to fear. He slowly turned around and saw himself face to face with a large, odd colored Scolipede which was massive in size. It was about 11 or 12 feet tall and simply gave a growl as the Gothielle seeing this two screeched to a halt and dropped the purse. The Scolipede looked from one..to the other..and then back to Kali before it proceeded to use a Megahorn and send the two thieves flying away in an albeit comical fashion.

Having taking care of those two it reached down and picked up Kali's purse before it began to walk over to her and bent down as to give it to her. Seems like there were nice pokemon in the town after all!

The sound of the Pokemon colliding got her attention just in time to see the duo go flying, and for all the situation, somehow the first thought in Kali's mind was: Dammit all there goes my Gothitelle. When the Scolipede bent down with her bag, however, she found herself surprised, grateful, and- honestly- torn. Part of her wanted to go chase down that surely-weakened Psychic, and bugs definitely were not typically her thing. She'd never even gotten around to training those Wurpinch she'd bred for her Beautiflygon and/or Flygustox. But between the Gothitelle who robbed her or the Scolipede who was her hero? Kali's tears welled harder as she pushed herself up, and after a moment she flung herself at the Scolipede to hug it briefly. Oh hey it was Poison that probably wasn't the best idea also she wasn't that sappy okay letting go now. Drying her tears quickly, she forced a cheesy grin. "Thanks so much." Taking her bag, she hesitated briefly, then decided it couldn't really hurt. ".......I... don't guess you'd maybe want to come home with me..? It'd give me a chance to reward you for helping me..~" Suddenly another thought occurred to her: Scolygon. Holy shit yesplz. She really hoped it was male (though catching a male Trapinch+ wouldn't really be hard either, she supposed). ...Did Scolipede have a visible gender difference? ...Eh, she couldn't remember at the moment. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]

The Scolipede had turned to leave having taken care of the two for the time being when he felt his midsection being grabbed. Turning his head around he saw the girl who's purse he had gotten back had hugged him and then let go giving him a Thank you. He quickly bowed and closed his eyes as if saying 'Don't mention it' and proceeded to turn and leave when posed with a different question.

He turned his full body around and listened to her request before thinking about it. Join her? But he had to make sure the Gothielle and Dustox didn't cause any trouble for people..although ever since being a Venipede he'd been curious to see what the outside world looked like..plus if it was his job to help people...what the heck! He gave a small little nod and retracted the poisonous quills on his body so she wouldn't get pricked by them. He saw no reason to keep them out if there was no immediate threat to the girl anyway.

[KARP KARP!]

Kel stayed in his hiding place, watching everything carefully. Okay, she got the purse back; that was good. But that Scolipede was going to be a nuisance to his plan...Or....would it? That's it! He didn't have to take the whole purse, just a Pokeball or two. Sticking to the shadows, hiding behind whatever he could find, he edged his way a closer, little by little; all the while making sure not to be seen and keeping an eye out for pokemon. Dammit if Lil'Bit hadn't have been KO'd this would have been so much easier...

Pulling her purse forward (and, unbeknownst to her, further from Kel), she fished an empty ball out of the side pouch, then offered it up to the Scolipede. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]
[atrb=style,height:22;border:0 black none;]

[Maid Melody]

The Scolipede looked at the pokeball for a moment, contemplating whether he really should press the button or not. On the one hand the Dustox and Gothitelle needed to be kept in line...but on the other hand he really did want to see more than just the streets in the city. After taking some time to decide, the Scolipede finally lowered his head and pressed the button on the pokeball before disappearing inside. The ball didn't even shake once before a DING was heard indicating that the Scolipede had been successfully captured.


Name: (You Choose)
Species: Scolipede
Gender: Male
Ability: Poison Point
Personality: Considerably aller than the average Scolipede (standing around 11 feet tall), he is all too aware of of intimidating he appears and uses this to his advantage. He enjoys helping people whenever given the chance and will generally go out of his way to do so if it is within his power to assist them. The one thing he cannot stand are bullies and will quite literally send them flying with a well placed Megahorn if they try his patience too much. An explorer at heart, this Scolipede has always wanted to travel the world and enjoys trying new things. When he sees something/somewhere new he almost acts like a little kid at Christmas at opportunity to explore and learn more about the world around him. If someone poses a challenge to him, he eagerly accepts no matter what said challenge may be. He treats such challenges and even battles almost like a game of chess and likes to try and stay two steps ahead of his opponent at all times.


With the Scolipede gone the street grew eerily quiet...it seemed there were no other Pokemon in the vicinity at the moment.

It wasn't the Pokemon she'd come for, nor even one she'd ever really thought to look for; about the only Scolipede she'd ever been interested in was Kaito's, and that was almost only because it was Shiny. But this one was just... seredipitous, she supposed. Heh. She was happy with him. But now she needed to get out of here. She felt a good deal better about walking down the streets now with a fully healthy (as well as very large and apparently powerful) Pokemon on her person, but if that little incident hadn't confirmed her suspicions that this place was a shithole she wasn't sure what would. She started to place the newly-filled Ball into her pouch, then thought better and slipped it in her pocket instead. Her pants were pretty tight (as usual), and keeping them all in there would be really uncomfortable even in their shrunken form, but just the one would be useful in case some jackass got the dumb idea to take her purse again. =3= She slung said purse back over her shoulder, then, and.. hesitated. Wow, it really was quiet. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]
[atrb=style,height:22;border:0 black none;]

[KARP KARP!]

It was quiet...and hell no it wasn't too quiet. In fact it was just quiet enough for Kel to attempt to work his magic. Everything had calmed down, and there were no Pokemon to get in his way. And better yet, her purse was just right for the pickings now. Although something to distract the woman would have been nice, too. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers.

Quietly as he could, Kel began to sneak over to Kali in an attempt to steal right out from under her nose. Oddly, this made him feel young again. He was making his way closer, but still nowhere near arm reach.

[Admiral Striker General]

She was just really twitchy, jumpy; she didn't like it. Shuddering, she picked up her pace a little. She wanted out of here. It was horrible and dank and depressing and scary and the smell was starting to get to her and dammit she kind of needed to pee now too and really doubted there was a half-sanitary bathroom (or even public one at all) for a while and what no she wasn't just looking for things to bitch abo-- whatwasthatnoise. Spinning on her heels, she half-expected to see some sort of horror slasher axe murderer, though her logical mind kept telling her it was probably a rat or cat or Pokemon or nothing; instead, Kali found herself starting at-- Blink. "Oh!" She gave a very weak chuckle of relief. "Hey again Kel. You going this way too?" [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]
[atrb=style,height:22;border:0 black none;]

[KARP KARP!]

Kel played it really casual when Kali noticed him, though he cursed himself mentally. And he almost froze when she called him Kel. But then he realized. Kel is short for Kelsy. Then he paled. Kelsy is short for Kelsinn. Sonofa-- Nono, keep calm. [/i]It's not the best fake name, but it's still not your real one.[/i]

"Heh. Seems like it," he said, forcing a small smile."Sorta got turned around; I usually don't find myself in places like this, so it's sorta...new to me," he said, only half lying. Okay, maybe I can still make this work...

This place is starting to creep me out, and the main Pokemon I was looking for just showed up and tried to rob me." This laugh was more uncomfortable. "..Yyyeah, I think I'll just raise a Gothita if I decide I need a Gothitelle that badly; I'm avoiding this side of town from now on." ... A thought occurred. .........Heeeh,, woops? She uh... She'd fainted all of his Pokemon, and even if he was a lot bigger and certainly at least somewhat stronger than her (she'd say quite a bit from the look of him, but then Kali was stronger than she looked; he could be weaker than he looked in the same regard).. this place wasn't really safe. :'3;; Yeah hey about that. 'Suddenly' having an idea (which she may have overplayed in her expression to emphasize it was definitely spontaneous and not from this thought process because she certainly wasn't hoping he wouldn't realize she probably went overboard on their battle), she smiled up at him. "Hey~ You should walk with me until we get out of these alleys, or as far as our paths align. We'll be safer together, nyeh? :3" Which.. you know.. mostly meant that she could protect him. But she supposed if they came across any thugs or shady characters, the two of them/Kelsy in general seemed a lot less inviting a target than just Kali by herself. ... Heh. She.. would honestly be lying if she said she didn't occasionally wish Leon were more 'big and strong' like this (even if she was quite glad he wasn't so big, heh.. :B It looked fine on Kelsy but.. yeah she did love being able to hold Leon so close and just..heeeee<3). ... |3 Of course, when not trying to repel thieves and rapists (to which he was probably as much a magnet as her really... xD;, she did muuuuch prefer Leon's oh-so-pretty(-if-incomplete) face~ ^w^ [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]
[atrb=style,height:22;border:0 black none;]

"Ya can say that again," Kel murmured. "Though itda been nice if Ida had my Aerodactyl with me. Sarai's about like yer Flygon; not really much fer battle, but she's a doll. And I seen ya get robbed, I just couldn't do anything about it, heh." He gave a sort of light--albeit forced--chuckle.

At the offer to walk together, Kel's smile became more genuine, and he nodded; their paths would align as long as it was convenient for him. She was practically handing him her valuables on a silver platter, and she had no idea. Well, assuming Kel could pull anything off. "Yeah, I'll be happy to walk with ya. Any Pokemon try to bother us, you can take care of 'em, and if any thugs come our way, I'll beat the shit out of 'em. I mighta packed on a few extra pounds the past several months, but I can still hold my own in a fight." Assuming whatever it was that made him kickass in a fight hadn't left him, too...God he needed a drink. And a few hot chicks and a bed...

Derp. She should have flown Kjaer right out of here from the start. Bahh. Well she'd been Pokemon-hunting.. and now she was walking with Kelsy. She'd feel bad if she was just like 'ohey lol I forgot I can fly see ya loser', heh.. x3;; And she wasn't sure how Kjaer would do carrying both.. She grinned a bit sheepishly when he mentioned not having been able to do anything (woops again), but relaxed more as it seemed they were on the same wavelength. ...A passing thought may have fluttered through her mind on the note of what he may have looked like a few months ago, but it was quickly (mostly) banished. "Heh, yeah. Sooner we get outta here the better, though." ...Come to think of it, Reyna could teleport, too.. but they didn't know these streets well enough to cover any reasonable ground without... yeh. They'd probably either have to go a long way, much farther than necessary, or short little within-line-of-sight bursts that would more wear the Pokemon out than provide any notable advantage in travel time. Yaw well. .... Damn she wished she could find a bathroom, though. They finally neared the mouth of one alley, but the 'street' it entered didn't really look like anything but a really wide one- garbage everywhere, and if one building wasn't abandoned it probably should have been. Ugh. Kali shuddered. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]
[atrb=style,height:22;border:0 black none;]

[KARP KARP!]

Kel walked slowly, eyes scanning the area. Oh dear GOD this place blew. Though it really didn't help much that he'd been here a few days now. Sleeping in cheap motels, eating crappy food...though the latter wasn't so bad if he had someone to screw. THAT justified being there...but oh well.

"Ain't that the truth..." He muttered, looking over at her. Part of him still wondered if he stood a chance, but the other thought he was washed up, anyway.
