Surely they'd come across a decent-looking building soon. Surely not every building in the slums looked like either it would collapse if she touched the door or she'd get gangraped for stepping close. ...Over a minute later, Kali began lowering her standards. Surely they'd come across anything that even mildly looked like a business? ..Even a really really shady business? ...A port-a-potty on the side of the street? ....Arceus damn it all, all this walking was doing nothing for helping her hold it. .... Kali finally huffed a heavy- if probably really random from Kelsy's perspective- sigh. She'd been homeless for a few short months once (not counting when an orphanage was 'home', but she couldn't much remember that anyway). As snooty proud as she was, she could certainly humble herself if the need was urgent enough... Her eye twitched a bit as she looked at Kel. She needed to get far enough away from him, but not so-... She wanted to make sure he couldn't hear her pee, but could hear her if she screamed. All right, looking, looking.... ah! Spying an alley with two dumpsters rather far down the way and no people as far as she could tell (she really hoped no one was already hiding between them), she gave up her hopes of finding anything better reasonably soon. No one should be able to see her from either side of the alley and she'd just take a second, dammit. "Hey!" She suddenly spun to her companion and forced a.. did that count as a smile? If she'd been any jumpier, she'd be off the ground completely. "Hang on for just a second, I'll be right--" .... Hm. As she'd started to back a step in that direct, her hand idly touched at the strap of her purse; she still wasn't used to carrying it, really. But that made her think.. <_<; She really didn't want another incident with Pokemon thieves.. or regular thieves for that matter. She had her new Scolipede (who she needed to name, ugh; after so many she'd caught, it was getting harder and harder to name them quickly) in her pocket, and most of the Pokemon in her bag were fainted.. Yup. She laughed uneasily. "Actually... Hold this a second, will you?" :'3 Removing her purse, she practically shoved it in his hands. "Guard it with your life. ...Well.. not.. literally, I probably shouldn't say that in this neighborhood, but guard it with everything short of your life." This laugh was both even more nervous and more genuine. "And don't follow me.. unless you hear me scream for help or something.. heh.. Kay? Kay. I'll be right back." What no she wasn't rambling rapidly she-- okay she was and now she was done and only barely forced herself to keep her pace to a brisk walk instead of a run as she headed down the alley.

In the alley where Kali had entered was a rather...odd sight to say the least. A Cascoon and a Leucistic Kakuna were resting against each other leering all the while at the Meowth that seemed so intent on trying to play with them. They had been continuously using Harden for quite some time now but that could only go so far.... The Kakuna would probably have put a beat down on the Meowth by now if she had legs and...damnit why couldn't she evolve already. The Cascoon could tell that the Kakuna was losing patience with the Meowth and was trying his best to calm her but his words were hardly having any effect. He was just as annoyed with the Meowth as she was though so....

The Meowth was having fun playing with his two new 'toys', unaware that they were actually rather angry Pokemon. They were pretty and smelled nice though the eyes they had were kinda creepy and angry looking... :BBB Oh well~ she'd just take them home and play with them some more! =^o^=

Meanwhile a Duosion (who had admittedly been stalking following Kali for quite some time) finally decided to show himself to the pretty silver-haired lady. She was just so pretty and and.... no.... he couldn't... >8U but he couldn't give up now! Oh hey look she left the man ^o^ perfect~! Finally gathering the courage to show himself he floated next to Kali and waved...probably a bit more nervously than he had intended but hey he had at least said hi~.

[KARP KARP!]

Kel blinked when she went to leave, and he had to fight back a smile when told to hold her purse. This was TOO easy. "No problem. Guard it and come running if you scream. Gotcha." The man watched her go, his grey eyes following her every move. Oh this was IMPOSSIBLE to screw up. He HAD this.

When she was out of sight, Kel made his move, rummaging through the purse. The first thing he did was pull out a wad of cash, then did a double take at how much he was holding. "Holy fucking shit.... Quickly, he crammed that in his back pocket.

Oh he was living large tonight, all right. Then he swiped Stormy's and Siavush's Pokeballs, just to leave the message that no one screws with Kelsinn Bartholomew Jaegar. That and those two kicked ass. For the heck of it, he also took all of her makeup--all of it--putting it in his bag. Why? Insult to injury. Just to make things even worse for her.

He continued rummaging, stopping at one more thing. Would he REALLY go that far? ...Yes. Yes he would. Then, once he claimed all that he wanted, he took off at a full run, dropping what was left of the purse. After going maybe fifty feet, he stopped, slipping into an alley and leaning against a wall and holding his knee, panting.

"I'm gettin' too old for this shit..."

Of course, Kali already had two at home, and one of those was Shiny. She had no interest in this rambunctious little-- "Ip!" Kali let out a small squeak and jumped as the Duosion appeared. ... T_T Oh great. Well it wasn't a Reuniclus, but of course the next-best thing would appear when she had no empty PokeBalls. And dammit she didn't even have time to deal with it but she wanted it and... Sighing through her nose and gritting her teeth slightly, Kali pushed on past the Pokemon to confirm the spot between the dumpsters was empty. ...Annnd that Duosion was still there wasn't it. Well, this could work out. Forcing a sweet smile, she asked, "Hi there.. Would you be a dear and go wait for a minute? ...Over there?" As she glanced over, she-- What was that Meowth playing with? ....Dammit that was an Albino Pokemon was-... no? Right its shell would be a little more beige if albino wouldn't it? Or... The fuck ever it was either Albino or Leucistic and also a Bug and... if it was male she could breed it with Kjaer and if it was female she could breed it with Whatshisname. Yeah she really wanted that. =3= ... :'3 Oh that'd work. Feigning a gasp, she looked more directly do the trio. "Duosion, look! Those poor things. Would you go make that Meowth stop hurting them?"

The Duosion looked disappointed when the pretty girl asked him to wait D8 but but he hadn't done anything wrong and just D''x He knew he should've just stayed hidden orz. The Duosion was about to go away when the girl spoke up again, bringing the Duosion rushing back to her side, eager to please. Upon hearing the pretty lady's request, the Duosion saluted, nodding eagerly before going over to where the Meowth was still pawing at the Cascoon and Kakuna. Using a Psychic, the Duosion lifted up the Meowth and set her away from the duo before floating down in front of her. <"That's enough! Those aren't your toys they're Pokemon!">the Duosion scolded much to the surprise of the Meowth.

<"You mean...they aren't pretty toys...?">the Meowth asked, blinking innocently causing the Duosion to sweatdrop profusely.

<"Yes.......they aren't toys...now go apologize...">the Duosion explained before the Meowth nodded and padded over to the Cascoon and Kakuna who had been leering at her all the while.

Upon reaching the Cascoon and Kakuna, the Meowth blinked....what had she been about to do.... OH! That's right, say she was so-... == they were so pretty and... shaking her head, the Meowth meowed a quiet 'sorry' and tried to ignore the urge to bat at them again.

The Cascoon and Kakuna seemed surprised when the Meowth apologized but nodded (as best as they could without falling over) ... as long as she didn't start pawing at them again they were fine.

Seeing the Meowth apologize, the Duosion smiled and looked over at where the pretty lady had been, wondering if she would be pleased with him. He had stopped the Meowth from pawing at- o.o she was doing it again.... Sighing, the Duosion lifted the Meowth up with Psychic again... how did he get stuck with babysitting this Meowth in the first place... Oh! That's right, because the pretty lady asked him to~ ^\\\^

Of course this entire situation was terribly embarrassing, but dammit she knew she'd cared a lot less thirty seconds ago, and kept telling herself there was certainly no sense in starting to care too much now. <_< She could just imagine how many hobos peed on these walls anyway. .. e_e Oh God she'd touched said wall for balance when she stood back up; she needed to wash her hands asap now.. Shuddering, she thought there were probably some wipes/towelettes/something buried in her bag, and decided she'd get those in just a moment. For now, once she'd gotten her clothes all looking proper again, she moved over to the Duosion and the others. Glancing down the alley, she didn't see Kelsy, but thought little of it; the idea that he was just leaning on the wall next to the alley entrance or the like was such a powerful assumption it didn't even require conscious thought. "Thank you sweetie~" she said to the Duosion. Kneeling down, she gave the pupas- particularly the Kakuna- a sympathetic look. "Poor things... Does this kind of thing happen often?" At the word 'thing', her eyes trailed to the Meowth. She sighed. "It's too bad you don't have a nice safe clean place to live until you evolve..." In the same ploy she'd done literally dozens of times, her eyes brightened as she 'had an idea'. "..unless! ^w^ How would you like to come home with me? There are lots of Pokemon running around my home, but it's really big and most of them are well-behaved or can be put away if they aren't~ You could probably find a nice quiet room all to yourself--ves." Eh. She guessed she'd take the Cascoon if it wanted to come. She had a Beautifly and two Wurmpinch, but a Dustox would be... okay. If nothing else she could Shadow and sell it some time, if it didn't prove useful in some other way. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]

[Maid Melody]

The Duosion beamed and uttered a happy Duo!, all the while making sure to keep the Meowth (who was flailing in her attempts to get to the 'toys' again) away from the Cascoon and Kakuna. He was glad she was pleased and ^\\\\^

The Cascoon and Kakuna looked at Kali as she spoke to them and nodded. The Kakuna in particular seemed to be begging Kali to take her where it was clean. She hated how all this dirt and grime made her so dirty and she couldn't even clean herself and and D'x The Cascoon's eyes brightened at the description of Kali's home and probably would have jumped up and down if the Kakuna hadn't been leaning against him.

We'll have all kinds of fun together~" Clapping her hands together, she popped back to her feet and smiled at the Duosion. "Thanks so much for your help~" If it was this compliant for everything, she had a feeling it'd come back with her too. "Just let me get my PokeBalls~" She spun and trotted bouncily back to where she'd left Kel-- What was that on the ground? ... That was her purse. She doubletook and looked every which way for Kelsy; no sign. Kali's jaw dropped. ....What. After some twenty or thirty seconds just taking it in, she finally rushed the short distance remaining to gather up her purse and what contents had fallen out when it had been apparently-discarded. Brow furrowed, she checked first in the side slot where she kept her money; of course it was gone. In the bottom was a few bills that had been rolled/flattened together and tossed in, but all the rest had been snatched. "That bastard." She... wasn't even angry or upset so much as hurt/betrayed and in disbelief. It looked like he'd just grabbed the cash and run as quick as he could. =_= Well, better that than her whole purse. ...Was that all he'd taken? Recalling the fear when she realized the Gothitelle had her Pokemon, she quickly glanced in that pouch.. and sighed in relief. All she saw was that there were, in fact, still PokeBalls: over three dozen including the empty ones she carried. At a glance, she saw through the semi-transparent tops that a few had something inside, and just assumed they were all there. She went ahead and grabbed three empty balls while she was here, and that pouch was put out of her mind for now. It would be some time before she realized just what had happened. A quick inventory was taken of her other contents, and-- Really? Her makeup?? ;-; Arceus this bastard was-... She huffed, but rolled her eyes and tried to just grit and bear it. So he apparently had some major issues. Whatever, she could afford more... as soon as she got paid again. =3= It'd be a few weeks, and she'd have to try to avoid Leon finding out about this, but she'd manage... SIGH... Well.. everything else seemed to be in order. All right.. Okay... That was still good, and that.. this.. Was that everything? Uh... This and this, and.... ......................What. Wh-..... WHAT? Kali rummaged through the whole bag twice more to confirm, and still she was certain she'd just missed it. ".......WHY WOULD HE TAKE MY TAMPONS?" Resisting the urge to just flop and flail on the floor in her annoyance and frustration, Kali told herself again that it was nothing she couldn't replace and forced herself to stay (relatively) calm. Bastard, bastard, bastard... sigh. Well, she was definitely learning her lesson about trusting random men she met in dark alleyways.. =_= Tucking everything away, she picked up her purse and turned back to the Pokemon, looking rather more weary. "S..sorry about that... Here, sorry." Coming closer, she offered both coccoons PokeBalls with one hand. "..You want one, Duosion?" she asked, glancing over her shoulder and holding up the last ball with her other hand. [/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]

The Duosion raised both hands in a cheer of sorts, obviously delighted at the thought of accompanying the pretty lady. At Kali's thanks, the Duosion beamed ^\\\^ why of course~ he as more than happy to help~. Waving as Kali left with a short, happy cry and hummed a happy tune while waiting for Kali to return. This was good~ ^_^ ... >>; now if only this Meowth would stop flailing it would make things so much easier. When Kali suddenly yelled from the other alley the Duosion nearly dropped the Meowth who yowled in complaint and flailed all the more. o.o;;;; Who had...that was...wait what? Confused, the Duosion tilted his head and blinked when she apologized before shaking his head and watching as she held out the pokeballs to the Cascoon and Kakuna. Oh....she didn't want... o.o 8DDDDD Nodding fervently, the Duosion didn't hesitate before pressing the button and disappearing inside the ball, completely forgetting the still Psychic held Meowth who landed with a THUMP on the ground and hissed at the pokeball Kali was holding before running away. No toy was worth being held hostage!!!! The pokeball in Kali's hand didn't even shake once before a DING was heard indicating that the ever eager Duosion had been captured.


Name: (You Choose)
Species: Duosion
Gender: Male
Ability: Magic Guard
Personality: This Duosion is ever eager to please and follows Kali around almost like a lost puppy dog. He absolutely [i]adores[/i] her and will do whatever she asks without hesitation and admittedly has a crush on her. As such he is rather jealous of her attention and tries to claim [i]all[/i] of her attention. Who CARES if she has a fiance...he WILL win her over darnit.  This being said he can't stand it when his precious Kali is around other men and will leer at them until they go away or express disinterest in her. Of course Kali can do no wrong whatsoever and if she says that they're all right then he'll listen...until they start claiming too much of her attention that is.


The Cascoon and Kakuna watched as Kali left to get her pokeballs and waited, leering at the still flailing Meowth all the while. The sooner they were out of here the better. When Kali yelled from the other alley, both pokemon blinked simultaneously at the sudden outburst....what... Hearing the apology, the duo simply blinked before leaning forward to press the button on each of the pokeballs and disappearing simultaneously. The balls shook a couple of times before the pokeballs rang out indicating that both cacoon Pokemon had been caught.


Name: (You Choose)
Species: Cascoon
Gender: Male
Ability: Shed Skin
Personality: Quiet and observant, this Cascoon prefers to stay out of battles rather than participate in them especially in his current stage of evolution. He dreams of flying and can't wait until the day that he evolves because then he'll get to soar with [i]her[/i]. This Cascoon clearly adores the Kakuna he was found with and doesn't like to be separated from her for any given length of time. As a result of what happened when he was found, he can't stand Meowth and will attack on sight...if he was able to do so.



Name: (You Choose)
Species: Leucistic Kakuna
Gender: Female
Ability: Shed Skin
Personality: This Kakuna absolutely hates being dirty in any way shape or form. She's far from being snooty about it but there is something about dirt that just...makes her insane. If she even has so much of a speck of dirt on her she will throw a fit until said speck is gone. Strong-willed and determined, she would never say no to a battle...given that she could actually [i]do[/i] something. As a result she is counting down the days until she evolves and can fly above any dirt, germs and everything and can actually [i]ATTACK[/i] something, [i]especially[/i] Meowth.

Cool.. Now she'd just give it a second for them to be ported back to the lab. ...Hm? ..That was really odd. Only one was sent? She'd never seen lag like that, but.... After about a minute of just standing there, however, the Balls didn't move. ......... Kali's pace began to quicken. Did the system glitch and take two of her other Pokemon? ...That... that had to be it. ...Surely they hadn't rolled out when her purse was dropped? They'd need to be much further than that to not be counted as being on her person. All the same, she gathered up the new Pokemon and went back to the alley entrance to begin digging around, searching any little crack or crevice. No sign.. ...Well that was good, right? She'd just find the nearest Pokemon Center and check her PC; she was sure her missing Pokemon would show up safe and sound. The system just glitched. It didn't matter if it had never happened before; machines made mistakes too, right? Shit happened and that's all it was. She definitely didn't want to spend another minute in this hellhole, though, and dug through for-- oh God she prayed the missing ones weren't both Kjaer and Reyna, that would make transportation suck. To her relief, both were still there. ...To her horror, especially after patting her pocket to confirm Scolipede was still there, that meant the two missing had to be even worse. Nibbler, Sia, or Stormy...? ...Nibbler. Nibbler was still with her. ;-; Which meant... her..... It suddenly hit Kali hard that Stormy had never been in the PC, ever. She'd never been further away from her than across the house or lab. Not once, not since she got her as a kid. If she ever needed overnight care for medical reasons, Kali insisted on sleeping in the lobby or having a doctor come to them. OKAY Kali calm down. She was fine. She could live five minutes without her Electivire. She was a Pokemon. A great friend and protector, too, but a Pokemon, not oxygen. Not a security blanket. Kali was fine. She'd go right now and confirm her bab-friend was perfectly fine. Sending out Kjaer, she mounted and headed (with a bit of urgency) to a better part of town, keeping an eye out for any extra red roofs she wasn't aware of before.

Kel continued his heavy breathing and working his hurt knee. After several moments, it dawned on him that he should get on his way. So, the man began a rather triumphant limp out of the slums. It'd been a day, and his luck seemed to have turned around. So he figured the best thing to do now would be to go to a bar and try his luck...elsewhere.
