Nero held the ball close to her form after it rang in capture and then watched as it slowly disappeared back to her gang hideout. Gavin smiled slowly and seemed to hum to himself. 'Maybe she'll like Mysty?' he suggested meaning the other Miss Mime that had decided to come with Nero. The dark haired woman slowly looked over and brought a finger to her chin in thought at this. After a moment, she nodded, and Gavin nodded in turn. Both took one another's hand and then seemed to start walking through the area again. Neither one payed much attention to the two pokemon that wee in the area.

[Unknown] ~ [Treecko - M] ~ [Unknown] A small Treecko was slowly making his way over to a tree, slipping on something smooth along the way. Once he finally got up the tree he stopped to watch Nero and her pokemon as they walked. In another tree, hidden by the thick brush, another set of eyes looked out, watching them human and her pokemon carefully.

The general prick of hairs on the back of Nero's neck was enough to cause the dark haired woman to stop walking. Turning her head behind herself and looking out to the brush and then up towards the Treecko. 'Something wrong?' Gavin questioned. Nero shook her head and said nothing. With that, both continued to walk.

[Unknown] ~ [Treecko - M] ~ [Unknown] The Treeko let out long sigh of relief as the woman passed him by. He quickly made his way back down the tree, slipping on something smooth and cold once again before running off. The creature hidden in the thick brush of the tree quickly moved, leaping from the tree to another as it followed Nero. A small flash of red could be seen as it jumped from one tree to the other. Nothing else seemed to be around.

As the hairs on the back of Nero's neck pricked up again, she stopped and turned around looking towards where the Treecko had slipped on something and then around the trees looking carefully. "Hello?" the dark haired woman asked with a careful and questioning voice. Gavin's form seemed to tense as he turned aroudn as well looking for whatever it was that was bothering Nero. It was then that he actually noticed there was some sort of presence around them.

[Unknown] ~ [Human/Ninja - F] Everything in the forest seemed to fall silent for a moment. The only sound that could be heard was the soft whistles of the wind as it brushed through the leaves and tickled the grass. Without any warning, five ninja stars came flying down from the trees, landing only inches away from Nero’s feet and sticking into the grass. Up in a tree in front of Nero a woman appeared, landing on an open branch, her dark brown eyes looking down at her. She had long black hair, partly tied up. Around her neck she wore a bright red scare matching the rest of her blue, purple and red skin tight clothes. On her back she had three swords and in her left hand she held another ninja star. “ You are trespassing” The woman spat.

Gavin's eyes seemed to shimmer, and for a moment, he had been about to attack with a Psychic. However, Nero put a hand on his shoulder at the last minute. Nero's eyes raised and stared at the woman for a moment already assuming she was of the village from her general wear and form. At the words on trespassing, Nero slowly smiled. "I am Nero Ishi, and I have already been here and am recognized in Tree-Top Town as a citizen," she stated rather sharply keeping her own brown eyes on the woman. Of course she hadn't met everyone in the village, but she knew the dojo instructor and several key leaders well enough.

[Unknown] ~ [Human/Ninja - F] The woman froze for a moment saying the name over and over again in her mind before finally looking back down at Nero. “ Nero… she claimed, her expression softening as she jumped down from the tree and landed a few feet away from Nero. “ I apologize. I did not realize.” she claimed, giving a small bow before standing up straight. “ Welcome home.”

Something in Nero's soul sighed peacefully. It had been quite a long time since she had been home.... this home.... the place, much like the hideout in some respects, was safe and good. "Thank you," she answered back bowing in return calmly now. "It's been too long since I've been home," she smiled a little. She... really needed to come home more often, heh.
Gavin breathed out quietly and slowly bowed a bit after the two humans. It was interesting, really, how at ease Nero's mind was at the moment. For all the chaos that had been happening in the weeks before, he'd never found her so peaceful as sof now. 'I am Gavin' he projected his thoughts carefully before finally looking sideways at Nero.
"I have not met you before... what is your name?" Nero asked.

[Unknown] ~ [Human/Ninja - F] The woman looked down at Gaven and nodded, “ It’s an honour” she replied to him before looking back up at Nero as she asked for a name. “ I’m Emma Hishto” She claimed, “ Daughter of weapons master in Tree-Top. I’ve only recently returned as well. My father told me that it’s up to all citizens of Tree-Top to learn about Era and our land.” Which of course, was the reason she left for so long. She believed it was the best way to learn about her world before setting down and learning to take over for her father. She only looked to be about twenty or so years old.

Nero's eyes grew a moment as she realized she did, in fact, recognize the family name that was given. So this girl was the daughter of the man that replaced her needles and general weapons? Now that was very interesting. "Nice to meet you," she answered back fully comfortable now. "And indeed.. it's important to see the world and know of its state so that we can better keep the village in peace." She knew this well enough, in truth. The last thing she ever wanted to do was to see Tree-Top Town attacked for some reason. Better to keep the peace on the land. Gavin had relaxed fully now and seemed to smile slowly to himself.

[Unknown] ~ [Human/Ninja - F] “ I have defiantly learned why we keep Tree-Top so well protected from the outside world.” She claimed as if disgusted with the outside world, “ The people of Era are monsters. They are destroying the land and it’s natural resources so fast. It’s like they don’t even care.” She let out a long breath, calming herself, “ I’m sorry I don’t mean to rant. It just makes me so mad.” And even more grateful to have been born in Tree-Top Town. “ Are you staying long?”

Nero was quiet as she listened to the other woman's words and found herself silently agreeing. It was true. Humans were destroying areas and seemed to have no regard for the land in some areas. Thankfully the woods had been a strong-hold of sorts for nature. The west could not be said the same for. "I may stay for a day or two, but after that, I need to continue my traveling," Nero answered back after the question was posed to her. She did, internally, wish to stay longer, and it possibly played into her emotions and onto her face for it was Gavin who found himself looking a tad confusedly at Nero for a few seconds.

[Unknown] ~ [Human/Ninja - F] “ Oh, I see” Emma replied, looking a bit disappointed for a few seconds before a smile returned to her face, “ Are you looking for anything during your visit?” She was asking purely for conversational reasons and the off chance that maybe she could help Nero. She wasn’t the best at welcoming outsiders but when it came to citizens of the town she tried her very best to help out.

At the question, Nero half smiled and slowly pulled a needle out of her pocket. The streamlined look and the slight pronged tip was a trademark of Tree-Top Town if there ever was one. "I was looking to replace my needles," she answered back. Gavin was looking around carefully and seemed to look back the way they had been walking. He was sure something was back there but was unsure of whether or not it was really worth noting. If it was dangerous, he'd defend Nero and this woman that he had met....

[Unknown] ~ [Human/Ninja - F] “ Oh” Emma recognized the needle almost the moment it was pulled out, “ Father and I were just making some of those the other night. I’m a lot slower at it than he is but I think I’ve gotten the technique down alright. I also made a new version. I haven’t been able to test them yet though. They are slightly curved at the very top. I just, don’t use needles very often so… Oh yah! Could you try them? I wont charge you!” There was a huge amount of excitement in her throat as she rambled on about. Off by the tree where the Treeko had slipped twice before, a tiny metal head popped up. It had little blue eyes but it was hard to tell yet what it was. Whatever it was didn’t look like it was native to Tree-Top town.

Nero blinked a moment at Emma's enthusiasm for a few seconds before a slow smile came to her face. "I'd be honored to test them," she answered back nodding her head as she said her own words. Slightly curved at the top... The direction of the needles wouldn't be affected if it was small enough, so then the idea was to make a curved wound. Now that was interesting... Nero knew only enough anatomy to know where to attack namely pressure points and killing areas. Because of this, she was able to somewhat comprehend the idea of a needle entering flesh and then making a slight curved wound making it harder to pull out without the muscle being torn in the process. In truth, Nero Ishi expected nothing less from the place that had come to be her home. "Are you planning to take over making weapons one day?" she asked mildly curious.
Gavin sweat dropped unsure of what exactly he was looking at. His eyes looked backwards a moment towards where Nero and Emma were walking. He didn't want to get too far behind, but then again, he could always teleport himself to them if need be. After a few seconds, his curiosity got the best of him, and he found himself walking closer to whatever the being was that he was looking at. <Hello?> he asked after a moment.

[Aron - M] ~ [Human/Ninja - F] “ You would? Oh thank you!” She was certain her idea with the needles would work. The issue her father could see with them was that one might have to learn to throw them just slightly different to get them to hit the target where needed. Emma didn’t believe that the difference would be too significant. They weren’t curved too much, just enough that if one didn’t pull them out properly it would hurt a lot more than the original straight needles. “ Yup. Originally I wanted to be like my mother and become a guardian of the town. You know, keep the unwanted people out. But when I made my first weapon the feeling was just… Well I knew right then that I wanted to become my fathers apprentice.” The little metal body picked it’s self up when Gavin spoke. < Don’t step on me.> came the sad little reply from the Aron. It was defiantly not a pokemon who was native to Tree-Top but sure enough, he was there. He had been trying to hide all day but everywhere he went pokemon and people would step on him. They didn’t even notice that he was alive! It was so unfair.

Nero listened quietly to Emma's words and nodded her head a bit in understanding. Finding one's niche was always something that seemed to spark a life. However, Nero was still unsure of her own place in the world at that point. Oh well for now... "It's good to do things that truly spark you," the dark haired cross-dresser said aloud closing both eyes for a second before opening them again. "I've yet to find that thing that truly sparks me, but I'm sure someday it'll hit."
Gavin blinked a good few times realizing exactly what it was. An... Aron? After a few seconds, the Gardevoir bent down and looked at the Aron rather carefully. <I didn't think Aron came this far out.... what are you doing here?> he asked rather curiously.

[Aron - M] ~ [Human/Ninja - F] The Aron looked down at the ground when Gavin asked the question of why he was there. It seemed he wasn’t too happy about the reason. < My trainer was attacked by some ninja looking people.> He claimed, < He sent me out to distract them and than ran away, leaving me behind.> He had been there for a good two or three weeks now. He was pretty sure the trainer wouldn’t be coming back for him. “ Well if you keep searching you’ll run into someday” Emma replied cheerfully, “ My father once told me that sometimes who we are is sitting right in front of us, we just don’t know it’s there yet.” The young woman seemed to have a rather positive outlook on things at least. As they continued to walk they eventually came to a few trees that appeared to have lifts and latter’s hanging down from them.
