Drake was reading a crumpled Tynri tour guide that had been in his original backpack. ~A river... covered in lava...~ He repeated, re-reading it. ~This has got to be one of the weirdest things I've ever seen~ He looked up at the real thing. Well, this was going to be one of the more interesting parts of his journey, by the looks of it.

~Cheater! No splashing!~ ~I'm not cheating! MARCO!~ A bunch of 'POLO's called and some splashing continued. Playing Marco Polo was oh so much more interesting in a hot spring.

~Marco polo?~ Drake said to himself, confused. He loved that game, but it had never occured to him that pokemon knew about it. Heh, go figure. He started walking in the direction of the spring to see this odd spectacle.
(( Considering the vulpix is just a follower, should I mod her or you? Never had a follower before o.o))

//I don't know I've never had a follower either.//
Two Meowkips, a Squirtle and a landlocked Charmander were crowded in one pool. Apparently Charmander was the judge and had gotten splashed, Squirtle was it and was splashing the two Meowkips who were hiding behind Charmander.

Drake wondered if that was really safe, hiding from water behind a pokemon who's tailflame kept it alive. Still, if charmanders could survive a hydro pump attack or two, a bit of splashing would probably be okay.

~Marco~ ~Po-Kemorph!~ The Squirtle opened it's eyes staring at the Charmander, who was pointing at Drake. ~Thats NOT polo.~ It said simply, looking Drake up and down. The two Meowkips went to investigate. ~Be careful!~ The Charmander called.

~...Hi?~ Drake said, feeling a little nervous. He seemed to suddenly be the center of attention. Still, they were pokemon... pokemon he could handle. If humans started staring at him like that he'd freak out.

One of the Meowkips cautiously went up the Drake before poking him in the leg. The other squeled causing the first to retreat. Charmander sighed. ~He's not DANGEROUS. Unless he happened to be able to turn into a Mightyena. Then he'd eat us all...~

/I'm always expected to eat them. Ugh, mightyenas sure built up a reputation.../ ~I can turn into a mightyena, but I don't eat pokemon. Never have, never will~ He said, a little annoyed at the stereotype. Surely there were vegetarian mightyenas.... ehm, nevermind. Probably not. Stupid Team Magma.
(( Since the 'pix is just following, as an adventurer and not a battling partner, I'd say it should probably be the mod who mods it. What do you think? ))

//Okay lets go with that.//
~How do we know? You could be one of those Reds in disguise!~ One of the Meowkips said. The other nodded in agreement. Squirtle shook its head. ~No those are on the other side of the volcano. If he was a Red he's obviously lost.~ It said, being all 'smartificial' Vulpix sighed in annoyance. ~You guys obviously listen to the wrong ends of rumors. If he ate pokemon I wouldn't be here traveling with him. If he was a 'Red' as you call them, he wouldn't of been able to get across the volcano, and not all Mightyena's are pokemon eaters. In fact I don't even think they exist.~ Vulpix ended it's speech by jumping on a nearby rock and sitting down 'sophisticated' like.

Drake blinked. Wow, that pokemon was sure good at summing stuff up. The only thing left to say was "What she said!", and that always sounded really lame... so he waited...

Squirtle scoffed. ~Like YOU'D know what Reds and Mightyenas do.~ It said smugly. Vulpix began giving the turtle the eviler verion of the 'guilty stare' she was giving Drake on the top of the mountain. Charmander ignored the two quarrelers and walked up to Drake, trying to avoid water splashed from the two Meowkips who had resumed a one on one Marco Polo. ~So what brings you to this side?~ It asked.

~I'm on a pokemon journey, and I need to get to the town past this route for my next badge.~ Drake said, wondering what other reason anyone would come here.

Charmander asked, "Isn't that what they always do? Badges, badges, badges. Who needs a stupid scrap of metal anyway?" The Squirtle nodded in agreement and added, "You can jsut make your own, what's the difference?" A Mudkip came splashing in, followed by a Furchie. It stared in amazement at the trainer. True, the two Pokemon had come here to research the trainers, it was their job. And you thought there were only human professors? Charmander said, "The only way across is over there."[/b] Charmander pointed in the direction behind Drake and added, "If we let you through." The Charmander started to hiss.

~Behind me?~ Drake thought there was only the volcano behind him now.
((Lol, only I doubt your pokemon give out humans to pokemon that are new 'human trainers'... I really hope, that is))

ooc: No, they don't, they just try to find out stuff about trainers and their ways.
bic: Charmander asked, "Aren't you going to the volcano? Oh, then the direction's that way." The CHarmander pointed north. The Furchie and Mudkip, cocked their heads, then walked around Drake, examining him. THe Charmander was apparently in a sour mood, and flames surrounded it, quickly burned out by the water. It jumepd out, and again, flames surrounded it.

((I like my idea better .-. Prof: Here's yer human, and your starter kit. Human: Help!))
~Oooh kay then.... are you letting me past?~ Drake asked, feeling quite odd being examined like some... thing that scientists examine. These expressions hadn't been seen by him since MagmaLabs.

Now THIS is where Charmander grinned. ~Perhaps...It all depends.~ It said. The two scientists were now doing some sort of measuring, the Mudkip trying to be as tall as it could to measure Drake's height. Which didn't go very well as it fell backwards onto where Vulpix was resting, having scared off the nuisance Squirtle.

Not noticing anything else that was going on, Drake continued his conversation. ~Depends on what?~

Post by Kitsu on Feb 20, 2008 20:15:34 GMT -5
{b]~Depends if you have one of me already.~[/b] Charmander said. It didn't want to battle a trainer that already had a charmander. It'd be pointless. They'd probably just leave it fainted here to be eaten or worse.

~Ah, so it's a battle you're after?~ Drake said, taking a miniaturized pokeball from his belt. He could definitely handle the charmander, all his good mon were water types.

Post by Inu on Feb 21, 2008 16:40:56 GMT -5
The Charmander turned his head and said, "Maybe. What's it your after? Isn't it that of the trainer? To catch Pokemon, or just leave them lying fainted on the ground?" The scientists finished their measuring, and began to sniff in Drake's bag and pokeballs.

Drake noticed the pokemon inspecting his bag, and gave a short glare ~Please, don't mess with any of that~ He took off the bag and put it on the ground so if the pokemon would search through his belongings at least he wouldn't have some random mon perched on his back... he just hoped they wouldn't steal them or anything. Drake was about to throw his pokeball, but then for some reason put it back and took out another one. He didn't want it to look like he had on overwhelming advantage. He wouldn't use a water pokemon, which may make this battle difficult, but he still had a plan. ~Go, Venture!~ He shouted, throwing the ball and releasing a skitorita. ~Venture, use your Assist attack~ He told the pokemon, who concentrated, randomly browsing every moveset Drake's pokemon had, before shooting a Hydro Pump. All right, that was pretty lucky. He just hoped that next time he'd be just as lucky, and keep getting water moves. He also hoped that the Hydro Pump would actually hit.

The Charmander hissed. It jumped up and used Flamethrower, then dove threw it using Slash.

The skitorita barely dodged this, and knowing the routine, used assist again. After a few seconds, the kitty pokemon blew fire out of her mouth. Flamethrower. Either that or she's been eating too much spicy food.

The Charmander came back with one of its own Flamethrowers. It started to sprint forward, flames shooting out of its mouth. Another Flamethrower with the Slash.

The skitty got hit, and tried another assist... she then glowed, looking like she was evolving. But skitoritas don't evolve into charmanders. Venture had borrowed Scout's 'transform'.

This got Charmander confused. Nonetheless it attacked with Slash.

Post by Drake on Feb 23, 2008 23:44:14 GMT -5
The skitorita/charmander was hit hard, skidding backwards at the impact. Drake hadn't thought of Scout's transform being used for assist, and didn't know what to do. He didn't even know what moves a charmander had, and he wasn't pulling out his pokedex and researching in the middle of a battle... so, he used the basic fact that if the real charmander had a certain ability, so would Venture. ~Venture, use Slash!~

Charmander brought one arm up in a Slash attack of its own. The two locked together, but ther Charmander had had less time ot prepare, and began skidding backwards. Letting out a roar, it leapt up into the air, flames leaping from its mouth as it used another Flamethrower.
