"Hey, look!" Sally said just before landing. "There's someone down there!" Kyoko looked. There was a Sandshrew not too far away. They looked a little nervous. Before Kyoko could say anything, Sally had changed course and landed just in front of the Sandshrew, who jumped and gave a squeal of surprise.

"Hello there!" Sally said, giving a friendly smile. "My name's Sally. And this is Kyoko!"

"Hello." Kyoko said, smiling shyly. "Nice to meet you. What's your name?"

Vrakka, heart pounding and eyes wide, froze as the strange pokemon began talking to her.  When it dawned on her that they weren't going to attack her, about half a minute after they asked for her name, she managed to relax a little bit and stuttered, "V-Vrakka."  She reached back and rubbed her sore tail, more out of reflex than anything else.  She noticed that these pokemon didn't seem to horribly agressive, unlike a certain Krabby, and might even be friendly.  Mabye they could help her find an Oran Berry.

"Vrakka, huh? That's a lovely name!" Sally said, smiling yet again. Kyoko smiled as well.

"What are you doing out here? Looking for something, perhaps?" she said. "Because if you are searching for something, then we can help you out." Kyoko waited for Vrakka to answer. The Sandshrew seemed to be a nice enough Pokemon.

Vrakka looked in shock at the two pokemon in front of her.  Why weren't they attacking her?  Why were they being nice?  She was curious, but not quite enough to ask.  They could change thier minds about helping her, and mabye even decide they should be attacking her, and not talking.  " I'm, uh, looking for an Oran berry, " Vrakka said, hoping they actually meant it when they said they would help, and weren't just trying to trick her for their amusement.

"You're looking for Oran Berries?" Kyoko asked. Sally grinned and her wings twitched.

"Well, why didn't you say so in the first place?" she said. "I'll take a look!" Kyoko looked as Sally fluttered into the air, flying high above the treetops. After a moment, she landed again.

"We're in luck!" she said. "There's an Oran Berry plant just around the corner! There's no other Pokemon around...apart from a Kakuna, but it's not like a Kakuna can do anything." Kyoko looked over at Vrakka, smiling.

"Let's go!" she said.

Akello trotted happily through the trees, his head held high and Victoria soundly sleeping on his back. He had just been training around the forest, and was quite satisfied with how easy it was to zap the bird pokemon in the trees. He had shocked Tori at one point though, and she needed to rest, despite the fact that it was day, and well, hoothoots usually DO sleep all day. He heard a sort of humming sound not too far away. He stopped, this could be the perfect oportunity to test out his new move, flame charge! Trotting proudly towards the clearing, Akello decided that Tori shouldn't be hurt any more while he is training and laid down to let her off, onto the ground. 

Victoria drowsily rolled off of Akello's back to the forest floor. She stretched herself and turned around before settling again. She yawed and mumbled something along the lines of: "Don't hurt yourself Akello." she dozed off quickly.

Akello trotted in place temporarily, he was going to make this perfect! A flame charge in, a quick battle with whatever was making the buzzing noise, and then back to Victoria! Simple, easy, and a perfect plan in his head. Not so much of a perfect plan in reality though. He trotted forewards a few yards, slowly moving into a steady gallop, and lit a spark, igniting himself while running. So far, so good, but as he dashed through the trees, around the corner, his flame went out with the wind. 

I'll just run in and use spark! That's it! He thought, finishing rounding the corner.

As he entered the clearing, he promptly fell right on his face, meeting the ground with a swift THUD, tripping over his own hooves as he tried to stop. That didn't stop his though. Akello quickly got up from his fall, standing proudly, his face covered in mud. 

"I am Akello! I challenge you to a battle!" He screamed out, panting and exhausted, and sent out a tired spark with the last of his effort, which ended up only hitting the sandshrew, which wasn't effected by his shock, but probably was a little surprised to see it come close.

Akello sighed at his weak spark and attepted to do it again, and again, and again, before finally collapsing from the exhaustion. "F-f-fine! y-you win!" he said with a ignorant huff, pretending like both sides were even fighting.

 Victoria heard all the noise that Akello was making nearby. He was such a bother at times. She stretched her wings and feet quickly and rolled up to her feet. She followed the sound of Akello's voice and sparking, as well as the smell of charred ground to hop to the clearing.

"Didn't I tell you not to hurt yourself Akello? How are we ever supposed to live if you keep overexurting yourself? hm?" She cooed in a soft and sweet voice. Victoria seemed not to notice that the others were even there, despite a buzzing noise from above her head.

Vrakka, about to respond to the oddly helpful pokemon, was interuppted by the sound of hooves pounding towards them.  Startle, she turned to see what was approaching, seeing as very scary striped pokemon charging at her.  She squeeled a little out of surprise and was about to bolt when the pokemon tripped over it's own hooves and collapsed.  It stood up a yelled that it wanted to fight her before using spark, which startled her but did little else. 

She decided that before the pokemon could attack her anymore, she would hide behind her new strong friends.  Hopefully they wouldn't take this moment to get angry at her.  So, she darted behind Kyoko, trying her best to disappear.  She hardly noticed the Hoothoot that seemed to be traveling with the overaggressive striped pokemon.  She only really payed attention to it when it began talking to the striped pokemon.

((Hurray for cowardice!))

Kyoko gave a squeal, but she pulled herself together as she quickly evaluated the situation. She turned her head and whispered to Vrakka, who was hiding behind her.

"Do you know the move Dig?" she said, as quietly as possible. "If things get bad, either you can use Dig with me to get outta here or Sally can Fly you out and I'll find you later." Sally met Kyoko's gaze and nodded.

"The meeting place should be that lake to the north." Sally replied, whispering. "But if we need to fight, well...I can disable the Blitzle with Attract. Kyoko knows that move, too. We'll be fine. And anyway..." And at this point, Sally raised her voice a little so that the Blitzle and Hoothoot could here. She gave a smug grin.

"...I happen to be part Ground type, so Electric-type attacks...have no effect on me." she gave a laugh. Kyoko shivered, and Vrakka curled up into a ball. Kyoko didn't want to anger the other Pokemon.

"Sally...shhhh..." was all Kyoko would say.

Akello sighed and stood up. "Fine! you win! I thought it was just one pokemon at first anyways, that's the only reason I wanted to fight!" he said, sitting down to catch his breath. He turned his head over to Victoria, barely hearing her scolding him. "Yeah, I wasn't hurt... I just tired myself out it all. Besides... two of the pokemon here are ground type Tori. A sandshrew, and a Vibrava." he said with a stubborn huff. "I could've taken them down anyways... I'm just tired out is all..." he mumbled stubbornly.

Victoria cooed quietly and yawned. "Oh? There's more than just  a little buzzing pokemon here?" she hooted. She hopped around the clearing, trying not to bump into anyone and letting out a little hoot when she did.

"Here, Tori, let me help you, you look rediculous." Akello said, guiding his feathered friend to the center of the clearing.  Victoria followed him gladly and puffed herself up a bit, to make herself known. "Hello! I am Victori, and this is my friend and caretaker, Akello." She quietly cooed. "I'm sorry about what he did, he can be very reckless sometimes." 

Akello sat and rolled his eyes. "I'm only trying to do this so that I can evolve as soon as possible. Then we can get to somewhere safer, faster." he huffed.

Victoria turned back to a facing forewards position and blindly stared off into the distance. "As you may have noticed, I am blind. Would you all tell me who and what you are? I really have no idea how many pokemon and what pokemon I am even speaking to right now." she cooed, laughing a bit at the end.

"I'm Kyoko, an Eevee." Kyoko introduced herself. "Pleased to meet you."

"And I'm Sally! I'm a shiny Vibrava!" Sally hummed, vibrating her wings like all other Vibravas did. Kyoko stepped out of the way and gently nudged Vrakka, who uncurled from a ball.

"Go on, Vrakka, why don't you say hi?" she said, gently.

Kyoko turned and showed immediate concern.

"Vrakka, are you hurt?" she asked. "Is that why you needed an Oran Berry?" Sally's antenna twitched.

"I'll fly and get you one." Sally said, taking off. "I shan't be long. Wait here!"

((I know how you feel about homework.  I don't think I'll have any free time this weekend, despite it being three days long.  If I seem to dissapear at that time, you'll know what happened.  Also, I think I managed to burn myself today on the bus using my watch.  I certainly am talented.))

Vrakka watched as Sally flew away.  She was glad that she wanted to help, but she wasn't quite sure how to respond to their actions.  She was pretty sure the normal response was a smile and some phrase she had forgotten.  Hopefully a smile would be good enough. 

((I think I'll make another character.  There's just so little that poor, paranoid, antisocial Vrakka is able to do at the moment.))

Name:Novatt

Species:Sneasel

Gender: male

Move List:Faint Attack, Quick Attack, Leer, Taunt

Looks:Normal Sneasel.

Other: none

((There we go.  I do believe he shall be my intimidating character.  I'll try to make up some kind of plot to use him in.  :3  Feel free to spout out ideas.))

((Maybe Novatt will come in and start bullying other Pokemon. He could maybe start bullying Sally at some point because of her colouring, and then they could have a fight when Sally gets REAL angry...just an idea. xD Novatt used Taunt!))
