Volar paused when he felt Artemis touch his arm. He jumped and gave her a blank gaze. His eyes glowed an unnatural silver blue. "Don't bother trying to help me with anything. My telekinesis isn't normal. Not even the Psychics of Sabrina's gym in Kanto were able to help.... They say to let it take hold over me.... because when I fight it it tries to kill me...." He told Artemis. His eyes shown the story. They were surging with his energy as well as his outline. Lakota then growled and back away. She saw the table where Artemis was had began to shake. Renegade snarled a loud screech and this sound shattered glass and several ceramic cups from around Artemis and Reila. Volar winced and fell to the ground. Renegade floated next to his side. He let loose a sigh of relief. Lakota picked up her tamer and nodded to Artemis. She then picked him up and carried him on her back. She made a motion to Artemis, in a manner that said, "Follow." She then carried Volar on her back out of the restaurant. Her look in her eyes shown this was the worst episode Volar had. Renegade grabbed Artemis's arm and nipped at her Lugia's tail. He finally was pushed to speaking, "We need you too to follow us! And fast... Volar has never had an episode this bad!" it told them. Then he caught up with Lakota and his tamer.

((Err. I'd much rather you not. n_n; Maybe you could find some trainer to trade with but swapping it like this is not really preferred for me. Sorry!))

Lugia's fur bristled and she took to the sky, swatting at Renegade, hissing a bit at the nipping. She didn't appear to enjoy the playfulness, especially when something was happening. "You go ahead, Lugia. I'll catch up. Help out by whatever means necessary."
'Yes, Art.'
And with that, Lugia flew off with all possible speed.

Artemis tagged along, keeping a steady pace and not needing to be dragged. Her heels clacked on the street with every step and the ribbons on her back flowed away from her body, like wings on a bird. While it was strange to hear other Pokemon's voices other than Lugia's, Artemis found it extremely handy to know what they all wanted on their own.

Her gaze fell upon Volar, concerned about his health. If this... power of his could cost him his life, then what else could it do? How powerful was it?

Lakota led Artemis and her partner Lugia to an old abandoned shed. Lakota laid Volar on a cot near a dark corner. Renegade floated over Volar and landed onto him. He then shifted to his Altered Forme. He then repeated the eerie powerful screech. Volar gasped and trembled a bit. His eyes shot opened and the glass windows exploded in the opposite side of the shed. He was still and was slowly regaining conscious. Lakota nodded towards Renegade who nodded. The Giratina then cleared his throat and spoke again, "Volar's power can affect numerous things.... As you can see it can shatter windows, and make things shake. Most trainers only have maybe partial telekinesis. Volar has it FULL blown. Humans were once able to have Psychic abilities as potent as Psychic Pokemon. That's why Pokemon like Ghost types and Psychic types are lured to him. Same goes for me! Oh Dark types are the same way... Even Legendaries that are Psychic, Ghost, and Dark Types are lured to him. But most of them have vanished." Renegade then flew onto Lakota's shoulder. "But Volar's powers aren't entirely natural. His was born the moment he was killed. Some people die yet are brought back. And in those cases may rarely develop vast knowledge and even great powers. Almost as if from the Spirit World." He then finished. Lakota lowered her head. She whimpered as well. She looked up and saw Volar stir. He sat up and was again aware of his surroundings.  

Vynessa ran the voice and face in her head. "Alritghty then." She said to herself. "Two accomplishments in under ten minuets, must be a record." She told Lyle and the Zekrom. "Volar, the guy with the glowing eyes." She took a sip from the mug when suddenly a char was jolted back and knocked her slightly. "Great it spilt." She said with a bit of dismay. That rum was expensive. Lyle bounded up off the chair and knelt down licking at the spill. "You like it as much as I do don'cha?" She snickered, only to be 'out-laughed', by a female trainer in red. 

Reila seemed to ponder what to do next. Eventually she decided to go on a little exploration of her own. She was going to ask Celebi to teleport them but stopped herself; she had been relying on Celebi as a mode of transport far too often. Instead, she sent out her Staraptor and hopped onto it's back, returning Blade to his Pokeball (Blade seemed reluctant to return). She allowed Celebi to remain out and Reila held her Eevee tight. "Take us to the forest." Reila whispered to Staraptor, who nodded and swiftly took flight. The female Staraptor took Reila up high, giving the trainer a full view of the land below. Eventually they landed in the woods. Reila dismounted Staraptor, feeding her an Oran Berry as thanks before returning the flying type to it's Pokeball. Before Reila could do much else, her Eevee lept from her arms and ran across the ground at a rapid pace. The Eevee then began to bark, excitedly. Before Reila could ask what was the matter, a large Pokemon had emerged from the bushes. She knew that the Pokemon was a Skarmory. With a metallic shriek, it flew up and then came down with a Steel Wing attack, hitting the Eevee hard. Reila picked up the tiny Pokemon to protect it, while Celebi cried out in horror before hiding behind Reila. Suddenly, without Reila calling him out, Blade emerged from his Pokeball, and stood ready to attack the Skarmory should it attack again.

Volar didn't really notice Vynessa when she rushed into the shed. Until she said something to him. Lakota snarled at the lady trainer when she came in. Renegade circled his tamer when he saw Vynessa. Volar stood up and seemed a tad confused. "Excuse me Miss? But I've not a clue on who you are. And how do you know me?!" he said to Vynessa, with a tint of suspicion in his voice. The voice was rather gruff and sounded labored a bit. He seemed drained and tired and so was kinda cranky. The Garchomp; Lakota, suddenly looked behind them. Her shark fin on her back stood on razor-edged end. She let loose a loud roar. Volar's eyes flashed a sudden blue. He instinctively looked behind him and saw some trainers heckling a Torchic. The poor baby fire-chick Pokemon was being forced into a trap. Volar yelled and a small telekinetic blast forced it's way out of him. Renegade noticed this and blasted the trap. Somehow realizing that was a command to destroy it, to save the Torchic. The trap sprang the Torchic into the air, right into Lakota's big arms. She purred at the baby Pokemon and hugged it gently. She waltzed into the Shed when she saw the trainers that were trying to catch the Torchics to sell for big money. Volar rushed outside with a Pokeball in hand. He then motioned for Lakota to protect the Torchic. The lady Garchomp nodded and snarled in a matter that sounded like she said, "Don't worry, this baby's safe with me...." Renegade nodded and flew at Valor's side. Volar then yelled, "Garaikou, time for your frenzied flames to be set loose! Burn these Poacher's Pokemon so they'll get the idea to never listen to their trainers again!" Garaikou came out in a blazing red flash and roared with a powerful frenzy. He eyed the Pokemon summoned out of the Pokeballs by the Poachers with a look on his face that shown he was a veteran of battles galore. This scared some of the Pokemon and made them back away. Others however were also vets of tough fights and challenged Garaikou and Renegade. "Okay Garaikou, one of them's a water type! So use your secret weapon on it, Thunder Punch!" Garaikou snarled and used Thunder Punch. Bolts of static electricity sparked out of Garaikou's hands, that was made by rubbing his fur together; and slammed the Water Type Feraligatr with a powerful right and left, one, two, punch. Those blows were enough for the Feraligatr to be knocked out. The Poacher was slammed by his own Pokemon and knocked out as well.  Renegade on the other hand was fighting another Pokemon as well. It was also a Type stronger than itself but the Giratina was very calm. He roared and blasted the target Ice type Pokemon with Aura Sphere. The Ice Type Glalie was knocked out in one hit too. 

((I'll respond ASAP. I'm having a busy and stressful week at work. xD; Sorry everyone!))

(That's okay Whit!)

The Skarmory hung in the air and did not attack...that is, until a voice was heard. Although Reila couldn't work out EXACTLY what they said, she thought that the voice had said 'Use Steel Wing on the girl!' Sure enough, the Skarmory swooped down with the move again. This time Blade took action, using Brick Break on the Pokemon, causing it quite some damage. The Skarmory collapsed to the ground. It began to struggle up to it's feet. Reila's attention was drawn to the shadows of a nearby tree, where she realized a figure was standing. She couldn't see them clearly, but there was something about this person that made her skin crawl. The person recalled the Skarmory without a word. Then they sent out a Hydreigon, which proceeded to use Hyper Voice, knocking Reila back several feet. The Hydreigon then swooped over, narrowly dodging a Brick Break attack from Blade, and picking up one of Reila's Pokeballs. It then went over to it's trainer in the shadows, and the two then seemed to melt away into the blackness... Reila stared after them, wide-eyed. A tear teased it's way down Reila's cheek. That Pokeball was her Staraptor's. Blade helped Reila to her feet, but Reila couldn't stop her tears. What kind of cruel, heartless person could just turn up and take her Pokemon? ((By the way, the figure in the shadows was in the previous version of this RP...named Black, and my character defeated him before.))

((Fail post ahoy.))

Volar walked to Vynessa and sighed. He looked as if he did a ton of terrible things in the past. "Yes I did say that. But understand Vynessa.... I'm sorry. I was one of those bad guys that harmed Pokemon in the past. But that's when Garaikou and Renegade shown me the right way. Now I've changed for the best." he told her. He then petted his two Pokemon near him. He stroked Renegade on his back. Renegade wrapped himself around Volar's neck as a living necklace again. Volar smiled and pet him again. Garaikou enjoyed the few pats on his head and licked his face. Volar made a "Pfft" sound and smiled. 

Eevee leapt away from Reila, as did Celebi. Eevee set about yelling as loud as it's high-pitched voice would allow and Celebi glowed for a moment, using some sort of psychic power, before returning to normal. "It's ok, Reila." Celebi said, in an effort to comfort her trainer. "We'll get Staraptor back!" Reila wasn't so sure. But suddenly, her Eevee stopped yelling. It collapsed and seemed in pain. "What is it, Eevee?" Reila asked, almost desperately. But it was then that she noticed her Eevee was glowing faintly. And then...it spoke. "Staraptor was my friend..." the high-pitched voice seemed strained. "And...I won't r-r-rest until...Staraptor returns..." And then, quite to the surprise of Reila, Blade and Celebi...Eevee began to evolve. "Oh my gosh..." Reila gasped. The light grew brighter and brighter still, before it died down comletely. An Espeon stood in Eevee's place. "You evolved to help Staraptor?" Reila asked. Espeon nodded. Reila guessed that his speech before was telepathy.

(Bump)

A humming noise came from Lugia. She had been preening in on the conversation telepathically and a tone of displeasure was in her mental voice when she spoke to Artemis. 'I don't like the idea of being drawn to anyone but you, Art.' To which Artemis smiled and waved it off, though she returned to her serious nature almost immediately afterward, not wanting to appear as if she was taking the situation too lightly.

Artemis listened to the story about how he came upon Renegade and Lakota. She knelt down beside the cot and laid her head on the side of it, like a child would upon the shoulder of his or her parent when the child was sleepy, or looking for comfort. She remained silent throughout and let the words absorb into her mind, thinking upon everything he said and considering it all. So he had died.
Artemis made sure her face showed no signs of panic, for she was slightly terrified. Was he a zombie or a ghost? He seemed real enough. His touch looked real, he breathed, he felt emotions... Maybe stories about what ghosts could do were just that - stories. It didn't explain away the ghost Pokemon's abilities, though.

Artemis was slightly startled when the woman suddenly appeared and spoke. She glanced around, wondering what Lugia was doing and why she didn't alert her to the woman's sudden appearance. Artemis jumped up and quickly examined her appearance before deeming herself appropriate for appearance and eyed the woman in the yellow jacket carefully. It was only when Volar started to move that Artemis tore her attention away from Vynessa. "Are you ok-" she was cut off when his eyes began to glow blue again. She followed their gaze to the Torchic and frowned. Why must people be so narrow-minded? Why couldn't they accept the world how it was? When she looked over, Artemis saw Lugia perched in a tree, preparing to fly at the offenders, but decided against it. Instead, she waited for directions from Artemis.

Artemis exited the building and hung back, watching Volar battle. He seemed to have everything under control. She shuddered as the Feraligatr fell, her thoughts going to her own Feraligatr, though she was sure he could handle things well if he had to fight.

Almost immediately after that thought, Vynessa began to explain her presence there and then turned attention upon her. Artemis stared calmly in return. Whatever she meant by "interesting", she figured it was meant to be interpreted her own way. "Likewise." Was all Artemis said. Several conclusions came to her as she impartially examined Vynessa. Was she trying to pick a fight? 'Art...' Came Lugia's cautious voice. Artemis knew that getting into a fight would be a bad thing, especially if it was a misunderstanding, but perhaps all the battling that was happening so suddenly made her want to join in, regardless of who her opponent was.

Again, Volar had one of his episodes and she snapped her head to him. Lugia's wings unfurled and she howled a bit at the news that a Pokemon was stolen. 'Thieves! Cowards!' Lugia screeched, her mind-waves violent and fearsome. "Let's go!" Artemis called out, waving to Lugia. "Go find them! Help any way you can!" Artemis lingered back a bit, glancing to the other two and wondered if she should wait, but waiting meant losing time, and in a situation like this, time was absolutely necessary.

Artemis took off, running as fast as she could after her Pokemon. In her hand she held a Pokeball and wondered if she should release the Pokemon within. She bounced the orb in her hand twice, but then returned it to the belt that held her Pokeballs. She'd use it another time, but now now. Artemis stumbled upon Reila and her Pokemon. She noticed Eevee had evolved, which took her by surprise. "Are you okay?" Artemis said, a bit out of breath. Lugia circled overhead, searching intently for signs of the thief.

Reila turned. "Someone came...attacked me with a Skarmory and Hydreigon...then they took my dear Staraptor's Pokeball and left..." Reila said, hesitantly. Espeon looked sad. Celebi buzzed around, glancing about. Reila pointed. "They just came out if the shadows and left just as suddenly as they had come...with my precious Staraptor." Reila said, and in an effort to stop her friend from crying again, Celebi proceeded to use Heal Bell. It helped a little.

Artemis' Lugia screeched causing Vynessa to wince slightly. From the reaction the trainer in red got, she summed up that telekinesis was being used. Artemis and the Lugia took off with a swift pace, heading into the forest that they bordered. Seeing the teenager look back rather hesitantly and then continue speeding ahead brought a smile to her face, despite the rather horrendous circumstances. 

A tingle shot down her spine. Was this the work of a secret enemy group? Perhaps the same who was spreading around the malicious rumours about Pokemon causing all the problems in the world. A definitive hatred formed in her heart and she clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. Her brows knit together as she glanced around the forest. 'Art, follow me this way. I saw something!' Lugia said. The Pokemon lingered in the air a bit, then turned west and began to fly.

"You should come with us so you can confront your attacker," Artemis said, turning to Reila. She held out her hand to her, hoping to receive and alliance and aid against this threat. There was no way she was going to allow some stranger to waltz into HER area and steal Pokemon from people. "I'm Artemis, by the way." She said with a grin, realizing her manners fell behind her own personal comfort.

Reila managed a smile, accepting Artemis' hand. rnrn"Thanks for your help." Reila said, smiling. "I think Espeon here can help. Actually...so might this Pokemon." Reila fished a Pokeball from her bag and sent out a female Luxio. rnrn"This is Pandora." Reila said. "As you probably know, Luxio's evolution, Luxray, can see through anything and nothing escapes it's glance.Now, although Luxio can't see THROUGH ob[injection]jects, it still has very keen eyesight. Pandora here might be able to help us." The female Luxio nodded.

Volar suddenly came into the area. He was riding his Aggron, Agregore. The powerful Steel and Rock type Pokemon seemed to not have broken a single sweat. Volar jumped off of his Pokemon and sent him back into the Pokeball. Lakota had the baby Torchic in her arms. She smelled the person nearby.
