Fallen Gems ☼ Started. Not Accepting.

[◇ Void ◇]

Absol Only can have watched as the Fearow Colided into him. The Colision sent Absol sliding to the Cliffside's edge and After a Attempt of Scrapeing him on the cliff side; Started to Role down. Jaged rocks Sliced and brused Absols allready battered flesh and made him into a Badly wounded posision. Landing by the side of the Trees; He started to slide in and out of Contuneneuss, Until he Fainted.

 

"W-What...Happening..."He though as he Coplased.

[Snitch]

Alakazam, having been sat cross-legged and eyes closed for the past quarter-day, finally stood up. His eyes were hazy, tinted with a blue colour. He looked at Gardevoir and Magmar. "They know where you are already," he said, referencing to Gardeivoir's earlier statement. "And they are coming." He nodded in almost a sad way.

[SparkWyvren]

Absol's hyper beam hit him in the middle. All his hp was gone. Flygon pulled in to a uncontrollable nosedive aiming for a group of trees 60 feet away from the new camp. Flygon fell faster,faster,faster.

He reached 200 mph before... Impact! Tree after tree fell b/c of the speed and force of the collided pokemon. At last, Flygon stoped moving. The group of trees were no more. All that was left was a 6 foot deep crater with the almost unconscious pokemon laying in the middle of it. Flygon's last though: "Boy am i hungry". Then he passed into unconsciousness.

 

Ooc: I really need someone to save me now.

[Skippy Canoe]

Gardevoir swallowed, which cause pain in her dry throat. She thought for a moment.

 

"I need to go back to the old camp and make sure no one is following us. Magmar is in charge of both divisions while I am away. No one is to migrate until I return. We left Flygon behind."

 

Gardevoir shuffled along the path out of the cathedral-like clearing. After a while of walking, she came back to the other end of the crescent of trees. She gasped when she saw both Absol and Flygon lying in branches of trees.

[Hydra of Ages]

((Erm, exactly why is it impossible to breed new pokemon? Being unable to reproduce without human assistance would actually eliminate them from the Biological classification of 'living things'.))

 

Echo blinked as she saw the battle end quite painfully.

 

"Well, that was quick." she muttered to herself, glancing over at the conveniently placed cliff that the Absol had been knocked over by a coincidental Fearow physical conflict. The dragon had been sent in the other direction by the Hyperbeam, but Echo wasn't worried, figuring that only someone blind, deaf and numb could have NOT noticed the rather rough landing he had made. Plus, Flygon (and all dragons particularly) were rather hardy creatures.

 

She peeked over the clifface to look at the badly bruised and beaten quadruped from his trip down, and hopped carefully down it until she was next to the badly damaged creature.

 

"He's alive." the Quilava assessed after checking his pulse. She paused and bit her lip, wondering what to do now. He evidently attacked her earlier, plus took a god hit at Flygon, so he was obviously a threat while in good health. Thing was, being badly injured, he WASN'T a threat now and he'd probably die if she left him like that.

 

"Hmmm..." she muttered, thinking it out.

[evilfusion]

((Erm' date=' exactly why is it impossible to breed new pokemon? Being unable to reproduce without human assistance would actually eliminate them from the Biological classification of 'living things'.))[/b']

 

I actually had the exact same question, because no explanation is given for it. It is just mentally stated as a fact and then reiterated. As far as has been established, the collison did not harm Pokemon at all, merely caused humans to be wiped out. Furthermore, a part of every creature's instinct is to ensure the survival of their specie, not just themselves as individuals. In the case further repopulation of Pokemon is impossible, there is absolutely no point to struggling to survive.

 

Vaporeon ate her fill of the food remaining in the food store and scowled once she had finished. Whoever had used this place for their food...highly wasteful creatures. In a time where every Pokemon was struggling to find their place in the world, someone, or multiple persons, had chosen to leave some of their food to rot. Leaving it to chance another would happen across it and be filled by it? Some misguided act of charity? Unlikely. Charity was not something anyone could afford to give. Those who thought otherwise were misguided. Yet she still could not place why or how this had come to be. The humans had all lived and prospered, yet their extinction had thrown the world out of a loop.

 

Bah, she thought, she should have continued to the human town to reap the spoils there. It would have been more fulfilling than this display of Pokemon wastefulness. It had to just be this area that had been hit so badly. The 'liberation' of trained Pokemon...herself included...the outskirts of human towns would have been hit first by territory wars and other squabbles. No, there were other places in this world that Pokemon such as herself could prosper without running into this feel of decay and emptiness. She would find this place.

[SparkWyvren]

Flygon was slowly returning to his senses. For the first time in hours he could open his eyes. When he looked around, he saw another body laying next to him. Absol! When he looked to his right, he saw a figure looking at him. And for a moment he forgot where and when he was. He remembered the day when he was almost caught by a human. The feeling of despair came right back to him, and he howled"Kayooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!".Then the human looking figure came closer and he awaited his fate.

[Skippy Canoe]

Guys, seriously, you're changing the story too much. Everyone but Flygon, Absol, and Gardevoir should be back at camp. This is a warning. Also, without breeders, Pokemon would have forgotten how to nest and nurture their young themselves, I presume.

 

Gardevoir approached Flygon as he howled. She carefully supported him, and attempted to walk him back.

 

"Are you okay?"

 

As for Absol, Gardevoir didn't care for non-tribe members. So she walked on.

[Snitch]

Alakazam appeared, having teleported to Gardevoir. "Would you like any help?" he asked, raising his hand to ease the weight off of her. He could probably pick up Flygon entirely, but it would strain him, and he needed his energy. So for the moment he focused on easing Gardevoir's journey.

[SparkWyvren]

"No, i'm fine........................" he answered.

This was just too much. First he lost to a lowly Absol then thought that his leader was a dreaded human.....He needed some real rest, not like the one he got while in unconsciousness.

He got up and flew next to Gardevoir and Alakazam, with them supporting him.

 

"What do we have to eat?"

[Snitch]

Alakazam remembered something, digging into the small pouch he had made that hung round his waist. Retrieving three apples from it, he handed one up to Flygon. He glanced at Gardevoir: "We can stop to eat, if you'd like."

[Hydra of Ages]

Guys' date=' seriously, you're changing the story too much. Everyone but Flygon, Absol, and Gardevoir should be back at camp. This is a warning. Also, without breeders, Pokemon would have forgotten how to nest and nurture their young themselves, I presume.[/color']

((...W-...Wha...WHAT? I'm sorry, that makes so little sense it physically hurts. Everyone with a RUDIMENTARY knowledge of biology knows that the basic function of ANY living creature is to reproduce and ensure the survival of their species. You can't "forget" how to nest and nurture, that's like saying a species can forget how to be hungry because they found out how to farm food.

Also, you're telling me that the ENTIRE pokemon biological Kingdom was sustained by BREEDERS? Are you serious? What about the millions of Wild Pokemon that pop out in huge quantities whenever you walk five feet away from a town? Were they just 'random' pokemon who ran away from the Breeding-place-thingy? Not only that, but pokemon are apparently sentient here, even if the basic species survival instincts were somehow bred out of a species by some tragedy, you'd THINK they'd somehow figure out how to solve the problem. Also, if anyone knows anything about animal breeding, the breeder's purpose is more or less just to select matches. The actual mating, birthing and rearing of the young is essentially beyond their control; Breeders do very little practical things, and are more involved in the theoreticals. What parents they need if they want black puppies with blue eyes, for example.

 

Also, exactly how has anyone changed the story? Especially me, considering I'm apparently supposed to be at the camp despite having been attacked by Absol and saved by Flygon, even though those two are apparently supposed to not be around the camp. Not only that, but my app made special mention of the fact Echo likes to nest outside of the main encampment. You haven't given us any particular plotline to focus on at the moment, nothing immediate anyway that pertains to us, so naturally we'd take the time to develop our characters, have early conflicts, etcetera. "Changing" the story would imply that we've drastically drawn attention off the main plot, ignored greater plot threads, violated previously established canon or started an overbearing subplot that impedes on the main one, none of which I can see having been done recently.))

 

 

Echo quirked an eyebrow.

 

"What? You're just going to let him suffer?" she scoffed, pointing a paw at the injured Absol.

"I mean, I can understand why you won't HELP him- he's dangerous, possibly violent, and may be a threat to our security- but that's just the thing. He's still alive, and he might survive. If he does, guess what he'll do? Attack us again, maybe kill one of us."

 

Her back flames crackled a little.

"You can help him and try and endear us to him. Even if he doesn't join us, well at least he'll be less likely to attack us or get in our way. Or, if you think that's too much of a risk, we should just kill him right here and now so he doesn't get into trouble with us later. It's just common sense! We have an opportunity to do SOMETHING here, why in Mew's name would we NOT take it?"

[SparkWyvren]

"Yum!!!!" Flygon took one eagerly and bit into it. It was still quite fresh, unlike the moldy,rotten food he was used to. With his powerful teeth, the apple vanished from sight in less then a minute.

Flygon had two questions left: "What do we do when we get back to base?" and "Where did you get those apples???"

 

OoC: as you may of noticed, Flygon loves to eat.

[Skippy Canoe]

@Blazinghydra: Well, I would've thought that you'd have left with us. But very well to that point, even though I wasn't just referring to you. And, about the biology thing, deal with it. What fun would it be if we could reproduce left and right? That wouldn't be a struggle.

 

Gardevoir nodded, rejecting any food, and left a leftover apple by Absol, and bandaged its arm. Then, she began walking back to the camp, hoping others would try to follow and support each other. Noting that they were in no condition to do such things, she helped support Flygon while he walked. Slowly, they tried making their way back before morning came.

[El Beasto Perezoso]

Kaputops was standing guard by a tree as he saw Gardevoir and the group approach.

 

"Oye, what's this? Oh dear lord what happened out there to you?" he said as he quickly walked over to them. "Assuming it was a rogue, were there any signs of others that may be following you back here to camp?"

[◇ Void ◇]

The Noise of Echo's Ranting was Going into absols chewed Ears which were covered by his Bloody Fur. He Started to Wake Up as A Result; Very Confused and Hurt badly. As his Eye opened Absol saw a Gardevoir, echo and the Flygon that Engaged combat with him. As he stumbled to Get up; His Fur Moved to Reveal what looked like a Collar with a Badge attached to it.

 

"G-Gah...That...Realy..Hurt.." Absol Spoke; Squinting his Eye in pain .

[Hydra of Ages]

((..."Reproduce left and right"? What are we, rabbits? The ability to reproduce doesn't in any way help individuals to survive (mainly because newly-born creatures of any kind are rather useless till they mature. And childbearing females are nearly as useless until they give birth, so in a way, it actually handicaps civilizations), so it wouldn't in any way make the "struggle" any easier. it just helps the species to not go extinct. As it is, surviving without a way to reproduce is pointless, as everyone's going to die anyway and there's no way to replace dead members of the clan.))

 

Echo grumbled to herself. "Better." she muttered. She glanced over at the Absol and rolled her eyes.

 

"Yeah, I'm sure it did. Now hold still, or this is going to hurt a hell of a lot more." she muttered, slinking her body beneath one of his front legs and standing up so the majority of his weight rested on her. She retracted her Flame Quills for the moment, meaning that the other quadruped was able to press against her back without being charred to a crisp, but left the heat spots still warm as reminders of what she could do to him if she got rowdy.

 

She walked, partially carrying the injured Outsider on per back, following the leader and Flygon closely as she could with the additional weight. She grunted once or twice, but otherwise didn't complain.

[Skippy Canoe]

Kao, we left you there with an apple lol. But I guess you can be here. ;D Blazinghydra, quit arguing and rp. You're going to ruin the fun.

 

Gardevoir then remembered the true reason she was back at her old camp. They were being followed! She bolted back down the path, leaving a cloud of dust behind her.

 

After a few hundred feet, Gardevoir fell to her knees in pain. Her foot bandage had ripped open again. But then, she gasped. There was an oran berry right in front of her on the path!

 

Then, she looked down the path. Across from her, about fifteen feet away, was a dangerous looking Vaporeon, and he had also seen the berry.

 

Guys, do not respond to this directly unless you've followed me and only seen the Vaporeon, or you are playing Vaporeon, the rogue outcast.

[evilfusion]

[spoiler=rant of own]I think the "changing the story" has to do with people missing the fact that Gardevoir and Magmar have the entire RP centered around themselves to the point where not only do their posts allow vast amounts of time and travel to occur with only the two of them being involved, but that every character that isn't them is likewise controlled by their actions in mass. As in "Everyone's at camp because our post said so". So yay for me being an outcast. And because there has yet to be a clear storyline or plot at this point, announcing that people are changing things is unfair in an RP, as Blazing already covered. I was even nice enough to not post until the Fearow and Absol incident was over to avoid cutting into the scene since Vaporeon had no significance to the scene. If you're going to criticize an RPer for storybranching, perhaps your posts should stop stalling so much with the plot or, alternatively, hopping time so much that people have no clue what is going on (what was the deal with sleeping and waking up 'hours later' within the space of about one post? Is anyone supposed to be following a time schedule here?).

 

I have a better idea than the "deal with it" approach in regards to breeding, because that's a stupid solution to criticism. Actually, you'd think one of the tribe members reproducing would be a BIGGER struggle because now they have something else, more challenging, to take care of. A struggle is not defined by whether or not your species can reproduce, but rather the hardships faced. I apologize if this seems a touch out of line, but if an RP is controlled too tightly in an absurd and confusing way, there's no point for others to participate because whatever they do is "wrong" unless it follows unwritten, undefined guidelines that only one person knows. Why is humans being wiped out so apocalyptical to the Pokemon specie? And if they can't reproduce...what is their point in existing? A selfish desire to cling to life?

 

 

Vaporeon left the abandoned food store, now devoid of all food. She had nibbled the apples down to their very cores, and even the broken or damaged food had not been spared from her appetite. Hungry or not at the time, she would not let some idiots waste perfectly good food through carelessness or neglect. It would serve them right if they starved because of it. Assuming they were still alive in the first place.

 

Her eyes hardened as she began to walk, no particular destination in mind. Water, that's what she wanted for now. The world was never a perfect place, but now it was an empty one. Did humans truly control whether Pokemon prospered? Had the once independant creatures of the world truly succumb to such a symbiotic relationship with humans that it would destroy them in the end? But she was not like that. Once the bond with her human was gone, she had adapted quickly to the harsher wilderness. It had been a natural click, from seeking creature comforts to focusing on survival.

 

It did not take her long to find a river, deep enough for her to swim a little if she so desired. Her eyes flicked around her surroundings, her web-like ears twitching. Were there other Pokemon around here? Did it really matter?

 

Her eyes caught sight of a berry on the ground and she gazed at it with great indifference. Oran. One of her favorites. It would certainly go to waste if she didn't take it.

[SparkWyvren]

"I was attacked" Flygon said to Kabutops,"And yes, it was a rouge. He is not following us b/c he was lying unconcious when we left him."

 

Seeing the new camp, Flygon rushed to the first found bed, Which was Magmar's , and fell asleep. He did not notice the burn marks on the bed, or the sing on it saying

"Magmar's. Do not sleep in it".

[Skippy Canoe]

Yeah, that's it, evilfusion. Exactly. -_-

 

What fun would it be if one person went to a place, but then others magically appear? I'm trying to make this more realistic, and all I'm getting is criticized. Maybe I should just end this if you guys are going to do this. Sorry about OoC only, but this is outraging me, and I have no RP addition to add.

[Ģค๓blє]

Shut up and deal with it. The rp isn't centered around us. Like Skippy said, people don't know how to travel someone. It's always "and I was next to ...". Now deal with it, and progress in the rp, not just hurry.

 

Magmar got up and looked around. The camp seemed to be suitable for their tribe. Nothing was really out of place but the small cloud of dust that led back to the old camp. It seemed to be nothing, so he ignored it.

 

"Okay... It's nothing," He said, before noticing Flygon in his bed, "FLYGON! Flygon... Eh, we have to enjoy life. I'll let em'."

[Skippy Canoe]

Martial, no. We dealt with a few things by pm. Please don't start an OoC arguement again. Breeding will occur later.

 

Gardevoir turned back, and ran to the camp. Eventually, she came to Magmar, but more announced this to the rest of the camp. "I found an oran berry!"

 

Sadly, the berry would probably be gone when she returned. Either way, they were here.

[dragonofdarkness101]

"Will we stay here then?" piped up Plusle as she scanned the area.

She looked around, it was suitable in her opinion.

She wondered what they were going to do next.

"What should I do now?"

She was quite unsure of herself for she was not used to being in charge, she was used to following orders.

[Skippy Canoe]

Gardevoir had forgotten about Plusle, and noticed a confused look on her face. She approached her.

 

"Plusle, you aren't in charge anymore, but you will be if need be. Please practice leading skills."

 

Gardevoir then saw something frightening. There, at the end of the path, was a ferocious-looking Roserade. She was larger than usual, and had an angry, yet maniacal look on her face.
