Pokemon! High Seas Miracle! [IC Thread/Started/Not Accepting]

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Daniel grinned. [color=#00FFFF]"Yep! I'm ThatGuyWithTheGoggles, known among certain Bug Catching circles as the 'Bug Fanatic'! I absolutely LOVE Bug Pokemon, and I created the website 6 years ago as a way to share information regarding Bug Pokemon between Bug Catchers. Nowadays, we get all sorts of information, but supporting the Bug Catching community is still our mission. In fact, I'm here on a mission from Arti, my mentor and idol. If I can catch an extremely rare Bug Pokemon named Volcarona, which is said to be living somewhere in these Islands, Arti will take me on as his disciple, meaning I will be one step closer to becoming the Castelia City Gym Leader!"[/color] He did a heroic pose, but a strange chirping sound suddenly came from his hair as the yellow spot in his hair started MOVING!!!

Josh had'nt had any success with taking contact with other trainers. Everyone seemed to turn quiet, when he came around. It might be because Kickerizer had a bad day, and everyone saw when he tackled a trainer. Josh and Kickerizer had no option then to run as hell. He decided to go outside of the Pokémon Center. To Proffersor Ivy's lab.

He followed the signs and started running after he got scared for a Metapod that suddently droppes down from a tree without reason. While running, he saw a group of Pokémon Trainers, around his age. He stopped. "Hey! I'm Josh! Can I walk with you?" And he hoped that this group would'nt ignore him.

[Naimo]

Melina was keeping very quiet at the back; although she had recovered a tad bit more now, it was still terrifying to know that a member of their party had a Shinx. Not to mention that one of the guys seemed to have a Pichu with them; fortunately, perhaps, riding on Guardon meant she couldn't see it clearly, and as of now, her mind was calm enough to function properly.

The Rhyhorn was taking it slowly, although he did seem eager to talk to Kori. Melina hadn't really met anyone else yet, but she was determined to not let the Shinx get in the way of her and Duke's potential acquaintanceship. After all, Guardon hadn't meant to hurt them in any way the first time they had met, and she trusted his judgement. If he deemed them to be safe, she would exert herself and make every effort to tackle this problem.

[Quiksilver]

Nathan had noticed Ace wandering away and left shortly after to follow. He caught up with Ace and the older trainer just in time to hear the older guy boast, "Yep, I'm that ThatGuyWithTheGoggles!" Followed shortly about how he was going to become Castelia City's Gym Leader, but Nathan didn't think a lot about that, he was trying to remember where he had heard that name before...

"Wait! You're the Bug Fanatic?" Nathan said, a little too loudly. But he'd just had an epiphany, and you know, when having one of those you were always too loud. "My brother loves you! He says your the number one resource for Bug Catchers like him!" Nathan then noticed people were looking at him because he was shouting, and his cheeks went red and he mumbled quietly, "Sorry."

A second later, he heard a shout over his shoulder and saw another Trainer coming straight for them. He obviously wanted to join his group, so Nate said, "Sure, c'mon over!"

[spoiler=OoC]
I'm not sure which group you're talking to, Mew, so I'm just assuming it's ours.[/spoiler]

Kori sighed, walking out of the Pokémon Centre with everyone else. He kept to the back, one earphone in his right ear and his hair dangling down over his right eye. He was glad no-one thought he was strange for it, his hair was longer than average after all, but decided against it. He pulled his MP3 out of his left pocket and scrolled through the list of songs, before selecting one that seemed to be perfect for the situation. He walked at the same pace as the others, right at the back of the group, nodding his head along to the song from one of his favourite bands, TheLucarioBro's. They weren't exactly heavy, but they were more metal than rock, just how he liked it. He was nodding his head when he was nearly barged away by an Energetic boy running towards the group, only just managing to jump out of the way. When he did, he noticed Melina also at the back of the group, though a lot nearer the front than him, looking very down. He brushed the hair out of the way of his eye's and walked up beside her, watching as she quietly contemplated something. "Something wrong?" Kori asked, breaking Melina out of her thoughts and bringing her to reality.

[Naimo]

"Hmm? Oh, nothing. Guardon just really likes you."

The behaviour of her usually serene Rhyhorn was evidence; he was gently nudging his snout at Kori's ankles, and one could easily suspect that he was really sniffing them. Melina was not one to go against Guardon's judgement; she deemed him to be very prudent, and with more intelligence than the average Rhyhorn. Of course, she had seen him try to go bipedal, but he somehow struggled, and could only just about stand on his hind legs before collapsing forward again. People always said that Rhydon's were much cleverer than Rhyhorns, and Melina was sure that when Guardon finally evolved - they had a long way to go before that day could come - he would be even more intelligent.

Melina decided to keep conversation going. "So, what type of Pokemon do you want to catch?"

[.Corgi]

Imitating the boy in front of him, Josh turned on his cell phone (one with ultra-sensetive touch screen, called mPhone) and turned on something random (a track with a group playing a very unique kind of music, like a Black Metal/Prog Rock hybrid). He drawed everyones attention. "Hello. I'm Josh, and I'm glad you guys did'nt ignore me. Who are you?" he said while pointing, almost poking, at Nathan.

Kickerizer was following Josh as always, trying to get some respect. He got some respect by some of the groups Pokémon, while some almost laughed at him.

[Magnet Soldier]

"I'm not sure." Kori said. "My name, which means Ice, says that I should like Ice pokémon, but I'm not sure. I'd like a Flying Type Pokémon, or a Psychic type pokémon next, but I'd be happy with anything." Kori explained, turning his music down a bit so he could hear the conversation properly. He noticed Rhyhorn nozing at his ankles, and leaned down to stroke Rhyhorn's nose. "He seems really nice...when he's not charging at me." Kori joked, chuckling. With the slight movement of his head, his hair dropped down again, blinding him for a second. In that second, he seemed to have found the biggest stone on the road, kicked it with his foot, and fallen right on his face. He groaned as he stood up, his cheeks red and his hair covering his face again. "Oww." He muttered, grimacing at the obvious embarresment. "Dont worry, I'm fine." Kori said, catching up to Melina again. "What about you? What type do you want next? I'm gonna take a wild guess and say not Electric, so....grass? They work well against lightning."

[Renzoku Kira-]

Since the departure from the Pokémon center Aiden has separated from the rest of the group. He stopped in the Poke mart to grab a snack for the little trip since he hasn't eaten in hours. After he finished his snack he took Empress on a walk around the island taking in the sites. "You know Empress this is a really nice island. I would not mind moving here once we are done exploring the rest of the Orange Islands. Get one of these nice little beach houses move mom and dad down here. They would love this as a retirement home since. With this nice little view all of the Pokémon around constantly since they love them."Aiden stated to his Charmander. Once Aiden was done taking in the sites he saw the group he had left earlier in the day. "Well Empress it seems like we need to head back to the group so we can get our trainer's license, and go get you some new friends." Empress's eyes began to light up at the mention of having other Pokémon join her.

[Pichu]

Austin followed the rest of the group. Pichu wandered back to Austin and rode in his bag. Austin heard the group talking about Pokemon types. Austin spoke up.

"I perfer Electric types. I also want an Eevee." Austin stated to the group hoping they would answer. Pichu wandered away from Austin when he started talking. He wandered into a small area of trees that was too small to call a forest. Pichu strolled the forest and found, an Eevee. But not a normal one. This one was colored silver.

[.Corgi]

Josh started to get annoyed. Almost noone had acctually noticed him. The group was just a bit too big... "Hey, I got to pee... I'm coming soon." Josh did'nt really know why he was saying that, he just knew that everyone would ignore him.
Josh had a big problem. Even since he got Kickerizer, everyone was him as a outsider that could'nt catch a normal Pokémon. He was'nt sure about that right now, but he guessed it was. Or could it be another reason why everyone treated him like that?

After throwing water on a tree in a forest nearby, he searched up the group and joined then again.

[Spartan919]

Ace paused for a second, thinking. His Eevee looked curiously at him, then shook her head and began bouncing around carelessly. "I think I've heard of you before," he said, looking at Daniel. "If it's okay with you, I think I'll just stick to calling you Daniel." Not really listening to hear what the answer was, Ace grabbed Daniel's hand in his, and began shaking it. "Well, nice to meet you, Daniel. I hope we can be good friends." Suddenly he became still, and let his hand fall to his sides. A sad look came over his face. [i]A real friend...[/i] He shook his head, hoping the motion would fling away any unbidden tears. "Anyway...wouldn't that be fun?" He looked up at Daniel, and gave him his warmest, friendliest smile.

[Pichu]

Austin looked around for Pichu. "Pichu?" he said. He though that Pichu was in his backpack so he didn't worry. His phone rang again. It was from his girlfriend. The text read: [i]'Hey Austin! im leaving Mardian South to see my gma! maybe ill c u!'[/i]. Austin laughed and replied: [i]'Good luck with that'[/i].

Austin looked around again. Pichu must have been sleeping in his backpack. Then he felt the bag. Pichu wasn't there. Pichu was.... nowhere! Austin tugged on Ace's shirt. "Umm.... I lost Pichu. You gotta help me look! Please?" Austin said. He had a worried look in his eyes.

[StealthyTyranitar]

"Breaker! Use Scratch!" The pokemon gashed at Yanma, sending it flying to the ground. "Now, use Karate Chop!" The helpless pokemon got hit hard in the side, and was Knocked out. "Go, Pokeball!" One... Two.... Three. It was his first catch! It wasn't as excitig as he thought it would be, but he was still excited. He headed back, and found Ben standing there, with a new grimer at his side. "So, we gonna get our trainer cards now?" "Yep!" Zero replied. He went and got the trainer card, and smiled at his picture. It had 2 Pokemon on his card, while others had only one. He looked for someone to battle, and found a group of people, the same as earlier. "Hey! You guys want some two other people in your group?"" Zero and Ben waited for an answer, hoping they said yes. ( OOC:That's you. And Mew, I feel like you, want to join in a group?)

[.Corgi]

Josh heard something about a missing Pichu. Josh did'nt really like Pichu's, neither did Kickerizer. So they decided to not search. He just walked into a forest at the side of the way the group was walking on. He walked there a while, nobody cared so much. Suddently, he saw a Pokémon. It had yellow skin and brown armor. "An Abra! I've always wanted an Abra!" He sent Kickerizer to attack and weaken the Abra so he could catch it, but the Abra seemed to use Teleport, and went somwhere else. "Oh c•••. Why does things like this always happen to me?" Kickerizer looked at Josh a bit, then he started to walk away. Josh followed, and soon they got back to the group. Josh telled them about the Abra, and some guys acctually did'nt ignore him.

[Pichu]

"Sorry guys! But I need to find my best friend!" Austin said running into the forest. "If you want to help then follow me!" He ran past Josh yelling Pichu. He ran to the end of the forest and back. "Pichu!?" He was about to give up hope when he saw a yellow speck. It was indeed Pichu. And standing before Pichu was an Eevee. A silver Eevee. Austin gasped at the sight. "A shiny Pokemon! An Eevee!" Pichu looked back to Austin and smiled. The Eevee charged at Pichu. Pichu was hit and knocked down. "Pichu!" Austin yelled. "Tackle now!" Pichu stood up and tackle the Shiny Eevee. "Now Pichu use Growl!" Pichu used Growl and Eevee's attack decreased. The Eevee charged at Pichu again. Austin smiled. "Counter it!" Austin yelled. Pichu jumped up and used Tackle from the sky. Eevee was hit and knocked back. Austin grabbed a Pokeball from his backpack. "Go Pokeball!" He yelled throwing the Pokeball at the Shiny Pokemon. Eevee was enclosed inside and the ball started shaking. Pichu and Austin waited..... and waited..... waited.....

Austin returned to the group with a smile on his face. "Ace, Aiden, Nathan. Guess what? I caught a Pokemon." Austin said. "A shiny Pokemon!" He contined throwing his new Pokemon out. The Shiny Eevee stood before the group, with a smile on his face. Pichu clapped and danced. "I found Pichu a new friend!"

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Daniel smiled, putting the laptop away, and shook Ace's hand. Curiously, a static shock coursed through Ace's arm the moment he touched Daniel's hand. [color=#00FFFF]"It's nice to meet you too. Say, I need to head over to Kumquat Island, which is practically next door, to get a new phone. Would you like to come with me? From what I've read, Pokemon Trainers either travel alone or form small parties of 3-5."[/color] However, when the Shiny Pichu came out, a bolt of electricity shot from the yellow patch at the Pichu, and the patch started shaking. [color=#00FFFF]"Whoa! Hey! Settle down! It's just a Pichu!"[/color] Daniel grimaced as Ace, who was still shaking the man's hand, received a shock that shot immense amounts of pain into his nervous system, as well as the feeling that something was agitated and upset. Daniel blushed as another bolt fired off at the Pichu. [color=#00FFFF]"I'm so sorry! I can totally explain!"[/color]

[GreyCat]

Duke blinked at Daniel's hair. He has noticed a small yellow patch before, but he thought it was his hair style. He had seen much stranger ones. Recently. Not that he was calling any names. But hair dye didn't move. At least, not normal dye. And people didn;t randomly shoot off electricity. At least, so he thought. "Daniel, your hair is moving," Duke commented slowly, ready to jump aside at a moment's notice. If Daniel didn't know what it was, he might react to it like he did to grimer. And Duke had been run over enough for on day. "It is supposed to move?"

[legolover09]

Alexander had left the pokemon center after Iron-Friend was healed because he had no money. He hadn't said a word since leaving and had fallen asleep under the stars in the wilderness. After waking up, his stomach growled and he called out for his mom. But she wasn't there. He started crying and crying. Crying didn't serve a point, but he didn't know that. After a while, he got up and started walking back to the city. It was a small island, but there were many people in the streets. He had never noticed that before. People jostled him around and yelled at him to move faster. These islands had been more popular than ever before. He walked around the city for hours, before finally working up the courage to beg for some food. He received one loaf of bread from a baker, after an hour of standing in the cold, and scurried off. He was scared and hid in an alleyway and started chewing on his bread. He finished half before giving some to Aron, and then saved the rest for later. He fell asleep, cold and hungry.

[.Corgi]

Josh had just seen a trainer (called Austin) catch a Eevee. "Come, Kickerizer, lets go find that Abra!" Josh and Kickerizer walked smoothly through the forest, trying to catch a glimpse of the Abra. After a while, they found the Abra. "Kicker, use Tackle!" The suprise attack was effective, and the Abra was too confused over what happened too use Teleport. "Kicker! Punch him as hard as you can!" Kickerizer punched the Abra in it's chest fast and powerfully. The Abra almost fainted, and Josh tossed his Poké Ball. It was an success, and Josh had chaught the Abra. "I think I'm gonna call it Psynon."
Josh went back to the group and showed his new Abra off.

[Spartan919]

Ace was stunned by the shock, and his hair stuck out for a second. He brushed it back down, before noticing something: there was something small, yellow, and...moving in Daniel's hair. Unfazed by the earlier shock, he shuffled his weight. "It's alright, Daniel. Hey...what's that in your hair? It's yellow and moving...is that what shocked me?" While waiting for an answer, Ace noticed that his Eevee was sniffing around the ground. Curious, Ace looked at her. "You catch a scent, Volpecula?" She continued to sniff, not replying, so Ace ignored her for now. Turning back to Daniel, he answered his new friend's first question. "I think we should wait until we get our licenses before we go anywhere. I really don't want to get in trouble."

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Daniel reached up into his hair and grabbed the squirming yellow patch, trying to to calm it down. The moment he finally cupped the patch in his hands, his hair unspiked and went flat. He continued to hold the patch inside of his hands, then slowly opened it up to reveal a yellow ball of fluff. The fluff ball uncurled to reveal four eyes and four blue-tipped legs. [color=#00FFFF]"Guys, this is Chu, my Joltik. She's my Pokemon."[/color] He gently stroked the little creature with a finger, though fear was obviously in her eyes. [color=#00FFFF]"Don't crowd around her. She's quite shy, which is why she likes to take up residence in my hair, feeding off of static electricity and other things."[/color] The little electric tick chirped contently, but was still apprehensive of the other people around her.

[Pichu]

Austin's Eevee ran over to Volpecula. Pichu followed. "Eva!" "Picha!"

Austin looked down at the Pokemon. He smiled. "The Pokemon seen to like each other." He saw Josh caught an Abra. "Hey Joshie, bring out Kickerizer and Abra and let the Pokemon play." Austin said. He turned back to the Pokemon and pulled out a notepad. He was watching their behavior. "4:02 pm. Eevee starts a game of Poketag. Others join in." he said as he wrote on the pad.

[Spartan919]

Ace smiled as he watched Volpecula begin a game with Austin's Pokemon. Turning back to Daniel, he looked at his hair more carefully, and was able to make out a small yellow spider-like shape in his hair. "I see it," he said, calmly so as not to startle the Pokemon. He reached a hand gently out, offering his arm to the Pokemon. "Chu, huh?" He smiled at the Pokemon. "I like that name. And it...fits. How did you get her?" he asked, turning his head to face Daniel. While waiting for an answer, he looked back at Chu. He moved his hand a little closer. "Come on, little Chu. It's okay, come out and say Hi to me. I promise I won't hurt you." He made sure to keep his voice soft and reassuring.

[GreyCat]

"Wow! A Joltik! I've never seen one!" Duke eagerly looked at the little thing, all but panting at her, slipping into breeder mood. "Joltiks are not only the smallest pokemon ever discovered, but they are also the only electric-bug types in existence, aside from their evolution, of course." He got all wide eyed as he looked her over. "And she's so cute! And healthy too. You can see that you take good care of her. Look at the glossiness to her hair, and the sheen in her eyes. Wow!"
