Lunar realized a little late that Hermes was going for him next. He let out a little squeak and fled. An Eevee's natural ability was Run Away, but his was Adaptability. Unfortunately for him. But simultaneously, he was also a tricky little thing. He veered off the left, making a sharp turn, then whirled around suddenly to face Lyra and Zane. <Oh my God!> His mouth hung open. As soon as he was sure the Zigzagoon was looking, he would run again.
For once, Lyra had nothing to say. Instead she savored the silence, watching their Pokemon play under the moonlight and the artificial lighting. She was able to see through Lunar's ploy pretty quick, especially considering how he was looking at her and unless there was a giant monster coming up behind her, or she and Zane had suddenly started making out on the park bench, he had no reason to be gaping like that. The first one was more likely than the last, and she smirked to herself, a little laugh released from her throat. |

Zane raised an eyebrow at Lyra, the laugh was probably at the Eevee. He got up to leave when he noticed the Eevee staring at him funny. He looked at it then noticed, once it scramed....Hermes was coming at him.
<Whoa! Look out boss!> Hermes yelled. He couldn't stop himself, he slidded into Zane's legs, causing him to trip and fall. Zane let out a groan of pain. He landed on his back, which wasn't the best place considering the scar that was on it was still very sore to the touch. He sat upright slowing and rubbed his head, he glared at Hermes who just gave a look and a nervous laugh. <Heh, sorry boss.>

Perfect! He'd avoided the Zigzagoon with the skill and grace of a master. Lunar chuckled oddly to himself, pleased with his quick thinking. Unfortunately it looked as if the normal-type was now headed straight for his trainer. The Eevee winced sympathetically at the collision, ears twitching. <Oops,> he said. That hadn't quite been his intention.
Lyra had turned her head to look at Zane when he got up, but then Hermes ran full blast into him, causing him to go toppling over. She might have laughed if not for the fact that the other trainer was obviously in pain. She scrambled to her feet out of reflex, the jacket covering her shoulders falling off to rest on the bench. "Oh jeez, are you alright? Here." She reached down with one cold hand, offering to help him up. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she realized she was partly responsible for it because of Lunar's actions. "I'd ask if you had a good fall, but now isn't the time for my bad sense of humor," she said apologetically.

Zane rubbed his head. A nice bruise would sure be there in the morning. His back was very painful right now, he tried to ignore that as Lyra held out a hand for him. He took it and slowly got up, once in his feet; he flinched. The scars on his back were painful. He turned to Lyra and shook his head. "It isn't your fault, Pokemon act on their own will. No matter how much we try to control that they always act on their own." He said.
Hermes glared at the Eevee. Oh he was so going to tag that thing now! He bolted at the Eevee, running past Lyra's legs he went for the Eevee. He pounced at her, more of a Tackle then pounce though.
::zigzagoon:: Tackle'd Lunar.

"It isn't your fault, Pokémon act on their own will. No matter how much we try to control that they always act on their own." She nodded, taking notice of how much pain he seemed to be in. "Sometimes I think being a Trainer is worse than being a parent. Not only do your Pokemon not always listen to you, but they can very easily beat you up," she said wryly. "You can't say that about every five year old." It was more rewarding, she added silently to herself, to become Pokemon Master. She jumped backwards when Hermes bolted past her, nearly slipping and falling. Lyra righted herself, watching the Zigzagoon. "Looks like this might get messy," she observed.
Lunar also noticed how the game of tag had turned more dangerous as the other Pokemon barreled straight at him. He sidestepped the attack. <So you're gonna play dirty, huh?> He taunted. He kicked dirt up in the Zigzagoon's face.
Lunar used Sand Attack!

Zane nodded then flinched again. "Argh. H-Hermes can take care of himself." Zane said through the pain. God, he just had to land on his back, the memories from the attack was coming back to him again. He held his head to try and make himself forget it again. Don't remember it, it only brings more pain. He reminded himself through clenched teeth.
Hermes yelled. The Sand-Attack had got him right in the eyes. <Ack! Why you little...!> He ran in circled to get it out of his eyes. Then, he ran off away from the group and jumped into the pool with Astro. Astro jumped out and Hermes poked his head back out. Sighing happily now that the sand was out of his eyes.

He sure did seem to be in a lot of pain. He couldn't have landed that hard, could he? She was momentarily distracted from the tag fight by this thought. "Are you sure you're okay?" She asked. "You should sit down if it hurts that much." She reached out to touch his arm, but then withdrew. She was becoming too familiar with this person she only met a few minutes ago.
Lunar stuck his tongue out at the Zigzagoon. <That's what you get for unnecessary violence!> He called out, ever the White Knight. Farther off, Red lifted her head from where she had dozed off. The metal bird loudly rustled her feathers and called out to Lunar.
<Hey, Lunar, what's going on...?> |

Zane shook his head, the pain was slowly going away now. He felt a warm hand come by his arm, then quickly it went it away. He looked at Lyra and managed a nodded. "It's fine now. Thanks for your concern though." Zane said. "It happens every now and than." Then he just happened to look at all of Lyra's Pokemon when his eyes stopped on the Skarmory. Oh God, the memories were flooding back now. Zane quickly looked away, his hair fell in his face as he did. "I didn't know you h-had a Skarmory."
Hermes grumbled and complained as he got out of the pond. He shook himself, getting the water off og his fur. He growled at the Eevee. <OH shut up!> He yelled over.

Well, at least he seemed better now. But wait, his expression changed again... "I didn't know you h-had a Skarmory." "....is something wrong?" She asked simply. "I mean, it's kind of obvious something is, but...?" There wasn't much of a reason for this behavior, unless he'd had a bad experience with a Skarmory before. They were known to be rather violent. Since that was probably the problem, she pulled the Skarmory's Pokeball out of her belt and returned her. She pocketed the ball once more.
So why had Lyra put Red back in her ball? Lunar tilted his head, wondering, ignoring the Zigzagoon at the moment. Then he remembered. <You're still It, remember?> He called back, all threats forgotten. |

Zane shook his head, making himself snap out of it. "Sorry." Zane said, turning back to Lyra. "I...I was attacked by a Skarmory before. It didn't end well..." He trailed off.
Hermes tilted his head then remembered, they were playing tag! He then looked at the Eevee and bolted as fast as he could towards it.

"I...I was attacked by a Skarmory before. It didn't end well..." She nodded. That was kind of what she figured. "Well, if it makes you feel any better, my Skarmory was most likely raised in captivity. I'm a dirty rotten cheater and I bought her." Her lips turned up in another brief smile. To be honest, Skarmory was a favorite Pokemon of hers. She admired their ferocity and their cunning. "Oh. Your back?" She asked, not wanting to invade his privacy but still curious.
Lunar let out a strangled squeak as the Zigzagoon went straight for him. His energy was spent and he waited for his inevitable downfall, not trying to run. All of a sudden, a shadow loomed over the Eevee and knocked him out of the way. The Croconaw nodded in satisfaction at a job well done, and let the Zigzagoon go after her instead. Lunar was too slow, he wouldn't make the game any fun if he was It. Jill grinned, and it was made all the more disturbing by her snaggleteeth. |

Zane nodded slowly. "Yes. It happened quite a long time ago but I have scars to prove it." Zane said. It happened a long time ago, even before he started his Pokemon journey. Though it still haunts him he tries to push it out of his mind.
Hermes skidded to a stop. What was this? Another Pokemon was taking the hit for the Eevee. He smirked and then bolted at his new target. He was tagging someone for sure.

"Yes. It happened quite a long time ago but I have scars to prove it." She sat back down on the bench. "That's too bad," she said sincerely. She looked at her hands. "Can't say I can relate that to any of my experiences." She stood up, walking farther off. Then she pulled Red's pokeball out again, releasing the Pokemon inside once again. The Skarmory blinked at her, confused, and Lyra reached one hand up to stroke her beak. She was rewarded with an affectionate nuzzle from the young bird. "See? You can trust her."
Jill stood straight and tail, and when the Zigzagoon touched her she didn't move an inch. <Oh no. I'm It.> She mocked Hermes, but without malice. <Better run!> She lumbered off after the closest Pokemon, which happened to be George. |

Zane stared at the large metal bird. He blinked a second, like he was trying to gather his thoughts when he shook his head. How can he trust a Skarmory? He slowly held out his hand for the Skarmory to touch. Raising it higher to pet it.
Hermes bolted away now. He scrammed to find Flore to warn her that there was a new 'it' Pokemon. He laughed tauntingly as he ran.

The Skarmory stretched her neck out to touch the young man's hand, and when he moved to stroke her cold head shelet out a noise that sounded almost exactly like a purr. She wasn't sure why he seemed so reluctant to touch her, but it seemed to be what her trainer wanted, and what Lyra wanted was what Red wanted. "Her name is the Red Baron, but I usually just call her Red." The girl told him. "Like I said, she's really gentle. I think you have more to worry about with Jill over there than Red." She gestured toward the Croconaw, who was currently chasing George. As a Totodile Jill had bitten Lyra on numerous occasions.
Speaking of the tag game, Flore had been on the outskirts for a while. She turned when Hermes approached. <It's time to get back in the game!> She laughed. Jill wasn't fast, but she was persistent. <We should get your friend the Staryu in on the game.> |

Zane just patted the large steel Pokemon on the head, not really wanting to do anything else with it. It would take some time if he was going to get over the attack but it was a start.
Hermes found Flore and stopped next to her. He scoffed at the idea of Astro joining them. <Please,> He said. <That Staryu won't do anything but battle.> He said with a scowl.

Red found herself being patted on the head by the young man. She looked at Lyra and met her eyes, and the girl gave a little shrug. "Oh yeah!" She said, just remembering. "We've been working on flying, and check it out!" She couldn't help but be a little excited, things would be a lot easier if she could fly around on the Skarmory's back. She went around, climbing on with relative ease, and wrapped her legs around the bird's armored neck. Then the Steel-type flapped her wings, lifting them about a foot off the ground. "I figure it won't be long until we can actually fly!" Lyra said. She couldn't help but be passionate about Pokemon.
Just then, George darted underneath the Skarmory's stomach, and Jill followed after. But instead of going under, she banged her head on Red's chest, causing her to panic. Lyra's grip on the bird failed, and she went plummeting to the ground for the second time that week. She let out a yelp of pain as she landed, barely stopping herself from banging her head. "Okay... that needs to stop happening."
<That Staryu won't do anything but battle.> The Chikorita looked at Hermes. <Then why don't we make him think it's a battle?> She asked, cocking her head. They could probably pull it off. They were smart. |

Zane rushed over to Lyra's side. "You ok? Here, let me help you up." He said, offering his hand out for Lyra to grab ahold of. His icy blue eyes on hers.
Hermes smirked. Oh this could be fun. He nodded and scarmbled over to the pond where Astro was lying. <Hey buddy, old friend, pal!> Hermes started out. Astro popped himself out of the pond and snarled. <What do you want now?> He demanded. Hermes snickered and tugged on Astro. <Come on, help me fight this battle, please? I know how much you love to.> Astro scowled. Hermes was up to something for sure.

"You ok? Here, let me help you up." Well, at least he seemed the slightest bit worried. She grimaced and looked up at the sound of his voice, accidentally locking eyes with him. Again, it was a good thing her poor blood circulation kept her from blushing. She took his hand, getting to her feet. "Yeah, I'm fine. That's the second time this has happened." She scowled. She rubbed her back, stretching out a bit so as to ease the already fading pain. In front of them, Red had calmed down and was now approaching her trainer with a painfully apologetic look in her eyes. She looked so ashamed, the girl couldn't do much but smile and pat her. "It's cool, it's cool. Wasn't your fault, both times."
The Chikorita watched the Zigzagoon get his teammate riled up. She had a feeling she could handle it if it got out of control, and not just because of her type advantage. <Hah! Like you're worthy of battling me!> She provoked the Staryu, sticking out her tongue. |

Zane nodded, good thing she wasn't hurt. He raised an eyebrow as Lyra looked at funny again but shook it off. "You should practice some more before you really do fly." Zane explained.
Astro scowled. <I am more than worthy!> He shouted. Hermes just stood there snickering. Ah how funny it was to see Astro angry. So enjoyable.
