The peaceful strumming of a guitar filled the air on route one and a short brown haired girl walked down the dirt road, eyes watching the stars overhead. It was a fairly simple tune but one that she put heart and soul into none the less. Pausing for a moment in her steps she looked down the road, song still strumming away. A grin appeared on her face as she suddenly changed the tune and after a few bars brought her voice to add to the intensity.
"Love of mine Someday you will die But I'll be close behind I'll follow you into the dark No blinding light Or tunnels to gates of white Just our hands clasped so tight Waiting for the hint of the spark"[/color] She gave herself a soft nod and started walking once more. The moon the only light on the road. As a girl, one might class her as someone who would be afraid of the dark, but she openly welcomed it... As long as it was outside and natural. Nevoa was a chosen insomniac, choosing to not sleep. She'd much rather play well into the night, watching the stars. She'd continue strumming the song, long after her voice had died away. Preferring once more to walk only to the sound of the night and her guitar, she wouldn't have it any other way. Whether a Pokémon or other trainer found her, or heard her, she didn't care. Nor would she probably notice. Too busy in her own musical world. Just her, her music, and the night sky to guide her. ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ [/center][/size]

At night, especially such peaceful nights like these, pokemon that had worked all day foraging went to bed and snoozed. However, there were some that preferred to get up at night to hunt and go about their ways without running into their predators.
Meowth was one of such creatures, and one right now was busily picking berries from an Oran tree and humming to himself. However, he heard a lovely sound traveling through the trees and couldn't help but want to explore the source of it. He nibbled the last of the berry he had been munching on, held three more, then went racing towards Nevoa. When he got there, he was careful not to make the bushes rustle too much. He sat and listened to her song, ears twitching and face morphing into a grin.

Nevoa heard nothing that the Meowth had done. Even if it had been shooting cannons at her, she'd probably take no notice at all. She only strummed. She only breathed. She only took in the sight of the night sky. Nothing seemed to phase her as she played and walked, walked and played.
Her brown eyes, drew themselves away from the sky for a moment, gazing ahead down the worn, dirt path. Off in the distance she could make out the dim lights of the city ahead. Inwardly she frowned. The closer she'd get to the city, the brighter the lights and the dimmer the stars would be.
Her hand dropped from the guitar, music ceasing. She stood, in the middle of the path, for a long while saying nothing, just gazing ahead. Sure it could take one or two days to walk the path (with her slow speed she'd be lucky to make it there in a week) but that would mean that she'd have no night sky... What was she suppose to look at when she refused to sleep?
Stubbornly, she stomped her way to a rather large oak tree and plopped herself onto her butt right at it's base. She was going to enjoy the sky for as long as she could and no lame city was going to steal it from her... Not matter if it was a few miles ago.
Now the only thing to bother her mind was what song to play next?

The meowth that had listened to her music felt a surge of dissapointment as the music stopped. She peeked out of the bush and watched the strange human as she stared at the city. A patient kitty, she sat there until the trainer made a move and sat down at a tree nearby. Meowth snuck around until she was behind that same tree, mustering up the courage to speak to the girl that had played such sweet music.
Finally audacious enough to confront her, the white cat came around and nudged the human's leg. <Excuse me... how did you make such a pretty noise?> Asked the cat, staring at Nevoa's eyes as they shone with star's reflections.

Hmm? Nevoa had just started chewing on her lip, trying to think of a song, when the Meowth nudged her leg. One eyebrow rose in the air as she watched the Pokémon. Weren't Pokémon normal... skittish of humans? She thought in confusion.
When the Pokémon spoke however realization dawned on her. She gave a warm smile to the cat like Pokémon and adjusted her guitar. "This here is a guitar, and to play it you either pluck a string..."
[/color] She did as she instructed, a clean note hanging in the night air. Before she'd speak again she'd cut off the note, stilling the string. "Or you can graze them in a way."[/color] She ran her fingers down the length of all the strings. Each note in tune. "To play a song, you choose the string or strings you want and do either of the two methods before. To change the notes, you use your other hand and hold down the cords in the spots you want."[/color] To reinforce her words, she took her eyes off the Pokémon too gaze down at the neck. Putting her fingers into motion, she started playing a fairly simple tune. It didn't have a name but it didn't really matter much even if it did. Gazing back up at the Pokémon as the last few lines closed in the song, she waited to see if it had anything to say. ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ [/center][/size]

Though he was still a bit shy and nervous, his curiosity was starting to became overpowering. What a wondrous noise that was! How her fingers flowed through the strings, making them vibrate in such a way that his pupils visibly widened in amazement. A part of him, though he wouldn't admit it, wanted to attack the string right there and then. The song was soothing and pleasant enough to make him wait until the kind girl had finished.
<May I have a try?> He asked, though he was already up against the girl's leg with his tail brushing against her side. The Meowth couldn't resist plucking the thinnest string on the end of the instrument, but there was a problem. His claws were out. The string instantly snapped back and he felt a sharp recoil against his paw.
Yowling, he scampered backwards with teary eyes, holding the injured paw close to his mouth. Ohhh, he regretted that. That he did.

Nevoa had looked up too late. When she had stopped playing she had expected the Meowth to be where she saw it last, by her leg... Not right by her side. She didn't have enough time to stop the cat Pokémon and the horrid sight that erupted before her might as well had shattered her heart.
She didn't notice the pokemon's howl of pain, she only stared dead panned at her guitar that laid flat on her lap. The smallest string was broken, curled up on itself at the top of the neck. She didn't have a spare for that string.... She would be walking around with a broken stringed guitar for a few days before she reached the next city.. She wouldn't get her hopes up there either, not many towns had music shops. The likely hood the next one did was slim if anything.
Nevoa didn't move. Nor did it seem she was breathing or blinking. She only stared at the broken string. Her chocolate colored eyes didn't water, she wasn't silently sobbing to herself. She felt... nothing... No anger at the wild pokemon, no grief at the lose, nothing. She only felt that something had be taken from her, as if she had been robbed from something and it's place in her heart laid empty.

{{ooc/ that tugged at my heart strings, lul D: }}
The meowth ceased paying attention to HER injured paw and looked back at the human, who was staring emotionlessly at the guitar she'd just ruined. A pang of pure guilt shot through her heart, and she stood still wondering what she could do to quell such feelings. Then, suddenly, an idea came to her.
She crept slowly back to the human, though still kept her distance, fearing that she might be at danger if she was too close. <Maybe... I can fix your guitar,> Suggested the cat meekly, feeling another surge of guilt run through her at the mention of the instrument that was so beautiful, yet ruined so easily by her carelessness. <If you'll accept one of my whiskers, which I've grown since my birth, maybe it can replace your string.>

At the voice of the cat pokemon, Nevoa looked up. Help? How was it suppose to help her? Her brown eyes gave a slightly hopeful glance at the Meowth. Maybe it was the right string... In the middle of the forest? No, but there's always some hope... Right?
Whiskers? Nev's eyes glanced down at the whiskers on the cat. Her frown returned. "Sorry but I don't think they're long enough. See has to go from this bridge here -points- to this one -points again-. Thanks though. Means a lot."
[/color] Standing up, she placed the guitar on back by the strap. "Well I have to get to the next town to face the gym leader. Have a good night for me.. Alright?"[/color] Giving the tan cat a hopeful smile she looked back up at the sky. Least that never broke on her... Though now that she said that it would be just her luck to have meteors rain from the sky at the very moment.... Her eyes looked quickly over the open sky... No meteors... Safe... ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ [/center][/size]

Meowth heard the trainer's rejection of her whisker and looked down, trying to keep her tears in. She'd destroyed that beautiful, magnificient guitar, and the human was still being nice to her. It would have hurt less if she'd sent her away with a slap.
Suddenly, the human stood, and Meowth looked up as the girl smiled at her. She nearly choked. <Please, wait!> She cried, following the trainer at her legs. <There must be some way I can make it up to you...> She continued, a sparkle of hope in her eyes.

Nevoa had stepped onto the path when she looked down at the Meowth that had spoken once more. "You don't have to do anything. It's fine. I've broken my fair share of strings on my guitar, no need to cry over spilled milk right?"
[/color] Only after did she say it did she realize that the spilled milk saying probably wouldn't work on a cat Pokémon... "I guess if you really want to make it up for me you can tag along and we can think on it?"[/color] It came out more as a question and Nev gave a hesitant shrug and laugh. Taking a step or two away from the wild pokemon, heading towards the dim and distant lights on the horizon, she gazed back waiting to see if it would follow her or not. ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ [/center][/size]

The Meowth placed her fist in her paw in a gesture suggesting that she'd come up with the idea herself. <Yes! I can come with you!> She repeated, excitement clearing the previous anguish on her face. Whiskers twitching, she clamored to Nevoa's side and walked with her.
<Does this mean you'll catch me? I like adventures!> Said meowth, once hearing from a friend about how once she'd been owned by a trainer and had traveled to all sorts of places before he released her. Oh, how she longed to see the world! Just the thought of it made her stretch her tail and fluff the fur on her neck in excitement.

Smiling at the Meowth as it follow her, Nevoa was about to continue walking again when the cat spoke of being captured. She paused again, leg up in the air at a half step. "Do you... Want to be caught?"
[/color] She questioned. Her brown eyes gazed down at her feet, only then realizing one was still in the air and hastily placed it back on the ground. A small blush of embarrassment washed over her face as she breathed a sigh of relief for it being dark. Looking back at the cat Pokémon she waited for a response to her question. Sure it liked adventures but that didn't mean it wanted caught... Even if it sounded like it.. And all the signs were pointing to it... And the Meowth asked if it would be... And... Well you get the picture, Nevoa was slow when it came to certain things. ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ [/center][/size]

The Meowth nodded enthusiastically at Nevoa's question. <Yes, catch me, catch me!> She repeated, jumping from side to side in excitement. <And someday, when you fix your geetar, I want to listen to more songs!> She added, already longing for that sweet, sweet sound once more.

Nevoa gave a small smile and pulled out an empty pokeball. "Well welcome to the team then!"
[/color] Holding the pokeball out in front of her, she pressed the front button and tossed it into the air towards the Meowth. ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ (Super short post is short)[/center][/size]

Meowth purred as the pokeball hit her gently on the head, opened up, and coated her in a red light. She dissapeared into the capsule, which descended to the dusty ground and hardly rocked before the shining red light on its button faded back to white. Meowth had already made her choice, after all.
You caught a Meowth!
::meowth:: Name: Gender: ::female:: Type: ::enormal:: Level: 7 Ability: Pick Up/Technician Attacks: Scratch, Growl, Bite, Charm Personality: Easily Excitable, Clumsy
There was a rustling in the trees nearby. Check it out or move on?

Bending done to pick up with pokeball she smile, brushing off the little bit of dirt that clung to it. "And presto, you're caught"
[/color] She gave the ball a small grin before laughing to herself. "Presto... Yeah, welcome to the team Presto."[/color] Looking down the road, Nevoa sighed. It was going to be a long night without her guitar... She ran a hand through her hair, ruffling it slightly though not enough to do any frizz action to it. No one wants that. She began walking, her converse taking her down the beaten path, her hands stuffed in her striped jacket's pockets. Her chocolate brown eyes watched the sky above, maybe she'd see a shooting star and she could wish for a new string... The rustle in the trees near by startled her but she made not motion to check it out. If anything she walked a bit faster. A lone 19 year old at night in the woods was easy prey for creepers and she wasn't about to be raped. Nope nope. ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ [/center][/size]

A clefairy that had been spying on Nevoa and Meowth ever since the two had the guitar dispute was following the human, inner instinct telling her that the string's breaking had made her sad. Oh, how she wanted to help. Then, she had an idea.
She stood near the path, then wished with all her heart that the guitar would be restored to its former glory. Suddenly, stars swirled through the air around her and traveled over to Nevoa's instrument, connecting the string back together as if the snap had never happened. Clefairy then bounced with glee towards the trainer, crying out for joy because her wish had come true. <I hope you are happy now, lady!> She said, a pure clefairy-like smile upon her face as she did a dance around Nevoa.

Nevoa didn't notice the fixing of the guitar, she didn't notice the stars that surrounded it and she sure didn't want to know who the rapist was hiding in the bush. Instead she continued walking forward, trying to make it seem like she was paranoid.
However that didn't work with a talking pink Pokémon appeared, dancing around her. Scaring the wits out of her caused a scream to erupt from the brunette's throat. "Oh my gosh! Don't sneak up on me!"
[/color] Nev's heart pounded in her chest as she clenched the front of her shirt with right hand, her chocolate eyes wide with freight. It would take another few seconds before she would breath properly, in which she would finally speak again. "I'm sorry for freaking out. Hehe."[/color] She rubbed the back of her head hesitantly before adding to the statement. "I'm sorry. You said I should be happy now? Did I miss something?"[/color] Confusion took over as the primary emotion on her face. What did she miss?... Besides the Clefairy appearing from thin air that is... ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ [/center][/size]

Clefairy tilted her head a bit, disbelieving that the trainer could have missed the beautiful lights that had flown around her guitar. <Why did you look so afraid? Am I scary?> The pink fairy Pokémon did an elegant twirl-like dance around the trainer.
At her question, she replied excitedly, <Your guitar, lady... magical spirits fixed it!> as if she'd just found out about this herself. <Look, look!> She pointed her claw at the guitar that Nevoa was carrying.
