Ripple was released from the Ekan’s grip and fell to the floor with a light plop. He was tired and sore from the battle. Kai scooped him up in her arms, comforting him. “You did well Ripple, I’m proud of you,” She smiled. “Skitty! Come on, we need to find some berries.” She held the Poliwag close and waited for the Skitty to join them before they continue the search for berries.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . R e s i x [/size][/right][/b] There was a sudden movement in the nearby bushes. Upon closer inspection, it would appear that one of the bushes was a completely different colour than the rest, and seemed to be of the plastic variety.
A pair of binoculars inched out from within the plastic bush, zooming in on the anorexic 15-year old.
"Mmmmm," a male voice grumbled, and it's owner licked his lips.

Skitty happily followed behind, but took a look at the strange-looking bush before doing so. The movement of the mechanical instrument Syl was using gave her the shivers, but she didn't suspect anything much from the phenomenon. Picking up the pace, she walked next to Ripple. Her eyes checked around for berries that may be hiding.

The three of them traveled a few more feet before stumbling upon a fruit bearing tree. It was Kai that was the first to notice it. “I think I found something for you guys to eat,” She said staring up at the tall tree. Now how do we get the food? She wondered. Ripple was looking up at the berries with delight. <Those are Oran berries!> His excitement bubbled over.
Kai nodded. The berries were too high up for any of them to reach, but the closest tree had lower branches which Kai could climb. “Wait here, ok?” She set Ripple down and moved to the next tree. The first branch was at about eye level with Kai, and it took a lot of her strength to hoist herself up upon it. From there it got a little easier.
<Becareful!> Ripple called from below.

<<ftop>> The bush twitched violently. Binoculars peeked out even more, trying to keep sight of their intended target (especially a particular area of her backside).
Suddenly sprouting skinny, jean-covered legs, the bush crept closer. The closer it got, the more it seemed to twitch, until the binoculars fell unceremoniously to the ground.
"Shit," the bush swore, and a hand reached out to snatch up the dropped item. <<fbot>>

Skitty smelled the sweet scent of Orans when Kai noticed it, nose twitching in excitement. She'd completely missed this tree - perhaps it was downwind before. In any case, it was not her job to pluck them, and she waited anxiously for the girl to pick one for her.
Suddenly, though, she heard a dull plunk from afar. Her ears pricked up, and she turned to see the bush that had now grown a hand. <Huh?> She mewled, and decided to investigate the matter. She definitely scented another person, and she daintily sniffed the trail until she found a man with long, red hair hiding behind the plastic disguise. She hissed to alert the girl, thinking he was a danger to her.

The Skitty’s mew barely reached Kai’s ears. “I know you’re hungry, Im working on it,” She said with some frustration. She was edging along a thin, weary old branch towards the oran berry tree. Ripple could see the disaster unfolding, <Oh no! She’s going to fall!>. Kai’s hand reached out to snag an oran berry. Her fingers had just wrapped around a berry and a smile crossed her lips when- snap! A broken tree branch and Kai, clutching the berry, came crashing down.

_ _ _ _ _ _ . R e s i x [/size][/right][/b] All at once, Syl's head popped out from the top of the bush. Eyebrows knit together, his nose wrinkled at Skitty.
"What are you looking at, hotshot? Go on, move, you're blocking my view," he snarled, stepping out of the bush entirely and dusting himself off. A plastic leaf still sticking out of his hair, he swaggered confidently over to Kai.
...And stared at her through the binoculars.

{{ooc/ LOL <333}}
Skitty jumped backwards as Syl insulted her so blatantly. <Well, I never!> She huffed, sticking her nose into the air and walking daintily back to Kai, whom she expected had obtained the berry by now. She had; the berry was encased in her fingers. <Why, is that for me?> She meowed.
The cat felt the strange man's presence near them, however, and looking up, she saw him and his binoculars fixed straight on Kai. The guy clearly had no shame.

Kai groaned, lying on her back with her eyes shut. She felt warm sunlight poor over her, easing away the pain of the fall slightly. She could almost doze off here…that is till the greedy Skitty appeared at her side bugging her for the berry.
The berry was soft, it felt ripe and pleasant. It would’ve made a nice snack for Kai herself, had she not had Pokémon to look after that is. She extended her arm in the direction of the Skitty’s voice, unwilling to open her eyes. “Here, share it with Ripple though, will you?” Ripple was still a tad sore from its earlier battle.
It was about that time that Kai realized something wasn’t right. She had laid in the summer sun several times that summer. The sun always shown on her eyelids brighter than this… Something must be casting a shadow.
Kai peeked an eye open in curiosity. She was startled to see Syl standing above her. Her eyes grew wide with a look similar to that of a deer in the headlights. She blinked a few times, was she seeing things? Or was there really a guy with long red hair staring her down through binoculars above her?

<<ftop>> Syl flashed a charming smile, discarding the binoculars and offering Kai his hand. "Good to see you're already falling for me," he said lamely, "and might I add, you have the second most beautiful rear-end I have ever seen, mine being first of course."
He made a point of tilting his head to what he considered to be his 'good side', so she could get a better view of his perfection. <<fbot>>

Skitty grabbed the Oran berry, then ate a few small nibbles and handed the rest to Ripple. <I suppose I really wasn't that hungry,> She meowed, arching her butt in a stretch. <But thank you for accommodating me.> She sat and licked her paw daintily, proud as she was.
The red-haired human standing over them looked to her like he wouldn't be helpful to her, so she simply ignored him.

“Uhmm…” Kai blinked, slightly flustered. Someone actually saw her fall? And then complimented her? Was this natural? She refused his hand politely, simply rolling over to sit on her legs, watching him with a curious look. “…Hello?”
Ripple took the berry greatfully, grinning at the Skitty. <Thanks!> He nibbled into the berry, quite content with the snack. He kept a wary eye on Syl, somewhat curious and slightly untrusting. <Who is that guy?>

<<ftop>> "Tsk, tsk, how very rude to refuse such a perfect hand as this," he chided, making sure to lock eyes with Kai. He wasn't sure about this girl yet - would she break first, or would he?
Ignoring the two pokemon completely, he continued modestly, "now, I am sure you know who I am already, after all, one doesn't get to be this famous on looks alone," Syl shifted into a seated position next to Kai, and took a lock of her hair between his fingers. "But in case you hadn't heard, I'm kind of a big deal."
If ego could kill, Kai would surely be dead by now. <<fbot>>

Skitty watched the two humans chatter, a blank stare on her face. This wasn't beneficial to her at all, and she needed to get back home anyway. She'd seen enough of the route for the day, she decided. Besides, the red-haired guy was creeping her out a little.
The kitten stood up. <Well, I'll be going now.> She mewed, then started walking off past Syl with a bored and amused expression.
::skitty:: Skitty is leaving - interfere?

“That still doesn’t tell me who you are,” Kai said quietly, she felt very out of place around Syl. What should she say? Kai stuttered, “I’m new around here.” She dug her fingers into the dirt. Looking over Syl, he was somewhat cute. His hair was longer than hers and the deep red really glowed in the sun. However, he was fairly self-conceded. Very self-absorbed… The leaf from the bush he was still in his hair. With some hesitation she peeled the leaf from his hair, holding it out in front of them at eye level. She felt very awkward with her movements around him, around any other person truly.
<Aww, okay. See you around!> Ripple said with a grin. His attention turned to the man and Kai. A frown pursed his lips, he was unsure about this guy. Ripple smirked playfully. A long rainbow of water sprouts from his tiny mouth, spilling over onto Syl’s head. He had used water sport.
Ripple’s water sport had a secondary effect however… By aiming at Syl he in turn sprayed Kai too. Kai nearly jumped out of her skin when the cold water hit her. It ran down her hair, soaking into her shirt and the thighs of her jeans. Her mouth dropped in shock. Ripple bounced over to Kai, jumping into her lap with an enthusiastic expression.

<<ftop>> Syl let out a girlish shriek, jumping to his feet and touching limp tendrils of wet red hair. "Y-you! You messed up my gorgeous hair!" He pointed a shaky pale finger at Ripple, and then completely lost his train of thought.
The faint outline of the girl's chest was on display for all to see. Syl's eyes were glued to the spot. "You look... cold..." he managed to stammer, "maybe... torchic..."
Without looking away, he unclipped one of the two pokeballs resting on his belt and released the creature from it's prison. A Torchic shook herself off, and glanced at Syl for an order.
But the red-head was preoccupied. "Uh..." <<fbot>>

Kai looked up at Syl, blinking. “Sorry about that, he can be a bit of a handful,” She looked down, hugging the small Poliwag. Ripple looked up at Kai acting innocent and pure as snow. “A torchic?” She asked curiously, looking at the cute little chicken Pokémon. She hugged Ripple close to her.

<<ftop>> He shook his head, clearing it of the impure thoughts that could possibly land him in jail. "Oh, yes. A Torchic. But that's nothing compared the the mountain of rare and impressive pokemon I have back at my mansion. I mean, they are simply a must-have for someone as rich and talented as me,"
The Torchic's feathered crest drooped slightly at her trainer's comment. She hopped from foot to foot idly, to amuse herself while waiting for a command. She might have been young, but loyalty to Syl was never questioned.
Syl glanced at Ripple with disdain. "Is that thing the only Pokemon you have?" he asked, top lip curled in disgust. <<fbot>>

Did he have to be so rude? Kai frowned and sighed. “It’s a Poliwag, and I have an Ekans I caught earlier,” she said quietly, feeling very inferior to this stranger. She bit her lip, shifting away from Syl. Her shirt clung to her back, fairly see through since it was a white shirt. She pushed her hair over her eyes, trying to avoid his gaze.
Ripple blew small bubbles, letting them float into the air with glee. He grinned at the torchic. <Hiya! Who are you?> He rocked back and forth in Kai’s lap, somewhat oblivious to the verbal abuse that had just come his way.
“You know,” Kai paused, “I still don’t know your name.”
