It was evening. The sun was setting, cast darkness across the region. It was a Saturday. All of these factors usually excited the girl, especially the fact that it was pleasantly cool outside (for once). Instead she found herself bored listless.
"Why did you guys make me go to the park?" She complained. "It's hella boring here." George and Jill looked up from where they were frolicking, and the Croconaw gave her a sour look. The Eevee on her lap twitched his ear. He'd fallen asleep about a half an hour ago, leaving her trapped and sitting on the bench. She stuck her tongue out at her delinquent Pokemon, lightly stroking the fox pokemon's large ears. A sound almost like a purr came out of his small body.
Farther away, the Red Baron was giving piggyback rides to Flore the Chikorita. Excalibur was watching from the sidelines. Lyra couldn't be sure, but she thought he might have a crush on the small grass-type. Too bad she could probably kick his ass. |

Zane walked through the park. His dark grey hair was slightly falling in his eyes. His Zigzagoon, Hermes, followed him. <Say boss,> Hermes said, he called Zane his 'boss' for some odd reason. <What are we doing here?> Zane looked down at his Zigzagoon and shrugged. "A change for once." He replied. HIs normal blank stare on this face.
Up ahead Hermes noticed a Pokémon giving a Spoink-back ride to another. He tilted his head at the scene. What was that all about?

<Lift off! Lift off!> The Chikorita chanted at the Skarmory. <Fly! Fly!> Red rustled her steel wings. <I can't,> she said. If a steel-type bird could have a sympathetic face, she wore one at that moment. <You could get hurt...> She trailed off, staring at Flore's pouting face.
<Fine! I'll just... get somebody else to give me a ride!> She yelled, sliding off of Red's back. Excalibur smirked. <I'd let you ride me any day, baby.> The grass-type stared at him, a frown gracing her lips. Then she tossed her leaf and ran off to find another playmate. The Nidoran sighed, and farther away Jill burst out laughing.
Soon the Chikorita neared that shadowy figure in the distance. She'd been warned of Team Death, especially with the recent kidnappings, but she was confident she could handle anything. She noticed the Zigzagoon first, and never shy, she approached him. <Hey!> |

Hermes blinked. <Uh, hello.> He said, uncertain why the grass type came up to him. Did he not look scary? People shouldn't come to him! He could attack them...or...something. The point was he didn't look scary enough to make other Pokemon.
Zane rasied an eyebrow. What was this? a Chikorita came up to Hermes. Zane looked around for the Chikorita's Trainer, maybe it was lost or something. But if it wasn't....darn, there she was. Zane noticed Lyra from afar, sitting down. He pointed at the Chikorita as in 'come and get your lost Pokemon' sort of way.

Flore gave the Zigzagoon a catty smile. Then she noticed the human looking down at her. He looked around a few times, then his eyes rested on Lyra off in the distance. An idea sparked in her little leafy head. I've never seen Lyra with any other humans... She could use some friends! She grinned, looking awfully devilish for such a cute face. She did not move from her spot.
From where Lyra was sitting she could barely make out the shape of somebody pointing at her Chikorita. She sighed. That plant dinosaur thing is so stubborn, she thought to herself. Even when the stranger gestured, Flore had stayed put. "Hang on a sec!" She called out. Lunar's ears twitched, and he sat up. Well, that had worked. The brown fluffball leaped off her lap and to the ground. She stood up and stretched, yawning audibly. Then, finally, she made her way over to where her Pokemon had been sitting. "Sup," she lazily greeted the other trainer. |

Hermes looked at the Chikorita. Did that thing have an evil look on its face? Hermes nervously shifted, if a thing that cute could have a evil look he'd hate to see what the Trainer had. He noticed it had sat down before him and he tilted his head. <Uh, hi? I'm Hermes?> he wasn't too sure what else he should say.
Zane rasied an eyebrow. 'Sup' is what the Trainer had said to him. He wasn't much for slang but if it worked for the girl... "I believe this is your Chikorita." He said.

Well, this wasn't working. Flore's grin faded. Maybe this guy's trainer was just anti-social. <Uh, hi? I'm Hermes?> The Zigzagoon said to her. She looked back at him, suddenly remembering she'd greeted him before. <Oh, sorry! I'm Flore.> She gave him a little mock bow. <Those guys over there are all part of my team.> Jill was wrestling with George and winning, Excalibur was bothering Lunar. Red had lumbered off to go sleep, evidently having enough of gun and games for one day.
"I believe this is your Chikorita." Lyra looked down at Flore, easily socializing with the guy's pokemon. She had to look up to read his face, seeing as how he was much taller than her, and even then there wasn't much she could see on it. "Yeah, but I usually let her wander off on her own. If she gets into trouble she'll always come running back." She shrugged. Flore bristled down below at this comment, but said nothing. Farther off there was another barking Croconaw laugh. Damn, they have good ears. The Chikorita thought. Lyra continued. "Is that your only Pokemon?" She asked, referring to Hermes. |

Hermes sat down. His fur covering his paws, he looked behind Flore and saw the others. <Friendly bunch.> He said. They were laughing behind her back, what nice friends. He looked up at Zane then back at Flore. The look on her face seemed to be staring at Zane. He waved a paw in front of her and said, <That's my boss, Zane. He's a...character for sure.> he explained.
Zane shook his head. "No, I have a Staryu too." he said. He studied the girl. A bit shorter then he was, she seemed carefree too. Maybe a bit reckless too. He wasn't sure on that part. He heard his Pokemon talking with the other and gave a glare. "Hermes here is just my second Pokemon." He explained.

<Friendly bunch.> <They're not that bad,> she said dismissively. <That's my boss, Zane. He's a...character for sure.> <I can tell.> Flore looked up again, seeing as far as she could. She couldn't quite make out his face because of how tiny she was. Sometimes she hated being short. <Oh, you should come join us! I know just how to get them started.>
"No, I have a Staryu too." Except for being a scarecrow, he wasn't all that bad looking. Too bad she didn't much go for emo boys."Ohhh. Well in case you didn't know, there's a pond around here. You could let it out for a swim." She flashed a quick smile. "I was gonna do that with my Croconaw but she didn't want to leave my Quilava." |

Zane took a quick glance at the small pond. He pulled out Astro's Pokeball and let him out. In a flash of light Astro stood by Zane's side. He looked around, seeing why he was called out then he noticed the pond. He looked at Zane then walked over and dove in.
Zane had a smirk on his face. It was nice seeing his Pokemon be happy for a change, maybe relax a good thing every now and then. He then glanced at the girl and nodded. "Zane." He said, referring to himself. "That's Hermes and Astro."
Hermes jumped up and down at his name. <Yeah! Better not mess with me, I'm a tough Zigzagoon!> Well, jumping up and down wasn't exactly tough, but you don't wanna tell him that. He looked at Flore an shrugged. <Why not, who's yo so called friends over there?> he asked.

He let his Staryu out in a flash of light. It illuminated the area for a split second, and she blinked. The other trainer introduced himself and his Pokemon, so she did the same for herself. "I'm Lyra. I'd tell you the names of all of my Pokemon but I kind of have a full team so... I don't want to have to ask you to remember them all. But for starts, the little thing down there is Flore." The "little thing" gave her a look of pure hatred, and Lyra laughed softly. She lowered herself so she could stroke the Chikorita on the head as an apology, and instead she bit her on the hand. The girl winced and a single bead of blood squeezed out. "Okay, I get it. Don't call you little. You'll evolve really soon anyway." She continued petting the Chikorita anyway.
Flore felt bad about biting her harder than intended, but she didn't show it. Instead she turned to Hermes. <There's Red the Skarmory, George the Quilava, Jill the Croconaw, and Lunar the Eevee. Let's go and play tag, that'll wake them up.> She didn't have any of the manners her trainer did. |

Hermes got a evil look on his face. Oooh, a 'friendly' game of tag, huh? Perfect. Hermes nodded, trying to cover up his smirk he said, <Oh, really? They're sleepy? Well, lets wake them up...> he walked over with Flore to have a little fun. <Be back in a jiffy Boss!> he called to Zane.
For once in a long time Zane smiled. Not a smirk or a fake one but a real smile. He enjoyed seeing his Pokemon relax, he didn't let them for some odd reason. He then looked at Lyra and smiled. "Nice to meet you." he said truthfully.

The Chikorita was pleased with her new recruit. She bounded over to where the rest of her team was relaxing, and the park lights overhead flickered on. It was now officially night time, but it was brighter than it had been before. Within a few steps she had reached Excalibur, he-who-very-obviously-liked-her, and she tapped him with a front foot. <You're It.> The rest of the Pokemon scattered as the Nidoran sleepily blinked his eyes.
"Nice to meet you." Seeing him smiling, she smiled back. Lyra wasn't much of a smiler when she was on her own, and it wasn't her usual reaction to things, but she usually reminded herself to do it every now again so that people would find her easier to read. She knew from experience other people were intimidated when they couldn't read another person's intentions. "Hey, it's nice to meet you too. I haven't had much contact with the outside world since I started out." Discreetly she studied his face, now that she was able to see better. Well, he has nice eyes, she admitted begrudgingly. She was always jealous of anybody who didn't have mud brown eyes like hers. |

Hermes smirked. Oh it was go time. He scattered away from the tagged Pokemon, though he didn't see who Flore had tagged he was getting away from anyone he could. <I dare ya to tag me!> He taunted.
Zane didn't take much notice when Lyra had studied him. He walked over to the beach where she had been sitting and sat down himself. He watched Hermes play tag with the others and Astro was just relaxing in the pond. It was a relaxing scene to it. "I don't normally come here." He admitted. "But I figured my Pokemon needed some relaxing time."

Oh, so he was being dared to tag that Zigzagoon he didn't even know? Excalibur narrowed his eyes. <Challenge accepted.> He said shortly, then took off after him. He was pretty fast for someone with such short, stubby legs. He completely ignored the other Pokemon, having only eyes for Hermes at that moment.
"But I figured my Pokémon needed some relaxing time." He had gone over to the bench, her previous spot. Not wanting to give up the only decent company she'd had in a while, she sat next to him, not close but not exactly at the other end of the bench either. "Yeah, usually we're training for our gym challenge." Lyra lifted her head up. The stars were barely visible against the lights, and a sudden breeze blew against her. She shivered, putting her hands in her pockets. She regretted going out there in nothing but a skirt and tights. She continued. "But, well, with the power outage, we can't exactly get our first badge, now can we? Damn Team Death." She cursed them and their stupid ideas. What was the whole point of stealing a bunch of Pokemon then trapping themselves in the Power Plant? |

Hermes gasped. Dang, that Nidoran was pretty fast. But, he was named after the God of Theives for a reason, he knew how to make quick get-a-ways. He bolted father away from the Nidoran, looking back he stuck his tounge out at him. <Nah nah nah nah nah nah!> He taunted.
Zane looked at Lyra, she seemed to be cool. The night was falling rather quickly and all she had on was a skirt and tights. Zane pulled off his jacket and handed it to Lyra. "Here." he said. "I don't mind the cold much." He wrapped it around her shoulders and turned back to the Pokemon playing tag. It was true, he didn't mind the cold much. He just had on a tee-shirt and jeans, besides the leather jacket that's all he had on really. That's all he needed too, he was hot-blooded.

"I don't mind the cold much." As he wrapped it around her, she felt a warmth spread over her, but not from the jacket. It was a good thing she didn't blush easily. "Thank you," she said gratefully. She didn't like to admit she was a sucker for any guy who even batted an eyelash at her, but it was almost the truth. "Say, you don't know anything about this Team Death business at the Power Plant, do you?" She raised an eyebrow in his direction. "I'm just curious about it and how far it goes." To be honest, she fancied herself a bit of a detective. Wouldn't people be impressed if she rooted out the problem all by herself!
Hermes was getting farther away. Excalibur gritted his teeth, putting the turbo on. Almost... almost... He was out of breath and losing his energy. Putting on one final burst of speed, he pushed himself even farther and dove for the Zigzagoon. |

Zane shook his head. "No clue. Everyone is guessing, but who knows." He said. He leaned back on the beach and crossed his arms. "It's a mystery, one that won't be solved any time soon." Zane said, apparently in deep thought. What was all this Team Death thing about? Also, is there some way he could get in on it?
Hermes thought he was clear, but then....BAM! The Nidoran's body was on top of his. <Hey! ACK!> Hermes rolled over and landed on his back. His paws up, he laughed.

The girl leaned forward, resting her chin on her hands and staring straight forward. She sighed. "Ah well, it was worth a try." She thought back to her outburst at the Pokemon Center. "You know, I saw one of their members before... he'd been captured, and it's kind of funny. He was taking other people's Pokemon, but the moment his was taken it looked like his world had crumbled." Farther off, Excalibur had pinned Zane's Zigzagoon with his body. She smiled. "Looks like Excalibur got Hermes." She was careful to remember names. That was one of her good points.
The Nidoran was thrown off when Hermes rolled over. He quickly scampered off, calling back over his shoulder. <No tagbacks!> The one closest to the Zigzagoon was now Lunar. |

Zane rasied an eyebrow. "Oh really? That's odd." He said, talking about the person at the Pokecenter. Then, he caught eye of Hermes and smirked. "Don't worry, he's not out just yet."
Hermes bolted at Lunar. His paws running at the ground, for a little Zigzagoon he was fast. Of course, he needed to be if he ever was gonna make an escape from somewhere. After stealing something of course. <I got'cha.....now!> He pounced.
