MELODY THE MAREEP met as a pre-starter @ lvl 04 holding a magnet! level 06.5 • static • femalehe didn't know whether having flying and electric types inside a giant cavernous region was a good idea. after all, things that would be deadly in a battle seemed to love squirming around in here: rock and ground types, respectively. but in light of having nobody else with any ability to dig, it would be melody's fierce determination and stubborn attitude which would bore through the rocky walls to find what treasures lay beyond. and treasures there were! he had heard a lot about certain things called shards: a creepy old hiker guy at the entrance to the caverns had asked whether he had any with a toothy grin, which quickly went away when renae showed his empty pockets. but he was determined to get some of those shards and buy some cool technical machines for his pokémon. first on the list: thunderbolt for melody. definitely. it would make her static electricity much more powerful, and he only hoped she wouldn't use it to shock him whenever he made a mistake. which, regrettably, was often. leaning against the cavern opening with a gentle whistle passing through his lips, he waited on his companion to arrive. he had answered a request for a mining partner a little while ago, sent a cute little letter back and everything. and in his excitement to get to know a new friend and companion, he had got here a little early. never mind that, he could hang out, leaning on a rock wall, whistling away until she arrived. he knew he would recognise her immediately: she did have the coolest hair he had ever seen.

She came trotting up a moment later, grinning as she saw him. They'd met at the Easter Egg hunt, and, as odd as he was, she found him entertaining, so had no problem hanging around him. "Hey there," she said lightly, reaching for the Pokeball just forward of her right hip and pulling it off her belt. "You ready to go down there?" Aspen would either love this or hate it, she thought. He was quiet by nature, fearful of Dragon types, but curious and, she'd discovered recently, very polite towards other Pokemon. He was a perfect choice for this as well, just in case they ran into any wild Pokemon, being the Grass type that he was. She waited for his answer, pulling her hair, which had been hanging loose since she hadn't bothered to braid it yet, back into a firm ponytail so as to be out of her way. The silky strands refused at first to cooperate, but eventually she got them under control.

MELODY THE MAREEP met as a pre-starter @ lvl 04 holding a magnet! level 06.5 • static • female" hey!" oh, here she was. right on time, as he might have expected. " totally ready. it looks, uh, pretty dark, but we can handle it, i think!" he said cheerfully, ever-present optimism shining through like always. the mareep by his side let her brightly-coloured tail flash like the lightbulb it was, signifying that yes, she was able to take on some dark and tacky cavern, no sweat. turning to begin walking, he motioned for the girl to join him by his side, and melody caught up with the treecko. < you must be the famous aspen! > she said, not without a hint of laughter. melody was decidedly stubborn when it came to being the best, and in social situations with other trainers - or even renae's other pokémon - she put on a show of superiority that wasn't clear when she was just hanging out with renae. they had been alone together for years, so he guessed she was used to being the only one. renae shrugged the feeling off, though, because any kind of negativity went against his nature. as they strode deeper into the cavern, renae shouldered a pickaxe he had been leaning on as he waited, hoping to shatter a few rocks with it while melody put her large forehead and stubbornness to good use. he watched her put her hair up as they walked, and wondered whether it would be weird trying to braid his own unruly locks. probably. " this looks like an alright spot, i guess?" he said, pointing to a wall before them, using melody's lightbulb tail like a flashlight to illuminate the surface in front of his face.

Her lips twitched as she watched him, and she glanced at Aspen, who was examining the Mareep curiously. He seemed alright, so she looked to Renae again. "Dark yes, but we'll be fine," she said lightly, certainty in her tone as she followed him and his Mareep inside.
Famous Aspen? the Treecko said, obviously confused, and his tail twitched slightly with the same emotion. I wouldn't say that. He wasn't famous. He was just.... Himself. The name had a certain ring to it, but it felt wrong to make the claim when he didn't consider it true.
"This looks like a great spot," Aisling replied, grinning as she watched her human companion. She had her own pickaxe as well, and she considered the wall for a moment before looking to Aspen. "What do you think?" she asked him, and he cocked his head, padding up to the wall and looking it over. He then hopped backwards, a rather cute move, all things considered, and twitched his tail, nodding. "Cool. Let's do this then." She swung the pickaxe with all her strength, hearing a satisfying ring as it hit the wall.

MELODY THE MAREEP met as a pre-starter @ lvl 04 holding a magnet! level 06.5 • static • femalethe mareep looked sideways at the treecko as they walked, examining him curiously. < well, famous-ish. i'd heard of you before i'd even met you, > she explained. then, to further the conversation, she continued in a singsong voice, < my name is melody~ > she was aptly named; renae took much pride in that fact. renae grinned madly at aisling, talking in between a swing of his pick at the wall. " no sweat! should be super easy, right?" he threw all his unmanly force behind the blow - which was admittedly not very much - and the object stuck into the wall, meaning he had to tug it out. " mmrrff. this is much harder than i thought it would be," he whined, to nobody really in particular. melody rolled her eyes and, with a sigh in the direction of aisling as if to ask her why her trainer had to be so pathetic, jumped up and latching her teeth around the handle of the axe, eventually tugging it from the wall with minimal help from her trainer. < practically useless, > she remarked to the treecko, with a knowing look. she knew that most humans could hardly walk anywhere without an escort of a Pokémon. they couldn't fly, or run very fast, or throw flames from their mouth or pull thunder from the sky. they couldn't protect themselves at all: that was why she stuck by renae. because he needed protecting: because he deserved protecting. < can yours do anything right? then again, renae can make one hell of a good sandwich. it kinda makes up for everything. > "MOO" THE TAILLOW EGG bought from sol ranch @ lvl 00 level 00 • ability • gender move one, move two, move three, move four hatching post three!

Oh. Sadly, I had not heard of you. Only your team mate, who Aisling met before, he explained, an apologetic note to his voice. It's a pleasure, Miss Melody. Your name is lovely.Aisling chuckled as she watched him, swinging her's again. It stuck as well, but she was able to tug it free without aid. She then stood back. "Aspen, see if we can get through this using Leafstorm," she suggested, and Treecko stepped in front of her. His little hands moved swiftly in front of him, launching leaf after leaf after leaf in to the air in a whirlwind that quickly expanded around him, until he directed it to the wall where his Trainer had been hammering away. The weakened stone gave further, though not quite all the way, the leaves slicing into it. The fact he was 'attacking' the wall kept him from answering Melody's question, his concentration, for the moment, focused elsewhere.

MELODY THE MAREEP met as a pre-starter @ lvl 04 holding a magnet! level 06.5 • static • femalemelody's face fell for just a second, but she didn't let it shake her. brightening up immediately afterwards, she replied nonchalantly to the treecko's statement. clearly the teammate was the rufflet, who thought he was the best. well evidently, he was not, and he needed to learn that: but that was a matter to be dealt with later. right now, she was too busy being flattered by the grass type's insane politeness. she had never even met a Pokémon this polite before! where did he get it from? < you're too kind, > she muttered back, before regaining her usual form. < but don't call me miss! > renae was still preoccupied with his axe, but he was getting better at it the more he tried. aisling was lucky: her grass type was able to beat down the rock easy. he eyed melody with a grin. " go on," he said, and the electric sheep threw her static-soaked body, twice its usual size, at the wall. not as effective - not even close - renae swung the pick at the weakened part of the wall and, lo and behold, cracks started appearing in the wall. he was getting there, slowly. he supposed it was better. if there were any stones of any worth inside the walls, he didn't want to break them by barging in and crushing them with brute strength. which, if he had any, he would totally use. melody, annoyed at being ignored, poked at the treecko with one sky-blue paw. < hey, hey, i was talking to you! put those dumb leaves down. hey! > "MOO" THE TAILLOW EGG bought from sol ranch @ lvl 00 level 00 • ability • gender move one, move two, move three, move four hatching post four!

Aisling smiled as she watched her partner do his thing, his attack continuing on the wall. He got distracted when Melody began poking him, and it wavered, causing his tail to twitch with annoyance. I'm a little busy, he muttered, refocusing the attack, though enough of his attention remained on her to hold a slightly stilted conversation. My Trainer is smart. She picks things up quickly. That, and her desirr to go and do, is good enough for me. He adjusted his attack, then halted it at a motion from Aisling, moving out of the way as she stepped forward again. She has her flaws, of course. All humans, and Pokemon for that matter, do.
Aisling swung at the wall again, hearing a hollow thud rather than that ringing clank, and immediately withdrew it, reaching into her backpack for a soft brush, which she began using on the area she'd been working.

MELODY THE MAREEP met as a pre-starter @ lvl 04 holding a magnet! level 06.5 • static • female < busy, schmusy. we have all day in these mines, > she whined, disliking not being paid attention. surely she, with her perfectly coiffed wool and breathtakingly stunning personality, was more interesting than a wall. renae, however, did not share her opinion. " melody!" he scolded, in a tone which also apologised to the beleaguered treecko. " mind your manners, girl." oh goodness, he was picking up melody's slightly ghetto mannerisms. he really needed to talk to people more. it seemed aisling had struck gold - so to speak - and was using a tender little brush to wipe away the delicate dirt. having the wall collapse on top of them would be a practical disaster, so he was glad she was being careful. he, however, could not afford such measures, as he was falling behind his partner. he didn't want to let her down, after they had got off to such a good start. " here we go!" he cried, thrusting the axe head-on into the wall so it wouldn't get stuck again. melody, knowing exactly what was needed of her, tackled the axe handle with a ramming charge, pushing it further into the rock wall. a large crack appeared, and renae high-fived his mareep's sky blue foot. melody turned to the treecko, evidently pleased with herself, and fluffed up her wool with careful paws. < see, > she sniffed, huffily, looking down her short nose at him. < i don't have flaws. > "MOO" THE TAILLOW EGG bought from sol ranch @ lvl 00 level 00 • ability • gender move one, move two, move three, move four hatching post five!

Aisling kept up her work until she'd completely uncovered her treasure and gently pried it from the wall, wrapping it in a cloth and putting it in her bag. She then stepped back and examined the wall carefully. She glanced at Melody as she heard her, for lack of a better word, whining at Aspen, and she sighed. She needed her Pokemon's talents to work the stone, and the Mareep would just have to deal. "Aspen, let's attempt a Pound, hm?" she said lightly, and he nodded, lunging at the weakened stone and hitting it hard, then falling back as she swung the pickaxe again, cracking the stone a nit, though not enough just yet. Everyone has flaws, whether they like it or not. The tone he put behind it was firm, his gaze on her intent.

MELODY THE MAREEP met as a pre-starter @ lvl 04 holding a magnet! level 06.5 • static • femalemelody huffed, but didn't say anything else. renae, aisling and aspen clearly were all too busy smashing the wall to pay her any attention, so she guessed the sooner they broke everything and found whatever treasures were down here, the sooner she could be patted and loved and everything. silently brooding, and with the hint of a frown on her pretty face, she tackled the wall again where the crack had appeared earlier, and as she backed off after striking the wall, a fissure the width of renae's arm appeared as the rock tumbled away. renae cheered loudly in the echoing cavern, and ran a hand through his hair as his voice reverberated through the area. god, hopefully he wouldn't start a cave-in with that voice of his. " could you possibly give me a bit of help with this?" he asked aisling politely, wondering if she might use a more delicate hand in recovering the treasures from within the hollow in the wall. his arms were too gangly and his hands too shaky to be of any use. instead, he struck the wall a few metres to the left with the axe a couple of times, hoping his brute force would be of more help. aisling could sweat the small stuff, and he'd whack the bigger stuff. teamwork was the coolest thing ever.

Aisling nodded and moved to brush away the dirt and stuff covering up Melody's find. "You did a good job, Melody," she said gently, noticing how offended the Mareep seemed. She then watched as Renae began slamming the pick into the wall again, chuckling and shaking her head, then moving to work again.
That was an awesome headbutt, Aspen said, truly believing what he said. And his belief showed.

MELODY THE MAREEP met as a pre-starter @ lvl 04 holding a magnet! level 06.5 • static • female first of all i heavily apologise for the lateness of this. i was kidnapped for a surprise easter getaway. c:melody brightened up considerably at aisling's compliment. she was a simple creature of habit, really, and she needed fluffing up every now and then to keep her on track. grinning, she attempted a slight curtsey, placing one stubby paw in front of the others and bowing her head. < thankyou, thankyou, i'm here all week. > renae laughed too, not making eye contact with aisling, but knowing she wasn't being malignant in any way. he was a little bit of a freak sometimes, anyway, and so long as he could laugh with her, and not be laughed at, life would turn out fine. striking the wall again with the axe, he hummed merrily. " hi ho, hi ho..." he began quietly, mumbling the rest and whistling the tune. turning to aspen, melody fluffed up her wool and grinned. < it was, wasn't it, > she began, laughing away at how pompous she sounded. < only kidding, it's nothing, really. > "MOO" THE TAILLOW EGG bought from sol ranch @ lvl 00 level 05 • ability • gender move one, move two, move three, move four hatching post seven!

(( It's alright. It happens. )) Better than I can. My Pound is still a work in progress, the Treecko replied, tail twitching slightly as he turned his head slightly so he could watch his Trainer as well, just in case she needed him for something. Aisling smiled at the motion, then began brushing away the dust again. Soon enough she had worked out the Mareep's find and handed it to her Trainer to put away, before moving to use her own pick again on the wall. She had noticed a slight bulge in it and that made her wonder if maybe there was something behind the stone.

MELODY THE MAREEP met as a pre-starter @ lvl 04 holding a magnet! level 06.5 • static • femalemelody shrugged her shoulders as she set them to ram the wall again. before she launched her forehead at the flat rock space before her, she tossed a backhanded compliment at the treecko, unusual for her, considering she loved to be on top of everything. < it's working well for you, anyway. > she grinned at the shiny thing that aisling released from the wall, watching as renae cradled it with care. he tried to make sure his hands didn't brush aisling's as he reached for the treasures: trapped underground, an awkward situation was something he really desired to avoid. placing the shiny thing - he hadn't yet figured out what it was: it was too dark, he would wait until they got back out to the sunlight to examine the object and figure out its worth - in a velvet drawstring bag, he placed it back into his backpack. swinging the pick again at a piece of the wall, he couldn't help but envy aisling the obvious thing just in front of her. to pass the time, he whistled slightly and laughed as he thought of something. " i spy with my little eye, something beginning with ... r!" he said, grinning as he picked slightly at the wall. this was turning out to be a really pleasant time.

(( Huh... I DID post... Apparently it didn't work... ))
"R huh?" Aisling said teasingly as she continued to work at the wall. Aspen flicked his tail slightly, a grin touching his lips as he stood off to the side, waiting patiently for her, in case she needed his help. "Aspen, Pound the wall please," she said lightly, and he moved, leaping towards it, whirling his body at the last moment so his powerful tail slammed into it, cracking it further.

MELODY THE MAREEP met as a pre-starter @ lvl 04 holding a magnet! level 06.5 • static • female 'sokay. totally understand (: chrome eats my posts all the time." yeah. the letter r, and it's not me, i swear!" well, that had to be a hint and a half. they were underground, with very little to see or name, so she had to arrive at the conclusion fairly quickly, right? besides, if nothing else, that little treecko looked mighty intelligent. renae bet he could definitely play eye spy with him. melody always got too frustrated with losing to play games: if she didn't guess correctly after about two tries, she ragequit, hard. and when a static electric pokemon ragequit, it was painful for everyone involved. " melody, tackle the wall~" renae sang, heaving into the wall with a tired blow of the pickaxe. this was pathetic, really: he wasn't built for all this physical exercise and exertion. he wasn't even sure if he possessed sweat glands to sweat out of, he had been so unenergetic at home. the most he'd had to do was hang out the washing, and he had even done that begrudgingly and with much moaning and groaning. melody took a few steps backwards with bright blue trotters, then rammed the wall with her head, her full body weight behind the blow. < this is getting real old, real quick, renae, > she said with a sigh. she would do it, though, because she loved him. ooh! a big crack! renae picked at it absent-mindedly with the sharp end of the axe, wondering what treasure could be behind here this time. he brushed away the dirt to see something sparkle underneath. it was dug in too deep for him to scratch out, but one more tackle should do it.
