Elani's eyes narrowed slowly as she stared at Todd. She looked past him again, as if dismissing him. He was weak in her opinion. Not because he didn't stand up for himself, but because he didn't try to find a way out of his situation when he couldn't stand up for himself. She lifted her brows and stared at Missy. "You really should find a way to be happy. Misery shared does not happiness make." That said, she turned her attention away from the girl as well, as if Missy were beneath her notice as well. She looked at Queen and her eyes narrowed slowly. Queen spun in the air, although her defenses had been lowered by the creepy stare of the Skorupi. The sharp pincers struck hard and she gave a cry and wrenched herself free. When she was airborne again, Elani's hands curved into fists. "Focus your energy. Then peck him. END this, Queenie." Her voice projected confidence and poise. Queen spun in the air and flapped her wings several times as she circled above the Skorupi, staring intently at him. Then she tucked her wings and dove once more. Queen :: Taillow :: Level: 8 [Guts] Focus Energy | Growl | Peck | Quick Attack Health is High RedDef -2 Hit by Bite Used Focus Energy and Peck

-------- CAMPERS TODD and MISSY !
* Age 15. Todd is timid & sensitive; Missy is a flippant, popular diva who often forces Todd to 'prove his worth' in battle. Unstable relationship.
Todd knew that Elani was being sympathetic as she tried to reason with him, but in his eyes, this just meant leaving his girlfriend behind. It was hard imagining leaving her all by herself in the middle of the route, and he could only imagine the endless stream of vibrant rants that would happen because of it. It was scary to imagine what Missy could do to his already pitiful reputation, which made standing up to her incredibly difficult. That Taillow was something else, proving that she completely out matched his Skorupi when she had the type advantage.
Her critical hit rate was up, and Dagger was too weak to take another hit like that. He winced as he raised his claws to take the hit, thinking that he could protect himself if he kept the Taillow's beak away from his vulnerable body. His arms managed to hold off the initial force of the Peck, but Queen's beak managed to break through his defenses. She pecked him right in the center of his noggin, effectively knocking the Skorupi unconscious.
"I-I am happy. Don't tell me how to live when you don't know me." Todd hated being called out on this, and his eyes swirled with confusion and panic as he hastily returned his Skorupi. Missy glared at Elani, feeling as if the girl was getting into dangerous territory here. "Stop telling him what to do. You don't even know us." She made a face, sticking out her tongue as she grabbed Todd by his shirt's collar. "We're going. A deal's a deal." With a sassy snap of her fingers, her Sandshrew followed closely behind her. The group was gone, and Elani and Queen were victorious.

"What a rotten girl," Elani murmured softly as a tired but victorious Queen landed before her. She spent a few moments stroking Queen's soft feathers before she recalled the Taillow and tucked the Pokeball away on her belt. She looked down at Mystral. "I hope that we don't always meet people who are that unpleasant." >Not Cute. We should find some cute. Before I start thinking Woobats are Cute.< Mystral sounded as if that would mean that she'd lost her mind. And it was quite possible that that was the only way her little Swinub would like Woobats. Elani smiled and shook her head, kneeling and petting the pig Pokémon for a few moments before she stood. "Alright, let's go find something cute before the Woobats become attractive." She teased, starting out. Mystral skittered along at her feet. Mystral :: Swinub :: Level: 6 [Oblivious | Snow Cloak] Tackle | Odor Sleuth | Mud Sport | Stealth Rock Health is Mid Green

[style=height:239px] POKEMON ENCOUNTER
Yes, she would be relieved to find that there was nothing wrong and odd about this route anymore. Although a particular trolly mod had decided to take a stroll through route 1 and noticed a character that needed some cheering up. So he decided to take it upon himself to press a finger to his lips deep in thought. This miraculous entity started to draw the picture of a wurmple slowly crawling towards the female trainer without any remorse for where he was going. The wurmple was humming to himself in a sing-song voice and was making squishing noises that even any humans could understand as a rhythm along the ground as it sounded like jingle bells being beat along the middle part of the wurmple's body.
Jingle bells, Jingle bells, jingle all the way, hey! Today's christmas, wooo, I can't wait to get home and open all my presents! the wurmple said as it was wearing a santa hat too. Obviously in a very cheerful mood and smiling as much as it could. What was with the holiday cheer at the wrong time of year? Well, you couldn't really depress him since he was already humming and chiding along. Maybe someone could tell him that Christmas was only on one day instead of what a wise old hoothoot told him? Yeah, believe whatever a hoothoot says...good strategy.

Elani stopped when she noticed the Wurmple. Her eyes widened just a little as she listened to it sing, and then she giggled softly. "What a funny little bug." She said softly to Mystral, leaning down and picking her Swinub up. "Hello. I hope you get something very nice for christmas!" she told him with a smile.

A wurmple looked up at the trainer just then, but he wasn't too worried about being squished. His eyes squinted showing he was smiling in a way, but that was the only way he could show it since it was hard to smile for a worm like him. Although he was surprised that the trainer could understand him well enough to converse with him, but part of him told him that this shouldn't be unheard of. It was weird that a few humans could even contact pokemon like this and soon he decided to initiate a conversation in return. Oh, yes, I do hope it's something nice, like leaves, but tomorrow's also Christmas too, so I get presents every day. We carol every day, we could use some more, would you like to join us on our 'Every day is christmas " expedition? the crazy little and cheerful bug pokemon asked!

Elani laughed softly and knelt down. "Well, we don't have to be anywhere in any hurry...although Queen could use a trip to the Pokémon center..." she said thoughtfully, looking at Mystral. "And Christmas is a wonderful time of year...or so I'm told..." She had never been invited to partake in christmas at the Foster Home. Only the biological children had been allowed that honor. Elani straightened. "A real Christmas...for the first time in my life..." She tapped her lower lip. "I think that I'd like that. A new Christmas for a new beginning." She looked at the Wurmple. "Sure, I'd be glad to join you for a little while!" Mystral :: Swinub :: Level: 7.5 [Oblivious | Snow Cloak] Tackle | Odor Sleuth | Mud Sport | Stealth Rock Health is Mid GreenNotes

Elani giggled and looked down at the present, nodding. "Sure! Let's find someone to give it to!" She remained silent during the singing...she didn't know the words...but Mystral grunted along with the tune. >I thought everyone would be happy to get a present.< Mystral said. >Where is everyone?< Mystral :: Swinub :: Level: 7.5 [Oblivious | Snow Cloak] Tackle | Odor Sleuth | Mud Sport | Stealth Rock Health is Mid GreenNotes

[style=height:239px] POKEMON ENCOUNTER The wurmple was on top of the world, but the swinub complaining didn't damper her mood one bit just then. Jingle bell, jingle bell rock! the wurmple started to sing that song now and swayed his body with the tune. Just letting the magical chorus spread throughout the forest just then. Still, this route was rather bland and distasteful as many pokemon were yelling at the wurmple to shutup. Now that wasn't very nice, and then he spoke out BUT IT'S CHRISTMAS! CHRISTMAS! he said suddenly as though trying to state that it was another day to give out presents. Even though the present on his back was meant for someone that would enjoy getting such a gift. Many of the pokemon they passed were snoozing or snoring, and some were just glaring at the wurmple as if he had done this just the other day. It was getting clearer and clearer why they were grumpy too. One pokemon had actually spoke up against the wurmple just a minute ago. Causing the wurmple to turn around for a minute and yell HALLELUJAH to the weedle's face. Of course the weedle backed up in shock and replusion at this as he tried to think of something wicked to say. Santa won't bring you presents every day, only once a year! which crushed the wurmple's heart hard. No, it can't be true, let's give this poor soul a present. He needs to see the joy of christmas! the wurmple said suddenly. The weedle was shocked and then blushed as he spoke up F-for me? I don't believe in Christmas still, it's a stupid holiday! You think a present will make me happy? even though the weedle's body lied and looked like he really wanted to open it. Shuuun the nonbeliever...shuuuuuun the wurmple said for a minute, but still wanted Elani to give the weedle the present.

Elani looked at the present in her hand and tilted her head, looking at the Wurmple and the Weedle, narrowing her eyes slightly. After a moment she shrugged and smiled, handing the Weedle the present. "Just because it isn't actually Christmas doesn't mean that we can't have Christmas Spirit," she said softly. "The spirit of giving is the spirit of loving for most people and Pokémon."

-------- SPIRIT? THAT'S ME !
The Weedle didn't know what to say to Elani's words, but she seemed so genuine and true, and he couldn't think of a good reason to deny her present. Taking the gift in his stubby little arms, he scowled and humthed at the Wurmple's jolly expression. The actual exchanging of presents was such a kind and simple gesture, and the Weedle felt humbled at the gift. If only he could give something back! A simple "thanks" would've been good enough for the Wurmple, but the Weedle had too much pride. <I'll take it anyways. B-but it's not like I'm agreeing with you or anything.> He bashfully turned his head to the side, much to the Wurmple's amusement. That was good enough for him, really.
<Yayyy! We did it! Now come along then! Let's spread some more cheer!> The Wurmple laughed with merriment, skipping on the path and picking up each pretty flower he could find. He wrapped a pretty silver bow around every three flowers he could find, making little bouquets as he strolled along the path.
His little legs were small compared to Elani's though, and it was probably easy to get frustrated with the Wurmple's pace. He was even worse than a small child struggling to keep up with their mother in the grocery store! There had to be a better way to move around.

Elani walked around with the Wurmple, although she felt they were getting nowhere fast. She looked down at the little creature, and after a little bit of time she knelt. "I'm going to have to say goodbye to you and Christmas, now." She smiled at him softly. "I'm very sorry, but I must get on my way. I'm trying to find my father, you see, and I can't do that if I'm spending all of my time caroling. I had a lot of fun with you, my friend, but it's time for me to say goodbye to Christmas for a little while." She straightened and picked up Mystral, smiling down at the Wurmple. "May all of your days be merry, and may your heart be filled with joy." With that, she turned and made her way back towards the trail so that she could move on with her journey...and maybe find her father and some new friends along the way?

[style=height:239px] POKEMON ENCOUNTER
The wurmple was quite happy the trainer had helped him, but as usual he always too sad to say goodbye. So instead he waved goodbye to his new friend and hoped to meet her again later on. Of course, that wasn't the most curious thing to happen on this route, but there was something following Elani at that exact moment. A hoothoot had taken up residence in a movable bush that someone had left behind, and it looked like a rather useless prop that was supposed to look like a bush. It almost was like a movie actor had taken a scene here and left the cardboard bush as a prop. What was more hysterical was the hoothoot that attached itself to it so that it could follow unwary trainers while learning more about "Humans". Especially since he was a rather curious hoothoot.
More so than most, and wanted to learn their language as best as he could, but could never find a real teacher to help him out. Still, he was wise, and thoughtful as he considered a way of asking the trainer for help in that aspect. Especially since she coudln't understand him, but he could draw! Oh yes, he was very artistic and could write to get his point across. Still, if he wrote it would just like gibberish to a human too, but he was at a loss with himself just then as he tried to keep thinking over possibilites to say hello to her. It was easy enough, but he still couldn't approach her as he just continued to follow silently behind the cardboard bush.

Elani sighed and walked along, looking down at Mystral. "I suppose we should eventually go to town. We can get you healed and go on to the next stop along our route." She tapped her lower lip. "Maybe we can go to the gym and try to challenge the leader there!" The thought made her clap her hands. "If we win a battle against the gym leader, we can get a badge!" >What's a badge?< Mystral asked, sounding puzzled. Elani smiled. "A badge shows that we're growing in strength and we'll soon get to go on to face the Elite Four!" Elani clapped her hands in excitement at the thought.

Elani blinked in surprise, and Mystral stared at the HootHoot in absolute silence. The two of them blinked almost identically for a moment before Mystral looked up at Elani to see if she was going to answer. By the time Elani got over her shock and had begun to open her mouth, the Hoot Hoot was talking again, to itself this time. Elani exchanged another glance with Mystral and her eyebrows lifted slowly. She cuddled Mystral close. "May I help you?" She asked, although she didn't go into any specifics about anything...like the fact that she could understand him...she wanted to see if he'd give away his real purpose...she liked his normal speech better than his suave tone...he sounded too much like a salesman or something.

[style=padding:10px; text-align: center; font-size: 75px; text-transform: uppercase; color: #434969;] Pokémon ENCOUNTER As the Hoothoot mumbled and fretted to himself, he almost did not hear the girl ask him her question. In fact, he had stood there still musing to himself, until the question registered in his brain. When the Hoothoot noticed he had been ignoring the question, he jumped up and apologized vehemently, <Oh sorry, sorry, dear girl. I was just so caught up in....> His apology drifted off into awkward silence, since he didn't know how to actually make up for his ignorance. Also, he didn't know the trainer could actually understand him. Bringing his wing up to his beak, he fidgeted a little bit.
There was another silence, and after a while he looked up nervously, and asked the trainer, <Um..you may not understand me, but do you think you can teach me to um...> He was about to say, "speak english" but then...writing would probably be a better choice. <Er..teach me to write?> Then realizing the trainer might no understand him, he smacked his face with his wing, and hopped around, muttering, <No, no, she doesn't understand me.... What now?>

Elani bit down on her lower lip and looked at Mystral. She grunted and they both looked at the Hoot Hoot again for a moment before Elani spoke. "Well...I suppose I could teach you to write," she agreed hesitantly. "Why do you want to learn so badly?" He was a quirky little fellow, odd and funny and she was willing to help him, just as she'd been willing to help the Wurmple with his Christmas scheme.

[style=padding:10px; text-align: center; font-size: 75px; text-transform: uppercase; color: #434969;] Pokémon ENCOUNTER The Hoothoot's face brightened at the girl's answer, and he hopped towards her. So she did understand him! But how was that? Was it some kind of mysterious power, or maybe she was psychic? The Hoothoot had heard of such people, being so wise, he liked to learn about lots of other things. Spending time out in the route and following after other trainers was nice, since he could gain a lot of new knowledge from the experience. Scratching out three letters he knew how to make, the Hoothoot stared at his sloppily drawn letters, and said to the girl, <Well, as you can see, I'm no good at writing.> Looking up at the sky, the Hoothoot said in a dreamy voice, <If I could learn to write, then I can pass on my knowledge to others. Then, all Pokemon will learn to communicate with humans.>
With his wide eyes, the Hoothoot stared at the trainer and her Swinub, Some trainers can't communicate with their Pokemon, so don't you think it'd be nice if all Pokemon could express themselves to their human partners? It may get rid of some of that Pokemon abuse that happens; wouldn't you agree?> Hoothoot (M) 7 Keen Eye | Insomnia Hypnosis - Tackle - Growl - Foresight Thoughtful - Wise - Quiet health is FULL GREEN!
