AJ paced in circles and fiddled with his fingers expectantly. He was waiting for a girl. Not any girl though. Marlaey, whom he had messaged to meet him in the park. He was very nervous. He still felt he should make a good impression.
Kura advised AJ that he should "Stop pacing about, you look insane. And from what I know, people do not like approaching those who look like they are going to murder them".
Kagu was on his back, snoring.

Marlaey walked through the park, huddled up in her big warm coat. It wasn't too cold today, but she still prefered to feel like she was wrapped in a duvet. All of her Pokémon were safely tucked away in their pokeballs as she walked alone. It was unusual for her, but then again, she was going to meet someone special, with a very important gift in her bag.
As she walked through the park with it's winter bare trees she noticed a figure ahead near the fountain pacing up and down like a madman. Yep. That must be AJ. She saw Kagu and Kura with him too and she smiled. Such an odd team, but they gelled so well together.
As she approached the team she waved, "Hi AJ!"
She grinned at Kura and the sleeping Kagu, "Hello to you two aswell." She looked at Aj, feeling herself blush a little. How was she going to do this?? It seemed like such a stupid idea now.. Oh man.. Ok, just throw yourself in at the deep end, she thought just do it! Go! Now! No more thinking!
With that she swung her bag around and carefully retrieved a round purple egg. She hugged it to herself for a moment before pushing it towards AJ, looking down at her feet. "Here", she whispered, "I.. I got you this.."

AJ got a freight when he was greeted Marlaey. He hadn't notice her approaching. His palms were sweaty. Before he had regained his composure a giant egg had been pushed towards him. "Ehh, thanks... but I'm not hungry right now" AJ explained. Kura cringed with embarressment for AJ and was about to help, but realised that letting things play out could be funny. He sat back; front row seat to 'AJ's instructual guide on how to talk to girls: Part 1, Goodbye'. Kagu was still asleep... Ekans Egg (1/10)

Hungry? Marlaey couldn't help it, she burst out laughing. She made sure AJ had a grip of the egg before she let it go though and then pat him on the shoulder, "No no... It's a pokemon egg! But I'm not telling you what's inside! It's a suprise." She winked at him before remembering the other present she had for him. Rumaging through her now lighter bag she retrieved a pokeball and held it out.
"Um, probably best not release him now... In the shop he seemed to prefer the dark! But yeah.. em, he's a Ghastly! I remeber you said you liked them! And then I saw one and thought maybe.." she trailed off, looking down at the ground. What was she doing? She looked like a stalker showering his with gifts! She quickly looked at Kagu as a distraction, he was always doing funny things!
He was still asleep.....

AJ held the egg at arms lenght away from him. Fear enveloped his face. He had visions of a Gyarados breaking out of the egg and biting his face off. This daymere was short lived as Marlaey handed Aj a pokéball. He instantly felt both horrible and incredibly appiechiative. With a sad look on his face, AJ said "B-but I haven't gotten you anything". He walked towards Kagu and placed the egg on top of him and the pokéball nearby. Kagu rolled over onto his side, still asleep, and pulled the egg closer to his body, hugging it. AJ meanwhile walked over to the grass and spent some time very selectively picking things up off the ground before he returned to Marlaey. AJ presented his finding to Marlaey. In his cupped hands there was a rock, two flowers and seed of some sort. "Here" AJ said "The rock and the flower's reminded me of you because they're pretty and smell good...Err not that I smell you. Or that you smell like a rock... Ummm I mean.... The flowers! They smell good and errr.... ya..... and the seed is like us i guess. Ready to grow into something great... Oh god that sounded stupid..." AJ looked at his shoes. Kura felt too awkward, so he decided to check out the pokéball. As he sniffed around it, he got the chills. "I know Gastly are supposed to be scary but there's something about this one...."Ekans Egg (2/10)

Marlaey hadn't expected AJ to feel bad about receiving her gifts. She berated herself for not thinking of that. When he put the egg and pokeball down she watched him curiously as he began searching on the ground for something. He picked up various random things as Kagu curled around the egg.
"What are y-" she almost asked before he stood in front of her, his hands cupped and held out.
She stared at the arrangement of items in his hands for a moment, nonplussed. But then he explained and her cheeks flushed. Oh man.. They were like a pair of children! Handing out gifts and feeling really embarrassed by the whole situation.
She took her presents gently, placing the stone and seed in her pocket and the flowers on her bag. Then she tackle hugged the young man, words just didn't cut it this time. She was so pleased he liked her presents! Was it too early to count them as valentines day gifts? she grinned at the thought.

Shocked by the young girl wrapped around him. He raised his arms from his sides and placed one on her lower back and across her shoulder blades before sinking into her. He hung on, wanting to remember her contours. Parhaps he held on too long, but at that moment he didn't care. She smelled like flowers. Ekans Egg (3/10)

Marlaey was surprised at how warm she felt inside as he hugged her back. She hadn't expected this. Hadn't expected to suddenly feel so much for a young man she barely knew. As the moments passed the reality of what she was doing dawned on her and she became horribly self conscious and embarrassed. Reluctantly letting go, she stumbled back, blushing furiously and muttering something about the egg hatching soon.
She looked up and smiled at AJ, hoping he understood how happy she felt.
Maybe they should return to the subject of pokemon before her emotions got the better of her.. Quick! Distractions!

AJ's eyes were closed before he felt his warm comfort being stripped away. When he came to realise what had happened he couldn't help but feel disappointed. He felt strongly for this girl. Parhaps too soon. It didn't feel real. He hoped these feelings weren't just temporary. He wondered how she felt. If he had made her awkward. If he has spoilt any future meetings they might have. He was only sure of one thing; he wanted to hug more. AJ turned his head to see Kagu staring back with one eye and his ear standing up attentively. Kagu quickly pretended to be asleep again. Kura was meanwhile mesmerized by the pokéball. Ekans Egg (4/10)

Marlaey smiled sheepishly, her eyes wandering to the growlithe whom she now noticed was awake! How embarrassing! She looked over at Kura, who was investigating the pokeball further. She nodded to him, "If we find a shady place around here we can let him out of his pokeball so you guys can meet him", she said, "And I can let out one or two of my own pokemon if you guys would like company?" She beamed at AJ feeling exceptionally happy.
"I imagine that egg will hatch soon, so you might want to keep a hold of it!"

Kura looked back at Marlaey with caution in his eyes. He was usually inquisitive but understood that somethings are better left unknown. This felt wrong to him. AJ skipped towards the egg while saying "Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme gimme". Kagu thought he was going to get attention from AJ. AJ bent over and picked up the egg without looking at Kagu. Kagu bowed his head in disappointment as AJ skipped toward some tree's with the egg in his arms. After the group arrived at the shaded area AJ excitedly threw his new pokéball a short distance away. A bright light emerged from the ball as it opened and after it faded there was nothing. Confused, AJ turned to Marlaey "Ummm, yay? It's a... it's a.... empty pokéball? For me to catch a new pokémon with or something?" ("I thought it was supposed to be a Gastly")Kagu froze with fear as he noticed a figure grow out of the air behind the group unnoticed. He felt colder. He couldn't make a sound. It was a Gastly, whom had a malicious look in his eyes... Name: ? ? ? ? ? ?

Marlaey tilted her head, curious at Kura's reaction. She'd thought he would have been excited to meet a new pokemon, especially a ghost type. She watched as AJ skipped over to the egg and couldn't help smiling. She was so pleased he was happy with it! She hadn't been sure if he would want an egg or not since raising a Pokémon from such a young age can prove difficult, but then again he was doing so well with Kagu already. Speaking of Kagu, the pup looked sad at the lack of attention so Marlaey went over to him and gave him a good rub on his back, smiling at him. He was so cute!
When she looked up, AJ was already skipping away towards a shaded area so Marlaey had to jog to catch up with him.
When she reached him he had decided to open the pokeball. But there was nothing there? She frowned, confused, "No, it can't be empty, there was definitely a gastly in there, I swear!" Just then she noticed the look on Kagu's face. Oh no.. "Um, AJ.. You might want to look behind you.. I think Kagu found the gastly..."

AJ turned around to see a shadowy figure before him. [glow=red,2,300]<So you are the one I'm bound too?>[/glow]. AJ shivered as Gastly's words didn't make sound yet rang through this head. "I am. I guess...". The ghostly pokémon leered at AJ [glow=red,2,300]<Very well>.[/glow] The Gastly sunk into the ground and rose again infront of Marlaey. <You> He spoke angerily. Deep and hateful. [glow=red,2,300]<Why did you take me from my comfortable aboad and bring me here to him?>[/glow] Kagu was like plank, stiff and motionless. Kura on the other hand, was fixed on the Gastly, preparing for what could battle. Name: ? ? ? ? ? ?

Marlaey watched the exchange between AJ and his new gastly, unsure of what exactly was going on. She was starting to wish she had at least one of her own pokemon out beside her. She unconsciously gripped Harper's pokeball as the ghost pokemon approached her.
His voice reverberated around her mind, hollow, deep, full of hatred. "I... You were in a pokemon shop! Cramped conditions.. poor quality of life.." she mumbled, feeling goosebumps rise.
Harper, even within his pokeball, must have sensed his trainer's distress because a moment later he burst from his confinement and stood between her and this gastly, growling.

The Gastly was moving closer to Marlaey as she spoke until Harper burst from his pokéball. In response to the pups growling, Gastly leered at him and said <You'll get your turn> before fading once more. Appearing this time infront of Kura he began to speak, <Have you something to say?>Kura stared angrily for a moment before thinking We are going to be stuck together. Parhaps I can quell his anger "What is your name?" Kura asked but with an unchanged tone, the Gastly replied <I have not had a name for a very long time. You, however, may refer to me as Yomi>, Yomi glared once more at Kura, now with a smirk. Again he faded, returning to Harper. <And now for you. Think youself brave. I don't have time for those kind of delusions. Sleep now> His pupils began to sway metrenomically, pulsating, in attempt to make the pup sleep.

Marlaey wanted to take a step backwards, but her experience as a pokemon trainer kept her still. Never back down. She looked the gastly right in the eyes, even when her insides were squirming with fear. Harper only growled in response to the ghost's words. They both watched the exchange between Kura and who they could now refer to as Yomi. The fact that the gastly kept fading in and out of vision was very disorientating for Harper, so it was no surprise that the ghost type caught him off guard. Before he could respond, the hypnosis attack took effect and Harper felt himself grow sleepy. He slumped forwards on the grass, eyes closed.
"Harper!" Marlaey cried out, crouching down beside her growlithe. She glared at the gastly. "Why did you do that? I bring you to a new place for a fresh start and this is how you repay me?!" Her eyes flicked to Kura and then to AJ. Wasn't someone going to do something? Or would she have to? She gripped another pokeball, ready to retaliate if things got any worse. For the moment however she returned Harper.

Upon seeing Harper succumb to his attack, Yomi's eye's narrowed and a truely malicious smile enveloped his face as he began to laugh. At once he vaporised as the pup was returned to his ball. There was quiet. AJ looked nervously about him to try and spot the ghostly creature. He spun around unsure what to do before he heard Kura calmly warn "Look there". Kagu let out a stupid grin "It's Harper! He's alright!". All was not as it seemed. Harper was seen to be standing behind Marlaey; his eye's completely black.

Her brow creased in confusion for a moment as she stared at the pokeball clutched in her had. She had just returned Harper, and this growllithe's eyes were blank and unseeing. It frightened her. But her anger overcame her fear. She glared at it. It must be Yomi. A dark sense of humour indeed.. Glancing over at AJ she whispered sadly, "I'm sorry to have given you such an unruly Pokémon..."She had only wanted to give him a gift, a Pokémon to train and grow with, and now this monster was going to part of hi team and it was all her fault. To protect herself, and AJ if needs be, she sent out another of her Pokémon. She chose her milotic, Celeste, hoping the large water serpent would be able to help calm the ghost type. Celeste whirled around to face the gaunt growlithe and emanated a calm aura, her long body swaying gracefully.

'Harper' narrowed his blackened eye's at the freshly released Milotic, but his stare soon softened and he sat down. AJ let out a significantly loud sigh of relief before turning to Marlaey "Don't worry about it... I like him... really!... he's.... eh.... I always wanted a Ghost type!" He said with a nervous laugh. Kagu was still on edge. He was petrified of Yomi and didn't want to go anywhere near him, no matter how placid he seemed. He was extremely grateful that Celeste had come to the rescue and shouted from a fair distance "Thank you Ms. Milotic! Eh... You look very pretty!". Kura, however, looked on at the Growlithe illusion, cautiously. The apparition then grew longer; it's front leg's began to vanish into it's torso, hind legs joined together, paws turning into a fan; it's ear's grew thin and long, long eyebrows formed; the fur sank into its body, revealing a pale, scaley skin with a blue and pink patterned tail. A mirror image of Celeste had appeared. However this one's skin began to bubble, releasing purple gas. The Milotic's flesh quickly rotted, leaking in between its skeleton until it drained into the soil, leaving only stained bones left. The bones contorted and creeked before breaking one by one and melting into the ground below. Yomi had vanished. Ekans Egg (9/10)

She returned her milotic quickly and stepped back, watching the apparition rot in front of her. Her eyes were wide and her heart had sped up. she barely heard AJ when he spoke. Instinct was telling her to run, but she couldn't just leave! She looked over at the egg she'd given AJ, was it shaking? She couldn't see. She couldn't breathe. A pokeball at her waist shivered and released Dovah, her charmander. Dovah looked around, aware that something wasn't right. He wasn't a very confident pokemon, but he needed to help his trainer out. Feeling more comfortable in groups he welcomed the company of Kura and Kagu, waving his tail at both of them.
