Staroulder smiled slightly and let off a wave of power that spread through Syl. It wouldn't hurt him, but it would give him an idea of his strength. Kalina moved past the other two and smiled nervously. "This is Staroulder" she said, wondering what he would think of her. "They rarely appear wherever and whenever Lunatone and Solrock gather in large numbers. Other than that, you'd have to search outer space." Solaris gave her a slight glare, which meant she was revealing too much. Yet for some reason, she couldn't help herself from revealing her deepest secrets. "When I said I wasn't from around here, I meant in terms of planets." She suddenly placed her hands over her mouth, shocked at what she just said. She was shaking slightly and was beginning to blush very hard. She knew exactly what this meant. She was falling in love with Syl!

Either he was very good at hiding his surprise, or her words didn't phase him at all. Either way, he shrugged and gave Staroulder another pat.
"Seems like a pretty powerful Pokémon." A thick red eyebrow was raised, curiosity getting the better of him once more. "If you're not from here, then why're you here instead of there? There's nothing on this planet except a bunch of morons and jerks,"
He motioned towards himself, and laughed. "Myself included."

Kalina seemed surprised by Syl's open mockery of himself. "How could you say such a thing about yourself?" she asked, making no attempt to hide her shock. "I don't understand how you can call yourself that. And as for why I'm here..." She felt the tears coming again. "My planet is gone. My beloved planet Roza was destroyed in a horrible war. We couldn't do anything to win. It was pretty much the entire Pokemon collection against us and our space Pokemon. Our resistance...it had no chance. My mother sent me and Staroulder to this planet to protect me, but the leaders of that army came after me. I have no idea where they are, but they're most likely corrupting more innocent Pokemon." She quickly rushed forward and hugged Syl, in a mix of seeking comfort from him and because she loved him. But she wouldn't let Syl know yet. He probably wouldn't believe her.

"Whoa, whoa, relax. It was just a joke. Besides, there aren't many people around here who like me." He tensed, mind wandering to his dealings with Team Death. "I'm sort of a bad person. Sort of..."
He trailed off, staring intently at the broken machine he'd come from behind, when suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by the sudden contact. Even though he'd just met her, he felt a bit sorry for her.
"I can't really say I know what you mean," Syl said steadily, hesitantly returning the embrace. "I uh.. never really fit in anywhere, not even with my family. I'm not really loyal to anything, or feel any sort of pride about my home or whatever," The words were jumbled as more emotions were conjured up. Even someone as jaded as himself felt it difficult to speak of such things.

"At least you have a family" Kalina cried, tears falling down the dress she had obtained recently, the one that she wore on royal occasions. "Mine were all wiped out." She let go of Syl and smiled at him. "Thank you for being so kind to me" she added, kissing him on the cheek. "I need to warn you though. I do not know the real name of those dark ones, but I call them Corruption Pokémon. They are pure black, but with silver eyes. Whatever you do, they must not make physical contact with any of your Pokemon, or they will become corrupted themselves. The only ones capable of resisting are those who come from space, like Clefairy, Lunatone and Solrock." She felt embarrassed about the kiss, and she hoped it didn't give too much away.

He flushed, slightly embarrassed himself. What the hell, he was never embarrassed! The elite prided himself on being stoic and/or pissed off and/or completely and totally deranged at all times.
"Well, I don't have any outer space pokemon," He said quickly, trying to mask any sort of budding feelings he might have. "So I guess if they attack I'm totally screwed. Aw well, I don't think any of my idiotic pokemon would be affected. None of them have any brain cells at all,"
He was mostly speaking of Jin, his Charizard, but the truth was none of his pokemon were very bright. At least not as far as he was concerned.

"It doesn't matter. Smart or not, they can't touch Corruption Pokemon" Kalina warned. "The three Pokémon that protected us, the Regi Trio, were the first to go. And then came the armies...Corruption Manaphy led the water assault. Corruption Rayquaza led the air and Corruption Mewtwo on land. That was what they had to defeat us..." She felt as though she had to admit this, because she felt she wouldn't see Syl in a long time. "I...think I'm...in love with you" she finally said, feeling incredibly embarrassed about this.

It wasn't every day he had somebody telling him they were in love with him. Hell, people rarely said anything nice at all to him. He didn't know how to react.
"I... That's uh... Well I don't know how to..." Nervous fingers idly twirled a lock of crimson hair, a habit he'd picked up from god knows where. "I'm flattered," he said finally, face relaxing into somewhat of a smile. "I.. need more time. But you stay safe."
Although the usual gruffness in his voice was replaced with something a bit softer, any and all feelings were completely masked at this point. He didn't want to give anything away. Syl reached out to stroke her cheek softly, before whirling around and fleeing in the opposite direction.

<Wow, something tells me he doesn't normally do that> Staroulder said in surprise. <Kalina, do you really love him?> Kalina closed her eyes in an attempt to calm down. But she ended up seeing nothing but Syl in her mind. <Yes> she admitted, opening her eyes. <Without a doubt. Now come on, we should go.> With this, she returned Lunar and Solaris and walked out with Staroulder.
((Board finished.))
