New team mates

[calitana]

Will kicked a stone down the path. He had gotten tired of waiting for Sarah and Kurtis to get moving and headed out on his own back to 801 in search of a new Pokemon. He was almost back to Dust Town with out encountering a living soul besides himself and Libra.

"Ling Deer?"~What's wrong?

Will petted his friend fondly. "We need another team member. I'd hate for this day to be wasted on just walking."

[dizzy]

The sound of his own footsteps was so familiar. It seemed all Navir ever did was walk, aimlessly and alone, with no destination at hand. Well at least some things had changed now. He did have a destination, and he had accompaniment. Navir would have liked to call his new pokemon friends, but he didn't really know them yet, and Hufflepuff really didn't seem all too fond of him. Arthur was simply quiet and Fai, well... Fai was odd.

Navir cast a glance upwards, his tired eyes squinting in the sun. He couldn't see the Angel up there, but he knew Fai was there, keeping an eye on him. The whole ordeal was still puzzling to Navir... he had no idea why the mysterious pokemon had felt the need to help him, of all people.

Regardless, the coordinator was thankful for the help. He had quite a task ahead of him, and he appreciated all the help he could get. Although he didn't really need much now, just walking along route 801.

[calitana]

"DEER!" Libra bounded over to a figure standing just down the road. he pranced and reared up showing off a bit to the stranger. Will watched this from a distance with amusement. His Deerling sure was a friendly little thing.

Libra Looked over at him as if to say ya comin'. when he didn't move Libra dragged the stranger over towards Will by the sleeve.

[dizzy]

Navir blinked as if confused by the little pokemon. It's bright attitude was refreshing though, and Navir gave it a soft smile, petting it lightly on the head before it took hold of his sleeve by its mouth. Surprised, Navir let the small pokemon lead him forward, not too surprised when it stopped in front of a boy who seemed to be the same age as himself, probably the Deerling's trainer.

"Hello." Navir's voice was quiet and a bit scratchy, like he hadn't used it much. He debated reading the stranger's thoughts, but decided not to, only for the time being. He was wary of others, but he'd let the boy speak for himself first.

[calitana]

"Little Brother is going to be sulky if I don't at least introduce myself. I'm Will. He's Libra. We're hoping to find some Pokemon to go up against and expand our team so we can take on the gym leader. How about you?" Will asked in a steady tone watching the stranger's face and body for any sign of a threat of dishonesty.

judging that they stranger was fairly nonthreatening he kept an eye out for wild Pokemon.

[dizzy]

Navir took a moment to watch Will's eyes. The fluttered about every so often as he spoke, and Navir could tell that Will was judging him. The thought made him laugh internally. The trainer was just as cautious as he was, and to be fair Navir did look odd with his worn and dirty clothes.

"I'm a Coordinator. Or rather, in-training to be one I suppose. I was headed to Gustella. I'm looking for someone."

[calitana]

Will nodded politely, "Best of luck with that." Will looked past the kid's shoulder and saw Dust Town in the distance. Libra nudged his leg and nodded to the grass, signalling that he was going to go play. Will gave him a pat and nodded his consent.

"I assume that you are going to be headed to Gustella. we best get going if you want to get there before dark." Will stared at the boy before turning to lead the way.

[Bayhound]

Gustella? GUSTELLA?! OH OH, he knew people--er, pokemon from there! Yes, he wanted to go too! Actually, the Poochyena wanted to see if these roaming things were familiar to him or not, not really travel with them. But still, ooooh, GUSTELLA! That's where everyone wanted to go on this route, it had to have been fun! Or wait... shouldn't he have known if it was fun or not if he knew pokemon from there? Ouch, all that thinking was making his head hurt.

Leaping out from the bushes, the male Poochyena blocked the trainers on their path, making an odd growly/bark noise at the two. "Poochy Poo! Poochyena!" OH, OH! I do not know you. Battle? he cried, wiggling his butt around like an idiot. However, despite the cuteness, one visiting pokemon was not as thrilled. Studying her target from the bushes, a stealthy Pawniard slunk out from behind some foliage, staring down the people that had invaded her 'territory'. This Poochyena would make a terrible battle partner, but she had to use what was available to her.

"Pawniard, Pawn." Leave, now. The Poochyena stared at her with a bewildered expression. "Poo? Poochyena!" Leave? But... but...!

"Libra stand down. Zealot you're up." Will flung out his other Pokemon's ball while Libra ran back to his side with his head slightly lowered with disappointed that Zealot was chosen not him.

Torchic emerged with a powerful battle cry. She flapped her small wings angrily and charged at the Pawniard without waiting for Will's command. With her sharp claws she attacked with a Night Slash attack.

[RESULT: 2]

Zea-23/23
Pawniard 13/15

[dizzy]

The thoughts of the Poochyena were honest and good-natured. The Pawniard's were proud and angry. The steel type was merely protecting her territory, and wanted them gone. Navir would have been happy to oblige, but the other boy had already proceeded to enter into battle with it.

Sighing and glancing to the eager Poochyena, Navir reached for a pocket on the belt under his sweater. "Arthur, why don't you help me with this?"

The Dratini did not let out a sound as he was released. He merely glanced to Navir and waited for a command. "Try an Aqua Jet."

[RESULT: Miss]

----

The Pawniard watched as her miserable 'comrade' bounded off in surprise and confusion. She was better of without the mutt anyways. She aimed her focus back on the opposing Torchic, racing foward to use Scratch.

[RESULT: Miss]

Zea-23/23
Pawniard 13/15

[calitana]

Zealot smirked while jumping back from the attack that hadn't even touched her.

"Zea!" Will commanded her attention with a tone of voice that made it clear that he was not happy with her inattentiveness. Zealot fluffed up her feather angrily but no the less waited for a command. "Crush Claw!"

Zealot jumped and grabbed her opponent with her talons and squeezed.

[RESULT: 9]

"Enough Zealot." Will called her off and chucked a Pokeball at the Pawnaird. It shook and finally dinged a capture. "Thank you Zea for a fine battle."

The little Torchic puffed out her chest proudly. Maybe this trainer wouldn't be so bad.

[Bayhound]

Despite how valiant the Pawniard tried to be, she was no match against her current opponent. When the last attack was made she still went down with a fight, submitting to the pokeball only because she too deemed Will a rather interesting battler. He'd better work hard to help her level up, though. She wasn't joining his forces just to become a bragging trophy.

However, this would not be the end of these trainers' qualms. With one of the last dark types defeated, a new era was about to arise in the forests of Varaia, and it was almost as if they'd brought forth this next wave of special pokemon on purpose. A dark air seemed to cover the area around them as two forms began to float their way, both of them doused in some sort of purpley coloring. The first form let loose a deep chuckle and spun around, making faces at Will and Navir, while the second one floated aimlessly.

"Gaaaaaaastlyyy~!"

"Loon?"

[dizzy]

Navir's eyebrows furrowed slightly as the Pawniard was captured. He tried to drag his mind away from the steel type, glancing back to Arthur in order to return the Dratini, when two ghost types appeared before both himself and Will.

His eyes widened a bit as her took a nervous step back. Was there to be an onslaught of wilds? Navir was almost positive that this was highly uncommon. The demeanor of either pokemon was quite different, and Navir once again aimed the one with a calmer mind.

"Arthur." The Dratini gazed silently back at his trainer. "Try an Aqua Jet on the Drifloon."

[RESULT: 6]

Arthur: 23/23
Drifloon: 9/15

[calitana]

Will had an evil glint in his eye. "Zea! Stand down! Libra! Let's go!"

The Torchic jumped back and the Deerling took her place. "Tackle won't work against him so use Absorb."

[RESULT: 8]

Ghastly:7/15
Libra 24/24

Will grinned as he let his pokeball fly. now he wouldn't have to worry about type disadvantage when he challenged the gym.

=================
The Driftloon shook off the water and floated innocently around. once close enough he used Constrict.

[RESULT: 8]

Driftloon:9/15
Aurther:15/23

[dizzy]

Navir raised his left arm slightly, indicating that Arthur should repeat his attack.

[RESULT: 3]


Driftloon:6/15
Aurther:15/23
