Introducing New Friends and Old Allies

[Anima Everhart]

Anima walked through the Pokemon Center's doors and over to the nurse. Handing her Damon and Ileana. After a moment of patience. They were handed back. "Oh, also. You have a friend waiting in the Pool area." The nurse said with a smile. Anima was a little surpised hearing she had a friend in the Pool area, but went into the room to see just who was waiting for her.

In the water, Cenric lied, calm. A dark purplish mark was seen on his left eye, where Leonard's attack had hit him badly. He opened his eyes as if he sensed his friend walking through the door. Cenric swam over to the pool edge and slowly climbed out and looked at Damon...'He evolve...That's a good sign' The Pokemon thought to himself. He nodded to his friend then looked at Anima.

Cenric couldn't see as well as he use to in the eye that was hit. Everything seemed darker in that eye. More evil. Anima could see this and frowned. Anima thought about buying him an eye patch, maybe what would help him. He wouldn't see well out of that eye anyway. She bent down and hugged her Pokemon. She felt so bad for him having to go through such a thing. After giving him the hug that they both needed, Anima sent out all of her Pokemon.

[Sylvia]

"PON!!!!!!!!!!" Teacup burst through the door, carrying a freaking out Alfred in her arms and clinging Anna to her head. She jumped into the pool, causing Anna to fly above it in disgust. Hmph. Sylvia walked through, Leonard trailing behind her. He had already been healed. All of them had healed. Leonard saw Cenric and smiled. "Leonard, be nice, boy." Leonard looked at her and then down. "I put Bin away." Sylvia held out her arm and Anna flew onto it, clinging to it and locked her feet. Her wings were starting to split and harden it seems. Sylvia knew that soon something magical would happen.

Cenric watched as a Panpour charged in and jumped in the Pool. Allen and Crystal were in that pool as well, but Cenric could tell that Panpour was young, a baby even. The baby reminded him of Kari. Both were rather playful. His eyes then went to Leonard. He wouldn't look at him long, he turned away and jumped into the pool with the other water Pokemon. Cenric wasn't too happy of the psychic type's choice. He wouldn't trust him like he use to. The other had already chosen his poison and his fate.

Outside. The sun was beginning to set. It was getting late. It seemed that Anima and Sylvia were probably going to have to spend the night.

[Sylvia]

"I'm going to go to sleep! Play nice everyone." Anna was still hanging onto her. "Fine, you can sleep with me. Come on, Ani." Sylvia walked out, but looked back in. "Don't cause trouble, Leo." Sylvia left. Leonard looked at Cenric and waved his finger towards him, telling him to come to him, and then to wait a minute for Anima to leave. "Ka. Kadabra, da." 'When the girl leaves, I must speak to you.'

[Anima Everhart]

Anima left the room as well. Kari was going to jump after her, but seeing Cenric wasn't going to come with she stayed in the pool room.

Cenric looked at Leonard and crossed his arms. He came out of the water, but he didn't say anything, his eye stung and all he could see was the darkest of evils from that eye.

[Sylvia]

Leonard looked at Cenric with one eye, the eye that was burned the FIRST time and then burned a second time, the one with the mark was shut. He stared at Cenric and held out his hand. 'You were a worthy adversary, friend. If it wasn't for that defense drop I would have won.'

[Anima Everhart]

'...No one won in that battle.' Was all Cenric said, he didn't take Leonard's hand. After a moment he spoke back up. 'When one has the ability to use strategy in their battle, one must use this ability. I teach this to my student as well. If you are able to change the stats or the status of you or your opponent. You will almost never lose. It is like a sword however, you must know how to use your attacks and abilities to their fullest. However, even in the end. I did not win, and neither did you.'

[Sylvia]

Leonard smiled deeply. 'Yes friend, that is true. As you know, as a Kadabra, I do not learn much in the way of strategic fighting until I really start to get near my evolving point. But you also know I am not a normal Kadabra.' Leonard teleported in his spoon and created a huge sword-like object out of it. 'If I so much as please I could surpass what my current ability would allow, and I have, but I still have trouble with even this.' Leonard's Psycho Cut disappeared in electricity and smoke. 'As you can see, the others cannot see us because of the bubble I created to hide our conversation. They think we're outside somewhere.'

Leonard pointed his finger at Teacup. 'The young one there. She is much in the way of us two. She can see us now, her ability is far from what I expected, but I do not think anything of it.' Leonard made his spoon disappear and looked at him. 'Now explain yourself. What is so special about your Scalchops.'

[Anima Everhart]

Cenric looked at Teacup, he knew he could see something in that Pokemon, but she is young, she most likely doesn't understand yet, but someday she might. He listened to what Leonard had to say. He mentioned his Scalchops. He couldn't say it though...

'What do you mean? My Scalchops are my weapon. Us Dewott use them in our strict training methods, you as a Pokemon should know of our unique training. It's never the same for each Dewott. A Dewott's Scalchops are never the same as well. My Scalchops are special because they are mine.'

[Sylvia]

Leonard opened his bad eye and smiled. 'Not only that, they emit the dark energy I feed off of. I suspect they were cursed in some way?' Leonard smiled deeply as he saw Alfred use water gun. He held out his hand, disabling it. He immediately started singing, hoping for everyone to join in the Round. 'It obviously was, but in what way it is up for you to explain.' Leonard looked at Cenric with a deep, caring smile on his face. 'Brother, I hope one day we can act as friends, not foes. That you can trust me with information such as this.'

Leonard teleported in another spoon and put each into the shape of half an 8. 'In the infinite expanse of time and space, one must keep eachother in check.' Leonard held the silver one up. 'In one case, space, you must realize that time could always stop this, make it halt, if they were to fight.' Leonard held up the other one, it looked to be a deep blue, as if forced that way by unknown forces. 'On the other hand, my friend, when time is stopped, space may come from different points in time to return to the stopped time, and be alive in well in that sense, having the ability to move and continue on as if nothing had happened.' Leonard put them together, forming the infinite symbol. 'This is why they never conflict, because they are always in an infinite loop.' Leonard stops them in mid air and sighs.

'Then there are things that can overtake both.' Leonard teleported in a third spoon, this one in the shape of a arrowhead. 'In some cases there are creatures. Creatures that can destroy the link and send everything off balance.' Leonard sent the object twirling up into it and split the two, sending them twisting and turning in either direction. 'That is something you must be aware of. Now it is your choice what you wish to believe, but you must realize that something like us is not natural, and though that was just a demonstration, but it is the same for our inclusion in space-time. We could never. Ever. Compare to the deities that rule over us, Arceus, Dialga, Palkia, and even Giratina. Those are some of the forces. But us, we are two that can go against others. Our destiny is set, but we may change it. The real question is.' Leonard pointed at Teacup and then to him. 'Where will you two go?' Leonard took Cenric's paw and shook it, leaving the bubble. 'Oh, and by the way. I would conceal any sight that you see from others. They might think you are insane, friend.' Leonard teleported off, a deep haze of darkness in his place. It dissolved, leaving Cenric alone with the others.

[Anima Everhart]

Cenric sighed. If only he knew... But there was no need for that, no one would need to know. Cenric grabbed one of his Scalchops and looked at it. Currently it only looked like a regular old Scalchop, one that several Dewott and Oshawott had. However, there was a secret about them, but he dare not say what. His past, he would never tell... Why would he? Some things are better left unsaid. Undiscovered. He looked at Teacup, it was curious to see how the child will grow, but for now, that future will have to grow.

Cenric walked over to Kari and sat next to her. She was the closest to him. They were the first to join Anima on this question. She is the closest to knowing about him. She smiled and curled up to sleep. It was late. Morning would come, they needed all the rest they could get.

[Sylvia]

THEY WOULD GET SLEEP BUT GUESS WHO HAD OTHER IDEAS 'HI!!!!!!!!' Teacup jumped out and landed near Cenric, looking excited. 'I'M TEACUP!! WHO'RE YOU?'

[Anima Everhart]

Cenric jumped as the hyper Pokemon jumped in front of him. He blinked a couple times. 'Uh, Cenric. Nice to meet you, Teacup.'

[Sylvia]

'Hehehehe!" Teacup looked at Cenric longingly and then sees Kari. 'Oh. Who's this?' An Ice type. Ugh.

[Anima Everhart]

Cenric looks at Kari, she was still sleeping surprisingly. 'Oh, that's Kari. I guess you can say she's my partner. Anyway, it's late. You should rest. Morning will be here soon and I have a feeling we have a lot of work to do in the morning.'

Damon walked over and handed the growth scarf to Cenric. 'Sir, I do not think I will need this much anymore.' Cenric looked at the scarf and then at Kari. He tied it around her neck. 'She'll be needing some training soon. She and Allen are currently the lowest in level. I have a feeling their turn will be coming up soon in battle.
