Mewtations Begins! LSU's Accepted!

[Haruko]

.kaede."ten".sakamoto.

[But when I am forgiven, the ungranted wish will be granted.]

"So...ten do you have any family members, parents? brothers? sisters?"Laura asked me.That's one thing I wished I had, siblings-parents.Family.I felt a tear trickle down my cheek, and I tried to stop the flow, and all it did is make me cry slower.

"My Parent's are dead, and I have no brother's or sisters."I replied somewhat in a whisper tone.We shared a silent moment for a couple of seconds before Laura's reply.

"I dont have any parents either, I have a brother but he disapeared when he got mad at his ex girlfriend, he said I would be safe here, but it's hard growing up with out a family"Laura replied sadly,"Hey if you kindof want...you could be like my big sister or something"

"Ohh---"I started to say,but stopped when a big guy that was dragging along another guy passed by our rock, not noticing us at all.Laura looked at the guy's face while I studied it, his and Laura's face was similar. She gasped, and I looked back at her with a concerned face on.

"Laura,what is it?!?!?!"I asked her, She looked shocked.
"Thats..my brother."She replied. Then...it all struck me...I remember his face from a group of people I had to murder earlier, before the little hypno incident. I felt relieved that I didn't kill him, because his sister would be in the same situation as me. With no siblings.But that mean't he was a Yevon Goon.

"About your question, Ok"I smiled,and she smiled too.I thought for a second, and sighed,"Let's follow them."
"I'll just follow closely behind you, ok?"
"But you'll have to be introduced to them sooner or.."Laura replied. I got up, and held my hand out. She grabbed it, and I felt her cold hands. I concentrated on that, and got her up without her fingers going through my hands.We started to walk quitely, though Laura walked faster than I did.I wanted to see where this was going, as the group started to walk a little more faster, towards somewhere.

[Bulbasaur4]

Kiarah

'Eldest' of the Midnight Children - F
*

They all began to walk... following this man who was not with Yevon or Gell, like us. Kiarah walked right beside him, along with Lorelei and the Yevon 'guy'. The children were mumuring a lot about different things... and Kiarah let them. She felt no need to keep order, as long as they kept moving. She turned around,
" Make sure you look out for everyone else. Make sure everyone keeps up... and if some one strays off, you better yell about it right away! No playing 'hero' like some of you..." Kiarah looked at the little seven year old taging behind her, clark, "... like to do."

With that she turned around... and looked at the neutral guy whom the Yevon had called a freak. That word had made her a tad bit angry... a freak... if he was a freak, then the rest of them were all freaks as well.
" You know... we should perhaps have the children tell us what powers they have." she spoke, looking at the man (SSM).
" It would help us... if they had any problems with their powers, and they couldn't talk or were in danger... it would help to know their powers."
"... and if we needed to attack.. but how do you know if they even know what their own pokemon powers are?" he added, nodding.
" I ... they have to know. I'm sure Mew told them." Kiarah smiled, glad he agreed... whirling around, she pointed to them.
" Alright everyone, while you walk... yell out what power Mew gave you, and any power you know you have as of yet.. even though it's early. That way we can help you if you have problems with it..."
First everyone thought... but then suddenly Clark smiled and yelled.
" I have... I think I have a pokemon named 'Arcanine''s powers... I can tackle things hard!" He said with a flamboyant grin... looking proud. Soon everyone began to shout out their powers... and Kiarah nodding, keep careful note of who had what powers. Soon after it had died down... I turned to the one leading us (SSM)...
" So... I know Mew didn't give you powers... but if you don't mind me asking, what's your name and... what traits lable you a freak by the Yevon? It would help us know you better..." Kiarah trailed off... before slowly adding, " ... it would help them trust you."

[Lorelei]

-Lorelei-

"You!" Lorelei said, waving her iron stave in the newcomer's face, threat lingering in her voice. "You do anything that seems remotely against us, and you're as dead a corpse. And, explain to the older ones here how you freaked this idiot out so much." she said, gesturing towards Roy with a scowl.

Roy replied something she didn't quite catch, but the man stared at Roy and Roy stared back angrily.

"Let's try and return to some state of normality, shall we?" SSM said. "I think we should try to figure out what has happened to everyone. Some of these kids seem to be turning into Pokemon, others look like they're falling through each other."

"That's definatly not normal." Lorelei muttered under my breath, and stared around at the children. Not normal at all. Listening for a moment as the boy called Mike was speaking with too many decibels, she stood still, but watching Roy carefully.

"I think Mike's right." Kaia replied to him, and Lorelei shrugged.

The group started moving, and Lorelei joined the group heading the walk, along with Kiarah, Roy and the other guy. With Kiarah inbetween the two males and Lorelei on Roy's other side, she made sure to match his pace, holding her stave at ready if she felt she needed to hit him from some reason.

"So, Roy," she said, feeling the need to be conversational, stressing his name like it was a dirty word, "why the hell are you here... Yevon get boring? Feeling a need to see your sister who you so trustingly ditched with your ex-girlfriend?"

Sorry about this, but I've been banned from the internet for 2 weeks. I would be really grateful if you could put Raven in some of your posts so that she doesn't disappear from the RPG. I'l try to post whenever I get the chance, but I can't promise anything. Again, I'm sorry.

Aww. That bites. Dun worry, we'll keep you alive. See ya in a bit ^^

[Krystalline Kabutops]

Matt:

As I walked, I noticed that Imani was staying rather close to me. She seemed to be acting a little protective, but as long as she wasn't making fun of me, I could deal. "Gardevoir!" I yelled out, in response to the power roll call Kiarah had initiated. Then it struck me; Transformation coulldn't be my ONLY power.
Hit the nail on the head there, kiddo.
Not you again.
Better get used to me, 'cause we're stuck together.

[SuperSonicMewtwo]

*-SSM-*
Well, it seemed like I was temporarily leading the group, assuming they didn't find me some evil bad guy. Kiarah seemed okay with me being around, but wanted me to express who I was. It seemed I'd have to reveal a bit of my past. That didn't matter, though. We began walking, not exactly sure where, a few of us heading the crowd with the kids trailing behind us. One of us should have stayed behind the group to keep watch.. but it didn't matter.

"So, Roy, why the hell are you here... Yevon get boring? Feeling a need to see your sister who you so trustingly ditched with your ex-girlfriend?"

"I had no idea I'd find YOU here-"

"Quiet!" I said, turning to the two. "One usually does not torture a POW." I said to Lorelei, "and POWs shut up and stay quiet until asked a question." I said to the Yevon member Roy.

"Once again, you want us to listen to you? Who are you?" Lorelei said, looking at me threateningly. I sighed, crossing my arms.

"I call myself SuperSonicMewtwo, SSM for short. I'm from the Team Rocket era, if you can remember them. They tried to use me but I went against them. Now I'm just trying to help people from those who cause trouble." I said this, sort of gesturing towards Roy. "I have the power of Mewtwo, and though weaker than a Mew currently, statistics show that I should become a more powerful psychic over time and experience.

"So.. you were a Rocket? You worse than me!" Roy said, chuckling to himself.

"They captured me. I wasn't exactly strong at the time. When I could, I destroyed their base and went around destroying each building I could get to."

"Why did you not get powers from Mew?" Kiarah asked me.

"I felt the energy coming, and tried to block it. I stopped protecting myself when I realised it was the energy of a Mew, but recieved little or no exposure. I felt a bit of wind come at me and that was it."

"How strong are you?"

"I've basically used nearly all my energy fending off Yevon, I'd have to be angry or in a pure enviroment to gain it back quickly.."

"Well there's no need to worry then, you hang around this guy long enough and you'll want to smash everything in sight." Lorelei said, looking as though she was holding back from strangeling Roy on the spot.

"Where are we heading?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Midnight Forest is very large. There are many caves and clearings, there's another open plain right up ahead, it would be good for reorganizing or making sure we're all doing okay." Kiarah said, pushing away some large leaves, to reveal the large empty space up ahead.

"Looks like we've found a home base."

[classy_cat18]

OOC: Look at all I missed.
EDIT: Sorry again.

Imani
~~~~~~~

"I'm part Jolteon," I said to the group. "I guess that means I can shock people." Kanna was still on my back, but Lily and Hermes had been in their pokeballs long ago. I sighed to myself and kept my eyes on the new people. If they tried anything, I would be well prepared with my daggers. But I was on edge, and that's not good if I was really part Jolteon.

Just don't make sure you don't shock me.

"Who said that?" I asked out loud.

Look beside you.

I looked over and saw Matt. He was the only one that seemed capable of doing telepathy. "Matt, stop doing that."

Matt gave me a look that told me that he had no idea what I was talking about.

I shook my head. "Nothing." I'm in desperate need of a shrink. I gave a sigh of relief as I saw the field. "Maybe I should test my powers. Hey Matt, get a load of this!" I poked him, giving him a little shock.

"VOIR!!" Matt cried out.

"What's wrong with a little static between friends?"

Heh heh. That was pretty funny.

You're inside Matt, aren't you?

Sure am!

Heh heh. That was pretty funny.

Sure am!

Not to sound rude, but Remember, Matt is currently a Gardevoir.

[Roy Karrde]

Roy Karrde
-----------------------------
I sat down, stretched, and tried to calm myself. If the Yevon helicopter was following schedrule it was making continuous 30 minute sweeps of the area, it was only a matter of a time for it to track us, and I was hopeing to be gone by the time the fireing started. "Lorelei, I know when I left, I didnt leave upon the best of circumstances" I began, she slid down next to me and snorted something I thought I would never hear her do.

"You left at the worst possible time, and you expected us to take on a kid while you went to fight for the bad guys, besides after what happened between us" Lorelei huffed making herself comfortable. Lorelei was always a hot head but she never acted this mad toward me, toward any one, I guess two years can change you.

I wiped some sweat from my brow, and cricked my neck. "Hey I am not saying that the problem that we had, it was stupid okay, it wasnt something to leave over but it was one of the reasons I went, if you dont like it fine, but if I didnt go to Yevon or Gell I would have been hunted for the rest of my life" I told her keeping a edge in my tone. I wanted her to know that this was the decision I made it wasnt the right decision but it was the best one. "and you would have been hunted down too"

Lorelei paused and then prepared to respond, I raised my hand to stop her, and found a smaller hand grab onto it. Stunned at who out of this whole group would have dared gone near me, I turned to find a face that I hadn't seen in two years. My mouth went dry for a second and we just looked at each other. "Laura?" I mouthed I hadn't seen her for so long that I thought she was dead. "Wow you've grown so much" I finally said finding the strength to talk after blinking away tears.

[Lorelei]

-Lorelei-

"Lorelei, I know that when I left, I didn't leave with the best circumstances..." Roy said, and Lorelei snorted in reply, neatly sitting down next to him and folding her arms over her chest.

"You left at the worst possible time, and you expected us to take on your sister, while you went to fight for the bad guys, besides after what happened between us!" she replied, keeping her voice down so that she wouldn't draw attention to a fight for once.

"Hey!" he protested and she rolled her eyes sarcastically, "I'm not saying that the problem that we had was something to leave over, but it was one of the reasons I went! If you don't, like it fine, but if I didnt go to Yevon or Gell I would have been hunted for the rest of my life..." he said edgily, and Lorelei faced away from his determinedly. "...and you would have been hunted down too."

Lorelei's fingers tightened to hit him across the face, and he lifted to block what he knew was coming, but she halted as Laura stepped over to her brother. Lorelei stood up, long red and brown sheet of hair flowing after her, with a low snap of, "Just take your brat and go, why don't you?"

[Krystalline Kabutops]

Athenae:

So, your name's Imani.
Yeah, how'd you know that?
I can read Matt's mind, obviously. I do live in his head, you know.
What's your name?
Athenae. I have a proposition for you.
I'm listening......
I need someone to take care of Matt, or at least be his "Owner" for what could be quite a long period of time.
But why me?
You've got everything I'm looking for in Matt's trainer. You'll never expose him to any life-threatening danger, You like to annoy him, you have other Pokemon to keep him company, You have a spare Pokeball, and you have the right personality.
Wow, thanks! So I can capture Matt?
Yes, you have my permission. Also, could you give him a bath? I can't stand inhabiting a filthy body.
Ok. Anything else?
I'll relate the answers to any questions you may ask Matt. whether he wants me too or not.
Great! Now, where's my spare Pokeball....?
Atta girl.

[classy_cat18]

Imani
~~~~~~

I looked at the group. Good, they're not watching. I pulled out the spare pokeball and looked over at Matt, who had his back to me. Now was the time. I drew my hand back and threw the pokeball at Matt, hitting him in the back. He was drawn in the pokeball before he knew what I was doing. One shake, two shakes, three shakes...

"Alright, I got myself a Gardevior!" I said quietly as I picked up the pokeball. Kanna looked up at me with a confused look on her face. "Look, he'll need someone to look after him, okay?"

"Cleon. Kecleon," she said sadly.

The funny part is that I was kinda starting to understand what she was saying. "We'll tell them later." I let out Matt and stared in his eyes. "How do you feel, pal?"

He didn't say anything for a while. Slowly his eyes watered, and finally he raised a leaflike arm and slapped me. "Gardevior! Voir Voir!" he rambled in a girl's voice. Great, it's not enough that he looks like a girl. Now he acts and sounds like one, too.

He'll get used to this soon.

I hope so. His whining is getting on my nerves!

[Krystalline Kabutops]

Matt:

I couldn't believe it! Imani had CAPTURED ME!!! What was she thinking?! I started to run for the others, but Imani recalled me to my Pokeball. I sat in the darkness, unable to move, and wishing I had some food. Before long, she had released me, and I took stock of my surroundings. I was right next to a pool of water. Imani released all her Pokemon, and pulled out a scrubbing brush. I looked on in Terror, realizing that she was going to give me a BATH!!
Oh, shut up. You're filthy, I can smell you all the way in here.
You! YOU DID THIS!!!
I might have been involved. The thing is, Matt, you need a Trainer. By putting you into battle with her other Pokemon, Imani will raise your level. Once Your level rises sufficiently, You'll begin to be able to use your powers.
I just want to be human again!
Not unless it's really needed, because you NEED to master your powers. In the meantime, get used to being someone's possesion.
I hate you.

"Matt, it's your turn!" Frantically, I tried to scramble away, but Imani had me by the scruff of my neck, and was ready to dunk me in the pool. "Gar?" I pleaded.




Athenae:

You know, usually it's customary for a trainer to give their Pokemon a Nickname.
But he already has a name!
Well, what's going to happen when people hear you calling your Gardevoir Matt? It's only something you need to use around strangers.
Well, I AM rather good at creating nicknames....
All you have to do is use it often enough that he'll respond to it, So think carefully.
I know! The perfect nickname for him is....

*nickname revealed in c_c18's post.*

[Roy Karrde]

Okay lets get this thing past the sub plots and moving again

Roy Karrde
----------------------------
"I met a friend" Laura said, I looked up and saw a woman that was standing over her, she seemed sweet, nice, and gentle.

"Thank you, for taking care of my sister" I said extending my hand, she looked from my face to my hand then back to my face and finally shook my hand lightly.

"It's was nothing" She smiled, I thanked her again and turned back to the group, time for me to make my big speech.

"Okay, you want me gone fine, but if you want a chance to beat Yevon, then I am going to stay, now everyone gather around" I yelled loud egnough for everyone to hear. Lorelei slumped back a little pissed, I would try and smooth over a two year disapearence with her later.

"What do you have to offer Yevon scum" Some one in the crowd of kids shot out, I kept Laura bu my side and said nothing. I figured it would be better PR work if I showed myself with my little sister so that I wouldnt look like a very violent person.

"What I have to offer is this, the helicopter for Yevon makes thirty minute sweeps of the area, it should be nearing this area in ten minutes, the standard Yevon automatic weapon fires ten bullets and then needs to be reloaded which takes four seconds that is your time to strike. The heat sensor on the helicopter cannot track people in dense forested areas that is why I say we move into the forest. At last sighting the Gell troops had secured Mew in a open area that open area is surounded by forest, best thing to do is come at them from two sides, strike them hard and you will get Mew back, now that is what I have to offer" I fired back everyone seemed a little stunned that I had just betrayed Yevon, and truely I was a little suprised myself.

"You heard him, now lets get moving" Kiarah yelled out, causing every one to begin scrambling.

[SuperSonicMewtwo]

A small post, but it'll have to due.

*-SSM-*
"Now that is what I have to offer." Roy had just finished telling us all about Yevon strike methods. Did he just not like Yevon? Or never stick with a group for a long time? Either way, as long as this information wasn't fake, it would prove vital.

"You heard him, now let's get moving!" Kiarah yelled. Kids began running in circles, trying to make sense of everything.

"Okay, listen up!" I called, deciding to trust Roy's info. "We'll lead an offensive against both Yevon and Gell! Forget who your friends are, I want half of you on my left and half on my right! MOVE!" Once again, kids were moving, though the adults simply stared at me.
"Each group will have a leader, and they shall attack Gell or Yevon, which ever their little hearts desire. I'll go where I'm needed. I believe that the older kids should be leaders, since they can stratagize better!" I then turned towards the older ones. "Which group do you want? I want to finish up Yevon but I really don't care where I go."

[The_Missing_Link]

Kaia
--------
Out of the corner of my eye, I watched Matt being sucked into the Pokeball that Imani had thrown. I gritted my teeth and had a sudden urge to grab the Pokeball from her, break it, force Matt back into his old self and help him change whenever he wanted to, either by force or not. Humans should not be kept in Pokeballs, no matter what.
<Don't get too stressed or I might have to restrain you,> a voice sounded in my head.
"If you're that voice inside Matt's head, I swear that you'll wish you've never been created," I hissed angrily.
<I'm not that dumb Gardevoir. She has no sense whatsoever. I, however, do.>
I looked all around before looking down at Drake, who had a gleam in his eyes.
"You have got to be kidding me....right?"
<Nope. I can talk to you and you can talk to me...well, you can only really talk to anyone in the Charizard family and slightly to any fire Pokemon. Other than that, I have to translate for you.>
"Well, at least I know where my powers are going to come from now," I said while running a hand through my hair. "Do you know what else I can do?"
<Yes, but it'll all come in due time,> he replied smugly.
I was about to reply when Roy started to yell.
"Okay, you want me gone; fine, but if you want a chance to beat Yevon, then I am going to stay. Now everyone gather around."
"What do you have to offerm Yevon scum," some one rudely shouted.
I had to remind myself to smack the kid later.
"What I have to offer is this: the helicopter for Yevon makes thirty minute sweeps of the area, it should be nearing this area in ten minutes. The standard Yevon automatic weapon fires ten bullets and then needs to be reloaded which takes four seconds-that is your time to strike. The heat sensor on the helicopter cannot track people in dense forested areas that is why I say we move into the forest. At last sighting the Gell troops had secured Mew in a open area that open area is surounded by forest, best thing to do is come at them from two sides, strike them hard and you will get Mew back, now that is what I have to offer," he yelled back.
"You heard him, now let's get moving," Kiarah yelled out, causing every one to begin scrambling, except a couple of us who stood around.
"Okay, listen up!" SSM called, deciding to trust Roy's info. "We'll lead an offensive against both Yevon and Gell! Forget who your friends are, I want half of you on my left and half on my right! MOVE!"
Again, the younger ones were moving except the choice few of us.
"Each group will have a leader, and they shall attack Gell or Yevon, which ever their little hearts desire. I'll go where I'm needed. I believe that the older kids should be leaders, since they can strategize better!"
He then turned towards us. "Which group do you want? I want to finish up Yevon but I really don't care where I go."
I thought about something before walking over to Imani and Matt, or rather that little nickname she gave to him but I could barely hear it and chose to ignore it.
"Look," I said flatly, "Humans should not be kept in Pokeballs, even if they do change into Pokemon. It's immoral and quite stupid. I don't care if that voice inside Matt's head told you to do it, Imani."
They stared at me incredeously, wondering how I knew about the voice but I continued on.
"Matt is his own person and if he doesn't want to be caught, you should respect that. Just because he can't change back doesn't mean that voice has to take control of him. And it's quite untrue that he can only learn his attacks if he's put into battles. My Pokemon grow everyday by just practicing and personally, that's what Matt should do since he won't be attacking Yevon or Gell every moment and we will need his psychic abilities in tough times. So, the only way he can change right now is if I instill fear into him and IF HE DON'T CHANGE BACK RIGHT NOW, I WILL GOUGE HIS EYES OUT! DON'T THINK I'M KIDDING!!"
And like before, he trembled before changing back into his clean human self.
"You know, I really don't like to do that," I told his shaking body. "If you take lessons from me and Nightshade..." I pointed to my Kadabra, "then you'll be able to use your powers sooner than you think. Also, Pokemon can not be your only company or else you'll completely start to think like a Pokemon. You're human and you have a whole group to converse with so I think it would be better if you stayed out the whole time and talked with humans and Pokemon. And you won't be in danger as a human once you change. I know you have a weapon on you that you practice with sometimes."
I yawned and eyed Mike and Annika stray towards us.
"You know I can't force you to do anything, Matt. It's really your choice and if you want to stay in a Pokeball and take orders from Imani and that voice in your head, I can't persuade you otherwise."
"Ok you five," I started again as soon as the other two came into our circle. "I say we go after the Gell helicopters since SSM is intent on going after Yevon. As far as I know, Imani can use electric attacks and run like a Jolteon, Matt can turn into a Gardevoir although he hasn't produced an attack yet, I have powers of a Charizard although all I can do right now is talk to my Charmeleon, Annika can fall through things and I have no idea what Mike can do. Instead of one person running this, we should do this as a team. Any suggestions on an attacking formation?"

[classy_cat18]

Imani
~~~~~~

You're not going to listen to her, are you?

Of course I am! I'm sorry, but I don't want to be thought of as a bad guy around here. I sighed and looked at Matt. "It's your choice, kid. I just wanted to look after you until you learned some attacks. Of course, you would have an easier time doing that with Kaia and her Kadabra."

<Good choice,> another voice said in my head.

Who the hell are you?

<I'm Thor, the Jolteon side of you. Sorry I couldn't speak up earlier.>

You're a guy! Will I be a guy, too?

<No. Now try to do something smart before I make you sprout Jolteon ears!>

I gulped. "CAN SOMEONE MAKE THESE VOICES GO AWAY!?!"

Kaia blinked. "Imani, are you going to be okay?"

"I just need some time to think for myself. Okay, we're going after the helicopters. I say we'll need someone who needs quick long-range projectile attacks to destroy the guns and bring down the helicopter, if we're able."

<I hope you know you just volunteered yourself.>

I know. Just want to make up for the recent stupidity. "Well, have you thought about your choice, Belle?"

"Stop calling me that!" Matt yelled, now in his human form.

[Krystalline Kabutops]

Athenae:

This was getting out of hand. I was part of Matt's Mind, only infinitely wiser. If I said he needed to be a Gardevoir, then he did. And it would teach him some things about relying on others, and thusly, working as a team. Seizing control of his mouth, I spoke. "Yes, Imani, I'll stay as your Pokemon. And Kaia, I would love to take you up on those lessons with your Kadabra. And," I smiled. "Refer to me as Belle." Releasing control of him, I transformed him back to his Gardevoir state before he could argue. Happily, Imani Picked him up. "Great, you can help me against the helicopters!"

[The_Missing_Link]

Kaia
------
"Oh no you don't," I said aloud and pulled Matt away from Imani. Putting him aside, I pulled Imani away from the others and whispered quietly.
"There, you fell for that voice's tricks again. Do you honestly think Matt would want to be called Belle or be a Pokemon on your team if he had his own voice? Before he changed back, he said he didn't want to be known as that. So really, we can't trust what he says. As long as she speaks for him, we won't know if what he says is truthful or not. Even I don't know if he wants my help or not. For now, we'll look out for him but tell me if he says anything that doesn't sound like him at all."
She nodded and we went back to the group, Annika and Mike looking totally confused.
"Matt, you'll stay with me and Annika. Mike and Nightshade will go with Imani and attack one side of the helicopter while we'll get the other side. We don't know if a psychic is needed or not so Nightshade, do what you can to help and protect those two."
The Kadabra nodded and walked off with the humans while I looked down at Drake.
"Listened to my conversation?" I muttered loudly enough for him to hear.
<No, but Nightshade did and told me everything. I don't know if Athenae did since she's still getting settled into Matt's body but we'll watch out for her.>
Athenae, eh? Well, she'll prove to be an interesting ally...or pest in the future, I thought.

[Krystalline Kabutops]

Matt:

Angrily, I berated Athnae.

WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!
Trust me, I'm looking out for your best intrests, whether you think so or not.
Listen, I want you to LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
Fine, I'll take a nap while you fight the helicoptors. Good luck, 'cause you're gonna need it.

Looking up at Kaia, I pantomimed writing, hoping that she would get the hint that I wanted paper. "Sorry Matt, we don't have any paper. You'll just need to figure out some other way to communicate with us until you learn telepathy." Angrily, and without thinking, I pointed my hands at a nearby tree and shot a small blast of Psychic energy at it, leaving a fist-sized hole in the bark. Kaia looked at me, then to the trunk of the tree. "I think we can now add the Confusion attack to Matt's arsonal." I looked from my steaming hands to the tree, and broke out into laughter. "Gar Voir Garde Devoir Gard!"
<Yeah kid, great work. You've mastered your first attack.> Startled, I looked around, and saw that Kaia's Charmeleon was watching me. <You can talk to me?> He snorted. <Of course I can. I'm a Pokemon too, in case you didn't notice.> <No, I'm sorry, I've just never talked to a Pokemon before, much less such a large.... and powerful..... Speciman as....... yourself......> Nervously, I inched away from him, only now realizing his potential strength. <Don't worry, I'm not here to attack you. Although, as Nightshade teaches you to master your Psychic abilities, I may help you improve your physical strength.> He pointed a claw at my thin arms. I covered it up defensivly. <Um, if you have any suggestions, how could I communicate with the others? I can't speak English anymore, and I'm going to need to talk to Kaia in the near future.> Idly, he played with his claws. <Well, I can communicate with her, if that helps at all.> I jumped nearly 6 feet into the air. <YOU CAN?! Great! Tell her that I need to talk to her as soon as we take care of the helicopters.> He looked at me, exasperatedly. <Sure thing. Just.... stop acting so girlish, ok? It really gets on my nerves.> Sulking, I turned my back to him as he related my statement to Kaia.

Athenae:

Imani.
What is it?
You need to retake possesion of Matt.
How?
Well, he IS your Pokemon, because YOU'RE the one who caught him. I do not believe Kaia will become angry with you if you keep him out of the Pokeball. And, you should probably tell her WHY Matt needs to respond to Belle. You're going to meet other people eventually.
Ok, but what will Matt think?
I assure you, I will make sure no harm comes to Matt at any time, although he might get a bit beat up while he's training. And please, tell Kaia to stop threatening Matt and myself. I am reluctant to return Matt to human form, because the next time I do, he won't be normal.
What do you mean?
He'll be female.
Permanently?
No, only now and then. Most of the time, he'll change back into his normal self, but occasionally, he will become a female human. I have a limited ability of Sight into the future in this ability, so I know it's going to happen next time he transforms.
Ok, I'll tell her, but not yet.

<What is it with that Athenae? She should know that it won't cost Matt anything if we use his real name.>

That's what I was thinking. Anyone else we meet won't know Matt, plus the name's common. You think we can trust her on what she said about Matt probably transforming into a human female?

<I can read your mind, but not hers.>

"Nightshade, are you too far from Drake to send a telepathic message to him?" He shook his head. "Tell him to tell Kaia that I'll need to talk to her later."

I turned to Mike. "You haven't told anyone your power yet. We'll need to know that if we're going to work together to take down these helecopters."

I looked to SSM, nervous and quietly I mumured to him...
"You can lead a group of kids to Yevon." I then turned my head to look at Lorelei.
"I think Lorelei should lead the other group of kids to go to Gell."
SSM glanced both direction... and t hen looked at me.
" No offense to any, but I was assuming you'd lead the other group based on how you seem to want to help the kids."
I nodded.. "I do, but I'm against fighting." SSM seemed to roll his eyes at this as if to go into a speech but I quickly responded..
" Perhaps when we're done with this attack against Gell and YEvon, I'll tell you why.... but I have my reasons for not fighting. Besides, I think the powers that I have aren't ready to fight. Just put me in whatever group you'll think will take the most damage. That way I can help the kids if they get hurt..."

I looked back at teh children, suddenly a pained feeling coming into my chest. I didn't want these kids... to have to fight already...
" Remember children, forget your petty fights amongst each other. When you go off to fight, LISTEN to either SSM or Lorelei, you got it? Stick up for each other, and don't let anyone fall behind!"
With that I turned and looked to SSM, "I'm thinking we should hurry... which ever group will probably have the hardest time fighting, I'll join."

Suddenly a voice behind me piped up...
" I wanna go wherever he goes!" Clark announced, pointing at SSM.
" Then get in this group." He gruffly responded, and Clark quickly fell into order- surprising, since Clark barely listened to anyone.

Please... Mew... I hope you did the right thing..

[Vulpix.ck87]

Er... howdy all.
It's nice to see the old rpg live on, and I was kinda wondering if I could join? Pretty please?? Since I started college my life has pretty much ended but I reckon Im in a place now where I could put time and effort into this kinda thing and it was always great writing with you guys.
So if it's not too late could I sign up again?

So we were going to fight Yevon and Gell. We had a bunch of kids, some older teenagers, A Yevon dude[Who happen's to be Laura's brother, go figure.]..And some dude who called himself SuperSonicMewtwo.I stood behind Laura, acting like her shadow so noone would notice me. I quickly looked for something to fight with, and I didn't wanna bring out my gun's. It would quickly bring suspicion, and it might scare Laura away.

And I grabbed Absol's Luxury Ball. With a smile enlightnening my face, I took it out, and held the ball in my Hand.I didn't know If I had anything besides being able to go through stuff, like Laura's hand.And That would only go so far.

I bent down towards Laura's level, and whispered in her ear,"Which ever group you go in, I'll join."She nodded, and I Looked at her, she didn't seem to have any pokemon at all.Did she see Mew at all?I wondered this as I kept in her shadow, hoping people wouldn't notice me at all. My deepblue hair kept to my back, and my eyes-straight fowardAnd Absol's pokeball in hand.

I hope Laura didn't pick the Gell-fighting group...There might be someone there that could Identify me.

VULPIX!!!!!!!
You're alive? Wow, we all thought you had sunk to the bottom of the English Channel or something..

As in the RPG's Name, Late Sign Ups are accepted. The sign-up page can be found here, you can find a detailed sign-up form there, and just post it in this topic. Be sure to read the storyline, and don't be afraid to ask questions; this RPG is different than the old Mewtations.

Now, more oriented for everyone: time for our first battle to begin! I shall have a post for SSM once either BL or Lorelei go, just cause I want to see how their in-RPG-bickering affects the battle first. Try to focus on the battle, thing like character capturing one another seem to have absolutely nothing to do with saving the world, more along the lines of being a Pokemon Master (which will be impossible if the last Mew is captured by evil bad guys!). Let's continue now.

[Roy Karrde]

* Does Happy Dance * Vulpix is back
For those who dont know Vulpix is the original creator of the Mewtations, and the three sequils. She played Cara who lead the group for over 30 years and went through everything from extraterstrial planets to time traveling.

Roy Karrde
-----------------------------
"I'm going with Lorelei then, to fight Gell" I announced, Lorelei stood up dusted herself off, looked at me like I was crazy, and took a second to gather her thoughts.

"Like hell you are" She smearked, I shook my head and tried to remain calm, this was neither the time nor the place. "The last thing I need is a traitor on my hands"

I clinched my fist like I was going to hit her again, but decided to unclinch them, hold them up and walk away, showing that I had given up. "You dont want me around fine, I understand, but remember who traitored on who first" I said sarcastically, I knew that I had gotten in, she needed me more than SSM did, and if Yevon found out I traitored than I might not come in useful later on.

"And I'm going with you" Laura chipped in, I turned around shocked and suprised by her comment. "What?" She asked as I took her by the shoulders and led her and her friend away from the group.

"Roy if you have a problem, I'm more than qualified to watch over her" Ten added in, as we finally made it out of ear shot of everyone else.

"I know about your qualifications, it took me a second but I remember you from a report on high ranking Gell killers" I said through gritted teeth, she looked shocked for a second that I had actually recognized her, but she finally spoke up but I silenced her. "I know you have reformed also or you think you have, that is why you are going to stay here and protect Laura" I added, the three of us remained silent for a few minutes until I turned around to leave.

"Your not going anywhere" A black cloathed man said steping out of the bushes holding a automatic weapon. It was Gell. "You have been captured under the name of Gell"

[Lorelei]

-Lorelei-

"God, get over yourself." she snarled after his retreating back. She then turned to face everyone else for a moment, to count heads of who was coming with her, but she thought for a second. This was definatly not over, and he was definatly not coming with her.

Straightening up and moving to storm after him, she roughly stepped after him, exiting the caves and catching sight of him easily, opening her mouth to say something, but seeing the Gell member, weilding a possibly lethal weapon, her words changed immediatly, "Smooth move, Roy, just waltz out into the open..." she snapped, flicking her hair behind her shoulders with a scowl. Holding the iron stave behind her back, her eyes flickering at Roy, his sister and some other kid, she added to the Gell man, "Oooh, you are you?"

"You, don't move either or I'll blow your bloody head off." the Gell man replied, moving the gun onto Lorelei.

"Will you?" she said in a mock-terrified voice, taking a few steps towards the man with a grin, moving a bit suggestively. "You wouldn't hurt us... we're only innocent teenagers."

"I'm warning you, you'll come quietly to the chopper or I'll shoot you dead." the man replied sternly, and Lorelei blinked round cinnamon-colored eyes.

"Oh, come on, I wouldn't hurt a fly." she said, in a fake voice, letting nothing but feigned innocence shine through. Now having walked almost right infront of him, he jabbed his gun's barrel at her head. She tilted her head slightly, and added after a second's thought, "Unfortunatly, you are not a fly, and..." she didn't bother adding the last words, and swung out her stave, hitting his across the head with a heavy blow. The Gell man, taken offguard, was knocked over, being hit in the face, and he landed on his back. Kicking the gun out of his hands and purposely stepping on his face, she glanced back at Roy and the two girls angrily, and snapped, "What are you waiting for, an iron pipe in the face will only stun you..."

"You haven't told anyone your power yet," Imani said suddenly to me. "We'll need to know that if we're going to work together to take down these helecopters."

"Huh?" I said, startled. "My power? It's, um...Ditto powers...I think..." I didn't really know how to explain it further. "I'm not sure how far the powers go, though..."

"Well, try them out!" Imani suggested. "Try Nightshade here."

I looked at the Kadabra. Kaia was off talking to some other kids, so I felt safe for now. Focusing, I thought 'Transform' and almost immediately felt my body shrink slightly, growing outwards, sprouting a tail. Soon I was looking Nightshade in the eye and everyone around was giving me big "oohs" of praise.

I looked at myself. I looked pretty much like a Kadabra, except all of my old clothes had been draped around me. Then I felt this huge surge of power...and I realized that I could now attack like a Kadabra.

<Interesting,> I heard Nightshade say, even though the words sounded as Pokémon talk.

<Woah, this is weird,> I said through the Pokémon talk. I heard Imani talking, but it took me a while to realize it. She was saying I should transform back. 'Aww, and just as I was having fun...' I thought to myself, but I transformed back anyway. My clothes seemed to magically stay where they should have (although at that point I didn't know that it was because I was subconsciously controlling them to do that).

"Hey, I just had a thought." I turned to Saeko who had just spoken. "Since Ditto's a Pokémon that can become other Pokémon...wouldn't it be logical that you could become other humans?"

"Are you volunteering?" I asked, and with an embarrassed smile, replied "I guess so...if you want."

"Okay, same as last time..." I said to myself. I looked at Saeko, just as I looked at Nightshade, and thought 'Transform' once more. This time, however, it was completely different. "Holy ****, what the Hell happened?!" I said in Saeko's borrowed voice as I collapsed suddenly. Immediately I tried to determine everything that had changed.
~~~~~~~~

Saeko

"Hey, I just had a thought," I said, as Mike went back to human. He looked at me as I continued, "Since Ditto's a Pokémon that can become other Pokémon...wouldn't it be logical that you could become other humans?"

"Are you volunteering?" He asked with a sly smile. I grinned, embarrassed. "I guess so...if you want," I replied.

"Okay, same as last time..." he muttered to himself, and stared at me. Suddenly, as I watched, he changed, but instead of in some weird flash of light like when he changed into a Pokémon, he just morphed his human features. Quite by surprise, he suddenly fell down to the ground, as if he had been kicked in the crotch or something.

"Holy ****, what the Hell happened?!" he cried, but it was with my voice...I was spooked, to say the least. It was also very odd to see my own body standing...err, sitting in front of me, never mind seeing it in clothes that weren't mine. Very quickly, I saw him change back to his normal self, his whole body moving from his breathing hard.

"Are you okay?" Imani asked, going over to help him up. The people who weren't distracted by the other people were gathering around now, suddenly realizing that something had happened.

Mike finally got his voice back. "I'm fine...but it's gonna be a long time before I do that again..."

"Are you kids going to fight or what?" The one called SSM was obviously very annoyed at us. "Now come on, pick a side, Yevon or Gell, and go help fight them." My heart skipped a beat. My parents...they were in the helicopter from Gell...and these kids wanted to fight them? No...something was wrong...these other kids, they were wrong. Mew was the answer...

But Mew hadn't been the answer I had thought we'd been looking for. Mew had seemed...afraid of the helicopters. Maybe...maybe my parents were wrong in their search...

"I'll help with Yevon," Mike said, walking over to that group. "Wait for me!" I called after him, rushing to catch up. I needed to stay in contact with someone I knew...I couldn't be alone out here.

"We have you now," a cold voice said behind us, making the hairs on the back of my neck stick up. I spun around to see a man holding out some big gun and pointing it at us. "Come quietly with Yevon and nobody gets hurt."

I saw red. "Likely story," I shouted, startling even myself. Before I knew what I had done I was on top of the man with the gun, throwing punch after punch. With each punch I could feel the power inside of me growing constantly. I felt my arms get stronger as though my muscles were bulging, but they didn't look any different.

After about half a minute the man was on the ground, unconscious, at least. I realized everyone was looking at me, and I blushed. "Guess I don't know my own strength..."
~~~~~~~~

YAY, Vulpix is back! ^______^

[Ice Maiden]

Gah, this is gonna have to be a really short post, since I'm sneaking on the computer.

~Raven~

"Okay, listen up!" Shouted SSM, who was stood a few meters from me, "We'll lead an offensive against both Yevon and Gell! Forget who your friends are, I want half of you on my left and half on my right! MOVE!"
I scampered over to him, avoiding Lorelei and Roy dueling it out on the floor.
What's with them?
"Each group will have a leader, and they shall attack Gell or Yevon, which ever their little hearts desire. I'll go where I'm needed. I believe that the older kids should be leaders, since they can strategize better!" SSM yelled, nearly bursting my eardrums as I was stood right next to him.
"I want to finish up Yevon but I really don't care where I go," he finished.
Suddenly, I felt something prod my leg. I took my hands out of my pockets, then turned around, snarling.
"Whoever did that is gonna PAY!" I growled.
I lifted my hands up to rub my eyes, when a sharp green object caught my eye. Literally. I squealed in pain and quickly withdrew my hands, looking at them. There were thorns all over me, about an inch long.
So this is what Mew ment when it gave me the power of Roselia...

[Vulpix.ck87]

*hugs you all* Gah, I've missed you guys!! And thanks for giving me such a warm welcome!
I've read the first couple of pages and i'll try and read the rest and make a post as soon as possible.
Ah, it feels good to be back ^^

*the small vulpix curls up and begins to read*

[Vulpix.ck87]

Ah, this may be a tad long...

Name: Cara Harper Cody-Lee Hawk. Call her Harper - that is the name she gives out, for secuirty reasons.
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Alliance: Outsider
Physical Looks: At 5"8, she stands slim with pale, moon-white skin of a translucent quality and smooth, supple feel. Her nails are pointed and transparent/ white, white claws, and her teeth are sharp. She has a bold chin and deep forest-green eyes set beneath dark furrowed eyebrows. Her hair is just past chin length, ruffly at the back and fades from a dark golden blonde to coal black(the front strands and the tips) giving her a singed look.
Her right ear bears two rings at the top and a ring and stud at the bottom lobe - her ears are small and slightly pointed. She wears a strappy black top, low and close fitting, and black shorts. There is a belt at her waist - slanted and bearing her dagger's sheath on her left side - and black/grey goggles at her neck with a belt like strap. She also wears black knee-high socks, and when possible, her scruffy black boots(resemble battered Doc Martens). Her clothing must be tight fitting as she is a shifter, and only skin tight clothing can be morphed.
Personality: Loyal, brave and trustworthy. She's often wary of humans, like a wolf, but she can be tamed.. though antisocial and mostly a loner, when she makes friends she sticks by them to the death.
Pokémon: Her ever faithful vulpix, Ember.
Power: She can transform to any pokemon she wishes, HOWEVER.... shifting to the form of a legendary pokemon or extremely strong pokemon (example, dragonite) takes alot out of her and can leave her on the verge of death. Becoming any normal pokemon (eg. vulpix!) bears no consequences, and transforming into a larger pokemon, charizard for instance, may leave her hungry and tired.
Weapons: Only my wit!!! Looks like Im screwed then, eh?? ~_^
Other: My history but I'll explain that in my post...

§Harper(Cara)§

['THE RECENT DECADE has been a rollercoster that reaches high up into the heavens, and then plummets down to the depths of hell. As soon as we think we have found safe ground, whatever stability we have mustered is seemingly destroyed. As the world plunges into deep rifts of darkness once more, this reporter strives to know what went wrong.
The year 1994 was, indeed, a great one. The human and pokemon worlds had joined in unision to form the greatest alliance ever seen as the pride of the Pokémon League, Red, took his seemingly rightful place as pokemon champion. Since man first discovered fire, pokemon have always been there by our side, but in that eventful year, the small buds of friendship bloomed, and the bonds formed since seemed nigh indestructible. This great rally of friendship and freedom nearly destroyed Team Rocket, a small but highly ambitious project at the time. If only that were so..']

A small but determined child stands defiantly infront of her mother, eyes blazing. They would never take her. They would never kill her. Every bone in her body sceams defiance at the threat. But she's only five years old, and her mother is already gone.. She runs to the fields, in search of her, the woman who raised her by herself, who loved her, that shining beavcon of care and love.. but she cannot see anything but death and degradation. A single soldier lies dead, scorched and torn among the many innocents, and the logo upon his chest bears the letters 'TR'.. she follows the stream of crimson further through the trees, and catches sight of an embroided piece of fabric, snagged on a branch of a hawthorne bush. She seizes it and clings the damp scarlet handkerchief to her chest, not acknowledging the fact that it had once been white. The trees finally part and the blood is spread in large pools. A small brown fox like creature darts from the trees and knocks her backwards to the ground, as if to prevent her from seeing the gory sight. But it's too late.

['Come '95, tragedy shook the land. Red, near god-formed champion, was brutally murdered by his own pokemon. Some said that the pokemon was an imposter, others claimed that Team Rocket were responsible, and a rumour spread that the pokemon had been under a trance of a dangerous sorts... All accusations against any particular party were flaunted though, and the world began to turn on itself within time. The bond so strong of human and pokemon was shattered, as humans became mistrustful of their lifelong friends, and some even sought to destroy them all.. in retaliation, stray bands of pokemon attacked human settlements and pokemon battles became a tad more literal. Not until 1997 was the truth discovered about Team Rocket: theft, murder and political defacement, and of the god-defyingly twisted experiments(on both human and pokemon subjects) conducted in the secret bases. By the time the hideous truth emerged, power had shifted hands. Team Rocket had grown strong in our time of weakness, and had rendered the people helpless. There was nothing the people - broken and frail and enemies of their own person - could do. And it was their own fault.']

A young girl crouches alone in the doorway of some abandoned house. Team Rocket had already passed through here, and little remained. As far as a pidgeot's eye could see, there was nothing. Yet she was not quite alone. A vulpix nuzzles at her hand, but she cannot offer her friend food. Only warmth and bravery and trust, something mostly lost amongst the human race. She eventually drifts off to sleep, and the ache of her bones, the freeze on her skin, and the lack of food in her stomach are forgotten as she slips into slumber..
A blinding light!! And she's on her feet, clinging to the small fox at her breast and running as fast as she can.. there's no way she would be taken, they would never have her. They would never kill her. But she's only seven years old, and is no stronger or faster than she was before. She grasps the vulpix with all her might, her claw like nails embedded into it's skin. The vulpix yelped in pain, but also welcomed it, and dug her own claws in defiantly.
The girl with the fox pokemon had come to a halt at the dead end of an alley. She turned and squinted into the torch lights as a number of stealth-uniformed men pointed their TR standard rifles at her.
"We found her, Boss,"A gruff, affirmative voice said. Cara blinked and looked into and through the light at it's owner. One of the soldiers.
"Excellant."The source of the second voice was unknown. However, a persian slunk forward. Intrigued by the pokemon, she cautiously leaned forward as it stretched up to sniff at her with it's delicate pink nose. A second soldier stepped forward, a second gun was cocked and Cara lifted her head in time for the man to get a clear shot of her neck.
The dart struck her vein, and she fell to the ground, unconcious.

['TWO YEARS later, 1999, team rocket were flying high, their numbers had soared and innocent people trembled in the streets. They terrorized both people and pokemon alike, mercilessly shattering what remained of the bond between the two along the way. Paranoia, fear and hysteria spread among our world's population like a wild fire, destroying every hopeful mind in the process, aswell as every glimpse of safety and security we could ever dream of. Concentration camps were set up, 'research labs' that were really just a sick joke came into being and millions were slaughtered. A dark age had come upon us.']

Pacing in her cell, she waited for her captor, her torturor, her father to appear. She knew the routine. She knew the outcome. It would not differ. Her father.. he would not stop. Not until he had drained every spark of life from his own daughter's body. He had goals. He had come this far, and he could go father. He could stand, unopposed, ruler of the earth.. He had the tools, he just didn't know how to use them. The 151st pokemon and his own blood. But since he was too much of a coward to use his own blood, he used that in his daughter's veins.
The lock clicked loudly, and echoed around the small room. She was grabbed, shoved, forced down the hall, and into the lab. This final time.. it would be the death of her, she was sure.. Strapped to the chair, the scientist approached her, steely eyes showing no pity for the child before him. A needle's tip plunged into her arm, instantly she became woozy, stopped stuggling. Her mind was aware, though all she could see was a blur, all she could hear was a screech of tear of metal and mechanical laughter. She felt the slice down her abdomen, felt the blood surging and she fought to kick and scream but was paralysed. Her mind desperately, uncontrollably flittered from image to image, her mother, her vulpix, a pidgeot, flying... she fought to wretch, her body spasmed but someone pressed down on her airway. Suffocating, stuggling, dying she felt the pain. A darkness began to spread, from the hazy mingled blur at the edges of the world to the centre of her squandering vision, drowning out the flashing lights above her.
She was blind, lost to the world, enveloped in shadows, but then.. like a ray of hope and healing and warmth, pink light exploded before her. Her body tingled, but in a good way, she felt.. renewed.
'Use this power.. you must hide until the time comes.....'
The girl suddenly jerked up in the seat, the straps that bound her broken, the scientist that had twisted, mangled and picked away at her piece by piece.. gone. She looked up to the sky to see the roof torn open, and dark clouds threatening above. Lightning flashed downwards from the sky, stabbing like forks. Torrents of rain pounded down likes waves crashing, and turning the grund into a quagmire. She scrambled up out of the chair, not surprised to find that she had been healed, and only a long white scar remained where she had been cut. She darted to the the farthest wall which now lay in ruins and ran outside into the storm. In the distance she could see a boy, of brown hair and blazing eyes unleashing attack after attack on the building. There was a look of pure triumph and ecstasy on his face as he fires balls of concentrated psychic energy on the bulding, reducing it to nothing. A tear trickled down my cheek, I was free. I silently thanked my saviour, and the girl fled to the forest once more.
This time I would not be found.

['THE YEAR IS now 2008. It’s been 13 years since the pride of the Pokémon League, Red, rose to stardom. Team Rocket was completely abandoned 9 years ago, the reason unknown, or perhaps merely untold. For some time, there has been peace on earth. Now, however, a new threat is forming. We are torn between the two religions of Yevon and Gell, and it seems we must be on one side or the other. But choosing one would not just be rejecting the other, but making dangerous enemies of them. The propaganda released by the goverment forces us the choose one path and, in time, to eliminate the other. No agreement can be met, no mercy on your part is spared. We are being forced to believe something untrue and unlawful, and to divide our nation.
'This reporter, remaining anonymous, wonders if it is but a cruel trick. Of course, this leads to the question of who the joker is.. Who is behind all this? How can we stop them? The only definate name that comes into view is Cara. It is a meaningless name, and no ties to it can be found but it keeps reappearing again and again. The reporter urges you, with all it's will, to come together once more. You are being used, you're are merely pawns in a corporate duel. It is time to form as one again, no longer be the puppet but cut off the strings that bind you, think with your own mind. Bring the puppeteer down. The search for 'Cara' begins.']

I dropped the paper into the bin. After all, it was of no concern to me.
I no longer went by that name.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cara/Harper will now follow a helicopter of Yevon's (she opposes them with all her might) to the midnight forest. I'll arrive during the battle, ok? Probably post tomorrow.
PHEW!!

[SuperSonicMewtwo]

O.o. Vulpix, during your time gone, you take some sort of writing class? As I read your post on TR it seemed oddly similar to what SSM endured while w/ TR from the old Mewtations days... Hehehe i happy i save cara! *pumps fists* Allthough I doubt SSM would have had a look of ecstasy.. Bah, yah never know. Great post.
Too, many, people using the color red! TOO MUCH BLOOD! Must, use, completely different counter color..

KWA!!!!

Eh heh heh.. righto...

*-SSM-*
Most people went off in the direction of Gell. Some of the kids ran around me, eager to take on Yevon. Their enthusiasm had better last, the plan I had formulated would require backup.
We wandered further into the forest, and after some time the familar whirl of helicopter blades. I focused my eyes the best I could at the machine, and could see the logo of Yevon. Turning to the children around me, I said "I need you to stay back. I'm going to attack that helicopter, and then I want you all to make sure that all there is left is flaming reckage. Use any powers you have, and if people are alive, try to keep 'em that way. Knock them out if needed, but they may have information like Roy did so they may prove useful." The kids all nodded, and I began walking forward alone. I crouched down and began focusing on flight. I could feel the air around me and set it to help me go up.. But not yet.. I had to wait for the helicopter first.
It was drawing nearer, soon it was right above me.

"NOW!" I yelled stupidly as I jumped with all my might and the wind helped carry me straight up. I began to focus all the energy I had left into my arms, and hoped it was enough. I rose higher and higher... And shot passed the helicopter.. Only to grab one of the spinning blades. I could feel my right arm slice open as the helicopter motor tried to cut through me.. But I just put forth more power, and yelled out as I used everything in me to throw the helicopter down in front of me. The thing fell quickly, and exploded as it hit the ground. I fell too, having nothing left, grinning at my success.

"Now it's up to them." I said as I crashed through the trees and hit the ground below. I felt my left arm get crushed on impact, and winced in pain. Neither of my arms would work now, and I was to weak for a Recover attack. I lifted my head slightly to see the kids running up the the wreckage. I smiled once more before I drifted into unconciousness from blood loss.

Narh! Feel the pidgeot wrath of vulpix!!! Wait a minute.. pidgeot? *looks down and finds herself a vulpix-pidgeot hybrid* AHHHHH!!! *goes to unleash wrath anyway*

The soda slid across the stainless steel counter. It bubbled: cool, liquid, irresistable. I grabbed the glass, ignoring the straw and gulped it down in a matter of seconds. Ah.. I thought, feeling refreshed. So much better. I bought a second drink, and went to sit my self down somewhere else. Finding a small table in a corner, I sat down and opened my bag. A vulpix crawled out, looked at me with an annoyed expression, and began to wash her fur. I sighed.
"Ember.."I said, in a half exasperated, half pleading voice. She turned her head to lick her tails, ignoring me completely.
"I guess i deserve this. Im sorry. But whatelse could I have done?"
She sent me a look of digust from those fiery little eyes and this time, I was the one to look away. I stared at my drink for a while, apparantly mesmorized by the bubbles but not really seeing anything at all. She was right..I thought glummy, I was a coward. I had left them to die.. Ember had wanted to help but I forced her away against her will. I glanced guiltily at the three scratches on her back - talon marks. But we couldn't of saved them, or maybe we could of, but we wouldn't of come out alive. So what if I had a great instinct of survival? It's only natural, after what I'd been through... but that was the whole point wasn't it? Something seemed to click.
"I know, im wrong,"I admitted."We should be helping, not running. I mean, we ourselves have been through it, and how many times did we wish there was someone to help us?"
"Vul,"Ember said quietly, but proudly. She licked my hand. I stroked her flank, and gently reached to touch the cuts. She flinched.
"Sorry,"I picked up the soda and put it to my mouth, but did not drink and put it back down."So what now?" Ember, my vulpix, did a very good mime of something involving bravado, heroics and life threatening consequences. Then shrugged.
"Gah, I finally get in-!"I began to say but vulpix cut me off. She cocked her head to the left, then right, ears swiveling desperately.
"Vul!!"She yelped, making me jump and raising a few heads.
"What is it, girl?"I asked but she simply darted to the glass door and pressed her paws on it. I ran to the door and outside, and could instantly hear what she had been warning me of.
I dashed back inside.
"Helicopters!!"I yelled and looks of fear spread simultaneously across every face of the cafe's occupants. The bartender, whipped a rifle from under the bar, and pulled down the big metal sheet that covered the counter at night or during attack. I myself ran to Ember. These people were good and warned, they had to go deal with it now.
"Do we stay and fight, Ember?" I asked, sounding braver than I felt. She stood her ground and I took that as a yes.
As the helicopters came closer, black and sleek against the dying sunlight, we meandered towards the highest part of the road that cut through this small town.
"Something's wrong, Ember,"I muttered, troubled,"Why here? There's no majority of Gell supporters, no bases nearby, no.."Then I gasped. It couldn't be.. they weren't after me?? I knew my father was probably alive, and I had myself seen him in Yevon company. I stared at the helicopters, sickened. It couldn't be.. And luckily it wasn't. The helicopters shot over head. They were off to reek havoc in some over town.
And I suddenly realised - this was my chance to help. I had to stop those helicopters..
I burst into a fast dash down the main road, avoiding and the people who had come out of their houses now, and were watching the helicopters with fear and agitation. Kept running.. kept running.. Screeched to a halt! I stumbled, caught my balance, turned and darted down the alley way. I flung myself behind the dumpster bins and instantly felt myself grow, my skin boil and chafe and explode into a brown plummage. Mew's gift began to kick in..
Red, golden and sandy coloured feathers, two metres long grew from my rear and cast some contrast in this dim alley. I grew a little, but my legs shrunk, and most of the muscle was lost. They were now stick formed, refined and ended in excellant steely talons. A hooked beak grew from my face, and my eyesight grew sharper, as well as my hearing. I could hear the panic, the screaming, the confusion, and most importantly, the helicopters. I turned my head in that direction, and lifted my arms which instantly transformed into three metre wings, and I shot upwards. I aimed for that little rectangle of sky, two storeys above me. No problem. I spun in the air, saw my target far in the distance. I saw a small vulpix teleporting through the crowd, following the copters. She called to me: I would meet her there. With that settled, I piled on the speed, forcing these wings to beat faster, my body to become more streamlined, just willing myself to be nearer. The agility attack kicked in a I hurtled through the sky...
I've never really been a great fighter, or one who likes to see people suffer, but I got real satisfaction from seeing the look on the Yevon' pilots face as a huge pidgeot darted in front of the helicopter. Shocked, he pulled the helicopter to the side, and I swept alongside him, on his left, then his right forcing him to continue in that direction.. By the time he realised where he was headed, he tried to escape, but I halted in mid air and unleashed a mighty hurricane attack on the helicopter. It spun out of control and collided with the mountains in an explosion of blistering heat. The heat wave swept over me even from 200 metres away. I had disapeered just as quickly as I had come, and was pursuing my next targets.
Two helicopters, practically side my side and an easy target, but then... one exploded! I saw a body fall, and would of disgarded is as a yevon soldier, but these eyes don't miss a thing. Brown hair, glasses, that same psychic aura. I knew that boy.. I hesitated for a moment, seeing Gell troops coming from the West, then dived down after the boy.
I hit the ground, and looked at the injuries he had sustained.
"Don't worry, I'll help you,"I whispered to his unconscious form as I demorphed rapidly, and began to shift into a chansey.

You don't mind me healing you do you? Or did you want the kids to go fight by themselves?? I'll bugger off if you want me to

[SuperSonicMewtwo]

Heal? No, at least not yet. I'd rather SSM be brought back to the others first. And he wouldn't accept help from a stranger anyway
Where is everyone else! It's been 24 some hours! I don't pay you to take breaks!
I don't pay you at all.. nvm

I listened gently, hearing what SSM said... but I stood back aways, watching as he attacked teh helicopter, and then the children rushed forward. They were so eager to attack the Yevon helicopter that fell below. I stood back aways however, upon a hill which gave me a slight view of the Gell helicopter to the west, and I heard another explosion. My eyes squinted a bit... a pained look.
Does it all have to come to fighting....?
I frowned, feeling rather helpless. I didn't want to fight, and even if Mew had strong psychic fighting poweres placed with in me, I would not use them or not even try to see if they were there.

I saw SSM fall into the nearbye trees... and if it were not the children, I would have gone. But SSM... he was strong- he could handle himself. After the Yevon mess was cleared... if it was... I would bring the children to go find him, but for now my main priority was watching the children and making sure they were okay.

They seemed to be doing pretty well...

Most of them had their powers, or what little they knew about them, and attacked with whatever force they had at the men. Of course... why wouldn't they? Yevon and Gell were the reason they hid, Yevon and Gell were the reasons their families split up in the first place in most cases... they were the cause for such pain. Wouldn't you want revenge?

Yes... who wouldn't... everyone does... except... for me.

Soon I heard a yelp however, a cry from one of the nearbye kids... and alert, my eyes focused and I saw one of the children bleeding not too far off.
I may not fight, but I will heal.
I ran off after them... to help heal or bind as much of the wounds as I could...

... little did I know how powerful Mew's healing abilities actually were...


(Okay, Kiarah is going to try to heal anyone who gets hurt in the Yevon fight except for SSM, because he's far off. So if anyone of the YEvon-fighting children get hurt, you can post Kiarah helping them with Mew-like healing abilities. (psychic healing, but pretty kewel looking healing aura. ^^))

Clark


[size=1]

SSM, that guy- he told the children to fight whatever was inside of the helicopter. Clark watched as he flew up into the air...
I wish I had that type of power...
Clark watched as SSM took on the helicopter, and he saw blood spray from one of SSM's wounds as the helicopter crashed down, and he also fell into the nearbye forest as well... a trail of blood in the sky following him.
I want to be like him! Just as powerful!
Clark thought again, and little knowing to the little seven year old, with that thought alone Clark's eyes began to glow a firey, amber-red- like inner flames inside of a small glowing jewel.

Im not gonna post much...

I was halfway through the chansey morph. So, in other words, I was bright pink and egg shaped. And then, quite convieniently, the boy began to stir.
"ARGH!!"He cried as he caught sight of me."What the ****?!?!?"
"Hey, Im just trying to help!!"I tried to explain, but currently could not talk human. So unfortunately, in came out in a series of chan, chan, chanseys, and all that crap.
But he seemed to realise where he was at that point, and became quiet.
"Who are you?"He hissed in a quiet voice, realising there were enemies near by, though it was pointless as little could be heard over the helicopter's roar.
"Chan...!"I muttered, helplessly, feebly waving my four inch arms and waddling towards him pathetically. He stood and tried to back away, a look of grotesque horror on his face but stumbled and fell over. He grunted in pain.
"Would you quit that?! Your injury will get worse!!"I tried to cry, but it simply came out as a frustrated chansey yelp. Nevertheless, he got the point and lay breathing harshly on his side. I could tell he was contemplating attacking me, and though he seemed weak I didn't want to take the risk, so I reverted to human form. He watched engrossed for a second, then looked away a little sickened. But then he looked back. I could tell this guy was no coward, though of course I already knew that. As I completed my morph, I heard a low growl in the bushes around us, and my vulpix suddenly appeared at my side, snarling at the boy.
"Ssh, Ember,"I whispered."He's a friend. Aren't you?" I asked him quietly.
"Who.. what are you?"He wondered, scanning my up and down.
"Just a failed experiment,"I muttered."You helped me, so I owe you a favour." I said.
"No. No, I can't trust you yet,"He said defiantly. I stood there, suddenly angry. I was about to protest, but a sudden blaze above our heads distracted both of us. A 30ft jet of flames had erupted from the forest. I exchanged glances with the guy, and stuck out my hand.
Hesitantly, he took it, and we made our slow way through the forest towards the source of fire.........

I was waiting around with Matt and Annika, trying to listen for any helicopters when Drake tugged on my jeans.
"What is it?"
<Matt told me that he needs to talk to you later and I just talked to Nightshade. He told me that Imani wanted to talk to you after the battle is over and said that Athenae talked to Imani about Matt but it's a bit complicated so I'll let you handle it with her.>
"Better do it now than later," I muttered and motioned the other three to follow me.
We walked a bit before we found Imani and it looked to be that she was alone with Nightshade.
"Where's Mike?" I asked.
"SSM came by and told us to either take Gell or Yevon. I guess Mike and SSM didn't realize that we were our own little group so Mike went off with this girl to take on Yevon and I just waited for you and the others."
I blushed after realizing that I didn't tell the older ones that I wanted to take on Gell with a few people.
"Alright, we'll go find some others who are taking on Gell and we'll meet with them."
As everyone walked ahead of me, I pulled Imani back at step with me and muttered quietly to her.
"So Drake told me that Athenae talked to you. What did she say?"
"Well, she said that we need to start calling Matt Belle to protect his real identity."
"But no one knows about his change except the group."
"I know, I found that weird. Also, she said that the next time Matt changes, he'll turn into a girl."
I almost snorted at this but calmed myself down before anyone could hear me.
"Are you sure about this?"
"She said that she has limited future sight and that Matt will change into a girl once in a while so it'll be better to keep him as a Gardevoir for now."
I looked up through the trees as a sigh escaped my lips. How could we trust a scheming presence inside of Matt? Was she really telling the truth or was she just lying to have more control over Matt?
"Tell Matt that we need him to stay as a Gardevoir for a bit longer so he can improve his psychic and physical skills. I don't want to take any chances on traumatizing a kid for the rest of his life and he does need the training so this will be better for him for now."

As soon as we finished our conversation, we came upon Lorelei, Laura, Roy and a girl who looked like she was protecting Laura standing over a guy in black clothes.
"What happened here?" I asked.
"This Gell bastard came at us with a gun but I stunned him," Lorelei growled.
"What have we here?" I casually picked up his gun and examined it.
"Give...it back...you ****," the Gell man wheezed, awake from his bashing.
Picking my foot up, I slammed it into his stomach, making him cough and cry in pain.
Throwing the gun into the air, I felt my fingernails extend and grow pointy and hard, sharp as a sword and as hard as diamonds.
"Alley oop," I cried and slashed the gun in half, making it spark violently as it crashed into the ground.
"And as for you..." I said and grabbed the man by the shirt.
Lifting him off the ground, I hurled him into the nearest tree and heard a thwack and then a groan before the area settled into silence. I heard someone whistle in awe as my fingers contracted back to normal.
<Superior strength and the ability to have claws,> Drake said in my mind.
"How long will he be out?" Annika said.
"Well, from what I've just learned," I glanced at Drake, "he'll probably be out cold for a long time. And since it looks like he had nothing on him besides that gun, he won't be any harm to us."
Just as I finished my sentence, we heard a noise above us. Looking up, we stared into the black abyss that was a Gell helicopter.
