Club: Eevee House Version 25 (MA)

[Dark Dragonite]

DD's POV
I felt Spooky nudge me, and I knew he was up to something.
I returned everyone but him, and Outkast, and no sooner did Spooky look as him, we were inside the Eevee House.
Thanking Outkast, I returned him, and felt Spooky grab a pokeball from me.
Releasing the pokemon inside, I knew nothing good could come from this.

Spooky's POV
I sent out Galile, after hearing a houndoom boasting.
I may not be a dark type ghost, but I have my tricks, and so does he...

Galile's POV
Spooky had informed me of someone claiming fire types were better than me.
As the sparkles faded around me, I thought I would make a sly comment: "If Fire types are so great, why are there none in the Ancient Division of the Mele Games, there are 2 ice types though."

Nave's POV
I sensed trouble, and sprang into action, getting in-between Galile, Spooky, and a Houndoom.
"Galile, Spooky, just because a type is popular, or prevalent, doesn't make it better. We all have strengths, and weaknesses that differ, and sometimes, it isn't anything to do with our types as for why we are chosen to be on a team. Look, Coheed, and Cambria are fire types on the same team, and Cambria is shiny like you. Also Lavender, and Alucard are Fire types. How about we just sit here, and enjoy the warmth, huh?"

[*Murkrow]

~Deveus the Houndoom~

Woah, that was a surprise, I hadn't realised that anybody else had been listening to mine and Farfurets' arguement.
I turned round, just in time to see an Umbreon apparently trying to calm the situation, standing between me and a Glalie and a Gengar. The Glaile didn't look to happy with me..but oh well. And even though I knew that the Umbreon was right-heck it sounded like something I might say in a different situation-a little bit of disagreement never did anybody any harm.
I grinned at the Glalie over Umbreons' head.
'There might not some of that type competing, but I can't see any being offered as prizes, whereas there was a Fire type being offered.....as I'm sure you must know'
I laughed.
'Still, I agree with what she says....'
.......indicating Umbreon..
'....sorry, don't know your name...I didn't really come here for an arguement-and not with anybody other than Farfuret either. But if you still want too.....'

(Zale's POV)

"Tiana, get off my back please." "No," she said giggling then she grabbed my ear in her teeth. "Sisters," I muttered under my breath. As Amy released the rest of the tea,. I headed for the pool. Thats when Tiana began to get upset. "Zale are you crazy? Why are you going to the pool?" I sighed. "Because I'm getting swimming lessons." "Come on Zale, tell me the truth." I gritted my teeth. "I am." I resumed my trek to the steps and stood at the same place that i had stood last time and waited for Lyra. I was eager for my next lesson. Of course I was getting distracted. Tiana was biting down hard on my ear and had a death grip on my mane. I closed my eyes and counted to ten before opening them again. When I did, I smiled. Lyra was swimming over.

(Kaida's POV)

The thuds had alerted a hitmonlee. Of course i didn't know it until he had stepped in front of the bag causing me to collide into his legs. He was kind enough to explain what the bags were and how to use them. He also led me to a much smaller bag. I smiled when i wasn't sent across the room. Before i could do much, Amy called me over. She gave me a TM which she said was headbutt. Then she walked off to check on the others. I returned to the bags and decided to practice my new move on them. I smiled.

[Everoy]

(Note to all: I had to start all over because I have a new computer so I lost my old pokemon file )

Mittens the Female Mareep
I walk into the Eevee House for the first time. I curl into a little ball in the middle of a room and think. So much had happened since I was adopted the day before! First, Patrick, my trainer, (although he asked me to call him Chris), took a little walk with me and showed me different places. First he showed me the Adoption Centers. There were only two, Dragon Tamers, where he got me, and Pokezoo. Then he showed me the Battle Range, which he said always had a certain task for trainers to accomplish. He told me a little about the places that he had gone to with his old pokemon before they were stolen Then he showed me the Dragon Tamers Reward Center and we took a little peek in. I want a Custom Juice so that I can put a little tattoo of a mitten on my cheek! But I don't know if the Juice can do that. After that, we stopped at Buena's Radio Show to get a question, because Chris wanted me to see the place myself instead of just calling in. They haven't called us with the question yet though. Right next store was the Breeding Center, then Goldenrod Tower, but it was too late in the day. He said that he would go there after dropping me off here so that he could surprise me. Well, that's my day in a nutshell!
Hey! Who poked me!?!

[Dark Dragonite]

Galile's POV
"It's a shame I can't continue this conversation further, but I have somewhere important to be."
With that, I nodded toward my trainer, and we left for my last match in the Mele Games.

DD's POV
I packed my stuff up again, and walked out the door with Galile.
He seemed pretty dead set on his goal, and I patted him, reassuring he is loved nomatter what happens.
I then released Mercury to fly towards the Stadium, leaving the EH as a speck in the horizon.

[Dark Dragonite]

DD's POV
I walked back into the house, feeling a bit more comfortable, and looking to see if anyone wanted to talk. Plopping down on a comfy couch, I watched my Glalie seem to shine more than usual, a huge grin on his face, as he tried to put on the Melee Games Champion Crown. I laughed, letting the 2 pokemon I had just received the privilage to train relax, hoping I was the right, and best trainer for them. I also brought out my Lotad, looking at him, wondering if he would get a few fights in, to hopefully evolve, or if a rare candy was needed. I sighed as Eva hopped up on me, curling up, and purring, hearing Blaze practicing on the punching bags.

[*Murkrow]

~Hannah~

I dashed excitedly into the Eevee House, and tore over to the corner where my adopted Pokémon had settled, some curled up asleep, some play fighting, or-in Xolotles’ case- tearing towards me, obviously wanting to be the first to find out what was up.
‘Hey everyone, check out my two new Pokémon!’
I revealed the two Poké Balls I had been holding to my Pokémon, then tossed them both high into the air. They both spun gently, catching the light, then suddenly burst open, white light spilling out, to condense into two forms; one a tortoise shaped Pokémon-a Torkoal, the other an even smaller Pokémon, shaped like a swallow-a Taillow.
‘Ok, guys, I’d like you to meet Heat Wave and Fizz’

~Heat Wave the Torkoal~

I stared around slowly, steadily taking in the scene….or trying to, because what seemed to be uncountable number of other Pokémon seemed to be crowding around me-me and a Taillow. She seemed to be slightly surprised at the amount of attention we were receiving, but looked like she was enjoying it as well. Well, that might have been fine for her, but personally, I don’t like getting so much attention.
But then again, seeing as we were both new, I figured that it was only natural we’d both be the centre of attention-if only for a little while.
I yawned, and smiled at one of the Pokémon closest to me-a rather small and fragile looking Sneasel. She was about to smile back when suddenly, a blue and white blur shot past me, swooping up to and around the rafters. It was the Taillow, and she seemed to be determined to show herself off to the best advantage. It seemed to be working as well, as the other Pokémon were soon cheering her on, urging her to go faster. But because I’m so small, my view was blocked by everyone else; by the time I’d actually got a good view, Taillow’d probably have finished. Not that it mattered though; Taillow was a teammate, which meant that I’d be seeing a lot of her, and that meant I’d probably be seeing a lot of her stunts. So there was no need for me to struggle to get a good view of this, when I’d probably be seeing a lot of it in the near future. Smiling, I puffed out a small cloud of smoke, then gently withdrew into my shell. I was in the need for a rest.

~Fizz the Taillow~

I stretched my wings wider, picking up speed. The rafters were looming, but I simply flicked a wing and soared over them. Then under. Then over again. Then I spun, twirling in mid air before diving towards the ground, getting shrieks of admiration from the watching crowd. Their cheers spurred me on. A Murkrow came chasing after me; I outstripped him easily, then dropped towards the other Pokémon. They all ducked or jumped out of the way; at the last moment, I swerved to avoid crashing into the long neck of a Tropius that had been lurking at the back of the group. She snapped at me, but I had already circled it, swooping to the floor, gliding easily through the cloud of smoke that was slowly rising from the Torkoals’ shell. Then, I snapped my wings together, and shot up, rising to the roof, then dropping again, and finally coming to rest on one of the rafters just above them. Instantly, there was a loud cheer, applause, from my spectators.
I couldn’t resist smiling; this was the best feeling in the world. I was going to like this team.

[Charizard04621]

Gwaihir the Windlord, the male Aerodactyl's POV:

"Don't worry about it," my father said to me. "You're a natural at flying, and don't let it get you down." With that, he presented me with a glossy scarf, a deep royal blue color. It helped take my thoughts off of losing.

I had recently gotten a Pokémon Collar from Karin, too. I had no idea where she got it from, because the Dragon Tamer Staff was poor and couldn't buy anything, but I was very happy about it. I showed the collar to my father, then I decided to ask him a question. "I kind of want to learn Earthquake. Do you think I should try to participate in the land race? I can fly, but I'm not so sure about land."

Ancalagon the Black, the male Bagon's POV:

Annoying, all of my teammates were. I decided to stay away from them. What would a dragon like me need to do with any of them, anyway? Hmph.

My new trainer had gotten me a few TMs: Facade and Rock Tomb, among them. It was about time. I needed more TMs to grow stronger. Nothing could stand in my way toward evolution.

Switchblade, the *male* Porygon's POV:

I was excited. Karin had gotten me a new TM, something that she hadn't given me in a while. I understood, though. Dragon Tamer Staff members weren't allowed to earn any Stamps, so she couldn't really buy things often. It was hard for her to get her hands on items, but I knew that she tried. Although I wasn't sure what to do with a Recycle TM since the item I held was my Status Die, I liked it anyway. It could come in handy in the future.

Nero, the male Umbreon's POV:

I watched as Gloria and Zale bounded off happily. Ah, how cute. I wished I could do that too, but if I wanted to fly, I had to practice. Looking around, I couldn't find Aries or Nightshade - they seemed to have disappeared. Shrugging, I went outside to practice my Psychic on flowers. Karin called me to give me an old Confuse Ray TM that she had found, and then she left me to continue my practicing.

My POV:

I sifted through my backpack, which had become quite cramped. I was surprised to discover several TMs that I hadn't used for a while. Smiling, I called several of my pokémon to reward them with the gifts.

I found Aglárien last. She was at the punching bags, trying to get Naurmir to Mega Kick one, like she was doing. He really didn't feel like it, though, so she stopped trying to persuade him. Aglárien was very protective of her brother; I was sure that she just wanted to teach him how to defend himself. Naurmir, however, was a pacifist. Fighting scared him.

Aglárien was practically jumping with joy when I sprinkled the new move over her. She would surely enjoy the Submission TM that I had just won from the EMT. I smiled as she immediately tried to practice her new attack on a punching bag. She hit it too hard, though, and was sent sailing right through, into Rebecca's Scizor on the other side.

Not phased in the least, Aglárien shook herself, got up, and began to stare at Blade. Then she growled playfully and tried to reach his claw by jumping. Naurmir, who was watching, came up to him, too. I chuckled to myself as I remembered his first encounter with the Scizor. The newly hatched Naurmir clung on to Blade's leg and wouldn't let go!

[Crystalmaster Mike]

~ Gordon’s POV ~

After a period of Skyler-admiration, our group split. Tony stayed with Skyler outside; he’d been self-appointed as his trainer and mentor, a sort of Tony-Wan-Kenobi, if you may. Hmm, if Tony’s Kenobi, ‘Cada’s Artoo (no reference to Arthus intended). And Dylan is trying his best to be a Darth Vader, but he’s softened since we’ve let him to understand Skyler won’t become his nemesis for… who knows how long!
I’d seen Nemo, Hanna, Aron, Rays and Arthus enter the pool, but I didn’t feel like joining them. No, I felt a bit… adventurous. Indiana-Gordonish, if I may so. So when I saw Shane and Verne enter the kitchen, I went in another direction. I felt like exploring the House, visiting a room I hadn’t before, maybe come across a fun thing to do.
Wandering around like that, wondering where Liam may have been hanging out, while avoiding being stepped upon (for a flat Mudkip’s not too good an explorer), I ended up in a hallway, rather hidden out of sight because of its location (just in-between two large closets containing plates, mugs and what not). At the end of the hallway, through the door opening I could see a part of a long, big room… and there were noises coming from inside! Noises of Pokémon, exercising! Excited, I dashed inside, only to immediately be trying to stop. The floor made a good glider. When I had fully come to a halt, I was standing somewhat in the middle of the room, where I had a clear view on some of the Pokémon inside.
It was a boxing room! From where I stood, I could see a Hitmonlee kicking, and a Bagon Headbutting a boxing sack. For a moment, I thought it was Skyler, but this Bagon not only was female, but she didn’t have wings, either.
I sat down, and started watching the two Pokémon exercising. The Hitmonlee had stopped a moment to briefly look at me, but he almost instantly resumed his kicking. The Bagon, on the other hand, was so focused on her Headbutting she hadn’t noticed me… yet. I didn’t care. All I wanted was watch them exercising on the sacks. I was fascinated by the sacks, but had no intention on finding one for myself. I wanted to start boxing when I had the abilities to (that is, when I evolved and grew hands).
“Hey, Gordon! You’re here too?”
I jumped at hearing a familiar voice in here. When I got back on my feet, I turned to the speaker.
“Bruce… you’re here!”
“Uh… yeah. This is a fitness-type room, after all. A Machop isn’t really out o’ place here. But as for you… ?”
“Just looking around, that’s all. I’m thinking of becoming a boxer when I evolve. But don’t tell anyone yet!”
“Afraid it might be a faze you’re going through, Gordon?”, Bruce said while walking over to one of the punching bags to commence boxing.
“Kinda. ‘n Besides, if Dylan hears his ‘noble steed’ has plans of his own, he might become… annoyed. And I don’t find it wise to annoy a Pokémon stronger than myself.”
“Too true.” Bruce continued his boxing for a while, completely concentrated on his hands clobbering away at the bag. So for that while, no noises were heard aside from the *twap*’s caused by a head/leg/fist hitting a punching bag. After awhile, something drew my attention.
“Say Bruce…”
“Myeah?”
“How uh… how much of a challenge is all this boxing for ya? I mean,” I clarified, seeing the puzzled expression on his face, “you don’t seem to be needing much of your strength. You’re not even sweating!”
“Well yeah, us Machops don’t grow tired that easily.”
“But why do it then, if it isn’t challenging?”
“Um… Because it’s fun? Why else would I come here?”
“You’ve got a point there.” Bruce turned his attention back to the boxing, and for a while again, no other sounds were heard but the occasional *twap*.

“Bruce! Here you are!”
“Alright! We found you! Hey, Gordon, wazzup?” The quietness was broken roughly by the entering of Shane and Verne. Shane’s voice particularly was enlarged drastically by the acoustics of the room; but what else could y’have expected?
“Still the sky, as always.”, I smiled. “What brings you guys to this happy hallway?”
“We were looking for Bruce, actually.” Bruce, upon hearing his name, now stopped his exercising.
“What for?”
“We needed a third Monster for our band!”
“Band?!” I turned to look at Bruce, and saw he was as confused as me about what they meant.

~ Bruce’s POV ~

“In here! In here!”
“But… wait a second you guys” I complained as Verne and Shane were pushing and dragging me into the kitchen. “Isn’t this…?”
“It’s right where we need to be, Bruce!”
“Yeah, you’ll see!”
“You’ve gotten me curious, you know that?”
“Me too! Eh…? Oh!”
“What’s the…? Oh!” I said, while I stopped to look, making Shane and Verne pull at me, to no avail. Of course, they couldn’t ever have dragged me over here if I hadn’t been curious to see what they were up to. And now I could see it! In one of the corners of the kitchen, they’d put some of the pottery. And in front of all that, lay a miniature…
“Guitar?!”
“Yup!” Verne proudly said. “It was thought to be only a toy guitar, but I found I could play a good tune on it, after I tuned it!”
“U-huh… And the pots?”
“Well, Verne plays the guitar, and I sing – I still need practice of course, I’m no Jiggly! – but we needed a second instrument to improve the sound. So we thought of this: self-made drums!”
Shane looked proud of the idea they had, but I wasn’t following.
“And what…”
“Well, we needed a drummer, of course!”
“So we thought of who could be it!”
“It should be someone who can stand up straight, …”
“So that immediately deleted some of the possible candidates!”
“In fact, after careful consideration, …”
“We found you to be the only possible candidate!”
“Heh, congrats, Bruce! They thought of everything!”
“Bu-but!” Resistance was futile.
“Just try it, Bruce!”
“Yeah, try a fancy move or something!”
“This I gotta see…”
Yup. Resistance was futile.
“All righty then!” I walked over to the pots and pans, still uncertain.
“Yeah!”
“Your drumsticks are lying there somewhere.”
“Drumst-…? Oh.” Two wooden soup spoons. Jùst perfect.
“Here goes…” I sat behind a couple of pots, and lifted a spoon, preparing to start drumming. “But, what do I play?”
“The same as me!” Verne had put a string attached to the guitar around his neck, and was now posing in a classic rock guitar player pose. A bit strange if the guitar player’s a Larvitar, but still; I could see he’d already gotten used to the instrument, and suddenly, I felt the urge to play rise inside me.
“Okay then…” Shane had walked towards us until he thought himself to be in the right position, and then he had turned back to his audience: Gordon (and maybe one or two curious Pokémon in the kitchen). He took a deep breath (and that’s quite deep since he’s a Whismur), to calm his nerves.
“Okay, here goes… 3, 2, 1…”

LOL
Actually, I never saw that before, but itis indeed coolness.

I got Alucard's name from the Playstation game:
Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night
The main character's name is Alucard, he is the son of Dracula, and a human woman killed for being a witch, although she only used magic to heal. Very cool game.

[Everoy]

I'm entering Typar, Male Lv. 6 Sneasel (22) in the land race.

[The_Missing_Link]

<Orion's POV>

As I got out of the pool to dry, I saw Zale gingerly step into the pool to train with Lyra. It was kind of stupid to see an Eevee so careful about water but he was younger so I couldn't blame him. Looking around for anyone to possibly talk to, I spotted a Bagon standing all by himself, looking quite peeved. I knew it was a risk to take but I was even tempered most of the time - he wouldn't be able to bring me down.
"Hi," I said as I came near him. "What's your name?"
"Get away," he growled. "You're not fit to address me."
"And why not?" I calmly asked. "I don't see a sign anywhere that says you're off limits."
"No one speaks to Ancalagon the Black. Dragons are superior to all."
"Oh la de dah," I said dryly. "I'm sorry your highness. I'll never disturb you again. Have a nice day."
I started to turn away before abrupting turning around and jabbed my bone under his chin.
"You've got a lot to learn, Bagon," I growled. "You're far from the best fighter in the world and you'd be surprised to know that a dragon is not the strongest in this house right now. Do you know who is? It's a Ninetales. Someone who you would consider a lowlife. Now I suggest you smarten up and let some sunshine into your life or else you'll be a small, lonely Pokemon for quite some time."
I turned around with the bone twirling in my hand, wondering how a Pokemon could think so low of everyone else.

<Blade's POV>

I restlessly sat around next to Drake, both of us watching everything that went on in the house. We hadn't been in a battle for the longest time and it was starting to get on my nerves.
"Don't worry Blade, a battle will come our way soon enough," Drake commented.
I grumbled and looked at the fighting bags. Lee was kicking nonstop and I also saw a few Bagons practicing their headbutts, bouncing off the bags but continued on with their overabundance of determination. I also saw one tiny Charmander roll into the bag and ricochet into my direction. As it came unfurled, I recognized it was Aglárien, the twin of Naurmir and daughter of Flame. She shook her head and looked at me for a moment before jumping to get at my claw. Realizing what the game was, I got up and raised it higher, always a bit out of her reach. The stunt must have attracted attention because the other twin came over and stared at me.
"This should keep me going for a while," I said to Drake as he tried to amuse Naurmir by sweeping him off his feet with his tail and waving it up and down slowly, so as to not buck the young Charmander off and scare him at the same time.

(Zale's POV)

"Will you get off of my back now?" I asked Tiana for the tenth time that day. "If you get out of the water first." "Okay." I told her as I waded out of the pool, and she jumped off my back and took off. I think she may have been looking for someone to play with. This time i went back in the water again, this time deep enough that i had to stand on the tips of my paws to keep my head out of the water. Maybe when i actually was able to swim Tiana would try it. For now, it seemed she didn't want anything to do with the water. For some reason I was drawn to it. I wasn't sure what to do next so i just kept standing there on my tiptoes.

(Yana's POV)

I walked around the house looking for Evenstar. I hadn't seen her in a while. I almost tripped over Tiana who came running by as if a pack of mightyenas were after her. I looked in the direction she ran from and saw the pool. I nodded, as i continued to look around.

(Lani's POV)

I saw Huan across the room, but he hadn't seen me. I slowly snuck up behind him... and pounced. The look onhis face was priceless. I let him up only to have him pin me and then start to tickle me. Soon i was laughing so hard that I got the hiccups.

(Kaida's POV)

After a while, I realized that i was tired so I left the room with the punching bags. I soon saw the bagon that i had battled the other day, so I decided to go over and say hi. He didn't look like he was in a good mood but I didn't let it get to me. "Hi. I just wanted to say that it was a good battle the other day. A close one as well." I held out my arm and waited, unsure of the reaction that i would get.

(Tiana's POV)

I took off running as fast as I could away from the pool and Zale. Why did he want to learn how to swim anyway, I thought to myself. I narrowly missed running into Yana, but i didn't miss Amy's pack. I hit it and it fell over and several items came umbling out. There were a few boxes, an earring a couple of Dice, since Sora decided she didn't need it at themoment, though she still thanked Kaida for thinking of her by giving it to her. There was also a glowing purple and blue stone. The blue one was boring looking, but the purple one was pretty. It was glowing and I wanted to touch it.

I slowly neared it, and as I reached to touch it I heard Uncle Nero shouting. "No, Tiana, don't touch it!" It was too late. I had touched it and immediatly i began to feel strange. I ran and hid behind Nero whimpering. "What's happening?" He closed his eyes as he answered. "You're evolving. "What?" I said as i looked down indeed I was changing. My pretty silvery fur was turning green and I grew slighlty though I knew that I was still smaller than Zale. Just not as small as I was. My head began to ache as a jewel formed on my head. My tail grew longer, thinner, and forked. Finally, My ears grew larger. "Will you come with me?" I asked Uncle Nero. "I'm scared Amy will be mad. I didn't mean too."

He nodded as we walked over to where Amy was. I pawed on her leg and when she looked down, I burst into tears as I told her what happened. She hugged me, and told me not to worry. I was still crying, so Amy asked Nero to fetch her bag. He nodded, and brought it to her. Amy reached in and grabbed one of the dice, placed it around a chain and tied it on my neck. I was still sobbing as Amy continued. She was scratching Uncle Nero with her other free arm. I was planning on giving this TM to whoever evolved into an espeon, so i guess you get it. She said as she sprinkled the powder over me. By now i had stopped crying and looked up at Amy. "What... What is it?" I managed to ask. "Its a psychic TM." I smiled and turned to Uncle Nero. I jumped on top of his back and tugged at his ear. "Would you teach me to use it, like you're learning?" I asked. "Will ya? Will ya?" I said as I waited for his answer.

[Charizard04621]

Nero, the male Umbreon’s POV:

Things were insane. Just when I was about to leave to practice outside, I saw Tiana reaching at a purple stone amongst a pack of scattered belongings. I tried to stop her, but by the time I got there, it was too late.

Before me I had a scared green Espeon who was afraid that her trainer would yell at her. I agreed to accompany her; she sobbed the whole way. When we met Amy, she hugged Tiana, telling her not to worry. Amy then presented the newly evolved Espeon with a Status Die chain and a Psychic TM!

“Would you teach me to use it, like you’re learning?” she asked me. “Will ya? Will ya?”

Well, I was kind of stuck. The truth was, I hadn’t quite managed to master my own Psychic abilities yet. But I couldn’t refuse my eager niece. “Sure,” I answered, “But we’ll need to get Aries’s help. I’m going to go see if I can find him now.” With that, I took off into the house, trying to sense Aries with my psychic abilities. Tiana followed right behind me.

Ancalagon the Black, the male Bagon’s POV:

What a meddlesome Cubone. I stared after him, having a mind to give chase. But then a female Bagon came up to me and blocked my path. “Hi. I just wanted to say that it was a good battle the other day. A close one as well.” She extended her arm. I assumed she wanted to shake hands.

“Get out of my way,” I snapped. “If you want to gloat over your victory, go talk to someone else.”

With that, I pushed her to the floor roughly and took off after the Cubone. Through the corner of my eye I saw an unfamiliar Treecko helping the other Bagon to her feet.

Kir, the male Treecko’s POV:

“Are you all right?” I asked the Bagon, reaching out with my hand to pull her back up. “I saw the whole thing. I think he’s on my team, too, though I’m not sure, because I’m new. I’m really sorry. I don’t think everyone on the team is like that,” I explained. “I have no idea what’s with his attitude. My name is Kir. Nice to meet you.”

“Kaida,” she answered. “Thanks for the help.”

I looked at the running Bagon – I think his name was Ancalagon, but I wasn’t certain. My new trainer had pointed out various teammates in the house as they passed by. Ancalagon (I think) was screaming at a Cubone to come back and fight, although it looked as if his target was way stronger than he; he was calling the Cubone a coward. Whatever his name was, that Bagon had no right to treat others like that. Taking a deep breath, I called after him. “Hey! Where are your manners? Kaida was just talking to you, and you pushed her unprovoked. That’s no way to treat a lady!”

He kept running for a bit, and then, when he realized that I was talking to him, he turned around. He was frowning as he walked back towards me. “Damn you. You made me lose that Cubone,” he cursed. “Why don’t you mind your own business?” His fist shot into my stomach, knocking the wind out of me and sending me into the floor on my back. I was a lot faster than he was, but he had caught me by surprise. He put his foot on my chest and started to press all his weight down upon it. It became increasingly harder to breathe. “Answer me!” he demanded.

Huan, the male Houndour’s POV:

I was looking around for Lani, when suddenly, aaaah! She’d ambushed me from behind and gave me a fright. Payback! She let me loose, so I turned her around and pinned her to the ground, then began to tickle her playfully. She giggled so hard that she got tears in her eyes, and then she began to hiccup. I decided I’d better stop.

So, I said, grinning, “How have you been?”

Evenstar, the female Sneasel’s POV:

I saw Yana ahead of me, so I approached her. I hadn’t seen her in a while. “Hi! How have you been? I’m entering the land race. What about you?”

Aglárien, the female Charmander’s POV:

The tall Scizor kept lifting his claw every time I jumped. I thought I would catch it, but each time it just barely slipped out of my reach. After a while I got tired, so I sat down and started looking up at the Scizor. I felt better soon, though. Getting to my feet, I wondered how I was supposed to reach that claw.

The Scizor was tall. If I knocked him down, his claw would come down too. Then I could reach it. Grinning, sure that I had found a solution, I leapt and tackled his legs as hard as I could. I tried this two or three times, but he wouldn’t budge. I was starting to get dizzy, too. Maybe it wasn’t as good of an idea as I thought.

I sat down again and blinked. Looking at the claw, I tried to figure out other ways of getting to it. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Naurmir, who was giggling. The big Charizard was playing with him with his tail. Interestingly, Naurmir didn’t shy away and hide like he usually did. I think he was enjoying himself.

“Ryu”, the male Trapinch’s POV:

I was proudly more than halfway to my first evolution. Some more training sessions, and the goal would be within my grasp. Some of the others suggested that I slow down a bit, or at least don’t punish myself by not eating if I failed in a battle. I would not hear of it. Vigorous training was what I needed; a faster pace if I wanted to truly evolve. Which was why I was glad when Karin entered me in the land race.

As a Trapinch I may have been slow, but that wasn’t going to stop me. It gave me a new goal to work towards; speed was something that would do me good, anyway. I would have to work harder to keep in shape for the race, perfect since I had been thinking of increasing my training intensity anyway.

I made my way to the pool to tell Elwing the news. She was swimming with Kalazeth again, as she liked to do nowadays. It was fun watching them chase each other; they were both energetic, vibrant, agile. I wished I could move like that… But I shuddered at the thought of touching water. Perhaps when I reached my final evolution I could think of learning how to swim. For now, however, getting into the pool would be a sure way of drowning. I had no strong limbs to paddle in the water with.

“Elwing! Kalazeth!” I called. The two swam to the pool’s edge where I was standing, the Horsea behind the Dratini. They looked at me expectantly. “Hey. I just wanted to tell you two that Karin entered me in the land race. Watch out for me, will you?”

“Sure!” Elwing chimed. “We’ll cheer you on!”

Kalazeth nodded in agreement. “Good luck.”

“Thanks. I’ll see you two later. Right now I need to lay out a practice plan.”

Elwing shook her head. “You never rest, do you?”

“Nah. How can I? There’s too much to do.” Nodding at both of them, I left to go outside and figure out exactly how I was going to train for the race.

[Wolfsong]

(Kaida's POV)

“Get out of my way. If you want to gloat over your victory, go talk to someone else.” he snapped. My eyes widened, as he pushed me to the floor. I sat there in shock for a few seconds before a treecko came over and helped me back to my feet. “Are you all right?” he asked. "I nodded slowly as i gathered my bearings. I was still in a bit of shock. I hadn't expected that. The treecko continued to talk but i was half listening. “I have no idea what’s with his attitude. My name is Kir. Nice to meet you.” I nodded. "I'm Kaida. Thanks for the help.” By now i was getting angry. “Hey! Where are your manners? Kaida was just talking to you, and you pushed her unprovoked. That’s no way to treat a lady!” Kir shouted after him. The other bagon heard him and turned around looking even angrier than before. “Damn you. You made me lose that Cubone. Why don’t you mind your own business?” I watched in horrer as the bagon punched Kir in his stomach. Kir fell backards. My eyes widened as the bagon put his foot on his chest and started to press down on him. “Answer me!” he demanded. I had had enough. "That's it!" I shouted as I stomped forward. "I've had enough." I pulled the bagon off Kir and threw him to the ground. I think i may have surprised him. It was my turn to pin him. "I don't know what in tarnation your problem is but get over it. I wasn't trying to gloat, at you. I was trying to be nice. You also had no right to push him down. I'm sick of your attitude. Like most bagons, I want to evolve to, but from where I'm standing i can see i have a better shot at it than you. And i'm not gloating, and I'll tell you why. I have friends. They help me by giving me hints and tips on how to battle better. They are also there for me when i need them. So get a life, and stop being a bully." I told him. Then before i could stop myself, I slapped him across the face and stalked off. I wanted to be alone, so I went outside. The other bagon just stayed where he was at least until i got outside.

(Lani's POV)

Huan contuinued to tickle me until i got the hiccups at which point, he finally relented. I sat there, panting a few minutes, hiccupinig occasionally, as I tried to regain my composure. “How have you been?” he asked. I smiled. "Pretty hic good. Had hic a few hic battles that didn't hic go my way and one hic that did." I watched as he tried not to laugh. Then i got a look in my eye and he started to back away when he saw it. However, I pinned him and began to tickle him between hiccups."

(Yana's POV)

Evenstar saw me before i saw her, and she walked over. “Hi! How have you been? I’m entering the land race. What about you?” I smiled. "I've been pretty good. Thats good. I'll be sure to watch. Amy had thought about entering me, but Kiara wanted to race as well. I decided to let her race this time."

[Sonic]

My POV

Eevee House. So this was it. I glanced to my left, then to my right. Left of me was my new Spoink, who I had named Schwein; to my right, Donnerhund the Electrike. Both were female, and were my first two adoptions. And so far, my only two.

So in we went -- or started to. A Bagon walked rather angrily (or it seemed angry; you never know with pokemon) out the door just as we started in. That caught Donnerhund's attention, and she wandered off to follow the dragon. "Uh, yeah," I called with a shrug. "You can go off and have fun. Just... stay out of trouble."

Not that I knew if she was a troublemaker. She didn't seem it, but you never know with pokemon. I would just trust her not to hurt anyone or get herself hurt. I looked at Schwein and said "come on," leading her in. She bounded in next to me as I walked through the doors. Nice place. I flopped into the nearest open seat, not really paying attention to where it was or who was around, or saying anything. I'm not a people person. So why did I go there? Don't know. Guess even I need outside contact sometimes.

Donnerhund's POV

That Bagon seemed ticked. I didn't like that. She should be smiling! Having fun! And I wanted to help her do those things. So I followed it. Once I caught up, I asked cheerfully, "Hey, how's it going?" The answer, as I expected, was "Not good." No kidding, I thought. Nice question, Hund. "Well, cheer up!" I urged, with a little hop to show just how cheerful I was. No dice. "Please?"

Schwein's POV

Too many people.

[*Murkrow]

~Hannah~

‘Hmm, let me see….’
I scanned the sheet in front of me quickly, then reached for the pen hanging next to it.
‘Land Race, Speed 1-30..that sounds about right, doesn’t it?’
'Sounds fine to me’
Xolotle jumped onto my shoulder to get a better look, digging her claws into my shoulder.
‘Hey, get off’
I shoved her back onto the floor then quickly entered her details

1-30
Xolotle
Sneasel
L7 F
Speed: 25

That done, I replaced the pen then headed over to the pool, Xolotle following me.
‘Guess you want to introduce them in their natural surroundings, huh?
‘Yeah, it’ll be easier for them’.
I stopped, having reached the pools edge, and reached for two Poké Balls attached to my belt. I rolled them in my hands for a second, then chucked them in the air. The normal white light burst out, condensing into two figures, who stared back at us with obvious curiosity.
Xolotle surveyed them interestedly.
'Nice’
I knelt down in front of them and gently patted both on the head.
‘The Mudkip’s Kaiko, and the Clamperl’s Pearl..hey!’
For the Mudkip had just jumped out of the water, stumbled, then shot up my arm, settling on my shoulder. There, he looked down and around, and his bright smile widened.
The complete opposite to the look on Xolotle’s face.
'Hey, you little pest!’
She jumped up and swiped at him, causing him to jump off. He gave her a hurt look, but she just glared and stormed off.
I grinned at the two Pokémon.
‘She’s like that at times..still, I’d better go sort her out. Enjoy yourselves.’

~Kaiko the Mudkip~

‘Kai..ko.’
I couldn’t resist trying out my new name to myself.
‘It sounds good’
'Yeah, it does, doesn’t it? Though Kai would be quicker to say…yeah, it’ll just be Kai’
I jumped up, proud of myself for sorting out my new name properly.
‘What’s up with that Sneasel anyway? I just wanted to get a look around, I can’t normally do that, being so small and all.’
'I know, being small is annoying, still, might just be because she over-protective, that happens at times’
‘Yeah, oh well, I’m more interested in this water!’
I laughed and ran forward-and almost instantly stumbled over my own feet, catching my balance just in time. The Clamperl-Coral-looked slightly surprised, then relieved as I caught my balance.
‘That happens all the time, I’m not the best mover on land..heh’
She smiled, looking happier
Eagerly, I jumped in the water, splashing my companion. I’m not the best swimmer, but I still love it.

~Pearl the Clamperl~

I sighed, relieved that Kai was ok. I might just have met the little guy, but that was enough to make me worry about him. I watched as he continued splashing around, obviously enjoying himself, but figured it’d be better if I just watched. I might be missing out, but if something happened, at least I’d be able to help.
To pass the time, I turned slowly, scanning the crowds around the pool. There seemed to be an uncountable amount of Pokémon around. That was a nice change, in all that time at the adoption centre, I’d gotten so used to it being virtually the same old Pokémon, that it was a nice change to see a variety.
'So they got you as well? When you could have been enjoying a free life? Shame on them.
I turned.
A large dinosaur type Pokémon was standing at the poolside. It’s body was a brownie colour, and it had large leaves covering it’s front. Three large leaves sprouted from its back, exact representations of wings. It had a long neck and it’s head was covered in the same leaves that covered it’s front. Bananas hung from beneath it’s neck. A Tropius.
I frowned, confused.
‘What’s wrong with being here? Being a trainers Pokémon?’
‘What? What’s wrong with being treated like slaves, captured against our will, made to do whatever they want us to do?’
I regarded the Pokémon slowly. She evidently was a quite troubled creature, and I wasn’t totally sure if I would be able to help her. But still, it was worth the effort to try.
‘Why do you feel this way? You’ve still got freedom, just not on such a large scale. And look-you could just run and leave right now, before anyone even noticed, but you don’t. So why don’t you?’
The Tropius looked slightly startled at what I’d said. She blinked slowly then looked at the ground, seemingly pondering her answer.
‘Better…better to be..where, where..there’s lots of..of others’
She shifted edgily from foot to foot. I looked at her with concern.
‘Why’s that?’
‘Because..because…hang on, why’m am I telling you? You’re just like the rest of them!’
She swung round and dashed away into the crowd.
Her sudden departure startled me, and for a few seconds I could only stare at the spot where she had been. What’d happened to her to make her have so much hate? I glanced round and caught the eye of a Murkrow perched on a rafter in the roof. He jerked his head at where she had been and rolled his eyes. Obviously she was often like that. Still, maybe if I talked to her more, I’d be able to help her.
‘Hey, this is really neat!’
‘Kai’s voice startled me, he was so close. More than close, actually, as next second, his head dropped down from above me.
‘Can you give me a lift?’
I laughed and gently began to spin round; he laughed and clung onto my shell tighter, before diving off.
I let myself slow to a pause, then relaxed and felt myself start to sink immediately. Kai swam past and round me, but obviously figured that I wanted some time to myself, though if he’d needed me, I’d have gladly helped him out in anyway.
My shell closed slowly over me, enclosing me in darkness. I need to think.
