The Adventures of Seloh, A Pokemon Tale IC

[F0X]

Everlyn Voronis, Champion of Seloh​

Everlyn was more or less alone in the house besides her Pokemon that were doing various things. It was then that she felt Freya grab her ass, and as she turned, grabbed her collar, pulling her in close. She blushed deeply, not expecting Freya to give her such attention while people were here at her estate. Though, Freya could be a very daring woman. She smirked, leaning up to give Freya a small kiss and looked up into Freya's eyes, the closeness of them together forcing their busts to graze against one another. "I just.. Wanted you to see that I'm still thinking of you. To show that you're important to me, even with all these people around. They don't need to know, but I wanted YOU to know. Now.. Unless you want everyone knowing our little secret, why don't you help me get the drinks out for everyone?" She smirked, taking Freya's hand from her collar and gave it a small kiss. She made her way to the kitchen, shaking her ass as she did so a bit more than usual for Freya's entertainment.

The doorbell rang, and Slowking floated through the house, zooming rather quickly to meet the pizza man who had been running his hand through his hair to make it look nicer than it had before. The pizza guy looked down at Slowking, and cleared his throat and said, "Hiya, these pizzas are for the champion, I was going to deliver them to her, if that is okay." Slowking shook his head, holding up the money and took the pizzas via telekinesis. He smiled, then let out a cheerful and deep, "Slow-king!" Almost as if one was to say, "Thank-you!" Slowking started to walk back into the home, and the Pizza guy said, "W-wait! You forgot the ranch..." Slowking blinked, and from where he stood, he made his eyes glow, focusing a bit more and grabbed the ranch from him, giving him a small nod then a smile. He shut the door with his tail, leaving the Pizza guy alone on the porch. He sighed, then turned and got back into his car, not noticing the woman who was approaching the estate.

Slowking placed all the pizza, ranch, breadsticks, and chicken wings on the counter, smiling at Everlyn until he noticed Lady Freya. He gave her a bow, but then couldn't help but look up at her with a small blush. He went and quickly got them both a glass of iced tea, making sure NOT to spill it on either of them. It was then he made his way out of the kitchen, leaving the two of them alone again. "You know, King has really come to enjoy being around you.. Maybe its a sign that you should be around more often? I could always put in a request to have your bakery moved to Chalgrove so its not so far away." She smirked, putting all the cups and drinks out for people to enjoy. She then looked over to Delphox, and told her, "Go let everyone know that food is here!!" Delphox let out a delightful cry, then hustled to the arena to inform everyone.

Delphox hustled out to the arena, hearing everyone chatting about the battles, and she let out a wave of fire, but then used her psychic abilities to form the flames into words. "Dinner is here~!" She wrote out and then bowed, hoping everyone liked her performance. She turned from the group, swishing her tail back and forth as she twirled her staff, tossing it up in the air and catching it until she got back into the house.

[fieldbox="Nina Smith, Purple, Solid"]

After jumping into the ravine, Nina drifted in and out of consciousness. She remained afloat on the back of Anne, who herself was seemingly remaining awake through pure force of will. The pair were left at the mercy of the current, sailing further and further along the ravine until they finally hit the ocean itself. When the pair splashed into the Ocean that surrounded the entire region of Seloh, Nina took a gasp of air as her mind registered the salt-water and the change of the air. She looked around, trying to figure out where they were. She figured out that they must be north of Gallow Ridge. That meant the nearest place she could rest would be…Chalgrove. She nudged the Sharpedo towards the west, before slowly slumping back down upon the Pokémon's back. Every part of her body was sore, wet, and cold. She didn't want to think about being awake right now, because otherwise she'd remember what just happened.

The thoughts of the loss, of what she'd lost, of who she'd lost too. It was a raw memory, as painful as any of the cuts or burns on her body. She thought about how lucky she was to get away, and how unlucky she'd been to have gotten caught. She thought about all of the Pokémon who'd been taken from Gallow Ridge, who'd be given out to members of Team Power. She thought of her Pokémon, taken away and where they might end up. Would they be dished out like the others? Handed out like the others? Would they be experimented on? Would they…

…She woke up a few minutes later, still on the back of the Sharpedo. In the distance, she saw something that caught her eye; a mansion of some sort. It was a large building, and there were a number of lights on. She saw a car pull up, and deliver something to the front door. She pushed herself and her Sharpedo forward, until she made it onto the estate's grounds. She was breathing heavily and shaking violently from the coldness of the water. She managed to get onto one knee, and return her Sharpedo to its Pokéball, before she started to stumble forward. Each motion was a painful one, and she felt the slick, sticky wounds on her arms open up a little as she touched the cold evening air. After a handful of seconds, she saw a male figure in the distance, approaching her after the door was shut. The boy with the slicked back hair said something, but she ignored it. She stumbled past him, on shaky legs and with heavy, heaving breaths until she got to the boot of his car, where she collapsed against it, gasping for air.

The boy rushed over, helping her to her feet. She gave him a strange look, one of incredulous distrust. Eventually though, she managed to mutter a few words. Barely audible under her ragged breath. "Hel…help…me t…o th…e…the…" She pointed towards the mansion, unable to finish her sentence. It took the man a moment to figure out what she wanted, but when it clicked; he helped pick her up and hobbled her towards the front door. She lifted her finger to try and press the door bell, but it limply slumped against her side before she reached it. The Delivery boy, of all people, reached up and pressed the button.

With the loud ding ringing through the house, the Slowking was the one who answered the doorbell, leaving Freya and Eve for a moment as it opened the door to watch as Nina collapsed in the doorway, her clothes a sopping, barely functional set of rags as she heaved heavy hungry breaths. The Pizza boy sort of stared at the Slowking, shrugging before he just added a 'good luck' before running off to his car.

Wondering why there was a second ring at the door, Rory wandered along, watching as the slowpoke answered it again, and a strange lady seemed to flop into the mansion, not only was she soaking wet and clearly exhausted, he knew by looking at her, that she'd just been in a battle of some sort, various burns and scratches littered her body and he realised at once how severe they must have been. Being the big, strong capable member of the group, he kneels down beside the now prone woman "You have some medical supplies, Champ?" he asks, leaving other matters he had to talk about in the back of his mind for now

"Hey, you with us?" he asks the woman, unsure if she was even conscious, using whatever supplies had no doubt been fetched to him to patch her up quickly, before turning to Eve for a moment "Hey, you get her legs for me" he gently grabs under her arms, near her shoulders and prepares to hoist her "I hope you have a spare room, because if not, I'll be sleeping on the couch tonight, she needs a good rest to recover"

Assuming she helped him, Rory would carry the woman to a spare room, or the one intended for him, if there wasn't one, and places her on the bed "You think this was Team Power?" he asks quietly, frowning

Galvonis​

Galvonis looked over the plans that were at hand, satisfied that nearly everything was going as intended. Sure, Nina showing up slowly things down a little, but not nearly enough to halt anything. She was sad that she had gotten away, but she knew it wouldn't be the last time she saw her. She was far too strong spirited to just give up. She smirked, until she felt her phone buzz. She looked down at the caller ID, seeing it was Kendrick which means she needed to give a status report. She sighed, quickly sliding the bar on her phone to answer the call.

Call with Galvonis and Kendrick

Galvonis: Took you long enough to call. Miss me?
Kendrick: Ha please, don't flatter yourself. Is everything set?
Galvonis: Of course it is. What did you think I was up here slacking off? No faith in your partner.
Kendrick: The Hierarch expects you to be back at the base with the pokemon you captured by morning.
Galvonis: Yeah, we're about to head out here. Had a small delay, but I cracked my whip and got things back going.
Kendrick: Good. I'll see you soon then. *click*

Glavonis smiled, putting her phone in her pocket and called out, "Alright! Pack everything up, we're rollin' out!" She got into the closest truck and her and the rest of Team Power rode down the mountain roads into the night. Once everything was in place, she grabbed a detonator, and pressed the red button upon it, and behind her a large powerful series of explosions erupted from the mountains behind her, crumbling a variety of caves and making some of the mountain's formations change completely. She smirked, looking at the red hot flames that consumed the mountains in her rear-view mirror. She smiled, and leaned back in her seat, listening to the hum of the truck as they traveled back to their secret base.

[Teiso]

Since having been beat by the psychic gym leader upon arriving in town, the male dressed in black had wandered around the town, re-familiarizing himself with the area. Throughout his exploration, and during the earlier battle he had taken notice of odd behavior with his trusted partner, a Tyranitar, and had eventually decided to let the local pokecenter take a look at it. However on his way, there was an explosion on the nearby mountains known as Gallow Ridge, the place where he had first caught his own Tyranitar. At the realization of his partner's oddness, he had shrugged it off, and started to head the opposite direction, until the Tyranitar forced it's way out of the pokeball.
The male shot a glare towards the large pokemon, and with one hand on his sword's sheath popped it out a little. "Are you sure you want to disobey me?" The pokemon responded with a roar, and it's tail began to glow the familiar purple of a dragon tail. With a sigh the male allowed his sword to fall back into it's sheath. "Well, if you're that dead-set on it. Just know, you will be punished for this insubordination later." Recalling the large pokemon back into it's pokeball, the male pulled another out, and released a Hydreigon, before climbing on it's back.
"Head to the fire." He instructed, as the mighty dragon type took off into the sky, and made it's way towards the area in which the fire had originated. On the way, they spotted a caravan of vehicles, suspiciously driving away from the mountainous area. "Either they're oblivious to the explosion behind them, or they caused it." he spoke in a way that told the Hydreigon to fly down in that direction.
When they were slightly ahead of the caravan, the male dropped off the mighty dragon and recalled it into it's pokeball, landing a few feet in front of them. He quickly drew his weapon and planted it in the ground, keeping one hand on the hilt, behind him his Tyranitar once more left it's pokeball without permission. Though this time greeted differently by it's trainer, who instead gave two commands, the first, to mega-volve, the second to use earthquake. Upon the first command the sword began to glow, the symbol on mega-stones showing halfway down the blade, as it produced rays that connected with the mighty pokemon's wrist, where a steel bracelet held a stone known as Tyranitarite, granting it access to mega evolution. Once the change was completed, the pokemon stomped on the ground, causing a crack in the road that would force the caravan to stop, or risk damaging the vehicles and whatever may be in them.



[spoili]For any who may be wondering about Shiko due to me not having a character sheet posted in OOC, this is because he's a mystery to most, including other gym leaders, so pretty much the only two people in Seloh that would know anything other than the fact that he is Tori's brother/the rightful psychic gym leader would be Eve and maybe Professor Willow, as such Fox has the basic character sheet through PM, and it will be revealed to everyone else in OOC after a few posts with him =^.^=[/spoili]

Daniel waited and waited for Ansel to show up. He waited a good three hours before he realized that he had been stood up by the photographer. He had been lied too .. . no, he obviously confused the pokemon center. It wasn't this one. He had meant the one in the next town or the one after this one. Sparky sighed as it( her) master tried to hide his sadness. The Pikachu understood his anger and he took a deep breath. " Let's go Sparky," he said to his Pikachu. He decided to travel to the first gym or just find someone. He needed a battle.

@Anyone who needs a partner

 

[GlassTrinity]

Freya knew the kind of response she'd get out of Eve, but it was still reassuring to know that she was comfortable with their relationship despite all these people around. Truly if Freya wished it they could of gone public with everything, but to Freya theirs was a relationship that didn't require the approval of anyone else, it simply wasn't anything more than friendship... Though that kind of friendship with Everlyn did have its benefits.

"You didn't need to do that, but the sentiment is appreciated." Freya said after accepting the kiss.

She seemed in a much better mood now than she had been earlier. The training battles and Eve's devotion towards her had made Freya forget about what she had on her mind before and really helped to let her delve herself deeper into her own role in all this. Helping Eve as well didn't bother her much, it was a lot better than the grind of working at the bakery. Freya helped set out drinks and get things ready, that was until some commotion found its way into their peaceful preparation.

Galvonis​

Galvonis saw the Mega-Tyranitar come out and destroy part of the road, standing in their way. She thought that perhaps the Elite Tyranitar of the mountains followed them down and was looking to avenge its comrades that had been captured. But, when she looked past it, she saw that there was a sword and a power bracelet. She scoffed, and said, "You three, go handle this... Don't make me get out of the car." The grunts nodded their heads quickly and said, "Yes Ma'am!!" They rushed out of the truck, running towards the large Pokemon which they had been fighting lots of the last 24 hours. The grunt threw out his Drapion, and called out, "Hey!! Get out of here!!! If you surrender now.. We might let you live scrub!" There was no backing off, and within seconds a battle started between Team Power and the mysterious man.

Battle Vs Shiko

The Grunt was standing with his last Pokemon, defeating the Dark Dragon at last. The other two trainers sent out their Pokemon, a Primeape and a Pyroar, which quickly closed in on the man. They saw that he had a sword, so he could quite easily defend himself. However, Pyroar sent out a mighty flamethrower that hit Shiko directly, igniting his clothes aflame. The Primeape closed in, hitting the man with a powerful punch to the face, not caring about the slash that came his way. The Grunts radioed back to Galvonis, looking for direction. "Mistress Galvonis, do you wish us to bring him in?" She looked at her radio, pausing for a moment before grinning, taking it in her hand and shook her head. "Absolutely not. This man thought he could just stand before Team Power, show his might and get away with it? He couldn't even defeat one of you. He isn't worth the breath he breaths. End him." The Grunts nodded, and one radioed in with a, "Yes Ma'am."

One Grunt closed in, seeing Shiko on the ground, slowly rising up to defend himself. The Grunts looked at each other, but then nodded, and one said, "Let you be an example never to stand before Team Power!! Primeape, Thunder Punch!!!"

The other quickly nodded and said, "Pyroar, Crunch!! Rip him apart!!" The Pokemon closed in, remembering the many days of being beaten, shocked, whipped, starved... There was no way they would disobey their orders, even if it meant taking a live. The Primeape Punched with fists of lightning, while Pyroar sank his teeth deep into the man's flesh. They attacked him again and again until he could no longer stand, the Grunt who battled with the man moved up, taking his sword into his hands and twirled it around. "You should have ran while you could... Sucks to be you, Scrub." With that, he aimed the sword down towards the man's face, throwing it down and let it pierce the man's skull right between the eyes, dealing the final blow to the man in black.

The Team Power members collected the Pokemon and Mega-Bracelet and Mega-Stone the man wore, turning to leave him in the dirt. They all loaded up into the truck, settling back down, and Galvonis had a look of sheer delight on her face. She nodded, giving the grunt a small kiss on the cheek and said, "Good work my dear. Lets move out!!" Without any other words, the caravan drove around the crack in the, leaving the man at the start of it dead for the Mandibuzz to come and feast upon...

@Ruby.

 

[Kye]

[fieldbox=Ilus, purple, solid] Ilus rolled his eyes as Michello told him off. It wasn't really a new occurrence, the poison elite being called out on his behavior often enough that one might wonder why he bothered at all? Still, he'd rather stay on the man's good side, and Eve seemed rather fond of the blonde women. He turned away, letting others say their piece on the matter. Clearly, their eloquence would be much more influential in the woman's decision to stay. Besides, he'd rather watch all the practice matches, flitting out into the yard to watch. Mostly staying to the sidelines. Training was all well and good, but he wasn't so inclined to rush into battle so soon after his vacation. Not yet anyway. Though the more training battles he witnessed, the more he itched to be involved. Maybe after pizza, going back inside as Delphox came to call them all. "Oooh, so impressive! Have you been practicing, love?" He asked the fox, trailing in behind her. Ilus had just gotten himself a slice when there was another disturbance at the door, meandering after Rory as the man went to investigate.

Green eyes widened at the sight before him, a woman looking worse for wear, soaked to the bone and unconscious on the floor. The elite four swallowed his mouthful of pizza, looking over his shoulder. "Eve, honey? There's a half dead woman dripping water all over your entrance way!" He called, sounding rather blase about the entire ordeal. Slow footsteps brought him closer to the scene, nudging the drenched body with his toe. "I mean, I think she's still breathing." Hopefully. It would be quite the mess if someone died in the champ's home. Rory and Eve helped move to a new room, Rory making comment about Team Power. "Why immediately think team power? Not everything wrong in Seloh is their doing... Though maybe this isn't the best place to discuss this. The woman needs her rest after all." [/fieldbox]

Everlyn Voronis, Champion of Seloh​

Delphox was quite pleased that someone noticed her hard work. She swished her tail about, hugging Ilus with her arms, her fur nearly consuming the man. Once the embrace was over, she followed him into the home, her ears twitching at a sudden commotion.

Everlyn was smiling at Freya when she heard the thud, followed by Rory yelling at her for some first aid. When she came through the hall leading to her living room, she gasped and blinked, rushing to help Rory lift her up and into one of the bedrooms. She quickly looked around and started to think. CRAP!! I don't really have another room... And I don't want anyone sleeping on the couch, if we are going to be trying to hunt after Team Power tomorrow, everyone is going to need their rest. 'She needs a good rest to recover'. Well... If that is the case, my bed would be really comfortable but then I wouldn't really be comfortable myself on the couch... None of the beds are nearly comfortable enough in the bedrooms for someone who needs to rec-... Everlyn looked over to the room with the black door, realizing that it had the most comfortable bed in all the house. She nodded, and she turned to Delphox and said, "Get the bandages and the medkit! I'll meet you in the room with a black door. GO!" Delphox was quick with her actions, dashing through the house with small wisps of fire flowing behind her.

Everlyn lifted Nina up, letting out a small grunt and said, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of her. She needs to get some bandages on these cuts, and a good rest. She'll be in good care, and hopefully we can discuss with her what happened in the morning. I will make sure she makes it through okay." She walked out of the room Rory took the woman to, carrying her to the room with a black door. She looked over to Slowking who was following her along the whole time. She then cleared her throat and asked, "Uh... Little hand here?" He nodded, using his powerful Psychic abilities to hold her up while Everlyn unlocked the room. She let Slowking and Delphox enter the room, and it shut behind her with a locking sound. After a moment, Delphox came out of the room, rushing down the hall and ran back with a bunch of sheets and a large pillow. After about an hour, Everlyn and Delphox came out of the room, a bit wet, holding the wet tattered clothes in her hands. She looked around to Freya, Ilus, Rory, Ari, Tori and Michello and said, "Well... She seems stable, and her wounds are all patched up.. I loaned her some of my night clothes, so hopefully she'll be alright. Slowking is gonna monitor her til the morning, and no one will bother her til then. Like Rory said, she needs rest most of all. Speaking of which.. It is starting to get late everyone, maybe it is good for everyone to get some rest."

Everyone was shown where their rooms were, where the extra bedding was if needed, and the closest bathrooms to their rooms. She let out a deep breath, not hosting for this many people in quite some time. She was sad to find out that Freya wasn't going to stay the night, but she understood that her bakery needed to be tended to. Everyone seemed to be situated, so she herself decided it was time to try and relax a bit. She headed upstairs, letting out a small breath and headed to her room. Sleep however didn't come very easy tonight, there were so many things that were left unanswered, so many things she was going to need to figure out. She let out a deep breath, surprised to hear a rap at the door, making her, Delphox, and Alakazam look up with great question.

It was Ari, of all people, and she waved her hand so that Ari would come into the room, and Delphox and Alakazam left the room, leaving the two alone for the rest of the night.

Eve and Ari Rping

Everlyn had been laying on her bed, unable to sleep herself. Her long crimson hair spread out all around her, and she thought about all that was to come soon. She knew that she was going to have to find some good leads on team power, and she felt that she was the only one who would do it. But.. She had a lot of people who were willing to help fight them... She knew she wasn't alone but... At the moment, with her house full of people, she felt a bit alone. She drew in a deep breath, rolling on her side and closed her eyes, keeping just one light on to let Alakazam finish his puzzle, Delphox sleeping quietly on her couch. Then there was a knock, which made Alakazam rise to his feet and pull open the door. Everlyn watched as the protective phychic pokemon stood before Ari, blinking a few times before Eve called out quietly, "Alakazam, enough. Let her in for goodness sake." Eve sat up fully, still wearing her red V neck shirt and her pants, not having the desire to undress for bed yet. She smiled at Ari, tilting her head at her which made her collar ding as the metal loop hit against the metal ring. She asked, "Everything okay Ari? Did the TV down stairs not work? Slowking misplaces the remote sometimes..." She sighed before moving to stand up, letting out a small huff as she ran her hand through her hair.
--
Not expecting to see Alakazam Ari held her hands up like she'd just been caught doing something she shouldn't of been. "I'm sorry I didn't mean-!" Then suddenly Eve spoke up, causing Ari to look over at her in relief. Alakazam moved out of the way, allowing her entry. She accepted, coming into Eve's room and gently shutting the door behind her. Ari really didn't want to wake anyone up if they were sleeping. Her hands still clung to the door nob... She didn't know if she should really be here. A bit hunched over with her fingers on the door, Ari turned her head and looked over her shoulder. "No, nothing like that... I just couldn't sleep so... So..." Suddenly she felt her face get hot and she knew she was blushing, something that got her even more flustered knowing. "I-I just thought we could talk!" She said a tone louder than she should have.
--
Everlyn tilted her head back and forth, and then nodded and said, "Well, I know I am not going to sleep for a while, so I'd love to chat a bit." She looked to her two pokemon in the room, giving them a nod which they knew means she wanted privacy. She let her pokemon clear the room, letting Ari feel a bit more comfortable hopefully. She laid on her side, patting the bed and then smiled, her red eyes looking into Ari's purple ones. "Well, I am really glad you could stay. I know Freya had to go and work her bakery, but I am sure she'll be back tomorrow once things close. How's things with your new pokemon going? I... I'd like to go catch some more with you sometime, if you'd like. I've been exploring Seloh for a long time so, if there is a pokemon you're after, I'll know where to look!" She smiled, looking away from Ari to look out her window for a moment. She caught Salamance doing her rounds, flying around to make sure no one was approaching the house. She smiled, glad that she had pokemon that cared about her and her guest's safety so much.
--
"W-well..." Ari looked away when Eve laid across her bed, but wondering eyes still lingered a bit and she noticed Eve's beckoning pats next to her. She squeezed her eyes shut and tried to tell herself to just have a normal conversation. Ari walked over and took a seat next to Eve on her bed. To no surprise it seemed even more comfortable than hers. "They're fine I guess... I don't really feel like they're mine yet though." She really did think that was a nice gesture that Eve didn't need to do, and they were really cute pokemon. Suddenly she felt a little embarrassed in thinking in such a way and got stern, stiffening her back and looking down at Eve from her side of the bed. "You didn't have to do that anyway. I know you think I need a team, but I already have one!" Ari said, putting a hand down on the mattress and leaning forward towards Eve. She held up two fingers. "A two man team of winners!"
--
Everlyn reached out, laying a hand on Ari's knee and shook her head. "I don't think you need the other Pokemon. However, its good to have options, no matter the situation. When we start fighting Team Power, if Ore goes down, you should have others you can count on, right? That is important for sure. So, just at least try to humor the idea, okay?" She smiled, pulling her hand away slowly, closing her eyes for a moment as she thought. She sat up so she wasn't laying on her side, her bust bouncing just a bit from the sudden movement. She looked over to Ari, her hair cascading down her body as she leaned back on her hands. "So, have you enjoyed your stay so far? I must say its different having so many people staying in my home. But.. Its really nice. Having people around makes me not feel so... Well... Alone." She gave a weak smile, her red eyes looking away after a momnet, not wanting Ari to feel like she needed to do anything about her feelings.
--
Ari got a confused look on her face, her head tilted a little and her mouth flattened. "Uh, how can you feel alone? You have like- a million pokemon and this awesome mansion and money." Ari, feeling more comfortable now, likely because of Eve's open feelings, moved over and sat next to Eve. "Besides, everybody loves you. Even my mom likes you... My... Mom." Ari said slowly, trying to let that sink in.
--
Everlyn nodded, smilling a little as she looked over Ari. "Well... Those things are true, and my Pokemon are very much my friends but... Most everyone just looks at me as the Champion. They look up to me because of my skill, wealth, power.. I... I know I am important to the community, I love Seloh with all my heart. But, I guess I have been feeling alone because I don't have many people who want to know me as.. Well Eve. Not just, Everlyn, Champion of Seloh. Ya know?" She tilted her head as she begged her question, blushing a bit as Ari mentioned her mom. She blushed a little then nodded and said, "Its true, Freya does like me, but she respects people who can hold her own. I think its... A different kind of like, ya know?" She wasn't about to discuss her relationship with Freya, but what she said most ceratinly wasn't untrue.
--
Ari blinked a few times in confusion. "You think she likes you because your strong?" Ari was a little surprised that Eve came to that conclusion, but the more she thought about it the more it seemed like the first thing other people would think. After all, they didn't know her like she did. "Mom hates people stronger than her, so if you really did beat her in a battle or something and she still talks to you then you must be a really good person. She told me once that it isn't about being strong, but about accepting yourself and standing by your own strength." Ari looked over to Eve and smiled. "She looks at everyone, even her pokemon, through that." Ari crossed her legs, sitting indian style and putting her hands between her legs. "If it makes you feel any better, I don't care what anyone says they are. Who cares about something as silly as a title? A badge doesn't make you stronger or better than anyone else." Ari said. She did feel a little like she was trailing off from the reason she even came though, so she threw in a little something at the end under her breath. "Or how good of a kisser you are." She said under muffled breath, looking around the room with red cheeks.
--
Everlyn was most certainly surprised by her last comment, and it made her blush for sure. She looked over to Ari, blinking a few times and let out her hand run through her hand nervously. She cleared her throat and said, "I... I didn't think that was something you'd think highly of me.. I am... Well still sorry about putting you through that.." She looked down, her hands clawing into her pants as she tried to think what to say next. She let out a small breath, then nodded and said, "But, I guess its good that you look at people that way. It means you look to see people for who they truly are. That... Well that's important." She smiled, looking up to look into Ari's eyes, a small smile on her features.
--
Ari shot up straight and looked over at her, her face red and flustered. "No no no! Don't think I'd hate you or anything! I don't hate anybody! You'd have to do something really terrible to get on my bad side." Ari, who was now just trying to make herself clear and open, started rocking back and forth. "I mean... I might of over reacted back then." Ari let out a nervous laugh, anything to try and defuse her own embarrassment. "I mean, here I am at my age and I don't even know the first thing about kissing or any of that stuff." She said, her hand reaching up and scratching the back of her head.
--
Everlyn shrugged a little and said, "That.. Well that isn't really a bad thing Ari. Some people would probably look at me as a slut for being so.. Well sensual. Its not like you're an old lady or something, you still have plenty of time to learn that stuff." She couldn't help but smile, feeling like she was actually on a good foot with Ari. She even said that she didn't hate her which was a really good thing, but on top of it, she even said she might have over reacted, which means that she wasn't mad at her for what happened. Eve smiled, then looked up to Ari again and said, "And if I may be honest, for someone who says they have such little experiance, you were quite the kisser yourself."
--
Ari's head quickly turned towards Eve. She held up a hand lazily and pointed towards the liar and openly called Eve out. "We both know I just stood their like an amateur and let you suck my face..." The longer Ari dwelt on what she just said the more embarrassed she felt, less now from what happened but more because she just stood there at the time and couldn't even kiss someone back. The thought of how awful a kisser she really was made her feel a little less and less like bringing it up again.
--
Everlyn shook her head and said, "No! Trust me, I have had far worse kisses. That is for sure." Everlyn smiled at Ari, the blush on her cheeks starting to deepen. She let out a deep breath, then cleared her throat and said, "There isn't anything wrong with being an amature, you can only get better with practice, right?" She smiled, leaning back on her hands again to get more comfortable, her push pushing against her shirt as she stretched her neck from side to side, her long hair swaying from one side to the other as she did so.
--
Ari scoffed, replying as if by reflex. "Ya, right-o. What am I gonna practice on, a substitute doll?" A light chuckle came out of her chest, not realizing the implications she might of made from such a comment.
--
Everlyn blushed, barely able to believe what she heard come from Ari. It was like a clear invitation, not something she had expected. So, she reached out, taking Ari's hand and smiled. "If, you want someone to experiment with I... I'd be more than willing to be availible. Besides... Who better to practice with than someone like me, right?" There was a bit of darkness in her words, her smile wasn't as bright as it normally was, her red eyes looking down at their hands instead of staying locked with Ari's eyes.
--
There was a moment of pause after Everlyn expressed her interest, something Ari wasn't prepared for in the slightest. She looked at her, wide eyed and dumbfounded. Almost instantly Ari's hands whisked themselves away from Eve's hands and she held them up. "I... Uh... Wow." Ari started to laugh lightly behind her impending nervousness. The idea of doing that again with Eve... She couldn't tell if she was embarassed or excited. Maybe both. "I don't know..." She said, lowering her arms. A part of her thought things would be different now in this situation. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad... Maybe it was time she tried being more of an adult.

"Hrmmmm.... HRMMMMM." She grunted, her eyes shut tight and her face in a grimace as she tried hard to think of what she should say or do. After rocking back and forth a few more times in her PJ's Ari reached forward, embracing Eve in a big hug and started to let it all pour out. "Thank you thank you thank you Eve! I don't wanna be a loose girl or anything so I tried to forget about things like this but after you kissed me I just couldn't stop thinking about it! I thought I was a naughty girl or something and I was gonna be terrible but maybe if you helped me I could get it out of my system, I don't know, maybe find a husband someday? Do I even want a husband? What if he thinks I'm a loose girl or something?" Ari droned on and on, feeling happy that she finally had someone to talk about something like this with. She couldn't talk to Freya, let alone her father about something like this...
--
Everlyn blushed, the hug after Ari spent so much time thinking about it made her feel like she had messed up all over again. She let out a calm breath, hugging Ari back. She was starting to ramble on and on, but she let her ramble and get her throughts out. She was afraid that having experiance would make her look like a loose woman. She couldn't help but look away, only thinking what Ari or anyone else must think of her. She also registered that Ari wanted a husband, so she was just someone to experiment with. That.. Was probably for the best. Eve pulled Ari back just enough so that she could kiss Ari on the cheek, then pulled her in a way so that Ari was straddling Eve's lap.

"No one is going to think you're a loose woman Ari. You're far too strong and adorable for that. Its natural to want to explore your desires and wants with others, I promise. Anyone who says otherwise is still living in the stone ages." She smirked, then slowly laid back, pulling Ari down a bit as she did so. She smiled at her, biting her lip then let out a small breath. "Alright... Well, I want you to do what is comfortable, alright? I'd never judge you, and if you do something that doesn't feel good, I promise to let you know, alright? I expect the same from you." She smiled, letting her hands lay above her head, looking into Ari's eyes, waiting to see what would come next.
--
The two spent the rest of the night together, Ari falling asleep hugging Everlyn tight from behind after a long night of "experimenting" together. Everlyn hadn't really been close to someone on an intimate level in quite some time, and.. Even though Ari was still unsure about everything, she couldn't help but feel that things were heading in the right direction. She closed her eyes, her hands moving to her waist where Ari's hands were, holding them until she finally found the comfort of sleep.

[fieldbox="Michello Francis, Orange, Solid"]

Michello was the last to leave the training hall; following the call for food and the second ring of the doorbell. After everyone else had left the room, he walked over to the main stage and withdrew the Pokéball which housed Lola. Gripping it tightly, he put the Pokéball to his head, before whispering a silent apology to her and the entire team by proxy. The sting of failure had him feeling a bit down, and losing to Tori had shaken his normally untouchable brave front.

It took him a few minutes, but eventually Michello joined the rest of the group for Pizza. By that time, Nina had already been moved into Eve's spare room, and so the first that Michello heard of the strange new addition was through rumour. He nodded when people mentioned Nina's sudden arrival, but mostly he kept quiet. Anyone who was paying attention might notice how uncharacteristically distant Michello was; but if anyone approached him, he'd shrug them off with a simple, impassive 'I'm fine'. Eventually, he made his way to the room that Everlyn had pointed out to him. He locked the door and put his Pokémon on the healing machine. His last action of the night was to send a text to his Gym's main handler, Sophietta.

[spoili] Hi, it's me. Transfer everyone to the PC tomorrow, I'm going to pick out a new team.[/spoili]

With that done, Michello stripped down to his underwear and flopped onto the bed, not even climbing under the covers before he rolled up into a ball and started to snore.

Everlyn Voronis, Champion of Seloh​

Delphox was quite pleased that someone noticed her hard work. She swished her tail about, hugging Ilus with her arms, her fur nearly consuming the man. Once the embrace was over, she followed him into the home, her ears twitching at a sudden commotion.

Everlyn was smiling at Freya when she heard the thud, followed by Rory yelling at her for some first aid. When she came through the hall leading to her living room, she gasped and blinked, rushing to help Rory lift her up and into one of the bedrooms. She quickly looked around and started to think. CRAP!! I don't really have another room... And I don't want anyone sleeping on the couch, if we are going to be trying to hunt after Team Power tomorrow, everyone is going to need their rest. 'She needs a good rest to recover'. Well... If that is the case, my bed would be really comfortable but then I wouldn't really be comfortable myself on the couch... None of the beds are nearly comfortable enough in the bedrooms for someone who needs to rec-... Everlyn looked over to the room with the black door, realizing that it had the most comfortable bed in all the house. She nodded, and she turned to Delphox and said, "Get the bandages and the medkit! I'll meet you in the room with a black door. GO!" Delphox was quick with her actions, dashing through the house with small wisps of fire flowing behind her.

Everlyn lifted Nina up, letting out a small grunt and said, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of her. She needs to get some bandages on these cuts, and a good rest. She'll be in good care, and hopefully we can discuss with her what happened in the morning. I will make sure she makes it through okay." She walked out of the room Rory took the woman to, carrying her to the room with a black door. She looked over to Slowking who was following her along the whole time. She then cleared her throat and asked, "Uh... Little hand here?" He nodded, using his powerful Psychic abilities to hold her up while Everlyn unlocked the room. She let Slowking and Delphox enter the room, and it shut behind her with a locking sound. After a moment, Delphox came out of the room, rushing down the hall and ran back with a bunch of sheets and a large pillow. After about an hour, Everlyn and Delphox came out of the room, a bit wet, holding the wet tattered clothes in her hands. She looked around to Freya, Ilus, Rory, Ari, Tori and Michello and said, "Well... She seems stable, and her wounds are all patched up.. I loaned her some of my night clothes, so hopefully she'll be alright. Slowking is gonna monitor her til the morning, and no one will bother her til then. Like Rory said, she needs rest most of all. Speaking of which.. It is starting to get late everyone, maybe it is good for everyone to get some rest."

Everyone was shown where their rooms were, where the extra bedding was if needed, and the closest bathrooms to their rooms. She let out a deep breath, not hosting for this many people in quite some time. She was sad to find out that Freya wasn't going to stay the night, but she understood that her bakery needed to be tended to. Everyone seemed to be situated, so she herself decided it was time to try and relax a bit. She headed upstairs, letting out a small breath and headed to her room. Sleep however didn't come very easy tonight, there were so many things that were left unanswered, so many things she was going to need to figure out. She let out a deep breath, surprised to hear a rap at the door, making her, Delphox, and Alakazam look up with great question.

It was Ari, of all people, and she waved her hand so that Ari would come into the room, and Delphox and Alakazam left the room, leaving the two alone for the rest of the night.

Eve and Ari Rping

Everlyn had been laying on her bed, unable to sleep herself. Her long crimson hair spread out all around her, and she thought about all that was to come soon. She knew that she was going to have to find some good leads on team power, and she felt that she was the only one who would do it. But.. She had a lot of people who were willing to help fight them... She knew she wasn't alone but... At the moment, with her house full of people, she felt a bit alone. She drew in a deep breath, rolling on her side and closed her eyes, keeping just one light on to let Alakazam finish his puzzle, Delphox sleeping quietly on her couch. Then there was a knock, which made Alakazam rise to his feet and pull open the door. Everlyn watched as the protective phychic pokemon stood before Ari, blinking a few times before Eve called out quietly, "Alakazam, enough. Let her in for goodness sake." Eve sat up fully, still wearing her red V neck shirt and her pants, not having the desire to undress for bed yet. She smiled at Ari, tilting her head at her which made her collar ding as the metal loop hit against the metal ring. She asked, "Everything okay Ari? Did the TV down stairs not work? Slowking misplaces the remote sometimes..." She sighed before moving to stand up, letting out a small huff as she ran her hand through her hair.
--
Not expecting to see Alakazam Ari held her hands up like she'd just been caught doing something she shouldn't of been. "I'm sorry I didn't mean-!" Then suddenly Eve spoke up, causing Ari to look over at her in relief. Alakazam moved out of the way, allowing her entry. She accepted, coming into Eve's room and gently shutting the door behind her. Ari really didn't want to wake anyone up if they were sleeping. Her hands still clung to the door nob... She didn't know if she should really be here. A bit hunched over with her fingers on the door, Ari turned her head and looked over her shoulder. "No, nothing like that... I just couldn't sleep so... So..." Suddenly she felt her face get hot and she knew she was blushing, something that got her even more flustered knowing. "I-I just thought we could talk!" She said a tone louder than she should have.
--
Everlyn tilted her head back and forth, and then nodded and said, "Well, I know I am not going to sleep for a while, so I'd love to chat a bit." She looked to her two pokemon in the room, giving them a nod which they knew means she wanted privacy. She let her pokemon clear the room, letting Ari feel a bit more comfortable hopefully. She laid on her side, patting the bed and then smiled, her red eyes looking into Ari's purple ones. "Well, I am really glad you could stay. I know Freya had to go and work her bakery, but I am sure she'll be back tomorrow once things close. How's things with your new pokemon going? I... I'd like to go catch some more with you sometime, if you'd like. I've been exploring Seloh for a long time so, if there is a pokemon you're after, I'll know where to look!" She smiled, looking away from Ari to look out her window for a moment. She caught Salamance doing her rounds, flying around to make sure no one was approaching the house. She smiled, glad that she had pokemon that cared about her and her guest's safety so much.

She let out a deep breath, then cleared her throat and said, "There isn't anything wrong with being an amature, you can only get better with practice, right?"

She smiled, letting her hands lay above her head, looking into Ari's eyes, waiting to see what would come next.
--
The two spent the rest of the night together, Ari falling asleep hugging Everlyn tight from behind after a long night of "experimenting" together. Everlyn hadn't really been close to someone on an intimate level in quite some time, and.. Even though Ari was still unsure about everything, she couldn't help but feel that things were heading in the right direction. She closed her eyes, her hands moving to her waist where Ari's hands were, holding them until she finally found the comfort of sleep.

Unable to sleep, given the stress of having a half dead woman show up, Rory wandered the halls, eating the last of the pizza as he did, his senses more keen than normal, given his sudden bout of alertness and wariness. He sighs as he continues to stroll slowly. Chomping happily on the leftovers from earlier "Man, she has good taste in decor and in pizza, what a woman" he smiles to himself as he examines each statue in the dim light. He could remember carving each statue with care and patience, and couldn't help but feel proud of his work

As he passes the black door, he pauses, debating going inside, to check on the situation of the woman within, but remembering the rules about not going inside, he sighs. Rubbing his neck and walking slowly, trying to navigate the dark hallways, to find the champion's room. Finding the room, he pauses outside, hearing something from within "It's rude to eavesdrop..." he mutters, trying to make out what could be being said within

"Fuck it" he grunts, placing his ear to the door gently, wondering if she was perhaps discussing some plans for the morning with someone on the phone

He immediately wished he hadn't

Thoughts ran wild, emotions spiked and he could feel the ball forming in the pit of his stomach. He removes his ear from the door and places his plate of half eaten pizza down on the nightstand across the hall, next to a small vase of flowers

"Sleep sounds pretty good right about now" he mutters. The thought of checking up on the injured newcomer gone from his mind as his mind ran wild "Yeah...I'll sleep it off"
He heads to his room, locking the door behind him and laying on his bed, not even bothering to undress, or climb under the quilts. Shutting his eyes, he does his best to get some much needed rest, and let the events of the night be forgotten

When Ari asked why her face was so red, Tori started to attempt to leave the arena area, though she stopped to pay attention to Delphox when it arrived to announce dinner. Shortly after finishing the piece she wanted she retreated to the room which was designated for her. Once in her room she let Espeon and Gardevoir out of their pokeballs, and curled up on the bed with the two of them.
For a while she just laid there, cuddling with her partners, she thought about switching out for her own pokemon, rather than the ones left to her by her parents and brother, but at the same time she had barely used her own. She came to the decision that she would at the very least switch out in the morning and train, if she didn't feel like she would be of use to the others then she would switch back. With her plan now set, she allowed her mind to stop wandering and fell asleep rather quickly with her arms wrapped around her Espeon.​

Chasity sat staring at the bars of the cell. Shortly after her partner had incapacitated the officer, more had shown up and arrested her. She had at first pointed out the obvious of them having nothing on her, but they had arrested her for assaulting an officer. It was rather late, and she doubted anyone from Sinnoh would have too much influence over here if she were to call and ask for assistance. Professor Rowan had told her to seek out a Professor Will....or something along those lines if she wanted to learn how to mega evolve either her Lopunny or Altaria. Though she had no interest in the art of mega-evolution, perhaps it wouldn't hurt to ask for assistance, at the very least she could ask this regions professor to check in with Rowan for proof of her not being involved with this 'Team Power'.​

 

[GlassTrinity]

The morning was already well upon her, and with it came fluffy pink pajamas in the form of long sleeved button up shirts with white hearts across them and long matching pants. Ari's fingers barely hung out from her sleeves as she walked down the stairs, hunger having now come over her. She'd already taken a shower, a much... Much needed shower, and now smelt wonderfully of Everlyn's shampoo. The rich champion likely had something stupidly expensive, or at least that what she assumed as it smelt expensive.

Ari had meant to head to the kitchen, wanting to snack on that sweet sweet leftover pizza, but stopped when she passed by the black door that Everlyn had told everyone to stay away from. She was curious as to how the woman that had come in last night was, but not as curious as she was hungry. After entering the kitchen she saw one of the pizza boxes on the counter. Everlyn had promised her pancakes, but she wasn't ready to come downstairs yet. Ari didn't plan on letting anything spoil pancakes, but pizza was also her friend... Could she really leave a friend behind? She didn't think so.

Eagerly she flung open the box but was only greeted with solemn crumbs... She thought she felt a vein pop in her skull. Quickly she rushed over to another box. Empty. All of them. Empty. Slowly, Ari shut the final empty box. She placed all the boxes gently stacked up, one on top of another and let out a calm sigh... Before pulling all the boxes off the counter in a blind rage and twisting herself around. "GAAARH!" Ari yelled as she turned around. She'd planned on forcefully throwing them into the trash, but as she flung her arms and body around she noticed Michello standing across from her on the other side of the kitchen. Her face filled with color from the embarrassment of someone seeing her tantrum, and on top of that it loosened her grip on the boxes. The air filled with cardboard and crust crumbs before the mess fell all over the kitchen, leaving a frozen Ari and likely confused Michello alone in the kitchen.

".... I saw a ghost." Ari muttered in the awkward silence, clearly lying.

[fieldbox="Nina Smith, Purple, Solid"]

After a few hours of sleep, Nina suddenly jolted awake in the middle of the night. When she was fully upright in the bed – The strangely covered, and surprisingly huge bed at that. – She grabbed at her gut as a sudden wash of pain enveloped her. When she touched at her stomach, she felt the odd softness of…silk? When she looked down at herself, she noticed with a shock that she was dressed in a fine silken set of pyjamas, of all things: red, emblazoned with a few dozen Vilpix, chasing each-others' tails. She took a moment to look around the room, and at herself. Someone had taken the time to bandage her up, and she was in someone else's clothes. It was…strange as hell, to be honest. She looked around the room, noticing that a number of the other objects in the room were covered up by white sheets, or were just slightly out of view. Curiosity got the better of her, as she slowly slid herself towards the edge of the bed. Each movement caused her to hiss slightly in pain, and because of the great distraction that was pain, she failed to notice that she was not alone.

From the corner of the Room, Nina heard the pitter-patter of small-but-heavy footsteps. She turned suddenly, looking for anything she could use as a weapon. She grabbed an ornate candlestick from the mantelpiece, wielding it like a weapon and pointing it towards the portly pink figure of Slowking. Nina's eyebrow rose for a second, as she spotted the small tablet in the Pokemon's hand. He started to type rapidly, and quickly relayed a message to her. "Hello, my name is Slowking. Do not worry, you are safe in Mistress Everlyn's estate. You should rest some more, you were seriously injured." He nodded as he noticed Nina finishing her reading of the message, and Nina frowned.

"What is this place? Where's this 'Everlyn'? and why is everything covered up?" She said, before pausing for a moment. "…Was this Everlyn the one who changed my bandages and clothed me?"

Slowking nodded, and his gem in his shell on his head glowed as he typed quickly on the tablet once more. "Yes! She was very concerned about you when you fell here on her doorstep. You were soaking wet, and your poor Sharpeedo was on his last leg! We put him in her office where her Pokemon Bay is, and he will be fully recovered come morning. I am here to monitor your health, so I do insist you at least get back into bed. I promise, no one is going to hurt you here."

A part of her was annoyed that this Everlyn woman had gotten to see her naked without so much as a hello first. For all of a millisecond, she worried about that – but the fact she was in a bed, and not in a cell, was enough of an indication that she'd kept everything 100% hidden. Looking up at the Slowking, Nina's hardened shoulders softened as she put the candlestick back. "So where am I? This is one hell of a master bedroom your owner has." She said, not hiding the fact she was at least a little impressed. The bed especially was a nice touch. Huge, and covered in long flowing strands of ribbon and interlocking loops on the side. Nina noticed the covered up lumps of mystery, and she steadied herself a little as she waited for Slowking's response.

The Slowking seemed pleased with Nina's words, taking some level of pride in the house and the room. "This is Mistress Everlyn's private quarters. She normally only shares it with very special guests, but she made an exception for you. There are a number of guests in the house at the moment, and the Mistress wanted to ensure you could recover in private."

Nina was so very tempted to reach out and pull off the covers of the nearest item, but she knew she was going to have to toe the line for at least a little while. After all, if this Mistress decided to hand Nina over to the police, things could get very messy very quickly. So instead, she moved over and climbed into the bed, letting the final dregs of tension sink out of her as she closed her eyes. "Please tell your mistress I am very…keen to speak with her. It can wait until morning, but after that I insist she come visit."

The Slowking nodded, and soon after that; Nina was asleep. She wouldn't wake up until the morning after, having fallen into a very deep slumber after the exhaustion of the day.

The next morning, later than most, Nina stirred from the bed with a renewed strength. Her limbs were stiff, and while most of the cuts and burns were starting to heal, she couldn't help but feel them irritate and itch at her skin. She looked over at the spot where she expected to see Slowking, and was surprised to see him there, sleeping. She moved over to peek at one of the covered up objects when she heard the door open.

[GlassTrinity]

Freya had done little prep work for the next day that night. She could of done more, but one thought in particular weighed on her mind. Tepi, a boy who lived just up the street in the near by apartment complex, had recently been put through a tough time no thanks to her and Everlyn. A selfish decision on her part for sure, but one that ended up with Freya ultimately rejecting Tepi's feelings. She wasn't oblivious to his feelings, and even though she carried him through time after time Freya couldn't bring herself to accept someone like him. Despite knowing the day would come where she would end up having to turn him down was coming, Freya had done little preparation for it. A few days ago she was sure she'd left the poor boy heart broken... She herself was starting to feel a bit bad about how things had happened. Finally, having not heard from him since the incident, Freya thought it best to at least visit him before it was to get to late. Perhaps she should apologize...

She was about to knock on the door to Tepi's apartment when she noticed something. Her knuckles almost barely touched the surface of the door when she saw that it wasn't shut, not shut enough to be locked anyway. With the turn of her hand she pushed the door open, letting the moonlight slowly illuminate the rooms inside. There wasn't much, Tepi liked to live a minimalist lifestyle from what she could tell, but Even she could see something was wrong. He clearly wasn't home, an odd thing at this hour to be sure considering who he was, but on top of that there seemed to be a few things out of place. Freya walked into the entrance of the apartment before flicking on the light. The apartment in question was disorderly, like someone had come in looking for something. Someone clearly not Tepi. There must of been a break in of some kind, one group coming to mind instantly even though she couldn't prove it. Even through her own investigations of the room Freya couldn't tell if they found what they were looking for... But Tepi was gone. There were no signs of a struggle thankfully, but it still left her worried. Tepi wasn't exactly the type to fight anyone off. He was a shrimp of a man if there ever was one, a big heart in a small body.

Ultimately Freya learned nothing of Tepi's whereabouts or what had happened while to him while she spend the weekend at Everlyn's. Her conscious kept her up most of the night, likely was it the thing that work her up extra early. It was irritating to her, caring about someone so helpless. Still, Tepi had proven to be special in at least one way.... The thought of leaving him to whatever fate he'd stumbled into and how Ari would look at her if she ever found out made Freya do something she normally wouldn't bother in. Seemed that now she was ready to help the group fight Team Power, if not simply to find out if they had any hand in this.

The next morning Freya returned to Eve's mansion, this time not in the best of moods. She dismounted Braviary and made her way to the mansions entrance.​

[fieldbox="Michello Francis, Orange, Solid"]

After waking up sometime early in the morning, Michello groggily reached for his phone as he started to figure out just what the hell he was going to do next. He looked at the full table of available Pokémon, and sighed heavily at the realisation he was going to be relinquishing some of his trusted allies, and his normally clandestine title of the Normal Type Savant. A part of him was dead-against using some of the choices he'd decided on, but after losing yesterday, he'd been a little shaken. He couldn't afford to lose again. He made a loud 'harumph' sound, as he flopped back onto his bed, and fell asleep again; losing another fifteen minutes of consciousness before he finally convinced himself to get up.

Stumbling out of his room, groggy as all sin and wearing a loose-fitting T-shirt and some briefs, Michello moved through Eve's house with a surprising comfort and familiarity, all things considered. He was carrying a pair of trousers which, as he stumbled into the kitchen, he'd managed to get one leg through. It wasn't until he heard the exacerbation and loud crashes from the kitchen that he started to notice something had changed…dramatically. He looked into the kitchen, watching Ari's outburst and subsequent show of embarrassment with a face that probably screamed of his confusion. With one leg still hanging out of his trousers, he sort of stood as still as possible; listening to Ari's explanation before he cleared his throat eventually. "M…Makes sense, I guess." His cheeks reddened a little as he noticed Ari in her pyjamas, noticing that she looked quite…for lack of a better word, cute. It wasn't what he'd expected from the punching, kicking fighting type Gym leader. "Did the Ghost type eat all the cold Pizza? I was kinda hoping for a slice."

Everlyn Voronis, Champion of Seloh​

Everlyn stetched out a bit, looking around, seeing that she was alone in her room. It was odd, not having any of her Pokemon in her room, but after the night that she had with Ari, she remembered why she gave them their privacy. She smiled, sitting up a bit to look at her pillow. She felt up to her neck, her collar wasn't on, yet.. She felt safe enough? Her and Ari had a lot to discuss, but one thing was absolute: Ari had a special place in Everlyn's heart. She rose up, her grogginess getting the best of her as she groaned a bit, walking to the shower with her hair in a mess. She looked in the mirror, blinking her eyes a few times to make her vision focus a bit more. She noticed that she had some bruises from her and Ari's night together, and she couldn't help but chuckle a little. Not that anyone would see, with the attire that she wore regularly. She let out a small breath and looked over to the shower, turning it on and let her hand hold under the water as it started to get hot. She thought about everything that had happened ever since she got to Seloh... Her mind drifted to Danni, wondering how she was doing with her ambitions. She helped her so much when she thought she wasn't going to make it as Champion, encouraging her to press on and never give up. Then all the work she'd done in Seloh, establishing the battle network with Professor Willow's technology. Then Freya, a woman who both challenged her and accepted her in ways that was hard for her to even explain. Now, in addition to Ari, she had all these people who looked up to her, looked to her for guidance and directions. She wasn't alone, and for the first time in her life, that fact was really sinking into her heart. She smiled, feeling the water nice and hot, and slowly moved her nude body into it.

Delphox had been spending her morning training, feeling that she needed to be on top of her game since she knew that her and Everlyn were about to head out to do a series of fighting ventures that they had never done before. She knew she was a fierce fighter, but she also knew that she had to be on top of her skill completely if she was going to contest the evil-doers that Everlyn described to her. She looked back and forth at her current training partners: Pollywrath and Gourgeist. They both preyed on different weakness, making her need to use strengths as best that she could against them both. Luckily, her speed was starting to become more and more intense, her eyes glowing, flames flicking off her tail. She felt a strong blast of water hit her, sending her sliding, but she had to jump out of the way to avoid the Shadow Ball that was coming her way. She felt the ground under her, however vines quickly wrapped around her ankles, making her let out a bark of frustration. She used her flames to get rid of them quickly, but it was enough time for Pollywrath to send another surge of water at her, knocking her down to the ground. Delphox breathed deeply, growling a bit as she looked back and forth between the two Pokemon. She had done some damage, but she couldn't attack and avoid the attacks at the same time. I need to be faster... Stronger... More Powerful... Everlyn... Mistress, I need your power.. Give me your strength!! I have to be strong for you! I... I WON'T LET YOU DOWN!!!

With her passion flowing through her, Delphox's eyes started to glow very bright, and energy started to flow all around her, surrounding her completely. Within a few moments, the surge of energy linked with the necklace around Everlyn's necklace that was resting on her nightstand in her room. They had such a strong connection, she could connect to the mega stone from a small distance away, and thus gave her the strength to Mega-Evolve. She burst forward, twirling her staff around as flames and Psi Energy flowed all around her. Her fur had slimmed down around her body, and bursts of white had formed all around her fur. She held her staff next to her, looking around quickly between two Pokemon. "Ri-Yiep!" She let out a small yip, her three tails swishing back, then forth, then... Delphox was gone. Or so it seemed, as she quickly reappeared behind Pollywrath, using Psychic on him and threw him up into the air. Her keen eyes moved over to Gourgeist, seeing her prepare an attack, but Delphox was gone again before the ball of energy could fly. As the attack flew towards where Delphox was, it slammed against Pollywrath instead, making him cry out and feint on the grass. Delphox was next to Gourgeist now, and she held out her paw, and a powerful Fireblast pushed out of her hand, slamming against the Grass-Ghost Pokemon, sending it sailing into the sky as well, landing besides Pollywrath. She held up her paws, her staff in one hand, looking back and forth between them. She closed her eyes, and she discharged the energy that was her Mega-Evolution, allowing her to return to her normal self. Delphox blinked a few times, then quickly scurried to get some Hyper Potions and heal her battle buddies.

​

Everlyn came out of her room, fully dressed and ready for the day. Her long hair a bit damp as she rushed down the stairs, her coat flowing behind her as well. Her bust bounced up and down as well, but luckily once she was off the stairs they were a bit more manageable, though she was used to her body's hindrances, and in no way minded them. She heard the commotion in the kitchen with Ari and Michello, and she remembered her promise to Ari, chuckling slightly, her collar ringing as the metal loop bounced on the D-Ring that held it in place. "I did indeed promise pancakes, though you'll have to accept Alakazam making them this morning. He can make enough for everyone, can't you?" Alakazam floated forward, waving his hands over the stove and all the burners came on at once. He then turned to Everlyn, nodding and smiled letting out a small, "Hm! 'Kazam!" He then started focusing on getting all the items needed to cook everyone breakfast. Eve looked over to Ari, looking right at her with a smirk, but her eyes held so much more. She walked past Michello, standing before Ari and smiled, bringing her in close for a small hug. "Goodmorning, My Dear~" She made sure to say the pseudo pet name with a small sensual flare, remembering Ari teasing her for how old the term sounded. She smiled, kissing Ari's forehead quickly and said, "I'll be back in later, gonna check on our guest. Enjoy breakfast, save some for me, hm?" She turned away from Ari, looking to Michello and said, "And don't let Andre eat them all~" She walked next to him, letting her hand run along his arms until she was completely out of the kitchen.

She pressed her thumb onto the fingerprint scanner of her black door, listening to the locking mechanism unlock. She walked in, shutting the door behind her as she made her way to the bed. Slowking turned and smiled, but made plenty of room for Eve to sit, taking many steps back, holding his tablet in his paws. Everlyn let Nina sit up a bit before giving her a gentle smile. "Hey there. I am Everlyn, and as I hope 'King explained, you're here in my estate. I uh.. Sorry for leaving you in this room of all rooms.. It has the most comfortable bed, and.. Well I wanted to make sure you get plenty of rest and that you were comfortable. I'm glad the PJ's fit well! I am sure they are better than your tattered and wet clothes. I am not even sure if they are repairable, but you're welcome to an outfit of mine. So... Listen, I am going to cut straight to the point with you, I need to know what happened to you. People don't just appear on my doorstep, especially not ones who are beat to a pulp and unconscious. I have been hearing more and more reports of Team Power, and.. Me and my friends plan to take them on. We don't know enough about them, but we know they need to be stopped.. I am the Champion of Seloh, and I can't just keep watching people getting hurt and watch my region get destroyed. So.. If, you have any information, about what happened to you or just about Team Power, I'd be really appreciative of it." She reached her hand out, taking Nina's into her hand and giving it a small squeeze. She pulled it away, so she wouldn't make the woman feel awkward and said, "By the way, your Sharpedo should be completely healed by now. However, I noticed that you didn't have any other pokemon with you, and... Well the tan on your wrist suggests that you used to wear a very familiar bracelet..." She held up her own wrist, showing her Mega-Bracelet was the bracelet she was referring too, hoping that the woman would see that she could put connections together that Team Power was involved. She let out a deep breath, looking into the woman's eyes, waiting to hear her response.

[fieldbox="Nina Smith, Purple, Solid"]

Sitting in the room, Nina waited patiently for the arrival of the Slowking's mistress. Every so often, she'd look around the room and try to figure out more of the situation. She'd pieced together most of what happened last night; her memory was thankfully still intact, and she had grabbed the rest of it from the Slowking's answers to her questions. At one point, the Slowking's eyes seemed to close as he nodded off. She guessed that the Pokémon, in its loyalty to its master, had not slept last night to keep an eye on her. Now that he was dozing, Nina slowly stepped out of the bed and reached over to peek at what was underneath some of the covered up parts of the room. She lifted the edge of one sheet with a vapid curiosity; and felt her eyes widen as she saw something utterly unexpected. She looked at the item in particular with an inquisitive interest, but soon found herself replacing the sheet. She'd respect the woman's privacy, even if her curiosity was piqued.

A few minutes later, she heard the shuttering, stuttering sound of the door opening mechanically. The Slowking had awoken from its gaze a couple minutes earlier, and when Everlyn walked in, Nina started to prop herself up on the bed frame. She took in the red-haired woman's features, admiring her face and her dress as she finished sitting herself down beside Nina's borrowed bed. She began speaking; offering niceties and pleasantries and eventually, she started to get to what mattered. Nina was openly shocked to have somehow ended up on the door of the region's Champion, of all things. She was also surprised to hear that the Champion had taken a personal interest in dealing with Team Power.

And then she mentioned the first thing that made Nina physically flinch; the condition of Anne. She looked down at the hand squeezing hers, letting Eve touch her without much resistance. "I've been hunting Team Power alone for…a while now. From even before they became more active in Seloh. I have a personal vendetta against them." She said, as she lifted her hand up to brush a lock of hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear. "I've been working with a man on the inside…Or I had been. Yesterday I got a message about a big mission that Team Power was doing, up at Gallow Ridge. I made my way there, but they ambushed me. I fought off…" She paused, counting on one finger. "…A lot of them, but numbers can trump skill." Her hand clenched into a fist as she remembered what came next. "They captured me; took my team, and my Armlet. Before they could eliminate me though, I managed to get back my Anne…My Sharpedo, and we jumped into a ravine river. The rest is…well…" She indicated to the mansion, the end of her story.

"I have more information for you, but I demand some promises first. You're the Champion, so you'll be able to meet my terms easily enough. They are terms to be discussed in private though." She said, pointing towards the Slowking. "Send him away, and we'll talk. I'll give you names, I'll give you as much information as I can, and you'll listen to my terms." She said, not offering an alternative to the 'offer.' It was clear that the Purple haired woman was used to having it her way; no highway option. After a tense moment, in which Everlyn might be deciding about just what to do with the Purple haired pain in the ass, she cleared her throat.

"And uh…Before I forget." She reached over, grabbing Everlyn's hand in her own with a weakened grip. "Thank you…For helping me. You didn't have to do as much as you have; but you did it anyway. I appreciate it, honest." She looked away from the Red head, her eyes not quite meeting the woman's as she looked at the door, and the Slowking, and then the door again.

[fieldbox="Nina Smith, Purple, Solid"]

About Twenty minutes later, Everlyn and Nina pushed into the kitchen; messy haired and scruffily dressed. The Red-head was helping support the Purple-haired woman, who was walking still with a notable limp. Nina was comfortably leaning against Everlyn, seeming quite comfortable with an arm wrapped around the champion's shoulder. She was dressed in a pair of silken pyjamas; specifically patterned with a print of Vulpixes: Almost certainly on loan from the champ.

Looking around the kitchen, briefly staring at everyone who was still in the room, Nina found herself sizing up everyone who was in the kitchen. Truth be told, none of them seemed all that impressive. Certainly none that were disastrous but none who were worth taking particular note of. One of the men looked particularly bland, and she basically ignored him as she sat down and watched Everlyn; who flicked on the instant coffee machine.

Clearing her throat, Nina tried to gather the attention of those who were in the kitchen. "For those of you who don't know, I stumbled upon Everlyn's estate last night. I was attacked by Team Power at Gallow Ridge, and I'm the vigilante who has been causing them grief for the last few months. My name is Nina. Last night, I was ambushed, swarmed, and beaten. I lost my Pokemon, and I'm left with only one partner. Everlyn has agreed to help me recuperate, in exchange for information about Team Power. I'll let her share what she wants with you, as she is in charge; no?" She said, looking at Everlyn as the messy haired champion poured the pair a cup of coffee each. "We might have figured out a plan of attack in the meantime though. If you have any questions, I'll try and answer them…I make no promises though, I owe you people nothing; after all."
