It was Takumi's turn to be cross. "Nothing." He swiped at his golden hair, but there was no more pink fluff to get out. It looked embarrassingly like he'd been snuggling with some pink children's toy. "I just-"
WUMP!
A giant pink fluffball smacked into Takumi, knocking him onto his a**...again. "Paft! You!" A blue Whimsicott grinned down at him from its spot on his belly. Its pink cotton filled his vision as it danced on the breeze the thing had brought with it. Its gust buffeted Nala, who responded with an ember as she had last time. When the Whimsicott was gone she padded up to Takumi, still laying dazed on the ground. She bend over him and picked at his hair with her paw, licking the bits ruffled by the Whimsicott back into place.
Oh my gosh sooo many shinies to collect~! One of them's an egg, so I'm trying to come up with a reason for Takumi to willingly carry one around... Could he force Jun to do it?
Uᴘ ᴀɴᴅ Cᴏᴍɪɴɢ xxxxEncounter xx || o7 xxxxTrainer Battle 15 || 1o xxxxHeart Scale 1o || o6 Jun blinked. One moment Takumi was standing there scowling at him, the next the boy was on the ground with a great pink Whimsicott standing on his chest. Jun leaned over Takumi, his tall frame casting a shadow over the younger boy. "There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know."
A smile lit Takumi's face rather than the expected scowl. "Oh really!" he said brightly. A moment later he pushed out, hooking his legs around Jun's to wrestle him to the ground.
Nala sat, perplexed. Was she supposed to be helping...or something? Best just sit there and look pretty.
Uᴘ ᴀɴᴅ Cᴏᴍɪɴɢ xxxxEncounter xx || o8 xxxxTrainer Battle 15 || 11 xxxxHeart Scale 1o || o7 Jun raised his eyebrows and leaned back. Takumi had about zero leverage lying on the ground like that, and Jun wasn't about to fall over to boost the kid's ego. "You okay there Takumi?" A hint of a smile crept into his voice.
"Unf. Grrfff." Takumi struggled, pulling as hard as he could, but the infuriating Jun stood rock-solid. "Come...on...fall...over!" When he couldn't manage it Takumi fell back into the grass, huffing. "It's no fair. I should at least be able to take you down when I want to."
Uᴘ ᴀɴᴅ Cᴏᴍɪɴɢ xxxxEncounter xx || o9 xxxxTrainer Battle 15 || 12 xxxxHeart Scale 1o || o8 Jun laughed. "What kind of bodyguard would I be if you could take me down?" He lifted his legs up and out of Takumi's, striding over to sit in the grass next to him. He reached out to pet Nala, having known the Vulpix growing up he knew she had soft fur.
Vin, still out of her pokeball, walked a ways away, not really sure what to do now they weren't fighting. She kept an eye out for trouble. That seemed like the thing to do.
Uᴘ ᴀɴᴅ Cᴏᴍɪɴɢ xxxxEncounter xx || o7 xxxxTrainer Battle 15 || 1o xxxxHeart Scale 1o || o6 Vin perked up, spotting something. A weird little thing, dark brown...oh! A pokemon! She looked back for her trainer. Jun seemed to have noticed too and nodded to the Buneary, indicating Vin should fight it. On my own?
Vin approached the Buneary cautiously, her arms held out in an attacking stance. She wasn't really sure how to fight by herself. What did Jun often have her do? "!" Vin leaped back as the Buneary took a swing. No time to think! The Buneary ran forward and Vin took the hit off her forearms, then whipped around and lashed it with her feet for a counter. What next? Quick attack! Jun always had her use that to finish off her foe. In the blink of an eye, Vin seemed to teleport behind the Buneary. It let out a squeak as Vin chopped it in the back, knocking it out.
Vin's heart soared. She looked eagerly to Jun, who smiled and nodded to her. Yes! Jun was proud! Vin looked down at her paws, flexing them. I'm strong. Stronger than before... She wasn't helpless anymore, was she?
[ Giving the 2 +50exp's I rolled (aka +100exp) to my pokemon. 35 to elend, 30 to vin, 35 to tonks ]
Hope you don't mind, but since we have to finish the easter pokemon before the 25th I wanted to get a few battles out of the way. We should do the Chansey together though! I just realized I rolled three in a row xD
Uᴘ ᴀɴᴅ Cᴏᴍɪɴɢ xxxxEncounter xx || o8 xxxxTrainer Battle 15 || 11 xxxxHeart Scale 1o || o7 Another Buneary appeared after the first. Vin was ready this time, catching it as its punch glanced off her left arm and flinging it over her shoulder. A swift kick brought the fight to an end and Vin's confidence to new heights.
Uᴘ ᴀɴᴅ Cᴏᴍɪɴɢ xxxxEncounter xx || o9 xxxxTrainer Battle 15 || 12 xxxxHeart Scale 1o || o8 A third bunny appeared, colored slightly different than the others before it. At this point, though, the fighting was like clockwork, and Vin's confidence in fighting these same opponents showed. Her movements were swift and assured as she repeated the same strategy. When she was done she smiled and turned to face Jun, wanting his approval. He smiled and nodded, but she could see something else in his gaze. A challenge, a lesson: Don't get comfortable using the same moves all the time. Adapt. Never get too cozy with your opponent. Vin nodded to show she'd gotten the message.
Uᴘ ᴀɴᴅ Cᴏᴍɪɴɢ xxxxEncounter xx || 1o xxxxTrainer Battle 15 || 13 xxxxHeart Scale 1o || o9 "Ex-egg-cute!" Vin whipped around, startled. While she was distracted, a bunch of eggs had bounced up. It took everything she had to keep from looking back at Jun for instruction. The little Riolu raised her paws, examining her opponent. It yelled out, and one of the eggs suddenly launched. Vin pivoted, sliding her body away as the egg sailed past. Two more followed swiftly, with Vin dancing just out of reach. Observing their movements, she knew now how to take it down. Instead of dodging Vin snatched the egg from the air, spinning in a circle to transfer the momentum, and hurled it at the rest of the bunch. They cracked and rolled away. Vin shook out her paw, wincing.
"Just a sec, Tak," Jun said. He walked over, surprising Vin when he took her paw in his hand. His touch was careful and light. "Let me see. Did you hurt it?" Vin nodded slowly. Jun returned with a nod of approval and pulled out a potion to treat her injuries. "Good job, Vin," he murmured, giving her a pat on the head.
Uᴘ ᴀɴᴅ Cᴏᴍɪɴɢ xxxxEncounter xx || 11 xxxxTrainer Battle 15 || 14 xxxxHeart Scale 1o || 1o "Hmm? What's this?" Jun reached out, retrieving a colorful scale from the ground. He rubbed dirt of with his thumb. "Must've fallen off that pokemon..." He trailed off, thinking to himself. He finally offered the scale to Vin, which she took and tucked into the fur around her collar.
Just then two Swirlix appeared, floating towards them on the breeze. Vin thumbed the heart scale nervously. "Vin, try a new move." Jun studied the wild pokemon, calculating. Fairy type, most likely. "Vin, try Iron Tail." She looked at him like he was crazy. He pointed to the heart scale. "Try it." Vin sighed, shaking her head. When she went to attack, however, she found memory she hadn't had before moved her muscles, allowing her to strike with a glowing Iron Tail. Needless to say the Swirlix got wiped out lickitty-split.
Enthralled, Vin dashed to where another Spritzee was floating about and took it out. A Floette got the same treatment, too. "Don't have too much fun," Jun muttered to himself, though he was smiling. It wasn't often the little Riolu got into anything this much.
Uᴘ ᴀɴᴅ Cᴏᴍɪɴɢ xxxxEncounter xx || 12 xxxxTrainer Battle 15 || 15 xxxxLuxury Ball 2o || o1 Jun looked up and immediately stepped back. Three hulking Chansey were waddling forward, their skin an alien blue instead of pink. Jun was happy to let them be on their way, but when he got a closer look at the eggs being carried in their pouches he narrowed his eyes. Their various colors were smeared over with dirt, and the rest of their pouches overflowed with trash and other items.
"Vin." Jun's voice sent a trill down her spine. Her trainer meant business. "Force Palm. Knock them out without harming the eggs." Vin nodded and dashed forward, leaping from one to the next and snapping her paw into the nerve cluster on the backs of their ...necks. All three fell with hardly a noise.
Jun stalked forward, feeling like he wanted to kick these irresponsible pokemon. "How dare you," he breathed, glaring at their faces. To take eggs as their own and not even care for them properly...
Jun took the eggs out carefully, finding some useful sweets, berries, TMs, and other odds and ends. While he was busy cleaning the eggs the first of the Chansey pushed itself up, babbling in a panic. The others quickly bounced up and ran away. Jun looked down at the eggs, sighing. "What am I supposed to do with these?"

If Apollo tried to make conversation on the train ride, Kail most likely ignored him, or gave minimal contributions. He spent much of the time with his sheep on his lap and his arms folded over her wool, while she stared out the window with her nose pressed to the glass. It wasn't until they were... just about at Johto that the relatively peaceful train ride was interrupted. Oshawott was on the seat opposite Kail, arms crossed over his chest, pouting. Kail was staring out the window. The sound was... barely audible at first, but as it grew, Kail lifted his head, listening, and glancing at Apollo as if to see if he heard it to. It was faint... but definitely drawing louder. At first, he thought it was another train... and then he recognized it, and his eyes grew wide.
"Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee--" It was that FREAKING Mareep again! It had followed them onto the train!?! What the hell!?! He jumped up, his own Mareep tumbling off his lap, just as the yellow electric counterpart came barreling down the walkway of the train compartment. What, had it been searching the whole train or something!? Speaking of, the train was just arriving, and Kail quickly darted off, abandoning Apollo and Oshawott to flee for the door, Mareep following after, and the normal colored counterpart close behind. He was just reaching the exit, the train finally at a stop, when the wild electric type caught up, tackling him and immediately electrifying him.
"Argh!" he rolled out of the train, sizzling with electricity, and freed himself from the pokemon, quickly scrambling to his feet and, on reflex, sending out the first pokeball his hand landed on-- which was Conglomerate's. The eggs clattered out as they were released, bouncing readily, but the wild Mareep darted around them, going straight for him. He threw his arms up-- but the collision never came. His own Spechial Sheepeh flew out of the train with a happy cry, tackling the Mareep to the ground and bristling with energy, licking its face. What the... what?
Kail lowered his arms, looking at them, returning the exeggcute as they started bounding off to explore, before they could get too far. Other passengers began trickling out, making large circles around the scene to avoid getting involved, and staring as they dispersed. Kail blatantly ignored them, watching the Mareep, and then flinching when they untangled themselves and the wild Mareep turned to look at him. His own, however, chirruped happily, as if introducing them. "Mareepa~" she chimed happily, bounding over. Kail narrowed one eye, watching her. ".... ! Hey!" he cried out as she suddenly grabbed one of his empty pokeballs, trying to snatch it, and then diving for it as she threw it on the ground. But, too late-- the pokeball bounced, hit the wild Mareep-- who gave Kail quite the arrogant stink eye-- and caught it. For good. What... was he supposed to do with two Mareep....

Kail growled, shooting his Mareep a dirty look as he pushed himself up and trudged over to pick up the pokeball. Mareepa waggled her tail and smiled back at him. Sighing, he looked at the pokeball, grimacing in distaste. The two clearly seemed to... know each other. It would explain why the wild one kept coming after him, and was so aggressive-- he'd caught his friend, or sister, or... whatever. It also explained why Mareepa seemed so friendly with him, and happy to see him... and caught him. Since when did pokemon catch other pokemon. Sighing, he tucked the pokeball away. "I think you've used up your allowance of free time," he muttered, glowering at the electric type, who still obliviously panted happily in return. He pulled her pokeball out and withdrew her back into it, tucking the pokeball away, and looking up to see Oshawott staring out the train window at him.
"Well? Are you coming? Or would you rather run back to your native region?" he taunted, placing a hand on his hip and pulling out another cigarette. He paused a moment, though, and put it away, remembering why he was there. Oshawott puffed out his cheeks, but shoved the window open, jumping out and looking up at him defiantly. Kail raised an eyebrow... and turned to walk towards the professor's lab. Oshawott huffed, pouting a bit in defeat. There was just no impressing this trainer... Maybe he should have stopped that pokemon from attacking him? It had been kinda funny to watch, though... and he deserved it.
Toddling along behind Kail, Oshawott looked up at the pokemon lab, blinking a bit at the faint resemblance it held to where he had just been obtained from. Kail walked in, discussing something with the professor, and handing him a... candy bar? The water type leaned to the side, watching curiously, then looked up at the Professor as he uncertainly listened to Kail after tucking the bar away. Clearly, Kail was being his usual demanding self, but he also seemed to know exactly what he wanted. "You have a totodile here, that just came in. It's... different, and I want it," he was saying, crossing his arms stubbornly across his chest. "W-well, yes, but--" the professor started, and Kail narrowed his eyes. "Now," he stated flatly. The man looked at him a moment, then nodded. "V-very well! You seem to know what you're talking about. Hold on one moment..."
The man scurried off, but returned shortly thereafter, handing Kail a pokeball. "Thanks," the teen remarked, taking it and tucking it away. With that, he turned on his heel, gesturing for Oshawott to follow, and heading back out to the fresh-air town of New Bark.

The train ride over was, eventually, a quiet one. At first Apollo had tried to engage Tony in a conversation-- or well, several conversation: the man would try and start up one, only to have the other's complete and utter lack of interest kill it off slowly. But he tried and continued to try until he ran out of subjects and a few inner thoughts lulled him into silence. With the tips of his fingers he absently traced invisible figures into the case of his saxophone, his blue gaze confining itself to a random spot. The silence lingered still until an unfamiliar sound resounded, breaking the peace that had settled itself onto the car and the bright-haired man's light concentration. He tilted his head towards the sound, straining his ears in an attempt to try and identify it. When that didn't work he turned to Tony, prepared to get his opinion, only to stop when he noticed his wide-eyed expression; so at least one of them knew what it was.
What was to follow was a strange play of events that all started with the appearance of a Mareep, and unlike the one in Tony's lap-- or well, now the floor-- it didn't sport any odd colorings, the two did seem to share something: familiarization with the teen; though the wild Mareep held an aggressive nature towards Tony which it didn't bother to hide. Apollo watched, mystified, as the sheep gave chase to the retreating Tony and give him... quite a shock-- literally. A set of emotions rushed through the man as he watched his companion roll out of the train, crackling with electricity, and the first to arrive was amusement. He snorted in laughter and watched from his seat as the male got to his feet, and found himself snickering still when he stood up. Concern eventually set in and he waved for his two confused pokemon to follow him out of the train with the rest of the crowd exiting into New Bark Town.
His assistance wouldn't be needed, as it turned out, for when Apollo stepped into the town Tony was standing with his Mareep, who was busy catching its aggressive brethren. "Well isn't that just... shocking." he approached the other, letting a new set of laughter die down against clenched teeth bared into a wide grin. "That certainly gave me a jolt of surprise." perhaps he should've been less punny and more concerned about the electricity that had shot through Tony's body, but he seemed to still be alright; and besides, it'd been hilarious.
