 A Peaceful Start...
« Thread Started on Oct 27, 2008, 7:32pm »

Darian's step was light and his face excited to be out and on the road at last. Even with the worry for Mark hanging over him, it was hard not to be thrilled to have started his journey at last! He had been talking about doing this ever since he was five and now it was finally happening.

Lightfoot was alert on his shoulder, surveying their surroundings with bright eyes and perky ears. Next to them trotted Mariel, a Ponyta whose mane and tail were blue instead of the usual red. Darian had found the little one abandoned by the side of the road, possible because of her unusual color which he found so lovely. Darian liked to let his Pokemon walk outside where possible.

Unlike much of the island, this route was an open field. Darian shaded his eyes and could just make out a few trees and possibly the next town on the horizon. If they hurried, they would reach it by dark, but he wanted to spend some time exploring first. He was interested to see what types of Pokemon he could find here, and possible even catch one.

The grass waved in the wind, and there came a distinct smell and sound... A shift in the air as something approached. Wide eyes hardly blinked as the creature approached. The grass split off to opposite sides as it weaved through the sea of yellow blades. There was a light that bounced off something shiny and soon, it burst out of hiding, teeth bared.
It was a cat Pokemon, pale tan fur cropped short. Its whiskers twitched uncertainly as it inspected Darian and his entourage. Warily, she sat down with white teeth still showing, daring him to get any closer. There was a fresh smell of blood on her fur, and it was easy enough to see that she was injured. Long claw marks, most likely from the native Sneasel Warriors, etched across the Meowth's body. She had been a higher level than even their leader, but there had been too many of them. The image of the dark blue, almost black females moving in on her in an attempt to take her coin haunted her. They usually only preyed on male Pokemon, but Meowths were prized among their ranks. So even a female could not escape their claws.
"...Are... are... are you... a trainer?" The cat asked, her voice wavering as she attempted to form the words. She was a talking Meowth - quite common on the island, as Team Noir had made sure to try perfecting that art. So far, the cats had been the most successful.
Quite frankly, she'd been through more than the average Pokemon should have to go through at still such a low level.
She seemed somewhat distant, her eyes a little foggy as she tried to focus on him and his two Pokemon, but she couldn't help from letting her eyes stray about. Something about her said she was somewhat... touchy. Humans were not her favorite creatures.

Darian started. For a moment he stared at the Meowth. He had never meet a Pokemon that could speak English before, but he had heard they existed. As he examined her more closely, his wariness dissolved into concern. She had clearly been in a fight, and had not faired well. Darian started forward and crouched with a welcoming hand out. "That's right," he told her with a friendly smile. "Are you alright? Do you need help?" Darian hoped she would accept his help, she didn't look like she would make it much farther.

Lightfoot was far more cautious than his trainer. His fur bristled and he stood erect from his guard post on Darian's shoulder. He was ready to pounce the Meowth the moment she made any hostile move. Marial shied away behind Darian, watching the Meowth from afar. She sincerely hoped the encounter would not turn to violence. She was torn as to whether she would flee or just stomp on the little cat.

The Meowth watched his every move, as if wondering when he was going to attack her. She narrowed her eyes as he made more moves, backing up silently. Why had she come here in the first place? There was nothing this human could do... for a moment, it seemed she was dazed and confused from lack of blood, and then scared as well. Why was he approaching again? He was too close. She was too close. Nothing made sense, so in her confusion she lashed out with a scratch attack at his hand, mouth open wide as she let out a faint, worried cry. She hadn't meant to attack the boy... but it had just been so scary... A gurgling sound came out of her mouth. "Ah... uh... stay away..." She backed up again and crouched in the grass, flattening her ears in defensive mode. He was a scientist, wasn't he? They always wanted to test on Shiny Pokemon. It wasn't her fault she had pretty purplish pink paws... And being slightly more tan than usual... She was prettier than the average meowth, and probably would have been a beauty if not for the scars all over her body. The Meowth glanced at the Eevee now, a pure worried look coming across her face. The Ponyta was also quite big... Even though they were both lower levels, it was only by one. The thought of the sneasels made her hiss in fear.
This was going out of control...

Darian yelped and reflexively pulled his hand away. Three thin, red lines raked his palm from the Meowth's claws. Lightfoot reacted immediated and leaped high from Darian's back towards his opponent. {No one hurts Darian!} he cried angrily. His arc was aimed directly for her head.

Darian grapped reflexively, yanking Lightfoot out of the air. Wincing at the pain this cause his wound, he tried to stay focused on the problem at hand. Lightfoot jerked free and landed in front of him, looking confused but still angry. "Don't hurt her," Darian told him firmly. "She's only frightened." {Fine.} Lightfoot agreed with reluctance. He change his tactic and swung forward in a Tail Whip. Maybe he could knock her off balance.

Marial pranced behind them, neighing worriedly. {Plese don't fight!} she cried emphatically. {Darian is a nice human!}

The Meowth flattened her ears tighter against her head as the tail whip took its toll. She closed her eyes for a moment, looking frightened and pained, then her eyelids shot up and her eyes glared at the eevee fiercely. Even the attempt at an attack had angered her and she shot forwards to scratch at the enemy Pokemon. She was still dazed and didn't quite understand what was happening, but as soon as she recognized an attack, she felt it was time to fight. After she used her attack, she hopped back to where she had originally been hiding, then paced off to the side, snarling in an attempt to look fierce despite her battered figure. Her pink paws were dirty and looked normal-colored through the mud that coated them.
"Humans... can't be nice..." She spat, casting a worried glance at Marial. The eevee, being territorial of his trainer, was her big concern, and she wasn't too excited to be in the area. But she couldn't run away, being hurt like this, so all she could do was fight. Her whiskers twitched as she stood there uncomfortably, so she couldn't help but pace back and forth in a defensive stance, awaiting the brown Pokemon's next move. Instantly expecting that there was going to be one.

Lightfoot jerked back in surprise. He hadn't expected the Meowth to be able to react so quickly being so injured. He tried to avoid her swipe, but he still felt pain on his chest where she had scratched him. Lightfoot was thoroughly riled now. He side stepped, following the Meowth's path. He was careful to keep himself between her and his master. He shifted readily, waiting for the command.

Darian hesitated. "I wish you would let help you," he said regretfully. He shook his head sadly. He couldn't just let her go in that condition, but if Lightfoot could weaken her enough for him to catch her, he could see to her injuries after. Squaring his shoulders with determination, he called to his Eevee. "Alright, Lightfoot. Tackle her, but be careful!"

Lightfoot did not need further urging. He jumped forward in a Tackle, aiming to pin her down despite her larger size.

The Meowth watched carefully, and then the Eevee made his move to attack. She crouched down, getting ready to dodge the attack when she felt her legs give and the feline collapsed. The cat's eyes widened in horror as the brown fox got closer and closer and then she felt the pain come through her as he knocked her over. She went rolling back a little, and then laid there, still for a moment. It gave the impression that she had fainted. But that was not the case yet, and she tried to get back to her feet, shaking the entire time. Just when the Meowth got on all fours, her legs gave again and she fell once more. This time it was too hard to get up, though she still had a teensy bit of health left. The Eevee pinned her down, and there wasn't much more that she could do.
"How... could I trust any of you?" She spat, her face in the dirt. "All my life you stupid humans have... taken control of me! Done tests!" The shiny Meowth turned her face a little more so that it was easier to yell at them. "And why would your little pets be any different?"
Her eyes were filled with venom as she glared at the Eevee.

Lightfoot glared back at the Meowth, though not nearly as fiercely as she did. {Darian is nice} he hissed passionately. {He would never do that to any of us! He wants to stop the stupid humans who hurt Pokemon!} He stayed squarely and stubbornly on top of her. She would not escape now and they would teach her manners. Marial poked her head from behind Darian and nodded fervently in agreement. {I escaped bad humans and Darian helped me. He'll help you too if you let him...} She spoke with nervously but with no less sincerity.

Darian watched the Meowth carefully as Lightfoot succeeded in holding her down. Though he still hadn't quite gotten used to a Pokemon that could speak, he listened to her rant as he would any human. Lightfoot seemed to be talking back to her already and even Marial threw in a few words. Her accusations worried him. He knew that such experiments took place, but he hadn't realized that some were even here on Evine Island. Knowing that, he couldn't just let the Meowth go, especially in her condition. Someone worse might catch her instead.

He squatted, placing himself as close as possibly to her level. "I'm sorry to here you've been treated that way and I don't blame you for not trusting me," he told her calmly. "But I can't let you go just to get picked up by one of those 'stupid humans' you talk about." He paused and rummaged in his bag for a Pokeball and a Potion. "I'll make you a deal," he said reasonably. "You let me treat you and if, after you're better, you still don't want to stay. I'll let you go." It was all he could think of to convince her. If she didn't agree, he was sure he could catch her anyway, but he would rather not use force if he didn't have to. Especially on a Pokemon that had clearly been hurt in the past, beyond just the visible wounds.

The Meowth laid still for a moment, thinking. His Eevee seemed quite honest; only an honest person could sound so angry when defending somebody truthfully. The human was giving her a good enough deal, and he sounded as if he actually cared. She decided that he was convincing enough to trust, for now. "...Fine. But... There will be blood if you go back on your promise." She quietly hissed. Hopefully this wasn't a mistake... If she had thrown herself back into the hands of a scientist, she would...
