[u][b]Wonderlocke: Fit For A Queen, Part 2: A Lady's Best Friend[/b][/u] On the short path to Aquacorde, Felicity wondered if she really was willing to take on a mission from some stranger she had never met. He was a Professor, so he wasn't just an average pleb, but a lady like herself should never just give in so easily. However, it was a wondrous opportunity, one that she wasn't all that keen to give up. The cream-colored stones of Aquacorde Town came into view, and shortly after she entered, Felicity was called over to a table by Calem. Two new kids were there, a short boy with ginger hair like a helmet, and a rather large one with a Vanillite t-shirt and very short black hair. [i]And just when I thought those two were ridiculous enough...[/i] Felicity mentally groaned while looking at Calem and Shauna, both looking less than thrilled. Felicity did her usual strut over, taking a seat at the table. "Hey Trevor, Tierno...this is Felicity. No, wait, excuse me, [i]Lady[/i] Felicity..." Calem said, making air-quotes around 'Lady'. A heated glance from the young woman shut him up quite fast. The large one, Tierno, waved. "Hey, I'm Tierno! Pleased to meet you! My dream is to assemble the greatest Pokemon dance team ever!" He said with unbridled enthusiasm. A smirk etched itself onto Felicity's face. Then a chuckle bubbled up in her throat...before devolving into hysterical laughter. "You? A...d-dancer? That's...bahahahaha!" She nearly fell out of her seat, and Tierno frowned pretty deeply. Even shedding a tear. Trevor looked mortified, simply looking down at the ground and muttering, "I'm Trevor..." Felicity stopped mid-insulting laugh. She put a hand to her ear, "What was that, you pasty shut-in?" She asked, the insult sounding like a normal remark thanks to her faux superiority. Trevor just started to cry. No sad words, no frowns, just tears. Shauna looked to Felicity. "So, uh...nicknames are fun! What should we call you, Felicity? Lady F? F-kins? Freaking Jerk?..." Shauna mumbled the last part to Calem, causing him to smirk and roll his eyes. "You shall refer to me as your Queen. That shall serve as your childish "nickname". No other will do." Felicity stated matter-of-factly. Calem facetabled, Shauna buried her face in her hands, and Tierno just shook his head before placing a case on the table. Inside were three Poke-Balls. "For the love of God, take one, and this letter, and go." He said angrily, handing her a letter. Felicity smiled, clapping her hands together. She grabbed the middle one, and released the monster inside... "Am I finally getting adopted? Oh my God, finally! I-" The Fennekin turned abruptly to see the no-nonsense girl looking down at him. "You. Congratulations. You shall serve as my Court Wizard in the council I shall assemble on this journey. Are we clear?" Felicity instructed, not allowing room for debate. "That gypsy wasn't lying, I am cursed..." The newly deemed Court Wizard whimpered. "What was that, insolent fool?!" She yelled, picking him up by his scruff. "N-nothing, ma'am!" He squealed back. "Excellent! Let's be off then!" Her mood instantly changed, now cuddling the Fennekin. "Why?..." Wizard mumbled. Before leaving, Shauna stopped Felicity, a Chespin in her arms. "Wait, Fel-...my [i]Queen[/i]...I want you to be my first battle!" At the mention of the battle, the Grass-type in the girl's embrace went stiff, shaking his head minutely at Wizard. "Don't do it, man...we're old poker buddies, remember? All those drinks we shared?" He said shakily, before being placed on the ground. Wizard looked up at his new Trainer, whose smile seemed to be made of razor-sharp daggers. "Go on, my sweet...show no mercy." She said with a fierce, evil tone. The Fennekin was on the stones now, before looking to the Chespin. "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..." Wizard muttered, before shooting burning bits of fire from its mouth, setting the other starter ablaze, "WHY?! OH, FOR THE LOVE OF ARCEUS, WHY?!" was all it could say before fainting. "Li'l Chespin? Li'l Chespin! Wake up!" Shauna cried, shaking the unconscious Pokemon. "And the rest shall fall just as easily. Come now, my Wizard, off to see Mother again." Felicity picked up the Fox Pokemon, who had small tears in his eyes, as he looked to the body of his once friend. It would be a long journey... [hider=Rules, and other things] 1. Once a Pokemon faints, it is to be released or placed in a grave Box. It is dead. 2. Can only catch the first encounter on each route. Caught pokemon must then be Wondertraded. 3. If all Pokemon faint, it's game over, and the challenge ends. 4. After reaching the first badge and beyond with no deaths, I've decided to implement a No Healing Items clause. I cannot use healing items in battle. 5. if no Pokemon are available to use HMs, I can catch a HM slave, but they cannot be used in battle. Also, RPG may not be the place for this, but since I like you people, we're gonna roll with it ;D WISH FELICITY LUCK! Or not. I sure as hell wouldn't. Feel free to leave comments, (constructive) criticisms, etc... [/hider]
