After a long plane ride, Xanthia was not pleased to discover she would have to ride a boat as well.  Xanthia spent the entire trip on the boat chasing after her Anubis, who had elected to pick up her egg in his arms and start floating dangerously high off the ground.  After an hour, she'd finally managed to wrestle her egg back from Anubis.

She clenched the egg against her body protectively, watching Anubis as he floated behind her, cackling. As they walked, Anubis flickered in and out of existence, making faces at those who were unfortunate enough to pass by.  Before long, Anubis grew tired of just watching people walk by and he elected to act.  Lifting a fully grown man by the seat of his pants, Anubis dumped him in the trash bin, cackling gleefully to himself.  [color=fff200]"Anubis!"[/color] Xanthia shouted, adjusting her egg into one arm and reaching for the mischievous Pokemon.  Anubis simply cackled as he let Xanthia's hand pass through his face, before reaching for and successfully prying the egg from her hands. [color=fff200]"Damn it! Anubis!"[/color] She yelled, moving over to help the man out of the trash can.  [color=fff200]"I am so soo soooo sorry about him. My Gengar is kind of a handful.. and i-"[/color]

[color=00aeef]"You need to learn how to control that damned thing or release it into the wild."[/color] the man snarled, before turning and leaving her alone in the street.

Xanthia slumped her shoulders slightly as Anubis cackled behind her, sailing around with her egg as his prize.  [color=fff200]"I tried that.. and he came back."[/color] she murmured.  Then she whipped around, eyes narrowed at Anubis.  [color=fff200]"See what you went and did Anubis?"[/color] she hissed.  Anubis only shot her a mischievous smile, nuzzling the egg happily.  [color=fff200]"Forget you."[/color] she grunted, turning around and heading off towards the laboratory.  Breaking into a run, she managed to sprint into the laboratory right in the middle of what seemed to be the professor's introduction sequence.  Leaning on her legs as she caught her breath, Xanthia wandered over towards the other two trainers, taking care to stand between them.  Anubis floated the egg around her head three times while invisible before dropping the egg into Xanthia's arms and darting over somewhere else.  His body appeared directly in front of Professor Pine, inches away from his face.

[color=fff200]"Anubis, get back here!"[/color] Xanthia shouted, cradling the egg protectively.

However, Anubis wasn't about to listen to Xanthia any time soon, and remained where he was, a foolish grin spreading across his face as he cackled.

Xanthia groaned, bringing one hand up to hold her head.  [color=fff200]"Sorry about Anubis.. he just.. sort of does what he wants."[/color] she stated, exasperated.
