[color=f26522]"Sorry, this bridge here is under the protection of The Red Hand. You won't be crossing, for free. The toll is 600 Pokedollars per trainer and 100 for each Pokemon. If you for some reason can't afford the toll, then it looks I'm gonna have to beat what you have out of you."[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"Ya know, y'all mouth stinks from all the Tauros patties ya spewin'. This is a public route is it not?"[/color] Yasha asked, his hands in his pockets. Mara's eyes widened, surprised at the violent and antagonizing tone. She hadn't expected it from him. In all honesty, she would have been perfectly content to pay the 700 pokedollar toll fee. She could afford it.

And she didn't really see the point in fighting the man--she knew know why people weren't coming into Dewmeadow. That was it. There wasn't a heroic bone in her body--but there also wasn't a nefarious one. 

[color=6ecff6]"Ya just another thug like Team Rocket aren't ya? Preyin' on the weak and gettin' fatter and fatter like a Magickarp too big for its pond. And ya know what? Just like'em, scum lika ya need to be put down. Lulu, Quick Attack!"[/color]

[color=#9900cc]"Yasha..."[/color] Mara murmured, throwing an uneasy glance over at Rowan. [color=#FFFACD]'Wait, Yasha! H-he might be too... powerful...'[/color] 

Nodding a bit, Mara bit her lip. The Red Hand crook had to have been effective, as no one had managed to beat him yet, and chase him off from the bridge. She looked down at the swirling waters bellow, imagining that the dancing shadows beneath the waves belonged to Cass, the merchant, and anyone else who would try to enter Dewmeadow.

Looking up, she saw Rowan send his purrloin to...[i]attack the criminal?[/i] 

Huh.

The strategy was... [i]fascinating[/i]. 

And clearly, from the man's previous tone, he wouldn't hold back either. He likely wouldn't stick to the rules, and would use his own pokemon against her. Just by looking at the odd crab like thing, Mara knew that she wouldn't want to touch it -- and neither would Kira.

[color=#9900cc]"Kira, use leer!"[/color] Mara directed, before adding, [color=#9900cc]"on the opposing pokemon, not the trainer!"[/color][hr][i]Location: Route A
