Pokemon: The Shadow of Nemesis

- Peggy Atkinson -

"...Why do I have the feeling you are not telling the whole story?" Blake responded to Peggy.

Note to self, Peggy: work on your poker face.

Just as Peggy was about to open her mouth to say something, Blake went after the rest of the group, leaving Peggy just standing there, uncertain as of what to do. Should she go after him and help? Should she just wait here patiently for them all to come back?

"What am I supposed to do?" Peggy muttered under her breath in frustration. After a second, she was about to take a step after Blake until he returned, with Melody, Abigail, Ryley and Avery following close behind.

Peggy gave a loud sigh of relief, but also of frustration. What the heck had taken them so long?

Abigail and Melody started speaking, though they were talking most about hair, which made Peggy frown, and she wasn't sure whether she should consider her traveling companions as badasses who weren't phased by anything, or morons who seriously needed to get their priorities straight.

After sorting out her hair slightly, Abigail then addressed the whole group.

"So, where did we decide we were going? I still think Blackthorn would be best," she said.

Under normal circumstances, Peggy would have just gone along with this - she had planned to before Abigail had gone running off - but now, after seeing Abigail scream loudly beforehand when that Spinarak had attacked, she suddenly felt the need to speak up, voice her own opinion about this matter.

"I-I don't-" Peggy started, only to be interrupted by Avery.

“Elm said Blackthorn, right? He always gives some good advice. I say we follow it,” he said.

Peggy's frown deepened. Huh? Hadn't Elm said Cherrygrove? She'd remember something like that, right? "But, I thought-" Peggy started again, only for another interruption to appear in the form of a boy. It took Peggy a moment to recognise him as she's only seen him briefly and hadn't spoken to him at all. He was one of the trainers who had started along with them, but it had looked like he wouldn't be going with them. Apparently, she'd been wrong.

"Whoa, I leave for a while and when I come back all hell has broken loose. What happened?" the boy, Jackson, said.

"I... we..." Peggy started again, but found she couldn't finish her sentence, though she wanted to answer the boy's question. It was then she noticed the tiny, beady eyes staring down from the trees and felt a lump form in her throat. Suddenly slightly panicked, she spoke up, "I-I think we should go to Cherrygrove!"

... wait? Did she actually say that?

"I-I m-mean, err, that it's closer a-and our Pokemon are p-probably tired already s-so we should go there," Peggy stammered, forcing herself to continue speaking. "A-and I have f-f-family there, so t-they p-probably w-w-want to know I'm o-okay..." Her voice started to trail off. "So... I think we should..." She became quiet, turning her gaze down to her feet.

The nurse carried him off to the Infirmary. Graham made a mental note to visit the guy. The little dude was his friend, whether Cheol liked it or not. He had been labeled as such, so shall it be. Besides, they were brothers in short. If one were to stack on another’s shoulders, perhaps they could blend in the the Talls, to live amongst them, to see how the other side do.

@Ogobrogo

Awwww, that's both funny AND adorable. ^^ I actually went 'Awwww' out loud. Good thing my dad had already gone to bed, or he would be giving me strange looks XD

Herculean Academy, The Top School for Aspiring Superheroes: Prologue

Yeah, and watch Dorian be completely baffled about how to respond to any kind of affection. Or gratitude.

I miss Fabricant and Brett :(

Well, conflict will come as the plot moves, right~? And I'm sure SOMEONE is going to get into a fight with someone else. Paulo apparently holds really intense grudges, Alexis is… Alexis, Kitty's sure to offend someone somehow with her total obliviousness, so on and so forth~

@Nightmare Bunny

And of course, when Cheol puts on the mask and becomes Yuugure, I bet at least one character is going to end up hating him. Yuugure himself is a bit of a jerk.

Herculean Academy, The Top School for Aspiring Superheroes: Prologue

He really is! Trying to act all tough… and then he makes hot chocolate for a twitchy thirteen year old boy. You bet there's gonna be marshmallows in that hot chocolate, too.

It might actually be surprisingly peaceful… but if Brett was still a character in this, you bet there'd be chaos.

And I kept forgetting that too! Especially towards the beginning. I thought he was, like, Kitty and Graham's age at first. Maybe he's just wise beyond his years? XD

@Nightmare Bunny

Awwww ^^ Now I can imagine Cheol becoming quite fond of the grumpy nurse.

Yeah. I'm kind of sad that Fabricant has disappeared. Brett was a pretty interesting character, especially considering the fact that other than her and possibly the Yandere-esq Olivia, all the other kids seem to be getting on reasonably well with one another.

Yeah, I often imagine Cheol to be a 'wise beyond his years' kid. This is helped, of course, by the fact that while he's been quiet and generally a polite kid, the older kids have:
- Started fights with one another (Brett & Alexis)
- Threatened to eat their classmates (Sam)
- Gone Yandere (Olivia)
- In the process of playing match-maker (Graham & Kitty)

Pokemon: The Shadow of Nemesis

Avery is always with you. ALWAYS.

@Ogobrogo

I don't know if you were trying to sound creepy or not there but all I could think of was this:

Herculean Academy, The Top School for Aspiring Superheroes: Prologue

Awww, Dorian is a sensitive soul, ain't he?

Also, Dorian's absolutely right about how stupid Nina's idea is XD I mean, yes, Nina, I know you want to make the kids feel like adults, but... well, they're not XD

Also, I keep on having to remind myself that Cheol is thirteen and one of the youngest of all the kid characters.

Pokemon: The Shadow of Nemesis

I'll wait for Ogo to write his post before I finish up the one he started. That way, I won't have Peggy just standing there going "Oh, you guys are back... wait, where's Avery?"

Pokemon: The Shadow of Nemesis

Hah, yeah, I have Omega Ruby and I still play it xP
Mostly trying to complete the Hoenn Dex right now....

I have never once filled up any pokedex. Which Is kinda surprising, considering I've played all the games.

@Rune_Alchemist

I've never filled any of the Pokedexes either, though then again, I'm never one for 100% completion in video games. I'm crap at games so I'm pretty happy if I'm even able to finish one.

You can't find Lotad on Ruby?

That and I've never really liked the pokemon that much xD

@Rune_Alchemist

Perhaps the only reason I've ever wanted Pokemon Ruby over Sapphire is because, as awesome as Ludicolo is, I slightly prefer Seedot over Lotad. I want a Shiftry XD And I pretty much love any Dark-type Pokemon that exists.

Pokemon: The Shadow of Nemesis

Well, I was going to stay awake and wait for my mum to come home, but I think I'll head to bed. Though I'll probably stay up playing Pokemon Alpha Sapphire instead of actually sleeping. Curse you, addictive Hoenn remake! D8<

Pokemon: The Shadow of Nemesis

Well, I've been busy trying to get up the motivation for my HA post, but now that it's up, I can definitely work on a post for Peggy.
