@fer1323 Weren't you also going to get a Shroomish?

Pokemon Spiral

@fer1323 Oooh, a surprise? Though if they're going to battle again, it should either be before Sophia gets a Staryu, or once Oscar has a Pokemon that's good against Water types. With his two Fire types, he'd be at a disadvantage.

Sophia examined the bite mark on her hand. Nothing too bad, but she hadn't imagined training Pokemon would be this difficult. How did people discipline Pokemon, anyway? Gothita, when she wasn't ruining Sophia's tricks, was fairly well-behaved, but it seemed like training this Purrloin would be a different matter.

She peered at the cloud-like Pokemon on Rheese's lap. "Hmm... I've got to admit, that's cute. Not as cute as Purrloin, though," she said. "So you're having the same issue?" At least the way the Cottonee was sitting calmly on his lap at the moment didn't necessarily mean he was the better trainer.

As Oscar entered the Pokecentre, Sophia's stomach clenched. Ok, so Rheese recognised her skill, but that wasn't enough. Oscar's dismissive attitude had chafed her, chafed badly. He was exactly the kind of person her family had been talking about when they'd warned about the general public's expectations. Some day, she'd show him her true potential. "Well, if it isn't the old sage," she grumbled. "Hmph... Looks like everyone's got their second Pokemon." She watched him playing with his new Growlithe, hoping she hadn't been the last to catch a Pokemon.

After finishing her water, which still only helped so much, she squinted up at the man with the Beldum. "Did you get another Pokemon too?"

Sum up your week in roleplaying in just 3 words

You have issues.

@AbysmalDemon Sorry, I posted before I saw your post. I edited a few times.

@Heckno12 Ok, I'm going to eat now anyway.

Sophia raised her head to see Rheese sit down next to her, and somebody else standing nearby. She accepted the water, sipped it and put it down. It didn't help much.

Rheese's compliment brought a surge of pride, yet it didn't quite make up for the blow to her confidence her mother had given her. "Oh, not really," she lied to Rheese. "It doesn't take all that much effort. I'll be ok. It's just jet lag." The last bit was partly true - travelling and lack of sleep hadn't helped, but using her power, especially while in that state, was more work than she let on. Maintaining a psychic link across a long distance had been particularly draining, and she doubted she'd have the energy to get her third Pokemon that day.

An unwanted memory surfaced.

...

"Look, Mom! I can do it!" The nine-year-old Sophia swayed where she stood, but managed to keep the four Pokeballs levitated in front of her. Four at once, and they were barely even wobbling. Surely her mother had to be proud this time?

The woman towering over her gave a small shake of her head, dark curls swishing around her shoulders, eyes narrowed in a steely glare. "Poor baby. You're getting tired, are you?" she cooed. Her voice, although soft, was devoid of warmth. "Oh, dear, dear. I thought I'd taught you about building up endurance."

Sophia sat down on the floor, head drooping, the Pokeballs falling. She'd thought she'd finally please her mother. Instead, she got sent to bed early for her efforts, and given extra work over the next few days. One day, she'd be good enough...

...

Pushing the memory away with a shiver, she let a groan escape. Rheese also had a Pokemon? Had he managed to catch one before she had? "What did you get?" she asked, her tone lacking enthusiasm. Maybe he'd just caught a Pidove or something, and called that an achievement.

A Chansey waddled over to her, handing her the Pokeballs she'd given to the nurse. Sophia looked back at Rheese. "Look what I found," she bragged, sending out her second Pokemon. The Purrloin appeared in front of her.

"Purrrr prr prr?" Stepping forward, the cat gave Sophia's hand a tentative sniff, then nuzzled it, closing her eyes. "Purrrrrrrr."

It was difficult to be in a bad mood in the presence of a cute Pokemon. A smile lit up Sophia's face as she stroked the Purrloin. "Well aren't you just the cutest little critter - Ow!" Without warning, Purrloin bit her and scampered to the other side of the room. Sighing, Sophia rubbed her hand and grabbed the Pokeball. "Purrloin, return." It seemed the Pokedex was right.

Crap, seeing as this is a recycled character, why didn't I just think to copy and paste the link to the photo? For other RPs, I might just have to try making another Photobucket account.

Emmaline (Emma) Blakeley

Name: Emmaline (Emma) Blakeley

Age and Sex: 23, female

Class: Tracker

Species: Witch - Earth elemental (specialises in animals)

Appearance:


Personality: A lively, curious young woman who loves to travel and learn. Like most witches, she's a nature lover, and her element means she's good with animals. Full of energy, she isn't one to sit still for too long and is always up for trying new activities. She's friendly and chatty, sometimes not realising when she's being a bit too full-on for someone's liking. Although a sociable person, she prefers her independence to being part of a coven.

History: Emma isn't what you'd call your typical witch. From a young age, she preferred to learn about the world from experience than through books, which displeased the rest of her coven. She'd just get herself into trouble, they said. Mostly potion-makers, they reluctantly watched her develop her nature magic, which they didn't fully understand, and specialise in animals. As soon as she was old enough, she left the coven who had tried to hold her back. She spent the next few years studying the animals of Erellon, until her skills and drive to learn caught the attention of the council.

Requested Items: Her chibit Maia, potion making kit, herbs, a notebook and writing implements

Pertinent skills: Elemental magic, some survival skills, basic potion making

Rosa Clare Academy - Cryptid Haven and School of Learning 2.0

@Kuramaaaz Yay another fire elemental! And he's the polar opposite of Lainie.

@Heckno12 Thanks.

@OtomostheCrazy Good to hear things are getting better. People are happy to wait here.

Pokemon Spiral

@LuckyBlackCat You certainly can, but it seems like most of our characters will be staying in Windshire the first night so it might be best to wait until the morning.

Also, I'm sure someone will get some amusement from Rheese getting half-suffocated by a Cottonee.

@Heckno12

I was thinking of getting the Staryu in Windshire by the sea, is that ok? And yeah, it won't be until the next day, Sophia's not really up to looking for more Pokemon right now.
