Soul&Dru 1X1 Pokemon: When Paths Intertwine

This guy sure has some nerve... she thought to herself as she caught the door he let close on her face on their way into the Pokemart. "Do you usually treat people you don't know so rudely?" Just then she got a strange chill down her spine and felt a warm breath on the nape of her neck. Her eyes widened and she turned slowly to see Jimmy standing a few inches away from her face with his usual eerie smile.

"Hello Skye." He said in a smooth, monotone voice. "I haven't seen you in a while, I've been by your house but your mother always insists you're not at home, though I can see Nova Blitz up on your balcony. Is something wrong?" Skye had a disturbed look on her face as she tried to think of a nice way to get out of this awkward conversation. Jimmy was an unusual guy, to say the least. He had a bit of an obsession with Skye and in the past few months he was bridging on stalker. She always thought there was something a little... off about the man; she had overheard her mother talking to her friends about Jimmy's mother doing all sorts of unhealthy things during her pregnancy and that her activities were to blame for Jimmy's unusual personality. She sure didn't know what went wrong and when but something certainly had that led the scrawny, dark haired boy to be so... abnormal.

"Uhh, no. I uh." Before she could say anymore he quickly dashed behind the counter and lifted up a box of miscellaneous goods from the store.

"Well, I saw you coming with your, er, friend with the look of death over there." He gestured towards Ren. "And I took the pleasure of collecting some items I think you might like." Rummaging in the box he pulled out different items as he spoke. "I have a pokedoll, top quality: you like pokedolls don't you? I remember when we were children you used to bring one just like this to school everyday. Of course it took me years to find a replica of the one you used to have, we only carry the latest models of course. But after some searching I found it!" Skye paled; she remembered he used to watch her play with the doll and eventually got rid of it, hoping he would look elsewhere for a person to observe in play. "And I have some pecha berry tarts, I was passing by your house a few months ago and saw you taking out your trash, an empty boxes of these fell out so of course I assumed you liked them. Anyone would." With each item he pulled out she slowly back away, a bothered look on her face.

"Uhhhhh, say, that's all really nice of you and all but uh, I just need a few pokeballs, some full heals and a dozen potions. Nothing else." At her feet, Korra's fur stood on end, she didn't much like the creepiness emanating of the shopkeep either.

"What? You don't want all these beautiful things I've collected for you? I've been keeping them here for years, waiting for a good time to give them to you. And now that you're leaving on your journey through Kanto I won't get to see you every day."

"E-every day...?" She backed up further until she bumped into Ren. Quickly she took a place at his side, creating some idea that he would protect her from the weird fellow before her.

Skye caught her herself moments before her jaw dropped. "dunce"? "Weaklings?" She couldn't believe what she was hearing; the nerve of this man was ludicrous to say the least. Though Skye was a kind person and much of a pacifist by nature she simply could not handle a trainer disrespecting his own pokemon when it so clearly was a capable companion. "I beg your pardon? Do you always insult your pokemon so much? Or is that just something you do to complete strangers and their companions? I don't think this beautiful pidgeotto is much of a dunce at all from what I've seen, and I have no doubt in my mind that its not weak. It's well built and in peak condition, so if there's a reason at all for it to be weak it would be no one's fault but its trainers."

She scooped up eevee and looked Ren in the eye. For such a handsome man he sure was.... off. But nonetheless, she wasn't about to let him just walk away after such words. "Fancy that, I'm heading to the Pokemart too so perhaps I'll join you and our "weak" pokemon can spend a little more time enjoying each other's company." She turned to start making her way towards the building. "So, what are you collecting supplies for? The voyage home?" Here she was assuming he wasn't from around here; she would certainly have known who he was, had he been. "Or a journey through Kanto? Vacation maybe?"

Soul&Dru 1X1 Pokemon: When Paths Intertwine

After a short while her destination came into view at the end of the street. She hoped Jimmy, one of the store keeps who had developed an unusual obsession with her, wasn't working; she just wanted to get in, get what she needed and get out of the city at long last. As she proceeded down the street, struggling to keep wisps of her long hair out of her face in the gentle breeze she was stopped in her tracks by a chatty pidgeotto. The bird pokemon hovered before her, a blissful look painted onto its face. "Oh! Well hello there friend." The pokemon lowered itself to the ground to greet Korra and was quickly taken on by an excited eevee prancing about in a social dance around the feathered stranger. "Well isn't that something?" She mused at the friendly exchange between the two.

Skye knelt down to get a closer look at the surprise visitor; its plumage was clean and took on a silky look, leading her to believe it wasn't a wild pokemon. Furthermore, it's beak was well shaped, its trademark mane of plumes was very long and thick, and its talons were sharp as could be. The pokemon seemed to be well sized and toned; this pidgeotto was certainly well bred. She smiled in appreciation, sure now more than ever that this pokemon had a trainer. But as she looked around she didn't see an immediate possibility of its trainer. She thought perhaps it had gotten lost? It may very well have belonged to one of the many tourists in the area and it wasn't hard to lose track of a person on the days the ferry drifted to the docks.

"Pidgeotto" she said, prying the bird's attention away from Korra's enthusiastic interactions. "You're not from around here are you? You have a trainer. Is that right?" The pokemon cooed in confirmation and hopped about happily, motioning to a blonde man a little ways away. "Ah, is that your trainer there? He doesn't look very happy..." Standing up, she turned to greet the approaching stranger, twisting a strand of her hair in slight nervousness as she realized the man was surprisingly attractive. "Uhm, hey there. Is this your pidgeotto? It seems to have found a friend." She motioned down to the cheery little eevee now sitting at her side, brown eyes trained on the new comer. "This is Korra, and I'm Skye. Your pokemon is quite beautiful, I'd be willing to bet it has an impressive pedigree behind it."

Thank god it's been fixed already! I'm from canada, southern Alberta to be specific. And we have a lot of water problems here all the time from the river being flooded or ice melting too quickly. E. coli out breaks. All that jazz, luckily they got it handled though :) I'll try to get up a post tonight if not tomorrow morning :)
