Uhmm...Archie?

[Yuri]

[Woohoo! Thank you, Ame-Chan! You rock! Oh, and...What did you to Arach? o.o;]

Blink. Blink blink.

<"Where are we?..."> Gale asked looking around the route, sitting on Terra's shoulder as usual. Terra looked around and wandered where the spider that they had, have gone to. She checked her bag if he creeped inside it but it didn't seem like he did. After much searching, she decided that he must have fled from them in route one.

After walking a bit far off, she noticed the sign which said "Route 5 ". Terra's eyes widened and she fingered her eyebrows in confusion. "How did we get here?...C'mon, let's take a look around." she said in a stern voice as they started their way on to route five. One minute their in route, and the next, in route 5. Things can't get any wierder than this. Well, atleast she thought so.

[Nyaa-Neko]

((Wha'd I do? -_-;;; ))

A sort-of-large blue Pokemon wandered up to Terra, following her in a sneaky manner. Giggling to himself, he prepared to pounce...

Then he did, soared through the air (like, five centimeters above the ground), and landed in a crash behind her. "<Owwie...>" he groaned as he got back up. The phanpy then looked at Terra, and giggled again. "<Hahaha! The look on your face is so funny!>"

[Yuri]

Terra thought she saw stars spinning around her head. Gale quickly jumped forward in a defensive position. "<Hey You! You're not allowed to hurt Terra! Off! Get Off!>" he said, pushing the little pokemon of his trainer. After a second or so, Terra came back to her senses and stared at the Phanphy. "It's not nice to pounce on people, randomly!"

[Nyaa-Neko]

The phanpy pouted. "<But it's fuuuuun...>"

[Yuri]

Terra let out a small giggle. "Although...The only way, it's okay to pounce others is with a proper battle. Are you up for it?" she looked at the blue pokemoon with a wide smile. Gale was surprised by the quick change of reaction of his trainer and quickly asumed that he was the one who'll had to fight the Panphy.

[Nyaa-Neko]

The phanpy grinned. "<Yeah! Hahahah, battle, battle! Charge me when you're ready!>"

((Blergh. Mod post = bad. Sowwy. ))

[Yuri]

Terra nodded and scooted Gale of her shoulder. "Gale, use your Screech attack!" Tera said loudly and Gale at one, began to make a high pitched, ear-brusting noise. You could actually see the large white colroed sound waves coming towards the small blue pokemon. Gale was determined to win this battle, since he didn't want to loose his first match with Terra. He wanted to prove his trainer that he was worthy of her.

As soon as he began his Screech attack, Terra, taken back, lost her balance and tripped over. Which caused a pokeball from inside of her small black casual back to roll out and get knocked into a rock, making it press the release button and after a sudden burst, a blue-ish/white-ish bird pokemon had apperead before Terra. Terra's eyes widened as she immeditely recognized the pokemon from the shelter, where she lived and cared of pokemon with her grandmother.

"...Yoko!? What are you doing here!?"

[MorriganFearn]

((Well, I make Gothic Loli style clothing for cosplay and stuff, and Terra's outfit sounds more like someone who has seen people in Gothic Loli styles and wants to copycat them, rather than a true Gothic Loli wearer.

The shirt probably wouldn't have just the word "Princess" on it, and the glitteryness makes it sound like something you'd pick up at a mall rather than something you made for yourself, or got from a Gothic Lolita fashion company. And the mini-skirt -- no. Just no. She probably would be wearing a knee-length poofy skirt, as that's typical Gothic Lolita attire. Mini-skirts aren't often used in Gothic Loli fashions unless you're going for the Vamp/Skank look, which would mean that she'd probably be wearing fishnets instead of knee highs. And no sneakers. You could try Mary-Janes, which is far more normal. Or platform shoes. Also, you forgot the headband, hair-thingy (I hate 'em because they involve wearing the bobby pins of doom, but you gotta have it for real Gothic Loli).

But all this aside: Gothic Lolita fashions are probably the most impractical fashions for running around on a pokemon journey with. ^^))

The phanphy staggered back, disoriented with his ears ringing. That had bordered on the painful. He turmpeted a few times to clear his head and then grinned. <That was sure loud!> He rolled into a little ball, and proceeded to roll towards his new foe in a roll out attack.

((Blegh. Repetative sentencing...))

[Yuri]

[ !!! I didn't know there were that many rules about Lolita dresses. I'm going to research and stuff and try doing her attire again. The reason I made her way that is because I just learned about that style and I found it quite intresting .

I saw it from the the female main character of my current obsession, Death Note. And yeah, she was like, pretty cool. (Although, *very* different from her personality-wise, her appereance is almost the same.) XD]

The small Panphy had smashed it's small body to Gale who was slightly taken back. "Gale, try your...x-scissor attack!" Terra said rememberring the bug type attack that she had taught her Gligar. The gligar then did as his trainer ordered and preformed the attack.

[Err, sorry! I don't know how it goes since it's sinnoh-ish.]

[MorriganFearn]

((Not to worry. Look at the dresses that Freya/Dark Chi wears in "Chobits" and you can get a good idea of the "general" Gothic Loli style. Also, if you can find pictures of Victorian doll dresses that will help, since that's where the original ideas for Gothic Lolita came from. If you're really interested in it, try to get your hands on a Gothic Lolita Bible, but only if you're really interested. They're quite expensive ^^; I usually borrow my friend's when I'm stuck for ideas. But for Terra (trying to fit her personality) I'd suggest that you try a look closer to the "Lolita" end of Gothic Lolita. It's more sort of cute and pretty. I think the closest that she could go to the Gothic side of GL would be the "Punk" style, but that might be too hard core. I think she should stick to either "cute" or "old style" Gothic Loli, just because of her quiet nature. I actually did a sketch of Terra in "old style" which I think really works for her. Not too many colors, in a classic design. The bodice could have light pink embroidery on it, but I would stick with simple black and white. I'll PM it to you.))

The blue baby-ish pokemon was startled, and nearly terrified as the flyscorpion pokemon glided over to his rolling body and squished him with the giant claws. He rolled free after a second, spinning out in te dirt, and rolling around for a second pass at the gligar.

[Yuri]

[ Yaay! It's really cool. It must have taken you a *long* time to do it!]

Gale was hit again by the cheery Panphy. He had started to feel sore. "Use your slash attack, Gale!" Terra shouted from behind and at once, the gligar dove in and attempted to claw the baby pokemon.

[Nyaa-Neko]

((Blergh. Whaz goin on? @_@))

This direct hit was enough for the phanpy - he promptly fainted. Terra's Pokedex beeped cheerfully, indicating that her level 45 gligar had successfully defeated a level 47 wild phanpy. This gave him 2 levels, putting him also at level 47. And if the Sharp Fang was attached...he could evolve, if he so wanted to. ((I think. That's how that particular evolution works, right? -_-))

[Yuri]

[Yesh. XD Oh, and we were discussing Lolita outfits... =D Oh, and my mom is trying make me eat apple again. Ugggh...:@]

Terra jumped excitedly and walked over to Gale. She hugged him happily and tossed him a few berries. As Gale jumped into the thin air, he started to glow. The berries had went inside and at once, the wings shot out a bit more and Terra's eyes widened as Gale's body started to expand. When the glow finished, she saw her newly evolved Gale. Her Gligar had evolved to a Gliscor.

Gale, happy with his new appereance, happily flew in circles around Terra and she gave a small laugh in reply. She then told him that he needed to go to his pokeball since it was kind of troubling for a pokemon of that height to travel around. Dissapointed. Gale just shook his head in understanding and vanished inside the pokeball.

She then turned her attention to the fainted Panphy and threw an empty pokeball at it. She thought that the Panphy would a be a good team partner since it had the will to do so, even though the blue pokemon was small.

[Nyaa-Neko]

The Pokeball slapped the phanpy, closed around it, rocked a few times, then dinged shut.

Terra's Pokedex then beeped, indicating it had come up with the stats for her new team member. They were:

Phanpy
Gender: male
Level: 47
Group: 3
Nickname: you choose
Ability: Pick Up: has a 1/10 chance of finding an item after every battle
Attacks: Counter, Double Edge, Charm, Rollout
Personality: Pretty energetic, but also a bit mischevious. He's a prankster at heart, though a realatively kind one. He loves to battle and show his strength just as much as he likes to find new and creative ways to wake Terra up in the morning. All-in-all, he just wants to have fun and, like, throw water balloons with his trunk...or something.

((By the way, he can evolve the next time you level him up, if you would like him to. ^_^))

[Yuri]

[Thankoo! I'd like to evolve him in the next battle. But how do you rp the Counter Attack? It's quite useful. Oh, and I must quickly battle a bit and try to go of to the gym to battle Bahati, so I can catch up with Lee and his character and mine's can travel together!

What do you think?]

Terra happily cheered about her first catch and quickly went over and picked up the now occupied pokeball and released her new pokemon. After feeding it berries and naming him, she and Happy, her new Phanpy walked together in route 5.

"<Wheee! Travelling is so much fun!!!>"

"We're just a few feet away from where we were..."

[Nyaa-Neko]

((Just say he got mad, or something, and threw the power of the previous attack back at the attack as he slammed into them...or something...))

"<But you're also a few feet closer to where you're going,>" barked a newcomer. A fluffy growlithe pranced up, and gave the pair an inquisitive look. "<You're new around here, aren't you?>"

[Yuri]

"<NOOOOOHH! YOU THINK? HEHEHE, DUMMY!>" The blue panphy answered as soon as Terra opened her mouth to speak. Her mouth was left open for a while but she decided to close it and gave a small nod instead.

[Nyaa-Neko]

The growlithe gave a hmph at that - the phanpy dared to call her stupid? Well, she'd show him. So focused, and brought the heat levels around her up. Then she released them in a ferocious fireblast - Heat Wave. She hoped the elephant burned.

[Yuri]

Terra was taken back by the pokemon as Happy rolled all the way and smashed to a nearby rock. After a while, he uncurled himself and instead of showing anger or a taken back expression, the small Phanpy gave a small smirk. For a second, Terra thought that the smirk had gone bigger. Did he...Enjoy picking fights with pokemon?

Without waiting for an answer, the small Phanpy curled himself as a ball and rolled towards the Growlithe. Giving his roll out atack.

[Nyaa-Neko]

The growlithe was a little startled, and as the phanpy slammed into her, she wasn't even close to prepared to dodge. So she was thrown back, hit a rock, and fell to the ground, the wind knocked out of her. Needless to say, when she stood back up and sent out another Heat Wave, it wasn't as powerful as it was the previous turn.
