Anna stared at the wooper.. <Wha, no I'm not asking you on a date! Thanks for calling me cute though....> She was shocked by what Mattie had said. No-one, not one single living organism, had called her 'cute. <Stop messing with me!!!> She growled, blushing.
"Please, Mattie.. Come with us!" She took out a pokeball, made it bigger and put it on the floor in offering to Mattie.

<Round!> the blue amphibian exclaimed.
He jumped on the ball, and balanced on it for a few seconds, before it rolled out from underneath him. Mattie fell on his tail, and then bounded up again, grinning, his long antenae waving. He walked over to the pokeball and this time inspected it, before leaning in, and knocking his forhead against the capture button. There was barely a wriggle, as he was transformed into energy, and sucked into the sphere. It rocked, and binged, almost in the same instant.
Stats (for teh copying and pasting of DOOOOM!):
Wooper Name: Mattie Gender: Male Level: 7 Attacks: Water Gun, Tail Whip, Mud Sport Special Ability: Damp - prevents explosions and self destructs. Personality: Cheery and helpful, Mattie loves every one. He can be a little silly at times, because he tries to lighten any mood. He gets depressed by hateful attitudes, but tries to keep it together. He likes Anna a lot and thinks that she's very cute -- he just wishes that she'd see that about herself.

Sophie shrieked happily, screaming. "I've caught a wooper!!! Wooper rock!" She put the pokeball on her belt, letting him rest and sighed. She picked up Anna and said, "Looks like you've got a fan!" She put the ugly nidoran on her shoulder, scratching her behind the ear before continuing through the fog.

They had not been walking long, when a wingull shrieked overhead. She came in at an angle, buzzing Sophie's head, and nearly knocking Anna off her perch. It had been sudden, no one had been hurt, and the wingull had veered away, but then the white and blue feathered mass came back through the wet fog, heading straight for Anna.

Sophie blinked, watching the cloud of white feathers swoop down past her. Despite this, she didn't scream or flinch, she just continued on walking. But when she noticed the bird flying towards the nidoran, she tried to grab her and protect her. But it was too late. Within an instance, Anna was on her back, struggling to get up, lying on the floor. <Why you little...!> She hissed violently, finally getting to her paws and looking about, trying to see the wingull.

The wingull had swerved around, and was heading for Sophie again. He was getting a real kick out of this. When you flew at people they jumped and flinched, and did funny things. It amused him to no end. He wasn't quite attacking Anna -- the nido ran wasn't exactly good to eat, but he hopped to put a fright in the smaller pokemon because it would be a great laugh.

Sophie screamed, diving down to the floor. She crouched into a ball and put her hands over her head in terror, trembling.
Anna glowered at the wingull and jumped off her trainer's back. She looked from the wingull to Sophie, and back again, wondering whether or not she should attack the bird pokemon or let him scare Sophie. Afterall, she had been mean to her own starter! Anna decided she was going, not to help out her trainer but just for the sheer thrill of battling. She turned furiously to the wingull and charged towards him, aiming to tackle him. My owner's such a wimp!

The wingull had not yet pulled up. Skimming along the tanbark was not easy, but there was no easy thermal to rise on until he fell off the cliff, so he was heading in that direction when Anna caught up, and slammed into his back. The wingull squawked, and rose in a rush, his back sore and hurting. He swung around to glare at Anna, and strafed to the right on a wind current before wheeling again, and firing a supersonic at her.

Anna snuffed in a sort of happy way, smirking a strange, ugly smile. The glare only made her more pleased, relishing in how much it must of hurt. She backed up just so she couldn't fall off the clifff.... Though it was a slightly tempting thought. Snarling, she leapt out of the way of the Supersonic but it was rather a hopeless jump, more of a limp. So she was struck by the Supersonic and suddenly everything around her was confusing and nothing made sense...
Sophie looked up wearily, looking around cautiously. The girl noticed the fighting and slowly got up, making sure nothing was swooping at her... She noticed the seagull pokemon and hoped it wouldn't fly at her again...

The wingull squawked triumphantly, watching the nidoran limp around like the ground-pounder she was. He flapped his long wings impatiently, trying to get some more height. But a wingull's wings were made for sailing on the wind currents, not hovering. He slipped to the side in a trough of air, and gave up. Pulling his wings sharply back, the wingull zoomed down towards Anna quickly, intending to peck her.

Anna looked up, watching the wingull try to hover before slipping to the side. She then started to run away, in fleeing mode as she tried to avoid the next attack. Suddenly, she span around and the leapt up, trying to counter the peck with scratch. <Stupid gull!> She screeched as she lunged.
Sophie watched, intrigued with dancing eyes. She felt a bit unsure what to say. If she shouted attacks, Anna would ignore her - probably - but if she just let it go on... Was the deformed nidoran waiting for attacks, just defending herself while waiting for a command. She then called out, unsure, "Urr... use growl?"

((Just warning you, you didn't write out that peck hitting Anna. Next time Anna manages to go a round miraculously unscathed it'll be a critical hit that gets her. However, the scratch was the right move ^^))
Sophie didn't need to call out the attack. Anna's scratch had skittered along the wingull's beak, and caught the beady eye. Star and bubbles of light burst into the wingull's vision from the pain. It shrieked loudly, cutting through Sophie's attempts at a command. It slid along an air current. His eye was watering, and the small explosions in his skull from the sudden pain of having short claws rake at a very sensitive bit of his anatomy shut down the windgull's ability to think, and he fell away, down the cliff, his broad wings only floating him out closer to the sea when lucky gusts of air plucked at him.
((Anna has defeated a level 6 wingull She gains 1 1/2 levels Anna is now level 6 1/2
Would you like to Time Warp? Just say for how long, and if you want to write your own skip post, or you would prefer the mods took care of that.
If you have no clue what I'm talking about, here's the info: Because leveling is slow no matter what you do, there is now a new feature accessible in all training areas in the main regions. The time warp! After defeating an enemy, you have the option to advance the number of days you spend in a route or area from one day ahead to three weeks into the future.
You can either make the skip post, or the mod can. If you do, just remember to detail in a general way what happened to your character, and which pokemon you trained.
For each day that passes in the time warp your pokemon will be automatically raised one level. If your pokemon will evolve on the next level, though, and you're still in the middle of the time warp, be warned that the time warp will stop prematurely. You will have to battle to level up and evolve your pokemon before you can time warp again. If you have an egg that will hatch within a time warp period the time warp will stop on the morning of the day it will hatch, and you have to take it from there.
So, wanna do the Time Warp?))

((Oh, I'm sorry. I thought she'd been hit... xP Meh.. *hits self*. And no. She didn't go unscathed; she just got hit by... Supersonic oh sugar-glider. Really sorry, that battle was rather a mess XD. I'll smooth it out more next time DX. It's been awhile... Anyway: ))
Anna huffed triumphantly. <Stupid bird.>. She stamped her foot, watching as her attacks took toll on the bird. Anna turned around, walking towards her owner but not looking at her after seeing the wingull fall off the cliff, out cold. Sophie picked her up and hugged her, even though she acted like a statue and wriggled about as soon as it was over, so the girl set her starter down.
"Come on, let's go." She said, in a sort of cheesy fashion before walking through the thick fog, coughing as she tried to make her way through it. A little scared she was going to trip and fall or get lost, Sophie chose not to run but to walk very cautiously. This was going to be a loonnnggg walk.
(( Urr, I'll take the time Warp <D Go ahead 3 days; I'll write it. ))
It'd been three days since she'd found this place. Peering out, Sophie looked out at the place. Still typically foggy, she thought, sighing. The girl could only just make out a few pokemon sillhouettes, and they didn't seem to notice her.
"I really wonder why I'm still here. I should leave soon before me or my pokemon fall off a cliff." The girl muttered, dropping back into her tent. She span around, her back to the zipped-up entrance. Hugging her knees, she looked around the small polyester tent and noticed Anna curled up sleeping on her blue sleeping bag. She could't help it when she let out a small, smile. Her back was faced the Sophie, and the girl just gave thought that she was sleeping.
Nestled in the corner was her backpack with all her essentials and pokeballs in there, each with a sticker on (different for each pokeball) so she could tell they were hers and which pokemon was in which pokeball. Infront of it was a tiny black and white, simple clock. It wasn't a digital one, which read, five past ten. In the morning.
Over the past week, she had trained and played around with her pokemon. Anna still seemed to hate her and hadn't really warmed up on her at all. Well, she didn't show it... Sophie sighed at the memory of it all.
Because she didn't seem to like her Trainer, Anna didn't listen much. Which meant not a lot of training. Any flower which was deemed pretty, even if it was hard to make out through the thick fog, Anna would stamp out in the most violent manner until it was decintergrated. Sophie often noticed how she glowered at pretty pokemon through the hazey fog and on the look out for wingulls. She lashed out at any pokemon venturing near, causing a number to run away. A few others she'd gotten into small tussels with. But Sophie still tried to get over her sickly appearance, sometimes wondering how she even got that deformed face.
Sophie had travelled a great deal of the way over the past week, enjoying it but detested the thick fog. It made her feel blind. Not once had she come across another trainer, which made her feel very lonely. It made her feel like she was the only human left. Which just felt strange at the same time as lonely. During the week, managing to level up her pokemon by one level each (which was sometimes hard with anna!) she met a variety of pokemon and passed a few tiny stalls on the side of the path. But she would always ignore them, not too sure how much she had on her. (I need to find out XD)
Mattie, on the other hand, had been an angel. he always tagged along Anna, a smile permanently drawn onto his face. She didn't think she'd seen him yet without a smile on his face. Sophie tried training him a few times, getting him to fight other pokemon for experience. He'd fought well, and seemed to enjoy it all.
It wasn't too hard. For the moment, she had only two pokemon and two eggs. The two eggs had been discovered at different times but one of them seemed closer to harching than the other. They looked completely different to each other as well.
The two eggs were nestled and wrapped up in one of her typical white jumpers, bunched together. One of them was wriggling around more and more everyday, while the other just seemed dead. It was warm so it couldn't be but...Sophie crawled over, hugging the warmer, more twitchy of the two eggs. She rubbed her hand over it gently, trying to warm it up before placing it back and repeating what she'd just done with the other egg, only a little more firm and rubbed more of the egg. She then put it back and manouvered over to her backpack. She picked up Mattie's pokeball and let him out. He let out a humming sound jumping up and down happily as the energy transformed into a wooper. He looked around and then at his smiling owner.
"Morning Matts." She whispered, rubbing her eyes. She'd been up for about half an hour. "Anna is still asleep." She nodded towards the sleeping nidoran, who suddenly stirred a bit. Mattie blinked before walking over and sitting by the nidoran. He didn't disturb her, just stared, a smile still planted on his face. No, it was more of a grin.
Sophie then settled down, cross-legged, on the floor as she got out her iPod and started listening to some music, too lazy to go outside and start training.

((It's been a long time for all of us ^^ but here's the time warp level gains for everyone (adjusted for the 3 days that you got warped because of the mystery egg give away):
Anna: + 3 levels = Level 9 1/2 -- She learned Tail Whip and Double Kick ^^
Mattie: +3 levels = Level 10 -- He learned Mud Shot ^^
Mystery Egg 1: - 3 days = 2 weeks and 4 days until hatching -- This cool, speckled brown egg has fared well under Sophie's care, and it moves happily when hugged, but the shell still seems too thick for hatching, and no matter what is done, the egg still is cold to the touch.
Mystery Egg 2: - 3 days = 1 week 4 days until hatching -- Much warmer now, and it does thump around sometimes, but not very often. This egg needs more time to mature. The pink spots are darkening to a more golden hue to match the bronze and orange.
Mystery Egg 3: - 3 days = It'll hatch today! ;D
~ ~ ~
In the large jar that Sophie had found as she chased after Anna who had caught her reflection in the glass, and saved from being smashed, the fist-sized egg bobbed. It was still in the tent, hiding behind the clock, as that was the corner of the tent least exposed to the wind, and therefore it was fairly warm, and not likely to cause Anna too much aggravation.
The egg continued to bob, the gelatinous casing unraveling along the dark lines, until the pale blue gray material fell to the bottom of the jar. A small dark blue ball was left, which continued to bob up and down for a few seconds, until a long, flat, pale blue tail unfurled. The ball sprouted tiny legs, and opened huge eyes. The belly of this small pokemon was white with a single black swirl, and soon the small poliwag was swimming around the jar, butting against the sides. It set the jar to rocking, and finally the jar fell over with a loud thump!

((Yes XD I knew it'd be a poliwag <3 Got it right! Politoed here I come xP))
Busy listening to music, she couldn't hear anything beside the drumming of the music. She was shaking her head, singing quietly along to the lyrics. Sophie didn't have her eyes shut, just looking around. Mainly on Anna and the ever-so happy Mattie. He was doing a dance even though Anna was asleep. Casting her eyes around the room, thinking, imagining, her eyes caught the glimpse of the egg that hid in the corner, she'd forgotten about. It was in a glass container, white and stripey. Her eyes widened as she noticed the huge crack being drawn down it. Getting the ear-phones out of her ears and pausing her iPod, Sophie crawled over - even though, in this tiny blue tent, she didn't have far to go - and naturally picked it up. She wanted to tip it to the side but the fear of breaking the egg like she'd almost done before when she found it stopped her. Instead, she tapped the glass, staying silent.
Sophie almost dropped it in shock when she saw the two little legs pop out of it as it hatched, letting out a little shriek. Didn't stop Mattie from dancing for Anna though. She let out a gasp as it's eyes opened and then it became an actual poliwag! She put it down as it tried shaking the container and it was knocked over. As soon as the poliwag got out, she scooped the container back up before any water could spill. Then she turned to the poliwag, sitting onto her knees and smiling at it. The poliwag seemed to stare at her.
Suddenly, the words she'd been told ages ago by her foster mum came to mind, A bond will be stronger and you will be thought of as the mum/dad if you are first to greet a newly hatched pokemon. A grin broke through her poker face and she felt pleased. Hopefully, a stronger bond! Then a whisper she couldn't resist broke out into the seemingly, temporarily silent air, "Hey there.... Urm.... Welcome to the world?" She was a bit unsure of what to say; this had never happened before. But she felt an overwhelmingly sense of pride, accomplishment and down-right pleasure and love. Like a mother supposedly feels when she first sees her baby. And that she'd been right! After a day of finding it, she had come to the conclusion that it must of been a poliwag egg and here she was, a newly-hated poliwag! She resisted the urge of getting up and dancing round the tiny tent, or just moving in a dance like fashion while sitting there, singing quietly, "I got it right! Oh yeah, uh-huh my thoughts were corr-ect!" But she just sat there, smiling down at it.

The poliwag looked up at her, young and slightly confused. But then he seemed to figure out what was going on as the looming figure talked at him. He hopped to one knee and slapped it happily with his tail. "Poli?" he looked up at her with bright eyes. Of course he really wanted to ask if his mother was going to feed him now. "Poli poli?" the big eyes looked around again, and confusion settled on his features. Where ere the others? Shouldn't there be a lot more brothers and sisters? Instinct was telling him that there should be a lot of family here, not just Mommy.
Name: ? ? ? Gender: Male Level: 1 Moves: Water Sport Ability: Water Absorb - Recovers health when hit by water attacks Personality: He's young yet, so nothing is set. As a young poliwag, he'll probably feel most comfortable in a big crowd of "brothers and sisters" or some sort of sibling equivalent. He's smaller that the average poliwag right now (slightly smaller than Sophie's closed fist), but he'll grow bigger as he levels up.
((You now have control over this character. Note, he doesn't have a pokeball, You might want to remedy this, or not -- depending on whether you think he'll run away a lot.))

((You now have control over this character. Note, he doesn't have a pokeball, You might want to remedy this, or not -- depending on whether you think he'll run away a lot.)) Sophie was shocked at how small the poliwag was. She hadn't expected him to be that tiny. The girl had seen older poliwags, but never a newly-hatched one. But still, he was her little baby and now she had to be extra careful not to squish him.
She inched over to the bag and picked up a pokeball with a purple sticker; it had yet to be used. Making it bigger, she rotated to face the scared-looking poliwag and whispered, "Sweetheart, I want to keep you and prevent you from running away and being caught by some other trainer so..." She pressed the button on the pokeball, drawing it in.
"I'm calling you.... Niaye (Nigh-aye)." She said as he blinked at her. Although the tent was small for the others, to Nia, it was like a mountain. He stared
"Poli?" He said, turning into the light. There was barely any movement as the red light faded, showing it had been caught. Sophie, wishing to bond with it more, let it back out and picked him up gently. Grinning, she itched his head gently, muttering his name.
At that instant, Anna jolted awake. <Hun-rah?!> She snorted, making Mattie jump and Niaye squeal. She looked over, showing her hideous face and snarled. Seeing this, the poliwag leapt off his owner and ran behind her, cowering. Where were his brothers and sisters? Why was he instead met by a scary-looking nidoran and very perky wooper?
Anna scowled. Great, yet another beautiful, perfect creature born into this world to mock her. She turned away grudgingly and heard the tut of Sophie.
"He's scared. And just hatched. Why must you be like that? Look, he's only small..." She then gently nudged him infront of her, which Anna turned around to stare at. She continued scowling before huffing and turning around, staring at the corner. It gave Sophie a bit of deja vu, like she'd felt when she had naively chosen Anna at the pokemon lab...
Nia shuddered, close to crying as he met the furious gaze of the nidoran. Why was he hated so much? What had done? His eyes darted around, quivering before hopping onto his new mommy's lap. Backing into her stomach, he sat down and closed his eyes, pretending he was with his brothers and sisters... playing.
Next thing he knew, as he opened his eyes, a slightly creepy face of the wooper Mattie appeared infront of him. +'Ello!+ He grinned. +The name's Mattie and it's nice to meet ya!+ This didn't help. Spinning around, he cowered into Sophie, squeaking. Sophie sighed, pushing Mattie gently away who gave a disappointed look. He turned back to Anna and waddled over, even though her sour attitude depressed him he was determined to see her at least once smile. ((*yawn* I'd do better but... eh. I'm tired and can't be bothered to save it in word and continue it tomorrow :/))

((For a moment I read "I'm tired and can't be bothered to save the world and continue tomorrow" ;D))
Over the path the calls of wingull began to echo as the brids woke and began to hunt, flying over the cliff and skimming over the thermals with the sun.

Emma sighed, listening to the sound of cawing wingulls. "Come on guys... we can't stay in here forever," She started but Anna just glowered at her.
<Maybe you can't but I sure can. Watch me.> Turning back around, she slumped onto the sleeping bag and lay there. As foggy as it was outside, they could still notice her ugly face.
Sophie glowered at her starter. "That's what you think..." She muttered before going on, louder, "come on! Let's go level up! The gyms won't go light on us!"
Mattie started jumping up and down, excited. +Yay! Let's go!+ The weird pokemon then let up and danced his way over to the entrance, trying to open the entrance.
Crawling over, she picked up her nidoran, who started protesting by wriggling about and clambered out of the tent, into the cold, foggy air. Shuddering, she grabbed her jacket as dew started licking her legs. Mattie stared around at the misty place, blinking.
She settled Anna in the grass and looked sternly at them. "Now, guys, while I go pack everything up, I want you to stick together and no running off!" Even though she doubted Anna would obey, she turned her back anyway and took everything out, putting the two remining eggs in their containers and Niaye's pokeball in the container. Stuffed them gently into her backpack, Sophie set to work in cleaning up the tent.
At this chance, Anna turned around and charged off into the foggyy world, Mattie following. <You've lived here, so you be my guide,> she ordered as the pokemon charged off. Mattie just shrugged.
+Ooohhh, is this gonna be some secret date?! Wow, exciting!+ He'd never had a secret relationship before; infact he'd never been in any relationship.... Anna snarled.
<Shut up Mattie! This ain't a date, got it?!> She shook her head, picking up the pace. Mattie could be so annoying and weird... ((yeah, well I seemed to make it work XD))

There was a loud screech overhead as a wingull hoved into veiw. Her wide wings brushed the precipice rising above the two, and she wheeled awkwardly to land behind Mattie and Anna on the road. Tucking her wings against the white plumage of her body she chirpped grumpily. <I meant to do that. Well, well, well, what are strangers like you doing out in the middle of nowhere?>
