Which one, which one...

[Naolin]

(Yep, that happy fun question thingy that it would have been soooo much fun to do with Spaz. Moments lost...T.T)

"Alright, thanks." And in a flash of light, the two Sandshrew popped out of their Pokeballs. "Hey there." she grinned. "My name's Naolin, and I want to be your trainer, but I need to know some things about you first. So, first off, what are your names?"

[Espeon]

(xD Yup, that would have been quite amusing to read. Have you ever gone back to Delmara and just read a random person's journey with their wacko Pokemon? I did that with Neko-san's character, and it was incredibly funny.) ((And if you're reading this Neko-san, yus, you're a very good writer of humor. Or at least I think so.))

The first Sandshrew, the girl, developed an expression much like '^^' when she heard the question. She exclaimed, <Hi! I'm Dusty! Who are you? Are you my new trainer?>

The second one was male, and more reserved. <I'm called by many different names. You're just going to have to pick one which suits me best.> He said.

[Naolin]

(I wish there were three, but I'll make do. And I was Nyaa-chan's Mod for the first half of that journey. Very fun indeed.)

"Dusty huh? Cool name. I'm Naolin, and I'm not your trainer yet, I have to pick one of you." Then, addressing the more quite Sandshrew, "Well, I won't know what suits you until I get to know you. See this? This is my resolved face. No one can resist the resolved face. Now, I've got some questions for you guys so I can get to know you better, and then choose one of you. First question, how do you get along with others?"

(^.^; I am so unoriginal.)

[Espeon]

(Oooh... do you want the sadistical one to come out? xD Yus, fun and incredibly amusing. And that's not unoriginal! You should have seen some of the earlier Delmara peeps. o.o)

"I get along very well! I've got a lot of friends, like there are a couple of Cindaquil that visited me today to play tag!" Dusty exclaimed.

"Whenever someone addresses me, I have patience with them, but normally my patience wears thin after a while." Said the other Sandshrew.

[Naolin]

(Yes, yes, bring it on. Muahahahaha-cough-...Eh.)

"I see. So, you," she turned to the quite one(I'm calling him that till I think of a name)"sound like me. Kind of. Next question, if you were sent out by a stupid trainer against a Poliwag, what would you do?"

(Sou ka? I'll have to go on Delmara and look. Can I get a name?)

[Espeon]

(xD I'll give you a name... in a little bit. I've got to leave now, bye Hoppy-chan! *cries and clings*)

[Naolin]

(Noooo....-sniff- Are you getting back on?)

[Espeon]

Suddenly, another of the Pokeballs burst open, and another Sandshrew joined the third. <Why wasn't I invited?> He snapped at the Professor while Naolin was asking her question. He then turned to her, <Why, I would eat the stupid trainer. Worthless idiot.>

<I... uhh... wouldn't do that.> Dusty stammered. <I would do nothing, just hope my trainer knew what he was doing, and sent me out against a weak Poliwag. If I get knocked out, I'd have done my best.>

<I would dig underground and stay there, attacking the Poliwag from a distance so that he cannot get at me with a water attack.> The last one said.

[Naolin]

"Eat...the...trainer? Well, that's certainly an...interesting way of taking care of things..." said Naolin, backing away ever so slightly from the new arrival. Then, to Dusty, "That's a nice way of looking at things, but if your trainer had sent you out against a stronger Pokemon, you'd have to be able to think about what to do. Still, trusting your trainer is very importent." <As for you," she said, turning to the as-of-yet un-named one, "Logic is always good in a battle, and you seem to be very good at thinking up strategies. Now, next question. If you saw Team Magma trying to steal another trainers Pokemon, what would you do?"

[Nyaa-Neko]

((Bwahahah. Espeon-kun hasn't been on, and I, Nyaa-Neko, hereby TAKE THIS BOARD HOSTAGE! MWAHAHAH! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

You know, it's very strange to come onto a random board to help out and find you ish being talked about. @_@ Thanks for teh compliments of doom, though. ^_^

Eeeeeep...I hope I get these characters right! >_<)

"<Bah!>" The new arrival laughed. "<First, I would kick sand into their eyes. After they writhe in pain for a little while, I'd make the stolen Pokemon my minion. Then I would TAKE OVER THE WORLD!>"

Dusty looked a little taken aback, and edged a little more over to Naolin and The Calm One. "<Well, I would try my best to help out! Team Magma uses a lot of fire types, and my ground attacks are good against them! So I would tell my trainer to help me in a fight for justice and the happiness of the stolen Pokemon and their trainer!>" She grinned, wagging her thick Sandshrew tail a little.

The Quiet One paused, thinking, and absentmindedly tapping a claw to his chin. "<I think...if I tried to engage in a battle, I might go up against an unexpectedly strong Pokemon. Then, Team Magma might try to steal me, too. I would try to get away from the situation and call the police. They are more capable of handling these situations than me."

"<Just beat the guy up and steal his stuff! Sheesh!>" The Sadistic One chimed in again, rolling his eyes at the more conservative of the two unnamed Sandshrews. Dusty just plastered a cute smile on her face and tried to ignore him, while the other tried to curl into a ball, on the off-chance The Sadistic One tried to launch some sort of attack on THEM.

[Naolin]

( Heh. Go compliments of doom. And it was very fun being your Mod. If you re-read your posts, I'm sure you'll agree. Also-glomp-... -hem- I've been waiting forever, but Feep left, and Avalon-san just kinda...died.)

"Um...alright. I kind of know who I'm going to pick, but just to make sure, I'll ask you this. What do each of you think about coming with me?"

(Good grief, it's 'unoriginal night'.)

[Nyaa-Neko]

The Sadistic One cackled evilly. "<A good chance to TAKE OVER THE WOOOOOORLD!>" Then he had to stop talking, since he had burst into a fit of maniacal laugher, and started rolling over the floor.

Dusty smiled. "<Well, I would love to have a trainer! It would be so exciting, traveling the world, and making new friends!>"

The Quiet One poked the ground. "<It would be a very interesting experience, I suppose. I would, of course, have to remember to use Defense Curl at the appropriate times. I wouldn't want the journey to end early on a bad note.>" He then looked up with a very, very, superly-over-the-top serious expression on his face.

((*dies from lack of creativity*))

[Nyaa-Neko]

((UWAAAAA! GOMEN NASAIIIIIII! *bows furiously*

I edited it. Is this better? O.O))

[Naolin]

(Well, that last line sold me. Perfect. ^^ Don't cry Nyaa-chan. Have...Soba Noodles. Also, you made me feel guilty for not picking Dusty.)


Naolin looked at each Pokemon for a while, then shook her head.
"Right. I've pretty much decided. As for you;" here she looked at The Sadist, "might I suggest you seek anger management? I'm sorry(she's really, really not) but I can't take you with me. It usually helps one's journey if they're not afraid of being murdered in their sleep."
"And Dusty, I really like you, but I don't think I want to take you with me. Don't worry though. You're a very nice Pokemon, and I'm sure lots of trainers will want you. Here-" she rummaged through her pack "have a berry."
And you," she addressed the Serious One, "I think I'll take, because you're very sensible, and we could probably become great friends. Um, but you'll need a name..." She paused, blanking out. "Name...name..." -lightbulb moment- "Naresh! Yep, we'll name you Naresh."

(Are you even supposed to feel guilty about not picking a Pokemon? X.x)

[Nyaa-Neko]

((Yeah, I think. I felt guilty for not picking the Dusty-clone-Ekans-whose-name-escapes-me.

YAY SOBA! *eats soba* OISHII! X3))

The Sadistic One snarled, and was about to scream some obscenity, but luckily for everybody around him, the professor quickly returned him to his Pokeball, muttering apologies.

Dusty sighed, looking a little dejected for a moment. But then she saw the berry, squealed her thanks, ate it, and went back into her Pokeball without much of a fuss.

Naresh looked Naolin in the eyes. "<Very well. I shall do my best to assist you in your travels, and fight as well as physically possible in each situation. I look forward to being your first teammate in Jenta.>"

The professor smiled, and handed Naolin Naresh's Pokeball. "Also, here is your starter package, complete with the beginning amount of money issued by the region to all new trainers, five empty Pokeballs and a Pokedex. I throw a map of Jenta in to each pack for good measure as well. I wish you luck in your journey through Jenta!"

((Eh, that good? And this professor is Professor Cherry, right? Redwood is from Delmara? ^_^;)

[Naolin]

(Um....I think it's Cherry. ^^; Feep named him, I didn't. But I'm 80% sure...)

"Alright!" shouted Naolin, pumping her fist in the air. "Thanks for the Pokemon, Professor." she said as she ran out the door, with Naresh siting on her pack. (Woo. I'm in a hurry this morning. Also, I'm hyper, and vaguely disturbed, but that has...absolutely nothing to do with this. You know, I may become active in Delmara again just to see Spaz and Bounce and Emo. I miss them.)

[Nyaa-Neko]
