"If we fall off, I'm blaming you," Carra told her bagon as she pulled the turquoise pokemon back from the cliff's edge on her hands and knees. The rocky beach looked unpleasantly hard and far away. She wanted to groan, but Aamir was probably still watching with his supercillious smile. This was the second time Morath had been overcome by the urge to fly, and Carra didn't want to think about the dirt she was now rubbing into the scratches that had accompanied her first rescue attempt. There had to be a better way, she thought, sitting up, red faced.
Crath scuttled up, and put a pincher on her knee in silent sympathy, only to scuttle behind her as a wingull's scream rebounded from the rocks stretching above them on the landward side of the road. Carra breathed out. "It's alright, Crath, that was just an echo."
The small bug did not seem to accept this as pure fact, and looked nervously about him for a wingull. His companion, the bagon, sniffed and then growled. <Another one of those crawlers,> she hissed, looking about for evidence of a paras. She could smell the wet moldy scent --
A wooper came running down the path, calling out behind him, semi-challengingly. After him scuttled the paras that Morath had scented, clicking his pinchers unhappily. Apparently the first one had taken something -- probably food -- from the second.

Aamir was frightened.
He was going to die. He had never walked this much in his life, let alone pass a very narrow cliff's edge. Why couldn't they just take one of his personal helicopters to wherever they were going, anyways? His clothes, hair, and nails were getting messy! The dark-haired boy wished that Carra didn't turn around to see his pale, and shivering self. She didn't.
Carfish was happily hanging around Aamir's neck, gripping to his neck and swinging back and forth. Bucks' eyes were glowing blue and he had made a transparent psychic force field beside the tiny group to make sure none of them would fall off.
Then a wooper and paras came up their way.
Carfish laughed at the paras. More cousins!
Aamir blinked, ".. what the hell is that blue bug faced thing with antennas?"
Was he suppose to fight one of those?

"Oh! Oh! I know this one," Carra said in relief. She was pretty sure that she remembered from biology, anyway. "It's a Johto native. A Wooper,"
At that moment the water type slid to a halt on the tan bark, eying the party with black little eyes. As if to support Carra's claim it let out a loud: "Woop! Woop!" The paras caught up, and snapped its pincers. First at the wooper, and then at Morath, who had advanced menacingly. The wooper just laughed, and then darted in front of Morath. Before the bagon could blink, the little amphibian jumped up, and slapped her jaw sharply with it's flat, blue tail. If flipped over, and came down, out of bite range. For the moment anyway.
Carra put her hands over her eyes. "Oh dear."

<When walking on land, it covers its body with a poisonous film that keeps its skin from dehydrating, > Bucks proudly showed off his pokedex-memorizing skills. The orange duck was very happy that this wooper had just slapped the dumb dragon.
<Young master! This pokemon is going to make a wonderful addition to our team! Let's catch it!> whispered Bucks.
".. I don't think this is our fight, though."
<Hmmm,> Bucks replied, thinking about how he could get back at the Morath with that wooper in their team.
Carfish jumped out of Aamir's grip. The corphish crawled towards the paras and waved enthusiastically. Cousin!
"Carfish -- wait, no!"

As Bucks gloated, Morath lunged forward in a burst of speed that is more commonly associated with an alligator. Her jaws clamped around the wooper's tail in revenge. Carra winced, but the teen had rather lost her taste for wild pokemon over the last few hours. Also, she hoped that it was easier to get Morath to go easy on an opponent than it was to stop her all together. Stopping Morath just seemed to make the Bagon mad.
"Um, good bite work on the woo--"
The pained amphibian turned its large head and spat a stream of water right into Morath's eyes. Shocked, and pained, the bagon stumbled back, almost knocking into the wooper's former pursuer. The paras, which was a grumpy specimen for the shy, mast dwelling bug had been looking at the silent Corphish with narrowed eyed. He clicked his pincers, a sign that Crath recognized as bad.
<Carfish, he's not a happy person,> Crath warned from his hiding place in Carra's large shadow.
However, at that moment Morath blundered sideways into the grass type, and with an angry hiss, the paras reached out a pincher to scratch at Carfish's hard shelled body, thinking that the crustacean was after his territory.

Carfish cocked its head as Carath warned him from behind. What was first cousin saying? Not happy cousin? Did that mean his second cousin was sad about something? should he cheer him up?
Just as the ruffian pokemon turned to the wild paras, it was suddenly attacked by a scratch attack. Carfish was taken back and fell a little distance away on the ground.
"-- Carfish! Bucks do something! Go save him!" Aamir cried out worriedly, his face breaking into a horrified and cring expression that Bucks saw for the first time ever.
<...>
"Bucks! I'm tell you to go fight and save Carfish!"
<.. I can't.>
"What do you mean you can't!? Carfish needs your help! Go and blast that dumb thing away!"
<Young master, Carfish has already entered the battle, nothing can be done now. I'm only your guide, I can only help you by my knowledge. Under no circumstances am I allowed to use my abillities to help you in battle -- this is how pokemon are suppose to grow, by battling. They experience from their battles and learn new things, regardless of win or loss,> the psyduck explained gently.
"But.. "
<Carfish is mute, not handicap, young master. Carfish can fight. It would be nice to have a little faith in him,> the orange duck said staring at the lobster that was now getting back up in the battle.
Aamir stared at Carfish for a while and then finally nodded in an agreement, it was indeed hard for him to see his pokemon get hurt but he guessed that's how things were. "You're right. What can Carfish do? -- his attacks, I mean."
<The only attack he knows is bubbles, young master. It won't be as much as affective since that paras is a bug type, but it will lower its-->
"Carfish! Use your bubble attack! I'm counting on you, Carfish!" Aamir shouted to his pokemon awkwardly, hoping he was doing it right. The corphish dusted of the sand off him, surprised to see his trainer cheering for him. Carfish waved at him with a big smile happily and Aamir flashed his rare smiles at him. His trainer was so nice. He was counting on him, trusting him for the first time. This was his first battle, he couldn't let Aamir down. No way.
The ruffian pokemon agressivly started shaking his head while a stream of bubbles went towards the paras.

"Why wouldn't it be very effective?" Carra asked Bucks, as she watched Morath recover her balance, murder in her eyes. "That's good Morath, bite the wooper!" she encoraged, hoping that Morath would pay attention when she shouted instructions the dragon was likely to follow anyway.
Indeed, Morath squared her dense little body, and rushed at the wooper, mouth agape. The wooper watched the on rushing dragon with it's head cocked to one side, and then squirted another watergun right down her throat. This was fun, like target practice, or something.
Morath choked, spluttering on the gush of water. That nasty wingull had played the same dirty joke. Her throat felt raw, and she grimaced. The wooper danced in victory, capering from one side to the other, just as Morath's jaws shot forward to clamp around his side. A sour taste filled her mouth, as her tongue touched against slimy skin, and the bagon spat out the blue amphibian. That was gross!
Beside him the paras put up his claws in defense against the bubbles. They popped on his hard carapace, and soaked into his mushrooms. The water was nasty and cold, but not really much worse than the air outside in any case, although the one that had popped on his large eye had stung.
Carra turned to Bucks as Morath had struck, and continued with her question about attack types. "Paras are bugs -- Oh! Right, the grass type! Aamir, would you like me to lend you Crath? He'll be able to attack the paras more effectively than Carfish. You could tag team it."

Aamir swallowed.
The teen's hands tightened into a fist. This wasn't good, Carfish's attacks weren't doing as much as damage against the paras. Dumb Bucks and him being right all the time.
Aamir heard Carra offering to let out Crath to help aid Carfish in battle. Could they do that? Aamir turned to Bucks and the duck nodded in response. Aamir turned to the curly-haired girl and nodded, "yeah, I think that's a good idea."
Aamir turned back to see the ruffian pokemon dancing over his first attack in battle. "Carfish!" Aamir called out and the pokemon turned to his trainer obediantely, "use your bubbles attack again to keep him off, Crath is coming to help you," the trainer instructed and Carfish nodded, and once again let out a stream of bubbles at the wild paras.
Bucks noticed Morath having a hard time with the wooper. And he thought he'd just give him a little push, by ticking him off. The psyduck placed his arms over his hips and forced out a smug, <hey, stupid dragon! What's the matter? Wooper caught your tongue? Such a shame.. You know, I knew you were dumb and stupid, but didn't know you were weak, as well,> the duck mocked.

"Um, Bucks, not for nothing, but I like it when Morath only has one target at which to vent her rage," Carra mentioned. Rage sounded like the kind of attack that worked best when you were only angry at one person, and not trying to divide your attention among two. Still, of Morath's two attacks, Bite was stronger, and Carra's constant friend, so: "Morath, Bite the wooper. It was really hurt the last time."
Morath didn't need a second telling. It was just that the water type tasted awful. She stalked around the amphibian looking for a new place to sink her mouth in. The little amphibian wasn't capering, having been dazed by the prompt spit onto the ground, and not feeling good. It sat down unhappily, now making itself a smaller target.
Carra turned her attention to Crath. "Come on. Out of my shadow and give it a good scratch."
The shy paras scuttled reluctantly from behind Cara's legs, and moved up by the bubbling Carfish. He eyed the other paras doubtfully. That thing looked mean. Carfish was chugging away valliantly, forcing the large orange claws of his opponent to raise high against his fave to protect his eyes. Still--yeowch!
On of the paras' heavy front claws caught Crath across his own face. The be-mushroomed bug quivered, and then srtuck back, in time to Carra's command for a: "Scratch!"
Just at that moment, Morath lurched at the wooper, fastened her mouth around one of the purple antenna, and pulled. The wooper screamed with pain, just as the bagon screamed with agony. She could feel concentrated poison lacing her tongue, and going down her hungry gullet. Letting go, the wooper toppled over.
Morath raced away from the blue pokemon, and right up to Bucks, where she was heartily sick all over his webbed feet. <I'm never eating frog again,> she declared, once she finished retching. <They're disgusting!>
((Morath defeated a level 6 wooper. Morath gained 1 level. Morath is now level 7))

Bucks nodded at Carra defeatingly, it would be nice to play around with the bagon, though.
Bucks eyes squinted as he saw Morath bite the wooper, defeating it immediately. Aw, that was almost too easy. The bagon came to the orange duck and complained about how disgusting frogs were. <Oh, really now?.. Hold on a minute.>
<Oh, young master!~>
"What is it, Bucks? I'm in the middle of my first battle here. It's getting pretty tough."
The psyduck dug out a pokeball from the backpack he was carrying and held it to his trainer, <here, I want you to throw it at that fainted wooper over there.>
Aaamir raised his eyebrow, "uh.. why? Bucks, I'm not in the mood for your stupidity. I'm too tensed ab --"
<This is a part of your lesson young master, now, please I request you as your pokeguide to throw this pokeball at the fainted wooper.>
The teen looked at the psyduck and then at the pokeball in its hand, Aamir sighed, he wasn't going to leave him alone until he did what he said, was he? The newbie trainer snatched the pokeball and threw it at the blue frog.
"There! Happy!?"
Carfish smiled and waved as Crath joined him in battle. Cousin! He saw his cousin being attacked by evil cousin so he decided to help Crath by using the only move he knew: bubbles! And without waiting for Aamir's instructions.

((You know, each time Carfish "says" Cousin! I <3 just a little bit more.))
The pokeball rocked violently, as Morath stared at it in dislike. Bucks hadn't even complained that she had vomited poisonous slime all over his feet. She wondered briefly how badly Aamir must treat him not to notice that. However the thought was not enjoyable in any way, so Morath returned to her ultimate plan of how she was going to find a real dragon trainer, with long blue hair and true elegance, and go with her. Instead of ditching Carra, Morath had come up with an even better plan -- Carra would have to come along as Morath's servant, and feed Morath.
The pokeball dinged, to indicate that the pokemon had been caught. However, the status checker had no way of knowing what the stats were until Aamir had registered the pokeball.
Over on the other side of the road the paras hissed and clacked his pinchers as another stinging round of bubbles splashed into his face. Wincing through a veil of tears he lurched forward to scratch over Carfish's red carapace, as Crath darted one long claw in. The orange claw hit the open hole of the mouth, and tore a line to the side.
The hiss turned high and pain-filled. The segmented legs buckled under him, and he rolled over onto his back, playing dead until he had the energy to get up, and lash out again. Three more of Carfish's bubbles hit the orange exoskelleton, and the legs twitched in pain. The bursting bubbles hurt as they hit there. The paras rolled over again, and limped back down the tan bark.
<That was great!> Crath raised his long pincers excitedly, applauding Carfish. <You did it!>

[Uh, sure. If it's okay with you, too. Since Carra is also getting affected by it. lol @ the slime oh Bucks' feet. XD]
"... What just happened?" Aamir asked as the pokeball absorbed the frog pokemon and came flying back to Aamir's grip.
<Congrats! You caught your first pokemon, young master!> Bucks exclaimed wiping the disgusting slime of his awesome webfeet. Oh, just you wait, Morath. Just wait.
"What!? That bug looking thing is on my team now!? I didn't even want to catch him!" Aamir exploded on his pokeguide, forgetting all about the battle that was happening between Carfish, Crath and the wild paras. Aamir always thought you'd just.. ask a pokemon to be on your team, and if they'd wanted they would just jump inside the pokeballs somehow -- guess not. He wasn't ever going to tell anyone he thought that, too. OF course Bucks knew since he read his master's mind from time to time.
<.. But, but it was a demonstration! To show you how you catch pokemon, you should be really happy! Mukip are known to be good fighters, you know.>
"To hell with your demonstration you dumb, good-for-nothing, bird!"
Meanwhile, Carfish squirmed his eyes as Crath gathered all his strength and defeated the evil cousin once and for all. Carfish clapped his pincers together and smiled happily, proud of himself and crath for winning their first battle together. Cousin! Carfish went and sort of hugged Crath in an odd ruffian fashion.

((Ummmm, if you wanna time warp, you have to choose how many days you would like to time warp.
Restrictions: Aamri has an egg that will hatch in 5 days, so, that's the extent that you can time warp. ^^))
Carra watched the display between the bug and crustacean trying to ignore Aamir being, well, helpless. Even she had known how to catch pokemon, before. So she didn't know every single thing about every single pokemon out there. Aamir just seemed, well, ignorant.
Morath heard Bucks mention mudkip, and snickered. <Are you ever going to tell him that he caught a wooper, which no one finds useful?>
"Hey, Crath, Carfish, we should get moving. If you want to get farther we should find a camping spot, and then continue training until night time."

[5 days it is, then. ] Carfish nodded to Carra and crawled up to her leg, and then decided to rest on her head, waving and smiling at Crath to join him. Aamir had finally decided to ignore the psyduck for now. There was no way to undo, the doing now. Well, there was. Just Aamir didn't know. And he didn't want to ask Bucks if there was an option like that. The teen looked around to find the wild paras fainted, and then saw his corphish on top of Carra's head. "You beat it?.. Amazing! Good job, Carfish! I knew you could do it!" The ruffian pokemon smiled and waved at its trainer. His trainer wasn't the brightest, but he sure cared for him. Bucks turned around and glowered at the bagon, <do not interfere with my pokeguiding, you lowly dragon pokemon!> pointing his beak up in the air, the orange duck walked alongside to Carra to wherever they were going.

<Lowly! One day I will be a queen!> the furious bagon yelled after the yellow duck, as the group of trainers and pokemon walked away into the mist, which was tinged gold as the sun began to lower in the sky.
~ ~ ~
Five Days Later
Early morning mist was gray and depressing, Carra thought as she washed her face from water in a little rivulet that ran down the trail to disappear over the edge of the cliff. The rangers who patrolled the final end of the road were just testing the pulleys and cables of the Rope Elevators. She had gotten to know them pretty well, over their five day stay in an alcove near the cliff side.
Carra was putting off the terrifying trip down for as long as she could. First she had complained that she wasn't ready for the new town because Morath wasn't high enough in levels. And then Crath. Soon, however, she would run out of Aamir's patience. Bucks, she thought, already suspected the reason that she wanted desperately to stay on Fog Path. However, he had not mentioned anything, and let the two trainers keep to the small base camp that they had set up, with their two pitched tents.
Carra bent forward on her hands and knees once more, to look over the sheer drop of the Rope elevators. Pullies squeaked, and near by, a rope strained against a bracket drilled into the rock. Gray blue mist blanketed the area, making it impossible to see the bottom, and more than three feet down. But she could hear the bird angrily squawking. Once the mist cleared, she knew she would be able to see all the way down the sheer drop to the rocky sand below. Only the knowledge that the cute Ranger Kent might be helping them down, calmed the 18 year old enough to risk trying it. And she was not going to let them go down all in one go. She had watched as wingull and spearow mobbed the rangers shimmying up and down the ropes. Something cried out, a cawing shriek, and Carra lunged back from the cliff's edge as if she'd been burned. She nearly tripped over Crath, who scuttled away just in time.
"Sorry," she muttered to her bug. He was shaking too.
The prospect of heading down those ropes and facing those birds was probably worse for him than it was for her. A wingull had almost gotten at him the other day; if Morath hadn't gone into a rage at the white bird, Crath would probably have been lunch. Carra had lost any interest in having a flying type, if she ever had any interest in it in the first place.
"C'mon, let's get back to camp," she told the cautious pokemon. "See what trouble Bucks and Morath have gotten into this time. And hear His Majesty's anger at waking up before noon, and the lack of civilized conveniences."
She walked up the path with the orange bug following behind her.
~ ~ ~
Over in Aamir's shiny new tent -- which was slightly less shiny after five days in the wet, although the water droplets glistened nicely on the plastic and nylon outer layer -- the egg that had been bouncing around in Bucks' pack finally began to rock in earnest, as loud scratching was heard from within the hard green shell, it's leathery substance finally having become brittle.
((Okay, stats increases for the 5 days:
Carfish: level 11 1/2 - Learned: Harden, Vicegrip Burgul: level 11 - Learned: Mud Shot

<Dumb dragon, I told you specifically to not wake me up by throwing wingull eggs on me when I'm sleeping anymore -- I know you are too stupid and may not be able to comprehend normal sentences, but, I'm telling you.. the day I loose my patience is the day you're going to wish you didn't waste such perfectly omelette-making eggs on me,> the psyduck warned, glowering at the bagon with his arms on his hips as usual. This was how their normal morning routine went.
<Lalalala~ you guys are fighting again!> The wooper exclaimed happily as she jumped, twirled up in midair, and launched mudshots randomly around the tent. She was come to known as, Bugurl. Basically, Aamir thought that wooper looked like bugs when he had first caught Bugurl. And since this wooper was a female, the gurl bit came in.
Bug girl > Buggirl > Buggurl > Bugurl.
Bucks was quite dissapointed at the lameness of his master's naming scheme, he had obviously read the youngster's mind when he came up with it. Aamir got used to her as he trained her for the past days and doesn't really call her bug-faced anymore. She's probably the energy house of the team.
Carfish crawled around the dirty tent looking for his 'cousin', completely ignoring the ruckus going around. Cousin! Where did cousin go? Where is Nicecurlylady? Did they get eaten by spearows!? Oh no!
The only human being present in the tent waved his hand up in his sleep, "shut up! Shut up, you two! God, you two are so irritating! Do we need to go through this every single day!? I need my beauty sleep! I.. Need... My... zzzZZzzzz..."
As if training and living in this rotten place for five-straight days wasn't bad at all, he had to wake up to this racket everyday. Every hard working human being atleast deserved to sleep in a couple of hours, didn't they? Aamir wished the days he was woken by numerous maids with breakfast and newspaper in bed, furry slippers, and silk robe.. Oh, those were the days. The dark-haired teen cursed his rotten luck in his sleep, and dreamed of waking up in his mansion.
The ruffian pokemon searched inside Bucks' bagpack, you know, just in case cousin accidently fell in the bag and couldn't come back out. Carfish's eyes widened as he noticed an egg cracking inside the bag. New cousin!? The corphish waved at all the pokemon in tent, signaling to them that something was wrong.
Bucks immediately sensed the disturbing aura in the environment and shifted his attention towards the crustacean pokemon.
<What? The egg!? It's cracking!?>
And all the pokemon rushed and stuck their heads inside Bucks' backpack with mouts dropped wide open to see what was happening.

Morath watched the rush of Aamir's pokemon and snorted. She rolled angry eyes under her skull ridge. So what an egg was cracking? There were more important things in life, such as growing stronger. She was still the most powerful pokemon in the group -- but only just, and that cringing bug the little crawdad was so fond of had more moves than she did. Of course, Morath told herself, they were not moves of any real quality -- although the poison powder had her terrified any time a puff of air came along while he was attacking. She had enough poison to last her a life time -- and according to that annoying psyduck, the poison on Bugurl's body wasn't even concentrated enough to harm anyone.
She waited for a few moments in the fog, trying to feel dignified, and ignore the hubbub from Amir's tent. She was a bit jealous of that tent, really. Carra's leaked in one corner. It might have had to do with Crath trying desperately to scratch a way out when Morath had tried to eat him in her sleep, but neither pokemon would ever admit to that.
There was a wet crunch of tanbark under heavy combat boots, and Carra came up, Crath scuttling behind her. "Hey, now, what's going on?" Carra asked, seeing a complete lack of the morning boisterous chorus that Aamir usually complained of, and got Carra out of bed. Morath jerked a stubby arm at the tent, and then followed Carra and Crath inside. Not that she was interested.
The egg in the pack jumped suddenly, as something in it punched upward. Two tiny green claws made it through the hole in the egg, and ripped apart the sticky inner membrane and outer shell. The cracks in the egg widened before a sharp breaking sound was heard, and the rest of the egg broke into jagged thirds, with the strength of little green scaled arms, and a curled green tail pushing for all its worth.
Among the pieces of the shell, a spiky reptilian head looked up at the assembly. It was a scaled green, with a red slash on its belly, and what looked like gold dusting over the scales that lined the head and mouth. The flat, wide mouth opened, revealing a small nub of a tongue, which shot out to hit Aamir in the sleeping eye.
"Keeeeeck keeeeeck!" the baby kecleon demanded, wanting flies.
((Staties:
Kecleon Name: ? ? ? Gender: Male Level: 1 Moves: Tail Whip, Scratch, Lick, Theif Ability: Color Change - This pokemon becomes the same type as the previous attack Personality: He's young, right now, and only really thinks of flies and bugs. Nothing else is set -- except for a slight tendency to use his camouflage abilities for less than noble purposes, like taking shiny objects from people. Shiny things are fun to play with.

Aamir felt one of his eyes numb all of a sudden, it felt so heavy. He couldn't open his left eye. His right eye fluttered open to see what was the commotion about. His straight dark-hair messily lying all over his face, with a yawn he made his way closer to the source of a paralyzing tongue.
<Young master, hurry! Look, it's your mother's gift! A kecleon! It finally hatched. Kecleon alters its body coloration to blend in with its surroundings, allowing it to sneak up on its prey unnoticed. Then it lashes out with its long, stretchy tongue to instantly ensnare the unsuspecting target,> Bucks recited kecleon's description. The baby swung his tongue at the psyduck but failed, kicked, and cried some more.
Aamir thought it was kind of cute in a very creepy, reptile kind of way. Carfish didn't think it was his cousin but he was still very cute! And a new friend to make, yay! Bugurl chose to point and laugh at the baby with her tail for no reason at all.
"Uhm, what do you think it wants.. ?" Asked Aamir twisting his face as he awkwardly scratched his cheek, his left eye still tightly shut.
<Flies! That's what it eats! Wait, I'll get some!> Bucks cried running towards the exit with his backpack, greeting both Carra and Crath before leaving the tent. It would be no trouble at all to catch flies with his psychic abillities. Psychic abillities were meant for catching flies!
The orange duck shortly came back with some flies in his hands. Bucks was surprised to find Bugurl carrying the Kecleon with her tail and swinging the baby gently, singing in her high-pitched wooper voice to calm him down, and it actually worked. She was acting like his mother. Aamir just stared at the scene in astonishment and turned to face Carra to see what her reaction was.
The baby lstuck out his tongue and swallowed all the flies presented to him. It then burped and excitedly kicked its legs and arms as Aamir carried him in his strong grip. "Well, um, since I was sleeping when you were boring -- and your species name is really hard to remember.. I'll call you Blanket, is that okay?" the teen asked unsure of his name choice. It wasn't that the species name was hard, Aamir was just really bad with names.
The baby reptile just kicked and laughed in response, not really getting what the human was saying.
Bucks sighed. This was saddening.

Carra had to fight to keep a straight face. "It's a good name. It's a good name. Uh. You might want to read one of the articles in my "Pokemon Monthly." It'll make you feel better about the whole naming, thing. Apparently some champion never named one of his pokemon, and she got a little angry at him, but perked right up once he gave her one."
<Cripes,> Morath commented as she angled her heavy head upwards to see the small pokemon. <Good thing I didn't eat it. That's another dragon, isn't it?>
Crath clacked his pincers nervously on the floor of the tent. <You were planning to eat it?! I thought Carra said no eating eggs!>
Morath snorted. <You think I'd listen to such a -- pathetic waste of human life?>
<No,> Crath mumbled, scuttling towards his chunky trainer's foot for comfort.
"Anyway, that's really a cute pokemon," Carra was saying over the chatter of her pokemon. "But, um, can it climb ropes, very well? We probably should get moving down the rope elevators today. And early, because, I don't think I should take a straight shot down, seeing as Crath looks like food to all the flying types." Morath had trained her so well that she hadn't even thought of using Crath's pokeball to help her out.

[Sorry Carra, must warp for two more days. ] Aamir looked at the baby pokemon while biting his lower lip, "um, I know everyone wants to leave this place as soon as possible, I mean I wanted to, but I don't know you guys. Blanket just cracked out of his egg, he must be sensitive to his environment right now. Doesn't he need some rest before we can head out?" Aamir asked looking at everyong in a pleading sort of way. Bucks gasped. That was the first smart, thought, caring thing his master had ever said. This journey is doing wonders for the teen! It was only little time that would turn this brat into a perfect gentleman. The orange ducked laughed evilly in his head. The baby Kacleon puked on Aamir. "Aww, man! Not this shirt! This was expensive!" Carfish went over to Crath and waved happily. Cousin! Bugurl pointed and laughed at Aamir with her tail. <Puke!>
