The Tale of Seven

[Rikugurl]

Ven nodded and started to get out to the main search once more. As he was typing stuff up, he realized what Aqua had said. His brothers were here...which was going to make it a bit hard being under cover. He already knew Sora would be here... but Roxas too? He actually MADE it this far!?

He shook his head, looking at the directory by alphabetical order. Nothing seemed to pop out at them... except for that Moltres. They took down some notes on what Trainers had large, powerful pokemon that they could possibly score... but the fire bird was their main catch.

"Alright, that should be it..."
Ven smirked before pulling out a Pokedex. He took out some wires from his suitcase and hooked them up to the main computer. The computer downloaded his information but before it could be finalized, he froze the program and hacked into it. This allowed him to customize the information to his liking.
The pokedex that he had belonged to the original department worker that was suppose to be here... and all he had to change was his description, such as height, weight, eye color and hair color. He also changed the picture to his own from his own Pokedex.

"This should get them confused." He grinned some more, hearing Haunter in the background laugh. The man's pokemon were completely different from his own. Hopefully in the confusion... they would have the chance to get some snags.

He did the same for Aqua, putting in the false profile and Pokemon. After he was done, he looked at all the battle times. Seeing who was going to match with who.
"Shit..." He growled as he looked at all the information. "All the battles are at random... even the first ones!" He tapped his finger on a key, listening to Aqua bitch for a few minutes. "Alright! Don't get your panties in a bunch." He started to type before mumbling under his breath. "And you call me a Bonsly..."

He pointed to the screen before sighing. "We'll just have to hack into their radio system and carry a devise in where we can be the ones who control the random matches." He reached for his suitcase again before bringing out something that looked like a remote control. He hooked up some more wires before looking back at Haunter. "Go find a portable radio, ok?"
"Haun, haunter!" The ghost nodded before disappearing.


The purple ghost appeared in a hallway, looking back and forth. "Haunter?"
Now where would he f--
He blinked when he heard the padding of some feet and looked down, spotting a Skitty below. He scratched his head before grinning. Looked like he could get some dessert!

He slowly flew down behind the pink kitten before sticking out his tongue, ready to paralyze her. He hadn't had life force for awhile...

[Reno]

Glaceon looked away from the screen as her siblings disappeared, sighing unhappily. They all looked so happy. THEY probably didn't have to hold on for dear life on a motorbike, or help steal other Pokemon, or get kicked around. Sometimes she wished...
She shook her head and jumped from the table. That was a horrible thought! Aqua was her trainer and she had to respect that!

Aqua watched as Pokemon after Pokemon came past the screen her eyes watching them closely. She licked her lips sometimes when a positively good one passed by. Roxas and Sora showed up a few times more with some of their Pokemon. She wanted to suggest stealing some of them - no doubt they raised them well - but she knew Ven would only bitch at her. He had made very clear, his brother's Pokemon were OFF-LIMITS.

He had said if anyone wanted to steal Sora or Roxas' Pokemon another Rocket Gang member would have to get them. It was strange, because after all of Ven's deviousness over the years that she had witnessed, he was still strangely loyal to his siblings. She thought it was pathetic really. From what she heard of them, Sora was too much of a damn goody-goody to get any real use out of his slaves, and Roxas was so ditzy and absent-minded it was amazing his ass was still screwed on let alone his Pokemon.

Aqua's head perked as she heard the word random. "Well fuck that's no good! We need to get trainers that are worth-while not useless sons-of-bitches." Her eyes narrowed though and she growled at Ven's taunt. The minute Haunter left she grabbed his hair and yanked his head back so he was staring up at the ceiling. "Watch it Venny. I'm still your superior here."


Outside a little pink kitten was walking down the hall all by her lonesome, ears and tails flopping down in depression. "Skiiii..." She felt so sad she could cry!

That was when she heard - no more like felt - something chilly. "Ski?" The head perked up looking left and right then up... then behind.

"SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!" Came the incredibly LOUD screech! Little paws waved in the air panicked as the kitten started to run, terrified out of her little mind. "SKIIIIITTTTTTY!!" She cried for help, wishing Ven or Aqua could hear and save her!

[Rikugurl]

The blonde looked back at the screen as his ghost left but didn't get to focus on anything when... "AAH!" He cried, his body jerking as his hair was pulled. He growled as his cheeks grew red from frustration. "Just because you're older, doesn't mean your smarter. I'd like to see you do this." He felt another tug bit big his tongue, trying not to cry out too loud. "Stop it. We can't make so much... noise."

He sighed as he was let go and sent a glare at the blue haired woman. "Bitch..." He looked back and started to work faster. The quicker they got out of here, the faster he could get away from her... even if it was just a little bit.


Haunter grinned as the Skitty looked back at him... but blinked when it cried out. He covered his nonexistent ears before frowning. "Haun, haun!" He complained before he heard something.
"There's that Skitty!" A woman guard frowned as the pink kitten slammed into her legs. She reached down and pulled the Skitty from the gruff of her neck before walking to the nearest window, opening it and throwing it outside before slamming the window closed.

"Now for that---" She turned around and blinked as she saw an empty hallway. "Haunter."
With a shake to her head, she frowned. "That Haunter seems suspicious..." She slowly reached down to her belt and took a pokeball that was hooked on. With a press of a button, the pokeball grew larger before she tossed it out.

Out popped a Pokemon... and much like Haunter, this was also a ghost.
"Missy! Go follow that Haunter!"
"Misdreavuuuus~~" The ghost pokemon swirled before disappearing.

"Haun, haun, haun." Haunter was busy looking through the locker room, trying to find a radio that someone had forgotten.
"Mis, mis."
The Rocket's Haunter froze before glancing back.... then started to laugh at the other ghost that looked all too serious. "MISDREA!" The ghost snapped before the Haunter pouted. The Misdreavus started to float towards the Haunter when a radio was snatched up... and the Haunter was gone.


"There, that should do it." Ven nodded as he pressed one last button. "Now---"
"HAUNTER! HAUNT, HAUN!"
"AAAH!" The blonde jumped as he was interrupted out of nowhere and growled. "Damnit, Haunter, how many times---" He was interrupted again when a radio was shoved into his face but his panicked pokemon. He took it frowned a bit. "Huh? What's wrong?"
"Haunter! Haunt, haunter haunter!" The ghost explained as his detached hands went all over the place.
"What? Another ghost is---"

Interruption three.
"Misdreavuuuus~~" Another ghost Pokemon appeared in the room before quickly disappearing.
"SHIT!" The blonde cried before ripping all the plugs from their sockets and stuffing them in his bag. From outside, the four could hear a guard rushing down the hall. "Good job, Missy!"
"We gotta get out of here!" Ven looked around... but there were no windows.

[Reno]

Her savior, however, came from the most unlikely of places. "SKI!" Cried the little pink Pokemon as she was picked up trying to flail around but finding herself immobile. it curled up, the tail curling under her body almost protectively as she was hauling out the window.

"Ty!" The cat complained as she tumbled out on the grass, shaking her head and looking around. "Ski...?" She was... outside! That meant she was free of chasing guards and evil ghosts! "Ski, ski, ski!" She chirped as she ran for the nearest bush and hid in it, hunkering down and curling up tightly. No one could see her now!


Aqua rolled her eyes at the taunt. "Dickweed." She said back, folding her arms in front of her as she watched him do his fancy computer work. Sure he might THINK he had it all, but he was just some nerd. She on the other hand had a knack for finding the best Pokemon. Like a recruiter for an army she had a specialized Rocket Pokedex that could tell her the experience, the level and the attacks OTHER trainers Pokemon could use and she had tweaked it so that the Pokemon don't even need to be out of their Pokeballs to do so.

That was how she caught the majority of her stolen Pokemon - by searching trainers hidden Pokemon and then throwing them to the boss when necessary and keeping what she could for her greedy little self. Oftentimes the stronger would go back to the base that was why she and Ven were oftentimes stuck with weaklings or idiotic types.

Glaceon's ears perked and she looked up as Haunter reappeared. she jumped to her feet, growling under her breath, but her warning was unheard as Haunter freaked out. What kind of bravery was that?! Wasn't HE supposed to be a scary Pokemon?

Aqua's eyes widened as she heard the voice outside and cursed softly. There was no way out of this room... except for the door they came in on! She waved to Haunter and Ven to get them to be quiet as the blonde shut the computer off. She leaned down whispering something to Glaceon quickly before snatching up the towel she had used to block the light and grabbed Ven by his arm and dragging him to the nearest table in the back of the room where the shadows would stretch the farthest. Haunter of course followed.

They heard the door to the room being opened. That was when Glaceon slumped onto the ground and started to yowl as if in pain. The door opened and the light from the hallway illuminated the blue fox laying on the ground shaking. This was something they'd done before. Appealed to the better nature of humans who would NEVER leave a hurt Pokemon alone... and then when they least expected it they got attacked.

Aqua's eyes narrowed as she peeked through the machinery at the human and her ghost that entered. 'Missy' might still be a problem... if she sensed something amiss. She raised an eyebrow before ducking her head low again.

[Rikugurl]

Ven put his hands over his mouth before he was pulled to the corner of a room by a table. He crouched down and cuddled close to Aqua. Haunter was hiding as well.... probably forgetting that he could disappear. Ven would of sent him out to scare the guard... but it seemed like since she was also a trainer of a ghost, scaring her might be hard.

The door opened and blue eyes glanced over, only able to see a teen about their age with a security suit on, silver hair and an eye patch. She looked around, her flashlight covering every inch that it could. Her Misdreavus was floating alongside her, looking around a bit. She blinked though when she heard the cry of something and looked down, seeing a poor Glaceon on the floor. "Oh... how did you get here?" The silverette looked concern before slowly walking over to her. "You poor---"

"Miiisss....." The woman stopped before looking back, seeing the not so please look on her pokemon. "What is it...?"
"Misdreeee~~~"
The silverette frowned but nodded as she backed away from the Glaceon and covered her ears.

Ven rose his eyebrow, wondering what the hell---
SCREEEEEEEECH
Ven grit his teeth, covering his eyes. A sharp pain ran through him as his heart skipped a beat.

When it was done, the silvertte took her hand from her ears as her ghost's necklace started to glow. The pokemon looked pass Glaceon at the table where Aqua and Ven were hiding. It was one of Misdreavus's special powers. Her red necklace absorbs fear as nourishment... and she can tell where it comes from. "Dreavus!" She quickly floated over to the Rocket's hiding spot and glared down at them.

[Reno]

Glaceon's ears twitched as she heard the automatic concern - so gullible trainers were - and the footsteps coming closer. Her body started to tense all over as the other came closer which wasn't unnatural because this guard would see it as nothing more than hurt Pokemon getting skittish and afraid. What she was really doing was getting ready to attack.

That was until she heard the footsteps retreating - what? - and she peeked open an eye seeing the ghost Pokemon's unhappy look. She knew what was going on!

After the flashlight swept over them Aqua peeked out again, staring at the woman guard. She grinned a little. Ah found by such a...

"Ah!" Aqua grinned as the scream echoed in the room ducking down and covering her ears. Even from behind her ears and over the screech she could hear her Glaceon's cry, filling her with anger.

"Glaa!" The fox's previously tensed muscles melted to jelly as the screech ran over the room, her legs going limp and her body slumping. She hadn't been prepared for any battle so the sudden attack was disorienting and confusing her. But not so much... that she didn't hear her trainer's call.

Aqua turned as the ghost Pokemon floated above them, her eyes widening in surprise and anger. Damn it! Well then they'd just have to do this the hard way! "Glaceon now!!"

Blue ears perked up and eyes snapped open and with a growl the fox was on it's feet, stumbling around just a little before her bearings were gained. She looked at the guard who seemed a little surprised and opened her mouth, a blast of an icy storm came from her mouth, aimed for the guard.

[Rikugurl]

The guard frowned as she saw her ghost quickly finding something. What confused her as she started to see what it was... was the call of a human!
"Gla---" She started when all of a sudden, the ice pokemon jumped in front of her. "Wh---AAAAAA!!" The silverette didn't have the chance to run before she was hit the the icy breath. Being pushed back, she hit the wall... and stuck to it.

"MIS!!" The ghost looked back, her eyes wide as she saw her trainer.
"Haunter! Now!" Ven cried as he pointed at the Misdreavus. Haunter quickly floated up and his tongue reached out towards the other.... but before he could get very far in his attack, the female ghost twisted around.

"DREAVUS!" She leaned back and opened her mouth, a black ball of energy and purple electric forming. "MIIIIIIIIISS!!" She called out as the ball shot out towards Haunter, but her duck just in time. Instead, it hit the wall behind him and blew up the wall, leading to the outdoors.
"Come on!" Ven cried as he scrambled up and rushed out of the hole in the wall. Haunter quickly followed with the two behind him.

Unfortunately... the female ghost couldn't go after them. Instead, she sighed and quickly floated back to her trainer so she could be of some aid.

[Reno]

Aqua ducked her head as the small fight proceeded overhead while Glaceon took care of the guard. She smirked as, by accident, the ghost Pokemon actually provided for them a way OUT. "Alright! Glace come!"

Glaceon looked at the silverette, her ears drooping a little sadly - and she seemed so nice too - before turning on her heels at her trainer's call and running after. The three jumped outside and ran off, Haunter flying after.

The two ran for town and Aqua spared Ven a glance. "We'll split up and meet back later!" Not unused to this the blond nodded and the two split ways one rushing down an alley the other down a side street their respective Pokemon running after. Their was that break from each other Ven had been hoping for.

Aqua sighed as she came to a safe and abandoned spot, hiding in the shadows and looking around. Quickly she returned her Glaceon and pulling off her mask. Time for a quick change!

A few minutes later a bluette with bows in her hair and a bunny hopping by her side was innocently strolling down the street, a green purse (of which she had dumped the contents and turned it inside out) swinging at her side. No one bothered her as she slipped inside a small grocery store. It would be over an hour before she got back to the hotel room.


Morning came quickly for most trainers who were catching up on their sleep in REAL beds for once. In one room in the Victory Inn two brothers were cuddled close the brunette drooling all over his pillow while the blond slept on his arm.

At the foot of the bed something more worrisome was happening. A yellow fox had scooted closer to a white dog still half asleep and searching for warmth. He had just settled down again and was dozing off when- "Ab....sol..." Snored the dog as it rolled over.... right on top of fox.

"JOLT!" Cried the yellow fox, fur bristling in surprise and fright.
Red eyes snapped open as the pain registered. "ABSOL!" The dog went careening off the bed and stepped on a mass of fluffy tails.

[Rikugurl]

The silverette shivered as she was pinned to the wall from the ice, her teeth chattering as she looked up at her loyal pokemon. "M-m-m-m-m-missy....g-g-g-go g-get ssssome help...."
The ghost nodded only to look back at the wall, her eyes narrowing before disappearing and finding other guards to come aid.

Ventus nodded as he and Haunter rushed off from Aqua and Glaceon, heading to an alley. He passed Persians, and even a snubbull before finding a place to hide. The blonde sighed before reaching to his side where his belt held his pokeballs. All of them had an 'R' on them except one. The last one was taken before he pointed it at Haunter. "In you go!"

The ghost looked sad as his detached hands drooped. "Haun---"
"Now!" The ghost sighed but was over come by a flash of light as it turned into the energy to return to the ball.

Moments later, a blonde boy with a mohawk walked out of the ally in some punk clothing, a yellow sheep by his side. "Maaa~~" She called happily as they walked down the street next to her trainer.


The morning was quiet and the sun was trying to peer through the blinds and curtains of the full motel room. A redhead tossed in his bed, his long legs sticking out of the bottom. He was dreaming about lounging in the hot springs once more when all of a sudden his green eyes snapped open.

"JOLT!"

He quickly sat up in bed, just as Absol fell onto his Ninetails.
"TAILS!" She cried as her tails were stepped on. She too quickly sat up and looked behind her at the pokemon who dared do that. "Niiiine...." She growled as her red eyes started to glow, ready to put a curse on the Absol when---
"Ninetails!"
She blinked and looked up at her trainer, whimpering.

[Reno]

Absol growled at the other as the eyes glowed, the dog started to hunch down, looking ready to attack.

All the commotion woke up Roxas as well who sat up looking around in a panic. "What's going on?!" He took one look at the fight that was about to ensue and snapped. "Absol!" The dog flinched and looked at it's master, also whining.

Jolteon watched the scene from the safety of the bed, snickering but quickly shut it as he got glares from the other two Pokemon. The yellow ears flopped - it wasn't his fault! Absol fell on HIM!

All the while Sora slept away, wrapping his arms around Roxas' waist, sleepily saying, "Lollipops make good ice cream toppings..." The blonde twitched and shoved his sibling off of the bed.
"AAAH!" Seconds later the wild-spikes poked up from the other side of the bed looking around frantically. "W-Whats happening?! Are we getting attacked?!"

He got dull looks all around, even from the Pokemon!, and the brunette tilted his head, confused. "What?"
"Jolt jolt!" Jolteon yipped as it jumped from the bed and landed in its master's lap. Sora just laughed, petting at the other's fur, a little worried when he noticed how bristly it was. He took some extra special care to help make the spikes settle down but they felt charged with electricity so the effort was useless. "Hey you okay there pal?"
"Jolteon!" The fox said, sending accusing glares towards Absol. The dog looked away and huffed.

"Ugh, who cares." Roxas just complained grabbing the bedsheet and fell to the bed, pulling it over his head. "Good night!"

[Rikugurl]

Ninetails pulled her tails away before jumping up onto her master's bed, her tails all in his face. The redhead spitted some fur from his mouth as he pushed them down and looked over at the brothers. With a sigh, he slowly laid bad down, feeling Ninetails on his feet, getting comfy as well.

His green eyes were about to close when he caught the sight of the clock that was on the nightstand.
8:31[/i]
"SHIT!" He shot out of bed, the fox flying through the air. "NIIIIIINE!"
Luckily she landed on all fours but looked back at her master in panic.

"We're late!" He called as he started to rush around, grabbing some clothes from his bag and headed straight for the bathroom to change. "Tails!" The fox circled as confusion and panic started to fill the room.[/color]

[Reno]

Absol scoffed and jumped on the bed bedside his trainer, getting under the covers and snuggling by his side. Roxas grinned and grabbing his arms around his Pokemon, burying his head in the others flank and sighing happily.

Sora blinked looking at the two trainers who were heading back off to bed - so why did he get so rudely awakened?! - and chuckled at Jolteon shrugging helplessly. Well they could always go out for a nice-

Everyone jumped at Axel's yell. "What!?" Cried the twins as they took a glance at the clock.
"Ah!!" They yelped. They were INCREDIBLY LATE!

Jolteon and Absol quickly rushed out of the way as well as their own trainers began to snatch up clothing and try and get dressed.

In record time three trainers were rushing out the doors and running for the stadium, Sora and Jolteon in the lead despite Axel's long legs and Absol and Ninetails larger frames. The brunette gave a cheeky grin over his shoulder at them all. "Come on you guys! Hurry up!!"
"Jolt jolt!!" Cried his fox, a happy grin over his face as he enjoyed the sprint.


The six burst into the stadium all falling against the table and breathlessly asking the nearest person where to go and such and such, their Pokemon panting beside them. The woman reassured the panicked trainers that all was okay that the preliminaries started late due to a robbery last night.
"A... a robbery?" Sora asked looking up concerned.
The woman nodded, frowning some. "Yes, the police had to come down for finger prints and questioning last night and it lasted for hours and we even have a hole in one of our walls!" She smiled then. "But don't worry everyone's okay! Now names?"

The three gave her there names. She nodded and took out a map. She spoke with them quietly showing them which preliminary stage (of which the total was ten) that would be going to - each one of them were going to separate ones which meant they wouldn't be fighting each other quite yet. "But first you must take your Pokemon here to get inspected." She said, pointing to a separate room. "Just follow the signs and you won't get lost."
Roxas groaned. "Even with signs I always get lost!"

Sora laughed and thanked the woman, grabbing his siblings arm and dragging him off.

[Rikugurl]

Axel came out of the bathroom only for the twins to fight over who was next. While they were, Axel quickly brushed Ninetails out and pushed his glasses onto his face.
With some Pokeblocks given, the six rushed out of the motel and towards the stadium. He couldn't believe they were late!

When they burst in, he straightened and coughed a bit before looking around. "Nine~~" He glanced down and smiled as he saw his Ninetails's chest puff out proudly but his attention was caught when he heard about a robbery. A robbery? What exactly was taken? He could only frown, wondering if any of their information were hacked. Could this be the work of Team Rocket or other less known crime organizations.... or was it just some kids wanting to see what was going on.

He couldn't get any more details.... sure he wouldn't be able to any ways when he watched Sora drag Roxas off. "Hey! Wait for me!"


"Yes, what a nice looking Umbreon." The blonde wearing sleek sunglasses said as he inspected the dark pokemon. "Umbre." The red eyes looked over, a serious look on its face.
The blonde only smile nervously before looking over it at the trainer. Still, his face was hidden from sight.
"S-so, you won this Eevee in that gold coin event, huh?"
There was no answer.

The blue eyes behind the glasses frowned but they widened when he saw certain trainers rushing into the room.
SHIT!
He looked around quickly before nodding at the hooded figure. "Alright, you're all set!" He looked at the woman who was inspecting another pokemon on a table next to him and grinned nervously.
"I have to go to the bathroom..." He said as he secretly pointed to his brothers... and quickly raced out of the room on the opposite side.

The hooded figure nodded before turning, the Umbreon jumping off the table and walked to his side before they both started heading out the door that Sora, Roxas and Axel were coming from.
The redhead stopped and glanced at the hooded figure. Still the same get up...?

[Reno]

Sora laughed as he walked into the room, dragging his poor brother along. He blinked as the hooded figure walked past with his Umbreon and he tilted his head, but even still he smiled and waved. "Hey, good luck!!" The hooded figure seemed to look back and Sora offered the man a happy grin.

"You're raticate's in great condition." Aqua said to another trainer nodding. "You can go." The other said his thanks and hurried out just as Ven did as well. Aqua's eyes narrowed behind her glasses and she turned to the other trainers, pulling a smile.

"Alright, you with the Absol come here." Aqua said, spotting the identical the quickest. She needed to get the brothers Pokemon checked and out of here as soon as possible. She also noted... that the Moltres trainer was here.

"Um... Okay." Roxas said unsure as he stepped forward with his Pokemon. He went over to the inspector, looking uncertain. He looked over at Absol and nodded. "Okay you first."
The dog tilted its head curiously then growled at Aqua when she reached out to touch him, snapping at her before hiding behind his trainer. Roxas slapped himself in the forehead and sighed. "Absol!"

Aqua flinched as the teeth came for her, making it out with her fingers just in time. She had have the mind to hiss back at the thing but remembered she was still in acting mode. "Difficult one isn't he? Let's do him last."

Roxas sighed but nodded. "Sorry..." He grabbed another pokeball from his belt. "Flareon go!" A flame Pokemon appeared with a royal red coat, long ears, and a tuft of a collar and atop it's head resembling an Eevee but more grown and colored differently. The Pokemon yawned, it's white fluffy tail shaking behind her.
Jolteon's ears perked and he jumped up in excitement. "Jolt!"

Flareon blinked turning her head and smiled. "Flaaaare~" The Pokemon said harmoniously, starting towards the other.
"Flareon! Come back here. You can play after."
Sora laughed softly as Jolteon got depressed, whining some and he pet him on the head. The red fox's ears also dropped as it resignedly sat in front of the inspector again, going through the routine quickly. Walking and running and showing her a small flame attack.
"Alright she looks to be in tip-top shape. Next."
"Flaaare!" Flareon said happily before speeding off and tackling Jolteon excitedly, giving the other happy licks on the muzzle while she heard her trainer call out his Glameow.
"Jooool!" The Jolteon said happily giving her a nuzzle.

Sora grinned happily crouching down. "Hey Flareon remember me?"
The red fox looked up and her eyes glowed in excitement. "Flaaare!" She pounced from Jolteon into Sora's arms giving him some licks on the cheek in greeting. The brunette laughed petting her happily. "It's nice to see you too!"
Flareon looked up at Axel when he crouched down as well, barking in greeting, nuzzling against his hand when he reached out to touch her.

Aqua inspected the next four Pokemon - a cat, a weasel, a metal bird and a mongoose - pronouncing them all to be in good health. "Alright now for that Absol."
Absol growled and looked away.
"Not going to make it easy is he?"
"Never does." Roxas sighed.
"Alright, you're gonna have to help me." In the end, Aqua had Roxas lead Absol around the room in a walk and then a run, then had the blonde help her check his teeth, paws, and eyes all without actually touching the Pokemon herself. She nodded. "Alright you're set. you're Pokemon are in great condition."
Roxas smiled and thanked her, headed back over to the others, chuckling when he found Jolteon and Flareon tumbling around on the ground playfully.

"Next!"
"Oh I'll go!" Sora said excitedly, hurrying forward. "Come on Jolteon!"
"Joool!" the yellow fox complained, but wiggled out from under Flareon even despite her protests and hurried to his master's side proudly showing off his spikes for the inspector.

[Rikugurl]

Axel smiled as he watched the Absol. Guess it really wasn't just him. That made him feel a bit better. He still forgot the feeling of being rejected by a pokemon... no matter how kind you are to them. Those stupid trainers... making pokemon feel like all humans are cruel. If he could get his hands on them...

His eyes widened when he heard a familiar call though and looked up. A Flareon!?
A large smile ran over his face as his pokemon barked happily, seeing another fire pokemon.

He could only smile as she rush over when her inspection was done. The nature of the Flareon made Axel smile even more... and her fur was a beautiful, shiny red. She was taken care of very well, much like the Absol he had seen.
"Hey girl..." He sang softly as he knelt down and reached out for her. He could only laugh as he felt the Flareon nuzzle him. "You're really beautiful." He complemented before blinking.

"Nine, nine!" The fox was suddenly next to Flareon, licking some of her fluffy fur happily.


When Sora rushed off with his Jolteon, the redhead stood and smiled as Roxas came back over. "You're Flareon is so soft and happy. You know... being a fire trainer myself, I've always wanted an Flareon... well, until I talked to Flannery. She told me that having the same element would be my biggest weakness really... but I'm so glad that I'm able to see such a beautiful and healthy one as this one." He smiled more at the fox before looking at Roxas, seeing the blush on his face. "You're really a great trainer... even if your sense of direction is off... at least all your Pokemon love you and are willing to help you on your way. That's what really matters."

After some chatting, the blue haired woman called over the redhead.
Their hair gave them away to what element they were...
"Come on~" He called to Ninetails and they walked up to the woman. "Hello, the name's Axel Xipil. Got it memorized?" He joked before patting on the table. Ninetails jumped up and smiled as she stood proudly.

When the woman was done checking Ninetails out, she asked for another pokemon. With the sunglasses in the way, he couldn't see an odd gleam in her eye.
"Alright."
He reached for his cloth belt before pulling off a small pokeball and pressing a button, letting it expand in his hand.
"Come out Vaporeon!"
Everyone's eyes widened as they heard the call. A water pokemon? But...

"VAAA!!" An odd looking Pokemon jumped onto the floor and shook it's head. It's webbed like ears moved as he heard some sounds from the distance... and looked back. Black eyes widened as he saw the Flareon and Jolteon. "POREON!" He barked happily before quickly frolicking towards them. "Huh?" Axel blinked as he watched them all pounce on each other.
What was going on? Did his Vaporeon know the others?
