Pokémon Alexandrite

(I do, but I was responding to what your character was saying earlier. which i didn't do yet and this is the post I was responding to.)

Sounds like good advice to me..., oh, and then you decided that answering questions was a bad idea. So, yeah..."

(The conversation had already moved past that.)

May was getting frustrated with Luna and Venus and she tells them (again) "this would be a good time to run, unless of course you can beat it with your Pokemon." Then may turns to [whoever Jeffery is] (sorry internet is starting to get on my nerves) "which way do we go?"

Suddenly, the air starts to get stiff and the the ground begins to shake.

"Anywhere that gets us away from here!" Aaron says.

Suddenly Wattson and Morty come around the corner, covered in wounds.

"All of you, this way!"

(lol freudian slip)

Dawn, not bothering to answer May seeing as the Gym LEaders have done so already, runs that way.

May just follows Dawns lead, she does not care where to run anymore as long as she didn't have to battle the electrode. As fate would have it however she trips over a crack and falls into Dawn. She wastes valuable time struggling to stand up. When she finally does get up the electrode is just a few feet behind her. She reaches out a hand to Dawn "Sorry about that, here take my hand QUICK!"

[Whoa whoa whoa. The Electrode is under DAVE'S control, Paul. RPing protip: Don't control someone else's character/monster/plot device/thing. It's called puppeteering and it's one of the fastest ways to piss somebody off.]

Dawn accepted the hand from May and was pulled to her feet. "Thanks." She quickly broke into a run again, ignoring the pain from having slammed her head into the ground.

(sorry about that)

(The Electrode is still in the room)

Suddenly, the shaking stops.

"Get down!"

Aaron leaps to ground, covering his head. The gym leaders follow his lead.

Venus mimics her compatriots, with some uncertainty.

Dawn something like trips to the ground, given that she was running.

Just as Dawn hits the ground, the air fills with the sound of a colossal explosion. The entirety of the tunnel that the group came from fills with the fire of explosion as the passage is consumed in the black flames. As the flames die down, the ceiling of the passageway collapses, leaving no way to go back.

"Well. That was fun." Venus says brushing the debris of the explosion off of herself. "Who votes we get strong enough to fight something like that, and maybe befriend it, instead of just letting it explode pointlessly next time?" She raises her hand.

"Sure, if we have time to befriend it before it blows up" said May, dusting herself of "I think we should move headquarters, for it seems they have found us."

"You think?" Dawn said rather drily. "Where should we move our 'headquarters' to?"

"Well," Venus says, equally dryly, "Either they found us, or we just got attacked by two wild shadow pokémon, and given the chances of that, I'd say we've been found."

"As to where to 'move our headquarters to' I rather agree with Luna's idea; we probably shouldn't have a headquarters right now; instead, I suggest we follow Morty's plan:

Sheogorath wrote: "I think the best course of action currently is to stay within Johto, to prevent too much separation, and to stick to larger than two-people groups. With the increase in activity from Team Rocket, two could easily get overwhelmed. As for those groups, Venus, Dawn, and I shall head to Mt. Silver to establish a base of operations. Wattson, Aaron, and Luna, you will travel to the safari zone on west part of Johto, in order to gather pokemon and supplies, as a market was, and may still be, set up there. Any questions?"

"That would both get us a new base of operations, and make us all stronger. However, I'd suggest a slight change in the plan. Perhaps since the gym leaders are stronger than us, and Luna says Mt. Silver is very dangerous, they could go there to start setting up our base, and we could all go to the Safari market, and maybe just take one of the gym leaders with us."

"That way we could all train together, and discuss things. Although, we could do it either way. What do you all think?"

"it is a lot better than the first plan you came up with. And Giving us ample time to train and grow. Alright I think we should head to the Safari zone." Luna says Brushing dirt off of her sac. Pichu sits on her shoulder and nods in agreement.

Luna looks behind her at the ruined tunnel behind them. "I got nowhere else to go anyways…"

"Sounds good to me."

Aaron finally stands, a little dizzy,

"Lets get going."

He stumbles, catching himself before he falls over.

Luna walks over and helps him up. "Take it easy, your still hurt."

"Let's go." Dawn said, feeling more than a little nervous about staying in the same place for any amount of time right about now.

(Are we going with the version where all the kids stick together, or where they split up?)

"Here," Venus says, "this might help some while you're recovering, Aaron."

Venus squats down and pats Metang, and then indicates Aaron, "Can you carry him for a while?"

Metang nods (which looks kind of like a bow, because his head and body are one) and uses confusion to lift and carry Aaron. (Or to stabilize him, if you prefer, Dave.)

Venus turns and leads the way, walking out down the tunnel. Metang follows with (helping?) Aaron.

Luna picks up her pack and rummages inside pulling out an apple. "Well This isn't good. We might need to stock up on some supplies before we really start going." She looks back at the rubble, and sighs. She closes her pack and slings it down her side. She scoops up Pichu and walks behind them.

Suddenly, an explosion of dirt and stone erupts in front of the group. When the dust clears, A group of Drillbur block the way. Aaron shudders and points to the one in the front, which is slightly larger than the rest.

"It's a Shadow Pokemon!"

The Drillbur clank their claws together and begin to advance on the group.
