Meeting in the Meadow (OPEN)

[Game Junkie 404]

"I hope we don't run into any hostile Pokeclans," said Dyana, "I don't like fighting..." Rimitsu's ears twitched. "But you have to fight, it's the only way to gain experience!"

She frowned, sticking her tongue at him childishly, tasting the grass and chewing on a bit of it. At just six moons old, she was allowed to act that way. "Yeah, but you can get killed. I'd rather live, thanks." Her twin sighed. He worried about her, but he knew that someday they wouldn't be together anymore.

The two padded across the plain in silence, the short slender green blades of grass coming up to Dyana's nose, making most of her speech muffled. "You know," Rimitsu laughed, "I doubt anyone can see us. This grass nearly hides your whole body!" She laughed too. "At least I won't get hungry. Grass this lush is such a lovely snack...:

Rimitsu shook his head and then stopped in his tracks.

"Dyana! Wait!" he hissed. "There's someone up ahead!" She stopped. "Who?" He stood on his hind legs for a moment and slammed his forelimbs down into the earth with a THUD! "Can't tell. Whoever they are, they're alone, that's all I know."

Chelsea could not help but laugh, the red black and orange eevee thought a little."Better have my fun now," she giggled.She used a shadow ball, aiming it at the eevees.As soon as it landed, it burst out."Time for my act to come in play,"she laughed. She slowly grabed a Oran berry, smearing it like paint on her cheeks.She covered the tip of her tail which was orange, also her tuff at her hair, and at the end of her paws.Ok then everyting ready, good,she thought.

She jumped out in clear veiw,"what are you doing here!"She said looking as mean as a eevee could,"well."She looked at the with a stern face, her eyes narrowed.

[Game Junkie 404]

Dyana shrieked as the Shadow Ball came their way, narrowly missing being hit. She crouched behind her brother, tiny little thing that she was. Rimitsu saw a black Eevee with what looked like red splotches of fur. On closer inspection, he realized it was just berry juice. Who was this Eevee? Perhaps they were territorial... he should've listened to Dyana when he had the chance.

He stood on, all four legs splayed, silky brown fur bristling. "We're just travelers. We mean you or your land no harm!" Flattening his ears, Rimitsu growled softly, Dyana behind him. But Dyana did something that surprised him. Dyana walked up beside him and stood, her almost white chest fur puffing out.

"We're looking for anyone that will teach us. We've come a long way, but no one seems to have the time." She looked the Eevee up and down. "You seem pretty strong. What was that attack you just used?" And could this Eevee teach it to them?

[Cross]

"Teach you huh,"Chelsea said still with a stern voice.She kept her head high, looking as tall as she could."And what would you wish to learn,"she asked.She circled the eevees, looking over them.They were young, she could tell."So what are you, friends brother and sisters,"she said.

She sniffed at them, waveing her tail around."Well the attack i used was a shadow ball if you wish to know,"she said with a frown.She aimed to the sky, letting out a large shadow ball.She the jumped in the air, fliping, and hitting it with a strong Tail Whip.It landed beside the eevees, as she droped lightly on her paws."Now do you still want to mess with me hmm,"she said sternly.

[Game Junkie 404]

"We're twins," said Dyana flatly, "we'll learn anything anyone's willing to teach us." Rimitsu kicked at the dirt blowing towards the other Eevee. "We know enough to keep us alive, but if we want to be strong when we evolve, we need fighting experience. Better attacks. Tactics." His ears flattened themselves again, and Dyana's eyes narrowed.

"Shadow Ball? Would one of us ever learn that?" Rimitsu shook his head. "Not even if one of us became an Umbreon." He heard the other Eevee shoot something, and, by some unknown instinct, he jumped back using his hind legs to do so. He landed perfectly and all four legs, creating imperfections on the flat brown earth. Dyana gasped quietly, but did not let the opposing Eevee hear.

She shook her head sharply, spraying the dirt lodged in her fur from the attack. "We never said we wanted to oppose you." Her voice was quiet and ominous. "But if you don't teach us, we'll not trouble you any more." She looked into the eyes of the Eevee, her own eyes far-off, yet somehow still fixed on the black-furred creature.

Chelsea sighed, then turned away."If you want to know nhow to use a shadow ball,"she started."You have to have th strength to use it,"she said."Now if i may start,"she said turning back to the eevees."These are the moves i know, one Shadow Ball, two Tail Whip, three body slam, four dig,"she said.This may be fun after all,she thought changeing her personality was easy.

"Now if you even know this,"Chelsea said."Most pokemon have claws, such as a Weavile,"she said."But if you dont know we have claws too,"she said her short sharp claw retracting out."It is a uniqe trait though,"she said."Tell me what your family historys are, and mix breeds,"she asked.

"You have to be purely bred sometimes, but in other cases if you have a family member with a large amount of power, that may influnce your battle moves,"she said.She grabed a Peacha berry, clawing off the skin, and eating the sweet part, chewing, she looked at the pair.

[Game Junkie 404]

Dyana thought for a bit. "Mama came from Berrytree Groves. She grew up with a pack of Eevees, Eevee evolutions and she learned to heal using Berries. Mama was sent by our elder to Treeko Peak for her Stone Challenge, and when she came through the other side of Berry Hollow, she was given a Water Stone. She told us that she didn't use it right away, she got stronger and stronger and THEN she used it."

Rimitsu was a little nervous. "Should we be telling a stranger about all this?" The uneasiness in his voice was only slightly apparent. "Yes," Dyana shot back, "she asked, so we tell. Do you want to learn something?" He huffed. He didn't trust this Eevee.

"Where did Papa come from?" Rimitsu's ears perked up sharply. "From the Alpine Meadow. His line was bred to be warriors, strong, powerful, but highly resourceful. He traveled all over Erymire from the day he could fight, and it wasn't until he met Mother that he settled. I don't remember how he became a Jolteon, though." Dyana hummed something and turned back to the black Eevee.

"Papa was a Jolteon before he met mother... he must have fought for his stone, or found it in a Murkrow's nest. They do like shny things..." She shook herself and looked up, her eyes narrowing.

"Hmm,"she said closeing her eyes thinking."Since you can fron a Electricity and Water pokemon, but so close to eevees though you are pure bred,"she chuckled."You should have strong moves of your own,"she said."Hmm maybe i should pull them out now,"she said."I have been saveing these but it those not matter,"she said.Chelsea dug into the ground, after a while, she came back , with something in her mouth.

"I made these my self,"she said with a laugh.What was in her mouth was a black collor, with red spikes, and a R hanging on it.She put it around her neck."Now if you want to train with me, put this on,"she said hanging the two collors infront of them.

[Game Junkie 404]

The pair looked at one another. Should they go for it? Dyana cocked her head at Rimitsu, as if she wanted permission. He looked the collars skeptically. "You made them? So you come from the Southlands?" The Southlands were where the humans lived. They were completely unaware of Erymire as far as he knew, and they probably didn't even know it existed. Collars were human things, symbols of onwership. Rimitsu looked up. "Even if you don't come from there, you probably got the materials from someone who came from there." He looked over to his sister.

"Sure, we'll wear them." Dyana giggled. "I think they're cute. Makes us look different from everyone else." Different, Rimitsu sighed in his head, sure. Different how? It didn't really matter anymore, he thought, slipping it on roughly, they would be trained. At least they had that.

[Cross]

Chelsea hid a smile, letting the two eevees put the collors on.

"Now if i may explain the collors,"she started."They will not come off untill you are finish with your training,"she chuckled."Now if you wish to train with me you must work hard,"she said stareing at the distance."There will be no questions asked got it,"she said looking back at them with a grim face."Understand good,"she said scracthing her ear.
"Anyway tll me what you like to learn, and i will see what you need,"she yawned.

[Game Junkie 404]

Dyana looked back at Rimitsu. "Was there anything specific you wanted to learn, Oni-chan?" Feeling heat rush to his furry cheeks he ducked his head. "I'm only older than you by a few minutes, Dyana... don't call me that..." She nuzzled him gently with her nose. "C'mon, what do you want to learn?"

He looked up at the black Eevee. "I like that Shadow Ball attack. and Dig might be useful too. You, sis?" Dyana thought a moment, and looked up. "Bite," she said firmly, "and Quick Attack. I wanna be able to cause damage and get away fast." Rimitsu cocked his head towards the black Eevee. "But attacks themselves aren't enough. We need to be able to combine them, use them with planning and tact." His eyes flickered over to Dyana. "We'll work hard as long as you teach us this."

Rimitsu was very intelligent for his age, and he was using every little thing he knew about being persuasive and setting down first impressions. She'd set hers down with her first attack; demanding and a fighter. They now had to set theirs; they would not back down from this no matter what, but when they were done with each other, they were done. He could only hope Dyana felt the same.

[Cross]

"So then here is something you may want to learn,"she said.She turned and retracted her claws, aiming at the female eevee's cheek, she wondered of you hit."Always keep your guard,"she said.Her eyes narrowed,"now i want you to show me something first."

"Hit me with all you got,"she said spreading out her legs in fighting position."And remember no mercy,"she said stomping her paw down hard on the ground.

[Game Junkie 404]

Dyana flinched from the sting of the scratch. Her skin felt puffy, with tingles of pain all over. Uncalled for! She growled. "Hit me with all you got," the black Eevee taunted, "and remember, no mercy!" She retracted her own claws and scratched at a patch of dirt furiously, preparing a run, her back paws digging up dirt behind her.

Rimitsu watched as she sprinted, faster than he'd ever seen her go. Dyana could feel her breath rattling inside her chest, her heart thudding against her ribcage, desperately trying to move the oxygen to her muscles. About two feet before she would've hit the Eevee, she jumped high in the air, landing a hit on the Eevee's shoulder. Her jaws clamped down tightly, and shook her head from side to side in an attempt to tear the flesh.

Rimitsu knew it was only a matter of time before she was thrown off.

[Cross]

"Ha you are expecting me to throw you off,"Chelsea said.She jumped in the air, and slamed on her side, causeing the eevee the slam her head on the ground.She repeated this until the eevee let go,"this time try harder!"
"I ain't going to show mercy and you should not etheir,"Chelsea snaped looking down at the eevee."Try harder think faster!"she lectured.She tryed to get a good hold of the eevees neck, trying to throw her into the dirt."Now stop playing with me and give it your all,"she comanded.

[Game Junkie 404]

Rimitsu's inner core throbbed. Sister! She couldn't get away to attack! Dyana was a hit and run, or hit and cling attacker; she needed more tactics. He pawed at the dirt, wanting desperately to get in the fight; already he could feel the adrenaline coarsing through him. But something held him back. This was her fight.

Dyana was very lucky her white collar of fur was so thick, or her jugular would have been pierced for sure. She was bruised, battered, and very dirty, but she had to somehow pin the Eevee down. Blood dripped from her nose and stained parts of the green blades of grass. She had to move; and quickly.

As soon as she was able she sprinted away from the Eevee, more and more dust being kicked up behind her. The dust, she thought, she could do something with that. She proceeded to run around and around the Eevee as fast as she could, creating a swirling cloud of dust. Smiling inwardly, Dyana whipped the dust with her tail toward the center. Now she couldn't see. She was proud of herself. But this was temporary, she needed something else, fast. Think faster! the Eevee's voice reminded her.

She nodded. Think faster. She started running again, and once she could see the Eevee's outline through the dust cloud, she gathered up all her strength and dashed head on. When she met her target, she felt all her power brushing up against her foe. What a rush! Fighting wasn't so bad after all, once you knew how.

[Cross]

Chelseas eyes stinged from the dust, she could not think as she coughed up.Something hit her hard, and she was thrown back.She quickly got up, and glanced around."Not to bad,"she said.She then threw a Shadow ball at the cloud of dust, it split it up, makeing the cloud dissapear.The small eevee was revealed, Chelsea made a sly smile.

She quickly used a dig, running under ground.Her paws clawed at the hard earth, as she scraped it away.She quickly sprang behind the eevee, attempting to grab her tail with a good bite.

[Game Junkie 404]

Dyana panicked when the black Eevee went undergroud. Dig, blast it! At first, she looked back and forth, not sure what to do, until she heard a rhythmic puh, puh, puh from below the earth. She closed her eyes, listening for it, her ears up and still, trying to pinpoint its direction. It stopped only a few feet behind her, to her right, and she turned, sharply.

Up came the Eevee, and she jumped behind her. Assuming that she was trying to attack her back, she turned and jumped, butting heads with her opponent. She recoiled, shaking her head, swearing she could hear something ringing inside, and then getting back up. "That's what you get for trying to attack me from behind, cheater." She charged again, clawing and scratching. She jumped back before she could get hit, and hopped back and forth, waiting for the next array of blows.

[Game Junkie 404]

Rimitsu watched his sister fight and he realized something. They could do just as well as they wanted on their own. He walked past the black Eevee and up to his sister. "You're amazing already, sis. We don't need to train. But perhaps we should thank this one," he nodded back to the Eevee, "for her trouble." They shook themselves out of their collars, and walked up to the Eevee.

"Sorry we wasted your time, friend," said Rimitsu, "but we've reconsidered your offer. I'm terribly sorry for that as well. I'm sure, though, with a little manners, you'd make a great teacher. Maybe someday we'll find you and repay you for this. We needed it. Right, Dyana." "Right, Ri. Hope you meet others who are actually a bit of a challenge. Thanks for everything." Dyana nodded softly at the Eevee, and gave it a gentle lick on the shoulder. "Someday we'll meet again, when we're stronger. And then we'll really fight."

And with that, the pair padded off into the grass, leaving as quietly as they'd come.

(I wanted to RP with these two somewhere else and Pokemon can only have one post at a time, so... yeah. You can continue this post if you'd like, though.)

Juila padded through the tall grass, her soft fur snagging on thorns. "Oh, why did that Charizard find my parents in the first place?", she asked herself bitterly. She stopped, and listened for any noises. The only sound was of the wind blowing through the grass. She sighed, and sat down, her belly rumbling.

Juila pricked her ears as a small thud shook the ground under her. "Who's there?", she asked, her eyes widening with fright. She scanned the land in front of her, but she couldn't see anything.

(sorry it is short, I am new to this)

[briaka]

When no one replied, Juila shook herself, and got to her paws again. She made her way farther into the field of grass, her ears still pricked nervously. Her belly rumbled again, reminding her that she hadn't eaten for a few days. She sniffed the air with her nose, but there were no small pokemon nearby.

There was another scent though. It was fiery, and it reminded her of the Charizard that had ruined her life. She shuddered, and took another few steps forward. Suddenly, flame erupted before her eyes, and she yelled as it scorched her fur. She took a deep breath, and returned the attack with Ember. She heard a small squeak, then all was quiet.

"H-Hello?", Juila called, her voice shaking slightly. "Hi", was the small answer. Juila ventured forward, and a Cyndiquil came into view. The Cyndiquil looked up at her. "Who are you?", it asked shyly. Juila sat down. "I'm Juila!", she replied happily, glad to have finally found someone to talk too. The Cyndiquil smiled. "My name is Flicker.", she said, then looked at the ground. "I'm sorry for attacking you.", Flicker continued.

Juila smiled back. "It's fine.", she replied, then stood again. "I...do you want to travel with me?", Juila asked. Flicker sighed, and shook her head. "No, I have to get back to my parents, they must be worried about me.", she said, then ran off into the grass. Juila watched her go, her heart heavy. "At least you have parents.", she whispered, then made her way out of the meadow.

(I'm going too, I want to post somewhere else)
