Just a rest

[Ninetails93]

James sat on the grass. A breeze had began to blow over the land. His tails swished in the breeze as he watched the sky, keeping an ear and eye open for pokemon. There were a few clouds in the sky, but nothing really different. As he watched the clouds, a figure showed up, a Ninetails. He sighed as he daydreamed of becoming a Ninetails.

[o~|*( |*/\/\*|~o]

Rhyme, emerging from the Berry forest nearby, stretched. It had been a few days since she had seen the sun, berry trees could get tall, you know. As the scanned the area, she spotted a Vulpix sitting on a patch of grass. She didn't want to scaare the pup, but she didn't really want to introduce herself or break the serene quiet, not yet. Rhyme moved to about ten feet from the Vulpix, her tails curled around her legs and she sighed quietly. "..."

[Sephalesh]

Asaru, a young abra, woke up suddenly to a new presence. He saw a vulpix, but not the other pokemon. It scared him, like he was always scared whenever he was woken up. Asaru cleared his tiny throat. "good morning." He said, voice relaxed. He always sounded relaxed no matter what he felt inside.

[o~|*( |*/\/\*|~o]

Rhyme turned, her ears catching the Abra's words. Looking back to meet the voice, she took a step towards the Abra, putting herself between the two Pokemon. "Good morning to you, also." she replied, her voice calm and cool as she smiled.

[Ninetails93]

James flipped up onto his feet and stood in a ready position. When he realised that there was no danger, he replied:"Good morning to you..." He couldn't tell if he could trust them or not, so he stayed standing.

[Sephalesh]

Asaru made no move. If he had to move, he would just teleport. His eyes moved lazily to each of the pokemon as they spoke. He had no idea what kind of pokemon either was. As an Abra, he had only been alive for less than a year, and the world still scared him half to death all the time. Inside he was screaming 'their bloody going to eat me. EAT ME!!!' unlike his inner emotions, his voice was calm when he spoke again. "Hello. Do you come here often?"

[o~|*( |*/\/\*|~o]

Rhyme eyed James. She remembered the few hours of her state as a Vulpix, it was really a blur, she only recognized her parents. Then, everything shifter to life as a Muravix, the resentful protection of her Ninetails parents and pack, and eventually their removal, which forced the pack to wander Erymire. "..." Her expression went from calm to saddened, her two tails slowing their lapping at her side.

[Sephalesh]

Asaru tilted his head to the side, a gesture of puzzlement. He could figure out that they were somehow related. they looked similar in many ways, but they didn't seem to know each other. "Do you two know each other?" Asaru asked curiously. He noticed that the bigger one seemed to be watching the other pokemon with a look of sadness. He wondered what that could be.

[o~|*( |*/\/\*|~o]

"No... I have no relation to him." Rhyme replied, shaking off her sadness, "I used to be like him; a Vulpix, until I was changed to this.." She looked at the Abra, "Oh... I am Rhyme... And you?"

[Sephalesh]

Asaru shook his head. Wants to know my name so I would be much more delectable. He wasn't going listen to anymore irrational thoughts. "Asaru is my name. What did you man by 'used' to be?" The abra asked. He knew almost nothing about the world, but he was a quick learner.

[o~|*( |*/\/\*|~o]

Rhyme sat and thought about her reply. "I am a special evolution of a Vulpix, not many of us are like this. It's a celecstial evolution." She said, now calmy looking at the Abra and paying little mind to the Vulpix.

[Sephalesh]

Asaru blinked his eyes. Celestial Evolution? What was that supposed to be? He looked up at the sky. Celestial=sky "Why are so few like you? That sounds sad." Asaru said simply. He watched the vulpix, who seemed to be listening too, but the abra couldn't be sure.

[o~|*( |*/\/\*|~o]

Rhyme smiled sadly. "Our evolution is so specific that only about 7 of us even exist."

[Sephalesh]

the Abra's ears perked up. He was still sitting, but this was getting interesting. There was a quick flash, and Asaru was right in front of Rhyme. "Why is that, Rhyme? How could it be that specific." his voice had just a tinge of curiosity, showing how curious he was. If asura showed any emotion another pokemon would be bouncing off the walls because of it.

[o~|*( |*/\/\*|~o]

"Hmm..." she sat, thinking of her answer, "Well... my pack was born under a harvest moon, that is the only way we exist. The onlyother way to become a Muravix is to be present at our moon festival, which is not far off. But any Vulpix that joins us sacrifices all rights to be a Ninetails, meaning we are all they will evolve to."

[Ninetails93]

"I wish to know about this different evolution too..." James said as he ran over. He felt as though he could some what trust these guys,even though he didn't know anything about them. James was interested in his own kind of evolution.

[o~|*( |*/\/\*|~o]

"Ah." Rhyme smiled, "You wish to know about the evolution path of a Vulpix? Tell me what you want to know." she said, teal eyes softly watching the Vulpix. Her ruddy light-tan tails curled around her, lapping infront of her, almost like a cat's.

[Ninetails93]

"Everything, anything...I want to know everything I can about my evolution path..." he said excitedly. He had always wanted to know when and how he would evolve.

[o~|*( |*/\/\*|~o]

"Well, to become a Ninetails, all you need to do is find a Fire Stone. You know what a Nineatials looks like ad the such, right?" she paused for a moment, "But a Muravix, like myself, is evolved under the approaching harvest moon. In my pack, our males are either silver or a pale, creamy yellow and females are the same color as I, but they all have red eyes." she waited a moment to let her words sink in and allow the kit time to ask questions.

[Ninetails93]

"What is the difference between the two pokemon besides their looks???" James asked curiously. He tilted his head in both aw and amazement.

[o~|*( |*/\/\*|~o]

"Unlike Ninetails, we Muravix cannot use fire attacks. We primarily use Normal-typed attacks, so we are more physical in our attacks. We also live in much smaller packs that only come together once or twice a year, unless we have our mates. Then they travel together." she said, thinking about what she was going to add, "We also can only evolve from Vulpix once a year, while any Vulpix can find a fire stone and evolve to a Ninetails."

[Ninetails93]

"Oh...I see...so you guys get up and personal with your attacks...I thought that us vulpix's could only evolve into Ninetails through a Fire Stone..." James said slightly confused. He was still dreaming of all the fire-based attacks he could learn as a Ninetails.

[o~|*( |*/\/\*|~o]

"Yes, but only certain Vulpix even have the ability to evolve into a Muravix. Our pack were the first, btu we had no choice, we evolved only about an hour after birth." Rhyme replied.

[Ninetails93]

"Oh...but why did you evolve after an hour of birth???"James said now totally confused. He understood most evolutions and why but this was one he had no idea about.

[o~|*( |*/\/\*|~o]

"The moon we were born under was a harvest moon, so we evolved quickly." Rhyme paused, sensing confusion on James's face. "Do you need me to clarify anything?"

[Ninetails93]

"But I thought that pokemon that evolve under either the sun or the moon need a certain ability or attack before they could evolve...that is what happened when one of my friends learned Fire Spin and Flamethrower..." he said still slightly confused.

[o~|*( |*/\/\*|~o]

"We don't..." Rhyme began, "... But we are the only of our kind and we evolved young. So even we have no real understanding of our evolution."

[Sephalesh]

Asaru listened patiently. He didn't know much about his own evolution either. He was just never taught that kind of stuff. "I am sure you will figure it out eventually." Asaru said. His voice was as calm as ever, and slightly tired. He had only gotten 16 hours of sleep and was still tired from waking up to early.

[o~|*( |*/\/\*|~o]

Rhyme smiled, not replying, only because her voice was worn. Laying down in the grass, she crossed her front paws and laid her head on them.

[Sephalesh]

Asaru shrugged. He didn't really know what was going on, anyway. "Have you heard of the Crusaders?" Asaru said trying to get the conversation going again. He had heard some other pokemon talking about them. They are so cool, I could just jump up in joy! The little abra ignored the stray thought again. Everything he had heard had been fantastic, but still, he barely knew anything at all.
