[/font]are we waiting for, ya dummies! Lets get in there![/i][/b]" She cried as she cartwheeled forward, and down the path. hesitated, closing his eyes as he took a deep breath as he took in his mistakes of letting her out. Alec followed after, as did he Pokemon, catching up with her at the gates. As he did, he put a hand on her should, and leaned down. "You better be on your best behavior inside. I will ship you back to Jinx if you draw too much attention." He spoke in a stern voice directly into her ear, almost like a parent would. She stood up straight with a grin. "Yes sir!" She agreed, with a salute. Alec didn't buy it for a second. She stayed there in her salute as Alec and Spade passed. But as the Machamp walked in, she hopped onto him, and climbed up in one swift move so she could sit on one of his shoulder.

Alec began into the front room of the Palace, accompanied by one of the staff. If there was any question to how he felt of the Palace, it was gone. The sheer amount of gold he was seeing was over bearing. Even if it wasn't real gold and was just painted on, it was way too much for the male. He knew he was going to steal anything he could safely conceal. He was greatly regretting for leaving Hellsing in the PC. The Haunter would have helped out quite a bit. But he knew he needed to be smart if he did indeed take anything. However, He was going to at least act like a regular party goer, and followed the staff member out towards the courtyard right behind the Palace, and between it and the Maze. The sights seemed to be enough to keep his Pokemon quiet and entertained, and almost was enough to distract Alec.

(First! :O I probably won't be able to post Feb. 10th, so I just wanted to make sure Alec would be here in case everything was actually starting on the 10th. I didn't know where you wanted anyone to be, or the start of the event to be so Alec can be changed to anywhere)

[/font][/b]" He spoke to Spade. The tall male wasn't sure what he was really expecting, they weren't going to throw a wild party at the Parfum Palace, but he was hoping to at least have some fun. However he mentioned leaving, and Harley's head snapped towards his direction. "But we're walking the maze first right?" Harley questioned with an uneasiness to her voice, as though she were keeping her excitement hidden. "Sure, why not?" Alec shrugged as he stood and began walking towards the maze with Harley's cheers behind him. They began through the courtyard, and as they grew closer to the Maze, an Audino hobbled out of the shrubbery. "Piotr put it back in the bush." Alec commanded calmly as he walked past the normal type. The muscle Pokemon knew Alec wanted him to attack it, but the little pink Pokemon just looked at him and smiled. With a glance towards Alec and then back before quickly picked him up and pushed him back into the bush before quickly running back to the group. "Ya big softy" Harley joked, still sitting on her shoulder. The Machamp shushed her as he caught up to the group.

Hanako Lucali

By the time Hanako reached Parfum Palace her lungs felt as if they were going to give out. The poor girl was struggling to catch her breath. Ember grabbed her as soon as he caught up to her, helping her walk along while they searched for a place where she could sit and rest. He was afraid she would fall if they allowed her to try to get around on her own. Running to the palace had been a mistake. She had no idea where she was going to go from there and she felt as if she had run herself into a dead end. Hanako didn't bother paying attention to her surroundings or where her Pokemon were trying to lead her. She trusted them to keep her safe. Had she been paying attention she might have noticed the other Trainer in his lovely Ringmaster costume and his group of Pokemon. She would have noticed the pretty scenery and the gorgeous flowers. Instead she remained fixed on the ground right up until it rushed up to meet her. Ember was the only thing that kept the exhausted young woman from hitting the ground and accidentally crushing the Flabebe in her hair. He carefully lowered her into the grass, arranging himself so her head could rest in his lap. Her breathing hadn't improved any. The little knight had worn herself out with all of her running. Ember looked around nervously and frowned. Vervain wasn't with them. He hadn't been able to keep up with the ground. The Gardevoir assumed this meant he was where ever Kintaro happened to be right now. This meant he was the one left in charge of Hanako's group of scared and confused Pokemon. Vervain was their leader. He had no idea what to do without the Drilbur. Nearly a minute had passed before Ember took a deep breath then sighed. They couldn't leave her lying in the grass but he was nowhere near strong enough to lift her. "Zinnia, we saw another trainer earlier. He had a Machamp with him. Can you ask the Machamp to help us?" Hanako would not be comfortable with a stranger picking her up but she would be fine if a Pokemon helped her out. The Froakie croaked and hurriedly hopped away, searching for the Machamp in question. Echo hovered awkwardly near Ember, the Rowlet still on his back. He tried to remain still so he didn't bother him more than necessary. The Beldum would have been the logical choice to send out in search of Vervain since he could fly but Ember thought it best to keep him nearby so long as he had the Rowlet. "Sage, you're in charge of finding Vervain." He half expected the Pikachu to run off and not come back at all but he was the only other Pokemon he could send to find the missing Drilbur. There was no way he was going to be able to get the Flabebe in Hana's hair to leave her. She was lecturing the "silly blue bimbo" for running off like she had all while trying to clean up her face with her vines. Citrine didn't seem like the type to admit to being upset but he really couldn't blame her if she was. There was plenty he wanted to say to Llorona- none of which he was willing to say in front of Echo or Deadeye. He had no idea how old they were but both seemed rather young to him. He straightened out Hanako's eye patch and sighed, hoping that Zinnia would return with help or Kintaro and Vervain would find them soon.

Finding the Machamp in question proved to be easy enough. Missing a Pokemon so big would have been impossible! Zinnia winced when he saw him pick up and throw a Sentret, concerned that he might meet the same fate as the unfortunate Pokemon. He considered going right back to Ember and Hanako then. Kintaro was bound to find them soon! He could pick up their squishy trainer and move her somewhere comfortable...and then she would go right back to being miserable when she woke up because she was trying to hide from the others. He let out a distressed croak before hopping right up to the Machamp. He couldn't go back to Hana before he tried to ask for help. "Excuse me! Hi! You're really big!" The Froakie croaked again and hopped in a circle around the Machamp. "Our trainer isn't feeling very good and she fell. Ember isn't strong enough to pick her up and the rest of us are too small. Could you help us move her, please?" He took a few hops away from the Machamp, making sure he was out of grabbing distance. "She's really small so she shouldn't be too hard to move!" Zinnia hesitated before heading back in the direction his trainer was in. He would need to show the Machamp where she was anyway if he agreed to help. He totally wasn't hopping away because he was afraid he might be thrown like the Sentret.

He was in trouble. He deserved it, he knew he deserved it, and yet he didn't feel any more ready to face Hanako next. She had needed his support and he left her to be hurt by someone he still wasn't convinced was worth the reaction. Odyss was also concerned, dashing around the group's perimeter anxiously. Hanako could be anywhere! Kintaro was so slow! The Quilladin would interrupt his patrol to run up to Kintaro and shout insistently at him that they were wasting time by walking! Kintaro only shrugged as if that somehow wasn't his fault. He was still convinced he needed to give Hana more time. Parfum Palace was coming into view all the same and they would find Hanako in perfectly acceptable condition. Maybe that would have reassured Odyss if Kintaro hadn't already told him "perfectly acceptable" and "not dead" were the same value at this point! Odyss wailed again, clanking around as he sprinted toward a small grove and shouted for Hana. Not there! Maybe this bush! No! Attica was getting her nerves frayed, but she patiently followed Kintaro as best she could. Vervain was being carried by Kintaro and for once, Attica was accepting of the big blue bitch getting something she didn't. Vervain was not the worst thing to let Kintaro hold instead of her. She might even be able to say she could tolerate the goofy mole. Mary followed quickly behind Attica, struggling to figure out just how to approach the situation. Hanako was nice, so why weren't they pushing harder to catch up to her? But she was also a girl, and that made her an enemy to Mary and Attica both. Attica didn't see a "both" in her version, but that was OK! Mary planned to take her out too when the time came! Marshall and Jade were stuck in their balls still. Kintaro was not ready for Jade's antics being aware that she did not like him and Marshall was too eager to start fights to let wander around while searching for Hana. They had to find her first. Then Marshall could get himself beat up by the next thing he laid eyes on.

The patience of his party had worn thin by the time they reached Parfum Palace's grounds. Odyss had run out of steam too fast as a result of his frantic searching in every possible place he could think of--and a few that Attica shouted just to see if he was dumb enough to check. Spoiler alert: He checked. He was starving! And thirsty! And tired! The Quilladin whined at Kintaro and the man was reaching his own wit's end with everyone finding their own way to bother him. Gandor, who had managed to remain quiet and out of the way for most of this particular journey was now buzzing near Kintaro's head as if he had suddenly decided he wanted to be noticed and test his limits further still. The end result was Gandor being returned to his ball and Odyss getting the Pokeball thrown at him. WAIT! In his defense, he might have grabbed food if he wasn't carrying Vervain. It was a quick apology while Kintaro knelt down to fish from his bag the thing he'd meant to throw at his Quilladin. The Chikan treat did not stand a chance. Odyss fell over while Kintaro and the girls continued forward. He appeared to be slightly thicker too when he finally finished chowing down. Odyss jumped up and could only waddle slowly after the group. He made a noise that sounded like a cry to wait but also turned into a gurgle of regret. He ate too fast. And they were about to crest a hill! On doing that, Kintaro had to stop himself from gaping at the sight beyond him. Hanako was on the ground, Ember cradling her head, Zinnia was between his trainer and an imposing Machamp. Don't panic. Along with the Machamp were an obscenely colored Medicham and a Roserade. Don't panic. There was a man near her. Kintaro initially mistook him for something small from his crouched position. He surely did not look like somebody that Hanako knew. That Machamp was getting way too close! With Ember right there almost as some kind of baseline, Tamara was ignored by Kintaro as "just another Gardevoir." He would be more shocked to meet a normal one at this rate. "Hello!" He should have taken the advantage when he had it if he really thought this was some kind of threat against his companion. But he didn't panic. He admittedly was far more proud of himself for maintaining objective when he was watching a Machamp hunkering over Hanako. The male walked down the hill at a steady pace, protecting his own body from a too rapid descent and also making himself nonthreatening to the strangers. She had also been robbed once already. "Is my associate well?" He called out to Alec, desperately analyzing a potential threat and trying to envision an outcome that wasn't going to get somebody killed. Roserade, he decided, was the nail in the coffin. The Machamp couldn't be any easier to take down, but he was off-balance and distracted with menacing Hanako. Roserade, then Machamp. Medicham. Gardevoir. Oh. A Gardevoir. Where did she come from? Kintaro was so absorbed in trying to pick Alec's flaws out that he didn't realize Odyss had fallen behind...or was catching up.

The Quilladin panted as he reached the top last, then staggered back onto his feet. An uneasy moan was all the warning Kintaro got before his Quilladin transformed into a bowling ball. He opened his mouth to call out to Alec again. Distracting him was the best way to keep him from hurting Hanako until Kintaro could get close enough to do something about it. Odyss' trip caught Mary who yowled in shock, then the pair rolled over Attica who could barely manage a panicked "Paw--!" before being rolled up. The three of them soon sliced Kintaro's feet out from underneath him and he hit the ground hard on his back. Something was probably broken. Oh well. Was Vervain OK? The screaming ball of chaos barreled down the hill like it was going to hit Hanako. Instead it bowled right past her and into anybody not smart or fast enough to get out of the way! If Piotr didn't catch Odyss or brace himself against impact, the ball would take all victims onward until they hit a big bush that scattered the rolling victims into all parts of it, leaves scattering and Odyss moaning in sickened pain after so many rotations. He was just grateful to keep lunch down! Kintaro let out a groan of his own and slowly sat up. No breaks, but it still hurt to breathe. A successful avoidance of injury then. His glasses were askew, leaving him only partly able to see the end result of his bowling Quilladin and what effect it had on his attempt to thwart Piotr's wicked endeavor to help a poor, exhausted girl!

[/font][/i]" The muscular Pokemon agreed, this was a very nice bunch and Piotr was happy to help them. However, Alec had to do a double take when the Gardevoir spoke, he couldn't help it as he heard the male voice coming out of the Gardevoir, at least mentally. His charming smile faltered, as he gave the Gardevoir a skeptical look not from his words, but surprised that he sounded male. He glanced back down to the girl in question, and she her visible eye was still closed. Alec had assumed she might have just not felt well, or was trying to get her bearing, rather then unconscious which would have been the obvious choice giving her situation. Alec shifted backwards in his position to move more so out of his way, and his appearance appeared to one that was bored rather then concerned and charming like before. This was at least until he heard another voice call out. His voice caught everyone's attention but Piotr, his man focus was trying to help the sick girl, however Tamora's eyes were already trained on him over the old lace of the fan still covering the majority of her face. Alec stood up as he looked the male over. He seemed to have a friendly posture and appeared to be very intimidating, though with the male's approach Alec had no real reason to think other wise. He didn't exactly seem... Like the type Alec would spend his time around. The male called out, asking if his 'associate' was well. Alec's skeptical expression returned as he glanced down to the girl. Who called a girl an 'associate?' Of course, if they were coworkers in an office or business it would make total sense, but here? They were all at a costume party at a palace. He was wearing some kind of weird robe and crown looking thing, The dark haired male could only assume it meant he was some form of royal, while she was a knight. It was more of a couple costume idea rather then coworker... "Uhhh... Associate?" Alec questioned, unable to contain his confusion and skepticism. Not only was it a rather strange thing to call someone, but seeing the male Gardevoir's exasperated expression he couldn't help but question it. "Yeah, she's fine. She's still breathing at least, he said she passed out." Alec answered with a shrug. He didn't really know all of the fact about her condition, or how she got like it. But now he didn't really seem to care. He had his shot, and missed it. She was unconscious, what fun could that be? Now this strange guy was here to make things worse. Both Spade and Harley had lost interest in the male as they went about their business. The Medicham was still pouting that she had to wait and help the passed out girl instead of getting lost in the maze, while Spade started to eye the other Pokemon in the group. However the Gardevoir's eyes were still trained on the new comer, watching him grow closer. Just another Gardevoir?

Alec was confused on the whole situation, but it was better then how boring the party was before. He hadn't exactly noticed the round Pokemon at the top of the hill, not until it had already taken out his shiny Luxio. The tall male had been so focused on the strange man, he hadn't noticed the Luxio or Pawniard until it was too late. He looked up at the yelp from the golden Pokemon, and spotted the round Pokemon taking out the Pawniard and soon the strange man. "Piotr!" Alec shouted, pointing behind the Machamp, and began to jump backwards. Everything happened fairly quickly. Tamara disappeared all together and reappeared several meters to the side, as she was now turned to face and watch the chaos, while Spade let out a few vines from his flowers and used that to wrap around the stem of a bush and bungee himself away. Fortunately for them they got to safety, unfortunate for Harley and Piotr they did not. The Medicham turned to see the barreling Pokemon, as a large mallet appeared in her hands. "I got 'e-" She began to say, but she too was taken out by the barreling Pokemon, and added to the collective screams. Piotr didn't have enough time to get a good strong stance. He was able to get a firm grip on the Quilladin, but didn't have the footing to stop him. The round Pokemon took him to the ground, but with his grip and size, he was able to hold on as the now four Pokemon mowed him over. The momentum was able to flip the Machamp over once with the roll, but he was able to stop the group after landing face first into the ground. "Ouch... Piotr is not feeling very good either now" He groaned into the ground, as he released the Quilladin and other Pokemon. Alec looked over all of the chaos, five down Pokemon with a trainer flat on his back, and couldn't help but laugh at the scene he had seen. He wasn't hurt, and no one was dead, so he found it pretty funny, however his Roserade who now almost looked like a part of the bush he was standing in. "So, are you just that round that you can't handle hills, or are you stupid?" Spade questioned the round Pokemon angrily. However, his approach to the situation was a bit more tame compared to Harley's. She sprung herself free from the pile of Pokemon and turned on the new male. "What's your problem!? Are you two crazy or somethin'!? And that's a lot comin' from me!" She shouted turning her attention from the new coming male and the Quilladin, still wielding her mallet.

Meanwhile the Machamp pulled himself free with another groan, as he now moved back over to the Gardevoir and sickly female. "Let's move little girl before fight happens." Piotr commented to the less tattered Gardevoir and leaned down to scoop her out of the lap of the psychic's with one of the pair of arms he had. He quickly shuffled away from the group and towards the bench, when arriving he would gently set the girl down on it.


Oooof, in my mind she was still conscious for some reason. Alec damage control :O. I'm assuming Alec would be able to understand Ember, if not I can change it pretty easily.

[/font][/b]" Alec commented as if it were a genuine comment, which it was for the most part. He did feel like he was the only one to help, but Alec just wanted to test and see if he had a relationship with her rather then just being an 'associate.' However, the compliment to Piotr's training had caught him a bit off guard. Alec looked over to the muscular Pokemon, as he tended to the girl, and then back to him. "I guess you could say he is. Put him through a bit of training. We've been through and seen a lot. He's a big coward though." Alec commented casually. Alec and his Pokemon had been through quite a bit, 4 gyms, Darkrai's realm, and fought ultra beasts. Piotr was one of the Pokemon that had been traveling along with him and Spade the longest, and had been actually present. "No mister, It's just Alec." Alec replied, seeing that he was clearly wanting his name, but Alec had no intention on giving him his full name, followed by an extended hand. His yellow eyes fell on the hand, almost questioning why he wanted to shake his hand, this wasn't exactly a formal greeting. He moved to take the male's hand, but was cut short by his belt failing. Two Pokeballs had fallen from his belt, Alec wasn't going to think anything of it until he apologized for his team not cooperating. His tone was flat and serious, but Alec couldn't help but find it humorous. He took a moment to look from the Pokeballs and to the Quilladin, and then back to the strange male. "No kidding." He responded jokingly regardless of his original serious statement. The strange male then introduced himself as Kintaro Satoshi, and then explained what he was. Alec found it strange considering he didn't ask for his job title, but it did explain his comment about Piotr's behavior. Alec nodded his head to him as he introduced himself. "Hmm, sounds interesting. New to the job?" Alec couldn't help but ask with a grin, seeing that he even admitted that he wasn't able to get his Pokemon to cooperate, at least in the past couple of minutes.

Spade was still filled with anger, if he hadn't reacted in time, he would have been entangled with the likes of that push over, and that lunatic, not to mention those other Pokemon. The Pawniard that seemed just as angry as he was, and the Luxio who had flounced away. But a bit of Spade's anger subsided as he saw the Quilladin's pleas for the ground to stop moving, and his attempts to help himself from puking. Being an acrobat, Spade was well versed in spinning and over coming dizziness. He let out a sigh. "Find a fixed point, stare at it, and take deep breaths. You'll be fine." Spade commented unable to hide or tame the annoyed tone in his voice. "Just make sure you aren't at the top of any hills if you have the tendency to become a large bowling ball." Spade added, crossing his flowered arms, as he watched the round Pokemon, only to have him taken way by the damsel. The flower followed along side her with his arms crossed still, if only to keep out of the line of fire. However, Harley's anger hadn't subsided so easily. Not only did this guy let his Pokemon flatten them, but he was ignoring her! The nerve of this guy. "I'll teach you to ignore-" She began, ready to run over and take a swing of Kintaro, but she was cut off by the Pawniard, who popped up, telling her to back off and calling her dumb. It was clear she hadn't handled her ride with the Quilladin well. Luckily for Harley, she was a fighting psychic type, both of which aided in her quick recovery. Not to mention that she loved twirling, spinning, and flipping. "Looks like I don't have to. You can't even stand up straight." Harley joked in what would be a jersey accent, while she snorted and laughed at the newly defending Pokemon. "You look like a Spinda in a earthquake." She joked again, cracking herself up at her own joke, now using the Mallet's handle for support as she laughed, leaning on it. She watched as the Beldum came up behind her to support the Pawniard. "Be careful who you call dumb, or I'll put a chip in that axe head of yours, and use you to play a wicked game of T-Ball with your friend." She continued to joke, laughing at her own joke again, seeming to wipe the tears from her eyes form laughter. Now unable to unsee the Beldum as a T-Ball set.

Piotr had aided in helping the girl to her new resting place. As he did, there was a new arrival appeared, fairly close to him as she purred and complimented. "Many thanks, but I am not a hero. I am only trying to help little girl." He replied in his heavy accent giving her a kind smile. He hadn't exactly taken her comments as flirting or something that she had fallen for him, he merely thought they had been nice things to say from a nice golden kitty. The young girl seemed to wake, telling them good morning in a very affectionate way, something Piotr was not accustomed too. These were nice people, unlike the ghosty girl Rhienne, or those with Vanessa, or the mean females with Ridley. They all gave him the willies. But the Jynx with Ridley was fairly nice to him he remembered. The small girl sat up and hugged him, and gave him a peck seemingly on the hand, and thanked him. He blushed at the hug and peck, but gave her a gentle hug back with two of his four arms. "You are welcome, but it is not needed." He told her, despite knowing she couldn't understand him. She then asked him to hold still, using him to help walk over to the dizzy Quilladin, and pick him up. He was going to try and stop her, but she seemed to be okay, and moving back to the bench with a Beldum's help, as Spade the Roserade seemed to follow them back. The froakie followed as well, hopping onto her shoulders, with the help of a little flower. This clued them in the first time that there had been another Pokemon, a Flabebe rather then a hair accessory. After the Beldum left, The silent Gardevoir slowly tip toed over towards the growing Pokemon group. She could hear Harley and the Pawniard easily, but she would much rather be in the group of conversing Pokemon, however she kept the tattered fan over her face, only showing her eyes. One of the girl's Pokemon turned Piotr and purposed returning to his trainer because some girl who was trouble. Both Piotr and Spade followed the gesture and looked towards the girl, and then back to the little Drilbur. The girl tried to tell them not to worry about the girl. Piotr gave the Drilbur a friendly smile. "I do not worry about trainer, Alec can take care of himself. I would rather stay and help sick girl." Piotr told him knowing well that Alec was able to fend for himself without needing any assistance from his Pokemon. If anything, the muscle Pokemon would be more worried for her. The Roserade looked over the girl, she didn't seem like she should be the type to worry about. She was in a run of the mill school girl costume, with a skirt just as short as Alec would like. She was wearing a fake set of ears and a tail, which reminded him of Rhienne who had been wearing fake Espeon ears and tail. Though hers had the strange ability to move around. But the longer he watched, so did this girl's as well. He found that interesting but then looked back to the Drilbur. "She doesn't look like anything to worry about. How much danger could she be?" Spade asked, not concerned about her in the slightest.

[/font][/b]" Alec questioned. It didn't add up in his mind. Alec's form of training would be a bit... different from Kintaro's. Alec was the type of trainer to use intimidation and fear to keep his Pokemon inline. Those that didn't intimidate were either just as sinister to listen, or just weird enough to tolerate it. However, the laughter that hadn't caught his attention before soon did as it rose enough louder... Making it almost impossible for him to ignore, without purposefully doing so. Alec turned to look at her. He eyed her over. She looked vaguely familiar but he couldn't exactly place her. Her looks were great, she had the right body he liked and her skirt was just short enough to his liking. But he found it a bit strange she hadn't been wearing any shoes at a party like this. While working at the circus, he had met quite an odd bunch so laughing in hysterics wasn't anything new for him to see. Just seeing it in this environment caught him off guard. Put a little damper on her looks. As she grew closer, so did other Pokemon, a Togetic and Ponyta. He hadn't been able to make a connection on what type of trainer she might be yet. Kintaro, after seeing the new additions, a Croagunk and Pancham, he seemed to be more of a fighting oriented team. Maybe not exactly fighting type though. He hadn't gotten a grasp on the girl either, he could only assume she had the run of the mill cutesy team. Kintaro introduced the new arrival as another "associate" which tore his attention from the girl and back to him. He spoke so bizarre... "Do you call everyone you meet an associate or just the girls?" Alec asked. However the girl was quick to shut that down. That was a relief. The other girl was unconscious so she might not have heard him call her an associate but at least she was normal enough to call it out. However, that's where the relief ended. Right off the bat, she had called him a thief. Of course he was, and that's one of the nicer things he's done, but he didn't want anyone aware of it. It was then when he realized why she looked some what familiar. She was the girl in the costume shop. She had seen him look at the costume, and now he was wearing it. Granted... He had put it back on the rack, though she might have seen it disappear. Though he couldn't deny he was wearing it. "Thief boy? Looks like we're all getting things wrong here. You're not an associate, and I'm not a thief or a boy." He told her calmly, his charming smile reappearing on his face, the one that the girl was unconscious for. It was a look he had perfected over the years, a charming nonthreatening look he used when he flirted. "I don't think that'll happen. But I would love to watch either try." He told her, his expression still on his face, as his yellow eyes looked back to Kintaro. Neither of these two seemed like the type to steal or just walk off with a Pokemon. But he would have really loved to see them try with his.

The Pawniard was right, she was smart to count the numbers and be worried about what would be Harley's team to out number her. But where she went wrong was, everyone but Piotr would be on Pawniard's team and cheer her on in the fight. Harley was not well received by anyone on Alec team, which is why Alec tolerated her. He found it funny how easily she annoyed them. Only recently did she turn her attention to him. The Medicham laughed at the Pawniard's threats. She didn't intimidate hardly at all, she would run head first into Darkrai had she been on the team. She didn't exactly plan a head, and often bit off more then she could chew, and everyone else was just itching to see her get thrashed. "You know, you're real cute with all your talk and all. The thing is... I do what ever I want. When I want." She replied leaning closer over her mallet handle as she spoke, offering a wink to the Pawniard. "Besides, we already gots a Roserade salad. He's over there." She commented, nodding her head over to Spade. Normally Harley would still be agro, but after a good long laugh and their banter, she was sufficiently calmed down. She also considered this a win on her part. She was interrupted by a little guy. Harley looked down to see a Pancham challenging her to a fight. "Speaking of cute!" She chimed happily. Now being a Pawniard, she had every defense against Harley's psychic abilities. She couldn't pry open her mind to get what she needed to crack her. So she needed a little trial and error. But with Pancham, he was still a little fighting type. She was able to get a quick read on his intent, and decided to use it to her advantage. "You know what makes you such a cutie? How strong you are. Look, I'm smart enough to know not to mess with a Pokemon like you." Harley told him, holding her hands up as the mallet vanished. "Her, she'd be a piece of cake. A real breeze to beat in battle. Like a Magikarp out of water. But you... I ain't that crazy. I can see who's the tough guy." She expressed. She didn't really pay attention to the angry looking Croagunk, she wasn't really a part of the group. But Not only was she building up the cute little bear, but she was trying to put all of the buttons she could on the Pawniard.

Back with the group small group of growing Pokemon around the petite girl. She seemed to have already taken a liking to Piotr, as did the Luxio who was fawning over the Muscular Pokemon, which Spade could only roll his yes. The Roserade just looked the girl over as she waved at him, however Tamora nodded behind her fan, and waved using her three long fingers with her free hand. However her eyes then drifted back towards the Quilladin, who had been using her as a focal point to calm himself. But she seemed it an opportune moment to stare back at him. Spade turned his attention back towards the Drilbur as he spoke about the new approaching girl. "I'd love to see her surprise me. She doesn't look like much." Spade commented looking her over, but surprise him she did already after calling Alec out for being a thief. Had he been drinking, he would have spit it out. That was the last thing they needed, was attention to their crimes. Piotr happily took her hugs as she gave affection to her Pokemon. Spade however didn't see her hand reach out, and the moment her finger tips touched him, he recoiled away from her, almost as if she were poisonous. He looked at her as if she were crazy, as Piotr quickly, but gently took her hand and set it back at her side shaking her head. The Roserade was almost offended at the gesture. He saw himself as if he were level with humans, superior to anything accepting the title as a common pet. So being pet like one offended him. "Please do not touch the flower. He can be sharp." Piotr warned the girl, though he knew she wouldn't understand. Spade continued to eye the girl with a look of distaste. He could tell with how her Pokemon acted and how she was hugging on any Pokemon she could reach, that she was just accustom to grabbing and petting Pokemon. But she needed to learn otherwise. It was a harmless gesture so he couldn't react negatively too it. He calmed down a bit as he shook his head at her, to get the point across. Spade was the first of Alec's Pokemon to notice the Unown. While he usually was more perceptive then the others, he was on red alert with the growing population around them especially after the new girl went and called them out. But it wasn't long before his Other Pokemon caught on. Spade took after the little fairy and let out a thorny vine and whipped an Unown that came too close, while Tamara formed a barrier around herself to keep them at bay. The girl seemed to put herself in front of her own Pokemon, which Piotr was surprised by. " no no no, Little girl. You need to rest, and not get in fights." Piotr told the cyan haired girl. He gently lifted her back up and sat her on the bench behind him. Things began to shift amongst the trainers. As they noticed the Unown, the mood changed. Alec wasn't usually afraid of anything, but the more he looked around, the more letters he found. He could see the others were getting on edge, as the girl asked about seeing all this, and tried to touch one. Alec would have almost thought he were imagining it too. It brought him back to Darkrai's Tower. There was an area that was made up of entirely nothing but Unown, and the Beheeyem that llived amongst them. The memory caused his smooth and charming smile to faulter as she eyed the Pokemon. He knew his Pokemon began to remember it too, at least Spade and Piotr. The Unown had dug real deep and trapped them in Alec's mind. Bringing the atrosities he had done in the past back to life, before the Beheeyem threw them out. He had caught onto what the girl who was unconscious had said, through her stutters. "I think she's right. These things can do strange and weird things in groups. I don't want any part of it." Alec commented as he started to back away from the group. If only Hunting hadn't abandoned them to do what ever he had to to do. Other wise he could have ran them off under the guise of his Haunter. But Alec was more then willing to head inside.

(Sorry for making you wait so long. I had to move, and then went out of town. But I'm back!)
