Skye Prower

Melody was silent for a moment. "No. I don't think so. I'm happy enough. Except, well, uh, could you make it a couple of years younger. Not as young as you and Melody, but I wouldn't mind getting some of the years I've missed back." ------------- Meanwhile, the younger Melody was still in her room pondering. "What kind of name do I want? If I'm gonna change, maybe I should ask Dad for an Echidna style name? Or would that be silly?" ------------- "No way. That box is part of my ticket out of here," replied Miles. He scooped up a handful of loose ground and threw it towards Alicia's eyes.

Miles backed up a bit still on the ground. "How about a deal," said Miles quickly. "You let me and my friend leave with the box, and you NEVER hear from me again."

Miles backed away from Alicia but tripped and fell on his back. He gulped, but having had a chance to rest he hadn a little bit of his magic back. He concentrated and fired a magical bolt towards Alicia. "Just leave me alone," he shrieked.

Miles gave a cry and tried to dodge, but was far too slow and the whip caught his arm, cutting into it.

Miles struggled to keep his face level when Alicia mentioned his missing tail. "No. I'm not going to give you the box," he replied, trying to sound confident.

Annoyed with what had happened with Chris and her father, Kimi stormed into her room and threw her satchel onto the desk. It slammed into a radio and knocked it onto the floor. Groaning, Kimi picked up the radio and tried turning it back on, but nothing happened. She gave it a shake, hearing a rattle from within. Sighing, she put if back on the desk and pulled the pokeball with Skye in it from her bag. "Okay, let's see what you are," she said, opening the ball. Blinking at the sudden brightness, Skye appeared in the room. He looked around slowly. This wasn't where he'd been. But then, he couldn't remember where he'd been. Almost everything before being in the ball was a blank. Had there ever been a 'before'? Turning, he saw Kimi. For some reason, he immediately thought of her as someone to trust. Someone to... obey.

Miles also took a step back, worried as Alicia approached. Though doing so was an unintentional sign of weakness. The he saw Alicia recoiled and, not realising why, tried to regain the superior foot hold,. "Something wrong?" he taunted.

Oh, uh. H-hold o-on. *grabs tail and tries to pull it free*

(ooc: Yeah Eliza, playing mean people can be hard going. That's why I completely changed my original character idea. I'm gonna have a slight timeskip here, so that Skye spends more time inside the Pokeball, which means his mind is more affected. Because otherwise, the moment he starts talking, Kimi isn't likely to keep ahold of him) After leaving the Center, Kimi meandered through the town for a bit, letting her Fennekin out of it's ball as it followed at her heels. Stopping at a cafe for lunch, Kimi pulled out a map and began looking over it. "Where do you think would be the best place to go first ?" Kimi asked the fox pokemon as she petted it fur. It just gave a little yawn in responce. "You're right, we should head home," said Kimi, setting off. Kimi was a little reluctant to get home because... "So, how's my little trainer?" asked Kimi's father the moment she stepped though the door. "Dad, I'm not..." began Kimi. "Oh yes you are. All those grass and dirt stain, classic signs. I was just the same at your age." "But Dad.." "I know you say you don't enjoy it, but once you have a few matches under your belt, get a few badges, you'll wonder why you ever complained about it. You'll make me so proud." Kimi winced. She hated it when her father brought up that line. "I'm going to my room."

Uh, w-well... If y-you really want to...

Aww, that's a cute dog!

I, oh, er.... I f-forgot t-there was o-other's watching... Let's d-do something el-else

I... I d-do.

Only i-if you d-do

*begins to feel really awkward with Fluffy on top of him* U-uh, I-I-I, e-erm, w-well, t-that i-is... d-do y-you w-w-want t-to, uh d-d-d-dance a-again?

I'm not sure that gas mask will fit

Uh, erm, w-well you w-were d-doing g-good u-untill... uh... er.... *blushes again*

Kimi skated away, a look of anger on her face. "It's bad enough, but when people like HIM are being cruel. Maybe it's just here. Maybe things are better out in the wider world," she hoped. It didn't take her long to reach the town and the Pokemon center, handing the pokeballs in for healing, and picking up some spare potions before heading home.

"So I'm learning," said Anna smiling. ------------- "And I am asking!"

Thank's Fluffy. You're pretty good too!

D'aww, cute little fox! Er... hmm, now we need to fix Eliza.

Having fun?

"Being a trainer is my way outta this backwood. And away from YOU!" said Kimi, activating her rollerblades. "And no, I don't want a fight. I'm to busy right night. People to see, places to go. That sorta thing." Though, the main reason was, aside from her newest catch, her whole team was badly hurt already.

*smiles back. Forgetting about the others watching, starts pulling quite complex dance moves*
