Crushed || Silver & Kotone

[legacydenied]

It took a minute, but finally someone emerged from around the bend, past the rubble and boulders lining the area, the only indicators to how dangerous this area truly was. A lone figure who seemed all too sweet for this area. A figure that Silver knew all too well. A figure that could only belong to Kotone.

Silver couldn’t help but to laugh. It hurt, sure, but all the same he couldn’t help but laugh. It was just like Kotone to make light of the situation. Silver just laughed. Laughed and laughed until he started coughing, laughed until a small trickle of blood seeped from his lips. Until finally, he was able to recover.

“Yeah, sure, lost. That’s totally what happened to me.” Of course it was Kotone. Although Silver supposed he shouldn’t have been too surprised. The trainers who were actually allowed into the area were few and far in between, and Kotone was certainly near the top of that list.

But of all the people who had come across him, it was the one he wanted to appear strong to the most. And yet, here he was, lying there helplessly. What a joke. But it wasn’t like he was in a position to be picky, and Kotone was more than competent enough to be able to handle the situation.

“Now quit screwing around and get over here. I-” Silver grunted through a sudden wave of pain that wracked his body. He took a deep breath before continuing. “I’m in a bit of trouble here, in case it wasn’t obvious.”

Kotone's frown was soon replaced with a grin, the great Silver was defeated? She found it amusing, always finding that he was one of the best she knew. Or that she considered the best.

Flinching at his laughter, that shocked her to be quite honest she slowly made her way forward. Her legs sore from all the walking, and running in Mt. Silver. It almost made her uncomfortable, but she could imagine herself doing the same if someone had stumbled upon her the same way.

"You're totally lost if you have me for help," Kotone remarked with a grin, reaching into her bag pocket for Prince. The only able member on her team of three. She couldn't wait to find the way out, not that she wasn't alone anymore, she was with someone she knew to some extent.

Picking up her slow pace at his painful grunt, she made her way to the bloody Silver. A playful smile on her bruised lip as she extended her hand to help him up with her left hand, which was free of the Pokeball unlike her right hand.

"By Arceus, were you fighting these Pokemon in hand to hand combat Silver?" Her words were playful, to hide her mild concern and anxiety. She refused to spend time in here, and with the only other trainer she knew of bloody and beaten she knew there would be some trouble maneuvering their way out.

Hustle ! ;; Kotone & ____

First time for everything, right? Kotone was rather nervous. Her first time being well.. somewhere in Johto she'd never been. She'd stuck close to routes, and places she usually hung out but Curiosity killed the Meowth, right?

She'd overheard in her travels, things she'd picked up heading from route to route. City to City. It was worth, at least a check. Right? Yeah. A check, investigating or something. Quite frankly, she was nervous. New places, strangers. She'd get lost.

Laughing off the bad vibes she was producing, the anxious bundle of joy would draw closer to the building. Well it wasn't just any building, the Pokeathlon Dome... thing. Hopefully she was correct, and would try to avoid conversation about that in the future.

Instead of making her way to the building, Kotone directed her way towards the clearing. Where trainers, pokemon and stands were gathered. Biting the bottom of her lip, she wondered if she should bring one of her own companions out. She felt a bit... out of place.

Walking about the understand what people did her, or found amusing in the building was beginning to bore her. Thinking as she walked, and observed trainers cheering on their Pokemon or people haggling for some Aprijuice. Which was strange, was that good? Kotone needed to know.

Paying little to no attention where she was going, Kotone soon found her face pressing up against someone's back. A small squeak of apology escaping her lips before she stared at her feet, not bothering to look up.

"Oh! I'm... terribly sorry...!" She stammered out, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "I wasn't watching where I was looking! I've never been here before so..."

Crushed || Silver & Kotone

A lone figure stumbled down the generously named path that led down from the heights of Mt. Silver, a trail of blood droplets marking his descent from the upper mountain. He weakly held his right arm close to his chest, the skin that showed through the tears in his jacket was angrily red and swollen, though that wasn’t his most concerning injury. His good arm clutched at an area of his jacket that was dark and wet, obviously the source of the trail of blood he had left behind him.

Though he looked weak and wobbly, probably from the loss of blood and the pain he was feeling, he had a sense of urgency as he tried to carefully but quickly pick his path down the treacherous trail. His exhaustion was starting to get the better of him though. He wasn’t sure if he could go much farther. Maybe if he just rested for a bit… Yeah, that was just what he needed. With a glance back up the path, he found a big rock to lean against and sat down to catch his breath.

Silver had messed up. He had forgotten how difficult it was to train a younger Pokemon, and Mt Silver was definitely not the best place to do such a thing. Especially when that Pokemon was a Larvitar he had caught in the same place. Though really, it was just plain bad luck that he managed to run into his Larvitar’s parents. It had become quickly apparent that they had not forgotten that little transgression.

In the end, it was Silver’s overconfidence that had him in such a predicament. He should have been much more careful. He should have been more prepared. He should have never underestimated an angry Tyranitar. And now he was paying for those mistakes.

He pulled his blood covered hand away for a brief moment, but the wave of pain that washed over him made him quickly replace it. If only his pokeballs hadn’t been damaged in that rock slide. If only he had Honchkrow or Feraligatr or anyone of his teammates beside him now. If only his Larvitar were stronger. Then he wouldn’t be in such trouble now.

It was then that he heard the sounds of someone nearby, someone in a hurry. He hated having to do this, but he was out of options. If he didn’t get help, there was a very real possibility that he might die up here.

“Hey!” Silver cried out weakly. “Whoever you are… I could use some assistance.” He could only hope that they had heard him.

[apricutie]

Mt. Silver, an unforgiving place to those with weak Pokemon or lack of skill. Kotone did not like this place one bit, it sent her on edge. Goosebumps bubbling along her skin, and every hair on the back of her neck was risen.

The young trainer had come here to improve her Pokemon, it began smooth at first. But slowly began to plummet as she ran out of potions, and things to strengthen her team in battle. Kotone in full retreat, was making her way back down.

With minor bruises about her skin, Kotone had tripped on multiple things. Bashed into stones, you name it. Her team had taken the more major blows, defending her from any harm. The only Pokemon on hand was Prince, and he would surely be defeated if Kotone ran into a stronger Pokemon then her own.

The sound of footsteps, echoes, and stones falling rattling ringed through her ears as she walked. Her legs sore from running away as it was. She'd need a break or something soon. She'd like that.

Anxiously biting her lip, she came to a halt. Pushing down her hat, feeling the soft fabric touch her skull she finally admitted defeat. She was lost, and would have to find somewhere safe until more trainers came. Whenever that would be.

She began to pick up the pace, a slow jog to wherever her feet would lead her. She had no idea by this point, and would most likely give up any time now. Kotone soon paused at a distant cry for help - for her? Someone was actually here?

"Hello!" Kotone said, slowly making her way over to the familiar voice. A small grin parting her lips as she saw Silver. Only to lock her arms and simply sigh. "You're lost too, I suppose?"

johto's wonder pest | kotone & archer

An exhausted sigh left Archer’s lips as he trudged up the steps of the Goldenrod Department Store. He had been working all day, and decided that, for once, he would treat himself. To what, he didn’t know. He wore a navy blue pea coat over his Rocket blazer, covering the crimson ‘R’ that he wore over his heart. As long as he didn’t bump into Proton on his day out, it would be fine.

Upon arriving at the top floor, the Executive took a seat right at the back of the store, taking a few notes out of his pocket. This is what he considered a ‘treat’- Time away from the bedlam that was HQ. Teal hues skimmed over notes that covered previous missions, plus the one to come. Right at the bottom ‘Radio Tower’ was written in capital letters, underlines twice. Soon.

The Executive’s gaze flickered from the paper to one of the vending machines that sat against the wall, where a rather familiar girl stood, in the middle of buying a drink. He… He knew that girl. From where, he could not remember. All he could remember was that ridiculously large hat bobbing about. Just as he was about to brush it off, he remembered.

It was her. The girl. The one that decides to interfere with Team Rocket’s plans. I’ll be having none of that, thought the Executive, shoving the notes into his jacket pocket and striding over to the girl, pretending to pay attention to the vending machine that sat beside her. Archer inserted a few coins into the machine, about select the drink he wanted when he leaned towards the pest, his voice a low whisper,

"Please refrain from involving yourself in our plans, girl. You are quite the pest.”

His jacket was unbuttoned slightly so the ‘R’ was visible to her and only her- he didn’t want to attract any unnecessary attention.

[apricutie]

She had been told to come to Goldenrod for errands, simple things that her mother had requested from her to retrieve. With the Espeon, Fake tightly held in her arms. The department store would have what she needed, it provided more then most. And would have what her mother would need.

Kotone placed the pink creature down, her arms beginning to tire holding Fake. He would simply have to follow her, which he was good at. Tapping her chin, she would recall what her mother would need. The store, as per usual was busy - buzzing with life like a Combee's hive.

After only a few minutes, Kotone had filled the small hand bag with required objects - hoping not to mix up her mothers with her own. What a messy bag she had. It would need cleaning soon. Fake had brushed against her leg, a strange, deep purr escaping his chest. A small smile forming on Kotone's face, she knelt down to scratch under his chin.

Only being half-way down with her errands, she'd make her way to the top floor by elevator. The stairs would drain more of her energy as it was. She needed a break for a bit before finishing her chores. Once entering the small, moveable box she politely asked for the top floor and her wish was granted.

Arrival at the top floor was quick, and the sounds from down blow were drowned out - less people up here. Only a few, unfamiliar faces. Her and her partner made her way to a bench, right next to a vending machine that provided refreshing beverages for both human and Pokemon. Now resting finally, she patted the spot beside her in a welcoming gesture for Fake. He responded happily, placing himself beside her.

Time passed as she sat, mostly off in her own imagination as she was only brought back into reality as Fake nudged her now and then, demanding attention. Which was given. A scratch behind the ears, a stroke on the back or simply ruffling his fur.

Now drowning out reality, Kotone went back to thinking. Now what did mom want? The girl blinked, trying to recall the final things needed before she could return home. Paying no mind to the man beside her, obviously making selection on a drink. Soon being drawn back into reality at an unfamiliar voice.

"Please refrain from involving yourself in our plans, girl. You are quite the pest.”

Eh? Who was this guy? And why was he calling her a pest? She didn't know him - yet. She watched him carefully unbutton his jacket to catch a glimpse of the familiar crimson R.  Kotone recalled seeing the R once, in a well with some Slowpoke and some shady figures with terrible hair. Team Ravioli? No that wasn't it.

"Aren't you like Team Hoohaa or something? You guys are like... bad."

The espeon on her lap gave a faint growl, Kotone simply stared in wonder. Obviously Team Rake - or whatever they were calling themselves was more then a one time deal. Shouldn't she of been doing something?

Train Buddies // Dawn & Kotone

“Eira… come on, we’re gonna be late for the train…!” It was a warm-ish day in Goldenrod city, and Dawn, didn’t quite like that. Being from the colder region of Sinnoh, even a little bit of heat made them sweat. “I’m gonna be honest, E… I don’t like Johto very much… At least not the way it feels…” They said as the Glaceon jumped into Dawn’s arms. At this point, Dawn had started running, their train just in sight.

When the two had finally boarded the train, Dawn sighed, relieved that they had reached it in time. The first day on their trip to Johto, they had misread the train schedule, and eventually had to ask for someone to call the a cab. Looking around the car, they didn’t really notice anyone who looked like they weren’t from Johto… Although that was kind of a given due to the fact that they WERE in Johto, after all.

After about half an hour on the train, Dawn noticed someone with a cool hat get on the train. Taking Eira in their arms, they got up and walked over to the person . Sitting next to them, Dawn piped up, “Your hats cool… By the way. I’m Dawn…” They said, stretching their hand out shakily. They were quite surprised at the sudden outburst, Dawn usually never spoke to anyone they didn’t know… If they could help it.

[apricutie]

Train rides were always fun! Kotone loved using transit stations, or anything that involved not walking. Maybe a bit to lazy for her own good. The girl simply smiled, adjusting her cap.

Waiting for her train, Kotone stood by herself - no partner walking with her today. It was too crowded and loud, maybe another day. "Oh!" Kotone spoke up. The train! It was finally here. Boarding as quickly as possible, Kotone would waste no time to find a seat and gently kick her legs like an excited child. She had no destination for this trip, just a round about to look at some sights, maybe meet someone new. Trains were simply exciting.

Time slowly passed, maybe a half an hour? Kotone could not tell, and wouldn't bother attempting to figure out the time wasted on this train! Playing with her pigtails, her attention was soon drawn to a voice - eagerly smiling at the stranger, Kotone smiled.

"Oh hey!" She greeted the stranger with a welcoming expression, no frown or glare to scare off the soon-to-be friend. "Thank you, Dawn! Nice to meet you!" The girl chimed, her fingers grasping together. "I like your scarf, by the way~! It's adorable!"
