[09:31] -- visceralBeatdown [VB] A MANKEY START OF THE MEOW-N-TH --
[09:31] -- jadedInterloper [JI] Why this? --
[09:38] -- visceralBeatdown [VB] Pallet Town. A new town compared to the others of the Kanto Region, it was set up by travellers from a few centuries ago. Now the home of the infamous Pokemon Professor Oak, as well as two other fami --
[09:38] VB: lies known as the Phillips' and the Poriers, the town features dew-glistening flower patches, white picket fences, and an all encompassing forest surrounding a jade green square, extending north into the greater Kanto region, and down into the southern seas. Other people, most likely workers from the forest area and their children, mill about and play in the idyllic area.
[09:53] -- visceralBeatdown [VB] with the loud shout of an angry woman, and the screech of a Vigoroth, the door to the left opens, and out spills a girl thin and lanky for her age. At ten years old, Virginia Phillips stands about 5' --
[09:53] VB: 2, with a body like a rake. Her hair is frizzy, and reaches at this point only to her shoulders, in a center parted curtains look. She looks fearful for a moment, before brushing the dust off herself, and smiling. She wears long, three quarter length shorts of an olive green color, and a white tank-top. Around her waist is a tightly wrapped Poke-belt, with one pokeball in it, and on one shoulder i
[09:53] VB: s slung a bright blue backpack.

[10:23] -- jadedInterloper [JI] Upstairs in Viridian City's family run Pokemart a young girl ten years of age began whipping through her makeshift dresser that was her luggage crate to find an outfit to wear. With vigor in her step --
[10:23] JI: she placed each outfit up next to her in the mirror and quickly examining herself with a scrutinizing gaze before finally settling for what she had been holding now. Unusual as that may be considering how often Cheri fusses and complains with not having enough stylish clothes to wear she was all to excited to get going to help her father deliver parcels that day. Despite her bitterness towards hi
[10:23] JI: m it was not the prospect of doing something nice to sweeten their relationship that caused her to be the was she was today, rather it was because of what she had received just the night before at the Pokemon Center her first pokemon Meowth. Her mother having talked with her father briefly on the subject of her daughter's happiness quickly agreed to pay for the pokemon and her former lover's propo
[10:23] JI: sal if it had kept Cher out of her hair for a little while longer. During all that time of waiting for his daughter's pokemon to come through the Pokemon Center mail room Hurk had sought out a Pokemon Professors advice in the next town over on tips of raising pokemon. Which very soon lead to the idea of allowing her to go on a short journey to Pewter City and back documenting the pokemon she saw a
[10:23] JI: long the way which at that time was all kept a secret from Cheri.
[10:29] -- visceralBeatdown [VB] stretches her arms up, and then down as she walks towards the flower patch just outside her house. Her body swings over the picket fence, and she lands in the midst of the pink and purple things, sit --
[10:29] VB: ting down to pick some of them, and put them in her hair. She enjoyed moments like this, where she didn't have to act so tough in an attempt to be not seen as a target by her mother. Helen Phillips lived alone these days, apart from the company of her Vigoroth, and Virginia's father supposedly lived in Celadon City. This is where Gini pined to go, and so, after the Pokemon Professor had persuaded
[10:29] VB: Helen of her daughter's potential, she grudgingly let her go; although her connection towards the child was neither hindered nor strengthened by the thought of her leaving, such was her apathy. Virginia had packed few clothes, and a singular potion with her, somewhat underprepared for the road ahead, but enthusiastic nontheless. She had been told to be at the Pokemon Professor's labratory as soon
[10:29] VB: as possible, but she supposed she could wait for now.
[10:31] -- jadedInterloper [JI] Dashing down the stairs Cher's french designer summer dress bounced with each step until by the very last one she spun around giving her father a twirl to show off some of the clothes he could never --
[10:31] JI: afford to buy her as well as the pokeball in hand. Her dress light in colour was the faintest shade of pink decorated with small flowers along with dainty ribbons and lace running across each of its hem lines and tiers of the skirt. This was matched along side a sun hat, scarf and weaved brown bag which she had packed with her father's generous donation with a few potions, some water, and lunch fo
[10:31] JI: Cheri: "Vw'at do you zink?"
[10:32] -- jadedInterloper [JI] Turning from the counter Hurk looked down at his daughter with the biggest of smiles. It's a shame that this was the happiest he's seen her so far and he wasn't even going to be there to see the most of it. --
[10:33] JI: Hurk: "You look great Cherry!"
[10:33] JI: Hurk: "Oh- I almost forgot. I 'ave somezing for you."
[10:35] -- jadedInterloper [JI] Surpised Cheri curiously trotted towards the counter having to use the tips of her toes to look across the edge as she rested her arms crossed over the top. --
[10:35] JI: Cheri: "Vw'at is it?"
[10:39] -- jadedInterloper [JI] Grinning all the while Hurk took from his pocket a red ribbon which even this small bit of fabric looked far too expensive for him to afford. --
[10:39] JI: Hurk: "For your Meowth."
[10:40] -- jadedInterloper [JI] meowz* --
[10:43] -- jadedInterloper [JI] A sharp smile running along her noticeable angular features even in the early development of her growth barely even began to show the delight that she felt alongside her enthusiasm and anticipation. --
[10:44] JI: I mean it looks great Hurk.
[10:46] -- visceralBeatdown [VB] finally, gets up and begins to move, having picked flowers to the point of having an almost flower crown in her hair. She ponders whether this makes her look ridiculous, before looking back towards h --
[10:46] VB: er house, and deciding that she has a lack of care towards whether it does or not. She strides with a bold smile on her face towards the pokemon labratory. Trying to open the door, she finds it closed, with a note saying that the Professor will be back later, so instead she chooses to sit outside on a bench, waiting patiently.
[10:47] -- jadedInterloper [JI] Almost suspiciously Cher carefully swipes the ribbon from his hand with far too slick moving fingers. Hurk would have hardly known it's disappearance if he had not been looking down at the time to see it. --
[10:48] JI: Hurk: "I'm glad you like it, but I suppose it's time you vwould be getting along now. I don't vwant to keep my customers vwaiting. Now zis is very important Cheri so listen. Don't open ze package and deliver it right avway to the pokemon professor."
[10:49] JI: Cheri: "I know, I know! Vwe've been over zis like a zousand times!."
[10:51] -- jadedInterloper [JI] Having noticed a tightly rolled bag on the counter Cher quickly reaches out for that too ready to get her small adventure to Pallet town over with so she could train her pokemon in the grass. --
[10:51] JI: Hurk: "Don't even stop to go in the grass!"
[10:52] JI: Hurk: "I'll know, I've not only got eyes on the back of my head but ears everyvw'ere in zis town."
[10:52] JI: Hurk: "I'll 'ear about it if you do!"
[10:52] JI: Cheri: "Yes, yes. I knooow!"
[10:53] JI: Cheri: "First zing I do is to go to 'im! Don't vworry."
[10:54] -- jadedInterloper [JI] She says this all the while slowly backing away towards the door slipping her pokeball and package into her bag that she slung over the side of her shoulder. --
[10:54] -- jadedInterloper [JI] Hurk began to say something else once more but before he could she was already out the door. --
[10:57] -- jadedInterloper [JI] Little did she know she probably wouldn't make it back home for supper that night otherwise she might have stay to listen to his small loving farewell. As well to her unknowing he had packed a two ot --
[10:57] JI: her pairs of clothes, some extra money, and lastly a few healing items from his shop and some extra pokeballs. The weight of it all might have felt odd if she had not thought this was just another one of his extravigant lunch boxes he always made weighing her down.
[11:00] -- jadedInterloper [JI] With a rush of wind running through her hair Cher races towards the the small hill that short cutted her way out of town hopping over it with as much bounce to her dress as her hair before dashing once again towards the pathway leading out of the city into a fairly straight forwardd pathway into the next town. --
[11:01] -- jadedInterloper [JI] Heading her father's words she stuck to the path despite so desperately wanting to stray, but not as much wanting to have the responcibilty of handing whatever the parcel was into the Pokemon Professor in the next town. --
[11:02] -- jadedInterloper [JI] With a few more short cuts it took her a little less than fifteen minutes to reach a small patch of tall grass seperating the forest path from the village. --
[11:03] -- jadedInterloper [JI] From there she could see the outlines of two large houses as well as and even bulkier and taller building behind them. --
[11:03] -- jadedInterloper [JI] Without slowing her pace she runs through the grass lucky enough not having stumbled upon a pokemon and entering the town safely. --
[11:05] -- jadedInterloper [JI] From there on she began to strut towards what was obviously the lab of the professor even though she had not yet been inside despite her short tour her father gave her of the surroundings when she first came to visit him. --
[11:06] -- jadedInterloper [JI] Bending the corner around the building she had glimpst upon a girl sitting outside the building on a bench. She probably wouldn't have paid her any mind if it had not been for the weeds in her hair. --
[11:06] -- visceralBeatdown [VB] watches with some surprise as she spots another girl. She kicks her legs back and forth to show she is in fact, awake, and for now simply watches her curiously, as her hand strokes affectionately over the pokeball. --
[11:06] JI: "Vw'ats in your 'air?"
[11:07] -- visceralBeatdown [VB] seems a little surprised at the first line of conversation. She frowns, and moves her hand up to her hair, touching at the flowers. She looks at Cheri a little strangely, as if to say that it's clearly obvious. --
[11:08] JI: Ze look like grass and vweeds.
[11:09] -- visceralBeatdown [VB] scowls, and brings her hand up to her hair again, patting the flowers there, before standing, somewhat habitually due to the follow up to verbal abuse from her mother. She retorts with a sharp tongue. --
[11:09] VB: Well they're not, they're flowers.
[11:09] VB: If you wanna find grass, their's stains all over your socks.
[11:10] -- jadedInterloper [JI] Somewhat naive due to her young age Cheri peers down at her socks not wanting to show the shock that she felt was building up inside. --
[11:10] JI: Zey are not stained!
[11:12] -- visceralBeatdown [VB] looks somewhat indignant, the argument having caused her to look away from the approaching of a labratory assistant inside moving towards the glass doors. --
[11:12] VB: Your white socks are all green.
[11:12] -- jadedInterloper [JI] The knee-high socks were in fact however a little wet with dew and had a few stray grass blades stuck to the fabric. --
[11:13] JI: Zat's just because ze are wet!
[11:13] -- jadedInterloper [JI] vwet* --
[11:13] VB: Wow, /you/ shut up! You started this!
