It's a Pokemon RP! We're still kind of in testing phase. ^^;

Karen followed closely behind the other girl, hoping that she knew where she was going. She shot a confused look at Aeris's back as she asked her, "What do you mean you're a part of it? Do you just hang around in dark places a lot? If you hang around in the dark then that must mean you come here, so you know where the exit is?"  

[Fade_the_Pyro]

Aeris sighed at the girl's dense guessing. Yet her naivette wasn't so bad to be around. It was actually almost funny. If only Karen had the faintest idea that she knew every inch of this country, this cave and otherwise. But then after trekking it for 50 years, that was only to be expected.

"Depends on which exit you mean. I can take you to either."  

[SephiLyn]

Lyn woke up. It was almost day break. She took out the Cinnabun and stuffed a bit in her mouth. Tiger woke up and she gave some to him too. The rain had stopped now. She put her clothes away and took her coat down. She put the coat as she watched Tiger sprint off to go to the bathroom. She walked along the path a bit before a Wurmple jumped out at her. " OH MY GOD!!! IT'S HORRIBLE!!!!!" Lyn screamed and pointed at it. Quick as a flash, Tiger jumped in front of her and prepared to battle.  

[Michiru Tendo]

"Hm... well I was going to head out to Rustboro after I went shopping, but I think the stores are probably all closed by now." She sighed and walked a bit faster so that she could walk side-by-side with Aeris. "Would you show me where the Verdanturf exit is? I'm thinking I'll go collect my things back at the hotel and then head on over to Rustboro immediately." Karen frowned, thinking about her new plan. "Though that means I'll have to enter this cave again... and during the night time to boot. Maybe I could just run through it!" She smiled, thinking about how running through the cave would be a lot more pleasant than slowly wandering around and trying to find the exit.

"Oh, so where are you headed? Are you going to Rustboro too? You wanna travel together?"  

[SephiLyn]

Tiger jumped at the Wurmple, who ducked away turned around tackled Tiger as a counter. Tiger snapped back and caught the Wurmples tail, causing it to flinch. Tiger chewed on the Wurmple until it freed itself and tackled him again. Tiger bit it yet again and Wurmple had enough. It fainted and curled into a ball of Wurmple. Tiger feels a little stronger.

"Oh thank goodness!" Lyn cheered. "But you've been hurt. Let's get to Rustboro and get you healed!" She picked up Tiger and carried him off toward Rustboro.  

[Fade_the_Pyro]

"I am headed anywhere I choose." Aeris said, taking a side passage she knew led to Verdanturf.

"Do you really think it wise to run through a dark, misty cave?" She said with a frown, imagining Karen falling into all the dangers that would surely come from such a foolish plan.  

[Michiru Tendo]

"It might be! I don't know where I'm going anyways, so why not just run through? It'd be less scary!" Karen said happily with a smile and a small giggle. "I wonder if it's stopped raining by now... I hope it has. I don't want to stay in here for much longer."  

[Fade_the_Pyro]

Aeris blinked, confused at the girl. "I just said I know the way through this cave, so you do know where you're going. Unless you don't want to travel with me after all, and you were lying." It was the most she'd said at one time this far, and talking that much to Karen made her feel slightly uncomfortable. She stared ahead and concentrated on the twisting route back to Verdanturf.  

[Michiru Tendo]

Karen smiled happily at Aeris. "Does that mean you want to come with me to Rustboro too? That's great! I'd love to have you come with me! I thought you were just going to take me to the exit and then disappear again or something, but I'd love to have you with me when I come back here! It'd be so much easier, and less scary!" She clapped her hands together and giggled again.  

[Its-a-Lyn]

Little Whilly Whismur had been wandering around the cave in search of his favorite fungus. All of a sudden, BAM! The noise of the giggling reached his ears. The culprits weren't far away...Little Whilly Whismur attacks Karen!  

[Fade_the_Pyro]

"I don't have anywhere else to go. I think I'll just take the gym challenge." Aeris said, an edge of sadness entering her voice. Her thoughts were turning once again toward her seemingly endless quest to regain her life. She's adventured everywhere in Hoenn these past 50 years, but to no avail. She was starting ot think that it was never going to happen, and she wasn't sure how much longer she could bear to see Han struggling to keep her spirit here in the living world..  

[SephiLyn]

Lyn was carrying around her injured Tiger. He was still low leveled, she hadn't trained him much before. Pokemon around his ranking could take about three hits, maybe four if lucky. Poor Tiger...and he fought to save me... " I HEART YOU!" She cried and squeezed Tiger. The injuries and the squeeze caused Tiger to wince. He just hoped that Lyn wouldn't kill him before they reached the Pokemon Center.  

[Michiru Tendo]

"Alright then, let's go together! It'll be fun! I just have to make a quick trip back to the hotel and- Eek!" Karen screamed as she saw something jump at her.

Cosette immediately ran in front of her trainer to guard her from the attack. The Whismur leaped at Cosette to pound on her back with it's feet, knocking her to the ground. Cosette rose up qickly and tackled the Whismur.

Karen stared at the Pokemon which would have attacked her, a smile slowly forming on her face. "Oh my God... it's so cute! I want it! Go get 'im, Cosette! Just don't knock it out!"

The Whismur again attempted to pound Cosette, but Cosette quickly avoided the attack, countering with another tackle. After this last attack, Karen tossed a Pokeball at the Whismur.  

[Its-a-Lyn]

Whismur wiggled and jiggled and...

Stayed in the pokeball!

Give a nickname to your new Whismur male?

Yes?

No?  

[Fade_the_Pyro]

"Alright..." Aeris said again very sadly, trailing off to watch Karen fight the wild pokemon.

Remember when we used to do that, Han?

We had a lot of fun. We can still battle one occasionally, you know.

Yes...
