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

Give a nickname to your new Whismur male?

-> Yes?

No?

"Yay! I caught my first Pokemon!" Karen jumped up and down for joy as she hugged the Pokeball close. "Let's see, I think I'll name this one... Antoine! His name is Antoine!" She kissed the Pokeball and stuffed it into her purse. "I guess I'm going to have to stop by the Pokecenter too while I'm still in Verdanturf. Both of you are hurt..." Karen gently pet Cosette's cheek.

Karen turned her head to look back at Aeris. Seeing her sad expression, she approached the other girl and gently grasped one of her hands. "What's wrong, Aeris? You look sad... are you okay?"  

[Fade_the_Pyro]

"I'm okay, let's just keep moving." Aeris said, flashing Karen her best fake smile and leading the rest of the way in silence to the Verdanturf entrance. "Here we are, Karen. I don't want to travel into the city, so I'll wait here for you while you collect your things." She said, with another fake smile, sitting cross legged at the entrance.  

[Michiru Tendo]

"Look, it stopped raining!" Karen stepped out of the cave and onto the path, looking around at the red sky and the sun setting between the trees. She frowned a little at how late it was getting, but then turned around to smile at Aeris. "If you're really sure... you still seem sad, I could try to cheer you up on the way!"  

[Fade_the_Pyro]

"If you're scared of making the journey here and back in the dark, then I will go with you. Otherwise, you can save your cheering up for when you get back. I don't see how it could take you more than twenty minutes or so if you hurry." Aeris said all this with the same fake smile pastered over her face.  

[Its-a-Lyn]

#3 hadn't been doing much. He had told Professor Redwood to meet with #4. She wasn't doing much anyways, and he had to find that Umbreon. He walked along the path toward Lillycove. He hadn't the slightest idea where that thing was heading, but he want to find it. It was important that he did. As he strolled a female Cool Trainer spotted him.
"OMG!" She squeeled. "OMG! OMG! OMG! You're...you're...you're....EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" The Cool trainer seems to have lost her cool.
"OMG? The things these kids say. By the way, I am not an 'eeeee.'" he stated as he continued on.
"W-wait! Can I see your face! Just one glance! Please! I just want to see it!" The girl dashed in front of him and reached for his scarves. #3 pulled back before she could grab one.
"Now now, what did your mother tell you about grabbing at other people's articles of clothing? It isn't very nice. Good day." He tipped his hat and continued on.
"...I can't understand how he wears all that. He must be super hot underneath...hehe...HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!" The "cool" trainer laughed at her own joke as #3 faded into the distance.  

[Michiru Tendo]

"Oh, no no! I'm not that afraid of the dark, I'll be fine! I have Cosette and Antoine now, so I'll be okay!" Karen laughed nervously as she started at a run down the path. "I'll see you really soon!" She shouted back at Aeris with a wave.  

[Fade_the_Pyro]

Aeris sensed that Karen might be lying and grumbled inwardly. How could she believe that the girl wasn't afraid of the dark after the whole cave incident? Deciding to go back on her own assurances of not going into the city, Aeris swiftly made herself invisible. She and Han floated behind Karen and Cosette with arms crossed, looking out for them on the road. Aeris somehow doubted that Karen would be too great at looking out for herself if a real danger presented itself, and not just a Whimsur.  

[Michiru Tendo]

Karen stopped running for a moment to catch her breath. She looked over at Cosette and smiled. "We should get going before it gets too dark, huh? Let's be quick, I don't want to keep Aeris waiting too long either!" Karen began to run again with Cosette by her side. Before she got too far, however, she tripped over the root of a tree and fell face-first. "Ow ow ow..." Cosette rolled her eyes, bent down, and slipped her head under one of Karen's arms, helping to lift her up from the ground.

"Thank you, Cosette!" Karen smiled at her Ponyta as she rubbed her slightly bruised nose. "Alright, let's get going again!" Again, Karen took off at a run toward the city.  

[SephiLyn]

Lyn finally reached the outskirts of Rustboro. Now all she had to do was cross a bridge and enter. "It's not far," she whispered to Tiger. " You'll be better in no time." Tiger let out a sigh of relief. It was dark out, but not so bad. He just hoped Lyn didn't fa-SPLASH! Lyn flailed around after she realized that the calm water was not ground. She quickly remembered that Tiger could not swim and he did not enjoy it. Well...at least he's finally taking a bath. Lyn swam to shore with Tiger in her arms. She carried him along as she crossed the bridge. Tiger was coughing up water.  

[Fade_the_Pyro]

A few minutes after Aeris began to follow Karen, she realized that Han had not followed her. A couple of seconds after that, his voice cut through her thoughts.

Aeris! Come quick! The Whimsur are attacking!

Aeris left Karen to her own devices, hoping against hope the girl would be alright as she sped toward the cave again. To her utmost dismay Han was nowhere near the entrance, but there were signs of tiny Whimsur prints in the ground leading deeper into the cave. Aeris chewed her lip, worried since Han hadn't sent her any other messages besides that first one.

Faced with no other choice, Aeris scratched a hasty note to Karen into the side of the cave with a rock, hoping against hope the girl would see it.

KAREN
Han Han-napped. Going after him- follow the arrows

With that, she scratched a big sideways arrow pointing to the right tunnel and left some of her ghostly glow to illuminate the message in the dark. Han had been dragged off in the direction of Rustboro, so she would leave arrows for Karen to follow. If she didn't make it back in time to guide the redhead herself after rescuing Han, the arrows would lead her out and Aeris would catch up later.  

[SephiLyn]

Lyn arrvied in Rustboro without any other accidents. She smilled. The city was relatively big but not the biggest. She wandered around looking for the Pokemon Center. This was the first time she had been in the city. As she walked around she saw a sign that read: STORE SALE! ALMOST OVER! TWO DAYS LEFT! She decided to return there after dropping off Tiger who was snoring slightly in her arms. Lyn wished she had brought a towel, he was wet. The Pokemon Center was lit up, it was open thenty-four/seven. She walked in and saw all sorts of other trainers. One has a Torchic. Lyn remembered the day her sister went to the Professor in Pallet Town, the place where she had first seen the primary starters. Her sister had choosen Charmander, the fire pokemon. His name was Flame. She wondered how the two were doing now and what they were doing. She walked up to Joy, the ever present Pokemon Center nurse who had been doing this since she was young, it ran in her family. After asking them to treat Tiger, she walked out to go shopping. She'd return to the Pokemon Center, they let trainers stay for free and it was best if she saved her money.  

[Michiru Tendo]

Karen soon arrived at the hotel, packed her things into her backpack, and dashed out of the room. Before arriving back at the path she stopped at the local Pokemon Center to heal her two Pokemon. After that, she rushed over to the path and soon arrived back at the cave. Not seeing Aeris at the entrance, she desperately looked around for her outside the cave until she finally noticed the glowing inscription on the cave wall. She frowned as she read it. "I hope Han she finds Han, but now it's going to be more scary for me going through the cave again. At least I know where I'm going this time, though! And I can run through it without getting lost! Ready, Cosette?" The Ponyta snorted, hoping that the clumsy girl wouldn't trip again as she ran.

The firey-haired girl started at a run through the cave, following the arrows as she ran. She stumbled a few times, but only managed to fall on her face once. Cosette rolled her eyes again as she helped her up a second time, thinking about how the girl shouldn't wear those long skirts if she was planning on running around. Soon enough, Karen and Cosette reached the other entrance.

"Here we are! That wasn't so bad, was it?" Karen chuckled a bit, then took in the surrounding area. "I guess we just follow the path... Cosette, will you stay close to me? I'm a little nervous since it's still dark and we haven't been here before..." The Ponyta trotted close to her side as they walked the path to Rustboro, reaching the city within fifteen minutes of walking from the cave.  

[SephiLyn]

Lyn got back to the Pokemart. She entered the store and looked at all the bargains. She bought a potion and three pokeballs. Then she suddenly remembered that she had seen some trees outside the city that looked like they might have fruit. She decided to go check them when it was light outside. She started walking back to the Pokemon Center with her things.  

[Michiru Tendo]

Karen siged in relief. They had finally arrived in Rustboro! Now to get a room at some inn and- Wait! There was a big sign reading: STORE SALE! ALMOST OVER! TWO DAYS LEFT! "They have a sale here too? Yay, this is awesome! I didn't miss a sale after all!"

Karen dashed into the store and looked around at the supplies. She picked out two more pokeballs and an antidote, payed for them, and left the store. "That was a little disappointing, it was just supplies... why couldn't it have been a clothing store with a sale? Ah well, at least I've re-stocked! Now to find somewhere to sleep." She wandered around for a bit, but had no luck at finding an inn. She decided to head on over to the Pokemon Center to ask where she could find a bed for the night.
