Mystic Jewel - old

[.:~Majic~:.]

((No, no. Ish fine! She needs to do a few things first anyhow! Like, visit the Pokemart!))

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: Alright! ^^

Kayla walked up to the mystical gem in front of her. "Wow... it's beautiful!" she muttered. "Okay guys," she told her pokemon, "I think you have to touch the gem for it to work." One by one, each of her pokemon walked up to the crystal and touched it. "I wonder what will happen," Kayla asked herself.

Kayla stood in front of her pokemon, speechless. "Wow! Look at you guys! You've grown levels, learned new abilities! You're so strong now! I'm so proud!" The pokemon ran around, happy that they had gotten more powerful.

Trainers milled about, all their Pokemon out and underfoot as they waited their turn. It took a few seconds for Reg to find Jesse, but he was talking to someone so she listened selectively to the other trainers round her a they gossiped excitedly, mostly about the Mystic Jewel. She was more suspicious than awe struck over this attraction, but wasn't going to let her misgivings get in the way of an advantage. Ivysaur, Snover, Corsola, Charmeleon, Budew, and Togepi came out of their Pokeballs shortly after. Ivysaur and Charmeleon both looked tough and on the verge of attacking, the crowd immediately cleared around them. Snover's big friendly face looked out inquisitively at the other Pokemon; Budew, a little intimidated by the mass of people, pressed up against the big snow Pokemon for reassurance. Corsola appeared subdued and sleepy, ignoring everything and everyone.
Togepi’s large eyes blinked as he chirped curiously, scrunching up and wiggling to his feet, he took a few experimental steps and stretched. He was a rather pudgy Togepi, his face almost disappearing among deep dimples when he smiled. Not obese, just pudgy. Used to easy living. Reg was convinced the little butterball was the cutest thing she had ever seen.
As one, they all turned and looked up at Regina, different intensity in their stares but all asking the same silent question. "Touch the jewel...once."
Without a sound, except for a whimper from Budew, they left in pairs, slithering through the crowd like shadows. Ivysaur carried Togepi, dodging an over-excited Hitmontop's spinning kick and staring down a Rhydon three times its size until the rock Pokemon grunted and moved out of his way.
Setting down the little Pokemon, Togepi ran forward and tapped the jewel, immediately feeling the effects. Ivysaur followed suit, then they retraced their steps back to Regina. A few minutes later they were rejoined by the others, pair by pair, changed by the jewels gift. Reg returned all but the Togepi back to their Pokeballs, then appeared by Jesse's side once more. Her face blank.

Jesse, having finally realized that Regina had already had her Pokémon touch the Jewel, turned around. "That was worth it, eh?" He winked, only to turn back and notice that the girl must've run off. "Oh well, maybe we'll see her later." Not a moment after saying so, though, he remembered what he'd said to her. "I almost forgot! I hope you don't mind having another traveling partner..." He rubbed the back of his head anxiously, only to try to change the subject without another word on the matter.

"Err, how about we head on over to the Pokémart? I think we should stock up on some supplies, hunh?" Before hearing an answer from Reggie, Jesse turned around and tried to force himself through the crowd. "And afterwards, we can train or something, then go pick up your Pokémon from my pare---fessor Redwood." He winced, not completely wanting her to know about them.

Ooc: Jesse told Reg that there was a ball tomorrow, right? XD

[scrattcacoon]

Ooc:; Don't want Razor Leaf. Switch Growl for Encore. What's the difference between Recover and Refresh? And yes, in fact, Reggie asked him.

Bic:;
"Hm? That girl you were talking to earlier? No I don't mind." Reg seemed kind of subdued, her eyelids hooded. The Togepi, now in her arms, mumbled a few enthusiastic chirps then fell silent. "We also need to find me something to wear to that ball you mentioned." She grinned softly, took a deep breath of the fresh air as they left the crowd, and looked up at the sky as she followed Jesse. "And I could use the training. It might build my confidence for the upcoming gym battle." Her head rolled forward and she stared at his back for a moment as they continued on their way to the mart. "I'm still not sure if I'm ready..." Her heart thumped against her chest like a steady drum beat, she was nervous just thinking about it. She looked back at the trainers still at the jewel, took another deep breath and quickened her pace so she was walking beside him rather than behind him. "What's the gym leader like? Got any advice?"

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: Okay, okay, and Recover, ehhh, recovers (XD) up to half of the user's hp, while Refresh heals Poisoning, Paralysis, or a Burn. So, do you want Refresh?

Bic:

"Alright," Jesse weaved through the crowd, every once in awhile turning back to check if Regina was still close behind. Having heard her mention the ball again made him tense. "Ehh?" The sudden change of topic to the dance caused severe anxiety--- Jesse was completely nervous about what may or will happen the next day. "Err, yes, if you want, we could head on over to-" He stopped, gulped, and then continued, "Emma's for a dress." Having never truly liked the 'old lunatic,' Jesse dispised knowing the fact that, some time that day, they'd be at her little shop.

Now having escaped the wretched crowd, there seemed to be a considerably more amount of room. Mainly he noticed this when Reg jogged up along side of him, though. "Aye," He sighed, realizing that a tough battle lies before Reggie. "Training would be best. Although Xavier only trains normal types, he is still a pretty fierce battler, you know? He has one Flying-type, so..." He trailed off, only to get back on topic in a matter of seconds. "My advice to you? Don't rely on brute force---do what you're best at---strategic combinations. That's how I beat 'im." He smiled, truly expecting Reg to get through just fine.

[scrattcacoon]

Ooc:; Nah, I'll stick with Recover. =3

Bic:; "Emma's..." Reg said the name slowly as she tapped a finger to her chin and looked around as they walked, absentmindedly. "Okay..." As they talked about the battle it was her turn to stress. "Snover will handle the flying type no problem. A few ice attacks will take care of that. And I was running over strategies for half of the night." She sighed. "The training will probably make me feel more prepared. I won't be able to relax until we do." Giving a half hearted smile, they were just outside the Mart.

Ooc:; Let's go in the Pokemart now?

[scrattcacoon]

Ooc:; Yay! I'm so glad I'm back on Nahra! And you will be too, because I'll try and help out lots. And maybe that'll make it easier for ya.

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: Alright...let's go! -dashes away- -remembers other post- Oops...

-reads- Eh? Yeah! I ish glad! It felt so bleak without your English expertise, to say the least. And welcome back! =]

"Hmm...This looks interesting," Marisa said, eyeing the Jewel. "Come on out, everyone!" she said, as she released all six of her pokemon. "Okay you guys, you can go ahead and touch this jewel here," she said, gesturing to it. They all looked a little confused, but followed their trainer's instructions.


Edit:
OOC: Ack, I just noticed the Team Opal attack XD

[.:~Majic~:.]

Sam held two Pokeballs and looked at them. One had an eye painted on it (this was Wizard's Pokeball) and the other had a blade of grass (this was Herun's). She tossed both into the air, releasing Heracross and Meditite. Next to Sam, an Eevee jumped up and down excitedly. Sam looked down at the Eevee and said, "No, I don't want you to touch it again. Something bad might happen." She picked up the green-collared Eevee and stroked the Normal Type while she said, "Okay, Herun, Wizard, the two of you can go touch the Mystic Jewel. It should help the two of you a lot." Both of them nodded and ran off to try to get some power from the Mystic Jewel.

[Et Cetera]

Officer Jenny stepped between the twelve Pokémon and the shattered remains of the Mystic Jewel. The purple debris was strewn in an area of about thirty feet and it was all marked off with orange tape reading "CAUTION: DO NOT CROSS." She raised a megaphone. "I'm sorry, but no one is allowed to touch or use the Jewel, as it is in horrid disrepair. We're unsure when it'll be re-opened, but there is currently an investigation going on. Team Opal was responsible for this..." Quickly and very sharply, Jenny added, "And remember--- any sightings of a young woman with an Aerodactyl and Absol are to be immediately reported to a police station or a PC. Rewards will be offered to those with information leading to her capture..."

[.:~Majic~:.]

Herun hurried back to Sam and hid behind her legs. She returned him to his Pokeball, frowing. Picking up the Eevee, she muttered, "Why am I not surprised that Team Opal is behind this. And that girl with the Absol, no less." She sighed and turned away, deciding that she would try to find Jesse. Maybe he would want to head out.
