A new day ends (Rozalin/mod)

[determinedguardian]

The path stretched before him. Devia and the female Riolu walked on either side of him. He felt happy traveling with these pokemon. He felt that his plans to purify the world would come to fruition with such amazing companions. Rozalin didn’t seem too bad either. Bill saw Starly’s flying above him heading towards the berry forest. The sun was beginning to set. It would probably be a good idea to get to the next town before setting up camp though.

Rozalin followed behind Bill, her Pokemon obidently following on either side of her. The Riolu walking in front of her, "I don't know why," she says, "But, for some reason, I always have enjoyed sunset above any other time of the day..." The sun is a deep orange in color, with stars and the Moon faintly visible in the opposite direction. "Bill..." Rozalin says, "What are your motives, as a Trainer...? I don't mean to be nosey but, since I met you, your motives are one of the things that have been nagging my thoughts..."

[determinedguardian]

Bill was a bit taken aback. He didn’t want to tell Rozalin his plan for the world. He just didn’t trust her enough.

“I didn’t think that working in the lab would get me anywhere. So, I headed out on my own,” he said. It wasn’t a lie exactly but he did leave out a considerable amount of detail.

“What about you?” Bill asked. He didn’t particularly care but he felt that it was the socially correct thing to ask. Devia looked up at Bill. She didn’t think that Bill was the type to have meaningless conversation. She hadn’t been with him long but even she could tell that he preferred pokemon to people.

Rozalin smiles, knowingly, but decides to keep further questions to herself, "I am here to become the best Dark Type Pokemon Trainer. My father and mother passed away when I was little, so I was taken care of by their servants. Then, when I was 16, I left my mansion to travel the world...I made a friend in a small Eevee that I raised into an Umbreon...But, she passed away as well...Now, I guess I'm just living on a dream..." Cereberus wimpers and Carol sobs. The Riolu wipes a tear from his eye, "Madam, that is so sad..."

OOC: You control the female one now.

[determinedguardian]

Bill was touched by her story. He could tell that she truly loved the Umbreon that she had raised as much as he loved Devia and the Riolu. Devia let tears run down her face but Riolu held them back. Riolu never cared for dark-types and felt no compassion for them.

“I’m sorry to hear that,” Bill said.

“We all live on dreams. Don’t forget that,” he added. It sounded corny even as he said it but that didn’t make it any less true. Bill was living on his dream for a pure world.

Rozalin smiled, she was begining to like Bill, though she'd never tell him, "I caught wind of a large lake near here. Many rare Water-Types can be found there, and it may be worth searching..." Cereberus and Carol both were chattering with the Riolu.

[determinedguardian]

"That sounds good," Bill said. Devia didn't seem sure about that, as a ground-type she didn't like the prospect of fighting a water type. Riolu didn't seem too interested either way. She was just glad to be walking around with Bill and Devia. Bill wondered how he was going to catch a pokemon without an attack move. He'd have to be really creative with Devia's moves.

[Pocket Monster Trainer Onyx]

Rozalin notices Bill's perplextion, "If you're wondering about how to catch another Pokemon with one that doesn't know any attacks, you could borrow Carol. Cereberus is no good against Water."

[determinedguardian]

"Thanks," he said. It was nice of her to offer to lend him her pokemon. Bill wouldn't so willingly let another trainer use Devia so willingly. Maybe Rozalin though. She didn't seem to be a horrible person. Maybe she could even be an ally in the purification. Maybe...

[Pocket Monster Trainer Onyx]

Rozalin smiles, happy that Bill had accepted her offer, "Great. If you find a Pokemon you'd like to catch, Carol is ready to help. Carol," She says, "Why don't you and Bill take a moment to get to know each other while I lead us to the lake..?" Carol shakes her head and walks alongside Bill, looking at him curiously. Rozalin leads the group with Cereberus to her left and the male Riolu to her right, "Madam Rozalin," the Riolu says, "What Pokemon are you insearch of?" Rozalin hums a moment before answering, "Feebas...I am aware of their...Unappealing body and lack of attacks, but with love and care, Feebas can evolve into the most gorgeous Pokemon known to man...Milotic..." She says the last word with a dreamy tone, "When I was little, my butler took me to a lake near my mansion...I went swimming and after a while, I grew tired...I began to swim back to shore, but my leg cramped and I began to sink...My butler called out to me, but I didn't reemerge...As I sank, I began to lose conciousness...But, before I blacked out, I saw her...Milotic...When I wake up, my butler was over me, sobbing...He said that a Milotic had rged from the water with me on its tail fin...The Milotic brought me to shore, and then left..." The Riolu looks at her with awe, "I must say , Madam, you are full of tear-jerking stories..." Rozalin snaps out of her trance and smiles, "Yes...My childhood could most definitely not be considered perfect..."

[determinedguardian]

"Hey there Carol," Bill said cheerfully to the pokemon. Bill had a great deal of respect for the little pokemon. She was quite the fighter. He would be honored to be in the company of such a pokemon.

[Pocket Monster Trainer Onyx]

Carol smiled cheerfully "Thanks!" she said in her bubbly voice. Rozalin smiled, she was happy to have a traveling companion, and one with such intense love for Pokemon, much like her own. Rozalin led the group to the lake, a large expansive and clear body of water that was dyed pink in the sunset above.

[determinedguardian]

"This is pretty isn't it Devia?" Bill said to his pokemon as he watched the water.

<Yeah.> she said. Devia rested her bone club on her shoulder. Devia had started to take a liking to Rozalin. She seemed like a nice person. Bill was starting to consider bringing her as an accomplice to his quest for world domination.

[Pocket Monster Trainer Onyx]

Rozalin blushed when she noticed Bill glancing at her for a moment. Cereberus trotted over to a shady tree and plopped down for a rest. The male Riolu walked to the edge of the lake and looked down, eyes aglow with aura, "Madam, you said the Pokemon Feebas was your target, correct?" Rozalin walked over to stand beside the Riolu, "Yes, why?" she answered looking into the water as well. "I see one, somewhat capable in battle...Female...Mild in nature..." Rozalin is impressed, "Very well," The Riolu's aura stopped flowing and he look ed up at Rozalin, "Shall I dive in and get it?" Rozalin looks slightly confused, "You see, we Riolu are adept fish catchers. I can easily collect the Feebas for you, as for capturing it, that is your duty, not mine." Rozalin nodded, "Of course, proceed." The Riolu nodded and dove into the clear waters, swimming down to an unknowing Feebas, whom was happily nibbling on some underwater flowers.
