~!~ A Strange Gathering ~!~ (PLOT)

[PBK]

The normally quiet atmosphere near the lake was disrupted by sirens from a police motorcycle. Officer Jenny halted her motorcycle right in front of a small gathering which consisted of a couple of pokemon nurses, as well as an anonymous bystander with a camera.

"Okay, make room, make room!" the officer yelled, though she could have easily gone to the other side of what they were looking at. Apparently, she just liked to hear her own voice. She soon saw what all the commotion was about. A strange message had been written in the sand.

Someone had written "ARK HA|" in the sand.

"I suppose that...well, I'm guessing that that line at the end is supposed to be an exclamation point," the officer said. But she didn't seem to be so sure herself.

[Matt // Annie]

"Maybe its the letter L,but who ever was righting this had to left or was scared and made the line?" annie said walking up and threw the group.she had just heard what the officer had said.She looked down and the writing.'Ark ha' what could that mean? maybe it was poketunge annie thought,but no pokemon says ark ha something does it?

"Or maybe the line is the start of a arrow or a box that was going to go around the words?" annie said still unsure of this whole sitchuion."So anyway What does it mean? and who did it?" annie asked to the officer,Her voice showed her confusion.As annie finshed her last words Nicky jumped into her arms and hikoura held onto annies leg,alittle scared."its okay Nicky and hikoura!" annie said in a reosuring voice.She patted there heads and hugged them close.

Standing up again annie faced the officer to wait for the anwser to her questions.So many things going around annies head.Why was this put into the sand?What was that line? why in the sand and why here? and why now? so many things for annie to think about,it was starting to make her head hurt.

Aveon noticed a crowed in the distance she sent Spikedwind to chack it out he flew over to listen. Aveon stayed with the water pokemon so nobody would bother them.

occ The water pokemon I`m talking about is in the post, STOP 2

((OOC: Plot? Yes! I've been waiting for one of these.))

Astra glared at the writing in the sand. After asking one of the people milling around to tell her what the message said, (she really needed English lessons) she began to puzzle it out.

<Ark Ha,> she mused. After minutes of staring at the words, she smiled triumpantly, <Arcanine. Like Arcanine. So where's the nine? Route 9? Isn't that the Bicycling Road?>

[PBK]

ooc|| Yesh. I <3 plots too...they are really the only thing worth RPing most of the time. We will start shortly...I'm just trying to get a few more members. Also, I'm going to be enforcing a 3-line minimum for this plot. (Though I'd prefer longer posts.) This is only because well, for one, we need a decent amount of description to keep it going and one liners annoy me and anyone can write three lines if they try.

[PBK]

ooc||Flyeon, please try to type 3+ lines for the plot. Thanks.

Suddenly a figure dressed in all black jumped from the trees. He was wearing a cape...how inconspicuous. He just stared at the trainers gathered for a little while, seeming to size the group up. In all honesty, he could have just as easily been looking up into the trees. He was wearing tinted glasses.

"What do you want?" Officer Jenny asked.

Without saying a word, a crimson light released a mighty Fearow. The bird type squawked loudly, glaring at the trainers, daring them to make a move. She flapped her wings a few times before settling down.

"You can listen to my demands," the figure said slowly, softly, "Or, it will be my pleasure to elliminate you."

ooc|| I admit...I'm stalling. Waiting for others.

[~A trainer with dreams~]

< Come on trainers get your pokemon please!>Spikedwind cawked.
He flew up the Farrow <Hey I know you! It is me the sparrow that was a new recruit my name is Spikedwind now!>

[Matt // Annie]

"Like we would listen to you!" A voice called out from nowhere.Suddenly from the otherside of some sand dunes walked a blonde man,that looked in his late 20's.Behide him walked a blue Electivire.Blue? whats with that.The young Man slowly strod down the mound towards the dark figer that had just come from the trees.The Electivire was close behide."What right do you have hiding in the trees like a scared little child then jumping out and saying people have to follow your orders eh?" Matt said in a strong voice walking up to the figer and waving his finger.

The odd thing was is that Matt had and was never seen around Kantex.He had just appeared from nowhere.The blue Electivire that stood behide Matt sparked loudly watching as his trainer spoke to the dark figer.He watched with his red eyes,watching for any sudden moves.Zackera As the blue Electivire is called also watched the fearow.Zack didn't like this pokemon or its trainer.

[~A trainer with dreams~]

Aveon herad Spikedwind yell to the trainers she went to the crowd "Spikedwind come down here please trainers I think Furystar said she wanted to battle so let her please , ok Furystar do your stuff use tackle go!" Furystar threw a strong attack at fearow.
<Wait!> Spikedwind yelled but it was to late Furystar already lauched the attack.

[PBK]

The figure just laughed. "Well, it would be in your best interest to listen to me," he said, then added, "But I'm sure that other arrangements can be made." He nodded to his Fearow, who was now up in the trees due to dodging the oncoming attack from Furystar. The Fearow nodded and squawked once more, before soaring up into the air, her great wings creating small gusts of wind as she flew.

"So," the cloaked figure asked, "What'll it be?" Fearow squawked again from above.

[~A trainer with dreams~]

<Please don`t hurt my firends!>Spikedwind yelled at the farrow.<Don`t you remembar me> He yelled again.

Furystar flew in the air cause the fearrow`s wings were so strong and landed hard on a rock "NO!" Aveon ran over to Furystar.

Furystar could not move her leg it was proubly broken Aveon noticed she started to cry and her sobs turned into anger.

"YOU FREAK!" she yelled at the figure 'You don`t have no respect for pokemon!"

[Matt // Annie]

Ooc: I Belive that your Eevee named furystar does not have wings.So please do not rp her flying.Also There is no need for the smileys.If you say your trainer is crying then we know.

[PBK]

ooc|| I am this freaking close to quitting this site. To keep my sanity up, I am only replying to this plot. I am not modding anything else at the moment. If you need a thread replied to, please ask Gravon or Beary. Please.

Just a little review here. Do not use smilies, chatspeak, or little asterisks to denote an action in the role play. You can use them in ooc, but that's it. And, use some form of "ooc." This is just basic RP etiquette. From now on, I'm giving warnings, then, I'm going to start temporarily banning people. It's not fun when I have to try and decode a one-liner; I have better things to do with my time, as do the other mods.

"Aveon`s tighting her fist she ran toward the figure super fast and striked fighting with the figure."

That, is considered powerplaying. You can not say that you strike my character. You can say that you attempt to, then, I have a chance to make my character avoid the action.

Also,

belive -> believe
tighting -> tightening or tightened
evee -> eevee

And punctuation needs to be use in ooc, as well as not.

Please. I try to be nice, but this whole thing has gone to far.

"I don't have no respect for pokemon? You seem to lack respect for the English language," the figure said, laughing a little. "As for my respect of pokemon, you don't know the meaning of respect. If I remember correctly, it was you who suggested a battle in the first place, you who sent out the first attack even though it was obviously a mismatch. I never ordered my pokemon to attack yours in any way. Fearow was merely avoiding an attack. It's not my fault you're pokemon's too weak to stand up to some gusts created by mine flying." He paused, glaring through his cloak. "So, perhaps you should take this as a warning, and quit before I have to tell Fearow here to attack. I don't play games little girl."

[~A trainer with dreams~]

occ|| Sorry PBK I was a little cranky yesterday please don`t quit sorry Matt I`ll delete those posts I made about that.Yeah, I was going to edit that but I forgot my mom had to make a phone call so I had to get off.


bic|| "Well I thought you would stop, but there is one attack I can that would help, I do know how to talk, at least I don`t use my pokemon for crime I take care of them and protecet them with my life, You do play games what you just did telling people to do orders is stupid!"
Princess knew what she was saying quitly nobody saw her she snuck up on fearrow and used sleep powder.

[Radio]

((ooc: O-o So much has happened in one week. Sorry I haven't posted, but Church Camp was calling. And I forgot to tell everyone that I was temporarily away. So yeah.

And PBK, please don't quit. You're truly an amazing roleplayer, much better than most people I know.))

Astra couldn't understand a word of what the two people were saying, but she did understand that she didn't want the caped man as a foe. So, instead of following Aveon's lead and attacking, she grinned and held up her hand to him.

<Hello, I'm Astra. And, as no one has seemingly tried to figure out yet, there is probably much more of a reason for police and nurses to be here. Writing in the sand could not stir up a commotion such as this, and you seem like you know what's going on. You probably can't understand me at the mo', but if you can, if you could have the courtesy to explain this mess to me.>

[PBK]

It was cooler now as late afternoon turned to evening.

"Well you are rather judgemental young miss," the cloaked figure said to Aveon. He laughed a little. "Just assuming I'm a criminal." A smile formed from beneath his glasses. "If I remember correctly, it's your pokemon who att-" he stopped suddenly turning around with a speed almost inhuman to look at his Fearow. "Your pokemon to attack."

The Fearow who had been in the air had keen sight and instantly spotted the sparkly dust. The pokemon flapped her large wings, sending the powder back towards Butterfree.

"In fact, even after warning you, I'd say you're still asking for a fight!" then, in a more hushed tone, "And my Fearow isn't as merciful as I am."

The man was about to order his Fearow to attack when he heard Astra's voice. Surprisingly, he did seem to understand, and answered her in pokespeak as well. But it was strange- bird-type tongue with a sort of fire dialect, unlike any other pokemon one might come across. There was something else in there, but it was impossible to say what- rock? steel? maybe ground?

<Glad somebody's into listening,> the man crowed, <I am here merely to warn the inhabitants of Kantex of what is to come...before it's too late. Believe me. Beating my pokemon is the least of your worries. Even if you are able, there are those much stronger...much, much stronger. So, I suggest you listen to my warnings; consider me a messenger- a messenger of->

He stopped suddenly, a shocked expression on his face.

ooc|| Now, for this last part, keep in mind whether or not your trainer can understand poke-speak, or this particular dialect. You choose, but just something to keep in mind.

[Matt // Annie]

ooc: GAH! sorry for posting this here but I only have a few more seconds of internet...I'm not going to be here sorry! I'll be away untill the start of next month..Again sorry for posting here!!Bye!

[Radio]

((ooc: You know, I'd really rather hold out for someone to post, but no one has yet. Curse you Kantex Community, I have to be brave now. D:))

Astra's brains strained to comprehend the bird-type variation although the fire dialect helped her to understand better then she could've, letting her get the basic idea of things. Like the fact that he was a messenger of something. But what? He never finished his sentence.

<Sir, sir!> Astra asked urgently a tinge of fear in her voice, <What's wrong? Who's coming?>

She worried that it was Rocket. If it was[ them, then she might as well be buying her boat ticket now. She wan't going to be in Kantex with them around.

[PBK]

The sun disappeared behind the horizon.

But Astra's words were not heard. The same look of fear and shock on the man's face (even visible through the black glasses) was mimicked on his Fearow's. The Fearow, as if taken over by another being, swooped down, straight for her trainer. It looked as though she were going to strike her trainer, but when they collided, the figure of the fearow consumed that of the man, clothes and all.

The pokemon was now much larger than it was before, much larger than any regular Fearow could grow to in nature. The pokemon's color had changed to shades of grey, black, and red. A freak look was in it's face, almost demonic. The pokemon screeched, flapping it's unusually large wings. It was only on the ground for a moment before disappearing into the night sky.

[Mac]

(OOC: Gosh dang it, sorry I was late. Darkaan got me confused and everything...)

(IC:)

Just as the Fearow left, another trainer arrived. Mac looked out into the crowd from a distance and was now full of curiosity. "What do you think it is?" Mac asked Larvitar. Larvitar didn't really reply, he didn't know either. With the curiosity, the two approached the group to see what they were doing. It wasn't a organization, unless it included officers, but something was going on.

Now close to the group, Mac tried to see whatever they were looking at. Was someone killed? A new Pokemon discovered? Some type of environmental problem? Aliens discovered? It was too dark to tell by looking at the surroundings.

[~A trainer with dreams~]

Princess fell asleep Furystar caught her Aveon was releved her leg was not brocken "Yes!"
< I wonder what got to her but I wonder if she remembered me?> Spikedwind said out loud.

[PBK]

ooc|| Evee- Please edit your post so it is at least three lines long. I'm very picky about this for the sake of keeping the plot understandable.

bic||

Just then, a teenage girl rode up on a black Ponyta. The Ponyta had a freaked look on her face, but the girl seemed incredibly happy. The Pokemon was going so fast that she ran right past the group, and the trainer had to turn her around in order to join them. Finally, she managed to quiet her pokemon, but still didn't get too close to the group, as not to freak the pokemon in training more than she already was.

"Allo," the girl said, "I'm Jai. And this here is Dezzy." The girl Jai was still smiling. "My friend, he should be here any moment now, well, he said y'all were having a problem here." Wow, she was more talkative than usual.

---

The Officer only slightly nodded at the arrival of Mac and Jai. She seemed far too preoccupied with another thought. Where the Fearow/Man had left, there was now a small pool of blood. It was only a few centimeters in diameter- but enough to suspect fowl play of some sort. ((hehehehe....fowl play...fearow....okay, it wasn't that funny...))

[Darkaan]

A magmar entered the scene, followed by an electabuzz, then a victreebel followed by a larvitar... They saw Jai and her shadow ponyta and headed towards her.
<Darkaan should be hear any minute now...> Mortochi (larvitar), said to Fai.
<Hey look!> Marco said, pointing out on Maley Lake.

Vain-Glory refused to look as Darkaan's pokemon turned to the lake.
<SWEEET!>

Darkaan was out on the lake, air surfing on the back of his mantine, just skimming the surface of the lake, doing air somersaults.

Thundigar applauded and Siloam hissed, rather impressed for once.
<Ssshowoff!> Siloam said, Vain-Glory nodding in approval.
Siloam rolled his eyes. <Trust that trainer to enter big on a scene!>
Marco scowled at Siloam's comment.

They focussed their attention on the sand writing and the officers.
Soon enough Darkaan hit the shores and jumped off Tek.
Darkaan sided beside Jai who was on Dez.
He smiled up at her.

He saw the weird markings on the sand.
"That's it?" He said to Jai, quite loud. "All the commotion is about some dumb markings? What gives?" He said laughing in disbelief.

[PBK]

ooc|| Well, usually, I'd wait for more people to post...but under the circumstances, it's been a week...so, I s'pose that this must go on.

bic||

The croud began to dwindle, and soon, most had left, leaving only the officer and a few of the trainers.

"Well, that was strange," the officer said, biting her lip, "Very strange indeed." She looked rather young to be an officer, or perhaps it was just because she was short. Either way, she appeared to be no more than a teenager like the rest of them. "Well, you guys are trainers, right?" Like it wasn't completely obvious. "Perhaps you could help us with this one? I'm afraid that Kantex is sorely short on police at the moment. Anyways, trainer's like yourselves tend to be better equipped for this kind of thing- I'm almost certain that we'll be doing a lot of work off of the main route." The girl had a pleading look on her face.

---

Jai looked at the officer skeptically. It just seemed unreal that the fate of Kantex would rest on their shoulders once again. How long had it been since Herald had threatened the peace. She had barely made it to the next town, and here, this officer was, already asking for more help. And hadn't there been plenty of officers when Herald had been captured. Oh well, it wasn't like she didn't have time to save the world again.

"Sure, whaddaya say Darkaan?" she asked, smiling at the boy. Dez flicked her firey tail, warning the others not to come too close to her or her trainer. It was kind of funny to see- such a delicate pokemon acting all tough.

[Darkaan]

Darkaan heard the officer out and smirked at Jai's question.
"I say bring it on!!!" He said, hamming up his voice.

He leant over and whispered something into Jai's ear.
"By the way! Siloam is no longer an ekans!!!" Darkaan said, trying to contain his grin. He wanted to see her reaction. He wanted her to be proud of him!
