Nero walked along the rainbow fields, the mystical rainbow ball in his hand. He was looking for his rainbow Gallade. He dutifully released Clio from her pokeball. She'd known him the longest. Well, apart from...
Ninurta
Nero shook the thought to the back of his mind, unwilling to be burdened by his already traumatic past...
He continued along, and then had an epiphany. A vain creatures likes to look at itself. And the rainbow river provides reflection! He raced to the bank of the thin, spectrum river that snaked through the field, near indistinguishable amongst the flurry of colours...

<What are you doing?> a voice asked from across the river. It sounded bored.
Laying under an exceptionally large Rainbow tree, lay a rainbow Gallade. On both sides of him, Rainbow Kirlias stood, each waving a Rainbow palm in order to keep the larger pokemon cool. The Gallade looked just as bored as he sounded, and he watched Nero with a sort of dissinterest that could only be pulled off by one such as himself. <You know, the river isn't going anywhere...> Sigh. <Why don't you fetch me some grapes?> One of the Kirlia's dropped her palm and went away, pressumably to find grapes.

Tems was drawn from her pokeball. Oh dear. Tems could argue. <HEY! GALLADE! THERE'S THIS LITTLE THING CALLED WALKING! YOU GO TO YOUR GRAPES, YOU PICK THEM UP, AND YOU BRING THEM BACK! D'YOU GET THAT, MR. GRAPES?>
Nero put his head into his hands. Suddenly, Tems was drawn out too.
Oh dear.
Nero made a mental note to himself. Get stronger pokeballs to keep his pokemon in.
Tethys swam out into the water, and began to pirouette. She sighed at her own reflection, and gazed narcissistically at herself. Nero just sighed, and Tems continued her rant.
<AND ANOTHER THING! WHY THE HECK ARE THESE KIRLIA FANNING YOU? DO THEY EVEN GET PAID? THERE'S THIS LITTLE THING CALLED POKEMON RIGHTS! AND THESE KIRLIA ARE BEING USED FOR CHILD LABOUR! BELIEVE ME, THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF POKEMON WILL BE HEARING ABOUT THIS, YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT! I'M TAKING IT TO SPP! YOU...> Nero quickly put his hand over Tem's mouth to stop her insulting the Gallade further. In anger, she bit him, and then perched on his shoulder, evidently angry.
"Sorry about that," said Nero, "I'm not quite sure what to say..."

Fortunately, Nero didn't have to say anything at all. It appeared that the Gallade had failed to hear anything that Tems was saying...or else he was just doing a very good job of ignoring her. Either way, he looked just as bored as before.
A few moments later, the Kirlia came back, a few berries in tow.
<Sorry sir, I couldn't find the grapes.>
<No grapes?> the Gallade asked. He turned his nose up at the berries, refusing the offering with a sigh. Poor Kirlia looked as though her heart had been torn into pieces. Then, the Gallade got up, slowly, as though it pained him to do even that. He walked towards the river and proceeded to stare at his own reflection.
<My, I am handsome today,> the pokemon said to himself, but loud enough for everyone to hear.
<He's so gorgeous!> a number of pokemon sang in unison. Apparently this happened quite frequently.

Sil came out of HIS pokeball and bagan sining along, laughing loopily. Even Nero couldn't help smile. He Snuck up behind the rainbow Gallade, and picked up a fistful of rainbow mud, and gave him a rainbow SPLAT!.
<Not so handsome now, are we?> trilled Tems. Tethys, clearly enamoured cleared him off with a Water Pulse. <Nonsense, he's lllluuuurrrrrvvelllyy.....> <No, he really isn't.> "Guys, guys, hello, off topic!"<I mean, he's a self-centred, vain, lazy bum who can't be bothered to even turn an eye towards his Kirlia. Why do they work for him anyway?><Because he's so luuuuuurrrvvvvveeeeellllllyyyy.....>
Nero sighed again. "Right, that's it, you're all coming back! Except for Clio." Clio looked smugly at them. Nero returned his pokemon and then turned to the Gallade.
"Sorry about that..."

The Gallade was obviously offended by the rainbow mud. He would have attacked the other pokemon if Nero hadn't been so quick to return it. Oh, excuse me. Gallade would have never fought himself. Perhaps I should make myself clearer and say "Gallade would have sent an army of Kirlia and other admirers to put his attacker in his place." For that was exactly what he was about to do when the other pokemon disappeared with the red beam of a pokeball. Well, at least that one pokemon had said he was lurvely. Not that he didn't know it already.
And once again, the Gallade ignored Nero's words. Instead, the pokemon simply nodded at where the Lapras used to swim and returned to his spot where the two Kirlia once again fanned him with their palm branches.
<So, tell me ladies,> he said.
<You are beautiful.>
<You are so handsome and fabulous.>
The Gallade smiled. Sort of.

Nero smiled wryly. It wouldn't fight.
"Hey, Teth! Tell this fine gallade how lovely he is!" he said, smiling, a glint in his eye. Teth was released, and began her chant of "You're so luuurrvveeeelllyyyy...." to the Gallade. Next thing he knew, there was a flurry of Ember flying towards him, coupled with a wing attack. Seems like Tems and Clio had been released too...

The Gallade hardly seemed to notice the oncoming attacks. Then, he did something...well, not much. The pokemon snapped his fingers. In seconds, a rainbow Spinarak appeared, then another, and another. The spider pokemon managed to create some sort of webby guard, protecting the Gallade from the oncoming attacks. The pokemon snapped his fingers once more, and the Spinarak were gone, but numerous water pokemon had peeped their heads out of the river. They all shot water guns at Nero's pokemon.

Despite being relatively oblivious to the oncoming attack, Tems remained relatively unscathed. After all, she was Nero's strongest pokemon, and had no visible weakness to the water. Clio, on the other hand, screamed in pain, and then fell limp. Fainted by the cascade of flourishing water attacks. Clio looked at her sister, and in fury, she disrespectfully spat in the Gallade's face.
"Tempeste," began Nero, taking a step forward, aiming to seperate the two factions. "Be nice."
<Nice?>said Tems, staring knives into the Gallade.<That THING attacked us! It's hostile intent! HOSTILE INTENT!>
Nero sighed, then pulled Tems back.
"Well, you did attack him first. Are you sure that you're not just a little... well, biased" said Nero.
Tems turned away her nose with a final "Humph", and Nero was left to pick up the pieces. He fought his way through the web-guard, and stood in front of the Gallade.
"Again, I'm very, truly sorry." said Nero, apologising profusely. He recalled the Gallade not listening before, so he resumed the conversation. "So... you seem ... popular. Lots of... losts of friends, lots of people around you... Umm... do you, like, i dunno, travelling, or..." Nero stopped abruptly. He never was any good at this. He recalled his first conversation with Clio. He'd been lost for words.
"I'm going to cut to the chase. I think, that inside, deep, deep inside you're a great guy, and I'd love it if you were to come along with me in my travels. I've even got a special, unique rainbow ball, just for you, see? Isn't that great? So what do you say?"

Unfortunately, the Gallade heard nothing of what Nero said (not that he had a habit of listening anyways.) The pokemon was too distracted by Clio's spit which had landed on his nose. The rainbow pokemon was now running around, screaming. His words were so slurred together in furry and fear that it was almost as though he were speaking in an entirely different language.
His admirers looked one with extreme worry, and those who didn't seemed to pity the pokemon.
Gallade was in such a Frenzy that he didn't notice the tree coming his way. The pokemon slammed into the thick trunk so hard. If that blow didn't cause him to faint, the rather large branch that fell atop him after the fact surely would have.
Silence.

"Note to self," thought Nero, sighing. "Sign up Gallade for counselling..."
He took out a handkerchief, and gingerly rubbed the spittle off the nose of the Gallade. Then he picked up the rainbow ball and threw it at the quietly resting figure. Then he turned to Tems, not even looking at the outcome of his capture attempt.
"Tempeste! What did I say about behaviour? If I can't trust you, I won't let you out. And that's a fact, young lady." He returned all of his pokemon, then sat patiently by the still shaking pokeball, waiting for an answer.

The pokeball shook a few times before the familiar PING! sound was heard.
Nero caught the Rainbow Gallade! ((Stats)) Nickname: (you choose) Species: Rainbow Gallade Gender: Male Level: 23 Attacks: Double Team, Teleport, Fury Cutter, Slash Ability: Steadfast Persona: Vain
All was silent for a moment longer. Then, the collective sounds of cheering and tears was heard. Freedom of the opressed, heartbreak of the obsessed. Go figure.

"No hesitation in your name, Your vanity is a collossus, your ego is magnanimous, and I name thee, Narcissus, the self admirer..."
Nero picked up the rainbow ball, and carried on walking, straight out of the rainbow fields...
