Pokemon Neo MUCK RP - Maychu - Befriending a Hitmonlee

<OOC> May lee! Nah, it don't fit.
<OOC> Sharlena smirks, and waves to May n.n;
<OOC> May bee! ^_^; That's better!
<OOC> Sharlena giggles

Sharlena wanders down the path from Fushia, humming softly to herself. It's days like this she's glad she found an place before the apartments filled up. Sure, it's a little early in the year to go swimming, but a trip to the beach every so often to take a break from the various wanderings of trainerdom is always nice. That, and it's really convenient for the assortment of water pokemon she has when they need a break, too.

<OOC> Hitmonlee says, "Sorry. I just got my ear talked off by my aunt. x_o;"
<OOC> Sharlena eeks and pats. Aunts are like that. Especially when they have nothing at all to talk about. -.c
<OOC> May o_O;'s and hugs Hitmonlee! >_>; "Evil!"
<OOC> Hitmonlee nods! "She talked about some play for*ever.* x_o; I just sat there: ahah. Mhmm. Sounds interesting. Oooh. Wow! Cool. Ahah. Hmm. I can imagine." x_x;
<OOC> Sharlena says, "Sounds like a usual relative conversation"
<OOC> Hitmonlee also, eats her first bite of food all day. Wagh. I was starting to shake there. c_c;
<OOC> Sharlena says, "Take your time. n.n I've got all afternoon. No hurry. n.n"
<OOC> Hitmonlee says, "Thank'ee. ^^;"
<OOC> Hitmonlee says, "Sorry, sorry. Will work on pose. Easily distracted. c_c;"
<OOC> Sharlena says, "Tis okay n.n"

With a light spring to his step, a Hitmonlee heads down the winding beach pathway, appearing in bright spirits. The sun shines brightly along his sleek hide, as his arms sway at his side. One would almost think such a 'mon would be else where, in a more 'wild' area. However, the fighting 'mon seems quite content to wander along the human-worn pathway, which leads down to the beach below. After all, who said that beaches and the like were human-access only? He wants to soak up some rays, too.

<OOC> Kendra sits down and waits her turn like a good girl. n.n
<OOC> Hitmonlee says, "Fweep. n_n;"

Well, that explains why Hitmonlees have a tan hide, now doesn't it? -.n; Sharlena is in similar high moods, strolling on her way, not expecting to find a pokemon alone down here. Or, there's always Fightingmon around, usually bodybuilders and there Machokes and Machamps, showing off. But a wild one? Which is what makes Sharlena stop and doubletake as she crests one of the dunes along the path, even though she's seen and battled 'lees before. "Hey, is that a... It's got to be... Wonder if it's wild..." Curiousity perked, she picks up her pace a bit to get closer. And no, doesn't look for her pokedex. She's seen Hitmonlees before, and she -remembers- it, unlike certain trainers... c.c;

(Hitmonlee's @desc)

Long, springy legs, and a strong, tawny form.

(Level 12; Double Kick, Meditate, Rolling Kick)

Rather clueless to the presence of the trainer, Sharlena, the Hitmonlee continues his merry way along the pathway, curving his steps to a bend in the trail. Sand sprays from beneath his large, clawed feet, as his eyes glint in the golden sunlight. The soft breeze brushes against his hide, and a smile seems to flick from within his gaze; a very nice day, indeed. Could anything ruin it?

Sharlena huffs a bit, she's an athelete, and even she's having trouble catching up to the long-strided Hitmonlee. For a moment she ponders pulling out her Ponyta for a boost, then decides against it. Might scare the pokemon. "Hey, you, Hitmonlee! Wait up a moment!" Yes, she's calling to the pokemon like it was another person. Sharlena's one of those people that doesn't think of pokemon as just animals.

Kendra has arrived.

<OOC> Kendra comes back, after buying an HM. n.n
<OOC> Sharlena says, "Ooh, whatcha get?"
<OOC> Kendra says, "Fly."
<OOC> Sharlena says, "Whoo"
<OOC> Kendra says, "Which gives my Farfetch'd an actual attack besides Peck. >.>"
<OOC> Sharlena idly wonders if you can actually Fly places ICly here.
<OOC> May would think so. o.o;
<OOC> Kendra idles a bit.
<OOC> Kendra says, "Back."

As Sharlena's voice rings through the air, the Hitmonlee indeed comes to a halt; a very sudden one. He turns about slowly, gaze skimming warily behind him, before coming to rest briefly upon the trainer. He seems ... wary, yes, and even a touch disturbed. He turns about once more, and begins his pace, this time brisker -- not exactly interested in conversing with the human.

Sharlena huffs into her bangs as the Hitmonlee stops, only long enough to take off again. "Dangit, I just wanted to do this by talking." Stange, he'd be spooked by a human, yet he's headed towards the beach. Then again, it probably isn't that populate this time of year, even if Fushia doesn't get a real strong winter. "Well, I didn't want to do it this way, but..." The girl pulls out a pokeball, expands it, and with a strong toss lobs overhead, so it releases the pokemon in hopes of cutting off the Hitmon. "Static, go!" <Aaaaah! Evil C--waitamoment...> bleats the Mareep as he appears, eyeing the Hitmonlee. <You're not a cow.> Sharlena facepalms. "... Why me..."

Static has arrived.
Sharlena releases Static from its' pokeball.

Not quite spooked; more, agitated. Can't a 'lee be left in relative peace, to soak up some sunlight, and relax? No. He's got to be hunted down like some prey, by humans. He should have known better, expecting such. Already, he's being followed. Turning once more, as the flash of light catches his eye, the fightingmon eyes the Mareep. "<No. Leave me alone..>" Stepstepstep. He attempts to increase the pace.

Sharlena -was- going to just talk to him, but then he decided to keep running away. The sheepmon acks, ducking as the 'Lee darts by, and then looks up again. <I think she just wants to talk--> "Static, you're suppose to stop him!" The Mareep looks back to the girl as she catchs up. "So I could talk to him about joining the team." Pant pant. Good thing he doesn't know Agility yet. <Sharl, I don't think he wants to talk.." But Sharlena may be a nice trainer, but she's also incrediblly stubborn, taking after him again. Static sweatdrops, and scrambles to follow. <Hey, wait for meeeee!> "Why don't you make yourself useful, and zap him then?" <What happened to talking?> "Maybe if we show him how strong we are, he'll be more interested in talking about joining." <... Right... Ooookay.> But, being the obedient pokemon he is, Static curls up his tail, and shoots a Thundershock off the balled tip at the Hitmonlee. If anything, all this running built up some nice static electricity for power.

"<Talk?>" Queries the 'lee warily, pace slowing for a moment. Hm. Perhaps he *isn't* going to be hunted down, after all. A touch nervous, nerves on end, the fighting 'mon hesitates, pondering whether or not to offer conversation to the human. It could simply be an attempt at tricking him. "<I -->" words snap short, as the Mareep's Thundershock hits him dead on. Electricity courses through the Hitmonlee's lanky form, causing pain to roil across him. Her technique doesn't seem very effective; no longer is he even interested in the least in attempting contact - not for strength or kindness. Now, he just flat-out *runs* along the slope, despite his suffering HP. x_X; Bad, evil, horrid trainer. He knew it! He knew it!

Sharlena blinks as the Hitmonlee chooses NOW to turn around at her interest. "Static, no, ignore tha--" And right into being zapped. "Dang! Too late! You scared him!" Static sweatdrops, as the girl takes off down the slopes of sand again. <Attack, don't attack, make up your mind girl!> "Hey! I didn't mean to scare you! Come back! It was a misunderstanding, I thought you wanted to fight." Wouldn't be the first pokemon that made her fight to prove themselves. Such fickle minds they have. <Maybe we should just let him be...> "Com'n *huff*, come back already!" <She's a nice girl, really, but sometimes she just gets carried away with herself...> comments the sheep.

<OOC> Sharlena ARGHS. I'm being dragged away on family outing! x.x
<OOC> Sharlena has to go, now. x.x *mutters* Be back later tonight or tomorrow.

Nae, he never wanted to battle; all he wanted was a bit of peace and sunshine. However, Sharlena's calls are in vain, for he is speeding away across the sands, long, springed legs carrying him easily, putting greater distance 'tween himself and the wicked trainer. c_c; Looks like there's no catching this'n.

<OOC> Hitmonlee noddles. "It's oki.. Cause I think 'lee was on the run, anywho."
<OOC> Kendra eeps and hugs!
<OOC> Hitmonlee says, "Take care!"
<OOC> Sharlena says, "Oh, if yer gonna run away and give someone else a chance, go ahead, I understand n.n;"

Sharlena has disconnected.
Static falls asleep.

<OOC> Hitmonlee nods. "Didn' want t'hold.. Oki."
<OOC> Kendra says, "What now? o.o"
<OOC> Hitmonlee says, "I do believe May has a shot. c_c;"
<OOC> Kendra nods, "Kay then. n.n
<OOC> Hitmonlee says, "May?"
<OOC> Kendra says, "True nudging one of her alts. Maybe she's awake in another window."
<OOC> Kendra says, "Er, try."
<OOC> May raar!
<OOC> Kendra says, "Wanna catch the Hitmonlee? n.n"
<OOC> May will try! Just because it looks fun. ^_^
<OOC> Hitmonlee grins. n_n;
<OOC> Hitmonlee awaits a pose. n_n;

May, the girl that seems to be at some sort of beach on a regular basis, is at yet another beach. e_e; With the Pichu perched upon her shoulder, and the little lovable rotund form of a Poliwag held in her arms, the young trainer wannabe hops down the path of the beach. A little cheerful giggle is let out to her two companions as she comments about the weather to the two. "Let's hope it's not so cold down here!" she observes, "Or we'll never be able to get a swim!" The little Pichu nods profusely in agreement and grabs a stray strand of blonde hair from the hole of the cap from out of May's eyes, to help her trainer out. "Thanks Sparkle!" May squeaks cheerfully, "If this beach is too cold for Marina's liking, then we're going to Blackthorne and trying some ice skating!"

Sparkle has arrived.
You release Sparkle.

A Pichu! (Level 5; Thundershock, Charm)

Marina has arrived.
You release Marina.

A rotund water-mon with bright ebon optics, navy-blue skin, and a rounded tail. Her stomach is engulfed in an alabaster hue, and there's a swirl of ebony in its center. (( Level: 7, Attacks: Bubble, Hypnosis ))

<OOC> Hitmonlee says, "Meep.. Could you re-pose?"
<OOC> May says, "Sure. ^_^;"

<OOC> May peers at that pose. May = Makes no sense. o_O;
<OOC> Hitmonlee laughs!

May might just be surprised to find, the first thing greeting her as she steps onto the beach, is a rather worn-out looking Hitmonlee, who is sitting soberly in the pale, near-white sands, chest heaving. It took quite a bit of running to get away from that last trainer, and the electric attack delivered by her Mareep has weakened him some. Scorches, from the thundershock, are present 'pon his bronze-hued skin, and his eyes appear solemn, if not sad. Hunted, still. Always? Will he always have to run and hide from greedy trainers?

Emerald eyes do widen at the sight of seeing a fighting type Pokemon around this area, of all the places. No doubt owned, and possibly resting after doing some training. Fair curls are brushed aside as her movements slow to regard the fighting Pokemon further, to ponder whether or not to confront it. "<He looks tired,>" Sparkle states, obvserving and informing her trainer of the obvious. "<He looks beaten up...>" adds Marina. May stares towards the shocked Pokemon, eyes blinking curiously. The image in May's head is not pleasant, and she seems driven by impulse to see was is los. "Excuse me?" are the words that come out of the young trainer's mouth, "You don't look well enough to have some fun right now, do you?" May - first rule of thinking is to link everything with fun. Ahh the joys of youth!

As May appears, the Hitmonlee jolts obviously, seeming quite shocked, and, worried. Another trainer? He glances towards the Pichu, and then the Poliwag, nervously lifting his hands and clasping them together. Preparing to flee once more, despite his general exhaustion, the 'mon eyes May.. And then eases. Amusement flickers in his gaze, briefly. "<Fun?>" She seems ... so young, and innocent. He eases, a touch. "<No, I am not feeling very well,>" responds he in his mature, clear tone of voice, frown within his eyes now.

To this, with the help of a Poliwag and Pichu translation, the young Pichu trainer's eyes narrow slightly to a normal width, her head tilts, and a frown creeps onto the petite face of the young girl. Hands holding the Poliwag are gently lowered as the little water type gazes upwards to keep a glimpse of her 'trainer'. Her eyes widen slightly as her face tries to look serious, and then her voice is once again heard. This time, rather than the cheerful giggly voice, it sounds more like a concerned tone which a child would see an adult as possessing - May is attempting to act maturely, "You're not well? You should go to a Pokemon center, then. I bet your trainer would be very worried about you!"

<OOC> May thinks Hitmonlee should be very very glad that she didn't use the second idea of a pose her player had in his head! o_o; Nurse May.
<OOC> Hitmonlee dies. x_o;
<OOC> Kendra says, "You would have frightened him off if you did May. >.>"
<OOC> May agrees! Nurse May is just like a Shadevee Makeover Kit! o_O; And is on the same -fear- level as Aileen and Mordred and other evil things. c.c

"<No,>" responds the 'lee, scowl glinting from within his oculars, "<thank you. I cannot stand those places.>" A brief pause, before a smile seems to form once more - though it's hard to tell when the creature has no visible mouth. "<Though, I have not a trainer to worry for me, dear one. I am alone. None have earned my fancy.>" How true. Most have simply disgusted - or frightened him.

"<He doesn't like Pokemon Centers, May...>" the little Pichu whispers into the young Gemini twin's ear closest to where she is on the girls right shoulder. The rest of what was said was more accurately translated by a certain Poliwag. Helpful little one, is young Marina. May smiles faintly, although it faulters at the thought of loneliness. Granted, it terrify's Amy, but May has never lived alone. There has always been Sparkle, or Sunday or Amy around for her...it's hard to imagine life without a friend with her. "<It must be bad to be alone...>" she exclaims softly, mainly pondering to herself. Poor girl. The young trainer's inquisitive nature kicks in, as does her smile, with another question, "<How come? Are they boring?>"

A soft-natured warmth seems to wash over the Hitmonlee, as he regards May and her companions; shoulders are shrugged lightly. "<Most of all, it can be a bit frightening. There are many who seek to capture me, and ... I am,>" a brief pause, as the Hitmonlee spills his darkest secret to a little girl he just met, "<... afraid of heights. That includes,>" another hesitant moment, "<jumping. I always stumble. It's a very odd thing. I ... I once had a trainer. She released me, for my weakness.>" Poor guy.

Poor poor guy. The young trainer, or pseudo-trainer, as she has never actually thrown a Pokeball out at anyone just yet, regards the Pokemon whom would be likely to be just as tall as she with a somewhat quietened look on her face. "<That's not a very helpful fear. Oh well! It's a good thing you're too big to sit on May's head, then!>" giggles the little Pichu, whom is still as cheerful as can be, and stating the obvious again. "Jumping?" May squeaks, the belief is coming in, it's quite a surprising fear to have, to be honest. "But, that's not very nice of your trainer..." May adds, holding her arms with the Poliwag up again and commenting further, green eyes shining at the Hitmonlee, "She could have at least tried to help you face your fear!"

A long, quiet moment, as the Hitmonlee simply looks towards May, his gaze holding a deep sadness, of a past that has re-surfaced once more. A painful past. "<No. I was simply inadequate. ... Face my fear?>" An echo, somewhat disbelieving, as the 'lee watches her closely. "<What do you mean by this?>"

For a moment, the young one faulters, not entirely sure what she means by 'facing ones fear'. It's likely that she heard it from a grown up, and it sounded like a smart thing to say. Anyhow, May notes the sadness upon the Hitmonlee's face as it breaks through her immense cheerfulness. This brings her to lean towards the fighting type Pokemon and offer him a hug. Hey! Hugs make May feel happy when she's sad! "Well...I think it's where you keep telling what you're scared of that you're not afraid, and then you stop being scared!" this, however, brings slight happiness into the girl's big green eyes, it's a sign of hope for the larger Pokemon!

<OOC> Hitmonlee says, "Aww.."

CHAT >> Ri says, "This is the first puppet I've ever seen anyone hug, as a catching technique. n_-;"

CHAT >> Ri cackle.
CHAT >> The Purple Eevee? Lilia shudders. -.-; "I seriously believe Atra is the only pokemon Lilia might ever fear for good reason. ;)"
CHAT >> The Purple Eevee? Lilia fears many pokemon for very odd reasons. But fearing Atra is a sign of sanity. ;)

Hitmonlee -- As May leans forth, and offers the Hitmonlee a hug, he tenses for a moment; eyes widen considerably, before a happiness seems to wash over him in torrents, as if transferred by May herself. Slowly, he leans forth, and lifts his thin arms, to hug the girl back, grateful for her kindness. Incredible kindness he has ... not seen ever. "<I .. I see. Do you suppose..>" a moment, as the Hitmonlee considers, "<you could help me with this?>"

CHAT >> Snowchu May wouldn't DARE hug Atra!
CHAT >> Ri laughs.. "You hug her, ICly, you die." o_-;
CHAT >> Evil ResearcherGrrl says, "thinks that, if May DID hug Atra, Atra would melt into a puddle of evil gloop.. Because the power of Cuteness is far greater than the power of darkness. *sagenod*"
CHAT >> Snowchu May says, "Keith would, but that's because one of his attacks depends on it. o_o;;"

Cally has arrived.

<OOC> Cally wanders in 'n waves. n.n; Yay. I was right for once. o.o I thought the Hitmonlee would be here. (How, I have -no- idea.)

A great beaming smile forms upon the young trainer wannabe's face, having recieved a hug in return from the Hitmonlee. Awww, isn't that sweet? The little Poliwag in May's arms and the little Pichu also try to join in. Giving support to someone who needs it is such a great feat, and it's quite a surprise for a Rocket born child, too. She pauses a second to ponder the proposition from the Hitmonlee and her thoughts become somewhat more audiable. "Well, you don't seem very mean and nasty, so Amy wouldn't be scared...and you are very nice..." her thoughts continue, "Though I'm not much of a trainer, I've not had my licence all that long...but my papa says that I should learn to accept responsibility, and helping you -is- a responsibility! So...okay!"

<OOC> Cally laughs. n.n May is -so- cute.
<OOC> May giggles. ^.^ The only trainer to this date to befriend a wild Pokemon by hugging it. o.-;

Happy, and amused; quite the difference from the gloomy, weary, and somewhat fearful Hitmonlee that was to be seen earlier. "<I promise, I will not be mean and nasty, unless.. You try to eat me.>" A sense of humor begins to form, as well. He releases the young trainer happily, and offers her a warm smile, from his gaze. "<Thank you very much.. I suppose, this means, I will be your guardian, from now on. You help me, and I will do the same for you.. Gladly.>" A thoughtful pause. "<What is your name?>"

Cally goes home.
Cally has left.

<OOC> May gahs!

The joke is recieved quite well, with a cheerful giggle from young May, "I won't eat you! You're not a toffee apple or a creame egg!" Thank goodness May didn't meet up with a Togepi! Else she might have done! o_< The beaming smile remains on the young trainer's face as she has herself a guardian to protect her from all things mean and horrid, "Thank you mister...uhm..." Then the pauses to say her name, "...well, my name is May Gemini, what's yours?"
Hitmonlee -- "<May,>" states the Hitmonlee, features warm, "<it is a pleasure.>" Another brief pause, as hand lifts to rub at his head. "<Well, at one point in my life, I was known as Shinta. I have no particular affinity for the name, though, you could call me as such, if you so desire.>"

With a thunderclap and a flash of lightning Atra suddenly appears next to May!
Atra has arrived.

<OOC> May should call him...Applejack! >D
<OOC> Atra beep. n_n; Name/action?
<OOC> Atra thud!
<OOC> May hmms. And ponders a colour based name. o_o; A pretty one! "Mithril sounds a bit silly, don't you think?"
<OOC> Atra says, "Mythril."
<OOC> Atra says, "It is a bit."
<OOC> Atra says, "Hm.. Cerise? ^_^; Er.. *thinkthink*"
<OOC> May is gonna call an Oddish 'Sunshine'! >D "Cerise sounds kinda cool!" ^_^
<OOC> Atra says, "Cerise is a Cherry-red color."
<OOC> May says, "It still sounds cool. n_- Agentius! o_O;"
<OOC> Atra says, "I'll just chown, n' let you choose. o_-; Command..?"
<OOC> May says, "+ag ^_^;"
<OOC> May has decided to call him Argent, short for Argentium. ^_^ As he is her knight in shining armour. n_-;;
<OOC> Atra says, "Aww.. ^^;"
Atra says, "Test?"
Argent> <OOC> Argent tests! ^_^
<OOC> Argent tests! ^_^
<OOC> Atra says, "Whoo! Enjoy! ^^;"
