[sulteron]The Meeting[connor]

[Birdybot]

An shiny Espeon Pokémorph was sitting under a tree, leaning against the unusually wide trunk and smiling as the sun hit her face. This was Sulteron, and as a Pokémorph of the sun Pokémorph, she was very happy to be finding herself with the sunshining down on her. Her brown her shone gold in the light, and the red jewel on her forehead was shining very softly with her happiness. She had all thirteen of her Pokémon out, not including the wild Suicune, a fourteenth. These were Fairo the shiny Charmeleon, Mila the Lucario, Mizoro the Tailow, Asi the shiny Drigoon, Suicune the wild shiny Suicune, Hinida the shiny Flikhund, Kah the Morteon, Argent the Aron, Supix the Luxio, Kai the shiny Espeon and Tsuki the shiny Umbreon as well as their three cubs, Furnax the shiny Flareon, Liqunda the shiny Vaporeon and Rutilus the shin Draceon. Quite a lot. They were all relaxing and playing, and generally having a good time.

A boy was heading her way. He wore a hat on top of his snowy white hair, his shocking ruby red eyes glittering in the light. A most unusual boy just by the albinoism, to add to this he was also a Ho-oh Pokémorph and from a parallel universe. Proof of his Ho-oh 'morphness was not to be found- the feathery tail was all that could be seen, and with its white albino feathers could be from any bird. The proof he was from another world was in his daemon- his soul. Vivime was his soul in Pokémon form, able to change shape at will. If he felt pain, she felt pain. It was the most horrible thing of all to touch another's daemon, but scientists had touched Vivime; just one thing contributing to the emotional pain the boy had experienced. He had all his Pokémon out, too; seven of his, and one wild Pokémon. Hinote the shiny Growlithe, Nox the Staybleye, Ika the Kimiko, Mizuki the shiny Buizel, Mala the Mawile, Matris the Cubone, Sonitus the Whismur and Ho-oh the wild albino Ho-oh.

Connor and his group were walking, Vivime swooping as a Pidgeotto, white feathers warming in the sunlight. As he walked, he spied a girl surrounded by loads of Pokémon sitting under a tree. She was smiling, her lilac eyes bright with happiness. Her face was so pretty to the boy. Her hair flowed just right, her eyes held such gorgeous beauty. Her ears weren't a flaw, they added interest to her. The way the stripes of fur extended gracefully down her face was wonderful, too. He stopped, mouth slightly open. Oh... wow. His heart thudded faster, and he grew nervous. Oh wow oh wow. This girl was just... incredible. It was like he'd been looking for her. His Pokémon looked at him in confusion, Nox giggling and Sonitus and Ika thinking his look of love was cute. Connor moved over to the girl. His social skills were miserablly poor, but he'd try. "Hi. My name is Connor."

Sulteron looked up as someone said hello, and her heart skipped a beat. She was looking into the face of a boy, this Connor. His hat looked very good on him, his white hair complimenting his ghostly pale skin, falling in a boyish scruffy way. His features were all looking perfect to her, his ruby eyes deep and meaningful. She felt her insides tighten. Could she talk to him? She hoped so. "Hi..." she said, seeming to run out of breath. "My name's Sulteron. Nice to meet you." she said, holding out her hand for him to shake.

Perhaps he was too enthusiastic with his handshake, but Connor felt a little embarrassed afterwards. Sulteron didn't seem to have minded too much, though. "So... you're a trainer too, huh?" he said, not sure what to say.

Thankfully, Sulteron was the kind of girl who supplied a lot of conversation. "Yep, made my way up to Brown City, even met Suicune here along the way. I see you've managed to get a legendary, too. Ooh, and a Pidgeotto. An albino one, how rare!" she grinned.

Connor gave a nervous chuckle. "Yeah, I met Ho-oh on Route One. And Vivime isn't a Pidgeotto, she's... my daemon. My soul. In the universe I come from, everyone has one." he told her.

The girl laughed. So he had a sense of humour, did he? "Riiiiight." she said, not believing him.

"No, really! You feel pain, they feel pain. No-one can touch them aside from their humans, and they can change shape until their humans are mature, although Vivime doesn't seem to be able to settle 'cos I'm a freak." he said, a little ashamed of himself. To prove he was telling the truth, Vivime promptly transformed into an Absol, then a Rattata and finally a Dratini, curling around Connor's neck.

Sulteron's eyes opened wide in surprise. Woah, that was weird. So, this guy was an albino Pokémorph with a daemon from another world. Impressive. She was starting to like him even more. "I don't think you're a freak." she murmured softly, hand finding Connor's. The boy blushed.

~Connor and Sulteron, sitting in a tree!~[/color] chanted the childish Hinote, the shiny Growlithe grinning. Sonitus the Whismur batted him. ~Shut up, I think they look really cute together.~[/color] she scolded. Sulteron and Connor blushed, then sat side by side, watching their Pokémon.[/size]

[Kairi]

Meanwhile, another trainer was making her way towards the park. She was at the gate talking with the guard,"Really? You mean I can have every single Pokemon I ever caught, with me in the park?" She asked, grinning from ear to ear. "Yes, that is what makes our park so special," the guard said to her. Kairi went over to the PC, and withdrewn Kyubi, Pachirisu, Splishpole, Pichu, Flame, Nana, Woopie and even the little sick, Azurill.

Kairi knew that Azurill was still ill, but she figured maybe some fresh air would do it some good, and help it feel a little bit better. Also she'd be here if anything should happen to Azurill. Plus, there were tons of berries around should Azurill need one, "Alright come out everybody!" She called out.

All of Kairi's Pokemon came happily out of there Poke Balls. All expect Azurill who still looked very ill,"How are you feeling, Azurill?" Kairi asked him. "Azur," Azurill sighed and coughed, showing it was still very ill. But she could tell it did look a little better,"I figured the fresh air of this nice park might would help a little. Plus, look at all those berry trees," she told him. Azurill took a breath of fresh air and grinned a little,"Azur!" He jumped weakly into Kairi's arms.

Kairi and her Pokemon walked down the pathway, checking out all the beautiful flowers, with Azurill in Kairi's arms. Then she heard a voice say,"Hi. My name is Connor." Then she heard Sulteron's voice,"Hi..." she said, seeming to run out of breath. "My name's Sulteron. Nice to meet you."

Kairi started walking towards the voices, holding Azurill in her arms. She heard the boy, who was called Connor say,"So... you're a trainer too, huh?" Sulteron had answered with,"Yep, made my way up to Brown City, even met Suicune here along the way. I see you've managed to get a legendary, too. Ooh, and a Pidgeotto. An albino one, how rare!"

"Yeah, I met Ho-oh on Route One. And Vivime isn't a Pidgeotto, she's... my daemon. My soul. In the universe I come from, everyone has one." Connor had said. Kairi almost fell over when she heard that. 'A daemon?! What the heck's a daemon!?' She wondered, this shocked look on her face. She heard Sulteron say,"Riiiiight." It sounded like she was as shocked as Kairi was.

"No, really! You feel pain, they feel pain. No-one can touch them aside from their humans, and they can change shape until their humans are mature, although Vivime doesn't seem to be able to settle 'cos I'm a freak." Connor had told Sulteron. By now Kairi was laughing. There was no way, anyone would believe that.

Then Kairi heard Sulteron say,"I don't think you're a freak." Kairi decided now was a good time to make herself known. She walked out from behind a bush, and up to Sulteron and Connor, still trying to hold in her giggles. Then she noticed. The Pidgeotto she had heard was nowhere in sight,'That's weird,' she thought, looking very confused. She just stared at the Absol in front of her strangely.

[Birdybot]

Sulteron were relaxed against the tree, holding hands as they silently watched their Pokémon. They were completely unaware of the girl watching them, and as she made herself seen they sat up straight abrubtly, letting go of each others hands instantly. Both their faces held the same look of embarrassment and shock. Sulteron relaxed a little as she recognised her old friend. "Kairi! Hi there!" she grinned. "Look; Kai and Tsuki's eggs hatched!" she smiled. Liqunda, Furnax and Rutilus rushed over to greet Blade, their sibling.

Connor looked at her in mild confusion. "You know each other?" he asked. Sulteron nodded. "Yeah. We met in Sage Town, when I was racing on Suicune. We met again, and I traded her an egg Kai and Tsuki had rejected for Argent." she explained, the shy little Aron blushing as he was mentioned, nodding in respect to his old trainer.

Connor smiled, but his attention was elsewhere; Vivime had her eyes narrowed at the strange look she was getting from this 'Kairi' person. Who was she to just barge in like that? The albino daemon growled protectively, and Connor sighed. "Vivi, she's a friend, apparently." he reasurred her. She blinked her ruby eyes. ~Just... don't do anything bad to us, OK? We've had enough of all that.~ she told the girl- in perfect English. English? Pokémon didn't speak English! She grumbled, turning back to Connor. She transformed into a Sandslash, still retaining her albinoism as she sat on his lap. Oh, so maybe he was telling the truth about his daemon after all.

"Sorry, she's a little touchy 'cos the bad men took her away for a while. Oh, and you're probably wondering why Vivime spoke human and turned into a Sandslash, aren't you? Well, like she's sorta my daemon. Kinda... from another world... and stuff." he said nervously, poor social skills showing through clearly. Sulteron came to the rescue, sensing that Kairi had been listening for longer than that. "It seems that what it was saying was true." she smiled. She then turned to Connor. "Which reminds me. You never did tell me what Pokémon you're a Pokémorph of." she said curiously.

Connor glowed red, and the Ho-oh who was travelling with him nudged him with his beak. "One of those..." he nodded pointedly in Ho-oh's direction, trailing off. Sulteron's eyes widened. "Woah. Impressive. I didn't know that was possible!" she exclaimed. Connor nodded. "I nearly died, and I was in a coma for over a year." he said matter-of-factly.

[Kairi]

"Kairi! Hi there!" Sulteron grinned. "Look; Kai and Tsuki's eggs hatched!" she smiled. Liqunda, Furnax and Rutilus rushed over to greet Blade, their sibling. It was a wonder how they just knew that Blade was there brother. The Shiny Leafeon looked a bit confused at this. Shiva walked up to Tsuki,<Hey, there Tsuki. How ya been? I'd like you to meet my children, Splash and Smokie,> she said introducing the shiny Vaporeon and Flareon sisters.

Blade walked over to his parents,<Hi, there you must be my mom and dad, hi. I'd like you to meet my girlfriend,> Blade said pointing to Shiva. She wrapped Blade up the side of his head,<I'm not your girlfriend, you pervert!> Shiva screamed. Blade rubbed his cheek where Shiva had slapped him,<Fatit one isn't she,> he grinned, embrassed.

Kairi kinda backed away when the Absol glared at her. Pikachu jumped in front of Kairi and glared back, ready to protect her. But Connor had stopped the fight before it had even started,"Vivi, she's a friend, apparently."

Kairi looked shocked when the Absol spoke to her,~Just... don't do anything bad to us, OK? We've had enough of all that.~ But Kairi almost fell over in shock when the Absol turned into a Sandslash. "Sorry, she's a little touchy 'cos the bad men took her away for a while. Oh, and you're probably wondering why Vivime spoke human and turned into a Sandslash, aren't you? Well, like she's sorta my daemon. Kinda... from another world... and stuff." Connor said appolyzised for it.

Kairi turned to Sulteron, still confused,"It seems that what it was saying was true." She told her, then turned to Connor, "Which reminds me. You never did tell me what Pokémon you're a Pokémorph of."

"One of those..." he nodded pointedly in Ho-oh's direction, trailing off. Sulteron's eyes widened. "Woah. Impressive. I didn't know that was possible!" she exclaimed. Connor nodded. "I nearly died, and I was in a coma for over a year." he said matter-of-factly. Kairi, as stupid as ever still didn't believe any of this. She said,"Wow! Your Absol can talk human talk, and it can transform. I didn't know an Absol could learn Transform." She was more impressed by the Absol then the fact Connor was an albino Ho-oh Pokemorph.

OOC: Lol, Kairi's as dense as Ash. Plus, Shiva and Blade's relationship kinda reminds me of how Sango and Miroku, from Inuyasha behave towards each other. Expect Blade's ONLY chassing after Shiva.

[Birdybot]

Vivime narrowed her eyes, spines raising. She was insulted by that remark. ~I'm not an Absol, you numbskull! Like he said, I'm his daemon! His soul! I'm him, and he's me! I have no true form, so how can I be an Absol! Urgh, I didn't get trapped so far away from Connor it psychically hurt for a year and two months for this.~ she said, working herself into a rage. Connor hushed her, stroking her gently.

"Sorry again. Like I said, tough times have made her a little touchy. I think. Has she insulted you? Don't take offense." he apologised again, calming down his daemon more. Sulteron felt a strong urge to touch her, but had learned from him that that would be the utmost rudeness, and would actually cause him to go into shock. "Kairi, by the way, whatever you do, don't touch her." she warned the girl, in case she hadn't heard that part of their conversation.

Kai thought it very strange how her newborn son liked Shiva so much. That was just weird; Shiva was even older than she was, since she had only hatched partway along Sulteron's journey! Still, when you found your true partner, nature would bring you together. Unfortunately, it seemed that unlike with Sulteron and Connor, it was a one-way relationship.

Connor had by now calmed Vivime down, the daemon still wary of Kairi but more relaxed now, transforming into an Eevee and swaying her tail from side to side. Sulteron felt the urge to touch her grow, maybe something to do with her liking for Connor. She ignored it, turning to Kairi. "So, how's your journey been going?" she asked.

[Kairi]

OOC: Ok, don't say I'm goddmodding here. I have a reason for what I'm about to do. But it's a surprise you'll find out about Kairi later on. Don't make me ruin the surprise, ok.

~I'm not an Absol, you numbskull! Like he said, I'm his daemon! His soul! I'm him, and he's me! I have no true form, so how can I be an Absol! Urgh, I didn't get trapped so far away from Connor it psychically hurt for a year and two months for this.~ Vivime said getting mad.

"Sorry again. Like I said, tough times have made her a little touchy. I think. Has she insulted you? Don't take offense." Connor had apologized again. "It's ok, little guy. I mean you no harm," Kairi said, as she patted her on the head,"Kairi, by the way, whatever you do, don't touch her." Connor had warned. It was too late.

Kairi was stoking Vivime on the head, weird thing was she wasn't feeling any pain by touching another's daemon. Who was this girl?! And why could she touch Vivime without feeling pain. The only ones able to touch daemons without feeling pain, where people from Connor's world, who had those abilitys like he has. But Kairi didn't look like a person from the world of daemons. She looked human from every angle.

"So, how's your journey been going?" Sulteron asked, changing the subject,"It's going great, Sulteron. Pikachu here is getting stronger. He wants to get strong, cause he wants to battle your Lucario, Mila one day," Kairi told her. Azurill had already jumped out of her arms and was eating berries off, of a bush.

[Birdybot]

ooc// Well, to be honest, you've got it completely wrong. Kairi wouldn't be feeling any pain, most people in Connor's world are humans, and you already said that Kairi's from this world. There isn't a power to not being hurt by touching another person's daemon; anyone can do that. The only thing is that it's against the law, and will make the person whose daemon has been touched ill, faint, go into a coma, die, and so on. So please change it, I don't really want to go anywhere like that. Seriously.

I can guess that your plan was probably to have something along the lines of Kairi having some ability, but touching a daemon isn't an ability, anyone can do that. So please, edit and don't get stressed out, I'm just doing this to protect my character.

[Kairi]

OOC: Editted Post

~I'm not an Absol, you numbskull! Like he said, I'm his daemon! His soul! I'm him, and he's me! I have no true form, so how can I be an Absol! Urgh, I didn't get trapped so far away from Connor it psychically hurt for a year and two months for this.~ Vivime said getting mad.

"Sorry again. Like I said, tough times have made her a little touchy. I think. Has she insulted you? Don't take offense." Connor had apologized again. "It's ok, little guy. I mean you no harm," Kairi said, as she reached out to pat her on the head,"Kairi, by the way, whatever you do, don't touch her." Connor had warned. "Why not?" Kairi asked taking her hand away.

"So, how's your journey been going?" Sulteron asked, changing the subject,"It's going great, Sulteron. Pikachu here is getting stronger. He wants to get strong, cause he wants to battle your Lucario, Mila one day," Kairi told her. Azurill had already jumped out of her arms and was eating berries off, of a bush.

[Birdybot]

Connor grinned a little, while Vivime scowled and became a Taillow on his shoulder. "Where I come from, touching another's dæmon is the rudest thing possible. It also causes the dæmon being touched pain, and through Vivime I'd feel the pain too. It's enough to make someone black out." he explained with a shrug, making the already sulking dæmon twitter in annoyance. Hinote the Growlithe snapped playfully at her, cheering Vivime up a little.

Sulteron nodded. "Mila's looking forward to fighting Pikachu, too. He's very keen on training and getting stronger. As for my journey, that's going great! I hope to have my first badge soon, and most of my Pokémon are around levels 17 to 20." she told her friend, pleased to be catching up with her again. Without really thinking about it too much, she moved a little closer to Connor, glancing his way and looking away shyly as his gaze met hers. She liked him, but was too embarrassed to admit it.

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Kairi]

Kairi just ingored Connor as she talked with Sulteron, thinking that Connor was too weird for her,"Mila's looking forward to fighting Pikachu, too. He's very keen on training and getting stronger. As for my journey, that's going great! I hope to have my first badge soon, and most of my Pokémon are around levels 17 to 20." Sulteron told her. "Yea, I've been training hard as well. I'll also be going for the first badge soon," Kairi grinned at her. Pikachu was talking with Mila asking him how his training had been going.

[Birdybot]

Connor noticed how Kairi seemed to be ignoring him. Eh, he was very used to that. Hinote, however, wasn't, and thought it was very rude indeed. After all, his trainer wasn't doing anything wrong, was he? The shiny Growlithe yipped in annoyance, and Sulteron smiled at the puppy, ruffling the fur behind his ears. Connor smiled at her as she did so, before looking away nervously when she smiled back. Hinote giggled. He blushed, just a tiny bit of colour entering his otherwise white cheeks.

Sulteron nodded at Kairi. She knew that her friend wasn't too serious about battling and levelling up her Pokémon, so wondered how she'd manage in a gym battle. She'd find out sooner or later, she supposed. "Cool. I took a trip to the training area to level up my Pokémon before that, and I think I won't need to go again until I'm ready to face the third gym. How about you, Connor?" she asked the boy, smiling as she spoke his name.

Connor picked at the grass nervously as he was spoken to, managing a smile back. "I think my team might just manage to beat the first gym, but I still have a little journey to go before I reach there." he told her, "They- my Pokémon, I mean- are all between level 14 and 16, I think." he added.

Mila nodded to Pikachu. ~Good, thanks. I've had a battle here and there, but of course Sulteron likes to battle using all her Pokémon, not just one. You?~

[/color] he replied, not sure whether Kairi used her other Pokémon too much- it was very obvious that she favoured Pikachu above her other Pokémon.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

[Kairi]

OOC: Kairi is serous about training. Also you didn't have Mila answer Pikachu.

[Birdybot]

ooc// Does it really matter? I get so tired of you finding fault with every one of my posts, perhaps you should just lump it and reply anyway, hm? That's what I try to do unless there's something so wrong it goes against the rules/is impossible/is very stupid.

[Kairi]

OOC: Ok, but you didn't even akownage that Pikachu had even spoken to Mila.

[Birdybot]

ooc// By akownage, you mean aknowledge, right? Anyway, I've added that bit on. Rping with you can sometimes be all right, but often it is actually pretty tiring 'cos you get offended easily and sometimes don't want things to go differently to how you planned them to...
