Running Amok

First topic message reminder :

Sierra

By the time the young Shinx cub had seen the town, she swore it was just a mirage... but then again, mirages don't really happen in temperate climates, do they? With a deep sigh, her weary pawpads slowed to a stop as she gazed down upon the town.

Well, finally here... curse that old bird, why did I even listen to him? Her thoughts clouded her mind as she almost seemed to scowl at the town. The Skarmory had informed her to, and she quoted "Pick yourself up and act like a decent 'mon", by pushing her towards socializing. But, this wasn't one of those towns where you'd go and actively cause trouble.

No... she could clearly see there was a police station from her vantage point, which made her stick out her tongue in disgust. Authorities had nothing better to do then to harass her, in her mind, and were better left out of the equation. Still, it meant that there wasn't going to be any funny business... at least, not the severe kind of funny business.

With each solid, yet weary step, the Shinx had moved her way into the town, weaving expertly through the population in the streets. In all honesty... it was a relief nobody seemed to have recognized her... the 'Shinx of the Jungle' had built a small reputation for the few, tiny jungle towns far off, but news of the street urchin hadn't really spread to the major towns. It was a sigh of relief to be sure.

Eventually, the pokémon stopped at a small watering fountain, and stared into its depths. At that moment of time, she wasn't so far beyond drinking the water at the risk of her humility, but the last time she drank from a fountain, well... 'disrespecting an ancient feature' wasn't a crime in her book until recent. She grumbled and simply sat.

It was a bit depressing, really. A quick check on her person led to... nothing, essentially. Not even a single Poké to spare. Further more, she was hungry, thirsty, and spend the last three hours walking. All in all, it was kinda a bad day.

The Shinx grinned to herself... no day was gunna be a bad day... she was gunna find an adventure, and make friends!

......................She watched as the pokémon around her walked by. Eventually.

Fang lookks at Rally and rushes iver. "You ok?" She asks as she senses somethint comint from her she seemed to be very pissed off right now fang nodded and stood next to her holding uo another barrage of rock's with a old power ready to let then fly at the Pokemon in frint of them.

She decided to send a concentrated barrage at the houndour it moved faster.then last time thanks to the speed boost and the attack boost she gained each tike she used this move on something

Sierra

Coming from the back-lean into her combat position, the timing between Sierra and the fire orb was much to short to effectively block against. Rather then force herself to become unbalanced, she ducked low, angling her body to head-on the attack... and it hit hard.

*PMMMFFSH!*

Flames licked around her body as she felt the temperature raise critically as a result. The searing pain caused her to wince as the fires dissipated, causing her to shake herself off. Burns?... no burns, good. Wow, that Swirlex hits like a Miltank Sierra thought, recovering from the impact. What this needed was some good ol' tactics.

If Fang would notice, she wasn't just well-behaved in an authoritative action, she was also rather intelligent about her combat. In the midst of her combat, she shouted out. "HEY DUMBOS!" She paused for just a sec, waiting to see how many of the three opponents turned their heads to face her, before she let loose a deep, unsettling Leer. The line of sight between any who saw here would be confronted with a piercing gaze, one that deep into the will of a being. That, was the power of Leer, and with luck, she could even hit all three.

Rally

"What did you call us?" snarled the Houdour before the three became unnerved by the strong glare Sierra let loose. Well timed too, as three rocks quickly followed, striking the Houdour; he crumpled over on his side, his eyes like swirls.

"Haaaaaa!" Riolu charged at super speed at the Swirlix, her fist glowing a crimson hue. As she slammed the fist into Swirlix side, Rally's eyes continued to burn with Courage, but now were also showing signs of anger and regret. Thanks to Sierra's unnerving Leer, the fist struck hard, though was not enough to end it in a single blow. Instead, the Swirlix countered by tackling Rally, knocking her back a small ways.

"You darn pests!" The Makuhita punched the ground, surrounding himself in a cloud of sand, dirt and dust. The cloud quickly dissipated, but Makuhita was gone! Instead, he somehow had gotten behind Fang and launched a surprise attack!

Fang swore under her breath as she noticed the Pokemon vanish into seemingly air, she almost instantly sensed something behind her as she raises her arm and blocks part of the blow and drags another barrage of rock's this timw almost next to the fighting type going even faster then the ones she had thrown at the houndour. This was a sort of partning blow for fang as she stumles backwards on her feet with jo obvious wound on her bosy

Sierra

Booyah, one down. Sierra grinned as each rock smacked upon the houndour's face, crumpling it into submission. From there, it left...

Oh. The Riolu seemed to have his situation under control, but that Faint Attack seemed like it did a number to the Charmander. Sparking another charge of Thunder Fang, Sierra hoped to gain combat advantage against the Makuhita, aiming for a particular spot... the knee. If she hit, this time she would lock down, clinching down upon the limb to essentially immobilize it. If she failed, it would result in causing her to tumble prone, but it was a risk she had to take.

Rally

...A good call on Sierra's part. The Makuhita had thrust his arms forward, pushing each of the stones away; it seemed as if that trick was no longer going to work. However, before the Makuhita could charge again, Sierra's teeth clamped into his leg, and a paralytic shock was sent through his body. Paralyzed, he tried to knock Sierra loose with a flaming fist, but couldn't move after ignition. "You little twerp! Get off of me!"

Rally, meanwhile, was on a rampage. She'd returned to her feet and with two crimson fists was pummeling the Swirlix, not giving it an opening. It took little time to stop the fairy with her steel fists, it too falling unconscious.

Fang swore under her breath as the ancient power was reduced ro rubble but she did feel the power boost it normally gave her.as.well as a new.move coming on as she felt a flame rise out of her stomach as she launched a large fire ball right at the fighting types head, thanks to the speed ajd power boost she had gotten the flame looked more like a fireball then a simple ember as she aimed it right at his head ro avoid the shinx.

Rally

A swirling sphere of warm colors erupted from Fang's mouth, much larger than expected. Never the less, her skill and talent shined in her boosted ember. As it flew through the air, the area was bathed in stunning reds, yellows, and oranges before slamming into the Makuhita's forehead. The combined effort of the two had been more than enough to take him down. "You...brats..." the Makuhita uttered as he went down, slipping into unconsciousness.

"Hoe~!" Rally let out another cry. "What have I done? I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Rally was rapidly bowing to the three unconscious pokémon, the courageous flame from before seemingly having departed.

Fang stares at the downed Pokemon as a idea comes to her head as her claww slightly twitch, she felt thw overwhelming urge ro kjll thos Pokemon, this wouldn't stop him he would just get up and attack more Pokemon fang took a step forawrd but then her normal senses came back as she let out a small breath and walked over to Rally. "Do not apologize they deserve worse then this" fang tella her as she looks at them

Sierra

Sierra let go just as the rotund fighting pokémon collapsed, shifting a bit away to survey the scene... hehehe, not bad of a show. The Shinx chuckled, seeing the swirls in all of their eyes... pieces of work, they were... still, it was nice to see a few ruffians marred.

She did notice Fang's approach and claw twitch, and already moved to a defensive position... yet, when she seemed to let it go, Sierra sighed in relief. The goons had already received their lesson, that much is for sure. Further harm would be nothing but bad news to the one who struck.

Sierra spun around, kicking a bit of dirt towards the group as they spoke. "And maybe next time, you'll know about "The Shinx of the Jungle". Don't you forget it." With an upturned snout, she approached the two, catching her breath.

She kept a good appearance, but her singed fur was tell-tale signs of some moderate damage. The blow she took head on seemed to have criticaled, and it was starting to cause more soreness now that her adrenaline rush had ended.

She simply giggled as the Riolu apologized, but the twist of irony caused her to get some sense again. "Now, don't worry about it... the foolish get their hides kicked and learn about it the next time around. Same went for me. Same goes to them." She gave a brief chuckle. It was about time she took her leave.

"Now, if either of you don't need me... I'm off to lick my wounds. Perhaps I'll report the incident to the authorities for some quick Poké, so I can get by for the night." She didn't like the option, but it was far better then being broke. See, ruffians did have benefits in some cases. She looked to both of them, fully expecting them to acknowledge her request... yet she had a feeling they weren't quite done talking with her yet.

Rally

"But this all started because I was clumsy and didn't have enough poké..." Rally saw the Shinx about to leave and began to blush. "Please wait. Um...I..." Rally remembered Fangs words and looked them both in the eye.
"Thank you both for coming to my aid. I do not know what I would have done had you not rescued me. Please, allow me to repay your kindness in some way..." Rally rummaged around her bag to see what she had to offer. A quick survey answered the question as...not much. Rally frowned. "I don't really have that much poké, but I can at least treat you to a night at the inn. I already have a room, and it has more than one bed." Rally turned to face Sierra. "And I can at least help you tend to that wound. It is my fault that you were hurt in the first place. Oh! I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Rally." She bowed with humility and grace to her noble savior.

Fang watched as she turned to the downed opponent and give her title to him she felt this tomboy to be in need of a serious beatdown one fang was more then happy to do but now her focus was on her old ally. "We chose to intervene a reward would just be praise for a reckless acrion" fang said as she turned her head.to the hotel idea," if you are offering it would rude.to decline" fang said as she waitss for the shinx to respond.

Sierra

Ah, of course. Reward. Honestly, she never really wanted anything in return, as the fight was rewarding enough. Still...

To begin, she shrugged, which was still a little painful to do. "Nah, don't worry about it. You don't know pain till a Miltank bowls you over with a Rollout." She grins at that. "And that is a legitimate reason to stay in bed sick." There was a brief chuckle.

"However... I would highly appreciate the offer for room, Rally." She nodded, giving a bit of a look back to Fang. She knew exactly what the Charmander was thinking, and so she responded as such. "I may be wild, Fang, but I am not rude. One learns to take the offers of those who are willing to give them, especially when it comes from the heart."

Her attention returned to Rally, and she nodded. "Well... perhaps I shall report the incident to the authorities none the less, and then split whatever poké we may or may not make evenly. I suppose fair is fair, especially with how you defended yourself, Rally." She gave a smirk to Fang, an ear flicking. "And I suppose you did well yourself." It was that cocky attitude that justified the Charmander's irritation, but it was honest cockiness, at least. Young, brash, and full of life... the young Shinx, even in her loneliness, had many of the essentials of life. But, of course, she was missing several as well, oblivious due to her demeanor. And that essential, was friendship.

Rally

Rally nodded in response, happy that the two of them would be joining her at the inn; she owed them at least that much. "Okay then. We'll meet you at the inn. It is over by the big tree in the middle of town." Rally was happy that she would be able to properly thank her saviors, as she had been taught growing up by her aunt. Ready to head back, Rally turned to head toward the inn before stopping, quickly turning about. "Oh! I forgot to ask you your name," she called out to the Shinx, who had begun to walk in the direction of the police station.

Fang didn't even react to what the shinx had said she wasn't thinking ahe would decline quite the cotrary ahe was waiting for her to talk so she didn't talk over her but it seems the kindness fang had tried to show was easily replaced with sarcasm. This is why fang decides to remain quiet no one seened to understand her.

Fang didn't respond when the shinx had commented about her fighting fang was the one who did the moat damage to two of them and even if the shinx had not stopped the fighting ttpe she was sure it wouod of been ok as she just gives her normal cold stare then turns around without saying anything k.knowing the place she decided to walk around a bit beofes going and she felt no reasin to tell the others this
