Misty Meeting

First topic message reminder :

Akuroma walked quietly around the hill, scanning the area for any potential places to make his new home. Despite already having a cabin built back in the Blackspear Mountain Range, Akuroma felt that he was too isolated from other Pokemon. There weren't many to steal from in the mountains, and he knew that some Pokemon already knew where he lived. Best to find a new home, he thought to himself as he continued to walk around the hill. He had to admit, the area was idle. Rainfront town was right next door, and without a guild, it was basically unprotected. Especially since the only way to reach it from Grassveil was Serene Cave. If needed, the Gallade could simply lay traps in the cave to deter pesky explorers from trying to cross it.

"No, it doesn't appear so." Serena told him. In all honesty, she was telling the absolute truth. Sure, he was a big power-house when it came to battling, but he didn't seem insane. The Servine, actually calmed down, smiled. The Gallade didn't seem all that bad. "Maybe we should start over....... I'm Serena." The grass type told him. It would be nice to get to know another Pokemon, even though the Servine had already met plenty.

"Name's Aku-" the Gallade stopped as he noticed the Servine's explorer badge, "Ahem, sorry, little sneeze. Name's Nate." The Gallade quickly recalled the name of a Pikachu he once met. Hopefully the Servine wouldn't be suspicious of the Gallade temporarily tripping over his words. He'd really have to think of an alias to go by whenever he meets Pokemon. Not that it would truly matter. With his more unique coloring from the rest of his species, it might be better to not lie and just see where the pieces fall when he reveals himself as an outlaw.

[30 energy]

Noticing the Gallade say his real name and then lie to her, the grass type just shrugged. "You know, you don't have to use a fake name. It's not like you're an outlaw or something. Nice to meet you, Aku." Serena said. She was oblivious to the fact he was a well known outlaw, unlike Ramira, who could probably tell in seconds. Serena extended her hand.

Akuroma blinked, someone who didn't know he was an outlaw? Either he overestimated how quickly information spread, or this Servine just hadn't noticed yet. "Er, well, I wouldn't say my name's the best to have," the Gallade said, shaking the Servine's...leaf? Hand? Whatever that little stub of a limb was that the species had. It was then that the Gallade noticed the items that had fallen to the ground of the tree he punched. "Oh la la, looks like I get a prize for beating those Pokemon."

Serena nodded. She guessed Aku just didn't like his name much. The Servine watched Aku pick up the items that had fallen from the tree, and she decided they should probably get moving if anyone was going anywhere. "We should probably get moving." Serena said after he'd picked up all the items.

Akuroma looked over at the Servine, "Yep, hopefully we'll find some better fighters deeper in the dungeon," the Gallade said. Akuroma hoped more than anything to find a good place to make a home here, but best to not appear as if he plans on staying on the off chance they happen upon an explorer who knows who he is. At least in that case he could quickly disappear into the mist.

Serena agreed. It would be helpful if they found more useful fighters deeper in the dungeon, because both of them would get stronger. The Servine nearly tripped over two Pretty Boxes before starting off again, though. Staring at the ground briefly, the Servine veered around all the items, letting Aku take them.

Akuroma blinked as the Servine let him take the items. He shrugged, the more for him. Scooping up the items, Akuroma placed them in his bag, only to have the ground underneath him suddenly give way, a Seviper's fanged face coming out as it bit the Gallade's arm, its venom sinking into the Gallade. Akuroma yelped as he jumped back, trying to shake the large snake off. His attention fully on the enemy before him right now, the Gallade failed to notice the Fletchling that was flying straight towards the Servine.

[17 energy]

As the Fletchling flew towards Serena, the Servine got an idea, and stepped sideways using Iron Tail. The bird smacked straight into her iron-covered tail, and nearly passed out. Using Vine Whip to finish it, the bird collapsed to the ground in a small heap. 'That was what I needed to do..... Have a nice nap, buddy...' She thought pitifully. Then the grass type went over to see how Aku was doing.

The Gallade growled as he slammed his electrified fist into the Seviper's head repeatedly. "Get off of me you stupid Seviper!" he yelled out, his arms glowing in green psychic energy before the Gallade swung them, a small explosion surrounding him and the seviper as the Psyshocks hit the snake at such a close range. As the cloud of dust and debris began to settle, Akuroma walked out of it, munching on a sitrus berry as the injury on his arm began to disappear.

[32 energy]

Serena watched Aku walk out of the smoke like from one of those action movies where someone walks away from the explosion. Sighing, smiling, and shaking her head, the Servine gestured that they should move along. It really didn't bother her that the Gallade had acted a bit awkward at the start, but it still seemed a little off.

The Gallade grumbled as they walked, every now and then shaking his injured arm. "Damn thing..." he said, trailing off, "poisoning me..." He continued to grumble and growl under his breath, obviously less than pleased at the situation he's found himself in. And here he was without bringing any Pecha berries. He was hoping to save them all for Venen Gulch, but it seems he was a bit hasty in not even bring one.

Sighing, Serena checked her bag for a Pecha berry. "I got nothing," She shrugged. The Servine didn't exactly have any berries on her, only because when she had gone to Pecha, it hadn't supplied her with any. Shaking her head, she looked at Aku. "Looks like we're going to have to find one if there are any around here..." Serena said.

Akuroma shook his head, "I'll be fine. A little poison can't stop me so easily." In all honesty, the poison was more of an annoying itch on his arm right now than anything else. He could probably afford prolonging healing it for awhile, then quickly teleport home to heal it. Seemed like a fairly good plan in his mind, at least. Doing his best to ignore the itching, Akuroma began to look through the items he'd collected. Surprisingly the dungeon had given him four pretty boxes, a few seeds, and several other more common items. If their luck continued like this, he wouldn't be surprised if they'd find even rare items, if anything rarer than the boxes exist in this dungeon.

"Alrighty, then" Serena said. Aku seemed like a tough guy, so she didn't bother protesting to heal him like a motherly person would. In all honesty, the Servine was more concerned about herself, because she was much weaker in level than he was, so she'd be a tiny bit more vulnerable. Sighing, she started walking again, not exactly expecting Aku to follow but was prepared if he did.
