World's Best Uncle

A lovely day it was! A lovely day indeed in these dark, ominous, depressing, eerie, and most of all dangerous woods! Linus's nerves were on end as he followed the small moving slimeball through the forest from high up in the trees. His eyes darted to and fro, searching for any potential attackers while the Goomy slithered along merrily as if there wasn't a thing to be scared of in the world. Linus forced himself to take a deep breath, Acro would surely not get TOO angry with him if something were to happen to the young dragon type, right? Yeah, he was rather forgiving, that cursed archeops. What about Sova though? Oh dear Arceus he'd be frozen alive!

He had to keep on edge, be prepared, or else risk not only causing the death of a small child but risking a certain glaceon chasing him to the ends of the earth over a child that was not even legally or biologically his. The honchkrow sighed, looking down at the goomy. He had decided to take it for a walk, it had seemed rather bored in the grassviel's guild. He couldn't take it to Ailreon so he hung around the Grassviel when with the child. He had not noticed that they had strayed all the way to Shadowhue until it was too late, just great..

Shinka slithered along merrily, looking around in awe at the awesome trees and pretty rays of light that occasionally broke through the trees. He wondered where Cluckloo was? Mammy and Spoof too? Ah well, they'll probably show up eventually! They always did. Shinka hummed a slight tune as he moved along, exploring this new and wonderful place. What kind of wonders was he going to find here? He did not know, the small child was rather ignorant of the world having been cooped up most of his life, but he sure as hell was going to try his hardest to find all of the amazing things there was to find in this world!

A young Ralts wandered through the forest, humming gently to herself as she stared up at the trees that blocked most of the light from reaching the forest floor. The leafy branches couldn't quite hide the sun from view though, as was evident from the rays of light peeking through and dappling the ground with their golden patterns. Turning her attention to the ground, Kirie hopped from patch of sunlight to patch of sunlight with a small smile gracing her features.

She stopped rather suddenly when the sounds of another individual's humming reached her ears. Blinking and immediately falling silent herself, Kirie glanced around, looking for the source of the sound. It was odd, since the forest had been pretty much eerily silent until now... with the exception of her own humming. Moving towards the source of the sounds, she was immediately curious as to whom else might be here, though found herself remaining somewhat cautious due to the many tales of outlaws residing in the dark forest.

There! Over there! A pokemon, what pokemon was that? It definitely was not natural to the forest, it did not fit in this environment. Linus examined the ralts with his sharp eye from afar, white body, green bowl like hair, and a red horn on the front and back. What was this pokemon? It was on the tip of his tongue, he had heard of a pokemon like this before from a tale, something about a knight and a princess?

Shinka stopped humming as soon as he heard the sound of his own humming, but started up immediately in attempt to match the other strange sound in the forest. Sadly the sound had silenced itself, a sad frown appeared, before being swiftly replaced with determination as he moved himself as quickly as he could towards the source. What if something had hurt the sound? He could help! Cluckoo, Mammy, and Spoop too!

Linus decided to intervene before the two met, swooping down from the branches and landing on a log that was between the two. He had swooped in rather close to the ralts, but was facing Shinka, "Stop!" he ordered the goomy, though Shinka had disregaurded his orders. He turned to the ralts, an eye seemingly glaring menacingly down upon her. It was actually just his natural look, he was just looking to the ralts to see its reaction. Would it attack? Should he grab the goomy and run?

Kirie had heard shuffling noises that had seemed to tell her that she was moving in the right direction to find what she sought, but before she could lay eyes on what would prove to be a pokemon not at all native to the forest, a swooping bird pokemon blocked her path. The loud cry of 'Stop!' had startled her a little, but it hadn't particularly shown outwardly in more than a brief flinch at the voice's loudness. She blinked in confusion as the bird turned, as if he hadn't been speaking to her to start with, but rather someone else.

When the Honchkrow turned to face Kirie, the Ralts blinked once again, though her eyes were hidden from the taller pokemon beneath the green fronds of her hair.
Immediately cautious due to the pokemon's appearance, she wondered if it was aptly native to the dark forest. Hesitantly, she reached out with her mind to see if her in-born senses could tell her anything more that might help her judge whether she should be afraid of the Honchkrow or not. She had almost been expecting some form of hostility, but instead what she sensed was a completely different emotion. It was weak, most likely due to the bird being half dark type, but was that... protectiveness?

Tilting her head upwards a little more so that the Honchkrow could see her eyes, she decided to take a calculated risk.
"Hello," she said with a small breath, her quiet voice somewhat louder following the former silence.

The goomy worked his way to the top of the log, hearing the voice of the humming from earlier. Once he reached the top of the log, Shinka looked down to the ralts. A big smile grew and bloomed on his face, "Hiya!" he voice squeaked eagerly, revealing his age of being quite young to any with common sense. The goomy moved to slither down off the log, however a large dark wing obstructed his path. He blinked, wondering where this strange feathery wall came from. He headbutted it, but it did not budge, he looked around, and found that it was Cluckoo!
"Cluckooo!" he chimed with glee.

Linus spread out a single wing to prevent the child from going near the potentially dangerous pokemon. He remembered now, this was a ralts. A psychic fairy type, dragons were weak to fairy, it could easily demolish the poor goomy in a fight...wait...LINUS was weak to fairy! Shiiiiiii... the honchkrow cut himself off in his thoughts. He figured now was not exactly a good time to just suddenly take off without warning and instead cleared his throat and spoke, "Uh...Hi..." he spoke uneasily, finding it difficult to hide his nervous tone.

Kirie's attention was immediately diverted from the Honchkrow to the Goomy as the childlike voice broke the silence that had fallen. The Ralts couldn't help but smile at Shinka's large grin though, as if it was contagious. She raised a white arm and waved gently to the young Goomy, but before she could say anything more, the dark bird's wing blocked the dragon type from moving forward.

The Ralts blinked again, switching her gaze back to the larger pokemon with curiosity. As he finally returned her previous greeting, Kirie finally managed to put two and two together. The strange feeling of protectiveness that she'd gotten from the Honchkrow, the odd command to stop from before, and the overtly childlike Goomy whom he'd hidden from view.

Kirie's expression widened from a smile into a grin as she let out a small giggle. Her laughter wasn't malicious in any way, if anything she admired the relationship the two pokemon before her seemed to have. It was kind of cute, now that the source of the Honchkrow's protectiveness had been brought to light.

Suddenly the Honchkrow wasn't all that scary at all.

The ralts giggled, causing Linus to merely stare at it. Why was it laughing? Was it hiding something? Confident about something? Or was it just laughing at the name Shinka had given him? The chicken turned to inspect Shinka, to find that the dragon type was gone. Fabulous. He turned around completely, thinking that the goomy had fallen off the log. When he found the goomy was no longer there, he looked back to the ralts to see the goomy sitting beside the ralts with the goofiest grin the honchkrow had ever seen. His beak dropped, paralyzed as he waited for the ralts to show any signs of aggression, tense and ready to fire a Dark Pulse if need be.

The goomy had squished itself against the log, condensing his body into a more puddle shape being and slipping underneath the Honchkrow's wings. He knew that Cluckoo did not know of his ability to do that, and had taken advantage of it. He allowed himself to drop off the log and return to his normal shape when he was next to the green-capped wonder that had been humming and greeted him.
"Hiya!" he said again, giving a large goofy grin and waiting for a response. He did not know what else to really say other than "hi" over and over again as he lacked the conversational skills to carry out a conversation. The goomy smiled, and waited, not feeling threatened in the slightest by the ralts.

The Ralts only found her opinion of the odd duo growing by the second. The childlike Goomy wandered over to say hi, and Kirie couldn't help but smile at him and his huge grin. Unsure of where exactly to begin so that she didn't provoke the guardian Honchkrow, the Ralts opted to just introduce herself.
"I'm Kirie," she smiled warmly, trying to put Linus at ease, "uhm, pleased to meet you both," she added, looking from Shinka to the Honchkrow.

ooc// Sorry for short post just needed to get the thread going again |D

"keee-ree?" the goomy spoke slowly, trying the words on his mouth and toying with them for a bit before giving the ralts a new nickname, "Key Ring!" he exclaimed happily. The goomy bounced up and down without actually leaving the ground, his body just seemed to be bouncing up and down. He could hear Cluckoo clear his throat, but paid the big chicken no mind. He had a new friend to play with it seemed! A friend that was around his size, Cluckoo was too big, Key Ring may have been a bit taller, but if he condensed himself a bit around the mid section he could make himself seem taller, so it was no problem!

"Er..." Linus spoke, finally gathering the courage to speak after the goomy gave the ralts a name and and it introduced itself. The honchkrow cleared his throat, determining that this ralts was not a threat, at least for now, and relaxed a bit. He lowered his wing as his feathers relaxed themselves, he seemed to shrink a bit in size as he did so due to the floof of his feathers.
"H-Hello, I am Linus, and this is Shinka," he gestured with his wing. He figured that he should at least introduce their names since the ralts had introduced herself.

Kirie laughed openly at Shinka's new nickname for her. It did sound a little similar to her name, she had to admit, but she'd never been given a nickname before. It was kind of cute.
The Ralts also found herself relaxing much more when the guardian Honchkrow appeared to accept that she wasn't going to do anything to harm his charge. Linus seemed to almost shrink now that his feathers weren't puffed out to make him look larger than he actually was.

As Linus introduced himself and Shinka, Kirie nodded, her acknowledgement before returning her attention to Shinka with another smile.
"So what brings you to this dark forest?" she asked out of curiosity. Unless the Honchkrow and his charge really did live here, she couldn't help but wonder why they'd come here when it was rumoured to be home to all sorts of nasty types due to it's more shadowed appearance.

((Psst, we have to ignore the last three rolls on your post because you already rolled three times before. Also I didn't see you post here, sorry D:))

The goomy listened to Key Ring as it asked a question. He left it to Cluckoo to answer, though to Shinka, why SHOULDN'T they be in the forest? It seemed like such an awesome place! It was so different from Cattail Marsh! There were not any Cupcakes here sadly, Cupcake being the nicknames all eevees receive to the goomy, but hey this place had such big trees that were ten times the size of Mammy and Spoop!

The ralts was not a threat, that was a relief. The Honckrow had finished deflating his feathers, and spoke, "Shinka here's going for a walk...or crawl I guess? Either way I thought it'd be best to take him for a walk," although to be fair he kind of just let the goomy go wherever it had wanted and he just followed to make sure it did not hurt itself. The honchkrow watched the ralts, "What about you?" he asked.
