Roleplay 8

{I am glad that you are happy }

Shadow gave a soft smile as he carefully took his son in his arms, almost afraid to break him, and ran a finger along the child's cheek softly.

"Hi little buddy, you feeling alright?" he asked him, though not expecting an answer and just kissed his forehead.

"Let me see your Pokemon," Rica said. "Erin and I will take all the Pokemon to be healed at the Center." she explained. "Then we can go right to the ship."

Xavier also reacted moving his arms and legs when he saw Shadow, making a giggling sound.
Alex gave her pokemon to Rica and saw they go to the pokemon center.

"It looks we won´t be able to rest much until we go back home." She said and streched her legs before they continue the ride to the port.

"Did something happen while I escaped from the labs? what about that explosion?" She now asked a little worried, wanting to know what happened.

(btw, if the experiment ever worked, what would it be? Mixing pokemon dna with Xavier?)

Shadow smiled and chuckled, he gently ran his fingers through Xavier's hair and then nuzzled his cheek.

"I guess your alright." he said happily. He then looked up towards Alex and gave a small shrug. "My uncle wanted to make sure they wouldn't be able to create any more experiments for a few years. We demolished the place, only the Admin's made it out. Helsing was detained inside and so where a lot of grunts and scientists."

It was cruel the way they had to die, but they where evil and needed to be stopped.

{I didn't even really think about it, but I guess the worst that would have happened was that he would have had some Pokemon's DNA in him and depdending on how strong the gene it would have given him some powers or allowed him to talk to the specific species.}

Alex frowned slightly. "I am not sure what to feel about something like this. It looks drastic, but somehow right at the same time. At least Xavier seems to be in perfect health." She added and they saw Xavier trying to tug Shadow´s blue hair.

(Ah, when you wrote the kiss between Shadow and Helsing, it made me fangirl XD It made me wonder if they... did something when younger... you know? But Shadow said he never thanked Helsing for saving his life, so obviously nothing happened. "pervert fangirls dream crushed" XD)

Shadow nodded and then pulled his hair over for his son.

"Do we still have his Mareep?" he asked Alex.

{Yeah, no. Helsing saved Shadow from getting killed and he never properly thanked Helsing for saving him.}

(hehe, I know, I know. I was jsut fangirling)
Alex shook her head. "No, I didn´t bring it with me. Sincerely Shadow, from all what was happening, to bring his Mareep didn´t pass my mind."

She had actually only a change of clothe and diapers with her.

"Ah well, it would have been better than my hair." Shadow said with a chuckle and just let Xavier play with his hair.

Not to far after this, Rica and Erin came back out and handed the Pokeballs back to their trainers.

"Alright, ready to go?" Rica asked them.

Zelda hummed as she looked around, not entirely sure where they where going. She just played in the sand.

Susan and her pokemon readied themselves for travel. "Ready to go, Blake? Shouldn't be much farther to the gym."

(Blake) "Yup, I'm ready when you are." Blake said.

Alex sweat-dropped "It will work for the moment." Rica and Erin came back with her pokemon healed and she placed them back in her belt.

"It is time to go back home." She said and sat in the bike holding Xavier again.

During the travel she looked back to Zelda, not sure what to do. She turned to Shadow and asked "What do you think about Zelda? Cypher erased her memory, they said it was something to keep her safer for a longer time. She forgot a good part about us and even about Helsing, probably forgot about Aphrodiel too. She forgot that she had done all this... Still she continues herself. MAybe was better this way? I think it is."

Shadow thought about this as he drove along the desert. Honestly he wasn't sure what to think about it; would Zelda be better off alone? Would she be better not knowing or remembering any of them?

"I think maybe...we should let her choose what she thinks...once we get back to Sunnyshore, we'll let her off on her own?" he suggested. He really didn't want to cut her away like that but after what she did with Xavier and even Aphoridel, he didn't want to chance it happening again. Plus she didn't even remember.

"Well, she isn´t completly alone now, she has her pokemon. I think she could deal well on her own." Zelda may look childish, but she does know how to live for herself, specially in the wild.

They will have to let her decide, and Alex won´t be surprised if she decides to go. Zelda gets bored quickly and always runs around.

(anything more to happen on their way back to Sunnyshore?)

{Nope we can go ahead and TS.}

(Luke) Eventually, Luke and the others made it to Verdanturf Town. They rented two hotels for the night. Luke left his beckpack in the one that everyone else was using while he was using the separate hotel that he bought for himself. Right now, he was on his bed, with a clean white shirt and jeans, and was holding Val's Poké Ball.

Susan ran forward. "Good job, Blake! And Drew evolved, that is so cool. Those red spikes make him look tough."
--------------------------
Sam decided to hit the sack, since it was getting late. Shell and Neas were already asleep in various parts of the room, so he tiptoed towards his bed and slipped in.

(You can timeskip, zach)

Quickly, Jerry healed up his Pokemon in the self-machine near by and then got a room from Joy. He headed upstairs and let out all his Pokemon before falling back in bed, soon letting sleep take over.

The next morning...

Jerry woke up with Emolga spread out across his chest. Manectric laying against his side and Smeargle curled up against his head. He gave a wide yawn and pulled himself up blinking tiredly.

"Dahmn...I overslept...I shoulda been up when ta sun was up." he muttered and cracked his neck.

{Giving him a bit of slang-ish language.}

(lol)

Sam awoke slowly. Neas was asleep under the desk, and Shell was curled up in the sun's rays.

As he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, a thought occurred to him - why hadn't he asked Brock what he knew about Mew?

He looked at the clock - 9:00. Brock would be at the gym by then. He pushed himself out of bed, waking his pokemon in the process.

"C'mon, guys, let's go back to the gym."

Both of them watched as he dressed, then followed him out of the door.

The trio passed through the Pokemon center, and headed to the gym. He tried the door. "Locked. Darn. Maybe Brock's a late sleeper. Well, let's wait here."

Sam sat down against some fencing nearby and took out a book on the gyms in Kanto, and started to read.

Alex smiled calmly.
"I feel complet again." She said. Xavier was soon satisfied and Alex closed her bluse.
"Waa, too bad I have to go back to work tomorrow." She sighed, than leaned her head on Shadow´s shoulder "I will need a lot of cheer tonight."

Shadow sweat dropped and looked at Alex.
"I have a feeling...that was directed towards to me..." he said with a chuckle and a faint blush across his face.

----

"Com' on." Jerry said, taking Emolga off his chest and set her on the bed before springing up and out of bed. "Com' on my friends! Let's roll!" he exclaimed.

Manectric opened an eye sleepily and yawned before hauling himself up and jumped down and then sat down on his butt and waited.

"Oh yeh....you'r fur." Jerry said and bent down before taking out a brush and a rubber glove before starting to run it through Manectric's mane and tail. Emolga screeched and flew around the ceiling getting her exercise before being let out by Smeargle.

Jerry soon got to his feet and threw the brush and glove off onto his bed. He raced to the window and jumped out of it, hands gripping the pane tightly as his skates kicked to life and he grinded on the fence before spinning off.

"Yow~ That was awesome~" he grinned and then waited for Manectric and Smeargle to come down. Once his Pokemon where back with him he skated off towards the gym.

Sam looked up at sudden noise. Off to the side there was another boy on a fence with several pokemon trailing him.

Noting it, Sam started reading again. He waved at the other person so they wouldn't hit him.

Jerry noted the boy waving at him and gave a wave himself, skidding to a stop inches in front of the boy.

"Yo, whassup?" he asked with a bright smile across his face. "You here for ta gym leader?" he asked.

Sam looked up and blinked. "Yes, I wanted to see if he knew anything about a pokemon I'm searching for. You?"

Neas and Shell, who were playing nearby, walked over and stood by him, curious.

"I'm here ta challenge hi'." Jerry said with a nod. "But...do ya know what kinda leader he is?" he asked, looking back towards his Pokemon. "I read in ta pamphlet that he's Rock leader." he explained. "But wanted to get it from a person right here in the city."

Manectric wanted nothing to do with the Pokemon that had just came and held his head up proudly, as if sporting off his nice shiny fur and sparking mane.

Emgola however had other ideas and dive-bombed the less threatening of Sam's Pokemon and then latched onto its head gleefully.

Smeargle hung back beside her master, her tail wrapped around his leg.

Shieldon flinched back when the flying squirrel landed on its head. Sneasel batted it off, surprised. Sam looked over. He was confident his pokemon would do fine if there was trouble.

"Yeah, Brock uses rock pokemon. Fought him yesterday, he had an Onix and Geodude."

He looked around Jerry at the smeargle. "I'm Sam. I know the Manectric and the Smeargle, but what's that one that landed on my Shieldon?"

Alex giggled. "We need to celebrate too, you know? Just the two of us... while Xavier is still asleep at night~" She whispered and stopped when the rest of Shadow´s family came from the kitchen after cleaning everything.

"I hope you all enjoyed the meal. It is the best way I can thank you for your help." She said, Xavier was now sleepy in her arms after an agitated day, wanting to see everyone and chomp their hairs.
