Help... (Open)

[Zeke Newgate]

Chatot was quickly silenced by Alix’s death-glare but more out of confusion than fear; such was the peril of only being able to repeat people’s words, misunderstandings were commonplace. The bird was only trying to help and hadn’t said anything about her at all…unless she was hiding something. The fact that her little monkey partner echoed its trainer’s over reaction only made Chatot more suspicious, so much so that Chatot completely missed the obvious fact that Aki wasn’t acting scared of this new girl even in the slightest so the chances of her being dangerous to the poor girl was slim to none. Zeke thankfully had noticed this and currently his greatest worry was that his bird partner was about to start a war.

Sadly Chatot wasn’t the only one; having been ignored by everyone for quite some time Zeke’s Joltik had been content to watch things from the sidelines until a certain Aipom started badmouthing his friend. Then the tiny bug sprang into action, bouncing in so as to divert Riley’s gaze from the parrot to itself and standing about halfway between the two. Oblivious to the fact that his opponent was about 8x taller, Joltik channeled his inner Charizard and let out a warning growl ~Joltik! Jolt Jolt!~

Joltik said something to the extent of ‘You leave them alone!’ but Zeke knew that look; fur bristled up and sparks dancing from its body, there was going to be trouble. Given the already volatile nature of things, adding any more fuel to the fire would cause things to turn really ugly really fast.

“Hey-hey-hey!” Zeke darted forward grabbing the furry yellow baseball before he could get too charged up, though his arm went a bit numb for touching the electrified spider Zeke didn’t let go but instead held it up to eye level and scolded, “None of that, we’ve got more important things to do than picking a fight.”

~Jolt…~

Joltik reluctantly agreed and Zeke let him go, but made sure he stayed close by and away from the cranky monkey. That just left the noisy bird to deal with, “And you…”

Zeke plucked the still fluttering Chatot out of the air like a fruit from a tree and plopped the bird down to his usual perch on Zeke’s shoulder “…just chill a minute so we can figure things out.”

Right about then Aki let the proverbial flood gates loose. As much as Zeke was still confused about what exactly was going on, as he told Joltik, there were more important things going on, and the girl came first so for the time being Zeke stayed quiet conent to let the two girls have their moment. He felt Chatot sulk a little, perhaps feeling guilty that his blabbing had somehow helped to cause this sad scene but a reassuring scratch on the chin from his trainer helped perk Chatot up some.

[Audrey Pnevma]

Audrey would never admit to confusion, but all of this was really giving her a headache. I mean honestly, what were they suppose to do? She was the only legal adult in the entire group, (well, by the looks of it anyway.) What were a bunch of children going to do when she herself had no idea? Audrey let out an irritated sigh and took out her pokégear. The little girl needed professional help.

As the coordinator begun to dial the new female trainer’s voice rung out cold and demanding. “What happened here?” Now hadn’t that been the question of the night?

“Honey,” Audrey began utterly fed up with the situation. A tired irritation was clear in her voice. “The last thing we need is yet another do-gooder getting involved in a matter far above any of us.” Was that really the last thing needed? If it hadn’t been for the blonde and Castor the girl may still be curled beneath the bench…

Audrey never looked up from her gear when she spoke; her eyes were focused on the numbers typed across its screen. “There is nothing any of us can do,” she then said with a shrug before locking eyes with the scrubby brunette.


Castor fiddled at Audrey’s side. She was right, standing around asking every living being from here to Kanto wouldn’t matter if the girl weren’t seen to soon. Her injures could be far worse then they seemed. His breathing grew uneven as his imagination begun to take over. She could be dying for all they knew and there was nothing they could do. Castor looked to his cousin then back to the little girl before willing his feet to carry him. He swiftly turned and ran towards town.


Never taking her eyes from the young woman before her, she watched the pirate wrangle his Pokémon in her peripherals and readied herself to make the much-needed call to the Jennys. She hadn’t seen Castor start towards town, but she heard his heavy footfalls hit the sodden ground. Standing tall and confident, Audrey quietly listened as Castor distanced himself, secretly wishing that she could simply run away too.
