~PO-KE-MON!~

[Raven]

Pixel bowled Eevee over and pounced at Flaaffy.

"I guess... But what would I say?"

[FoxTrott]

"If somebody talks to you, or if you want to try to battle?" James asked.

Flaaffy squealed when she was pounced on by Pixel. She giggled, and playfully pushed him off before waving her tail at him.

[Raven]

Pixel nipped at it lightly. Eevee galloped after Flaaffy.

"Either one," Sabrina wailed hopelessly.

[FoxTrott]

James sighed. "Just try to engage them in polite conversation," he said, "they won't bite your head off, I swear. You could try talking to Teale, the other girl here. She seems pretty friendly."

"Flaaaffy!" bleated the Pokemon. She scampered up James' side, and pulled a Pokeball out of his pocket. It landed on the floor, and Pachirisu was released. The squirrel chittered in excitement, and pounced on Eevee.

[Raven]

Eevee tossed it off with her hind paws. Pixel pawed at Flaaffy's ears. As she looked at the floor uncertainly, the pokemon caught Sabrina's attention and she smiled.

[FoxTrott]

Pachirisu got to her feet, and ran in circles around Eevee. Flaaffy's ears twitched, and she batted at Pixel's tail.

James couldn't help but smile at their antics. "Definitely cuter than the other trainers' Pokemon," he smirked.

[Raven]

Pixel flicked Flaaffy's nose with his tail, then pounced her again. Sabrina nodded. Eevee shot out a paw to trip Pachirisu.

[Gifted]

"I wish the acctual tournament would start already," Teale muttered, kind o bored. Of course, so far she really wasn't impressed with her competition. That Ryuk kid being the glaring exception of course. She wondered if this new girl was any good. Not judging by her not-even-evolved pokemon, but Teale didn't judge by that... be kind of hypocritical if she did.

[Dokeshi]

Ryuk yawned a bit and walked out, quickly becoming a wallflower and examining everyone else, wondering if there would be more arrivals, or if the tournament would start soon.

[Sparrow]

Matriarch and Marill walk out of the room and hang out in the hall way. After a moment she walks down the hall and back outside,
“I know I had a hat...” she says.
Marill bobs in response.
“Mar-ma-rill- Ma-rill-Marill” it replies.
She nods in response.
“Yes the beach is the best place to look. Maybe I’ll get some of my memory sparked.”
They head for the beach.

[Raven]

Sabrina stifles a yawn behind one hand. "When do you think they'll start the competition?" she asked. She really hoped that the Ryuk kid would be too occupied to talk to her. He scared her.

[FoxTrott]

James tried to recall when the start would be.

"Yesterday was the first day," he thought aloud, "which means today is the second, and they said battles would start on the fourth... So, not for two more days." The air of boredom around the manor was obvious, even among the Pokemon. Manectric and Luxray were own their own exploring, trying to find something fun to do.

[Raven]

Sabrina nodded. "So we're just waiting, then?" she asked. Then her eyes lit up. "Maybe we could explore the island."

[FoxTrott]

"Seems like it," sighed James. He smiled at the sudden sparkle in Sabrina's eyes. "Lead the way!"

"Flaaa!" "Pachi pachi!" the respective Pokemon squealed. Pachirisu was particularly excited at the prospect of exploration. She scampered onto James' head, while Flaaffy stayed at his feet.

[Raven]

Eevee yipped at the loss of her playmate, and instead turned to weave between Sabrina's legs as the girl attempted to make it safely outside. Sabrina Pixel followed loyally, instantly forgetting his game with Flaaffy. "Vuuul-pix," he cried, trotting after his trainer.
