 ECHOES, SILENCE, PATIENCE & GRACE Progress on Everett's house was nearly complete, and would probably be finished within the day. Knowing this, Everett began the journey from Polaris Lake back to Shaula Town by following the Risa River downstream. It was the quickest and most efficient way to find his way around this area of the region, and it was a pretty nice walk to take in some scenery.Everett's stamina wasn't infinite, however, so the long trek was very tiring. After some time, he stopped to take a rest near the riverbed. While he didn't feel confident letting all six of his Pokemon out while he walked, he didn't want to play favorites by only having Caesar out by himself. This little respite, however, gave him an excuse to let everyone out. He gathered all six of his Poke Balls in his arms, then chucked them out in front of himself. The contents of each Ball spilled out, revealing Everett's full team. They all looked toward their Trainer and gave their greetings happily. Even Darwin, the most recent addition to the team, seemed energetic."Hey, guys!" Everett said, grinning. "I just decided to stop and rest for a little while and figured you all could join me!" He sat down at the edge of the river and finally relaxed, and his Pokemon all crowded around him.

Roland had this sneaking suspicion that he must've missed a turn somewhere. This most likely stemmed from the fact that the only river he could find on the Pokedex's map was in a different area all together from where his destination supposedly was. Having deduced that he had somehow managed to walk all the way to Risa River, he had figured he might as well take a break by the riverbed before heading back west. With that in mind he'd let Roswell out of his pokeball to join him, the Elgyem settling for walking arund the clearing, never straying too far from his trainer. Lost in thought for an unspecified amount of time, Roswell breaks the spell by tugging at his suit quite forcefully. Being very much relaxed, he opted for telepathic communication over actual vocalizing. "...What?" In answer, Roswell simply pointed at something further up the riverbank. ("There's someone there, look!") Sure enough, someone was sitting at the edge of the river, just upstream of Roland. A fellow trainer no doubt, considering the many pokemon gathered around him. A complete team as far as Roland could tell. He considered approaching them for a moment, but he'd hate to be the one to break up the happy gathering. "It almost makes you jealous, huh?" Roland smiled slightly as he said so, Roswell immediately picking up on it. ("Y-yeah...) And so it was that the both of them found themselves staring at the considerably larger party upstreams.

ECHOES, SILENCE, PATIENCE & GRACE The team quickly got energized and went about their own activities. Caesar sat by Everett's side and watched the others. Mango and Bolin took to training immediately, letting their now friendly rivalry fuel their development. Faust seemed to be looking on, but it was always difficult to discern his true intentions. Wizzy, as usual, was still not aware of the fact that he was out of the Poke Ball and just stood in the same area he had been summoned in. Darwin, happy to be out with people he trusted, was out running around, not a care in the world. In his short time with the team, the Eevee had really blossomed into a loving, friendly little guy. Darwin got a little ways away from the group, but then he noticed another person and a Pokemon nearby. He was a little leery of the human, but the strange alien Pokemon piqued his interest. He stepped cautiously towards the pair, his curiosity getting the better of him. |

Watching the lively bunch upstream, Roland had almost failed to notice the Eevee approaching the two of them most cautiously. Roland thought it safe to assume that it belonged to the other group, meaning that it was most likely tame and no cause for alarm. Quite the contrary really, Eevee was just the sort of pokemon you couldn't help but love, whoever you were. They're friendly, cute, and their several evolutions makes them an unbelievably popular addition to any team. "There's an Eevee for Eevee-ryone~", he remembered his mother telling him that when he was very young. It seemed fairly accurate, even now. Roswell on the other hand, had never crossed paths with an Eevee before. So he was arguably as interested in the fuzzy creature as it was in him. Just as cautiously as the opposing party was approaching them, Roswell raised an arm and waved at the Eevee. Roland opted to stay seated for now, admittedly curious to see how this meeting would turn out.

ECHOES, SILENCE, PATIENCE & GRACE Darwin was a little nervous when the strange Pokemon came up to him, but he sniffed at him and finally discovered that he wasn't a threat. He smiled gently. "(Hi, there!)"Everett looked around and noticed that Darwin wasn't nearby, and that he had found another Pokemon and Trainer nearby. He beckoned for the team to follow, and they all did except for Wizzy, who barely even noticed that they left.
Everett and his entourage of Pokemon approached the Trainer and alien-looking Pokemon. "Hey, there!" he greeted. "Sorry if my Eevee's bugging you. He's pretty curious." Darwin looked back at his new Trainer, somewhat hurt by his words. He couldn't help it if things around him were just so exciting! "My name's Everett, and I'm a Trainer. That's a pretty interesting Pokemon you've got there! It's an Elgeyem, right? I've seen those around occasionally where I'm from." As usual, the subject of Pokemon got Everett talkative and sociable. Hopefully the other guy would be able to get a word in edgewise. Roland Gates ✖ gonna try to get the ball rolling on the drama haha |

("H-hi!") While a singular Eevee had seemed manageable in and of itself, seeing another 4 pokemon and their trainer approaching suddenly had Roswell feeling fairly nervous. Meanwhile, Roland promptly got up on his feet as the other trainer greeted him. "Hey yourself! And don't worry about it, he's not bothering anyone!" Honestly, who could possibly get mad at something with a face like that? He took a moment to look down at the various other pokemon this young trainer had brought with him. It was a cool looking bunch by any means. A Bulbasaur, a Heracross, a Rufflet, and a... Actually, what was that? There was something standing(?) there, something that looked like someone had just fashioned a cheap Pikachu plush out of a cheap blanket. On closer inspection, there were two holes in what he believed was supposed to be the torso, almost like... peeping holes? As curious as the sight of this creature made him, there was also the matter of this Slowpoke hanging around in the general direction of where the other party had come from. It didn't seem to be moving... or anything else really. Roland was disturbed in his train of thought as the other trainer introduced himself as Everett, taking an appearent interest in Roswell. "Well Everett, the name's Roland." He quickly gestured towards Roswell, who was currently finding himself increasingly overwhelmed as he beheld the large party surrounding him. "That there's Roswell, my one and only partner so far, and yes, yes he is an Elgyem. You've got quite the impressive party yourself and... whatever that is." He quite bluntly pointed at the rag as he said so, though he was quick to adress the pokemon itself now. "No offense of course, I just don't know WHAT to make of you, I mean, are you a blanket? Are you under the blanket? WHAT are you?" He was aware that he was probably obsessing just slightly on the matter, but he couldn't help but being curious about it.

ECHOES, SILENCE, PATIENCE & GRACE Everett chuckled. "I guess I should introduce my team, too!" Roland seemed to specifically point out Faust, which made the little Mimikyu nervous. His Trainer picked up on that quickly. "Oh, that's Faust. He's a Mimikyu! His true identity is hidden underneath that sheet, but I've been warned not to look at his true form." Faust glided up onto Everett's shoulder, and the Trainer responded by scratching at his sides with his finger. "That being said, he's really very sweet and caring! You can't judge a book by it's cover, after all."With that quick introduction out of the way, Everett moved on to the rest of his team. "The Bulbasaur is named Caesar. He's my first Pokemon! The Rufflet and Heracross are Mango and Bolin, respectively. They like to fight a lot. The Slowpoke over there is also mine. His name's Wizzy. And of course, you met my Eevee, Darwin-" he stopped to look for Darwin, but he had already run off somewhere. He was a little bit downstream, sniffing at something he saw in the river. "Darwin, get back over here!" he scolded. Darwin looked over at Everett and started to walk back, but suddenly a tentacle appeared from the riverbed and grabbed the Eevee by the leg. Darwin struggled to free himself, but he was quickly pulled into the water. Shocked, Everett and the rest of the team ran over in Darwin's direction. |

"Mimikyu you say?" The name didn't make the pokemon any more recognizable to him, though it did sort of motivate him in the sense that there was pokémon he'd yet to even see out here. "And you can't look at it? Ever?" Naturally, Roland wanted nothing more than to just tear that blanket straight off to see what was hiding inside. He managed to restrain the urge just barely, listening to Everett as he introduced his team. Turns out that Slowpoke was Everett's after all, though it was yet to move from where Roland had first seen it. He was just about to greet them all in earnest as a loud splash interrupted him, Everett, his team and Roswell all bolted to the riverside in a hurry. Looking around, the Eevee was nowhere to be found. "Oh..." And so it quickly dawned on Roland as well what had just happened. Looking into the river itself, is was hard to tell where the Eevee had gone, the water flowing much too fast for anyone to get a clear view of what was happening beneath the surface. It was just plain dangerous to attempt about anything in this situation, both to the group as a whole and the Eevee itself. And the strange light emanating from the surface of the water all of a sudden sure as anything didn't make it seem any less unsafe. Tags: Everett Mercer OOC: Rise Darwin, rise!

ECHOES, SILENCE, PATIENCE & GRACE "Darwin!" Everett cried. There was no way this was happening right now! Normally, Everett probably would've gone into a lecture about why you don't stick your nose in places it doesn't belong, but there was no time! Darwin had to be rescued! But who would be able to go in and rescue him? Everett didn't have a Water-"Wizzy!" he shouted, pleading with his Pokemon. "Please save Darwin!"
Of course, the Slowpoke barely managed to look over at his Trainer with a dopey look on his face. None of the team were really in any place to be diving in the river, and that didn't bode well.
Darwin had been grabbed by a wild Tentacool and pulled underneath the surface of the river. He struggled to break the hold that the creature's tentacle had on his leg, but to no avail. Struggling for breath as well as freedom, he used his paws and grabbed on to whatever he could. He had little time left, and his eyes began to close just as he pawed onto a sparkling green stone... |

Roland had considered lifting the Eevee up to the surface with his psychic powers, the problem being that lifting even such a small pokémon took concentration that Everett wouldn't allow him with his panicked yelling. Not that he could blame him for reacting as such, Roland doubted that he'd be able to keep calm if Roswell was the one drowning right now. Roland resolved to try nonetheless, narrowing his eyes as he tried to pierce the water with his gaze alone, seeking for as much as a faint trace of the poor Eevee through the perpetually rippling water. Then there was a spark, breaking Roland out of his concentration as he saw it. "What the-?" Then another, and another, the sparks dancing across the water's surface. Roland was at a loss for words as the water lit up, the sparks growing fiercer by the second. "...Is anyone else seeing this?" The question itself wasn't really directed at anyone in particular, he supposed he just wanted some confirmation that this was indeed happening right in front of him right now. Roswell's eye going wide right next to him was just about enough to assure him that it was. Tags: Everett Mercer OOC: Make it happen~ |

ECHOES, SILENCE, PATIENCE & GRACE Everett looked on in horror, and prepared to dive in to save Darwin himself, but was stopped for a moment as he noticed a spark of electricity dance across the surface of the water. Wizzy had finally been spurred into action somehow, also, as if he had finally processed and understood his Trainer's directions, but it was a little too late for that. The sparks began to get more and more intense, until finally something shot out of the water in a yellow blur.The first thing everyone would notice was a Tentacool floating above the water, clearly fainted and somewhat singed. The second thing was the blur that had shot out of the water had made a landing back on land, and it was a sight to behold. Everett quickly snuck out his Pokedex and scanned the creature, revealing its identity as Jolteon, one of the many evolved forms of..."Darwin!" Everett gasped in relief. It seemed that somehow his newest companion had managed to evolve right when he needed to the most! The newly evolved Jolteon was still in shock, but shook himself back to awareness and sped over to his Trainer. He shot through the air at a quite frankly ludicrous speed and tackled over Everett, knocking him onto the ground and licking his face apologetically."(I'm so sorry!)" he cried. "(I promise I won't sniff strange things in rivers anymore! All I want to do now is run and run and run and run-)" Darwin didn't even finish what he was saying before he shot off in a random direction, running around the whole team and even his new friends.
Everett looked back at Roland and Roswell, smiling sheepishly. "Well, that was certainly interesting, huh?" he chuckled. "I wasn't even expecting that!"Roland Gates ✖ notes: sorry again! it's been a weird couple days |
