Hopelessly in love(Rain,open)

Umbra ~ level 89
Kriss ~ level 46
Suchi ~ level 66


It was calm out in the flowering Meadows... Though they were no longer "flowering"... Rather, the fields were covered in sparkling white snow. And in those fields, one could see three different shaped and sized figures walking in the distance... All though... It was more likely you would hear them...

<"Suchi! I'm hungry! Why are we doing this again!?"> Kriss the sableye complained very loudly, frown/grimace on her impish face that showed an eerie row of incredibly sharp teeth, jewel-like eyes narrowed.

The little dark/ghost type clung on Suchi's shoulder, which was wrapped in a silk scarf as the scizor walked steadily through the snow, little puffs of steam from her small mouth every time she breathed, red shell glinting in the sunlight. The normally patient bug/steel type looked exasperated by the questions, in which she had to repeat for the hundredth time. Umbra, the umbreon, was humming very cheerfully to himself, carrying a small whicker basket full of colorful pokeblocks, and a little letter on top.

<"Kriss... Silver wishes to send this package to a female named Rain... She is the daughter of the professor... Normally Theo would be the one to go, but Umbra insisted he should do it, and then you wanted to go, and now I have to make sure you two don't cause trouble."> Suchi explained through gritted teeth,

Kriss looked thoughtful before going "OOOOHHHH... Oh yeah...", once realization dawned on her. "I wanted to steal the basket..." She admitted.

Umbra gave a snort of disbelief, silver/red eyes trailing behind him as they continued moving. "You can TRY." He growled.

Kriss brightened. <"Really?"> She asked with a devilish smile, revealing every one of her white canines.

<"No."> Both Umbra and Suchi said in unison.

Kriss pouted, but still kept a small, sly smile.

Suchi turned to Umbra. <"Out of curiosity, why couldn't you just let Theo take the basket and end me this suffering?"> The question wasn't exactly serious... The three pokemon present were bickering, but none of it was for real... Just teasing.

Umbra smiled dreamily as he carried the basket. <"The most gorgeous espeon I have EVER seen... Lives over near that area... Her name is Lily... If I could just see her again... Sigh..."> He informed blissfully.

Suchi rolled her yellow eyes.

<"EEEEEEWWWW!!!"> Kriss hissed. <"Umbra gots cooties!">

<"Please be quiet..."> Suchi stated. <"We are almost there.">

In the distance, the very girl the three were looking for rode bareback on a Ponyta, an Espeon with golden eyes beside her. Rain wore a warm pale blue coat fringed with white fake fur and jeans, her hair tied up in a ponytail that trailed behind her. Rain was out enjoying the fresh air and scenery, something not uncommon for her. Rain loved the outdoors, and now that snow covered the field, there was a new kind of beauty to be admired. With a soft smile, the girl stroked Sola's fiery mane, warming her hands at the same time.

Lily, meanwhile, was the first to notice the three in the distance. Rain noticed seconds later, blinking as she felt the auras of the Umbreon, Sableye, and Scizor. "Who could that be?" the girl murmured, tilting her head. She was pretty sure those Pokemon normally wouldn't travel together...urging Sola to move a bit faster, the girl, Ponyta, and Espeon approached the group...

[Umbra]

Suchi stopped moving forward, yellow eyes peeled in the distance as a few shapes approached. Umbra's long black ears twitched and he stopped a split second later. Kriss who was dozing against Suchi's shoulder, got the front side of her face smacked by the female scizor's sudden stop. Grumpily waking up her jewel-like eyes, purple face a grimace she hissed, <"Now what? Are we there yet?">

Umbra had a neutral expression before his handsome face broke out into a wide grin. <"It's them! It's them!"> He cried, gently lowering the basket and prancing over to Lily, before stopping and bowing his head. <"Lily... You beautiful flower.."> He stated silkily, taking her small paw and kissing it before letting it go. <"We meet again... It must be fate.">

Kriss gave a squeal of triumph, lunging from Suchi's shoulder toward the now unguarded basket, but with lightening speed, Suchi had the sableye by her scruff. "<Nice try."> Suchi commented while holding the annoyed and huffing Kriss. The scizor plopped Kriss on the snow, walked over to the basket, picked it up, and walked calmly toward Rain. The scizor then reached over to Rain, holding the basket to her over her ponyta. At least she remembered why she was here...

Kriss, in the meantime, was watching Umbra and Lily's exchange. She pointed a small purple digit at the pretty espeon. <"YOUR the one who gave big bro cooties!"> She accused. She then grinned wildly, flashing a bunch of sharp teeth. <"Good job!"> She commended, and then laughed impishly.

[Rain]

OOC: Oh, BTW, Rain is Lillian's cousin, not daughter. And what does the letter say?

``L I L Y the espeon ~ level 92

``R A I N

<"It's them! It's them! Lily... You beautiful flower...We meet again... It must be fate.">

[/i]

Lily couldn't help but chuckle slightly at Umbra's actions, while Sola let out a snort of amusement. Even Rain couldn't help but smile, although she reminded herself to keep her cover of ignorance at the Umbreon's words. <"A pleasure to see you again as well, Umbra,"> the Espeon said with mirth, ignoring Kriss's comment (although she did smile). <"What brings you and your companions here?">

Rain, meanwhile, accepted the basket with a smile and a nod at Suchi. "Why thank you," she said gratefully, peeking inside the basket and lifting the letter. "To whom do I owe thanks for this kind gift?" Rain murmured to no one in particular, absentmindedly passing the basket to Sola, who took it in her mouth.[/blockquote]

The letter was small and plain, but on the front it read in very neat handwritten ink...

Mamoru Koru to Rain

Dear Rain,
I must admit, when I first saw you at the shopping grounds, I didn't know who you were at the time. Please accept my apologies for that. In case your wondering who wrote this, I was that silver haired boy with the blue eyes, though I called myself Silver at the time... You may even recognize my umbreon who was with me at the time... If he isn't there when your reading this, then he is in serious trouble when I find him. Moving on, when I came here Professor Elm popped up with a message last second about some kind of assignment he wanted me to do, and to talk to you and your cousin about it... Personally, business aside, I wouldn't mind just talking to you in person. I appreciate an avid pokemon lover like yourself. Could we meet somewhere soon to talk? Oh, and please enjoy the pokeblocks. I made them myself... And I assume they are good, otherwise Kriss(the sableye in case your wondering) wouldn't hound me over them. My apartment address is below. I hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,
Momoru Koru(Silver)

Suchi nodded respectfully and walked over to a tree stump, sitting on it and waiting for Umbra to finish his love bantering.

Kriss yawned, but then tilted her head quizically at Rain as she read the letter... Just staring at her with those gleaming jewel-like eyes... Never flinching... never moving... Suchi didn't seem to notice.

Umbra grinned. <"Eh. My trainer wanted to give your trainer something. And then these two wanted to come along. They are my teamates... Though I can look after myself...">

Suchi shook her head as if the idea were ludicrous. <"I don't trust you alone with this female."> The female scizor stated bluntly.

Umbra looked mockedly hurt <"Why I would NEVER...">

Rain read the note through a couple of times, a thoughtful look on her face. A pause, then a flip of the paper. Digging around in her pocket, the girl retrieved a blue pen, with which she wrote a quick note in scrawling yet elegant cursive:

Silver,

I would be glad to talk to you. I'll try to be at your apartment later today, if that would be okay with you. And thank you for the Pokeblocks; I'm sure my Pokemon will enjoy them.

~ Rain

Jumping off Sola, the girl walked over to Suchi, handing her the letter. "Could you give this to Silver?" she asked before turning around and preparing to get back on her Ponyta. Before she did, however, she paused, looking at Kriss. She was silent for a moment before she walked over to Sola and took the basket from the Ponyta, removing a Pokeblock. "According to Silver, you like these...would you like one Kriss?" she asked, holding out the Pokeblock to the Sableye.

Lily, meanwhile, laughed in response to Umbra and Suchi's words, golden eyes amused. <"As if I would let him do anything,"> she said teasingly, flicking the Umbreon's nose with her tail as she turned and walked toward Rain.

[Umbra]

Suchi looked up at the trainer and nodded, though she looked slightly surprised that Rain knew she could understand her request... Perhaps she was similar to Silver, able to read what his pokemon wanted. Suchi gingerly grasped the letter with her red pincer slowly getting up, and turning to the rest of the group, indicating silently she was ready to go.

Umbra blinked, slightly dazed before grinning. "{We'll see.}" He purred. "{Would ya like to hang out sometime?}" He asked as he watched her go.

Kriss just continued staring at Rain, before giving a sly smile and giggling eerily... Almost tauntingly... Before she leaped up and grabbed the purple pokeblock "<YOINK!>" She crooned as she ran away triumphantly, block in her little claw-like hand... Even though Rain just offered it.

A smile on her face, Rain got back onto Sola, preparing to ride back to her cottage. Lily, meanwhile, looked back at Umbra with a small smile. {"We'll see,"} she said before leaping up onto Sola, taking a seat right in front of Rain. With a wave, Rain urged Sola to move, and the three trotted away, leaving the trio alone in the meadow once more.

OOC: New thread?

Umbra shrugged good naturedly {"I can live with that."} And winked at the espeon as he trotted off in the snow. Kriss was munching on her pokeblock, eerie knowing grin on her face as she sat on Suchi's shoulder. The scizor turned to face her as they trio moved on "<Why are you smiling Kriss?>" Suchi asked. Kriss grinned wider, showing off more sharp teeth which glinted in the sunlight. "<That Rain girl is nice... But very wierd...>" The sableye concluded impishly. Umbra frowned silently to himself... Even Theo mentioned that at one point... The umbreon shook his head to clear the thought. Well, what did it matter really? It would be none of his concern if there WAS something wierd going on...

OOC: Sure ;D But could you start it? Please?
