Beautiful Night(open)

[Umbra]

"<Ahh...>" Umbra sighed in satisfaction as the male umbreon stretched his muscles on the concrete edges of the main plaza fountain. The night sky was dark, yet hundreds of stars gleamed and twinkled in the sky along with a full, whole moon. A warm, night breeze stirred Umbra's black fur as his red eyes surveyed the empty plaza. "<Sigh... You Umbra, are a lonely fella. You need a girl some day.>" The male umbreon stated in a mixture of annoyance and bemusement as he landed gracefully on the concrete ground, yellow bands glowing in the darkness.

Umbra, was after all a simple guy... Laid back, had simple wants and needs in life. Cared about his team and trainer immensely, but didn't really have the ambition some of the others did to reach the elite four in Johto. Sure, he would do it for Silver, and he would one day enjoy the glory... But to be honest, for Umbra it would be hard to compare a relaxing day at the beach to becoming champion... Was rather hard.

With a twitch of his fox-like ears, the male umbreon padded in the direction back to his trainer's apartment, though it would take a while to reach, which he was aware.

{"The night sky, a sight to see with the stars ever glowing"} The Vulpix spoke, her hazel brown eyes shined with the stars above her. Ever since she was caught, she had always disagreed with her trainer and ran when the other pokemon tried to talked to her.
It was only when she was alone at night, could she feel at ease and at peace.

Star was sitting on a beach, her tails neatly curled on her back and the hairs on her head swayed with the midnight wind. Her ears twiched ever so slightly, hearing a pokemon coming down the stone path. But of course, she didn't look to see who it was and continued to stare at the night sky.

[Umbra]

"<Hello? Miss Vulpix, I couldn't help but notice you.>" Said a charming voice, and standing there, previously out of nowhere was Umbra. The male umbreon gave a slight tip of his head, easy going grin on his face. "<But anyone as charming as you I'm sure garners quite a bit of attention. Are you enjoying the stars?>"

[starwave]

The vulpix only glanced at the Umbreon for a moment before returning her hazel brown eyes back to the sky and spoke with a gentle voice, even though it had a hint of annyonce in it.<"Yes I am. Only I'm the type that doesn't like attention, Umbreon.">
Star's gaze fell back onto Umbra, flicking one ear foward and blicked once.
<"So, who are you?"> Star asked, half closing her eyes with another flick of her ears.

[Umbra]

"<Riiiggghhttt.>" Umbra drawled out, taking a sliding step away from any potential burnings(Both literally and figuratively... Ah well... He was still head over heels with that espeon named Lily, if only he could get her to actually take him seriously.) "<Well as mum always used to say, "respect a lady son an-... Oh whats the use, your just like your father."> The male umbreon chuckled. "<Arceus rest her patient soul... Anyway, names Umbra miss?...>"

[starwave]

<"Star."> The vulpix spoke, jumping down from the bench and landing on her paws gracefully. <"I saw that you were heading home. Mine if I join you?"> She asked, turning to Umbra with a small smile on her face. It was rare for her to say that, but then she was bored and needed something to do.

[Umbra]

The umbreon looked slightly surprised by this statement. "<A lady asking to walk me home?>" the male umbreon rubbed the back of his head with a paw, red eyes downcast. "<Umm... Sure! I don't see why not.>" The male umbreon grinned, mirth on his face. "<Star... Nice name. I'm sure it suits you quite well.>"

[starwave]

<"I'm not walking you home, just joinning you on your walk there."> She spoke sharply, half wishing she had taking that back. Her ears flicked back as she looked at Umbra for a moment, still having the same anger from her trainer.<"And you have no idea."> She added, calming her voice down and started moving away from the umbreon, down the path he was heading.<"So what's the deal with you?"> She asked, sly but kind at the same time.

[Umbra]

"<Deal?>" Umbra asked to himself with a grin. "<What deal do you speak of? It's a rather vague question aint it?>" The male umbreon chuckled. "<If you are referring to my colorful personality, here is what I say. Just because I'm a dark type doesn't mean I have to be dull, dark, and gloomy person. I mean seriously. People like you better when your opened up a little, makes things easier for everyone involved. And what is with all the seriousness I might add? If you can't have a little fun with life, there ain't much point in studying it.>"

[starwave]

Star half closed her eyes, trying not to snap and let out a long sigh before looking at Umbra with the same eyes. <"Maybe some pokemon don't like to open up. Unlike you."> She let out a small red flame before speaking again, her hazel brown eyes almost ablaze.<"Some, believe it or not, have a harder time with it then most. Wild types even. And I wasn't refering to your type anyway, just you in generl."> She rolled her eyes, flicked one of ears back before looking at the path ahead again.

OOC: Hard headed, isn't she?

[Umbra]

OOC: Got a chip on her shoulder she does.

Umbra looked silently thoughtful and kept his red eyes on the path before he finally said, "<Yeah, I know... I feel for those people. Some out there got a lot of hurt and anger in them.>"

The umbreon glanced at the vulpix. "<So... You look like you have been around the block. Why don'cha tell me a little about yourself.>"

[starwave]

<"I wouldn't want to bore you. You might think that its a waste of your time."> Star huffed, letting another flame escape her and landed on the stone ground, leaving a small burn mark on one stone. It was true, most pokemon didn't want to hear her story and if they did, she would only here pity from them. She had too much of that already.

[Umbra]

"<Eh. The only thing that bores me is when not enough of something is going on. I can deal with silence for instance, but I don't like it very much.>" The umbreon concluded.

"<Well, if you don't want to tell me, okay... So... I'm going on a hunch here, but I guess you were recently owned by a trainer correct?>" Umbra asked somewhat seriously. "<Nothings fer sure, but you got that feel about you.>"

[starwave]

<"No, but I am now."> Star sighed, her head turned away from the umbreon for a moment before looking back at Umbra.<"My mother and father was owned by two trainers though, One to a female and the other to a male trainer."> She stated, rolling her hazel brown eyes again.

<" Their trainers always fussed over me, even my parents did. But I ran, ran away from it all."> Star narrowed her eyes, growling. <"Too much drama. I never liked any of it.">
She added, flicking both of her ears back. She kept the part of how hard it was to keep alive, knowing that no one wanted to hear that.

[Umbra]

"<Don't care much for humans eh? Well, I guess I can't say anything. Maybe you know them differently than I do>"

Umbra shrugged, a content smile on his handsome face at Long forgotten memory. "<As for my trainer... He was the one who saved my life... And his dad is a gym leader in Johto. We worked together training a lot... Course, I liked those days better. Ever hear the parable that "Beginning the journey is better than finishing it?" It's like that. When we first traveled around and got Theo, and Suchi, and Kriss, man those were the days... But now all it is is getting trained up to fight the elite four... And when we win, you know... I'm not sure where to go from there.>"

The umbreon chuckled. "<Sorry, I'm rambling right now. I'll shutup if need be.>"
