[IC] Pokémon: Legacy of Trainers (Slice of Life RP)

Faye follows her Arcaine and ends up with Emily is location.

@Alisdragon911
Emily looked behind her. She say Faye. She took a breath and looked back towards the bushes. Pidgeot was still flying above that spot, that area, circling it.
"I...I think Pidgeot spotting something."

[Alisdragon911]

“I think my Arcaine found something,” Faye said as her Arcaine is sniffing around the bushes.

[Vampiretwilight]

@Alisdragon911
Emily nodded. She looked at the Arcanine. She also looked at her Pidgeot.
"Who, or what, could be hiding in there?"

@Vampiretwilight @Alisdragon911
Oh good, human voices. The presence of other humans made the situation less dangerous. But also more awkward. Eric's leafy back rustled as he shifted to a crouch, showing his face, hands up in a nonthreatening gesture.

"I don't mean to trespass," he began in a clear, direct voice. "I was running from some wild Pokemon and ended up here. I mean no harm."

The man fished around in his pocket and pulled out an official-looking name badge.

"I'm Eric Wong, reporter for Resolute Forum."

Eric doubted any of these women had heard of the indie political news website, but his position alone sometimes garnered respect.

@Zanavy
Emily blinked, confused. She looked at the man. She raised an eyebrow.
"Who? What?"
She never heard of either of them. Then again, she had never been exposed to much media growing up, other than the news on television and such.

Pidgeot finally landed on the ground. It made an agitated sound and Emily quickly moved to calm him down.
"Calm down, Pidgeot. It's ok now."
It took a bit of effort, but she got him to go into his pokeball. She sighed after that.

Faye pets Arcaine to calm him down as Faye try to stay out of politics. To her they will drive you a bit crazy.

[Zanavy]

It seemed the women didn't mind Eric being there. At least they weren't openly hostile. Though they didn't say much, so he couldn't be certain.

The reporter adjusted his hipster glasses and glanced back toward the fence. He detected no sights or sounds of running Pokemon. Maybe the wild Pokemon would've left him alone, anyway, and all this work and awkwardness was for nothing.

"If you don't want me nosing around here, would you mind directing me to the shortest way out? I can leave right away."

Eric shifted to stand up but winced as he put his full weight on a pained ankle. The reporter eased back to the ground.

"...I can leave in a few more minutes."

[Vampiretwilight]

@Zanavy
The mercrow and the noctowl had flown after him. But, they stopped once he was past the fence. They flew back to the group after that.

Emily narrowed her eyes. She sighed a bit.
"This is a ranch. My main worry is you disturbing the baby pokemon and such. We adopt them to good homes and we can not have them traumatized or anything. They are sensitive. You are lucky my baby grimer is back in her pokemon. She is such a shy and sensitive little thing."
She frowned.

[Alisdragon911]

Faye and her Arcaine rubs up to Eric, “you can stat and I can look at your ankle.”

[Vampiretwilight]

@Alisdragon911
Emily nodded.
"Just be careful not to disturb the pokemon. Almost all are still babies after all. I do not wish for Sarah to get mad or for the pokemon to be hurt or anything."

She was sincere with her words.

[Zanavy]

Eric frowned at Faye for a second, jaw clenched. But then he sighed an 'okay' and stretched his right foot out for a clearer view. He could still bend the ankle (though it hurt) - the reporter at least knew enough to know that was a good sign. This was usually the type of thing he would "walk off." Eric felt a bit uncomfortable to be babied like this and tried not to look at Faye. He turned his attention to Emily instead.

"Oh, okay, I'll do what you need," he replied in a quieter voice than before. "I don't want to scare any Pokemon. I'll take whatever path is necessary to stay away from them."

The black-haired man briefly looked out at the ranch. It seemed pretty large and well-maintained, at least from what he could see. But this snapshot wasn't enough to really tell how well a place was run, how well the Pokemon were treated. Still, Eric had seen much worse, and this place didn't look newsworthy enough to pique particular interest.

"What kinds of people adopt these Pokemon?" Eric inquired. "How can you be certain that they're going to good homes, as you claim?"

[Vampiretwilight]

@Zanavy
Emily gave a slightly frustrated sigh.
"Sarah, who owns this place by the way, has a strict screening process. We only adopt out a few times a year, and only at certain festivals. The ones who are looking to adopt have to fill out paperwork and everything before they can take them home. Sarah does not take any chances. I do not know more than I do since I simply work here."

She froze when her ivysaur was suddenly out of his pokeball.
"Ivysaur!"
She gasped and tried to coax him back into his pokeball. She failed, but she managed to calm him down.

She looked at Eric.
"Sorry about Ivysaur. He must have heard you from inside his pokeball. He has a...protective personality. He has been that way since he was a little bulbasaur."

[Alisdragon911]

Faye was not babying Erik, she is cercern about his injuries. She guess Erik injuries will get worse before she would treat him. Arcaine walks pass Erik slapping his tail at Erik.

[Zanavy]

Eric frowned at Emily's hostile attitude. He was just trying to make casual conversation while he happened to be stuck there for a minute. Hmm... did he do the thing where an attempt at polite conversation came out as interrogation? The man tried to come up with a question that had less chance of ruffling feathers.

"So... .....baby Grimer? Don't see that every day. How is that going?"

Eric smiled lightly at the playful Arcanine and held out a hand for the canine Pokemon to get his scent.

[Vampiretwilight]

@Alisdragon911@Zanavy
Emily raised an eyebrow. Anyway, she cleared her throat.
"She is doing fine. I hope her brother is behaving himself for his own trainer."
She glanced at Faye for a moment.
"They were unexpected. We do not have any grimers on the ranch and yet we somehow ended up with two grimer eggs in with the ones we had here. It was odd."
She shrugged a bit. She held up the pokeball.

"I suppose I could let you meet her if you'd like. I think she has gotten more used to people now."

[Alisdragon911]

“Sorry about my Arcaine,” Faye said as her Arcaine sniffs Eric to see if he encounter any wild Pokémon he is tracking. “My Grimer is a bit mischievous but he can behave himself.”

[Zanavy]

Eric reflexively wrinkled his nose a bit. Of course, all Pokemon deserved respect. Still, he wasn't too keen on meeting a Grimer.

"If you wish," he reluctantly answered Emily. "It's up to you, I suppose, and whether you think it will help or harm your Pokemon at this stage."

The bespectacled man swiveled his ankle a little and looked back to Faye.

"Do you think it's alright? I'm supposed to work this evening. Of course it had to be the right, the left would've been more convenient."

[Vampiretwilight]

@Alisdragon911@Zanavy
Emily nodded.
"Alright. I think I can let you meet her, but please be careful. She is gentle believe it or not."

She summoned the baby grimer out of her pokeball.
"Here we are."
She looked at the baby grimer.
"Hello, sweetheart. Want to say hello?"

She looked at Faye for a moment.
