No idea, just vanished but its fine with me to continue. I'll be able to handle going solo for now as I'm pretty good at coming up with stuff on my own to do/
Derrik wiped some of the spit off his face that showed disgust.'This Gat being a right mongrel he is, covering me in this bush oyster.Turning his head to glare at the ghastly who seemed to be sleeping with the way he just hovered there.
Picking the hat off his head to shake off the excess of ghost boogers as he saw Eric break up into countless pixels; watching how they spread out to do different things. He was fascinated by the concept of this hologram and wondered how it worked, but could figure it took some highly advance tech that would just go over his head.
Pondering over this when the low click of wheels caught his attention to see that Professor Evergreen had entered the room. He listened to what she said and couldn't help but leer at his ghastly before letting out a scoff.'Ah I've dealt with plenty of wild poke who were far more of a stubborn arse. Making a cobber out of him will be a piece of piss I reckon. A shrug of his shoulder, thinking to not force it for the time being and turned his attention back to the professor.' Well I can't thank ya enough for all this. Know I'll find a way to repay ya and that's a promise.'Giving a big smile as he held out a hand to shake.' And don't forget to give me oldies a ring.' He started to turn towards the ghastly, but stopped mid-way after recalling something on his mind.' Right, before we head out, mind if I ask where the mart is? and what route be good to start with to find rare pokes and what not?'A raised eyebrow as he asked these questions; being used to exploring the wild and it was best to always be prepared before venturing out.
Watching the screen to see it show information on the pokemon he had just acquired; both its nature and likes along with its description.'So a ghost poke afterall, well ain't that a right kicker.'Scratching at his chin as he read over the screen before lowering his gaze to the pokeball ready to be taken, which as he saw had an engraved capital silver E.
Excitement suddenly welled up within him and bubbled through his veins and a big grin plastered on the scarred aussie's face. He quickly made to grab it, but then Eric suddenly appeared just as he did causing him to jump in shock, his arms thrown up that he nearly threw the pokeball. Fumbling to catch the small ball.'CRIKEY! Ya nearly made me heart cark it with the poppin out.'Patting at his chest, waiting for his pounding heart to settle.
A long, drawn out sigh to catch his breath then turned his attention to the holographic assistant to see a drone hovering over to offer a small tablet device. Derrik glanced it over before Eric started a long and complicated explanation that all new trainers needed to know.'Gah! hold ya horses there mate.'Hurriedly scrambling for a notebook to scribble down everything, which was a bit of a challenge; what with the lack of its pauses. At least Eric had the decency to stop at certain intervals, allowing him to get it all down.
The explanation finished and pokedex handed over and even better that the drone gave each of them an extra pokeball.' No questions here mate. And now to greet this gas ball.'Holding out the pokeball as he was very anxious to meet his very first pokemon and new friend.
A red beam fired out from the center followed with a low hum and a red outline of an orb formed. Seconds later a floating black ball surrounded by purplish smog hovered in the air as two thin lines blinked opened to reveal Gat's eyes and what looked like a...top hat?'Wha...? Oi, where d'ya get that hat? Pointing at the hat while waiting for a response but the ghastly just peered at him with a dark stare and awkward silenced ensued.....
.....ah..right then. Well, good to meet ya gats. Name's Derrik and here's hopin we become good buds, what do ya say, eh?'His right arm extended as if to shake hands, though the ghastly's lack of arms made that impossible. Not that the pokemon would shake anyway for ghastly took one look at the offered hand only to turn its back to him with a purposeful loud harumph!' C'mon now, ain't no need to be actin a pommy bastard and give a greeting all proper like.' Hoping that got the ghastly to acknowledge him, but instead was left with watching the ghastly drift off with a loud yawn, clearly ignoring him.
Gritting his teeth as he looked over to the groomed bloke that came with him to see the vulpix being all friendly and buddy like.' This gat being a real ratbag he is. What ya think got stuck this gassy arse?' Perplexed as to why the vulpix was gettin on well with his trainer and walked briskly to the ghastly and swiped his hand in an attempt to poke it; instead his hand went right through its intangible form and the sensation caused Gat to turn with an enraged look in its eyes.
The ghastly stuck its tongue out at him and gave a long pbbbht that sent out a flail of spit then floated right through Derrik's head; leaving him drenched in spit and chokeful gas that made his eye sting.
