Cloudy days and a smile (open)

[Darkestic]

The skies were cloudy as Lunakov entered the town of Violet city she knew too well. Her brother had taken her there one time to go shopping when she was younger, back when their father was still alive. Carrying her charmander Alexandric on her back; the clouds looked as though they were going to rain. That worried Lunakov more than anything due to charmander's tail. Traveling for a few days before reaching the town, it was probably time they had a break. At least that was what she was thinking; knowing that Ekans needed some air as well her eyes looked around for the pokemon center but couldn't remember where it was. It had been so long since she was last there. Boots touching the ground making a tapping sound as she walked the streets.

"Alexandric?" Lunakov said as she turned her head looking at him half asleep on her shoulders. His eyes stared up at her as he wanted to growl at the humans that walked by them. "Do you want to go into your pokeball it is going to rain?" asked Lunakov. But Alexandric refused and gave her a thumbs up as though telling her that he will be fine. "Suit yourself. But if it is pouring, you are going into your pokeball no ifs ands or buts." Lunakov told him.

Alexandric (charmander) gave a sigh and nodded his head understanding it; he knew all too well why she was really protective over him and Ekans. Stopping they found Bellsprout tower; both their eyes looked at it with smiles on their faces. But then they turned their attention to the road and headed down to find the pokemon center. Lunakov needed to pick up some new groceries and make some extra money for her trip.

Alexandric played with her ponytail to make her laugh, doing funny things with it like putting it on his head and mimicing her. Lunakov did laugh as she stopped for a moment. A good laugh and some fun was what they all needed after a long few days. but in the back of Lunakov's head she was thinking about catching one of the ghost pokemon that she heard lived in the bell sprout tower.

[atrb=background,http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g16/ForTheLuvaDIRT/Melrosetablemiddle2.png] Melrose couldn't remember just how he'd gotten lost again, but he was pretty sure he had Nova to blame this time, and not himself. He glared down at the Riolu, who pretended not to notice as it rode on Antauri's back--Antauri being his Luxray. Normally, Nova would be in its pokeball, but the small black-masked pokemon had decided otherwise and had broken out some time ago, causing Melrose no end of emotional pain. Why couldn't the little riolu behave? Why was it so hard to get the idea of obedience into its scull? Melrose knew why, of course. It still considered his sister to be its trainer even though Melrose's sister had, quite happily, given the pokemon to him. Whenever his sister came into view, the pokemon did a complete change, from an annoying tag-along that never stopped causing trouble to a trying-to-please pokemon brimming love and affection. When he first saw it happen, it very nearly made him choke on the water he was drinking and he'd found the pokemon looking at him innocently as he coughed and spluttered, as if it had no idea what he was making such a big deal about. No, Melrose knew by now that Nova was full of tricks, and it was yet another one of the riolu's tricks that had gotten both he and Antauri lost. Nova had darted away from Melrose as soon as it came to be time for it to return to its pokeball, and while chasing after the masked troublemaker, Melrose and Antauri quickly found themselves lost in the unfamiliar area. He could see the Sprout Tower against the sky, however, so he knew vaguely where he was. Scanning his surroundings, Melrose soon spotted a girl some ways away. She was laughing with her little Charmander on her shoulders. A truly cute image that made Melrose smile in spite himself. At his side, Antauri was sniffing curiously in their direction, and Nova was pretending to be asleep on the luxray's back even though the pretty riolu's ears showed quite clearly she was listening to the girls laughter. Adopting an amiable smile, Melrose approached the girl and her pokemon, calling out a greeting to them. "Hey!" he said, in a friendly tone of voice. "Heading for the Sprout Tower as well?" OOC-Sorry it took me a while! Was gonna reply sooner... D;

Its okay>


-------------------


Lunakov continued to laugh as alexandric continued to make faces with her hair and his own face. Suddenly though he sniffed the air as a man was chasing his riolu; the man himself looked like the kind he normally growled at. Charming, good looking, and girlly boy; that is what he thought that they were half the time. Lunakov smirked she found it funny still that alexandric was still really protective over her around men; of course she figured it was cause he didn't want anyone to hurt her.

when the man walked towards them, Lunakov fell silent as her laughter stopped. Her red and blue eyes looked at the Riolu and then at the blonde haired man that seemed tall to her. Not sure if she should stand or keep walking; his voice said Hello but she didn't answer while studying him for a moment. "Your Riolu is adorable." Lunakov put on her famous smile that everyone knew too well, but behind her eyes if one knew here would be pain and sorrow still floating in her heart. His question about the sprout tower made her think for a moment. She had been thinking about it; her attention went back to it since she wanted to capture a Gastly or a Haunter. both are something that she really wanted since she was little, but forcing things out of her mind from her childhood left her to not think about what happened.

"I was. I would love a gastly, but we are both hungry and its not good to battle on an empty stomach." Lunakov replied with a smirk on her face. Charmander growled at him, but Lunakov gave him a look that stopped him from burning the man that stood before her. "Alexandric doesn't like mean. Especially the good looking ones. Alexandric don't you do it, or you go back in your pokeball." Lunakov told him; Alexandric hid hide head behind her hair with a frown on his face.

[atrb=background,http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g16/ForTheLuvaDIRT/Melrosetablemiddle2.png] Upon hearing its praise, the pretty little riolu opened its eyes and looked at the girl, pleased to see at least someone appreciated its beauty. Unlike Melrose, who dwelled only on its various misdeeds. Instead of agreeing that Nova was indeed adorable, however, Melrose just reached out and ruffled the pokemons fur. He would give the pokemon any more praise that it needed, but he would deny it any of the praise that came its way since the red-eyed pokemon was practically shining with joy at being called adorable. Its paws were clasped together and it was standing on tip-toe just so it could seem taller and even more adorable. Melrose looked at the chamander with an amused grin. "Well," he said jokingly. "At least he thinks me good looking. I suppose I can't blame him, however. He probably thinks some handsome fellow will come along and whisk you away from him." beside Melrose, the luxray rolled its eyes. Antauri wasn't terribly fond of the flirty smile its owner was adopting, wishing Melrose wasn't such a sucker for every pretty face that passed by. It seemed to Antauri that only it and it alone could keep Melrose from seriously making eyes at everyone, reminding the blonde to get a grip with a whip of its tail. Still, even Antauri couldn't quite blame Melrose in this case. The girls hair was indeed a beautiful shade, and her eyes, each a different color, were enough to make even the luxray's shield of ice melt a little. Even the girls accent was interesting. But no way would Antauri show its interest. Antauri was above that. Melrose, however, was not, and he stared at the girl with open curiosity, his blue eyes alight with wonder. Melrose had never seen anyone with differently colored eyes before, and so he was amazed. "My name's Melrose, by the way." he introduced himself. "And the riolu is Nova. The luxray is Antauri." the two pokemon dipped their heads in greeting as their names were spoken. "If you two haven't got anything to eat, I've got a few sandwiches in my pack, and I wouldn't mind sharing..." Nova looked upon the charmander curiously at that, wondering if it'd come out to eat and possibly be friends.

alexandric stared down at the pokemon, seeing that they are treated well by their trainer. Thinking for a moment, his growl still rose from his throat as a warning when the man named Melrose spoke. Lunakov gave him a look that made him hide behind her hair again, he hated that look it was one that made him think he did something really bad. The name though was one she never heard and the two pokemon with him were adorable to her different color eyes. Lunakov got down on one knee and put Alexandric down on the ground so that he could meet the pokemon and maybe ease up a bit.

"Sorry about him. Alex was sent to me from my brother after he was saved from poachers." Lunakov explained to Melrose. but she knew that good looking people can be cold hearted too; though looking at him she didn't feel like crush, he wasn't really her type. She lived in Goldenrod before and there were many jerks there. "Nice to meet you Nova, Antauri, and Melrose. My name is Lunakov Romanov. And this is my charmander Alexandric. I have an ekans too but he is sleeping right now." Lunakov smiled at them, it was curiousity in her mind. She wasn't really trusting of a lot of people so she kept information about her to a minimum. His smirk didn't bother her but it made her wonder what to do. "I doubt someone would come whisk me away. I'm not that pretty." She smirked as Alexandric walked over to the Luxray and the Riolu looking at them. Not sure what to say to them.

"I was hoping to grab a bite to eat at the pokemon center. But wouldn't they be closed at this time of night? I don't know if Alex or Ekans likes sandwiches...but you eat them they are yours. I don't want to take your food away from you." Her stomach growled a little but she ignored it, things like that didn't bother her. Keeping a sharp eye out for anything suspicious she wasn't sure what to do. Meeting someone is normally what people do on adventures but she never really stopped to talk to someone. "What do you know of the bell sprout tower? all I know is at night there are ghost pokemon." She stared at his blue eyes since she was taught to look people in the eyes when talking to them. He didn't seem cold when she looked at him, infact he seemed rather nice.

Alexandric looked at Lunakov and saw that she was trying to make friends, pushing his own annoyance with men aside he left Lunakov be talking to the man. though he wanted to burn the guy to a crisp. turning his charmander attention to the Luxray and the Riolu he thought for a moment. Waving a paw as though he is saying hello to them to be friendly. the scars over his back and tail as the one scar over his eye he hoped didn't make him look too scary to be ignored.
