Pokemon Codex

The shiny Chingling floated gently above the ground next to Luna and Blast. She gave them a quick nod, which was her own way of saying congrats, then turned to the notice board. It took her a moment, but when she found what she was looking for she smiled. While she smiled at the board, a loud bark came from the other side of the crowd. The Chingling turned towards the crowd, let out a soft tune and clapped her heads when a Poochyena pushed his way through the Pokémon. A silver, slightly blood stained, scarf covered his eyes.

"Well? Are we accepted?" The dog asked in a somewhat harsh voice. The Chingling rolled her eyes at the harshness in her friends voice, but pointed at the board and produced another soft tune. The dark hound flicked his eyes at the tune and smiled, "That's good to hear." He chuckled alittle as he sat next to his friend. The Poochyena's nose twitched and, without moving his head, spoke to Luna and Blast. "Seems like we're not the only one's who were accepted." He chuckled turning his body to face the Eevee and Squirtle. He bowed slightly, "Anyway, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Stavros and this," He flicked his tail in the Chingling's face, "Is my best friend and partner, Tama." The Chingling shot a glare at her dark hound friend, but quickly stepped up next to Stavros and smiled at the Eevee and Squirtle.

 

"Okay." Gloria said as she looked over her and Owen's application. She wanted to double check that everything was peachy perfect. Nothing was left unfilled and no silly little random doodles were on the clean paper. It was all in prime condition for submission. "Owen, Let's hurry and hand this in. I also would love to not be too late." She told her friend as he was sitting on the ground painting on a rock. "Owen?" She called to him.

Casually and calmly, Owen turned to his friend and sighed with a dreamy look on his face. "Hmm. . . I know. . . I'm coming." And with that, he slowly stood up and dusted his legs off. "Alright. . . Let's carry on then~" Owen started to walk behind Gloria. Unlike her, Owen was rather calm and oblivious to a lot of things. Most of the time, Owen was stuck in his own world, not caring what others were doing or saying. There was no need to rush after all. One step at a time was his motto. And he usually stuck with it.

Gloria was getting a bit antsy over the fact her friend was taking an eon to get going. His casual and laid back nature often drove her nuts. But the small Ralts knew to cope with it by being patient with him. After all, there was no need to rush a snail into anything. The snail will only go as fast as a snail could. And this Smeargle, was the snail.

Eventually they had handed in their paper and waited for the response. While the others were looking at the results, she had tried to see what the results were but she couldn't see over them due to her size. She could see the others also looking for their results too but she didn't engage into a conversation with them. She just wanted them to move out of the way so she can see it.

"Hey guys." The Smeargle lazily waved his hands to the others, greeting them first. After all, Gloria would not have spoken to them without first being confronted. She's much more shy than her friend was. "How are you all doing? I am doing really good." He figured to answer a possible question that could be fired at. "You know. Seeing all of this excitement makes me want to paint something fun. Like balloons floating in space with bright florescent lights making a sort of fun abstract."

"Owen! Can you tell me if you see our names on the list. Please?!" Gloria begged.

"My name is Owen. And this is my friend Gloria." He decided to introduce his team despite Gloria being antsy and begging him to look. "We're a creative team~"

"OWEN! PLEASE!" Gloria tried to speak up more excitedly.

"Woah. Chill out man." Owen looked over and nodded. "We got in, G-"

"YEAAAAAH!!!!! Daddy is going to be proud!" Gloria chimed as she bounced around Owen. Owen on the other hand had a goofy look on his face. He was happy but jumping around like Gloria, took too much effort.

 

Blast had mentioned to move their conversation to another area. Gloria wouldn't mind moving to a more quiet area. She too didn't like crowds that much, but for a different reason. Ralts were able to pick up on emotions and all that fun energy. And sometimes it overwhelmed her. It was part of the reason why she liked hanging out with her dad. When she got scared or confused about the current situation or events occurring, he could hide her. As for Owen, he didn't mind the crowd. Nothing ever bothered him. He was always so relaxed. A giant explosion destroying everything in its path, wouldn't even phase him.

So the small team nodded and followed Blast away from the crowd of people. Once they made it to a quieter area, Gloria looked back at the crowd then back to them. Owen had once again wandered his way over, slowly. He had no care in the world. In a way, Gloria was jealous of him. How could he be so carefree when there are a huge amount of emotions lingering in the air? But then again, she's sure that he couldn't feel the emotions like she could.

"A lot of people huh?" The Ralts finally said as she looked about the area they arrived in. "This place is really pretty~" She admitted.

The Smeargle looked about as well. He admired the placement of the pond and the flowers blooming in the garden. "Such an artistic area~" He said as he scratched his chin thoughtfully.

 

The Poochyena's ears twitched at the sudden gasps from the crowd. He rolled his eyes under the scarf, oh how he loathed those who were a gossip Taillow. Slightly listening to the Squirtle, Tama gave him a nod, but her attention quickly went to her partner when she heard his low growl. The Chingling placed her small hand on the dark types shoulder, but Stav shook it off as he turned to the crowd and produced a low, menacing growl, "Why don't you guys just shut your damn mouths?! I may be blind, but I can still f***ing hear you!" The hound spat, quieting the crowd.

Tama watched as the dark hounds pelt stood up and how he lowered himself into an attack position. The Chingling produced a shocked tune as she moved to stand in front of the hound. Stav ceased his growl when he smelled the soft pecha berry scent of his friend. Still in a fury, the hound pulled back from his position and turned his head toward the others. A sigh pasted through Tama's parted lips as she noticed the clear fury in her friends body language. Placing her small hand on his shoulder once again, the Chingling smiled as her calming tune made the hounds ears twitch.

Stav growled at Tama's touch, but sighed when he heard the tune. Shooting the crowd one last growl, Stavros followed the Squirtle without another word-- or growl. Tama giggled alittle as she pushed off the ground and floated slightly above the others, but she stopped to gawk at the sight of the Squirtle and Eevee's base. The shiny Chingling sucked in a breath and quicken her float when she saw the pond. Placing her feet on the ground without a single sound, Tama stared into her own reflection. She smiled as she waved at her reflection, then giggled like a little kid. Oh how she loved the ways of reflecting.

As Tama enjoyed her little moment with her reflection, she heard a chuckle from behind her. Turning on her heel, the Chingling huffed at the laughing hound. Stavros held his paw to his snout as he tried to hide his laughter. "This is a very nice place." The Poochyena said, once Tama had placed her hand on his head. The Chingling glared daggers at her friend, but he didn't seem to notice.

 

A Vulpix pushed through the crowd, green eyes narrow. She stayed quiet, but still looked at her partner. The Vulpix's tails curled with frustration. "Can't you see my aura, Light?" The Vulpix called, still pushing her way to the board. A Shinx jumped up, then landed.

"I'm sorry! I'm useless in crowds like this because of all the auras! Just meet me at the board, alright?" Light called, her light blue eyes narrow as well. The Vulpix rolled her eyes, then pushed the final Pokémon out of the way. Light pushed through and walked next to the board. The Vulpix's eyes widened, a smile lighting her face.

"We made it, Light!" The Vulpix called, turning to her partner. Light smiled to, and lifted a paw. The Vulpix lifted a paw too and they paw bumped.

"Sweet! That's nice, Amber!" Light replied, her eyes sparkling with success. Amber and Light hugged each other.

"We're Team Fox, after all! The strongest foxes in town!"
