"There's a time for all things I suppose, people fight because of pride, greed, morals, love, hate, basically humans can find any reason to fight anyone if they want to, I imagine it's similar with pokemon, they just can't tell us cause we don't speak the same language." He said, gently scratching behind the Rattatta's ears as he tried to feed it the strips of eel by hand. "When you get down to it though, everyone really just wants the same things, a warm place to sleep, food, shelter from the elements, love, no one is really that complex, the same fears in us are those that exist in all people at all times, it's only once we start to coplicate things that they really have the potential to go wrong." Varheit lowered his face to the Rattatta's and smiled, offering it another piece."These little ones probably smelled the food and thought they'd get a free meal, other folks might have been scared but we were nice enough to acknowledge their basic needs so for the time being, they're friends."

Delighted, Pikachu stopped chewing Rei's hair (the conditioner tasted bad anyway) and leaned against you. It was a very happy camper, small sparks of electricity flying off its tail as you rubbed its back. From its position far away, Ratatta could see that her friend was relaxing. She took the food from Varheit and chewed it thoughtfully. Then, stepping over the plate, she sat by Varheit's leg, trembling slightly. I suppose she was asking for cuddles, the same kind Pikachu was getting.

Slowly, she reached into her bag and fished around. Instead of a treat, however, Rei pulled out an empty Pokeball. She then showed the object to Pikachu before placing it on the ground in front of them. She offered the Pikachu a light hug before letting it go to explore the Pokeball for itself, wondering if he had ever seen one before. She was still very curious about if she could capture the Pokemon without battling him.
"It makes sense. I hadn't ever thought about it that way. Hey, little guy, ever seen a Pokeball before?"

"It makes alot of sense to me, pokemon have, very human tendencies and personality traits, I haven't met one yet that didn't at least make some sense in it's behavior, except for my old CO's gengar, that thing, had a screw loose, I caught him once picking apart an enemy corpse and eating it after the battlefield had been cleared." Varheit picked up the tiny Rattatta cautiously, careful not to aggravate it then set it in his lap, gently stroking it's fur as he offered it a sip of water. "You're a cute little Rattatta aren't you, I think, I'll call you Kate." He said as he scratched behind it's ears before continuing to pet it. "I think it likes me." He beamed. "Do you think we should try and see if.....oh hey you're one step ahead of me." Noticing Rei's placement of a pokeball in front of the pikachu Varheit cautiously let his free hand slip to the suitcase beside him, ready to undue the latch and grab a pokeball at a moment's notice if Rei was in need of help soon.

The Pikachu froze when it saw the Pokeball. It watched Rei's hand intently as she put it on the ground. Oh, yes. It knew what a Pokeball was. He hugged Rei back, still looking at the round device. Slowly, he crawled off of Rei's lap and sniffed at the Pokeball. It didn't budge. He poked it. It rolled slightly to the side, and he jumped. When nothing else happened, he poked it again and it rolled to the left. He stopped it with his tail. Looking over his shoulder at Rei, he batted he Pokeball toward her. It hit the side of her butt and rolled back toward him. He leaped at it and batted it away again. This time, it headed within Rei's reach.
Ratatta let herself be picked up, still shaking like leaf, and settled down in Verheit's lap. She slowly relax, letting the gentle petting help loosen her muscles. Thankfully, she was unaware of her friend's discovery; had she seen the Pokeball, she might have struggled.

(I bet you could Ninja a Pokeball out into the open, Ver, and catch it like that. xD)

Rei laughed softly as she watched Pikachu playing with it. He was really dexterous with that tail. It was something that she took mental note of as he rolled it back to her. Slowly, she pushed the Pokeball back to him, watching it roll across the ground. Red, white, red, white, the white capture button twirling along the side.
"That is one nasty story..." she made a face at him before giggling. "You should get out an empty Pokeball too and show it to Kate, maybe even catch her if you want."

"Seems like a good idea to me." Varheit smiled at the suggestion, if he and Rei remained friends these two wouldn't have to be seperated and the shock of being captured wouldn't be so great. At that thought he reached into the bag and gently stroked the Rattatta's fur one more time before showing it the red and white ball, offering it it's new home alongside the last of the eel. "Would you like to join me little one?" He asked, hoping the Rattatta wouldn't react badly to the site of the object while sitting in his lap then pressing the button on the ball and pointing it at the Rattatta.

Pikachu squealed happily and upped the pace, batting the Pokeball with its tail. To its surprise, the ball flew up in the air and headed right for Rei's face! Rei dissapeared into the ball in a flash of red light. The ball jiggled and, after a moment, Rei came bursting out of the ball in a flash of white light. Aww, almost had 'er!
Meanwhile, Ratatta tensed at the sight of the Pokeball. The presence of food, however, calmed her down. It was her favorite bit, too—the eel. She took the eel in her paws and nibbled it, looking at the Pokeball all the while. Finally, when she swallowed the last morsel of eel, she nudged the white button of the Pokeball with her nose. She was sucked in in an instant. The Pokeball rocked back and forth slightly three times, before it dinged, signifying that Kate was caught.

Rei... TURNED INTO A NINJA AND CAUGHT IT IN HER HAND! HYA! Well, ninja part asside, at least she didn't turn into a Pokemon that got caught. That would be rather awkward for everyone involved. Not to mention she wouldn't be able to kiss Varheit good night without questions of morality being raised. She held the Pokeball, turning it so that the button was pointed towards Pikachu. After spending so much time with him, she felt like just touching the ball to him without saying anything would be rude.
"Would you like to come with me, Pikachu?" she inquired.

Varheit stood and stretched, the long period of sitting and entertaining his new found friend had brought a stiffness to his joints and he cautiously sat back down and observed Rei with her pikachu, mentally noting that he now considered it to be hers even though she had yet to catch it. Lazily he picked through the remains of his dinner he had held back from the Rattatta and munched away, watching intently. "You can do it Rei." He whispered under his breath, hoping that the time spent with the electric mouse might help heal her old wounds.

Pikachu sat on his haunches and opened his eyes wide. If he was a little kid, he'd be going, "woah! Awesome! Awesome! Did you see that? Did you see how she caught it! That was sooo awesome!" etc. Now thoroughly convinced, he ran up to the Pokeball and slapped the white button with his paw. The ball didn't even wiggle before it dinged. He was happy to be the Pokemon of someone so awesome.
You'd better keep it up, guys. You set some high expectations.

Rei laughed at the whole ordeal, clipping Pikachu's Pokeball next to Eevee's. Drained from the excitement, she stole a dragon roll from Varheit, popping it into her mouth. Judging by her experssion, she had never eaten one before, and wasn't exactly certain what to make of the flavors and texture. When she swallowed it, she laughed again, lying down so the food was between them now, not knowing her black shirt had slid up during the movement, revealing a thin trace of her toned stomach.
"Now that wasn't something I had been expecting," she commented, resuming to eat her cooled food and slightly warm sushi. "Two great catches in one day. Well, three if you count not getting hit in the face with my own Pokeball."

"I made three myself today, it's been great." Winks and lays back on the grass to look at the stars. "Everytime I look up at the sky I feel small, but it's not a bad thing, the billions of possibilities each of us hold is but a fraction of a still greater whole, and everything we know is but a speck of dust in this great big universe." He said popping another dragon roll into his mouth and chewing it before continuing. "I like it out here, the smell, the fresh air, the calm and quiet, Where did you grow up Rei, What was it like?"
Varheit turned to look at her, a bit of a shimmer in his eyes from gazing at the stars."Thank you for showing me that there are still people who care about their pokemon in the military Rei, Gives me a little bit of faith in them that I lost when the Dragon Slayers took control."

"It seems like a lifetime ago. I don't know when the last time was that I looked up at the stars," she remarked, lifting her chin skyward. Her memories of back then were hazy, something she hadn't even realized until then. "I think I forgot," she shrugged a little.
"I wasn't around before the Dragon Slayers were in the military, so having them around just seemed normal to me. I didn't learn about what they had done as a separate faction until a few years ago, since it just seemed to me that "Dragon Slayer" was just another title in the military, or a name for someone with a certain mindset. They called me one eventually, and I'm still not even certain if it's an insult or not.
They gave me Ebon, and Solo. The Dragon Slayers. They have their own inner network of people who handle those Pokemon. It was probably them who arranged the Pokemon given away at the raffle as well. I don't know why, so don't ask me," she offered him an apologetic smile. "For how evil they are, they are also cunning, but not a kind of people I rub elbows with often. At least not without leaving bruises on them."

"I know what you mean, Those dragon slayers are a disgrace. I had considered for some time joining the resistance and trying to take them down for the sake of reform.." He left the comment trailing, wondering if he was giving away too much to this woman he had just met. "Hey, come here for a second. I wanted to show you something." He beckoned her over to an old suspended bench on the porch that was still in remarkable shape compared to the rest of the building and sat down in it."I still like to sit in this thing to center myself believe it or not, plus one of the holes in the roof that you can see from it shows straight up to the sky." He beckoned for her to sit, blushing lightly as he took a sip from the flask of water he'd brought.
