<Ooooh...> Pikachu sniffled a little, but calmed down upon seeing that Starly was alright. <I don't think the ninja lady will be mad about us loosing. I think...> He headed back over to Rei's feet and looked up at her. <Ninja lady, you wouldn't throw us away if we lost a fight, would you?>
"I guess you're tired, huh? Well, I still haven't thought of a name for you, but you did a good job in that battle. Take a little rest," Rei clueless knelt down to pat him on the head before recalling him to his Pokeball. She then scooped up the still sniffling Eevee and put her back on her shoulder. "And you, you're just a sweet little thing. I couldn't name you Ebon or anything, he was a bit more of a scrapper, like Starly is. Maybe a gentler name. Maybe, Luna?"
<I guess...> she whimpered. Nervously, she nuzzled back into her trainer's neck.
"Hey, everything's alright," she stroked her ear gently. She then looked back at Starly. "Guess you'll put up with me after all, huh?"
Amused, she wandered back to town. It was noon before she got back into Central, handing over her Pikachu and Starly to be treated. She still wasn't certain what to name either of them, but Eevee seemed to have calmed down a lot since talking to Starly. Gathering her lights, she went home to pack.
After helping herself to a large lunch since she skipped breakfast, it was sometime past noon when she came back to pick up Starly and Pikachu. She let both of them out once again, this time putting Luna in her Pokeball to rest. She still had to name these two Pokemon.
People seemed to marvel at the Starly's feathers, and Rei herself found herself daydreaming about what she would look like fully evolved. And not only that, but what she would fight like. She already fought like a Staraptor would, she had a lot of guts and stamina for the pain of being shocked.
Then, she remembered that she had Varheit's phone number. Standing, she brought Starly and Pikachu with her as she went to one of the video phones. Picking up the receiver, she put in the digits and began to wait for him to answer.

BRING BRING, BRING BRING, Varheit's phone rang loudly into the darkness of his apartment, he strode over taking one last sip of scotch before answering. It was Rei, the sound of her voice made his spirit soar, glad to hear from the lovely young woman.
He had wondered when or if she would call, the previous evening had seemed like just a dream but the sound of her voice on the phone granted it all a sense of solidity. "Hey Rei, how's it going?"

"It's going awesome! I caught a Starly on the way back. She's beautiful. Eevee... er... I named her Luna. And Pikachu, I haven't named him yet, both freaked out when I caught her. They started to cry. It was very odd," she laughed softly. "Thanks again for last night's date, and for dropping my lights off. I'm actually at the Pokemon Center right now. How are you?" she blushed a little at her eagerness to talk to him.
She sounded as if she were a total ditz, she realized. It was as if she wanted to share everything with him, even the tiny things. She remembered how Bidoof had tried to climb up her leg to get at Pikachu, though she still wasn't certain why, and the little Rattata under his car, but she kept those to herself. After all, surly he didn't want to know -everything- that happened.

"Sounds like you had a nice walk, I came home, sat down, read a little bit, had a drink, the usual afternoon. It's great to hear from you." He smiled."You've got to introduce me to the starly you caught next time we meet." He was a bit relieved, she sounded as anxious to talk to him as he was to talk to her.
"So, when would you like to meet up next?" He asked, hoping posing the question so soon wasn't a breach of etiquette, god only knows he was already letting on how eager he was by how he was talking.

"I'm not sure, really," she admitted. "Whenever it isn't an inconvenience for you. I actually packed all of my stuff as if I were leaving today so I can get used to the weight. I haven't trained with a bag on my back for a while. Also, I'm sure Starly would like to meet you. I don't know if she likes me very much or not, but so far she hasn't pecked my face off," she chuckled, looking at the tiny bird perched on her shoulder.
"I might spend the rest of the day looking for some battles to raise their levels. I have a really solid team building up, so..." she trailed off. She just wished that he would be there, it was a bit lonely out there.

"Well, I'd love to see you tomorrow, I have some loose ends to tie up tonight at home, and some shopping to do, but yeah, how's, tomorrow afternoon around 5?" He said, mentally making a list of tasks ahead of him, he'd need to stop by the pokemon center for extra pokeballs, get food together for the trip, buy a gas can in case the car runs out of fuel in between cities, and of course get together some camping gear. "How does dinner out again sound? We could go get dinner at the bistro a few blocks from my place." He offered.

"Alright, I'll try to get some levels under my belt then. We could leave the day after so we have all day together?" she suggested. "I don't want to walk only a few miles out of town just to stop with Central still in view or something, hm?" she chuckled. Plus, she realized, she had to stop at the pharmecy and buy an advanced supply of more personal things. Letting out a sigh, she rubbed her hand over her flushed face, thankful that he was on voice only. "I'll meet you at the bistro then? I can't wait," she began to play with the phone's cord nerviously. What should she say? I love you, see you later? She shook her head slightly. Too soon.
"I'll wear something nice," she promised instead. Once they had said their farewells, she hung up the phone, only to have Starly peck at her cheek lightly. Rei laughed nerviously as she gathered Pikachu up in her arms.
"Don't look at me like that. I just like him a little," she tried to protest their odd looks. Neither gave any comment towards her after the fact. She simply took them both outside for a little battle training. If she could raise their levels a little, they would learn some more moves and become more versatile in battle. Especially Starly. She let out a sigh, remembering how the flying Pokemon had attacked Pikachu rather recklessly.
"No more fighting Electric Types for you for a while," she informed the Flying type. "Not until you get some better attacks to cope with them.
<I'm not complaining,> Starly remarked in a dry tone.
Perhaps a half an hour later, she made her way outside of the outskirts of town. She began to wander around, looking for Pokemon to battle.

"Alright." He said. "It's a date then." He hung up the phone with a sigh, he had completely failed to realize she wanted to walk."Just like the old days in Johto." He mumbled to himself as he unpacked the selection of suits, and other gear he had packed with the assumption they'd be driving."If nothing else I could use the excercise."
Changing out of his customary suits he exchanged the outfit that had been his uniform for some time with a pair of low cut shorts and a T-shirt, showing off his muscular physique and a scar on his shoulder that crisscrossed where he had been jumped by a Kabutops behind enemy lines."I hope chicks still dig scars." He said with a chuckle, and changed up his packing arrangements, transferring the contents of his suitcase to a backpack designed for beginning trainers."That should do it." Standing in the mirror he admired his new look, hoping it would be pleasing to Rei's eye as well as let him show off how well he'd taken care of himself since his days in the military.
After reorganizing his gear he released his pokemon from their balls and began drilling them on a set of hand signals he had developed that could be interpreted by his shadow when he wasn't immediately visible and his hand gestures when they faced towards him, he had used this tactic to catch a few trainers off guard in the past Rei among them, but without hours of exhaustive training a pokemon might misinterpret the signals. "Alright Dylan, now. Change into kate." He accompanied this action with a new hand signal he had come up with, a quick tap to the side of his leg with his hand angled to show the light of the sun through it. this training continued til late into the night, teaching the pokemon the keys to his unique command style.
Later as he lie in bed he found himself mysteriously free of the normal nightmares of his past suffering at the hands of the dragon slayers, and instead found himself dreaming of Rei. They were walking along a path, their pokemon released from their confinement and playing together, as the two of them held eachother, chatted and kissed. it wasn't much,but a moments glimpse of bliss in the depths of the dreamtime, but it instilled a sense of overwhelming joy in him that would follow him into the next day.

You walk around the area feeling a light breeze blow across your skin to counter the intense heat of the sun. The grass around you blows gently in the wind creating what appears to be an amazing dance that seems to try to mesmerize you into taking a relaxing break. Unfortunately you don't get the chance as a shadow crosses your path and you look up. A young man stands in front of you about 5 feet away. He has shoulder length black hair with pink, green, and red highlights running through it. He is abnormally pale although you can tell he uses black make-up on his face. He wears a long black trench coat, a black form fitting shirt, a pair of black pants held up by a black belt with a bright blood red skull on it and a pair of black hiking boots. His head is adorned with a black Fedora and his face seems to be covered in a million different piercings, more then any human should have the right to have. He grins and you can see teeth filed to a sharp point then he licks his lips with a tongue that seems to have almost as many piercings as his face. "Hello there young one, from the looks of you i would say your a trainer, care for a battle?" he asked and held out three poke balls to his side. "The only stipulation is that this is battle that wll require you to use all of your pokemon against me. Two on Two when one of my pokemon goes down you HAVE to switch out the pokemon that knocked it out and switch it for one of your others sound good?"

Rei squinted at the man for a minute, wondering if her eyes were playing tricks on her. After a moment, she reached a hand into her bag, fishing out her sunglasses. With a flick, she put them back into place, the wrinkles on her face smoothing out as her vision returned to normal. Starly tilted her head from one side to the other, while Pikachu ran forward happily, his tail held high in the air as he bounced forward. Coming to a stop between the two, he raised a paw at the strange man, waving happily.
<Hi!> he said happily. Rei lowered her gaze to her Pokemon, letting out a soft laugh.
"A two on two? Well, alright, then. Let's spice it up. If I win, I get your trench coat," she teased him. Shrugging her shoulder where Starly set, she nodded to the flying Pokemon.
<Looks like we're fighting,> Starly commented as she took flight. She glided down, landing easily next to Pikachu, who flicked his ears and gave Starly a baffled look.
<We are? How did that happen? Ooooh ninja lady must be having a ninja fight with him!> Pikachu concluded swiftly.
<I think we're the ones fighting,> she replied, raising a wing to point at the other trainer.
<Ooooh. We're going to be fighting a ninja man for ninja lady's honor! Let's do this!> Pikachu lowered himself onto all fours, letting out a small charge of excited sparks trail over his body.
<Watch it!> Starly hopped a few paces away from him.
<Oooh sorry.>

The man nodded with a wicked smile. "your on, two on one i win i get all but 5 of your marks, you win you get my coat," he said and tossed a ball into the air. "Come out Phear," he said and out popped a Scyther. It crossed its arms and looked at your two pokemon as if to say, "Is this really what im to face?" The man looked at you and smiled, "By the way, my names Jacob. Lets get this thing rolling. You go ahead and go first."

He was going to use that? On two of her Pokemon. She flipped out her Pokedex and gave a wince. Oh well, she would have to make due. For a start up, it was good for her side. Pikachu's Shock Wave would hurt like a bitch, and Starly could cover up to weaken its attacking power. The question would be if the brawling bird and the childish Pikachu could work together. Solo had already showed his worth in battle, though she knew she could call Starly back and simply send Solo out, but she doubted the bird would appreciate any favors.
"Pikachu, Shock Wave, Growl, Shock Wave. Starly, Growl, Quick Attack, Growl," she commanded.
<You's a biiig ninja!> Pikachu was staring at Scyther.
<We're fighting now, pay attention!> Starly shot Pikachu a red-eye'd glare before making her first move.
<Oh yeeeaaah!> Pikachu recalled, charging his electricity up. <Sorry, ninja Pokemon, but ninja lady probably wants us to win!> he shouted as he let out his first Shock Wave.
"And I'm Rei Kalari," she replied with a slow grin. No one seemed to recognize her as a commanding officer, but considering the situation in which she had been promoted, it was probably better this way.

Jacob smiled slightly, "Phear, Vaccuum Wave the Bird then Leer the Pikachu twice," Jacob ordered and Phear went into motion. It crossed its claws and slashed at starly, knocking it to the ground then turned his attention to pikachu. He sighed as the Shockwave hit him and did some major damage but was able to get off one of its Leer attacks. At this time both Pikachu and Starly let out their respective versions of growl. starly charged in as Phear was about to use his next leer and hit Phear right in the side sending its Leer off in the completely wrong direction. At this time Pikachu hit Phear with another Shockwave which did another pretty good set of damage. This round is turning out to be interesting but can your two pokemon hold out against something thats faster and more powerful then both of them?
Pikachu: HP 100% Energy: 91% Defense lowered slightly
Starly: HP 88% Energy 88%
Phear: HP 53% Energy 88% Attack lowerd three stages

"Repeat," Rei commanded, keeping her eye on the battle, though she couldn't help at grin slightly at Jacob in return. She had a plan on how to use these two to bring out the worst in Scyther, and the best in her own. After this turn, she would stop playing safe and go on the assault. Of course, who knocked this Pokemon out would determine who Solo would replace.
Starly: [ Growl // Quick Attack // Growl ]
Pikachu: [ Shock Wave // Growl // Shock Wave ]

Phear looked angrily at the two pokemon as Jacob called out, "Phear Vaccuum wave the Pikachu then Counter the Starly. After this Another Vaccuum Wave on the Pikachu." he called. Phear turned to pikachu who was just about to send out Shockwave and hit him with a rather painful Vaccuum wave sending him flying back and making him misfire the Shockwave. At this moment Starly had growled and was going in to quick attack and Phear prepared the Counter. As Starly hit Phear retaiated with counter sending the Starly flying backwards. He turned his attention to Pikachu, whom had taken this chance to use growl just as he released anotherr Shockwave. The wave hit him and left him badly damage but he still had a bit of life left and he charged in and used another Vaccuum wave on Pikachu. Starly used this turn for one last Growl
Pikachu: HP 87% Energy: 72% Defense lowered slightly
Starly: HP 74% Energy 76%
Phear: HP 17% Level 9 Energy 68% Attack lowered 6 stages
