Kind Of Makes You Wonder, Really. [Black]

[Maxwell Smith.]

Max gave a tired sigh as he began to slow down from his running slightly. It seemed that it had not been yesterday since he had gotten his new water type Pokemon from the lab, a starter none the less. And he was seemingly learning his lesson about it. This Pokemon, a female, by what teh Professor had told him, seemed to have too much energy on her hands. What made it much worse was that the black haired boy had decided to bring his Ghost type Pokemon over to try and see if the starter would settle down at all. Turned out, the two got along just fine, which made it worse for Maximum him self. The two decided to try and play a game of tag with their trainer that the boy did not want. And he thought Dusk knew him better!

"Dusk!" he called for his Pokemon in the mildly busy crowd. There were less people than there were yesterday, but there were still plenty of people around to make him loose his Pokemon trying to run from him by dashing around the people's feet, - or in Dusk's case, the people themselves, or just through them - making many angry. "Sprout! Gosh darn it, where the hell did they go?" The second part was murmured as the boy took off through the small crowd, murmuring "sorry's" and "excuse me's" to those that he ran into. His Pokemon could cause a lot of trouble, weather people knew it or not. Dusk was never normally good around people if they tried attacking or harming him, for the most part, and would literally hurt someone with his brute size. Plus, Sprout just loved blowing bubbles at people for some odd reason. Why, he would never know.

Meanwhile, outside the crowd, the two wondering Pokemon thought it would be comical to sit and watch their trainer yelling for them. Well, Sprout sat, to say the least. Dusk - the Ghost Type could only float and watch, his one eye showing that he might have been thinking that this wasn't a good idea. Sprout, on the other hand, had a huge grin on her face as she watched. Well, until she found yet another trainer as her next victim target play toy "little friend." As she got up, she gave a call for Dusk to follow before going and darting off towards the trainer. Dusk obidently followed after taking one last glance at the crowd. Sprout didn't seem to take a look as to what the person or the Pokemon that was with them looked like. She just paused a few feet away, gave a call to get their attention, and then blew a large array of bubbles, also known as Bubble Beam towards the unsuspecting trainer.

Black had just come from the lab. He gently holds his eevee who he has dubbed Edolin to his chest to comfort her. Being in this large crowd of people has got her shaking like a leaf, as she tries to bury herself further into her trainers/fathers red vest for protection. To make things ever worse is the trainers that keep popping up wanting to battle. Most of them left when he said no or go away, but a few more persistent ones didn't get the message until Black threated to beat the crap out of them. But one of the more stubborn one's still stuck around after that and is now nursing a broken arm for trying to grab him and make him battle. "Worthless fucking people, take a hint. I DON'T WANT TO BATTLE! LEAVE US ALONE!" he walks away from the crowd who is now trying there best to avoid him. Which suits him just fine, all he needs is his pokemon and he will be happy.

Now outside of the crowd he is slowly walking in the direction of the exit. Anyone who was to look now would see a dark scowl on his face. Meaning something bad has happened to him before. From the shaking of Edolin as she cuddles into Black's vest to avoid the other people, its obvious that same could be said for her. This would be what the two Pokemon belonging to max would stumble upon. The moment the bubbles hit him he turns and looks for the source. He felt no malice in those bubbles from his aura, so he knows it's only a pokemon who wants to play or get his attention. Once his eyes land on the two pokemon he gives a gentle smile at them. A complete turn around from what it was before. Though Edolin is still shaking like a leaf because of the other people around she still takes a chance to look at the two pokemon and give a small meak smile at them herself before she buries herself back into Black's vest. Black eye glow light blue for a moment as he looks the two pokemon over, using his Aura sight to lightly brush over them. And Black winces when his aura powers brush over the ghost type. He is giving off the same aura reading that both he and Edolin have. The one of someone having been abused at some point in there life. His eyes return to normal and he gives the Ghost type a sad look filled with understanding. A blue glow surrounds his body and the Ghost types. He is giving the pokemon a gift. Using his powers he gives the ghost type the ability to speak in the human language if he wants to. With that finished he smiles at them and waves before making his way for the first route.

The two Pokemon couldn't help but look at each other when the boy seemed to sought but do nothing. Spout was expecting for the trainer to at least be mad and try and chase after her or something, which was fun to her, but instead she felt something funky go over her none the less. Spout gave a worried look after the trainer before deciding to try and followthe boy with the small Eevee in his arms. She usually never gave up without a fight for recignition, to say the least. Dusk, on the other hand, floated where he had been, his hands together in a tight ball infront of his chest. His one eye seemed worried as to how the boy made something blue go over him. Was that strange, or not? The larger Pokemon was about to go ahead and follow his smaller friend, when a hand went on his shoulder.

"Dusk? Dusk!" the Pokemon began to freak out at the unknown preciance, and instantly swung his arm around at the attacker as he turned around to see of whom it was.

"Whaa!!" a familiar voice shouted, suprised as a figure lept down into a squatted postion, putting their arms over their head. Dusk looked down in time to see his trainer cowering slightly at the Pokemon's swing. If anyone were to challange Dusk at an arm wrestling contest, they would possibly loose unless they were, like the champions at it.

"Dusk!" the Ghost type said in apology as he went to help his trainer up from where he was on the ground, halfly fallen over by now. Max gave a grunt as he picked up his fallen hat after being helped up, before turning towards his Pokemon with a sigh.

"Well, at least you didn't try to run this time," Maximum congratulated to his Pokemon with a small smile. "Now where'd Spout go?" he asked, looking around curiously for the smaller Pokemon. Dusk merely pointed towards the direction where the water type had ran. Max almost panicing, realizing that she was possbily going after the next trainer that she was following behind, and instantly dashed after her. "Spout! Get back here, you little...." Max muttered as he managed to catch up to her before, right when she was about to blow another set of bubbles at the trainer, scooping her up in his arms. She resisted for a few moments as Max managed to try and apologize. "Sorry if she's disturbed you," he said with a pant to the leaving trainer, Max him self about to turn and leave him self. "She's rather awnry."

At this, Spout gave a happy call in her trainer's arms, as if actually agreeing with what he had just said. After a small warning look, she hushed down slightly, knowing that she was in big trouble for causing a little too much mayhem for the twelve year old boy.

Black keeps on walking, wondering if he should even answer this guy, whoever he is. "Whatever." Black mutters as he continues to move, loud enough for the guy to hear. Then he picks up his pace not wanting to be in the town any longer. Because the place is too crowded for him, that and it's keeping Edolin on edge too. Thinking someone is going to attack her from out of nowhere. She speaks up in perfect English, in hearing range of that kid and his pokemon. "Black, please can we leave? I don't like it here. To many humans." Black lets out a nod and he continues to walk further away from the crowd of people and in the direction of the first route. "Don't worry Edolin. We will be out of town soon, hopefully." As he says that he manages to make it to the outskirts of the town.

With people few and far between in this area, both Black and Edolin relax and begin to enjoy the walk, In fact now that there are no people around them, Edolin climbs up onto Black's shoulder and perches there with a happy look on her face. " You think we will run into any other pokemon out here? So close to that HUMAN town." Having no idea, Black shrugs his shoulders and continues to move forward.

Max blinked for a moment, staring at the boy as he left with his last word before shrugging and turning towards Dusk. Max muttered under his breath about some people, but hell, he learned to live with them none the less. That was why he was a gym leader's kid, right? They got along with almost everyone. Or put up with them to say the very least.

"Man, what's his problem?" Max managed to murmur as he stopped in front of Dusk, holding close to Spout. "He could have at least said that everything was okay or something like that, you know?" Max gave a slight chuckle, a slight smirk on his face as he looked down to the little water type in his arms.

"Really? I thought he was kind of nice. A little strange with that Eevee of his, but still nice."

Max jumped solemly when he heard the voice, and looked around confusingly to see where it had came from. He hadn't heard anyone approach him, and no one was really in ear shot of him, anyway. And anyone who was seemed to be ignoring him, or didn't even seem to notice him or the other boy in the first place. Max blinked in confusion as he tried to search for the source for another moment, Spout and Dusk looking at him confusingly.

"Something a matter, Max?" the voice said again, and if possible, a large sweat drop would have appeared on the boy's head as realization kicked in. Max blinkined, looking slowly towards his ghost type, who had a concerned look in his eye. "You okay?" the ghost type asked after the trainer had been staring at him for a moment.

"Erm, D-dusk?" the boy stuttered, taking a gulp. "A-are you talking to me, or a-am I just imagining things?" Dusk blinked an almost expressionless face towards his trainer. Wait, was he speaking human lanuage? Was that what the strange boy he just saw did to him?

"I, erm, I dunno," Dusk spoke, now seemingly more confused than his trainer now was. "Are you sure you aren't Phsycic." Slowly, Max nodded his head. Dusk blinked, rubbing the back of his head slightly. Okay, so maybe the other kid did do something to him. But before he could speak again, Max had already grabbed the Pokemon's other hand and began to try and pull him briskly towards where the other boy had gone.


"C'mon, let's just go where there aren't any people and talk about this," Max explained solemnly, holding tight to Spout so she wouldn't get away. And so, on they were to the next route, Max clutching firmly to the small water type with Dusk close behind, watching the other humans pass by wearily.
