((Skip please.))

(OoC: Skip please. I have nothing good and short of time.)

[Ooc: Skip, I'm tired, and I don't want to be the one always putting down the action xD;;]

Anger swelled in Rakuen's eyes as the Wartortle readied an attack at him. Jumping into the air, Rakuen's wings again began to glow and he flew down quickly and sliced half of the Wartortle's head off. Jumping back into the air, he began to ready another attack but strange energy pushed him through the sky and when he opened his eyes, he was somewhere over the Region of Orre. Not knowing what happened or where he was, Rakuen began his trek to find other living.

(OOC: By everyone! He's gonna be a dual profile now with Aryea in Orre. It was fun while it lasted(: )

Chex looked around, on the other side of the boat and not noticing the fight. She flew over to Ruffles, who had just finished killing a Wartortle. Chex was taken aback that she had just missed a fight. Ruffles turned to her.

"Chex! Pay attention! Ruffles will be sad if Chex disappears!"

Chex grinned. "Don't worry, I'm not leaving!" she chirped prettily, looking at the newly bloodied bird. Chex looked around then, seeing the Zoroark come up to Ruffles.

"TAG YOU'RE IT!"

Chex jumped in surprise. "Tag?" The Swellow suddenly grinned. "Why not?~" Chex had been too stunned to see where Tiana went. Chex chuckled, flapping her wings as she stayed on the path of the deck. She called back to Ruffles. "C'mon Ruffles!" Chex giggled, flying to the other side of the boat to try to find Tiana.

-----

(OoC: You, Scarlett, are a genius. TAG IS THE ANSWER YES. B3 lol)

Ruffles was haappy that Chex had responded with a happy trill. "Don't worry, I'm not leaving!" That made the Braviary beam happily, holding his head up higher. Of course not! Ruffles would never lose these friens, not anymore! The giant avian was almost ashamed that he had thoughts of putting them all into his great belly when he first met them. Ruffles couldn't do that now! He liked Chex too much! Che was a very pretty bird! He nodded to the Swellow, throwing his head back and then down in such a dramatic manner it was almost comicle. But the Unovian Pokemon was not awear of that, giving Chex a wide grin.

But he was distracted. Ruffled gave a gasp of awe as he watched Rakuen taking on more of the undead. Ruffles gave a loud gasp. "Ruffles thought Ruffles got them all!" The undead swirved ungracefully, preparing to open his great wings to take flight. Ruffles had to protect the pretty bird! Ruffles wanted to be friends with all the pretty birds! But he never had his chance. Just as the shiny Pokemon took to the air, suddenly the other large bird was up high in the air. Ruffles watched with wide red eyes. Ruffles never saw someone move that fast! But then something even weairder happened. The undead allowed his claws to click loudly as he landed back onto the deck. He watched Rakuen with wide, wonderous eyes, tilting his head slightly in a child like way.

Then suddenly there was a flash of light and he was gone.

Ruffles' beak fell right open, his eyes nearly boggling from his head. Ruffles never saw THAT before! He had never seen ANYONE just poof! The giant bird was suddenly in shock, very unsudre of himself. With an almost hurt expression he turned to face the pretty bird Chex. "Ruffles saw something. Ruffles saw pretty bird poof," he almost nearly whinned in his hurt tone. He regaurded her with very unsure eyes. But Ruffles never got a response as he suddenly felt a touch on one wing. "TAG YOU'RE IT!"

Ruffles gave a slight whine to show his disappointment as Chex perked up. "Tag? Why not?" The Swellow immediately took to the air, clearly loving the idea f the game. But Ruffles was still unsure. He glanced over his shoulder several times, his eyes searching the place where Rakuen had poofed. "C'mon Ruffles!" Chex giggled happily, soaring away. Ruffles relutcantly took to the air, more than easily catching up to the small bird. He looked at her seriously. "Chex won't poof like pretty bird, will she?" he asked her, his gaze unwavering. "Ruffles would be very sad."

(Skip please)

Ruffles was flying with pretty birdy Chex, still awaiting her reply. His heart would have been beating painfully within his cheat had it still been... Well, beating. His anxious eyes kept flickering to the Swellow, but still no response. Maybe she had not heard him...? It made the Braviary feel even worse and he threatened to crumple up from sarrow. Did that mean that she really was planning on leaving him? The colorful bird had poofed, now Chex was planning to poof. But Ruffles did not know how to poof. Maybe it was a pretty birdy thing? The massive avian could come up with nothing else to explain it. He just kept looking for Tiana- she had invited him to play first anyway! His red gaze suddenly brighter and a calmer joy rising back within him, the Unovian bird circled high, still unable to see the green Zoroark.

But then there was a sudden pain within his gut. Ruffles let out a loud gasp, haulting midair. Hovering high above the ship, he blinked. The Braviary stared down at his bloodied stomach, eyes wide. The pain came again but that time recognition came across his face. Ruffles let out a loud laugh, giggling at how silly he was. "Oh! Ruffles is hungry! Ruffles has not eaten all day!" He turned to grin at the others, calling to where Chex was. "Ruffles will be right back! Ruffles is hungry and Ruffles does not wanna eat new friends!"  Without awaiting a response, the huge bird of prey dove back down. He bypassed the ship altogether, heading instead for the sea. He circled around the ship for a few minutes, the undead's stomach grumbling more and more as he looked for a snack.

He was not disappointed. 

The Braviary's face lit up, seeing something swimming on the surphase of the water. He shot forward, the seemingly harmless giant going into the mindset of a killer. Crimson eyes gleamed, an otherworldly hunger making his beak open greedily. Ruffles was upon the unsuspecting Pokemon in seconds. There was a flash of blue and cherry red as he dove his claws down, snatching up the Totodile up into his claws. There small reptile cried out in horror as he was thrown into the air. Ruffles merely opened his beak wide, catching the little croc in his mouth and swollowing him whole. The avian licked his beak, feeling the primevil urges subsiding as his gut digested the meal. With new blood on his massive claws, Ruffles headed back to the boat while humming a tune only heard in his head.

"Oohh my wings.... My poor wings.... I have to land there's--There's just got to be somewhere I can land! Please...." Archie looked down at the sea below him and saw the same school of strange shark Pokemon swimming eagerly after him. They wreaked of the scent of the infected and every time he lost altitude, one would leap up and try to grab him out of the air.

He had been flying for almost 4 days straight, no food, no water, and fatigue was getting the best of him. He started to loose altitude once again and his eyes began to droop. Something in the distance shot them open. A ship. A ship! He was going to live!

A new strength surged through him and he flapped his wings desperately to keep himself up long enough to get over the boat. He found an open window, flew in and collapsed onto the floor, crying and laughing with sheer
joy.

"I'M ALIVE! AHAHAH! Oh I thought for sure I was dead.... Oh thank Arceus...."

Once he had composed himself, he stood up and walked out of the room. Not even ten seconds out, and he spotted.... A very oddly-colored Zoroark walking through the corridors. He didn't even care if it was hostile, he flapped his wings and chirped for attention.

"E-Excuse me! Excuse me, um.... Would you help me out please?"

Venonat blinked his big eyes. No one was even paying attention to the poor bug. He clicked his mandibles together and simply watched. The undead had vanished and the other pokemon were gone. He was all alone again. He clenched the medallion in his stubby arms and slowly rocked his body back and forth. Then he heard something. He turned and found a living Kadabra watching him.

Hello little Venonat. Why are you so sad? Veno blinked his big red eyes at the living in front of him. The psychic type nodded as if reading his mind. I see. You've been through alot little one. If it'll help, I can can't you to another place. A place where you will have better friends. That is, if you want to leave these pokemon. Venonat looked at the Kadabra with a questioning look, but then looked at the surrounding area.

He could hear the other pokemon laughing and chasing each other, but all he was doing was talking to a new living. He really looked heartbroken, but he turned to the Kadabra and nodded as he held on to the medallion. The psychic type nodded sadly and looked around the area one last time. Alright then. Anything you want to leave for these pokemon before we leave? Veno thought for a moment, then nodded. Alright, then i'll wait for you.

Venonat nodded as he got to his feet. He went back over to where he first met Ruffles and stuck his paw in the royal blue paint and started to scribble on the wood. To my new friends, I'm sorry to say but i'm leaving. I may came back one day, but I have no reason to stay here, but i'd like Ruffles to keep my medallion I found. I'm sorry for leaving,
Venonat. The bug tilted his head then added something to the message. AKA Fluffy. The he placed the medallion next to the message and nodded at the Kadabra and he nodded back. Alright then. Let us be off. And with that the two pokemon vanished into a pink light as they headed for a new destination.

(Alright, well Veno's going to Safari. Nice rping with you guys.)

Chex saw the huge eagle pokemon fly up next to her. He spoke to her.

"Chex won't poof like pretty bird, will she? Ruffles would be very sad."

"Of course I won't Ruffles." she gave him a sincere look, but then suddenly he flew off. "W--Wait! Did she say something wrong? He looked to his stomach while he circled the air above the ship. She started to fly up to try to catch the huge bird.

"Oh! Ruffles is hungry! Ruffles has not eaten all day! Ruffles will be right back! Ruffles is hungry and Ruffles does not wanna eat new friends!"

Eat... new friends? Chex's eyes went wide for a moment. "Well he is a... zombie thing.... But... he's really nice.... He's just a big lovable eagle." Chex smiled to herself, but then looked to Tiana, who had just run into the ship and she saw Ruffles dive into the water to catch something. She didn't want to know what Ruffles was eating. She slightly shuddered, diving for the room where Tiana had just walked in. She then saw as a little grey bird started to tumble from the sky. She barely heard it mumble.

"Oohh my wings.... My poor wings.... I have to land there's--There's just got to be somewhere I can land! Please...."

Chex wanted to dive to help the bird, but then all of a sudden, it flew below her and through the window of the ship. She dove towards the window, right above it when it yelled in triumph.

"I'M ALIVE! AHAHAH! Oh I thought for sure I was dead.... Oh thank Arceus...."

Chex sighed with relief, then flying right to the windowsill and sitting. It walked out into the hall.

"E-Excuse me! Excuse me, um.... Would you help me out please?"

It sounded male. Chex saw Tiana in the hall, so he was safe for the moment. Chex looked back to look for Ruffles, who she saw flying back from eating. She waved a wing at him.

((OOC: I dunno how Evolution works here, but HERE WE GO.))

(OoC: Skip because Ruffles and Chex have not yet been combined lulz. I wanna post with them combined.
And Seren skipped me. lol)

((OOC: I posted because according to the Team sheet, it was my turn... So sorry! ^^; ))

How were they going to get out of a ship without drowning in the endless see? Sebastian didn't know the answer. A vein popped on his young master's head, his eyes constantly twitching at the sky. Just earlier had a giant bird come flying towards them, grabbing them both and ended up dropping them in an Abandoned ship. It looked regal, formal, it was sophisticated, yet now in ruins. It amazed Sebastian how it was still standing. Humans and their technology, they have greatly improved over the years no? Nonetheless the Houndoom suppressed a sigh, scanning the area with his eyes. Perhaps the only way out was to somehow find a bird strong enough to hold them all?... Improbable. Most Pokemon Ciel and Sebastian have come across have been undead or just a simple corpse. The Dark Pokemon waltz over to Ciel, his breath amazingly cool despite being a Fire-type, "Perhaps we shall explore the area my lord?"

Ciel stopped twitching, but his eyes still giving a cold icy glare as he moved it from the sky to the servant. "What good do you think that'll bring us?" He huffed, his feet tapping against the floorboards. Sebastian narrowed his eyes, but gave a sly grin, "We may fine clues in this ship, it's possible. We may also find survivors no?" The Bug Pokemon rose his brow at this, "True, but if we haven't spotted survivors in several cities. You expect us to find some on an abandoned ship?" Ciel waved his small claws, dismissing it, "But fine, let's go."

"As you wish young master," Sebastian bowed, he lead Ciel over to the archway that lead to the lower deck, the Venonat taking the first steps down. The lamps that hung along the side of the mahogany walls were faintly lit, cob webs and dust cover it. The red carpet that covered the floor was ripped here and there along the sides. Nonetheless, rather good condition for a place that's been abandoned for who-knows-how-long. "Sebastian..." Ciel began, as he gazed his surroundings, "You check that room, I'll check over here in case some undea-"

"You lot stay back, STAY BACK! I MEAN IT! I've got a... Very sharp, pointy object, and I am NOT afraid to-- well, actually, I'm terrified right now. BUT I WILL HURT YOU! Probably. If you don't kill me first." What. In. The. Name. Of. The. Devil. Is. That. Sebastian thought wide-eyed as he tore his eyes off his master and towards the source. It was just behind the corner from where they were, and it sounded like some young child was getting attacked by Undead. The Houndoom grabbed Ciel by the scruff [whom shouted curses at Sebastian for such sudden actions] as he raced down the hall, skidding to a halt as a bright flash of white light covered his eyes. The Houndoom turned away from it, slowly looking back as he felt the brightness fade. It was only that in front of them was bird that was from the unknown. Was it from Unova? It was the only region that Ciel and Sebastian have yet to explore.

"Please.... I-If you're going to kill me..... Don't make it last.... And eat me afterwards so I don't become undead..... But if you're not, please just.... Leave me alone...." The bird was speaking to another figure, one that was right in front of the bird and whom Sebastian and Ciel couldn't tell what it was either, another Unovian? This one seemed off though, neon lights covered the Pokemon, are Undead into fashion now? Ciel smirked at the idea, but immediately dismissed it, the thought of seeing blood right in front of him was going to make him puke. The Venonat attempted to release Sebastian's grips on him, but failed as the Houndoom snarled, "Be patient young master, this Pokemon doesn't appear to have an open wounds. The stench of blood is not coming from there." "Then where is it coming fro-?!" Ciel was cut off as Sebastian dropped him, the Houndoom making his way out of the corner [as the Shiny Pokemon growled and mumbled to himself on how much that hurts] and appearing before the other Pokemon, "If I may ask, what is going on here?" His tone was polite... or rather amused, in Ciel's eyes. It couldn't be... that Sebastian wanted to play around with them? He couldn't, he's under the Venonat's command, perhaps he as just going to swipe some information off of them? Ciel honestly doesn't know what goes on through that damn dog's head.

Chex saw the bird about to get attacked by Tiana. Suddenly there was a light, the Pidove evolving. Chex flew into the window, hurriedly rushing forward. She landed on the ground next to the other bird.
"Tiana, are you alright?" the Swellow asked, seeing the wild look in her eyes. She wasn't going to let either of these pokemon get hurt.

-----
(OoC: Posted cuz I had to. |c Bluh tireddd....)

Sebastian felt himself pout on the inside as the bird ignored him, turning around and heading down the hallway. He was rather... timid, plucking his chest feathers that were covered with blood. It amused the Houndoom, what a strange bird wallowing in self-pity. He turned his attention towards the Swellow and the neon-colored Pokemon, "Tiana, are you alright?" the Hoenn Pokemon asked the Unovian, sounding worried. She must be the mother of the group. Tiana must be the name of the neon-colored Pokemon. The Dark Pokemon bowed at the Swellow despite her not technically looking in his direction, "Hello mistress," The Houndoom began, his words like honey, "Could you please tell us what is going on?"

The Venonat felt disgust come about as he watched his servant bow to the Swellow and 'Tiana'. Sebastian's ways of sucking up made Ciel want to point and laugh at the servant for going such ways and possibly slap him for being such an embarrassment. But then again, it brings them greater good as they profit from the information they receive. Hopefully Sebastian may convince them to aid them in their escape. Remembering the map of Hoenn region, they should be near Mossdeep city... or was it Dewford and Slateport? Ciel felt cursed mildly at himself, Hoenn, you and your motherfucking boats that are practically scattered everywhere. Nonetheless, this ship was near a city, and as long as there's land, there's bound to be food.

Clearing his throat, Ciel got out from the corner and revealed himself, "Sebastian, how rude, at least give an introduction," The Venonat gazed at the Swellow, odd she is. The edges of her feathers were blanketed with light blue paint, was she trying to make herself a different color? He shook that off nodding, "I'm Ciel, and the Houndoom is Sebastian, a pleasure to meet you."

The Houndoom scrunched up his nose as his master appeared from the corner, already making a fool out of Sebastian. Well that brat young master does like to make a fool out of everyone anyways, not like it mattered... Then again, the Dark Pokemon is attempting to squeeze some information out of them while his master already made a bad impression of him. 'Nice way of getting us out of this situation young master' He thought rolling his eyes. Though the Bug Pokemon caught him and gave an icy glare, Sebastian just shrugging it off.

(Yes, she went nuts. Why? Because I have no idea what else to post)

Before the Swellow could reply, Tiana [aka, the neon-colored Pokemon] snarled, cracking her neck. The Houndoom protectively put himself in front of the Venonat with a hardened stare, watching the neon-colored Pokemon use a sickeningly strong Hidden Power on the other bird from earlier. What came from the bird was stronger than expected as a screech filled the halls, Sebastian's ears felt like they were bleeding [surprisingly enough, it's not]. He glanced over at the young Bug Pokemon, whom was easily tuning it out. Oh how this brat gets on Sebastian's nerves with his bug powers smart his young master is. As long as he can protect himself, things seemed to be fine.

Ciel -- on the other hand -- had a bored look on his face as the bird screeched and dove into the hole in the floorboards. How predic- wait... Is that... laughing? Awestruck and shock came to Sebastian's and Ciel's faces, this bird was mad. Hell, he is mad. Laughing at death? He must be asking for a death wish. The Houndoom cleared his throat, the Bug Pokemon turning his attention at his servant as he saw a glint in his eyes; 'Let me deal with this young master'. Ciel felt the edge of his lips curl into a smile, waving his paw that signaled the Dark Pokemon to do his job.

He had his lord's approval, the Fire/Dark duel-type tapped the Neon Pokemon's shoulder as he cleared his throat, bowing his head politely at Tiana, "Excuse me mistress, but you'll have to retire for the rest of the evening," with that said, the Houndoom smacked the Zoroark right in the back of the neck where the pressure point was, stunning the neon-colored Pokemon, of course he was tired of dealing with madmen nowadays, the best thing to do is be calm in such a situation. He stared down the hole, watching the bird laugh at himself. Sebastian gave a polite smile and a bow like he usually does, but his words had several hints of irritation, "Sir, do return back up here for an appropriate chat instead off giggling like a madman."

Well nice way to deal with the situation Sebastian, the Venonat rose a brow at the Swellow nearby, "You're strangely quiet in such a situation," the Bug Pokemon suppressed a sigh, shrugging, "Oh well, so am I."
