Rome laughed then turned after lightly tapping Venice, <you're it,> he grinned then ran off. Venice immediately started after Shade again, running as fast as her legs could carry her towards the Luxray.

"Yeah, I think I'll challenge each league after I get all the badges.

Anubis sat down cross-legged next to the shiny ninetales, <What's your name?>

Shade ran, purposely running past Rome.

"I don't like to draw attention to myself so I usually skip the Elite Four." Shock had fallen asleep on his back.

<My name is Willow. What is your name?>

Roem skidded to a quick stop then shot off the other direction and cleared Archur's lap, making the boy fall onto his back due to being startled.
He laughed and dusted himself off as he sat up again, "I think the only member of my team who would like the attention is Jacques," he jabbed a thumb at the zebstrika who gave an indignant whinny and looked away.

<Anubis, I already said that, didn't I?> he rubbed the back of his head with one hand, smiling a bit bashfully.

Shira smiled and watched Shade trip on a tree root. She started laughing.

<Oh. Sorry. I sometimes forget.> Willow smiled.

<You're it,> came Venice's voice and she tapped the pad of Shade's hindpaw before scampering away.

Archur giggled a bit, "It's fun to watch. It seems whatever Forli did worked."

<It's quite alright,> Anubis smiled up at her, <So, Willow, where are you from? Before you got captured? Or were you raised by humans?>

Shade got up and shook himself, getting rid of the bits of grass.

"You telling me." Shock climbed into Shira's lap and curled up, yawning.

<I'm from Johto. What about you?>

Rome and Venice were several feet behind him.
<Guess cats don't always land on their feet,> Rome taunted with a playful smirk.

He nodded then reached over and pet Shock a bit, "Well, while we're here, what do you want to do?"

<Raised in a daycare,> he shrugged. <It wasn't bad. I'm glad Archur chose me though.>

<I heard that.> Shade darted over and tagged Rome.

"I was just hoping to train my Pokemon a bit." Shock smiled.

<Shira never took us to a daycare. She always trained us by herself.>

He let out a startled yelp then chased after Shade as Venice darted away too.

"Alright. I like that idea."

<Neither does Archur I was born in a real daycare. My egg was found on the doorstep as far as I was told and I was taken care of there, not trained. Archur came by one day and adopted me.>

Shade laughed as he ran away. He nearly ran into Solar. Solar stood up.

"I guess. I'm hoping to get Shock strong enough so he won't faint when using Volt Tackle."

<Well better him than a trainer who abuses you.>

Venice and Rome split ways, running opposite directions from Shade.

"That would be a good idea," Archur smirked and stood.

Anubis flinched, <Did that happen to you?>

Solar huffed before walking away. Shade frowned.

Shira picked up Shock and stood up as well.

<No. I was just bullied a lot by other wild Pokemon.>

Venice peeled away and ran back to Solar, pouncing on him, <Play with us!> she giggled.

"So, should we battle then?" he asked.

<Oh... I'm sorry to hear that,> Anubis frowned sadly, <Why were you made fun of?>

Solar looked at Venice, her ears twitching.< You sure? I'm pretty fast.>

"Battle?" Shira thought about it." Okay." Shock smiled.

<Because I was a different color than the others.>

<Yeah! The more the merrier!> the younger zorua smiled brightly then jumped off of Solar and scampered away, calling back <Shade is it!>

"I think we should probably get our pokemon back for the time being then. They can play afterwards. Or do you want to just fight with whoever we have at hand?"

<You were made fun of for that?> Anubis looked flabbergasted, <But! You're beautiful!>

Shade ran after Rome, knowing he couldn't keep up with Solar.

"They look like thier having a lot of fun." Shira looked down at Shock." Shock, Terra and Char will be on my team."

<Because some Pokemon find it strange that others are different and they feel jealous or they find it fun.> Willow looked at him.

The considerably smaller pokemon easily weaved in and out of tighter spots than Shade could possibly hope to fit.

"Alright. I'll use Forli, Nicholai and Jacques."

<But... It's entirely unnecessary... I feel like you should be praised for it... You look different... You loo more beautiful than any pokemon I've seen in a long time. I don't understand why someone would ever want to ruin a chance with you by bullying you," he looked sincerely confused.

Shade was a tiny bit faster so he caught up with Rome and just barely missed him, successfully tagging Rome.

Shira smiled." Well this is going to be interesting."

Willow blushed.< Well your more polite than other wild Pokemon.>

Rome grunted a bit as he was tagged then turned around and started running. He accidentally rammed right into Solar's side, having not been paying attention then whimpered a bit, <I-I'm sorry! Are you okay?>

(So, shall we use dice rolls and stuff)

Anubis blushed a bit, <Thank you. I try.>

Solar got up and shook herself.< I'm alright. I'm tougher than I look.>

(I was going to say DS battle but I don't think we'll connect and I don't have a Venusaur so sure.)

<And your doing a very good jod at that.> Willow said, smiling.
