Cuburt looked at the Cuburt arrived at the Pokémon center anticlimacticly. The nurse should remember him since he was just there an hour ago. He rang the bell then sat down with the puff ball. "Where'd you come from anyway little Pokémon?" Cuburt halfed expected her to answer, but all she did was stare. |

(After reffing Shadow a few times, I can attest that Igglybuff are evil) The Igglybuff seemed to rather enjoy your attention. "Iggly..." she cooed, snuggling against your chest. Either she was used to being babied and carried like this, or else she had a major crush on you. I'd be much inclined to believe the former statement. After all, she was much too young to show that sign of attachment...She only had affection for you as a trainer. As you entered the Center, Igglybuff gave a small burp and fell asleep; she hadn't heard your question at all. All the same, you possibly wouldn't have been able to understand her anyway. Few Pokémon can successfully speak the English language, and usually those said Pokémon are very gifted. Either way, most humans couldn't understand what Pokémon were saying. It was a one-way barrier in the fact that Pokémon could understand more than one language despite their age. The Center wasn't very busy, and Nurse Joy was able to come to your aid right away. "May I help you?" she asked with her normal sweet smile lighting up her features. Before you could answer, however, a short and rather aged butler waddled in, butted in front of you (hey, you were "riff-raff" to him), and immediately began talking to Nurse Joy. "Pardon me for barging in miss," he began hurriedly, not even paying you any regard. "But my master's young daughter lost her Igglybuff yesterday. I must say that she's really distraught, and that if you catch any wind of a young Igglybuff out on the street, please contact me immediately." As he said that last sentence, he scrawled a phone number down on a small slip of paper and gave it to the bewildered Nurse. Obviously this guy was rather busy (and ignorant) by not having noticed what you were holding by now. Really, was he that blind? He's about to go out the door, so you may want to catch his attention before it's too late. |

Cuburt could have sworn his eyes turned into money signs. His prayers were answered, money is on its way. Cuburt tapped the man on his shoulder after signaling to Nurse Joy that his problem was solved. "Excuse me Mr. is this the Pokémon you were talking about." Cuburt gently lifted the Igglybuff from his bosom (yeah I said it). He put the Igglybuff as close to the btler as he could that way he could inspect her better. The man was old and half-blind it seemed. "This is the Igglybuff right? I found her on the street. She seems well taken care of." |

The old man swung around to face you, staring at you with these creepy, glassy eyes. He didn't even seem to move them or blink, just coldly glaring at you. He finally sneered, "Don't mock me, boy. My master is going to have a fit if that Igglybuff isn't returned soon." You must have been gaping, as you were holding the said Igglybuff right in front of his face, how couldn't he have seen it? Christ! Then he spun back around briskly, and paced quickly back towards the entrance of the Center. Nurse Joy called softly after him, "Oh, sir!" But he was already out the door. She turned to you and said, "That man is blind, I've seen him around here before. Amazing that someone with an impairment like that can serve as a butler... But, still, you should find him. It sounded important to him to retrieve that Pokémon," she said, pointing a finger at the Igglybuff, which shrunk from the gesture. Hm. He can't have gone too far, but you should catch him before he gets out of sight. |

Cuburt gave a respectful bow to the nurse and ran after the strange guy. He dashed after the butler with great haste. This wasn't for any ol' matter... its for "Hey Sir, ummm its me again." Cuburt tapped him on the shoulder, being careful not to dirty his suit. "I have your igglybuff right here." He rubbed the puff against the butler's arm so he could feel that it was there. The igglypuff was obviously unhappy with Cuburt's quick thinking and let out a quick 'Iggly igg!' in anger. "Sorry Igglybuff." Edited by Cuburt007, Aug 31 2008, 11:39 AM.

(Slight GMing with the Igglybuff, but nothing major) The man scowled at first as you tapped him, probably thinking that you were bothering him for nothing. He opened his mouth in an angry (yet probably polite) retort, but he didn't get any words out. He had heard the Igglybuff's squeal, and he shut his mouth at once; in all honesty, you now seemed to have captured his attention. "So you do have an Igglybuff," he remarked. Then, before you could say anything, he took off his formal gloves and lifted the balloon out of your hands. He started feeling her all over with his hands, not missing an inch of her. As he felt her, his slight delight at an Igglybuff coming into his presence suddenly changed to a frown. "She feels rather dirty, and this one's bow is missing. My little mistress's Snugglemuffins always wears a bow in her tuft of hair. Yet, she may have lost it...." The girl named her Igglybuff Snugglemuffins?! Odd indeed. Before you could so much as protest, he put the Igglybuff back into your arms and rushed you into a nearby Limousine. The vehicle was fairly long and was equipped with a private refrigerator, sweets, and a flat-screened TV. The butler slid in behind you and buckled himself. When you had done the same, he pushed a button, and the driver started moving. As you cruised along (and offered some delicious chocolate candy of your liking) the guy explained that he couldn't see, but he could take you straight to his mistress. Only she would recognize Snugglemuffins, and you'd probably get a pretty hefty reward if it was her. If it wasn't...well, we'll cross that bridge when it comes to it. As he spoke, the Igglybuff buried herself into your arms, shaking with fear. That was definitely a danger sign...maybe she had ran off for a reason? That would have to wait until later, as the vehicle came to a stop. The driver got out, opened the left-hand door, and beckoned both of you to exit. Clutching Igglybuff, you started sliding out of the vehicle, unsure of what to expect. |

Cuburt got out of the limo slightly dazed from all the sudden commotion. He followed the guy watching carefully for any signs of the igglybuff's dimay again. He wondered why the puff was squirming so uneasingly and why the girl had named her Snugglemuffins, also why was this guy blind and working as a butler with his condition? Why did Igglypuff run away from a rich house, doesn't she like being probably spoiled? So many questions. Well at least he wasn't bored any more. Plus money was coming his way for sure. Cuburt decided to let everything play out. Life is life right? "Ummm whos mansion is this Sir and why is that igglypuff squirming so much?" Cuburt didn't want to offend him just in case he might lose money, but the igglybuffs safety came first. Well it depends on how much money there is...I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Well... |

(I wasn't the one that made him blind...he's probably just really good with his job. XD) Tsk tsk, even a good trainer like you should know that there's really nothing that great about money. Sure, it can get you far into the world, but it often requires a decent bit of hard work and some sweat to pay for it somewhere along the line. Furthermore, a certain book quotes money as the root of all evil...well, whatever. We're starting to get off the beaten path here a little. "This mansion belongs to my employer, Sir Micheal Huntington III, the richest CEO in the city," the butler replied proudly. "Miss Louisa, his esteemed daughter, is the only family he has left, as his wife passed away from a terrible bout of pneumonia a few years ago. As my employer is often away at meetings and other arrangements, his daughter is often left to the servants and her dearest Snugglemuffins." As he finished this, a loud squeal pierced the beautiful grounds that you were in as a young girl of about seven ran from the gigantic oaken mansion doors. She was wearing a deep blue satin dress, white gloves, dainty little black shoes, and a stylish straw hat, and she was definitely in her "losing teeth" phase. Upon seeing and recognizing the Igglybuff, she yelled "Snugglemuffins!" and, swiping her out of your arms, glomped the poor thing nearly to death. "You're all stinky, you need a bath right away!" "Iggly...," Snugglemuffins muttered back, a small smile half-heartedly displayed on her lips. You could now see that it wasn't that dear SM didn't like the attention, but perhaps it was something more....You got that feeling as the little thing's blue eyes stared back at you, still a little worried. "Thank you for finding her, mister!" she told you excitedly, nearly dragging you into the lavish (and fairly empty) front hall of the house with her. "I've been looking for her for ages!" Immediately she called for some money and a certain Pokémon to be given to you. A servant came up and gave you $1000 and a full Pokeball...you'll have to look at that later, won't you? Then the little girl went on that she wanted you to stay for dinner and so forth...You could refuse, but what would happen if the spoiled brat didn't get her way? Anyway, if you wanted to keep an eye on the Igglybuff a little longer, this was your chance. |

Yay a pokeball which is what Cuburt needed the money for anyway. Cuburt smiled and stored the cash in his backpack and put the pokeball away. "Umm thank you for offering, I'd be honored to stay for dinner at such a lovely home." Cuburt respectfuly bowed and followed the little girl and her many servents. This was very exciting for a boy who grew up with little. While walking Cuburt asked, "Little Miss, where did you get that Igglybuff? You must like Pokémon eh?" The igglybuff was gasping for breath as the girl sqeezed her lungs. "Cute hat by the way." He admired the beautiful house while he walked. It must have taken years to build it.

Louisa grinned a slightly gap-toothed grin at you (obviously she was in the stages of losing her teeth) before answering in hast. "Yes mister, I really love Pokémon. Daddy wouldn't let me get one until last year, he just gave me dolls. Snugglemuffins is the first Pokémon I ever had, and even better is that I got to pick her name out!" I'm sure that if you hadn't been in such a place of high stature, you would've started snorting to death at that remark. Ignoring your compliment about the hat (or absorbing it; anyway it's beside the point) she led you into the dining hall. The lavish flowering wallpaper in this high-ceilinged room complimented the oaken ceiling and spotless wooden floor. A table of chiseled and polished marble with fourteen expensive chairs made of cherry wood ran the length of the hall; most of the table was empty except for four spots, all four of which were set at the head of the table. China plates, silk napkins, and spotless silverware were neatly arranged on the silk tablecloth. The head of the table was neatly set and the most lavish; no doubt that Sir Michael Huntington III would be joining you later. "Please sit," the little girl bade you, and you sat down across from her. She had carefully placed Snugglemuffins in the chair beside her; the Igglybuff didn't object to this, and you knew that her problem was not with the food. Your stomach was also telling you this as pleasant smells wafted through the room from the food. Shortly your dinner was served and a plump roast chicken was put in front of you among other things. (GM there a bit if you wish) Picking up your silverware, you were about to scoop up some food from the platters and dig in when Louisa giggled and corrected you. "Don't worry, the servants put everything on your plate for you." Indeed, no sooner had she said that then four of them entered the room, filled your plates, and then stood by the doors to the kitchen in case they were requested. Snugglemuffins and Louisa then dug in, and you could tell that the little pink Pokémon had been given the finest Pokémon food, expensive Pokeblocks and Poffins, and lavish human things to eat. Indeed, you were receiving the same treatment and would soon be stuffed like a pig. Either way, dig in! |

Cuburt's eyes glowed as he gazed at the mouth watering food. All he had for the last few days was sandwiches. "Wow thank you very much!" Cuburt began to eat the grilled chicken and he almost fainted from the tenderness and perfection. A master chef must have made this indeed! "Um little miss is it ok that you are letting me into your house with out your father's permission?" If Cuburt were a thief, he would be in heaven. "Oh by the way this food is heavenly!" Cuburt wiped his mouth with a napkin lavished with fine silk threads. "Louisa, beautiful name by the way, after we eat, do you want to battle? You like Pokémon right? We don't have to its just... Battling is really fun, and you should try it out. I think you will make a great Pokémon trainer." She will probably enjoy a battle, kids at her age love them, it was the least he could do for the gift she had given him. "I'll let you borrow some of my Pokémon for the battle if you like." |

Louisa seemed dubious about fighting in a Pokémon battle. Whether it was nerves, or a disdain for the fight itself you couldn’t tell. But, her little Snugglemuffins seemed to love the idea. The pink Igglypuff was practically bouncing in her seat with excitement. “Did you just challenge my daughter to a Pokémon battle?” A deep baritone voice asked from behind you. Both the Pokémon and the little girl ducked their heads. “Hello daddy.” She greeted softly. The servants rushed to seat Sir Michael Huntington III, and prepare his food for him. “Young man, I don’t know why you’re here, eating my food, and drinking by beverages. I’ll simply have to assume that there’s a good reason.” His dark green eyes darted to his daughter and the servants. “But I assure you that you will not battle my daughter, in my house. Nor will I give you the chance to fight the Pokémon that I bought for her. That Igglypuff is the finest on this island. I bought her from the best breeder. Her parents were both champions! To think that I would waste money on some Pokémon to fight with?! Bah!” Louisa dropped her eyes, lower than what they were. “Sorry daddy.” But Snugglemuffins seemed emboldened hearing about her powerful parents, and her breeding. She leapt onto the dinning room table and shook a fist at Louisa’s father. “Iggle-igig-Puff!” She seemed to challenge. Snugglemuffins hopped off the table and waddled over to where you sat. “Igglypuff!” She pointed at you now, challenging you to a battle! (OOC: By the way Cubert, your journey link doesn't work. Can you please fix it. Thanks. -Mezmo) Edited by Mezmo, Sep 16 2008, 08:57 AM.

Uh-oh, Cuburt shouldn't have opened his big mouth. He quickly stood up and bowed, "Sorry sir. Please forgive my rudeness and my intrusion into your house. My name is Cuburt Walker sir and you have a lovely home." Cuburt didn't want to mention why he was in the house, the dad was sure not to be happy with the fact that his daughter lost the prized Pokémon. What to do about the Igglybuff though. If he fought the Pokémon it would only make things worse with the Father. If he did not fight then the igglybuff would be disappointed and Louisa would never experience a battle at this rate. He needed to do something in order to loosen the dad up and become on his good side. If only he knew what the dad liked. There was only one thing to do now; suck up. "By the way Mr. Huntington III I heard of you and your status. You are the richest man in this city! Maybe the country even! With a house so nice you must have a nice taste too. With put your company and you expert advice to the company the Country's economy will surely fail! So thanks for keeping the country a flout. Can you tell me how on Earth you did it?" Cuburt looked at the Igglybuff and gave her a nodding signal to know that he was trying his best to get a battle going. Edited by Cuburt007, Sep 16 2008, 02:54 PM.

You really didn't know if your flattery would work, as Mr. Huntington III seemed busy thinking about the prospect of battling. Besides, he seemed more stunned at the fact that Louisa's beloved Snugglemuffins was shaking a little pink fist at him. Now you knew the problem; all that this little Igglybuff ever wanted was some excitement in her plush life. Battling would definitely bring that satisfaction to her, but she wasn't even allowed to do that. I'm sure that you're feeling almost sorry for her by now. Because the rich guy was still processing this, it was several moments before he replied to your words. "Right...erm, thanks. As I could go on for hours about the subject of my exploits, it would be best not to go into that. I could arrange for one of my award-winning tapes to be given to you, however." He started thumbing his goatee in thought once again, and he seemed to be contemplating something. "Fine then! I'll let Snugglemuffins battle you under the charge of" he pointed at one of the waiting male servants, who stared back nervously "that young man. Hopefully then she will realize how brutal battling is and will be less keen to do so in the future. I'll use you to teach her a lesson, young man. But for now, we dine." Bowing in your direction, he sat down, took up his knife and fork, and started carving into his chicken. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Later, with a full belly, you found yourself inside the mansion's vast backyard. It was more like a forest of flowers, but a grassy glade was situated in the middle. All in all, it was perfect for a battle. Standing in front of you was the nervous male servant (he seemed to be in his twenties) with Snugglemuffins in tow. Watching from the sidelines were Sir Huntington and his beloved Louisa. The older man looked stern, while Louisa was a mix between anxious and excited. Obviously she'd never seen battling before. Perhaps that was why she had been so reluctant earlier? "As a guest, you get the first move," Sir Huntington III said gruffly, inclining his head in your direction. At these words, Snugglemuffins braced herself a little, ready for anything that you threw at her. Meanwhile, the nervous servant was fiddling with his Poketech, no doubt trying to look up the little pink balloon's moveset. So...ready to begin? Remember that she's at a low level. Lv. 3

The thought of a battle got Cuburt's blood pumping. Almost to the point of him forgetting that the igglybuff was an infant. Hmm what Pokémon should he choose? He decided to let his new ralts have a go. "Come on out Ralts!" The female ralts came out with a soft growling noise. "Ok I'll nickname you Athena, is that ok with you Athena?" The ralts didn't seem to care one bit. "I'll name the male Apollo too. Anyway, on with the battle." Cuburt motioned the Ralts toward him. "Athena, remember that this Pokémon is a baby. So take it easy 'k? This is her first battle. Be nice." Cuburt got back into the game. "Now Athena use teleport to get to the igglybuff, then use tackle." Cuburt wanted to make a flashy move to impress the little girl. A good show is always fun when you are young. |
