Iz's eyebrows shot up at Oak's offer. He was seriously going to pay her to have Jack do what rabbits did best? The Bunaway's head popped out and stared at Oak as though he was trying to process what the man had said. Five hundred and some rare candies was a nice trade. She really didn't want an egg of another rabbit anyways. If people wanted to see what a frustrating creature a Bunaway was anyways, they could go ahead. The inbreeding would probably be a problem but it wasn't her issue.

She brought the rabbit out of hiding and conisdered him. Well, he wasn't much of a looker but who was she to judge? She wasn't a Bunaway. Iz shrugged and placed him down on the podium. "Well?" she asked, knowing full well he had understood the connotation behind the professor's words.

He shuffled on his long feet, preening himself briefly. Jack seemed unsure but Iz wouldn't face him. She didn't want him to base his decision on what she would like. It was his legacy anyways (whatever that could be) and something else of his that she really didn't want to think about. Just the thought of him and some purple blob doing that were enough to put her off of the task.

Then he hopped off of the podium and did what she was starting to call the bunny shuffle to the professor. He was agreeing, although he wasn't entirely sure what all he could do with it. She nodded and turned to the professor. "Looks like he'll deal."

((How to but this in the least scaring way...))

You and Jack both agreed to the offer and Professor Oak let out his Ditto and it transformed into a female Bunaway. Jack looked stunned by the transformation and was instantly you know what. Oak then told his Ditto to lead Jack into an area where no one could see and to do you know what((If you serious want me to tell you what you know what is just tell me.)) And of course, Katy Perry got up on stage and joined you and Oak.

"I have the perfect song for this moment!" she said.

The one good thing about it was that it would get everyone's attention and maybe even yours. And thus she started to sing.


((I got fancier and made it shorter.))

The song was over and so was Jack and Ditto's thing. Once Oak saw they were done, he ran over to where they were and got the eggs and brought then so everyone could see.

"They did it! They made eggs!" he said while holding up 4 eggs.

That's right 4 eggs. And if I did the math right, that means you get $2000 and 3 Rare candies. Looks like your tunring out to be the very rich lady. That and you should have plenty of money to buy Stitch a leash. And just as Jack came back to you, Oak handed you the money and candies. He then proceded to the other professors and each gave them one.

Looks like you and everyone else are done here. You should probably head back to your room and get some sleep unless you want to talk about it some more?

((I"m done here and if you want to request someone else you may. That and if you still request me I would laugh my head off and probably come up with something worse for you to do.))

[Okay then I won't request you if you're going to be evil.]

Iz was astounded if that was the right word. She had managed to get off of the stage somehow and had sat back down. Teresa was patting her arm as though trying to comfort her. Problem was, she was struggling not to laugh her ass off at this show. Orthrus looked scandalized and was hiding under the table as though to try and keep himself away from the stage.

Jack came back out several minutes later and she didn't know if he looked...satisfied or just creeped out. "He'll probably be gay later," she commented to Teresa and getting a giggle out of her. The little rabbit dashed to her and once again took to hiding on her shoulders. Oak presented her several bills and three chunks of stuff. She supposed they were rare candies as she had never seen any in person. Jack took them from her and deposited them in her bag for her.

Well, it looked like everything was done. She glanced down at Orthrus who was still hiding. "Why are the men cowards?" she asked the Chansey. The girl shrugged and slipped off of the chair. She made her way to the door with the human tagging after her with a dog close behind.

Back in the safety of the room, she kicked off her shoes and just relaxed for a minute. Jack had popped back out and had brought out the rare candies. He seemed unsure of what to do with them and she just leaned back on the sofa. "You earned them, you decide what you're going to do with them." The Bunaway spaced them out and seemed to consider this. His little paws rubbed his face as he groomed briefly, something she found utterly adorable again. She had gotten up to try and get ready for bed. By the time she had emerged from the shower, he looked to have made a decision. She ran the towel through her hair as he pushed one candy to Teresa, who looked quite baffled at the gesture, and one to Orthrus, who glanced at Iz first before agreeing. Jack explained to the Chansey why he was giving it to her. She seemed very reluctant to take it and Iz leaned in to her. "Just take it. It's his decision, he gave it to you."

She picked up the candies and unwrapped them before handing each one their prize. Jack nibbled on his while both Teresa and Orthrus popped them easily. "Okay, bed now. Need to be up early if we're going to get out of here at a decent time." Jack looked somewhat intimidated as Orthrus headed for the huge bed in a gallop. She limped after him, shooing him off of the pillows. Her knee ached and she rubbed it as she tried to get comfortable. Teresa spotted the scarred limb and looked shocked at the damage. Scars ran up all along the limb from her calf to her thigh. It had atrophied from the lack of use and she wasn't proud of it. The Chansey gently touched it and she glanced up. "Yeah, Mom?"

It had slipped out and even she looked surprised that it had fallen out of her mouth. Iz tried to say something to remedy it but couldn't grasp a thought on how to do it. Teresa was startled for a moment before she just smiled and patted her shoulder. Orthrus curled up on Teresa's side after nights of knowing how the woman slept: uneasy. Jack slunk in at some point but he merely stole the unwanted pillows and made himself a den beside the bed. She lay awake for nearly an hour, listening to the Poochyena lick his paws before settling down.

She needed to wake up, get breakfast, and head out for a collar or something for the Growlithe. Just needed to get the Growlithe under control. She was out then, sprawled on her back.

Well it seemed that your rabbit had a decision to make; eat all of the candies himself or share with his comrades minus the Growlithe. One the one hand, he could grow to be nearly as strong as Orthus and Teresa if he decided to eat them.. but he'd feel awful full afterwards. Not to mention that the other two might think of him as some sort of glutt, so he finally elected to give Teresa a candy, Orthus a candy, and finally a single candy for himself. That way everyone would be happy that he shared his bounty.. we all know he whored himself out for money so lets not try to cover it up.

Your stripper/prostitute/hooker/etc. made a nice little bed out of your pillows once you had gone into your luxurious room for the night. Numerous pillows were on the massive bed, and Orthus slept nearby, ever your vigiliant guardian. Teresa slept near to Orthus and in your large room, you had your big, happy family around. They were better then people at understanding your emotion, your insecurities. It was good that you had met both of them. Can you imagine having to deal with any other Pokémon right now? Er it was possible to imagine it I suppose, but would you want to imagine it is what it is what I'm getting at. I am going to assume a strong 'no'.

After a good sleep all of you woke up nearly in unison. Except for Teresa; she had been on the phone ordering breakfast from room-service. Once you did all of your morning routines, you would walk into the dining room and find eggs, pancakes, waffles, French toast, bacon, sausage, biscuts, gravy, potatos, ham, oatmeal, regular toast, preservatives, and spiced apples all assorted neatly and abundantly for you and your Pokémon to enjoy. After you ate your fill it would be easy enough to go to some shop and buy Growlithe a collar/leesh or something that would aide in keeping it under control.

Orthrus snapped awake at the smell of eggs. If there was one thing he enjoyed, it was eggs. Jack popped out as Orthrus flew off the bed and into the next room. "Crazy dog," Iz mumbled and sat up. Jack crawled up into the bed, squeaking softly. She stretched out her leg, wincing as it popped. It didn't ache as bad as yesterday and she was grateful for that. With a well practiced roll, she tumbled out of bed and stood for just a minute to get her bearings.

Teresa greeted her when she finally managed to limp out. The little Chansey was incredibly pleased with her spread. Orthrus was already chowing down on what looked like the remains of some eggs and apples. Jack had shuffled forward and began nibbling on what looked like a melon. The Chansey pushed a plate on her and she rolled her eyes. "Okay, Mom." The word didn't feel odd coming out of her mouth which surprised her. Teresa smiled brightly and clapped her hands together.

It was probably an hour later when she was able to herd them out. Jack sat upon her shoulder/bag and huddled up. The first stop was going to be a general shop to pick up some more PokeBalls and then someplace that sold collars or something for the nutso Growlithe. That was, if she could keep the Pokémon around her in check long enough to get to either store.

You walked around the town and it was hard to spot any sign of a shop. You sighed, your leg was beginning to hurt and you still couldn't find any sign of a Pokémart. You looked down and saw a flier that had attached itself to the sole of your shoe. You tore it away to see that it was an advertisement for the Pokémart. It seemed with all the disappearing Pokémon, Pokeball sales were down and so they resorted to fliers.

There was an address at the bottom and you knew it instantly, it was a street you hadn't yet scoured and coincidentally was one or two streets away from where you currently stood and so you made your way towards it. You noticed that just for today they were doing a special offer on Pokeballs! For every 3 brought, you got another free!

You turned the corner and saw the street empty and desserted. You walked to the building described in the flier and entered. The bell rang as the door opened and a man rushed forward to greet you. It was almost like having a personal shopper! After telling him however you only wanted some Pokeballs he walked away, disappointed and defeated.

After saying how many Pokeballs you wanted and handing over the corresponding money you walked out into the street and saw that not too far down the street was a shop that was perfect for what you were looking for! You entered and saw an assortment of canine treats, goodies and accessories. There were bowls, biscuits, chew toys and any other dog accessories.

You managed to find the collars and leashes near the counter and tried to select one. There were ones with spikes around the collar, ones in red with tassels hanging off, there were blue collars with fangs hanging. And then there were the plain collars in any colour you could think of with a matching leash next to it. You could pick up any combination and anything else you wanted. What did you want?

(Tell your next ref how many Pokeballs you asked for :) )

Orthrus slowly lumbered beside her as they searched high and low for any kind of mart. Teresa was skipping along merrily and she was nearly ready to beat something with a cane. Surely there was someplace in this city that sold PokeBalls. She stumbled at one point and pain sang through her knee. Orthrus watched her with concern while she regained her balance. However, the stumble had brougth attention to the flyer on her shoe. A PokeBall sale. How convenient. The street was just a couple over too.

After a small rerouting, Orthrus held the door open for them and she began browsing. Well, until a slaesperson popped up next to her. They were apparently doing a little poorly as he was like a hovering fly. Iz managed to wave him off with the promise that she was only getting PokeBalls. She asked for the upgraded kind as they would be a better investment. And she might as well get the special. "Four Great Balls please if they're part of the sale," she asked. "If not, then just four PokeBalls."

With her purchases in her bag, she headed out for any kind of store that sold restraints. It wasn't far when they did come across such a shop. She moved past the treats and chews but promised Orthrus they would look at them later. She began browsing the different leads. A simple collar wouldn't do. He could still snap and bite her or any one else around. His mouth was also a little broad for a muzzle and she really didn't want to confine him so. No, she needed something different where she could have control enough even with her bum leg. Iz needed to find a salesperson and ask if they had anything that went over the mouth and could fit a Growlithe. Hopefully, they wouldn't go for Orthrus as the problem dog.

The clerk nodded and grabbed you four Great Balls, asking for the $360 that you owed for them. After handing him the money, he smiled and told you to have a great day and come back for any other trainer supplies you might need. Your next stop would be a nice little pet type store where you definitely needed something to help you control Stitch. When you asked the clerk to help you, he frowned, unsure if they actually had anything that would be good for you. He told you to hold on and went back and found a catalog and began to browse it, finally landing on the exact thing you were looking for.

Going up and down a couple of aisles, he pulled off the perfect leash that would go well with the restraint. He also grabbed a collar that you might want to think about using together with the whole thing. You saw that together, it would all cost $425, leaving you with quite a bit of money left over for some treats. Of course seeing as how apples are Orthrus' favorite, you found some apple flavored treats, and the ones that he seemed to want cost $60 per bag. Then there was also a chew type toy he seemed to enjoy which would only cost an additional $20. All in all, when all is said and done, between these and the restraint and leash and collar, you would be spending $505.

I'll add in the Great Balls and subtract the money for those now. You might want to look around for some treats for your other Pokémon, so if you do, perhaps just give the idea of what you would like. Also a price range would be nice, and the next ref should check you out of this store and you should be on your way. Have fun!

The catalog proved to be very useful. The item she needed was there and could probably be ordered for the broad muzzled dog. The collar and leash the salesperson had suggested, probably because of the control issue, were also pretty nice as well. And she would need every little bit of help with the crazy dog.

Orthrus nudged a box of treats then and looked a pitiful. She glanced at it and rolled her eyes. "Okay, get it." His tail wagged and he gently picked it up and handed it to her. A smile was on his face then and he was prancing. "It's too easy to make you happy." She glanced down at Teresa and motioned around her. "You guys want something, go ahead and pick it out." Jack poked his head out, nose twitching. He seemed to be looking for something to eat since that was nearly all he did. He was probably looking for something like alfalfa cubes or something to snack on while he rode shotgun. Teresa seemed to be browsing and she wasn't sure what the Chansey was looking for. When she managed to catch up with the pink puff, she seemed to be browsing through jackets. The weather probably would bother her as she might have quite a bit there but little fur to keep warm. She seemed intent on the pink and purple jackets and would probably pick one out soon.

After this, she was going to head to the park for some training. The Growlithe probably wouldn't like it but she was betting on that. She just hoped she wouldn't be broke after this.

Twenty minutes later and you were still in the store. Jack couldn't find his alfalfa cubes, but did manage to scout a bag of carrot and spinach flavored biscuits that he seemed to be content with. You'd forked out $40 for those, and the rabbit Pokémon was now curled up on the floor, one of the orange cookies hanging from his mouth. You were sitting... actually, a more accurate description would be 'slumped', sideways in an armchair positioned courteously in the corner of the store. It was the chair that was designed for husbands who were waiting on their wives while they were picking out the accessories for their Pokémon. You'd just sat in it because you were sick of waiting for Teresa to pick out a coat.

Unlike the rest of your party, the Chancey was acting quite energetically. She had already tried on nine jackets, and had at least 13 of them spread across the shop floor. You were probably lucky that the shop wasn't busy and that you'd spent so much already, otherwise you might have been asked to leave. eventually, she came to a decision. Well, sort of. She'd decided that she wanted you to decide. The pink Pokémon had at least had the courtesy of narrowing down the decision to only two items though, both reasonably priced at $110 each. Sure, you hadn't spent quite so much on the others, but they seemed happy enough anyway. The two jackets were almost identical except for their color. One purple, one pink, they were both lightweight, snow-proof, hooded parkas. The pink one didn't have a zipper all the way down though, but that probably wasn't a huge issue. Guess the rest of the decision was yours.

Posted ImagePosted Image

Once you'd made your decision, you made your way up to the counter were you were greeted by the now weary-looking shop assistant. He'd been forced to stand there and watch the entire proceedings as well which seemed to have taken a lot out of him, and HE was a professional! You pass the cash across the counter to the man who by now is looking very relieved that you're leaving, but somewhat disappointed at the mess your Chansey had made. Who'd have thunk?! he thought, A Pokémon shopaholic!

You stepped out the door of the shop, fully expecting a blast of cool air to hit you in the face (Teresa was already donning her new parka) but you didn't quite expect it to be as cold as it was. The gush of wind that blew into the store was way more than cold! You wiped the snow from your brow and then looked out into the night. WAIT! Night? It was mid-morning less than an hour ago, how'd it get so dark all of a sudden.

You stepped out into the freezing cold air and noticed 23 things all at once. 15 of those things were people screaming and running for cover, 7 of those things were people shielding their eyes and looking up at a strange phenomenon in the sky, and the last thing WAS the strange phenomenon in the sky in the distance. It looked, for all intents and purposes, like a bird, but it was too far away to tell exactly. Whatever it was, it was letting off a brilliant blue glow.

Then, without warning, a Xatu appeared down the street where a group of people were running, and just as suddenly it disappeared again, this time taking the 6 or 7 people there with it. It was all very confusing. But maybe it was something you could ignore and just get on with your training anyway... I mean, giant creatures in the sky and disappearing people were nothing to worry about, right?

She wanted to shoot herself. Even Orthrus looked ragged and he wasn't the one having to deal with this. Iz mimed shooting herself in the head and got a nod in agreement from the Poochyena. Jack was busy gnawing on some biscuits, pausing every now and then before his teeth crunched down. Teresa chose this time to show her final choices. Iz could care less on which one she picked - it wasn't like she was a fashion model anyways - but the Chansey seemed desperate for her opinion. Rubbing her head, she pointed at the purple one. "Looks better on you," she BSed. The pink puffball chirped and just seemed ecstatic about the whole thing. Teresa helped her out of the suprisingly comfy chair as she found she really couldn't lever herself out of it alone. She tugged the coat on as Iz finally, FINALLY, paid for the entire set. She grimaced at the price but there wasn't much she could do about it.

Orthrus snacked on an apple biscuit quick before he took his place by Iz's leg. She pushed open the door and was shocked at the chill. Holy hell, it was cold. Jack squealed as snow flew at him and he hid on Iz's bag. The sudden cold of the snow in his fur against her bare neck had her shrieking. Tiny claws dug into her neck and she swatted at him. Chills ran down her spine as she adjusted to the sudden cold of the damn Bunaway. "I swear, I'm going to kill someone soon..." she trailed off, staring at the sky. "Oh hell..."

Something was up there. Something big, bright, and possibly dangerous. Orthrus growled uncertainly, shuffling from paw to paw. Jack was too busy hiding to see anything but he seemed to sense that something was up. Teresa whimpered and hugged her good leg. The people running in the street were not helping the situation either as it just further drove Orthrus' tension up. He snapped at several of them, pacing back and forth in front of her. "Cool it, Hellhound," she snapped. He whined but his muscles stayed tense as he eyed the people and the giant bird.

People were vanishing left and right, thanks to an Xatu. Not knowing if the Pokémon was friend or foe, she told the two, as Jack was clinging to her neck, to stay away from them. Shivering, she pressed back against the wall and held the leash and collar set she had just got. Fighting a Growlithe might be problematic with so much going on. Then again, the chaos might just be where he felt at home. Preparing the collar, she steadied herself and rolled her shoulders. The red dog appeared in a flash, his back to her. As quick as possible, she dragged the mouth strap on and snapped it closed. He seemed dazed at first as she hurriedly tightened the contraption and then hung onto the leash. He howled furiously and reared up. The big paws rubbed at his face to try and knock the thing off. Snarls rumbled and he leapt backwards. The straps pulled his mouth shut, cutting off any Ember attack he wanted to throw. His eyes blazed with anger and he rolled about the ground.

After five minutes of this display, she stood and waited for him to calm down. There were small scratches on his face were his claws had dug in a little too much. Orthrus looked somewhat ashamed of the spectacle and Teresa was still focused on the sky. The crazy Growlithe finally stood still, his chest heaving. The straps were relaxed so his mouth was open and the pink tongue was hanging out.

"Look, cool it. You're nuts, I get it. But right now, you go out alone and you'll probably die. So you can just deal." He pawed at the leash. "And no, that ain't coming off until you behave. Jesus, you're just like Stitch." Inspiration struck at odd times. "Okay, you're name's Stitch unless something better comes up. Now, you wanna die or have a chance?"

He glared viciously but glanced up at the dark sky. There seemed to be enough coherency in his brain to pick up the situation. He snorted but rolled his shoulders and shuffled forward. Orthrus straightened up to his full height and watched the Growlithe cautiously.

"Okay, let's find someplace where people seem to know what the hell is going on." She had no idea where that may be but somewhere away from the cowering people would be best.

So, you wanted to figure out why there were crazy images up in the sky? Well, to tell you the truth, I don't quite know myself. There's rumors abounding across the nation, but which one is right is anyone's guess. You simply wanted to find someone knowledgeable, right? Well, as you traveled the streets of screaming, stupid people, you heard and saw a number of people who claimed to know what they were talking about.

You saw a skinny, monkey like man exclaiming, "ITS THE END OF THE WORLD! REPENT AND GOD WILL FORGIVE YOU!" I hate those harbingers of doom, but he was charismatic. He had a crowd of a few hundred people around him. His words seemed to draw you in, making you want to listen to his words and give him money to ensure his, I mean your, safety in the afterlife.

But, if that guy didn't quite catch your eye, the man in the pristine lab coat with a monocle and curly mustache would. His attire was completely ridiculous, but his words were intriguing to say the least. He was yelling, "The beginning has come again. The creatures in the sky are creating a new world for us. We will become gods in it if we enter the light."

If you ask me both of them are nutjobs, but hey. What do you expect in times of crisis? Of course, you could go and talk to the little boy with three psychic Pokémon around him who seemed to be staring off into the sky without a care in the world. He seemed to know what was going on. He exuded an air of don't bother me, I know what's going on, but screw you.

Make the choice of a lifetime.

(No need to request me. Someone else can do whatever.)

Nutjobs come out at the wrong times. She stared at the two, trying to decide which extreme was the worst. Stitch seemed intent on trying to figure out how to get the leash off of his mouth. She gave him a gentle tug to redirect him and he didn't seem to like it. Well, he could deal. The evangelical was screaming about the Apocalpyse and how to repent to save yourself. Of course, what was worse were the people surrounding him and listening. Well, a willing and panicked audience were more eager to believe anything at this point. The other nutjob was claiming humans would be gods in the next world, whatever that may be. That was even worse as she was pretty sure it was humans who caused this damn mess in the first place. What God or Legend would even consider them perfect enough to rule a world?

Besides, if it was the end, well, someone else could judge her. Teresa was hugging her leg even tighter and she was having trouble walking with the 75 pound creature attached to her. Orthrus gently helped peel her away and the Chansey hung onto him instead. He looked scared and it was somewhat uncharacteristic of him. Stitch just looked pissed but there was a sort of fear hidden in his features. Jack was inside her bag now and didn't appear to be coming out anytime soon. Better than having to keep up with him though.

Not too far away stood a boy with three Psychic Pokémon. He wasn't panicking. Iz blinked in surprise and found that yes, he was still alive. He stared up at the sky though in thought. He seemed like to kid to go to, no matter how pitiful that was. She limped over to him slowly and made sure that Stitch was in check. The last thing she needed was the Growlithe lunging at the Pokémon and then she would get no answers. Orthrus was intent on keeping the Chansey calm although it honestly looked like Teresa was comforting the Poochyena. She approached the kid slowly, hoping not to scare him or the Pokémon. "You're probably more intelligent than all the great minds on this rock. Can you tell me what's going on?" she asked him, hoping she wasn't sounding condescending or anything.

Ignoring the doomsayer and the freaky scientist bloke, you make your way through the street which despite all of the vanishing people had become very crowded. Nobody seems to notice where they're walking, so there are a lot of collisions and not many apologies. As you can imagine, it takes quite a while for you to get to the little kid, and at some point along the way you think that somebody trod on one of Orthrus' feet, because you heard him let out a sharp yelp, followed by a menacing growl at the offender.

When you finally reached the boy and asked him what was going on, he didn't say anything; at least, not at first. He just sat there, gazing at the sky as if you didn't even exist. One person even tripped over and practically fell on top of him, but he wasn't even phased. you were just thinking about maybe ditching this idea and finding somebody else to ask when the boy placed his left hand on your shoulder and pointed at the weird glow in the sky with his right.

"People don't know what it is," he said to you calmly, "because nobody's seen it for so long. But the Pokémon know. Espeon told me. She told me that the creature you see there is called Articuno. But something is terribly wrong."

The boy's story wasn't very well told, but it was interesting all the same. Of course, you'd heard of Articuno, one of the three Winged Mirages, but you'd never heard of it being seen before. The boy went on with his tale:

"Espeon says that all of the ancient Pokémon are in a very heated argument. She isn't exactly sure what's going on, but apparently some of the more powerful Pokémon are trying to save us all from the fighting. They're having all of the people moved away from this place, moved to somewhere safer."

The boy turned around and sat down on the ground. He put one arm around the Kirlia by his side as his Espeon and Wynaut crowded around him. The boy raised his hand towards you, offering it to you in a handshake like gesture. "We're going to go there now, if you'd like to come along. You'll end up being taken anyway. Perhaps it's better if you know what's happening?"

Well this doesn't happen every day. In fact... it usually doesn't happen any day! You were actually being asked if you'd like to teleport to a place that you've never ever been to, with a person that you'd only spoken a few words with. Well, I guess you have another decision to make. Go with this kid now (maybe it'll be quieter on the other side) or wait to be inevitably whisked away by trigger-happy Xatu?

Orthrus was nursing his injured paw still when they managed to get to the boy. Obviously, he was a little older than a kid as he was tall enough to reach her shoulder. Iz listened to him, finding that he was probably smarter than herself which she didn't admit to many. Teresa stared at the bird in the sky and she gently stroked both dogs, unafraid of the wrath of the Growlithe. Stitch didn't look so mad now as he watched the situation unfold and it seemed to be getting through to him. He pressed close to the large puffball, whimpering as the people pressed in.

Articuno was in the sky, Iz thought. Funny how it wasn't one of the Beasts. There seemed to be truth in the boy's words and she stood with him, watching the havoc crack the people's minds. Strange how at the end of the world, she was standing here, leaning on her cane with her Pokémon pressed close and with a kid younger than her who knew the secrets of the ages. By powerful Pokémon, he probably meant the myths: Celebi, Mew, and the ones from Hoenn and Sinnoh. Hey, she's a Johto native, she doesn't know all of them. Either way, she watched the sky rage unmercilessly on the ground.

The boy sat down and hugged the white ballet dancer close to him. The Espeon, that was gorgeous, and the strange baby Wobbuffet pressed close. He held his hand up for her and she stared at it dumbfoundly. "We're going to go there now, if you'd like to come along. You'll end up being taken anyway. Perhaps it's better if you know what's happening?"

She hesitated, more from caution than anything else. Iz glanced down at the Pokémon gathered around her. They stared back at her, terrified at the thought of Ragnarok fully coming down on them. She forced a smile and turned back to the boy. "You make a pretty good offer. I don't think I can pass it up." She hooked her cane on one of her bag straps to leave both hands open. Jack squeaked inside her bag and she felt him shift to be as close as possible to her. With a small amount of difficulty, she managed to sit on the ground in front of him. Teresa held on to her leg while Orthrus crawled onto her lap. Stitch, his insanity pushed back for now, nudged her arm and huddled under it with both paws firmly on her leg. It hurt, more because he was on her bad leg than anything. "Name's Iz by the way," she said, taking his hand. "And I thank God or whoever that you're here."
