01 [ACTION]

[bestsweater]

[There is a giant, living boulder...thing on campus. It's snake-like in appearance and is just kind of milling about, sticking its giant rock nose into bushes, peering into second-story windows, leaving the campus lawn all torn up in its wake. Hey man, you can't be a massive stone-serpent and not leave a some kind of trail. It's around various places all day, and very clearly seems to be giving the place a once-over.

One might easily ignore the young man that accompanies this gargantuan creature (or is it the other way around?) if not for the fact that he is wearing an obnoxious shade of bright orange. Still, it might take you a few moments to notice him, given the sheer size of his rock-like companion. He carries a backpack, and a map which he refers to every so often.

What is most interesting about this duo, perhaps, is the fact that they seem to be actively conversing, albeit in different languages. Occasionally this mysterious arrival hitches a ride on his stony friend along their self-guided tour. It's obvious that they're evaluating the school with a sort of non-verbal running commentary, perhaps looking for a familiar face or two.

[The rumbles of the large rock snake as it slithered and grumbled along with its trainer had Vashta's attention. It doesn't quite know what to expect. But Onixes don't just wander around willy-nilly. This may be something of concern. And maybe it was nothing. Only one way to find out.]

done. I never thought this would be a legit tag.

[Oh my God oh my God a Pokemon there are ALREADY POKEMON and to top it off, it's a Pokemon Brock has NEVER SEEN BEFORE. So he hopes it's a Pokemon.

But because he is not sure what KIND of Pokemon he is dealing with, he's going to put himself between the two Pokemon, in a very obvious attempt to show that he's having his Onix stand down.

Then he's just going to...quietly observe and see what happens.]

[badassshadows.livejournal.com]

[Geez Brock you oughta know your legendaries better. On the other hand, Vashta does not know her non-Sinnoh leaders very well, so. Beep beep telepathy.]

Who are you?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Uh oh. Nine times out of ten telepathy means REALLY IMPORTANT POKEMON. Brock decides he better be as courteous to this one as possible. He's also got one hand against Onix as a signal to NOT ATTACK WHATEVER YOU DO OK.]

My name's Brock. I'm not looking to fight.

[badassshadows.livejournal.com]

Why are you here, then?

[It just kind of. Stays there, unsure of what to think so far. However, Darkrai has no face to speak of, and so it's difficult to tell what it's thinking. At least it sounds neutral.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

I'm...visiting?

[badassshadows.livejournal.com]

... I see.

[The silence that followed was really nothing more than Darkrai not knowing what to say next.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[He gestures to Onix.]

We won't be any trouble, I promise.

[badassshadows.livejournal.com]

... I will take your word for it, then.

[It starts to float back into the shadows.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Oh great. Now he has a strange Pokemon WATCHING him from the shadows. Brock decides to be BOLD.]

I uh...I didn't catch your name.

[Darkrai pauses, as if it it considering telling him.

Then the strange Pokemon slinks further back into the shadows where it can't even be seen...]

[badassshadows.livejournal.com]

[And then it emerges again.

Except now it's not a strange Pokemon.

It's a strange lady.]

... my name is Vashta Darkai.

[Maybe she does this because she forgets that it's not normal. Or maybe she does it just to psych people out. The world may never know.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Brock is so taken aback by this surprise he steps back in shock, trips over Onix's tail, and lands spectacularly on his ass.

Onix also looks a little weirded out.]

[badassshadows.livejournal.com]

[hgdlkgh NOT AS PLANNED. She rushes over to him.]

Ah, I didn't mean to... Are you alright?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Brock sits up, rubbing his head, wondering exactly what happened. What a strange hallucination!]

I...yeah. I'm fine. There was a...

Hello.

[badassshadows.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, I guess you hit your head a bit hard...

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

It's not so bad. I passed the cafeteria earlier today, I can go get some ice.

[badassshadows.livejournal.com]

W-well, if you're sure... ... sorry to startle you like that.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Oh, uh. Don't worry about it.

[He manages a sheepish smile, despite the fact that he is really confused and totally weirded out.]

[badassshadows.livejournal.com]

[Since she has no Persim Berries on-hand for the confusion, she figures the least she can do is give him a hand so that he can get up.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[He gladly accepts it and dusts himself off.]

Well, uh. It was nice meeting you.

[badassshadows.livejournal.com]

Y-you too...

[fhlkhf she is just going to go. Back into the shadows to disappear now. Gaaaah so embarrassed ;_;]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Well that was certainly an educational experience.]

[badassshadows.livejournal.com]

[It was almost like some kind of weird nightmare.
