Pewter City (a good place to start)

"She's a lively one," Dirk says, standing fairly close and overhearing Vei. "How do you like it here? I found some of these bones."

In particular, he's interested in the aerodactyl Vei's looking at. "See that toe? The middle on, on the left foot? I found that!"

[phaerix]

"She's a lively one,"

Dirk caught Vei off-guard. He made a mental 'Gah!' and recomposed himself.

"How do you like it here? I found some of these bones."

"Uhm," Vei began, "It's nice and quiet. I like these things -- what? Oh. That's impressive..." He may have put on a droll tone, but he was seriously becoming interested. To himself, he noted, 'This guy can find things like this? Maybe he knows where... Hmm. Should I ask?'

"Mister.. Dirk? Then... you wouldn't happen to know where a Relicanth could be found, would you?" There was a hint of childish excitement gleaming in his eyes.

[banov]

"...Relicanth..." now it was Dirk who began to sound less interested than he'd like. "I'm no pokemon professor, so I'm not sure where to find species of pokemon. Rather than go to where people have discovered pokemon, I'd rather find somewhere nobody's been to before..."

He scratches his chin, thoughtfully. "...But... one thing I can say... is that I don't think you'll find one in Kanto. Because if it was here... I might have actually heard of it before. What kind of pokemon is it?"

[phaerix]

"Well.. It's ancient, that's why I thought you'd know of it." He paused. "It's a very old fish. I've heard of it once... and only once. Supposedly it's extinct, but there have been sightings. I just don't remember where."

'Granted,' Vei thought, 'it's not a very fantastic fish, but I'd still like to see it.'

The boy seemed slightly wistful at the moment. Azure was imagining something weird.

((Um even though My character is supposed to be in Sinnoh I decided that was to lonely for now so I'm going to prop myself up in here hope you all don't mind))

Ahz walked up to the museum slowly keeping a sharp eye on everyone around him. A shinx walked next to him it's head bobbing in all directions trying to take in all the new sites.

"Sorry Raia," Ahz knelt down as he spoke. "I'm afraid they don't allow pokemon outside their balls into this place. so I'm going to have to call you back," he said reaching for the pokeball in his shoulder bag.

"Shinx shin..." the Shinx sighed, "Return!" Ahz cried and replaced the ball back in the bag. Ahz pulled the hood of his cloak over his head stood back up and walked into the building.

Before the receptionist could speak Ahz handed her the full sum for his entry and walked on by. Once inside Ahz began to take inventory of all the people inside making sure their weren't any people staring at him. Once he was done he walked to the nearest unoccupied exhibit and began to study it.

((-^~^- Characters can be in any topic, anywhere they wish- except for those closed topics for those few people allowed. It should be okay, Rick.))

"Having fun, there?"

Kimiko jumped at the jab. "Oh, well yes, I am having fun-" She stopped when Vei was in another conversation with Dirk. 'Oh.' She hovered around them, listening into whatever they were talking about. 'Relicanth?' The girl was thinking back, glancing at a few memories that bubbled up concerning that particular name.

"Relicanth..." Kimiko said vacantly. "...I think I have heard of it before. While I was still living in Hoenn."

[phaerix]

...living in Hoenn.

'Hoenn?' Vei mentally mused. 'That's quite far-off from where we are now...'

During this muse a newcomer caught his eye... one dressed in black from head to almost the toe. 'Seems a little warm for that kind of clothing, sir,' thought Vei.

He turned to Kimiko. "Where did you hear of it?" he asked absentmindedly. Vei was beginning to feel uncomfortable. He hadn't asked this many questions about a single topic before in his life, and now was probably evoking awkwardness in him. Azure let out a reassuring growl. Somewhat.

[Rick Xeros]

Ahz glanced sharply at a group he had noticed talking when he came in. In spite of his interest in the exhibit he was at. He couldn't help but feel uneasy at the site of them. Groups made him nervous, in his experience a group of people is usually trouble.

Still he tried his best to ignore them and continue his study of the moon rock before him. Yet it was no use, he had to know what they were talking about. He couldn't risk them passably trying to harm him. So his paranoia getting the best of him he began to creep sideways in there direction, slowly to keep form being noticed.

[The Rose Kirlia]

"I first heard of it when I was eleven, in Lilycove. I would go to the beach and hang out there when I'm done with schoolwork. I usually go and hang around, eavesdropping on conversations. People have interesting things to say, sometimes." She smiled at this. "It just so happens on that one conversation was with an old fisherman. He mentioned something about seeing one of those things- Relicanth. I've never heard of such a Pokemon before then. It's supposedly rare..." She trailed a bit. "I should think I'd want to see what one looks like in person."

Then Kimiko looked at the newcomer. He seemed suspicious enough- maybe he was shy. "Hello there! How are you?" She asked enthusiastically.

[Rick Xeros]

His heart skiped a beat and his eyes widened when she spoke 'LOCATION NO LONGER SAFE THE ENEMY HAS SPOTTED ME ABORT ABORT ABORT!!!' his mind screamed but "Meep!"was all he could manage to say.

Ahz shook his head trying to clear his mind. He looked at the small girl, surely this child could do him no harm. He quickly sobered himself up and replied to the girl "Ehem... Hello young lady," Ahz replied as polietly as he could "I'm quite allright, whats your name?" he faked a smile.

[The Rose Kirlia]

The girl smiled and said "My name is Kimiko, what's yours?" She thought he acted a little strangely when she first spoke, but she disregarded it, thinking that it was just that he was shy. Being a bit shy was normal, right?

[phaerix]

"I'd like to see one too. I think it'd be interesting."

'Hmm.. the Old Rod beckons,' he jokingly thought. His attention again was turned to the darkly-dressed one.

"Uhm. Hello." Vei thought it interesting that he would be so.. formal? Yes, that's it.

[Rick Xeros]

'My name...' he thought frowning. "Ahh umm... my name yes it's ehh ahhh... Ahz! Yes Ahz!" He announced proudly. He then looked at the other child who addressed him studying the boy carefully. "Yes and hello to you," he replied carefully.

Ahz's gaze then shifted to the small blue croc at the boys feet. 'Hmm I guess Raia could come out here if she liked after all...' he thought and continued to stare at the creature.

[The Rose Kirlia]

'Maybe, he's just a bit odd,' Kimiko concluded finally. "Ahz is an interesting name. I never quite heard it before." She smiled. "Nice to meet you, Ahz!" She extended her hand for a friendly handshake.

[Rick Xeros]

Ahz looked at the extended hand for a moment, then smiled and happily accepted the gesture, shaking her hand briefly. "Heh," Ahz chuckled "Well um I had some very unusual parents..."

"You'll have to excuse me I'm not very used to socializing," Ahz explained, "I spend a lot of time on the road with nobody but Raia to talk to..."
