Step two--Maylyn starts out.

[Maylyn]

Maylyn yawned carefully as she held her new pokemons pokeball between her trembling fingers. Not yet thinking of a name for the small female Horsea.
"Hmm, Bubble. No too simple. May, too much like me."
she debated against herself carefully.
"Mmm, Glimmer."
she desided carefully tapping the poekball with her fingers carefully. Looking up once more she noticed she was gone from the familiar town.
"Route one."
she read looking up at a large white sign. Maylyn sighed clipping the pokeball to a chain around her neck and fumbled it bewteen her fingers.
"Pokemon come out come out."
she sung watching Ratta scurry in a near by bush, pidgey flutter over-head and Weedle inch across tree branches. But nothing to her interest.

ooc: I don't think that you are allowed to godmode, aka deciding which Pokemon come, when, how the battle goes, etc.)

All was quiet. A Farfetch'd was napping on the side of the road. Suddenly, a Caterpie leapt from the tree onto it's head!<Bwahaha! I'm gonna eat your barin!> <Eek!> The Farfetch'd squealed. <The alien Caterpie from outer space is gonna eat my brain! Heeelllp!>

[Kurt Jameson]

OOC: What Maylyn did was fine, as she was just letting us know of her surroundings, as long as she doesn't say anything like "Maylyn saw a Starly, its feathers an odd shade. She sent out horsea, and got ready for battle" Than it is ok. Please continue modding the thread, all other posts will be Deleted except the first and second, and this one.

[piggy09]

ooc: Okay.

[Maylyn]

Maylyn just looked at the bird pokemon and the Caterpie and shook her head, walking over and plucking the Caterpie from the pokemon's head.
"Now behave."
she said setting it on a small patch of grass and blowing it a kiss. Looking back towards the Farfetch'd trying to calm it down,
"Don't woirry, your alright."
she said bending down with a berry in her palm.

[Apolo]

ooc||Maylyn said Jennie could traavel with her character.
bic|| Jennie smiled as Julianne trotted alongside her, her flamelike tail almost brushing her black sneakers. She felt a certain rush of adrenaline, followed by suffusion of warmth. She could see a trainer vaguely in the distance, and headed nonchallantly towards her, wondering what to do next. Where was she headed, anyways?

[Maylyn]

As she tried to calm down the bird pokemon she caught a movement in the corner of ehr eye,
"Uhh, little help please?"
she yelped watching the Farfetch'd run around crazily. Glimmer's pokeball shook rapidly and suddenly lite a red flame-like glow and was replaced instantly by a small Horsea.
"Seee!"
it cried inching towards Maylyn while sucking in and out its nose like a small straw.

[Apolo]

Jennie flinched. "I don't know what to do!" she gasped. "i've been around Pokemon for about the last 2 minutes! I just got Julianne!"

Julianne leaped to Jennie's side, and Jennie shouted with fright.

OoC||For helping me situate myself with a Pokemon and a partner...your Karma has been returned to 0.

[piggy09]

The Caterpie, madly glaring at Maylyn, leapt onto Jennie's head!

The Farfetch'd smiled as sweetly as one can without a mouth, and ate the Berry. <Hey! You look like a strong Trainer! Can I travel with you?>

[Apolo]

Jennie glared. "Great..." she murmured, rolling her eyes. She wasn't sure what was going on.

And she would have been stuck this way, if not for Julianne. The small Pokemon leaped up, aiming a thin tongue of flame at the Caterpie. Jennie could smell the smoke, and started shaking uncontrollably.

[Maylyn]

Maylyn looked down at the Farfetch'd and nodded,
"You may."
and took out a pokeball,
"Would you like to battle or will you come freely?"
she giggled thinking she sounded like a rocket memeber. Glancing at Jennie she quickly said
"Careful, that Caterpie looks kind of young."
and returned her glance to the Farfetch'd.

[Apolo]

Jennie grinned. "I know," she said, trying to control herself. "It's just...I haven't seen too many Pokemon before." Hesitantly, she reached up and plucked the Caterpie from her hair, smoothing down a few honey-colored locks. "I take it you know plenty more than me...I mean, the way you handled that..." She made an offhanded motion. "Thanks so much, anyhow."

[piggy09]

The Caterpie hopped around, doing a less-dignified version of the Worm.<Ouch! Ouch! It BURNS!!!!! Anyone got an Rawst berries?>

...

The Farfetch'd nodded. <I wanna come of my own free will! Battling hurts...>

[Apolo]

Jennie sighed ruefully. "Er," she said, picking up the Caterpie from the grass. "I guess I don't...I..." She struggled on the verge of tears, her eyes sparkling painfully. Somehow--and she had no idea how--she felt...not good enough to be a Pokemon trainer.

/If you're scared of Pokemon,/ she reprimanded herself sharply, /and afraid of hurting them, you won't get anywhere as a trainer./

She turned to the grey-haired girl in the odd outfit, and gave a quick nod. "A-any help?" she stammered, a little suprised at how rude she sounded.

[piggy09]

The Caterpie looked shocked that it had offended the girl.<I-I'm sorry...> it muttered. <It was just a prank...> And, to it's shame, the little bug Pokemon started whimpering, and tears soon followed. The only good thing is that they healed the burn.

ooc: Oy, we're just becoming a regular soap opera...

Nice insight into your charatcer, by the way.
