To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me)

He knew what she was laughing at, though he knew it was a funny thought. He didn't enjoy it but it was the truth. Though it was indeed true, old habit's do die hard. "History is a very fragile thing, if anyone did something that they were not supposed to then the flow of time would be distorted to change to fit that happening. People say all things have the power to distort the flow of time, to change fate." Alvin commented as he continued on, not all to caring how off it was. He knew full well but it was best not to really thinking about it. He was touched by her concern about him resting. He wasn't so weak as to let a little fatigue that it brought stop him, his main problem was pain. If he concentrated for extended periods of time the headaches would come. They were short and didn't last long but it did hurt, and he always broke concentration when it began to hurt, so he didn't know how it would be if he didn't. He did watch her pout at his teasing, but at least it made it so the mood was lightened a bit. He did listen to her speak of her sister, Amber not returning home. His pace slowed as he began to think. "She didn't return home..? It was raining what could of kept her? This doesn't seem to be good, I was possessed last night, what if something else was around?" Alvin spoke in a concerned tone, he was right, they had no idea what else was around. This concerned him more and more, he had heard her say she was interested in those things.

But he was slightly more worried about Amber at this point. He couldn't send Jenna back to her house to find out if she returned, that would blow it. It was then a chill filled the air, he felt something wrong, somewhere, something that she wouldn't be able to feel. It was odd, like something was pulling on him to move. "Does anything feel strange to you?" Alvin asked he seemed odd, like spooked or something.
 
"That it is. That may be true. All things have the power to change fate. But of course, not everybody knows exactly what will happen to them. They just have to dive right in and see what happens right? Of course, that isn't the case for you." she knew they'd probably run into some danger along the way, and she didn't think she'd be able to protect himself inn the state he was now. The only time he seemed to do well in fights was when he was possessed. She'd step in to protect him if she had to. "So just rest when you need it okay? You don't have to worry about anything if you've got me around. Unless we run into Amber of course. She's usually in a bad mood..." She nodded slightly at his question. It was even odd to her about why she had not returned. She knew for sure that Amber hated the rain, so she must have found a shelter or something outside the village. "Well, after you were possessed and all, I wouldn't be surprised to find other things roaming around. Whoever was possessing you mentioned their master hoping to tame me and the whole village, so we've got to have to be cautious." she paused to look around a bit at his question, but she shook her head slightly. "Well, no. Why? I mean, it's just a little cool, but that's not strange at all."
 
"Fate is a funny thing, or maybe this was my fate to begin with? Perhaps I am just following the flow of what is meant to be. Let us just hope, that the end of our path is a happy one." Alvin spoke in a soft tone. It seemed as if he knew that the path ahead of them was not going to be a pleasant one. Yet he spoke not a word of it, but he was sure she could tell. In the eyes of people Alvin would most likely be considered inhuman. Alvin knew that Jenna had no idea about him when it came to anything other then there talks. Alvin could fight, that was for sure, though possessed his strength was his own. Not only that he wouldn't want to put Jenna in harms way, he knew she was most likely a lot more sore then he was. Alvin let out a sigh looking over his shoulder, a kind smile upon his face. "Jenna im fine, you don't have to worry about me. Besides there is still a lot to worry about, if we face another possessed person there will be a lot tougher, to win. You fought by... Well you know bonding with me. If we face someone else like that it will be harder, because from what I understand, the ghost can possess the body after death.... Which has also been a true fact in all the zombie horror movies..." Alvin spoke in a slightly creeped out tone, he knew that little true fact. Though most people didn't read too much into anything involving pokegirls, since few wanted to become researchers. They all wanted to be tamers, so there classes were always more... Physical. Alvin on the other hand had a mix of intelligent and physical classes, though his were nothing like the some of the Tamers classes. He did share the same ones as Tamers but nothing that involved the practice of things. Alvin thought about her comment of a master, this only furthered his need to get back to the city and research what was going on around here.

It was only a few moments after she finish speaking that it came. Slow and steady, like a whisper that grew louder and louder. That laugh, that empty soulless laugh, that surely Jenna knew so well. It was haunting and seemed to be moving slowly but surely. Alvin burst into a run, in the direction it came. His body pulling on him to go faster, and faster, he felt something greatly wrong here, and he was sure that was it.
 
"Hmm...well I suppose. I can't really say what to think of this situation, but we just have to go along with it. I suppose it may be fate that has put us together here. And don't go hoping that everything's going to turn out all right in the end." She walked up in front of him, a little grin on her face. "We're just going to make everything work out, no matter how tough the road ahead is. Right?" Although Alvin would tease her for acting childish most of the time, Jenna did have her moments where she could get serious. It was mainly because of Vanessa's influence, and that actually applied to Eva and her other sisters. "Well, I can't help but be a bit worried at least. I mean, I didn't fight the real you last night. You got a whole lot of strength for that possession though. But if I think about it, controlling that power of yours could really help you out. I'm not too sure how long it'll take, but if you can determine your opponent's actions before they do them, you should be a very good fighter soon enough." She paused at his remark about the zombie horror movies. "Eh? Well, I've never seen a zombie movie of any kind." Come to think of it, she really didn't see very many movies at all. Every now and then she'd sneak into one, only to get caught and tossed out for not having a ticket. She froze as the air was filled with vile laughter, the all too familiar cackling that was still fresh in her mind. Of course, his possessed self came into mind again, and she was worried when he suddenly took off in its direction. "Ah! Alvin, wait!" She quickly took off after him, a bit of distance between them though. For a while she was dragging behind but slowly ran up at his side. "Alvin, we shouldn't just run head-first into this. I remember this voice. This was when you were possessed last night. We don't know what to expect, but what if this happens again?"
 
Alvin listened to her words they seemed gentle, something he didn't quite expect from her. He could see Eva or maybe Vanessa speaking like that. Yet for some reason it was nice to hear it from Jenna. How optimistic she was, it kind of gave him a spark of hope. He was sure that fate hand given him a black card, but perhaps it wasn't exactly black. Perhaps it was Twilight because there were still people around him he could share the change with. "Heh... Yeah, your right." Alvin spoke in a kind not teasing her or even commenting beyond it. IT seemed odd for him not to speak up. Yet considering the situation, it was perhaps for the best. Alvin listened her voiced concerns it was true, without control he could over see a movement. He could move too soon, his focus wasn't clear. This ability seemed to have so many problems it was useless. Either way he would have no clue how to use it unless he got into a real fight. He wasn't surprised she hadn't seen any movies, they weren't really something that would be interest of someone sneaking into a city full of strange people.

It was after he had shot off a good distance that she had caught up to him. Even though he heard what she had said, he didn't stop. For some reason, Regret, and self loathing built in his stomach. His mind raced, was someone possessed, was it the same one, was someone in trouble? He couldn't bring himself to wait, something in him drove him to follow, to go to it. "Even if we don't know, even if it is the same, we can't stand by! A possession occurs when a persons negative emotions are at the peak. Rage, hate, sorrow, uselessness, not belonging, when you give up or give into those! If this person is doing something, then there's a possibility someone from the city or your village is in danger! If there really is a dark master controlling these ghosts, if they get someone from the village they will know where the village is! Then Vanessa, Luna, Amber... And Eva would be in danger!" Alvin explained again how a possession occurred, and elaborated why he had to move, it was strange. It seemed to him he was just making excuses to go. His heart raced, and it was exciting, running head first into danger! He had never done anything like this! It was Invigorating! "What happens we have to do something, there's more to gain by trying then there is to remain away!" Alvin spoke before he saw the movement, of something or someone, it didn't take them long before they came to the scene. Someone laying battered and bruised on the ground facing away from them. It was a girl, he couldn't tell what kind of variant she was, but he could tell the other one that was there. A fighting type, Hitmonchan the worst kind to encounter for them. It wasn't any girl from there village which made it clear that she was from somewhere else.

The Hitmonchan girl didn't move at all but merely looked at Jenna and Alvin. Alvin had stopped completely and made not a single move. It had become a stare down, at the moment nether of them moving, glaring at one another.
 
Despite her protests, he had continued forward, picking up speed as they went along. As they got even closer to the source of the laughter, she was getting more and more worried. Of course she wanted to prevent the chance that someone else would be possessed. However, she was more worried about Alvin at this point. It was a bit of a selfish thought, but she couldn't help it. She wasn't going to be changing his mind anytime soon though. All she could do really was go along with it. Plus, she did not want her village to be in jeopardy because they overlooked this. Her heart was pounding even more as the laughter filled the air. She gasped as she managed to stop behind him. She looked ahead to see the Hitmonchan girl up ahead, as well as the other figure on the ground. They seemed to arrive just as a fight ended, but there were no tamers at the scene. These two were still wild. Jenna knew very well about fighting-type girls. When it came to combat, they were seemingly unmatched. In many situations, it was best to avoid them. The Hitmonchan girl didn't seem to be budging and they looked to be itching for a fight with them. Jenna prepared herself, putting her hand in front of Alvin. "Please, let me take care of it." For right now, she would be the best choice to confront the Hitmonchan girl. It wasn't very likely that he had a hold on his ability just yet.

Before she could do anything else though, the figure on the ground started to stir a bit. "Tch...what the hell?" She slowly pushed herself up weakly with her arms, now on her knees. Her long fiery red hair flowed down to her sides. She was wearing a black leather top with long blue jeans, which had been torn up a bit in certain places, probably due to the fight. Her eyes were about the same shade of red as her hair. "Don't think you've got me out just yet, you bitch..." Jenna paused as she watched them get up. She knew that voice very well. Of course, she'd have to recognize the person she had gotten in an argument just the day before. "Amber? Is that you?" "Eh?" Amber held her head a bit as she slowly turned to face Jenna and Alvin. "Jenna? What in the world are you doing here? And what's with that get-up anyway?" It was then that her eyes caught Alvin, giving him a rather annoyed look. "The hell Jenna? What's with this human?" Jenna paused, blushing slightly. "Ah...who this? Um...where do I begin?"
 
The air thickened as stress began to build, not one movement was made. A deathly stare, that sent chills down ones spine came from the girl. A cold lifeless stare, that of a possessed girl, it was clear she was. Yet Alvins stare was sharp, and penetrating, something like a beast glaring at it's enemy. His eyes seemed to be slightly more slanted, then before, at least from the position Jenna was in. Once Jenna spoke, he put his arm in front of her blocking her from moving ahead of him. Alvin stepped forward slowly his eyes never breaking contact with the Hitmonchan. It was strange he concentrated yet the world didn't spin, it didn't move, everything slowed. His senses dulled around him, his focus was on this person alone. The sense of battle, as some would call it, when facing down a foe of great power, one senses of what happened around dulled, as they focused on there enemy. As master swordsmen said, when in a intense fight, there was a moment when the blades seemed to stop. Alvin did see the figure begin to stir, his eyes shifted slightly to her. Battered and bused, she was clearly beaten pretty badly. It proved how much strength and will power she had.

Alvin made not a move to her but listened in, he took note of who she was. But at the moment that seemed to hold no impotence to him. The girl in front of him was more of a concern. Alvin took note of there little conversation, he wasn't surprised. It was at that moment things began to change.

"Yes 'Alvin' why don't you tell her? Why don't you tell her all about last night! How you gave into your dark and tam-" The Hitmonchan spoke in such a cold, and familiar voice. How she spoke as if she was there it was rather safe to say, that she was the same one from last night.

In a split second, Alvin had leaped into the fray, his fist colliding with the girls hand. "Jenna go now, get Amber out of here! All meet up with you later! Meet well meet where the last sun falls!" Alvin yelled at Jenna as he pushed with all his might, using his shoulder and whole body to ram the girl into a tree pinning her. Sharp pain developed as the girl began hitting him with her free arm.

"Dammit let go of me! Damn cheep trick! Get off! I will not fail because of you again!" The girl yelled as she continued pounding away at Alvin's exposed back. It was clear by the sound of her hitting him Alvin wouldn't be able to take much more of it like that.
 
Jenna winced slightly at the Hitmonchan's voice. It appeared that no matter who this person possessed, the voice was the same. this was no doubt the same one that had possessed Alvin last night. Jenna looked to Alvin as he moved in front of her, as if to protect her. "Alvin? What are you doing? Don't you know what can happen?" It was then that Amber had sat up. Her large ears resembled those of a Flareon. there was more than enough proof to prove she and Jenna were siblings. Amber was actually the oldest of the sisters, beating out Vanessa by a month or so. She was just not the most responsible or easiest to get through to. "Hmm? What's that Jenna? You seem to be speaking as though you're awfully familiar with this human. Why is that?" She gave Jenna a rather intense glare that sent shivers up her spine. Jenna knew very well how much Amber hated being around tamers, or humans for that matter. "Now's not the time for that! We need to get you out of here. You're in horrible shape!" Jenna said, quickly moving to her sister. She turned to see Alvin rushing at the Hitmonchan girl, telling them to run. amber grumbled softly to them. "Tch. You think I'm going to just run from this? I've got a score to settle here." She went to stand, but was a bit wobbly on her legs. Jenna quickly threw Amber's arm over her shoulder and started to move her away from the area, despite whatever protests she might have had. As much as Jenna wanted to stay and fight, something told her Alvin would be just fine. The trek took quite a while as Jenna brought Amber along. Pretty soon, they had reached where Alvin told them to. She stopped in front of the massive statue that she and Alvin would hang out a lot when she was masquerading as a human.

Amber was set against the statue, breathing heavily from her injuries. "What do you think you're doing dragging me out of there! You know I could have still continued fighting." Jenna sighed softly as she sat down next to her. "Don't you know when it's a good idea to retreat? Seriously, all you do is fight. You know how worried you make Eva?" Amber crossed her arms over her chest as Jenna circled to the other side of the statue. There was an amazing view of the sun and the town from here. It was just a nice place to sit and chat. This was probably going to be the last time in a while that she'd be here. If she was going to be out and about with Alvin, she'd take this in right now before they left. She then thought about what Alvin was going through right now. She really wanted to go right back and help him out, even if he had told her to get out of there. She couldn't help but be worried about him, and he was dealing with a possessed pokegirl here. Jenna sat back against the statue herself, wondering how things were going back home as well. Eva was sure to be worrying about Alvin and her two sisters being gone for so long. "Hey, you know you can't hide anything from me." Amber muttered from the other side. "I can see why you're hanging around with that human. Plus, I got enough from that Hitmoncham, but I can see they're possessed. Why you guys would be running into people like that is unknown to me." Jenna paused as she thought about it. Of course Amber would probably figure it out. She was a rather sharp person after all. "Well, I guess I can't hide anything from you. I guess you already know that we've been bonded, but I can explain everything." She was waiting for amber to come down on her, but she didn't hear anything. "Amber?" She moved over to the other side, only to find that she wasn't there. "Amber?! Where are you?"
 
It wasn't long after Jenna and amber had gotten what he thought was a good deal away he let go stumbling back. His back sore and in pain, a slight trail of blood, came from his mouth. Each breath labored, he had taken a good beating and she was relatively unharmed. Even so Alvin stood a bit wobbly but considering how beat up Amber was he was just fine. Alvin grinned, chucking a bit, as he watched the girl. This clearly pissed her off even more but Alvin couldn't help it. At the point pain is so great all you can do is laugh about it.

"Chi, I thought you would of learned from last night. The darkness that in cased you, when you blamed yourself and father, for what ever reason. That it was your fault, I am surprised how calm you are, you tamed the person's you cared for, own sister. How does it feel? To know that your body betrayed you and that person." The girl spoke as she shook off the feeling of being rammed. Something really didn't seem right, about him again. It wasn't the eyes or anything but she could of sworn she felt that, even a bit. But that wasn't right, during the possession the body could feel pain, but she never could. Did he really hit her that hard? Her master had told her to stay away from him, and focus on getting a girl from the village for his collection. But this was a chance she had to take, he... He interested her. Someone who could force her out, and perhaps even hurt her in a possessed form. That wasn't normal by a long shot, and for some reason she felt drawn to it. As if a longing for the pain, to be hit, to Feel! After death, all feeling had left her as one would expect. "Now tell me, why do you persist to get in my way? The master is doing this for the good of the city after all. Your little town has been suffering from the infrequence of tourists after all. This place was once a happy vacation spot, a place where romance could bloom. But slowly it died, when your people refused to build a arena. Then once upon a time a man from this town became the league champion. So proud and sure that people would come to the town of the champion, they built a arena, and people came, for a time at least. But your little arena had no real tamers, no battles, and most of all no fresh girls! So people over looked it once again, and your lovely town was rejected again, then came a rumor from places elsewhere. That there might be a Village of Pokegirls near the city! My master heard this and out of the good of his heart came to help, your town, become 'Modern,' and give it a abundant supply of fresh meat for games. Yet here you are, getting in my masters why while he try's to save your poor dying town. All your young are leaving and no one seems to want to come back. Don't you love your city? Don't you want them all to be happy and prosperous?" The girl spoke as she began to circle Alvin. It was clear she was trying to poke and prod him to find his weak points. It was easy to tell this girls specialty lied in mind games, like most ghosts. She had a good idea of his personallity from being in him, though she was only able to get bit's and pieces as she was subduing him, as she had her fun with Jenna.

Alvin glared at her as she spoke, he made a quick reply to the first part of her original comment. "I guess im just stupid like that, I don't learn all that quick!" Alvin spouted back before falling silent to the next part of her comment. He couldn't answer, he didn't know how it really felt. He supposed he was in shock, unable to comprehend what he had really done. All he really remembered was the feeling of the end. But this was no time for regret this was a fight, and this girl before him was a danger, not only to him, but everyone. As she went on he slowly became gradually irritated. So his thoughts were right, and that rumor brought him. But this self righteous act, of doing it for the town was a load of crap. Alvin figured his idea was to sell the girls to the town in order to integrate himself in, and slowly squeeze them dry. Yet then again what she said was true the town had suffered from, economical status for a while. There wasn't much in the way of income from outside the city, and it wasn't making things any easier. Not to mention it was true that many were leaving as soon as they could. Out of his entire school only three others actually intend to follow another path then a tamer.

So many new tamers couldn't get a pokegirl because the town had no new ones, and no one was ever willing to part with there family. Family's often tamed there own kin to leave, no mater how much this was looked down on it was allowed. Those people didn't look at the girls as anything more then objects. Yet for Alvin it was different, he had met one, spoke with one, a true one, one not shackled down by the powers of the city. There was no way he could look at things as they did, not after meeting Eva, and weather he liked it or not Jenna. "Yeah... It would most likely bring people here.... It would improve the economy of the town... But in the same moment we would sell our souls to the devil! I won't stand for it! You girls are more then toys in a game!" Alvin yelled back standing fully erect, no matter how much pain his back was in he glared at her.

She was speechless at what he had said. Was he for real? Did he really mean the words he said? How could that be? A human who believed they were more? Quickly she shook the thoughts out of her mind, he was lying! There was no way any human could be like that! They all lied! This pushed her more, driving her into anger, she swung, connecting square with his jaw, knocking him back. As he stumbled she rushed forward, wailing on him, forcing him back against a tree as she beat upon him. Sweat poured from her body, rage driving her, she released a fury of fists. A relentless assault, that just bounded against his practically unguarded upper body. She had given him no time to guard himself. She pounded away at him for what seemed like a eternity.

She watched him fall to the ground motionless. That heartless glare she looked down upon him as if he were another. She stood there for a while, panting her rage spent for the moment. "Pitiful, just like all of your kind, you can't do anything but try to lie yourself out of the things you get yourself into. Then again, who am I to point fingers? I am a slave of your kind, bound by your cruelty that killed me. It would be better if you all just died! Chi, I guess I better get back to following orders. Looks like your pet, and that other girl got away. Maybe all go try to find that Eva girl from your memory, that should be a wonderful punishment for you." The girl began to walk off seemingly in the direction that Jenna and Amber went, to the city.

Alvin had expected her to attack, but not with such vigor. He couldn't block her fists, each hit landing a bit harder then the last. At least that was how each hit felt. Each movement was a blur, for the first half, of her beating before he slowly began to lose consciousness. Her fists seemed to slow, the sounds fell silent to him, it was like a moment of peace, when pain began to fail him. When her beating came to a end he fell to the ground, limp, unmoving. He seemed to be in a great deal of pain but unable to feel it at all. He was semi aware, when she began to speak. He heard every word, slow and painful, he wanted to move. To stand and fight, he didn't want anything to happen. He didn't want Eva, Jenna, Amber, Luna, Vanessa, or anyone to suffer because of him. Because he couldn't stand up and fight! Anger boiled as he laid there, anger at himself, for being so weak. "I have to stand! I have to get up! I have to do something! I have to fight!" He began to scream at himself, voiceless to the outside world, and once more that voice, hollow, empty and distant, yet more familiar this time.

A strange and alluring voice, that seemed to be calling out to him each time it spoke. "Stand!" It called, and as sight began to return to him he found himself, limp, but on his feet.

The girl felt something, a feeling she remembered from that night. Those Piercing eyes on her back, slowly she turned. Her eyes began to twitch at what she saw, he was standing! She remained motionless as he did unsure what to do. Few would get up after a beating like that, even a possessed body, and he had gotten a rather good blow from Jenna the night before.
 
"What in the world?! Are you serious?" Jenna got up on her feet, looking all over the area around the statue. "What's that idiot thinking?" In that little time, Amber had somehow been able to get up and head back without Jenna noticing. How exactly she was able to do that evaded Jenna. She quickly left the site, heading right back to where Alvin was. Hopefully, he was still in one piece. She knew that Amber was just looking for her fight, but Jenna had to knock some sense into her, no matter what she had to do. Seriously, she was always out of the house in some fight. Vanessa was always talking about the risks of going out alone like that. She knew that her other sister Luna was a very skilled fighter, not so much with power like Amber. Even she was wise enough to stay close to the village. As Jenna always thought, "Brawn, but no brain." Jenna found herself in a mad dash for the area. She seemed to overestimate just how far she had to go. Carrying Amber all that way really took some out of her. Her shoulders were still a bit sore from the whole ordeal. Her eyes widened a bit as she caught Amber up ahead, and she was getting to her fast. "Hey! Amber, what do you think you're doing?! You're in no position to be fighting! You're going to rest now or I'll-!" Just as Jenna was about to catch her, she was stop dead in her tracks, though her arms and legs shifted forward a little. She had run straight into Amber's fist, which had connected with her gut. She let out a pained gasp as she dropped to the ground, holding her stomach tightly. Amber gave her a rather bored look. "Hmm? I think I'm in better condition than you right now.you need to stop leaving yourself open. that's why I always win." she said with a little smirk. She caught a glimpse at the mark on Jenna's shoulder, and she reached down to pull up the sleeve. The mark was fully visible to her now, though she didn't seem too surprised. "Hmph, thought so. She stood up again, stretching her arms a bit. "That's a rather odd symbol though. Never seen one like it." Without saying anything else, she quickly went off again, leaving Jenna gasping for air.

Amber continued on, stopping briefly to rest her legs. They were still a bit sore right now from the fight earlier. She grumbled softly as she sat back against a rock, gently massaging them. "Tch...what do I keep getting myself into?" she muttered to herself. She gently rubbed at some of the bruises over her body, each bringing a stinging sensation to the touch. "I've been gone from home quite a while. I've got a score to settle. I'm not heading back until that bitch goes down." She pushed herself up, taking a couple breaths before she continued, a little slower than before. she knew she was close after all. As she got closer, she could hear the familiar voices. From what she could hear, that human hadn't been done in quite yet. "Tough bastard." She slowly proceeded further, stopping as she caught sight of the Hitmonchan girl. What she saw next surprised her the most. Not only was this human still up, but he seemed so lifeless. She could see how bruised up and beaten he was, so how in the world was he standing? Pokegirls could take an equal beating and still continue. There didn't seem to be anything impressive about him at first glance. "What's he hiding?" She continued to move until she was behind them, and without warning she came out again, rushing the Hitmonchan from behind. "You're mine now." She got in low, clenching her fist tightly as she sent a vicious punch to the Hitmoncham's spine. Perhaps for a human, the force could easily cripple them. This was a possessed pokegirl she was dealing with, and it didn't make things easier that it was a Hitmoncham.
 
Something was off, how could he possibly be standing!? Not even a pokegirl would take that kind of beating and get up so soon! How! How! How could he have the strength.... no the will to get up! Humans of these days were weak, and frail, they let the girls do all the work for them! They fought for them, worked for them, died for them. So why!? Why did he stand? How could he!? So many questions raced through her mind. It was at that moment she realized it, the sensation flowing not only through her body, but the one she possessed.... Fear. The fear of the unknown, the fear of something doing something beyond understanding. A cold sweat dripped from her very core, she felt it, something much worse was coming. This was but the beginning.... It was at the moment she was heard Amber, it was even sooner, she could tell the girls spine was hit. Immense pain would of echoed through her if she could feel. A crack at best, she could still move, though there would be pain. Her eyes quickly returned to where Alvin was.

Alvin was silent and still, just as Amber though he seemed lifeless. His body limp his head hung low, hair a mess of dirt and sweat, it hung around his face hiding what everyone assumed to be a lifeless expression as his body. But that's wasn't what Alvin felt, it wasn't lifeless but black. All the pain was gone, not a single thing hurt, no sore muscles, no cracked or broken bones. He stood there, unfeeling for what seemed like a eternity to him. It was a short time before Amber attacked, that he moved even the slightly. Slow, weak, like a heartbeat, his body began to pulse. A slow odd movement grew more and more swifter. It was when Amber made her move that he felt it full force his body shot up looking right at them in a split second. He felt strange like his body was moving on it's own or... Someone else was moving it for him. At the very moment the Possessed Hitmonchan turned to look at Alvin he was right next to her. Alvin was even questioning how he moved. "Your in the brat." A calm, deep voice, much unlike either of his voices before came.

Before Amber could possibly react to counter, she would find something hard hitting the side of her head sending her tumbling. The force was much like the hitmonchan's yet more on the range of a Hitmonlee's kick power. Alvin waited no time before grabbing the Possessed girl's neck slamming her into the ground. Alvin stared right down at her a Ominous uncaring look that she would remember. Those piercing eyes, that strange feeling, It was what was behind her being removed from possessing Alvin last night.

A felling she had not forgotten came in a fury of colors. Pain, as Alvin gripped her throat, she felt as if not only was he suffocating her body but her as well! She began to thrash about, trying to get away to no avail. His eyes sent more fear into her, driving her to try harder, and not give up. Those sharp eyes of a beast, that seemed to glow as if, lights of a lavender fire. It was at that moment her masters voice entered her mind. "Cannot follow orders... No matter... You have served a usefulness.... Return Hime.... And rip it out... We don't need that trash..." Hime's eyes widened from the lack of air, and her order. Rip... It out.... She knew full well what that order meant. Being a Ghost type still bonded she could not resist that command. Opening the body's mouth as wide as it could, even unhinging the jaw. Hime Emerged, yet to her surprise Alvin didn't seem to stop her, yet watched her, like a beast waiting to strike. She said not a word but shot up, something following her. A screech, that penetrated the mind, filled the forest, a wailing so horrid, like a banshee. Slowly the sound grew worse, as a black and white object was pulled out of the body, it was full of pain sorrow.

It didn't take long before it entirely was out the screech grew louder till the thing was turned completely black. Taking the form of a girl, ghostly, just like Hime, it wasn't hard to guess what had happened. The girl had a mark, the Death Bond on her forehead, clearly showing she was doomed. After a swift movement from Hime, the two shot off into the sky, leaving the two there.

Alvin watched as his body moved on it's own, horrified by the brutality, he was going to kill her and wasn't able to stop himself! He had to stop himself, some how, he couldn't kill her, there had to be another way! 'Stop! Don't kill her!' He found himself screaming into the darkness. He knew no reply would come but he had to say it. Yet one did come despite that, it was the voice, "Wished.... To fight.... Kill...!" The voice was choppy like a haze on the T.v. The world rushed by once again before he was standing in the secret spot. Looking up at the Sakura tree, the shadowed form laying upon a branch looking down. It's eyes glaring right at him, as if looking straight through him. "Stop this! This isn't your fight! Stay out of it!" He found himself yelling, he was speaking more familiar with it then he though he would. This was around the time he stopped attacking as Hime had emerged from the body. Alvin and the form stared at one another, before it spoke. "So....Be....It...." It spoke before the world shattered, and pain filled his body, as he watched the gruesome sight of a soul being ripped from it's host. Alvin couldn't stand it, especially when the screeching started, without time to think he scrambled away to get away from the sound every move a pain. But he did it, getting to where it wasn't so unbearable that he thought his brain would melt.

He couldn't take it, all the things combined he began to throw up, unable to keep his focus around him. He did rise his head to watch them fly off, Alvin couldn't take it, he flopped down on his back, panting. He laid there for a short time before forcing himself slowly back up. Panting he made his way to his feet, wobbly but to his feet. Alvin slowly made his way to where Amber lay. Slowly he keeled down to see if she was alright. From what he could tell she was just out cold, and would most likely have a massive headache when she woke up. Alvin knew it wasn't wise, but he grabbed her arm slowly lifting both of them up, nearly dropping her at least four times. Even more wobbly with the extra wait, he began to walk using any tree, as something to lean on. He made a painfully slow walk. He was unsure how far he could get he could only hope for Jenna or someone to find them before his body gave out.
 
Amber winced slightly as her fist came in contact with the Hitmoncham's spine. She heard the horrifying crack from her spine, but she felt immense pain in her hand as well. That was just the downside of hand-to-hand combat. Causing damage to your opponents could come back and bite you in the ass later. However, her attack didn't seem to do much to the Hitmoncham. She growled softly as she continued to pound away at her, aiming mainly for the back of her head. Despite the sickening thuds, it didn't seem to get her anywhere, and her hands were numbing up a bit now. Before she could do anything else, she felt something collide with her temple, sending her hurling to the ground. She let out a pained grunt as she hit the ground, gripping her head tightly. Her vision had begun to waver a bit though as she soon blacked out. For now, her body lay limp on the ground while the battle continued not too far from where she lay.
--------
She had begun to get her senses straight after a while, but she was no longer on the ground. She had her arm slung over the human from earlier, being carried away just like Jenna had earlier. Amber grumbled softly at him, clearly not pleased that she was being carried off by this human. "You think I'm going to thank you for dragging me out here? I'm not at all thrilled that you got in the way." Of course, she was going past the point that she was knocked out during the fight. Still, one had to admire the beating she had taken from that possessed Hitmoncham. This would count as the first fight she hadn't won, but this wasn't how she wanted her loss to be.

A little bit ahead of them, Jenna was slowly making her way down the path towards them. She was still holding her stomach tightly with her arm as she trudged along. She spotted them up ahead and quickly went up to meet them. She sounded a bit out of breath, but it was mainly because of the pain in her gut. "Ah...looks like you guys turned out fine." She turned to look over at Amber with an amused look on her face. "Well, this looks like a familiar sight. I wonder what could have happened?" she said teasingly. Amber gave her a rather nasty look. "Can it. you're in no position to be poking fun at me wimp." Jenna smirked. "Ha! Even so, you should have listened to me. I can already tell that you were knocked out again. It's just my intuition speaking." Amber was clearly getting ticked off at her little sister. "Your intuition can take a hike. You think you'd be any better in that fight?" Jenna let out a little chuckle. "Hmm, not at all. But at the end of the day, I still look much better than you. Not a single bruise on this body of mine." The same couldn't be said for Amber who was really battered. It was a rare sight to see though. "Then come a little closer and you'll look just like your big sis." She growled softly as she reached at Jenna, but she moved around, circling around to Alvin's other side. She grabbed his arm gently as if she were in distress. "Ah! Save me! She's probably going to eat me!"
 
The sound of mid morning birds chirped all around them, as Alvin continued to stumble along. Amber was still out of it at this time as he walked, so all was silent. His vision seemed hazzy, as he continued to walk. It wasn't long before he could feel her string in his arm. He didn't care at the moment, if she was awake perhaps she could keep him awake some how. "Eva... Always said you could never admit... Defeat... Or say thanks..." Alvin stated, as he moved on from tree to tree. Compared to her, he seemed to be in a worse state. A trail of blood ran from his mouth, he was black and blue from what could be seen. No doubt he was worse below, he had no doubt at least three of his ribs could be cracked, even so he could get treated a lot easier then Amber could. The city wasn't well off but it had what they needed to easily heal him, in a bio tank. That would cost him a pretty penny but he had the cash for it. His father had always sent him quite a bit from when he was the champ. It was a few moments before Jenna appeared he began to believe he would fall over. Leaning against a tree he panted, it was easy to tell he was in pain, the weight of Amber was getting to be too much for his battered body.

It was when he had heard Jenna's voice did a spark of hope come. "I wouldn't.... say that...." Alvin commented in a staggering voice. Alvin spoke with a pained smile on his face, how he was glad to see her. Though what they were doing was not the best thing to do at the moment. He was on his last legs holding her and they were fighting. He watched the two of them bickering and was about to say something, when Jenna pulled his arm away from the tree. This was easy to say, made him lose his balance, he went falling pulling amber down face first into the dirt. He landed slightly spread out his arm held up behind him in a slightly painful manner. "Will you two.... Stop fighting... And concentrate on the matter at hand.... I don't think you can walk on your own amber, and I don't know I can... Matter a fact I think that broke another of my ribs..." Alvin spoke as his face was directly in the dirt. It was rather muffled but it could be understood. He didn't seem to be moving much beyond talking. "Jenna can let go of my arm.... It isn't in good enough shape as it is..." Alvin spoke his arm still in her hand, his shirt sleeve had slid down to his shoulder reveling more buses.
 
Jenna let out a surprised gasp as she pulled him down, bringing him and Amber down to the ground. She sat up after hitting the ground, clearly better off than the two of them were. They were in far too much pain to move around. Amber grumbled softly as she pushed herself and rolled over onto her back. It was a hell of a lot better than having her face full of dirt. She thought about what he had said just now. "Is this that friend Eva was always talking about?" Of course, when she was at home she sort of shrugged everyone off, but she did know everything that was going on. She just so happened to hear about this friend of Eva's, and she didn't expect them to be human. She had a little grudge against humans, especially tamers. Of course, most of the humans around there were tamers and the forest was a very popular place for holding pokegirl battles. She was annoyed mainly with how aggressive they were with trying to pursue her. While she put herself out in the open willingly, the actions of most tamers disgusted her. She had no intention of being bonded with any tamers because of things she had seen and people she had met. Of course, there were also personal matters that made her hate the tamers even more. It all happened when she was a lot younger, before she had 'fallen' actually. She was living a normal life with friends that she thought would stay with her no matter what. That all changed when she fell. Scared and confused, she went to them in search of help, only to find that they were now intent on taming her. Being who she was, she took the pokegirls and her former friends out.

So, every so often she left the village to defeat the tamers. "Bah, everything's about you isn't it?" Amber muttered to him. Of course, being the battle-happy pokegirl she was, she had a lot of respect for strength. He had taken quite the beating from that Hitmonchan, and then had some strength left in him to carry her out here. She didn't know what had happened since she was knocked out, but this little incident was enough to catch her interest. "So Jenna, you've gone ahead and gotten yourself bonded have you? Everyone always thought you'd be the first one if anyone out of all of us." she said. Jenna didn't seem amused, more shocked if anything. "W-wha? Everyone else thought that?!" "Well, you're obviously the only one who would somehow find themselves in those situations." Amber continued as she gently rubbed at her temple. Her headache was killing her. "I'm not all that interested on why it turned out like that, but don't do any other stupid crap all right?" Jenna crossed her arms over her chest. It seemed that when Amber tried to seem meaningful, she could still insult you. "Anyway, we need to get you two somewhere quick. Your injuries are serious, especially Alvin's. I'm in the best condition right now, but carrying you two everywhere is going to be a pain..."
 
Alvin knew nothing of her reasons for disliking him, but he had no doubt it was because of what he was. He held himself to blame for the sins of his race. When he caught her mutter he twitched, at that very thing. He had no idea why but that annoyed him quite a bit. He laid motionless, not making any comment to anything they said to one another. He had no place to say anything about this. How would he know what they all thought? But that all began to boil in him, she wasn't bonded by choice. He was the cause of it, because he couldn't take care of his own emotions he was possessed, and because of that Jenna was bonded to him. It was his fault not hers that she was bonded. "You have a nasty habit.... Of looking down on people.... It shows.... How weak you really....Are...." Alvin spoke in pain as he began to move. His fist's slammed into the dirt in front of him, Slowly he pulled himself to his hands and knees painfully panting. Dirt and sweat running down his body, when a pulsing feeling ran through his body. It felt as if it shook him to his very core, sending waves of pain through out him.

Alvin began to cough up blood. It didn't last long but left him there paining on what seemed to be his last legs. But slowly he made his way up to a standing position, refusing all help. He didn't stay standing long stumbling to the left colliding with another tree hard, he seemed as if he would slide down. But he remained standing, it was clear he was moving on will power alone. "More would cry.... If Amber was hurt.... Jenna... Take... Care of your.... Sister... Tamers... Are bound to find me.... Go to... Stromfront... Apartments.... Key... In my pack... Room... 305....Avoid... Getting caught...." Alvin spoke hagged and pained, as he removed his pack tossing it to them. Alvin hoped that Jenna would understand and not follow him. It was easy to say that he was thinking that they would question if Amber was bonded with how beat up they both were. If Amber was caught there would be too many questions and Amber would most likely be, 'Confiscated,' and bonded rather then returned. Alvin gave Jenna a pained smile before stumbling to the next tree, colliding with it. He continued doing this as he moved away from them heading in the direction of the town.
 
Amber was able to get up on her feet as well, though with not as much effort as Alvin needed. She shrugged off Alvin's comment about her. She could care less about what he was trying to say. All she really cared about right now was getting over her injuries. for all she knew, she could probably snag some potion off some passing tamer. "Hmph, not even a gesture of gratitude? I figured I'd get a sorry excuse for thanks for going back and helping out, but I didn't even get that. As for you, human, I'd keep to myself if I were you. You're trying far too much to be the hero, the tough guy. You think you'll accomplish anything in the state you're in? You're easy pickings if you get attacked by anything. Even I'd know when my own strength isn't going to cut it. I've just never had to do anything like that before." She cracked her knuckles and shook it off as she moved over to a nearby tree to lean against it. "How does that saying go? Before you point your fingers, make sure your hands are clean? Something like that." (Bob Marley haha.) She winced slightly at the sight of him coughing up blood. "Just saying. Anything you're not too happy about doing before? I sure have had some of those moments." There was a bit of silence from there. Both Amber and Jenna knew what she was talking about. Jenna ran over to Alvin as she started to get up, only to fall to the side against a nearby tree. She took his arm gently to help him up, letting her grip soften a bit since he was in so much pain. She could only wonder exactly what he was going to do, but she had enough faith in him to know he'd turn out just fine. She caught the pack as he tossed it to her, holding it against her chest. "Are you sure you'll be okay? You're really beat up you know." She was clearly worried about him, but Amber was clearly annoyed with the little exchange. "Come on Jenna. He's clearly not going to let you go along with him. Just do as he says."

As they watched him go off, the two of them started to head for the apartments. While they were walking, Jenna pulled out the key and put it in her pocket. The apartments were now in view, but they weren't in the clear just yet. "Ah? What are a couple gals like yourselves doing wandering around here?" they turned to see a couple people walking to them. They were clearly tamers due to the marks on their hands. Jenna was not too sure of what to do exactly, and tried to shuffle past them to the apartments, though she was stopped by one of them. "Trying to avoid us eh? think you'll be wandering in here without people like us trying to tame you huh?" Amber let out an annoyed grunt as he mentioned that. "Jenna get back here." she commanded. Jenna slowly moved back next to Amber, who had not moved at all from her spot. One of them seemed quite interested in amber especially. "Oh, I've heard of you. you're that feisty gal in the forest everyone's trying to get. Lucky us." Her brow twitched with annoyance. "What the hell'd you say?!" Her foot stomped down roughly on the ground as she took a fighting position. The two could notice some significant cracks in the ground under her foot. "Mind running that through me again?!" They suddenly seemed reluctant to talk with them, and the two of them rushed off. "Tch, we won't forget this you bitch!" They ran off and Amber continued to the apartments, wincing a little as she had a slight limp now. Her injuries were still getting to her after all. "Seriously, these tamers. At least that human with you wasn't drooling all over me at first glance. This the only reason they become tamers?" Jenna quickly followed after her, finding it hard to hide a little smile. As scary as it was to see her like that, the reaction from the tamers amused her a bit. "Really, when you're like that, you really scare Eva." Jenna said with a little smile. Amber shot a quick glance back to Jenna. "I'm not scary." she said bluntly. The look she gave Jenna gave her chills. "Y-yes...you are."
 
Alvin ignored her comments about a half hearten excuse for a thanks. He did stop for a momemnt half looking back at her a pained smiled upon his face as he felt like laughing. Yet he knew full well that would bring pains that would bring him to his knees, and he was unsure if he could get up again. As the pain had failed him now, he turned and moved back upon his way. 'Heh, "They say a hero can save us.... But im not going to stand here and wait."' Alvin thought to himself as he moved on. He did listen to her later comments more. Alvin looked back at her, A sharp glare in his eyes. "My strength may not cut it.... I may fall prey to something out here... I may not.... But..." Alvin muttered to himself as he descended out of sight. As he walked he found the world continuing to wave about. Alvin feared being over taken by the sensation, thus focused on a thought. He wasn't quite sure what the thought was, but it kept him moving. As he moved he began to hope he was closer to the city then he thought. As pain slowly drifted back in though the numbness, he felt it. The beating, as if a heart beat, the rush of blood through his body spiraled. The pain escalated, as the beating began to accelerate, 'W...whats...ha....ppening....'

Alvin thought as he saw two people, nether of which seemed pleased. Yet then again by this point the world around him turned black. As the world turned black the last thing he saw was two guys around his age running at him.

A large portion of time went by without his knowing three days to be exact. A low tone voice echoed in his head, or at least he thought. He couldn't quite make it out but he knew it had some impotence. Slowly Alvin began to awaken floating in a large glass tube, that seemed like something used for suspended animation. As his eyes fluttered open the world was heavily distorted partly because of the liquid, and another because he had just woken up. He could swear he saw Eva, but something was off. It was hard to put his finger on, for a while yet as she grew closer he could see why, the coloring was off. This girl had blue coloring, now he thought it was Vanessa, but that wasn't right, she had a darker color of blue. He couldn't make out much other then the coloring before the person went out. It was then he began to become more aware of his surroundings looking about, he surmised he was in the city, else he wouldn't be in such a thing. 'A bio tank... So they took me to a hospital.' Alvin thought as the liquid drained out of the tube all of a sudden. This was his first time in one so this was not something expected. Yet he soon discovered gravity worked as he fell onto the bottom of the tube.

Slowly the glass around him lifted up the rush of cold air and white washed over him. It was not a pleasant feeling to say the least.

"Well meh'boy you gave us all quite a startle! You came in here like a beat up rag doll we didn't think you were going to make it! Quite a surprise ya be there boy-O!" A voice from the other side of the room. To no surprise it was a man in a white coat. He was odd, not in his appearance, but the fact of how he spoke and his age. The doctor was quite young, so young he only seemed a few years older then Alvin. His manner of speaking also brought a great deal of confusion. "Well boy-o how ya be feel-in, a tad dazed I would expect. Well ya were brought in after two boys found ya at the edge of the forest. They say ya were most likely attacked by a wild one, who snuck inta town, A flareon type. Can ya confirm this is what happened ta ya?" The doctor asked he seemed to be as pleasant as one could be in a hospital Though he was quite unaware how eerie that made him seem.

The door suddenly swung open to revel a rather large women, with a scowl on her face. "Doctor Hallven stop ditching work, and playing with the patience you find interest in! There are many others who need you, leave this to us nurses!" The women yelled, he voice booming though out the hospital. She wasn't intending to but her voice was just like that. As she moved into the room, it was clear she was a Snorelax variant, grabbing Hallven by the back of his coat, and quite littrally dragging him out of the room.

"Well Boy-o I guess well be continuing this conversation later!" Hallven yelled as he was being dragged down the hall.

Alvin was in quite the daze after that little encounter, but the nurses came in prepping him, dressing him and helping him back up. Everything was happening a bit fast, by the time he realized what was happening he was fully dressed back into his now clean rather torn up clothes. He was sitting in a chair in the room with a discharge slip. It wasn't a surprise he was out of it. Shaking his head he began to regain himself. Getting up he began out of the room and down the hall heading out. He signed himself out, the daze slowly clearing as he moved. As he stepped though those electric doors, the rush of light nearly blinded him. As his eyes focused he found himself in a all to familiar place, mid town. It was almost mid day, he watched as people walked down the street, people he knew just getting out of school. It was odd, he was sure the teachers would allow him to be out for so long without any problems. Alvin slowly made his way though the winding city, all the sights seemed fresher, and more vibrant then before. even the people seemed to have more color then before. It was a odd thing to him, perhaps this was what it was like to travel.

To see new town, new places, everything so new, a slight sorrow seeped into him. "I wonder if I will ever really travel...." Alvin began to wonder as he found himself nearing his home. As his pace began to slow as he came into view of his apartment building. A huge towering building, it was clear that this was a rather packed space. But it worked for him, living alone as he did. Alvin began the slow ascent of the stairs, he dreaded what might of happened to his home. What he found him dreading the most was that Jenna and Amber were not there. If something happened to them he would blame himself for sending both of them into the city. Even so Jenna was tamed, and there was no way for her to be retamed at the current time. as he made his way to the door his dread deepened, as he jumped up grabbing a spare key from it's hiding place. Pushing it into the keyhole he unlocked the door slowly opening it. "Tadaima..." Alvin spoke as he walked in just awaiting any response or none.
 
The night before, Jenna and Amber had gotten into the apartment without any problems. Aside from the couple of tamers they ran into, nobody else had seen them. Despite Amber scaring them off, Jenna was still a bit worried about what could happen from that little incident. What if they were going to come back at them? That wasn't going to be a likely situation she thought. With some rest, Amber would be up and ready to punch something again. After locking the door behind them, the two had actually gone right to sleep, with Jenna looking for a bed, and Amber taking the couch next to the door. Jenna figured that she was only doing that in case somebody tried to break in. Seriously, she was always itching for a fight. Well, if Jenna didn't argue about it, then she wouldn't have Amber getting stingy about anything. Jenna climbed into the bed, getting very comfortable under the covers. As for Amber, she had plopped herself lazily on the couch with her legs dangling over the edge. Her body was still aching from the beating she had taken, but it would be fine if she just rested and didn't move too much. She couldn't help but wonder how that human was doing though. "Hmm...Alvin was it?" she thought to herself. "Tough bastard..." With that final thought, she had drifted off to sleep.

For the next few days, not much had really happened, though Jenna was constantly wondering when Alvin would be coming back. Of course, the last time they saw him he was pretty beat up, almost unable to keep himself upright. Jenna insisted on going out to look for him, but Amber wouldn't allow her to go out herself. She figured if Jenna had went and gotten herself bonded, she might have some problems going out alone like that. And so, Amber would tag along, mainly to work off the soreness that still remained in her body. They looked just about everywhere they could to find him, and while they could have dropped by the village, it was a good idea for Jenna not to return. Amber herself didn't feel like heading back either. their searches all went without any luck, and so they would return to the apartment. For food, they would just nab whatever was in the fridge. Amber seemed to have quite the appetite from all her fighting and such. There wasn't a moment that Jenna didn't see her snacking on something. the night before Alvin was coming back, Jenna stayed up a bit longer just to see if he would return soon, but after some convincing from Amber, she went off to bed. amber once again chose to sleep on the couch. It was surprisingly comfortable for her after all.

Morning came along and the two of them were still fast asleep, sleeping comfortably. As Alvin walked into the room, Amber had not stirred a bit, though the sight of her right there might have surprised him a little bit. Her chest rose as fall as she slept. This was a rare sight for anyone to see: Amber fast asleep like this. She actually looked really cute like this, when she wasn't out fighting. Jenna however, had heard him, and she got out of bed to greet him. Her hair had been ruffled up a bit, so she looked a little odd appearing before him like this. "Ah! Alvin, you're back! And it's good to see you in such good condition. How'd you get fixed up so quickly?" she asked. Jenna's comments had actually gotten Amber to open one eye to look at them. Choosing not to sit in the odd position on the couch any longer, she sat up with a soft yawn. Her body was really sore all over, but for the most part, she could manage. Jenna was still feeling the affects of Amber's punch from the night before. Amber cracked her knuckles loudly as she got up and stretched. She gave a lazy look over to Alvin as she stretched her arms over her head. "Hmph...so you're back." Of course, it was back to the old Amber everyone knew, but she seemed a little less hostile towards him this time.
 
Despite what others might think, Alvin wasn't entirely surprised by Amber being there. He had hoped that the two of them remained in the apartment at all time. Yet then again, he knew Jenna well enough to know that wasn't going to happen, and what he had seen of amber she wouldn't either. It was rather strange to see Amber like that, she looked almost innocent, much different then her actions in the forest, which only seemed like it was only yesterday. Alvin moved forward hovering right over her head looking. A slight grin upon his face as he brushed a few strands of hair away from her face. "You all share quite the family resemblance..." Alvin commented before her moved a bit away to find Jenna. He was sure she was bound to be somewhere around here. It wasn't even two seconds later she had came out, clearly just out of bed. Jenna would find him in a fully recovered body if not improved. Alvin's physical side seemed a little more toned then before, one thing he suspected was a effect of the Bio tank. Alvin smiled at her placing his hand on her head ribbing softly, his eyes closed and a gentle smile appeared upon his face. "It's good to see you too Jenna, that it is." Alvin spoke, he was glad that she was well, she seemed to of lacked a bit of sleep, but that was it. Before he explained how he had returned to normal in such short time Amber began to stir.

His eye's quickly sifted to her watching her carefully, in a rather calculating manner. He was known to do so of anyone he saw as a threat, and yet the only reason he saw her as this was because he had heard of her known violence streak and her being in a house full of breakables. Her comment did annoy him, quite a bit, she was in his house, she was sleeping in his house, and no doubt had been since he had been incapacitated. Not to mention was eating what food he had left at home, which did make him think he should of gone shopping before he returned home. He did take note, of that for later, though he was sure he should go shopping for at least Jenna. He figured he would have to get Amber another outfit at least, from the looks of it, both of them were still in the clothes they were during the fight. "That's rich, considering where you are 'Amber.' Considering your still in my home, and have eating my food, no doubt, and using other basic needs and wants." Alvin seemed to give her a sharp glare, even so it wasn't entirely hostile. It was more of reply in the same manner she had set. Sighing he turned his attention back to Jenna. "I am better thanks to modern technology. You see we 'humans' have advanced in research of our Biology enough that we can accelerate the healing process greatly, with modern technology. Yet they have not entirely perfected the treatment of you pokegirls. Yet that is mainly because they don't really care, they have gotten enough to do such things as potions, which are just small bursts of liquid healing agents that can be applied to us. Though it has a much weaker effect upon you because of the fact that you carry the 'beasts' genes. It is unable to heal greater wounds like broken bones and the such." Alvin spoke in a rather authoritative tone, as he explained. Considering the day and age, he was extremely well informed for someone of his age, yet that was to be expected from the fact his goal was to be a researcher. Alvin did think back to the doctor he was a bit well informed, and it did spark his curiosity why, then again what did it matter.

"Well now, seeing as your still here amber it is safe to say that Vanessa and Eva have no idea of what had happened. Which also means that I have less to worry about for now, and it is also safe to say no one followed you back to the village. Thankfully that means Eva, and the others are still safe, for now at least. But that won't last long, it's been three days, so there's bound to be more of those ghosts out there, possessing pokegirl's or just searching for your village. But what disturbs me more is they know exactly who I am, and the two of you are. They will be bound to follow us, so were going to have to watch our backs else they will catch us off guard. I do hope the both of you thought about this and remained inside the entire time I was gone." Alvin spoke in a clam tone he made it clear that he doubted they had. Alvin took a deep breath as he looked around the room to see what had been moved, if anything of impotence had he would know. Subtlety's of people looking though his things, it wasn't the first time he ever thought he had problems of people doing such. Being the son of a Champion people would often invade his home trying to steal something to steal.
 
Jenna gave a little chuckle as he patted her head. She had been worried sick about him since the incident in the forest, and it was good to see him in tip-top shape once again. "Geez, you know how worried you made me?" she asked, giving him a gentle punch to his shoulder. Although, what seemed gentle to her may have been a bit harder for him. "Modern technology huh? I sort of envy you then. You were pretty beat up when we last saw you, and now you look good as new." Amber wasn't exactly as pleased to see him, more so impressed at how the tank had fixed him up. She seemed to calculate him as well, much like he had for her. For her, it wasn't for people she found a threat. It was usually just for people that gave her sass back. And boy, he had plenty to give to her. She gave a slight grin as he addressed her by her name, unlike her, who preferred 'you' for now. "Rich indeed. I won't deny taking full advantage of your hospitality, since you've got plenty of good stuff here. I figured I'd make myself at home after you offered to have us stay here. However, you should also offer your gratitude for me your gratitude for having looked over the place in your absence."

Of course, this was pretty much true. Whether Alvin believed her or not, she had been guarding the house, especially at night. From what she could see, this was a popular place for thieves to drop by. It was very likely the fact that he was the son of the Champion. In fact, only last night there was someone that had tried to break through one of the windows. Unfortunately for them, it happened to be the window above where Amber was sleeping. She had woken up, not at all pleased with the disturbance. She had given the thief a good glare to send them off. A glare from her was bad enough, but it was most likely worse with her lack of rest. She almost felt bad for the guy. However, she was like this when she was at home as well. Turning her attention back to Alvin, she crossed her arms over her chest. As he was clearly aware of, the girls' outfits weren't in the best condition, especially for Amber. There were numerous rips in her clothing, and if Alvin looked closely he could catch a glimpse of her bra and underwear. She didn't seem to mind looking like that, though it would certainly be odd for him. She didn't really seem to notice.

Amber let out a bored sigh as he continued. "Of course I haven't returned. I'm not quite in the mood to head back anyway. Even if I did go back, I wouldn't mention anything about what Jenna's been doing. That clearly wouldn't go about well with Vanessa, and the last thing I need is another lecture from her." In fact, when Alvin first came to the village with Eva, Amber had been receiving one of those lectures. Jenna finally spoke up once again. "Well, I have been staying inside just to wait for you, but I always hear Amber leaving at some point." Amber gave her an annoyed look. "You make it sound like a bad thing. I'm simply working off a little tension. Either way, Jenna's filled me in on this little incident you guys have gotten into. Trust me, I'm not letting them get near the village at all. Of course, I'll be doing the fighting in place of Jenna. She's not quite the fighting-type anyway." Jenna was a little annoyed at that comment. "You only say that because I haven't beaten you yet. I'm more than ready." Amber shrugged it off and Jenna turned back to Alvin. "So, are we going to be heading out now? We have to prevent this as soon as possible."
 
Alvin chuckled a little back at her, he could tell she was worried. It was a touching thought that she worried about him. He was in quite the tip top shape, he felt renewed as he could. "Im sorry to of worried you Jenna." Alvin spoke ruffling her hair a bit more. He felt her punch but for some odd reason it didn't feel quite normal. It felt softer for some reason. He figured she just went easy and pushed it out of his mind. As she continued on about his recovery he pulled out a slip, from his pocket, that one of the nurses had slipped in there. "Well it says here that I was released three weeks, and three days before scheduled release without rehabilitation. So I was supposed in the tank for a month." Alvin spoke in a rather bland tone. He seemed kind of blank to the fact that he recovered at a rate far beyond that of usual people. Never the less he ignored that fact at turned his attention to Amber. His blankness proceeding through out what she had said. "You seemed to of missed the point completely." Alvin stated, unable to stop himself from cracking a smile. Amber was no undoubtedly going to be pissed.

Alvin had in a way manipulated her into doing what he wanted. "I sent you here to be the houses, and Jenna's guard dog, and you did quite well, might I add." Alvin chuckled a bit as he thought about it. It was amusing to think of her as a guard dog. Alvin did take note that it meant people tried to get in. Despite his cheerful outlook he was calculation internally, that meant someone was looking for something. Was it someone trying to find out where his father was or perhaps a clue to where the village was? Alvin did take note that she was conscious of her current appearance in front of him. He wasn't entirely paying attention to that at the moment but given time he was sure he would of. He was glad that she had enough brains not to go back, then again about why she didn't return but him at a bit of annoyance. He could tell it was a good reason, if this was any normal situation. He had already seen how Vanessa was and really rather not get a lecture from her. He sighed when Jenna spoke about Amber leaving the apartment, he found himself muttering to himself. "Amber it's as they say about you, you don't think ahead. With you leaving without any sort of disguise they would find you, and if they haven't already they know where we are. Then again they might know either way from me returning home. Though I was sure to lose anyone one my trail the best I could. Though with someone like you who practicably begs for a fight, I doubt you did." Alvin spoke it seemed as if he was just trying to knock her down. Yet that wasn't what he was doing, it was rather his perspective of it. Alvin did feel relieved that she knew of there little situation.

Which did make things easier to work with. As Jenna asked him what they were going to do now he was already in deep thought about the subject. "Well as it stands, this is a informational war, they most likely know quite a bit on me, but they know next to nothing on you two. They won't attack us in plane sight so as long as we avoid getting separated and going to secluded areas we should be safe for now. I doubt they will take aggressive action against us this early in the game. We know what they want yes, but I doubt they will want to alert the Authority. Yet then again they may be working with them, but they still will not want to alert the public. Which is most likely the reason why they weren't there when I awoke from the regeneration flask.... So our current goal is information gathering. Yet before we get to that, I believe we should go shopping first, were going to need disguise for later use and the two of you could use more suitable clothes." Alvin explained the current situation with a clear and calm tone. He was shown to be a calculating type and perfectly stable during situations that most people would panic in. Scratching his head he headed into his room begging to ruffle through the clothes he had. He had to give Amber something to wear over her current clothes. How she was now would attract more attention then if she wore something of his. He came back with a old shirt, shorts and a belt. "Put these on, they will have to do till we get you a new outfit. Jenna you should be fine how you are now, till we get new clothes. We need to get food, clothes, and hopefully hear some rumors." Alvin stated with a grin, he had a plan laid out already.
 
(You know, I almost put something in my post about her being a guard dog. XD)

Just him cracking that smile of his was enough to tick her off. Of course, what he said after didn't help much. While she could easily pound his face in, she figured there was no point in using that kind of method against him. In a way, this form of exchange between them was just fine with her. "Hmph, if you wish to think of it that way. Of course, I wouldn't be giving names for those you don't own. Feel free to call Jenna whatever." Yet another bit of salt in the wound. "Of course with a reputation such as yours, it must be a bitch having to fend these people off yourself." She slumped back onto the couch lazily, cracking her neck a bit. "You should act far more grateful than that. As it stands, I've done a far lot more for you, than you for me, whether I felt like it or not. either way, I think I've gotten my compensation with the food you so willingly provided." She shot him a menacing glare to meet his annoying grin. "And quit your whining about everything I do. So what if I went out for a bit? It's not like anybody saw me." The way she said it didn't sound too convincing though.

Jenna wasn't all too sure how he had recovered so quickly, especially when he explained that he had been released much earlier than anticipated. Perhaps it had something to do with those previous incidents, like when she had confronted him that night. She wasn't at all pleased with Amber's comment about her. there was a big difference between being tamed and being his property. She turned back to Alvin as he brought up the strategy. "Informational war? Well, I suppose it would be a good idea to get as much information as we could. We never know if someone around here might know something that'll help us out a lot." Jenna also noticed how messed up Amber's attire was, and was about to say something witty before Alvin came back with the change of clothing for her. She bitterly accepted the clothing, moving to another room to change. When she came back, it was very much like Jenna. the shirt was far too big on her, and the belt had to be put tight around her waist to keep the shorts from falling. She was clearly not amused with how ridiculous she looked, though she knew Alvin would get a kick out of it. "Would you happen to have a hat or something?" Amber asked, pointing up at her ears that stood proudly atop her head.
 
"I do no own Jenna nore do I ever intend to. Unlike your seeming thought of me, I personally dislike the situation of this world. If I really saw her that way then wouldn't Eva of been tamed a long time ago? You think as little as you should speak." Alvin seemed to take a great deal of annoyance from that very comment. Given the relationship between him and Eva, even Amber would be able to tell she stepped over the line with that one. Yet he expected no retribution for her comment. He took no heed to her comment about it being tough on him fending off people. It wasn't at all, it was that entire reason he was as well fit as he was. "If you look in my room there are two bamboo swords, and two real ones, I am proficient in nitōryū, Im also proficient in hand to hand to be expected. So it isn't actually a problem, and less and less people have tried to steal anything since my father disappeared. Now there mainly just looking for a clue to where he went." Alvin stated blandly it wasn't for the reason he was annoyed. It was more from it being a generic comment to him. He heard it often from so many people, it became a redundant thing. Her comment about how he should be grateful then that. "Really little pup, you seem to of still not gotten it though your thick head, But I saved you life, and made sure they didn't get where the village is.... If that ghost would of possessed you, you would be just like that lifeless corpse in the woods, and floating around someone in constant misery. So do what is bound to be both mine and Jenna's benefit and keep your mouth shut until you have something that is actually productive to say." As Alvin spoke his voice did not raise, and he did not yell. But it was clear she touched a nerve once again. It was clear though during what he said there was a great deal that disturbed him by the outcome. He was glad that Amber was knocked out at the time, else it would give her a great deal of nightmares. He made no comment after that, when he went into his room.

It was after this he talked back to Jenna. "Yes that is all we can do if we don't know our enemy we can't fight them." When amber actually asked about a hat he thought about it, there was nothing that would be of use. All he had was baseball caps and a whole lot of good those would be. "Hmmm nothing of use, either way, your not the only one with that hair color so you should fit in enough." Alvin spoke he had clearly cooled his head. He did admit, wearing such made her seem far less menacing and a lot more like, he didn't know, a actual girl? "Either way lets go we need to get this out of the way, so we can get back. A good deal of information can be got by just me, and we want to go out while it is still day light." Alvin spoke finding himself muttering about the fact he was going shopping with two girls as well. Then again these two were not the most Fashion conscious of the lot, so he doubted he had to worry about them going haywire in the store wanting to buy fifty pairs of shoes, or clothes. Alvin took no time leading them out, and away form the apartment building. He put on a strong front, acting cheery as it was just a usual outing. But he kept a eye out for anything strange. It wasn't long before they were on the main street of two. Shops lined both sides, going in and out of town. They ranged from clothes, food, to accessory, and such. It was often refereed to as Market street.

"If you see clothes you like give me a heads up girls and well stop in." Alvin spoke with a smile, he seemed perfectly content. It was a bit creepy to see how well he was able to fake being happy. Especially after how he acted in the apartment with Amber.
 
Amber didn't change her expression all throughout his little speech. She could care less with what he was saying to her. She just spoke as she saw it, nothing more, nothing less. However, the comment about Eva intrigued her. Why had she suddenly been brought up? Of course, she had no knowledge of him coming to the village with Eva that day, nor with all the drama that ensued shortly after. "you've been hanging around Eva also huh?" she thought to herself. She figured that if she said something on the topic, she'd get some more of his ranting. Geez, she had to deal with some really talkative people. She figured he and Vanessa would hit it off quite nicely. Since Jenna had been sleeping in his room for the past few days, she was aware of the swords he owned. Amber of course had no interest in such a thing. "Tch, you talk too much. Skip all the pointless details and just say you can protect yourself all right? And as for that, I would hardly call that saving my life. I don't know what was up with you that time, but you didn't seem to be aware of what was happening all of that time. a little pup huh? I'll be more than happy to show you just how little I am." she muttered, already heading toward him with a clenched fist. She probably would have swung at him if Jenna hadn't gone in front of her.

It had taken a little while for the tension to die down. Jenna had broken the silence after a while. "well that's true, though I can't help but wonder if anyone will really know about these ghost-types. I'd think that if anything happened it would be reported already." She turned to Amber, who was still wondering how to fix the ordeal with her ears. They blended in quite nicely with her hair color, so it wouldn't be very noticeable. She wasn't too amused with the way he was looking over her in that outfit. she didn't know what he was thinking, but she didn't say anything about it. She'd at least go along with it until he bought her a different outfit. As they hit the town, anyone could see that they stood out just a bit. They soon reached Market Street, and it was quite surprising to see how many shops were around. Different food booths were around as well, which seemed to get Amber's attention more than the clothing shops. Amber already began to wander to the closest booth, while Jenna moved to the window of one of the clothes shops. "Hmm? There's a lot of cute stuff in here." she said, looking over to Alvin. "Is it fine if I take a look in here?" The store itself was solely woman's clothing. It may have been a bit odd for him to tag along with her inside.
 
Alvin could tell she was just toning him out. Words fell upon deaf ears, as he expected them to. He was unaware that she had no idea of him going to the village and such. Being that she had said she was filled in about the situation and to him that was a big part of it. He wasn't exactly being all that talkative considering the situation, most people would be ranting far worse then him. Alvins eyes seemed glassed over as she made a comment about him not being aware of what happened. He was entirely aware but not in control. A little fuzzed voice came and spoke one word, 'Kill.' It was clear that Alvin ignored it as he turn away. The more bothered he got the clearer the voice seemed to be. This was a helpful piece of information. "A pup shows it's anger by lashing out a dog knows how to bite it's tongue." Alvin spoke hearing her mutters he moved enough so Jenna could prevent a brawl in the apartment. It did take a little while for tensions to die down Alvin wasn't one to brood over things too long. At least not things like this.

"Were a small town, so the police force isn't all that great, and I doubt they would really bother with ghost type incidence unless they got bad. They would normally leave such to passing tamers who want to get some practice in. But we can't actively seek them out, we just have to listen, if we are found looking for them, there going to come looking for us." Alvin explained to Jenna specifically, he knew that Amber was absolutely useless in this sort of situation. It was a wile before any of them really talked again. Alvin was quite annoyed that amber was wandering off once again. He was clearly annoyed by this, but he didn't want to leave Jenna alone. It was then she spoke about going into a shop. He didn't want to follow though he knew he should. But he had to go get Amber, and he knew she knew the city well enough. "Alright, Here keep a hold of this if you find things you like, use this to pay for them. They won't ask they will just slide it through and send you on your way. Just wait here and all bring that idiotic puppy back here." Alvin stated, he was fully aware that calling her a pup, or puppy was irony in it's own, being he was younger then she was. But then again he seemed to be older then her at least. Alvin had placed a card in Jenna's hand before heading off after Amber. When he reached her he snatched the back of her shirt yanking her back. "You idiotic little puppy do you not understand 'stay together.' We have enough to worry about without you wandering off! I swear, your as tin headed as can be." Alvin stated as he began to quite literally pull her back to the store.
