There is a strange presence here…; WildKat and Ryojin

Brianna listened with increasing interest as the man explained exactly what he was offering to her. She had always loved learning about Pokemon, and often wondered what it would be like to work as a researcher... And he was extending the opportunity to her, just like that.

And Heaven knew, if she could learn to predict her opponents moves like that, she would rarely be defeated in battle. Her Pokemon would become stronger, smarter, they'd never have to suffer any losses like she recently had.

The benefits of the offer were nearly making her head spin, but what was the catch? Surely she would be sacrificing something to acheive this greatness. She just couldn't figure out what...

She took a deep breath and thought it over again and again. She hadn't been a part of team since... Well, since Team EnergyWave had been destroyed. And she missed that sense of belonging that she once had.

Still, something about Ryojin wasn't quite right. For goodness' sake, why was everything so confusing?!

"I-I don't know about joining a team again..." she began, trying to keep herself from trailing off as soon as she had started, "But that's very kind of you to offer. I think I would like working as a researcher..." She said her last sentence more to herself than anyone as she removed her original Poke'Dex from her belt and looked it over, her gaze seeming to stare off into a completely different realm as her fingers traced it's casing.

"Hmm..In anycase,the offer is always open of course,and if you like the poke'dex so much how about you start a little bit of research your own?" The male had spoken with inquiry in his voice..as he would have seemed to withdraw his own hand before speaking again.. "Even if you don't want to join,doesn't mean you couldn't enjoy the chance of doing some research with me from time to time ..." The male would have simple shifted his eyes directly to the female character infront of him,standing over her gently while he would have simply waited for a response..

But in the meantime..

Toxicroak had walked up the corridors to find the Riolu walking through out the upper hallways,walking pass him Toxicroak gave a blank stair as if it were telling Riolu.."Mind your own business"Then turning its head forwards it continued to walk down the hallways going back to the furthest Corridor in search of the towels that its trainer so desperatley had needed.

Brianna slowly grinned as her face lit up. "Really? I mean-- I think I would like that... even though this place still creeps me out, I would like to learn what it's like to be a Pokemon researcher." she seemed to stammer in her answer, still trying to grasp the reality of what she was being offered.

A part of her wondered if it was all too good to be true... But then again, maybe Ryojin needed an assistant researcher? Maybe he was having a difficult time finding one who could handle his... ominous style. Whatever the reason, there was no harm in tagging along, at least for a little while. There was no telling how much she could possibly learn from this dark man.

If Raylen were there, he would've shuddered at the thought. But he was dealing with his own problems...

When Toxicroak walked past the Riolu nearly leaped ten feet into the air before bracing his back against the wall, trying to get away from the Poison type as it shot him a glare. Raylen gulped audibly and scooted along the wall until he thought he was a safe distance away, then hurried around the corner, out of Toxicroak's sight. He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the atmosphere change after leaving the presence of the other Pokemon.

Again, he was reminded of what a bad idea this whole thing was...

"Hmm..You seem to be in deep thought about this yet,you said before that you would enjoy to do this,so there must be somethin conflicting with your thoughts,you mind telling me what this is?" The male would have said analyzing her facial structures and movements without hesitation,Ryojin was relatively good at that,seeing as he had dedicated his whole life to understanding common sense,thought process and emotions....

The male would have then shifted his head about to the ceiling staring upwards as he would have then begin to speak.."You would have to get used to it,but in a short time it will all become second nature,and I have several bases set up for places to train and to study with pokemon,it'll be relatively fun ...the only part that isn't fun is the long hours,but they're a price to pay to see your work unfold..." The male would have seemed to have a bit of intrest in his voice ...

Toxicroak had came back down the corridor,walking through the dark halls seeming to look for the Riolu,but didn't find it,so it assumed that it must have just went away and so did he,besides he needed to get those towels back to the trainer of his intime,before he got cranky and had to spar him again,just thinking about sparring his trainer while he's not holding back sent shivers down HIS spine and from the looks of this Toxicroak it would take alot more then some fancy look to creep him out ...

After realizing how easily she was being read, Brianna's gaze dropped to the floor as she shuffled her feet sheepishly. "I know I would enjoy researching Pokemon. I-It's just that... I keep waiting to hear some sort of a catch. You couldn't really be offering me this opportunity without expecting anything from me..?"

She slowly glanced back up at Ryojin, getting another chill upon meeting his deep, crimson gaze. Hopefully that would be something she would get used to, because she wouldn't be able to stand getting shivers every time she even saw the man. Although... his odd red eyes did strangely remind her of her Riolu's ruby gaze.

But her Riolu's eyes seemed a bit softer... more caring.

And being such a caring Pokemon, Raylen continued his search for the distressed Pokemon.

There were so many corridors, he felt hopelessly lost. If only there wer some way to map the place out... Or maybe all he needed was a bit of encouragment.

At that moment, he became aware of another presence. The Riolu whirled around and saw another Haunter, laughing at him as it watched Raylen run away, screaming.

"Hmm..I must confess,there might be some difficult things that might arise if you do,happen to do research with me,you see I have to fund alot of companies to keep my technology intact,its the only way to continue my research,other then that I'd be stuck using rocks and notepads for the rest of my life but other then the occasional money problem..There's no catch.."

The male would have seemed to shift his head up watching Toxicroak slowly re appear into the room,extending his arms forwards to toss a towel towards my direction,while Ryojin then shifted his hands outwards gripping the Towel he would have seemed to wipe his face with it before putting it around his neck,letting it sit there as the male would have then begin to head for the elevator again.."Come,we'll go bac to the area where it is more comfortable so we can talk about this issue.."

Nodding in what seemed to be respect, Brianna didn't speak another word as she once again followed Ryojin to the elevator.

Strangely, she almost felt as though she had let the man down by not accepting his generous offer right away. He was not only giving her an opportunity to do something she loved, but he was also giving her a revolutionary invention of his, that being his Poke'Dex, and on top of it all she would learn new, amazing ways to battle.

Brianna let her thoughts stew for a bit as they waited for the elevator to ding. She tapped her foot insecurely before finally gathering up the will to ask the question on her mind. "If you don't mind my asking... What was it that made you want to do this kind of research? O-or, I guess you could say I'm asking, what exactly is your dream?" It seemed to be a simple enough question. She was curious, was he aiming to help inferior trainers? Did he want to totally change the way Pokemon battles were done? She zipped her lip as she awaited his answer, if he would even give one.


Surely that Haunter was long gone by now... Raylen had been running for quite some time now, and he no longer sensed the ghost Pokemon's presence. He panted and leaned against a wall, slowly sliding down to a sitting position to catch his breath.

And then he felt it again. The distressed aura seemed to be all around him, pressing against his own soul-- it was so strong! He could almost feel what the Pokemon was going through...

The Riolu rose up and took a few steps in a circle, trying to figure out where it was coming from. It seemed to be just on the other side of the wall...

.." With this I can raise enough money and have enough power to widely renouned through out Torae,that and I want more respect from some of these people around here..It's been tough working and living with nothing and now that I have enough money to set up laboratories and renevations for homes to accompany my teams,doesn't mean I want to stop now,I want for all of them to reap in the same success as me and to understand pokemon for what they are..Complex creatures.." The male would have spoken,although his thoughts where much more darker then this,he would have only told the base of his story,hoping it would have been deep enough of an answer to quench here thirst for inquiry,the males eyes seeming to shift to the door as it would have Binged,then opening...

The male and his Toxicroak seemed to step out of the elevator walking directly towards the lower level corridors,seeming to walk through corridor seeming to have came into the Living room area,sitting directly onto the main chair that had faced the door, to the side was three couches one between two that had layed on the sides of the area,the male would have seemed to look at the female beckoning her to sit in the chair facing him..

Respect from the people around here...

Brianna couldn't help but sense bitterness in his answer. She wondered if he had had some bad experiences here in the Torae region... Maybe that was what seemed off about him. Maybe he just had a dark past? If that was the case, she wasn't going to force it out of him. She respected the fact that people weren't going to discuss such personal matters with others.

When they stepped into the comfortable room, Brianna took a moment to enjoy the warmer temperature. She hated how cold it was down in that stadium. Ryojin gestured that she have a seat, and she quickly obliged, taking a look around the room as she let herself sink into her chair.

And then there was a brief silence again. Brianna was unsure of what to say, resulting in an awkward feeling due to the quiet. Her mind continued to race with thoughts of what the man was willing to offer to her. It was simply mind-blowing.

"..This is my relaxation room...As you can see the chairs ar accomodating and its very silent here,plus all the books are behind the door which is located behind this chair...I sit here and study the emotions and sociology of the pokemon network,from all Generations From First to the recently discovered Fifth..." The male would have said waving his hands about as he would have spoke in a rather intelligent manner to the female infront of him...

But in anycase..The male would have ringed a simple bell by the push of the button located upon his seat and within fifteen minutes there was an alakazam awaiting the male...The male would have spoken .."Please do get the tea ..Im quite thirtsty'' He looked to the female as he would have spoken .."May I offer you some tea also..? Or Maybe even Water Or Juice..?" The male would have spoken in a rather Generous tone...
