Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dexed walked into the park with both Reine and Damien on his side, strolling casually until he suddenly noticed a gathering of what looked like a parade of the cutest little things. "Umm, whats happening?" he said wide eyed and confused, not realizing it was the day of a festival. "Umm, maybe we should leave. I feel kind of out of place here," he said as he stared around.

"What are you talking about, this is the perfect place to be," said Reine, pushing Dexed out the way and staring at the festival as it was the most beautiful thing in the world.

"Whats up with her," said Damien, rolling his eyes as he looked at Reine.

"Theres a cute pokemon contest going on, I guess I will have to enroll her and COLOR "REINE" THE "WEEDLE" FABULOUS!," said Dexed with almost a sigh as Reine waddled up to the parade with excitement.

((If I wasn't supposed to post yet or if I did it wrong, please tell me ;_ wink )

The same chill that encased the dark trainer spilled into the air around her. Crimson eyes glanced around, slightly in distaste in the while thing. But she had an idea of whom she would toss out. The small pokemon was just dripping 'cute'. Given to her surprisingly... A pale hand flashed beyond the black abyss that was the folds of their cloak a pokeball snapped into sight.

"Diantha, Shadow!" Called the eerie voice of the trainer as the ball popped open to expel a gusher of what could have been hearts... But pinkness all the same. The light took shape of a small egg like pokemon, Togepi. "I'm entering you, COLOR "Diantha" THE "Togepi" FABULOUS!

Diantha yawned and stretched as she was released. Small beady eyes and looked around. S smile spread across her face as over sized feet dashed forward toward the other baby pokemon. "Togi, togi! Togi-tree!" She called in happiness, little arms waving as she went.

Though no one could really see it, a small 'smile' came to the dark trainer's face as she watched the small pokemon, though the pokemon behind her snorted in annoyance at the 'cuteness'. Though the scizor remained silent for the most part of all this.

It was definately a bright, sunshiney day and she was glad she could be here to injoy this Festival. So many new trainers about to begin their journeys here!

From near the ice cream stands stood a red haired young woman in a long, light green dress, who appeared to be looking after the kids and making sure they wouldn't get into trouble. "Be careful there jimmy!" she called out to a boy as he picked up a small shroomish and gave it a hug. The shroomish, however, didn't like this and let out a stream of golden cloud.

"oh, dear!" the women hoisted her dress up and run to check on the child, who was now crying due to the spores.

There was a rather... Large woman sitting on one of the benches watching the many Pokemon parading in the middle of the park. She sat there with her faithful companion, a Roselia named Rose. Creative, wasn't it?

She gave a big sigh. This festival wasn't exactly her strongest suite. But... Her friend had said they might need help. It was only because everyone assumed she was a mother. By definition, sure. She was a mother. But if you asked her children, they'd ask what a mother was. They'd all grown up. Living on their own. And while somewhere in the back of her mind she realized that she had been a very insignificant part of their lives, she didn't admit it to herself or anyone else for that matter.

Pokemon were so much easier to raise than kids. Always. They didn't ask awkward questions. And when they didn't understand something, they simply got on with their lives. You could offer them simple phrases, and they'd be satisfied enough. But children needed so much more.

"We'll be hitting the bars tonight, Rose." The woman said and shifted on the bench, her position now more relaxed. She watched her friend run over to a crying child, not having seen the spores fly. She thought he'd simply fell or scraped a knee. There was another guy rushing over to help, so hopefully they wouldn't need her.

The Roselia, however, wasn't as laid-back about the child as her trainer. There was a very worried look on the plant Pokemon's face. She'd seen what her trainer hadn't.

"oh, yes dear, could you please help me dab this spore out of jimmy's eyes?" She was quick to dab it away from the childs mouth, but this still hadn't calmed him down as he was apparently tramataized by the attack "settle down now okay? you'll be all right soon"

at first, the boy was anything but calm, crying like it was the end of the world. But now his tears had lessened to sobs, and now he was hiccuping. The spores had thankfuly not done anything tremenduasly bad, besdies scare him

"there now!" Karen beamed "your all better!" The child nodded and stood up, timidly walking away to rejoin his friends amugst calls of '"cry baby!"

"Why, thank you very much for the help young man" Karen faced gigaus and his small catipie
