Now while it were clear that the human himself certainly didn't seem to be finding the whole situation amusing - more so after having been snared by one of the vines that caused the human to stumble - didn't mean that the currently hidden being that were likely the cause of such a thing didn't. For despite the human's called out words regarding the situation not being funny - for him - didn't put an end to the laughter that would continue to echo about the immediate area along with a few more vines reaching out to prod at both human and Torchic alike in an almost taunting manner for what seemed like an age. hOwever this would only last a short time longer before stillness would come to the area and there would be a brief break in the torment of the human and pokemon pair, the same would go for the giggling sounds that would give way to silence making it harder to determine where the hidden being could be. this would not last forever for after a few minutes longer would the source of all that had been going on would make an appearance in the form of the literal walking mass of vines that would rise up from the greenary that surrounded NIko and Amrock and would boldly walk towards them with eyes fixed on the pair.

Haunter After what they just did and how they reacted to his plight, Niko could say with certainty that he was unhappy with whoever was messing with them. Niko did his best to find the source of the laughter, but found nothing, as if the troublemaker was invisible or something. That meant that Niko had to search for a good while, practically blind, up until the point where the impish creature in question finally showed themselves. Turns out, it was...a Tangela, it looked like? Okay, that actually made a decent amount of sense. However, its sudden appearance only alleviated the situation somewhat, as all it did was approach him in an almost casual manner. It didn't look particularly apologetic or anything, so it wasn't like Niko was any happier with the thing. The first opportunity he got, he began questioning the Grass-type's motives for its behavior. " What the hell was that all about? Have you been waiting to do something like that this whole time? Is that why the plantlife is so different here?"

NOw of course the human male for the most part would certainly be right when it would come to the fact that the Tangela that would finally make it's appearance were indeed be something of an impish being. Because the very fact that the plant life around this particular area were enough of a confirmation that this were the case, in fact the grass type were still more than a little tempted to keep up with it's antics but from here on out would the pokemon be more careful. Though at first the Tangel's attention may have vaguely continue to look over the human male and listen to the questions that said human would throw in the direction of the Tangela would get it's gaze fully focusing upon the human. It would take a short time for the grass type to consider whether or not to answer verbally or not on account of the fact of whether the human would understand the wild pokemon or not, This would be all that would get the Tangela settling on silently answer, giving enough time between questions to offer firm and clear nods to each question in turn before seeming to be a little smug with itself.

Haunter Niko scowled. He hadn't had the craziest luck during his journey across the cliffside, but he still wasn't expecting to act as a source of cheap amusement for some random Tangela. That was just disrespectful to him, not to mention a waste of his time. To boot, the little ball of vines wasn't acting all too apologetic. It was just silently confirming the fact that it had, indeed, set up everything so that someone like him would wander in and get blindsided by the Tangela's plant manipulation. Apparently, that was its idea of fun, but unfortunately, it wasn't Niko's idea of fun. In fact, it probably wouldn't be most people's idea of fun, which made the fact that the Tangela had been waiting to do something like that to anyone that came by all the worse. If the little guy were to do something similar to someone less capable of freeing themselves, things wouldn't go well for them, Niko could imagine. " You know you really shouldn't bother people like that, right?" Niko asked judgmentally. " Speaking from my experience, it's not going to be fun for anyone but you. Use your powers for things that are necessary, not to inconvenience others. Do you understand me?"

Of course the Tangela would more than understand that it's actions and weird sense of amusement in regards to what it were doing were somewhat 'wrong' depending upon an individuals perspective, but the same could so easily be said about certain actions made by both pokemon and humans alike towards others who had differing opinions of such. It would not mean that the Tangela would in any way regret his actions, rather the grass type would simply observe and listen to what the human would come to say in turn. < The same can be said about humans - those who think it is acceptable to mess with others just because they can. It's a two way street human, how can you explain that then? > The statement would be short and to the point but the Tangela would purposefully stare at the human long after it had gone quiet, it were curious to see how the human would react to this Level 14 || 140 / 140 || Male || Leaf Guard || StatusEndeavour, Ingain, Sleep Powder, Vine Whip, Absorb, Poison Powder [/div]

Haunter The Tangela was finally speaking, which meant that Amrock was able to finally help convey whatever was going on with the Grass-type. Certainly, the thing had to have had some sort of rationale for partaking in such mischievous behavior. Said rationale, however, turned out to be rather...questionable. So much so that both Amrock and Niko had trouble understanding. " Okay, hold on a minute," Niko said, trying to make sure he didn't misinterpret something. " You're saying that humans also mistreat others? Because that doesn't mean that what you're doing here is okay." " That's right, mister!" Amrock chimed in. " Two wrongs don't make a right, y'know! And besides, it's not like all humans are like that. We oppose humans that act like that! So you better take responsibility for your own actions, you got that?"

Alright, so maybe it were indeed more than true that the Tangela's methods and reasonings as a whole may not have exactly been the best choices in the world to use as a reson for itself to be causing mischiefbut at the same time and in the grass type's mind this also applied to humans too and there were a part of the Tangela that would not be surprised that both the human and the small fire type beside it would try defending humans. Though this wouldnot mean that the Tangela wouldnot have enough sense to remain quiet just long enough in order to listen to what the respective pair would have to say in response to the grass type's own words, of which would cause it to roll his eyes somewhat in a seemingly less than amused manner and loudily and boredly sighing in an exasperated manner. < What makes you think that I merely mean those humans that have a tendancy to cause trouble and mistreat others? No . . . It's the supposedly 'good' humans that cause just as much if not more mischief that those who's actions are clear cut in regards to trouble. You should be keeping watch over the young of your trainer's specie's that cause the most mischief for children are the true mischief makers that I aim to teach lessons. > The Tangelawould find himselfthrowing back towards both the Torchic and human in turn, even if it were indeed true that it would mostly be the fire chick that would understand the grass type's words and therefore relay the message to the larger human. < If you want to lecture me then take the time to lecture human children lest they torment any pokemon whether intentional or not, it is as wrong for them to be doing such things as it is for me. At least I am making efforts to teach the right ones a lessons to become better adults. > Surely Amrock would indeed have to admit that when it would come to 'teaching' anyone - whether human or pokemon - anything it were always better to start off as young as possible even if it were to be true that in some cases adults can also be taught such and reformed.

Haunter Niko wasn't the most intellectually stubborn person in the world or anything, but he was still fairly sure that there wouldn't be much of a reason for the Tangela to attempt to shoot down his argument. After all, everyone knew that two wrongs didn't make a right, and he could attest to the fact that not all humans were bad, if that was where the Tangela's mind was going. However, the little bundle of vines still tried making a counterargument, and from what he understood, it was about...children? Specifically, that the Tangela was targeting human children? " What?" Niko said, still wondering if he was just out of the loop and didn't understand. " All this is about kids? Are you saying that kids mistreat people and that's why you're doing this?" " That's awful!" Amrock interjected again. " You don't teach children to be better people by pulling nasty tricks on them! You teach them to be better by setting a good example and stuff! That's what my mom did for me, and she's great! So don't you go acting like you're doing this for other people's good! You still pulled that trick on us, remember?"

Oh dear Arceus now they were getting his words all confused and twisted around on him! Alright granted the Tangela were more than aware of the fact that his actions were not exactly the best course of action to be taking but he were trying to use such as a learning opportunity as much as teaching a lesson as to how such negative actions had equally negative consequences. How could he try explain this to these two so that they could understand his reasonings? This would be the very reason that while the Tangela would listen to what both the human and Torchic before starting to stomp his own feet and generally begin softly grumbling to himself for the longest of times while the grass type seemed to pace around while listening and taking the time to how best he would be able to respond in kind. < No I am saying that some young kids come here and occasionally mistreat pokemon! Is your human stupid or something? . . . . . .. My actions may not be teaching them to be beter humans but it IS teaching them that the cruel tricks that they pull on pokemon are equally unpleasent when it's turned around on them! Works half the time too, some of those human kids understand and apologise but not all. Maybe human parents should be doing better to teach their kids like your parents did for you. > The Tangela threw back after a while in an annoyed manner.

Haunter Well, despite the Tangela's prior actions and Niko's general confusion regarding the motives behind them, it was at least trying to clarify its intent...Then again, it could've just been making up excuses for its behavior in order to avoid any sort of punishment. Either of those seemed plausible enough to Niko. Once Amrock conveyed the Grass-type's latest rebuttal, Niko got the chance to think about it...though he still wasn't quite happy with what he was hearing. " So, this is about teaching children a lesson?" he surmised. " That's a fine enough motive, I suppose, but in conjunction with your own actions...I can't help but notice a fatal contradiction." " Yeah!" Amrock added. " You still haven't explained why you did that to us! Niko isn't a child!" The both of them were still having trouble accepting the Tangela's words, and with all the claims it was throwing around about its reasoning, the whole thing felt rather dubious to Niko especially. He'd have to keep on eye on the thing in order to try and suss out whether it was actually just making excuses or not.

Now of course despite the attempts in which it would be making in explaining the intentions to the human and Torchic pair aside from their own words and general behavior it were certainly becoming evident as a whole that they would be struggling to understand the grass type's reasonings for what he were doing. And truth be told if roles were indeed it were more than likely true that the Tangela would come to be thinking the same thing depending upon the situation, well; guess he would have to make greater efforts to explain his reasons or otherwise understand where these two were coming from. This would be all the reason for the Tangela to remain quiet for what would seem like an eternity while would allow so many thoughts to pass through the grass type's head along with considering the other two's words - maybe the grass type would indeed need to go a different path once in a while? < Yes it is to teach naughty children not to torment others, presuming such works then all the better. As for why I did such to you both, my error it seems - I was in a position where my view was obscured thus I presumed you to be a child thus prepared to go into my usual routine.

Haunter The idea that Niko could be confused for a child in any circumstance seemed absurd, to say the least, and Amrock wasn't quite willing to let that Tangela off the hook yet. It'd have to have a good reason for antagonizing them, otherwise all its claims of having good intentions would become moot. Sure, he still wouldn't have to like the Tangela's "taste of their own medicine" argument, but they'd at least see eye to eye to some extent. Hearing what he had to say, it seemed like a hard-to-swallow explanation. He didn't see him clearly? " But what about his...I dunno, footfalls? They're heavier than a kid's. Plus, if you didn't see him clearly, how'd you even do the thing with the vines? Don't you have to see to use a move like that?" " Hm," Niko said, seeing that Amrock was questioning the Tangela himself. It was good to see him take the initiative, but he had a feeling that they were thinking somewhat differently. In fact, he had something on his mind himself; another odd contradiction in the Tangela's behavior. " I just remembered something. Earlier on, when you acknowledged you were the one to do that vine thing, you seemed pretty self-satisfied. An odd reaction, considering the fact that it was a mistake."

Alright, so again the small Torchic would find a counter argument towards the Tangela's reasoning regarding the whole footfalls aspect, for granted an adult's or even an elder teenager's steps were indeed different to that of a child's in many ways but it were not all that hard to have a counter to that - even if there were no doubt either the human or Torchic would throw back their own argument towards him in turn. < Not all children are small, some are tall or generally larger for their age's. So while you have a good argument it is not completely sound - as for how I manage to see without seeing. That's thanks to one of my moves; I can bury my vines and have them 'attached' in some minor way to know when and where people are coming from. > The Tangela responded. Now when the human would begin speaking would the grass type turn his attention towards the man in question as eyes narrowed slightly in what could only be described as curiosity and thoughtfulness for the longest of times while considering the words that the man would have directed towards the grass type before taking time to consider the answer to give. < Mistake or not I was satisfied that my actions still had the desired effect - to a degree - even if I was wrong in you being a child. > Well, it was true wasn't it? Regardless of the right of wrong of the Tangela's actions anyone would be pleased that their actions had still had some success despite such negative details overall. < Now, while we all disagree on the ways in which we all teach children to behave or otherwise treat others kindly - are we done with the lectures? Since in theory at the very least we are on the same page? > The Tangela questioned, though not aiming at anyone in particular though more at both the human and Torchic pairing.

Haunter Niko narrowed his eyes at the Tangela, the living pile of vines still seeming as self-satisfied as before. Even having made a mistake, it was still proud of itself? How much of the Tangela's actions were a result of good intentions and how much of it was just it having a bit of fun? Honestly, it still seemed hard to tell. Plus, the idea of it confusing him for even a large teenager seemed highly questionable...not to mention concerning. " Hm," Niko responded, considering the fact that the Tangela seemed interested in moving on from the topic. " Tell you what, I'm gonna make a note to myself about this location. I want to believe you have the best of intentions here, but I don't want to rule out my own personal concerns. I don't wanna hear any reports of Tangela harassing innocent passerby. If I hear about anything of the sort, you and I are gonna have to repeat this little conversation. In the meantime, consider making sure you know who you're targeting before grabbing people with your vines. That should keep incidents like these from happening, shouldn't it?"

Next season change ~ May 20th
Swarming Pokemon!
Encouraged Characters
Currently, our character numbers are pretty even, so aside from us gently encouraging more civilians and breeders...go nuts!
Numbers of Gijinka on site have dropped, too, so they're open to be applied for at the moment- though, if you're interested, go check out the adoptable threads for many wanted ones! They could always use players! ;-)
