I need to know - Wild

[Luna Sallow]

**

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Diamond crystal were liars. It might have taken her years to work this out but now she knew, Luna looked at everything they had taught her through a scope of this thought. The issue was, she was not ready for what she would discover when she widened that scope outwards. Sure, her mother was an idiot and a desperate idiot who even in the ideals and thoughts of the group took a risk trying to make some money for whatever she needed. However, Luna was older than most of her kind she had learned, she was not an early days version of her species, people clearly knew enough about her to make her but they didnt totally understand it down to the letter. That meant a few things and recently, she had discovered information about the matter, information she could not ignore. Really, she owed all the thanks to being out here in the desert with lucas. It was after their meeting that she looked more in to him and the wisps of rumors of Team rocket which moved around him were something, but something more took her eye. Rumors of gijinka in their ranks,a lot of them, and while she didnt understand why she did find something deep in a file which was long since thought to have been forgotten or removed. And so she was out in the ruins, trying as hard as she could to hopefully find a hint or hair in some way of a certain species of pokemon. Because if she could wander through all this sand and there be something at the end of it, she would try. If it was true, and her father, her real father, had donated more than once to form her, she might have siblings who were born as pokemon, and so released in to the wild and she just had to know!

The hunting here was good at night. The ghosts came out and she had her fill of them. The young tigress sat on a rock, patiently awaiting when her next morsel would come along. Though, there was a curious scent on the wind. Something fiery and something phantasmal…

Normally, that would amount to a fine bite. But, this odor…

Suspicious and confused, she got up. Her pelt made poor cover in the desert sands, but she creeped along regardless, belly low to the ground. She spotted her quarry in the distance. The back of a human, but with hare that danced like fire. For a moment, she was perplexed. Perhaps one of those strange foxes she’d seen in her travels that mimicked others in hazy mirages? Or, maybe this was a malformed ghost, some ghastly which had not yet condensed into a noxious ball or a banette seeking a stitched body. Regardless, she prowled after, certain that this odor and that one were different.

… Would Luna realize she was being stalked?

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Luna walked across the sand in front of her, eyes focused on what she was sure was a shape in the distance before there was a small comment from the small figure beside her shoulder. Orri was one of the few pokemon with the ability to travel easily anywhere, it was why the pair got on so well, but it also meant she and Luna did have a habit of talking to one and other more than most. "It might just be another cactus, i dont think the ruins are this way" the ghost type warned softly, Luna rolling her eyes at the comment and coming to a stop. She raised her hands, settling them on her hips and in the process, releasing another of her pokemon and then looking to them. "Go see what it is, get a bit closer and report back" she said to Xandi, the other ghost type looking between the duo before floating away as luna looked to Orri. "And then what? Stop looking, if you know so much, where do we head, because following your route almost got me in quick sand and i dont have the ability you do to get out of it" she snapped, her tone very much tired more than angry, but still, there was an edge there as she stood still to both scold and question her ghost type.

Two ghost types? How did she get to be so lucky? Or, perhaps, come to be teased… Caught pokemon were tougher prey. The humans rarely kept just one or two with them. Though, something about the blue-haired figure did not seem so wholly… different from herself.

Ah, well. Whatever this was, it was not lunch. But, it was also within her territory, and she wouldn’t have them ruining things. There were rivals she could perhaps direct them to…

Satisfied in what she’d witnessed, the tigress rose from her stalking pace and briskly trotted until she caught up with the party. When she was nearly upon them, rather than pouncing, she spoke.

“Lost, travelers? Allow me to be a good host and send you on your way quickly.” In otherwords, she’d very politely asked them what they needed in order to get the heck out.

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Luna curled her fingers on her hips, trying to keep herself calm as she looked to her pokemon who seemed to stammer for a few moments before shaking her head, well her entire body. In the next second, a new voice spoke up and the pair span around, noting the voice could not be Xandi since she had been sent away to whatever that shape in the distance was. Luna's eyes fell on the pokemon which just walked up to her like it was normal, her eyes shifting over the form of a pokemon which looked like how she imagined how pyra could look when she was older. "Lost? No. Looking for something" the trainer replied, her tone a little curter than normal and little more clipped than she meant it to be. Persian - Luna sees nothing

The note of impatience in Luna’s tone made the torracat’s eyes narrow with interest even more than the fact it was the trainer who replied rather than her pokemon. This woman was not human, then. Perhaps a ghost in an unsettled form, perhaps an illusion, or perhaps one of those strange, lonesome things which were neither and also both. The quickest way to solve the conundrum would be to sink her claws into the stranger and see what yielded: phantasmal gas for something undead, a shattered illusion for those tricky foxes, and for the last…!

Well, it would whet the tigress’s appetite, but she had already stated she would be a good host. Good hosts did not swat at their guests over one bit of rudeness. She was not a fairy, after all.

Sitting with her bushy tail wrapped around her haunches, the torracat replied: “There are many things here.”

Patiently, she twitched an ear in one direction. “There are lost things like pokeballs and strange stones. I do not mind so much if you take those. But, there are things like myself and my prey. Those… I may not part with so easily.” Here, she tilted her head, the illusion of a kitten-ish smile upon her feline maw. “Have you come for what I discard or are you stealing from my hunting grounds, odd one?”

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ The feline replied, the trainer rolled her eyes and then the fire type kept explaining and luna paused, listening a little closer to the female speak. Her eyes moved over the females form, trying to see if she could see any tells for lying or the like but she didnt see anything obvious. Swallowing a breath and forcing herself to remain calm, she moved her hands off her hips and settled her arms over her chest. "Im stealing nothing, im here looking for my family who might not know they have family out there. I've been that child before, I wont let it happen to anyone else if i can" she replied, her crossed arms and curt tone knitting together to give the appearance of a stubborn brat. Orri sighed, looking to the wild pokemon, before chiming in. "We are looking for a certain species of pokemon, in theory new the region, very possibly having been in hiding for a while. Fire type, ghost fire type, this seemed the smartest place to begin" the ghost type explained looking between the fire type and her trainer as she spoke. Persian

A roll of the eyes! The torracat’s tail bristled. A rude thing she was! Very rude! The tigress felt more and more disinclined to assist and the urge to swat the stranger and her very delicious looking team away until they fled increased. But, the tale she told seemed sympathetic enough, at first…

And, then it became downright suspicious.

The torracat stood, thick tail swishing behind her as she walked around Luna and Orri. She circled the two with near silent steps. It was clear that she was very comfortable in her territory.

“I’m sure I don’t know what you mean. These are very specific things of which you speak. I hear no mewling children.” Here, she turned, jumping atop one of the low stones that dotted the desert even outside of the ruins. It was true. The desert was quiet. There were distant noises upon the sand, but none of crying children. “Do you?”

There was a long, tense pause. The fire type’s fur was bristle all along her back. Her body was tense as could be, ready to pounce. She was ready to protect what was hers.

“I take back my offer. I have nothing for poachers. Begone, least I take of you to make my point clearer.”

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Luna was ready to kick out a foot at this pokemon with her bad mood and how it was speaking to her, her head tilting to one side as she listened before she replied to the female. "Im sorry, maybe i wasn't clear, or my pokemon was not. There is a high chance there is a pokemon out here i need to find, to help, to keep safe. I will not be leaving, i will confirm my theory or head to the volcano and check there" she answered before she felt something snap as the female went on, the trainer rolling her eyes again. "Oh screw this, Minnow, she's wasting our time" she growled out as her fingers rolled off the pokeball in her hand and her oshawott hit the ground beside his trainer. He glanced around, eyes flashing with focus as he reached for the shell on his chest and seemed to focus, the shell glowing red and the male revealing he had been listening the entire time as he then swung himself forwards, water gathering around his tail as he tried to smash the feline backwards over the sand. 150/150 - +2 Atk MINNOW USED SWORDS DANCE MINNOW USED AQUA TAIL - 90BP + 10 (+2ATK) + 15 (STAB) + 10 (SE) = 125P Persian

Naturally they would resort to a battle. What option did this kind have except to fight? Growling and whipping her tail, the Intimidating female spat furiously at the sight of the water type.

“Yes, you come to keep a fire type safe with a water type!”

With feline grace, she leaped up and over the initial attack from the oshawott. She landed off her rocky perch and upon the sands. Fire bubbled up from her throat to coat her maw. Surging forward, she went for a first strike at the opposing pokemon. Her yellow eyes flashed with a protective fury.

“Lie to me no more!”

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ The blue haired trainer hissed as her attack missed, though she and minnow had a plan for just this happened so the second the water type knew he had shot past, he lifted his paws to his head and waited. The blow came, not that it took him out, but it stung and then he grinned darkly. eyes flashed red again before the shell on his chest di the same, he lowered his hand to grab it as Luna spoke. "Oh im not lying about anything, i will find my siblings and i will ensure they dont have to deal with what i did. Im not wasting time with pokemon dancing around the truth or their issues, get to it or get away" she snapped as Minnow turned his head around, the fact the fire type was so close playing in to his plan perfects as he tried to slap the pokemon back. Sure, with that females glare it wouldn't be as strong as he wanted, but with her attack, it would be something pretty darn potent. 76/150 - +3 Atk GROWL MISSED FIRE FANG HIT sxb|Df86 MINNOW USED SWORDS DANCE MINNOW USED ASSURANCE - 60BPX2 (HIT) + 15 (+3ATK)= 135P Persian

“So much entitlement—”

The female felt the oshawott’s Assurance beat across her pelt. She Leered menacingly at the smaller male, not backing up from his personal space. A similar energy radiated from her maw as to what had been generated by him mere moments ago.

“—to a child in MY care!”

Protective ferocity tensed in her form before she lashed out once more, intent on catching the water type in her jaws to deliver a harsh blow. This battle was, for her, more desperate than mere hunting…

… Nearby upon the sands, something stirred. The torracat’s ears twitched and her eyes briefly flashed in that direction, but that was all the acknowledgement she gave it at the moment. Her focus remained on the intruders in her territory.

She question Luna once more. This probing inquiry was snarled louder than before. “Why come now, after so many years?”

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Luna was ready to kick this cat herself, ready to throw it across the sand, and then it went ahead and said that and her mind stopped and started to reel. Minnow on the other hand, or paw, didnt have the same freedom and quickly turned to his trainer, noticed her frozen face and cursed. Turning back he looked right down the barrel of the leer, shaking his head at the failure. He was able to push off the sand, roll over it to avoid the bite coming down on himself and once more he tried to focus on his shell, the red flashing brightly against the pale color of the sand as he came to standing. "Hey, get a grip. Come on" he snapped, the shout for his trainer as well as the pokemon in front him as water seemed to pull from the air and wrap around his body, the pokemon blasting off the ground in the next second to try and slam in to the fire type with speed. "You...have..." luna muttered out before the shout from her water type seemed to snap her eyes to focus, color growing in them again as she turned her head to watch the battle. "Because i know now! I had to spent years being lied to, being trained to be a weapon for someone else as someone else, now im me, im coming right for those i should have always known about!" she snapped, her tone clearly hiding something under it.

She’d missed. This oshawott was proving to be an elusive opponent. Though, perhaps this was her fault for giving up the element of surprise. Frustrated with herself, her tail lashed and she Growled. She spread her paws with her claws out, seeking grip on the shifting sands.

“Lilin!”

She looked back just as Minnow rammed her with his Aqua Jet. A smaller fiery figure darted onto the scene, kneeling beside her at once. The torracat —Lilin —her eyes did not waver from Luna’s after she shook her head to clear the spin from Minnow’s attack. She drew herself onto her legs but stood between the newly arrived pokemon and the intruders. No attack manifested…

… Yet, mistrust still lingered in her bright gaze.

“They turn us loose here,” the torracat explained, patience once again making her voice soft. “To languish. To suffer for having tried to escape.” She turned her head briefly, licking the charcadet’s dark cheek affectionately. “Or, to thrive.” The other half of Luna's story; an acceptance that she was not lying. It made sense, the feline put together, for her not to know. Who kept track of the trash?

Having only caught some of what Luna had said due to his focus being on the torracat, the charcadet’s eyes, which had softened when gazing at the other fire type, looked across to the duo. “... What are you 'righting' that Lilin should spare you for fighting her in our territory?”

“Sebby,” the torrcat gently chided. “Did I not teach you patience?”

He huffed, but listened as he stared at the strangers.

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ She stopped. Luna forced herself to take in a breath, the waves of heat around her hands growing and she looked down to see the heat line theres and sighed. Trying to push the feeling away, she was focused on that more than the fight, and so Minnow was the one to notice no return attack came and instead, the fire type focused on his trainer. When she growled, he winced a little at the sound but she didnt do anything, move, only speak. "They?" he asked, his voice curious if a little breathless from the effort of the fight while Lunas head snapped up at a new voice. Seeing the small pokemon, she felt something in her mind tug but her eyes were drawn back to the fire type faster, then the other that spoke. "Someone raised me to be their child, they fighter, their solider and hoping me to be their killer. All i ever wanted was to be their daughter, and finding out i could be none of the above, i want to be able to at least be the sister to those who were kept and taken from me" she replied to the pokemon, her voice wobbling as she replied. Her voice cracked as she did so, her focus slipping and she cursed loudly as her fingertips sparked in to flames. She tried to wave them out but, looked back to the female, wincing. "Trust me, "turned loose" is something im plenty used to. Its why i dont want others to suffer through the same pain" she replied at first before she winced, thriving hadn't really occured to her. She knew she had siblings, a male was the one recorded on paper but in her mind they were newborn thrown out in to the world and needed saving. "Im here because..." she started, eyes moving to look to the flame dancing on the end of her hand before she tried to focus, eyes screwing up tightly and the flame forming in to a blade for a moment before she let out a gasp, and the flame broke back to merely flickering from side to side. "Im here because if it had been me, i'd have wanted the help, the guiding hand, the protection....I wanted my family" she found herself admitting, Minnow shaking his head to her words, but smiling under a hidden grin. 76/150 - +5 Atk -1Def BATTLE PAUSED 20% HP RECOVERY Persian
