Moving along at a controlled pace, Tobias was eager to make it to the next town but not too enthusiastic in moving fast enough in case he bumped into Catherine once more. As his legs moved on, he found himself eyeing at the scenery around him. The coldness in the air was aggravating but at least the aesthetics of the environment around him served to artificially induce a sense of warmth from the autumnal hue that it boasted. As much as he tried fooling himself, he began to feel a heightened chill plaguing his step. Stopping, he clenched his eye shut and warmed up his temples by massaging them. "I need to get out of this empty wilderness." Reaching into his breast pocket and retrieving a cigarette and a lighter, he lit up and felt the pleasant rush of smoke warm him his head. Keeping the tobacco smoke within his breath for a lengthy period, he eventually let it seep out as he regained enough motivation to press on. As he did, Tobias was next to certain that he could hear the faint rustling of footsteps following not too far off behind him. Already paranoid to begin with, the sound seemed to stick out to him like scratching down a chalkboard. Deciding to subtly test if he was being followed, he made abrupt stops and starts to gauge if the sound would continue on. Much to his chagrin, they seemed to almost mirror his own but with a short delay. Eventually stopping for good, Tobias reached into his jacket and pulled out a gun. He wasn't really a fan of firearms but his life as a criminal had taught him that they weren't something you could do without. Of course you could shoot at your foe but he found it to be much more effective as a means of crowd control by firing off a few warning shots. Which was precisely what he decided to do at this moment. Turning one hundred and eighty degrees on the heel of his shoe, he fired the gun up once into the air and spoke calmly out to the mysterious stalker. "Show yourself. Now." Leering his eyes as he waited, the thought of it being Catherine popped into his head. "If that's you Catherine..." He mumbled inaudibly under his breath. OOC: Requesting a fight with Silver seeing as there isn't much else in NBT that i'm after. Thanks in advance.  Here's a link to my second character Tobias. Sucks not having much sig space for his character app. >_> I also picked Squirtle as a starter but shafted to one side. |

Ever since the ship from Unova had landed on the shores of Newbark, Tobias had a pair of watchful, crimson eyes looming over him. No, it was not only Catherine who was stalking the eye patch wearing male but someone else aswell. The way Tobias viciously hammered away at the keyboard back in the Pokemon Center, his cold hearted tone when taking part in the recent double battle... The only thing the stalker couldnt understand was his connection with that frilly dressed maiden but that didn't matter since she was out of the picture now. Having followed his movements for as long as he could, the sudden gun fire from Tobias had managed to bring this being out of the shadows. Nothing more than a mere crimson haired teenager stepped out from the bushes, his wicked smirk spreading across his face like a wildfire.
"After all this time you finally noticed my presence. I thought you had a bit of potential compared to all these low life kiddy trainers but I guessed wrong." Losing his smile, the boy stepped out into clear view, the fact Tobias held a gun not fazing him all that much. Instead, with a single finger, the boy pointed to the weapon held within his hand, "It's pathetic that you rely on a tool like that. A real man wouldnt sink so low." Immediately going for his belt, the boy (otherwise known as Silver) picked out a Pokeball, holding it forward for Tobias to see, "I'm not sure if you can see well with that one eye of yours but this here holds my Pokemon. I challenge you to a battle and I'm certain that I will win considering the low life scum you are." Tossing the Pokeball forward, one would expect from his loud mouth that the boy held the god of all Pokemon but instead, it was something more on the cute side. A Chikorita, infact.
Having only just stole it from the Professor back in New Bark, Silver found it quite a shock himself and found it difficult to keep a straight, stern face. Great, he probably looked like a right amateur now, especially when the Chikorita made eye contact. As if a young girl had just fallen in love, she skipped to Silver's side, rubbing her face against his ankle and causing him to look down in disgust. "What the heck are you doing?! If you dont hurry up and battle, I'll force that man to shoot you!" More happy about being ordered around than threatened, the female grass type stepped forward to protect her trainer, glaring at Tobias. Yandere's werent something to be taken lightly.

Staring with his remaining good eye focused intently on the arrival of a new trainer into the foray, Tobias was understandably annoyed to be held up by yet another youthful child. Lowering his gun armour and exercising proper trigger discipline, he listened to what the kid had to say. His bright red hair and distasteful expression on his face didn't sit too well with Tobias who couldn't help but brush him off as something of a school yard bully. In fact, the entire demeanour of this despicable urchin reminded him of his days back at the orphanage. Unable to withold his dislike any further, Tobias cut into Silver mid sentence. "Low life kiddy trainers? I wasn't aware it was the in thing these days to speak so harshly of one's self. You can't be no older than 13." Allowing him to continue on, he eventually realised that Silver was mocking his use of his firearm. Remaining emotionless, Tobias holstered his pistol and responded bluntly. "Tool or not, it is a useful means of gaining the upper hand. It matters hardly if I am a real man or not when you are bleeding out on the grass. The only thing certain then is that you are dead and I am the victor." Straightening out his jacket as to hide his pistol, Tobias continued on.
He wasn't originally in the mood to hang around but something about this teenager's tone rubbed him the wrong way. "Unfortunately, I will not need to waste such an expense on you as I will be more than efficient in disposing you with my other tools." Taking a Pokeball without caring much as to what it was, Tobias held it forward. "I accept your challenge, punk." Tossing the Pokeball forward with little motion, Tobias noted that the Zigzagoon from before stepped out to act as the instrument of this annoying child's demise. "Zigzagoon. Lay waste to this joke and Headbutt it thoroughly." Duster craned is neck round to look at Tobias and nodded at his command. Normally used to fleeing, it seemed Tobias was instilling him with an over riding means to fight. As the Chikorita came into view, Tobias breathed heavily in disbelief that such a mouthy trainer would bother using such a ridiculous Pokemon. "I would normally quip here that your Pokemon is ill fitting of someone of your revolting nature but i'll spare you this time."

Silver wasn't too surprised as Tobias attempted to cut into his sentences, the much older male having a slight hint of potential, as this crimson haired boy previously mentioned, due to this cold, hateful attitude. Merely shaking his crimson locks from left to right with a smug look back on his face, the boy butted in once again, "I will always be superior to those within my age gap or even higher! I have much more brains than all those other stupid trainers and my style of training is flawless. Treat Pokemon like the dirty tools they are and soon enough, a heartless beast with emerge from them. I suppose it is like that with a few humans, too." Sneering at the male as he pocketed his pistol, the boy still felt the same, an irritated whisper escaping from under his breath, "Anyone who uses guns are the lowest scum, joining the Rockets."
Staring viciously at the eye patched man, Silver watched as he picked out a Pokeball of his own, accepting the challenge he had issued. After laying eyes on Tobias back in the Pokemon Center as well as in his battle earlier, the crimson haired boy remembered parts of his team and there wasn't anything particularly terrifying. The thing what did happen to pop out however, was something Silver had hoped for, viewing it as a weakling and sneering right of the bat. "Even if your Pokemon is a different colour, it doesnt change anything. In fact, it makes it easier to point out the odd one out from all the other pathetic members of it's species. Completely useless!" With a single click of his fingers, his seriously in love Chikorita managed to pull herself away from Silver and face the shiny Zigzagoon head one, a strange glint in her eye warning him that she wasnt going to hold back.
"Grrr be quiet! The battle is starting now and I wont be holding back! I'm sure this tea leaf will wipe the floor with your Zigzagoon!" Clenching a fist, Chikorita looked over to her trainer and nodded, as if trying to make him a bit more hopeful of her but it didnt really work as he grunted with anger. "What are you still standing around for?! Tackle into that toilet cleaner and get this over with!" Giggling insanely over her master's joke, the grass type sprang forward hoping to have a upper hand in speed but unfortunately, it didn't seem to be the case. Having Tobias as his new trainer was odd but Duster was actually enjoying receiving these commands.
Dashing hurriedly along the grass, the shiny raccoon was determined to do well in this battle. Flattening his ears, the Pokemon pushed himself from the floor, crashing his head heavily into the Chikorita, who in return let out an overdramatised shriek of pain. Tossing her head from side to side in slow motion, the girl looked over her shoulder in hope of seeing a worried Silver but instead, she froze on the spot only to see his face more angry and red than his hair! Wincing awkwardly, the female Pokemon turned back to face Duster, his face blinking at her as he braced himself to be attacked. Having enough time to fool around, Chikorita took a serious few leaps and bounds forward, turning slightly and crashing the side of her body into his, dealing back about the same amount of damage.

Coldly listening to arrogant youth as he spilled his droll without a modicum of humility, Tobias couldn't help but somewhat agree with the male's views. While he may not have been the most savoury of individuals, the training regime he held was something that Tobias put some belief in. "A commendable stance on your training." Tilting his head to the side ever so slightly, he finished what he had began saying. "However, you are far too infantile to fully back up that which you claim." Tidying down his suit with a few genteel pats, Tobias stuck a knife into the tempestuous boy's reputation and gave it a good slice around. "As it stands, your youth will prove only to go so far. Your feeble attempts at goading and jilting your Pokemon will only measure up to the action's of a simpleton bully." At this point, any normal person would have smiled but Tobias remained as expressionlessly blunt as ever. "I on the other hand will achieve this beastly transformation." Glaring his eye with the venom of a Seviper, Tobias continued. "You're speaking to someone far above your being, cur."
Amazed that the youth still had the unabashed stupidity to go on and attempt to insult him further, Tobias remained still. A ray of luck looking up at him, Tobias realised this child may have known something about Team Rocket. A perfect subject to coax some information out of. His eye leering with uncertainty, Tobias called out, choosing to ignore the red headed kid's jibes. "You speak of this... Team Rocket. And who exactly might these be?" Purposefully pretending to be unaware of their existence, he hoped to bait some rumours or information on there whereabouts and where to get enlisted. Deep down, Tobias wasn't really looking to serve this Rocket manifesto. Instead, the wily criminal hoped to rise through their ranks and assume control for himself. Considering they not only had the man power and the existing infrastructure, it would be a lot easier than building from scratch. That and the fact there true leader had upped and left causing a power vacuum meant that the organisation was ripe for manipulation.
Angrily getting frustrated with the boy's slowed reluctance, Tobias bluntly called out to his own Pokemon. "Ignore the boy's words." The boy may have tried to undermine the fact Duster was of a shiny variation but the colour itself made no difference to Tobias. This Zigzagoon was a mere tool to be wielded like any other. And when considering that the teenage male was using such a cutesy Pokemon... Having finally got his Chikorita to engage in battle, Tobias was nothing more than acceptable of the fact that his chosen Pokemon had performed averagely in battle. "Zigzagoon. That was a bland offensive. Repeat but this time, heighten the impact of your Headbutt." Flicking his eyes over to the Chikorita, Tobias knew that it was defensive but it wasn't insusceptible to attacks. All this would require was a stubborn entrenchment. Not one for trash talking, Tobias uncharacteristically decided to rip into his opponent as the next battle unfolded. There was something about this child that irritated him so. "Oh how you so enthusiastically lash out with angsty words but fail to realise how they might apply to you." Focusing his eye on the boy's hair, Tobias remained silent but hoped his words were enough to make the foe self conscious.

As Tobias gave a nod to Silver about the way he trained his Pokemon, the crimson haired boy was incredibly surprised. This was probably the first time he had stumbled across someone, other than a Rocket, who agreed with treating Pokemon as mere tools. He went on further to say that Silver, himself, was just a mere bully for not taking the way he trains in the right direction but it to him, being a typical bully or a firm handed trainer was pretty much the same thing. "They are just monsters that need to be tamed. I am strict with them, hang threats over their heads and they grow. A bully or not, my way will take my Pokemon to great heights. I dont need to show any love or friendship to these low vermin."
Gritting his teeth to himself at how this old man just wouldnt back down with his comebacks, Silver glared back at the eye patched male, learning that he knew nothing of these Rockets. Spitting to the ground, Silver pointed downward, "Thats what Rockets are. Lowest of the low. Criminal scum who shouldnt be walking on this earth. Some kid managed to dispel them years ago but here they are again, in Johto." Tightening his hands into a fist, the crimson haired boy could tell from Tobias' attitude that he would fit into this group like a glove on a hand. "They lurk the streets at the dead of night but they arent here or in Cherrygrove, they have rooted themselves in Violet and onward. Pah, it doesnt matter. My team alone will be able to destroy them from the outside, in. They are a pack of rats who cling to eachother in large groups to act all intimidating but get one on their own and they are pathetic!" Judging from his motor mouth and even more aggravated expression than usual, it was clear that this boy had a deep hatred for this criminal organisation.
Delving his hands into his pockets, the crimson haired male looked up from his angered gaze, more ready to unleash his anger than ever. "Chikorita, finish it off with Razor Leaf! I cant stand the stench of smoke radiating from this male for much longer..." Rubbing the bridge of his nose with two fingers, his little green lover was more than prepared to attack once again. Despite wearing a cute smile, her blood red eyes still yearned to kill anything to please her master. Duster, was also in the same boat. Having this new owner, Tobias seemed to have cooled on the insults and perhaps even wanted the Zigzagoon to do well. Wanting to believe in these thoughts, he pressed on with all his power, wanting to please the man!
Letting out a loud cry, Duster felt his skull collide with Chikorita, pushing her back a number of places, but he didnt stop there. Repetitively attacking over and over, Duster managed to land an incredible amount of damage, leaving poor Chikorita struggling to stay on her feet. Love was the only thing getting her through this fight so with a swift flick of her head, she released a flurry of razor sharp leaves. Batting the Zigzagoon away and giving her a chance to breath. Things were looking incredibly close, it was just the matter of the next attack which would show the victor of this snappy match.

Curious about this young trainer, Tobias was unaware that other people out in the world who came across as generally normal were also fond of such training methods. "Hmph. Carry on down that path and you might make something of yourself. Until then, what I am seeing is sorely lacking. While you may not cherish or nurture your Pokemon, that infant seedling is infatuated with you it seems." Shaking his head disappointedly, Tobias finished. "I thought someone so dedicated to using their Pokemon as mere tools would have stamped out such behaviour a long time ago." Puffing out some smoke from the cigarette he had left in his mouth from quite some time, he had realised just how many dregs he'd taken out of it. Taking it from his mouth as he blew away an ashy cloud of tobacco, he flicked a few specks of the ash onto the floor. Drooping it out of the corner of his mouth as he placed it back in, the conversation had started to get really interesting on the subject of Team Rocket.
Considering the youth's estimated age, Tobias was taken aback somewhat by the fact this trainer felt so adamantly disgusted and informed of this group's activities. Obviously their reputation preceded them to the point where they were a name that struck fear and despise into the heart's of men. His suspicions confirmed by the time this unnamed boy had finished, Tobias flicked a cigarette from his mouth and breathed out the excess fumes from his nostrils akin to that of a raging dragon. "Excellent. They sound like just what i'm after." Remaining emotionless, he continued on matter of factly. "From the sounds of things, they are in quite the tattered state. Leaderless too from the hearsay that had reached my own ears. If this much is true then they are ripe from the taking." Twisting his normally blank face into a horrid smirk, Tobias showed off emotion for the first time in a long while. Realising he had made some progress on the path he had chosen, Tobias disgruntled his face as this brat appeared to believe he would be the one to destroy them. "Charming I assure you but by the time you reach their strongholds I will already have begun my acquisition of the group."
Lighting up a new smoke with a clunk of his lighter, he peered off at the evening sky and considered the teenager's angst towards the group. "I warn you now. Interfere with their integrity and you'll have me to answer to. As you'll find now in a moment's turn I am more than capable to put down your pithy attempts at teenage rebellion." With the ensuing round ensuring that both were now down to an equal pegging, fatigued and worse for wear, Tobias felt confident in the fact he had the upper hand. "Zigzagoon. Ensure that victory is ours over this lowly whelp. Finish it with-" Before he could finish, a burst of light from one of his pockets barged a new Pokemon. It was one he had seen earlier and had low hopes for. Jumping in front of Duster, the Bidoof known as Cupcake made herself known. Fancying herself bit of a princess, it seemed the beaver had developed a liking to her supposed knight in shining armour that was Duster. Growling in a low, warning tone, she was ready to take on the Chikorita. Tobias however, was sorely angered. "You insolent--!!" His scorn would have to wait however as Cupcake went charging forward at the Chikorita with a full forced Tackle.

Silver gritted his teeth at the truth of Tobias' words. His Chikorita seemed to be irritatingly attached to the red haired boy and he hadn't the faintest clue why. He had only recently stole the Pokemon from the lab in Newbark town, this was his first time meeting the little green urchin. So why was it so infatuated with him? "Ooh trust me... After this battle is done, the stupid beast will lose all emotion once I'm finished speaking with it." Glaring as Tobias lit up a cigarette, the next set of words to escape his tobacco scented lips were something even Silver despised. The thought of standing before a future Rocket made his blood boil and by sounds of things, he had a thought of things planned and spoke so confidently. "You beast... The moment you pulled that gun out I knew you were nothing but scum. But now you're Rocket scum, figures. Someone like you belongs with a pack of rats."
Finding conversing with this man even more painful than before, Silver decided that this next move was going to be it. Height and build wise, the young teen knew that he wouldnt be able to take on a fully grown adult physically, all he could do was run off for now and gain a team of beasts to make sure he wouldnt ever reach the boss rank of Team Rocket. Afterall, it was where his father once sat... Shaking his head violently to try and rid any memories of his father, the crimson headed boy glared viciously and pointed at Duster, "Hurry up, use Tackle once more! Kill it! Tackle it until it's brains fall out of it's ears!!! DO IT NOW!" Hearing her trainers words, the sickly in love Chikorita was more than pleased to fulfill this request, no matter how violent it might've been. Squealing, the little green creature began her head on charge, noticing last minute the sudden change in opponent. Cupcake had forced her way out of her Pokeball and instead of Duster, was the Chikorita's opponent.
With her glaring red eyes, Chikorita had that bit more of a stretch thanks to the huge leaf on her head, slapping Cupcake to one side. Simply rolling to one side, the Bidoof took the attack as nothing more than a mere push, getting back onto her feet with ease. Smirking, the female beaver bolted forward, her expression screaming "this is how you tackle!" Smashing her forehead against Chikorita's, the little grass type had her eyes sent into a spiral state, her body crumbling to the floor and leaving Silver speechless. Disgusted that he had lost to a potential Rocket, the red haired boy returned his Pokemon, "Y-You fool! I will make sure Team Rocket falls! From now on, I'll be a huge thorn in your side!" Scrambling away, a few loose notes of money gently flew out of his pocket, the pick uper Duster moving in to grab it with little hesitation before returning his winnings, and a little something extra, to Tobias. Something odd seemed to be happening to Cupcake, however...

Bluntly responding to Silver's decision, Tobias seemed to have zero interest in the Pokemon's welfare. "Good." Instead, his concern was more attentive to the fact that this abusive teenager was angered over Tobias' decision to pursue Team Rocket. "You are a particularly confusing being. You boast of your harsh training regime and yet you seem so distanced to the idea of devoting your life as a criminal." Taking a small, considering dreg from his cigarette, he shook his head. "The Rockets may very well be rats but i'll have you know i'm something more. Something greater." Flicking off some ash from the tip of his cig, he stuck it back in and blew out another stream of smoke from his nostrils. "I'll play my tune as the pied piper and lead them elsewhere." Finally finishing his cigarette and getting a suitable amount of nicotine in his system, he flicked the stub towards Silver mockingly and awaited the end of this match. Duster may have been sidelined but this obtrusive Bidoof seemed to have a nice fighting streak to her. Taking the Chikorita's hit like it was nothing, the temper tantrum wannabe princess proceeded to soldier on in evoking her wrath at the psycho Grass type. Restraining his anger, Tobias reverted to his cold old self as the Bidoof known as Cupcake unleashed her own chosen attack. Watching as the Chikorita fell to the floor and bit the dust was satisfying to say the least. If these were going to be the typical resistors against Team Rocket then he was going to have a walk in the park in swatting them away. His eye looking at Silver's expression, Tobias had finally claimed domination over this troubling pest. "If you insist. I'll be sure to savour taking over Team Rocket that much more if it bothers you so." Letting the youngster run off out of his view, Tobias was startled slightly by how frenetic Duster had becoming. Not only picking up some money from the scoundrel but a berry which had been hiding in the grass nearby, he was at a loss of what to say. Deciding on not saying anything, he pocked them away. Straightening out his jacket, Tobias looked at the two mammals before him. "I am uncertain what reckless buffoon you two were owned by before but under my guidance, I distinctly deny such outrageous initiatives. No more jumping out of Pokeballs." Out to return them, a sudden burst of light from the Pokemon in question prevented his returning of them. "Hmph. Evolution." Somehow capable of withstanding the light, he awaited as he watched the creature's mass shift around chaotically. With a finishing bright burst of light, Cupcake revealed her new form.  Batting her eyelashes and swivelling her tail around cutely, Cupcake believed herself to look like a beautiful princess without compare. Hoping to catch a glimpse from Duster, her temper tantrum would soon be pushed to the limit with the indifference from him and the harsh words from Tobias. Streaking off towards where Tobias stood, the trainer himself spoke out. "Do you really think I am meant to be impressed? You still look like a joke. Return!" Blowing her cheeks up with anger, she was about to douse Tobias' suit with a burst of water but was prevented by his sudden command. How dare such a man talk to her in such a way. Out of all her life nobody had shown such vulgarity toward her. The vile man was even influencing her beloved Duster. Proceeding to also return Duster, Tobias turned around and proceeded on. Cherrygrove itself didn't seem all too distant. Unfortunately for the cold hating Tobias, he wasn't aware in the slightest of the calamity that would greet him on arrival. Water Gun over Defence Curl, thank youuuuuu. |
