A black and white figure had been resting in the forest, when an orange lizard had literally appeared from nowhere. Although it had startled the creature, it had seen worse things. A Charmander with ghost-type abilities, okay then. With everything that had been going on lately, that wasn't too surprising. A pair of cyan eyes had watched as the fire-type awoke and seemed to... panic? before letting out a shrill scream that caused the fox-like form to cringe. 'Okay, definitely a female,' it thought, shaking its head. After its ears stopped ringing, it picked up the sounds of scaled feet hitting the ground, and sniffed the air. 'Ooh, a Krokorok! This should be fun!' The form quickly scaled a tree, and waited to see how the encounter what end. Unfortunately, the fight it hoped for didn't break out, and the Krokorok decided to help the Charmander get to a nearby town. Deciding to follow the duo, the form kept to the shadows. Thanks to its mostly black pelt, it hid in them well. The Eevee tried to figure out where they were going, and soon learned by listening to them speak. 'Post Town?' she had been there before, never inside of it, but around it. It looked like a pretty nice place, but what did she know? She followed them to the edge of the town, then stopped, debating whether or not to go in. She didn't care much for crowds, having raised herself in the wild. Finally, she chose to go in, weaving in and out of the stores. She watched as the Krokorok was stopped by a Manectric, only for the electric-type to be shoved away, and allowed herself a small laugh. The Eevee froze when they entered the inn, and debated going in or not. She had heard the fire-type saying that she wanted to start a team, and that's what the normal-type had spent her life preparing for. The well-muscled black Eevee stalked in, feeling the eyes of a couple Pokemon who had turned to look at her, startled by the three defacing scars down the left side of her face.. Shadow sat down in the shadows of the stairs, her white-tipped tail tapping slightly, as she watched Koro and Hannah.

Home. Money. Geez, he was getting more involved than necessary. Koro seemed to think for a moment before growling to himself. ”I’m not from here… but I know Quagsire has been talking about wanting to get rid of some awful land. It’s not great, but it’s good enough for now. Get a roof over your head. But for now, I’m sure you can do some work for him. He may let you live there.” There was never a guarantee with that, unfortunately. But the krokorok decided there wasn’t much in the way of other options for home. ”You could work for one of the shop owners here too, or even Miss Swana. But I guess ya gotta make friends with them, and honestly, not many folks like making friends anymore.”
The ground type huffed and moved on towards the door, looking at the other pokemon which seemed to be talking to themselves and looking at something. He really wasn’t aware of what it was though and considered it something to be beyond is interest and lacking of real importance to him. ”Come on, Hannah. Let’s see if we can meet with Quagsire and the shop owners to get you a job.”

Hannah listened and nodded as Koro spoke about what she could do and blinked in shock when he said a Quagsire may have some land to sell. Wow she never thought pokemon where so much like humans, it was kinda neat if she did say so herself Though when Koro went on to say she could work at the stores for money Hannah shook her head, " I don't think working in a store would work for me. Umm.. I know I will ask around to see if there is anything else I do yeah!"" Hannah said with a smile bound determined not to have to lean on Koro for help all the time. Though she then noticed the other pokemon pointing and whispering, she blinked and followed where they where staring and blinked in shock to see a black and white Eeevee, was it a shiny or something?
Hannah then shook her head and then frowned at everyone else, " Hey its not very nice to point and stare guys sheesh..."" Hannah said a she sighed and shook her head. She then looked at the Eevee,smiled and waved as she then left the Inn to go find this Quagsire. " I;m going to find Quagsire first if he is selling land he may know what I can do to get some money."" Hannah said with a smile as she then started to run.

Shadow tilted her head as the Krokorok spoke about a Quagsire who was wanting to sell some poorly land. She had never seen a Quagsire before, and didn't know what it was. She frowned, ears flattening as more Pokemon pointed at her, whispering. Very few Pokemon had alternate coloration, even rarer then a shiny coloration. She wondered if the Charmander still wanted to form a rescue team, or if she would rather have a job in the stores.
'What does he mean, not many people want to make friends any more?' she wondered, beginning to wish that she hung around town more often. When she saw the ground-type begin to move toward the door, she stood, readying to move. She was beyond startled when the Charmander defended her, telling them it wasn't nice to point and stare. She gave a small smile in return when the fire-type smiled and waved, then followed behind as she left, listening.
For the first time, she spoke. “Hey, wait!” she called to the Charmander and Krokorok, hoping to stop them before they could get to far ahead. From the raspy quality of her voice, it was obvious she didn't use it often. Racing to catch up, and limping on her left foreleg where the claws that had defaced her had continued, leaving three more scars and crippling her, but not crippling her enough to stop her from surviving and being able to fight. “I heard you mention that you wanted to start an exploration team. Did you mean it?” she questioned.

Had Koro paid attention, he would have noted the poor eevee being mocked by the others. Then again, he wasn’t much above their level and probably would have scoffed some at this stranger. It was already a stretch for him to be helping this charmander, but more than one might’ve been much to ask. He was nearly out the door before being stopped by this said eevee. He couldn’t help but notice not only her coloring but the scars across her face. Geez, what had this poor kid gotten involved with? There was also a lack of fur along her leg, more scarring being that cause. She ran alright, but it was hobbled and weak. What kind of pokemon could do this to another? Despite all this, he snorted at her words.
”You don’t really think an exploration team can make it out there, do you?” he questioned, looking quite incredulous. ”I mean, you’re safer in your own bed than out in the world like that. Hannah knows that too. Right?” He looked at the charmander as if to confirm this. But he realized she didn’t seem nearly as lost for hope as many others did. Honestly, Hannah was naïve but that was a refreshing thing in his mind. Would her naïve attitude actually lead to an exploration team? Here? The other pokemon were quiet, listening in and watching like it was some great soap opera or something. They were just as curious as he was.

Hanna nearly feel over trying to stop when the Eevee she stood up for call out to her. She then blinked and looked at the normal type pokemon. Getting a better look she saw she had scars like a huge pokemon took a swipe at her. That made Hannah wonder what happened to her.. though those questions could be found out later, as it seemed the Eevee over heard she wanted to start a team and seemed like she wanted to join. Wow Hannah never thought she would get someone so fast. But before she could answer Koro spoke and what he said made Hannah frown. She looked up at the dark growned type and shook her head. She then looked back at the Eevee smiled and nodded, "Yes, I want to start a team. If you want to join you are more them welcome." Hannah said ignoreing Koro at the moment.
She then looked back at Koro with a frown and crossed her arms. " That may be true Koro but I have something I feel I must do and someone I need to find.. And to do that I need to go out into that world no matter the danger. And I need a team to help, I don't know what is going on to make pokemon not trust each other but I wont let that stop me from trying to make friends. If you just took the time to open your heart you wound find there are pokemon out there who are kind.. And here I thought you had a dream to help your family.. How are you going to get strong thinking like that?"" Hannah said rather bluntly. Hannah then turned and started to walk away. "I'm going to find Quagsire rather you come with me or not..." Hannah said looking back at Koro and the Eevee as she started to walk away..

The dark Eevee's brow furrowed when the ground type snorted at her, and she dug her claws into the ground. “Yes, I do think an Exploration Team can make it out there” she copied his voice, “because in this world there is strength in numbers. And right now, our beds are not safe either, all things considered.” she frowned.
However, the frown slid into a small smile, a slight one mind you, when the Charmander spoke. “Yes, I want to start a team. If you want to join you are more them welcome.” her tail wagged slightly. Very few Pokemon would allow you to just join their Exploration Team out of the view, and the fire-type didn't even know her name! She couldn't wait to have an actual home, a true bed. She couldn't wait until she knew that she would have a roof above her head, and food in her stomach.
“T-thank you,” she stammered, her grin widening as her tail wagged faster. However, it slowed when the Charmander looked at the ground-type and crossed her arms before speaking. As the Eevee listened she couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with the Krokorok's family, but knew it wasn't her place to ask. Instead, she stood back and waited.
When the Charmander turned her back on them and walked away, however, the Eevee stood up and darted to catch up to her, following about a body length behind, not being very used to being very close to someone. Her ears twitched at the odd sound of the Charmander's pawsteps. 'Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch,' while her own went 'Tap crunch, crunch, crunch.'
After minute or two of silence, the normal-type finally spoke. “So...my name's Shadow.”
