ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: -- | Time: --- | Arriving from Palm Beach! Zaiden jumped backwards as a spray of sand hit his face. Shocked and confused, he dropped the small piece of granite that he picked up and blinked profusely as he tried to understand what happened. Was there a sandstorm whipping itself up in the distance. Gulping, the beige teenager shielded his eyes from the burning sun above and studied the skies above him. Nothing seemed to indicate a possible storm brewing - only the thick fog that clung in the air around them. As Zaiden turned his attention down towards the ground where he'd dropped the rock, he blinked and tried to look and see what caused the sandy attack. Though, at first, nothing seemed to stir around - once he'd noticed the small stone's movement, Zaiden smiled brightly. It was a wild Pokemon! Even if he had already captured this Pokémon before, Zaiden was still excited to come across another. Could he capture this one and see if there was any interest in it around the local trading posts back on the mainland? Though, if he never managed to make it back there, the young lad would be stuck slowly building up his collection. He grimaced and shook his head as he fumbled around on his belt and pulled off a small red-and-white ball. It made more sense to battle the Pokemon and move on. At least then he'd have the chance of stumbling upon newer Pokémon that he hasn't seen or caught before. Zaiden pressed the small button in the center of the Pokeball and released a small humanoid Pokémon with an onion- shaped head. Senshi blinked several times and searched around for the strange gathering of women that he wanted to help previously, though he only saw a tall teenager and a wild Dwebble near a rocky poolside. How did he even get here? Where was the Pokémon he'd been battling before - and the Pokémon search he witnessed before? Where was the strange blue-haired lady that Senshi assumed had been the one to capture him? "There is much to consider for this moment..." Senshi pressed one hand underneath his chin and thought deeply to himself. He would slowly settle himself on the ground underfoot and fold his legs up in a criss-cross pattern. Perhaps Senshi should reflect on the moment and all the things that must have happened to bring him here, instead? He closed his eyes and hummed underneath his breath as he focused on the auras around him and the strange transfer of aura when he first joined Zaiden's group. Senshi could recall the day the transfer happened clearly, even if he never left the comfort of his Pokeball. His trainer exuded a strong, confident aura of her own that carried her far in life. His ball was placed on a strange conveyer belt, transported over, and picked up by this strange child whose aura reeked of anxiety and self-doubt. So that's what happened, then, Senshi thought to himself as he opened his eyes once more. He was traded off as easily as he had been captured. "Tell me..." Senshi stood back up and stretched his arms and legs in preparation of the upcoming battle. Dwebble's aura was strong as well, and seemed as though it would like nothing more than for Senshi and his newfound trainer to leave it alone. "Where are we now? What is it you're hoping to accomplish with your sands?" Senshi asked his companion. Even if he suspected the answer, Senshi wanted the other Pokemon to confirm it for him. "Senshi use Confusion." Zaiden instructed, to which Senshi nodded firmly. His eyes would begin to glow with a strange pinkish-purple light as he aimed to attack the Dwebble. OOC: Sending out Senshi and using Confusion!

"Hey! HEY HEY!" The dwebble protested loudly as it suddenly dropped from its height, it was a bit more direct that how it had wanted to be put down. It withdrew into its homemade shell which endured the landing and rolled a bit before the dwebble poked out and turned to try check how it shell had fared and if it needed any repairs.
"You should really be more careful! Do you know how much work it takes to make this and keep it in top condition? Do you know how important it is to me?" It scolded Zaiden without looking at him until it was pleased with how its shell looked. It felt proud that it had made such hard shell which could handle being through around as well.

It turned to be faced with a strange blue pokemon with cryptic sayings, "what?" The bug type asked dumbfounded, "about what? How to get your human to look where he walks and put his hands?"
The dwebble looked indignant at Senshi, "You are where I live and I hope to get the human to put me down and leave me in peace instead of throwing me around! Is that too much to ask?" It retorted, "who are you and why are you even here? And why are you bothering me? If you really want to ask question you can just as fine answer some," the dwebble demanded to know and got one more questions when the meditite's psychic powers surrounded it and lifted it up in the air only to drop it down on the ground again.
"Hey, HEY! What are you doing?!" It shouted and quickly withdrew to protect itself from the worst of the landing once more.
It popped out immediately and threw a handful of sand into the eyes of Senshi, "are you trying to destroy my shell?!"

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: -- | Time: --- | Arriving from Palm Beach! Senshi watched the strange hermit crab fret over its home and yell at his newfound trainer. Zaiden seemed to be oblivious about everything around him. Was that the type of trainer the Senshi had come underneath the ownership of? If that was the case, would it be up to Senshi to help guide his new trainer in the ways of leading Pokemon in battles and help his trainer gain some sort of confidence in himself? He sighed, tilting his head a bit, and focused on the large brownish-grey rock that the bright reddish-orange bug pulled around from behind itself. “So you made your home yourself?” Senshi asked with great interest and intrigue. “How exactly did you make it?” Senshi wouldn’t be the only one asking questions, however. The Dwebble spun around and immediately slung questions back as Senshi in a fast paced manner. It seemed…greatly upset. Was it just the damage that its home had taken that bothered it? Or was there some other issues that festered just beneath the layers? Senshi wanted to know more and wanted to understand all of Dwebble’s motivations beyond the superficial layers that Senshi noticed off the bat. “That seems fair.” He nodded, pushing himself to stand up on his two legs. He would stretch his legs and arms out carefully and place his hands on his hips as he thought about Dwebble’s questions carefully and hummed softly underneath his breath. “I am where you live…” Senshi nodded. He could understand that. His large black eyes began to glow with a bright blue light as he murmured underneath his breath a bit, then finally spoke up loud enough to be sure that Dwebble would hear as well. “But where is that? This place where you live? And my trainer…I’m not sure. He isn’t my first trainer and I’m still new to his ways…” Meditite frowned as he turned to Zaiden, who seemed fixated on the angry little bug. The teenager carefully backed away as soon as Dwebble began swinging its claws around, careful to avoid the bug’s pinchers as best as he could. “Senshi use Confusion again.” Zaiden quickly ordered. Senshi sighed with a firm nod as he turned back to the rest of Dwebble’s questions. “I really…do not know why I am here. I am Senshi, a Meditite. I am part psychic and part fighting. I am trying to understand you – your motives, your emotions – knowledge is what I seek. Is that such a terrible goal? I find it to be a noble goal.” Senshi continued to respond as he tried to engulf the other Pokemon in his psychic powers. He’d try to be more careful about Dwebble’s home so that he wouldn’t have to crack it unnecessarily in the midst of their fray. Senshi couldn’t blame the strange bug for wanting to protect its home if it had worked hard at creating the home. If he was able to hit him with his attack, Senshi would only try to pick the Dwebble up and gently toss him into the deeper parts of the water around them to spare the shell specifically from the worst of the attacks. “And I’m only battling you. That’s all. My trainer seems to think we need to battle.” Senshi explained firmly. OOC: Senshi uses Confusion! Words: 552 | Speech.

"Yes! And you are trying to destroy it!" The dwebble shouted only to be met with neverending calm and long moments of thoughts to answer its questions. It calmed down the dwebble as it was such strange experience and it is hard to be furious at someone who isn't really bothered by it at all or giving you any aggression back.
It looked around restlessly, "It's.. it's an island," it said, as it had talked with others living here but honestly didn't know what it was or what was beyond the sea. It hadn't thought about it. "It's here." It didn't know how else to explain it.
It's face darkened a bit as Senshi wondered aloud about his trainer, it didn't sound like he was going to do anything about it.
"So you are just going to throw me around to his bidding for no reason at all?!" It snapped as anger rose inside it again.
"Why are you so disrespectful?!" It complained, "I'm here trying to live my own life in peace and then you just wade right in and think you can treat me like some sort of speechless rock?! Who do you think you are?!"

Whatever answer Senshi had to that part, it didn't stop him from psychically picking up the dwebble and throw it again, straight into the water. The dwebble screamed from the impact and frantically fought to get out again, where it lay on the rocks painting shocked. "Are you crazy?! Are you trying to kill me?!" It screeched and mindlessly threw things from around it at the meditite, bombarding him with what turned out mostly to be just sand and pebbles. "Can't you see I'm wearing a rock?! I can't live in water or I'd be there already!"

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: -- | Time: --- | Arriving from Palm Beach! Senshi sat down on the ground for a second and folded his legs underneath his body. The small rocks underneath his butt hurt as their sharp, pointed ends pokes and prodded him. Senshi would move about and scoot across the ground just enough until he could create the perfect seat for himself, where he studied the reddish-orange bug that just poked out of its rocky home and seemed to respond carefully to his questions – but clearly not all of them. “Is it with your pinchers?” Senshi pointed to Dwebble’s arms and nodded his head thoughtfully. “Did you use them to carve the hole into the rock and make it into a home?” There wasn’t much that Senshi could do if the wild Pokemon didn’t want to respond to the whys and hows of the creation behind its home, though. Would Senshi get up and try to force the Pokemon to spill the beans? No. Some things you just weren’t privy to know, even if Senshi’s unnatural thirst for knowledge wouldn’t stop him from wanting to know. The thick fog that swallowed them up caused Senshi to squint to try and see his opponent, and at many intervals the Dwebble was less a bright orange-red bug and more a dark silhouette in the distance. “An island…so we’re floating off in the distance and surrounded by water on all ends…” That made little to no sense to Senshi. It wasn’t that long ago that the Meditite had wandered around the densely forested areas around what the humans called ‘Azalea Town’, where his old home was. Did this new trainer choose to swim all the way out here by himself or did he sail over on a boat? If Zaiden did travel here by boat and was only visiting it for the time being, couldn’t they easily board back up and sail off towards the drier lands of the Johto regions that Senshi was used to? Or was there something more here that Senshi needed to figure out and uncover himself? “I suppose that makes a lot of sense…But I’m guessing you don’t know about such places like ‘Azalea’ or ‘Route 33’? See, my old home was near that area before I was captured.” Senshi sighed and explained. The sand that slapped him in the face didn’t seem to phase him much. Of course, it did make it tough to see and compounded the visual issue Senshi was already suffering in the dense fog. He had to rub his eyes and try to knock away the worst of the dirt and debris from his field of vision, though some small gritty bits clung to the corner of his eyes. Senshi’s eyes burned and ached from the pain and swelled a bit from the impact of the sands that buried inside of their corners. “I suppose I could fight back, but it wouldn’t change much. I am owned by him. If not me, then he would just send out another to battle you. Can’t we try to make it fun?” Senshi would try to pick Dwebble up once more with his psychic powers as Zaiden shouted, “Keep it up, Senshi! You’re doing a great job!” This time he would try to float the small rocky Pokemon away from the waters to a softer and more sandier area near the rocky poolside. Hopefully this could help calm Dwebble down. It seemed that Dwebble fretted the most over damaging its home and Senshi couldn’t be upset that the wild Pokemon didn’t like battles if it meant he’d need to create a new home after every single one. Surely Senshi could be more thoughtful about how he used his psychic attacks, so that the wild Pokemon didn’t have to worry about such things? OOC: Senshi uses Confusion! Words: 632 | Speech.

The dwebble stared speechless and outrageous at Senshi, it was like the meditite was living in his own world and didn't really notice what was going on around him. Dwebble would have loved chatting about how it made its home and how important it was to it but it was a bit hard to concentrate on when it was constantly thrown around and even dropped into the water. And Senshi acted like like it hadn't happened and ignored the part rock type's exclamation.
"Why do you think I can chit chat when I don't know where you throw me next?! If you want answers to your questions you at least has to find a way for me to be able to answer them, and now fearing you will drown me the next minute!" It snapped, "why should I waste time telling you anything when you are only listening to half of it and not thinking for yourself?!"
It stomped around frustrated, "My rock is precious and I have never heard of any islands which floats! How stupid is that?" It raged on, "and no! Never heard of that and I don't care!"
It paused and stared at Senshi like he had grown three extra heads and a fish tail, "fun? FUN?! You think it can be fun when you throw me into the water and tries to kill me?! That's not fun! That's abuse!" It shrieked and got picked up once again by the meditite and carried through the air despite its loud protests.
It dumped down into some soft sand but was too upset to realize the favor Senshi had tried to give it, or realize it only heard half what was spoken to it itself. Right now though, it really didn't hear anything, blocking out any words in pure fury.
"That's it! No more mister nice guy!" It screeched and rushed over the pointy rocks surprisingly fast and it furiously cut with its claws over the meditite, letting out all its rage over him.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: -- | Time: --- | Arriving from Palm Beach! The small humanoid Pokemon placed his hands on his onion-shaped head and released a deep sigh from the tip of his lips. He needed to concentrate to try and better understand this Pokemon and its frustrations. Senshi slowly closed his eyes and just listened to the world around him for a moment while trying to calm down his own emotions that labored in the pit of his chest. The gently lapping waves of the beach were calming to his nerves, while cried from seabirds far off into the distance in some unknown charted lands called out from the heavens above. Still, the small bug’s angry cries overlapped and overpowered these softer sounds, pulling him back down into the waking world. “A caught Pokemon must obey their trainer’s commands.” Senshi tried to calmly explain and gestured towards the young mousy-brown haired lad that stood just a few feet away from them. Zaiden watched on with wide, interested eyes as it appeared like his Pokemon was easily winning the fight. Though the piles of sand that the bright red hermit crab had sent flying at Senshi caused his Pokemon to stumble about a bit in search of his opponent, the teenage trainer was happy to see how well Senshi managed to uncover his prey and easily thwart him in the heat of the moment. “Why don’t you help me? Is this spot dangerous for you? May we can change our focus and I can instead carry you to safer land?” Was Senshi only listening to half of what the bug was saying? It didn’t seem to make any sense to the small onion shaped humanoid Pokemon. He lifted himself up off the ground to stand up on his two feet and folded his arms across his chest. Senshi turned around and studied the world around him as he gently tapped the side of his face with one of his hands and hummed underneath his breath softly. Perhaps he was tackling this from the wrong angle and causing the Pokemon nearby too much grief and turmoil in the process? “What have I overlooked or ignored? Please, help me understand.” Senshi asked his ‘opponent’ softly as though he were just barely whispering the words off the tip of his tongue. Zaiden blinked as he watched his Pokemon stand there and seem to carry on a conversation with the screaming hermit crab. “You’ve almost won, Senshi!” The trainer preemptively congratulated his Pokemon and silently reached into his pocket for a spare Pokeball. Although he didn’t want to capture this Pokemon given that he already had a Dwebble of his own, Zaiden simply prepped himself incase things go south too quickly, and he had to change course to try and save the moment. “Another confusion should do the trick!” Zaiden stated confidently and nodded his head approvingly in Dwebble’s direction while he awaited Senshi’s (hopefully) final move. Senshi turned around and glanced back at his trainer. He stared into Zaiden’s deep, rich brown eyes for only a second, then turned back around to face Dwebble. “Islands are landmasses that are completely surrounded by water on all sides. Essentially we’re ‘floating’ off in the distance somewhere, as there are no mainlands nearby that we can reach to get off the island.” Senshi continued calmly, ignoring the bug’s insults for now. His eyes began to glow with a bright blue light once more as he focused on the Dwebble and would carefully try to lift him up and carry him wherever the Dwebble demanded to be put down (or just drop it back in the exact same spot if it did not specify). “Where would you like to be placed?” Senshi would ask IF his move was successful. “I suppose you don’t want to tell me how you made your home?” Senshi asked a final time.

"Excuses! An easy way to pretend you hold no guilt and that you are innocent!" The dwebble scoffed, "I'm not believing you! That two legged thing doesn't hold any power over you, you could turn against him any moment but chooses not to. You just like to do what he asks of you and you are not fooling anybody!" It was panting after its furious attacks but its hope was dwindling, it didn't seem to be able to get through to the meditite and do any real lasting impact. Mostly physcial, if it had been able to gain respect from Senshi he would stop throwing it around, right?
"Why would I help you?! How would it ever benefit me? I was safe and sound until you and your human popped in and decided to destroy my day" It wailed dramatically, "if you want to help me, then leave!"

"What? Why are you speaking so quietly?" The dwebble complained when Senshi whispered his question, which was a shame since it would probably have caused the dwebble to list all of the things it thought Senshi should have heard, and probably a lot of things which it thought he should know, no matter if they had talked about it before or not.
The dwebble snorted and pointed its small nose at the sky, "floating! You need to talk with a pokemon who lives in the water! I have! And I know the ground continues all the way down! It's just flooded and this is the highest point!" It declared smugly, liking it knew more about the subject than its opponent.

"Wait?! Nonononono!" It protested loudly when it got lifted off the ground again and it withdrew into its shell for protection. "Somewhere soft and dry and away from the water," came the grumpy answer from inside the shell, "not that it makes any difference when you aren't listening to a word I'm saying! And definitely not! You're rude!" It refused, as it stubbornly refused to give Senshi the one thing he wanted. It was the only thing it had left to be smug about.
