Destination: Cherrygrove [Morrigan/Joe only]

[The REAL Joey]

As Joe scampered by the end of the path for Route 29 the sun was beginning to rise in the city of Cherrygrove and Joe paused for a moment to catch his breath. He looked at the entrance to Cherrygrove and was pleased to see there was still relatively few people around. Hopefully by the time Joe began crossing through the area of Cherrygrove it would be filled with people so he wouldn't be as easy to spot. He rearranged his bag over his shoulder and then casually walked into the area whistling to himself while eyeing the surrounding buildings.

[[Indeedly do. This thread is just for me and Joe right now cause I is plotting. :3 Then afterwards, we'll see how it goes lol ]]

Sharada emerged from the automatic doors from the Pokemon center of Cherrygrove and let out a heavy sigh. She thought it was going to be a good idea to travel from Newbark to Cherrygrove over night... but all those rustling and scary noises just made her run all the way there. Ah well, atleast she was able to take a nap thanks to the comfy sofa's in the pokemon center. She opened her eyes slightly to focus on the people around her, quite a few were starting to hurry about. She took a step forward and began to follow the crowd, sighing softly, "Well... What should I do today... Relax I suppo-."

She was suddenly cut off as she felt herself crash into the back of someone. A guy with blonde hair and a crazy bandanna in fact. It caused her to drop her bag on the floor, a few of her pokeballs rolled around her feet, "Ah! Sorry!" she cried quickly, but wasn't too bothered about him. Instead, she quickly knelt to the floor and picked them all. However, one was still missing... Swablu! Sharada's eyes scanned around, but she didnt seem to notice it by the man's foot.

[The REAL Joey]

Joe carried on minding his own business until he felt someone shove into the back of him which had him spin round defensive. As he turned round he saw a girl frantically picking up the Pokeballs that had fallen down on the floor. Before he could say anything he noticed a lone Pokeball had rolled towards his feet. He paused and within a split second he instinctively picked up the rogue Pokeball and hid it carefully in his hand. As she finished picking up the the other Pokeballs, Joe noticed she was searching frantically for the other one. He cleared his throat and caught her attention. "What's the hurry? You bump into people often?" With his spare hand he offered his hand to her in assisting her standing up.

[Morrigan]

Sharada brushed away Joe's hand and quickly jumped up onto her feet, spinning slowly on the spot incase she was sitting on it. With a heavy sigh, she gazed back into her bag, seeing a set of 5 Pokeballs, "Swablu..." she mumbled sadly.

Her attention went back to the guy, a frown spread across her face. But as she took in his appearance a bit more, her frown began to disappear, causing her to quickly turn her head away, "Not usually... Maybe you were just walking too slowly. She shook her head and began to look around on the floor, "Look... I dropped one of my Pokeballs. Could you give me a hand? Or are you getting a thrill about watching a poor girl searching..." She shot him a final look before kneeling back down.

[The REAL Joey]

Although Joe's true intentions were to keep the Pokeball for himself, for some reason he took pittance on this female trainer. He stylishly whipped out the Pokeball he just picked from his belt and extended it towards her. "This what you lookin' for?" He paid careful attention to what her reaction was, almost as if he was trying to gauge her feelings towards receiving the Pokeball back. "Saw it roll over to the side while you were gettin' the others." He commented in a laid back manner.

[Morrigan]

Sharada's eyes soon flickered off from the floor back up to the blonde haired trainer in front of her. Her eyes moved from a frown back into her usually bright, energetic looking eyes. She seemed to jump up from the ground and almost pounced onto his arm, "YOU FOUND IT!" she squealed happily, snatching the ball out of his hand. She gazed at it for a moment... It was odd, but she could deffinatly tell that Swablu was inside. She rubbed it against her face slightly before smiling, "Ahhh! Swablu! I'm so happy!" she tucked it away into her bag before turning her attention back to Joe. She bounced slightly and giggle, "Thank you!"

[The REAL Joey]

Joe noticed she was incredibly overjoyed to have found the Pokeball back and made a mental note that whatever was inside it was of immense closeness to her. As she cuddled the Pokeball and mentioned what was inside it, Joe raised an eyebrow. "A Swablu...? That's hardly all that exciting..." He thought to himself. "Must know a special move or something." He cleared his throat again and tipped his head to her. "Well, good thing you got 'em all. If you don't mind, i'll be making my own way now..." He turned and then slowly carried on his way.

[Morrigan]

Sharada paused as he spoke to her and watched as he began to walk away. She opened her mouth to speak, but what could she say to him? She took a step forward, "Ermmm!" she yelled back to him, but it didnt seem to grab his attention. She thought to herself, maybe there was a way to repay him? After all, she sounded pretty rude.

"AHA!" she suddenly cried, running back towards the guy. "Hold up a second." she spoke, placing a hand on his shoulder and pulling him backwards slightly. She then skipped in front of him to stop him from walking any further, "I was going to go for lunch... Why dont you come along? As my way of saying thanks?"

Just then a Wurmple started attacking the two with String Shot out of nowhere as it jumped out of the grass.

edited by Morrigan: *sigh* Sorry. I dont mean to sound rude, but Im going to have to ignore this. If you look in the Staff board, I said that I was going to give Joe a pokemon or two for his birthday, this is mainly why this thread was made. I just wanted to do it like, super quickly. v___v *surprise has now died. Sorry Joe*

[The REAL Joey]

Joe paused and started to become a little nervous after she asked him to stop. After she called out to him he froze to the spot and he only melted slightly when she said about taking him for lunch. "Phew... Thought she was going to say something else..." He mumbled coldly in his mind. He turned slowly and looked to her. "Err, lunch...?" He wasn't in the mood for socialising and it wouldn't be long before New Bark Research Lab realises something amiss so he can't dawdle. As he opened his mouth to refuse; a large grumble erupted from his stomach and he realised just how hungry he was. Joe hadn't eaten in days. "...Yeah sure, sounds good. I didn't really do all that much though... Heh..." He walked over to her slowly, paying small attention to the people around them. "So where we eating? I'm starving!" He patted his belly and tried to hurry them along so that he could get off the streets.

[Morrigan]

Sharada blinked as the guy took a little while to reply. He seemed slightly nervous, as if he was in a hurry. She raised her eyebrows before gently waving a hand in front of his face, "Yoohoooo?..." Her voice soon faded as the guy spoke back to her. Sharada clapped her hands together happily whilst letting out a giggle, "Okay! Lunch is on me then!... Ooh, but before we head off..."

She smiled to him once more and extended her hand out towards him, "My name is Sharada... And even if you didn't do much, you are a fellow Pokemon Trainer like me. We need to look out for one another at times, right?" as she spoke, she eyed the 3 pokeballs along his belt before casting her eyes back up at him.

[The REAL Joey]

Joe hesitated but decided there wouldn't be too much harm in giving her his name. "Name's Joe." He accepted her hand and shook it firmly. "Nice name Sharada. Quite a unique one too, don't think i've heard it before." He forced a small smile as they exchanged glances. He removed his hand and went to her side. "So, we gonna get going or what? I hate to sound pushy but i'm starved..." He looked further down the street and suddenly started to sweat bullets as he saw a Johto Police Officer. "Once we get there i'm sure we can discuss trainer tips or something." He said as he grabbed her arm and began to walk with her in tow.

OOC: Guess you didn't need a mod post after all, sorry.

[The REAL Joey]

OOC: It's cool, don't worry

[Morrigan]

[[No worries Kairi! ^^]]

Sharada smiled softly as the guy said his name, "Joe, hm?" she nodded to him, firmly gripping onto his hand, "Joey it is then!" she giggled and stuck her tongue out slightly. As Joe spotted the police officer, Sharada was facing the other way, a hand on her chin, "Now... I thought there was a Cafe around here somewhere... W-aaah!" She seemed to jump as Joe forcefully grabbed her arm and began to pull her behind him, "S-Sure!" She raised her eyebrows slightly before letting out a sigh, Jeez... He likes to rush around. she thought to herself.

As the pair continued to walk through the streets of Cherrygrove, wading themselves through the crowds of people, the Cafe that Sharada had been searching for finally came into view. Before they knew it, they were standing right at the entrance, "I was thinking... Here, maybe?" She took a glance inside of the building and noticed that there were still a few tables spare. Sharada smiled and pointed inside, "You go and grab a seat, yeah? Dont run away."
