A reminder: If you want to ask an RP thread creator if you can join their RP, do so in private - via conversation or profile messages - or via the thread's discussion thread, if one exists. Do NOT ask if you can join an RP on the RP thread itself! This leads to a lot of unnecessary OOC chatter and that's not what the RP boards are for.

This is clearly stated in our RP forum rules. If you've not read them yet, do so BEFORE posting anything in the RP forums. They may be found here (for Pokémon Role Play) or here (for General Role Play). Remember that the Global Rules of Pokécharms also apply in addition to these rule sets.
Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

Desmond had been unsure what to say.

Normally Aldon's comments of his "charm" would've elicit at the least an eye roll or something as he seemed to note his reaction to Emma's bikini. However the mood shifted when she and Desmond entered their more personal conversation and needless to say Desmond had been left momentarily speechless at what he had heard.

Emma relayed this story to him of the tragic death of her former Wooloo. No, this had not merely been a story but her very essence; a traumatic experience and loss of someone close to her, the horrific image able to make even someone like Desmond who approached Pokemon with caution & fear to recoil a bit as Emma seemed to lose composure and broke down to tears. Desmond, perhaps not even realizing it at first, pulled Emma gently to him to offer a shoulder to cry on while he offered her the one thing he seemed capable of giving.

A hug.

"I am sorry. I am so sorry..." Desmond muttered back, as he had not been sure what else he'd offer. This kind of pain was one he knew quite well, and in spite of himself he seemed to begin to talk again. "...that kind of thing is never easy. I, I am sure you go in your head what you could've done different and this and that and...the pain is never easy. Believe me, but I'm sure Wooloo would want you to press on. Last thing I am sure it wanted was you living in this sorry and regret." Desmond said, as he tried to offer advice and comfort to her even as his own eyes seemed to tear up a bit.

"I'm gonna be the best Pokemon Trainer ever, just watch me Des!"

"Just...I'm here to offer whatever I can. But letting the pain dominate will just make you live in endless regret. Believe me, you nor Wooloo would not want that..." Desmond said, as he seemed to speak from experience though what that experience had been he had not mentioned.

Kricketune had been with Emma's Pokemon and noted the somber atmosphere and in particular the Gastradon. Not knowing what else it needed to do, it went over and tried to offer a hug as a show of support. Politoed had no idea what was going on as it lacked hearing the details but it had seen Desmond and Emma hug which it had taken as a good sign as it had swam by Skol where he let his tail rest in the water.

"Poli?" ("Is there fish in the water?") Politoed asked, innocently curious about that as Mimikyu seemed to chat a bit with Wunder while Desmond had been occupied. "Kyu? Mimikyu~" ("Oh wow you know all that? You seem so smart nice to meet you~")
