Ask to Join The Epidemic Virus Part 3; Order of the Dokuro; RP Thread

[EeveeBlueSisters]

(Alright)

Ember saw the shiny Glaceon ask if she was ok. "Flareon..." ("Yes I'm alright, just got hurt for no reason by Luna's Absol and Lunatone....honestly Blade is more well trained then him...sigh...now I have to fix this fur of mine again when it took so long to prepare it like I do..." Ember said sighing as she shook herself before using her paw to start fixing it up again. "Is that your trainer Glaceon, I'm Ember a shiny Flareon so you don't have to call me Flareon" she introduced before looking at him curiously.

Maskerin saw Luna stomp back into the kitchen as she left her alone for now. Missy followed her out holding another tray of tea. She walked up to the male that walked in as she gave a gentle smile. "Hello sir, want some tea...I made it myself...it will warm you up if your cold..." She said shyly before looking to Milo. "Milo are you ok?" She asked helping him up as she brushed his clothing to get the dirt off. "It seems...something happened...while I was in the kitchen...was it...any of my fault in the matter..." She asked as Missy placed down the tray of tea on the table floating next to Maskerin. Mask watched closely as he stood next to his sister in a protective way.

"Guys guys, please," Milo begged, "Luna wait-" he tried to call out for her, but she has already stormed towards the kitchen. He sighed, seeing there was nothing that he could do, he just hopes she's not mad at him or Maskerin for anything. "It's alright Lu," he said, waving at the male, used to their morse coding all the time, "J-just get your sister under control, she went too far on that one." he suggested, "She usually wasn't like that so I don't know what happened," he told him. "Oh, Maskerin, dear oh god that was crazy," he told her, getting up with her help, "Thank you thank you, yes I'm alright," he assured her, twisting a bit so she wouldn't have to move too much trying to dust him off, "the floor is a bit dirty, look at all this dirt." he laughed, though the humor wasn't in it, "And...about the fight..." he scratched his head nervously. "I don't know...she just suddenly acted up after Ember got on my shoulder, pity, she was a nice scarf just like how she claimed to be." he chuckled. Patting Maskerin on the shoulder, Milo sighed, "Man, what a weird day, Ninji's necklace is working a tad bit too much." he laughed dryly, "Now now, let's not dwell on this, let's instead go find Luna, maybe she'll explain all this." he suggested, "And we should get Ember treated, I hope that scratch doesn't hurt as much as it looked." he visibly cringed at the thought. "Maskerin, did something happen between you and Luna? She doesn't seem to be a good mood when she saw you today..."

Phoenix's ears were flat on his head menacing, growling at the Lunatone that tripped his trainer, though he didn't say much as Milo wouldn't approve if they fought. Instead, he walked over towards his trainer, standing next to him as he waited patiently for an order. Kiki laughed at Key's comment, not believing it, "Milo is bad with girls? Man, then how does he dealt with them each day?" he laughed, "But yeah, sometimes he doesn't do well with them, if it's personal." he told her. "And yeah, I think we should go check." he agreed, not having a good feeling at all about this.

Winter barked happily at the kind soul of Ember, "Glaceon glaceon! ("I'm Winter! Nice to meet you! I'm shiny too! Except you're a Flareon and I'm a Glaceon! And also, who's Blade?")". Winter hopped towards Lu and bounced around him before going to Ember again.
Lu sighed and shook his head at Maskerin with morse codes after, "No, I'm fine. Thank you though, very helpful, unlike my sister...". He glanced at Milo, "Milo, who's this nice young lady you're friends with?" he sign languaged. Two shadows rose up behind Lu, it turns out to be Nemesis, his Absol, and Sibyl, Lu's Ninetales. Nemesis went over to Winter, barking at him to return to Lu, Winter pouted and barked a 'Nice to meet you again!' to Ember before cuddling Lu. Sibyl was ordered by Lu to go check on Luna, so Sibyl did what she was told to, chase Luna, the angry brat.
Sibyl hopped to Luna, who Zero, Luna's Zorua, pushed away. Sibyl barked at Zero that she's here to comfort Luna, but Zero was stubborn and kept growling for Sibyl to stay back, at last, Sibyl hopped out, tugging Lu.
Lu glanced and telling by Sibyl's angry face, he can obviously tell Luna rejected Sibyl's comfort. Lu growled, wanting to punch Luna in the face so bad, he held back, in his head mumbling some Ugh... this girl, learn her lessons. and also Sibyl is showing mercy on her before she burns her in the face!
Winter secretly, away from Nemesis's view, he went to Ember again for another chat, "Glaceon! (Ember! Hey there!)" Winter happily barked as he went to the shiny Flareon.
Lu sighed as he used morse code once again, "Milo, how...is..." he paused, then continued, "how's Pheonix and Ditti? Are they injured like this..." he paused again, "this Flareon did?" he finished. His shoulder twitched for a few minutes because of his nervousness. He giggled.

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

Maskerin looked to Milo abd just shook her head no. "I don't know Milo but...if I were to guess....maybe it's just jealousy....I mean...we are both girls so I kind of know why she acts like that...but it might he towards me...even though I don't want to think it..." She answers Milo before looking to his friend named Lu. "So your name is Lu, its a nice name, I'm Maskerin and this silent male next to me is my brother Mask. Although, he wears a mask we do look alike in some way hehe...since he is always silent most of the time either me or his Pokemon translate for him. Don't worry though he has a very gentle temperament so you will get along with him just fine" she finished holding the tray with her arms. Mask nodded as he looked to Lu bowing his head in greeting.

Ember looked to Winter and gave a gentle smile. "Oh Blade is an Absol who was trained properly by one of our friends. She owes the trainer a lot after what she has done for her. You can say that she made a vow to help her in anyway she can since she saved her from harm because of her title if you know what I mean but anyway its nice to meet you too Winter and Mask is my trainer just so you know hehe. He's the one with the mask on next to Maskerin" Ember said as the lava lamp charm around her neck glowed for the moment.

Key made her way to Maskerin before she asked. "Is everything ok here? I heard a commotion?" She asked concerned as Ninji followed after her. "Sorry about that Milo, sometimes my luck is a little too great" Ninji apologized sighing as her beat fast wings kept her airborne.

@~Add~ @Willow Tree

 

[Willow Tree]

"Don't worry, Kiki, Phoenix, Ditti, they're all fine." Milo assured Lu, "Little Junior is right here, so no need to worry about this problem child." He laughed, bouncing Little Junior lightly in his arms teasingly. Hearing Maskerin's reply, Milo gazed thoughtfully at a wall, "Perhaps it's maybe because she can't perform like you did? I heard girls gets jealous easily when it comes to beauty." He suggested, tapping his chin, "Or maybe...she's into your brother?" He tried, pointing at the masked male, "You are his sister so you two are technically always together, maybe she wanted to spend time with you guys too." He pointed out, "Oh wait, but she barely ever talks to Mask, and this is about the first time you guys ever came here, I don't think Luna even knew who you were Mask, that couldn't be it." He corrected. Giving Maskerin a sympathetic pat on the shoulder, he tried to think of a reason why Luna wouldn't have anything against her, "Don't worry about it, Luna is usually a nice girl, maybe you accidentally did something that offended her without realizing, perhaps apologize to her later and she'll get over it." He told her. "And Ninji, please tell me this won't be everyday." He laughed, "This necklace is beautiful, would be a waste if I can only hang it on a wall due to its immense luck." He joked. Kiki followed right in, levitating towards Milo and hooking his arms protectively around his trainer's shoulder, nearly bringing him up into the air as well, "Woah, slowly there Kiki," he laughed, "I've had enough being carried airborne." He shot an amused glance at Ninji, remembering how she always carried him back then when she first found him. Milo had never went airborne after that, only with seat belts, then he could make an exception. "Let's get back to work, manager wouldn't like seeing us chatting like this." He told them.

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

Maskerin gave a chuckle to Milo. "I don't know....Milo....I just have this feeling it could be you....but maybe your right I should apologize just in case so things don't get out of control...." She before looking to Lu. "Lu...sorry to ask you but...could you help me with this...I don't want to fight with her let alone start one...besides...I don't want my dark side to come out....I rather avoid that personality from anyone....but anyway...have a seat anywhere you like Lu...call me, Luna, or Milo if you need anything ok" she gave a sweet smile before returning to work running into the kitchen. Missy followed after her just in case things with Luna got...Chaotic.

Key looked to Milo and smiled. "Oh...ok just be careful with yourself Milo and Kiki," Key said as she opened her ring to hug Kiki. "Thanks for...not making fun of me Kiki" she said giving a smile before letting go as she followed after Maskerin and Missy into the kitchen only hearing the sound of a jingle from her keys.

(Hooray, now everyone can interact with my post!)

Hades looked around. No wonder why there were so many pokemon. They had seemingly been coming from all those disguised people ambushing them. Yet, what they didn't realize was their fatal mistake; they were in HIS territory. Back then, it was different because the troops were still delayed from approaching due to the distance. Yet, this was right outside his city. Hades smirked behind his mask and reached for his belt, taking out a walkie-talkie that he had with him at all times since he was back in the city, turning it on. He turned the dial on the communication device before speaking into it. " Headhunter here. Execute Order 23: Boomtown. Confirmation code.. " He whispered into the device, so quiet that even JC couldn't hear him. " Approved, Mr. Headhunter. Escape your vicinity immediately. Tracking locations now. " The device responded as Hades put it away again, turning it off. He put it back on his belt and got out his pokeball, tossing it into the air. It revealed his Hydreigon, and Hades put his hand on JC's, helping her up on the Hydreigon. Then, he went back down to quickly grab Blue as Hydreigon went to take off, Hades jumping ontop with Blue held safely on his left shoulder. " C'mon, let's get out of here. Get some distance to enjoy the oncoming fireworks display. " Hades said as the Hydreigon flew up higher, then grabbed onto Wolfa and Meadow with his two smaller heads to help lift them into the air to escape aswell. Then it flew off, leaving the pokemon and suspicious group of assailants to look up at them confused.

Meanwhile, in Dokuro City...
The town plaza begun shaking as the Statue of pre-burned Hades and Hunter had revealed it's very secret; it opened in the middle, moving apart, small stone ledges having risen in the fountain to keep the water inside. The halves had begun moving away as a giant weapon, seemingly a giant mortar tube, had risen out from beneath the statue had stood. When it was fully up on the surface, the ground that the mortar was on began rotating, aiming towards the Lumberjack's Forest. Then, the sound of a fuse burning was heard coming from beneath the mortar tube. As soon as the burning had ceased sounding up, the mortar gave of a very loud booming sound, shooting out a massive ball by the size and width of 5ft towards the forest. It whistled through the air, ready to strike down at Hades' previous location in a few moments.

Also meanwhile, at Hunter's location...
Hunter didn't get it. Why did that other Zoroark think it could get away with Illusions when he could do the same thing? He maybe couldn't control the fact that he would transform into shiny pokemon when he did, but he could take any form he wanted to. Thanks to being Hades' very first pokemon, he fought in every battle Hades had, and had alot of knowledge about the various specimen of Pokemon. Hunter transformed into a Ninjask, a shiny one due to him being shiny also. With ease, he flew over to Blade, picked her up, and flew over to the escaping Zoroark who had transformed into a Taillow, due to the fact that a Ninjask is arguably the fastest pokemon to exist. " Blade, if you will. I think you'll be doing him a favour knocking a few braincells into that empty head of his. "

 

[Willow Tree]

Milo look a bit taken aback by what Maskerin said, confusion written all over his face as he held a dumbfounded look. "Me?!" He gasped, "What did I ever possibly do to make her attack you?" He exclaimed, worried about the situation, "Oh dear, if that was the case then I'm so sorry Maskerin." He apologized, suddenly remembering the earlier situation where Luna mistaken Milo as crying with Maskerin at fault, "I might have an idea on what you're talking about but....oh god it'll be hard to explain." He shook his head and let out a sigh, "We'll deal with it later, remember we still have a hangout to go to." He reminded her, wiping his hands on a cloth, cleaning it off the dirt he gained when Lunar tripped him. "I'll be taking care of the supplies in the garage for now, call me if you need me." He offered, disappearing as he walked slowly downstairs, Little Junior in arm and Phoenix and Ditti following shortly after

Kiki blushed, his keys jingling happily as the embrace warmed him, "Y-Yeah, of course! Anytime!" He laughed nervously, patting Key as she released him. "See you around!" He called, then proceeding to follow after Milo when he left downstairs.

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

She sighed. " I could have just returned the girls Hades..." She said pulling out there Luxury balls before returning them to lift the weight off Hydredigon. She held onto Hades chest as she looked around. She moved her mask to the side to have a better view. Blue fixed herself to rest on Hades shoulders but moved to where her whole body was on his head. "Blue really...come on he needs his head...you silly Umbreon. "But....his head is comfortable...." Blue said. She chuckled looking to her. "I never said you couldn't be on his head Blue..."she told her sighing. "Just don't steal him..." She said. Blue chuckled looking to her partner. "Please tell me your not going to make something explode Hades..." She sighed placing her hands on his shoulders pulling herself up to her knees.

@DevVoid

 

[DevVoid]

Hades looked to JC and grinned behind his mask as the Hydreigon flew a bit farther away. " Oh, I'm not going to make something explode.. " He assured, then took Blue off his head to get a better view of the massive iron orb sizzling through the sky above them. He pointed at it, moving Blue to his shoulders to ensure she could see it too. " ...but that thing is going to make something explode. " He watched it arc through the sky and soon fall down onto the mass of trainers and pokemon. It exploded upon impact into a glowing crimson cloud of dense smoke. Limbs and guts flew up high into the sky, with the Hydreigon catching an arm that flew up to nearly hit its left-most smaller head. " It's one of our experimental rounds. We call it 'Burning Fury'. The gas that you see turn up into smoke down there is dangerous. It stimulates your adrenaline and muscle mass, but the sudden energy all goes to mostly your brain, making you unable to think at all. Thus making you feral, due to having to rely on sheer primal instinct. But, it also contains a deadly toxin that can kill you within 10 minutes of breathing the gas in. It's especially useful on zombies, because they go after eachother since they cannot tell eachother apart from living creatures anymore. It takes longer for the toxin to kill them, but that is exchanged with the fact that they die faster from eachother. This is but one of many experimental projects and weapons we have developed. I know it doesn't exactly seem right to use them now, but we have to test the chemical on living things, too. And since these are all bad guys, they are a perfect target. " Hades explained as the toxic crimson gas spread out very slowly, then stood still in the air as all the surrounding trees that weren't burned or destroyed from the explosion began filtering it out. " It'll be over in... hm, about.. let's say 20 minutes. That's when the gas will clear up. " He finished, then commanded his Hydreigon to fly to the town plaza. JC and Blue could see where the giant shot came from; a massive mortar that rose from where the statue once stood, with the statue itself split apart and moved to the side.

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

Mask was told by Maskerin to notify Justin that thetly should be here soon. He casted out Shield his female Aegislash as she appeared in front of him. "Yes, Mask?" She said. "How can I assist you?" She added. "Notify....Justin that...we will be there soon...and check to make sure....he is ok..." He whispered for only Shield to hear. "Of course Mask, right away" Shield said bowing to him before she floated off to the military building. Upon looking around, she saw a male looking out the window. She floated over to it and went through it since she was part ghost. "Pardon my appearance here but are you Justin?" She asked in a feminine manner.

@ThatJustin’sASpy!

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

She pulled her scarf like hands from behind her before she spoke. "Mask told me to inform you that we will be arriving here shortly its just work has gotten them...well busy I should say...so sorry about wasting your patients but if you don't mind waiting longer they will be here as soon as they can" she said before placing her hands back behind her.

Maskerin came out of the kitchen again holding a garbage bag as Missy was holding one as well but was using Psychic. She ran pass Lu before making her way out and saw Milo. "Oh Greetings Milo, would you mind taking this from Missy and me" she smiled sweetly. "We should be almost done here before we head over to where Justin is at ok" she added.

She sighed. "You just did that to just show off...." She said but gave a chuckle. "But I can show off too you know" she said smirking a bit as Blue knew what she was thinking and followed. She jumped off Hydredigon's back as Blue did the same before starting to fall straight down. She pulled out Gem's Luxury ball before it opened revealing a Flygon. Gem saw what JC's was doing and just dived beside her. Gem smiled as she grabbed her once they were literally close to the ground as JC grabbed Blue was her hands. Gem opened her wings before straighting herself flying above ground as she flew back up high next to Hydredigon. She chuckled. "Well that was fun"

@Willow Tree @~Add~ @ThatJustin’sASpy! @DevVoid

 

[DevVoid]

" Well, I didn't rea- " He cut himself off as he saw JC and Blue just suddendly jump off. He blinked a few times, watching them fall, silent in shock. Then, he saw them land on JC's Flygon. Even when they flew back up to him, he just remained in the same pose, looking down again. He was still processing what just happened. He looked back up, and to the City. " Don't do that again, please. You almost gave me a heart attack. " He sighed, snapping out of his trance. " Well.. as I was saying.. it was less showing off but more just.. pride. And having finally been given the opportunity to test the experimental weaponry on subjects that deserve it. "

 

[Willow Tree]

"Oh Maskerin, why of course dear, here, hand it over." He offered, taking the garbage bags from Maskerin and her pokemons, "And we should get going soon, wouldn't want to keep them waiting." He agreed, handing one of the bags to Little Junior. "Perhaps bring a treat or two from here, but manager would probably only let us have the leftovers, they're like that sometimes." He sighed, "Some people are still selfish at heart, even though they know they're in the city belonging to a powerful leader and gangs." He said, smoothing his curls back with his non dirtied hand, "What do you think we should bring?" He looked over to Maskerin with a curious glance, "Would a Sitrus Swirl bun work? Or should we bring something to drink too? But too many stuff can further weight us down...but it'll be rude to visit them and not bring any gifts..." he drawled, obviously stumped, Little Junior squeaked in agreement, though he was having too much fun with the bag to hear much of the conversation.

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

(Shield has blue eyes instead of the normal colored eye and her scarf hands are completely white)

Shield looked to the masculine Aegislash as she floated in midair. "Greetings, I'm Shield or Shi for short and one of Mask's team members. I only came here to say that we would be coming here soon" she said as she bowed in greeting. "I doesn't make sense for me to go back if I am going to come back again now is there" she said maturely. "I can wait here if you will have me" she added removing her scarf hands from behind her as she used her shield to hold sweet Masaladas that were wrapped. "I bring these sweet Masalada's if you or your Pokemon want any" she added holding them out to Justin.

She gave a chuckle as Gem placed her and Blue on her back. "Sorry, I just haven't done that in a while, reminds me way back before I met you" she said thinking about something for the moment. "If this had happened and I didn't meet you, I wonder how you would have been maybe you would have been that reckless guy like you usually was and I would be that stubborn closed in female and maybe just maybe hate Team Skull but anything depends as you age huh" she said before Gem flew more close again and got on Hydreigons back before her hands rested on his shoulders again. "How about we go for a swim later with Delta since you don't have a water type and by the way let me take over" she said pushing him back a bit to sit in front of him as her long hair rested on his shoulders for the moment. "Your flying like a manic dear Hades" she teased looking to him with her eyes instead of her mask as she chuckled as Gem flew under before turning around to look at Hydredigon from the bottom. "Flygon!("Have fun there Hydreigon, carrying them I mean") Gem teased flying upside down.

Maskerin thought for the moment before smiling gently. "I can brinf my homemade tea and you can bring anything you like just don't overdue it ok" she told him as Missy agreed. "Don't forget the Manassas for all of us"Missy said. "Oh yes that too hehe" she added.

@DevVoid @Willow Tree @ThatJustin’sASpy!

 

[Willow Tree]

Milo chuckled, petting Little Junior's head as he listened to Maskerin's ideas. "Sounds lovely, I'm sure I won't forget your share Missy." he teased, "I have always loved your tea Maskerin, truly, you must tell people about your recipe, it has just such a legendary taste." He complimented, making a chef kissing fingers across his mouth in a joking manner. "Talking about tea, perhaps I should bring a few biscuits along, I believe they just go so well with tea," he quietly snickered to himself, "maybe even bring some tea cakes hmmm?" He hummed, obviously ready for the task before him. "But Little Junior here doesn't drink those, so I'll bring some milk," he said, then cast a mischievous glance at Maskerin, "we could even make milk tea." He joked, "That is, if the tea is suited for it at all." He laughed. "Alright, I'll go pack some things for my side, you guys can do whatever you guys need to do," he said, waving the garbage bag absent mindily, "If you need anything, I'll be right here dear." He told her.

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

Maskerin blushed shyly but gave a shy smile. "Thanks for the compliment Milo, that was sweet of you...well..its a secret recipe of mine that only Mask and I know so I can't really give it out....but yes my tea works well with milk for your cute Mime Jr." She smiled sweetly before hugging him from behind. "You tease...hehe" she added as Missy floated over circling around them both. "Aw Maskerin has a crush" Missy teased. "M-Missy! N-No I don't! We're just friends!" She said breaking the hug as she looked away shyly. "S-Stop teasing Missy!" She added looking to her. Missy laughed seeing her reaction. "Sorry couldn't help myself" Missy said.

She smiled gently. "Please Shi is fine to call me, Mask calls me that most of the time even if he barely speaks most of the time but nice to meet you all" Shi said bowing in a polite manner as she placed the bags of Masalada on the counter. "So your Buddy, quite a well built Samurott I must say and probably a bit too much to handle sometimes, isn't that right Vixen since your a Delphox...just a guess I presume" Shi chuckled before floating back next to Edge.

@Willow Tree @ThatJustin’sASpy!

 

[Willow Tree]

Milo chuckled, amused with Maskerin's shy personality, enjoying the way she reacts to teases. "Silly girl," he laughed, shaking his head in an lighthearted manner, "I was born a tease, my parents couldn't stand me!" He chortle. Flinching in slight surprise at the hug, Milo sighed a little and slowly ease into it, he was used to the hugs, but never used to the timing on when it might come. So every time she decided it's time to hug him, he was never prepared. He handed the other garbage bag to Little Junior, who gladly took it to proceed with his fun, and was about to tease Maskerin about when she was going to let go, Missy's comment caught him off guard and he choked on his own words and coughed. "Ah- pft, Missy!" He exclaimed, bending down to relief his wind pipe at the same time when Maskerin let go, giving him the perfect space to suddenly bend over, "We're not- she's not- I'm not-" he his words tripped over his tongue, not allowing themselves to actually express themselves, which left Milo speechless and he could only gape at Missy for the time being while his tongue is finally once again in sync with his brain. "Missy- dear- Maskerin and I are just friends." He stressed the word, as it was the third time of the day someone suspected him and Maskerin to be together or in love. First Justin, then the grandma he performed for, and now Missy, Maskerin's own pokemon! "You, as Maskerin's friend, should know that," he sighed, though he doesn't sound mad, or frustrated, he does sound a bit embarrassed, "Not to mention, she deserve a boy far better than what I can ever offer to her, someone who can treat her like how Hades can treat JC, I'm not the guy, sorry, wrong person." He placed one of his hands up in a mock surrendering pose, and he giggled. "In all seriousness though, I'll love to come to your future wedding Maskerin," he told her, "would love to see the man who was able to win your heart, I've heard many gossips from men trying to win your hand in marriage, none of them succeeded, they told me you were playing hard to get." He smiled at her, "Whoever actually got you to agree to marry them, I'll be impressed." He shrugged absently and turned back around, "Alright, for real now, go to work, or else the manager will get us." He warned.

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

She blushed shyly to the words Milo said before sighing. "I don't think...that would be possible...those guys...all they see is my cute beauty but not who I really am...if I didn't go into the path of performing...then I wouldn't be as good as I am today...I don't think I can go further into a relationship with...that far...besides...Mask is a bit on the protective side with me because of last time...my heart was seriously broken..." she remained quiet for the moment as her bangs covered her eyes before turning to Milo with a sweet smile. "But...anyway your right Milo, I'll see you after we finish our work shift," she said running back inside before he could say anything. Missy turned to Milo to finish for her. "It's true what Maskerin says...her heart was seriously broken by a guy she dated back in middle school before the epidemic happened....I was still a Misdreavus at the time...still performers in training...she was crying for 3 whole days and Mask was the only one there to comfort her since they both lost their parents at a very young age...so she only relied on Mask...her hold life...that's why....she is so hard to get because she is afraid of that happening to her again...she's a sweet girl but her heart is conflicted..." Missy finished as she floated in front of Milo.

@Willow Tree

 

[Willow Tree]

Milo blinked at Maskerin, at shock and failed to wrap his mind around what she had just said to him. Gaping at his friend, he covered his mouth in surprise. He knew he probably messed up, bringing a topic that brought back old memories that weren't the most pleasant for the girl, Milo wanted to hit himself for talking about it at all. He tried to apologize to the woman, but apparently she brushed it off and just smiled at him, running off before a word could even leave his mouth. Staring after the performer, Milo was at loss for words and almost failed to hear what Missy had to say. "Oh dear...I'm so sorry, I didn't know about that...ah, but I should've, such a beautiful girl couldn't be left unscathed by society's standards out there..." Milo sighed and shook his head, placing Little Junior down at a counter, "She's a sweet girl but a bit too sweet, she needs to tell me about her own problems sometimes, or else I'll never know and misspoke just like earlier." He pointed out, "then again, such a sweet girl would never want to burden others with her own problems, I'll talk to her later about that perhaps, maybe it'll get her to open up a bit." He chuckled dryly, "Can't really call her my best friend if I know nothing about her from before the virus spread, would be a shame." He shrugged, "Well, I'll see you later Missy." He waved at the pokemon, then walked on to his own task in silence, his pokemons awkwardly treading after him carefully.

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

Missy flew over to Milo gently patting her shoulder. "You are her best friend Milo since you have been there for her if you want a chance to speak to her like friends do I can help you with that...if you want...she may hesitate at first...but once she is comfortable she will speak...don't blame yourself for this alright...yes she is a very sweet...I mean too sweet but she would want you to keep a smile and not to worry about her too much since she doesn't want to put any stress on anybody...and like you said with her problems...now cheer up ok" Missy said giving a smile before floating back into the kitchen with Maskerin.

@Willow Tree

 

[DevVoid]

Hades sighed. " Ok, first of all; " He pat Hydreigon's back, who promptly flew up and down in a loop, making him, JC and Blue fall. Hades fell back to the front seat, and JC and Blue behind him. " This is my pokemon, so I think I should know how to ride it. I don't randomly steal Delta from you either mid-flight, now do I? Second of; boy do I have a suprise for you when we get to swimming later on. Because I do actually have a water pokemon. And thirdly... didn't we already have this topic earlier?" He said, confused. " I think we did, but regardless, if we didn't meet.. Yeah, I'd probably be the same mad dog I was before. And you would probably end up as either a citizen after some time or as a rebel in regards to the Order of the Dokuro. Probably the former since past you will sooner or later have recognized that it is safer in the city than out there where ambushes are easier done than said. " He answered her question, then scooted forward a bit. " If you don't want to fly with me, feel free to jump on Gem's back. But please, do not attempt to steal my pokemon from me. Neither me or they will approve of that. " He finished, sighing after.

She sighed. "You know I was just kidding right? Take a joke will you and you should know better then to think I would steal your Pokemon from you Hades...I'm not that type of person to do so unlike Fernanade that I have to deal with for the rest of my life" she said looking to him. "Come on we have been together for 3 years and you should know that by now or have you forgotten. By the way...what surprise do you actually have for me?" She asked a bit mad as Blue had the same reaction. Gem flew up next to Hydredigon just in case JC wanted to get on her back. "I hope your not doubting Hades...because...that seems hurtful..." She sighed patting his shoulder as she got on Gem's back. "If you want to go swimming now we can...but if you don't want to that's fine..." She said avoiding eye contact as she removed her plaid shirt to only reveal a tank top and then her flats. She left it with Gem as she waited until they were above water before leaping off her down into the water. She pulled out Delta's Luxury ball as she came out hitting the water with her. Blue joined in as she leaped off Hydredigon and fell into the water as well. Gem lowered herself close to the water seeing them swim.

She grabbed onto Delta as she gave her a bubble to breath in. Something was bothering her yes but avoided the feeling completely. She swam with Delta and Blue to clear her mind as she saw all the different types of Water type Pokemon swimming in the sea. She couldn't get her mind to clear as she was just getting more irritated.-

Watching her leave, Hades was now saddened. He didn't mean to sound mean at all. The stress from managing a whole city was getting to him again, and he needed to find a healthier way to let it go. Infact, the idea of a relaxing swimming round sounded good to him. As Hydreigon lowered to the ground, Hades put down his bag and got changed, exchanging all his plenty layers of clothing, wearing nothing but swimming trunks once Hydreigon reached the ground. As it landed, Hydreigon got out a salve from his dufflebag that he started rubbing all over his body, to soothe his skin and guarantee that it won't start hurting from the water. He put on a pair of sandals he packed in his bags incase he ever needed to go barefoot, since he couldn't really go truly barefoot as debris would get caught in his wounds. He lowered down from Hydreigon's back and put his bag infront of it, leaving Hydreigon to guard it. Then, he grabbed himself one of the pokeballs on the belt inside his bag and walked to the water, entering it. He shivered all over for a second, then got used to the water. He cast out his pokeball, finally revealing his last pokemon; a shiny female sharpedo. The Sharpedo swam up to her trainer and carefully rubbed against him, grateful to finally be released again. He pat the Sharpedo on the head as he went to mount its back. " Sorry, ol' girl. We've been on land so much that I had no chance to let you out. " He told the Sharpedo, then swam up to JC, Blue and Delta. " Well, here's the suprise. This here's my last pokemon that I never had the chance to let out. " He said, introducing the Sharpedo to the group. " Oh, and JC.. sorry if I sounded mean back there. All this stress from tracking down Fernandez, managing a whole city and all is just starting to get to me. I'm not gonna ask you to forgive me, but I am just saying this so you know why I acted the way I did. "

Milo laughed, though it came out more of a sigh than anything else, "JC and Shadow probably would support her better than me, so they could probably understand her troubles, not to mention, they've all seems to suffer a lot whether it was before or after the virus, I on the other hand, lived a happy life, all the people I lost to the virus, they beat me ten times more. They outrun me when it comes to a sad past." He explained, taking out a spare box, placing some tea cakes into it, "Now they're all some kind of big shots out there, ones a scientist, ones an assassin, one is ruling a city!" He slam the box close in an almost bitter mood, "Even if I get Maskerin to open up, there's nothing I can do afterwards, I can't relate to what she'll say." He pointed out, tying the box tightly, "But thanks for the offer Missy," he added, giving the pokemon an empty smile, and didn't say anything more when the pokemon flew away. "C'mon guys, get the biscuits." He ordered, pointing at a bag of some newly baked biscuits, which Milo prepared earlier this morning for the customers, but no one wanted it so he'll take some. Manager won't know so he's not worried. Little Junior bleeped happily, dancing over towards the bag, balancing it on his head as he carried it over for his trainer. Phoenix took the box, putting it on the table and patted Milo on the back soothingly.

She looked to Hades and sighed. "I understand with the whole Fernanade business is causing you stress but its not right to let your meanness on me because of it. You know I am here to calm you down with your stress you....back in my teenage years as was always judged because I wore a wolf mask and hooded cape to hide myself...people always thought I was a person of bad deed which clearly I wasn't. I was the person that helped others whether they are in danger or not...I hate being judged just because of my appearance...so I hand to prove myself that I wasn't on the bad side...all I am saying is just be careful and think...before you say your words ok..." She said reached out to touch his face. "Shadow was no different as he had the same reason as I did so...that's why I could only rely on him and nobody else...which closed my feelings completely...and don't forget...your Pokemon are here as well to support you and comfort you when you are stressed and I am pretty sure this sweet girl here agrees with me" she said placing a hand on his Sharpedo gently petting her. "Isn't that right sweetheart" she said looking to her.

Blue leaped on Hades shoulders giving a smile. "Yes Blue too, you can ask her anything if you feel troubled, she has grown rather attached to you these past 3 years" she chuckled as Blue smiled. "Umbre!" Blue said agreeing. Delta greeted the Sharpedo as she patted her head. "I admit I was a bit mad but I'm fine alright...so apology accepted ok..."she said.

Ninji flew over to Milo. "Hey hey Milo, you can do anything for Maskerin if you have confidence in it ok...only Mask knows more of Maskerin's story but he barely talks so you might be out of luck unless my charm works perfectly again hehe but come on....do you know the reason why she stays close to you all the time?" Ninji asked him as her beat fast wings kept her airborne.

Shi looked as Edge and the others went off to clean. "Um...should I help....it seems like a lot to do for just us..." She said looking to Justin. "I am rather good at cleaning" she added offering.

[Willow Tree]

Milo jumped a bit, surprised when Ninji suddenly came out from nowhere, at least, he didn't realize the pokemon was next to him at all until she talked. "Oh Ninji, fancy seeing you down here." Milo greeted, "This is usually the employee part of the bakery, but you're special service so I shouldn't be surprised." He sighed, "And yeah, you're right, Mask is probably the only one who can tell me anything at all if Maskerin wouldn't." He agreed. But when Ninji continue on with the last phrase, Milo was a bit confused, "What do you mean...?" He asked, clutching the Ninjask necklace in a worried manner, "Maskerin stayed close to me because I'm her friend right?" He questioned, puzzled about why Ninji is asking this at all. Did he do something wrong again? Maskerin is friends with other boys, what makes him any different? Sure, she's uncomfortable in crowds of men but she must have hanged out with boys and girls alike outside of work. He have never seen her outside of work, so he could never say anything about that. "Is there a particular reason on why she stayed close with me all the time?" Milo released the necklace and leaned back a bit onto the table; there were too much happening in one day. Right now, his thoughts are in shambles, they couldn't register everything at once. What does Ninji mean? Why does Maskerin stayed close to him? Is Maskerin using him for some purpose? What is happening? Should he be worried? What did he do this time? Does Maskerin have something she isn't telling him? He couldn't think straight and for a second, he felt like he couldn't breath and Phoenix had to grab him by the shoulder to calm him down. Milo sucked in a deep breath and bit his lower lip, he just wanted a normal day, all this is too much.

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

Ninji sighed. "Its because you are the only friend she has Milo, she doesn't have any other friends but you and no matter how much she tries others but her down quickly without them even give her a chance to know them that's why she stays close to you as much as possible....don't worry she doesn't have a crush on you....she will probably avoid a feeling like that for a long while or maybe for a long time....but of course she has Shadow and JC as her friends that are very close to her but still she considers you as her best friend" Ninji said patting Milo.

Shi looked to Edge as she floated in midair. "I don't mind you calling me Shi instead of Shield Edge if that makes you comfortable. Mostly the whole team of Mask calls me that...and well it was rather sudden to be honest but I wasn't afraid since Mask wasn't either but its been very stressful...even for a well mannered lady like myself....but I was able to handle it pretty well even if it was scary at times...too much zombie blood being spread was a bit too much for me but I got use to it after a while" she said to Edge as she picked up on dirty plates and put it in the sink before she grabbed a vase and put it on the table as she placed as white flower that she had on her as she placed it inside but another one had flew in an attached to her without her noticing.

Milo chuckled nervously, though he was mostly trying to comfort himself, he doesn't get the situation. Maskerin is a fairly social girl, there's no way he's her only friend that she could hang out with. Sure, JC and Shadow are busy, but you couldn't be telling him that for the past three years she's been alone all this time with no one but him?! "But...but I don't know her all that well either..." he whispered, "We've met only a year back, when she first applied for a job here, didn't know it meant so much to her to have a friend that didn't dump her on the spot." He sighed, ruffling his hair, "I don't know what to say...." he murmured, "She's a fragile girl isn't she...."

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

Ninji nodded. "Yes she is Milo like a glass bottle, just one slip and the glass shatters until pain hits her deeply. Maskerin is a very shy girl not a social one. She will only become social once she gets to know the person better and give that gentle smile she has. Yes, its true that you don't know her that well but that's why friends talk to one another to get to know each other and its true that she doesn't have any other friends besides you Milo, you can even ask her yourself and even Mask can tell you just about anything and of course her Pokemon are her friends as well" she said as she felt Mask approach seeing him gently pat Mill's shoulder probably from the talk about his sister. She was actually a bit surprised that he spoke to Milo with his voice that he had not used in a very long time. "You want...to know more...about Maskerin Milo..." He asked him as his voice was masculine but had a gentle tone to it. "Mask...you haven't spoken with your voice in a very long time...its a surprise really....why now..." Ninji asked him as she saw him look to her before back at Milo.

Milo ruffles his hair frustratingly, annoyed which the situation set in front of him, messing up the smooth natural curls his hair stubbornly held. "Oh god...this is all so complicated..." he whispered, "At this point, I'll never figure that girl out." He mused. Laughing dryly, Milo merely nodded at Ninji to acknowledge her words, but then he felt a human hand pet his shoulder and he jumped, whipping his head around to face the one responsible. Seeing Mask, Milo was surprised that he was down here; and talking, but he didn't question him any further and instead, tried to make out his words. When he finally pieced it all together, his gloomy mood faded and his eyes sparkled at the opportunity. "Can I?" He asked, looking back and forth from Ninji to Mask and to Ninji again, "Will you? Can you? You'll tell me about her?" He asked, "Well, I mean, of course I'll like to get to know her more, I can never say no to this," he said, "but the question is, are you okay with telling me about it? Pft, I probably look like some kind of creep, asking so much about a girl, but hey, I'm desperate!" He threw his hands up in mock surrendering, "If I never knew anything about her, I might misspoke and hurt her again, I don't want that." He looked at Mask, "So yes, I'll like to know everything you've got to tell me." He smirked, "I'm mentally prepare for any sad past she'll have, I won't break down, no worries." He laughed, "But...now is not the time, " he gazed at the clock, "I've spent too much time talking, manager is definitely going to question where I am." He huffed, "They would be at everybody's neck, question where they went when they're only gone for 2 minutes!" He pouted, "Welp, before that happens, I'll be going upstairs, you guys should too, this place is not for customers." He pointed out, "And I believe upstairs where all the windows are will be much more pleasant than down here." He shivered, "Let's go now." He finished, picking up Little Junior and the box full of treats he packed for the hangout, Milo beckons towards the duo before walking up the staircase himself.

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

Mask looked to Milo in confusion before glancing to Ninji. He was surprised that someone seemed this interested in his sister. He remained quiet again before following Milo up the staircase. Once he was able to reach Milo again he grabbed his shoulder patting it. "I can tell you....a few things...about Maskerin...so if your....that interested...I'll tell you...and...don't get use to me speaking....with my...voice....this may be the first....and...last time...I will use it...before....Ninji take over..." He reminded him. "Your shifts....should be...done in a few...minutes...so I can tell...you in...a private...area..just remain calm...and control...your excitement..." He finished as he gave a small smile under his Mask before letting go of his shoulder.

@Willow Tree

 

[Willow Tree]

Milo laughed, swaying a bit from side to side happily, "No worries, I can deal with Ninji's translation, used to them long time ago." He laughed, "I'll remain very calm, no problem." He waved his hand over his face, changing from a smile to a grim face, "See, easy." He joked. Checking the clock, he nodded to Mask's words, "You're right, my shift here is almost done, and so should Maskerin's and Luna's." He commented, peeping through rooms, "Luna! Maskerin! Our shift is almost over! Pack up the stuff so we could leave!" He called. The snap of the manager telling him to shut up came as quick as a whip and Milo flinched at the words. "Sorry sorry!" He apologized, "Won't happen again." He promised, quickly walking away from the strict person, "Dang, people can't even call for others in this place." He muttered, placing the box on a nearby table, "Maskerin! Luna!" He called, but this time, much quieter, "It's almost time to go."

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

Shi sighed. "Alright fine you can call me Shield if your that formal, either one is fine but yes Mask's job is more of a personal guard job to keep JC safe from someone she knows and hates for that at least that's what JC told me but either way Mask feels more close to JC then anybody else except his sister maybe but still." She said before placing a third flower in the vase that was attached to her. "Hey Buddy, don't feel so down ok so cheer up" Shi said patting the Samurott's head gently. "Your a nice Samurott at heart ok honest and well Mask's sister Maskerin may have someone you might take interest in...not that I will tell you right away unless those feelings you have are just that strong for Vixen" she said whispering the last part before floating away from him. She grabbed the Masalada's and put them on the table where the vase was placed. "Hey Edge...I have a question? You think you can hear me out?" She asked him.

Maskerin heard Milo call her name before she ran out. "Alright Milo, I'm coming just hold your patiences" she said before running into the bathroom to change clothing.

(Btw I changed one of Maskerin's team members so she has a Serperior now instead of a Spritzee)

" I know, I know.. I shouldn't take out my anger on you or anyone else. I'm sorry for doing so... " Hades said, sighing after. " And.. thanks. I.. really do appreciate your support regardless of what I.. tend to do sometimes. Thanks, JC. " He responded, then gave JC a hug. Then, as he let go, he hopped off the Sharpedo and into the water. " Say, why don't we have some fun now? It is one of the few times we are given the chance, so I think we should take this opportunity while we can. "

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

She accepted the hug before speaking again. "Hey its alright Hades, I am an understanding person so don't worry about it however" she punched his arm but not hard in an almost gentle way. "That's for using your anger on me for no reason" she said before giving a gentle smile. She kissed him to help him feel a bit better before she back away. She got on Delta before looking back to him. "What type of fun Hm? Do you mean this?" She said splashing him with the water as she laughed before telling Delta to go. "Catch us if you can Hades, I love to see you try" she teased going under water with Delta as she placed a bubble around her head to help her breathe. Luckily Blue grabbed her shoulder before going under as Delta offered an air bubble for her to breathe.

Shi looked to Edge before she floated over to the sick again with a pail and filled it with water. She floated back over to the vase as she poured the water in slowly. "Have you ever been scared when you had to deal with the zombies?" She said placing the pail down waiting for Edge to respond.

Mask looked to Milo. "I can...tell you just a bit....about her before she...comes out from the dressing room...if you want..." He said as Yami his partner a shiny female Yamask floated beside him listening in.

[DevVoid]

Hades chuckled, shielding his face from the water with his elbow. He laughed as Sharpedo jumped up into the air before diving into the water. The Sharpedo chased after Delta, just boosting toward the three like a torpedo. It sped past them, but not before Hades snatched the extra bubble from Delta since Blue didn't need one as she was sharing one with JC. He put it on his head, and stuck out his tongue, shooting off deeper into the water with his Sharpedo. He waved after JC, teasing her to catch up with him.

 

[Willow Tree]

Milo smiled at Maskerin's reply, she sounded normal now, more like herself. He hoped she made up with Luna, that girl haven't replied to him yet so he was worried on that fact. But he couldn't just bust in on the girls while they're changing now can he? But it's only because they're changing that it was the perfect moment for Mask to say something, so Milo nodded to his offer. "Why of course, I want to know as much as I could." He agreed, starting to undress the bakery uniform himself. His magician uniform is already underneath, so he need not worry about making Mask uncomfortable, not to mention, his uniform is different from the girls, it could be wore on top of other clothings without it being too obvious, the manager is just unfair to the girls is all, giving them tighter uniform that made them uncomfortable to be wore with clothes underneath. "Give me your best shot." He gave Mask a cheeky smile, trying to make his bow tie a bit more loose as he did.

 

[EeveeBlueSisters]

Shi looked to Edge before back at the vase. "I'm not saying I'm scared or anything since I have dealt with it many times but for a very long time Pokemon are not affected by the virus...Idk but maybe we are immune to it...the only thing I fear is Mask turning....since he is human..." She answered before looking at the clock. "Their shift should be over so they should be changing to head up here" she added before floating next to Edge placing her scarf hands behind her as her shield was in the front.

Mask looked to Milo before speaking. "You can start....with questions....about her...if you have...any in mind...which I assume you do...." He asked him leaning against the wall as Ninji flew over just next to him.

She chuckled as she grabbed another bubble from Delta to place it on Blue. They both held onto Delta before she smirked catching up quickly speeding past him. "Your behind now"she called chuckling before signaling Delta to do her trick. She nodded before Blue swam over to Hades getting on the Sharpedo as she shook her pelt. "Watch this trick she and Delta learned a long time ago" Blue said through the speech collar.

Delta went under water with JC getting to a level where she could leap out. She held on tight before Delta swam back up in a quick speed before fully leaping out of the water. She let go of Delta as she used her feet to push herself up in the air as she did a bit of a flip until her body was in a curve position as Delta circled her body around her before using a Hydro pump to give a watery finish. They both hit the water afterward with a medium splash as Blue smiled. "Cool right!" Blue told Hades. JC and Delta were still under water before she thought of something as she smirked. "Hades? Your next!" She said tackling him off Sharpedo as she chuckled. "You can swim can't you or was that just a lie" she teased. "If you can then try and catch me if you can, I trained in water like this" she said as she swam away from him as Delta swam beside her just in case as Blue was on top of her.

[Willow Tree]

Milo tapped his chin thoughtfully, trying to neatly fold his uniform together. "Well...it's not that I don't have any questions, but there's so much that I don't know where to start." He chuckled, "She's full of mysteries, that girl, I want to solve them all, but I don't even know what to say when the answer key is standing right in front of me right now." He giggled, "Right now, I think I'll start with her past, she doesn't seem to like boys that much, what was it that made her that way?" He asked, "I think she mentioned something about her boyfriend, but no further than that, why don't you finish it off for her." He beckon for Mask to start talking, "If you don't know everything, its alright, tell me what you know." He assured him.
