Hi-Ho, away we go!

[red]

Kaki and Hone walked down the road, a smile on the redhead's face, although nothing of the same sort from the Cubone. He looked at Kaki every once and again, although he didn't seem to care about her much he seemed curious. For one, why had she named him 'Hone?' The Japanese word for bone? Why was she so excited? Why was she wearing those goggles?

Hone sure as heck didn't know.

"Hone-san," Kaki started, pointing up at the clouded sky, "That one looks like a fish."

[Kimo]

A curious noise came from a curious Flaafy as Kaki pointed to the cloud, staring along with her and noticing how much it did look like a Magikarp. After she finished observing all the edges and lines of the cloud’s shape, the pink fluffy creature balanced on her feet and spun in a jubilant circle, calling out her own name in a singing voice.

<Flaf, flaf flaf eeee!> After her little dance ended, she went back to gazing at the clouds and looked to see if there could be a cloud shaped like a Flaafy. Wouldn’t that just make her day?

<Huh? Why do I have a sense I know where this is going?> Hone said in a moaning voice that would only come out as, "Cuboooone..."

Kaki looked at the Flaffy, watching the pink sheep dance around on her toes. It was adorable, there was no denying that. She had already learned through checking with her pokedex that Hone could only withstand any electric shocks and lower the defense and offense of any opponents, and that was the challenge of raising a cubone.

"That one looks like a geodude," Kaki pointed out, looking up at the sky still.

<Maybe I DON'T know where this is going...>

[Kimo]

Staring back up into the sky with a smile, she shrugged at Hone's words and gasped with excitement as a new cloud floated into her range of sight. <Oh! That looks like a Mareep! Just like Jill.>

Without her noticing, a Mareep happened to stroll up next to her at that time and follow her gaze into the sky.
<Oh, you're right. That does sorta look like me.> The two stayed silent, amused by the cloud sightings. While they were there, they pointed out with many gasps a Rayquaza, a Wailord, a Mightyena and a Skitty.

<Must be some sort of girl thing...> Hone thought aloud to himself as he started to look around again. He looked at something off the trail: Some sort of rock. He walked up to it, bone in hand, and tapped on the rock with his bone. He took a step closer, sitting down in front of the rock and staring at it, examining it.


Kaki seemed to pay no mind to Hone, not at the moment, just lost looking at the clouds. After only a few more seconds, she sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at the sky once again. It was interesting, there were these two wild pokemon here, and yet, none of them were likely to end up in a battle. Not at this rate. Kaki looked up at the sky, spotting what looked like the head of a cubone.

"Hone-san, look at that-" She looked to her side, only to find that Hone was more interested in that rock than he was in her. She frowned. "Hone-san, what's up?"

[Kimo]

A drab looking Ekans slithered out from underneath the stone and faced Hone with an uninterested tone: <Hey, just so you know.. People live under here. Not busting your chops or anything.. But still.>

All of sudden, though, the snake fled back into his dark domain. A loud chattering had disturbed him. <A cuh cuh cuh cuh cuh!> It sounded like someone was shooing people off, and by the looks of the frantic Ampharos, it seemed so. She had started by stamping her feet near the Ekans; now she waved her paws at Hone, trying to move him out of his spot.
The Mareep had heard her familar call and looked down, while the Flaaffy stayed distant in Lalaland. <Hey, Jay..> muttered the electric sheep, shoving her friend to make her look. <It's Josefina. We should do something, shouldn't we?>

Jay sighed and stood up. <Yeah, I got it.> The Flaaffy coughed and rolled out the best accent she could sum up.
<Hola Josefina! Espero que no te importa, pero ¿podría por favor, no grites estas personas .. Ellos no están causando ningún problema. Son agradables, Josefina.>

The Ampharos snorted and spoke fast like her chattering had shown. <No! Usted dice que todo el tiempo. Estoy harto de esta mierda! N Jay, no estoy dejando que esto va! Lárguese!>

<Josefina, Josefina! ¡Cálmate!> The two Pokemon had rushed over, trying to calm the heated Ampharos. They looked like they needed help as the yellow creature tried to push them away.

Kaki ssaw the ekans, and saw the Ampharos pull Hone away from the rock. "Thanks," She said as she went and scooped up her cubone. When she looked at the Flaffy and the Mareep again, they looked like they were discussing something. Not that Kaki knew what it was.

"Hone-san, please be more careful, ok?" She said as she held Hone, finally setting him back on the ground.

Wow. An ampharos, a Flaffy AND a Mareep... Dang...

<A spanish speaking Ampharos? That's a new one...> Hone thought aloud to himself once again, folding his hands behind his back.

[Kimo]

(( Just so you know, Kaki can hear them speaking Spanish. She can at least hear their names, Jill, Jay and Josefina. But.. I wouldn’t think she knows what they’re saying.. xD I wouldn’t know either, I just used a translator. ))

Josefina finally sent them away with a quick shock, and while they were all Electric-type, they were scared nonetheless. They hadn’t expected their friend to be so violent today.
<Josefina!> the Flaaffy cried out. <¿Cómo pudiste? ¿Por qué no puedes escuchar a nosotros y calmarse?>
<Por favor, Josie..> pleaded Jill. Both sheep stared with desperate expressions, their eyes both the same shade of purple. The Ampharos shared them too, the soft lilac gaze.. Excluding the softness.
The bulb on Josefina’s tail lit up with a fiery passion, and the air began to get very dry, the way it does before a storm. < Ya se lo dije. No. Yo tenía que ver la madre y el padre mueren, no a usted. Esta fue la forma en que pasó .. Al ser amigo de un ser humano. ¿Crees que me quieren ver como la misma cosa sucede a usted? Nunca! Así que me voy a llevar a cabo, y que pequeño monstruo de la suya también!>
As Josefina finished her sentence, she sent a weak bolt of electricity out from her tail bulb, the move ThunderWave which was used to paralyze her opponent. She had sent it towards the Cubone, staring him down as she did so. There was pain in her eyes, but she fought on anyway.

Jill and Jay watched helplessly as their oldest sister started to battle Hone. <Oh no, Mr. Cubone! We’re so sorry. We can only talk to her in Spanish.. And she isn’t backing down, no siree. You’re going to have to help, oh I’m so sorry!> Jill had to nuzzle her head into Jay’s fluffy fur to help her calm down.

(( Just to, um, clue you on what they’ve been saying.. The first post Jay was trying to get her to calm down and convince that Kaki and the Cubone weren’t violent. Josie said no, this has happened before. This post, they’re questioning her to why she won’t listen, and she says that mother and father died when they talked to a human, and she won’t let it happen to Jill and Jay and that she’s going to take out Kaki, and ‘that little monster’.
So yeah. Battle tiem. ))

(GASPEH! Okeyz =3 Poor Kaki. She's going to have to learn spanish after this one~ XD)

Kaki watched curiously as the sheep seemed to bicker in spansih, completely unable to understand anything besides the word, "No." It took her until the Ampharos actually shocked the other two electric sheep for her to figure out that the Ampharos was mad about something. "Hey, hey, no need to be violent!"

That was when the shock was sent to Hone. The little ground type pokemon took the shock through his bone, completely unaffected. Nonetheless, he was angry. <What the heck was that for!?>

The words of the other two sheep made Hone nod his head, and turn to Kaki with a look in his eye, trying to get her to understand. <Alright, tell me what to do Kaki. Or you two for that matter.>

Kaki glanced around, not knowing what would happen, but when she saw that Hone seemed ready for a fight was her clue. "Ok Hone-san, use a growl then."

<Right.> Hone did as instructed, letting out the Growl attack in an attempt to lower the Ampharos's attack.

[Kimo]

The Ampharos frothed angrily at the Cubone, not scared by his growling but staying somewhat cautious of him.. She didn’t know what kind of strength he might have. In response to his attack, Josefina sent a Growl as well his way.

[red]

Am I going to have to catch a pokemon when all I have is a cubone that knows Growl and Tail Whip?

Hone's attack was lowered, although he knew it didn't matter. He didn't know a single attack. All he knew were Growl and Tail Whip, and for a little bit it would stay that way.

"Hone, tail whip," Kaki called, unsure of how exactly to go about this fight.

<Ok...> Cubone used a tail whip, though he was deeply confussed. How vexing should one battle be?

[Kimo]

The Ampharos slitted her eyes as Hone continued to lower her stats. She knew what he was doing, she wasn’t fooled so easily! Once she was all watered down and her stats crummier than his, she wouldn’t stand a chance against his attacks! Well, she would simply have to use fire against fire!

<Nincompoop,> she said clearly, the only word she knew that wasn’t Spanish. Firing up her lungs, she let out a long, menacing Growl at the Cubone.

[red]

<Nincompoop!? For what?! Grr... I don't know any attacks! Hey! Are you listening to me? Parle vous anglais? Parle vous francais?> Hone began to babble on in the only few things he knew how to say in different languages, asking what languages someone could speak in french.

"Hone-san, Another growl."

<Right, right, hang on...> Hone held out his bone, pointing it at the Ampharos, and letting out a low growl.

[Kimo]

Josefina shook her head angrily. <Yo no sé francés! Cállate!> Snorting like usual, she taunted (uselessly) at Hone. <Ahora, el ataque tonto!>

Jill and Jay sat, befuddled at the words passing between the two pokemon. The Mareep looked over to her sister, and Jay turned as well, apparently with the same thing on their minds.
<The Cubone says he doesn’t know any attacks..>
<..And Josie is expecting him to hit! Oh my, this could be forever..>
Jay shook her head disapprovingly. Her and Jill didn’t like fighting one bit.. If she could she would stop the battle, but knowing Josefina, nothing would stop her ambitions. So, even though she wanted to help the travelers, there was nothing she could do but translate Hone’s words into Josie’s language.
<Josefina.> The Ampharos nodded her head, but refused to look at the sisters that wouldn’t back her judgement. <El Cubone no conoce ningún movimiento. Siga adelante y luchar!>
Josie suddenly cocked her head towards the Flaaffy with a mixed look of gratitude leftover bitterness. She nodded her head again, approving Jay’s advice. Rushing forward, the Ampharos screamed a loud battling call and attempted to Tackle Hone.

(( "I don't know French, shut up!" xD
"Now attack, you fool!"
"The Cubone doesn't know any moves. Go ahead and fight!" ))

[red]

"Hone-san, dodge it!" Kaki called, seeing the Ampharos coming in for a tackle. This Ampharos was so violent... Why, WHY did it speak spanish? Why couldn't it understand Hone?

<YEESH! No kidding!?> Hone dodged the attack, stepping to the side and using his bone for balance.

"Ok, now use another growl."

<This is gonna take years if this keeps up... Hey, you two, how do you say I don't want to fight in spanish?> Hone called before letting out another low growl.
