(( To answer your question, Kaki, there is no reason )) Josefina charged past Hone on that last attack, and when she turned around she looked the angriest she could get, her face twisted by it. He sped up again with another Tackle, hoping this time she was luckier. Jay and Jill watched helplessly as the battle roved on. <Oh, this is just bad, just bad.. I like the Cubone!> Jill sniffled and nodded at her older sister’s words. Her head perked up as Hone yelled to them, and for a second her eyes lit up in hope. <Oh! It’s.. It’s..> Being rushed to translated, she began to falter, but her sister backed her up. < Yo no quiero pelear!> The Ampharos had not heard them, too focused on bringing the Cubone down. [/center]

<WAAAH!> Hone took the hit, getting knocked over by the enraged Ampharos. Why, oh why, did he have to know a grand total of zero attacks? That's when he heard the Mareep call to them. He nodded thankfully, rolling out and away from the Ampharos, laying his bone on the ground at his feet. <Yo no quiero pelear.>
"Dang, I knew I should have taken spanish..." Kaki said to herself, looking at her Cubone curiously. "Ah, please let that Ampharos calm down..."

The Ampharos watched as the Cubone laid his bone down, still on her guard but curious of his actions. When he uttered those words in Spanish.. Josefina’s lilac eyes widened in surprise. Staring at him for a moment, she whispered, <¿Hablas español?>, expecting him to know what she was saying.
Jay and Jill almost burst in happiness, seeing their sister back down for probably the first time in recent memory. Jay was shaking her arms about while the Mareep hopped about. Jill opened her mouth to tell Hone to say yes in Spanish, but Jay quickly flung her paw over her mouth. <No, Jill!> the Flaaffy hissed quietly. <Josefina doesn’t know he can’t really speak the language!> Jill opened her eyes wide, realizing how horrendous things would’ve been if she’d spoke the word, and then nodded her head in understanding.
Hoping the Cubone could read lips, the sisters began to mouth the word Si to him. [/center]

Kaki watched with a curiosity in her eyes, but she trusted her pokemon, and the other two as well. It seemed as though the three were working as a group, and that was enough for Kaki to just stand down and watch.
<Si.> Hone said, not sure what she would do next. He was fairly sure she said something about having spanish. Stupid latin based languages.

Josefina tilted her head curiously, looking at her sisters and back to the Cubone. She seemed to be debating with herself on whether to trust them or not, her doubt as strong as her trust. The creatures were cultured, knowing two languages- and Jay and Jill were right, they didn’t seem too violent. But at any moment, they could snatch one of them up and take them away forever. The Cubone probably was forced to come along with the human!
Her face turned sad as she fought on with her self. She loosened her taut muscles and looked sincerely at Hone. < El ser humano.> she said, pointing to Kaki with a stubby yellow paw. <¿Habla español?>
Once again, the sheep bounced up and down mouthing Si. [/center]

Hone even mouthed the word, "Si," to Kaki when the question was asked. He leaned to the side somewhat, just enough for him to become visible. The only problem with this action was the fact that no one could see past his skull helmet. Whoops.
But, Kaki seemed to understand. "Si."

Josie noticed the shifyness and hesistation from the two, and so she tilted her head and gave them a suspicious look. <Hmm,> she retorted, still looking at them funny.
<Así que si usted sabe tan bien el español .. Entonces, dime, ¿qué color es un Rattata?> This time she watched her sisters carefully, disabling the two from giving Kaki or Hone the answer in Spanish. They sent frantic looks at them, silently hoping something right would happen. [/center]

Kaki took a moment, trying to think back to her days in school before she finally remembered. A good excuse for why she couldn't answer that. She remembered how to say that her spanish speaking skills were very limited. "Mi español no es muy bueno."
<Violeta,> Hone tried, remembering a time when he had bitten into a crayon (foolishly).

(( Wonder where he happened to find a crayon in Spanish. ))
Josefina took a deep breath, giving them a long, undeterminable stare. Jay and Jill looked between each other, shaking their heads in confusion. Was she still mad? Was she calming down? They couldn’t make heads of it. All they could think of doing was waiting to see what came next.
Josiefina sighed and nodded her head.<Sí. Esa es la respuesta. Violeta. Usted sabe, yo todavía no lo creo seguro .. Pero creo que puedo confiar en ti. Jay y Jill Claro que sí.> She looked towards her sister, biting her lip, waiting for them to translate. <She said, humm.. Yes. That was right. She still doesn’t think you speak Spanish very well but she can trust you for now. I think.. I think because we trust you, she will as well.> Jay finished off with a sympathetic look.
Jill’s attention slipped from the conversation as she saw something appear from the corner of her eye. <Violeta..> she murmured to her self as a little Rattata began to clean its face in a nearby patch of grass. [/center]

((They have the color printed in different languages!))
"I'm gonna have to buy a spanish to english handbook after this one..." Kaki murmured to herself.
<So I can cgo back to talking normally for now? Ah geez...> Hone murmured to himself, picking his bone back up and walking back over to Kaki, pointing it at her. <You owe me BIGTIME.>
"I love you too Hone-san," Kaki said, pulling the little pokemon to her in an affectionette embrace, not knowing that he was actually angry with her.

(( Ohyeah. )) Josefina and Jay had gotten close to each other, speaking to each other in hushed voices, but strangely Jill had not joined them. Instead, she seemed too interested in a little Rattata, who finally had noticed that a Mareep was staring right at him. He froze, his body moving only to breath, but then he darted off without a word. Jill frowned as he ran off, but let out a little squeak of happiness as two more Rattatas took its place. <Violeta!> she exclaimed once more, obversing the two pokemon with a grin. [/center]

<Kaki, let go of me.> Hone said in an annoyed tone. He looked at the Rattatas out of the corner of his eye, and he shot them a look of mild annoyance. <What're you lookin' at?>
Kaki finally let go of Hone, and then went to look at the two rattatas. She looked at them for a moment, before stopping to say, "Aww, they're so cute!"

Josefina and Jay continued to ramble on in their language, and by now Jill had completely forgotten about the whole ordeal they had just trudged through. Gazing softly at the creatures in front of her, she observed as the mice sniffed around and explored the grass they wandered, sitting up and sharing glances at each other often for a report of what they had found. So far they found nothing of interest yet, so they continued on, making no notice of the Mareep watching them. [/center]

By this time, Kaki had crept over next to Jill and was happily watching the Rattata along with the tiny sheep pokemon. Her legs were crossed beneath her,her hands kept her ankles close together and she leaned over to stare at the little purple pokemon along with the Mareep.
Hone showed little to no interest, and walked back to the rock to see if the Ekans was still there. He tapped on the rock with his bone once, before sitting down and sighing, <What is it with girls anyhoo?>
What he was actually thinking, was why was Kaki watching those Rattatas and ignoring him? Hadn't he just come through for her? Well, she was a human after all.

The Ekans from before didn’t respond to Hone. Instead, a female Ekans slid out and looked at the Cubone with a unimpressed look. <Hey, you know, girls are equal to guys. There’s nothing different about us that makes us different from you. We’re just.. built differently. Just pointing that out for you. That is all.> She narrowed her eyes and disappeared back from where she came from.
The Rattatas sniffed around, round little noses stuck up in the air, until a flash of yellow appear in both of their visions. A large pokemon was charging right at them! It looked like an angry Beedrill, only more like a sheep. It had glaring red orbs that reminded them of the color of blood. Frightened out of their minds, the mice darted off, one of them so terrified it left with a squeak. The Ampharos chattered a startling noise where they used to be standing, waiting before leaving for any signs of them ever returning.
Jay finally caught up to her side, starting to scold her.older sister on scaring the innocent Rattatas away, and in response Josefina gave the same argument she had used for Kaki and Hone. Jill sighed and rolled her eyes, slumping onto her bottom and shaking her head disapprovingly. <Seems like things are back to normal.. Sometimes I wish I could just escape.> [/center]
