Hone shrugged and walked away from the Ekans, and upon hearing the Mareep's words, he walked up to her and looked at the ground, and at his feet. <Yeah, I know how you feel. Back at the lab I came from, I was stuck in a pokeball like, forever. Then when they let me out to meet trainers, there was always this Giglar, who had anger issues. MAJOR anger issues.>
"Aw, that Ampharos is too violent," Kaki thought to herself. She leaned back, and looking at the sky again, she saw a cloud that reminded her of her lost Sandshrew. She went silent for a moment, and then she hopped to her feet. "Hone-san, I think we should get goin-"
She stopped, seeing that for once Hone was actually talking with another pokemon.

The fluffy sheep smiled at Hone, glad that she had someone to talk to who knew how she felt. She could talk to Jay about it, but there was something that felt good when she was able to connect with Pokemon outside of her family. <Really? Well, it's even worse when it's your own siblings! We don't get to talk much to other creatures, at least when Josie's around.> She sighed, letting her frustration turn into worry. <She never changes, my oldest sister. You saw the way she treated those mice. Right after flaring up at you guys! And I'm so sorry about that, I really am. I- I just feel like I should apoligize.> She looked at him hopefully, but in the back of her mind she knew he was nice enough to understand.
Which let her be social enough to show her feelings of envy. <You're really lucky, you know, about what you say about that Gligar. You got to escape that; and your human friend seems nice enough to treat you to a nice life. My human friend never was carefree and cool.> Jill pouted. [/center]

<It's not your fault,> Hone said to Jill. <You can't control what other's do. And I guess I am lucky that Kaki's fairly nice. I guess that some humans aren't that way. She's a little... Weird though. I was sure she would take that Larvitar. I sorta gave up on being taken after the third time I saw a trainer. I thought I'd be stuck in that pokeball forever. And... I guess even though I can't say I completely know how you feel, but it could be worse. At least she cares about you, I mean, it's not like she'd leave you two out in the middle of nowhere to die or anything...>
Hone sat down, thinking about what he just said. <Well, maybe you should try to tell her that you can take care of yourself?>
"I wonder what those two are talking about..." Kaki said to herself as she sat back down. Her goggles slid down her head and to her neck. Her eyes narrowed. "Not again..."

Jill stared at the ground as Hone talked to her, nodding meekly in agreement. “Yeah,” she would mutter in agreement from time to time. She already knew part of the stuff the Cubone was telling her. However, it never really occurred to her that she should part with her sister- or at least, that’s what she made of Hone’s last statement. “What?! You mean, just.. leave her? I don’t think I could live on my own,” the Flaaffy babbled, “I mean, I’m too little! I’m younger than Jay and Josefina. They’d never let me wander on my own.” She stared at Hone, startled, but there was a trace of longing in her eyes, as if she deep down liked the idea.. But she knew it was impossible to leave everything behind. Her home, her sisters. They’d be gone in a flash. Jill let out a tiny whine in the back of her throat at the thought. [/center]

Hone jumped in surprise, holding onto his helmet as if it might fall off his head otherwise. When he landed, he scratched the back of his head and beneath the mask he knew he was smiling in embarassment. <Ah- I don't know what to say... Erm... Ah... Hm...>
Hone seemed lost in thought for a moment as he tried to figure out what he was trying to say. In a way, it would have been cool if she could come with them. Then again, suggesting that would seem a little strange... <Oh! I know, you could- no... That wouldn't work... Erm...>
As Hone stammered, trying to figure out what he was supposed to say to the tiny sheep, Kaki fiddled with her goggles, trying to wiggle them back into place. That was when one of her pokeballs rattled... And out came Ai.
<FREEDOM!> The silver pokemon cried as the red glow faded away from her. <Alright, alright, there any food around here? Erm... Who are these people? This isn't a buffet...>

As Ai emerged from his pokeball with a rampant cry, the two Electric pokemon yelped in surprise. Jill stared at them as they there momentarily distracted, and suddenly, as if something had snapped inside her brain, the Mareep leapt into action, pelting as fast as she could down the road that led away from the group.
Away from Jay.. From Josefina.. From life.. It didn't matter where she ended up. She just wanted to be free. Though, she hoped Hone would follow. A little company wasn't bad. [/center]

Hone nearly jumped out of his skull, grasping onto it to keep it from coming off.. His eyes went wide as he saw Jill make a break for it, and he couldn't help but seem shocked. Suddenly, thoughts of what the Ampharos might do ran through his mind, and like a bullet, Hone sprinted off after Jill, leaving Ai and Kaki in the dust.
Kaki sighed, scooping up Ai and holding her close to her chest, she tried to see Hone. Concern grew onto her features, though Ai seemed uncaring.

Jill had been hoping she didn't have to look behind her, but she forced herself to as she heard panting behind her. Relief soared through her as she saw who it was, and she was extremely thankful for the support. <Hone!> she yelled, then taking a moment to glance around the trees. <In here!> she lead him to a place next to a patch of thorns, hopefully a area her sisters would completely avoid. Forced to crawl at this point, the Flaaffy was a little upset at the dirt climbing into her poofy fur.. At least they weren't crawling through the spikes, she reminding her self.. But she had forgotten they were right next to them. She yelped as a thorn caught on to her and kept her immobilized. <Help!>
Jill and Josefina's shock died, but it was about to come back as they looked at the spot Jill had once been. Jill? ¿Dónde está Jill?> The Ampharos' electricty began to accelerate as her worriedness grew. Jay looked around. <No sé ..>
It would then take a few seconds for Josefina to ignite the chase. [/center]

Kaki bent her knees, trying to get a solid footing as the Ampharos showed her rage by unleashing electricity. She pressed her arms closer together, all but squashing Ai, who seemed shaken by the ampharos herself. Not long after the ampharos took off, so did Kaki.
Hone's eyes were wide, and he continued to hold his skull as if it might come off his head. He followed the flaffy under the brush, only for her to get caught on the thorns. He jumped forward, trying to think of a solution, knowing full well he'd have to return to Kaki at some point. <I-uh...>
He grabbed his skull by the snout, tugging on it as he tried to think. Finally, he reached for his bone and crawled under the bush himself, using the bone to judge where he should go. He reached the sheep pokemon and pulled himself forward, trying to ignore the thorns that scraped against his skull. He reached forwards, at the thorn, and then came to a sad conclusion: <I can't get it out!>
<I have an idea, but... You're not gonna like it.>

The howling sounds of Josefina could be heard in the distance as she charged ever closer to the pair. Jill looked back, her eyes dark and frightened as she looked pleadingly at the Cubone. <Anything, anything! I don't want to face my sister!> [/center]

<That's why you're not gonna like it,> Hone answered sadly, turning and crawling out from the bramble. He glanced back, eyes downcast. He could always try to lie?
He crawled out to the middle of the road and began to run forward, pointing frantically in the other direction. <Over there~! Over there!>
Of course, Jill wasn't over there. She was in the bramble. Please play along, Jill! He'd pull Kaki to the side in minutes, and he could faintly see the Ampharos, but not his trainer.
No, he spoke too soon! Running afterwards, puffing as her slender legs carried her into Hone's line of sight, he continued to point frantically to the side. <There! There!> He called, trying to draw Josephina away from Jill. Even if only for a moment.

Without really thinking, Josefina let Hone tell her where to go. She was too caught up in her rampage, her mind blurred by her worry for her sister. Only intent on seeing Jill in danger, she dove straight into the bushes- the wrong way, like the Cubone had intended.
Once the Ampharos was gone from the path, Jay could be seen pelting right behind, shuffling like crazy with her weight and fur. <¿Qué pasa? ¿Qué pasa?> she sputtered, nearly floundering on the ground when she reached Hone. She took deep breaths and muttered, <What's happening..>
Jill kicked her legs nervously and let out a long whine. <Hooone! We have no time to chit-chat..> [/center]

{Goodbye, oh Rare Candies from the suggestion bribe thingy.}
"Hone!" Kaki shouted as she darted forward, pressing Ai to her chest so closely that she nearly dropped her.
<Owie! Ne, ne, put me down~! I can walk! Really!>
<Kaki! I need your bag!> Hone shouted, though to Kaki it sounded like a moan of, "B-bone! Cubooooone!"
"Hone, what happened, eh?" Kaki asked, oblivious to her pokemon's calls. Hone held out his bone, tapping Kaki's pouch with it a worried expression in his eye. "You want my bag?"
Having no time for the chit-chat, Hone tapped more impatiently, and almost whacked his red-head trainer on the hand. She dropped her pouch, Hone rushed forward and dug around for a minute, pulling out two Rare Candies. He lifted them up to the bone helmet, and slipped them below his jaw. <Bottoms up!>
On that note, he slipped them under his mask and began to chew on them. Oh he hoped he had enough time for this!

Hone has escalated to level 7!
Hone's arms has strengthened. He can now use Bone Club! Congrats, little Cubone.As the trainer and her pokemon conversed, Jay had wandered off to where she could smell the scent of her sister. <Jill, Jill, where are you,> she whispered. <Over here,> the Mareep cried. Jay gasped at the sight of her sister, immediately bending down to unlatch the thorns from Jill's fur. <Oh, no! Lemme get you out of there, how unfortunate this keeps..> But she trailed off and looked behind her as- with a rustle and a screech- Josie had emerged back on the scene. Josefina has challenged you to a battle! Level 11 Static- Enemy Pokémon have a 30% chance of becoming Paralyzed every time Josie touches this Pokémon.It was a strange sight, such a usually kind creature running like a maniac looking to rip off someone's skin. Her eyes were lilac, too- she certainly didn't have a frightening glare, that was for sure. On the other hand (quite literally), Josefina's front paw had a smokey smell that tinged the air, like it was burning. She clenched it, ready to Fire Punch the Cubone's jaw to the heavens. This was on. [/center]

"Hone, out of the way!" Kaki shouted in shock, seeing the fire-attack from the ampharos.
<Wha-> No time to react, Hone turned just in time to feel the side of a Fire Punch graze his jaw, his turn having been similar to a dodge--though quite accidental.
"Hone, Bone-club!" Kaki yelled, pressing Ai to her chest even more. The silver Eevee began to struggle more, finally finding the ability to move her paws out from Kaki's grip.
<Right!> The bone-armored pokemon, however, complied with pleasure, pulling back his bone and swinging it forwards towards Josie. "Cubone!"
