scream [open]

[Cappa]

    A young emolga stood on top of a freezing mountain. She was grinning from ear to ear and looking over the island she called home. It was freezing on top of the mountain peak. A place called the snowy mountains and if she stayed up there much longer she might freeze. So the little girl flipped down some goggles over her eyes and readied her flaps that worked as wings. She was a glider not a flyer so getting up high was a must. This was one of the highest places she could think of. So the emolga took a big breath and then jumped, extending her arms to the fullest.
    For a quick second she fell, and then the air caught her wings and she glided away from the rocky death that may have awaited her. Her name was Cappa. She lived at the nursery in the town, being that she didn't know where or who her parents were. Most of the people there were little kids, but she wasn't. She would be out of there soon and she had to be ready with some cool tricks to show people on the mainland. She wasn't going to stay on Cresent Island forever. She wanted to be famous for her cool gliding tricks. That was Cappa's dream.
    Then she took to spiralling. First in big wide circles in the air and then in tiny little ones. She straightened out and then looked out at the scenery. Her goggles were easy to see through and she could see almost every edge of the moon shaped island. It was easy to imagine cresselia creating this island as her own part of earth. The earth was lost from Cappa's vision as she did a flip backwards. She could only see the sky for a second as she reached the apex of her loop. She fell backwards and the faced down again, her wing flaps catching onto the wind once again. Cappa laughed and the did another loop.
    Then it was onto the diving. Cappa turned her head towards the ground and tucked in her arms. This was why she needed the goggles. The air made it so that her ears were plastered to her head. She loved this feeling. She was falling with nothing to hold her back but herself. When Cappa could almost see apples on some trees below she extended her arms. She was jolted back and then slowly floated down until she landed on a tree. Cappa was laughing and whooping from the top of the tree as she picked and apple and took a bite. It was bitter. The young emolga spit it out and look around. The area she was in was dark, with too many tree and overgrown. In a second it hit her. The gloomy forest. The exhilaration of her flight was all gone and replaced with a cold terror. She had never been in a dungeon before and something told her it wasn't going to end well.

[Beat]

Flying above the Gloomy Forest, a Noivern had landed in a large tree, the branch slightly bending from his weight. The dragon had merely come to this forest to train so he could eventually head to the Jagged Castle Dungeon. He heard that place was supposed to be quite deadly, and the Noivern relished the challenge. A place like this seemed like a good place to prepare for the big leagues.

Looking down from the tree, the bat dragon saw a Emolga below. Hm. Odd, he did not expect a pokemon like that to be in a place like the Gloomy Forest. The Noivern's name was Beat, and it was a name he held with great pride and confidence. Chuckling to himself as the Emolga spit out a bit of the tree's bitter apples, Beat finally decided to make himself known. He lowered his head somewhat, but the electric pokemon would still have to look up to see the bat-dragon. " 'Sup. "

[Cappa]

As Cappa was thinking of a way out of the forest without dying a noivern popped down just a little bit above her. Sup. Cappa screamed. She scrambled away from the noise that came from a pokemon she couldn't see, but considering she was on a branch all she did was scramble into thin air and drop like a rock. This time it wasn't on purpose and she didn't have the time to extend her arms and catch the air. Cappa hit the ground hard. She looked up frantically and saw the noivern that had scared her. It seemed silly now how frantically she had reacted now that she was on the ground and realized that the pokemon probably hadn't meant her any harm from his words. "Not much." She said between scattered breaths. When something snapped on the ground she scrambled up the tree again. Cappa's eyes darted around worriedly. The young emolga was really hoping the noivern was nicer than the wild pokemon that surely inhabited the dungeon.

[Raiden Karai]

Raiden stalked through the forest. Another mystery dungeon, another quest. What was the point? Perhaps he should try the castle sometime and test his strength. Perhaps later, he still had a quest to do. A scream interupted his thoughts, and quickening his pace, he trotted into sight. A noivern and emolga were above in the tree, the emolga resettling herself on a branch. Raiden watched them, mildly curious. His quest wasn't urgent. What was such a young emolga doing here? The noivern he could understand, but the shaken emolga seemed out of place. Was she lost? Perhaps. Raiden watched the two, looking up at the trees branches in silence, his tail twitching slightly.

(OOC: hey Beat, is this before or after Silence is sweet? I'd assume after, so perhaps they recognize each other?)

[Beat]

(( I'd say afterwards, so they should recognize each other I suppose. ))

Beat opened up his wings, then proceeded to fly off the tree and land on the ground. He had a rather content and calm look in his eyes, which was unlike the Noivern's pride filled and daredevil personality. He was starting to grow out of scaring pokemon when he was bored, and was slowly becoming a bit more calm to say the least. " Ah, Don't worry. I _usually don't bite. I simply came here to train for a bit or something, just a bit bored to say the least. "

[Cappa]

    Cappa watched as the older pokemon abandoned her in the tree. She jumped out and opened her arms as well so that she landed easily right beside him. He was much bigger than her and she assumed stronger so maybe he could protect her. "Since you don't usually bite would you mind getting me out of here. I've never been in a dungeon and I'm pretty sure my skills aren't good enough to get out." Cappa was still looking around to make sure that there wasn't anything here that could hurt her. She wanted to be ready if they did get into a fight. Then she spotted something yellow between some leaves that was gone as quick as she had seen it. It had looked like a star. "Oh my goodness Mr. Noivern there is a pokemon over there." She got behind him and hoped he would just defeat the pokemon, that happened to be Raiden Karai, because she was too freaked out to do anything but cower.

[Raiden Karai]

Raiden prowled through the bushes. He knew from last time that the noivern's hearing was as good as his eye sight, which meant stealth was almost pointless. Interesting that the two had chosen to come down. The young emolga seemed to just be following the noivern. Perhaps the dragon had descended because he had sensed Raiden. It didn't matter though. He emerged from the bushes before the two. "Your a little young to be out here." His gaze was on the emolga, but after finished, his gaze transferred to the noivern. Mr. noivern? Cute nickname. And how would mr. noivern respond then?

[Beat]

Beat narrowed his eyes as the Luxray came out from hiding without him even having to command him to reveal himself. Well, Beat was quite the strong pokemon. He opened his wings and lowered his head somewhat, ready to lunge if Raiden made any funny moves. The insides of his large ears let out a very faint glow since Beat had began to ready a Boomburst. " Look, I don't want any trouble. But if you attack us, I will not hesitate to fight back with no mercy. " Beat actually did want to fight somewhat. He needed to train as much as possible, but now that he had a little companion near him, it might be better to safely get out of here as soon as possible. 

[Cappa]

    Cappa watched carefully as the pokemon emerged from the bushes. He looked dangerous and of course the first thing he did was talk to her. Cappa felt like sticking her tongue out, but that might provoke the pokemon it it would only make her seem more childish. Luckily the noivern had her back. He was in a fighting stance and seemed ready to attack. Cappa stayed behind him. She hoped that they were both good and that they didn't get in a fight and that they could all get out of the forest as quickly as possible, but if they did fight then she had attacks. She had to remember that so she could help a little if it came down to it. Cappa stayed alert.

[Raiden Karai]

  Raiden watched, expressionless, as the noivern raised himself up into a battle stance. There was both hesitation and eagerness in the noiverns actions. Raiden made no move though. "Itching for a rematch? Perhaps it best if we reschedule that one." His golden gaze flicked to the young Emolga. He had a quest to do, and she needed to be escorted out of the dungeon. Those things would have to take presedance. Perhaps they could battle later, elsewhere, but in the middle of a dungeon with a kid was not the ideal spot. Raiden sat in the grass, his tail curling around his paws. His gaze traveled back to the noiverns again, almost as if questioning the dragon.

[Cappa]

It seemed as if Cappa was in the clear. The new pokemon seemed nice enough, although he still freaked Cappa out she wasn't really terrified anymore so she wandered out from behind the noicern's back. "Fyi I'm Cappa." She stated quickly. She looked between the pokemon. They were both quite old. They must be adults. Surely two of them and one of her could manage to get out of here quickly. She's have a cool story to tell the little pokemon back at the nursery. Falling into a dungeon was about the coolest thing that could happen, in theory. In experience it was spooky and not at all fun. She might hype a few details to make it sound better. Who would have to know anyways? Just her.
