"Sigh..." [Melody/Mod/Battle/Open]

[Dante Taylors]

[For simplicity's sake, Melody's posts will be merged into Dante's posts. They're both willing to catch something, if someone doesn't challenge them first.]

Dante stared at the red band he held in his hands as he walked, Avi, his Starly roosting on the trainer's shoulder. As his eyes staring down the punishment he had recieved earlier in the week, he said nothing, he simply walked alongside his sister in the plains. It was her idea, after all, to spend a little quality time together, and at least this way he could subdue his anger a bit. Hell, maybe even battling someone, or something might help even further.

"How could you have gotten demoted into Red?"

[/b] Melody asked, her Eevee, Midnight, by her side. She too, looked at the red band that had replaced his previous yellow one.

Dante bit his lip. Of course he wasn't going to admit what he did to Melody, mostly because he had gotten demoted for smuggling some things to make a future date with Laz much more enjoyable for her.

That, and he had porn in his pockets. That was kinda embarassing.

"I... got into a fist-fight with another student."[/b] Dante lied. "Said something insulting--can't remember too well anymore, I went in a rage--and well, I beat him to submission. Tao happened to be there, and now I'm in Red."[/b]

Melody sighed. "Anata no kishou o seigyo suru hitsuyou ga arimasu yo... <You really need to watch your temper.>"[/b]

"Hai, hai... <I know, I know...>"[/b] Dante responded dully, shrugging nonchalantly. "Besides. He had it coming, too."[/b]

"If you say so..."[/b] Melody sighed once again.

The two twins sighed in unison, and it was quiet for a small while, until Dante spoke up.

"So. How are things with Laz?"[/b]

Melody blushed softly, looking to the side so that Dante didn't see her.

"Oh, please, Melly."[/b] Dante scoffed, and smirked. "I know you too well for you to hide stuff from me. Your eyes are shining, by the by."[/b]

Melody looked down to the floor, then at Dante. "Um, well, I don't know yet. We haven't exactly set a date for a... well, a date, but he said he was going to let me know. I really hope he does."[/b]

Dante shrugged. "Oh, don't worry, he's probably just prepping stuff. It's not like anyone's gonna leave a beautiful girl hanging like that."[/b]

"You're only calling me pretty because we're twins."[/b] Melody said dryly.

"Duh. I'm gorgeous."[/b]

Both twins burst out laughing.

"You know, Dante. It's been a while since we last hung out like this."[/b] Melody giggled. "It's nice.[/b]

"Agreed."[/b] Dante nodded. "So at least we can spend some quality time being trainers, like this Academy intended."[/b]

"Would you like to battle?"[/b] Melody offered, smiling wryly.

"Fuck no."[/b] Dante scoffed. "You're gonna mop the floor with me. Maybe later, when I actually get into more battles."[/b]

Melody giggled cunningly. "Well, whenever you feel like it. I'm always up for a battle."[/b]

"Yeah, no."[/b] Dante smirked.

And so the two siblings continued on in their path, hopefully finding something or someone there.

[Solo]

Down in the plains only a few yards off the trail if they paid close attention Dante, and Melody would be able to hear the sounds of battle. It would be the sounds of pokemon training their attacks, and they would see a blonde haired male giving orders. "Mars Double Edge attack!" he shouted as Mars flew past him at a great speed a trail of green light behind him. "Isis Icy Wind!" he commanded, and he felt the bitter cold blow around his body giving him a nice gentle breeze to cool off with in the hot day. "Aegis String Shot now!" he shouted at his starter pokemon, and it obeyed launching a wide net at a nearby rock. "Apollo Flamethrower!" he shouted the order to his last pokemon, and watched as Apollo let loose a powerful stream of fire from his mouth, and into the sky. Solo was impressed with all of his pokemon, and he grinned at them all. Wearing a black tank top, and white shorts for the day of training he waited for his pokemon to gather around him.

Smiling at his pokemon they had done well, and pushed him to his max. Sweat was dripping from his body like rain, and covering his entire form, and his tank top would have to replaced, and washed as well as his shorts. Solo was a site to behold at the moment, and then he looked around, and saw two people walking. Focusing his vision he could see that one of them was her, and the other must have been her brother. The site of her made his heart clench, and adrenaline started pumping through him like blood making all of his veins come out. His brilliant sapphire blue eyes seemed to crack like a mirror, and his usual aura of coldness reappeared. Even his pokemon were afraid to come near him at the moment, and that wasn't ever a good sign. Staring at the two of them he wondered what he should do.

His first thought was to go have Mars use Explosion right near them, but he knew that would only make him feel worse. Hardening his heart, and putting on his usual cruel smile he walked up to the two of them right in front of their path. His face was well not like his usual serene expression it was more of a "Hey I am a bit crazy!" face. Staring at the two siblings he could only utter a few words to them "Lets battle..." he said to them in an icy tone that was in some ways worse than his usual cruel voice, before walking off to where he had been previously training. Solo needed to constantly battle in order to feel alive anymore, and it was becoming worse with each day. However if it could make him be alive then he would do it. No matter the cost I will be the strongest...

[Volke]

"Hey Fucktards!"

The Black Haired angsty kleptomaniac teenager hollered through the air as he saw the group of people up front, on the hill and everything. With them on top, the teenagers eyes lit up at the prospect of screwing someone over and making life harder for them. With a psychotic laugh, the trainer pulled out all of his pokemon from their cages and released them next to him.

The Piplup that he had newly acquired already gearing up her fins for a good bitchslapping at anyone she might need to fight against, and her beak sharpened if she had to smack someone down and gut them down to pieces.

His Elekid though, was still as careless as ever as he only yawned, not really giving a fuck to whatever was happening on that moment. But since everyone was already out, he might as well get ready to screw some lazy fucks over if his trainer ever felt like it. A constant buzz and hum of electricity would circle around baby pokemon as it got ready.

Cain though, the trainers starter and strongest Mienfoo ever, would only stretch, knowing that it had to win whatever fight it got. Or at least screw over the opponent by giving potshots towards the opposing trainer like how a good pokemon would.

"You bitches and bastards wanna fight? I promise to fuck you all up REAL good!"

[Dante Taylors]

Melody sighed and frowned at the newcomer's abrasive language. "Norou shinaide kudasai. Shitsurei desu yo. <Please don't cuss so much. It's rude.>"

[/b] She said, her soft, melodic voice always trying to be the voice of reason.

Dante, on the other hand, seemed to have been fueled up by his rudeness. "What's your problem, dipshit? You look like you deserve a good old-fashioned beating."[/b]

"Dante... watashitachi wa anata no kishō no hanashi de wanai ka. <What did we say about your temper?>" [/b]Melody said dryly, and stared at her brother icily. Dante didn't seem to mind, Melody often tried scolding him, which seldom worked anyway.

"Yeah, yeah. We can worry about that later." [/b]Dante said, mentally thinking of what Pokemon he wanted to bring out. "Right now, we have better things to do... like beat the shit out of this thing."[/b]

Melody simply sighed and turned to Solo. "Well, I was about to accept the challenge before um, this guy showed up... but I suppose he's going to end up battling alongside you... right?"[/b][/blockquote][/font]

[Solo]

Solo was not amused, or impressed at all with the sudden appearance of a rather foul mouthed boy whose every other word was cussing. Just showed he had no maturity whatsoever, and Solo was appalled at the thought of having to be partnered up with him. He figured that he would have no choice though in order to make it fair unless Melody wanted to be his battle partner, and he figured that wasn't going to happen. "Unless you wanna partner up with me, then I guess I have no choice at all, now do I?" he said to her in his usual cold, and cruel voice. Walking a ways away from the others his pokemon followed him closely behind. Mars, Isis, Apollo, and Aegis were standing him now, and he pointed for Isis to start the battle, and she was soon standing in front of him ready for the battle to start. Solo didn't care who he was partnered with he was to defeat Melody, and her brother if not for revenge then to feel alive. Solo was having a very difficult time accepting the changes, and here was one standing in front of him.

If he wanted to get over her, then he would have to beat her just like he would any other trainer. His brilliant sapphire eyes igniting with the cold fury that drove him towards his goal. Solo was prepared for battle, and everything about him was ready to decimate those who stood before him. If his tag partner should get in his way then he would knock him out of the race early. Solo would not tolerate weakness from any humans. While his attitude towards his pokemon might have improved towards other people was a different story.

[Volke]

"I don't give a damn who I'm partnered up with, so bloody long as I get to hurt someone."

Volke laughed as his pokemon quickly came up to the plate, all three of them ready to bring on the pain and then some. Looking at his partner, the black haired student put up a grim smile as he sent Cain forward. The Mienfoo raring to go and pumping his muscles as if he was the strongest guy in the world. This was gonna be easy shit if anything else.

"Oi! Slow-Pokes, get yer pokemon out!"

Volke taunted over as he gave them a rather offensive sign with both his hands and his tongue. Who gave a damn though? The important thing was that not only was Volke having fun, but that he was pissing everyone else off. That was his mission anyway and this was just him doing it.

Cain was doing the same though, taunting the trainers in poke speak even if they wouldn't really be able to understand them. The Mienfoo was excitable, that was for one, as he kept going around just trying to take away some extra steam. It was even doing jumping jacks for Christ's sake!

It was getting bored though, with how slow these two people with their pokemon and shit. Cain even thought about firing an Aura Sphere at 'em for shits and giggles. Then again, he wouldn't their crappy blood on his hands. Hmm, maybe he should smack his partner down or something to pass the time.

[Melody Taylors]

"Hai. Then so shall it be. Ganbatte kudasai--good luck."

[/b] Melody nodded, and took out a ball from her purple bag. Turning to Dante, the twins nodded at each other, ready to begin.

Dante shook his shoulder, waking up the Starly on his shoulder. "Hey, Avi. Quit it with the laziness. It's battle time."[/b]

Avi hooted softly, as he woke up. Flying off of Dante's shoulder, the Bird-type stood right in front of his trainer, ready for his commands, his gray/black wings flapping clumsily as he did this.

Melody, on the other hand, decided to let Midnight take a rest for once, and decided to release someone else. "Alright. Kasai, let's go!"[/b]

As the Poke Ball landed on the floor, an orange light shaped like a Cyndaquil emanated from it, before revealing that it was, indeed a Cyndaquil. The fire-type let out its battle cry, having earned even more confidence from having trained all those times with Melody. In fact, it seemed like one more battle, and he was on the way of Evolution.

Dante turned to his sister, who pushed up her glasses. She seemed much more capable and competent than before. In fact, the older brother seemed to be impressed at the fact that Melody could give herself such an intimidating battle face, despite the fact that she tended to be happy or seldom frowned normally. He nodded, and smirked, turning back to the battlefield.

"Alright."[/b] Dante said, adjusting his gloves. "Let's get this shit over with! Avi! Aim at that Red, yellow, thing whose name I don't know. Wing Attack! Now!"[/b]

"Mienfoo, Dante, Mienfoo."[/b] Melody reminded him, before beginning the command of her own. "Kasai! Let's start out with Eruption... go!"[/b]

Melody clapped her hands, and Dante snapped his fingers in unison. At the sounds of their respective trainers' noise, the Pokemon began to respond.

Avi flapped his wings clumsily as he began to get in the air again, flying rapidly towards the Mienfoo, he extended his wings, and as soon as he would be in the range of a hit, he would hit with them.

Kasai, on the other hand, stood where he was, and waited for Avi to excecute his move, or else he would hurt him too. However, once Avi was out of the way, the Cyndaquil began to shoot out a barrage of fire and stones, similar in fashion to either an eruption, or a fire-type's tantrum, which inherently was aimed at both opposing Pokemon.[/font][/blockquote]
