IN CHARACTER

In Kanto, the skies were dark and foreboding; however, the thunderheads above were, nevertheless, soothing. Was that unusual? For the citizens of the Majestia (the name given to the greater country for which all regions of the Pokemon world belonged to), a thunderstorm was a blessing in disguise. It meant that they had escaped the prehensile claw of the Unnamed Majesty, that they could all live and breathe another day, free from the executions, the torture, and the fear.

It was another day that Lilith's family was safe. With her sister, Cybele, now at the terrifying age of 15, she inwardly feared for the worst. Surely Cybele was not expecting to become a Guardian or something similar, as Lily had eight years ago. She had done it to win her family protection against the Unnamed Majesty. Nonetheless, Lily had since then been promoted to a Pokemon Breeder for Celadon City, a far-cry from hers and Cybele's hometown of Pallet. She was away often and was immensely glad when a 15-year-old named Gwyneth (or Gwyn) moved in next door.

It meant that her sister would have a friend, particularly in Lily's absence.

"Mom, Cybele!" Lily's voice rang throughout their quaint, one-story cottage as she stood at the front door, her hands resting on the right handlebar of her bicycle. "I'm going off to work!" There was a pause as she heard shouting from outside, followed by the sounds of pounding footsteps. Lily winced, recognizing the yelps at an instant. "Gwyn's here." announced the elder sister with a playfully flat tone of voice.

Gwyn made a mad dash for their house, her Skitty, Lady, hot on her heels. Her pigtails-and-braided blond hair was flapping in the wind while her bright blue eyes--hidden behind modern black-rimmed glasses--were wide with excitement. She wore old blue jeans coupled with a loose-fitting blue shirt, and as she came to a sliding stop at the front door, her dirty tennis shoes offered their characteristic 'squeak.'

"Cybele! Hurry! I'm ready to go!" The two had plans to go train their Pokemon together in the nearby forest.

[Sophie]

Awesome! Starter posted.

[Amanda]

Life had been a blur for Cybelle since...they came. She detested mentioning that wretched name, the Unnamed Majesty, even in the furthest corners of her conscience. She knew there had been a time where it had been different, surely it had been in her lifetime; but those memories had rolled out of the grasp of her fingers long ago, if she had them at all. She normally wasn't so dreary, but now that she found herself wondering about all of this imminent chaos bubbling in her beloved Kanto it wasn't a topic she could block out of her mind forever.

Cybelle was a prisoner to her thoughts until something softly tapped her leg which was dangling off her bedside. Vegas, her Espeon. Vegas was a creature that somehow knew her better than any human in the entire region could ever. Perhaps it was the fact she was a psychic Pokemon. The barrier between herself and reality finally shattered when Lily's shout echoed throughout the house. Work? Again? Cybelle thought as she arose from her bed, frowning. Lily never was around, due to her job. She did miss that special bond sisters should have, but now with Gwyn around, she put that aside to grumble about later.

Gwyn? Chestnut orbs widened with appreciation at the sound of her friend's name. She snapped off of the bed and beckoned Vegas to follow her down the hall. "I'm coming, I'm coming!" Cybelle replied, running back to her room to retrieve a sweatshirt first. Cybelle and Gwyn were going to train their Pokemon. Well, not to a level too high, of course...

With a couple skips, she nearly ran into her friend, eager to go. Vegas was also excited, more or less. The Espeon rarely shed any light of her actual emotion. But by the glimmer of her dazzling red gem, Cybelle decided she was happy as well. "Let's go." Cybelle nodded, eager to be released from the walls of her house.

[Sophie]

"Awesome!" Gwyn exuded excitement as she spotted her friend. She was eager to get out of her house, to get away from the tension for a little while. It wasn't that she didn't love her family--of course not! It was just that, well, virtually every family felt The Tension (as many kids bluntly called it) in this day and age. One couldn't go a single day without fearing arrests and executions. Family members beat around the bush with their words and didn't speak much. It was just the way things were.

"I say we go to the forest," the blonde decided with a grin as she walked beside her friend. "I heard that a flock of Swablu were spotted in there. I'd love to catch one as my second Pokemon! Or... perhaps an Eevee, like you and your sister!" Gwyneth's eyes sparkled suddenly. "Oh, I'd just love to have a Glaceon! They are so... so... divine!"

Gwyn was an odd girl. She was awkward and a bit geeky, but friendly and loyal, nevertheless.

[Amanda]

Cybelle always remained hesitant when it came to deciding which species she would choose as her second Pokemon. So many to choose from, yet only one could fulfill the spot as her last Pokemon she could obtain. She always wanted something special - perhaps a Ponyta, or a Squirtle! No, a Persian. This ongoing battle clashed constantly in the busy streets of Cybelle's mind. Vegas sensed the sense of confusion in her trainer's mind. You know, we don't have to have another Pokemon. Besides, I don't like other Pokemon. Vegas was known for her attitude. "No can do, kiddo." Cybelle whispered to Vegas, shifting her attention to Gwyn.

"I'm more focused on training right now, but I hope you catch what you want! Glaceons are gorgeous," she paused to meet the gaze of her expectant Espeon, "but I like Espeons the best. But, I bet you knew that." She chuckled as Vegas snapped her tail in satisfaction.

She watched Gwyn with an intent eye. Gwyn was a bit quirky, but Cybelle didn't mind. She had her own quirks too. Besides, other girls her age were hard to find in times like this.

[Sophie]

"Feeling a little threatened by that loudly empty spot?" purred Lady to Vegas, lingering on the subject of Cybele's second Pokemon. The Skitty gave her tail a flick before padding up alongside the Espeon. Lady enjoyed Vegas' company, despite the other Pokemon's obvious attitude. Given that they were, essentially, opposites, Lady felt as though they complemented each other very nicely. Vegas could be and was rather entertaining and, to Lady, fun to be around.

"If the Pokemon gods are kind, I'll catch an Eevee!" Gwyneth threw her hands to the sky dramatically, as though she were trying to summon some "Divine Force" then and there. After a moment and a snort of a giggle, though, she continued on, excited and revived by the sight of the forest peaking ahead along the horizon.

"How is Vegas' training going? I should probably spend some more time with Lady, myself, but we always seem to get so--I don't know--distracted?"

Lady scoffed teasingly to Vegas.

"She means that she gets distracted. Typically by passing Pokemon or people." the Skitty rolled her eyes good-naturedly.

[Amanda]

Vegas held her nose as high as her small neck could muster. "Of course not! I will always be Belle's favorite." Or, at least, the Espeon could hope. She cringed at the image of Cybelle cradling a brand new Pokemon in her arms. It had to be just her and Cybelle, that's how it had been since...since she was born! How could Lady be so chipper all of the time? This would be a disaster if another Pokemon joined Cybelle's team. Ugh! She trotted along, holding that unwavering appearance of royalty as her paws delicately hopped across the ground. This wouldn't phase her, not one bit.

Cybelle chuckled at Gwyn's remark and gesture. "I hope you do! Then, maybe we can get Miss Vegas over here a bit of competition, eh?" Vegas returned an icy stare at the comment, only initiating another sequence of giggles from Cybelle. She didn't know why the stubborn Espeon she managed to catch held such a high place in her heart anymore. But if Vegas kept her happy, she was happy. Besides, the Espeon was actually a loyal, divine partner - personality aside, of course.

"It's going all right. She hasn't learned a new move in a while, I hope she does when we're out training today! Oh, well, I don't suppose many trainers will be out wandering these neck of the woods, so maybe you'll get some training done." Cybelle assured Gwyn with the last ounce of hope she could find in her body.

Vegas smirked at Lady's comment. "I'm lucky other people get distracted by me instead of the other way around!" she gloated, twitching her set of pink ears.

[Sophie]

Lady simply rolled her eyes, however lightheartedly. She knew that Vegas had the attitude of a yearling, but sometimes she genuinely wondered how she managed to sustain any sanity at all. It may not be a stretch at all to say that Vegas was one of the most vain Pokemon that the Skitty knew. Even so, Lady enjoyed her company and valued her as a companion.

"I am sure that Cybelle has room enough in her heart to love two equally," the Skitty mewed gently, one of her ears twitching.

"Definitely!" Gwyn's eyes lit up as they entered the forest. Immediately, the sounds of Nature and Wild Pokemon filled her ears. Pidgey, Starly, Caterpie, Weedle... those were the easy ones to spot! Now, if only she could find an Eevee.

"Vegas is strong enough as it is," the blonde noted, glancing fondly at her best friend's Pokemon. "When are we planning on challenging Gym Leaders, anyway? It's far past time!"

Lady could only shake her head.

"Oh, Vegas. You are truly lucky that Cybelle enjoys your company so much." a mrrrow of laughter escaped her lips.
