Moving Onward +Open+

[Dono.Riakai]

Summer Town, this place wasn't going to hold anything more than anything else in this Star Region. Dono knew that coming here was probably a pretty smart decision for him, since it kept him occupied. Being occupied was a very big deal for Dono, since if he wasn't thinking about something else he would dwell on his past and it would only darken his personality more than it had already. Summer Town was at least peaceful, and not bustling like a lot of the other places in this region were told to be. Supposedly there for productive reasons and to attract attention.

Attracting attention to such a region is pretty pointless. This place isn't anything like it is made out to be. Or else, so Dono thought in his little pathetic mind. Summer Town was yet another example why this Region was a pathetic excuse for an adventure. But regardless, Dono was here now and he couldn't imagine heading back to Sinnoh now. It wouldn't even be worth it. Dono currently had his hands sunk deep into his pockets, moving his hands around them. Dono was gripping onto his little dagger, trying to think of what to do at this time.

Suddenly Dono felt a little hungry, and he just felt like getting something to eat in general. Dono walked around a little bit until he saw an older man walking around, and he saw a glimpse of an apple in his pocket. The apple was of green color, and Dono was actually pretty happy that he had gotten this lucky. Dono held his head down low, allowing his hair to droop in front of his eyes, making him feel a little bit more stealthy inside. Dono "accidentally" bumped into the man, and then apologized quickly. Dono grabbed the apple as he walked away, completely undetected by his victim.

Dono walked a little bit further, before taking the apple out of his pocket silently. Dono chuckled under his breath silently. "Simplistic enough..." He said in a silent voice as he held the apple up to his lips. As he finished stating this he took a small bite into the apple. It twas decent enough, surely satisfactory enough for Dono who had steal his food, even from poor or elderly people. Dono didn't really care if anyone else saw his steal the apple, he thought no could stop him. Dono stopped walking and looked around for a while, his eyes wide open, just looking for someone to mess with or something.

Leo came almost galloping into town on Ponyta. He had just left Sakura Forest after some well needed training and earning his first new friend Hoothoot. The sky was slightly muggy but showed signs of letting up soon. The ground was lightly wet after the morning's drizzle, it felt great on Ponyta's heels as he passed through a small puddle. It was relatively quite here, but Leo felt his stomach growl. Ponyta heard the plea from his trainers belly and noticed a vendor with apples of all colors. Ponyta turned his head towards it and whinnied softly. "Ok." Was all the quite boy said and steered Ponyta towards it.

Approaching the vendor he spoke softly, "2 red apples please." The vendor looked up at Leo. The man paused for a moment, not used to seeing a trainer ride a Ponyta, before giving him what he requested. Leo leaned slightly and paid the vendor, then leaner forward and Ponyta an apple before eating the other. Ponyta ate the shiny red apple, they were a favorite of his and wasn't able to eat them often.

Steering away from the vendors shop, Leo continued on down the townward path, Only just noticing Dono completely unaware of his crime.

Quite interesting actually. It wasn't everyday now where you were just around a town, minding your own business and something so odd yet so interesting happened. Dono had done everything today so leisurely he wasn't on any schedule and he did everything that he wanted today. It was just another ordinary day for Dono Riakai, but this was odd. Dono thought he had seen it all in this boring ol' region. But this guy was different, a guy who was different than every other person in this region. Everybody lacked originality, but some guy now was walking through the town on a Ponyta.

Only real problem with this man's little outburst of originality is this guy's Pokemon. Fire Pokemon were sorry excuses for Pokemon. And in the mind of Dono they were not up to par like the rest of the Pokemon out there. Quite pitiful actually, that so many Pokemon were of the fire type. Dono stood up more straight against the wall he was slouching against when he had stopped walking orginally. Dono slid out his Pokedex real fast, hoping not to draw too much attention to himself doing so. He quickly got a little information on the targeted Pokemon.

Dono didn't bother to read the information he had just gathered from the Pokemon, instead he ignored it for now. Its not like it mattered anyway, he just wanted to information for a later date. Dono started walking towards the man, not taking any note on the danger or anything of confronting such a man like this. Dono walked towards the Ponyta walking at a slow pace. When he had just about reached the Ponyta he took yet another bite out of his apple which he held tightly in his right hand. But he did not clutch it too heavily, for showing any sign of emotion to a stranger like this at this point was against Dono's very way of thinking.

Dono wasn't sure if this guy was a Trainer, Breeder, or whatever . But it was quite easy to realize that this guy had Pokemon to lug around like this, and it would even appear that he had quite a bond with this Pokemon of his. Which would either mean that he is a Breeder.. or a Trainer whose bond with his Pokemon is a force to be reckoned with. Either way, Dono wanted to talk to this man a little bit, and he had already walked all the way up here. Not talking would be kind of awkward, and he didn't want to stand out that much RIGHT now. He wasn't feeling like it. "Sir, walking around here on a Ponyta is sort of.. odd. I'm gonna have to ask you to stop... hehe..." Dono said, following up by laughing silently but sort of maniacally. He loosened his grip on his apple, which remained in his right hand, dangling loosely.

(OOC: I can't help but laugh at your post. It's so....odd.)

IC:

The quite boy smiled, but not physically, as a thing showing emotion was a right reserved for Ponyta alone. He finished his apple and expertly tossed it into a trash can 20ft away perfectly. Ponyta shaked his head with a horselike laugh, clearly amused by his trainers excellent shot. "I guess that was kind of good huh Ponyta?" Leo said in a rhetorical way. The unusually large ponyta shook his head up and down before continuing down the road I'd originally used earlier.

Suddenly Ponyta slowly came to a stop and Leo noticed a young man, about the same age, coming up to them. He watched the young man stop close to Ponyta, an apple held lightly in his hand, something Ponyta had noticed as well. Ponyta slowly moved his head towards the apple, mouth opening slightly, reaching to take the apple out of the mans hand. Meanwhile, Leo sensed an air of dangerousness from the guy. Then spoke about how he rode Ponyta, that wasn't a great move, but Leo's cautious and quiet nature kept him cool. "No thanks." He said plainly, clearly not amused, as it seemed the guy was trying to be funny when he laughed.

(I sort of aim for an odd kind of post with this kind of character. Its... fun.)

Dono realized he had been laughing sort of maniacally, and quite honestly didn't initially realize he had been doing so. He was going insane, enough said. He knew that everything that was happening was really taking a toll on him, so much so that he couldn't even realize how much of sanity he was really losing from this. Dono looked into the eyes of the man, his own right eye twitched a little bit. But this Dono did on purpose, he thought it was funny in its own way.

Dono had really not analyzed this situation to what he should have, and walking up to this person was probably an act brought upon by Dono's ignorance. But regardless, it was going to be fun. Dono watched as the apple had been tossed into a trash can twenty feet away, almost as if shot by an expert of some sort. Dono smiled at the act. What a skillful thing to do, and here Dono thought this guy was just some random dude you find walking around on PONYTAS. Nothing odd 'bout that at all.

Speaking of which, Dono had now realized that the man's Ponyta was taking an interest in his apple. No. Dono looked at his apple, he had taken a good eh, 4 or 5 bites out of it. Being that he was really lacking anything to do and messing with someone was the best option here, he turned and threw the remainder of his apple at the same trash can, but it fell about 1 foot short. Dono looked down as if disappointed in himself however he put on a fake little smile, the one that was on his face most of the time. Because whats more welcoming then a little creeper smile.

No thanks? Dono thought that was probably the worst reply a human being could make at the possible time. But at the same time, it made sense. This trainer was of a calmer nature, and probably now in all consideration, not the best target to be picked on simply because he more than likely wouldn't react heavily. However, even though Dono himself had considered this, it didn't matter. He had already made up his mind that this man would be annoyed, one way or another. Dono chuckled to himself lightly as he looked over to his apple, laying there o the ground next to the trashcan. Dono then looked to Leo, "Actually sir. Lookin' around, I don't see anyone else here doing anything that is not standarized. Yet... yet... your having so much fun doing whatever you like. Its a crime against modern society to have a free will..." Dono spoke while still laughing to himself slightly oddly.

Dono knew that this would be odd to the man, since Dono would clearly appear to be of some sort of insanity. Dono was pointing him out for being even the slightest bit different from society even though he himself did not fit in. Dono liked this, it was great fun to him. Dono pointed his right arm lazily at the trash can. "Ya see, your MY apple, the one that isn't exactly with the others. Sort of, different, ya see. Everyone else in the screwed up little region we live in, is in the trashcan, just fine with being normal." Never did it cross Dono that he was overreacting to some guy riding a Ponyta. Never.

Ponyta was a kind hearted soul, but this new trainer was just awful. Not only did Ponyta believe that the trainer was offering to him, the man threw it away at the trash can, and missed! Then he had the audacity to talk rudely at his trainer. Ponyta lifted his head and turned it towards the new trainer with an angry glare. He did not like this man at all, Nothing but trouble, thought Ponyta to himself.

Meanwhile Leo tried to sooth his friend, patting and whispering soft words to him. Ponyta didn't like him, and neither did he. The trainer insisted on patronizing him, it was annoying. "I don't care about society, or humans." He replied after the man was done with his preaching, telling him he can't do things society hasn't deemed appropriate.

But then, oh then! The trainer started preaching to him again! This time he's being called an odd apple, the very same apple the trainer failed to get into the trash can of society, according to him. Does he really think I care about what society thinks? Leo thought to himself. Society is reason he was the way he is, why he only talks to Pokemon and avoids humans as much as possible. He had been abandoned by society, he could care less.

Leo held a bored face as the young trainer went on about him being different, not normal. He waited patiently on Ponyta's back, brushing down his friends mane, something only the person Ponyta trusts can do. FINALLY, the trainer stopped. Leo leaner over close to the trainer, "The apple I threw, it was you, cuz it need to be thrown in the trash with the rest of society." Though Leo's face was of the bored expression, a glint of amusement flickered in his eyes, and he returned to a normal sitting position. He patted Ponyta and turned him towards the path that lead out of town.

The Ponyta was mad at him? Well thats a start I suppose you could say. Dono looked down at the Ponyta that was now giving him a sort of angry glare, as if it was just a little mad at him or something for some reason Dono did not know. Perhaps it was because Dono was being sort of aggressive towards his master, and of course he just discarded the apple that the Ponyta could have potentially wanted. But still the Ponyta was obedient, still too well taught to act out of instinct or even better; out of rage. But it still didn't do anything. It was just mad, clearly. Dono thought he might pet it, but losing a finger was not to his benefit at this point.

Dono then looked away from the Ponyta to hear the man on the Pokemon say and I quote, ""I don't care about society, or humans." Dono held back the laughter as the man said this. Perhaps he was making him mad, because now he was telling him how he did not care about humans or society. Surely by now this man had realized that Dono was only trying to annoy him by talks about society that Dono himself did not know anything about. Dono then realized that the man leaned in closer to him. This oughtta be good, Dono thought as the man did so.

Oh okay, now Dono was just an apple that deserved to be thrown away into the trashcan of society. This man was different for sure, he actually didn't care about society. And Dono thought he was messing with the wrong guy, this guy was a perfect target to get messed with. Everything about him was just so easy to pick out as an odd human being. Dono realized that this was just going to get fun. It was. But see, now this man was turning to leave. Turning his back on Dono and began leaving. Dono was having too much fun for this guy to just leave him here.

Dono realized he had remained quiet for the time being, and he wasn't about to let this fool have the last word. Dono continued his little odd laughter as he looked up to the man who was leaving. "Usually when I pick on older people they have a little something to say. But here you are just walking away from me... maybe thats why you don't like humans, their 13 year olds are just too intimidating for ya." Dono reached into his heavy pocket and grabbed a minimized Pokeball. Clicking the center he dropped it to the ground, deploying his Buizel.

"Speakin' of which, did I uh.. give you permission to leave?" Dono brushed the hair out of his face with his hand and looked down at his Buizel, giving it a nod. Buizel looked at the Ponyta that now had its back turned to the little ermine Pokemon. Buizel quickly got in a defensive position, and created a little deposit of rain inside its body. After a quick moment Buizel looked up, and used Water Sport, lowering the effectiveness of Fire type attacks all around him. Just as the water hit the ground Buizel switched to an offensive position and then used its speed to an advantage by darting towards the enemy pokemon, using Quick Attack and trying to slash at the Ponyta's right back leg with its right arm claw. Dono was unsure if this was going to work, but he sure hoped it did.
