Algira (looking down at Absol from the lamp) — <Great. As if sharing a room with Xatu was not enough...> — thinks of Nadia *sigh* — <Oh, Tagg...>

Maekrite — <Wha-?> — realizes and cleans himself... — <Sorry Highness... uh... haven't eaten a To-uh... thing, since yesterday...>

Yeah, Sorry I haven't been posting much b/c I've been rather occupied with Okami, which is an amazing game despite certain shortcomings. Just posting since otherwise it doesn't seem right popping in whenever its convenient. Wall of Text! Also, returning N to Almia for now.

-Hotel Room-

N:So...You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine on my own and this way, I can protect Pokemon in the best way I can. While I'm thankful for you taking care of my team and returning them to me for the conference, I still can't think of the benefits of confining them in Pokeballs. Therefore, I request that you keep them for the time being.

Casval:I see...I'll hold on to them, If only because I know we'll meet again. Regardless of if they're wild or not, Pokemon develop attachments. And even if they're separated, they hold memories of those bonds. Can you do me a favor, my lord?

N:Hmm?

Casval:You see, these 3 probably haven't been home in a while. -gestures towards the Blastoise, Weedle and Charizard- You mind bringing them back with you to Almia?

N:Ahh....-stunned the Pokemon were in the hotel room the entire time yet never noticed-Alright. Well then...Goodbye for now.

-N leaves the room, the 3 Pokemon tagging along-

Ho-oh: Oh, that's understandable. Also, you don't have to refer to me as "Your Highness." That implys that I am above everymon else. Which I'm not. No, I'm just like you.

-The iPhokex starts playing Cherry Blossom Storm for no apparent reason-

That's strange.

Yeah Ho oh is just like any other pokemon. Just very strong.

-Somewhere else a short time later, under some trees-

-Thinking-

<Nadia: "I would have done it... I really would have done it... But why? I'm not some mindless monster like that lizard... Am I?">

-Sonny and Courtney fly over, seemingly out of nowhere-

<Sonny: "Oh. It's you. How has your search for your igrushka been going?">

<Nadia: "What would you care? You two didn't even bother to help!">

<Courtney: "Mmm hmm hmm...">

<Sonny: "Da... That may be true... But that doesn't mean that we don't know where he is...">

<Nadia: "You do?! Where is he?!">

<Courtney: "It's simple... We have him...">

<Nadia: "...">

<Toothless: "Nadia! Nadia! Are you there? I'm right here!">

<Sonny: "So I see you like that news too, da? Let me ask... You do want to get your igrushka back, da?">

-Trying to gauge whether the two are being sincere or not, while getting upset-

<Nadia: "Y-You're lying! You don't really have him! Y-You're just saying that to torment me like THE HORRID LITTLE TROLLS THAT YOU ARE!">

-With an unmoved stare-

<Sonny: "Do you want me to bring it out?">

<Courtney: "Mmm hmm hmm... You do like talking to it, don't you?">

<Nadia: "... If you have him... I want to talk to him... By phone.">

<Courtney: "... What.">

<Sonny: "What sort of tupi-">

<Courtney: "How on earth do you expect to talk to a doll over a phone?">

<Sonny: "Fine. We'll put up with this idiotizm, but for the record you're treading on extremely thin ice right now...">

-Sonny flies off-

-Maekrite bows humbly to the Pidgey's comment-

Maekrite — <Sorry... colony customs... You are, like, the greatest thing ever to have glided over the forests in Johto...>

- Looking around at the partially destroyed lobby, while still holding my backpack close to me -

... Are we going to be charged with fixing this? I mean, I know I should probably pay for having those three windows Latias broke replaced, but...

-Looks around-

I certainly hope we aren't.

Ho-oh: I'm glad you think of me that way. But I try to avoid having such thoughts, myself. I don't want to get too the point where I consider myself better then anymon else. No, it is my duty to help others, no matter who they may be, or what they think of me.

Lake: <What should I do, Pepper?>

Pepper: <I think the best thing you can do right now is to keep looking for Toothless. That would be the best thing you could do for her right now.>

Lake: <...Okay.> -Lake gives Pepper a hug.- <Thank you.>

Pepper: -Hugs back with her vines.- <That's okay, Lake.>

Gotta go for a while being forced off.

-Maekrite bows again, excuses himself and approaches Lake-

Maekrite (sheepishly) — <Hey... Lake... what does the plushie smell like? I could help finding it...>

-Meanwhile, Algira notices Tagg and DS, and flashes a sort of "hmph!" before detaching from the lamp and start flying around...-

Lake: <Oh, that would be great, Maekrite! Now...> -Thinks.- <Well, Nadia always keeps him close, so I guess he would smell a bit like a Salamenece.>

Pepper: <Yep! I bet he would! Can you sniff that out, Maekrite?>

-Looks at Algira-

Oh great. I understood what that meant.

- Looks over at Tagg with a slightly puzzled look on my face -

... Is something wrong?

It's Algira.

Oh... She still has a crush on you?

-Algira flies around following the Absol for a while, trying to ignore Tagg and DS. In the end she decides to settle for landing on a flowerpot that (somehow) has survived the place being turned upside down-

Maekrite (raising ears) — <'mence smell. Will do!> — heads down and starts sniffing... — <Uh.. here's one!>

-Suddenly shakes head and growls-

Maekrite — <Nah... that was Nadia... She's really stressed over this...>

-Starts sniffing around the place, walking circles around Luke-

Been busy at the store, did I miss anything?

Felis decided to be a jerk to Nadia about Toothless being missing so she tried to kill him, but Cobalt and I intervened and now she's with Courtney and Sonny as they enact their evil ransom plan.

I think so.

Keep at it, Maekrite. I'm guessing that his scent won't be as strong as Nadia's, though.

Lake: <Right, I'm going to go and check in other places. See you guys later.>

Pepper: <All right, good luck, Lake!>

Lake: <Thanks Pepper.> -Leaves.-

Nadia's plushie is missing! Sonny and Courtney absconded with it! And That's Terrible!

Ninjask'd

-Maekrite keeps smelling around, almost crashing headfirst against the Absol running around as he did-

Maekrite — <There have no been other Salamence around here.... but... why am I feeling threatened?>

Well... I'm not really sure what to do about that.

-A short time later-

-Sonny deftly sneaks into the GC lobby and steals my cellphone from my bag-

-Muffled-

<Sonny: "I can't believe I'm doing this...">

-Sneaks off and flies away-

<Gene: "Wait... Wasn't that?">

___________________

-A short time later-

-Sonny drops the phone at Nadia's feet-

<Sonny: "There, are you happy now?">

<Nadia: "... How do I work this thing again?">

<Toothless: "Nadia! Nadia! Can't you hear me?">

<Sonny: "Ugh... When the phone lights up and start making noises, press the green knopka... It's not that difficult...">

<Courtney: "Why did you even ask to talk by phone if you don't know how to use one?!">

-Sonny flies off again-

_______________________

-Back in the lobby-

"Hey... Where's my phone?!"

_______________________

-While putting some coins into a pay phone-

<Sonny: "I swear I ought to just tear the kukla apart right now...">

-Leaves Toothless on a shelf with the receiver while dialing my phone number-

________________________

-Back at the tree-

-The phone rings-

-Attempts to press the call button, but fails miserably-

<Nadia: "Um... How do I do this again?">

<Courtney: "Oh for crying out loud!">

-Pecks the call button, the phone goes silent-

<Nadia: "... Toothless?">

-From the phone-

<Toothless: "Yes, Nadia?">

<Nadia: "AAAAAAAHHHHHH!">

-To Courtney-

<Nadia: "YOU AWFUL BIRD, I'LL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!">

-From the phone-

<Sonny: "YOU TOUCH HER, AND YOUR IGRUSHKA IS AS GOOD AS GONE! VY PONIMAETE?!">

<Toothless: "OW OW OW! STOP! MY WING'S NOT SUPPOSED TO TWIST LIKE THAT!">

<Nadia: "NO! PLEASE!">

-Starting to break down crying-

<Nadia: "(*sniffle*) I-I just want to talk to him...">

____________________

-At the pay phone-

-Sonny notices an abused and discarded Pikachu doll sitting in a trash can-

<Sonny: "This could be useful...">

____________________

<Nadia: "Toothless! Are you okay!">

<Toothless: "Well your teammate was a little rough, but yeah, I'm fine...">

<Nadia: "Wh-Where are you?!">

<Toothless: "I think I'm at a pay phone... I can see a receiver right next to me...">

<Nadia: "T-Toothless... I'm s-so sorry...">

<Toothless: "It's okay, Nadia... Everything will be okay...">

-Aside, hearing a silent phone-

<Courtney: "This is so stupid...">

_________________________

-At the pay phone-

<Sonny: "Are you done?!">

-From the receiver-

<Nadia: "What?! B-But I didn-">

<Sonny: "Listen up, if you want to get your kukla back in one piece, you'll do exactly as I and moya podruga tell you to!">

-Brings Pikachu doll up by receiver-

<Sonny: "Otherwise...">

-Shreds the doll by the receiver-

-From the receiver-

<Nadia: "AAAAAAAHHHHHH! TOOTHLESS, NOOOOO!">

<Toothless: "It's alright! He's just faking you ou-">

<Sonny: "This has gone on too long...">

-Hangs up pay phone and stuffs Toothless back under his head feathers, then flies off-
