Luthra already disliked the creatures. When Lein said that they were at the haunted place she couldn't wait to go. She almost wished she had been there with the Deino girl to help chase the he-oo-mans off. If they were terrifying the Pokemon and chasing them off then they were just begging to be attacked.

Lein began to walk, going irritably slow. She sighed and sped after him, then past him. She knew where the haunted place was. Everyone did. She was getting more curious about the he-oo-mans by the minute. They were like an itch she couldn't scratch. The Luxio Gijinka looked over her shoulder to see if Lein was keeping up with her fast pace.

Ichigo watched the pokemon come out of this pokeball and glared at him. "No way can a pokemon fell comfortable in that tiny thing. Also, what purpose do you use for the pokemon you force into these pokeballs," she said. She could tell he was holding back on something about his strange culture.

Ichigo walked to Di and whispered "I can tell you still don't trust him but, we might as well find out what we can."

---

Takumi watched her amused. It was obvious they didn't trust him. "It's possible because that's the way the pokeballs were made. They were made to fit a pokemon of any size inside of them." he explained. He was quiet for a moment, as he lifted the arm that held Furaito and watched him fly up into the air and wander off.

"Well it depends on the person. Some people keep pokemon as companions so they don't get lonely. Those pokemon usually have good lives. There are people like me and Artemis who collect pokemon and we battle others like us. We have pokemon battles, where two or more pokemon fight against each other to test their skills and grow stronger. Some also have pokemon for protection. There are some wild pokemon that will attack for no reason, and could kill us. So, we have pokemon to help protect us." he explained.

((I just thought of something he would do if one of you thought he meant killing them...Can someone do that...? Pwetty pwease? x3 lol It's fine if you don't but I thought it'd be cool.))

---

Ichigo was stunned. He battled pokemon? That's cruel. "YOU BATTLE POKEMON!!! THAT'S CRUEL AND I BET THEY GET INJURED. IT TAKES SO LONG TO HEAL AND I BET PLENTY DIE FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT OF BATTLING THEM!! WHAT IS YOUR EXPLAINATION THIS TIME!" she yelled at him and glared crossing her arms.

---

Before Aramina could answer Rosanna's question, two more Gijinkas came forward from the trees and greeted them. She was going to answer their greeting, but....not two moments later, Rosanna's small ears quickly picked up another presence in the area. More Gijinka? I...thought we were trying to avoid being seen. Maybe it's that Luxray.

A few leaves crunched under the stranger's feet. Rosanna wasn't sure if she should call out to them, or just stay quiet.

((Heh heh heh, happy to oblige~))

Listening to this, Di's eyes widen. In a split second she had Takumi by the shirt and was shoving him up the wall of the haunted place. "I knew you humans were hiding something! How DARE you use pokemon like that! No wonder the pokemon hide! You kill them! And you use them to save your own skins! You weaklings can't even fight for yourselves!" Her voice was loud, echoing against the wall as she got her face as best she could into the taller human's. Totally enraged now, she was ready to rip at his throat if he even so much as tried to struggle.

---

((HAHA good job Mituna))

Ichigo watched Di ready to strangle Takumi. she walked up to him and gave him an evil glare and a dark voice"Now please explain why you kill pokemon before we tear you limb from limb and I suggest you don't struggle. I can tell if you lie so don't even try." Her muscle itched to kill him but, hoped for his sake he could come up with a good explaination without lying. As an Eevee she could sense his intentions and hoped she wouldn't sense lies.

---

Kyuzo growled, and readied an attack at her if she so much as harmed him. Kusa following his example. Rin emerged from her pokeball as well, sparks emitting from her body as she growled lowly at Di. Takumi's eyes widened as he heard both of their claims before they hardened.

His voice was filled with rage at their suggestions and implications that they killed pokemon. "How dare you make assumptions!" he snarled, his legs reaching up and kicking her in the stomach, causing her to let go of his shirt. (That's all I'm doing for your character! x3) He glared at the two as Kyuzo, Kusa, and Rin surrounded him, with Furaito circling them above. Reiji and Rairakku would've come out as well, but they didn't want to upset the eevee gijinka anymore.

His eyes were blazing with an angry fire as he glared at the two. "The battles always stop once a pokemon FAINTS! They are returned into their pokeballs where they can rest until they are taken to a Pokémon Center where they can be healed by the combined efforts of both Pokémon and Humans!" he shouted. "I saw an Audino on my way here. Audino's are one of the types of pokemon that work with the nurses at the Center's to heal pokemon. Most pokemon are healed within the same day as they are brought in." he growled.

---

Rei let out a soft growl, trying to ward off any danger. Akane did the same. The two of them were pretty powerful against each other, but on their own, they were even worse. They'd fight if they had too. And it wouldn't be pretty if they did. They would protect these two.

((Gah! Stop posting! I had to rewrite my whole post! x3 lol))

---

Ichigo was even more enraged by how he is letting his pokemon fight for him. She grinned and looked at Furaito she looked at him and used attract and winked at him as his anger melted and stopped circling them. "I guess I forgot to tell you I can use attract. Also, what do you expect us to think when you say you battle pokemon when we are out in the natural world where we don't have your magical pokemon centers that heals health and wounds," she said sarcastically "and since humans and gijinika's are so similar i'm sure my attract could effect you easily. You are weak, making pokemon fight for you and using four against two of us."

---

Takumi growled before returning Furaito, so he could get rid of the Attract condition. "Try that again, and that'll be you acting like a love sick fool." he snarled. "We didn't plan to come here. We don't mean any harm. But now we're stuck here. So unless you can help us get away from this island, then we're stuck here."

---

The two Gijinkas that had joined them started to growl.
They sensed it, too. she thought. A small, involuntary spark came from her hair. Danger! Danger! it warned her. The sound of leaves being crushed underfoot became louder, and quicker. Taking action, Rosanna took Aramina by the hand, and pulled her behind a nearby tree.
"Aramina....let's hide here...okay?"
If it's something dangerous after all, they would be safe with the higher-level Gijinka watching over them.
It'll be okay... she told herself. Once again, she was scared.

---

((But wait! There's more! >D DANG IT YOU GUYS I CAN'T GET MY POSTS OUT FAST ENOUGH!!))

Lein smiled as he watched his sister go by. Well, at least she wasn't slow. A second later, he took off himself. Just as she turned to look over her shoulder, he was caught up to her. "Race ya!" he teased, then zoomed off ahead at top speed, barely dodging trees and often jumping over low bushes.

As he grew close though, screams reached his ears. Suddenly, it wasn't a game anymore. He drove himself faster, just hoping whoever he heard was alright. Just out of view in the tree line, he stopped, his hair and fur crackling with static as he quickly took in the situation. The Deino gijinka had the he-oo-man he'd dealt with earlier pinned up against a wall, and there was an Eevee with her, looking just as angry and making some very big threats. The Deino hadn't even been this bad with the other guy! Damn, he must of done something bad to piss them off! When more pokemon appeared and the guy nailed Di in the stomach, he stepped out, the air actually crackling with electricity now, and his eyes narrowed. However, he listened to the human.

---

Di grunted at the kick in the stomach, stumbling back a ways and releasing him. However, she smirked. If he wanted to fight, that's what he would get. He could have had fifty pokemon around kissing his @$$ with every command, and she still wouldn't give two [you know what]s.

"And I'll believe every word you say when Tepig's fly," she growled through clenched teeth. "Now, you pick a fight, then you better be willing to finish it. Can you prove to me that he-oo-mans aren't just using pokemon to save their own sorry @$$es?" It'd been too long since she had a really good fight, and suddenly she was fired up. This always happened when another pokemon managed to land a hit on her. There was no stopping the adrenaline coursing through her veins now. Without hesitating, she rushed straight back at him, teeth bared and ready to get physical.

---

Rei noticed Rosanna drag Aramina behind the tree. She flicked her gaze towards Akane who gave a subtle nod. She nodded back. "Don't just hide behind it." Rei whispered, her voice loud enough so only the gijinka's could hear it. "Climb it as high as you can." she said, before turning her back to them as she continued to scan the area.

---

Takumi narrowed his eyes, watching her rush at him, and before he could say anything Kyuzo was in between them. "No!" he shouted, his eyes wide with worry as the Typhlosion took the attack.

He froze as Kyuzo fell to the side from the attack he wasn't fully prepared for. "No!" he shouted again and ran to his partner. Reaching into his bag he pulled out a bottle that held a potion. He quickly poured a small amount into his partner's mouth, hoping it would help him.

---

Ichigo grabbed Di's arm before and pulled her back from attack mode "Di, he has 2 other pokemon level 70's and 50's that aren't effected by attract. Don't be rash," she hissed ready for Di to bite he to get her to let go.

She glared at Takumi "You think your so strong with the protection of you pokemon but, without them or me you would be dead right now. Di would've killed you from the beginning. And you think you could use your powers to make me lovesick. HA. As if I would fall for an idiot like you," she said. At least he cares about his pokemon.

She used attract on the Typhlosion twice since he was resistant. "Come here," she said soothingly. When he came over she ripped a piece of cloth from her jeans and tied it aound the pokemon's bite marks and gave him a pecha berry that Lily gave her.

---

Hearing Rei's gentle command, the Minun and Furret Gijinkas started up the tree. Rosanna and Aramina took turns helping each other to the next branch, and it wasn't long before they were quite high, well above the reach of a normal-sized Gijinka.

Rosanna felt a little dizzy from the climb, and held on tight to the middle of the tree. She made sure her legs were on the branch, and not swinging down. "A-Aramina? We're going to be okay, right?" she asked, whispering as quietly as she could. This change in height made her even more scared.
We'll be okay... said her thoughts. If she kept saying it to herself, maybe it would be true.



((Death, hopefully you're all right with Rosanna pulling Aramina places. xD))

---

Takumi ignored her as he kept his eyes on Kyuzo. "Hey buddy. Come on, look at me..." he muttered. When Kyuzo refused to respond a tear fell down his face, and soon others followed. He cursed before digging in his bag, looking for something stronger to feed him. "Come on, Kyuzo! Wake up!" he shouted, his voice filled with pain.

At his cry, Rairakku and Reiji appeared, standing on each side of Takumi, nudging him gently with their noses, while Rin and Kusa stood in front of them, watching them warily to see if they would attack again.

Kyuzo groaned, and Takumi breathed a sigh in relief, his head hanging down, his bangs covering his eyes. "D-don't....don't you ever....ever do something like that again! You idiot!" Takumi shouted at him. "We've already been over this! You don't do something so stupid!" he shouted at Kyuzo, lifting his head to glare weakly at the Typhlosion.

Reiji sighed and looked over at Ichigo and Di with hard gaze, Rairakku coming up next to him. They hadn't come out earlier because they knew of Takumi's wish not to hurt her emotionally any more, but this they couldn't stand.

---

Ichigo burned with anger as he willed his Umbreon and Espeon out. She was no longer scared but enraged that he tried to hurt her. she looked at him and yelled "YOU IDIOT DO YOU NOT JUST REALIZE I GOT DI TO STOP ATTACKING KYUZO AND GAVE HIM A BERRY TO HELP HIM HEAL! DON'T YOU REALIZE POKEMON DON'T FEEL PAIN WHILE UNDER ATTRACT! I WAS HELPING HIM SO HE WASN'T IN PAIN ANYMORE BUT YOU FEEL YOU MUST TAKE OUT THOSE TWO," she pointed to Rairakku and Reiji. She let go of Di and let her tears finally spill but, she wasn't scared this time.

---

Annoyed that her target had been blocked, Di swored loudly. "Stupid! This fight is between you and me! Keep you pokemon out of the way!" she ordered angrily. But she wasn't done yet. She was no where near tired, and in this state she could hardly care less even if she was. "Now suck it up and fight me! Next pokemon to get in the way I WILL knock out!"

The touching moment couldn't effect her, not even the hard gaze of the human. In fact, it excited her. Ichigo's warning did nothing. Gearing up again, she prepared to charge once more straight for the human. Nothing could reach her. It was like an entirely different Gijinka.

---

Things got quiet as Seya approached where she thought the voices were, and she slowed down. Sable nearly plowed into her, but stopped just in time. In moved around in front and motioned that these were not humans. Still curious, though, Seya shifted her pack with empty (plus one full) pokeballs in it, and moved to where she could see. The people there looked humanoid, so she stepped out into the open despite Sable's protests. Besides, what could they do to her?

As soon as she saw the girls clearly though, she realized what Sable had been saying. "Uh... hi?" she said awkwardly. Inside, though, her mind was racing. They're part pokemon! Maybe this is what became of those scientist! Sable stepped up beside her master, glancing between the two odd smelling, human pokemon things. She sniffed again, and looked up into the tree with the other two girls, and gave a creepy little chuckle.

---

Luthra saw Lein ran after her and caught up.

"Race ya!" he called and sped ahead.

How childish! she thought, but at the same time felt a challenge rise inside her. She pelted through the forest, enjoying the feeling of wind blowing through her short hair. Suddenly she heard yelling up ahead. She saw a flash of Lein speeding up, his long legs speeding toward the shouts. She arrived to see a few Pokemon gathered around an Eevee Gijinka, a Deino Gijinka, and a strange creature that seemed to be a Gijinka at first, but if it was then she had never seen the Pokemon.

That must be one of those he-oo-mans... she thought. Electricity sparked in her hair and she clenched her fists. If the he-oo-man hurt any of the Pokemon... Her eyes flashed dangerously.

((I didn't see that part, but I was implying that he was unconscious. x3))

Reiji snarled at her while Rairakku growled at her. They both barked at her, telling her to be quiet. "We came out because our friend is in pain!"

Takumi finally looked up. "You think a stupid berry from here would help him?!" he snarled, finally standing up. He didn't bother to wipe his tears away. "Where I come from, there is medicine specifically made for pokemon, and that's what he takes when injured! Berries barely help any pokemon from where I come from!" he snarled, before he turned his glare on Di. "If you understood ANYTHING about what I've been telling you, you could've figured out they would protect me! We've been through our whole lives together! I told you that some pokemon can come ut on their own if their will is strong enough. And guess what? They did." he snarled.

---

Akane snarled at her, not trusting the he-oo-man in front of her. Rei growled lowly in her throat, the fur on her tails standing up straight as she glared down at the Sableye.

"Who are you?" Akane demanded, her glare growing fiercer.

((Dear lord, my knees hurt! >.< I had to drop to the floor and skid across the rug to catch my puppy before she got to far into this room...Owie...))
((EDIT: I'll be back soon! Dinner))
