Ichigo was still encircled by flames of anger with tears still rushing down her face "I guess you he-oo-man's don't know the properties of the berries here but, they will help, whether you want to believe it or not they will help. If you haven't noticed I have already helped you a lot and you think I would use attract on your friend unless he threatened me or I want to help him" she said darkly "I have been trying to help you but you've pushed past my trust limit. Your mislead me to trust you and throw my trust over a cliff. You are a dark and shallow being."

(Hope your knee is ok)

((It's fine just stings a lot. And it feels uncomfortable if I have my leg straight. Stupid little brat doesn't care, she just kept gnawing on my hand. >.>))

Takumi snarled. "I don't really care what you think of me! You wanted me to tell you and I told you! You assumed things and then attacked me and my partner! You dare say I'm shallow and cruel! I could put them all inside their pokeballs but do you think right now they'd listen to me?! Or do you want me to force them?! Like SLAVES! Is that what you want?! For me to treat my best friends as slaves?!"

((Doggies :) ))

Ichigo glared and said "Did you even hear what I said I didn't say anything of your pokemon loyalties or whatever. I am talking about how I trusted you and I never attacked you. Also, it seems you don't trust the properties of the berries on this island. Don't you think most people wouldn't even try to help you after saying half the things you said. Well I did and it shows what an idiot I am for that!" Her eyes stung because she would stop crying. She heard other gijinikas and humans but she new they could handle her.

((Guys, I'm having too much fun. And actually, I'm a little worried about Death. Artemis is suppose to be around this scene...))

Di gave a short laugh. "And I told you I'd believe you when you can show me a flying Tepig. Now, are you going to show me what a human can do or not?!" she demanded.

Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She whipped around, ready to attack, but faced a tall Luxray gijinka. His grip on her shoulder was tight, and suddenly a Thunderwave coursed over her body. "What the hell do you think your doing!" she growled angrily, using all her strength just to move her jaws.

"You're getting too hot over this," Lein told her calmly. "No good is going to come of you recklessly attacking and ending up hitting those pokemon. I like he-oo-mans just as much as you, and trust them probably as much, too. But you need to relax."

There wasn't much Di could do at that point. However, she managed to let out a small dragon breath, aimed toward Takumi once again. But the Luxray got in the way, taking the attack and barely looking hurt.

"I said give it up. You're not doing anyone any good," Lein ordered, still calm. Then he addressed the human. "Let's get a few things straight. I don't like you. These two don't like you. You may have brought pokemon with you that like you, but the pokemon here, don't like you. Put simply, you overstayed your welcome the moment you got here. Now, if you want to leave, I'd more than welcome the idea, but don't expect my help."

((Stupid Cocoa...[My puppy].. She looks like a real poodle now so I can't call her Puff Puff any more cause she's not puffy like she used to be. *pouts))

"Of course I wouldn't know anything about this island! Whenever I asked I was threatened!" he yelled. "I tried to respect all of you and give you the answers you wanted, but you attacked me!" he shouted, before just giving up and leaning back against the wall. "What exactly is it you want from us?" he muttered as he forced them all to return into their pokeballs. "We didn't come here by choice, and we don't know how to get home..." he muttered then faced Lein.

"Did anyone even ask for your help?" he let out a choked laugh, before closing his eyes and rested his head against the wall.

((You're right, we probably should stop.))

---

((I'm having so much fun too but I am concerned about Death/Artemis too))

Ichigo cooled off when the pokemon were gone and looked at him. She wasn't happy but at least didn't feel threatened "Listen we don't want anything from you" she said and fell backwards lying down on the ground. Ugghh I feel so weak right now. She sat up dizzy and looked at him. "I think you will have to worry about these two more than me," she pointed at Lein and Di and giggled "I change moods quickly if you haven't noticed." She lay back and closed her eyes but didn't sleep, just listened. Don't let them see through me.

---

((I'm having so much fun that I don't want to stop, but I don't want Death to feel left out either))

Luthra watched in surprise as Lein forced the Deino back off. He actually handled the situation quite nicely.

The he-oo-man yelled angrily at her brother, then leaned against a tree. He took out several round objects, and to her surprise they absorbed the Pokemon. She felt her anger grow. How dare he trap them in such small little cages! it must be cramped in there. How they even fit in the first place confused her, but she was too mad to care. No wonder none of the Pokemon liked them!

"I have an idea about how to get you off of our island." she said, stepping forward. "How about we just toss you into the ocean, and if your Pokemon really like you so much then they'll help you get back to whatever horrible place you come from. If they don't like you as much as you claim then they'll come live here with us, where they don't have to worry about being trapped in tiny little cages or dying in fights!" As she said it, she knew it was cold, but trapping Pokemon was just so cruel that she felt she was justified in being angry.

(I'm back! Sorry I was gone, apparently my parents thought I was on the computer to much the day before, so yesterday was a "no electronics" day. Thanks for waiting for me, though.)

Artemis poked his head out through a window on the side of the observatory. It looked like a fight was going on around the corner. Instead of taking the common sense route, and going back out through the front door, he attempted to jump out the window. Luckily, it was close the the ground, but he wasn't exactly the expert on window jumping, and ended up hitting his knee on the frame, and then just falling to the ground pitifully.

He sent Chaol out from his Pokeball, and mounted him. "Chaol, fly over to the fight scene over there," he said. Nodding, Chaol leaped into the air, flying quickly over to the commotion. What was happening below seemed to be a fight with one of the boat passengers and the gijinkas.

"D***. Why does everyone have to be such a stupid idiot-o? I'm gonna need some backup if I want to break up this fight. Everyone, come on out!" Nonononono. This is not helping at all! Why can't everyone just get along for TEN MINUTES?! He sent out the rest of his dragons, and the group landed in the middle of the fight in a circle, facing outwards. Artemis dismounted Chaol, and stepped forward. "WHAT is the MEANING OF THIS?!" He shouted.

---

Lein sighed. Now the guy with all the dragon types had to get involved. This was getting to be a mess. The Deino girl just looked more furious that she couldn't move now than before.

"Well, it seems your friend here happened to piss off a few of my friends. The Deino was ready to tear him to shreds, and things aren't much better between him and the Eevee. I want this fight calmed down just as much as you do, but don't get the wrong idea. Your kind won't be welcome here, as I was just telling him," Lein gave a short nod of his head toward Takumi. "If you can, I'd recommend leaving here ASAP."

~~~

Di was furious. She couldn't move, and now this idiot wouldn't let her attack. Frustrated as she was, though, she managed to cool off. Looking at the Hydreigon, she knew fighting would be stupid. No matter how or why those pokemon protected the he-oo-mans, they were strong. And clearly these creatures wouldn't fight for themselves, as infuriating as it was. She kind of wished she was a fighting type pokemon, that way she could maybe fight fair with them. From what she'd seen so far, they didn't have any learned moves.

---

"Ah! I'm Seya, this is Sable!" she introduced. The Sable eye waved at the girls. "If you don't mind me asking, what are you?" Trying to appear friendly, she smiled and rocked back on her heals. Her hands went over her shoulders so her elbows pointed skyward, much like she was stretching. Silently, though, she was opening her pack and reaching for the pokeball with the drilbur. Of course, she trusted Sable, but she had no clue how strong these things were. It'd be better if they had a second target if it came to a fight...

---

Ichigo lifted her head to see what happened. Oh, the other one is here. She sat up and said "We don't want you here, I'm not sure if this just goes for me but, I don't trust you guys going around the island either. We don't wan t this place contaminated from your weird culture with these pokemon battling. Clearly your pokemon are more powerful then us but, I think we should monitor them if they need to get whatever they will do to leave." I can't let them pull out my rage, I have to keep calm.

---

Artemis put his hands in the air. "Okay, you got me," he said. "I'll leave, but you've got to tell me when the next boat is coming by here." He put a hand to his ear, pretending to hear a voice. "What's that? Oh, you say no boats come to this island? Gee, I wonder why? It's not like everyone here is an ***hole, or because freakin' gijinkas try to kill anyone who happens to end up here by mistake. Whatever could the reason be?"

He crossed his arms. "I would leave if I could, but I can't, so I'm staying here until there's a way off this freaking island, or else someone here is going to be really sore in the morning when I'm done with them." And I have a feeling I know who.

---

Ichigo glared at him "Well I know who's going to be sore if he keeps talking like an idiot. We could go with the Luxio gijinka's idea and toss you in the sea and see how well you float," she hissed.She took a deep breathe and looked back at him calmly "Listen, why do you think we don't trust you guys. Maybe because of comments like that, maybe the fact that you fight pokemon for fun or maybe it's because we haven't seen any of your species in our life!" she said and growled softly.What are with these humans, it's like they are looking to get killed.

---

Artemis smiled. "You're the one that convinced me that gijinkas were real. I'm going to convince you that I'm real. And...fight Pokemon for fun? What exactly do you mean by that? If you mean forcing my dragons to fight, know this: I don't force anything. I'm just the team strategist. Got a problem with that?" He ran a hand down Chaol's neck.

"Our two worlds have both been separated. For a long time, from what I've seen. You guys are I guess half human, half Pokemon. I'm cool with that. I'm just an ordinary human, with no shmancy outfits or moves or crap. Deal with it."

---

Ichigo smiled and said "I think I've realized that your real but, your world is much more complicated than ours. We have pokemon attributes and he-oo-man attributes but you have both creatures were you are from. You have strange devices that shrink pokemon, magicical healing potions and your strange traditions. We don't have any strange customs like that," she said. Then she looked down at her outfit and said "and whats wrong with my outfit?"

---

Artmis grinned. "Nothing's wrong with your outfit," he said. "Just that it looks like something called cosplay from where I come from. I mean, it's even kinda cute." He took a Pokeball from his belt. "Shrinks Pokemon? That's one way of putting it, I guess. I like to think that it's bigger on the inside." He put the ball back. "And I'd wager that you have strange customs and traditions that I've never seen before, and maybe some that I do know about. Like birthdays."

He paused. "You do celebrate birthdays, right? I mean, Pi Day and Christmas are probably both no's...but who doesn't celebrate birthdays?"

---

Ichigo blushed at his comment but when he started talking about silli-brate of things and she got lost. Ichigo looked confused and said "What's a birthday? I'm not even going to ask about pie-day and Cir-ist-mas." What's with these humans and this silli-brate thing. None of this make sense.

((need to restart my computer, be back in 5))

---

Takumi rolled his eyes. He was tired, and knew he should just stay out of it. At least he tried to be friendly. They never really did. Whatever. He'd be nice, but he wasn't going to do anything. He completely agreed with Artemis though. No boats came through here. They wanted to live their lives, and so did they.

---

Akane snarled, not trusting the human. "What are you doing?" she demanded. She wasn't completely sure, but she was almost positive that this thing was reaching for something.

Rei took a step forward so she was in front of Akane. "We're gijinkas. What are you? Are you one of those he-oo-mans?" she demanded. The fur on her tails was standing up so straight it was starting to hurt. Her body was extremely tense, ready to fight, if need be.

---

((Sorry, got going on Ni No Kuni and my mom just kicked me off, so now I'm back~))

Lein could tell this was going no where fast. They wanted the humans gone, and the humans wanted to be gone, but neither side got their way, because there was no way to leave. Silent, he withdrew to his own thoughts for a minute.

"Why couldn't you fly off? If you ride that Hydreigon so much, why couldn't it fly you back to where you come from?" he suggested. "Look, since you've been here, the entire island of pokemon have been on edge. It's a mentality easy to get sucked into when every bird pokemon that flies overhead and everything on the ground or in the trees keeps screaming danger. And can you blame us for trusting what we know over what we don't? Sure, some of us react a little more badly than others-" he glanced over at Di, who was fuming still, "But generally, most anyone sensible around here won't ever trust you. I don't know what to tell you but to watch your backs, and try not to do anything that could piss someone off worse than you being here already has." With that, he turned to walk away, passing close to his sister. Brushing Di, he absorbed the static and cured her paralysis status.

The Deino was still angry, but instead of charging she angrily stomped until she was in the midst of the Dragon pokemon and shoulder to shoulder with the human they followed and addressed Takumi. "Look, I'm sorry for the pokemon I hit. Don't think it has anything to do with me believing or liking you any more. I care about pokemon, but you humans mean nothing to me."

---

Seya smiled and made sure the ball stayed shrunk to a size that she could hide in her closed hand, then swung her hands down by her sides. "Stretching, clearly," she lied, not giving any sign that suggested she was and looking her accuser straight in the eye. "Don't tell me Gijinka don't stretch. After that swim, I'm sore as heck. And yes, I am human. And it's pronounced a little different than you say. Kind of like saying 'ew' with an 'h' in front!" Hopefully her cheerful attitude would be disarming. "Please, call me Seya! And this is my dearest friend, Sable. Do you have names?" she asked sweetly,

---

"We have no idea where we are, so it wouldn't be wise to push any of our pokemon to the point of exhaustion." Takumi said, rubbing his forehead. He sighed. "Look, we get it. You don't trust us, we can accept that. It's obvious you want us out, and no offense but we'd like to be out too. You have a nice island and all, but we'd like to go home." he said before looking over at Di. "Thanks." he said. "I was going to return them but they don't always listen. Kyuzo's always doing stupid things like that."

---

Ichigo forgot about her question and looked at Di. What!?!? Did Di just apologize to the human. Wow, I thought she was just about to slice their necks off. She looked at Takumi and Artemis and said "Don't try to force your pokemon away if they don't want to go in. We don't mind your pokemon even if they smell like your pokeballs." She went up to the Hydreigon and rubbed the top of one of the pokemons puppet heads and smiled up at him. She looked at Artemis and said "You must have trained it well, Hydreigon normally will try to destroy everything in there pause but yours is... sweet."

((wasn't sure if Kyuzo was out so I went to Chaol instead))
