((Karasu, the fight isn't that close to the home, otherwise, Charity would have run out a long time ago to see what the commotion was. Also: Sorry for being a little slow everyone. Had a few tests this week and company came over from out of state.))<br/><br/>**Route 28**<br/><br/>Samuel shook his head in response to Alphonse. "I wouldn't recommend going to Orre. There's not much there but wasteland and dens of criminals. Orre was destroyed some time ago by a strange phenomenon, likely the one that caused the shadow pokemon to thrive."<br/><br/>He knew the more he told Alphonse, the more he'd have to explain. This entire situation yielded only questions for everyone, even himself.<br/><br/>"At any rate, shadow pokemon began appearing, and they have been called a number of things. I think the most accurate term used to describe them is 'posessed.' At first, people assumed that the out-of-control behavior of the monsters was due to poor training practices and mistreatment on behalf of the owners, but that's only partly true. As of late, wild monsters show signs of the problem, as do monsters in the care of good trainers. It's believed that something is awakening or instilling evil into the monsters and causing them to behave that way, although I think it might be more accurate to say that they have been truly possessed by some sort of demon or demons."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>**Palette Town**<br/><br/>Gary came forward, reaching into his pocket and pulling out an unused pokeball. He was about to open his mouth to speak and explain his intentions, when Kavarr's eyes snapped open. Seeing the object in the human's hand, he felt his blood boil and a peculiar fear wash over him with suffocating force. Despite his extensive injuries and the dim flicker of the flame on his tail, his muscles clenched and his wings bolted straight out.<br/><br/>He couldn't afford to be captured. He had to leave, and now.<br/><br/>Gary jumped back in surprise when the charizard suddenly beat those large wings and lifted up off the ground. It's large head swung exhaustedly, neck hanging low as if it had no bones. The dragon sputtered a weak, coughing roar of disapproval, and Gary quickly commanded Blastoise to knock it down again. As the stream of water cut through the air, Kavarr shot straight up towards the clouds, using every last bit of energy he had to get up and out of the way.<br/><br/>This was all that girl's fault. When he got his hands on her, he'd show her what real pain was, as payback for all the trouble she put him through.<br/><br/>Down below on the ground, Gary balled his fist and stared up at the black speck as it disappeared into the clouds.<br/><br/>"Damned beast got away." He turned and started walking back to the car.<br/><br/>Micah stared after him, then looked over at his "maid." The road and everything around them in the immediate epicenter of the brief skirmish was badly damaged. Gary was leaning into the car, calling up a number on his pokegear. Probably the police or utilities. Likely somebody who could get the road blocked off and cleared up.<br/><br/>"I can't believe this." Micah rubbed his neck somewhat wearily. "I haven't seen a monster intentionally do so much damage to infrastructure in a long time...."
