Taking a moment

[TYRUS BLACK]

Tyrus glanced around new bark town with an air of someone who expected more but wasn't disapointed with what he saw there. He didn't see a poke'center within town limits so he was pretty sure that there wasn't a single one in this area. He looked down at tiamat who was grumbling to herself whilst drawing something in the sand. Berries; it was always berries that tiamat wanted reguardless of the time. Tyrus checked his bag and to his surprise he had a few in there; all considering tiamat probrably was rifling around in his bag again during the nights; he didn't mind since she didn't mess up his bag too badly. He paused by a bench that was off to the side and decided to take a seat with tiamat; to him a bench was an open invitation to look around and take in the sights. New bark town may not be that big but at least it's got a lot of trees; so plenty of rest and berries if we're lucky he thought to himself as tiamat threw some rocks at a tree that had some berries resting in the branches in hope that they would fall to the hungry larvitar. Tyrus didn't say anything but he did watch with a bemused smile; it didn't take too long for tiamat to get frustrated with the berries. Tiamat grumbled and sat over by tyrus; remaining just out of reach but close enough to be considered with him. Tyrus let out a loose chuckle and pulled out a few berries from his bag; tiamat let out a little huff and scurried over to tyrus giving him a small pat on the arm before she decided to eat the berries. Tyrus made sure not to get his fingers in the way of the berries; he didn't want to get any bites from tiamat again since they had a tendancy of stinging really bad for a while. Tyrus rubbed the top of Tiamat's head after she was done with the berries; tiamat let out a little sigh of content before curling up on Tyrus's lap and promptly fell asleep. Tyrus decided it was best not to move other than petting the sleeping larvitar; so Tyrus looked about his surrondings as best he could. Once more he was happy that he was in a scenic area; there was so much to take in; the trainer eventually lost himself in gazing at the scenery.

[CLAUDIA CZARNY]

How in the blazing saddles did Claudia ALWAYS get stuck in crazy situations? I mean, really? How can someone literally get stuck in these situations so frequently that her pokemon found these kinds of situations to be regular occurrences? Claudia was currently stuffed inside a small barrel that was being carted around by two Ponyta while the driver continued forward. He was an old man with a straw hanging out of his mouth, obviously uncaring for the new ways of technology - such as a car. The cart bumped and jostled around, making Claudia whimper as she sat in the barrel, barely able to move. She looked up at the lid curiously, wondering what would happen if she pushed it. She put her hand flat on it and pushed up and the top popped off easily, making her wonder why she didn't try that forty minutes ago, when her leg wasn't numb and she could actually feel her arms.

In her excitement, she toppled the barrel to the side which made her roll around and press down on her belt. She heard a familiar sound and looked up to see which of her pokemon had come to rescue her. She grinned proudly when Millicent and Lady appeared, both of them looking unamused at their trainer's predicament. Millicent began kicking her hooves on the ground of the cart, preparing to run at her trainer before Lady stepped in front of her, shaking her head. She motioned at the back door of the cart and Millicent narrowed her eyes, crouching down to prepare a rollout attack. Lady turned back to her trainer with a yawn and then blew a small flame at the bottom of the barrel, making Claudia scramble around inside of it, yelping. Millicent fired the attack at the back of the cart and burst out onto the ground, with Lady and Claudia bouncing out there with her. Claudia bounced out of the barrel and gave a happy laugh, patting out the flames on her long skirt, which had singed up to her knees.

"Another viceroy! Well done, ladies!" Claudia looked around proudly at her Ninetales and Miltank who had both disappeared from her side. She turned around to look for them to see Lady getting friendly with the Ponyta who had been pulling the carriage. The driver had come around and was staring at the back of the carriage in serious confusion while Lady was flirting with the manly Ponyta. Claudia looked around for Millicent to see that she was huffing and puffing toward a boy who was holding a sleeping Larvitar, who had probably seen the whole incident. The boy, not the Larvitar. Claudia bounced over, trying to get ahold of Millicent by the shiny new blue collar that Claudia had recently bought her, hoping to show her dominance as a trainer. "Hang on, Millicent!" She struggled to pull at the pokemon's neck, making the collar rip and the Miltank even madder as she stomped toward the boy.

"Wait, wait-" Claudia jumped in front of her angry Miltank to almost literally fall into the boy's lap, struggling to keep her angry cow back. "Sorry, sorry, she's a bit cranky from being in her ball!" She apologized profusely, swaying back and forth to keep from toppling directly into the boy's lap. She couldn't catch her balance and swayed on her toes for at least ten more seconds before Millicent shoved her forward, directly into the boy. "Yarghgtondosvn!" She yelled in surprise, floundering around on top of him and his Larvitar.

[TYRUS BLACK]

Tyrus was softly petting Tiamat's head when he saw a cart coming from off in the distance. It took quite some time for the cart to actually reach him since the man didn't seem in too terrible of a rush. The ponyta paused for a brief moment when it was passing tyrus as though it wished to stop by the driver shook his head and wanted it to keep going; not that it mattered. A pair of poke'mon were trailing after the cart, a miltank and a ninetails both of which tyrus hadn't seen before. He honestly wondered to himself what they were doing here; he stopped petting tiamat who stirred slightly from the loss of feeling the hand on her head. Tyrus continued to watch the unfolding events which caused the driver to stop after the ninetails blew a little fire at a barrel which produced a trainer. Tyrus couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at this; what made him slightly worried was the miltank began coming over here. The trainer was trying it's best to keep the miltank away who seemed to go by the name of Milicent. Tyrus put Tiamat to the side quickly when the miltank got closer; he was about to stand up when the girl got pushed onto him and tiamat. Instead of what would of been a normal reaction tyrus merely introduced himself; a little out of breath from being landed on but none the less polite. Tiamat woke up right about then when one of the arms of the other trainer baffed her horn since the larvitar was a heavy sleeper anyway.

Oof... I can see that...My name is Tyrus.

Tyrus tried to ignore the floundering trainer for a moment as he stared right at miltank; not so much glaring as just a calm and collected stare. Tiamat was furious at being woken up but couldn't help at laugh when she saw the current situation. Tyrus ignored his pokemon for a moment while he continued to stare at the miltank; he'd blink slowly a few times before slowly helping the trainer off of him and back onto her feet. He'd slowly stand up; his height wasn't threatening since he was only about 5'6 so he figured that the miltank wouldn't feel that way towards him. Tyrus stared right at miltank during the entire time that he spoke; he didn't say much to the miltank since he figured that she was probrably not going to listen to him anyway. He heard her name a few times when the trianer was trying to stop her so he figured that it'd be all right to use the miltanks name.

Millicent calm down. I know you're cranky, but at least you're out of your ball now right? Why not look around a little bit then?

Tyrus ussually didn't try to ask other trainer's pokemon to do something but he figured that the situation dictated that he must. Tiamat was looking at the trainer curiously; she was not curious enough though to go near the other trainer. She still had issues with getting to far from tyrus.

[CLAUDIA CZARNY]

"It's a pleabargain to meet you!" Claudia grinned proudly, preparing to stick her foot out in greeting of the young man. Lady, however, had gotten bored with the unresponsive Ponyta and wandered over, her tails flicking around in mild amusement that her trainer had, yet again, found someone else to follow/bother/annoy/inconvenience. She stepped up and calmly put her paw up as Claudia's foot began flying up. Lady swung the girl's foot back down, thereby preventing an embarrassing underwear incident along with trying to shake hands...with her feet. Where had she picked something like that up? To stick out her foot in order to greet someone? It was baffling, to say the least. Lady stared up at her trainer, eyes narrowed slightly. " I'm Claudia, the fire trainer!" She grinned proudly, making loud fire noises with her mouth.

Her excitement froze, however, when she saw that Tyrus, her new friend, was staring at Millicent, looking at her dead in the eye. "Oh! Um, Tyrone, I wouldn't do that....She gets mad when she's chaliced..." She watched worriedly as he began talking to the Miltank, who was clearly angrier than just being stuck in a pokeball all day. Millicent was mad at the world and you could tell by the way she was huffing out of her nose, breathing heavily as her face grew redder and redder as Tyrus tried to calm her down. No one could calm her down, clearly. She was pressing her hooves into the ground, digging up dirt as she stared up at him, preparing to curl up into a spinning ball of angry cow and smack him directly where any guy would scream in pain. "Ah! You shouldn't look her in the eyes, she gets really offhanded about that and, um, AH!"

Claudia surged forward, trying to grab Millicent by the horns and stop her from attacking her new friend. "Tyrone, watch out! She's gonna blow!" Claudia was being dramatic. Again. She attempted to pull back the Miltank who was making loud huffing noises and mooing angrily about being held back. She huffed at Lady who was sitting back, calmly licking her paw and trying to wriggle up against Tyrus, acting like a cat and rubbing up against his legs. Jeez, what kind of mess had Claudia created this time?

[TYRUS BLACK]

Tyrus knew something was wrong the moment he started to get a negative raction from the miltank rather than the positive one that he ussually got from some poke'mon when he stared at them for a long period of time. He took the hint from claudia and averted his eyes to the ninetails that was now trying to rub up against him like a cat; he had never encountered a ninetails before so he wasn't even sure what exactly Lady was. He knew that some pokemon evolved and others stayed the same but that was just about it. He held out his hand for the ninetails to sniff at if she so wished; tyrus wasn't sure if that was a good idea with lady but honestly you never knew what was good when dealing with some poke'mon. His voice grew soft and was barely audible for anyone out of the range of the group.

Don't suppose that there's anyway of calming her down...?

Tyrus's voice was surprisngly mild; you would think there would be some nervousness but in reality he wasn't the sort to get too nervous when it came to dealing with poke'mon. Tiamat wasn't staring at Milicent's eyes but she was staring at the miltank as a whole; the small poke'mon hopped off the becnh with an exclamation of her namesake before offering the miltank one of the berries that the larvitar hadn't gotten to eating yet. While tiamat wasn't the most social out of all the poke'mon tyrus had met she certainly was friendly to some of the more agressive types for some reason.

[CLAUDIA CZARNY]

FFFFF, Claudia was struggling so hard to keep her Miltank from just performing a rollout and attacking the man in front of her. Claudia couldn't figure out how to stop her pokemon. Maybe throwing things at her? No, that would make her more angry. Trying to divert her attention? No, she was just going to stay mad. Cheese, this was hard! She frowned in the direction of her useless Ninetales who was still curling in and out of Tyrus' legs. She paused and butted her head into his hand and then went back to pressing against him. Claudia knew this routine. The frisky Ninetales would act like a cat for a bit and get the trainer all tangled up and then, when he finally sat down to pet her properly, she would climb into his lap and begin nuzzling his crotch. Claudia smiled. She wouldn't be having any of that today! She already knew how she was going to stop her pokemon!

"MILLICENT." She practically yelled at the angry Miltank who still had her eyes on Tyrus, growling. "You will step back and return to your- Oh." Claudia's frustration with her pokemon subsided when the little Larvitar extended a berry. Claudia's lower lip began to wobble as she looked at the little pokemon. So small, but so majestic and so rare and just so damn cute! She turned and gently hit her Miltank in the belly, to get her to step back. Millicent glared at Claudia indignantly as the girl dropped to her knees, eyes locked on the little Larvitar, flat on the ground, her skirt flipping up on her butt as she focused on the little pokemon. Millicent growled at her trainer's indecent exposure and jerked at the girl's skirt, attempting to pull it back down, but ended up putting a hole through the flimsy material, pulling it down even further instead. Claudia was unfazed. She was still staring at the the little pokemon, carefully taking the berry from the small darling. "Look, Millicent, she got you a ber-" She cut off when she looked back to see a frustrated Millicent, jerking at Claudia's skirt, poking more and more holes in it.

Claudia pouted. "Don't worry about it, Milly!" She grinned. "I've had worser!" She said, spinning the skirt around to look at the damage before tugging it off her waist, standing there in her Tuesday night panties, even though it was Friday morning. She held the skirt up and peeked at the holes that her nervous Miltank had made. Millicent was grumping to the side, eating the berry that the Larvitar had given her. "Thanks." She grumbled to the Larvitar in pokelanguage, glaring up at her trainer, who had gotten her in this mess in the first place. Claudia tossed the skirt over her shoulder and came back over to Lady who was preparing to go for the kill on Tyrus, her face making a beeline for his crotch. Claudia grabbed her wily Ninetales by the waist and threw her over her shoulder, like a sack of potatoes. Millicent snickered up at the wayward Ninetales who squirmed against her trainers back, growling deeply. Claudia grinned. "See? I told you, Tyrone, that I had this under contrary." So proud. She was glowing at how she'd handled her crazy pokemon.

[TYRUS BLACK]

Tiamat immediately backed away from Claudia after she had given her berry to her and Millicent had eaten the said berry. She was terrible with people half the time and the eccentric behavior was rather confusing to her. Tyrus took her upon his lap after that and made sure to have at least one hand upon her horned head. The larvitar didn't move but it did keep a good eye on Claudia, she wasn't sure how to treat this particular trainer so reclusive seemed to be the best route. Tyrus shook his head at his own pokemon's actions, usually she was a little less passive and more aggressive when it came to things like this. Tyrus sighed and shook his head as the trainer ripped her skirt, this certain was an odd encounter come to think of it. The Ninetails went from being all cute and cuddly to a grumble mess on the back of the other trainer of which Tyrus was rather thankful; he didn't usually deal with the kind that liked that much attention...

It's Tyrus, and I think you mean control?

Tyrus once again shook his head but he couldn't help but feel a grin spread across his face. It was odd, he normally didn't deal with folks so perhaps this was more what he should be expecting. The trainer wondered exactly what had brought her to this area so he couldn't help but ask in a more or less blatant manner.

All considering Claudia, what brings you to these parts?

Tyrus rubbed Tiamat's head who in response clung to Tyrus even tighter, she was becoming awfully clingy as of late which was rather strange compared to how she normally acted. Perhaps she would go back to normal after she got used to Claudia being around.
