Out on an errand (mod)

[vera]

Vera had noticed some of the things around her ranch had taken a bit of a beating and could use some replacing, as well as some other general things she felt she needed to get. Sure Violet town had its own pokemart, but she didn't want to risk clearing them out of anything like potions or antidotes. And she couldn't really get furniture there. She could have teleported there and be there and back in two seconds, but she rather enjoyed being out for a nice walk once in a while. The fresh air, the nice breeze, she almost felt like bringing her wings up to their normal size and stretching them. Though, she was on a route that eventually led to a rather populated city, so she didn't want to freak out anyone that may have been walking by. She'd feel bad if she did that. Then again, there were also a lot of pokemon usually down this route, and while she wasn't keen on it, there was always the chance of having to fight herself. She honestly didn't like the idea, but as she reached down to her side and pulled up a single pokeball, looking at it and her usual smile fading ever so slightly. The Gastly it contained was her last actual pokemon, one she had gotten recently on a trip that had attacked her at first, but decided on following her around after she realized it just wanted to play really.. albeit it's methods were less then playful.

Her other pokemon had actually been strays or injured that she nursed back to health, So when good people came along, of course she let them leave with new owners that they were getting along with.. and there was no way she could deny them when they brought children. But it did leave her feeling just a little lonely, she made good friends with or at least tried to with all the pokemon she met, or people for that matter. So watching them leave was just a bit hard on her, but she knew it was for the best. Though, now she felt a little bad that she was doubting her Gastly's ability to keep her from having to fight herself. But she tried to push the thought aside so she could smile, though it was hard. She wanted to believe Gastly could do it on his own, but at the same time, there was the the part of her that was a realist and knew that there was always a pokemon or trainer that was better then you and your pokemon.

She enlarged the pokeball and paused for a second to see what the wind was like. IT was a very light occasional breeze, so Gastly should have been fine. She knew the pokemon didn't like strong winds since it basically would get blown away. She tossed the pokeball up in the air as she said "Come on out Gastly", the pokeball oening and gastly appearing above her, before moving down as she caught the ball again. Though, the pokemon could see she didn't have her usual smile. "Why the looong face" the pokemon said in plain as day english, before stretching its own face out and turning it to a goofy look, making Verdandi laugh a bit and brought her usual smile back. She openend her eyes though, Gastly had vanished, causing her to look in all directions. "Nothing's wrong, just was sort of lost in thought." she said, continuing to look around. The mischievous little thing was undoubtedly up to something. "You still don't suit it" Gastly's voice said from everywhere and nowhere. It had the tone you'd expect of a ghost pokemon, so most people would have run screaming, especially after she felt a tap on her shoulder and looked to see nothing there.

But to her, it was nothing, she knew exactly who it was, and while she didn't know where, she knew it was trying to scare her or at least make her jump or startle her. "You can do better then that, those little tricks don't work on me." she called out , a slight sing song tone at the end as she laughed a little once more. Knowing the mischievous little ghost type, she wandered off the actual path into the grass to see if she could get him to come out.

"Meep meep meep," a small voice sounded nearby. Some grass rustled, and a curious head popped out.

All day long the lamb-like Pokemon had been searching for food, and with no luck to follow; it seemed that perhaps everyone else had ate it all, and there was none left for her. And she was starving! In all honesty, she hadn't been planning to wonder all that far form home, however her stomach got the better of her, and she needed to find food before she had to send her siblings out for it. Therefore, she guessed that maybe one of the trainer's that always passed by had dropped something good out of their bags; a few of her friends told her that they found some strange beeping device that a trainer had dropped. They were planning on taking it to the elder to ask him what it was, but the boy had came back quickly when he realized that he had dropped it. Aw, too bad, so sad.

However, the Mareep's plans were interrupted when she found her self examining a girl and her Gastly; she honestly never really liked Ghost Pokemon for the fact that they were all creepy and never nice and just plain old freaked her out. But to tell you the truth, this girl smelled different than the normal humans that would pass by; she smelled like part Pokemon, but what kind, she really couldn't put her finger on it. Which was why she was curious enough to step all the way out of the tall grass and stare almost stupidly at the trainer passing up.

"Meep Meep Mareep Mareep Mar Mare Mareep Eep?"

<"Why you smell so funny?"> she couldn't help but ask the Pokemorph as she decided to try and keep up with her, having to chase after her retreating figure since she didn't notice her in the first place. <"I don't think I've smelled anything like you before.">

Vera had been so wrapped up in whatever ghastly's new plot to give her a jump was she hadn't realized she was being watched or followed. But when she heard a voice from behind her, she was slightly startled, since she hadn't picked up on anyone nearby. "Who's there?" she said, her hands coming up to about her neck and clasped, the girl slightly unnerved. Especially by the whole smell funny and smelled anything like her before comment. Though, that was cut quickly when Gastly started laughing at her and reappeared. "Some psychic." the pokemon said as it laughed, Vera's mouth going to a bit of a frown, border lining on almost seeming angry at the comment. But not quite. She was after all, just too nice of a person to stay angry even if she had managed to get there. She sighed as she said "Even I'm not perfect", then noticing the source of the voice.

She looked down and saw the Mareep that had been following her and smiled. "Why hello there." she said, moving closer and kneeling down in front of it. "You do realize that it's an electric type, right? or are you that BIRD-brained" the gastly said, before a fit of laughter. "Technically, yes, I am, but you forget one tiny detail about me being "bird-brained" she said, standing up and closing her eyes, focusing briefly before the white fabric at the back of the outfit flared out almost like wings, and when it settled down, a pair of wings were unfurled straight out and up, wings one would see on a pidgeot, as well as from the bottom below the outfit, since the front was shorter then the back, the tail feathers were also visible. "I can generate a rather nice gust with these" she said, a pleasant smile on her face and her eyes closed, the gastly changing the look on it's face to one of it being unnerved. "...I'll be quiet" he said, moving back and away nervously. She then turned back to the Mareep and went back to kneeling in front of it as she said "I don't usually see any of your kind around here, are you hungry?" she asked, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a little bit of food and holding it out. "I"m not surprised if something like me is unusual, to my knowledge, I'm the only person who is half pidgeot out here." she said, fully aware that even other pokemon found her unusual... Gastly had when they first met, though, now it had fun with it. Speaking of which, she turned to see it still well backed off as she said "that wasn't a threat or anything, not like I'd hurt you...", then turning back to the mareep.

"True... I don't think your even capable of hurting anything... least not without feeling bad about it... but I think I'll stay here, I know what those wings can do" the pokemon replied, scanning around for something to do. "Go figure, the ghost pokemon is scared" she said with a little laugh.

The Mareep wagged her tail happily as the trainer kneeling down and began talking to her, however cocked her head when the Ghastly made the comment. She knew that she could hurt a human, but how would she be anything less than simply normally effective against a human; like she was planning to harm her anyway, seeing as how she would get into trouble by her parents for doing anything of the sort. What she was baffled by was when the girl stood up, wings came out of her back! The little Mareep gave a small gasp and backed up instantly; she had never seen a human do that before! How strange! Instantly her head cocked to one side as she stared at the morph in confusion, even as she still chatted with her Pokemon.

<"Erm, yes please,"> the Mareep said in a startled voice when the girl asked her if she was hungry. Well, at least she wouldn't have to search for her food, today. <"Thank you,"> she mumbled as she gently took the food from the girl's hand and dropping it in front of her in order to eat it properly as the girl explained what she was.

Part Pidgeot and part human? Although she didn't know exactly what a Pidgeot was, she heard that a Pidgey could evolve into one. And from what she heard, they were fairly big. But at least she knew that she could defeat one; she might have to evolve in order to do so, but that was her goal, anyways. Finishing her food quickly as the girl commented something about her ghost type companion, the Mareep licked her lips happily as she looked back at the girl.

<"Thank you, ma'am,"> she said kindly, wagging her tail. <"But I gotta ask you something,"> she said slowly, <"If you have wings, why not just fly to where ever you're going instead of walking and going through all the trouble?">

Vera wasn't surprised by the fact that the Mareep seemed to be a little startled. Even some humans who were adamant that nothing could scare or startle them were a little startled weirded out or down right scared by her now natural appearance. But that was why she was used to such reactions, and well, she understood very well why anyone or anything reacted that way. Her appearance was technically unnatural. She was changed into this, she wasn't something that occurred in nature.

She the heard the Mareep thank her after eating and smiled happily. "your very welcome, and you can call me Vera." she replied, before she said she had to ask her something, and then asked. Vera couldn't help but laugh a little at it. The question made perfect sense, but she found it amusing that people who knew about the wings or her psychic abilities asked why she didn't fly or use teleport all the time. She knew the answer well by now. Seeing as at first she had never been able to really explain it. "Well, there are two reasons I don't just fly." she said, putting her hands on her legs as she sat there. "The main reason is that I wouldn't meet as many people and pokemon if I did that" she replied, pausing a second before saying "And the second being not many people are used to my appearance, and they get a little frightened by it.", the smile from the first part fading ever so slightly. "But then again, I've been different from others before I was made into this, so I'm used to it." she then said, bringing a hand up slightly to demonstrate as three of her empty pokeballs were immersed in a faint blue light and levitated to her palm, circling as if they were being juggled in the palm of her hand, then letting them land softly on the ground between her and the Mareep. "I'm probably the strangest human you'll meet." she said with a playful smile, making fun of herself a little.
