The ball wobbled more and more-- but suddenly, it popped open as Gibble soon reappeared, unable to be captured that moment. "GIBBLE!!" it cried, and turned back to Helios in challenge. A vain of annoyance showed on the black charizard's scarred face, showing the little dragon was starting to get on his nerves. [break][break] "Heh, looks like this one got moxie. He'd make a great fighter. Come on Helios, he wants a fight so just give him one! " Draco encouraged. [break][break] Willing to take this more seriously- Helios soon inhaled and threw a powerful flamethrower attack again. [break][break] However this time-- Gibble dove under into the soil to evade-- [break][break]-- and the flame thrower hit something else in the tall grass. A shrill cry came out as soon it revealed a Scither of all things! Now angry, it too joined in the chaotic fray that came with trying to catch the annoying gibble. [break][break] Draco soon opened his pokeball-- and sneered. "Okay, not a bad one either," he said and soon threw the Pokeball as the flamethrower did good damage to the Scither already. He threw the ball and caught the Scyther -- so he could hope to focus on the strong-willed, stubborn Gibble. [break][break] As he caught the big Scyther-- Gibble soon buried up behind Helios, offering a proud cry of his return. Helios growled-- and did something rather humiliating...[break][break] He sat on him. "GIBBLE!!" Gibble cried, soon pinned by the dragon's big rear and tail. [break][break] "Okay... now that is just wrong..." Draco replied. Ceto also leered at Helios for being crass and rude. [break][break]

It was then there was a rustling in the grass and ground. Curious , both Draco and Helios stopped as it grew more and more agitated. Helios sensed it could be a worthy opponent. Someone willing to put up a good fight. Then...[break][break] "GIBBLE!!" Pouncing out from the grass, was a small little dragon-like creature, with a pale blue body and looked like a tiny shark. It had beedy eyes-- but a tiny body as it growled at them. [break][break] Helios just looked down at it-- no bigger than his knee. An almost 'disgusted' or 'disappointed' look crossed his features. Despite that, The Gibble seemed to try and 'act' tough. [break][break] Helios just yawned in its presence, again not seeming it as a worthy opponent. [break][break] Despite being brushed off-- Gibble snarled, eager to fight. [break][break] Draco soon found it amusing. "Heh. Well this little fellow has some energy. Let's take this one, Helios," Draco said. Helios looked to his trainer, almost annoyed at him to for wanting to fight such a weak opponent. [break][break] However, hearing Draco's challenge, Gibble soon started the attack. He soon lunged for Helios, his little arms spinning in circles to try and attack with all its might and... [break][break] "Gibble-gibble-gibble-gibble-gibble-gibble-gibble--" Helios didn't even move as soon he nearly lifted his foot and placed it atop Gibble's tiny body, the little dragon unable to advance as it swung its arms at nothing. [break][break] This time, like an insult, Helios just yawned again, using a claw to cover his mouth. [break][break] [break][break] Gibble was clearly furious to not be taken seriously, soon growing veins along his head. It only made him spin his arms faster. [break][break] Draco tried not to laugh, as Ceto gave an angry coo at Helios-- finding his conduct rather mean spirited. "Helios, come on. At least do something so I can catch it," Draco requested. [break][break] With a sigh, the black Charizard soon inhaled, and let out a very strong and powerful flame thrower attack! [break][break] The Gibble was washed over by the fire, which didn't really char him, but did weaken him a bit-- all the while still under Helios' foot. [break][break] Finally to add insult to injury, Charizard kicked the Gibble, as if he was a football. [break][break] "Heh! You're mine, Gibble!" Draco shouted as he took a Pokeball and threw it to catch the Gibble. [break][break]The ball soon snagged Gibble and caught him in its light. It soon glowed and wabbled wildly-- showing the little guy was indeed putting up a fight. But soon enough it would be caught. [break][break] Or so he hoped... [break][break]

Draco's looking around didn't seem to encourage much interest as he saw only a small handful of pokemon, ranging from some flying off to some swimming. Nothing that grasped his interest. [break][break] The yawn of Helios made him chuckle as the Charizard was itching for some excitement or challenge. They would of been better off perhaps raiding a league headquarters or something. Still the day was young, so Draco kept a look out. [break][break]

Being an uninvited guest was good for Draco, to be on his own terms. As he walked along the beachside-- it was still hard to believe this was indoors. The 'ocean' felt natural, even though it did end in a glassy end, but the waves and wash just felt real enough. His feet got wet with the lapping waves as he soon saw a Dhelmhise sticking out of the sand. It wasn't in any trouble so Draco left it be. [break][break] Ceto cooed as it felt the ocean breeze, enjoying the view and sensations from where she wrapped around Draco. All the while, Helios continued to march forward, looking over the grassy marsh and sandy beach. He was more itching for a fight, than just peaceful scenery...[break][break]

Clearly the woman and Draco were not as compatable-- like fire and ice. Which one was which, was naturally up in the air. She didnt' seem to care for Ceto either. Of course, Draco didn't care one bit about her opinion but followed her lead. She was the leader on this mission after all. [break][break] They soon approached the array of crystals and came across the one that the woman, Calpurnia wanted. It sparkled with energy-- which made Ceto light up with interest. [break][break] As they approached, the energy crackled and Cal's words soon reached Draco in warning. [break][break] The shot of an attack made Draco back up, realizing there were other Pokemon around the crystal. And this one, was none other than a big necked giant dragon of some sort. [break][break] Ceto gave a cry and coiled back around Draco's neck, worried. [break][break] "Figures..." Draco sighed as he soon reached to take out one of his own Pokemon. Drawing a ball he got ready to call it out, having an idea who to pick. "Dracozolt!" [break][break] Tossing the ball forward, it burst opened to reveal the electrified, half-dragon creature that let out a cry of electricity and energy. It was indeed an odd looking one. Compared to Raging Bolt, it looked like a hatchling of a dragon-- but its crackle of electricity showed it had similarities with it. [break][break] Whatever Raging Bolt had, Dracozolt could take it and dish out some damage of his own. The electric-lizard snarled back, while Draco tried to make his way for the crystal. [break][break]

The Safari Zone was an unusual place for Draco to be. He never cared for going into urban areas, as he loved the wild. So going into a preserve, made by people that catered to rare pokemon was indeed an ironic way for him to act. But he heard about the special Pokemon that live in there... [break][break] So he decided to break in. Helios, his black Charizard, flew down through the dome, and they snuck in-- but sooner or later they would be found out so they couldn't stay long. [break][break] Draco looked to find this area was built differently, being some kind of beach and marshlands. Clearly catered to more watery tye pokemon. Which suited him just find. Despite his love for dragons, Draco always leaned to the water types. [break][break] With Helios at his side, he looked around at the watery atmosphere, finding it oddly quiet and peaceful, even for a man-made attraction. [break][break] Ceto roused from her coiled position around his neck to see, looking at the wide open watery area, and patches of green. She gave a small whistle of happiness, loving it. Even the breeze felt fresh. [break][break] "Come on, let's see what kind of trouble we can stir up," Draco said playfully as he and Helios walked into the safari zone... before they could be discovered. [break][break]

Among the ship ruins, the mysterious figure in his cloak wandered around the submerged wreckage. Dawned in his raggedy cloak and rural appearance-- he looked like some kind of Ronin who had seen some shit-- and would smack down anyone stupid enough to cross him. He even had the trope of one-- given the silly looking 'scarf' wrapped around his neck. Every so often, the 'scarf' would move-- revealing it to be a little Dratini who made his home there. [break][break] Further keeping him company, was his faithful companion -- the black Charizard Helios. The dragon like pokemon flew overhead, keeping an eye out. [break][break] However as soon as they entered the shipweckage, seval of those bugs began to scurry out, lured in by the presence of 'easy prey'. [break][break] Ceto around Draco's neck tightened a touch, scared by the big bugs as big as her. [break][break] Draco soon removed his hood and glared at them. [break][break]"Dragon Breath," he spoke. [break][break] From above, Helios roared-- launching a blast of violet flame! The flame, even for water types, was hot and dangerous as it shot across the tattered deck. Scurrying the swarm away. [break][break] However... it only brought out a bigger threat. [break][break] Heavy steps soon sounded as through the wreckage came another foe. An actual Golispod-- marching on 4 legs, armored and dangerous. It gave several clicks as it lurched forward, like an alien in a horror movie. [break][break] Draco smirked, impressed by the beast and intended to catch it. [break][break] He took out a Pokeball, and held it close. "Fang!" he called and threw the ball forward. [break][break] The ball busted open and out came his Haxorus with a big roar. The dragon didn't even hesitate as it charged to the Golisopod, claws and horns poised. The two clash as they fought-- and draco watching on without flinching. He soon saw that with a powerful OUTRAGE, Fang sent the Golisopod flying, knocked over by her sheer strength. [break][break] With any luck, the seemingly reclusive, mysterious dragon trainer could obtain this beast as his own... [break][break] [break][break]

"An adventurer, huh?" Draco said aloud, curious by the term. He didn't know it. He didn't even think much of it-- but the way she lived was inspiring. She didn't care about anyone else but her own persuits. [break][break] He admired her way of life. Better than him, who had spent most of his in caves and just surviving to avoid human contact. [break][break] As he thought, Draco now was fending off an another annoying pest-- a strange pokemon in the shape of a strange glyph. It was a curious one. on a whim, as Helios chased it with Dragon Claw-- Draco shot a Pokeball at it. The seemingly odd little thing was hit and fell right into it, captured inside. [break][break] Draco paused as he looked to his new collection of dragons and other Pokemon. They all seemed to be strong, have merit and possess great strength. [break][break] But he himself had to grow as he pondered in silence. [break][break] Hearing her words, Draco couldn't help but ponder. "Is there something exact you wanted to find? " He asked. [break][break] But for now-- they had explored much of the cave. They began to turn back, with Helios and the others close behind him.

Dragons were a thing that Draco had learned to live with. Literally. He caught the ones he had, but he also got along well with them. He lived the same life they did for over 10 years, but in the end he was human. He knew it, but didn't remember what it was like to live as human. ANd here he met a girl who wanted to be a Pokemon herself? It was... inspiring. As she talked about knowing what Pokemon wanted, they were greeted by another Pokemon. A Dragonare! [break][break] Without any hesitation, the beautiful and elegant dragon came right up to Draco. Curious by his appearance and the dragon-child aura he gave off, the Dragonair soon wrapped herself around him, as if to give him an affectionate squeeze. [break][break] Draco laughed at this, pleased by meeting another fellow dragon. "Heh, looks like Ceto has some competition. " Draco teased, causing the Dratini wrapped around his neck to give a bark at the Dragonair of all things. [break][break] He soon found the girl's Pokemon digging in the rocks, as if to look for something. He cocked his head at that as he got to learn more about the other Pokemon with her. "What exactly are they looking for now?" he asked. [break][break]

The correction did make him feel a bit put down. Joining Rocket was not really a choice for him, and ultimately, neither was being told anything to do. Fo one's good maybe, but this took a bit of getting used to. He soon was introduced to her, saying her name was Kelpie. He regarded the woman with a acknowledged nod. "Draco," he replied back.  [break][break] Draco nodded to her in due respect-- and soon his scarf seemed to move. The blue 'cloth' turned out to be a Dratini, Ceto , who poked her head out and yawned in a cute manner. It was odd for a stuffy tough-ass like Draco to be in the company of a cute little Dratini, but Ceto was a pokemon he was intended to care for. [break][break] Regarding the crystals, she made the 'sweet' attempt of flattery to retrieve the shards of crystals in this cavern. Draco gave a reluctant sigh and shake of his head-- but soon began to lumber towards the chamber to find these crystals. [break][break] There was a vast variety of them, different sizes, different colors. They were quite beautiful and nothing like the rock formations he seen in the caves like in Meteor Falls. he was baffled by them. Breaking off a shard would be easy but -- which one? Draco paused as he looked around, and he could feel the energy crackle off them. [break][break] He turned to Kelpie, puzzled. "These crystals? What are they?" Draco asked, while Ceto on his shoulder looked around. [break][break]

The situation was getting silly for Draco. This superhero of a dolphin wouldn't stop. It was either trying to pick a fight or really wanted to prove his worth to Draco. Even now, Helios was starting to show some respect to the so-called hero. It was so persistant, it was getting ridiculous.  [break][break] To make matters even stranger-- a new Pokemon showed up, this time a Kingdra, and joined in the fight too! Draco face-palmed his eyes. "This is getting on my last nerves. Alright, I'll fight and catch them all if that is what they want!" Draco growled.  [break][break] Draco and Helios too shared the same unnerved notion and soon got to work. "Helios-- Dragon Claw and Dragon Breath! " he shouted, causing Helios to dive in. He struck hard into the Dolphin hero, and used his breath on the Kingdra nearby. While the hero was more tenacious than believed, Draco took this chance and took out two more Pokeballs, one for each foe.  [break][break] " Got you!" he shouted and with it, threw both balls. The two hit their targets square in the heads-- and vanished inside. After a few seconds, the balls sealed shut, the two contained inside. [break][break] Draco slowly picked up the new pokemon, and soon felt even now the 'energy' that the Dolphin had. He was going to be a handle raising.  [break][break] Draco sighed as he turned back to Andrea Vaneau with both Pokemon in hand. "I guess... you were right," he replied shyly as he pocketed the two Pokemon he got. He soon looked to see Helios now talk to the other dragon, Salamance-- it seemed the two were getting along as well! [break][break]

The angry growl and warning of Chomper did raise concern as Draco blinked-- unsure why she was so agitated. He didn't even consciously do anything. IF anything, the growl came for Helios, whom backed away, seeing how angry it was. A sweat-drip fell from the black Charizard, unsure why it was so angry still. [break][break] The dragon users continued to move further down the cave, navigating through the debris their battle caused. They soon got clear from the destruction caused and made it out to a massive underground lake. There they could see other Pokemon there, congregating and living. Draco had never been this deep into the caves. It was quite amazing. "Damn... you were right. This place is pretty huge. I wonder just how far it goes?" Draco wondered aloud. [break][break] However-- another interruption occurred as none other than a squeak and splash emerged-- followed by a sucker-punch caused by a certain aquatic intruder. Helios grunted as the punch hit it straight in the jaw and made it tumble into a rock formation with a crash. [break][break] "Helios!" Draco cried and turned to see-- Super Paraphin reappeared! The funny-looking Dolphin flexed and stood proud as if to say " I have found you! Justice has triumphed." [break][break] A comedically angry face appeared on Draco. "NOT YOU AGAIN!!" he roared, Helios's sentiments exactly. [break][break] Helios grudgingly got up, and cast a sneer at the 'super hero'. [break][break] Draco glanced to Andrea, an annoyed look to her. "You still think we are picking on him?" he asked, commenting to her earlier statement. His tone was more sarcastic-- clearly as the heroic dolphin was not in the mood to stop. [break][break] It was then that Helios lumbered back up, now seriously pissed off. He soon let out a dragon roar-- into the air, showing how furious he was. [break][break] During that moment-- something else happened, just as Paraphin was about to attack-- another roar answered. This time a big blue dragon flew in from the ceiling of the cavern. As if to respond to Paraphin's interruption, it too released a Dragon's Breath-- cutting off the two. [break][break] Draco looked in surprise, finding the wild Salamense show itself. "Huh? What is that?" he asked, almost as impressed as if it was Helios. [break][break] The dragon soon landed besides Helios, as if offended by Paraphin's sneak attack. The new dragon cast a growl, as if coming to the Charizard's defense. The two dragon's exchanged a glance at one another. At first, it looked like a gesture of rivalry-- but soon both seemed to smirk at one another. Perhaps Helios found a kindred spirit! The two dragons then let out a unified Dragon Roar attempting to hit the Paraphin! [break][break]
