    OOC: I will, but I have no complaints so far :3


    IC: "C-Contests? No, sorry I'm stage fright," Amy laughed with a slight blush. Braixy shook with excitement at the mention if a contest and her eyes were shining like the lights around them. The idea of watching Dmitrii gamble seemed much more appealing, but for now she had to pick a booth. Looking quickly at the other booths in the area as best she could considering the crowd blocked her way. A booth with brightly colored ribbons caught her eye and she pointed in the general direction of the booth.


    "Maybe that one?" She suggested with a small smile. Braixy followed her Trainer's finger before a loud yip of joy escaped the Pokemon and it began to jump up and down. It was an accessories booth, one Braixy had quite an interest in while her trainer was much less fashionable in that sense.

    yay!


    Dmitrii pouted. “Man, that would’ve been awesome.” His eyes lit up whenever he saw their destination. “These are ADORABLE!” Searching through the wares, he found a tiny bowtie and tophat. Banette immediately tensed as he saw the items in Dmitriis hands. “Banette” was the only word Dmitrii could get out before his partner jumped off his head, trying to evade his trainers attempts to put the costume on him.


    After a few minutes of Dmitrii and Banette chasin eachother around Amy and Braixen, he got the costume on his unhappy partner. “Yeah yeah, I know you dont like it but its funny looking.” He said, seeing how annoyed Banette looked, crossing his arms. Dmitrii laughed at the sight of the tiny pokemon dressed up like some fancy human. It was honestly pretty adorable. Even knowing thay Banette would probably never wear it again, he bought the cheap costume from the booth owner.


    sorry this one is a bit shorter than usual, im just a little rushed and really anxious about somethig right now, and im hanging out with someone tomorrow so i may not be able to post terribly much then :/

    OOC: It's totally cool :3 I hope you have lots of fun with the someone!


    IC: Amy giggled at their antics as she tried to hide her laughter for Banette's sake. Braixy ignored them as she looked over the wares with a fine eye until she huffed and crossed her arms. None of the items caught her eye until her trainer finally looked at the items offered. Amy made sure to avoid the running two as she looked over the items until a bright ribbon caught her eye, "what about this?" She asked Braixy. The Pokemon frowned at the object and offered her trainer a glare, "please?" She tried and the Pokemon frowned before snatching the item from Amy's pale hands. It took only a moment for the Pokemon to tie it neatly around her neck in an elegant bow just to humor her trainer.


    "So cute," Amy approved mildly with a large smile as Braixy huffed her annoyance. In a quick tug the Pokemon had the bow off and back in Amy's hands as she refused to look at her trainer. Braixy hadn't liked the bow for herself, but for another member of Amy's team. The smiling brunette paid for the ribbon and safely deposited it in her pocket for safe keeping, "Banette, I'm sorry to say this but you did look cute," She admitted to the ghost-type.

    thanks, i think i will


    Banette grumbled and swatted away Amy with his hand as he took off the hat and bowtie. The hat was made to fold up for travel purposes, so they were easily tucked away in his trainers bag before he was returned to the top of his head as usual. “Once you find a pokemon youre interested in, I’m sure you’ll wear it for them.” Banette blushed before smacking Dmitrii’s forehead once again. A few more and the shape may stay there for the rest of the night.


    An old couple walked by them, and the woman had said to her husband “They remind me of us when we were young. Don’t they, dear?” He gave a slight chuckle and they walked away. Dmitrii turned as red as a beet. “Nonono its not like that! We’re just friends!” He said, trying to find where they had went, before accepting the fate that he would never be able to clarify their situation. He gave a nervous laugh before changing the subject. “U-Uh, it seems that the contest is starting soon. Would you like to watch it?”

    "I'm glad we're friends, I mean, yeah, we just met today, but I still think it's awesome," Amy blinked as Dmitrii's sudden panic made her step back in fright. She hadn't heard what the old couple had said so his outburst seemed completely unfounded. His face was red too and she thought he might have gotten overheated sincek all he had to drink was coffee. Braixy's mood shifted again and she let out a shrill purr-like noise of delight at the thought while Amy remained oblivious.


    "I'd love too, though maybe you should get some water first?" She suggested gently. Braixy was not helping the situation as she cheerfully danced happily around her calm trainer. Of course, Braixy was also excited for the contest which also fueled her happy jumping.

    Dmitrii sighed. “Sorry about that. I was just trying to tell that old lady shes wrong.” Banette snickered at his trainers antics. “Oh shut up Banette.” He grinned before whispering into Banettes ear. “I know you have a thing for Amy’s Braixen, ya know.” Banette stopped snickering immediately as he blushed as red as his trainer had been a few munutes ago. “Yeah, thats what I thought.” Dmitrii said, crossing his arms.


    “I’m fine, don’t worry about me.” Dmitrii pulled a metallic water bottle out from his backpack to show her, before taking a swig from it and placing it back into the outer pocket of said garment. He ran a hand through his waist long hair before taking a hairband from his wrist and tying it in a ponytail at the nape of his neck, so to not disturb his sassy partner. Taking out the festival pamphlet, he scratched his forehead. “Well, its about to start, so lets go.” The crowd gradually thickened, as they got closer and closer to the contest. “It’s a shame that you havw stage fright, I think Braixen and you would be wonderful performers.” He said as they sat down in some haybales in front of the makeshift outdoor performance stage.


    poor Banette, not realizing that braixy has a crush on one of amys other pokemon lol. and also how do you want to roleplay the performance? go through everything, tiny descriptions? or just cut to the end? or maybe something else, its up to you

    OOC: Crush? No. Irony at it's absolute best? You better believe it! Hmm... Maybe skip to the end this time and make up details as we go


    IC: Braixy shook with excitement as they sat on the hay and looked ready to jump straight up like a loaded spring. Amy sat by Dmitrii with a smile and Braixy sat on his other side to be next to Banette. Amy tugged her jacket tighter around her waist as not to loose it, "I agree, Braixy loves to dance," She hummed. The fire-type had her eyes trained on the stage as the dancers came out onto the make-shift stage. It was almost as if Braixy was a completely different Pokemon as a serious look over took the cheerful Braixy. It was a girl and her Sylveon, both colored with pale pink so it was easy to promise it'd be a very flashy show. In fact, it started off with an explosion of sparkles that eve rivaled the sun in intensity.


    "I can't... I can't see..." Amy mumbled to her companion after the show had ended and the crowd stumbled off. She rubbed her eyes in order to rid herself of the black spots, but nothing she did worked to rid herself of the menaces. Braixy still stared intensely at the empty stage with tears in her wide eyes as if she hadn't blinked once during the extreme light show. Amy rubbed her eyes once more in futility before turning to Dmitrii, "can you?"

    lmao, and alright


    Dmitrii blinked rapidly to try and ease the pain of the bright lights. “No, not really.” He laughed.


    —————end of show—————


    “Wow! That was great!” Dmitrii excitedly proclaimed; Jumping up and down, and jostling an annoyed Banette. “I LOVED the part when the Obamasnow used a weak blizzard, RIGHT as the sun was going down, so you could see allllll the tiny flakes!” Dmitrii cracked his knuckles. “But now its time for poker.” He gave a mischievious grin. “What do you think Banette? Should we try and make 15000 Pokedollars or should we go higher?” Banette motioned to the sky with his tiny hands. “Higher it is!” Dmitrii practically ran circles around Amy as they made theirbway to a janky looking table with some shady figures. He sat down in one of the vacant seats, and patted on an adjacent seat for Amy to sit down on. They quickly dealed him a hand after telling him the game, and the game was on. Every once in a while, before Dmitrii won it big, he would scratch his head. Unbeknownst to the other players, he swapped a card with one Banette had hidden in his tiny hand. Dmitrii made a rather large bet, before nearly everyone else copied him. As he set down his cards, he laughed. The other players looked angry as he raked in about 10,000P. “Sorry fellas, you just gotta pay the bills sometimes, ya know? He grinned, before they were deslt another hand. Repeating the process twice more - after waiting a little while, of course- he had raked in a total sum of about 25000P. He wore the biggest grin as his wallet grew three sizes larger.


    Suddenly, two of the players stood up, and walked around the table to his side. “You’re a good card player.” One of them said, sticking his face a little too near Banette for comfort. “But I know youre cheating!” He reached for a wide-eyed Banette, before Dmitrii elbowed him in the stomach, stoop up, and kicked him into his friend. “Sorry I dragged you into this, Amy.” Dmitrii slipped a piece of paper into Amy’s hand, containing his phone number before sprinting off. “GET HIM!” One of the card players screamed, before everyone else at the table started chasing him out of sight.


    so im kinda angry at dmitrii for chesting right now so i have an idea i think we should do; what if we have the thugs catch up to him and like beat the shit out of him till hes unconscious? then it can kinda be bonding like we said and he’ll wake up in the morning in some weird alleyway, and they have to find eachother or something? because drama makes it easier to write big posts lol


    or we could just have him escape and they meet up in like an hour on skyarrow bridge XD

    OOC: It's all good :3 and I like the idea with Dmitrii, go about it either way since both will be awesome. I also agree that it was bad on Dmitrii's part, especially with the fact that Banette get's dragged into all of it as well.


    IC: Amy was grateful when they went into the darker gambling tent and gladly sat beside Dmitrii at the table. Braixy had returned to her Pokeball due to the fact she didn't blink at all during the performances and would have been a hazard while walking around the area. The brunette leaned against the table as the car-game started and she watched through rapidly blinking eyes as she still tried to rid herself of the black spots. She didn't see Dmitrii cheat, nor did she understand what was happening with the card game as the cards moved too fast for her to understand. The game had gone on longer than she had expected and eventually the black spots had gone away, but by them it was a little too late for this revelation as she noticed all the rather angry looks around the table aimed at Dmitrii and poor Banette. She felt herself shrink in her seat as the glares got angrier the more of the winnings her companion put in his wallet. Everything in her was telling her this was wrong, and for once she was right.


    When the card players stood up to confront him she stood up as well to defend him, "he didn-" But then the violence broke out. Banette came close to being attacked just before Dmitrii promptly kicked the other card player back before handing her the paper. She reached her hand out to stop him as he ran and the words caught in her throat, but she was one second too late. She gripped the paper like a life-line as the other members of the tent rushed out after black-haired friend. Once she was alone she let out a shaky breath before making her way out of the tent. It was dark out now and the festival had kicked into it's nighttime festivities, but she seemed oblivious to it all as she made her way out of the crowd. She walked by herself among the dark streets until she reached the Pokemon Center where they kindly offered her a room to stay as she could be classified as a trainer. It wasn't until she sat down that she slowly opened the crumpled paper gripped tightly in her fists to see what it was he left her. She was scared, that was easy to guess, but she was more worried about Dmitrii and Banette to let it consume her.

    alrighty lets do this lol, and im going to have dmitrii break his dominant arm cuz he deserves it lol


    Dmitrii ran throughout the city as the angry gamblers chased him. But one wrong turn caused him a whole lot of trouble - it was a dead end. “H-Hey, we can talk about this, right guys?” Seeing no change in their demeanor, Dmitrii took his partner off of his head and cradled him in his arms, as to protect him from the inevitable blows.


    Faster than he could react, the largest of the men grabbed his shirt and pushed him against the wall, ripping it in the process. He then punched him in the nose, and kicked him in the side, sending him to his knees. Then man then stepped on his back, forcing his face into the dirty city concrete before kicking him in the arm multiple times. Dmitrii winced as he heard a crack. The other two men joined in kicking him, and Dmitrii wrapped his arms tighter around Banette as he tried to wiggle out of his arms to try and protect his trainer. Dmitrii didn’t let him out, though. He didn’t want him getting hurt.


    Soon, Dmitrii lost consciousness, and the angry gamblers pillaged his bookbag and wallet, taking everything that seemed to be of value. The next morning, Dmitrii would wake up to a luckily unharmed Banette shaking him. “Wha...What hapened?” He looked around, seeig his broken into backpack and wallet on the ground. He shuddered as the memories it him like a tin of bricks. “I’m sorry, Banette.” He rubbed his eye, before being tackled by Banette in an upset embrace. He returned the embrace, before trying to stand himself up. He winced whenever he tried to use his left arm to lift himself up. “That didn’t feel too good.” He dryly stated. Eventually, he was able to stand up and get his reposses his possesions. He didnt even check his wallet, as he knew it would be empty. Putting Banette back on his head with his good arm, before slowly making his way to the pokemon center. He looked like sh*t, if youre being blunt. His hair was messed up, his clothes ripped, and bruises all over. It was maybe eight in the morning? He wasnt sure. The first thing on Dmitrii’s agenda was to go to the pokemon center so he knew for sure that Banette was okay.


    After an extensive, painful, and confusing journey for the probably concussed Dmitrii, he made it through the doors of the pokemon center. The Nurse Joy on duty immediately rushed to him. “Are you okay!? What happened!?” Dnitrii took Banette off his head and held him out to Nurse Joy gently. “Just please make sure hes okay, please.” Nurse Joy angrily responded with “Of course I will! But you’re coming too, young man!” Dmitrii shrunk down under the fierce of the normally sweet lady. “Yes mam..”

    OOC; Ouchie ouchie ouchie! I hope nurse joy has morphine Xo poor lefty


    IC: Braixy had recovered during the night and happened to be out in the main area when Dmitrii wandered in with multiple injuries and his broken arm. Braixy was glad Banette was alright, but the fire-type looked stunned as her jaw hung open and her orange eyes wide with fear. In almost an instant the yellow tail was disappearing down the hallway as Braixy nearly burst down the door to Amy's temporary room. The girl had been sitting on the bed eating a pastry that she had gone out to get earlier since she needed some form of breakfast when her Pokemon had burst in. She barely had time to comprehend what was happening when the fire-type tackled her to the bed yipping in comprehensibly with her pupils shrunken to pinholes and her arms moving as if she were rabid. Amy could barely get her Pokemon to calm down long enough to at least move her arms in a manner she could understand. Minutes passed and the room had gone silent as Braixy explained in gestures that Amy could understand as the Pokemon's tail lashed anxiously.


    "What?!"


    It was almost like a bullet had been fired with how fast Amy dashed out of the room provided to her. Her sneakers slid on the tile as she tried to turn quickly and as a result her body slammed into the wall, but that wasn't enough to stop her as she took off running down the hallway with Braixy basically at her heels. The trainer had the note Dmitrii gave her gripped in her fist as she ran back to the main area to see if he was still there. She didn't have an idea of how the rest of the center was laid out so she couldn't look for him in the medical areas without assistance. Her heartbeat was erratic and the only think that kept her hands from shaking was the note she had crumpled in her grip, "Dmitrii?!" She called out in a panic before she stopped herself. Braixy on the other hand had no shame in calling out loudly for the little Banette while her trainer was worried about making a scene, though it was excruciating not yelling out anyway. They were friends, at least she thought they were, if he was in the condition Braixy said then... Then... She didn't want to think about it.

    haha yeah


    Dmitrii and Banettes eyes lit up as they heard their friends voices. “Dont even thik about it.” Nurse Joy said, sounding quite a bit peeved. “All you boys getting into so much trouble these days, when are you ever going to learn!” She opened a door to a room and had them sit down. There was a mirror, and Dmitrii realized he had a black eye. “Sh*t.” Nurse Jou angrily replied with “Langauge!” Dmitrii murmured a sorry before she started the examination/healin process process. “Well, Banette here is in pefect condition, other than a little hungry. But you are another story.” Dmitrii now had his arm in a sling, and had some bandages over the palms of his hands where he had scraped them earlier. “Why you don’t want a cast, I don’t know. So your arm is going to take a long time to heal. Hopefully around six to seven months. And your cut palms will be healed in a week or so.” Dmitrii mumbled out a thank you before standing up. Nurse Joy walked in front of him and the door, blocking his way. “Be careful out there, please. It breaks my heart to see you people get hurt like this.” She said sorrowfully, before stepping out of his way. Dmitrii gave a timid nod, before thanking her again and making his way to the lobby with Banette on his head. Finding Braixen and Amy, he gave a weak “Hey,” waving with his good arm with small smile on his face.

    Amy looked stunned as she looked over all Dmitrii's injuries and she shoved her hands in her pockets to hide the nervous shaking. Braixy let out a cry and dashed to Dmitrii's side, quite literally I might add, and stared up at Banette with tear filled eyes and continuously yipped out her concerns. To everyone else it would sound as if the fire-type was rabid or injured, but that wasn't the case. Unlike Braixy's concern for Banette, Amy looked hesitant to approach, but the concern was still evident, "you... Aren't wearing a cast," She noted gently above the concerned yipping of her partner. She had another question on her mind to ask, but she was still hesitant to do much of anything with her friend. She still wasn't sure of all that had happened last night with the gambling, but it had scared her to say the least and Braixy hadn't helped the process much.

    Banette jumped down from Dmitrii’s head, knowin his trainer wasnt well enough to put him down himself. In a few “Banette Banette Banette”s, the said pokemon explained to braixy what had happened, and how luckily he was fine because of Dmitrii.


    Dmitrii rubbed the back of his head with his good arm. “It’s only broken in two places, and I really hate casts.” He looked down at the ground, away from Amy’s face before continuing. “I’m really sorry about last night... I shouldn’t have dragged you into that tent knowing the risks...” he walked towards a table with Amy and co before sitting down and rummaging through their backpacks. He paused for a second, giving a confused look before researching every pocket. “Where are they.” he muttered under his breath repetitively, as if he were a broken record of sorts. He kicked his bookbag, sending it flying into the wall a few feet from them. “D*MN IT!” He screamed, holding his head in his hands. “My pills, they stole them!” He hammered his leg with his fist forcefully. After wincing atthe self inflicted pain, he continued. “I CAN’T go without them!”

    "Xeeeen!" Braixy wailed after Banette's story before pulling the Pokemon into a hug. Braixy cried tears of joy and hugged Banette like a child would a lost stuffed animal. It was heart warming, at least... It had been.


    Amy barely had time to apologize herself for not going to look for him, for leaving him alone. The second he started to breath strangely the words caught in her throat and she reached a hand towards his shoulder for comfort. Her eyes widened the moment he cursed and her hand retracted quickly as she pulled it close to herself as if she had been hurt. Braixy looked stunned as well and both the trainer and the Pokemon winced when Dmitrii... Hurt himself. Amy could barely process any of this anymore, her head was racing and her lungs were tightening in her chest, "D-Dmitrii?" She chanced his name quietly. She was afraid, she was very afraid, "what's going on?"


    That was the only phrase she could manage as she felt if she spoke anymore she'd break down. Braixy moved closer to her trainer while it looked as if Amy had frozen in her seat. Her back was ridged and her eyes were focused solely on the boy in front of her while her hand was still kept close to her chest. She wanted to shrink in her seat, but her nerves were like fire and the slightest movement burnt.

    Banette returned the hug immediately, and rubbed the Braixens back in comfort before they broke apart at Dmitriis outburst.


    Dmitrii shook in place as his hands rubbed his face. “They must have stole them... The gambers!!! They must have thought they were something that would get them high!” Dmitrii stopped rubbing his face, deciding to just keep his hands on there. “I NEED those pills! I just refilled them last week so I can’t get another bottle until atleast two weeks! Without them... Without them I see things..” Banette poked hid trainers leg, before trying to reassure him that it would be okay. but he wasnt listening. “I have schizophrenia.” He looked at Amy and pointed his finger at his eyes. “Bad schizophrenia. I’m going to start seeing things soon.... And I cant handle it!” Dmitrii brought his legs up, burying his face in them as be wrapper his arm around them. “I’m scared.....” He whispered, the hoarse sound barely audible.

    Amy swallowed any fear she had before letting out a long breath and standing up. She made her way around the table before gently kneeling down in front of his chair, "this is all happening really fast and I know you're scared, but it'll be okay," She started gently, "I'll stay with you the whole time, okay?" She tilted her head to try and meet his eyes. Braixy, despite her own fear yipped in agreement with a small smile on her face. As if her own words had reassured her a small smile grew a bit on Amy's face, "you can get through it, I know you can."

    Dmitrii tried to swallow the lump in his throat as he nodded. "I'm sorry.." He let his legs down and sighed. "I'm too much trouble." He stood up, and helped Banette up on his head with his good arm. "I need to distract myself. Is it okay with you if we walk around town?" He gave a weak smile as Banette poked his forehead playfully. "I need to try and forget about yesterday, really." Dmitrii took his wallet out of his pocket, and opened it showing the lack of contents. "But first I need to get a little bit of money out. I'll be right back." He walked over to one of the ATMs conveniently located in the Pokemon Center and took out 10,000P from his account before walking back. "I'm ready." He walked outside, and exhaled a deep breath. "I really don't like Pokemon Centers, or hospitals." He looked around, before turning to Amy. "I've dragged you into enough stuff for a lifetime. What would you like to do today?"

    Amy waited patiently with Braixen while he went to the ATM. Once they were outside she let out a loud breath and stretched her arms out as if just moments earlier she hadn't been on the verge of tears, "I like them only because my mom works at one, and before you ask, she isn't a Joy," She laughed. When Dmitrii asked where she wanted to go for the day, she had to think about it. Braixy spouted off all sorts of ideas, but none of them involved the Unova region, not that the trainers could understand her anyway. Amy stared up at the sky for a moment for some sort of idea when a small smile grew on her face, "let's just explore!" She smiled, "neither of us have ever been here before and as far as I know I'm in no rush to get anywhere."
