firstnothingXemnas sat beneath a tree outside Violet City, frowning at the three pokemon before him. Only one was officially part of his team, the bright-eyed and alert riolu a welcome addition and so far living up to expectation. The other two, a deino and a quilava, had been found in his box after he'd received an alert that spaces had actually been taken up there. They watched him expectantly. Well, the quilava did, the deino seemed mostly content to sniff in his direction and make occasional bites at its surroundings. It had taken some work to find out where they'd come from, leaving Xemnas with mixed .... feelings. He's certain they are feelings.
Vanitas had been a rough boy but potentially useful. Xehanort had seen him as a failure and useless, but Xemnas had seen much useful potential there. He hadn't had the time to put it to use. He knew the sensation of regret, and it lingered uncomfortably as he studied the boy's left-behind creatures.
"Your master is gone," he says eventually. The riolu's brief puzzlement is ended by a slight beckon; he didn't mean the little fighter's. But the other two seemed to understand, and didn't look happy. "He has through accident or design, chosen to leave you in my care. I had ... great expectations for him and what he would be capable of if given a push in the right direction. I expect the both of you to meet those same standards. I will do the best I can for you. You must do the same. If you cannot, now is the time to leave. The forests here are full of things I'm sure you'll find edible, until another master finds you."
As if homing in on the sound of his voice, the deino creeps closer before settling gingerly at his side, turning to rest its hairy head on his knee with a gusty, unhappy sigh. A few moments later the burning weasel followed, tucking against the other side as if using the once-Nobody as shelter from the faint crisp early autumn breeze and light drizzle.
Xemnas ... didn't have time for two more. That put his team to eight, two too many. More than he'd planned. He could use a dragon and fire type.. but there were no places open. He'd need to think.

I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone leaving this world left behind one or two of their creatures with me. I have been intending to find a fire-type for some time now, it seems I will not have to. Likewise the small blind and very bite-happy dragon it came with.
For those who knew the boy, Vanitas is no longer present. Perhaps he will return one day.
It seems that soon there will be a .. 'haunted house' opening. I suggest everyone visit. After all, it isn't every day of the year that one may run around in costume and terrify people without being arrested for disturbing the peace. It should be exciting. Do you suppose they can truly induce fear in anyone who visits?

Date: 2013-10-06 08:47 pm (UTC)That depends on which you have, or which you like? Do you have a favored type of pokemon?
