The spars green sea-grass waved in the wind, rustling and whispering, as the invisible force drove white clouds across the azure sky. Furious waves broke upon the rocks not far away, their dyeing roars could be heard by the man as he sat, sapphire pools intently watching a line of ants as they want along their way. Leaves, bits of plants, seeds, even other bugs larger then the small insects passed by the man's large boots as the ants carried their food to their hole. These tiny creatures were much smaller relatives to the ant pokemon many people came across, yet they were every bit as tenacious as their larger family members. It always astounded the Gijinka, how something so small carried objects ten times their size? The sheer determination and will to survive along with they way they worked with one another reminded him of a close ship crew. Together like the larger humans and their ships the ants took down prey bigger then themselves dragging them back to their home under the earth, where they would share with others.
He wondered how their home looked beneath the earth, was it a network of tunnels and passageways one sees carved out as caves by water and wind? Or was it something entirely different, an intricate structure so unlike anything the Gijinka had ever seen. Alas he would never find out, for even his smallest toe was too large to fit within the confines of the ant’s burrow. Like the depths of the ocean these tiny creature’s home deep under the earth would forever remain a mystery to the young man, only the trails carved out of the trunks of fallen trees gave him an idea as to how the ants may structure their homes. As for their social structure, that would never be solved unless, he developed a way to communicate with the insects, he had little hope of finding out anything about them; if they were capable of intelligent speech that is.
After staring at the insect for a time the lone gijinka shifting his gaze toward the sky to watch as the wind pushed the clouds along, it too seemed to be over looked by others. Like the ants humans simply went about their lives with no regard to the wind and its purpose. It carried scents, seeds, and sent the clouds filled with rain to various parts of the land, it even helped the birds soar high in the sky. There were so many simple wonders of the world that were often over looked, but all were necessary for their survival. As he watched the clouds Tray noted how the wind caused the tall grass that stubbornly grew between the rocks to sway, like the waves of the sea crashing toward him before the invisible force hit him, toyed with his black hair, tugging at his cloths before playfully scampering away to play with the tops of real waves, or the leaves in the treetops farther away.
Just up river from above where the waves crashed against the rocky shore, Tray could see the endless expanse of the ocean as it sparkled and wavered in the bright sunlight. The smell of salt and the spray of the sea could easily reach him here, providing a pleasant relief from the glare of the hot sun. His dark colored jacket absorbing much of its heat, a normally pleasant experience, when one hadn't hiked for several hours through hard and dangerous terrain in order to reach this spot where he now sat. Looking down at a piece of grass he had picked recently and had been playing with the man twirled the thin green blade, it was a stark contrast to the knife blades that rested on his hip yet the man preferred the peaceful grass over the tools many used for violence. As he sat there leaning against the large stone lost in his pondering, Tray became aware of a sound that was far out of place, the sound of something moving through over the rocks, shifting tiny stones out of place as it did so; who or what ever it was it was approaching rather fast. Shrugging the man tossed the blade of grass back among its companions as he rested his right hand lazily on bow he had placed next to him, his head cocked to the left his eyes scanning the area where the sound was coming from.

After gathering some minions in the form of Pokémon, Brian had wanted to test them out while also finding other humans to join his cause, but there were just too many places for him to choose from. In order to keep him from having to choose, the young white haired man had let out his Skarmory to guide the way, which would be very interesting for him as the metal bird didn’t particularly like him all that much. In fact, it had taken several hours to convince the bird that it was in everyone’s best interest if the bird did what Brian said.
When they had started out, his Pokémon flew around in a circle for a little bit before heading off in one direction. ”I wonder what I shall find today. Maybe something that can lurk in the shadows, so that I can instigate my ultimate plan to cause chaos.” After a couple hours of walking, Brian was sure that he could hear the sound of water slamming against rocks, which meant that they were probably close to the ocean. It was definitely a good sign for him as the ocean was a symbol of the planet’s chaotic nature as the ocean was something that was completely uncontrollable.
It was around this point in his thinking that his Skarmory landed in front of him with a look on his face that said he had found something, which meant that it was time to get to work. ”Don’t just stand there looking satisfied. Lead me to what you have found so I can see if it can be any used to us,” Brian said as he pressed onward. The bird took off without so much as a screech as he gained altitude to accurately pinpoint what it was he had been looking at.
Brian had to move some rocks around to keep moving forward, but it wasn’t that hard to do. As he finally got to the point that he could see who his bird had found, Brian could see that the person was armed, but he was no worried. From where his Skarmory was, Brian was sure that the Steel Pokémon could swoop down and protect him at a moment’s notice, so he walked towards the individual with his hands in the pockets of his trench coat. ”Hello there. Are you enjoying the fresh air of the ocean?”
It was a simple question that was meant to gauge whether or not the person was going to start the fight or would Brian have to. In truth, Brian wouldn’t mind if someone else started it as that meant they preferred conflict, which was another chaotic conflict. He would have to just wait and see.

WILD ARCHEN APPEARED! [/style] Archen || Male || Defeatist || Rock/Flying || Level 3 Quick Attack || Leer || Wing AttackThe Archen was one happy bird, one very happy bird indeed. If it wouldn't be a fire hazard to his safety, he would be cackling his little head off, flapping and fluttering his magnificent feathers to show off his plumage so that everyone around would know not to mess with him. Not that he really thought they would considering that he was currently perched on the back of a large Scyther as the large Bug-type flew them about the area along the seashore, pausing only every now and again so that he could dive off the other Pokemon's back to scoop up some morsel of food or other, the intimidating Pokemon being enough to scare off all the other Pokemon in the area. He felt confident enough to not protest when the Scyther took the two of them closer to a pair of humans. Let them stare at him! Let them marvel at his prowess and know that they could never hope to match his cunning, not as long as he had the Scyther on his side! He tapped his foot, his command for the Pokemon to wait there, and then he dipped his head, beginning to preen. He wasn't going to move just because they were here. They could do whatever they wanted, he was here and he had his Scyther to protect him, and if they wanted to try to pick a fight, let them! They'd just get themselves scratched up by his bodyguard's scythes!
WILD SCYTHER APPEARED! [/style] Scyther || Female || Techinician || Bug/Flying || Level 3 Vacuum Wave || Quick Attack || Leer The Scyther had never experienced anything greater in her entire life than serving her liege-lord. The little bird had sauntered into her life so proudly, the sun gleaming off his feathers, and then as soon as he had set eye on her, she knew that it was her purpose in life to serve him. That was why she had followed him in secret for a little while before he had finally commanded her to come out and to be his servant, and she had complied, flying him about the beach ever since and chasing off anyone that tried to threaten the little ruler with her claws. Right now, she was flying over to the little inlet where they had found plenty of food before, and then when she saw the two humans, she faltered for a moment, uncertain. Did she want to risk such humans possibly being dangerous? They might try to hurt her master! But her master wanted her to go down, so she did, dipping down. Her master was right, they probably had some treats for them! Landing, she quietly stood there obediently when her master tapped on her back in his command to tell her to stay still, her eyes widening as she tried to do the very best impression of a tree that she could. She would make her master so proud of her! She would!

Tray watched as the large steel pokemon flew over him before turning into a lazy circling pattern above them as its trainer entered the scene his white hair and dark eyes attracting the man's attention. Instantly he sized up the situation, he would not be able attack this person with the Skarmory flying over their head he wasn't sure if the man had any more pokemon which he could release if he did prove to be an enemy, he would be outnumbered. So instead of seeking the violent road he opted for his usual act, raising a hand in greeting he grinned. "Nothing like the fresh sea air to clear the mind and bring rest to the soul." He replied, his tone friendly and conversational. "The names Tray, what brings you all the way out here friend?" Another sound alerted Tray to another approaching body, he turned to take in the odd sight of the bird pokemon sitting perched atop his deadly mount. He noted the smug glint in the Archen's eyes, obviously believing that he was safe atop the Syther who seemed more uncertain about the situation. His grin widened as he gave a bow toward the pokemon. "Greetings my friends, it is quite a pleasant surprise to be approached by two very striking pokemon such as yourselves. I am Tray Daniels, humble hunter and explorer."
Straightening from his bow his smile never wavering as he moved into a better position that allowed him to watch both parties with ease. He had taken his hand off of his bow after slinging it over his shoulder where he could easily shrug it of and use if it proved necessary. Although at such close range he'd only be able to get off one shot before either party feel upon him and the metal bird above proved to be a dangerous enemy, his weapon would only be useful if he could find a kink in his armor and hit it. Not much a problem if it weren't for the fact that he had never hunted a Skarmory and there fore knew nothing about their armor, the few seconds it would take for him to spot the weaknesses could cost him his life. No, he'd remain the way he was acting a like a carefree fool up to the very last second, unlike the young man who had approached him he was not a lover of chaos; but a bringer of peace.

OOC: I apologize if this sounds terrible, school has given me little time to myself so I'm rushing through replies.

It was a rather odd thing to witness someone greeting him as if there was no danger in the world, but Brian supposed that some people chose to believe that life was filled with nice encounters. ”I suppose you could say that destiny is my reason for being out here. A destiny that will change the world as you know it,” said Brian. In his mind, it would definitely be a game changer if everything went according to his plans, but the thing about true chaos was that nothing could ever go as planned. For instance, the arrival of the two Pokemon was not something that Brian had considered when he had approached Tray, but upon seeing the pair the young man could see how they could be of some used to him.
Stymph wasn’t sure what he was going to have to do today, but he definitely thought that he should dive down rather quickly and take out the green bug before the Scyther was able to lash out with those arms. Flapping his metallic wings, the Skarmory gained altitude so that when he was ordered to attack, which was almost certain given Brian’s disposition, he would be able to come down like a bullet.
”Mr. Daniels is correct. It truly is a pleasant and fortunate surprise that the two of you have happened upon us,” said the young man as he glanced up at his Skarmory. In his mind, none of them would see what he had in mind coming, and even if they did then it would just make seeing how they dealt with it even more interesting for him. ”Of course, it is only fortunate for someone like me,” said Brian as he gave a thumbs up. With that being done, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
The thumbs up only meant one thing in the Skarmory’s mind, and that was the thing that he had been waiting for. With a loud screech escaping him, Stymph went into a dive with his sights set on the Scyther who looked like the greatest threat, and it was just time to find out whether or not the blades of a Scyther were as sharp as his metal beak. Either way, this was going to be one epic Peck.

WILD ARCHEN APPEARED! [/style] Archen || Male || Defeatist || Rock/Flying || Level 3 Quick Attack || Leer || Wing AttackThe Archen was many things, but naive was not one of them. He may have been rather pleased with the fact that one of the creatures was bowing to him, but he didn't trust the other. He didn't trust that smile, and as soon as he heard the word 'hunter', his beady eyes narrowed, immediately knowing that this human was nothing but trouble. He knew what a hunter was: they killed other Pokemon, Pokemon like him, and they didn't even think twice about it. He could tell that the human was trying to pretend that he was nice, nonthreatening and in no way dangerous to them, but the fossil Pokemon hadn't been born yesterday. He had been around long enough to tell that the other was obviously up to no trouble, and he wasn't about to wait up for something bad to happen. Screeching defiantly, he hopped up into the air fluttering his wings in the wind to make sure that his muscles were properly stretched out. Confident in his own skills, he flicked his tail feathers up in an insult and a challenge, ready to attack at the slightest provocation. He had his bodyguard at his back and his own abilities ready, what more could he possibly need to fight?
WILD SCYTHER APPEARED! [/style] Scyther || Female || Techinician || Bug/Flying || Level 3 Vacuum Wave || Quick Attack || Leer The Scyther was ill at ease with all the people around her liege-lord. Even though she was trying her best to impersonate a tree, her wings couldn't help but quiver slightly with her agitation, eyes darting around the scene trying to find where the first threat would come. Suddenly, a thought hit her. A terrible, horrible, no-good, very-bad thought. What if the attack came from the air? Then she wouldn't be able to scoop up her liege-lord and fly off with him on her back while the assassin was left on the ground to wail in frustration at the young Bug-type's quick action in saving her liege-lord. The thought niggled at her, chewing away at her patience and her confidence until she couldn't help it. She craned her head back, looking around until she laid eyes on the Skarmory just as the large metal bird let out a war cry, diving towards her. Immediately her instincts kicked in, darting her out of the way as quickly as her kind was known for, and she quickly ran through her choices of moves, trying to figure out the best one to use. Her scythes hit against each other, wings quivering behind her, and after a moment's thought, she lunged towards the Pokemon that had attacked her, launching a Vacuum Wave aimed right for the other Pokemon's head.
