Relaxing in the shade [Closed]

"Clover. where are you going? ...No! Don't eat the flowers!"

A soft sigh escaped Theodore as he keeled down next to his young Deerling, gently wrapped his arms around the barrel of her waist as he picked her up - accidentally taking along the flower she was in the middle of eating. Clover squirmed in his grip not happy at all being picked up as he carried her away from the poor flowers she had decided to make her meal. While he supposed it wasn't very much of a problem for her to eat the wild flowers, he didn't want to allow her to make a habit from it - next thing he knew she would be trying to eat somebody's garden. He settled down at a tree, planting his Deerling back on the ground. He sat down next to her in the shade of a tree, watching as she finished crewing up the flower she had managed to escape with. Once she was done, she settled down next to him and laid her head on his leg. He frowned softly as he watched her, but after his eyes flickered around to see if anybody else was around, the frown gave away into a soft smile as he gently patted Clover on the head.

Lukas was carrying Gible around the campus, getting a feel for where things were. A happy growl came from the Pokemon's throat. "Do you like it out here, Gibby?" Lukas asked his partner. Gibby opened his mouth and closed his eyes, letting out a small growl. The boy knew that was a "yes" from him. Looking a little farther forward, Lukas saw another boy and a Deerling sitting underneath a tree. Walking up to them, he set down Gibby and waved. "Hey!" he said to them, watching Gibby. The Gible looked around before heading over to the two by the tree and introducing himself by waving one of his tiny arms.

"Millie no!" A voice shouted. A blue and cream colored bunny hopped across the yard stopping for a moment to taunt it's trainer by waving and then continue to hope away. Soon after a red haired trainer followed after the electric bunny. "Millie wait!" He commanded to the Minun, trying to get it to stop. Normally Millie listened to him but it seemed today was just one of those days. When the blue bunny didn't stop, the trainer turned to the Porygon 2 that was following after him. "Stop her for me please." He asked the blue and pink creature. It seemed to hesitate for a moment before zipping through the air and stopping in front of the rabbit causing her to stop long enough for Sam to scoop it up and hold onto it tightly. 

"You can't go running off like that Millie!" He scolded the rabbit in his arms, unaware of the people just a short ways away. "I worry about you sometimes.." He said as the Minun just looked up at him cutely. The porygon soon returning to it's trainer. The boy let out a sigh. "Thanks for the help Error." He said to the porygon.

The first sign that somebody was walking up to Theodore was when Clover quickly darted to her feet. His mouth opened in surprise as the Deerling hopped behind him, cowering slightly until the voice spoke up. His eyes flashed over to the new comer, before he glanced back at Clover with a slight frown before settling his eyes on the trainer with the Gible. "Hello," he said, his voice even and perhaps even a bit cold as he raised his eyebrow. "Can I help you?"

He then heard what could only be described as a squeak from Clover as she attempted to bury her head in his side, causing him to look at her once again - this time spotting another trainer that had caused his young Deerling to panic even more. He sighed as he looked at his single Pokémon. "Must you really be so timid, Clover?" he muttered in slight annoyance, only for his Deerling to attempt to bury her head even deeper into his side sending an uncomfortable wave of pain though him. He sighed even louder.

Lukas was thrown off by Theodore's response. "I uh, just noticed you and your Deerling and thought that me and Gibby could join." he responded. Gibby wandered back to the boy, noticing the Deerling's timidity. The Gible hopped back into Lukas's arms and decided that he wasn't gonna get near the shy Pokemon that was butting her way into the boy. Turning around and causing Gibby to hop onto his head, a Minun came rushing by, followed by another boy and a Porygon 2. After the Minun had been retrieved by the trainer, Lukas waved. "Seems like you've got some energetic Pokemon!" he said, chuckling.

Sam's head shot up and looked over to the to boys who noticed him, and his running after his own pokemon, that wasn't embarrassing at all. Millie blinked at the two boys and squirmed to get out of her trainer's arm, but Samuel kept a tight grip. He didn't need her running off again. Grabbing the pokeball out of his pocket, he had his Minun go back into the red and white sphere taking a slight weight off his shoulders. He wouldn't have to worry about her anymore, and she was being punished for running off. "She is the only one." He said to Lukas. "My other two listen to me fairly well. This one especially." Sam gestured to his Porygon 2 which was rocking back and forth robotically in the air. Well that was typical. Be weird in front of new people. Oh well he loved Error to death despite it's quirky nature.

He ignored his weird acting Porygon for now, and turned fully to the two others. "I'm sorry if I disturbed either of you with my yelling." While he didn't mind if others were disturbed because it wasn't exactly his fault that this happened, he apologized anyway since it seemed the Deerling was scared, and it was the polite thing to do. He kept his distance, while he had to talk somewhat loudly, he didn't want to scare the deerling even more.

A flicker of surprised flash across Theodore's face at the boy's response. He didn't have an answer by the time the boy turned his head to the other newcomer - the one with the Porygon 2. So, as the two talked a bit, Theodore planted his hand on Clover's head and gently pushed her head away from his side, causing her to fall to her knees as she attempted to bump her head against his side once more for protection. His hand served as a barrier, but he found himself stoking her head in attempt to calm her nerves. Once the two boys seemed finished talking, he cleared his voice and spoke. "Its fine," he said to the red-haired boy. "Clover here would be this scared even if you didn't make a sound," he sighed. "She doesn't like being around people she doesn't know but its something she is just going to have to get used too...And..." His gaze flickered to the other one as he frowned softly. "I...Suppose you can join me in relaxing...I guess." Theodore sighed softly to himself as he leaned against the tree. He would have to make friends at some point, he supposed. He just...Wasn't used to that idea.

"Thanks.." Lukas said to the boy relaxing under the tree. He moved under the shade and sat down, releasing Gibby and allowing him to roam around a bit. Turning to Sam, he shook his head. "No bother at all. Energetic Pokemon can be pretty rowdy sometimes." he told him, smiling. Gibby wondered playfully around, enjoying the grass and the flowers. The Gible tried his best to not frighten the Deerling so it wouldn't butt her head into her trainer again.

Sam felt like he wasn't really welcomed there due to Theodore's coldish tone. He had a slight frown on his face, but didn't let it show that much. He looked up at Error to make sure it was still following him so he could leave. Then Lukas pulled him back into the conversation sort of. He blinked as he looked back to the boy, his gaze looked over to the gible for just a moment. "Well she is energetic, but along with that she is a trouble maker.. so it just adds to the stress. Most of the time I never know when she feels like causing trouble." He said with a small smile on his face.

Clover seemed to have been calming down, making no more attempts to hide in Theodore's side but still kept a wary gaze on the Gible as it ran around. Theodore noticed this and gave his small Deerling a smile, before glancing up at the other two. They were talking about their Pokemon being trouble makers and Theodore sighed softly as he knew very much how that felt. "Clover isn't that energetic but she is a trouble maker," he decided to add on the conversation, glaring softly as Clover rubbed her head against his hand as he stoked her. "She...Isn't very old and can get in all sorts of trouble, but then again..." A sigh. "She doesn't know better most of the time."

OCC: Nooo, Sam, don't mind Theodore. He just isn't the best around people. ;.;

"Oh gosh, Scorch! Be careful!" A feminine voice said.
Gayle wrapped her arms gently around her Ponyta's neck which had been clumsily following her footsteps the third time. She would hate for Scorch to get hurt. On the blonde's shoulder was the small little Pokémon that resembled a mouse. Gayle's Nidoran seemed to look down at Scorch with an amused look, as if mocking him for tripping and stumbling.
"Don't be rude, Toxica." She said, directing her comment at her Pokémon. She had been secretly hoping not to run into anyone, but it was just her luck that she rounded the corner only to find not one, not two, but three boys standing there. She sighed, shrugging. She'd just have to deal with it. Gayle then realized that her Ponyta had been clumsily heading towards the group.
"No, Scorch!" She said, leaning down to wrap her arms gingerly around Scorch's neck again. She looked up at the tree strangers, "Erm, sorry...he's just curious..." She explained.
The Nidoran on Gayle's shoulder seemed to be glaring daggers at the three boys.

Markamy peered timidly out at the group, his mauve eyes glistening a brilliant red in the light. Beside him came the long, slim snout of a Dragalge. His gaze flickered like flames, across the courtyard. He blinked, sunlight bending just around the corner. His Dragalge gave a mischievous grin, then raced off to join the group. Scrambling after him, there came a worried voice. "Ugh, Permafrost," Markamy sighed, the young Dragalge throwing her head in the air. "Sorry, she usually doesn't act like this," he explained desperately.

As he glanced around, the situation seemed to be hectic. "Oh." Markamy said blankly, "You seem to be having the same problems I do, I guess." The boy shook his head, but then shrank back into the corner, holding his Pokémon loosely by the neck. His face half-hidden by the shadows, he averted his fiery gaze away from the group.

The Dragalge at Markamy's side rolled huge, pinkish-red eyes. For her assigned nature, she was terribly nosy right now.

With the arrival of two more people, Lukas couldn't respond to anyone. It was making him anxious. Even Gibby was starting to get antsy. "Oh uh, hello," he said in a small voice. Gibby came over to the boy and sat in his lap, trying to comfort his trainer. Lukas wrapped his arms around the Gible and set his head on the land shark.

Sam opened his mouth to comment on the Deerling called clover, when two more people showed up. Where did these two come from all of the sudden? Everything was going decently but with the addition of the two others would make it more stressful for the deerling, and maybe some others. While he didn't mind, and he knew Error wouldn't mind much, others might. Millie would be having a field day at the moment if she was out of her pokeball. His orange eyes looked at the two others that joined them a young girl, and a young boy. He was probably the oldest one here..

"Heya." He said to the two new students that showed up. His Porygon 2 stopped rocking like it normally did, instead it just floated there staring down the student with Nidoran, who decided to glare upon it's trainer. Error didn't like that all too much. Sam didn't really move to stop his pokemon from staring down the other pokemon. "You're.. Scorch? Is fine. Pokemon act in different ways so it's no big deal." He said keeping a friendly smile on his face, and hands tucked into the pockets of his jacket.

"Ow, Clover!" The moment two more people showed up, Theodore let out a yelp - almost covering the squeaks of terror from his Deerling as she quickly shoved her head into his side rather hard. He glared down at his young Pokemon as the two people were quickly apologizing for their Pokémon's behavior. The hard look in Theodore's eyes melted however when he saw Clover was nuzzling her empty Pokéball, her gaze wide with terror as she stared up at her trainer.  He sighed softly as he removed the Pokéball from his belt. "Had enough?" he said softly, as he clicked the button in the middle, the red light enveloping Clover as she retreated to her single safe-heaven.

He then sighed rather loudly as he clicked the Pokéball back into place on his belt, annoyed that the time he was spending with Clover had been so rudely interrupted by so many people. He leaned back on the tree as he folded his arms, finally spending the time to study the two new-comers. The boy was young - perhaps being just slightly older then Theodore's own little sister while the girl seemed about his age. Both with unruly Pokémon - although the fact that the little boy owned such a powerful Pokémon surprised him. He knew some trainers stared young but...He...Decided not to question it as he frowned sharply at them all as he shook his head. "Well, what do you know. It seems there is a party going on and I didn't even know it," he muttered as he stared down at his feet. "I suppose if we are all going to...'Hang out,' we should get to know each others names. My name is Theodore."
