Opal Estelle, the beginning, eleven year old trainer sat in the grass under one of the trees. Resting his head on her lap was Stern, a Poochyena, and she let out a soft cough.
Like normal, the petite blond-brown in tiny pigtails girl had caught something. She felt tired too, but she didn't want to worry about that. She absent mindedly pat Stern's head, and his little tail wagged happily.
The two looked like a cute little picture.

'Ehh...' she said to herself, confused, adjusting her umbrella, tugging at her braided hair again, while Cheryl was holding onto the umbrella too, basking in the bright sun, blooming into a beautiful flower.
'Mama's not about... You'd think Mama would have left a note to tell me where she was going.. But it's not like I know where I am anyway...' she told the Cherrim, who gave a little nod.
'You think Totoro would like the sun too?'

Opal looked up when she heard voices; nearly in unison with Stern. His fur had already puffed out, and he was up on his paws rather quickly, letting out a soft growl. All puffed out, Opal looked around her tree slightly, and saw someone else.
She picked up Stern and held him to her chest, trying to get him to stop. He didn't, but he did launch himself out of Opal's arms, and barked loudly at the new girl.
"Stern!" she stated, and coughed after wards, as her lungs didn't enjoy having to breathe right now, especially after talking.

'Eh?!' she quickly shrieked slightly when the Poochyena bound forth, and Cheryl had shut her eyes quickly to avoid impact, bringing up a large green barrier that caused any attacking foe to bounce right off like a protective bubble.
Marihuana looked up, slightly shocked to see Cheryl had caused damage. The Cherrim looked about - scared, afraid. Had she done something wrong...?
'Onnozel, Synthesis, Cheryl, you go on with Sunny Day. As strong as the sunlight may be at the moment, we need optimum light and healing, she instructed with much confidence, as the Vileplume started absorbing light, showering the injured Poochyena with the Pokemon's healing skills.
She looked rather pleased, and Cheryl danced under the sun, looking rather content - No longer afraid of her wrongdoings.
At least, they had done what they could... right? [/blockquote]

"Stern, no! I know I'm...," Opal shouted, running out from around her tree, but was forced to stop shouting as a cough ripped through her chest.
Stern was still growling softly, but trotted over to Opal. Petting Stern's head, she coughed into the long, blue sleeve of her shirt. "Um...sor-."
A soft coughing fit interupted her, but she finished it up. "Sorry. Stern is just...over protective could be a description," she stated, and Stern walked around to stand behind her, making annoyed sounds.
Opal looked nervous, and chewed on her lip a little.

'Ehe, it's okay.'
She shuffled her feet, and closed her umbrella, letting the scorching heat dawn on her face, the green tinted lens leaving a large reflection. She adjusted them, and returned Onnozel, while Cheryl hopped onto her shoulder again.
'Your Poochyena reminds me of Benny. He was always a protective, tend to overdo things. Took a while for him to behave,' she added, pulling her braid over her shoulder, stroking it slightly. [/blockquote]

"I'm glad that you forgive us. Mainly Stern. He shouldn't have done that. I should've also had a better eye on him...but we're just starting out," Opal explained softly, kneeling down to pat Stern on the head.
He wagged his tail a little, and rolled onto his back to get his tummy rubbed. She obliged, but coughed into her shoulder again. It wasn't all that nice, having to deal with the coughing, but it was her life. Cough, be 'healthy' for a day, sneezing, and so on and so forth.
She rubbed her forehead with her spare hand, and continued to rub Stern's tummy.

'But every Pokemon starts off disobedient one way or another. It's a matter of adapting to the situation and all that, hnnh?' she replied calmly, as she bent over to look at the Poochyena, Cheryl climbing on her head to look down and give a little laugh at Stern, and she watched with slight interest.

"Yep, but he's also overprotective at times. I wouldn't lean too close. He's still unsure if you are going to hurt me or not. And I believe they are known f-..."
Opal had started to explain, but was cut off by a nasty cough, which caused her to shake her head a little. Apparently, this was going to be one of those days. Stern made a little mutter, and tried to roll over to scare her away, but Opal kept him on his back.
"No, don't think about it Stern," she stated, and he let out a little whine.

Karen was looking around at her unknown surroundings, Cherry at her feet. She had seen only wild life so far. An Arcanine strood up to her side as Karen continued looking around.

'Eh, Cheryl, you think you found something?' she asked the Cherrim on her shoulder, letting it down as she ran off to find the source of the sound she had heard a while back.
Marihuana laughed a little at Cheryl's antics, 'I've seen several Pokemon like these.' She moved her head back, and made sure her umbrella was still hanging on her arm before she gave a smile.

Karen was walking with Blaze until she saw a Cherrim. She looked at it, 'Hi there.' She said bending down to the Pokemon's level.

The Cherrim squeaked in surprise, closing up into a bud again as the Sunny Day that was reinforced a while back was starting to die down already. Hurriedly, she looked about, and started running in fear.
(And now she's scared. 8| The Sunny Sprite only comes when there's Sunny Day, they can't actually stay in the form or they would have this SUPAH POWERR that would kick butt, seriously.) [/size]

Stern flipped over quickly, letting out a little snarl in the direction that the Cherrium came from, and Opal let out a short, startled, cough, falling back onto her butt. Stern began to bark loudly in the direction, and continued to bark loudly.
"Stern!" she pleaded, picking up the barking Poochyena.

Marihuana spun over, and whistled for the Cherrim to run into her hands, grabbing a hold of the struggling Cherrim tight as she whistled smoothly, 'There there hun, you're going to be all okay...' She pulled out a small bell, shook it gently, as the struggling Cherrim slowly calmed down, still breathing hard from the trauma she had just experienced, she clambered up to Marihuana's shoulder, and the Grass-type lover looked at Stern... sternly, softening up gradually.
'Would you like this Soothe Bell? It's done many wonders for me.' [/size]

Opal shook her head a little, and tried to calm Stern down herself. "I couldn't take it. Stern will calm down on his own eventually. Besides, I couldn't ta-..."
Once again, Opal was cut off by a cough, and she buried her head in Stern's back, while he barked insanely in Cherrium's former direction.
He obviously either smelled or heard someone coming up.

Karen looked at the path that that the Cherrim had run. 'Blaze return.' Karen called taking out another Pokeball, at the same time. She let Cherry out silently onto her shoulder before walking down the path Cherrim had taken. Cherry had used a Sunny Day.
'Cherry, where do you think we are? The unusually small Cherrim shook its head. 'Alright then.' Karen coninued walking down the path.

Stern had finally stopped barking, but he was growling lowly. She just kept trying to calm him down, and muffled her cough, before she sneezed. Now that had come from holding in the coughs, but she was okay.
After all, by tomorrow, she would be on her grand journey, if she didn't start today, and then...she would lay stranded on the side of the road coughing her lungs out. She really needed to find someone to travel with her.

( Then my reply is later. ^^;; )
Marihuana was really getting tad bit concerned for the girl, and she shuffled her feet slightly, 'Umm, you okay...? That cough sounds really bad...'
She didn't really know what else to tell a girl she had just met by pure chance.

Opal blushed softly in embaressment, and hugged Stern close to her smiling shyly. "Oh, I'll be fine. I always cough," she answered, only telling the partial truth.
Gently petting the Poochyena, he slowly stopped growling, closing his eyes. She just knew how to calm the little guy down, and she snuggled with her Pokemon more.
((ooc: It's okay))

Karen continued down the path, Cherry still on her shoulder with Sunny Day in effect. She soon came across Marihuana and Opal. She grinned sheepishly, 'Do either of you know this is?'
