Just a visit

Tala stood around the entrance pacing back and forth with her pokegear in hand. Her Arcanine, Stripes sat not far from the door with Band on his shoulder and Instinct sitting next to him. "Is there something wrong Tala? You've been pacing like this for the last fifteen minutes!" Instinct asked dreading the answer. Tala looked at Instinct very agitated. "They should have been here half an hour ago! Where are they?" she groaned. Her sister and cousin were supposed to come and visit her and she became more agitated the later they became. Instinct let out a sigh "I'm sorry I asked..." she groaned watching her pace again.

Ashley was walking by and seen Tala. She seen how nervous she looked "Tala, are you alright?" She asked

"She won't hear you, her sister and Merri are coming to visit!" Instinct explained. As she did a feminine looking Lucario and a masculine shiny Lucario walked in with a feminine Zoroark behind them. "Lu lucario cario lu lu! (It's been a long time kids!)" the feminine Lucario said patting Instinct on the head. Just then a tallish girl with light blue hair and light brown eyes walked in. She wore a black skirt suit and flat shoes. A slightly shorter girl with short white-violet hair, and red eyes walked in wearing an orange hooded short sleeved top and blue shorts with white and orange trainers. "Hey, sqirt!" the blue haired girl called as Tala ran over to her giving her a big hug. "Kaida you're here!" she called cheerily.

Ashley smiled on "i doubt she'll remember me!" She thought to herself. Rikki and Chordia were walking by, talking about contest, when Chordia ran to ashley "hey, what've i missed?" Rikki walked over and seen the girls "Kaida?...Merri?"

"Hi Rikki, how are you two squirts doing Ashley and Chordia?" Kaida asked as Tala hugged the other girl. "Merri are you looking after Ezio for Ryuu? Is something wrong with him, he never leaves anywhere without Ezio!" Tala asked worriedly. "No I'm right here!" said a boy that was taller than Kaida, he had dark blue hair and blue eyes wearing blue jeans, trainers and a darker blue t-shirt. Tala looked at him rather confused then ran over giving him a big hug. "Ryuu I'm sorry I haven't spoke to you or father!" she said before giving him a punch "Why didn't you visit sooner?!" she groaned.

Rikki gave merri and Kaida a hug "it's been so long! Sorry i haven't visited, what with uni and all!" She then blushed at the boy and turned back to Merri. Chordia walked up to Kaida "i'm all good thanks! My dad told me to tell you that he and oni-chan were asking for ya!" Ashley went i bit limp, the injection was STILL yet to wear of "how am i? I'll tell ya i've been better" she said rubbing her head

The Zoroark stood next to Ashley putting her arm around her to keep her standing straight. "Zoroark roak zoro! (be careful there dear!)" she said gently. "Lucario lu lu cario? (Is something wrong with her Zola?)" the feminine lucario said. "She has these dizzy spells now and then don't worry too much Laura!" Instinct assured. "Hi Rikki long time no see!" Ryuu said with a wave.

Rikki blushed and waved back.Ashley gave Zola a weaker smile than usual "i-i'll be ok,but thank you very much anyway.." Chordia leaned in close to ashley"Rikki never blushes, am i missing somethin here?" She whispered "i have a hunch that Rikki has a thing for this guy..." Ashley whispered back

"Zola's been very motherly lately, so she might not let go of you!" Merri giggled. Kaida leaned close to Rikki "So Rikki, you got a crush on my little brother?" she whispered as Tala done nothing but talk to Ryuu about the adventures she's had so far.

Rikki blushed and shook her head frantically. Ashley laughed "sis, you're a REALLY bad liar!" Rikki put her in a headlock and gave her a noogie "what was that!?" "HEY!"

"She's right, but he's the same!" Kaida laughed. Ryuu listened intently to his younger sister as she spoke nodding as she spoke.

Rikki just giggled and let go of Ashley

"That girl can talk! Have you ever got her to be quiet since you got here?" Merri asked with aa giggle.

Rikki and ashley both laughed slightly "not me!" "never tried!"

"Will someone please try, for Ryuu's sake, he won't last long!" Merri said with a giggle.

Chordi looked to her pokegear "sorry guys, gotta go! got class.. see ya later!" she said running from the group. ashley waved "aren't you in her class ashley?" "actually no..."

'Good grief someone help me!' Ryuu thought as Tala began to talk about other events at the academy. "Poor Ryuu, I can get away!" Merri laughed. "Rikki later can I have a word in private?" Kaida asked.

Rikki smiled at her "i'm free just now if you want!" she said with a 'follow me' gesture

Kaida gave a nod and followed her the feminine lucario; Laura close behind. Merri gave a smiled at Ashley "Should we rescue Ryuu now?"

Ashley stroked her chin "why yes, i think we should!" she said with a giggle. Rikki took kaida to a quiet spot a few metres from where the others were "so..what is it you wanna talk to me about?"

Kaida and Laura gave each other a nod before turning to Rikki, "There are troubles arising back in Ecruteak, Ho-Oh may return soon, but there is a problem with that..." Kaida sighed.
"And then-" Tala began. "Uh, sis let's hear Merri and Ashley!" Ryuu said indecating to the approaching girls.

"hmmmm......i'll speak to father, if team genesis come he'll get the J.I.S ready or them.." rikki said to them. ashley leaned in close to his face "soooo... you're the one that has a thing for my sister,riiiight?" she said with a laugh as she was only joking

OOC: join chatbox pweez i has a question for youu

"I dunno what you're talking about, you got any clue Ezio?" he asked the shiny Lucario who just shook his head quietly folding his arms. Tala gave a giggle.

Ashley laughed. Rikki and Kaida came back "sooo..what did i miss?"

"Denial and a lot of it, isn't that right Ezio?" Merri laughed. Ezio gave a nod with his eyes closed. Stripes and Tala's pokemon sat quietly, the family reunion was a bit...award to them to say the leaste.
