((crap, Ella's in the field. Someone else post!!!!!!!!!!!!))

((Should I continue or wait on someone?))

((go ahead, get to the route already))

Amos strolled out of the mart and headed south, toward route 101. "Now that we're loaded up I guess I better catch a few new poke'mon for my first team." He had a bit of a smug look that matched how he felt right then. Just then he heard something rustling in the grass nearby not too far away. He watched and waited to see what came of it.

Ella was getting impatient. She hadn't managed to find a single pokemon. "Where are you?" she asked no one in particular, roaming through the tall grass. Short as she was, it was almost as tall as her in spots. Then, she heard rustling. She headed towards it, excited, only to find that it was just a boy. "You're not a pokemon." she said, dissappointed, "Who are you?"

He was a little disappointed himself to not find the poochenya he hoped for. "And I take it that you aren't a poke'mon either." He paused for a second to look her over and walked a few feet closer. "I'm Amos" he said with a grin and stuck his hand out to her.

Ella laughed. "I'm Ella." she looked Amos over for a moment. "I take it you're the missing team member?"
She indicated the Swablu on her shoulder. "This is Qtip."

"Its great to meet you Ella. "His hand went back to his pocket pretty quickly. "Yeah I am. I had my starter poke'mon and took a ship to meet you guys." A poke'mon poked(lol) its head out of his backpack to see who Amos was talking to. "You guys got up here a lot faster than I thought you would." Amos noticed his tentacool sticking out of his pack. "This is Vardirge by the way. I found him when I was really little, but I'm finally gonna be a trainer now."

Ella grinned. "A Tentacool? Very nice. And yep, we're all going to be trainers." she looked ready to burst. "Finally going to be trainers..."
She trailed off as she spotted something moving. She edged closer, finding it to be a Lotad. "A lotad." she breathed excitedly, pulling out a pokeball, "Qtip, use peck!"
He did, and Ella caught the pokemon. "Look." she said excitedly, "I caught a pokemon!"

((u heading to petalburg?
I'll start off....btw the ___ is a space for wich town ur heading to))

"Return"sam said as his larvitar hopped back into its poke ball.
"Its been a great day today eh larvitar?"
He heard a muffled "lavi" from inside his pocket.
Sam made his way to _______ ____ pkmn center.
"Hey could you heal my larvitar?"sam asked Nurse Joy.((can't remember her name i think its that))
"Sure,thats what the pkmn center is for"she said smiling.
"Thanks"said sam with a grin.

(we'll be like brenden, may, and wally XD).
Amos followed her through the brush. "Thats great Ella!" he said with a smile. "You're already pretty good at this." He stopped and looked around. "I'm gonna try for a Wurmple first" he said after a bit. "It shouldn't be too hard..."

He spotted something in the grass twitch and ran towards it. A Wurmple and a Zigzagoon darted from the area. Without skipping a beat, he blurted "Vardirge, Poison Sting that Wurmple now." Vardirge scored a direct hit. The Wurmple turned and fired off a String Shot at them.

Amos put his arms up to shield his face and Vardirge. It worked, but he couldn't see the large rock right at his feet. "Hit it again, Poison sti-*thump*." he landed flat on his face, but Vardirge got the message. The Wurmple struggled to move, but took the hit dead on. Amos got to one knee and thew a poke'ball. The Wurmple struggled for a second or two, but was caught.

He breathed a sigh of relief and staggered back to his feet. Amos picked up the poke'ball and stashed it in his pocket.

((And who will I be then...?))

Zack was snoozing in the thick grass without a care in the world. It was so peaceful, just lying and relaxing there.
Igglybuff was sound asleep too. She was settled onto Zack's stomach, listening to the grows and grumbles it made, she giggled.
Suddenly, Zack woke up without warning and picked the sleepy Igglybuff up as he then stood up to look around the place, "Damn, how long have I've been asleep...?" he yawned to the Igglybuff who didn't have a clue herself.

((mushashi i'll meet u in the grass if u can))))
The sun beared down apon Sam as he stepped out of the pokemon center.He walked towards the tall grass to find himself a pokemon to train on.As he made his way through the tall grass....he saw something moving in there.He decided to investigate.

Ella grinned. "A wurmple. Nice. Congrats to you too!"

((good twist charly ))
"Group?"said Sam confused.
He examined the trainer,then put out his hand.
"I'm Sam"he said.
"Oh and by the way...whatever this group is i'd sure like to join."
"It sounds like fun"he said smiling.

Amos dusted the dirt of his pants from the spill and laughed. "Thanks Ella." He noticed to new guy standing in thier midst. "Uh...hi..." he looked puzzled at Sam's sudden apperance and request. He looked to Ella for a second. "If it's ok with her, then I guess you can hang with us for awhile. Where are you headed?"

(how long has it been so far? Like, what time is it?)
"Yeah, I guess I am." Two new people? he thought. "I think you did miss something. I'm Amos by the way."

"Thanks!",he said."Ella?Nope, haven't heard of her.I'm guessing she's part of the group too?"
He turned to Amos.
"Pleased to meet you aswell Amos!"
Still smiling at his two new friends he asked,
"Who and wheres is Ella?I'd love to meet her too!"
((where r we lol?))

Ella grinned. "The more the merrier." she told the newcomer.
She turned to Zack. "Amos just showed up. He's a new trainer too, and he wanted to join the group. I hope that's alright."
Back to Amos. "Just a bit. He missed that I caught a Lotad,"
Then, to the new guy. "I'm Ella." she said, "We're a bunch of new trainers, who just got our pokemon from Birch. We teamed up, because it seems safer and all that. Plus having friends about will be nice."
She was rather amused to find that apparently Amos thought she was in charge.

Ella grinned at him and waved the pokeball triumphantly. "A Lotad!" she crowed, "I caught a Lotad!"
