‘Twas quite official.
Valerious had a BAD sense of direction.
Stopping in front of a tall, lavish building, the question marks could almost be seen floating around the bellossom’s head as his gaze flitted to this way and that in a vain attempt to redirect himself. Lifting his bandaged arm to his chin, ignoring the sharp pain shooting through it still, Steel thoughtfully tapped it as he glanced back at Silent-Shell with a hidden sort of concern.
Well, no use trying to hide it with a fake sense of confidence, as he had been doing thus far.
Turning around swiftly, the long petals musically chiming, the grass-type looked rather grim as he stood silently for a moment… Uncomfortably shifting his weight to his right side, a very sheepish smile spread from one end of his cheek to the other. Lifting his arm, pointing to the stormy heavens above, Steel declared very loudly, along with a sheepish head rub with his free arm,
“WE’RE LOST!”
Realizing his theatrics may have startled his good-natured companion, Valerious swiftly dove into an artful, yet apolgetic bow. Nervously rubbing the crimson blossom next to his head, the petal dancer cast a concerned glance at the dark alleyways. A lone street lamp, illuminating their corner with fragmented light, flickered softly overhead with soft sputters as it threatened to go out.
“Eh… Sorry if I startled you, Silent Shell. I’m afraid we are quite lost, however. All these buildings look alike! Like trees! Why do buildings have to be like trees?! I-”
Stopping his tirade abruptly, the large chunk of hail that had beamed him in the head forcefully fell next to his side with a dull clatter. Nursing his sore head, Valerious shook a stubby fist at the clouds as… he just looked at the Shedinja in front of him helplessly.
“I don’t suppose you know where we are, Silent? *smash!* Ow… Or where we could get out of this *smash!* Ahhhhck!- Hail?”

A thick, glittering shield seperated the two wild Pokemon, and the quiet Shedinja from the Hail - {Silent-Shell does not like weather}, apparently. The ghostly critter glared coldly ahead, practically ignoring her friend as she waited for the hail to go away.
{Ble-ech. Silent-Shell hates hail. And sandstorms. Mostly hail. VALERIOUS. Tell the hail to go away. Valreious, why does it hail now? Valerious!}
Almost like a little girl, but quieter - aside from that last shout of Valerious, the Shedinja had been whispering, as she struggled to hold up her Protect. The green shield disappeared completely, however, when the male Bellossom started shouting.
She was about to scurry off in fear when Valerious apologised. {Oh, it is fine...Valerious just startled Silent-Shell, that is all. And Silent-Shell is lost too...Maybe Valerious and Silent-Shell could go inside of big building? Then nice humans come and heal Valerious's sore head, yesyes, and no hail inside.}
((Yay!))

Yes, the hail was causing lots of trouble for all kinds of pokemon that were around at the time, and another one was just scarpering nearer. A blue and orange mist obscured by the streams of hail which pounded down onto the ground, and everything else unlucky enough to be above it. You could hear her speech too well though, interspersed with the pounding of ice...
"This....Isn't what i'm for!" A voice of a Floatsel cried, breathing deeply as she rushed forward, hoping to find somewhere to hide. Even for someoneof the Water speciality, Hail always came as a real pain, and it hurt. Badly. "Theres no water here, nowhere to swim, or fish, and now i'm being... punished with this weather? Why... did i ever join that stupid... gang, this is pointless..."
She continued her mild complaints, which sounded more pleafully than in anger as Parsh swerved between other people which were also looking for shelter. Granted, there weren't a lot of them left that hadn't retreated, and as a Floatsel, there was little worry to be had regarding being caught; her kind were pretty common. And even if the number one Floatsel fan in the world was here wanting to get another for her collection, the weather would force the trainer away.
She kept on running, or at least as best as she could; she was used to swimming more than this, would rather be back at the lake or ocean...not causing generic problems for Fire-Types she had no objection against or intention to harm. Glimpsing the huge building ahead of her, she grinned, seeing an opportunity for shelter, even if several of the windows were clearly broken into from excess ice from the gloomy sky. The streetlamps were all smashed, so the only light on the street was that which came from the buildings. And from that, the Bellosom and Shedinja were illuminated and quite noticable. The fact they weren't moving said it all. One was probably in the Grass Gang, but quite frankly she didn't care - she didn't want to get stuck alone, and swiftly headed up to them.
"Aren't you... going to... get inside? Ow.." She called over the constant scattering of ice which fell over the city. "This hail has...no mercy for anyone..."
(Yep, pretty nasty hail. -pokes Fire-Tail- Idiot! >3)

{{Sorry for the delay! ;-; }}
“Trust me, Silent. If I could stop the hail, I would.”
Beamed in the head by another large piece of hail (CC’s trying to be mean, isn’t it?), Valerious winced again, losing his train of thought. Something about finding shelter. Nodding at Silent’s suggestion, he batted away a big chunk of hail.
Not the smartest thing to do.
Biting back a scream of pain, Steel jumped up and down as he cradled his arm, still biting his lower lip. Hail, being made out of ice, is rather solid. Big hail is really solid… and sharp. Try batting it with an arm that bleeds with minor force exerted upon it?
Precisely.
“Good thinking… Silent. ”
That sounded kinda forced. Shaking his head, the bellossom began walking forward again, towards the large windows facing the street. Startled by Parsh’s sudden appearance, the Grass Gang-er seemed more than happy to comply with her suggestion.
Live to fight another day, right?
Smash!
“Arrrrgh! Fine! Stupid hail!”
Glaring at the clouds in obvious dislike, the soft echoes of his bell-skirt echoed through the barren streets… as a few pieces of hail began to be tinged a familiar red.
{{o-o Why do I make Valerious bleeeeed so much? >-<; Ick. Rook is ebil. ;-;}}

{Valerious...what is the red liquid that trails from your arm?}
Being no more than a shell of a creature, the word blood meant nothing to the Shedinja that innocently posed the question, as she had none of it - a mystical, unearthly force kept her 'alive'.
{Silent thinks we should go inside now,} the bug said sagely, bobbing up and down as she avoided the chunks of ice. She seemed to be ignoring Parsh for the moment as she concentrated on simultaneously listening for the answer her friend gave and dodging the hail. Though she could avoid attacks of certain types with ease, weather proved much more...difficult.

"You won't want to know, but you'll be seeing plenty more of it if you stick around longer!"
A yell came from under the shelter of the building, just by one of the large pillar supports that stood in front of the entrance. Thankfully the shelter was of leather as opposed to glass, and the doors that stood behind her were well covered. No dents or shattered holes here! The Floatsel still waved her fins and tails in the direction of the doors, though really, they didn't need to go inside. It was extremely spacey inside, though, and several people would no doubt notice them if they stayed by the entrance of one of Sootopolis' most renowned buildings. But whatever the case, this Floatsel didnt want to go in alone, and eagerly watched the other pair to see what they'd do...
(By the way, i know it's spelled Floatzel, but since it was Floatsel in Japanese, it feels like localisation for the US. Which is just silly. -.-')

ooc:// For the sake of having something to reply to...
Haill... it was completely annoying. And the ninetails knew why.
He had stopped by Fire-Tail and Fur-Flare while running into the streets. Then it had started hailing.
Yes, that's all Ear-Flame had to hear to know what had happened. After a chat (the two male pokémon getting mad at Fire-Tail, no doubt), the houndoom and flareon had run off towards the bounty of food, known as the Market Place, and Ear-Flame had dissapeared here. And now he was there, using his ability to melt the Hail before it even reached his silky fur.
The ninetails grunted in an annoyed way, walking about. There was little to see as far as he was concerned- Floatzel here, Bellossom there, Shedinja beside Bellossom. He had taken the rest of the Poffin into one of the alleyways, although it took some time. So much houses. It was only when he asked a stray arcanine did Ear-Flame finally put the Poffin Case somewhere to hdie it and dissapeared off.
{Next time, I'm going with that houndoom to the Walls. EF's too soft to stop her from doing anything stupid...} There was a pause. {Better yet, Bring 'B along with me. Urgh...}

“..Eh?”
Oh… Mew! No wonder it hurt that much!
Rubbing his sore arm ruefully, Valerious shook his head, narrowly avoiding another chunk of hail. That’s right… Silent-Shell probably wouldn’t know what blood was. Heck, it was kinda odd for a plant to be bleeding something other than chlorophyll- but that was a matter he’d rather not think about. Slammed in the head once again, Valerious dismissed the idea abruptly without a direct answer.
“Don’t worry about it, Silent. I agree! Out- Out of this horrid weather!”
Running and skidding to a stop beside Parsh, Steel repeated her motion with his good arm, waving the shedinja over. Ah~ This was much better! Sheltered from most of the onslaught of ice, the weary bellossom let out a sigh of relief as his head was spared more abuse.
Not quite.
Bouncing off the pavement like a rubber ball, a small chunk of hail hit him gently in the head before being lost in the sea of shattered ice around them. Not that Steel-Claw could keep his cool after that. Throwing his arms up in frustration, yet keeping enough dignity not to curse at an inanimate object, Valerious angrily plodded to the door, opening it in such an angle to allow Parsh and Silent entrance, yet act as a shield from the shrapnel.
“It’s dangerous, on all accounts, out there! I dunno about you two- but It’d prolly be a lot safer in here.”
Blind to Ear-Flame's approach.
{{ Desculpa, gente. ^^;}}

{Um. Silent-Shell thinks Valerious needs to get inside.}
Well, she was honest, you could give her that. The Shedinja gave her friend a funny look, lifeless body darting from side to side to dodge chunks of falling ice; managing to escape, unharmed, to the door, she floated serenely inside, straight through the door that the Bellossom held open, waiting politely for the other two to do the same. Strangely, though her body was still solid, Silent had no difficulty in becoming intangible. Indeed, ti was one of her favourite pastimes.

{{YAY! =D Boris! *glomps da Hypno*}}
“Ow! “
Parsh or no Parsh, this was getting dangerous. Darting inside, hoping the floatzel would do the same without him having to courteously wait for her, Valerious nodded a meek reply; cradling his head and not really focusing on his surroundings.
“Oof!”
Bouncing of something solid- yet oddly squishy- Steel ungracefully toppled over and stared up at a rather fancy looking chandelier. Nice… very nice. Watching the different glass formations project light in astonishing ways, Valerious lay flat on his back for a few minutes… Oh, wait. He wasn’t here for that.
Getting up heavily, his noggin throbbing with the effort, the bellossom’s vision clouded over with stars as he swooned forward- only to be righted by some unknown thing.
“Urk. Thanks…?”
“My pleasure, young man! It’s one devilish sort of storm, isn’t it? Ah- the wind pounding at the windows has been simply dreadful, fortunately the hail hasn’t been able to puncture them- precautions are of the essence as my master, Monsieur Patriques, will vouch for. Welcome to the Prime Donna, Monsieur! And you too, mademoiselle. Ah, and you as well, my dear. Please make yourself quite at home- the hail outside is dreadful! Why, in Italy, where we first were- ”
Eee… Some welcome. A strange hypno with a monocle was shaking his arm off- and chewing his ear off at the same time. Looking a bit more bewildered than he would of liked, Valerious gave Silent a confused glance, before nodding at whatever the Hypno was saying.
“Ah- hungry, mes amis? The essence of hearty Italian cooking and herbs from distant regions make our meals a delectable treat for even the most finicky appetite! Why, even-”
Yes… Boris was quite the chatterbox, wasn’t he? ;3
{{Noooooooow, we're relocating to the Prima Donna! ^^ I missed Boris. ;^; *glomps da Hypno...again* ^^ }}
