Shupple
"Not...... really..." Mear shook his head after a second. Oh.... Right....
"Why?" I hesitated, not sure what to say. I couldn't really explain.... Mhm...
"But.... I remember a feeling... and an image...." Mear turned his head a little so that he could see me and the lake at the same time, probably to distract himself a little. I couldn't take my eyes off of him either, even though I was looking halfway down into the water and over at Mear. Just what... exactly did he mean?
I kept on looking at him, and the thought was finally coming to view of why I really, really liked him. He was shy, which I not only liked but loved, cute... handsome... sweet.... and probably many other reasons I couldn't describe at the moment... I blushed a little as I thought these things about Mear.
"Shupple...." Mear asked after another moment. "You mean a lot to me, too."
I just stared down at the water, surprised and yet happy. I blushed bright red and just stared at the water until I heard Mear move a little beside me. I looked up and noticed he wasn't drawing. He was looking at me.
"Um..." I said after a moment. "Mear... You mean a lot to me.... Very much to me.... So much...." I took a deep breath before continuing. "I... was... was wondering because I was hoping that you would remember because... I told you..." I took another deep breath. "That I really, really like you, Mear..... So much....."
It was hard to look at him after that because he blushed scarlet and hesitated a long time before he actually opened his mouth. I kept looking at him.
"Um.... Shupple...." Mear began. "I...."

Gray
I watched from inside the shadows of the mansion on the outside wall, the sun barely hitting the walls of the outside of the mansion, thank God, and was watching and hearing every single word that was being said by Mear and by Shupple.
I swear if Mear ever did anything to Shupple..... He wouldn't be able to stand at all.... Ever.

Lee
The Hitmonlee Ginika stared quietly and made eye contact with the Houndoom Gijjika who was staring back at him. He said nothing, not a word, but rather waited patiently for what he knew was going to be said soon. Hoom carried a visage that he knew well enough. Rogue, Lee's kid sister had reflected it many times before, and now seeing it across the face of Hoom, Lee understood the method to be made.
“I’m frustrated, need to take everything out of my system and Hon…Lux is going to win against him; he was impulsive and he just evolved…he needs to train in order to use new attacks. I look like a victim and that is the last thing I want. I want to go away, be alone for a while but at the same time…”
Lee read the words more than heard them, and his left eye moved over twoards Luis who appeared to be watching quietly as well. A silent understanding of the sorts passed between the two Gijinka, and finally, Lee focused his attention back at Hoom who seemed to be reflecting her own thoughts on the silent action that had transgressed all spoken language.
“…Then shall we go?” the Hitmonlee Gijinka asked in the manner that one asks someone to wait for them at a certain point. The Houndoom Gijinka nodded back understanding the full meaning behind the words. Forcing himself up, Lee stood tall and somewhat slim once more waiting for Hoom to rise as well. When the Houndoom rose to standing position, the Hitmonlee turned and began walking towards the exit of the mansion.
Hoom, you would get along well with Rogue... She caries the same weight on her shoulders... the same drive to do what she wants and succeed in any way shape fashion or form....Someday I shall bring my family back together, and we will all train once more.... And not just you... everyone in this house has a fiery potential that should be met one day..... the hitmonlee closed his eyes as he walked.
The sound of feet hitting and moving through the grass all but echoed as the group that included not only Hoom and the two fighting Gijinka but also Kat and Sable who had taken somewhat of a psychic inclination as to what to do despite the fact that they were not Fighting pokemon. Along with them, what appeared to be a Vulpix Gijinka that the Hitmonlee had not met yet came as well. Hoom began to take the lead way and was already walking towards what appeared to be a spot most comfortable for her.
After a moment, the Houndoom seemed to look around the area and then turn back to the group behind her. Forming a defensive stance, Hoom reflected a look of energized fire. Lee nodded as well, and the fight began. Those that were willing, fought, and almost in a synranized effort, Hoom beat them back. Lee, reading the motions as a master would, noted each movement and each strength, each weakness, and each beating second that passed through the fight.
Reflecting stronger movements, powerful attacks, and defensive maneuvers, Lee brushed back Hoom and was finally the winner. Standing over where Hoom was sitting, Lee crossed his arms for a moment and then uncrossed them again to help the Houndoom up. She seemed more relaxed than before, and Lee understood this and began to release Calm Mind into the area. It soothed those that were somewhat tired as well as others who were merely enjoying the experience.
“Lee-san….Thank you again….” Hoom said as she tried to catch her breath. Lee nodded back at her. “….would you….would you train me?” Hoom asked causing somewhat of a surprise to brought upon the Hitmonlee's visage.
“Are you aware your brother is fine?” Lee asked as his eye moved. He had felt the energy in the area grow stronger, and for one reason or another, while the Lucario Gijinka, Luis, was in a closer proximity, Lee found that he was able to read the forest better. Hoom nodded.
“Then, the only thing left for me to do is returning to the mansion and leaving you some space to think things out” Lee said quietly.
Where are you going, Lee? the voice had spoken in a way that neither startled the Hitmonlee Gijinka nor surprised him. His eye shifted over to the Lucario still sitting not far off.
One is more at peace, but the other is not. Take care of the group here...please. Lee's thoughts found themselves almost in a echoing format in his mind, and he understood how the transgression of thought was occurring. It appeared as though Luis had read through the silent Calm Mind that was continuing to move through the air and had traced it back to the source using it as a medium through which to read the emotions and thoughts of its actual starter.
Take care then was the only answer back.
With that, the Hitmonlee turned sharply and disappeared from site. Using the Calm Mind to reflect the feelings of those in the area, Lee began to search for what he knew was being expressed somewhere. Running with a powerful momentum, the Hitmonlee traveled up the mountain with ease. Coming to the source of the emotion that was blasting out into the area, Lee found what appeared to be a resting Luxray Gijinka on the ground. As if suddenly realizing the Hitmonlee's presence, Lux tensed and forced himself upwards turning sharply around as though in defense.
"I'm not going back," he said sharply all but leering at Lee.
"What entity said that I was going to return you to the mansion?" Lee asked back crossing his arms quietly. A silent moment seemed to cross between the two Gijinka.
"Then what are you here for?" was the question that left the lips of the Luxray.
"Your childish behavior has thrown Hoom off balance," Lee answered back. "And her honest spirit cannot take it."
Lux appeared to scowl at this and shake his head. "Well you don't have to worry about it any more then," Lux answered back.
"She suffers for you," Lee said keeping his tone complacent. "I do not know the full details, but I understand that she is suffering because you left."
Lux's eyes seemed to enlarge, but after another moment he shook his head again. "Just go away," the Luxay said sharply.
"So you can act more like a child and destroy this sanctuary of a mountain with your violent tenancies?" Lee asked turning his head to one side and viewing what appeared to be a tree that had been all but electrocuted. "There are pokemon up here as well you know...And you could be destroying their homes and not even realizing it."
"Will you just shut up and leave?" Lux answered back sharply. "I don't need to hear it from you.... I .. don't."
"Fight me then," Lee said after a moment. "And I will take you down and make you listen to me."
"No. No more fighting... I don't want it," Lux said shaking his head after another moment. "Just...."
A strange smile crept up on the face of the karate master. "Your heart is in the right place," Lee sighed. "But your mind isn't. Care to explain?"
Lux's face seemed to shift from a defensive look to something of a defeated look. "I don't.... fine," Lux answered, and with that, the Luxray Gijinka began to explain all that had happened. The Hitmonlee listened without digression or comment until it was finally over.
"Fate has strung you up," was the first comment that the Hitmonlee stated after the Luxray had finished.
"Tell me about it," Lux answered back shaking his head and looking to the side. "Hoom doesn't deserve me, Estelle doesn't deserve me... I should never have entered the mansion..." However, before the Luxray could react, the Hitmonlee had stepped forwards and punched him in the cheek. Unlike Lee's legs, his arm muscles were nowhere near as full of muscle, and the punch was light in itself. More or less, the shock of it was what brought the Luxray into a confused look.
"If you had not come, you would have already lost them both," Lee said after a moment.
"I already ha-" Lux started, but Lee's hand was already before him.
"Bonds are not that easily broken," Lee answered back. "People are not that weak..."
Lux refused to make eye contact and instead seemed to look at a rock not far off. "How would you know?" Lux asked sharply.
"The last thing I said to Rogue, my sister, was 'I blame you for our mother's death'," Lee answered back. "And that very day, a fire was set to our dojo, and all of us were split up.... and yet... I know I will find my family once more, and things will be better...."
"You're situation is different," Lux answered back.
"Love is conformed," Lee answered. "It may sound different but it is not..."
"This is between two people that I can't chose between," Lux answered sharply as his eyes narrowed.
"And you have hurt them both by your indecisiveness, and yet do you think that running away is the end of it?" Lee answered back sharply. "It doesn't matter what you do. They still care for you, and it is up to you to mend everything. Hoom will forgive you. Estelle will forgive you, but will you forgive yourself and allow yourself to move on?"
There was suddenly a very defeated look that strung across the visage of the Luxray Gijinka. Forcing his eyes away, Lux sighed. "I can't," he answered back. "I... I can't....." Lux answered back, his voice somewhat cracking now. "I've done too much... I've hurt them both... and I can't..... I...."
"Calm Mind," Lee answered, and once more the air was flooded with a calm aura.
