The Melody of The Sea is now Silent

[mineralgirl]

Characters: Jasmine and you!
Setting: Dorm floors, cafeteria, and floor twenty-five.
Format: Staring with prose, but I'll match you!
Summary: Jasmine wakes up in the Tower and tries to deal with the fact that everyone she knows and loves is dead.
Warnings: None that I can think of!

When Jasmine woke up and found herself in an unfamiliar room and in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar nightgown, she was more than a little worried. Who had kidnapped her? Team Rocket? And why? Looking around, she saw a couple of letters on her nightstand, and while they were a bit informative, Jasmine had a very hard time swallowing it. Joto destroyed? Amphy dead? Olivine no more? All her friends and family dead? Jasmine sighed and bit her lip. In such times, she had to be strong. She hadn't gotten to be a Gym Leader by weeping at every cricis that happened along. She had to figure out what exactly was going on here.

So, she got out of bed and opened up her trunk, hoping to find something useful..and did. She quickly changed into her clothes and did up her hair before gathering up the Pokeballs that were in the trunk. So, her friends hadn't died at all. At least..some of them hadn't. Quickly, she opened up one ball and pulled out her Magnemite, which called out to her. Smiling, she patted it on the head. "Don't worry..we'll figure this one out."

With that, she ran out into the hallway, looking for anyone that she could find, her Magnemite trailing behind her. As she ran, she held onto her other Pokeballs. She wanted to pull them out, but Steelix was rather large, and she didn't want to tire Skarmory, even though she was rather strong.

While the bowl of oatmeal the man had handed her was rather unappetizing, Jasmine was trying to make the best of it and eat it as quickly as possible. While she ate, her Magnemite flitted about, and her other two Pokeballs sat on the table. Even though they weren't out, Jasmine wouldn't leave her friends out of a meal.

After going down the stairs for awhile, Jasmine had finally found a floor large enough for Steelix. Smiling, she released the large Pokemon, and it called out rather loudly as it was let out. "Sorry..this place is a bit smaller than home." In response, it lowered it's head and Jasmine, smiling, patted the large Pokemon on the head. They were made out of Steel and tough, but that didn't mean she had to be tough when she didn't have to be. After all, they were her friends.

..At that, Jasmine couldn't help but, after some consideration, try to put a hand on the boy's shoulder.

"It's..alright. I have a hard time..dealing with people too sometimes..so I understand."

[notagiraffe]

"Really?" He blinked at her and gave a tiny smile. "It's just scary sometimes."

[mineralgirl]

Jasmine returned the smile and nodded. "I know..I grew up in a town full..of burly sailors. While they were nice...they could be intimidating sometimes.."

[notagiraffe]

"I think they would be..." It sounded quite scary, "But sometimes... nice people can be very scary at first."

[mineralgirl]

"I know..and they weren't mean..it was just..a bit intimidating sometimes. But..I got along with them..alright."

[notagiraffe]

"I'm glad..." He smiled at her happily.

[mineralgirl]

Jasmine returned the smile and nodded. "So am I. Did..you have any good friends back home?"

[notagiraffe]

"Um... well Risai... she was nice she was a general in the army... She had a Youjyuu- um that's a bit like a Youma... but different... Humans can train them but Kirin can't bind them like Shirei...

Um... her's was a Tenba which is like a wolf but with wings... and was called Hi'en. He was very friendly... and um... Lord Gyousou had a Suugu... um it's a bit like an earth tiger but white... called Keito..."

It probably was telling that all of Taiki's friends were animals.

[mineralgirl]

While Jasmine did catch on that, it just made her smile grow. After all, most of her friends were Pokemon, so it was nice to find someone so similar to her.

"Well..it's good..that you had so many friends then. All..of my Pokemon are my friends..especially Amphy."

[notagiraffe]

"I'm glad... the other pokemon I met here are really really nice..." He told her with a smile.

[mineralgirl]

"Well..I'm glad to hear that. What other Pokemon have you met here?"

It looked like these two were becoming fast friends if Jasmine wasn't pausing or fidgeting as much.

[notagiraffe]

I met missy... and um... chandelure... They are really nice!

[mineralgirl]

I've met Missy! She is..really nice. But..who's Chandelure?

[notagiraffe]

He's Morty's friend... he's nice and helped get water for everyone when it was really hot.

[mineralgirl]

[Ah..it must have been a new Pokemon that she didn't know about yet. At that, she smiled and nodded.]

I see..I'm glad to hear that then. Morty..comes from the same region..I do, so..I'm glad to hear..that he's helping everyone.

[notagiraffe]

Really? He's really nice and friendly.... Have you seen him here yet?

[mineralgirl]

I know..I have. It was nice to see someone..familiar here.

[notagiraffe]

I'm glad... I bet he's a really nice friend...

[mineralgirl]

He is. We..didn't see each other much..back home, since I tended..to stay close to home. But..he is a nice person.

[notagiraffe]

Did you not live in the same place?

[mineralgirl]

Well..we lived..in different towns. They weren't far away..but I wanted to stay close..because of Amphy.

[notagiraffe]

Who... sorry who is Amphy?

[mineralgirl]

Oh..she was my Ampharos back home. She powered the lighthouse..so that sailors wouldn't crash their ships.

[notagiraffe]

That's a really important job! What's an Ampharos?

[mineralgirl]

It is..and an Ampharos is a type of Pokemon. They're large, yellow..and can produce a lot..of electricity. They're..also rather nice..to hug..and talk to.
