"Yeah... we had some pretty nasty stuff in the jungles where I come from, as well. Especially during Blortian mating season. Going outside after dark was like suicide, I tell ya." He noticed her hand reach for one of the spherical devices at her waist. He'd ask what it was, but... long as it was transportation and didn't try to kill him or something, he was cool with it.
"It may be a good idea to find out this place's flora and fauna. And perhaps find another communication device. I wish to do science to it." Rax'aar thought aloud, closing his w.a.t.c.h.
"This transportation you speak of. What's the maximum velocity it can reach? Does it have an onboard defense system? What about a shield genenrator? Because I'd actually like to see some of that outside of Interpol ships..."

It was time for Aby to sweatdrop again. He really was from a science-fiction world. She waved her hands to try and bring him out of his mind, "It's... not a robot. We should get to the ground though, I don't know if this area will fit her. She's over two hundred pounds in one spot, after all."
Without warning Aby hopped down to where a robe ladder was. she climbed down a bit until she could drop the rest of the way. She pulled the inner most pokeball out of its holder and pressed the button to release the Pokemon inside.
Ivy the Venusaur materialized next to her, "Hey, Rah-boy! You coming?"
Due to what Venusaur's looked like, it was entirely possible from his vantage he's just see a really large flower. Ivy looked perturbed and stuck out a vine to grab a banana bunch off a tree. So now it looked like a really large flower with a vine sticking out of it. A vine with enough sentience to grab a banana bunch.
As for the "Rah-boy" line, Aby had no intention of trying to spit out the alien's name. She looked up as she waited for the alien's response.

"I'm almost one hundred percent certain that flower wasn't there before. Ah, well." Was the last thing Rax'aar said before quickly leaping down the rope ladder. Not so much climbing as sliding, really.
"Now where's this transportation de-de-de-de-BLORTIAN!" The young alien seemed absolutely perturbed. He quickly turned around in an attempt to do the Fragrerian life run... until he hit what appeared to be a wall... so the bridge WAS still there!
And, of course, being a man of science, he tried again. Ten more times. Before finally collapsing, hands held over his head defensively. It was then that he actually took a good look at the creature. Wait... Blortians were RED, not Green... duh. He paused for a moment before a small scowl formed on his face.
"Tsk... I knew that. It's just when seeing new transportation devices, my people run into walls eleven times. Yeah. Right. Completely." He gave a small thumbs-up, hoping the gesture meant what it did where he came from.
"Right, so... how... exactly do you ride this... plantmancreaturething?"

Ivy and Aby sweatdropped. It was probably a good thing they were in a rainforest and were already dealing with the humidity.
"Hey. Hey... Hey, stop that!" Aby said as the alien she had dubbed Rah-boy stumbled back from the multiple wall smacks.
"Her name's Ivy, she's a Venusaur. Not a 'transportation device' or a 'plantmanwhateveryousaid'. You were asking about Pokemon, right? She's one of many different species and a living thing. As for riding her, there's plenty of room underneath her leaves. It'll provide some shade, too," Aby looked over to Ivy, "But you'll probably want to let her position you. She gets cranky if you sit someplace she doesn't like."
Without waiting for an command, Ivy had reached out with one of her vines and wrapped it around Rah-boy.

Rax'aar's eyes went wide for a moment. It was... touching him. Personal space issues from the past were being dragged up again.
"This is like a horror movie I saw once. It didn't end well for the Fragrerian protagonist. They used the phrase 'let her position you' as well." Rax'aar commented.
"Alright, so she's a... Pokemon, you say? A nice Pokemon, I'll assume. For my mental health. Er... salutations, Ivy she's a Venasaur. I am Rax'aar. Rax'aar Nosurname. Please don't kill me."
It was the standard thing to say in such a situation, he assumed.

Ivy frowned as well as she could and quite forcefully plopped Rah-boy just past her neck. Aby jumped up and landed just in front of Rah-boy. She patted Ivy on the head.
"You're good with vegetation. Think you can get us out of here?"
"Venus. Saur saur."
("Of course. I'm not a total idiot you know.")
A thought occured to Aby. She turned back with the kind of scary look anime females were known for getting, "If you try anything funny I'll have Ivy eat you..."
(OOC: The "translation" for Ivy's speech is only applicable if Rax'aar can understand normal animal speech as well as he understands normal human speech. The island doesn't give Pokemon belonging to my original Pokemon trainers the ability to speak understandably)

He paused for a moment. Was she... serious? Wouldn't feeding him to the Venasaur creature be unethical? Or was that... was that one of those double entendre things Zip was always talking about?
"Yes, well... thanks for the incentive, but I think I'll pass." He responded, pulling his goggles into position. He intended to scan a bit of the flora and fauna they would, he assumed, pass. It could be helpful for mapping the place out.
"I'd like to think I understood what... Ivy she's a Venasaur just said, but I honestly have no idea. Whatsoever."

"It's just Ivy. And don't worry about it. I haven't seen anyone that can talk to Pokemon. Some Pokemon can talk to humans through telepathy, but it really doesn't work in the other direction. You eat fruit?"
Aby held out a half peeled banana to Rah-boy as Ivy advanced. She figured peeling it was probably a good idea. It was mildly amusing. They were both in a different world, and yet she had way more of an idea of what was going on than the alien did.
Then again, it wasn't too odd. This world seemed pretty Earth-like. And the way he talked, his world wasn't.
(OOC: Feel free to time lapse at any point.)

He took the... object offered to him. It was, apparently, edible. That was good. He couldn't remember the last time he'd eaten. So, he did the only logical thing. He took a bite of the peel... ...which turned out to be a large mistake. It tasted HORRIBLE. "BLEH! How can you eat this... this THING?" He then paused for a moment, before taking a bite of the banana ITSELF. It was a... much, much better idea. He held up his finger as if to say something witty, before resigning to quietly eating this 'banana', thing. It wasn't long, however, before he dozed into a blissful, blissful sleep... FULL OF GIANT ROBOTS AND LASERS OF EPICNESS. Yeah... (OOC: Mmkays.  ) |

Aby facepalmed, but Rah-boy had managed to eat the proper part of the banana before she had a chance to say anything. Ivy continued on her trek, following a path she believed would get them out of the jungle.
Aby fell asleep during the trip, likely due to the heat. Ivy lifted both passengers off as dusk was falling, but accidentally hit Vlad's pokeball while lifting the sleeping Aby off. Vlad materialized and looked around confused. He noticed Rah-boy and ran up to him, giving the alien his version of a greeting.
This, of course, meant Rah-boy's pointer finger got bitten. Hard. As in bleeding. Ivy had seen Vlad run towards the alien and had a vine reaching for the Umbreon. Chances are Aby was going to be awake soon unless Rah-boy LIKED being bitten by strange black vaguely fox like creatures. Whose markings glowed from the few traces of moonlight falling through the trees.

Rax'aar awoke with a start. Something... or someone, had bitten his finger. Also oddly reminiscent of the Blorkian mating rituals. Being bitten on the pointer finger. He lifted it into his line of vision. He was... bleeding. That WASN'T part of the ritual.
The startled young alien glanced around, trying to find the source of his attacker. It was a... creature with four legs. Vaguely dark colored. With beams of moonlight hitting it. There was only one thing Rax'aar could say. One terrified word he managed to bring from his center.
"MY INVENTING HAND'S POINTER FINGER! WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE MY INVENTING HAND'S POINTING FINGEEEEER?!"

Aby kicked awake. Ivy jerked back, dropping her trainer. Vlad was licking the ground, trying to get the awful taste out of his mouth. That hadn't tasted normal in the least.
Aby muttered and stood up. She saw Vlad looking like he was trying to shovel the ground with his tongue and saw Rah-boy waving his finger around. It didn't take any effort to realize what had happened. She used Ivy as a launching post to jump over and in mid air pulled off Vlad's Pokeball.
"Vlad, get your butt back here!" she shouted, pressing the button to pull the Umbreon back into its Pokeball. She ran over to Rah-boy, "Are you going to be okay?"
She couldn't make out the exact color of blood in the limited moonlight, but she thought it didn't quite look red... this lead to her squinting at the bleeding finger.
Ivy turned around in place, looking rather comical due to her girth. She waited for further reactions before doing anything.

"This... this isn't what it looks like! We weren't attempting the Blortian mating ritual, I've never seen that creature in my life! It attacked me, not the other way around! Don't believe anything it says! I request law representation!" Rax'aar was reaching a point of hysterics, now.
"This isn't my fault! I am the one at victim here!" Rax'aar searched through his head... then he remembered what his comrade Zip had always said.
"Whenever there's a problem, punch it in the face!"
Rax'aar, being who he was, had problems punching females... therefore his uninjured fist went to his own face... rather hard. He found himself on his back.
"That... might not have been a good idea."

Aby just blinked as Rah-boy freaked out. She saw his hand go back, and fully expected to be hit. But his expression changed and he hit himself. Aby knew why. Her reaction?
"Don't treat me like I'm a wimp just because I'm a girl!" she shouted before kicking the already in pain alien in the gut. The same girl with enough agility and strength to take out four moderately skilled unarmed fighters. Kicking Rah-boy in the gut.
She was breathing heavily and glaring. She hated when people tiptoed around her because of her gender.
Ivy stared and probably would have whistled had she been capable. Instead she began looking for something to make her seem occupied. Aby was scary when she got mad.

Rax'aar THOUGHT he was in the clear. His finger had been bitten, he'd punched himself in the face. Really, what ELSE could happen?
...and that's when Aby kicked him. Very, very hard. He'd have lost his lunch if he'd eaten more than a banana. Thank goodness for that. The day just wouldn't have been so FUN if he'd vomited on top of the intense pain he was in.
It took him a moment to get back to his feet, one arm around his stomach, his injured hand going to his forehead. At this point he was taking up a defensive position. He did NOT want to be hit again.
"Y-yes ma'am! Next time I need to inflict bodily harm on someone, you'll be the first being I go to." Rax'aar noted, visibly cringing.
