Snap Crackle Pop

Alice stopped running after she came across the strange bug, being amused by it. She had run in a straight line away from the highway and she now took a left, always making sure she knew what direction the main road was so that she could head over there and hitch another ride when the coast was deemed clear. As she watched the bug she tucked her ponytail under her jacket, being annoyed at how it was swinging around as she ran. She decided that if it came to it, she may have it cut short to trip up the police, if only for a short while so that she would not be recognized from behind as quickly. She continued on at a brisk pace in the direction previously mentioned. "S'cuse me," She murmured for no particular reason as she walked past the bug.

In a sense, Alice was freed from the high tension and awkwardness that was felt between herself and the driver, who had picked her up and agreed to drive her to what would be the 8th city she went through on the run. She was not good with strangers, she didn't have much to say to them but this guy kept making attempts at small talk, it didn't help that the vehicle was very small and crammed. Alice sat up front, as the back was too crowded to be used. Her backpack was clutched in her arms, the weight was notable as it was sitting on her legs. Watching the outside go by at a steady pace, she was running the recent events through her mind, thinking of all the things that could happen. Transportation was no problem as she had become rather adept at hitch hiking and she wondered what would people do if she said that she was an Awakened and asked to use their vehicles. A onesided grin flickered on her face for a moment before going back to the same blank, slightly cold default expression. As Alice heard the sirens, the thought of what might happen if she was caught sent a cold shiver up her spine but she quickly steeled herself. She noticed how there were no other visible cars in the area. She looked to see if the driver was speeding but this was not the case and with a icy dread she realized they have found her. Maybe they were tailing her all this time, from when she first got in the car near the exit of the last city, they were just waiting for an isolated area like the highway to confront her, maybe not. Maybe they were after the car for a reason, not involving herself, but she knew when the driver pulled over, they would recognize her. It would not matter. As the driver pulled over she nodded curtly to the guy behind the wheel, a very large man with bushy red hair and jolly brown eyes. "Thank you sir," she said, getting out of the car before it came to a complete stop. He gave her a look. "Hey wait, where are you going?" He asked in a surprised tone. Alice didn't reply and she started running, the cop car that was pulling them over had came to a hasty stop and the partner and the driver were getting out. Looking to her left, she saw there was a steep valley and to her right was a heavily wooded area at a slight upward slope that evened out for a few yards before going up at a gradual pace. The right is the right way, right? She already had a few yards on the officers and she was a good sprinter. Just as Alice got up past the initial slope she heard the sound of a gun cocking. She turned around, facing the two officers who stood at the base of the hill with their guns pointed at her. There was a flash of recognition on their faces. Immediately, the lady grabbed the radio that was on her uniform and said something that cannot be heard from the distance. "Stop as you are and keep your hands where I can see them." A firm male voice said, the speaker, as Alice saw, was in his late 20's to early 30's, his partner was a female that was not much older. Her gut wrenched at the thought of seeing them there. They were just doing their job and following orders, they were just as innocent as any other person passed in the street, they just chose the wrong job. She turned around, following as instructed with her hands raised infront of her shoulders. She hoped things did not escalate. "Hello, how are you this fine morning?" Alice asked with a slightly flat tone, standing firmly on the ground. She just needed a bit more time to work out what to do to get out of this situation with no casualties. The vehicle she once was in started moving and sped off, the officers payed no attention. "You need to come with us," The lady said, ignoring Alice's previous comment. Got it. Alice laughed, a grin rising on her face and she walked forward, somewhat awkwardly down the hill, a almost crazed look on her face. "Oh really? Fine, fine, but if you manage to get me into your car, what would you do then?" She started walking forward. She was a pretty good actor, and then, some small part of her was not acting. Faintly, so very faintly, the sound of sirens were hitting her ears, more were coming. She was silently hoping they would take her bluff, she was shaking quite fiercely. "We would take you to the station, now, stay where you are and don't move!" The guy spoke up. There was now a solid, invisible wall between them, she paused for a moment, concentration before replying. "Do you think that you can keep me in the car until you reach the station?" Alice asked in a soft, menacing tone. She raised her right hand and immediately there were shots fired, the bullets stopped in mid air and fell to the ground softly, hitting the wall. She moved her hand in a diagonal slash like motion and the two officers were forced back, hitting the ground hard like they were hit with a heavy metal bar in the chest. They basically were. Alice bit her cheek for a brief moment to brace for the following dizziness and she turned and ran back up the hill and into the forest. She hoped they weren’t too badly hurt. -- There were many more officers coming, she could tell but she could not tell where. Alice was jogging at a steady pace for 3ish minuets now. She was moving as fast as she could, trying not to disturb the plants to make a clear path to her and it was difficult with all the shrubbery to full out sprint. When the amplified words hit her ears, she stopped to listen, there was a good distance between them but the voice was deep and carrying. "Come out with your hands in the air! I repeat, come out with your hands in the air, and you will not be harmed! Resistance will only make things worse!" Oh what a tempting offer. Got to pass on it though, things have got to be bad to worsen. She kept running.

Hello~! Well, I was writing my character to sign up for this and it occured to me that I should check the other previously made characters to see if there were too many accidental simmilarities and it turns out that K_H has a character with a pretty similar ability as my character. Kenneth Holmes has the ability to controle Aura and my character, Alice Feinstein, has the ability to control and absorb general energy, is this too much of a similarity? I can really easily change it if anyone wants.

That was a terrifying thought... Although, I still see it more as a girl with a cheshire grin holding a poke ball. The thing that looks like the snout of a keledo seems kind of like the sleave of a shirt.

Well, I think it's pretty difficult for a Gardevoir to actually hate it's trainer. If you have played and thoroughly completed the original Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, you learn that a Gardevoir gave it's life (Or physical body for that matter..) for it's trainer that it even stated that it's trainer was a truely horrible person. It could be different in Reborn though. I think in relation to the puzzles in the towers that you encounter, there may be a lier among them, this is speculation though and I am just trying to shape a peice of the puzzle to match the others. I'm contemplating if Radomus is completely innocent, but I think that he is still a 'good' guy. I'm also thinking that El might not be too terribly bad too, his mind is pretty far gone, but he might have been okay in the past. He could have turned to the Arceus religion as compensation for something bad that has happened or to correct a past wrong. Haha, who knows though.

Well, I'm thinking that the person in that opening screen photo might be the girl mentioned, and if we are streatching the truth farther it could also be that she has a Celebi. It might be a Lati...? In the pokemon movies Latias disguised herself as Bianca, but as that form she was mute, so there might be a person accompanying it or perhaps telepathy is involved. The Zourark theory might be possible too.

I just love this game~! I can't wait until it is finished to see what happens

Haha, that would be a pain T_T I'm thinking that Ame might be the league champion, or perhaps the sadistic girl, I cannot remember her name but she's the true leader of team Meteor

Haha, I love this game :3 I hate the rough skin on that thing T_T Evil! I love Radomus though, even just his name XD I am curious to see if he is related to Anna and Noel too, Anna said that the Amethyst pendant was a gift from her father and Radomus said that Luna has it's twin (If I recall correctly). I refuse to believe that Radomus is keeping the pendant for evil purposes.

Haha, so, this is basically just about what choices you did in the game, as said in the title. It would be interesting to see what choices lead to what outcome, as I have read in other threads that there are supposed to be different endings. My choices were... -I gathered all the Police officers before facing ZEL and Taka I didn't really do this intentionally, it just sorta happened on my quest for a growlithe -I beat the BLOODY GARCHOMP (Does this count? It should :< Not much of a choice though, more perfectionism) -At the orphanage I fought Sirius rather than Sigmund Since Sigmund was coroperating with Sirius, perhaps Sirius has more to do overall than Sigmund, even though I would personally feel the need to set him on fire after electricuting him and crushi-- ermm... yeah *cough cough* -At the home invasion I did something which lead to Saphira getting taken after blasting a hole in the wall, she was fine afterwards XD ("I told you guys not to mess up the living room..") I can't remember the choices that lead to this outcome, sorry~! -I chose Radomus (I LOVE that dude by the way) and I defeated the Dittarceus (Darceus, Ditceus....?) I had a focus band on a duskull, soft resetted until it kicked into effect and then used curse. The rest of my team were meat sheilds and I got away with one pokemon at full health So I guess this thread is just to see what you guys did and why, just for fun.

I'll help Haha, I write books so I'm good with characters, I know a bit about psychology too. I have quite a bit of free time to help with testing, particularly durring the summer ya know!
