[atrb=style, background: url(http://i53.tinypic.com/6zbjon.jpg);] fate is so blinding Chunhua Huang, commonly known as Chun, is currently setting up a stall in the Market of Lilycove city. She was currently gabbed in her fortune teller clothing. This outfit she made when she was booming in business. The outfit was a foregin style gab, so it easily caught the eye of the people in the market.She was clad in a dark blue kimono with silver moons and stars designed on it. She was also wearing hakama pants and a pair of wooden sandels. Taking a folding fan from her obi stash around her waist, a grin appeared on her features. Time for the game and fun to begin! "Come one! Come all!" Chun shouted as she wave her folding fan in the air to gather attention. She tossed it into the air and she swiftly caught it in a fluid motion. "Come get your fortune told by many various methods! I do Tarot! I do Palm Reading! You name it? I can probably do it! Come one! Come all!" Chunhua shouted as she slapped her metal folding fan hard against the wooden table she set up. "It's accurate and it is cheap! Try it out!" She tooked a deep breath and she began shuffling her deck. Suddenly, a burly man walked over to her and gave her a scrowl. "Fortune Telling? Give me a break! Your just a scammer!" The man shouted as he glared at her and about to slam his hand on her desk. Suddenly, a growl was heard. He looked up and saw it. Chun's beautiful yet scary Arcanine [which was half as larger then the average one]- Akane. Akane opened his mouth and let out a louder growl. "Easy Akane.." Chunhua muttered as she gave Akane a good side rub. She turned to the man and smiled at him. "I shall use you to show that I am a genuine article..." Asuka stated as she whipped out her deck of cards. These cards were elegantly and beautifully decorated. She then shuffled the deck with her eyes closed and then spreaded the card into five collums. "My favorite and most accurate way of divining ones future is using cards." Chunhua muttered as she gestured at the cards infront of her. "The more carss chosen, the more accurate the future. I will divine your future of the future recent events and a bit of your past using 3 cards. Regular cards that is. I don't want to waste my effort on people who don't believe" With that she slid 3 cards from the top of her deck on the desk with their backs facing upwards. She flipped two cards up. "Oh~This is seems good...but...." Muttered Chunhua as she glanced from her three cards on the table. "First of all, the King of Diamonds. This means you are a man of great in something. I am thinking and leaning towards wealth and status." At this the man looked pleased and a bit shocked and the crowd began to mutter about themselves."However the rest shall still need to be read. The 6 of Clubs say you right now have a success of some sort right now. I am thinking finacial?" With that again the crowd began to mutter and the man looked shocked again. "This may be good but the last card..holds your fate!" With that, she flipped the last card and slammed it onto the table. This one was an Ace of Spades. "Misfortune will come to you and you will have a choice. Change and be open minded, or suffer a difficult fate!" She glanced at the man with chilling bronze eyes. She held a hand out and in a '3, 2, 1' motion, a young lad who had a similar outfit to the man walked up the burly man. The lad whispered something into his ear. The man paled and his eyes widen. "You..You..Witch! You knew that my company will bankrupt! Didn't you?!?" The man hissed as he ran away. "Wrong. I am a fortune teller. Not a witch. I can only give paths and gives options. Not curse people." Chunhua yawned as she shuffled her cards into her deck again. She glanced at the crowd surrounding her and gave a small smile. "Is that a proof of my skills?" The crowd nodded as the mutteirng came to a sudden halt. tagged :: Ruby. But others may join! If you want to join the thread..please PM me! notes :: Whew!

WELCOME BACK MY FRIENDS

TO THE SHOW THAT NEVER ENDS!

Ah, the Lilycove Department Store, such a wonderful place! If Ruby had to pick his absolute favorite place in Hoenn, this would definitely be it. Not only did it have so many cute dolls and accessories for his Secret Base, but it also had a great array of Technical Machines that Ruby could use to test on his Pokemon for contests! People love it when you mix it up, right? The only downside to this trip was that he was forced to spend the night at the dainty motel. It had almost nothing! If had brought more supplies, he could have made it look halfway acceptable, but as it was now, it wasn’t fit for someone who demands beauty such as himself.

Full of hopes and aspirations of what he would buy as he entered the store, he could already hear a loud ruckus. At first he had assumed that everyone was as excited to shop here as he was, but then he noticed that there had been a crowd building up in one certain location. It had built up so much that he couldn’t hear or see what was going on effectively. Needing to know what was going on (Not to mention a little jealous of the attention someone was getting), he decided to get a better view of what was going on anyway.

“Go, Mimi!” he proclaimed, sending out his Milotic in the busy mall. A few people were awe-struck by the rare and majestic Pokemon, as they should be, as she lowered her head. Carefully, Ruby stepped softly on her head as she pulled up, just enough for him to see what was going on.

Fortune telling, huh? Sounds fun! He thought as he looked on as the burlesque man seemed to run off in anger. Judging by his reaction, either this girl was a horrible phony or very good at her job. Well, if someone were to test that, who else would be the ideal candidate than someone with such a rich, beautiful future ahead of him?! Whispering something in Mimi’s ear, the Water-type Pokemon giggled and nodded, lifting her trainer up above the crowd. Hoping to make the biggest impression humanly possible, he jumped in front of the crowd, in the most elegant pose he could, Mimi following him closely, hurdling over the large group of people. The Milotic wrapped herself around her trainer, eyes set on the fortune teller.

“If you really are what you say, then perhaps can tell the fortune of me. Of course, you’ve probably heard about me, I mean who hasn’t?” he proclaimed, striking a pose and pausing a moment for applause. He almost felt bad for upstaging the girl he didn’t even know, but such is the life in the entertainment business!

[atrb=style, background: url(http://i53.tinypic.com/6zbjon.jpg);] fate is so blinding Chunhua blinked at the pink pokemon..the Milotic. A Miltoic Eh? Well, those were pretty UNCOMMON due to how carefully they have to be raised. She glanced at the Milotic and suddenly clutched her head and closed her eyes. She was having a rabid vision of the past. This was due to the aura of the pokemon standing wrapped around Ruby and them being closely bonded. She opened her eyes and they have an unamused look to them. "Ruby right? The Ruby who hates dirtying his pokemon? Ruby who tends to be vain about appearances?" Chunhua stated with a sigh as she shuffled her cards. She glanced at Ruby then suddenly her frown slowly lifted from her face.A gentle look appeared and it wasn't as harsh as before. "Ruby as in the one who helped stopped the Weather Trio? Ruby who used to have a legendary pokemon Ruby? PokeDex Holder and Contest Champion Ruby?" She then picked up another deck. This one was more worn out. It was her Tarot card deck. "Since one famed and had such troubles, I am doing this for free with my tarot cards which is rare." Chunhua stated with a chuckled as she rapidly shuffled her tarot card deck. This time the shuffling was at inhuman speed and her hands were a blur. This was due to practice of doing this multiple times over and over. "Be warned. I may be accurate at the present and past..but the future? I only gives paths, options, and light ways to take." With that she slipped 6 cards down. "Two cards for past, two for present, two for future." With that done, she flipped the two past cards. They were the Fool and the Chariot. The Fool was facing Upward. The Chariot, however, was facing downward, "Hm..Figures. You got those two for the past. The Fool Represents you greatly.." Chunhua sighed and pointed at the Fool with a grin on her features. "No, the Fool isn't a bad card at all most of the time. It means you have infinite potential! You have everything you needed but you got to unpack. However here is a message of warning from it: While it's wonderful to be enthralled with all around you, excited by all life has to offer, you still need to watch your step, lest you fall and end up looking the fool." She glanced up and whispered in a soft tone that can only be heard by Ruby. "Maybe this talks about that incident with that green dragon of the sky?" She then glanced at the next card and gave a shrug. "The Chariot. Another complicated yet difficult card. It represents unity. However it can also represent travel. I suggest the travel/trip. Maybe it was you moving to Hoenn? Perhaps you didn't like that. The upside down or inverse position refers to the opposite meaning it usually haves. Or maybe it was because of the disapproval of someone? Like a family member?" She then continued to flip the two other cards. They were the the Wheel of Fortune and the Strength. Both pointed upwards. "These show you have changed and grew stronger. The Wheel of Fortune represents, of course, change or luck. Your luck changed on the brighter sides of things." She then gestured at Strength with a smirk on her features. "Connected with Strenght, which means combing two strengths, I think it means you teamed up with someone. That someone you know and help brought this change of course." "Now..the final two.." Chunhua stated as she flipped up the two cards. Both were upwards: the Tower and the Lovers. She glanced at Ruby and crossed her arms acrossed her chest. "This is tricky..But from what I gather, it means great trials confront you. Crisis, Chaos, Disruption...This is what the Tower can mean. Meaning bad things are on the horizon..But on the lighter note!" She then pointed at the Lovers. "This is a typical sign of someone is in your feature. I am guessing it was the one who Strength represent. But because of the Fool it has anohter meaning. It means that you, the Fool in this layout, have the choice. Do you want to have that precious someone near you and hold dear..or lose it? But from what I am seeing..the Lovers are pointing towards the good direction." With that said, she shoveled her cards into a pile and began shuffling. She then placed them back into her vest pocket. tagged :: Ruby. But others may join!

WELCOME BACK MY FRIENDS

TO THE SHOW THAT NEVER ENDS!

Ruby was excited to get his future told, seeing as how he believed that only wonderful things awaited him. He had his whole future set out ahead of him, after all. His excitement cooled a bit as he listened to the psychic listed off some of his greatest accomplishments. She hadn’t proved anything yet, of course. Most of what she said was common knowledge, although he did get a little frustrated when she mentioned his vanity. The coordinator WAS famous, after all. And his look was very distinct. Except for one thing… how she knew that he had used Celebi. No one outside himself, Sapphire, and maybe someone closeby should have known that. Even then, when history was changed it should have been only him and Sapphire that knew it happened… she wasn’t much of a gossip.

As she began to flip her first cards, he put on his glasses, intensely focused on her predictions. She had enthralled him into her predictions, whether she was legit or not. The Fool card did sound a lot like him. When it came to performing, his potential WAS infinite. He was taken aback by her mention of the Rayquaza, since not many knew about that legendary’s involvement. He wasn’t totally convinced by her mention of his move to Hoenn, since his family’s move was all over the news since Nor-… Dad is a Gym Leader. While he was skeptical of the predictions of the present, she was completely right… he had gotten stronger, and his luck had been better since he had gotten to Hoenn. He blushed a little as she mentioned the other person that influenced him to grow stronger… he knew exactly who she was talking about, especially considering how much Sapphire had influenced him.

Her predictions of the future was what really caught him off guard… she mentioned something about dark times coming. He had heard some rumors of some of the teams that had been gone for years were resurfacing… perhaps that was what she talked about. That serious thought was completely overwritten by her prediction from the “Lovers” card. His face became flustered, as he thought back. There had seemed to be something that Sapphire was always referencing back before the battle, but for all he had tried he couldn’t remember it. He had to admit to having feelings for her, but she had been gone to train lately, so they haven’t really had time to talk… Okay. This fortune teller was legit. But he need more information, not only for himself, but for everyone, if her prediction of dark times ahead was true. But they needed solitude; he didn’t want to cause uproar. Putting on a cheerful disposition, he faced the crowd, bowing before them.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I can confirm that this lady’s predictions are 100% accurate! Unfortunately, I’m going to need to borrow her for a few minutes,” he proclaimed as loudly as possible, hearing a few jeers and murmurs from the audience. He smirked, and continued his speech.

“Of course, I wouldn’t be such a great performer if I didn’t provide you with some entertainment! Allow me to introduce my Pokemon!” he continued, pointing toward his Milotic, who struck an elegant pose. “Having released its body with its heart, it shines with overwhelming beauty. Possessing the Marvel Scale, this is the Pokémon Milotic—Mimi!”

Taking out another Pokeball, he released another Pokemon, fearing that Mimi wouldn’t be able to stall for long enough. A bright red light filled the floor of the Department store as the small, but adorable, Popo came out, smiling at the crowd in front of her.

“Regardless of the effects of time, the smartness that this body encompasses never changes. Hopping between rain, sun, and snow with Forecast, this is the Pokémon Castform—Popo!” , he announced, revealing his second Pokemon. As the audience stood in awe of the two wonderfully raised Pokemon, Ruby turned around, whispering to his Pokemon to stall as long as they could.

“Come with me. We need to talk,” he whispered to Chunhua in an entirely serious tone, pointing to the elevator. It would be the only place that they could have some relief from the crowd for a while. He wanted to see if her powers could be useful in predicting what battles were coming up next.

It seemed this Coordinator didn't like her comments about his vanity. Well, it was true. From the glimpse of his past she saw him treating that Feebas poorly before he managed to redeemed himself. Luckily, the Feebas evolved into the Milotic. Or was it fate and destiny? Either way..she didn't care about that. What she DID care about and frowned upon was him treating that pokemin like dirt..sure he might have changed..But he probably still judge by appearance by a bit. The past and present cards didn't seem to convince him. Sure, she could say that she was trying to keep it vague as possible. We didn't want the public know everything? From his bad relationships with his father and family issues. They should keep it silent and hush. The spread of word and gossip will spread quickly afterall. When it cames to the future..she knew she got him. He probably want answers. Answers to what she knows. So she watched with no emotion when Ruby tried to take her away from the crowd. He called upon Mimi and Popo to distract the crowd. With an impassive look, she followed Ruby to the elevator. "Well..what do you want?" Aglaia stated in a calm tone as she pulled down her hood. Her pink hair and blue/green eyes are exposed to the world now. "Before we start..I might as well tell my name." She calmly stated as she continued to shuffle her hands her cards. "The name is Aglaia. Just call me that. No need to tell me my last name..not that I care about THEM anyway." When mention them, she gave out a snort. As in telling she wasn't on best terms with her family.. TAGGED Ruby!THEME music CODED BY ☂RAINBOWRAMA FROM OTE!

WELCOME BACK MY FRIENDS

TO THE SHOW THAT NEVER ENDS!

Ruby impatiently tapped his foot as he waited for the elevator with the fortune teller. There was still a seed of doubt, and he didn’t like that she lacked the certain… flare for performance that he did. In her profession, she could have easily built up the cards a bit more for the audience. Oh well, even Ruby seemed to be a critic at this point. As he heard the DING of the elevator coming to the floor, he rushed in, pulling Aglaia with him, while simultaneously pushing the attendant out. Not a word was spoken, which left the worker flabbergasted as the elevator began to ascend.

“Aglaia, huh? I guess you already know me well enough, so no need for introductions there,” he said, chuckling to himself as he went over to the controls of the elevator, hitting the emergency stop button. It wouldn’t help for long, but he was trying to keep this conversation short. He sighed as he got back up and faced the woman… he was pretty sure she was the true thing by now, but he couldn’t have true faith in someone he just met, could he? Anyway, it was time to ask some important questions.

“Okay. I believe that you are the real thing. But how clear is your fortune telling? Could you tell me specifically what in the future is going to happen? Especially with that ‘Crisis, Chaos, Destruction’ thing,” he said in an unusually serious tone. He had heard rumors of some new team resurfacing, and if they were anything like Magma or Aqua, then he’d have to be ready for when they surfaced. Although he didn’t like to battle often, there were some special instances where he would… as long as it was to protect something important. Like beauty, for instance!

Ruby thought to himself for a second that he should ask about her second prediction about the future, but quickly dismissed that thought to the farthest part of his brain. He’d rather not know something like that in advance.

[AGLAIA]

Aglaia raised an eyebrow. He believed her eh? Well, she guess she did convince him with her facts and her predictions. “I normally don’t do this thing for free. But troubled times and dark future calls for drastic measures. The free part is why it lacks flair.” Aglaia grunted as she gaved a sigh and rubbed her forehead. Oh so troublesome. The future is dark, but to show it’s extent..she has to show it.

“This team is way different then Magma and Aqua. In fact, it is a much larger scale. So big it contains at least all over the globe.” Aglaia muttered as she glanced at Ruby with a narrowed eyes. “This Team, who name I still don’t know, is made up of multiple teams combinded together. The exact goals I also don’t know. But they are at least containing Rocket, Team Galatic, and BOTH Magma and Aqua.”

“How they got together? Magma and Aqua? I have no clue.” Aglaia stated with a shrug. It was true, Magma and Aqua hated each other. So much they point fingers at each other and shout and scream. Sometimes the fights escalate to even more drastic. Oh dear Rayquaza, if they can work together..think of the more damage they cause.

“I can say a few things though. They will be more deadly then ever. More members, more organization, more in for the kill.” Aglaia stated in a hush tone and she gradually pale and clutched her head. Quickly, she grabbed Ruby’s hand. “I don’t like doing this..But maybe THIS will prove my point.” With that the room went black as if all light had faded. Suddenly, a hall of doors appeared around them.

“Welcome to where I store stuff like visions and glimpes of the past. I rarely do this..so be glad you get to see a vision up close and personal.” Aglaia stated as she opened a door. Time for show time! Let’s see what this world got for in store for us! As if they were watching a film, images filled their heads. Like multiple video clips of all sort. One was of was the Meeting of Ruby and Sapphire and the Rayquaza accident. Then Ruby’s and Sapphire’s journey and their adventures. Then suddenly, it went dark then white all a sudden. “That was the visions of the past. BY scanning a person’s aura I can view their emotions and their past. Also using Aura I can glimpse the future.” Aglaia stated in a soft tone and gestured at the whit area.“The whiteness shows that a vision is about to play. Get your popcorn and sit down!” With that,she snapped her fingers and two chair appeared and a bundle of popcorn. Aglaia took the popcorn and began eating it. She snapped her fingers and the whiteness faded back to black. The next visions will show the possible outcomes.

The landscape was torn and ruined and devoided of beauty. Flashing forward, they see a man with brown hair working on computer. It was bill and he was trying an experiment. Suddenly, a weird capsel appeared. Flash forward, a blurred theif was stealing the new object summoned forward with the Mystery Gift. Flashing forward again was another site. This site was a horrible machine radianting of black and purple energy. A loud crackle echoed throughout the air and the environment around them went cold. Pokemon yelling was heard and shouting out of fear. Flashing forward again, this scene was the champions of all regions [plus Cynthia] talking but it was mute. The final scene was of a festival begin attacked and chaos running rapid.

Aglaia quickly closed the door and snapped her fingers, causing reality to be shown again. “That was just a few seconds in reality because that happened in the mindscape.” Aglaia mumbled to herself as she glanced at Ruby. “Now you know and glad know what might happen in the future? Note this isn’t set in stone. It can change.” With that, she finally let go of Ruby’s hand and shoved her own hand into her pocket.
