Aisu Himura's Story

The humidity of the bazaar quickly became heavier with the air dampening to that of a tropical swamp. Most of the patrons wondering throughout the bazaar would notice the rather accelerated change of humidity. Honestly no one would know where it came from or how it arose possibly from one man in particular that hadn't been there before. His attire seemed out of place for the area and the oddities of the people. Aisu wore a pair of slim fit jeans, converse, and a slim fitting hoodie of some modern eastern nation of the planet Earth. The sword he carried though stuck out a bit more then anything else a black sheath wrapped with straw string. The handle of the blade wrapped in brown ray skin and guard that of roaring waves. The smell it exuded was salty like that of the sea the smell lingering where ever he happened to walk as he drifted slowly through the crowd merely unnoticed by most.

Puzzled by the sudden change in the air, Xanth JR. smacked his lips for a few moments and sniffed the air, causing him to scratch at his chin with one free tentacle, seeming more puzzled as he commented to himself; "Most of the unusual of the comparing to the location of the place i am in. I was not of the knowing in the fact of the land being of the near to waters of the sea of which it is currently of the ponging.", he blabbed to himself as a number of other citizens and travelers commented to their friends on the sudden humidity themselves, and showing no notice to the Yellow Toothed One's babbling.

The little purple creature was beginning to feel lonely already, and began looking around hopefully for someone on their own in hopes of them not shunning him form conversation. His colour shifting eyes caught site of a young man dressed in slim fitting jeans and a hoodie, carrying what appeared to be a sword in a black sheath upon his back, and seeming to be travelling alone.
Xanth JR. hastily scurried alongside the humanoid and quickly babbles; "Greeting to you of the male variety! Has not the air of the place which we are of the being in have of the sudden in changing? Speaking of the place sin the being of the in variety, where of the locations are we of the being in? I am Xanthodont JR.!", plodding alongside the stranger, with a cheerful look upon his face, waving his tentacles about frantically as he chatted with the man. He continued following him, hoping for a reply.

Aisu looked over at the creature his face having a rather cold piercing look to it at first then a more surprised look as he realized what was talking to him. The rapid change of facial expression from that of cold and menacing to surprised would look rather comical to those around them.

"What do you want with me? What manner of creature are you even?" Himura was too caught of guard to even mind his own manners as the words quickly came out of his mouth. His mind raced even faster at the mention of the climate change seeing as he didn't seem to notice much of anything in the rapid change of humidity then again he was the cause of it.

Xanth JR. tilted his head in puzzlement and intrigue, much like a confused pet dog, of Aisu's sudden surprise at him simply engaging in what he deemed idle chit-chat. I was most perplexing for the chaos spawn child, rubbing his tentacle against his scalp before replying to the young humanoid.

"Were you not of the comprehension of the listening of the telling to the you of my name? I am Xanthodont JR.! I am of the race of the folks of the known of the naming of the same as of the title of the referring to myself that is my name. We are many. As for of the desire of the wanting of the interactions from the one that is you, I simply be of the asking of the location of the place of that we are of the being of the in. I also be of the having of the simple of the ways of the chit chat and the asking of the title of the name that you be of the referring to the person that is yourself.", he nattered away tirelessly.
This time his words had a bit of puzzlement in them, seeming to unable to comprehend on how the young man didn't understand him the first time round. The people of this world were so strange, being shocked from a simple person just giving polite conversation. He merely shrugged it off however, and politely grinned at the man, baring his yellow mass of teeth and staring at him with full expectations of the man undertanding him this time, though in truth it was often unlikely at best wit his kind.

Aisu stopped his forward movement quite abruptly as he began to look at the creature before him. Though his mind was on what to say to the creature that actually took notice of him in the crowded bazaar.

"My name is Aisu. How can you see me after all? Most people just don't seem to notice me." Aisu demonstrated this by waving his hand in front of random persons walking by or moving objects that people seemed to be astonished that they even moved.

"I am not one of the easiest people to see after all. Now why of all the people to chit chat with would you choose me?" Aisu continued on walking an already prescribed trail as if he knew where he was heading.

Xanth JR. seemed just as surprised as Aisu originally was, unable to full comprehend why no-one else seemed to notice Aisu's actions, following along after him, thinking carefully about his question with crossed tentacles. He then opened his jaw-heavy maw to finally say; "Greeting to the you Aisu. I am of the great in the puzzlement of the occurring of the events of the happening of the transpiring there was. I am greatly of the unable to tell of the reasons of the greeting, mere of the coincidences and i am also of the immensely unsure variety of the knowing of the why i am of the able to be of the seeing of the one that is yourself. Are you of the spiritual of the forms in the terms they are the referring to as a ghost?"
He kept following the apparently incredibly difficult to see young humanoid, seeming more and more perplexed with each word he spoke, but glad he had something to do now, which was follow this stranger, and was becoming a bit fascinated with him as well. He swung his bronze suitcase a she walked, pondering on what his mother, Xanthodont, had said about ghosts.

"I am more in the sense a lesser god. That being said I can be seen but most people do not take the time to notice. Me being a ghost though is quite contrary to what I really am. I am quite solid as most humans are." Aisu continued his gait as he along his way with the other creature at his side pondering what to ask next.

"What does your race happen to be exactly?" He asked after contemplating what say. The clack of the sword in his left hand occasionally tapping his leg was all that could be heard.

Xanth JR. stopped in his tracks in confusion, blinking with a blank expression for a few moments. This young man was a god? Not a phrase the little chaos spawn child was expecting to hear, and apparently just difficult to recognize. He merely gave up on trying to figure it out, god magic he guessed. He stared blankly at the sword he held sheepishly as he followed by, remembering his mother's words; 'Never make a deal with a god.' Good thing he wasn't making one then, Xanthodont JRs. never wish to annoy or disappoint their dear old mum.

Speaking of his mother, Aisu was asking for what his race is, which for the odd yellow toothed one, seemed very obvious, but decided to explain nonetheless, for the god's benefit. Why a god would need explanation on anything is beyond the little purple being's understanding.
"I of the name of Xanthodont JR., am of the member of the species of the race that is given the title of the exact of the replicas of the name that is mine. We of our kind that is us, are all of the ways of the created via the spawning of the suddenly variety by the forces of the referring to as the known as magic! We are the creations of the similar in the sense of the genetics of the being in the ways of the same, and of the making and the creating of the existence variety by the one of which the are of the calling of the mane Xanthodont! She is of the godliness of the elements of the chaos variety. She's our dear old mum!" , he chattered away at Aisu, in a matter of fact tone, grinning quite proudly of is mother's ability to spawn his kind to a single whim.

He then thought to himself for a few moments, showing obvious strain in his face before asking; "How were you of the sudden in the existing into the worlds of the lands of the now?", seeming to become curious of the god's own existence. After-all, how are god's made?

Aisu kept walking even as his new acquaintance halted in place for a moment as if in confusion at what he had said.

"Have never heard of your race before then again I am mostly restricted to one planet except in this instance but then again if I knew of more places I would easily be able to move their with ease." Aisu's words came out rather smoothly to the being that went by Xanthodont JR.. Then came the next question he had to answer which seemed the being did not know much of the religions of Earth or maybe he was just that much of a lesser god still. This Aisu gave a slight smirk too.

"I am here because of a wish. When someone wishes upon us we need to grant that wish to the best of our ability. Though we are paid with a five yen coin as an offering. I came here to help someone that simply knows who I am as a god even though I am a far lesser god that has faded from the minds of most."

After nodding in agreement and understanding at Aisu's words of him being stuck on this land alone, a very ordinary situation for most races, Xanth JR. yet again was reminded how lucky his race was to know of The Warper, one of their fellow species member's grand devices. He grinned to himself smugly about that, before listening to Aisu's explanation of gods with interest and fascination, thoroughly drinking in this new information. He also seemed a bit surprised he had not heard of his race before, though surprisingly few did, despite how wide spread they were. He supposed this was proof that the multiverse was unimaginably colossal.

Pushing his thoughts aside, he was curious of Aisu's mission, seeming to grant the prayers of those as long as there was an offering to maintain his own existence. Pretty interesting stuff.
"What of the variety of the prayers of the hopes of the one who is wishing of that they are asking for the acting of the out of the one that is you who is the being of which they are of the referring as there deity? And I am of the questioning in the ways of curiosity on the one who is this person who is of the wishing of the assistance of the one that is of called of the beings that are know as gods., he asked quizzically, following Aisu along quite cheerfully, as he also gazed around at the various stalls in the area, wondering if he should browse for a bit, but was worried he may loose track of the lesser god, and by extension, cut his meeting with a deity short. He gave up on the idea a she continued following him eagerly.

Little did the people fleeing into the sewers know but they would have their own fight to face. The fight on the surface was one thing but the fighting that would take down in this cramped space would soon possibly turn the entirety of the sewer into a literal butcher shop.

Emiko Touko landed, wheezing from the rush. "All right, Unfezant, return. Now to give Burgh his marching orders. Knowing him, he'd likely favor Sticky Webs so our guys can safely unload on them from a distance."

Where else would Touko be? Still directing traffic and giving orders, this time barking into her Xtransceiver at an old friend.

"I don't care if you're having the shits right now, get your ass to Virbank and help Roxie, I am not having some of my best backup bottled up!" She was clearly channeling her inner boss bitch as she shouted at the troops to start moving up to gain ground and engage the NRE forces, who had brought knives to a gun fight...and the UPL had orders to shoot to kill, forcing the enemy Pokémon to choose between protecting their Trainers and being effective combat units.

"Burgh, get your big boy boots on, let's show them they picked the wrong side in this fight!" After giving everyone their marching orders, she moved to hold the Skyarrow Bridge, the gateway to the eastern part of Unova. The Striaton leaders were strong, but not as strong as the Shadow Triad...and she couldn't bear the thought of the enemy getting all the way to her home town.

Touko biked quickly across the Skyarrow Bridge, retreating to Pinwheel Forest to establish a command post deep in the woods. The stage was set, now everyone just had to play their part and hope she started her first war on the right foot.

Emiko Touko couldn't believe it. Her side was...winning? "I guess that's what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket! Melaine may be amazingly strong, but everyone else is a PUSH OVER! Fire teams, move up, they're just about to break!" Then something came on the monitor in one of the Nacrene warehouses where she had set up her command post, getting a good view of the action as well as directing logistical traffic and protecting the east end of the Skyarrow Bridge from a surprise attack. "Wait, no, not the fact that they're flying in using super strong birds, I can get Skyla to worry about that. I'm talking about the dude by the ice cream shop, he's way too calm about this. Get a team over there, assume hostile. I want him alive."

Stay calm, Touko. It's just like a normal battle. You've got this, she repeated to herself, one hand on her chest as she rode the edge between exhilaration and over-stimulation.

Emiko Touko was positively giddy, watching the glorious sight of victory unfold! "Burgh. They're retreating. Mop up any stragglers, take captives if you can. James, grab Allen, you two are with me. I'm going in after them. We have a chance to end this war right here before more people get killed."

Wren's ears perked up at the comment, causing him to turn around from the path he was walking. What was this war the stranger was talking about?

Ahem, excuse me. What did you just say?

he inquired, lifting his hand to his chin in puzzled repose.

Touko skidded to a stop on the bridge as some random citizen asked her about some sort of war going on.

"Wherever you've been, you'd better get back there. Some Diancie went all power trippy and established her own freaking Diamond Domain right over in the harbor there, and recently declared war on us. If you're a strong Trainer that can take out the Shadow Obelisks that have popped up and are juicing her up to where not even I'm a match for her, that's great, but for now I have holdouts to mop up and capture. I'm trying to rendezvous with a couple of my friends so we can strike at the enemy territory, so with all respect..."

And then she just gave Wren a hip check out of her way before continuing to the Castelia pier to meet up with James and Allen.

"Ah, James, it's been a while. Good to see you've been well. Who's your friend and why does he look like he wants to battle me? We do not have time for this, we can't just let the NRE retreat to lick their wounds and prepare for the next attack. I managed to catch them by surprise this time by having the troops use guns in addition to their Pokémon, but they won't fall for that again."

Wren Harrington stood in surprise, stunned by the sudden interposition. Not quite an experienced trainer just yet, he stepped back a bit as the commotion unfolded.

Yes! Well, thank you ma'am!

he stammered, unsure of which direction to go. Looking eastward, he turned on his heel and shouted over his shoulder,

Thanks for the tip! I'll be back soon!

came his echoing response before he disappeared off into the wilderness.
