[bg=f8f8f8][atrb=width,300px] LUCIAN ! Lucian was walking down the crowded streets. His normal attire, his Team Rocket uniform, had been traded in for a pair of black skinny jeans, loose fitting white v neck, and a dark grey pea coat for warmth. His cowboy boot's heels clicked on the pavement. His hands were deep inside the pockets of his jacket. His head was down, the wind gently blowing his hair back in the slightest bit. Five poke balls were attached to the belt hanging loosely on his narrow hips. He looked across the street, behind him, and in front of him. After checking all around him he ducked into an alley way. He disappeared into the shadows for about twenty minutes. After those twenty minutes passed, he stepped from the dark shadow of the alley. He leaned against the wall, pulling a cigarette from a half crushed pack in his pocket. Digging deeper he pulled out a Charizard shaped lighter and lit it. The ember glowed as he took each drag. He wasn't a huge fan of smoking, but it helped pass the time when he was looking for possible victims. A rather old woman was hobbling down the street, a black leather bag dangling off one of her boney arms. Her wallet and a poke ball were clearly visible. The left side of Lucian's lip twitched upward. He tossed his cigarette away and gave a side glance toward the alley. "Regent. Hypnosis." Two red eyes glowed from the seemingly empty alley way and as the woman neared she grew tired and slipped. Lucian stepped forward, catching her and putting on a debonair smile. "Miss, are you all right?" The old woman opened her eyes and nodded numbly. As she was fixing her shawl and dress she didn't even notice the slender fingers slip into her purse to withdraw her belongings. She thanked Lucian for helping her and waddled off on her way. As she disappeared from sight Lucian pulled her wallet and shrunken poke ball from his inside pocket. There was a small fortune inside. "Jackpot." He spoke softly. Regent had floated from the alley and was now suspended near Lucian's head. Lucian felt the poke ball grow in his hand and he clicked the button. A Sandshrew appeared and began frantically looking around. "Oh, gross." He said and called the ground type back into it's poke ball. "How about we trick some idiot trainer into trading?" The Haunter gave a bone chilling laugh, a sadistic smile crossing his disgruntling features. "Good work, Regent. We should get out of here though."

[/b] He grabbed the Haunter's poke ball from his belt and clicked the button. With a last haunting laugh the purple Pokemon disappeared in a flash of red. Lucian turned, fluffed his hair in a store mirror and began to stride down the street, weaving in and out between people.

[NAOMI FURUSAWA]

Naomi brushed through the crowded people as she strolled through the city. She had already been in her favorite town to 'hang out' and 'socialize' with her friends and since she was done with her deeds she decided to just explore out more on the busy Yanagi City, wonderfully accompanied as always, with her cheerful Chilliciano, Lily. Looking around as she walked it was obvious to know that the huge city was always busy. Every time she would visit, the shops, the stores, the streets, were always packed with people no matter what day of the week it was; And really, to Naomi that wasn't much of a bad thing. She actually liked upbeat towns like this, they were always fun surprises each time she visited the place.

But suddenly after taking a glance at the somewhat eerie alley place she passed, she stopped and peeking her head, finding yet another surprise, but this time wasn't much fun. "Eh...What is that..." Slowly mumbling to herself, she had noticed a older man and a old lady seem to be having trouble with each other--Being the nosy person Naomi was she stared at them beginning to eavesdropping their conversation. They both seemed alright (besides the fact they were in close of a alley of course) but the man's words immediately awed Naomi's attention. "Regent, Hypnosis." Wait.. eh?! Why would he--,

And quickly after realizing the fingers slip into her purse right afterwards, Naomi widened her eyes and became frustrated. There wasn't normal about that situation at all! He just stole her Pokemon and money, and got away with it! Naomi would have probably jumped in and stopped the conflict from happening...But even now, the Haunter of the other's only intimidated her to be away from the small group as possible. Naomi sometimes had to even look away at moments, because she was too frightened to even look at the thing.

As soon as the man was done with his evil deeds, once the Haunter floated out Naomi's peering eyes quickly dispersed as she backed away from them and hid behind one of the walls. Hearing the other's conversation only made even more irritated. Who did this guy think he was? Naomi knew that there were always these type of muggers at these kind of cities, but this guy seemed different, or at least more experienced then the stupid ones like she'd seen before. Although now she couldn't really concentrate on her mind hearing more of the chuckles and creepy aurora of the Haunter lurking only merely feet away from her. She could of swore she even almost fainted.

Although right after the trainer heard the Haunter re-summoned Naomi let a short sigh in relief then turned from the wall now facing the other's way, ready to show herself at the other. Now, she wasn't really thinking if she'd take what he'd stole and go find that lady who disappeared...She just wanted to know the reason and what was he doing. Lily stood behind her shivering as she now stalked the other then stopped him running right in front of him with a attempted expression, looking tough. "I saw that!" She said abruptly letting out a gulp. "I saw what you did in the alley! What was that for?! Did you just steal that lady's stuff?!" The tone of Naomi now was more of like a Mom lecturing a Son after doing something bad; but honestly, Naomi was confused how to take this. She wasn't the best at the technique of 'thinking' before you 'speak.'

notes; LOL NAOMI IS A STUPID AS ASH SERIOUSLY THIS WAS LIKE A ASH KETCHUM MOMENT OF STUPIDITY. OH, TRAINERS. What. Don't mind me barging in, eh? :>

[bg=f8f8f8][atrb=width,300px] LUCIAN ! He was walking through the street when a voice, that could have only been directed at him, reached his ears. He looked up to find a girl standing right in front of him. A single brow arched. His hands crossed over his narrow chest and he gave a little laugh. "Am I supposed to find you intimidating? What a laugh." He gave a short laugh as if to convey the matter further. "Steal? No. Borrowed with no intention of returning it. Yes. What's it matter to you anyway, kid? Here,"

[/b] he tossed the poke ball at her and began to walk past. "It's a Dragonite, I swear." She'd probably return to the dirty little ground type to his trainer, and at this point Lucian didn't care. He had the lady's money. He could have given the Sandshrew to a grunt, but he didn't really care for any of them.

He placed a hand on Regent's poke ball and clicked the center button, just in case the girl tried to continue the argument. Regent appeared in front of the girl. "Haaaaunter!" He made a mean face, his eyes glowing red and the fingers of his floating hands moving to resemble a branch of an old tree.

Regent stayed this way for a little while, until a dress shop across the street caught the ghost type's eye. He floated through the crowd and disappeared through the wall of the building. Lucian, wasn't even facing the Haunter, and knew exactly what happened as soon as he heard the screams. He turned quickly, coming face to face with the other trainer again.

"Oh. You're still here."[/b] A smirk crossed his thin, pale lips. "I get it, I'm really pretty and all. But move along. Team Ro-- I mean I have no time for this."[/b] He coughed slightly to cover up his near slip up.

( Sorry it's lame. D: )
