Yoshigamer2988YT
he opened it.. and suddenly there was a bright light...and he suddenly woke up...in bed.. it worked

Drigil
Marcus: ... hah... hah...
Marcus: [Looks around]
Marcus: [Checks his body under his pyjamas]
Marcus: ... did... what did...
Mother: [from downstairs] Marcus! Hurry up, or you'll be late for your exams!
Marcus: My- right! C-coming!
Marcus: [gets dressed, scarfs breakfast, runs out]
Marcus: Gotta... gotta take the test... gotta... not fail...
[The day passes. At first, Marcus thought all those events to be a dream, but after recognizing the questions on his exam vividly and recalling what the answers actually were...]
[... well, his memory wasn't perfect; he got through it with a 72.]
Marcus: [Walking home] Whew. A 72, huh. Dad might even praise me for this one...
Marcus: ... but what was that dream, though? It felt so... odd.

Yoshigamer2988YT
he heard the crying again

Drigil
Marcus: Like a... premonition to-
Marcus: [holds breath].
Marcus: [Looks towards alleyway]
Marcus: ...
Marcus: [smiles to self and shakes head]
Marcus: Sorry, Aqua... but I know how this decision will end...
Marcus: [turns away from alley and walks off]
Marcus: [to self] Like I said, I am the worst choice for you...
Marcus: [aloud as he enters the house] Hey, mom. Question; do you know how much guitar lessons cost?

Yoshigamer2988YT
he felt something in his pocket
he pulled it out...it was the water pokeball that was used to hold an old friend...or mistake

Drigil
Marcus: What... the.... @#$-
THE END

Yoshigamer2988YT
(the ball was empty)

Drigil
(Of course. Still...)

Yoshigamer2988YT
(sorry...I like my RPs to end happily)

Drigil
Eh. I thought I was doing an alright job.
We're done now. Don't have to bracket anymore.

Yoshigamer2988YT
I really liked it though.. I wanted Marcus to be back with aqua...he now knows the choices she's going to make...he has to undo them for her

Drigil
Well, if you want, you can have him.
I did create him entirely for the RP. I have no plans to hold onto him as a character.

Yoshigamer2988YT
(wait...I have an idea
(not only did the flower sent him back...it also put him in a different universe...but come on.. continue a little bit more)

Drigil
But... you undid everything and resolved everything in one fell swoop.
I was under the impression you wanted it to stop.

Yoshigamer2988YT
(just trust me on this

Drigil
Well... alright....
But you're drawing the pictures this time.
Where do you want me to jump back in that ending? Back at the alleyway?

Yoshigamer2988YT
he was walking through town... happy that things are back to normal

Drigil
Alright.
[RESUMING]
Marcus: 72, huh? My dad might actually praise me for this one.
Marcus: Anyways, glad that's over with.

Yoshigamer2988YT
he found a pet shop...and when he looked through a window...he saw Aqua sitting in a pen...

Drigil
Marcus: Huh. They got some weird Pokemon in to-
Marcus: ... wait, is...
Marcus: ... no! No, couldn't be...
Marcus: [Runs inside]
Marcus: [Approaches cage]
Shop Assistant: Hello, can I help you?
Marcus: Just- just... looking a bit... if that's OK?
Shop Assistant: Yes, of course. Take your time.
Marcus: ... yeah, thanks...
Shop Assistant: [returns to newspaper]
Marcus: [looks down at Aqua sternly and bites lip]
Marcus: [Closes eyes and inhales]
Marcus: [Crouches down to Aqua's eye level]

Yoshigamer2988YT
Aqua: huh?

Drigil
Marcus: Your name is Aqua. You can talk. Do not try to pretend otherwise.

Yoshigamer2988YT
Aqua: h-how do you know me?

Drigil
Marcus: [Drops arms]
Marcus: [Shakes head]
Marcus: ... um, hey, shopkeep?
Shop Assistant: Yes?
Marcus: ... can... can you put this one on hold for tomorrow?
Marcus: I, uh... I gotta bring my parents.
Shop Assistant: Oh, you are interested in that one?
Marcus: Yeah. ... I dunno. Something about it just... speaks to me, you know?
Shop Assistant: Ahh, I get it. I understand.
Shop Assistant: Well, I cannot make any promises, but we've had it for about two weeks now. Lots of people were turned off by it's... well, I wouldn't say "bizarre" appearance...
Marcus: It's just a brain in a body like we are.

Yoshigamer2988YT
as he left the shop he found a newspaper...and it said team rocket was taken down...

Drigil
Marcus; Oh! That's some good news...
Marcus: [looks back at pet shop]
Marcus: ...
Marcus: ... you know what...
Marcus: [returns to pet shop]
Marcus: Hey, uh, sorry to bother you again...
Marcus: But, uh... do you happen to have any snakes or anything like that as well?

Yoshigamer2988YT
he found a cage...and in it was 61...61 smelled Marcus and saw him as a alpha

Drigil
(Even though he's a human and not at all a hybrid of his kind?)
Shop Assistant: Uh, stay away from that one. It's pretty vicious.

Yoshigamer2988YT
(yeah.. well...he doesn't see him as a alpha just someone he can trust)

Drigil
Shop Assistant: We were actually gonna return him tomorrow, but...
Marcus: [Despite warning, approaches cage]
Marcus: ... sit.

Yoshigamer2988YT
he sits

Drigil
Shop Assistant: Wha... how- how did you-
Marcus: [shrugs] I have a way with Pokemon.
Marcus: I'll be back for the both of them tomorrow, alright?
Shop Assistant: Uh... yeah... yeah, sure...


Yoshigamer2988YT
as he walked home he continues to read the paper...it mostly explained the 2 Pokemon were free from team rocket...both are hybrids.. one was a little girl Pokemon and one was a picky Pokemon...

Drigil
Marcus: ... well, guess this is what happens when I stop caring.
Marcus: I mean, any sane person would just say "nope" if they knew these things...
Marcus: But...
Marcus: ... dunno, would be nice if I... could start with off again without a lie...

Yoshigamer2988YT
the next day

Drigil
Father: You want to be a trainer?
Marcus: Yeah... well, just as an aside. I wanna try raising a Pokemon... or two...
Marcus: You know, something to... look forward to.
Mother: Ooh, I think it's a wonderful idea.
Father: [sigh] This isn't a good idea, Marcus.
Mother: Oh pfffh. Don't listen to him, Marcus.

Yoshigamer2988YT
they entered the shop

Drigil
Mother: [Leans forward and whispers] Ever since he lost his job two weeks ago, he's been unsure of everything...
Mother: I'll take you there.
[OK, now they entered the shop]

Yoshigamer2988YT
(also i can't draw...and you only have to draw 2 more)

Drigil
(?)

Yoshigamer2988YT
(2 more pictures then ya you can stop)

Drigil
(Sounds like you have something in mind)
(... also sounds like you're commissioning me and I really should be charging money for art...)

Yoshigamer2988YT
they walked by Aqua's glass pen...she smiled as her tail started wagging

Drigil
Marcus: [subtlly puts finger to lips]

Yoshigamer2988YT
she didn't say a word...she just looked so happy

Drigil
(Just his mom's there)
Mother: Woah, wait. You've- already decided?
Marcus: Yeah. Shopkeep, I'm back.
Shop Assistant: Yup, I remember. The two of them, right?
Mother: Wait- TWO?!
Marcus: I can do this, mom. It'll be fine.
Marcus: Trust me.
Mother: [Wide-eyed, looking between two of the oddest Pokemon she had ever seen]

Yoshigamer2988YT
Aqua ran to Marcus's leg and she hugged and nuzzled his leg

Drigil
Marcus: [Pulls out wallet] The Riolu is $300. How much is sixt- sorry, the snake. How much is it?
Shop Assistant: ... you know what? You can have it.
Shop Assistant: Didn't think we were gonna get anything for it anyways. Darn thing had been lashing about ever since you left.
Shop Assistant: Like it thinks you were one of them or something.
Marcus: Eh, probably because I can relate to having my whole world being turned upside down.
Mother: Huh? What do you mean-
Marcus: [aside] Just conversation, mom.

Yoshigamer2988YT
Marcus's mom pick up Aqua... Aqua looked so happy

Drigil
Mother: Aww, she's so adorable! How could your father not say yes to this one?
Marcus: [shrugs innocently]

Yoshigamer2988YT
Aqua nuzzled her face

Drigil
Marcus: [bends down to 61's cage, opens door]
Marcus: Now, no biting anyone, got it?

Yoshigamer2988YT
Aqua let out a puppy sneeze and bubbles came out of her pink popplio nose and 61 sat down and nodded

Drigil
Marcus: [tells 61 to follow, and they leave]
Marcus: ... you know, you guys need names...
Mother: Ooh, can I name one?
Marcus: Sure. You can name the snake.
Mother: Aww... what about this one?
Marcus: Eh, dunno. I was just thinking... maybe "Aqua". Cause of her fur color and all?
Mother: Alright, then...

Yoshigamer2988YT
aqua jumped out of his mother's arms and hugged Marcus's leg

Drigil
Mother: [looks over at flying snake]
Mother: Oh, I've just gotta call this one "Viscer".
Marcus: ... what, like those flying demons in Boo Batters?
Mother: Yeah. Doesn't it just look like one?
Marcus: ... [shrugs] Yeah. I guess. Sure, let's go with that.
[Mother turns away, picks up and snuggles Aqua]
Marcus: [whispers to 61]. 61. ID change. You will now be referred to as "Viscer". Confirm?

Yoshigamer2988YT
he nods

Drigil
Marcus: Alright... and for goodness sakes, relax a bit, would you? I don't expect a full 100% success rate.

Yoshigamer2988YT
she was still snuggling with Aqua...her fur was soft and she was adorable

Drigil
Marcus: Alright. Come on, si- sorry, Viscer. Let's go home.

Yoshigamer2988YT
back home
his Dad freaked out when he saw viscer

Drigil
Marcus: So, Dad. Think I finally found what I've been missing in my life. Just like you said you would.
Father: ... yes, but... I never imagined it would be...
Marcus: Unique?
Marcus: [aside] Story of my life...

Yoshigamer2988YT
his mom showed his Dad Aqua
that night... Marcus had both Pokemon sleep with him...but he had to talk to Aqua about something

Drigil
Marcus: Alright. Aqua. I'm gonna have to be straight with you.
Marcus: Reason I knew you. Reason I knew your name...
Marcus: ... you gave me the flower.
Marcus: Let's start with that. You gave me the flower. Does that make any sense to you?

Yoshigamer2988YT
Aqua: what flower? She tilts her head to the side

Drigil
Marcus: ... OK, long version it is.
[So Marcus relays what had happened for their original meeting. From the moment they met in the alleyway, to the bite in the forest, to the transformation, to their escape from the house, to the end]

Yoshigamer2988YT
he showed her the ball...the ball opened up and something fell out of it...it hit the floor...

Drigil
Marcus: And afterwards, you pulled out this flower from seemingly nowhere and let me travel back into this... this alternate universe...
Marcus: And I had gotten you this- woah, hey, what is that?

Yoshigamer2988YT
it was the necklace...the monster head necklace

Drigil
Marcus: ... huh. How about that?

Yoshigamer2988YT
he put it on.. and he went into his monster form...he took it off and he returned to normal

Drigil
Marcus: Alternate universe, huh...
Marcus: Hey, uh, Aqua... let's... let's keep this our little secret, alright?

Yoshigamer2988YT
Aqua: she hugged him I will... Dad...
he hugged her back...and viscer joined in the hug
THE END


___________

And that's it. Again, it was fun. Just a nice back and forth story to kind of... well, sort of introduce the both of us to the world of role-playing (that was sort of my second time doing it). I hope I did an alright job, and I am most certainly open to critiquing. Just please mind there's a line between constructive criticism and unjustified badgering.

Again, props to http://www.furaffinity.net/user/yoshigamer/ for sticking it out until the end and tolerating my character's mood swings. May have tried to make Marcus a bit too dynamic at the end there. My mistake.
