Creep (Open)

[kayyasha]

There is close to no where to hide in a place like this. The tiniest shards of quarts and shell fragments go down until they hit the bed rock and the plants are few, far apart and no good for anything bar holding dunes together. Not even the nearby water was deep enough to hide anything larger than a Goldeen for very long. Someone or something would have seen the strange new creature plow into the sand from afar no matter now hard it had tried to stay away from every other living thing.

It had not meant to come here. It had wanted to find somewhere remote; somewhere closed off from the rest of the world to build up it's power for the final assault it would one day launch on those who hard thought they were right in letting it survive in the first place. A cave would have been ideal. It's landing was a simple miscalculation mixed in with the exhaustion that usually followed a larger scale battle of some sort.

This particular battle was within the creature.

Mewtwo hadn't thought to build up it's shields before flying over the land full of fully aware pokemon and humans. With hundreds, if not thousands of thoughts battering at it's open mind it had lost the concentration needed to fight gravity with telekinesis.

Not bothering to shake away the sand clinging to it's body the psychic kept cold violet eyes squeezed shut in some hope of gaining control again. Shields were easy to build up when it was alone without the stress of having to separate one mind for hundreds of others. Even so it had to be done now or else it would stay vulnerable on the beach.

Mewtwo took a few short but steadying breaths, holding both paws against it's head as it struggled for control.

There was no doubt; the girl was asleep. She didn't snore, but was breathing with slow, controlled breaths. She lay against a small tree, cushioned by the fallen leaves. An eevee with an ear that flopped down also snored peacefully beside her. Occasionally the eevee would twitch, dreaming fretfully.

The girl wasn't particularly pretty. She couldn't even really be considered handsome, at least to most. Her brown hair lay in disarray beneath her head, covering some of her face. She had a thin figure, but that didn't mean she looked petite. She twitched, shifting into another position, then curling up. She cracked open an eyelid.

The problem with the way Lyra tried to sleep was that she looked asleep, but she really wasn't. Everyone thought she was asleep when she shouldn't be, and tried to wake her up. Still, it was useful if she ever needed to fool someone.

Right now she sat up and stretched, yawning. The eevee beside her twitched again, then also cracked open an eye. Solar sat up as well, though her stretch was more of the four-legged kind. She looked peacefully around, once again taking in the scenery. But before she could, a strange feeling hit her.

Just to clear things up, Solar the Eevee had a special gift. Her father's entire lineage had been all psychic pokemon, but the line stopped at him. He'd inherited many, many psychic traits, which was made easier by the fact that all eevee have a dormant psychic gene in them. Her mother also was not psychic, though she couldn't really recall what she was. Solar had picked up the ability to read other's emotions, and could find somebody based on the emotions hitting her from a certain direction.

Right now she could sense turmoil and pain, something struggling for control over its own mind. Curious, and slightly worried, the Eevee finished stretching and began to trot off. Her trainer followed her just for the sake of keeping an eye on her; Solar often rushed off stupidly.

Solar was heading for the nearby beach, it seemed. Lyra followed, now curious. Then suddenly, the Eevee took off. The girl had no hope of keeping up, for two legs was no match for four.

The young eevee nearly halted when she spotted the human-like clone pokemon standing on the beach, but then she continued moving. Unfortunately, rash little Solar was absolutely fearless. Lyra halted to a complete stop behind the eevee, then started backing away slowly. She didn't want to interrupt, especially since all she had with her were Solar and Thirteen.
