To the test (Training/rp/open)

[Koga White]

"Hm? The food? Oh... I read a lot of Pokemon cook books... I don't know why but it's so entertaining." He smiled as though remembering something. The spinarak continued messing with pidgey and continued being messed with. "I don't know what it is... But i just love to see the Pokemon happy... And food helps do that the best." He smiled as his eyes shined in the light with hope.

[Galnok Darkspear]

"Oh really? Maybe I should read one of them some day." He grimaced thinking about his own attempts at cooking. They were complete disasters. Zubat was way to picky of an eater and she had almost knocked some of his belonging into the fire thinking it would be funny. He had never been that great of a cook as it was to begin with, but he usualy just bought Pokemon food at shops and markets when he was traveling through Jhoto.

Zubat must have read Galnok's mind because it was snickering at him, sort of. It was an action that didn't come natrualy to a Zubat so it looked just plain weird when they did, but galnok knew from raising a Zubat before. He glared at the zubat who then quickly became quiet. He then sighed looking back at Koga, "Sorry, Zubat was... teasing me just then, I think. Or maybe she just found something funny, she finds the oddest things funny sometimes. I'm pretty sure she was teasing me anyways." Galnok just sat there, slightly embarrased about the whole interaction with his pokemon.

[Koga White]

"You don't seem to sure on your zubats actions all the time... Maybe you should try asking her at some point?" He smiled a bit ashamed of trying to give the older boy advice as he then looked over to his back pack and stood up. His clothes just a tad dryer than before yet still dripping of water. He made his way to his back pack and pulled out a small rectangular object wrapped in cloth. He then returned to Galnok and offered the clothed item to him as he then sat again. "Maybe that will help with the cooking it was the first book I ever read"

[Galnok Darkspear]

"I'm pretty sure she was making fun of me for my most recently failed attempt at cook," He then looked torwards Zubat who was trying not to laugh, "Which was your fault it was a disaster by the way." He stuck out his tongue at Zubat who then started to snicker once more. Galnok sighed, but smiled at zubat seeing the humor in the situation.

He took the wrapped book from Koga, surprized that he would hand over something that seemed to hold personal value. "Wait are you giving this to me to keep for myself?" He unwrapped the cloth around the book and opened the book with care. It had definetly had seen alot of use over the years. Galnok's eyes darted back and forth as he scanned through the book. "Hmm there is some pretty interesting things in here. Huh, this one looks simple enough that Zubat can't possibly spoil."

[Koga White]

"Rule one you always have to remember... Cooking is NEVER simple"He chuckled to himself remembering the hundreds of lonesome nights he had to cook for himself as his parents were never around for him. He smiled slightly dim as he then turned again to Galnok and spoke softly. "That's a gift from one trainer to the other... Hopefully we can be good friends... That was a gift from my first ever friend... So take care of it" He smiled softly.

[Galnok Darkspear]

"I couldn't possibly accept this." He was taken aback. Never had some one given him something that had such personal value. Did this kid look up to him or something? No, that wasn't it. He saw Koga's face a knew that if he didn't accept the book, Koga could think that he didn't want to be friends with the young trainer. "But if you truely insist, I gladly will. I'll be sure to take good care of it, you can count on it." He wrapped the book back up in cloth and found a safe spot for it in his own bag.

Zigzagoon had woken up at this point, yawning loudly. Looking around she finally got a look at the other pokemon. To her, the pidgey looked wto small to even be a challenge and the Magnemite looked like a fun little toy to play with, if she could ever get her paws on the little electric pokemon.

[Koga White]

Koga smiled almost knowing the train of thought that Galnok had. Almost as though he expected him to do so. "Don't worry about it, I'm sure you'll do fine with it."He smiled more and turned to look at the water ripple at the jump of his own magikarp. Some shuffling could be heard as a nidoran had started moving towards Koga. He was a bit larger than the ziggzagoon and was quite lazy as he walked. He passed by the zigg and he looked at him almost examining and judging him before scoffing lightly and walking to Koga before laying down beside him and nuzzling up.

[Galnok Darkspear]

Zigzagoon felt insulted by the Nidoran. She jumped up immediately, taking a battle stance. Growling, it challenging it. Galnok quickly tried to eas the Racoon pokemon. "Zigzagoon, don't be so butt hurt." That didn't exactly work, but Zigzagoon did sit back down.

"Zig, Zigzagoon. Zagoon." It muttered about it how the Nidoran wasn't even worth the trouble and gave a challenging glare at the pink pokemon.

[Koga White]

The nidoran lifted it's eyebrow and scratched some grass at the zigzagoon with its hind leg. It had a look of annoyance on it's face as it somewhat smirked. "Nido." The Pokemon chuckled to himself before closing his eyes and lowering his ears once again beside his master and slowly began to dooze off.

Koga looked a bit worried about the two Pokemon as nidoran was the type to antagonize poor Pokemon when he'd been woken up but not nearly as much as magnemite. Koga spoke softly and appolgetic. "I'm sorry..."

[Galnok Darkspear]

"Oh it's alright. Some pokemon just don't get along well and Zigzagoon just loves to pick fights." He found the interecation a little amusing infact and wondered who would win in a pokemon battle. Zigzagoon sat there glaring at Nidoran trying its hardest not to just tackle it where lay, growling quietly to itself. How ever Zubat was thrilled to see trouble brewing and started to plot ways of insighting more. As such the Zubat once again seem to forget the world around it ater landing in Galnok's lap, staring off into space. "Hopefully you come up with nothing as usual." Galnok knew full well what that look on his pokemon face meant and was prepared to crush zubat's hopes of causing trouble. "So, Koga... What brought you to Kyozon?"

[Koga White]

"My Pokemon get along with most others." He reached down and started to pet his nidoran as the pidgey started cooing from his shoulder. The pidgey seemed to be enjoying itself and it never once seemed to want to leave it's masters side or shoulder in this case. Koga shook his head wondering that himself... What brought him to Kyozon and why is he still here. Koga seemed to be lost in thought as he stared off and the only thing to snap him back was the pidgey flapping it's wings in his ear. Koga shook his head and came back to the world around him and looked to Galnok. "what was the question again?"

[Galnok Darkspear]

"The question was what brought you to Kyozon?" He chuckled at Koga. It seemed like His zubat and a thing in common with Koga. Zubat however would be lost for several more minutes, thinking of different pranks to pull before coming up with something.. or even nothing at all for that matter. Galnok started to think of his own answer to the question, but his own reason for coming porbably wasn't as good as other's reasons.

[Koga White]

"why did i come here?.." Koga thoought to himself and started staring off into the water remember how he'd come to be in Kyozon."Well... I don't want to seem like the sad down type... but..." His eyes started to have a hint of tears dwelling within them as he began to remember the night he came here. He then let off a slight smile and looked up to Galnok. "I came here because my home and parents were killed... I'm here with my best friend..."

[Galnok Darkspear]

Galnok had not expected that sort of answer from Koga. He sorta felt bad for asing now. He tried to Imagine what it would have been like for him had he lost his parents. Sure, he had lost his mother but he could barely remeber her and his dad had taken him to live in a town that was surrounded by alush jungle full of pokemon and had all sorts of things to do. But for Koga it seemed that it had happened at an age were he could remember them and he had lost both. Galnok really didn't really know how to react to an answer like that. "Ah... Well... I'm sorry to hear that. Truely." HE sortalooked dwon at the ground having not a clue what to do.

[Koga White]

"You shouldn't be sorry Galnok... You weren't the cause of it all..."He smiled to Galnok trying to hide the sadness he kept dwelled and locked inside as he picked up a small pebble and flung it accrost the water as it skipped a couple times. The rock made Koga's magikarp jump out of the water in attempts to catch it but he had no hope of doing so. He then spoke while picking up another rock. "So what brings you to Kyozon?"
