Raze was lying unconscious on the ground, motionless, but after some time, finally waking up, looking around completely confused on what was going on, seeing completely green grass and some trees scattered around, until he looked at himself, surprised and even more confused, how did he turn into a Pokémon? Was it that portal that did this? Was it the portal that made him change into a Riolu and transported him into this place? He got up and started walking around the place, with no idea on what to do or where to go.

As Raze began to come around, he could hear murmurings not too far from where he was laying in the warm grass. "B-but Hiro, we don't want to get involved with them, do we? I mean...what if this guy's just in trouble or something? We could get in trouble...."
"You've gotta be kidding me, Riley." a second voice muttered in a more annoyed tone. "The guy's unconscious in the middle of the field. What're we supposed to do, just walk away and let him get ravaged?"
"W-well no, b-but still..."
"Besides, I we help him out, maybe we can get in their good graces. I mean, how cool would it be if this guy came to help us because of this in the future? It could be great having a friend-"
"H-hey, Hiro wait, he's getting up!" the first voice exclaimed. He had apparently noticed that Raze was starting to get up and move.
As Raze looked around, the source of the two voices would become fairly obvious. Nearby, a Sandshrew was looking at him with his hands on his waist while standing beside a Buizel with a look of surprise and uncertainty. When Raze started moving away, the Sandshrew reached a hand up and put it on the Riolu's shoulder.
"Hey, buddy, hold on a sec, will you?" he asked. "Y-you were just conked out here in the middle of nowhere. Maybe you shouldn't just be walking around so quickly."
"Yeah...what are you even doing out here anyway?" the Buizel asked, folding his paws across his chest. "I didn't think you Riolu guys would be anywhere near this part of the plains...."
The two Pokémon looked at Raze, as though expecting an answer. To them, the Riolu looked rather lost, so they didn't seem to have any plans to just...let him walk away.

He quickly looked at what touched his shoulder, a Sandshrew, and behind him was a Buizel, and he could understand them perfectly, anyway, what were they doing there, were they enemies or allies? If they were enemies he would have no way of defending himself, he was new to this body, and didn't know what moves he had at his disposal, he thought since he could understand them, they would understand his speech aswell, "Who are you? What do you want with me?" He said in a serious and somewhat unkindly tone, he didn't trust strangers, and for how long he has lived, he couldn't trust anybody, especially in a new world, he took a few steps back and looked at them.

When Raze reacted how he did, the Sandshrew withdrew his hand, glad to have merely managed to get the Riolu's attention. "Hey man, you know it should be customary to give your own name first before asking the names of someone else." he muttered, mildly perturbed by Raze's attitude toward them. "Besides, is that any way to talk to people who just-?" But before the Sandshrew could continue, the Buizel stepped up and tried to interrupt him.
Sorry about him," he said, giving a small apologetic bow of his head. "He can get a bit...well...easily agitated." he said with a small smile, trying to act as friendly as he could. "A-anyway, we don't really want anything with you. We were just wondering why you were laying unconscious out here in the middle of the field. It's...very rare to see a Riolu all the way out here in the middle of nowhere like this."
"...What he said," the Sandshrew muttered bitterly. He was clearly still not happy with Raze, but he held his tongue for now.

Raze looked at him, perhaps he should tell them, but then again, they would think he was crazy, he thought for a moment, at least he can give them a name, "You can call me Raze" He continued to look at them, the Buizel seemed nice enough, but apparently he got onto the Sandshrew's bad side, perhaps he was to harsh with them, "I'm sorry if I was a bit harsh to you, but it might be a bit hard for me to trust strangers" He thought once more, should he or should he not tell them his story? He decided to spill the beans, "I was a human... and this... portal sucked me in, next thing I know, I'm here." He told them

The Sandshrew and the Buizel exchanged glances for a moment at Raze's explanation. "Pft. That's a good one!" the Sandshrew muttered. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot that I was a human too! And same with my buddy here!" his tone was very obviously sarcastic, as though he were making fun of the Riolu. "Oh man, it's like we're three peas in a pod! It must have been destiny for us to find you here of all places!" He then crossed his arms and glared at Raze again. "It's a bit harder for me to trust a Riolu who can't even tell me the truth."
"Hiro, please...." the Buizel murmured to his companion. "I'm sorry, Raze," he said as he turned his attention back to the Riolu he was addressing. "He's just had a rough time with Riolu in the past and he's not exactly the most trusting. And he doesn't give credence to the rumors and-"
"Of course not, Riley," the Sandshrew interrupted, shooting another glance at the Buizel. "And I wish you wouldn't either. I mean...why in the world would there be humans coming into our world? That's just a stupid superstition that some bored Pokémon started to stir things up."
The two were odd friends, to say the least. They seemed vastly different from one another, and at first glance, it seemed like bickering was a somewhat common thing between them.

The Riolu gave a sharp glance to the Sandshrew "To belive or to not belive is your choice, and I can't force you to belive me, but that is what happened." He wanted to punch the hell out of that Sandshrew, but he kept his calm, the Buizel was doing his best to keep the situation as good as it can be, be Raze felt that it can go downhill in the blink of an eye.

"Oh, look Riley, now he's trying to act all cool and stuff." The Sandshrew, named Hiro, muttered aloud. "Guys like you really annoy me. I can't believe I was actually worried about you getting hurt out here while you were off in la-la land." He glared back at the Riolu, catching the sharp glance that had been shot his way. "And I didn't really like that look much. Look, I you've got something to say, just come out and say it. You're a Riolu. It's what all you idiots do anyway."
"Hiro, stop!" the Buizel interjected. "What are you doing? Are you TRYING to pick a fight with one of them? Why would you want to pick a fight with a guy who could probably have you arrested on the spot? Besides, he's probably got some kind of formal training where we're...erm...." he trailed off for a moment, as though second-guessing whether or not he should tread on that ground.
"Where we're what, huh?" Hiro muttered in response in an agitated tone. "Weak? Not strong? Untrained? You don't have to remind me, Riley. I'm the one who had to cover for your sorry tail already once before. Keep interrupting and I might not do it again."
And there they went again. The reason the two were together must be a complete mystery for any outsider watching the scene unfold.
"And as for you," Hiro growled, glaring at Raze yet again. "I don't have the patience to deal with liars. I thought maybe we could get on your good side, but I guess that's just impossible with you."

The Riolu growled under his breath, if it were to go down in a fight, he would give it his all, even if he was new to this new form, he just wanted them to have a sense of honour, but he doubted that, the world is cruel to anyone and everyone, and he thought it wouldn't be different for him, it would never be different for him, it seemed wherever he would go, trouble would acompany him, "Then get out of here! I have no time for anybody who wishes to cause me anymore trouble" He already had his own, this world was new to him, and he didn't know where to go, but it was better to be alone, rather than with someone who would want to cause trouble.

The Sandshrew clearly did not take kindly to the Riolu's response, as reasonable as it was. Something about this situation was clearly getting under his skin, but he didn't seem to notice nor care. "Who do you think you are, telling me what to do?" he growled at Raze and his fists clenched at his sides. He was obviously very close to simply lunging forward and engaging him. "I'll do whatever the heck I want to-"
It was also obvious that Riley had caught on to his friend's agitation. "H-Hiro, come on, why don't we just get back to town...?" he urged, moving to nudge the Sandshrew to the side slightly. "We should be heading home now anyway, right...?"
"Hmph," the Sandshrew muttered, glancing over at Riley again. "...Y'know what? Why don't you go ahead. I'm sick of these guys always thinking they can just muscle their way into getting whatever they want. And this one doesn't look all that tough compared to the other one. I've been waiting for the chance to get some satisfaction out of beating one, and this might be my chance."
"B-but Hiro...!" Riley said in an almost whiney voice.
"Look, just go if you wanna go so bad. But I'm staying right here." Hiro replied without taking his eyes off of Raze. He then smacked one of his fists into his opposite palm and smirked. "This'll just be too fun to pass up."
He had obviously made up his mind if his friend wasn't able to convince him to go anywhere. The Sandshrew wanted a fight at this point, leaving Raze with two obvious choices before him. He could try to fight back and learn how to use his new body on the fly...or he could try to flee from the encounter instead. Either way, Hiro was clearly not backing down.

Raze turned to the Sandshrew, "You want to fight? Then you'll have one" He went into a fighting stance, we wasn't going to ignore that provocation, but then he wondered why the Buizel was freinds with his Pokémon, he obviously looks like trouble, wanting to fight any pokémon he sees, but that wasn't the time to ponder on such things, he had a battle on his hands, even though he had no experience in battling in this new form, he did have a few pokémon battles when he was still human, and the fights he had might help him too.

The Sandshrew's smirk widened slightly when Raze accepted his battle challenge. "Well, I guess I can't say I'm surprised, but I'm glad you're accepting the fight." he replied. "I just hope you know what you're getting yourself into. You look pretty scrawny compared to the other Riolu I've seen...well, we'll just have to see what happens, won't we?" With that, he crouched down slightly, readying himself to make the first move. He considered what the Riolu before him might do in response to his attack...but he didn't know enough about him yet to make that kind of call.
Riley let out a deep sigh. Now that Raze had accepted Hiro's battle, there was not going to be any stopping him. This fight was going to happen whether he stayed or left. But for some reason, he didn't just walk away. Instead, he stepped a few paces backward to give the two some room, deciding to observe from the sidelines. "Well, maybe this'll help get it out of his system," he murmured under his breath.
And then, without further hesitation, Hiro rushed forward. He jumped into the air and curled himself into a ball. With that, he rushed forward, spinning at an actually impressive speed and attempted to slam his ball-like body into his opponent. However, his Rollout attack was not likely to be as effective as he imagined in his head due to the type disadvantage it had, even if it did manage to connect.

The Riolu thought for a quick second, the Sandshrew quickly coming down upon him, he raised his paw, planning on using Force Palm, but the timing had to be precise, otherwise it could easily backfire, he concentraded, looking at the sandshrew coming down at him 'till the last moment, with good timing, the instant the Sandshrew touched his paw, a Yellow energy blasted from his paw, sending the Sandshrew backwards, he almost couldn't belive he did that, but then he couldn't get distracted, he focused on his enemy once more, prepared for his next attack.

Hiro's body slammed up against the Riolu's palm...and immediately felt a strong blast of energy blow him backward. The impact from the Force Palm caused him to go flying through the air and he uncurled himself as he arced, letting out a surprised cry. His air time was short, however, and he came crashing back down to the earth on his back quickly enough. He recognized the eel of a Force Palm when he felt it and he slowly climbed back to his feet again. "Not bad, man." he called over to the Riolu. "But it'll take more than that to hurt me too much. Hardly felt that thanks to my shell! But...now it's your turn. Let's see if you've got what it takes to go on the offensive, huh?"
Riley watched the battle unfold before him with a somewhat bored expression. "It looks like this isn't going to go any differently than usual," he sighed to himself, deciding to sit down as he awaited the match's conclusion.

The Riolu thought about his options, perhaps if he could use a Quick Attack to set him up for another Force Palm, it could connect, and he did just that, using Quick Attack to appear right in front of the Sandshrew's face, his paw touching his chest, and a white energy charging up, preparing to fire in a few quick moments. 'I hardly belive that the Force Palm didn't do much to him, it's a powerfull move to be reckoned with it will weaken him over if I get another few hits of him... but then again Sandshrew tend to be sturdy, I've got to be carefull about that in this battle...' He thought to himself.

Hiro wasn't sure what had happened at first. He had been watching the Riolu's movements carefully. Then he blinked. Then he was standing right in front of his face, palm touching against his chest. It took him a moment to register what was happening, but by the time he had, it was too late. "Grah...!" he exclaimed in shock and in pain as Raze's Force Palm exploded against his softer chest, causing him to get blasted backward and tumbled backward, coming to a rest on his back again, though this time only a couple of feet away. That particular Force Palm seemed more effective than before, though. This was likely due to the fact that he had struck the Sandshrew's softer chest as opposed to his hard shell.
"...Wow, he's fast," Riley commented as he watched Raze cross the distance between himself and Hiro practically in the blink of an eye. Sure, the distance hadn't really been that great to begin with, but it was still impressive nonetheless.

Raze was slightly surprised that he managed to pull that of, 'Never thought Riolu was this powerfull...' He looked at the Sandshrew "Your turn" He smirked, so far he was winning, but he had to be carefull not to become careless, or the tables could turn against him, 'Let's see what this Sandshrew can do...'

The Sandshrew took his time getting back onto his feet. He wasn't used to feeling blows directly on his chest and stomach, so he had been thrown slightly for a loop. When he finally got back to his feet, he shook his head. "Enough games," he said. "We're done taking turns. Now the real fight begins!" Then, without hesitation, he reached down and dug his claws into the earth at his feet. He then flung the earth in his claws upward in an arc, aiming to smack it into the Riolu's face using his Sand Attack move.
As the Buizel watched Hiro make his next move, he found himself more interested. Was this Riolu as attuned to his aura as the last Riolu they had seen? If he was, this Sand Attack wouldn't be any use, regardless of whether it struck or not. But if he wasn't, it would be fairly obvious.

The Riolu took the hit to his face, sand getting into his eyes, his eyes started to burn, he couldn't help but keep his eyes closed tightly, he was like a blind bat, but then he remembered, he wasn't a Pokémon trainer when he was still human, but he knew things, alot o things, Every Riolu could sense aura, why would he be any different, perhaps he could use this ability to sense the Sandshrew's actions, where it was, how far he was... maybe he wasn't so blind after all, he suddently charged at the Sandshrew, hitting as hard as he could at his face with a punch.

The Sandshrew smirked as his Sand Attack had been a success. He then took a step toward the Riolu, expecting his attack to keep him occupied for the next few seconds, which would allow him to follow up with an additional attack. However, he had not been expecting Raze to come charging in his direction immediately following his attack. He was taken completely by surprise and off-guard; as such, he was unable to properly defend himself when Raze's fist came straight for the side of his face. [g]"Grah...!"[/b] he cried out as he was struck, getting thrown onto his back at Raze's feet. "H-how did you...!?"
The Buizel let out a small sigh. "You would think that Mr. Riolu Fighter here would be well aware of what some Riolu are capable of," But then he looked at Raze with an interested expression. "...But this one seems untrained compared to the other one, but he seems to be tuned perfectly to that aura that they liked to talk about...." he murmured to himself. There was no other way for him to be able to see so clearly that he could manage to land a punch square in Hiro's face like that. He was an oddity, this Raze fella.
