ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Veilstone

Etran: H-huh? Oh, Siku must have asked about the glitches. We ran into one in Eterna, but that's it.

CU-Auditorium

-The silver energy returns to Shadow Ren who absorbs it, but a barrage of attacks from the rest of the group cause a hostile gaze to be cast at the group particularly Seiten Taisei.

Shadow Ren: And as for you...

-Shadow Ren then catches Ren and Izanagi trying to move Mendel away from the immediate area surrounding Shadow Ren with Autotomize.-

Shadow Ren: YOU ARE AN EYESORE!

-With an upwards swing of his rod followed by diagonal swipe, Shadow Ren causes the globe of solar energy he created to dispel and be replaced by a torrential downpour and a massive wave that could flood the entire auditorium to start to rise up.-

Ren: -his eyes wide- MOVE!

-Izanagi tried to outrun the Surf as it begins to crash, but is unable to do so.-

Izanagi and Ren: RAAAAAARRRRGGGHHH!

-Izanagi dispels midair, cause Ren and Mendel to be flung into a wall.-

CU-CoR

-Mendel calls out his concern.-

Mendel: This is bad. Slephnir has permanently increased his minimum speed! He only needs four boosts now! We need a way to permanently stunt it's speed! See what you an do while Pythagoras runs a sim with the new data!

-Mendel goes silent as he assists Pythagoras with running the sim.-

Sarah: Yeah, they've been surprisingly inactive... Considering how the last ones the J-Team faced were, I'm kinda scared that they're building up to something big behind the scenes.

Veilstone

-Etran pets Siku-

Etran: I honestly don't know much about it. All I know is that they mess with reality.

CU - Castle of Reflection

-Joseph smiles as he's protected, before noticing the sped-up monster-

Nopenopenopenopenope! Lin Bu!

-the Pokesona summons another cloud of Sleep Powder at the Rapidash-thing-

Psyche smiles and skips to foods~

CU, Theater

-Seiten dashes in front of Dune and uses Protect. The wave breaks around him before he then Bulks Up. He seems genuinely winded afterwards.-

Seiten: Phew... I don't know where he's getting the energy, but doing so much so quickly is a lot more tiring than it looks...

-Galvani, unfortunately, isn't fast enough nor is her chair fort strong enough to withstand the empowered Surf, smashing her against the far wall and dispelling Yurlungur.-

Dune: DEZIREE!

CU, Castle of Reflections

-The barrage of clubs dent and ding the side of the metal steed, and the sleep powder continues to arrest it's speed boost. Sleipnir, however, begins to glow.-

-With a challenging whinny, Sleipnir explodes into an eruption of heated shrapnel and rivets as it ejects off the old metal plating in favor of a new, pristine hide. He doesn't appear any more vitalized for it, however.-

Dune: GAH!

-The burst hits Seiten, damaging him by a fair deal.-

Seiten: Feh. At least we know to watch for that now.

-Seiten dashes in and continues to aim Low Kicks at the leg he hit before.-

Dune: This thing's a horse - aim for the legs! Cripple at least a leg - actually, make that two legs on the same side!

-The monster flies into a rage, and begins an absolutely wicked beam attack. Before anyone can react, a pulse of pure energy expands in a ring around the glitch. Dust, dirt, and debris fly everywhere. Tex is knocked over by the impact As the dust clears, Tex stands up to see the damage-

Tex: Ngh...it's more powerful than I thought...

-He looks around. Ember is down, Scout is barely standing, and Goro seems unshaken, but Cathy isn't getting up.-

Scout: I'm to old for this!

Tex: Ember, retreat! Scout, help Cathy! Johnny, let's go!

Johnny: SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

Daydre is washed into a wall. Good news, she's awake now. Bad news, that hurt, and she's still in no position to move.

CU, CoR

Lane:Way ahead of ya!

-Ilusa is battered by the attack but goes into Rollout II on the front right leg again-

-The Surf manages to remove Fitchers Vogel's barrier, leading to her putting up another-

-Phobetor takes it about as well, but is getting close to fainting thanks to the poison-

Lisa: <Hm. Alright, then.>

-Fitchers Vogel tries using a Flamethrower on Sleipnir's appendages-

-Hajime and Buddy are sitting around-

Buddy: <We've been here a decent bit, haven't we?>

Hajime: "Yeah... Not sure when we're going to be checking out Pastoria."

???: <Uh...>

Hajime: "Huh?"

-He turns his direction in the source of the voice, who happens to be a certain Carnivine-

Wakaba: <You sure we want to head that way?>

Hajime: "Uh, well, I think it'll be good to check out... Besides I'm travelling with these guys and apparently the Gym route heads that way."

Wakaba: <Well, you don't have to follow them all the time, do you?>

Hajime: "That doesn't change the fact that I want to..."

"Besides, aren't you from around there?"

Wakaba: <Er... something happened there I'd rather not deal with.>

Hajime: "...Ah, sorry..."

"I... dunno, I guess I could stick around here, but I do want to go..."

"Maybe I could leave you at my house or something while I do that?"

Wakaba: <Your house? Isn't that all the way back in Hoenn?>

Hajime: "Uh, yeah. But it's probably a good place to store my team when they're not travelling with me and it isn't Pastoria."

Buddy: <I can attest to the fact that his parents are nice as well.>

Wakaba: <Hm...>

<I'll give it a try, I suppose.>

Hajime: "Great. Hopefully it works out."

Sergey's team currently was doing another D&D session with the Super Sauropod Siblings as DM's

Tropius: <You enter a small village, there are signs of combat everywhere, some lie injured on the street, some villagers around a makeshift podium, upon closer inspection you see that a bound and gagged Leafeon is sitting on there. The villagers are looking angry.>

Magnus: <I'll make a combat roll to determine what injured the villagers.>

A nod from Amaura who rolled 1d20

Amaura: <You can't tell what exactly caused them but you can at least see that the injuries do not stem from normal attacks.>

Aicha: <Are the villagers looking strange somehow?>

Amaura: <Lets find out.>

Amaura rolled another d20

Amaura: <They seem certainly agitated, there is a glow in their eyes, as if they are really angry.>

Magnus: <Hah! I got it! the Leafeon was a mage that attacked the village!>

Aicha: <Nonono! they are under mind control from someone who forces them to fight the Leafeon who has protected the village.>

Magnus: <No, certainly not!>

Aicha: <Bet you I'm right.>

Magnus: <Bet you you're wrong>

While they were discussing they might be spotted by someone.

-Scout succeds in waking Cathy from unconsciousnes-

Scout: Ma'am, are you seriously injured?

Cathy: Ow, my head...

-She realizes what's happening-

Cathy]: Goro! Focus Blast!

Tex: Johnny, use Air Slash!

Veilstone

Aicha and Magnus now both were discussing if they should safe the Leafeon or not, both telling arguments about why they 'obviously' are in the right

Aicha: <Okay, might aswell do something now, I'll run through the villagers to the platform and try to pick up the Leafeon.>

A nod from Amaura who rolled 1d20

Amaura: <You manage to easily run through them and pick up the Leafeon.>

-Beat-

Amaura: <The villagers... do nothing, they wait.>

Aicha: <I run outside of the village!>

Amaura: <the villagers cheer while you do.>

-Outside-

Magnus: <I'll just ungag him for now.>

Amaura nodded

Leafeon/Amaura: <Thank you... heh... I... might... charged a bit too much for finding the son of the village elder... hehe...>

Both Magnus and aicha Face Plant'ed, only Loran laughed

Veilstone, past

Etran: Anyway, I should probably get going. We have some training to do. Nice meeting you.

-A couple nearing middle age are seated together on a couch in their living room, one a lady with a kind smile and her auburn hair held in a neat bun, the other a man wearing a red apron of the style popular with breeders in the area and a well groomed moustache to offset his thinning hair-

-Across from them sits a young man with brown hair and red eyes who's height occasionally has people misjudging his age. But being home, that matters little as he shares with his parents the stories of his adventures since leaving Hoenn-

-Except for the hospital visits... Or his friend getting his mon shadowed after needing a robotic arm, or that mad scientist's lab he helped raid, or that he'd been hanging out with a Kyurem from a universe, or anything about the glitches the J-team had been trying to track down.... Well, really he'd just been talking about some of the touristy explorations around Sinnoh he'd managed to get in between all the interesting stuff he wasn't quite sure he wanted to share yet.-

Laura: "My, you must have been busy to have spent so long in Sinnoh. And your... 'Condition' hasn't caused you trouble with your travels?"

Blitz: "E-heh... Actually, in some ways the shapeshifting has actually made things a lot easier"

-Blitz rubbed the back of his head as he tried to find an example that didn't include all the things he'd been trying to avoid talking about-

"I mean... I can understand pokemon now, and it give me a new way to train my team... And sure, I have to take precautions if I want to do anything about having a human nightlife. But I manage"

Laura: "Well... It's still strange to think of you... like that"

Blitz: "Like... Being a Greninja?"

-Laura tries to cover her awkwardness of that thought with a cough, but nods-

"Eh, I know what you mean... But i've adjusted. And it's still me. Just, a bit shorter and with three fingers, and able to chop things up with Water Shuriken"

Laura: "I know... And you'll always be our son. It's just not something most parents have to adjust to"

-A chime rings, interrupting the family reunion to announce that someone had entered the front doors of the daycare. Most likely a customer, it was still business hours after all.-

Derik: "Well, that's my cue. "

-Derik stands, and quickly makes his way out a door and toward the front desk. Laura stands as well, and gives her son a hug before mentioning that it seemed like a good time to get snacks for everyone. With little else to do in the meantime, Blitz soon decides to see what sort of pokemon the customer was dropping off or picking up-

-At the front desk, Derik seems to have his hands full with a cross looking young man with well groomed blonde hair and a fancy suit, the young man apparently had set a light blue Ditto and a Torchic on the counter while a shiny blaziken stands behind him with his arms crossed in either boredom or annoyance-

Rich kid: "See? I left these two mon in your care, and this-" -He indicates the normally colored Torchic, who was currently looking around in innocent confusion at being allowed on the counter- "-Is what hatched!"

Derik: "Yes... I don't see the problem, seem like a perfectly healthy Torchic to me"

Rich kid: "Perfectly boring more like! You honestly think I'd believe Dufont and Abigail" -He indicates the Ditto and Blaziken- "Here could fail to produce a child with unique plumage?"

-The Dufont the Ditto rolls it's eyes-

Derik: "Ah... I'm afraid it doesn't quite work that way-"

Rich kid "Hmph! No more excuses. If you insist on keeping the egg I'm owed, I'll just have to get Father to send his lawyers"

-The young man and his Blaziken turn and marche toward the door, the young man pauses for just a moment after opening it and turns to leave one last announcement-

"You'll be sorry!"

-Derik shakes his head as the door is slammed-

Torchic: <Chic?>

-Etran and Erebus are wandering around the city. They are open for interaction.-

Veilstone

Erin waves to Etran and walks towards him.

Erin: Hey, so can we battle?

Veilstone

-Etran sees the person coming at him-

Etran: Y-you want to battle? Okay, I guess. I-I'm Etran by the way.

Veilstone

Erin: Oh, hey Etran! I'm Erin!

Erin takes out her umbrella. She sends out Brook;

Erin: This is a standard battle, with a catch; you may only use one Pokemon, and it MUST be freshly caught. Or hatched. I do not know why you would send out a freshly hatched Pokemon, but...

Brook stares at Erin for a moment.

Erin: ...Oh, sorry, I'm rambling! Either way.

Brook gets into an Ass-Kicking Pose, or at least as close as one gets to an Ass-Kicking Pose with stubs for arms.

Erin: You send out your Pokemon and act first.

I'll be pretty much checking this non-stop for the rest of the evening, so feel free to post.

Veilstone

Etran: Newest Pokemon I have is Erebus, putting you at an advantage. Erebus, let's do this!

-Etran calms down as Erebus the Houndour jumps into battle.-

Erebus: <Sir! What are my orders?>

Etran:Alright, use Smog!

-Erebus shoots a cloud of poison from his mouth, and attempts to make it surround and damage Brook, possibly poisoning her.

edited 26th Jul '16 2:32:36 PM by etran12

Veilstone

Ultimately, the Smog did not poison Brook; however, the Poison-type move hits the Fairy-type hard, especially for such a weak move. Even if he is not actually poisoned, he is clearly lightheaded and can be seen coughing. Erin is somewhat displeasured at seeing Brook inhale poisonous gas, but Brook glares at Erin for taking away from the battle and she proceeds to issue an order.

Erin: Brook, close in on Erebus and use Aqua Tail!

Brook charges towards the Houndour as fast as he can...

Veilstone

Etran: Out of it's way!

-Erebus runs from Brook, but is unable to get out in time. Erebus is hit by the Aqua Tail.-

Erebus: <Ugh!>

-Erebus is hit, but still standing.-

Etran: Now, Fire Fang!

-Erebus tries to bite Brook with his teeth on fire.-

edited 26th Jul '16 2:56:14 PM by etran12

Veilstone

Brook takes the Fire Fang. Due to Brook's Water typing, the fangs do not do much at all. Erin smiles. She was worried that Brook was going to get badly hurt again.

Erin: Brook, use Rollout!

Brook curls up into a ball. It immediately takes a sharp right and circles around Erebus before charging into it from behind.
