ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-There happens to have been an Alakazam right behind Mezzo this whole time.

Maul: ~I do.~

Sarah: No, we're not doing what your idea is.

Maul: ~So quick to jump to assumptions.~

Another green world.

Renscape, Ruins

-Dune blinks.-

Dune: ... Okay. So.

-He looks around.-

Dune: Erm... right. I'm just gonna go stab that guy in the foot now.

-Dune runs over and, despite he previous claim, Skewers one of the other Gigantes through the shin. Dune seems absolutely nonplussed about claiming to maim an opponent in a particular manner and not following up on the claims.-

After Psyche finishes scrolling through her texts, being mildly amused by Dezi's antics, Psyche may stumble into the ice cream parlor. It's a very likely place for her to show up, after all.

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Renscape - ???

Jacob: -Is hit all 8 times, too slow to dodge or block, and is quickly pushed back, wounded- Okay you are a tenacious person... I can respect that. But...

-Quickly casts Haste on himself- I think I need to cut this encounter a little short...

-He slashes at Pazulsha's katana aiming to cripple his offense-

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Fortree City, ice cream parlor

-Mezzo yelps and reflexively releases Sunny, then sets him on her head-

Mezzo: Don't do that!

Sunny: -yawns, and then perks his ears up- <Oh hi, Psyche! Are you here to see your love Noelle?>

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

???

-a Gym, dark blue, covered in dark blue curtains and pillows-

???: <Welcome, to the Velvet Room.>

-a Musharna dressed up as a Shiftry-

...?

-bottles line the counters-

Musharna: <Myyyy. It would seem you have a most unusual destiny lying before you. Now, introductions are in order. I am Igor.>

-a Musharna wearing a Gothitelle outfit is also present-

Musharna II: <And you may call me Margaret.>

Igor: <This realm exists between dreams and reality. Generally, only those with a Contract are allowed to visit here.>

...This sounds incredibly sketchy.

Igor: <Excuse me?>

I mean, did you just hijack my dreams to give me some cryptic warning?

Igor: <Excuse me, but as a guest you could show some poli—>

Yeah, I'm out.

Fortree

Ever woke up!

What a weird dream...

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Fortree City

Maul: ...

-The two sweatdrop. Sarah notices Psyche, and scratches her head awkwardly-

Sarah: Oh, uh, hey, Psyche. Nice to see you again.

Psyche rubs her temples. "Arceus, so skittish, I just wanted some damn ice cream. I didn't even say anything. I'm just trying to figure out what the hell happened the last few months."

She looks at the Amarins and blinks. "I... Think I'm going to get me some ice cream before I ask about this. I wonder if I can get something for being the birthday girl? >_>"

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Fortree Parlor

Sarah: Oh, er, sure. On me.

-She goes over to get Psyche some ice cream.-

Fortree City, ice cream parlor

Mezzo: Sorry, I'm kind of on edge right now because I have a very unhinged Malamar somewhere on the loose and wait it's your birthday?

Sunny: <Happy birthday!>

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Psyche holds her hands up. "Say no more, I get it, mine is a tad... odd, too. Thanks, ho-, er, Sarah, you're a saint." She slumps into the chair.

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Renscape, ???, past

-White cracks appear on Pazulsha's Katana-

Pazulsha: -as darkness begins to swirl around him- Very well It seems that you posses a modicum of power.

-Pazulsha begins to charge up his ultimate attack, Oblivion Force.-

Renscape, Ruins, Past

-Dune and the others lay into the Sandlash-like Alphaena Gigas, cracks appearing in its legs' magic shielding - more so on the right leg than the left.-

-Ren continues fighting the horned Mightyena-like Alphapente Gigas, delivering a quick thrust to break the Gigas' concentration when it started to gather power in its weapon.-

Eskay: I think Inkay-line mons are weird in general. Probably one of the reasons Vierr hates being one so much.

-Sarah comes back with a large bowl of ice cream for Psyche.-

Sarah: No problem, Psyche. Happy birthday. So, uh...

-She looks down awkwardly-

Sarah: What have you been up to?

Fortree City, ice cream parlor

-Mezzo returns to her own bowl of ice cream-

Mezzo: If you're looking for Noelle, I'm sorry to say she isn't here.

Felis: <Sorry? Oh, please.>

Mezzo: Fortis decided she wanted to try out contests, so she's in one of those towns that has contest halls. Noelle went with her, and personally I'm glad to have a break from them both. Well, I'd be more glad about it if I could actually find Xel and Joseph.

-there may be an exceptionally large banana split, sitting on an adjacent table-

Another green world.

Renscape, Ruins

Dune: Wait, why do they even bother stopping to cast anything in the middle of heated combat if the casting can be interrupted by a sharp blow to the head?

-Dune smashes his Gigas target's kneecap with a Shield Splitter.-

Renscape - ???

Jacob: No you don't!! -He rears back, takes an overly offensive stance, and tries to bind Pazulsha in place with chains-

Shackle!!

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Psyche shrugs. "A lot of meditation in the forest. And a lot of physical therapy, I will say. I'm trying to work on getting used to this brace without my powers. I've had it for... wow, about a year now, but it still feels... off."

She turns to Mezzo. "Aww, well, I'll find her shortly, I'm sure she's worried sick about me."

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Fortree Parlor

Sarah: Yeah, I can understand that. Maybe ask Dezi for help? She made the thing, after all.

-Eskay raises an eyebrow upon noticing something... empathically odd about Sarah. Meanwhile, Maul is staring intently at the banana split.-

Fortree

Satele: <Hmmm... Why have I not gotten a status report on that crystal thing in such a long time...?>

Selene: Hm? You say something, Satele?

Satele: <I'm wondering where the hell I can find a decent parfait around here.>

Psyche, being non-empathic, and considerably less psychic than she usually is, does not notice. She instead eats slowly, and continues. "Yeah, I think i need to meet up with her for a bit anyway, I heard she had a tough time with a new metal doohickey, and I need to figure out what happened."

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Fortree City

Sarah: Yeah... I still need to get an update on how far she's gotten with that Transistor research, too.

-She blinks at Psyche eating slowly-

Sarah: ...Wow, not having your full powers is really doing a number on you. Usually you'd already be done.

Psyche grits her teeth. "Yeah, I learned the hard way after the first time I actually encountered brain freeze first hand. >_<"

White Knight!Ren: -to Dune while blocking an attack- Well technically, the same can happen to us too.

-More cracks appear in the Alphaena Gigas' legs.-

Renscape, ???, Past

-Energy chains spring up and bind Pazulsha, interrupting his cast and preventing all actions and movements for five turns.
