[center][color=gray][h3]Leisy Takigawa[/h3][/color]— Stillwater —[/center] Further chirping from the sharp-billed bird in front of Leisy piqued a peculiar feeling inside her. [i]Pity?[/i] she wondered, relaxing her muscles and letting her mind wander. [i]No. That’s not right. This is…[/i] Her eyes widened, and she leaped back in alarm, legs scoring streaks in the dirt below as she landed. [i]B—Bidein?[/i] The Fletchinder paused his chirping, seemingly picking up on the fact that the Kartana had recognized him. In his relief, however, the ember Pokemon neglected to stay aware of his surroundings, leaving him the prime target for an approaching Gliscor. Upon noticing the unsuspecting fire-type, the purple-blue Pokemon’s eyes gleamed in delight as it adjusted its flight pattern as to take aim at the Fletchinder. Launching itself through the air, it bared its fangs and widened its pincers, eyes engulfed in desire for blood. A slew of deadly-sharp leaves knockd the Gliscor from its trajectory, sending ti reeling back. Leisy was at her Fletchinder side in a heartbeat, arms thrown up possessively. [color=gray]“Back off,”[/color] she told the ground-type. The Gliscor’s eyes narrowed as it weighed its options, flicking its tail back and forth as it did. The little origami Pokemon didn’t look like much, but it’d alerted the Fletchinder to its presence. Hadn’t it been a free-for-all? That was what it seemed like around here — kill or be killed, so you might as well test your claws and teeth while you were at it. Muscles tensing, the Gliscor prepared to strike again. [color=gray]“You’re going to regret that,”[/color] Leisy said, readying her blades. On a whole, she was pleased that the Gliscor was challenging her. It wasn’t her choice the ground-type was so reckless as to challenge an enemy it couldn’t gauge properly. On the other hand, however, a small part of Leisy was calling it quite, protesting loudly in a corner of her mind. [i]Why the bloodlust? Why the needless violence?[/i] the voice demanded, sounding rather naive but cross at the same time. [i]What will you possibly gain from hurting so many Pokemon?[/i] [i]I — I,[/i] Leisy thought, blinking rapidly. Beside her, a faint warmth reminded her that Bidein was with her. [i]I agree,[/i] she realized, letting her blades drop to her side. THe Gliscor, sensing the lack of killing intent from the opposite party, prepared to strike, but a warning look from the Fletchinder told it off. [color=gray]“Thank you for not giving up on me, Bidein,”[/color] Leisy told her fire-type, sliding the flat of her arm over her Fletchinder’s head feathers Looking around, she spotted Ella, Olivie, and a Metang forming a circle around the Darkrai. [color=gray]“Over here. But be careful,”[/color] she said, motioning towards the group before jumping over with her Pokemon following behind her. [color=gray]“You’re manipulating our minds — our desires!”[/color] Leisy shouted at the Darkrai as she landed beside the large, jellyfish-like creature that was Ella. [color=gray]“We might want to be stronger, but the strength that we seek isn’t all physical strength.”[/color] [hr][hider=Leisy’s Pokedex] [b]Rank: [/b]Skilled [b]Organization: [/b]Helping Hand Guild [b]TP:[/b] 128 +1 +1(HHG bonus) = 130 [b]Inventory:[/b][list][*]Pokeball x 3 [*]Greatball x 2 [*]Rare Candy x 2 [*]Twisted Spoon [/list] [b]Pokemon:[/b][list][*]Bidein “Dei” ♂ — Fletchinder (11) [*]Naunet ♀ — Piplup (11) [*]Devinco “Devi” ♂ — Larvitar (9) [*]Cassia “Sia” ♀ — Ekans (1) [*]Tyrus ♂ — Gastly (2) [*]Animo “Nemo” ♂ — Sewaddle (1) [/list][/hider] [@luckyblackcat] [@lugubrious] [hr]137 CP
