[h2][color=darkturquoise]Devon the Totodile[/color] and [color=cadetblue]Brick the Poliwrath[/color][/h2][b][Glyph's Guild - Spare Room][/b] [@Ninian][@Shiny Keldeo] When Lilisette tried to offer up some ideas for what Moves he might be capable of, Devon leaned over to stare at the Kirlia in confusion. [color=darkturquoise]"Uh....Maybe. I'll try em out."[/color] His head tilted downwards as the little croc stared at his own hand. His facial features beginning to strain as he narrowed his eyes and flexed his claws. [color=darkturquoise][i]Alright....focus. Energy, going into my hand....I can do this.[/i][/color] Ember and Selena discussed their own variety of skills, as well as their proficiency and views. The area under Brick's eyes visibly dipped in a sort of lipless frown as he eyed the pacifistic Bayleef. [color=cadetblue]"That's right. And it was very wise of them to teach you. But think of it this way Selena; you'll be fighting to make this world a better place, by helping Pokémon far and wide."[/color] Lilisette listed off her moves and her tendency to rarely use them. This comment caused the Totodile siting nearby to finally lower his hand let go his breath. Panting a bit, he then turned to give a flat, unimpressed frown to the Psychic Fairy. [color=darkturquoise]"Hey, you've used Draining Kiss before. That's what you used when you practically sucked the life out of me yesterday."[/color] Raising his gloved hand to silence the Water-type, the Fighter paused for a few moments before speaking up. [color=cadetblue]"Hm....Alright. It's time to kick it up a notch."[/color] Brick's raised hand curled slowly into a fist, and then descended down to go behind his back. The other hand being the same. The mentors beady gaze scrolling across the members of Team Horizon once again as he lowered his voice a bit. [color=cadetblue]"What, is the most important skill that an Explorer can have?"[/color] The question caused the bandaged Big Jaw Pokémon to tilt his head, and cross his arms over his chest. [color=darkturquoise]"'The most important skill'....."[/color] Tapping his tail on the floor a bit, he soon raised up his hand and snapped a claw. [color=darkturquoise]"Courage!"[/color] [color=cadetblue]"No."[/color] The muscled tadpole retorted. [color=cadetblue]"Courage, while important in it's own right, is not a skill. Courage isn't something you can improve, it is simply something you express when facing a task head on with no doubts. Anyone else?"[/color] [h2][color=MediumSlateBlue]Raiden the Feraligatr[/color][/h2][b][Glyph's Guild][/b] [@Shiny Keldeo] [color=MediumSlateBlue]"It's strange, isn't it?"[/color] The ground beneath the lion's feet would shudder slightly as the blue giant lumbered up beside him. A large satchel bag hanging from his shoulder, with a dented silver egg badge clipped to the strap. Raiden crossed his arms over his chest and scanned the empty cork board with intense orange eyes. [color=MediumSlateBlue]"Seeing a request board totally empty. Either you guys don't get very much work around here, or this is the hardest working Guild I've even seen."[/color] The red scar gracing the Feraligatr's left eye clashed with his blue scales as he turned his head to look down at Fuse with a plain face. [color=MediumSlateBlue]"I don't think I ever got your name. I'm Raiden, from the Air Continent."[/color] [h2][color=coral]Stein the Scizor[/color] and [color=thistle]Teth the Nidoqueen[/color][/h2][b][Folio Town - Outside the Guild][/b] [@Shiny Keldeo] Upon the rather abrupt command, the steely red Bug standing at the door traded a glance with the blue beast beside him, before crossing his arms and looking down at the Absol with a slight frown. [color=coral]"Sorry, but the Guildmaster is in a very important meeting right now. If you want to see him, you'll need to come back later."[/color] Trying her best to smile, the Nidoqueen crouched a bit to beam at the four legged duo. [color=thistle]"Oh but I'm sure he won't be long. If I may ask, what is it you need to see him for?"[/color] [h2][color=6193c7]Datsu the Toxicroak[/color][/h2][b][Thirsty Desert - F13][/b] [@Ninian] When prompted for if anyone else was aware of the Mew's true identity, the frog shook his head slowly and shot an unsettling grin. [color=6193c7]"No, it appears even those closest to him, such as that obsessive compulsive Guildmaster, don't have the slightest clue to his true form."[/color] The thief's slit gaze panned back down to the flattened Salandit recovering at the black lizard's feet. [color=6193c7]"Indeed, but even so, imbeciles can serve a very useful purpose. I've used them on many occasions."[/color] The Salazzle brought her concerns back to the shape shifter, while Datsu began to slowly stroll across the room towards her and closed his eyes. [color=6193c7]"Perhaps. It's a very strong possibility given the curious nature of the species. It's possible he's laid in wait for years living life as Glyph's close friend, waiting for an...Opportunity, such as this."[/color] Lids flinging open, the Toxicroak looked over Toxica's form for a moment, before gazing up at her face. [color=6193c7]"I, as you know, am also what one would call an opportunist. Many Pokémon such as your Salandit here are becoming quite tense lately. And when Pokémon become tense, they become paranoid. And when they become paranoid,"[/color] A croaking chuckle left his throat as he brought a hand up to curl it. [color=6193c7]"They become as moldable as clay. So easy to deceive their unfocused brains with such ploys as petty thievery. In response, I've set up plans to raid various towns in the Folio area, some of which have proved to be [i]very[/i] profitable in execution."[/color] Offering his open barbed hand to the evolved Poison-Fire type, Datsu flashed a charming grin at her as he bowed slightly. [color=6193c7]"Would you like to join me on a little heist in Gerudo today, my dear?~ Your wonderful pheromones would make short work of their paranoid minds, and I can promise you a hefty percentage of the pay, as well as a nice private dinner at my humble abode."[/color]
