[@Pikmin Eye] [color=ffb57d]'Oh, um,'[/color] the relatively young man flinched a bit as Martin (younger) came up to him and started talking, the man quickly brushing his tears away and getting to his feet to look at him. [color=ffb57d]'Ah, thank you… but um…'[/color] he started, looking a little unsure, until asked to introduce himself. [color=ffb57d]'Ah, yes!'[/color] he straightened his back, smiled widely (still with tears in his eyes) and gestured proudly to himself, Togekiss happily flew to look pretty over his shoulder with a smile to match. [color=ffb57d]'I am Frans! I am the young master and son to the owner of the Private Palace, north-west of here! I don’t blame you if you’ve heard of me, I am actually quite an accomplished Pokémon combatant, frequently partaking in the Pokémon League competitions! This here is my proud partner, Parvati!'[/color] [color=d8ede8]'Toge!'[/color] Parvati the Togekiss rose and made a happy noise. … Then Frans’ smile faltered, and he looked a slight bit… mortified. [color=ffb57d]'… Yet, I have never actually caught a Pokémon myself. Even Parvati here was given to me in my youth, and even with all my strength I’ve never been able to prove I can handle the full experience of being a Pokémon Trainer.'[/color] [color=d8ede8]'Toge…'[/color] Parvati drifted closer to comfort her trainer, a little sad expression on the flying fairy’s face. Frans abscently patted her, looking at her gratefully before continuing. [color=ffb57d]'I don’t have any weaker Pokémon, and I suppose I could buy more expensive Pokéballs, but I don’t really want to. That’d just be taking advantage of my fortune again, wouldn’t it? I’ve already resolved to leave my other Pokémon other than my dear Parvati behind for now, so as to not hold on to my advantage too hard…'[/color] Frans sighed, before once more looking to Martin, Parvati floating behind him. [color=ffb57d]'I’ve been doing what I can, but it’s been difficult. Yeah, so, um. Sir Martin, if you have any suggestions on what I could do, I’d gladly hear them!'[/color] That’s a situation. What’d Martin have to say to that? Otherwise. [hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Find Pokémon. [i]Can be specified what kind of Pokémon is being searched for, and how you search.[/i] 2. Train Pokémon.

Then, however, she turned and started walking towards him, completely ignoring his Pokémon that shot beams of ice and jumped divided into many as she wandered. Drifblim took the Ice Beam, shuddering in damage but was not frozen, however the next Dark Pulse struck out from Greninja and Drifblim wavered, before collapsing together onto the ground, fainting and returning to Angelique’s Pokéball without her even acknowledging it. Cofagrigus just cackled, feeling nothing as the Double Team Greninja’s attacked it. Angelique approached the young man until either something blocked her, she was a meter or so away from him glaring at close range, until he started backing away from her or until something other unexpected happened. [color=6e6e23]‘Shrouded shepherd, seasoned soldier on secluded soil. The moment’s misused, the extant engagement embryonic. To a greater goal will be given guidance. A favored felon stirs in the septentrional city, a contest copacetic for the crusade. Amongst atramentous architecture, an adversary awaits. The spectral savant of the triumphant tetrad testifies the trial, present particular pulverising postponed until the unworthy upholds legitimate labelling in the league,’[/color] she spoke, looking at him, gaze held steady. At that moment, Cofagrigus was done with what the coffin had been charging. The four hands slapped together, and cube-shaped blue shimmering walls rapidly expanded from it, quickly enveloping all within the expanse of the battlefield. Absol and Bisharp both suddenly felt their movements hampered, like an otherworldly force was keeping down their speed and mobility. Greninja felt like some monster was holding her down, only the slightest speed allowed from her like she had just quadrupled in weight. This, to any who recognized it, was Trick Room, where the fast move slow… And Cofagrigus swooped forth with unimaginable speed, the previously excessively slow-moving ghost flashing forth, cackling as it approached Greninja. [color=facf73]‘COFAFAFAFAFAFA~!’[/color] Having seen which Greninja had sent the Dark Pulse, Cofagrigus approached and charged a green ball of a move a Cofagrigus normally shouldn’t know, quite alike Trick Room. Basically regardless of Greninja’s attempt, she’d find the move she was trying to perform to be excessively slowed and couldn’t be performed before the sudden blast of Cofagrigus’ Energy Ball, the grass-type shot knocking the Greninja off her feet and into the air. Only because Cofagrigus was no grass-type did she make it out of that conscious, slight health remaining. Except, before she even had time to be properly knocked back, the super-speeded Cofagrigus gripped her leg, Greninja’s balance pulled out from under her as she was suddenly thrown straight in the direction of Absol, who too had found his movements hampered trying to dodge. Though, the throw was not actually a Pokémon move, and as such they took minimal damage, it was simply Cofagrigus showing off its power, the blue walls of Trick Room shimmering around them, all while Angelique was staring at the young man knowing full well what was happening behind her. By Cofagrigus ability, Mummy, bandages had somehow appeared on contact binding loosely around Greninja repressing her ability but having no other effect, and in case of successful impact with Absol the same happened to him. [color=6e6e23]‘Stay in subjugation, striving sentinel,’[/color] Angelique finished, before turning around and walking. She didn’t seem to have any intention of continuing the battle, simply walking off through the street, not stopping unless stopped by something. Cofagrigus still hovered there, however, grinning within the Trick Room which was granting it such magnificent speed. Unless any Pokémon moved to try to counter it, Cofagrigus wouldn’t move to attack, but it’d be quick to intercept any attempts to attack from “faster” Pokémon… Of course, the explosion didn’t happen, so the young ones running off had not noticed any explosions. So, having ran away a bit, Dawkin and Amelia noted there were actually a few individuals that had been waiting, just out of sight, staying at a healthy range from Angelique. Adult men standing behind corners on edge with Pokéballs at the ready like they were preparing for potential conflict, tense with the knowledge that if she did something they probably wouldn’t stand a chance. Behind one of the corners in the front was a girl in a long black dress, with long pink/purple hair, standing with a black snake curled up head raised behind her.

It hides in grass and strikes unwary prey with venomous fangs. It whets its bladed tail on rocks to prepare for battle, said blade oozing of horrible poison. It shares a generations-long feud with Zangoose, the two rivaling species battling endlessly throughout history.[/i][/color][/center][/hider] The group spared a look at them, looked to the girl like she was in command of them, and she made dismissive gesture which resulted in them all merely looking past them at the conflict that was actually out of their sight, assumingly listening for bad sounds. Didn’t seem like they considered the current situation terrible enough to actually interfere. What would those present do?
