[@Dusksong] Laurinda looked at Eryn, soft in her look, then looked off through the trees. [color=c5b9c7]‘So the rumors of ghosts have spread. This is unfortunate. I will be forced to save more children going out into these woods for foolish reasons during night-time to look for these fabled spirits. … Most unfortunate. Delphox, I’ll be counting on you, to see them before they get hurt,’[/color] Laurinda said, as she turned to look towards her partner. [color=e3875f]‘Delphox…’[/color] the Pokémon sounded out, sounding like it was a bit of a pain, but acknowledged nonetheless. Delphox gave Eryn a mildly curious stare for a moment, then looked back into the flame. [color=c5b9c7]‘Now, then,’[/color] Laurinda said, turning back towards Eryn. [color=c5b9c7]‘I'll have to insist you leave these woods now. They are too dangerous this time of night. I'd rather not be used as a safety net for young trainers intentionally throwing themselves into reckless danger intending me to catch them,’[/color] she told in a serious tone. [color=c5b9c7]‘I'll escort you back to-’[/color] [color=e3875f]‘Delphox,’[/color] Delphox suddenly stated, her tone sharp, pointing her wand in a direction. Laurinda looked back at her with regret. [color=c5b9c7]‘Another one…? … I suppose there's no helping it, then,’[/color] Laurinda told, taking out a Pokéball and opening it before Eryn. Before her a floating, living chandelier took shape. [color=8484c2]‘Chandelure!’[/color] [center][url=http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/65/609Chandelure.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/kBeGNKj.png[/img][/url][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #609 – Chandelure, the Luring Pokémon. They’re known to hypnotize opponents using their dancing flames. It absorbs spirits, which it then burns in its fires. Its fire burn the spirit rather than the body, so a physical body left behind by its flames is entirely untouched despite the damage.[/i][/color][/center] [color=c5b9c7]‘I'll let you at least see a ghost for your troubles. Mine, that is,’[/color] Laurinda told Eryn, before turning to Chandelure. [color=c5b9c7]‘Escort Eryn here back to Outer Infested Woods, and then return home. Understood?’[/color] [color=8484c2]‘Chan~!’[/color] Chandelure replied. [color=c5b9c7]‘With that, I need to save another hapless young wanderer…’[/color] Laurinda commented, but that was… [color=e3875f]‘Del,’[/color] Delphox said with a warning tone, looking to Laurinda, who looked back with a more serious expression. [color=c5b9c7]‘No. You’re saying they are…’[/color] Laurinda asked, and Delphox nodded. [color=c5b9c7]‘Hm. Eryn, you best be on your way. I have something I need to see through. Good luck on your journey, may we meet again when you're better prepared.’[/color] With those words, Laurinda turned to sprint through the wood in the direction Delphox had pointed, leaving Eryn with Chandelure, and… Delphox stopped next to her and all her Pokémon. Delphox turned and gave Eryn’s Pokémon a bit of a fox-like grin. [color=e3875f]‘Del, delphox,’[/color] Delphox said. [color=8484c2]‘Ch-chan!?’[/color] Chandelure exclaimed, startled. [color=e3875f]‘Delphox, phox,’[/color] Delphox said with a shrug, and then ran on after Laurinda. [color=8484c2]‘D-delure...’[/color] Chandelure replied, looking unsure. And to translate for Eryn’s Pokémon… [i][color=e3875f]‘The ghost-Pokémon are beyond Inner Infested Woods. You’ll be fine if Chandelure looks after you,’[/color][/i] Delphox instructed to Eryn’s Pokémon. [i][color=8484c2]‘Wh-what!?’[/color][/i] Chandelure asked, clearly alarmed. [i][color=e3875f]‘I can keep a secret if you can,’[/color][/i] Delphox told Chandelure, before running off. [i][color=8484c2]‘I-I’m not sure about that...’[/color][/i] Chandelure replied, obviously not as comfortable disobeying his trainer. Eryn’s… and Eryn’s Pokémon’s reactions? [hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Be Escorted Out. [i]Be a good girl and do as you’re told.[/i] 2. Travel Deeper. [i]Take Delphox’s suggestion and make Chandelure your partner-in-crime.[/i] 3.

[i]Whatever else you can imagine doing, heh.[/i][/hider] __________________________ [@Ephemeral] After a visit to the Pokémon Center and then a return, Erza went training with his Pokémon. None of the targets here had much to threaten with. Zigzagoon having Tackle, Growl, Tail Whip and possibly Sand Attack. Budew had Absorb and Growth. Pidove had Gust and Growl. For Extraordinary, the raccoons couldn't even damage her as she slowly Night Shaded them to defeat. Eevee, meanwhile, was capable enough to handle his training on his own with Adaptation and more. [center][color=6ecff6][i]Eevee grew to Level 10! Eevee learned Baby-doll Eyes! Eevee learned Swift![/i][/color][/center] [center][color=6ecff6][i]Extraordinary grew to Level 9! Extraordinary learned Disable! Extraordinary learned Astonish![/i][/color][/center] They both took some damage. Extraordinary didn’t train just against Zigzagoons, we’ll say. And now?
