[@Pirouette] [color=668570]‘Oooooooooooh I love stories like that!’[/color] Joshua eagerly cried out. [color=668570]‘We must do everything in our power to see your dream fulfilled!’[/color] [color=decdad]‘I concur,’[/color] Ewan nodded mid-run. [color=decdad]‘You’re far more deserving than that guy…!’[/color] Those calls of support aside, they arrived at the throne room and took in the scene. Erika made her announcements… and the boy grunted and turned back towards the throne. [color=787D74]‘You’re a nuisance. Psychics! Mia! Allan! Take care of them!’[/color] Julian commanded, and the crew of Psychics turned their Pokémon towards them! [color=6aa697]‘It would be our pleasure!’[/color] Mia called rather excitedly. [color=b35647]‘Hmpf, as our client requests,’[/color] Allan said, tossing a used cigarette aside. Because it’s in his image. Definitely wouldn’t be in a real Pokémon game, but eh. A crowd of Psychic Pokémon amassed from the crowd of Psychics that were making up the front line, and even if each was comparatively weak, it would take too long to fight through them! That is, unless- An all-powerful leg swung through the air, causing a blast of wind that sent the Abras, Drowzees, Elgyems and Chinglings flying and the Psychics to cry out in terror. Machamp gently put his leg down, gave Erika a smirk and pointed with his thumb in the direction of the throne for her, through the opening he’d just created through the line of Pokémon of the Psychics. He then cracked two sets of knuckles, smirking at the Psychics, who while many and with a type-advantage definitely felt like they were facing something impossible…! So, Erika, Ewan and Joshua were free to dash ahead towards the throne…! [color=6aa697]‘Not so fast…!’[/color] Mia called, her Ducklett flying up and shooting a Water Gun to stop them! [color=b35647]‘We won’t let you get to our client…!’[/color] Allan said, his Growlithe firing an Ember to dissuade them from continuing. Mia and Allan would like to- [color=668570]‘OH, NO YOU DON’T!’[/color] Joshua called out as his Mudkip came out and blocked the Ember without taking much damage. [color=668570]‘Erika’s dream is on the line, and I won’t let you stand in the way of it!’[/color] he called, facing up against Allan. [color=decdad]‘Besides, letting you guys do as you like would leave a sour taste in my mouth,’[/color] Ewan said, as Duessel the Psyduck took Ducklett’s Water Gun, similarly without much damage. [color=decdad]‘Erika! Get your price! We’ll hold up these guys!’[/color] he continued, facing up against Mia [color=6aa697]‘Tsk…’[/color] Mia made an annoyed noise. [color=b35647]‘You little…’[/color] Allan wasn’t super-happy about this turn of events. [color=787D74]‘Geh,’[/color] Julian made a noise, frowning back at them, then turned to… [color=787D74]‘Pilot! Start the engine! Block the hall!’[/color] As he called, the giant drill started firing up, starting to move intending on turning so it’d block their progress… [color=db845c]‘FIRE!’[/color] Maple called. She’d all of a sudden called out her entire brigade of Fire-types! There was a Magby, a Flareon, a Growlithe and a Tepig, all starting to fire a hail of Embers at the expensive-looking machine! They were doing significantly more than scratching the surface, the steel-typing of the drill coming to a definite disadvantage as the fire was starting to burn into it, slowing its progress! [color=db845c]‘FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! THAT THING ISN’T LEAVING!’[/color] Maple commanded, holding her shovel forward as her fire-brigade were now occupied. Julian grunted as he turned towards the throne, and Ellyn stood before it with a sharp look. [color=507173]‘Are you sure you can afford looking at me? Someone’s coming for you, Julian,’[/color] Ellyn said, smirking and nodding her head towards behind him. Julian spun around, and (assuming Erika did as her companions intended and headed on) she’d arrive in front of him, the boy grunting as he looked at her. [color=787D74]‘You…’[/color] he frowned at her, not looking very happy. [color=787D74]‘You’re after the Dawn Stone as well?’[/color] he asked, the Kirlia next to him nodding at this assertion. [color=787D74]‘… Fine. If I beat you, it’s mine. I’ll show you my conviction is stronger than yours…!’[/color] [hider=and now…][center][url=https://i.imgur.com/H4FkrGD.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/H4FkrGDl.png[/img][/url] Team Amethyst Client Julian would like to battle![/center] The first thing Julian did was throw a condescending look at Chic, snort, and then grab a Pokéball into the floor of the hall! From it shaped a yellow fox-like Pokémon standing on two talloned legs, with a massive yellow tail, a mustache, and angry glare and a spoon on one hand. [color=787D74]‘Let’s get her, Kadabra!’[/color] [center][url=https://cdn2.bulbagarden.net/upload/9/97/064Kadabra.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/nYpihq9.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #64 – Kadabra, the Psi Pokémon. It emits special alpha waves from its body that can cause headaches from just being close to one. Machines around it are occasionally caused to malfunction in odd ways, like clocks going backwards. The spoon it holds amplifies its power, without it Kadabra can only use around half its power.[/i][/color][/center] Kadabra focused the spoon forward, definitely intending to go with Confusion! What will Erika do? How would she like to fight this battle?[/hider]
