Sophia Danvers

Mesalon Hospital

@Heckno12 @AbysmalDemon

Watching Hammer continue to pester Rheese, Sophia knew she had to say something. "Well..." she began, and then paused.

Should she tell him exactly what she'd seen? Out of the three people here, she was the one who knew the most, but... No, she couldn't. It was probably a terrible idea to let that on to someone like Hammer. Besides, she had no clue what that shadow aura was, and if she told Hammer she didn't know, there was no way he'd accept that as an answer.

For once, she'd have to hide her abilities.

She continued to scowl at the complete and utter idiot of a detective in front of her. She hoped neither Alex nor Rheese would mention that she was a psychic. Alex, she didn't know that well, but Rheese didn't seem like the kind of person who would put her in that situation.

"It was strong enough to crush an ambulance like a soda can. There's that," she went on. "Ok, if you want my side of the story, here's what I can tell you. One minute we were on our way to the hospital, the next this maniac set his enraged beast on us. Not only that, but we had to deal with this group of thugs trying to stop us getting out of there."

She could barely hear herself talk over the yells of the fans, screaming at her to let Hammer get on with the interview. Her frown deepened. Wasn't that exactly what she was doing? Even if she wasn't the one he'd originally intended to talk to?

The fans pushed the door open so hard it banged against the wall, their shouts growing louder. Now that she'd made her opinion of them clear, they were doing the same to her. Trying her best to ignore them, she turned her steely glare back towards Hammer. "Anyway..."

Something blue hurtled towards her.

Her reaction was a reflex. The object, deflected in midair, flew away from her. Splat. Sophia looked over, a plummeting sensation in her stomach.

A rotten Oran berry had splattered all over Hammer's shirt.

Ooooops.

@Dusksong @Dark Light Oh dear, Ella's name choices... There are going to be more names like that. Which Vivian will probably expect.

♥ Ellanor "Ella" Beaufort ♥

Location: Feyhollow Town

@Dusksong @Dark Light

Despite her protesting shoulder muscles, Ella helped Leisy and Vivian carry the cage to the Pokecentre. She gave a sigh of relief as the nurse informed her all three Pokemon would survive. The group had succeeded, but there were still more to find.

After getting Treasure healed, Ella headed to the room she'd booked, sagging from sleepiness and overexertion. Once she'd fed and returned Treasure, she dug another Pokeball from her pocket. "You can come out now," she whispered as she pressed the button. She was just glad this particular Pokemon hadn't been involved in the battle.

Hissing, the Ekans disappeared under the bed. "Hey! It's alright," Ella said, crouching down, even as she kept her distance at the other end of the room. Keeping his yellow eyes fixed on her, the Ekans remained there for what must have been a minute before his new trainer managed to coax him out.

"You know... If you don't want to travel with me and my friends, I could take you back to the forest," Ella offered. "Once this is dealt with, of course." If the Ekans wanted to go back, she wasn't releasing him anywhere near the poachers.

As the Ekans slowly slithered towards her, Ella gripped the Pokeball, ready to return him if he tried to attack. Instead, after flicking his tongue out a few times, he coiled up, appearing to relax.

"Ehh... You must be hungry," Ella said, pulling a Poketreat from her bag and leaving it in front of him. Stretching out, the Ekans gobbled up the treat, then gave another hiss, a softer, satisfied one this time.

Maybe others wouldn't agree, but to Ella, when the snake hissed, he did kind of look as if he were smiling. "Good to see you happy," Ella chuckled. "So I take it you want to stay... You'll need a name, then. And I know just what it should be!"

She typed a name into her Pokedex before looking with adoration at her newest Pokemon. "Smiley. How about that? Because you really do look like you're smiling sometimes. And when you evolve, you'll have the most beautiful smiley face pattern!"

Her friends would probably consider it a questionable choice, but it made perfect sense to her.

"So..." She held up the Pokeball. "What do you want to do? Do you want to sleep in here, or...?" She didn't want to distress him again, but she still wasn't entirely comfortable at the thought of the Ekans being out of his Pokeball while she slept. Thankfully, Smiley brushed his head against the Pokeball, disappearing into it.

"Goodnight, Smiley," she said before getting ready for bed and settling under the blankets. She'd need her sleep. Tomorrow was going to be another tough day, but she and her friends would do everything they could.

@Heckno12 Might have finally sorted out Amber's team.

@Heckno12 Wow, that Z-Splash would have been terrifying otherwise, x2.5 Attack...

I epic failed in Showdown the other day. I tried using Swords Dance Lycanroc against an all-Ditto team, forgetting that Ditto copies stat changes. You can imagine how the battle went.

Pokemon Spiral

@OtomostheCrazy Swords Dance + Sucker Punch = terrifying combo.

@Heckno12 Made some alterations to the hail NPC team. (And wow, the irony of a Pokemon in a hail team getting frozen solid...)

@Dusksong Yeah, for contests, other people could judge posts (that's how it works in some RPs).

And yes, I'd love to see gyms! In fact, I have an idea for the Feyhollow gym.

How would double battles work? Because I'm thinking Ella's sisters could be the Fairy-type gym leaders. Or one could be in charge of the gym while the other does her part-time job as a contest judge, and they could alternate.

@Heckno12 nvm managed to post

Sophia Danvers

Mesalon Hospital

@Heckno12 @AbysmalDemon

Sophia looked over with a cold glare as the big burly guy made his dramatic entrance. Given how Rheese had reacted to the TV show the previous day, he really, really didn't need this at the best of times, least of all now.

"You heard him!" she said, backing Alex up. "If you expect answers from someone who was out cold up until now, then you're even dumber than those fans of yours! Arceus only knows what they see in you!"

The group of fangirls who had gathered outside the door started shrieking even louder, yelling insults. Trying her best not to let the vile comments get to her, she folded her arms, scowling in contempt.

She winced as a cut on her hand twinged. Oh, great. With the way she looked right now, it was obvious she'd also been in the wrecked ambulance. Knowing Hammer, he'd probably just start questioning her now.

At least maybe he'd leave Rheese alone.

@Heckno12 @AbysmalDemon Can't post now, but will do tomorrow. Sophia's also going to have a thing or two to say to Hammer.
