Rebirth: Return of the Dragons!

✧ Petronia ✧

That tingling sensation in Petronia's head, chest and wings grew. A glance down the tunnel revealed distant, moving shapes. More dragons.

The crystal formation in front of her suddenly shot up, growing and spreading at an alarming rate, sending the white wyvern stumbling back. More gems spiked up from the ground all around her. Petronia stared around frantically at the jagged wall. She flapped her wings, but it quickly became clear she wasn't built for flight. Great. It was all well and good that she had a way to protect herself, but it would be a plus if her shield didn't double as a prison.

"Don't worry! I'll get you out of there!" she heard the excitable ice dragon offer, seemingly unfazed by her lashing out. Petronia glared up as the wyvern rose into the air.

"Hmph. Don't bother. I did this, I can undo it just as easily," she grumbled, even though she didn't have the first idea how to reverse what she'd done. She tried striking the barrier with the tough crystals on her wings, but it held. How had she broken through her egg? It hadn't just been with her strength, she was sure of that, but how did she even use her crystal manipulation ability?

With a growl of frustration, she thought back to what it had felt like when she'd made the shards grow, feeling that crackle of energy spread through her again. Slowly, the spikes jutting from the ground began to sink back down. Petronia huffed. She didn't have the patience for this. This time, all it took was one blow from her wing for the now-fragile barrier to shatter.

Well, that was that dealt with... Which just left the problem of the other, possibly less than friendly dragons here.

❆ Quilo ❆

@LeamonZest89

As Quilo dodged the second shower of crystal fragments, he glimpsed other scaly forms deeper in the cave, heard them talking. He and the gem-covered dragon weren't the only hatchlings here.

"Looks like we've got company! C'mon, what are we waiting around for?" He glanced from Petronia to the distant group, red eyes wide and shining. "Let's say hi!" And with that, he was in the air again. The shoulder wound stung with each flap of his wings, but wasn't bad enough to slow him down any.

"Oh yeah, great idea! Fly headlong into danger, why don't you?" he heard the other dragon snarl, but he ignored her, darting forward... Crash.

"Oww!" He picked himself up from the ground, feeling a bruise start to form on his head. "What was that?" Whatever - or whoever - he'd collided with was nowhere in sight. There just seemed to be an empty space in front of him.

Rebirth: Return of the Dragons!

@The One Will have a post up tomorrow (and possibly another dragon CS if that's ok).

Jessamyn "Jess" Bailey

"Yeah... I'll try," Jess replied, slumping down at a computer and trying to make sense of the pile of notes in her barely-awake state. She didn't want to imagine how rough the customers would be. Despite Roxy's reassurance, nothing felt safe. Not after last evening.

The empath had just started to arrange the jumbled paperwork into some sort of order when the phone rang. For a second, she froze. She knew next to nothing about vehicles, and hadn't had time to learn the skills she'd need. How would she deal with an enquiry, unprepared as she was? "Uh... Do you want me to get that?" she asked Roxy hastily, glancing from her to the phone. She'd probably be best sticking with organising documents for now, although it depended what Roxy wanted.

Vivianne Cypress

Mesalon Gym -> Outside

@fer1323

Although Sophia took on a look of distress at the warning about berserk Pokemon, she still expressed a desire to leave the gym, as did Oscar. "Good opportunity to study the wild Pokemon around here," Vivianne agreed at the mention of spelunking, her Porygon Z drifting close by as she headed towards the door. Observing the behaviour of the local wildlife was, after all, what she'd come to Mesalon in the first place to do. "Hopefully they won't cause trouble."

The first time she'd stopped by this town, she hadn't had a chance to do much exploring before being called away on an assignment, but now this was part of her task, and would allow Oscar and Sophia to train in the meantime. She just hoped she could keep them safe if they found themselves faced with anything they weren't ready for.

Sophia Danvers

Mesalon Gym -> Outside

@fer1323

"Sure! And if anyone here can fend for themselves, it's me," Sophia answered, head held high as she strode alongside the others. Oscar would see right through the act as always, but that only meant she had to make it real. She had to become the person she pretended to be, and training would be a step towards doing so.

Not only that, but if it was low-level Pokemon who tended to get battle-crazed like that, would bonding with them and helping them grow stop it from happening again?

Despite the fake confidence, there was a hint of concern in her eyes. Two incidents. Oscar hadn't just seen the out-of-control battle between Wooper and Beldum, but another, similar event. "This other incident... Was everything alright?"

@Zarkun It's a shame we don't have gyms yet... Best thing to do might be think of good places to train and get stronger.

Pokemon: New World

@Zarkun Ok, what kind of Pokemon do you want to get next?

Jessamyn "Jess" Bailey

As she poured coffee and prepared her breakfast, Jess couldn't ignore the trapped feeling coming from Roxy. Like she had no choice but to do something she didn't want to do.

The empath remained silent, almost too sick with worry to eat the toast in front of her, but she couldn't keep the anchor waiting. She forced herself to finish her breakfast. As much as she wished she could help the person who'd been kind to her despite everything, asking about this would only make things worse. All she could do was make sure not to stress Roxy further.

Every nerve on edge from a mix of sleep deprivation, caffeine, Roxy's emotions and her own, Jess trailed like a shadow behind the anchor. That was what she felt like, and she knew all too well Roxy did too. Both of them had become shades of the people they'd been, their identities stolen by their abilities.

Pokemon Spiral

@OtomostheCrazy If it helps, I think the Pokemon used were Bulbasaur, Pidove and Lillipup.

Pokemon Spiral

@OtomostheCrazy Things were pretty hectic, but are becoming more manageable now. How's everything with you?

@OtomostheCrazy Yep, here it is: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7customgame-607888211

Edit: Ah, it doesn't seem to be working right now...
