I keep coming back here very so often, as if it would make my wanting to return any better. I don't know why that would be. I would just disappear again and regret it again, I'm sure.

We all still alive here? It's only been a few days, I know, but we're still usually more talkative than this.
I'm interested in this.
Interested. Not too much a fan of plot-lacking roleplays, but I'll expand my horizons here, I think.
Twitch Plays Pokemon? Oh god, that stuff is madness in a funny and terrible way.

And another question, if nincada were to evolve, would i be able to control both Shedinja and Ninjask?

I'm not the GM, so I can't make an official call on this, but I would say for the purposes of this particular environment that Shedinja would just be an extension of your character. That is, the Shedinja would move and attack as the Ninjask did, while still having its own moves and abilities, but the Shedinja would not really have any personality of its own. By all technicalities, your Ninjask should be able to direct it like a simple creature, since it is an extension of himself.

Maybe that isn't the case here, I don't know. I just find it a funny circumstance that your Ninjask could be constantly trailed by the ghostly Shedinja, made even funnier if the Ninjask sees that as completely normal and doesn't understand why everyone's freaking out about it.
The Cyndaquil seemed to be trembling a bit less now, for some reason, as time passed. In the presence of these other Pokemon that he was supposed to team up with, he really had no choice but to stay strong, to try and stand up straighter. Whining and shaking and mewling like some lost child was what Enthen wanted to do, but that wasn't at all what he needed. In this new, unfamiliar world with strange rules and inhabitants, the Cyndaquil was far from strong, but that was all the more reason to gain the trust and friendship of allies... that's how it worked, right?

"M-my name... er," Enthen tried to stammer out again. His new voice sounded so light and squeaky to him, and talking just felt so awkward that way, especially to others that were bigger and likely stronger than him. They were trying to be nice, though, so Enthen had to try and be nice too. It seemed like that was how it was supposed to go, anyway. "My, uh, name, is... Enthen." The last part came out in a strange blurt. Was that even how to say his name? Seemed like it was comprehensible enough.

Now that everyone was introduced, (the sword was Caliburn, and the Cubone was... Zee? Funny name...) there was a brief, awkward silence. The Fire Mouse Pokemon sort of pawed at the ground a bit in shy idleness, before finally spouting out again, "So... uh... North?"
As all of the strangers of this world gathered into the groups Kulero had instructed, they presented mixed reactions to their dilemma and the Great Seer's idea of a solution. But the Alakazam seemed resolute in his idea that these characters he had summoned happened to be some form of solace for whatever evil lurked in this world. Just another thing in the textbook of reasons why Enthen didn't really like any of this situation; the suggesting that there was a major evil so powerful it warranted using these relics, and the further idea that he was supposed to stop this evil. Well, not really, seeing as how Kulero said he didn't really hold these people to that given the misunderstanding he had caused.

Meanwhile, Enthen tried his best to observe the, uh, pair of Pokemon he was with, the Cubone and the Honedge. There were definitely separate in voice, attitude and form, and definitely were finding issues getting by together with their differences. And that was just the visual elements. And what about himself, the puny little Cyndaquil who little backbone to speak for? That Cubone definitely had a lot more bone in every way to be able to approach that wild sword and ally itself with it in the first place. Enthen would think that Pokemon would be most fit for leading the team, if it were not for the fiery nature of the sword itself. But such violent natures would be most keen to lead right into danger, someplace tiny Enthen wanted nothing to do with.

But wait, the Honedge seemed to demonstrate it wasn't able to control itself, so as long as the Cubone could keep it by its leash, so to speak. So it couldn't be so bad... right? Not everyone wanted to kill or hurt anybody, Enthen included. That would be okay, to have someone to who didn't look down upon him... was that part of what being a friend included? The poor Cyndaquil wish he knew, but it seemed like he was going to have to find everything out the hard way, like a child having to explore the world on his own. But he wasn't on his own, he had these two other with him... they could help, hopefully. Hopefully they might not berate him or harm him, maybe even protect him.

Sooner or later, though, Enthen knew he would have to truly protect himself. That was the moment he dreaded, for that would be the time that all the strength he could ever muster could not be enough.

The Fire Mouse Pokemon, trembling all the way, carefully stood itself on its miniscule limbs and made some endeavor to march towards the Cubone and Honedge. What he would do then, he couldn't say for sure. He couldn't say anything. Unconsciously, the Cyndaquil began emitting a quivering squeak or despair and fright. The Alakazam wanted him to introduce himself, to journey out with the Pokemon into filled as much with danger as there was wonder. He had to stand up, say something. As the gap closed and the trio was all in clear earshot of each other, Enthen stammered out with a weak, light voice, "U-uh.. m, I-I, I... I'm..." and then trailed off with a meek whimper.
So, the awkward lonely pokemon is grouped with the even MORE awkward, MORE lonely pokemon (me) and an extremely violent, possibly elitist and/or racist sword larger than the other two combined?

Looking at this carefully, Enthen is probably the one who will *have* to develop the most, but I can get a good idea how just by looking at my evolutionary line and its behaviors. Might not be unique in concept, but execution should hopefully turn out good. At the end of the day, this actually looks like the team that turns out to be the determined, infallible fighters later on.

And if Enthen and Caliburn get tied for height at their final evolutions, then it sounds very likely that the two will eventually find some way to get along and wield one another.
yay~
The poor Cyndaquil seemed about ready to keel over from sheer fright and embarrassment, the outlier among the crowd of the rather larger Pokemon. Everyone seemed larger and far more competent in what they intended to do that Enthan did, and that only served to widen the void he felt between himself and the others. They were gathered among the Alakazam, introducing themselves and garnering strange reactions from the Psychic. Indeed, this is not what the Great Seer intended, but what could be surprising him now? Perhaps the reality of the situation finally weighed upon him, that these characters were not champions from beyond, but individuals brought here without any knowledge of this world. Enthen didn't actually know or care about that, really. It might be selfish, sure, but he was pretty much a certified loner, never knowing how to get along with anyone. One could only wonder what life the miserable Enthen might have lived as a human that made him act like this.

Another voice, gruff yet light and possibly concerned, spoke right in front of him. The Cyndaquil's small body squirmed in surprise before regarding the voice through its slitted eyes, and leaping back in further surprise when confronted with the frightening figure in front of him, a meek, high-pitched cry escaping his muzzle. The other Pokemon- it was a big, black dog... er, Houndour? Whatever it was, it was big and scary to the small mouse-like creature, and therefore something to hide from. Or maybe that was just him trying not to interact with anybody. Either way, it was cowardly in a rather pitiable way, how he inched away as if standing his ground from the larger Pokemon that probably didn't mean to threaten him at all.

Before Enthen could act upon running away, the Psychic's voice wormed it's way into his mind again, and everyone else's as well, presumably. Somehow, it was a captivating sound, something that just forced him to stop and stare in wonder at this individual, the being who claimed to call itself the Great Seer very well admit that even he was by no means at all perfect. His admittance that he had unwillingly brought beings from another world across time and space here echoed in Enthen's mind, and he felt almost hypnotized. Being a loner meant that he had a lot of time to think alone, and to hear such wisdom from another seemed to spark this. Maybe this was a potential weakness for the tiny Pokemon.

But then the Seer began to regard the group directly. The Alakazam pointed slim, precise fingers towards trios of the different Pokemon in the group, and on instinct Enthen curled into a ball again when the Psychic's finger landed on him. This apparently paired him with a skull-wearing marsupial wielding both a club and a intricate, violent-red sword. Enthen didn't really like it, as much of the screaming and death was coming from that Pokemon. Or was it coming from the sword itself? Enthen couldn't tell, he didn't tend to memorize Pokemon very well at all; yet another reason of the many he felt he really shouldn't be here.

As Kulero finished, starting to talk to certain people in the group with more powerful voices (not Enthen, to his relief), the Cyndaquil regarded the Great Seer's command: Go North, through the forest- wait, which way was North? Probably where most of the forest was, if he mentioned it. Then there was a great city- oh no, big cities meant a lot of people, and Enthen clearly didn't like people, especially large crowds, and very especially considering the fact that many of such individuals in such crowds could now drastically hurt him in an instant. Nope, not fun, don't wanna do it. But that Psychic really wants it, so do I have a choice anyway? Can't be much better than what home might've been like. What was home, even? Given his disposition, probably terrible. So was it an improvement to go back there and continue being a miserable loner or whatever he was doing?
"Scatter! Don't let 'em box us in."

"Got it!" Cormag snapped back in confirmation, thrusting his CMF yet further away from the rocks to outrun the 3-manned split in the enemy. It looked like the other 2 enemy MFs intended to use the rock outcropping as additional cover; a plan surely doomed to fail regardless of their strategy against Blayke's Revenants' far more advanced arms. Drawing attention back to the larger portion of bots on his hands, Cormag twisted the Aegis into a semi-spin to re-face his foes. Again he drummed at their CMFs with the 35 mm 'Shredder', serving to suppress their own fire and peck away at their armor whenever possible.

The pursuit of the bots took its toll, though, when several heavy shells blasted the immediate area. One blast in particular struck the top of the Aegis' flathead platform, a shot that might've decapitated most any other MF. Cormag's cockpit quaked with shellshock and alarms, and as the veteran pilot struggled to retain control of the platform his CMF continued to be pelted by the enemy's autoguns. The pair of machineguns upon the front of the Aegis' platform popped forward, as all of Cormag's rotary weaponry retaliated against the bots, eventually pushing them back.

While the Aegis skidded away again, the bots attempted to redouble their efforts against it and the other Revenants, only to find themselves intercepting heavy fire from behind. Having taken advantage of a brief blind spot the bots made behind them, Cormag attempted to hammer down the enemy's machines with his 40 mm gun, the so-called 'Snipe Cannon'. The extreme-velocity shots threatened to tear though the gang's lesser reinforced armor; one pilot in particular closest to the Aegis found his control system compromised by the heavy fire.

"You holding up?" The Strigoi's pilot asked, and Cormag grunted as he fell back away from the gang's fire, "More or less. Got a big dent that'll need buffing out later." He was, of course, referring to the hot black scar atop the flathead mech.
