@Joshua Tamashii - Night

The Pumpkaboo charged forth, confident in its victory, its tiny mouth grinning as it filled itself to shout out at Shuppet for another decisive blow. Seeing how Shuppet wasn’t moving to avoid it, it assumed its victory to be inevitable. And then… Amelia gave her command. Pumpkaboo hadn’t noticed the change in expression.

The super-sized pumpkin opened its mouth to shout as it came in to make impact, but instead it found itself screamed in the face. Screech, a move that amplified the shout of a Pokémon to be earsplitting, was far louder than his little Astonish shout. Shuppets scream was loud enough to cause the whole crowd of watching Pumpkaboos to recoil, even Laurinda and the Gourgeists over there might have twitched a bit, but her opponent took the scream right by the source before it had started to exponentially decrease.

‘KABOO!’ The giant Pumpkaboo recoiled in pain, hardly gifted with anything which it could use to block the sound, and without the sound Astonish was no longer a Ghost-type move and the forward momentum of the pumpkin simply carried it through Shuppet. It quickly tried to spin around to face its opponent once again, but its ears were ringing and defense sharply decreased, it wasn’t able to regain its bearing fast enough before-

Kapof! Shuppet hit into the weakened Pumpkaboo with a super-effective Knock-Off, sending something flying. The pumpkin recoiled, tiny eyes and mouth wide.

‘Kaaaaaaaaa…’ And the big thing fell, making a sound as it impacted the ground and rolled onto its back, staring up into the sky. The battle was over.

Litwick grew to Level 7! Litwick learned Fire Spin!

Shuppet grew to Level 6!


Meanwhile, because Pumpkaboo had ran through Shuppet, this placed it between Amelia and her Pokémon, meaning the item that was knocked-off likely came flying towards her in a gentle arc, pretty much perfect for her to catch it.

Amelia obtained Miracle Seed!


So, with that, Amelia was victorious. Realizing what had happened, the Pumpkaboos gave a little varied cheer depending on the individual, many looked like they’d cheer regardless of who’d won, really. The tiny pumpkin which had originally come forward to her before the bigger one interrupted came forth and looked at his big brother from the side a little…

‘Pumpka.’ Which pretty much translated to “Thanks for looking out for me”. He then turned and smiled up at Amelia.

‘Pumpkaboo?’ “So, can I come?”



… And to update on the surrounding situation, there’s still Laurinda standing prepared to battle with her Trevenant and Chandelure glaring at a host of four Gourgeists, and a couple more floating about in the background, the Gourgeists looking mostly amused and maybe playful, though Laurinda had warned that they had a tendency to become aggressive. Phantump could probably affirm that, the Gourgeists of Wilted Woods had a tendency to “playfully” attack travellers within, and be pretty merciless while doing so. Though, they mostly appeared to just be observing an amusing situation involving their young, now.

Ralia got off her Double Team without a hitch, doubling up numerous times… but the bubbles were too many to dodge by replicating as they hit pretty much all the duplications anyways. However, as the attack had been spread out, it didn’t do a lot of damage and Bubble was a low-powered move to begin with, but it was an advantage that Froakie had obtained for his team. It wasn’t so annoying so that Ralia couldn’t get off a Growl, however, collectively decreasing the attack of the enemy team. Meditite and Froakie didn’t look particularly bothered, but Mienfoo gave an annoyed stare and then closed its eyes again to Meditate once more.

Ritz picked up Del and carried him, trying to avoid the bubbles. While one or two hit, it only caused superficial damage to the ladybug and Del was protected. However, the moment the two of them emerged from the bubbles out of the shrine, the floating humanoid thrust its hands at them.

‘Meditite!’ And so, with little time to prepare Ritz was hit by Confusion, taking a mental punch from the meditation Pokémon. While perhaps reeling from the hit, Ritz would be able to stay airborne and avoid becoming confused himself with not all that much damage. He has pretty decent special defense. In return, Del started shooting out its strings of web at the opponents. Both Froakie and Mienfoo blinked from their respective actions, shooting bubbles and meditating, and successfully dodged the strings at the cost of stopping what they were doing, Mienfoo unsuccessful with regaining its attack. Meditite, though, couldn’t dodge and settled for protecting its face with its arms, still smirking behind it as it got webbed where it was floating.

‘Froakie! Keep the Ralts forced down, more bubbles! Meditite, Mienfoo, take down the bugs! Confusion, Pound!’ Their trainer commanded, pointing in the directions of the varying targets as she did.

Mienfoo unhappily discarded its attempts at meditation, but instead utilized its speed to chase after Ritz while dodging Del’s webs. It was noticeably faster than Ritz, aiming for a time to jump and Pound. It was slowed down by having to dodge the shots, maybe enough to keep it at bay, but then there was Meditite, who while webbed only needed its mind to use Confusion, and it was smirking and aiming.

Froakie had noticed which Ralia had been hit by bubbles previously, and utilizing considerable speed it jumped closer and sprayed out more tightly focused bubbles in her direction. If she replicated again, he’d spread out his bubbles more to aim for all of them. The intention was not necessarily to take her out, more to ensure she was too busy to help out otherwise.

Around them multiple Chinglings escaped noticing that a battle was breaking out, and they were apparently not interested in participating.




So, Lure was floating around, enjoying her honey…

‘Zig?’ … There sat a Zigzagoon beneath her. It had put down its golden ball on the ground, and then looked up at her, slightly licking its mouth. It had been attracted by the smell of honey, because Zigzagoons have pretty good smell. It wanted some, staring intently at her. It looked extremely unintelligent right about now, a small animal that wanted some of that from the bee.
@Spiffy Well. If she's running through dust the wind she creates by moving would stir the dust. It'd move like there's an object there, but that which hits her would vanish as it becomes part of what she's wearing and she curves the light around it. That might be visible in its own way. It's definitely not a situation she wants to be in, as little visible dust and such as possible, haha. But, yes. No worries. We'll play this out and see how it goes.
@Spiffy I'm a little confused how she'd be visible to any observer. I mean... if she was hit by a whole lot of dust, the dust would simply turn invisible along with her because she's keeping the light from her physical body and all on it, though depending on her reflexes that would possibly mean there'd be an unnatural oval emptiness in it if she can't adapt. If she's hit by anything bigger, then they'd be unnaturally stopped, yes, potentially making it clear to an observer that someone's there depending on the circumstances, but she wouldn't become visible unless she somehow lost control.

But, anyways. Acknowledged. Then I know what I wanted to know. Thank you.

@t2wave Oh, man. I really like the investment in Blood Magic/Vitality combo. And Stone-specialization fits that perfectly. Clever. Nice.

@skarsgard At the very least, there is a perk for natural aging, meaning it is common that we live for a very long time. There's also the thing on Interdimensional Tourist, he skips dimensions every hundred years or so and we can go with him if we want to, implying that, well, at least 100 years. Haha.

And, of course, there are numerous references to that Magical Girls come back even if they die, in fact they're locked in an eternal cycle and you need the perk "A Way Out" to escape it. While I do believe our GM has the power to customize this if this doesn't fit the roleplay as he desires it, but that's how it looks from here.

And, well. I'll assume Mariette hasn't been around for too long, or she's inept at her job. But, Asengav's filled her with enough stuff that she's working like an experienced girl, so. Yeah.
For anyone wondering, I've opened a PM conversation with Dark Light and Crossfire about reading Arex's mind.

I'm not entirely sure which of them is in control about what's in there, but awaiting results.
@Pyromaniacwolf Alright. Thanks for keeping us updated.

I'll get a post up, for those who are waiting, tomorrow. Or tonight. Depends on real-life things.

Edit: For my own mental health, tomorrow, hopefully. There's the chance I won't get the time, but I'll make an effort.
@Spiffy If it's clouded enough that you need to specify that one can still see through, then I assume it's too tight for Wisp to actually get close. She'll stop right outside and consider her options until further notice. And, heh, do you mean that her form would become visible to him or to any observer? The former would imply he knows the exact location of all he controls and feels if something's blocking the way, even behind him. The latter's, well, not really due to the way she curves light around, but things impacting her would make her presence there a lot more obvious for entirely different reasons. XD

@Spiffy@ProPro And, um, the question was not actually about Wisp, more about her clothing and items. Like, is he automatically aware of items that can be affected, is it really a storm of telekinesis that affects everything in the target area or does he select things to affect based of what he's aware of? If the first, he'd find Wisp, but it doesn't sound like that's it. If the second, that means Wisp's clothing would be affected if he started the storm and she's in it. If the third, she and her clothing would be entirely unaffected, assuming nothing hit her.

Suppose the answer to said question isn't necessarily relevant until things actually pick up, but, heh.

@Spiffy How tight are those objects floating? I just assumed there'd be enough room for a person right now, but if there isn't, then Wisp has a problem and I need to edit that post.

And, uh, he just exerted force in a circle around him when he was making that whirlwind, or does he have some kind of way of knowing what's in his range? Or would Wisp just be carried along if he resumed while she was in there? ... She's ready to attempt fleeing if she notices any force on her. XD

Rocker Warehouse



Wisp drifted slowly through the warehouse floor, keeping a distance from the intruder. A suited man in a mask, smoking. She could easily imagine him being the ruler of the city underworld in the near future, with how powerful his power appeared and how ambitious he seemed. While invisible, she slowly and silently wandered on her socks to behind him. Made no sense to approach from any other direction. She drew her knife, but she wasn’t sure what she wanted to do with it.

There was stabbing him and going for the kill, but she found the notion nauseating. Much worse than she had thought it would be. She could put the knife against his throat and try to make him submit… but it was all too easy to imagine him breaking her body in half with a mere thought as soon as he was aware of her. She could blind him or stab one of his limbs to incapacitate him… but then maybe he’d send a burst of kinetic energy that’d send her crashing into a wall with at least one broken limb.

The whirlwind of things slowed to a stop as Shatterpoint spoke to him. This… could be the opportunity she needed. But, how was he aware of the things around him? Wisp feared he might have a sense for detecting physical bodies around him, in which case she’d be found. … No, that’s silly, she told herself. She had to tell herself that, because this was likely the only chance she’d get. Because ten second later, she was a few meters directly behind him, and the objects had stopped.

Wisp started moving forward towards his back. She still wasn’t sure WHAT she’d do if she reached him, but she started moving. Her skill at dodging people would prove valuable as she could keep in mind all the positions of the frozen objects and maneuver through silently without touching any of them, unknowingly supported by her minor Thinker power. However, she was being careful, taking her time. She wouldn’t arrive before at least one more exchange had taken place, and by then, the situation might have changed.
