Now for the opposite. Now I'm only tagging those that are spoken to directly. Heh.

Two people talked to her, I asked Captor over PM if I should go ahead, and I got the go ahead. So, there.
Mariette
and Eli


Mariette’s eyes briefly wandered to look at Sue as she landed in front of her. The bird had simple, reasonable questions. She frowned a bit, looking back at the battlefield.

‘Sue…’ Eli blinked at Sue as the diving petrel landed and spoke to them. Th-that was the one that… Deni had told a bit about her, between the meeting at the Pit Stop and what had later happened. They had arranged to… The liquid harpy bit together, her expression pained and sad, thinking of how to say it.

‘Justine made an attempt on my life.’ Mariette calmly explained her appearance, having none of the hesitation Eli had. Eli blinked a little in surprise, as this was news to her too, before Mariette continued. ‘Deni’s dead.’

Spoken without a shred of emotion in her voice. Eli grimaced in pain.

‘Sh-she defended mistress from an attack by Caroline von Visceral.’ Eli explained, her voice shaking. ‘I-it wasn’t MEANT to be a self-sacrifice… but we couldn’t save her…’ Eli closed her eyes as she spoke with a weak voice, black liquids threatening to spill from her already liquid eyes as she explained.

Then came ANOTHER bird to talk to her. Mariette frowned in annoyance. Is this what happens when you show yourself in public? Birds come up to talk to you? How annoying. This was the first time she really had shown herself publically like this, and she found distaste in how they could just up and ask her questions without her permission.

Regardless, she had her answers.

“Are you able to go to a place called The Overcity?”
‘I am.’
“Your ability might be needed”
‘I know.’

Her answers were short, confident, and to the point. She started walking forward, in mid-air, the portal under her feet moving to accommodate her moving forward. Mariette then spoke, opening tiny portals near herself and near Alexander (and anyone still near him), to transfer her words.

‘I came here to speak to Lily Hanson.’ So she said, still holding her stuffed bunny. ‘… But I see that’s no longer possible.’ She said, stopping eventually, looking down specifically at Alex where she still stood in mid-air, still in a dress damaged from the debris that had earlier fallen on her and bruises on the arms she had used to defend herself with.

She expected to be requested to be taken to Justine’s base right now.

Her most likely answer: You’re in no state to lay siege to Justine’s fortress. If I take you there as you are, you will die. … At least, that’s what she was preparing to say. She then expected argumentation. Perhaps she’d change her mind. But, she was open to being surprised.

Left behind on the rooftop was Eli, trying to hold herself together after having had to recall what happened to Deni, shaking and holding herself with a pained expression on the liquid harpy.

@Eklispe Statement: The Pichus were lower level. Hm. Maybe I should hint that somehow? Haha.

But no, I'm not going to allow people to catch fainted Pokémon. Takes away a bit of the challenge.

@Pikmin Eye Nicely posted. Yupp, simple enough.

roleplayerguild.com/posts/4169072 - Found where Nincada learned Sand Attack. Search "Sand" for quick reference.
@Rune_Alchemist There are choices that could be made there, so a moment's pause there.

@Eklispe So, um. Aiming super-effective moves on Pokémon you intend to catch, eh? Alright, then.

@Joshua Tamashii Jacques had multiple things he wanted to ask, asking them in a line would be unnatural, but I didn't want to make that three posts in a row, so here. My compromise. Hah.

@Pikmin Eye I will note, I do believe Nincada should have previously learned Sand-Attack, but I don't see that in your little hider. Anyways. I will note, if you want to go down the pool yourself later, I won't allow you to automatically breathe underwater. xD
Nicely posted, and moving on.

‘Oooh…!’ Alberto was wide-eyed as he got to play a bit with Ralia, poking the Pokémon lightly and playfully while reaching for those climbing on him to see if he could put one on his head or similar silly antics because he was finding this amazing. ‘Absolutely…!’ He responded to the claim Ralia’s adorable.

Meanwhile Lucia simply stood upright keeping her eyes more on Alberto right now, ignoring any other looks. Like, he was her most important priority right now, and playing was fine but she was keeping an eye on him just in case he did something she didn’t approve of. Didn’t seem like there was any problems with playing with Ralia.

‘… Hmpf!’ Yvonne made a self-content sound about being good at “skedaddling”. ‘I’m going to assume you mean practicing our contest performances. Very well. Then we’ll need a sufficiently private stage. How about-’

‘Oh, I could borrow you my private one? It’s in the backstage area of the Dreamer Studi-’ Alberto started, raising his chin to the current discussion, but his interruption was interrupted by Yvonne continuing.

‘… we go out on Route 11 and find somewhere. I heard there are abandoned buildings out there. They should do. Okay, so I’m to pick type… but what categories are you prepared to compete in? Any, or are you focused?’ Yvonne asked Claire, giving a serious stare and a smirk.

‘Um.’ Alberto clearly wasn’t seeing the problem with his own proposition, looking over from Yvonne to Claire now, confused. Yvonne’s already directing one foot to start walking, if Claire would like to follow.

Would she?

Wooper came out, aimed her shot, and Mud Shot was away!

‘Chu?’ The targeted Pichu raises it’s ears a little as it somehow senses the incoming shot of mud before-

The shot of mud impacts the Pichu, which is sent rolling into a tree and hits it, it’s eyes crossed out and out.

It’s Super Effective! Pichu fainted!

… That is, not in a state to be captured.

The remaining Pichus, panicked by the ambush, scattered, running in separate directions. So did the Pikachus, running as mouse tend to upon being attacked. Two of them, however, frowned notably and dashed up towards Wooper on four legs each and tail in the winds.

‘Pika-CHUUUUUUU…!’ They launched their Thundershocks, in their intentions to counter the attack. However, they clearly hadn’t taken done their type-matchup homework, because Wooper had absolutely nothing to fear from the yellow electrical bolts trying to zap her. The willpower to fight immediately drained from the expressions of the two attacking Pikachu, their legs breaking to stop and expressions replaced with doubtful ones. Ooops.

Anyways. The Pichus he was after were fleeing in three different directions and one was lying fainted. Two Pikachus had moved to attack, buuuut their violent intentions just went out along with their electric sparks as they hit Wooper. Now, what?

Amelia let out her Pokémon, and they could feed as they liked. Now, Pokémon-food are sorted by kind of body rather than type, but there’s probably something in there that’s good for them. Charmander got its own little piece of food to eat, though Jacques wasn’t letting out any of his own Pokémon.

‘Oh?’ Jacques raised an eyebrow, looking at Amelia. ‘You can sense spirits, know when they’re around… you say?’ He then inspected her Pokémon as they came out, his eyes lingering on each. They stopped when he reached Phantump, considering. ‘That’s very interesting. Such abilities exist in minor amounts in various Mediums, but to that degree… I know of only three others. None of them is a fan of me. Granted, two of them aren’t particularly fans of anyone, but…’ He chuckles thinking about something, a personal joke, perhaps.

‘Oooh. Now I see.’ Charl commented, looking towards Litwick with a little smile. ‘Alright. I know what you were thinking. Hmm.’ He was clearly thinking about it, even if he wouldn’t be attempting it. Jacques, though, turned to look at Amelia again.

Now, Jacques has multiple questions that he’d wish to ask, but asking each one at a time would take ages, so here’s the questions that aren’t necessarily asked without waiting for Amelia’s answer in between.

‘I’m curious. Was there any particular way this ability manifested?’
‘Do you have any interest in others who can do similar things? Anything you’d wish to ask them?’
‘So, with that ability of yours… What are your ambitions? Anything that concerns your ghosts, perhaps? Fu-fu.’

Jacques fairly naturally picked something from a somewhat higher price-class, like that’s just natural, while Charles took something more modest.

Now, Nincada doesn’t know Tackle. But a few Scratches later, intercepting the Zubats as they were descending to attack, the bat Pokémon were fainting or fleeing, and Martin was free to head on, Nincada a few exp-points richer.

Arriving in the corner of the cave with the pool, Bulbasaur came out and shot his Leech Seeds at the Slowpoke.

The Slowpoke was hit. The seeds started draining it.

Slowpoke didn’t move. The seeds continued draining it.

Slowpoke sat, not moving, dumb blank face looking at the wall. It didn’t seem to have noticed the-

‘SLOW!?’ The Slowpoke suddenly called out, startled, numerous seconds later than it felt reasonable that it should. It spun around, identifying the attacker and turned towards Sprout, a splash of water following it as the tail whipped out of the water. Making a (delayed) decision…

‘… POKE!’ Tail in the winds, the Slowpoke darted towards Sprout on four legs, intending on delivering a Tackle.

The rest of the Slowpokes didn’t seem to have noticed that there was suddenly a battle happening, sitting there so silently.
... Heh. You sure you want to know that, Sue? ... Very well, then.
Did I miss anyone? Oh, yeah.

@DarkwolfX37 You. I missed you. Hah.

I tagged basically anyone who one could imagine looking in her direction for any incomprehensible reason. I'm just going to place her there.

Tell me if I'm forgetting to react to something massive, somehow. Or if I somehow reacted to something I couldn't. Or if anything else is a major error of some kind. Hah.
Eli


Owah, owah, owah! It had been such an intense battle!

Eli was hidden, on a nearby rooftop, eyes wide as she had been watching all that happened, and all those involved. Multiple times she had considered forming her arms into a rifle, shooting to support those fighting the servants of Justine. Yet… yet she hadn’t. Partly because she knew she wasn’t anywhere NEAR the level of the combatants taking part in this battle. She was only half a magical girl. Her bullets would have minimal effect. Her power… was mainly the power to stay alive. Reinforcement, darkness. It was spells of defense and stealth. She wasn’t a combat mage.

Instead, she had stayed hidden, watching, lamenting. She had seen Sonia steal Lily. She had seen the ensuing rage. She had learned a new way of using Reinforcement magic, although she doubted she could use it like Alex had. Finally, they killed Minnie. One less minion of Justine to worry about. And now… they were talking about going to save Lily. Eli sighed. Mariette had that ability, but would she-

Eli flinched as she felt magic she recognized above her.

Mariette


‘…’ Mariette stood, in mid-air, staring down at the scene. The portal had simply appeared in mid-air, and Mariette had let herself stand on top of it, her own method of flying. Her dress was… in a bad state. Multiple parts of it was ripped due to the debris that had fallen onto her, parts of her arms were somewhat bruised, and the remnants of dirt and dust were over her dark clothes. She looked less than fine.

‘Mistress…!’ Eli called silently in alarm, looking up at Mariette, shocked to see her in this state before remembering there may still be point to hiding and kept her head low, watching wide-eyed.

Mariette didn’t act. She simply stood, clutching her bunny, watching the remnants of the battle in front of her with the eye not under an eyepatch, and saw that there was a situation by Amber’s ship that hadn’t been resolved yet. She didn’t approach anyone, but stayed there, showing her existence to those present.
