The water mage anticipated feeling resistance. She anticipated having to concentrate hard to keep her spells up. But a sound called the things into withdrawing and made her preparation unnecessary. For now. She didn't like it. She could almost sense Nolan was upset about it, and as soon as they disappeared beyond her barriers she turned her attention to him to see him looking more disgruntled than she saw him in the guildhall on the noisiest of days. But it seemed he quickly came to the same realization she did - they needed to remain clear headed, if not for being able to properly react to the beasts regrouping then to at least properly communicate with the guardsmen they were accompanying.

Seeing the nod to follow, Ria wasted no time dismounting and jogging lightly to catch up to him. As much as she was uncertain if lapsing concentration on her spells was viable, she knew how long it took for the magic to dissipate and determined it was worth the risk. They needed to plan and even if she were to concentrate long term they would need to be quick to implement a proper plan. It wouldn't do to be regrouping themselves and be caught proverbially with their pants around their ankles.

An alpha meant more danger; they had a leader. She dealt with plenty of dangerous beasts in her homelands that were even more deadly when they had an alpha commanding them. Much like a unifying commander could turn people dangerous enough on their own into deadly units with proper direction. They couldn't wait for the attack, they couldn't see to initiate an assault on the beasts, and it sounded like they were trying to negotiate help from warmages that were unlikely to come because of the guild. Which only left one true course of action as far as Ria could see it.

Her mismatched gaze drifted toward the netting she crafted overhead and tapped her finger to her chin. There was always a way to work around obstacles. You just had to be flexible. "The mission is to get this cargo to its destination. An alpha and our inability to see the Asterins right now eliminates the ability to properly plan a counterassault." The recap was necessary to help her process, and as the wheels in her head worked, she needed to recap out loud.

She dropped her finger as her attention turned to Nolan. While she wasn't fully certain exactly what he was capable of, she knew he was strong. She trusted his combat expertise more than she trusted her own. "Perhaps the best course of action is not to prepare for an assault or reinforce a defense here, but to mobilize. This area is secure. For now, certainly. However, I believe you and I are better suited in rallying further away from this location. If we can get them within reasonable distance of our goal, you and I can split off and create a distraction - if not fully eliminating the threat - and so the shipment can reach the destination. I can create a dome shield that should prevent the beasts from breaking through - " unless they hit it enough it takes too much energy to maintain, she thought but tried to keep the mental note from expressing on her face. "and drop it once we get to the right spot, but I'll need to ride with someone so I can focus entirely on maintaining it. What do you think?" She always trusted her defensive magic. It was the only thing her father ever considered any good from her and she was not afraid to give it her all to provide defense for the others.

Welp, there was no time like the present to proceed. With their marching order in line, and a quick calculation of the air temperature of the area, Mark adjusted the temperature of the area they walked to create a gentle breeze that pulled their way. It was pure calculation - not something he ever attempted - but the trick to hunting was staying downwind. The trick to being downwind was knowing the direction of the wind, and the direction of the wind was dependent on temperature (among other things) creating a negative pressure system in one direction. If they wanted to stand the best chance, this was it. There was only so much he could do about how noisy they were, and he hoped Adelyn took to heart the instruction to step carefully. The girl didn't seem like she went stalking through the woods to spy on animals, too much of a city life girl.

This wasn't an area he was familiar with - and given the species of animals he was completely unfamiliar with, he supposed it would do to become more acquainted with the terrain - but there were still some carry over principles to properly walking the woods. Stay aware of your surroundings, mind your direction, and watch your footing. The last thing he needed was for one of them to sprain an ankle before they were ever in danger from the beast. He didn't like the snipers nest they were putting their back to, but he just had to trust that Sergeant wouldn't take aim at any of them while they were so far removed from the town; that would be an easy way to get rid of some foreigners, for certain. Sergeant, likewise, was putting trust in the guild to help reduce further threats to the townspeople and his garrison. It was just easier to assume Sergeant was going to hold the reason to trust the group on higher regard than to stab - or rather shoot - them in the back.

Mark waited until they were almost a mile and a half out before silently signaling the other two to walk more carefully and get down lower. He took more care with his footsteps and watched more carefully for the location they had been described the creature resting in. He didn't want to take any chances they might spook it, and being low meant they could hopefully duck out of sight faster. With Adelyn between them, it also meant he could get her out of harm's way easier should the thing sense them and decide to attack.

Yup, that was the exact reaction Faye expected from Rosa. Right down to the dumbfounded stare. The farmgirl lived closer to the forest than the borderline-incapable-of-staying-on-task-for-more-than-a-few-moments trainer did and likely heard a lot more of the stories around the woods. At least, as reasons not to go in. Maybe it was morbid curiosity to venture into such a mysterious place (because you can't seriously call something the Illusive Woods and not expect people to want to go in there to see what made that all possible) and perhaps be the first in a century to get pictures within the forest. If she could get those - she'd certainly make a name for herself as pokemon photographer. So long as she could prove she didn't fake them - which was the whole point of getting a second person to go into the cursed place with her. And perhaps why she told Rosa. By Arceus! If she could get Rosa to corroborate the story it might help the claim even more.

Faye stifled a laugh at Rosa's comment regarding Tristan's battle. "Yeah, but if we stay to watch how it goes, he'll get a bigger head knowing he had an audience watching him."

The young trainer hoped she would find something rare, but she knew it was a bit too much to ask. Still, she did a mental roster of her current pokemon and which ones might help make her team a bit stronger. There were a few options here that made sense. A Taillow would give her another flying type. A Bounsweet would give her another grass type, as would a Gossifleur. A Combee would give her a bug type which she didn't currently have, as would a Sewaddle. Decisions, decisions... At the end of the day, it didn't matter - more pokemon was more pokemon. She'd need to catch more and train them all to build a stronger team anyways. For now, she wanted to focus on Tilia as her flying pokemon she supposed, and another normal type pokemon wouldn't be helpful. She already had Sage that was going to need evolving sooner rather than later; once she finally caved into making up her mind about that conversation.

So for now, she set her sights on catching a Bounsweet, with plans to go after a Sewaddle afterward.

4 days sounds good. Anything changes, lmk. Will do same for you. @zarkun


"I know I don't have to travel with him, but Sage and Tilia connected with his Riolu and Murkrow. It would be rude to them to ditch him - even if I texted him - to go traveling with someone else. They all deserve a chance to say goodbye. And besides that, Tristan and I..." She looked up at the sky as if Arceus might tell her how to phrase it, and scratched the back of her head. "Well, we're kinda working out the secret to being able to enter the Illusive Forest without, ya know, disappearing."
She looked at Rosa and laughed a bit sheepishly. "So a little bit is about not giving him the satisfaction of being the only one to get in there if I ditch him."

She lost the sheepish smile to a more thoughtful look. It occurred to her that the forest could colloquially be called Forest of Fae. Which was where she assumed the tinkatinks that stole the engine were supposed to be living. That farm seemed a bit out of the way for pokemon that might live in the forest, but it was reasonable they'd hid somewhere abandoned that was near their original home if something chased them out. What if there was something dangerous in the forest that chased them out? "Plus, I think there's something wrong in there. Didn't it seem odd to you that some tinkatinks were causing issues so far from where they might be typically found? Route 1 is not their natural habitat, as far as I know, right?"

Thankfully for both of them, those thoughts kept her distracted from the cacophony of distracting potential that is the town of Florasong. Before she realized it, they were in the park. Just in time for a different type of distracting noise to catch her attention. A pokemon battle in the park? Wait, was that Tristan?...battling - is that a gardener? Well that was worth a watch, but it also probably wasn't a bad time to take a bit and get another member for her team, or even perhaps just train up one or two of them.

"Hey, Rosa, how many 'mon do you have? I think I'm going to head over to that section to see what I can catch and-or maybe just train up my 'mon battling." It might have been good to watch how Tristan handled whatever was left of the battle, she couldn't keep ignoring the needs of training up her own team just to observe how her first traveling companion handled a battle. She could do that first hand by just challenging him.

Much as she suggested she would, Faye headed off to another section of the park no far away to see if she could find a rare pokemon, or at least uncommon pokemon, to capture. In lieu of that, she planned to just get her existing team members some battling experience.

Faye Wrexlyn




Faye wasn't certain what she was expecting, but when the pokemon tapped the pokeball to return into it she realized how excited she was that it agreed to be with her. She was smiling when she stood and hooked the pokeball back onto her holder with the others. It was a small team, but it was building. Now she just needed to get them a bit stronger. Hearing Rosa's quip made her chuckle. "Honestly, your sister kicking him might be enough to flatten him, much less Puck or Titania hitting him."

Of course the real question came up quite quickly. What was she going to do now. There was the chat she needed to have with Sage, but she also needed to meet up with Tristan at some point, probably. At least if she wanted backup for ever going into the forest. Which also meant she needed to do more research. This place was more likely to have information based on the history here. If anywhere had information on such a mysterious forest, it was going to be where Aria's estate was, with the park that likely hosted numerous rare flowers. Which, come to mind the park was worth seeing too. That wasn't even to think of the various shops to explore that Tristan surely browsed already. And...

"Dilapidated farmhouses...no. A rundown house with creepy vibes, maybe. Want to go ghost 'mon hunting?" She laughed, but mostly because she doubted that was truly an option. One house on the verge of collapse was enough for her for at least the day. It'd be interesting to see how the tinks did against ghost type, but Sage wasn't capable of fighting them. Not unless he evolved. Plus, there was the matter of eventually needing to meet up with Tristan still.

Then her pokedex buzzed. She pulled it out and glanced at the message. "Huh..." She read the message again then laughed. "Maybe we could ditch Tristan for an upgrade in traveling companion after all..." Let's be real, Tristan was barely interested in traveling with her in the first place. She essentially bullied him into it ultimately because she wanted to not travel by herself. Her father said the trainers that did the best were ones that learned about and trained pokemon with others. The pictures he shared of her mother when she was still an aspiring trainer were always group pictures of her mother's group of friends and their favored pokemon.

She pocketed her pokedex for a moment and scrolled back through the pictures she'd taken while they were in Kapoc's lab to see if she had any pictures of this Jason guy. Process of elimination was easy, and she showed the image of the guy to Rosa. "This guy just texted me to ask if I wanted to travel with him. But...He's over in Starbor. Crossing Lake Charity is the most direct route there at this point." There was the side fact that her Rowlett and Eevee had made friends with Tristan's Murkrow and Roilu. It would be a shame to just ditch their trainer without the pokemon getting to say goodbye. "I think the responsible thing would be to stick with Tristan though...at least for a bit longer." she sighed.

Maybe there was a different option. Faye pulled out her pokedex and opened the map app on it. After a quick scan, she switched over to her messenger and start typing but soon enough she sent a response.
Hey, Faye here. I'd totally take you up on that except I'm traveling with Tristan right now, and we're in Florasong. Maybe we can all plan to meet up in Vastille City in about three days? Florasong has a gym we're hoping to tackle before we head out. There's other intersections between your route and mine that we can plan for later if that timeline doesn't work. Let me know.@zarkun


She tucked her pokedex away again, and looked back at Rosa. "Honestly, right now, why don't we head over to Aria's Park? I haven't actually done any sightseeing here, and it'd be a great stop to check out before we head off to find Tristan, don't you think?" And if Rosa agreed, she'd head off to the park.

Faye Wrexlyn




Okay, Rosa had a point. She hadn't actually stopped to think about the fact Tristan was kinda cute, but then there was the fact that she heard him rant about being the greatest trainer ever before she ever really got a look at his face. So maybe her opinion was skewed. Something else that she wasn't exactly cluing Rosa in on was that Tristan had been willing to go along with her reckless plan to go into the forest earlier. Before she lost her own nerve. So a willingness to go along with her hairbrained plans was a bonus. What fun was it to get into trouble alone when you could have someone watching your back?

"Well, you're welcome to join us to see if you get an idea. Like I said, Tristan's not as bad as he first seems."

Which reminded her of the stone in her pocket and the Eevee at her side. Just in time for their ride to get there. His help getting all the pokemon healed up at least crossed one more thing off her to-do list. And giving over the bit of metal she had on her - some can goods and her camping saw) to the Tinkatink that helped her checked off another thing. Partially.

While Faye may have missed opportunities to snap some pictures of the Tinkatinks working on their weapons before she interrupted them, she seized the chance to capture a plenty of pictures of the pokemon working with the burly rancher to get the engine relocated. Mr. Anderson was even nice enough to give them a ride directly to Critical Capture, which Faye was especially grateful for given she knew she'd be hiking most of her entire journey just to avoid missing as much as she could avoid missing. With several parting thanks, she entered the store.

Maybe she shouldn't have been surprised by how excited the shopkeep was, but at least she didn't look it given even in his excitement he still voiced what he had before - that it might not have been something she could fix. "Yeah, well, it was easy once it got down to it. Glad it was something relatively easy to settle. Though I'm still not entirely sure why the Tinkatinks thought an engine would be better for their clubs than any of the tools the farmer had laying about." She shrugged lightly, and a smile brightened her look.

She blinked when Rosa piped up, and looked a bit sheepish. "Oh, yeah. That'd be awful kind of you to spare some for her too. If it wasn't for Rosa here, that truck might not be getting repaired and on its way here. By the way, do yo have any scrap metal you could sell me? Thanks!

With that paid for, and Rosa's deal done, the trainer stepped outside. There were two conversations with Pokemon that she needed to have, but the most pressing one first...the tinkatink she had put in a pokeball to just help take it for healing before she realized Rosa's dad was going to help them out with it. The purple haired trainer released the Tinkatink she hadn't rightfully caught from its pokeball and crouched down. She held out the scrap metal to it. "I promised you lot you could have some metal if you gave up that engine. While we took it from you, I still want you to have something to make better clubs with. The other one got the metal I offered before, and this is for you. You're welcome to come with me, but I'm not going to make you. If you do come with me, I promise I'll keep you safe and help make sure you always have the best club you can. Just like I'm going to do for Titania. So...will you come with me? Or do you want to go join your other friend - just promise not to steal any more engines, okay?"

Faye Wrexlyn




"I actually was hoping to convince the 'mon to bring the engine back and avoid a fight all together," Faye admitted with a laugh. "Planned to figure out another way after the fight once that stopped being an option." She would have figured out something. It just would have taken a bit more thinking than Rosa needed. Or a lot more waiting if she tried the same method Rosa was able to employ and call a relative to help. Little thought out, but the main goal at the moment of assessing the situation was keeping the engine from getting destroyed.

When the farmgirl explained her predicament, the other trainer listened. It made sense why Rosa's parents thought it was a good idea. Most parents would, wouldn't they? But it sounded completely opposite of what she dealt with to get into the league. She had to convince her mom to let her, and even then her mom still didn't seem okay with the idea. There was more to unpack with that, but she figured she'd discover the depths of why as she developed a better understanding of what it might be.

Though being told to be more like Tristan brought an involuntary reflex to make a disgusted face. "That's only because they only know the fancy face he put on for them."

Then she laughed softly. "They probably wouldn't have said that if they knew how he departed Kapoc's lab." Faye blinked and pulled out her phone. It took only a second to pull up the first picture she took with Sage, then another moment to zoom in above Sage's head on the background image of Kapoc's Hydreigon dropping Tristan on the curb outside the lab. She offered her phone to Rosa to share in the laugh.

"Though, to play devil's advocate, it might not be bad to travel a bit. Not necessarily to see the world, but - like wouldn't it have been nice to be able to solve whatever problem it was that Tristan helped your folks out with? Think he could have handled that without at least one Pokemon? Think we could have saved the engine without Pokemon? I certainly tried." She laughed. "The stronger our Pokemon partners, and the better our bond with them, the easier it will be to help solve problems presented us. I'm not saying you should have to travel far and wide, but I think it might be good to at least travel a little. And you don't have to do it alone. You could come with me - though I suppose I should warn you I am traveling with Tristan for now."

Faye had reached down to pick up the unconscious Tinkatank's ball and hadn't seen the Pokédex. She'd assumed it was a phone, until she glanced over to Rosa upon hearing that Rosa was calling her dad. That definitely didn't look like any cell phone the young trainer had ever seen. It almost looked like... The thought blinked out of her head as her companion caught her off guard with the comment. "Oh, hi back?"

Yup, there were more questions. She could feel them in the back of her head, but none of them were fully articulated yet. Kind of like when she started researching areas; there was one main question which typically gets answered easily then everything else is just following threads without any tangible question to answer by tugging on it. That was how this was going to have to go. She answered the one question she had to ask - how to get the engine back to the farmer. The rest...was all about getting to know this girl a bit better. Obviously a girl that was outfitted as a trainer for this region given the style of the Pokédex. Which meant sometime within the last few weeks, months - year? two? - the farmgirl was outfitted as a trainer. That didn't necessarily mean her goal was to hit gyms and face the league though.

The purple haired trainer laughed softly at the dumbfounded look on Rosa's face. "You've said that a lot. Sounds like we have a bit of time, though." She motioned for the other girl to sit as she herself took a seat beside both her pokemon. "I think the more relevant question at the moment is what lead you to this farm house? Not that I'm expecting upset at the help, couldn't have done it without you. Just, I guess, wondering why you showed up. I mean, there's also how long you've been a trainer, and what other Pokémon you have, and if you're going to compete with the gyms...but again, we'll have time I think."

Faye Wrexlyn




Holy shit I caught one. The thought had only two seconds to float through Faye's head before she had to get back into the battle. One down, but one left to go. Which was when she saw the friendly one knock its friend out. Poor thing. She was definitely happier to catch the pokemon (outside of it clearly being part of the requirements of being a trainer) than simply beat them unconscious given they didn't seem like they wanted to do harm so much as they wanted metal to make their clubs. They didn't really do anything wrong except refuse to return the engine.

As much as she didn't like the idea of it, she still threw a ball at the unconscious Tinkatank. She needed a way to bring the thing back to a pokecenter to get healed, at the very least. Then to stop somewhere to get them some proper metal for them to make their clubs. She was a person of her word, and these mon deserved it. After that, she'd figure out where these were from and let at least that one go. Or find it somewhere safe to let it go. It wasn't fair to it or her to force it to stay with her. If the ball didn't work, she'd just have to carry it back in her arms and still planned to help get it whatever it needed to avoid it stealing engines from farmers.

She plucked up her new Tinkatank as Sage trotted to her side. Tilia joined them, landing on her shoulder, a few moments after. The purple haired trainer looked over at the friendly Tinkatank again. "I'm sure that wasn't easy for you to do. Thank you. I promise I'll get your friends fixed and get you guys the metal, just like I said. Please, stay with us until then."

Her attention turned back to Rosa. She finally let out a soft sigh of relief. "Well, when I got here, they were making clubs out of metal so I think they snatched it to use in making better clubs. Sage and Tilia tried helping me reason with them. The three we fought said something to my 'mon that I really couldn't fathom a guess as to what was actually said, but it sounded serious. And, well, they weren't all willing to give it up peacefully." She glanced at the engine then Rosa. "Okay, I gotta know, what got you all the way out here? Figured you were probably helping around the farm or stuck on babysitter duty again today. Actually - no - that question should probably wait. Right now, the most important question is how the heck are we getting this engine back to the orchard?" She laughed softly. "With one of them unconscious, and I think it took all four of them to move it here...We're a bit shorthanded I think. Got ideas?"

Faye barely had time to process the how fast Tinkatanks, let alone the very thing she wished to avoid was about to happen, when the one fighting Tilia ran up the wall. The pit fell out of her stomach. Then the next moment, another Tinkatink smashed the one that was fighting Tilia. What? She blinked then looked at the ground beside her, then back at the new Tinkatink in the fight. She felt bad about the fight but worse now that the pokemon was fighting its friends.

"Thank you, um, Tinkatink." She had assumed the Tinkatink would sit it out rather than fight. She was grateful it was help, absolutely. Hopefully Tilia didn't get confused about it. "Tilia, tackle it again!" Depending how that one was looking after another tackle, she'd try to catch it. Catching them seemed the only way to really deal with them without completely making her feel awful about everything.

Thankfully Sage was holding up well enough after taking a hit from the Tinkatank and his determination to help managed to get it out the door. Maybe that hit was hard enough to daze it enough for the trainer to finally step in to eliminate the threat. Only one way to find out. The pulled out a pokeball, prepared it, then threw it at the Tinkatink. Fingers crossed - otherwise Sage had more fighting to do.
In Pokémon: There and Back Again → 7 mos ago Forum: Casual Roleplay


Faye Wrexlyn




"Tilia, try to block the Tinkatink's wind attack with Leafage and Tackle it again."

Faye knew her Rowlet was of little match for the fairy pokemon, but there was only so much she could do to deal with it. If Tilia got too hurt, she'd have to leave everything up to Sage. That poor Eevee wasn't going to fair much better. So she just had to hope the two could tough it out. At least until her friend could handle that third Tinkatink and turn her pokemon to help.

Her attention turned back to Sage and the now blinded Tinkatink. It was swinging wildly. Too wildly. They were fighting in the old farmhouse and that not only put the structure in danger, but it put the engine in even greater danger than it was before. There were no good options.

Which left only desperate, bad ones.

"Sage, dodge around the hammer. Use your speed, Growl, and Tackle to it toward the door. Then Tackle it outside. We cannot have it hit that engine."
