Ty Westgrove


- Mesalon Gym -


Ty looked around curiously as the group of trainers entered the monastery. There were a couple dated yet nice old benches, some quaint latticed windows, and some hot chick who seemed out of place yet welcome to the young man's eyes. Ty's smile morphed into a wide-eyed gaze as the purple-haired woman and Sophia immediately got into a catty argument. This was a situation the chill trainer both wanted to resolve ASAP, and had absolutely no idea how to do so.

Just as Sophia started to respond to that randomly rude flick, Ty heard a loud thump directly behind him, followed by a complaining grumble. He turned and looked down to see Hunk grunting urgently and gesturing toward a smaller hallway, where the gym trainers would be.

"Alright, alright buddy," Ty said to appease the Timburr. "I didn't forget. We just have to wait just a minute for everyone else to get ready."

Hunk sighed and sourly crossed his arms but accepted the terms, much like a small child in a grocery store.

The punk trainer returned to the larger conversation just in time to hear more about glory. The front desk dude explained how people were to enter the main gym, which seemed to be the destination of everyone but Ty, he presumed. Ty broke away from the group to ask the man about battling with a couple gym trainers. The front desk man pressed another pager and then immediately instructed Ty where to go.

"I gotta fight some gym trainers first," Ty explained generally toward the group, whoever cared to hear him. "Hunk needs a little more training. I'll try to go fast so I can watch as many of you as I can, though."

Ty peered over various heads to find Sophia, who was already forging ahead. He frowned a bit. A bunch of these random people were acting like jerks to her, for no good reason, on an important and stressful day, no less. Nobody needed that.

"'Ey, Sophia!" Ty shouted, pumping a fist into the air. "You got dis! ...Everyone got dis!"

With that, Ty and Hunk began to stroll toward the gym trainers' arena.
Am here, did post
Jeri


Jeri listened to the fluffy bunny as well as she could, but with all the danger and new information going around, she gave up on attempting to remember all the details. She decided to focus on the gourds and parsnips... she could remember that much... and if she encountered any mushrooms, she'd probably have to ask again if they were okay.

Celina flew toward the treetops and asked about other foods higher up. Jeri nodded in acknowledgement and swiveled her drill tail for a second.

"I can dig underground for more options, too," the Dunsparce declared with a hint of pride. It was the only thing she knew this Pokémon body to be exceptionally good at.

Jeri started forward with the search, laying flat to the ground, looking and feeling for anything that could maybe be vegetables.

Jeri


Jeri wandered over to the group gathered around Honey and nodded in approval at their questions.

"Good to get out all the questions here," the Dunsparce remarked. "We'll hafta stay real quiet in the woods if we wanna avoid a fight." Jeri gave a sidelong glance to Vi, who seemed most likely to disrupt the quiet, either through her own over-enthusiasm or frightening someone else into screaming.

As for her own questions... Jeri thought hard for a minute but couldn't come up with any additional queries. She was never very good at that. Jeri had always struggled to put her general confusion into concrete terms, and by the time she knew what she needed to ask, it was too late and the test was already in front of her.

"We gotta figure out how we're gonna arrange ourselves," the Dunsparce commented, happily moving away from biology to battle tactics. "Whoever can take a hit can go up front. Lookin' at you, walkin' suit of armor. Snipers... uh, ranged fighters... go in the back. If yer scared about fightin', stay in the middle and keep an eye out for surprises."

On the inside, Jeri knew she'd probably fall into the meat shields up front category. Her only ranged ability was a roaring ball that still exploded in her own face half the time. And she sure as heck was not gonna be no chicken.

The Dunsparce did her best to mask her fear with brave and commanding battle orders. Perhaps bossy to some, but soothing to her. And besides, she reassured herself, there were lots of allies. Instant healing berries existed in this world. Zombies were bad, but they only came out at night. Things will be fine...

Ty Westgrove


Mesalon Pokecenter ---> Mesalon Gym


Ty nodded in agreement as Amber discussed trying the grape trick for some of the other bladed Pokémon in the group.

"I think any of them could already start working with something still," the punk trainer added. "Something small and soft like strawberries. It's cool to find ways to train your Pokémon without any real bloodshed. Only juice-shed."

While the group began walking toward the gym, joined by a new trainer who seemed to know some of them, Ty envisioned epic blade-fighting scenes between their Pokémon. Armored warriors sword-fighting alongside their companions, the stark ring of clashing blades, a Mega Charizard spewing fire and smoke in the background. Ty relished the thought and the way it helped take his mind off his Scyther's near miss.

Ty snapped back to reality as he noticed Aedre begin speaking to him.

"Ty Westgrove," he responded to the greeting, extending a hand for a firm handshake. "Stunt Pokémon Trainer. Well... future."

Ty nodded politely at the Pokémon Aedre introduced. His expression turned contemplative as she asked about Reaper.

"Yeah, I caught him not too far from here," he began. "Weird to see one as close to civilization as he was. Didn't seem to be doing very well there, either. He was already hurt when I spotted him, and luckily, a Sing was able to put him over the edge."

Ty frowned down at Reaper's pokeball and sighed.

"I wish I had a more epic story," Ty admitted. "Reaper probably thinks I cheated. That I'm too weak to catch him fair and square. He can get cranky if I try to tell him to hold back. He has been getting better about that lately, but I'm worried this last incident might set him back..."

Ty walked quietly for a minute, gears turning to try to put an optimistic spin on this. Then he shrugged with a light smile.

"Or maybe, it means his behavior has gotten pretty good. He looked like he felt really bad about his mistake and walked away instead of arguing about it."

"But anyway, YOUR turn!" Ty addressed Aedre. "How did you get your sword Pokémon? And what kind of research do you do? I'm not much of a book smarts person, but researchers like you really help the rest of us out."

The leather-clad trainer expected the self-proclaimed researcher to babble ceaselessly about science stuff that sounded like it would be interesting if only he could hope to understand it. It was okay if he could only smile and nod, though. His fellow traveler might enjoy the chance to build up some camaraderie, and it would pass the time while they approached the gym.
@ItMeGritty Hi fren :) Check out the character creator sheet in the first post of OOC and start working on your character. Last time I knew, we could have up to 6 Pokémon up to level 16. Most of us are expected to have a spread of levels, with some Pokémon close to 16 and some a few lower. Make sure @LuckyBlackCat approves your character before you start posting.

Most of our characters are on the way to the normal-type gym in Mesalon City. The gym would probably be a good place for you to start and get integrated into the group. Nyxx is already there, if you'd like to strike up a conversation with her.

If you have any questions... you should probably ask LuckyBlackCat, they're the one who's actually in charge. XD
Hidden Power just can’t be Normal Typr.


Because, deep on the inside, nobody is Normal. :P
@Rune_Alchemist Hidden Power Fairy doesn't exist, bruh. XD Unless Lucius is willing to make an exception to a rule that only makes sense for math/game data reasons. According to Lucius' instructions as written, it should work?
T__T RNG was so good! Granted, it landed on a not super useful type... But, character development! Turns out Jeri's anger was her strength, not a weakness, the whole time. Now she just has to figure out how to use her anger better. T_T T_T <3 I wuv my jerk Dunsparce.

I'm also excited to see everyone else's hidden powers c:
Jeri


Jeri frowned at Seraph's guidance to 'empty your thoughts.' It sounded like some hippy meditation mumbo jumbo. Though, this was a new world with weird rules, so perhaps mumbo jumbo would actually do something here.

The Dunsparce tried very hard to focus on nothing. She couldn't think about her home. The big wrestling match she missed. She definitely couldn't think about the chilly raindrops that fell on her pancake body now and then. And she most certainly did not think about the crows, the zombies, the raining forever, and how stupid and frustrated she felt right now. Even as her mind faded to black for a second, Jeri realized with an audible huff that even blackness was a thing, and she wasn't supposed to think about things!!

The thoroughly frustrated Jeri opened her eyes a crack. Some of her companions were already starting to get ephemeral blobs of brief color. She briefly glared at them, then at Seraph, who talked like all this mind emptying stuff was so freakin easy!

Her fellow students may have had their lack of thoughts interrupted by a sudden sloshing sound as Jeri dug a hole into the soggy mud and followed her tail in backwards. She didn't care. Jeri just needed to be alone for a minute, away from the wind and possible threats, away from anyone who was getting this Pokémon stuff better than her. The dark, confining hole felt soothing to this Pokémon's instincts.

Don't think about Hidden Power, Jeri coached herself. One step at a time. Just stop being mad first.

Even that was easier said than done. But Jeri recalled her practice, her anger management skills from way back, before sports and high school, back when aggression was not acceptable for a little girl. Jeri breathed deeply and counted slowly from 10 to 1. As many times as it would take.

After several minutes, the emotions and numbers both numbed into vague form. All that remained was a little ball of ancient rage, small but dense, a core fragment that could never be removed...

Jeri opened her eyes to see a penny-sized ephemeral sphere floating in front of her face. A deep blue-violet mixed with small orange swirls. The instant an excited breath caught in her throat, the sphere exploded out with a roaring sound. The Dunsparce froze, wide-eyed for a second. Then she emerged from her hole, mud and a grin plastered on her face.

"Well, somethin' happened," Jeri remarked. "Not sure what type, but it was pretty dope. How 'bout y'all?"
