Week 17.
WEEK 17 There are disturbances in Veilstone. Although perhaps saying that there are disturbances in Veilstone is understating it; the first thing that's going to be immediately noticeable is the fact that there are few to no people outside of their residences. They're still there, they're definitely present in town, and it doesn't look like Team Galactic has done any mass recruitment recently; at the same time, they don't seem inclined to leave their homes unless their task is absolutely necessary. The reasons why will soon become apparent, the longer you remain in the city; soft bursts of force will ripple across the city from time to time, and every time they do something shifts. The edges of buildings will suddenly decay, aging before your eyes into something that seems to have been abandoned for years; sometimes parts of the streets will vanish as you walk, turning into something hard and rocky, seemingly still untouched by human intervention. Occasionally the leaves will turn bright colors and drop off of the trees, only to regrow anew again almost immediately. Perhaps most tellingly is the fact that your concept of the passage of time is no longer entirely halted - you're aware that time is certainly passing, though it's difficult to say in what direction. It's obvious now more than ever that time exists in a sort of fourth dimension, coming at the world from a different angle entirely to the more planar space that you're still not certain you're perceiving correctly; throughout all of this, the Team Galactic base remains sealed. Whatever it is you're going to do about this, you might want to formulate a plan of some sort this week. POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY [OOC: Welcome to week seventeen of Azume; feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend.] |

[She sees you there, Michael, good lord. Camilla looks somewhat amused, honestly.]
It's a move Eda's been able to use for quite some time; I'm surprised that it's something that seems to be teachable to many different creatures!
no subject
[Look at him mentally running through the movesets he remembers like a grabby little troll.]
Tradesies? You never used my Double Team TM, did you?
no subject
Sign her the fuck up.]
I haven't had the pleasure, no, not at all. Consider the trade accepted!
[Camilla sounds fucking ecstatic as she gives the disc over to Michael, eyes practically gleaming. Good lord, how compatible is this with some of her darlings?? She can't wait to find out.]
no subject
[He didn't come out here planning to do this, so let him dig his disc out of his bag.]
Here you go - works on almost everything I've tried it on. And I know Protect works on my Sinnoh Pokemon...
[He's just gonna start releasing everybody and applying Protect now. It works on all of them. Everyone is gonna be a troll now.]
no subject
double team/protect spamming our way out of judgement and chip damaging him
because honestly, it seems very legit
Either way, Camilla passes it right on over and gladly takes the Double Team TM and starts applying it to her team members. It's gonna be a hell of a time.]
Oh, this is going to be beautiful. Fighting dirty like this is simply perfect!
no subject
It's the only way to fight!
no subject
[Alright, let's see...Melady seems eager, at least, so she tries it out on her first.]
Dear, show us how it's done, hm? Double Team.
[And just like that, she seems quick to split into multiple selves--so quick that it actually takes Camilla aback.]
...Oh, that's beautiful. It'll certainly confuse and confound our dear opponents!

[Do do do, get this on Glameow, on Drifblim...]
Do they simply disappear when hit, then? I can imagine that would certainly make for one beautiful game of cat and mouse, with enough of those under their metaphorical belts.
no subject
Only thing is, some Pokemon can see right through them. Like Quaver - that's actually the reason I caught him. I wanted to know why. [Shrug] Didn't actually figure it out until I read through Lucas's Pokedex. Some bird Pokemon have that ability. Something about their keen eyesight.
no subject
[Hmm.]
I suppose if anyone uses a similar strategy, then Quaver would do quite well in shutting them down before they get nasty.

[she's pretty sure that hell scream could at least be a distraction, if nothing else]

[Outside-of-battle utility's pretty good, though.]

...Like if we went up against one of those gods that Cyrus controls.
[It's. Not quite a question, but there you go.]
