Week 2.
WEEK 2. The new week begins with new surroundings. The city you've been growing accustomed to over the past week is now well behind you as you set out on your journey proper; the terrain still seems rocky and steep here as you move downhill and to the south, dotted here and there with small ponds to the east and rocky outcroppings that you can climb on to the west. There are also large expanses of tall grass here, and the entire route is flanked with tall trees leading off into the forest a short ways. You're more than welcome to explore; just don't stray too far from the group - you wouldn't want to be left behind out here, for any reason. Wild Pokémon are abundant here, as anyone venturing into the tall grass will discover; they aren't inclined to attack you, however, simply watching with dull, dead eyes as you stumble through the area they've come to call home. The trip is difficult, and it's a lot of walking, but it's not unmanageable; fortunately enough, the route you're on should lead you directly to Valor Lakefront, assuming there are no complications along the way. From Thursday and beyond, the route takes a sharp turn west; in front of you lies what's clearly the ocean, large rocks jutting out just offshore tempering the waves. It's safe to go in the water if you so choose - assuming you can swim, that is - and the forested terrain has given way to a large beach with patches of tall grass here and there. Interestingly, there's a house located on the beach; whether it's inhabited or not is difficult to tell. Of course, exploring slightly north of the beach will reveal a path. Maybe it leads somewhere important... POKEMON AVAILABLE: NEAR WATER SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week two 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. Don't forget that a write-up is due next weekend!] |

I was hoping that thing would drop your partner while it was distracted... [Shit, how do we get a plan B going here--to Arion's credit, he's not letting go, if mostly because this stupid Pokemon's starting to tick him right off, but. Buh.] Arion, let go--try to tackle that beast instead!
[It's a good thing he actually listens, because he is going to release the Lickitung--only to try and rush forward to tackle it down in anger. Maybe brute force try two will work??? Stay tuned]
no subject
[ Except not really, the eyes are as blank as anywhere else? Right now, it just desires food, all the food. It hungers. And with that said, the tackle does connect! But it's fat belly stands firm, with it standing there in its own head!!
... But that does loosen the grip of it's tongue enough for Miphanus to fly out, or start to ]
no subject
Dear, be careful over there! Don't wind up in the same position!
[she's about to use that training stick as a beatin' stick if that creature gets any ideas--]
no subject
... I mean, they are on a big rock! Hope they don't fall over the edge from the force of that tackle? That said, free of the tongue mostly, Miphanus will be floating back towards Zelda and Camilla, saliva all over it. The Lickitung, meanwhile-
Yeah, it's forced back. If not Arion too, it alone shall be shoved from this rock ]
no subject
He follows the sound of Camilla tapping the stick on the ground to get back by her side, and Camilla smiles at Zelda and Miphanus.]
Well, that takes care of that dreadful thing. Do you need anything to clean your partner with, darling?
[because who cares about the lickitung, clearly!!]
no subject
Probably, but I should check on that other one...
[ So...
Sorry, she's going to go move to the other side of the rock, where that Lickitung has been topped onto it's back/tail there, looking a little dazed for a moment. Like whoa man... she just wanted to eat... ]
no subject
[She'll keep her distance, Arion close at her heels, and watch out to see if it'll attack again.]
no subject
Mmm.
It's starting to stand again? Wow. she takes a step back, and this big thing sort of makes eye contact with everyone. ]
no subject
Okay, no, anyway, she's gonna keep some distance herself but that thing is doing her a concern now that it's standing up and making eye contact. What...is it going to do...
Camilla's ready and waiting if Zelda needs help, but maybe this won't go south...? She's. Being cautious.]
no subject
And then Zelda somewhat hesitantly pulls a Pokeball from her bag... and tosses it at the Lickitung.
It is pulled inside, and the thing starts to rock on the ground. ]
no subject
...Oh, Camilla sees that and seems to 'hmm' a bit in contemplation. So she intends to catch it...well, perhaps training such a creature would do it some good. Camilla...can't really see it herself, but.
Gods, please let it stay in.]
no subject
Rock...
Rock... Click! ]
... Oh! Does that mean it is captured!
no subject
That it does! Congratulations on your new partner, dear. Hopefully they'll be a little more amendable to you as a partner...
no subject
[ she says it all excitedly. Sure, the thing seemed a little unruly, but she reaches down to pick up the ball, pulling it up to her chest and taking it tighter to herself. ]
no subject
[Like. That's almost Faceless levels of painlessness. Or maybe just something sciencey? Camilla's not sure, but it'll be useful, probably.]
no subject
[ Given their situation, that is? She glances down at the ball with a smile, holding it gently in her hands.
It's weird how light it is. ]
... A lack of capacity to feel pain... huh.
no subject
They'll certainly be a strong ally...but be sure to be firm with them, won't you? Just in case they turn out to be an unruly sort.
[...Hmm.]
Does it concern you? That it may not feel pain.
no subject
[ Or maybe it's a mammal? It's hard to tell, and it's pink. She thoughtfully looks at the ball from a few angles as she considers this. ]
... Or no, it would be strange, but it would not be concerning would perhaps be the better way to think of it.
no subject
I understand. That concern for them will ensure that you raise them well, I think; they'll be able to know that you're keeping an eye on them, so they don't push too far.
As long as you look out for them...I don't think you have too much to worry for. They'll be able to rely on you, now.
