Week 6.

WEEK 6

One thing is going to be made abundantly clear this week: the routes you're traveling are cold.

Through Monday night, you'll likely find it best to skirt around the foot of that massive mountain that lies immediately to the east of Eterna City; it looks treacherous, and while some of you may be up to the trip, it's probably best to not waste your energy before you get anywhere near Lake Acuity. The journey is going to be a long one before you get there, but the first few days will see you making good time, actually. Between that and the noticeable changes to the world, maybe it won't be so bad...?

...Or not. Tuesday morning and beyond is where the hell sets in for those of you that aren't used to or don't like the cold. The routes are full of perpetual snowfall; it isn't heavy, given the time of year, but the fact of the matter is that it's still coming down, and the snow is piled up directly on the route clear up to the average person's waist. It makes traveling slow going, though if you have a fire-type it might be feasible to clear a bit more of a path - be careful with that, though, because all the runoff has to go somewhere, and it's possible that you'll just make the path icy in the end. Either way, it's cold, due to the snowfall you're going to be wet, and traveling is going to be very, very slow; here's hoping whatever's at that lake is worth it, in the end.

...Wherever the lake may actually happen to lie; no matter where you look on the way to Snowpoint City, you won't find an entrance to it...

CURRENT LOCATION: ROUTE 216/217
POKEMON AVAILABLE: MOUNTAINS/ELEVATED AREAS / SNOWY TERRAIN

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week six 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.]

Yes! Though for a Rock type, I don't think that Onix is particularly slow! It might well be that the ice attack has the ability to slow... it down- yes! Look there, ice crystals forming between the rocks of the Onix!

[ Neat!

... Miphanus also thinks it's neat, apparently, because it's inching closer than the rest of them, floating there, oops ]

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-16 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
So those ice crystals are...keeping it from turning the way it wants?

[That's honestly...wow, ow. Trying to move when you're frozen is kind of a pain in the ass.

Then he goggles slightly when he sees the Beldum at the edge of his vision.]
Uh...um...Miphanus? What're you...?
hyruglyphics: (tbh I think that)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-07-17 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Miphanus, what are you- don't allow your curiosity to overstate things!

[ "overstate" might not be the right word. Either way, she steps forward a little too, distracted by the Beldum, as the Onix is struggling to hit the Sneasel, even as it is slashing at them and trying to do some damage beyond the Icy Wind. That said, as she does get closer, with a roar, the Onix...

Finally seems to give up a little, lowering it's body and head. The Icy stings too much. ]

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-17 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah - you guys, watch out!

[They don't seem to be in any real danger, but Sena darts out from their watching spot anyway. A few moments later, his Pokemon follow after him.

That doesn't stop him from flinching in surprise as the Onix seems to give up, though...its head is coming a little too close for comfort...]
Heeeh...
hyruglyphics: (I mean mostly I)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-07-19 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm trying?!

[ But...

Miphanus has already called out a curious challenge! To the Sneasel! ... Which turns to face to Beldum with a blank looks before... drawing out its claws.

Errr. ]
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by me (sweats)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-19 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Um...

[Sena gulps nervously.]

Did...something just start...?
hyruglyphics: (Frogs!!)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-07-20 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . Um. ]

Miphanus, why are- ... oh, honestly! You're normally more mild mannered!

[ she decides as she rushes into position in time to have the Sneasel blankly come up to try and scratch at the eyeball. ... Which won't do much to its steel hide. ]

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-20 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe the battle got him excited...

[Monta cheers. Clearly, the monkey also agrees with this decision.]
hyruglyphics: (when she can)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-07-21 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Even so!

[ . . . At least the Sneasel is waiting for them to attack first. Oh well. The Beldum nods and as Zelda calls out, ]

Well then, go in for that tackle!

[ It will do so! Take Down into the Sneasel it is?! Let's!! Go!! ]
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by <user name=dulciloquy =livejournal.com> (determination)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-21 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it'll be good practice...

[Oh wait, she's already gone in for the attack. Awesome. He pumps his fists nervously.]

Good luck you guys! Don't let up!
hyruglyphics: (for the icons!)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-07-21 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ It connects! And the Sneasel is pushed back, clearly a little bit the worse for wear until it ... well, vanishes and then teleports behind Beldum! to strike it with a Faint Attack!! ]
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by me (this isn't good)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-21 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah?!

[That speed...Sena knows well what kind of danger that poses.]

W-watch out! [Of course, it'd be too late to get that kind of warning out, but still.]
hyruglyphics: (Thank you other people)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-07-22 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah way too late, Miphanus is hit! Fortunately in gen4 land Steel resists Dark so it's only neutral damage but ow that hurts, ow? Ow. The Beldum whirls and...

Then is covered in light. In a bright flash, one moment it is a Beldum before in the next moment it makes a new sound and is in a moment much, much larger. You could even say a little over double the size, with what was once its body now more like arms. The now Metang sort of seems awed at itself, and Zelda is too, hurriedly taking out the Sheikah slate to get some photos of it because, ]


Oh wow! Wow, that's evolution, isn't it?!
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by <user name=divisionsix =livejournal.com> (HIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-23 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Th...that's?!

An evolution?? Mid - battle? Can that even happen?]


They've got...arms?!

[...Yes. They have arms. Is that seriously what you're focusing on right now?]
hyruglyphics: (for me!!)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-07-25 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Probably not! Can it?! ...

...

I mean, it can if the Sneasel flees, which it is. It decides it didn't care enough for this, disappearing into the trees as both Zelda and Miphanus look at its new arms excitedly. ]


Oh and they're do much bigger!
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by <user name=divisionsix =livejournal.com> (but look at this cute bb)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-26 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
They are! So cool!

[He blinks, then realizes.]

Hey, maybe now that they're bigger and stronger, they can use more moves other than just tackling now?

[Like punching! A-a-and tackling, but with extra metal! And scratching!]
hyruglyphics: (I mean mostly I)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-07-26 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ Miphanus thinks for a moment ...and...

Waves an arm! And in so doing lifts up... a bit of a tree branch that the earlier fight had knocked up! It floats it up as with telekinesis. Using Confusion, it then psychically begins to implode or compress a little!

It glows blue as it does. And Zelda claps. ]


Oh wow!
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by <user name=kufufutofu =livejournal.com> (sorry!)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-26 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Tiny squeak. He didn't expect that.]

Th-that's...tele...teleki...that stuff where you move things with your mind! Right?
hyruglyphics: (keywords here?)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-07-26 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yes... yes, I believe it is! Oh, that must be the second type that Miphanus has, a psychic one! I wonder if that means that they float using psychic abilities?!

[ Heeee. ]
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by <user name=kufufutofu =livejournal.com> (a little gentle smile)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-26 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Th...that would make sense! I wondered how they were floating before...

[He grins at Monta, who looks equally excited by the evolution.]

We're all getting stronger...there's a lot of evolutions happening this week, isn't there?
hyruglyphics: (I typoed idea as icon)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-07-26 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
That certainly does seem to be the case!

[ but the "all" honestly is beside the point because right now it is locking "hands" with Miphanus here?! She bounces a little and it tries as gently as possible to not lock its claws on her painfully. Still, it's a joyful moment. ]
