Week 11.

WEEK 11

The meeting with Mars could have gone infinitely worse. It's difficult to say that it went well, admittedly, but at least it didn't go as poorly as it could have; either way, her departure leaves you free to look around the Valley Windworks, and it shouldn't take you long at all to find something interesting on the floor.

It's bright yellow and glowing, set into the ground like any other normal part of the floor otherwise; stepping on it will cause the world to spin briefly in your field of vision, and when it straightens itself out again, you find yourself standing in the corner of the lobby of a large building you've never seen before.

Welcome to the Jubilife TV station.

The place seems staffed with Galactic grunts, but they leave you alone outside of just watching you in that dead-eyed, vaguely unnerving way they have of watching everything; they'll let you leave without a fuss at any rate, and it's probably for the best that you get yourself situated for the time being. After all, you've got an entire new city to get accustomed to.

The people here seem to be trying to get themselves situated as well, though obviously that's for entirely different reasons. The world continues to change, around them and you both, and overall things do seem to be going in a direction that might be considered favorable. Noticeably, the grunts in the TV station don't seem to be changing at all, regardless of what happens to the other locals; that might be cause for some concern...

CURRENT LOCATION: JUBILIFE CITY
POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES

[OOC: Welcome to week eleven 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 this weekend!]

Out and About

[Well it's not like Kiryu has anything better to do right now. May as well help with this!]

Got anything in mind already? Is it to train a specific Pokemon or are we going all-out?

We can go all out, or just one on one if you prefer.

All out will work. I'm not used to holding back.

[Kiryu continues being as pleasant and polite as usual, but there's this increasing feeling of anticipation, like he has awaited this for a long time. He takes out his Pokeballs, looking at the handful with contemplative expression]

This is the time to see the result of our training. Whenever you're ready, Ari.
omissions: (off we go)

[personal profile] omissions 2018-08-19 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Okay... here we go!

[Ari decides to choose Marlene, his Glaceon, to step up first. What will you choose?]

[Not interested in having a Pokemon with a type advantage a friendly fight, he decides to go for a more neutral choice. Shoga should be good for this]

Do your best, Shoga!

[Out of the Pokeball comes the Nidorino, digging into the ground with its back legs already, getting himself ready for any impact. Looks like being the first to attack is not this Pokemon's style]
omissions: (moe moe?)

[personal profile] omissions 2018-08-21 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Okay... Marlene, use Icy Wind!

[The Pokemon opens it's mouth, breathing out a gust of ice to blow through the air and attempt to strike Shoga with!]

[Shoga doesn't make the slightest attempt to move. He grits his teeth, the cold wind enveloping him while Kiryu evaluates Marlene and decides the approach]

We're setting things up for the rest, Shogu. [Apparently Kiryu had discussed general strategies with his Pokemon, so Shogu simply nods at that] Toxic spikes! Endure for a while longer!

[Easier said than done. The spikes scatter over the terrain, so there's that at least]
omissions: (off we go)

[personal profile] omissions 2018-08-23 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Yikes. Probably should be careful about moving around here.]

Keep up with Icy Wind! Again!

[Marlene is going to keep breathing out that icy air, as if trying to freeze the Pokemon in it's tracks with it's very breath.]

[Constant ice is bad. Even though he's not weak to that, the ice forming around his legs isn't a good sign. Frozen status effect. Kiryu failed to consider the slim chance his Pokemon could be frozen -- the follow-up he had planned wasn't an option anymore]

Break free!

[He sure is going to try! Whether it'll be in time or not is yet to be seen, though]
omissions: (what does "okage" mean anyway)

[personal profile] omissions 2018-08-28 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Let's change it up a little... Marlene, use Quick Attack!

[Okay! Time for ice fox-thing to suddenly coming charging right at you in a quick tackle, since the opponent is frozen in that spot and can't avoid it.]
