PTA: Heralds of a New Dawn (IC)

[IrnBruAddict]

Ennis flicked her cigarette at the crowd then stuck her middle finger up at the assembled crowd before stomping off. Think they are better than me? I'm not the bad guy who started this. No one bullies this girl. How would they act, bunch of..... *mumble* *grumble*

[BluesEclipse]

Aidan silently(he hopes, at least) makes his way in behind the others, directing Eleara just ahead of him.

Hunters

As the trio push through the brush, Vlad trips on a root faceplanting into a small clearing. Claw is there, sniffing a pair of red fox-like pokemon with many tails Vlad can tell are Vulpix. They start and stare at Vlad cautiously, starting to back away as the others emerge.

Spoiler

clearing is about 10m in diameter, Vulpix and Claw on far end. They aren't hostile, yet.

Ennis and Donny, I'll get to you after Vulpix are done.

[Gaekub]

The doctor pulls his face from the ground. He sputters for a moment, spitting out grass, before he addresses the pokemon. "Ah, hello there... Vould you like to be friends?"

"These are Vulpix," he whispers back to his partners."Fire types. Ve vant them."

[BluesEclipse]

Nodding at the doctor, Aidan whispers back, "What do they eat?" before stepping out of the foliage, Elly at his heels. Crouching down, he smiles benignly at the Vulpix. "Hello there..." he says, calmly, while he pulls out his Pokedex and scans the fire-types.

[Gaekub]

"They're herbivores, so..." he waves his hand vaguely from the ground. "Plants."

[BluesEclipse]

Nodding, Aidan rummages around in his pack, pulling out one of the rations of Pokemon food he had picked up for Zex and Kiran. Offering the plant-based food to the two Vulpix, he says, "Here... got something for you two." He watches them calmly and says, "You know... you could come with us... my friends and I would take good care of you."

One of Vulpix sniffs the air cautiously, taking tentative step forward. PIX! Vul, Vulpix! The other cries, but the brave one doesn't heed its breathen's words and continues forward. With another sniff of the food, it begins eating with a smile. Vulpix!

Vladmir shrugs from the ground, and pulls himself back up on to his elbows. "Vell I just tripped over a root," he says. "I am clearly not threatening. Come vith me, see the vorld..." he trails off. "Light it on fire."

[MesiDoomstalker]

At the word 'fire' the other Vulpix perks up, an evil glint in its eyes. It lets out a plume of flame, shaking its many tails excitedly.

Same as Aidan, -40 to the roll.

Aidan smiles as the Vulpix begins eating the food, and pulls a Pokeball out, gently tapping the fire-type with it.

It really is amazing, Donny thinks to himself as he walks with Ennis. How observing another's anger can make your own look irrational as well. He was calm again, back into his quiet demeanor. Quietly he walked with Ennis until they reached the pokecenter. Inside, Donny hands over the ball containing Masque and pays the fee. While he waits, he mentions to Ennis, "Just so you know, it sounds like Groudon left years ago. I only got the whereabouts of his previous nest. I think we should take the Jagged Path. We're more likely to find anything from there."

[al'Lan Mandrag]

Tarna watched as the more experienced trainers caught the pair of sleek fire types. Maybe there is something to be said for playing nice.... She watched them interacting and felt a surge of jealousy.

"Right guys, we've got two more now, which makes three fire types, but we should probably capture some more, for er, redundancy."

She heads off again, Claw ranging ahead searching for tracks. Tarna kept close behind, trying to move as silently as possible.

'Okay, lets look there first then. We are more looking for hints on where he might have went than we are for what happened. If Rayquaza was in Unova, who knows where the other 2 could be.'

[BluesEclipse]

Aidan nods, and says, "Yeah, probably a good idea for each of us to have at least one fire-type available." He smiles before saying, "This was a lucky break, though. Anyway, lead the way!" He quickly falls into step behind the kunoichi, trying his best to emulate her stealth.

God Hunters

The duo leave town and head towards the Jagged Pass. Ennis remembers rather vividly claiming the pass to meet Magma at the volcano's summit. It was slow, brutal work. A quick glance the pass has gotten worse. It seems Groudon burst straight out of the mountain [I]through/I] the pass. A gaping hole in the pass middway up glows softly from the lava inside. What was once a zigzagging, rough path has become an incoherent, nearly untraversible rubble strewn mountain side. Despite this, the pass was still the safest way to hike up the mountain (besides the gondella).

Spoiler

Give me 3 Str checks, DC 14, if you want to try and climb it to the hole. 6 checks if you want to get all the way to the top.

Regular Hunters

The trio continues wandering the route, when Vlad hears some leaves rustling. Quickly, everyone hears and sees the leaves of the trees all around you alive in activity. And then nothing.

MAPZ!

Once Masque is fully healed Donny lets him out and makes the mental connection once again. Sorry about that. I didn't think it would go that way. Yeah. Me too. We're going up a mountain, I want you there with me. The Cubone nods silently and follows them out. (-10 HP to Donny)

The doctor stops abruptly, glancing around cautiously. "Vatch yourself. Prepare for a fight." The first part of his sentance is aimed at the other trainers, but the second is aimed at the dopey pokemon in front of him. The Drowzee becomes alert, or at least seems to wake up.

Those who fail at Climbing

With great difficulty, Donny made slow ardous progress up the mountain. More than once did he slip and scrape a knee or a gash in the thigh. He reaches the open crater, the heat incredible from the motlen rock below. Turning around, he notices Ennis is much further behind him, deciding it is probably better to wait than go on without her.

Ennis has much more difficulty than Donny. Nearly ever step forward seemed like two steps backwards. Numerous times she lost her footing, clattrering down the steep incline. The climb was torture, the last time she climbed the pass paled in comparison. Donny reached the midway point much faster, waiting for her upon getting that high. Eventually, Ennis reaches the top, numerous cuts still seeping blood and more than one bruise starting to show already.

Spoiler

14 damage to Donny, 30 to Ennis. Your at the half way point, I don't suggest trying to go further in your condition. But might as well investigate while your there.

The Hunted

All is still, except Claw's excited encouraging prep-talk to Elera. Then, five shapes burst out of the trees whooping and hollaring, firing at the party. Aidan and Tarna barely dodge the flames. Vlad, 47 and Elera are not so lucky. Vlad quickly recognizes them as Pansear and a Simisear and they look awfully angry.

The doctor winces under the blast of flame, but pulls a tube of jelly out of his bag and spreads it on the area. "Pansear and Simisear," he shouts as he spreads. "Fire monkeys, basically. Not happy ones either."

Donny patiently waits for the young woman to catch up to him. His months in the wild seemed to have paid off in his ability to make this trek. He wasn't winded, but the copious amounts of small injuries began taking their toll. Masque remains silent through their mental connection, a tension still between them. Once Ennis reaches Donny, he begins wandering about, seeking out anything that might be a connection to Groudon.

Aidan mutters a brief curse, whipping the bladed disc up and flinging it at the largest of the flaming primates, yanking it back after contact. As he catches it in his hand, he pulls his Pokedex up with the other hand and scans the same fire-type. As he does, he says, "Elly, get behind them and show them your power!" The Eevee yips in affirmation and darts at the line of smaller monkeys, leaping over them and landing smoothly just behind, before releasing a burst of swirling winds around herself with a cry.

'Gah!!! Lillycove was never this steep. I'd take swimming over climbing any day.' Ennis stops for a cigarette, not realising that was probably what was making her so out of breath. She takes out two fresh waters, gulps one down and tosses another to Donny. 'Can we take the gondola down? Please???'
