"Ha! I suppose I might count as a true robot myself, though the underlying concept of 'forced laborer' hardly applies," the machine replies in a bemused tone.
His people use robots as well, of course. The only real difference between the two is the fact that a 'human' is a machine that uses a quantum computer capable of simulating and even surpassing an organic brain as their main processor. They have a mind and a self, unlike the 'robots' who tend to rely on traditional computers with highly structured programming to direct their behavior.
A robot can not truly think outside its programming while a 'human' can.
"And I would hate to cause a diplomatic incident in my first few hours here. Thank you for the advice."
The machine gives a polite dip of his head and begins moving into the crowd. Considering his reasonable size and his mirror-sheened body the machine may turn a few heads by presence alone.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Axel reaches out his PokeBall, he has 4 PokeBalls, which he uses his first. He says "Go! Lvl.41 Metapod!" After a long, hard battle, the Nine-tails faint from attacking the Metapod. Axel gets his PokeBall, throws it at the Nine tails, then...........*bink* Axel catched the Lvl.48 NineTails. He then screams Finally! A NINE Tails for my set! Woo!
He hurries to the PokeCenter, saving the Nine-tails life from dying.Hello there, fine sir~! I am Yumori.

Sir Sketch immediately switches back to his bright smile.
"Any way! Sir Sketch made for serve!"
"It'd be appreciated. The medicine for it is painful, and growing rather expensive," Garrett's looking past the man as he talks, at all the people getting things like minor scars fixed or entire reconstructions of undamaged areas. It disturbs him a little, that people would want to replace an entirely good body, or get rid of a harmless scar. Scars told stories, taught lessons.

Vesa may note her friend's entrance, the wolf-suited girl slipping quietly into the tech bay, and looking around, giving GLORY a glare behind her helmet (which draws the metal 'lips' back from its fangs when she does) as she spots the Revenant-hating AI.
"I hope he hasn't been giving you too much trouble?", she asks, speaking, as always, on a heavily-encrytep private band.Last edited by Lady Serpentine; 2013-10-29 at 01:52 AM.

"Much appreciated. I wouldn't ask, except I'm interested to see how you do things compared to my own techniques. Flow of information and all that. Also, we may be able to come to a deal. I have some rather interesting bits and pieces lying around that you'd probably like. But first things first - shall we start the tour now, or do you need to make a few arrangements?"

The Staruy is bitten by the Seviper but neither it goes down in one hit and it responds by rapidly spinning around to free itself from it's fangs and force the Seviper into the hard concrete ground. Meanwhile 'I' is panicking. "Warden, help Illumi out!" She screeches, causing the other water pokemon which were binding her wound to turn to help.
Jynx remains paralyzed this round.

"Uh yeah, friendship is really great. I do it every day to... keep it fresh." Vallery glances at the computer behind Nurse Armstrong. "By the way, does your computer there tell you anything more about Arden Dawn? I just started bonding with her and I don't have a pokedex..." Ardent Heart.
Outside the Rubble Zone
"No it isn't." Hekta insists. That was just too stupid. "It's valuable. We can't just leave it!" She knew Elias was weird but she didn't expect him to be dumb as well.
The demon walks around the body as Elias is retrieving the card, her eyes set on the crescent moon laying at the woman's feet. It was shiny which meant it was valuable.

Miyuu chuckles and gives a slight smile. She knew it was her turn to pay, but also understood that it made Mariya feel better to do so. Pride was such a silly thing, but it was one of the reasons Miyuu loved being around the soldier. "Okay. I'll get it next time." She swears, knowing that it's possible that she's not going ot get a chance to pay that time either.Last edited by UncleWolf; 2013-10-29 at 10:11 AM.

"Only the basic information recorded by the pokeball, fair trainer," Nurse Armstrong replies. "She is a ponyta beginning her journey to greatness, just as her beautiful companion is!"
He sure is nice!
And he's also resisting flexing too much. Wouldn't want to explode another shirt after replacing the last one. He might have quite the stockpile of them back there, but his supplies are still limited.
"As loath as I am to part your radiant company," Nurse Armstrong continues, draping his massive forearm across his face dramatically. "There are other injured pokemon I must attend."
With that he moves to address another trainer who just arrived.
When Vallery leaves she will likely hear a bellow of 'FOR GENERATIONS!' accompanied by the distinctive sound of a shirt exploding.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

The Seviper is dislodged by the spinning and looks slightly dazed. Not quite dazed enough to prevent it from whacking at the Buizel with its Poison Tail.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: [Nexus] Inside 55

Warden the Buizel just barely manages to dodge the poison tail by stepping backwards and responds by lunging at the Seviper, using a water jet to propel itself forward at an amazing speed.
The staryu on the other hand appears to have been poisoned by the opposing pokemon and is now retreating backwards. Jynx is once again paralyzed.
Pokemon Center
Wow, those words causes Vallery to turn bright red and just mumble some incomprehensible in response and she like a zombie stares at at Nurse Armstrong. It takes a sudden phone call to return her to reality.
*RING! RING!*
"Who- whoa!" She stuffs her hands in both her pockets, trying to remember which one she put the wallet in and which one she put the cellphone in, putting the poke ball with Argent Heart in it on the counter for now.
*RING!*
She finally gets a hold on the phone and answer, just managing to see it's her boss. "Va- I mean 'Y' talking?"
"Oh, uh well I was chased away by this pokemon and I thought they would come to the pokémon center as well to regroup." She grabs the pokeball and heads out of the center.
"Sure, I'll meet them up there." Time to join the other scene! She puts off the phone and is about to put back the Ardent Heart pokeball in her belt when something hits her. How was a pokémon named if no one owned it? She wouldn't have been able to catch it otherwise right?
So how exactly did a wild ponyta have a preexisting name? Weird. Maybe she should take a look at it, she never did get a good glimpse of it behind all that tall grass. That in mind she releases Ardent Heart to see what's so special about this pokemon. Perhaps it was shiny or something?

The Seviper is hit! And responds by trying to Crunch the Buizel with its teeth. Not the poisonous ones, though. It's paying no attention to the pokemon that aren't fighting; it wants to kill the trainers, and if the pokemon are standing aside, then they aren't a threat and maybe they'll help after their balls are destroyed.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 55
[Pokemon Center]
And there's the ponyta! She's the right size. The right color. A nice fiery colored mane with tongues of flame licking through it. Nothing at all out of the ordinary about her. Nothing to suggest why a wild pokemon would have a name upon being caught.
Maybe she used to belong to someone else and they released her?
The tiny horse pokemon blinks heavily as though she had just awoken from a deep slumber and lifts one of her forelegs in a fashion that would suggest she was trying to rub her head with it.
This is, of course, anatomically impossible for a ponyta and she face-plants on the floor with a surprised cry of "Ta!"
~~~~~
Ardent Heart feels...
Well...
It's hard to describe, really. All at once it was as though the dream is peeled away and she's left very much alive and aware of the world around her. At first she's certain everything had been a horrible nightmare since all of her injuries are gone. She's doesn't even feel tired anymore! But her elation is cut short when she realizes that she's still surrounded by those spidery-clawed monsters.
Those... those humans.
She can still feel the magic of anger twisting around inside her, begging to be released. Some part of her is alarmed at this, she knows what dark emotions can do to someone's magic, but a larger part clings to the extra power. She needs her anger. This place is to dangerous to be without it.
One of the humans is watching her expectantly and holding one of those... those evil talismans in her hand. But Ardent Heart can't seem to bring herself to be frightened of it anymore. Or to wrench it away. Or to flee like she should. The thoughts bubble to the surface of her mind like a pot boiling over, but the pressure in her mind prevents her from acting on them.
Something is horribly wrong...
She reaches up with a hoof to touch her numb horn and collapses on her face. "Ta!"
Aaand now she's laying in an ungainly heap on the floor. Why... Why won't her body move right? Why can't she... "Ponyta?"
Speak. Oh no. Oh no oh no oh dear no!Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Inside 55

To most not paying much attention, Arty's hoofbeats are muffled and not too noticeable. But to himself and anyone well aware of his presence, they're as loud as any horse's, and should be sufficient to keep the figure's presence unnoticed. The boy is paying far too much attention to where he's supposed to be going to look behind him.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Huh, she could have sworn it looked different before but she must have been imagining things. "Ha! Great! Come on now, let's rejoin the rest of the team. They're going to be so jealous." She orders the ponyta, gesturing for it to follow her as she will join the others in her group.
Near Pokemon Park
Warden is caught in Sevipers fangs, "Bui!" It shouts out in pain. But now it's finally Princess turn to act, as the poison pokemon is crunching Warden she tries the hit the Seviper with a ice punch, hoping to finally knock it out, literary.
Meanwhile "I" is returning the Staruy to it's pokeball for some reason. "Come one, destroy it!" She seem to panicked to even shout real moves any more.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 55
[Streets at Night]
The last week has been a bad one for thugs and crooks out at night. Someone has been preying on them. So far no one has been killed, but 4 muggings, 3 pickpockets, 6 purse snatchers, and a serial stalker have all been violently aprehended and left behind for Remnant or anyone else to come and pick up. The few witnesses willing to talk say it was one man doing it all. He comes out of the shadows they say. His face obscured by darkness so no one is sure if he is 20 or 200. Humanoid for sure, but he moves to quickly for anyone to get a good description. Most people he has saved ran from the scene as the shadowy savior seemed as violent, if not more so then their attackers. One person being mugged described only the noise of someone coming in and attacking the muggers. By the time the man had gotten up from the ground all three of his assailants were unconcious on the ground. So far whoever has been doing this hasn't left a calling card or talked to anyone since he started.Check out My Writing

Ardent Heart rises to her hooves again and follows her trainer.
Her... trainer?
Where had that word come from? Has she been enslaved somehow? Transformed? Stories of the King of Castle Midnight nag at the edges of her thoughts and how the dark lord of that terrible place would twist others in both body and mind to subject them to his will.
But just as quickly those thoughts are pushed away. Her trainer cares for her. Her trainer loves her. She needs to submit and obey.
Submit and obey... just do as she's told... everything will be fine...Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Inside 55

"Thank Dido!" 'I' loudly exclaims when it looks like the Seviper has finally been knocked out. It only took the combined might of three pokemons.
She looks at the poison pokemon, that thing could have been out of her worst nightmares, it just wouldn't give up. Sweat beads have formed on her forehead and her hands are shaking slightly.
Both Princess and T are paralyzed, Warden was badly wounded and Illumi was poisoned, all thanks to one single pokemon.
She slumps down against the wall, completely exhausted, which is the condition Vallery and her new ponyta finds her in. "Holy crap, what happened?" The team member looks around in shock.
"That ****ing Seviper followed us somehow... it needs to be put down." "I" replies with a vague gesture at the fainted poison pokemon. None of the pokemons, or humans for that matter, seem to be in condition to do that though.
"Put... it down?" Vallery hesitates. "Shouldn't we just catch it? The boss said nothing about killing pokemons."
That statement seem to spark something in "I" however. "THAT'S NO FREAKING POKEMON! IT WAS GOING TO KILL US ALL!" She pauses, taking a few breaths as Vallery stares at her in shock. "Just order your fancy new ponyta to crush it's head with it's hooves. That's all you need to do." "I" states with a strange calm after her last outburst.
"Umm..." Vallery mumbles, still hesitating.
"Then I'll do it." 'I' looks at Ardent Heart. "Ponyta, crush the snake pokemons head with your hooves until you break it's skull." She says without any emotion as she gestures at the Seviper. "Your trainer orders you to do it, she isn't protesting after all."
If Ardent Heart looks at Vallery she isn't saying anything, caught in hesitation over what to do.

Arty turns, his hand adopting a soft glow for a moment (the color of which is probably green unless his god has a specific one). The knife is deflected by an invisible barrier protecting his flank.
