Roll Thread: Odd

[Requiem of Whyspers]

Odd was sitting on the couch in the main lobby, attempting to watch tv through the little bundle of feathers repeatedly flying into his face. "Fermata, what do you want?! Why are you so hyper lately?" He asked the little owlet before standing up and grabbing hold of him, snuggling the little creature close to his chest. Fermata's response was to fire of a Leafage attack, throwing a wingful of dart-like leaves at nothing. They ended up flipping upwards and fluttering to the ground after a moment but Odd got the idea.

"Ah. You're finally ready to really start training to battle, huh?" He asked.

"Roooow!" Fermata cheered, fluffing up his feathers and making himself look a bit bigger. Though it really only served to make him look like Odd was attempting to hold onto a naked feather pillow.

"How about the two of you stop squabbling and get to work then?" GRAY piped up, Claydol suddenly appearing and whisking them both away in an instant.

"What the- Where the- Wait?" Odd stumbled around in the dark for a moment before he recalled his SNAG was in his pocket and took it out to illuminate the surrounding area with it's screen. "What's going on, GRAY? Where are we?"

"I'll give you credit for being one of the more productive layabouts around here but that doesn't get you off the hook for laziness." GRAY responded from the aforementioned SNAG. Consider this boot camp. Now get to work."

And with that, Odd's SNAG would lose functionality for practically all purposes.

"Wonderful." Odd stated as he began to look around. It took a moment before he finally saw the immense carven doorway not far off, though hidden well enough in the dark that he hadn't seen it until now. As he looked upon the door, it rose into the ceiling, belching out an ancient wind that smelled of dust and.....other things.

"Ew." Making a face at the smells that assaulted his olfactory senses, Odd pulled Fermata up close to his chest once more before deciding he may as well wander in and see what was going on. He didn't see any other way out, though so.....Let's see what happens.

[Requiem of Whyspers]

As Odd walked through the ancient hallways, still rather lost, he noticed that it was far less dark than it had been when he entered and was getting brighter as he went. Before too long, he actually found himself in a room. It looked like it sloped downward at a steady angle, though not so much as to making walking down it difficult. "Huh....I wonder what this place is?" He asked Fermata, the Rowlet cooing in agreement with the question, looking around at the sights around them.

The duo made it about halfway across the room before Fermata decided to hop out of Odd's arms and fluttered to the floor. Only to sink in. Followed by a very audible "click".

"And now's the part where we die because of Sub." Odd stated simply, wondering momentarily what would be the source of their untimely demise.

Had he simply started running like a madman, there might have been a good chance of getting out of this with minimal injuries. As it were, however, when the first of the Voltorb dropped from a hidden panel in the wall, his reaction was somewhat delayed. Which gave the explosive creature ample time to gain ground on him. In a mad attempt to get away, Odd scrambled toward Fermata, reaching out to scoop up the little owl. Except that he never made it that far. The Voltorb crawling up his backside crackled for a brief instant before exploding violently.

The force of the explosion jolted the channeler into the air and well over Fermata's head. The little owl wasn't spared from the explosion, though. He just didn't get launched as far which ended up being a bad thing. He landed on top of a trapdoor, which tripped open and released a second volatile orb. The second voltorb exploded with less warning than the first, sending poor Fermata flying without the use of his wings towards the farthest recesses of the room. Uphill. Fermata managed to right himself with a bit of furious flapping but it didn't do him much good when a trapdoor opened up in the ceiling and dropped another pair of Voltorb on his head. These two explosions went off just slightly apart, resulting in a wild spin as the tiny avian practically buzzed through the air across the room once more. He crashed right into Odd's chest as the horrified channeler watched, unable to even call out an order to try and help due to the sheer speed at which the chain of events unfolded.

The collision was enough to rocket the both of them straight through the door connecting to the next corridor.

[Requiem of Whyspers]

Slowly climbing to his feet, Odd managed to keep from falling over again as his gut clenched, the sudden impact from his little feathery charge causing the muscles in his abdomen to spasm momentarily. "Ugh....How is that training for anything?!" He finally asked, referring to GRAY's comment about this place being boot camp of source.  

[Requiem of Whyspers]

It wasn't long before Odd and Fermata ended up walking through the doorway at some point in their dark-ish corridor of this immense labyrinth, hidden behind a layer of rather fresh-smelling(by comparison to everything else down here) foliage. "There's a forest inside the mountain, too? How?!" Now he was confused. As if he hadn't been from the start of this whole time-space shenanigan he was certain Sub was somehow responsible for.

Out of the darkness of the trees, however, lurched something wicked and winged. Faster than the channeler could follow it, the little blur shot from one tree to another and before he knew it, he had lost the creature entirely. "I'm gonna be cannibalized by a Munchkin in an underground forest..... Just my luck." He groaned, holding tighter to Fermata as he slowly spun in place and attempted to spot the strange blur he could almost still sense somewhere around him. His channeling senses had been greatly dulled since coming in here and he had become so dependent on them by now that he felt blind without them. "Careful....." He said to himself as Fermata slowly wriggled free.

"Row!"

"Huh?!" Odd spun around at the voice, momentarily stunned when he found not a creature but a bundle of leaves flying towards his face. "OW!" He screamed in surprise, accidentally dropping Fermata as his hand raced up to his right shoulder. In the top of his arm, he found a leaf with a rather sharp vein sticking out of a bleeding puncture wound in his flesh. "What the-?"

"Rooow!" Fermata wailed as he was pelted with several dart-like leaves as well, immediately jumping back up and tossing his own Leafage to block further incoming leaves. This was going to get old in a hurry if he kept getting beaten up on in every room they entered.

"Over there!" Odd called out as he attempted to point toward his right with his currently wounded arm. "Ow!" He yelped and withdrew his arm immediately after it's first movement, the leaf still in his arm preventing painless movements.

"Rowrow!" Fermata nodded and darted forward, Pecking at the spot he saw the shadow in the trees. Only to be met with nothing at the moment. "Owl!" He cursed as the energy faded from his beak.

"Rororo." The small voice in the trees laughed menacingly at Odd and his little Rowlet as it circled them fast and silent, otherwise.

"Fermata, use Razor Leaf!" Odd called as he pulled the leaf dart in his shoulder out at last. Fermata nodded and flipped his wings open, razor-edged leaves flying out from the under layer of leafy feathers growing on their undersides. The leaves didn't hit their mark but they did cut away at the underbrush in the forest, leaving fewer places for their assailant to hide. Another barrage of darts flew out from the darkness a bit away from where Fermata had attacked, though, striking at the Rowlet with ease.

"Once more, Fermata. Spread them wider." Odd called out as he tried to keep an eye on the attacker's position. Fermata nodded and threw another wave of Razor Leaves, each spread further apart than before, into the forest around him. The result was to cut down the forest's underlying foliage in smaller but more frequent patches.

"Rororo!" This time, when the attack came, Odd saw it. The shadow was easier to track with less forest in the way.

"Fermata, over there!" The human called to his Pokemon, pointing to a patch of trees with his left hand. Fermata nodded and, rather than using Leafage or Razor Leaf, he flew over as fast as his still-inexperienced wings could manage and attempted to Pluck his attacker from their safety net of darkness.

The burst of wind and Flying energy from his beak blew the leaves of the trees apart enough to see what he was aiming at and he was quick to deliver the attack proper to his enemy. "Leeeeeet......." The groan was accompanied by an unconscious Rowlet tumbling out of the trees and onto the moss-covered floor below.

"Finally....." Odd groaned, picking Fermata up and starting toward the exit of the room, which he had spotted once his partner had increased the visibility in here a bit. He didn't make it far, however. before he noticed that Rowlet had dropped a few things. One was a strange silver-colored token and the other was a Grass Gem.

Once outside the indoor forest, Odd looked Fermata over for any signs of serious injury and then bandaged up his own arm. It was lucky he had a roll of gauze on him, still. He'd recently purged his backpack of unnecessary items and had yet to fully refill it. As evidenced by the fact that all he had one him were the Leftovers Fermata was munching on at the moment, a solitary Revive he'd missed in the bottom and a Ghost Gem he'd been carrying around as a lucky charm for ages now. At least that meant he had room to toss in the coin and the Grass Gem he'd picked up a moment ago for later. Fermata might be able to use it if he had to, after all.

Once he was sufficiently patched up, he picked up Fermata and the two headed off down the musty corridors once again in search of some kind of exit.

As Odd entered the next room, he found it to be rather.....well...odd. The room was six sided. A Hexagon, if he remembered his geometry correctly, and the floor was made of tiles in the same shape. "Huh....That's not strange now, is it?" He asked Fermata, curiosity getting ahold of him as he did.

"Cooooom."

"That's gonna be a bad sign...." Odd deduced almost instantly. His assessment was proven correct within moments, as the floor tiles suddenly sprang to life and began to fly away, revealing, in places, a pit practically overflowing with the Pokemons' stored Sweet Honey. "I hate sticky....." The channeler lamented as he grabbed Fermata tighter, despite the owl's best attempts to get free and bolted across the "floor" in an attempt to reach the door he could make out on the other side of the room.

Unfortunately for Odd, due to the combination of Fermata's wiggling and the continually moving floor tile Combee, he missed a very important step and went crashing down into the pit bellow like a Geodude that missed out on arm day a little too often.

Thankfully for Odd, Fermata definitely seemed to have been extra dedicated to wing day while he was focused on training his other Pokemon. The tiny little owlet struggled like hell for a few moments but, if only just barely, managed to carry Odd over the pit full of honey and set him on the other side of the room. However, before Odd could stop him, he flew back across the room once more and proceeded to Peck a few of the Combee into submission. Most of them left him be but a few(those resilient enough to not be knocked out by a simple Peck, at least), banded together to send a single, large scale Swift after him. Which was enough to send him scrambling back to Odd's side and the safety of the Channeler's arms. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't left unscathed. Just before he reached Odd, he was pelted in a back by one of the star beams and rocketed into Odd's arms, tears welling up in his large eyes as he felt the pain setting in.

Odd couldn't stand to see his little Pokemon get hit again and held out his hand, summoning a Guardian Halo around them to block out the Normal-type attack before he headed out of the room. He did find it strange that one of those Swift stars hadn't dissipated on contact with his shield, though and when he released it, the star left behind a silvery coin, which fell into the channeler's open hand. About the time he got out the door, he paused, shifted his left foot a bit and then began to hop around as he attempted to remove his shoe rather hurriedly.

"Owowowow!" As he finally removed it, a small silvery coin rolled out and landed on the floor. "How long has that been in there?" He asked himself as he returned his shoe to it's proper place and laced it back up. Scooping up the coin, he added it to his backpack along with the other one he had acquired, taking notice as he did that the Ghost Gem he had been carrying was now dull and lacking it's once lustrous shine. What had used it up?!

As Odd walked into the next room, leaving the empty corridor behind him, he was a bit surprised to find a small avian hopping around in the room with a satchel in it's hands(?). Or was that a satchel? It looked to be attached to it's rear end. "OH! It's a Delibird!" He finally recognized it as it stopped it's playful hopping and looked directly at him. "Brace yourself, Fermata."

It walked up to him and rummaged around in it's tail for a moment, pulling out a volatile red orb that was glowing softly. Odd took it and simply sighed as he accepted his fate. He knew the chances of this happening before he ever let the Pokemon near him By the time Delibird had begun to walk away, the orb had already exploded in Odd's face, consuming both him and Fermata in the hellstorm of detritus it kicked up.

Once it was over, the pair coughed, hacking up a bit of dust before simply moving on with Odd failing to notice the silver coin suddenly splitting off from one of the others in his backpack. Wait a second...These things could multiply through mitosis?

A Wild Totem Dartrix Appears!

As Odd and Fermata stumbled through the corridors, beaten and battered already, both thoroughly exhausted by this point, they happened across a set of stairs. "Down?! Shouldn't these things be going up to get us out of here? We must be a hundred miles below HQ....." Odd thought aloud. His train of thought was interrupted, however, when a Dartrix suddenly appeared, though he wasn't familiar with it's species. What he was familiar with was the strange aura of power that radiated off of it. "A Totem Pokemon? Here?!" How was that even possible?! Could the raising of Totem Pokemon be some ancient knowledge lost outside of the region of Alola? This place certainly seemed old enough to house such creatures as Totem Pokemon despite Alola only recently opening it's boarders to the outside world.

"Fermata, get ready!" He warned his partner, the little owlet looking at the Dartrix with awe in it's massive avian eyes. Despite never having encountered it's own species prior to today, the little Grass-type somehow knew that he would look like that someday. And that meant that, just maybe, if he was really lucky, he might be as strong as this one someday. In the meantime, however, he had to figure out how to beat it. At least he had Odd's help here.

"It's coming!" Odd warned, tossing Fermata into the air to avoid the first move, hopefully. No such luck. With a skillfully aimed Razor Leaf, Dartrix knocked Fermata for a loop. "Leafage!" Odd called out as he jumped back a bit for his own safety. Fermata nodded and tossed a few of his dart-like leaves at Dartrix. The evolved Pokemon easily brushed them aside with a powerful Energy Ball launched through the middle of them, brushing the dart-leaves aside.

"Dodge it, then get in close with Peck!" Odd called out. Fermata nodded and swept through the air to narrowly evade the attack, diving in with his beak shining with Flying energy. Dartrix countered the attack with a well-placed Sucker Punch, it's wing-fist aglow with wicked Darkness as it met Fermata's face. The tiny owlet went sprawling through the air, violently flipping about, only for Odd to catch him and help him get back into the battle. "Good job dodging but that wasn't fair." He told the little Grass-type, referring to the Sucker Punch.

"Why don't you try a Pluck? I know it doesn't have a berry but it should do a good job stopping it." He suggested. tossing Fermata back into the air, where the small avian caught the air with his minuscule wings. "Try not to let it hit you again and get in there close."

Fermata nodded and followed through with Od's instructions. He ducked to the side to dodge a Razor Leaf. Then rose higher in perfect time to evade a follow up Leaf Blade. And as he got in closer, he found his chance, thrusting his beak in and stabbing at the Dartrix with wild abandon.

And while he successfully dealt a heavy blow to the Dartrix, somehow managing to swipe a Pamtre berry off the other Pokemon, which he promptly discarded. Nasty thing, it was. He was also in prime position to be struck by the other avian's retaliatory Brave Bird.

"Um....." Odd was worried for Fermata, sure, but Dartrix collapsed to the ground after it hit, it's fiery red aura fading, eyes seemingly swirling as it lay, unconscious on the ground. "That seems unnecessary but ok...." He said as he walked over to check on his partner.

Damage calculations here. Kindly ignore the dice roll post. Thank you. Goodbye. Nothing to see here. Scram, already!  

[Requiem of Whyspers]

Leaving the fainted Artrix behind, Odd began to walk towards the staircase up ahead. Hopefully it would lead him out of this place, whatever it was. Unfortunately, they went down so he doubted he could be so lucky now. Maybe he'd find another staircase on the lower floor that would lead him back up and out?  

[Requiem of Whyspers]

As Odd and Fermata entered the first room on the second floor of this crazy maze, they found themselves suddenly plunged into darkness. "What the heck?! I can't even see my hand in front of my own face." Odd stated, waving said hand around in the darkness just to make sure he wasn't exaggerating. No such truth could be found, however, as his motions were completely undetectable to his eyes.

Then came a tiny flicker. A small light that glittered for a moment before vanishing. A moment later, it appeared again in a new location. A small pair of twinkling lights that bobbed and weaved through the darkness, mesmerizing him for a moment.

"Hold the phone. That's not normal." He finally said to himself, only just now realizing what this might mean. "Fermata don't loo-!" Too late. Fermata, just as mesmerized as Odd had been a moment before, got a face full of Confuse Ray as Sableye leaped out of the darkness, eyes flashing wildly.

In shock and confusion, Fermata fired off a Leafage, not really intending on hitting anything. Luckily for him, he managed to hit Sableye square in the face and sent it scurrying back into the darkness.

Sableye didn't take kindly to the darts to it's face and retaliated with a blast of stone-like energy from it's eyes, a pair of hexagonal beams launching from the darkness to strike at Fermata as he took to the air, the Power Gem knocking the avian for a loop. Luckily for Fermata, he'd been paying close attention during the battle with that Dartrix before and had picked up a new trick from it. Despite his spinning head, he conjured up an orb of photoluminescent energy and fired it off at the origin of those beams. Sableyes yelped from the darkness, the exploding Energy Ball illuminating the area around it well enough to see it laying prone on the floor.

"Wow....When did you learn that?" Odd asked, not even realizing the Pokemon had learned such a move.

"Row row rooooow." Fermata replied, giving the best smile one with a beak could manage. Not that Odd had a clue what he was saying yet. And likely wouldn't until he was fully evolved, though Odd didn't know that yet.

Sadly, neither bothered to notice that Sableye was both getting up and glowing with a silvery light. "Sable eye!" The Ghost-type exclaimed as it rushed up to Fermata and used Metal Burst, returning the damage it had just taken in double the force.

Fermata, though surprised, was quick enough to react that he was able to evade most of the damage. The silvery wave of energy that slammed into him didn't send him flying as it had intended. but instead, sent him spiraling upwards and over the Sabeleye's head. "Row rooowlet!" He shouted, firing off another Energy Ball. This one met Sableye between it's crystalline eyes and, when it exploded, sent the ghost out cold at last.
