Pokémon Legends: Liberation (Open)

[uchiha-sasuke51]

kai landed rite infront of kenta, who was bleeding from the mouth and unconcious. seeing what the outcome of this fight would be, kai thought fast. he telepathically told gyra to retreat and used his last energys to teleport himself and kenta away, recalling the dock they had been at before this terrable adventure. once they landed, kai used heal pulse, hoping desperaitly to keep his friend alive.
--
gyra meanwhile, was dealing with her own problems. she wanted to leave with them, so her instincts sent her forward, trying to simply plow through to the exit
(trying to wrap this up. im tired XD)  

[Avalite]

((Okees.))

Gyarados never dodged the Sucker Punch, which smashed it down into the stairwell. Then, Liepard and Aneta made their retreat.

When Gyarados got back he'd find himself alone.

Apparently security had backed off to call in reinforcements.

Gorm, meanwhile, had gotten away. Now at a different point, hidden on the island. The lighthouse was burning down now, and sirens could be heard from the coastal fire fighters with their water types.

"Are you okay?" Gorm asked.

"Victi..."  

[uchiha-sasuke51]

((my plan so backfired btw lol. pritty much forced victini to trust gorm x.x guess thats exactly what a kid of kentas age would have done though))
gyra, shaking the attack off, quickly headed to the water. before leaving, she used water pulse to put out the fires she made, knowing she had caused more trouble than she intended, then quickly swiming away
---
kai, meanwhile, carryed me to the nearest hospital, a pokemon center close to the docks. when he gave kenta to the nurse, there was a sense of irony, but she was to concerned to realy notice. she quickly took the broken child to the back, her audino following. she was a pokemon nurse, not a human nurse, but she was going to do all she could before sending the child to a real hospital

((He might also end up a fugitive considering how he went about things. <.<))

[uchiha-sasuke51]

o well, im off. g'nite))  

[Avalite]

((Anyone else wanna take on Gorm? 3: ))  

[Marsuru]

((I could kick Gorm's a**. Buuuut he'd probably turn around and kill me.

Every time I think I'm making progress, another several pages spawn from nothingness. I'd think people were doing it on purpose, but without checking I can safely assume Avalite's doing most of the posting.

And she keeps telling me to catch up.

I mean... that wouldn't make sense, would it? Unless it was some kind of cruelty, like playing keepaway with a child's possession. Stupid child.

Oh yeah, Jump, if you wanna just bypass the Wayne interaction so you can do your thing (assuming you haven't done so already) then you have my blessing. If you've already done that... how could you?! D:

Henrietta reminds me of this girl from my media and biology classes at college aptly nicknamed 'B.O. Girl'. Cause she smelled, and also didn't talk much.))  

[Marsuru]

((Okay, done. Attacking someone out of nowhere is exactly what I did when I first joined this RP (years ago) though the guy probably deserved it.))

Traversing the streets of Castelia took some time. Asking for a map at the travel agent's place would've been a little complicated and as it stood, screw maps. Not like they make any sense anyway, stupid pictures. Zack found the tailor's shop anyway, it just took him a few more hours than it could have done.

He was just getting measured up when his Xtransceiver started to vibrate. Elizabeth was calling, and from the look on her face when Zack put the call through, it seemed a little urgent.

"What?"
"Zack, you're not gonna believe this, but I'm at the pier with Katelyn and we just saw a Gyarados attacking Liberty Garden."
"What do you want me to do, snap my fingers at it?"
"Ha ha. It looks like the security team managed to take care of it." Elizabeth said, "It was a little scary for a while. Between this and Pinwheel Forest...?"

She seemed uneasy. It took a lot error but Zack had managed to learn her little nuances over time. Understanding what his wife was getting at seemed intuitive.

"You want us to get out of Unova for a while."
"Until we know it's safe, yeah."

The tailor skirted around behind Zack and made him lift up his arm for measuring. All Elizabeth would be able to see was the top of a wrinkly bald head bobbing in and out of her Xtransceiver view.

"...what are you doing?"
"I'm getting a suit tailored. Apparently they can be done pretty quick if you say you're ex-government."
"Don't tell me you're headed to that Plasma event. Katelyn and I picked up a collection of fliers just by walking down the road."
"It interests me. When I'm done, I'll help you pack for leaving the country. Cinder Town should be safe."

"You're not coming?"
The tailor started measuring Zack's chest span. To an onlooker it might've seemed like he was giving him a loving hug. "...I doubt it."
"Your dad seems to think you're going to get yourself killed. Zack, we should just grab Wayne and go. I don't want to see anyone else die."
"Me neither." Except for the list he'd accumulated over the years. "I'll keep him safe."
"Just don't forget to keep yourself safe too."

Zack wasn't sure he knew how to keep himself safe. He knew how to avoid getting killed, and the two were similar enough that he'd remained in one piece so far. He smiled.

"Don't want you shouting at me, do I?"

---

Fight smart? The heck was that supposed to mean? Solosis could use levitate and make getting a punch in really easy. That was pretty smart, right?

Wayne thought it through, but while he was doing that his body launched itself at Jump, punching and kicking and making kung-fu noises and poses.

If TV taught him anything, it was that the strongest guys yelled the loudest. Also, the good triumphs over evil, the guy gets the girl and that shouldn't laugh until the laugh track told him to.

He'd keep it up until he landed a punch.  

[Jump Einatz]

Jump started to bob and weave backwards, shifting away from Wayne's assault with his hands in his pockets. "Instinct. That's-an-improvement," he told Wayne between each dodge. "But-fighting-in-real-life-isn't-like-on-"

There was one punch that was actually about to hit Jump in the face. He grinned as he took one hand out of his pocket, catching the fist in his palm before it got too close. "TV. Almost got me there. Nice."

He let go and wagged his finger back and forth at Wayne. "Remember that fighting works the same no matter what way you do it, pokemon battle or melee. You gotta have a goal. And you gotta have heart. Don't let me catch you fighting like that again."

Before he could keep speaking, Jump's xtransceiver rang. He looked at the caller and frowned. "Looks like duty calls. Sorry Wayne, can't stick around. But I'll be in the neighborhood if you need me. I'll probably see you later."

He tapped his xtransceiver as it still rang. "Don't hesitate to call if you need some help. Or if you need to blow something up. I'm not your old man, but I'm getting pretty good at blowing stuff up."

Jump flashed him one final peace sign before running off, disappearing and leaving behind a cloud of dust.  

[Jump Einatz]

((Being a fugitive isn't so bad. Half of the cast in the last RP were fugitives at one point or another. It's practically a club now))

"Stupid Iris," Salieri mumbled to herself, pacing back and forth in the pokemon center's lobby. "Stupid Iris with stupid hair. Stupid."

Her battle with the second gym leader of Opelucid City in the park had never reached a conclusion, because neither girl would admit that it had ended in a tie. So after racing back and forth down the hill to see who was faster (also inconclusive), the two girls bitterly parted ways. And so Salieri ended up in the pokemon center, waiting for Frillish to be healed.

Sal wasn't happy that she didn't get prize money, but having such a close match with Iris was even worse. Especially after Iris told her she couldn't understand her pokemon.

The Battle Girl’s nose twitched in frustration. She lost to Chari in the park, Salem wouldn’t talk to her, and Chen Zhen had jumped onto that bandwagon too. The Frillish she had lost so much sleep catching turned out to be insane, and she couldn’t even beat Iris in a pokemon battle. And to top it all off, now she was unprepared to battle Burgh. It wasn’t turning out to be the day she wanted.

“Excuse me, miss.”

Salieri craned her head, stopping to look back at the nurse. “Your Frillish is fully healed. Thank you for using the pokemon center! Have a nice day!”

Sal snatched the pokeball out of the nurse’s hands and walked away, still grumbling to herself.

She went out onto the wharf and released the pokemon. As the jellyfish floated in the air, Salieri tossed him the Scope Lens begrudingly. “Here. You earned it.”

The Frillish caught it and placed it on his eye. Part of his gelatinous body that surrounded his eye bubbled, readjusting the Scope Lens to fit just right. [I presume our contract is now terminated?]

Salieri folded her arms. “I told you that you can do whatever you want now. I’m letting you go. Honestly, I didn’t think that battling with a ghost would be as…well, it was an experience.”

[And I did not believe that allowing a swine to order me around would lead to such fun,] the Frillish admitted, although Salieri didn’t understand the ghost.

She reached out a hand for a handshake, and the Frillish accepted with his tentacle. Salieri tried to hide her disdain for the feeling (it was like putting your hand in icy cold jello), but she shook it nevertheless.

“It’s too bad we didn’t show that girl what was good,” she sighed.

There was a pause. Normally, both of them would have stopped the handshake. But they still clung on as they looked each other in the eye, letting a thoughtful silence sink in before either one spoke.

“…we could always give it another try-“
[I was just thinking the same thing-]
“Opelucid City isn’t that far-“
[I’m sure there will be fascinating literature to read on the way-]
“You and I don’t make a bad team-“
[Tomes shall be enscribed with our adventures!]

Salieri rose an eyebrow. “Let’s get this straight, I don’t like you that much-“
[You are a barbarian witch woman disguised as a girl-]
“But I’ll make an exception. If you come with me, it won’t be easy. But at the end, we’ll be living like royalty. On top of the world.”
[I do enjoy a nice crown to go with my tyranny.]
“So? Are you in Team Del Forrest, or are you not, Haizhe?”

The newly christened Frillish created a dark emoticon over his head with Night Shade: “ twisted ”

Salieri grinned, reminiscent of the emoticon, and recalled Haizhe. She looked down at the pokeball, feeling like the spontaneity of the decision was a good sign. “Well I didn’t see that coming…”

((EDIT: Added Haizhe's bio to Sal's profile, and updated Salem's to include her evolution))

((This is true. Also, my first act in the RP was to get into contact with Jump (By getting a wrong number I think, no less) and then going to battle him. Whereby I randomly came up with the idea that they were cousins. Thankfully, Jump rolled with it. XD I remember looking back on the original RP a while ago and boy.... We've improved A LOT since then. XD))  

[Marsuru]

((I miss Richy randomly bursting into song. He should hijack a concert at Nimbasa stadium))  

[Jump Einatz]

((I did something similar. Not the bursting into song thing, the having-my-character-do-random-interactions-in-the-beginning thing. Although Jump has also burst into song before.))

-Meanwhile, hiiiiigh up in Castelia's skies-

A blimp pass overhead Castelia at around 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Flyers fell from it all over the city, all advertising the same thing:

Tonight, in the Plasma Building at 8 o'clock, there would be a formal banquet open to the public. Anyone and everyone was invited, as long as they followed the rules. These included formal attire only, no pokemon battling in the Plasma building, and any others that would be announced at the door.

And on the side of the blimp would be a screen offering the same information. The blimp would fly around Castelia for about an hour before departing back to Mistralton Airways.  

[Marsuru]

((They're really pulling out all the stops to get people to go to this party thing. Makes you wonder who'll turn up.

Jacqueline in a dress. Oh god. It'd be like tying a bow on a tank.))
