Your Mega Form doesn't fit through most normal doors anyway. *both Hyperion and Icarus grin as they watch Zernebog follow Ricki before they follow behind him, gliding behind them like a pair of menacing dragon guards* 15 Dec 14, 03:20 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Looks over at Rep and thinks for a moment, raising her wrist slightly before after a moment, Rep reverts back to his normal form* . . . *Looks over at Zernebog* I'll cover dessert too, c'mon. *Shoves her hands in her pockets and starts off* 15 Dec 14, 03:17 AM Zernebog (LPA): Oh right. Turning it off. *looks thoughtful* Think of the connection between you two as an open valve. Then close it slowly. Should work for your first time. 15 Dec 14, 03:14 AM Ricki {LPA}: Hey uh... Quick question... How do you turn it off? 15 Dec 14, 03:13 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Happy happy joy joy* *She bounces a bit before finally getting herself under control and laughing a bit* Shit, man. I have no idea how I'm gonna repay you for this one. Thanks, Ziggy. *Glances at Rep and then a thought occurs* 15 Dec 14, 03:10 AM Zernebog (LPA): *shakes head in amusement and just watches her squeal because this is just so amusing* 15 Dec 14, 03:08 AM Ricki {LPA}: *And total fluster, looking over at Rep and his awesomeness and back at Zernebog and then back at MY EPIC BAD ASS* *Words cannot express, can't nope just* . . . *Sets her hands on her face with incomprehensible muffled squealing* 15 Dec 14, 03:07 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Processing* . . . *Rep casually side stepping away* 15 Dec 14, 03:06 AM Zernebog (LPA): *smirks* Consider it my Christmas and congratulation gift all rolled in one. I always intended to give it to you since I found it all those months ago. 15 Dec 14, 03:06 AM Ricki {LPA}: Oh yeah, right, you probably want that back right? 15 Dec 14, 03:05 AM Zernebog (LPA): *grins* I'm not one to turn down free food, so sure. *the two dragons cheer* Oh, and the Lucarionite you have? 15 Dec 14, 03:01 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Chuckles a bit and looks around the battlefield before looking over at Zernebog* Want to celebrate my awesomeness with lunch? I'll buy? *Glances over at Rep* 15 Dec 14, 02:59 AM Zernebog (LPA): You're welcome~ *bumps her fist* And first I've heard of it, but you're my best friend too. *chuckles* 15 Dec 14, 02:50 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Looks over at Zernebog and chuckles a bit at the welcome and smiles back at him* ... Thanks, Zernebog. *She lets go of Rep and steps over to offer her fist to him for him to bump* You know, you're probably like my best friend? 15 Dec 14, 02:46 AM Zernebog (LPA): *Hyperion and Icarus give a congratulatory roar while Zernebog claps... after getting rid of the spots that appeared in his eyes from the light show. Damn he forgot how bright that was.* Welcome to the elite. 15 Dec 14, 02:46 AM Ricki {LPA}: *She stares for a moment at the transformation, before suddenly grinning and rushing over to see his new set up, laughing and hugging the Lucario who loosely hugs her back* We did it, Rep! Oh man, you look amazing, this feels amazing. *Can't help but once more start laughing as she bounces in comparison to the calmer and content Lucario* 15 Dec 14, 02:44 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Nods and glances down at the Mega Bangle of fabulosity before looking over at Rep who is ever so patiently focusing on her* *She toys lightly with the bangle before looking over at Rep and holding up her arm slowly* *Focusing... Focusing...* *There's a bit of a pause, before suddenly the two stones begin gently vibrating and glowing, Rep quickly being engulfed in the evolutionary light before it fades to reveal MEGA REP* 15 Dec 14, 02:40 AM Zernebog (LPA): *chuckles* Focus on each other. You'll be able to figure out the rest. 15 Dec 14, 02:40 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Nerves a little rattled suddenly at the fact of now being expected to perform and she looks over at Rep who gives her a nod in return, seeming confident and in turn she feels more at ease* ... Yeah. Yeah, let's give it a shot. Any kind of magic words or like... Tips for this? 15 Dec 14, 02:37 AM Zernebog (LPA): That aside, you two ready for the field test? 15 Dec 14, 02:37 AM Ricki {LPA}: *OH I would not be surprised* 15 Dec 14, 02:37 AM Zernebog (LPA): *Hardy har har. You know I'm not the jewelry type.* 15 Dec 14, 02:34 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Had assumed a certain someone was just making his Pokemon look gaudy to match his arrogant personality* 15 Dec 14, 02:34 AM Zernebog (LPA): Yes. *chuckles* Yes it is. Lucarionite. I'm surprised you didn't recognize it. It was the same one Dio was wearing back in Laverre. 15 Dec 14, 02:32 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Rep shrugs - he's seen weirder shit in his life courtesy of a CERTAIN SOMEONE - before taking the stone* *He eyes it briefly before slipping it on and looking over at Ricki who seems surprised by the sight* *She glances at the color of the stone before looking to her Key Stone and slowly looks over at Zernebog* . . . Is that the one for Lucario's...? 15 Dec 14, 02:30 AM Zernebog (LPA): *laughs* A while ago. You forget that I'm a very good thief. *waves at Rep* Hello Rep. *shrugs* Don't worry though, I only took him to make a point. *puts a band on the unidentified mega stone and then gives it to Rep* Here, wear this dude. 15 Dec 14, 02:29 AM Ricki {LPA}: . . . *PAUSE* *Slaps her hand on her hip and YEP the pokeball is missing* When did--How di-- Did you seriously pick pocket me?! *Rep blinks in surprise at the sudden release and looks between the two before flat looking at them both* 15 Dec 14, 02:26 AM Zernebog (LPA): I have no idea. I actually usually set mine in a metal gauntlet, but that's in the repair shop right now so I'm wearing my back-up gloves. *grins amusedly* I already have something in mind. *pulls out Rep's pokeball with his free hand and releases the aforementioned Lucario into the area* 15 Dec 14, 02:25 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Digs around a little in the bin* So, wait, which one do you think I should try first? 15 Dec 14, 02:25 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Pauses as he puts it in a bangle* . . . *Oh hell nah, she was so gonna have to get something else for that* *Takes the bangle and slips it on anyways* *How do people wear these awful things* I'll see what I can whip up, but thanks. 15 Dec 14, 02:23 AM Zernebog (LPA): Thank you. *takes the stone and then pulls out a bangle from his pocket. He inserts the stone in and then hands it back to her* I'm not sure if that's how you wanted to use it, since it may be a bit unwieldy. You can have it set in something else later when you have the time. But right now is the most exciting part. Field test time~ 15 Dec 14, 02:20 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Chuckles a bit as she takes back the bin* Uh, yeah, that's actually why I got it... I'll try it out with Pidge later. *Glances down at the mega stone before looking up at Zernebog* *Nods and offers the stone to him* Sure. 15 Dec 14, 02:18 AM Zernebog (LPA): *oh look deja vu* *takes the bin and pulls them out one by one, shows it to her and states their name before putting it back in* Absolite. Venusaurite. Abomasite. And.... *pauses for a moment as he looks at the last one* Well, this one is new. Looks like you got an unknown one at your hands. *examines the colors* This is probably a Pidgeot's mega stone though. *puts them back inside then hands her back the bin* *extends his hand out* May I borrow your Key Stone for a minute? 15 Dec 14, 02:16 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Called it* *Nods and pops off the lid, offering the bin to him* *Venusaur, Pidgeot, Abomasnow, and Absol Mega Stones* 15 Dec 14, 02:14 AM Zernebog (LPA): Alright. Now that the main explanation is done, open your bin and I'll tell you the identity of your Mega Stones. 15 Dec 14, 02:13 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Hugging the bin now to her chest, she shook her head, figuring he'd tell her which is what in a bit* No, uh, go on. 15 Dec 14, 02:11 AM Zernebog (LPA): Around thirty or so last that I knew, but even now they're discovering new Mega Stones. *gestures over to Icarus* In fact, Salamence's mega evolution is my newest discovered Mega Form. Not everything about Mega Evolution's been discovered yet. There's still a lot left to be uncovered about it. *turns back to Ricki* Any other questions or can I move on? 15 Dec 14, 02:05 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Nods to show she's listening* *A tight bond with her Pokemon, right. She had that, didn't she? She raised them all, she worked so hard with them, she knew how to handle them as babies and adults, she took care of them and they'd go through hell for her too* *Nodding at Zernebog's words, Ricki looks back to the stone on the Charizard before glancing back down to her bin* I understand... So uh... Wait, how many Pokemon can mega evolve? 15 Dec 14, 02:01 AM Zernebog (LPA): *raises his hand* But. The bond between you and your pokemon must be real tight. Like brothers to the end or something even tighter. *Hyperion and Icarus nod* Not only that, but the Mega Stone you have MUST be correct or it won't work either. In any case, that was why I emphasized 15 Dec 14, 02:00 AM Zernebog (LPA): *nods* Correct. The Key Stone and the Mega Stone are actually your tools to achieve it. You wear the key stone while the pokemon wears the appropriate mega stone, and then the two resonate with each other. The energy from the bond you and your pokemon share is refined to a special wavelength that powers up your pokemon and enables it to achieve Mega Evolution. 15 Dec 14, 01:52 AM Ricki {LPA}: *She snorts at the nod towards her and looks over at Zernebog before looking at the stone he's wearing* *She steps over to lightly touch the stone, inspecting it quietly before she looks over at Zernebog with a nod* Oh so... This requires energy from the both of us to activate, then? 15 Dec 14, 01:45 AM Zernebog (LPA): Great. *grins* It's time for you to meet another old friend. *takes out a pokeball and tosses it up in the air, releasing the form of a VERY familiar black dragon, Hyperion* *Hyperion just gives Ricki a 'hey baby' head nod* *If one would care to look, there was a a blue Mega Stone set on his neck in a collar, this one in various shades of blue with a black cat's eye, which Zerne gestures to* For example, Rion here has a Charizard X Mega Stone, which does not use the colors of his non-shiny counterpart but instead uses that of his non-shiny Mega Charizard X's counterpart. It took me a bit of research to find out that shiny colors DO carry over in a Mega pokemon. *Icarus snorts over from the side, reminding him of something important* I wish I could show you, but I can't. Which brings me to my next point. You can only use Mega Evolution at one pokemon at a time, usually for hours on end., in addition to it being temporary. The energy drain is too much on the pokemon and you. 15 Dec 14, 01:40 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Limit break, she was familiar with that from her otaku days* *She nods as he explains, glancing briefly at her bin of stones before looking back to the one he's holding* *Pauses before nodding* Yeah, I'll learn whatever you got regarding this. 15 Dec 14, 01:37 AM Zernebog (LPA): *clears his throat* Anyways, back on topic. As I clarified before the fight, Mega Evolution is the next step after fully-evolving a pokemon. *shrugs* I've been playing video games lately and one of them had the appropriate term for it -- limit break. Think of it as a limit break. Temporary mega boost of power that you can get through.... *takes out an unidentified mega stone from his jacket pocket* This. This is called -unoriginally enough- a Mega Stone. As you may have noticed, there's more than one mega stone. You see, that's because a mega stone corresponds to a certain pokemon, often indicated by color. However, that is not always the case. Would you like to see an example of a mega stone NOT matching the color of the pokemon it is tied to? 15 Dec 14, 01:35 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Lowers the rock, bringing it to her chest as he began* *Pauses at the explanation regarding the lack of knowledge makes the stones useless* ... *Chuckles a bit* Alright, that makes me feel a little better. You have my undivided attention, Zernebog, lay it on me. 15 Dec 14, 01:33 AM Zernebog (LPA): *and oh look, bundle of hyperactivity* *Icarus and Zerne are amused* *nods* Yes, that's the Key stone. Now... lesson time. Listen up, because what I'm about to say is damn important. *nods to himself.* But before we begin, I'd like to note that even with the that rock, if you don't know how to use it then it's still useless. *He saw that look. He knew that look, you see.* 15 Dec 14, 01:32 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Wait... Wait, did I seriously have the key for this thing the whole time?* *Suddenly stares at the rock with a briefly flat look* *Fuck me, really?* 15 Dec 14, 01:30 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Nods and starts to pull out the bin from her bag again before pause* . . . Which one i-- *He explains and she nods reaching in to grab the Key Stone* *Holds it up proudly* I have the Que St-- Er, Key Stone, ri-right? *Excited Ricki don't mind the fumble* 15 Dec 14, 01:25 AM Zernebog (LPA): *blinks at sudden hug because he's not used to hugs that don't come from family members anymore* *just chuckles as she pauses and releases him* You're welcome. Now bring out your Key Stone from the bin, because I'm going to induct you as one of the chosen few here and now with a lesson on Mega Evolution. *pauses* It's the rainbow stone with the cat's eye that looks like DNA. 15 Dec 14, 01:23 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Processes for a moment before she gets a giant grin in return* Se-Seriously?! Holy shit! *Suddenly hugs Zernebog, because ohmyGod* Thank you Ziggy! *Pause* *Release, back step, bouncing in place, happy Ricki is happy* 15 Dec 14, 01:19 AM Zernebog (LPA): *grins brightly* Yes, you did knucklehead. You passed. With the skin of your teeth, but you passed. 15 Dec 14, 01:18 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Blinks when his hand settles on her head and her hood is pushed back* *Hair ruffled, she flusters slightly, reaching up to push back his hand but pauses mid push at his words* *Lost the battle, won the wa--* . . . *Pauses and glances up at him, hesitant before* You... You mean I passed the test? 15 Dec 14, 01:14 AM Zernebog (LPA): *surreptitiously pockets the pokeball for now before his other hand suddenly moves to Ricki's head, removing her hoodie and ruffling her hair affectionately with a laugh.* You may have lost the battle, but you won the war. 15 Dec 14, 01:12 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Desire to punt Icarus lowering* *Glances towards the Dragon as Zernebog sneaks the pokeball* I see... Thanks, Icarus, I guess. He's really amazing like this Ziggy, I didn't expect the power to get boosted that much... *Though did you have to go and overkill my Venusaur, low blow bruh* *Shakes her head slightly* Honestly, not a clue. 15 Dec 14, 01:07 AM Zernebog (LPA): Oh, you did well enough. *smiles again* That is what Icarus pointed out to me in that moment. He thought you worthy enough to see a glimpse of his full power. *as he talks, he quietly takes Rep's pokeball from her belt with surprising speed and stealth born from years of thieving while making sure that her attention is entirely on him and his dragon* Do you know what that meant? 15 Dec 14, 01:03 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Looks up at him as he approaches and explains that that wasn't just about battling, but the bond she shared with her Pokemon* *Her hand moves to rest over where he poked her, and she stares at him quietly, a bit surprised* . . . Oh... So... Uh... *Blinks, suddenly completely unsure of where this is going* Well I hoped I at least did well in that regard... *Would go to war for her babies, sir.* 15 Dec 14, 12:58 AM Zernebog (LPA): *snorts and shakes his head* I figured. *walks to her until they were face-to-face* You see... this test was not just about your battling prowess, though it played a part. What that mostly was...? *he pokes her on the sternum, careful to avoid touching no-no places that would get him slapped* A test of your bond. There's nothing like a trial through blood and fire to see a bond between pokemon and their trainers. 15 Dec 14, 12:54 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Sighs and smiles back, though Zernebog looking amused rarely boded well* *It was a fun battle at least, even if she didn't win which means the mega thing was still out of her league* *Pauses at the question and she shrugs, smiling back at him* Can't say, Ziggy. Maybe I'm just that good you had to go for it? *Joking* Got bored? Tight schedule? I'm sure you'll tell me no matter what I say and you know I'm no good with riddles. 15 Dec 14, 12:51 AM Zernebog (LPA): I know. *amused smile as he glances back at Icarus, who was watching them both with a proud smirk* *shakes his head* You know, I wasn't originally planning on pulling that card out. I didn't do it in the tournament and I wasn't going to here, but this large ham insisted. *turns back to Ricki, still amused* Any guesses as to why? 15 Dec 14, 12:47 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Wanting to go punch a dragon, but instead Ricki kneels down by Breezy to gently pat her passed out behemoth* You did good, girl *She whispers, before returning it, the action followed by some of the metal shrapnel dropping to the ground* *She places the ball back on her belt and comes back up, dusting herself off, when she hears... Clapping?* *Blinks and glances up at Zernebog, a bit baffled by the praise* Heh, star? You know you had me scrambling and running that whole time right? *Shoves her hands in her pockets, carefully navigating the obliterated battle ground to return to standing in front of Zernebog* It was a great battle, at the least... *Glances over at the Salamence* You gave it a pretty solid ending. 15 Dec 14, 12:44 AM Zernebog (LPA): *and the Venusaur is out, just as Zernebog had predicted. It didn't even stand a chance against the opening Salvo. Zernebog watches as Icarus roars in triumph before landing behind Zernebog in his new form, roosting the little damage he had accumulated over the course of the battle* As I expected. Great show, Icarus. *turns to pet the Salamence on the head before turning back to Ricki* *is quiet for a few moments before giving her a few slow claps* But I suppose I should offer congratulations to the real star of the show. You did much better and lasted longer than I thought you would, Ricki. 15 Dec 14, 12:39 AM Ricki {LPA}: *The Venusaur doesn't make it through the combo, the petals go up in flame, the metal plates bust and Ricki defensively brings up her arms as she slides slightly from the wave of heat going past her* *She doesn't even want to look, just standing there as it quiets down and she hears the thunk of the Venusaur getting knocked out* . . . *Damn it... Damn it* *She sucks in a deep breath, shrugging off the heat to slowly look back over at her Venusaur and start over to check on her, but she's out as Ricki had assumed* 15 Dec 14, 12:35 AM Ricki {LPA}: *For a moment, the sight of the Salamence getting actually hit has her elated, when she realizes... It was still standing. No, she hadn't hit it hard enough, if the Toxic from earlier had only managed to make its mark she would've had it!* *Mind scrambling, she's ready to call out her next orders to recover and press forward with a last resort, when suddenly the Salamence goes to Zernebog* . . . *Time out?* *She pauses, watching the two in confusion, glancing towards her weakened Venusaur and then back at the Salamence when it suddenly begins glowing, the glove on Zernebog's hand too, what was going o-- NO. She knew that glow from the League tournament* *No way, no, Salamence couldn't possibly Mega Evolve too, except it did...* *Recover, quick, it's acting, Ricki* Uh--Breezy, cover! *A Petal Blizzard goes off, grabbing some metal plates from earlier to try and defend herself but it's too much* 15 Dec 14, 12:25 AM Zernebog (LPA): Impressive. *his eyes get a deadly gleam as the orb on his glove begins to glow, with the marble on the Salamence's choker glowing along with it* Asobi wa owari da. *Icarus' form is enveloped in an eerie pinkish-purple glow that expands into a sphere, before shattering and revealing that he had turned into Mega Form* Sugu raku ni shite yaru. Icarus, Searing Shout. *Screams out and uses a combination of Hyper Voice and Heat Wave again, unleashing hot sonic waves in all directions. However, it is much stronger than before due to his ability activating* (translations: Asobi wa owari da: Playtime is over. Sugu raju ni shite yaru: I'll release you of your suffering very soon. ) 15 Dec 14, 12:20 AM Zernebog (LPA): *was about to charge again with Aerial Ace with the intent of finishing it off in one hit when swift vines suddenly yank him off his flight pattern, causing him to roar in confusion* *Zernebog's eyebrows raise underneath his bandana but says nothing, believing that Icarus had this handled* *Icarus tries to untangle himself, but the Venusaur is WAY too heavy so he gets pulled down and yanked towards the Venusaur* *Opens his mouth to try and shout his way out of this, only to be hit full-force with Solar Beam and sent crashing upwards into the sky* *It was the first move that actually HURT, causing the Salamence to grit its teeth in irritation until the beam finally stops* *Icarus' form is steaming a bit from the hit, and his eyes were narrowed angrily* *It was supposed to continue playing and testing out this Venusaur, but now he's pissed and wants it to end* *flies back down near Zernebog and gives a particular trill* *Zernebog's face was stoic this time upon seeing the hit before his lips twitched upwards into a slow smile* 15 Dec 14, 12:11 AM Ricki {LPA}: *The Venusaur had been using the Petal Blizzard as cover to move, just having narrowly avoiding a damn near lethal Aerial Ace (OVERKILL MUCH YA ASS) as the Salamence takes to the sky* *Ricki reacts quickly at the sight of the flowers beginning to get burned away* CRANE! *The Venusaur wraps it's vines around the crane high in the sky and pulls itself up and out of the heat, once more a flying reptilian plant* Like a Wrecking Ball! *Suddenly redirecting the vines to grab onto the crane's vertical section, the Venusaur gives a hard yank to start itself towards it, before suddenly the vine would whip out the Salamence to latch on with a harsh yank on the wing and hopefully knock it off flight pattern again* Drop the bass! *Releasing the Crane and keeping grip on the Salamence's wing, Breezy would drop and pull the Salamence with her* While it's off balance! *Shaking the vine and yanking it again and again to keep the Salamnece shaken up, Breezy would give one more hard yank towards herself prior to setting off the Solar Beam* 14 Dec 14, 11:56 PM Zernebog (LPA): *Icarus grins evilly and steels itself one more time with Iron Defense, maxing out his defenses. Then he charges through the Petal Blizzard with nary a flinch, blurring into Aerial Ace as it tries to hit the Venusaur with it* *Whether or not it hit, he flies back up and away from the Venusaur and casually burns the second wave away with Heat Wave* *If one didn't know any better, one might say that the dragon was goading it to shoot* *just watches* Hard to, considering that's one of Rion's favorite moves. 14 Dec 14, 11:53 PM Ricki {LPA}: At least try to act surprised, Ziggy. *The Venusaur drops back down to the ground with a loud thud, suddenly another powerful Petal Blizzard errupting. Charge 2* *The claws on that Salamence looking nasty, she'd have to get the timing right* *When the Petal Blizzard fades, another one starts back up quickly* 14 Dec 14, 11:32 PM Zernebog (LPA): *Icarus finds his movements slowed down enough by the sudden burst of petals cutting at his scales enough to have the thing escape from his hit* smoke clears and sees the Venusaur up in the air, charging something* *Zernebog recognizes what it was charging nearly instantly* Solar Beam, huh? *smirks* You'll have to work for this one. Icarus~ prep yourself. *Icarus stares at his trainer, but does as he is told and sharpens his claws three times, boosting his attack to dangerous levels* 14 Dec 14, 11:17 PM Ricki {LPA}: Right, cover up, Breezy! *The Venusaur catches some of the sheet metal thrown towards it and uses it as a shield against the rest of the rock and debris, before the Hyper Voice catches them both off guard* *Ability: Overgrow is now in effect* *The battlefield isn't going to be smoke long* *Ricki waits for the Salamence to dive into it before* Clean it up and get out! *Another Petal Blizzard suddenly explodes from the ground just as Breezy yanks herself up out of the smoke by her vines around the skeleton of the construction site* *In the air, she uses the vines to turn back around and search for the Salamence* Charge! *A glow begins building on the Venusaur's back charging for something* 14 Dec 14, 11:08 PM Zernebog (LPA): *looks thoughtful* Fun ones. Although, you're right. Now it does look like tennis. Icarus~ ShhBOOM. *Icarus then waves a claw and sends a wave of rocks and debris from the construction site right at the Venusaur, waiting for it to move away or block* *When it does, he'll blast his own attack with Hyper Voice to turn it into powder and obscuring smoke that would block his form, hiding his true intentions* *moves within the obscured battlefield to where it last saw the Venusaur's back and then blurs into motion, using Aerial Ace to smack it hard and get in and out of the cloud of smoke and away from the Venusaur in a blur of pure speed* 14 Dec 14, 11:00 PM Ricki {LPA}: . . . What kind of billiards have you been playing? Maybe this is more like tennis - Redirection and weaken the blast! *Breezy starts moving aside, using her Vine Whip to redirect the speeding bullet of bulldozer and cement mixer to the side while launching another Petal Blizzard to weaken the Hyper Voice, but still getting hit by it* 14 Dec 14, 10:55 PM Zernebog (LPA): *doesn't even flinch as he sees the combination being returned again* Hm... nah. Not dodgeball. Billiards. Most epic game of billiards ever. *Again, Icarus takes his cue moving around and then hitting the bulldozer portion with his tail, denting it and stopping it cold with a powerful clang* *he then swats it with his tail again a moment later, sending it right back* *then he helps it along by unleashing a sonic scream in all directions, making Zernebog twitch while pushing the two things down much faster than he had the first time around* 14 Dec 14, 10:50 PM Ricki {LPA}: *Shit* This is more like an intense game of dodgeball. Breezy, a more direct angle at the speedy fucker. *This time as the flowers bloom, they come at an angle towards the Salamence, the bulldozer and cement mixer almost being too much before being thrusted back at Salamence with the help of two hard Vine Whips helping it propel back at Icarus* 14 Dec 14, 10:46 PM Zernebog (LPA): I wonder if this could be referred to as volleyball. *sounds like he was talking about the weather* *Icarus takes that as his cue to dart over to the Bulldozer sent in the air and smacks his tail into it, sending it flying right at the ominous cement mixer at just the right angle* *the bulldozer and cement mixer crash together at an angle and then start hurtling towards the Venusaur with its new trajectory with the help of gravity* *Icarus then helps it and himself along by adding in a dash of tumultuous winds to push it even faster via Tailwind* 14 Dec 14, 10:42 PM Ricki {LPA}: *Why was it going for the bulldozer, no... No... BAD SALAMENCE* Shit, Breezy, flower power please! *Another blast of the Petal Blizzard errupting from the ground sends the Bull Dozer up into the air before - idea* SLING SHOT! *Keeping the Petal Blizzard going, there's the groan of metal being moved in the blinding flowers before they fall to reveal Breezy's used her own vines around the skeleton of the building to creating a make shift slingshot with the cement mixer from earlier - filled once more with Toxic waste* Hit this! *And launched at the Salamence* 14 Dec 14, 10:35 PM Zernebog (LPA): If that's what you want.... *smirk gains as a malicious edge even as the Salamence burns and pushes the toxins away from him with another Heat Wave like it was the plague* *doesn't grimace despite the fact the battlefield is starting to feel hotter with all of the waves of heat that the Salamence was giving out like candy and instead watches as said dragon goes to a bulldozer, stiffens his tail and wraps it around one of the steel things attached to the plate, then swings it around with a bit of effort before tossing it at the Venusaur with surprising strength that was partially from boosting its attack with Hone Claws* ...batter up! 13 Dec 14, 05:59 AM Ricki {LPA}: If you were expecting some sort of formal straight forward battle bullshit, you really don't know me that well, Zernebog. Adapt or kiss your sorry ass good bye, those are my terms. *Using the remains of the truck to block the incoming onslaught of rocks and crap, the Venusaur finally just does her own mental fuck it* *Launching a spray of Venoshock poison filled with the Toxic chemicals at the Salamence, she gets to moving once more across the field, refusing to stay still this time around* 13 Dec 14, 05:48 AM Zernebog (LPA): A lot more than that. *watches as Icarus uses another Searing Shout to pusb the truck and ecerything else back down where they belonged before waving a claw to fhe side in order to try and blindside the Veusaur with the debris and rocks he used to open the truck earlier* 13 Dec 14, 05:44 AM Ricki {LPA}: What's it take to impress a guy around here? Breezy, fuck it! *Once the truck is shot upwards, another sudden explosion of petals happens, throwing the truck flying into the air but this time the petals are heavily laced with the toxic mess Breezy had been building up inside of her make-shift shell* *I will make this entire battlefield toxic if I have to* 13 Dec 14, 05:38 AM Zernebog (LPA): Oh, I'm entertained alright. Impressed is another thing entirely. *looks up* Icarus, sharp conducting skills go. *Icarus sharpened his claws k ce and then waved his claws up in the air* *rocks and debris all around the battlefield began to raise up. one set tore at the tarp while anofher shot up and pushed the truck upwards and flipped it tk the other side* 13 Dec 14, 05:25 AM Ricki {LPA}: Are you not entertained, Zernebog? *There's a brief pause, Ricki studying Zernebog and looking back up to the Salamence* *Someone was being a hardass, she knew this was a losing battle, but she was always one for going out in flames* *The Venusaur continued to lay in wait, I'll give you three choices. Check the Skeleton of the Construction zone, Beneath some nearby tarp, or Under the truck* 13 Dec 14, 05:20 AM Zernebog (LPA): Tempted to make a guess, but I'm pretty sure considering what Icarus is probably doing right now, I'd win the waiting game. *dry tone* This isn't impressing me, Ricki. 13 Dec 14, 05:18 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Stares at Zernebog for a long moment* . . . I am so willing to wait this one out. C'mon Ziggy, where'd the big Venusaur go? 13 Dec 14, 05:15 AM Zernebog (LPA): *Houdini, huh?* *watches as Icarus burns away the flowers to reveal... nothing but the upturned truck and the ground* *Icarus frowns but waits above, this time steeling his scales twice with Iron Defense while waiting for the Venusaur to resurface because he was sure that it wasn't unconscious yet* *Meanwhile, Zernebog whistles low....* 13 Dec 14, 05:10 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Ohfuckme* MOVE IT YA TURTLE! *If a Venusaur could hop, Breezy was gonna fucking hop* *Knocking the truck up and off the pile of pebbles, she'd yank it back down to block a good portion of the incoming rocks, but some still managed to nail the Venusaur's side* *Think Ricki, thi--* Breezy! Let's pull a Houdini! *There was a brief pause, before suddenly the ground was covered with blossoming flowers that'd explode upwards into a Petal Blizzard once more causing a blinding effect over the field* *When it'd fade this time, the truck was still y'know there, upside down, and not moved from it's original position* *Nothing seemed different, the Venusaur should appear to have remained under the truck after it's dazzling explosion of petals* 13 Dec 14, 05:02 AM Zernebog (LPA): *seeing that the thing contained rocks and pebbles, Zernebog had an evil idea* Icarus... earthbend! You know what! *Icarus honed his claws once more and then raised a paw. The rocks and pebbles that the truck was leaning on suddenly lurched and aimed to hit and trap the Venusaur inside of its own precious shelter and whatever it might have been doing inside* 13 Dec 14, 04:57 AM Ricki {LPA}: *As everything slid, the Venusaur backed up quickly to avoid being hit by the flying objects* *Ricki's eye stayed on the prize, watching where the Salamence took off to the sky... and kept going and going and...* *ooooh she did not like where that was going* Breezy. Flip the truck, you're gonna need it. *That didn't bode well* *Grabbing the truck and swinging herself up and over it, the Venusaur would land on the other side, closer to the center of the field and rock the truck to flip it onto it's side* *The contents would spill out, rocks and pebbles making a messy pile but Breezy paid no mind as she'd give another yank on the truck and flip it over to hide under it the best she could from the incoming potential sky dive* *The pile of rocks left the truck at a bit of an awkward angle, but the opening and the interior of said truck began to become a toxic bomb, Breezy coating every inch in her toxic residue, ready to blast this poisonous bomb the moment the Salamence tried anything* 13 Dec 14, 04:48 AM Zernebog (LPA): *Icarus blinks and pales a little at the spinning cement mixer before grunting and then unleashing another wave of blistering heat from his wings that burned the seeds coated with cement... only to make it more liquid though the toxins and seeds had burned to a crisp* *Then he uses Hyper Voice again to push everything away from him - the cement mixer, the weird muck, and even the truck that the Venusaur was hiding in. Then he went high up, much higher than the Venusaur had tossed the truck and looked down as he got a perfect view of the Venusaur at his diagonal angle....* 13 Dec 14, 04:43 AM Ricki {LPA}: Breezy. The cement mixer over there. *The Venusaur's vines wrap around the cement mixer, pulling it slowly over to her hide way* Make it rain, rage quit style. *There would be a brief pause, before Venusaur would suddenly throw said cement mixer up over the truck acting as her cover* *Said cement mixer full of Leech Seeds covered in Toxic residue would result in said seeds exploding everywhere as it spun wildly about courtesy of how it was thrown* 13 Dec 14, 04:35 AM Zernebog (LPA): *glances at Ricki* Of course. Figured it was inevitable with the way we fight. Why? 13 Dec 14, 04:34 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Pauses* . . . Hey quick question, we're free to wreck this place, right? You got permission and shit. 13 Dec 14, 04:33 AM Zernebog (LPA): *blinks at the spiderman comment but just shakes his head and taps his wrist as if remembering something, which just so happened to be the winds dying down* Another round, Icarus. *Icarus flaps his wings and makes the winds turbulent again, forcing the Toxic to smack into debris near the side instead of being hitting him, essentially blocking it.* *Icarus patiently hones his claws twice as he waits for his prey to come out of hiding....* 13 Dec 14, 04:29 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Scoffs* Breezy, out of the way! *The Venusaur doesn't waste time playing take cover from the bullshit and immediately spots one of the massive trucks having been left at the scene and starts to pull herself over towards it to get out of the way* *The Venusaur isn't quite that quick and gets clipped briefly but manages to take cover from most of the incoming attack* Spider Man it! *Once the wave of Heat and Voice fades, Breezy uses her vines to pull her up into the air and unleash another Toxic at the Pokemon, before dropping back down behind the truck for cover* 13 Dec 14, 04:11 AM Zernebog (LPA): *tilts his head at the sight of the Venusaur using scrap as a shield along with the Petal Blizzard to block Icarus' heated breath* Crafty, but it won't help you. Searing Shout. *Icarus grins before roaring very loudly, unleashing heated sonic waves from his mouth in a devastating combination of Hyper Voice and Heat Wave* 13 Dec 14, 04:07 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Shit she'd hoped he wouldn't have seen that* Breezy, give him somethin' else to burn and move it! *The Pokemon's vines suddenly wrapped around the framing what was left of the construction project and with a blast of the Petal Blizzard, the Venusaur hoped to counter the Heat Wave while it made a swift retreat with the help of the Vines pulling it back to the edge of the zone* *Damn it, Toxic was supposed to be a guaranteed never miss, but he kept blocking it was the problem* *Grass y u flammable* 13 Dec 14, 03:58 AM Zernebog (LPA): *while Icarus was distracted, Zernebog was definitely not.* Burn it all! *Icarus rights himself and promptly flaps his wings, sending off a burning wave of heat in all directions that burns the petals again and incinerates the Toxic in the process* *unleashes a second Heat Wave, this time from his mouth aimed right at the Venusaur and everything near it as a blistering wave of heat and wind* 13 Dec 14, 03:47 AM Ricki {LPA}: *The Hyper Voice goes off, blowing away the Sleeping Powder, but as the Salamence handles that, Ricki brings her thumb across her neck, signaling the Venusaur to unleash another blast of Toxic at the briefly distracted Dragon* *Breezy tanked the Hyper Voice, before unleashing another Petal Blizzard to hopefully distract the Salamence from the unleashed Toxic coming from the side* 13 Dec 14, 03:40 AM Zernebog (LPA): *true to form, Icarus burns the Petal Blizzard again as soon as it's launched, only to blink as the Venusaur* *is caught by surprise as the vines wind around his wings this time, but upon hearing a click from Zerne he roared out, using Hyper Voice to push away the giant cloud of sleeping powder he was being yanked towards while trying to damage the Venusaur at the same time, hopefully by hurting its ears real bad* 13 Dec 14, 03:34 AM Ricki {LPA}: *And now it was even faster, she recognized the gust of a Tailwind anywhere* *Staying stationary wasn't helping* *The Venusaur would unleash another Petal Blizzard to temporarily block itself from view again* *If blown away by a Heat Wave or whatever means the Salamence goes to counter it, when the Petal Blizzard dissipates, the Venusaur is no longer in the position it was before, having move closer and more towards the center of the field* *The vines whip out again, aiming to rather redirect the Salamence's path towards the giant cloud of Sleep Powder the Venusaur unleashed again* 13 Dec 14, 03:26 AM Zernebog (LPA): *Icarus snorts and moves away from the vines easily* *Zernebog chuckles snaps his fingers* *Icarus flaps his wings violently, summoning violently-whipping winds that would push the Sleeping Powder back if it was released and speeding up the Salamence at the same time, like a tailwind. Which it was.* 13 Dec 14, 03:22 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Great, Heat Wave, fan-fucking-tastic* Breezy, bring 'im back down and out! *Breezy suddenly unleashes a Vine whip to aim at the Salamence's wings* *While she was no speed demon, her vines moved fast enough for her* *Intending to grab onto Icarus's wing and give a good tug to throw the Pokemon off enough for the cloud of Sleeping Powder suddenly bursting from the Venusaur's flower at Icarus* 13 Dec 14, 03:17 AM Zernebog (LPA): *stares and smiles* Icarus, burn it all. *The Salamence roars and exhales a breath of heated air that collides head-on with the blizzard of petals, burning them to cinders almost instantly. The toxified seeds also burn in the process, turning to ash and being pushed back as nothing but ashes* *Icarus huffs and narrows its eyes at the Venusaur as he flaps his wings once and starts to hover in the air* 13 Dec 14, 03:09 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Thinks briefly, eyeing the Salamence and mentally going over what she knows of the species, a couple of options are already shut down in favor of not making it even more effective against Breezy if it has any fire type moves - which is more likely than she likes to think about for long* Breezy, start off with a flower shower and try and set up for a steady defeat! *The Venusaur gives a grunt of acknowledgment, the ground around the Venusaur suddenly blooming before a wave of petals flies across the field into a blinding mess at the Salamence. In the midst of the Petal Blizzard though, a Toxic set of Leech Seeds is sent hurdling towards the Salamence, aiming specifically to get the seeds' weeds wrapped around it's wings to keep it ground bound* 13 Dec 14, 03:01 AM Zernebog (LPA): *It's a special day so he had to make a show* *waves the non Key Stone-bearing hand at her* Oh, by all means take the first move, Ricki. *after all, if he was going to make a show then he might as well follow the way those two trainers did it all those months ago* 13 Dec 14, 02:59 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Blinks at the whistle, but her eyes fall on the rainbow stone that looked a lot like her own in the bin he asked her to bring* *He had one too? Why reveal it now?* *She blinked and looked up to the Salamence as it swooped into the scene with an almost equally dramatic flair* *He was really making a show today, wasn't he?* *Salamence, those were tough, but not undefeatable* ... *Bringing herself back down to Earth with a deep breath, Ricki called out* So, shall I start this little batlte of our's? Or would you prefer the honors today, Ziggy? 13 Dec 14, 02:55 AM Zernebog (LPA): Alright. *chuckles* Nice to see you again, Breezy. *pauses and grins wryly* A blast from the past. Just like this one. *removes his bandages, revealing his leather bracer-and glove hybrid. There was a rainbow stone set in the back of the palm of the right hand, which is made more evident as Zerne puts two fingers to his lips and whistles sharply* *A few moments later, the sky becomes dark as something descends down, only to lighten up again when it finally lands on the ground, revealing a Salamence* 13 Dec 14, 02:52 AM Ricki {LPA}: Aw, how nice of you to remember my little Breezy baby. She'd be the very one, Ziggy. 13 Dec 14, 02:51 AM Zernebog (LPA): *smiles at her choice* Is that the same Bulbasaur who evolved into Ivysaur back in the Safari Zone? *uncrosses his arms and subtly begins loosening the bandages on his arms* 13 Dec 14, 02:50 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Better safe than sorry after your crack about them being tempting* *Nods and expands the pokeball, tossing it lightly before throwing it out there* *Releases her Venusaur, Breezy taking the field* 13 Dec 14, 02:48 AM Zernebog (LPA): Oh, I do. *crosses his arms as he watches Ricki inspecting her bin with no little amusement* *As if he would steal from her when he had a lot more of his own. Honestly* Ladies first~? 13 Dec 14, 02:47 AM Ricki {LPA}: You already got a choice in mind for this, Ziggy?! *Sets the bin back in her bag after making sure he didn't sneak any of them out before she pulls a pokeball from her belt* *Been meaning to test her out for a while, this was as good a time as any* 13 Dec 14, 02:46 AM Zernebog (LPA): Yep. Got Gwyn to agree to let me use it for this battle without any bystanders. *watches her for a few moments before standing up himself and walking to the other side* 13 Dec 14, 02:45 AM Ricki {LPA}: That was a terrible joke and you know it, ya prick. *Takes back the bin of marbles, wondering what they have to do with anything, but figures she'll figure out in a bit* *Nods* Yeah yeah, that's pretty basic. Guessing this is our arena? *Looks over the zone, starting to make her way back across it to give the battle room* 13 Dec 14, 02:42 AM Zernebog (LPA): *becomes a bit more casual as he puts the rock back into the bin* Was mulling over if I should offer it to you. *tilts his head and hands her back the bin* I wasn't aware you had any left, considering all the stupid stunts you've pulled. *shrugs* But I digress. Rules are simple. One pokemon each. No switches or substitutions. No revives either. Got that memorized~? 13 Dec 14, 02:40 AM Ricki {LPA}: Oh, so I just have to kick your ass again? Why didn't you just tell me this shit the last time then? State your rules... And give me back my marbles. 13 Dec 14, 02:38 AM Zernebog (LPA): Yes. *smirks* One you have to win. 13 Dec 14, 02:38 AM Ricki {LPA}: ... Just a battle? That's it? 13 Dec 14, 02:37 AM Zernebog (LPA): The marbles aren't my asking price, tempting as though it may be. *chuckles* The price is one battle. 13 Dec 14, 02:35 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Pauses as Zernebog reveals a flair for the dramatics* *With how he grips the rock - which she got because it matched Pidge perfectly - she figured he was simply referring to the marbles* *He always had a hard on for rocks and old shit* . . . If that's why you wanted the marbles, you could've just said so Ziggy, no need to go all Phantom of the Opera on me or something. *She wasn't exactly one for riddles and dramatics like this* 13 Dec 14, 02:33 AM Zernebog (LPA): *grips the the Pidgeotite* If I could do it freely, I would already have. *eyes turn steely* But everything has a price. *pauses dramatically before letting a small smile on his face* This price, though, is something I believe you'd be more than happy to give me. 13 Dec 14, 02:30 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Pauses* *Serious Zernebog. He typically had an apathetic look, but this one seemed more focus* . . . Wait... Are you saying you're gonna let me in on the whole Mega-bullshit? 13 Dec 14, 02:28 AM Zernebog (LPA): *chuckles, but otherwise retains a mostly serious face* Oh, Ricki... I wouldn't have asked you here if I hadn't known you would say yes. 13 Dec 14, 02:27 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Please don't* *Blinks as he begins to enter vague story teller mode and she eyes him curiously as he explains the huge secrecy about Mega Evolution before he finally looks to her* *Pauses* ... I'd say sign me the hell up? *Is that the right answer Sir Dick-All?* 13 Dec 14, 02:24 AM Zernebog (LPA): I'll hold you to that. *pulls out the Pidgeotite and examines it as she talks* *once she finishes talk, he begins to speak but he doesn't look at her* Mega Evolution is nothing short of a new form of power. A power that is guarded zealously by the chosen few who were fortunate enough to be told its secrets. *glances at her* But... what if I told you that there was a way for you to become one of those chosen few? 13 Dec 14, 02:20 AM Ricki {LPA}: I don't think you wanna pull the pin on that grenade. Maybe some other day. *Seems annoyed but doesn't let the subject hang like that* Anyways, that's about all I know regarding Mega Evolution. Don't know how it's done and only seen a few Pokemon do it myself, I figured it was just a rare phenomenon. Why do you ask? 13 Dec 14, 02:18 AM Zernebog (LPA): *amused grin* It's not so much a pop quiz as it is me checking something important. *nods* But yes, that's correct. *pauses* But on another note, what's your problem with that redhead anyway. She seemed fine when I battled with her that one time... *raises an eyebrow* 13 Dec 14, 02:16 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Blinks* ... You didn't tell me this would involve a pop quiz, Sir Dick-All. *Crosses her arms and thinks briefly, glancing down at the bin* . . . I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say that's what happened to the bitc-- er... Yumi Tasukai's Blaziken in the League Tournament back in the Summer... Like it's an evolution a level higher the previously established max, right? 13 Dec 14, 02:14 AM Zernebog (LPA): Also a valid explanation. *playful grin as he took the bins and inspected the contents* *nods and looks back to her* Absolutely. *turns a little serious* So what do you know about Mega evolution, Ricki? 13 Dec 14, 02:12 AM Ricki {LPA}: Yeah, it's that or maybe that black hole you call your heart just can't tolerate anything resembling warmth~ *Chuckles a bit* *Nods, pulling out the plastic bin and offering it to him* These ones right? 13 Dec 14, 02:10 AM Zernebog (LPA): *not deigning to answer that* Still too hot, but at least it's tolerable. I can admit that the blood running through my veins is probably liquid nitrogen or something because of my genetic intolerance to heat. *wipes some sweat off from his neck* Anyways, did you bring the rocks I asked you to bring? 13 Dec 14, 02:08 AM Ricki {LPA}: Oh I'm sorry Princess did I keep you waiting too long? It's actually one of the colder days I've noticed since I arrived here myself. *Chuckles as she heads over to him, crossing her arms* 13 Dec 14, 02:06 AM Zernebog (LPA): *unlike other people -including the residents of this blasted place- Zernebog absolutely abhorred the heat. He fucking hated deserts with a passion. His genetics made him unable to tolerate it for overly-long periods of time. Only the cold chill of wintertime made it somewhat tolerable for him. Somewhat. But this was the most convenient place he could find where the Gym Leader actually allowed him to battle in an area in the city. Granted Gwyn would have his head if he wrecked more than just this area but still.* *So he just sat there, waiting in this still too-hot sun until Ricki finally got here.* *smirks and waves at her from his seat atop a bunch of debris* Yo. About time you got here. I was getting sick of waiting in this blasted heat. 13 Dec 14, 02:00 AM Ricki {LPA}: *Y'know, it was a good thing this place was pretty much in the middle of a desert, it didn't get that cold, but it was still a bit too chilly for her tastes as she wandered through Clearwater in the midday sun* *Making her way around the streets, the slums of the city, her gaze fell to her phone that directed her to an abandoned construction zone - probably some rich man's unfortunate bankrupt remains or whatever* *Why the fuck did he call her here? If this was to hear some business pitch, she was gonna punch him* . . . Ziggy~? |
