005 [video/action]

[Rika is not amused. At all. The way she is currently presenting herself seems to be completely different than in the past. She means serious business.] Whoever is responsible for this is going to pay. [And she is quite sure of who it is.] I do not appreciate something like this happening in a world that is meant to be peaceful, and I will do what I can to make sure it is stopped.

Therefore, I will be investigating this, since it seems to be coming from outside of Violet City, judging from the direction the crystal is growing. Due to the negative effect that this is having on the environment, I would not be surprised if something similar was going on with the pokémon in the general area.

If you would like to accompany me, meet me at the Center. Make sure your team is well rested and prepared for battle.

... Only one?

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling that it isn't. This has to be a group effort. Something as widespread as this... it can't be done alone.

[action]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

Some kind of organization? But who would...

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

... I believe so. However, I don't even have the slightest idea what their motives may be.

[action]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

We won't find that out until we get to the source of all of this. [ and at that, she lengthens her strides. ]

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

That's true. And in the meantime, we can try and keep whatever this is at bay. [Rika plays a little bit of catch up now.]

[action]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

[ and seeing that, Asuka slows just slightly to match her pace. ] Count on it. I won't lie down quietly for this.

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I can't either. I will not let a peaceful world go to waste.

[action]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

[ oh Rika you only make her wonder more and more about you. But there's a time and place for that, and here and now isn't it-- especially when a cluster of Unown hurtles towards them. ]

... They don't waste time. [ releasing her Seel. ] Prima! Icy Wind!

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

No they don't! [She lets her Drifloon out of its pokéball.] Go! Guardian, Astonish them!

[action]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

You too, Fu! [ and there goes her Drifloon. ] Don't engage them directly if you can help it, we only need to get them to move!

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Alright! Do you have any attacks that cause some sort of paralysis or even sleep?

[action]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately not. The best I can do is try to make them flinch...

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

We can still work with that! Guardian, use Astonish! [Several Unown flinch.]

[action]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

Fu, help him! Prima, Headbutt!

[ FLINCHING UNOWN EVERYWHEEERE. ]

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Now's our chance! [She begins to RUN.]

[action]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

[ Prima doesn't need more than a nudge from Asuka to deliver another blast of Icy Wind to continue to hold the Unown at bay as they're doing that. ]

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[Her Drifloon also continues to use attacks on the Unown that cause them to flinch, allowing time for more running.] This seems to be working well!

[action]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

We'll just have to be careful not to burn out too quickly!

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

That's true--we can't run out of stamina before we even get there!

[action]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

All right-- let's try to clear a path.

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Alright! Guardian, use Astonish! [The Drifloon attacks, causing a small group of Unown to flinch.]

[action]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

... Hm.

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

...Yes?

[action]

[primaduelerina.livejournal.com]

I think I might-- Momo, try a Fake Tears, please.

[ The little Teddiursa stops running and promptly tears up with eyes like BAMBI'S. Complete with pathetic sniffles and whimpering-- and the Unown swerve around the group and start to hover around the cub. Hell, they'd probably make sympathetic clucking noises if they were able to. ]
