Pokemon - Species Screwery (IC)

[UnendingEmpire]

"Ease up ever so lightly," Giratina advised. "She cannot tell us anything at all if she loses her sanity completely. Then she'll become useless, and Ghetsis's other men are no doubt alert that we're after him now."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Same old Rin," Aki said, keeping her eyes shut to keep sand from getting in them. If Rin were still the same Rin, Aki could at least fight her like this for a time. Setting her hostage (more or less) down on the ground, the new sandstorm not helping her coughing and aching throat any, Aki's hands reached for the weapon over her back calmly and deliberately. This was how she fought; stay calm, don't lose to emotion (something Rin apparently couldn't do) and no matter what, always have a backup plan. If Rin hadn't unleashed her roar of fury, Aki would have gotten hit square in the face, probably hard enough to get sent straight into next week or further, if it didn't kill her. However, since Rin just had to do it, Aki knew at least where she was. It meant she could move her head just in time to get just clipped. It wasn't a light hit by any means, and Aki lost balance for a short moment, but she'd taken worse hits before.

"Tell me," she said, wanting an answer before bloodshed. "Why did you abandon Flit? He loved all six of us like his own flesh and blood, and this is how you're repaying him?" Unforgivable. Was it because Aki was his favorite? If that were it, then she should be their enemy, not humans. Everybody else so far refused to answer. Hopefully, Rin - always the first one sent out in double battles alongside Aki herself back in the day - would have at least an answer. Her ears were extra alert, not just for the answer, but for any sounds that could indicate Rin's location. Despite being a Pokemon associated with disasters, Aki and sandstorms never got along.

"You let them capture her!?" Now he was mad. Well, madder than usual. He was already mad, see. Insane; off his rocker; out of his flipping mind. Now he was angry on top of it. The Shadow Triad - Ghetsis's three most trusted men - and one of them was captured. By Zekrom, as the other two were telling him. Slamming the end of his cane into the floor hard enough to crack both the floor and the cane, Ghetsis shouted "Get her back, you fools!" Even if she was endlessly faithful to Ghetsis, she was still only human. Humans had a breaking point, which brought Ghetsis to the massive machine behind him, with countless wires hooked up to a central chamber. And inside that chamber, his most trusted companion: Hydreigon. "The machine requires four people at once to activate and operate whose handprints are registered into the data. Since there's only four of us here - three now, thanks to your inability to fight back - it takes all of us to work this." Even if he couldn't see their faces, the last two Triad members looked pretty upset.

He didn't give a shit. "Are you two still here? Go find and retrieve her!"

[Fish Of Oblivion]

As Aki moved out of the way, allowing herself to be just clipped by the punch, Rin growled in fury and jumped backwards.
The sandstorm she'd called up raged on around her furiously, howling and eating away at her enemy.


"Tell me. Why did you abandon Flit? He loved all six of us like his own flesh and blood, and this is how you're repaying him?"

Rin paused for a moment, remembering.
Flit had not been an unkind Trainer. But he had been too naive in taking the Pokemon that he had. Beasts such as the ones he saw fit to add to his team would only bow to humans when respect was built up over a long time between them.
As much as she had hated her time as a captive, Rin had not hated Flit. She had wished to escape, to return to her tribe, but she had served him nonetheless.
But when the chance had came, she had taken it. She had left with the four others, and had headed for her home once more. She didn't hate Flit, but she felt no allegiance to him for taking her from where she belonged.

But then Aki had come after them. She had killed the others. The others had left with varying degrees of dignity and peace, and she had killed them.
Rin would not forgive it. Aki would pay. And if Flit was accepting what she had done, Rin would show him just how easily a Tyranitar could crush the arrogant creatures that enslaved them.

"If he wants to know why, he can come find out himself," The Tyranitar growled towards Aki, her voice becoming terrifyingly demonic, raising her axe-sword high into the air as power built up within it, "Because there's absolutely no way I'm explaining myself to you!!!!!"

Rage flared.
Rin had fought alongside Aki. She'd considered her a friend, almost. A comrade she'd fought alongside. As with Flit, she had not hated her.
But that changed when she struck the others down. All that existed for the Absol now was burning, violent hatred.
Rage flared even more, erupting outwards from the axe-sword as she swung it down at the ground.

Rin had no qualms with using this attack. Dread was immune to it, and it would be more than able to bring her enemy down to size.
So, as the axe-sword struck the earth with all the might she could afford, it burst into a violent Earthquake.

[UnendingEmpire]

Earthquake. One of the attacks Aki hated most. Short of what her own species had, there wasn't any way to evade it, but even her Absol genes were weakened when she was transformed - something she and Flit agreed on to make communications easier. Her best option was to take the hit. It very much hurt, and even brought Aki down to her hands and knees, but she wasn't going to give up this fight until one of the two wasn't able to stand up any longer. She'd tried getting the others to come back peacefully - violence was always a last resort of hers - but if she couldn't persuade Rin with words, her only two options were to either bring Rin back unconscious or kill her. Aki truly didn't want to do that. "The only thing he wanted to know," Aki retorted, getting back up to her feet. "Was if the rest of you were okay."

Now it was her move. Gripping her weapon tightly, Aki continued "Do you really think I want to tell him what I did? I tried to bring them back without violence, but if I can't do that..." Now it was time for her attack. It was the best move - the only one she'd ever used - that could beat Rin, but there was no certain way to tell if it would do the job in one hit. If it didn't, the fight may have already been over; Rin was far stronger than Aki remembered. She'd have to get extremely close to make it work - dangerously so with Rin still having the full use of her vision in the sandstorm - but if any one move would work against Rin, Aki knew it. Rock Smash. With every ounce of strength she had, Aki swung the hilt of her sword straight at an aim for Rin's stomach. If nobody else, Aki wanted to bring Rin back alive. "You still never answered me, Rin."

A former partner of Rin's... Coughing the last of the sand out of her throat and the remainder of any pain from the kick she took, Dread got up to her feet. Even if Rin could handle this on her own, Dread refused to sit idly by and not be able to say she did anything when Rin won this fight, if she won. If she didn't, Dread would. So she started charging. Most people didn't think about charging a shadow ball, but it had massive benefits.

~Minewa

Awakening in a world that suddenly looked quite so different, from a new perspective having these things called clothes and looking quite human. It sure was odd and rather different, when I sat up and came around I started wondering where I was as I had been out for seemingly quite some time. I think my trainer left me in some place called Palet town. But this cell...I don't remember when they put me inside of it...I guess if I push that button it will open...yeah it did....but where is this....there is a lot of bad stuff around here...glass, blood....chaos....I think I want to go home....back to Sarah.....I must find a way....

Making her way through the rubble that was left of Professor oaks lab and the area around it, she were glad when she finally made it out from the dust that seemed to have settled quite much in the time, but it was still inside her lungs and she had to stop and couch several times. Her mind was still pretty numb and she could not really see if there was anyone else around there, all her senses was off and she barely managed to crawl away from there in once piece. Seeing some of the destruction in the distance as she walked out towards a sunny field. She mostly went by instinct to a place she used to love, A sunny place in the grass was always a lovely place for a Leafeon like herself. Even thought she really couldn't call herself that any longer it was still a place where she felt calm, it was soothing to her mind and soon her new instincts started to awake.

While getting aware of her current situation while sunshine and if felt really good towards the naked parts of her body. She realized that all these clothes she now wore just was in the way for her sunlight, and filled no purpose, So after only a short while she had taken those off and the sun would feel even better on the whole of her body instead of just the places the clothes did not cover. It was not like she felt cold or anything, it was what she was used too anyway. Now when she was human it seemed much easier to Sunbath her belly which she noticed when she leaned backwards sitting almost human like, She discovered that she could stretch out in new improved ways so the sun reached her everywhere. It Was truly great, this was the best part about this new experience for sure. To just lean back towards the rock and let the sun caress her body, she really wondered why her trainer did not do this, it was amassing. If the temperature allowed her she could really stay doing this forever.

As the sun got higher in the sky all the pokémon from the fields around and the forest would come out and play, and she would gladly join them just like any other day. They was not afraid of her new form, nor did they really comment on how it looked or why she did not wear those clothes humans did. it was just natural to not have them or have fur instead. But after sniffing her out they realized she was a Leafeon in a different shape as before and happily let her play along. And as they raced across the fields she would quickly forget about the event running on all her four, quickly getting soaked in her own sweat as it was a lot harder to play in her new form. But she still loved it as much as before, the feeling of the wind towards her skin was so soft and the wind in her longer fur or hair that it was called on her head, sure felt great as well. When they came to the small lake she happily was the first one to leap out into the water, and the slightly cooler water felt divine towards her warm and slightly tired body.

And when her new friends joined her, she would happily dog paddle around with them and play in the water until the water pokémon joined them, it was then the water fun would truly start. Together they would swim, dive and have a great time. Splash each other and after all playing, there would be time for competing, battles and swimming contests. Minewa herself got challenged to a battle by a Nuzleaf, and they wandered up to the field together before they got into position. There Minewa grinned slightly and happily before the two of them rushed off towards Battle....

She had already forgotten about the horrible events that seemed to have occurred around Palet due to her awakening, and her new friends was really not caring if a human town had gotten attacked and all, they just had dared to go out after it had gotten calm again to play. Battle for fun and have contests, And Minewa was just as forget full as any other playful Pokémon or child...

Seams from my experience from awakening I am Trapped in a Human form. My mind is not very clear and its dirt around everywhere, there seem to be a way out thought, from wherever this is...after they caught me i thought i were a goner...seems I was lucky, either that or really unlucky. Well better not hang around...new form or not this place reek human...

Coming out from under some fallen rubble Daemon had rather quickly discovered about his new form, making his way out from the lab that been filled with obstacles blood and dangerous stuff like glass and needles. He made the way on all his four, but after he got outside he had pulled himself up using a ladder as support. Being a trickster he basically knew how to balance on two legs already, it was what he usually did when he Begged for treats or tried to impress people or humans. Playing friendly roles to achieve his goals. Anything to make them drop their guard so he could steal from them and make off with their stuff.

Standing there by the ladder he managed to find the balance enough to walk, and with some trial and failure he managed to turn around and walk back again without problem. He figured after watching the humans move around that he could copy it, and he could. And after learning how to walk he started making his way down town... It looked quite messed up even thought palet was rather small and a quite spread out town. Even thought it was basically destroyed he could find an abandoned Fruit stand, looking around slightly before he snagged a few apples, he then started to head off towards any place he could consume them in peace.

Finding himself beside a wrecked house, in the darkness of the shadow right behind a Trash bin he started chewing on the apple. He sat down in the pose he seen humans take and found it rather comfortable, slowly turning the apple around in his palm as he slowly ate away on it. It did not take him too long to get used to having hands, after moving his fingers slightly he understood that it was basically the same as moving the toes one his fore paws. Only that these was much more useful, certainly something he could get used too in the future. Thinking about how it might affect his future he only grinned slightly as all ideas came to mind. He would enjoy this....So many possibilities suddenly had opened, now...he could enjoy messing with human too....

[The Monstah]

Reshiram glanced at her companion and smiled weakly. She had always appreciated the odd-pokemon's company. They weren't ones for speaking often, but simply understood each other on a level that made them close friends, if it could be called that. She sighed heavily and stood, dusting the ashes off her new gown. "You're right, I know that, but I can't help but regret not taking the machine myself when I woke up. If I'd just gone right then, he wouldn't have this army..." She dropped off and waved a hand in the air in dismissal.

"We can't just stay like this, can we?" She asked her companion, "We have to try. I know I will go mad if I have to stay like this forever." She added.

Yaz paused to look back at her small group, only to realize Kia had pushed ahead, Yami was gone and the ghost type was lingering behind. She growled in frustration at the act of being ditched and moved back to talk to Sam. "Odd pokemon Sam, you will come with me?" She asked, eyes narrowing in contemplation. She really needed company just to help her get home. Given the loss of her other partner, Sam would have to do. As odd as he was.

[RBYDark]

The Butterfree exhaled, dropping a few feet as Articuno departed. Right. Rest. Though his trail was fading, she could follow it back to the Seafoam Islands. Haltingly, she flew to the island, her wings dissipating and dropping her into the icy waters several meters from shore. She shrieked from the cold, flailing as she swam towards the shoreline. The tide pushed her onto the beach, and she crawled towards sturdier ground. Her outfit was far too thin and far too wet. She wrapped her arms around her chest before laying down, closing her eyes and hoping the sun would have her dried before she awoke again...

Sigilyph nodded curtly. "If you do not go mad-" A sudden tensing of its muscles, completely paralyzing it. It took a couple of seconds to move again. "-I certainly shall out of necessity." The involuntary demonstration of its difficulty adapting made any explanation superfluous. It glanced towards the mouth of the cave. Nothing. Just as quickly turned its gaze back to Reshiram. "Some attempt will be necessary. But how?" It was not the plotter. Such things had been left to Reshiram and, before her, their trainer. Before him, it had simply defended. Surely, she would have a better idea than it did.

--

Sam perked up as the redheaded invited him along - Yaz, was she? She'd mentioned the word earlier, he hadn't recognized it. And given that even the stranger in the tree had disappeared... Well, it was far better traveling with an audience of one than none, even if she didn't realize it. He nodded his approval, skipping to her. "They've given us the counterfeit fairly. But it matters not. Come, shall we go?" A bit messy, a bit disorganized, but it was the best answer he could give. He didn't wait for her answer, going ahead on the path and then stopping, looking back over his shoulder for Yaz to catch up.

[The Monstah]

Reshiram paused, thinking on her friend's words. She'd been close to N throughout their travels together, and she'd been wholeheartedly behind his ideas, but she hadn't much acted of her own accord. Lately, however, she was realizing how much she enjoyed thinking for herself. She fiddled with the ends of her hair and sighed. "whatever action we take, a confrontation with Giratina and his forces will be necessary. It's either complete undercover work, or a full out war." she stood and began to pace. "I hate war, especially an unnecessary one like this. I also am no sneak," she chuckled to herself and watched Sigilyph from the corner of her eye. Turning to it, she crossed her arms. "Do you know any special pokemon who could do the job?" she asked curiously. She knew that dark and ghost types were their best bet. She thought momentarily of a Purrloin, or even a Sneasel. They were good at things like that, right?

"Perhaps," she started, "We could start a small force of our own. Not an army, but a few particular individuals with particular assets." She smiled, pleased with her reasoning so far, but then sat back down and stared off at the vaulted ceiling in thought. "Let's get thinking, shall we?"

----

Yaz paused a beat, head tilted in confusion as she let the Duskull catch up. What was he babbling about now? Deciding that conversation with him may end up fruitless, the dark-type caught up to the Duskull and walked beside him. His slower pace frustrated her, but she fumed quietly until a commotion not far off caught her attention. A curious creature by nature, Yaz took a few bounding leaps ahead of her companion and landed in a tree. Before her something curious unfolded. Three hybrids faced off in the area below, though she didn't recognize any of their pokemon similarities as ones she was familiar with. She crouched low on the branch, to keep out of view, and watched. A sandstorm lessened her ability to see them clearly, but Yaz could tell what was going on. Two against one, which hardly seemed fair. Unable to help herself, for Yaz did so love to brawl on occasion, the illusion fox jumped from her perch, an illusion already set around her. She landed not far behind Aki, picking her side to help even things out, and stood to her 'full height' as a Krookodile. Unable to mix human and pokemon traits into one as of yet, she simply remained as a pokemon in her illusion.

She did not attack, merely waited for them to react before she attempted to join the battle.

~Minewa~

To her right and left was both a lush green field, Warm and soft to the touch as the grass was tall and there was many places to play and hide. But she was not here for the moment to hide at all, she was here to have a battle. In front of her stood her opponent, a Mighty looking Nuzleaf that had taken interest in her while they all were playing, perhaps if she lost he would ask for her to become his mate, or perhaps he did only want to test a human like pokémon's strength. The wind had picked up since before, and you could now feel it pretty well and hear it as it blew through the thick grass. But the sun still blazed warm and with that the two of them rushed off to battle. The Nuzleaf had full intention of winning and started of with a powerful and tricky Faint attack, And While having little experience with half dark types Minewa got pretty surprised when he easily tricked her before sending her flying with his attack that had connected hard.

She landed with a thud pretty badly as it was hard to land catlike on all fours in this Gijinka form. But she wouldn't give up so easily and after shaking off she leaped into the air, suddenly feeling more in form with herself as her instincts started awakening in a new form. She flew down with a arial ace and smacked the Nuzleaf back pretty badly with this rather super effective move. But the Nuzleaf did not let it get beaten that easily and after Minewa landed it sprung at her from behind and punched her with its Brick Break. Unable to get away in time and quite surprised at its determination she got hit hard and sent to the ground again.

She would feel all dizzy, and while struggling to get back up on all four she got hit by another one, The last one finished her off...and unable to fight any more she fainted. When she awoke again later her friends was treating her battle wounds and the Nuzleaf helped out, not having intended to give her such a beating but gotten lost in the moment he felt sorry for her and apologized. Minewa smiled kindly back to him and purred as she spoke "Its okay~, it were a nice battle...so what do you wish for me to do now when I lost?" she asked. But the Nuzleaf just shook its head and told her she was free to do as she wanted. And by that when she had recovered she Started to remember she had to look for her trainer, and asking her friends they pointed her towards the right direction and she set out, still without clothes...as she had completely forgot about them by now....

~~Daemon~~

After consuming the apple and made his mind up he set out, He wanted to get on with this new life of his as soon as possible, and during his way on the path he could see other Gijinkas like him ahead, it made him smirk slightly as he decided to follow them without a word as they led him to a place of battle. Watching with some curiosity as there was a large battle going on, he decided to just lean back and enjoy the show. It had nothing to do with him anyway, if these fools wanted to kill each other off it would just mean that he would have more of this world by himself, and he could always loot the bodies afterwards in case they left something of interest that the opponent did not take, even if they buried them with all their stuff he could still dig them up and rebury them.

Even thought there was a sandstorm he could make out figures beside the Gijinkas he seen before, But it did not matter right now as his intentions was to watch, he wondered how it would turn out but really hoped for blood bath, something interesting to watch before moving on was always nice. He started to wonder thought, how all others seemed to be so good at moving around without problems, looking like they been Gijinkas all their lives...
