Pokémon: There and Back Again

Stella Lumite

The park was a good idea. There were plenty of ways Kaebe could let out some of that bitey energy. There were some Meowth around, and some birds squabbling. She considered approaching one of the Meowth, but instead caught sight of that buffoon from the lab, battling a Riolu. "Well, that's quite the find you've found there."

Kaebe looked briefly at the battle but lost interest quickly. This world felt so strange to him, like something was out of place. That did, however, make exploring all the more exciting! He climbed around Stella and wandered away a bit, and Stella followed after him, half-watching the battle but more interested in what Kaebe was doing. He sniffed around and ran up to the Meowth, but they hissed and chased him away. The birds banded together against him, and the Rattata just fled.

Stella frowned. Was he trying to make friends? Not very successfully, he was kind of intimidating. She watched him run around a little more, and for distracted when she heard a PokeBall being thrown. She looked over to at the Riolu disappear into a PokeBall, and when she turned back around,

"Runt~"

The academic looked down to see Kaebe standing in front of her, his tail wagging slowly like a dog while he presented her with a Blipbug on his nose!

"Whu-" she took a step back, surprised, "Kaebe, have you found a friend? Hey there, little guy. Hope my Tyrunt didn't scare you... Say, you look smart. He eats raw meat, right? I don't have a lot of information on him, but that would be my guess."

Aiko Yume

Time: Morning
Location: Leaky Tap and Tavern
Interactions: Yuka @princess, Orias @Helo, Xavier @Omni5876
Mentions: Nabarra

They awoke and the sun was still low. Now this was strange. Nabarra had gone, as well... Hopefully, she had overcome the poison and was feeling better. Maybe it was best to avoid the place where her face had been revealed. At any rate, there was no dark elf here in their arms. They glared at the window before noting they were alone in the room. No matter.

Aiko rose slowly, reaching out with a bit of shadow to draw the curtains tighter. "Gnneh. Too early... No one's sleeping in today, though. Hmph... So many nightmares, too." It was because war had suddenly broke across the land, and here they were at one center of the conflict. The fighting wasn't here, but the occupation of the city has all but been declared. That declaration still weighed on the minds of Roshmi.

After freshening up a bit, Aiko decided it was time to rise and meet with their new companions. A male fox demon descended the stairs and found said companions, though a new addition have them pause. There was something about him that disagreed, but Aiko couldn't say what. They had to stifle a yawn as they approached, tail swishing softly as they did, "gmorning..." They fought to close their jaw against the yawn, but to no avail. "Gleh. Did our friend come down? She wasn't with me this morning." Their attention turned to Yuka and friend, "morning, stranger." Aiko glanced between Yuka and Xavier, succubus senses tingling, "had a good night?" They looked back at Yuka, "I see you didn't need my reward."

Granted, Yuka did have a certain... ambiance to her.

Pokémon: There and Back Again

The Hermit

Stella Lumite

Appearance:
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Personality: Stella is very interested in understanding the world around her. She habitually examines her surroundings and considers patterns, and this habit has led her to become very studious. Even as a little girl, she'd take a tape measure and make notes on the family pets and draw the plants in the garden. It's made her a bit odd, socially. She enjoys theater, and used to frequent the amphitheatre.
Hometown: Edda City
Background: The daughter of an affluent family, Stella has received education of the arts and sciences. She has already used this education to engage in her own Pokemon studies, though her subject matter has yet been restricted to pets and the Pokemon of visiting trainers. With a team of her own, she would be better able to persue her interests.

Pokémon: There and Back Again

Stella Lumite

She'd been anticipating this. The phone interview had really set in that things were happening, but it also gave her certain impressions. About the champion, specifically. She seemed like an easy-going woman who didn't like getting caught up on bureaucracy or formalities.

That was the nice way of putting it, at least. Having her sit around with nothing to do was a good way to get her to describe things more colorfully, but she'd anticipated this and brought a book. It was a book with technical illustrations and dense paragraphs, on Pokemon anatomy, and it was something she made do with when she didn't have live subjects to study.

Hmm. Somehow, that phrasing sat strangely. Most of her "subjects" were pets, perhaps that was why?

Eventually, they were rescued by someone that confirmed her suspicion. The champion was supposed to have met them here. So, "carefree" really did mean "unreliable"? Hmm... She could see the correlation, but there had to be outliers, right?

At any rate, their rescue whisked them away to the local professor's lab. Quite the grumpy guy, but there were multiple reasons she could think of for that. He must be very busy.

And when dealing with a champion like this, that was understandable! She couldn't imagine this woman lifting a pen. She was likely a nightmare in paperwork, and if you ever have a meeting, you know she'll only show up on time when someone else is late.

But... She's strong.

A sobering thought to glance over at the champion with, despite her earlier scorn. All interrupted by someone's grandstanding. And what an attitude it was! Enough to get him kicked out by a large dragon Pokemon. Well... Maybe that's a small dragon Pokemon, after all.

The others opened their pokeballs and found a surprising variety of Pokemon within. Not the usual starters she'd heard of, but it was an interesting change. Eevees were always interesting, and she'd never met a Litwic. She looked at the PokeBall she'd been given, turning it over for a moment before opening it.

"Tyyyrunt!"

A Tyrunt? She'd heard of them, but they were supposed to have lived eons ago. Her starter was something so amazing as an extinct pokemon?! She got a dinosaur! "What an impressive jaw you have! How's all that jaw fit in a PokeBall, ah? I'll call you... Kaebe." She went to pet the creature, but snatched her hand away when Kaebe turned his head. To play? Hmm... That was a big jaw to just play with. Could take her hand off. She wanted to see that Kaebe had enough control to... Not do that... Before he did that.

"Well, Kaebe, let's go to the park. We can play and get to know each other a little, maybe eat before we leave town. I think there are wild Pokemon in this park, too." She had to take some time to learn about his diet, as well. Her guess is... Raw meat.

The Tide Will Return (Space, Nation, Fantasy)

There are a few pirate clans scattered about, but nothing worthy of forming a nation out of. Anarchic space is going to be synonymous with dead space, ruled by Scourge or pirates.

The Tide Will Return (Space, Nation, Fantasy)

Whichever you like. There are existing nations you can create a character within, or you can write up your own. I'm not gonna say what to do like I'm recommending a lunch course to you. Taking over an NPC nation would be rather difficult, though I suppose not strictly impossible. As for building one, that's up to your writing, isn't it?

The Tide Will Return (Space, Nation, Fantasy)

Not really. Zark's race has some bender-type powers, but they rarely occur. Wide-spread or naturally occurring psychic powers would be rare and... I dunno. Maybe. You'd have to really sell me on why your character or race should have psychic powers.

LoZ: Age of Darkness (Closed & Moved to New Int Check)

Nah, I better not put anything more on my plate right now.

The Tide Will Return (Space, Nation, Fantasy)

Still breathin', people, just had some unfortunate disappearances. A few folks who expressed interest have just not been seen again, for example. I want another person or two, really. And maybe I should make some finalized sheets.
