I, the Demon King, Will Summon My Own Damned Heroes!

---

"N-no way... there are tons of them..." Digbie choked his words out, struggling to as his fear kept him shaking in his knees. He couldn't confidently fire off any shots, but he could count them. There were loads of them heading forward. How could the group even take on the onslaught of these barbaric buttcracks? It was madness!

Digbie fell to his knees and panicked for a moment, trying to think of anything he could do to help out even more than he already could. He wasn't a good goblin, not by a longshot. He was arguably the smartest in language, but that only got him so far. Going against his own kind... knowing them... the thought made Digbie shudder. Was this how his second life was going to end? Dying to a bunch of wackjob goblins?

It could be... but the greenskin rose to his knees.

What Mourningstar had said, about everyone being a general for the Demon King... maybe that wasn't just her tooting her horn. Maybe it was true. Maybe they were all selected to undertake this task for a reason. Maybe, just maybe, it was Digbie's destiny. Probably, actually.

The goblin turned towards the rest of the horde before ducking down into his ammo reservoir. Alright. He had a bold plan. Sure, it was really stupid for him to try, but he was willing to give it a shot. If it meant protecting those behind him, trying to unite under the same cause, it was worth an effort.

"Demon King," Digbie started, raising his hands in front of him. "I'm not sure this will even fall on your ears, but please, I beckon you. Give us all strength in our time of need here, where it matters most. We all come from the same world, chosen by you to lead the armies that you shall command." Digbie's prayer continued to extend in length as he rose up, looking immediately towards the horde with his hands raised. "I, Digbie Yondir, call upon you. Give us any hand you can in this battle. Even if its just one of us, give them the strength to remain alive. If you can hear me at all, in this dank cave in the rear-end of nowhere, please..."

Digbie pulled his arms in and clenched his fists, looking down at the ground as he finished. "I shall dig in your name, should you aid us here, and if you aid us in the future."

Then, with a sigh of hesitation, Digbie recalled the words that Oberon said just the previous day.

"Open character screen."

Tibulass shrugged off at Matija's worry about the scar that dotted along the right side of her head. "Meh, if it opens I can fix it. Sewing ain't that hard if I can program a robot to do it." Tib smiled softly at the Mecorian for a moment, giggling after the Mecorian spoke about how she needed to eat because she didn't last night. "You did, you just didn't eat food," joked the viking, following up with a soft punch to her leg.

"Ah shit, speaking of last night, I probably ruined Amy's bra and Grayson's briefs. Dunno how much detergent it'll take to get blood out of those." Tibulass thought for a moment before pushing at the air. "Psh... they'll be okay. Just gonna slip them back into their laundry later."

Tibulass brought Matija in for a hug, not letting go for a good moment, before she finally pulled away. "... thanks. It's been a while since I felt... well... genuine shit like that." Tib turned to the counter before putting on a pair of clothes she got last night. It was simple - a bra, a large hoodie (covering her ass), and a pair of leggings, but it would work until Tib could buy some real clothes for her since the jumpsuit was bloody. Shouldn't be too hard.

"Welp, when you're ready we can go." Tib looked towards the Mecorian and waited by the door, another soft smile decorating her face.

Skylar looked toward the sudden appearance of Alice and flinched, stepping back one step and holding his cane up in defense. When he heard the voice of Alice freaking out about this excursion, he sighed in relief. "Oh thank Ho-oh, you're here for Kalmia too I'm guessing." The kid offered his hand towards the voice in an attempt to help the girl up, and hopefully she would take the offer before Professor Kalmia let the two trainers in. Xatu, on the other hand, was cackling softly under his breath. Hah, she fell down.

When Kalmia showed up, Skylar smiled at her and spoke with quite a happy tone. "Hello, professor! It's so great to finally meet you in person!" The kid was practically bouncing with excitement, and he happily entered the lab with Xatu following behind him in tow. Xatu was less excited, but he was visibly happy for his pal. He was even happier when the moment came for him to receive the Pokedex.

Looking at the incredibly blurry silver device was great, and it got even better when Skylar brought it up to about three inches away from his face, where he could see the actual details of the device (though they were still\ decently blurry) and all of it's luster and greatness. Then he got the manual for it in braille and that was just icing on the cake for him. Professor Oak was really just a good guy, huh. Professor Kalmia was just as great too, if not a little better because she was here right now. Skylar tucked the journal in his bag before preparing for the moment of truth.

'Alright. These two Pokéballs contain your Pokémon. The left is for Skylar, the right is for Alice. Go ahead. Let them out and say hi~'

THIS WAS HIS MO-MENT~

Skylar stepped forward, carefully using his cane to poke around the lab floor to make sure he was walking in the right direction before he saw the little red ball just barely on the table in front of him. Without any hesitation, he grabbed the ball in his free hand and let out his first Pokemon. Both him and Xatu intently watched as Skylar's first Pokemon popped out and looked at him.

Within about two seconds of looking at him, the bird Pokemon flew right up to Skylar's head and immediately plopped itself down, ruffling up Skylar's hair and planting itself there.

"Wingull?"

"Oh Ho-oh... oh my... it's a Wingull?! Heck yeah!" Skylar fist pumped in the air before bringing his hand to the top of Wingull's little round birdy body, scratching it's back gently before looking back towards Kalmia. "Thank you so much, Professor!"

Xatu nodded in approval before he gave an assuring "Xa."

"I think I'll call you... hm..." Skylar raised the Pokedex in his hand before putting one side of his cane on his belt loop, allowing it to stay there for the moment as he gave his new friend a nickname. Let's see... what would be a good nickname for this Wingull.

Skylar calmly typed in what he thought was a good nickname before speaking it out loud. "Seabreeze, with Sea for short. How's that for a name, bud?"

"Gull!" Seems like he approves of the name.

Seabreeze the Wingull

Seabreeze

Species: Wingull (♂)
Type: Water/Flying
Personality: Seabreeze is a Gentle natured Wingull, and he is fond of sitting on the head of his trainer. He seems to know that his trainer needs help with sight, and is more than happy to act as a periscoping pair of eyes for Skylar. Plus, the increased height he has allows him to see far more than he could when he was on the ground, and he doesn't have to work as hard to sit on Skylar's head.
Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:
- Q - Seabreeze is a bit sporadic with his sight, and is easily distracted.
- A - He wants to mean something in any sense, whether many fear him and his trainer's names, or if he's loved by many. He might like a contest...
Level: 5
Moves: Growl, Water Gun, Supersonic
Ability: Keen Eye. Prevents loss of accuracy. Has good eyesight and will be able to see no matter what.
Held Item: None.

Skylar looked at his companions before Eryn spoke up and introduced herself and her Charmander. When she brought up how her Charmander was out-typed and understandably frustrated at that, Skylar chuckled. "Me too, bud." Then she went on to toot Dei's horn about him being super cool (which he kind of was, but Seabreeze was nothing to scoff at) but she also tooted Xatu's horn, which caused the large bird to take on a proud pose with his face reddening with pride. "Heh, yeah, he's pretty great. While he might be my dad's Pokemon, he helps me see what I can't see. Speaking of that..." Skylar looked to Xatu and made a rectangle with his fingers. Within an instant, Xatu's eyes flashed white and a mental image of Skylar and Seabreeze was put in the trainer's head.

That was a moment that would last a lifetime.

Skylar smiled from ear-to-ear again as he saw it in his mind. "E-everytime you do the image thing I get a warm fuzzy feeling. Thank you, Xatu."

The larger bird simply nodded as Seabreeze looked at him and gave a birdy smile. Surprisingly, despite Skylar and Seabreeze just meeting, the two seemed to already have a good connection with each other. Maybe it was because Skylar had an affinity for birds, or maybe it was just luck. Either way, Seabreeze patted the side of Skylar's head with his wing before finding a more comfortable position on Skylar's head and staying there.

"Is it comfortable up there, Sea?" Skylar asked, his eyes barely poking over his sunglasses as he posed the question.

"Wingull!"

Tibulass put down a spare set of clothes (conveniently found in a store next to the grocer on Helios) on the bathroom counter before allowing herself to be pulled into the shower. Hushedly, the viking spoke, with her voice sounding through the shower with multiple echoes following behind it. "Eh, I'm not as hungover, but I think I'm a bit more bruised." Without even looking at herself, Tibulass pointed directly to her thigh, specifically one of the blood trails on it. "I still had tons of fun. I just hope I wasn't as rusty as I thought."

After a few minutes, the larger woman stepped out of the shower and toweled off, wrapping it around her tightly before she grabbed another one for her hair. "If you're still feeling like shit, I can take something to your room to eat for breakfast. It'll give you some time to recover." The girl fumbled around with the towel for a few moments before sighing. "Goddammit. I can't figure out how to do this part."

"... nngh..."

What a night that was. Tibulass woke up with a groan, still tired despite definitely falling asleep last night. Glancing over at the bedside table, which was just a shelf next to the bed, the bottle of the infamous God's Bile was opened, and sadly it was about half-empty. That was depressing, though it did raise the question of how much the girl drank last night. She certainly didn't feel entirely good, but she did feel tingly all over. Looking over at her side was none other than Matija, halfway covered in a sheet. She clearly didn't care to be covered last night. Speaking of those sheets... they were red in a few places?! What the hell?!

Panicking a bit, Tib looked down at her legs before noticing the many bite marks along her thighs. A few of them had dried blood trailing away from them. That's probably what caused the sheets to redden. Ah well, they could be cleaned. Both of the girls had a fair amount of evidence on their body of the night before, ranging from bites to hickeys, but nothing permanent could have occurred. Though... there was one spot that didn't look so good on Tib's chest, next to her shoulder. That, right there, was a prime example of a good time.

Sniffing the air, Tibulass patted the girl beside her while running a hand through her hair. "Hey girlie, wake up," the viking said before shaking her gently. "We need to go shower, we smell like sweat and liquor. Let's go steal Stryker's big ass shower, eh?"

That was a one-time thing. Should've brought that up before.

Xatu won't fly Skylar without the move Fly from here out. He flew Skylar to the lab as a way for him to actually arrive there and get his starter and dex.

Now that I think about it, maybe Xatu will leave after starters are obtained...

Skylar Brighton

Skylar Brighton

"Comin' in for the ride!"

Appearance: The image above is a quick sketch of his head and shoulders, not picturing the dirty blonde color his hair is. Along with that, he typically wears a black tank top with a pair of blue ribbed capri pants. He also wears sunglasses, never taking the things off, even if he's inside or sleeping.

Age: 14 years old

Gender: Male

Personality: Skylar, for starters, is blind. He is well aware of this, but he doesn't really see it as a negative. It's actually what drives him to go on this adventure. He's rather cautious and shy, but he comes out of his shell as long as he's with a helpful hand and he's proud to be who he is. Aside from that, he's quite cheery and positive, and tries his hardest to be a joy around everyone.

He knows he's not the best, but that doesn't bother him. Heck, if he was to be the best, he wouldn't think much of it.

"I can't help but be myself, as weird as I am!"

Hometown: Freecape Town.

Background:
Skylar was raised in Freecape Town by his father, a researcher specializing in his passion of discussing and studying the Flying Type. He never really met his mother, but he heard that she was quite the woman indeed. Rumor has it she's a gym leader in a far away region (though she favored types other than flying)! That's... well... that's besides the point. What we all want to know is why a kid that's blind is traveling around the region.

Long story short, Skylar's dad thought it'd be a good idea to build character for his son.

Skylar, being born with blindness, spent a lot of time under the supervision of his dad's many flying types, but none really showed Skylar a lot of attention other than his dad's Xatu. That Xatu was a guardian of Skylar to say the least. From showing Skylar images of the sunsets through its psychic powers to saving the boy from making a few mistakes, Xatu is the watchful eye of protection that keeps Skylar out of harms way.

When Skylar turned 10, the normal time for a kid in Kanto to go off on their own journey, his dad opted for Skylar to wait a few more years before he was old enough. He had a few ideas in his head that he wanted to work out a bit. For the time being, Skylar decided to wait, and he often took to the backyard with Xatu and acted like he was a real trainer, using the bushes of his house as a way to train. Of course, it didn't work out well for Skylar's dad, because he often had to replace the bushes, but if his son was happy, he was too.

When Skylar's 14th birthday happened, though, things were different. He didn't get the present he was asking for, he didn't get a party, he didn't get anything. What he did get, though, was his father's approval to go on his journey. That alone was enough to make Skylar jump for joy. Of course, his dad wasn't going to let him go alone, and delegated Xatu to watching over Skylar as he went on his own journey. Xatu happily agreed, and after preparations were made to leave home, Skylar grabbed his backpack, hugged his dad goodbye, and hitched a ride on Xatu to go to Pureplain to get his starter.

"I hope my starter is a fluffy bird!"

Kind of Pokémon you like: Pokemon that can fly. He adores birds especially.

"I guess my dad rubbed off on me, heh..."

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:
Quirks - Skylar is, asforementioned, blind.
Talents - Skylar's other senses are improved, but he notably has impressive hearing ability. You need to watch what you say around him.
Aspirations - Currently, Skylar doesn't really care about taking on a Pokemon League or contests. He's in this adventure for the experience. Though, he is on the hunt to meet and befriend all the flying type Pokemon he can, from the smallest of Combees to the mighty legend of Ho-oh. He also wouldn't mind becoming the strongest Flying Type Trainer in the region.
Other - Skylar travels with his father's Xatu. Xatu expresses no desire to battle at all, and frequently watches for the safety of Skylar. Some would say that Xatu is basically Skylar's father figure.

Items: 1x Potion.

Pokédollars: 500p.

Paradise the Tropius

Paradise



Species: Tropius (♀)
Type: Grass / Flying
Personality: Paradise is an overprotective banana-bearded behemoth with a Calm-Natured exterior.

Some could argue she's kind of like Mother Nature, though maybe she'll live up to that title better within time.
Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:
- Q - The bounty of fruit on her neck is actually surprisingly large. It couldn't feed a family of four for four fortnights, but it's nothing to scoff at.

Mac

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:
- T - Mac, like the Torchic Pokedex entry, is really warm and cuddly. It might be a little moreso with what he is, but it's evident that he's quite the heating pad.
- O - Mac LOVES to fight. There's no details needed, he just likes to fight.

Pretzel the Archen

Pretzlcoatl

Personality: Quirky natured, but certainly a playful one, Pretzel is a curious bugger that wants to see the world and everything new about it. That being said, the buddy is also very keen on tasting the world.
Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:
- Q - He is hungry, ALL the time. He will try to eat anything that is even vaguely edible, and most often things that aren’t.
Level: 15
Moves: Quick Attack, Leer, Wing Attack, Rock Throw
Ability: Defeatist - Attack and Special Attack scale with remaining health, higher the more health left.

Skylar's Box List

---

Xatu, Accompanying Seeing-Eye-Bird

Xatu
Appearance:


Gender: Male

Type: Psychic / Flying

Personality: The Xatu that watches over Skylar is parental and affectionate, comforting Skylar when he needs it and keeping Skylar out of harms way. Despite this, he really doesn't like to battle, and would much rather stay out of those if he has to. He's not afraid to do it if it keep Skylar safe, but if it's something like a trainer battle, he's gonna stay out of it 99% of the time.

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:
Quirks - Tends to sleep while standing for no explicable reason.
Talents - This Xatu can psychically implant images into the minds of others, allowing them to see from his perspective. These events have to be witnessed in the present time for it to work.
Aspirations - Keep Skylar safe until he's ready to be on his own.
Other - This is not Skylar's starter Pokemon. It's more like his guardian.
Other 2 - (If this Xatu battles under Skylar against trainers unless it actually becomes Skylar's Pokemon, the GMs have every right to kick me out.)

Level: 35

Moves: Confuse Ray / Teleport / Calm Mind / Air Slash

Ability: Synchronize - Passes poison, paralyze, or burn to the Pokémon that inflicted it.

Held Item: Nothing of importance.

The air was cool and brisk against Skylar's face as Xatu carried the two through the jet-stream of air. Their destination, Pureplain City, was just barely in view, though the two were approaching it rather quickly, to the onlooker. Skylar's hand was placed on his sunglasses, keeping the pair from flying off his face and towards the ground below. They were his only pair, and he couldn't afford to lose them! It was a good amount of money that he didn't have to replace them!

"Xatu." The psychic bird chirped in monotonous excitement. They were close, he could see it with his mighty bird eyes.

"We're almost there? Well, bring us down then, buddy!" Skylar held on to his feathered friend as the two started to fly down towards the world once more, flying straight towards the street in front of the lab, and the wind resistance was enough to cause Skylar to shake with fear. They were just moving at such an incredible speed going down that it gave the kid anxiety. Of course, the excitement of a new adventure was also causing the kid to shake. Either way, he had a grin from ear to ear as the duo landed on the ground.

"Ahhh, I never get tired of the feel of wind on my face!" Skylar fist pumped as he swung his backpack around to his front, digging inside it to find his cane. When you're legally blind, carrying one around is a necessity, even if you have someone like Xatu watching out for you. "This is Pureplain City's Pokemon Laboratory, eh? Seems like a giant grey wall."

Xatu simply grabbed Skylar's head with his wing and spun him around to the other wall.

"... oh." Skylar looked up at his buddy before laughing. "20/320 strikes again! Thanks Xatu!"

"Tu," the bird pokemon called as it gave a reassuring nod. It then turned to face the lab with Skylar, who was still excited about it. With a breath of hesitation, he stepped forward, tapping the area in front of him with his cane until he arrived at the door. He knocked twice on the front door before he stood there, eagerly bouncing up and down. He looked at Xatu again. "Whaddya think Xatu? Think my first Pokemon will be cool? Dad said it was a surprise. Do you have any ideas?"

"Xatu."

"Whaaa? No way! My own Xatu? Why do I need another Xatu when I have you watching over me?!"
