Trevor Smithee

Medburn Guild

@Evanist, @AbysmalDemon

From what Trevor overheard, some more of the pokemon were made aware of his, and a couple others' weirdness, even in his best efforts to hide said weirdness. Trevor nodded when the togepi acknowledged that she wasn't the only weird one there, and he added "M-maybe we should head inside... I mean... this the guild everyone's talking about, r-right?" as he fluttered into the building, possibly accidentally leaving the egg pokemon behind. The inside seemed... oddly refreshing, despite the presence of a certain pink pokemon that explained that the ralts was a 'special case' for... some reason that Trevor wasn't there to hear, unfortunately. Wait... if I remember correctly... the ralts, like me, didn't know his moves, and thought that this place could help him... maybe they can help me, too! Trevor thought as he landed next to the small psychic type. He then realized that he never actually introduced himself to, well, anyone, so Trevor tried his hand at that, saying "So... um... looks like I m-might be seeing more of you, since we're here for the same r-reason... uh... my name's Trevor, and I'm, er..." Trevor then checked to make sure the other pokemon were out of earshot, unaware of the fact that the ralts gave away where he was from, earlier, and he added "I'm from out of town, somewhere," obviously, this part was false, and Trevor was a HORRIBLE liar, to boot, but after his probably botched introduction, he held out his right wing, as if it were a hand, only just realizing that this world might not even recognize what a handshake IS.

As he stood there, in that weird guild place, he wondered about the pink pokemon, and he was a little worried about them being a fairy type until he remembered that chansey and clefairy shared that color scheme, but were normal types, instead... for all Trevor knew, no pokemon changed their type after generation three... and it might be best that he doesn't figure out what actually happened, at least, for now. Trevor, despite his pokemon knowledge, and despite reading that book, had absolutely NO idea that he was about to literally shake hands with the very thing he fears. Why he fears fairies? Well, that's a long, and stupid story for another day.

Ember

Outside of Medburn Guild

@Shiny Keldeo

Ember, despite his lack of an inside voice, or any social skills, somehow managed to get her to join him, and he was more than happy to finally have an underling. His new underling asked what she would be helping with, and Ember said "Traps, of course! Marvelous, wondrous traps! Traps... and revenge! Eh, but, helping with the second part is optional on the first day," Ember barked that out in his usual loud, somewhat annoying voice, and then he saw a tropius get himself caught in Ember's trap... only to disarm it almost immediately afterwards. NO! My last possible glimmer of hope! That oaf! Now I'll have to make an entirely NEW trap for that blasted horse! Ember thought as the tropius wondered who might have made that kind of trap. Ember wasn't about to give anything away, and instead instructed Eira "Well, that plan was a bust. Follow me! Back to my workshop, if you still wish to help!" and with that, he took off to some back alleyway that he stored a few makeshift tools in, whether she was going to follow him or not. Of course, once he got there, it was only right that he should wait for his new teammate, er, underling, right? So, he waited, thinking of the new possibilities... an ice-based pit trap where there's just a thin sheet of ice that collapses under any sort of weight, and some dirt to cover the ice up, or perhaps a more simple, and brutal falling rock trap, which would involve a net, some boulders, and a pressure plate that either shot fire at the net, or just cut it.

Ember's little mind was racing at those thoughts, and he really wanted to try them out, so he started planning out the steps he'd need to take in order to make these traps, one step involved him learning 'dig', so it would be easier for him to make holes, not caring whether or not he could actually LEARN the move, just caring that it would help him in his new plans if he could learn it. He was so lost in thought that he almost forgot whether or not Eira even showed up, and probably even accidentally ignored her if she did.

Should I post, or not?

Final Fantasy: The Dark Crystal

Well, I'm still ready to post if this ever gets dug up.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeons - Stargate [ALWAYS ACCEPTING!]

More or less, but it supposedly also would do grass-type damage to anyone it snares due to thorns.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeons - Stargate [ALWAYS ACCEPTING!]

Can't it be both things?

Table of Monsters

As we continued on, the princess continued her griping, and Dorisma joined in for a short time, apparently, Dorisma was more than ready to crack open a few zombified skulls, and the princess wanted some 'action'... whatever that meant, however, Trey and Deravan seemed pleased with my idea, and were telling me that I made the right choice to just run, and avoid unnecessary fighting. For some reason, Miles was completely neutral on the subject, and we continued through the forest, just a bit too close to the main road for my liking, and, just as well, we ended up coming across what appeared to be a group of human traders, with their wagon broken, and missing a wheel... they didn't spot us yet, and to be honest, I didn't really feel like attacking traders. I... think I remember... I was supposed to try to bring some sort of peace between monsters and humans... ugh, I can't believe what I did back there... all that fire... at least we got rid of a couple of human archers after that, but I... I must have just been in a horrible mood. I thought as I tried to sneak past the group, which seemed incredibly easy. Odd that they'd be so easy to sneak past, given that at least one of them seemed to be on the lookout for anything or anyone who seemed suspicious. As I was sneaking, I ended up almost tripping over a wooden wheel, one that seemed to match the three wheels that the broken wagon had, but, considering my group, I just decided to ignore it, and not tell anyone else about it, not even Deravan. I'm sure they'll find it on their own... if Dorisma catches wind that we might be able to steal a fixed wagon from these guys, she'll want to start a fight... in fact, I think she's just looking for ANY reason to start a fight with them... I think as I continue on, hopefully getting out of their field of view soon enough.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

[Anthony]

I was reeling after those attacks, and I ended up answering Josh with a simple "Huh, wha?" and after that, Kamina broke up the group, and Josh hit the already somehow beat-up looking arcanine with a hydro pump, and M was putting on some sort of damaging light show that hit every enemy except for the graveler, who was immune to the attack. I was trying to get a hold on the situation, and then I heard the arcanine shout "BARRY! Why did you betray, Barry? Come back here, and let's rob the bank like old times!" no... it couldn't be HIM, could it? After that, the arcanine tried to use extremespeed on Josh, but I somehow managed to get in the way, and use counter to send that back at the arcanine... also sending him to the ice wall. The graveler started rolling away, and then it decided to just use that as an attack, and aimed its rollout attack right towards Kamina. I had no way of getting there in time, so I had to just hope he could take the hit. The goodra looked around the group, but it couldn't find who it was looking for, so it just ended up using Power Whip on Reshiram... bad idea. Reshiram sent the thing flying with a dragon pulse, after that... and I never saw that goodra, again. "Barry... have you ever met Mike? You should meet Mike, he's a cool guy, heheh... and he's an ICE type, too..." the arcanine just sort of randomly said to Josh, apparently thinking that he was this 'Barry' he was talking about... after that, he added "Oh, come on, Mike, my mom's not that fat," while talking... to the ice wall. Somehow, this arcanine was picking better moves and targets than the goodra, who just got sent flying... and THAT was a normal conversation for that arcanine.

[Spruce]

Everyone seemed to be amazed at how this place looked, and I couldn't blame them... if only these guys knew what the word 'lighting' meant. I then heard Dexter introduce himself, and I introduced myself "I'm Spruce Birch... yes, that famous explorer Vine Birch is my brother... sorry, I thought that would stop others from asking that question," unfortunately, I couldn't see too far ahead of me, save for a single, barely lit candle in the middle of the room. I tried to make something out of the darkness, and I saw two tiny red eyes staring back at me. Soon after that, I heard the unknown pokemon growl, and then the thing used dark pulse on me, dealing some damage. "Okay, we're not alone here, folks, let's try to find our enemies... anyone got a light?" I said to the rest of the group, which caused Nina to nudge Dexter. I couldn't wait too long, so I decided that my best bet was to use void whip at... whatever just hit me, but, since I couldn't see their body, they easily moved out of the way... and a couple more pairs of eyes appeared. "So... did I overhear something about one of you working here until recently? First off... how? Second off... WHY!?" I ended up saying. This place didn't look like it would make a good workplace, given that it's completely dark, and apparently the other employees were more than happy to just scare you and attack you without even asking who you are.

[Nina]

As soon as the trap door closed, the place went dark, and we headed through a short hallway to the first room, which seemed to have a very dimly lit candle on a metal table as its only light source. Spruce complained about the lighting conditions, him being a grass type, he was probably used to being out in the sun, by now, and as he searched the edge of our vision, a couple oddly small red eyes, obviously belonging to an at least somewhat powerful pokemon appeared. The pokemon quickly responded to Spruce's presence by blasting him with a dark move. Once I heard him ask "... anyone got a light?" I nudged Dexter, and whispered "That's your cue," to him. I then noticed a couple more pokemon seemingly appear from the nothingness, and Spruce tried to attack something he couldn't see to... obvious effect. I then remembered that I had a means of lighting this place up, at least for a bit, and I used Flash Tackle on the pokemon that attacked Spruce, revealing it to be a Hydreigon, and lighting the place up, for a bit. I'm not sure what pokemon the others saw, but I only had time to see that pokemon... who took a decent amount of damage from my attack, and then tried to grab me with its weird head hands. Thankfully, I managed to get out of that situation, and I ran back to the light source... the other two pokemon apparently laughed at that, for... some reason.

[Bonnie]

The hawlucha was knocked out, and the stalactite was broken, leaving just the medicham, and a smooth ceiling. Eralion had the idea to get in front of the psychic type, and the medicham laughed as it used high jump kick on him. I then thought about what moves MIGHT work on this thing... and Dizzy Punch seemed like the obvious answer at this point. I tried to head towards the enemy pokemon, but it was kind of in the middle of a move, so I just tried my best to hit it while it was in the air... unfortunately, I missed, and the move kept heading towards Eralion, who looked like he braced himself for the attack... for some reason. Why would he be smiling? That attack's going to HURT, a LOT, too... I mean, it's still super effective against him, right? Is he just hoping he'll miss? I thought as I just stood there, kind of useless at this point, since hitting a moving target obviously wasn't going to happen. I then remembered something, and said "You did a good job, Tini. That bad guy won't hurt anyone anymore," I praised, since it was true, he did do a good job at knocking out that hawlucha.

Trevor Smithee

Kangaskhan's Tavern -> Medburn Guild

@Shiny Keldeo, @AbysmalDemon

The kangaskhan, apparently named Kelly, and the strange pokemon, apparently named Drip had a short conversation involving a ralts that was here, earlier, and apparently had no money to his name. Trevor managed to stop himself from blurting out that he was in the same situation, as the conversation seemed to imply that others might be looking for him... and others like him. Instead, he answered Drip's question with "W-well, I'm always flying... ever since I learned h-...er... I mean... I've always flown, so I didn't really feel the earthquake," He blew it. He knew that at the very least, Kelly and Drip knew that he wasn't quite a normal pokemon, but it wasn't them that he was worried about, it was anyone else. Pokemon that they'd tell, pokemon that might be listening in, and pokemon that might hear it later from other pokemon that they've told. During his paranoid thoughts, he overheard a third pokemon saying that his 'runs' were over, and he was returning to the guild... which also seemed to be where the ralts, who took off sometime earlier in the conversation, was heading. Trevor thought it might be a good idea to head there, despite his earlier bias against it. He figured he could learn more about this place, and about himself... as of now, he had no idea what he was capable of, a problem that the ralts apparently shared.

It took Trevor a while to get enough courage to speak, and that wasn't helped by the fact that he could SWEAR he was being watched by someone, but, eventually, he stuttered "So, um... you too, huh? A-and... do you think the guild could h-help us? Sorry, I've always been... er... bad at talking," This was just about when he noticed the screaming vulpix, who decided to run away shortly after, the odd monkey pokemon, and the togepi... many of whom probably just heard that. Trevor managed to stop himself from having a panic attack over the fact that more pokemon just heard him say that, and he just sort of fluttered around after that, waiting for his answer... of course, while he was doing that, he noticed a weird bunch of vines set up near the guild's entrance. Was that supposed to be a trap? Well, it wasn't going to work on him, at least.

Ember

Outside Medburn Guild

@Shiny Keldeo

Apparently, Ember's shouting was too effective, and the ice type started leaving. At first he was happy to have some peace and quiet, but then he had another idea Hmm... maybe having an underling would actually DOUBLE my chances of getting revenge... at the very least, she could help me make all new traps! and with that thought, Ember dashed off using quick attack to get in front of the amaura, and he explained "Wait! Wait... I've been too hasty. Perhaps you COULD help me, and perhaps I could help YOU with something, sometime in the future! Does that sound good to you!?" of course, even when he was just calmly talking to someone, it still sounded like he was shouting, somehow, even when Ember was out of breath, he still shouted, at full volume, whenever he needed to talk to someone. Too bad he wasn't a different pokemon, else he could have harnessed and weaponized that power into a 'hyper voice' attack, or something similar, but as it stands, Ember was just an 'ordinary' vulpix who was out of breath from that quick attack, and who had a knack for making traps. He didn't even care when he saw even more pokemon crowd the already crowded area around the guild, just so long as none of them touched his trap... except for ONE pokemon, anyways.

Ember then heard a rumor from some pokemon that the four swords were approaching Medburn... wait... approaching? Wasn't the blue one supposed to be in the guild, right now? Where did he go wrong in his calculations? Surely that was their daily routine, as observed by Ember over the course of five days. That, of course, meant that his trap was going to be USELESS! All it was going to catch now, was some random pokemon, or worse, himself... again. Ember was stunned by this information, and he just stood there, almost unaware of what the amaura might have said in the meantime. It could have been worse, he could have used the electric trap, again, and at least as a fire type, it would be easy for him to get out of a vine trap, but this was supposed to be the one. This was supposed to finally be his time to shine, and that horse just HAD to change up his routine on the day that he finally put his plans into action.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeons - Stargate [ALWAYS ACCEPTING!]

Normally, I'd nitpick that Ember's yelling at the other pokemon... but for Ember, yelling IS talking, so you're fine, lol.

Also, I freaking LOVE how wrong Ember was about Keldeo's daily routine, lol.

Trevor Smithee

Medburn Library -> Kangaskhan's Tavern

The moment Trevor flipped to that page, the moment he saw that horrible new type, he started screeching, and screaming as if someone was actually trying to hurt him. He caused enough of a scene to get thrown out of the library, but the only thing on his mind, right now was I have to find a safe place... a place that THEY won't go. he looked around the area, checking each building to see if it MIGHT be a place that fairies would hate until, eventually, he came across
'Kangaskhan's Tavern'... while he didn't like the idea of getting drunk, he figured none of the fairy types would like the idea either, so he glided in.

However, the first thing he heard was the owner saying "If you have a room you can stay in it, if not everyone please leave. Carefully." Trevor wanted to argue with her, but he decided against it, simply flying out of the place, and already needing another place to stay away from fairy types. I didn't see a single one in there, too... at least, I don't THINK there were any... he thought as he just sort of stayed near the tavern, unsure of how to proceed, next. Unsure of where he would go, next... sure, there was a guild, but since they tended to let anyone join those, Trevor figured there would be at least one fairy type. Maybe the fairies at the guild won't hurt me? N-no... they're probably just as bad as the rest of them... and they have the perfect cover to do that under, too. he thought as he just stood on the sign of the tavern. That's where he heard a strange seal-like water type pokemon shout "Miss Khangaskan, it's Drip from the Guild. Is everyone alright in here?" and head into the place. Trevor flew after her, and he informed her "Uhh... miss Kangaskhan told everyone to leave... um, she said that if you had a room, you could stay in there, but everyone else had to leave... apparently there was an earthquake, or something, judging by everyone's reactions and... um... how the tables looked," he wasn't too sure about talking to this pokemon, but if she was a part of the guild, she couldn't be all bad... right? Trevor instantly remembered what he thought about earlier, and shivered, slightly at the thought that this might be a fairy type.

Ember

His home (Medburn Outskirts) -> Medburn guild

This was it! Months of planning, a week of building, and a few days of tracking where that horse tended to go had all culminated into this, his finest plan, but, as usual, Ember had to find a way to sneak past his mother. His father wouldn't be as much of an issue, as he didn't usually get in Ember's away, anyways. Ember put the 'vine trap' into his bag, and looked out of a crack in his bedroom door... it seemed like his mother was busy cooking something, and his father was talking to a guild member for some reason. Perfect! Now all I'll have to do is not make a sound! Ember thought as he opened the door, and slowly and carefully made his way out. As soon as he was far enough away from home, he pulled out his map, and looked up at the sun for an approximate time. Eh... about noon... that horse SHOULD be at or around the guild by now Ember thought to himself. Whether or not he was correct, he made his way there, trying to stay away from a few specific pokemon who would rat him out if they saw him out of his house while he was supposed to be grounded.

Ember made it there, just fine, and he planted the trap right at the entrance. He... didn't find Kel anywhere around there, however, he did find SOMEONE of importance. An amaura by the name of Eira who was following him around for a while. "YOU! What do you want from me? Why do you keep showing up where I plant my traps!?" Ember shouted, completely forgetting the 'stay hidden' rule of the beginner's guide to trap-making, as soon as he saw the familiar pokemon. He was trying to avoid the ice type ever since summer started, but, apparently he was doing a very poor job, since she was right in front of him, and from the look of things, she got here first. While Ember would normally be shouting up a storm, by now, he decided to let the other pokemon speak, and let her tell him why she's been following him around like this. She couldn't possibly be in love with him, could she? No... that's not possible, as Ember reassured himself.
