Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

So, since I've posted a while ago...
@Ridlins, @Gavin, @Kabling, and @Lavulman can all post here.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

It's just as I remember! That was the day I realized that burning down a good chunk of the rp's world (in an application, no less!) isn't a good idea. I think I was just happy to have gotten more than two paragraphs written down for it.

I've actually been meaning to say this, but thanks for being patient with me back then. Especially on MCF when I was first joining - I had no idea what I was doing when trying to make an app or write a post longer than two sentences. That said, I still have a lot of room to improve, so if anyone has any writing/character building/general rp advice for me, I'd be happy to hear it.

@Gavin

NO problem, man, oh, and just to let you know, you're doing great, right now.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

Gavin's 'Gavin' the Shinx

Name: Gavin
Species: Shinx
Gender: Male
Level: 8
Moves:
Leer
Tackle
Ice Fang
Bio: Gavin was born in Birchwood Forest, and lived there for almost his entire childhood. Even though he was one of the only Shinx in that area, he wasn't teased about it, and had a very smooth life. Having it easy isn't always good, though. Gavin was sheltered from virtually all the world's problems, from knowing about the anger between the guilds, to something as small as a berry shortage. Needless to say it shocked him when something bad happened in his seemingly perfect world.

Nobody knows exactly how it started, but a rumor has been going around that a group of Bunnelby were attacking a Chimchar that wandered into their territory. The Chimchar fought back with a flamethrower, which completely missed the Bunnelby, and instead hit a tree. Using a fire attack in a dense forest probably wasn't a good idea. Within minutes, almost a quarter of Birchwood Forest had caught fire - the part of the forest that Gavin lived in. It quickly became big enough to see even from Treasure Town, which is exactly what happened. Residents of Treasure Town noticed what was happening in Birchwood Forest and word quickly spread of their emergency. Soon there were groups of water Pokemon making their way over there to help extinguish the flames.

Back in the center of the blaze, the entire place was in chaos. Pokemon were running from the fire as trees were burning and toppling to the ground. Gavin was unsure of what to do, because as far as he knew, nothing remotely like this had ever happened. His house was too far away, so the possibility of him hiding in it wasn't an option. Although his house is made of wood, so it wouldn't have been a good idea anyway. Much to Gavin's relief, he spotted his parents running over to him. They all met up and tried to find an exit to the forest that didn't require walking through the flames. There only seemed to be one way out of this area, so they made the decision that would change Gavin's life forever, they followed the path. Not long after, they heard a loud rumbling sound coming from behind them. A large herd of Skidoo had been faced with the same problem, and were currently barreling down the path at unstoppable speeds. Gavin barely managed to avoid them, however his parents weren't as lucky. The only thing that the Skidoo seemed to be thinking about was escaping the fire. Gavin's parents were caught in the stampede and carried off, which would be rather comical if not for the situation.

By the time the water Pokemon extinguished the flames, most of that area of the forest had already burned to the ground. Gavin, having no where else to go, returned to his home to see what was left of it. Like him, many other Pokemon were slowly returning as well only to find that the forest was inhospitable and almost beyond repair. There was nothing left of Gavin's house except a pile of ashes and a blue scarf that had somehow avoided the flames. That item was the only thing left of Gavin's life in Birchwood Forest.

Ten years have passed since the fire. Gavin had left Birchwood Forest in hopes of finding a new place to call home, and his efforts were rewarded with the discovery of Scale City. Using the small amount of money that he had found in dungeons, Gavin bought a house in the city. Even though he got a job and had enough money, his life quickly began to feel empty, so Gavin decided to join the guild. To his surprise, literally every single Pokemon in the Scale City guild was Dragon type. Despite that, Denise, the guild master, wasn't opposed to Gavin joining, and was actually confused as to why everyone there was Dragon type. Gavin's first mission was to find a lost Oran Berry in Secret Cave. not the most challenging mission, but he was just a beginner at this. The last thing that Gavin seems to remember is getting ambushed by a Dweeble...

Appearance: Gavin looks like a normal Shinx, except he wears the blue scarf that he found in the remains of his house.
Differences: No differences, except that he knows Ice Fang. (Egg move.)

And here it is, lol.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

By the way, I dug up Gavin's old app from about three years ago. I'll show it if he wants me to, lol.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

[Spruce]

Dexter, and a few others decided that the best course of action was to simply attack the guildmaster, but, unfortunately, the guildmaster took all of those attacks with ease, and then launched another hyper voice towards Rebecca and Nina, neither of whom, I assumed, really wanted another blast of audible pain. That, of course, brought my attention to the two, who seemed to be discussing something. I then tried to use coil, allowing me to focus on a possible new strategy, and, of course, increasing my stats. Hmm... attacks, in general seem useless against him, but, I wonder... are statuses as useless, or are those going to actually work? After that thought, I decide to aim a leech seed at the guildmaster, somehow actually hitting him with it, despite the darkness, and then he started to rush right at me, using a double-edge move that I wasn't prepared for. I tried to hide, or dodge, but it seemed like I didn't need to, given that a bronzor, our client, got in the way of the attack, easily taking the hit, given his constant use of iron defense, earlier, and his steel typing. "Whew... thanks, that was kind of close..." I said to him, causing him to just smile at me for a bit before floating away, again. I then noticed the leech seed take effect, draining health from the guildmaster and giving it to me, completely healing the damage I took from his hyper voice, earlier.

[Nina]

As Dexter bit the guildmaster, Rebecca asked the guildmaster whether he was brainwashed, or evil. The guildmaster decided to respond with another hyper voice, aimed specifically for her... and me, since I was nearby. "Owwww! Okay, looks like plain old attacks and taunting aren't gonna work... wait, I think I've got it! First, either we have Dexter burn the guildmaster, or we have him try to physically attack me, so I can poison him, and after that, you could just keep using confusion so it'll be that much harder for him to hit us," as I said that, I noticed Spruce launch some leech seeds at the guildmaster, reminding me of a certain fight where that same thing happened to Rebecca, and the guildmaster repaid Spruce's 'kindness' with a double-edge, which was blocked by our client, of all pokemon... I guess that's what happens when you overuse iron defense, but still. I hope we don't have to be bailed out by our client too often in this fight... sheesh, that would be embarassing... I thought as I saw the guildmaster's life get drained by the still evil-looking seeds. I didn't care which side they were on, leech seeds always looked evil, to me... and their function only confirmed their evilness in my eyes. After explaining the plan, I noticed Dexter was still biting the guildmaster, and I shouted to him "Hey Dexter! Try to burn the guildmaster while you're holding onto him like that! If our attacks aren't doing anything, maybe status effects will win this for us!"

[Anthony]

The fight continued with me using muddy water to hit all the enemies in the room, and after that, they turned their attention towards me. "Whoops... shouldn't have put a target on my back, huh...?" I sort of meekly said after they aimed their moves at me. It seemed to be over, with at least five ice beams heading my way, and a few ice fangs in the mix, as well, however, a kadabra just teleported in from seemingly nowhere, and used his psychic powers to redirect all of their attacks, letting me live for at least one more turn. "Huh? Hey, wait, I'm alive! Heh... thanks mister..." I then looked up at my savior, this time, and memories of a certain draconic mountain, and a ticked off fairy type came flooding back. "Wait... you? YOU!?" I shouted at him, only to have him shrug, and respond with "Do I... know you? Beyond the psychic message I sent to you to come here, I mean," Daniel then interjected with "Yeah, I kinda kicked your rear end back at Mt. Dragoncoil, when you were assaulting an innocent Pichu," he shrugged, again, and said "I'm reading that memory, right now... seems like you DID see me... but I don't remember ever going there, especially to attack some tiny electric type. Hmm... looking at when you remember that happening... no, I was busy being lost in that maze during that time. There's no way I could have been on that mountain, though, funnily enough, I've always wanted to see the view from the top of that place," I then shook my head, and decided to continue, this time, using body slam on one of the glalie, while Daniel used Shadow Rush on one of the frosslass, and our new kadabra... friend...(?) used psychic on another one of them, trying to smash one into the other with that move.

The hug lasted for a bit longer than I wanted it to, but even I have to admit that it felt kind of nice, this time. "Alright, I think we've had enough hugs for now, let's continue on, now that we're together, again... so... from what we've all seen, where do you think a psychic / fighting type would hide in this place?" I asked my team after the hug finally stopped. I then tried to recall most of the cave that I went through alone, and tried to recall any forks in the road, or any sort of weird spots on the wall... I then recalled seeing some weird scrapes under a wall in that left path that had a throh in it, but... how was I going to get across, now? I then finally said "So... good news, and bad news... I know where he's probably hiding, however, there's a giant chasm between here and there, and last time I crossed it, I had to use a throh's, er, throwing power," I then shook my head, and waited for the other two to come up with any ideas, or any other possible hiding spots, because I really didn't want him to be there. I then sat down for a bit, trying to make sure my leg heals up, just so I don't have to limp, anymore, and I hear someone approaching from somewhere... an enemy? Now? Well, at least we have Tini, again, and he can just... deal with them while Eralion and I come up with more ideas and plans.

Alright, nice to know... sorry if I've been annoying.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

I'm guessing you're busy, but just in case you just forgot, @lavulman, it's your turn.

Trevor Smithee

Medburn Guild

@Evanist, @Shiny Keldeo

As Trevor's two future teammates berated him for going outside, as well they should, he just nodded, and followed Lalchan to the medical wing of the guild, clumsily walking around as he did. Kinda odd how I'm somehow even clumsier than when I was human... maybe that has something to do with the fact that this body's built to fly, at least, mostly. he thought as he continued on, the cold, thankfully splinter-free floor under his feet, and the smell of... something getting stronger as he continued. Of course, he also heard the rest of the guild's chatter, something about how the portal was going to create a disaster, and how this wasn't the first time this has happened. Trevor figured that simply existing in this world would cause it to go to pure chaos. He spotted a small fairy type pokemon, one of the ones that held flowers in their hands, and he shuddered as he passed by, knowing full well that if he angered it, he would be HELPLESS in a fight, and, oddly enough, the thing seemed to notice him shudder, as it looked at Trevor, confused. It then asked why he was shaking, but he didn't want to answer that question, especially since he thought it would use that answer against him, no, instead, he just kept walking, despite the fact that the small fairy pokemon was now following him.

Ember

Medburn Plaza (Eira's house) -> Medburn Outskirts (outside Ember's house)

@Ridlins, @Shiny Keldeo

It seemed as if the plan was going well for Ember, and once he snapped back into reality, he answered "Eh? Yes, I guess all that's left IS my parents' permission, or, more accurately, my MOM'S permission!" Ember shouted in his usual voice before finishing some of the food that was brought to them, and leaving the place behind him. Of course, while Ember would like nothing more than for his mother to never meet either of these two, he knew that they'd get suspicious of him if he just bolted off, again, so, he made sure that the rest of the team could follow as he headed to the outskirts of town. Away from the sights, smells, and sounds of city life, there was one... oddly enough, tree that he and his parents lived in, despite most of the family being fire types. Ember always wondered why his own fire moves never burned the tree, and he assumed that the nosy pokemon behind him would ask that exact question, so, he just blurted out "No, I don't know how it hasn't burned down yet, either! Maybe it's the type of tree they make guilds out of, or something!" Ember then remembered this one time he saw a slugma enter the guild... and somehow, the wooden structure didn't immediately burst into flames... again, somehow, the wood was immune to fire.

Well, I JUST finished my final project, so, expect a post soon, as in, in a few days at the absolute most.
MAN it feels good being done with that, at least for a while.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

So, I guess it's @lavulman's turn.
