Pokemon: Dream

Camila kept her eyes out as she traversed the forest. It was a large forest and the woman's friend could be just about anywhere. Whoever she was didn't seem so keen on giving out any names for herself or her friend. Well, regardless, the forest of Route 1 seemed mostly peaceful. There were fishermen out and about, trying to get a catch or two. A couple of them were friendly enough and gave her a wave, which she more than happily waved back. Still, she hadn't seen the woman she was looking for yet. A mute woman with red hair and "big". She wasn't quite sure she wanted to broach that subject much.

On the way, as she passed by a bush, she happened to see a Pidgey off the road a bit. It was a cute little thing and a fairly common sight in the area. Still, if she was going to begin traveling and working much like a trainer did, perhaps it wasn't a bad idea to have a few Pokemon along the road with her. Especially since she didn't exactly ask if anyone wanted to join her... It was going to be a fairly lonely road without a few friends with her. With a smile, she started to sneak around a bit. Snow seemed to get the message as well and sneakily followed her and the two crept closer to the bird Pokemon.

Once they were a good distance closer, "Snow, use Powder Snow!" She exclaimed, commanding her Vulpix to hit the bird with the super-effect Ice-type move. The goal, of course, was to catch the Pidgey off guard, hit it with a super effective move and then throw the Pokeball at the weakened Pokemon before it had a chance to respond. "Here we go!" After the attack hit, she would throw one of her Pokeballs out to try and catch the Tiny Bird Pokemon. Hopefully, this would be a quick capture considering she had offered to help that woman find her friend.

As soon as Eliz distracted the demon, the dolls on reserve hopped into action. One blasted the idol with a low-powered magic shot that softly shot it at the other doll, waiting to catch it. The doll caught it and it pittered on it's feet catching it before hefting it adorably over it's head and running toward the back of the room. "Good." Katherine muttered to herself as she glanced back at the doll.

Now back forward to the speaking tiny demon. "Do you speak of 'Garlic Bread'? Easy. You shall have a belly full of it after we get back. Just promise not to eat any people." The firbolg said, now turning to Lyssa asking her for a spell to tie down the possessed mother. "Hmm? I suppose I could." She could craft a set of spiritual chains with her magic power. It wouldn't necessarily be difficult it might just take a small bit of time... But, well, that wouldn't be too annoying. Eliz had already locked the demon down for... Well, a short time at least. She started to focus her magic as she walked around a small bit. She just needed a small bit of a better angle of the demon as some blue magical chains started to wrap around her right arm.

Eliz was preventing the demon from destroying them with fire. A blessing they had such a woman with them. Well, with that happening... The chain on her arm launched forward, wrapping around the demon's neck first. After, it would quickly wrap around her arms, binding them to her torso, then her hands. From there they took her legs and moved them into quite the uncomfortable and unnatural position as the chains bound her legs to her arms. "Little cutie, think you can help me keep her restrained for a bit?" The firbolg asked the small demon helping them.

"Make a habit of bothering cute girls? Not really?" Camila questioned with Snow returning to her side. "Admittedly, you do seem a bit out of place here. Though, I'm not exactly one to say that really." The assistant looked at her outfit and thought about it. She just kinda left with little but her bag and it's contents, a Pokeball and her bank account. "Hmm. Perhaps I should find some more appropriate dress." She mentioned to herself before shaking her head and looking back to the woman in front of her.

It was then that she noticed the woman giving her a deadpan stare. Camila returned the stare with a bit of uncomfort. She wasn't sure how to approach this conversation exactly. That is, until the woman spoke up again. "I'm not exactly a trainer. Just an assistant to Professor Camphor in the city. It's been years since I've even had the idea of being a trainer, proper. Still, I don't mind helping if you need it." Camila would then look down at her Pokemon with a smile, "We can help the gal out, can't we Snow?" She asked her Pokemon that just gave an affirming yip in return.

"Umm, you say your partner is hard to miss, think you can give me a few details and I'll be on my way?" Camila asked, curious. "Oh, and point me in the direction you last saw her."

Pokemon: Dream

The roads outside the city were quite and peaceful in comparison to inside of course. Camila decided to carry her Vulpix through the city and set the cute thing down when they were out of the concrete jungle. "Haaa. Still can't believe the Professor would toss me to the wolves like that. Eh, Vulpix?" She asked, looking over her new Pokemon.

It just gave small, "Pix!" In agreement.

This gave the girl a small smile as she knelt down and gave the fox a pat on the head. It was a cute Pokemon now and when it eventually evolved it would become quite the beautiful and fluffy sight. "Hmm. Perhaps I should give you a nickname. There's more than just one Vulpix in the world after all." She scratched at her chin for a few seconds. "Hmmm... Let's not think too hard about it. Since you're an Ice-Type, how about something simple. Does "Snow" sound good?"

The Vulpix tilted it's head for a second as if confused before giving a small nod and running in a small circle giving out small yips. It seemed to like the name well enough. "Alright, Snow. Let's take the first steps of our journey together." With that, the two walked fully onto Route 1. It was about what one would expect, more a walking path for people in the city, but it had its own charm. The more they walked in, the more the verdant forest enveloped them and quieted the bustle of the city.

Soon, they were walking alongside a stream. It looked clean and glistened in the sunlight that pierced the forest canopy above. Camila looked ahead and saw something that seemed... Out of place. A girl dressed lightly, though looked rather fitting on her. She looked over the rather impatient looking girl and walked closer. For some reason, she felt like she should talk to her. Perhaps it was the small glance she received. Or, rather, the occasional ones. "Hello. How are you? I'm Camila."

As she introduced herself, Snow ran up to the girl and looked up at her, giving a "Pix!"

"And that's Snow." She made sure to stay a decent distance back, "Sorry to bother you if you're busy. I just wanted say hello to the first person I met after leaving the city." Her eyes drifted to the motorcycle before going back. "Especially when that someone has an off-roading bike. It makes one a small bit curious."

"How do I feel? It feels like a stab in the back of sorts. I know what kind of person she is, but I wish she would have at least discussed it with me." The lab assistant turned field assistant mentioned, mindlessly handing her ID over to the other assistant. "What do you need it for?" She asked before seeing her level was increased. That was really nice. Then, when Frieda gave her her phone number and told her to call her if anything came up, she couldn't help but let a small tear come to her eye. She tossed her arms around Frieda and brought the other assistant into a hug. "This is why you're my best friend, Frieda." She said, happily. "Best of luck on the babysi-- Watching over the professor." Camila commented before releasing Frieda and sighing a small bit. "Sorry. Just a bit happy about that. I'll try not to call you too much. Maybe I'll just head straight out and try to get the task done as fast as I can." She mentioned, looking at the other people in the room. One had challenged the others to a double battle. Well, outside of catching Pokemon, that wasn't her cup of tea really. She'd rather just surround herself with the cute things and note their characteristics instead.

The Maids Guide to Demon Hunting

The demon girl was much more effective than Katherine had expected. She had managed to get the possessed woman to release the idol which was a great thing. In the madness of the moment, Katherine had ordered two of her dolls to move. One to the side of the conflict, hopefully out of notice and another to the other side empowerer with wind magic. Her plan was a bit reckless perhaps, but she hope it would work. If she could use a wind enhanced bullet to shoot the idol to her other doll, it would be in their hands. She didn't want to preemptively do anything though.

As the little demon, Xivi, came skidding back to her after biting into the possessed woman's wrist, Katherine smirked. "I knew keeping you around was a good idea. Help us out and I don't mind getting you some food when we get back. The good stuff too... Not humanoids or anything though. Beef. Pork." The Firbolg mentioned, thinking it pertinent to mention considering the demon had just said she would eat her whole. "Maybe you like some good bread?" She asked, looking up towards the two mothers in one.

"You're not going to let it happen?" The firbolg asked with a sly smile. "If you ask me, it doesn't matter what you think will happen, you know?" She mentioned. Her teammates had her back right? Katherine, Lyssa, two demons and a squad of gunner dolls against one weakened demon? It should be a piece of cake, really. "Reality has a harsh way of coming down on all of us." She wanted the demon's attention off the idol long enough for the one doll to take the shot and blast the idol to the other doll. With that much in the way, everyone else should have an easy time restraining the possessed woman, right?

"And I'm not a 'cat-thing' I'm a Firbolg!" Katherine complained. "Saving humans... Well, if it's a side-effect. Mostly, I'm concerned with making sure demons don't run around willy-nilly. Personally." The firbolg crossed her arms and tapped her foot. "Though, I do like to go out of my way to save pretty women where I can."

Lyssa was right however. They were in some odd standoff. They couldn't really do anything than aim at her and she could take her hosts life and feed the idol blood. But.... She had a... A really bold idea. There was something fairly similar between the demon that had fought in the town center and the ones they fought to get there. Something of an aquatic nature perhaps? She spoke under her breath to Lyssa. "This may go well or it may go bad... But I think I do have a small bit of a plan." She bit her lip a small bit and reached under her skirt. Out from there, however she was hiding it, was the spherical capsule that held the demon they had captured the other day. As it seemed, she did not turn it in somehow and had done something with it. Not that Lyssa or Eliz would know what was in it of course.

She pulled an arm back and threw the ball forward. "Demon girl, I choose you!" She exclaimed, unsure of why exactly she said such a thing, really. She just hoped this might have a small effect that she wanted.

Pokemon: Dream

Well. The Isla situation was taken care of for now at least. She'd likely use her Pokeballs to catch Pokemon and that was a net boon for everyone involved of course. Now that they were back with the professor, she listened along to the woman's words, nodding along where needed. Yep, she could sure help them figure out the Pokedex if needed. Everyone's Pokedex came to life as they got registered and she was happy enough to see...

That is, until the professor handed her Pokeballs. "Eh?" She questioned, looking at the balls before being handed a Pokeball with a Pokemon in it. "W-w-w-wait! P-p-professor? What do you mean field agent!?" The professor, however, shrugged her off. "Prooofffeessooorr..." The woman complained as she was ignored once again. She would practically be sobbing if it wasn't in public. "Haaaa...." Instead, she sighed and looked around at all the people the Professor had hired to go catch Pokemon for her. They were discussing where to go and plotting out their courses... She had no idea where she would even go at this. She just released the Pokemon from it's Pokeball and she had an idea what it was. Something she had mentioned wanting to get her hands on. A Vulpix. Not just any Vulpix, an Alolan Vulpix.

She knelt down and pet the little thing. "I guess we'll be traveling together then little one." She picked it up in her arms and moved on with Frieda. She didn't really have much to add to those around her. Perhaps she'd join someone but... For now, she would walk near Frieda and trying to get a feel for those around her.

The Storm Cycle: Reclamation

The damage she dealt was about as she could expect against such a beast. Luna frowned however, hoping it would do a little more damage. "Damn. Dragons are tough as they say." Luna muttered to herself as she unsheathed her sword. She started to move as the dragon reared back, expecting it to slam down once again, only to see something else. Smoke billowed from it's snout and the knightess' eyes went wide. "Fire." She muttered once again. Quickly, she brought up a light barrier to shield herself from the incoming fire breath. It was shaped much like an arrowhead to allow the fire to quickly push past her and require less focus on keeping the barrier up. Once she was free from having to shield herself from the deadly flames, she would drop the barrier and summon a javelin of light to throw at the beast's eyes as well. She'd aim for the side that Cecil wasn't on. After tossing that, she would close in on the monster. If she cast her magic on her blade, there was a good chance for her to do some damage.

Katherine watched in awe as Eliz did something very.... Special. Time crush? What the hell did that even mean in context? Whatever it truly meant, she did not want to experience it first hand. It seemed to have some unpalatable consequences. "Well. Good work then, Eliz." The firbolg mentioned scratching the back of her head. That was easier than expected, truthfully. She watched as one doll pushed the other off the new hole in the ground and, immediately after Lyssa's gauntlets fell in, she slapped that one doll over the top of the head. "Don't knock your sister into holes."

After she jumped in the hole, falling to the the next level followed by her dolls. She used the same wind magic she did after being thrown off the airship prior to carefully hit the ground level as well as her dolls. Once down there, she checked on the one that fell to make sure there were no damages on it. It was mostly fine so she turned and followed after Lyssa with her squad of gun-toting dolls. After a short saunter down the hall, the group found themselves in front of the demon-possessed mother. "Talk? I'm not sure what we have to talk about, demon." She pulled out her pistol and aimed at the woman, her dolls lining up and ready fire at a moments notice." She considered trying to shoot the idol out of the woman's hand though figured that she would only be marginably successful. "Perhaps you want to discuss a surrender?" She asked with a smirk before quickly looking around the room, seeing if there was anything out of place or perhaps something to take advantage of.
