Oh hi! Long time no see.

[Josh]
It soon became apparent that reasoning with Kyurem wasn't an option. The Blizzard that he sent towards them threatened to knock out most of them, and probably would have if Reshiram's wall of flames hadn't stopped it. Though Reshiram could put a stop to Kyurem's attacks, this meant that he wouldn't have a lot of chances to use attacks of his own. It would be best to stay back and use long-ranged attacks, to make it easier for Reshiram to protect them.

Apparently, Kamina hadn't realized this, because he immediately charged at the rampaging legendary. Though the Blizzard wasn't enough to stop him, there was no way that was Kyurem's only attack. "Kamina, get back here!" Josh shouted out to his teammate, but whether or not Kamina would listen to him was a different story.

After aiming carefully to ensure he didn't hit Kamina, Josh began building up energy, before unleashing it in a powerful blast towards Kyurem. This was Dragon Pulse, a move that Josh had never used before now. Though it was a powerful attack, it would take a lot more than that to bring a legendary like Kyurem down.

[Donovan]
The Salandit did something to Donovan. He wasn't sure what it was, but at that moment, he was hit with a sudden wave of dizziness. He quickly stumbled away from his intended target, instead hitting something else. Though he had no clue what it was, he began wildly slashing at it with Metal Claw, determined to take down this new opponent. It wasn't until his head cleared that he realized he wasn't attacking a Pokemon, but a small shrub, which had now been reduced to a pile of twigs and leaves.

The Gible and Salandit were nowhere to be found. No matter how hard he looked, Donovan couldn't find any trace of them. "Cowards! You dare run from a fight?" Donovan shouted, receiving no response. With no way of knowing where they went, all he could do was head in the direction his instincts were telling him to go.

His instincts were wrong. As he came upon a small cliff, he peered over the edge, and while he didn't see those two Pokemon from before, he did find a new opponent. This time it was a Wurmple, who was carrying some kind of bag with him. The drop was short enough that it wouldn't hurt him, so he used this opportunity to try out yet another attack he'd seen in the Colosseum. "METEOR... STRIKE!" He called out, before leaping off the side of the cliff, aiming to land on the Wurmple down below.

Just like last time, though, it didn't work out like he'd planned. Not only did he completely miss, but he'd also landed on his back. As much as he tried to flip himself over, the spike on his backside had been driven into the ground. Even worse, that "Nyaaaaaaaagh!" Donovan's cries echoed through the forest. "This means nothing! A tiny insect like you is still no match for me!" He couldn't see where exactly the Wurmple was, so he began swiping his limbs through the air, hoping to hit him with Metal Claw if he happened to be close enough.

[Dexter]
With the bookshelf brought down onto the Guildmaster's head, the fight was over. "So, what made the Guildmaster go apeshit?" Dexter asked. He seemed to have come to his senses at that point, which was good news. It meant that whatever it was, it wasn't permanent. "Check some of the bottles. Let's see what they've been brewing in here."

Things have been busy for me lately, but I'll try to get a post up as soon as I can.

I don't think it works when you edit it in, Gavin.

Mia Reid

Not a moment after she'd found where the ring of fire landed, Mia heard something shuffling through the woods. The sound slowly grew louder. Without a doubt, it was headed towards her. She reached for her bow, ready to pull it out at a moment's notice. She was expecting some kind of beast, but much to her surprise, a pink unicorn emerged. Mia was at a loss for words as it began to speak, and seemed to recognize her from somewhere.

As the pony explained himself, everything became clear... almost. Normally, Mia would be doubtful, but what he said seemed to be the truth. The story he told did sound like something Trevor would do. She let out a long sigh. "Please tell me I won't have to babysit you." There was probably a lot more to this story. Before she could press him for more details, though, there were more important things to deal with. The fiery equine was using extremely powerful magic that should leave anyone completely incapacitated, and now there were raptors coming from the spaceship. There was only one question on her mind. "Trevor, where exactly are we?"

The Zea of Worlds

Mia Reid

Hider

Name: Mia Reid
Species: Dragon
Age: 19

Source: N/A (Same chunk as Trevor)

Appearance Description: Mia is a somewhat small quadrupedal dragon, standing at about 5'2" and weighing 130lbs. despite being quadrupedal, she can quite easily stand on her hind legs, and even has opposable thumbs. She has a pair of wings on her back, each one about 5' long when fully extended. Her scales are mostly a light green colour, save for the thicker ones on her neck and stomach, which are slightly darker. She has a 'mane' of white feathers, which goes from the top of her head right to the tip of her tail. She has a horn on each side of her head, which curve around and point forward. Her eyes are a deep shade of purple, and have thin, slit-shaped pupils. As for clothing, Mia wears a set of white robes that wouldn't look out of place on a mage. She typically leaves the hood up, though her face is still clearly visible. Underneath the robes, she has several straps which securely hold her bow and first-aid kit, one under each wing.

Personality: Mia is shy and reclusive, usually only speaking when she absolutely needs to. On the rare occasion that she does talk, she does so in a hushed voice, barely loud enough to hear. To some, this may make her seem weak and naive, but that's far from the truth. She's much more sharp-witted than she may initially seem, and she always has her guard up around those who she doesn't know. It can be difficult to gain her trust, and though she's willing to cooperate with strangers, she won't let her guard down around them.

Backstory:

Hider

Back when she was still human, Mia was a med school student. She was the type who never talked to people or made friends, seeing such things as a waste of time. All she really cared about at the time was her grades and exams. If she would've known what would happen next, she would've never bothered. In just one night, all of the hard work to maintain her straight A's had gone to waste.

Mia couldn't even comprehend what happened at first. It was almost like a dream. Her body was completely transformed, she had powers that shouldn't have been possible outside of fiction, and when she went outside, there was mass panic. She fled from the chaos of the city, moving closer to the outskirts. After coming across a heavily wooded area, she set up a shelter there, away from civilization.

Over time, she used her magic to manipulate the forest in order to protect herself and her belongings. After several weeks, the once easy-to-navigate woods were transformed into a twisting maze of vines and roots. While Mia had the whole thing mapped out, anyone else would get lost, and quickly succumb to Mia's Snares and Light Arrows. Rumors quickly spread, and after hearing about the so-called 'green witch' in the 'cursed forest', most people started to avoid it.

Meanwhile, a cult in the city she fled from grew more and more powerful. They patrolled the surrounding area, kidnapping anyone they found. Of course, since she'd isolated herself, Mia didn't even know about them at first. Her first encounter was with one of their victims who'd managed to escape. The heavily mutated Gryphon went into Mia's maze to hide, and moments later, several cultists went in after her. Just like all the others, though, Mia was able to fend them off.

Though the cultists were gone, the one they were after was in terrible condition. By the time Mia found her, she was unconscious, and after getting a closer look, she was shocked that she was still alive. With her healing magic, Mia was able to tend to most of her wounds, but the growths on her body were a different story. The magic had no effect on them, and she couldn't do much else without modern medical equipment. She decided that she had to find out what those cultists did to the poor girl, otherwise she wouldn't be able to do anything to help her.

After making sure nobody could get to her patient, she left her maze for the first time since the ordeal started. As refreshing as it was to be out of that claustrophobic forest, she was constantly on her toes. She kept her distance, avoiding the cultists as much as possible. She was able to locate most of their bases and outposts, but she knew she couldn't take them on alone.

One night, she returned to find that some of her Snares had been set off. Fearing the worst, she rushed to her shelter in the center of the maze. It was there that she met Trevor and his group of adventurers. They initially assumed that Mia was part of the cult, since she had one of their victims hidden away in her shelter. She assumed the same about them as well, but after a brief standoff, they soon understood that they had a common enemy. After sharing everything she knew, she joined them in their quest to take the cult down.

After fighting many waves of cultists, they eventually tracked down and defeated their leader, freeing his prisoners and claiming a piece of some kind of artifact. While Trevor continued his journey, Mia opted to stay behind. A lot of the prisoners were in the same condition as the girl she found earlier, and she wanted to try everything she could to repair the damage that had been done to them.

Even after Trevor's quest was finished she continued to care for the victims. That was, until the day that she saw something in the sky. Upon going outside, she noticed Trevor heading over to investigate, but there was a problem. His usual group of companions wasn't with him. He went out there on his own, without any backup. Mia decided to follow him, just to make sure he didn't get himself into any trouble. As she got to the top of the mountain, though, she noticed that Trevor wasn't there. All she could find was the artifact that he carried around with him. While she didn't know how to use it, she picked it up anyway, and ended up accidentally activating it. Much to her surprise, she was teleported away, to the same place that Trevor ended up.

power section-

Skills:

Hider

Healer - While she's far from a professional, Mia has a decent amount of medical knowledge. This, combined with her healing magic, makes her particularly good at keeping her allies alive.

Botany - Since most of her magic revolves around plants, she's picked up a fair bit of knowledge about them.

Memory - Her near-photographic memory has helped her in many situations, such as getting amazing grades in med school, and memorizing the layout of her forest maze.

Traits:

Hider

Nimble - While she isn't much of a fighter, she does have the upper hand when it comes to speed and agility. It's helped her escape from many unfavorable situations.

Tough Scales - Her body is covered in thick scales, which are very difficult to cut or slice through. Blunt force, on the other hand...

Flight - She uses her wings to lift herself off the ground, and go from point A to point B. Just don't expect her to do anything more than that. She's not nearly as agile as she is on the ground.

Powers:

Hider

Like others in her chunk, Mia has control over two elements. In her case, it's Light and Nature.

Barrier - A small barrier of light appears in front of Mia, protecting her from harm. It can be broken if hit with enough force.

Light Arrow - An arrow-like projectile that travels in a straight line, piercing through multiple targets. The only spell in Mia's arsenal that can do any physical harm.

Radiant Aura - A multi-target healing spell. A ring of light forms around Mia, healing the wounds of anyone inside, whether they're an ally or an enemy.

Biokinesis - Mia can speed up the growth of plants, and force them to grow a certain way. Mana cost depends on the size of the plant.

Snare - A simple trap that consists of roots buried underground. Reacting to body heat, they shoot out of the ground and latch on to anything that gets close. Though they don't harm their target in any way, they can hold someone in place for quite some time. The trap lasts for 24 hours, unless it's triggered or destroyed.

Pollen Cloud - A small cloud of pollen forms around Mia, acting as a kind of smoke bomb. While it only causes minor drowsiness in those who escape quickly, anyone who breathes in too much will be put into a deep sleep. She can also expel a smaller amount from her palm, for a reduced magic cost.

Suture - Several vines move along the target's body, suturing any wounds and speeding up the healing process. While it's more effective than Radiant Aura, it only works on a single target.

Equipment:
-A simple wooden bow, formed by Mia's nature magic. Though she doesn't carry any arrows, she uses it to shoot her magically-formed Light Arrows.

-A first-aid kit, packed with various medical supplies.

-A white hooded cloak, specifically made to fit a dragon, rather than a human.

@Evanist@Kabling Do you two have time to post? We're still waiting on you.

It took a moment for Mia to take in her surroundings. The artifact had warped her to an unfamiliar forest, next to the ruins of some kind of castle. Clearly, she was nowhere near Lucky City. She briefly considered exploring the ruins, since they were really the only landmark in sight. If there was something dangerous inside, then she could use the artifact to warp out. She'd just need to figure out how to use it first.

It was then that Mia noticed that the artifact was gone. Just a second ago, it was in her hand, and now it was nowhere to be found. She began searching the area around her, becoming more desperate as time went on. Of course, she found nothing. She knew that she didn't just lose track of it, so where could it have possibly gone?

A flash of light from the sky interrupted her thoughts. Until now, she hadn't noticed the Eclipse in the sky, but she most certainly noticed the ring of fire that it shot towards the ground. After taking note of where it landed, Mia decided that she should probably investigate. She dashed off towards the impact site, weaving her way through the thick vegetation. She was careful to stay low in order to avoid detection. Even if it was just a meteor or something, she likely wasn't the only one who decided to get a closer look.
