Dragonball: Future Prospects

Glass and his sons left with the Androids, glad to be out of the old military base. While it was certainly grand, it felt much better to be outside and flying through the familiar skies, towards home. Behind him, Silic and Sodius kept an eye on the androids, while Glass led the way to the Lookout. Their journey was short, all three eager to see what the new comers had to bring. Landing on the Lookout, they were greeted by Popo.

"I've prepared the Pendulum Room for you and your.. Guests, Guardian." The genie seemed a little wary of the two unfamiliar androids, remembering the last time Vera and Glass had fought. "If you need anything, I'll be tending the gardens." Nodding, Glass motioned to the Pendulum Room, leading his guests to their sparring area. Nearby, the Namekian could sense Rin watching everyone, her power suppressed to almost nothing, but practically radiating to Glass' senses. At least the girl knew when she was outclassed.

Soon, the six of them were standing outside the impressive doors to the Pendulum Room. "This is it. If everyone's ready, we can enter."

Don't worry about post length Gooblefly, I think we can all get a little long winded at time :^) Loved the battle by the way, Dig definitely has a weakness in that it can be really predictable. You can only attack from one direction!

Pokemon: Our World

Zach watched the next match with a certain intensity. He had his eyes on the guy at first, seeing that he had three Pokemon to choose from. Seeing the flashes of red light, however, he quickly revised his opinion of the girl as a Swinub was released. How could she get a Swinub? Any kind of Ice type was rare in San Francisco, outside of the occasional Lapras or Spheal. She must be from out of state. It looked like things would be interesting, and he was right. The match went to that Alice girl.

Bouncing on his heels, Zach walked up to where he would be battling next, eager to get the match started. The announcer turned to look at both of his contestants. “Our battlers are Zacharias Mann and Julio Garza of San Fransisco!” Motioning to each of the boys as he said their names, a polite amount of applause filled the section of beach.

Zach tried to study his opponent, having decided to try and choose his Pokemon based on what he could gleam from his foe. The man was tall, taller than even Zacharias, and his dark olive skin tone said that he was used to working outside. Maybe he had a Pokemon to help him with that? Except he also had a handsome face and body that said he worked out a lot, he could just be a fan of the tanning booth and have something less practical.

Deciding this was a waste of time, Zach just took a Pokeball off his belt. Time to get serious. Opposite of him, Julio did the same. “Ready! And, begin!” Julio was the first to throw his Pokeball, followed shortly by Zacharias. Red lights filling the air, a pair of Pokemon were released, a Lotad and an Electrike.

“Lotad, Astonish!” Julio’s Pokemon rushed forward at a surprisingly fast speed, a ghostly aura surrounding it as it crashed into Electrike.

Thankfully, the attack didn’t cause a flinch. “Silas, give him a Thunder Wave!” Electricity danced across the Pokemon’s body before bursting out, covering a wide area in static. Covering Lotad, the electricity seemed to tighten the muscles in the small Pokemon’s body.

“Lotad, pull yourself together! Give it a Surf, full power!” Ah, that explained why Julio was so tan. Unfortunately, the paralysis seemed to take a lot out of Lotad, as it struggled to move its body.

Zacharias smirked. “Throw an Electro Ball, give it all you’ve got!” Eyes wide, Julio could only watch as a ball of electricity grew in front of the small Electrike. Allowing it to charge to a massive size compared to the Pokemon delivering it, Silas let the blast loose with a concussive ‘boom’. Charging forward, the attack knocked the Lotad out in a single hit.

“Lotad is unable to battle! Electrike and Mann are the winners!”

Running up to its master, Silas jumped into Zacharias’ arms and licked the man’s face. “Hahah! Good job Silas, it looks like that strategy worked just like we planned!” The pair walked off to the side of the match area, waiting for the next battle. Drawing a few stares from their one-hit attack, Zach was sure the next competitor would take them very seriously.

"We can go to the Pendulum Room to battle." Glass looked over at his sons, who he could sense were nervous. "You can't die in the Pendulum Room, and any life-threatening injuries heal afterwards as well. The only thing you have to worry about is exhaustion." Reaching out with his senses, he could tell Vera's words rang true, Fourteen and Fifteen feeling more human than their sister. It would be interesting to see what the girl with the sword could do, and the purpose the others tail served.

"I can have Popo prepare the Room for us telepathically, and we can begin our fight right away. Not even I will know what type of environment the Room will give us to fight in."

Glass raised his brow at the challenge. "A battle between the six of us, hmm? That seems a little dangerous, even if you promise to not kill. Besides, I'm not sure about the little girl's attitude." Eyeing the large sword the smaller android wielded, Glass continued. "Besides, we have no information on your fighting styles, while Vera could easily fill you in on ours. Care to even up the stakes?"

Sharing a nervous glance with his brother, Sodius leaned his head towards their possible combatants. 'What do you think father's doing? Vera is at least as strong as himself, and the other two could be stronger than even her! We don't stand a chance!' The thought instantly made its way to Silic's mind.

'I don't know. We'll just have to beat them either way, won't we Sodius?' The named brother narrowed his eyes at how haughty his brother sounded, turning back to face their challengers, trying to ignore the building dread in his stomach.

'I hope you're right and we can win this. Otherwise, we might have to resort to drastic measures.' The pair knew exactly what that meant, and neither was excited at the prospect.

The referee motioned towards the scary young lady. "Feel free to use the arena area to the fullest. Getting knocked out of the arena will begin a five-second timer, after which you will be disqualified. Special consideration will be given towards certain Pokémon moves. Anything inside the arena area is fair game to use."

Seeing no other questions being asked, the referee stepped back and motioned for the first match to begin.

Zacharias watched the first matchup, a Magnemite against a Timburrr. The pair were a surprisingly good match up to spectate, developing into a fast-paced chase of cat and mouse, Magnemite trying to pull back and attack while Timburr wanted in close. At first it appeared as if Timburr would win, after delivering a vicious Mach Punch to the floating Pokémon. Magnemite's retaliatory Shock Wave, however, was particularly brutal and ultimately won it for the Pokémon.

Continuing to watch the field, the next two competitors stepped out to begin their match. Both looked nervous from his vantage point, but anything could be going on from where he stood, out of the way. Zacharias continued to nervously fiddle with his Pokeball, eager to begin his own match. "Soon, team. We're next."

No, the best way to get another player right now is just to keep the thread active and bumped :^) If we get another to join we'll figure out a way to introduce them into the party well.

Watching the three, Glass wasn't sure what to make of the scene. After a few moments, the Namekian decided to go with heart-warmed, chalking up the smug grin on his face to happiness for the trio. "Let them have their moment, I'm sure they'll have to get embarrassed of the scene they're causing eventually. Besides, it's nice to see a side of Thirteen that isn't sarcastic."

Sharing a glance, the two brothers nodded in agreement. Finding a soft side to the normally crass android definitely not on their agenda for the day, but it certainly wasn't unwelcome.

Pokemon: Our World

Gooblefly or you, I'm not too concerned about turn order unless we get into battles with each other.

Glass returned the android's handshake, a sense of relief falling over him. It was nice seeing a friendly face he knew could be relied upon to be trustworthy, especially as the man seemed to be running the facility they were in. "It's nice to truly meet you, Sixteen." Turning to the monitors and displays nearby, Glass skimmed through some of the information quickly.

"It's amazing what Gero accomplished in his time. I hate to admit it, but the man really was a genius in his own right." He continued to look over the huge amounts of information, trying to take mental notes of everything he could while he waited. Behind him, his sons took the chance to shake the giant of a man's hand as well, introducing themselves.
