THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

After being close to becoming wolf food a few times, Adam was quite grateful for MacKensie's help. Before trying to help Fenna, he had smiled at her, thanking her for her assistance and for the compliment as well. However, he was a little annoyed that the Alpha Female had escaped the vines so easily. Fenna being able to escape in the moment the beast was trapped had made it worthwhile, but the man had hoped for a more permanent ensnarement of the wolf. It was clear that a more durable solution to this problem would be needed and he knew it would take time for him to create one.

With his magic, the Druid started to grow a large, durable tree where the vines had been as the others fought the Alpha Female. Joji and Zell's martial prowess impressed the man, as did Lillianna and James' spells. Adam was glad they all seemed to work together so well. Fenna impressed him the most though; in a moment where she could have ran, the woman chose to fight the wolf again. Brave stuff. Of course, MacKensie's rapid-fire arrow barrage was also great, and everyone's attacks had given the man time to finish creating his plant. First, the Druid would attempt to pull the tree up from the ground. If that succeeded, he would hold it in the air in the right area for what he wanted to do next. Assuming nothing stopped him, he would wait until he was absolutely sure none of his teammates would get hit, then try to thrust the tree at the Alpha Female in such a way that the longest part would be parallel to the beast. That way, the force of the plant's movement and the weight of it would push the wolf into the gorge, removing one of the group's enemies from their fight. Adam had no idea if this creature could "jump on light" like the male one could, but it seemed reasonable that she couldn't do that since the two wolves looked different from one another. He may not have been able to strike this beast with a sword or lightning bolt, but the man was determined to do what he could to help.

I'm excited to see what everyone thinks of to fight the wolves and how they react to the situation! If anyone wants to collaborate with me on a response, feel free to send me a PM.

Adam was tense as he continued his work on demolishing the bridge he had just built; wolves were crossing it and they did not look friendly at all! Still, he focused on the task at hand, wanting to protect his team the best he could. Ultimately, the man was relieved to see two wolves go down into the gorge, but alarmed at the two bigger ones that had decided to surround him. Surround him in a place that had nothing in the way of plant life for an easy defense. This would not be easy and the Druid had no idea what to do.

He was quite grateful to see the group spring into action and help him! Fenna bravely attacking the Alpha Female, James casting his buff, and even Zell's concern about him getting back to the formation were all appreciated. Adam was happiest to see MacKensie charge in though, shooting the Alpha Male and grabbing his hand. For a split second, the man's thoughts drifted away from the battle. Does this mean she likes me-no get your head back to reality Adam, she's just helping a friend, you need to help her and the others too! He did what he told himself, holding her hand as the pair ran back to the safety of the team. And indeed, the Druid did want to help his team the same way they had helped him. Calm down and think, Adam…what should you do? He felt a sort of energy as he did this, but the red-eyed man didn't know what it was or have time to give it much consideration; they were all in danger, after all.

Instead, he decided to help Fenna, since she was still in combat with the Alpha Female and therefore in the most danger. Adam focused his energy on a patch of dirt, similar to the one he used to grow the trees on the other side of the pit, and tried as stealthily as possible to grow three strong vines out of the ground. Then he would attempt to sneak them around as needed and surprise the wolf by wrapping them its two hind legs and rattlesnake-like tail, and if that worked, focusing his energy on restricting the creature's movement as much as possible so Fenna could fight at an advantage. The Druid just hoped that it would help.

Gray paid attention as his friends all spoke in response to his plan. First was Faye, who was enthusiastic as always. He could always count on her to cheer things up on a bad day, and couldn't help chuckling a bit when she asked about money. The Machop wasn't laughing at her, he knew her background; he was just amused, and nodded as Star explained the concept of paper that humans placed value in. Sometimes the people's paper money had pictures of other humans on it too, as if they needed more ways to stroke their egos.

Of course, the Eevee saw this as a way to help others. She was very kind that way. And Vixen supported the plan also, making a good point about the robot. She was a guarded sort, but Gray knew he could count on her to help the team. Craven was the most nervous about things, but that was typical for him. The Machop knew the Gastly was quite capable, even if the latter didn't believe it himself.

"Of course!" Gray declared to his ethereal friend. "We couldn't succeed without you!" At this, he gave Craven a confident thumbs up. "Any of you, really. Anyway, Vixen does make a good point, but I have prepared for that." Saying this, he pulled out a bag of clothes from behind a box, starting to dress the robot as he talked more. "We give the thing a quiet personality; that'll help it blend into the crowd." The process of giving the machine clothing was an awkward process at times, since the machine was taller than him, but Gray was making progress. The ensemble the Machop chose for the robot included a thick tan sweatshirt with the hood up, a black pair of sunglasses with a matching scarf wrapped around the machine's face, and a pair of blue jeans. "Also, I spent the night reading this thing's instructions. I'll be able to control it myself!"

"It's pretty advanced stuff, honestly." That line came from the mouth of the robot with a voice almost exactly the same as the Machop's, even while the Pokemon didn't appear to be doing anything. Someone would have to pay extremely close attention to notice it sounded artificial at all. After that cool demonstration, it was time for the part Gray dreaded. With a sigh, the Machop resumed speaking. "Unfortunately, I will have to have the robot 'catch' you all. I'm not going to hold you captive like some human, but we can't fight gym battles and stuff unless you're caught. I'll just let you all out of the Pokeballs once it's done. I did this myself earlier, so I know it'll work. At least this way we can be healed at Pokemon Centers." Saying this, the Machop set down a Pokeball in front of each of his friends. "Just touch it and you'll be inside."

@ZapdosCheers sham! I'll keep an eye out for it xD

@Zool

(Actually I don't know what a sham is in this context.)

@Zool good post, I'll start working on mine tomorrow! You gave me a good setup for it.

Pokemon as a Pokemon Trainer: an Adventure in Kanto

I just wanted to see if anyone was working on a CS before I post, since it will be easier to have new players join prior to this. Let me know, thanks!

@Bright_Ops it is not too late to join, we have one slot left. I do want to start writing my response to everyone though, so if you could get a CS in quickly, that would be appreciated. Otherwise I'll have to think of a way to put your character into the story after the start and that would require some thinking.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Adam began reinforcing his makeshift bridge with vines while he watched MacKensie and Zell cross it. It might have been overkill, but overkill was better than an actual person being killed because he wasn't careful. The swordsman, however, apparently did not share the Druid's sentiment in this regard, as Zell looked over the edge of the death pit and proceeded to almost fall into it. A combination of a little anger and concern arose in the red-eyed man as he started to prepare a spell, but MacKensie was quicker and she was able to save the armored man. Certainly impressive on her part; the woman had displayed her ability to use this new weaponry ability (magic? superpower? whatever it was) earlier and it seemed like she had quickly mastered it.

James' reaction was a much more vulgar approximation of what had been in the Druid's head earlier. His heart was in the right place, which made Adam trust him more with strategic decisions. Heck, the man's decision earlier to charge forward had proven to be correct. Maybe he could-

Just then, MacKensie interrupted his thoughts with news of half-eaten corpses and overgrown flies in the rightmost passage. Definitely not going there, the man thought. He was grateful somebody was taking all of this seriously, as Zell certainly wasn't. His life gets saved and he jokes about it? Yeah, James wasn't going to be the only one to give him a few words of advice today. That would have to wait though, as Lillianna saying the left path wasn't a good one and then proceeding to talk to herself seemed to be more of an immediate concern. What was that all about?

"Ok, so one of the dead spirits here just let me know there is a small pack of direwolves coming from the south. I don't care if I sound crazy, and I don't know if these wolves followed us here or are from here already, but we need to get ready for an attack from our rear. 

Now."

"Right, the 'Spirit Magic' you mentioned. I was wondering what that was about." Adam's tone in his response indicated that he didn't find the idea of being told by a ghost that they were in danger of being attacked crazy at all. "Well, I should-"

MacKensie accidentally spoke at the same time, suggesting he destroy the bridge.

"Do exactly that, yes" the man continued with a chuckle. Great minds thought alike, he supposed.

"I've got work to do. Be smart, everyone. This last, he said while looking directly at Zell. That was all the attention he could spare the swordsman for now; blocking the path that monsters could use to attack the team seemed like the higher priority. True to that purpose, Adam went to the bridge and began the process of dismantling it. First, he would attempt to remove any supplemental vines that were there, the smaller plants being easier to manipulate. Then, if that succeeded, the man would try to pull the trees out of the ground, one at a time. This would take somewhat more focus and concentration, as the Druid had purposely given them strong root systems so they could carry the weight of humans while being horizontal. If this worked, the nature manipulator would join his group again, ready to help as needed, whether it be with navigating the Hillocks or fighting the creatures within it.
