Looking for Pack

[rdsr]

Aisa was... Well... Bored was perhaps the best description. She and Khai had spent some time Bonding with Kali, the shiny Vulpix the headmaster had given them. Most of the student body avoided them. Though Aisa was perhaps the most harmless looking Pokemorph they had ever seen, she was still to much of an unknown quantity for them to try and make friends. Not she would have let them, Since she still disliked Humans as much as ever.

But the fact remained that the ever active Aisa had run out of things to do. There was only so many times she and Kali could play fetch before they both went mad. Which brought them to here, Standing on the expertly tended lawn around the Academy, Trying to work out what to do next. The few students around them, gave the threesome funny looks, Since Aisa refused to keep Kali in a pokeball. The Gardevoir pokemorph had spent to much of her life locked up in small spaces to wish such a thing on anyone else, though she could understand the usefulness of a pokeball when it came to transporting an injured pokemon.

In any case, Aisa needed something to do, and Exploring seemed like just the thing. The young 'morph set out across the lawn, headed for one of the wilder looking areas, where the grass was long, almost tall enough to each her shoulder in places. It would be the perfect place to explore, and maybe find some new pokemon to join their pack.

The trees were, for the most part, silent. Of course, trees don't tend to talk, unless they're Sudowoodo. Or if the wind was blowing. Which it wasn't currently.

This means that one might find it quite odd when suddenly, a loud crashing noise could be heard through the trees. One rather large tree in particular was shaking, and a few leaves fluttered through the air. It was quite a ways from Aisa, but the noise could be heard, in fact quite well due to the previous silence.

If that wasn't suspicious enough, suddenly out from the trees ran a Zigzagoon. It looked pretty bruised, and it was running from the direction of the tree which had just been shaking. What was going on?

[rdsr]

Aisa looked about as she heard the rustling of trees. That was odd, There was no breeze today to be making them shift about like that. She frowned as she saw a rather battered looking Zigzagoon come bursting out of the trees, and go rushing through the grass. Well... that answered one question, but raised a whole bunch more.

The young 'morph looked at Khai and Kali. A grin crossed her face, and a simple gesture had the Alakazam daemon and the Shiny Vulpix racing after the Part Gardevior.

Skidding to a halt into of the Zigzagoon, Aisa looked at the rather unhappy pokemon and asked "Are you Alright? What's going on?" She knelt down to get a better look at the tiny Raccoon pokemon. Khai stood behind and slightly to one side of the girl, his eyes fixed on the trees, watching to see if there was any danger. Kali leaned out to sniff the Zigzagoon, and then ducked behind Aisa.

[Halofire]

The Zigzagoon was clearly highly agitated, and it would take a lot to get any kind of sense out of him. ~There, back there, it's back!~[/color] Whatever "it" was had yet to be seen. Meanwhile, the tree was still shaking, as if something was ramming against it, or cutting at it, or otherwise applying a hard amount of pressure to it. Whatever was doing this to tree, it was obvious the tree wouldn't last long; with every shake, it wobbled more violently, threatening to crash down into the forest, which would be hazardous for students and Pokemon alike.[/size]

[rdsr]

Aisa frowned as the Zigzagoon started babbling about 'it' being back. What ever 'it' was it had the Raccoon pokemon running scared. Aisa wondered if 'It' was a hunter. She'd met a few during her years in the wild. But no, They likely wouldn't allow hunters here.

The 'morph looked down at Kali and then over at Khai. A grin spread across her face "Let's go see!" Aisa stood and side stepped the Zigzagoon, Headed straight for the shifting shaking tree. Kali sighed and trotted after her trainer, While Khai took a moment too make sure the Zigzagoon was truly ok, beofre he followed his human.

[Halofire]

The Zigzagoon shook, wondering why the Pokemon were running towards the shaking. Hadn't they heard? (He also hadn't yet realized that Aisa was a 'morph rather than a Pokemon). He turned and followed, while cursing himself for doing so.

Meanwhile, at the tree could be seen a giant shining Scyther... Why was it giant and shining? Glowing red lights for eyes and strange beeping signaled it wasn't really a Pokemon, but a robot! Smaller trees lay everywhere, slashed down and seeping sap as if bleeding. The strange robo-Scyther raised another scythe-like claw to cut at the giant tree; it glinted harshly and unnaturally in the sun.

Meanwhile, standing among the wreckage of trees was a small green pokemon with soething like a sapling on its head - a Turtwig. It looked as if it was barely standing, but it charged at the robotic scyther in a desperate Tackle attack, trying to protect the tree. He rammed his head on what was, to demonstrate size comparison, the back of the robo-Scyther's lower leg. The head of it turned and the red eyes glared at the Turtwig. With a creak it turned and raised its glittering scythe once more, this time to slash at the Turtwig. Meanwhile, the Turtwig was panting heavily; it had obviously been fighting a while. It might not be able to dodge the scythe's attack.

[rdsr]

Kali was startled to see the sudden change in Aisa and Khai, as they came upon a turtwig fighting what seemed to be an oversized robotic scyther. The hyper active Aisa was gone, As the Gardevior pokemorph stood still, red eyes taking in every part of the scene. All the animation and joy seemed to be gone from her eyes, they had gone flat and dull, the only sign of emotion a tiny flicker of anger.

The conditioning Aisa had been subjected too over the course her life had just kicked in... and it was time for everyone to be afraid. Aisa had been a prototype for a battle 'morph, trained in the art of combat. Her mind identifying the robot as a threat, she had reacted the way her training had taught her. all her emotions were pushed to one side, her mind becoming cold and calculating as she considered the best way to take the robot down. Aisa was just fortunate that all her training had been centred around fighting robots such as this one, and not real pokemon, otherwise she would have been in deep trouble in a trainers battle.

The gardevior morph pulled a handful of pebbles form the ground. A combination of Muscles and psychic power, launched the rocks through the air. The young woman was hopeing to hit the robot's glowing eyes, take out the sensors there. Do that and it aught to be easier to defeat.

Khai's mind reached, all the power of a fully grown Alakazam at the Daemon's control. The affects of the conditioning were much less on him than his 'human' half, But he still found himself looking at the situation with a logic far colder than normal, even for him. His power lashed out, Simultaneously trying to stop the decent of the blade, and pull the turtwig over to him, out of harms way.

Kali watched all this, and then looked over at the Zigzagoon that had followed them back. ~We should help them!~ She barked. Having said so, she began to charge an energy ball, her strongest attack. The golden Vulpix judged her Timing and launched the multicoloured ball of energy at the Robot Scyther.

---

OOC: Hope its ok for Aisa and Khai to be fighting the robo scyther, as well as their pokemon. I couldn't remember exactly what energy ball looked like, and its 3am so I'm not going looking for my DS to find out. If I'm thinking of the wrong attack in my description, let me know and I'll fix it.

[Halofire]

<ooc> It's okay for them to, at least as far as I know, but since it's centered around the Pokemon, we try to keep it to a minimum. You haven't crossed that yet, so it's okay.

<ic> The giant scythe stopped in midair as Khai's psychic powers interefered with its descent, and it shook as the robot continued to attempt to slice downwards, even though the Turtwig had slid backwards towards the Alakazam and out of harm's way. Then the rocks hit it, shattering one eye, in which a broken red light bulb and a few other flashing lights, as well as a live wire, could be seen. It looked up at Aisa and then was struck in what for any normal Scyther would be its jaw by the Vulpix's Energy Ball attack. Unfortunately for Kali, it was made of metal and its properties were much like a Steel-type's; the Grass-type move didn't do much damage to it, although it did seem to sense the impact; it raised its scythe and looked at the shiny Vulpix, identifying a new target. It swung its blade down again, this time at the fox.

The Zigzagoon, meanwhile, thought hard about what he could do to help. The only real move he knew was Tackle, and that wouldn't do much to the metal robot. Still he had to try; after all, these brave Pokemon were trying, weren't they? He tackled the robot in the leg, which was quite inaffective, but nonetheless he backed up and did it again, hoping to maybe get it to lose its balance and fall over.

[rdsr]

Aisa frowned as she saw her rocks hit, and then Kali's energyball. it was made of metal... kinda like a steel type.... What sort of attacks were good against Steel types? As her mind worked she launched another set of rocks at the Robo-Scyther's other eye.... and then saw where its blades were now aiming. All of her training broke at that moment, When she saw one of her 'pack' in danger.

"Kali!" The young 'Morph dove for her pokemon. She grabbed up the fire type, curling her body around the shiny vulpix. Her momentum carried them into the nearest tree. Aisa uncurled slowly, One hand rubbing her head where she had hit the tree. Slightly unfocused red eyes looked at the vulpix in her lap. "You Ok Kali?" The vulpix nodded ~I'm fine~ The shiny put her forepaws on Aisa's shoulder and licked her cheek.

~Now lets go deal with that thing~ Aisa nodded and carefully hauled herself to her feet. The young Gardevoir hybrid winced as she put her weight onto her left leg. Looking down she saw a slice in her 'skirt' from her waist to the bottom edge. The slice also extended a fair way into her leg, running from just above her knee to just below her ankle. For now it wasn't bleeding much, just a trickle, but any sudden movement might make it worse. "That's gonna hurt" for now the adrenalin running through her body kept the pain at bay, But the young woman knew that once the chemical was gone... She'd likely be unable to move.

Limping she made her way back to Khai and the others. "Your hurt" The Alakazam daemon stated. He was using his powers to throw various things at the Robo-Scyther, hopeing to distract it long enough for one of the pokemon to get in a decent hit.

"Khai, its made of metal... So it should have properties similar to a Steel type pokemon, Right?" The Daemon's eyes widened as he followed her train of thought "Fire. Fighting. Ground. Those three are best against a steel type" He said.

Both of them looked at the Vulpix between them and then at the Zigzagoon, how had just tackled the Robot's legs. "Zigzagoon! If you've Got any Ground type Moves, Use them!" Aisa yelled.

She looked at Kali "Kali get as close as you can, and then use ember!" The shiny took of at a dead run, dodging and weaving so that the robot would have a harder time getting a lock on her to hit with its blades. The small fox pokemon Ran in a circle behind the Robo-Scyther. She took a chance, Jumping onto its back. A thin stream of weak fire Came from her jaws as she released her Ember attack at its head.

Though she never took her eyes off her Vulpix, Aisa spoke to the battered turtwig that stood behind Khai. "Turtwig? Do you have any ground type attacks? If you do, now's the time to use them"

[Halofire]

The Robo-Scyther's claw struck the ground, sending up showers of dirt, but the Vulpix had not been hit due to Aisa's endeavers. Another rock hit its head; one sent by Khai. The remaining red eye gleamed as it locked onto Khai, raising its scythe once more. Just hen, something hot began melting the metal and circuitry on the back of its head; the 'morph's Vulpix's Embers were doing quite a bit of damage.

Meanwhile, the Turtwig and Zigzagoon simply looked at each other. Neither of them knew any Ground-type moves. But they knew what they could do. They both charged simultaneously at the robot's leg in a tackle, jumping in unison at the middle of the leg, and then a reverbrating pound could be heard as they rammed into it. The Robo-Scyther wobbled, then fell on its side with a loud crash. The red light on the side of its head blinked, but it couldn't move anymore, and it couldn't attack like this, nor could it get up.

[rdsr]

As the Robot went down, Kali was flung from its back, hitting a tree with a solid 'thunk'. The shiny vulpix slid down the trunk till she hit the ground. Slowly sitting up she shook her head, a dazed expression in her eyes. ~Owwie~ She pulled herself back onto her feet nad made her way to Aisa and the others, limping slightly each time her rear left leg touched the ground.

Aisa and Khai cheered as the Robo-Scyther went down and failed to get back up. Digging in the small bag she carried on her belt, Aisa pulled out two length's of strong, Thin rope. The Gardevoir Pokemorph tossed on length to Khai, and the pair tied the Robot's arms and legs.

Once the Robot was secured, She looked at Kali and the two wild pokemon that had been helping her, and then back at the Robot. The young morph sighed. She needed to report this to the headmaster. Much a she was loathe to have anything to do with most human's, He had treated her with respect, and he deserved to know what was going on in his territory.

"We need to take this up to the school. Khai? Do you think you can lift it?" Red eyes looked at the Alakazam Daemon. He nodded slowly "I should be able to." Khai walked around the Robot Slowly, Gauging how heavy it would be and how much energy it would take to lift it psychiclly. He could do it, But it would be tiring, He'd not had to lift such a heavy object in some time.

Aisa slowly knelt down so she could talk to the two wild pokemon. "Thank you both for your help" She took in their battered, bruised appearances "Are you two alright? There's supposed to be a nurse up at the school, I can take you to her if you want...." Aisa thought for a moment "But She might only treat caught pokemon......" She looked at the two pokemon again "Ok, Here's the deal. I'm a student up at the academy. I'd like for you two to join my pack, but I'm not going to make you. The way I see it you have three options." The young 'morph pulled out two pokeballs and held them out "You can join the pack, And I'll take you to the school nurse. You can choose not to join me, and I'll take you up there anyway. Or I can treat your wounds as Best I can here before I leave"

She looked at the pokeballs "I don't really like the idea of keeping my friends in these things, So if you do join, I can promise, you'll be spending as little time in them as possible."

Kali looked over the two pokemon, sniffing them both. ~Aisa is a good Alpha. She cares for her pack, and understands us. All she wants is a family. Not like so many of those human's, who would use us as fighting machines and nothing more.~

Used:
2xpokeball (Hopefully)

[Halofire]

The two Pokemon watched as the robot was secured and lifted, then listened to Aisa's offer. The Zigzagoon began to look hopeful, while the Turtwig was looking more reluctant. ~I think I'd better stay here, I do my best to protect this forest and I don't know any better way to do so except to remain here.~[/color] The Zigzagoon glanced at her breifly before looking back at Aisa and wagging his tail, saying happily, ~I'll join your team! You helped to get rid of that thing, which was great! I want to go with you!~[/color] Not even hesitating, he touched his nose to the Pokeball and was enveloped in a flash of red light. It shook for a second before laying still, the Zigzagoon inside not struggling to get out besides the first shock of being captured.

~And thank you for your offer to heal me, but I'll be fine. You should keep your items for your own Pokemon.~[/color] The Turtwig said politely before walking back towards the trees. She clearly didn't want any kind of help, maybe because of pride or some other reason, but she was soon gone.[/size]

[rdsr]

Aisa smiled as Zigzagoon touched his nose to the pokeball. The young 'Morph nodded as Turtwig declined her offer "Alright then, If your sure" Aisa wasn't too happy with letting the grass type go without at least trying to fix its wounds, But it was Turtwig's choice.

She looked down at Pokeball in her hand. At least she'd gotten a new friend out of all of this. After thinking for a moment, Aisa clipped the pokeball onto her belt next to Kali's pokeball, Without letting the Zigzagoon out. She then pulled out the Vulpix's pokeball.

"Kali, This will be easier if your in your pokeball." Her red eyes looked over her battered and limping friend "That way I only have to worry about getting myself up there, because I'll know that you and Zigzagoon are safe" The shiny Vulpix nodded ~Alright then. As long as you let us both out soon~ Aisa gently patted the Yellow Fox's head "Of course silly"

She held out the pokeball just like she'd seen other trainers do. "Kali, Return!" A thin beam of red light shot out of the sphere, hitting the shiny Vulpix and turning her to the same red light, which was then sucked back in.

The Part Gardevoir looked over at her Alakazam Daemon, who was floating the Robot-scyther. "Ready?" He asked. Aisa just nodded, and began to limp her way up to the main building of the Academy. The black armoured Alakazam followed behind, his face creased in concentration, as he worked to keep the Robot floating along between them.

[Halofire]

Luckily, it seemed they wouldn't have to walk far. The headmaster was quite taken to catching Pokemon in the forest for trainers, and so he was near the entrance with his Arcanine daemon and a Furret. Then he saw the giant gleaming metal of the robot (not like it's hard to miss) and shouted something unintelligible over the distance before running over, the fiery dog linked to him easily keeping pace. The Furret just stood there staring.

Finally, the headmaster reached Aisa and Khai, his eyes wide. The both of them looked tired, and Aisa had been limping. "Are you okay? What happened?" His eyes ranged curiously but cautiously over the floating robot, taking in the details, especially a little inscribed T in the metal. "Team Tsuasa..." he muttered under his breath.

[rdsr]

Aisa limped over to stand before the Headmaster "we found it over there" She pointed along the line of trees form the pointing they now stood at, between the entrance to the forest and the main grounds. "It was chopping down the trees and hurting the pokemon." Hse looked down at the metal Scyther "we had to stop it.... so we did. There was a turtwig that helped us, along with a zigzagoon. Some of the things they said... I don't think this was the first time its been here" She fingered the pokeballs on her belt "I've got Zigzagoon here if you want to talk to him about it. The turtwig went back into the forest"

As Aisa pulled the pokeball off her belt ready to let Zigzagoon out if she was asked to, Khai took over the story "We were bringing it back to show you, and then we were going to see the nurse." The Alakazam daemon looked over at his human"She's wont tell you, but Aisa got hurt rather badly as well as Kali and the two wild pokemon... though we can't really call Zigzagoon that any more" Red eyes glared at the Daemon. Aisa wasn't happy about him telling the Headmaster of her weakness.

OOC: Could I get Zigzagoon's information so I can add him to Aisa's PC?
