WARNING: BEAVER CROSSING

[equality]

Hey, Island residents! Do you like Bidoof? A lot? Great! Because you're going to get to meet a WHOLE BUNCH of them today!

It's a stampede! An uncountable number of the normal types, as well as a few of their older dual type cousins, are very determined to get from one unknown part of the Island to another, and they don't really care about what's in their way.

Fortunately, there's plenty of roofs to climb up on, and surely there are enough bore- I mean, kind people out there who are willing to share their perch or rescue you if you get stuck. Plus, the beavers themselves aren't all that tough (for the most part), so fighting your way through is an option, too... Whatever you choose to do, this mess isn't going to end until tomorrow morning. Have fun!

Mako looks down as well, contemplating.

"Is it normal for so many to be in one place? Even flying overhead with Etranger I couldn't see the end."

[rivalheroics]

No idea...oh, maybe it's migration season or something for them? [That's the only answer he can immediately think of as for why the Bidoof are in such a hurry to get from one side of the island to the other...]

[etranger]

Mako leans back, resting against Etranger's belly.

"...you sure you don't want a lift?"

She's holding up a different pokeball as she says this.

[rivalheroics]

Well... [How could he resist a pretty girl? Though, to be honest, he does have a means of getting off this roof, but maybe he should give the poor guy a break... ^^;;] ...Alright, if you don't mind! After all, it's not like I can stay up here on this roof forever...

[etranger]

Mako smiles and hits the button to open the pokeball.

...

WHAT IS THAT

Mako extends a hand and strokes the things...wings?

"Sigilyph, mind giving this guy a lift?"

That is not a Pokemon, it is a fever dream.

[rivalheroics]

[Oh my god what...]

That's...a "Sigilyph"? [That is one bizarre looking pokemon.] ...I'm guessing this is another Pokemon that's from Unova as well, right?

[etranger]

Beam.

"Yep!"

Is...is the bit on what looks like the head an eye, or are the eyes those two patches on the stomach?

Either way, it's looking at you.

[rivalheroics]

...Huh. [Yeah...even though he can't tell which of the eye patterns on this thing are its actual eyes, he definitely feels like he's being stared at. Also he's sort of staring back and trying to figure out how on earth this thing would be able to give him a lift...]

[etranger]

Mako scrambles back up on Etranger.

Sigilyph, meanwhile, spins in place and begins glowing faintly. Between it and you, a glowing blue disc appears.

Apparently, it's a Psychic type.

[rivalheroics]

Oh! [That's pretty cool actually. Jun stares at the disc a bit, before turning his attention towards Mako.] Do I need to get on this or something?

[Forgive us, we've never had a lift via Psychic-type before until now.]

[etranger]

Nod nod.

"It's really fun! Sigilyph is very good at this."

[rivalheroics]

Okay, gotcha! [Well, we'll take your word for it, so he's getting onto that disc now!]

[etranger]

As you step onto the disc, it enfolds you gently, like the finest beanbag chair you have ever sat in. Sigilyph spins in place once more and Mako waves to it.

"So which way?"

[rivalheroics]

[Oh wow, that's really cool...]

Oh, uh...any direction's fine! Preferably in a direction that doesn't cross paths with the Bidoof's running around, anyway...

[etranger]

"Okay! Just gimme a second, first!"

Mako makes a signal to Etranger, who swoops low while Mako releases another pokeball, which releases a man-sized pokemon that seems to be basically made out of knives. As it lands in the middle of the stampede, Mako yells out an order.

"Capture plan 7!"

Without wasting a second, the pokemon releases a wide angle Thunder Wave, paralyzing a small group of the beavers, and then launches itself forward, both arms coming around for a rising False Swipe that knocks one of the Bidoof into the air. As Etranger swoops a little lower, Mako snags the Bidoof with a Heal Ball.

After recalling the pokemon on the ground, Mako rides Etranger back up to your level before signalling to Sigilyph to follow her.

"Let's go!"

[rivalheroics]

Heh, impressive!

[He jerks a thumb back towards the Bidoofs still remaining.] What was that Pokemon you used earlier to catch one of them?

[etranger]

Mako grins.

"Kamen Rider is a Bisharp!"

Yes, he's named Kamen Rider.

[rivalheroics]

A "Bisharp"...wow, your Pokemon are really cool... [Oh my gosh we seriously need to get more info about all the Unova Pokemon, there are clearly too many interesting ones to look at.]

[etranger]

Smile smile.

"Thanks!"

Oh hey look you have managed to find a place where there aren't any beavers how about that

"Wanna land here?"

[rivalheroics]

[Well he doesn't see any, so that must mean the coast is clear!]

Yeah, here should be good!

[etranger]

Well then time to land! There are no complications as Sigilyph gently sets you down.

Settling down, Mako recalls Sigilyph as Etranger curls up behind her. Pulling out a well-worn Pokeball, Mako triggers the release button.

The pokemon revealed is a massive, bipedal boar with a beard made of blazing flames. It eyes you speculatively as Mako leans back against the hydra.

"This is my starter, Hampyre! He's an Emboar."

...that name is at least three different puns at once.

[rivalheroics]

[That's an awesome name for it! Jun looks it over with interest.]

Wow...I bet Mitsumi would really like it if she was here to see him...oh! Would you like to see any of my Pokemon as well? I don't know if they are able to be found in Unova too or not, but it seems only fair since you've shown me yours, right?

[etranger]

"Sure!"

Mako is excited!

[rivalheroics]

[Jun takes out a pokeball of his own before tossing it. The Pokemon revealed is a pretty large bird of brown-coloring, staring a bit intently at Mako and her other Pokemon.]

This is my Staraptor! It was the very first Pokemon that I caught when I started out as a Trainer. [Which feels like ages ago to him due to weird island time shenanigans, haha... ^^;;]

[etranger]

"Ooo."

Mako stands up and inspects the bird.

"So this is what Staravia evolves into! Neat!"
