6/10 because it's boring but still somewhat amusing

Beast The creature sensed the incoming net right before it struck. It whirled in midair, tearing at the expanding field with sharp talons before righting itself and flying off. The air around it shimmered, and it vanished from sight as it pulled out of the range of any preternatural senses.

Takeshi's group He strolled down the stairs and walked toward the door. "Follow me." As he walked, he began explaining what they were doing. "So, I'm gonna show you around town. No, I don't care if you've lived here your whole life. This is different. I'll show you spots beasts tend to crop up, and try to teach you how to get around without attracting a lot of attention. I guess it might not be an issue for you guys but cops don't like the sight of me, so I stick to rooftops and alleys. Helps keep you fit, too." Takeshi patted his stomach as they moved through the dusty hallway of the abandoned apartment building. He squinted a bit as they left the darkened interior, the sunlight shining into his eyes. He stopped for a moment with a frown, then took off at a slightly increased pace. "Now's a good time to ask questions, by the way." Beast The ice and stone attack seemed to make some sort of impression on the monster, and when the spinning blades hit it definitely noticed, though the targeted organs remained mostly intact. It made another hissing noise, but this one was different. It had an almost electrical undertone to it, and it was an intake rather than an exhalation. Before anyone could react, the exhalation came in the form of a roiling packet of purplish energy that shot toward the ground and detonated, throwing everyone nearby into the air. The impulse was even felt by Faust. The beast scrambled up one of the nearby walls vertically, and then the dark wings stretched and carried the beast away, quick as the wind itself. . . Gavriil Noriko spotted their newest recruit from a side hall. "It's you. Good. Follow me." The young woman's tone left no room for questions. "Now that you've rested, you're ready for the next part of your training. Not that you're done with the first, mind you; this will simply buy time for your energy to build itself back up." She walked quickly with a smooth gait through the halls until she met the boy from before, Kouta. "You'll be backing me up for this patrol." He looked up nervously at Gavriil, but said nothing. They headed out of the warehouse that contained the Protector base. Instead of heading further into the section of town they were in, however - a rather poor area, by all appearances - and instead headed toward the commercial districts. "W-Where are we going?" the green-haired boy asked. "This isn't even the dangerous patrol route." "I heard about something and I want to see it for myself." The blue-haired girl replied without looking back toward Kouta, who didn't seem to mind this behavior at all. "Couldn't you send someone else?" "No." It took them a good amount of time to reach the district, and even more to reach where Noriko was headed. "Pay attention," Noriko told Gavriil along the way. "Don't block out any hunches or strange feelings, and learn the general layout of the area." Eventually, she stopped for a moment as the expression on her face rapidly grew more concerned. Suddenly, she flashed and transformed. Kouta, sensing her mood, followed her without questioning it. She reached out and firmly grasped Gavriil's wrist. "Hold on." He had a short moment to react before she leapt into the air, carried upward on a gust of wind. The fight in the alleyway became visible, and she fired off one of her spears just in time for the beast to flee, with the weapon slamming into the concrete where it stood. Flying forward rapidly, her landing buffeted those nearby with the rapid air flow. She came back up into a ready guard, eyeing them all cautiously. Kouta stood further back. His physical appearance was unchanged, but he wore a chestplate and bracers that appeared to be made of finely worked iron. They were encrusted with some sort of nearly transparent greenish crystal at the edges, and the chestplate had two lines of the stuff running diagonally across it and connecting the corners. He also appeared to have wings made of the same substance, and he held a bow that was about three quarters of his height and made of a dark, angular material.

mmhmm

Moving to the next scene regardless of who replies tomorrow night after I get home. Short posts are better than nothing at the moment, assuming you haven't posted yet.

"Not sure. It's kinda hard for me to tell if something's off. It did seem like that Cubone's Thunder Punch wasn't as strong as you would think from all those sparks. Um, I don't know what else there was. Lucas tried to tell me something about Mareek, but I figured he was just jittery for the battle." Kage was trying to think of anything that had happened in the battle that was extraordinary, replaying it mentally. It obviously wasn't a pleasant experience.

use GIMP, upload to imgur, that's what i did.

Hiroki was so excited. She skimmed through the first document, seeing nothing too unusual. She slowed down for a moment, however, to write her signature, making sure her hands didn't shake while doing so. Afterward, she penned in her name on the indicated line. Switching to the other paper, she gave it another cursory read and was about to sign it when she stopped. Hold up, death? With a frown, she went back and reread the document, actually making sure she read every word. Uhm, why do I have to waive responsibility for them KILLING me? This is kinda weird... but I don't think I'm getting another chance at this. Besides, if I die my fans will make sure I get payback~. She signed the waiver, still wondering to herself about what rights she was giving up.

Locking.

that says after school bruh

Kage thought for a moment. "You know what, normally I would say yeah, but no, I'm not really okay. A Pokemon basically died right in front of me and I didn't do anything to stop it." This statement didn''t begin to cover how he truly felt about the situation, but then, he didn't plan on letting anyone know the full extent either way.

"Alright. Seriously, though, let me know if you need help. Please." His tone was almost insistent. Kage turned to go back to the desk, assuming Mareek would rather be left alone.

"These things happen." Yeah. Of course. I'm overreacting. It's not my fault. Kage shook his head, trying to free himself of the memory of the incident, at least momentarily. He tried to focus on making the situation better. Normally, he wasn't exactly the charitable type - people have to stand on their own two feet, helping only served to make them more vulnerable next time they fell down - but this was a unique situation. "Mareek," he called out as he moved toward the trainer. "I know we don't really know one another that well, but there's gotta be something I can do to help here."

As soon as her number flickered across the screen, Hiroki let out a "YES" so loud she flinched at her own volume. Still, she couldn't help jumping up and down, making high-pitched, indeterminate squeeing noises of sheer delight. She wasn't sure that her gamble would pay off but oh was it satisfying. She skittered off as quickly as possible toward the stage, half-dancing on her way there. She ignored the jealous or angry looks directed at her; well, more accurately, she didn't notice them.

"No. . ." Kage replied in an uncharacteristically faint voice. Normally he spoke with a decisive, confident tone, even in situations that didn't necessarily call for decisiveness or confidence, but this was almost a whisper. He shakily pulled Lucas's ball from his belt and handed it to the nurse. He had taken a pretty hard strike from Nemo. He cringed slightly at the thought. "I don't know what to do," he said in that same low voice. "It just. . . He just. . ." Kage slumped into a chair, defeated. "I can't imagine how that looked." I can't imagine what it will be like, talking to Ryan again after this. Talking to anyone. How can I?

Kage just stood there silently for a moment. There was no other way to respond, nothing he could do at this point. What he had caused was totally unacceptable in the deepest possible meaning of those words. To think that someone that was supposedly responsible for giving life and love to Pokemon was directly involved in the death of one. It was hypocrisy of the worst kind. How could he even trust himself around his own Pokemon? He should have been able to tell that there was something wrong. He should have backed off, he should have tried to protect the Porygon, he should have done SOMETHING. Maybe if it had been a person that had gotten hurt, he would have been able to forgive himself. People were all kinds of stupid, and rarely as good as they tried to say they were. But Pokemon? He'd never heard of one doing anything even remotely malicious outside of human intervention. How could he call himself a breeder?

"I don't know that we have, either. I am Blair." She didn't really say anything else, as she wasn't in the mood to interact with other students at the moment.

Kage followed Mareek as quickly as possible back to the medical center. Damnit, damnit, damnit, damnit, damnit, this is all my fault. I should have done something, I shouldn't have had Lucas attack so hard, there was SOMETHING I could have done to prevent this. He sprinted after the other boy at top speed. He wasn't sure what he was going to do once he caught him, but all he knew was that he had to do something... if it was possible to pay for something like this. The blind breeder moved with what might have been startling agility to some; he was quite athletic, and it wasn't as difficult to navigate a crowd as one might think. Still, he did bump a few people along the way, though he managed to come up short of anything catastrophic. Once he reached the medical center, he found Mareek as quickly as possible with a bit of assistance from Lucas - who also needed a visit here, but not urgently. He ran over to him, then gasped out "I'm so sorry" between breaths.
