Chevaleresse

Hey, there's multiple plotlines planned that will occur simultaneously. This one is simply starting a bit ahead of the others. I could always just have Vixen fade into the background for a while, too.

Blair rolled up to the museum, surprised to see a teacher there. She quickly parked the motorcycle and made her way to the entrance. She didn't quite catch what he said to the employee, though, so she chose to ignore it. "What are you doing here today, Professor?"

"Hey. No going easy, alright? We're both gonna do our best here." It was sort of paradoxical; he wanted Ryan to win but at the same time hadn't wanted this to happen. Damnit, either way this works out is going to be shitty, I can feel it. He sighed quietly. Whatever. Worrying about it's only going to make things worse, and it doesn't get much worse than 'prophecy of impending doom.' "Reina, you've got this," he said as he tossed out the ball containing the Tyrunt. As she was released, she struck a regal pose, looking down her nose at the Luxio as she analyzed her opponent.

Nagi and Bark The man simply pressed the button to go to the roof with his free hand, continuing to ignore the presence of the two in the elevator. Faust He made it down without any issues; this stairwell ran from top floor to ground, and access to the other floors was controlled by checkpoints and locked doors at the landings. He might have gotten a strange look or two from the guards at these, but none of them made a move. Gavriil "Good. Not the most elegant choice for a weapon, but then again subtlety is rarely a part of our work. Now that you have that, I want you to familiarize yourself with your new strength and speed. Attack me." Noriko remained watching Gavriil after giving her next command. She didn't seem particularly worried about being harmed.

Okay, so the current interactions are pre-battle?

What's the timeline like here, exactly?

Faust "Some refer to me as Kaneus. I would hesitate to thank me for this; cleaning up after magi like yourself is, after all, benefitting myself as well." The man shrugged. "I can guess at your purpose here, however. Something seems to be causing a disturbance around here, though. . ." He squinted at Faust for a moment. "Hmm. I don't suppose you're from one of the factions? Regardless, I should be getting out of your way." He made a lazy wave at the stairwell. "That will take you further down." Nagi and Bark The man slid past Bark listlessly, not even acknowledging his presence except to avoid bumping into him. He stumbled slightly as Nagi collided with him on her way into the elevator, but still didn't react. His fist was still curled about whatever he had picked up earlier, however.

Lucas was too tired to evade, and the attack hit squarely, sending the Kirlia flying across the arena to hit the bars of the cage hard. Kage quickly recalled him before any further damage could be done. "Hey, what the hell man? You really want to play this game?" In reality, he wouldn't order a full-power attack on a weakened Pokemon just because of its trainer - but Mareek didn't know that. "Al'Thor." He tossed the ball into the cage, revealing the Metang. If one looked closely, they could see the hint of a look of determination in his red eyes. "Let's get ready for this." The Metang bobbed up and down slightly before beginning to wave its arms in front of it, scraping them back and forth while leaving traces of glowing light that formed a screen against damage.

Uptown Nagi The man shuffled his way toward one of the smaller office buildings; this one was used primarily for low-level functions such as customer service, and as such was not locked down nearly as tightly as the corporate office she had just left. He made a beeline - well, if you could call it a beeline at his sluggish pace - for the elevator inside. If anyone was supposed to be controlling access to the building's floors, they were either distracted or not around. Bark "Well, you'll just have to come back later then," the woman at the desk told Bark's back. Typical corporate espionage tactics. Or worse; there had been a lot of foul play in the area lately. 'Suicides,' they called them, but what happened to the former CEO definitely wasn't a suicide. If Bark had lagged a bit as he left, he might have heard the faint sound of a firearm being adjusted behind the desk. Bark exited the office without issues. No one really cared about people going out. If he was quick, he might have been able to spot the man Nagi was following at that moment.

As the bolts arced toward Lucas, the little Ralts began to glow brightly as he leapt up into the air to avoid the electrified floor. As he came down in a graceful arc, he ceased glowing, revealing his new form, one more suited to that sort of maneuver. The now-Kirlia took the impact of the remainder of the attack before firing off a wave of telekinetic energy at his opponent. After his dance-like maneuver ended, however, he tottered on his toes - Lucas was clearly out of stamina, and almost helpless toward what was about to happen. Kage was too busy gaping at what had just happened to give him an order immediately; he hadn't expected his lifetime companion to decide he was ready right now.

Would it be powerplaying if I had Lucas evolve right now? He is above level 20, and this is the situation I had planned in my head.

Takeshi's place "Alright, cool, looks like you've all got that. So, I think the next thing is to try and summon a weapon of some variety, unless you want to just punch things or shoot beams from your palms or something. I'll demonstrate." He glowed for a moment, and the transformation was visible; it started at his extremities and progressed inward, drawing lines across his limbs until he was in the form from the previous night. Then, he stuck his arm straight out in front of himself and focused. A bright greenish-teal light seemed to gather itself, motes of it appearing from nowhere and combining, until they coalesced into an extremely long blade, identical to the one he had wielded before. "Try to pick something you'd be comfortable with. The more practice you get with something, the less energy you'll use to do it. You can change around, but I don't recommend it. Doing this is a lot like transforming, except you try to picture the object and focus your energy into that shape." Uptown Bark "Well then, I'll be glad to deliver these documents to Mr. Johnson when he gets back." She said this as she snatched the envelope away and put it somewhere behind the desk - a computerized beep sounded as she did so. "Now, can I help you with anything else?" Her voice dripped the sort of sickly cheeriness that one would expect from a daycare provider, or maybe a clerk on the verge of strangling a customer. Nagi The employee elevator moved quickly, and soon enough she was back on the ground. She could see the individual from before bending over to pick up an object - it seemed to be one of the focal points she had sensed before. Nothing seemed to happen for a moment, until the person seemed to slump slightly while they held it. It was too small to actually see what the object was, but it seemed to be draining their energy. A dull, glazed-over look took over the unfortunate man's face, and his arms fell limply to his sides, one still clutching whatever it was. The object seemed to have vanished from his mind, however, as he continued in the direction he had been moving previously with a listless walk, almost a shuffle.

The Ralts collapsed the storm of leaves inward, cutting at the Cubone from every angle and colliding with the incoming attack. One of the spears managed to break through, colliding with Lucas and sending him reeling, but his boosted mental defenses helped him weather the blow.

yay raid buddies

You've got this bud, I know it. Lucas started to dodge the incoming projectile, but only managed to evade enough that it clipped him and sent him spinning rather than hitting head-on. Again, more glowing leaves appeared around the Ralts despite his rotation, adding to the brilliant mess that was the cage already. The leaves, twisted dimensions, and the light given off by the Cubone's lightning attacks would have combined to make it virtually impossible to see - but that wasn't a problem for Kage. The leaves that Lucas had fired swirled around Nemo, closing in for the hit.

i'll just close this for ya

7/10 It looks nice, but doesn't really command attention.

It's pretty much impossible to disrupt communication between Kage and Lucas, lol. Seeing as the latter is psychic. (Well, unless you knock one of them out. But, well, that's kind of the point, isn't it?)

Kage vs. Mareek "I don't think you got the point. Lucas, now!" The Ralt's eyes briefly became visible as his energy flared, summoning a barrage of scintillating leaves that flew unerringly toward the incoming projectile - and, by extension, the one who fired it. The light in the room, already twisted about by the strange psychic effects created by Lucas, flickered and reflected between the magical leaves, putting on quite the light show and making it more difficult to actually see what was going on by the second. ((it's up to you whether or not that actually stops the incoming hit at all, cancels out, or breaks it and continues))

no
