[ Nothing interesting on the video feed here, just a black-haired boy with his pikachu's head poking from the bottom of the screen. ]
Hi, my name's Red. I've got a couple of questions... I wanted to ask about first aid and the battle dome, and also if there's anybody that knows about fixing things? [ He looks away ] I don't have anything broken, but I wanted to have something looked at.
[ Right, anyway. Back to the screen. ]
But with the first aid... I was wondering if anyone had the time to help me see if I know what I'm doing? I got taught how to put on bandages a long time ago, but I don't think I was doing it right the last time I did it.
[ Maybe it had been fine, but a refresher would be good either way. ]
Anyway, then the battle dome - I wanted to know about what fighters train against in there. [ This was going to be hard, but ] I know people here have different abilities, and what we can handle is different too. I've tried creatures not from my world, but I guess...
[ What does he guess? He thinks, pinching his bottom lip in. ]
...I guess I just want to know if there's something better me and my pokémon can do. Everything's still challenging in the battle dome, but I want -- more? [ Um.
That sounds... bad? He fidgets, then shrugs. ] I don't know. I thought it'd be interesting to know what else we could fight on there. That's about it really.
Well... that's it. Bye.

Hey, Caius. [ He pauses, trying to think of how to continue... ] You fight with a sword, right? I want to practice with you sometime, if you've got the time.

[ Private voice to Caius (

[action]
Leaning on the weapon, it eyes the creatures.]
Not bad.
[And then again it attacks, this time hurling the giant weapon end over end like a missile!]
[action]
And then the monster's up, with its own wind back to it quicker. ]
Snor!
[ He wasn't oblivious to the enemy, but there's no time for him to get away. His arms go up to catch, defend, something like that, but still he's knocked back himself onto the ground, even to the same effect as the other.
Red knows the blow must've hurt with the spiked weapon, but he can't go over to him with the beast now up and his other two pokémon out on the field. He'll need to trust on Snorlax getting up himself. For now- ]
Pika, Double Team and electro ball again! Saur, Growth, and get ready for a Solar Beam!
[ Saur roars as her body appears to thicken, leaves turner greener and her flower growing wider. While that happens, Pikachu's on the move on all fours, daring to get nearest to the creature but keeping his distance. With a flicker, his body not only doubles, but triples -- and now there's three of the mouse pokémon going in a circle around him, body electrifying to build up another electric ball of electric. ]
[action]
His stride turns into a run and he leaps straight up into the air, slamming down into the ground not far from the little pokemon and causing a shockwave in the ground. Oni are spirits of the Earth as well as demons, so the ground around them ripples and showers of stone fly in all directions, but more prominently at Pikachu!]
[action]
So when Pikachu hits back onto the ground, he skids -- not unharmed, but not taken out. He focuses onto the oni, snarling, before giving up on the electro ball and aiming a thunderbolt at him. It was quicker, and he could be moving on his feet right afterwards.
Over for Venusaur, the top of her flower begins to gather at its centre the power necessary for the Solar Beam. And as for the oni's original target, Snorlax, he's now on his feet, helped up with the same weapon that had pushed him down and making his way towards the oni and Pikachu with it still in his hand. ]
Be careful, Pika!
[action]
And it turns on Snorlax, rushing at it, reaching out with some of it's power and calling the weapon to it. It rips free of Snor's grasp and flies into it's hand...but this act exposes it's back to Venusaur...]
[action]
But there's the fact it's going after that's more of a priority now, and the way it recalls its weapon back. Snorlax just spits out a roar, and waits for it to come at him with a challenging posture, opening out his arms. He knows what Venusaur he doing, so he's going to taunt the opponent than go rushing for them --
because there's going to be a beam going straight for the monster's back, which for the strength that Snorlax knows Venusaur can push out in the attack, it may just help push forward and knock the creature to them, and he'll be ready to get his attack on then.
If it goes like that at all. ]
[action]
Very good!
[Saori claps, walking over to inspect Snorlax for any real injuries.]
Very good indeed! You found his weakness. Probably by happenstance, but energy works very well against them. At least, non-electrical energy.
[action]
Venusaur shakes her body after the attack is gone and done, and goes to join over with the others. A little group up for the lot of them. ]
Didn't Pikachu do something? It still looked like he bothered the monster a little.
[action]
[action]
...We'll train with them more. [ The decision makes him smile confidently, look around at his team. ] We can try different tactics on them, and they're human-shaped too. [ for the most part ] It's the kind of foe we need.
[action]
[She smiles faintly and gives the Pokemon a little nod.]
And when you think they're easy, I'll show you some of the real threats my kind fight.
[action]
[ And he did appreciate it. Immensely. Anything for them all to get stronger. Actually, speaking about himself and getting stronger.. ]
I'm going to try and do more with my staff training too. I have a friend who knows how to use a sword, and he said he'd see about training with me. Or sometimes training with me anyway. [ Whenever he feels like kicking his butt, probably. ] I know you want me to and that guy to practice off each other one day, but I thought it would be good if I got to do it with others too.
[action]
[action]
[ uhhh. maybe. ]
[action]
[She'll do it, and be gentle.]
But no, of course I want you training with lots of people.
[action]
Did you want to try something now? If you don't have anywhere you want to be -- but my pokémon could have a rest, and then they could train again after us.
[action]
[She reaches out and calls a stick to her with a bit of wind, just a bamboo pole.]
Whenever you're ready.
