A Lighthearted Moment: Meeting the Mysterious Pokemon - Pokemon SV

"Good to see no harm's done.  You had me worried for a moment there."


As for Oz's question about why he's here, Seddi has a bit more to add to what Dodger said.

"After Dodger picked me up off of the Forsaken Beach yesterday, I eventually caught wind that he was looking into a particularly nasty critter that's calling that place its territory.  The very same one I was tellin' ya about, in fact.  I decided to swing by and have a chat with him about it.  Given we only just finished talkin' about it, I don't really blame that feline of his for goin' all out if he wanted to show me what he can do to somethin' far stronger.  Didn't need to take it out on your partners without warnin' though."

Back to talkin' to Dodger!

"Funnily enough, Oz is one of those interestin' folks I met yesterday that I was tellin' you about earlier.  Certainly a small world sometimes, isn't it?"

And back to Oz!

"Don't think I've ever heard of a Mega Hatterene before.  Looks like it has some serious firepower, too.  If I'm being honest, I was pretty impressed even though things didn't really work out the way you were expecting.  Might be tough for even my pokemon to keep up with that kind power!  There's always room for improvement, but you should give yourself and your partners a little more credit."

"*Whew* Me too, partner, me too..." 

The Dandy Man grimaces at the probable reason for Nyan's misbehaving, and he mutters something about 'not giving him nice treats too' , but otherwise he regains his composure once more, letting the two of you speak without comment. He was quite Keenly interested in seeing the dynamic between the two Strange but awesome fellows he happened to pick up by the beach - stuff and coincidences like that like that only happen in the storybooks, and he's always been one for a good yarn or two.

Your quip does get a somewhat intrigued response out of him, a raised eyebrow and a suddenly more intense look at Oz, before he lets out a chuckle and shakes his head. "No kidding? There's a small world, and then there's bumping shoulders as you're moving about! Well, I still feel like a pile of Pontya poo poo for what happened, but perhaps there's more to be 'gained' out of it - that sort of Lethality is the bare minimum of what most Malefics dish out when they're feeling Spiteful, onery, or both. Best be prepared for your partners to go through the meat grinder, even if you are prepared out the wazoo and have Fighters tougher than Steel. Better yet, have Full Restores and Max Revives at the ready - the later can even be used as a Held Item by Mons if you teach them right, though in most proper Battles that's Illegal. In Hunts or in the Wilds, though...well, go wild! I can teach you and your friends how, though it'd probably be best I show everyone going on the Hunt all at once than trying to daisychain the teaching."

Oz nod her head. "Now it makes sense. Well, it is a surprise. Yesterday, after our...meeting with...that person, I go to a beach to try to be alone and then go...well...alone I suppose." She looks at Dodger. "But I ended up meeting Dodge, and we become good friends. We had a blast yerterday in some amazing place called Afterlife. Recommend you go to that place someday if you got the chance."

She looks at Dodger and Seddi. "*Sigh* It is truth what you told me right? I still fearful in what to do about with that information. But in anyway of form, I will work to capture another Pokemon for my team. My Pokemons is strong, but I prefer to have backup just in case things get dice. I deeply care about my sisters as you see."

(...)

Oz show her amulet with the Mega Ring on it. "We never tried before that power, since we were more busy walking and traveling. Today was the first test of this power. And it was quite impressive!" She then get closer to Hecate and pat her. "And yeah, we still need room to work it, but we gonna get there. Speak of witch (heh, "witch")..."

Oz then look at Seddi. "Despite what happened, I still thrilled for battle, and my team could need some kind of training too! So how about it we have a fight Seddi? A 3x3 match? I could need your help later to get another Pokemon on my team, but I could help in work with your Pokemon training. I mean...we gonna face a Malefic Monstrum, and I would like to learn more about the fighting style of my allies if we gonna face such danger together. But only after I take care of my Pokemon health since they still a bit brused after the fight."

Dodger still looks bashful and contrite as you look over at him, but he does smile at the memory of the spectacle that happened last night. Your desire and fears do earn you an appraising look before another confident grin is sent your way.

"Yeap, it is. If you're looking for another Team Member that's capable of tangoing with one of them nasties on short notice....well, I can try scrounging up lead on that. Least I can do for someone willing to put their life on the line and after the horror show Nyan put you through. In the mean time I suggest poking around the Resident Distinct, The Ports, or the Military District - perhaps you can find some sellers of powerful and nice enough Mons for the task, though they won't come cheap, especially if you get one that is Trained for Hunting or Military Action. The Bounty Offices offices round the city might also have some choice critters on offer too, either by request or in stock, though they'd likely be rather unruly if they're recent Catches. The Government and Military District Offices usually has the 'best' , but getting them without a lot of red tape and Poke is Tough, even if you bring in a good 'nuff reason for trying to get one. Luckily for you the Afterlife is one such 'unofficial' *Finger Quotes* Bounty dive and hangout - perhaps you or your friends will have good Fortune in rustling something up! Between me vouching for ya and after last night you pretty much got a free pass to come and go as you please, though it you bring anyone it's on your head to make sure they don't make a mess of things - or at least make ones that'll earn you some laughs and jeers from the regulars. Got all that, sheela?"

Hecate blushes happily at your open affection, cuddling closer to you and using her hat hand to hug you. 

As for PVP Match - Hold them off until later, 'k mates? We still got a lot of PVE Stuff that needs to be explore before we get onto you guys making up your own stuff!

Seddi nods along as Oz recounts how she met Dodger and got the Mega Stone.  "Afterlife, eh?  Might go check it out when I get some time.  Still pretty busy right now, unfortunately.  And a Mega Stone in Galar of all places?  Hah!  What do ya know?  Guess the world's still got some surprises for those scientific types out there.  Sure musta surprised that Professor!  Now what was her name again...?  Was it...Sonia?  I remember reading a book by a Professor Sonia about that region's legends once.  Very mysterious stuff."

Oz's reminder about that challenge gets Seddi to refocus on the current moment and go back to smiling.  "Oh, don't worry, I've not forgotten about you challengin' me and my team last night.  And on my honor, you will get to battle me and my team."  He frowns slightly.  "Just not today probably.  Still got too much goin' on.  Gotta find my footin' in Sutalör still, and get the suits off my back so I can do what I do best.  Kinda hard to avoid them when you work in a governmental position."

Back to smiling   "But once I get a little more time to play around with and prepare for things as I please, you'll be the first to know, Oz.  Just remember to think about how hard you want the battle to be, 'cuz I've got some pretty strong partners myself.  On that note though, I told this to Bernhard and Dodger already, but Ianai is going to set up a little test for us to make sure we're ready for what's comin' up.  Thinkin' it'd be best to do it tomorrow night, give us a little more time to prepare for it.  Dodger won't be participatin' in it since he doesn't have much to prove, but he'll be swingin' around to meet everyone else and get in on our planning session for the hunt.  Planning to bring it up with everyone later, but I might as well tell you now while I have you here."

Welp, with that dealt with, Seddi is about ready to head to his next destination.  "Vernon said somethin' about setting up an appointment for a tour of the Survival Center this afternoon.  I'm plannin' to go check that out before scoping out the city for any potential trouble, then meeting back up with the Professor so she can explain what we're working on to the rest of y'all.  Suits want me to do a little policework still until I sign those legally binding documents concerning the hunt.  You're welcome to come with to this tour if you like.  Might even be we find somethin' useful there for the hunt.  If you got other plans though, that's fine by me as well.  Work just has me a bit tied down at the moment."

(...)  Oz was smiling and hug Hecate. "But she is my little sister, despite the difference of sizes, heh (Hecate reaction to the praise from Seddi and Oz Windos?)."

(...)

Before leaving Oz get close to Dodger and then bow in respect to him. "Again, thanks for the amazing night yesterday and today battle! I...I honestly didnt expect to meet someone and go in some dangerous mission. But I will try my best to keep everyone alive with my medic skills." Then she look at him in the eyes. "Thank you, for light my spark in be a medic again Dodger. I will never forget that my friend." 

And to Dodger surprise, Oz did give the Dandy Man a kiss in the cheek! To Oz a symbol of friendship, a symbol of forgiviness, and a token of thanks for everything Dodger did to her!

She looks at Hecate and tell her fellow Witch of the Forest. "What you think about a tour in the Survival Center sis? Still in the mood to stay out of the Pokeball for a little while to strech the body?"

...Your teasing causes her to puff up 'angrily' and briefly give you a noggie with her hat hand, though between her small smile and the warms of warmth she's giving off its clear she quite happy indeed with your affection. After all, you're practically her mother, given you've raised them all the way from Egg to now - what child doesn't love getting some well earnt attention?

The slick cruiser is taken aback by your sudden bold moves, going crosseyed for a second after you got up close and smooch~<3 him, before a luminous blush arouse and he bashfully rubbed the back his head, closing his eyes and grinning stupidly as he did so.

"Ah he he, woo~! Much obliged, sweet as sin Sheela! Heh heh, still got it! Promise the next battling date we have will go much smoother, and I'm always a phone call away if you need me. Promise!'

Hecate looks rather interested in exploring a place dedicated to Survival - which, as a War Witch, she is chiefly interested in - and nods at your inquiry. Working out those kinks and making sure he body was fully Recovered form her Fight with that curr would be most ideal, yes!

Off to the side Rabsca and Ceruledge are just minding their business, though both are giving the Dandy Man rather analytical looks for differing degree. Your sand roller appears frustrated, however - they can't seem to get a good read on them, despite their own talents in that area. Ceruledge...well, you already know how she feels about him.
