"Who's asking? Why, your mother's new friend."

: D

"Oh, by the way. Those blasted rivals of ours - you know the ones - are planning to attack the Little Cup tonight. You've gone mercenary, right? Maybe you and your employer can do something about that. There's an entrance to the Plateau's maintenance shaft in the basement of the Department Store. The combination is 3654."

[Iron]

Calam hisses and leads Nathan to the shadow of the Tower. There's a metal door marked "Employees And Cuties Only," leading right into the tower. That's where all of Calam's intent is focused. He seems very worked up.

A few people glare at Absol, whispering, "Oh great. Here comes another disaster like Ginger Town," or, "Absol isn't a first stage Pokemon, is it?"

Nathan ignores those whispers.

"Calam, Future Sight.  If there's something there, I want confirmation."

Breed Cameron Round 2

Endeavor 1
4 Dex + 3 Fight + 2 Perform -2 pain -3 actions = 4d6
(4)(3)(6)(2)
Evasion 1: (4)(6)(2)(5)(1)

Koa's nostrils erupt in a trail of dragonflame and dragonsmoke as Taillow swoops in on him again and again, using its speed to the maximum. Koa's face is screwed up in concentration as he shakes off the attack! Koa will gain +1 Happiness if he defeats this hated foe!

Air Slash 2
(6)(6)(5)
(2)(6)(6)(6) Koa takes 3 dmg 3/6hp -2 pain
Flinch: (5)(3)(4)

Slash 1
(6)(6)(4)(6)
That's 9d6 dice with a Rivalry boosted crit, -3 vit = 6d6 dice
(3)(2)(3)(4)(4)(1) Taillow faints. Koa gains that point of Happiness!

The rain hasn't slowed, so your opponent reaches to a different Pokeball.

Out comes Surskit, a big one! It skates around on the thin layer of water pooling on the field.

Surskit: (3) + 6* Dex + Survival, going first again.

Calam closes one eye and stares at the door. He nods. His eye is filled with purple energy.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Hmm, Nathan was not there. This left Shiva in some sort of wondering and mildly frustrated state, where has that boy and his psychic dancer wandered off this time...? Ehm, actually not that important, information about the shrines could wait a little, and that meant she can keep that soda. Hah! She's careful and insightful enough to place it out of reach when crafting that plushie - nothing shall stain lordly Reshiram's white body!

To say that she was impressed herself over how well it turned out would be a lie, a small part of her felt very proud as she carefully cut off any loose sewing threads and examinated her work from all sides. This one was somewhat too precious to sell to a shop - just as carefully, Shiva packed it away for now.

The scientist sends out a Shellos, in the blue style from western Creshire! But that blue is tinged with eerie phosphorescent green!

"You like my Shellos? She has undergone a very basic diet therapy, since even her time in an Egg, giving her a light-producing ability and excellent toughness!"

Shellos: (4) + 4 Dex + 0 survival = 8
Kyuu: (2) + 5 = 7

"...I don't 'like' that Shellos. I love it, what a nice shade of green glow! Maybe later, you can tell me a little more about that diet therapy? If my desired career goes smooth and well, I'll be hatching a whole lot of Pokemon Eggs in my future, and I'm certainly interested in hatching special Pokemon. At first though, let us see that excellent toughness, please! Did she do well in your last Little Cup? Also, Kyuu..." *dramatic gesture of opening the arms, crowning it with a motion to her Espurr to prepare himself* "...here you have your desired battle! Do well, do not mind the rain, and do not get tangled up in your/my scarf! Perform the move we have trained together a few days ago, please!"

---------------------------------
Orders for this Round: Fake Out - Light Screen Combo, crowned with a Confusion. If Light Screen as a second action fails, we attempt to materialize one again instead of using Confusion.

Calam closes one eye and stares at the door. He nods. His eye is filled with purple energy.

Yup, no doubt about it now.

"Alright, let's get in there, then.  If something's going on, I want to know what it is."

Never doubt an Absol when they think something dangerous is going to happen.  That should be excuse enough by itself.

[Iron]

The 'Employees Only' door is unlocked. Nathan and Calam pass through it, and find themselves in the makeshift foundations of the Tower. Rafters are crossing in all directions, wood and steel, connected to cinderblocks along a rebar framework. It's dark, but for the light of the door.

A manhole cover in the center is moving just as you get inside. Calam growls, and a slamming force of psychic energy falls down on the steel disc, wedging it back into place. Nathan should have a whole round to prepare now.

[Iron]

[Dragonstrike]

"Calam, Swords Dance, another Future Sight, then charge a Razor Wind.  Kirlia, Lucky Chant, Calm Mind, and Double Team.  Let's show these party crashers we mean business."

Nathan's kinda wishing he had Starmie on hand right about now...oh well...he'd make do.

*achoo*

Brrrr...okay, maybe a little warmth from both those warm gloves and that portable stove would help...should brighten things a little too.
