Showgan -- Standing On Edge (Invitational)

Not open for further replies.
Rai took a hasty step back in alarm as the Ghastly made her move, Chupon acting very much like Zach and leaping into the underbrush with a scared yelp. Ashura stood her ground however, barring her teeth at the spectre, although before she had managed to spy the correct spot to strike it, Fishy had already interwened and the Scyther decided not to get involved in the battle. This was a one on one, a duel, quite an unusual choice for a ghost type, seeing as they usually prefered treachery and deciet. A challenge...that was what the Ghastly had called it, and that excitement it bore in its eyes when it spoke those words...it was as if it had been hoping for a strong opponent, perhaps hoping to find its better even? The Scyther's eyes narrowed, was this one hoping to join them? She chose to stand her ground however, as this was, after all, not her battle, and she was quite certain that wether the spirit would join their group or not wasn't her decision either.
 
OOC: Erm... sorry kon man... but this RP is for only those who have been invited. So... unless you were requested to come here by Alter Ego or one of us with Atler's permission, you can't join. You could sign up for just about any other RP in this place though, so feel free to do that! ^-^

As for an IC post... erm... not much to say until Plushie comes back.

Oh wait!!!

Awesome Bellossom, I got an A on my English essay!!!! ^-^
 
OOC:
kon man4, Light Azumarill is corect. This is an invitational RP, which means that unless you were officially invited (Which you weren't) you aren't allowed to sign up, although you're quite free to read. Anyhow, we've already got our cast full so I'm not accepting any more RPers, especially inexperienced ones, so yeah...no signing up for you I'm afraid.

Oh, and here's the reason why I haven't been on very much even though I didn't have school today. I was finishing up my second piece of pixel art (Well, technically it's my third, but I don't think I'll ever find the patience to finish up my Zapdos' shading (I drew that thing way too big <_<). Anyhow, here is meh second finished piece, it's a Bellsprout because Bellsprout is kawaii and evolves into a man-eating plant thingie. Plus, they're quite easy to draw really. ^^

[PokeCommunity.com] Showgan -- Standing On Edge (Invitational)

Comments welcome as always, and any suggestions for a background would be appreciated too. ^^ I'm actually planning on making the whole Bellsprout evolution line into pixel art. Next victim; Weepinbell. *Cackles evily* It should be easier than a Bellsprout actually since it doesn't have roots. ^^

Oh, and congrats on your English essay, Melissa! ^^

{ooc| Blah, I was too busy earlier to post - every time I tried to someone was all... 'woah, come do this!' and all that jazz. So...maybe I'll post tomorrow? Just pretend Maxie and Fang are following behind because...um... she's a reverse vampire and has to get home before dark. xDDDD

Well done you, Melissa!}
 
OCC: I got an 80 in both Yibber and Natalie's quiz if I'm not wrong.. I got the RP one right on Natalie's quiz thanks ta' Yibber for spilling it by accident.. And fear of heights.. Isn't that just like meh? *remembers the field trip* That was the worse field trip I had...

IC:

Silver walked along with the others silently.. She was thinking hard.. trying to recall where she could possibly find a Skarmory.. She wanted one so badly.. She heard Zachary's scream and looked up.. There's a Ghastly.. and Kayley and Fishy looks ready to battle it.. I hope Kayley won't catch that Ghastly

{Should we go and help out in the battle??} Yukari asked Miruka..

{I think we should leave them alone first.. We will make an entrance when the time is ripe.. I doubt that Fishy needs our help..} Miruka answered..

Silver walked towards Zachary and comforted him.. "That is just a Ghastly.. They ain't scary.. Just relax and watch the battle... That Ghastly isn't gonna attack you.. Don't have to be so afraid.." She then smiled at Zachary and turned her focus on the battle between Fishy and the Ghastly which will be starting very soon...
 
OOc-

Ic-
"Whoa!A Gastly!!"Jena took one step back before calling out in surprise,she never knew ghost pokemon lived in forests.As the pokemon returned to her actual size to battle Fishy,Jena looked around to make sure that the others were doing alright.

{Hazy!I remember you!}the Tailow,still perched on the girl's arm said,oblivious to the fact that the Gastly was trying to scare them.

{Eeps!Ghosties!}Cascade ducked behind Ryne as Hazy appeared,enlarged with flames and all.

{Oooh,what a shock.}Ryne shivered,hugging the Mudkip.

Jena hugged Orjen tightly and observed the battle between Fishy and the Gastly.Asking herself why would a wild Gastly choose to come up and scare them,it could've been the same pokemon which scared the boy.
Was the Gastly expecting someone worthy of her to fight?...Naw.

"Uh....Zach,get out from under there will you?I don't think its going to hurt you."Jena laughed and nodded her head as Silver comforted the boy who had pushed himself under the bushes.
 
OOC:

Yay! Another person who rawks at English! XD *high five*

And Alter, that Bellsprout ish teh pwnage. Seriously, 'tis cute. XD

I wish I could log on during school. Of course, I can't do that.. I'd get kicked out.. ^^;;;

By the way, I've been spelling Ghastly wrong this whole time, haven't I? XD



IC:



"Okay then, this was unexpected, but.." Kayley paused in thought for a bit. She had been training with Fishy for a long time now, and yet she had only battled a wild Pokemon like this once before. She knew many strategies by heart, and yet she had only tested them in real battles a few times. This would be a great oppurtunity to try out a few techniques..

"Fishy! Rain Dance, then Mud-Slap!" She shouted, failing to make any poses or actions that would've made the command a bit more intimidating.

Fishy toothily grinned -- he had always loved practicing this one. The Mudkip began to hop around the area, but in a somewhat graceful manner, stopping every few hops to wag his tail or twirl in place a bit before continuing his dance that seemed oddly perfected.

In several moments' time, the clouds had darkened profusely, casting a large shadow upon the land, almost as far as the eye could see. And after several more seconds of Fishy's ritual, rain had begun to pour down onto the Earth. Kayley paused to put her hood up, knowing that the rain would get worse.

The Ghastly tilted her head in wonder, having never seen a Rain Dance being performed before.

But as she was doing that, Fishy plunged his tail fin into the newly formed mud that made up the ground, scooping up a good deal of it as he lifted his tail back up, keeping his tail level so as not to drop the mud.

It was then that Hazy snapped into realization, flashing before instantly splitting into two Ghastlies, then those two split into two, the process repeating itself until the Double Team was complete, every copy of Hazy including the real thing grinning with slight relief.

The momentum of Fishy's attack forced him to launch it anyways, the tail-full of mud flinging towards the new horde of Ghastly and eliminating the three copies it struck. However, that didn't make much of a difference, considering that by this time Hazy had made enough copies in total to make up for the loss.

Kayley frowned, considering the options before giving another command to Fishy.

Neither Kayley, Fishy, nor Hazy seemed to notice anything besides the battle they were now locked in.

OOC: Pwhee! My Bellsprout feels loved! *Glomps Bellsprout* ^^ Don't worry Yibber, I'll do Victreebell, (after all, it's a man-eating plant thingie XD) but I'll kind of practice my technique some more on Weepinbell first. Oh, and Plushie, Mud-Slap wouldn't do zip against a Ghastly because they have the 'Levitate' trait. Just pointing out...

And yay for Flissie! You actually scored better on that quiz than my brother, yes you did, even though you had help with one of the questions. ^^

Well, I don't see enough for me to comment on to make for a proper IC so...until someone else posts I'll just be around.
 
"Wow."Jena looked up to see the sky darken as rain started to pour down on them.She clapped her hands as Fishy began to use his Mud-slap technique,ignoring the drops off water landing on her and her friends.

Cascade started dancing around as well,it wasn't a Rain Dance like Fishy's,it looked like more of a made-up sort of dance.Jumping up and down before twirling,look anything but gracful.
He jumped into the puddles which had formed,getting not only himself,but the pokemon around wet.

{Cassy!Look what you did??}Ryne scolded the Mudkip,who merely grinned.

{We were gonnna get wet either way,Ryne.}he nodded to the rains clouds above him.

{Rain!Water!}Orjen shivered,he wasn't the sort who loved the water,but decided to remain outside to see the battle.What were a few measly drops of rain going to do?

{The rain!It is,'ow you say?Beautiful!!}the Tailow remained on Jena's arm and started to clean her wings.
 
{ooc| You guys write hardly anything on a friday night x_x; I was expecting to have to read half a novel this morning ^^;
EDIT: Alter, your bellsprout is lovely. I apologise for not noticing it.}

"Okay... yeah, thanks... Yeah, thanks... Bye."
Maxie flipped her phone shut, and slipped it back into her pocket - poking her sleeping poison-type while she was at it.
"Wake up, Fang."
{Three more minutes...?} the litte bat's voice emerged from her pocket.
"I mean now." she said in a bored drawl.
{Two more minutes...}
"GET UP NOW!"
The bat jerked himself awake at his trainer's words, looking extremely confused.. She had hung back while the others faced the Gastly, partly to wake up her moron of a zubat (who tended to let things slip just after he had woken up) but also to make a phonecall. Mac was probably now signing her up for the league and registering her as a legal trainer.
{Maxie...} Fang fluttered out of his trainer's pocket, yawning and rubbing his eyes with a wing tip. {I'm sleepy...} he moaned, and ducked down to perch on her shoulder.
"Shush, Fang." Maxie said sharply, making Fang groan. She walked over to join the others, while her Zubat slumped on her shoulder. Fang didn't like being woken up, but Maxie wans't happy venturing forward without his tell-all sonar vision.
"'Lo." she called, coming to stand beside the others to watch the battle.

OOC: Gah, no-one's here and my Physics lesson starts in 13 minutes and counting. ;__; Once I dissapear my estimated re-arrival time shall be in about 2 hours. So yeah...

IC:

Ashura ducked out the trajectory of Cascade's splash with an annoyed groan, dodging the main volley of water and only taking what stray rain drops went her way. The Scyther returned her attention to the battle, noting the strategies in use and not being quite pleased with Fishy's approach.

{He should use Foresight...} she said for herself, watching the Mudkip's fighting {It would clear out the illusions and give him a clear spot on the spirit to aim on.}

{Go Fishy! Go!} Chupon squeaked excitedly from his relative safe haven in the bush, ducking back inside as soon as it seemed like Hazy was looking at him, although he grew slightly bolder with each time as the initial frightening effect of the ghost on him slowly diminished. In truth, it wasn't much scarier than Ashura, and he had gotten used to the Scyther's presence so why should this Ghastly worry him?

At Maxie's exclamation, Rai spun around, his attention drawn from the ensuing battle for a moment as he noticed Maxie and Fang heading towards them. "Oh, hi there!" he called, wondering slightly over how they had completely missed the duo's absence this far, he could have sworn that they were behind them just a few moments ago "Where were you, anyway?"

Ashura turned her attention to the newcomers as well, obviously interested in hearing the answer for this question as well. It took someone of quite considerable skill in stealth to just sneak out of her notice like that, something which reinforced her already considerable suspicions concerning the girl.

{ooc| *throws shoe at Alter* Thanks for completely missing my post. xD}
 
OOC: *Throws shoe back* Thanks for completely ignoring my Bellsprout you meanie! XP Besides, the group didn't ever get inside the forest so it looks like you've been ignoring some posts too. Anyhow, I was typing my post up while you posted so there's no way I could have noticed it. XP *Goes of to edit*
 
OOc-
Naw...I felt tired yesterday.XD

You two,stop flinging those dangerous footwear ya' hear??
*eats shoe*

Now,that's better.^^

Ic-
{Many,many Gastlies!!}Cascade kipped and sat down so as to get a great view of the battle as Fishy prepared for a Mud-slap.

Ryne frowned,using the leaves from the bushes beside her to wipe herself dry,but the attempt was redundant as rain continued falling.The Ralts sighed,before sitting down next to Cascade.

"Hi,Maxie!I'm sorry,didn't notice that you left."Jena stated,turning around to face the girl as she appeared from behind.
 
OOC: Okay, got to go now. Don't go too far without me. ;__;
 
{ooc| Sorry...it's early, I'm tired... No excuse, but hey. Last night wasn't as fun as usual, I fell out with my friend. TT}

Maxie grinned at Jena. "Don't worry, I'm pretty sneaky."
Turning to Rai, she took her phone out of her pocket. "I phoned a friend." she then laughed at her own joke. Fang coughed loudly, and Maxie grinned awkwardly. "It's a quote from a gameshow... you've probably never seen it..."
She shivered - despite the warm weather she was now soaked to the skin.
"This is terrible..." she muttered, pointing tot he sky. "Now Fang won't be able to use his Sonar, the rain drops get in the way too much."

Fang turned, hearing the nearly inaudiable click of Ashura's exoskeleton as she moved. Fang turned his ears upon her; was she listening to them? He couldn't tell, not over the constant barrage of the rain.

{ooc| 'Phone a friend' is from a gameshow called 'who wants to be a millionaire' which used to be quite popular here. RANDOM TRIVIA!!}

Unlikey,as my headache has been replaced with an awful sore throat,and since we can't continue without Plushie,I shall go and get some afternoon sleep.Either that or I'll just entertain myself by opening and closing the fridge.XD
 
OOC: My Physics lesson is over! Pwheee! XD *Happy dance* And only two people posting...dude! Where is everyone?! o_O Ehh...at least you didn't go too far without me. ^^

And you have Who want's to be a millionare over in England too? OMG it's a classic over here. I can't understand why though, I swear that show's pace is slower than a one-legged turtle. -__- The people who get on are usually so dang proud of being on TV that they dawdle forever with everything and try to be oh so witty. It annoys me to no end. >.<

Oh, and pwhee! They're actually airing the pok?mon Anime over here again! Every Saturday! Yay! ^_^ Only I missed most of today's episode because I overslept, but it's okay since I've seen that one before...it's the one with the haxxy wild Tailow who takes a Thundershock, a Thunderbolt, a Thunder and a Volt Tackle from the uber Pikachu of doom without being KOed. Now how on earth does it pull that of I wonder? Lots of succesfull Endures in a row maybe? o_O

And erm, sorry, about the friend situation...and the sore throat...

Anyhow, on to RPing for me, I guesses...at least a litte.

IC:

Ashura scoffed quietly, pretty sneaky indeed. There was something disturbingly professional about that girl's way of sneaking off that smelled of fishy bussiness a long way, and it wasn't the weird-little-Mudkip kind of Fishy bussiness either.

Rai chuckled a bit at Maxie's joke, even though he didn't quite understand it. At her comment concerning the rain, he frowned slightly.

"So, you mean that he's practically blind, then?" he asked worriedly, "Is there something we could do about it? Other than stopping the rain I mean."
 
OOC: *looks around* Yep... me on when no one else is... that seems about right. XD Why do I never wake up early enough on Fridays? -_-

The Bellsprout ish cute!!! ^-^ My only suggestion is more practice Alter, the lines are still a little wiggly in some parts. Though, you do better than I can. Seriously... I tried to draw a Charmander in MSPaint, and it looked like a 5-year-old drew it with his feet. o.o My suggestion for a background is either something pink (works good with green and is like flower petals), or something dark green (kinda foresty).

Just so you know, the US has Who Wants to be a Millionare too. ^-^ Guh... some of those questions were so painfully easy... >_> And people would get them wrong... I could have sworn they had a pokemon-related question on there once.


Zachary
===========

Grateful that his new friends were so supportive, yet too scared to heed their advice, Zachary merely remained sitting on the ground. "I'm fine down here thanks...," he said in a shaky voice, his eyes never leaving the Ghastly's movements.

Ron sat down next to the boy and shook his head slowly. {You do know you look silly, right?} he said, raising an eyebrow.

Zachary thought to himself for a moment. Jena and Silver were right. He had nothing to fear from the pokemon, and he had faced worse things than this Ghastly.... He nodded and stood up, willing himself to forget about it. He still felt his skin crawl though whenever the spirit performed a sudden movement.

"Uh... Silver, Jena... thanks for your help. You gals are really nice," he said to the two girls, giving them the thumbs up. He wanted to make sure that he thanked them, because without their encouragement he would have still been stuck in that underbrush.
