Mechromancer Island Adventure
Who: Gaige and you
What: Adventures in the Sevii Islands!
When: Just after Valentine's day
Where: Knot Island, Hot Springs, Mt. Ember.
Warnings: Foul language, probably violence and inappropriate flirting.
"About fucking time!"
Gaige was beside herself with excitement as the ferry approached the docks, not moving nearly fast enough for her liking. For the last few months she'd felt like she was adrift. In a misguided attempt to raise his spirits she'd challenged Jack to a fight and lost horribly. Somehow even when she didn't count it as a real fight it still hurt her ego. Things didn't get any better for her as it seemed raising pokemon was A LOT harder then other monster themed echonet games made it seem.
But all that was behind her now back on Johto. A beautiful tropical getaway stretched out in front of her filling the horizon with trees and warm sand and fruity overpriced drinks hopefully with loose standards on who was allowed to drink them.
"Miss please get off the railing. We'll be docking soon." An exhausted attendant sighed approaching her for what he hoped would be the last time. Gaige had been a very...energetic passenger with a loose sense of personal boundaries.
"Too slow! I'll just swim from here!" She declared dragging herself up onto the railing and springing off much to the gasps of shock and horror from the other passengers.
Crashing down into the cold water sent a jolt of energy through her which made her want to scream or laugh or both. Instead she paddled as hard as she could and...found herself sinking.
...oh right. Robot arm. Fucker was too heavy to swim properly.
____________________________________________________
Once she was dragged to shore by her Azumarill, Gaige sat on the beach tinkering with her arm, while her Rotom took control of her poke gear and read to her from the guidebooks they downloaded on the long boat ride over.
"Alright...no need to rush we're gonna be here awhile...so where do we start?"
The Hotel
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BOOKED?"
"Well Miss if you'd made a reservation perhaps we'd have some room but it seems that with the Pokefan Singles cruise in town our hotel doesn't have any available space!"
Sure enough, the hotel itself is swamped with people wearing pokemon merchandise, debating their favorite pokemon types, and even in pokemon cosplay trying to meet other people who like to dress as their spiritmon.
"Oh come on! It's a singles cruise! Why can't some of them share rooms? That's what they're here for anyway!"
But of course the clerk would not budge. So Gaige like a responsible and reasonable adult left quietly...which is to say she was dragged from the hotel and tossed on her ass.
Soon after you may encounter her challenging random people outside the hotel to pokemon battles.
"Hey you! I need a place to stay alright so if I beat you in a pokemon battle, I get to stay in your room. Sound's fair right? Let's do this!"
The Beach
It's just another beautiful day on Treasure Beach. The ocean is sighing majestically onto the sand, the clouds are fluffy and crisp white offering occasional breaks from the sun...and there are sand sculptures all over the beach!
Yes it seems the Pokefan singles group has started a little sand sculpting contest for fun, with some showing some amazing talent using their pokemon to create works of art.
And then there's Gaige...with a sand castle big enough for her to stand ontop of and shout at people.
"I told you for the last time your trophy isn't in here! This is my Sand Castle so get lost or I shall taunt you a second time!" Her Baltoy spins in agreement and lobs some balls of mud after the fleeing Pokefans
Sounds like the Pokefans are already tired of her antics. Wether she stole their trophy or not it's an impressive looking castle. Half the size of a poke center at least. Maybe you'd like to come visit?
Hiking Mt. Ember
Of course you couldn't expect Gaige to come to this Island without visiting Mt. Ember. On her third day she's all geared up and making her way along the path with her Mudbray clopping along obediently beside her...carrying most of her bags.
"Now this is nice isn't it? It's not as much fun as fighting those fires last year on the mountain but the idea that there's a volcano right under us that could blow at any minute is fun right?"
Thunderhoof seemed to agree and with a loud brey started racing up the path making Gaige laugh and give chase.
"Oh you think you've got game? You ain't got game! I'm the queen of G-aaaaaame!!!"
As it so happens, Mudbray is better at taking corners then Gaige and she tumbled off the path to splash down in a hotspring, hope you weren't using it. But maybe if you saw the accident you'd be willing to help...or point and laugh at her. Either works.
no subject
He'll laugh at her as long as she's alright, but he's actually gotta make sure she's okay, first.
"I thought we were hiking, not swimming!"
...And that's how he checks on her, peering over the edge of the drop-off where she'd disappeared. Talk to him, buddy; how're you doing down there in that steaming water?
no subject
Gaige hacked and coughed out a response as her sign of life, sitting up to her shoulders in steaming hot natural springwater. She gagged a few times.
"Oh god, this smells like rotten egg soup!"
She tried to wave away the scent of sulfur only to find herself starring down a few very cranky looking Machops who had been sharing the hot spring. They seemed to think she meant them.
"uh...sup bros. You lift?"
They grumbled and growled at her flexing their muscles looking offended by either her intrusion or the insult. For now Gaige was splashing out of the water ignoring the daggers they were glaring at her.
"Yo Krieg! Make sure my stupid donkey comes back!"
Thunderhoof to his credit was plodding back down the trail looking honestly confused. Where did she go? She was right behind him wasn't she?
no subject
"Mnahahahahaha! Now YOU smell like rotten egg soup!"
He casts an eye at Gaige's small mud pony when she asks him to make sure it doesn't run off, and sure enough the creature has come back to check on his unfortunate trainer.
"It's a good little mud pony!" No worries, Gaige, Thunderhoof has got this. The real question is, does Gaige got this?
"Can you climb back up?"
no subject
Looks like climbing up won't be an issue. One of the Machoke has seized Gaige by the back of her clothing.
"MaaaaaaaCHOKE!"
His muscles flexed and suddenly Gaige was airborn, soaring up faster then she fell, cheeks ballooning out from the force of the wind and eyes watering as she shot up past Krieg and Thunderpony.
"SHITSHITSHITSHIT BWAHAHAHAHA THIS IS AWESOOOOOME!"
Thunderpony however took offense to their treatment of his owner and started stomping on the edge of the trail, harder and harder kicking rocks and mud and earth down into the spring and onto the pokemon down there using his Bulldoze attack.
no subject
"HIGH-FIVE THE SKY WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE!"
Simultaneously worrying and exhilarating at Gaige's predicament is a weird feeling, but he's done weirder before. Anyway, he's got her fall trajectory tracked and he's right where he expects her to land, arms out to catch.
no subject
Meanwhile here comes Gaige cackling like the lunatic she is flipping both birds.
"FUCK YOU GRAVITY!!!"
Right into Krieg's arms. Her hair is a mess and she looks a little disoriented but none the worse for ware. Good catch!
no subject
--FWUMP! Heck yeah, that's a good catch. He is the best at catching!
"MNahahahaha! You tell it!"
He'd join her with the bird flipping, but he can't because he's currently holding her. He's pretty quick to set her down on her feet, though, because they're either going to need to fight or run, depending on what the wild pokemon are up to.
"D'you wanna catch a muscle monster?" He asks, watching as the first of the climbers gets a hand up on their ledge and begins to haul its big, meaty body up the rest of the way.
no subject
"Screw those guys! They're creepy! Like...is that a speedo or part of their bodies? And you KNOW there are probably some girls into that but also? They smell like that gross hot spring. WRECK EM THUNDERHOOF!"
And so he tries, sending more earth down upon them. But a well aimed tree knocks the Mudbray clean off his hooves and crashing to the ground behind Gaige.
"Oh no you didn't! Oh you bastards are dead now!"
By this point three of them have made it up onto the trail and Gaige is reaching for her pokeballs.
no subject
"Now you should be scared!" That's directed at the aggressive Pokemon in front of them, as he releases Torch Dragon. Without even waiting for direction from Krieg, the Charizard bellows a challenge and launches himself at the nearest of the three Machokes and slashes at it with a Wing Attack that's really more like a body slam. The Machoke is knocked flat on its weird butt, and TD spreads his wings and soars up into the sky, preparing to wheel around for another attack.
Time to double-team!
no subject
The Skarmory appeared with a wicked battle cry leaping at the nearest Machoke and jumping on it's shoulders to peck at it's head brutally. The metal beak did some impressive damage...but the poor choice in moves left her wide open for the second machoke who grabber her by her butt and yanked her back off his friend tossing her beak over tail feathers.
"OK...in her defense I should have been more specific with my attack command." Gaige lamented jogging over to help Fletchette find her feet. The bird looked confused but not injured.
no subject
Likely because he spends a ridiculous amount of time sparring with each of them, every single day, but you know."Three against two's bad odds!" It would have been a perfectly fine peck if there hadn't been another muscle monster to intercept and retaliate. The grabby jerk is getting a taste of its own medicine, though, in the form of a dive-bombing Charizard. Torch Dragon descends from the heavens and hits the Machoke like a ton of bricks, knocking it to the ground, where it skids forward several feet as a result of the impact. It's questionable as to whether or not it's going to recover, although for the moment it doesn't matter much. The first Machoke TD hit is back on its feet and flexing all of its various muscles with an angry exclamation as it Bulks Up. The Machoke that suffered Fletchette's Peck mirrors its friend, and now there are two flexing muscle monsters prepping for another round of attacks.
no subject
"Oh! Oh I see how it is! We got a couple of Badasses in here don't we Krieg? Well we'll show them all that meat ain't worth shit if it isn't spiced just right! Tenderize em Fletchette!
The Skarmory to it's credit took this command a little less directly and began racing circles around the Machokes using her superior speed and agility to keep them shifting from one foot to the other trying to predict which side she'd be coming from.
Then suddenly...stars! Stars everywhere as a swift attack seemed to pelt them from all sides!
"Ooo flashy!" Gaige cheered with glee.
