[Closed] Love Lifts Us Up Where We Belong

[heartofalioness]

Who: Princess Allura, Keith, Riz Gukgak, Jane Crocker, and the Mandolorian
Where: Around Goldenrod City
When: About March 11
Summary: Happy birbday! (Aka: a race to see who tackles an eagle first and whether or not they keep it)
Rating: PG to PG-13, will warn as necessary


It’s a nice… well okay, it’s not sunny since this week has been an almost non-stop wintry mix. But at least Keith and Allura have nice, cozy rooms at the inn they’ve been staying at in Violet City—

Ah. And then the broadcast goes out. And Riz calls up Allura to see if she and Keith and help with the Braviary sitting on top of the Radio Tower. Welp… good thing this call is early in the morning, it’s going to take a few hours to get to Goldenrod, even by flying. Once they get there… well, surely things will go smoothly, right? (Allura sincerely hopes there’s cocoa after this…)

[Riz flaps his hands at her.]

If we don't do something, that bird is going to either gonna fly off with Mando or he'll fall. If you get up there, the two of you might be able to force it down to the ground, and my bugs can actually reach it.

[singlespacedad]

[While Allura and Riz are busy arguing on the ground, Mando is still clinging for dear life to the Braviary's feet. Those pecks hurt, but they're not as bad as getting hit with a blaster, so he's managing.]

[Barely. For now.]

[During an interlude in the attacks, when the Braviary is rearing back its head for another assault, Mando swings his legs forward and wraps them around the bird's ankles. Powerful core strength for the win! Now that he's holding on with his legs, which are both stronger than his arms and decidedly less pecked, Mando scales the Braviary's legs with his hands, ending up with his head close to the bird's body.]

[Which means his fists are also close to the bird's body.]

[Is it considered rude to punch a Pokemon? All innocent young charges, look away, as Mando is holding on with one arm and using the other to slug the Braviary in the gut.]

[heartofalioness]

[Well... depending on whether those attacks count as Fighting or Normal, the Braviary might have a double resistance to them or be just neutral to them.

Allura gives Riz a look... then to the JSPCP-violating scene above... then back to Riz. Normally she'd suggest catching Mando with Kirlos and then blasting the now-distracted Braviary, but the Altaria is exhausted from the breakneck flight here, and there's no guarantee the Braviary will just fly off. So...]

Fine. Hopefully this Braviary has a secondary type weak to Bug. And you be careful.

[tempredmental]

[Keith frowned.]

Aren't bugs usually weak to flying moves...?

[nightyorb]

Super weak, yeah. So you guys are gonna need to take the hits.

[Riz jerks a thumb at Nasha.]

Nasha got electric attacks, so she could probably actually do some damaging shit to it once we get it within range, but she won't last long if she actually has to take any hits.

[And here he is just going to Look at Keith. Come on, sir. Please realise your meatshield destiny here.]

[heartofalioness]

Oooooor we could use a Pokémon that can withstand Flying moves and is super-effective against the type as well?

[A pop of the Pokéball, and out comes Coressa, recently evolved into a very powerful Ninetales and wearing her bronze ribbon on a gold chain.]

[singlespacedad]

[Now he's freeeeeee... free FAAAAAAALLLLLIN...]

[Okay, not yet, but getting close. Getting pecked on his legs doesn't hurt any less than getting pecked on his arms, and this Braviary isn't pulling any punches. Fortunately, neither is Mando, and with every progress slug to the bird's gut, it loses height and gets lower and lower to the ground.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith was mildly hesitant, but then... yeah. Kosmo was his newest, but the shiny Lycanroc had recently evolved into Midday form and knew both rock type and dark type moves. Once out of his ball, Kosmo gave a good shake, ready to go.]

Let's do this, then.
