HALLOWEEN 2016: Team Skull Log

Who: Everyone who wants to join a team!
Where: Goldenrod City!
When: October 31st!
Summary: Team Skull's planned a full-fledged assault on Goldenrod; join up with a team and take them down!
Rating: Will vary from thread to thread. Warn for common triggers if something comes up.
Log:

It's been three days since Guzma's made his first announcement over the radio, but try as the police might, no one's been able to get to him since; after making his call to arms, asking all available Skulls to come to Goldenrod to have some fun, he seems to have completely dropped off without a trace. But Candela isn't concerned much about that. She's been at this for long enough to know the song and dance; this is a pivotal spot, after all, and Guzma will be back here before long, probably with more than enough cronies to go around. When that happens, they'll head him off at the pass. Easy as that. He's gotta get orders out to the people outside, after all, and the only place he can do that is here.

He won't take it over a second time. Team Valor will make sure of that.

Meanwhile, outside the tower, Blanche would like to think she has a bit more control of the situation. Candela had been so gung-ho on kicking Guzma's ass in the tower that Blanche almost didn't have the heart to tell her that there was probably an ambush waiting in there for her. ...Rather, she tried, but Candela has a way of being far too stubborn for her own good...in any case, if she needs backup, she's out here to provide it, but if there are going to be riots and messes in the streets, its better to be out here where the damage is going to be at its highest, just to stop it before it starts. Already, Team Skull is starting to come out in small hordes, and it won't be long before things start to get hectic out here. Team Mystic, though, is dedicated towards stopping this before it gets a chance to start. ...But perhaps they'd be taken a bit more seriously if Candela and Spark hadn't forced her to dress up for Halloween--

Speaking of Spark, of course, Team Instinct's leader seems to have his priorities in order; if there are going to be riots and debris in the streets, some of the wild Pokemon in the area might just get hurt, and that will never do! So Spark has taken it on himself to lead a search-and-rescue charge with Team Instinct--any stray Pokemon in the Goldenrod area should be either captured or brought straight to a Pokemon Center ASAP! The goal is not to leave even one behind! ...Of course, Team Skull is a problem, too, but won't somebody think of the Pokemon--

You're free to NPC any Team Skull grunts and Pokemon interactions yourselves, but Team Valor will have the chance to battle Guzma, and Team Mystic will have the chance to battle Plumeria! Please be patient with responses in these threads; if the boss's Pokemon start to become too weak, they'll end up making a tactical retreat!

One last thing: you're all encouraged to have your character in costume for an event like this, and your team leaders will be dressed in costume, too! If three or more characters in costume participate in a thread together, a miracle might occur, and the Legendary Bird corresponding with your team has a chance to appear at your discretion! This applies in battles with Guzma and Plumeria, as well!

Have fun and Happy Halloween!

Now, now, it's not easy coming up with witty mid-battle banter. Not everyone has so quick a mind. We can't be too hard on the poor things.

[She's smiling, and there's humor in her voice. It's been good, to have something to fight for. She can't say she doesn't miss it entirely. There's a thrill that comes from it, and satisfaction.]

Good. It's too easy to be dragged down by the apathy and lethargy. I'd hate to see that happen to you.

Besides...it's exciting, isn't it?

[As if on cue, a pair of fresh Team Skull goons come around the corner, clearly looking for a fight.]

There's not being witty and then there's being... I... I don't actually know how to describe it. I guess there's something impressive about that.

[He supposes the skeleton puns at least fit the theme, but even then, wow...]

...I guess so. Sorta. Can't say it isn't nice to have something exciting happening without any real mortal danger. It's a nice change.

[He's really appreciating the lack of guns in this world. Just... so much. It's great.

Tim looks over at those skull grunts.]


Well, isn't that just right on cue...

[Lust is so confident in their abilities to trounce these ridiculous invaders that she takes a moment to fish in the many hidden pockets of her elaborate costume. When she finds what she's looking for, she turns to Timothy with a mischievous grin.]

Here, let's get you properly outfitted for the evening. It is Halloween.

[She pulls out her simple pair of cat ears and stands on her tip toes to gently place the headband on Timothy's head. And brushing his hair with her fingertips, just so it will lay right around the band.]

There. Now we're ready for a proper Hell Hunt, as I do believe they call it. Shall we?

[She gestures to the approaching grunts, Amoz already snorting and pawing the ground to fight. Why is his trainer bothering fiddling with that other human's head?]

Huh...? [He looks back over at her as she says that, not sure where that's going.] What do you--

[And then suddenly she's putting something on his head. Tim blinks, glancing up, even though obviously he can't see it and then just looking back down at her.] Wait, did you just... [He carefully pokes at the headband. And oh man those are cat ears. She just put cat ears on him.

...He can't help it, that actually gets a brief laugh out of him.]
Ha ha, oh my god... Were you just carrying those around everywhere, really?

[Obviously he's leaving them on, but wow, Lust.]

...Right, yeah, the bad guys. Alright.

[The member of Tim's team that's the most eager to fight, his Litleo, is already getting into position before he even has to say anything. Rosalind's always ready to fight.]

Well, I don't wear my haunted house costume when I go trick or treating, I just wear something black and the ears. I got them my first Halloween here.

[When she and Alphonse had first gone to the Haunted House. She'd bought a pair for each of them, from the grocery store checkout line. It was tradition, after all, and Lust has found herself drawn to the idea of tradition.]

But you have a greater need than I.

[Oh, fine, if those ridiculous skulls are insistent in interrupting their nice time right this moment... Really, doesn't anyone have any manners anymore?]

Fierfiz, go!

[The dandy cut Furfrou joins the shiny Houndoom, the two canines already in battle stance on either side of Tim's Litleo.]

Ha, well, kinda doubt that'll have the same effect with me... [He's not even wearing black to help, it's... yeah, it's the regular bright yellow, he didn't really think about it.] But, uh, it'll work enough!

[Yeah, look at him, sort of getting kinda in the spirit of the... uh... Yeah. Yeah, okay, it's kind of silly.]

Alright, Rosalind, you uh... [Before Tim even really needs to say anything, Rosalind just lets out a not-so-mighty roar. It's as impressive as you might expect from a Litleo, but points for trying.] ...Yeah, you do your thing.

[He barely needs to tell her anything, Rosalind is just ready to fight 24/7.]

It looks fine. Festive.

[He really does have atrocious taste in clothing. What is it about otherwise perfectly attractive men and yellow? She supposes it's better than the god awful yellow monstrosity of a coat that still hangs in her closet.]

The ones who are eager for battling hardly need any training, do they?

[The two canines don't seem bothered by the little lion's less than terrifying roar. Instead, they echo it with howls of their own. The two skull grunts are already doubting their choice in paths, and whispering hurriedly to each other.]

Not like I can really see it, so. I'll take your word for it.

[Not that it would be difficult checking, but uh. He tries to avoid looking at himself at the moment. For... reasons that are pretty damn obvious.]

Ha, yeah, no kidding. Pretty sure she's already the strongest of my team, despite being one of the newer ones. [Mostly because... well. Some of his cats are pretty lazy and not much for fighting. And the fish is a fish.] Makes things a lot easier.

[Not that he battles a lot anyway, it's not really his thing. But for situations like this, it's perfect. Hell, Rosalind doesn't look like she's about to let those grunts leave. One, realizing that yeah, maybe there's not really a way out of this, sends out one of those weird looking Rattata.

Yeah, that's not gonna work out well. That poor rat looks incredibly nervous.]
