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!

[It doesn't even seem fair to double-battle one grunt, so after her initial attack, Elsa holds Skadi back. Still, the grunt goes down pretty fast, and one look at the huffing dinosaur is enough to send him running, rather than attempting to revive his pokemon for a rematch.]

This new team doesn't seem very... [geez how can she be gentle about this...] Competent?

[nailed it]

What exactly are they trying to accomplish here?
crouching_sin: (hmph.)

Not at all. And I haven't a clue, but they're all over.

[Lemure shakes her head. Which is also her body. She doesn't know, either.]

And if they tag the bakery, I will make them wash it off using their head as a sponge.

[Naoya that's not how sponges work -]

[Elsa cringes a little at the mental image. Sorry, Naoya, but no matter how long she's been exposed to all kinds of people in this world, she's just... still a little sensitive.]

Would you like to go check on the bakery? The teams defending the city are doing a good job of covering most areas, so I don't think we'll have to worry about this one being undefended.

[It's not your fault, he's just pissed at them...]

I would, yes. It was fine when I left, but that doesn't mean it still is.

[Lemure twirls and floats off towards the bakery.]
defyingfrigidity: (I hope you're happy in the end)

[As they walk, Elsa's head turns in the direction of every sound of battle they pass. She keeps reassuring herself that this isn't as bad as what Aqua and Magma tried to do, but at the same time... at least when they fought those teams, it had been in a remote area. Not in the middle of the biggest city in the region!]

Perhaps, when we next encounter some of those grunts, we should detain them, instead of letting them run away after the battle.
crouching_sin: (stop irritating me)

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2016-11-02 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. I have a few Pokemon that might be able to keep them still. ... Mostly by sitting on them, but if it works...

[Elsa can't help but give a somewhat unladylike snort at that.]

As long as no harm comes to them, I don't see why you shouldn't use such a method...
crouching_sin: (but here's my number)

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2016-11-04 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
They should be fine. It's not like anyone here seems to be able to get hurt permanently...

... Wait, what? People can't get hurt here?

[But she got embarrassingly sick that one time...]

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2016-11-08 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Not in life-threatening ways, it seems.
defyingfrigidity: (too late to go back to sleep)

[On one hand, Elsa's not sure if she wants to know how he found this out. On the other hand... this is fascinating...]

So... what happens? Do we just heal instantly, or something similar...?
crouching_sin: (they ain't gonna catch you when you fall)

[personal profile] crouching_sin 2016-11-14 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
I think you just wake up at the Pokemon Center if it's bad enough? I haven't tested this myself, I'm going off of information I received a while ago.
