EXPOSITION

FORTREE CITY is known for its vibrant life among the trees. However, recent sightings of a mysterious monkey-like Pokemon alongside exorbitant plant growth have raised interest among Rocket's higher-ups. Head to Fortree and retrieve intel for the organization to use.

REPORT A
[break][break][break][break]
MAX # OF PARTICIPANTS:[break]3-4 ROCKETS, 3 LEAGUE.

A ZARUDE has been spotted within Fortree City. Able to extend prehensile vines from its wrists, neck, and soles of its feet, it is said that their plant material features extraordinary healing power. If you can not take the Zarude, at least tear off its vines for further study.[break][break]

OBJECTIVES
At least 1 Pokemon must mega evolve.
Use the rope bridges in creative ways for combat.
At least 1 Pokemon must be seriously injured by falling.
At least 1 trainer must be rescued from falling.
At least 2 trainers must engage in combat with each other while freefalling.
🌳 Zarude will use JUNGLE HEALING and inadvertently unearth a MEADOW PLATE with the inscription, "to bind time and space" for chryssa glasgow to find.
🌳 Stormy Silph must use her AVATAR powers once (e.g. fiery wings are suggested).
🌳 Andy Blackadder will become briefly distracted by the sense of being watched.
🌳 Killian Decker will know of ZARUDE, thanks to his extensive reading. Reference his prior knowledge of it in some capacity.
Rocket must succeed in securing vines of Zarude and seriously harming it.
The League must rescue and heal Zarude before it leaves for the wild.
End the thread on the 5th page.
[break]

Objectives marked by the 🌳 are special objectives unlocked by the presence of particular characters.[break][break][break][break]

REWARDS:

GUIDELINES

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. To ensure these events run smoothly, you must communicate with your thread partners and are able to keep up with them. Please let your partners know if you will be busy, lose interest, or find yourself unable to post.[break][break]

Always exercise courtesy, maturity and patience.
To receive FULL REWARDS, you must check off every single objective. Feel free to keep track in post notes.
There is NO POSTING ORDER that you need to maintain; however, be respectful and allow characters to contribute.
Offer openings or opportunities for other characters. These events are not one-man shows.
Decide upon a reasonable time for posting in your group; if a thread partner is unable to engage well enough, skip or replace them.
Since these threads will often feature combat, please be reasonable with your battling. Discuss with your group if you'd like one move per post, how many Pokemon are allowed to be brought, etc.
Try to keep posts short for clarity and speed.
A TL;DR (too long; didn't read) with your posts is not mandatory, but helpful.

| wearing a scuffed old mask |

[break][break]

Fortree City was a grand marvel of a place.[break][break]

Even behind the cover a mask, the pirate that sauntered towards the center of its plaza easily inhaled the scent of pine and earth that hung thick in the air. Treehouses towered over him like skyscrapers, connected by a network of rope bridges. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the massive canopy of leaves above. The entire city was covered in a dance of light and shadow as a result, constantly fluctuating.[break][break]

A shrieking howl.[break][break]

The third so far, in fact.

[break][break]

Civilians began to exit their homes and businesses, gathering on the wooden-floored streets below or at the balconies above, as they peered out at the branches and trees that surrounded them. What was that? They'd heard rumours about a strange creature causing the forest to change. Could this be it?[break][break]

Their mutterings would soon be proven right as a black ape swung out from the wilderness on a vine. Whether or not it was being chased by something (or someone), the masked pirate wouldn't wait before swiftly unclipping a moon ball from his belt and summoning a Tropius. "It's time to fly, mate," He smirked, mounting the long-necked beast before spurring it up.[break][break]

Fortree, a city not visited since his 'date' with Hideo Kino at the closing of the past year. He had made a fool of himself in a karaoke bar and eaten krabby sushi with the other boy. And this was partly why he was here today. Recent misadventures had reminded him of the experience, and most importantly of that sushi. So he had returned to feast upon it again.
[break][break]
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary first. Without his friend's much better sense of direction, he quickly got lost in what was to him a tangled web of bridges and tree houses. What fanciful dribble this place was. Why couldn't they have built their houses on the ground like normal people? Shrieking from the canopy was also halting his progress.
[break][break]
''What the fuck is that racket?'' His chocolate eyes combed the trees as his gait halted again. The residents of the city were also starting to take note of the cries as well. He wasn't the only one looking for the source of the noise. Then Andy saw something move in the sprawling sea of fauna, a black humanoid creature swinging on the trees.
[break][break]
''Some kinda chimp...?'' Leaning on the rope railing to get a better view, his dragapult, Spectress, squinted her suspicious yellow eyes over his shoulder. His stare was only disturbed when someone flew overhead, the movement catching the boy's attention. At first he though it was some curious trainer, or a League lackey. A detail triggered scrutiny of his own however.
[break][break]
What is that? A mask...? His age old friend, paranoia, tugged at the cockles of his heart. He slapped at the cool, slick flesh of his pokemon. ''Come on Spec, let's go take a look too.'' A guiding finger was pointed. ''Follow that asshole, and stay as low as you can.'' At first she resisted such a suggestion. ''Draaaa.''
[break][break]
''If it gets hairy, we'll fuck off. Now stop your bitching.'' Her narrow eyes squinted further as he climbed onto her back and the two awayed.

[attr=class,lyric2]

[attr=class,bulk]
Energy, nervous or otherwise, tingles the surface of her skin. It keeps her on edge, nearly breathless, and her knees instinctively squeeze the shoulders of her Charizard. The soft rumble of the beast beneath her encourages her to relax, and she smooths her hand over rust-coloured scales. [break][break]

"Apologies, girl. We're almost there."[break][break]

With a swish of her tail, the Charizard changes direction to begin descending. The tops of lush green trees come into view and she glances back to watch the other two Charizard(or other Pokemon that Elaine Highland and chryssa glasgow had flown in on) settle not far away.[break][break]

Stormy brushes wind-swept hair out of her face before gesturing for her two companions to follow her. [break][break]

For the most part, the tree-tops of Fortree are quiet and undisturbed. They interact with civilians and save the odd cat from overhanging branches, break up the odd Pokemon fight disrupting the neighbours: the usual, boring ranger tasks. [break][break]

It isn't until Stormy does a double-take, unsure if she'd seen or heard something in the trees that things get a little bit more interesting. Sharp eyes glances over her companions and she sucks in a breath, hand reaching for her belt, skimming over pokeballs.[break][break]

"Did anyone else hear that?"[break][break]

The shrieking cries of the dark silhouette only gets louder, more agitated. Civilians begin to take note, pointing and whispering. She follows their line of sight to see a teenager(Andy Blackadder) mount a Dragapult and fly off into the dark. From her point of view, he is the only one she can see and that alone is enough to spur her into action.[break][break]

"I think we've found what it is we've been waiting for, ladies. Chryssa, Elaine, stay close to me, alright? You guys aren't afraid of heights, right?"[break][break]

Without really waiting for a response, Stormy whistles for Sekhmet. The burnt orange dragon swoops in and she steps off the edge of the rope-held platforms and onto the Pokemon's back to speed off after the orange-haired kid on a Dragapult.[break][break]

03. EXCURSION: FORTREE CITY A

POSTED ON Apr 11, 2021 1:38:15 GMT

dahlia goode, Stormy Silph, and 3 more like this

The three flying-types approached from above, webbed, turquoise wings almost brushing the lodgepole trunks on either side. Stormy's Charizard wove deftly through the tree-crowns, following the flaming tails of its fellows like a set of beacons in the sun-dappled forest.

It should have been a day like any other, albeit one where Chryssa finally got to work with Elite 4 Member Stormy Silph . The two had met before at the Ranger's Reception, but never actually collaborated before today. It wasn't often Chryssa signed up for Ranger duties. With her disability making it particularly tricky to navigate the swinging rope bridges and dizzying heights of Fortree CIty, her actually volunteering for this assignment had been astounding in itself.

But it was no accident Chryssa was here.

"I heard it," she said, eyes bright. She was leaning against the Charizard, her walking cane laid delicately over her lap. "I've never heard that Pokemon before-- have you, Elaine?" She threw the question to the rookie officer who'd joined them. "Perhaps it's a ghost of an ancient forest guardian... or a wronged lover, buried beneath the trees hoping to be found..." She delighted in the thought.

Another harsh monkey scream echoed through the forest. It made her skin tingle. She breathed in, and the air felt colder, fresher, stinging her lungs. It's here. Ahead of her, Stormy was lifting off again, calling directives. She could see other shapes rising, preparing to pursue the strange Pokemon into the treetops. And so are they.

"We're right behind you."

How did Chryssa manage to make it sound so ominous?

If the Charizard noticed a shift in the weight on its back, it didn't say anything. If Stormy or Elaine glanced back at the fire dragon trailing in pursuit, they would see a Chryssa still astride its shoulders, waving and pointing enthusiastically after the mysterious silhouette ahead of them.

Chryssa watched her Zorua vanish into the forest canopy on the Charizard's back and turned away, making her way across the wooden platform with her cane in one hand. The other hand disappeared into her pocket, retrieving a small device which had been sent to her by Chu-e Choi and fitting it into her ear with casual nonchalance.

"Hello, Rocket!" she said brightly into the earpiece, her voice as smooth as liquid honey. "What are we up against today?"

Cinder's shadow moved along the forest floor. Swift, she was in hot pursuit of the fleeing Zarude. Barely able to keep up as it swung from the treetops, Houndoom growled. A steady stream of fire poured out from the sides of her jaw. Aiming, she wasted no time in attempting to slow its movements.

[break][break]

Fire shot up from below the forest canopy, scorching branches, and burning leaves. A fruitless effort. Zarude dodged the attack with a flip from one tree to the next and continued to flee.

[break][break]

Watching from the trees outside the city, Killian frowned. He'd been tracking Zarude for most of the day. Up until a few moments ago, it had been with its pack. Why it had separated from them, Killian didn't know. But it was the perfect opportunity to attack and lead it further away. Of course, he hadn't meant to lead it into the city.

[break][break]

chryssa glasgow's voice pulled his attention away from the chase. "An angry monkey." Killian replied, "Its name is Zarude. The monkey's got a temper worse than a Primeape's. Be on the lookout for more of them too. I lead this one away from its pack, but the howling might attract them." he was grateful for the backup, less grateful for the league presence.

[break][break]

He watched the trio arrive from the sky on the back of Charizard's. Safely hidden in the trees, Killian doubted they'd spot him. On the off chance they did, he tossed the hood of his jacket over his head.[break][break]

Better to be safe than sorry.

[break]
TLDR - Killian is hiding and watching from outside the city while Houndoom chases Zarude.[break][break]
Killian gives Chryssa and anyone else wearing a Rocket earpiece the rundown on Zarude.

A piercing howl resounded through heaven and earth. Elaine narrowed her eyes as the sound had passed though her ears. How could anyone not hear such a cacophonous disruption as that?

There were many things she had expected when she had awoken this morning and had begun to go about her day. But, to be taken up by a member of the Elite Four was far from the realm of expectations for the young woman. Being carried by said woman’s Charizard was also far from the realm of expectations.

But, Elaine could not toss away an opportunity like this. Whatever the job may have been, working up the ladder of the league was something she would have to defer if she didn’t take the opportunity to gain some notoriety among the higher ups through this.

Though, while she was laser-focused, the other colleague that had been picked up seemed far more giddy. Her eyes quickly glazed over Chryssa, taking in everything she had said, before turning back forward.

“There’s a big difference between thinking out of the box and coming up with ridiculous flights of fancy.” The young woman muttered while letting out a quick sigh.

As Stormy began to take up to the skies, Elaine picked up two of her Pokeballs and responded. “No problems. I’ll keep close.”

As the two of them return to air, she quickly releases the two Pokemon one by one.

“Ginga. Use Magnet Rise, stay afloat until you can get my commands, and keep watch on the situation.” The metallic beast quickly floated in air, retracted its limbs, and kept itself close to the two Charizards.

“Titania, stay with me. Both of you, get ready to engage.”

Though the Charizard may feel a new twenty five pounds weighing down on it, that would hardly be enough to prevent it’s acceleration.

The three flying-types approached from above, that left Jonah and Killian on the ground. His mustard-yellow jumpsuit was zipped up all the way so as to hide the Rocket tights, his beanie and single hair braid hiding a Rocket earpiece. Against the blue-greens and browns of Fortree, he could be seen from a mile away.

This mission was so out of his way, so far from home, that he was undoubtedly out of his depth. That being said, it was never supposed to be easy. The continued howls and shrieks of the enraged Zarude made that very clear. The beast's vocalizations were felt as deeply by Jonah as they were heard, as if he were hit upside the head with a tuning fork. Furthermore, the voices in the radio chatter were unfamiliar to him at first.

The orange wings and roaring fire overhead could only mean one thing, a Charizard was also in hot pursuit of the Zarude.

"If I can force a confrontation between that thing and my Manectric, it could very well get paralyzed. If you have another idea, I'll help you as much as I can." He proposed at the earpiece, with a hand cupping the radio earpiece to try and blunt any ambient noise. He was walking carefully after it, with a hand in his pocket. He started to jog off to the side, for fear of being pinned by falling debris from the struck trees. He dropped a pokeball, letting loose his Manectric. His electric-blue hound sprung to life, and let out that sound that's not quite barking and not quite a 'woof' that large dogs make.

Ahead, the howling kept up. While Manectric chased the fleeing Zarude from the ground, it seemed to hear its movements in a way that Jonah couldn't. Manectric couldn't scale trees in any way, but it dashed across the forest floor in hot pursuit. The opportunity to leap and snatch it from the air with a Fire Fang had yet to arise.
"Good lord." He said to himself, quietly.

The league presence didn't bode well. They were to, gasp, try to heal this horrid creature threatening the town. With a temper rivalling a Primeape, no less.

Jonah felt the inside of his jumpsuit for other pokeballs, and happened upon his Torchic, and a Luxio gifted to him by a higher-up. He hadn't a chance with either of them, until the Zarude was cornered and forced to fight. That was why his Manectric was out first.

The wooden railing was pleasantly warm to the touch. Chryssa leaned against it, looking out over Fortree City like a tourist enjoying a scenic vista. With the departure of both the patrolling Charizards and the howling specter, the citizens were already resuming their normal activities.

Like she'd said-- it could have been a day like any other.

"Nice work, mystery man," she said to Killian Decker, enjoying the warmth of the sun on her back. She rested her chin in the palm of her hand. "So there's actually a group of these Pokemon out there somewhere? I can work with that." A glint appeared in her eye, invisible to the Rocket grunts over the radio.

It is said that their plant material features extraordinary healing power.

She had a chance-- and if there were more of these 'angry monkeys' out there, perhaps she had more than one.

"Oh, hello! Great timing! There should be a confrontation on the way," she said brightly to giona ferrara, detecting a new voice over the speaker. "Stormy Silph and at least two other trainers are already on its tail, but I should be able to slow it down for you."

...By I, Chryssa actually meant the Chryssa currently riding Stormy's Charizard with the finesse and enthusiasm of a drunk girl on a mechanical bull. His name was Chy-T, he was a good and hard-working boy, and he'd been given a simple, general directive for this mission.

Pretend to be me. Lure the Pokemon to you. Don't get hit.

"AaaaaaAAA YIP YIP YIP!" he howled jubilantly in his best Chryssa impression, cupping one hand around his human mouth as if to make the sound carry. To anyone listening, it would seem like the girl had just tried to do some wild jungle battle cry. "AaaaIEIEIEIEIEIE!"

But it wasn't. It was TAUNT, and upon hearing his cutting, foxy words, Zarude caught onto one of the branches and turned around.

Its white, skull-like face turned towards the illusory Chryssa for the first time, and the Zorua's mocking sounds died in his throat. He didn't need to have heard Killian's warning about its temper to see it building-- Zarude was angry. If it hadn't been before, it certainly was now.

It faced the three League members flying in on their Charizards and let out a howl of pure fury.

The vines which wrapped its hands and feet began to stir like snakes.

"You're trying to catch it, right?" Chryssa asked over the intercom, blissfully unaware as Chy-T turned his Charizard into a nose-dive and sent it plummeting towards the ground to avoid the POWER WHIP which suddenly lashed out in all directions from Zarude. "Good luck!"

^{Stormy Silph Elaine Highland Andy Blackadder
Killian Decker giona ferrara @lev}

Zorua (Chy-T) uses Taunt on Zarude. Zarude can no longer use status moves! Still appearing to be Chryssa, Chy-T also draws aggro towards the League characters approaching by air.
Zarude uses Power Whip vs its aerial pursuers.
Chy-T does a nose-dive on Charizard to try and escape.

The Tropius' palm fronds shield the pirate upon its back from view as they enter the ocean of leaves above. Branches bend, with some seemingly giving way out of their own accord, to allow the sauropod ease of flight. In the flurry of green and brown, their pursuers would have difficulty keeping track of their position. Which, of course, was an intentionally-made decision.[break][break]

"More monkeys, fantastic." Alevander's amused smile is present in his response as he addresses the other Rocket members over his earpiece. "It helps that we can take this one in alive or dead. But first I need to deal with the little fly on my tail."

Whether his tactic worked to lose them or not, eventually the Tropis reemerges from the leaves and soars past a rope bridge connecting two treehouses... without its rider on its back. Instead, its body begins to sparkle with sunlight as it soars gracefully through the airspace of rope bridges and branches before it. It bellows in an attempt to draw the ape's attention.[break][break]

[break][break]

Meanwhile, the masked pirate with the fur-collared coat finally saunters out from the shadows, appearing at one end of a long rope bridge. He expertly swings a set of bolas in one hand with a repeated flex of his wrist. There's a swagger to his posture as he stops in place, watching as Zarude's POWER WHIP tries in vain to strike his Tropius down. Instead, branches are snapped and sent plummeting down to the ground far below.[break][break]

"C'mere, lad, just a bit closer..." One exposed eye narrows from behind the cover his mask, tracking the swinging Zarude carefully as the pace of the spinning on his bolas increases with every second.[break]

The masked rider was giving him a run for his money, but money was one thing the boy didn't lack for. Given that he rarely took Spectress on more intense maneuvers, she was having trouble keeping pace with their foe. Still the pursuit was exciting if annoying. Andy held on to his dragon steed and the bare flesh of his knees and elbows cooled by his dragapult's ghostly physiology. Perhaps he should look into a saddle.
[break][break]
''Can you get a grip on him Taph?'' A difficult ask at this speed and distance, but even a little pull could aid in closing the distance. The slightest tufts of white smoke appeared around the young trainer as the gengar tucked within his shadow attempted to grasp at their masked stranger with poltergeist. Alas the foe then disappeared into the trees. His chocolate eyes narrowed but to no avail.
[break][break]
It seemed he had been given the slip.
[break][break]
''Shit.'' It didn't help that several shapes and voices were moving through the canopy. Even besides his masked assailant, he wasn't alone in here. Some shit is going on Perhaps it was some League op, or maybe the fabled Team Rocket everyone liked to worry over, despite the fact that he had never seen one in the flesh. Suddenly a dazzling display through the leaves and bellowing cry of the tropius draws his attention.
[break][break]
''There we are.'' He pressed at his mount. ''Go!'' The dragapult weaved through the foliage to burst into the open, the boy taking in the scene. The leafy white pokemon was bereft of its rider and was under assault by the dark monkey. That must have been the fucker making all the racket It wasn't a pokemon he recognized. Where was his mystery rider? Had the dark chimp dealt with him?
[break][break]
''Draaah!'' The savvy yellow eyes of his dragapult picked out a small spinning motion in the periphery of her vision. Andy followed the slant of the creature's winged head. ''There's the bastard.'' Andy smirked. Given their actions the boy was beginning to doubt the stranger had the best of intentions. ''Shake him up.'' The dragapult flexed as she wriggled through the air. ''Draaa!''
[break][break]
Two dreepy projectiles appeared in her cranial ports before the dragon darts were projected at the tropius. Meanwhile the Galarian eyed the masked man to gague his reaction as Spectress' pretty babies rocketed to harass the offending flying palm tree.

"Somewhere to the south, yeah. I wouldn't suggest going after them. Unless you're sure, you can handle a whole pack of raging monkeys on your own." he warned chryssa glasgow.

[break][break]

Killian recognized the name she dropped, Stormy Silph. He frowned. One of Hoenn's Elite Four was coming here? As if things weren't hard enough. "Fantastic." he muttered, peering out from behind cover.

[break][break]

He could barely see Cinder - still hot on Zarude's trail. Running along beside her was giona ferrara's Manectric. Its owner spoke over the intercom, "Good plan. If my Houndoom can land it, she has a move that's guaranteed to leave Zarude weakened and burned." it wasn't paralysis, but it would make Zarude easier to handle.

[break][break]

First, he needed to get a better view.

[break][break]

Killian released his Staraptor from its Pokeball. A recent addition to his team, it was time to see what the bird could do. He mounted Ventus and ordered the bird to move with a whisper. The two took off, weaving between the trees as they flew.

[break][break]

Staraptor perched on a tree branch closer to the battle. Killian observed the ongoing conflicts from its back in silence. While he did, Cinder continued to torment Zarude alongside the others.

[break][break]

She took advantage of the opening provided by Zorua's Taunt. Crimson flames blasted from Houndoom's open jaw and into Zarude's back. The INFERNO scorched the monkey's body. Zarude howled, pain coursing through it with each movement.

There is only a brief window in which Stormy stares at the girl(chryssa glasgow) as if she had three heads. Her ominous tone and spooky inflection always caught her off-guard, perhaps because of the slight smile she wore and the calm confidence in her delivery.[break][break]

But she doesn't let it get to her because there are more important topics to discuss, such as why there are several people taking off into the trees. It seemed that they were all a victim of hive-mind, chasing after an unknown shape, drawn in by the terrifying scream of an animal enraged.[break][break]

Her own arrogance and lack of attention to detail enables Chryssa to swap herself out with her Zorua, and the woman's Charizard is nonethewiser. Or maybe he is, he simply doesn't care enough to mention it because it has nothing to do with him.[break][break]

Regardless, the three of them plunge deeper into the forest, drawn away from the bustle of the city and the oos and aws of civilians standing on the platforms. They were left behind immediately, an irrelevant background noise. [break][break]

And now, as they grow closer, Stormy is privy to the sight of a teenager grappling what appears to be a defensive Tropius. There is movement on the ground that she disregards at first and she urges her Charizard to pull up near enough to the pair: Andy Blackadder and @lev. Though she can see now that the masked stranger is waiting on a rope bridge carrying.. [break][break]

"Are you.. jumping rope on a rope bridge?"[break][break]

She'd never seen a pair of bolas before, nor was she close enough or looking hard enough to distinguish what it was the man was holding. Fortunately, 'Chryssa's' bizarre series of screeching and hollering - was she feeling alright? - is enough of a distraction that the elite four's Charizard pulls back.[break][break]

Just in time, it seems, to avoid being power-whipped out of the sky. It snaps against the rope bridge where it attaches to the tree. It's a thunderous noise and quite jarring.[break][break]

"What the hell?"[break][break]

It becomes abundantly clear, however, that whatever tussle between man and Tropius is nothing more than an unintentional distraction. On the ground, the Zarude screams as 'Chryssa's' taunt takes effect and the two people on the ground and hidden by the trees use their wits and their Pokemon to clobber this poor Pokemon.[break][break]

"Wait a minute-- stop!"[break][break]

But in tight spaces with a Charizard in amongst the trees, her words would do nothing to curb the fighting. [break][break]

And the more that they had moved in, the more the chaos had begun to spiral. Entropy was a quantity that would be ever increasing and the world showed no signs of bypassing that ever fundamental law here.

As much as she had been wanting to say she held some control over what was happening, she could not deny the fact that the world was moving around and she was being pulled along with it without any say in where she was going.

After all, Elaine was being carried, not by Ginga, but by her current superior’s Charizard and being pulled along for the ride.

So, it was inevitable that she would see someone on the rope bridge before an incoming attack disturbed her view. While Stormy’s Charizard had dodged at the last second, the one that Elaine had been riding upon seemed to act more adeptly as it skillfully dodged with a few flips and rolls.

Unfortunately, it noticed too late.

Mid-dodge, its load had become light, almost imperceptible.

And so, too, did Elaine notice it too late. The world seemed to slow for her.

The weird screeching and hollering from ‘Chryssa’.

The shrieks of pain of the source of the attack.

The thundering of the whips which her mount had just evaded.

All of it melded together as the lack of touch sensation on her butt and the sight of the Charizard growing ever distant caught up to her.

“Ah.”

Her pupils widened. Her heart raced and caught in her throat so bad she couldn’t even scream.

Elaine, with Titania in her arms, had been snatched away by gravity and Ginga was not close enough to catch her.

not all treasures are silver and gold, love

tl;dr: Tropius unleashes Solar Beam. It strikes down the Dreepy, clips Zarude's shoulder, then attempts to strike down Dragapult. Lev casts his bolas at the boy riding Dragapult (Andy Blackadder) while they're presumably preoccupied with dodging.

theme: rope bridge bandit
items of note: a mask, a Rocket earpiece, a pair of bolas, and a dagger

A shifting of his sharp eyes clued him in on exactly what was about to happen. After all, a real pirate knew cannon fire being prepared when he saw it.

"Eskala, truit!" He calls out to his long-necked beast, still whipping his bolas around over his head as the shining Tropius flies back around. The language is foreign, and likely completely nonsensical to these Hoennians, but Ché gets the message.

As the Dragapult explosively unleashes its pair of Dreepy, the Tropius allows the power its been gathering in its core to rise through the length of its neck and burst forth from its mouth as a powerful, shining beam of sunlight. The Dreepy are engulfed by it almost immediately as the beast guides it in a wide arc, clipping the Zarude's shoulder and hoping to knock the Dragapult backwards into a tree itself before the beam dies down.

Deciding to aim his bolas at the interfering child instead, Lev gives them one last powerful swing before casting them forward. They whip around like a whirlwind, hoping to entangle the boy and send him flying off his Dragapult and onto the treehouse balcony below.

"Shouldn't you be in school, pickney? This is a dangerous game you're playing!" The masked pirate calls out, placing one hand on his hip while the other scolds the boy with a wag of his finger. He might have gone to rescue that girl (Elaine Highland ) he saw falling earlier, if it hadn't been for this brat.
