Battling had never interested him much, but lately, with the things that had been going on, he had decided he needed to get stronger. And one of the best ways to get stronger, according to most people, was the gym circuit. However, there was still his reluctance for battling to think about; luckily for him, there were options outside of battling one could do depending on the gym one applied to; because of that, he had started out with something small. Well, not really small, but small for him considering he wasn’t about to push himself completely outside his comfort zone.
[break][break]
Of course he knew as his trip through the gym circuit continued he would have to get over his hangups about battling. He didn’t really mind battling if he absolutely had to; he had never been the type to go out of his way to battle somewhere, and he highly doubted he would ever get past his hangups completely. At least not to the point he’ll ever be CHAMPION material.
[break][break]
Coming out of his thoughts, he was surprised to find himself in front of the gym he had applied to. As quickly as the surprise flickered across his face, it was gone, leaving behind the usual default expression of impassiveness.
[break][break]
Entering the gym, he allowed his gaze to scan the surrounding area, taking in everything about the gym before making his way over to who he assumed was the person who let the gym leader know a challenger had arrived. After confirming he had a gym challenge with the gym leader set up, he went and leaned against one of the walls to wait instead of sitting down.[break]

It hadn't been that long since Hideo had been cleared to do Gym Work again - and most importantly, that it was safe for him to be exposed to psychic energies again. He still had his Pokemon monitoring him, and his left arm still needed therapy, but he could do what he liked.

Getting back into the swing of Gym Leader work was like riding a bike; a little shaky at first, but he was getting used to it again.

When the challenger arrived, one of his Pokemon notified him - and he was quick to make his way over, the boy flanked by a Beheeyem and an Indeedee.

"Hey!" Hideo said, waving to the man leaning by the wall. "Ever Blackwell, right? I'm Hideo, the Gym Leader here. Glad you could make it! I'll show you where we'll be doing your challenge!"

The boy turned, the Beheeyem and Indeedee following closeby.

It wouldn't take long to walk through the library-like Gym, but the trip there wouldn't be a silent one. "So I like to ask all my non-traditional challengers this: why'd you choose A Monster In The Woods for your challenge today?"

The person that greeted him was only a boy. The fact a kid had so much responsibility rubbed him the wrong way for some reason. Oh no wait, he knew why it bothered him. It was practically the same as being forced to grow up quickly, something he could only relate to so well.
[break][break]
“That’s correct; it’s nice to meet you, Hideo. Feel free to simply call me Ever,” he said, not bothering much with a greeting of his own but considering his more abrasive attitude that wasn’t too surprising. There was also the fact that conversing with others just wasn’t his strong point. Also not really surprising.
[break][break]
Following after the other, he wasn’t expecting much in the way of conversation; after all, he didn’t think holding a conversation with someone like him. Still, despite not really expecting conversation due to always remaining on guard, he wasn’t caught off guard when the gym leader spoke up once more.
[break][break]
The question gave him pause, and he debated the best way to answer. In the end, he decided to just tell the truth the best way he could. Not that he would even consider the option of lying to the kid, even if he wouldn’t go into too much detail.
[break][break]
“With everything that has been going on, I’ve decided it’s best to be prepared for all sorts of scenarios. No one knows what kind of messed-up situation one will find themselves in when it comes to Hoenn,” was his simple explanation. “As for the monster one, well, I feel I’ve dealt with plenty of monsters throughout my life already, so I felt I would be more prepared for the challenge.”[break]

Hideo nodded. "Ever it is, then."

As for his own question? "True enough. Whole reason I made this challenge was because of all those wild scenarios that Hoenn keeps dealing with. Gotta make sure people are ready for all kinds of ordeals, 'cause you never know what's coming next."

It could be quite a grab-bag of scenarios; fighting Groudon by a volcano one day, running through a cyber world the next.

Going into a forest with a monster in it wasn't that far off.

"Well, you'll certainly be dealing with monsters in this story…buuuuut I won't spoil anything for you~"

They'd soon reach the room, a Pokemon opening the door psychically for them. The room itself was well-furnished, with a nice chair for Hideo to sit upon and a comfy couch for the challenger. A pair of Musharna sat upon both seats, and a number of Psychic and Fairy Pokemon were scattered about, watching Hideo and Ever as they entered.

Hideo went to his own seat, the one with a book resting upon it; there was little in terms of illustrations on the book, the words A Monster In The Woods its most striking feature - apart from the braille lettering one could run their fingers along. He swept it up, taking a seat with the same motion.

The Beheeyem by his side went to its own corner of the room, while the Indeedee adjusted the cushion on the chair to make sure Hideo was fully comfortable.

"You can take a seat on the couch," Hideo said, the Musharna upon it willing to move as needed. "You'll want to make yourself comfortable, 'cause this'll take some time."

Once Ever was seated, Hideo would begin. "All you'll need to do is close your eyes, and give it a moment. Just focus on my words, and let them do their work."

His Pokemon went to work, the Musharnas letting out some Dream Mist as they would Hypnotize Ever into a peaceful slumber.

"You'll find yourself in the middle of a dark, foreboding forest…"

"Now open your eyes…"

The transition was instantaneous, Ever now standing within a dark forest. The trees covered the sky, and yet an eerie light illuminated the woods, with no clear indication where the light came from.

Hideo's voice could be heard around him, spoken from above, yet clear, as if it were coming from his own head.

A long time ago, when men still fought with blades and bows, there was a forest that few ever dared venture into - and none returned to tell of what they found within.

And so, people made their own answer: there must be something in these woods. Something that tears apart any who enters the woods, something that none have laid eyes upon. Something that, one day, may leave, and spread its hunting grounds.

There's A Monster In The Woods

And yet…one person had chosen to enter these woods, of their own free will. They had entered despite knowing the risks…or perhaps, because of them.

For they were far more capable than the average person.


may choose one Pokemon they possess. will be able to function as if they were this Pokemon, and is instinctually aware of how to use all its attacks/abilities. They still are human in form, but they may choose to possess minor physical traits (fur, coloration, claws, etc.) appropriate to the chosen Pokemon.

But just who were they - and why had they chosen to enter the woods of their own volition?


Prompt:

Choose a Pokemon for Ever to base his capabilities on.

and

Choose an Identity for Ever from the following:

- Inquisitor: A powerful warrior, seeking to slay The Monster In The Woods

- Seeker: A detective, seeking to uncover the fates of those who were lost to the woods.

- Wanderer: A vagabond, seeking a place to settle down - even if it's in the woods.

Following after him, he listened to what the younger male had to say. He didn’t really understand how Hoenn found itself in the messes it did, but he really wished Hoenn had left him out of it. However, just like always, he had pretty rotten luck; it was actually pretty surprising that he had been able to keep himself out of the strange happenings going on in Hoenn for as long as he had.
[break][break]
“Trouble does seem to just find Hoenn. If I didn’t know any better, I would think Hoenn has some kind of beacon that draws attention to it.”
[break][break]
Hoenn definitely wasn’t safe, and yet...
[break][break]
He would much rather take whatever Hoenn had to throw at him than deal with his father. Some might find that line of thinking crazy. And for the most part, they were right. There was something about dealing with his father that made him feel worse. Perhaps it was because a father was someone he was supposed to trust. Well, whatever it was, he would rather deal with whatever Hoenn had in store.
[break][break]
Surprises had never been something he cared about. However, he would let the kid have his way. “Wouldn’t want to ruin the surprise,” he agreed, not really knowing what else to say.
[break][break]
Eventually they would come to some doors that were physically opened by a Pokémon, and he would be led into a room. After giving the room a cursory glance, he would move over to the sofa and sit down. Getting comfortable was the hardest part since he had to force himself to relax, but it wasn’t long until they could get started.
[break][break]
Doing as he was told he would close his eyes and allow himself to be taken forever to slumber land.
[break][break]


[break][break]
Upon opening his eyes, he would find himself in a dark forest. A quick scan of his surroundings would reveal that the trees blocked the sky, and yet there was an eerie light from within the woods.
[break][break]
His attention was pulled away from his surroundings when the younger male spoke. While not overly common, there were still people who leaned more towards using swords and bows than guns. Pushing aside such thoughts, he would listen to the gym leader continue setting the scene.
[break][break]
Well, he was reckless, often having little regard for his own well-being. Even though Hideo would have no way of knowing that about him, it was still kind of amusing, not that he really showed it. Capable or not, it would still be considered reckless to just walk headlong into a dangerous situation, though it wasn’t like he just threw himself into a tight spot for the heck of it; usually it was done to protect someone else.
[break][break]
With those thoughts in mind, he would make his decision.
[break][break]
PROMPT:
[break][break]
A: Ever is choosing to base his capabilities on Zeraora. Changes will include claws, sharper teeth, and his eyes becoming more cat like though he’ll retain the shade of blue his eyes normally are
[break][break]
B: Ever will Identify as a Seeker[break]

Surrounded, Enveloped.
Ah, yes.

This person was a Seeker, one whose duty was to find those who were lost - and they were more than capable of dealing with whatever could have caused those disappearances. They had been sent here by the family of one such disappearance, a child who had wandered into these woods and had yet to return

It would be this Seeker who would brave the Woods - and whatever Monster laid within, if it barred their path. And they were very well capable of fulfilling that duty.

But first, of course, was to find what they sought. The woods were vast, and there was no clear route or path for them to take.

And their first trial would come to them, perhaps sooner than expected.

A fog rolled through the woods, quickly enveloping the Seeker. It had moved faster than most other fog normally would - and any doubt that this was an unnatural fog was quickly dashed by the litany of voices that could be heard in the fog, laughing and giggling.

"
Another one has come to join us?"

"Yes yes yes! And so soon!"

"But are they here to play? Or are they another boring adult?"

"Oh please, oh please tell us!"

The voices were surrounding them, and they sounded childish. Yet not even a single glint of them could be seen by the Seeker, even if it was clear the Seeker could be seen by them.

What would they do?


Prompt:

Thinking about someone being missing, especially a child, even if it was just for pretense was a bit weird. If he was being honest, it was a bit close to home. Though for him he supposed if he had succeeded he would’ve been considered a runaway.
[break][break]
Thinking this way didn’t bother him. In fact, it was actually thinking this way that he could put himself in the correct mindset. In most cases, when a kid got separated from their parents, they got scared. Thinking of kids being scared wasn’t a nice feeling, and it made him more determined to figure things out and get the fictional kid to their parents. Sure, it was just a story, but what was the point if he didn’t immerse himself in the story? He should at least play the part.
[break][break]
The voices around him had him looking around. Unsurprisingly, he saw nothing. That just put him on guard, and he maintained a still posture as the voices asked questions in a childlike manner.
[break][break]
“Didn’t realize fun had an age limit,” he said with snark. “I suppose I will have to go with a boring adult,” he said with a long drawn-out sigh. Okay, so maybe he was acting more like a moody teenager, but give him a break; he was barely out of his teenage years. Though he supposed he would probably always be a bit prickly. It was kind of his thing. Hey, at least he had grown out of the rolling his eyes phase, well, mostly.[break]

A Little Ambush
The Seeker gave their answer: they were, indeed, a boring adult.

This earned a small set of "boo"s from the voices, clearly displeased by the answer.

"
We don't need any lousy adults ruining our fun!"

"Not after we got a new friend to play with!"

"There's always lousy adults getting in the way!"

The Seeker would be able to hear scurrying all around them. It would be hard to pinpoint just how many creatures were in the fog, but there certainly were a lot of them.

"We gotta stop'em from ruining our fun!"

The creatures' eyes would soon become visible in the fog, if only barely, a mischievous blue glint to them. Whether or not the Seeker wanted a fight, it seem one had come to them.

And this fog wasn't going to make things easy…



Prompt:

Write out your battle against the Creatures. You must utilize at least 3 different attacks that the Seeker possesses, and incorporate at least 1 of the Seeker's abilities in some way. You will be able to control the creatures, who utilize a moveset appropriate for Joltiks. Note: a fog will make it hard for you to see far without assistance, and there are 3 Joltiks overall, which you may discover during the battle.

It was harder this time to resist the urge to roll his eyes; however, he couldn’t quite hold back the scoff. He wasn’t sure what to say. He had a feeling that anything he said would be a lie. If not about the nature of some people, about his own feelings. Lying was something outright refused to do. He needed to say something, though.
[break][break]
Right, the child’s parents were worried. He could go with that.
[break][break]
"So, in other words, you’re cruel enough to allow parents to worry about their child’s safety?” he huffed, shaking his head as if disappointed. “And here I was thinking you could actually be reasoned with, I suppose not,” he said, falling into a stance as he listened to the sounds of movement around him.
[break][break]
Narrowing his eyes, he waited for his opponent to make the first move; only a fool rushed into a fight. Well, okay, he usually did fall more on the reckless side of things, but when he did, he also fell more on the cautious side at times, which was why he wasn’t about to make the first move.
[break][break]
He more heard what sounded like electricity than actually saw it; still, he acted instinctively and dodged, using Agility to safely dodge in time as he avoided what looked like an Electro Web attack.
[break][break]
Having some indication where one of his attackers may be, he charged up his fight with a Power Up Punch attack and surged forward, aiming where he felt one of his attackers was feeling like he hit something; he had to hold back a wince. He wasn’t really one for violence, but it was all just make believe right.
[break][break]
Trying to get his mind off hitting something, he decided he should try and fish for answers. “So considering you’re supposedly going to stop me from ruining your fun anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to at least tell me where the kid is?” he said causally as he charged up another attack, this time a Plasma Fist attack, and waited for a response. Whether or not they actually gave him the answer he sought, he would use that time to strike again.[break]
