“Maybe,” she started, but was not very convinced. It was one thing to feel cozy by the fire. But it was another to just fall asleep mid-battle. Granted, that was the purpose of the move sing. But still! It was a bit bad in a situation like that. And especially so given that, well, it was still not waking up.

Even after being hit by X-scissor. “Ugh, really? No, this can’t be!” Despite her outcry, Arcanine was still soundly asleep, even as it was losing hitpoints all over the place. Really, that was how the battle she had rushed so hard to get to would end? With a single sing just putting her Pokemon to sleep forever?

Sing. Huh? That was….unconventional. Who sung a lullaby in the middle of a ring of fire? No one could be that calm. And no Pokemon could just fall asleep during that, especially after just having been slashed and after….what?

“Uh, Arcanine?” Megan tried to wake it, but the Fire type had just decided to lay low for a moment and doze. Granted, she wanted to do precisely that as well, but at the very least, Megan still somehow managed to stay awake. Arcanine on the other hand just…stayed asleep.

Yes, yes a lesson. A lesson that it had already learned, that much was for certain. Arcanine took the night slash, wincing, but still standing – and retaliated by crunching down on the bug that so foolishly had positioned itself right in front of it. A walking buffet, one could say.

There would be no mercy and no relent until the bug was down. That was how she had been taught to handle these things. “It is quite sturdy, despite how it looks,” Megan commented, though quite intently focused on the battle in the flames.

If she had learned anything in her fight with that guy it was that she did not have to hold back with bugs – and that she should destroy them as quickly as possible. Hence, Arcanine was taking the Bugg Buzz like a champ, and instead sought to burn and damage the Kricketune, having rushed into it at full speed.

“Good, don’t let it escape now! Flame Wheel!” Her order was obeyed and Arcanine flared up sending a wheel of fire around the two of them that hopefully, that thing could not escape easily at all. They would keep this up close and personal, finishing as quickly as possible!

Oh no. A bug. Megan immediately reached for Arcanine’s ball and sent him out. Yeah, she had brushed up on her bug knowledge after her match with the eponymous bug leader. “Oh. Doug. Yes. That one,” she replied, too, making it fairly evident that she had fought him as well.

Though the difference was, she had not lost. And that had been without Arcanine. That one was not at all intimidated by the Kricketune’s antics, but instead let out an intimidating aura of its own. “Well then, let’s waste no time, Flare Blitz!”

Phew. In the nick of time. That was good enough. Meant that she could take a few moments to just…breathe…yes, that was a good idea. Slow and steady. She got back into it soon enough and, somewhat shakily, got back into a proper stance.

“Yeah, I am fine. Totally! And one on one is fine! Let’s do this!” Switching gears into combat mode, she already seemed pretty fired up then and there. She had to be. If she wanted to win against anyone here, she needed to do her best. Even if she had to turn on her body’s emergency generators. And a heaping dose of something sugary she had just basically inhaled while running here. That got her both hyped and tired. Hypered?

She….she had made it. Somehow. Truth be told, Megan had heard of the tournament before, but going on a trek through the Badlands had waylaid her for quite a bit. And once she had returned to civilization, it had apparently already started! Rushing herself like crazy, she had barely made it in, her registration almost being voided for being so late.

And yet, it had taken a few minutes for them to find her an opponent. At least one. Meg wanted to not completely miss this tournament at all! Not after earning her first badge. Hence, she ran to the venue as fast as she could, barely making it in time to find a woman already standing there, ball in hand. “Hey…..hah…..I hope I am not….too late,” she started, barely being able to catch her breath and thus panting.

Noticeably, the other girl on the beach was evidently utilizing her Pokemon to assist her with the task. Which actually was not a bad idea at all. Briefly, Meg debated doing the same. Yet, not many of the Pokemon she had with her would be any good for that. Arcanine could sniff at trash, but would have trouble properly picking it up. And she certainly did not want him to put any of this into his mouth. Lucario could technically do it, but she could already tell that the fighter would be quite annoyed by being given a task like this. Ampharos was too much of an oaf and Hydreigon, well….this did not really strike her as the correct kind of situation to unleash a three-headed huge dragon of darkness. That called for somewhat dire situations, not a brief clean-up of a beach. Well, it probably could clear it quickly. Just not in a very good way.

Ah, well. She just had to do it the old-fashioned way then. That was fine, too. Just meant she had to try harder herself and work for four! Though, admittedly, she probably did not have to, since that squabbling trio was not terribly efficient, it appeared. “You seem to be gathering quite a few of the cuter types of pokemon,” she decided to randomly say, when close enough to the other for her to hear. It was probably a little pointless, but hey, she did quite think herself right in that instance. These three were awfully committed to that archetype, after all. She knew because she kind of rejected it herself.

“I never got into cats. Way too demanding when you got a proper job,” she replied, though she knew that it probably sounded odd. Usually, people saw it the other way around, with dogs requiring more walkies and the like, while Cat-like Pokemon were a bit more self-sufficient. Yet, to her, it was more the emotional aspect of it. An Arcanine was a loving companion that would always look up to you. It required your attention, certainly, but it didn’t demand it. A lot of cats instead acted like they were your boss – and she got enough of that at work, really. She didn’t need that from a Pokemon, too.

Hence, she’d stuck with dogs. “I have actually been thinking about being steel heavy, really. Those Pokemon are usually pretty cool and tough. Though dragons are also neat. I always wanted an Hydreigon, for example.” And one day, she would get one. She was quite sure of that.
Not that day, though. That day, they were bringing back Mareep to a place that looked somewhat ill-equipped for holding them. Then again, that man himself had seemed that way. And yet, he’d had a flock like this in general. That probably meant that he was at least capable of dealing with these mon’s to a certain extent.

“Not our problem. We’re just helping out. And besides, this is probably not his first rodeo. It’s going to work out somehow, I guess.”

It was one thing after another, really! She managed to capture the Lairon, and immediately there was a screech from the cave’s ceiling and a Hawlucha dive-bombed her Lucario, driving it back, hurt, but not down. The fighter did pant though, as did Megan, even though she hadn’t really exerted herself. At least not physically. But mentally, she was caught up in all this fighting now, even wincing when her Pokemon was hit. That was how she sometimes got, really. And it was something that she was trying to get better at. In fact, part of their training here was meant for her as well in that aspect. To control this thrill of battle better.

But she was still working on that. And now, she succumbed to it. And with that Lucario. He continued on with the Close Combat, exchanging blows with the Hawlucha. Due to reducing its own defense in the process, he took a lot of nasty ones, but fortunately, he still was better trained than the wild Pokemon. He stood victorious, though unsteady, wobbling on his feet. And that sight was enough to help Megan calm down a little. Being in such a sorry state, she snapped out of her stupor and recalled him, before throwing a ball at the Hawlucha. “W-well done,” she told the ball, almost out of breath, her heart beating fast, though not much had changed. Somehow, this rattled her on a level she couldn’t define.

Hey. She did recognize that voice. It was the guy with the same name as the champ! Well, fancy seeing that one here, along with the gym leader guy. Though this time, this time they were on opposing sides instead of faint acquaintances. She would give no quarter and show no mercy to those Kyougres, even if they implied they were champs. Even champs bled. They could be defeated.

Or, well, she could just continue with this Tug-O-War without turning it into a war story. Then again, the guy who styled himself a military man was on her team here. So she couldn’t be faulted for being off-message, right? “Smash in that frozen tooth then!” Yeah, best to go all out here! She was getting into the groove here while Lucario jumped to intercept that fang with his Rock Smash.

When Reason Sleeps [DW]

POSTED ON Jun 7, 2021 17:35:53 GMT

Phew. They survived that. And she’d caught an Hydreigon. Wait, she caught an Hydreigon?! Meg’s eyes snapped back to the ball, which had stopped wobbling. That…was pretty amazing, wasn’t it? Well, to her it was! She’d always wanted a big, strong dragon. That was part of the reason as to why she had taken this route to begin with. But she had not really expected to be successful.
Taking a deep breath, she found herself smiling, especially when Arcanine returned to her side, lightly panting. “You should take a little rest, I reckon,” she told him, recalling the fiery canine – only to then replace him with another somewhat dog-like Pokemon, as she brought out Lucario again.

There was movement in the tall grass again, after all. The strange woman caught her attention first, though. A compliment, though for some reason it kind of felt at least a little bit back-handed? She could not put her finger on it, but she certainly did not feel praised at all. “Likewise,” she replied, slightly mechanically though.
Then, she was pointed at the two Pokemon moving nearby. “True, true. But it’s the evolved form of the one I caught the other minute. I’d rather train my own.” Plus, she somehow felt more drawn towards the Poochyena. Almost felt bad to beat it up, so she patted Luca on the shoulder. It was a bit of a sign they set up together.

Thus, the Lucario would rush at the Poochyenda, purposefully striking the ground in front of it instead of attempting to hit properly. The other Pokemon howled defensively, but did not run away. It intended to fight. Megan nodded and Lucario instead went on to start a Close Combat, exchanging punches and receiving minor bites in return. That little one was a fighter. Hence, Meg would throw a ball at it, seeking to add it to the team.

Well, couldn’t argue with that. It was pretty straightforward, after all, and she could not have a rebuke for this, even if she wanted to. The girl was just right, in the end. Nothing more to be said, really. Most things in life only started to matter once one did them, and until one resolved to do them, they would just remain fantasies. At least that was how she took all this, of course.

However, the conversation soon took a turn more towards team composition, which was always a bit tricky for her. “Hmm, Arcanine and Lucario will be on it for sure. They are my oldest companions, after all. Aside from that, there is Swampert. Though I kind of want to have a proper theme of sorts, if that makes sense? I mean, I could technically just go with Pokemon I like, but I feel like having something connecting them would be nice, too. I definitely want something big and badass, though!”

Meg threw back her head and laughed. While that was true, she had to admit that it sounded at least a little bit silly in the end. “Just always moving forward, I guess,” she replied, somewhat mechanically, since she was not entirely sure if the last part had been directed at her – and whether or not it had actually been a question to begin with.

This was decidedly not what she’d expected. But a certain bugged-out gym leader was here. So naturally things got weird by nature. And, apparently, they officially had to be. This was not exactly what she’d thought she signed up for – but Meg would not be caught slacking off, especially not in front of that man.

And then someone threw friggin’ rocks at them. “Lunatics, all of them. Take them out,” she commanded her Lucario, who briefly stopped pulling, instead, he’d jump up in the air and Close Combat the heck out of some falling stones. Because if there was a boulder, it needed punching.
