MARCH UPDATE

POSTED ON Jul 2, 2023 2:04:21 GMT

"C'moooooooon." Sonikku whined, crossing her arms over one another as the girl would shoot the other ranger a look when told that the cost wouldn't be as cheap as she thought. "I can afford it, just tell meeeee." As she'd she obliged, Sonikku's mouth would hit the floor at the material and payment cost. "Jeez! All that for some costume that boosts you up?! No wonder I barely see 'em. I couldn't even afford that on my parents' allowance." She huffed, giving the green haired ranger a pout. It only exasperated the issue when Shalin had refused to allow Sonikku to ride on her Flygon's wings. Ugh, such a buzzkill! Wasn't she supposed to be the wild one?

Instead, she'd sit back and watch as Shalin would sit down and then be reduced to a constant blur. Sonikku's eyes widened at the sight of this woman being tossed around at such vibrant speeds. The pale peach colored blue blur sat on top of the green coloration, wondering if she was going to turn out alright. But after some time had passed, Shalin stepped off while appearing in good health, if only shaken a bit. Then the invitation was extended to her.

"You bet!" Sonikku eagerly mounted the wing and sat down, grinning from ear to ear. Dusk watched in anticipation, hovering closer as she'd glance over at Shalin. "Alright, let's get shaking!"

Huh, so one of those weird ass crystals could let you do something as powerful as that? Vanessa peered down at the many bodies of Pokémon that were left defeated or wounded, at best, from the Flygon's massive attack. The idea of having everything racing through her head and vibrating was an enticing idea, and one that she personally got excited by. "Kickass, dude!" Vanessa smiled as wide as a Krookodile! "I wanna get like a whole bunch of 'em and make my own Z-Move list! I bet Dusk could swallow an entire Route whole! Or like Faye could shoot a bunch of stars at people. Pew! Pew! Or like…"

Vanessa continued to ramble on eagerly, hyping herself up about wanting her own crystal things before finding out about her sixth Pokémon in that Shalin had been trapped in the discussion with her. "Hehe, sorry. But that's dope! How do you get them? Can I buy them? I've got this week's allowance primed and ready!"

Sonikku sat and listened at Shalin's explanation about the suit. So a suit like that was going to make any Pokemon that the wearer was synched up to way more powerful than it already was? That was pretty cool! She wondered what kind of suit would work better for Dusk and her, although she could only image them being in cute onsies instead! "Eh, pretty cool. I'm totally gunna get one now. I mean, they can't cost too much to make, right? I'll just buy one and then we can be sygna buds!" Sonikku answered back as naively as possible. Although she excitement and energy were commendable, she probably didn't understand too greatly on how these things were made.

But then Shalin seemed to be worried about the girl's ability to handle how much her Flygon's wings would do to her, to which Sonikku rolled her eyes with a scoff. Nothing was too much for the Blue Blur! "Relaaaax, Shalin! I'll be fine. It's just a Flygon's wings. You're acting like I'll be racing around on something super fast, right?" Shalin did give her a look. That look of debating wehether somebody was courageous or just plain dumb. But for Shalin's sanity, Sonikku would relent.

"Okay, okay. I'll use the Seimatoad. Don't worry, this will be easy." Vanessa said, reaching into her belt and pulling out the Pokeball containing her ride. Once the Pokémon was nice and out, Vanessa would climb aboard him, looking expectantly at Shalin. "Ready when you are!"

All of this was still pretty new for Sonikku, who had mainly been focusing on racing in general. All of this added, fancy shmancy bonus stuff was just hearing about it for the first time. She held onto Flit during the Flygon's descent back towards the ground, while still visibly shaking from the vibrations. But at least she was all giddy with excitement! "Totally! What day's good for you? I'm good whenever, but Dusk is usually bugging me to for snacks all throughout the afternoon, so I'll probably need to break off during non if we go then. Otherwise, super open."

"And no, what's Z-Power?" she asked. "Is it some kind of way to make your Pokemon faster or something?"

"Oh, you know me?" Sonikku asked, looking surprised at the superheroine would even know her name. Her mismatched eyes would light up with such glee, such vigor! Only to come crashing down as she revealed herself to not be the Mysterious Heroine Flygon Rider, but Shalin. It was still super cool to see the other woman again, although...she really wanted to meet her superhero. "Oh, Shalin? What're dressed up like that for?" Sonikku asked, stepping closer ever so closely as she went to set on the fence. Dusk would wave back at Shalin, waddling along with Sonikku with a mischievous grin.

She'd lean in a bit closer as the green haired ranger explained a little about Z-Moves and such. She recalled her speaking about them during their last meeting, although hadn't seen many others outside of the one Shalin had used. The brat pursed her lips in thought before nodding her head up and down again. "Sure do!~ Z-Power is kind of cool. I'll have to get one of those suits, but I'll probably shy away from Flygon." she snickered, rocking back and forth as the crazy whirlwind contained in a teenager's body had all but perked up at the potential lead up to a demonstration. When asked about the Seismatoad, Sonikku nodded, twirling a standard pokeball in her hands with a wide grin planted on her face.

"Still do! But why do I need him again? I could just sit on your wings and accomplish the same thing, right?"

It had been another boring day for the aspiring wild child, Vanessa. She was huffing and puffing while kicking around with Dusk that hovered behind her, the Gengar swimming through the ground every now and again before popping up near something that took her interest and then popping back up near her owner. The blue haired girl would grow bored and lean on the wall to the Pokecenter when a local had told a friend of some kind of show or something that was happening nearby. A woman in a strange costume was showing off some kind of moves with a Flygon, riding it around as if it was a Tauros. So, of course, Vanessa grinned widely at the mention when she was overhearing about what had happened. "Finally, some fun! Come on, Dusk!" She sprinted ahead, with the Gengar following behind her. It wasn't long after that she'd spot a Flygon doing some kind of move. She walked closer, curious to see what it was.

"Hey, are you-" Vanessa paused, staring at the suit for a moment or so. It took her a bit of going from the Flygon and to its rider and back again before it clicked in her mind. "Ah, I recognize you." she said as a matter of fact, then soon making an exaggerated pose. She leaned on her front leg, hands crossed into an X-shape while crouching down. "Mysterious Heroine Flygon Rider! Can you do your super cool pose for me? Just like in the manga?"

"Haha...So many Shalins..." Vanessa said, her vision triple of what it had been. Three copies of Shalin rotated around a central axis in her vision, her mismatched eyes being rubbed up and down while the teenager would try and clear them. She grinned at the invitation to meet all of Shalin's other Pokémon. If tall of them were like this, she was going to have a wild time! "I'd loooove tooo." she said while the Yanmega would mercifully steady itself with her aboard. It helped to clear out some of the mental funk she was going through, with the girl slowly being accustomed to the new minor quaking of the bug type's wings. She shook her head a little and would move to lean off the side to peer at the large pack of Thievuls roaming around on the ground below. "Wow, that's a huge amount of of 'em. I don't think I've ever seen so many before. It's like a little thief's convention or something." their presence was noticed as the smaller Pokémon began to attack the Yanmega and its riders.

Thankfully, Shalin would pose while on top of the Yanmega as Vanessa blinked in confusion. "What are you doIIIIIIIING?" she said, suddenly holding onto the tail for dear life as Flit turned upward as began to increase the vibrations in an area around them. It was fierce, with the ground shaking, trees breaking apart, even the Thievuls wouldn't be spared by the intense vibrations. The unfortunate few latched onto the Yanmega would fall down motionless as their bodies probably weren't in the best condition after that intense boom to their organs. The rest that weren't being crushed by trees or anything would flee, with yips and chirps of pain being heard from afar.

"WOw, you did that in like 1 second flat." Vanessa said, pumping her fist. "You're like the coolest ever, Shalin! And that move too! What was even that? Can all Yanmega do that? I gotta get me one and learn how to ride it!"

A billion more questions poured out of the teen.

Vanessa was just dejected, resting in tenth place as she was now fighting back tears. She had trained so hard at the qualifiers, spent so much time with her Pokemon, used all that night time just gone to the wind. Her breath was shaky, hands gripping the reins until they turned white. It was fair! She didn't deserve any of this turnout! The approaching wind tunnel with an acute angle turn was enough to snap her partially out of her current daze, although she was still busy breaking down in the middle of the race. Faye looked up with concern, even trying to slow down as Vanessa yanked up. "Ah-I'm fine." she told Faye, maybe moreso to herself than any other person. "We're not bowing out. Not on the final lap..."

So. Much. Vibration. Sonikku could feel her inside shaking around like a bowl of gelatin. Shalin probably wouldn't be too excited by this prospect, as the poor teen was shaking faster and faster as they flew over the forest. "Nooooot before! How did you even g-get to ride this thing and not exploooode?" Sonikku asked Shalin, her eyes almost bulging out of her head. But even worse yet was that Shalin's Kommo-o could vibrate more and more! There was no way she was going to step forward and try to do something like that! Not unless she wasn't to end up as a pile of goo on the floor. The girl shuddered at thought of such a fate before a noise below had taken their attention from the leader. Sonikku leaned down, trying to see over the Yanmega. "Huh? I didn't hear anything? I can't really feel anything either..."

"Well, duh!" Sonikku said, sticking her tongue out. "I'm a bit of a speed demon! So anything that's a wild ride is gunna take my interest." Her hand fell over to gently shower Verte with more affection, although hoping that he wasn't going to crunch down on it. Josh brought up that one woman that he had done a while back. The green haired girl that was said to have a love of getting into trouble and getting a little wild herself. It was just as enticing now than it was a coupe days prior. "That's good to hear! I bet the world could use another of me around, hehe~" she chuckled to herself, puffing her chest out proudly. The other pokemon nearby did their only little things while Sonikku leaned forward on top of her mounted ride. "So how often do you race by air anyway? I thought a lot of it was on the ground?"

Simba skidded up to Vanessa, the multicolored haired teen still looking up at the pokemon and the rider as her brain was still kinda goopy from the little crash that she had taken. Josh was all worried and frantic over her crashing into a field of Milktanks and such, but she was just as chill as ever. Maybe unnaturally so from the possible concussion. "I'm good, I'm good...Heh, I bet it looked cool though~" She grinned at him and slowly pushed herself back onto her two feet. But that mention of the other friend who might have matched her little wild style was interesting. "Oh yeah?" she asked curiously, her eyes showcasing the anticipation at meeting a kindred spirit. "Do they do kind of crazy stuff like this all the time too? Also, do you have any headache medicine? My head feels like a Cubone is banging on it."

Well this was going poorly. Vanessa was almost in dead last and everyone was way ahead of her. She'd punch the air and let out a frustrated cry. Her little fit of rage had almost thrown her off of Faye had it not been for the Togekiss' quick acting and such. "Graaaah! This isn't fair! Time to break out our little trick, Faye!" The flying type let out a happy chirp while preparing herself for their little boost power up. The Togekiss held itself to gather energy before soaring forward, gaining some much needed speed to stay in the race.

Okay, so that was just a fluke! Faye had some trouble getting over the first few turns here and there, as Vanessa was nearly thrown off entire as she leaned on the other side to help straighten the Togekiss out. "You still got this, Faye. Focus up and eyes on the prize." They had fallen pretty behind on everything, but things could always get better! Faye went to guide her and her rider through the rings while keeping time in the race.

Pat. Pat. Pat the gigantic Beedrill. Sonikku had been uber excited to see such a big Pokémon. No wonder Shalin could get to anyplace in a hurry! With a ride like this, she could be just about anywhere! The green haired woman shared her sentiment about getting along with one another. Josh pretty much called it from the first utterance about Shalin. Sonikku was just happy to see that it was really true! A super hyperactive woman with a love of going fast mixed with outside of the box thinking! "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing~" she smirked, "Josh told me some stuff about you, but not everything! What kind of other Pokémon do you have? Anything that can go as fast as Josh's? And what adventures and stuff have you been on?" The girl was already looking at and asking Shalin about her experiences, a glimmer of amazement in her eyes as she was catching up with everything she was saying. The woman sent out her Yanmega, which only made Sonikku talk even faster. She was bouncing off the walls with what they would be doing today, so it was hardly a chance that she would let those dogs win!

"Flit, huh?" Sonikku asked, leaning forward as she beamed at the Yanmega, gently giving it a pat as well. The carapace was pretty thick! "Nice to meet ya! Can't wait to ride with you!" Shalin handed her earplugs that the younger girl did take, but not without a questionable glance. But Shalin definitely had way more experience with her rideable Pokemon. Sonikku put the plugs in her ears as instructed to and slowly got up on the saddle of the bug type. It was still out of this world to imagine her riding on a bug type like this! Once she was fully seated and sat down, his wings began to hum as their entire form would vibrate. It was only a minor shake by the start of things, like sitting on one of those shaky chairs at the mall, but after a few more moments, the intensity was that of an earthquake! She grinned ear to ear, laughing all the while Flit was turning her insides to goo with his vibrations. "Let's go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!" She yelled out, using the reins to guide the party in the direction of where the Mightyenas had been terrorizing the daycare Pokemon at. On the way, Sonikku would slowly get used to Flit, feeling right at home in the skies above. Shalin stayed nearby as Sonikku would be having the time of her life. "Who-o-o-a-a-a-a! I fe-e-e-e-el like one of tho-o-o-o-ose shaky pudi-i-i-i-iings!"
