MARCH UPDATE

POSTED ON May 4, 2023 8:58:19 GMT

Unfortunately, the two Sableye were kncoked away from the Dazzling Gleam, taken out of the fight as they'd lie down in the alley. Meanwhile, the Trubbish poked its head out of the garbage can, looking at the two before launching a glob of Sludge at the Ceruledge before hiding back in its safety rubbish bin. Meanwhile, the Houndour followed this up with a loud howl, then unleashing a fiery hot Flamethrower down the alleyway towards the Pokémon and its trainer. Vanilla fared well against the others, with the Iron Thorns bouncing away the Golem with a fierce uppercut.

"O-Okay. Better now that I'm fighting side by side with THE Thomas Benoit! You're like a living legend!" she answered back, the gang of thugs starting to slowly disperse.

"This sucks, man! I'm out!"
"What kind of Pokémon are these? I quit! Let's book it before we get arrested!"
"Damn it! Pockets! Get the kid and her microwave out of the picture!"

The Persian leapt over Thomas and his Pokémon before scuffling with Vanilla and her Iron Thorn. It clawed against the Iron Thorn, using Fury Swipes to land fast attacks against the Paradox Pokémon. The towering Pokémon let out pained, annoyed grunts as it tried to shake the attacker off of its body. It struck fast and quick, with Vanilla uncertain of what to do. "Ah, Electrolyte, try and get him off! Wild Charge!" She barrel forward, surrounding itself with electricity while its attacker would continue to struggle.

The change to Electric Terrain had caused both of the Pokémon to power up exponentially. Iron Thorns churned with electricity as it let out a thunderous cry, ready to do battle. The same happened with Thomas' Pokemon as they each launched into battle with the other enemies. The Scizor, having been bested, would collapse to the ground with the second Bitter Blade, the leader cursing out loud as he recalled it into his Pokeball. "Well don't just stand there, you idiots! Get them!" The two Sableeye began to rush towards the Ceruledge, lashing out with Shadow Claw each time.

Meanwhile, with Vanilla, she'd quickly take snaps of the Pokémon in the alley every now and again once the enemies outside were done attacking. Electrolyte stomped closer towards an unfortunate Heatmoor before kkicking up a chunk of the sidewalk at it, throwing it away. Everything else had faired better off, although Vanilla would keep blocking the backside of Thomas. "Hit 'em with another Rock Slide! Then Wild Charge the Golem!" The Iron Rock swung its tail to knock more rocks off, then took off in a dead sprint to the other, clashing against the ground type as they clashed against one another.

"Doing okay, Thomas?"

Scanned:

Ceruledge, the Fire Blades Pokémon. The fiery blades on its arms burn fiercely with the lingering resentment of a sword wielder who fell before accomplishing their goal. Ceruledge cuts its enemies to pieces without mercy.

Vanilla's heart beat in her chest rapidly, feeling the Scizor's clamp around her neck tighten in preparation. Her eyes went to Proxii as the Rotom would muffle out several strings of vulgarity that she didn't even know her phone could have. But as the Rocket grunts threatened the man, he'd stay collected and cool as ever. Her heart sank as Thomas kneeled to place down his belt before suddenly, the world around her would physically shift. Vanilla found herself collapsed in the entrance of the alleyway, looking at the spot where she was at as the sound around her had gone silent for everything but her heart. SHe had been frightened, terrified of having her journey end so tragically. She'd try and calm herself, breathing in and out as she felt the familiar sensation of a soft weight against her head. EYes went up, looking at Proxii who was carefully tugging on her arm towards the people coming from behind them both. She'd slowly regain her hearing just in time to hear the cries of nearby Rocket.

"You little tricky shit!" Cried the man that had tried to hold her hostage, now watching his Pokémon get attacked. "Steeltrap, Metal Claw!" The Scizor went for the Ability Swap'd hostage Pokémon just before Thomas' second had shown itself. "What the hell is that?!" The leader asked before the Dazzling Gleam would shower upon the other pokemon down the alley. They'd stumble, dazed by the attack, but quickly move in to pounce on the two Pokémon.

"Guys! They're not giving up!"
"BRING OUT THE BIG GUNS!"

She looked back to see other Rocket member scurrying towards them with their Pokémon out. "A-Ah, get my stuff, Proxii!!"
"On it!"

The Rotom swooped down towards everyone's legs after abandoning her phone, jittering around to go and collect Vanilla's pokeballs while the small group was getting closer. Just in the nick of time, Vanilla looked to her side and smiled at her team being dropped off by her helper. Thinking quickly, she threw out the oddly colored capsule first. Mainly just to show off to Thomas but also because it could handle itself well. "It's your turn, Electrolyte!" The capsule opened, as a towering mechanical Pokemon would let out a digitized roar as the other grunts moved back in surprise.

"Pin Missle!" The Iron THorn's barbs grinded together, soon shooting out across the environment as people dove for cover, got stuck with needles or had their clothing torn to shreds. Proxii followed this up as he'd pulse with electricity and shoot it off in a condensed mass towards an enemy's Fearow.

"Thank you for saving me." Vanilla said in appreciation. "I'll take the ones behind us if you can handle them in the alley."

The group of thugs turned to face the voice, as did Vanilla and Proxii. The trainer let out a surprised gasp, that familiar voice! Standing in the middle of the entrance to the alley would stand a tall man with a scar over his eye. AT his command, some few thugs would take off down the alley. With them gone, there came to be only six people left in the alley with their Pokemnon. A Houndoom growled at the newcomer, with the 2 Sableyes digging through her bag looking up, a Scizor doing nothing, a Trubbish trembling in a garbage can, and a Persian perched atop the catwalk above.

"Cheese it! It's the League!"
"I can't go back to prison! I'm out on bail!"

"Hold it right there, pretty boy." However, the man holding Vanila was cocky, taunting the man with a knowing grin as he picked up Vanilla from the wall, still holding her by the throat. She grunted, trying to pry his hand from her neck but to no avail. "In case any of you forgot, we've got the advantage here, Scarface. Not only is it 8 to 1, but the moment you try anything..." SHWNG! A Scizor's vice went around Vanilla's neck he pulled awya, now being held up by this steel-bug type. "We're going to add three extra holes to this girl's neck. So why don't you empty your pockets and we'll take those pokemon off your hands, you hasbeen elite 4."

It had been an average day in the late spring slash early summer for the young Vanilla and her RotomPhone, Proxii. The two had been busy casting a line over near the water as Proxii scoured the surface for their target. "There's got to be a Briney Root down there somewhere. I can almost taste that Breamy Soup!" he buzzed aloud. The semi mute girl behind him would nod. She had been through so much in her travels so far. Meeting all kinds of people, getting possessed, and even almost losing Proxii. Although she had normally been so meek and timid, the girl was starting to find her own voice in Hoenn. Something that she never would have expected back in Galar. Vanilla smiled to herself, enjoying their little hunt for their next ingredient.

Just as the day seemed too perfect to ruin, 2 shady individuals would come from behind. They summoned a variety of Pokemon as she looked to her left at their approach. "U-Uh...Hi?" They grinned, barking orders at her to drop the rod and give her everything she had on her. Unfortunately for them (and her herself), Vanilla instead reached for her first three Pokeballs and threw them out. An Altaria, a Sylveon and a Cinderace would pop out in due time. "We've been needing a couple of practice dummies for some training! Come on and get it you big fat jerks!"

A few short minutes of intense battling later, Vanilla had ben dragged into an alleyway by the two thugs plus the many more than jumped out of the blue the moment she had gained an advantage. Despite being outnumbered, the girl had done a pretty good job at holding them off. She was held by her throat against the wall by the Rocket grunt, squirming to try and get free while her bag and RotomPhone were taken from her. "Lemme go! I'll charcoal every last one of you! Vanilla! Hold on I'm- HMMPH!MMMMPH!" His speaker was muffled through the arm of the Rocket member while the trainer grunted, kicking her feet. "Ge-Get off..."

Bake and Barter [M] [ELISE]

POSTED ON May 2, 2023 7:40:51 GMT

Vanilla laughed softly at her mention of trying to see if there was such a hat for herself one day. The young baker's apprentice would be more than happy to be a little hat mannequin for the princess to use and model with, her youthful head bobbing up in down in agreement. "That would be nice. I wonder if it comes in pink." ELise did appear genuine in wanting to perfect her baking skills, and Vanilla shared the same sort of aspirations in a way. Baking for Pokemon was just as hard and tedious as making things for humans. So it would be the highest honor for her to teach a member of the royal family! Maybe her Mom would stop bounding her about what she's done and such after this little tidbit got dropped on her.

"Ah-It would be my pleasure to teach you what I know. Both right now and in the future." Vanilla said while beginning to clean things up from the table now that their stock had all but been diminished. Still, she had thoroughly enjoyed the day's offering and even gave a beaming smile in return. "If you ever need anything again, let me know, Elise. I would be an honor to be with you again."

Cargo? Yeah They Do That [Postdormitum]

POSTED ON May 1, 2023 1:03:27 GMT

"A couple. Nothing severe, just...We've been down here for a long time." Vanilla said. Her clothes were messy, dirt and other materials clung to the fabric. Even her hair was a bit frizzy and showed a lack of a good meal and some rest. Vanilla stood and sized up the man in front of her. The bug type got close enough, her Rotom possessing phone hopping up to follow its trail as the teen would shake her head at his question, Or rather, her exhaustion from wandering around.

"Yeah, I...know about the Nhilego. We were attacked by some deeper in the caves. There's a nest and...N-Nevermind. We were down here looking for somebody is all. Are you a part of the League?" she asked, hopeful that she might have known about her father.

Vanilla continued to cry a stream of bottled up emotions, reducing to a blubbering mess of a cook that had little idea as to what to do with her life. All of her mission thus far was to focus on her father, and without the wormhole, this was as good a chance as any to go and verify that he wasn't sucked down into any single one of these wormholes. The other woman showed some amount of patience and understanding, as Vanilla felt the weight of her hand on her shoulder. It left some small amount of support that Vanilla had never really felt before from another person.

"I never even got to shay goodbye *hic*..." She said, her face firmly pressed into the clothing of the Ranger in front of her while being consoled. It wasn't long afterwards that she looked up and would catch sight of the Ranger handing her a handful of supplies and such. Stuff for the trip inside of the Ultra Space. The teenager looked on in awe while her eyes glued onto the supplies. All was quiet for a moment as the younger girl said nothing for a moment. Then, just as all seemed as if something was wrong, Vanilla wrapped her arms around the Ranger and hugged her tight.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you…" Vanilla said, drying her eyes after removing her glasses in front of her face. She squeezed a bit before continuing to cry for a minute or so more until she had finally let everything out. After that, Vanilla sniffled and offered a sincere smile. "Ah-I'm sorry about what happened to your Dad. I won't forget this. Here." Proxii quietly and tearfully (could Rotoms cry?) pressed up to the woman's phone as they exchanged contact information with one another. "I'll call you as soon as I get out of there to make you know I'm alright, o-okay?" She smiled, starting to run away before hesitating for a minute, then spinning around.

"Ah-I’m Vanilla, by the way. It’s nice to meet you."

Vanilla just glared at the woman as she continued to try and stop her from entering the rifts. Her determination was solid and she seemed ready to go and leave her behind, but at her touch, the teen stayed to listen. The pink haired woman spoke about her own little experiences with Team Rocket. Her eyes widened at the discovery of what fate befell her father, with Vanilla frowning still as she listened, her legs would grow unsteady. Everyone from before had just come out in one torrent of rage. And it continued on as Vanilla's expression worsened into one of holding back tears. Her will was crumbling as the girl finally relented and dropped to her knees, reduced to a crying mess. She covered her face in her hands, starting to sulk as her emotions just spilled out of herself.

After a small minute of just sulking and gasping for air, she finally found the courage to speak. "It's not fa-fair! Why did it have to happen to us? We did everythi-ing *hic* right...I just want to see him again. Just one last time..." She cried a whole bunch again, wiping her eyes on her sleeve while suffering from her little outburst.

Just when she thinks she's home free, a hand reaches in and pulls the poor teen back in. She squirms a bit, trying to free herself from the Ranger's grasp while the woman continues trying to talk her out of going inside of the holes again. She talked and talked and talked but eventually, she couldn't take it anymore. Her brows furrowed as Vanilla would slowly pull her arm back towards her. "And what?! Sit back and let everyone just casually look around for the next thirteen years like you've done?" Her voice raised, face showing signs of frustration. "One Ranger goes missing and everyone pretends to care until it gets too hard. Then months, years of work just gets thrown away! He's still missing, but everyone else cares about whatever else! What about my family?! We didn't have a father because of everyone here! Nobody in the League cared about us! ALl we get is a letter and a backpat wishing us luck!"

Vanilla stopped to gather her breath, her voice echoing from the cavern walls. SHe was screaming, not feeling the salty tears streaming down both cheeks while huffing and glaring at the woman and her Musharna. "...That's why I have to go down there. Not for the League or recovering anything. I deserve to know what happened to him." She said, reaching for her Pokémon belt.

"If you don't get off me, I'll make you."

The sound of another voice had caused Vanilla to freeze in place. Her face rotated around while holding onto Proxii, her RotomPhone. She looked all around for the source of the voice until another man had walked closer towards her with a stern looking expression. He adjusted his backpack slung over his shoulder as an uneasy feeling went over her. The teen carefully went to her waist, ready to pull out a Pokemon in defense as she answered his question. "V-Vanilla Kingsley, just a civillian here, looking for somebody. Now who are you?..."

Her attempt at stepping around the woman was still blocked. Vanilla frowned at her, putting on her best look of frustration behind the screen of a phone. Her Pokémon behind her takes precaution and billows a pink color smoke that fills the cavern area behind her. Proxii, the ever peppy Rotom, would take a small screenshot of the Musharna as a soft robotic voice emit from his speakers.

Musharna, the Drowsing Pokémon. The dream mist coming from its forehead changes into many different colors depending on the dream that was eaten. It drowses and dreams all the time. It's best to leave it be if it's just woken up, as it's a terrible grump when freshly roused from sleep.

"Please, get out of the way." Vanilla warned, shaking her head. "You know that I won't turn around like this." She hesitated, waiting for the woman to get out of the way before just tackling her way through the woman, using her shoulder as leverage to charge through. Of course, she hit the ground face first, with Proxii flying up just in time to avoid getting his screen shattered. Vanilla scampered on through, grabbing her RotomDex as she held it to her chest and began to run through, covering her mouth and doing her best to limit the amount of dream mist that she might inhale.

"I-It's my Dad." Vanilla answered. She didn't really pick up on anything that tipped her off on the woman having anything but her best interests in mind. So she could just go ahead and tell her the honest truth. The teenager faced the ground again. "He was a Ranger before I was born. But one day, he went missing and never reported back in." She said, motioning to the area in front of them both. Vanilla had to hide her worry and shame, slowly pushing past the words of this helpful Ranger as she stopped them for long enough. "If there's a chance that he fell into one of these wormholes, then I have to go inside of them. I have not know what happened to him. No matter what." The teenager said, beginning to walk past her.

"I'm sorry, but I can't stay here."
