[SKIRMISH] performance

♁ CONTRARY | safeguard, stone edge, gastro acid, sticky web, earthquake, toxic | rock tera

♂︎ DEFEATIST | u-turn, rock slide, dragon claw, pluck, crunch, tailwind

Aurelie Lefevre

Lines were drawn after Sootopolis and Petalburg. Clover had missed the battle, caught up in a hospital in Mauville after falling from a serious height and fracturing their arm, so he'd been laid up during the entire thing. It especially sucked given their interest in the Guardian pokemon; he'd missed the appearance of Regirock. Missing the fights also meant they needed to really show up and show out for the aftermath, which left them patrolling regularly around the border of the newly claimed territory. [break][break]

"Do you think we'll see anything, Miss Aurelie?" Clover stuck their hands in their pockets as the two walked the path. Shuckle cruised right alongside him. The weather was pleasant and the path was seemingly clear, though there would be several hideouts or bunkers they could examine along the way. He wasn't sure if he should be looking forward to a fight or hoping they don't see anything. After the extensive training they did with Hitoshi Inoue , it was important to put in the work, but a fight meant wasting resources and also that the League was trying to make a push on their grounds, so... well, they just weren't sure what the ideal outcome was.

lam logan

"A chatot? Does it mock you?" Clover's eyes glittered with mischief. She'd heard they were very vocal pokemon, and that's why she hadn't sought one out. Flying types seemed to love her a lot, despite her belonging to the Earth sect as a Hoyeon and consequently preferring ground, grass, and fire types that flourished in Fallarbor. [break][break]

They shrugged at the question. "Fossils are neat. I like that they're relics from the ground. Makes me feel like... well, like I'm doing a good deed by helping restore them. Archen, though, I found already restored." He was a good fighter. Lam was right about that. She didn't think his Pidove was anything special, but the pride in its eyes told her that it could put up a damn good fight. [break][break]

Their Oricorios found a collective rhythm, though their styles were still distinct. Watching it got them thinking about Lam's Pidove. "Did you found your Pidove, or did it find you?" Sometimes, it felt like Clover was sought out by their pokemon wayyyy more than she sought them out.

The Dugtrio sprouted from the earth right beneath Clover's feet and upended them. Psyduck instinctively launched herself at the ground pokemon with aqua tail. Being in the splash zone, Clover found themselves soaked even as they scrambled to get some distance. The assault was super effective against the Dugtrio and left them fainted, but Clover's clothes clung to them like they were a skitty in the rain. "Aw, geez." Shoal Cave would give her hypothermia before she could spit the word out, if she stuck around. "Let's get the hell outta here."

"This. Cave. Sucks." Clover was bundled up in a thick jacket and still felt the chill permeating through the layers. Psyduck seemed unbothered. Was it too self-absorbed to realize its environment was dangerous? Was it simply above such concerns? Clover had spent a lot of time with the Psyduck but still had more questions than answers. It was the most difficult psychic pokemon for gauging intelligence, she swore.

Cillian Quinn

Clover deflated a little at the rejection. He didn't know anyone else who had the capacity to control shadows like Cillian, but maybe there were other patrons that could, and they didn't know it yet. He'd have to ponder it more. "Archen's okay... but I guess I should share credit with my Oricorio. She kept the thing confused long enough for Archen to get in some good blows." Clover's smile faltered again as they rolled up their short shirt sleeve to reveal a bandage on their shoulder. [break][break]

"It got me pretty good with its claw." But, hey, it'd been subdued! A victory, even if it wasn't seamless. "It put up a lotta fight, just like the Shard in the Desert [Regieleki]. Mr. Howard's Stakataka team kept us from, like, getting electrocuted." Seeing it up close had only inspired her further to pursue the Guardians to protect Hoenn after all of the unnatural disasters that plagued it. howard slayte had protected them from the Ultra Desert threat, but now she needed to do everything in her power to protect themselves in the face of another Guardian. Fangs was the logical next target.[break][break]

They shook their head to clear the thought. "In any case, I'm glad it's your problem." She crossed her arms, assessing him openly. "I know you've already been brought into the fold-" emphasized with wiggling fingers, "by a Hoyeon, but now that I've met you, I approve of you for my cousin." Cousin being used loosely, of course. "You're welcome in my sect, too, if you find yourself in Fallarbor."

Cillian Quinn

Husband? Tempest didn't share that information! "He might be the coolest of them," she partially concedes, "but if you stick with me, I think you'll see that we do things better. I bet he'll come around." Clover jabbed a thumb at their chest for emphasis. Clover was raised to communicate through food, but they also had a penchant for burning things, so they needed to brush up on some skills before trying to out-do Tempest. [break][break]

Clover's jaw drops at the shadow display, the way it curls around him so naturally despite its supernatural nature. Clover can't decide if the miasma has a mind of its own or if it's more of an extension of Cillian's will, but it's badass all the same. "Damn, can you teach me to do that?" They look between the Flygon and its new master with renewed inspiration, unaware of how impossible the ask is. [break][break]

"It might be more accurate to say it found me. I was leaving the Safari Zone when it struck. Took Archen a lotta effort to subdue it." Clover had thought the shadows were some secret move they'd never seen before, but when it had fainted, it was still surrounded by the odd effect.

Clover feels very lucky as Kit explains the acid Victreebel can generate. They had little interest in experiencing it firsthand, and now they know to keep their distance when they use Victreebel in a fight. "Toxins can be cool, but I got nailed by a Qwilfish when I was younger." Her nose scrunched up. "Shit hurt." [break][break]

Archen scurried ahead of them in the path to investigate an Obstagoon, though he had to dance around it as the larger pokemon struck out with a cross chop. Trusting Archen to handle himself, she turned her full attention to her partner. "I think those guardians are the only ones that can really protect Hoenn. Like, they're all connected to the environment and know things we don't and, like, they've been largely absent until recently. I think they change things."[break][break]

They were tools that served Earth Mother, and Clover trusted that their power could fix the destruction facing Hoenn, especially that that was caused by the League government's careless expansion and development. "I want to find Fang. Er, Regidrago, I think you guys call it. Fang's the most unusual of them, and I think it's very unexpected that way. Summoning the Guardians, though, that's the hard part. They're, uh, not very reactive." Or maybe it was more accurate to say they were just slow to react.

Quick attack knocked Psyduck on her side. Instinctively, Clover pulled a pokeball to release Oricorio. "Tie him up," Clover ordered. Oricorio interpreted this to mean hurricane. The winds forced Treecko into a vortex it couldn't manage to escape from. Without a vine attack to help correct its path, the Treecko grew dizzy and fainted by the time the hurricane finished. "If it works, it works. But I meant more, his mentality, y'know?" Oricorio gave him a look. "Okay, yeah, I'll be more direct next time."

Clover laughed at Lam's commentary. "Yeah," he said as he wrangled Archen into submission, "he's kind of a pain in the a- uh, he's just trouble." Most adults didn't care for cussing and Clover looked young than they were, so they did their best to quit the habit. That, and their mom never let them hear the end of it for using such language, so his ears almost rang pre-emptively when he swore. [break][break]

"But he's a fossil which makes him automatically awesome, so, I can't really bring myself to part with him." Archen cawed indignantly, and Clover finally released Archen to fly up out of reach. "I need to start thinking about battle strategies since stuff is so crazy now. But it's hard to not just carry the pokemon I like." He couldn't battle with a set of Oricorios, now could he?

The Beldum came out of nowhere and struck Psyduck with a zen headbutt. Psyduck smarted, but otherwise looked unaffected. Mostly confused, actually. With its close proximity, Psyduck followed with a cross chop to knock the metal pokemon into the earth. It got lodged into the muddy terrain and struggled to get out. "We'll take our wins where we can get 'em, yeah?" Psyduck said nothing. Clover tossed a pokeball.

Clover turned and brightened at the sight of the familiar Lam. He waved, excited to see that Yuzu was here, too. "Gotta give the people what they want, y'know?" Their Oricorio gang were mastering turn-taking, up until Archen's jealous interruption. Clover grabbed her oldest companion and squeezed the bird into a loose wrestling hold to prohibit him from messing with the Oricorios. [break][break]

"Are you taking a break from, uh, gym-ing?" His Sensu Oricorio started stepping towards Lam, ever-curious.
