Kaida bristled as Selena approached, "No, you-" Whatever she would have said next was completely drowned out in a deafening roar. The explosion flung her and her Pokemon away and she slammed harshly into the dirt. A burst of burning pain crawled up her shoulder, confirming one particular aspect of her injury. She had a new scar to add to her list.

She pushed herself up with pained effort, helped along by the assisting tail of Nid. She waved towards the sky and ordered quickly, "Clear the sky Nid, they can't stay here." The Zubat were in too much danger. Looking around, Nid let out a loud cry and twirled in place, blowing away a huge chunk of smoke and revealing clear air. Hurriedly, Kaida waved them towards it, the missing weight immensely relieving on a tired body.

She held her face angrily, even as Selena offered a plan. "That's very stupid...what can a Feebas do? I have to bring...Jotun!" She called and the Croconaw looked up in confusion, his scales slightly scorched but doing nothing to stop his firefighting. "He can put it out...and Nid will put a Safeguard, it should be long enough to protect us until the fire is gone." She wobbled forward, towards the water's edge. Her jacket was thrown off, simply to make it harder for her to be dragged under, but she still winced as her burns were exposed to air. She could be healed afterwards, she reminded herself, it was going to be fine.

"Then come on, Medusa can lead us easier, and Jotun will pull both of us through the water...it'll be fine." She spoke as Jotun understood and leapt in, Kaida grabbing one of his spines as Nid created a shimmering barrier around them. Kaida leapt in, ready to find the source of the flames.

"Grab on, he's strong."

Charmer [M/O]

"And here's our newest brawler, Snakecharmer!"

That was not the name I agreed on. I was supposed to be The Beast!

This was not an important job, not in the least. However, when the people needed a hero to rally behind, it was eventually decided that somebody needed to do the task...and who better than an upcoming Ranger with iconic Pokemon, her dreams and serpents? She knew that was a load of Mudsdale shit, it was to avoid using somebody deemed too important.

The spotlight was on her, dressed in some terribly tight costume. It had taken some convincing for the scales to look actually real, and insistence that her mask truly look snake-like. By her side, in the corner, was Glima, stretching and letting out disturbing giggles. Even new to the family, the Croagunk already seemed to be happy with the arrangement. That was a happy relevation.

Stretching herself, Kaida glared across the wrestling arena, and snarled. Behind a mask, it was easier to indulge in behavior that would earn her ridicule otherwise. "Well then. I'll devour you!" Yes, indulge a little bit.

Kaida gave a nod of acknowledgment in regards to the capture, but didn't even have time to say a "good job" before two cries rang out. It seemed the commotion was attracting the Pokemon who were lying in wait, or simply disturbed. "Hah, this was supposed to be a day to rest..." Kaida sighed, "Sorry, I need help for this. They can't run wild, or more damage might be done."

Ormr stared as a Crogunk let out a devilish laugh and sprung closer, and looked back at Kaida. Catch it?

"Fine. I'll deal with the Crogunk." She explained, then to Ormr, "Bute hard. I'll catch when ready." Immediately, Ormr sprung forward, weaving around a Poison Jab before rising up, and spitting a Mud Bomb into its flank, eyes glowing to freeze it in place with a Glare afterwards.

The Pokeball throw was simple enough, spiralling towards the shoulder of the paralysed Crogunk.

Orbeetles prided themselves on their high intelligence, even for a psychic type, they were alarmingly intelligent. They had created the illusion of the infested house, they had influenced minds to constantly hear bug-types droning, and they had silently multiplied in the safest place none could enter. At this moment, an Orbeetle thought.

"Tch! I don't like them." An invasive species, and one that had the means to infest a place without even a little bit of damage, no good. "I'm going to guess a good dark-type attack would mop this up." She hadn't meant to be loud enough to hear, nor did she think it would matter, but in that moment, one of the Orbeetles moved.

An Ally Switch changed it with one of the unconscious allies it had, dangerously close to the humans, and its eyes simmered with intent to take out the true source of the invaders.

Generally speaking, a psychic type had the advantage when at a distance, able to attack from its leisure. Thus, it seemed only logical for Kaida to lunge forward, releasing a new Pokemon into the fray. Ormr wrapped his tail around Kaida's shoulder, propelling himself off of her. With his poison typing, it wasn't the best idea, but he had what she wanted, a dark type Bite attack.

Contact.

In her seemingly illogical charge, the Orbeetle didn't have a valuable second to react, and faced a Bite from above as Kaida slammed into it, a furious growl shaking her throat as the two pulled it down and flung it aside like one mind. Calming slightly, she looked back at Orion before returning to the battle.

The Orbeetles were left discombobulated with their failures to turn the battle around, not to mention the Bug Buzz sending them flying around in a daze. Nid flung a Twister at the weakened bugs, bringing them down and ready for being taken by the Rangers. Jotun cornered the last few, kept back by a Psychic that pushed him back like an invisible wall.

"Orion. Can you finish them? Jotun is having trouble. I did tell them to leave, but...the chance is gone." Her moment of ferocity appeared to had never happened, her face abruptly calm once more as she turned to Orion.

"Indeed they do." Kaida bemoaned quietly, stabbing into the cake with her fork. She felt slightly like she was the disappointment, but she didn't very much want to try and change that mindset. If this man was looking for love one could see, she was disappointing. She'd have to accept that.

Plus, he was allowing her not to share the cake, that was fine in her book.

A loud droning rung out, date over. "I hope people don't disappoint you more." She stated sincerely and, sensing that the time to leave was nigh, her Pokemon couldn't wait to trail after her.

Kaida leapt upon the Lapras as well, precariously perching before seating herself near the end, toes practically trailing in the waters. "Normal is rare." She spoke suddenly in response, "And leads to bring weak. I've never been normal, and I like it much better, no matter what happens to me...good that you already feel that way." She cut herself off before shs could say something morbid like: "I hope you don't die before your old like me". It would be genuine, but words like that rarely resulted in understanding.

She watched the land back away from them as the Lapras swam, tilting her head slightly back so she could look at Annie without breaking her gaze, "A mom?" For near the first time today, a smile burst on Kaida's face, "I don't have that many family yet, but I font think I'm going to be a mom except for the little ones!" A snicker broke through her lips, yet she wasn't lying, given the length of time and what age she started with, she thought it more accurate to think of them as siblings, or even the ones who raised her.

"...Were you never normal?" She asked suddenly, eyes searching the seas, "I was, before, but I don't even remember those times."

"Ok. Good to know." Kaida answered, just as straight-laced. She still wasn't sure she liked the situation, but figuring she'd never she this man again helped make the decision easier. Just take it. It's fine.

On the ground, the three smaller Pokemon stared dumbfounded at the bulbous plant monster, Hema pulling Bragi and Ormr close with her tail. It was a miracle the date would end soon, before Hema got too protective.

What are you looking for? Wasn't that the question.

Honesty drove her words, unwilling to come up with a more optimistic thought, "I don't know. I think I thought coming here would make things clearer, but here I am, no more liking people than I was before...so, if I'm here, to learn how this works and make friends...I'm sorry if that's different from you."

Hopefully, honesty was the best policy.

"Yes. He is poisonous." Kaida called from her perch, as Ormr coiled about himself and glared at the fearful human, "Don't stare at him, be too loud...it's a joke. He won't harm you if you don't harm him." She chuckled, still warning the boy firmly. "And don't scream, you'll scare all the Pokemon out."

As if on cue, a mass of purple emerged from a pile of rubble, likely connected to sewers, she realized, a bubbling roar escaping it. "Hmm, this ones really dangerous." Kaida's voice dropped, and she moved to stand, "Don't let it get away. It might poison someone or thing." She directed to the boy, her Ranger duties leading her to not let such a dangerous Pokemon stand. Even other poison-types fled, like a Weedle that desperately climbed rubble up and away.

"Freeze." Ormr's eyes flashed an eerie gold, and the Muk growled, liquid arms trembling as it raised them furiously and found it could no longer move due to paralysis. "Get it." She ordered, as if the boy was another of her Pokemon.

Kaida rapidly checked herself over, and finding no evidence of webs or spikes and the like, concluded rapidly she was unharmed,, "I'm fine, it was trying to grab me with a psychic attack." Her rapid explanation came with a curious question, "These ones are new...which ones are they, again? Psychic bugs?" She reached a hand up and confidently patted Orion on the shoulder, mirroring the concerned touch, "It won't happen again, I got it."

"Jotun, use your best bite." She informed the Croconaw, who stopped trying to snap at the Orbeetles running him through a gauntlet of bugs as they took attacks with Ally Switch, and spun violently to spray an Aqua Tail at the surrounding enemies. The Silver Wind tossed around more of the psychic beetles as they rose in indignation and countered with a synchronized Bug Buzz at the offender.

At the same time, Kaida noticed the flickers of glowing wings and, realizing the Safeguard was keeping them safe from an attempt at Hypnosis, pointed at it, "Nid, bite hard!" She barked, and Nid swung her tail down in a brutal Dragon Tail, slamming the bug down. It didn't rise again. Even with numbers against them, the battle was still equal, and with two Pokemon still ready to go, a confident light entered her eyes.

"You have to leave this home!" She roared, a new ferocity infecting the light.

CHARACTER FACTS
POSTED ON Feb 23, 2020 18:15:21 GMT
Kaida Adachi Avatar



1. A little stunted, being a measly 5'2 in height. It is simply assumed that she didn't get enough to eat when she was young.

2. Uses it to describe herself in self-deprecating moments, but hate, hate, hates being called simple. She had too many instances of it being used cruelly.

3. While her preference in Pokemon is clearly reptilian, she has a liking to dog Pokemon, as they naturally exist in packs.

4. She smiles without teeth, because she just cannot get it out of her head that smiling with teeth is an aggressive gesture.

5. Can talk in sign language, and her Pokemon can understand it too. Sometimes falls back on it when she can't come up with a certain word.

6. While her memory of the past is faulty, she finds remembering short term things incredibly easily, such as the placement of her Pokeballs, and names are easy for her.

7. For the life of her, cannot recognize people by their faces. She mostly recognizes people through voice and clothing. If someone is drastically changed and doesn't talk, she's screwed.

8. Considered a miracle in passing her Ranger tests, but in actuality, had trained and studied very hard for it. Her manner of speaking simply convinced others she didn't retain information like others.

9. Adachi isn't her real last name, but given she couldn't remember it, she accepted the name as her own.

10. Have quite literally fought Pokemon, one on one, and will try to do the same to humans. She fights like an animal, always going for the great weaknesses eyes, throat, and groin.

11. Constantly has to ask for temporary housing in cities she visits for her job, and it's a dice roll whether she uses it or just fell asleep outside the city or something.

12. When she was younger, she was convinced she could talk to Pokemon. Still is convinced she has a way with them on virtue of living like a wild one.

13. Doesn't smoke, hates it in fact, and will only drink at celebrations. Her tolerance is very low. If anything, her vice is food. She has a liking to sugary juices and sodas, and will eat until she's sick if given the opportunity.

14. No records of her exist until she wandered into Slateport one day, nor her family. She, and seemingly nobody else, have no idea who she is.

15. Doesn't actually know Rocket destroyed her home, though this wouldn't change that she dislikes them very much.

16. Covered in scars, mostly old claw marks and bites, but has the occasional new injury or burn added.

17. Would seem like the person who doesn't like contact, but as long as one isn't an enemy, is perfectly willing to hug or literally lean on someone. She just usually won't unless asked, as reading atmosphere isn't her thing.

18. Demisexual and demiromantic, and has no idea. Love that isn't platonic or familial baffles her, and she cannot understand first love sight or tales like that. By virtue of this, never had a girlfriend or boyfriend.

19. Likes legends, especially ones involving monsters that aren't immediately slayed.

20. A realist, refuses to wallow in misery, but refuses to feel safe and happy unless she is convinced she can be so.

21. Likes "little ones", AKA children and baby Pokemon.

22. Her "family" is very big by this point, and added to constantly by Pokemon she finds in destroyed homes or catches because they won't let up.

23. Talks in code for her Pokemon to understand what to do, but will otherwise rarely call out an attack name, letting them decide on instinct.

24. Really does prefer Pokemon over humans, she just feels pointless cruelty happens more from humans than Pokemon, who do what they have to survive.

25. Hair is practically white, still has no idea why.

26. Yes, have hunted and eaten Pokemon, and will do so again, especially given lots of her family is carnivorous.

27. Scared of admitting that, despite her desire for peace, she doesn't dislike it when a situation turns bloody. This also extends to a fear of being creature or human, and the thought of being a monster while trying to avoid human harm. Very much desires to be something not human, so that she doesn't have to worry about this.

Kaida's eyes flick briefly to Bragi, who swiftly quieted and darted behind Hema, and just as brief as her attention was held, her concern was over. Bragi wasn't being harmed, and needed to learn others might take issue with whining. A valuable lesson learned, she might say.

"Er, thank you." Kaida scooped up the flowers, peering at them in curiosity, "Flowers are fine." Flowers. Plant that could be eaten, or could be not, depended on species. They were fine to look at otherwise, and if one of her family members wanted it, they could keep it. A good gift. However...

"I didn't know to bring anything." She admitted, her previous date hadn't required it, did they both just didn't know? "Are they grown by you? Bought?" She was not one to leave indebted, and asked her questions rapidly. A gift of equal value was sufficient later, right?

Kaida sighed harshly, signifying her disbelief in the nap, but shook it off, quite literally, with a shake of the head. "I want to say it'll be better...but that's lying today, I think. It'll be fine later, very later." She offered vague condolences, mouth pulled taut like a rope as she admitted, "The friendly face is helpful, though."

She releases the graceful Nid, who twined around her feet like blue string, "I want you to guard us, we're hunting really bad prey today, sorry." The Dragonair locks eyes with the infested house, and hastily invokes a Safeguard about the humans and Pokemon.

Entering the house was less destructive than Kaida thought, her tossing the door open featuring less resistance than expected...but not for any lack of bugs, no, they were all flying in some important looking group, and looked quite peeved at interruption. A force pushed at her, forcing her deep into the home as she tossed out another Pokemon. "Jotun! Freeze!"

The croc broke free of the light, managing an Ice Fang on the foremost Orbeetle, who released Kaida from its psychic grip to devolve into an icy tussle. While one or two stopped to assist their fellow, the rest turned furious eyes to the duo that had interrupted them.

Next table, next table 6. There.

Kaida seated herself, arms full of both a suddenly mobile Toxel and the food she wanted to keep. In the process, Bragi squirmed free and flopped to the ground, suddenly insistent on having the same food that Ormr and Hema was having. Little ones will be little, she supposed.

Her plate looked meant for two people, and probably was, a cake that was a chocolaty abomination that she scarfed down with little regard to anything else. She herself was easy to spot among the others, and easy to hear due to an errant Toxel denied food.

Whoever approached was greeted with her rising and offering a hand, helpfully cleaned with a napkin, "I hope our time together is appealing. I'm Kaida." She droned, a faint attempt at a smile on her face.

Kjoll reappeared with smoother rock skin and scorch marks upon his flanks, seemed the battle was tough enough to warrant a Rock Polish or two or three. Still, movement was easy and he felt fine enough to rumble back at Annie's wave. So Kaida decided he was relatively uninjured, stroking his head before returning him. "We're thankful." She declared, following after Annie. In the interests of protection, Ormr and Silk stayed upon her, at least until they got near civilization. The Pokemon might try a rebuttal.

And then the talking began. Kaida didn't seem to peeved at the sudden questions, if anything, they reminded her of a little one. If a Pichu zapping one wasn't annoying, she could handle this.

"It was strange. Most wild Pokemon don't divert too heavily from their typing. More danger, these days."
"Maybe back to Slateport, or if there's another job, I go there...I'm not sure where I'm going, but we don't mind."
"Yes, actually. We don't starve and can sleep indoors. It's nice."
"Frankie is...interesting, but it seems to like you. I never saw it before, but there's lots of Pokemon I never saw."
"Don't worry, I'm sure the singing rings nicely, I won't stop her."
"Uh, they're the closest thing I have to family...been taking care of me ever since I was young, I just prefer them now."

She seemed prepared to keep talking, but the two had already arrived at the water. "We can go together, it'll be faster for everyone. Easier too." She stepped up, ready to clamber on and ride off as soon as Annie gave the word.

"Nid, stay close. Jotun. Again." A drizzle of water splashed down of the surroundings as the Croconaw spun with a violent thrash of the tail, spraying the area in water. By her side, Nid assisted the fire fighting Pokemon with a chirping squeal, a shimmering Safeguard protecting the young gator from the licking, greedy flames.

The flames showed no sign of true weakness, even as Silk spat Sand Attack after Sand Attack to smother the fire. If there was one saving grace, lots of Pokemon had escaped the sudden blaze. Zubats clung to her back, refusing to fly into smoke that would suffocate them, and the occasional Geodude was seen fleeing as soon as nearby flames weakened, but it wasn't enough.

The heat dizzied Kaida, not helped by the extra weight of frightened Pokemon clinging to her, and a layer of soot clung to her skin, broken only by streams of sweat running down her face. It wasn't just the heat harming her, Kaida realized belatedly, there was stench and a fumes were in the air. Poison air, probably only kept from true harm by Nid's Safeguard.

The fire was in the caves, and she had to kill it, otherwise she risked both a home and the raging fire spreading. That couldn't happen, never. "Jotun. Silk. Bury it, we can't let it keep fighting us." On cue, the Croconaw took on a red aura and plunged his claws into the dirt as the Sandaconda's nostrils flared. As Superpower tossed a truly enormous amount of dirt into the caves, Sandstorm battered the fires that were spreading. In an instant, the entrance was more clear, though flames threatened to approach every moment.

It was only then Kaida even noticed another presence. Another Ranger? One who had been drawn by the sudden smoke? She peered through the smoke, rubbing her eyes, and found a familiar face, but not exactly one she wanted to see. "Go away!" She had to spit the words over crackling flames, "The fire is powerful, and might spread while I'm getting to the source!" Her yell suddenly broke into a cough, the only sign so far of the toll this was taking on her very human body.
