A Peaceful Forest. Akuroma Meets an Old Friend of Avaria's?

First topic message reminder :

Akuroma shuffled through Pecha Forest silently. Just an hour ago he was at the Dojo training, yet he was already going to train the new move he learned, Thunder Punch. Thankfully the rain had stopped a few minutes after he left the dojo. As he made his way into the forest he pulled out an Oran berry and ate it. He had forgotten to eat after training, so the berry would have to make due. The forest sounded like it was still raining with all the water that was previously trapped by the trees now falling freely.

Vesper blinked for a moment as the effects of the bright flash subsided, giving her the gift of sight once more. She had released the Absorb attack when the Ralts had teleported from the grasp of the tendrils, each one retreating back to Vesper with the small amounts of energy they had sapped from Akuroma when they had been attached to his arm.
"Interesting," replied Vesper with a smile. She was indeed intrigued by this natural curiosity.

Akuroma shrugged, "Not really," he said before his arm began to spark again, focusing on the electricity. He decided to keep using his right arm for the time being. He hoped the Roselia would make the assumption that he could only use Thunder Punch on his right arm, allowing for her to be more open if he fed that assumption.

"Well I think so. It's not every day you see green electricity produced specifically by fairy type abilities," replied Vesper, rolling her eyes for a short moment as she watched the Ralts charge the Thunder Punch for the second time. This guy was a bit of a downer. In life you should appreciate everything you can, even if it's just a natural oddity, not dump on someone's thoughts. Either way she shook her flower tipped arms, trying to find something to occupy her time whilst Akuroma charged his Thunder Punch. Come to think of it, why had she tried to help him in the first place? She could just walk away now and he probably wouldn't care anyway.

Akuroma blinked as he charged the Thunder Punch, a purple creature coming up from behind Vesper. At first he couldn't tell what it was, but after a moment he saw it as a charging Nidorino. Letting the Thunder Punch go, Akuroma used teleport and appeared right in front of Vesper. Grabbing onto her arm, he used teleport again, the two Pokemon being enveloped by the light before reappearing on top of a tree branch.

The Nidorino came to a skidding stop when the Roselia he was going to ram his horn into disappeared in a flash of light.

Vesper blinked as the building electricity in the Ralts's arm suddenly disappeared and was about to call out a protest when she heard the thudding footsteps of the Nidorino behind her. Turning to see what it was, she didn't have time to react before Akuroma had used Teleport, bringing both her and himself out of the way of the Nidorino's charge. The Roselia sat down on the tree branch that she reappeared on, appearing a little dazed due to having never been teleported anywhere before.
"Uhm... Thanks," she blinked, her gratitude genuine though her gaze remained on the Nidorino on the ground below as the dazed effect began to wear off.

Akuroma nodded, "No problem," he said his arm began to glow in mint green energy. He then jumped off the tree branch and swung his arm down, firing a Psyshock at the Nidorino before teleporting in midair and reappearing on a different branch.

The Nidorino looked up when the flash of light of a teleport appeared, causing him to temporarily go blind before he suddenly felt something slam into his side. Being a Poison type, the Psyshock dealt a fair amount of damage, and threw the Nidorino across the forest floor a bit.

Blinking, Vesper didn't bother to leave the comfort and safety of the branch up in the tree. Instead, after the sensation of being teleported for the first time wore off, she concentrated her efforts on striking from inside the tree. A golden sphere formed in front of the blue rose at the tip of her left arm. As the Nidorino was flung across the forest floor, skidding to a halt, Vesper pushed a branch out of the way with her other arm, before aiming and firing the psychic beam of energy towards the Nidorino.

The poor Nidorino was unable to recover from the Psyshock before he was hit by yet another Psychic type attack slammed into it. He staggered a bit, as if he were trying to walk away when he collapsed onto the ground.

Almost immediately after the Nidorino fell, Akuroma teleported beside it and began searching it's body for any items. He didn't bother getting Vesper down, seeing as she was in a tree when they first met.

"You weren't as strong as I thought you'd be," he said to the unconscious Nidorino, "I was sure you could handle more than that. Oh well."

"That's not very sporting of you," Vesper commented with an amused smile and a wave of one of her roses. She was still sat cross legged on the tree branch and currently refused to come down. Instead she ironically commented on the fact that Akuroma was searching the Nidorino's unconscious form for it's belongings, and thus technically stealing from it.
"And you said you weren't an outlaw," she said in mock disapproval, accompanying said words with a small shake of her head and a frown.

Akuroma shrugged, placing the two sticks and the blast seed he found in his bag, "I have no qualms against taking from those who I have defeated. Besides, he lives here, he'll probably find more later," he said as he stepped away from the Nidorino's unconscious body.

"Either way, we should probably go, I can already sense a good few Pokemon appr-gah!" he yelled out, cut off mid sentence as the ground below him collapsed. Almost as soon as he had fell had the sounds of two pairs of wings and the buzzing of a Bug type made it's way from behind Vesper. While a giggling monkey Pokemon began climbing the tree below her, covered in dirt and no doubt the maker of the pitfall trap Akuroma fell in.

"We're just not getting a break today are we?" sighed Vesper with a subtle roll of her eyes. She was aware of the buzzing sounds coming from behind her, but her gaze focused on the Aipom currently climbing the tree she was perched in. Still not moving from the spot she was in, Vesper pointed one rose tipped arm downwards, the golden sphere once again forming in front of it before the Roselia attempted to attack it with Extrasensory. With a quick glance to check whether the Ralts was okay after falling into the pitfall trap, she then got to her feet, balancing on the branch and watching to see how close the bug Pokemon was, another sphere of psychic energy forming near her other rose as she prepared for an attack.

Akuroma groaned as he lay at the bottom of the pit. He sighed, sitting up and shaking his head to clear off some dirt that fell on it. Standing up and looking at the top of the hole, he sighed. The hole was deep, but thankfully whoever had dug it left him rugged walls to climb up. Grabbing a hold of one of the rocks, Akuroma began to push himself upwards.

While the Ralts began to climb, the Aipom dodged the Extrasensory, dancing around on the tree as if this were a game or show. As Vesper attacked the Aipom, two Murkrow circled overhead for a moment, debating on if they should attack the Roselia now or let the Aipom do their job for them. However, the Ledyba had no concerns, and sped towards Vesper with a Comet Punch flurry.

(Aipom: Ability- Skill Link. Moves- Scratch, Astonish, Dig, Agility)
(Ledyba: Ability - Swarm. Moves- Supersonic, Comet Punch, Dizzy Punch, Thunder Punch)
(Murkrow (Shiny): Ability- Super Luck. Moves- Peck, Pursuit, Brave Bird, Heat Wave)
(Murkow: Ability- Prankster. Moves- Peck, Astonish, Pursuit, Haze)

Keeping the prepared Extrasensory attack ready to launch when needed, Vesper decided now would be an opportune time to exit the tree she was in, promptly hopping off the branch and away from the tree, dodging the Ledyba's Comet Punch and landing a short distance away from the tree's trunk. Stepping backwards so that she was clear of the tree, she used Extrasensory again, aiming for the Ledyba.
She sighed slightly at the attack of these other Pokemon. If she hadn't been with Akuroma and recognised as an outsider in the forest she probably could have reasoned with them. After all, she lived here now and was beginning to pick up on the habits of the natives. Nevertheless she opted to try anyhow.
"I do wish you would stop attacking me. I live here just the same as you," Vesper began with a frown, keeping light on her feet in case they just continued to attack her.

The two attacking Pokemon stopped, the two Murkrow still circling above. They seemed to consider Vesper for a moment before the Ledyba nodded. As it did so, Akuroma had reached the top of the hole and pulled himself out. Since the Ledyba knew the Ralts did not live here, and having seen him take items off of the Nidorino, the Ledyba decided to focus it's attacks on the Ralts.

Akuroma shook his head as he sat at the edge of the hole. When he looked up he saw a white fist suddenly punch him right back into the pit.

Oh hey. I didn't actually expect that to work, chuckled Vesper with a small smile to herself as the group of Pokemon flew and moves away from her. However they all ended up turning their attention to the Ralts as he finally pulled himself out of the pitfall trap. Before she could do anything, the Ledyba knocked him straight back into the hole, promoting another small sigh from the Roselia.
Whilst the Ledyba's back was turned, Vesper used her Extrasensory move, firing a beam of psychic energy from both roses towards the ladybug-esque creature.
"Nothing personal, I assure you," she commented with a mischievous smile.
