insane decisions.

First topic message reminder :

That mission spoiler tab required thingie...:

not ooc. It's just alot of first post stuff... It helps me think... If you have some similar tactic I wont mind it. It may even give me an idea.:

It's been awhile since Yooka, a perfectly 'normal' Kecleon, had been on a mission. She ends up just going for random explorations of her own, ending up not even earning GP to advance her guild rank. It wasn't such a big deal to her, not many of the quests that she can do were worth much and it's not like anyone could actually sign up for a higher difficultly mission than what their rank is, which she didn't quite like. It's because of this Yooka despises her Grey-Rank Guild Badge. She ended up not keeping its condition up-to-date, so it now has a couple chips on the left side and it lost its sheen. However, she still took pride in the experience the missions she did do. She even uses the badge to remember her old friend who is probably a part of the Aileron Guild by now and possibly far ahead of Yooka in some other ranking system.

A little 'F' rank mission wont be a problem compaired to what she had done before. She even thought, she should take it solo, which she did. Yooka didn't think about the mission details till her arrival at the copse. Wasn't this place known for it's peaceful nature? How could the target get lost in here? There must be something different within the forest than just peaceful critters. Yooka knew full well that literally anything could happen. Especially ever since the dark clouds appeared. She's gotten use to seeing it already now. Even though it was awhile ago when they first start forming... something about a Giant Ghost Dragon... She doesn't remember who rumored what now and frankly she doesn't care about it. What's in front of her is more important than a long-term effect. She'll deal with it if it starts to hinder her directly.

What's currently infront of her is a semi-permanent autumn Forest with a missing Pokemon somewhere inside. She needs to find that Pokemon and apparently bring it back. Simple, yes? Yooka already crossed the stepping stones and into the forest's entrance. Now, just to search around for a 'Herdier'.

ooc:

Fancy tattoos that showed up for a few seconds? Your no color changing pokemon and Charmeleon don't have unnatural patterns normally... is what she wanted to inject but the Queen has the Charmeleon's attention now and she herself was rather preoccupied. Although, there was one thing the Crimson reptile said that made her laugh, if for a few moments. Not letting the Queen have a few seconds was oddly satisfying. That was squelched as soon as she noticed something odd and the question of what to do now was given to her.

Where did that Herdier go? Did the fire-type actually scare it off? "uh-" She started to speak before really thinking. Disregarding the Queen's statement as she's been learning by watching others. Unreliable as that sounds she's capable of sustaining a fight if not with luck. The whole teamwork and being a leader was just something she needed help understanding/learn if she's to actually do stuff at the Guild or elsewhere. "-Well. I'd mention the Herdier's missing, or whatever you did... uhh... I don't see it or even hear it." and acting like the bush the Herdier was sent to was a defective bomb, she started to walk over to see.

Sure enough just before she saw it, the thing jumped out. Yooka half expected this and dodged pretty easily by practically lunging to the side or more of a backwards jump. She tripped/fell on her butt while throwing the primitive stick. It hit the shoulder of the herdier but it pretty much did nothing as it snapped and spun over the pokemon's back. However it did continue to keep the herdier's attention on Yooka if that'd be considered something. With the blast seed ready in the other hand she has to hope one of the others reacts before she is forced to use it while getting up. The other sticks were just a couple arms length away if she has to resort to them, and if the thing still proved quite capable after those and the company. she'll have to get in close for the fighting type punch.

The canine growled and snapped at what seemed to have either been invisible foes or an attempt at Intimidation. The tyrantrum gave a humph as she stepped forward to deal with the pokemon, though the other lizard seemed to not be in favor of that plan still as he got int the way.

"You fool!" The tyrantrum sneered as she did not want to risk harming the charmeleon as well.

The Charmeleon had moved in for the attack after the stick had been thrown. He barreled into the herdier before it could make a move to charge the chameleon once more. He could feel the fangs of the canine puncture his arm once more as a nasty bite sunk its teeth into him once more.

Victoria watched the two wrestle as her mind tried to work towards finding some sort of solution. However, the two were too intertwined for her to do something without harming the other.

"F**k it, if you're not going to move, then I'll just reduce both of you into unconsciousness!" she huffed, "Explorer, get to high ground...unless you WANT to get hurt!" The tyrantrum then prepared herself with a close eye on Yooka, prepared to perform a move that would make the Earth ah...

Quake.

Luck! The Charmeleon took the opportunity. Also, the Tyrantrum didn't seem to like it's decision. Yooka didn't quite care. The timing couldn't have been better, or maybe it could've... The Charmeleon almost got blasted as she was just about to use the seed but she noticed the Charmeleon before. He gave her plenty of time to back off and note the way the Herdier fights for later. She would have helped with her shadow but normal-types are weirdly immune.

She did hear the Tyrantrum's warning and knew what, or had a very good guess of what, the Queen had planned. High ground... hitting everyone... A ground based attack. Yooka knew a move named Earthquake which seemed to fit the description, but she didn't know the Queen's strength. Still, despite the warning, Yooka couldn't think entirely straight with immediate danger present. "Earthquake? Noted, just do it. I can literally recover if I can take it." She did prop and brace herself next to a tree, getting to a higher point like 'on' a tree wouldn't help anyway, It would minimize the shaking sensation, but the way her mind works completely disregarded that as not enough. She would need to either make distance or be on something not attached to the ground, like in water, just to be immune to earthquake's effects. Sadly that cant happen where she stands, which is in the middle of a Forest with a small window of time. Yooka again could just negate the effects to the Queen's Earthquake by literally clinging to her but Yooka completely spaced out on that aswell.

She paid attention more towards the environment due to this warning. If the Queen is terrifyingly strong, the ground may break way and shift while the trees fall and stuff. She would need to minimize the damage to herself, but even then the shaking itself would prove potentially harmful. This is going to suck... However, Yooka was smirking. but this simplifies things...

((ooc: Yooka is technically lvl 13 now but do I have to show her as lvl 10? I haven't run into this kind of situation till now.
Funny enough this thread gave her 2 levels due to being the last of 5 both times. heh...

Also, the move Thief has been replaced with move Trick room. If I can use Trick room she's going to use it directly when earthquake starts. As she noted that the both Garnet and the Herdier were much faster than herself.

Either way, She should be able to take the EQ if it isn't critical. Same with the Herdier but the Herdier has been taking constant damage from Garnet. I find using EQ a bit funny on this site. I'm just picturing all the pokemon on the island going into a frenzy and/or blind panic. xD
EQ, tag the Herdier, straight into a monster house. lol, rip.))

The stupid fool had insisted that he would be able to take it, but she supposed that she would allow the suicidal kecleon to be...well, suicidal. The tyrantrum wasted no time in making her move. Her muscles gathered together as she lowered her body.

In one big push, she had jumped off the ground momentarily before gravity pulled her right back to it. The earth around her shattered with her weight as the shockwave was sent across the clearing and all around them.

The charmeleon was still locked in combat with the herdier as the attack was performed. Both had been struck by the powerful attack as their bodies were forced to separate. Garnet cried out in both surprise and pain as the Earthquake knocked him into a tree. He had felt worse before, but that did not stop him from being unable to take the attack and fall to the ground below.

The herdier, meanwhile, had a much safer landing as it collapsed onto the ground after a few rolls. The pup gave a prolonged whine after a minor attempt to get up, but instead, he simply collapsed back onto the spot and slipped into unconsciousness.

When the attack was complete, the Tyrantrum eyed the pokemon around her to survey the aftermath of her powerful attack. It actually kind of thrilled her to see the damage that had been done, not able to help a cheeky grin at the power she had displayed.

Yooka's luck...:

Keeping the image of a disastrously powerful Earthquake in mind, Yooka started having second thoughts... but it was way too late to say anything. She didn't get scared however, she just jumped a little up the tree she was next to and wrapping her tail around it, while also giving it a tight embrace.

She watched in weird contentment as the Queen jumped. The expectations were making her nerves tingly as she expected the worse but this moment felt rather pleasant.

but it was smaller than she expected... or rather, she panicked. She lost her grip as the tree at first seemingly moved into her then away. The tree even uprooted. It didn't collapse entirely as it was stopped by another tree but it fell just enough to pin her tail to the ground. Yooka meeped rather loudly but quickly growled to herself, Ah..! Figures that would happen... Mmmrrrrr!

The Quake wasn't exactly over. Directly after realizing her pinned tail and regretting it, the ground decided to just move itself sideways causing her to come crashing sideways herself. Her head and shoulder hit the ground hard. Nothing serious except scrapes and maybe a dislocated shoulder... and a piercing headache.

The earthquake subsided rather quickly and Yooka attempted to calm down. It was enough to look around to see the others in a probable worse state except the obvious Queen. The only thing keeping Yooka's adrenaline going was the sharp pains from her pinned tail, shoulder, and head.Noticing the KOed Herdier was great. Seeing the Queen looking pleased was not. Seeing the Charmeleon in it's state was questionable. It was now Yooka realized something that she should've pointed out before the Queen did what she did.

Yooka was sitting down looking away from her tail and towards the Queen. "Geez... I know it was necessary and I literally asked for it, but dont be proud of this... not yet. Outside of showing absolute power, this place is an island surrounded by a rather 'small' lake, the entire place probably shook. Every pokemon living here most likely felt that and some of the bigger ones may of gotten ang--" She suddenly remembered the Queen's speech from earlier inside the headache and her tail's pain. Her voice became slightly stressed and rather pained. Especially after relocating her shoulder. "--gah... No, what am I saying, you have a better understanding, sorry... but, do you mind helping me get, uh... unstuck." Instead of focusing on her tail Yooka focused on the rest of her body. If it wasn't for the adrenaline, she'd probably be writhing in pain. She stared at the Herdier while her body repaired the scrapes and stuff that just formed. However, the pain from the tail and headache stayed and continued to annoy her.

The queen was proud of her power. Even if it had notified and even angered plenty of pokemon on the island, the moment of sheer strength had bloated her head with arrogance and pride. She could take them all on at once, she would even bet. The tyrantrum looked to the lizard that had become trapped underneath a tree. The tail of the creature was the only thing that pinned them down. Really? She gave a roll of her eyes as the chameleon retracted their statement almost immediately.

She stepped over to the tree and lowered her head. She only needed to give the tree a slight nudge to roll it off of the tail and free the normal type underneath. Despite that, she gave the tree a harsh shove that sent it off a few feet before it fell onto the forest floor with the soft noise of leaves and snapped branches emitting from it.

The tyrantrum turned and looked back to the bounty of her Earthquake, a knocked out Charmeleon and herdier. She resisted the urge to snicker childishly at the Charmeleon who was out cold. So much for being a tough guy. Instead, she huffed haughtily, "If any were bothered by that, they could just take it up with me themselves."

The instant Yooka was freed from the tree, she immediately held her tail infront of herself to see how bad it was and also immediately went to work. Directly afterword she bowed to the Queen, Thanks for that, but now for the hard part. Bringing the target back to Grassveil. I would have actually liked to help you on... er, I've forgotten what it was you were doing after all this, but I would have liked to help you out on whatever it was you were doing." While Yooka was speaking she went over to the Herdier, noting it's unkept fur and previous behavior suggests it has some form of condition. What that was is unknown to Yooka. She took her scarf and muzzled the dog and also tied it's legs together. Better to have it hindered before it could do harm when it wakes up.

She then looked over to the Charmeleon... Yooka let out a sigh. The herdier on it's own would have been somewhat fine but both would be difficult. Should she just leave the Charmeleon here, with the possibility of random pokemon showing up due to the Queen's Earthquake... or take him aswell but travel much slower. She didn't like leaving something to itself in any bad situation. She took the golden ribbon and a few branches from the broken tree. She needed to make something to keep the tail from touching something flammable on accedent and to prevent the Charmeleon from being dragged across the ground directly aswell as the Herdier.

She had the thought in her head but she didn't say anything till after she started making a makeshift sled. She relunctantly spoke out, "Uh, Victoria, I'd rather not leave him here and I find the idea of dragging both of them away from here a bit... much. If it's not a problem to your schedule could you help, just till after I get out of this place?" Yooka continued to work on her little project, even if the Queen denied her she'd still do it. All she really needed to do was get the Charmeleon away from their exact location, not necessarily out of the copse. Explaining everything to the Charmeleon when it woke, if it woke before then and if it was willing to listen, wouldn't be so hard. Getting just the Herdier back would be relatively easy, outside of the copse's surrounding water. Now that it's muzzled and tied, she'd get a warning before it got dangerous. Depending on how it is when it wakes will determine if she should knock it out again or release it.

((OOC: I could just end it here. unless there's something that needs to be done.))

((ooc: Best to just end it as soon as possible))

The queen glanced over to the kecleon that spoke to her. What she suggested was to help her. Victoria was mildly irritated by this, after all, she had a shrine to look for. Instead of rejecting the pokemon, she simply gave a roll of her eyes and huffed, "Very well," she spoke. The tyrantrum approached the two unconscious bodies, her jaws parted as she carefully picked up the Charmeleon's body. She tossed him into the air slightly and caught the smaller lizard on her snout before she rolled the charmeleon back with her head tilted upward. The charmeleon was caught in the ruff of her plumage.

She looked to the herdier with a bit of distaste, "I'm not touching that one though," she stated, "There is quite obviously something unwell with it and I'm not going to be the one to catch it if it's contagious."

Yooka stopped what she was doing and did a full on standing bow to the Queen when she heard a reply. "Thanks and I agree to it's condition. It does seem unnatural. I'll send you a gift considering the inconvenience this is causing you." as she put the sled in place next to the Herdier, the Queen picked up the Charmeleon. Yooka started studying the Herdier. Mostly noting anything that could spread a contagion. A precaution to the idea that it even has a disease. During this Yooka spoke up,

"Just put him somewhere less dangerous than here considering your Earthquake. Even though he was a bit... much... He distracted the target for well, you. I don't want to leave him exposed to a potential crowd, he doesn't deserve that. and again, I'm sorry I wasn't able to do anything for you in all this. I'll be needing to part ways immediately for, well..." Yooka rolled the unconscious, muzzled and bounded mutt onto the sled. "Oh and one thing before I go. I know you declined the training earlier. You don't need to say anything more. I now won't expect it from you as I understand your reasons but I am a bit crazy for some danger, this just happened to be a rather unexpected surprise. If you need me for some inconvenient thing I wont mind giving a hand. And no it's not because I'm a part of the Guild, it's because I don't want to be like my Father."

Yooka wasn't aware of the fact she mentioned her Father to the Queen who mostly likely doesn't know anything about him and/or doesn't even care for that kind of information despite it sounding pretty similar to the Queen's own story. Yooka headed off as soon as she finished talking.
