EVENT POST

[united_mods]

[It's a rather calm day, for anybody involved in the Badge or Ribbon Quest. At least, it seems that way for those not in Pinwheel Forest, where the gym leaders are deep in the forest. The forest is deep and dangerous, and they've been battling though it for this time. One of them looking for the missing skull, the other looking for the cause, for the terrified but evolved bugs and others.

But, of course, this is meant to be a secret.
However... one of their Xtransievers activated, as the battle continued - on all networks.

So! The audio message!]

L-Lenora! If I do not make our way out of this... please, promise me...

Quiet, Burgh! Of course we'll calm this... wait. I think that's the one.

It appears so... I think this is the scared creature of the forest. If we calm this one, the others - it's standing, Lenora! Get back - I know this forest much better. It shall not attack me.

And you were just sobbing. Leave it to me.

[And then, an inhuman roar, before the beast seemingly tackles the one who has the Xtransiever, as they let out a scream. The audio cuts out, replaced by a strange tone, and a message.]

WARNING. XTRANSIEVER NUMBER 08107 IS OUT OF ORDER. LAST KNOWN LOCATION: PINWHEEL INTERIOR.

[Oh... oh dear.

OOC: Okay! So this is the start of the event! I'll set up two threads now, one for transport and one for entering the forest. Soon, I'll set up a thread for actually going though the forest - but not straight away.]

Comments

TRANSPORT - VIDEO

[withmyfluffbat]

[Iris is the first to reply, of course. She was listening, and let out a gasp - before starting her own video!]
They're in trouble - that sounded like Higgins! [Yeeeah... legendaries have goofy names in her universe.] And as a fellow Gym Leader, I can't let that happen!
Listen, if anybody's with me, I'll fly you to Nacrene! Don't worry, my Swanna and Swoobat are great fliers!
[Yes, this is part of the event. Iris will transport anybody, if you can't teleport to the city yet, or if you just wanna fly.]

Video - and loki is flying off somewhere too

[used_frustration]

[[But I'll put his tag in the Forest Entrance. :U]]

A flight to Nacrene? [Hnnnn... That last feed did sound like they were in a pretty heavy amount of trouble...]

Keh. [He grabs the pole he found in the dreamyard for kendo training.] I'll take that offer!

Video

[withmyfluffbat]

Okay, sure!
[Aw, look at Iris. She's seeing if she can see your Axew anywhere!]
Swoobat'll come your way, straight away!

Video

[used_frustration]

Great! [He'll just hang tight then; his pokemon are in their balls for a reason, and the pole is nicely held onto his person via a string.]

Re: TRANSPORT - VIDEO

[mediocrespells]

...I'll go. [ She doesn't know if she can really be any help but, she wants to try. ]

Re: TRANSPORT - VIDEO

[withmyfluffbat]

Alright! Swanna's coming your way~!
[Man, Iris hopes Jade is okay with all this flight stuff and RESCUING THE LEGENDARY AND ALSO BURGH I GUESS.]

Re: TRANSPORT - VIDEO

[mediocrespells]

Thanks.

FOREST ENTRANCE - ACTION

[united_mods]

[So, you're the group? Well, chat among yourself, meet up, just have some fun before heading in!]

Re: FOREST ENTRANCE - ACTION

[tm_83]

[Well. Iris is here, too, after helping people.

But, no, Cilan has decided to show up, as one of the Triad. He wishes to see the reaction... of the people of this world. With him, he's got only two Pokemon - a Houndour he captured during the swarms, and... a shiny Darumaka who's refusing to let him out of his sight. He looks rather serious - his conflict barely showing.]
Who else is here.

Re: FOREST ENTRANCE - ACTION

[creepy_son_of_a]

[ Guess who happened to be there before the distress call was even sent. He was there anyway because the gym leader wasn't in the gym so he thought to see where she'd gone. He's got his Emolga on his shoulder and he seems rather relaxed for someone getting ready to go into a forest full of angry creatures.]
I've been here a while.
[He'd have gone in already but, figured more people means less chance he'd have to actually kill things to get through. ]

Re: FOREST ENTRANCE - ACTION

[silentlyknight]

[Without a sound, Batgirl emerges from behind a nearby tree. Her costume masking any real features aside from she shape of her body and the vaguest impressions of her eyes and other facial features. Her body language is relaxed for the time being, as she approaches the others.]

I am here.

[her head turns toward Triad Cilan. She thinks about speaking for a few moments, but instead just nods slowly to greet him. She is happy he made the decision to help; but is also cautious due to her conversations with the mysterious man.]

Re: FOREST ENTRANCE - ACTION

[used_ice_burn]

One of these things is not like the others???

Well, he's in full costume at least. "As am I? Funny, I think I saw your video feed a while ago..." Ah well. "I've met you too!" Hi Sephhiroth!

"...But not you." Loki, technically- Oh nevermind. Ikol's certainly rolling his eyes at any rate.

Re: FOREST ENTRANCE - ACTION

[mediocrespells]

[ She's kind of hanging back away from everyone else since being brought by Iris... Mostly staying as far from Sephiroth as possible while still staying by the forest entrance. ]

...I'm here too.

[ Well, that was kind of quiet. Did anyone actually hear her? ]

[tm_83]

[Cilan looked over the group - giving a nod back to Batgirl, before looking straight at Loki! The man with the dangerous Houndour.]
Your dog may be a hindrance.
[HOW DOES HE KNOW OF THAT? idek, man. But he then looks around - anybody else? He notices Hazel, and gives her a bit of a calm look. Hm. Is there something about one of them? He also finally rests his eyes on Sephiroth.]
Yes. I've noticed you around.

[withmyfluffbat]

[And watch out Hazel, it's every girl's best friend!]
Hey! Did Swanna treat you okay?

[creepy_son_of_a]

[ Sephiroth is giving Loki a thoughtful look... His Emolga on the other hand is eying Cilan. ]
Are you ready for this?
[ Because he knows Loki hasn't really been here long. ]

[trainerhomu]

Homura was waiting in the forest entrance like she had been there all along. Though if that was really the case, no one would know.

"So, what's the situation?"

IN DA FOREST

[united_mods]

[Sorry for the delay! Anyhow, you've probably been in the forest for a few days! Woo~!
Anyway, because I am lazy mod, Iris is da leader now.]
Come on, guys! I'm sure we're nearly there!!

AWWW YISS

[used_ice_burn]

"Right~" Well someone's pumped.

Catching a pokemon en-route probably helped though.

"HOUNNNNNNNNNN!"

Having a PYROMANIC HOUNDOUR PROBABLY ISN'T-

Though at least that chain Loki's got is still attached. "Thori, no." There will be no forest fires today, nope.

Re: AWWW YISS

[tm_83]

[Meanwhile, a certain Triad member is following in the shadows, a Shiny Darumaka on his shoulder, and a Houndour on the ground.

He's jumping though the trees, silent.]

Re: AWWW YISS

[mediocrespells]

[ Hazel was trailing a bit farther behind than was probably wise. She was just a bit tired from the pace they'd set and yet wasn't asking anyone to slow down. It seemed rather selfish to do so considering what they were trying to do.

Cloud walked close by, alert to anything that may jump out at the girl. There wasn't anything targeting her at the moment but, the Espeon was still quite tense. ]

[creepy_son_of_a]

[ Sephiroth walked near the head of the group, toying with a Restore Materia. He'd had to use it a lot more than he would have liked.

He didn't particularly care if anyone noticed that he'd been using something other than potions to heal his Pokémon. ]

Don't take this so lightly.

[ That was directed at Loki and anyone else that seemed to be treating this like a field trip. Sephiroth was not in a good mood. ]

[used_frustration]

Not too far from Sephiroth is Ryuzaki and his pole; his Axew is out as well, waddling beside him.

"...I don't think he is," is what's whispered somewhat hesitantly to him. Call it a hunch, but it felt more like it was a ruse actually...

[silentlyknight]

[Batgirl observed the Triad member take to the shadows and tress, and contemplated following him; but decided it would be best to follow on the ground. Although she was suspicious of him, she figured he would stay nearby at the very least. No need to try and track him. Instead, she keeps to the shadows on the ground and stays out sight while observing and listening to the others' conversations and looking out for any signs of the dangerous Pokemon they were seeking.

Besides, she was more interested in keeping an eye on Sephiroth and Loki. Intense order for the tall one, and intense chaos in the child... this could be problematic...]

Look I'll just throw three posts into 1 because I'm such a weirdo.

[trainerhomu]

Homura simply followed the group along, walking somewhere in the middle while Kyubey slumped on her shoulders in his Espeon form.

Wow, I wonder what sort of creature we'll all be facing. I'm very curious as to how powerful this rumored Pokemon is, Kyubey remarked, but only to Homura. But his trainer made no real reaction.



Estelle, in the meanwhile, was very distraught that her earlier question wasn't answered, so she had tried catching up to Iris to ask directly.

"Ummm... So, what kind of Pokemon is Higgins, Iris?"



Yu, somewhat in the back, reminisced about the last time he came through this forest, and noticed Hazel somewhat tired. Or so he thought.

"You okay?"
