► ninth sketch [Video]

[The feed comes on from strange angle. It seems to be coming from a good height from the ground, and is focused on Naminé poring over putting finishing touches to the food she's working on. She's got ingredients all over the counter of the inn kitchen, with a giant cookbook in the middle of it all.

After making chocolate for Valentine's day, she's gotten an interest in cooking, because there is an art to it. After several failed attempts, she's finishing up a bento she made herself. There are two other containers next to it, all finished. Probably for her traveling party. And three of these are already set to the side. She looks pretty pleased with herself as she finishes the last one, and turns away to clean up.

Cue this feed zooming in and... stealing one of those sandwiches.

And then a Vaporeon comes up and grabs like several of those fish shaped cookies.

And then a Pidgeot lumbers over quietly and takes half of those cut berries.

When Naminé turns back, she looks at where her finished creation was. Then looks up at the feed, spotting one of the perpetrators with a pout.]


Salty!

Togetiiiic!

Is it allowed to have more than one Pokemon battle together?

You mean like a double battle?

[Action]

Mm.

[A pause.]

Want to try going against me?

[ Blinks. ] I don't know... [ Looking between Axel and Bell now. ]

It's like any battle, except you have to coordinate with two pokemon, I think?

Either way, it might help them work with each other?

[ Pauses... then nods. ] Okay.

Axel, Bell. [ Bell quickly comes back to Xion upon being called, but Axel takes his time wandering back. At least he listened. Maybe the berry did help. ]

I'm not really good at fighting too, so... but I'll try.

[Since there's already a Togetic in Xion's party, Namine looks thoughtful before petting Salty on the head with an unspoken smile. The Togetic hovers away from the battlefield, and Sea immediately clambers next to his trainer, prepared.

She then pulls her own pokeball out, and Sunset comes out, the Vulpix standing next to Sea in attention. She knows Axel will probably do most of the fighting, and even if Sea gets hit by flames, it won't hurt that much.]

[ Xion stares at Namine's pokemon for a moment... then she blinks, remembering something. Meanwhile, sensing opponents, Axel soon goes on all fours and Bell twirls in the air. ]

Wait, Namine, what about your cooking?

[Action]

[identity profile] cagedstar.livejournal.com 2011-03-11 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh right.]

I can finish them later. I finished the food we'll be eating on the travel, and the rest of my pokemon won't eat those. I might as well give up on the other tray of pokemon food I had. It's probably gone as well.

[Indeed. With her Murkrow probably bursting out of its pokeball, Salty and Sky in there, it's probably licked clean.]

If you say so...

[ Axel growls, probably a signal for them to start the fight already. ]

Ready.

[Action]

[She figures she might as well play it on the safe side. She's got Sunset at most, 28, while Sea lags a little at 23. Sh, she's a breeder, not a trainer. She nods at that and Sunset jumps in front of the Vaporeon protectively almost immediately. ]

Sea, use Helping Hand. Sunset, Safeguard!

[Defense is a go!]

[Action]

[ Xion doesn't know what either of those two moves really do, but can take a guess from their titles alone. Still, this is a first for her, so she's going on the safe side, too. ]

Axel, use Smoke Screen! [ And looking back on Bell's various moves... ] Bell, use Follow Me!

[Action]

[Xion, are you trying to get Bell killed.]

Okay, Sunset, Quick Attack on--

[-- Bell? Wait, she hasn't ordered -- oh geez, that move Bell did probably did it.

... she's praying Axel will get the idea that this is a cooperation battle. At this rate, all attacks are getting trained at Bell. Either way, the Vulpix rams as fast as it can at the bird.]

[Action]

[identity profile] ordalias.livejournal.com 2011-03-11 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Honestly? She doesn't know. ]

Watch out, Bell!

[ Annnnnd...! There's a plume of black smoke coming right at your face, Sunset. Axel is getting the idea that he and Bell should work together, and while he wouldn't care less about the other Pokemon, he likes to win. Although, with Bell getting all the attacks, maybe it's his chance to shine and show how strong he is... ]

[LOOK AT YOUR OPPONENT NEARLY SAG IN RELIEF OVER HERE. She relaxes visibly. And figures it's okay to attack. ]

Sea, go!

[Sunset reels back and away from the line of fire as Sea spews out the strongest Water Gun he's got in her place.]

[Action]

[identity profile] ordalias.livejournal.com 2011-03-11 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Axel!

[ Axel turns to face the oncoming Water Gun. O-Oh crap. He knows he wouldn't survive something like that head on-- ]

Togeeee!

[ Suddenly, Bell dives and takes the hit for Axel. It's a strong hit, but nothing Bell can't recover from; besides, the attack was only neutral damage. Worried, Xion tries to think fast about her next move. ]

Bell, use Extrasensory Sea! Axel, use Quick Attack on Sunset!

[Action]

[identity profile] cagedstar.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Both get hit, but it's nothing they can't recover from. Sunset reels back again, hissing. And Naminé orders out another safe move.]

Sunset, Imprison!

[The barrier comes up. She's confident this should at least lock away most attacks like Quick Attack and Ember, given Sunset is another fire type and her pokemon knows those.]

Sea, Water Gun again!

[HERE COMES THE WATER]

[Action]

[identity profile] ordalias.livejournal.com 2011-03-14 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ah-!

[ But lo! Axel is quick to avoid the water by a mere inch. On her side, Xion scrambles what to do now that Quick Attack is gone from her use for now. ]

Axel, use Ember on Sunset! [ Yes, same typing, she knows, but at least it'd be neutral damage? And then Xion makes another risky move: ]

Bell, use Metronome!

[ Bell chirps in excitement at that, happy to finally use the move she likes the most. Her hands go to-and-fro for a moment before glowing and...

... Hey, Sea, I hope you notice the random Draco Meteor heading towards you. Even Xion's shocked to see it. ]
Whoa...

[Action] several failnotifs and an app later

[identity profile] cagedstar.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Sunset takes the hit for both, hissing. Naminé decides to throw in the towel; she can't stand her pokemon hurt any more than necessary.]

Alright, I think that's enough.

[She's also curious if Axel will let up on attacks this time.]

[Action] late to everything

[identity profile] ordalias.livejournal.com 2011-03-20 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ Xion nods, but then she notices... ] Axel, stop!

[ Axel's moving to attack his opponents some more, but Bell gets in front of him with her arms out. There's a very visible shake of her head, and it seems like Axel's hesitating... maybe because Bell saved his ass a few more times in this battle? TCH. Xion relaxes when he backs off. ]

... Sorry.
