Another time, another place...

As you descend into the newly formed tunnels, a strange feeling surrounds you. Driving deeper, a strange green light encircles you, pushing you unconsciously deeper and deeper into the swirling mists. There’s a power here, ancient and unfathomable. And then, light. But when you emerge, things have suddenly changed.

Any vestige of your Enlightened powers are gone. Your clothes are different, your equipment is different, even your Warp Band is gone! Any changes the process may have brought upon your body is also gone, you are now, fully and truly human. In its place, strapped securely to your belt, are a collection of red-and-white balls. You know instinctively what these are. The heretical tools of the lost age. Pokeballs…

[OOC Notes: ALL Enlightened powers, form changes, and other associated abilities will be gone for the duration of this log. Shifters may choose either to enter as a human, retaining their Pokemon team, or as a speech-capable Pokemon, although speaking in front of other humans may cause alarm and suspicion. Any Enhanced equipment is also altered, it is now entirely technological and may appear quite advanced. Unless specified in the intro log, your clothes will likely be reflective of more modern US attire or army combat gear, depending on the situation.

As always, we will be progressing the log at least once every 24 hours to keep things moving. If you have any further questions, please ask here.

When making your first comment in a thread, please list your character's Pokémon team.]

Makoto only stands, staring at the strange woman she's only talked to once. "Melaka, no! Don't fight it!" She knows that this is a horrible idea, but trying to fight a god was stupider than submitting.

Cotton, Usato, Hime, and Menma all continue to stare at their Trainer, calling out to her in words she can't understand, but she knows they want her to run. She wants to run, but she has to do this. Only Ganymede seems to understand and stays on his perch of her shoulder, claws digging into her skin through the strange clothing.

Maka starts to feel her Pokemon companions pulling at her, trying to get her away from the range of attack, but Maka herself is only staring right ahead at Entei--simultaneously paralyzed with fear and stunned with reverence.

Her own tongue feels heavy in her mouth, the girl reaches down and gently nudges the Pokemon aside, sets down Stella and Sally so they can be moved behind her. "Baldwin," she addresses the Golett. "Please look after Sally and Stella. Hades, Ariel--" she addresses the Houndour and Luxio, whining and yowling in distress. "Get everyone behind me."

At this point in time, the gods couldn't care less about the safety of other Pokemon. Several Pokemon died in the war as well, she doesn't intend for hers to be among those statistics. "We are not going to fight you! This isn't our battle and we want no part of it!"

This is foolish. She'll be among those that disappeared into the wilderness at any second.

Rei's answer is immediate, her voice filled with conviction as she slowly raises her head, hand coming to rest on Casius' broad flank.

"Nothing, great one, save give them the respect they deserve. They are my friends. They are my partners, and without their guidance and protection I am little more than a child. I know this. And so do they. I love them, as they love me."

The Arcanine steps forward, holding his head up proudly while the Charizard curls his tail around Rei protectively, long neck craning over her shoulder to stare defiantly at the massive hound. Try and hurt his human, and he will make you regret it, god or no.

"Please, do not think we're here to fight you, none of us wish that."

The Dragonair had reared up, letting out a long cry to try and do what he could to protect the pokemon and humans alike. His tail was curled around Ami to protect her while Aurora was snarling, electricity surrounding her and crackling in the air, ready to fight against Entei for the sake of Ami.

Ami had to wiggle out of Socrates tail while her Noctowl, Minerva flew above, letting out a long cry and ready to swoop down and get them out of there if need be.

"Please, we speak the truth! We don't wish to hurt you or any pokemon. We love them, each of them, and I speak wholeheartedly when I say I would lay down my life to keep them safe as they are willing to do now. Please, great one, see reason, see through your anger. There is a war here, but we've no desire to be on the side willing to harm you or the pokemon!" She tried to express her earnestness though she wished for Usagi at that moment, knowing that the younger girl had a way of convincing people in a way that logic just couldn't.

"That's right...our Pokemon have been with us for a long time, they're our friends and family. Stella's been with me even when I had nobody else, and I bet all of us that you see here can say the same. I'd be nothing without my friends, and any person that seeks to harm a Pokemon is my enemy."

She's so small compared to everyone else around her, small and weak, her Pokemon don't exactly cut an imposing picture either. But still they stand upright against the god, still they--one by one--lean or grasp onto their trainer's legs and glare. The message is clear, no human or Pokemon among intends to abandon one another to a grisly fate.

"You're hurt, right? Betrayed and angry...I know how you feel, it's horrible to have someone you trusted betray you. It's one of the worst things that can happen to you and repairing that trust is hard. Despite that...it doesn't have to be that way, when you really reach out you'll find loads of people that you can trust! I would know...I think lots of people and Pokemon would know."

It's these impassioned sort of speeches that her mother would always give to her in her lessons, before she left. Maka's hoping she did them justice.

Makoto looks at her friends, human and Pokémon, and turns her attention back on the imposing god. Cotton, her Flaaffy, clings to her leg while Usato struggles past Hime and Menma to step in front of her and almost glare at the Entei.

The Bayleef, usually so sweet and kind, looks angry and fierce. He looks ready to yell, until the Leafeon bites him.

"Cotton was my only friend when my parents died. I would never subject her to horrible things like those Pokéballs or fighting against her will. She and the rest of them are my family. I...I could never hurt them." She swallows down the sudden lump in her throat before continuing on, grabbing both Ami and Rei's hands without thinking. "We don't want to fight anyone. That's not why we're here."

As Rei finds herself suddenly flooded with fire, it's hard for her not to feel somewhat overwhelmed. She drops to her knees, arms barely supporting her as she does so. The five Pokemon she'd brought with her press in close as she begins to sob with relief. That was, without a doubt, the most horrific experience she could imagine. Confronted with a god, two of them.

Olympus' arms casually reach and pick her up, setting her onto Casius back, and she droops bonelessly onto the Arcanine's back. Phobos alights next to her, and Deimos hugs tightly to her trainer's hand. But it's Sabaeus that surprises her, casually sliding up into her shadow as always, his eyes looking down with obvious concern.

"I'm sorry, everyone. For...those Pokeballs. You shouldn't have had to deal with that. And you never, ever will again. I don't care who tries to put you in one..."

Being stripped of analyst abilities was a bit numbing, even if her brain remained at full ability. So suddenly getting it all back? The ability to notice every minute detail and then assimilate that information in seconds? Ami actually collapsed, or would have, as she put a hand to her eyes to get her bearings. However, Madame Curie was right behind her, letting out a gentle song to calm own Ami's mind. Her skin had a noticeable blue tinge again, her whole body was starting to cool down.

Aurora discharged her electricity into the ground so as not to hurt anyone while she putted her head up against Ami's shoulder. All her pokemon gathered around Ami and she made an ice visor over her eyes to buffer everything.

"I'm alright, I'm alright," she assured. "How about all of you?" she asked gently stroking all their sides. She took a deep breath. "Rei, Makoto-chan, Maka-chan, Meleka-san, are you all alright? Is anyone in need of attention?"

The sudden drop back into their cave and the flood of electricity into Makoto's body makes her fall, sparks literally coming from from her fingertips, her toes, her hair. It's one of the most intensely painful sensations she's ever felt in her short life and she screams.

All of her Pokémon watch in fear, except Cotton, who moves closer to try and dissipate some of the stray lightning in the enclosed space.

"NO! STAY BACK!"

Ah, there it is, the empathy is back. Maka always thought it'd be a relief to lose it, but in that case...

No, never mind, she shakes herself out of her thoughts, pulls all of her Pokemon into a hug--checking them over to be sure no one got hurt, relieved that she's able to hear their voices again. Thank goodness.

I will remember this. We will meet again.

Who's the Wayfarer? What was the objective of sending them all there? When will they next make contact with the gods?

Well. Maka could obsess on this for a long time, but there's no time for that at the moment, it's time to live in the present. Namely, the others around her--she opens her mouth to answer Ami that, yes, everyone's fine, but the burst of electricity instead causes her jaw to go slack.

"Wh-what's happening, is she okay?!" Ask a stupid question, Maka, of course Makoto isn't okay.

At the end of that encounter, Melaka hadn't spoken, just stayed between everyone and that pokémon. Or at least attempts to do that, her pokémon (including an awkwardly giggling frog) had tried to just remain steady there. The other women could talk, she could guard if it came to that. And then...

They were back. Who is a Wayfarer. She either way turned to her pokémon, and hugged Sneak first. Lurks was next, putting his frog arms around them both. The others came up closest, Dokudoku cape fluttering too. But--

Then there were sparks.

"Yeah, what's that?"

Rei blinked in surprise as she stretched out her psychic senses. There was a lot of energy there. A lot of it. It was...impressive, and that was really all she needed to know to work out what was going on. Her eyes widened and she stepped forward with Deimos, the Gardevoir projecting a shield so Rei could stand on the edge of the lightning field.

"She's evolving," was her breathless reply. "Give her some space, until the storm quiets."

Then, to Makoto. "Don't worry, Mako-chan. We're here for you."

Ami made the ice visor over her eyes almost instantly. The information from her mind appearing there in wider detail as she observed her dear friend Makoto. She suddenly put up a barrier of ice between her and Cotton as the bolt strikes out towards the pokemon. Even Cotton would be subjected to the raw force of an evolution. She took deep breaths and took a few steps closer. At any minute, a bolt of lightning could strike out at her.

"Makoto-chan, Makoto-chan it's alright. We're here. We're going to stay by your side this whole time."

[personal profile] thunderboltprincess 2015-04-23 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Makoto tries to struggle to her feet so she can get further away from the rest of the group. Just because she has to be in pain doesn't mean she wants to share it with her friends.

"N-no. I can't control it. Stay back."

She knows it's dumb to push Ami and Rei away, but she really doesn't want to hurt either of them. It feels like every nerve in her body is on fire and she can't imagine how much worse it would feel if they got caught up in it too.
