Another time, another place...

[bravenewmods]

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.]

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."

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.
