Event - The White Dragon

[bnw_void_npcs]

[The Warp Band feed opens with the Matriarch’s impassive face looking slightly haggard]

Union, I have a problem and am in need of assistance. About two hours ago refugees just started streaming into the Citadel territory. They say they’re from a city called “Glacier” that is being ripped apart by a giant white Dragon god. Sounds like it’s something up your alley. I’m sending them your way, we should probably go take care of that before it makes it over here. If you guys want to help out, I’ll lend you some of our birds. My Valkyries are already heading over, I’m sending a few flights out to the other cities as well to see if they want to join the party. Let me know what you decide.

Oh, the refugee leader is a fellow named Birgir. I gave him a Warp Band so he can probably tell you more about the situation.

(OOC: Questions to the Matriarch and Birgir can be asked here, and general reactions can also be posted here.)

I hate to say it, but I'd rather deal with the latter. At least that would make more sense. For him to be controlling it against its will...

[There's an unusual look on Right's face: dead seriousness.] It would take a Pokeball for that to happen.

[punchesyu]

You don't think those creeps are from Team Evolution or something do you?

[He's pretty sure the lady that made the pokéballs was from Team Evolution. But wasn't she also from Caldera? It's making him confused and it's hurting his head.]

[lunchleader]

[Right shakes his head after a moment's thought.]

No...not unless it's that woman scientist behind it. I'm more worried that it might be Gigas.

[punchesyu]

I wouldn't put it past 'em...

[Gigas. They were such a pain in the ass.]

In fact, that's probably who it is. Coming in and destroying people's homes are totally their M.O. [He grows angry at that thought.] Just who the hell do they think they are?! We're gunna kick them straight out of Glacier and send them right back where they came from!

[lunchleader]

Definitely! And even if it's not Gigas, we'll kick their asses anyway! No one should have their homes burned for no good reason!

[punchesyu]

Yeah!

[That's an attitude he can get behind. He nods to Right, with confidence.]

Now...all we have to do is figure out how to beat a dragon. [This is said a with a little less confidence.]

[lunchleader]

Well, if it's just a really strong Dragon-type Pokemon, then we Fairy-types can help take it down.

[Big confident grin here, followed up by a little fluttering of his small wings.]

[punchesyu]

[He is slightly glad he's not actually talking in person to Right at the moment.]

Dude, you seriously have to admit that there's something really wrong with a Fairy-type being able to stomp a Dragon-type. I mean, come on! Dragons?????

[celebrity_commentator]

[From across the city, or perhaps down the hall from Right if he's at the Theater, a Gardevoir's headfins perk up and, as usual, she quietly steals her partner's Warp Band.]

[This time just to stare into it.]

[punchesyu]

[He gets the transmission, and is taken aback for a second.]

Hey! What's with the freaky silent treatment here?

[celebrity_commentator]

Devoir!

[The usual translation of that from the Pokémon is too impolite to reproduce here, but an approximate meaning is that she's heard you saying demeaning things about Fairy-types.]

[punchesyu]

Huh? What, I was just saying that it's messed up that Dragons could possibly have a weakness to that...I mean, look at you guys!

[Way too cute to take on fearsome dragons...but he's not going to say that part. He'll sound like a girl.]

[celebrity_commentator]

[Himiko is not impressed with Yosuke's reasoning.]

Gar-devoir.

[Judging based on appearances is going to get him in a lot of trouble one day.]

[punchesyu]

Man, I even get crap for just pointing out the obvious.

[It's not fair.] Isn't your trainer gunna be pissed if they catch you using their Warp Band or something? [He says, trying to dismiss Himiko.]

[celebrity_commentator]

Gar devoirdevoir.

[She shrugs, something she picked up from living around humans for a year and three quarters. Toyo and she take this thing all the time, and Rise never cares.]

Gardevoir.

[Just don't underestimate the floof and sparkles.]

[punchesyu]

Sorry. But listen, I never said you couldn't do it. You guys just don't look like you'd survive something that can crush a whole town in twenty minutes flat! Even you gotta admit those teeth are pretty freaking scary!

[Even Charizard is kinda scary and that's not even a legendary dragon! He thinks this logic is very sound!]

Finally stepping back into this thread.

[lunchleader]

[Right's been listening in still, and grins at Yousuke's last comment.] I dunno 'bout Himeko, but she's got a point - we Fairy-types are a lot tougher than we look.

Besides, Fairy works against Dragons because Fairies do stuff that are borderline magical - and Dragon-types tend to be weak to magic in a lot of the older stories.

[...children's stories, technicaly, but Right's not gonna tell him.]

s'all good

[punchesyu]

I guess I didn't think about it like that. [It makes sense, he can't argue the details on that.]

I just always thought of really heavily armored pokémon with their trainers taking dragon breath like a boss. You guys need some shields or something. [That would look cool. They probably don't make shields like that though.]
