@ask-impatient-samurott

Gazing upon the massive samurott before them, Odin and Brynn prepare to launch an attack.

Odin: How come we have to deal with this during our vacation...

Brynn: Because we're the only available team, dear. We have to respond to threats to innocent people and Pokemon. Now suck it up and get to that headgear.

Odin: Fine but I get to pick where we go next after this is over.

Without another word, the pair dashes toward Kappa, readying their moves. Brynn began firing multiple shadow balls to draw Kappa's attention away from Odin, who quickly flew up toward the samurott's headgear. Releasing a barrage of ice beams once close enough.

Okko's Training Arc Mini Event

So, the next post will be a lengthy one. Not only that, but I wish to involve the community with it, so I'm gonna hold a mini-event.

As the title suggests, Okko will undergo a training arc, learning how to fight and control his aura and psychic abilities. Since Phil can't teach him everything, he enlists the help of others, which is where you, the community, come in.

For those interested, I'd like you to send an ask with your OCs helping Okko. It could be something simple like encouraging or teaching him how to fight.

Things to take note of:

Okko is a meowstic, OCs that share moves with meowstics or are psychic types are greatly encouraged and recommended.

OCs that are adept in hand-to-hand combat are also welcome. Okko won't be relying on just moves during this journey.

If you're an artist, you are free to draw a scene along with your ask if you'd like to do so. This isn't mandatory, but if possible, I'd like to cut back on the text and possibly make a little montage video. The art can be something as simple as a sketch, it's up to you in the end. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me here or on Discord if you have me added.

Using his increased speed, Darren dodges both attacks. Before they had a chance to readjust Darren grabbed Durin's foot while he was still in the air and threw him at Tanga with full strength.

[Continued from here! Cropped to save space <3 @blazing-destiny]

[Durin is caught off-guard by the Low Sweep, but managed to get back up. Tanga nearly crashed, but Durin moved to perfectly catch her!]

Tanga: He's fast! Good catch though! Durin: Try not to use that move too much. Can't guarentee I catch every time. Tanga: I won't, don't worry!

[Tanga got up, readying for... something. It was unclear what she was planning...]

Durin: ...ahah... I see. Alright then.

[Durin slid one foot to the side, before zipping off! Durin uses Quick Attack!]

[blazing-destiny]

For a moment the arena was silent. Not a sound was heard...until a fast-approaching shadow appeared above the pair. It was Darren diving towards the two, foot outstretched.

[blazing-destiny]

Good on you for taking her advice. You never know how many cards an opponent will have, for instance...

Just as the attacks were about to land Darren seemingly vanished into thin air. Leaving the two open.

[blazing-destiny]

The raboot reels back a bit from the combined attack but ultimately stays on his feet.

I should speed it up for you then.

Darren starts to stretch a bit, using Agility to increase his speed.

Let's try this again!

Darren once again dashes at Durin, raising his paw to strike.

[blazing-destiny]

That is true. The enemy won't give you a break, so...

Darren suddenly appears behind Durin, his teeth engulfed in flames.

So neither will I!

Darren attempted to get a Fire Fang off on Durin. Chomping down where the scorbunny was.

[blazing-destiny]

The raboot quickly regains his composure, blocking the attack.

Hmf. Guess that means it's time to raise the difficulty level.

Darren pushes Tanga back. He seems to loosen up a bit, bouncing back and forth on his toes quickly and steadily.

Been holding back a bit but you're ready for more of a challenge. What'd ya say?

[blazing-destiny]

This managed to catch the raboot off guard.

W-Whoa!

He gets sent back a considerable distance before touching the ground, almost losing his balance.

Ok, that was some quick thinking...

[blazing-destiny]

Darren dodged the attack, causing them to collide with each other. In the midst of the confusion Darren dashes forward landing a kick square in the backs of the scorbunnies, making sure not to use too much power. (Double Kick)

[blazing-destiny]

Is that so?

Darren uses Sand Attack again, but instead of aiming it, he creates a dust cloud surrounding the area.

Let's see how good you are Durin...

[blazing-destiny]

Prev

Heh.

In one quick movement, Darren pushes off his grounded foot and redirects his raised one to collide with Tanga's fist.

You two make it hard to believe this is your first battle together.

The raboot pushes off of Tanga and backs away from the pair.

Had a feeling you were trying to sneak attack me when I noticed you were hanging back. So I played along to see if I was right, and I was.

Now then, what is your next move? Your communication skills are definitely good, you're figuring out what to do without saying too much. That's a good skill to have out in the field. Now you're gonna have to get creative in your approach. Running a guild and doing missions means I've had more than enough experience to figure out most of the strats you might try to use.

Darres gets back into a fighting stance.

So how will you respond?

[Durin slid one foot to the side, before zipping off! Durin uses Quick Attack!]

[blazing-destiny]

You think so?

Darren replies raising an eyebrow. Now face to face with the scorbunny.

Maybe I just wanted to stop your Quick Attack.

Darren quickly raised his foot in an attempt to kick Durin.

[blazing-destiny]

Quick Attack?

Darren thought to himself as he stole a quick glance at Tanga.

What are they planning this time? Hm...alright let's try this...

The raboot waited for Durin to get close, then proceeded to kick up "sand" around him (Sand Attack)

[blazing-destiny]

Darren chuckles a bit, impressed by the pair's actions.

Not a bad idea, this is actually gonna be a little fun.

The raboot narrowly dodges the High Jump Kick then counters the Low Sweep with one of his own.

Let's see how far you can go!

@blazing-destiny

Darren approaches the pair of scorbunnies, paws in his hoodie.

So you're taking on gyms huh? Never been to one before but I've heard humans say they're tough. If it's training you're after then let's get started. Who wants to go first?

Tanga: Oooh… Tha's tough… I haven't battled too much yet… Durin: But it'd be good as a first battle to battle one of your own species… Good practice to learn moves.

Tanga: Maybe it'd be more fair if we both battled together, you're a Raboot and we're still Scorbunny! Durin: …That's a silly reason… Tanga: C'mon don't you wanna battle with me? Durin: …yeah… It would be nice to battle together.

[blazing-destiny]

Darren smirks at the pair.

Actually, your friend has a point. Double battles are a thing, not to mention you may have to work together in the event of an attack during your travels. It's a good idea to work on your synergy and develop team strategies for the future.

The raboot proceeds to get into a battle stance.

Well, let's see how well you two can work together. Come at me whenever you feel like it.
