Meet the Makers - First chamber (Dorthea~Aglaia~mod)

[Marchbaby]

The curious pair of Natu forsaw a battle being unavoidable and the more experienced one acted on it's vision just as Keo started her attack. Natu rushed towards Keo and pecked her forehead just as the powdery snow began leaving her mouth. It was not the most painful thing imaginable but it still hurt enough to anger her. Before the other Natu could make it's move Keo tried to launch her attack again this time succeeding in a wonderful display of power. Both Natu were covered in flakes of snow but luckily for them they were not frozen. The younger Natu was really upset by now and it was going to unleash it's mighty beak on Keo next.

The bird Pokemon followed in the footsteps of it's companion as it closed the gap with Keo. She had the type advantage but that did not matter to the vengeful bird as it pecked her forehead with all the strength it had. By now young Heidrun had finally gotten close enough to her foe to use her Thunder Wave. The electricity surging through her body came to a head as she fired a small jolt from her mouth. The older Natu was too busy focusing on Keo to notice and it paid the price as the jolt scored a direct hit. Natu's body grew numb as the electricity coursing through it's body finally subsided.

The younger Natu was quite worried seeing it's partner in such a crippled state. They would need to come up with a good plan and fast as both Pokemon were already getting exhausted. One more Powder Snow like the first one and it would be lights out for both of them.

Dorthea tried to nod in understanding at Aglaia's explanation. They still sort of looked like birds to her, even if they were tiny and only jumped around. They had beaks and claws, and admittedly very small wings. However, right now she was more worried for Heidrun, as she was smaller still. "I am calm," she grumbled, and didn't sound calm at all. Her fingers still fumbled with Heidrun's ball, and even if she hadn't, she would need for Heidrun to stay still long enough. Dorthea wasn't sure why the Joltik was suddenly so scittish, but her first guess would have to be because of the birds.

Aglaia asked her question, and Dorthea winced. They had been talking about it, and Dorthea had said she would think about it, but she honestly thought she had more time. She couldn't let Aglaia down though, and took a serious look at the Natus just as the white fox and Heidrun faced them. The white fox was rather impressive. Where had that come from? As soon as Heidrun seemed to have gotten rid of the surging electricity, Dorthea decided she stood still enough and called her back. She also registrered that the Natu Heidrun had attacked seemed effected, and Dorthea pointed at it. "I'm guessing, I'm catching that one, since Heidrun has already weakened it?" She didn't quite manage her usual confidence, but she moved on trying to decide which of her Pokemon to take Heidrun's place, now they were in battle. The only one still out was Diarm, and at the sight of him Dorthea couldn't help but notice the similarities between him and the Natus. Exactly why wasn't she afraid of him too? "Come on, Diarm. You can run along and play a bit with the birds." She offered and smiled encouraging.

Diarm chirped happily and ran out in the field to face the birds like he had seen in the earlier battles. "I got to play! I got to play!" he told Freyr in a happy shout.

The white vulpix took the attacks stoically and didn't seem surprised at all that they both had decided to target her. They hit her hard but with how cold the two birds looked, she wasn't particularly worried, another Powder Snow and they would be down for counting. She waited to see what Aglaia wanted her to do as she had no need to show that she already knew it. She had no need to show off, that was not why she was here.
A flash of light recalled the tiny yellow electric bug and she was facing the two natus on her own for now, not that it did much difference from last round and she waited patiently while the humans talked.
Soon after Diarm joined and she smiled kindly to him.

"Good," was Aglaia's short answer to Dorthea's grumbling, she was more occupied with her pokedex than Dorthea's mood.
She looked up when Dorthea had made a choice and nodded to show she understood, then she frowned as she didn't know what attacks the icy vulpix knew and if the pokemon would listen to her. It would be a problem if she used that ice type again as the two natus may not handle it well. It would be a shame if they were chased away now Dorthea had been persuaded to try capture one of them. Who knew how long it would take them to find another and if she could get Dorthea to catch one by then?

"Well done but don't use that attack again, please?" Aglaia called to the vulpix urgently.
The vixen made a movement that looked like a nod and continued to wait in a battle stance, ready for when Aglaia would ask for her help.
"If you want to help out, can you focus on the natu that attacked last?" Aglaia said hesitantly and was surprised when the vulpix immediately attacked the weakest natu with a quick Ice Shard.

She would then wait once more but would take a brief moment to look back at Freyr.
"I would be ready if I was you," she warned with a smile and he looked confused at her. What was she talking about?

Aglaia was stunned silent by the vulpix's actions but shook herself into convincing Dorthea this was a good idea.
"I know they look like birds, even though they are a small version, but if you read the pokedex, they aren't very birdlike," she explained and mentioned how the pokedex said they couldn't fly and was good at climbing.
"It doesn't even learn any flying attacks from what I can see, only the Peck it is using now, or else the rest should be psychic moves or similar. You won't be able to find a less bird-like bird pokemon, other than if you counted Beautiflies as Madam as a bird?" Aglaia asked and looked intensely at Dorthea, challenging her to find any reasons against her arguments.

The two Natu knew things were not going well after the first round though the still wanted to try to turn the battle around. They had both been hit pretty hard while not managing to knock out either of their foes and they worried about Keo freezing them to death. Even if they avoided that fate getting captured was another worry. The eldar Natu had to come up with something but before an idea could pop into it's head Dorthea swapped out her Joltik for her Torchic. The strange looking bird scared the Natu even worse than the frosty Vulpix that had to deal with. It was not a very ideal situation to be in but it gave the older Natu an idea. If it's plan worked it might stand a chance.

Before it could move however Keo launched an Ice Shard against the weaker Natu knocking it out. The remaining Natu had nothing to stop it from being captured now bit refused to give up on it's plan. It looked over at both of it's opponents with a mighty Leer leaving them both unnerved. Their defenses both plummited as fear took hold of their bodies. Even with their lowered defenses they were in better shape then the poor Natu. It was still paralyzed and now alone trying to fight for it's freedom.

Natu watched both the humans and their Pokemon with great caution as it waited for the next round. It could not afford any mistakes without it's partner. Unless it had an amazing stroke of luck soon nothing would turn this battle around.

[Thirdie]

Dorthea had a hard time focusing. Not her usual problem, but her mind were all over the place, while she tried to keep her head in the game. It helped that Heidrun was safe again, and she listened to Aglaia's voice that was the epitome of calm and matter-of-fact. It wasn't too important what Aglaia was really saying. She was talking to the white fox, and where had that beauty come from again? Dorthea would have to ask, when they were done here. Next, Dorthea could hear on Aglaia's tone, that she was arguing a case. Dorthea did her best not to actual hear the argument. She knew she would lose it anyway, and she just nodded for the most part. She caught the tail end of the words though, registrering the name of her Madam. "Of course not. Madam is no bird." Dorthea readily agreed, only thinking to herself 'She just has a set of wings'. She had decided she better not prolong the battle any longer, and fished out a Pokeball, or rather a Greatball. She didn't want to risk the featherball popping out, and she hoped the better ball would secure it immediately. "Hold your stance, Diarm. There's a ball coming your way." she warned her Torchic, and threw the ball.

"What do I do? What do I do?" Diarm asked and looked around, when Dorthea didn't give any attack to show for. The birds hadn't even done anything with him. One of them had already tired and was lying down, while the other only stared a bit menacing. "I'm here too!" he shouted after the bird and jumped up and down.

[Tarlar]

Aglaia too wondered from where the vulpix had come from, and why it so readily helped her. She almost acted like she was her pokemon, or like she wanted to join.. Aglaia pushed the thought away as wishful thinking. An elegant and well trained pokemon like this icy one, surely had a trainer and there were no reason to hope for something or try make a partnership, if you had to part ways shortly after anyway.
Wystan and Saury too wondered about the vulpix, although where Wystan were concerned for Aglaia's safety and feared the white pokemon where hiding something, Saury just wanted to talk with her since she surely had an interesting story about what she was doing here.

As Diarm was sent forth Aglaia glanced down at Freyr who were sitting stately beside her, and wondered what he would say to battle. Most of the time he acted like he was more fitting to be a pet or a living decoration in some mansion, but there had been times, where she found he didn't fit into that picture. He had also bonded with Diarm it seemed, so perhaps he would be alright with joining him?
Aglaia shrugged, there was only one way to find out, and she had brought him along to figure out what kind he was.
"Thank you," called Aglaia to the vulpix, who stayed in battle stance and patiently waited.
"Hey Freyr, what do you say to join Diarm?" Astrid asked and Freyr looked astonished at her, before he slowly rose and walked out to join the torchic, not really daring to believe it.
The vulpix didn't need to be told to step back, she did that the moment Freyr was asked and as she passed him, she smiled mysteriously to him. He sent her an uncertain glance, before he turned his attention to Diarm and the remaining bird.
"Hi, seems like I get to play as well," he said and began to feel excited about it, until he saw the thrown pokeball, and his shoulders dropped again. No, he probably wouldn't get a chance this time.

As the vulpix settled beside Aglaia, the girl tilted her head thoughtfully as she looked at her fennekin, he had looked really disappointed so perhaps that meant he did like to battle?
Saury greeted the vulpix, who answered politely.

(ooc: Freyr switches in)

[Lamont]

The ball whipped through the air, a streak of blue to complete the rainbow of colors currently occupying the clearing. Unfortunately for the excited little fire fox the capture device was quicker than one would expect; or perhaps not. The natu was already weakened, paralyzed, and with the use of the higher tech ball there was basically no chance for the injured bird to escape. Before the vulpix could retreat back to her trainer and switch with her kin the great ball and already clicked its success.

[Thirdie]

First when the ball clicked shut and locked did Dorthea relax fully and almost sagged in the shoulders. She had done it. She went and collected the inconspicious pokeball, petting Diarm on the way. She pocketed the ball without qualms. She had long since learned the new ball couldn't open as long as her team counted six. She rose and looked to her cousin with a half smile. "Got it. Are you satisfied then?" It was just a rhetorical question, but it made her think of something else. "Grandfather doesn't need to know, right? I won't give him the satisfaction." she added in her stubborn voice. She would learn to not fear the birds with this little thing, but she didn't have to show the old man that she had done as he had wanted.

Diarm was very disappointed the play time had ended before he got anything out of it, and he ran to Freyr's side in a huff, stomping his feet to show how mad he was about it and almost falling on his beak in the progress. Trying to catch himself he managed a somersault in front of the Fennekin, sat flabbergasted for a moment, and then started to cry. "I didn't get to play for real." He was too preoccupied by this injustice to notice that Freyr hadn't even gotten on the field.

When Aglaia had agreed to Dorthea's wish of not telling, she returned to another, more delightful matter. "And who is this beauty then? Where does it come from?" she asked, bending down to have a look at the white fox, that had helped them out. "Thank you for the help." she told it, and listened to what Aglaia could tell about the stranger. Until a noise broke in, and she looked to Diarm, who sat crying on the ground a little ways off. "Oh, no. What's wrong?" Dorthea got up again and approached the Torchic in worry. "Did you hurt yourself? I didn't see any of the birds near you." She tried to pet Diarm, but he refused to let her touch him, and she looked to Aglaia to see if she had any suggestions. She worried her lip. "Maybe we should go back to the chamber at least. There doesn't seem to be other ways out of here."

Freyr had barely been told to jon the battle before the remaining opponent was caught and it was all over. He shared Diarm's disappointment although he didn't express it as vocally as the young torchic.
He saw the compassionately look the icy vulpix sent him as they past each other, but at the moment he didn't care. He couldn't use her pity to anything, but he had just hoped this meant this trainer would give him the chance of doing something else than just be an ornament.
He couldn't do much for Diarm and just nudged him a bit with his nose. He tried to tell his young friend that the exact same thing had happened to him and that was what could be expected from humans unfortunately, but he wasn't sure if the torchic heard him.

"Doesn't seem like you were right," Wystan said dryly to the vulpix, as he still mistrusted the ice type and her weird behavior.
"I was right about him having to be ready, he was asked to join the battle, just too late to be able to participate. I have never said that I'm always right, I just get a feeling of something happening and do what I can to act accordingly," the vulpix answered kindly.
"So your claim about having to join is also just a feeling?" Wysten asked accusingly and the vulpix chuckled.
"Yes, although a very strong one. And I can't see how I should be wrong now I have managed to get all the way here," she explained but the beedrill just looked more warily at her.
"You claim you traveled from another region to here all by yourself?" He asked doubtfully.
"Oh no, not alone. I have got a lot of help from pokemon I have met along the way," the vulpix defended herself with a laugh and continued, "but does it matter if I'm right or wrong? I don't pose any threats to you. Can't you just see me as a wild pokemon who wants to join a trainer and get the protection and free food?"
Wystan made a disgruntled sound and didn't answer.

"You are not angry that you are accused of lying and such?" Saury asked curiosuly, as he was much more interested in getting to know a potential new companion rather than figuring out why she wanted to join.
"No, why should I? I'd say it is natural to be wary of a stranger who comes and make claims. I think it is a good sign that you are protective since that means you care about our trainer, and you wouldn't do that if you didn't like to be in the team," the vulpix explained warmly. She looked between Saury and Wystan before adressing the ivysaur once more.
"Perhaps you can explain to me, why it is this gentleman and not you, who are the most protective here?" She asked as it usually were the starter pokemon who was the most protective and the leader of the flock.
Saury shrugged.
"I'm not much into all this battling stuff, though I do what is asked for me. I'd rather have a good chat and make new friends. Also Wystan is a much better leader than I would be, so it is a good solution," Saury told happily, and Wystan smiled dryly from the diplomatic answer.

Aglaia smiled with little humor when Dorthea asked if she was pleased. Not as much due to the question, but because she still hadn't had a chance to share her news.
"I have no reason to tell Grandfather, this is for you own good to help you get over your fears," Aglaia answered with a genuine smile.
Aglaia too turned her attention to the white vulpix who were chatting happily with Saury. Aglaia waited a bit with answering to see if Dorthea would notice the difference in her starter's appearance. If not, she couldn't help but be quite disappointed. That Saury had evolved was a big thing for her, as she had been worried she was doing something wrong now Squirt already had become a wartortle, and she expected them to be equal now they were traveling together.
"I don't know, she was with Freyr and Diarm when I found them, and it has just tagged along. I guess it is lost and has a trainer somewhere, so we should probably help it and take it to the pokemon center," Aglaia answered.
The vulpix gave Dorthea a polite nod as answer. She wasn't surprised with Aglaia's suggestion, and had expected to have to tag along for some time to convince her.

They got interrupted by Diarm's wailing and Aglaia watched as Dorthea failed to touch the young pokemon.
"My guess is he is throwing a tantrum, though it will be hard to figure out about what since we can't understand him. The easiest would probably be to distract him so he forgets, that's what Granny always did with you," Aglaia said with a wink.
She listened to Dorthea's suggestion about going back up and nodded her agreement.
"Sounds like a good plan, we may destroy something down here that the archaeologists wants to check out. I think it will be easier to distract Diarm if we're somewhere else than here were something is bothering him," Aglaia said and looked at Freyr who was still sitting out where the battle had happened.
"Perhaps Freyr can help too, it seems like they have bonded, so I'm letting him stay out. I also still would like to see if he likes to battle and such, or what he prefer," Aglaia thought aloud and called Freyr to her.

"Come on little one, we're going back now," Freyr would call to Diarm and if the young torchic didn't listen he would snap, "Oh stop it, that doesn't help. I told you that humans like to stop playtime and that is why I took you out to adventures in the caverns. I will do that again when we get the chance, but that is impossible as long as you are screeching."
When Diarm had calmed down a bit, he would softly add, "I want to play with you, and we will play a lot, I promise you that."

As they were heading back, Aglaia would inform Dorthea about Saury's evolution, if she hadn't noticed it before, and she would tell about the smeargle she had met and caught for Astrid.
When they reached the rope a little problem occurred since Aglaia would recall all her pokemon, expect Wystan who could fly, before climbing up, but couldn't do so with the vulpix.
So she wasn't sure how to bring it along to find its trainer, and the vulpix clearly didn't wanted Dorthea to touch or carry her.
The vulpix excitedly leaped at one of the occupied pokeballs when Aglaia called in Saury, and nudged it expectantly while Aglaia looked doubting at her.
Slowly Aglaia found and empty pokeball and the vulpix pushed the button herself and got caught with only a single shake. Aglaia stared at the pokeball in disbelief before staring at Dorthea, not knowing what to say.
"I hope this won't give me any trouble," she mumbled before she placed the pokeball with the rest of her team and climbed the rope to get back to the first champer.

Leaving the nice little glade of the hidden chamber the duo went back into the gloom of the darkened tunnel. At least it wasn't hard to find where their rope was, the object still dangling nicely down from a soft light trickling in through the hole in the wall above them. After the new addition to Aglaia's team they were ready to pull themselves out of the secret chamber and back into the halls of the ancient ruins.

As they reached through the wall to re-enter the better known section of Alph there was a distant echoing noise. It was high pitched, whistling, nearly like a stray breeze catching a tight corridor just right. The pitch would change rhythmically, as if something was humming a tune. The noise continued and it became apparent that it was not one, but two sources. Brief pauses as this alien song bounced along the halls in the syllables of E and U. After a moment it was clear that whatever was the cause was moving; coming closer. Within time it sounded like it was nearly upon them, but there was nothing to see. Until something large, pronged, and black flew out of a crack in the wall.

The being gasped, its harmonic eeeing piping into more of a surprised shriek at the sight of the two trainers. Another black shape followed through the crack, having already stopped its hum when its companion shrieked. The odd pokémon blinked a few times with their cyclops eyes before sounding a deeper chirp and beginning to glow, eyes narrowing with determination.

[Thirdie]

As Dorthea was looking at the white Vulpix talking to Saury, she realized Saury looked different and bigger "Wait a moment..." she was just saying, when Diarm interrupted her thought process. Dorthea nodded to Aglaia's suggestion at what was going on with Diarm after her fruitless attempt to calm him down, and she shared a grin at the reminder of their grandma's tactics, when Dorthea herself was being impossible. "Come on, Diarm, lets go back. We'll find something else to do." she tried to cheer him out of his stage instead. It didn't seem to work at all, but Freyr nudged the chic and 'said' something, and Diarm made some hiccuping sounds before quieting down and following behind Freyr who almost seemed to take the lead. "Looks like you're right," she commented and tagged along Aglaia as they began walking. "Is it me, or has Saury grown?" she asked the next moment, and listened to Aglaia's story of what happened back in the tunnel. "Astrid will be delighted I'm sure."

When they arrived back at the rope, Diarm seemed to have forgotten his tantrum again, he was jumping eagerly to try and hop up the hole, though the thing was several feets above Aglaia and Dorthea's head, and more than 7 Torchic's above Diarm's own. Dorthea called him back with a laugh, and watched Aglaia deal with the problem of getting the white fox with them too. She shrugged, when Aglaia got it in a ball. "I doubt it belongs to anyone, if it goes so voluntarily in a Pokeball. Didn't they say in school once, that Pokemon already caught refuse to accept another ball? Or did I misunderstand something?"

Back in the chamber above the hole in the floor, Dorthea let Diarm out first thing, so he could enjoy whatever he looked forward to up here. Dorthea still found the place a bit boring with nothing but dust and bewritten walls, but if he enjoyed it, she wasn't complaining. They had barely gotten their bearings before an unfamiliar yet familiar sound crept around in the room, foretelling the arrival of another letter, two actually. Dorthea set to deciding a strategy, but before she could do anything for real, Diarm gave a loud chirp and ran towards the E. Maybe he recognized the form from earlier, and thought it had reemerged for another play round. He couldn't want anything else than play, could he? Whatever he was thinking his claws started to glow, or rather weird shadows collected around his feet.

Diarm saw the floating letters, and called immediately to Freyr. "Hey, look. Do you think they are here to play some more? They must be. I want to play for real this time!" He was all to excited to wait for Dorthea to tell him what to do. Freyr was here, and he had promised they would have fun together. "Let's play!" he ran forward, thinking Freyr joined in just beside him, while he readied his claws for a great jumping slash. The playmates wasn't getting away from him this time.

[Tarlar]

Aglaia frowned at Dorthea's comment and she thought of it while she crawled up the rope. She couldn't get it to fit together.
The vulpix did not act like a wild pokemon and she had clearly wanted to be caught. She seemed to be a friendly and calm pokemon so Aglaia found it hard to believe someone should have dumped her, but how else should she had come here?
The vulpix was surely not native in this area, probably not to this region, so how had it come here?
"They are linked to the pokeball if caught, so it is impossible to capture one if it is already caught, that is true," Aglaia finally answered when they were both up in the chamber with all the writing on the walls.
As Dorthea let Diarm out again, Aglaia quickly followed as the fennekin had been useful in handling the young torchic before.
"I just find her behavior weird, she is clearly not a wild pokemon, but then what are she doing here? If I couldn't have caught her, she just would have got lost from her trainer and we could have helped her back home. Some people don't capture their pokemon pets, and she may belong someone like that, and I can get accused of trying to take her for my own and that probably means a lot of trouble," Aglaia explained and paused as an eerie sound was heard.
She quickly decided that she couldn't undo what had happened, but that she would investigate when she came back to the city. Who knew, perhaps she was just paranoid and the icy vulpix' owner would be thrilled and grateful to get her back and she would get an explanation on what was going on.
Time to focus on what was going on right now.

Her worries made her slow in digressing the situation and coming up with a plan, and Diarm had taken things into his own claws well before Either Aglaia or Dorthea was ready.
Freyr looked curiously at the floating weird shaped pokemon. He had no idea if their sound meant they wanted to play or not, but he agreed that it could be fun checking out what they were capable off.
There were only the problems of the humans. He didn't have good experiences with trying to act out of the ordinary with humans around, and he had often been scolded for not staying elegant and out of trouble.
He hesitated.

"I'm sure Diarm could use your help if you want to, go on," Aglaia urged him tryingly as she eyed an opportunity to see if her feeling was correct.
Freyr looked surprised at her and fidgeted with his feet uncomfortable, not sure what to do.
"Go! You can't leave that poor inexperienced chick alone! He needs you!" Wystan buzzed and pointed with one of his stingers.

Freyr leaped forward as Wystan had spoken with a lot of authority, but he still felt it was wrong, and he feared what the consequences could be.
Nevertheless, he spit an ember after the U unown so that it at least wasn't one against two, in this battle.

(ooc: Freyr uses Ember at U. Unown seen until now: E, U)

[Dan]

The Unown were curious regarding the Torchic’s behavior. Was it being aggressive or playful? They could not tell, as their species had one eye and no other facial features that could insinuate emotion or mood. They instead took the fire Pokemon’s actions as a sign of battle.

The Unown E was the quickest out of all the Pokemon, dispelling a strong hidden power move at Diarm. This particular move turned out to be a dragon type attack! The fiery little chicken launched back with a night slash attack, a great choice seeing as how it would be super effective on a psychic type like Unown! Although both Unown U and Freyr had the same speed stat, the psychic letter was first to make its move, throwing out a hidden power dark type on the little fox Pokemon! Freyr was not going to go down easy, he channeled the fire gem’s power in order to unleash a hardy ember attack right back at the foe! The fire starters were in for quite the interesting match, but through perseverance, they could defeat the foes. Freyr’s fire gem disintegrated into dust upon activation, hopefully he could channel some latent energy in order to pull out a win for his team.

Dorthea listened to Aglaia's explanation to her worries about the Vulpix, and as usual it sounded logical enough. "I hadn't thought of that" she admitted, but then couldn't help but wonder aloud: "But why would anyone just leave their Pokemon down there, if they trust them enough to stay with them without using a Pokeball?" It was more an addition to Aglaia's worry about the weirdness of the situation, but Dorthea didn't think that deep about it. It wasn't like they could get any answers from their speculation, so better just roll with it.

Right now things were really starting to roll out of their control, with Diarm going straight for the 2 Unowns. Surprisingly, he and Freyr handled themselves well against the letter Pokemon. Dorthea was tempted to believe, Diarm had grown without her noticing. "Alright, alright, boy. So you want to play, is that it?" She asked, more rhetorical than anything. "Then give it another slash with your claws, Diarm. That looked to work well."

Diarm was jumping up and down in celebration of his first hit. He didn't even seem to register the pain from the Unown's own attack. He was chirping happily. "We're playing! We're playing! Again! Again!" He stopped shortly to look at Freyr for advice, as he hadn't really been thinking the first time. "What do I do next?" Dorthea called something to him, and he recognised the word 'slash', but still looked to Freyr for confirmation. "I do as she says, right?" As soon as Freyr confirmed this, Diarm jumped once more, chirped an "Okay!", and threw himself into another attack with his claws.

Aglaia had no answer to either he own or Dorthea's questions about the snowy vulpix, and when they couldn't talk with the pokemon, there were no way of figuring it out before they got back to town.
She hoped that it would be possible to get some answers there, and to find the owner and get her home safely.

Aglaia watched Freyr closely while he attempted to burn one of then unowns to crisp, and she was impressed with his strong embers, that flew through the air. She was even more impressed by Diarms strong scratch attack.
"Oh wow, that looks to be really effective against those letters, what is it called?" Aglaia asked Dorthea and if she couldn't answer, she would start looking through her pokedex to see what torchic could learn, and what move that fitted best with the attack he had just used.
"The only attacks he knows which is done by his claws are Scratch, Crush Claw or Night Slash, and that darkness thing that occurs around his claws I'd guess the last one. That should be really effektive against psychics like those unowns," Aglaia said without taking her eyes from the pokedex.
"That would also mean his father could be a purrloin," Aglaia said with a smile with the thought of her Shadow being father to Diarm.

"If she gives you one, yes. That is the best idea," Freyr answered a bit panting and looked at the young torchic who leaped forward with his shadowy claws again. He wasn't sure if Diarm really needed any help, and he glanced back to see if Aglaia had anything to say to him.
Wystan gave her a nudge, when she was too focused on the pokedex and she looked up, only to blush ashamed that she had forgot she had a pokemon participating in the battle.
"That was an impressive Ember Freyr, just continue with that," she urged him, and he did as asked a bit perplexed. It wasn't as strong as the last time though, since the fire gem was no more.
Aglaia frowned wondering why it was less strong this time, as she had forgot about the gem she had given him a long time ago.
