First

[Action]
[Garrosh appeared in the forest. An unfamiliar but lush forest. It's clearly not Ashenvale and it's not any other one he's familiar with, but there's game to be found and it's pleasant. But it is also certainly not Durotar, he's alone, with no gear or weapon and his back is pain. Still, instinct drives him: the first thing an orc needs, be it on Azeroth or in Outland, is some sort of weapon. He scouts around for a sturdy looking branch and a sharp seeming rock to fashion himself, with an hour or so's work, a primitive spear. With this supplementing his eight foot tall, muscular (and tattooed) brown form, he's better off.

...Aside from the weird partial polymorph on his back. He doesn't know magic (at least no well), so while pride dictates he'd prefer not to have these wings, with no immediate implication the black things are a detriment to him and (from when he reached to try to tug on them) the realization that they are sensitive, he's resolved to ignore him until he can force answers out of a mage.

So, the massive but quiet (he is a skilled hunter, after all) man is now skulking in the forest. Both to find something to eat, and to find answers (being as how he ignored the journal at his feet originally, oops). So if you're in the forest, particularly if you're not an orc or troll or goblin or tauren or look like any of those, expect to be hunted. It might be dangerous, but he is looking to question, not kill, at the moment. Probably.

He will, of course, probably make it to town eventually, and when he does you'll also see him going to the Smithy and then promptly back out of town with his gear in hand, following the rivers and going up to survey the mountains/more of the forest over the next few days, camping as he goes. So if you'd like to chime in there, that's possible too.]
contestconqueror: (NO! You can be the shoe.)

Only after I wrote this did I realize the humor of using Blizzard, jsyk.

Mimi, Blizzard now!

[The Milotic rears up, and with only a trill from her as a preamble: there's a strong gust of frigid air that's rushing in Garrosh's direction. The flakes from the miniature storm are thick enough that Ruby is hoping it will obscure his vision long enough to escape. That, or freeze him to where he stands; with the power capping here that's not likely though.

Regardless- he's going call back all of his pokemon sans Mimi, rev up his running shoes, and try to book it now. What do Garrosh? Will he get away?]

contestconqueror: (WHY?! Ruby believes he's GIR. that's why)

[personal profile] contestconqueror 2013-01-30 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[What stops Ruby from taking off is Mimi's squeal when she's hit- it wasn't a direct blow to the head, but her head fins trail behind when she ducks; they're what ultimately gets slashed.

She hisses. It's deeper than Sceptile's leaf blade had done, but it's a similar concept to battling him (or so she thinks): avoid being tackled, avoid the blade.

Not even waiting for Ruby. You're close- you're being blasted with a water pulse if she can help it.]


MIMI!

[Nononono. This was not how this was supposed to go. Not at all. The most he's ever done to a human before was buffer their advances when he was threatened, never get in a battle directly with them. Especially a person who's armed-]

What's your problem?! Let us leave!
contestconqueror: (I am yelling!11)

[personal profile] contestconqueror 2013-02-03 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Because you looked like you were going to charge at us!

[Well it appears to him Garrosh isn't advancing yet - just swinging his screaming axe around (what is what that anyway, is it alive?)- so he signals for Mimi to stay put for now.]

[Slay her- Slay?! He hugs her protectively.] I wouldn't leave her like that! She was assisting me so we could escape. That blizzard was only meant to make you immobile temporarily, so no bloodshed would occur here. [He eyes her head fins, frowning] B-but I guess it's too late for that now...
tsuntrader: (What would you know?)

SENIOR TO THE RESCUUUUUEEEEE

[Ruby is extremely fortunate that Silver forgoes the majority of his social interaction in favor of staying in the forest.

He recognizes Garrosh from earlier and has no qualms with him, but the safety of his junior comes first, so when he hears the scene from a distance, he runs to be back up as quickly as he can. Sneasel's already by his side, but he lets out Feraligatr as well before calling out commands.]


Hydro Pump! Ice Beam! [The big torrent of water is aimed at Gorehowl; the Ice Beam at Garrosh's feet. Whether it makes him drop his weapon or jump back or even just stand his ground doesn't matter to him as long as it serves the purpose of putting time and space between Garrosh and Ruby and Mimi- but he's not waiting for that, either, as he runs to put himself between them as well while he scrambles to think of a strategy to work with whatever happens next.]
tsuntrader: (Watch it.)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2013-02-09 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[It just about sends Silver flying back with the trees, but Feraligatr manages to grab him and stay planted; that doesn't stop it from hurting any of them, and the entire group is stunned for a moment afterward. (Literally.)

Of course, that's not an excuse to stop; if anything, it's more of a quick call to action than ever.

But he doesn't want to fight, so he simply pulls and straightens himself up while staying glued to Feraligatr.]


Recall your Pokémon, Ruby. [While he usually sounds calm and passive, his orders for Ruby are powerful and commanding. Ruby might be afraid, but Silver knows no such fear.

He turns his attention to address Garrosh and speaks as quickly as he can; he expects a second attack at any second, so his guard stays up.]


We've exchanged blows, but I'm not here to pick a real fight.
contestconqueror: (Mrrfmrrmgurf)

Senior to the rescueeeee

[personal profile] contestconqueror 2013-02-09 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
['Overstimulated' would be a good word to describe how Ruby's feeling right now. He's transitioned from bracing for the worst, to adjusting to the sudden presence of his senior and now- the resurgence of combat.

Much like Feraligatr did for Silver; what keeps Ruby planted during the shock-wave is clinging to his bulky water-type. He cringes at the sounds of trees being snapped behind him.

When Silver orders him to return Mimi; he simply nods at them both before returning her to her ball.]
tsuntrader: (Hmph.)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2013-02-09 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
We're comrades. I'd protect him with my life.

[It's true, of course. He doesn't think too hard on it when he says it. He and his Pokémon don't so much as begin to relax until Garrosh's stance changes; once it does they slowly start to settle out of their defensive position.

Feraligatr's grin never leaves his face.]

[personal profile] contestconqueror 2013-02-09 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[There's no filter between his shock and his expression. He's reminded of Sapphire's loyalty and eagerness when Hoenn was in danger; she didn't even know most of the people that were in trouble, but she was willing to risk her life for them.

He's only known Silver for a little over half a year and he'd be willing to say such things?

He

He has so much respect for you right now, Silver.]


... Thank you, Senior.
tsuntrader: (Hmph.)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2013-02-09 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
When push comes to shove, he's no coward. I've seen it myself. [He's seen him take action in the Battle Frontier. In a way, he still owes Ruby his life for that, even if he wasn't the main player of the game.

Maybe he's putting too much faith in him. Maybe not. Doesn't matter now.]


I'm not here to convince you. I just want to take him home.
contestconqueror: (But they're invisible)

[personal profile] contestconqueror 2013-02-09 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah yes, the Battle Frontier; those were different circumstances then. They were there to help with a threat, and the battles were between pokemon and pokemon- not pokemon and people.

Part of this was chiding himself that battling Garrosh would be cruel because pokemon tend to be much stronger than humans. Yet, with the power cap here he wasn't even able to subdue Garrosh, let alone damage him with Mimi alone. It's debatable whether he would stand a chance even if his hand were forced.... and it still could be forced now.]


Choosing your battles doesn't necessarily make you a coward. You may disagree, but I know that Senior Silver- and most definitely I don't want to fight you.

tsuntrader: (...Right.)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2013-02-09 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Silver glances over at Ruby to get him to comply- the look is a combination of "let's not piss him off" and "trust me". It's okay, he's got this.

He then turns back to Garrosh. He said he wants to take him out of here, there's no need to repeat himself yet. Whether or not Garrosh will allow them to leave at that is up for debate.]
contestconqueror: (Punching trees is not therapeutic)

[personal profile] contestconqueror 2013-02-09 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a little bit of wincing at Garrosh's volume, but otherwise there's no response from him- it seems like he's going to follow his Senior's advice here and actually be quiet for for once.

He's going to trust you on this one, Silver.]
tsuntrader: (...oh)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2013-02-09 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[That scream startles him, but he tries to keep it off of his face. It's all the more of a motivation to leave.

He said they can go, and that's what matters. Silver quickly recalls his Pokémon and lets out Murkrow- he then grabs Ruby and from there, well. They're flying off. He's not pushing their luck.

You are now the DAMSEL IN DISTRESS, Ruby. What will you do?]
