The Legendary Saviors! (RP)
Forum-Index → Roleplay → The Legendary Saviors! (RP)She summoned her partner, Xatu. "Help me keep him awake," she murmered quietly.

Rai stared at her feet, leaning back into a corner of the lab. Eee-mo-shuns. She was not used to feeling them, not this many, not this intense. Guilt for upsetting Magnus. Concern for his well-being. Shame for going behind Zaria's back. Fear that she would lose three potential friends. The bold Electrocutioner was nowhere to be seen. Her Stunfisk flopped by her feet, having escaped its pokeball. It seemed to be smiling at her, reassuringly. Rai swallowed, staying out of the way.

"Has he eaten anything that either of you have not?" She thought for a second that her little chemical tranquilizer might have caused this but... if so, then Raiden would also be tripping. So it wasn't her. She grabs the metal thing and opens the bottom lid, pouring in a liquid.
Roserade sat down next to Raiden, upset that he did not do his job well... and still held the nutrient bars in their petals. Seeing the upset Rai, he offers one to her now instead. Or both, maybe she had a nut allergy! The other petal was directed at Stunfisk.
You know the first rule in combat? shoot them before they shoot you.
Magnus took a deep breath in.
"...I was 11... The streets of Castellia were especially rough that winter. I remember that vividly. Blistering cold, tonnes of snow piling up. I wandered a bit too far from my foster home for the month, and winded up on the other side of town. The good side of town."
Magnus clised his eyes, sighing quietly.
"...god, I wanted to be there so badly."

Or is it
weakness?
You decide.

Stunfisk slurped up both energy bars that Roserade offered. He would eat anything. Rai already had to stay alert to make sure he didn't munch on any tin cans, something that happened more often than it should. She slumped down next to her pancake, brushing a hand over Stunfisk's back. He was an exemplary emotional support pokemon when needed.

Magnus sighed.
"That should've been the first red flag."
He tried to brush Zaria's hand off, reeli g slightly from the phyaical contact.
"Please don't touch me. Anyways, this guy, he had one hell of a silver tongue. soon, I found myself becoming friends with him. At first, we were just shoplifting convenience stores for food."

and Porygon-Z decides to zap the thingamajig with Thunderbolt, somehow leaving Araceli unharmed. When the "procedure" is done, she opens the left side of it and out comes purple steam, which she blows over Magnus using her mouth. "An indicator." She explains. "Any non-organic or non-natural material would light up under normal light. Kind of like that weird stuff at the dentist to check if you brushed your teeth."
You know the first rule in combat? shoot them before they shoot you.
Magnus laughed.
"And it felt good. It felt good to steal from those rich bastards who'd never starved a day in their lives. It felt good, no, it felt great."
He opemned his eyes.
"...but it came to an end, as all things do. We got caught. Qnd the first thing that bastard did was stick a knife through my ribs and run."
Magnus drew a circle over his ribs.
"...fxck, that still hurts to this day."

Zaria barely watched the science, paying less attention to something STEM-related than any other point in her life. She listened to Magnus's story with a mix of sadness and understanding. Her analytical mind noted how the trauma of that betrayal still affected him physically and emotionally. The lingering pain in his ribs served as a constant reminder of the past, a wound that had yet to fully heal. It was a stark reminder that the consequences of one's actions could have long-lasting effects, both physically and mentally.
"What happened next?" Zaria said softly, her eyes wide. She reached out a hand but thought better of it, remembering his reaction earlier, and pulled it back.

My current RP work:
Jet was surprised when the belt attached itself to her. That was new... She attached the regular Pokeballs to it then turned the Cherish Ball to Keldeo. "So do I just-?" She was cut off my Keldeo using its horn to press the button on the Cherish Ball. The Ball opened and Keldeo became a red digital fog which was sucked into it. The Ball shook once, twice, three times, before dinging to signal a successful capture. Jet smiled softly before turning to her starter. An orb of rock material with a pair of arms which was able to bounce in place.
He laughed quietly.
"But even after all that, I couldn't forget the rush of crime. Of taking items from those who had too much. So a few years after I got out, i started stealing again. And then I got caught, again. But that time, I ran. I ran, and ran, until they couldn't find me."

"And after you ran, how did you end up joining Team Plasma?" Zaria inquired gently, her analytical mind seeking to understand the connections between his past and his current affiliations. "Was it a conscious decision, or did circumstances lead you to them?" She tried to approach the subject delicately, knowing that discussing one's involvement in a group like Team Plasma was... sensitive. But she also knew that uncovering these details could be crucial in helping Magnus now, as it might offer some insight into the source of the hallucinogen and the motives behind its use on him.

When she heard the story, she was mixing some other things into a pot when she mentioned without looking. "Related note, Magnus, lift your shirt."
Roserade meanwhile had eyes as shining as Clamperls. Immediately, he went for a hug at Stunfisk, they were the first one to acknowledge him!
You know the first rule in combat? shoot them before they shoot you.
He sighed.
"Worst mistake of my life."

Zaria motioned to Ara to hurry it up. "You can explain what is sure to be a fascinating process to me later, I promise." Business-like, she situated Magnus like Araceli had asked.
"Mine too," she whispered. "Team Plasma... was not what they billed themselves as. They drew people in with the promise of making a positive change, only to reveal their true intentions later. You know I made the same mistake, believing in their cause, lured in by the promise of science. It wasn't until later that I saw the damage they were causing..."
"I won't sell you out. Or slip a knife between your ribs, either. If t-that makes you feel better."

My current RP work:
Roserade twitches a bit, being paralyzed from the attack. She then... switches positions with Porygon-Z, then back around and cured from his paralysis. That's... one way of activating Natural Cure. He then looks around and offers food again, this time some leftover chicken from the cafeteria.
You know the first rule in combat? shoot them before they shoot you.
Magnus closed his eyes, quietly.
"And they always have to choose."
He stopped, coughing violently.
"Holy fxck."

Rai looked on with amusement, relishing the distraction from her thoughts.

Zaria watched with a mix of curiosity and concern as Araceli began her procedure to cleanse Magnus of the hallucinogen. She knew that Araceli was skilled in her craft, but she couldn't help but worry about the potential side effects of the antidote. She held her breath as Araceli worked, hoping that this would bring some relief to Magnus's condition. Despite the urgency of the situation, Zaria understood the importance of giving Araceli the time she needed to do her work properly. Rushing could indeed lead to more mistakes, and they couldn't afford any missteps in their efforts to help Magnus.
Zaria's heart ached as she listened to Magnus's words. She could see the pain and vulnerability in his eyes, and it hit her hard. "I understand," she said softly, trying to be as comforting as possible. "It's hard to trust, especially when you've been hurt before. But sometimes, taking that risk is worth it. Not everyone will choose to hurt you. There are good people out there, people who will stand by you. I... I'll be one of them, hmm? I've always wanted to be..."
