Well, the first thing Knight had done upon being released was smack itself face-first into Jacklyn and address her angrily. Seemed about right. Oswald clarified that he didn't belong to Kanon or himself, and then it was off to find the pile of lazy cubones. Along the way, Oswald gave Kanon... not a factual correct answer to her question, but sure was something.

"I'm not really sure myself. It's tradition, right? You see it on the streets, and from town to town. It's just an unspoken rule of battling that's been passed down through the ages. Back in the old days, pokemon battling wasn't as common as it is now, right? It was for survival, or extreme tension like wars and family feuds. It's common practice that losers of those things have to pay up for the trouble they cause...so maybe it's just a lesser, but friendlier offshoot of those rules. But that's just my theory."

"Uh-huh..." Suddenly, Kanon wasn't sure if Oswald was a history buff, or if she was an uneducated hick. She hoped for the former of the two. Soon afterward, the pair found their third member. Nomi. And she was with someone else too, like besides Princess. Another human being. She was way too close to this other girl's face though

"Come on Sleeping Beauty, personal space, back it up a bit," Kanon sighed, grabbing Nomi by the sides and pulling her away from the other girl so that she wasn't so freakishly close to this stranger. Who was she, anyway?

Opinion on beavers?

I'm a sucker for semi-aquatic and amphibious animals, and beavers are possibly my favorite semi-aquatic animal. I like that they build things, and their tails amuse me. Pretty cool animal overall.

The nucleus is the "brain" of the cell.

That was what it said. While Sammi would have preferred to research something a bit grander than invidividual cells, being thorough with her research was important, and she had to start somewhere, right? Might as well start with the building blocks of organic life. Hopefully the other units didn't have the same idea. She'd already long since woken up, or so she'd claim. The reality was that Sammi needed no sleep, and was able to research biology non-stop since coming aboard the Finback. This vessel would be taking her and a number of others to Mecha Cademy, where she'd begin training to be a mech pilot. It wasn't the most conventional means of worming her way into local society maybe, but it was certainly a convenient one.

It would probably be good to get to know her schoolmates. And as it happened, there were some in this very library. A boy with a gas mask, or at least it looked like one, and some girl asking if he had clearance to be near others right now.

"If he was ill, wouldn't he more likely be in bed or something?" Sammi interjected. "And those aren't even the types of masks people wear when they're sick. His would be better for a gas leak or landing on a planet with a toxic atmosphere."

And here I was starting to think you'd gone to PMD because you ran out of Colosseum/XD tracks. 6/10, not that impressive, and sounds like it was meant for an actual champion and the composer simply didn't get the memo that the final battle was against a bad guy.

Vanilla Mood's music is great (I played flute in concert band back in middle/high school and in general I just like those kind of instruments), though I'm sad that when I first got into them they seemed to have not been relevant for awhile.

Also, for future reference, do you rate SoundCloud links?

I do rate Soundcloud links, but I'd rather not since I can rate youtube from within the thread itself.

OP's suggestion. Since Cadence of Hyrule was announced today, let's make this a two-parter.

7/10, not my favorite rendition of the song, even if it's the first one, but a classic all the same.

Given the opportunity, what 1 resistance, effectiveness or immunity would you add or remove from any of the Types in the main Pokemon games?

Remove one of Steel's resistances. I'm not entirely sure which one yet - probably its resistance to Psychic - but one of em that doesn't make sense to me (so most likely Psychic).

"Don't go assumin' things. I didn't win...I just happened to get my medals peacefully after that scrap."

Ahh, so that's how it is! I knew she wasn't as bad as she loo--

"Fightin's what I do, shrimp. I don't take orders from things smaller than me, capiche?" 

Ehhhhh?

"Well, seein' as how you were brave enough to ask me to stop fightin', guess I'll ask for your name too."

"Ah, it's--"

"AND YOU'RE NEXT, PUNK!"

"EH!? SHUT-UP WOULDJA!?"

Aaaaaaah, these two are bad news together! I hope they don't end up in the same class!

Exam day had certainly been exciting. The start of it, at least. After all that mess, Hibiki wanted to just lie down all day, eat some oranges, and call it a day. But today was Monday. More importantly than that, it was the day classes were meant to start! She'd put on the uniform that UA had sent her, and once she'd confirmed with herself that she was in fact super-happy with the way it looked on her, hurried out to get to class. Hibiki had been told that she was to attend class 1-B. And so that was where she'd go! Hibiki hurried along, following her map as best as she could manage.

While she did make a few wrong turns, getting to 1-B wasn't overly difficult. As she looked around, she saw a handful of other students. And by that she really meant only three of them, unless she'd missed one somewhere. Including that tall girl from the exam! But a lot of people seemed to be talking to her all at once, and based on their brief encounter the other day, Hibiki imagined she probably wouldn't like that all that much. It would be better to wait, right?

But that didn't mean she couldn't sit next to the girl. Which she did. The teacher would probably ask everyone to introduce themselves anyway, right?

I'm actually in the hero course! Look out bad guys, Hibiki Himura is on the case! Someday.

Pokemon 2: The Pokening

howdy

“...and that’s why they don’t do much,” Hibiki sighed, concluding the story of her rather small and useless wings, flapping them a bit to get the point across. There were things that had to be done for this exam, and so she thought it was a good idea to establish what she could and couldn’t do with Suda. Unfortunately, most of what she could do entailed screaming at and biting people. “Sorry if that’s kind of a burden or something.”

“Don’t sweat it.” Suda said, tossing his arms behind his hand. So the bat girl couldn’t fly, huh? It was disappointing, but it didn’t really matter at this point. “I’m sure you’ll get those things to fly… someday… maybe.” He shrugged. Not everyone could be as awesome as he was, and that was ok. Afterall, that’s why he wanted to become a hero.

“That’s what I’m hoping for too! After all, what sort of bat hero can’t even fly?” She’d get there though! And then she’d go to all those cool places she never could access without flight. However, perhaps because her attention was turned up toward the sky, she failed to notice a rather large hole in the ground. Her foot fell in, and Hibiki abruptly only barely avoided slamming the side of her head on the ground. She could hear something though, deeper down. “Shhhh. I’m okay.”

Suda was about to answer her question, when Hibiki suddenly fell in the rather large hole on the ground. Suda tried to go and help her, but it seemed that she was fine. “You should be more attentive!” Suda said, shaking his head. “C’mon, we have to get going. I can’t let that bug brain beat me!” He said, starting to make his way around the hole.

“Hold on, there’s gotta be something down here, right? Wait here.” Suda rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. With that, Hibiki straightened herself out, and delved deeper into the hole. She let out that imperceptibly-high noise again, getting a feel for her surroundings in this hole, and also picking up what sounded like snoring. Too hearty to be a person’s though, unless they were very large. The more she listened to her echolocation, the more the mystery figure seemed to be… a bear? With something near it. Not another bear, at least. Slowly, quietly, and carefully, Hibiki moved further down the hole, until she found it. Two medals, though one was quite a bit closer to the entrance than the other.

Maybe somebody found the bear then ran away?

Well, finders keepers. That was two more medals in Hibiki’s pocket, as she - even more cautiously than how she entered - slowly backed out of the hole, with her new acquisitions in hand. “See? We should get going though, in case that bear wakes up.”

“Not bad.” Wait, did she say bears? That sounded extremely dangerous. Luckily she seemed to be more than ok. “Let’s get going.” Suda started making his way around the whole, trying his best not to fall into it.

“...and that’s more or less how my quirk works.” Suda said, having gone on a lengthy tangent about how awesome his quirk was. They had been walking for a while, and he had to speak up a bit due to the river that happened to be running by next to them.

“Woah! That’s like, really really cool!” Compared to hers, Suda’s Quirk was incredibly powerful! But that meant she had a good benchmark to keep track of her progress with, right? When she was powerful enough to contend with Suda, she would be way stronger than she was right now. Using gravity like that could probably accomplish all sorts of cool things. Things liiiiiike…

“Yeah… I’m kinda a big deal.” He said, full of himself. He turned to look around the area, before noticing something in the river. Was that… a dog!? And it was stranded on a rather large rock. “Wait here.” He said, making his way towards the river.

The brown pug was terrified as it stood on the stone, the river’s torrent crashing into it. Suda stood at the edge of the river, thinking about how he could save the pug. The rock was pretty far away from him and, even if it was close, there was no chance that he could swim to it. He looked up to the sky, a dangerous idea coming to his mind. “Let’s give ‘em the Soaring Star Special!” He shouted, aiming his finger at the heavens.

And as he did, an orb formed above Suda between him and his destination. Unlike the other times, however, this time the pull seemed to affect Suda. In fact, Suda jumped straight into the orb, the pull propelling him dangerously towards it. Right before he crashed into it, however, the orb dissipated, sending the boy flying through the sky.

As he flew through the sky, he aimed again at the sky, and another orb formed. This time, the pull was relatively weak, as it slowed Suda’s descent onto the stone. The pug seemed scared, but Suda didn’t hesitate to quickly pick it up as the orb in the sky faded. In a rather swift motion, he shot another orb out and, like before, used it to propel himself back towards the road he and Hibiki were traveling.

As he landed, he started tumbling on the ground, a beat of sweat forming on his brow as he rolled. Stylishly, he rolled back onto his feet, holding up the pug in front of him. It was then that he noticed that the pug was not, in fact, a pug and was instead a stuffed dog. “I did all that... to save a dumb plush!?” He shouted, out of breath. He got ready to toss the plush on the ground, when he saw a shimmer of light come from it. Turning it around, he found not one but two medals on the dog. “No wonder the damn thing... was so heavy…” He muttered.

“Wooooow!” Hibiki cheered, applauding her companion’s flashy moves. “That was amazing!”

Suda picked himself up, giving the girl a cocky grin. “Oh that? It was nothing.” Of course it wasn’t nothing, she was right. That was amazing; it was amazing that he didn’t break himself landing on the dirt. Dusting himself off, he started walking down the road again. “Let’s keep it going! By my count, we’ve almost got all the medals we need!” He said, gesturing the girl to follow him.

“I can show you a picture after the test if you want.” Hibiki was talking about her twin sister. As much as she would have liked to show a picture right now, her phone was back in her dorm.

“Sure.” Suda responded, giving the girl a thumbs up. “Right now, though, let’s get you that last medal.” He was tempted to ditch her to find the last medal herself; afterall, he had the 5 he needed already, and she only needed 4. However, he decided against it, as that wouldn’t be very heroic at all. Plus, he’d lose the first member of his fan club. “Now where could it...” As he looked around, he felt something jump on his head.

“Aaugh! Hey!” He shouted, looking up to see what had just hit his head. In his sights was a rather playful looking monkey on a tree that was sticking its tongue out at him, and in its hands was a medal! In a panic, Suda checked himself to make sure the rascal hadn’t taken one of his, but luckily that didn’t seem to be the case. He let out a sigh of relief, before realizing what was happening. He turned to Hibiki. “Follow that… that goblin!” He said, as he started chasing after the monkey.

“Got it!” And thus Hibiki started running after the monkey. He was an agile critter, but Hibiki wouldn’t be worn out with just a little bit of chasing. Keeping track of him was a bit difficult, but she was managing pretty well. How did a monkey get here anyway? Was he a teacher’s pet or something meant to steal medals? Hibiki would comment that it seemed a bit underhanded to do that, but it wasn’t like she and Suda hadn’t taken some from other students.

Meanwhile Suda was following behind her, but he was starting to get a bit exhausted. He was relatively fit, but the spectacle he had given earlier was starting to take its toll. They weren’t making much progress, although they were keeping up with the rascal. Suda had to think of something fast, as he turned to Hibiki. “Hey, you said... you wanted to... fly, right?”

“Yeah?”

“Then fly!” He shouted, firing off an orb into the sky towards the little monkey. Hibiki and the monkey would both feel the pull of the orb as Suda stopped running to catch his breath, his eyes on the orb.

“Wait, what!?” But before she had any further time to protest, Hibiki was already in the air, pulled on by Suda’s gravity orb. The bat girl was launched toward the monkey, but rather than grab the monkey or his tail or anything like that, Hibiki snatched at the medal in his hands. It was quite a bit easier when he couldn’t keep jumping from tree to tree because of the gravity pulling on him. And then, the orb disappeared.

Hibiki hadn’t really thought about that part.

The bat girl started downward, toward the ground below. It was quite a descent. Landing flat on her face would probably hurt a lot! As if it would help, she began to flap her wings, with more and more frantic urgency as the ground got closer. While she did indeed still hit the ground with a resounding thud, it felt like maybe she softened the blow a bit? “Owowow…” That had really knocked the wind out of her. Landing on all the medals in her possession - there were five now! - didn’t help much.

Meanwhile, Suda had just picked himself up from the ground, having collapsed after released the orb. He was sweating a bit from having made so many orbs in such a short time span. “I hope this doesn’t mess with my hair...” Suda thought out loud, before remembering what he had just done. “Oh crap… Hibiki!” He ran up to the girl, who was on the ground face-first. “You ok down there?” He asked, a sense of panic in his voice.

“I’m okay,” Hibiki gasped, rolling over onto her back. “I just landed a bit worse than I expected. These medals are heavy. Just give me a bit to catch my breath, and watch out for the monkey.”

Suda nodded, taking a seat next to the tree. He didn’t want to say it, but he also needed a moment to catch his breath.

It seemed that they had made it back in time, as people had just started gathering around. As a nice bonus, there was no beetle in sight yet. “Yes~!” Suda exclaimed, pumping his fist at his victory over the towering insect student. He hoped that he made it back here with his own badged - after all, he had a prize to claim, although the satisfaction of victory was more than enough for Suda. He turned to the others that were there, and was shocked to see one of the students with a bag full of the badges they had spent time getting. “Pssh. Showoff.” Suda grunted, shaking his head, before turning back to Hibiki. “Well, we did it. Good work out there.” He said, extending his arm out to her.

“You too,” Hibiki said, returning the handshake. It seemed that quite a few other people she recognized had made it back after all. Including one of those dangerous girls. Did the other one not make it? That was unfortunate, even if Hibiki wasn’t sure how to feel about that girl. For now, it was probably a good idea to get to know these other students. She could end up sharing a class with some of them, after all! Starting with…

The dangerous one! People who looked dangerous were usually just misunderstood, right? And it would be way better to have her as a friend than an enemy if she was as bad as she looked. And so, keeping her badges close, Hibiki stepped up to the remarkably tall girl.

“Hi again! I heard you and that other girl fighting in the woods earlier. Since you’re here, I guess you won? Good job! ...but try not to pick too many fights with other students. You’d probably get in trouble for that.”

"A superhero? Huh...that ain't bad. Definitely shows with what you displayed during out bout. Still, guess your world was pretty interesting if that's the case."

"It seemed like a pretty normal place to me," Aurora shrugged. If anything, Gavin's seemed like the interesting world. Sentient AI, cool laser gadgets, probably spaceships, it all sounded like something straight out of a sci-fi movie! It got her thinking about the kinds of worlds other fighters came from too. Maybe she'd be able to visit one someday? Mmm... that actually seems like a bit too much. For now, just one foreign world was good enough for Aurora. While Gavin seemed down with Aurora's investigation plan, there was still the issue of what to do before taking off to the casino.

She'd gotten so used to fighting in the arena before she even knew it, that having a day where she wouldn't duke it out with another fighter felt weird. Was she able to get in there for a sparring match maybe? Possibly?? It was worth a shot, right?

"I could show you some stuff I learned in hero school if you want in the meantime, if you show me what those gadgets do. They're really cool, and I might be able to bring the ideas back to my world for support items!"

"Let's test out the new blood!"

"I'll teach the lot of you how to behave! Come on!" 

And just like that, chaos ensued. The whole place had erupted into a free-for-all brawl, and that meant it was time for more fighting. Some fighters - like Randy - would probably be content to be right in the middle of everything. Not Nani. She was more suited to be at the edge of the fight, if she ever fought at all. Which she had, quite a bit. I'll try to sit this one out. And for a short moment, it worked. Despite the bone she'd tossed at the Manectric - it must have missed or something - nobody was attacking Nani at first. And then she stopped being so lucky when a Pangoro walked up to her, looking real angry like her existence had offended him or something.

What was his deal?

Before she had much time to think about it, the Pangoro wound back for what would likely be an absolute beast of a punch. It was hard to tell over all the other fighting, but she was also pretty sure she heard him call her a "Pikachu freak". Seriously, what's with this guy? Oh well. He didn't seem to know the truth, but was about to get a harsh lesson. Nani jumped at the Pangoro, swinging her foot up to kick him in the chin, with pretty pink lights to make it count and causing it to make a satisfying popping noise on impact. And he was down.

"I'm not a Pikachu," she sighed, leaning in closer to the Pangoro's face. "I'm a Mimikyu." ...not that you can hear me right now. You're not looking so good from that hit.

With that, Nani turned her attention back to the things that mattered. Like Manectric. She wanted to deal with him, but also didn't want to throw herself into the middle of the chaos. And so, instead, she sat back down next to Trevor.

"If you don't like all the fighting, why not move somewhere else with the kids? Northshore's a pretty place, even if the people living there are kinda... not that great."

"Knock it off," Kanon whispered to Knight, in response to the leaves smacking her in the face. She was familiar enough with plants in her face to not be especially bothered by it, but to say it wasn't at least more than a little irritating would be a lie. However, the fight then ended, and while Kanon did loosen her grip on Knight a little bit, she wasn't sure about letting him entirely free just yet. He and Lunar would need to always have someone keeping an eye on them, wouldn't they?

"You won, so here's from me to you. Enjoy."

That was a custom Kanon never really understood. You lose a battle, and then you give money to the winner? Was it illegal to not pay them or something? What happened if the loser didn't have any money? Kanon cast a glance toward Oswald, who didn't seem pleased that she lost immediately after taking him out of the fight. It was time to take off, and as long as the trainers didn't stray too close to the side of the ferry, they had a few hours to kill.

"Well, looks like we've got some time on our hands. I can't fish while the boat's moving...wanna go see what sleeping beauty's up to?"

"Sleeping, I bet," Kanon replied. It seemed okay to let Knight loose now, maybe. And so, Kanon released the Hoppip from her grip, letting him roam free, but coupled with a stern "Don't go picking any fights, Knight."

And then back to Oswald.

"Do you know why trainers give people money when they lose in a battle? Is it illegal not to pay them or something?"
