The Shadow pokemon gave a solid strike, and the Seviper's follow up attack and acceptance of her gave the Zangoose pause to think, before said Seviper offered to try and help with the aspect of getting Alex to understand her plight, with the intention of communicating with his trainer to get them to tell Alex, which the feline pokemon could only respond to with a smile, for once a genuine, sincere smile, before introducing himself formally as Marvolo.
"Heh, a Marvol-ous name..." she joked, wondering if the pun would land with any traction. "Jokes are about the only way I keep m'self somewhat sane in this situation, an-" she began before the Wigglytuff felt the need to rudely interrupt their blossoming friendship by blasting her with a full force Max Strike, followed by spraying the pair with a powerful Dazzling Gleam and while the Seviper weathered the storm, Totsuka was left planted in the ground, with a twitch. "Ow." Totsuka plainly said, in a deadpan manner before slowly climbing to her feet, unsteady. "Totsuka. My human's got a bit o' a fetish for namin' things after weap'ns, almost like some higher-up of some s'rta crim'nal organization..." At this point said trainer had winced on seeing the Zangoose take those hits, and began to fist his palm, urging the furball to finish the job. "I'll be...fine, th' rabbit thing ain't gettin' another shot like that...how's about we bury th' hatchet in 'is back, Marvolo?" she grinned back, despite wooziness as she readied another Crush Claw upon their mutual opponent, hopefully the last one before the Wigglytuff deflated. " An' if yer trainer can get through mine's thick skull, that'd be swell." --- Silk Scarf boosted Crush Claw (75 BP). Last edited by Raves; 06-27-2020 at 06:29 PM. |

There were several Pokémon on Keith's team that had great disdain for puns. Marvolo was not one of these Pokémon, as evidenced by the chuckle he uttered in response to Totsuka's pun. This chuckle turned into an angry hiss as Totsuka was blasted by a Max Strike from Wigglytuff. Did that bloated pink thing have no consideration?! And then, a Dazzling Gleam- Marvolo and Totsuka both took this one, but as though to rub salt in a decade-old wound, Marvolo resisted the move while Totsuka did not. However, Totsuka was not knocked out, and at her suggestion, Marvolo nodded. "Sounds like a plan, Totsuka," he grinned back, turning back to Wigglytuff.
By this point, Keith was more of a bystander than an active participant in this fight, for Marvolo seemed to have taken the wheel here. Indeed, as he watched, an intense aura came over the Poison-type's body as he lunged at Wigglytuff. "...He's using Retaliate?" Willa murmured. "I would certainly call that a smart move, but did he even notice that the Zigzagoon fainted?" "I doubt it," Keith replied. "I think he's just pissed that Totsuka got hurt so badly. Which is not something I ever thought would be the case," he shrugged, still rather blown away by all of this. "Nor I," agreed Willa. "Perhaps you and I had more of an effect on him than either of us thought possible?" "I wouldn't doubt it," grinned Keith. "Or maybe there's more to Totsuka than we know. Either way, I'm willing to bet anything Marv's gonna have to say after this is gonna be worth listening to." OOC: Marvolo used Retaliate (140 BP because an ally just fainted) Last edited by Missingno. Master; 06-27-2020 at 09:17 PM. Reason: Minor grammatical fix. |

"Much as I'd love to bask in your entirely deserved adoration, you need to listen to me and listen now," Marvolo interrupted, and the serious, urgent tone to his hissing got Keith to shut right up and listen as Marvolo, without hesitation, launched into the story of Totsuka- what she really was, why she was what she seemed to be currently, and what wretched Pokémon condemned her to this unique brand of hell. Keith's mouth fell open as Marvolo told him all this, and by the end, a few tears were in his eyes. "What is it?" Willa asked gently. "...You wouldn't believe me," Keith said. "Well, she'll be hearing it soon anyway, because you're hauling ass over there pronto and relaying this to Alex," Marvolo stated to Keith. "In all the years since this has happened, I am apparently the only one who's ever heard Totsuka out and believed her. Basically, this is the one and only hope a fellow Seviper has to potentially escape this utter hell, so if I have to drag you over to Alex myself-!" "No dragging necessary, Marv," Keith interrupted, gesturing for everyone to follow him as he led the way over to Alex. "Alex," Keith called. "First things first, sorry about earlier, I don't even blame you for what you did, because frankly, Marv had it coming- you did and you know it," he added, for Marvolo had started to hiss angrily. "But that's not even the point I came over here to say in the first place- evidently, Marvolo's learned a thing or two about Totsuka that I'm pretty sure nobody else ever knew, and he insists I tell it to you." And he launched into the same story Marvolo told him, about the cruel, vengeful Ninetales, and what Totsuka really was prior to being cursed- everything Marvolo had told him, which in turn had been everything Totsuka had told him. Marvolo, meanwhile, made eye contact with Alex- not to intimidate, but to try and convey that both he and Keith were serious about this. Willa looked incredulous, but at the same time refrained from verbally expressing disbelief- it would explain Marvolo's sudden willingness to get along with Totsuka, after all. *Obtained 30 Watts!* *Keith obtained a TR42 Hyper Voice!* *Obtained 2 Roseli Berries!* *Obtained the Chilan Berry!* *Obtained 4 Rare Candies!* Using the TR on my Amped Form Toxtricity. *Roxie learned Hyper Voice!* |

He had expected the discourse regarding Marvolo, scratching his head idly. "Yeah, sorry about that one. Not like me, things have just been a bit rough and I just sorta snapped..." he replied back, looking at the rather miffed Fang Snake. What he hadn't expected though, was what Keith said next. as he listened, his expression changed, from stoic indignation and skepticism at the thought of Totsuka striking a conversation of some civil level with Marvolo, to slight surprise and connectivity at the shadow pokemon's past life, then back to indignation, but of the scornful sort at the treatment she had received as well as the curse, and as Masters finished, Alex's expression was somewhat unreadable, as he processed this information. The serious look of the Seviper gave the reinforcement, but it was Totsuka's face that made the point clear as day, the once-Seviper's aloof and carefree expression now that of despair and hopelessness. Eventually, his brain found some way to convey his thoughts into words. "Oh Xerneas...that makes...that somehow makes sense...Totsuka, I can't...can't quite apologise enough. Here I though you were a good-for-nowt miscreant, but you, you really are a cursed Seviper, aren't you?" The purple feline merely nodded and slowly plodded to him, arms open and the intent was clear, and the human merely reciprocated and gave her what she needed: a big old hug. Were this information not present, he'd probably have tried to body slam the zangoose, but he knew then that his frustrations were misguided. Eventually the hug was broken, and Totsuka recalled herself into her ball, clearly wishing to have some time to herself. "Can't say I was expecting that, but thanks for hearing her out...definitely gonna have to get used to this, and let the others know too. Who knows, it might help us try and break that curse if she somehow gets purified." With that said, he gave Keith and entourage a quick farewell, stating he had things to take care of elsewhere briefly, and wandered off. --- A couple of hours later, he was sat on a large marshmallow cushion with those aforementioned boys, the Infernape and Mawile ultimately unsuccessful in tracing the Hatterene. That being said, the witch was of no concern right now. No, as the dual types were busy gathering some of the confection, he cleared his throat, gaining their attention as he pulled the Shadow Ball out. "You two are probably the most level headed of the squad, so lemme catch you up. Operation Big Chungus was more successful than Operation Hat out of Time, and we got ourselves the usual goodies. More than that though, thanks to our old friend Keith, I got more of an understanding of Totsuka's situation." The two pokemon didn't seem apprehensive as the Shadow pokemon was released. "So he brought his Seviper, and her and them started talking, whereby she opened up about her past. To put a long story short, she's a Seviper cursed by a Ninetales into this form for daring to oppose their hostile takeover of her turf. Now normally I'd have laughed this one off, but I've been assured this is the truth, and frankly for once I believe her. That being said..." he paused, seemingly thinking of something. "How does Visha sound?" he queried, the Zangoose looking confused at him. "They're an ancient group of female assassins who operated around southern Niha millenia ago, specialising in toxic blades. A more fitting name for a pokemon with an inner toxic heart, no?" he smiled, and after a brief pause, the Normal type gave a nod and a smile, before having a large basket thrust into her claws. "Now don't say I'm not one to keep my promises. Help yourself to your share of the goods on the isle, though don't be too greedy. We got half an hour before our transport arrives, and we got plenty of work to do." His brow furrowed and face darkened as he stated the last phrase. "Besides, I'm pretty goddamn sure I know who this Vigil is, and if my hunch is right, then that all but settles what our next plan is..." --- Claiming the above goodies, and confirming |
