Group RP Pokemon: Evolution Quest (IC thread)

The rainfall had become such a downpour that Atelier had to halt his training. Sure, his items were protected thanks to the waterproof charm, yet there was no sense in continuing his training like this. At this point, he decided to find some shelter and perhaps look for his companions too.

He decided to go to the library.

 

In the dojo, Blacky couldn't help but to feel eager to train. But given what he's about to train on, somewhere with water body would be a good start, right?

 

Atelier had removed his hood and wandered about the library. He would have liked to read more of his novel but decided against it. He would rather spend his time researching battle strategies, so he found a seat and began to read.

 

The Umbreon stretched his body, then took his bag and yellow scarf off and jumped straight into the pool. That's when he found out that the water-breathing magic worked.

(I believe @122 Generation said that Atelier is reading some battle strategies...)

 

Atelier spent some time thinking what was the best plan of attack. If the Water Dragon King was too smart, he wouldn't surface at the area of attack. Yet it was way too dangerous to wander into the Dragon King's palace underwater. Rather, a way to lure out the Dragon King and then blocking off an escape seemed better.

 

Okay, the pool itself was calm enough to (possibly) be mistaken as a spring, but also deep and wide enough to pass as a "training ground" on its own right. Blacky drew his new sword, looking around for wherever the master and/or his target (?) were.

 

That voice... the master! Blacky turned to him, eager to train.

 

“Oh, hi.” Atelier greeted the apprentice. “No, nothing much. I’m just putting together a strategy for Lady Aine, if you’ve heard of her. We’re preparing an attack on the Water Dragon King.”

 

"Spiral pattern..." Blacky tried to imagine how it would look like to no avail. "Can you please show me how it's done?" he asked.

 

Quickly flipping through the pages, Xuehua checked for anything vaguely related to something vaguely similar to an orb - anything locked to a certain element still usable by wielders of other elements, or perhaps anything that could alter a spell as it was cast...

 

"Whoa..."

Blacky backed off as the Lucario master passed by him. He watched closely at how the spinning part was done. If anything, the move itself looked almost like an underwater drill or something.

 

(Anything that might help her understand how to use the Orb to change her elemental magic - she probably will not get even close to understanding for a while, though.)
