Twenty-first Transformation [video/action for Ecruteak]
[It's been a while since the network last got any broadcasts from Envy's 'Gear; just a day shy of a month since he woke back up in Johto kicking and screaming. He's spent that time getting re-used to the world, getting used to being human and to everything that comes with it all over again. It was easier to manage this time, even after being gone a year, and he's not sure if he likes thinking about that.]
[But when the 'Gear turns on, it's not pointed at Envy's face, but up at the sky and the treetops. From the lack of buildings and the forest, it looks like he's out walking just outside of Ecruteak. The camera's following the flying form of a smaller-than-average Tropius as she wheels and skims along the treetops as fast as her leafy wings can propel her and actually looking oddly graceful for such an un-aerodynamic creature. She backwings right in the sight of the camera, neck arched like a question mark, and peers down at her trainer before she's off in another direction again. But she did stop long enough for viewers to catch sight of the little blue Riolu perched on the top of her head, looking perfectly secure in her footing. Apparently this is far from the first time the two Pokemon have done this.]
I still don't know how something looking like that can even fly at all.
[And there's Envy. The camera lingers on the flying pair for a moment longer before he turns the camera to himself. He's sitting on the back of his Tyranitar while Chimera lays out and enjoys the sun, so he's looking a bit farther off the ground than usual. Envy looks a far cry from the raging, wild-eyed person who woke up a month ago; he's back to looking composed and neat and just a little smirkish. Adjusted back into Johto? Mostly. Forgotten the reason why he was so angry? Hell no.]
There's something I've been wondering about, and I figured I might as well try the network. Does anyone happen to come from a world with a place called…'London', I think it was? I don't know anything more than the name, but--
[He's interrupted by a pair of loud, startled cries from up in the air, and the video tilts and wobbles crazily as Envy jumps up and off Chimera's back and lets the arm holding it fall to his side.] Damn it, Izumi--!
Watchers might be able to catch the remnants of a bright glow coming from somewhere above the screen before they'll see that Tropius make an extremely ungraceful, skidding landing in the dirt, along with a newly evolved and newly very dusty Lucario. Turns out that suddenly carrying a much bigger passenger while in the middle of some fancy flying trick does terrible things for your balance. Envy's already walking over to the pair of them, but they're getting to their feet and look like their only injury was to their pride. The now-Lucario barely even looks like that's the case, more concerned with looking over her evolved form with a mix of wonder and smugness.]
Heh, I was wondering when you'd evolve, Samus. [Envy sounds almost proud of her, and gives the fur on her head a ruffle with his free hand. Izumi makes an indignant noise and butts her head against his side to demand attention too. Envy sighs and relents, ending the feed to free up his hand before he winds up getting knocked over by a flying bananasaur.]

[Action]
[Yeah, Envy is bad at the whole 'not flipping switches' thing. When he can't hurt someone physically, he tries to hurt emotionally instead. Right now he's just testing her, trying to work out what he could say to get a reaction. Envy is so smart like that.]
After all, you wanted revenge on someone, you wanted them to suffer like they made you suffer, right?
[Action]
Hands for healing... not for murder, not for killing...
Her fist twitches again.] You and I aren't the same. The man you killed didn't do anything to you! Don't you dare go comparing your agendas to mine!
[Action 1/2]
[Even though she well. Pretty much is. But she does manage to break his insufferable smirking briefly as he scowls.]
[Action 2/2]
You don't know the first thing about my agendas. But by the man I killed, I don't suppose you'd be talking about Ed's good friend Hughes, would you? Heh, but then Ed was bad luck for quite a few people.
[Action] Ohhhh snap.
And okay. Either he was just really good at pushing buttons, or he was just really lucky, because that last comment just about does it for her. Bad luck for people? Her hand moves to her belt immediately, knowingly retrieving Jet and Kishi's Pokeballs.]
Then he's about to be really bad luck for you. I'm challenging you to a battle, right now, you creep!
[Action]
[He was going to send Chimera, but, well. Izumi heard the word 'battle'. So before he can even finish his sentence, the Tropius lets out a cry and flapps over to land in front of Envy. LET'S GO, OTHER TRAINER. Envy blinks, and then recovers.]
Right then, Izumi. You can start out and we'll see just which of our dear Fullmetal's acquaintances has picked up the worse luck.
[Action]
Let's go, Jet! Time to teach this walking palm tree a lesson.
[The fire horse emerges with a snort, scraping its hoof on the ground as if preparing for a charge. He has no idea that this is more than just a friendly challenge, except that his trainer seems worked up. Still, he has nothing against the other Pokemon.]
[Action] That icon is perfect XD
Okay, Izumi, stomp it! [Izumi hasn't got anything against this Rapidash either, even if their trainers were arguing; she just enjoys a good fight. She might be slower than a Rapidash and at a disadvantage, but that doesn't stop her from charging right ahead to deliver a Stomp attack.]
[Action] These two are clearly iconready for action. XD
Jet, dodge and counter with fire blast! [She's assuming that Tropius is high level, so she's not messing around with stat changing moves or anything. Jet, excited for a chance to show his stuff against a stronger opponent than the gym leaders, is all too glad to comply. He gracefully side steps the charging grass type and his mane flares to life with the attack.]
[Action]
You won't have such an easy time with this one. Chimera!
[The Tyranitar lumbers forward, having already been outside of his pokeball and on the sidelines, and lets out a roar. As gentle as he is, he's a strong fighter, and doesn't like seeing his friends getting taken down.]
Earthquake! [Chimera slams his tail against the ground, making the earth shake and crack in the direction of the Rapidash.]
no subject
We'll see about that! Kishi, you're up!
[The Lapras bays, eyeing the opponent only for a moment before Katara gives the command.]
Hit it with Brine!
[Normally the move does more damage when the Pokemon is already down to half its HP, but since Kishi has a type and level advantage the question is more if it will hit or not.]
no subject
[Chimera moves, and manages to dodge most of the attack. But it's still super effective, and afterwards he's barely standing. He still tries to follow through with his own Crunch attack, but even if it hits it would be weak.]
[Envy grits his teeth, and pulls out Chimera's pokeball to call him back. He doesn't want to lose Chimera to this type advantage even if it's not likely he'll be much use later. And secretly he just doesn't like seeing his starter get defeated.] That's enough for now. Xerxes!
[The Luxray comes out with a hiss and a flurry of sparks from his fur. There's a type advantage here, but a pretty steep level disadvantage.]
no subject
Xerxes could definitely be a problem, though, Kishi was vulnerable to electric attacks. Would a possible level advantage be enough? ]
What's the matter, Envy, feeling a little in over your head? [ But there's always room for a good goad, isn't there? ]
Kishi, ice beam!
[ She sounded a lot like an angry whale when she responded-- Lapras were one of the few Pokemon that didn't actually utter their names --with the energy gathering quickly at her mouth. The move had a lower accuracy rate than others but they might get lucky. ]
latest tag ever I am sorry ;A;
Xerxes, Discharge!
[Xerxes, for all his ridiculousness, is actually pretty fast. He manages to unleash his electric attack seconds before Kishi's Ice Beam hits and sends him toppling over. Another one hit KO for Katara.]
[Envy is very displeased by how this battle is going for him. And when losing, he'll just resort to more attempts at emotional bullying.] You know, for all your talk about being better than me, you're pretty merciless in battle aren't you?
[He pulls out his Houndoom's pokeball, knowing that if nothing else Lucky was high leveled and might live up to his name. He tosses the ball without shouting, and Lucky materializes with a howl, eager to battle.]
