Monks with Bellsprouts

[unyieldingwill]

[Video or Action at Sprout Tower]


[The monk stood his ground sending out his last Pokemon, a Bellsprout. Really? This would be easy then. ]

Astina, that is enough. It is Carrera’s turn.

[It might be a surprise to any one who had met Astina to notice that not only had he been battling again but he had evolved into an Umbreon. Even more of a shock would have been the 5’11” Furret standing by Eagle’s side.
The Bellsprout used vine whip which Carrera scrunched down as close to the ground as she could to brace for the vine‘s impact. She took a little damage, but it was no where near enough to end the battle.]

Carrera, use Ember.

[Recovering from the whipping swiftly she hopped to her feet and Used Ember just as Eagle had asked her to. It was super effective and the enemy Bellsprout fainted from just the one hit. The monk nodded, not happy that he had lost but sort of expecting it. Sage Li handed over the prize, HM Flash and some money… to which Eagle smiled.]

Thank you Sage Li, that was a fun battle and this HM should come in very handy. I know just the cave to use it in.

[Turns to smile at the sidelines. ]

Thank you, Bakura.

Now we just need Geo to beat the tower and we can all go exploring that cave together!

It might be a while before he can since he only has the one Pokemon… but, maybe it would be possible just to share this HM with him once he has a Pokemon that can learn it.

[Since HMs can be used more than once, why not share it! ]

[Action]

[shiromadoushi]

You can share it between people as well as pokemon? Aaa, I didn't realize! That'll make it much quicker then!

Congratulations, Eagle.

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, Lacus.

[He holds the simple looking little disk up to the screen. ]

It is amazing that a disk like this will make a Pokemon learn a new move, but I was told Flash was the only way to get through dark places like some caves. Have you been able to find many HMs?

[video]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

So that is what they look like? [ Looking at the disk curiously. ]

My friend told me about these disks. Can these also teach Pokemon how to fly?

[video]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles. ]

Apparently so! I wasn’t expecting an HM to look like a data disk.

They can if you find the HM named ‘Fly’. I’m not sure where to look for that one yet. I was just told that you could find HM Flash at the top of Sprout Tower if you defeated all of the trainers here. These HMs seem to be hidden all over the place.

Fly does sound like a very helpful skill though. Maybe it should be the next HM I look for. Did your friend tell you where to find an HM like that?

[video]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

Fly would be very useful, especially if you want to see your friends from far away. It will be a more convenient way to travel too. I don't dislike walking though, so I can't say that I mind too much

[ She pauses a while to think. ] But I think it would still be good to have it handy.

[ Shakes her head. ]

Athrun never told me, but I could ask if you like.

Congratulations on your win. [a smile] Was that a gym battle?

[Ryo's new and just recently arrived in Cherrygrove, but he's been told there are gyms you beat to get badges along the way, among battling trainers and wild pokémon, of course.]

[Video]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

Thank you. [Smile returned. ] But, that was just a trainer battle. I haven’t attempted the first Gym yet. I thought I would explore Sprout Tower before challenging the Violet City Gym Leader.

[Video]

[bestcop.livejournal.com]

I was hoping to hear how about one of those. [But that's alright, he still thinks hearing about your win is pretty impressive.] What's Sprout Tower?

[Video]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

I’m sure you will soon enough. There is always some one here winning or losing at one of the Gyms. They usually post about it on the Network as well.

Sprout Tower is a shrine to Pokemon in Violet City. It looks like a… [Very difficult to describe building. ] …a multi-tiered building with oddly slanted roofs. There are several trainer Monks inside and it you defeat them all the led Monk will give you an HM.

I'll keep an eye out for it. [He's taken to leaving the feed on often to try and catch all the things happening, part of his nature he supposes.]

Sounds interesting.I'm in Cherrygrove and it doesn't have anything like that here. What's an HM?

[gorgeouscharmer.livejournal.com]

What are those things!? [Umbreon and the Furret]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[Pokemon
Sarcastic answer delete.]

That is Astina my Eevee recently evolved into an Umbreon and Zaz my Furret.
Maybe you hadn't met them before they evolved?

[gorgeouscharmer.livejournal.com]

[ Is glad you rethought saying that]

It evolved into that thing? There's such a stark difference between what it was and now. [But it is still cute.. which is the important thing]

Sugar, I haven't met any of them in person.. but I know I've seen Astina before. [Zaz not so much]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

It is surprising how much they can change. Zaz used to be… [Demonstrate 2 feet tall. ] … and now he is… [A wave at the now 5 foot tall Pokemon. ]

I know you haven’t met them in person. You must be in an entirely different location than we are. We should try to meet some time.

[gorgeouscharmer.livejournal.com]

[That's like in Cephiro... where people can change heights based on their own will.. except with Pokemon it comes through "evolution"]

Wow. That little guy isn't so little anymore! [He's like the tallest plush toy ever... ]

We should! [.... Or would that give away that I'm from Chizeta? Does that even matter anymore, here?]

[abovetemptation.livejournal.com]

HM? [Recalls the manual briefly] It's short for hidden machine, is it not?

Which HM did this monk have in his possession?

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

Hidden machine, that is right. I don't know why they call it that.

He was carrying the HM Flash. I have heard this is a very useful skill to have when exploring dark caves.

[abovetemptation.livejournal.com]

Neither do I.

With a name like flash... it's purpose is to light the path?

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

Exactly what I was told it would do. You would think a fire Pokemon could light the way… but apparently Flash is a lot more effective.

[abovetemptation.livejournal.com]

Mm. You would.

[And Adeline has a fiery mane and tail.... it's hard to believe that light would be insufficient]

Once you utilize it you will have to inform me on how effective it was.
