Ulkina and Alucard (Latias and Gengar) "Captain are you okay?" Ulkina asked sincerely. She too felt the drop of temperature, although she didn't want Azauqyar to know how skilled as a psychic she really was. It was indeed a spirit, much like the one she felt the presence of earlier. The ambience this spirit seemed to be emitting was a clashing duality of heartrend and mischief. It was a depressed spirit like the one from earlier, but in a different negative tone. It felt like it was coming from behind the throne, although she didn't want to convey her abilities as an esper to Asauqyar. From behind the throne, the little purple ghost fought back his own tears, attempting to put on a facade of anger instead. He growled quietly to himself. He didn't want to make his presence known to the green dragon and Ulkina. Hecould never muster the guts to talk to the both of them after what Ulkina confided on Azauqyar. "I'm sorry Ulkina, but maybe my service to you is done," the ghost whispered to himself. With that, he shamefully melted through the walls of the throne room to the exterior of the castle. Aria (Lucario) When the dragon concluded his story and the guards ceased their awkward bantering, Aria shook her head sighing."You've had your own. Skeletons in the closet, that surpass mine even. I always wondered who exactly I am without...this thing here." She indicated the gauntlet she wore carrying the Lucarionite. "The Raksha Demon, the Lady Champion of the Land People. And the last of the noblest clan of Wyatt. My mother and father were all that was left of multiple generations of hardened warriors and guardians, until they bore me. The stone made me righteous by leaving me as the last of my kin. It's sad really. I never should forget that I am more than this succubus adorned to my arm. I am the envoy of the noblest name of Wyatt." for She shut up for a moment to think to herself. The guards sat quietly and she expected no reply from the dragon and his guards. In the darkness, she thought. In the darkness, there is light. And suddenly a wild idea occurred to Aria. "Stratos. Bear with me here. But I'd like to confide an interesting concept. One that could contribute to ending the conflict. Maybe, just maybe, what if we could instead of releasing the spirit, try to tame it

TFW a person you have a crush on starts rubbing against you and turns you on. (Although they don't mean to)

Easiest way. Step 1: Obtain a Magnemite family Pokemon Step 2: Ensure it has Thunder Wave and Sturdy Step 3: Evolve it into Magnezone Step 4: Pray like hell for no flinch and T.Wave the Arceus Step 5: Destroy the shit out of the slower than Slowbro Arceus.

Mmk Wander a few things 1. Sorry for the bunnying. I got a little too into it. Fixed it. 2. To address A, B, C I can explain A - I may know that, but Aria doesn't automatically know that. B - Again, Aria may not know that, considering all she knows about Strat is the past time period and foreign rumors. C - Unintended bonus of having a psychic/pseudo-psychic/esper as a character. She didn't exactly "see" the memory like how the Xatus did when they extracted it like a vision, but she could feel his old feelings, because odds are he never forgot completely, he just buried them in the back of his mind and Aria is resurfacing them. Her guess is an assumption. If you're weak you get picked on or helped. 3. Edited the scene to how I (from the eyes of Aria) saw it. I'm writing it from where I assume Strat is, which would be near or distantly away from the cell, but still there, which is how I interpreted it.

(@Wander. Got dupe post erased) Ulkina (Latias) "Thank you for your service Captian. I will do my best to not disappoint. I am willing to start whenever you want. I just need to go off and tell a good friend of mine the news." She flew to the window staring at the beautiful mountains outside. They were breathtaking. She mused with herself, indue time she could finally have a regal purpose to life instead of wandering aimlessly like she had followed for years. Finally she could enjoy her family. Finally, she felt at a stable home. Azauqyar was near the door to the throne room. He seemed puzzled or intrigued by something. Ulkina didn't understand what, but she got the jist of it. "Unless you have something else you wish to confer Captain, you can carry on." Aria (Lucario) In the faint moments Stratos had turned away, talking to the mages to retrieve the "Keystone" and a "Thanatos" the Lucario's eyes glowed a faint blue as she couldn't help but delve into the dragon's mind for the hell of it. She spotted the dragon at the end of her cell. From his old thoughts he looked bothered in them, maybe not on the outside, despite how deeply wedged these memories of his. However in these moments he'd been with her he had expressed nonchalance, anger, and a mix of moot expressions. She didn't understand why, but she decided to lightly touch on that then and there. Aria looked up directly at the back of the bllue dragon. "You know, you and I are not so different. Sure the circumstances were different, but at our core, we have something in common. I may be a fool and a weakling, but I can read your heart and mind alike. I must say some interesting topics of discussion surfaced." "I understand I shouldn't be in any position to speak, but I am most curious about you. I could see younglings taunting you, mocking you, and bullying you. I could see at one point you were weak like me. What happened to those days?" The Lucario chuckled to herself. "I can see it now. The Raksha Demon versus the Sky's Titan. That would make for an interesting fight. If we weren't knee deep in conflict, I would legitimately want to spar with you."

Oh yeah. I almost forgot I wqs writing this up. Honestly I'm tired and a little lazy to look up all the Pokemon available at the first few Wards. I'd appreciate it if someone could give me a list of everything that shows up in Opal, Peridot, and under the Railnet. Also how are y'all liking the Starters portion so far?

Aria (Lucario) Damn that stupid blue dragon on Aria's will. She sat in utter silence, tempting to refuse to answer the question at first. He most likely wouldn't believe her, no matter how heartrending she could make her story sound. However those large eyes. They were indeed something else. They were Intimidating her with an otherwordly charm to just go ahead and explain the spirit. She wanted to break down and cry desperately, but any real sign of weakness might have been a giveaway for him to dispose of her. "T-the spirit. At first I-it tried to soothe me. It tried to make me see I couldn't live without it then. It told me "it is delicious, to taste the first drops of power." "It was morally wrong, yet principally correct. It told me that without it, I would wither away to nothing. I never wanted to hurt anything. I only gave my consent to the stone to let it sate it's lust for blood. It got cocky and tried to assume control over my body. It succeeded. Maybe too much. In the arena, it whispered into me how despicable the gladiators were. How despicable they thought they would have a chance with it at my side." "On the day of the small village, I finally came to the realization. I didn't have to let it control me. I didn't have to let it use my frail body as a vessel for malevolance. It thinks it is in control over me. However, it knows it is nothing without me. I am trying to eradicate it's influence, but it puts up a strong resistance. It tells me to give in. Let it manipulate me. Well no longer, because I hate the violence." Ulkina (Latias) The Latias flew in loopty-loops and hummed to herself nervously as she traversed with Azauqyar to the majestically decorated throne room. She ceased humming and forced herself to swallow a lump in her throat as the nostalgia came quickly crashing in. Nearly a month ago, she floated alongside brother and her newly reunited blood brother. She sat upon the throne getting comfy, although a quick scowl from the green dragon forced her to hop off. "I wanted to talk to you about the Kingdom's affairs. I wanted to talk about Kruga. And I wanted to talk about the future of us. After the situation with brother, I had to weigh in on my decision of Kruga's promise some time ago. Then, his words never struck my heartstrings. As some time passed, I realized I have a brother who loves and cares for me. An actual brother. That...thing in the court was not brother. It was a ghost in a shell." "I can hear the thoughts of Eric. He has wanted for so long to reunite with me. To rekindle our love of a family, and I was going to turn him down for that...creature I naively followed for years. I never questioned the creature's decisions, but I think I understand why he felt familiar to me. Brother," she squirmed on the inside as she struggled to say his name "Alucard, has looked out for me. But I think that the winds of change are quickly approaching.. I am not a child anymore. I am an independent female dragon. I should have a say around here." "Eric gave his life to the Kingdom and he found me, yet I would have easily turned my back on the only real family I had. I had to think whether I really am worth dying for. I think the reason Alucard was so familiar was because maybe he died for me." "Azauqyar. I wish for a request. I want you to teach me the ways of the dragon. Maybe even Eric coukd teach me a thing or two. Because I want to take Kruga's word. I want to sit beside my brother upon the throne. As his second and his queen." The Latias took a deep breath, concluding everything she had so say. However she and Azauqyar were not alone. A certain purple ghost had apparated behind the throne right when the two closed the throne room door. The ghost wiped away a tear that formed under his eye, as he sat in regret. "Why Ulkina," the spectre whispered to himself. "Why'd you do this to me?"

Well I dunno since you DO fight a disturbed Shelly. I mean she just watched a dude jump off a building. Also Aya battled you after getting her ass kicked and a lamentation session. Also you battle Noel after like half the group gets pissed or depressed and leaves. So Amaria should not be crossed out because of injury.

Sora (Excadrill) "Ah my liege," the old battered mole said, bowing to Napoleon. He hefted the bag over his shoulders that he had been carrying earlier. "On my latest mining venture, I found a most curious assortment of rocks and gems. I do believe they are imbued with special energies that could turn a tide of battle in our favor." The Excadrill spilled the contents of the bag all over the ground, clattering rocks and shiny gemstones riddled the once clean floor. Fiddling through the pile of rocks and gems until he procured a small light brown gem and held it daintly in his claws. "You see your Highness, these gems emit a mysterious energy that can amplify the power of an attack. This one for instance can power up my Earthquakes and Drill Runs." He dug through the gems and found an equally small crystal blue gem that sparkled beautifully. "This one, in particular can amplify the power of many moves that you possess my Lord. Hydro Pump, Surf, Waterfall, you name it. This one makes Water moves more powerful. This gem in the wrong hands can be dangerous and potentially fatal." "Although I did notice one thing, which is understandable for such rare pieces of finery. When I used my first Ground Gem, the gem mysteriously shattered into dust and blew away. I have drawn the conclusion these gems are only viable for one use. So in a desperate situation, these gems could prove to be lifesaving. I was thinking about handing these out to the soldiers to see if they are worth it. I have found POCKETS of these babies. Wouldn't you agree that's a good idea my liege?"

If I never made it clear enough ever, I love mono Steel. I would die for a team like this. On Showdown, I have used this team and I've gone on a good winning streak for the past few days. Quite frankly, I love the Steel types for their multiple resistances and offensive and defensive presences depending on the Pokemon. This team is about as good as one can make mono Steel, and here we go. Scizor (Scizorite) @ Technician Adamant 252 HP 252 Atk -Swords Dance -Bug Bite -Bullet Punch -Superpower This guy is not exactly the star of the show, but he pulls through for me more often than not. Since I don't run a CB set, and it takes up my Mega slot, I run Swords Dance on it. If Mega Metagross or Lucario were available I would definitely consider running them. This is a standard Mega set, except for the odd SP for those who favor Roost. Superpower is to get a nice neutral hit on a lot of Fire switch-ins. Klefki (Leftovers) @ Prankster Bold 252 HP 252 Def -Reflect -Thunder Wave -Foul Play -Spikes The little keychain is always a nice addition to pretty much any team that needs a status support. My favorite hazard setter and disrupter that also equates in a Steel type. It is so fun to watch tanks duke it out with the keychain while it lays up to 3 layers of Spikes, spreads T.Waves like Ebola, and wails on physical attackers by using their best strength against them\ Heatran (Choice Scarf) @ Flash Fire Modest 252 Sp. Atk 252 Spd -Flash Cannon -Overheat -Earth Power -Ancientpower Heatran is THE ONLY reason I never get ass-face destroyed by mono-fire by being able to absorb all Fire attacks and cover Fire types as well. Flash Cannon is standard STAB to hit Fairies and Rock. Overheat is an excellent power move that gives me an excuse to switch out, being using it more than once is never really a good idea. The other moves are pretty much filler. If I slap a Scarf on this baby, it can outrun almost every single relevant unboosted Pokemon out there. Bisharp (Focus Sash) @ Defiant Adamant 252 Atk 252 Spd -Iron Head -Sucker Punch -Knock Off -Low Kick Bisharp requires a little more explanation. It's the only priority I run. Hits Ghosts and Psychics a little easier. The only Knock Off user on my team that can afford the slot for it. Defiant is a decent enough ability. Low Kick is good for certain coverage and to hit on neutral switches if one fears for their life. Excadrill (Choice Scarf) @ Mold Breaker Adamant 252 Atk 252 Spd -Iron Head -Earthquake -Rock Slide -X-Scissor Standard Scarf set on an Excadrill. Only other member of my team that gives me a chance against mono Fire with an incredible Earthquake and Rock Slide if I need to switch. Iron Head is reserved more for Fairies and X-Scissor is more for Psychic, Grass, and Dark coverage. Ferrothorn (Leftovers) @ Iron Barbs Relaxed 252 HP 252 Def -Protect -Stealth Rock -Power Whip -Thunder Wave Another generic Ferrothorn set. I prefer Power Whip over Gyro Ball, because mono Ground tends to destroy this team, and Power Whip is a good consistent move to give me a chance, since those teams are generically bulky to begin with. Standard Rocks for entry hazard chip and T.Wave for crippling. ------------------------------ Opinion: I could use Jirachi instead of Bisharp, but I personally prefer Bisharp more. This team has an ok matchup with Fire and Ground, but lacks in the Fighting department. I believe investing more in Jirachi may help me in the long run. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah....

You know, I'm gonna be for real here in my speculation. It's most likely gonna be Amaria that we battle, and Tania is definitely the next most likely candidate. Considering the girl JUMPED OFF A FUGGIN WATERFALL she's prolly gonna be injured. Titania might use a field that's already in use and we don't know it. When compared to the other Gym Leaders who are putting up a decent fight against Meteor over Labradorra and Agate City. Then again, she could pull one from out of left field like she did with T3rra in E14. I honestly didn't expect to battle her, because I thought Agate City would come before Ametrine. Yeah they're running out of food and starving, but AN ENTIRE CITY'S POPULATION IS UNCONCIOUS, AND CAN'T FUNCTION. Edit: Or to one up even better, she might put in both Gym Leaders, although that's unlikely, considering the 1 Gym per Episode deal.

I second that. The Champion and Captian are pretty muh fuggin scary by themselves. If the two of them can somehow sway the Latias, Gengar and Lucario to join their cause it could get pretty nasty. Wander isn't screwing with you when he says the military is very serial about the fighting and stuff.

Don't worry Chim. Sora will provide as many gems as you want. Also Sora wants to speak to Napoleon concerning hisnew find.

Shame I'm not a chick or else I'd do Sapphira, especially after the magazine you discover in Belrose Manse. I can't swallow my pride enough to dress like a chick. Prolly would dress as Samson, because he's more than doable, considering he already talks anime. I'd carry around a strongman bell too because it's fitting.

So this one wasn't as well broadcasted as the Aegislash unban, but if you haven't heard, Landorus-Incarnate (the genie form) is getting suspect tested for a ban to Ubers. The primary reasons for it's ban are a good speed, good typing, and LOTS of tech options in Rock Polish and Calm Mind and MANY coverage moves. All these though pale in comparison to it's ability Sheer Force giving a 30% boost to pretty much every move it can learn, PLUS Life Orb recoil not activating, giving it a monsterous 1.6x power on most of it's hits, even off no STAB. This guy pretty much is in the same boat Greninja was in when it got banned. This guy isn't even as common as Lando-T (the cat-looking Lando), but Smogoj believes this guy is ban-worthy, because the only real counter so far is Latias-Mega. So what's y'alls opinion on the land genie? After the Aegislash vote to stay banned, I think this guy needs a kick to the curb. If Aegis got unbanned, I think this guy would be ok. I say it will get BANNED.

Commander I just wanted to voice in that Mega Stones are a thing here, when you assume "items don't work" Other things like type gems, weather rocks, etc. are still just like Mega Stones; still items. Plus some Pokemon kind ofalready have armor in one way or another. EDIT: What is Yash's and Tyran's opinion on items outside of Mega Stones being a thing?

Ulkina (Latias) In her tremendous speed down the hallways of the castle, she felt the familiar reek of death wash over her. The same presence she felt earlier was encroaching upon her. Ulkina flew around in a complete barrel roll as she booked it through the halls trying to find the same spirit from earlier. At least she assumed, may have been the same. After wheeling around a corner, she caught up to the familiar Captian who had failed to notice her earlier. "C-Captian. Could I possibly have a word with you in the throne room? It's rather important, and I need to get it off my chest while I have the courage." Aria (Lucario) The Lucario's writhing ceased as she stared into the eyes of the imposing Salamence. The big guy looked intimidating, but she knew he was nothing more than bark for now. She noted the large hole in the armor on his chest. It looked like something important could have fit in the hole. Aria spat on the floor beside her. "Well I guess I have a REAL whopper of a story to tell you. You're probably not going to believe me. I feel like you're gonna disembowel me for today." The innocent and childish Lucario steeled her nerves and looked at the towering beast over her, ready to recite her tale. "You may have not heard of me, but I've heard of your derelict hide. Stratos Valgiri they told me. Glorious Champion of the Sky Kingdom. Well I do applaud you for such skill." The Lucario sarcastically clapped her paws together, earning a frustrated grunt from the Salamence. "Where was I? Oh yes. I used to be the Champion of legend in the Land Kingdom. The Childhood Prodigy many of the fans and loyalists called me. The Raksha Demon the Arena called me. Not only did the Kingdom entrust me with their safety, they trusted me in their entertainment. You see, I didn't always have the monster inside me. It began when I evolved at around thirteen. I was a young and sweet Riolu pup, and my mother and father only wanted for their daughter to uphold the familial honor." "When I evolved, they explained to me the untold potentialthat lay untapped within me. I was a weak-minded girl then. I still am for accepting the cursed stone. They presented me the stone one day, and my body reacted to it in a most unusual way. I felt a small voice call out to me, begging for me to transform, that it could grant my deepest desires if I let it take control. That's where I descended into an abyss. I let the stone control me. I accepted the enormous power the stone possessed. My parents never told me it would speak." "To prove my loyalty and relinquish of control, the spirit of the stone murdered both of my parents in cold blood. I felt tears, yet cried none, because the spirit within the stone had corrupted me that first time. Oh the Land King was impressed by my actions. So impressed, he allowed me a space to fight in the arena. Gladiator style. I am saying I was no older than fifteen years old taking on hardened fighters triple my age and expotentially more experienced." "The stone was in control, and I loved the attention. The stone's spirit loved the bloodshed, and reveled in every body I slaughtered, every agonizing scream, and every mushy organ smashed as I ended the lives of some of the best fighters to ever set foot into the Land Kingdom." "However, One stormy night, the spirit of the stone slowly turned greedy over the course of so much gore Iallowed Iit's power output and control over me fester, and I slew an innocent Pokemon. He looked so peaceful in his house, all alone in the woodsñ looking after a small little red Pokemon. The adult and small red Pokemon looked nothing alikeñ and I granted no reprieve as the adult fell dead and the child grew scared. I had destroyed the house and this small shivering red Pokemon was alone. I couldn't do any favors, except for mind wipe the little one." Aria withdrew from her flashback. "The Land Kingdom found out and stripped me of my title shamefully, and sent me off to live alone. I am but a wandering spirit with little rhyme or reason. I am sorry for all the carnage I inflicted upon the families torn by me. I am sorry for the chaos of today. I cannot control it. The stone is in control of me. I however, am trying to fight it. It realizes it's grip on me isn't as strong as it used to be. It instills more power within to fight my resistance. But that's all I can say. I, Aria Wyatt, promised to defeat the spirit within."

Mael no. You need this. Everyone needs one of these. hell EVEN THE POPTART NEEDS THIS.

Y'know I realized while I was making Sora that there was an unintentional, unique advantage that having him a part of any empire could be beneficial. If you wanna know what I'm hinting at, look at Gen 5. There was certain items removed from Gen 6 existing in Gen 5 except for a Normal one. Even if Underdark didn't have Megas, the Excadrill is a huge advantage they have, because he can find rocks.

Sora (Excadrill) A low rumbling slowly rattled the earth in the area around the Underdark castle. Said rumbling gradually increased in volume, all the while the earth shook harder. Suddenly, the rock around the castle exploded, shocking several guards as an old weathered-looking mole that energetically brushed himself off of dirt. He coughed several times. "Man been a while since I've had a good run like that." A bag was strapped to his back. He hoisted the bag onto his back, a loud clinking sound of the bag's contents rattled with every step. "Wow. Napoleon's gonna be happy with my find." He dropped the bag and rubbed his shoulders. "Geez, my old body can't handle this as well as it used to." The Excadrill moved through the castle with the hefty bag. He quickly found the throne room, hoping to find the Empoleon in the room Ulkina (Latias) Ulkina waited, and waited, and waited some more. She grew anxious, then indignant, then frustrated. She grasped the green scale that Dravius had tossed to her some time ago, reminding her of what she needed to do. She flew around the castle reminding herself she needed to talk to the two dragons. Honestly either one of them would have sufficed, but Azauqyar was on the top of her list for now. A lot had been weighing in on her mind since the incident with Alucard. Eric hadn't talked to her recently, but she had ineffectually sought him out for counseling. "B-brother. I sure hope I'm making the correct decision. Because I wish you were here right now to help me." Aria (Lucario) "They tried dragon," the Lucario weakly croaked. "You can't remove it. You can't dislodge it from the gauntlet. You can't remove the gauntlet itself. It's been that way for as long as I have possessed the stone. It's making me strong, but I fear it wants bloodshed. Please help me." She clawed at the ground and her chest as the dragon watched her writhe in agony. "Y-you could...um....do one particular thing....but I beg of you please no. Y-you could take away my arm. But please no."

Looks like Underdark needs a Champ. Chim and Commander, I'll bail y'all out. Name: Sora Falchion Age: 54 Gender: Male Kingdom: Underdark Rank: Champion Pokemon: Excadrill Bio: Considered the greatest miner, digger, and excavator in the entire Underdark Empire. Having lived underground for the majority of his life, through thick and thin, Sora was able to develop his own unique form of sonar to compensate for his inadequate vision. When he developed his sonar, he became an instant success in thr mining tycoons of the Empire. Sora went under hire for several companies, only to be fired for his near-obsession with precious stones and rare metals. When the King of the Underdark foresaw the potential skill in this small-time miner, he struck a deal with the mole. Formal training and military service, in exchange for all the prettiest stones and free reign on mining for his own ventures. Sora is well-trained in martial arts adapted to his body style, as well as able to utilize his claws into various techniques taught to him by various masters over time. It is said that when the earth really quakes, it is most likely Sora, burrowing through the earth on another expedition to fuel his lust for gems. EDIT: @Wander/Yash. I'm also curious as to where my Lucario is, because it seems like she is nonexistent down there. Mention of Gengar but not Luc.

Like I noticed how of course there's a lot of wanderer, but some find themselves under the loyalty of a certain empire. My first two characters, Ulkina and Alucard, had no original intention of finding themselves in the Sky Kingdom, and my third, Aria Wyatt was made for the intention of a correlation with Alucard. But now they all are residing within. I might help the Underdark cause because those guys need a little love. I'll post a char for one prolly in a little while. Also I'll just say this: seven kingdoms I don't think is the best idea, because we covered pretty much everything and there's many webs as it is.

Commander if you want I can make a character number 4 to help alleviate the plot for Underdark and/or Permafrost if you want. One benefit and mistake I found at the same time was keeping all my characters in the Sky Kingdom, while making it simple, at the same time suffers when the people of that arc kinda start lagging a little, like right now.
