☆37☆ [Video/Action for Ilex Forest]

[tearsofademon]

Okay, you know something?

[A certain lazy mage is grumpily sitting up in a tent right now, shivering a little and positively drenched. There's a Clefairy leaning up against his side, wrapped in a towel. The rain batters hard against the outside of the tent, though perhaps not as hard as it could - trees do tend to give a little bit of extra shelter against the wind and rain. Not much, mind, but a little.]

There are Pokémon that can control the weather, right? I'm just thinking, maybe a bunch of them caused this storm because they got so pissed off at all the crap in the cities. It's possible, right? I mean, well, I guess it could just be a coincidence, too, but...

...Haa, well, either way, it's just my luck that we'd get a bothersome storm every time I go through this forest, isn't it. This really sucks.

*hey at least this time you HAVE a tent to stay in...*

We should just be glad we weren't someplace that offered less shelter when this storm started.

[Hey, that bedsheet served me well.

...It's nothing but scattered ashes now, for reasons, but it served me well.]

We could have had better shelter if you'd listened to Jehra and Dusk, you know.

If this is just a normal storm, we'd have run into foul weather while traveling sooner or later, you know.

And if it's not, as you suggested, then isn't it even more imperative to get to the bottom of things?

Action

[tearsofademon]

Kind of hard to get to the bottom of things if a tree falls on us or something, you know.

Re: Action

[dreamsofahero]

And if we'd stayed in Azalea, for all we know the storm would have been strong enough to make the inn collapse.

Besides, we may as well finish what we started.

Maybe you should stop going through the forest. Then thisss might stop happening!

[Audio]

[tearsofademon]

[Oh hey, it's you.]

Right, because somehow my setting foot in this forest magically caused it to start storming.

[Audio]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

...maybe. There's a shrine in there isn't it?

[It's been a while, so he could be wrong. But he's pretty sure Team Rocket sent someone to investigate that at some point.]

Maybe you've angered whatever deity the shrine is for.

[He really doesn't buy any of this, but hey, he already tried being a decent person today and he has to make up for it somehow.]

[Audio]

[tearsofademon]

I haven't done anything to anger anybody.

[forcefateshand]

These creatures can go far enough as to control the weather?

[Yeah, guess what he thought was important out of all that.]

Which species can do that?

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Ah... anything that can learn Rain Dance, Sunny Day, or Hail, I'm pretty sure. Though, usually it only affects a small area, as far as I know, so it'd have to be either a Pokémon that's really powerful or a bunch of them working together, in order to make a storm this big...

[Video]

[forcefateshand]

Can you think of examples of any Pokemon powerful enough to cause effects like this on its own?

[Because he wants that, oh yes he does.]

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

None that I've ever met, myself. There are a few legends I read back in Ecruteak that talked about a few that might be able to, but...

[Video]

[justicereigns]

That sounds likely to me. Maybe they figured it would clean things up.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Hell of a way to clean things up, if that's the case.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

Agreed, but I doubt it was capable of just asking humans what was going on and a better way to make it stop.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Even if it could, it might just be too impatient and annoyed to try a different way, I guess.

[legendarybeasts]

[Tak-tak-tak; the sound of rushing over storming grass.

Something is coming, terribly powerful, a presence that making the trees shake and the rain shift away.]

action;

[tearsofademon]

[Jehra, at least, is immediately up. Though there isn't much room in the tent, he stands protectively in what room he's got, growling softly.

Not that Ryner and Rose don't feel it, of course.]

...Sion...

Re: action;

[dreamsofahero]

*nods; Dusk is also on her feet, watching intently*

...we should go see what it is. Besides, if need be, we'd have more room to maneuver and see what's coming from outside...

action;

[tearsofademon]

Can't say I can think of a better plan.

["Sol." Jehra doesn't sound pleased, but he can't deny the logic in not being sitting ducks.]

[ Pokémon causing the storm? That's something Hikaru hadn't thought of and she doubts the Pokémon are happy about what's been going on in the cities. The ones she's seen in the cities haven't been particularly happy either, so she can only imagine how the ones in the wilds are feeling. ]

Do you really think the Pokémon could be causing the storm? They can really control the weather like this?

[ She pauses, frowning as she looks at the man and his Clefairy moer closely now. She had before, but it's really hitting her just how bad off they are now. ]

Is there anything I can do to help?

[video]

[tearsofademon]

[Should we assume this happens before or after the above thread with Raikou?]

Some of them can. Most wouldn't be able to do it to this extent, though...

Ahh, we'll be fine though, I think. Wouldn't be the first time roughing it in bad weather.

[video]

[will_to_burn]

[ Let's roll with before, unless you'd like to roll with after? I'm good with either! ]

I didn't know that. The Pokédex says some Pokémon can do some really amazing things, though, so maybe a group is behind the storm.

[ She nods solemnly. ]

I hope so. It looks really bad out there and I don't want to see anyone else get hurt.

[video]

[tearsofademon]

[Before works! ^^]

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me. All the crap in the cities could've easily pissed a bunch of them off.
