A Wild Trainer Appears!

Who: Kotoha & Various
Where: All over!
Summary: Kotoha's out and about, riding all around the city
Warnings: Kotoha is ridiculous.

[Virgo Ward] OPEN
Kotoha's pretty well settled in by now, so it's time to go shopping! She's wandering around the shops of Virgo Ward, Arthur in tow to act as a pack mule. In Kotoha's token nod to staying low-profile, the jackal-like Pokemon is wearing a pair of black sunglasses.

Currently, she's in Junes, leafing through a copy of the first Junes Invasion book and giggling.

[Cancer Ward] OPEN
A remnant of Atomic Robo's memories has stuck with Kotoha, and she's interested in exploring the possibilities - which is why she came to Cancer Ward. Currently, she's in a small hobby shop, looking over a selection of airsoft guns while Arthur waits outside, still wearing his sunglasses and loaded down with bags. The Lucario has his arms crossed underneath his chest spike and is leaning against the outside wall of the shop, visibly bored with the entire process of waiting.

[Capricorn Ward] OPEN
Lunchtime sees Kotoha in the Capricorn Plains, enjoying a pre-packaged sandwich and bottle of iced tea she picked up while Solar Logos and Tesla fly overhead in a mock dogfight, creating a brilliant light show - the Volcarona releasing torrents of flame which the Magnezone deflects with shining lasers and jolts of electricity.

[Leo Ward] CLOSED TO

terminally_clever
It's a few minutes before the 13th Hour, and Kotoha is waiting in front of the JP's Headquarters with what appears to be a sea lion of some kind, one hand resting on the creature's shoulders.

[Libra Ward] CLOSED TO

electricyousei (forward-dated to June 2)
Kotoha spent quite a while picking out the perfect outfit for her date - not as casual as her normal combination of culottes and black stockings, but not super formal either. She's currently smoothing out the plaid skirt and fussing with the hair ribbons while waiting for Ruri to show up at the small park they agreed to meet in.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[The combined strength of those two attacks at once is almost enough to send the demon back to whatever hellish dimension it crawled out of in the first place. One more hit should do it. In the meantime, it lashes out against Samurott with a mighty series of blows from Deathbound, hoping to at least take its strongest opponent down with it.]

I'm going to try something new.

[Fumi, still taking point with her analysis Persona, closes her eyes and concentrates for a moment. Her Persona glows briefly, and there is now a floating translucent screen and keyboard setup in front of Fumi. Her fingers fly like lightning across the keys as a strange light envelops the Cerberus, and then the display vanishes once again.]

Take out Tesla and use lightning. It should work now, and should be plenty to finish it off. I'll have Tao Tie take care of Tomoe in a moment.

Kotoha draws out Tesla's Pokeball and releases the Magnezone. As her three pokemon fall into formation, she takes a deep breath to steady herself and proceeds to direct them.

"Aqua Jet! Acrobatics! Thunderbolt!"

Tomoe charges forward once again on a column of roaring water, smashing into the Cerberus and roughly shoving it towards Scorpina, who puts on a blurring burst of speed and knocks the demon into the air. Tesla's main eye locks on to the lion-like demon and flashes red as it discharges a bolt of lightning from its main antenna.

[The combination of attacks is plenty to take down the Cerberus, with the Thunderbolt attack providing the coup de grace. Fumi dismisses Vapula and smiles, walking up to Kotoha as Tao Tie drops another Diarahan on her Samurott.]

Excellent. Exactly as planned. It seems my Persona picked up a rather useful skill.

Kotoha surveys the three pokemon that are currently out and recalls both Tomoe and Scorpina before looking over at Fumi.

"Oh? What's that?"

Rooting through her bag once again, Kotoha draws out a mottled green ball and uses to release a massive, six-winged moth in a burst of darkness.

Hacking.

[Fumi smiles.]

Specifically, it appears to be able to manipulate innate elemental affinities. I was able to downgrade a lightning-absorbing affinity to one that merely reduces the damage from lightning attacks.

Kotoha smiles back and nods in appreciation.

"Not bad!"

She pauses for a second as something occurs to her.

"You know, I just thought of something. If I ever get the opportunity, I'd love to see how you'd train a Porygon."

Another Pokemon, I take it. Why that one in particular?

"Porygon was the first man-made Pokemon - it's essentially a computer program that has a material body."

A shrug as she stretches a little.

"They've been around for...like, seventeen years now, I think?"

Interesting. I'd like to see that.

Kotoha nods in agreement.

"A friend showed me hers once - they're actually pretty strong!"

Unfortunate that you don't have access to your entire store of Pokemon here.

A shrug.

"I have over three hundred and eighty of them, last I checked. The butterfly guy probably thought it'd be overkill."

That's a very impressive number. There aren't even that many demons where I come from.

"Really? Huh."

Kotoha thinks that over for a bit.

"Of course, that's just what I personally have, and I know there's a lot more species that I haven't recorded."

That's admirable dedication.

A smile and a shrug.

"Well, you know what they say - it doesn't feel like work if you enjoy it!"

Too true.

Kotoha stretches again and leans against the moth.

"I think my favorite part is the training, you know? There's so many variables to keep track of, but then when everything clicks and they start to hit their stride it's just so much fun to watch."

Hm. That's a little different from how I used demons at home, so I don't really know the feeling.

Kotoha tilts her head to one side, setting her ponytails swaying.

"Different how?"

Demons of a certain level will eventually plateau in power. The most efficient way to get more potential out of them is to fuse two of them together to create a new demon with some of the abilities of each one. So I've never spent much time training any individual demon - no longer than strictly necessary, at least.

Kotoha's eyes widen slightly.

"Fusion? Hold on a second..."

With that, she reaches into her bag and starts rummaging through it, eventually drawing out a pair of strange stakes.

"These are the DNA Splicers. They're used to fuse together two specific pokemon into one being."

[Fumi looks closely at the stakes, clearly very interested in this.]

And this works on every type of Pokemon?

Kotoha shakes her head.

"No - like I said, two extremely specific pokemon. Um."

Kotoha adjusts her visor a little as she thinks before launching into an explanation.

"Okay, so. My home country, Unova, was founded by two brothers. They used the power of a legendary pokemon - a titanic dragon that controlled fire, ice, and lightning. Eventually, they turned against each other, and the dragon split into two different pokemon, one that controlled lightning, and the other that controlled fire. Left behind was the husk of the original dragon, that still had the power to control ice."

Kotoha pauses briefly to stare off into the middle distance.

"I'm...kind of the person who possesses both the dragon of lightning, Zekrom, and the dragon of ice, Kyurem. These DNA Splicers let me combine Zekrom and Kyurem back into one being, or divide them again."

And where exactly did you get such a device? It seems strange that something with the specific purpose of combining and separating the DNA of two beings that are basically gods would exist in the first place.
