Who: Guilmon, Emporio and Anasui ft. a Litwik
What: Play Nice
Where: South Forest
Warnings: Anasui being violent

Anasui hates the Southern Forest. He's not sure why he keeps ending up here and willingly coming back. He hates that it's an unsettling labyrinth that messes with your mind as much as it's filled with Ghost Pokemon. And even if he didn't have a type disadvantage, he'd probably still hate it here because the resident ghosts still messed with them, barely being affected by the Spiritomb's influence - 'Why do we even keep that thing around the Bay?'. To top it all of, the mission is stupid to Anasui as well. Go find recruits but we have no idea who you should recruit? What nonsense...

So the Espathra is in a pretty bad mood as he strolls behind both Emporio and Guilmon. He's leaving it to the duo to navigate, preferring to hang behind and watch for enemies. Should Emporio or Guilmon glance behind, Anasui will grunt at them, wordlessly asking what's wrong. Otherwise... he's quiet.

"We're just as weak to water as you are, asshole!"

Ah, there's the prison swearing in Emporio's veins.

And here's another thrown rock, for that matter. Fling strikes again, with far more force now that Anasui's jumped to take a blow like that. "And I'll say it again- No one started settling in YOUR 'turf'!"

"Wah! We're supposed to be getting them to join us... I don't think they'll do that if you keep yelling." But the Litwick isn't giving up, clearly. The Fling just makes it retaliate with another fiery attack that Guilmon once again intercepts...

Before giving it a Scary Face.

"Rrrr... stop being stubborn! There's three of us, and you're losing!"

"You're the assholes!" The Litwick yells back. The small Pokemon winces as the super-effective move strikes it again, followed by the intimidating Scary Face. "I won't tolerate weaklings in my territory!"

"Territory. Turf. Sounds like you're just making up excuses for a fight!" Anasui hisses. He pivots back to glare at the Litwick before he charges. The Litwick tries to dodge but Guilmon's Scary Face has gotten to the Pokemon, making it vulnerable With a twist of his beak, Anasui uses Drill Peck and then tosses the Litwick up into the air.

"And if you're looking for one, I'll be glad to give you one. Diver Down!" Anasui doesn't need to yell it but it's instinct for the natural-born Stand User. As he cries out, he shoots another Lumina Crash at the Litwick. The second hits its mark but not before the Litwick fires another Shadow Ball at Anasui which hits the bird critically in the chest.

Seething, Emporio just resists the urge to create a bone club.

At least long enough to watch Anasui take another Shadow Ball.

Then it's over.

"That's. IT!"

Emporio hasn't been using STABs. Fling might be super effective, but he himself isn't Dark type.

Ground is also super effective, however, and he absolutely is Ground Type.

"BONE RUSH!!"

He's about had it with this dude-

He's gonna beat the wax out of this candle-

So, on one hand, the Litwick is mean. On the other hand, Anasui and Emporio are very, very mad. Granted, Anasui just got very hurt by that Shadow Ball. So, does he intervene? Does he let Emporio use a really strong attack?

...

Guilmon has an idea.

So he starts... digging. Yes, he's digging, and he's digging under the Litwick, because it's so distracted by BIG BONE that it won't notice when Guilmon pops up from behind and grabs it.

"Gotcha!"

Between the bonk on the head and being grabbed by a much larger creature, it seems they've made... some headway? Pun not intended.

Huh. He hasn't seen the kid this violent before. Interesting. If Anasui was in a better state of mind, he would comment on it. However, he has to put up with the blast of ghostly energy, sapping his strength away. Anasui grits his teeth as he falls down to one knee.

"Gahhhh! That hurt!" Litwick cries as he's bonked. The ghost writhes in Guilmon's claws and puffs its flame indignantly but it's tired. After a double barrage of super effective moves and Anasui's assault, it can barely splutter another flame. "Geh... For a stubborn bunch, you're not half bad. You lot are strong."

"Hmph. Complements won't save you when you've lost. You surrendering?" Anasui groans as he pushes himself back onto his feet, ready to keep fighting despite the damage.

Literally the only thing stopping him from continuing right now is that he'd hit poor Guilmon, who is also weak to Ground attacks.

But he sure is seething. And still holding that bone.

There are no words. Too angy.

"Yeesh, I getcha! Ain't no way I stand a chance against all three of you."

Guilmon's cheeks puff up in a pout. "Good. Then you'll join us, right?"

"Yeah, yeah. Now can you let go, or what?"

Anasui glares at the Litwick.

"I don't know. Do we even want a little bastard to join us?" He asks.

"Ahhhh don't be like that! Look, look, look. I admit, ya'll are strong. And if joining the guild will make me stronger, then I do wanna join. Even if it is on a beach!" The Litwick looks up at Guilmon pleadingly. They've already figured out Guilmon is the one to try appeal to... "Honest! Please?"

"It's not on a beach. The beach is nearby," Anasui huffs. He looks at the other two before he clicks his tongue irritably.

"You guys decide. I don't care either way." The implication that Anasui will finish off the Litwick if they don't recruit it hangs ominously in the air.

...Alright well he doesn't want to kill the litwick.

Partially kill?

He feels like he remembers Anasui saying something about how you can actually kill a Ghost Pokemon, and he didn't like the idea of going the extra mile. Still-

He sighs.

"Let's just bring him to town..." Emporio grumbles, simply wanting this over now.
