(open log) First mix
Who: Aelita, anyone!
What: New Pokemon that is also learning how to be alive, do chores and commit violence
When: April
Where: The city (Cheri berry guild, the training rooms, beach)
Warnings: Heights? Possible talk of child endangerment and everything about Aelita's background sounds Unfortunate without context.
Cheri Berry Guild
Berry collection
[Having to collect food was one of the many new things to her. Though from what she'd learnt from the others, humans didn't collect food. Her friends had mentioned going to a canteen but Aelita was sure that wasn't as involved as this.
Because she had a small woven basket tied to her back and was nimbly climbed up the thinner branches. Filling it with a few berries, then scurrying back to place them into a larger basket for someone else to collect.
The height didn't bother her. She regularly had to navigate worse when doing her patrols.
What did make her pause was the big berry. Something that had become apparent very quickly was that... She was small, very small. And this berry was more than two inches larger than her. It wouldn't fit in her basket and even if it did, she wasn't sure how much it'd weigh.
Time to return to platforms. Then she darted to the first Pokemon she saw.]
Hello there. Are you busy? I need help carrying something.
Leaving present
[For the last year, Aelita hadn't need to sleep. She'd spent her time looking for Xana activity, helping Jeremie on the materialisation program, talking to Jeremie, browsing the internet when Jeremie was sleeping.
So the first time she fell asleep was... Probably a bit more literal than it should have been.
But she knew better now! She could recognise when she was sleepy and where to go. She'd been given a pile of leaves. A majority of those leaves remained as a bed. The rest? They'd gotten tangled in her curly fur. Though some did fall out when she moved suddenly. Or when the scruffy creature did a full body shake.]
Quest related
Not a minior ma-
[She just wanted to help. Aelita hadn't liked watching the Minior when they were...in pain? She wasn't sure. But she'd not had the skills to help with their healing process.
What she could help with, was making these catapults. Her little paws were great for tying knots, climbing up and placing delicate parts of the mechanism. She was light enough to avoid brea-
With an actual squeak and she was gone.
Good news! The catapult works. Bad news, the rodent is airborne.]

(ง •̀_•́)ง No longer an escort quest (debatable)
[Aelita didn't fight. She had powers on Lyoko, but those required life points to use and they weren't practical in the same way a sword was. There was a difference between an actual weapon and manipulating the terrain so foes would take themselves out.
Since arriving she'd had a few bursts of power. Shooting off uncontrolled sparks of electricity (her first sneeze). No one had gotten hurt but it was probably better to learn what she could do.
That was how she found herself in the training rooms of the Spire... Now what? She awkwardly waited by the sidelines until another Pokemon seemed to be done, then waddled over with wave.]
Excuse me. Um... How do you know what to do?
Coastal charms
Can you really touch it without being destroyed here?
[She'd been sat in the sand for a while, just watching as the waves ebbed and flowed. Though she never got near. When it seemed like the tide was changing, she'd get up and retreat further up the beach and away from the water.
Aelita hadn't even looked at the approaching Pokemon. She'd just spoken without moving her gaze from the water. Those who'd met her before might notice that she was a lot more subdued. She wasn't looking at everything, marvelling at the feel of the sand...just listening and observing the ocean.]
It's beautiful...
[Was this what her friends had wanted her to see?]

no subject
Well, it's better than nothing, I guess... Next step: try actually aiming those sparks at something. [She holds her shadowy arms out at her sides.] Like me, for example.
no subject
I don't know how. I can make them bigger and move to things I touch but...
[She couldn't 'throw' them]
no subject
Then come at me. Just charge with all you've got!
no subject
She couldn't charge as much either.
At the suggestion, Aelita tilted her head. Wasn't that dangerous? But they knew more than she did about this.
But she took a few steps back, her cheeks giving a spark. Then she's charging and flinging herself at Shoka. Nuzzle, one of the few months she knew AKA the tackle-hug.]
no subject
Hmm, that might've been an attack... Now just don't miss this time?
no subject
Landing it.
Cause Aelita had been excepting to smack into something. Maybe cling to Shoka for a bit while letting off sparks. Instead she sailed through the air to plop to the ground on her belly.
Give...give her a second. She might have winded herself with that one.
But she turned around, crawling on all fours still.]
Right! [She was less likely to miss if she ran quicker, wasn't she? ]
no subject
The next time Aelita charges at her, she's faster than Shoka's lazy attempt at a dodge; the Nuzzle connects with Shoka's side, sending electricity coursing through her disguise. Something under the fabric snaps; her false cat head flops over backward, hanging limply from its now broken neck.
Thanks to her ability, Shoka doesn't feel any pain... but her movements feel suddenly sluggish, with static still clinging to the fabric. It seems that her Disguise negated the damage, but she's still been paralyzed (as Emmet and Ingo would put it).
That's a new one. What move even was that?]
Huh—not bad. Now think fast!
[Brushing off her surprise (and the paralysis), she lashes out an arm, aiming a lazy Scratch at Aelita.]
no subject
Guess that answers which eyes were the real ones.
She was so distracted by this that she barely had time to dodge. There was an attempt at diving to the floor to avoid the Scratch but it still caught her arm.
Instead of attacking again, she went for bolting. Just going to keep dodging around the arena. This was what she was used to, dodging and being unable to fight.]
no subject
Uh—where are you going? [Then she gives chase, gliding swiftly over the floor. The few other Pokémon in the training room have to lurch backward, yelping in alarm, to avoid the pair. Aelita doesn't get far; another Shadow Sneak, and Shoka is suddenly right in front of her again, claws out, looming menacingly...] What happened to wanting to defend yourself—?
[... And suddenly she freezes in place, cringing as the paralysis from Aelita's earlier Nuzzle gets the better of her.]
Ugh, wha—?
[She can't move—an open target.]
no subject
Isn't this a little ex-['excessive' but she's screaming when Shoka appears out the ground. Back-pedalling as small sparks fizzled from her cheeks.
Then Shoka froze. Those scary claw limbs stopping-
And Aelita charges in, just bodily flinging herself head first into Shoka. Because clearly, that'll work on a ghost-type.]
