MAY QUEST CATCH-ALL

Who: Emporio and others fighting Gumsoos and Zangoose! ...And others he's questing with.
What: Emporio's Quest Catch-All!
When: Throughout May
Where: The Spire, the Forest, Etc...
Warnings: Pokemon Violence

[POP GOOS THE WEASEL]

The last time there was any trouble with swarming Pokemon, they came in from the sky. It was a situation that carried two problems- the first being that, back in March, Emporio wasn't nearly confident enough to think about holding his own in a battle, and the second being that with all of the pokemon being airborne, he didn't really have a good advantage to work with.

This time however, things are different. His confidence still isn't fantastic mind you, but a pile of weasel and mongoose pokemon swarming through the streets to cause havoc is a particularly good reason to step up to the plate, so with fists clenched and shaking Emporio pulls on his helmet and lines up with everyone else to plan for attack.

...It occurs to him then, of course, that. Well.

"...I think I still only have normal moves...is that going to be a problem against these guys..?" He feels like the mission request specified 'Normal' type...

[[OOC - To keep things simple, and because of how many are fighting off pokemon in their own teams, this will be a thread-jack friendly prompt! While initially Emporio's team might hold some kind of order, everyone is encouraged to break off into individual threads...Even if it means multiple with the same person, or something. The hope is that this prevents things from stalling on tag-order!]]

[SCATTERED BUG - CLOSED]

It's fairly strange, Emporio thinks, that this quest has appeared on the board again. The first time, he didn't pay it much mind. The second time was a bit odd, but he opted to let someone else handle it. The...third time, well.

"Well, if we're lucky, it won't take us too long to find this," Emporio is explaining to his team mates, a few of whom were with him when he spotted the form at the board. "...But it's kind of worrying that they've lost this pouch so many times..." Ah, well.

Helmet in place, he looks at the others. "I got a lot of information from Anasui about where we can go to get through this part of the forest. It'll cut down our time a lot, and it should make it easier to find what we're looking for! Is everyone else ready?"

[SOCIAL GATHERING - CLOSED (Wooden it be Nice + Clay Clamber) ]

For the rest of the month, there are smaller tasks to busy oneself with. Simple things, little matters that help to contribute to the general upkeep of the city over all. Wood, for those bridges that Emporio's pretty sure came a part because of Anasui's work- Emporio shows up at that one with familiar fellows indeed, ready to make good use of what he's learned as a Pokemon.

Clay on the other hand is a bit more interesting. When it comes to gathering clay, Emporio shows up to the task and finds himself staring at the underwater deposit they're meant to be gathering from. He slowly turns his head to look at the three with him. "...Will this really be okay..? It's salt water, right?"

He might not have thought this entirely through...

They really didn't think signing up to this quest through, huh... Ren was just eager to do as much as he could. That said, he's not weak to the water like Emporio and Firepaw, even if he's coming to find more and more that it's hell on his fur. Not to mention, the cold water is probably going to agitate his joints...

Well, they're here now, and he's going to do the best job he can.

"No worries. I'll swim with you. Don't overdo it-- there's other things to do than swimming." He turns to Emporio. "Akechi's right; sounds like processing the materials is probably your best bet. Akechi," he says, turning to his- whatever they are, now. "You think you're up for a dive?"

"I made sure to pack some in my satchel." His satchel, which will be wet if he doesn't remove it first.

Just give him a moment to do that, so he can set it aside a safe distance from the water.

Once that's done, he stretches his wings in preparation for the descent. Once that's done, he turns to Ren. "I should be able to manage the dive well enough. At the very least, I don't have a weakness to water."

Firepaw goes to sniff the water - it's saltwater, but more importantly it smells stagnant. Great, he's going to have to clean old, muddy, salty water out of his fur later.

"Are you going to be able to go underwater, though?" He glances at Akechi, "I thought birds were too light, and they'd just float..."

Either way, he's diving in first, grabbing one of the nets in his teeth and doggy-paddling into the middle of the pool before going down. He can't hold his breath well, so he's going to be coughing and snorting when he comes back up, but he's being powered by pure determination.

...Firepaw raises a fair point. A very fair point. He is not a waterfowl, nor other birds known for their ties to the sea.

He looks down at his talons, and then he looks to Ren. "If need be, I can hold onto Ren and grab additional clay with my beak."

It's not ideal, but he does need to take into account the limitations of his current body.
