QUEST: Mad Moonlighter

[truthdecided]

Who: Akechi, Ren, Akari, Flowey
What: Middle Forest bear huntin'!
Where: Middle Forest
When: Early June.
Warnings: Possible mindfuckery and Pokémon violence.

They did their best to prepare, given the circumstances, but the transition from broad daylight to the darkness of the forest gives Akechi pause.

They know what to expect. They know about the fog, yet he can't shake the feeling of paranoia gnawing at him below the surface.

Shifting shadows, ominous sounds.

His eyes narrow in the haze, and he tries his best to beat some of it away with his wings, as he whips a Tailwind up around his teammates.

"Akari-san's flames should help us stay anchored in the fog, though we should stick to the shadows and, more importantly, stick together. Watch each other's backs and prepare for the worst."

[Akari took a deep breath and sent of a wall of smoke to try and help hide the teammates on the ground some more.]

[She hates feeling useless as she tries to think of something, she knows her fire attacks would do less than nothing ad in fact probably wear her out sooner because she knows she is low-leveled in comparison to the beast in front of them.]

[So, she tensed up a little, Akechi could probably tell Akari was going to try and go for an opening once she saw it, because even a little more damage is better than none.]

[truthdecided]

[Nodding, Akechi moves into position, beating his wings to strike the Ursaluna with an Air Slash to try and flinch it.

Perhaps that will give Akari the opening she needs, to say nothing of the others.]

[colorsflyinghigh]

[With Ursaluna flinched, Ren dashes away, giving Flowey space to rack up some Growths, as well as let the damage from the Leech Seeds build up. He's thankful for the smokescreen, using it to dance around Ursaluna as it tries to regain its bearings (heh).]

Catch me if you can! [He shouts, drawing further attention away from Flowey. Ursaluna roars in anger, but before it can move, Ren throws out a nasty-mean Sucker Punch. Not super effective, but a good distraction.

It doesn't save him from receiving another Slash in return, though thankfully, it's not as effective as the first one, Ursaluna too busy trying to clear the smoke and shake off the flinch to damage him too much. Still, that doesn't mean he doesn't feel it, and he hisses.

Hopefully Flowey's almost done charging up for a big attack... while they're doing well, every hit weakens them, and he's not sure how much longer they can keep this up, at this rate.]

[friendlyflower]

[The Growths have built up indeed, and Flowey has noticeably grown, though still easily dwarfed by Ursaluna. The Leech Seeds, along with the berry from earlier, have also restored his vitality.]

Hey, you big idiot! Remember me?

[Ursaluna turns with a quaking roar and hits Flowey with a Slash that nearly fells him this time... but not quite. Flowey retaliates with a full-power Mega Drain that makes the monster stumble back in pain-- likely not expecting it to hurt as much as it does. He presses the advantage and attacks again, delighting in the feeling of power.

The health drained from it and Leech Seed is enough to close the wound that the Slash opened, at least for now. He's not sure if he can take another. Playing with his life fast and loose like this... he feels so terribly alive.]

[arceusstansme]

[Akari took this chance to do quick attack, while it had chipped off, and she bounced off the Ursaluna as if it were a wall, and she was a baseball (but also that is probably how it looked anyways.]

[She landed on the ground with a roll and quick re-righting of herself.]

[truthdecided]

[Unfortunately, the Ursaluna sees an opportunity to attack. While Akechi readies another Air Slash to divert its attention, the bear ducks down to deliver a Lick.

Yes, just a Lick. Of all the mundane moves it could use.

No matter, though. He refuses to take chances, so he lobs another Blast Seed at the beast's back, then flutters higher into the air.]
