Total Eclipse of the Heart Swap

Postby AmbushCat » Sun Mar 29, 2015 4:49 pm

*The setting: the grassy fields that surround the Mungojerrie. The parking lot for the restaurant, described in more detail at this thread, can be seen in the near distance; business as usual there. It's a beautiful sunshine-y day. A light breeze ruffles the grass for a few moments.*

*The usual temporal-blasting fireball marks Amber's entrance. The neo-human has a full set of six Poké Balls on her belt, including one marked with a silver star sticker. After taking a look around (and not finding what she was looking for), she moves to sit down on a small rock.*

*mutters to herself* I'm going to have to ask the boys down in maintenance to fix the clocks... Whyte hasn't gotten here yet.

Before long, the Eevee-girl herself can be seen on the sidewalk by the road that opens up into the lot, staring intently at a phone with a map on its screen, and also holding said phone upside-down. It looks like she's about to miss the place entirely and keep walking by, and it's entirely possible this isn't the first time today.

*Feeling a bit playful, Amber softly chants something to herself. Taking a deep breath, she projects the sound of a car alarm across the fields. Notably, Whyte is the only one who can hear it; a few chattering school-kids heading out to their car don't react to it at all.*

"Bwuaeh!" Whyte visibly jumps, her hair and fur all on end, accidentally throws the phone up in the air. She lands first, to a sitting position, and then the phone lands on her head on her head. She reaches up and takes the bit of technology first before shaking her head a bit so her hair falls back into its usual place. After confirming that the phone doesn't seem to be damaged, she looks over in the direction of the noise and sees the humongous ship with a fence and barricades around it that make the Mungojerrie rather difficult to miss as a landmark. "Ooooh." She turns her head to see where Amber is and starts running in that direction, pocketing the phone as she does.

*Amber shuts up the "car alarm" and settles back, a smirk akin to that of Gengar's plastered on her face.*

When she reaches Amber and stops running, Whyte doesn't seem particularly out of breath. "Hey, sorry if I'm late. I uh, I have occasional flashes of...raw stupidity for some reason."

*waves it off* Don't worry about it; to be fair, I should've given you a more precise location.

"Okay, so I made a copy of the fights scheduled in the next few weeks or so, and crossed out the ones I can't get tickets to," says Whyte, reaching into a pocket and pulling out a folded piece of paper before handing it to Amber. "Also, did you make that loud car alarm sound? Because this is pretty close to where it came from, or my ears are off..."

*looks over the list, nodding* Thanks. And yeah, that was me; I wanted your attention, and I was feeling playful.

"Eh..well, it did get my attention and there's no permanent damage, I guess." Whyte puts a hand behind her head for a moment. "Sooo, uh..how do you teach psychic moves, anyway?"

*Amber chants something for a few seconds, causing a wooden stand and a chalkboard to materialize out of thin air. Assorted drawings of her Pokémon and Whyte herself are already scribbled on it.*

In the case of Swift and the others, I'd already known that they had some aptitude for Psychic. From there, it was a matter of spending time helping them exercise their minds, clear out all distractions, and focus with all of their hearts and souls until we started seeing progress.

In your case, it might be a bit more difficult. Being an Eevee-girl, the sort of moves you can learn are limited overall. Before I discuss what sort of routes we can take, I have to ask: Is there a set number of moves you're allowed to use/know while taking part in those competitions, or are you limited to the maximum of four regardless?

"I'm actually from a universe where pokemon can remember a lot more than four moves at once...a few people have been surprised by that over the years. But uh, the general P.F.L. rules only restrict certain strategies, and even then I've recently been put into the tier where they allow most of those. I'd have to agree to special rules for a match to have a limited set."

*gets that Gengar-like grin* That makes what I'm about to offer much easier. I did some research and found that your line is capable of learning Stored Power. In most cases you would've needed to inherit that move from your parents, but I had some help from Swift's mother in devising a decent workaround. Interested?

"Ooh, definitely!" says Whyte eagerly. "That one takes some setup to use well, should make for an interesting show, too..."

*smiles and nods* And if you don't know Work Up already, I'd be willing to teach that to you as well.
