Sorry, I've been doing stuff today. I think, at least :p

you masterful writer, that was an incredible entry.
I loved seeing the zest in June, that hot flame burning in her core. She made some strong arguments too.
I absolutely loved the way you made it so that Salem's touch managed to make her momentarily forget about her need to explode. I wanted his skills to be good, but you've delivered more than I dared hope for. Awesome, and thanks so much.

The interaction between Gerald and Cassie was very good as well. I liked reading Gerald's observations of her mental state. Oh and I apologize for Ajax pushing Gerald earlier :p
-

Btw, how tall is June? Sources say the avarage Delphox is about 150cm, which would make her only slightly shorter than Lin and Cassie and almost a foot shorter than Salem.
I'm glad my post came out good! I thought it might've been a bit underwhelming on Gerald's side, but apparently not! Thanks for the praise :D

As for June's size, she a bit taller than the average Delphox. Five foot. Still puts her below Cassie and Lin though.

My next post will be up soon. Can't promise tonight, but maybe I'll get lucky. It definitely will be interesting, and I actually have to ask Astral about something that might be relevant soon...
 
Just saying, I've changed Floyd's team. It needed a Healer. (Lilligant)

Holy crap, it's the Nidoking that tried to eat Akira! :o
Yeah, I seem to be developing a habit of adopting all the poor abandoned deadly pokemon that were never killed xD

I figured since we found Dr. Nevashi, maybe that Nidoking wasn't terribly far away. Could also indicate they're going the right direction to find Shade and Cassie's camp, not that they would know.

Awesome! When you get there, you can probably find the storage unit Cassie built to store Maverik's cooked meat in, and the innards stash by the hut where Cassie's boots would also be.

For any indication of Maverik and Alex being there, I'd say there would still be some Pidgeot feathers scattered around, and in the innards stash, you could probably find a claw or beak, as well as a finger or two from Alex. Shreds of his clothes would probably still be laying around as well.

Have fun! ;)
 
Alright, it's taken me a long time before I finally settled on which Martial Arts Style would most closely resemble the forms that I imagined Salem to be trained in. There are a ton of Arts out there and all have their cool points and focus.

What I wanted for the inhabitant of Regalo Del'Mar was a defensive art that focused on redirecting the flow of an opponent, into a throw, and then followed by a lock to remove the need for further fighting. Flowing motions were very important because I wanted them to be inspired by the push and pull of ocean waves. It's not a perfect fit, but the closest I got was the Korean Martial Art Hapkido. Here's an example.

Those boots damn well better be gucci.

That's awesome! I actually have that same flowing aspect as a character trait of my OC Diana. She's a dancer who pretty much only catches pokemon that can move as smoothly as she can. I might have to steal this fighting style from you to build her character xD


'Who do you think you are to judge Gerald? Your the one who tried to kill him if he didn't spill the information. And besides, I hold on to this ball so it doesn't end up in the clutches of some annoying cat. Plus, I could leave any time I want. But I don't. Because Gerald isn't just my master. He isn't even my trainer. He is family. My other teammates are family too. Of all people, you should know that. Just because we are in Pokeballs, doesn't mean we can't be family.'

She extended a claw, judgmentally pointing at the huntress.

'And it's ironic. Turns out, we need your survival skills, and you need my flame. Unless you plan on roasting tea over a monkey. And, considering no one belonging to a Pokeball has come down with the symptoms your Sceptile has experienced...We're likely immune. So,how do you like that, Ms. Lin? How's that taste?'

Oh my gosh...I found actual footage of June's rebuttal.

 
On a side note I am trying to figure out how much anime jank I can pull with Amara concerning Vibrations, mathematics and distance calculation. The game is supposed to have a bit of an anime feel but I don't want to completely break peoples suspension of belief.

You know, there's a plan for a follow up Campaign in the making where Salem goes to Unova. You could have Diana meet Salem and he could teach her in canon. If you dare putting your female character in front of this flowing man of course. She might want to catch him :p)

Also, I don't know what your character is like but there is only one type of dance on Regalo Del'Mar, and it's strictly female only. Usually performed at the Amnis Colo ritual. It looks something like this:


If you remember from Salem's flashbacks, he's always been interested, on an almost hypnotic level, in the motions of these dances. His brothers thought he was just ogling the girls, but it was the flow of the dance that captivated him. If Diana dances anything like that Salem's going to be very interested in her. ;)

Get some inspiration from Rain Man. You're old enough to know what I mean. ;)

So, posted, feels a little meh but let me know if it reads okay, I didnt want to take too much liberty with what the pokemon would do or if it would get hit by my(Orions) attack or not so I just left off with him swinging and will leave it up to astral as to whether or not he connects anything haha
