it's for research, really! totally not an excuse to spam the RNG

[faithfulassist]

[There is Lucas. There is a rock. There is a Clefairy.]

Use Metronome!

[The pokémon waves her arms, and then starts trying to pull energy from the rock. Mega Drain. It doesn’t work too well, so the normal-type turns back to Lucas with a shake of the head.]

That’s fine. Metronome!

[Clefairy leaps for the rock, striking it with a Headbutt, then

[ hay lucas hay

your sister figure person is watching this with a smile. ]

[faithfulassist]

[Lucas turns-oh! It's the older Dawn.]

Hi!

Uh, how long were you standing there?

[Behind him, Clefairy jabs the rock with a Horn Attack.]

[lunardancing]

Not that long.

[ Just long enough to see what he was up to. She shifts the egg in the arms around. ]

[faithfulassist]

Well...I haven't been doing this too long! But I've gotten some really interesting results so far-I've never even some of these moves before. I think they might originate from other regions.

[FOR SCIENCE IT'S ALL FOR SCIENCE OF COURSE]

[oneloss]

Metronome is cool, huh?

[faithfulassist]

Yeah! I've never even seen some of the moves she's using.

[Clefairy suddenly tucks her arms in close and then charges at the rock at top speed-Brave Bird. She staggers away, looking dizzy.]

[oneloss]

The best is if they pull off a successful sheer cold attack!

[faithfulassist]

Sheer Cold? I haven't heard of it. What does it do?

Dun dun dun

[pansysaurus]

...You and that Clefairy again.

[faithfulassist]

...Oh. It's you.

[Clefairy rushes for the rock to strike it with a Bone Club attack, then looks back to Lucas, waiting for another command.]

[pansysaurus]

That's right.

[Your malice towards him feels kinda good, man. He has a Gligar by his side today.]

[faithfulassist]

Well, what do you want?

[Eying that Gligar nervously. So is Clefairy, who decided to trot back over to Lucas's side after noticing that mean boy from before was back.]

[fuelingfear]

[Don't mind this Snivy walking right up to you, Lucas. He stands there watching the Clefairy for a moment before turning to Lucas and stating in a clearly understandable voice (that for some reason has a British accent);]

Metronome, hmm? An interesting move, if I do say so myself. I personally do not know it... but that doesn't mean I can't use it.

[Now watch as the amazing Snivy unleashes the almighty powerful attack-- Splash.]

Hmm, that didn't quite go as planned. Anyway, it is a pleasure to meet you. You may call me Bane. And you are?

(( Bane the Snivy belongs to derp!Archer; he was hatched in Silent Hills which is why he's so... weird. ))

[faithfulassist]

...You just talked.

[Behind them, Clefairy takes no notice of the newcomer, launching a String Shot at the rock to no effect.]

[fuelingfear]

Yes, I did. [Have an unamused look.] I asked you what your name was. It's generally accepted to offer an answer to one's question, is it not?

['Sup Clefairy, you need to start using better moves liiiiike...]

[And then there is a Snivy leaping over the Clefairy to Dragon Tail that rock. It's a pretty sturdy rock though. And it's not weak against Dragon-types.]

[faithfulassist]

It's Lucas, but-

[WAIT NO don't run away A TALKING POKEMON

...P-Please don't break the rock he was using it for his own amusement research]

[scytherfirst]

What are you doing? [OUR INTEREST IS PIQUED...!]

[faithfulassist]

[Oh, hello there. Lucas turns to greet Bugsy, while Clefairy tosses a Present at the rock-it lands with a modest explosion.]

Hi! This is Metronome. I'm, uh, trying to record some attacks I haven't seen before.

[scytherfirst]

I see... [ooh, that's... really neat. An explosion...!]

I haven't had much experience with Metronome-- mind if I watch too? [we've seen Whitney's Clefairy use it sometimes, but other than that...]

[faithfulassist]

...You really want to? Well, alright! [Turning back to Clefairy-] Metronome again!

[Clefairy starts to...sing?...at the rock. It actually seems to be doing some damage-Round attack.]
