Ryuusei stood before a large forest clearing, his green eyes were focused on the two creatures several feet away. The creature to his left was a nearly six foot tall, bipedal insect with metallic green skin and large pair of pincers for hands. Before...or rather below the bugman was a quadrapedal sheep, who barely came up to his waist..
The two starred one another up and down for what seemed like forever...then suddenly the sheep lunged forward in an effort to tackle the bug...but missed entirely. The sheep tried again but to no avail, then again, again and again! Frustration from having it's attack dodged five consecutive times was building as yellow sparks popped from the wool, then with a cry of "REEEEEP!!!" sent a burst of electricity towards the bugman, finally scoring a hit!
However, the bugman only took minimal damage, and chose this time to attack, before the sheep unleashed more electricity. He dashed in close and thrust his right pincer forewrd! The motion was so fast, the pincer resembled a bullet before smashing the sheep right in the face!
Ryuusei winced, having taken...several shots from that move, while many of his own punches barely put a dent in the bugman; hell, some parts of him were STILL sore from their match!
But, that wasn't it for the sheep, he managed to get back up, this made the teen grin. The sheep concentrated and formed a transparent yellow dome around him. The dome absorbed some of the force from a second punch, this time from the left pincer. However, it didn't absorb everything as the sheep was still forced back.
The bugman briefly glanced at Ryuusei who nodded, then looked back down at the sheep. He stood before the sheep, spread his legs and thrust his right arm into the air. He pictured the top of the dome as a stack of roofing tiles. Then, after exhaling, he swiftly brought his arm down in a chopping motion, slicing through the dome and continuing downward. It looked as though the bugman was going to club the sheep, but the pincer stopped inches from his forehead...then proceeded to pat it.
"Aaaaand, I think that's it for today." The two creatures turned to face the teen as he produced a pair of water bottles, tossing one to each. The bugman caught his in one pincer and used the other to pop off the cap. On the other...hand, the sheep caught his with his front paws...but just couldn't get the damn thing ovv; even trying to bite and twist, so the bugman popped it for him. The sheep let out a 'reep' of gratitude before downing the beverage.

Meanwhile, in the Gate of Space, Ashley:  and Gary:  were cuddling when Misty:  showed up surprising the couple, "Mist," Ashley said, then continued, "what are you doing here? I thought you would've stayed with Ryuusei." "Yeah," Gary said to his friend, "you two seem to make a nice couple." "Really Gary?" Misty asked as she looked at the couple, "he tried to scare me with a bug, then he massaged my shoulders, and then, out of the blue sky, he inadvertently proposed to me. I do have to admit, he is kind of cute, but we've only known each other for about four to six months at the most. I kind of want to date him for a bit before we tie the knot. I get it if you don't understand, you two have known each other your entire lives. I just want to have the perfect wedding, but before I get to that, we have to try dating for while first. You two have been dating for your whole lives pretty much, I'm jealous." "It sure feels like we've been dating our entire lives, but in reality we've only been dating for a short time," Ashley said then smiled, "although, seeing how Gary cares for me, I wouldn't mind taking that big step further down the line. With everything going on now with the Dark Kingdom, and I'm sure there will be more threats to come, it's not really the right time to get married." Gary smiles and nods in agreement as he speaks up, "we have a lot on our plate right now, so I can see why you were caught off guard with Ryuusei's sudden proposal out of the blue. Although, I sense that there is actually a real reason you're here besides just talking about how Ryuusei scared you with a bug and proposed to you out of the blue though, what is it?" Misty sighed as she shook her head and put on a Dynamax band as well as her Mega scrunchy, and started explaining somethings,"There have been a lot of outbreaks of Galarian energy coming out of the ground and forming pillars in the sky. I did some research on those pillars of light, they are coming from holes in the ground called Dynamax/Gigantamax Dens. From what I read about those, they have to be stopped with something called Raid Battles. So I was wondering if you two would be interested in going with Ryuusei and me on a Dyna/Gigantamax Adventure. I think it could be a lot of fun." Ashley and Gary pondered a bit and smiled, then nodded as Ashley spoke up, "as much as I've enjoyed cuddling with you Gare-Bear, i think a Dyna/Gigantamax Adventure would be a lot of fun. We should do that." Gary smiled, nodded, and put his Dynamax Band on along with Ashley, "sounds like a plan Ashy-Girl, let's lock onto Ryuusei's coordinates and meet him there." Ashley, Gary and Misty turn on the computer in the Gate of Space and search for the frequency for Ryuusei's communicator. They find it and lock onto pushing a button opening a Star-Shaped Portal at Ryuusei's location and step through it. This may or may not catch Ryuusei off guard as two girls and one guy walk out of Star-Shaped whole a little ways away from him. OOC: Ryuusei. |

With the training session between Mareep and Scizor finished, now Ryuusei was doing a bit of sparring with the bugman. So when the star-shaped portal opened in the clearing, he wasn't the least bit surprised; having seen it numerous times already. Who WAS surprised though, was the little sheep. This caused him to drop the half-finished water bottle. He scrambled to scoop the bottle up, but since the cap had been snipped off, most of the contents had already spilled causing his eyes to water...
...And sparks to fly from the wool...
Ryuusei was in the midst of dodging punches aimed at his face as he addressed the trio. "And you...ripped me...for MY entrances!" He quickly ducked to the right and hit Scizor's chin with an uppercut. Scizor's head reeled back, but otherwise remained in place. Meanwhile, the impact caused Ryuusei's knuckles to bleed. Scizor straightened his head and flicked away the small bit of red the teen had left on his chin with his pincer. Thee two faced each other and bowed their heads. Finally Ryuusei turned to the three.
"Whats up?"

"Gare-Bear and I got bored in the Gate of Space. We were trying to think of fun things to do and couldn't think of anything. Misty showed up and mentioned that a lot of Dynamax Dens have been releasing a lot of energy. She talked us into going on a Dynamax/Gignatamax Adventure. We also kind of wanted to hang out with some other people besides the Solaris Court as well. When Misty showed up, it presented us with the perfect opportunity to do so. I was wondering if you would like to accompany the three of us on this adventure. There are quite a few Dynamax/Gigantamax Dens all around this island. The only way to take those Giant Pokemon on is with a Raid Battle which requires four people. Would you be interested in joining us in this endeavor?"
"It could help you out with getting to know this dimension better Ryuusei," Gary said to him, then continued, "it can also help your Pokemon partners gain a lot of experience. I see you have a Mareep and Scizor with you. Are you interested in adding more to your team? I think it would be great if the four of us hung out together for a while."
Misty smiled and nodded, "I guess we can consider this our first official date Ryu. This could be a lot of fun. Are you in? Raid battles require Four Trainers with one Pokemon each taking the giant ones on. Only one of us is allowed to Dynamax or Gigantamax. However if you have a Pokemon with Mega Evolution Ability or Z-Move Ability and someone else is using Dyna/Gigantamax, it can be used. I also heard that there are various Crystal Caverns popping up with Terestalized Pokemon as well. That seems kind of odd, since I've only ever heard about Terestalizing in a far away region. I think it starts with a P. I can't help but wonder how that battle phenomenon made it here in Galar and can't help but wonder if it will show up in the other regions as well. What do you think about that Ryu? It could be a lot of fun.
OOC: Ryuusei.

He replied to Gary's first statement with a grin. "Hah! Says the dude who just came OUT of a Pocket Dimension." Then balled up Mareep before the sheep could unload on the two strangers who just spooked him. Scizor, meanwhile bowed his head to everyone individually, then disappeared up the tree he stood in front of.
"Sure, I can join you guys. It'd be good experience, before I hit up a Gym." He wanted to get a good grasp on battling before attempting that, and while not terribly fond of Ashley; this was her...well all three's area of expertise, and would appreciate any advice they could give. He initially had not intention of becoming a trainer; he knew Misty was passionate about Water Pokemon and was just going with her to look for some...
...Then Scizor showed up and was actually seeking HIM out, thinking 'this guy who can fight like us would the kind of trainer who can bring me to the League'. Mareep, on the other hand, did not seek him out and was just the first thing he pointed the steely bugman at, but that didn't make the sheep any less important to him.
So to answer Gary's question. "All depends what I come across." As he wasn't sure about actively looking for new ones, but if something caught his attention...like say, a Pokemon that looked like a human child but their body was all white and also possessed green hair, but in their case a bowl cut. Who was lurking in the bushes at the far side of the field, and would teleport away if someone looked in that direction.
If something like THAT crossed his path, he miiiiiight catch it.
But before we go..." He walked over to Misty, still grinning. "my hand hurts, can you kiss it and make it better?" And held up his bleeding knuckles. He was sooooo tempted to add in a 'Mommy' in a little kid voice, but somehow managed to resist.

He was sooooo tempted to add in a 'Mommy' in a little kid voice, but somehow managed to resist. Gary thought about the description and smiled as he spoke up, "There are no shortage of rare Pokemon here on the Isle of Armor, there are even some over on Crown Tundra. What say we go on a little adventure and see what we run across shall we?" Ashley smiled at her boyfriend's idea, "that sounds like a lot of fun. I say the four of us go on the search together. What do you think Mist?" Misty smiled and nodded, "I think it's a great idea. We don't get to hang out much anymore because of our various lives. The most time we spend together is to fight the enemy. I really think it would be nice to hang out and search for Pokemon for a change instead of fighting the bad guys. I'm in." The request from Ryuusei caught her off guard just like Scizor did. However, it was nowhere near lost on her. She just glared at Ryuusei and rolled her eyes, "I'm sorry, but I'm not your mother, however, I will patch it up when we get to a clearing. For now, this will stop the bleeding temporarily." Misty looked at Ryuusei's hand, pulled out some Antibiotic creme and rubbed it on his knuckles. She then pulled out one of her handkerchiefs and wrapped it around his knuckles. "That should stop the bleeding, don't go thinking it's some sort of romantic gesture from me to you." After Misty was finished wrapping Ryu's knuckles, she smiled with a slight tinge of blush on her cheeks and turned away. "Ash, Gary, let's get going before I change my mind," Misty said with a blush as she pointed the direction she wanted to go. OOC: Ryu |

Her initial response wasn't as much of a rise out of her as he hoped, but it was enough to get a rise out of him! The others might notice his pants thghtening in the front.
"Man, you're hot when you're mad." She might not have noticed, but his hand was already almost completely healed, just with some still-wet surface blood. However, he still appreciated the effort she put into treating it. "You really will make an awesome partner."
As she was finishing the treatment, he turned his attention back to Ashley and Gary. "Wait, thought you guys wanted to do some group battle, or is this other place on the way?"

Ashley nodded as she responded toward Ryu, "that was our initial intention. We spotted some pink and purple pillars of light here in this Forest. We actually did come here for some Raid Battles, but the best way to take down the Giant Pokemon is with Giant Pokemon of our own. Heck if we had to, we could use Mega Evolution or Z-Moves to take down the Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon. Anyway, shall we get going?"
"The first pillar we spotted is near the exit to the area outside of the forest near a cave that is a path to Potbottom Desert," Gary said as he pointed toward the exit to what he thinks is the Training Lowlands. Along the way the group could see several pillars of light within the Forest the four of them were in.
Misty smiled and nodded as she blushed as she glanced toward Ryu noticing some particular rise that doesn't escape her eyes, Misty grabbed Ryuusei's wrist and started dragging him toward one of the pillars of light followed closely by Ashley and Gary.

He rose an eyebrow. "Giant slayin'eh? Sounds like MY kind of detour.!"
His eyes followed to where Gary pointed and caught sight of the pillars, then another and yet another... He quickly switched his tone to a neutral one. "I take it this isn't normal? And you guys think somethi..."
...Then was quickly cut off as Misty grabbed and yanked...
...his arm!
"O-Oh no! She's gonna have her way with me! Help...help..." He said in mock terror, while doing nothing to resist.

It didn't take long for the Quartet to take care of all the Dynamax Dens. The four of them working together calmed that giant Pokemon throughout the Forest of Focus. Throughout the quest Misty and Ryuusei got closer and began dating. Ashley and Gary continued to stay close. However, for our four heroes, just hanging out and not doing much was getting boring. They wanted some action. It was time to focus on taking down the Dark Kingdom once and for all.
OOC: End of thread. I know there really wasn't very much action in this thread, actually none at all, but all these threads, the ones I'm going to Archive have been idle for a while.
