POKEGIRLS… The legacy THE FORST LEAGUE Forsaken part 1 You can reach me with ideas at… blindmanx@hotmail.com In the forest there are many helpful things and many bad things there are plants to heal and vines that kill. The forest is a magical place for those how know its ways and a dangerous place for those who do not know its ways. The forest is a living thing, a beautiful thing and a deadly thing. And in this forest they are…hunters and prey … in this forest they are wolves. “What’s making that sound grandpa…?” Wind asked pulling the covers tighter around himself as if it would protect him against the sounds of the night. “Don’t be scared, its just the sound of a girl looking for a mate…. Is that so bad?” the old man sitting on the edge of the bed, asked. “You should never be afraid of the dark there is nothing there that can harm you. The noises that frighten you will pass and then you will find that everything that is hidden in the shadows will become clear to you.” “I was frightened too of the dark.” The old man said “When I was younger I had to learn the ways of our clan and from then on I lost my fear of the dark.” “Now from tomorrow I’ll start teaching you the ways of the forest and the dark.” The old man asked smiling down at the blue hared boy hiding under the covers. “Would you like that?’ Yes, but how long will it take to learn grand pa?” wind asked peeking from under the covers trying to keep the darkness away from him. “All your life my boy… hush now let me tell you a story.” The old man said turning his attention a way from the window, he turned and looking at boy. “The story begins with a young man…” -------------------------Nine years later------------------------… Wind stood at the foot of two neatly trimmed graves. “He was here.” Wind said to himself look down at his parents’ graves. “Yes Master, looks like the old coot was here a few days ago. But his scent is now lost to the wind.” Onesan said to her tamer. It was odd for most tamers to have pokegirls older than them but Wind got Onesan when he was fourteen and she was seventeen. It was out of luck and necessity Wind had captured her running wild in the woods and a later he tamer her making her his Alpha. Now it was two years later and the journey he had started alone he now had two partners Onesan, a lupine, Pitcha an Orgeress. Pitcha stood over in the shad of the near by willow tree talking to herself as usual. Pitcha was in her usual mood standing under the tree with her arms folded in-font of her, with a slight scowl on her face. “You’re looking around all day with this foolishness… we have a gig tonight.” Pitcha says looking annoyed. “You should listen to her.” A voice behind them spoke. Wind turned quickly drawing his wand from his back ad he aimed it at the voice light began to gather around the wand. “IGNIGHT.” Wing shouted as the wand burst forth a blade of energy. The shadowy figure jumped back as he saw the wand ignighted. “A little bit on edge to day are we.” The man in the shadow said with a hint of a laugh in his words “Show yourself.” Pitcha shouted as she ran over towards her master. “Your been too dramatic.” Onesan says walking up to the shadow. “Yes, I could never fool you///” the shadow said jumping back on top of a fallen tree landing with perfect balance. “I’m here to find the elder.” Wind seeing how it was entered darkness and light stance to show that he was neutral but on guard. “Why are you here…. Alzrius.” “Well… good to see you too.” Alzrius said from on top the off balance tree face it was a sign of his skill that he could jeep his balance (or a sign that Wind just wasn’t keeping in training.) Alzrius jumped down from the tree face and faced Wind with a relaxed stance. “I have some information to trade you tell me where he is and I’ll tell you something you need to know.” Alzrius says with a smile. “Do we have a deal.” “Look I don’t know where the ‘old man’ is but I don’t need anything from you… so take your information and go.” Wind says tightening his grip on his wand. “Well… I think you been a bit pig-headed… but have it your own way.” Alrius says jumping back into a near by tree and then disappearing leaving only his parting words. “Oh, you should look behind you.” As Alzrius spoke a yell from the bushes behind them made all three of them turn as they did a woman burst threw the bushes from the forset and stoped in front of them. ‘I walk threw the darkness,’ ‘My fear is of the night,’ ‘Shadows surrounding me,” My courage takes flight.’ My heart beat rising, The darkness freighting, I cannot stand the shame, The darkness is calling my name. You left me alone to cry, The heart in me almost dies, Why did you leave me? Why do you want me to feel pain? My heart beat rising, The darkness freighting, I cannot stand the shame, The darkness howling my name. ONI (earth/ground), the Hidden Monster Pokegirl Type: Very Near Human; Metamorph Element: Ground Frequency: Rare Diet: Human foods (in large quantities) Role: Shock troops, construction Libido: Low (High with a favored Tamer) Strong Vs: Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel Weak Vs: Ice, Plant, and Water Attacks: Hammer, Pummel, Yell, Glare, Tackle (BearHug, Mega-Punch, Resist, Roar, and Rage) Enhancements: Toughness, Enhanced Durability, Strength x 8, Healing Factor, Monster Out (Strength x20, Ignore Poison) Evolves: None Evolves From: Tomboy (Diamond Stone) When a Tomboy is exposed to a Diamond Stone, she evolves into an Oni. As an Oni, she doesn’t look that different from her pre-evolutionary form. She gains a little more muscles mass, and becomes more coordinated (and thus less clumsy), but she otherwise remains the same, able to pass herself off as a normal (if somewhat ill tempered) human girl. Like a Tomboy, an Oni is quick to anger, prudish, and nothing too special in the looks department. They are especially sensitive about their bust size, usually never more than a small B-cup, and are jealous (although they never admit it) of pokegirls who are sexier than them, which is almost all of them. What an Oni has that a Tomboy doesn’t is the Ability to Monster Out. This power allows her to become a huge beast, doubling in height and more than doubling her strength. There are no hard and fast rules about what an Oni’s Monstered Out form looks like, but while it isn’t hideous, it’s still rather repulsive. In this form, she is able to perform all of the attacks listed in parenthesis above. Her BearHug attack can crush the life from weaker opponents if she isn’t careful, and her Mega-Punch can easily turn stone walls into dust. Her Roar attack, which is a greater version of Yell, lowers her opponent’s attacking power by scaring them (and who wouldn’t be scared at the sight of a roaring monster headed for them?). An Oni’s most feared attack is Rage. Most Tamers never tell their Oni to use a Rage attack, since when they Rage they are virtually impossible to control, becoming engines of devastation. When Monstered Out, an Oni becomes much harder to affect with status ailments. She can use the Resist power to shrug off attacks that would hurt or incapacitate her normal form, and her metabolism skyrockets, letting her use the Ignore Poison enhancement, which makes it so that any poison she is hit with doesn’t take effect on her until she transforms back. An Oni can usually stay in her Monstered Out form as long as she needs to finish a battle. Unconsciousness (or death) makes her revert to her normal form. She can only Monster Out a few times per day before she can’t anymore, since it takes a lot of her energy to do that. Most Oni’s can only do it thrice per day. Feral Oni’s aren’t nearly as dangerous as most people think. They only use their Monster Out when seriously provoked when Feral, and can usually be captured before it comes to that. Stories of Feral Oni’s ravaging towns are virtually always just tall tales. Threshold girls almost never become an Oni directly. Those that do find themselves quickly shipped to a pokegirl ranch by a fearful family.
