I Can't Believe It's Another Hisui Catchall
Who: Heather Mason and YOU!
Where: Hisui
When: July/throughout the event
Summary: A catch-all for Heather Mason, who can be encountered doing various things and saying various swearwords under the cut.
Rating: PG-13 at most
Log:
GENERAL INFO: During her time in Hisui, Heather will be a rather tatty bandit's outfit (she was late getting to the table with all the clothes), some cozy boots, and a blue cap. Heather's new starter is a Hisuian Growlithe who she has creatively named "Twojo" (her actual starter is a Growlithe named Cujo). Over the course of the event she will be catching a shiny Pikachu (!!) and a MYSTERY THIRD POKEMON I have not decided on yet.
She is very tired and not particularly happy about the possibility that she'll never get to see her other Pokemon ever again, but for the sake of other people who she's assuming probably feel the same way, she's at least trying not to be a complete vibe-ruiner over it.
PROMPT A: General Campground Presence
One of the few things that actually help get Heather's mind off of the less-than-ideal situation is keeping busy! When she's not actively exploring, she'll be fairly active around the campground, primarily in the form of keeping the firewood well-stocked and patrolling the camp's borders with Twojo (and a nice hefty stick, in case Twojo's barking doesn't do the trick) to keep high-leveled wild Pokemon from demolishing everything.
As a hot-water-enjoyer herself, she will also be readily volunteering Twojo's firey breath to help keep the showers nice and warm.
Maybe you're joining her on these ventures! Or maybe you desperately need to wash the stank off and there's nobody else around to heat the water for you. OR MAYBE you found her sacked out by the campfires after a long day of roughing it and are in the mood for some conversation.
PROMPT B: Training and Sparring
Being an otherworldly "old-timer" at this point, Heather is used to RARELY having to worry about encountering a problem that can't be at least adequately dealt with by whipping out a level 100 Pokemon.
Needless to say, suddenly being stuck in the untamed wilderness with NOTHING but a measley level-20 Pokemon? That's like... a baby. NAY, a zygote. And she doesn't like that, no SIR. By sunset on that very first day, Heather has thrown herself into vigorous training with Twojo, hoping to stack some levels onto this pup before they have the bad luck to encounter something they can't handle.
Which means she is looking for folks to engage in friendly training battles with! She can't be the only one who's in a hurry to toughen up their new friend in case things go awry.
On that note, she won't say no to friendly sparring, either. When they're all in one place like this, maybe it's a good opportunity to meet some other folks who are into that kind of thing. You never know when you might have to jump in and just punch a wild Pokemon in the face yourself.
PROMPT C: WILDCARD!
You got another idea? COOL, go for it! You can also ping me on Plurk for plotting if you'd like to brainstorm!

Oh, it definitely caused some damage, but less than that earlier Tackle. Even the contact between her limbs and Twojo's body got a greater reaction out of her.
A resisted type, then. Something in common with the more familiar sort of Sneasel, so is she also partially a Dark-type? Cecil needs more info.
"Time for a Rock Smash!"
no subject
Prishe's return attack has a much more noticeable effect.
Twojo lets out a loud, high-pitched yelp at the hit, skittering sideways away from it. From a Growlithe, there's no clearer expression of 'OWCH!' Immediately, Heather lifts her hands and does the universal signal for a Time-Out.
"Whup-- oh boy, that was a super-effective hit if I've ever seen one-- hey Twooj, you okay?"
The pooch gives her trainer a slightly pitiful look-- but gives herself a hearty shake and puffs up determinedly. >:( She can keep going!
no subject
Cecil should, perhaps, not be so surprised. Both of the types that resist Normal-type attacks are weak against Fighting, after all. Still, that yelp startles him, and he chooses to approach despite Twojo's very visible desire to keep going. Not that he can help much, currently magic-less as he is.
"A super-effective hit, certainly. But considering both Rock Smash's base strength and Twojo's reaction... Surely she's not lost the Fire-type for another that would cause a quadruple weakness? This may confirm that Prishe is indeed a Fighting-type."
The Pokémon in question is currently giving Twojo a... claws-up, of sorts. Sorry about the bad hit! But if you're okay, let's try more attacks and show off for the humans a little!
no subject
Heather's definitely no stranger to Pokemon using moves that don't match their type, but... it's not like these Pokemon are all stacked up with TM or egg moves (... right?). She's pretty sure the stocky little Growlithe wouldn't be so at-ease spitting embers if it didn't come naturally to her.
"... I didn't even think of that, though. You might be right."
Once the initial shock wears off, Twojo doesn't look too worse for the wear-- though Heather kneels to give her a pat and mutter, "If you need to tap out, just us know, 'kay?"
Then she backs off, back to the imaginary 'edge' of their battlefield.
"Okay, let's see if STAB can tell us anything else. Is it cool if she uses Ember, Cecil?"
Because, uh, they definitely don't want anybody to get burned, but if Twojo knows any rock moves yet, Heather... doesn't know about them.
