Dave let out a barking laugh. "Hold on, by deposing gods you mean what?" Honestly described that way it almost made him like the guy, but he suspected it was a lot worse than it sounded. So, at least if he was to be believed, and Starr seemed to think so, someone they knew was dead and replaced...

What. "Jesus. Him? Are you fucking serious?" Just when he thought Brisa had the worst father on the team. What the fuck. "And what, he's an aspiring multidimensional emperor in your world too? What's this about somebody being replaced? He say that before we came in?" They just casually had...

Dave raised an eyebrow as he sipped his beer. "Okay, hold on a second. Why are you talking like you fucking know the guy? And what's that about Silver?" Silver was the... the Cosmog, right? The one he'd vaguely heard evolved?

"Yeah, you don't say," Dave said, glancing at Starr. "Is it me or did you handle that like way too much of a pro? Feel like there's a story here." He opened the fridge and took a couple of beers. They could just grab stuff here, right? All on the God Squad's tab? Sure. How did those guys even...

Dave squinted at him. This was some video game shit. A goddamn fetch quest for the missing piece of him. What were the odds there was something real he thought they could theoretically get for him versus the odds that he was hoping to send them on a snipe hunt for his own amusement? He wasn't...

Dave narrowed his eyes at Giovanni. It flew into his head that the nerves seemed almost disconnected from the guy's demeanor, as if... was Giovanni simply remote-controlling this body, possessing a regular old Mewtwo (God, regular old Mewtwo, what a phrase) who was sort of on board but not...

Dave could tell by his nose that Starr was acting, wasn't feeling the fear and apprehension telegraphed precisely in her body language, but if not it could've fooled him. Starr was way too practiced at this. What the hell. He watched her warily, half resisting the temptation to cut in, half too...

Dave barked a chuckle. "Yeah, nice try, dumbass." He glanced back at Brisa, can you believe this shit, only to find her glaring at him. What was her problem? No way did she actually-- ...Oh. No. She was thinking of Spirit's Edge, wasn't she. He clenched his jaw, bit back the words he wanted to...

Brisa's text had been terse and urgent, which was a definite improvement over the way she'd used to text like she was dictating a letter from the 1800s and he was very proud of her, but made her sound pretty tense. He was already wary on his way to the guild, and when he bumped into her outside...

Some Daves since last time... Blacklight corruption: Void Desperation: Mia reunion: And also, Icetales art trade... ...and Starr and Brisa planning their next Fusion Arcflare:

Build adjustments for Dave: - ditch Hyperactive for Devastator - buy Augmented, Hex Technician and Ruiner - replace Howl with Scary Face - replace Assurance with Crunch Adjust Blacklight Boost to: +2 Attack +1 Evasion +1 Defense +1 Resistance

Turn 5: - Shining Burden on Brisa - Double Dip Vile Seed x2 at Red

(CW: ) One by one Red's Pokémon fell, save the Blastoise hanging on by a thread, but Red was still a Pokémon, still hanging back, still corrupted. Dave dragged forth more Radiance to shield Starr, used the sunlight radiating from her to heal Brisa, Shiron and Nip, and then stood back, panting...

Dave turn 4: - Focus x4 (full rest for 50% stamina recovery)

Logging a review for Scyther High.

This was a lot of fun, and I'm extremely tickled to have inspired it (though really, it only goes as far as the notion of Scyther in a high school!). I enjoyed the careful inclusion of every high school trope - the muscly jocks bullying the glasses-wearing nerd, the pantsing, the house party...

This was bullshit, this was bullshit, why were they doing this. Sure, some people went off to accompany Giovanni and the other Mewtwo, but were they actually going to be able to stop two fucking God Squad members if they turned out to be the famed spies? If they were so sure they were out for...

For Dave's turn 2, possible modifications pending while I sleep: - Double Dip Max Elixir + Cautious Seed - Psych Up Nip's Evasion - Shining Burden on Starr - Morning Sun on Shiron, Brisa and Nip

Also I'm ditching Shadow Charge for Void Desperation, if that wasn't obvious. For Turn 1: - Psych Up Shiron's Speed - Psych Up Starr's Attack

Dave's perks: Swap out Dodgey/Slippery, Tough and Resistant for Calm Spirit, Hex Adept, Weakener, and Hex Maniac. Logging art for the rest of my challenges this round, I could try to blitz some reviewing for it right now but I'm just so tireddd
