Interdimensional Jailbreak - An RP Campaign

[133TFR33k]

Judging from his faces, Tango took great pleasure being roughly handled by the Lucario.

Upon mention of Arceus, Tango tilted his heads inquisitively. Could it be that Tango has never heard of Arceus? Now that you mention it, Tango has had a tendency to look at all the other mon with curiosity. Has this bird never seen another mon before?

When Blitz was slapped, Tango looked offended and started pecking at the Lucario, earning a slap. Tango's head went limp with a smile. He then repeated this with the other head for a similar result.

Once the Lucario was no longer focused on him, he pecked at it's feet resulting in a kick to both heads for good measure.

Finally spent for the moment, he was quite content to be dragged the rest of the way.

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

Blitz stared at Tango is disbelief. Man, did nothing scare this guy?!

Soon after, the duo was (quite literally) thrown into an office that was so over-the-top fancy that it might as well have been a Dragonite's hoard. The shelves were filled to the brim with Poké, items, and berries. Probably all of it being from taxing Seikatsu's citizens.

Seated at the desk on what might as well have been a throne, was an Absol. Shadow. Along with his signature necklace equipped with an Absolite. Apparently Shadow was a ruthless fighter once he Mega Evolved, causing Blitz to remain silent.

Shadow gave a devilish smile. "Hello again, freak." His eyes narrowed when he saw Tango. "Who's your new pet?"

 

[133TFR33k]

After entering the room, Tango appeared to no longer be injured!

Tango's eyes briefly scanned the room as he nodded. Did this bird have expensive taste or something?

He then shifted his gaze towards the berry hoard, beaks drooling.

At the mention of the word 'pet', he shifted his eyes back to the Absol as he started to... study him?

Tango then started grinning with his eyes half closed. Did this bird take nothing seriously, or was he really just that confident? If it was confidence, just what was the BASIS for such confidence? Then again, he didn't seem very thwarted by the attacks from that Lucario...

Tango glanced to his side at Blitz, seemingly looking for information or some sort of plan? But surely such tactics would be beyond the simple minded creature that was Tango...

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

"He's my friend," Blitz responded simply, trying to bite back a comment.

Shadow's eyes narrowed. "I don't care that he's your friend, because he wasn't your cellmate before this. So where, exactly, did he come from?" His voice was calm and threatening at the same time.

Blitz shot Tango a nervous glance, realizing that he didn't have a good explaination for that. "He..." Blitz trailed off.

Shadow smirked. "Oh Blitz, don't tell me we're gonna have to punish your friend over your mistakes," he said with mock sympathy.

Blitz eyes widened in panic. "No! You can't hurt him! Take me instead!"

Shadow pouted mockingly. "Aww, the shiny freak cares about the stupid birdy. Shame you can't protect him anymore..."

Blitz's eyes darted around to try and find an out. Eventually, he found a long shot: on one of the shelves on display was a Slumber Wand. If they could somehow use it on Shadow, he'd fall asleep and they could make their escape. He was too short to reach it, but maybe...

Silently, he looked at Tango, then at the Slumber Wand up high, then back at Shadow. Hopefully, his message would make sense to the Doduo. Please, Arceus almighty, let this work.

 

[133TFR33k]

Tango glanced to the wand. It looked so very excellent to use in a game of fetch.

Though the word may not have been called, Tango decided that now was the time for it.

Anytime Tango played fetch in the past, he did NOT mess around.

His talons dug into the fancy carpet for traction.

Suddenly he leapt straight into the bookshelf where the wand was!

But he did not crash into it! No, he used his legs to dampen the impact and dug his talons into the wood! Apparently the bookshelf had been bolted to the wall!

And a good thing too! Could you imagine the noise it would have created? The guards it would have alerted? But did Tango really calculate such things or was this mere coincidence? A happy serendipity?

The action had happened all in the blink of an eye... or at least roughly equivalent to a blink. Ok, perhaps that may be exaggerating a tad, but it was REALLY fast!

In the next second, Tango gripped the wand in his beak, but rather than bring it back to Blitz like one would normally do in game of fetch, he threw it to him just slowly enough to catch!

A pity he wasn't intelligent enough to use the wand himself as that would have saved time! Or perhaps he had just never seen one and had no idea what to do with it?

Regardless, the matter was now out of Tango's beaks.

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

Blitz grinned as he caught the wand and immediately pointed it at Shadow. "You-" Shadow couldn't even finish his sentence before he fell asleep, curled up in the fetal position. Blitz just looked at the Absol for a second in silence.

"Good boy," Blitz told Tango, giving him a pat on both heads. Climbing up the shelves, he started grabbing as many items that he could fit in a nearby bag: berries, wands, reviver seeds. "Grab whatever you can and let's get the heck out of here!" Blitz told Tango on a hushed whisper.

 

[133TFR33k]

Tango perhaps sneered at Absol, or perhaps it was all in the imagination?

What wasn't in the imagination was Tango petting Blitz with his beaks! Did Tango consider Blitz a pet? Perhaps a young chick in a flock of Doduo? Whatever the reasoning, clearly Tango enjoyed the company of small bird.

After a moment Tango then shifted focus to rooting about the shelves grabbing every berry in sight. Each berry, he buried into his mass of feathers of his particularly rotund body. Just where did he even PUT them?

He seemed uninterested in the remaining items despite the impressive display from Blitz with the wand.

Once he was done, he trotted over to Absol and shook about like a Growlithe when wet, but instead of water, there were feathers. Hundreds.

Tango then yawned and trotted back over to Blitz.

The result: Absol was now covered in no less than an inch of Doduo feathers.

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

The sight of the evil, ruthless Absol being covered in feathers and sleeping like a baby made Blitz laugh out loud. Quickly, before he remembered that guards were probably next door. Nobody barged on though, so they were safe.

"Perfect," he said to himself, grabbing a shiny blue orb and hopping down onto the carpet. "Once I activate this thing, we should both teleport out of here," he explained. "Just be warned, you might get dizzy. Ready?"

Blitz shook the orb in his hand, and with a flood of blue light, they were gone.

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

After a few moments, the duo landed into the forest. The sun was rising, which was particularly beautiful. Probably would've been better if the world wasn't doing cartwheels around Blitz. "Ughh, I'll never get used to that..." he groaned, trying not to fall over.

 

[133TFR33k]

Tango started spinning around more after appearing.

He then stopped all at once to maximize the effect and fell over with smiles on his faces.

Blitz soon got to his feet, albeit still a bit dizzy. "Alright, let's see if we can find a friend of mine that can help-" Blitz was rudely interrupted by a Zorua slapping the back of his head.

"Oh, there she is. Hi Shade." Blitz deadpanned.

"What are you DOING??" Shade exclaimed, seemingly furious. "Where have you BEEN??? I heard that you were ARRESTED, you idiot!!"

Blitz rubbed the back of his head. Arceus, that had hurt. "I was. We just broke out of prison." He said casually, as if it was no big deal.

"You... WHAT?!?!" Shade shouted, alerting some of the Pidgeys in the trees and causing them to fly away.

 

[133TFR33k]

Tango poked his head up while laying down to see Shade.

He tilted his head to the side in curiosity with a smile on his face.

For whatever reason, he seemed fond of Shade already.

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

Shade's eyes narrowes once she saw the Doduo. "And who exactly is this guy?" she somehow made the question sound like a threat.

Blitz, somehow, smiled. "His name's Tango, he's a friend of mine. He just helped me use a Slumber Wand on Shadow and ransack his office."

Shade's eyes looked like they were about to pop. "What the- are you INSANE?!"

Blitz gave her a goofy grin. "Of course I am. You should know this by now!"

Before Shade couod come up with a sarcastic comeback, a smaller Zorua ran up to the group. "Shade! Shade! Look what I-" the cub started before noticing Blitz and Tango. "Blitz! Hi!" The cub, Midnight, then turned to Tango and silently began having a stating contest with the bird.

(Midnight is about six years old, in case you were wondering.)

 

[133TFR33k]

Tango squinted at Midnight with a slightly puckered beak.

A classic sign of reaction to cuteness.

Well, at least the bird would have an easy time getting along with everyone.

But who would be the one to win such a staring contest?

Tango yawned, closing his eyes in the process. Was the bird even playing a staring contest to start with? If he was, he just lost. But it that was true, why? Could it be that Tango let Midnight win? Perhaps the bird was simply sleepy.

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

Midnight let out a small shout of triumph. "I won!!" He was so happy, it was almost infectious. Almost.

Shade just glared at the Torchic. "You have a lot of explaining to do," she said eventually, allowing the duo and Midnight into their house.

While it was built inside of a cave, it still felt homey (as that even a word?) It had lights coming from some glowing glass orbs, which Blitz for the life of him couldn't figure out if it was magic or not. They had a stone dining room table and carpets that were pretty, although slightly damaged.

Blitz caught Shade's glare burning a hole in the back of his head. "Fine, I'll talk," he relented.

Midnighr, meanwhile, was chatting it up with his new bird friend. "Do you wanna play a game? Let's play hide and seek! You hide, and I'll try and find you!"

Don't ever change, Midnight. Blitz thought to himself.

 

[133TFR33k]

(oh, I've decided that the 3rd person narrator for Tango should most definitely be read with an adult male British accent if you are able to imagine that. )

Apparently hide and seek was a game the rotund bird knew.

Oh, sure there WAS conversation going on nearby, but was there even any guarantee Tango could understand it?

Tango was attempting to hide behind one of the glass orbs. This was an obvious folly, as his body was far larger. It was small enough, however, to hide his eyes behind, which Tango performed perfectly.

Did this bird truly believe himself to be hidden? The concept of hiding ones head believing their entire body to he hidden was a dull, thought indeed.

As clumsy and unobservant as the bird commonly demonstrated, he seemed particularly reserved and delicate in Shade's home. Not a pebble out of place. Not a single item broken.

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

(So the narrator is voiced like in a nature documentary? )

"How are you not freaking out about this??" Shade was panicking enough for the both of them combined.

Blitz just gave her a small shrug. Shade looked at Blitz like he had grown two heads like Tango. "Can we stay here for a while? Just to lay low," Blitz asked. Before Shade could say no, Blitz dumped all of the stolen items onto the table, including thousands of Poké. Shade froze with her mouth hung open. "Ughhh, fine," she relented.

Midnight giggled once he immediately saw the Doduo's hiding spot. "I found you!" he pointed at Tango. Midnight then tilted his head at Tango, as if remembering something. "Where are you from?" Midnight asked, a seemingly innocent question by itself.

(I actually have a Zorua OC who goes by Shade in one of my fics so that's a cool coincidence)

 

[FlareTheBlitz]

(Wow really?? That's cool!)

 

[133TFR33k]

Stepping out from behind his 'cover,' Tango focused on Midnight. A head tilt was a sure sign of a question. But Tango did not tilt his own head in response. Could this be a suggestion of understanding?

Even if the bird should prove capable of speech, how would he explain the place he came from?

The only mon his society dealt with was Doduo. They had very little in the ways of items or food crafted for Pokemon. Even among other Doduo of his world, Tango was a curiosity. An oddity. Unlike any other Doduo. Physically the same perhaps, albeit with additional lard, but different otherwise.

His world revolved around the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Instead of physical battles, they settled their disputes with cards. Or at least that was how the humans of his world settled things.

Tango opted a form of response. Either that or he caught the sound of something far in the distance outside the cave as that was the direction of his gaze.
