The Will to Fight: Ongoing: Blue
So Far
It's been a hard few days of cajoling the citizens of the Shining City into and through the catacombs. Many still talk about returning to the comforts of the city, scoffing at the idea of danger. But slowly, as they get further away from the city, more and more of them break out of the illusion. Though some remain lost in the illusion still, the majority are clear-minded by Kazoo 9.
Their mission changes from hurrying stubborn people along to comforting them as the truth dawns on them. The atmosphere becomes more desperate, more angry. More driven.
A plan is offered by the citizens: there is a cavern marked on their maps that opens up to the surface. It can be used as a base whilst any that feel able can go out to join the fight against the demons.
New Allies
Not long after breaking camp on the ninth day of the month of Kazoo they reach the cavern. However, it is clear straight away that something is wrong. The cavern is dark with no exits to be seen, and the Voidtreckers will quickly learn they are not alone. There's a small camp in the cavern, all humans, and after a tense moment they will welcome the citizens and their escorts.
Their story is simple: they were outside the city fighting when they got overwhelmed; they took shelter in the cavern but a gate opened nearby on the surface and caused a cave in. None of the scouts they had sent through the tunnels to the city have returned. Their food is running out and they were on the verge of heading to the city regardless of what they might find there when the Voidtreckers arrived.
Breaking Free
The cave-in is a large one, several metres thick at its weakest and blocking the exit to the outside completely. Those trapped here have made some progress but it's going to take a lot of hands, and potentially some magical help, to clear the blockages.
If they can clear it though, it will mean those who can fight, both citizen and Voidtrecker can begin to head back towards the city to fight, without having to re-enter the range of the illusionary Shining City.
The cavern makes a good staging point, and a secure place for those who cannot fight. Even with the blockage clear it is easy to defend, and holds the same sanctified protections as the tunnels themselves.

Anyway, 'f course! 's her whole thing, helps me out a bunch, [he adds, not clarifying why. Instead, he pops the ball open and out comes Kaseri, looking quite glad to be out.] Normally I'd be lett'n 'm roam, but th' issue is, I got no idea what they look like t' these people.
They ain't 'xactly dogs, they're smarter 'n tha'.
no subject
[ He sighs. ] She says we're not ready yet.
I know that, or at least, somewhat. Orion has no problem getting tangled up in anything I have going on. [ He sounds fond of his mischievous kitten. ]
no subject
Righ', so. Take a look at th' ponyta a sec'- whatcha see?
[Rather, the idea is the difference between the ponyta, and the espurr. It's pretty clear what that difference is. Espurr looks like it could be a real kitten, albeit with some unique abilities.
The ponyta has clearly jumped out of a 3D cartoon, or maybe it's an animatronic somehow, or-
Well the point is no animal looks like that.]
no subject
[ He can't help but rub his eyes a bit, the difference is jarring. ]
It's very different.
no subject
I guess th' best way t' put it is like...Eva's pokemon, they feel more like animals from a normal place, y'know? Pokemon where I was, it's like y' fell int' a cartoon. They're way smarter, practically people...plus, they don't uh. They don' really grow. Kaseri here has an evolution, but short 'f me givin' her a few special candies, tha' ain't happenin'. So no matter how old she gets on th' train, th's is just how she is.

Evolvin's jus' like...changin' up th' look, seemin' a bit older an' all. Th' pokemon fr'm where I am are jus' normally stuck between th' two, so you could have like, a tiny baby pokemon go out t' old age if it never did anythin'.
Hones'ly, I don' ev'n know why it's still called tha' f'r Eva's mons. They're jus' growin' up, no levels no nothin'.
no subject
[ He trusts Eva, but he doesn't know what this is like yet, not really. ]
no subject
no subject
[ He's seen it, so he can confirm, she has something with all of her pokemon data on it too. ]
At least she knows what she's doing. For now I'm just getting to know my kitten Orion. he's started trying to probe at my mind a bit.
no subject
H-
He what.. ..?

Well she told me he wouldn't be able to read my thoughts or anything it's just a way of communicating? Or searching for me? I don't know. It could be. I'm not familiar with your world.
no subject
...Yeah, Alola's pokemon def'nitely don' all do tha' if they're psychic...man, sometimes her's creep me out t' be honest...
no subject
[ He's already got a psychic link to Eva, that was weird enough. ]
no subject
That. That would be hell.]
