It's Time (Open)

[Brock Harrison & Pokemon]

(ooc: March 20th. Training thread for Critic's army.)

Brock was the first to arrive as he held an arrow in his hand. He'd finished training his Pokemon already and now they were resting. He was training himself now as he wanted to be prepared. There were targets lined up as he started firing shots. He did hit the targets but none of them were in the center like he'd liked. But at least it was an improvement. He grinned as he went to retrieve the arrows so he could try again.

XXXX

Diablo arrived next. He'd finally gotten the hang of being a teenage human. But he wanted to learn how to protect himself. At least he was a teenager or he'd be stuck in hiding with the others. He grinned as he held a sword in his hand waiting for someone to help him train.

XXXX

Rogue arrived next flying in and grinned. She was eager to train. As long as she stayed covered up and wore gloves she wouldn't affect anyone with her powers. She supposed she could train with Ralph but that might be too distracting. She grinned as she decided to practice her flying for now until she saw someone she wanted to train with.

XXXX

Roses walked out next holding a sword. She was in charge of this training session. Chick was a mermaid and Critic was an otter. And Spoony was dealing with being in charge while trying to find a way to reverse this. She needed a break from staying at her house with everyone anyway. She doubted Ask That Guy or Facilier would except them to train so soon after the last battle. But they needed to keep their training up. Especially if this spell lasted longer than they'd like.

XXXX

Dean walked out next with a grin. He held his sword and wore a green T-shirt and a tight pair of blue jeans. He was here to train and hoped he found a skilled opponent. He knew they might go easy on him as he was a teenager again right now. But he wanted to get better and prove he could still protect himself. Especially to his brother Sam.

[Captain James Nicholls]

Captain Nicholls grabbed his best fencing sword and went right outside. So far he enjoyed the side he was on. He really trusted these people. All of them were pretty welcoming and kind. Despite all the transformation chaos happening, he himself was unaffected which only motivated him to do much more. He went over to Roses, naturally, since she was announced to be in charge of this and wanted to battle with her. "Hello madame. Do you need a partner?"
XXX

Genie meanwhile was focused on both helping the transformation problem and helping himself fight. He was given permission to take a break to go battle. It would help him get to know people. And help him find the people who hurt Jasmine not too long ago! He then searched and found Rogue. Curiously and quickly he went over to her and said as friendly as he could "Heya. Wanna train?"
XXXX

Ralph meanwhile saw Rogue talking with genie for a time and despite knowing she was not interested, could not help but feel slightly jealous. Maybe he was worried but genie wasn't that bad looking. He decided to distract himself by going off to find someone to train with. Naturally he found Brock and asked "Hey! Brock! I know we don't talk much but you wanna train?"
XXXXX

Raphael meanwhile was slightly stressed. About his brother. So naturally he decided to find someone who actually happened to have a similar problem. "Hey you're dean right?" He asked curiously. He observed the teen and asked politely "I'm probably weird to you but I know how to fight" He offered his hand "I'm raphael. Call me raph. Wanna train?"

[Deleted]

Belle considered herself lucky, she supposed, she was transformed into something that could potentially defend itself.  Being a horse wasn't as bad as, say, being something that didn't have limbs.  Not that she was particularly happy about it.  The worst part, she thought, was no longer being able to speak with other people.  She could understand what they were saying but they didn't understand her.  Even in a new body, Belle hoped she'd be able to help her friends out somehow.  That was why she attending the training session.  Maybe while she was there, she'd be able to figure out how to fight like a horse.  Belle approached a tree, her ears held back in uncertainty.  She turned around and bucked one of her hind legs out, making the tree shake a bit.  Was that how she was supposed to do it?

~*~

Broadcast was around as well.  He mostly just followed the others because he wanted to play.  The weasel-bot didn't really understand the concept of training - or that he was in the middle of a war.  But he did think that what everyone else was doing looked like fun.  Broadcast ran around, looking in interest toward all the people there, but did not feel as if he was supposed to join in.  He stopped after a while and just stood there.  He wondered if someone would come and do things with him.  Broadcast could fight, but there was definitely room for improvement, especially since he was a clumsy robot.

~*~

Standing a fair distance away from the crowd was Mewtwo.  He was a pretty powerful Pokemon and, although he would not object to the opportunity to refine his skills, didn't quite feel his participation at this training was necessary.  Mewtwo was still as he watched for a short while.  He blinked, thinking if perhaps he would be allowed to be a sort of mentor.  Mewtwo, not that he was particularly cocky, knew he was a strong creature and was curious if it might have been his duty to pass on his knowledge somehow.  It would've been strange though, as he wasn't aware of very many that had powers just like him.  There were magic-users sure, but there was a huge range of all the different kinds of magic.  Mewtwo disregarded the thoughts and lifted his head to watch, curious to get to know his allies' abilities better.  He would not object if he was approached and asked to train, but for the moment, he only observed.

~*~

Null had, if very reluctantly, agreed to go out into the woods with the others.  Having only joined yesterday, the grey-skinned racer was still having a hard time understanding the entire ordeal.  One thing was certain though, he was not very keen to the idea of having to train.  But, since no one had specifically told him to do anything, Null just sat on a rock, having no clue what was expected of him.  He had a fairly dangerous-looking dagger in his hand, but did nothing with it, save gently running his thumb across the pointed end.

"What am I even doing here?  Do I look like I come from a fighting game?  This is ridiculous," he grumbled to himself.

[Brock Harrison & Pokemon]

Roses looked up at James and smiled.

"Sure James. I'd like to have a partner. It'd be an honor to train with a captain. Maybe you could give me some pointers." said Roses.

She grinned motioning for him to follow her as she didn't want to get in anyone else's way while they trained. Once she was sure they were far enough from everyone and yet still able to keep an eye on everyone she held her sword an charged at him with a grin.

XXXX

Rogue smiled as Genie joined them.

"Hi." said Rogue.

She paused at his question.

"I guess. But be careful not to touch me. My main power is if I touch someone I knock them out and steal their powers. If their human I could put them in a coma for a while. So far Ralph's the only one I can touch and not hurt him. It's why I wear gloves and stay covered up. I don't know if your magic would protect you so be careful." said Rogue.

She smiled deciding to let him make the first move.

XXXX

Brock paused looking up at Ralph and smiled.

"Sure. I've trained with Hal before but this is still so new to me. I want to get stronger. And we can get to know each other better afterwards. Maybe hang out or something?" said Brock.

XXXX

Dean grinned looking up at Raphael.

"Yeah. I'm Dean." said Dean.

It was still surreal seeing Raphael of all people. He'd read the comics in his world and Raphael had been his favorite. Granted they all wore the same headband. He'd seen some of the 80's show but they show was a bit well cheezy. But this Raphael wasn't from that show. He grinned at him.

"I'm used to weird things. I hunt demons, ghosts, and other supernatural creatures for a living." said Dean.

He smiled at him.

"I know. I'd love to train with you. There's comic books and tv shows and films based on you in my world. You were my favorite." said Dean.

It was something he hadn't really told outside of Sam and he found himself blushing. It was kind of cool to train with one of his favorite fictional characters.

"Sorry. It's just I never thought I'd get to meet you and now you want to train with me." said Dean.

XXXX

Diablo was trying to adjust to his human body. He grinned walking over to Mewtwo.

"Could you help train me Mewtwo? I used to be a raven but thanks to magic I'm human now. I don't know how long I'll be like this but I want to be useful and learn how to fight. But if you're too busy I could ask someone else." said Diablo.

[Captain James Nicholls]

"Oh absolutely. Anything you are curious about, feel free to ask" James replied. He was also honored to be acknowledged for his title. Despite it, James didn't really feel special but he was glad people noticed it anyway. He followed Roses away from everyone. He too wanted to not harm anyone near, seeing that it could get dangerous. When everything was set and done, James stood in a fighting stance and saw her come towards him. With a delighted laugh, she and he clashed.

"I say! Good work! You are actually very good!" James responded, before shoving her slightly "Be sure to shove your opponent off when you can. For they might do it to you first"
XXXX

"Hello!" Genie replied cheerfully. He then nodded as Rogue responded to be careful and not touch her. He was about to joke about cooties or diseases but she stopped him saying she could put people in comas. He realized that was no laughing matter but he nodded and gave a thumbs up. "Got it no touchy"

"Let's see you handle the BFG!" He responded, seeing her allow the first move. He snapped his fingers and instantly he looked like a military solider with a huge gun. "Just dodge!" He commanded as he began shooting her. They were not going to hurt her but if it DID touch her, it'd definitely be unpleasant. He was trying to train and so used his powers. Hopefully she wouldn't be upset
XXXX

"Sure thing! We can hang out!" Ralph agreed. He then got himself ready and responded "How about you make the first move? Sometimes I don't know my own strength" He then allowed Brock the chance. He waited for the younger, seeing he was very new to fighting physically instead of other ways
XXXX

He nodded, for Raph was glad he knew this was dean. He looked different from before. He was younger for one thing. He then shrugged as Dean mentioned he was used to weird things.... then paused as Dean said he hunted demons and the like. "Demons? Oh boy. I've had my fair share of those. Let me tell ya. It wasn't pretty. Hunting those things? That can't be a easy job?"

"Really?" Raph said, grinning insanely. Mikey would've hated this if he wasn't so saddened by other things. Mikey and he were normally debating on who was better so seeing Dean call him his favorite just gave him plenty of pride. "Well thank ya. Glad to see you know who's good at fighting then" He then chuckled as Dean acted nervous "Hey, man. Don't sweat it. It's all cool. You're much more chill than mikey was when he was hired by the silver sentry"

Spirit was finally allowed to go out of the stables for today. And so was minding his own business. He sniffed and saw a mare. He at first was confused then remembered that Magnus and Linksano were turned to horses. As such maybe another human member was turned too. Curious, Spirit went over to the mare and neighed for her attention.

"If you were that'd be TOTALLY RADICAL!" 90's kid said as Null muttered to himself. The younger man of the at4w group was bored. As such, he wanted to train. Since he came back from the safe house for a while now, 90's kid quickly went to enjoy being back in the regular area. What better way than to train with a newbie he never met? "What's up man! I'm 90's kid!"

[Brock Harrison & Pokemon]

Roses Vs. James:

Roses grinned at him.

"I will." said Roses.

She grinned at his compliment as they started fighting.

"Thank you. I'm better than I thought with just a few weeks of training." said Roses.

Then he shoved her back and told her to shover her opponents off them when they could before they could.

"You're right. Also the closer they are the easier it is for opponents to hurt you." said Roses.

XXXX

Rogue Vs. Genie:

Rogue smiled at him.

"Well I can touch my boyfriend Ralph but he's from a digital world. I think that maybe since he was made up of data my power doesn't work on him. Maybe you'd be immune being a genie but might be safer to not risk it. After all I wouldn't want to end up stuck with your powers for awhile and have no idea how to use them. That could be dangerous." said Rogue.

Rogue chuckled as he transformed into a soldier with a gun. She jumped into the air and started doding the blasts.

"Can you make sure they disappear or turn into smoke when they land? I wouldn't want someone else to get hurt. We don't have a lot of training area after all." said Rogue.

XXXX

Brock vs. Ralph:

Brock grinned at him.

"Cool. I never thought I'd be meeting a video game character. Most video games in my world were with Pokemon. I'm glad I got to meet you." said Brock.

Brock nodded pulling out the Blade Blaster from his pocket turning into to sword mode. His archery weapons he didn't want to risk since he didn't want to hurt Ralph. And arrow strikes were harder to heal than a sword after all. He charged at Ralph swinging his Blade Blaster at him.

XXXX

Dean vs. Raphael:

Dean grinned at him.

"You fought demons as well? That's cool." said Dean.

Dean nodded at Raphael's questions.

"Yes. I kinda wanted to be you as a kid. To be tough and protet my brother. I'm still adjusting to the fact I have a half-brother my father never told us about. He's living with his mom somewhere. I just hope he doesn't have demons going after him. Now that Sam and I are stuck here." said Dean.

Dean chuckled as Raphael spoke.

"I know you're the best. And it's an honor to train with you." said Dean.

He smiled at how cool Raphael was being.

"I'm glad to hear that. I mean you're awesome but not everyone wants a "super fan" screaming and hugging and all. I'm not a fangirl after all." said Dean.

[Captain James Nicholls]

James Vs. Roses

"Only a few weeks? Very impressive" James said, a evident smile on his face. He then continued to train with her, glad that she seemed to be a pretty good listener. Especially since this was a war, a good listener to orders was someone who clearly was aware that people could get killed. As the two continued to train, he nodded as Roses explained why James told her to shove opponents first.

"Exactly. And once they overwhelm you, chances are they will not be merciful. They might even do everything they can to make sure you're down and stay down" James replied
XXXXX

Rogue Vs. Genie

"If it's only for specific humans then maybe I'm not infected either? Ah well, better safe then sorry like you said" Genie replied. He felt bad that this woman had a power that required her not to touch people. That probably would be a very challenging life to lead.

"Already ahead of you, sargent!" Genie saluted her before snapping his fingers. The bullets that attacked would now immediately disappear. He continued to fire and then went to a machine gun, but it wouldn't hurt her or anyone. He called out "Are you not entertained?!"
XXXX

Brock Vs. Ralph

"Well I don't usually meet people unless they play my games. It's nice to meet you too!" Ralph replied, a smile on his face. He then saw Brock get his blade blaster and the video game character dodged it. He had a small puzzled look on his face "Pokémon? Is that some type of animal? You have pets or something?!" He kept fighting, careful with his fists.
XXXXX

Raphael Vs. Dean

"With magic, actual magic. I wish I was kidding but I'm not. It's a long story that I CAN tell you if you want" Raphael nodded, smiling at the other's enthusiasm.

Raphael's head raised up with pride as Dean explained that when younger, he wanted to be like Raphael. He smiled again "Hey, the fact you want to protect your family is being like me enough. Being tough isn't something you learn, you just are. And you already seem like a tough dude" He then nodded as Dean explained his fan-hood "Nah, I don't have a lot of fans I know of. You seem to be the first"
