Avenging One's Fallen Bretheren

29 October 2018

08:19 < SaulAshle> Gmorning mons!

08:23 < Hypha> ...Male Salazzle? Sounds like quite the miracle.

08:24 < Hypha> Usually only the females have the ability to evolve, but here we are.

08:24 < Great> I'm sure there are a few out there.

08:28 < SaulAshle> Indeed, I think most of us were evolved in captivity. It is due to the inadequate feeding by the females of my species after all.(edited)

08:28 < Hypha> Ahhh. Right, the whole malnutrition thing.

08:29 < Hypha> Still need to figure out how the other single-gender evolutions work...since I know in THOSE cases it's definitely not due to malnutrition.

08:29 < Lea> Weird headcannon, maybe a male would evolve due to the lack of females and the need of the pack to have a leader

08:30 < Hypha> I usually don't bother with humans. Besides, they don't really have anything of worth for my vine to take from them.

08:30 < SaulAshle> It sill takes more food than one salandit can forage in their own terms to truly evolve... But my diet was supplemented by chespins

08:30 < Hypha> Myeh? Did you mention Chespin?

08:30 < SaulAshle> They're pretty tasty!

08:31 < Hypha> ...oh. So you ate them instead of them feeding you.(edited)

08:31 < SaulAshle> :)

08:32 < SaulAshle> My otter trainer raised me from an egg... He seems pretty nice. Idk what yall are on about.

08:32 < Hypha> ...hm? What kind of otter?

08:32 < SaulAshle> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/24357965/

08:33 < Hypha> Ah, that kinda otter.

08:36 < SaulAshle> I don't stay in a ball... I've got my trainer wrapped around my tail~~

08:41 Hypha takes a deep breath...and sighs, before turning to the male Salazzle in the room.
Anyway...about a certain subject that was brought up earlier.

08:45 < SaulAshle> What's that Hyphia?

08:54 < SaulAshle> glances back at @Hypha ans raises a brow. "Hmm? What about what subject?"

08:54 Hypha turned to the male, after having waited for long enough.
The subject about your diet being supplimented by Chespin. Did they go out to find you food to fill your with, or...did you eat them?(edited)

08:58 SaulAshle licks his lips as the glances up and down Hypha. "My trainer fed them to me, of course. He was very generous, wanna join em?"

08:59 Hypha narrowed his gaze at the male Salazzle. It looked like he'd deploy that special vine of his at any moment...but Saul didn't know about that one yet.
"...I'd rather not, sorry. Lest you end up the same way they did."(edited)
[9:04:00] [29.10.18] -*- SaulAshle rolls his eyes and turns around lazily, exuding a pink wispy smoke from below his tail that had a sweetly musky scent to it, and a mind clouding effect that lowered inhibition and made one more suggestable, though it would take time to reach an effective concentration, and time again to work it's magic. "Well that's fine then, I wasnt quite hunting for breakfast yet anyway, though you smell delectable even from over here.
[9:06:00] [29.10.18] -*- Hypha grunted...he was familiar with these...pheromones. Though, even with the case of unevolved Salandit, usually only the females had the ability to produce pheromones. So how...?
"Do I? Well...in that case, I can feel the tremendous power you give off from over here, too...!" He grinned, whipping out that third vine from the back of his neck already...and while he still had self control, he opened it up and lunged it towards the lizard while they weren't looking!(edited)
[9:12:00] [29.10.18] -*- SaulAshle 's pheremones are far less effective than those of his feminine counter parts and rather than full on mind control, they merely cloud the judgment of those involved, and make them more open to Saul's ideas.

The lizard pointedly ignores his future treat and continues to let his cloud grow. As he heels the vine impact his neck, the lizard let's out a loud hiss, turning towards the creature. "You should not have done that!"(edited)
[9:15:00] [29.10.18] -*- Hypha 's vine had opened up like a sucker, enveloping the male's head. Hypha's Giga Drain started to slowly take effect, though due to the type disadavantage, it had a bit of a slow start. Regardless, Hypha raised his jacket to cover his mouth and nose, grunting as he tried to envelop more of the lizard whilst avoiding breathing in the gas...
"Nnngh...you think I'd listen after that? Besides...looks like someone hasn't heard about me before...I'm a special Chespin...!"(edited)
[9:22:00] [29.10.18] -*- SaulAshle grunts as that long appendage takes his head in its grasp and very quickly he starts to feel his energy draining from his form, but he's still got plenty of fight in him left. The organge patch on his tail starts to glow a bright color, before a blast of fire bursts forth along the strip in a compact puff of plasma that impacts that vine holding him. In the wake of that jet of flame the pink smoke that had been in that area burns away, leaving it instead a charred black. His claws scrabble at the vine attempting to free himself after the attack.
[9:26:00] [29.10.18] -*- Hypha yelped out in pain as his vine took a hit, part of the vine burning and tearing off as he was forced to pull back in order for his vine to regenerate and heal the damage. While he DID manage to absorb SOME of their energy, unfortunately for him pulling back the vine to heal it meant that the Salazzle could retaliate.
"Nnnngh...dammit...should have taken that into account...but I'm not going to let you take me, too!" His spikes stiffened, glowing green as he hurled Pin Missiles at the Salazzle, likely as a deterrent.(edited)
[9:36:00] [29.10.18] -*- SaulAshle collapses to the ground as the vine bids a hasty retreat from his figure, while he shakes himself off. Part of him had figured this encounter might be over now, so that the lazy lizard could go back to sunning himself, or at least he hoped so. Alas the cry of the other mon draws his attention back, where he then feels the sharp of spines piercing into his soft skin and embedding themselves. The lizard scurries to the side to get ahead of the barage of projectiles. "I was not intereted in breakfast you fool...until now!" There's a convulsion up his chest and a large lump travels up his throat as he moves, followed by a spat globule of dark purplish muck like a ball of mud that travels through the air rapidly towards his target. The lizard continues moving, however, not watching to see if his Venoshock meets his target.(edited)
[9:37:00] [29.10.18] <Hypha> ((His third vine doesn't have any bodily fluids. That includes sap.))
[9:38:00] [29.10.18] <SaulAshle> (ah right, kk
[9:38:00] [29.10.18] <Hypha> ((Yeh, just wanted to let'cha know!))
[9:39:00] [29.10.18] -*- Hypha frowns. "Hmph..." He glared even more...when he spotted the glob of muck travelling towards him, he likewise stepped aside, using one of his natural vines instead of his special third vine to pull himself up towards a nearby tree branch. "Well, that makes two of us, then. Two predators looking to eat one-another...or in my case, potentially absorb the other~!"(edited)
[9:46:00] [29.10.18] -*- SaulAshle narrows his eyes as he comes to a stop, facing off against the other Pokémon. "Well isn't that interesting? A little thing like you thinking you're top dog?... Now that you've wasted your surprise... I'd say you were at a disadvantage, wouldn't you? Your little leafy boys are susceptible to my flames," he points out, running his tongue across his lips. His Palms start to glow upon his orange patches, telegraphing the incoming fireball for only an instant before it erupts from his hands.(edited)
[9:49:00] [29.10.18] -*- Hypha responds, "Hmph. Sure, I might end up burning from your flames, but...well, I DID say I'm a special kind of Chespin, after all! I'm MUCH stronger than the rest..." He leaps up from above, curling into a ball and charging down onto Saul with a surprisingly powerful Rollout! For such a small, seemingly annoying runt, it seemed like his boasting was not hyperbole.
[9:58:00] [29.10.18] <Hypha> ((Beep.))

10:01 SaulAshle isnt going to be caught off guard this time, having already taken two good hits from the other mon, and waits to side step at the last minute and whip around for a good dragon tail, though even as he avoids the attack, his planned one goes wide, not swinging through fast enough to hit the fast moving mon. The lizard is starting to pant from the exhurtion at this point as he turns to face his opent once more. "Maybe...perhaps enough not to be worth it. I just want to get back to my sun, so if you'd kindly just scedaddle," he states, trying to hold back his wearyness.

10:04 Hypha bounced off the ground and rolled a bit, before uncurling.
"...hmph. So that's it? You're just gonna lie down and laze on a rock or something, I presume? Fine, then. Go ahead and do that, nut eater." He rolled his eyes before turning his back, slowly walking off. "...but just remember that if you see me again, it'd be best not to treat me like you do with all the other Chespin. Otherwise, well...I might just succeed in absorbing you with my special vine next time."(edited)

10:12 SaulAshle smirks as it seems that his ploy has worked and then clambers up ont a nearby stone. Warily he watches the Chespin as they slowly start to wander off. "Yes, thats exactly what I'm going to do. Maybe I'll hunt you down later if Im in the need of lunch," he responds with a smirk. The lizard watches him for a while, but should he get far enough away, the salazzle will fall into inattentiveness once again. (honestly didn't expect that to work :P

10:14 Hypha , as he walked back for a while, stopped.
"...you ARE going to listen to me...right?" Then he looked back, with a scowl. "'cause if you're trying anything funny...I'm not having any of it."

10:17 SaulAshle offers a noncommittal flick of his tail at the other mon. "Don't worry, I don't usually find eating morsels like you funny, just satisfying."

10:19 Hypha snorts. "Yeah, like I'm going to let you." He turned to face the Salazzle fully, slowly walking backwards as he kept his gaze on them. He knew something was off about this...as after a few steps, his natural vines suddenly reached up into the trees, and he disappeared again.(edited)

10:23 SaulAshle rolls eyes eyes and this time as the mon fully disapears he closes his eyes and lets himself begin to doze on that rock. As he does so, that familiar cloud of pink smoke slowly bellows forth from his tail, forming a hazy pink cloud around him as he's left to sleep.

10:25 Hypha spotted that cloud of smoke from above...knowing it would be practically suicide if he were to get close and inhale those mind-influencing fumes. His gut feeling was telling him he should probably let them go for now, and wait until he can get the jump on them again...but considering they managed to catch him the first time, it's likely they'll be prepared for round two.

10:33 SaulAshle basks on his rock, hissing softly to himself in little spurts as he manages to fall fully into a slumber, though even in his sleep, the cloud refuses to disapate. Still..there was indeed a steady breeze blowing in from one direction, leaving one approach unguarded by the fumes. Even still, that was on the far side of the forrest, meaning the breeze was carrying his special scent towards the mon in the tree.

10:34 Hypha carefully swung from tree to tree to avoid the fumes, until he was out of the fumes' range...and at the perfect angle to swoop down at the male. Quickly, he wrapped his natural vines around nearby tree trunks for support, before he slid down to the ground...and carefully started to tiptoe over to the unguarded lizard. His third vine had fully healed at that point, so he slowly pulled it back out...and opened it up real wide. Then, it came down and clamped down onto the Salazzle's entire body!(edited)

10:35 < SaulAshle> (I guess that's that?

10:37 < SaulAshle> (probably ought to gimme more to work with. He'll require being disturbed befure I much respond ^^:

10:40 < Hypha> ((Finished editing!))

10:46 SaulAshle slept soundly, unaware of the presence of the other mon as he drew close, confident of the guard of his smoke screen, and indeed, Hypha was near enough that they would be able to feel the effects starting to come on, even on the upside of the wind, though it'd only start with a slowly growing mental fog and he certainly had the advantage as that vine slams into Saul. The lizard wakes with a sudden start as he feels the force of the attack, though wrapped up in teh vine as he was, he could see nothing in the blackness. He begins to squirm in a sudden panic, calling out, while his tail burns an angry red to release another bout of fire.

10:49 < SaulAshle> (btw I'm not sure how you imagine giga drain feeling, so you ought to describe that a bit too)(edited)

10:55 Hypha leached him once that open vine clamped down; the Salazzle was starting to weaken tremendously...that vibrant burning fire, although it caused Hypha deep pain, was slowly starting to peter out since it was a full-body drain and not a partial drain...and their limbs started to limp slightly, having their strength sapped through physical contact with the vine's walls.
"Aaaargh...nnngh...let me...have that energy of yours, dammit..." He grunted, as he slowly lifted the lizard up...occasionally jolting to pull them deeper into his vine. He used the absorbed energy to keep his vine from simply breaking apart, as his focus was prioritized on making sure that...uh...making sure they didn't escape...? Was that it? It seemed like the mental fog had briefly distracted him from concentrating on his end goal, though his vine still wouldn't budge to let the lizard free.(edited)

11:05 SaulAshle hisses madly within the vine and squirms as he feels himself growing much more tired than hed been only moments ago, his limbs growing tired and heavy and slowing his motions. "L-let me go!" He hisses out at the other mon as he sinks deeper into the vine, forming a large lump in the long lenght. He cant summon up any more of his fire, but he still has his reserves of poison. Concentrating hard and directing all his energy there, he brings up another ball of acid ever so slowly, though instead of it being spit out, it just runs from his maw, soaking into the flesh of the vine that surrounds him. That mental fog continues to grow everpresent, and if anyone were to give him orders at this point, he might find himself more inclined than usual to follow them, though it'd be no compulsion by any means.

11:06 Hypha grunted...feeling the acid attempting to eat away at his vine...as he continued to drain energy and pull the Salazzle deeper...they were almost halfway at the point, just about to make the descent downwards...

11:12 SaulAshle was finding it increasingly hard to move against the pressure of the vine now as it pulled his figure deeper into the plant creature. The lizard has grown almost docile now, having run out of henergy to pull out any sort of tricks onto his predator. And...he was so deep now that none of the pheremones spilled forth, allowing the cloud of vapors to slowly disapate. "Put me free...you annoying creature."

11:15 Hypha finds it was heavily muffled due to both the vine itself blocking the voice and due to the Salazzle being incredibly weak...but he could barely pick something up.
"Ah...?" He looked back, wide-eyed. At that point, the movement towards his back slowly grinded to a halt, though the drain still continued...

11:17 SaulAshle feels a bit of rising hope as the motion deeper seems to come to a stop, and lets out a more excited hiss. "I said let me out!" He calls as best as he can, though even that is weak and hard to hear. He could feel his eyes growing heavy after that last final bit of exhurtion, fainting inside the vine.

11:22 Hypha shrugs. "Out...let you out...huh...I mean, I'd be glad to...but these vibes...these urges I'm getting..." It was likely that he was referring to the feeling of having the male Salazzle's unique energy coursing through his veins...the one thing that was preventing the pheromones from completely winning out. Now he was torn...torn between obeying the order like he is supposed to, or wanting more of that good feeling...

11:24 SaulAshle is unable to offer any further suggestion on the matter, however, as the vine continues to sap his life force from his unconscious body. The longer he hesitates the less time Saul has left.

11:28 Hypha tilts his head. "...? Hello?" He questioned the Salazzle as they had fallen into unconsciousness. However, there was no response. Without input to stimulate the pheromone-drugged autumn nut, slowly Hypha's desire to absorb the Salazzle started to come back to him...as the bulge begun to move inwards once again. "...hah...oooh...that's right...I almost forgot...about the good feeling..." Eventually, the bulge reached the back of his neck, pressing up against it. Getting into position, he begun to pull the Salazzle into his very being...as the bulge started to squeeeeze inside, vanishing within about ten or so seconds with a SCHLORP, prompting Hypha to let out an euphoric moan in success! Once he felt that energy settle down in his body, he laid down on his back, sighing and panting heavily...and slowly closing his eyes to rest.(edited)

11:29 < SaulAshle> (probably ought to just finish him off ^^;(edited)

11:29 < Hypha> ((Aha!))

11:33 < SaulAshle> (what a rude nut

11:33 < SaulAshle> ( ;P

11:34 < Hypha> ((Rood to you, I guess. But hey, in a roundabout way, I guess he avenged his fallen nut brethren? In his own special way, of course.))

11:40 < Hypha> ((Something tells me that if he had eaten the Salazzle orally instead of absorbing them with his vine, he wouldn't have had the "good feeling" to bail him out of the pheromones' power.))(edited)

11:47 < SaulAshle> (orally is best noms though~~ Still you may have needed to best him in battle instead )

11:54 < SaulAshle> http://f-list.net/c/saul%20ashle

11:57 < Hypha> ((Aha.))
[12:00 PM] <Hypha> ((By the way...I noticed you have a little tally for how many preys he's eaten and how much he's gotten eaten. Not sure if Hypha's vine counts towards that, but hey, if you don't wanna include him as part of that it's fine. Besides, pretty sure he doesn't have an f-list thingy anyway.))
[12:01 PM] <SaulAshle> It's only for people who's f-list profiles I can link I'm afraid ^^;
[12:01 PM] <SaulAshle> If you make him a char page on there, then sure
[12:02 PM] <Hypha> ((Mmm. Yeah, I might make one in the future for him and for another FC of mine, but it might be a while.))
