Pokémon VS Digimon: Digital Deathmatch (RP)

[Alex64]

"Well, I suppose being able to digivolve at your own pace is pretty convenient..." Lia muttered, staring at her Kuramon and wondering how it would ultimately turn out.
A thought suddenly occurred to her, and she asked, "Oh, you said wild Digimon can join us if they respect our own Digimon enough? So... how can we get their respect?"

 

[Glitchipedia]

Gennai nodded to David once more.

"Almost," he said. "Your Digimon are currently at level 1; you'll need to raise them to level 4 before they can maintain an In-Training form indefinitely."

He hesitated before answering Pearce, a serious look in his eyes.

"Yes, it is possible to take Digimon to your world and bring Pokémon here. In the former case, you must take extra care to ensure that they aren't seen, or at least that they aren't recognized. There are no restrictions on bringing Pokémon here."

He frowned at Pearce's second question, a sigh escaping his lips.

" 'Why' is a question only the Programmer can answer. Perhaps it is something in your very DNA; I can't say with absolute certainty what she may have programmed her algorithm to look for. In any case, I trust her judgment, and if her program believes you have what it takes, then I believe it also."

Celia's question gave Gennai cause to smile once again.

"It seems to depend on the individual Digimon. Some have greater respect for Digimon that have achieved higher levels and Digivolutionary stages. Others are more impressed if defeated by underdogs. They'll usually offer clues about their preference during the course of battle."

He fell silent, waiting patiently for any additional questions.

 

[Alex64]

"Alright, I suppose any other things I can find out on my own," Lia remarked, folding her arms. "Nothing more from me."

 

[saifors]

David looked around a bit more "So where do we go to have our partners fight wild Digimon and gain experience points?"

 

[Glitchipedia]

[[OOC NOTE: A previous post has been revised. Gennai now correctly states the name and location of Native Forest. I apologize for the initial oversight.]]

Gennai nodded to Celia, then raised an eyebrow at David's question.

"As I said," he began, "the Native Forest to the southwest of File City is inhabited mainly by In-Training Digimon that have just recently left Primary Village. Many of them are eager to gain experience and Digivolve, and are therefore spoiling for a fight, so you may train against them if you wish. I really must ask you to please pay attention, this stuff is important."

 

[saifors]

"Ah okay, sorry All this information is hard to keep track of but thank you" David says as he and Mokumon move towards the Native Forest in hopes of finding some opponents.

 

[Alex64]

"'kay, I'm gonna be headin' to the forest," Lia announced to the others, heading to where the old man had told her to go with her Kuramon in tow. To Pearce she added, "You can come with if you want, kid. Either way's fine with me."

 

[Clawwer]

Pearce listened to Gennai once again, starting to get a little sick of the old mans voice.

'Why' is a question only the Programmer can answer.

Goddammit. Pearce sighed and ran a hand through his hair. If this programmer has gone missing, he's going to have to wait a long time for a straight answer. This blows.
He tuned in again just in time to hear Gennai comment about how other Digimon would be joining them, it seemed to be dependent on earning their respect. A tad more difficult than throwing a pokeball, however you did technically need to earn the Pokemon's respect as well. Pearce was sure he'd figure it out. He glanced down at Fufumon as Gennai mentioned the Native Forest once again, guess it was time to do some grinding. Then he'd head to File City to figure out what to do next.

The boy withdrew from his thoughts with a jump as Celia addressed him. He hadn't been mentally prepared. He stared in her direction as she propositioned him joining her to the forest. His stare grew a little more fierce when she addressed him as a kid. He was young, much younger than them, but he didn't want to end up being patronized. He'd have to wait a bit longer to see how they'd act before he snapped at them though, the boy knew that much.

"Sure I guess. I'll tag along if we're aiming for the same place anyway." Pearce replied, his voice plain, not betraying any emotion other than dull. He glanced down at Fufumon once again and decided to pick the small thing up, flinching at how its slimy body felt on his hands. Still, the Digimon looked happy to be fully acknowledged and that was enough to make Pearce smile. Even when it started blowing bubbles in his face as he walked.

Gennai nodded as the DigiDestined departed for the forest.

"Good luck to you, friends," he said. "May the Sovereigns watch over you."

*~-._/NATIVE FOREST\_.-~*
​

A thick, green wood with reasonably level terrain, warm sunlight softly streaming between the leaves of the comfortably tall trees. All seemed quiet enough for now, with neither sight nor sound to suggest the presence of any large, dangerous beasts. The air was fresh and slightly humid, perfect for a leisurely stroll.

The only thing disturbing the peaceful atmosphere was the occasional rustling to be heard in the bushes. There were definitely small Digimon here, as Gennai had said; all the DigiDestined had to do was find them.

When ready to initiate an encounter, please choose one of the following numbers:

Celia: 6, 25, 31

David: 3, 4, 8

Pearce: 6, 22, 26

Celia looked about as they entered the forest. This place vaguely reminded her of Unova's Pinwheel Forest, where her mother used to take her when she was little...
She was roused from her thoughts when she noticed her Kuramon staring into the bushes.
"...Hm? What's up, Kuramon?"

David looked around the forest, he was especially fixated on the ground "huh, guess it's not modelled after that old PlayStation game after all, when I heard Native Forest I thought big screens with directions on the ground, also Digimushrooms, but especially big TV screens on the ground" Mokumon looked confused "What's a PlayStation, is it edible?" slightly startled by the unexpected response of his partner who hadn't really said anything up until now "Oh... well considering youre made out of fire and smoke technically anything is edible to you, whether it will taste well is another thing entirely, take me for example, I don't taste very well, the experience or data or whatever from the wild Digimon there on the other hand is quite tasty"

Celia's Kuramon was right to be interested in that bush. Within moments of Celia's inquiry, a tiny, blue and white creature leaped out and assumed a battle stance.

A wild DemiVeemon appeared!

​

David and Mokumon's conversation, meanwhile, was being watched with great curiosity by what looked like a baby aquatic dinosaur floating just inches above the ground.

A wild Bukamon appeared!

Digimon Analyzer screens are a mix of elements from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Black and White Versions, as well as Digimon Anode/Cathode Tamer: Veedramon Version
DemiVeemon and Bukamon sprites are from Digimon Adventure 02: D-1 Tamers

 

[Alex64]

Observing her Digivice, which had just lit up with information about the wild Digimon, Lia muttered, "So you're a DemiVeemon, huh...?"
She shoved the Digivice into her pocket, fixing the DemiVeemon with a cold stare. This one didn't look too formidible for her and Kuramon. Besides, she had her Totodile to fall back on if things went awry.
"I'd hate to have a cute Digimon like you beat up, but if you're gonna fight, then I don't really have a choice, do I?"

 

[saifors]

David, upon identifying the Difimon, briefly contemplated the odds "Let's see... he's one evolution level higher, has an elemental advantage and Mokumon has no attribute..."
David looked at Mokumon "You'll have to dodge the bubbles, shouldn't be too hard they're bubbles, known for floating slowly"
David proceeded to confidently order Mokumon "Now, charge at him while we can still get the first strike!"

 

[Clawwer]

Pearce watched intently as both David and Celia came across some new Digimon, both bigger than their own. They all had entered a battle stance, and Pearce noticed this was all remarkable similar to a Pokemon battle. He reached back and felt the Pokeball in his back pocket, it soothed the nerves Pearce had developed over fighting these new creatures that he didn't have any experience with, outside of a video game. This was remarkably different compared to the fact that Pearce had attended trainer school religiously back in the 'real' world. Being thrown into something he had no real experience with, kinda gave him the creeps.

As he watched Mokumon and Kuramon square up bravely against these new Digimon, Fufumon started to squirm in his hands, before jumping over his shoulder and looking around with intent eyes. Pearce turned and knew that Fufumon had obviously seen something, but whatever it was had disappeared. At least, that was what Pearce thought for a moment, before he saw a shadow moving in the corner of his eyes.

The DemiVeemon stood very still, watching Celia's Kuramon intently, like it was waiting to see what it would do.

At David's command, Mokumon sprang into action, but Bukamon was very slightly faster. It rushed forward and swiped at Mokumon with one of its flippers, missing the first time, but landing a solid hit with the second strike.

However, solid or not, the attack appeared to have no effect whatsoever. The Bukamon paused, confused, giving Mokumon an opening to attack, also missing with its first swipe but following with two moderately strong blows.

Which....also did absolutely nothing.

Meanwhile, the shadow Pearce had glimpsed finally came into full view: a small, pink ball with a long, red feather on its back and the face and wings of a bird.

A wild Poromon appeared!

Poromon sprite is from Digimon Adventure 02: D-1 Tamers

 

[Alex64]

"Kuramon, go for it," Lia ordered, folding her arms. "Let's see what you can do."
She honestly wasn't expecting very much from Kuramon, but, as she reminded herself, looks could deceive...

 

[saifors]

David's jaw went wide open "What the hell? 4 attacks and absolutely nothing?!"
The tamer collected himself before he gave Mokumon his next order
"okay, Mokumon charge with the flame on your head at his hair to set it on fire!"

 

[Glitchipedia]

No sooner were the words out of Celia's mouth than the DemiVeemon charged forward, not even giving Kuramon time to react.

"Pop Attack!" it cried, slamming into the jellyfish headfirst and knocking it back.

Though dazed, Kuramon quickly recovered and pressed a counterattack.

"Glare Eye!" it shouted, forcefully spewing a frothy substance from its single eye which sent DemiVeemon sliding back several inches.

Whether she was paying attention to it or not, Celia's Digivice displayed that Kuramon was at 76.9% health, while DemiVeemon was still at 89.5%. Kuramon's Digivolution charge had also risen to 16.645%.

Mokumon did its best to try and follow David's command, charging toward its opponent at top speed, but the Bukamon was able to easily strafe out of the way. It glared at David with an indignant expression.

"Hey, what are you trying to pull?!" it said. "Where I come from, that's called fighting dirty! Play by the rules, you big cheater!"

The Poromon simply hovered in midair, watching Pearce and Fufumon warily.

 

[Alex64]

Noticing her Digivice had lit up again from within her pocket, Celia pulled it out, taking in the information it displayed. This didn't look very good for Kuramon; chances are it'd be defeated before it could do the same to DemiVeemon. Her Totodile would likely stand a better chance against the Digimon.
"Kuramon, that's enough! Get back!" she commanded, producing the Poké Ball that contained her Totodile. Pushing the center button to enlarge it, she threw it out, calling, "Go for it, Totodile!"
