Fandom A Chance Meeting at Ilex Forest

[AmethystRoze]

"Admins: Cassiopeia, Shelby, Radar and myself." She said looking over at the others, leaving the designation to Shelby or Cass.

…..

Balaa doesn't say anything, instead just staring at Peter.

"Well.. um..." Candy tried to say but couldn't.

 

[JessieSune]

"Alright," says Simon, raising an arm and looking himself over. "And, well, what's my directive? What purpose do I have? Why was I built?"

...

"I...I messed up," he manages to stutter out. "I hypnotized you. I'm sorry."

Malea looks surprised. "Well, Peter, I don't much appreciate that, but I forgive you. Just don't do it again."

 

[AmethystRoze]

Does he not remember anything? "You were built to be a conscience for the four Lucario bots, and any more we add too you, to make sure they don't do wrong."

…….

Candy tries to comfort Peter, since everyone said sorry it seemed safe to do. She nuzzled him.

Balaa on the other hand is looking at him I a rather ugly way.

 

[JessieSune]

"Oh, right!" Simon says cheerfully. "I thought so, but I needed to have someone else say so. You know, robot, and all. And, um, how much am I allowed to think and do as I like? Maybe expressed on a scale of...1-100? Numbers are a lot easier for me to understand, so I'd appreciate it if you told me a number."

Cass almost giggles out loud. Radar shakes his head almost in a resigned fashion, with a smile.

...

"I'm...I'm sorry, Balaa. I'd never tried it...I didn't know it could hurt others...please forgive me..."

"Hypnosis can be dangerous, Peter," says Malea quietly. "Danielle didn't teach you that, but she'll be happy to tell you more about it."

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle chuckles, he was so naïve even as a robot. "100 Percent" She said simply.

…………...

Balaa, drops her gaze, not saying anything.

Candy takes this time to look at her sister crossly for a second before returning her gaze to Peter.

 

[JessieSune]

"Alright!" He replies cheerfully. "Beginning execution of directive." His ears detach and float to Liese. "Implementing shared OS protocols -- redirecting moral and emotional cores. Apply settings to all units?"

...

Peter looks pretty ashamed of himself.

"If I hypnotized Balaa not to be angry...but that would be bad..."

 

[AmethystRoze]

She nodded. "Yes." She said simply

…………..

Candy got closer to Peter nuzzling him.

Balaa stuck closer to her mother.

 

[JessieSune]

Simon giggles, busily reprogramming the other bots and then starting them back up. In unison they say "Moral CPU online -- host: Simon. All thoughts, ideas, and actions will now be authorized by Pikabot Processor."

"That's right!" he says, hands on hips. "I'm the boss!" For a moment he pretends to look stern, then breaks out into synthesized giggles. "Oh! You guys have lots of ideas. Good thing my new brain can keep up, huh?"

...

"I messed up, huh Candy? How do you think I can get Balaa to like me again?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle giggled at Simon's tough guy act. "Any that seem helpful?" She asked.

....

She wasn't used to psychic speaking so she jumped a bit. "uhh can you hear me? Yeah? Well don't worry, she pretend she's tough but she'll warn back up to you."

 

[JessieSune]

"Hm...yeah," he says. "We could install cameras in the place to record what's happening, then leak the footage and get the place shut down by regulators! At least, that's one idea. Another is to...oh no, not that...um...what if we simply teleported all the Pokemon out of the building? Shelby can melt Pokemon after all, right? She could filter them right out of the system and then reconstruct them."

"That one was mine," says Liese, proud of herself and the fact her idea made it past her new controller.

...

"Yeah, but...I just meant it in fun. She's acting like I was being mean...I wasn't trying to be..."

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle's ears perked sty this last idea, and age smiled at Liese's response. "Could you do that at such a large scale Shelby?" She said, impressed at the idea.

...


"Me and mommy know that, and I think Balaa might to, but she sometimes can't look past first impression."

 

[JessieSune]

"Well..." thinks Shelby, "I could, I think. I need a bit more time to develop the tech, some more practice -- and the specs for the places' ventilation system."

...

"If I taught her how to hypnotize me you think she'd like me better?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

"But you think you could do it." She said, nuzzling her to stimulate her a but, like her mom used to do.

...

"hypnotize you? You could do that?"

 

[JessieSune]

"Yes...I think so," Shelby nods. "If we manage to melt all the Pokemon inside, we'd certainly be able to manage a safe extraction -- and ruin their reputation as well, come to think of it!"

"I predict a high success rate," replies Simon, "But that's because I'm an optimist, not because I know anything."

Cass and Radar both laugh, but the bots remain entirely placid, dedicated to serving their new leader and respecting him too.

...

"I could teach you, if you wanted me to. Hypnosis is actually not that hard, as long as you understand how it works. Want to learn?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle laughed with the rest, Simon's goodness never fading. "Well I'll take your word for it either way." She said.

....

"No that's all right..I'm but sure that would help with balls either..maybe you two should just talk.."

 

[JessieSune]

"Okay," he says, his LEDs beaming with delight. "So...um...what should I do now?"

"Go ahead and relax, okay, Simon? Just keep an eye on the Lucaribots while I work with them to get the building specs and look into sizing the aromatherapy device for the building."

"Alright," he says. "It feels funny, though. Do robots relax? I feel like I'm supposed to keep working."

"C'mon, buddy," says Radar. "We can play Shock Exchange."

"Oh, I love that game!" Simon grins. "Let's play."

...

"I'm no good at talking...but I'll try," he swallows anxiously.

"Alright, guys, I'll be back later, alright? I'm going to go talk to Daddy." Malea takes a few steps away.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle turned to Shelby. "Could you use help Shelby? Or would it be best to get out of the way?" She asked tilting her head.

..

Candy just nodded and Balaa tried to follow her mom just to turn away when she said she wanted to talk privately. She say awkwardly where she was.

 

[JessieSune]

"Well, I've got a few bots helping, but to practice the aromatherapy process I do need test Pokemon. How do you feel about me simultaneously liquefying you, Cass, and Radar?"

...

"Balaa?" Peter slowly approaches. "Are...are you still mad at me? I...I didn't mean to do anything wrong. I...I can show you how...how I did it...um...please...don't...don't...hate...me..."

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Whatever you need." She said smiling. "I'm at your disposal, though I suppose I can't choose for the others."

..

Balaa looked at him angrily.. But the anger was only skin deep it was stubborn anger. "But you!...." Her gaze melted to a frown. "No....I'm sorry I was being mean..."

 

[JessieSune]

"Well," says Cass, "If my wife agrees to it then I should as well. Besides, as my trainer you certainly have the right."

"I've never been turned into a liquid," says Radar. "It sounds interesting. If it doesn't hurt, I'll try it."

"Okay!" Shelby grins. "In that case, I'll do you first, Radar. I'm going to keep you bottled up for a long time, okay? So make sure you don't need to do anything first."

"Uh...I think I'm good," he laughs. "I'll see you later, okay, Simon?"

"See you!" Simon replies, hugging his brother.

Shelby picks up the Raichu and places him in the chamber, then turns it on.

"You'll be next, Cass. Danielle, you're last, alright?"

...

"I was bad...you ought to be angry with me. Maybe...maybe if I taught you how to hypnotize Pokemon it would make it better?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle nodded, slightly anticipating the event. "Just to be curious why that particular order?"

...

"I didn't know you could do that... No I'm fine..I appreciate it though.

 

[JessieSune]

Shelby leans in and nuzzles Shelby "Because you're my favorite," she whispers playfully. "And because you're the most invested in this process."

Radar is already beginning to soften up inside the device. The last thing he manages to say is "Com....fy..." before his brain totally liquefies, shutting his mind off and turning him into a pool of Pokemon. A few minutes later he's poured and bottled up, and the bottle is sealed with a heat lamp, fusing it into a solid vessel without any holes. Shelby takes it out and gives it a good shake.

"One liquid Raichu, perfectly sealed for permanent preservation. Your turn, Cass!"

Cass nods and floats into the machine himself, then waits as she powers it on.

...

"Are you sure? I mean...I could at least teach you how to hypnotize me...just to make it up to you."

Oddly, the idea sounds rather attractive.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle smiled and licked Shelby off a little as she was still leaned down, her words went strait to her heart and made her feel gushy. She turned her attention to radar, seeing him melt. "Do I always look that goofy when I'm in there?"

...


"I mean if you want..." She said, wondering why he seemed to be pushing it as candy just watched, not wanting to interfere.

 

[AmethystRoze]

(Wait don't post I'll fix it)

 

[AmethystRoze]

(Sorry about that, I had to turn my Auto correct off AGAIN)
