It's a nice day for a walk, isn't it?

[twiceinhabited]

Who: Amane and YOU!
Where: Volo Dorm, and then the path forwards the forest.
When:  Today, day time.
Style: Action, baby 
Status: Open

[Ever since Silver gave her Shae, Amane is trying trying her best to take care of the Eevee. She learned how to take care of her, as well as what to feed her and how to train the small Pokemon. The priestess isn’t interested in battling, but she knows it’s necessary to know how to defend oneself. As well as being healthy and fit.

So whenever she can, Amane would take Shae out for a walk towards the forest. There’s plenty of room for running around there, and the Eevee can explore to her heart’s content.

Shae is running ahead of her, waiting for Amane at the dorm’s doors so they can leave. Once Amane opened the doors, the two of them start walking. Or rather, Shae running ahead from time to time, and Amane keeping up with her energetic Eevee.

Will you encounter these two, Vatheon? And at where?]

(OOC: As a reminder, if your characters can sense it, Amane is a host to both a demon and an angel. It might tingle their supernatural senses.)

[She might accept, but she thought both her and Shae won't be a good enough challenge.]

It's nice to meet you, Cheren. My name is Amane Kuzuryu and I'm a priestess from Japan.

[typeadvantage]

[Japan? Well, he knew it was a place in other worlds, and he also knew the Japan that was here in Vatheon before, but he'd never actually met someone from there. Or at least, to his knowledge. He'd never really asked too many of the people not from the Pokemon world where they were from.]

Did you know the Japan that was here, then? Or are you from an entirely different world than him?

[twiceinhabited]

I know Japan, but I'm not from the same world as him.

[If they are, Amane would have apologise to him. If Japan knew what she did, she can hope he understands. But now, she haven't told him.]

Our worlds are similiar, but mine doesn't have personified countries.

[typeadvantage]

[He's really not all that surprised that personified countries aren't exactly a common thing. If they were, he was sure there would be someone running around saying they were Unova.]

That makes sense. So, your world doesn't have anything comparable to Pokemon, either, I assume. Right?

[twiceinhabited]

We have animals, but they don't have the Pokemon's range of abilities. [But then again...] There are demons, but most of them dwell in their own world.

[typeadvantage]

[Animals, he's familiar with. There's plenty of those here. Demons, though? That catches his interest.]

Demons? What do you mean by that?

[twiceinhabited]

They're supernatural creatures, often with great strengths and powers. People don't usually see them back in my world.

[Until the lockdown happened. Um.]

[typeadvantage]

[that pesky lockdown]

So, they're similar to Pokemon, except less common, and you don't catch them, I'm assuming?

[twiceinhabited]

That's correct. There are ways of contracting demons to do our bidding, but it can be costly.

[Like "may die" costly.]

[typeadvantage]

[welp, that's much less pleasant than throwing a Pokeball at something.]

Can you have more than one, or is it only possible to... contract with one demon?

[twiceinhabited]

You can have more than one contract. It's possible to have as many as you like, as long you have the time and resources for them.

[Then again, the Devil Auction streamlined the process a lot.]

[typeadvantage]

Huh. Well, I guess that's similar enough, in a way. A Trainer can carry up to six Pokemon, but they can catch as many as they're able to.

[twiceinhabited]

Yes. I heard about that from Silver. [Having a trainer as a boyfriend got its perks. Like learning Pokemon things.]

We can field two demons per tamer in battle, but we can switch them around as necessary.

[typeadvantage]

[he frowns a bit at the mention of Silver's name. While he hadn't seen him at all since he arrived here again, the last times he was here, he and Silver hadn't really gotten along well at all.]

So he's still here, too, then.

Can you switch them in the middle of a battle, out of curiosity?

[twiceinhabited]

[She's not surprised by that, if she knows it. Amane would have prefer for them to get along a little better.]

Yes, he's still here. [A fact she's glad for, if she can indulge her selfish desires.]

As long I'm not being attacked, I can switch them. [Because if she's down, that means no more demons coming out.]

[typeadvantage]

[so long as she's not being attacked? Well, there's one main difference. Pokemon could be switched around outside of battle, sure, but switching them in and out could really only happen during.]

Looks like we found another difference, then. Trainers switch Pokemon in and out during battle all the time, if they feel the need to. Type advantages and disadvantages can entice a Trainer to switch to a more favorable match-up.

[twiceinhabited]

Mainly because, from what I know, Pokemon trainers aren't targeted as often as demon tamers.

[If the demon tamer's under attack (or knocked out), they can't bring out new demons to fight with.]

But demons do have resistances and different skills, similiar to Pokemon types. A smart tamer should know how to match their team and to cover up their weaknesses.

[typeadvantage]

Well, it also sounds like we aren't targeted in the same way. Generally, Trainers aren't attacked during battle.

[weaknesses and resistances are something familiar, though, he knows all about that.]

That's the same with Pokemon. You can cover for your own type weaknesses with attacks that affect the type strong against it. Can you do that with demons?

[twiceinhabited]

[Which is one point for Trainers. Being attacked by spells or claws (or talons, beaks, fangs...) aren't fun at all.]

Yes. We usually cover up their weaknesses with skills. [Aw yeah, fusion and its inherent potential for gamebreaking.] I can help them by providing support in battle.

[typeadvantage]

[no, the idea of getting attacked by a Tyranitar or something is just not a pleasant one.]

How do you support them? Is it how a Trainer would by directing them, or do you do other things, too?

[twiceinhabited]

We give orders like a Trainer, but we also directly participate in battles as well. I normally support them with supportive magic, but I can fight.

[Which generally makes her a high priority target, because being an enemy healer in an Atlus game? Yeah.]

[typeadvantage]

[well, supportive magic was kind of similar to potions and healing items. Not all that different. Participating in battle is different, though. That just sound dangerous.]

You fight them? How can you hold up against demons? Normally I'd think they would be able to take down a human without any problem.

[twiceinhabited]

My COMP have a feature to allow me to fight demons on...reasonably equal ground. [Somewhat. Some battles are still tough for her like losing her own boss fight.] It strengthens my power and weakens their attacks, so I can fend for myself enough.

[She still need her demons to cover for her.]

[typeadvantage]

[huh well. That was interesting. He never would have thought something like that was possible, since he's likening it to someone being able to fight a Dragonite or something on equal terms.]

And does everyone have one of those where you're from?

[twiceinhabited]

[To be fair, that comparison isn't that far off.]

No. Only those in the Shomonkai are supposed to have them, but people have been leaking our COMPs to civilians.

[The leak's too fast for Naoya's handiwork, so there might be others.]
