Thread: The World as it Is (Pokemon RP; NSFW)

Though an attack like Psybeam did not cause any effects that human senses could pick up, save for the beam of visible light that was now erupting from the gem on Evangeline's forehead, it did cause several that many breeds of pokemon could sense. In this case, the release of such a powerful energy caused the air to crackle and pop on an inaudible level as it became charged by the psychic energy. While Ilana had no chance of hearing it, the half-sleeping Arcanine had been made aware of the attack by the high-frequency sounds the moment that it had been launched. Though knowing that the attack was coming would hardly be enough to avoid it given the state that he was currently in. Despite knowing that he was about to be slammed with an attack from somewhere, Arcanine pulled his legs back until his knees were nearly at his chest and launched himself forward onto his feet. Once he had made it to his feet, he crouched down and prepared himself to make an escape at breakneck speed. For a second it looked as though he would be able to dodge the attack until the full brunt of the beam caught him in the back right between the shoulders. Evangeline had aimed her attack at a lying form. If he had remained standing, perhaps the blast would have only knocked his legs out from under him or, if he was lucky, missed. Crouching, however, put his body right back in the path of the attack. How was he to know? Evangeline had made sure to take every advantage possible, which meant hitting him from behind. The humanoid canine went flying off of the rock as a result of such a strong attack. Evangeline had hit her target, and she had hit him hard, but it became clear very quickly that she hadn't hit him quite hard enough. When the arcanine slammed into the ground on the other side of the rock, he used the momentum of the attack to kick himself off of the ground and landed right back on his feet and turned his attention toward his attackers. Through half-glazed eyes, the arcanine barely registered who had attacked him. As far as he could tell at that time, there were two humans standing just beyond the rock upon which he had been resting. The look in his eyes would have been a sure sign to any experienced trainer that the necessary damage had been done. Arcanine had already been groggy from the relaxing rays of the sun. The extra force of the attack on his body made it feel heavy. He knew, without even trying, that the Extreme Speed techniques that had made his breed of pokemon infamous would be of no use to him right now. He would never be able to move that fast feeling like this. That didn't mean that he was helpless, of course. Arcanine were known far and wide as a near-legendary pokemon due to their rarity and their power. This one was ready to show these two humans why his breed had earned such an honor. It took only seconds for him to ready an attack that would have put the espeon morph's psybeam to shame. For mere moments, flames seemed to leak and drip from his muzzle before he opened his mouth as wide as it could go. In that instant, a great stream of flame erupted from the arcanine's maw and flew toward the girl and her pokemorph companion. At first, it seemed as though Arcanine had used a standard Flamethrower technique but while the stream was in route, headed straight for Ilana, it formed into the shape of a large five-pronged star - a Fire Blast.
